00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.980
 I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts.

00:00:08.380 --> 00:00:16.320
 I will look to see what he will say to me and what answer I am to give to this complaint.

00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:19.400
 Then the Lord replied,

00:00:20.339 --> 00:00:25.960
 Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.

00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:29.640
 For the revelation awaits an appointed time.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.960
 It speaks of the end and will not prove false.

00:00:34.939 --> 00:00:37.859
 Though it linger, wait for it.

00:00:38.579 --> 00:00:42.380
 It will certainly come and will not delay.

00:00:43.780 --> 00:00:50.659
 See, he is puffed up, his desires are not upright, but the righteous will live by his faith.

00:00:51.539 --> 00:00:53.120
 Indeed, wine betrays him.

00:00:53.780 --> 00:00:55.859
 He is arrogant and never at rest.

00:00:55.859 --> 00:01:08.560
 But because he is as greedy as the grave and like death is never satisfied, he gathers to himself all the nations and takes captive all the peoples.

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:14.939
 Will not all of them taunt him with ridicule and scorn, saying,

00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:20.939
 Woe to him who piles up stolen goods and makes himself wealthy by extortion?

00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.219
 How long must this go on?

00:01:24.500 --> 00:01:26.820
 Will not your debtors suddenly arise?

00:01:26.819 --> 00:01:29.459
 Will they not wake up and make you tremble?

00:01:30.459 --> 00:01:35.679
 Then you will become their victim, because you have plundered many nations.

00:01:36.679 --> 00:01:39.179
 The peoples who are left will plunder you.

00:01:40.259 --> 00:01:42.379
 For you have shed man's blood.

00:01:43.099 --> 00:01:47.239
 You have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.

00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:52.119
 Woe to him who builds this realm by unjust gain.

00:01:52.979 --> 00:01:54.839
 To set his nest on high.

00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.000
 To escape the clutches of ruin.

00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.019
 You have plotted the ruin of many peoples.

00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.359
 Shaming your own house and forfeiting your life.

00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:09.840
 The stones of the wall will cry out and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.

00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:15.740
 Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by crime.

00:02:15.740 --> 00:02:23.320
 Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people's labour is only fuel for the fire?

00:02:24.320 --> 00:02:26.860
 That nations exhaust themselves for nothing?

00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:37.400
 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:42.920
 Well, I'm going to invite Martin, if he'd like to come up now.

00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.119
 He's going to speak to us.

00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.639
 There will be opportunity to talk to Martin and to Elizabeth afterwards.

00:02:50.780 --> 00:02:52.039
 So please do that.

00:02:52.119 --> 00:02:52.579
 Take time.

00:02:52.659 --> 00:02:54.819
 I'm sure you'll say a little bit about your books.

00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:00.019
 But before you do, I'm going to pray for you and then let you speak away.

00:03:00.239 --> 00:03:00.619
 Is that okay?

00:03:00.619 --> 00:03:01.000
 Thank you.

00:03:01.139 --> 00:03:02.159
 It's more than okay.

00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:02.879
 Great.

00:03:03.139 --> 00:03:03.859
 Well, let's pray.

00:03:03.860 --> 00:03:08.080
 Father God, we thank you so much for Martin and for Elizabeth.

00:03:08.920 --> 00:03:11.040
 We thank you for their many years of service.

00:03:11.320 --> 00:03:14.800
 We thank you for their gifts that you have given them.

00:03:15.580 --> 00:03:19.160
 Their gifts of teaching, as we have heard over this past weekend.

00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:29.579
 And we pray that they now would be that continued blessing to us and encouragement to us as a church family.

00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:39.219
 And that we would be a people who would understand what it is to see the glory of the Lord fill the earth.

00:03:40.259 --> 00:03:42.079
 And we pray now for Martin.

00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.219
 Fill him with your spirit and us.

00:03:44.780 --> 00:03:48.079
 Speak through him words of life.

00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:48.520
 Amen.

00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:51.140
 We pray this in Jesus' name.

00:03:51.980 --> 00:03:52.380
 Amen.

00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:55.740
 Thanks very much, Martin, for coming.

00:03:55.920 --> 00:03:58.720
 Thank you, Elizabeth, for coming too and to be with us today.

00:04:00.100 --> 00:04:00.740
 Thank you.

00:04:00.780 --> 00:04:04.780
 Well, it's great to be among you and to share with you this morning.

00:04:04.980 --> 00:04:09.060
 Thank you for allowing us to be part of your fellowship for this morning.

00:04:09.420 --> 00:04:10.180
 That's great.

00:04:11.140 --> 00:04:15.980
 I thought I would just encourage you for a moment, before we turn to the Word,

00:04:15.979 --> 00:04:31.480
 on Thursday, Elizabeth and I will be flying out to India to visit the churches that her great-grandparents planted

00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:35.779
 around 160 years ago.

00:04:35.779 --> 00:04:47.439
 During her great-grandparents' time, there was terrific opposition to the Gospel.

00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.339
 Terrific, terrific opposition.

00:04:49.339 --> 00:04:57.099
 And they saw very few people turning to the Lord.

00:04:57.239 --> 00:05:00.019
 A few, but nothing very much.

00:05:00.019 --> 00:05:08.479
 Today, 160 years later, the fruit of their labors is enormous.

00:05:11.979 --> 00:05:15.899
 There's a central church with a congregation of 700.

00:05:15.899 --> 00:05:23.839
 And then the actual church that they planted originally has around 200.

00:05:24.659 --> 00:05:31.139
 And they have planted around 240 other churches in the area.

00:05:31.139 --> 00:05:40.379
 And then they have around 400, what they call for preaching stations.

00:05:41.180 --> 00:05:46.199
 That's congregations of under 35, 40, that sort of size.

00:05:46.979 --> 00:05:54.719
 So, altogether, well over 600 congregations out from that central one.

00:05:54.720 --> 00:06:02.380
 And of course, tens of thousands of believers are coming out of this tiny little beginning

00:06:02.380 --> 00:06:05.800
 with all the opposition and so on.

00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:11.580
 And I'm sure that great-grandfather and great-grandmother,

00:06:12.580 --> 00:06:18.520
 when they look down from heaven, they must smile, I think,

00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:22.580
 and say, wow, we never pictured anything like that, you know.

00:06:22.579 --> 00:06:32.500
 It all seems so small and difficult and fruitless and tremendous opposition.

00:06:33.859 --> 00:06:37.479
 And yet, out of that has come this major movement of God.

00:06:38.159 --> 00:06:40.240
 And that's still growing, of course.

00:06:40.419 --> 00:06:41.699
 Well, not of course, but it is.

00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:43.979
 So, be encouraged.

00:06:43.980 --> 00:06:53.400
 You know, as you look out on this area and you think, well, praise the Lord for the little group here

00:06:53.400 --> 00:06:59.020
 and the little group there and the little group you're starting in Kinsale and so on.

00:06:59.019 --> 00:07:07.519
 And you think, oh, well, you know, we're in a situation of tremendous secularism

00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:11.899
 and tremendous disinterest in the gospel.

00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:17.079
 Can't expect anything much here, you know.

00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:23.639
 And yet, the Lord did it in India and he can do it here.

00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:28.879
 And he did it with great-grandparents and he can do it for you.

00:07:29.699 --> 00:07:30.879
 So, be encouraged.

00:07:31.919 --> 00:07:34.319
 Well, that was all just a little extra there.

00:07:35.819 --> 00:07:38.259
 I hadn't planned to say that, but I thought I would.

00:07:40.500 --> 00:07:42.240
 We're turning back to Habakkuk.

00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:44.639
 And it's...

00:07:45.180 --> 00:07:48.079
 Habakkuk is such a brilliant book.

00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:57.800
 Let me recommend it to you to just enjoy it and revel in what the Lord has said in Habakkuk.

00:07:58.659 --> 00:08:07.279
 Just before we turn to Habakkuk 2, let me say that we brought a whole mass of books with us from home.

00:08:08.039 --> 00:08:11.740
 But yesterday, nearly all of them sold.

00:08:11.740 --> 00:08:20.139
 But you can look up our names on the net.

00:08:21.100 --> 00:08:26.060
 And you can order Elizabeth's life story or my life story.

00:08:26.280 --> 00:08:29.620
 You'll see them on the net if you look at Amazon and our name.

00:08:30.960 --> 00:08:38.879
 But there are just a few left, including actually, I think, three copies of a book on Habakkuk.

00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:40.539
 Any complaints?

00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:43.019
 Blame God.

00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:45.340
 Which is what people do, isn't it?

00:08:47.980 --> 00:08:50.019
 And Habakkuk did it as well.

00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.460
 So, when they do it, they're being quite prophetic.

00:08:55.460 --> 00:08:57.960
 Not just pathetic, but prophetic.

00:08:59.299 --> 00:09:00.360
 Any complaints?

00:09:01.179 --> 00:09:01.840
 Blame God.

00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:05.559
 Well, what was Habakkuk's problem?

00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.539
 What was he blaming God about?

00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:14.679
 Well, let me remind you of the whole book of Habakkuk very briefly.

00:09:15.899 --> 00:09:20.059
 Habakkuk was looking out on his own society in Judah

00:09:20.059 --> 00:09:26.419
 and complaining about the fact that they were just steeped in sin.

00:09:28.419 --> 00:09:32.740
 Tremendous evil and awful.

00:09:32.740 --> 00:09:38.919
 Habakkuk said, Lord, do something for Judah.

00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:46.560
 And God says to Habakkuk, no, actually, I am doing something you don't think I am.

00:09:46.820 --> 00:09:47.860
 I am at work.

00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:49.360
 Perhaps you don't see it.

00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.720
 But I am at work not among your people.

00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:55.879
 I am actually at work among the nations, among the Gentiles.

00:09:56.379 --> 00:09:57.820
 Not just among Judah.

00:09:57.820 --> 00:10:01.100
 And I am doing fantastic work.

00:10:02.040 --> 00:10:06.620
 And then God shocks Habakkuk and says what he is doing.

00:10:07.300 --> 00:10:10.240
 He is raising up the Chaldeans.

00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.280
 And Habakkuk said, but Lord, you can't do that.

00:10:14.540 --> 00:10:17.400
 The Chaldeans are even worse than Judah.

00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:26.539
 And Judah, in comparison with the Chaldeans, is a, you know, a set of innocents.

00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:35.039
 The Chaldeans are a ferocious, cruel, evil, idolatrous people.

00:10:35.199 --> 00:10:40.559
 Any other bad adjectives you want to find, you can apply them to the Chaldeans and they'll fit.

00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:47.000
 And yet God says, that's the people I'm raising up as my instruments.

00:10:48.019 --> 00:10:52.599
 And Habakkuk says, well, you can't do that, God, because you're a holy God.

00:10:53.259 --> 00:10:56.379
 You're so holy you can't even look on sin.

00:10:57.259 --> 00:11:04.579
 And now you say, you're raising up this appallingly sinful people as your instruments.

00:11:05.119 --> 00:11:06.519
 How can you do that?

00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:11.720
 And that leads us into chapter 2.

00:11:13.379 --> 00:11:19.179
 And Habakkuk, with this complaint and questioning of God,

00:11:20.439 --> 00:11:24.460
 Habakkuk says, I'll stand at my watch, chapter 2, verse 1,

00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.779
 and I'll station myself on the ramparts.

00:11:27.779 --> 00:11:39.519
 And you can picture an ancient city with its walls around and being the guard standing on the walls there,

00:11:39.659 --> 00:11:45.779
 looking out over the fields to see if there are any enemies coming and seeing what's going on.

00:11:45.779 --> 00:11:53.939
 Well now, actually the words there could be related to a city and its walls,

00:11:53.939 --> 00:11:58.220
 but it could also, the words actually used in the original,

00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.699
 could also relate to a harvest field.

00:12:04.379 --> 00:12:07.519
 And all the crops are growing up,

00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:09.340
 and in the middle of the field,

00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:15.819
 they would have a little raised platform with a seat on the top,

00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:21.240
 and usually just a boy would sit on the top there,

00:12:21.699 --> 00:12:26.600
 and there'd be strings going out into the field from there.

00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:32.060
 And the boy's job was to watch whether any birds were attacking the harvest.

00:12:32.899 --> 00:12:38.100
 And if birds came, he'd lift up the strings and frighten the birds away.

00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:40.019
 But in one way or another,

00:12:41.180 --> 00:12:45.440
 whether stationed to see that nothing affects the harvest,

00:12:46.019 --> 00:12:50.779
 or whether stationed on the ramparts of a wall of a city,

00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:54.800
 to see that no enemy is coming to destroy you,

00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:57.419
 in one way or another,

00:12:58.419 --> 00:13:01.359
 look out and see what God is doing,

00:13:01.500 --> 00:13:03.679
 and see what is happening around you.

00:13:03.859 --> 00:13:06.679
 See whether there are things that are bad happening,

00:13:06.819 --> 00:13:08.879
 as well as what is good that is happening.

00:13:10.359 --> 00:13:12.139
 And so Habakkuk says,

00:13:12.139 --> 00:13:14.439
 I will stand at my watch,

00:13:15.379 --> 00:13:17.139
 and I will look to see,

00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:18.879
 it's very interesting this,

00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:24.919
 I will look to see what he will say to me.

00:13:26.220 --> 00:13:28.879
 You think, well, if God's speaking,

00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.279
 surely it's the ears, not the eyes,

00:13:32.700 --> 00:13:33.720
 that are important.

00:13:34.220 --> 00:13:36.019
 That you hear a word,

00:13:36.100 --> 00:13:38.059
 you don't normally see a word.

00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:39.379
 Yeah?

00:13:39.379 --> 00:13:43.200
 But Habakkuk, like all the prophets,

00:13:44.340 --> 00:13:48.019
 very much emphasizes the idea of seeing.

00:13:48.700 --> 00:13:50.179
 I mentioned this yesterday,

00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:51.720
 so those who were there yesterday,

00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:52.679
 please forgive me,

00:13:53.139 --> 00:13:56.939
 that a prophet is known as a seer.

00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:58.039
 A seer.

00:13:59.620 --> 00:14:02.320
 A prophet is one who keeps his eyes open,

00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:04.779
 or her eyes open, if you want,

00:14:04.779 --> 00:14:10.100
 to see what the God of history is actually doing.

00:14:11.819 --> 00:14:14.500
 And when you see what's going on,

00:14:14.819 --> 00:14:19.459
 then you can have a real understanding

00:14:19.459 --> 00:14:23.259
 of what's the purpose of God,

00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:24.740
 what's the will of God,

00:14:24.740 --> 00:14:26.100
 in the world of our day.

00:14:26.980 --> 00:14:29.480
 And you have a ministry of a prophet.

00:14:30.319 --> 00:14:33.860
 So I will look to see what God will say,

00:14:33.860 --> 00:14:37.560
 and God speaks through what's going on.

00:14:38.180 --> 00:14:39.539
 And so, you know,

00:14:39.680 --> 00:14:40.740
 as you pray,

00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.279
 and as you plan for the church,

00:14:43.779 --> 00:14:46.879
 you keep your newspaper open,

00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:50.399
 or your television news on.

00:14:51.779 --> 00:14:53.159
 But in one way or another,

00:14:53.680 --> 00:14:57.879
 you see the purposes of God.

00:14:58.379 --> 00:15:01.200
 I will look to see what he will say,

00:15:01.620 --> 00:15:03.220
 and then the translation here,

00:15:03.220 --> 00:15:04.019
 it's okay,

00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:08.240
 but it's not really literally accurate.

00:15:08.940 --> 00:15:11.519
 It's really what he will say in me.

00:15:14.100 --> 00:15:16.139
 And we all know that, don't we?

00:15:16.460 --> 00:15:16.759
 You know,

00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:19.360
 we have some real question,

00:15:19.540 --> 00:15:21.620
 real complaint even.

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:23.120
 We're wondering, you know,

00:15:23.180 --> 00:15:24.720
 what on earth is God doing?

00:15:24.860 --> 00:15:25.060
 You know,

00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:26.580
 God, you shouldn't be doing that.

00:15:26.660 --> 00:15:27.399
 This is awful.

00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:27.820
 You know,

00:15:27.820 --> 00:15:28.760
 why this?

00:15:28.760 --> 00:15:29.720
 Why that?

00:15:32.280 --> 00:15:32.879
 And then,

00:15:34.160 --> 00:15:35.600
 as we struggle with it,

00:15:36.379 --> 00:15:36.840
 actually,

00:15:37.040 --> 00:15:39.680
 we give the answer to our questions

00:15:39.680 --> 00:15:41.460
 from within ourselves.

00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:43.960
 God actually works in us,

00:15:44.180 --> 00:15:45.300
 not from outside,

00:15:45.760 --> 00:15:46.740
 but from within,

00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:47.879
 by his Spirit,

00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:52.279
 so that our minds are actually determined

00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:55.580
 by God and his Spirit,

00:15:55.939 --> 00:15:58.860
 and we actually give the answers

00:15:58.860 --> 00:16:01.159
 to our own questions and problems.

00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:02.519
 So,

00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:04.600
 I'll look out to see

00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:05.839
 what he will say,

00:16:06.100 --> 00:16:06.519
 actually,

00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:07.740
 in me,

00:16:08.819 --> 00:16:09.699
 Habakkuk says.

00:16:10.579 --> 00:16:11.179
 And,

00:16:11.319 --> 00:16:12.399
 ask the Lord

00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:15.039
 that he will work in you,

00:16:15.299 --> 00:16:16.279
 in such a way,

00:16:16.860 --> 00:16:17.659
 in you,

00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:19.579
 in such a way,

00:16:19.580 --> 00:16:21.620
 that actually,

00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:23.240
 you have the answers

00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:25.400
 to questions,

00:16:25.900 --> 00:16:26.420
 problems,

00:16:27.060 --> 00:16:27.680
 situations

00:16:27.680 --> 00:16:28.940
 that you face.

00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:31.040
 I love the,

00:16:31.180 --> 00:16:32.840
 the words of Paul.

00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:34.139
 I don't find them easy.

00:16:35.220 --> 00:16:36.340
 But Paul says,

00:16:36.700 --> 00:16:38.960
 just in parenthesis,

00:16:39.060 --> 00:16:40.980
 it's not a main point or anything,

00:16:41.400 --> 00:16:42.980
 but in the Corinthian letters,

00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:43.460
 he says,

00:16:43.900 --> 00:16:46.820
 we have the mind of Christ.

00:16:49.580 --> 00:16:50.139
 Now,

00:16:50.259 --> 00:16:51.220
 I find it very easy

00:16:51.220 --> 00:16:52.800
 to turn that into a prayer

00:16:52.800 --> 00:16:54.080
 rather than a statement.

00:16:54.540 --> 00:16:54.780
 Lord,

00:16:55.020 --> 00:16:56.860
 give me the mind of Christ.

00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:57.620
 Lord,

00:16:57.820 --> 00:16:58.720
 help me to,

00:16:58.860 --> 00:17:01.379
 to think the thoughts of God.

00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:04.059
 That my mind

00:17:04.059 --> 00:17:05.340
 might work

00:17:05.340 --> 00:17:06.940
 in God's way,

00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:09.059
 with God's thoughts,

00:17:09.740 --> 00:17:10.880
 so that I see things

00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:12.740
 from God's perspective.

00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:14.019
 And I very easily

00:17:14.019 --> 00:17:15.299
 turn that into a prayer

00:17:15.299 --> 00:17:15.680
 because,

00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:17.660
 frankly,

00:17:17.660 --> 00:17:18.840
 I don't find it easy

00:17:18.840 --> 00:17:19.559
 just to say,

00:17:19.579 --> 00:17:20.220
 with confidence,

00:17:20.419 --> 00:17:20.720
 you know,

00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:23.359
 I think the thoughts of God.

00:17:24.339 --> 00:17:26.139
 I have the mind of Christ.

00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:28.139
 But,

00:17:28.220 --> 00:17:30.419
 as we steep ourselves

00:17:30.419 --> 00:17:31.359
 in scripture

00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:32.759
 and in prayer

00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:34.139
 and in walking

00:17:34.139 --> 00:17:35.179
 with the Lord,

00:17:36.299 --> 00:17:38.759
 the Lord forms our minds.

00:17:40.339 --> 00:17:41.019
 And,

00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:43.259
 we have,

00:17:43.579 --> 00:17:44.179
 Paul says,

00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:46.519
 we have the mind of Christ.

00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:46.720
 So,

00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:48.700
 I look out to see,

00:17:48.859 --> 00:17:49.579
 Habakkuk says,

00:17:49.639 --> 00:17:51.000
 what he will say in me

00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:52.259
 and what answer

00:17:52.259 --> 00:17:53.839
 I am to give

00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:55.440
 to this complaint

00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:56.299
 that I've made

00:17:56.299 --> 00:17:58.460
 about raising up

00:17:58.460 --> 00:17:59.240
 the Chaldeans.

00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:00.579
 And the Lord replied,

00:18:00.740 --> 00:18:01.359
 verse 2,

00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:03.440
 write down the revelation

00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:05.079
 so that a herald

00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:06.279
 may run with it.

00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:08.399
 and,

00:18:08.460 --> 00:18:08.980
 again,

00:18:09.539 --> 00:18:11.359
 if you look at the commentaries,

00:18:11.539 --> 00:18:14.700
 it's got two possible senses there.

00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:17.099
 One is that you write it,

00:18:17.779 --> 00:18:19.359
 that Habakkuk should write down

00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:20.940
 the revelation of God

00:18:20.940 --> 00:18:23.440
 and it should be so clear

00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:25.519
 that the herald

00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:27.680
 will immediately obey it

00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:29.319
 and run with it.

00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:30.759
 And,

00:18:30.879 --> 00:18:32.659
 that's something we want,

00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:33.200
 isn't it?

00:18:33.619 --> 00:18:35.439
 That the revelation of God,

00:18:35.539 --> 00:18:36.740
 the word of the Lord

00:18:36.740 --> 00:18:39.200
 should be so clear to us

00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:41.659
 and to the people around us

00:18:41.659 --> 00:18:43.779
 that people will jump

00:18:43.779 --> 00:18:44.720
 to obey it.

00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:47.639
 Jump to follow the Lord

00:18:47.639 --> 00:18:49.480
 in his purposes

00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:50.439
 and his will.

00:18:51.439 --> 00:18:54.019
 That the herald

00:18:54.019 --> 00:18:55.720
 may run with it.

00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:56.939
 But it's also got

00:18:56.939 --> 00:18:58.799
 another rather amusing sense

00:18:58.799 --> 00:18:59.980
 that

00:18:59.980 --> 00:19:03.559
 Habakkuk should write down

00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:04.259
 the revelation

00:19:04.259 --> 00:19:07.099
 and it should be so clear

00:19:07.099 --> 00:19:09.279
 that a herald

00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:11.159
 can actually run

00:19:11.159 --> 00:19:12.399
 with the revelation.

00:19:12.899 --> 00:19:13.379
 Of course,

00:19:13.460 --> 00:19:14.440
 it was before books,

00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:15.299
 it was tablets,

00:19:16.159 --> 00:19:18.099
 but run with the tablets there

00:19:18.099 --> 00:19:19.159
 and,

00:19:19.639 --> 00:19:19.859
 you know,

00:19:19.899 --> 00:19:20.740
 when you run,

00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:22.559
 everything bobs up and down,

00:19:22.659 --> 00:19:23.180
 doesn't it?

00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:25.159
 But it should be so clear

00:19:25.159 --> 00:19:26.019
 that you can run

00:19:26.019 --> 00:19:27.079
 and still read it.

00:19:28.180 --> 00:19:28.680
 Well,

00:19:29.460 --> 00:19:30.740
 whichever sense you take,

00:19:31.460 --> 00:19:32.680
 the meaning is clear.

00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:35.879
 That the revelation of God

00:19:35.879 --> 00:19:37.399
 should be so clear

00:19:37.399 --> 00:19:38.819
 that you obey it,

00:19:39.180 --> 00:19:40.059
 you follow it,

00:19:41.059 --> 00:19:43.200
 and you run to obey it.

00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:48.340
 It's terribly un-European,

00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:48.580
 this,

00:19:48.600 --> 00:19:49.580
 and I do apologise,

00:19:50.180 --> 00:19:52.660
 if I'm allowed to apologise

00:19:52.660 --> 00:19:53.840
 for the word of the Lord.

00:19:57.140 --> 00:19:57.660
 But,

00:19:57.759 --> 00:19:59.180
 you know,

00:19:59.259 --> 00:20:00.460
 we immediately say,

00:20:00.940 --> 00:20:01.220
 well,

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:03.519
 write it down on tablets

00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:04.480
 or in a book

00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:07.380
 and let the revelation of God

00:20:07.380 --> 00:20:08.819
 be so clear

00:20:08.819 --> 00:20:10.579
 that we form a committee

00:20:10.579 --> 00:20:11.879
 and discuss it.

00:20:16.460 --> 00:20:17.019
 Or,

00:20:17.220 --> 00:20:18.899
 that we write it down,

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:19.960
 it's so clear

00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:21.619
 that we'll

00:20:21.619 --> 00:20:23.279
 spend a year

00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:24.339
 praying about it.

00:20:24.339 --> 00:20:26.619
 Now,

00:20:26.919 --> 00:20:28.399
 please don't misunderstand me,

00:20:28.439 --> 00:20:29.139
 I'm all in favour

00:20:29.139 --> 00:20:30.240
 of praying about it,

00:20:30.639 --> 00:20:32.439
 and I'm all in favour

00:20:32.439 --> 00:20:33.439
 of having committees

00:20:33.439 --> 00:20:34.079
 sometimes.

00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:37.939
 Just in case you're

00:20:37.939 --> 00:20:39.039
 somebody who sits

00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:39.819
 on some committee

00:20:39.819 --> 00:20:40.199
 or other.

00:20:41.379 --> 00:20:41.819
 But,

00:20:41.899 --> 00:20:43.220
 actually,

00:20:43.339 --> 00:20:44.599
 that's not the purpose here.

00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:46.679
 What Habakkuk is saying,

00:20:46.759 --> 00:20:47.960
 or what God is saying

00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:48.759
 to Habakkuk,

00:20:49.399 --> 00:20:49.759
 is,

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:51.299
 it should be so clear

00:20:51.299 --> 00:20:51.759
 that you,

00:20:51.919 --> 00:20:53.759
 you get up and run

00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:54.720
 to obey it.

00:20:56.220 --> 00:20:57.659
 The Lord's revelation.

00:20:58.559 --> 00:20:59.119
 Because,

00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:00.159
 verse 3,

00:21:01.399 --> 00:21:02.799
 the revelation awaits

00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:04.059
 an appointed time.

00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:05.139
 It speaks

00:21:05.139 --> 00:21:06.259
 of God's

00:21:06.259 --> 00:21:07.220
 final purposes,

00:21:07.639 --> 00:21:08.639
 of the end.

00:21:09.199 --> 00:21:10.480
 And it will not

00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:12.199
 prove false.

00:21:13.379 --> 00:21:14.259
 There's an assurance

00:21:14.259 --> 00:21:14.939
 for us.

00:21:15.619 --> 00:21:16.699
 And then I love

00:21:16.699 --> 00:21:17.879
 the end of verse 3.

00:21:18.819 --> 00:21:19.659
 Though it linger,

00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:21.720
 wait for it.

00:21:22.699 --> 00:21:23.639
 I like the old

00:21:23.639 --> 00:21:24.559
 Revised Standard

00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:25.559
 version on that.

00:21:26.199 --> 00:21:27.539
 If it seems slow,

00:21:28.199 --> 00:21:29.259
 wait for it.

00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:31.859
 If it seems slow,

00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:33.199
 wait for it.

00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:34.559
 That's the sort of word

00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:35.640
 you can write

00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:36.700
 on a piece of paper

00:21:36.700 --> 00:21:38.600
 and blue tack it

00:21:38.600 --> 00:21:40.460
 on next to your bed

00:21:40.460 --> 00:21:42.420
 or on your desk

00:21:42.420 --> 00:21:42.980
 or somewhere

00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:43.799
 where you see it.

00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:45.259
 If it seems slow,

00:21:45.660 --> 00:21:46.779
 wait for it.

00:21:47.180 --> 00:21:48.220
 Though it linger,

00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:49.600
 wait for it.

00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:51.460
 You know,

00:21:51.700 --> 00:21:53.019
 we live in an age

00:21:53.019 --> 00:21:53.940
 where we expect

00:21:53.940 --> 00:21:54.880
 everything to happen

00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:55.500
 immediately,

00:21:55.500 --> 00:21:56.140
 don't we?

00:21:56.140 --> 00:21:59.220
 If it doesn't happen

00:21:59.220 --> 00:22:00.460
 by the end of today,

00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:01.660
 then forget it.

00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:04.660
 And God is

00:22:04.660 --> 00:22:08.120
 just appallingly slow.

00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:12.899
 My wife and I

00:22:12.899 --> 00:22:13.479
 had a little

00:22:13.479 --> 00:22:15.379
 smile this morning

00:22:15.379 --> 00:22:18.500
 because

00:22:18.500 --> 00:22:21.479
 she was holding

00:22:21.479 --> 00:22:22.399
 my tie

00:22:22.399 --> 00:22:23.579
 ready for me

00:22:23.579 --> 00:22:24.439
 to put it on.

00:22:25.579 --> 00:22:26.559
 She was

00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:28.099
 patiently waiting.

00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:30.559
 And I was doing

00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:31.919
 all sorts of other things.

00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:33.580
 And there she was

00:22:33.580 --> 00:22:34.560
 with my tie

00:22:34.560 --> 00:22:38.200
 waiting and waiting.

00:22:38.340 --> 00:22:38.640
 And I said,

00:22:38.700 --> 00:22:39.039
 oh well,

00:22:39.300 --> 00:22:40.700
 that's what we married for

00:22:40.700 --> 00:22:41.539
 that you might learn

00:22:41.539 --> 00:22:42.200
 patience.

00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:48.120
 Well,

00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:48.759
 we've been married

00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:50.039
 for 51 years

00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:51.000
 and we're still

00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:51.440
 learning,

00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:52.100
 both of us.

00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:54.640
 But

00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:57.500
 God is just

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:58.600
 terribly slow.

00:22:59.000 --> 00:22:59.680
 Even slower

00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:00.360
 than I am.

00:23:05.140 --> 00:23:05.700
 You know,

00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:06.100
 frankly,

00:23:06.299 --> 00:23:07.220
 if I'd been God,

00:23:07.380 --> 00:23:07.620
 which

00:23:07.620 --> 00:23:09.640
 fortunately I never was,

00:23:10.100 --> 00:23:10.640
 just in case

00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:11.259
 you weren't sure,

00:23:11.259 --> 00:23:14.920
 but if I'd been God,

00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:15.859
 the Messiah,

00:23:16.019 --> 00:23:16.480
 the Savior,

00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:17.160
 would have come

00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:18.259
 a lot earlier.

00:23:18.779 --> 00:23:19.660
 I wouldn't have

00:23:19.660 --> 00:23:20.579
 waited all those

00:23:20.579 --> 00:23:21.700
 hundreds and hundreds

00:23:21.700 --> 00:23:23.059
 and hundreds of years

00:23:23.059 --> 00:23:24.299
 for Jesus to come.

00:23:24.900 --> 00:23:25.339
 I'd have

00:23:25.339 --> 00:23:27.460
 moved history forward

00:23:27.460 --> 00:23:28.599
 much more quickly.

00:23:30.539 --> 00:23:30.759
 Now,

00:23:32.099 --> 00:23:32.480
 you know,

00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:33.379
 you may feel,

00:23:33.539 --> 00:23:33.660
 well,

00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:34.680
 if I'd done that,

00:23:35.259 --> 00:23:36.420
 if I'd had that power,

00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:38.960
 Jesus would have

00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:40.099
 come at the wrong time

00:23:40.099 --> 00:23:40.700
 and the whole thing

00:23:40.700 --> 00:23:41.860
 would have been a disaster.

00:23:43.860 --> 00:23:44.799
 But I'd have

00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:45.559
 moved it on,

00:23:45.620 --> 00:23:46.019
 you know.

00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:48.180
 And I sometimes

00:23:48.180 --> 00:23:49.039
 think of that

00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:50.000
 blank page

00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:51.160
 between the Old Testament

00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:52.380
 and the New Testament,

00:23:52.539 --> 00:23:52.799
 you know,

00:23:52.840 --> 00:23:53.860
 and that blank page

00:23:53.860 --> 00:23:54.940
 represents

00:23:54.940 --> 00:23:56.600
 400 years

00:23:56.600 --> 00:23:57.940
 of divine silence.

00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:01.039
 400 years

00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:02.180
 between Malachi

00:24:02.180 --> 00:24:03.460
 and the coming

00:24:03.460 --> 00:24:03.480
 and the coming

00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:03.500
 and the coming

00:24:03.500 --> 00:24:04.480
 of John the Baptist.

00:24:05.340 --> 00:24:05.799
 You know,

00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:06.759
 no prophets,

00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:08.500
 no scriptures,

00:24:09.380 --> 00:24:10.299
 no new scriptures,

00:24:11.100 --> 00:24:12.560
 no sign

00:24:12.560 --> 00:24:13.220
 of God

00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:14.279
 speaking.

00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:17.340
 400 years

00:24:17.340 --> 00:24:18.720
 of it.

00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:20.440
 just think

00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:21.380
 of 400 years

00:24:21.380 --> 00:24:22.259
 in our history,

00:24:22.460 --> 00:24:22.660
 you know,

00:24:22.740 --> 00:24:23.360
 go back

00:24:23.360 --> 00:24:24.519
 to the year

00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:26.059
 1613.

00:24:26.579 --> 00:24:27.180
 It's an awful

00:24:27.180 --> 00:24:28.279
 long time ago,

00:24:28.360 --> 00:24:28.880
 isn't it?

00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:31.660
 And even I,

00:24:31.779 --> 00:24:32.720
 in my antiquity,

00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:33.600
 I can't remember

00:24:33.600 --> 00:24:34.660
 1613,

00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:35.579
 you know,

00:24:36.220 --> 00:24:36.880
 a bit before

00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:37.920
 my time even.

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:42.579
 400 years,

00:24:42.700 --> 00:24:43.660
 1613

00:24:43.660 --> 00:24:45.180
 to 2013

00:24:45.180 --> 00:24:47.039
 with no sign

00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:47.920
 of God

00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:48.519
 speaking.

00:24:49.539 --> 00:24:50.200
 It's appalling,

00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:50.820
 isn't it?

00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:52.200
 But that's

00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:52.860
 what it is.

00:24:54.100 --> 00:24:54.480
 Actually,

00:24:54.620 --> 00:24:55.180
 there's a

00:24:55.180 --> 00:24:56.400
 Japanese

00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:58.480
 missionary

00:24:58.480 --> 00:24:59.360
 theologian,

00:24:59.900 --> 00:25:00.519
 a guy called

00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:01.160
 Koyama,

00:25:01.460 --> 00:25:02.060
 but don't worry

00:25:02.060 --> 00:25:02.480
 with that.

00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:04.680
 He's written

00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:05.380
 a book called

00:25:05.380 --> 00:25:06.500
 The Three Mile

00:25:06.500 --> 00:25:07.539
 An Hour God.

00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:10.600
 And in it

00:25:10.600 --> 00:25:11.100
 he says,

00:25:11.460 --> 00:25:12.700
 God doesn't

00:25:12.700 --> 00:25:13.580
 go by jet

00:25:13.580 --> 00:25:14.220
 plane,

00:25:14.220 --> 00:25:15.640
 he goes

00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:16.279
 by water

00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:17.180
 buffalo cart.

00:25:19.620 --> 00:25:20.519
 And those

00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:20.920
 of you who

00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:21.339
 know a

00:25:21.339 --> 00:25:22.039
 water buffalo,

00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:23.539
 water buffalo,

00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:24.940
 they go so

00:25:24.940 --> 00:25:26.220
 slowly,

00:25:26.860 --> 00:25:27.759
 one step,

00:25:28.380 --> 00:25:29.299
 another step,

00:25:30.019 --> 00:25:31.059
 very slowly,

00:25:31.700 --> 00:25:32.339
 and even

00:25:32.339 --> 00:25:33.420
 three miles

00:25:33.420 --> 00:25:33.880
 an hour

00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:34.600
 is probably

00:25:34.600 --> 00:25:35.759
 an exaggeration.

00:25:36.500 --> 00:25:37.299
 It's probably

00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:38.200
 only two

00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:39.039
 or two and a

00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:39.620
 half or

00:25:39.620 --> 00:25:40.059
 something.

00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:42.680
 So slow.

00:25:44.220 --> 00:25:45.920
 and

00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:47.620
 you know

00:25:47.620 --> 00:25:48.079
 that in

00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:48.380
 Ireland,

00:25:48.579 --> 00:25:48.960
 don't you?

00:25:49.700 --> 00:25:50.259
 You know

00:25:50.259 --> 00:25:50.779
 your church

00:25:50.779 --> 00:25:51.259
 planting?

00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:54.220
 How long

00:25:54.220 --> 00:25:54.640
 does it

00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:55.640
 take God

00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:56.880
 to plant

00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:57.380
 a church

00:25:57.380 --> 00:25:58.120
 in Kinsale?

00:25:59.779 --> 00:26:00.420
 Months

00:26:00.420 --> 00:26:01.240
 after month

00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:02.180
 after month

00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:02.440
 and

00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:03.860
 gradually

00:26:03.860 --> 00:26:04.539
 you get a

00:26:04.539 --> 00:26:05.299
 little group

00:26:05.299 --> 00:26:06.720
 and then

00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:07.759
 one other

00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:08.559
 person gets

00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:08.960
 added

00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:10.359
 and then

00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:11.059
 six months

00:26:11.059 --> 00:26:11.579
 down the

00:26:11.579 --> 00:26:11.879
 line

00:26:11.879 --> 00:26:12.480
 or a year

00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:13.039
 down the

00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:13.339
 line

00:26:13.339 --> 00:26:14.119
 maybe another

00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:15.000
 person begins

00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:15.700
 to come

00:26:15.700 --> 00:26:17.180
 and then

00:26:17.180 --> 00:26:18.180
 those people

00:26:18.180 --> 00:26:18.879
 you know

00:26:18.879 --> 00:26:19.859
 they start

00:26:19.859 --> 00:26:20.619
 so

00:26:20.619 --> 00:26:22.319
 inadequate

00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:23.359
 in faith

00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:23.740
 and then

00:26:23.740 --> 00:26:24.799
 gradually

00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:25.680
 the Lord

00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:26.220
 by his

00:26:26.220 --> 00:26:26.659
 spirit

00:26:26.659 --> 00:26:27.079
 and his

00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:27.579
 word

00:26:27.579 --> 00:26:28.480
 works in

00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:28.779
 them.

00:26:29.220 --> 00:26:29.720
 It seems

00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:30.200
 to take

00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:30.919
 forever

00:26:30.919 --> 00:26:31.720
 before they're

00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:32.559
 mature and

00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:33.659
 really alive

00:26:33.660 --> 00:26:34.380
 in Christ

00:26:34.380 --> 00:26:34.820
 you know

00:26:34.820 --> 00:26:35.920
 God is

00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:36.180
 just

00:26:36.180 --> 00:26:37.779
 awful

00:26:37.779 --> 00:26:38.340
 really

00:26:38.340 --> 00:26:41.220
 so

00:26:41.220 --> 00:26:42.180
 slow

00:26:42.180 --> 00:26:44.880
 so

00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:45.700
 God

00:26:45.700 --> 00:26:46.460
 says to

00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:47.000
 Habakkuk

00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:47.680
 though it

00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:48.040
 linger

00:26:48.040 --> 00:26:49.100
 wait for

00:26:49.100 --> 00:26:49.320
 it

00:26:49.320 --> 00:26:50.000
 it

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:50.740
 will

00:26:50.740 --> 00:26:51.580
 certainly

00:26:51.580 --> 00:26:52.000
 come

00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:53.900
 and it

00:26:53.900 --> 00:26:54.440
 will not

00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:54.900
 delay

00:26:54.900 --> 00:26:56.400
 God's

00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:56.759
 purpose

00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:57.700
 is actually

00:26:57.700 --> 00:26:58.300
 sure

00:26:58.300 --> 00:27:01.180
 it may

00:27:01.180 --> 00:27:01.720
 be slow

00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:03.700
 it may

00:27:03.700 --> 00:27:04.079
 require

00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:04.680
 patience

00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:06.180
 but it

00:27:06.180 --> 00:27:06.860
 will

00:27:06.860 --> 00:27:07.740
 come to

00:27:07.740 --> 00:27:08.140
 pass

00:27:08.140 --> 00:27:09.940
 God has

00:27:09.940 --> 00:27:10.600
 promised it

00:27:10.600 --> 00:27:11.700
 God has

00:27:11.700 --> 00:27:12.440
 planned it

00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:13.940
 God is

00:27:13.940 --> 00:27:14.600
 doing it

00:27:14.600 --> 00:27:16.039
 and it

00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:16.500
 will

00:27:16.500 --> 00:27:18.680
 be

00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:19.440
 exactly

00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:20.519
 as he

00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:20.700
 has

00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:21.120
 planned

00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:22.019
 it's

00:27:22.019 --> 00:27:22.380
 wonderful

00:27:22.380 --> 00:27:25.819
 it will

00:27:25.819 --> 00:27:26.860
 certainly

00:27:26.860 --> 00:27:28.339
 not

00:27:28.339 --> 00:27:28.860
 possibly

00:27:28.860 --> 00:27:29.579
 but

00:27:29.579 --> 00:27:30.279
 certainly

00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:31.139
 come

00:27:31.139 --> 00:27:32.779
 and it

00:27:32.779 --> 00:27:33.240
 will not

00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:33.639
 delay

00:27:33.639 --> 00:27:34.079
 it will

00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:34.299
 be

00:27:34.299 --> 00:27:35.079
 exactly

00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:35.700
 at the

00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:36.099
 time

00:27:36.099 --> 00:27:37.000
 that the

00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:37.759
 Lord

00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:38.220
 has

00:27:38.220 --> 00:27:38.619
 planned

00:27:38.619 --> 00:27:40.200
 and his

00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:40.799
 timing

00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:42.000
 unlike mine

00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:42.639
 is

00:27:42.639 --> 00:27:43.220
 perfect

00:27:43.220 --> 00:27:44.700
 wonderful

00:27:44.700 --> 00:27:46.119
 to be

00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:46.720
 confident

00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:47.319
 of it

00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:49.460
 well

00:27:49.460 --> 00:27:51.240
 all of

00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:51.539
 that was

00:27:51.539 --> 00:27:52.160
 introduction

00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:55.000
 and let's

00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:55.440
 get to the

00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:55.779
 point

00:27:55.779 --> 00:27:57.480
 what is

00:27:57.480 --> 00:27:57.819
 God

00:27:57.819 --> 00:27:58.539
 actually

00:27:58.539 --> 00:27:59.059
 planning

00:27:59.059 --> 00:28:03.139
 Habakkuk

00:28:03.139 --> 00:28:03.599
 says

00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:05.419
 God is

00:28:05.419 --> 00:28:05.879
 planning

00:28:05.879 --> 00:28:06.679
 a final

00:28:06.679 --> 00:28:07.139
 judgment

00:28:07.139 --> 00:28:08.079
 you may

00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:08.440
 think

00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:08.659
 oh

00:28:08.659 --> 00:28:09.279
 Habakkuk

00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:10.460
 you may

00:28:10.460 --> 00:28:10.980
 think

00:28:10.980 --> 00:28:12.619
 that I

00:28:12.619 --> 00:28:13.139
 shouldn't

00:28:13.139 --> 00:28:13.659
 raise up

00:28:13.659 --> 00:28:14.539
 the Chaldeans

00:28:14.539 --> 00:28:15.220
 and that

00:28:15.220 --> 00:28:15.460
 there's

00:28:15.460 --> 00:28:17.379
 an unholy

00:28:17.379 --> 00:28:18.619
 plan there

00:28:18.619 --> 00:28:19.519
 that this

00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:20.419
 goes against

00:28:20.419 --> 00:28:21.460
 the whole

00:28:21.460 --> 00:28:22.639
 holiness of

00:28:22.639 --> 00:28:22.980
 God

00:28:22.980 --> 00:28:23.759
 and righteousness

00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:24.480
 of God

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:25.059
 that God

00:28:25.059 --> 00:28:25.720
 is raising

00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:26.179
 up this

00:28:26.179 --> 00:28:26.879
 appalling

00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:28.500
 evil people

00:28:28.500 --> 00:28:29.280
 as his

00:28:29.280 --> 00:28:29.880
 instruments

00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:32.580
 but

00:28:32.580 --> 00:28:33.920
 the time

00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:34.460
 will come

00:28:34.460 --> 00:28:35.760
 I planned

00:28:35.760 --> 00:28:35.920
 it

00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:36.540
 God says

00:28:36.540 --> 00:28:37.560
 the time

00:28:37.560 --> 00:28:38.060
 will come

00:28:38.060 --> 00:28:39.780
 when actually

00:28:39.780 --> 00:28:41.240
 the Chaldeans

00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:42.960
 will collapse

00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:44.380
 and they

00:28:44.380 --> 00:28:44.860
 will

00:28:44.860 --> 00:28:46.040
 be judged

00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:50.399
 and in

00:28:50.399 --> 00:28:51.159
 chapter 2

00:28:51.159 --> 00:28:52.079
 verses 5

00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:52.460
 to the

00:28:52.460 --> 00:28:52.859
 end

00:28:52.859 --> 00:28:55.220
 verse 6

00:28:55.220 --> 00:28:55.559
 to the

00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:55.720
 end

00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:56.059
 I beg

00:28:56.059 --> 00:28:56.500
 your pardon

00:28:56.500 --> 00:28:57.819
 verse 6

00:28:57.819 --> 00:28:58.180
 to the

00:28:58.180 --> 00:28:58.539
 end

00:28:58.539 --> 00:28:59.440
 you get

00:28:59.440 --> 00:28:59.720
 this

00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:00.299
 judgment

00:29:00.299 --> 00:29:01.099
 of God

00:29:01.099 --> 00:29:02.720
 not very

00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:03.159
 popular

00:29:03.159 --> 00:29:03.759
 these days

00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:04.180
 to talk

00:29:04.180 --> 00:29:04.440
 about

00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:04.859
 judgment

00:29:04.859 --> 00:29:06.279
 but actually

00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:06.839
 it's really

00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:07.420
 important

00:29:07.420 --> 00:29:08.700
 because it

00:29:08.700 --> 00:29:09.659
 vindicates

00:29:09.659 --> 00:29:10.460
 the righteousness

00:29:10.460 --> 00:29:11.220
 of God

00:29:11.220 --> 00:29:13.259
 and in

00:29:13.259 --> 00:29:13.720
 the world

00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:14.120
 in which

00:29:14.120 --> 00:29:14.740
 we live

00:29:14.740 --> 00:29:15.720
 sin

00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:16.799
 and sinners

00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:18.519
 seem to

00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:19.420
 have all

00:29:19.420 --> 00:29:20.039
 the glory

00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:22.519
 they're the

00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:23.039
 successful

00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:23.640
 ones

00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:24.779
 they're the

00:29:24.779 --> 00:29:25.400
 rich and

00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:26.420
 the powerful

00:29:26.420 --> 00:29:27.620
 and so on

00:29:27.620 --> 00:29:28.100
 you know

00:29:28.100 --> 00:29:29.460
 and you

00:29:29.460 --> 00:29:30.100
 think well

00:29:30.100 --> 00:29:31.660
 what's going

00:29:31.660 --> 00:29:32.339
 on

00:29:32.339 --> 00:29:35.160
 that the

00:29:35.160 --> 00:29:35.980
 sinner's

00:29:35.980 --> 00:29:36.519
 flesh

00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:38.220
 and the

00:29:38.220 --> 00:29:38.720
 righteous

00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:39.460
 go down

00:29:39.460 --> 00:29:40.000
 the drain

00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:44.140
 and that's

00:29:44.140 --> 00:29:45.460
 particularly

00:29:45.460 --> 00:29:46.200
 true of

00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:46.480
 course

00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:47.079
 for people

00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:47.720
 living in

00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:48.359
 persecution

00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:49.539
 situations

00:29:49.539 --> 00:29:51.740
 you know

00:29:51.740 --> 00:29:52.380
 just picture

00:29:52.380 --> 00:29:53.279
 yourself in

00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:53.819
 some of

00:29:53.819 --> 00:29:54.420
 these Muslim

00:29:54.420 --> 00:29:55.140
 countries

00:29:55.140 --> 00:29:57.339
 where there

00:29:57.339 --> 00:29:57.559
 are not

00:29:57.559 --> 00:29:58.039
 very many

00:29:58.039 --> 00:29:58.640
 believers

00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:00.920
 and

00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:04.400
 Christians

00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:05.480
 get terribly

00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:06.240
 persecuted

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:08.700
 some get

00:30:08.700 --> 00:30:09.380
 killed

00:30:09.380 --> 00:30:12.180
 many

00:30:12.180 --> 00:30:12.800
 get thrown

00:30:12.800 --> 00:30:13.240
 out of

00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:13.440
 their

00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:13.960
 families

00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:14.320
 and

00:30:14.320 --> 00:30:14.920
 homes

00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:16.120
 many

00:30:16.120 --> 00:30:16.540
 lose

00:30:16.540 --> 00:30:16.760
 their

00:30:16.760 --> 00:30:17.220
 jobs

00:30:17.220 --> 00:30:17.620
 because

00:30:17.620 --> 00:30:17.880
 they're

00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:18.320
 Christian

00:30:18.320 --> 00:30:19.920
 tremendous

00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:20.820
 persecution

00:30:20.820 --> 00:30:26.880
 what a

00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:28.840
 situation

00:30:28.840 --> 00:30:30.080
 where

00:30:30.080 --> 00:30:31.060
 you begin

00:30:31.060 --> 00:30:31.460
 to think

00:30:31.460 --> 00:30:31.800
 well

00:30:31.800 --> 00:30:32.540
 it's the

00:30:32.540 --> 00:30:33.120
 opposite

00:30:33.120 --> 00:30:34.140
 of prosperity

00:30:34.140 --> 00:30:34.920
 theology

00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:35.500
 you know

00:30:35.500 --> 00:30:36.200
 it's a

00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:37.340
 it's a

00:30:37.340 --> 00:30:37.740
 failure

00:30:37.740 --> 00:30:38.520
 theology

00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:39.720
 a

00:30:39.720 --> 00:30:40.220
 suffering

00:30:40.220 --> 00:30:41.019
 theology

00:30:41.019 --> 00:30:42.339
 but then

00:30:42.339 --> 00:30:42.879
 we follow

00:30:42.879 --> 00:30:43.680
 a suffering

00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:44.440
 saviour

00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:44.819
 don't we

00:30:44.819 --> 00:30:45.480
 a suffering

00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:46.220
 servant

00:30:46.220 --> 00:30:47.740
 amazing

00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:49.519
 just the

00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:49.879
 opposite

00:30:49.879 --> 00:30:50.779
 of prosperity

00:30:50.779 --> 00:30:51.680
 but there

00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:52.559
 will be a

00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:53.220
 vindication

00:30:53.220 --> 00:30:54.539
 where actually

00:30:54.539 --> 00:30:55.779
 the powerful

00:30:55.779 --> 00:30:56.579
 will go down

00:30:56.579 --> 00:30:57.099
 the drain

00:30:57.099 --> 00:30:58.639
 and the

00:30:58.639 --> 00:30:59.240
 people of

00:30:59.240 --> 00:30:59.619
 God

00:30:59.619 --> 00:31:01.400
 will be

00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:02.500
 lifted up

00:31:02.500 --> 00:31:03.079
 and rewarded

00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:06.339
 that's

00:31:06.339 --> 00:31:06.619
 God's

00:31:06.619 --> 00:31:07.079
 promise

00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:10.599
 they seem

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:11.339
 so powerful

00:31:11.339 --> 00:31:12.879
 so successful

00:31:12.879 --> 00:31:13.579
 now

00:31:13.579 --> 00:31:15.019
 with everything

00:31:15.019 --> 00:31:15.699
 going for

00:31:15.699 --> 00:31:15.980
 them

00:31:15.980 --> 00:31:17.799
 but judgment

00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:19.000
 is coming

00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:20.199
 and the

00:31:20.199 --> 00:31:21.619
 righteous rule

00:31:21.619 --> 00:31:22.299
 of God

00:31:22.299 --> 00:31:23.019
 the kingdom

00:31:23.019 --> 00:31:23.659
 of God

00:31:23.659 --> 00:31:25.399
 will finally

00:31:25.399 --> 00:31:26.039
 prevail

00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:27.619
 and so you

00:31:27.619 --> 00:31:28.220
 get in

00:31:28.220 --> 00:31:29.000
 chapter 2

00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:30.059
 a whole

00:31:30.059 --> 00:31:31.039
 series of

00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:31.519
 words of

00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:32.019
 judgment

00:31:32.019 --> 00:31:33.639
 woe to

00:31:33.639 --> 00:31:34.279
 you who

 and I

00:31:39.259 --> 00:31:39.639
 don't want

00:31:39.639 --> 00:31:39.920
 to go

00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:40.460
 through all

00:31:40.460 --> 00:31:41.139
 the woes

00:31:41.139 --> 00:31:42.359
 but you

00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:42.839
 can do it

00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:43.440
 for yourselves

00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:44.059
 in chapter

00:31:44.059 --> 00:31:44.859
 2 verse

00:31:44.859 --> 00:31:45.359

 woe to

00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:47.240
 him who

00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:47.960
 piles up

00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:48.960
 stolen goods

00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:49.359
 etc

00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:51.319
 and in

00:31:52.019 --> 00:31:52.940
 woe to

00:31:52.940 --> 00:31:53.339
 him who

00:31:53.339 --> 00:31:54.200
 builds his

00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:54.920
 realm by

00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:55.500
 unjust

00:31:55.500 --> 00:31:56.099
 gain

00:31:56.099 --> 00:31:57.500
 and sets

00:31:57.500 --> 00:31:58.160
 his nest

00:31:58.160 --> 00:31:58.819
 on high

00:31:58.819 --> 00:31:59.559
 to escape

00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:00.240
 the clutches

 of ruin

 woe to

00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:03.700
 him who

00:32:03.700 --> 00:32:04.440
 builds a

00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:05.000
 city with

00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:05.960
 bloodshed

00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:08.019
 and verse

 gives drink

00:32:11.180 --> 00:32:11.660
 to his

00:32:11.660 --> 00:32:12.319
 neighbors

00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:13.839
 pouring it

00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:14.180
 from the

00:32:14.180 --> 00:32:14.859
 wineskin

00:32:14.859 --> 00:32:15.380
 till they

00:32:15.380 --> 00:32:16.059
 are drunk

00:32:16.059 --> 00:32:16.900
 very modern

00:32:16.900 --> 00:32:17.759
 isn't it

00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:21.039
 and the

00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:21.960
 final one

00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:22.799
 in verse

00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:23.539

00:32:23.539 --> 00:32:24.720
 woe to

00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:25.180
 him who

00:32:25.180 --> 00:32:25.759
 says to

00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:26.240
 wood

00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:27.140
 come to

00:32:27.140 --> 00:32:27.579
 life

00:32:27.579 --> 00:32:28.419
 or to

00:32:28.419 --> 00:32:29.000
 lifeless

00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:29.639
 stone

00:32:29.639 --> 00:32:30.460
 wake up

00:32:30.460 --> 00:32:31.619
 can it

00:32:31.619 --> 00:32:31.839
 give

00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:32.519
 guidance

00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:33.179
 it's

00:32:33.179 --> 00:32:33.500
 covered

00:32:33.500 --> 00:32:33.779
 with

00:32:33.779 --> 00:32:34.240
 gold

00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:34.579
 and

 silver

00:32:34.919 --> 00:32:35.220
 it

00:32:35.220 --> 00:32:35.539
 looks

00:32:35.539 --> 00:32:36.079
 wonderful

00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:38.339
 but actually

00:32:38.339 --> 00:32:39.079
 there's no

00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:39.639
 breath

00:32:39.639 --> 00:32:40.299
 in it

00:32:40.299 --> 00:32:41.619
 what a

00:32:41.619 --> 00:32:42.059
 contrast

00:32:42.059 --> 00:32:42.799
 with verse

00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:43.359
 20

00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:44.220
 but the

00:32:44.220 --> 00:32:44.919
 Lord

00:32:44.919 --> 00:32:46.740
 but

00:32:46.740 --> 00:32:47.859
 the

00:32:47.859 --> 00:32:48.500
 Lord

00:32:48.500 --> 00:32:49.639
 lovely

00:32:49.639 --> 00:32:50.119
 words

00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:51.599
 but the

00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:51.899
 Lord

00:32:51.899 --> 00:32:52.699
 the contrast

00:32:52.700 --> 00:32:53.640
 is in

00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:54.279
 his holy

00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:54.759
 temple

00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:55.960
 let all

00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:56.480

00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:57.140
 be silent

00:32:57.140 --> 00:32:57.900
 before him

00:32:57.900 --> 00:32:59.000
 because he

00:32:59.000 --> 00:32:59.440
 is the

00:32:59.440 --> 00:32:59.860
 sovereign

00:32:59.860 --> 00:33:00.440
 Lord

00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:01.980
 in control

00:33:01.980 --> 00:33:02.680
 of everything

00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:03.860
 well in the

00:33:03.860 --> 00:33:04.500
 midst of all

00:33:04.500 --> 00:33:05.180
 that judgment

00:33:05.180 --> 00:33:06.500
 we get the

00:33:06.500 --> 00:33:07.740
 very well

00:33:07.740 --> 00:33:08.160
 known

00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:08.920
 amazing

00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:10.240
 positive

00:33:11.600 --> 00:33:12.140
 14

00:33:12.140 --> 00:33:13.700
 the earth

00:33:13.700 --> 00:33:14.700
 will be

00:33:14.700 --> 00:33:15.279
 filled

00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:16.880
 with the

00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:17.660
 knowledge of

00:33:17.660 --> 00:33:18.580
 the glory

00:33:18.580 --> 00:33:19.039
 of the

00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:19.539

00:33:21.700 --> 00:33:22.000
 sea

00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:22.900
 and that's

00:33:22.900 --> 00:33:23.279
 what we're

00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:23.619
 working

00:33:23.619 --> 00:33:24.140
 towards

00:33:24.140 --> 00:33:24.519
 that's

00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:25.660
 why you're

00:33:25.660 --> 00:33:26.240
 planting a

00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:26.740
 church in

00:33:26.740 --> 00:33:27.339

00:33:32.819 --> 00:33:33.759
 that the

 earth

00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:35.380
 may be

00:33:35.380 --> 00:33:35.940
 filled

00:33:35.940 --> 00:33:37.319
 and it's a

00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:37.660
 promise

00:33:37.660 --> 00:33:38.200
 the earth

00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:38.700
 not only

00:33:38.700 --> 00:33:39.140
 may be

00:33:39.140 --> 00:33:39.440
 filled

00:33:47.339 --> 00:33:47.559
 really

00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:48.140
 complete

00:33:58.119 --> 00:33:58.519
 Luther

00:33:58.519 --> 00:33:59.799
 in the

00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:00.359
 Reformation

00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:01.700
 added to

00:34:01.700 --> 00:34:02.139
 scripture

00:34:02.139 --> 00:34:03.920
 in order

00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:04.799

00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:05.099
 it

00:34:05.099 --> 00:34:07.079
 and

00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:08.119
 scripture

00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:09.340
 talks about

00:34:09.340 --> 00:34:10.340
 being justified

00:34:10.340 --> 00:34:11.539
 by faith

00:34:11.539 --> 00:34:13.099
 and

00:34:13.099 --> 00:34:13.440
 Luther

00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:14.340
 added the

00:34:14.340 --> 00:34:14.759
 word

00:34:14.759 --> 00:34:15.559
 by faith

00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:16.500
 alone

00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:17.920
 now of

00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:18.340
 course if

00:34:18.340 --> 00:34:18.519
 you're

00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:19.039
 really going

00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:19.400
 to be

00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:20.119
 biblically

00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:22.219
 acceptable

00:34:22.219 --> 00:34:23.000
 you have

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:23.260
 to do

00:34:23.260 --> 00:34:23.599
 it in

00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:23.980
 Latin

00:34:23.980 --> 00:34:26.440
 so

00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:27.519
 not just

00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:28.320
 fide

00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:29.159
 by faith

00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:29.860
 but

00:34:29.860 --> 00:34:30.980
 sola fide

00:34:30.980 --> 00:34:32.300
 by faith

00:34:32.300 --> 00:34:33.260
 alone

00:34:33.260 --> 00:34:34.739
 yes

00:34:34.739 --> 00:34:36.059
 well if

00:34:36.059 --> 00:34:36.619
 Luther can

00:34:36.619 --> 00:34:37.000
 add to

00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:37.360
 scripture

00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:37.820
 so can

00:34:37.820 --> 00:34:38.139
 I

00:34:38.139 --> 00:34:40.619
 and so

00:34:40.619 --> 00:34:40.900
 I'm

00:34:40.900 --> 00:34:41.500
 wanting to

00:34:41.500 --> 00:34:41.980
 add

00:34:41.980 --> 00:34:42.820
 not just

00:34:42.820 --> 00:34:43.320
 the earth

00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:44.240
 but to

00:34:44.240 --> 00:34:44.840
 underline

00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:45.120
 it

00:34:45.120 --> 00:34:46.240
 and explain

00:34:46.240 --> 00:34:46.580
 it

00:34:46.580 --> 00:34:46.840
 and

00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:47.800
 emphasize

00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:48.380
 it

00:34:48.380 --> 00:34:49.480
 the

00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:50.380
 whole

00:34:52.900 --> 00:34:53.240
 Latin

00:34:53.240 --> 00:34:53.660
 so it

00:34:53.660 --> 00:34:54.360
 really is

00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:55.380
 theologically

00:34:55.380 --> 00:34:56.059
 acceptable

00:34:56.059 --> 00:34:56.700

00:37:09.600 --> 00:37:10.100
 word

00:37:10.100 --> 00:37:10.940
 it's a word

00:37:10.940 --> 00:37:11.500
 actually

00:37:11.500 --> 00:37:12.220

00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:19.420
 and

00:39:19.420 --> 00:39:21.059
 we need

00:39:21.059 --> 00:39:22.940
 in our

00:39:22.940 --> 00:39:23.280
 little

00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:23.940
 context

00:39:23.940 --> 00:39:24.760
 in Europe

00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:26.780
 where the

00:39:26.780 --> 00:39:27.320
 church is

00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:28.019
 still

00:39:28.019 --> 00:39:29.119
 terribly

00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:29.740
 small

00:39:29.739 --> 00:39:31.939
 the number

00:39:31.939 --> 00:39:32.599
 of believers

00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:33.339
 is still

00:39:33.339 --> 00:39:34.019
 a small

00:39:34.019 --> 00:39:34.699
 minority

00:39:34.699 --> 00:39:37.359
 we need

00:39:37.359 --> 00:39:38.159
 to lift

00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:38.599
 up our

00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:39.079
 eyes

00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:39.959
 and keep

00:39:39.959 --> 00:39:40.839
 that vision

00:39:40.839 --> 00:39:41.579
 before us

00:39:41.579 --> 00:39:42.199
 of the

00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:43.739
 multitudes

00:39:43.739 --> 00:39:46.500
 the whole

00:39:46.500 --> 00:39:47.000
 earth

00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:47.799
 being

00:39:47.799 --> 00:39:48.859
 filled

00:39:48.859 --> 00:39:53.059
 so that

00:39:53.059 --> 00:39:53.419
 we're not

00:39:53.419 --> 00:39:53.979
 content

00:39:53.979 --> 00:39:55.639
 anymore

00:39:55.639 --> 00:39:57.099
 with the

00:39:57.099 --> 00:39:57.479
 little bit

00:39:57.479 --> 00:39:57.899
 here and

00:39:57.899 --> 00:39:58.239
 the little

00:39:58.239 --> 00:39:58.739
 bit there

00:39:58.739 --> 00:39:59.159
 but we're

00:39:59.159 --> 00:39:59.839
 looking for

00:39:59.839 --> 00:40:00.000
 the

00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:00.819
 multitudes

00:40:00.819 --> 00:40:01.759
 praying

00:40:01.759 --> 00:40:02.359
 for the

00:40:02.359 --> 00:40:03.139
 multitudes

00:40:03.139 --> 00:40:05.259
 I

00:40:05.259 --> 00:40:06.179
 encourage you

00:40:06.179 --> 00:40:06.619
 with that

00:40:06.619 --> 00:40:07.019
 Indian

00:40:07.019 --> 00:40:07.579
 scene

00:40:07.579 --> 00:40:08.019
 you know

00:40:08.019 --> 00:40:08.980
 the tiny

00:40:08.980 --> 00:40:09.440
 little

00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:10.539
 beginning

00:40:10.539 --> 00:40:13.159
 and that's

00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:13.699
 the picture

00:40:13.699 --> 00:40:14.279
 of God's

00:40:14.279 --> 00:40:14.719
 kingdom

00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:15.539
 in the

00:40:15.539 --> 00:40:15.739
 new

00:40:15.739 --> 00:40:16.119
 testament

00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:16.699
 isn't it

00:40:16.699 --> 00:40:17.059
 Jesus

00:40:17.059 --> 00:40:17.859
 teaching on

00:40:17.859 --> 00:40:18.339
 the kingdom

00:40:18.339 --> 00:40:18.940
 of God

00:40:18.940 --> 00:40:19.659
 that it

00:40:19.659 --> 00:40:20.139
 starts

00:40:20.139 --> 00:40:20.940
 small

00:40:20.940 --> 00:40:22.440
 you know

00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:23.259
 a tiny

00:40:23.259 --> 00:40:23.859
 little bit

00:40:23.860 --> 00:40:24.460
 of leaven

00:40:24.460 --> 00:40:26.079
 but it

00:40:26.079 --> 00:40:27.620
 it grows

00:40:27.620 --> 00:40:28.720
 like leaven

00:40:28.720 --> 00:40:29.240
 does

00:40:29.240 --> 00:40:29.940
 and it

00:40:29.940 --> 00:40:30.500
 leavens

00:40:30.500 --> 00:40:31.140
 the whole

00:40:31.140 --> 00:40:31.640
 lump

00:40:31.640 --> 00:40:34.720
 and the

00:40:34.720 --> 00:40:35.680
 big tree

00:40:35.680 --> 00:40:36.120
 of the

00:40:36.120 --> 00:40:36.460
 kingdom

00:40:36.460 --> 00:40:37.660
 with all

00:40:37.660 --> 00:40:38.720
 the birds

00:40:38.720 --> 00:40:39.660
 of the air

00:40:39.660 --> 00:40:40.500
 the nations

00:40:40.500 --> 00:40:41.500
 of the world

00:40:41.500 --> 00:40:43.400
 finding their

00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:44.300
 shade under

00:40:44.300 --> 00:40:45.019
 the branches

00:40:45.019 --> 00:40:46.180
 the great

00:40:46.180 --> 00:40:47.460
 kingdom tree

00:40:47.460 --> 00:40:48.440
 but it

00:40:48.440 --> 00:40:49.460
 starts as a

00:40:49.460 --> 00:40:50.159
 tiny little

00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:50.800
 seed

00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:51.980
 and that

00:40:51.980 --> 00:40:52.740
 tiny little

00:40:52.740 --> 00:40:53.579
 seed grows

00:40:53.579 --> 00:40:54.340
 and grows

00:40:54.340 --> 00:40:55.300
 and grows

00:40:55.300 --> 00:40:56.360
 until it

00:40:56.360 --> 00:40:56.900
 becomes a

00:40:56.900 --> 00:40:57.539
 great tree

00:40:57.539 --> 00:40:59.840
 the kingdom

00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:00.400
 of God

00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:01.400
 starts small

00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:02.860
 well of course

00:41:02.860 --> 00:41:03.260
 that's the

00:41:03.260 --> 00:41:03.820
 picture of the

00:41:03.820 --> 00:41:04.579
 Christian life

00:41:04.579 --> 00:41:05.139
 isn't it

00:41:05.139 --> 00:41:06.380
 new birth

00:41:06.380 --> 00:41:08.500
 and most

00:41:08.500 --> 00:41:08.820
 of us

00:41:08.820 --> 00:41:09.260
 when we're

00:41:09.260 --> 00:41:09.660
 born

00:41:09.660 --> 00:41:11.039
 are relatively

00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:11.599
 small

00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:14.039
 I don't know

00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:14.420
 were you

00:41:14.420 --> 00:41:15.000
 born

00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:16.039
 as a

00:41:16.039 --> 00:41:16.559
 great big

00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:16.960
 adult

00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:17.599
 six feet

00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:18.000
 tall

00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:19.539
 I don't

00:41:19.539 --> 00:41:20.000
 think so

00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:20.640
 poor mother

00:41:20.640 --> 00:41:24.000
 but

00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:25.059
 no

00:41:25.059 --> 00:41:26.000
 we're born

00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:26.619
 small

00:41:26.619 --> 00:41:27.500
 and then we

00:41:27.500 --> 00:41:28.019
 grow

00:41:28.019 --> 00:41:28.840
 and grow

00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:29.400
 and we

00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:29.900
 develop

00:41:29.900 --> 00:41:31.780
 until we're

00:41:31.780 --> 00:41:32.579
 full size

00:41:32.579 --> 00:41:34.039
 some of us

00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:34.640
 grow beyond

00:41:34.640 --> 00:41:35.039
 that

00:41:35.039 --> 00:41:36.719
 and get

00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:37.219
 obese

00:41:37.219 --> 00:41:39.579
 but

00:41:39.579 --> 00:41:40.500
 no

00:41:40.500 --> 00:41:43.340
 that growth

00:41:43.340 --> 00:41:44.219
 and we're

00:41:44.219 --> 00:41:45.099
 looking for

00:41:45.099 --> 00:41:45.420
 it

00:41:45.420 --> 00:41:47.119
 now of course

00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:47.480
 having

00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:48.920
 lived and

00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:49.539
 worked in

00:41:49.539 --> 00:41:49.880
 Asia

00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:51.779
 and in

00:41:51.779 --> 00:41:52.300
 the great

00:41:52.300 --> 00:41:53.440
 churches

00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:54.059
 there

00:41:54.059 --> 00:41:56.599
 and seen

00:41:56.599 --> 00:41:57.759
 the multitudes

00:41:57.759 --> 00:41:58.480
 turning to

00:41:58.480 --> 00:41:59.139
 the Lord

00:41:59.139 --> 00:42:02.119
 it's easier

00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:02.579
 for us

00:42:02.579 --> 00:42:03.059
 because we've

00:42:03.059 --> 00:42:03.519
 seen it

00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:05.440
 in different

00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:06.000
 places

00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:08.000
 but let's

00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:08.719
 look for it

00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:09.579
 here in

00:42:09.579 --> 00:42:09.960
 Ireland

00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:11.199
 let's look

00:42:11.199 --> 00:42:11.960
 for it all

00:42:11.960 --> 00:42:12.460
 over the

00:42:12.460 --> 00:42:12.920
 world

00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:13.739
 that the

00:42:13.739 --> 00:42:14.579
 multitudes

00:42:14.579 --> 00:42:14.940
 of the

00:42:14.940 --> 00:42:15.599
 whole earth

00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:15.980
 may be

00:42:15.980 --> 00:42:16.639
 filled

00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:17.599
 with the

00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:18.400
 knowledge

00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:18.759
 of the

00:42:18.759 --> 00:42:19.139
 glory

00:42:19.139 --> 00:42:19.559
 of the

00:42:19.559 --> 00:42:19.900
 Lord

00:42:19.900 --> 00:42:21.539
 to know

00:42:21.539 --> 00:42:22.340
 the glory

00:42:22.340 --> 00:42:23.940
 and

00:42:23.940 --> 00:42:25.179
 knowing

00:42:25.179 --> 00:42:26.259
 in the

00:42:26.259 --> 00:42:26.539
 Hebrew

00:42:26.539 --> 00:42:27.079
 has the

00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:27.659
 idea

00:42:27.659 --> 00:42:28.639
 not just

00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:28.980
 of an

00:42:28.980 --> 00:42:29.579
 intellectual

00:42:29.579 --> 00:42:30.199
 knowledge

00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:30.419
 and

00:42:30.419 --> 00:42:31.159
 understanding

00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:32.099
 but it's

00:42:32.099 --> 00:42:32.739
 a total

00:42:32.739 --> 00:42:33.679
 relationship

00:42:33.679 --> 00:42:36.219
 we would

00:42:36.219 --> 00:42:36.779
 say in

00:42:36.779 --> 00:42:37.119
 English

00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:37.500
 of the

00:42:37.500 --> 00:42:37.859
 head

00:42:37.859 --> 00:42:38.500
 and the

00:42:38.500 --> 00:42:38.980
 heart

00:42:38.980 --> 00:42:39.879
 in every

00:42:39.879 --> 00:42:40.599
 part of

00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:40.839
 us

00:42:40.839 --> 00:42:41.799
 relating

00:42:41.799 --> 00:42:42.500
 to the

00:42:42.500 --> 00:42:42.980
 glory

00:42:42.980 --> 00:42:43.379
 of the

00:42:43.379 --> 00:42:43.679
 Lord

00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:44.279
 it's

00:42:44.279 --> 00:42:44.599
 actually

00:42:44.599 --> 00:42:45.219
 the word

00:42:45.219 --> 00:42:45.639
 excuse

00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:46.119
 me

00:42:46.119 --> 00:42:46.679
 but it's

00:42:46.679 --> 00:42:47.039
 the word

00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:47.299
 that's

00:42:47.299 --> 00:42:47.759
 used

00:42:47.759 --> 00:42:48.379
 for

00:42:48.379 --> 00:42:49.419
 sexual

00:42:49.419 --> 00:42:50.259
 relationship

00:42:50.259 --> 00:42:51.299
 a man

00:42:51.299 --> 00:42:52.139
 knows

00:42:52.139 --> 00:42:52.819
 his wife

00:42:52.819 --> 00:42:54.239
 there's not

00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:54.759
 just something

00:42:54.759 --> 00:42:55.759
 intellectual there

00:42:55.759 --> 00:42:56.359
 is it

00:42:56.359 --> 00:42:57.739
 there's something

00:42:57.739 --> 00:42:58.199
 a little bit

00:42:58.199 --> 00:42:58.659
 more than

00:42:58.659 --> 00:42:58.939
 that

00:42:58.939 --> 00:42:59.759
 it's a

00:42:59.759 --> 00:43:00.919
 relationship

00:43:00.919 --> 00:43:01.399
 of the

00:43:01.399 --> 00:43:02.179
 totality

00:43:02.179 --> 00:43:02.599
 of your

00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:03.059
 being

00:43:03.059 --> 00:43:04.639
 the whole

00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:05.099
 of you

00:43:05.099 --> 00:43:06.079
 the emotional

00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:07.079
 the physical

00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:08.379
 the spiritual

00:43:08.379 --> 00:43:09.739
 everything else

00:43:09.739 --> 00:43:10.539
 that we are

00:43:10.539 --> 00:43:12.599
 relates

00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:13.159
 together

00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:14.959
 yeah

00:43:14.959 --> 00:43:16.939
 well now

00:43:16.939 --> 00:43:17.319
 of course

00:43:17.319 --> 00:43:18.659
 the knowledge

00:43:18.659 --> 00:43:19.359
 of the glory

00:43:19.359 --> 00:43:19.959
 of the Lord

00:43:19.959 --> 00:43:20.619
 is not some

00:43:20.619 --> 00:43:21.519
 sexual thing

00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:23.559
 but it's

00:43:23.559 --> 00:43:24.659
 the totality

00:43:24.659 --> 00:43:25.519
 of our being

00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:27.059
 in every

00:43:27.059 --> 00:43:27.480
 way

00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:28.159
 knowing

00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:30.019
 the glory

00:43:30.019 --> 00:43:30.480
 of the

00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:30.820
 Lord

00:43:30.820 --> 00:43:31.840
 wonderful

00:43:31.840 --> 00:43:33.000
 the glory

00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:33.440
 of the

00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:33.759
 Lord

00:43:33.759 --> 00:43:34.320
 knowing

00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:35.179
 the glory

00:43:35.179 --> 00:43:36.219
 experiencing

00:43:36.219 --> 00:43:37.059
 the glory

00:43:37.059 --> 00:43:37.920
 relating

00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:38.500
 to the

00:43:38.500 --> 00:43:39.019
 glory

00:43:39.019 --> 00:43:39.440
 of the

00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:39.779
 Lord

00:43:39.779 --> 00:43:40.920
 not some

00:43:40.920 --> 00:43:41.699
 old fashioned

00:43:41.699 --> 00:43:42.279
 God

00:43:42.279 --> 00:43:43.360
 not some

00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:44.840
 irrelevant

00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:45.539
 weak

00:43:45.539 --> 00:43:46.259
 God

00:43:46.259 --> 00:43:47.559
 but the

00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:48.340
 glory

00:43:48.340 --> 00:43:49.820
 of the

00:43:49.820 --> 00:43:50.099
 Lord

00:43:50.099 --> 00:43:50.759
 and of course

00:43:50.759 --> 00:43:51.480
 we immediately

00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:52.360
 ask well

00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:56.519
 as followers

00:43:56.519 --> 00:43:57.039
 of the

00:43:57.039 --> 00:43:57.480
 Lord

00:43:57.480 --> 00:43:58.579
 as the

00:43:58.579 --> 00:43:59.240
 ambassadors

00:43:59.240 --> 00:43:59.860
 of the

00:43:59.860 --> 00:44:00.240
 Lord

00:44:00.240 --> 00:44:02.120
 what sort

00:44:02.120 --> 00:44:02.940
 of Lord

00:44:02.940 --> 00:44:04.019
 are we

00:44:04.019 --> 00:44:04.599
 taking

00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:05.660
 to the

00:44:05.660 --> 00:44:06.120
 people of

00:44:06.120 --> 00:44:06.519
 Ireland

00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:07.559
 or as we

00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:08.340
 go overseas

00:44:08.340 --> 00:44:08.940
 to the

00:44:08.940 --> 00:44:09.420
 people

00:44:09.420 --> 00:44:10.079
 elsewhere

00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:10.860
 what sort

00:44:10.860 --> 00:44:11.200
 of Lord

00:44:11.200 --> 00:44:11.500
 are we

00:44:11.500 --> 00:44:11.940
 taking

00:44:11.940 --> 00:44:13.300
 because

00:44:13.300 --> 00:44:14.680
 we do

00:44:14.680 --> 00:44:15.300
 take the

00:44:15.300 --> 00:44:15.559
 Lord

00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:16.180
 wherever we

00:44:16.180 --> 00:44:16.539
 go

00:44:16.539 --> 00:44:17.120
 whether we

00:44:17.120 --> 00:44:17.480
 like it

00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:17.980
 or not

00:44:17.980 --> 00:44:19.219
 and whether

00:44:19.219 --> 00:44:19.780
 other people

00:44:19.780 --> 00:44:20.219
 like it

00:44:20.219 --> 00:44:20.539
 or not

00:44:20.539 --> 00:44:20.880
 the only

00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:21.240
 question

00:44:21.240 --> 00:44:21.740
 is what

00:44:21.740 --> 00:44:22.079
 sort

00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:22.440
 of Lord

00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:22.780
 are you

00:44:22.780 --> 00:44:23.179
 taking

00:44:23.179 --> 00:44:27.079
 you know

00:44:27.079 --> 00:44:28.119
 Christopher

00:44:28.119 --> 00:44:28.740
 Columbus

00:44:28.740 --> 00:44:29.260
 is not

00:44:29.260 --> 00:44:29.760
 one of my

00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:30.219
 favourite

00:44:30.219 --> 00:44:30.659
 church

00:44:30.659 --> 00:44:31.039
 heroes

00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:33.400
 but

00:44:33.400 --> 00:44:33.860
 Christopher

00:44:33.860 --> 00:44:34.400
 Columbus

00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:35.019
 wrote

00:44:35.019 --> 00:44:36.380
 a journal

00:44:36.380 --> 00:44:37.760
 most of

00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:38.260
 it sadly

00:44:38.260 --> 00:44:38.679
 has been

00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:39.019
 lost

00:44:39.019 --> 00:44:39.440
 or maybe

00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:40.059
 fortunately

00:44:40.059 --> 00:44:40.460
 I don't

00:44:40.460 --> 00:44:40.679
 know

00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:43.400
 but in

00:44:43.400 --> 00:44:44.099
 the remnants

00:44:44.099 --> 00:44:45.340
 of his

00:44:45.340 --> 00:44:45.780
 journal

00:44:45.780 --> 00:44:46.800
 there's one

00:44:46.800 --> 00:44:47.380
 passage

00:44:47.380 --> 00:44:48.400
 where he

00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:49.260
 glories

00:44:49.260 --> 00:44:49.800
 in

00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:51.640
 the fact

00:44:51.640 --> 00:44:52.220
 that he

00:44:52.220 --> 00:44:53.079
 is crossing

00:44:53.079 --> 00:44:54.119
 the oceans

00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:56.300
 taking

00:44:56.300 --> 00:44:58.440
 Christ

00:44:58.440 --> 00:44:59.440
 wherever

00:44:59.440 --> 00:45:00.360
 he goes

00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:02.440
 and he

00:45:02.440 --> 00:45:03.039
 rejoices

00:45:03.039 --> 00:45:03.720
 in his

00:45:03.720 --> 00:45:04.240
 name

00:45:04.240 --> 00:45:05.500
 Christopher

00:45:05.500 --> 00:45:07.820
 and those

00:45:07.820 --> 00:45:08.119
 of you

00:45:08.119 --> 00:45:08.800
 who remember

00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:09.400
 your Latin

00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:09.880
 which of

00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:10.079
 course

00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:10.559
 used to

00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:11.200
 be fluent

00:45:11.200 --> 00:45:13.940
 in the

00:45:13.940 --> 00:45:14.380
 good old

00:45:14.380 --> 00:45:14.760
 days

00:45:14.760 --> 00:45:16.400
 but

00:45:16.400 --> 00:45:17.579
 Christopher

00:45:17.579 --> 00:45:18.519
 the one

00:45:18.519 --> 00:45:19.480
 who bears

00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:20.000
 Christ

00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:20.900
 who carries

00:45:20.900 --> 00:45:21.539
 Christ

00:45:21.539 --> 00:45:23.240
 you know

00:45:23.240 --> 00:45:25.059
 all of us

00:45:25.059 --> 00:45:25.960
 are Christophers

00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:27.579
 actually all of us

00:45:27.579 --> 00:45:28.099
 are saints

00:45:28.099 --> 00:45:28.680
 as well

00:45:28.680 --> 00:45:30.180
 so all of us

00:45:30.180 --> 00:45:30.519
 are little

00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:30.780
 St.

00:45:30.860 --> 00:45:31.460
 Christopher's

00:45:31.460 --> 00:45:31.780
 isn't that

00:45:31.780 --> 00:45:32.180
 nice

00:45:32.179 --> 00:45:34.940
 so when you

00:45:34.940 --> 00:45:35.399
 come to

00:45:35.399 --> 00:45:36.500
 the fellowship

00:45:36.500 --> 00:45:37.139
 here next

00:45:37.139 --> 00:45:37.460
 Sunday

00:45:37.460 --> 00:45:38.759
 you can

00:45:38.759 --> 00:45:39.879
 say to

00:45:39.879 --> 00:45:40.339
 each other

00:45:40.339 --> 00:45:41.019
 good morning

00:45:41.019 --> 00:45:41.299
 St.

00:45:41.359 --> 00:45:41.739
 Christopher

00:45:41.739 --> 00:45:44.399
 so that'll

00:45:44.399 --> 00:45:44.739
 give you

00:45:44.739 --> 00:45:45.379
 safety on

00:45:45.379 --> 00:45:46.099
 your journeys

00:45:46.099 --> 00:45:52.500
 but leave

00:45:52.500 --> 00:45:53.159
 that aside

00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:56.719
 we are

00:45:56.719 --> 00:45:57.599
 Christophers

00:45:57.599 --> 00:45:59.579
 now

00:45:59.579 --> 00:46:00.139
 when you

00:46:00.139 --> 00:46:00.559
 come to

00:46:00.559 --> 00:46:00.980
 Christopher

00:46:00.980 --> 00:46:01.500
 Columbus

00:46:01.500 --> 00:46:02.219
 you say

00:46:02.219 --> 00:46:02.440
 well

00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:03.139
 what sort

00:46:03.139 --> 00:46:03.559
 of Christ

00:46:03.559 --> 00:46:03.899
 did he

00:46:03.899 --> 00:46:04.259
 actually

00:46:04.259 --> 00:46:04.839
 take to

00:46:04.839 --> 00:46:05.019
 the

00:46:05.019 --> 00:46:05.460
 Americas

00:46:05.460 --> 00:46:08.539
 was it

00:46:08.539 --> 00:46:08.960
 a good

00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:09.779
 representation

00:46:09.779 --> 00:46:10.679
 of Christ

00:46:10.679 --> 00:46:11.699
 well I

00:46:11.699 --> 00:46:12.099
 don't want

00:46:12.099 --> 00:46:12.659
 to discuss

00:46:12.659 --> 00:46:13.139
 Columbus

00:46:13.139 --> 00:46:13.579
 that's not

00:46:13.579 --> 00:46:14.159
 my point

00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:15.440
 but for

00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:16.079
 us too

00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:17.179
 what sort

00:46:17.179 --> 00:46:17.859
 of picture

00:46:17.859 --> 00:46:18.619
 of Christ

00:46:18.619 --> 00:46:19.079
 what sort

00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:19.579
 of Christ

00:46:19.579 --> 00:46:19.960
 are we

00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:20.639
 conveying

00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:21.019
 to the

00:46:21.019 --> 00:46:21.420
 world

00:46:21.420 --> 00:46:23.400
 yeah

00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:25.379
 because

00:46:25.379 --> 00:46:26.079
 all of us

00:46:26.079 --> 00:46:26.799
 are

00:46:26.799 --> 00:46:28.480
 Christophers

00:46:28.480 --> 00:46:30.159
 bearers

00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:30.799
 of Christ

00:46:30.799 --> 00:46:35.279
 good ones

00:46:35.279 --> 00:46:36.579
 bad ones

00:46:36.579 --> 00:46:37.359
 old

00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:41.619
 holy

00:46:41.619 --> 00:46:42.179
 ones

00:46:42.179 --> 00:46:43.000
 unholy

00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:43.500
 ones

00:46:43.500 --> 00:46:44.079
 attractive

00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:44.679
 ones

00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:45.619
 unattractive

00:46:45.619 --> 00:46:46.099
 ones

00:46:46.099 --> 00:46:46.519
 but

00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:47.480
 there we

00:46:47.480 --> 00:46:47.699
 are

00:46:47.699 --> 00:46:51.059
 the glory

00:46:51.059 --> 00:46:52.179
 that's what

00:46:52.179 --> 00:46:52.480
 we're to

00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:52.779
 bring

00:46:52.779 --> 00:46:53.799
 the absolute

00:46:53.799 --> 00:46:54.699

00:47:09.259 --> 00:47:11.119
 that's what

00:47:11.119 --> 00:47:11.719
 we carry

00:47:11.719 --> 00:47:14.559
 the whole

00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:15.019
 earth

00:47:15.019 --> 00:47:15.899
 will be

00:47:15.899 --> 00:47:16.619
 filled

00:47:16.619 --> 00:47:18.219
 with the

00:47:18.219 --> 00:47:19.159
 knowledge

00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:20.699
 of the

00:47:22.299 --> 00:47:23.000
 Lord

00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:25.739
 not of us

00:47:25.739 --> 00:47:26.419
 not of our

00:47:26.419 --> 00:47:26.959
 church

00:47:26.959 --> 00:47:27.579
 not of our

00:47:27.579 --> 00:47:28.199
 type of

00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:28.779
 Christianity

00:47:28.779 --> 00:47:30.359
 not of

00:47:30.359 --> 00:47:31.439
 anything else

00:47:31.439 --> 00:47:33.739
 but the

00:47:33.739 --> 00:47:34.279
 glory

00:47:34.279 --> 00:47:35.480
 of the

00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:36.299
 Lord

00:47:36.299 --> 00:47:37.439
 the Lord

00:47:37.439 --> 00:47:37.980

00:47:37.980 --> 00:47:41.179
 well

00:47:41.179 --> 00:47:42.099
 citizens

00:47:42.099 --> 00:47:42.659

00:47:42.659 --> 00:47:44.779
 that's

00:47:44.779 --> 00:47:45.299
 the promise

00:47:45.299 --> 00:47:45.940
 of God

00:47:45.940 --> 00:47:47.899
 that's

00:47:47.899 --> 00:47:48.779
 what is

00:47:48.779 --> 00:47:49.440
 going to

00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:50.159
 take place

00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:51.219
 the earth

00:47:51.219 --> 00:47:52.219
 will

00:47:52.219 --> 00:47:53.219
 no doubt

00:47:53.219 --> 00:47:53.859
 about it

00:47:53.859 --> 00:47:55.199
 will be

00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:55.940
 filled

00:47:55.940 --> 00:47:57.859
 with the

00:47:57.859 --> 00:47:58.299
 knowledge

00:47:58.299 --> 00:47:59.699
 of the

00:47:59.699 --> 00:48:00.339
 glory

00:48:00.339 --> 00:48:02.440
 of the

00:48:02.440 --> 00:48:03.000
 Lord

00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:03.819
 as the

00:48:03.819 --> 00:48:04.319
 waters

00:48:04.319 --> 00:48:05.019
 cover the

00:48:05.019 --> 00:48:05.379
 sea

00:48:05.379 --> 00:48:06.679
 totality

00:48:06.679 --> 00:48:07.199
 of it

00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:09.359
 let's

00:48:09.359 --> 00:48:09.799
 work for

00:48:09.799 --> 00:48:09.940
 it

00:48:09.940 --> 00:48:10.480
 let's

00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:11.079
 pray for

00:48:11.079 --> 00:48:11.320
 it

00:48:11.320 --> 00:48:12.700
 let's

00:48:12.700 --> 00:48:13.420
 expect

00:48:13.420 --> 00:48:13.760
 it

00:48:13.760 --> 00:48:15.360
 and

00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:15.679
 pray

00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:16.159
 God

00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:17.400
 that

00:48:17.400 --> 00:48:18.200
 increasingly

00:48:18.200 --> 00:48:20.000
 we may

00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:20.619
 experience

00:48:20.619 --> 00:48:21.220
 it

00:48:21.220 --> 00:48:23.659
 and so

00:48:23.659 --> 00:48:24.019
 may the

00:48:24.019 --> 00:48:24.360
 Lord

 and pray

00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:29.920
