00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.639
 Well, please be turning in your Bibles to Ezra.

00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:08.359
! I'm just going to make some adjustments here.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:59.980
 Thank you.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.039
 It will be available for you on the table afterwards.

00:01:03.659 --> 00:01:06.700
 I encourage you to read it just to get a bit of a background

00:01:06.700 --> 00:01:13.260
 and to understand the flow of the message of Ezra and Nehemiah.

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:18.000
 So do take your copy, one per family, afterwards.

00:01:19.140 --> 00:01:22.280
 Now, just before we read the first chapter,

00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:26.780
 Ezra comes where it does in the Bible.

00:01:26.780 --> 00:01:30.320
 But just so you know, and I think this is helpful for us,

00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.879
 that chronologically speaking, as we move through time,

00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:40.219
 Ezra and Nehemiah really come at the end of the Old Testament

00:01:40.219 --> 00:01:43.719
 in terms of history and God's dealing with his people.

00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:51.159
 So it takes us up to the exile when God's people are taken into exile

00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:52.620
 and they're returned.

00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:59.640
 So Ezra and Nehemiah is all about the return of God's people back to the land.

00:02:00.180 --> 00:02:03.620
 So that just sets us in the right place.

00:02:03.620 --> 00:02:08.780
 Let's read Ezra chapter 1, verses 1 to 11.

00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.960
 In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia,

00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:21.599
 in order to fulfill the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah,

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:27.000
 the Lord moved the heart of Cyrus, king of Persia,

00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.879
 to make a proclamation throughout his realm

00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.560
 and also to put it in writing.

00:02:34.659 --> 00:02:37.600
 This is what Cyrus, king of Persia, says.

00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:44.400
 The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:50.539
 and he has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah.

00:02:51.539 --> 00:02:55.539
 Any of his people among you may go up to Jerusalem in Judah

00:02:55.539 --> 00:02:59.879
 and build the temple of the Lord, the God of Israel,

00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:02.199
 the God who is in Jerusalem,

00:03:03.139 --> 00:03:05.359
 and may their God be with them.

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:10.400
 And in any locality where survivors may now be living,

00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:14.100
 the people are to provide them with silver and gold,

00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:16.880
 with goods and livestock,

00:03:17.720 --> 00:03:21.420
 and with freewill offerings for the temple of God in Jerusalem.

00:03:22.940 --> 00:03:26.200
 Then the family heads of Judah and Benjamin

00:03:26.200 --> 00:03:28.780
 and the priests and Levites,

00:03:29.640 --> 00:03:32.300
 everyone whose heart God had moved,

00:03:32.300 --> 00:03:37.560
 prepared to go up and build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem.

00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:40.800
 All their neighbours assisted them

00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.200
 with articles of silver and gold,

00:03:44.860 --> 00:03:46.340
 with goods and livestock,

00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:48.800
 and with valuable gifts,

00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.400
 in addition to all the freewill offerings.

00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:57.620
 Moreover, King Cyrus brought out the articles

00:03:57.620 --> 00:04:00.000
 belonging to the temple of the Lord,

00:04:00.580 --> 00:04:03.920
 which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem

00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:06.740
 and had placed in the temple of his God.

00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:09.280
 Cyrus, king of Persia,

00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:12.040
 had them brought by Mithridus,

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:13.219
 the treasurer,

00:04:13.740 --> 00:04:15.900
 who counted them out to Sheshbazar,

00:04:16.460 --> 00:04:17.660
 the prince of Judah.

00:04:17.660 --> 00:04:20.280
 This was the inventory.

00:04:21.200 --> 00:04:22.820
 Gold dishes, 30.

00:04:23.460 --> 00:04:25.480
 Silver dishes, 1,000.

00:04:26.140 --> 00:04:28.180
 Silver pans, 29.

00:04:29.100 --> 00:04:31.320
 Golden bowls, 30.

00:04:32.180 --> 00:04:34.760
 Matching silver bowls, 410.

00:04:35.700 --> 00:04:37.800
 And other articles, 1,000.

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:39.280
 In all,

00:04:39.960 --> 00:04:44.160
 there were 5,400 articles of gold

00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:45.660
 and of silver.

00:04:45.660 --> 00:04:48.800
 Sheshbazar brought all these

00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:50.380
 along with the exiles

00:04:50.380 --> 00:04:52.860
 when they came up from Babylon

00:04:52.860 --> 00:04:54.800
 to Jerusalem.

00:04:56.939 --> 00:04:58.780
 Let's pray.

00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.900
 By your word,

00:05:07.340 --> 00:05:12.060
 you brought the world into existence.

00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:14.639
 And by your word,

00:05:14.780 --> 00:05:16.720
 you sustain the world

00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:20.079
 and provide us with all that we have.

00:05:21.339 --> 00:05:22.680
 And we ask

00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:24.819
 that by your word today,

00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.699
 it would speak into our hearts and lives

00:05:28.699 --> 00:05:30.920
 and change us

00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:34.060
 and cause us to depend upon you

00:05:34.060 --> 00:05:36.220
 and worship you.

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:38.500
 In Jesus' name.

00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:39.840
 Amen.

00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:39.899
 Amen.

00:05:42.060 --> 00:05:47.420
 Well, looking out on our world,

00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:49.439
 it's difficult to see

00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:50.800
 who is in charge.

00:05:51.339 --> 00:05:53.680
 The great superpowers of the world

00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.399
 seem to do as they please,

00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:58.980
 blowing and blustering

00:05:58.980 --> 00:06:00.699
 about their next move.

00:06:01.699 --> 00:06:04.000
 Russia threatens military invasion.

00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.500
 Europe seeks economic sanctions.

00:06:07.500 --> 00:06:10.379
 America demands political change.

00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:13.160
 Trump says

00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:14.699
 a united Ireland

00:06:14.699 --> 00:06:16.000
 is on the way.

00:06:17.339 --> 00:06:17.839
 Meanwhile,

00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:19.160
 China and Iran

00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:20.420
 sit back plotting

00:06:20.420 --> 00:06:22.360
 and planning their next steps.

00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:24.579
 And that's not to mention

00:06:24.579 --> 00:06:25.240
 AI

00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:27.279
 and the thought that

00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.319
 AI could wipe out humanity

00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:30.800
 within 10 years.

00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:33.959
 Listen to the news today

00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:36.719
 and you come away thinking

00:06:36.719 --> 00:06:38.299
 the world

00:06:38.299 --> 00:06:40.459
 is in chaos.

00:06:41.239 --> 00:06:43.060
 Is there anyone

00:06:43.060 --> 00:06:44.859
 in charge?

00:06:46.699 --> 00:06:48.159
 Well, take a look with me

00:06:48.159 --> 00:06:48.979
 at verse 1.

00:06:49.939 --> 00:06:51.959
 It's a time of great

00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:53.199
 change.

00:06:53.699 --> 00:06:55.359
 It's the first year of

00:06:55.359 --> 00:06:56.120
 Cyrus,

00:06:56.339 --> 00:06:57.819
 king of Persia.

00:06:57.819 --> 00:06:59.980
 So the balance of power

00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:01.159
 has been shifted

00:07:01.159 --> 00:07:03.599
 from the Babylonian empire

00:07:03.599 --> 00:07:06.019
 to the Persian empire.

00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:07.879
 Nebuchadnezzar,

00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:09.980
 who ruled with an iron fist,

00:07:10.300 --> 00:07:12.060
 has been obliterated

00:07:12.060 --> 00:07:13.159
 by Cyrus,

00:07:13.719 --> 00:07:15.480
 the new superpower king.

00:07:16.699 --> 00:07:18.819
 But despite this change

00:07:18.819 --> 00:07:19.620
 in power,

00:07:20.719 --> 00:07:21.899
 Ezra writes

00:07:21.899 --> 00:07:23.899
 to remind us

00:07:23.899 --> 00:07:25.519
 that God

00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:26.799
 is ultimately

00:07:26.799 --> 00:07:28.519
 in charge.

00:07:29.419 --> 00:07:30.399
 We can summarize

00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:31.479
 the message

00:07:31.479 --> 00:07:33.079
 like this.

00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:36.639
 Behind the superpowers

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:37.819
 of the world,

00:07:38.919 --> 00:07:40.419
 God is sovereignly

00:07:40.419 --> 00:07:41.219
 directing

00:07:41.219 --> 00:07:42.120
 the history

00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:42.959
 of the world

00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.199
 and all its events

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.279
 until they reach

00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:48.639
 his desired

00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.579
 and appointed end.

00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:53.000
 That's a bit of a mouthful,

00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:54.060
 but it's important,

00:07:54.259 --> 00:07:55.220
 so we'll read it again.

00:07:55.860 --> 00:07:58.000
 Behind the superpowers

00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:58.899
 of the world,

00:07:59.860 --> 00:08:01.459
 God is sovereignly

00:08:01.459 --> 00:08:02.220
 directing

00:08:02.220 --> 00:08:03.120
 the history

00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:03.980
 of the world

00:08:03.980 --> 00:08:06.379
 and all of its events

00:08:06.379 --> 00:08:08.319
 until they reach

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.779
 his desired

00:08:10.779 --> 00:08:12.699
 and appointed end.

00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.459
 In other words,

00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:16.740
 God plans

00:08:16.740 --> 00:08:18.459
 and his purposes

00:08:18.459 --> 00:08:21.339
 always prevail.

00:08:21.339 --> 00:08:23.719
 Think of a musical

00:08:23.719 --> 00:08:24.479
 conductor

00:08:24.479 --> 00:08:25.979
 and his orchestra.

00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:27.159
 With a tip

00:08:27.159 --> 00:08:28.099
 of his baton,

00:08:28.579 --> 00:08:29.419
 the strings

00:08:29.419 --> 00:08:30.560
 are silenced

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:32.059
 and the trumpets

00:08:32.059 --> 00:08:32.740
 blast.

00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:34.399
 At his direction,

00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:35.740
 the whole symphony

00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:37.179
 moves to its

00:08:37.179 --> 00:08:38.659
 glorious crescendo.

00:08:40.339 --> 00:08:41.959
 Or think of a weaver

00:08:41.959 --> 00:08:43.759
 controlling the loom.

00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:45.360
 She pulls

00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:46.220
 all the colours

00:08:46.220 --> 00:08:47.139
 one by one,

00:08:47.539 --> 00:08:48.159
 introducing

00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:49.659
 different strades

00:08:49.659 --> 00:08:51.219
 and strands.

00:08:52.500 --> 00:08:53.699
 And at her direction,

00:08:54.219 --> 00:08:55.139
 the tapestry

00:08:55.139 --> 00:08:56.419
 takes shape,

00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:57.659
 moving towards

00:08:58.219 --> 00:08:59.240
 its final

00:08:59.240 --> 00:08:59.659
 design.

00:09:01.959 --> 00:09:02.299
 Well,

00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:03.079
 God

00:09:03.079 --> 00:09:05.019
 is the conductor

00:09:05.019 --> 00:09:07.100
 of this world.

00:09:08.059 --> 00:09:08.659
 He directs

00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:10.199
 the nations

00:09:10.199 --> 00:09:11.659
 to accomplish

00:09:11.659 --> 00:09:13.659
 his plans.

00:09:14.620 --> 00:09:16.259
 God is the weaver

00:09:16.259 --> 00:09:17.740
 of this world's

00:09:17.740 --> 00:09:18.299
 tapestry.

00:09:18.299 --> 00:09:19.459
 He controls

00:09:19.459 --> 00:09:21.559
 every event

00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.159
 to fulfil

00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:24.179
 his promise.

00:09:25.779 --> 00:09:26.839
 God's purposes

00:09:26.839 --> 00:09:28.399
 always

00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:29.459
 prevail.

00:09:30.899 --> 00:09:31.319
 And we're

00:09:31.319 --> 00:09:31.919
 going to see

00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:33.339
 three ways

00:09:33.339 --> 00:09:34.279
 in which this

00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:35.719
 is worked out

00:09:35.719 --> 00:09:37.019
 in practice.

00:09:37.819 --> 00:09:38.859
 Here's the

00:09:38.859 --> 00:09:39.500
 first one.

00:09:41.079 --> 00:09:42.099
 God works

00:09:42.099 --> 00:09:44.539
 for the good

00:09:44.539 --> 00:09:45.620
 of his

00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:46.399
 people.

00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:47.840
 God works

00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:48.379
 for the good

00:09:48.379 --> 00:09:48.679
 of his

00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:49.059
 people.

00:09:49.459 --> 00:09:49.919
 Let's go

00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:50.299
 to verse

00:09:50.299 --> 00:09:50.879
 one again.

00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:52.039
 In the first

00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:53.279
 year of Cyrus

00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:54.379
 king of Persia,

00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:56.240
 in order to

00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:57.079
 fulfil the

00:09:57.079 --> 00:09:57.899
 word of the

00:09:57.899 --> 00:09:58.799
 Lord spoken

00:09:58.799 --> 00:09:59.879
 by Jeremiah,

00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:01.819
 well,

00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:02.480
 let's take a

00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:03.139
 pause there.

00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:04.819
 What had

00:10:04.819 --> 00:10:05.980
 God spoken

00:10:05.980 --> 00:10:07.179
 through

00:10:07.179 --> 00:10:07.860
 Jeremiah?

00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:09.759
 Well,

00:10:09.860 --> 00:10:10.240
 keep your

00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:10.960
 finger in

00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:12.360
 Ezra and

00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:13.199
 jump forward

00:10:13.199 --> 00:10:14.079
 to Jeremiah

00:10:14.079 --> 00:10:15.379
 chapter 25.

00:10:15.379 --> 00:10:18.299
 Now,

00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:18.759
 although we're

00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:19.620
 moving forward,

00:10:19.820 --> 00:10:20.279
 remember,

00:10:21.220 --> 00:10:22.360
 Jeremiah comes

00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:23.340
 before

00:10:23.340 --> 00:10:24.799
 Ezra and

00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:25.500
 Nehemiah

00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:26.840
 in terms of

00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:27.379
 history.

00:10:28.820 --> 00:10:29.419
 So,

00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:30.000
 Jeremiah

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:31.340
 chapter 25.

00:10:31.340 --> 00:10:38.420
 here we

00:10:38.420 --> 00:10:39.519
 are reminded

00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:40.300
 of what the

00:10:40.300 --> 00:10:40.980
 Lord had

00:10:40.980 --> 00:10:42.200
 spoken by

00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:43.519
 Jeremiah.

00:10:44.780 --> 00:10:45.740
 It's about

00:10:45.740 --> 00:10:47.399
 50 years

00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:48.300
 before

00:10:48.300 --> 00:10:49.560
 Ezra's

00:10:49.560 --> 00:10:49.980
 time.

00:10:51.500 --> 00:10:52.440
 And God

00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:53.040
 is speaking

00:10:53.040 --> 00:10:53.460
 to his

00:10:53.460 --> 00:10:54.120
 people about

00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:54.560
 what will

00:10:54.560 --> 00:10:54.879
 happen.

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:55.400
 Let's pick

00:10:55.400 --> 00:10:55.820
 it up in

00:10:55.820 --> 00:10:56.420
 verse 8.

00:10:56.419 --> 00:11:00.099
 Therefore,

00:11:00.299 --> 00:11:00.719
 the Lord

00:11:00.719 --> 00:11:01.219
 Almighty

00:11:01.219 --> 00:11:01.919
 says,

00:11:02.719 --> 00:11:03.679
 Because you,

00:11:03.860 --> 00:11:04.179
 that is

00:11:04.179 --> 00:11:04.679
 God's

00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:05.079
 people,

00:11:05.199 --> 00:11:05.839
 have not

00:11:05.839 --> 00:11:06.939
 listened to

00:11:06.939 --> 00:11:07.919
 my words,

00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:09.259
 I will

00:11:09.259 --> 00:11:10.319
 summon all

00:11:10.319 --> 00:11:10.919
 the peoples

00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:11.319
 of the

00:11:11.319 --> 00:11:11.679
 north,

00:11:12.099 --> 00:11:12.599
 and my

00:11:12.599 --> 00:11:13.079
 servant

00:11:13.079 --> 00:11:14.079
 Nebuchadnezzar,

00:11:14.179 --> 00:11:14.559
 king of

00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:14.939
 Babylon,

00:11:15.139 --> 00:11:15.519
 declares

00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:16.079
 the Lord,

00:11:16.079 --> 00:11:17.120
 and I will

00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:17.759
 bring them

00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:18.519
 against this

00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:19.620
 land and

00:11:19.620 --> 00:11:20.519
 its inhabitants

00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:21.759
 and against

00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:22.659
 all the

00:11:22.659 --> 00:11:23.139
 surrounding

00:11:23.139 --> 00:11:23.959
 nations.

00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:25.400
 verse 11.

00:11:26.100 --> 00:11:26.660
 The whole

00:11:26.660 --> 00:11:28.100
 country will

00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:28.780
 become a

00:11:28.780 --> 00:11:29.259
 desolate

00:11:29.259 --> 00:11:30.080
 wasteland,

00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:31.540
 and these

00:11:31.540 --> 00:11:33.060
 nations will

00:11:33.060 --> 00:11:33.680
 serve the

00:11:33.680 --> 00:11:34.139
 king of

00:11:34.139 --> 00:11:35.660
 Babylon for

00:11:35.660 --> 00:11:37.900
 70 years.

00:11:39.160 --> 00:11:39.820
 And that's

00:11:39.820 --> 00:11:40.860
 what happened.

00:11:41.340 --> 00:11:42.379
 The Babylonians

00:11:42.379 --> 00:11:43.200
 came under the

00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:43.639
 rule of

00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:44.480
 Nebuchadnezzar,

00:11:44.740 --> 00:11:45.560
 and they took

00:11:45.560 --> 00:11:46.720
 God's people

00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:48.220
 into exile

00:11:48.220 --> 00:11:49.800
 for 70

00:11:49.800 --> 00:11:50.800
 years away

00:11:50.800 --> 00:11:51.300
 from their

00:11:51.300 --> 00:11:51.660
 home.

00:11:51.659 --> 00:11:53.699
 But that's

00:11:53.699 --> 00:11:54.199
 not all

00:11:54.199 --> 00:11:54.759
 God had

00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:55.259
 to say.

00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:56.899
 Jump

00:11:56.899 --> 00:11:57.679
 forward to

00:11:57.679 --> 00:11:58.120
 Jeremiah

00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.620
 chapter 29

00:11:59.620 --> 00:12:03.679
 and verse

00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:04.159
 10.

00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:09.480
 So

00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:09.860
 Jeremiah

00:12:09.860 --> 00:12:10.419
 said,

00:12:10.539 --> 00:12:10.659
 you're

00:12:10.659 --> 00:12:11.120
 going to

00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:12.019
 go into

00:12:12.019 --> 00:12:12.779
 exile for

00:12:12.779 --> 00:12:13.779
 70 years,

00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:15.480
 but there's

00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:16.299
 something more.

00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:17.879
 Verse 10,

00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:18.539
 this is what

00:12:18.539 --> 00:12:18.939
 the Lord

00:12:18.939 --> 00:12:19.399
 said,

00:12:19.860 --> 00:12:20.379
 when the

00:12:20.379 --> 00:12:21.539
 70 years

00:12:21.539 --> 00:12:22.320
 are completed

00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:23.039
 for Babylon,

00:12:23.419 --> 00:12:24.200
 I will

00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:24.799
 come to

00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:25.799
 you and

00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:26.720
 fulfill my

00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:27.580
 good promise

00:12:27.580 --> 00:12:28.159
 to bring

00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:28.939
 you back

00:12:28.939 --> 00:12:29.500
 to this

00:12:29.500 --> 00:12:30.080
 place.

00:12:31.179 --> 00:12:31.600
 For I

00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:31.980
 know the

00:12:31.980 --> 00:12:32.700
 plans I

00:12:32.700 --> 00:12:33.179
 have for

00:12:33.179 --> 00:12:33.399
 you,

00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:33.879
 declares

00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:34.500
 the Lord,

00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:35.700
 plans to

00:12:35.700 --> 00:12:36.439
 prosper you

00:12:36.439 --> 00:12:36.840
 and not

00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:37.299
 to harm

00:12:37.299 --> 00:12:37.539
 you,

00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:38.659
 plans to

00:12:38.659 --> 00:12:39.039
 give you

00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:40.419
 hope and

00:12:40.419 --> 00:12:41.100
 a future.

00:12:42.539 --> 00:12:43.379
 Now down

00:12:43.379 --> 00:12:43.759
 to the

00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:44.120
 end of

00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:44.980
 verse 14.

00:12:44.980 --> 00:12:47.080
 I will

00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:47.820
 gather you

00:12:47.820 --> 00:12:48.620
 from all

00:12:48.620 --> 00:12:49.340
 the nations

00:12:49.340 --> 00:12:49.740
 and the

00:12:49.740 --> 00:12:50.480
 places where

00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:50.840
 I have

00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:51.460
 banished you,

00:12:51.580 --> 00:12:52.200
 declares the

00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:52.500
 Lord,

00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:53.759
 and will

00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:54.560
 bring you

00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:55.320
 back to

00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:56.120
 the place

00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:57.600
 from which

00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:58.300
 I carried

00:12:58.300 --> 00:12:59.820
 you into

00:12:59.820 --> 00:13:00.539
 exile.

00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:03.300
 Back to

00:13:03.300 --> 00:13:03.720
 Ezra.

00:13:04.860 --> 00:13:05.879
 So Ezra

00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:06.860
 begins with

00:13:06.860 --> 00:13:07.879
 God's people

00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:09.180
 in exile,

00:13:09.659 --> 00:13:10.539
 but now

00:13:10.539 --> 00:13:11.480
 the 70

00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:12.259
 years

00:13:12.259 --> 00:13:13.460
 are up.

00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:14.379
 The

00:13:14.379 --> 00:13:15.399
 Babylonians

00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:16.080
 have gone

00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:17.460
 and Cyrus

00:13:17.460 --> 00:13:18.559
 and Persia

00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:19.679
 are the

00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:20.019
 ruling

00:13:20.019 --> 00:13:20.620
 power.

00:13:21.299 --> 00:13:21.799
 So how

00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:22.539
 is God

00:13:22.539 --> 00:13:23.120
 going to

00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:23.840
 fulfill his

00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:25.120
 promise to

00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:25.519
 bring his

00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:26.279
 people back

00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:27.220
 from exile

00:13:27.220 --> 00:13:28.259
 back to

00:13:28.259 --> 00:13:28.980
 their homeland?

00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:30.580
 Well,

00:13:30.659 --> 00:13:31.220
 God would

00:13:31.220 --> 00:13:32.519
 do two

00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:33.220
 things.

00:13:34.439 --> 00:13:35.200
 First,

00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:37.200
 the Lord

00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.100
 moves the

00:13:39.100 --> 00:13:39.720
 heart of

00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:40.200
 the king.

00:13:41.100 --> 00:13:41.679
 The Lord

00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:42.159
 moves.

00:13:42.259 --> 00:13:42.600
 The heart

00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:42.899
 of the

00:13:42.899 --> 00:13:43.139
 king.

00:13:43.460 --> 00:13:43.799
 Verse

00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:44.139
 one.

00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:45.279
 In the

00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:45.899
 first year

00:13:45.899 --> 00:13:46.539
 of Cyrus,

00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:47.120
 king of

00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:47.539
 Persia,

00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:48.720
 in order

00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:49.720
 to fulfill

00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:50.639
 the word

00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:51.039
 of the

00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:52.019
 Lord spoken

00:13:52.019 --> 00:13:53.080
 by Jeremiah,

00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:54.480
 the Lord

00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:55.620
 moved the

00:13:55.620 --> 00:13:56.159
 heart of

00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:56.580
 Cyrus,

00:13:56.779 --> 00:13:57.139
 king of

00:13:57.139 --> 00:13:57.580
 Persia,

00:13:57.779 --> 00:13:58.480
 to make

00:13:58.480 --> 00:13:59.240
 a proclamation

00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:00.439
 throughout his

00:14:00.439 --> 00:14:01.460
 realm and

00:14:01.460 --> 00:14:02.299
 also to put

00:14:02.299 --> 00:14:02.639
 it in

00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:03.080
 writing.

00:14:04.139 --> 00:14:04.500
 And what

00:14:04.500 --> 00:14:04.919
 was that

00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:05.600
 proclamation?

00:14:05.860 --> 00:14:06.080
 Verse

00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:06.480
 three.

00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:07.819
 That any

00:14:07.819 --> 00:14:08.559
 of God's

00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:09.340
 people among

00:14:09.340 --> 00:14:10.819
 you may

00:14:10.820 --> 00:14:12.000
 go up

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:13.620
 to Jerusalem.

00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:14.700
 They can

00:14:14.700 --> 00:14:15.600
 return home.

00:14:16.900 --> 00:14:18.500
 Cyrus may

00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:19.020
 be the

00:14:19.020 --> 00:14:19.320
 new

00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:20.180
 superpower,

00:14:21.180 --> 00:14:21.960
 but in

00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:22.860
 the world,

00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:24.540
 he is

00:14:24.540 --> 00:14:25.280
 God's

00:14:25.280 --> 00:14:26.320
 servant.

00:14:27.580 --> 00:14:28.080
 Look what

00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:29.480
 Cyrus says

00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:30.800
 about himself.

00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:31.740
 Verse

00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:32.080
 two.

00:14:32.900 --> 00:14:33.560
 This is what

00:14:33.560 --> 00:14:34.100
 Cyrus,

00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:34.560
 king of

00:14:34.560 --> 00:14:34.920
 Persia,

00:14:34.980 --> 00:14:35.340
 says.

00:14:35.340 --> 00:14:36.620
 The Lord,

00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:38.200
 the God

00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:38.899
 of heaven,

00:14:39.680 --> 00:14:40.379
 has given

00:14:40.379 --> 00:14:41.940
 me all

00:14:41.940 --> 00:14:42.460
 the kingdoms

00:14:42.460 --> 00:14:42.920
 of the

00:14:42.920 --> 00:14:43.300
 earth.

00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:44.759
 And he,

00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:46.120
 that is God,

00:14:46.220 --> 00:14:46.920
 has appointed

00:14:46.920 --> 00:14:48.360
 me to

00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:48.820
 build a

00:14:48.820 --> 00:14:50.019
 temple for

00:14:50.019 --> 00:14:50.360
 him.

00:14:51.100 --> 00:14:52.080
 Whatever his

00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:53.180
 beliefs in

00:14:53.180 --> 00:14:54.160
 God, it

00:14:54.160 --> 00:14:55.180
 seems Cyrus

00:14:55.180 --> 00:14:56.519
 knows that

00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:57.580
 he is there

00:14:57.580 --> 00:14:58.780
 by God's

00:14:58.780 --> 00:14:59.259
 design.

00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:00.160
 And he only

00:15:00.160 --> 00:15:00.900
 has what he

00:15:00.900 --> 00:15:01.740
 has because

00:15:01.740 --> 00:15:03.379
 God has

00:15:03.379 --> 00:15:04.100
 given it to

00:15:04.100 --> 00:15:04.399
 him.

00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:05.899
 You see,

00:15:06.180 --> 00:15:07.259
 long before

00:15:07.259 --> 00:15:08.320
 Cyrus came

00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:08.960
 to power,

00:15:09.700 --> 00:15:10.759
 even before

00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:11.759
 Cyrus was

00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:12.279
 born,

00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:13.820
 God had

00:15:13.820 --> 00:15:14.360
 set his

00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:15.740
 plan in

00:15:15.740 --> 00:15:16.180
 motion.

00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:18.200
 Listen to

00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:19.560
 what another

00:15:19.560 --> 00:15:20.600
 prophet Isaiah

00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:21.200
 says.

00:15:22.379 --> 00:15:22.920
 Now take

00:15:22.920 --> 00:15:23.340
 this,

00:15:23.779 --> 00:15:24.540
 Isaiah is

00:15:24.540 --> 00:15:25.340
 speaking about

00:15:25.340 --> 00:15:27.019
 150 years

00:15:27.019 --> 00:15:29.500
 before Cyrus

00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:30.420
 is born.

00:15:30.419 --> 00:15:31.459
 and this

00:15:31.459 --> 00:15:31.979
 is what

00:15:31.979 --> 00:15:33.079
 the Lord

00:15:33.079 --> 00:15:34.099
 says.

00:15:35.659 --> 00:15:36.419
 This is

00:15:36.419 --> 00:15:36.839
 what the

00:15:36.839 --> 00:15:37.639
 Lord says.

00:15:38.139 --> 00:15:38.759
 I am

00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:39.459
 the Lord,

00:15:39.779 --> 00:15:40.479
 the maker

00:15:40.479 --> 00:15:41.019
 of all

00:15:41.019 --> 00:15:41.679
 things,

00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:43.179
 who says

00:15:43.179 --> 00:15:44.120
 of Cyrus,

00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:46.240
 he is my

00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.139
 shepherd and

00:15:48.139 --> 00:15:49.199
 will accomplish

00:15:49.199 --> 00:15:51.019
 all that I

00:15:51.019 --> 00:15:51.860
 please.

00:15:52.500 --> 00:15:53.059
 He will

00:15:53.059 --> 00:15:53.559
 say of

00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:54.139
 Jerusalem,

00:15:54.419 --> 00:15:55.219
 let it be

00:15:55.219 --> 00:15:55.719
 rebuilt,

00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:57.259
 and of the

00:15:57.259 --> 00:15:57.740
 temple,

00:15:58.099 --> 00:15:58.639
 let its

00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:00.939
 foundations be

00:16:00.939 --> 00:16:01.439
 laid.

00:16:02.939 --> 00:16:04.080
 Isn't that

00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:05.179
 amazing?

00:16:06.179 --> 00:16:08.019
 150 years

00:16:08.019 --> 00:16:09.679
 before Cyrus

00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:10.340
 came to be,

00:16:10.439 --> 00:16:11.199
 before he was

00:16:11.199 --> 00:16:12.019
 even named,

00:16:12.419 --> 00:16:13.199
 God had

00:16:13.199 --> 00:16:13.659
 said,

00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:15.580
 Cyrus is

00:16:15.580 --> 00:16:15.939
 going to

00:16:15.939 --> 00:16:16.279
 come,

00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:17.639
 and he

00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:18.539
 will accomplish

00:16:18.539 --> 00:16:20.159
 all that I

00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:20.779
 please.

00:16:21.539 --> 00:16:22.039
 You see,

00:16:22.199 --> 00:16:22.980
 Cyrus is

00:16:22.980 --> 00:16:23.460
 God's

00:16:23.460 --> 00:16:24.080
 instrument

00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:25.340
 to fulfill

00:16:25.340 --> 00:16:25.899
 God's

00:16:25.899 --> 00:16:26.420
 purposes.

00:16:27.100 --> 00:16:27.580
 God had

00:16:27.580 --> 00:16:28.320
 promised that

00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:28.639
 he would

00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:29.379
 rescue his

00:16:29.379 --> 00:16:29.980
 people from

00:16:29.980 --> 00:16:30.460
 exile,

00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:31.460
 and nothing

00:16:31.460 --> 00:16:32.300
 is going

00:16:32.300 --> 00:16:33.019
 to stop

00:16:33.019 --> 00:16:33.300
 him.

00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:34.740
 In order

00:16:34.740 --> 00:16:35.560
 to fulfill

00:16:35.560 --> 00:16:36.120
 the word

00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:36.440
 of the

00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:37.240
 Lord spoken

00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:38.180
 by Jeremiah,

00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:39.440
 the Lord

00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.139
 moved the

00:16:41.139 --> 00:16:42.860
 heart of

00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:43.600
 King Cyrus.

00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:46.780
 But not

00:16:46.780 --> 00:16:47.280
 only does

00:16:47.280 --> 00:16:47.700
 the Lord

00:16:47.700 --> 00:16:48.200
 move the

00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:48.639
 heart of

00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:49.620
 King Cyrus,

00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:51.660
 the Lord

00:16:51.660 --> 00:16:53.400
 moves the

00:16:53.400 --> 00:16:53.920
 heart of

00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:54.479
 the people.

00:16:55.779 --> 00:16:56.740
 King Cyrus

00:16:56.740 --> 00:16:57.360
 gave the

00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:57.879
 command,

00:16:58.059 --> 00:16:58.679
 verse 3,

00:16:59.579 --> 00:17:00.219
 any of his

00:17:00.219 --> 00:17:00.899
 people among

00:17:00.899 --> 00:17:01.759
 you may go

00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:02.139
 up to

00:17:02.139 --> 00:17:02.959
 Jerusalem in

00:17:02.959 --> 00:17:03.899
 Judah and

00:17:03.899 --> 00:17:04.759
 build the

00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:05.399
 temple of

00:17:05.399 --> 00:17:06.059
 the Lord,

00:17:06.399 --> 00:17:07.099
 the God

00:17:07.099 --> 00:17:08.220
 of Israel.

00:17:09.139 --> 00:17:09.639
 Now that

00:17:09.639 --> 00:17:10.180
 may seem

00:17:10.180 --> 00:17:10.980
 good news.

00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:12.200
 Cyrus is

00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:12.819
 telling us

00:17:12.819 --> 00:17:13.859
 we can go

00:17:13.859 --> 00:17:14.299
 home.

00:17:15.940 --> 00:17:16.619
 After

00:17:16.619 --> 00:17:18.099
 70 years,

00:17:18.659 --> 00:17:19.379
 we get

00:17:19.379 --> 00:17:19.879
 to go

00:17:19.879 --> 00:17:20.460
 back.

00:17:22.460 --> 00:17:23.259
 But remember

00:17:23.259 --> 00:17:23.900
 a whole

00:17:23.900 --> 00:17:24.720
 generation

00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:25.640
 has died.

00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:27.099
 70 years

00:17:27.099 --> 00:17:27.720
 is a long

00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:28.140
 time.

00:17:28.619 --> 00:17:29.279
 Not many

00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:29.599
 of the

00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:30.160
 people in

00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:30.680
 captivity

00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:31.700
 remember what

00:17:31.700 --> 00:17:32.259
 home was

00:17:32.259 --> 00:17:32.720
 like.

00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:34.299
 Now they're

00:17:34.299 --> 00:17:34.759
 settled.

00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:36.339
 Their kids

00:17:36.339 --> 00:17:36.740
 are in

00:17:36.740 --> 00:17:37.119
 school.

00:17:37.500 --> 00:17:37.920
 They've got

00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:38.640
 work to do.

00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:39.059
 They have

00:17:39.059 --> 00:17:39.640
 homes to

00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:40.000
 live in.

00:17:40.259 --> 00:17:40.960
 Who wants

00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:41.660
 to go back

00:17:41.660 --> 00:17:42.420
 to Jerusalem?

00:17:42.859 --> 00:17:43.680
 It's ruined.

00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:44.960
 It's desolate

00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:45.700
 and broken.

00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:46.839
 After all,

00:17:46.900 --> 00:17:47.599
 it's a thousand

00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:48.400
 miles away.

00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:49.559
 That's a five

00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:50.339
 month walk.

00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:51.619
 I'm not going

00:17:51.619 --> 00:17:51.859
 back.

00:17:51.859 --> 00:17:52.259
 Are you

00:17:52.259 --> 00:17:52.559
 going?

00:17:52.740 --> 00:17:53.240
 No.

00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:56.279
 Well,

00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:56.819
 just as

00:17:56.819 --> 00:17:57.379
 God had

00:17:57.379 --> 00:17:57.719
 moved

00:17:57.719 --> 00:17:58.240
 Cyrus,

00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:00.279
 now God

00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:01.259
 moves the

00:18:01.259 --> 00:18:01.799
 heart of

00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:02.379
 the people.

00:18:03.439 --> 00:18:03.619
 Verse

00:18:03.619 --> 00:18:04.139
 five.

00:18:05.399 --> 00:18:05.819
 Then the

00:18:05.819 --> 00:18:06.659
 family heads

00:18:06.659 --> 00:18:07.299
 of Judah

00:18:07.299 --> 00:18:08.199
 and Benjamin

00:18:08.199 --> 00:18:09.219
 and the

00:18:09.219 --> 00:18:09.919
 priests and

00:18:09.919 --> 00:18:10.619
 the Levites,

00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:11.099
 those who

00:18:11.099 --> 00:18:11.539
 worked in

00:18:11.539 --> 00:18:12.039
 the temple,

00:18:12.699 --> 00:18:13.319
 everyone

00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:14.719
 whose

00:18:14.719 --> 00:18:15.439
 heart

00:18:15.439 --> 00:18:16.579
 God

00:18:16.579 --> 00:18:17.779
 had

00:18:17.779 --> 00:18:18.459
 moved.

00:18:18.460 --> 00:18:20.640
 It seems

00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:21.279
 as if

00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:22.160
 God

00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:22.620
 hadn't

00:18:22.620 --> 00:18:23.680
 intervened

00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:24.360
 and if

00:18:24.360 --> 00:18:24.819
 God

00:18:24.819 --> 00:18:25.240
 hadn't

00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:25.900
 given them

00:18:25.900 --> 00:18:26.440
 his

00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:27.100
 desires

00:18:27.100 --> 00:18:27.980
 to move,

00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:29.160
 they would

00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:29.680
 have stayed

00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:30.240
 put.

00:18:31.220 --> 00:18:31.819
 God

00:18:31.819 --> 00:18:32.340
 had to

00:18:32.340 --> 00:18:32.700
 move

00:18:32.700 --> 00:18:32.980
 their

00:18:32.980 --> 00:18:33.559
 stubborn

00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:34.880
 and reluctant

00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:35.759
 hearts.

00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:37.860
 You see,

00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:38.799
 God is the

00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:39.220
 ultimate

00:18:39.220 --> 00:18:39.960
 superpower.

00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:41.220
 He is the

00:18:41.220 --> 00:18:41.799
 grand

00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:42.579
 conductor

00:18:42.579 --> 00:18:43.440
 of history.

00:18:43.980 --> 00:18:44.539
 He is the

00:18:44.539 --> 00:18:45.059
 master

00:18:45.059 --> 00:18:45.779
 weaver

00:18:45.779 --> 00:18:46.380
 of every

00:18:46.380 --> 00:18:46.799
 event.

00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:47.599
 God

00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:47.799
 had

00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:48.339
 promised

00:18:48.339 --> 00:18:48.759
 that he

00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:48.919
 would

00:18:48.919 --> 00:18:49.299
 rescue

00:18:49.299 --> 00:18:49.539
 his

00:18:49.539 --> 00:18:49.819
 people

00:18:49.819 --> 00:18:50.079
 from

00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:50.539
 exile

00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:51.039
 and

00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:51.240
 that

00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:51.500
 he

00:18:51.500 --> 00:18:51.720
 would

00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:51.980
 bring

00:18:51.980 --> 00:18:52.180
 them

00:18:52.180 --> 00:18:52.500
 home

00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:52.980
 and

00:18:52.980 --> 00:18:53.180
 he

00:18:53.180 --> 00:18:53.379
 will

00:18:53.379 --> 00:18:53.680
 move

00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:53.899
 the

00:18:53.899 --> 00:18:54.339
 heart

00:18:54.339 --> 00:18:54.839
 of

00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:55.000
 the

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:55.379
 king

00:18:55.379 --> 00:18:55.839
 and

00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:55.980
 he

00:18:55.980 --> 00:18:56.159
 will

00:18:56.159 --> 00:18:56.440
 move

00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:56.659
 the

00:18:56.659 --> 00:18:56.980
 heart

00:18:56.980 --> 00:18:57.119
 of

00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:57.279
 his

00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:57.680
 people.

00:18:58.240 --> 00:18:58.539
 Nothing

00:18:58.539 --> 00:18:59.259
 will

00:18:59.259 --> 00:18:59.740
 stop

00:18:59.740 --> 00:19:00.039
 him.

00:19:01.180 --> 00:19:01.579
 God

00:19:01.579 --> 00:19:02.480
 works

00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:03.700
 for the

00:19:03.700 --> 00:19:04.000
 good of

00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:04.180
 his

00:19:04.180 --> 00:19:04.659
 people.

00:19:05.859 --> 00:19:06.440
 God's

00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:07.059
 purposes

00:19:07.059 --> 00:19:08.879
 always

00:19:08.879 --> 00:19:10.279
 prevail.

00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:12.980
 The

00:19:12.980 --> 00:19:13.399
 second,

00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:16.600
 God

00:19:16.600 --> 00:19:17.560
 resides

00:19:17.560 --> 00:19:18.860
 for the

00:19:18.860 --> 00:19:19.320
 joy

00:19:19.320 --> 00:19:20.380
 of his

00:19:20.380 --> 00:19:20.840
 people.

00:19:21.360 --> 00:19:21.460
 He

00:19:21.460 --> 00:19:21.800
 works

00:19:21.800 --> 00:19:22.140
 for the

00:19:22.140 --> 00:19:22.480
 good of

00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:22.620
 the

00:19:22.620 --> 00:19:23.000
 people

00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:24.200
 and he

00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:24.860
 resides

00:19:24.860 --> 00:19:25.400
 for the

00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:25.880
 joy

00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:27.080
 of his

00:19:27.080 --> 00:19:27.540
 people.

00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:29.140
 Exile

00:19:29.140 --> 00:19:30.060
 meant

00:19:30.060 --> 00:19:30.820
 separation

00:19:30.820 --> 00:19:31.580
 not just

00:19:31.580 --> 00:19:32.019
 from their

00:19:32.019 --> 00:19:32.560
 homeland

00:19:32.560 --> 00:19:34.360
 but also

00:19:34.360 --> 00:19:35.140
 from God.

00:19:35.140 --> 00:19:36.180
 So if they

00:19:36.180 --> 00:19:36.600
 were going

00:19:36.600 --> 00:19:37.320
 to return

00:19:37.320 --> 00:19:38.160
 from exile

00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:39.240
 that meant

00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:40.400
 a joyful

00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:41.300
 return

00:19:41.299 --> 00:19:42.519
 to God.

00:19:43.399 --> 00:19:43.819
 Look at

00:19:43.819 --> 00:19:44.619
 what Cyrus

00:19:44.619 --> 00:19:45.599
 commanded

00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:46.079
 again.

00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:46.440
 Verse

00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:46.799
 2.

00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:48.759
 The

00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:49.200
 Lord,

00:19:49.339 --> 00:19:49.480
 the

00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:49.940
 God of

00:19:49.940 --> 00:19:50.299
 heaven,

00:19:51.059 --> 00:19:51.339
 has

00:19:51.339 --> 00:19:51.619
 given

00:19:51.619 --> 00:19:52.379
 me all

00:19:52.379 --> 00:19:52.619
 the

00:19:52.619 --> 00:19:53.019
 kingdoms

00:19:53.019 --> 00:19:53.519
 of the

00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:53.879
 earth

00:19:53.879 --> 00:19:54.899
 and has

00:19:54.899 --> 00:19:55.319
 appointed

00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:55.940
 me to

00:19:55.940 --> 00:19:56.819
 build a

00:19:56.819 --> 00:19:57.139
 temple

00:19:57.139 --> 00:19:57.700
 for him

00:19:57.700 --> 00:19:58.000
 at

00:19:58.000 --> 00:19:58.460
 Jerusalem

00:19:58.460 --> 00:19:58.740
 in

00:19:58.740 --> 00:19:59.039
 Judah.

00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:00.299
 Any

00:20:00.299 --> 00:20:00.639
 of his

00:20:00.639 --> 00:20:00.980
 people

00:20:00.980 --> 00:20:01.299
 among

00:20:01.299 --> 00:20:01.779
 you may

00:20:01.779 --> 00:20:02.240
 go up

00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:02.419
 to

00:20:02.419 --> 00:20:02.879
 Jerusalem

00:20:02.879 --> 00:20:03.220
 in

00:20:03.220 --> 00:20:03.519
 Judah

00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:04.240
 and

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:04.799
 build

00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:05.180
 the

00:20:05.180 --> 00:20:05.579
 temple

00:20:05.579 --> 00:20:06.000
 of

00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:06.259
 the

00:20:06.259 --> 00:20:06.700
 Lord.

00:20:07.899 --> 00:20:08.200
 End

00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:08.339
 of

00:20:08.339 --> 00:20:08.559
 verse

00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:09.079
 5.

00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:10.759
 And

00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:10.919
 they

00:20:10.919 --> 00:20:11.139
 can

00:20:11.139 --> 00:20:11.699
 go up

00:20:11.699 --> 00:20:11.980
 and

00:20:11.980 --> 00:20:12.500
 build

00:20:12.500 --> 00:20:12.859
 the

00:20:12.859 --> 00:20:13.259
 house

00:20:13.259 --> 00:20:13.460
 or

00:20:13.460 --> 00:20:13.659
 the

00:20:13.659 --> 00:20:14.019
 temple

00:20:14.019 --> 00:20:14.279
 of

00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:14.480
 the

00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:14.799
 Lord

00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:15.579
 in

00:20:15.579 --> 00:20:16.119
 Jerusalem.

00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:17.659
 Now

00:20:17.659 --> 00:20:18.199
 why is

00:20:18.199 --> 00:20:18.599
 there so

00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:18.879
 much

00:20:18.879 --> 00:20:19.519
 focus

00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:20.399
 and so

00:20:20.399 --> 00:20:20.679
 much

00:20:20.679 --> 00:20:21.339
 instruction

00:20:21.339 --> 00:20:22.279
 about

00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:22.539
 the

00:20:22.539 --> 00:20:22.939
 temple?

00:20:24.019 --> 00:20:24.359
 Well

00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:24.559
 the

00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:24.919
 temple

00:20:24.919 --> 00:20:25.460
 was a

00:20:25.460 --> 00:20:25.879
 symbol

00:20:25.879 --> 00:20:26.779
 of

00:20:26.779 --> 00:20:27.240
 God's

00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:27.859
 presence.

00:20:28.899 --> 00:20:29.019
 So

00:20:29.019 --> 00:20:29.579
 God's

00:20:29.579 --> 00:20:30.079
 plan

00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:30.919
 through

00:20:30.919 --> 00:20:31.679
 Cyrus

00:20:31.679 --> 00:20:32.579
 is to

00:20:32.579 --> 00:20:33.319
 rebuild

00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:33.619
 the

00:20:33.619 --> 00:20:33.960
 temple

00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:34.399
 that is

00:20:34.399 --> 00:20:34.819
 broken

00:20:34.819 --> 00:20:35.639
 so

00:20:35.639 --> 00:20:35.919
 that

00:20:35.919 --> 00:20:36.319
 his

00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:36.960
 people

00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:37.599
 may

00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:38.519
 experience

00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:39.200
 his

00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:40.039
 presence

00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:41.139
 once

00:20:41.139 --> 00:20:41.599
 again

00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:42.940
 because

00:20:42.940 --> 00:20:43.900
 God

00:20:43.900 --> 00:20:45.160
 longs

00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:45.660
 to

00:20:45.660 --> 00:20:46.299
 reside

00:20:46.299 --> 00:20:47.220
 with

00:20:47.220 --> 00:20:47.400
 his

00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:47.839
 people.

00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:49.859
 Notice

00:20:49.859 --> 00:20:50.539
 here

00:20:50.539 --> 00:20:51.299
 the

00:20:51.299 --> 00:20:51.980
 progression

00:20:51.980 --> 00:20:53.039
 of

00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:53.519
 God's

00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:54.119
 presence.

00:20:54.700 --> 00:20:55.079
 It's

00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:55.420
 so

00:20:55.420 --> 00:20:56.019
 encouraging.

00:20:56.740 --> 00:20:57.019
 Look

00:20:57.019 --> 00:20:57.160
 at

00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:57.400
 verse

00:20:57.400 --> 00:20:57.779
 2.

00:20:59.279 --> 00:20:59.539
 Do you

00:20:59.539 --> 00:20:59.920
 see there

00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:00.279
 in verse

00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:00.720
 2 we're

00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:01.279
 told that

00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:01.900
 God

00:21:01.900 --> 00:21:02.839
 is the

00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:03.359
 God

00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:04.460
 of

00:21:04.460 --> 00:21:04.920
 heaven.

00:21:05.859 --> 00:21:06.079
 He

00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:06.440
 is the

00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:06.680
 God

00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:06.879
 of

00:21:06.879 --> 00:21:07.839
 supreme

00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:08.420
 power

00:21:08.420 --> 00:21:09.060
 and

00:21:09.060 --> 00:21:09.640
 absolute

00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:10.340
 purity.

00:21:10.860 --> 00:21:10.940
 You

00:21:10.940 --> 00:21:11.300
 cannot

00:21:11.300 --> 00:21:11.700
 get

00:21:11.700 --> 00:21:12.360
 close

00:21:12.360 --> 00:21:12.900
 to

00:21:12.900 --> 00:21:13.240
 his

00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:14.080
 fearful

00:21:14.080 --> 00:21:14.680
 beauty.

00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:15.300
 He's

00:21:15.300 --> 00:21:15.480
 the

00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:15.800
 God

00:21:15.800 --> 00:21:15.980
 of

00:21:15.980 --> 00:21:16.720
 heaven.

00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:18.960
 But

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:20.500
 verse

00:21:20.500 --> 00:21:20.920
 3.

00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:22.240
 Do you

00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:22.600
 see it

00:21:22.600 --> 00:21:22.880
 there?

00:21:24.019 --> 00:21:24.300
 He

00:21:24.300 --> 00:21:24.980
 is the

00:21:24.980 --> 00:21:25.580
 God

00:21:25.580 --> 00:21:26.440
 who

00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:26.680
 is

00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:27.019
 where?

00:21:28.060 --> 00:21:28.900
 In

00:21:28.900 --> 00:21:30.360
 Jerusalem.

00:21:31.460 --> 00:21:31.840
 The

00:21:31.840 --> 00:21:32.440
 creator

00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:33.200
 of the

00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:33.700
 universe

00:21:33.700 --> 00:21:35.000
 is

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:35.360
 coming

00:21:35.360 --> 00:21:36.140
 close

00:21:36.140 --> 00:21:37.019
 to his

00:21:37.019 --> 00:21:37.600
 creation.

00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:38.119
 he

00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:38.559
 moves

00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:38.799
 from

00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:39.339
 heaven

00:21:39.339 --> 00:21:40.199
 to

00:21:40.199 --> 00:21:40.699
 earth.

00:21:42.419 --> 00:21:42.959
 But

00:21:42.959 --> 00:21:43.299
 much

00:21:43.299 --> 00:21:43.619
 more

00:21:43.619 --> 00:21:43.859
 than

00:21:43.859 --> 00:21:44.299
 that.

00:21:45.439 --> 00:21:45.799
 Look

00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:46.059
 at the

00:21:46.059 --> 00:21:46.419
 end of

00:21:46.419 --> 00:21:46.659
 verse

00:21:46.659 --> 00:21:47.019
 3.

00:21:49.019 --> 00:21:49.139
 He

00:21:49.139 --> 00:21:49.500
 is the

00:21:49.500 --> 00:21:49.819
 God

00:21:49.819 --> 00:21:50.159
 who is

00:21:50.159 --> 00:21:50.379
 in

00:21:50.379 --> 00:21:50.959
 Jerusalem

00:21:50.959 --> 00:21:52.219
 and

00:21:52.219 --> 00:21:52.539
 may

00:21:52.539 --> 00:21:52.859
 their

00:21:52.859 --> 00:21:53.359
 God

00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:53.799
 be

00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:55.240
 with

00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:55.740
 them.

00:21:57.019 --> 00:21:57.579
 God

00:21:57.579 --> 00:21:58.199
 is the

00:21:58.199 --> 00:21:58.659
 God

00:21:58.659 --> 00:21:59.679
 who is

00:21:59.679 --> 00:22:00.539
 with

00:22:00.539 --> 00:22:01.179
 his

00:22:01.179 --> 00:22:01.740
 people.

00:22:02.419 --> 00:22:02.639
 You

00:22:02.639 --> 00:22:02.899
 see

00:22:02.900 --> 00:22:03.680
 God

00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:04.500
 rescues

00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:04.759
 his

00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:05.259
 people

00:22:05.259 --> 00:22:05.900
 so

00:22:05.900 --> 00:22:06.140
 that

00:22:06.140 --> 00:22:06.360
 he

00:22:06.360 --> 00:22:06.740
 might

00:22:06.740 --> 00:22:07.620
 reside

00:22:07.620 --> 00:22:08.000
 with

00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:08.180
 his

00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:08.540
 people.

00:22:09.019 --> 00:22:09.259
 God

00:22:09.259 --> 00:22:09.920
 commands

00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:10.200
 that

00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:10.400
 the

00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:10.700
 temple

00:22:10.700 --> 00:22:10.980
 be

00:22:10.980 --> 00:22:11.460
 rebuilt

00:22:11.460 --> 00:22:12.019
 so

00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:12.259
 that

00:22:12.259 --> 00:22:12.420
 he

00:22:12.420 --> 00:22:12.620
 can

00:22:12.620 --> 00:22:12.940
 be

00:22:12.940 --> 00:22:13.480
 among

00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:13.780
 his

00:22:13.780 --> 00:22:14.180
 people.

00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:14.960
 This

00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:15.360
 is the

00:22:15.360 --> 00:22:15.680
 kind

00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:15.840
 of

00:22:15.840 --> 00:22:16.100
 God

00:22:16.100 --> 00:22:16.280
 he

00:22:16.280 --> 00:22:16.500
 is.

00:22:16.500 --> 00:22:16.920
 He

00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:17.640
 longs

00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:17.780
 to

00:22:17.780 --> 00:22:18.019
 get

00:22:18.019 --> 00:22:18.759
 close

00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:20.120
 to

00:22:20.120 --> 00:22:20.360
 his

00:22:20.360 --> 00:22:20.759
 people.

00:22:22.040 --> 00:22:22.620
 Now

00:22:22.620 --> 00:22:23.019
 of course

00:22:23.019 --> 00:22:23.460
 at this

00:22:23.460 --> 00:22:24.040
 stage

00:22:24.040 --> 00:22:24.780
 the

00:22:24.780 --> 00:22:25.120
 temple

00:22:25.120 --> 00:22:25.519
 hasn't

00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:25.720
 been

00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:26.080
 built.

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:26.580
 The

00:22:26.580 --> 00:22:27.180
 instructions

00:22:27.180 --> 00:22:27.500
 have

00:22:27.500 --> 00:22:27.700
 just

00:22:27.700 --> 00:22:27.900
 been

00:22:27.900 --> 00:22:28.180
 given

00:22:28.180 --> 00:22:28.680
 go

00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:29.019
 back

00:22:29.019 --> 00:22:29.220
 and

00:22:29.220 --> 00:22:29.660
 rebuild

00:22:29.660 --> 00:22:29.660


00:22:29.660 --> 00:22:29.920
 it

00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:30.340
 it

00:22:30.340 --> 00:22:30.980
 presently

00:22:30.980 --> 00:22:31.460
 remains

00:22:31.460 --> 00:22:31.720
 in

00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:32.140
 ruins

00:22:32.140 --> 00:22:32.440
 in

00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:32.860
 Ezra.

00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:33.759
 But

00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:34.140
 God

00:22:34.140 --> 00:22:34.320
 had

00:22:34.320 --> 00:22:34.560
 made

00:22:34.560 --> 00:22:34.759
 a

00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:35.180
 promise

00:22:35.180 --> 00:22:35.720
 the

00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:36.140
 temple

00:22:36.140 --> 00:22:36.519
 will

00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:36.860
 be

00:22:36.860 --> 00:22:37.560
 rebuilt

00:22:37.560 --> 00:22:38.040
 for

00:22:38.040 --> 00:22:38.420
 their

00:22:38.420 --> 00:22:39.380
 joy.

00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:41.100
 And

00:22:41.100 --> 00:22:41.240
 in

00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:41.480
 case

00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:41.660
 we

00:22:41.660 --> 00:22:41.940
 don't

00:22:41.940 --> 00:22:42.300
 believe

00:22:42.300 --> 00:22:42.660
 it

00:22:42.660 --> 00:22:43.600
 we'll

00:22:43.600 --> 00:22:43.820
 just

00:22:43.820 --> 00:22:44.080
 jump

00:22:46.180 --> 00:22:46.420
 a

00:22:46.420 --> 00:22:46.840
 sneaky

00:22:46.840 --> 00:22:47.420
 peek

00:22:47.420 --> 00:22:48.120
 at

00:22:48.120 --> 00:22:48.480
 what's

00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:48.960
 ahead.

00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:04.799
 they

00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:05.479
 finished

00:23:05.479 --> 00:23:05.959
 the

00:23:15.099 --> 00:23:16.259

00:23:16.259 --> 00:23:16.419
 then

00:25:43.500 --> 00:25:44.019
 have

00:25:44.019 --> 00:25:44.759
 what

00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:44.980
 they

00:25:44.980 --> 00:25:45.460
 need

00:25:45.460 --> 00:25:47.079
 we

00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:47.259
 could

00:25:47.259 --> 00:25:47.720
 imagine

00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:48.339
 God's

00:25:48.339 --> 00:25:48.819
 people

00:25:48.819 --> 00:25:50.279
 packing up

00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:50.740
 all their

00:25:50.740 --> 00:25:51.339
 belongings

00:25:51.339 --> 00:25:52.799
 ready for

00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:53.740
 that long

00:25:53.740 --> 00:25:54.359
 walk

00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:54.899
 home

00:25:54.899 --> 00:25:56.139
 and as

00:25:56.139 --> 00:25:56.700
 they begin

00:25:56.700 --> 00:25:56.960
 their

00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:57.700
 journey

00:25:57.700 --> 00:25:58.299
 the

00:25:58.299 --> 00:25:58.700
 neighbours

00:25:58.700 --> 00:25:59.379
 are rushing

00:25:59.379 --> 00:25:59.700
 out

00:25:59.700 --> 00:26:00.220
 and giving

00:26:00.220 --> 00:26:00.519
 them

00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:01.220
 gifts

00:26:01.220 --> 00:26:02.519
 to help

00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:03.439
 them rebuild

00:26:03.439 --> 00:26:03.460
!

00:26:03.460 --> 00:26:04.359
 the

00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:04.799
 temple

00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:06.259
 this is

00:26:06.259 --> 00:26:07.119
 no charity

00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:07.759
 case

00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:09.099
 this

00:26:09.099 --> 00:26:09.279
 is

00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:09.500
 the

00:26:09.500 --> 00:26:10.019
 rich

00:26:10.019 --> 00:26:11.079
 generous

00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:11.740
 provision

00:26:11.740 --> 00:26:12.559
 of

00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:13.160
 God

00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:14.420
 towards

00:26:14.420 --> 00:26:15.019
 his

00:26:15.019 --> 00:26:15.500
 people

00:26:15.500 --> 00:26:16.940
 look at

00:26:16.940 --> 00:26:17.619
 verse 11

00:26:17.619 --> 00:26:19.579
 in all

00:26:19.579 --> 00:26:19.960
 there were

00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:21.559
 5400

00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:23.099
 articles

00:26:23.099 --> 00:26:23.619
 of

00:26:23.619 --> 00:26:24.339
 gold

00:26:24.339 --> 00:26:25.200
 and

00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:25.400
 of

00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:25.900
 silver

00:26:25.900 --> 00:26:27.339
 Sheshbazar

00:26:27.339 --> 00:26:27.940
 brought

00:26:27.940 --> 00:26:28.660
 all these

00:26:28.660 --> 00:26:29.099
 along

00:26:29.099 --> 00:26:29.660
 with the

00:26:29.660 --> 00:26:30.339
 exiles

00:26:30.339 --> 00:26:31.279
 when they

00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:31.900
 came up

00:26:31.900 --> 00:26:32.180
 from

00:26:32.180 --> 00:26:32.660
 Babylon

00:26:32.660 --> 00:26:33.720
 to

00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:34.400
 Jerusalem

00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:36.680
 can you

00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:37.160
 see

00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:38.620
 that God

00:26:38.620 --> 00:26:39.060
 is the

00:26:39.060 --> 00:26:39.600
 grand

00:26:39.600 --> 00:26:40.300
 conductor

00:26:40.300 --> 00:26:41.220
 over

00:26:41.220 --> 00:26:42.019
 all of

00:26:42.019 --> 00:26:42.519
 history

00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:43.920
 he's the

00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:44.480
 master

00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:45.060
 weaver

00:26:45.060 --> 00:26:45.880
 of every

00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:46.420
 event

00:26:46.420 --> 00:26:47.720
 the supreme

00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:48.280
 power

00:26:48.280 --> 00:26:48.780
 who can

00:26:48.780 --> 00:26:49.380
 move the

00:26:49.380 --> 00:26:49.840
 heart of

00:26:49.840 --> 00:26:50.300
 a king

00:26:50.300 --> 00:26:51.220
 and open

00:26:51.220 --> 00:26:51.940
 the wallets

00:26:51.940 --> 00:26:52.280
 of the

00:26:52.280 --> 00:26:53.019
 oppressor

00:26:53.019 --> 00:26:54.880
 God

00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:56.500
 provides

00:26:56.500 --> 00:26:57.720
 for the

00:26:57.720 --> 00:26:58.019
 needs

00:26:58.019 --> 00:26:58.360
 of his

00:26:58.360 --> 00:26:58.800
 people

00:26:58.800 --> 00:27:00.519
 God's

00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:01.140
 purposes

00:27:01.140 --> 00:27:03.000
 always

00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:04.380
 prevail

00:27:04.380 --> 00:27:09.580
 now

00:27:09.580 --> 00:27:10.160
 before we

00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:10.840
 move on

00:27:10.840 --> 00:27:13.000
 we want

00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:13.320
 to just

00:27:13.320 --> 00:27:13.900
 pause a

00:27:13.900 --> 00:27:14.100
 minute

00:27:14.100 --> 00:27:14.700
 and see

00:27:14.700 --> 00:27:15.340
 how this

00:27:15.340 --> 00:27:16.300
 all relates

00:27:16.300 --> 00:27:17.660
 to us

00:27:17.660 --> 00:27:19.660
 because it

00:27:19.660 --> 00:27:20.180
 tells us

00:27:20.180 --> 00:27:20.440
 of a

00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:20.700
 great

00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:21.200
 God

00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:22.360
 and as

00:27:22.360 --> 00:27:22.720
 we look

00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:23.040
 at our

00:27:23.040 --> 00:27:23.480
 news

00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:23.960
 and hear

00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:24.520
 about all

00:27:24.520 --> 00:27:25.080
 the events

00:27:25.080 --> 00:27:25.420
 in the

00:27:25.420 --> 00:27:25.880
 world

00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:27.120
 surely

00:27:27.120 --> 00:27:27.640
 it should

00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:28.380
 tell us

00:27:28.380 --> 00:27:29.820
 do not

00:27:29.820 --> 00:27:30.320
 fear

00:27:30.320 --> 00:27:32.120
 do not

00:27:32.120 --> 00:27:32.580
 worry

00:27:32.580 --> 00:27:34.020
 God

00:27:34.019 --> 00:27:34.579
 is in

00:27:34.579 --> 00:27:35.599
 control

00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:38.119
 we don't

00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:38.579
 need to

00:27:38.579 --> 00:27:38.920
 worry

00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:40.839
 but there's

00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:41.519
 something much

00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:42.319
 more important

00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:43.019
 than that

00:27:43.019 --> 00:27:44.379
 you see

00:27:44.379 --> 00:27:44.879
 the Bible

00:27:44.879 --> 00:27:45.779
 tells us

00:27:45.779 --> 00:27:46.480
 that we

00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:47.099
 have all

00:27:47.099 --> 00:27:47.819
 been born

00:27:47.819 --> 00:27:48.500
 into a

00:27:48.500 --> 00:27:49.139
 kind of

00:27:49.139 --> 00:27:49.920
 exile

00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:51.440
 we are

00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:51.779
 all

00:27:51.779 --> 00:27:52.779
 spiritually

00:27:52.779 --> 00:27:53.759
 separated

00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:54.519
 from God

00:27:54.519 --> 00:27:55.319
 we are

00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:56.660
 living in

00:27:56.660 --> 00:27:58.059
 a place

00:27:58.059 --> 00:27:59.160
 away from

00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:00.160
 his presence

00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:01.240
 without

00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:01.920
 hope

00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:03.460
 and without

00:28:03.460 --> 00:28:04.140
 a future

00:28:04.140 --> 00:28:05.700
 you see

00:28:05.700 --> 00:28:06.200
 the point

00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:06.560
 is

00:28:06.560 --> 00:28:07.519
 we all

00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:08.040
 need

00:28:08.040 --> 00:28:08.980
 rescued

00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:10.460
 we need

00:28:10.460 --> 00:28:11.360
 set free

00:28:11.360 --> 00:28:11.960
 from our

00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:12.720
 bondage

00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:13.980
 in exile

00:28:13.980 --> 00:28:15.019
 we need

00:28:15.019 --> 00:28:15.360
 to be

00:28:15.360 --> 00:28:16.060
 restored

00:28:16.060 --> 00:28:16.500
 to be

00:28:16.500 --> 00:28:17.060
 the kind

00:28:17.060 --> 00:28:17.660
 of people

00:28:17.660 --> 00:28:18.420
 God

00:28:18.420 --> 00:28:19.320
 created us

00:28:19.320 --> 00:28:19.759
 to be

00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:20.460
 and the

00:28:20.460 --> 00:28:21.000
 good news

00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:21.360
 is

00:28:21.360 --> 00:28:22.100
 God

00:28:22.100 --> 00:28:22.940
 will move

00:28:22.940 --> 00:28:23.440
 heaven

00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:23.960
 and earth

00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:24.460
 to do

00:28:24.460 --> 00:28:24.800
 it

00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:26.680
 in fact

00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:27.599
 his rescue

00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:28.480
 of humanity

00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:29.359
 will be

00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:30.559
 so momentous

00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:31.579
 that God

00:28:31.579 --> 00:28:32.460
 will come

00:28:32.460 --> 00:28:33.720
 in the

00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:34.460
 person of

00:28:34.460 --> 00:28:35.299
 King Jesus

00:28:35.299 --> 00:28:36.940
 a king

00:28:36.940 --> 00:28:37.680
 who only

00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:38.200
 does

00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:38.740
 what

00:28:38.740 --> 00:28:39.379
 pleases

00:28:39.379 --> 00:28:40.740
 God

00:28:40.740 --> 00:28:42.539
 a king

00:28:42.539 --> 00:28:43.079
 who has

00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:43.899
 the desires

00:28:43.899 --> 00:28:44.720
 of the

00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:45.159
 father

00:28:45.159 --> 00:28:46.039
 in his

00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:46.539
 heart

00:28:46.539 --> 00:28:48.279
 for Jesus

00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:48.839
 is the

00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:49.240
 ultimate

00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:50.139
 superpower

00:28:50.139 --> 00:28:51.519
 who enters

00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:52.599
 the world

00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:53.700
 to save

00:28:53.700 --> 00:28:54.019
 us

00:28:54.019 --> 00:28:54.779
 who comes

00:28:54.779 --> 00:28:55.500
 from heaven

00:28:55.500 --> 00:28:57.000
 to earth

00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:58.259
 to be

00:28:58.259 --> 00:28:58.859
 present

00:28:58.859 --> 00:29:00.619
 to save

00:29:00.619 --> 00:29:02.859
 but the

00:29:02.859 --> 00:29:03.440
 world is

00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:03.940
 stubborn

00:29:03.940 --> 00:29:05.579
 and hard

00:29:05.579 --> 00:29:06.220
 hearted

00:29:06.220 --> 00:29:07.759
 the world

00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:08.240
 has said

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:08.960
 no to

00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:09.420
 God's

00:29:09.420 --> 00:29:09.700
 king

00:29:09.700 --> 00:29:10.480
 and we

00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:10.879
 too

00:29:10.879 --> 00:29:11.500
 we have

00:29:11.500 --> 00:29:12.180
 all pushed

00:29:12.180 --> 00:29:12.579
 him out

00:29:12.579 --> 00:29:13.220
 we haven't

00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:13.740
 listened to

00:29:13.740 --> 00:29:14.359
 his word

00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:15.359
 and Jesus

00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:16.460
 was rejected

00:29:16.460 --> 00:29:17.619
 and beaten

00:29:17.619 --> 00:29:18.920
 and crucified

00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:20.039
 and as we

00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:20.619
 look at the

00:29:20.619 --> 00:29:21.119
 king and

00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:21.660
 the cross

00:29:21.660 --> 00:29:22.559
 it seems

00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:23.359
 that God's

00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:24.420
 grand rescue

00:29:24.420 --> 00:29:25.220
 has failed

00:29:25.220 --> 00:29:27.000
 but the

00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:27.600
 death of

00:29:27.600 --> 00:29:28.080
 Jesus

00:29:28.080 --> 00:29:28.920
 the king

00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:30.039
 it was

00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:30.800
 all part

00:29:30.800 --> 00:29:31.519
 of God's

00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:32.080
 wonderful

00:29:32.080 --> 00:29:32.640
 plan

00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:33.860
 Acts 4

00:29:33.860 --> 00:29:35.140
 reminds us

00:29:35.140 --> 00:29:36.500
 indeed

00:29:36.500 --> 00:29:37.279
 Herod and

00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:38.320
 Pontius Pilate

00:29:38.320 --> 00:29:39.380
 the superpower

00:29:39.380 --> 00:29:40.460
 rulers of the

00:29:40.460 --> 00:29:40.779
 day

00:29:40.779 --> 00:29:42.019
 met together

00:29:42.019 --> 00:29:42.500
 with the

00:29:42.500 --> 00:29:43.100
 gentiles

00:29:43.100 --> 00:29:43.440

00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:43.960
 people of

00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:44.340
 Israel

00:29:44.340 --> 00:29:45.259
 in this

00:29:45.259 --> 00:29:45.580
 city

00:29:45.580 --> 00:29:46.560
 to conspire

00:29:46.560 --> 00:29:46.960
 against

00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:47.519
 your holy

 whom you

00:29:49.340 --> 00:29:49.840
 anointed

00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:51.179
 they

00:29:51.179 --> 00:29:51.899

00:29:56.819 --> 00:29:57.379
 should

00:29:57.379 --> 00:29:57.859

00:30:04.379 --> 00:30:05.519
 of history

00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:06.459
 the

 master

00:30:07.179 --> 00:30:07.839
 weaver

00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:13.119
 mistake

 design

00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:15.859
 for

00:30:15.859 --> 00:30:16.240
 Jesus

00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:16.960
 had to

00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:17.359
 come
