00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.299
 Well, I want to begin with a question this morning, and it's a simple question.

00:00:05.860 --> 00:00:08.279
 What is it that can kill a church?

00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:11.339
 What can kill a church?

00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:19.339
 What is it that can set a church's destiny toward failure?

00:00:20.300 --> 00:00:25.560
 We often think of church ministries in that kind of context, using that kind of terminology

00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:28.260
 as either a success or as a failure.

00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:34.219
 Of course, we want to achieve success, and of course, there are many who do not do that.

00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:35.200
 They fail.

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:36.840
 But what is it that actually does that?

00:00:36.939 --> 00:00:41.060
 What actually brings a church to the point of death?

00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:41.920
 What can kill it?

00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:48.240
 And people have come up with all kinds of answers for that, and depending on what your passion

00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:51.460
 and context is may affect how you would answer that question.

00:00:51.460 --> 00:00:59.980
 A marketing strategist might conclude that what will quickly kill a church is poor messaging,

00:00:59.980 --> 00:01:07.719
 or maybe in our context, a weak presence on social media or on the web, that those are

00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:09.180
 the things that will quickly kill a church.

00:01:09.260 --> 00:01:11.340
 If you don't get those things right, nobody's going to come.

00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:14.180
 Nobody's going to take you serious, and there's no way you can succeed.

00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.500
 Church growth experts might take a different direction.

00:01:18.500 --> 00:01:23.120
 They may say, well, that's probably important, but it's not just that.

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:30.640
 Maybe it's an insistence on a lack of contextualization that you are not enough like the community that

00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.819
 you're in in order for you to succeed as an organization.

00:01:35.180 --> 00:01:43.579
 Or perhaps your programming is not as elaborate as maybe it should be to actually be attractive

00:01:43.579 --> 00:01:50.319
 to people, or maybe you're not providing engaging experiences that are helpful and encouraging,

00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.079
 and those things will surely lead a church to fail.

00:01:54.219 --> 00:01:59.179
 Of course, historically, those outside of the church for many times throughout history have

00:01:59.179 --> 00:02:03.319
 said, well, the best way to kill a church is to actually literally kill it.

00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:08.280
 And that's what the people in these churches that were studying in Revelation 2 and 3 were facing.

00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:12.840
 The fight against them was actually a fight for their very lives.

00:02:13.419 --> 00:02:15.240
 And so we could answer that in a lot of different ways.

00:02:15.620 --> 00:02:18.060
 But here's how we want to frame the question for us this morning.

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.680
 What does Jesus say will kill a church?

00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:29.460
 What does Jesus conclude makes a church destined for failure?

00:02:29.460 --> 00:02:35.820
 And as we come to the messages to these seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3, we find really,

00:02:36.020 --> 00:02:38.900
 generally, Jesus is giving two answers to that question.

00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:44.800
 The first thing that Jesus says will kill a church is spiritual complacency.

00:02:45.500 --> 00:02:47.180
 Spiritual complacency.

00:02:48.140 --> 00:02:54.939
 And the early stage of this complacency is embodied in the first sermon to the church at Ephesus.

00:02:54.939 --> 00:03:03.479
 A church that, while remaining steadfast in its doctrine and morality, had abandoned first love.

00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.960
 That's the early stage of this complacency.

00:03:06.859 --> 00:03:12.439
 And then we find that abandoning first love results in a church like Laodicea,

00:03:12.699 --> 00:03:15.419
 which is the final church that we'll study in chapter 3.

00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.439
 Laodicea was self-deceived.

00:03:19.020 --> 00:03:21.199
 They thought themselves to be prosperous.

00:03:21.460 --> 00:03:23.139
 They thought everything was grain.

00:03:23.139 --> 00:03:28.459
 But Jesus presents himself as on the outside of the church looking in.

00:03:29.659 --> 00:03:34.219
 And so we see spiritual complacency is the first thing that will surely kill a church.

00:03:34.359 --> 00:03:38.699
 If you don't get the first love right, you're going to end up with Jesus on the outside,

00:03:38.699 --> 00:03:40.219
 and you're not even going to know it.

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:42.699
 But then Jesus says,

00:03:43.699 --> 00:03:47.859
 spiritual compromise is the next thing that will kill a church.

00:03:48.859 --> 00:03:49.959
 Spiritual compromise.

00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:55.520
 At the center of these seven sermons is a grouping of three churches,

00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.460
 and all of them are at different levels of compromise.

00:04:01.740 --> 00:04:05.340
 Pergamum, that we studied last week in verses 12 through 17,

00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.460
 adopted a subtle form of compromise,

00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.240
 where the congregation as a whole was generally faithful.

00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:14.680
 They were doing what was right.

00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:19.439
 The problem in Pergamum is that they were tolerating some of their members

00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.160
 who had subscribed to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.

00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.519
 They were involving themselves in idolatry,

00:04:25.699 --> 00:04:28.800
 and with that idolatry came sexual immorality.

00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:32.040
 But the church in Pergamum wasn't doing anything about it.

00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.120
 They weren't disciplining the members.

00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:35.639
 They weren't confronting the members.

00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:37.340
 They were just deciding,

00:04:37.699 --> 00:04:38.879
 okay, we're going to be faithful.

00:04:39.340 --> 00:04:40.399
 They've got their thing.

00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.959
 We're just going to agree to disagree on this.

00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.139
 It's a subtle form of compromise.

00:04:47.179 --> 00:04:49.139
 Well, then the final stage of this compromise

00:04:49.139 --> 00:04:50.659
 is in the church at Sardis,

00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:52.919
 which we'll study next Sunday, Lord willing.

00:04:53.239 --> 00:04:56.039
 We find that in the first six verses of chapter three.

00:04:56.379 --> 00:04:59.439
 It represents the final juncture of compromise,

00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:03.879
 where Jesus declares that that church is dead.

00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:08.639
 Meaning that almost all of the members in Sardis,

00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.620
 in the Sardis church, were unbelievers.

00:05:13.060 --> 00:05:17.839
 But at the center of this grouping is this church in Thyatira,

00:05:18.219 --> 00:05:22.839
 which was not yet guilty of a deadly compromise,

00:05:23.659 --> 00:05:26.139
 but it had moved beyond the subtle compromise

00:05:26.139 --> 00:05:30.279
 to an overt compromise, a blatant compromise.

00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.259
 So that in contrast to Pergamum,

00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:37.739
 the church in Thyatira had moved from tolerating errant members

00:05:37.739 --> 00:05:41.659
 to legitimizing false teachers.

00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.519
 So they've taken the step down the road toward further compromise.

00:05:46.579 --> 00:05:51.339
 As a whole, the congregation was accomplishing some noteworthy work

00:05:51.339 --> 00:05:53.279
 in the name of Christ, as we read here.

00:05:53.739 --> 00:05:58.339
 But it had become doctrinally and morally factious.

00:05:58.339 --> 00:06:02.539
 Some of the people remained faithful to the Lord,

00:06:02.699 --> 00:06:06.979
 while many were being seduced into problematic doctrines.

00:06:07.779 --> 00:06:10.519
 But even the faithful remnant in the church

00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.039
 was not fulfilling its responsibility

00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:19.399
 to discipline and exclude the false teacher and her disciples.

00:06:20.579 --> 00:06:24.659
 Things are starting to spiral out of control in Thyatira,

00:06:24.660 --> 00:06:28.600
 and Jesus comes in as that great eschatological king

00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:33.200
 prepared to unleash his judgment on this church

00:06:33.200 --> 00:06:35.280
 and on all of those in the church

00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:37.760
 who remained in a state of unrepentance.

00:06:38.460 --> 00:06:41.260
 Now for Lakeside, Lakeside Bible Church,

00:06:41.400 --> 00:06:44.440
 to succeed in the biblical sense of that word,

00:06:45.180 --> 00:06:47.379
 we're going to have to learn what truly matters

00:06:47.379 --> 00:06:48.740
 and what truly doesn't matter.

00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:51.579
 We can be grateful for marketing strategies.

00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.120
 We can be grateful for programming

00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:55.879
 that would be honoring to the Lord

00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:57.680
 and helpful and encouraging to people.

00:06:57.939 --> 00:06:59.800
 We can be grateful for all of those things.

00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:00.900
 But at the end of the day,

00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.319
 those are not the things that ultimately matter.

00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:05.660
 At the end of the day,

00:07:05.939 --> 00:07:09.079
 what matters is that we are faithful,

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:11.620
 faithful to the word,

00:07:12.620 --> 00:07:15.019
 faithful to the Lord and to our Savior.

00:07:15.019 --> 00:07:18.339
 And this complacency and compromise

00:07:18.339 --> 00:07:20.899
 that we see in five of the seven churches,

00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:24.120
 if we don't get a hold of it in our own church,

00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:25.839
 it's going to kill us.

00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:27.919
 It's going to kill us.

00:07:29.019 --> 00:07:30.339
 Now, in all the sermons,

00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.039
 there's a glorious promise that we get to at the end

00:07:33.039 --> 00:07:34.599
 for all of those who conquer.

00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:37.859
 But then what we find overwhelmingly true

00:07:37.859 --> 00:07:39.159
 in this particular message

00:07:39.159 --> 00:07:42.060
 is that the church that compromises

00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:46.120
 sets itself up as an enemy of Jesus,

00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:48.780
 destined for death.

00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:49.699
 Okay?

00:07:50.220 --> 00:07:50.980
 So let's dig in.

00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:53.639
 Let's first look at the church's identity

00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.840
 in the Christ title here in verse 18.

00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:57.680
 Would you read it with me?

00:07:58.259 --> 00:08:00.600
 To the angel of the church in Thyatira write,

00:08:01.459 --> 00:08:03.079
 the words of the Son of God,

00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.800
 who has eyes like a flame of fire

00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.740
 and whose feet are like burnished bronze.

00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:12.340
 So Thyatira is the city which,

00:08:12.699 --> 00:08:13.699
 as we understand it,

00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.180
 was not an incredibly significant city

00:08:16.180 --> 00:08:20.000
 in terms of politics or religion,

00:08:20.620 --> 00:08:22.139
 different from some of the churches

00:08:22.139 --> 00:08:23.360
 that we've studied thus far.

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:25.960
 They participated, of course,

00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:27.980
 as all of these cities did

00:08:27.980 --> 00:08:30.100
 in the imperial cult of Rome.

00:08:30.620 --> 00:08:33.659
 But the patron god of Thyatira was Apollos,

00:08:33.659 --> 00:08:35.620
 who was known in Greek mythology

00:08:35.620 --> 00:08:37.820
 to be the son of Zeus.

00:08:37.820 --> 00:08:41.260
 But the city of Thyatira was really identified.

00:08:41.460 --> 00:08:44.040
 They found their identity economically.

00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.400
 Textiles and metalwork

00:08:48.400 --> 00:08:51.440
 were the primary resources produced by this city.

00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.480
 In fact, the most famous Thyatiran person

00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:56.160
 in the scripture,

00:08:56.500 --> 00:08:58.320
 you'll find in Acts chapter 16,

00:08:58.540 --> 00:08:59.720
 it was a lady named Lydia.

00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:00.340
 Do you remember?

00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:02.540
 She was in Philippi at the time.

00:09:03.040 --> 00:09:03.900
 Paul goes on.

00:09:03.899 --> 00:09:06.779
 She is worshiping with a group of Jewish women.

00:09:06.959 --> 00:09:08.679
 And what is it that Luke tells us

00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:11.919
 as an identifying marker of this woman, Lydia?

00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:15.539
 That she is a seller of purple from Thyatira.

00:09:15.659 --> 00:09:17.139
 She was a seller of fine linen.

00:09:17.539 --> 00:09:19.679
 That was what her identity was wrapped up in

00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:20.679
 at that point in her life.

00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:22.959
 Well, why was her identity wrapped up in that?

00:09:23.319 --> 00:09:25.659
 Because the identity of her community

00:09:25.659 --> 00:09:27.120
 and her culture in Thyatira

00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:29.620
 was wrapped up in the economics

00:09:29.620 --> 00:09:32.220
 of fruitful business.

00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:34.899
 The city was known for its prevalence

00:09:34.899 --> 00:09:36.039
 of trade guilds,

00:09:36.060 --> 00:09:38.080
 which were common in all of the cities,

00:09:38.259 --> 00:09:40.320
 but especially in Thyatira.

00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:44.320
 These trade guilds were like business networks

00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:48.440
 akin somewhat to a modern labor union.

00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:51.360
 There were a vast array of guilds

00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:53.680
 that a person could join.

00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:56.600
 Brian could join the floor layers guild

00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:57.540
 if he wanted to.

00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:00.480
 And some of you tech engineers

00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.120
 could enjoy the guild

00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:04.500
 of whatever it is that you do

00:10:04.500 --> 00:10:05.600
 that I don't understand.

00:10:05.800 --> 00:10:08.100
 And there's all kinds of vast arrays of this.

00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:09.899
 Here's the thing with the trade guilds.

00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:12.240
 Each one has a deity

00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.860
 attached to its business.

00:10:15.740 --> 00:10:17.820
 And a part of the guild feast

00:10:17.820 --> 00:10:19.600
 and celebrations that were routine

00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:21.639
 in order to belong to this club

00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:22.399
 or this membership

00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:24.259
 for your business to succeed

00:10:24.259 --> 00:10:26.439
 involved pagan worship

00:10:26.439 --> 00:10:29.100
 that led to pagan ritual and practices.

00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:30.659
 That's the dilemma

00:10:30.659 --> 00:10:32.600
 that the people in Thyatira

00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:33.620
 begin to face.

00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:35.959
 At the heart of the sin

00:10:35.959 --> 00:10:38.000
 that Jesus confronts in Thyatira

00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.220
 is probably the dilemma

00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:41.539
 that these Christians are facing

00:10:41.539 --> 00:10:42.720
 with the trade guilds

00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:44.600
 where they have to make a decision

00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:45.860
 at some point in their life.

00:10:46.019 --> 00:10:47.980
 Am I going to commit

00:10:47.980 --> 00:10:50.139
 to being successful in my business

00:10:50.139 --> 00:10:51.340
 and providing a good living

00:10:51.340 --> 00:10:52.500
 for my family

00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:54.480
 which means that I've got to go

00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.379
 and be a part of these feasts

00:10:56.379 --> 00:10:58.819
 where I'm participating

00:10:58.819 --> 00:11:00.319
 even reluctantly

00:11:00.319 --> 00:11:02.840
 in pagan worship of idolatry

00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:04.539
 that in those days

00:11:04.539 --> 00:11:05.559
 immediately would lead

00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:08.019
 into public displays of immorality.

00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:09.580
 Am I going to do that

00:11:09.580 --> 00:11:11.080
 in order to put food on the table?

00:11:11.860 --> 00:11:14.159
 Or am I going to stay faithful to Christ

00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.139
 refuse those things

00:11:16.139 --> 00:11:18.019
 and face the threat

00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:19.899
 not only of death

00:11:19.899 --> 00:11:21.139
 in terms of persecution

00:11:21.139 --> 00:11:22.480
 but I'm going to be an outcast.

00:11:22.579 --> 00:11:23.620
 I have no way

00:11:23.620 --> 00:11:25.279
 to be successful now

00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:26.419
 in the culture of business

00:11:26.419 --> 00:11:27.159
 in which I live.

00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:29.139
 That's their dilemma.

00:11:30.139 --> 00:11:31.039
 So it would be easy

00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:32.379
 to come to a passage like this

00:11:32.379 --> 00:11:32.779
 and think

00:11:32.779 --> 00:11:34.639
 how could this church do that?

00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.159
 How could they be so guilty

00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:39.120
 of such terrible sin?

00:11:39.899 --> 00:11:40.840
 And then you find out

00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:41.740
 what some of the men

00:11:41.740 --> 00:11:42.299
 in that church

00:11:42.299 --> 00:11:43.319
 probably were facing

00:11:43.319 --> 00:11:44.259
 was the very fact

00:11:44.259 --> 00:11:45.100
 of whether or not

00:11:45.100 --> 00:11:45.779
 they were going to be able

00:11:45.779 --> 00:11:47.019
 to put food on the table.

00:11:48.019 --> 00:11:49.159
 And is your worship

00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:51.419
 worth that type of struggle

00:11:51.419 --> 00:11:52.039
 in your life?

00:11:52.100 --> 00:11:53.059
 That's what they were facing.

00:11:54.059 --> 00:11:54.899
 Well let's think about

00:11:54.899 --> 00:11:56.019
 the Christ titles here.

00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.240
 Jesus in self-revelation

00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.039
 this is not the titles

00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:02.240
 that John is ascribing to Jesus

00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:03.539
 but Jesus is telling

00:12:03.539 --> 00:12:04.399
 through John

00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:05.559
 this is who I am.

00:12:06.539 --> 00:12:07.360
 He says

00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.120
 that he is the son of God

00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:10.559
 that he has eyes

00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:11.559
 like a flame of fire

00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:12.199
 and his feet

00:12:12.199 --> 00:12:13.639
 are like burnished bronze.

00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:14.639
 Well what is that all about?

00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:16.740
 Well it's partially

00:12:16.740 --> 00:12:17.439
 a polemic

00:12:17.439 --> 00:12:18.220
 against the culture

00:12:18.220 --> 00:12:18.939
 of Thyatira.

00:12:19.699 --> 00:12:21.120
 They worshipped Apollos

00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:22.000
 and the Caesars

00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:22.879
 who viewed themselves

00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:24.960
 as sons of gods.

00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:27.240
 Jesus comes to them

00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:28.759
 as the actual

00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:30.439
 son of God.

00:12:30.980 --> 00:12:33.019
 The one with true authority

00:12:33.019 --> 00:12:34.000
 over the people

00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:34.620
 and the cities

00:12:34.620 --> 00:12:35.659
 and the nations.

00:12:36.319 --> 00:12:37.480
 But these titles

00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:38.639
 are also an allusion

00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:41.340
 to two Old Testament texts.

00:12:41.340 --> 00:12:43.899
 One is a messianic psalm

00:12:43.899 --> 00:12:44.540
 Psalm 2

00:12:44.540 --> 00:12:46.740
 the other is a messianic prophecy

00:12:46.740 --> 00:12:49.460
 from Daniel chapter 10.

00:12:49.899 --> 00:12:51.720
 Now we emphasize messianic

00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:53.100
 because that's the purpose

00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:53.960
 of those passages

00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:55.340
 and that's why Jesus

00:12:55.340 --> 00:12:56.200
 is using them here.

00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:57.700
 Let me just read them to you.

00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:58.600
 Psalm chapter 2

00:12:58.600 --> 00:12:59.200
 and verse 7

00:12:59.200 --> 00:12:59.759
 says this

00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:01.060
 The Lord said to me

00:13:01.060 --> 00:13:02.440
 you are my son

00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:04.920
 today I have begotten you.

00:13:05.540 --> 00:13:06.600
 That is not a reference

00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:07.120
 to David.

00:13:07.620 --> 00:13:09.040
 That is a messianic psalm.

00:13:09.139 --> 00:13:09.720
 It's a reference

00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:11.120
 to the future king

00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:12.200
 that will come

00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:14.000
 the serpent slayer

00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:15.840
 from Genesis chapter 3

00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:17.080
 that will come

00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:18.860
 and will redeem his people.

00:13:19.259 --> 00:13:19.399
 Okay?

00:13:20.160 --> 00:13:20.899
 Then we see

00:13:20.899 --> 00:13:22.000
 in Daniel chapter 10

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:23.879
 again speaking

00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:24.960
 of this coming Messiah

00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:26.440
 his body was like barrel

00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:27.139
 his face

00:13:27.139 --> 00:13:28.379
 like the appearance

00:13:28.379 --> 00:13:28.960
 of lightning

00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:30.240
 his eyes

00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:31.759
 like flaming torches

00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:34.019
 his arms and legs

00:13:34.019 --> 00:13:34.899
 like the gleam

00:13:34.899 --> 00:13:36.379
 of burnished bronze.

00:13:37.379 --> 00:13:38.980
 So Jesus is using

00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:39.879
 the Old Testament

00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.100
 as his own self-revelation

00:13:42.100 --> 00:13:43.320
 here to basically

00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:44.120
 turn the minds

00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:44.639
 of the people

00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:45.820
 back to these passages

00:13:45.820 --> 00:13:46.460
 and to say

00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:47.720
 that's me

00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:49.420
 I am the son of God

00:13:49.420 --> 00:13:50.639
 I am the one

00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:51.600
 who is

00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:53.159
 who was

00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:54.220
 proclaimed to come.

00:13:55.420 --> 00:13:56.320
 Now that his eyes

00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:57.180
 are like flames

00:13:57.180 --> 00:13:57.779
 of fire

00:13:57.779 --> 00:13:59.700
 refers to his omniscience

00:13:59.700 --> 00:14:01.279
 that he sees all

00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:02.519
 that he knows

00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:03.480
 all things.

00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:04.899
 That his feet

00:14:04.899 --> 00:14:05.379
 are like

00:14:05.379 --> 00:14:06.560
 burnished bronze

00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:07.559
 probably has

00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:08.739
 somewhat to do

00:14:08.739 --> 00:14:09.479
 with the city

00:14:09.479 --> 00:14:10.299
 of Thyatira

00:14:10.299 --> 00:14:11.239
 and their businesses

00:14:11.239 --> 00:14:12.059
 and dealings

00:14:12.059 --> 00:14:13.579
 with metal work

00:14:13.579 --> 00:14:15.039
 but it also reflects

00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:16.879
 his absolute purity

00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:18.399
 especially

00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.339
 in terms of judgment.

00:14:21.459 --> 00:14:22.439
 Absolute purity

00:14:22.439 --> 00:14:24.199
 absolute righteousness

00:14:24.199 --> 00:14:26.159
 as the righteous judge.

00:14:26.719 --> 00:14:27.279
 So what is it

00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:28.079
 that Jesus wants

00:14:28.079 --> 00:14:28.939
 the Thyatirans

00:14:28.939 --> 00:14:29.399
 to know?

00:14:29.899 --> 00:14:31.219
 He wants the church

00:14:31.219 --> 00:14:31.739
 to know

00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:33.019
 that he

00:14:33.019 --> 00:14:34.799
 is the eternal king

00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:36.680
 who sees all

00:14:36.680 --> 00:14:38.279
 and perfectly

00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:40.320
 judges all.

00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:43.700
 He sees their hearts

00:14:43.700 --> 00:14:45.799
 he knows their sin

00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:47.700
 he knows their righteousness

00:14:47.700 --> 00:14:49.680
 and he will judge them

00:14:49.680 --> 00:14:51.060
 in righteousness

00:14:51.060 --> 00:14:53.080
 at his coming.

00:14:54.379 --> 00:14:55.639
 So whenever these

00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:57.159
 Christians were tempted

00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:58.000
 to participate

00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:00.000
 in the pagan rituals

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.379
 of their culture

00:15:01.379 --> 00:15:03.480
 they were to remember

00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:04.320
 who the true

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:05.379
 son of God is.

00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:08.419
 When facing

00:15:08.419 --> 00:15:08.980
 the threat

00:15:08.980 --> 00:15:09.779
 of persecution

00:15:09.779 --> 00:15:10.480
 from those

00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:11.440
 who demanded

00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:12.179
 their loyalty

00:15:12.179 --> 00:15:13.240
 they were to think

00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:13.759
 of Jesus

00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:14.460
 as the one

00:15:14.460 --> 00:15:15.220
 who will judge

00:15:15.220 --> 00:15:16.759
 the entire world

00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:18.059
 at his coming.

00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:20.399
 You see

00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:21.620
 the only way

00:15:21.620 --> 00:15:22.340
 we'll ever stay

00:15:22.340 --> 00:15:22.879
 the course

00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:23.700
 in this life

00:15:23.700 --> 00:15:25.019
 is to keep

00:15:25.019 --> 00:15:26.039
 our mind set

00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:26.759
 on the person

00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:27.340
 of Jesus.

00:15:27.340 --> 00:15:30.300
 no other

00:15:30.300 --> 00:15:30.940
 motivation

00:15:30.940 --> 00:15:31.480
 is ever going

00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:32.000
 to keep us

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:32.560
 from falling

00:15:32.560 --> 00:15:33.420
 into the sins

00:15:33.420 --> 00:15:34.700
 of idolatry

00:15:34.700 --> 00:15:35.500
 and immorality

00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:36.360
 as some of the people

00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:36.940
 in this church

00:15:36.940 --> 00:15:37.460
 were falling.

00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:39.100
 Why is it that

00:15:39.100 --> 00:15:40.160
 Jesus constantly

00:15:40.160 --> 00:15:41.420
 describes himself

00:15:41.420 --> 00:15:42.220
 he's constantly

00:15:42.220 --> 00:15:43.000
 with these churches

00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:44.220
 turning their eyes

00:15:44.220 --> 00:15:45.060
 to him

00:15:45.060 --> 00:15:46.280
 because he

00:15:46.280 --> 00:15:47.660
 is the motivation

00:15:47.660 --> 00:15:48.200
 we have.

00:15:48.580 --> 00:15:48.960
 He

00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:50.220
 is the one

00:15:50.220 --> 00:15:51.300
 who keeps us

00:15:51.300 --> 00:15:52.000
 on course.

00:15:53.780 --> 00:15:54.220
 Well let's look

00:15:54.220 --> 00:15:55.019
 at the commendation

00:15:55.019 --> 00:15:56.019
 here in verse 19

00:15:56.019 --> 00:15:58.000
 I know your works

00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:59.259
 your love

00:15:59.259 --> 00:15:59.960
 and faith

00:15:59.960 --> 00:16:01.399
 service

00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:02.840
 patient endurance

00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:04.659
 and that your

00:16:04.659 --> 00:16:05.740
 latter works

00:16:05.740 --> 00:16:07.500
 exceed the first.

00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:09.220
 Now works

00:16:09.220 --> 00:16:10.159
 throughout the Bible

00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:10.960
 is used in both

00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:11.819
 a broad

00:16:11.819 --> 00:16:12.960
 and a narrow sense.

00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:14.319
 Broadly

00:16:14.319 --> 00:16:15.759
 works can refer

00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:17.299
 to works

00:16:17.299 --> 00:16:17.879
 of faith

00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:18.360
 that is

00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:19.340
 referring to

00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:19.699
 the things

00:16:19.699 --> 00:16:20.500
 that we believe.

00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:21.779
 Works could refer

00:16:21.779 --> 00:16:22.500
 to things

00:16:22.500 --> 00:16:23.100
 that we do

00:16:23.100 --> 00:16:23.699
 as matters

00:16:23.699 --> 00:16:24.480
 of obedience

00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:25.420
 to the law.

00:16:26.019 --> 00:16:26.659
 Works could

00:16:26.659 --> 00:16:27.700
 refer to things

00:16:27.700 --> 00:16:28.180
 that we do

00:16:28.180 --> 00:16:28.940
 for others

00:16:28.940 --> 00:16:29.779
 and good works

00:16:29.779 --> 00:16:30.420
 and actionable

00:16:30.420 --> 00:16:31.500
 things that we do

00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:32.080
 in our lives.

00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:33.460
 Given the context

00:16:33.460 --> 00:16:34.360
 of this particular

00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:35.180
 passage though

00:16:35.180 --> 00:16:36.580
 Jesus is using

00:16:36.580 --> 00:16:37.039
 the term

00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:38.019
 narrowly

00:16:38.019 --> 00:16:39.420
 and he's referring

00:16:39.420 --> 00:16:40.240
 primarily

00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:41.560
 to outward

00:16:41.560 --> 00:16:42.180
 acts

00:16:42.180 --> 00:16:43.060
 of good

00:16:43.060 --> 00:16:44.580
 and that's

00:16:44.580 --> 00:16:45.460
 further supported

00:16:45.460 --> 00:16:46.180
 by the way

00:16:46.180 --> 00:16:46.820
 he describes

00:16:46.820 --> 00:16:47.360
 their works.

00:16:47.700 --> 00:16:48.000
 He says

00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:49.000
 I know your works

00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:49.899
 namely

00:16:49.899 --> 00:16:51.480
 your love

00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:53.019
 your faith

00:16:53.019 --> 00:16:53.600
 which could be

00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:54.039
 translated

00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:55.199
 faithfulness

00:16:55.199 --> 00:16:55.980
 faithfulness

00:16:55.980 --> 00:16:56.679
 to these works

00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:57.639
 your love

00:16:57.639 --> 00:16:58.299
 your faith

00:16:58.299 --> 00:16:59.500
 your service

00:16:59.500 --> 00:17:00.519
 your ministry

00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:02.120
 and your patient

00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:03.139
 endurance.

00:17:04.139 --> 00:17:05.000
 Now I want to suggest

00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:06.019
 that what Jesus

00:17:06.019 --> 00:17:07.019
 is really getting at

00:17:07.019 --> 00:17:08.079
 in this commendation

00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:09.039
 involves

00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:10.139
 primarily

00:17:10.139 --> 00:17:11.319
 mercy

00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:12.039
 ministry

00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:13.519
 acts

00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:14.539
 of good works

00:17:14.539 --> 00:17:15.000
 directed

00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:16.279
 toward other people

00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:17.200
 both inside

00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:17.720
 the church

00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:19.379
 and outside

00:17:19.379 --> 00:17:20.160
 of the church

00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:21.800
 so that despite

00:17:21.800 --> 00:17:23.000
 the severe sin

00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:23.620
 that Jesus

00:17:23.620 --> 00:17:24.380
 is about to

00:17:24.380 --> 00:17:24.740
 confront

00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:25.600
 in the congregation

00:17:25.600 --> 00:17:26.700
 he finds

00:17:26.700 --> 00:17:27.180
 that there were

00:17:27.180 --> 00:17:27.740
 some things

00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:28.180
 that they were

00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:28.500
 getting

00:17:28.500 --> 00:17:29.540
 exactly

00:17:29.540 --> 00:17:30.640
 right

00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:32.240
 and it wasn't

00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:32.840
 only that they

00:17:32.840 --> 00:17:33.300
 were getting

00:17:33.300 --> 00:17:33.860
 it right

00:17:33.860 --> 00:17:34.960
 but they were

00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:35.540
 growing

00:17:35.540 --> 00:17:37.120
 in the fruitfulness

00:17:37.120 --> 00:17:37.880
 of this kind

00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:38.860
 of loving service.

00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:40.040
 He says

00:17:40.040 --> 00:17:41.200
 their latter works

00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:42.420
 are even better

00:17:42.420 --> 00:17:44.420
 than their first works.

00:17:45.060 --> 00:17:45.880
 This is an amazing

00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:46.740
 thought from Jesus

00:17:46.740 --> 00:17:47.320
 isn't it?

00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:48.400
 That what he sees

00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:49.300
 as being true here

00:17:49.299 --> 00:17:50.119
 is that this church

00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:50.680
 is a church

00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:51.519
 of love

00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:53.579
 love for people

00:17:53.579 --> 00:17:55.240
 that comes

00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:55.960
 from a love

00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:57.139
 for Jesus.

00:17:58.700 --> 00:17:59.899
 In this sense

00:17:59.899 --> 00:18:00.539
 they are the

00:18:00.539 --> 00:18:02.240
 anti-Ephesus

00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:03.899
 the anti-type

00:18:03.899 --> 00:18:04.619
 of Ephesus.

00:18:05.299 --> 00:18:05.799
 Ephesus

00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:07.879
 had great discernment

00:18:07.879 --> 00:18:09.019
 but no love.

00:18:10.059 --> 00:18:10.720
 Thyatira

00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.639
 has great love

00:18:12.639 --> 00:18:14.460
 but no discernment.

00:18:15.339 --> 00:18:16.759
 Both circumstances

00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:17.519
 are a recipe

00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:18.519
 for a disaster

00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:19.420
 for any church

00:18:19.420 --> 00:18:20.339
 that sets us

00:18:20.339 --> 00:18:20.900
 on the path

00:18:20.900 --> 00:18:21.779
 to death.

00:18:22.980 --> 00:18:23.680
 Now I want you

00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:24.180
 to remember

00:18:24.180 --> 00:18:25.480
 that there is

00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:26.440
 no deceit

00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:27.759
 or guile

00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:28.500
 in Jesus

00:18:28.500 --> 00:18:29.220
 whatsoever.

00:18:30.420 --> 00:18:31.660
 He is perfectly

00:18:31.660 --> 00:18:32.759
 honest and just

00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:33.599
 in everything

00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:34.359
 that he says

00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:35.319
 and everything

00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:36.220
 that he does

00:18:36.220 --> 00:18:37.619
 which means

00:18:37.619 --> 00:18:38.319
 that we cannot

00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:39.000
 come to this

00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:39.759
 commendation

00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:41.160
 and pass it off

00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:41.680
 as if it's

00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:42.579
 a superficial

00:18:42.579 --> 00:18:43.700
 commendation

00:18:43.700 --> 00:18:44.359
 as if it's not

00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:45.559
 really as important

00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:46.639
 as what some

00:18:46.639 --> 00:18:47.799
 other commendation

00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:48.720
 might be

00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:49.679
 because that

00:18:49.679 --> 00:18:50.379
 would be to say

00:18:50.379 --> 00:18:50.799
 that there's

00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:51.200
 some type

00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:52.019
 of deceit

00:18:52.019 --> 00:18:53.019
 or guile

00:18:53.019 --> 00:18:53.539
 in Jesus

00:18:53.539 --> 00:18:54.179
 that cannot

00:18:54.179 --> 00:18:55.279
 possibly belong

00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:56.279
 to our perfect

00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:56.720
 Lord.

00:18:57.980 --> 00:18:59.139
 Now those of us

00:18:59.139 --> 00:18:59.639
 who are

00:18:59.639 --> 00:19:01.539
 particularly concerned

00:19:01.539 --> 00:19:02.440
 with doctrinal

00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:03.059
 clarity

00:19:03.059 --> 00:19:04.399
 and precision

00:19:04.399 --> 00:19:05.940
 and I am

00:19:05.940 --> 00:19:06.759
 one of them

00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:09.920
 we tend

00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:10.940
 to devalue

00:19:10.940 --> 00:19:11.680
 the importance

00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:12.359
 of acts

00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:13.160
 of service

00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:14.940
 and compassion

00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:15.660
 toward others.

00:19:17.859 --> 00:19:19.099
 We may even

00:19:19.099 --> 00:19:19.720
 snarl

00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:20.640
 a little bit

00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:22.460
 at those churches

00:19:22.460 --> 00:19:23.000
 that seem

00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:24.000
 a little extra

00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:25.059
 committed

00:19:25.059 --> 00:19:26.460
 to community

00:19:26.460 --> 00:19:27.140
 engagement

00:19:27.140 --> 00:19:28.920
 volunteering

00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:30.700
 caring for the

00:19:30.700 --> 00:19:31.259
 oppressed

00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:32.039
 and so on

00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:34.140
 and we need

00:19:34.140 --> 00:19:34.819
 to be careful

00:19:34.819 --> 00:19:36.659
 that we don't

00:19:36.659 --> 00:19:37.119
 diminish

00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:38.399
 what Jesus

00:19:38.399 --> 00:19:39.279
 values

00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:41.859
 and if you

00:19:41.859 --> 00:19:42.599
 find yourself

00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:43.579
 rightly committed

00:19:43.579 --> 00:19:44.259
 to doctrine

00:19:44.259 --> 00:19:45.559
 but rarely

00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:46.480
 engaging

00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:47.359
 in service

00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:48.039
 to others

00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:49.659
 your doctrine

00:19:49.659 --> 00:19:50.759
 isn't doing

00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:51.639
 what God

00:19:51.639 --> 00:19:52.419
 intends

00:19:52.419 --> 00:19:53.240
 for doctrine

00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:54.079
 to do.

00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:56.099
 It's not

00:19:56.099 --> 00:19:56.939
 meant to give

00:19:56.939 --> 00:19:57.980
 you a fat head

00:19:57.980 --> 00:19:58.839
 and an empty

00:19:58.839 --> 00:19:59.339
 heart.

00:20:00.379 --> 00:20:01.319
 The doctrine

00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:01.980
 and the things

00:20:01.980 --> 00:20:02.700
 that we believe

00:20:02.700 --> 00:20:03.559
 about God

00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:04.119
 and what his

00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:04.919
 desires are

00:20:04.919 --> 00:20:05.739
 for us

00:20:05.739 --> 00:20:06.839
 will motivate

00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:07.779
 us to action

00:20:07.779 --> 00:20:09.299
 and the overflow

00:20:09.299 --> 00:20:10.639
 of what we see

00:20:10.639 --> 00:20:11.259
 to be true

00:20:11.259 --> 00:20:11.799
 of God

00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:12.599
 and believe

00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:13.179
 to be true

00:20:13.179 --> 00:20:13.779
 of Christ

00:20:13.779 --> 00:20:14.919
 will overflow

00:20:14.919 --> 00:20:15.939
 into this

00:20:15.939 --> 00:20:16.879
 kind of love

00:20:16.879 --> 00:20:18.399
 that is exemplary

00:20:18.399 --> 00:20:19.259
 in the church

00:20:19.259 --> 00:20:20.539
 of Thyatira.

00:20:22.259 --> 00:20:22.859
 And isn't it

00:20:22.859 --> 00:20:23.719
 amazing also

00:20:23.719 --> 00:20:25.379
 that despite

00:20:25.379 --> 00:20:26.119
 their sin

00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:28.139
 Jesus still

00:20:28.139 --> 00:20:29.119
 commends them

00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:30.679
 on what's good

00:20:30.679 --> 00:20:31.939
 and right

00:20:31.940 --> 00:20:33.320
 and this

00:20:33.320 --> 00:20:33.779
 just shows

00:20:33.779 --> 00:20:34.160
 you how

00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:35.160
 un-Christ

00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:35.640
 like I

00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:36.120
 can be

00:20:36.120 --> 00:20:37.759
 because if

00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:38.220
 I'm looking

00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:38.680
 at a church

00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:39.600
 like Thyatira

00:20:39.600 --> 00:20:41.759
 out of spiritual

00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:42.259
 pride

00:20:42.259 --> 00:20:43.240
 there's nothing

00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:43.779
 good I will

00:20:43.779 --> 00:20:44.360
 ever find

00:20:44.360 --> 00:20:44.900
 in the church

00:20:44.900 --> 00:20:46.580
 not so with

00:20:46.580 --> 00:20:46.960
 Jesus.

00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:48.460
 It's amazing

00:20:48.460 --> 00:20:49.580
 this church

00:20:49.580 --> 00:20:50.500
 he's threatening

00:20:50.500 --> 00:20:51.900
 severe judgment

00:20:51.900 --> 00:20:52.740
 on this church

00:20:52.740 --> 00:20:53.840
 and yet before

00:20:53.840 --> 00:20:54.460
 he gets to

00:20:54.460 --> 00:20:54.920
 the judgment

00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:56.140
 he acknowledges

00:20:56.140 --> 00:20:57.140
 that there are

00:20:57.140 --> 00:20:57.799
 some things

00:20:57.799 --> 00:20:58.740
 that are good

00:20:58.740 --> 00:20:59.120
 there.

00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:01.220
 No one is

00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:02.120
 ever so just

00:21:02.120 --> 00:21:03.019
 as Jesus is.

00:21:04.380 --> 00:21:05.460
 He justly

00:21:05.460 --> 00:21:06.140
 condemns

00:21:06.140 --> 00:21:08.240
 and he justly

00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:09.140
 commends

00:21:09.140 --> 00:21:11.079
 something we'd

00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:11.559
 all do well

00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:12.160
 to acknowledge

00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:13.460
 and also mimic

00:21:13.460 --> 00:21:14.880
 his example

00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:16.980
 because the church

00:21:16.980 --> 00:21:17.660
 down the road

00:21:17.660 --> 00:21:18.480
 or the person

00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:19.279
 across the aisle

00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:20.000
 from you today

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:21.240
 they may have

00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:21.920
 some serious

00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:22.599
 issues that

00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:23.559
 must be confronted

00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:24.759
 but that's no

00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:25.440
 excuse for

00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:26.019
 ignoring

00:21:26.019 --> 00:21:27.380
 what's truly

00:21:27.380 --> 00:21:28.120
 good and right

00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:29.179
 in their lives

00:21:29.179 --> 00:21:30.979
 and can't

00:21:30.979 --> 00:21:31.799
 you be thankful

00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:32.479
 that this is

00:21:32.479 --> 00:21:33.019
 the way that

00:21:33.019 --> 00:21:33.859
 Jesus treats

00:21:33.859 --> 00:21:34.339
 you

00:21:34.339 --> 00:21:35.839
 the way he

00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:36.619
 treats us

00:21:36.619 --> 00:21:39.500
 let's look at

00:21:39.500 --> 00:21:40.019
 the complaint

00:21:40.019 --> 00:21:40.599
 verse 20

00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:42.799
 I have this

00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:43.359
 against you

00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:44.099
 Jesus says

00:21:44.099 --> 00:21:45.679
 that you

00:21:45.679 --> 00:21:46.579
 tolerate that

00:21:46.579 --> 00:21:47.619
 woman Jezebel

00:21:47.619 --> 00:21:48.979
 who calls

00:21:48.979 --> 00:21:49.539
 herself a

00:21:49.539 --> 00:21:50.239
 prophetess

00:21:50.239 --> 00:21:51.699
 and is teaching

00:21:51.699 --> 00:21:52.459
 and seducing

00:21:52.459 --> 00:21:53.119
 my servants

00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:53.819
 to practice

00:21:53.819 --> 00:21:55.439
 sexual immorality

00:21:55.439 --> 00:21:56.579
 and to eat

00:21:56.579 --> 00:21:56.979
 food

00:21:56.980 --> 00:21:58.200
 sacrificed

00:21:58.200 --> 00:21:59.400
 to idols

00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:01.079
 there's

00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:02.140
 two categories

00:22:02.140 --> 00:22:03.279
 of complaint

00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:04.000
 correction

00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:04.940
 and consequence

00:22:04.940 --> 00:22:07.360
 one is focused

00:22:07.360 --> 00:22:08.099
 on this

00:22:08.099 --> 00:22:09.319
 Jezebel figure

00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:10.960
 and the other

00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:11.500
 is focused

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:12.759
 on the church

00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:14.000
 as a whole

00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:15.000
 typically

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:16.380
 the faithful

00:22:16.380 --> 00:22:17.059
 that remain

00:22:17.059 --> 00:22:17.700
 in the church

00:22:17.700 --> 00:22:19.440
 the complaint

00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:20.480
 against Jezebel

00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:21.140
 has to do

00:22:21.140 --> 00:22:21.720
 with what she

00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:22.240
 is doing

00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:23.099
 and teaching

00:22:23.099 --> 00:22:23.980
 the complaint

00:22:23.980 --> 00:22:25.039
 against the church

00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:25.839
 is about

00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:26.740
 their tolerance

00:22:26.740 --> 00:22:28.139
 of Jezebel's

00:22:28.139 --> 00:22:28.740
 influence

00:22:28.740 --> 00:22:30.440
 so that even

00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:30.839
 though the

00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:31.940
 official position

00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:33.200
 of the congregation

00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:34.240
 was not in

00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:35.119
 alignment

00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:35.720
 with this

00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:36.420
 influencer

00:22:36.420 --> 00:22:37.899
 they allowed

00:22:37.899 --> 00:22:38.680
 her to continue

00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:39.200
 teaching

00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:40.539
 and seducing

00:22:40.539 --> 00:22:40.920
 the people

00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:41.519
 in the church

00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:42.839
 that's the synopsis

00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:43.279
 of the two

00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:43.980
 complaints here

00:22:43.980 --> 00:22:44.700
 now let's get

00:22:44.700 --> 00:22:45.200
 into the

00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:46.779
 details of it

00:22:46.779 --> 00:22:48.420
 just like the

00:22:48.420 --> 00:22:48.920
 sermon in

00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:49.460
 Pergamum

00:22:49.460 --> 00:22:51.519
 Jesus uses

00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:52.400
 an Old Testament

00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:53.100
 allusion

00:22:53.100 --> 00:22:54.680
 to express

00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:55.420
 his complaint

00:22:55.420 --> 00:22:56.980
 the woman

00:22:56.980 --> 00:22:59.000
 influencing

00:22:59.000 --> 00:22:59.660
 the church

00:22:59.660 --> 00:23:00.360
 in Thyatira

00:23:00.360 --> 00:23:01.319
 was not

00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:02.420
 named Jezebel

00:23:02.420 --> 00:23:03.860
 she was acting

00:23:03.860 --> 00:23:04.840
 like the infamous

00:23:04.840 --> 00:23:05.799
 Jezebel

00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:06.840
 of first and

00:23:06.840 --> 00:23:07.620
 second kings

00:23:07.620 --> 00:23:08.660
 and you can read

00:23:08.660 --> 00:23:09.380
 all about her

00:23:09.380 --> 00:23:09.840
 if you like

00:23:09.840 --> 00:23:10.220
 when you get

00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:11.240
 home today

00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:12.600
 Jezebel

00:23:12.600 --> 00:23:13.259
 was a

00:23:13.259 --> 00:23:13.819
 Phoenician

00:23:13.819 --> 00:23:14.299
 princess

00:23:14.299 --> 00:23:15.039
 who married

00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:15.740
 Ahab

00:23:15.740 --> 00:23:16.500
 who at the

00:23:16.500 --> 00:23:17.000
 time was

00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:17.319
 the king

00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:17.779
 of Israel

00:23:17.779 --> 00:23:18.579
 after it

00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:19.079
 had split

00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:19.599
 from Judah

00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:20.659
 so Ahab

00:23:20.659 --> 00:23:21.319
 is the king

00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:22.179
 of the northern

00:23:22.179 --> 00:23:22.579
 kingdom

00:23:22.579 --> 00:23:23.119
 the northern

00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:23.919
 ten tribes

00:23:23.919 --> 00:23:24.799
 and he marries

00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:25.480
 this Phoenician

00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:25.919
 princess

00:23:25.919 --> 00:23:26.879
 named Jezebel

00:23:26.879 --> 00:23:28.000
 who taught

00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:28.419
 the northern

00:23:28.419 --> 00:23:28.839
 kingdom

00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:29.980
 to worship

00:23:29.980 --> 00:23:30.759
 the Baals

00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:32.059
 and all that

00:23:32.059 --> 00:23:32.539
 came along

00:23:32.539 --> 00:23:32.859
 with that

00:23:32.859 --> 00:23:33.559
 kind of worship

00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:34.960
 she fought

00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:35.740
 against God's

00:23:35.740 --> 00:23:36.119
 prophets

00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:36.799
 you'll remember

00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:37.319
 the famous

00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:37.960
 story of

00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:38.699
 Elijah

00:23:38.699 --> 00:23:39.039
 and the

00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:39.399
 prophets

00:23:39.399 --> 00:23:40.000
 of Baal

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:41.279
 Jezebel

00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:42.279
 is intertwined

00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:42.839
 in all that's

00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:43.579
 happening there

00:23:43.579 --> 00:23:45.500
 she seduced

00:23:45.500 --> 00:23:45.980
 the people

00:23:45.980 --> 00:23:46.419
 into all

00:23:46.419 --> 00:23:46.839
 kinds of

00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:47.199
 sin

00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:49.080
 she did

00:23:49.080 --> 00:23:49.600
 not belong

00:23:49.600 --> 00:23:49.900
 to the

00:23:49.900 --> 00:23:50.140
 people

00:23:50.140 --> 00:23:50.660
 of God

00:23:50.660 --> 00:23:52.340
 but she

00:23:52.340 --> 00:23:53.319
 infiltrated

00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:54.559
 and led

00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:55.140
 people of

00:23:55.140 --> 00:23:55.480
 God

00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:56.360
 into

00:23:56.360 --> 00:23:57.160
 idolatry

00:23:57.160 --> 00:23:58.580
 such was

00:23:58.580 --> 00:23:59.000
 the case

00:23:59.000 --> 00:23:59.340
 with the

00:23:59.340 --> 00:23:59.559
 woman

00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:00.460
 in Thyatira

00:24:00.460 --> 00:24:02.019
 she might

00:24:02.019 --> 00:24:02.240
 have been

00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:02.559
 a part

00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:02.799
 of that

00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:03.640
 Nicolaitan

00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:03.980
 sex

00:24:03.980 --> 00:24:04.559
 which is

00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:04.980
 probably

00:24:04.980 --> 00:24:05.340
 what I

00:24:05.340 --> 00:24:05.640
 would say

00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:06.140
 she probably

00:24:06.140 --> 00:24:06.720
 identified

00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:07.100
 with

00:24:07.100 --> 00:24:07.700
 which we've

00:24:07.700 --> 00:24:08.120
 talked about

00:24:08.120 --> 00:24:08.700
 in Ephesus

00:24:08.700 --> 00:24:09.220
 and in

00:24:09.220 --> 00:24:09.799
 Pergamum

00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:11.000
 either way

00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:11.700
 she has

00:24:11.700 --> 00:24:12.380
 infiltrated

00:24:12.380 --> 00:24:12.819
 the people

00:24:12.819 --> 00:24:13.340
 of God

00:24:13.339 --> 00:24:14.059
 and she

00:24:14.059 --> 00:24:14.419
 is now

00:24:14.419 --> 00:24:15.019
 leading them

00:24:15.019 --> 00:24:15.579
 astray

00:24:15.579 --> 00:24:17.019
 and I want

00:24:17.019 --> 00:24:17.439
 you to notice

00:24:17.439 --> 00:24:17.799
 what she

00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:18.579
 calls herself

00:24:18.579 --> 00:24:19.000
 look back

00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:19.220
 at the

00:24:19.220 --> 00:24:19.579
 verse

00:24:19.579 --> 00:24:21.079
 you tolerate

00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:21.679
 that woman

00:24:21.679 --> 00:24:22.240
 Jezebel

00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:22.959
 who calls

00:24:22.959 --> 00:24:23.379
 herself

00:24:23.379 --> 00:24:23.980
 a what

00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:25.619
 a prophetess

00:24:25.619 --> 00:24:28.439
 she's claiming

00:24:28.439 --> 00:24:28.899
 that her

00:24:28.899 --> 00:24:29.519
 teaching

00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:30.759
 not only

00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:31.399
 contains

00:24:31.399 --> 00:24:31.839
 divine

00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:32.539
 revelation

00:24:32.539 --> 00:24:34.759
 but possesses

00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:35.299
 divine

00:24:35.299 --> 00:24:36.299
 authority

00:24:36.299 --> 00:24:38.179
 this is

00:24:38.179 --> 00:24:38.720
 significant

00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:39.319
 to this

00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:41.419
 the problem

00:24:41.419 --> 00:24:41.980
 of false

00:24:41.980 --> 00:24:42.619
 teaching

00:24:42.619 --> 00:24:43.740
 always

00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:45.159
 boils down

00:24:45.159 --> 00:24:45.519
 to the

00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:45.980
 issue

00:24:45.980 --> 00:24:46.539
 of

00:24:46.539 --> 00:24:46.939
 biblical

00:24:46.939 --> 00:24:48.099
 authority

00:24:48.099 --> 00:24:49.480
 always

00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:51.099
 the

00:24:51.099 --> 00:24:51.819
 Thyatiran

00:24:51.819 --> 00:24:52.460
 influencer

00:24:52.460 --> 00:24:53.200
 claimed to

00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:53.899
 speak for

00:24:53.899 --> 00:24:54.279
 God

00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:55.220
 and that

00:24:55.220 --> 00:24:55.819
 this new

00:24:55.819 --> 00:24:56.439
 revelation

00:24:56.439 --> 00:24:57.299
 or gnosis

00:24:57.299 --> 00:24:58.339
 or knowledge

00:24:58.339 --> 00:24:58.659
 that was

00:24:58.659 --> 00:24:59.179
 coming from

00:24:59.179 --> 00:24:59.579
 her

00:24:59.579 --> 00:25:00.740
 negated

00:25:00.740 --> 00:25:01.919
 and replaced

00:25:01.919 --> 00:25:02.679
 any

00:25:02.679 --> 00:25:03.539
 previous

00:25:03.539 --> 00:25:04.519
 revelation

00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:05.700
 so that

00:25:05.700 --> 00:25:06.019
 at any

00:25:06.019 --> 00:25:06.439
 point

00:25:06.439 --> 00:25:06.919
 that

00:25:06.919 --> 00:25:08.000
 Jezebel's

00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:08.399
 teaching

00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:09.220
 was in

00:25:09.220 --> 00:25:09.860
 conflict

00:25:09.860 --> 00:25:10.620
 with other

00:25:10.620 --> 00:25:11.160
 scriptures

00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:12.019
 her

00:25:12.019 --> 00:25:12.540
 position

00:25:12.540 --> 00:25:12.960
 as a

00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:13.519
 prophetess

00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:14.120
 would say

00:25:14.120 --> 00:25:15.060
 that my

00:25:15.060 --> 00:25:15.560
 teaching

00:25:15.560 --> 00:25:16.460
 absorbs

00:25:16.460 --> 00:25:16.780
 that

00:25:16.780 --> 00:25:16.980
 it

00:25:16.980 --> 00:25:17.580
 replaces

00:25:17.580 --> 00:25:17.840
 it

00:25:17.840 --> 00:25:18.220
 it

00:25:18.220 --> 00:25:18.820
 negates

00:25:18.820 --> 00:25:19.100
 it

00:25:19.100 --> 00:25:20.060
 this

00:25:20.060 --> 00:25:20.240
 is

00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:20.840
 always

00:25:20.840 --> 00:25:21.440
 the

00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:21.860
 problem

00:25:21.860 --> 00:25:22.440
 with

00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:22.700
 false

00:25:22.700 --> 00:25:23.160
 teaching

00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:23.700
 it

00:25:23.700 --> 00:25:24.040
 boils

00:25:24.040 --> 00:25:24.320
 down

00:25:24.320 --> 00:25:24.500
 to

00:25:24.500 --> 00:25:24.820
 this

00:25:24.820 --> 00:25:25.540
 and

00:25:25.540 --> 00:25:25.720
 it's

00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:25.920
 not

00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:26.140
 just

00:25:26.140 --> 00:25:26.300
 an

00:25:26.300 --> 00:25:26.560
 ancient

00:25:26.560 --> 00:25:27.019
 problem

00:25:27.019 --> 00:25:28.180
 at

00:25:28.180 --> 00:25:28.340
 the

00:25:28.340 --> 00:25:28.540
 heart

00:25:28.540 --> 00:25:28.700
 of

00:25:28.700 --> 00:25:29.340
 Mormonism

00:25:29.340 --> 00:25:30.120
 is

00:25:30.120 --> 00:25:30.280
 the

00:25:30.280 --> 00:25:30.840
 belief

00:25:30.840 --> 00:25:31.380
 that

00:25:31.380 --> 00:25:31.740
 God

00:25:31.740 --> 00:25:32.080
 gave

00:25:32.080 --> 00:25:32.620
 Joseph

00:25:32.620 --> 00:25:33.140
 Smith

00:25:33.140 --> 00:25:33.800
 a

00:25:33.800 --> 00:25:34.200
 new

00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:34.860
 revelation

00:25:34.860 --> 00:25:35.840
 that

00:25:35.840 --> 00:25:36.040
 is

00:25:36.040 --> 00:25:36.660
 superior

00:25:36.660 --> 00:25:37.280
 to

00:25:37.280 --> 00:25:37.920
 any

00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:38.560
 former

00:25:38.560 --> 00:25:39.180
 revelation

00:25:39.180 --> 00:25:39.580
 in the

00:25:39.580 --> 00:25:39.940
 Bible

00:25:39.940 --> 00:25:41.019
 so they

00:25:41.019 --> 00:25:41.360
 do not

00:25:41.360 --> 00:25:41.800
 deny

00:25:41.800 --> 00:25:42.039
 the

00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:42.380
 Bible

00:25:42.380 --> 00:25:43.140
 but

00:25:43.140 --> 00:25:43.300
 they

00:25:43.300 --> 00:25:43.600
 say

00:25:43.600 --> 00:25:43.880
 what

00:25:43.880 --> 00:25:44.440
 revelation

00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:44.980
 was given

00:25:44.980 --> 00:25:45.200
 to

00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:45.539
 Joseph

00:25:45.539 --> 00:25:45.960
 Smith

00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:46.720
 is

00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:47.320
 greater

00:25:47.320 --> 00:25:47.820
 than

00:25:47.820 --> 00:25:48.440
 and at

00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:48.800
 whatever

00:25:48.800 --> 00:25:49.140
 point

00:25:49.140 --> 00:25:49.300
 it

00:25:49.300 --> 00:25:49.860
 conflicts

00:25:49.860 --> 00:25:50.220
 with

00:25:50.220 --> 00:25:50.420
 the

00:25:50.420 --> 00:25:50.800
 scriptures

00:25:50.800 --> 00:25:51.539
 we

00:25:51.539 --> 00:25:52.019
 lean

00:25:52.019 --> 00:25:52.400
 to

00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:52.860
 Joseph

00:25:52.860 --> 00:25:53.200
 Smith

00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:53.539
 because

00:25:53.539 --> 00:25:53.700
 of

00:25:53.700 --> 00:25:53.840
 the

00:25:53.840 --> 00:25:54.259
 new

00:25:54.259 --> 00:25:55.259
 revelation

00:25:55.259 --> 00:25:56.240
 okay

00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:56.800
 it's

00:25:56.800 --> 00:25:57.120
 a battle

00:25:57.120 --> 00:25:57.340
 of

00:25:57.340 --> 00:25:57.620
 biblical

00:25:57.620 --> 00:25:58.580
 authority

00:25:58.580 --> 00:25:58.759
 and

00:25:58.759 --> 00:25:59.360
 inerrancy

00:25:59.360 --> 00:26:01.440
 the

 Roman

00:26:01.660 --> 00:26:02.160
 Catholic

00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:02.900
 Church

00:26:02.900 --> 00:26:03.120
 they

00:26:03.120 --> 00:26:03.300
 do

00:26:03.300 --> 00:26:03.480
 the

00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:03.700
 same

00:26:03.700 --> 00:26:04.080
 thing

00:26:04.080 --> 00:26:04.519
 with

00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:04.680
 the

 priority

 of

00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:05.980
 tradition

00:26:05.980 --> 00:26:06.580
 and

00:26:06.580 --> 00:26:06.720
 the

00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:07.660
 magisterium

00:26:07.660 --> 00:26:08.279
 that

00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:08.480
 has

00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:08.660
 the

00:26:08.660 --> 00:26:08.940
 final

00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:09.519
 word

00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:10.500
 over

00:26:10.500 --> 00:26:10.720
 the

00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:11.120
 scriptures

00:26:11.120 --> 00:26:12.860
 this

00:26:12.860 --> 00:26:13.120
 type

00:26:13.120 --> 00:26:13.279
 of

00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:13.560
 error

00:26:13.560 --> 00:26:13.820
 is

00:26:13.820 --> 00:26:14.200
 prominent

00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:14.440
 in

00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:14.580
 the

00:26:14.580 --> 00:26:14.940
 charismatic

00:26:14.940 --> 00:26:15.560
 movement

00:26:15.560 --> 00:26:16.040
 where

00:26:16.040 --> 00:26:16.180
 you

00:26:16.180 --> 00:26:16.380
 will

00:26:16.380 --> 00:26:16.900
 routinely

00:26:16.900 --> 00:26:17.240
 hear

00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:17.620
 things

00:26:17.620 --> 00:26:17.900
 like

00:26:17.900 --> 00:26:18.259
 I

00:26:18.259 --> 00:26:18.560
 know

00:26:18.560 --> 00:26:18.720
 what

00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:18.860
 the

00:26:18.860 --> 00:26:19.060
 Bible

00:26:19.060 --> 00:26:19.560
 says

00:26:19.560 --> 00:26:20.100
 but

00:26:20.100 --> 00:26:20.600
 God

00:26:20.600 --> 00:26:20.980
 told

00:26:20.980 --> 00:26:21.240
 me

00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:21.759
 to

00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:22.560
 fill

 anyone

00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:25.100
 is

00:26:25.100 --> 00:26:25.440
 telling

00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:25.900
 you

00:26:25.900 --> 00:26:26.680
 or

00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:27.200
 claiming

00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:27.519
 to

00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:27.960
 speak

00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:28.279
 for

00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:28.660
 God

00:26:28.660 --> 00:26:29.340
 without

00:26:29.340 --> 00:26:30.240
 expounding

00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:30.500
 the

00:26:30.500 --> 00:26:30.880
 scriptures

 they

00:26:31.820 --> 00:26:32.000
 are

00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:32.180
 a

00:26:32.180 --> 00:26:32.660
 false

00:26:32.660 --> 00:26:33.060
 teacher

00:26:33.060 --> 00:26:33.720
 that

00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:34.060
 must

00:26:34.060 --> 00:26:34.300
 be

00:26:34.300 --> 00:26:35.040
 excluded

00:26:35.040 --> 00:26:36.019
 not

00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:36.860
 tolerated

00:26:36.859 --> 00:26:38.219
 that's

00:26:38.219 --> 00:26:38.379
 the

00:26:38.379 --> 00:26:38.639
 issue

00:26:38.639 --> 00:26:38.859
 with

00:26:38.859 --> 00:26:39.079
 this

00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:39.699
 Jezebel

00:26:39.699 --> 00:26:40.639
 she's

00:26:40.639 --> 00:26:40.919
 coming

00:26:40.919 --> 00:26:41.139
 in

00:26:41.139 --> 00:26:41.359
 she's

00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:41.500
 saying

00:26:41.500 --> 00:26:41.719
 I'm

00:26:41.719 --> 00:26:41.879
 a

00:26:41.879 --> 00:26:42.659
 prophetess

00:26:42.659 --> 00:26:43.339
 and

00:26:43.339 --> 00:26:43.459
 you

00:26:43.459 --> 00:26:43.579
 need

00:26:43.579 --> 00:26:43.719
 to

00:26:43.719 --> 00:26:43.939
 listen

00:26:43.939 --> 00:26:44.119
 to

00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:44.279
 me

00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:44.539
 because

00:26:44.539 --> 00:26:44.759
 I'm

00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:45.079
 speaking

00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:45.379
 for

00:26:45.379 --> 00:26:45.679
 God

00:26:45.679 --> 00:26:47.500
 now

00:26:47.500 --> 00:26:47.699
 what

00:26:47.699 --> 00:26:47.839
 she

00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:48.039
 was

00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:48.359
 teaching

00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:48.639
 most

00:26:48.639 --> 00:26:49.039
 likely

00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:49.279
 had

00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:49.399
 to

00:26:49.399 --> 00:26:49.579
 do

00:26:49.579 --> 00:26:49.799
 with

00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:50.139
 this

00:26:50.139 --> 00:26:51.019
 dilemma

00:26:51.019 --> 00:26:51.279
 with

00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:51.419
 the

00:26:51.419 --> 00:26:51.719
 trade

00:26:51.719 --> 00:26:52.859
 guilds

00:26:52.859 --> 00:26:54.159
 claiming

00:26:54.159 --> 00:26:54.519
 some

00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:54.819
 type

00:26:54.819 --> 00:26:55.000
 of

00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:55.459
 special

00:26:55.459 --> 00:26:56.039
 knowledge

00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:56.799
 she

00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:57.159
 led

00:26:57.159 --> 00:26:57.339
 the

00:26:57.339 --> 00:26:57.740
 believers

00:26:57.740 --> 00:26:58.079
 to

00:26:58.079 --> 00:26:58.639
 embrace

00:26:58.639 --> 00:26:58.859
 the

00:26:58.859 --> 00:26:59.639
 idolatry

00:26:59.639 --> 00:27:00.379
 and

00:27:00.379 --> 00:27:00.500
 the

00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:01.099
 immorality

00:27:01.099 --> 00:27:01.299
 of

00:27:01.299 --> 00:27:01.459
 their

00:27:01.459 --> 00:27:01.979
 culture

00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:03.259
 while

00:27:03.259 --> 00:27:03.620
 trying

00:27:03.620 --> 00:27:03.860
 to

00:27:03.860 --> 00:27:04.539
 maintain

00:27:04.539 --> 00:27:05.420
 a

00:27:05.420 --> 00:27:05.740
 Christian

00:27:05.740 --> 00:27:06.240
 identity

00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:07.299
 this

00:27:07.299 --> 00:27:07.400
 is

00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:07.539
 why

00:27:07.539 --> 00:27:07.700
 we

00:27:07.700 --> 00:27:07.900
 call

00:27:07.900 --> 00:27:08.019
 it

00:27:08.019 --> 00:27:08.500
 compromise

00:27:08.500 --> 00:27:10.039
 because

00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:10.259
 it's

00:27:10.259 --> 00:27:10.440
 not

00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:10.579
 a

00:27:10.579 --> 00:27:10.900
 complete

00:27:10.900 --> 00:27:11.259
 turning

00:27:11.259 --> 00:27:11.599
 away

00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:15.460
 from

00:27:15.460 --> 00:27:16.019
 Christianity

00:27:16.019 --> 00:27:17.099
 it is

00:27:17.099 --> 00:27:17.440
 a type

00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:17.579
 of

00:27:17.579 --> 00:27:18.220
 syncretism

00:27:18.220 --> 00:27:18.839
 where

00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:18.960
 they

00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:19.180
 want

00:27:19.180 --> 00:27:19.319
 to

00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:19.559
 be

00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:20.140
 named

00:27:20.140 --> 00:27:20.380
 as

00:27:20.380 --> 00:27:20.720
 Christians

00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:20.880
 they

00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:21.019
 want

00:27:21.019 --> 00:27:21.180
 to

00:27:21.180 --> 00:27:21.440
 carry

00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:21.640
 the

00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:22.079
 identity

00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:22.339
 of

00:27:22.339 --> 00:27:22.819
 Christianity

00:27:22.819 --> 00:27:23.440
 but

00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:23.579
 they

00:27:23.579 --> 00:27:23.700
 want

00:27:23.700 --> 00:27:23.799
 to

00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:24.240
 embrace

 around

00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:25.240
 them

00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:25.420
 all

 same

00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:26.160
 time

00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:27.839
 and

 she's

00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:30.099
 offering

00:27:30.099 --> 00:27:30.299
 them

00:27:30.299 --> 00:27:30.440
 a

 their

00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:31.680
 dilemma

00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:34.079
 why

00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:34.899
 would

00:27:34.899 --> 00:27:35.039
 you

00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:35.319
 not

 will

00:28:16.740 --> 00:28:16.980
 lead

00:28:16.980 --> 00:28:17.299
 us

00:28:17.299 --> 00:28:18.120
 to

00:28:18.120 --> 00:28:18.580
 forsake

00:28:18.580 --> 00:28:18.759
 the

00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:19.140
 gospel

00:28:19.140 --> 00:28:19.840
 altogether

00:28:19.840 --> 00:28:22.060
 and

00:28:22.060 --> 00:28:22.200
 we

00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:22.400
 may

00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:22.920
 embrace

00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:23.100
 the

00:28:23.100 --> 00:28:23.440
 world's

00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:24.259
 philosophies

00:28:24.259 --> 00:28:25.000
 with

00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:25.420
 Christian

00:28:25.420 --> 00:28:26.120
 terminology

00:28:26.120 --> 00:28:27.200
 but

00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:27.360
 we

00:28:27.360 --> 00:28:27.539
 will

00:28:27.539 --> 00:28:27.700
 not

00:28:27.700 --> 00:28:27.880
 be

00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:28.320
 Christian

00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:30.059
 and

00:28:30.059 --> 00:28:30.220
 this

00:28:30.220 --> 00:28:30.359
 is

00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:30.539
 a

00:28:30.539 --> 00:28:31.079
 serious

00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:31.439
 kind

00:28:31.439 --> 00:28:31.579
 of

00:28:31.579 --> 00:28:32.059
 compromise

00:28:32.059 --> 00:28:33.079
 that

00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:33.500
 will

00:28:33.500 --> 00:28:34.019
 kill

00:28:34.019 --> 00:28:34.720
 a

00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:35.139
 church

00:28:35.139 --> 00:28:36.220
 and

00:28:36.220 --> 00:28:36.359
 how

00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:36.439
 do

00:28:36.439 --> 00:28:36.559
 we

00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:36.700
 see

00:28:36.700 --> 00:28:36.899
 this

00:28:36.899 --> 00:28:37.220
 playing

00:28:37.220 --> 00:28:37.539
 out

00:28:37.539 --> 00:28:40.079
 we

00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:40.319
 see

00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:40.599
 this

00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:40.720
 in

00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:40.819
 the

00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:41.059
 way

00:28:41.059 --> 00:28:41.279
 that

00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:41.519
 some

00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:41.919
 churches

00:28:41.919 --> 00:28:42.159
 are

00:28:42.159 --> 00:28:42.819
 embracing

00:28:42.819 --> 00:28:43.159
 the

00:28:43.159 --> 00:28:43.539
 sexual

00:28:43.539 --> 00:28:44.159
 revolution

00:28:44.159 --> 00:28:44.539
 of our

00:28:44.539 --> 00:28:44.980
 culture

00:28:44.980 --> 00:28:47.500
 where they

00:28:47.500 --> 00:28:47.839
 want to

00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:48.159
 try to

00:28:48.159 --> 00:28:48.539
 hang on

00:28:48.539 --> 00:28:48.819
 to their

00:28:48.819 --> 00:28:49.419
 Christianity

00:28:49.419 --> 00:28:49.859
 while

00:28:49.859 --> 00:28:50.859
 endorsing

00:28:50.859 --> 00:28:52.079
 the

00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:52.899
 word

00:28:52.899 --> 00:28:53.079
 would

00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:53.219
 be

00:28:53.219 --> 00:28:54.159
 affirming

00:28:54.159 --> 00:28:55.079
 things

00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:55.240
 that

00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:55.399
 the

00:28:55.399 --> 00:28:55.679
 Bible

00:28:55.679 --> 00:28:56.179
 clearly

00:28:56.179 --> 00:28:56.599
 stands

00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:57.219
 against

00:28:57.219 --> 00:28:57.919
 it

00:28:57.919 --> 00:28:58.319
 doesn't

00:28:58.319 --> 00:28:58.819
 work

00:28:58.819 --> 00:28:59.979
 and

00:28:59.979 --> 00:29:00.119
 if

00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:00.219
 you

00:29:00.219 --> 00:29:00.559
 try

00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:00.719
 to

00:29:00.719 --> 00:29:00.879
 do

00:29:00.879 --> 00:29:01.059
 that

00:29:01.059 --> 00:29:01.259
 even

00:29:01.259 --> 00:29:01.459
 with

00:29:01.459 --> 00:29:01.619
 the

00:29:01.619 --> 00:29:01.939
 best

00:29:01.939 --> 00:29:02.059
 of

00:29:02.059 --> 00:29:02.500
 intentions

00:29:02.500 --> 00:29:03.000
 if

00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:03.099
 you

00:29:03.099 --> 00:29:03.339
 begin

00:29:03.339 --> 00:29:03.519
 to

00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:03.699
 try

00:29:03.699 --> 00:29:03.859
 to

00:29:03.859 --> 00:29:04.019
 do

00:29:04.019 --> 00:29:04.359
 that

00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:04.699
 it

00:29:04.699 --> 00:29:04.899
 means

00:29:04.899 --> 00:29:05.039
 that

00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:05.179
 you're

00:29:05.179 --> 00:29:05.279
 going

00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:05.399
 to

00:29:05.399 --> 00:29:05.719
 stop

00:29:05.719 --> 00:29:06.119
 calling

00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:06.579
 sinners

00:29:06.579 --> 00:29:06.819
 to

00:29:06.819 --> 00:29:07.240
 repentance

00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:07.819
 and

00:29:07.819 --> 00:29:07.939
 if

00:29:07.939 --> 00:29:08.059
 you

00:29:08.059 --> 00:29:08.439
 stop

00:29:08.439 --> 00:29:08.799
 calling

00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:09.159
 sinners

00:29:09.159 --> 00:29:09.379
 to

00:29:09.379 --> 00:29:09.799
 repentance

00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:10.399
 then

00:29:10.399 --> 00:29:10.639
 you'll

00:29:10.639 --> 00:29:10.879
 tell

00:29:10.879 --> 00:29:11.079
 them

00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:11.240
 that

00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:11.379
 they

00:29:11.379 --> 00:29:11.719
 really

00:29:11.719 --> 00:29:12.000
 have

00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:12.199
 no

00:29:12.199 --> 00:29:12.459
 need

00:29:12.459 --> 00:29:12.659
 for

00:29:12.659 --> 00:29:12.859
 a

00:29:12.859 --> 00:29:13.199
 savior

00:29:13.199 --> 00:29:13.779
 and

00:29:13.779 --> 00:29:13.899
 if

00:29:13.899 --> 00:29:14.059
 you're

00:29:14.059 --> 00:29:14.359
 telling

00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:14.519
 them

00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:14.659
 that

00:29:14.659 --> 00:29:14.779
 they

00:29:14.779 --> 00:29:14.959
 have

00:29:14.959 --> 00:29:15.119
 no

00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:15.299
 need

00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:15.459
 for

00:29:15.459 --> 00:29:15.639
 a

00:29:15.639 --> 00:29:15.899
 savior

00:29:15.899 --> 00:29:16.500
 you've

00:29:16.500 --> 00:29:16.819
 lost

00:29:16.819 --> 00:29:17.039
 the

00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:17.500
 gospel

00:29:17.500 --> 00:29:19.279
 you

00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:19.459
 can

00:29:19.459 --> 00:29:19.659
 have

00:29:19.659 --> 00:29:19.899
 all

00:29:19.899 --> 00:29:20.099
 the

00:29:20.099 --> 00:29:20.419
 works

00:29:20.419 --> 00:29:20.639
 that

00:29:20.639 --> 00:29:21.199
 Thyatira

00:29:21.199 --> 00:29:21.619
 had

00:29:21.619 --> 00:29:22.859
 you

00:29:22.859 --> 00:29:23.019
 can

00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:23.199
 have

00:29:23.199 --> 00:29:23.419
 all

00:29:23.419 --> 00:29:23.639
 the

00:29:23.639 --> 00:29:24.179
 spiritual

00:29:24.179 --> 00:29:24.919
 emotion

00:29:24.919 --> 00:29:25.559
 and

00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:26.319
 fervor

00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:26.719
 that

00:29:26.719 --> 00:29:26.919
 you've

00:29:26.919 --> 00:29:27.379
 always

00:29:27.379 --> 00:29:27.740
 have

00:29:27.740 --> 00:29:27.919
 but

00:29:27.919 --> 00:29:28.059
 if

00:29:28.059 --> 00:29:28.179
 you

00:29:28.179 --> 00:29:28.619
 lose

00:29:28.619 --> 00:29:28.839
 the

00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:29.319
 gospel

00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:30.139
 you're

00:29:30.139 --> 00:29:30.619
 dead

00:29:30.619 --> 00:29:32.279
 and

00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:32.719
 that's

00:29:32.719 --> 00:29:32.859
 what

00:29:32.859 --> 00:29:33.019
 was

00:29:33.019 --> 00:29:33.419
 happening

00:29:33.419 --> 00:29:33.619
 in

00:29:33.619 --> 00:29:34.299
 Thyatira

00:29:34.299 --> 00:29:34.779
 and

00:29:34.779 --> 00:29:35.179
 that's

00:29:35.179 --> 00:29:35.319
 what

00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:35.500
 will

00:29:35.500 --> 00:29:35.819
 happen

00:29:35.819 --> 00:29:36.019
 to

00:29:36.019 --> 00:29:36.339
 us

00:29:36.339 --> 00:29:36.519
 if

00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:36.819
 we

00:29:36.819 --> 00:29:37.579
 fall

00:29:37.579 --> 00:29:37.819
 into

00:29:37.819 --> 00:29:38.099
 this

00:29:38.099 --> 00:29:38.459
 kind

00:29:38.459 --> 00:29:38.779
 of

00:29:38.779 --> 00:29:39.979
 compromise

00:29:39.979 --> 00:29:40.939
 now

00:29:40.939 --> 00:29:41.359
 notice

00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:43.879
 that

00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:44.280
 Jesus

00:29:44.280 --> 00:29:44.860
 fully

00:29:44.860 --> 00:29:45.440
 claims

00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:45.720
 these

00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:46.140
 people

00:29:46.140 --> 00:29:46.420
 whom

00:29:46.420 --> 00:29:46.860
 Jezebel

00:29:46.860 --> 00:29:47.120
 was

00:29:47.120 --> 00:29:47.400
 leading

00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:47.900
 astray

00:29:47.900 --> 00:29:49.000
 as

00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:49.160
 his

00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:49.440
 own

00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:50.320
 isn't

00:29:50.320 --> 00:29:50.480
 that

00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:50.880
 interesting

00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:52.180
 look

00:29:52.180 --> 00:29:52.460
 back at

00:29:52.460 --> 00:29:52.560
 the

 belongs

00:30:14.020 --> 00:30:14.260
 to

00:30:14.260 --> 00:30:14.760
 Christ

00:30:14.760 --> 00:30:15.860
 to

00:30:15.860 --> 00:30:16.220
 fall

00:30:16.220 --> 00:30:16.480
 into

00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:17.360
 idolatry

00:30:17.360 --> 00:30:18.200
 and

00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:18.680
 sexual

00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:19.420
 immorality

00:30:19.420 --> 00:30:20.540
 like

00:30:20.540 --> 00:30:20.780
 these

00:30:20.780 --> 00:30:21.060
 people

00:30:21.060 --> 00:30:21.360
 did

00:30:21.360 --> 00:30:21.840
 here

00:30:21.840 --> 00:30:23.640
 we

00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:23.840
 have

00:30:23.840 --> 00:30:23.980
 to

00:30:23.980 --> 00:30:24.240
 say

00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:25.320
 yes

00:30:25.320 --> 00:30:27.560
 because

00:30:27.560 --> 00:30:27.960
 Jesus

00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:28.680
 said

00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:29.700
 yes

00:30:29.700 --> 00:30:33.120
 and

00:30:33.120 --> 00:30:33.260
 what

00:30:33.260 --> 00:30:33.420
 we'll

00:30:33.420 --> 00:30:33.780
 find

00:30:33.780 --> 00:30:33.960
 is

00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:34.240
 that

00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:34.900
 it's

00:30:34.900 --> 00:30:35.220
 not

00:30:35.220 --> 00:30:35.560
 the

00:30:35.560 --> 00:30:36.020
 act

00:30:36.020 --> 00:30:36.460
 of

00:30:36.460 --> 00:30:36.860
 sin

00:30:36.860 --> 00:30:38.360
 that

00:30:38.360 --> 00:30:38.700
 says

00:30:38.700 --> 00:30:38.860
 we're

00:30:38.860 --> 00:30:39.020
 not

00:30:39.020 --> 00:30:39.160
 a

00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:39.500
 Christian

00:30:39.500 --> 00:30:41.220
 it's

00:30:41.220 --> 00:30:41.380
 the

00:30:41.380 --> 00:30:41.800
 refusal

00:30:41.800 --> 00:30:42.140
 to

00:30:42.140 --> 00:30:42.560
 repent

00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:43.500
 that

00:30:43.500 --> 00:30:43.720
 says

00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:43.879
 we're

00:30:43.879 --> 00:30:44.019
 not

00:30:44.019 --> 00:30:44.159
 a

00:30:44.159 --> 00:30:44.480
 Christian

00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:45.099
 that's

00:30:45.099 --> 00:30:45.240
 the

00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:45.619
 distinction

00:30:45.619 --> 00:30:45.859
 we're

00:30:45.859 --> 00:30:46.000
 going to

00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:46.240
 get to

00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:46.399
 that

00:30:46.399 --> 00:30:46.619
 again

00:30:46.619 --> 00:30:46.759
 in

00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:46.919
 just

00:30:46.919 --> 00:30:47.059
 a

00:30:47.059 --> 00:30:47.319
 moment

00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:47.839
 but

00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:48.059
 let's

00:30:48.059 --> 00:30:48.220
 think

00:30:48.220 --> 00:30:48.399
 about

00:30:48.399 --> 00:30:48.579
 this

00:30:48.579 --> 00:30:48.720
 for

00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:48.919
 just

00:30:48.919 --> 00:30:49.039
 a

00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:49.319
 moment

00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:49.879
 what

00:30:49.879 --> 00:30:50.099
 will

00:30:50.099 --> 00:30:50.519
 cause

00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:50.859
 us

00:30:50.859 --> 00:30:51.019
 to

00:30:51.019 --> 00:30:51.339
 fall

00:30:51.339 --> 00:30:51.579
 into

00:30:51.579 --> 00:30:51.980
 something

00:30:51.980 --> 00:30:52.339
 like

00:30:52.339 --> 00:30:52.819
 this

00:30:52.819 --> 00:30:54.379
 spiritual

00:30:54.379 --> 00:30:54.740
 pride

00:30:54.740 --> 00:30:54.980
 has

00:30:54.980 --> 00:30:55.220
 to be

00:30:55.220 --> 00:30:55.440
 part

00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:55.500
 of

00:30:55.500 --> 00:30:55.619
 the

00:30:55.619 --> 00:30:55.940
 answer

00:30:55.940 --> 00:30:56.279
 right

00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:58.539
 we

00:30:58.539 --> 00:30:58.899
 think

00:30:58.899 --> 00:30:59.099
 that

00:30:59.099 --> 00:30:59.359
 maybe

00:30:59.359 --> 00:30:59.619
 we're

00:30:59.619 --> 00:31:00.019
 above

00:31:00.019 --> 00:31:00.759
 compromising

00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:01.240
 truth

00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:01.399
 and

00:31:01.399 --> 00:31:01.799
 righteousness

00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:02.119
 in

00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:02.299
 this

00:31:02.299 --> 00:31:02.500
 way

00:31:02.500 --> 00:31:02.679
 but

00:31:02.679 --> 00:31:02.899
 then

00:31:02.899 --> 00:31:03.619
 Galatians

00:31:03.619 --> 00:31:04.000
 5

00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:04.279
 makes

00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:04.419
 it

00:31:04.419 --> 00:31:04.779
 clear

00:31:04.779 --> 00:31:05.299
 that

00:31:05.299 --> 00:31:05.480
 there

00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:05.639
 is

00:31:05.639 --> 00:31:05.859
 this

00:31:05.859 --> 00:31:06.299
 spiritual

00:31:06.299 --> 00:31:06.939
 war

00:31:06.939 --> 00:31:08.039
 raging

00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:09.000
 inside

00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:09.279
 of us

00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:09.419
 it's

00:31:09.419 --> 00:31:09.599
 a

00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:09.979
 war

00:31:09.979 --> 00:31:10.599
 between

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:10.839
 the

00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:11.139
 spirit

00:31:11.139 --> 00:31:11.319
 of

00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:11.679
 God

00:31:11.679 --> 00:31:12.139
 and

00:31:12.139 --> 00:31:12.299
 the

00:31:12.299 --> 00:31:12.539
 spirit

00:31:12.539 --> 00:31:12.659
 of

00:31:12.659 --> 00:31:12.799
 our

00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:13.399
 flesh

00:31:13.399 --> 00:31:15.159
 and

00:31:15.159 --> 00:31:15.319
 the

00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:15.599
 spirit

00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:15.779
 of

00:31:15.779 --> 00:31:16.059
 God

00:31:16.059 --> 00:31:16.279
 does

00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:16.459
 his

00:31:16.459 --> 00:31:16.979
 sanctifying

00:31:16.979 --> 00:31:17.279
 work

00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:17.559
 through

00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:18.119
 the

00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:18.359
 word

00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:18.539
 of

00:31:18.539 --> 00:31:18.819
 God

00:31:18.819 --> 00:31:19.000
 so

00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:19.139
 at

00:31:19.139 --> 00:31:19.299
 the

00:31:19.299 --> 00:31:19.599
 moment

00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:19.779
 that

00:31:19.779 --> 00:31:19.919
 we

00:31:19.919 --> 00:31:20.199
 begin

00:31:20.199 --> 00:31:20.399
 to

00:31:20.399 --> 00:31:20.939
 abandon

00:31:20.939 --> 00:31:21.199
 the

00:31:21.199 --> 00:31:21.439
 word

00:31:21.439 --> 00:31:21.599
 of

00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:21.879
 God

00:31:21.879 --> 00:31:22.279
 we

00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:22.819
 effectively

00:31:22.819 --> 00:31:23.639
 silence

00:31:23.639 --> 00:31:23.859
 the

00:31:23.859 --> 00:31:24.159
 spirit

00:31:24.159 --> 00:31:24.339
 of

00:31:24.339 --> 00:31:24.659
 God

00:31:24.659 --> 00:31:25.079
 in

00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:25.399
 order

00:31:25.399 --> 00:31:25.599
 that

00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:25.759
 we

00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:26.000
 might

00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:26.419
 follow

00:31:26.419 --> 00:31:26.719
 after

00:31:26.719 --> 00:31:26.919
 the

00:31:26.919 --> 00:31:27.179
 spirit

00:31:27.179 --> 00:31:27.319
 of

00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:27.459
 our

00:31:27.459 --> 00:31:27.659
 own

00:31:27.659 --> 00:31:28.019
 flesh

00:31:28.019 --> 00:31:28.039
!

00:31:28.339 --> 00:31:28.359
 And

00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:28.599
 before

00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:28.799
 we

00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:29.039
 know

00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:29.240
 it

00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:29.400
 we

00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:29.420
 are

00:31:29.420 --> 00:31:29.579
 a

00:31:29.579 --> 00:31:29.880
 Christian

00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:30.079
 that

00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:30.299
 lives

00:31:30.299 --> 00:31:30.680
 nothing

00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:30.960
 like

00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:31.120
 a

00:31:31.120 --> 00:31:31.480
 Christian

00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:33.759
 and

00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:33.880
 we

00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:34.059
 need

00:31:34.059 --> 00:31:34.160
 to

00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:34.299
 be

00:31:34.299 --> 00:31:34.700
 mindful

00:31:34.700 --> 00:31:34.980
 of

00:31:34.980 --> 00:31:35.220
 it

00:31:35.220 --> 00:31:36.559
 let's

00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:36.680
 look

00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:36.759
 at

00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:36.880
 the

00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:37.299
 correction

00:31:37.299 --> 00:31:37.539
 and

00:31:37.539 --> 00:31:38.019
 consequence

00:31:38.019 --> 00:31:39.640
 so

00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:39.900
 again

00:31:39.900 --> 00:31:40.240
 Jesus

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:40.579
 is

00:31:40.579 --> 00:31:41.259
 providing

00:31:41.259 --> 00:31:41.539
 two

00:31:41.539 --> 00:31:41.799
 different

00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:42.339
 dynamics

00:31:42.339 --> 00:31:42.620
 of

00:31:42.620 --> 00:31:43.099
 corrections

00:31:43.099 --> 00:31:44.359
 the

00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:44.720
 first

00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:44.960
 one

00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:45.359
 is

00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:45.559
 to

00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:46.160
 Jezebel

00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:46.420
 the

00:31:46.420 --> 00:31:46.759
 second

00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:47.079
 one

00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:47.759
 is

00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:48.039
 to

00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:48.299
 the

00:31:48.299 --> 00:31:48.579
 rest

00:31:48.579 --> 00:31:48.700
 of

00:31:48.700 --> 00:31:48.799
 the

00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:49.019
 people

00:31:49.019 --> 00:31:49.180
 in

00:31:49.180 --> 00:31:49.319
 the

00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:49.779
 church

00:31:49.779 --> 00:31:50.900
 and

00:31:50.900 --> 00:31:51.019
 we

00:31:51.019 --> 00:31:51.039
 are

00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:51.120
 going

00:31:51.120 --> 00:31:51.220
 to

00:31:51.220 --> 00:31:51.359
 deal

00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:51.480
 with

00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:51.620
 them

00:31:51.620 --> 00:31:52.019
 separately

00:31:52.019 --> 00:31:52.539
 but

00:31:52.539 --> 00:31:52.660

00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:47.579
 and

00:33:47.579 --> 00:33:47.819
 because

00:33:47.819 --> 00:33:48.120
 they

00:33:48.120 --> 00:33:48.519
 refused

00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:48.680
 to

00:33:48.680 --> 00:33:49.079
 repent

00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:50.240
 Jesus

00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:50.539
 was

00:33:50.539 --> 00:33:50.779
 going

00:33:50.779 --> 00:33:50.980
 to

00:33:50.980 --> 00:33:51.519
 afflict

00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:52.099
 her

00:33:52.099 --> 00:33:52.420
 and

00:33:52.420 --> 00:33:52.599
 her

00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:53.200
 followers

00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:53.200


00:33:56.740 --> 00:33:57.519
 he's

00:33:57.519 --> 00:33:57.620
 going

00:33:57.620 --> 00:33:57.720
 to

00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:57.920
 throw

00:33:57.920 --> 00:33:58.120
 her

00:33:58.120 --> 00:33:58.440
 onto

00:33:58.440 --> 00:33:58.720
 a

00:33:58.720 --> 00:33:59.120
 sick

00:33:59.120 --> 00:33:59.720
 bed

00:33:59.720 --> 00:33:59.980
 and

00:33:59.980 --> 00:34:00.120
 then

00:34:00.120 --> 00:34:00.259
 at

00:34:00.259 --> 00:34:00.400
 the

00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:00.680
 end

00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:01.339
 they

00:34:01.339 --> 00:34:01.519
 will

00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:01.700
 all

00:34:01.700 --> 00:34:01.900
 be

00:34:01.900 --> 00:34:02.339
 struck

00:34:02.339 --> 00:34:03.460
 dead

00:34:03.460 --> 00:34:05.160
 now

00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:05.299
 this

00:34:05.299 --> 00:34:05.599
 judgment

00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:05.900
 seems

00:34:05.900 --> 00:34:06.319
 harsh

00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:06.620
 doesn't

00:34:06.620 --> 00:34:06.819
 it

00:34:06.819 --> 00:34:08.760
 but

00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:08.920
 it's

00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:09.159
 actually

00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:09.480
 full

00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:09.679
 of

00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:10.119
 mercy

00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:11.159
 we

00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:11.360
 find

00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:11.780
 mercy

00:34:11.780 --> 00:34:12.019
 all

00:34:12.019 --> 00:34:12.320
 over

00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:12.739
 it

00:34:12.739 --> 00:34:13.780
 because

00:34:13.780 --> 00:34:14.019
 the

00:34:14.019 --> 00:34:14.280
 truth

00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:14.500
 is

00:34:14.500 --> 00:34:14.699
 that

00:34:14.699 --> 00:34:14.980
 God

00:34:14.980 --> 00:34:15.360
 owes

00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:15.559
 us

00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:16.079
 nothing

00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:17.960
 he

00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:18.119
 owes

00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:18.300
 us

00:34:18.300 --> 00:34:18.659
 nothing

00:34:18.659 --> 00:34:20.619
 the

00:34:20.619 --> 00:34:21.019
 moment

00:34:21.019 --> 00:34:21.260
 that

00:34:21.260 --> 00:34:21.420
 we

00:34:21.420 --> 00:34:21.880
 rebel

00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:22.420
 against

00:34:22.420 --> 00:34:22.719
 him

00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:23.800
 we

00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:24.260
 deserve

00:34:24.260 --> 00:34:24.519
 the

00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:25.000
 full

00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:25.519
 punishment

00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:25.900
 of his

00:34:25.900 --> 00:34:26.320
 wrath

00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:27.280
 as

00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:27.440
 our

00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:27.800
 creator

00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:28.160
 that's

00:34:28.160 --> 00:34:28.260
 what

00:34:28.260 --> 00:34:28.400
 we

00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:28.760
 deserve

00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:29.480
 immediately

00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:30.640
 the

00:34:30.640 --> 00:34:31.039
 fact

00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:31.200
 that

00:34:31.200 --> 00:34:31.300
 he

00:34:31.300 --> 00:34:31.519
 lets

00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:31.680
 us

00:34:31.680 --> 00:34:31.880
 take

00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:32.080
 a

00:34:32.080 --> 00:34:32.500
 breath

00:34:32.500 --> 00:34:32.980
 beyond

00:34:32.980 --> 00:34:33.320
 that

00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:34.200
 is

00:34:34.200 --> 00:34:34.380
 a

00:34:34.380 --> 00:34:34.680
 sign

00:34:34.680 --> 00:34:34.820
 of

 God's

00:34:35.120 --> 00:34:35.580
 mercy

00:34:35.580 --> 00:34:37.059
 that

 he

00:34:37.180 --> 00:34:37.380
 gives

00:34:37.380 --> 00:34:37.539
 us

00:34:37.539 --> 00:34:37.780
 any

00:36:07.379 --> 00:36:07.500
 you

00:36:07.500 --> 00:36:07.899
 still

00:36:07.899 --> 00:36:07.899


00:36:07.899 --> 00:36:08.179
 won't

00:36:08.179 --> 00:36:08.199
!

00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:08.559
 repent

00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:08.599
!

00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:08.900
 and

00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:09.319
 believe

00:36:09.319 --> 00:36:10.519
 you're

00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:11.000
 enjoying

00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:11.420
 God's

00:36:11.420 --> 00:36:11.880
 mercy

00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:12.759
 but

00:36:12.759 --> 00:36:13.000
 you're

00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:13.639
 wasting

00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:14.639
 God's

00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:15.039
 mercy

00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:17.699
 now

00:36:17.699 --> 00:36:18.139
 why would

00:36:18.139 --> 00:36:18.480
 Jesus

00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:18.940
 use a

00:36:18.940 --> 00:36:19.500
 plague

00:36:19.500 --> 00:36:19.980
 to

00:36:19.980 --> 00:36:20.400
 afflict

00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:20.659
 this

00:36:20.659 --> 00:36:21.259
 Jezebel

00:36:21.259 --> 00:36:22.000
 instead

00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:22.420
 of just

00:36:22.420 --> 00:36:22.739
 dealing

00:36:22.739 --> 00:36:23.319
 with her

00:36:23.319 --> 00:36:23.739
 and her

00:36:23.739 --> 00:36:24.259
 followers

00:36:24.259 --> 00:36:25.179
 swiftly

00:36:25.179 --> 00:36:25.679
 this is

00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:26.299
 what seems

00:36:26.299 --> 00:36:27.339
 so unfair

00:36:27.339 --> 00:36:28.079
 in justing

00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:28.239
 God

00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:28.599
 doesn't

00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:28.799
 it

00:36:28.799 --> 00:36:29.920
 but

00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:30.360
 the answer

00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:30.739
 is just

00:36:30.739 --> 00:36:31.019
 another

00:36:31.019 --> 00:36:31.420
 statement

00:36:31.420 --> 00:36:31.619
 of

00:36:31.619 --> 00:36:32.000
 mercy

00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:32.619
 look at

00:36:32.619 --> 00:36:32.799
 verse

00:36:32.799 --> 00:36:33.339
 23

00:36:33.340 --> 00:36:35.140
 and all

00:36:35.140 --> 00:36:35.740
 the churches

00:36:35.740 --> 00:36:36.480

 Jezebel

00:38:50.019 --> 00:38:50.519
 declared

00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:51.019
 that she

00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:52.840
 God

00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:54.519

 she

00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:54.920
 made

00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:55.139
 this

00:38:55.139 --> 00:38:55.559
 plain

 the

 church

00:38:56.980 --> 00:38:57.119
 in

00:38:57.119 --> 00:38:57.739
 Thyatira

00:38:57.739 --> 00:38:58.099
 had a

00:38:58.099 --> 00:38:58.659
 responsibility

00:38:58.659 --> 00:38:59.380
 to tell

00:38:59.380 --> 00:38:59.519
 her

00:38:59.519 --> 00:38:59.699
 the

00:38:59.699 --> 00:39:00.079
 truth

00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:00.519
 that

00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:00.739
 she

00:39:00.739 --> 00:39:01.079
 was

00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:01.320
 not

00:39:01.320 --> 00:39:01.559
 right

00:39:01.559 --> 00:39:01.739
 with

00:39:01.739 --> 00:39:02.039
 God

00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:03.639
 they

00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:03.759
 had

00:39:03.759 --> 00:39:03.860
 a

00:39:03.860 --> 00:39:04.420
 responsibility

00:39:04.420 --> 00:39:04.940
 to

00:39:04.940 --> 00:39:05.579
 protect

00:39:05.579 --> 00:39:05.820
 the

00:39:05.820 --> 00:39:06.179
 flock

00:39:06.179 --> 00:39:06.559
 they

00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:06.679
 had

00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:06.779
 a

00:39:06.779 --> 00:39:07.360
 responsibility

00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:07.960
 to

00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:08.460
 exclude

00:39:08.460 --> 00:39:08.659
 her

00:39:08.659 --> 00:39:08.860
 from

00:39:08.860 --> 00:39:09.039
 the

00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:09.380
 church

00:39:09.380 --> 00:39:10.059
 instead

00:39:10.059 --> 00:39:10.820
 they

00:39:10.820 --> 00:39:11.000
 were

00:39:11.000 --> 00:39:11.820
 tolerating

00:39:11.820 --> 00:39:12.099
 her

00:39:12.099 --> 00:39:12.519
 and

00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:12.699
 as

00:39:12.699 --> 00:39:12.820
 a

00:39:12.820 --> 00:39:13.179
 result

00:39:13.179 --> 00:39:13.340
 of

00:39:13.340 --> 00:39:13.480
 the

00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:13.880
 church's

00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:14.179
 failure

00:39:14.179 --> 00:39:14.440
 to

00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:14.840
 act

00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:15.340
 she

00:39:15.340 --> 00:39:15.539
 was

00:39:15.539 --> 00:39:15.900
 leading

00:39:17.059 --> 00:39:17.980
 into

00:39:17.980 --> 00:39:18.340
 sin

00:39:18.340 --> 00:39:20.159
 so

00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:20.539
 Jesus

00:39:20.539 --> 00:39:20.759
 in

00:39:20.759 --> 00:39:20.900
 his

00:39:20.900 --> 00:39:21.320
 correction

00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:21.559
 he

00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:21.759
 tells

00:39:21.759 --> 00:39:22.259
 Jezebel

00:39:22.259 --> 00:39:22.599
 and

00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:22.759
 her

00:39:22.759 --> 00:39:23.320
 followers

00:39:23.320 --> 00:39:23.980
 repent

00:39:23.980 --> 00:39:24.739
 or

00:39:24.739 --> 00:39:25.199
 die

00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:26.880
 and

00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:27.019
 then

00:39:27.019 --> 00:39:27.159
 he

00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:27.360
 tells

00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:27.539
 the

00:39:28.420 --> 00:39:29.559
 repent

00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:29.960
 of

00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:30.119
 your

00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:30.980
 toleration

00:39:30.980 --> 00:39:32.380
 or

00:39:32.380 --> 00:39:32.840
 die

00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:36.480
 very

00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:36.920
 happy

00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:37.179
 about

00:39:37.179 --> 00:39:37.340
 the

00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:41.380
 Jesus

00:39:41.380 --> 00:39:41.719
 had

00:39:41.719 --> 00:39:42.019
 no

00:39:43.099 --> 00:39:43.360
 them

00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:43.619
 but

00:39:43.619 --> 00:39:43.840
 to

00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:44.400
 properly

00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:45.219
 discipline

00:39:45.219 --> 00:39:45.739
 those

00:39:45.739 --> 00:39:46.659
 who

00:39:46.659 --> 00:39:46.879
 would

00:39:46.879 --> 00:39:47.099
 not

00:39:47.099 --> 00:39:47.339
 turn

00:39:47.339 --> 00:39:47.539
 from

00:39:47.539 --> 00:39:47.719
 their

00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:48.099
 sin

 he

00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:50.440
 says

00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:51.099
 only

00:39:51.099 --> 00:39:51.539
 hold

00:39:51.539 --> 00:39:52.379
 fast

00:39:52.379 --> 00:39:52.639
 what

00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:52.799
 you

00:39:52.799 --> 00:39:53.399
 have

00:39:53.399 --> 00:39:54.239
 until

00:39:54.239 --> 00:39:54.440
 I

00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:54.779
 come

00:39:54.779 --> 00:39:55.159
 well

00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:55.339
 what

00:39:55.339 --> 00:39:55.559
 is it

00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:55.699
 that

00:39:55.699 --> 00:39:55.859
 they

00:39:55.859 --> 00:39:56.099
 had

00:39:56.099 --> 00:39:56.259
 to

00:39:56.259 --> 00:39:56.460
 hold

00:39:56.460 --> 00:39:56.859
 fast

00:39:56.859 --> 00:39:57.119
 to

00:39:57.119 --> 00:39:58.199
 the

00:39:58.199 --> 00:39:58.659
 gospel

00:39:58.659 --> 00:40:00.099
 they

00:40:00.099 --> 00:40:00.259
 had

00:40:00.259 --> 00:40:00.399
 the

00:40:00.399 --> 00:40:00.799
 gospel

00:40:00.799 --> 00:40:00.980
 they

00:40:00.980 --> 00:40:01.099
 had

00:40:01.099 --> 00:40:01.239
 not

00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:01.639
 abandoned

00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:01.819
 the

00:40:01.819 --> 00:40:02.239
 gospel

00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:05.379
 holding

00:40:05.379 --> 00:40:05.819
 fast

00:40:05.819 --> 00:40:05.960
 to

00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:06.079
 the

00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:06.500
 gospel

00:40:06.500 --> 00:40:07.279
 means

00:40:07.279 --> 00:40:07.639
 living

00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:07.819
 it

00:40:07.819 --> 00:40:08.159
 out

00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:08.659
 as

00:40:08.659 --> 00:40:08.980
 Christ

00:40:08.980 --> 00:40:09.480
 commanded

00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:10.339
 and

00:40:10.339 --> 00:40:10.699
 part

00:40:10.699 --> 00:40:10.859
 of

00:40:10.859 --> 00:40:11.099
 living

00:40:11.099 --> 00:40:11.279
 it

00:40:11.279 --> 00:40:11.639
 out

00:40:11.639 --> 00:40:12.099
 is

00:40:12.099 --> 00:40:12.500
 drawing

00:40:12.500 --> 00:40:12.739
 a

00:40:12.739 --> 00:40:13.000
 clear

00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:13.579
 line

00:40:13.579 --> 00:40:13.920
 between

00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:14.259
 those

00:40:14.259 --> 00:40:14.420
 who

00:40:14.420 --> 00:40:14.819
 repent

00:40:14.820 --> 00:40:15.840
 and

00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:16.100
 those

00:40:16.100 --> 00:40:16.240
 who

00:40:16.240 --> 00:40:16.400
 do

00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:16.840
 not

00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:18.660
 the

00:40:18.660 --> 00:40:19.080
 repentance

00:40:19.080 --> 00:40:19.559
 that is

00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:20.440
 necessary

00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:20.840
 for the

00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:21.160
 faithful

00:40:21.160 --> 00:40:21.559
 remnant

00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:21.740
 in

00:40:21.740 --> 00:40:22.340
 Thyatira

00:40:22.340 --> 00:40:23.120
 was to

00:40:23.120 --> 00:40:23.760
 exclude

00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:24.080
 this

00:40:24.080 --> 00:40:24.559
 Jezebel

00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:25.100
 and her

00:40:25.100 --> 00:40:25.519
 children

00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:26.240
 and to

00:40:26.240 --> 00:40:26.380
 do

00:40:26.380 --> 00:40:26.720
 anything

00:40:26.720 --> 00:40:27.420
 less

00:40:27.420 --> 00:40:28.100
 was an

00:40:28.100 --> 00:40:28.720
 overt

00:40:28.720 --> 00:40:29.460
 compromise

00:40:29.460 --> 00:40:30.420
 that would

00:40:30.420 --> 00:40:30.900
 inevitably

00:40:30.900 --> 00:40:31.600
 lead

00:40:31.600 --> 00:40:32.120
 to the

00:40:32.120 --> 00:40:32.460
 death

00:40:32.460 --> 00:40:33.120
 of the

00:40:33.120 --> 00:40:33.559
 church

00:40:33.559 --> 00:40:36.039
 and so

00:40:36.039 --> 00:40:36.420
 we come

00:40:36.420 --> 00:40:36.760
 to it

00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:37.019
 as

00:40:37.019 --> 00:40:37.640
 a church

00:40:37.640 --> 00:40:38.140
 ourselves

00:40:38.140 --> 00:40:38.539
 and we

00:40:38.539 --> 00:40:38.900
 say

00:40:38.900 --> 00:40:39.559
 whenever

00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:40.720
 and if

00:40:40.720 --> 00:40:41.200
 ever

00:40:41.199 --> 00:40:42.199
 a Jezebel

00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:43.039
 is exposed

00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:43.619
 in our

00:40:43.619 --> 00:40:44.219
 church

00:40:44.219 --> 00:40:45.359
 our only

00:40:45.359 --> 00:40:46.179
 course of

00:40:46.179 --> 00:40:46.799
 action

00:40:46.799 --> 00:40:47.899
 according to

00:40:47.899 --> 00:40:48.399
 the scripture

00:40:48.399 --> 00:40:49.519
 is to

00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:50.219
 lovingly

00:40:50.219 --> 00:40:50.819
 discipline

00:40:50.819 --> 00:40:51.639
 that person

00:40:51.639 --> 00:40:53.339
 in hopes

00:40:53.339 --> 00:40:54.299
 that they

00:40:54.299 --> 00:40:54.960
 will turn

00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:55.460
 from their

00:40:55.460 --> 00:40:55.879
 sin

00:40:55.879 --> 00:40:56.980
 to trust

00:40:56.980 --> 00:40:57.519
 Christ

00:40:57.519 --> 00:40:58.399
 and be

00:40:58.399 --> 00:40:58.879
 restored

00:40:58.879 --> 00:41:01.039
 but if

00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:01.379
 they do

00:41:01.379 --> 00:41:02.099
 not turn

00:41:02.099 --> 00:41:03.639
 they must

00:41:03.639 --> 00:41:04.339
 be excluded

00:41:04.339 --> 00:41:07.119
 because the

00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:07.859
 result if

00:41:07.859 --> 00:41:08.359
 they're not

00:41:08.359 --> 00:41:08.819
 excluded

00:41:08.820 --> 00:41:10.620
 is that

00:41:10.620 --> 00:41:10.820
 the

00:41:10.820 --> 00:41:11.160
 servants

00:41:11.160 --> 00:41:11.420
 of

00:41:11.420 --> 00:41:11.680
 Jesus

00:41:11.680 --> 00:41:11.940
 in

00:41:11.940 --> 00:41:12.100
 our

00:41:12.100 --> 00:41:12.500
 church

00:41:12.500 --> 00:41:13.640
 will

00:41:13.640 --> 00:41:13.800
 be

00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:14.019
 led

00:41:14.019 --> 00:41:14.480
 astray

00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:18.140
 well

00:41:18.140 --> 00:41:18.300
 let's

00:41:18.300 --> 00:41:18.500
 look at

00:41:18.500 --> 00:41:18.620
 the

00:41:18.620 --> 00:41:19.000
 call and

00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:19.300
 conquer

00:41:19.300 --> 00:41:19.680
 as we

00:41:19.680 --> 00:41:20.000
 finish

00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:20.840
 verse 26

00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:22.800
 the one

00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:22.960
 who

00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:23.480
 conquers

00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:23.820
 and who

00:41:23.820 --> 00:41:24.120
 keeps

00:41:24.120 --> 00:41:24.340
 my

00:41:24.340 --> 00:41:24.780
 works

00:41:24.780 --> 00:41:25.059
 until

00:41:25.059 --> 00:41:25.240
 the

00:41:25.240 --> 00:41:25.620
 end

00:41:25.620 --> 00:41:26.820
 to him

00:41:26.820 --> 00:41:27.019
 I

00:41:27.019 --> 00:41:27.160
 will

00:41:27.160 --> 00:41:27.340
 give

00:41:27.340 --> 00:41:27.800
 authority

00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:28.039
 over

00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:28.200
 the

00:41:28.200 --> 00:41:28.680
 nations

00:41:28.680 --> 00:41:29.900
 he

00:41:29.900 --> 00:41:30.059
 will

00:41:30.059 --> 00:41:30.360
 rule

00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:30.600
 them

00:41:30.600 --> 00:41:30.760
 with

00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:30.880
 a

00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:31.019
 rod

00:41:31.019 --> 00:41:31.160
 of

00:41:31.160 --> 00:41:31.480
 iron

00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:31.900
 as

00:41:31.900 --> 00:41:32.180
 when

00:41:32.180 --> 00:41:32.960
 earth

00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:33.140
 and

00:41:33.140 --> 00:41:33.500
 pots

00:41:33.500 --> 00:41:33.660
 are

00:41:33.660 --> 00:41:33.920
 broken

00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:34.160
 in

00:41:34.160 --> 00:41:34.519
 pieces

00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:36.100
 even

00:41:36.100 --> 00:41:36.280
 as

00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:36.420
 I

00:41:36.420 --> 00:41:36.960
 myself

00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:37.160
 have

00:41:37.160 --> 00:41:37.500
 received

00:41:37.500 --> 00:41:37.880
 authority

00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:38.100
 from

00:41:38.100 --> 00:41:38.280
 my

00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:38.680
 father

00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:39.940
 and I

00:41:39.940 --> 00:41:40.059
 will

00:41:40.059 --> 00:41:40.239
 give

00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:40.339
 him

00:41:40.339 --> 00:41:40.480
 the

00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:40.759
 morning

00:41:40.759 --> 00:41:41.199
 star

00:41:41.199 --> 00:41:42.539
 he

00:41:42.539 --> 00:41:42.719
 who

00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:42.899
 has

00:41:42.899 --> 00:41:43.039
 an

00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:43.299

00:41:43.299 --> 00:41:44.119
 let

00:41:44.219 --> 00:41:44.480
 hear

00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:44.679
 what

 the

00:41:44.839 --> 00:41:45.099
 spirit

00:41:45.099 --> 00:41:45.579
 says

00:41:45.579 --> 00:41:46.639
 to

00:41:46.639 --> 00:41:46.779
 the

 churches

00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:48.779
 as

00:41:48.779 --> 00:41:49.179
 always

00:41:49.179 --> 00:41:49.539
 Jesus

00:41:49.539 --> 00:41:50.079
 closes

00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:50.359
 the

00:41:50.359 --> 00:41:50.659
 sermon

00:41:50.659 --> 00:41:51.000
 with a

00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:51.460
 promise

00:41:51.460 --> 00:41:51.980
 to

00:41:51.980 --> 00:41:52.219
 those

00:41:52.219 --> 00:41:52.359
 who

00:41:52.359 --> 00:41:52.759
 conquer

00:41:52.759 --> 00:41:55.019
 now

00:41:55.019 --> 00:41:55.299
 notice

00:41:55.299 --> 00:41:55.519
 how

00:41:57.299 --> 00:41:58.119
 sermons

00:41:58.119 --> 00:41:58.859

00:41:58.859 --> 00:41:59.579
 synonymous

00:41:59.579 --> 00:42:00.279
 with

 perseverance

00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:08.599
 only hold

00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:09.039
 fast

00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:09.480
 what you

00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:09.940
 have

00:42:09.940 --> 00:42:11.119
 until

 come

00:42:11.980 --> 00:42:13.380
 perseverance

00:42:13.380 --> 00:42:15.780

00:42:15.780 --> 00:42:16.420
 who conquers

00:42:16.420 --> 00:42:17.139

 until

00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:19.820

00:42:19.820 --> 00:42:21.320
 to him

00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:22.320
 I will

00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:22.519
 give

00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:22.960
 authority

00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:23.900
 over the

00:42:23.900 --> 00:42:24.360
 nation's

00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:24.820
 perseverance

00:42:24.820 --> 00:42:26.519
 just like

00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:27.079
 repentance

00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:27.719
 proves a

00:42:27.719 --> 00:42:28.199
 person to

00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:28.340
 be

00:42:28.340 --> 00:42:28.960
 regenerate

00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:29.880
 so does

00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:30.400
 perseverance

00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:32.760
 those

00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:32.760


00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:32.980
 who

00:42:32.980 --> 00:42:33.420
 continue

00:42:33.420 --> 00:42:33.780
 in the

00:42:33.780 --> 00:42:34.099
 faith

00:42:34.099 --> 00:42:34.500
 despite

00:42:34.500 --> 00:42:34.920
 the

00:42:34.920 --> 00:42:35.660
 spiritual

00:42:35.660 --> 00:42:36.220
 war

00:42:36.220 --> 00:42:36.460
 that

00:42:36.460 --> 00:42:36.900
 rages

00:42:36.900 --> 00:42:37.360
 against

00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:37.639
 us

00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:38.420
 prove

00:42:38.420 --> 00:42:38.639
 that

00:42:38.639 --> 00:42:38.800
 they

00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:38.920
 have

00:42:38.920 --> 00:42:39.280
 truly

00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:39.900
 conquered

00:42:39.900 --> 00:42:40.800
 through

00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:41.400
 Jesus

00:42:41.400 --> 00:42:42.160
 the

00:42:42.160 --> 00:42:43.139
 conqueror

00:42:43.139 --> 00:42:44.380
 and

00:42:44.380 --> 00:42:44.660
 look at

00:42:44.660 --> 00:42:44.780
 the

00:42:44.780 --> 00:42:45.059
 wonderful

00:42:45.059 --> 00:42:45.519
 promise

00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:45.800
 that's

00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:45.980
 given

00:42:45.980 --> 00:42:46.160
 us

00:42:46.160 --> 00:42:46.519
 it's

00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:46.960
 mysterious

00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:47.340
 here

00:42:47.340 --> 00:42:47.820
 for us

00:42:47.820 --> 00:42:48.280
 but

00:42:48.280 --> 00:42:48.519
 it's

00:42:48.519 --> 00:42:49.240
 helpful

00:42:49.240 --> 00:42:50.800
 it's

00:42:50.800 --> 00:42:51.039
 another

00:42:51.039 --> 00:42:51.480
 allusion

00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:51.700
 to

00:42:51.700 --> 00:42:52.280
 psalm 2

00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:52.760
 here's

00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:53.000
 what the

00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:53.320
 passage

00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:53.519
 in

00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:53.900
 psalm 2

00:42:53.900 --> 00:42:54.280
 says

00:42:54.280 --> 00:43:08.560
 so again

00:43:08.560 --> 00:43:08.860
 in the

00:43:08.860 --> 00:43:09.300
 promise

00:43:09.300 --> 00:43:10.000
 Jesus

00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:10.640
 is

00:43:10.640 --> 00:43:11.140
 proclaiming

00:43:11.140 --> 00:43:11.400
 to the

00:43:11.400 --> 00:43:11.760
 church

00:43:11.760 --> 00:43:12.700
 I am

00:43:12.700 --> 00:43:12.880
 the

00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:13.080
 son

00:43:13.080 --> 00:43:13.260
 of

00:43:13.260 --> 00:43:13.640
 God

00:43:13.640 --> 00:43:14.260
 I

00:43:14.260 --> 00:43:14.560
 am

00:43:14.560 --> 00:43:14.740
 the

00:43:14.740 --> 00:43:15.260
 Messiah

00:43:15.260 --> 00:43:16.820
 and

00:43:16.820 --> 00:43:17.080
 what

00:43:17.080 --> 00:43:17.300
 I

00:43:17.300 --> 00:43:17.620
 said

00:43:17.620 --> 00:43:17.820
 in

00:43:17.820 --> 00:43:18.460
 psalm 2

00:43:18.460 --> 00:43:18.920
 I

00:43:18.920 --> 00:43:19.220
 say

00:43:19.220 --> 00:43:19.380
 to

00:43:19.380 --> 00:43:19.540
 you

00:43:19.540 --> 00:43:19.940
 now

00:43:19.940 --> 00:43:21.120
 those

00:43:21.120 --> 00:43:21.360
 who

00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:21.780
 conquer

00:43:21.780 --> 00:43:22.820
 will

00:43:22.820 --> 00:43:23.320
 reign

00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:23.940
 with

00:43:23.940 --> 00:43:24.200
 me

00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:26.339
 so

00:43:26.339 --> 00:43:26.500
 that

00:43:26.500 --> 00:43:26.599
 in

00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:26.739
 the

00:43:26.739 --> 00:43:27.319
 messianic

00:43:27.319 --> 00:43:27.779
 kingdom

00:43:27.779 --> 00:43:29.159
 Jesus

00:43:29.159 --> 00:43:29.819
 promises

00:43:29.819 --> 00:43:30.099
 that

00:43:30.099 --> 00:43:30.319
 his

00:43:30.319 --> 00:43:30.659
 people

00:43:30.659 --> 00:43:30.919
 will

00:43:30.919 --> 00:43:31.279
 reign

00:43:31.279 --> 00:43:32.000
 with

00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:32.219
 him

00:43:32.219 --> 00:43:33.839
 and

00:43:33.839 --> 00:43:34.279
 exactly

00:43:34.279 --> 00:43:34.579
 how

00:43:34.579 --> 00:43:34.819
 this

00:43:34.819 --> 00:43:35.099
 takes

00:43:35.099 --> 00:43:35.559
 shape

00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:35.859
 is

00:43:35.859 --> 00:43:36.000
 a

00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:36.399
 mystery

00:43:36.399 --> 00:43:37.439
 don't

00:43:37.439 --> 00:43:37.659
 ask

00:43:37.659 --> 00:43:37.799
 me

00:43:37.799 --> 00:43:39.199
 after

00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:39.419
 the

00:43:39.419 --> 00:43:39.759
 service

00:43:39.759 --> 00:43:40.199
 how

00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:40.399
 I

00:43:40.399 --> 00:43:40.539
 think

00:43:40.539 --> 00:43:40.739
 this

00:43:40.739 --> 00:43:40.879
 is

00:43:40.879 --> 00:43:41.019
 going

00:43:41.019 --> 00:43:41.119
 to

00:43:41.119 --> 00:43:41.399
 work

00:43:41.399 --> 00:43:41.579
 and

00:43:41.579 --> 00:43:41.859
 which

00:43:41.859 --> 00:43:42.359
 nation

00:43:42.359 --> 00:43:42.579
 you're

00:43:42.579 --> 00:43:42.679
 going

00:43:42.679 --> 00:43:42.739
 to

00:43:42.739 --> 00:43:42.879
 get

00:43:42.879 --> 00:43:43.039
 to

00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:43.239
 rule

00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:43.519
 over

00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:43.879
 because

00:43:43.879 --> 00:43:44.039
 I

00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:44.219
 have

00:43:44.219 --> 00:43:44.399
 no

00:43:44.399 --> 00:43:44.759
 idea

00:43:44.759 --> 00:43:45.059
 I

00:43:45.059 --> 00:43:45.219
 don't

00:43:45.219 --> 00:43:45.359
 know

00:43:45.359 --> 00:43:45.500
 how

00:43:45.500 --> 00:43:45.739
 that's

00:43:45.739 --> 00:43:45.859
 going

00:43:45.859 --> 00:43:45.939
 to

00:43:45.939 --> 00:43:46.239
 work

00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:48.939
 but

00:43:48.939 --> 00:43:49.319
 consider

00:43:49.319 --> 00:43:49.539
 what

00:43:49.539 --> 00:43:49.639
 it

00:43:49.639 --> 00:43:49.739
 would

00:43:49.739 --> 00:43:49.879
 have

00:43:49.879 --> 00:43:50.079
 meant

00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:50.219
 to

00:43:50.219 --> 00:43:50.399
 these

00:43:50.399 --> 00:43:50.699
 early

00:43:50.699 --> 00:43:51.299
 Christians

00:43:54.199 --> 00:43:54.439
 rule

00:43:54.439 --> 00:43:54.779
 of

00:43:54.779 --> 00:43:55.119
 Rome

00:43:55.119 --> 00:43:58.899
 the

00:43:58.899 --> 00:43:59.339
 promise

00:43:59.339 --> 00:44:00.000
 is not

00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:00.359
 that we

00:44:00.359 --> 00:44:00.679
 will be

00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:01.079
 able to

00:44:01.079 --> 00:44:01.639
 exercise

00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:02.259
 vengeance

00:44:02.259 --> 00:44:03.019
 on those

00:44:03.019 --> 00:44:03.299
 who have

00:44:03.299 --> 00:44:03.659
 wronged

00:44:03.659 --> 00:44:03.879
 us

00:44:03.879 --> 00:44:04.659
 that's

00:44:04.659 --> 00:44:04.799
 not

00:44:04.799 --> 00:44:04.980
 the

00:44:04.980 --> 00:44:05.419
 promise

00:44:05.419 --> 00:44:06.819
 the

00:44:06.819 --> 00:44:07.279
 promise

00:44:07.279 --> 00:44:07.859
 is that

00:44:07.859 --> 00:44:08.059
 we

00:44:08.059 --> 00:44:08.259
 will

00:44:08.259 --> 00:44:08.719
 enjoy

00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:08.960
 the

00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:09.239
 kingdom

00:44:09.239 --> 00:44:09.500
 of

00:44:09.500 --> 00:44:10.039
 Christ

00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:10.779
 with

00:44:10.779 --> 00:44:11.079
 his

00:44:11.079 --> 00:44:11.879
 perfectly

00:44:11.879 --> 00:44:13.179
 righteous

00:44:13.179 --> 00:44:14.199
 rule

00:44:14.199 --> 00:44:15.679
 where

00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:16.119
 all

00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:16.339
 who

00:44:16.339 --> 00:44:16.699
 belong

00:44:16.699 --> 00:44:16.899
 to

00:44:16.899 --> 00:44:17.279
 him

00:44:17.279 --> 00:44:17.759
 are

00:44:17.759 --> 00:44:18.359
 blessed

00:44:18.359 --> 00:44:19.619

00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:33.440
 rule

00:46:33.440 --> 00:46:34.139
 and

00:46:34.139 --> 00:46:34.659
 power

00:46:34.659 --> 00:46:35.500
 will

00:46:35.500 --> 00:46:35.699
 be

00:46:35.699 --> 00:46:36.099
 unlike

00:46:36.099 --> 00:46:36.559
 anything

00:46:36.559 --> 00:46:36.980
 else

00:46:36.980 --> 00:46:37.340
 we can

00:46:37.340 --> 00:46:37.619
 ever

00:46:37.619 --> 00:46:37.960
 begin

00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:38.139
 to

00:46:38.139 --> 00:46:38.679
 imagine

00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:39.860
 now

00:46:39.860 --> 00:46:41.640
 and

00:46:41.640 --> 00:46:41.940
 that

00:46:41.940 --> 00:46:42.099
 is

00:46:42.099 --> 00:46:42.240
 what

00:46:42.240 --> 00:46:42.380
 is

00:46:42.380 --> 00:46:42.960
 promised

00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:44.280
 to

00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:44.420
 the

00:46:44.420 --> 00:46:44.620
 one

00:46:44.620 --> 00:46:44.800
 who

00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:45.480
 conquers

00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:46.320
 through

00:46:46.320 --> 00:46:46.700
 Christ

00:46:46.700 --> 00:46:49.260
 he

00:46:49.260 --> 00:46:49.519
 who

00:46:49.519 --> 00:46:49.800
 has

00:46:49.800 --> 00:46:49.980
 an

00:46:49.980 --> 00:46:50.280
 ear

00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:51.500
 let

00:46:51.500 --> 00:46:51.640
 him

00:46:51.640 --> 00:46:52.000
 hear

00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:53.039
 what

00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:53.180
 the

00:46:53.180 --> 00:46:53.440
 spirit

00:46:53.440 --> 00:46:53.880
 says

 to
