00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.020
 Well, good morning to you, even on this hot day.

00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:06.379
 We have heaven to look forward to.

00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:10.859
 Let's take a look at Daniel chapter 9.

00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:15.599
 It's a prayer by a great prophet by the name of Daniel,

00:00:16.219 --> 00:00:19.800
 and it's really fabulous. It looks fairly

00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:24.039
 simple and straightforward, but it turns out to be a fabulous

00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:28.420
 prayer. If you turn in your bulletins

00:00:28.420 --> 00:00:32.420
 at the back page, there is a detailed outline.

00:00:33.100 --> 00:00:36.520
 I'm not going to go over the whole outline.

00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:40.179
 You can do that on your own. You'll have a chance to

00:00:40.179 --> 00:00:44.420
 do it this afternoon, if you so please. I just want to

00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:48.340
 highlight a couple important points and just focus

00:00:48.340 --> 00:00:52.260
 on the plea for mercy, his

00:00:52.260 --> 00:00:53.660
 prayer for mercy.

00:00:53.659 --> 00:01:01.079
 Daniel begins by confessing sin.

00:01:03.599 --> 00:01:07.159
 There is a prevalent saying at the time,

00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.259
 the fathers ate the sour grapes, but the children's teeth

00:01:11.259 --> 00:01:14.479
 are set on edge. You find it in Jeremiah,

00:01:14.739 --> 00:01:18.379
 you find it in Ezekiel. It's a saying that means

00:01:18.379 --> 00:01:23.839
 we are suffering the consequences of what others have done.

00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:30.939
 It's our father's fault, but we are paying for what they have done.

00:01:31.899 --> 00:01:36.840
 To modernize that example, it's our parents who drink,

00:01:37.219 --> 00:01:38.719
 but we have the hangover.

00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:40.719
 It's our father's fault, but we are paying for it.

00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:46.060
 It's our brother who exercises, and I wake up with the sore bones

00:01:46.060 --> 00:01:47.819
 and sore muscles.

00:01:50.060 --> 00:01:53.700
 And that saying was prevalent.

00:01:54.379 --> 00:01:57.180
 Everybody said, of course Jerusalem was punished,

00:01:57.539 --> 00:01:59.500
 but it wasn't our fault.

00:01:59.859 --> 00:02:02.640
 It was the fault of King Manasseh.

00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.859
 He is the one who got us into this mess.

00:02:05.859 --> 00:02:09.400
 And so it's not really us.

00:02:10.020 --> 00:02:12.159
 It's them, but we're suffering.

00:02:13.259 --> 00:02:15.419
 Daniel wants them to admit

00:02:15.419 --> 00:02:17.699
 that it's not like this,

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:19.620
 that everyone,

00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:21.460
 everywhere,

00:02:22.079 --> 00:02:23.860
 committed every kind of sin.

00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:26.120
 And the way he does it

00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:27.280
 is in two ways.

00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:29.699
 In 11 verses,

00:02:30.620 --> 00:02:31.379
 he says

00:02:31.379 --> 00:02:32.780
 nine times,

00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:34.560
 we have sinned.

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.020
 If you see something

00:02:38.020 --> 00:02:39.819
 nine times in a row,

00:02:40.219 --> 00:02:41.500
 and you still

00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:42.939
 don't get it,

00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:44.400
 you need

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:45.920
 somebody to pray for you.

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:46.740
 You know,

00:02:47.979 --> 00:02:50.319
 don't take difficult classes

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:51.099
 in college,

00:02:51.219 --> 00:02:51.900
 that's for sure.

00:02:53.900 --> 00:02:55.240
 In 11 verses,

00:02:55.640 --> 00:02:56.180
 he says,

00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:57.500
 we have sinned,

00:02:57.699 --> 00:02:58.640
 we have sinned,

00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:00.120
 we have sinned.

00:03:00.420 --> 00:03:02.280
 Nine times in 11 verses.

00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:03.120
 Look,

00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:05.219
 you can read the 11 verses

00:03:05.219 --> 00:03:08.400
 in approximately 30 seconds.

00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:11.379
 In the next 30 seconds,

00:03:11.539 --> 00:03:13.240
 I'm going to say nine times,

00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:14.699
 my name is Samir,

00:03:14.939 --> 00:03:16.039
 my name is Samir,

00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:17.319
 my name is Samir,

00:03:17.580 --> 00:03:18.599
 my name is Samir,

00:03:18.819 --> 00:03:19.960
 my name is Samir.

00:03:20.939 --> 00:03:21.920
 I stopped with five.

00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:24.620
 How should you respond?

00:03:25.580 --> 00:03:26.620
 Okay, we get it.

00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:27.479
 You made the point.

00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:28.740
 We have sinned.

00:03:28.740 --> 00:03:29.360
 You know,

00:03:29.480 --> 00:03:30.260
 we get it.

00:03:31.460 --> 00:03:32.060
 And then,

00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:33.700
 in verse 4,

00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:34.260
 5,

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.040
 in verses 5 and 6,

00:03:36.740 --> 00:03:37.879
 he says,

00:03:38.020 --> 00:03:38.939
 we have sinned,

00:03:39.420 --> 00:03:40.680
 and he uses

00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.439
 five different verbs.

00:03:44.600 --> 00:03:46.080
 What does that tell me?

00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:47.920
 He has a good education.

00:03:49.219 --> 00:03:50.740
 He knows his vocabulary.

00:03:51.740 --> 00:03:53.140
 He speaks Hebrew well.

00:03:53.139 --> 00:03:58.919
 He uses five different verbs

00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:00.919
 in the same verse

00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:02.779
 as a way of saying,

00:04:03.679 --> 00:04:04.419
 you name it,

00:04:04.619 --> 00:04:05.339
 we've done it.

00:04:05.839 --> 00:04:06.839
 We have committed

00:04:06.839 --> 00:04:08.679
 every conceivable sin

00:04:08.679 --> 00:04:09.479
 under the sun.

00:04:10.519 --> 00:04:11.859
 We did it this way,

00:04:11.979 --> 00:04:12.979
 and we did it this way,

00:04:13.060 --> 00:04:14.039
 and we did it this way,

00:04:14.179 --> 00:04:15.319
 and we did it this way,

00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:16.599
 and we did it this way.

00:04:16.939 --> 00:04:18.740
 Nobody is with an excuse.

00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:21.220
 So what he wants them

00:04:21.220 --> 00:04:21.819
 to admit,

00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:23.240
 and to see,

00:04:23.860 --> 00:04:25.100
 that they have sinned.

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:27.699
 The next section

00:04:27.699 --> 00:04:28.660
 in this prayer

00:04:28.660 --> 00:04:32.400
 are verses 11

00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:34.439
 through about 15.

00:04:34.819 --> 00:04:36.660
 If you look at verses

00:04:36.660 --> 00:04:38.379
 11 and 13,

00:04:39.060 --> 00:04:39.900
 you will notice

00:04:39.900 --> 00:04:41.139
 that certain words

00:04:41.139 --> 00:04:41.840
 are repeated.

00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.959
 the book of the law

00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:46.979
 of Moses.

00:04:47.699 --> 00:04:49.259
 The law of Moses.

00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:50.459
 Verse 11.

00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:51.879
 Verse 13.

00:04:53.819 --> 00:04:54.979
 If you look at

00:04:54.979 --> 00:04:56.879
 the other three verses,

00:04:57.139 --> 00:04:58.479
 he says calamity,

00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:00.179
 or destruction,

00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:01.839
 or desolation.

00:05:02.339 --> 00:05:03.519
 So he is repeating

00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:04.079
 the word

00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:05.739
 the law of Moses,

00:05:06.139 --> 00:05:07.500
 and he is repeating

00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:08.819
 the word desolation.

00:05:09.659 --> 00:05:10.819
 What he is saying

00:05:10.819 --> 00:05:13.199
 is nobody should be surprised

00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:14.560
 that this happened to us.

00:05:15.180 --> 00:05:16.300
 God told us

00:05:16.300 --> 00:05:17.219
 in the book of the law

00:05:17.219 --> 00:05:17.759
 of Moses

00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.319
 that if we disobey him,

00:05:20.740 --> 00:05:21.399
 he will bring

00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:22.819
 a calamity on us.

00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:24.600
 So we disobeyed him,

00:05:24.939 --> 00:05:26.199
 he brought the calamity.

00:05:26.699 --> 00:05:27.980
 At least it shows

00:05:27.980 --> 00:05:28.800
 that God takes

00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:30.079
 his own words seriously.

00:05:30.659 --> 00:05:31.459
 Maybe we don't

00:05:31.459 --> 00:05:32.219
 take it seriously,

00:05:32.659 --> 00:05:34.019
 but God takes it seriously,

00:05:34.500 --> 00:05:35.939
 and he has punished us

00:05:35.939 --> 00:05:36.839
 according to

00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:38.000
 what he has said.

00:05:38.620 --> 00:05:39.879
 The law warned us,

00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:40.839
 and the prophets

00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:41.480
 warned us,

00:05:41.819 --> 00:05:43.019
 and we ignored the law,

00:05:43.339 --> 00:05:44.439
 and we ignored the prophet,

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:45.699
 and now we're saying,

00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:47.579
 why did this happen to us?

00:05:48.159 --> 00:05:48.839
 What do you mean,

00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:50.180
 why did this happen to us?

00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:52.259
 Because we didn't pay

00:05:52.259 --> 00:05:53.699
 attention to the warnings

00:05:53.699 --> 00:05:55.199
 in the law of Moses.

00:05:56.259 --> 00:05:57.860
 If you want to discourage yourself,

00:05:57.980 --> 00:05:58.740
 if you really want to

00:05:58.740 --> 00:05:59.540
 depress yourself

00:05:59.540 --> 00:06:00.259
 this afternoon,

00:06:01.300 --> 00:06:02.159
 read Deuteronomy

00:06:02.159 --> 00:06:04.159
 chapters 27 and 28.

00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.800
 there is a list of curses,

00:06:07.620 --> 00:06:10.280
 and if you do this,

00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:11.480
 I'll curse you this way,

00:06:11.540 --> 00:06:12.180
 and if you do this,

00:06:12.260 --> 00:06:13.240
 I'll curse you this way.

00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:15.580
 After reading about 50 of them,

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.780
 you'll be in the dumps,

00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:19.780
 and if you're still not depressed,

00:06:19.940 --> 00:06:20.980
 read Lamentations,

00:06:21.100 --> 00:06:22.100
 which will definitely

00:06:22.100 --> 00:06:25.120
 describe these curses.

00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:28.100
 So Daniel is saying,

00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:29.000
 we have sinned,

00:06:29.400 --> 00:06:30.460
 God punished us,

00:06:30.620 --> 00:06:31.379
 it was fair,

00:06:31.379 --> 00:06:32.399
 he warned us,

00:06:32.699 --> 00:06:33.879
 we should have paid attention.

00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:35.819
 God kept his word.

00:06:36.659 --> 00:06:37.180
 But,

00:06:37.719 --> 00:06:39.480
 to say God kept his word

00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:40.439
 is good news,

00:06:40.699 --> 00:06:42.219
 because he kept his word

00:06:42.219 --> 00:06:43.079
 to punish us,

00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:44.300
 which also means

00:06:44.300 --> 00:06:45.740
 he will keep his word

00:06:45.740 --> 00:06:46.879
 to forgive us,

00:06:47.579 --> 00:06:49.259
 and ransom us.

00:06:50.540 --> 00:06:51.939
 Daniel has just read,

00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:54.959
 in the book of the prophet Jeremiah,

00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:56.740
 that the desolation

00:06:56.740 --> 00:06:58.300
 would last 70 years.

00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:00.279
 Let me digress for a minute.

00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:01.759
 How did he find that out?

00:07:02.500 --> 00:07:02.739
 Look,

00:07:02.939 --> 00:07:04.919
 Daniel has more visions,

00:07:05.379 --> 00:07:06.339
 and dreams,

00:07:06.819 --> 00:07:07.799
 and prophecies,

00:07:08.179 --> 00:07:09.779
 and ways of knowing God's will

00:07:09.779 --> 00:07:10.779
 than anybody I know.

00:07:11.859 --> 00:07:12.079
 You know,

00:07:12.159 --> 00:07:13.839
 some prophets get one or two visions,

00:07:13.939 --> 00:07:15.219
 he gets them all the time.

00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:17.139
 He and Amos are in a contest,

00:07:17.239 --> 00:07:18.239
 who can get more dreams,

00:07:18.619 --> 00:07:19.139
 and visions.

00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:21.979
 But God doesn't give him

00:07:21.979 --> 00:07:22.819
 a vision,

00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:25.079
 that the desolation

00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:26.839
 is going to end in 70 years.

00:07:27.099 --> 00:07:28.219
 You know how he finds it out?

00:07:28.220 --> 00:07:29.600
 He's reading

00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.320
 the prophet Jeremiah.

00:07:31.940 --> 00:07:33.280
 This is the guilt trip.

00:07:33.400 --> 00:07:33.820
 It's coming.

00:07:35.080 --> 00:07:36.980
 If Daniel thinks

00:07:36.980 --> 00:07:37.880
 it's important

00:07:37.880 --> 00:07:39.580
 to study God's word,

00:07:40.060 --> 00:07:41.020
 and to find out

00:07:41.020 --> 00:07:41.820
 from Jeremiah

00:07:41.820 --> 00:07:43.280
 what's going to happen next,

00:07:44.280 --> 00:07:46.880
 you can fill the rest

00:07:46.880 --> 00:07:47.440
 of the sentence,

00:07:47.540 --> 00:07:47.960
 can't you?

00:07:48.880 --> 00:07:50.960
 If Daniel can do it,

00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:52.420
 who else should do it?

00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:53.600
 Me,

00:07:54.020 --> 00:07:54.800
 and you,

00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:56.800
 especially since we don't

00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:57.639
 get any visions,

00:07:58.199 --> 00:07:59.240
 I get bad dreams

00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:00.199
 depending on what I have

00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:01.720
 supper the night before,

00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:02.960
 but I don't

00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:04.379
 get revelations

00:08:04.379 --> 00:08:05.040
 from God.

00:08:05.660 --> 00:08:05.879
 So,

00:08:07.400 --> 00:08:08.980
 Daniel reads

00:08:08.980 --> 00:08:09.800
 in the prophet

00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:11.439
 that the desolation

00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:12.439
 would only last

00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:13.500
 70 years,

00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:15.060
 and that it was

00:08:15.060 --> 00:08:16.040
 happening right

00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:16.780
 before him,

00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:18.660
 in that very same year

00:08:18.660 --> 00:08:19.500
 that he is reading

00:08:19.500 --> 00:08:20.560
 and writing this,

00:08:20.660 --> 00:08:21.300
 what was happening.

00:08:21.300 --> 00:08:22.220
 So,

00:08:22.340 --> 00:08:23.660
 if God is faithful

00:08:23.660 --> 00:08:24.639
 to punish us,

00:08:25.180 --> 00:08:26.139
 guess what God

00:08:26.139 --> 00:08:27.280
 is faithful to do?

00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:29.300
 To forgive us.

00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:31.460
 And that is the good news.

00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:32.340
 So,

00:08:32.460 --> 00:08:33.320
 he begins

00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:34.879
 by asking God

00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:35.759
 to forgive us,

00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:36.680
 knowing that

00:08:36.680 --> 00:08:37.440
 that's what God

00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:38.680
 said he wanted to do.

00:08:39.299 --> 00:08:41.220
 Knowing what God's will is,

00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:42.279
 he prays

00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:43.220
 for God

00:08:43.220 --> 00:08:44.100
 to do his will.

00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:45.820
 That's variation

00:08:45.820 --> 00:08:47.399
 on thy kingdom come.

00:08:48.259 --> 00:08:49.279
 If I know God

00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:49.899
 wants to bring

00:08:49.899 --> 00:08:50.399
 his kingdom,

00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:51.199
 then I pray,

00:08:52.199 --> 00:08:53.459
 bring your kingdom.

00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:55.939
 Which now

00:08:55.939 --> 00:08:56.679
 leads us

00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:58.480
 to verse 4.

00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:00.360
 Verse 4

00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:01.340
 in Daniel 9

00:09:01.340 --> 00:09:02.079
 is a

00:09:02.079 --> 00:09:03.079
 brilliant,

00:09:03.259 --> 00:09:04.059
 brilliant

00:09:04.059 --> 00:09:04.620
 verse.

00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:06.679
 So,

00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:07.679
 in verse 4

00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:08.240
 he says,

00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:09.720
 I pray to the

00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:10.720
 Lord my God

00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:12.039
 and confess.

00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:13.559
 Let's notice,

00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:14.139
 first of all,

00:09:14.179 --> 00:09:15.019
 he uses the word

00:09:15.019 --> 00:09:15.379
 Lord.

00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:17.419
 There are two words

00:09:17.419 --> 00:09:17.840
 in Hebrew

00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:18.879
 that refer to God

00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:19.500
 as deity.

00:09:20.019 --> 00:09:20.379
 Elohim,

00:09:21.340 --> 00:09:21.799
 God,

00:09:22.299 --> 00:09:23.220
 which means God

00:09:23.220 --> 00:09:23.980
 as creator,

00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:25.299
 and Yahweh,

00:09:25.899 --> 00:09:26.360
 Lord,

00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:27.679
 which means God

00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:28.439
 in a personal

00:09:28.439 --> 00:09:29.720
 relationship with us.

00:09:30.220 --> 00:09:31.939
 We understand Elohim

00:09:31.939 --> 00:09:32.459
 best

00:09:32.459 --> 00:09:34.539
 when we look at creation.

00:09:35.500 --> 00:09:36.459
 We understand

00:09:36.459 --> 00:09:37.579
 Yahweh best

00:09:37.579 --> 00:09:38.699
 when we look

00:09:38.699 --> 00:09:39.860
 at human history

00:09:39.860 --> 00:09:41.079
 and we see

00:09:41.079 --> 00:09:41.720
 that God

00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:42.980
 is a covenant maker

00:09:42.980 --> 00:09:44.620
 and promise keeper.

00:09:44.620 --> 00:09:45.620
 God

00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:47.519
 and so,

00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:49.820
 Daniel addresses God

00:09:49.820 --> 00:09:51.120
 as Yahweh,

00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:51.960
 Lord,

00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:53.080
 Yahweh.

00:09:54.019 --> 00:09:55.519
 Yahweh is used

00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:59.340
 over 7,400 times

00:09:59.340 --> 00:10:00.340
 in the Old Testament.

00:10:00.340 --> 00:10:03.000
 It's the second

00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:04.160
 most frequently

00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:05.120
 used word

00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:06.019
 in the Old Testament.

00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:07.840
 The most frequently

00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:08.480
 used word

00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:09.120
 is the word

00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:09.660
 the,

00:10:09.860 --> 00:10:10.860
 the definite article.

00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:12.680
 But other than that,

00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:13.860
 it's the word Yahweh.

00:10:16.740 --> 00:10:17.300
 Isaiah

00:10:17.300 --> 00:10:18.480
 uses it

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:19.379
 at least

00:10:19.379 --> 00:10:21.060
 200 times.

00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:23.440
 We have been

00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:23.840
 leading

00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:25.280
 eight chapters

00:10:25.280 --> 00:10:26.220
 into Daniel

00:10:26.220 --> 00:10:27.460
 and he hasn't

00:10:27.460 --> 00:10:28.060
 used it

00:10:28.060 --> 00:10:28.600
 once

00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:29.220
 yet.

00:10:30.700 --> 00:10:31.720
 There isn't

00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:32.279
 the word

00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:32.759
 Lord

00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:33.379
 anywhere

00:10:33.379 --> 00:10:34.200
 in the first

00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:35.019
 eight chapters.

00:10:35.740 --> 00:10:36.519
 But once

00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:37.139
 he starts

00:10:37.139 --> 00:10:37.840
 to pray,

00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:39.200
 he calls

00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:39.720
 God

00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:40.500
 Yahweh

00:10:40.500 --> 00:10:41.340
 because

00:10:41.340 --> 00:10:41.940
 Yahweh

00:10:41.940 --> 00:10:42.460
 means

00:10:42.460 --> 00:10:43.200
 a covenant

00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:44.060
 relationship

00:10:44.060 --> 00:10:45.399
 with God.

00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:46.740
 So he realizes

00:10:46.740 --> 00:10:47.820
 that our relationship

00:10:47.820 --> 00:10:48.379
 with God

00:10:48.379 --> 00:10:49.040
 is not just

00:10:49.040 --> 00:10:49.660
 like a boat

00:10:49.660 --> 00:10:50.120
 floating

00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:51.139
 on the water

00:10:51.139 --> 00:10:51.899
 without a sail

00:10:51.899 --> 00:10:52.759
 and without a water,

00:10:53.300 --> 00:10:54.320
 that our relationship

00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:55.060
 with God

00:10:55.060 --> 00:10:55.820
 is governed

00:10:55.820 --> 00:10:56.620
 by covenant

00:10:56.620 --> 00:10:58.340
 and that

00:10:58.340 --> 00:10:58.940
 the name

00:10:58.940 --> 00:10:59.700
 of the Lord

00:10:59.700 --> 00:11:00.500
 who instituted

00:11:00.500 --> 00:11:01.120
 this covenant

00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:02.420
 is Yahweh

00:11:02.420 --> 00:11:03.360
 Lord.

00:11:04.300 --> 00:11:05.060
 So begin

00:11:05.060 --> 00:11:05.980
 by saying

00:11:05.980 --> 00:11:07.080
 O Lord.

00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:08.720
 He is focusing

00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:09.600
 on his personal

00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:10.220
 relationship

00:11:10.220 --> 00:11:10.879
 with God

00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:11.920
 and the word

00:11:11.920 --> 00:11:12.840
 Lord is used

00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:13.840
 more in this

00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:14.620
 chapter than

00:11:14.620 --> 00:11:15.480
 all of the book

00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:15.940
 of Daniel

00:11:15.940 --> 00:11:16.879
 put together.

00:11:18.140 --> 00:11:19.420
 So he is saying

00:11:19.420 --> 00:11:20.440
 understand

00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:21.840
 we are in a

00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:22.760
 covenant relationship

00:11:22.760 --> 00:11:24.680
 but I want you

00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:25.579
 to continue

00:11:25.579 --> 00:11:25.979
 reading.

00:11:26.479 --> 00:11:27.059
 O Lord

00:11:27.059 --> 00:11:28.239
 the great

00:11:28.239 --> 00:11:29.120
 and awesome

00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:29.699
 God

00:11:29.699 --> 00:11:30.799
 who keeps

00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:31.819
 his covenant

00:11:31.819 --> 00:11:32.759
 of love.

00:11:33.299 --> 00:11:33.739
 Lord

00:11:33.739 --> 00:11:34.479
 covenant.

00:11:35.059 --> 00:11:35.539
 That shouldn't

00:11:35.539 --> 00:11:36.279
 be surprised.

00:11:36.839 --> 00:11:37.259
 The name

00:11:37.259 --> 00:11:38.059
 of the Lord

00:11:38.059 --> 00:11:38.659
 of the covenant

00:11:38.659 --> 00:11:40.059
 is Yahweh.

00:11:40.859 --> 00:11:42.000
 So he is

00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:42.899
 focusing on the

00:11:42.899 --> 00:11:43.579
 fact that it

00:11:43.579 --> 00:11:44.299
 is covenant

00:11:44.299 --> 00:11:44.879
 but it's not

00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:45.759
 just any covenant

00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.399
 it is covenant

00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:48.319
 of love.

00:11:49.359 --> 00:11:50.519
 It is the covenant

00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:51.939
 that God uses

00:11:51.939 --> 00:11:53.299
 to show us

00:11:53.299 --> 00:11:54.059
 his love.

00:11:54.899 --> 00:11:55.840
 In their case

00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:56.879
 it's the Abrahamic

00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:57.159
 covenant

00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:58.039
 and the old

00:11:58.039 --> 00:11:58.340
 covenant.

00:11:58.740 --> 00:11:59.399
 In our case

00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:00.279
 it's right in front

00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:00.579
 of you.

00:12:02.460 --> 00:12:03.179
 As we were

00:12:03.179 --> 00:12:04.000
 taking this

00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:05.159
 we were affirming

00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:05.799
 that we are

00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:06.559
 in a covenant

00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:07.419
 of love

00:12:07.419 --> 00:12:08.399
 relationship

00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:09.120
 with God.

00:12:10.259 --> 00:12:11.199
 But this

00:12:11.199 --> 00:12:11.899
 expression

00:12:11.899 --> 00:12:13.059
 covenant of love

00:12:13.059 --> 00:12:14.159
 is very

00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:15.120
 very interesting

00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.000
 and I'm going

00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:17.879
 to be disappointed.

00:12:18.579 --> 00:12:18.840
 You're going to

00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:19.559
 hurt my feelings

00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:20.159
 if you don't get

00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:20.839
 the next point.

00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:22.739
 Where does this

00:12:22.739 --> 00:12:24.139
 expression come from?

00:12:24.659 --> 00:12:25.759
 It comes from

00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:26.759
 Deuteronomy

00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:28.359
 7.9.

00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:29.299
 If you have

00:12:29.299 --> 00:12:29.699
 Bible

00:12:29.699 --> 00:12:30.779
 please

00:12:30.779 --> 00:12:31.959
 turn to

00:12:31.959 --> 00:12:32.639
 Deuteronomy

00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:33.519
 7.9.

00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:34.879
 Deuteronomy

00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:35.719
 is the fifth

00:12:35.719 --> 00:12:36.359
 book in the

00:12:36.359 --> 00:12:36.799
 Old Testament.

00:12:37.119 --> 00:12:37.439
 Genesis

00:12:37.439 --> 00:12:38.399
 Exodus

00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:39.239
 Leviticus

00:12:39.239 --> 00:12:40.139
 Numbers

00:12:40.139 --> 00:12:41.019
 Deuteronomy.

00:12:42.599 --> 00:12:43.579
 Turn to

00:12:43.579 --> 00:12:44.659
 chapter 7

00:12:44.659 --> 00:12:46.159
 verse 9

00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:47.459
 and I want

00:12:47.459 --> 00:12:48.279
 you to see

00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:49.019
 something

00:12:49.019 --> 00:12:50.159
 really

00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:50.939
 really

00:12:50.939 --> 00:12:51.419
 important.

00:12:51.860 --> 00:12:52.480
 I wouldn't

00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:52.899
 make you

00:12:52.899 --> 00:12:53.360
 go back

00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:53.799
 and forth

00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:54.100
 if it

00:12:54.100 --> 00:12:54.379
 wasn't

00:12:54.379 --> 00:12:54.639
 really

00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:55.100
 important

00:12:55.100 --> 00:12:56.139
 but I

00:12:56.139 --> 00:12:56.460
 can't

00:12:56.460 --> 00:12:56.860
 imagine

00:12:56.860 --> 00:12:57.100
 you

00:12:57.100 --> 00:12:57.419
 missing

00:12:57.419 --> 00:12:57.720
 this

00:12:57.720 --> 00:12:58.059
 point

00:12:58.059 --> 00:12:58.679
 this

00:12:58.679 --> 00:12:59.019
 morning.

00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:00.240
 So in

00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:01.000
 Deuteronomy

00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:02.399
 chapter 7

00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:05.379
 look what

00:13:05.379 --> 00:13:06.220
 Moses

00:13:06.220 --> 00:13:09.199
 says.

00:13:11.079 --> 00:13:11.699
 This is

00:13:11.699 --> 00:13:11.960
 what the

00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:12.240
 Lord is

00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:12.539
 speaking.

00:13:12.539 --> 00:13:17.799
 so in

00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:18.519
 verse 9

00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:19.419
 7.9

00:13:19.419 --> 00:13:20.240
 Know

00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:21.019
 therefore

00:13:21.019 --> 00:13:22.120
 that the

00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:22.639
 Lord your

00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:23.480
 God is

00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:23.919
 God.

00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:25.240
 He is

00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:25.980
 the faithful

00:13:25.980 --> 00:13:26.620
 God

00:13:26.620 --> 00:13:28.139
 keeping his

00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:29.159
 covenant of

00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:29.659
 love

00:13:29.659 --> 00:13:30.799
 to

00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:31.519
 thousand

00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:32.579
 generations.

00:13:33.980 --> 00:13:34.599
 God

00:13:34.599 --> 00:13:35.439
 keeps his

00:13:35.439 --> 00:13:36.419
 covenant of

00:13:36.419 --> 00:13:37.599
 love to

00:13:37.599 --> 00:13:38.519
 thousands of

00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:39.019
 generations.

00:13:39.019 --> 00:13:39.220
 generations.

00:13:39.220 --> 00:13:40.740
 This is an

00:13:40.740 --> 00:13:41.500
 unannounced

00:13:41.500 --> 00:13:42.079
 quiz.

00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:43.539
 Where did you

00:13:43.539 --> 00:13:44.500
 see the word

00:13:44.500 --> 00:13:45.679
 thousand

00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:46.419
 generations

00:13:46.419 --> 00:13:47.319
 recently?

00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:51.279
 Last week

00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:53.279
 last sermon

00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:54.840
 God chose

00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:55.539
 his anger

00:13:55.539 --> 00:13:56.340
 to four

00:13:56.340 --> 00:13:57.079
 generations

00:13:57.079 --> 00:13:58.360
 but his

00:13:58.360 --> 00:13:59.179
 love to

00:13:59.179 --> 00:14:00.639
 thousand

00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:01.360
 generations.

00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:01.600
 generations.

00:14:02.820 --> 00:14:03.259
 And we

00:14:03.259 --> 00:14:03.879
 saw it in

00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:04.779
 Exodus and

00:14:04.779 --> 00:14:05.680
 God is

00:14:05.680 --> 00:14:06.500
 affirming it

00:14:06.500 --> 00:14:06.940
 here.

00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:08.360
 God chose

00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:09.200
 his covenant

00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:09.980
 of love

00:14:09.980 --> 00:14:10.960
 to thousand

00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:11.680
 generations.

00:14:12.779 --> 00:14:13.320
 God is

00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:14.519
 infinitely more

00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:15.519
 loving toward

00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:16.539
 us than he

00:14:16.539 --> 00:14:17.340
 is wrathful.

00:14:17.740 --> 00:14:18.659
 If we push

00:14:18.659 --> 00:14:19.379
 him hard enough

00:14:19.379 --> 00:14:19.960
 he will be

00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:20.500
 wrathful.

00:14:21.340 --> 00:14:21.899
 But that's

00:14:21.899 --> 00:14:22.720
 not how he

00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:23.300
 prefers to

00:14:23.300 --> 00:14:23.759
 operate.

00:14:24.460 --> 00:14:25.200
 He prefers

00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:25.720
 to show

00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:26.399
 his love.

00:14:27.779 --> 00:14:28.120
 And

00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:29.899
 Daniel is

00:14:29.899 --> 00:14:30.340
 thinking

00:14:30.340 --> 00:14:31.920
 God chose

00:14:31.920 --> 00:14:32.460
 his love

00:14:32.460 --> 00:14:33.060
 to a

00:14:33.060 --> 00:14:33.340
 thousand

00:14:33.340 --> 00:14:34.000
 generations

00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:34.920
 while he's

00:14:34.920 --> 00:14:35.639
 already showed

00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:36.280
 his wrath.

00:14:36.700 --> 00:14:37.060
 We've been

00:14:37.060 --> 00:14:37.680
 in captivity

00:14:37.680 --> 00:14:38.440
 for 70

00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:38.899
 years.

00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:40.060
 So maybe

00:14:40.060 --> 00:14:40.720
 it's time

00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:41.240
 for him

00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:41.680
 to show

00:14:41.680 --> 00:14:42.259
 his love.

00:14:43.180 --> 00:14:43.560
 And so

00:14:43.560 --> 00:14:44.379
 he wants

00:14:44.379 --> 00:14:45.680
 this God

00:14:45.680 --> 00:14:46.660
 who shows

00:14:46.660 --> 00:14:47.280
 his love

00:14:47.280 --> 00:14:48.379
 through covenant

00:14:48.379 --> 00:14:49.500
 to thousands

00:14:49.500 --> 00:14:50.280
 of generations

00:14:50.280 --> 00:14:51.139
 to move

00:14:51.139 --> 00:14:52.480
 to save.

00:14:53.420 --> 00:14:53.780
 So

00:14:53.780 --> 00:14:55.200
 let's take

00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:55.480
 a look

00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:56.320
 at

00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:57.259
 verse

00:14:57.259 --> 00:14:58.180
 17.

00:14:58.179 --> 00:15:00.339
 Daniel

00:15:00.339 --> 00:15:00.959
 back to

00:15:00.959 --> 00:15:01.399
 Daniel

00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:02.699
 Daniel

00:15:02.699 --> 00:15:03.639
 chapter 9

00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:05.259
 verse 17.

00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:10.639
 Now

00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:11.199
 our

00:15:11.199 --> 00:15:11.679
 God

00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:12.899
 hear

00:15:12.899 --> 00:15:13.219
 the

00:15:13.219 --> 00:15:13.639
 prayer

00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:14.000
 and

00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:14.519
 petitions

00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:14.959
 of your

00:15:14.959 --> 00:15:15.459
 servant

00:15:15.459 --> 00:15:17.120
 for your

00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:17.579
 sake

00:15:17.579 --> 00:15:17.919
 O

00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:18.259
 Lord

00:15:18.259 --> 00:15:19.219
 look with

00:15:19.219 --> 00:15:19.599
 favor

00:15:19.599 --> 00:15:20.099
 on this

00:15:20.099 --> 00:15:20.500
 desolate

00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:21.079
 sanctuary.

00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:23.379
 Give

00:15:23.379 --> 00:15:23.759
 ear

00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:24.139
 O

00:15:24.139 --> 00:15:24.519
 God

00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:25.120
 and hear

00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:26.299
 open

00:15:26.299 --> 00:15:26.599
 your

00:15:26.599 --> 00:15:27.139
 eyes

00:15:27.139 --> 00:15:30.439
 and see

00:15:30.439 --> 00:15:30.679
 the

00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:31.259
 desolation

00:15:31.259 --> 00:15:31.639
 of the

00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:31.919
 city

00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:32.299
 that

00:15:32.299 --> 00:15:33.099
 bears

00:15:33.099 --> 00:15:33.359
 your

00:15:33.359 --> 00:15:33.779
 name.

00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:39.839
 So

00:15:39.839 --> 00:15:40.959
 what he

00:15:40.959 --> 00:15:41.479
 wants to

00:15:41.479 --> 00:15:41.899
 do is

00:15:41.899 --> 00:15:42.620
 to appeal

00:15:42.620 --> 00:15:43.339
 to God

00:15:43.339 --> 00:15:44.359
 and what

00:15:44.359 --> 00:15:44.740
 is he

00:15:44.740 --> 00:15:45.199
 going to

00:15:45.199 --> 00:15:45.799
 appeal

00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:46.779
 based on?

00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:48.500
 He is

00:15:48.500 --> 00:15:49.479
 asking God

00:15:49.479 --> 00:15:50.359
 to make

00:15:50.359 --> 00:15:51.139
 his face

00:15:51.139 --> 00:15:52.099
 shine

00:15:52.099 --> 00:15:52.879
 on them.

00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.340
 he wants

00:15:56.340 --> 00:15:57.000
 God

00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:57.460
 to

00:15:57.460 --> 00:15:58.840
 forgive

00:15:58.840 --> 00:15:59.139
 them.

00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:00.500
 Verse

00:16:00.500 --> 00:16:01.059
 18

00:16:01.059 --> 00:16:01.419
 is

00:16:01.419 --> 00:16:01.960
 really

00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:02.559
 incredible

00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:03.740
 because

00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:04.320
 he says

00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:04.639
 give

00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:05.000
 ear

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:05.220
 O

00:16:05.220 --> 00:16:05.580
 God

00:16:05.580 --> 00:16:05.879
 and

00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:06.259
 hear

00:16:06.259 --> 00:16:07.259
 open

00:16:07.259 --> 00:16:07.519
 your

00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:08.000
 eyes

00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:08.279
 and

00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:08.519
 see

00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:08.720
 the

00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:09.279
 desolation

00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:09.659
 of the

00:16:09.659 --> 00:16:09.899
 city

00:16:09.899 --> 00:16:10.139
 that

00:16:10.139 --> 00:16:10.419
 bears

00:16:10.419 --> 00:16:10.639
 your

00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:11.000
 name.

00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:12.059
 We

00:16:12.059 --> 00:16:12.419
 do

00:16:12.419 --> 00:16:12.720
 not

00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:13.059
 make

00:16:13.059 --> 00:16:13.679
 requests

00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:13.960
 of

00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:14.120
 you

00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:14.580
 because

00:16:14.580 --> 00:16:14.960
 we

00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:15.279
 are

00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:15.779
 righteous

00:16:15.779 --> 00:16:16.720
 but

00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:17.279
 because

00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:17.600
 of

00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:17.779
 your

00:16:17.779 --> 00:16:18.220
 great

00:16:18.220 --> 00:16:18.720
 mercy.

00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:19.580
 He's

00:16:19.580 --> 00:16:19.759
 saying

00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:20.139
 Lord

00:16:20.139 --> 00:16:20.639
 please

00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:21.059
 answer

00:16:21.059 --> 00:16:21.340
 my

00:16:21.340 --> 00:16:21.700
 prayer

00:16:21.700 --> 00:16:22.100
 not

00:16:22.100 --> 00:16:22.520
 because

00:16:22.520 --> 00:16:22.900
 I

00:16:22.900 --> 00:16:23.100
 am

00:16:23.100 --> 00:16:23.500
 righteous

00:16:23.500 --> 00:16:24.240
 but

00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:24.640
 because

00:16:24.640 --> 00:16:24.840
 you

00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:25.020
 are

00:16:25.020 --> 00:16:25.420
 merciful.

00:16:26.020 --> 00:16:26.280
 I

00:16:26.280 --> 00:16:26.580
 want

00:16:26.580 --> 00:16:26.700
 you

00:16:26.700 --> 00:16:26.840
 to

00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:27.040
 see

00:16:27.040 --> 00:16:27.480
 something.

00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:28.100
 This

00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:28.379
 looks

00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:28.940
 straightforward.

00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:29.560
 It's

00:16:29.560 --> 00:16:29.900
 not.

00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:30.540
 It's

00:16:30.540 --> 00:16:31.080
 very

00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:31.960
 important.

00:16:32.920 --> 00:16:33.160
 If

00:16:33.160 --> 00:16:33.300
 you

00:16:33.300 --> 00:16:33.500
 go

00:16:33.500 --> 00:16:33.800
 one

00:16:33.800 --> 00:16:34.020
 book

00:16:34.020 --> 00:16:34.340
 before

00:16:34.340 --> 00:16:34.720
 Daniel

00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:35.140
 it's

00:16:35.140 --> 00:16:35.740
 Ezekiel.

00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:36.759
 Please

00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:37.320
 turn to

00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:37.980
 Ezekiel

00:16:37.980 --> 00:16:38.900
 chapter

00:16:38.900 --> 00:16:39.800
 14.

00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:43.020
 Ezekiel

00:16:43.020 --> 00:16:43.759
 is also

00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:44.700
 praying

00:16:44.700 --> 00:16:45.840
 and God

00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:46.420
 is talking

00:16:46.420 --> 00:16:47.379
 with Ezekiel

00:16:47.379 --> 00:16:48.320
 about

00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:48.820
 this.

00:16:49.680 --> 00:16:49.920
 The

00:16:49.920 --> 00:16:50.480
 background

00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:51.440
 is this.

00:16:51.700 --> 00:16:52.140
 The

00:16:52.140 --> 00:16:52.560
 background

00:16:52.560 --> 00:16:53.100
 comes

00:16:53.100 --> 00:16:53.420
 from

00:16:53.420 --> 00:16:55.620
 Abraham.

00:16:56.180 --> 00:16:56.800
 God

00:16:56.800 --> 00:16:57.160
 wanted

00:16:57.160 --> 00:16:57.420
 to

00:16:57.420 --> 00:16:57.980
 destroy

00:16:57.980 --> 00:16:58.400
 Solomon

00:16:58.400 --> 00:16:58.560
 and

00:16:58.560 --> 00:16:59.040
 Gomorrah

00:16:59.040 --> 00:16:59.800
 and

00:16:59.800 --> 00:17:00.980
 Abraham

00:17:00.980 --> 00:17:01.560
 starts

00:17:01.560 --> 00:17:01.759
 to

00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:02.320
 intercede.

00:17:02.900 --> 00:17:03.300
 Lord

00:17:03.300 --> 00:17:03.900
 if

00:17:03.900 --> 00:17:04.100
 there

00:17:04.100 --> 00:17:04.319
 are

00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:04.940
 40

00:17:04.940 --> 00:17:05.340
 righteous

00:17:05.340 --> 00:17:05.779
 people

00:17:05.779 --> 00:17:06.019
 would

00:17:06.019 --> 00:17:06.160
 you

00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:06.420
 not

00:17:06.420 --> 00:17:06.779
 forgive

00:17:06.779 --> 00:17:06.980
 the

00:17:06.980 --> 00:17:07.180
 whole

00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:07.480
 city?

00:17:08.080 --> 00:17:08.200
 And

00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:08.420
 God

00:17:08.420 --> 00:17:08.740
 says

00:17:08.740 --> 00:17:09.039
 yes

00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:09.279
 for

00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:09.480
 the

00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:09.740
 sake

00:17:09.740 --> 00:17:09.920
 of

00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:10.319
 40

00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:10.799
 I

00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:11.000
 will

00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:11.420
 forgive.

00:17:12.340 --> 00:17:12.779
 Lord

00:17:12.779 --> 00:17:13.460
 if

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:13.680
 there

00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:13.980
 are

00:17:13.980 --> 00:17:14.960
 30

00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:15.400
 would

00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:15.519
 you

00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:15.740
 not

00:17:15.740 --> 00:17:16.200
 forgive?

00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:16.640
 I

00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:16.819
 will

00:17:16.819 --> 00:17:17.279
 forgive.

00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:17.960
 So

00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:18.140
 he

00:17:18.140 --> 00:17:18.440
 keeps

00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:19.100
 interceding

00:17:19.100 --> 00:17:19.400
 and

00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:19.779
 lowering

00:17:19.779 --> 00:17:20.100
 the

00:17:20.100 --> 00:17:20.500
 number.

00:17:21.700 --> 00:17:23.480
 And

00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:23.819
 then

00:17:23.819 --> 00:17:24.960
 from that

00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:25.580
 grew up

00:17:25.580 --> 00:17:26.080
 the idea

00:17:26.080 --> 00:17:26.600
 that for

00:17:26.600 --> 00:17:26.880
 the

00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:27.279
 sake

00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:27.759
 of the

00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:28.140
 righteous

00:17:28.140 --> 00:17:28.720
 few

00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:29.900
 God

00:17:29.900 --> 00:17:30.240
 will

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:30.759
 spare

00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:31.819
 the

00:17:31.819 --> 00:17:33.640
 larger

00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:34.279
 sinful

00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:34.819
 city.

00:17:36.080 --> 00:17:36.600
 Now

00:17:36.600 --> 00:17:37.980
 what

00:17:37.980 --> 00:17:38.759
 Ezekiel

00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:39.259
 is saying

00:17:39.259 --> 00:17:39.860
 in chapter

00:17:39.860 --> 00:17:40.380
 14

00:17:40.380 --> 00:17:41.900
 is that

00:17:41.900 --> 00:17:43.319
 in this

00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:43.779
 case

00:17:43.779 --> 00:17:45.460
 this is

00:17:45.460 --> 00:17:46.039
 not going

00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:46.680
 to work

00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:47.740
 that

00:17:47.740 --> 00:17:48.220
 even

00:17:48.220 --> 00:17:48.539
 if

00:17:48.539 --> 00:17:48.839
 these

00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:49.460
 great

00:17:49.460 --> 00:17:50.099
 prayer

00:17:50.099 --> 00:17:50.799
 warriors

00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:51.480
 pray

00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:52.220
 they

00:17:52.220 --> 00:17:52.519
 are

00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:52.799
 not

00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:53.019
 going

00:17:53.019 --> 00:17:53.200
 to

00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:54.420
 cause

00:17:54.420 --> 00:17:54.740
 God

00:17:54.740 --> 00:17:54.940
 to

00:17:54.940 --> 00:17:55.319
 relent.

00:17:55.980 --> 00:17:56.119
 And

00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:56.359
 he

00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:56.940
 mentions

00:17:56.940 --> 00:17:57.379
 three

00:17:57.379 --> 00:17:57.599
 of

00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:57.859
 them

00:17:57.859 --> 00:17:59.220
 Noah

00:17:59.220 --> 00:18:01.119
 Daniel

00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:01.980
 and

00:18:01.980 --> 00:18:02.359
 Job.

00:18:03.639 --> 00:18:04.159
 I

00:18:04.159 --> 00:18:04.319
 would

00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:04.460
 have

00:18:04.460 --> 00:18:04.740
 thought

00:18:04.740 --> 00:18:05.339
 Noah

00:18:05.339 --> 00:18:06.399
 Moses

00:18:06.399 --> 00:18:07.039
 and

00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:07.359
 Job.

00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:07.759
 No

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:08.220
 it's

00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:08.700
 Noah

00:18:08.700 --> 00:18:10.059
 Daniel

00:18:10.059 --> 00:18:10.440
 and

00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:10.700
 Job.

00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:11.159
 See

00:18:11.159 --> 00:18:11.420
 that

00:18:11.420 --> 00:18:11.720
 it's

00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:11.920
 in

00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:12.380
 Ezekiel

00:18:12.380 --> 00:18:12.900
 14

00:18:12.900 --> 00:18:13.320
 14.

00:18:15.120 --> 00:18:15.880
 Who

00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:16.080
 is

00:18:16.080 --> 00:18:16.300
 this

00:18:16.300 --> 00:18:16.700
 Daniel?

00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:18.019
 There

00:18:18.019 --> 00:18:18.180
 are

00:18:18.180 --> 00:18:18.380
 two

00:18:18.380 --> 00:18:19.100
 Daniels.

00:18:19.539 --> 00:18:19.700
 There

00:18:19.700 --> 00:18:19.920
 is

00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:20.300
 a

00:18:20.300 --> 00:18:20.680
 figure

00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:21.140
 in

00:18:21.140 --> 00:18:22.140
 Ugaritic

00:18:22.140 --> 00:18:22.740
 mythology

00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:24.160
 and

00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:24.400
 then

00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:24.640
 there

00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:24.820
 is

00:18:24.820 --> 00:18:25.019
 the

00:18:25.019 --> 00:18:25.380
 prophet.

00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:28.980
 Ezekiel

00:19:02.459 --> 00:19:02.759
 God

00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:02.939
 is

00:19:02.939 --> 00:19:03.219
 putting

00:19:03.219 --> 00:19:03.399

00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.960
 I

00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:12.140

00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:16.400

 doesn't

00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:37.819
 listen

00:20:37.819 --> 00:20:38.019
 to

00:20:38.019 --> 00:20:38.240
 us

00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:38.599
 because

00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:38.839
 I

00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:39.000
 have

00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:39.160
 been

00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:39.519
 faithful

00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:39.839
 all

00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:40.079
 week

00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:40.399
 long

00:20:40.399 --> 00:20:41.000
 so

00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:41.279
 now

00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:41.480
 I

00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:41.639
 need

00:20:41.639 --> 00:20:41.779
 to

00:20:41.779 --> 00:20:42.019
 collect

00:20:42.019 --> 00:20:42.259
 my

00:20:42.259 --> 00:20:42.720
 reward

00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:43.440
 he

00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:43.940
 listens

00:20:43.940 --> 00:20:44.200
 to

00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:44.460
 us

00:20:44.460 --> 00:20:45.240
 because

00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:45.799
 he

00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:46.119
 is

00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:46.720
 merciful

00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:47.879
 he

00:20:47.879 --> 00:20:48.339
 is

00:20:48.339 --> 00:20:49.759
 loving

00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:50.859
 he

00:20:50.859 --> 00:20:51.420
 holds

00:20:51.420 --> 00:20:52.220
 generations

00:20:52.220 --> 00:20:53.000
 for

00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:53.639
 thousand

00:20:53.639 --> 00:20:54.119
 times

00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:55.099
 so

00:20:55.099 --> 00:20:57.519
 God

00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:58.180
 is inviting

00:20:58.180 --> 00:20:58.519
 us

00:20:58.519 --> 00:20:59.240
 to pray

00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:00.200
 and

00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:00.380
 to

00:21:00.380 --> 00:21:00.900
 remember

00:21:00.900 --> 00:21:01.859
 his

00:21:01.859 --> 00:21:02.579
 covenant

00:21:02.579 --> 00:21:03.079
 of

00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:03.480
 love

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:04.579
 if

00:21:04.579 --> 00:21:04.720
 you

00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:05.120
 think

00:21:05.120 --> 00:21:05.359
 you

00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:05.559
 can

00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:05.839

00:21:09.299 --> 00:21:10.339
 but

00:21:10.339 --> 00:21:10.480
 you

00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:10.740
 haven't

00:21:10.740 --> 00:21:11.000
 even

00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:11.480
 started

00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:12.059
