00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:14.000
 We're going to read Revelation chapter 6 this morning.

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:21.000
 Let's read God's word together.

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:31.000
 I watched as the lamb opened the first of seven seals.

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:35.000
 Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like a thunder,

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.000
 Come!

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.000
 I looked and there before me was a white horse.

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.000
 Its rider held a bow.

00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:49.000
 He was given a crown and he rode out as a conquest, bent on conquest.

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:54.000
 When the lamb opened the second seal I heard the second living creature say,

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.000
 Come!

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.000
 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one.

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:06.000
 Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other.

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.000
 To him was given a large sword.

00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:14.000
 When the lamb opened the third seal I heard the third living creature say,

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:15.000
 Come!

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.000
 I looked and there before me was a black horse.

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.000
 Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.

00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.000
 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures saying,

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:31.000
 A kilogram of wheat for a day's wages.

00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:35.000
 And three kilograms of barley for a day's wages.

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.000
 And do not damage the oil and the wine.

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:45.000
 When the lamb opened the fourth seal I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say,

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.000
 Come!

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.000
 I looked and there before me was a pale horse.

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:55.000
 Its rider was named Death and Hades was following close behind him.

00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:01.000
 They were given power over a quarter of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague,

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.000
 and by the wild beasts of the earth.

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:12.000
 When he opened the fifth seal I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.000
 because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.000
 They called out in a loud voice,

00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:28.000
 How long, sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:33.000
 Then each of them was given a white robe and they were told to wait a little while longer

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:42.000
 until a full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters were killed just as they had been.

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.000
 I watched as he opened the sixth seal.

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.000
 There was a great earthquake.

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:52.000
 The sun turned black with sackcloth made of goat hair.

00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:57.000
 The whole moon turned blood red and the stars of the sky fell to the earth

00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:01.000
 as figs dropped from the fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:06.000
 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.000
 and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:15.000
 Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty and everyone else,

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:21.000
 both free and slave, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:24.000
 They called to the mountains and the rocks,

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:30.000
 Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb.

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:35.000
 For the great day of their wrath has come.

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:37.000
 And who can withstand it?

00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:42.000
 Well, I'm going to ask you to stand as we pray.

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:46.000
 So you can stand as we pray.

00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.000
 If you're able to, if you don't want to stand, that's alright.

00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:51.000
 It's also a physical exercise.

00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.000
 Get some blood into the legs.

00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:55.000
 Let's pray.

00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:56.000
 Let's pray.

00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:03.000
 Our Father God, we ask that you would help us now as we read your word,

00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:06.000
 as we study it together.

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.000
 That you would speak to us by your spirit.

00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:16.000
 and that you would change us and work in us, we pray.

00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:17.000
 In Jesus' name.

00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:18.000
 Amen.

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.000
 Please take your seats.

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:37.000
 It's been a very sad and difficult week for our nation.

00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:41.000
 As the community of Creslo have been grieving,

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:46.000
 as we have turned on our televisions and watched funeral after funeral,

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:53.000
 we see the heartache and we witness the emptiness.

00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:58.000
 But as the dust settles, questions begin to arise.

00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:03.000
 Where is God in all of this?

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:11.000
 And I think it's a question that we all ask as we face our own personal struggles and suffering.

00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.000
 It could be an illness.

00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.000
 It could be a disappointment.

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.000
 It could be a broken dream.

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.000
 And we ask, where is God?

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:24.000
 Why is God allowing this?

00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:28.000
 What is God doing?

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:33.000
 Well, chapter 6 might not answer our every question,

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:38.000
 but it will help us to see life from God's perspective.

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:43.000
 Remember, have a look back at chapter 4, verse 1.

00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.000
 John is given his second vision.

00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.000
 He says, after this, after the first vision, I looked,

00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.000
 and there before me was a door standing open in heaven

00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:57.000
 so we can imagine him looking up and a door opens before him.

00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:02.000
 And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said,

00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:11.000
 come up here, come up into heaven, and I will show you what must take place after this.

00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:19.000
 You see, we've been invited with John to go through the door into the throne room of heaven.

00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:24.000
 And as we enter, we get to see life from God's perspective.

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:29.000
 But that's not all. Look at chapter 5, verse 1.

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:36.000
 As he is in heaven, he says, I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne.

00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:47.000
 So God is seated on the throne, and he has a scroll with writing on both sides, sealed with seven seals.

00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.000
 What's written on the throne?

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.000
 Well, it's God's purposes and plans for history in the world,

00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:59.000
 from the resurrection of Christ to the return of Christ.

00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:07.000
 As that seal is opened, so we will begin to see what is God's plan,

00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:13.000
 what is God's purposes for the world as they are laid before us.

00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:19.000
 So we're going to look at the first six seals this morning.

00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:24.000
 And as we open them, we will see what we can expect to happen.

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:32.000
 First, there will be times of suffering.

00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:44.000
 As the first four seals are opened, we see four horsemen being unleashed on the earth with devastating effects.

00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:51.000
 But before we see what they do, we need to ask, who are these four horsemen?

00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:58.000
 Well, at some level, they seem to represent the powers and authorities of this world.

00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:08.000
 So we come to them in verse 15, where it talks about the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich and the mighty.

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:16.000
 But as we read through chapter 6, we see there's something darker and more sinister.

00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:27.000
 Behind the evil actions of the powers and authorities of this world is the work of Satan, whose purpose is to bring death and destruction.

00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:40.000
 So as these four horsemen are unleashed upon the world, we see the rulers carrying out the sinister intentions of Satan and his minions.

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:45.000
 So what can we expect to happen?

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:53.000
 Well, there's four things that we see here as we study the first four horsemen.

00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:56.000
 First, there will be military conquest.

00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.000
 Look at verse 2.

00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.000
 I looked and there before me was a white horse.

00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:04.000
 Its rider held a bow.

00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.000
 This is a weapon of war.

00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.000
 And he was given a crown, so he has a certain amount of authority.

00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:14.000
 And he rode out as a conqueror, bent on conquest.

00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:18.000
 Now that's familiar, isn't it?

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:26.000
 Because right now there are wars and conflicts all over the world as rulers expand their borders.

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:39.000
 We see it in Yemen, in Syria, Ethiopia, Central Africa, Kashmir, Myanmar, and of course the daily reminder of the war in Ukraine.

00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:50.000
 In fact, right now there are over 490 separate wars going on in the world right now.

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:53.000
 But not only will there be military conquest.

00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:59.000
 We're told there will be violent bloodshed.

00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:01.000
 Look at verse 4.

00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.000
 Then another horse came out.

00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.000
 A fiery red one.

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:12.000
 Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other.

00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:15.000
 To him was given a large sword.

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:24.000
 Again, our news is filled, isn't it, with stabbings, shootings, domestic abuse and violent crime.

00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:29.000
 Whether it's the slaughter of innocent children in the creche in Thailand.

00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:32.000
 Or a mindless murder at that funeral in Tralee.

00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.000
 Gangs on the street.

00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.000
 Or the wealthy suburbs.

00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.000
 It doesn't matter where we look.

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:42.000
 People kill each other.

00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:45.000
 They take each other's life.

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:50.000
 But it's not just military conquest and violent bloodshed.

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:53.000
 We see economic injustice.

00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.000
 Look at verse 5.

00:11:55.000 --> 00:12:00.000
 I looked and there before me was a black horse.

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:03.000
 Its rider was holding a pair of scales.

00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:06.000
 This is a weighing scales in his hand.

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:11.000
 And I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures saying,

00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:14.000
 A kilogram of wheat for a day's wages.

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:18.000
 And three kilograms of barley for a day's wages.

00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.000
 And do not damage the oil and the wine.

00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:22.000
 It's scarce.

00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:25.000
 We must be careful with what we have.

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:32.000
 This is a picture of extortion and inflation gone mad.

00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:37.000
 A kilogram of wheat would have fed one person.

00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:41.000
 Yet it would cost a day's wage.

00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:47.000
 So how were people meant to feed their whole family on a day's wage?

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:53.000
 But again, that's nothing new for the majority of the world's population today.

00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:57.000
 The cost of living crisis is nothing new.

00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:06.000
 What they earn today in the majority of many countries is not enough to feed themselves adequately.

00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:13.000
 It's the effects of economic injustice as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:19.000
 We get military conquest, violent bloodshed, economic injustice,

00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:24.000
 and then fourth as we look at the last rider, relentless death.

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.000
 Look at verse 8.

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:29.000
 I looked and there before me was a pale horse.

00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:32.000
 Its rider was named Death and Hades.

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:34.000
 That's the place of the dead.

00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:37.000
 And he was following close behind him.

00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:45.000
 They were given power over a quarter of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague,

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:50.000
 and by the wild beasts of the earth.

00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:53.000
 Now we know death comes to all.

00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:58.000
 And it is very rarely quick and painless.

00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:05.000
 Tragically, death comes through disasters like floods and famine, sickness and plagues,

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:10.000
 through the attacks of men and at times through the attacks of wild animals.

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:15.000
 The point is, we can't avoid death.

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:20.000
 And mostly it comes with great suffering.

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:25.000
 The scene before us is devastating and horrific.

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:30.000
 And we don't have to go looking into the future for these things to happen.

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:32.000
 They have happened.

00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.000
 They are happening.

00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:36.000
 And they will happen.

00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:39.000
 In fact, as we continue to read through Revelation,

00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:42.000
 we will see that things only escalate and get worse.

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:45.000
 This is what life is like.

00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:49.000
 This side of the return of Jesus.

00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:54.000
 It's what John and his readers experienced in the first century

00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.000
 as the Roman Empire went on their military conquests,

00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:03.000
 inflicting violent bloodshed, causing imminent economic injustice

00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:06.000
 and leaving countless dead.

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:09.000
 It's what we've seen in recent history.

00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:15.000
 The war in the Balkans, invasion of Iraq, genocide in Syria.

00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:20.000
 Thousands, millions have been slaughtered

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:26.000
 while others face starvation through failed crops and droughts.

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:30.000
 These are times of suffering, aren't they?

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.000
 But let's be clear.

00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:41.000
 This is not evil unrestrained or Satan uncontrolled.

00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:46.000
 Now we've got to remember, where does this vision take place?

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:54.000
 In the throne room of heaven, where God is in control of all things,

00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:59.000
 even the powers of darkness.

00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:07.000
 You see, Satan is controlled.

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.000
 Satan is controlled.

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:15.000
 Look who gives permission for these things to take place.

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:20.000
 Who is it that's breaking open the seals to let this take place?

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:23.000
 Did you see it? Verse 1.

00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:25.000
 I watched as who?

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.000
 The Lamb.

00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:34.000
 That's the Lord Jesus, who opens the first of the seven seals.

00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.000
 Verse 3, the Lamb opened the second seal.

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.000
 Verse 5, the Lamb opened the third seal.

00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:44.000
 Verse 7, the Lamb opened the fourth seal.

00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:50.000
 The order comes from the throne room of heaven.

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:53.000
 You see, Satan is not acting at will.

00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:56.000
 He is under God's supreme control.

00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:01.000
 It's God who lets Satan loose.

00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:02.000
 It's God who moves.

00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:06.000
 But this is not uncontrolled chaos.

00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:07.000
 Evil.

00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:15.000
 Evil is restrained.

00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.000
 Look at verse 4.

00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.000
 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one.

00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.839
 its rider was given power.

00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:27.140
 Did you see that?

00:17:27.259 --> 00:17:30.019
 The rider was given power.

00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:32.359
 It doesn't have its own power.

00:17:32.539 --> 00:17:36.400
 It was given power to take peace from the earth.

00:17:37.779 --> 00:17:40.059
 Power, but it's restrained.

00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:42.339
 Again, look at verse 8.

00:17:43.259 --> 00:17:44.759
 The middle of verse 8.

00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:49.339
 They were given power over a quarter of the earth

00:17:49.339 --> 00:17:54.259
 to kill by sword, famine and plague.

00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:57.279
 You see, it's restrained.

00:17:57.779 --> 00:18:00.159
 It's just to a quarter of the earth.

00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:02.480
 Now, this isn't just to say to take that

00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:06.019
 literally just a quarter, 25% and that's it.

00:18:06.419 --> 00:18:10.899
 No, it's saying you can go this far and no further.

00:18:10.899 --> 00:18:14.699
 There are boundaries you will not cross.

00:18:16.259 --> 00:18:19.119
 You see, we need to be clear that God alone

00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:21.259
 rules over the powers of darkness.

00:18:21.819 --> 00:18:24.439
 Satan may be intent on causing evil,

00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:26.659
 but he remains on a leash.

00:18:28.139 --> 00:18:30.699
 He cannot do what he wants or pleases.

00:18:34.699 --> 00:18:38.259
 So if God is in control of these times of suffering,

00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:42.919
 then why doesn't he make it all stop?

00:18:44.179 --> 00:18:45.539
 Isn't that the question?

00:18:45.539 --> 00:18:48.440
 If he's in control of it all,

00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:50.980
 why doesn't he pull the leash

00:18:50.980 --> 00:18:54.819
 and restrain Satan that little bit more

00:18:54.819 --> 00:18:57.220
 and put him back in his cage?

00:18:58.839 --> 00:18:59.399
 Why?

00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:06.539
 Well, that brings us to the second big idea.

00:19:06.539 --> 00:19:10.960
 Not only is there times of suffering,

00:19:11.819 --> 00:19:13.440
 there will be cries of longing.

00:19:14.700 --> 00:19:17.859
 Because it seems that these times that we live in

00:19:17.859 --> 00:19:20.180
 will be doubly hard for Christians.

00:19:21.180 --> 00:19:24.319
 Not only will we face the suffering inflicted by man,

00:19:25.259 --> 00:19:27.859
 but Christians will also endure times of opposition

00:19:28.399 --> 00:19:29.259
 and persecution.

00:19:30.399 --> 00:19:31.559
 Look at verse 9.

00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:37.319
 Verse 9.

00:19:37.879 --> 00:19:39.539
 When he opened the fifth seal,

00:19:39.639 --> 00:19:41.259
 I saw under the altar

00:19:41.259 --> 00:19:45.059
 the souls of those who had been slain

00:19:45.059 --> 00:19:47.019
 because of the word of God

00:19:47.019 --> 00:19:48.899
 and the testimony they had maintained.

00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:52.619
 Just as the lamb had been slain,

00:19:53.379 --> 00:19:56.460
 so the followers of Jesus will be slain.

00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:59.700
 Remember Jesus' words to his disciples,

00:19:59.700 --> 00:20:01.880
 if they persecuted me,

00:20:02.420 --> 00:20:05.000
 they will also persecute you.

00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:08.000
 You see, the world and Satan

00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:12.680
 are actively opposed to Christ and his church.

00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:16.120
 That was the experience of the churches

00:20:16.120 --> 00:20:17.240
 that John wrote to.

00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:20.180
 Have a look back at chapter 2, verse 10.

00:20:22.980 --> 00:20:24.640
 Chapter 2, verse 10.

00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:24.660
 Chapter 2, verse 10.

00:20:29.700 --> 00:20:36.100
 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer.

00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:39.259
 This is written to God's church.

00:20:40.220 --> 00:20:43.360
 I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison

00:20:43.360 --> 00:20:44.960
 to test you

00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:49.240
 and you will suffer persecution for 10 days.

00:20:50.360 --> 00:20:51.779
 Now again, I think it's saying

00:20:51.779 --> 00:20:54.120
 this is for a specific time

00:20:54.120 --> 00:20:55.940
 and no more.

00:20:55.940 --> 00:21:02.039
 Be faithful even to the point of death

00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:04.860
 and I will give you life

00:21:04.860 --> 00:21:06.779
 as your victor's crown.

00:21:07.620 --> 00:21:09.559
 A crown awaits for the Christian

00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:11.740
 but in the meantime,

00:21:12.740 --> 00:21:14.200
 be prepared for prison

00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:17.580
 and possibly death.

00:21:18.620 --> 00:21:20.539
 Look at chapter 2, verse 13.

00:21:21.320 --> 00:21:22.740
 I know where you live.

00:21:22.740 --> 00:21:25.059
 I know where you live.

00:21:25.740 --> 00:21:27.940
 And Satan has his throne there.

00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:32.940
 Yet you remain true to my name.

00:21:33.900 --> 00:21:36.299
 You did not renounce your faith in me,

00:21:36.660 --> 00:21:38.839
 not even in the days of Antipas.

00:21:39.140 --> 00:21:40.380
 Well, who's Antipas?

00:21:41.259 --> 00:21:43.460
 Well, he was just a faithful brother,

00:21:44.700 --> 00:21:45.839
 a faithful Christian.

00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:48.559
 My faithful witness

00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:51.639
 who was put to death in your city

00:21:51.639 --> 00:21:53.759
 where Satan lives.

00:21:54.819 --> 00:21:56.839
 You see, where the church is,

00:21:57.740 --> 00:22:00.700
 whether that's in Carigoline or Jelan,

00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:03.539
 Satan is also there

00:22:03.539 --> 00:22:06.879
 and he is intent on destroying

00:22:06.879 --> 00:22:10.099
 and breaking up his church,

00:22:10.339 --> 00:22:11.179
 God's church.

00:22:11.180 --> 00:22:13.920
 So it shouldn't be a surprise

00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:14.940
 that Christians

00:22:14.940 --> 00:22:17.140
 will be opposed

00:22:17.140 --> 00:22:18.340
 and will die.

00:22:18.840 --> 00:22:20.920
 Go back to chapter 6, verse 9.

00:22:22.460 --> 00:22:24.900
 The reason why we will face opposition

00:22:24.900 --> 00:22:25.860
 and persecution

00:22:25.860 --> 00:22:27.560
 is because,

00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:28.700
 end of verse 9,

00:22:29.299 --> 00:22:31.120
 because of the word of God

00:22:31.120 --> 00:22:32.720
 and the testimony

00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:34.640
 they had maintained.

00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.580
 Now, as we go through

00:22:38.580 --> 00:22:39.900
 our times of suffering,

00:22:41.040 --> 00:22:42.380
 we can identify

00:22:42.380 --> 00:22:44.140
 with their cry.

00:22:45.220 --> 00:22:46.420
 Look at verse 10.

00:22:47.280 --> 00:22:48.640
 They all cried out

00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:49.920
 in a loud voice,

00:22:50.780 --> 00:22:51.900
 How long,

00:22:52.220 --> 00:22:53.340
 sovereign Lord,

00:22:53.980 --> 00:22:55.120
 holy and true?

00:22:56.300 --> 00:22:57.520
 How long

00:22:57.520 --> 00:22:59.720
 will this suffering

00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:00.720
 go on for?

00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:03.299
 How long

00:23:03.299 --> 00:23:04.299
 must we put up

00:23:04.299 --> 00:23:05.420
 with this brutal war

00:23:05.420 --> 00:23:06.400
 in Ukraine?

00:23:07.700 --> 00:23:08.819
 How long

00:23:08.819 --> 00:23:09.920
 must we have to hear

00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:10.740
 of yet another

00:23:10.740 --> 00:23:11.720
 violent murder?

00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:14.000
 How long

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:14.900
 must we watch

00:23:14.900 --> 00:23:15.620
 as children

00:23:15.620 --> 00:23:16.660
 become victims

00:23:16.660 --> 00:23:17.480
 of poverty?

00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:19.819
 How long

00:23:19.819 --> 00:23:21.039
 must we have to see

00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:22.400
 so many loved ones

00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:23.920
 die painfully?

00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:26.839
 We understand

00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:27.579
 verse 10,

00:23:27.700 --> 00:23:28.160
 don't we?

00:23:29.180 --> 00:23:30.140
 They called out,

00:23:30.140 --> 00:23:31.100
 How long,

00:23:31.300 --> 00:23:32.000
 sovereign Lord,

00:23:32.120 --> 00:23:33.020
 holy and true,

00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:34.460
 until you judge

00:23:34.460 --> 00:23:35.240
 the inhabitants

00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:36.100
 of the earth

00:23:36.100 --> 00:23:37.700
 and avenge our blood.

00:23:38.120 --> 00:23:39.759
 When will justice

00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:40.340
 be done?

00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:43.100
 When will all

00:23:43.100 --> 00:23:43.920
 those intent

00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:45.259
 on doing evil

00:23:45.259 --> 00:23:46.680
 be held accountable?

00:23:47.740 --> 00:23:48.700
 When will

00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:50.160
 the wealthy corrupt

00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:51.820
 be treated

00:23:51.820 --> 00:23:52.720
 as they deserve?

00:23:54.520 --> 00:23:55.320
 When are the

00:23:55.320 --> 00:23:55.800
 Christians

00:23:55.800 --> 00:23:56.940
 in North Korea

00:23:56.940 --> 00:23:58.040
 going to be

00:23:58.040 --> 00:23:58.840
 released from

00:23:58.840 --> 00:23:59.660
 their suffering

00:23:59.660 --> 00:24:00.279
 in prison?

00:24:02.180 --> 00:24:03.140
 When will the

00:24:03.140 --> 00:24:04.000
 pastors and

00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:04.480
 churches

00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:05.620
 in Mali

00:24:05.620 --> 00:24:06.320
 and Egypt

00:24:06.320 --> 00:24:07.420
 stop being

00:24:07.420 --> 00:24:07.940
 attacked?

00:24:10.140 --> 00:24:11.120
 When will

00:24:11.120 --> 00:24:11.560
 the young

00:24:11.560 --> 00:24:12.000
 women,

00:24:12.140 --> 00:24:13.060
 disciples in

00:24:13.060 --> 00:24:13.720
 Afghanistan

00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:15.060
 stop being

00:24:15.060 --> 00:24:15.500
 raped?

00:24:17.560 --> 00:24:18.519
 When will

00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:21.120
 the 5,898

00:24:21.120 --> 00:24:21.720
 Christians

00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:22.660
 who died

00:24:22.660 --> 00:24:23.540
 for their faith

00:24:23.540 --> 00:24:24.580
 last year,

00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:25.440
 when are they

00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:25.960
 going to get

00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:26.400
 justice?

00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:26.540
 justice?

00:24:28.740 --> 00:24:29.640
 And when will

00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:31.880
 the 3,829

00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:32.940
 followers of

00:24:32.940 --> 00:24:33.860
 Jesus who

00:24:33.860 --> 00:24:34.820
 were abducted

00:24:34.820 --> 00:24:35.900
 and trafficked

00:24:35.900 --> 00:24:36.440
 to other

00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:37.519
 countries,

00:24:37.980 --> 00:24:38.519
 when will

00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:40.160
 they get

00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:40.600
 justice?

00:24:42.360 --> 00:24:43.220
 When is

00:24:43.220 --> 00:24:44.340
 God going to

00:24:44.340 --> 00:24:45.240
 haul Satan

00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:46.800
 in and end

00:24:46.800 --> 00:24:47.560
 all this

00:24:47.560 --> 00:24:47.960
 evil?

00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:51.640
 how long

00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:53.079
 will this

00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:53.759
 suffering go

00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:54.319
 on for?

00:24:55.860 --> 00:24:56.779
 How long

00:24:56.779 --> 00:24:57.700
 sovereign

00:24:57.700 --> 00:24:58.140
 Lord?

00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:00.519
 How long?

00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:00.539
 How long?

00:25:05.779 --> 00:25:06.680
 Well, God

00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:07.380
 does answer

00:25:07.380 --> 00:25:08.000
 our cry

00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:09.920
 and it's

00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:10.360
 both a

00:25:10.360 --> 00:25:10.940
 comfort

00:25:10.940 --> 00:25:12.539
 and a

00:25:12.539 --> 00:25:13.140
 challenge.

00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:19.160
 Look where

00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:19.900
 these faithful

00:25:19.900 --> 00:25:20.799
 saints are

00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:21.180
 as they

00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:21.840
 cry out.

00:25:21.980 --> 00:25:22.259
 Did you

00:25:22.259 --> 00:25:22.680
 see where

00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:23.100
 they were?

00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:23.820
 Verse 9.

00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:25.779
 When he

00:25:25.779 --> 00:25:26.259
 opened the

00:25:26.259 --> 00:25:26.820
 fifth seal,

00:25:26.900 --> 00:25:27.400
 I saw

00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:28.660
 under the

00:25:28.660 --> 00:25:29.580
 altar the

00:25:29.580 --> 00:25:30.259
 souls of

00:25:30.259 --> 00:25:30.700
 those who

00:25:30.700 --> 00:25:30.980
 had been

00:25:30.980 --> 00:25:31.440
 slain.

00:25:32.420 --> 00:25:33.019
 It's

00:25:33.019 --> 00:25:33.480
 temple

00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:33.980
 language.

00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:34.279
 It's

00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:34.980
 talking about

00:25:34.980 --> 00:25:36.080
 the new

00:25:36.080 --> 00:25:36.940
 temple and

00:25:36.940 --> 00:25:37.380
 the new

00:25:37.380 --> 00:25:37.820
 heavens.

00:25:38.140 --> 00:25:38.620
 They're

00:25:38.620 --> 00:25:39.779
 present in

00:25:39.779 --> 00:25:40.140
 heaven.

00:25:40.940 --> 00:25:42.080
 And look

00:25:42.080 --> 00:25:42.559
 what God

00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:42.960
 does.

00:25:43.059 --> 00:25:43.640
 Verse 11.

00:25:44.180 --> 00:25:44.720
 Each of

00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:45.120
 them was

00:25:45.120 --> 00:25:45.700
 given a

00:25:45.700 --> 00:25:46.980
 white robe.

00:25:49.740 --> 00:25:50.539
 John has

00:25:50.539 --> 00:25:51.400
 already spoken

00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:52.140
 about these

00:25:52.140 --> 00:25:53.180
 white robes.

00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:54.200
 Just go

00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:54.640
 back to

00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:55.400
 chapter 3

00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:56.160
 verse 4.

00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:00.900
 As he

00:26:00.900 --> 00:26:01.460
 writes to

00:26:01.460 --> 00:26:02.120
 the church,

00:26:05.360 --> 00:26:07.580
 as he

00:26:07.580 --> 00:26:08.279
 talks about

00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:09.019
 these people,

00:26:09.140 --> 00:26:09.519
 he says,

00:26:09.600 --> 00:26:10.100
 you have a

00:26:10.100 --> 00:26:10.840
 few people

00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:12.480
 in Sardis

00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:13.819
 who have

00:26:13.819 --> 00:26:14.819
 not spoiled

00:26:14.819 --> 00:26:15.959
 their clothes.

00:26:16.679 --> 00:26:17.119
 That is,

00:26:17.179 --> 00:26:17.480
 they have

00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:18.339
 not turned

00:26:18.339 --> 00:26:19.839
 from God,

00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:21.019
 but they

00:26:21.019 --> 00:26:21.579
 have remained

00:26:21.579 --> 00:26:22.119
 faithful.

00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:23.740
 They will

00:26:23.740 --> 00:26:24.399
 walk with

00:26:24.399 --> 00:26:24.740
 me,

00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:26.659
 dressed in

00:26:26.659 --> 00:26:27.279
 white,

00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:28.740
 for they

00:26:28.740 --> 00:26:29.319
 are worthy.

00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:31.039
 The one

00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:31.419
 who is

00:26:31.419 --> 00:26:32.059
 victorious

00:26:32.059 --> 00:26:32.759
 will,

00:26:33.220 --> 00:26:33.799
 like them,

00:26:33.899 --> 00:26:35.059
 be dressed

00:26:35.059 --> 00:26:35.939
 in white.

00:26:36.779 --> 00:26:37.339
 And I

00:26:37.339 --> 00:26:37.879
 will never

00:26:37.879 --> 00:26:38.720
 blot out the

00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:39.299
 name of that

00:26:39.299 --> 00:26:39.959
 person from

00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:40.279
 the book

00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:40.860
 of life,

00:26:41.600 --> 00:26:42.160
 but will

00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:42.740
 acknowledge

00:26:42.740 --> 00:26:43.460
 that name

00:26:43.460 --> 00:26:44.160
 before my

00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:45.640
 father and

00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:46.380
 his angels.

00:26:47.579 --> 00:26:48.420
 We can

00:26:48.420 --> 00:26:49.000
 picture it

00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:49.279
 there.

00:26:50.019 --> 00:26:50.920
 These saints

00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:51.680
 who have

00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:52.519
 been put to

00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:53.240
 death because

00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:53.700
 of their

00:26:53.700 --> 00:26:54.620
 testimony of

00:26:54.620 --> 00:26:55.680
 Christ are

00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:56.400
 given a

00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:57.279
 white robe

00:26:57.279 --> 00:26:57.799
 to wear,

00:26:58.180 --> 00:26:59.000
 a sign of

00:26:59.000 --> 00:26:59.880
 their victory

00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:01.819
 presented by

00:27:01.819 --> 00:27:02.360
 Jesus.

00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:04.059
 Their names

00:27:04.059 --> 00:27:04.960
 forever in

00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:05.539
 the book of

00:27:05.539 --> 00:27:05.860
 life,

00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:06.940
 never to be

00:27:06.940 --> 00:27:07.680
 erased or

00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:08.539
 taken away.

00:27:10.740 --> 00:27:12.019
 How long

00:27:12.019 --> 00:27:13.000
 they cry

00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:13.500
 to God,

00:27:13.600 --> 00:27:14.320
 how long

00:27:14.320 --> 00:27:14.860
 will this

00:27:14.860 --> 00:27:15.580
 suffering go

00:27:15.580 --> 00:27:16.180
 on for?

00:27:20.140 --> 00:27:21.080
 We don't

00:27:21.080 --> 00:27:21.400
 know,

00:27:22.320 --> 00:27:23.720
 but as we

00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:24.180
 wait,

00:27:25.080 --> 00:27:25.880
 we keep

00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:26.799
 pressing on

00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:28.759
 because our

00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:29.680
 reward awaits

00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:30.100
 us.

00:27:31.259 --> 00:27:31.860
 Our white

00:27:31.860 --> 00:27:32.799
 robe will be

00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:33.080
 given,

00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:34.799
 and our

00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:35.319
 names will

00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:35.899
 be forever

00:27:35.899 --> 00:27:36.279
 in the

00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:36.639
 book of

00:27:36.639 --> 00:27:37.039
 life.

00:27:38.939 --> 00:27:39.639
 But there's

00:27:39.639 --> 00:27:40.159
 also a

00:27:40.159 --> 00:27:40.879
 challenge as

00:27:40.879 --> 00:27:41.339
 well as a

00:27:41.339 --> 00:27:41.839
 comfort.

00:27:44.139 --> 00:27:44.839
 Not getting

00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:45.359
 on great

00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:45.859
 with our

00:27:45.859 --> 00:27:46.899
 flicker today.

00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:49.759
 The

00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:50.579
 challenge of

00:27:50.579 --> 00:27:51.099
 suffering,

00:27:51.919 --> 00:27:53.119
 because there

00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:53.819
 is a challenge,

00:27:53.939 --> 00:27:54.259
 isn't there?

00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:54.799
 Look at verse

00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:55.159
 10.

00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:56.960
 They call

00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:57.540
 out in a

00:27:57.540 --> 00:27:58.100
 loud voice,

00:27:58.220 --> 00:27:58.740
 How long,

00:27:58.940 --> 00:27:59.220
 sovereign

00:27:59.220 --> 00:27:59.680
 Lord,

00:28:00.320 --> 00:28:00.940
 holy and

00:28:00.940 --> 00:28:01.279
 true,

00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:02.519
 until you

00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:03.060
 had judged

00:28:03.060 --> 00:28:03.840
 the inhabitants

00:28:03.840 --> 00:28:04.560
 of the earth

00:28:04.560 --> 00:28:05.100
 and avenged

00:28:05.100 --> 00:28:05.860
 our blood?

00:28:06.840 --> 00:28:07.540
 Then each

00:28:07.540 --> 00:28:07.960
 of them was

00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:08.400
 given a

00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:09.200
 white robe,

00:28:10.100 --> 00:28:10.540
 and they

00:28:10.540 --> 00:28:11.160
 were told

00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:11.980
 to wait

00:28:11.980 --> 00:28:12.800
 a little

00:28:12.800 --> 00:28:13.400
 longer,

00:28:14.360 --> 00:28:15.060
 until the

00:28:15.060 --> 00:28:16.080
 full number

00:28:16.080 --> 00:28:16.600
 of their

00:28:16.600 --> 00:28:17.660
 fellow servants,

00:28:17.820 --> 00:28:18.360
 their brothers

00:28:18.360 --> 00:28:19.060
 and sisters,

00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:19.840
 were killed,

00:28:20.300 --> 00:28:21.180
 just as they

00:28:21.180 --> 00:28:21.700
 had been.

00:28:21.700 --> 00:28:24.240
 the time

00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:24.840
 for it all

00:28:24.840 --> 00:28:25.600
 to end

00:28:25.600 --> 00:28:28.259
 is not

00:28:28.259 --> 00:28:28.759
 yet.

00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:30.340
 Not

00:28:30.340 --> 00:28:31.500
 until Christ

00:28:31.500 --> 00:28:32.140
 returns.

00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:33.980
 The full

00:28:33.980 --> 00:28:34.500
 number of

00:28:34.500 --> 00:28:34.940
 those who

00:28:34.940 --> 00:28:35.480
 will die

00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:35.940
 for their

00:28:35.940 --> 00:28:36.559
 faith

00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:38.580
 is not

00:28:38.580 --> 00:28:38.940
 yet

00:28:38.940 --> 00:28:39.580
 complete.

00:28:40.940 --> 00:28:41.519
 We must

00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:42.620
 wait a

00:28:42.620 --> 00:28:43.319
 little longer.

00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:44.580
 Yes,

00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:45.360
 God has the

00:28:45.360 --> 00:28:45.860
 power and

00:28:45.860 --> 00:28:46.660
 authority to

00:28:46.660 --> 00:28:47.140
 intervene,

00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:47.680
 as we will

00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:48.180
 see in a

00:28:48.180 --> 00:28:48.400
 minute,

00:28:48.779 --> 00:28:49.720
 but God's

00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:50.240
 plan and

00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:50.819
 his purpose

00:28:50.819 --> 00:28:51.240
 is,

00:28:51.700 --> 00:28:53.480
 not yet.

00:28:54.900 --> 00:28:55.779
 Not yet,

00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:57.019
 not until

00:28:57.019 --> 00:28:58.160
 Christ returns.

00:28:59.340 --> 00:28:59.660
 Yes,

00:28:59.779 --> 00:29:00.220
 there will

00:29:00.220 --> 00:29:00.940
 be a day

00:29:00.940 --> 00:29:01.940
 when the

00:29:01.940 --> 00:29:02.940
 last Christian

00:29:02.940 --> 00:29:04.180
 will be

00:29:04.180 --> 00:29:04.539
 killed.

00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:06.140
 There is

00:29:06.140 --> 00:29:06.620
 going to

00:29:06.620 --> 00:29:07.259
 be a day

00:29:07.259 --> 00:29:07.840
 when the

00:29:07.840 --> 00:29:09.000
 last Christian

00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:10.360
 will suffer,

00:29:11.220 --> 00:29:11.860
 and then

00:29:11.860 --> 00:29:12.380
 it will be

00:29:12.380 --> 00:29:13.259
 all over.

00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:15.700
 But that

00:29:15.700 --> 00:29:16.080
 day

00:29:16.080 --> 00:29:19.120
 is not

00:29:19.120 --> 00:29:19.580
 yet.

00:29:19.579 --> 00:29:21.619
 we must

00:29:21.619 --> 00:29:22.939
 wait a

00:29:22.939 --> 00:29:23.159
 little

00:29:23.159 --> 00:29:23.639
 longer.

00:29:25.639 --> 00:29:26.220
 Now,

00:29:26.299 --> 00:29:26.679
 for those

00:29:26.679 --> 00:29:27.019
 who are

00:29:27.019 --> 00:29:27.559
 suffering,

00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:29.240
 to say

00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:29.799
 this is a

00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:30.500
 challenge is

00:29:30.500 --> 00:29:30.659
 an

00:29:30.659 --> 00:29:31.419
 understatement.

00:29:32.500 --> 00:29:33.059
 It's

00:29:33.059 --> 00:29:33.519
 difficult,

00:29:33.740 --> 00:29:34.220
 it's hard

00:29:34.220 --> 00:29:35.139
 to understand

00:29:35.139 --> 00:29:35.579
 and to

00:29:35.579 --> 00:29:36.000
 accept.

00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:37.000
 Why does

00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:37.740
 God not

00:29:37.740 --> 00:29:38.639
 intervene and

00:29:38.639 --> 00:29:39.659
 act now?

00:29:39.660 --> 00:29:41.860
 God is

00:29:41.860 --> 00:29:42.440
 sadistic,

00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:42.800
 well,

00:29:42.800 --> 00:29:43.180
 if God

00:29:43.180 --> 00:29:43.740
 tells us

00:29:43.740 --> 00:29:44.360
 to wait a

00:29:44.360 --> 00:29:44.540
 little

00:29:44.540 --> 00:29:45.000
 longer,

00:29:46.080 --> 00:29:46.540
 then it

00:29:46.540 --> 00:29:47.019
 must mean

00:29:47.019 --> 00:29:47.519
 that God

00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:47.960
 has some

00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:48.660
 very good

00:29:48.660 --> 00:29:49.220
 reasons.

00:29:50.500 --> 00:29:51.100
 It's not

00:29:51.100 --> 00:29:51.640
 like God

00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:52.480
 is sadistic,

00:29:53.180 --> 00:29:53.860
 that he's

00:29:53.860 --> 00:29:55.000
 somehow enjoying

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:55.660
 the suffering

00:29:55.660 --> 00:29:56.259
 that takes

00:29:56.259 --> 00:29:56.759
 place.

00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:58.240
 No,

00:29:58.300 --> 00:29:58.720
 God is

00:29:58.720 --> 00:29:59.060
 both

00:29:59.060 --> 00:29:59.920
 grieved,

00:30:00.860 --> 00:30:01.320
 and yet

00:30:01.320 --> 00:30:01.860
 God is

00:30:01.860 --> 00:30:02.820
 in control

00:30:02.819 --> 00:30:03.980
 of our

00:30:03.980 --> 00:30:04.399
 future

00:30:04.399 --> 00:30:05.019
 destiny.

00:30:05.919 --> 00:30:06.720
 His plans

00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:07.139
 and his

00:30:07.139 --> 00:30:07.899
 purposes are

00:30:07.899 --> 00:30:08.759
 always right,

00:30:09.099 --> 00:30:09.539
 and they

00:30:09.539 --> 00:30:10.220
 are best,

00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:11.720
 even if we

00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:12.240
 do not

00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:12.700
 always

00:30:12.700 --> 00:30:13.240
 understand

00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:13.679
 them.

00:30:16.859 --> 00:30:17.579
 So,

00:30:17.679 --> 00:30:17.899
 there will

00:30:17.899 --> 00:30:18.559
 be times

00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:19.299
 of suffering,

00:30:20.439 --> 00:30:21.480
 there will

00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:22.099
 be cries

00:30:22.099 --> 00:30:22.679
 of longing,

00:30:23.679 --> 00:30:25.259
 and there

00:30:25.259 --> 00:30:26.500
 will be a

00:30:26.500 --> 00:30:28.019
 day of

00:30:28.019 --> 00:30:28.460
 wrath.

00:30:28.460 --> 00:30:30.720
 look at

00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:31.460
 verse 12.

00:30:34.779 --> 00:30:35.319
 I

00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:35.980
 watched as

00:30:35.980 --> 00:30:36.539
 he opened

00:30:36.539 --> 00:30:37.180
 the sixth

00:30:37.180 --> 00:30:37.579
 seal,

00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:39.840
 and there

00:30:39.840 --> 00:30:40.100
 was a

00:30:40.100 --> 00:30:40.400
 great

00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:41.059
 earthquake.

00:30:42.059 --> 00:30:42.700
 The sun

00:30:42.700 --> 00:30:43.720
 turned black

00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:44.840
 like sackcloth

00:30:44.840 --> 00:30:45.759
 made of goat

00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:46.079
 hair.

00:30:46.900 --> 00:30:47.279
 I don't

00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:47.700
 think any

00:30:47.700 --> 00:30:48.019
 of us

00:30:48.019 --> 00:30:48.380
 have any

00:30:48.380 --> 00:30:48.680
 of that

00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:49.319
 lying around

00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:49.799
 the place,

00:30:49.940 --> 00:30:51.340
 but so

00:30:51.340 --> 00:30:51.759
 knitted

00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:52.600
 together so

00:30:52.600 --> 00:30:53.539
 tight that

00:30:53.539 --> 00:30:54.600
 the light

00:30:54.600 --> 00:30:55.100
 can't

00:30:55.100 --> 00:30:55.579
 penetrate

00:30:55.579 --> 00:30:56.400
 through it.

00:30:58.460 --> 00:30:58.980
 The whole

00:30:58.980 --> 00:30:59.460
 moon

00:30:59.460 --> 00:30:59.960
 turned

00:30:59.960 --> 00:31:00.340
 blood

00:31:00.340 --> 00:31:00.779
 red.

00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:02.380
 The stars

00:31:02.380 --> 00:31:02.740
 in the

00:31:02.740 --> 00:31:03.059
 sky

00:31:03.059 --> 00:31:03.660
 fell to

00:31:03.660 --> 00:31:04.220
 earth as

00:31:04.220 --> 00:31:05.140
 figs

00:31:05.140 --> 00:31:05.660
 drop from

00:31:05.660 --> 00:31:06.019
 a fig

00:31:06.019 --> 00:31:06.220
 tree,

00:31:06.360 --> 00:31:06.680
 or as we

00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:07.220
 might say

00:31:07.220 --> 00:31:08.740
 leaves fall

00:31:08.740 --> 00:31:09.160
 from the

00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:09.700
 tree as

00:31:09.700 --> 00:31:10.400
 shaken by

00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:10.980
 a strong

00:31:10.980 --> 00:31:11.360
 wind.

00:31:13.120 --> 00:31:14.019
 This is

00:31:14.019 --> 00:31:14.660
 cosmic

00:31:14.660 --> 00:31:16.039
 and

00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:17.220
 cataclysmic.

00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:19.039
 The sun,

00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:19.539
 moon,

00:31:19.660 --> 00:31:20.259
 and stars

00:31:20.259 --> 00:31:21.660
 once spoken

00:31:21.660 --> 00:31:22.340
 into being

00:31:22.340 --> 00:31:22.960
 by God

00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:24.039
 and held

00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:24.700
 in place

00:31:24.700 --> 00:31:25.319
 by God

00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:26.500
 are thrown

00:31:26.500 --> 00:31:27.340
 into chaos.

00:31:28.460 --> 00:31:29.039
 This is

00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:29.840
 a universal

00:31:29.840 --> 00:31:30.620
 upheaval,

00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:31.579
 a sign

00:31:31.579 --> 00:31:32.340
 that judgment

00:31:32.340 --> 00:31:33.120
 has come.

00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:35.340
 Of course,

00:31:35.420 --> 00:31:35.920
 it's not the

00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:36.500
 first time

00:31:36.500 --> 00:31:36.960
 the sun

00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:37.819
 turned black.

00:31:39.460 --> 00:31:40.019
 Remember

00:31:40.019 --> 00:31:40.600
 when God

00:31:40.600 --> 00:31:41.140
 brought his

00:31:41.140 --> 00:31:41.539
 judgment

00:31:41.539 --> 00:31:42.500
 against Pharaoh

00:31:42.500 --> 00:31:42.860
 and the

00:31:42.860 --> 00:31:43.340
 Egyptians?

00:31:43.840 --> 00:31:44.720
 He did it

00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:45.200
 through a

00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:45.920
 plague of

00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:46.660
 darkness.

00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:48.340
 For three

00:31:48.340 --> 00:31:49.240
 whole days

00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:49.640
 there was

00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:50.559
 total darkness.

00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:51.400
 You couldn't

00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:52.079
 see a thing.

00:31:53.100 --> 00:31:53.940
 So when God

00:31:53.940 --> 00:31:54.840
 tells us that

00:31:54.840 --> 00:31:55.420
 the sun

00:31:55.420 --> 00:31:55.940
 will turn

00:31:55.940 --> 00:31:56.700
 to darkness,

00:31:56.700 --> 00:31:56.900
 us,

00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:57.980
 we know

00:31:57.980 --> 00:31:58.880
 that judgment

00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:00.620
 has come.

00:32:01.580 --> 00:32:02.039
 The day

00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:02.600
 of waiting

00:32:02.600 --> 00:32:03.140
 will be

00:32:03.140 --> 00:32:03.480
 over.

00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:04.240
 The day

00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:04.860
 of justice

00:32:04.860 --> 00:32:05.779
 has arrived

00:32:05.779 --> 00:32:06.480
 and it

00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:06.900
 will be

00:32:06.900 --> 00:32:07.680
 terrifying.

00:32:08.620 --> 00:32:09.400
 Verse 15.

00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:10.900
 The kings

00:32:10.900 --> 00:32:11.640
 of the earth,

00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:13.660
 the princes,

00:32:13.940 --> 00:32:14.559
 the generals,

00:32:14.740 --> 00:32:15.240
 the rich,

00:32:15.360 --> 00:32:15.900
 the mighty,

00:32:15.900 --> 00:32:17.039
 the leaders

00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:17.600
 of our

00:32:17.600 --> 00:32:18.120
 nations

00:32:18.120 --> 00:32:20.759
 and everyone

00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:21.259
 else,

00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:22.160
 both slave

00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:22.759
 and free,

00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:24.460
 hid in caves

00:32:24.460 --> 00:32:24.940
 and among

00:32:24.940 --> 00:32:25.480
 the rocks

00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:25.799
 and the

00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:26.240
 mountains.

00:32:26.599 --> 00:32:27.360
 They call

00:32:27.360 --> 00:32:27.759
 to the

00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:28.160
 mountains

00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:28.500
 and the

00:32:28.500 --> 00:32:28.880
 rocks,

00:32:29.339 --> 00:32:30.000
 fall on

00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:30.559
 us and

00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:31.140
 hide us

00:32:31.140 --> 00:32:31.519
 from the

00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:32.019
 face of

00:32:32.019 --> 00:32:32.400
 him who

00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:32.920
 sits on

00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:33.420
 the throne

00:32:33.420 --> 00:32:34.200
 and from

00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:34.640
 the wrath

00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:34.980
 of the

00:32:34.980 --> 00:32:35.279
 lamb.

00:32:38.860 --> 00:32:39.960
 The slain

00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:40.440
 lamb

00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:42.220
 is also

00:32:42.220 --> 00:32:42.860
 God's

00:32:42.860 --> 00:32:43.319
 ruling

00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:43.980
 judge.

00:32:45.980 --> 00:32:46.559
 Remember

00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:46.960
 what he

00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:47.620
 was like?

00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:49.460
 The description

00:32:49.460 --> 00:32:50.220
 we were given

00:32:50.220 --> 00:32:50.819
 of the lamb

00:32:50.819 --> 00:32:51.860
 in chapter 5

00:32:51.860 --> 00:32:52.559
 verse 6.

00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:53.620
 The lamb

00:32:53.620 --> 00:32:54.259
 had what?

00:32:54.259 --> 00:32:55.660
 seven horns,

00:32:56.779 --> 00:32:57.299
 a symbol

00:32:57.299 --> 00:32:57.660
 of his

00:32:57.660 --> 00:32:58.140
 power,

00:32:58.500 --> 00:32:59.519
 seven eyes

00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:00.079
 because he

00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:00.519
 could see

00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:01.160
 all things,

00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:01.859
 which were

00:33:01.859 --> 00:33:02.519
 the seven

00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:03.240
 spirits

00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:03.960
 gone into

00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:04.539
 all the

00:33:04.539 --> 00:33:05.400
 earth because

00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:06.140
 the lamb,

00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:06.660
 the Lord

00:33:06.660 --> 00:33:07.119
 Jesus,

00:33:07.579 --> 00:33:08.420
 sees and

00:33:08.420 --> 00:33:09.119
 he knows

00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:09.700
 all the

00:33:09.700 --> 00:33:10.140
 suffering.

00:33:10.660 --> 00:33:10.940
 He has

00:33:10.940 --> 00:33:11.559
 heard the

00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:12.099
 cry of

00:33:12.099 --> 00:33:12.579
 all his

00:33:12.579 --> 00:33:13.019
 people.

00:33:14.339 --> 00:33:14.900
 He knows

00:33:14.900 --> 00:33:15.680
 the injustice

00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:16.200
 that has

00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:16.879
 been endured.

00:33:17.299 --> 00:33:17.660
 He has

00:33:17.660 --> 00:33:18.279
 seen the

00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:18.680
 military

00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:19.480
 conquests,

00:33:19.980 --> 00:33:20.579
 the violent

00:33:20.579 --> 00:33:21.299
 bloodshed,

00:33:21.619 --> 00:33:22.400
 the economic

00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:23.079
 injustice,

00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:24.299
 the relentless

00:33:24.299 --> 00:33:24.980
 death.

00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:26.699
 He has

00:33:26.699 --> 00:33:27.359
 witnessed

00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:28.899
 the suffering

00:33:28.899 --> 00:33:29.299
 of his

00:33:29.299 --> 00:33:29.740
 people,

00:33:30.259 --> 00:33:31.379
 every single

00:33:31.379 --> 00:33:31.799
 one.

00:33:33.259 --> 00:33:33.859
 And so a

00:33:33.859 --> 00:33:34.259
 day will

00:33:34.259 --> 00:33:35.939
 come when

00:33:35.939 --> 00:33:36.460
 the waiting

00:33:36.460 --> 00:33:36.899
 will be

00:33:36.899 --> 00:33:37.279
 over.

00:33:38.539 --> 00:33:39.299
 Evil and

00:33:39.299 --> 00:33:39.960
 Satan will

00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:40.599
 be reeled

00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:41.379
 in once

00:33:41.379 --> 00:33:41.839
 and for

00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:42.119
 all.

00:33:42.639 --> 00:33:43.240
 God's

00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:43.720
 judgment

00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:45.199
 will be

00:33:45.199 --> 00:33:46.039
 unleashed

00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:47.439
 and there

00:33:47.439 --> 00:33:47.799
 will be

00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:48.619
 no one

00:33:48.619 --> 00:33:49.899
 to hold

00:33:49.899 --> 00:33:50.500
 it back.

00:33:50.500 --> 00:33:52.500
 no wonder

00:33:52.500 --> 00:33:53.000
 there is

00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:54.099
 fear and

00:33:54.099 --> 00:33:54.660
 panic.

00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:55.680
 Look at

00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:56.519
 verse 17.

00:33:57.640 --> 00:33:58.079
 For the

00:33:58.079 --> 00:33:58.900
 great day

00:33:58.900 --> 00:33:59.339
 of their

00:33:59.339 --> 00:33:59.960
 wrath has

00:33:59.960 --> 00:34:01.059
 come and

00:34:01.059 --> 00:34:02.400
 who can

00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:02.819
 withstand

00:34:02.819 --> 00:34:03.440
 it?

00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:05.200
 You see

00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:05.980
 God will

00:34:05.980 --> 00:34:06.480
 have the

00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:07.299
 last word.

00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:08.699
 God's

00:34:08.699 --> 00:34:09.440
 will in

00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:10.619
 heaven will

00:34:10.619 --> 00:34:11.260
 be done

00:34:11.260 --> 00:34:11.880
 on earth.

00:34:12.219 --> 00:34:12.760
 He rules

00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:13.360
 over all

00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:13.900
 things and

00:34:13.900 --> 00:34:14.519
 all people

00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:14.980
 and he

00:34:14.980 --> 00:34:15.559
 will bring

00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:15.820
 his

00:34:15.820 --> 00:34:16.260
 justice.

00:34:16.260 --> 00:34:22.540
 But we're

00:34:22.540 --> 00:34:23.100
 still left

00:34:23.100 --> 00:34:23.440
 with the

00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:24.120
 big question

00:34:24.120 --> 00:34:24.620
 aren't we?

00:34:25.980 --> 00:34:26.320
 Why

00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:27.280
 doesn't he

00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:27.800
 come now?

00:34:29.380 --> 00:34:29.820
 Well he

00:34:29.820 --> 00:34:30.320
 could,

00:34:30.460 --> 00:34:31.060
 I get

00:34:31.060 --> 00:34:31.280
 that,

00:34:31.340 --> 00:34:31.820
 I understand

00:34:31.820 --> 00:34:32.380
 that.

00:34:33.480 --> 00:34:33.900
 But why

00:34:33.900 --> 00:34:34.340
 doesn't he

00:34:34.340 --> 00:34:34.900
 come right

00:34:34.900 --> 00:34:35.200
 now?

00:34:36.720 --> 00:34:37.300
 Why doesn't

00:34:37.300 --> 00:34:37.900
 God bring

00:34:37.900 --> 00:34:38.420
 an end to

00:34:38.420 --> 00:34:38.840
 all the

00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:39.540
 suffering and

00:34:39.540 --> 00:34:40.420
 injustice and

00:34:40.420 --> 00:34:41.240
 all the

00:34:41.240 --> 00:34:41.900
 heartache?

00:34:42.780 --> 00:34:43.440
 Why doesn't

00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:44.260
 he just end

00:34:44.260 --> 00:34:45.420
 it now?

00:34:46.260 --> 00:34:47.780
 And maybe

00:34:47.780 --> 00:34:48.320
 that's the

00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:49.040
 cry of your

00:34:49.040 --> 00:34:49.840
 heart and

00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:50.300
 you're asking

00:34:50.300 --> 00:34:50.980
 why doesn't

00:34:50.980 --> 00:34:51.520
 God end

00:34:51.520 --> 00:34:52.680
 my suffering

00:34:52.680 --> 00:34:53.680
 now,

00:34:54.260 --> 00:34:54.780
 today?

00:34:59.780 --> 00:35:00.560
 Well I'm

00:35:00.560 --> 00:35:00.980
 not going to

00:35:00.980 --> 00:35:01.580
 pretend to

00:35:01.580 --> 00:35:02.140
 have all the

00:35:02.140 --> 00:35:02.820
 answers or

00:35:02.820 --> 00:35:03.240
 reasons.

00:35:04.640 --> 00:35:05.400
 But I

00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:05.880
 think this

00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:06.800
 text points

00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:07.340
 to two

00:35:07.340 --> 00:35:09.060
 things that

00:35:09.060 --> 00:35:09.660
 might help

00:35:09.660 --> 00:35:10.080
 us.

00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:15.080
 First,

00:35:15.240 --> 00:35:15.800
 there is a

00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:16.360
 warning of

00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:16.800
 judgment.

00:35:17.980 --> 00:35:18.340
 You see,

00:35:18.420 --> 00:35:19.200
 these times

00:35:19.200 --> 00:35:19.920
 of suffering

00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:20.360
 that we're

00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:21.060
 looking at

00:35:21.060 --> 00:35:23.440
 are signs

00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:24.140
 of a greater

00:35:24.140 --> 00:35:25.060
 suffering that

00:35:25.060 --> 00:35:25.640
 is to come.

00:35:25.780 --> 00:35:26.660
 They're warnings

00:35:26.660 --> 00:35:28.200
 of the

00:35:28.200 --> 00:35:29.340
 ultimate judgment

00:35:29.340 --> 00:35:29.860
 that will

00:35:29.860 --> 00:35:30.260
 fall.

00:35:31.300 --> 00:35:31.960
 The wars,

00:35:32.140 --> 00:35:32.740
 the violence,

00:35:32.900 --> 00:35:33.539
 the injustice,

00:35:33.740 --> 00:35:34.300
 the relentless

00:35:34.300 --> 00:35:35.440
 death that

00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:36.580
 screams at us

00:35:36.580 --> 00:35:37.060
 through our

00:35:37.060 --> 00:35:37.840
 television and

00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:38.640
 social media

00:35:38.640 --> 00:35:39.420
 every single

00:35:39.420 --> 00:35:40.500
 day should

00:35:40.500 --> 00:35:41.519
 waken us up

00:35:41.519 --> 00:35:42.240
 to the reality

00:35:42.240 --> 00:35:43.039
 that one day

00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:43.720
 God is going

00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:44.239
 to come in

00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:44.659
 justice.

00:35:45.939 --> 00:35:46.719
 But not

00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:47.259
 yet.

00:35:48.779 --> 00:35:49.339
 He's

00:35:49.339 --> 00:35:49.939
 patient.

00:35:51.139 --> 00:35:51.919
 He's giving

00:35:51.919 --> 00:35:52.699
 us time.

00:35:53.939 --> 00:35:54.619
 Bible is

00:35:54.619 --> 00:35:55.459
 very clear to

00:35:55.459 --> 00:35:56.059
 tell us that

00:35:56.059 --> 00:35:57.039
 he longs that

00:35:57.039 --> 00:35:58.119
 none would

00:35:58.119 --> 00:35:58.839
 perish and

00:35:58.839 --> 00:35:59.799
 that none

00:35:59.799 --> 00:36:00.439
 would have to

00:36:00.439 --> 00:36:00.980
 face his

00:36:00.980 --> 00:36:01.339
 judgment.

00:36:01.779 --> 00:36:02.659
 He longs that

00:36:02.659 --> 00:36:03.379
 all would

00:36:03.379 --> 00:36:04.079
 turn to

00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:04.480
 him.

00:36:05.980 --> 00:36:06.419
 You see,

00:36:06.500 --> 00:36:07.239
 if God did

00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:07.759
 what we

00:36:07.759 --> 00:36:08.500
 asked right

00:36:08.500 --> 00:36:08.759
 now,

00:36:08.759 --> 00:36:09.500
 if God

00:36:09.500 --> 00:36:10.279
 answered my

00:36:10.279 --> 00:36:10.819
 prayer and

00:36:10.819 --> 00:36:11.039
 say,

00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:11.599
 Lord,

00:36:11.759 --> 00:36:12.400
 come right

00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:13.179
 now and

00:36:13.179 --> 00:36:14.079
 stop all

00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:14.800
 the suffering,

00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:17.380
 then that

00:36:17.380 --> 00:36:17.980
 would be it,

00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:18.599
 wouldn't it?

00:36:19.699 --> 00:36:20.539
 His justice

00:36:20.539 --> 00:36:21.340
 would fall

00:36:21.340 --> 00:36:22.420
 and there

00:36:22.420 --> 00:36:23.019
 would be no

00:36:23.019 --> 00:36:24.079
 opportunity to

00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:24.599
 turn and

00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:25.019
 repent.

00:36:26.539 --> 00:36:27.139
 Our

00:36:27.139 --> 00:36:27.659
 friends,

00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:28.360
 our neighbours,

00:36:29.179 --> 00:36:29.759
 our loved

00:36:29.759 --> 00:36:30.259
 ones,

00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:31.779
 time would

00:36:31.779 --> 00:36:32.360
 be up.

00:36:35.179 --> 00:36:35.900
 They would

00:36:35.900 --> 00:36:36.300
 be like

00:36:36.300 --> 00:36:37.440
 those of

00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:38.360
 verse 16.

00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:41.639
 calling to

00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:42.300
 the mountains

00:36:42.300 --> 00:36:42.659
 and the

00:36:42.659 --> 00:36:43.320
 rocks to

00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:43.900
 fall on

00:36:43.900 --> 00:36:44.320
 us.

00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:45.779
 They'd

00:36:45.779 --> 00:36:46.480
 rather suffer

00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:47.139
 death like

00:36:47.139 --> 00:36:47.619
 that than

00:36:47.619 --> 00:36:49.139
 face God's

00:36:49.139 --> 00:36:49.579
 judgment.

00:36:51.579 --> 00:36:52.340
 So in

00:36:52.340 --> 00:36:53.139
 God's mercy

00:36:53.139 --> 00:36:53.880
 he says,

00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:54.900
 no,

00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:57.259
 wait a

00:36:57.259 --> 00:36:57.940
 little longer.

00:36:59.079 --> 00:36:59.360
 Be

00:36:59.360 --> 00:36:59.900
 patient.

00:37:00.779 --> 00:37:01.279
 The day

00:37:01.279 --> 00:37:01.900
 will come,

00:37:02.759 --> 00:37:03.559
 but not

00:37:03.559 --> 00:37:03.900
 yet.

00:37:03.980 --> 00:37:04.320
 I have

00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:04.779
 many,

00:37:04.940 --> 00:37:05.659
 many more

00:37:05.659 --> 00:37:07.000
 to bring

00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:07.619
 into my

00:37:07.619 --> 00:37:07.980
 kingdom.

00:37:07.980 --> 00:37:12.159
 so there

00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:12.460
 is a

00:37:12.460 --> 00:37:12.820
 warning,

00:37:14.420 --> 00:37:15.420
 but there's

00:37:15.420 --> 00:37:15.960
 also a

00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:16.420
 promise.

00:37:18.719 --> 00:37:19.099
 You see,

00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:19.760
 these times

00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:20.380
 of suffering

00:37:20.380 --> 00:37:21.179
 also point

00:37:21.179 --> 00:37:21.740
 to times

00:37:21.740 --> 00:37:22.519
 of salvation

00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:24.440
 because it

00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:24.960
 is through

00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:26.599
 suffering

00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:28.420
 that salvation

00:37:28.420 --> 00:37:29.099
 ultimately

00:37:29.099 --> 00:37:29.719
 comes.

00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:31.119
 I mean,

00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:31.659
 let's think

00:37:31.659 --> 00:37:32.159
 about this

00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:32.559
 together.

00:37:32.820 --> 00:37:33.659
 As Jesus

00:37:33.659 --> 00:37:34.340
 died on

00:37:34.340 --> 00:37:34.740
 the cross,

00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:35.659
 what do

00:37:35.659 --> 00:37:36.099
 we see

00:37:36.099 --> 00:37:36.599
 happening?

00:37:37.980 --> 00:37:39.099
 The forces

00:37:39.099 --> 00:37:40.119
 of evil

00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:41.019
 and Satan

00:37:41.019 --> 00:37:42.659
 are unleashed.

00:37:43.940 --> 00:37:44.300
 Together

00:37:44.300 --> 00:37:45.079
 they march

00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:46.159
 in military

00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:46.760
 conquest

00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:47.539
 seeking to

00:37:47.539 --> 00:37:48.460
 destroy the

00:37:48.460 --> 00:37:48.840
 Son of

00:37:48.840 --> 00:37:49.139
 God.

00:37:49.460 --> 00:37:50.019
 They act

00:37:50.019 --> 00:37:50.740
 with violent

00:37:50.740 --> 00:37:51.380
 bloodshed

00:37:51.380 --> 00:37:52.000
 as Christ

00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:52.840
 is crucified

00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:53.679
 and crushed

00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:54.079
 with a

00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:54.559
 crown of

00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:54.920
 thorns.

00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:56.860
 Weak and

00:37:56.860 --> 00:37:57.179
 poor,

00:37:57.360 --> 00:37:58.099
 Jesus goes

00:37:58.099 --> 00:37:58.460
 to the

00:37:58.460 --> 00:37:58.840
 cross

00:37:58.840 --> 00:37:59.699
 suffering

00:37:59.699 --> 00:38:00.320
 abuse

00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:00.559
 and

00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:01.300
 injustice.

00:38:01.539 --> 00:38:01.760
 He's

00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:02.179
 innocent.

00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:03.960
 And from

00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:04.539
 the cross

00:38:04.539 --> 00:38:05.559
 he cries

00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:05.880
 out,

00:38:06.240 --> 00:38:07.079
 how long

00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:07.639
 sovereign

00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:08.119
 Lord,

00:38:08.539 --> 00:38:09.299
 why have

00:38:09.299 --> 00:38:10.239
 you forsaken

00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:10.599
 me?

00:38:12.319 --> 00:38:12.920
 And from

00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:13.480
 the cross

00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:13.960
 there is

00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:14.659
 silence.

00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:16.039
 There is

00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:16.799
 no answer.

00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:18.519
 Death's

00:38:18.519 --> 00:38:19.039
 relentless

00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:20.159
 call takes

00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:21.279
 over and

00:38:21.279 --> 00:38:22.860
 Jesus dies.

00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:26.219
 But this

00:38:26.219 --> 00:38:26.659
 is not

00:38:26.659 --> 00:38:27.559
 uncontrolled.

00:38:27.980 --> 00:38:28.719
 This is not

00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:29.619
 unrestrained.

00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:30.579
 This was

00:38:30.579 --> 00:38:31.219
 meant to

00:38:31.219 --> 00:38:31.539
 be.

00:38:31.980 --> 00:38:32.480
 This was

00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:33.340
 God's will.

00:38:33.699 --> 00:38:34.059
 This was

00:38:34.059 --> 00:38:34.880
 God's plan

00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:35.500
 and purpose.

00:38:35.500 --> 00:38:36.380
 it's all

00:38:36.380 --> 00:38:37.440
 being unfolded

00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:37.880
 for our

00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:38.239
 good.

00:38:39.699 --> 00:38:40.500
 Because what

00:38:40.500 --> 00:38:41.099
 do we see

00:38:41.099 --> 00:38:41.699
 as Jesus

00:38:41.699 --> 00:38:42.139
 is on

00:38:42.139 --> 00:38:42.639
 the cross?

00:38:42.980 --> 00:38:43.260
 What

00:38:43.260 --> 00:38:43.900
 happened to

00:38:43.900 --> 00:38:44.480
 the sun?

00:38:45.780 --> 00:38:46.599
 It turned

00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:47.280
 dark.

00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:48.260
 From

00:38:48.260 --> 00:38:49.179
 twelve noon

00:38:49.179 --> 00:38:49.980
 until three

00:38:49.980 --> 00:38:50.460
 p.m.

00:38:50.539 --> 00:38:51.139
 when the

00:38:51.139 --> 00:38:51.659
 sun is at

00:38:51.659 --> 00:38:52.280
 its highest

00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:52.940
 and brightest,

00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:54.039
 the world

00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:54.980
 was plunged

00:38:54.980 --> 00:38:55.840
 into darkness

00:38:55.840 --> 00:38:56.699
 as the

00:38:56.699 --> 00:38:57.460
 judgment of

00:38:57.460 --> 00:38:58.039
 God was

00:38:58.039 --> 00:38:58.780
 poured out

00:38:58.780 --> 00:38:59.679
 on Jesus

00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:00.420
 Christ for

00:39:00.420 --> 00:39:00.820
 you and

00:39:00.820 --> 00:39:01.239
 for me.

00:39:01.559 --> 00:39:02.260
 The judgment

00:39:02.260 --> 00:39:02.900
 that we

00:39:02.900 --> 00:39:03.560
 deserve

00:39:03.560 --> 00:39:05.180
 fell on

00:39:05.180 --> 00:39:05.580
 him.

00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:07.620
 And so

00:39:07.620 --> 00:39:08.020
 as we

00:39:08.020 --> 00:39:08.640
 turn in

00:39:08.640 --> 00:39:09.160
 repentance

00:39:09.160 --> 00:39:10.140
 we are

00:39:10.140 --> 00:39:10.820
 saved,

00:39:11.680 --> 00:39:12.040
 we are

00:39:12.040 --> 00:39:12.580
 rescued.

00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:15.520
 Through

00:39:15.520 --> 00:39:16.740
 his

00:39:16.740 --> 00:39:17.780
 suffering

00:39:17.780 --> 00:39:19.700
 comes our

00:39:19.700 --> 00:39:20.800
 salvation.

00:39:22.560 --> 00:39:23.220
 Maybe if

00:39:23.220 --> 00:39:23.980
 it was us

00:39:23.980 --> 00:39:25.140
 we'd say

00:39:25.140 --> 00:39:25.500
 no,

00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:26.400
 intervene,

00:39:27.300 --> 00:39:27.940
 take Christ

00:39:27.940 --> 00:39:28.480
 down from

00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:29.100
 the cross.

00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:30.680
 But there

00:39:30.680 --> 00:39:31.280
 would be no

00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:31.900
 salvation.

00:39:33.160 --> 00:39:33.560
 You see

00:39:33.560 --> 00:39:34.000
 there is

00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:34.560
 purpose

00:39:34.560 --> 00:39:35.900
 in the

00:39:35.900 --> 00:39:36.380
 suffering.

00:39:37.420 --> 00:39:37.980
 And that

00:39:37.980 --> 00:39:39.300
 means there

00:39:39.300 --> 00:39:39.920
 is purpose

00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:40.900
 in your

00:39:40.900 --> 00:39:42.420
 suffering too.

00:39:43.220 --> 00:39:43.900
 There is

00:39:43.900 --> 00:39:44.640
 purpose in

00:39:44.640 --> 00:39:45.400
 your suffering

00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:45.780
 too.

00:39:46.620 --> 00:39:47.200
 As we

00:39:47.200 --> 00:39:47.720
 look to

00:39:47.720 --> 00:39:48.320
 Christ who

00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:49.000
 suffered for

00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:49.880
 us, as

00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:50.720
 we cry

00:39:50.720 --> 00:39:51.280
 out from

00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:52.019
 our hearts

00:39:52.019 --> 00:39:53.140
 how long

00:39:53.140 --> 00:39:53.720
 oh Lord,

00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:55.340
 as we

00:39:55.340 --> 00:39:56.060
 turn in

00:39:56.060 --> 00:39:56.680
 trust to

00:39:56.680 --> 00:39:57.540
 him, as

00:39:57.540 --> 00:39:58.400
 we long

00:39:58.400 --> 00:39:59.060
 and wait

00:39:59.060 --> 00:39:59.880
 for glory

00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:00.500
 to come,

00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:01.200
 as we

00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:01.779
 wait for

00:40:01.779 --> 00:40:02.339
 the white

00:40:02.339 --> 00:40:02.980
 robe and

00:40:02.980 --> 00:40:03.719
 for victory,

00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:04.659
 as we

00:40:04.659 --> 00:40:05.460
 wait for

00:40:05.460 --> 00:40:06.439
 heaven itself,

00:40:08.099 --> 00:40:08.939
 so we

00:40:08.939 --> 00:40:09.480
 on our

00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:10.139
 journey are

00:40:10.139 --> 00:40:10.579
 causing

00:40:10.579 --> 00:40:11.279
 others to

00:40:11.279 --> 00:40:11.939
 stop and

00:40:11.939 --> 00:40:12.659
 to turn and

00:40:12.659 --> 00:40:13.859
 to look to

00:40:13.859 --> 00:40:14.859
 Jesus Christ.

00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:17.079
 They will

00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:18.199
 see in us,

00:40:18.279 --> 00:40:18.579
 in our

00:40:18.579 --> 00:40:19.239
 longing and

00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:19.579
 in our

00:40:19.579 --> 00:40:20.159
 cries,

00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:21.359
 where our

00:40:21.359 --> 00:40:22.439
 hope lies,

00:40:23.339 --> 00:40:23.799
 that our

00:40:23.799 --> 00:40:24.659
 hope lies

00:40:24.659 --> 00:40:25.699
 in Jesus

00:40:25.699 --> 00:40:26.319
 Christ,

00:40:26.980 --> 00:40:28.000
 who died

00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:28.639
 for you and

00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:29.079
 for me,

00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:30.339
 who was

00:40:30.339 --> 00:40:31.139
 raised from

00:40:31.139 --> 00:40:31.719
 the grave,

00:40:32.219 --> 00:40:32.759
 defeating

00:40:32.759 --> 00:40:33.259
 death,

00:40:34.099 --> 00:40:34.500
 to give

00:40:34.500 --> 00:40:36.099
 life to

00:40:36.099 --> 00:40:36.539
 all.

00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:41.420
 Why doesn't

00:40:41.420 --> 00:40:42.259
 God intervene

00:40:42.259 --> 00:40:42.940
 right now?

00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:45.679
 I don't know

00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:46.019
 all the

00:40:46.019 --> 00:40:46.420
 answers.

00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:48.019
 There's a

00:40:48.019 --> 00:40:48.579
 mystery and

00:40:48.579 --> 00:40:49.059
 we shouldn't

00:40:49.059 --> 00:40:49.920
 try to answer

00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:50.539
 everything.

00:40:50.539 --> 00:40:50.599
 nothing.

00:40:51.980 --> 00:40:52.860
 But it is

00:40:52.860 --> 00:40:54.500
 clear that

00:40:54.500 --> 00:40:55.079
 he is giving

00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:55.860
 the nations

00:40:55.860 --> 00:40:57.239
 and us time

00:40:57.239 --> 00:40:58.000
 to turn to

00:40:58.000 --> 00:40:58.279
 him.

00:40:59.279 --> 00:40:59.739
 There is

00:40:59.739 --> 00:41:00.380
 more to

00:41:00.380 --> 00:41:00.900
 come into

00:41:00.900 --> 00:41:01.539
 his kingdom.

00:41:02.539 --> 00:41:03.099
 And the

00:41:03.099 --> 00:41:03.679
 way in which

00:41:03.679 --> 00:41:04.219
 he will do

00:41:04.219 --> 00:41:04.920
 that is he

00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:05.579
 will use

00:41:05.579 --> 00:41:06.400
 your suffering.

00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:08.059
 As you

00:41:08.059 --> 00:41:08.559
 look to

00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:09.039
 Christ,

00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:10.579
 so others

00:41:10.579 --> 00:41:10.960
 will be

00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:11.599
 drawn to

00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:11.900
 him.

00:41:13.179 --> 00:41:14.039
 It's God's

00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:14.239
 way.

00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:16.319
 we need

00:41:16.319 --> 00:41:16.799
 to trust

00:41:16.799 --> 00:41:17.059
 him.

00:41:18.699 --> 00:41:19.319
 Let's

00:41:19.319 --> 00:41:19.959
 take time

00:41:19.959 --> 00:41:21.259
 to pray.

00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:22.559
 Let's

00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:23.000
 just take

00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:23.579
 time to

00:41:23.579 --> 00:41:24.000
 reflect.

00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:41.820
 Father, we

00:41:41.820 --> 00:41:43.059
 identify with

00:41:43.059 --> 00:41:44.639
 the cry of

00:41:44.639 --> 00:41:45.360
 your saints.

00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:47.340
 How long,

00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:47.920
 O Lord?

00:41:48.900 --> 00:41:49.880
 How long?

00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:52.760
 As we

00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:53.320
 think about

00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:53.980
 our world,

00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:55.639
 as we

00:41:55.639 --> 00:41:56.179
 think about

00:41:56.179 --> 00:41:56.760
 our own

00:41:56.760 --> 00:41:57.300
 individual

00:41:57.300 --> 00:41:58.019
 lives,

00:41:58.699 --> 00:42:00.260
 we long

00:42:00.260 --> 00:42:00.679
 for you

00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:01.500
 to intervene.

00:42:03.179 --> 00:42:03.480
 And so

00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:03.980
 we pray

00:42:03.980 --> 00:42:04.380
 that you

00:42:04.380 --> 00:42:04.719
 would give

00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:05.659
 us patience

00:42:05.659 --> 00:42:07.000
 and

00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:07.679
 perseverance

00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:09.780
 to trust

00:42:09.780 --> 00:42:10.260
 that you

00:42:10.260 --> 00:42:10.800
 are working

00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:11.320
 out your

00:42:11.320 --> 00:42:11.980
 good and

00:42:11.980 --> 00:42:12.940
 excellent plan

00:42:12.940 --> 00:42:13.739
 for us

00:42:13.739 --> 00:42:14.880
 and for

00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:15.519
 the world.

00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:18.440
 Give us

00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:18.940
 strength,

00:42:19.139 --> 00:42:19.340
 Lord,

00:42:20.059 --> 00:42:20.800
 to keep

00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:21.360
 looking to

00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:23.019
 you in

00:42:23.019 --> 00:42:23.599
 the knowledge

00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:24.299
 that heaven

00:42:24.299 --> 00:42:24.799
 is to

00:42:24.799 --> 00:42:25.119
 come

00:42:25.119 --> 00:42:26.940
 and you

00:42:26.940 --> 00:42:27.239
 will be

00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:27.960
 with us

00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:29.219
 and you

00:42:29.219 --> 00:42:29.739
 will walk

00:42:29.739 --> 00:42:30.400
 with us.

00:42:33.619 --> 00:42:34.219
 Please,

00:42:34.380 --> 00:42:34.619
 Lord,

00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:36.239
 bring many

00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:36.860
 more into

00:42:36.860 --> 00:42:37.460
 your kingdom.

00:42:39.139 --> 00:42:40.199
 Use us

00:42:40.199 --> 00:42:41.559
 to show

00:42:41.559 --> 00:42:41.920
 others

00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:43.500
 who Jesus

00:42:43.500 --> 00:42:43.980
 is.

00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:46.559
 In his name

00:42:46.559 --> 00:42:47.099
 we pray.

00:42:48.179 --> 00:42:48.699
 Amen.

00:42:55.139 --> 00:42:55.880
 We're going

00:42:55.880 --> 00:42:56.360
 to sing

00:42:56.360 --> 00:42:56.940
 together

00:42:56.940 --> 00:43:00.199
 a song

00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:00.579
 that

00:43:00.579 --> 00:43:01.779
 brings our

00:43:01.779 --> 00:43:02.340
 thoughts

00:43:02.340 --> 00:43:04.440
 together.

00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:04.480
 together.

00:43:05.099 --> 00:43:05.539
 There is

00:43:05.539 --> 00:43:06.059
 strength

00:43:06.059 --> 00:43:06.360
 within

00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:06.980
 the sorrow.

00:43:07.500 --> 00:43:07.840
 There is

00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:08.260
 beauty

00:43:08.260 --> 00:43:08.679
 in our

00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:09.119
 tears.

00:43:10.179 --> 00:43:10.440
 And when

00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:10.599
 you

00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:10.639
 meet

00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:10.840
 the

00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:10.980
 heart,

00:43:10.980 --> 00:43:11.639
 you

00:43:11.639 --> 00:43:11.980
 will be

00:43:11.980 --> 00:43:12.639
 in the

00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:12.900
 heart.

00:43:12.900 --> 00:43:13.119
 You

00:43:13.119 --> 00:43:13.179
 will be

00:43:13.179 --> 00:43:13.519
 in the

00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:13.900
 heart.

00:43:13.900 --> 00:43:14.240
 You

00:43:14.240 --> 00:43:14.820
 will be

00:43:14.820 --> 00:43:15.000
 in the

00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:15.119
 heart.

00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:15.440
 You
