00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.540
 Father, we ask that your Holy Spirit would move in a very powerful way in the center of each of our hearts.

00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:09.939
 Father, you know what's going on.

00:00:10.540 --> 00:00:14.960
 Father, some of us might be just really doing spectacular and we praise you for it.

00:00:15.060 --> 00:00:17.019
 Some of us, Father, might be really struggling.

00:00:18.019 --> 00:00:21.359
 Some of us, Father, might no longer struggle, but we become very cynical.

00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:27.300
 And Father, we always know that we have a hard time reading our hearts truly

00:00:27.300 --> 00:00:31.300
 and just even being honest with ourselves, honest with each other and honest with you.

00:00:32.060 --> 00:00:37.600
 So we ask, Father, that your Holy Spirit help us to be honest about the state of our lives and the state of our hearts.

00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:42.420
 And as your Holy Spirit leads us to a sense of honesty about ourselves,

00:00:42.620 --> 00:00:48.179
 may your Holy Spirit lead us to Jesus, lead us to what he's done for us on the cross,

00:00:48.179 --> 00:00:51.920
 and help us to hear your word, Father, in light of these two realities.

00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.200
 And may your word be written on our hearts.

00:00:54.620 --> 00:00:56.920
 And we ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.

00:00:57.779 --> 00:00:58.539
 Please be seated.

00:01:02.379 --> 00:01:04.719
 So we're going to be going through the book of Ruth.

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:06.879
 You can sort of open that if you want.

00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:09.819
 It's a hard book to find in the Bible because it's very, very short.

00:01:10.399 --> 00:01:15.579
 But here's the thing about what we're going to sort of look at in Ruth and all,

00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:22.519
 is there's a big gap for a lot of us between what our hopes are and what our expectations are,

00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.039
 what our desires are, and what reality is like.

00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:30.040
 Like for a lot of us, I guess I should be looking at it from your point of view,

00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:33.280
 our expectations, our hopes are like this.

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:40.360
 And for a lot of us, our reality is way underneath the hopes and expectations we have.

00:01:40.420 --> 00:01:45.160
 And for a lot of us, you know, we sort of have this expectation that life's going to be like this,

00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:46.700
 but the reality is like this.

00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.439
 We thought by now we'd be married.

00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:52.079
 We thought by now we'd have kids.

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.439
 We thought by now we'd have more than one kid or we'd have lots of kids.

00:01:55.539 --> 00:01:57.319
 We thought by now we'd be a lot better off.

00:01:58.039 --> 00:01:59.879
 We thought by now we'd know more about Jesus.

00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.640
 We thought by now we'd have a lot more peace in our lives.

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.480
 We thought by now we'd have more friends.

00:02:06.460 --> 00:02:09.300
 We thought by now we'd be living somewhere nicer than where we're living.

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.460
 And sometimes it's just a bit of a small type of thing,

00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.479
 but for many of us it can be actually quite crushing.

00:02:19.740 --> 00:02:23.920
 Because, and it's not even that our desires and our hopes were sinful.

00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.519
 I don't know that, you know, by now we hoped, I don't know,

00:02:26.559 --> 00:02:28.919
 we'd be the head of a drug cartel or something,

00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:30.759
 and now we're disappointed that we're not.

00:02:30.859 --> 00:02:36.719
 I mean, you know, if that was your hope, God will always crush that hope, okay?

00:02:37.299 --> 00:02:39.299
 If not before the grave, then after,

00:02:39.659 --> 00:02:42.699
 because it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.139
 But anyway, that's going to get us on a rabbit trail.

00:02:46.500 --> 00:02:49.279
 But, you know, for a lot of us it's just we have really good hopes,

00:02:49.379 --> 00:02:51.419
 that, you know, that we'd be making a bit more money,

00:02:51.419 --> 00:02:54.919
 or that we'd have job security, or that we have a job, you know?

00:02:55.459 --> 00:02:57.739
 And so we hope for this.

00:02:58.639 --> 00:02:59.839
 We expect this.

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:01.779
 And this is especially hard.

00:03:01.819 --> 00:03:03.159
 If you're a guest here this morning,

00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:05.279
 and you're still trying to figure out this Jesus thing,

00:03:05.299 --> 00:03:07.459
 it's a very hard thing for a lot of Christians, you know?

00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.799
 Because for Christians we sort of have this expectation

00:03:10.799 --> 00:03:14.519
 that we should just be better, like a better Christian,

00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.299
 like better dealing with our sin, you know?

00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:21.380
 Better just dealing with problems.

00:03:22.460 --> 00:03:25.939
 And the reality is it's way below that.

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:29.540
 And for a lot of us what that does is it creates a type of bitterness.

00:03:30.300 --> 00:03:32.080
 It creates cynicism.

00:03:33.140 --> 00:03:35.980
 For many of us we feel trapped, especially for Christians,

00:03:36.100 --> 00:03:37.240
 but not just for non-Christians.

00:03:37.320 --> 00:03:38.120
 We feel trapped.

00:03:38.220 --> 00:03:39.240
 We don't know what to do with it.

00:03:40.300 --> 00:03:42.840
 And so the scripture text that we're looking at today

00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:48.780
 is a very powerful story about expectations and hope like this,

00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:52.659
 reality right like that,

00:03:53.099 --> 00:03:57.520
 and what it's like to be in between expectations that are high,

00:03:58.199 --> 00:03:59.520
 reality like this,

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.780
 and what does it look like in terms of a relationship with God.

00:04:02.780 --> 00:04:05.020
 So that's what the text is going to talk about.

00:04:05.099 --> 00:04:06.919
 So it would be a great help to me if you open your Bible.

00:04:07.340 --> 00:04:09.159
 We're going to actually have the text up there

00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:14.080
 because we're going to read through the story of Ruth, chapter 1.

00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.759
 But even though the Bible text will be up there,

00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:18.879
 if not this week, other weeks,

00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.819
 it's just really helpful to bring your own Bibles

00:04:20.819 --> 00:04:23.639
 because as you'll see there's some very powerful verses

00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:25.220
 that can be very helpful for many people,

00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.680
 just sort of make a bit of a note beside that in their Bible

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:28.920
 so they can find it later.

00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:30.860
 But the text will be up there

00:04:30.860 --> 00:04:32.360
 because I want you to be able to see

00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.439
 and not only hear as I read,

00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.600
 but see the text as well.

00:04:38.580 --> 00:04:39.920
 So just so you know,

00:04:39.960 --> 00:04:41.360
 as we're about to begin this text,

00:04:42.020 --> 00:04:43.379
 in terms of a bit of a,

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.259
 of, you know, placing it somewhere,

00:04:47.139 --> 00:04:48.060
 the Book of Ruth is,

00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:51.100
 if you have Netflix or if you're a fan of British TV,

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.100
 there's one story in four episodes.

00:04:55.540 --> 00:04:58.439
 So you can go home and binge all four episodes later on.

00:04:58.439 --> 00:04:59.699
 We're just going to look at one episode.

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:01.420
 We're looking at one story,

00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:03.300
 one episode that all together,

00:05:03.500 --> 00:05:04.639
 there's going to be four of them

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.540
 and you need to watch and know all four of them

00:05:06.540 --> 00:05:08.399
 before you fully get all of the things

00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:09.339
 that there are in the story.

00:05:09.719 --> 00:05:11.100
 We're just looking at one episode today

00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:12.480
 and it's chapter 1.

00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.300
 And here's how it goes.

00:05:16.379 --> 00:05:19.279
 In the days when the judges ruled,

00:05:19.819 --> 00:05:21.420
 there was a famine in the land

00:05:21.420 --> 00:05:23.620
 and a man of Bethlehem and Judah

00:05:23.620 --> 00:05:26.980
 went to sojourn in the country of Moab,

00:05:26.980 --> 00:05:28.840
 he and his wife and his two sons.

00:05:29.200 --> 00:05:30.200
 So just sort of pause here

00:05:30.200 --> 00:05:32.020
 because for a lot of you in the room,

00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:33.240
 I've already lost you.

00:05:35.060 --> 00:05:39.400
 Judges, Moab, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada.

00:05:39.640 --> 00:05:41.560
 Okay, so just to put it in a little bit of a place,

00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:45.040
 what we now know of as the Bible

00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.580
 was actually written over many, many, many, many centuries.

00:05:47.700 --> 00:05:49.879
 In fact, over a millennium in different times

00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:51.140
 and with different authors.

00:05:51.139 --> 00:05:54.339
 And what this story is,

00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:55.659
 it's part of a...

00:05:55.659 --> 00:05:57.300
 The story that we're going to read,

00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.680
 what the author has just told us is that,

00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:02.399
 first of all, there's a Hebrew technical thing,

00:06:02.459 --> 00:06:03.839
 but he's telling us it's a true story.

00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:07.240
 I just have to take my word for it.

00:06:07.259 --> 00:06:08.199
 In the original language,

00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:10.240
 there's a technical thing that he begins by saying,

00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:11.399
 I'm going to tell you a true story.

00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.319
 And he sets it about 1,100 years B.C.

00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:16.699
 I know, that's a long time.

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:17.959
 That's Iron Age I.

00:06:18.939 --> 00:06:21.120
 Okay, so wheels have been invented.

00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.379
 But, you know, and writing's been invented.

00:06:25.539 --> 00:06:27.899
 But 1,100 B.C., it's the time of the judges.

00:06:28.379 --> 00:06:30.680
 And in the flow of how the Bible develops,

00:06:30.819 --> 00:06:32.539
 sort of there's an overarching story.

00:06:32.819 --> 00:06:33.859
 And what there is is,

00:06:34.359 --> 00:06:35.799
 you come up to the time of Abraham,

00:06:35.799 --> 00:06:37.019
 and then there's promises

00:06:37.019 --> 00:06:39.019
 that God's going to make a nation out of them,

00:06:39.159 --> 00:06:39.979
 et cetera, et cetera.

00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:42.599
 The tribes of Israel,

00:06:42.679 --> 00:06:44.099
 Israel starts to grow as a nation.

00:06:44.299 --> 00:06:45.359
 They're in Egypt,

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.139
 trapped in bondage and slavery.

00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.100
 And there's a man by the name of Moses

00:06:50.100 --> 00:06:52.240
 who leads the people of Israel out of slavery.

00:06:52.980 --> 00:06:55.980
 But he doesn't actually lead them into the promised land.

00:06:56.500 --> 00:06:57.680
 That's another story.

00:06:58.139 --> 00:06:59.540
 But a man by the name of Joshua

00:06:59.540 --> 00:07:01.120
 leads them into the promised land.

00:07:01.300 --> 00:07:03.199
 And after Joshua dies,

00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:04.920
 is the time of the judges.

00:07:05.699 --> 00:07:06.819
 And the time of the judges

00:07:06.819 --> 00:07:10.199
 is from the time of Joshua's death

00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.080
 until Israel gets its first king.

00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.579
 And the time of the judges,

00:07:14.939 --> 00:07:16.199
 what we would now call it,

00:07:16.419 --> 00:07:17.779
 it's a failed state.

00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:20.099
 Okay?

00:07:20.339 --> 00:07:22.159
 Like when people talk about Libya today,

00:07:22.300 --> 00:07:23.439
 it's a failed state.

00:07:23.539 --> 00:07:24.699
 What characterizes Libya?

00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:26.439
 Lots of warlords.

00:07:27.719 --> 00:07:29.419
 And that's what characterizes Israel.

00:07:29.539 --> 00:07:31.579
 Very shortly after Joshua dies,

00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.120
 Israel in effect becomes a failed state.

00:07:34.659 --> 00:07:36.120
 There's lots of chieftains,

00:07:36.299 --> 00:07:37.539
 tribal warlords,

00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:38.919
 armed to the teeth.

00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.500
 And it's a very, very, very dark time

00:07:41.500 --> 00:07:42.500
 in Israel's history.

00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:43.720
 And if you read the book of Judges,

00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:45.100
 what happens is periodically

00:07:45.100 --> 00:07:47.480
 God tries to pierce the darkness

00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.280
 by raising up a particular warlord

00:07:49.280 --> 00:07:50.680
 to try to bring a bit of harmony

00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:52.160
 and type of peace and prosperity.

00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:53.300
 But generally,

00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:55.600
 the time of the judges is a failed state.

00:07:55.660 --> 00:07:57.000
 So that's what the author is telling you.

00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:58.060
 I'm going to tell you a story

00:07:58.060 --> 00:08:00.300
 that happens during a time

00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:01.879
 when Israel is a failed state,

00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:04.300
 ruled by many, many different chieftains

00:08:04.300 --> 00:08:05.439
 all fighting each other.

00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:06.939
 Okay?

00:08:07.300 --> 00:08:08.520
 Oh, the other thing I'll mention to you this.

00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:10.159
 It's going to be really important to the story.

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.579
 So the Israelites have stories

00:08:13.579 --> 00:08:16.039
 to understand how the different nations come about.

00:08:16.139 --> 00:08:18.819
 And Moab is an historic enemy of Israel.

00:08:20.039 --> 00:08:23.299
 And their understanding of how Moab came to be

00:08:23.299 --> 00:08:24.939
 was that there was a man named Lot.

00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:26.199
 He got...

00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:26.979
 I'm not making this up.

00:08:27.019 --> 00:08:28.019
 This is actually in the Bible.

00:08:28.819 --> 00:08:29.779
 It's in the book of Genesis.

00:08:30.019 --> 00:08:31.419
 A man named Lot got drunk

00:08:31.419 --> 00:08:32.899
 and had sex with his daughter.

00:08:32.899 --> 00:08:36.539
 And as a result of having sex with his daughter

00:08:36.539 --> 00:08:37.699
 after he was drunk,

00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:39.959
 the child that was born

00:08:39.959 --> 00:08:42.079
 became the founder of the people of Moab.

00:08:43.860 --> 00:08:45.240
 And the people of Moab

00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:47.360
 become a traditional enemy

00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.439
 of Israel,

00:08:49.579 --> 00:08:51.159
 even though Israel is a failed state.

00:08:51.899 --> 00:08:53.240
 Another thing about Moab

00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:56.100
 is the gods that they worship

00:08:56.100 --> 00:08:58.600
 include the god Moloch,

00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:02.340
 which is a god that demands infant sacrifice.

00:09:04.740 --> 00:09:06.220
 And it would have been...

00:09:06.220 --> 00:09:08.480
 Many of the gods in Moab

00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:09.480
 would have required

00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.620
 that the way you go to worship...

00:09:11.620 --> 00:09:12.980
 Like, you know, you've heard this before.

00:09:13.100 --> 00:09:15.540
 If I was an ancient Moabitess

00:09:15.540 --> 00:09:16.379
 and I said to Louise,

00:09:16.460 --> 00:09:17.659
 I'm off to the temple to worship,

00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:18.800
 it would mean I'm having sex

00:09:18.800 --> 00:09:20.000
 with a temple prostitute.

00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:21.980
 That's how you worship.

00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.360
 And so that's the situation of this.

00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:26.920
 So all the way through when you hear Moab,

00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:28.120
 that's the context.

00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:29.459
 This is a woman who's grown up

00:09:29.459 --> 00:09:30.419
 worshiping Moloch,

00:09:30.959 --> 00:09:32.259
 these fertility religions,

00:09:32.899 --> 00:09:34.959
 ancient enemy of the Israelite people.

00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.099
 And so now you have a bit of a context.

00:09:37.299 --> 00:09:38.699
 I'll go back and...

00:09:38.699 --> 00:09:39.879
 So anyway,

00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:41.579
 so I'll go back and read it again.

00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:43.019
 Maybe it won't be quite as yada yada

00:09:43.019 --> 00:09:43.759
 now that you hear it.

00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:44.879
 Okay, so in the days...

00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:45.259
 Verse 1,

00:09:45.299 --> 00:09:46.860
 in the days when the judges ruled

00:09:46.860 --> 00:09:48.360
 to fail state,

00:09:48.699 --> 00:09:50.319
 there was a famine in the land

00:09:50.319 --> 00:09:52.299
 and the man of Bethlehem...

00:09:52.299 --> 00:09:53.099
 And here, by the way,

00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:54.000
 there's a great irony

00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:55.559
 because all Jewish people reading this

00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:56.879
 would know what Bethlehem means.

00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:58.579
 Bethlehem means house of bread.

00:10:00.219 --> 00:10:01.459
 And in the house of bread,

00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:02.159
 there's a famine.

00:10:04.599 --> 00:10:06.099
 So a man of Bethlehem,

00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:07.579
 the house of bread,

00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:09.199
 he leaves to sojourn

00:10:09.199 --> 00:10:10.319
 in the country of Moab,

00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:11.659
 he and his wife

00:10:11.659 --> 00:10:12.620
 and his two sons.

00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:14.379
 The name of the man

00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:15.139
 was Elimelech

00:10:15.139 --> 00:10:16.779
 and the name of his wife,

00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:17.339
 Naomi,

00:10:17.899 --> 00:10:19.419
 and the name of his two sons

00:10:19.419 --> 00:10:21.079
 were Malon and Kilian.

00:10:21.699 --> 00:10:22.879
 They were Ephrathites

00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:24.279
 from Bethlehem in Judah

00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:25.939
 and they went into the country

00:10:25.939 --> 00:10:26.419
 of Moab

00:10:26.419 --> 00:10:27.500
 and remained there.

00:10:27.620 --> 00:10:28.659
 And just sort of paused there

00:10:28.659 --> 00:10:29.679
 because there's something else

00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:30.480
 which is significant.

00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:33.199
 I'm called George

00:10:33.199 --> 00:10:35.179
 because my dad's name is George.

00:10:36.439 --> 00:10:38.919
 And my sister and my brother,

00:10:39.059 --> 00:10:40.459
 they aren't named after any relative.

00:10:40.819 --> 00:10:41.459
 They're just...

00:10:41.460 --> 00:10:42.639
 My parents like the sound

00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:43.200
 of their names.

00:10:43.820 --> 00:10:44.639
 But in this culture,

00:10:44.740 --> 00:10:45.980
 names always mean something.

00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:48.139
 And it's a bit of a...

00:10:48.139 --> 00:10:49.080
 It's a big statement.

00:10:49.820 --> 00:10:51.220
 And in the original language,

00:10:51.580 --> 00:10:52.920
 this guy, Elimelech,

00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:53.920
 and his wife, Naomi,

00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:55.660
 they named their two sons,

00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:57.000
 I am not making this up,

00:10:57.920 --> 00:10:59.720
 weak and fragile.

00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:02.680
 Wouldn't that suck?

00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:05.439
 Hi, I'm weak.

00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:08.419
 This is my brother, fragile.

00:11:10.479 --> 00:11:13.299
 And so for the Jewish readers,

00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:15.979
 it's entering into the fact

00:11:15.979 --> 00:11:17.019
 that what's going on here?

00:11:17.079 --> 00:11:18.379
 This guy's named his kids

00:11:18.379 --> 00:11:19.259
 weak and fragile.

00:11:20.439 --> 00:11:21.739
 And sojourn means

00:11:21.739 --> 00:11:22.399
 that they go to be

00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:23.319
 a resident alien

00:11:23.319 --> 00:11:24.959
 for a season in Moab.

00:11:25.099 --> 00:11:26.419
 They leave the promised land

00:11:26.419 --> 00:11:27.339
 to go into a place

00:11:27.339 --> 00:11:28.199
 of Israel's enemies.

00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:30.279
 But as the language moves,

00:11:30.339 --> 00:11:31.219
 you see that they begin

00:11:31.220 --> 00:11:32.700
 just by going to be

00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:33.740
 their resident aliens,

00:11:33.940 --> 00:11:35.540
 like just to be migrant workers

00:11:35.540 --> 00:11:36.379
 for a short season,

00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:37.399
 but they end up staying.

00:11:38.040 --> 00:11:39.220
 They end up making it their home.

00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:41.200
 Verse 3.

00:11:42.660 --> 00:11:44.120
 But Elimelech, by the way,

00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:45.680
 which means my God is king,

00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:48.700
 the husband of Naomi died.

00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:50.420
 Remember I said

00:11:50.420 --> 00:11:51.680
 this is a difference between

00:11:51.680 --> 00:11:53.100
 and she was left

00:11:53.100 --> 00:11:53.920
 with her two sons.

00:11:54.680 --> 00:11:56.779
 These took Moabite wives.

00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.420
 The name of one was Orpah

00:12:00.419 --> 00:12:01.479
 and the name of the other

00:12:01.479 --> 00:12:02.120
 was Ruth.

00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:03.259
 And they lived there

00:12:03.259 --> 00:12:04.259
 about 10 years.

00:12:04.839 --> 00:12:08.000
 And both Malan and Killian died

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.339
 so that the woman was left

00:12:10.339 --> 00:12:11.279
 without her two sons

00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:11.860
 and her husband.

00:12:13.819 --> 00:12:16.139
 Now here's her expectations,

00:12:16.740 --> 00:12:19.019
 Naomi's expectations and hopes

00:12:19.019 --> 00:12:20.379
 were probably to have

00:12:20.379 --> 00:12:21.519
 a lot more than two children.

00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:25.639
 to spend a long life

00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:27.039
 with her husband

00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:29.740
 and to just sort of

00:12:29.740 --> 00:12:30.679
 weather the famine

00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:31.919
 and be able to return

00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:33.439
 to where she knew everybody

00:12:33.439 --> 00:12:34.759
 and everybody knew her name

00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:35.679
 in a good sense.

00:12:36.539 --> 00:12:37.500
 And now here she is.

00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:38.860
 She's more than 10 years

00:12:38.860 --> 00:12:39.899
 living in a country

00:12:39.899 --> 00:12:42.360
 that worships other gods

00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:44.220
 and practices child sacrifice

00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:45.460
 and fertility religion.

00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:47.199
 Her boys have married

00:12:47.199 --> 00:12:47.960
 Moabite women,

00:12:48.100 --> 00:12:49.259
 which maybe isn't that bad

00:12:49.259 --> 00:12:50.139
 from her point of view.

00:12:50.139 --> 00:12:50.860
 Maybe it's all right.

00:12:50.939 --> 00:12:51.879
 The text doesn't tell you

00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:52.460
 whether she thinks

00:12:52.460 --> 00:12:53.199
 it's good or bad.

00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:55.500
 And then 10 years,

00:12:55.580 --> 00:12:56.620
 at least 10 years later,

00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:57.980
 both of her sons die

00:12:57.980 --> 00:12:59.539
 and they have never had children.

00:13:01.220 --> 00:13:02.480
 And in the ancient world,

00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:03.939
 this is just disaster

00:13:03.939 --> 00:13:04.879
 upon disaster

00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:05.819
 upon disaster.

00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:09.139
 Her hopes and expectations

00:13:09.699 --> 00:13:10.460
 are here.

00:13:10.939 --> 00:13:11.639
 The reality,

00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:14.299
 well, I'd have to get off the stage

00:13:14.299 --> 00:13:15.240
 and get down on the ground

00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:15.919
 because that's how low

00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:16.620
 the reality is.

00:13:16.620 --> 00:13:17.860
 She's been crushed by life

00:13:17.860 --> 00:13:18.960
 and she's now probably

00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:20.279
 in her mid-50s,

00:13:20.539 --> 00:13:21.840
 which is really old

00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:22.820
 in the ancient world.

00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.220
 And her life

00:13:26.220 --> 00:13:27.799
 has not even remotely

00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:28.860
 turned out the way

00:13:28.860 --> 00:13:29.600
 that it should.

00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:31.779
 Now, I just want to make

00:13:31.779 --> 00:13:32.799
 a bit of a pause here

00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:33.419
 about the story

00:13:33.419 --> 00:13:34.899
 before we keep on reading it.

00:13:35.899 --> 00:13:37.120
 To modern people

00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:37.879
 reading this story,

00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:38.799
 there's some stuff in it

00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:39.919
 that sounds really crazy

00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:41.279
 and sexist, right?

00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:44.379
 Like, if Disney

00:13:44.379 --> 00:13:45.799
 was doing this story today,

00:13:46.659 --> 00:13:48.500
 well, he'd pray love.

00:13:49.079 --> 00:13:50.039
 Your husbands die,

00:13:50.139 --> 00:13:51.179
 you'll pick up some Buddhism

00:13:51.179 --> 00:13:52.939
 and drink some wine

00:13:52.939 --> 00:13:54.059
 and do a bit of traveling

00:13:54.059 --> 00:13:55.720
 and pick up a lover,

00:13:56.439 --> 00:13:57.459
 begin a new life.

00:13:59.139 --> 00:13:59.500
 You know?

00:14:00.179 --> 00:14:01.579
 But gosh, the idea

00:14:01.579 --> 00:14:03.079
 that just because your man

00:14:03.079 --> 00:14:04.679
 is no longer in your life,

00:14:04.740 --> 00:14:05.459
 your life is over,

00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:06.959
 like, how crazy is that?

00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:09.899
 Well, so why is it

00:14:09.899 --> 00:14:10.879
 that we would even be looking

00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:11.639
 at a story

00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:13.059
 where the great tragedy

00:14:13.059 --> 00:14:14.679
 is for a woman

00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:15.819
 to no longer be connected

00:14:15.819 --> 00:14:16.459
 to a man?

00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:17.879
 Like, what on earth

00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:19.220
 could a story like this,

00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:19.759
 which is written

00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:21.779
 1,100 years before Jesus,

00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.120
 that has such a patriarchal

00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:25.480
 and sexist context

00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:26.259
 and culture,

00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:27.759
 why on earth

00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:29.340
 would any smart person

00:14:29.340 --> 00:14:30.360
 even bother reading

00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:31.199
 such a story?

00:14:35.319 --> 00:14:35.799
 Well,

00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:38.659
 there's a couple of reasons.

00:14:38.659 --> 00:14:40.279
 the first reason,

00:14:40.439 --> 00:14:41.779
 if you're here as a guest,

00:14:41.939 --> 00:14:43.100
 is that Jesus tells me

00:14:43.100 --> 00:14:43.539
 to read it.

00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:46.179
 As crazy as it sounds,

00:14:46.939 --> 00:14:47.939
 if you go back

00:14:47.939 --> 00:14:49.039
 and you read the book of Luke

00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:50.600
 and you see what Jesus says

00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:51.519
 after he's died

00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:52.419
 and after he's risen

00:14:52.419 --> 00:14:53.000
 from the dead,

00:14:53.100 --> 00:14:54.419
 Jesus says that everything

00:14:54.419 --> 00:14:55.639
 in those 39 books

00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:56.299
 that we now call

00:14:56.299 --> 00:14:57.039
 the Old Testament,

00:14:57.559 --> 00:14:58.959
 39 books that were written

00:14:58.959 --> 00:14:59.959
 before Jesus came,

00:15:00.019 --> 00:15:00.659
 that all of them

00:15:00.659 --> 00:15:01.639
 speak about him,

00:15:02.620 --> 00:15:03.399
 that all of them

00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:04.740
 in some way prepare us

00:15:04.740 --> 00:15:05.600
 to hear and understand

00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:06.240
 the gospel.

00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:09.100
 And so this is really important

00:15:09.100 --> 00:15:10.759
 because when Jesus tells us

00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:11.480
 that when we read

00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:12.240
 these stories,

00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:13.080
 it's preparing us

00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:13.899
 to hear the gospel

00:15:13.899 --> 00:15:14.519
 and to know more

00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:15.759
 about what God is like.

00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:17.860
 It means that it

00:15:17.860 --> 00:15:20.039
 deconstructs,

00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:21.399
 to use postmodern language,

00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:23.019
 it deconstructs

00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:25.200
 the patriarchal culture

00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:26.100
 and the sexist culture.

00:15:26.259 --> 00:15:27.039
 Jesus doesn't say,

00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:29.379
 listen to these earlier books

00:15:29.379 --> 00:15:31.019
 because dang it,

00:15:31.019 --> 00:15:31.320
 men,

00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:31.980
 it'll teach you

00:15:31.980 --> 00:15:32.879
 how to treat your woman.

00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:35.159
 You know,

00:15:35.220 --> 00:15:35.960
 it'll put women

00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:37.080
 in their place.

00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:38.840
 No, that's not what he says.

00:15:38.939 --> 00:15:39.379
 He says,

00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:41.259
 you read all these books

00:15:41.259 --> 00:15:42.220
 that were written before me.

00:15:42.340 --> 00:15:43.879
 God is the ultimate author of it

00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:45.019
 and all of these books

00:15:45.019 --> 00:15:45.600
 will help you

00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:46.399
 to understand

00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:47.519
 who I am

00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:48.600
 and what I've just accomplished

00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:49.019
 for you

00:15:49.019 --> 00:15:49.740
 when I've died for you

00:15:49.740 --> 00:15:50.379
 on the cross.

00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:53.059
 And so when we read

00:15:53.059 --> 00:15:53.700
 this story,

00:15:53.779 --> 00:15:54.559
 we're not reading it

00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:54.919
 to say,

00:15:55.019 --> 00:15:55.980
 oh, isn't that terrible

00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:57.179
 about how,

00:15:57.179 --> 00:15:58.019
 it doesn't,

00:15:58.580 --> 00:15:59.679
 and here's the other thing

00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:00.279
 which is really,

00:16:00.419 --> 00:16:00.679
 really,

00:16:00.860 --> 00:16:01.740
 really important,

00:16:01.740 --> 00:16:02.419
 just as important

00:16:02.419 --> 00:16:03.539
 as that last one.

00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:05.220
 You see,

00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:06.379
 the Christian faith

00:16:06.379 --> 00:16:07.840
 is all about

00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:09.700
 this spectacular story

00:16:09.700 --> 00:16:11.980
 that God tells us

00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:14.980
 and how particular individuals

00:16:14.980 --> 00:16:16.320
 like you and me

00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:19.019
 enter into God's story.

00:16:19.620 --> 00:16:20.779
 It's not about

00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:22.639
 abstract principles.

00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:23.519
 It's not about

00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:25.220
 some abstract truth.

00:16:26.180 --> 00:16:28.159
 But the fact of the matter is

00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:28.960
 that, you know,

00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:29.919
 if Jesus tarries

00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:31.560
 and my great-great-grandchildren

00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:32.819
 if I'm blessed

00:16:32.819 --> 00:16:34.339
 to have great-great-grandchildren

00:16:34.339 --> 00:16:35.539
 and they look back

00:16:35.539 --> 00:16:36.199
 on my life,

00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:36.879
 they're going to say,

00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:37.179
 you know,

00:16:37.259 --> 00:16:38.500
 if I was to try to tell them,

00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:39.519
 assuming I'm still alive

00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:40.259
 and I get to tell them

00:16:40.259 --> 00:16:41.399
 my great-great-grandchildren,

00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:41.979
 I mean,

00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:42.659
 I'm going to have to tell them

00:16:42.659 --> 00:16:43.019
 all the time,

00:16:43.079 --> 00:16:43.819
 well, it's not like that.

00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:44.879
 Like back then,

00:16:45.319 --> 00:16:46.099
 in my story,

00:16:46.179 --> 00:16:47.039
 it's not like now.

00:16:47.079 --> 00:16:48.199
 I'd have to keep telling them that

00:16:48.199 --> 00:16:50.379
 because I have a particular life.

00:16:50.459 --> 00:16:51.259
 I speak English.

00:16:51.339 --> 00:16:52.239
 I live in Ottawa.

00:16:52.439 --> 00:16:54.500
 I have a particular job.

00:16:54.619 --> 00:16:55.659
 There's particular ways.

00:16:55.719 --> 00:16:56.359
 I have to tell them

00:16:56.359 --> 00:16:56.939
 in Costco,

00:16:57.159 --> 00:16:57.279
 you know,

00:16:57.299 --> 00:16:57.979
 when you go to Costco,

00:16:57.979 --> 00:16:58.839
 you leave your cart

00:16:58.839 --> 00:16:59.919
 on one side

00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:00.979
 and you walk the other side

00:17:00.979 --> 00:17:01.979
 but you can go to Loblaws.

00:17:02.899 --> 00:17:03.679
 That's what makes

00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:04.399
 a life a life,

00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:04.779
 isn't it?

00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:06.460
 Human beings don't live

00:17:06.460 --> 00:17:07.659
 abstract lives.

00:17:08.220 --> 00:17:09.299
 We live embodied,

00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:10.379
 embedded lives

00:17:10.379 --> 00:17:11.659
 in a particular story.

00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:13.259
 And so one of the wonderful things

00:17:13.259 --> 00:17:16.039
 is the Bible is going to tell us

00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:16.920
 all these things

00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:18.579
 and they're particular stories.

00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:20.559
 It's not just some abstract Ruth.

00:17:20.659 --> 00:17:21.940
 It's not a fairy tale Ruth.

00:17:22.019 --> 00:17:23.119
 It's not a Disney Ruth

00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:24.339
 and they're not a Disney Naomi.

00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:25.799
 It's, well,

00:17:25.859 --> 00:17:26.879
 it's a Naomi and a Ruth

00:17:26.879 --> 00:17:28.639
 who lived in a failed nation state

00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:29.240
 who go to live

00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:30.360
 to a particular country

00:17:30.360 --> 00:17:31.180
 that worship gods

00:17:31.180 --> 00:17:32.000
 in a particular way

00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:33.720
 that have particular social customs.

00:17:34.180 --> 00:17:34.740
 And you know what?

00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:35.740
 If God's story

00:17:35.740 --> 00:17:37.180
 is going to intersect with them

00:17:37.180 --> 00:17:38.740
 in their particular real life,

00:17:38.840 --> 00:17:39.460
 there is hope

00:17:39.460 --> 00:17:41.960
 that he will connect with me

00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:43.900
 in my real and particular life.

00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:46.520
 And so reading the Old Testament

00:17:46.520 --> 00:17:47.360
 helps us to start

00:17:47.360 --> 00:17:48.820
 to understand that,

00:17:48.900 --> 00:17:49.780
 that it's important,

00:17:49.940 --> 00:17:51.220
 my particular life.

00:17:51.300 --> 00:17:52.040
 And I'm going to learn

00:17:52.040 --> 00:17:53.140
 to follow Jesus

00:17:53.140 --> 00:17:55.360
 in postmodern,

00:17:57.420 --> 00:17:58.880
 post-capitalist,

00:17:59.620 --> 00:18:00.340
 prosperous,

00:18:02.180 --> 00:18:02.680
 none,

00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:03.680
 N-O-N-E,

00:18:03.900 --> 00:18:04.140
 Ottawa.

00:18:06.320 --> 00:18:07.259
 Now, okay,

00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:08.120
 well, that's,

00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:09.320
 now, you know,

00:18:09.360 --> 00:18:10.400
 we've spent a bit of a time

00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:11.460
 just trying to get into this

00:18:11.460 --> 00:18:12.960
 and now we see

00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:13.680
 what's going to happen.

00:18:13.800 --> 00:18:14.600
 So what's going to happen

00:18:14.600 --> 00:18:15.120
 to Naomi?

00:18:15.800 --> 00:18:17.120
 Her life is collapsed.

00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:20.479
 In the ancient world,

00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:21.419
 if you're not connected

00:18:21.419 --> 00:18:22.079
 to a man

00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:23.399
 and to a family system,

00:18:24.019 --> 00:18:25.279
 you have nothing.

00:18:25.459 --> 00:18:26.359
 You are poorer

00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:27.959
 than poorer than poor.

00:18:28.059 --> 00:18:29.439
 You are poorer than dirt.

00:18:30.479 --> 00:18:31.659
 You have no protector.

00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:33.879
 You have no social structure.

00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:34.299
 There's no,

00:18:34.459 --> 00:18:35.939
 the social security network

00:18:35.939 --> 00:18:37.399
 in the ancient world

00:18:37.399 --> 00:18:38.639
 was connected to family

00:18:38.639 --> 00:18:39.379
 and kinship

00:18:39.379 --> 00:18:40.259
 and it was connected

00:18:40.259 --> 00:18:40.939
 through men

00:18:40.939 --> 00:18:42.039
 and so what on earth

00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:42.879
 is Naomi going to do?

00:18:42.919 --> 00:18:43.599
 Well, that's what the rest

00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:44.739
 of this episode is about

00:18:44.739 --> 00:18:45.579
 and the rest of the whole,

00:18:45.919 --> 00:18:47.099
 all four episodes.

00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:47.919
 are about.

00:18:48.179 --> 00:18:49.239
 But what immediately happens?

00:18:49.339 --> 00:18:49.819
 Well, let's look.

00:18:49.939 --> 00:18:50.479
 Verse 6.

00:18:52.139 --> 00:18:52.399
 Then,

00:18:52.959 --> 00:18:54.259
 then,

00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:57.419
 she arose with her daughters-in-law

00:18:57.419 --> 00:19:00.159
 to return from the country of Moab

00:19:00.159 --> 00:19:01.899
 for she had heard

00:19:01.899 --> 00:19:03.039
 in the fields of Moab

00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:05.179
 that the Lord had visited his people

00:19:05.179 --> 00:19:06.179
 and given them food.

00:19:07.659 --> 00:19:09.319
 So she set out from the place

00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:09.959
 where she was

00:19:09.959 --> 00:19:11.279
 with her two daughters-in-law

00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:12.739
 and they went on the way

00:19:12.739 --> 00:19:14.699
 to return to the land of Judah.

00:19:14.700 --> 00:19:21.299
 But Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law,

00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:22.740
 May the Lord deal,

00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:24.819
 sorry, I skipped a bit,

00:19:24.940 --> 00:19:26.779
 but Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law,

00:19:27.299 --> 00:19:30.600
 Go, return each of you

00:19:30.600 --> 00:19:31.960
 to her mother's house.

00:19:32.980 --> 00:19:34.860
 May the Lord deal kindly with you

00:19:34.860 --> 00:19:36.620
 as you have dealt with the dead

00:19:36.620 --> 00:19:37.440
 and with me.

00:19:38.180 --> 00:19:40.420
 The Lord grant that you may find rest

00:19:40.420 --> 00:19:41.660
 in each of you

00:19:41.660 --> 00:19:43.059
 in the house of her husband.

00:19:43.059 --> 00:19:45.039
 Then she kissed them

00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:46.299
 and they

00:19:46.299 --> 00:19:47.819
 lifted up their voices

00:19:47.819 --> 00:19:48.399
 and wept.

00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:50.720
 Now, this is quite a remarkable

00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:52.179
 little thing

00:19:52.179 --> 00:19:53.619
 and it introduces a word

00:19:53.619 --> 00:19:55.839
 that's not translated into English.

00:19:55.940 --> 00:19:57.500
 It's actually one of the most important words

00:19:57.500 --> 00:19:58.940
 in the entire Old Testament.

00:19:59.079 --> 00:19:59.980
 Those 39 books

00:19:59.980 --> 00:20:00.700
 that were written

00:20:00.700 --> 00:20:02.039
 before the time of Jesus

00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:03.639
 and I can't get the,

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:04.460
 you know,

00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:06.200
 in the original language

00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:08.000
 often with Hebrews

00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:09.819
 it sounds like they're going to spit,

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:10.859
 like they're trying to,

00:20:10.859 --> 00:20:11.079
 you know,

00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:12.519
 get their phlegm going,

00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:13.000
 you know,

00:20:13.379 --> 00:20:15.740
 but it's chesed.

00:20:16.460 --> 00:20:18.519
 And it's this concept

00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:20.779
 that God has this love

00:20:20.779 --> 00:20:21.859
 that's unfailing,

00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:23.000
 that's unstoppable,

00:20:23.379 --> 00:20:24.319
 that's kind,

00:20:24.740 --> 00:20:25.740
 that's loyal,

00:20:26.220 --> 00:20:26.879
 that's connected

00:20:26.879 --> 00:20:29.059
 to an unending covenant,

00:20:29.259 --> 00:20:30.559
 an unending relationship

00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:31.859
 that he makes

00:20:31.859 --> 00:20:33.240
 with human beings

00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:35.000
 and it's chesed love.

00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:36.460
 And this is quite

00:20:36.460 --> 00:20:37.440
 a remarkable statement.

00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:39.779
 Naomi basically says,

00:20:39.779 --> 00:20:40.220
 listen,

00:20:40.899 --> 00:20:42.359
 my life is ruined.

00:20:43.059 --> 00:20:44.519
 My life is over.

00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:46.519
 I am really low

00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:49.519
 and you shouldn't be connected

00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:50.200
 to me anymore.

00:20:50.339 --> 00:20:51.160
 You're still young.

00:20:51.899 --> 00:20:53.039
 You still got your looks.

00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:54.660
 You should go back

00:20:54.660 --> 00:20:56.460
 to your tribal places of origins

00:20:56.460 --> 00:20:59.460
 and in the original language,

00:20:59.700 --> 00:21:00.339
 mother's house

00:21:00.339 --> 00:21:01.940
 is a code word for marriage.

00:21:03.019 --> 00:21:04.099
 Go back to where

00:21:04.099 --> 00:21:05.480
 you can find somebody to marry

00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:08.059
 and where you can find a husband.

00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:10.059
 And what she does

00:21:10.059 --> 00:21:11.079
 is she pronounces,

00:21:11.140 --> 00:21:12.000
 it's quite remarkable

00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:13.779
 because in the ancient world,

00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:15.779
 basically they saw

00:21:15.779 --> 00:21:17.160
 there's this close connection

00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:18.319
 between the gods,

00:21:18.860 --> 00:21:19.539
 the people,

00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:20.759
 and the land.

00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:22.440
 And they were inseparable.

00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:24.279
 Each land had its people

00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:25.519
 that belonged to the land

00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:26.740
 and each people and land

00:21:26.740 --> 00:21:27.839
 had their own gods.

00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:29.339
 And she says,

00:21:29.420 --> 00:21:30.960
 she pronounces this blessing on them.

00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:31.460
 She says,

00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:32.500
 it costs to myself,

00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:33.519
 I will be by myself,

00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:34.980
 my life is ruined.

00:21:35.139 --> 00:21:36.099
 I don't want to have you,

00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:37.940
 I don't want to drag you down anymore.

00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:39.379
 So I'd like you to go back,

00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:40.680
 go to your place,

00:21:41.019 --> 00:21:41.879
 find a husband,

00:21:42.460 --> 00:21:43.559
 and may the Lord,

00:21:44.180 --> 00:21:46.700
 may his hesed love.

00:21:46.819 --> 00:21:47.339
 That's what it means,

00:21:47.420 --> 00:21:47.680
 it says,

00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:48.920
 translated here is kindly.

00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:51.339
 And even though the Lord

00:21:51.339 --> 00:21:52.680
 isn't the Lord of Moab,

00:21:52.900 --> 00:21:54.759
 she has this remarkable insight

00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:55.759
 that somehow or another

00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:56.500
 the Lord,

00:21:57.579 --> 00:21:58.059
 Yahweh,

00:21:58.059 --> 00:22:00.700
 is in fact also God in Moab.

00:22:01.660 --> 00:22:02.559
 And may the God

00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:04.559
 that is the true God,

00:22:04.980 --> 00:22:06.079
 may his relationship

00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:07.200
 be loyal,

00:22:08.139 --> 00:22:08.899
 steadfast,

00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:10.460
 unfailing love

00:22:10.460 --> 00:22:11.139
 and kindness

00:22:11.139 --> 00:22:11.779
 and goodness

00:22:11.779 --> 00:22:12.859
 and favor to you.

00:22:14.579 --> 00:22:15.399
 So it's actually

00:22:15.399 --> 00:22:16.639
 quite a remarkable thing

00:22:16.639 --> 00:22:17.779
 to pronounce this blessing

00:22:17.779 --> 00:22:20.099
 and to take this cut

00:22:20.099 --> 00:22:22.159
 to our own health

00:22:22.159 --> 00:22:23.119
 and prosperity

00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:24.859
 and it's quite remarkable.

00:22:25.399 --> 00:22:27.000
 But they react to it

00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:27.679
 by weeping.

00:22:28.399 --> 00:22:29.480
 They react to it

00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:30.119
 by weeping.

00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:32.699
 So how do they respond?

00:22:32.779 --> 00:22:33.839
 They said in verse 10,

00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:36.019
 and they said to her,

00:22:36.159 --> 00:22:38.099
 that's Ruth and Orpah,

00:22:38.179 --> 00:22:38.519
 they said,

00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:38.859
 no,

00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:41.299
 we will return with you

00:22:41.299 --> 00:22:41.979
 to your people.

00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:44.000
 But Naomi said,

00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:44.859
 turn back,

00:22:45.539 --> 00:22:46.279
 turn back,

00:22:46.379 --> 00:22:46.839
 my daughters.

00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:48.299
 Why will you go with me?

00:22:48.739 --> 00:22:49.399
 What we see here

00:22:49.399 --> 00:22:49.919
 is she's going to give

00:22:49.919 --> 00:22:51.099
 a bit of a reality check.

00:22:51.739 --> 00:22:51.919
 Okay?

00:22:52.379 --> 00:22:53.159
 Okay, right now

00:22:53.159 --> 00:22:54.079
 we're having a fun time

00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:55.199
 around the campfire,

00:22:55.339 --> 00:22:56.279
 me and the two of you

00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:56.899
 and we're all talking

00:22:56.899 --> 00:22:57.839
 about old times

00:22:57.839 --> 00:22:59.460
 and eating a little bit

00:22:59.460 --> 00:23:00.000
 of hummus

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:00.819
 and some tabbouleh

00:23:00.819 --> 00:23:01.379
 and I don't know,

00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:02.480
 maybe got some goat

00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:03.480
 or something like that.

00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:04.500
 We're having a great old time

00:23:04.500 --> 00:23:05.240
 around the campfire.

00:23:05.660 --> 00:23:07.200
 This is reality check time.

00:23:07.420 --> 00:23:07.639
 Okay?

00:23:08.399 --> 00:23:08.759
 Girls,

00:23:09.220 --> 00:23:09.460
 you know,

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:10.319
 in a sense she says,

00:23:10.420 --> 00:23:10.660
 women,

00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:12.440
 this is reality check time.

00:23:12.899 --> 00:23:13.359
 Verse 11,

00:23:13.500 --> 00:23:13.980
 turn back,

00:23:14.059 --> 00:23:14.440
 my daughters.

00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:15.500
 Why will you go with me?

00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:17.099
 Have I yet sons in my womb

00:23:17.099 --> 00:23:17.940
 that they may become

00:23:17.940 --> 00:23:18.519
 your husbands?

00:23:19.099 --> 00:23:19.779
 Turn back,

00:23:19.879 --> 00:23:20.379
 my daughters.

00:23:20.500 --> 00:23:21.139
 Go your way,

00:23:21.220 --> 00:23:22.220
 for I am too old

00:23:22.220 --> 00:23:22.940
 to have a husband.

00:23:23.420 --> 00:23:24.180
 If I should say,

00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:25.079
 I have hope.

00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:27.359
 Even if I should have

00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:28.319
 a husband this night

00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:30.259
 and conceive that night

00:23:30.259 --> 00:23:31.119
 and bear sons,

00:23:31.319 --> 00:23:31.920
 would you therefore

00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:33.000
 wait till they are grown?

00:23:33.579 --> 00:23:34.379
 Would you therefore

00:23:34.379 --> 00:23:35.480
 refrain from marrying?

00:23:35.980 --> 00:23:36.299
 No,

00:23:36.379 --> 00:23:36.980
 my daughters,

00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:38.399
 for it is exceedingly

00:23:38.399 --> 00:23:40.039
 bitter to me

00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:41.379
 for your sake

00:23:41.379 --> 00:23:43.079
 that the hand of the Lord

00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:44.240
 has gone out against me.

00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:47.079
 Now just pause here

00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:47.639
 for a second.

00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:48.399
 This is a really

00:23:48.399 --> 00:23:49.559
 important pause here.

00:23:49.639 --> 00:23:50.279
 Remember I said

00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:51.539
 this is a story

00:23:51.539 --> 00:23:54.019
 that we have expectations,

00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:55.160
 we have dreams,

00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:56.039
 we have hopes,

00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:56.879
 we have desires

00:23:56.879 --> 00:23:57.859
 and they always

00:23:57.859 --> 00:23:58.700
 go like this.

00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:00.379
 Her reality

00:24:00.379 --> 00:24:01.099
 is way,

00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:01.319
 way,

00:24:01.420 --> 00:24:02.359
 way down here

00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:03.899
 and how is she

00:24:03.899 --> 00:24:04.799
 living between

00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:06.299
 reality and hope?

00:24:07.139 --> 00:24:07.740
 And at first

00:24:07.740 --> 00:24:08.319
 it looked like

00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:09.759
 she is super Christian,

00:24:10.399 --> 00:24:11.539
 super godly,

00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:13.519
 profound insight

00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:14.359
 about the nature

00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:14.960
 of God,

00:24:15.059 --> 00:24:16.359
 way ahead of her culture,

00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:16.759
 way,

00:24:16.899 --> 00:24:17.839
 way ahead of her culture

00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:18.480
 and her time

00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:19.920
 and completely

00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:20.339
 and utterly

00:24:20.339 --> 00:24:21.420
 self-sacrificial

00:24:21.420 --> 00:24:22.700
 but now we see

00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:23.539
 a different side

00:24:23.539 --> 00:24:23.879
 to her,

00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:24.240
 don't we?

00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:24.640
 I mean she,

00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:25.160
 on one hand

00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:25.579
 she's still

00:24:25.579 --> 00:24:26.319
 being sacrificial,

00:24:26.460 --> 00:24:26.980
 she gives them

00:24:26.980 --> 00:24:28.299
 all a reality check

00:24:28.299 --> 00:24:29.339
 but look at

00:24:29.339 --> 00:24:30.299
 verse 13 again,

00:24:31.180 --> 00:24:32.579
 the last few verses,

00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:33.039
 words,

00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:34.039
 know my daughter,

00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:36.400
 it is exceedingly

00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:37.059
 bitter

00:24:37.059 --> 00:24:38.559
 to me

00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:40.900
 that the hand

00:24:40.900 --> 00:24:41.420
 of the Lord

00:24:41.420 --> 00:24:41.960
 has gone out

00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:42.680
 against me.

00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:47.799
 my life sucks

00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:50.039
 because the Lord

00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:50.620
 has done this

00:24:50.620 --> 00:24:51.039
 to me.

00:24:53.600 --> 00:24:54.180
 That's why

00:24:54.180 --> 00:24:55.160
 my life sucks.

00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:57.279
 The Lord

00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:58.019
 is the one

00:24:58.019 --> 00:25:00.299
 who's done this

00:25:00.299 --> 00:25:01.519
 and I am filled

00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:02.120
 with bitterness.

00:25:03.120 --> 00:25:03.920
 I'm filled

00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:04.480
 with bitterness.

00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:06.380
 It's a lament.

00:25:06.380 --> 00:25:08.980
 Now we're going

00:25:08.980 --> 00:25:09.740
 to return to this

00:25:09.740 --> 00:25:10.140
 in a second.

00:25:10.260 --> 00:25:10.900
 We need to see

00:25:10.900 --> 00:25:11.660
 how is it

00:25:11.660 --> 00:25:12.220
 that the women

00:25:12.220 --> 00:25:12.920
 respond

00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:15.100
 to this

00:25:15.100 --> 00:25:17.460
 lament,

00:25:18.340 --> 00:25:19.560
 her blaming God

00:25:19.560 --> 00:25:20.580
 and her desire

00:25:20.580 --> 00:25:21.220
 that they leave home.

00:25:21.340 --> 00:25:21.420
 Well,

00:25:21.460 --> 00:25:22.680
 verse 14 tells us,

00:25:23.280 --> 00:25:23.900
 then they lifted up

00:25:23.900 --> 00:25:24.400
 their voices

00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:25.320
 and wept again

00:25:25.320 --> 00:25:25.960
 and Orpah

00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:27.200
 kissed her mother-in-law

00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:28.100
 but Ruth

00:25:28.100 --> 00:25:29.460
 clung to her

00:25:29.460 --> 00:25:30.980
 and

00:25:30.980 --> 00:25:33.120
 she said

00:25:33.120 --> 00:25:34.460
 in verse 15,

00:25:34.660 --> 00:25:35.560
 Naomi says,

00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:35.839
 Ruth,

00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:36.879
 see your sister-in-law

00:25:36.879 --> 00:25:37.480
 has gone back

00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:38.119
 to her people

00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:39.559
 and to her gods.

00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:40.159
 Return

00:25:40.159 --> 00:25:41.559
 after your sister-in-law

00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:42.759
 and we'll pause

00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:43.359
 in a moment here.

00:25:43.700 --> 00:25:44.599
 We'll say in a moment

00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:45.679
 what it is

00:25:45.679 --> 00:25:46.039
 that

00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:49.279
 how Ruth's

00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:49.879
 going to respond

00:25:49.879 --> 00:25:50.139
 to this

00:25:50.139 --> 00:25:50.659
 but we see

00:25:50.659 --> 00:25:51.039
 that

00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:52.559
 Orpah

00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:53.419
 takes her advice

00:25:53.419 --> 00:25:53.839
 and leaves

00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:54.200
 and Ruth

00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:55.099
 clings to her

00:25:55.099 --> 00:25:56.500
 and this is also

00:25:56.500 --> 00:25:57.579
 a bit of a technical word.

00:25:57.700 --> 00:25:58.619
 It's a covenant word.

00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:01.079
 If you go back

00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:01.440
 and you read

00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:02.359
 the early part

00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:02.839
 of the book

00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:03.379
 of Genesis

00:26:03.379 --> 00:26:04.779
 in Genesis chapter 2

00:26:04.779 --> 00:26:05.980
 when Adam and Eve

00:26:05.980 --> 00:26:06.519
 in a sense

00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:07.839
 get married by God

00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:09.099
 it says

00:26:09.099 --> 00:26:09.799
 that a man

00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:10.420
 shall

00:26:10.420 --> 00:26:11.680
 cleave

00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:12.879
 or cling

00:26:12.879 --> 00:26:13.920
 or be connected

00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:14.759
 to his wife

00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:15.559
 and that's the exact

00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:16.420
 same word here.

00:26:17.220 --> 00:26:18.579
 It's not a sexual word.

00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:19.660
 It's not talking

00:26:19.660 --> 00:26:20.279
 about them entering

00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:21.700
 into a lesbian relationship.

00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:23.799
 It's

00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:25.059
 non-sexual

00:26:25.059 --> 00:26:26.740
 but it's not

00:26:26.740 --> 00:26:27.859
 that she physically

00:26:27.859 --> 00:26:28.839
 actually holds

00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:29.660
 on to her.

00:26:29.660 --> 00:26:31.040
 she might be

00:26:31.040 --> 00:26:31.640
 but it's more

00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:32.080
 than that.

00:26:32.220 --> 00:26:32.600
 She says

00:26:32.600 --> 00:26:33.019
 one moment

00:26:33.019 --> 00:26:35.259
 Orpah's leaving

00:26:35.259 --> 00:26:36.240
 I am actually

00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:36.880
 going to commit

00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:37.920
 myself to you

00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:39.259
 in a way

00:26:39.259 --> 00:26:40.279
 which is really

00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:41.040
 really deep.

00:26:42.900 --> 00:26:43.740
 I am going to

00:26:43.740 --> 00:26:44.980
 reject my mother's house

00:26:44.980 --> 00:26:45.320
 I'm going to

00:26:45.320 --> 00:26:46.320
 reject my tribal

00:26:46.320 --> 00:26:46.960
 backgrounds

00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:47.519
 I'm going to

00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:48.600
 reject my dreams

00:26:48.600 --> 00:26:49.660
 I'm going to

00:26:49.660 --> 00:26:50.680
 reject my hopes

00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:53.140
 and I want to

00:26:53.140 --> 00:26:53.920
 cling to you.

00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:57.300
 I mean

00:26:57.300 --> 00:26:58.600
 Ruth would have

00:26:58.600 --> 00:26:59.539
 had dreams

00:26:59.539 --> 00:26:59.940
 and hopes

00:26:59.940 --> 00:27:00.720
 and expectations

00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:01.380
 like that.

00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:02.600
 Many of us

00:27:02.600 --> 00:27:03.180
 who are here

00:27:03.180 --> 00:27:04.480
 have struggled

00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:05.080
 with the fact

00:27:05.080 --> 00:27:05.580
 that they'd love

00:27:05.580 --> 00:27:06.180
 to have children

00:27:06.180 --> 00:27:07.400
 and can't have them

00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:08.519
 or can only have one

00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:10.720
 and Ruth would have

00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:11.340
 had all those

00:27:11.340 --> 00:27:11.940
 desires

00:27:11.940 --> 00:27:15.100
 and now

00:27:15.100 --> 00:27:15.680
 she's going to

00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:16.480
 leave and go

00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:17.039
 to a foreign

00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:17.500
 people

00:27:17.500 --> 00:27:18.240
 to a foreign

00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:18.600
 land

00:27:18.600 --> 00:27:19.039
 she's going to

00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:19.700
 leave her God

00:27:19.700 --> 00:27:20.140
 she's going to

00:27:20.140 --> 00:27:20.800
 leave her religion

00:27:20.800 --> 00:27:21.400
 she's going to

00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:22.240
 leave her understanding

00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:22.800
 of the world

00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:24.579
 and she says

00:27:24.579 --> 00:27:24.940
 I want to

00:27:24.940 --> 00:27:25.700
 cling to an

00:27:25.700 --> 00:27:26.220
 old

00:27:26.220 --> 00:27:26.919
 bitter

00:27:26.919 --> 00:27:27.799
 woman

00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:28.759
 with no hope

00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:31.019
 and that's why

00:27:31.019 --> 00:27:32.059
 Naomi says

00:27:32.059 --> 00:27:32.879
 in verse 15

00:27:32.879 --> 00:27:33.700
 see your sister-in-law

00:27:33.700 --> 00:27:34.339
 has gone back

00:27:34.339 --> 00:27:34.940
 to her people

00:27:34.940 --> 00:27:35.720
 and to her God's

00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:36.480
 return after your

00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:36.960
 sister-in-law

00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:37.879
 and in these

00:27:37.879 --> 00:27:39.119
 verses 16 to 17

00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:39.720
 are some of the

00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:40.440
 most beautiful

00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:41.799
 words in the

00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:42.659
 entire Bible

00:27:42.659 --> 00:27:43.619
 they really are

00:27:43.619 --> 00:27:47.119
 and we'll look

00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:47.639
 at them again

00:27:47.639 --> 00:27:48.240
 more in a moment

00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:48.919
 but just listen

00:27:48.919 --> 00:27:49.440
 to these words

00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:50.099
 but Ruth said

00:27:50.099 --> 00:27:50.480
 to her

00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:51.480
 to Naomi

00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:52.960
 do not urge

00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:53.599
 me to leave

00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:53.839
 you

00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:55.120
 or to return

00:27:55.120 --> 00:27:55.819
 from following

00:27:55.819 --> 00:27:56.240
 you

00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:57.480
 for where

00:27:57.480 --> 00:27:58.160
 you go

00:27:58.160 --> 00:27:59.559
 I will go

00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:00.460
 and where

00:28:00.460 --> 00:28:01.160
 you lodge

00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:02.480
 I will lodge

00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:03.839
 your people

00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:05.039
 shall be my

00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:05.440
 people

00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:06.900
 and your God

00:28:06.900 --> 00:28:08.200
 my God

00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:10.000
 where you die

00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:11.620
 I will die

00:28:11.620 --> 00:28:13.200
 and there

00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:14.180
 will I be

00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:14.559
 buried

00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:16.099
 may the Lord

00:28:16.099 --> 00:28:17.860
 do so to me

00:28:17.860 --> 00:28:18.839
 and more also

00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:19.620
 if anything

00:28:19.619 --> 00:28:20.699
 but death

00:28:20.699 --> 00:28:22.299
 parts me

00:28:22.299 --> 00:28:23.439
 from you

00:28:23.439 --> 00:28:27.299
 and when Naomi

00:28:27.299 --> 00:28:28.319
 saw that she

00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:29.099
 was determined

00:28:29.099 --> 00:28:29.819
 to go with her

00:28:29.819 --> 00:28:30.739
 she said no more

00:28:30.739 --> 00:28:32.000
 it's a very

00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:32.779
 very powerful

00:28:32.779 --> 00:28:33.179
 thing

00:28:33.179 --> 00:28:33.779
 look at those

00:28:33.779 --> 00:28:34.199
 just those

00:28:34.199 --> 00:28:34.859
 verses again

00:28:34.859 --> 00:28:35.179
 we're going to

00:28:35.179 --> 00:28:35.639
 talk about it

00:28:35.639 --> 00:28:35.959
 a little bit

00:28:35.959 --> 00:28:36.439
 more in a moment

00:28:36.439 --> 00:28:36.839
 the full

00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:37.639
 implication of it

00:28:37.639 --> 00:28:38.919
 but Ruth says

00:28:38.919 --> 00:28:39.659
 do not urge

00:28:39.659 --> 00:28:39.799
 me

00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:40.459
 verse 16

00:28:40.459 --> 00:28:41.059
 to leave you

00:28:41.059 --> 00:28:41.599
 or to return

00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:42.539
 from following you

00:28:42.539 --> 00:28:43.639
 for where you

00:28:43.639 --> 00:28:44.379
 go I will go

00:28:44.379 --> 00:28:44.779
 and where you

00:28:44.779 --> 00:28:45.439
 lodge I will

00:28:45.439 --> 00:28:45.919
 lodge

00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:47.259
 and if you

00:28:47.259 --> 00:28:47.820
 look at it

00:28:47.820 --> 00:28:48.400
 later on

00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:49.259
 in your own

00:28:49.259 --> 00:28:49.660
 Bibles

00:28:49.660 --> 00:28:50.120
 and you write

00:28:50.120 --> 00:28:50.360
 it out

00:28:50.360 --> 00:28:50.960
 there's five

00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:51.580
 sentences

00:28:51.580 --> 00:28:52.279
 and the five

00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:52.840
 sentences

00:28:52.840 --> 00:28:53.500
 it actually

00:28:53.500 --> 00:28:54.100
 has a particular

00:28:54.100 --> 00:28:54.900
 form in the

00:28:54.900 --> 00:28:55.840
 original language

00:28:55.840 --> 00:28:58.279
 and for grammar

00:28:58.279 --> 00:28:59.060
 geeks it goes

00:28:59.060 --> 00:29:00.180
 A B C

00:29:00.180 --> 00:29:01.259
 then B

00:29:01.259 --> 00:29:01.840
 with a little

00:29:01.840 --> 00:29:02.840
 you know

00:29:02.840 --> 00:29:03.800
 apostrophe

00:29:03.800 --> 00:29:04.180
 and C

00:29:04.180 --> 00:29:04.940
 with an apostrophe

00:29:04.940 --> 00:29:05.360
 and the very

00:29:05.360 --> 00:29:06.080
 very center

00:29:06.080 --> 00:29:06.539
 of this

00:29:06.539 --> 00:29:08.700
 powerful phrase

00:29:08.700 --> 00:29:09.580
 is your people

00:29:09.580 --> 00:29:10.200
 shall be my

00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:10.560
 people

00:29:10.560 --> 00:29:11.180
 your God

00:29:11.180 --> 00:29:11.800
 my God

00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:13.319
 and then

00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:14.559
 she emphasizes

00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:15.159
 this

00:29:15.159 --> 00:29:15.740
 that she's

00:29:15.740 --> 00:29:16.359
 completely

00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:16.960
 and utterly

00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:18.139
 casting herself

00:29:18.139 --> 00:29:19.019
 upon God

00:29:19.019 --> 00:29:20.639
 by emphasizing

00:29:20.639 --> 00:29:21.279
 that when you

00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:21.700
 die

00:29:21.700 --> 00:29:22.319
 I'm not going

00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:23.019
 to go back

00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:23.859
 to Moab

00:29:23.859 --> 00:29:25.419
 when you die

00:29:25.419 --> 00:29:25.919
 I'm going to

00:29:25.919 --> 00:29:26.619
 stay where you

00:29:26.619 --> 00:29:26.799
 are

00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:27.200
 I'm going to

00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:27.700
 stay with

00:29:27.700 --> 00:29:28.200
 your people

00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:28.680
 I'm going to

00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:29.220
 stay with

00:29:29.220 --> 00:29:29.859
 your God

00:29:29.859 --> 00:29:30.960
 even after

00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:31.559
 you die

00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:32.519
 I have no

00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:33.619
 exit plan

00:29:33.619 --> 00:29:37.339
 I have no

00:29:37.339 --> 00:29:38.180
 plan B

00:29:38.180 --> 00:29:39.960
 even after

00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:40.559
 you die

00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:41.720
 I will stay

00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:42.740
 there

00:29:42.740 --> 00:29:44.140
 and then

00:29:44.140 --> 00:29:45.039
 in the original

00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:45.559
 language

00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:46.720
 it's obvious

00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:47.400
 that she in a

00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:47.680
 sense

00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:49.299
 invokes a

00:29:49.299 --> 00:29:49.700
 covenant

00:29:49.700 --> 00:29:50.319
 she in a

00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:50.519
 sense

00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:50.819
 says

00:29:50.819 --> 00:29:51.740
 in a sense

00:29:51.740 --> 00:29:52.440
 if I

00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:53.240
 depart from

00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:53.460
 this

00:29:53.460 --> 00:29:53.799
 well

00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:54.660
 God

00:29:54.660 --> 00:29:55.000
 should do

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:55.279
 whatever

00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:55.799
 he should

00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:56.460
 the Lord

00:29:56.460 --> 00:29:56.759
 should do

00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:57.000
 whatever

00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:57.319
 he needs

00:29:57.319 --> 00:29:57.559
 to do

00:29:57.559 --> 00:29:57.900
 with me

00:29:57.900 --> 00:29:58.259
 if I

00:29:58.259 --> 00:29:58.620
 if I

00:29:58.620 --> 00:29:59.039
 abandon

00:29:59.039 --> 00:29:59.319
 this

00:29:59.319 --> 00:29:59.640
 plan

00:29:59.640 --> 00:29:59.980
 I will

00:29:59.980 --> 00:30:00.380
 never

00:30:00.380 --> 00:30:01.339
 abandon

00:30:01.339 --> 00:30:02.299
 or forsake

00:30:02.299 --> 00:30:02.940
 or leave

00:30:02.940 --> 00:30:03.160
 you

00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:03.600
 I will

00:30:03.600 --> 00:30:03.960
 never

00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:04.220
 do

00:30:04.220 --> 00:30:04.519
 that

00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:05.940
 I have

00:30:05.940 --> 00:30:06.140
 no

00:30:06.140 --> 00:30:06.460
 exit

00:30:06.460 --> 00:30:06.799
 plan

00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:09.559
 it's

00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:09.900
 almost

00:30:09.900 --> 00:30:10.480
 unheard

00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:10.799
 of

00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:11.259

00:30:11.259 --> 00:30:11.400
 year

00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:12.580
 1100 BC

00:30:12.580 --> 00:30:13.560
 this is

00:30:13.560 --> 00:30:13.759
 a

00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:14.440
 conversion

00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:15.720
 it's

00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:16.080
 unheard

00:30:16.080 --> 00:30:16.220
 of

00:30:16.220 --> 00:30:16.320
 in

00:30:16.320 --> 00:30:17.220
 1100 BC

00:30:17.220 --> 00:30:19.740
 unheard

00:30:19.740 --> 00:30:20.100
 of

00:30:20.100 --> 00:30:23.620
 well

00:30:23.620 --> 00:30:23.920
 does this

00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:24.380
 comfort

00:30:24.380 --> 00:30:24.840
 Naomi

00:30:24.840 --> 00:30:25.280
 does it

00:30:25.280 --> 00:30:25.600
 sort of

00:30:25.600 --> 00:30:26.100
 bring her

00:30:26.100 --> 00:30:26.400
 some

00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:26.900
 relief

00:30:26.900 --> 00:30:27.420
 between

00:30:27.420 --> 00:30:27.680
 her

00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:27.960
 hopes

00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:28.120
 and

00:30:28.120 --> 00:30:28.780
 expectations

00:30:28.780 --> 00:30:29.080
 and

00:30:29.080 --> 00:30:29.200
 the

00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:29.600
 reality

00:30:29.600 --> 00:30:29.920
 is it

00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:30.160
 some

00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:30.500
 hope

00:30:30.500 --> 00:30:30.800
 for her

00:30:30.800 --> 00:30:30.980
 to

00:30:30.980 --> 00:30:31.240
 live

00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:31.380
 in

00:30:31.380 --> 00:30:31.540
 that

00:30:31.540 --> 00:30:31.800
 in

00:30:31.800 --> 00:30:32.100
 between

00:30:32.100 --> 00:30:32.480
 area

00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:32.780
 between

00:30:32.780 --> 00:30:33.080
 these

00:30:33.080 --> 00:30:33.320
 two

00:30:33.320 --> 00:30:33.720
 things

00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:34.480
 does it

00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:34.860
 comfort

00:30:34.860 --> 00:30:35.080
 her

00:30:35.080 --> 00:30:35.340
 from

00:30:35.340 --> 00:30:35.480
 her

00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:36.140
 accusations

00:30:36.140 --> 00:30:36.420
 and

00:30:36.420 --> 00:30:36.560
 her

00:30:36.560 --> 00:30:36.880
 bitterness

00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:37.259
 and her

00:30:37.259 --> 00:30:37.640
 complaints

00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:37.960
 against

00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:38.220
 God

00:30:38.220 --> 00:30:38.400
 no

00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:38.880
 actually

00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:41.339
 Naomi

00:30:41.339 --> 00:30:41.920
 accepts

00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:42.160
 what

00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:42.380
 Ruth

00:30:42.380 --> 00:30:42.740
 says

00:30:42.740 --> 00:30:43.019
 but

00:30:43.019 --> 00:30:43.380
 the

00:30:43.380 --> 00:30:43.700
 bitterness

00:30:43.700 --> 00:30:45.620
 and the

00:30:45.620 --> 00:30:45.980
 hardness

00:30:45.980 --> 00:30:46.420
 of living

00:30:46.420 --> 00:30:46.680
 in the

00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:46.940
 desert

00:30:46.940 --> 00:30:47.600
 continues

00:30:47.600 --> 00:30:48.200
 look at

00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:48.339
 what

00:30:48.339 --> 00:30:48.720
 happens

00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:48.880
 in

00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:49.100
 verse

00:30:49.100 --> 00:30:49.640
 19

00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:51.339
 so the

00:30:51.339 --> 00:30:51.559
 two

00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:51.819
 of them

00:30:51.819 --> 00:30:52.259
 went on

00:30:52.259 --> 00:30:52.680
 until they

00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:53.059
 come to

00:30:53.059 --> 00:30:53.620
 Bethlehem

00:30:53.619 --> 00:30:54.719
 and when

00:30:54.719 --> 00:30:54.899
 they

00:30:54.899 --> 00:30:55.399
 came to

00:30:55.399 --> 00:30:55.839
 Bethlehem

00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:55.979
 the

00:30:55.979 --> 00:30:56.179
 whole

00:30:56.179 --> 00:30:56.479
 town

00:30:56.479 --> 00:30:56.699
 was

00:30:56.699 --> 00:30:57.199
 stirred

00:30:57.199 --> 00:30:58.279
 because

00:30:58.279 --> 00:30:58.519
 of

00:30:58.519 --> 00:30:58.679
 them

00:30:58.679 --> 00:30:58.859
 it's

00:30:58.859 --> 00:30:59.000
 the

00:30:59.000 --> 00:30:59.299
 talk

00:30:59.299 --> 00:30:59.419
 of

00:30:59.419 --> 00:30:59.539
 the

00:30:59.539 --> 00:30:59.839
 town

00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:00.759
 and the

00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:00.939
 woman

00:31:00.939 --> 00:31:01.259
 said

00:31:01.259 --> 00:31:01.839
 is this

00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:02.259
 Naomi

00:31:02.259 --> 00:31:02.659
 and the

00:31:02.659 --> 00:31:02.919
 reason

00:31:02.919 --> 00:31:03.239
 in the

00:31:03.239 --> 00:31:03.459
 original

00:31:03.459 --> 00:31:03.819
 language

00:31:03.819 --> 00:31:04.099
 the reason

00:31:04.099 --> 00:31:04.319
 they have

00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:04.559
 to say

00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:04.779
 it is

00:31:04.779 --> 00:31:05.039
 this

00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:05.899
 the

00:31:05.899 --> 00:31:06.299
 ten

00:31:06.299 --> 00:31:06.679
 plus

00:31:06.679 --> 00:31:06.959
 years

00:31:06.959 --> 00:31:07.319
 she's

00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:07.500
 been

00:31:07.500 --> 00:31:07.839
 gone

00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:08.059

 not

00:31:08.419 --> 00:31:08.659
 been

00:31:08.659 --> 00:31:09.119
 kind

00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:09.359
 to

00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:09.599
 her

00:34:41.700 --> 00:34:42.300
 no

00:34:42.300 --> 00:34:43.940

00:34:43.940 --> 00:34:44.200
 it

00:34:44.200 --> 00:34:44.460
 isn't

00:34:44.460 --> 00:34:44.740
 as if

00:34:44.740 --> 00:34:44.940
 God

00:34:44.940 --> 00:34:45.160
 says

00:34:45.160 --> 00:34:45.600
 whoa

00:34:45.600 --> 00:34:47.300
 boy

00:34:47.300 --> 00:34:47.460
 I

00:34:47.460 --> 00:34:47.620
 better

00:34:47.620 --> 00:34:47.880
 make

00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:48.040
 sure

00:34:48.040 --> 00:34:48.300
 nobody

00:34:48.300 --> 00:34:48.500
 ever

00:34:48.500 --> 00:34:48.800
 finds

00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:49.000
 out

00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:49.240
 about

00:34:49.240 --> 00:34:49.520
 these

00:34:49.520 --> 00:34:50.080
 complaints

00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:50.980
 for

00:34:50.980 --> 00:34:51.179
 those

00:34:51.179 --> 00:34:51.319
 of

00:34:51.319 --> 00:34:51.460
 us

00:34:51.460 --> 00:34:51.619
 with

00:34:51.619 --> 00:34:51.739
 a

 high

00:34:51.980 --> 00:34:52.159

 the

00:34:52.420 --> 00:34:52.819
 Bible

00:34:52.819 --> 00:34:55.480
 and

00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:55.639
 I

00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:55.860
 have

00:34:55.860 --> 00:34:55.960
 a

00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:56.099
 high

00:34:56.099 --> 00:34:56.239

00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:56.340

00:34:56.420 --> 00:34:56.679
 Bible

00:34:56.679 --> 00:34:57.000
 because

00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:57.360
 Jesus

00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:57.659
 has

00:34:57.659 --> 00:34:57.779
 a

00:34:57.779 --> 00:34:57.960
 high

00:34:58.299 --> 00:34:58.539
 Bible

00:34:58.539 --> 00:34:58.799
 that's

00:34:58.799 --> 00:34:58.920
 why

00:34:58.920 --> 00:34:59.039
 I

00:34:59.039 --> 00:34:59.159
 have

00:34:59.159 --> 00:34:59.259
 a

00:34:59.739 --> 00:35:00.099
 Bible

00:35:00.099 --> 00:35:01.619
 even

00:35:01.619 --> 00:35:01.799
 though

00:35:01.799 --> 00:35:02.099
 in

00:35:02.099 --> 00:35:02.880
 contemporary

00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:03.380
 Canadian

00:35:03.380 --> 00:35:03.880
 culture

00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:04.299
 it makes

00:35:04.299 --> 00:35:04.480
 me

00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:04.719
 sound

00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:04.940
 like

00:35:04.940 --> 00:35:05.159
 I'm

00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:05.400
 a

00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:06.139
 like

00:35:06.139 --> 00:35:06.319
 a

00:35:06.319 --> 00:35:06.619
 knuckle

00:35:06.619 --> 00:35:07.340
 dragging

00:35:07.340 --> 00:35:09.199
 fundamentalist

00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:09.639
 with

00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:10.179
 an IQ

00:35:10.179 --> 00:35:10.619
 of a

00:35:10.619 --> 00:35:11.019
 turnip

00:35:11.019 --> 00:35:13.619
 I

00:35:13.619 --> 00:35:14.819
 believe

00:35:14.819 --> 00:35:15.139
 the

00:35:15.139 --> 00:35:15.779
 Bible

00:35:15.779 --> 00:35:16.119
 is

00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:16.819
 God's

00:35:16.819 --> 00:35:16.980
 word

00:35:16.980 --> 00:35:17.199
 written

00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:17.500
 because

00:35:17.500 --> 00:35:17.799
 that's

00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:17.960
 what

00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:18.260
 Jesus

00:35:18.260 --> 00:35:18.940
 tells

00:35:18.940 --> 00:35:19.080
 me

00:35:19.080 --> 00:35:19.220
 to

00:35:19.220 --> 00:35:19.460
 believe

00:35:19.460 --> 00:35:19.700
 and

00:35:19.700 --> 00:35:20.000
 he's

00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:20.100
 the

00:35:20.100 --> 00:35:20.220
 one

00:35:20.220 --> 00:35:20.360
 who

00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:20.700
 conquered

00:35:20.700 --> 00:35:20.960
 sin

00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:21.080
 and

00:35:21.080 --> 00:35:21.280
 death

00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:21.440
 and

00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:21.680
 rose

00:35:21.680 --> 00:35:23.300
 triumphant

00:35:23.300 --> 00:35:24.240
 and so

00:35:24.240 --> 00:35:24.420
 I

00:35:24.420 --> 00:35:24.800
 believe

00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:25.080
 him

00:35:25.080 --> 00:35:26.180
 but

00:35:26.180 --> 00:35:26.460
 if

00:35:26.460 --> 00:35:26.519
 you

00:35:26.519 --> 00:35:26.620
 have

00:35:26.620 --> 00:35:26.720
 a

00:35:26.720 --> 00:35:26.900
 high

00:35:26.900 --> 00:35:27.019
 view

00:35:27.019 --> 00:35:27.120
 of

00:35:27.120 --> 00:35:27.220
 the

00:35:27.220 --> 00:35:27.560
 Bible

00:35:27.560 --> 00:35:27.860
 we

00:35:27.860 --> 00:35:28.140
 believe

00:35:28.140 --> 00:35:28.300
 that

00:35:28.300 --> 00:35:28.720
 ultimately

00:35:28.720 --> 00:35:29.039
 God

00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:29.180
 is

00:35:29.180 --> 00:35:29.320
 the

00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:29.640
 author

00:35:29.640 --> 00:35:29.840
 of

00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:30.039
 this

00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:30.480
 passage

00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:30.700
 of

00:35:30.700 --> 00:35:31.039
 scriptures

00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:31.320
 that

00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:31.560
 means

00:35:31.560 --> 00:35:32.000
 God

00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:32.560
 on

00:35:32.560 --> 00:35:33.360
 purpose

00:35:33.360 --> 00:35:35.460
 had

00:35:35.460 --> 00:35:35.600
 it

00:35:35.600 --> 00:35:36.100
 recorded

00:35:36.100 --> 00:35:37.440
 isn't

00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:37.580
 that

00:35:37.580 --> 00:35:38.400
 astounding

00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:38.840
 for a

00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:39.100
 second

00:35:39.100 --> 00:35:39.900
 just

00:35:39.900 --> 00:35:40.320
 think

00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:40.600
 about

00:35:40.600 --> 00:35:40.960
 that

00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:41.760
 God

00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:42.220
 chose

00:35:42.220 --> 00:35:42.400
 to

00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:42.600
 have

00:35:42.600 --> 00:35:42.860
 this

00:35:42.860 --> 00:35:43.140
 written

00:35:43.140 --> 00:35:43.640
 so

00:35:43.640 --> 00:35:43.780
 that

00:35:43.780 --> 00:35:43.880
 we

00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:44.059
 would

00:35:44.059 --> 00:35:44.280
 hear

00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:44.500
 it

00:35:44.500 --> 00:35:46.700
 it

00:35:46.700 --> 00:35:46.960
 wasn't

00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:47.200
 because

00:35:47.200 --> 00:35:47.360
 he

00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:47.720
 screwed

00:35:47.720 --> 00:35:48.160
 up

00:35:48.160 --> 00:35:49.019
 and

00:35:49.019 --> 00:35:49.260
 said

00:35:49.260 --> 00:35:49.599
 oh

00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:50.500
 gosh

00:35:50.500 --> 00:35:50.619
 I

00:35:50.619 --> 00:35:50.760
 meant

00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:50.860
 to

00:35:50.860 --> 00:35:50.980
 have

00:35:50.980 --> 00:35:51.160
 that

00:35:51.160 --> 00:35:51.660
 edited

00:35:51.660 --> 00:35:51.980
 out

00:35:51.980 --> 00:35:52.920
 how'd

00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:53.059
 that

00:35:53.059 --> 00:35:53.240
 get

00:35:53.240 --> 00:35:53.380
 in

00:35:53.380 --> 00:35:53.599
 there

00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:54.380
 no

00:35:54.380 --> 00:35:55.039
 he

00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:55.500
 intended

00:35:55.500 --> 00:35:55.820
 it

00:35:55.820 --> 00:35:56.400
 to be

00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:56.559
 in

00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:56.760
 there

00:35:56.760 --> 00:35:57.019
 for

00:35:57.019 --> 00:35:57.200
 you

00:35:57.200 --> 00:35:57.320

 can

00:36:41.299 --> 00:36:41.599
 that's

00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:41.759

00:37:58.199 --> 00:37:58.420
 me

00:37:58.420 --> 00:37:59.980
 and

00:37:59.980 --> 00:38:00.099
 in

00:38:00.099 --> 00:38:00.299
 terms

00:38:00.299 --> 00:38:00.440
 of

00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:00.599
 us

00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:00.839
 dealing

00:38:00.839 --> 00:38:01.019
 with

00:38:01.019 --> 00:38:01.239
 each

00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:01.480
 other

00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:01.739
 I

00:38:01.739 --> 00:38:01.839
 mean

00:38:01.839 --> 00:38:01.940
 the

00:38:01.940 --> 00:38:02.159
 fact

00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:02.279
 of

00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:03.360
 God

00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:04.580
 hasn't

00:38:04.580 --> 00:38:04.920
 told

00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:05.180
 you

00:38:05.180 --> 00:38:05.540
 why

00:38:05.540 --> 00:38:06.680
 somebody

00:38:06.680 --> 00:38:06.940
 who

00:38:06.940 --> 00:38:07.140
 wanted

00:38:07.140 --> 00:38:07.320
 to

00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:07.480
 have

00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:07.620
 a

00:38:07.620 --> 00:38:08.040
 job

00:38:08.040 --> 00:38:09.400
 and

00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:09.560
 why

00:38:09.560 --> 00:38:09.680
 they

00:38:09.680 --> 00:38:09.860
 got

00:38:09.860 --> 00:38:10.140
 laid

00:38:10.140 --> 00:38:10.480
 off

00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:10.700
 or

00:38:10.700 --> 00:38:11.780
 somebody

00:38:11.780 --> 00:38:11.980
 who

00:38:11.980 --> 00:38:12.180
 wanted

00:38:12.180 --> 00:38:12.320
 to

00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:12.480
 have

00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:12.600
 a

00:38:12.600 --> 00:38:13.140
 relationship

00:38:13.140 --> 00:38:13.440
 and

00:38:13.440 --> 00:38:13.600
 here

00:38:13.600 --> 00:38:13.820
 they've

00:38:13.820 --> 00:38:14.019
 reached

00:38:14.019 --> 00:38:14.160
 a

00:38:14.160 --> 00:38:14.340
 certain

00:38:14.340 --> 00:38:14.580
 age

00:38:14.580 --> 00:38:14.680
 and

00:38:14.680 --> 00:38:14.800
 that

00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:15.040
 never

00:38:15.040 --> 00:38:15.380
 happened

00:38:15.380 --> 00:38:15.519
 or

00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:15.780
 whatever

00:38:15.780 --> 00:38:15.960
 it

00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:16.320
 is

00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:17.280
 God

00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:17.580
 hasn't

00:38:17.580 --> 00:38:17.760
 made

00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:17.900
 you

00:38:17.900 --> 00:38:18.300
 God

00:38:18.300 --> 00:38:19.920
 big

00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:20.360
 news

00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:21.519
 he

00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:21.700
 hasn't

00:38:21.700 --> 00:38:21.840
 made

00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:21.980
 me

00:38:21.980 --> 00:38:22.320
 God

00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:22.580
 I

00:38:22.580 --> 00:38:22.700
 don't

00:38:22.700 --> 00:38:22.900
 know

00:38:22.900 --> 00:38:24.200
 and

00:38:24.200 --> 00:38:24.380
 a lot

00:38:24.380 --> 00:38:24.460
 of

00:38:24.460 --> 00:38:24.640
 times

00:38:24.640 --> 00:38:24.780
 all

00:38:24.780 --> 00:38:24.920
 you

00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:25.040
 can

00:38:25.040 --> 00:38:25.220
 do

00:38:25.220 --> 00:38:25.440
 this

00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:25.760
 text

00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:25.920
 is

00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:26.060
 saying

00:38:26.060 --> 00:38:26.240
 it's

00:38:26.240 --> 00:38:26.720
 alright

00:38:26.720 --> 00:38:27.120
 to

00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:27.440
 lament

00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:27.659
 and

00:38:27.659 --> 00:38:28.000
 complain

00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:28.179
 to

00:38:28.179 --> 00:38:28.460
 God

00:38:28.460 --> 00:38:29.960
 and

00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:30.139
 for

00:38:30.139 --> 00:38:30.319
 us

00:38:30.319 --> 00:38:30.480
 we

00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:30.599
 don't

00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:30.819
 have

00:38:30.819 --> 00:38:30.980
 to

00:38:30.980 --> 00:38:31.699
 explain

00:38:31.699 --> 00:38:32.679
 we

00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:32.799
 don't

00:38:32.799 --> 00:38:32.980
 have

00:38:32.980 --> 00:38:33.059
 to

00:38:33.059 --> 00:38:33.219
 be

00:38:33.219 --> 00:38:33.639
 frightened

00:38:33.639 --> 00:38:35.039
 but

00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:35.319
 maybe

00:38:35.319 --> 00:38:35.599
 that's

00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:35.719
 why

00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:35.839
 we

00:38:35.839 --> 00:38:35.980
 had

00:38:35.980 --> 00:38:36.119
 the

00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:36.440
 Romans

00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:36.819
 text

00:38:36.819 --> 00:38:37.319
 read

00:38:37.319 --> 00:38:38.119
 weep

00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:38.279
 with

00:38:38.279 --> 00:38:38.559
 those

00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:38.719
 who

00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:39.480
 weep

00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:40.199
 rejoice

00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:40.460
 with

00:38:40.460 --> 00:38:40.699
 those

00:38:40.699 --> 00:38:40.839
 who

00:38:40.839 --> 00:38:41.299
 rejoice

00:38:41.299 --> 00:38:41.679
 it's

00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:41.759
 in

00:38:41.759 --> 00:38:41.859
 the

00:38:41.859 --> 00:38:42.199
 Bible

00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:44.440
 and

00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:44.619
 that's

00:38:44.619 --> 00:38:44.759
 all

00:38:44.759 --> 00:38:45.380
 sometimes

00:38:45.380 --> 00:38:45.759
 that's

00:38:45.759 --> 00:38:45.960
 all

00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:46.139
 we

00:38:46.139 --> 00:38:46.319
 can

00:38:46.319 --> 00:38:46.659
 do

00:38:46.659 --> 00:38:49.440
 just

00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:49.639
 have

00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:49.739
 to

00:38:49.739 --> 00:38:49.920
 be

00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:50.279
 sometimes

00:38:50.279 --> 00:38:50.759
 living

00:38:50.759 --> 00:38:50.960
 our

00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:51.299
 life

00:38:51.299 --> 00:38:51.659
 we're

00:38:51.659 --> 00:38:51.900
 in a

00:38:51.900 --> 00:38:52.239
 desert

00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:52.639
 and

00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:52.759
 we're

00:38:52.759 --> 00:38:52.960
 in a

00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:53.199
 desert

00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:53.440
 for

00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:53.599
 a

00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:53.839
 long

00:38:57.119 --> 00:38:57.259
 what

00:38:57.259 --> 00:38:57.420
 she

00:38:57.420 --> 00:38:57.859
 says

00:38:57.859 --> 00:38:58.500
 and

00:38:58.500 --> 00:38:58.679
 it's

00:38:58.679 --> 00:38:58.900
 not

00:38:58.900 --> 00:38:59.359
 saying

00:38:59.359 --> 00:38:59.980
 that

00:38:59.980 --> 00:39:01.519
 all

00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:01.719
 of her

00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:02.219
 interpretation

00:39:02.219 --> 00:39:02.420
 is

00:39:02.420 --> 00:39:02.759
 correct

00:39:02.759 --> 00:39:03.460
 but

00:39:03.460 --> 00:39:03.819
 it

00:39:03.819 --> 00:39:04.619
 is

00:39:04.619 --> 00:39:04.920
 really

00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:05.359
 modeling

00:39:05.359 --> 00:39:05.659
 in a

00:39:05.659 --> 00:39:05.880
 very

00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:06.480
 powerful

00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:06.980
 way

00:39:06.980 --> 00:39:07.219
 that

00:39:07.219 --> 00:39:07.460
 you

00:39:07.460 --> 00:39:07.719
 just

00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:07.920
 be

00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:08.339
 honest

00:39:08.339 --> 00:39:11.480
 but

00:39:11.480 --> 00:39:13.819
 some

00:39:13.819 --> 00:39:14.019
 of us

00:39:14.019 --> 00:39:14.179
 might

00:39:14.179 --> 00:39:14.299
 be

00:39:14.299 --> 00:39:14.440
 saying

00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:14.619
 George

00:39:14.619 --> 00:39:14.779
 I'm

00:39:14.779 --> 00:39:14.960
 a little

00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:15.159
 bit

00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:15.599
 puzzled

00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:15.779
 by

00:39:15.779 --> 00:39:15.900
 that

00:39:15.900 --> 00:39:16.579
 was

00:39:16.579 --> 00:39:16.880
 really

00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:17.380
 interesting

00:39:17.380 --> 00:39:19.119
 I have

00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:19.299
 to

00:39:19.299 --> 00:39:19.920
 confess

00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:21.460
 it's

00:39:21.460 --> 00:39:21.639
 a bit

00:39:21.639 --> 00:39:21.839
 of a

00:39:21.839 --> 00:39:22.259
 surprise

00:39:22.259 --> 00:39:22.599
 to me

00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:22.900
 because

00:39:22.900 --> 00:39:23.380
 usually

00:39:23.380 --> 00:39:23.619
 I

00:39:23.619 --> 00:39:23.859
 think

00:39:23.859 --> 00:39:24.019
 of

00:39:24.019 --> 00:39:24.440
 Christians

00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:24.699
 I

00:39:24.699 --> 00:39:24.920
 think

00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:25.079
 they

00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:25.259
 have

00:39:25.259 --> 00:39:25.339
 to

00:39:25.339 --> 00:39:25.460
 be

00:39:25.460 --> 00:39:25.679
 just

00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:26.219
 accepting

00:39:26.219 --> 00:39:26.619
 or

00:39:26.619 --> 00:39:27.159
 don't

00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:27.359
 really

00:39:27.359 --> 00:39:27.539
 want

00:39:27.539 --> 00:39:27.659
 to

00:39:27.659 --> 00:39:27.920
 talk

00:39:27.920 --> 00:39:28.099
 about

00:39:28.099 --> 00:39:28.299
 when

00:39:28.299 --> 00:39:28.639
 things

00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:28.920
 go

00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:29.599
 terribly

00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:30.059
 bad

00:39:30.059 --> 00:39:30.219
 in

00:39:30.219 --> 00:39:30.359
 their

00:39:30.359 --> 00:39:30.819
 life

00:39:30.819 --> 00:39:31.059
 and

00:39:31.059 --> 00:39:31.880
 Christians

00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:32.159
 just

00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:32.339
 think

00:39:32.339 --> 00:39:32.519
 they're

00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:33.079
 successful

00:39:33.079 --> 00:39:33.299
 and

00:39:33.299 --> 00:39:33.420
 they

00:39:33.420 --> 00:39:33.579
 think

00:39:33.579 --> 00:39:33.779
 their

00:39:33.779 --> 00:39:34.039
 poop

00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:34.380
 smells

00:39:34.380 --> 00:39:34.619
 better

00:39:34.619 --> 00:39:34.799
 than

00:39:34.799 --> 00:39:34.980
 other

00:39:34.980 --> 00:39:35.440
 people's
