00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.080
 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

00:00:05.060 --> 00:00:07.440
 Now the earth was formless and empty,

00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:10.400
 darkness was over the surface of the deep,

00:00:10.939 --> 00:00:14.839
 and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

00:00:15.620 --> 00:00:18.280
 And God said, let there be light.

00:00:18.980 --> 00:00:20.440
 And there was light.

00:00:21.219 --> 00:00:23.000
 God saw that the light was good,

00:00:23.140 --> 00:00:25.699
 and he separated the light from the darkness.

00:00:26.339 --> 00:00:28.120
 God called the light day,

00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:30.679
 and the darkness he called night.

00:00:31.080 --> 00:00:34.560
 And there was evening, and there was morning the first day.

00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:37.500
 Then go to verse 26,

00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:43.840
 which comes to the last part of the creation account.

00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:46.260
 Verse 26, then God said,

00:00:46.760 --> 00:00:49.700
 let us make man in our image, in our likeness,

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:52.159
 and let them rule over the fish of the sea,

00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.760
 and the birds of the air, over the livestock,

00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:59.420
 over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.

00:01:00.199 --> 00:01:02.739
 So God created man in his own image,

00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:05.219
 in the image of God he created him,

00:01:05.299 --> 00:01:08.439
 male and female he created them.

00:01:09.140 --> 00:01:10.900
 God blessed them and said to them,

00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:13.280
 be fruitful and increase in number,

00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:15.200
 fill the earth and subdue it,

00:01:15.579 --> 00:01:17.819
 rule over the fish of the sea,

00:01:17.900 --> 00:01:19.060
 and the birds of the air,

00:01:19.060 --> 00:01:22.260
 and over every living creature that moves on the ground.

00:01:23.180 --> 00:01:23.980
 Then God said,

00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:27.379
 I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth,

00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.400
 and every tree that has fruit with seed in it,

00:01:30.700 --> 00:01:32.719
 they will be yours for food.

00:01:33.540 --> 00:01:35.300
 And to all the beasts of the earth,

00:01:35.379 --> 00:01:36.640
 and all the birds of the air,

00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:38.599
 and all the creatures that move on the ground,

00:01:38.980 --> 00:01:41.260
 everything that has breath of life in it,

00:01:41.579 --> 00:01:43.900
 I give every green plant for food.

00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:45.719
 And it was so.

00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.079
 And God saw all that he had made,

00:01:48.219 --> 00:01:50.120
 and it was very good.

00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:51.620
 And there was evening,

00:01:51.980 --> 00:01:52.900
 and there was morning,

00:01:53.179 --> 00:01:54.219
 the sixth day.

00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:56.539
 Thus the heavens and the earth

00:01:56.539 --> 00:02:00.280
 were completed in all their vast array.

00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:02.000
 By the seventh day,

00:02:02.099 --> 00:02:04.200
 God had finished the work he had been doing,

00:02:04.739 --> 00:02:06.099
 and so on the seventh day,

00:02:06.219 --> 00:02:08.079
 he rested from all his work.

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:10.539
 And God blessed the seventh day,

00:02:10.939 --> 00:02:11.960
 and made it holy,

00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:15.479
 because on it he rested from all the work of creating,

00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:17.000
 that he had done.

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:18.479
 So,

00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:21.879
 Michael is going to come and speak,

00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:23.639
 from us,

00:02:24.259 --> 00:02:26.340
 from this passage.

00:02:26.699 --> 00:02:26.719
 So,

00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:28.840
 I'm going to pray for him,

00:02:28.979 --> 00:02:30.079
 before he comes.

00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:31.079
 Let's pray.

00:02:31.780 --> 00:02:32.340
 Father,

00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:33.539
 we thank you for

00:02:33.539 --> 00:02:35.300
 your word to us.

00:02:35.419 --> 00:02:36.479
 We thank you for this

00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:37.979
 amazing account

00:02:37.979 --> 00:02:40.119
 of the beginning,

00:02:40.119 --> 00:02:42.299
 of your creation,

00:02:42.899 --> 00:02:45.000
 of you speaking your word,

00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:48.139
 and bringing life into existence.

00:02:48.899 --> 00:02:50.780
 And so we pray right now,

00:02:50.839 --> 00:02:53.099
 that by that same word,

00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.359
 and by the power of your Holy Spirit,

00:02:55.939 --> 00:02:59.219
 you would speak life to us.

00:02:59.219 --> 00:03:02.539
 that these words would shape us,

00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:06.639
 and transform us to live life,

00:03:07.259 --> 00:03:10.000
 according to your good design.

00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:12.539
 We pray for Michael,

00:03:12.979 --> 00:03:15.259
 that you would fill him with your spirit,

00:03:16.060 --> 00:03:17.259
 and us also,

00:03:17.939 --> 00:03:20.900
 that we may hear your word to us.

00:03:21.620 --> 00:03:23.439
 We pray this in Jesus' name.

00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:24.479
 Amen.

00:03:29.219 --> 00:03:44.960
 We read about creation here,

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.199
 and over six days,

00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:50.300
 God creating the world.

00:03:51.699 --> 00:03:54.120
 I've got to condense it into 30 minutes,

00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.340
 so I've got to work hard this morning.

00:03:57.340 --> 00:04:00.620
 But what are we looking at today?

00:04:00.819 --> 00:04:04.259
 We're looking at the wonder of God's creation.

00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.199
 Very different to the world in which we live today.

00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.960
 What can we expect in 2014?

00:04:13.259 --> 00:04:15.259
 That's a good question to ask ourselves

00:04:15.259 --> 00:04:15.939
 at the beginning.

00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.360
 I've been hearing from the various hundreds,

00:04:21.100 --> 00:04:22.840
 and the government expects

00:04:22.840 --> 00:04:24.639
 there could be growth in the economy

00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:26.220
 up to 2%.

00:04:26.220 --> 00:04:28.100
 And that, of course,

00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:29.280
 will benefit employment,

00:04:31.140 --> 00:04:32.040
 the building trade,

00:04:33.540 --> 00:04:34.640
 and immigration

00:04:34.640 --> 00:04:36.740
 may not be quite as necessary.

00:04:38.200 --> 00:04:39.680
 Hopefully, things will be better

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.760
 as the economy grows once more.

00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:43.020
 But we can't be certain

00:04:43.020 --> 00:04:45.820
 billions are still owed

00:04:45.820 --> 00:04:47.860
 outside influences,

00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:50.240
 pressures that we know not of

00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:51.500
 at the present time.

00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:54.060
 But what we do know

00:04:54.060 --> 00:04:56.779
 is that as government meets,

00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:58.939
 laws will undoubtedly be passed

00:04:58.939 --> 00:05:00.660
 that are contrary to God's law.

00:05:02.379 --> 00:05:02.980
 In other words,

00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.199
 we can say that in 2014,

00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:07.560
 sinners will continue to be sinners.

00:05:09.540 --> 00:05:10.899
 What can we expect

00:05:10.899 --> 00:05:12.660
 internationally?

00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.040
 Well, nothing changes, does it?

00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.319
 way back in Matthew 24,

00:05:20.200 --> 00:05:22.319
 the Lord Jesus speaks of wars

00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:23.640
 and rumours of wars,

00:05:24.540 --> 00:05:25.920
 of famines and earthquakes,

00:05:27.220 --> 00:05:29.280
 of the persecution of believers.

00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:29.559
 wars.

00:05:30.559 --> 00:05:31.739
 This will continue

00:05:31.739 --> 00:05:33.339
 on an international level.

00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:35.019
 This, I can say,

00:05:35.159 --> 00:05:36.219
 with certainty.

00:05:37.379 --> 00:05:38.479
 Because that's the way

00:05:38.479 --> 00:05:39.539
 that things are.

00:05:39.699 --> 00:05:40.199
 Of course,

00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:40.799
 there will be

00:05:40.799 --> 00:05:42.839
 scientific advancements.

00:05:43.799 --> 00:05:44.859
 But things will be

00:05:44.859 --> 00:05:46.199
 much the same

00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:47.279
 because the world

00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:48.319
 doesn't seem,

00:05:48.579 --> 00:05:49.279
 on the surface,

00:05:49.419 --> 00:05:49.919
 to becoming

00:05:49.919 --> 00:05:51.399
 a better place.

00:05:53.019 --> 00:05:54.819
 So we can look nationally,

00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:56.199
 we can look internationally,

00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.279
 and things are

00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.079
 so much chaos.

00:06:01.579 --> 00:06:02.279
 How about on the

00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:03.099
 personal level?

00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:05.420
 Well, we simply don't know

00:06:05.420 --> 00:06:06.300
 what lies ahead

00:06:06.300 --> 00:06:07.319
 for any one of us.

00:06:08.420 --> 00:06:09.579
 We will all make decisions.

00:06:09.819 --> 00:06:10.680
 Some of them will be good.

00:06:11.699 --> 00:06:13.399
 Some of them will be bad.

00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:15.919
 We will have good

00:06:15.919 --> 00:06:17.279
 and bad experiences

00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:18.219
 during the year.

00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:20.300
 On the health front,

00:06:20.419 --> 00:06:21.759
 none of us knows

00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:23.099
 whether we're

00:06:23.099 --> 00:06:23.980
 the youngest here

00:06:23.980 --> 00:06:24.519
 this morning

00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:25.639
 or the oldest.

00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:27.339
 We don't know.

00:06:28.159 --> 00:06:29.199
 Young people die,

00:06:30.259 --> 00:06:31.539
 as well as old people.

00:06:32.659 --> 00:06:33.659
 So we don't know

00:06:33.659 --> 00:06:34.599
 what will happen

00:06:34.599 --> 00:06:35.879
 on the health front.

00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:38.839
 We look around

00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:40.379
 and we see

00:06:40.379 --> 00:06:41.339
 the difficulties

00:06:41.339 --> 00:06:43.180
 that others have experienced

00:06:43.180 --> 00:06:44.879
 and maybe we've experienced

00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:46.039
 during this past year.

00:06:46.979 --> 00:06:48.060
 And they may,

00:06:49.139 --> 00:06:50.240
 I'm not saying they will,

00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:51.639
 but they may get worse

00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.919
 in the year

00:06:53.919 --> 00:06:54.839
 that lies ahead.

00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:58.560
 But it wasn't always

00:06:58.560 --> 00:06:59.519
 like that, was it?

00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:02.219
 From the beginning,

00:07:02.659 --> 00:07:04.759
 we see that God

00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.079
 is a God of order.

00:07:08.500 --> 00:07:10.199
 So we go back to Genesis,

00:07:10.539 --> 00:07:12.379
 to the very seed plot

00:07:12.379 --> 00:07:14.099
 of the Bible,

00:07:14.259 --> 00:07:15.539
 the seed plot

00:07:15.539 --> 00:07:16.300
 of Scripture.

00:07:16.300 --> 00:07:18.180
 and we're introduced

00:07:18.180 --> 00:07:18.199
 and we're introduced

00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:19.819
 immediately to God's

00:07:19.819 --> 00:07:20.960
 revelation of himself

00:07:20.960 --> 00:07:22.060
 and we see

00:07:22.060 --> 00:07:24.020
 a perfect world.

00:07:24.620 --> 00:07:25.600
 We see God,

00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:27.800
 the perfect creator.

00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:30.800
 And as we continue

00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:32.100
 through Genesis,

00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.080
 we see sin spoiling

00:07:35.080 --> 00:07:36.319
 that creation

00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.139
 and we're brought face

00:07:38.139 --> 00:07:39.740
 to face with God's judgment

00:07:39.740 --> 00:07:41.360
 upon sin.

00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:42.759
 and yet,

00:07:43.420 --> 00:07:44.379
 we also see

00:07:44.379 --> 00:07:45.520
 that there is grace,

00:07:45.580 --> 00:07:46.879
 a plan to redeem

00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.000
 a people to himself

00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:50.340
 through the seed

00:07:50.340 --> 00:07:51.420
 of a woman.

00:07:52.860 --> 00:07:53.800
 But let's get back

00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:55.180
 to basics this morning.

00:07:55.280 --> 00:07:56.259
 Let's go back to

00:07:56.259 --> 00:07:58.879
 Genesis chapter 1

00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:00.300
 and God's order.

00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:02.400
 to see God's order,

00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:04.800
 to see his blueprint

00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:07.939
 for our individual lives,

00:08:08.400 --> 00:08:10.280
 to see his blueprint

00:08:10.280 --> 00:08:11.819
 for our families,

00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.100
 to see his blueprint

00:08:15.100 --> 00:08:16.379
 for the nations.

00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:18.980
 Let's go back

00:08:18.980 --> 00:08:20.139
 to a world

00:08:20.139 --> 00:08:21.519
 that is untainted

00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:23.019
 by sin.

00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:25.720
 Let's see, then,

00:08:26.060 --> 00:08:27.900
 the God of order.

00:08:27.899 --> 00:08:31.199
 And in Genesis chapter 1

00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:32.659
 and verse 1,

00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:33.559
 we are introduced

00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:34.519
 to him.

00:08:35.220 --> 00:08:36.799
 In the beginning,

00:08:37.539 --> 00:08:38.699
 God created

00:08:38.699 --> 00:08:39.939
 the heavens

00:08:39.939 --> 00:08:41.819
 and the earth.

00:08:42.860 --> 00:08:43.740
 And we're straight away

00:08:43.740 --> 00:08:45.819
 told with something

00:08:45.819 --> 00:08:48.199
 of who this God is

00:08:48.199 --> 00:08:49.439
 that created.

00:08:50.620 --> 00:08:51.620
 We're introduced

00:08:51.620 --> 00:08:53.620
 to the God of order.

00:08:54.500 --> 00:08:55.860
 The word for God there

00:08:55.860 --> 00:08:56.899
 is Elohim.

00:08:57.899 --> 00:09:00.059
 It's a plural word.

00:09:00.899 --> 00:09:01.919
 And some people think

00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:02.639
 that it speaks

00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:04.500
 of a plurality

00:09:04.500 --> 00:09:05.500
 of majesty.

00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:07.579
 But that's an incorrect view.

00:09:08.500 --> 00:09:09.620
 We're introduced,

00:09:09.899 --> 00:09:10.720
 if you like,

00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:12.480
 in seed form

00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.559
 to the triune God

00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:17.720
 who's brought before us

00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:19.220
 in verse 26

00:09:19.220 --> 00:09:21.039
 where we read of him

00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:21.799
 saying,

00:09:22.019 --> 00:09:24.220
 let us make man

00:09:24.220 --> 00:09:26.039
 in our own image.

00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:27.899
 it's the first reference

00:09:27.899 --> 00:09:28.879
 to Trinity,

00:09:29.259 --> 00:09:30.819
 the Elohim God.

00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:32.199
 In Genesis,

00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.299
 we have the basic truth.

00:09:35.459 --> 00:09:36.740
 But further revelation

00:09:36.740 --> 00:09:37.639
 shows us

00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:38.439
 that Elohim

00:09:38.439 --> 00:09:39.759
 is none other

00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:40.599
 than the Father,

00:09:40.819 --> 00:09:41.079
 Son,

00:09:41.419 --> 00:09:42.339
 and Holy Spirit

00:09:42.339 --> 00:09:43.759
 who were active

00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:45.579
 in the creation

00:09:45.579 --> 00:09:46.860
 of the world.

00:09:48.219 --> 00:09:48.719
 Genesis

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.860
 doesn't go into

00:09:50.860 --> 00:09:52.100
 all the details

00:09:52.100 --> 00:09:53.320
 of who God is.

00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:55.440
 We need further revelation.

00:09:55.820 --> 00:09:56.620
 But it lays

00:09:56.620 --> 00:09:57.540
 a foundation,

00:09:58.279 --> 00:09:59.019
 an Elohim,

00:09:59.259 --> 00:10:00.639
 a God of power,

00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:01.720
 a creator

00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.720
 who is triune,

00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:04.860
 the one

00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:05.800
 who created

00:10:05.800 --> 00:10:06.800
 the world.

00:10:07.460 --> 00:10:08.259
 Let us put it

00:10:08.259 --> 00:10:09.019
 like this.

00:10:09.920 --> 00:10:10.340
 God,

00:10:10.580 --> 00:10:11.139
 the Father,

00:10:11.620 --> 00:10:12.820
 is the architect.

00:10:12.820 --> 00:10:14.180
 God,

00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:14.879
 the Son,

00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:16.379
 is the builder.

00:10:17.420 --> 00:10:18.080
 And God,

00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:19.040
 the Holy Spirit,

00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:20.860
 is the animator.

00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:23.260
 There's no

00:10:23.260 --> 00:10:24.180
 disharmony

00:10:24.180 --> 00:10:25.960
 within the Godhead.

00:10:26.420 --> 00:10:27.680
 And a triune God

00:10:27.680 --> 00:10:28.820
 worked in unity

00:10:28.820 --> 00:10:29.840
 to prepare

00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:30.920
 the world

00:10:30.920 --> 00:10:32.640
 and was able

00:10:32.640 --> 00:10:33.540
 to declare

00:10:33.540 --> 00:10:35.060
 it is

00:10:35.060 --> 00:10:36.700
 very good.

00:10:37.860 --> 00:10:38.720
 There's no

00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:39.340
 chaos

00:10:39.340 --> 00:10:40.740
 within the

00:10:40.740 --> 00:10:42.000
 triune God.

00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:43.860
 no disharmony

00:10:43.860 --> 00:10:44.519
 in the

00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:45.159
 created

00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:45.980
 order.

00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:48.519
 So we see

00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:49.019
 God,

00:10:49.419 --> 00:10:50.019
 the Father,

00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:51.879
 is the architect.

00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:53.419
 He is

00:10:53.419 --> 00:10:54.360
 absolutely

00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:55.399
 perfect.

00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:56.259
 And all that

00:10:56.259 --> 00:10:56.759
 he does

00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:57.460
 is perfect.

00:10:57.919 --> 00:10:58.460
 We mustn't

00:10:58.460 --> 00:10:58.960
 think of

00:10:58.960 --> 00:10:59.639
 a creation

00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:00.700
 as a

00:11:00.700 --> 00:11:01.240
 random

00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:01.960
 plan.

00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:03.759
 We mustn't

00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:04.320
 think as

00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:05.879
 the evolutionists

00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:06.220
 do,

00:11:07.059 --> 00:11:07.620
 of God

00:11:07.620 --> 00:11:08.200
 working

00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:09.399
 in time

00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:10.360
 plus chance

00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:11.220
 plus time

00:11:11.220 --> 00:11:12.820
 plus chance.

00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:14.180
 In the

00:11:14.180 --> 00:11:14.899
 beginning,

00:11:15.300 --> 00:11:16.580
 God created

00:11:16.580 --> 00:11:17.620
 the heavens

00:11:17.620 --> 00:11:18.420
 and the

00:11:18.420 --> 00:11:18.779
 earth.

00:11:19.500 --> 00:11:19.759
 And we

00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:20.379
 have this

00:11:20.379 --> 00:11:21.220
 phrase

00:11:21.220 --> 00:11:22.620
 repeated

00:11:22.620 --> 00:11:23.580
 again

00:11:23.580 --> 00:11:24.379
 and again

00:11:24.379 --> 00:11:25.920
 in Genesis

00:11:25.920 --> 00:11:27.000
 chapter 1.

00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:28.240
 God made

00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:28.920
 the light

00:11:28.920 --> 00:11:29.960
 and it

00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:31.120
 was good.

00:11:31.540 --> 00:11:32.160
 Verse 10,

00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:33.360
 God saw

00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:34.060
 that it

00:11:34.060 --> 00:11:34.980
 was good.

00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:35.560
 And in

00:11:35.560 --> 00:11:36.320
 verse 12

00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:37.320
 17 and

00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:38.400
 21 and

00:11:38.400 --> 00:11:39.620
 25 and

00:11:39.620 --> 00:11:40.340
 31,

00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:42.100
 God saw

00:11:42.100 --> 00:11:43.220
 all that

00:11:43.220 --> 00:11:44.060
 he had

00:11:44.060 --> 00:11:45.260
 made and

00:11:45.260 --> 00:11:45.940
 it was

00:11:45.940 --> 00:11:47.640
 very good.

00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:49.800
 How different

00:11:49.800 --> 00:11:51.220
 to the

00:11:51.220 --> 00:11:51.740
 created

00:11:51.740 --> 00:11:52.720
 things we

00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:53.560
 see around

00:11:53.560 --> 00:11:54.260
 about us

00:11:54.260 --> 00:11:54.660
 today.

00:11:55.460 --> 00:11:56.300
 We all

00:11:56.300 --> 00:11:57.120
 know about

00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:58.160
 the Celtic

00:11:58.160 --> 00:11:58.620
 tiger.

00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:00.000
 We all

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:00.980
 know things

00:12:00.980 --> 00:12:01.820
 went up

00:12:01.820 --> 00:12:02.720
 and developers

00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:03.980
 got their

00:12:03.980 --> 00:12:04.600
 way in

00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:05.360
 doing things

00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:05.900
 as they

00:12:05.900 --> 00:12:06.820
 wanted to.

00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:08.020
 We all

00:12:08.020 --> 00:12:08.820
 saw the

00:12:08.820 --> 00:12:09.500
 architects

00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:09.980
 and the

00:12:09.980 --> 00:12:10.620
 engineers

00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:11.100
 and the

00:12:11.100 --> 00:12:11.500
 planners

00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:12.540
 and the

00:12:12.540 --> 00:12:12.900
 builders.

00:12:15.040 --> 00:12:15.400
 And we

00:12:15.400 --> 00:12:16.340
 saw buildings

00:12:16.340 --> 00:12:16.840
 that were

00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:17.980
 signed on

00:12:17.980 --> 00:12:19.100
 as being

00:12:19.100 --> 00:12:19.600
 good.

00:12:20.420 --> 00:12:20.879
 Everything

00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:21.920
 went according

00:12:21.920 --> 00:12:23.120
 to man's

00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:23.980
 plans and

00:12:23.980 --> 00:12:25.060
 then everything

00:12:25.060 --> 00:12:26.340
 collapsed.

00:12:28.180 --> 00:12:28.700
 In many

00:12:28.700 --> 00:12:29.820
 cases it

00:12:29.820 --> 00:12:31.020
 was far

00:12:31.020 --> 00:12:32.379
 from good.

00:12:32.920 --> 00:12:33.200
 Why?

00:12:34.420 --> 00:12:35.720
 Because sin

00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:36.580
 had entered

00:12:36.580 --> 00:12:37.900
 into the

00:12:37.900 --> 00:12:38.259
 world.

00:12:38.920 --> 00:12:39.300
 And we

00:12:39.300 --> 00:12:39.759
 have seen

00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:40.540
 the disorder

00:12:40.540 --> 00:12:41.500
 of these

00:12:41.500 --> 00:12:42.800
 last years.

00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:44.660
 In the

00:12:44.660 --> 00:12:45.700
 beginning it

00:12:45.700 --> 00:12:46.680
 was so

00:12:46.680 --> 00:12:47.300
 different.

00:12:47.820 --> 00:12:47.980
 The

00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:48.840
 totality

00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:50.060
 of creation

00:12:50.060 --> 00:12:51.140
 was good.

00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:54.620
 But as we

00:12:54.620 --> 00:12:55.259
 look around

00:12:55.259 --> 00:12:55.920
 the world

00:12:55.920 --> 00:12:57.040
 and we

00:12:57.040 --> 00:12:57.560
 see the

00:12:57.560 --> 00:12:58.379
 beauty of

00:12:58.379 --> 00:12:59.059
 creation

00:12:59.059 --> 00:12:59.980
 we can

00:12:59.980 --> 00:13:00.820
 still see

00:13:00.820 --> 00:13:01.500
 order.

00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:02.539
 It still

00:13:02.539 --> 00:13:03.539
 shines forth

00:13:03.539 --> 00:13:03.960
 in all

00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:04.939
 its wonder

00:13:04.939 --> 00:13:06.240
 because of

00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:07.179
 the architect

00:13:07.179 --> 00:13:08.919
 because he

00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:09.639
 made it

00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:10.539
 very good.

00:13:11.779 --> 00:13:12.240
 And Paul

00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:12.980
 writing to

00:13:12.980 --> 00:13:13.539
 the Romans

00:13:13.539 --> 00:13:14.080
 in chapter

00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:15.019
 1 and

00:13:15.019 --> 00:13:15.899
 verse 20

00:13:15.899 --> 00:13:17.059
 says for

00:13:17.059 --> 00:13:17.799
 since the

00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:18.720
 creation of

00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:19.299
 the world

00:13:19.299 --> 00:13:20.320
 God's

00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:20.939
 invisible

00:13:20.939 --> 00:13:21.700
 qualities

00:13:21.700 --> 00:13:22.799
 his eternal

00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:23.919
 power and

00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:25.059
 divine nature

00:13:25.059 --> 00:13:26.259
 are clearly

00:13:26.259 --> 00:13:26.960
 seen.

00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:27.940
 being

00:13:27.940 --> 00:13:28.680
 understood

00:13:28.680 --> 00:13:29.780
 from what

00:13:29.780 --> 00:13:30.180
 has been

00:13:30.180 --> 00:13:31.160
 made so

00:13:31.160 --> 00:13:31.879
 that men

00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:33.019
 are without

00:13:33.019 --> 00:13:34.080
 excuse.

00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:35.379
 How many

00:13:35.379 --> 00:13:35.879
 of us

00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:36.820
 have looked

00:13:36.820 --> 00:13:37.500
 up at the

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:38.340
 stars at

00:13:38.340 --> 00:13:39.660
 night and

00:13:39.660 --> 00:13:40.660
 wondered at

00:13:40.660 --> 00:13:41.820
 the magnificence

00:13:41.820 --> 00:13:42.400
 of them?

00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:42.519
 God.

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:45.659
 I remember

00:13:45.659 --> 00:13:46.659
 talking to a

00:13:46.659 --> 00:13:47.319
 young lad

00:13:47.319 --> 00:13:48.179
 who was

00:13:48.179 --> 00:13:48.919
 going through

00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:50.459
 a time of

00:13:50.459 --> 00:13:51.500
 trial and

00:13:51.500 --> 00:13:52.279
 wondered if

00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:52.819
 he could go

00:13:52.819 --> 00:13:53.500
 on believing

00:13:53.500 --> 00:13:54.139
 in God.

00:13:55.340 --> 00:13:55.759
 In our

00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:56.159
 particular

00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:57.379
 situation at

00:13:57.379 --> 00:13:57.879
 a camp

00:13:57.879 --> 00:13:58.579
 we were

00:13:58.579 --> 00:13:59.100
 out in the

00:13:59.100 --> 00:13:59.600
 countryside

00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:03.659
 not distracted

00:14:03.659 --> 00:14:04.539
 by street

00:14:04.539 --> 00:14:05.059
 lights.

00:14:05.899 --> 00:14:06.100
 And I

00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:06.639
 told him to

00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:07.259
 look up at

00:14:07.259 --> 00:14:08.279
 the stars and

00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:08.559
 they were

00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:09.319
 beautiful that

00:14:09.319 --> 00:14:09.639
 night.

00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:10.500
 you can see

00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:11.500
 the Milky

00:14:11.500 --> 00:14:12.179
 Way our

00:14:12.179 --> 00:14:12.480
 own

00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:13.720
 constellation in

00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:14.220
 all his

00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:15.000
 grandeur.

00:14:17.340 --> 00:14:17.740
 And there

00:14:17.740 --> 00:14:18.419
 was God

00:14:18.419 --> 00:14:19.899
 before us

00:14:19.899 --> 00:14:20.519
 if you like

00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:21.720
 in all his

00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:22.519
 grandeur.

00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:23.720
 His invisible

00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:24.439
 qualities,

00:14:24.779 --> 00:14:25.480
 his eternal

00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:26.419
 power, his

00:14:26.419 --> 00:14:27.360
 divine nature

00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:28.460
 are seen

00:14:28.460 --> 00:14:30.139
 in what he

00:14:30.139 --> 00:14:30.679
 has made.

00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:31.799
 The divine

00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:33.360
 architect is

00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:34.559
 seen in

00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:36.059
 his creation.

00:14:36.059 --> 00:14:36.199
 creation.

00:14:37.579 --> 00:14:38.059
 But as we

00:14:38.059 --> 00:14:38.919
 think of the

00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:39.759
 God of

00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:40.399
 order we

00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:41.059
 also think

00:14:41.059 --> 00:14:41.439
 of the

00:14:41.439 --> 00:14:42.439
 sun as

00:14:42.439 --> 00:14:43.119
 the builder.

00:14:45.099 --> 00:14:45.419
 And we

00:14:45.419 --> 00:14:45.859
 have that

00:14:45.859 --> 00:14:46.519
 recurring

00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:47.379
 phrase in

00:14:47.379 --> 00:14:47.799
 Genesis

00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:49.199
 chapter 1

00:14:49.199 --> 00:14:50.159
 and verse

00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:50.759
 3 and

00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:51.219
 then again

00:14:51.219 --> 00:14:51.679
 in verse

00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:52.500
 6, 9,

00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:53.239
 11,

00:14:53.479 --> 00:14:54.019
 14,

00:14:54.199 --> 00:14:54.779
 20,

00:14:55.219 --> 00:14:55.819
 24,

00:14:56.139 --> 00:14:57.139
 26,

00:14:57.579 --> 00:14:58.679
 and God

00:14:58.679 --> 00:14:59.599
 said.

00:15:00.719 --> 00:15:01.339
 And God

00:15:01.339 --> 00:15:02.299
 says and

00:15:02.299 --> 00:15:03.739
 it is done.

00:15:03.740 --> 00:15:05.200
 And by

00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:06.500
 faith we

00:15:06.500 --> 00:15:07.740
 understand that

00:15:07.740 --> 00:15:08.639
 the universe

00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:09.700
 was formed

00:15:09.700 --> 00:15:10.680
 at God's

00:15:10.680 --> 00:15:11.899
 command so

00:15:11.899 --> 00:15:12.320
 that what

00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:13.080
 is seen was

00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:13.659
 not made

00:15:13.659 --> 00:15:14.379
 out of what

00:15:14.379 --> 00:15:15.419
 was visible.

00:15:16.220 --> 00:15:17.360
 Hebrews 11

00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:18.639
 and verse

00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:19.080
 3.

00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:20.560
 God it

00:15:20.560 --> 00:15:21.240
 was who

00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:23.019
 spoke creation

00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:25.080
 into existence.

00:15:26.460 --> 00:15:26.899
 Who was

00:15:26.899 --> 00:15:27.539
 this one

00:15:27.539 --> 00:15:28.840
 who spoke?

00:15:30.019 --> 00:15:30.440
 Well it

00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:31.019
 was none

00:15:31.019 --> 00:15:32.299
 other than

00:15:32.299 --> 00:15:33.159
 the eternal

00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:34.259
 sound of

00:15:34.259 --> 00:15:34.579
 God,

00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:35.860
 the eternal

00:15:35.860 --> 00:15:36.839
 word.

00:15:38.419 --> 00:15:39.159
 In the

00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:39.559
 beginning,

00:15:40.199 --> 00:15:40.579
 as we

00:15:40.579 --> 00:15:41.719
 heard at

00:15:41.719 --> 00:15:42.059
 the beginning

00:15:42.059 --> 00:15:42.459
 of our

00:15:42.459 --> 00:15:43.299
 service this

00:15:43.299 --> 00:15:43.639
 morning,

00:15:44.179 --> 00:15:44.799
 was the

00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:45.199
 word.

00:15:45.980 --> 00:15:46.339
 And the

00:15:46.339 --> 00:15:47.019
 word was

00:15:47.019 --> 00:15:47.799
 with God

00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:48.419
 and the

00:15:48.419 --> 00:15:49.240
 word was

00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:49.620
 God.

00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:50.179
 He was

00:15:50.179 --> 00:15:50.899
 with God

00:15:50.899 --> 00:15:51.419
 in the

00:15:51.419 --> 00:15:51.779
 beginning.

00:15:52.199 --> 00:15:52.399
 Through

00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:53.179
 him all

00:15:53.179 --> 00:15:53.879
 things were

00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:54.259
 made.

00:15:54.579 --> 00:15:55.000
 Without

00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:55.980
 him was

00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:56.459
 nothing

00:15:56.459 --> 00:15:57.379
 made that

00:15:57.379 --> 00:15:58.199
 has been

00:15:58.199 --> 00:15:58.519
 made.

00:15:59.120 --> 00:15:59.860
 So John

00:15:59.860 --> 00:16:00.639
 is making

00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:01.199
 it very

00:16:01.199 --> 00:16:02.139
 clear that

00:16:02.139 --> 00:16:02.639
 the Lord

00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:03.360
 Jesus is

00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:03.879
 the one

00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:05.240
 who built

00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:05.919
 the world

00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:06.419
 as it

00:16:06.419 --> 00:16:06.620
 were,

00:16:06.819 --> 00:16:07.799
 who spoke

00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:08.620
 creation.

00:16:09.139 --> 00:16:09.759
 He is

00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:10.779
 the eternal

00:16:10.779 --> 00:16:12.000
 word who

00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:12.840
 said in

00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:13.460
 the beginning

00:16:13.460 --> 00:16:14.580
 let there

00:16:14.580 --> 00:16:15.240
 be light

00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:16.240
 and there

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:17.419
 was light.

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:21.179
 I didn't

00:16:21.179 --> 00:16:21.740
 know all

00:16:21.740 --> 00:16:22.279
 the things

00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:22.519
 that were

00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:23.120
 going to be

00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:23.379
 said,

00:16:23.439 --> 00:16:23.919
 obviously,

00:16:24.699 --> 00:16:25.460
 during the

00:16:25.460 --> 00:16:25.939
 service,

00:16:26.819 --> 00:16:27.240
 but didn't

00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:27.720
 we hear

00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:28.659
 from Colossians

00:16:28.659 --> 00:16:29.220
 1 and

00:16:29.220 --> 00:16:30.039
 verse 16.

00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:31.600
 For by

00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:32.100
 him,

00:16:32.580 --> 00:16:33.320
 that is by

00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:33.820
 the Lord

00:16:33.820 --> 00:16:34.180
 Jesus,

00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:34.919
 the eternal

00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:35.399
 word,

00:16:35.680 --> 00:16:36.639
 all things

00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:37.560
 were created,

00:16:37.980 --> 00:16:38.620
 things in

00:16:38.620 --> 00:16:39.560
 heaven and

00:16:39.560 --> 00:16:40.080
 on earth,

00:16:40.340 --> 00:16:41.340
 visible and

00:16:41.340 --> 00:16:41.879
 invisible.

00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:43.180
 He is

00:16:43.180 --> 00:16:44.159
 before all

00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:44.700
 things,

00:16:45.180 --> 00:16:45.700
 and in

00:16:45.700 --> 00:16:46.519
 him all

00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:47.500
 things hold

00:16:47.500 --> 00:16:48.100
 together.

00:16:49.019 --> 00:16:49.440
 And it

00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:50.100
 seems in the

00:16:50.100 --> 00:16:50.700
 Bible it's

00:16:50.700 --> 00:16:51.560
 a place to

00:16:51.560 --> 00:16:52.139
 show us

00:16:52.139 --> 00:16:53.419
 the absolute

00:16:53.419 --> 00:16:55.159
 perfection of

00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:55.740
 the Lord

00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:56.959
 Jesus Christ.

00:16:58.559 --> 00:16:59.059
 And in

00:16:59.059 --> 00:17:00.039
 his absolute

00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:00.919
 perfection,

00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:02.159
 he could

00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:03.559
 not demonstrate

00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:04.720
 anything that

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:05.579
 was shoddy.

00:17:06.099 --> 00:17:07.099
 There is no

00:17:07.099 --> 00:17:07.940
 shoddy

00:17:07.940 --> 00:17:09.740
 workmanship in

00:17:09.740 --> 00:17:10.639
 the creation

00:17:10.639 --> 00:17:11.440
 of the world,

00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:12.720
 no dodgy

00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:13.819
 materials.

00:17:15.879 --> 00:17:16.299
 In his

00:17:16.299 --> 00:17:17.000
 life here

00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:18.039
 upon earth,

00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:19.740
 his perfection

00:17:19.740 --> 00:17:20.440
 remained.

00:17:20.700 --> 00:17:21.259
 He did

00:17:21.259 --> 00:17:22.159
 no sin,

00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:24.119
 neither was

00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:25.039
 guile found

00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:26.059
 in his

00:17:26.059 --> 00:17:27.279
 mouth.

00:17:28.420 --> 00:17:28.779
 And it's

00:17:28.779 --> 00:17:29.539
 the absolute

00:17:29.539 --> 00:17:30.839
 perfect one

00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:32.579
 who called

00:17:32.579 --> 00:17:34.079
 creation into

00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:35.099
 existence,

00:17:35.420 --> 00:17:36.740
 a perfect

00:17:36.740 --> 00:17:37.700
 creation.

00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:39.680
 He is

00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:40.539
 the second

00:17:40.539 --> 00:17:42.139
 person of

00:17:42.139 --> 00:17:43.279
 the Elohim,

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:44.740
 the God

00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:46.139
 of creation.

00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:47.200
 So we have

00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:47.839
 the Father

00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:48.700
 as the

00:17:48.700 --> 00:17:49.139
 architect,

00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:50.039
 the Son

00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:50.619
 as the

00:17:50.619 --> 00:17:50.940
 builder,

00:17:51.339 --> 00:17:52.079
 but we have

00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:53.000
 the Holy Spirit

00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:53.480
 as the

00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:54.099
 animator,

00:17:54.099 --> 00:17:54.759
 the one

00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:55.439
 who gives

00:17:55.439 --> 00:17:55.879
 life.

00:17:57.779 --> 00:17:58.159
 And if we

00:17:58.159 --> 00:17:58.599
 go to

00:17:58.599 --> 00:17:59.039
 Genesis

00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:00.019
 chapter 1

00:18:00.019 --> 00:18:01.279
 and verse 2,

00:18:01.399 --> 00:18:02.279
 the latter part

00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:02.599
 of it,

00:18:03.299 --> 00:18:04.219
 we find the

00:18:04.219 --> 00:18:05.459
 Spirit of God

00:18:05.459 --> 00:18:07.459
 hovering over

00:18:07.459 --> 00:18:08.679
 the waters.

00:18:09.679 --> 00:18:10.599
 The Spirit

00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:11.759
 was active

00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:13.139
 in creation.

00:18:13.939 --> 00:18:14.439
 The third

00:18:14.439 --> 00:18:15.419
 person of the

00:18:15.419 --> 00:18:15.899
 Trinity

00:18:15.899 --> 00:18:17.119
 active there,

00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:18.679
 hovering over

00:18:18.679 --> 00:18:19.719
 the deep.

00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:19.779
 deep.

00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:21.860
 As John

00:18:21.860 --> 00:18:22.839
 Carvin puts

00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:23.120
 it,

00:18:23.819 --> 00:18:25.299
 hovering over

00:18:25.299 --> 00:18:26.299
 the indigested

00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:28.240
 mass,

00:18:28.940 --> 00:18:29.299
 the disorderly

00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:30.960
 deep,

00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:32.539
 the chaos.

00:18:34.100 --> 00:18:35.360
 How could

00:18:35.360 --> 00:18:36.000
 there be

00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:36.600
 order?

00:18:37.100 --> 00:18:38.039
 Only through

00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:39.579
 the work of

00:18:39.579 --> 00:18:40.339
 the Father,

00:18:40.700 --> 00:18:41.339
 the Son,

00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:42.740
 and the Holy

00:18:42.740 --> 00:18:43.220
 Spirit.

00:18:43.220 --> 00:18:43.519
 perfect.

00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:46.700
 But when

00:18:46.700 --> 00:18:47.579
 God sends

00:18:47.579 --> 00:18:48.360
 his Spirit,

00:18:49.620 --> 00:18:50.299
 things are

00:18:50.299 --> 00:18:50.900
 created,

00:18:51.700 --> 00:18:52.180
 and he

00:18:52.180 --> 00:18:53.120
 renews the

00:18:53.120 --> 00:18:53.960
 face of

00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:54.460
 the earth.

00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:55.339
 So says

00:18:55.339 --> 00:18:56.620
 Psalm 104

00:18:56.620 --> 00:18:57.920
 and verse

00:18:57.920 --> 00:18:58.680
 30.

00:18:59.319 --> 00:18:59.660
 And we

00:18:59.660 --> 00:19:00.240
 see the

00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:01.360
 activity of

00:19:01.360 --> 00:19:01.980
 the Spirit

00:19:01.980 --> 00:19:02.640
 in the

00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:03.839
 creation of

00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:05.200
 man himself,

00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:07.279
 made perfect.

00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:08.420
 The Lord

00:19:08.420 --> 00:19:09.160
 God, we

00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:09.660
 read in

00:19:09.660 --> 00:19:10.440
 chapter 2

00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:10.940
 and verse

00:19:10.940 --> 00:19:11.299
 7,

00:19:11.299 --> 00:19:12.619
 formed man

00:19:12.619 --> 00:19:13.139
 from the

00:19:13.139 --> 00:19:13.740
 dust of

00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:14.200
 the ground

00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:15.539
 and breathed

00:19:15.539 --> 00:19:16.180
 into his

00:19:16.180 --> 00:19:18.079
 nostrils the

00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:18.859
 breath of

00:19:18.859 --> 00:19:19.240
 life.

00:19:19.879 --> 00:19:20.419
 And man

00:19:20.419 --> 00:19:21.539
 became a

00:19:21.539 --> 00:19:22.480
 living spirit.

00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:23.119
 What was

00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:23.680
 his breath?

00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:24.019
 There was

00:19:24.019 --> 00:19:24.619
 none other

00:19:24.619 --> 00:19:25.859
 than the

00:19:25.859 --> 00:19:27.000
 Spirit of

00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:27.519
 the living

00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:28.139
 God.

00:19:28.139 --> 00:19:28.980
 For he

00:19:28.980 --> 00:19:29.619
 is made

00:19:29.619 --> 00:19:30.119
 in the

00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:30.559
 image,

00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:31.099
 man is

00:19:31.099 --> 00:19:31.759
 made in

00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:32.619
 the image

00:19:32.619 --> 00:19:33.539
 of God.

00:19:34.919 --> 00:19:35.559
 So as we

00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:36.220
 look around

00:19:36.220 --> 00:19:37.200
 at creation,

00:19:37.700 --> 00:19:38.240
 there at

00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:38.740
 the beginning,

00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:40.960
 we have a

00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:42.620
 perfect creation

00:19:42.620 --> 00:19:44.000
 because it

00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:44.640
 comes from

00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:45.319
 a God

00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:46.640
 who worked

00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:47.720
 in triune

00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:49.180
 unity to

00:19:49.180 --> 00:19:49.860
 bring about

00:19:49.860 --> 00:19:50.840
 a perfect

00:19:50.840 --> 00:19:51.720
 creation.

00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:54.460
 But if we

00:19:54.460 --> 00:19:55.380
 move on

00:19:55.380 --> 00:19:56.059
 in our

00:19:56.059 --> 00:19:56.559
 story,

00:19:57.259 --> 00:19:57.720
 we see

00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:58.420
 something of

00:19:58.420 --> 00:19:59.120
 the order

00:19:59.120 --> 00:19:59.880
 of his

00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:00.779
 creation.

00:20:01.779 --> 00:20:02.460
 In

00:20:02.460 --> 00:20:03.440
 chapter 1

00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:03.900
 and verse

00:20:03.900 --> 00:20:04.600
 2 of

00:20:04.600 --> 00:20:05.039
 Genesis,

00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:05.740
 we read

00:20:05.740 --> 00:20:06.539
 these words,

00:20:06.539 --> 00:20:07.539
 Now the

00:20:07.539 --> 00:20:08.379
 earth was

00:20:08.379 --> 00:20:09.799
 formless and

00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:10.399
 empty.

00:20:11.059 --> 00:20:11.639
 Darkness

00:20:11.639 --> 00:20:12.359
 was over

00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:13.539
 the surface

00:20:13.539 --> 00:20:14.440
 of the

00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:14.819
 deep.

00:20:16.139 --> 00:20:16.500
 There are

00:20:16.500 --> 00:20:17.279
 two words

00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:18.720
 for formless

00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:19.299
 and empty

00:20:19.299 --> 00:20:20.319
 in the

00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:20.799
 original,

00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:22.180
 abohu

00:20:22.180 --> 00:20:23.539
 and tohu.

00:20:24.659 --> 00:20:24.920
 And it

00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:25.259
 has the

00:20:25.259 --> 00:20:26.019
 idea of a

00:20:26.019 --> 00:20:26.799
 confused

00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:28.019
 nothingness.

00:20:29.500 --> 00:20:29.859
 Again,

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:30.579
 to quote

00:20:30.579 --> 00:20:30.960
 John

00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:31.440
 Carman,

00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:32.819
 a rude

00:20:32.819 --> 00:20:33.460
 and

00:20:33.460 --> 00:20:34.339
 unpunished

00:20:34.339 --> 00:20:35.539
 or shapeless

00:20:35.539 --> 00:20:36.339
 chaos.

00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:38.039
 Speaking of

00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:39.000
 those waters

00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:39.399
 at the

00:20:39.399 --> 00:20:39.740
 beginning,

00:20:40.199 --> 00:20:41.299
 nothing solid

00:20:41.299 --> 00:20:42.299
 or stable,

00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:44.079
 nothing distinct,

00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:46.240
 a surging,

00:20:46.579 --> 00:20:47.659
 a raging.

00:20:48.959 --> 00:20:49.559
 It needed

00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:50.459
 a stability

00:20:50.459 --> 00:20:51.359
 that only

00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:52.079
 the triune

00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:52.839
 God could

00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:53.859
 bring about.

00:20:54.419 --> 00:20:54.959
 And Moses

00:20:54.959 --> 00:20:55.699
 is showing

00:20:55.699 --> 00:20:56.199
 us the

00:20:56.199 --> 00:20:56.720
 opposite

00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:58.299
 of what

00:20:58.299 --> 00:20:59.019
 was going

00:20:59.019 --> 00:20:59.819
 to be

00:20:59.819 --> 00:21:00.919
 an ordered

00:21:00.919 --> 00:21:02.259
 creation.

00:21:04.339 --> 00:21:05.139
 So we

00:21:05.139 --> 00:21:05.939
 have day

00:21:05.939 --> 00:21:06.759
 one,

00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:07.639
 and we

00:21:07.639 --> 00:21:08.539
 have light

00:21:08.539 --> 00:21:09.559
 and darkness,

00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:10.419
 and there's

00:21:10.419 --> 00:21:11.179
 an order,

00:21:11.619 --> 00:21:12.419
 a separation

00:21:12.419 --> 00:21:13.299
 between the

00:21:13.299 --> 00:21:14.240
 one and

00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:15.039
 the other.

00:21:16.159 --> 00:21:16.699
 And day

00:21:16.699 --> 00:21:17.119
 two,

00:21:17.259 --> 00:21:18.119
 the separations

00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:18.779
 of the water,

00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:19.859
 the creation

00:21:19.859 --> 00:21:21.039
 of the sky.

00:21:21.619 --> 00:21:22.419
 Those waters

00:21:22.419 --> 00:21:23.139
 overwaves

00:21:23.139 --> 00:21:23.779
 the Spirit

00:21:23.779 --> 00:21:24.419
 at hover.

00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:25.579
 Again,

00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:26.039
 there was

00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:27.139
 separation,

00:21:27.539 --> 00:21:27.980
 there was

00:21:27.980 --> 00:21:28.659
 order.

00:21:30.659 --> 00:21:31.639
 Day three,

00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:32.620
 verses nine

00:21:32.620 --> 00:21:33.420
 to thirteen,

00:21:33.620 --> 00:21:34.120
 we have

00:21:34.120 --> 00:21:34.620
 the sea,

00:21:34.800 --> 00:21:35.200
 the dry

00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:35.600
 land,

00:21:35.700 --> 00:21:36.440
 and vegetation,

00:21:37.100 --> 00:21:38.280
 and trees,

00:21:38.820 --> 00:21:39.640
 and plants.

00:21:42.500 --> 00:21:43.560
 The sea

00:21:43.560 --> 00:21:44.380
 and the land

00:21:44.380 --> 00:21:45.600
 become separate,

00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:46.440
 and there

00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:47.180
 was order.

00:21:47.520 --> 00:21:48.240
 God set

00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:49.120
 boundaries

00:21:49.120 --> 00:21:50.140
 upon them.

00:21:51.660 --> 00:21:52.060
 And when

00:21:52.060 --> 00:21:52.540
 we see

00:21:52.540 --> 00:21:53.380
 God making

00:21:53.380 --> 00:21:54.180
 the stars

00:21:54.180 --> 00:21:54.700
 in all

00:21:54.700 --> 00:21:56.220
 their constellations,

00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:57.280
 in verses

00:21:57.280 --> 00:21:57.960
 fourteen

00:21:57.960 --> 00:21:58.800
 to nineteen

00:21:58.800 --> 00:21:59.340
 on day

00:21:59.340 --> 00:21:59.800
 four,

00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:00.759
 there's

00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:01.220
 nothing

00:22:01.220 --> 00:22:02.960
 haphazard

00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:03.839
 about it.

00:22:04.460 --> 00:22:05.119
 It's not

00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:06.279
 God flinging

00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:07.059
 the stars

00:22:07.059 --> 00:22:08.319
 into space.

00:22:10.019 --> 00:22:11.039
 But is

00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:11.940
 God placing

00:22:11.940 --> 00:22:12.559
 them in

00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:13.039
 order?

00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:14.799
 Each in

00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:15.500
 their orbit,

00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:16.500
 each working,

00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:17.700
 constellations

00:22:17.700 --> 00:22:19.619
 not colliding,

00:22:20.539 --> 00:22:21.259
 because there

00:22:21.259 --> 00:22:22.059
 is order

00:22:22.059 --> 00:22:23.159
 in the universe

00:22:23.159 --> 00:22:24.019
 that he

00:22:24.019 --> 00:22:24.960
 made,

00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:25.779
 and there's

00:22:25.779 --> 00:22:26.500
 a beauty

00:22:26.500 --> 00:22:27.720
 in it.

00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:29.460
 and the

00:22:29.460 --> 00:22:30.120
 variety

00:22:30.120 --> 00:22:30.900
 of the

00:22:30.900 --> 00:22:31.380
 birds

00:22:31.380 --> 00:22:31.900
 and the

00:22:31.900 --> 00:22:32.220
 fish

00:22:32.220 --> 00:22:32.839
 on day

00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:33.440
 five,

00:22:33.980 --> 00:22:34.480
 and all

00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:34.779
 their

00:22:34.779 --> 00:22:35.240
 beauty

00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:35.500
 and

00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:36.519
 magnificence.

00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:37.819
 And then on

00:22:37.819 --> 00:22:38.500
 day six,

00:22:38.539 --> 00:22:39.180
 the animals

00:22:39.180 --> 00:22:39.819
 and the

00:22:39.819 --> 00:22:40.579
 reptiles

00:22:40.579 --> 00:22:41.079
 from verses

00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:41.980
 twenty-four

00:22:41.980 --> 00:22:43.680
 to thirty-one.

00:22:45.339 --> 00:22:45.819
 And after

00:22:45.819 --> 00:22:46.500
 all this

00:22:46.500 --> 00:22:47.120
 was done,

00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:48.079
 God created

00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:49.140
 men and

00:22:49.140 --> 00:22:49.440
 women,

00:22:49.819 --> 00:22:50.740
 made in

00:22:50.740 --> 00:22:51.640
 the image

00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:52.319
 of God.

00:22:52.600 --> 00:22:52.900
 And the

00:22:52.900 --> 00:22:53.339
 psalmist

00:22:53.339 --> 00:22:54.519
 refers to this,

00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:56.079
 of man being

00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:56.920
 fearfully

00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:58.559
 and wonderfully

00:22:58.559 --> 00:22:59.519
 made.

00:23:01.660 --> 00:23:02.599
 Absolutely

00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:03.839
 perfect.

00:23:04.579 --> 00:23:05.180
 And all

00:23:05.180 --> 00:23:06.099
 of creation

00:23:06.099 --> 00:23:07.680
 was given

00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:08.480
 God's

00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:09.200
 approval.

00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:10.559
 It was not

00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:11.579
 just good,

00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:13.119
 but in its

00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:13.960
 totality,

00:23:14.259 --> 00:23:14.779
 it was

00:23:14.779 --> 00:23:16.000
 very good.

00:23:17.740 --> 00:23:18.339
 Thus,

00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:19.039
 the heavens

00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:20.500
 and the

00:23:20.500 --> 00:23:20.920
 earth

00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:21.940
 were completed

00:23:21.940 --> 00:23:23.220
 in all

00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:24.599
 their vast

00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:25.200
 array.

00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:26.099
 So says

00:23:26.099 --> 00:23:26.599
 Genesis

00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:27.759
 chapter two

00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:28.960
 and verse

00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:29.539
 one.

00:23:30.899 --> 00:23:31.339
 So I

00:23:31.339 --> 00:23:31.740
 repeat

00:23:31.740 --> 00:23:32.240
 again,

00:23:32.980 --> 00:23:33.440
 nothing

00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:34.500
 haphazard

00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:35.920
 in God's

00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:36.599
 creation,

00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:37.599
 all

00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:38.720
 absolutely

00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:39.799
 perfect.

00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:41.019
 God

00:23:41.019 --> 00:23:42.279
 created

00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:43.519
 a total

00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:44.940
 transformation

00:23:44.940 --> 00:23:45.559
 of that

00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:46.139
 which was

00:23:46.139 --> 00:23:46.839
 warmness

00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:48.180
 and empty.

00:23:48.180 --> 00:23:50.259
 and as

00:23:50.259 --> 00:23:50.700
 C.S.

00:23:50.779 --> 00:23:51.000
 Lewis

00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:51.840
 puts it,

00:23:52.560 --> 00:23:53.320
 the universe

00:23:53.320 --> 00:23:54.640
 naturally

00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:56.019
 bears the

00:23:56.019 --> 00:23:57.120
 mark of

00:23:57.120 --> 00:23:57.799
 God's

00:23:57.799 --> 00:23:59.160
 personality

00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:00.340
 and it

00:24:00.340 --> 00:24:00.820
 does.

00:24:02.620 --> 00:24:03.180
 Louis

00:24:03.180 --> 00:24:03.900
 Armstrong

00:24:03.900 --> 00:24:05.680
 used to

00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:06.080
 sing a

00:24:06.080 --> 00:24:06.440
 song,

00:24:06.539 --> 00:24:06.779
 and I

00:24:06.779 --> 00:24:07.200
 know I'm

00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:08.019
 dating myself

00:24:08.019 --> 00:24:08.400
 now,

00:24:09.100 --> 00:24:09.700
 I think

00:24:09.700 --> 00:24:10.480
 to myself,

00:24:11.539 --> 00:24:12.019
 what a

00:24:12.019 --> 00:24:12.400
 wonderful

00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:12.940
 world.

00:24:14.420 --> 00:24:14.960
 I think

00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:15.700
 the psalmist

00:24:15.700 --> 00:24:16.820
 put it

00:24:16.820 --> 00:24:17.500
 much better

00:24:17.500 --> 00:24:18.539
 than

00:24:18.539 --> 00:24:18.880
 Louis

00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:19.519
 Armstrong

00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:21.460
 when he

00:24:21.460 --> 00:24:22.279
 writes in

00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:22.720
 Psalm

00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:23.539
 19,

00:24:24.740 --> 00:24:25.680
 the heavens

00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:27.119
 declare the

00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:27.819
 glory of

00:24:27.819 --> 00:24:28.240
 God,

00:24:28.740 --> 00:24:29.519
 the skies

00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:30.519
 proclaim the

00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:31.359
 work of

00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:32.160
 his hands,

00:24:32.539 --> 00:24:33.059
 day after

00:24:33.059 --> 00:24:33.700
 day they

00:24:33.700 --> 00:24:34.680
 pour forth

00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:35.359
 speech,

00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:36.539
 night after

00:24:36.539 --> 00:24:37.440
 night they

00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:38.059
 display

00:24:38.059 --> 00:24:38.880
 knowledge,

00:24:39.299 --> 00:24:39.660
 there is

00:24:39.660 --> 00:24:40.460
 no speech

00:24:40.460 --> 00:24:41.119
 or language

00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:41.700
 where their

00:24:41.700 --> 00:24:42.599
 voice is not

00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:42.980
 heard,

00:24:43.380 --> 00:24:44.019
 their voice

00:24:44.019 --> 00:24:44.700
 goes out

00:24:44.700 --> 00:24:45.480
 into all

00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:46.160
 the earth,

00:24:46.539 --> 00:24:47.180
 their words

00:24:47.180 --> 00:24:47.660
 to the

00:24:47.660 --> 00:24:48.299
 ends of

00:24:48.299 --> 00:24:48.799
 the world,

00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:49.720
 in the

00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:50.880
 heavens he

00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:51.700
 has pitched

00:24:51.700 --> 00:24:52.400
 a tent

00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:53.580
 for the

00:24:53.580 --> 00:24:54.059
 sun,

00:24:54.860 --> 00:24:55.380
 which is

00:24:55.380 --> 00:24:55.840
 like a

00:24:55.840 --> 00:24:56.539
 bridegroom

00:24:56.539 --> 00:24:57.720
 coming forth

00:24:57.720 --> 00:24:58.240
 from his

00:24:58.240 --> 00:24:58.680
 pavilion,

00:24:59.120 --> 00:24:59.559
 like a

00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:00.080
 champion

00:25:00.080 --> 00:25:01.000
 rejoicing

00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:02.080
 to run

00:25:02.080 --> 00:25:03.400
 its course,

00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:05.259
 a great

00:25:05.259 --> 00:25:06.480
 creation,

00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:07.519
 created

00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:08.519
 by an

00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:09.059
 almighty

00:25:09.059 --> 00:25:09.740
 God,

00:25:10.019 --> 00:25:10.740
 who created

00:25:10.740 --> 00:25:11.940
 a perfect

00:25:11.940 --> 00:25:12.700
 order,

00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:15.539
 as the

00:25:15.539 --> 00:25:16.359
 astronauts

00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:17.220
 and those

00:25:17.220 --> 00:25:18.660
 that are

00:25:18.660 --> 00:25:19.039
 in the

00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:19.460
 science

00:25:19.460 --> 00:25:19.920
 world,

00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:20.940
 make their

00:25:20.940 --> 00:25:21.460
 journeys

00:25:21.460 --> 00:25:22.500
 into space,

00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:23.240
 they can

00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:23.599
 make

00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:24.660
 calculations,

00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:26.559
 because they

00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:27.240
 know that

00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:27.779
 there is

00:25:27.779 --> 00:25:28.980
 an orderly

00:25:28.980 --> 00:25:29.839
ness in

00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:31.380
 the universe,

00:25:32.019 --> 00:25:32.720
 they put

00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:33.279
 it down

00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:34.400
 in figures,

00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:35.680
 we can

00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:36.160
 look at

00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:36.819
 the scriptures

00:25:36.819 --> 00:25:37.539
 and say,

00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:39.420
 God created

00:25:39.420 --> 00:25:41.039
 this world,

00:25:41.980 --> 00:25:42.700
 we shouldn't

00:25:42.700 --> 00:25:43.800
 be surprised

00:25:43.800 --> 00:25:44.900
 at the

00:25:44.900 --> 00:25:45.660
 orderliness

00:25:45.660 --> 00:25:46.940
 of the

00:25:46.940 --> 00:25:47.580
 creation

00:25:47.580 --> 00:25:48.259
 order,

00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:49.820
 for we

00:25:49.820 --> 00:25:50.400
 see it in

00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:51.039
 the hand

00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:51.420
 of a

00:25:51.420 --> 00:25:52.180
 not-triune

00:25:52.180 --> 00:25:52.660
 God,

00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:53.920
 who not only

00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:54.580
 made the

00:25:54.580 --> 00:25:54.940
 world,

00:25:55.500 --> 00:25:56.440
 but continues

00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:58.120
 to uphold

00:25:58.120 --> 00:25:58.420
 it,

00:25:59.000 --> 00:25:59.580
 the God

00:25:59.580 --> 00:26:00.340
 of order,

00:26:00.980 --> 00:26:01.720
 who orders

00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:02.800
 creation,

00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:04.279
 an old

00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:04.640
 hymn

00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:06.019
 put it

00:26:06.019 --> 00:26:06.740
 like this,

00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:07.680
 heaven

00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:08.140
 above

00:26:08.140 --> 00:26:09.200
 is

00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:09.600
 softer

00:26:09.600 --> 00:26:10.060
 blue,

00:26:10.600 --> 00:26:11.060
 and earth

00:26:11.060 --> 00:26:11.520
 beneath

00:26:11.520 --> 00:26:11.780
 is

00:26:11.780 --> 00:26:12.140
 sweeter

00:26:12.140 --> 00:26:12.520
 green,

00:26:12.620 --> 00:26:12.759
 that

00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:13.200
 something

00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:13.600
 lives

00:26:13.600 --> 00:26:13.800
 in

00:26:13.800 --> 00:26:14.160
 every

00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:14.620
 hue,

00:26:15.340 --> 00:26:15.600
 that

00:26:15.600 --> 00:26:16.400
 Christless

00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:16.900
 eyes

00:26:16.900 --> 00:26:18.100
 have

00:26:18.100 --> 00:26:18.800
 never

00:26:18.800 --> 00:26:19.640
 seen.

00:26:21.580 --> 00:26:22.500
 We move

00:26:22.500 --> 00:26:23.040
 on to

00:26:23.040 --> 00:26:23.700
 our third

00:26:23.700 --> 00:26:24.160
 point,

00:26:25.120 --> 00:26:25.440
 and that

00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:26.100
 is this,

00:26:27.040 --> 00:26:27.480
 that there's

00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:28.080
 not only

00:26:28.080 --> 00:26:28.940
 God who

00:26:28.940 --> 00:26:29.560
 created,

00:26:30.180 --> 00:26:30.600
 who was

00:26:30.600 --> 00:26:31.220
 perfect,

00:26:32.280 --> 00:26:32.980
 there's not

00:26:32.980 --> 00:26:33.600
 only an

00:26:33.600 --> 00:26:34.300
 order to

00:26:34.300 --> 00:26:35.040
 creation,

00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:35.099
 creation,

00:26:35.980 --> 00:26:36.399
 but there

00:26:36.399 --> 00:26:36.779
 is a

00:26:36.779 --> 00:26:37.500
 creation

00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:38.099
 order,

00:26:39.019 --> 00:26:39.359
 and we

00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:39.779
 have it

00:26:39.779 --> 00:26:40.539
 brought before

00:26:40.539 --> 00:26:40.879
 us,

00:26:40.940 --> 00:26:41.480
 don't we,

00:26:41.779 --> 00:26:42.379
 in these

00:26:42.379 --> 00:26:42.920
 verses.

00:26:43.579 --> 00:26:44.159
 We have

00:26:44.159 --> 00:26:44.899
 a God

00:26:44.899 --> 00:26:46.339
 who rules,

00:26:47.139 --> 00:26:47.879
 we have a

00:26:47.879 --> 00:26:48.579
 God who

00:26:48.579 --> 00:26:49.099
 speaks,

00:26:49.379 --> 00:26:50.000
 a God

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:51.460
 who commands,

00:26:52.019 --> 00:26:52.759
 a God

00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:54.700
 who commanded

00:26:54.700 --> 00:26:55.940
 man to take

00:26:55.940 --> 00:26:57.079
 care of the

00:26:57.079 --> 00:26:57.500
 garden,

00:26:58.599 --> 00:26:59.519
 to refrain

00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:00.299
 from eating

00:27:00.299 --> 00:27:01.059
 of the tree

00:27:01.059 --> 00:27:01.799
 of the knowledge

00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:02.419
 of good

00:27:02.419 --> 00:27:03.119
 and evil,

00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:04.519
 a God

00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:05.359
 who commanded

00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:06.919
 man to be

00:27:06.919 --> 00:27:08.099
 fruitful and

00:27:08.099 --> 00:27:09.159
 to multiply.

00:27:09.879 --> 00:27:10.579
 That was a

00:27:10.579 --> 00:27:11.399
 world as it

00:27:11.399 --> 00:27:12.259
 was, with

00:27:12.259 --> 00:27:13.119
 God in

00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:14.359
 control, with

00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:15.240
 God stating

00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:16.680
 what had to

00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:17.299
 happen.

00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:19.259
 It is his

00:27:19.259 --> 00:27:20.619
 order that he

00:27:20.619 --> 00:27:21.579
 has set in

00:27:21.579 --> 00:27:22.480
 place, that

00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:23.579
 God rules,

00:27:23.879 --> 00:27:24.659
 the triune

00:27:24.659 --> 00:27:25.839
 God, Lord

00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:27.500
 over all.

00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:31.019
 And man

00:27:31.019 --> 00:27:31.740
 and woman

00:27:31.740 --> 00:27:33.379
 were to be

00:27:33.379 --> 00:27:34.779
 in subjection

00:27:34.779 --> 00:27:35.519
 to God.

00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:37.160
 They were

00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:38.200
 to obey

00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:39.400
 the commands

00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:40.400
 of God.

00:27:41.299 --> 00:27:41.920
 And they

00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:42.559
 were to

00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:44.299
 enjoy God.

00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:46.139
 They were

00:27:46.139 --> 00:27:46.960
 to eat of

00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:47.559
 the fruit

00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:48.379
 that God

00:27:48.379 --> 00:27:49.700
 had provided.

00:27:51.299 --> 00:27:51.859
 They were

00:27:51.859 --> 00:27:52.639
 to care

00:27:52.639 --> 00:27:53.660
 for God's

00:27:53.660 --> 00:27:54.440
 creation

00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:55.559
 in the

00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:55.980
 beginning.

00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:57.039
 That was

00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:57.900
 how it

00:27:57.900 --> 00:27:58.500
 was.

00:27:58.960 --> 00:27:59.539
 Man

00:27:59.539 --> 00:28:01.099
 in submission

00:28:01.099 --> 00:28:02.180
 to God

00:28:02.180 --> 00:28:03.319
 in an

00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:04.039
 ordered

00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:05.019
 world

00:28:05.019 --> 00:28:06.180
 that God

00:28:06.180 --> 00:28:07.539
 had made.

00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:09.279
 And man

00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:10.139
 was to live

00:28:10.139 --> 00:28:11.279
 in harmony

00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:12.460
 with God.

00:28:15.019 --> 00:28:15.779
 Harmony

00:28:15.779 --> 00:28:16.619
 existed

00:28:16.619 --> 00:28:17.879
 between God

00:28:17.879 --> 00:28:18.539
 and man

00:28:18.539 --> 00:28:19.700
 and the rest

00:28:19.700 --> 00:28:20.879
 of creation.

00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:21.000
 salvation.

00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:23.780
 In

00:28:23.780 --> 00:28:24.120
 Genesis

00:28:24.120 --> 00:28:25.140
 chapter 3

00:28:25.140 --> 00:28:25.740
 and verse

00:28:25.740 --> 00:28:26.320
 8 we

00:28:26.320 --> 00:28:26.720
 read,

00:28:27.220 --> 00:28:27.700
 The man

00:28:27.700 --> 00:28:28.080
 and his

00:28:28.080 --> 00:28:28.860
 wife heard

00:28:28.860 --> 00:28:29.620
 the sound

00:28:29.620 --> 00:28:30.000
 of the

00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:30.660
 Lord God

00:28:30.660 --> 00:28:31.300
 as he

00:28:31.300 --> 00:28:31.980
 was walking

00:28:31.980 --> 00:28:32.480
 in the

00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:33.640
 garden in

00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:34.360
 the cool

00:28:34.360 --> 00:28:34.820
 of the

00:28:34.820 --> 00:28:35.200
 day.

00:28:38.100 --> 00:28:38.740
 Idyllic.

00:28:40.380 --> 00:28:41.000
 A garden

00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:41.620
 with no

00:28:41.620 --> 00:28:42.720
 weeds or

00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:43.240
 thorns.

00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:45.140
 A garden

00:28:45.140 --> 00:28:47.240
 man being

00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:48.200
 surrounded in

00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:48.780
 that garden

00:28:48.780 --> 00:28:49.240
 by the

00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:50.120
 abundance of

00:28:50.120 --> 00:28:50.600
 God's

00:28:50.600 --> 00:28:51.060
 provision.

00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:53.000
 But I

00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:53.500
 ask the

00:28:53.500 --> 00:28:54.040
 question,

00:28:55.080 --> 00:28:56.060
 how did

00:28:56.060 --> 00:28:56.820
 the man

00:28:56.820 --> 00:28:57.200
 and the

00:28:57.200 --> 00:28:58.180
 woman know

00:28:58.180 --> 00:28:59.160
 that it

00:28:59.160 --> 00:28:59.820
 was God

00:28:59.820 --> 00:29:00.360
 who was

00:29:00.360 --> 00:29:00.960
 walking

00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:01.759
 with them?

00:29:02.980 --> 00:29:03.380
 I would

00:29:03.380 --> 00:29:04.120
 suggest to

00:29:04.120 --> 00:29:05.460
 you that

00:29:05.460 --> 00:29:06.520
 they recognized

00:29:06.520 --> 00:29:07.580
 his footfall.

00:29:08.100 --> 00:29:08.980
 They recognized

00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:09.820
 his footsteps.

00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:10.420
 Why?

00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:11.220
 Because there

00:29:11.220 --> 00:29:12.000
 was fellowship.

00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:13.000
 There was

00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:14.280
 harmony between

00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:15.259
 God and

00:29:15.259 --> 00:29:15.759
 the man

00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:16.339
 and the

00:29:16.339 --> 00:29:16.599
 woman.

00:29:18.220 --> 00:29:18.599
 It's a

00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:19.399
 beautiful picture

00:29:19.399 --> 00:29:19.940
 of what it

00:29:19.940 --> 00:29:20.639
 was at the

00:29:20.639 --> 00:29:21.299
 beginning of

00:29:21.299 --> 00:29:21.639
 time.

00:29:21.940 --> 00:29:22.519
 A God

00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:24.099
 who ordered

00:29:24.099 --> 00:29:25.000
 the world.

00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:26.500
 Where the

00:29:26.500 --> 00:29:27.299
 authority of

00:29:27.299 --> 00:29:27.899
 God was

00:29:27.899 --> 00:29:29.200
 recognized and

00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:29.579
 there was

00:29:29.579 --> 00:29:30.359
 this harmony

00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:31.099
 between the

00:29:31.099 --> 00:29:31.700
 one and

00:29:31.700 --> 00:29:32.180
 the other

00:29:32.180 --> 00:29:33.139
 in a

00:29:33.139 --> 00:29:33.980
 perfect

00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:34.720
 world.

00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:38.819
 What are

00:29:38.819 --> 00:29:39.779
 the applications

00:29:39.779 --> 00:29:40.559
 of what we've

00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:41.039
 been looking

00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:41.619
 at this

00:29:41.619 --> 00:29:41.980
 morning

00:29:41.980 --> 00:29:43.039
 briefly?

00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:45.180
 Well let

00:29:45.180 --> 00:29:45.759
 me make a

00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:46.859
 number of

00:29:46.859 --> 00:29:47.579
 applications.

00:29:48.899 --> 00:29:49.119
 And the

00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:49.740
 first is

00:29:49.740 --> 00:29:50.160
 this.

00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:52.200
 That when we

00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:52.899
 look at the

00:29:52.899 --> 00:29:53.720
 world in

00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:54.460
 which we

00:29:54.460 --> 00:29:56.700
 live, it's

00:29:56.700 --> 00:29:57.259
 a call

00:29:57.259 --> 00:29:58.259
 surely to

00:29:58.259 --> 00:29:58.940
 worship.

00:30:00.779 --> 00:30:01.599
 That's often

00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:02.299
 what happens

00:30:02.299 --> 00:30:02.940
 if you look

00:30:02.940 --> 00:30:03.839
 through scripture.

00:30:05.660 --> 00:30:06.720
 You find the

00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:08.559
 various writers

00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:09.420
 speaking the

00:30:09.420 --> 00:30:10.339
 word of the

00:30:10.339 --> 00:30:10.899
 Lord as

00:30:10.899 --> 00:30:11.480
 they look at

00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:12.139
 creation,

00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:14.199
 they draw

00:30:14.199 --> 00:30:15.159
 us out to

00:30:15.159 --> 00:30:15.779
 look at the

00:30:15.779 --> 00:30:16.579
 God of

00:30:16.579 --> 00:30:17.179
 creation.

00:30:19.019 --> 00:30:19.259
 For

00:30:19.259 --> 00:30:19.779
 example,

00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:20.959
 in Isaiah

00:30:20.959 --> 00:30:22.240
 40 and

00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:23.079
 verses 12

00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:23.859
 to 18,

00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:26.539
 there the

00:30:26.539 --> 00:30:27.359
 writer says,

00:30:27.819 --> 00:30:28.599
 who has

00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:29.939
 measured the

00:30:29.939 --> 00:30:31.519
 waters in

00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:32.119
 the hollow

00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:32.720
 of his

00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:33.319
 hand?

00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:35.659
 who has

00:30:35.659 --> 00:30:36.279
 weighed out

00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:36.960
 the earth

00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:37.980
 in a

00:30:37.980 --> 00:30:38.779
 balance and

00:30:38.779 --> 00:30:39.480
 weighed the

00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:40.839
 mountains on

00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:41.599
 scales?

00:30:43.659 --> 00:30:44.539
 Who is it

00:30:44.539 --> 00:30:45.619
 that regards

00:30:45.619 --> 00:30:46.460
 the nations,

00:30:46.679 --> 00:30:47.159
 not an

00:30:47.159 --> 00:30:47.759
 individual,

00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:48.659
 but the

00:30:48.659 --> 00:30:49.599
 very nations,

00:30:49.899 --> 00:30:50.799
 as a drop

00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:51.679
 in the

00:30:51.679 --> 00:30:52.000
 bucket?

00:30:53.879 --> 00:30:54.240
 And then

00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:54.859
 he asks,

00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:56.079
 to whom

00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:56.599
 can you

00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:57.220
 compare

00:30:57.220 --> 00:30:58.099
 God?

00:30:58.099 --> 00:31:00.980
 creation

00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:02.039
 should call

00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:02.659
 us out

00:31:02.659 --> 00:31:03.639
 in worship

00:31:03.639 --> 00:31:04.639
 and praise

00:31:04.639 --> 00:31:05.619
 to our

00:31:05.619 --> 00:31:06.439
 great and

00:31:06.439 --> 00:31:07.339
 glorious God

00:31:07.339 --> 00:31:08.579
 who made

00:31:08.579 --> 00:31:09.199
 the world

00:31:09.199 --> 00:31:09.919
 in all

00:31:09.919 --> 00:31:10.199
 its

00:31:10.199 --> 00:31:11.000
 perfection.

00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:13.480
 What

00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:13.879
 will the

00:31:13.879 --> 00:31:14.379
 song of

00:31:14.379 --> 00:31:15.000
 eternity

00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:15.379
 be?

00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:17.059
 In

00:31:17.059 --> 00:31:17.519
 Revelation

00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:18.339
 4 and

00:31:18.339 --> 00:31:19.019
 verse 11,

00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:20.799
 we have

00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:21.579
 these words,

00:31:21.959 --> 00:31:22.919
 you are

00:31:22.919 --> 00:31:23.579
 worthy,

00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:24.779
 O Lord

00:31:24.779 --> 00:31:25.539
 our God,

00:31:25.619 --> 00:31:26.119
 to receive

00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:27.319
 glory and

00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:28.079
 honour and

00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:28.659
 power,

00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:29.319
 for you

00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:30.359
 created all

00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:30.859
 things,

00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:31.519
 and by

00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:32.339
 your will

00:31:32.339 --> 00:31:33.039
 they were

00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:34.379
 created and

00:31:34.379 --> 00:31:35.259
 had their

00:31:35.259 --> 00:31:35.759
 being.

00:31:36.879 --> 00:31:37.220
 You see

00:31:37.220 --> 00:31:37.799
 the worship

00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:39.559
 of eternity?

00:31:40.779 --> 00:31:41.379
 A great

00:31:41.379 --> 00:31:42.099
 creator

00:31:42.099 --> 00:31:42.720
 God

00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:44.359
 should cause

00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:45.000
 us all

00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:46.079
 to worship,

00:31:46.460 --> 00:31:47.419
 to bow

00:31:47.419 --> 00:31:48.139
 the knee.

00:31:50.139 --> 00:31:51.240
 The second

00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:51.699
 word of

00:31:51.699 --> 00:31:52.399
 application

00:31:52.399 --> 00:31:53.500
 is this,

00:31:54.319 --> 00:31:54.899
 we should

00:31:54.899 --> 00:31:55.679
 ask

00:31:55.679 --> 00:31:56.659
 ourselves,

00:31:57.220 --> 00:31:57.519
 what

00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:58.539
 has gone

00:31:58.539 --> 00:31:59.279
 wrong?

00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:02.960
 Why is

00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:03.500
 the world

00:32:03.500 --> 00:32:04.440
 in such

00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:05.240
 chaos?

00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:07.619
 Why are

00:32:07.619 --> 00:32:08.839
 there tsunamis?

00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:10.059
 Why

00:32:10.059 --> 00:32:11.400
 typhoons and

00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:12.259
 winds and

00:32:12.259 --> 00:32:13.200
 mudslides?

00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:14.059
 Why are

00:32:14.059 --> 00:32:14.720
 there wars

00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:15.980
 and famines?

00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:18.240
 Why are

00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:18.579
 there the

00:32:18.579 --> 00:32:19.400
 breakup of

00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:19.859
 marriages?

00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:20.940
 Why are

00:32:20.940 --> 00:32:22.079
 there interracial

00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:22.740
 tensions?

00:32:23.299 --> 00:32:24.119
 Why disease

00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:24.319
 these

00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:24.459
 and

00:32:24.459 --> 00:32:25.000
 death?

00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:25.739
 What has

00:32:25.739 --> 00:32:26.819
 happened to

00:32:26.819 --> 00:32:27.759
 this perfect

00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:28.399
 world that

00:32:28.399 --> 00:32:29.739
 God created?

00:32:29.740 --> 00:32:29.920
 did?

00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:33.519
 And the

00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:33.920
 answer

00:32:33.920 --> 00:32:34.680
 surely is

00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:35.120
 this,

00:32:36.220 --> 00:32:37.099
 that man

00:32:37.099 --> 00:32:38.799
 has rebelled

00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:39.440
 against

00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:40.019
 God.

00:32:41.140 --> 00:32:41.740
 The man

00:32:41.740 --> 00:32:42.220
 has said,

00:32:42.339 --> 00:32:42.700
 no, I

00:32:42.700 --> 00:32:43.160
 will not

00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:43.620
 have you

00:32:43.620 --> 00:32:44.140
 to run

00:32:44.140 --> 00:32:44.920
 over me.

00:32:46.500 --> 00:32:47.539
 The order

00:32:47.539 --> 00:32:48.180
 has been

00:32:48.180 --> 00:32:48.900
 reversed.

00:32:49.460 --> 00:32:50.039
 And because

00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:50.640
 the order

00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:51.180
 has been

00:32:51.180 --> 00:32:51.720
 reversed,

00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:52.319
 there is

00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:52.940
 chaos.

00:32:53.299 --> 00:32:53.779
 There is

00:32:53.779 --> 00:32:54.579
 chaos in the

00:32:54.579 --> 00:32:55.019
 nations.

00:32:55.799 --> 00:32:56.059
 There is

00:32:56.059 --> 00:32:56.539
 chaos

00:32:56.539 --> 00:32:57.839
 internationally.

00:32:57.839 --> 00:32:59.939
 Chaos

00:32:59.939 --> 00:33:00.679
 nationally.

00:33:02.159 --> 00:33:02.879
 And chaos

00:33:02.879 --> 00:33:04.099
 so often

00:33:04.099 --> 00:33:05.279
 personally.

00:33:07.980 --> 00:33:09.199
 Sin has

00:33:09.199 --> 00:33:09.919
 entered

00:33:09.919 --> 00:33:11.220
 into this

00:33:11.220 --> 00:33:11.659
 world.

00:33:13.179 --> 00:33:13.679
 And as a

00:33:13.679 --> 00:33:14.159
 result,

00:33:14.980 --> 00:33:15.279
 we have

00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:15.839
 problems

00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:16.579
 ourselves

00:33:16.579 --> 00:33:18.639
 and creation

00:33:18.639 --> 00:33:19.399
 groans.

00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:21.220
 And weeds

00:33:21.220 --> 00:33:22.000
 and thorns

00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:23.119
 became part

00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:23.500
 of our

00:33:23.500 --> 00:33:24.359
 first parents'

00:33:24.539 --> 00:33:25.279
 life and

00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:25.480
 they are

00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:26.299
 part of

00:33:26.299 --> 00:33:27.099
 our lives.

00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:29.419
 and we

00:33:29.419 --> 00:33:30.240
 find Cain

00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:30.959
 killing his

00:33:30.959 --> 00:33:31.319
 brother.

00:33:32.980 --> 00:33:33.439
 And this

00:33:33.439 --> 00:33:34.459
 wonderful world

00:33:34.459 --> 00:33:35.119
 that God

00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:36.899
 made is a

00:33:36.899 --> 00:33:37.659
 wicked world

00:33:37.659 --> 00:33:39.319
 because it

00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:39.959
 rejected

00:33:39.959 --> 00:33:40.779
 God.

00:33:42.679 --> 00:33:43.619
 In this

00:33:43.619 --> 00:33:44.339
 so-called

00:33:44.339 --> 00:33:44.959
 Christian

00:33:44.959 --> 00:33:45.500
 country,

00:33:46.879 --> 00:33:47.500
 we could

00:33:47.500 --> 00:33:47.959
 ask the

00:33:47.959 --> 00:33:48.319
 simple

00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:48.879
 question,

00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:49.599
 why do

00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:50.179
 we bother

00:33:50.179 --> 00:33:51.539
 to lock

00:33:51.539 --> 00:33:51.980
 up our

00:33:51.980 --> 00:33:52.519
 cars?

00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:53.519
 God's

00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:54.519
 love?

00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:57.240
 It's as

00:33:57.240 --> 00:33:57.819
 simple as

00:33:57.819 --> 00:33:58.059
 that,

00:33:58.160 --> 00:33:58.579
 isn't it?

00:34:01.180 --> 00:34:01.799
 The third

00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:02.160
 word of

00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:02.819
 application

00:34:02.819 --> 00:34:05.299
 is this,

00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:07.539
 that only

00:34:07.539 --> 00:34:08.860
 the Elohim,

00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:09.699
 the Triune

00:34:09.699 --> 00:34:10.199
 God,

00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:11.980
 can put

00:34:11.980 --> 00:34:13.219
 the situation

00:34:13.219 --> 00:34:13.980
 right.

00:34:14.980 --> 00:34:15.719
 Only the

00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:16.559
 Lord God

00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:17.239
 Almighty

00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:18.079
 can bring

00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:19.019
 order out

00:34:19.019 --> 00:34:19.400
 of the

00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:20.579
 chaos as

00:34:20.579 --> 00:34:21.099
 he did

00:34:21.099 --> 00:34:21.579
 at the

00:34:21.579 --> 00:34:22.039
 beginning.

00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:25.259
 And thank

00:34:25.259 --> 00:34:26.139
 God that we

00:34:26.139 --> 00:34:27.099
 read in the

00:34:27.099 --> 00:34:28.059
 scriptures again

00:34:28.059 --> 00:34:28.679
 and again

00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:29.839
 of a God

00:34:29.839 --> 00:34:30.799
 of grace.

00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:32.579
 God,

00:34:32.819 --> 00:34:33.500
 the Father,

00:34:33.900 --> 00:34:34.739
 loved the

00:34:34.739 --> 00:34:35.259
 world,

00:34:37.139 --> 00:34:37.799
 that he

00:34:37.799 --> 00:34:38.759
 sent his

00:34:38.759 --> 00:34:39.360
 only

00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:40.279
 son.

00:34:41.460 --> 00:34:42.339
 How do we

00:34:42.339 --> 00:34:43.199
 know about

00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:43.900
 these things?

00:34:44.059 --> 00:34:44.579
 Through the

00:34:44.579 --> 00:34:45.599
 power of

00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:46.039
 God,

00:34:46.299 --> 00:34:46.860
 the Holy

00:34:46.860 --> 00:34:47.380
 Spirit.

00:34:47.380 --> 00:34:48.380
 God,

00:34:48.380 --> 00:34:49.380
 the God,

00:34:49.380 --> 00:34:50.380
 the God,

00:34:50.380 --> 00:34:51.380
 the God,

00:34:51.380 --> 00:34:52.119
 it is the

00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:53.000
 God of

00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:55.300
 order that

00:34:55.300 --> 00:34:55.900
 can bring

00:34:55.900 --> 00:34:57.019
 order out

00:34:57.019 --> 00:34:57.360
 of the

00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:58.119
 chaos of

00:34:58.119 --> 00:34:58.960
 individual

00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:00.160
 lives.

00:35:02.240 --> 00:35:03.220
 And there

00:35:03.220 --> 00:35:04.140
 is evidence

00:35:04.140 --> 00:35:05.780
 that he's

00:35:05.780 --> 00:35:06.599
 already putting

00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:07.539
 things right

00:35:07.539 --> 00:35:08.980
 in individual

00:35:08.980 --> 00:35:09.820
 lives.

00:35:10.380 --> 00:35:11.059
 The very

00:35:11.059 --> 00:35:11.840
 fact that we

00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:12.400
 are here

00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:13.200
 this morning

00:35:13.200 --> 00:35:14.320
 is evidence

00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:14.920
 of that.

00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:15.980
 although we're

00:35:15.980 --> 00:35:16.920
 not perfect,

00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:17.639
 we're not

00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:18.900
 what we

00:35:18.900 --> 00:35:19.860
 once were.

00:35:20.200 --> 00:35:20.780
 And God

00:35:20.780 --> 00:35:22.280
 is recreating

00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:23.300
 us into

00:35:23.300 --> 00:35:24.360
 the likeness

00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:24.740
 of his

00:35:24.740 --> 00:35:25.059
 son,

00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:26.280
 into a

00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:27.420
 perfectness

00:35:27.420 --> 00:35:28.480
 that was

00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:29.320
 lost as a

00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:30.180
 result of

00:35:30.180 --> 00:35:30.659
 the fall.

00:35:33.200 --> 00:35:33.820
 And if that

00:35:33.820 --> 00:35:34.440
 work has

00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:35.559
 begun in us,

00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:37.579
 it is because

00:35:37.579 --> 00:35:38.019
 of the

00:35:38.019 --> 00:35:39.420
 Father who

00:35:39.420 --> 00:35:39.840
 is the

00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:40.380
 architect.

00:35:40.380 --> 00:35:42.140
 it is because

00:35:42.140 --> 00:35:42.700
 of the

00:35:42.700 --> 00:35:43.559
 son who

00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:44.320
 built that

00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:45.140
 relationship

00:35:45.140 --> 00:35:46.300
 with the

00:35:46.300 --> 00:35:47.240
 Father through

00:35:47.240 --> 00:35:47.900
 his death

00:35:47.900 --> 00:35:48.860
 upon the

00:35:48.860 --> 00:35:49.640
 cross of

00:35:49.640 --> 00:35:50.360
 the Calvary.

00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:54.019
 And it

00:35:54.019 --> 00:35:54.840
 is by the

00:35:54.840 --> 00:35:55.720
 Holy Spirit

00:35:55.720 --> 00:35:56.980
 that gives

00:35:56.980 --> 00:35:57.640
 us new

00:35:57.640 --> 00:35:59.440
 life so

00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:00.160
 that we can

00:36:00.160 --> 00:36:00.800
 say if

00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:01.599
 anyone is

00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:02.320
 in Christ,

00:36:02.619 --> 00:36:03.240
 he is a

00:36:03.240 --> 00:36:04.920
 new creation.

00:36:06.059 --> 00:36:06.880
 All things

00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:07.519
 are passed

00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:07.960
 away.

00:36:08.420 --> 00:36:09.059
 Behold,

00:36:09.059 --> 00:36:10.299
 all things

00:36:10.299 --> 00:36:11.360
 are become

00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:11.980
 new.

00:36:14.699 --> 00:36:15.199
 And my

00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:16.079
 final word

00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:17.679
 of application

00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:19.719
 is found

00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:20.480
 in Revelation

00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:22.239
 chapter 21.

00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:25.000
 And here

00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:25.679
 I find

00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:26.799
 great hope.

00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:28.559
 Why?

00:36:29.380 --> 00:36:30.500
 Because I

00:36:30.500 --> 00:36:31.159
 read that

00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:31.960
 this new

00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:32.779
 creation

00:36:32.779 --> 00:36:34.320
 will be

00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:35.059
 accomplished.

00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:35.880
 There's no

00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:37.039
 doubt about

00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:37.559
 it.

00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:39.059
 it will

00:36:39.059 --> 00:36:39.860
 happen.

00:36:41.779 --> 00:36:42.380
 Turn with

00:36:42.380 --> 00:36:42.759
 me to

00:36:42.759 --> 00:36:43.299
 Revelation

00:36:43.299 --> 00:36:44.239
 21.

00:36:48.239 --> 00:36:49.019
 And

00:36:49.019 --> 00:36:49.599
 verse 1

00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:50.299
 reads it

00:36:50.299 --> 00:36:50.900
 thus.

00:36:52.019 --> 00:36:52.759
 Then I

00:36:52.759 --> 00:36:54.360
 saw a

00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:55.279
 new heaven

00:36:55.279 --> 00:36:55.940
 and a

00:36:55.940 --> 00:36:56.799
 new earth.

00:36:57.539 --> 00:36:58.139
 For the

00:36:58.139 --> 00:36:59.019
 first heaven

00:36:59.019 --> 00:36:59.579
 and the

00:36:59.579 --> 00:37:00.340
 first earth

00:37:00.340 --> 00:37:01.059
 had passed

00:37:01.059 --> 00:37:01.460
 away,

00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:02.420
 and there

00:37:02.420 --> 00:37:02.799
 was no

00:37:02.799 --> 00:37:03.799
 longer any

00:37:03.799 --> 00:37:04.139
 sea.

00:37:04.139 --> 00:37:06.339
 I saw

00:37:06.339 --> 00:37:06.900
 the holy

00:37:06.900 --> 00:37:07.379
 city.

00:37:07.980 --> 00:37:08.559
 The new

00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:09.099
 Jerusalem

00:37:09.099 --> 00:37:09.940
 coming down

00:37:09.940 --> 00:37:10.379
 out of

00:37:10.379 --> 00:37:10.980
 heaven from

00:37:10.980 --> 00:37:11.400
 God,

00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:13.599
 prepared a

00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:14.159
 bride,

00:37:14.299 --> 00:37:14.739
 beautifully

00:37:14.739 --> 00:37:15.500
 dressed for

00:37:15.500 --> 00:37:16.039
 her husband.

00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:17.980
 And I

00:37:17.980 --> 00:37:18.719
 heard a loud

00:37:18.719 --> 00:37:20.039
 voice from

00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:20.739
 the throne

00:37:20.739 --> 00:37:21.239
 saying,

00:37:21.940 --> 00:37:22.539
 Now the

00:37:22.539 --> 00:37:23.299
 dwelling of

00:37:23.299 --> 00:37:24.079
 God is

00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:24.739
 with men,

00:37:25.259 --> 00:37:25.679
 and he

00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:26.119
 will live

00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:26.579
 with them.

00:37:27.059 --> 00:37:27.440
 They will

00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:27.980
 be his

00:37:27.980 --> 00:37:28.480
 people,

00:37:28.980 --> 00:37:29.539
 and God

00:37:29.539 --> 00:37:30.420
 himself will

00:37:30.420 --> 00:37:30.900
 be with

00:37:30.900 --> 00:37:31.139
 them,

00:37:31.299 --> 00:37:31.719
 and be

00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:32.599
 their God.

00:37:34.139 --> 00:37:34.879
 He will

00:37:34.879 --> 00:37:35.460
 wipe away

00:37:35.460 --> 00:37:36.460
 every tear

00:37:36.460 --> 00:37:37.059
 from their

00:37:37.059 --> 00:37:37.579
 eyes.

00:37:38.779 --> 00:37:39.099
 There will

00:37:39.099 --> 00:37:39.440
 be no

00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:40.159
 more death,

00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:41.739
 or mourning,

00:37:42.839 --> 00:37:43.779
 or crying,

00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:45.019
 or pain,

00:37:46.019 --> 00:37:46.480
 for the

00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:47.480
 old order

00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:48.219
 of things

00:37:48.219 --> 00:37:48.940
 have passed

00:37:48.940 --> 00:37:49.319
 away.

00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:52.480
 He

00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:53.359
 who was

00:37:53.359 --> 00:37:53.960
 seated on

00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:54.379
 the throne

00:37:54.379 --> 00:37:54.839
 said,

00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:56.199
 I am

00:37:56.199 --> 00:37:56.639
 making

00:37:56.639 --> 00:37:57.460
 everything

00:37:57.460 --> 00:37:58.079
 new.

00:37:59.359 --> 00:37:59.920
 Then he

00:37:59.920 --> 00:38:00.339
 said,

00:38:00.759 --> 00:38:01.119
 Write

00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:01.839
 this down,

00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:03.980
 for these

00:38:03.980 --> 00:38:05.640
 words are

00:38:05.640 --> 00:38:06.500
 trustworthy

00:38:06.500 --> 00:38:09.200
 and true.

00:38:10.720 --> 00:38:11.600
 Order

00:38:11.600 --> 00:38:13.860
 from a

00:38:13.860 --> 00:38:14.400
 triune

00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:14.880
 God,

00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:17.000
 and it

00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:17.880
 will

00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:18.840
 happen.

00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:20.320
 These

00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:21.120
 words

00:38:21.120 --> 00:38:22.260
 are

00:38:22.260 --> 00:38:22.980
 trustworthy.

00:38:24.340 --> 00:38:24.940
 These

00:38:24.940 --> 00:38:25.559
 words

00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:27.100
 are

00:38:27.100 --> 00:38:27.500
 true.

00:38:28.059 --> 00:38:28.440
 Let's

00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:28.680
 pray

00:38:28.680 --> 00:38:29.240
 together.

00:38:29.239 --> 00:38:31.479
 Father,

00:38:31.619 --> 00:38:32.419
 we thank

00:38:32.419 --> 00:38:32.819
 you for

00:38:32.819 --> 00:38:33.399
 your goodness

00:38:33.399 --> 00:38:33.939
 and your

00:38:33.939 --> 00:38:34.339
 grace.

00:38:36.259 --> 00:38:36.739
 We thank

00:38:36.739 --> 00:38:37.099
 you that

00:38:37.099 --> 00:38:37.539
 as we

00:38:37.539 --> 00:38:38.379
 look around

00:38:38.379 --> 00:38:39.019
 we see

00:38:39.019 --> 00:38:39.939
 your majesty,

00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:40.859
 your power,

00:38:41.019 --> 00:38:41.219
 and the

00:38:41.219 --> 00:38:41.739
 things that

00:38:41.739 --> 00:38:42.099
 you have

00:38:42.099 --> 00:38:42.500
 made.

00:38:44.399 --> 00:38:45.059
 But we

00:38:45.059 --> 00:38:45.619
 also see

00:38:45.619 --> 00:38:46.439
 the chaos

00:38:46.439 --> 00:38:47.599
 that comes

00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:48.359
 as a result

00:38:48.359 --> 00:38:48.959
 of sin

00:38:48.959 --> 00:38:49.539
 entering

00:38:49.539 --> 00:38:50.500
 into that

00:38:50.500 --> 00:38:50.979
 perfect

00:38:50.979 --> 00:38:51.399
 world.

00:38:52.839 --> 00:38:53.459
 But thank

00:38:53.459 --> 00:38:53.659
 you,

00:38:53.739 --> 00:38:54.359
 gracious and

00:38:54.359 --> 00:38:54.799
 eternal

00:38:54.799 --> 00:38:55.259
 God,

00:38:55.359 --> 00:38:55.719
 you have

00:38:55.719 --> 00:38:56.299
 not left

00:38:56.299 --> 00:38:56.719
 us in

00:38:56.719 --> 00:38:57.279
 our muddle,

00:38:58.000 --> 00:38:58.299
 you have

00:38:58.300 --> 00:38:58.800
 not left

00:38:58.800 --> 00:38:59.220
 us in

00:38:59.220 --> 00:38:59.480
 our

00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:00.460
 chaos,

00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:01.420
 you have

00:39:01.420 --> 00:39:01.980
 not left

00:39:01.980 --> 00:39:02.240
 us,

00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:02.720
 O Lord,

00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:04.039
 to destroy

00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:04.820
 ourselves,

00:39:05.700 --> 00:39:06.080
 but you

00:39:06.080 --> 00:39:06.640
 have sent

00:39:06.640 --> 00:39:07.300
 your Son,

00:39:07.420 --> 00:39:07.820
 the Lord

00:39:07.820 --> 00:39:08.820
 Jesus Christ,

00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:09.920
 into this

00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:10.680
 world to

00:39:10.680 --> 00:39:11.700
 redeem this

00:39:11.700 --> 00:39:12.260
 world, to

00:39:12.260 --> 00:39:13.019
 redeem us

00:39:13.019 --> 00:39:14.000
 as individuals,

00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:16.220
 to redeem us

00:39:16.220 --> 00:39:17.640
 as a people

00:39:17.640 --> 00:39:18.300
 of God,

00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:19.240
 as your

00:39:19.240 --> 00:39:19.920
 church.

00:39:21.120 --> 00:39:21.519
 And we

00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:22.000
 thank you

00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:22.420
 that you

00:39:22.420 --> 00:39:23.220
 are making

00:39:23.220 --> 00:39:24.320
 everything new.

00:39:25.019 --> 00:39:25.500
 We thank

00:39:25.500 --> 00:39:26.080
 you that we

00:39:26.080 --> 00:39:26.600
 can look

00:39:26.600 --> 00:39:27.519
 forward to

00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:28.019
 a new

00:39:28.019 --> 00:39:28.699
 heaven and

00:39:28.699 --> 00:39:29.039
 a new

00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:29.719
 earth wherein

00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:30.280
 dwells

00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:30.920
 righteousness.

00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:32.340
 We can

00:39:32.340 --> 00:39:33.039
 look forward

00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:34.159
 to the

00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:34.920
 dispatching

00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:35.860
 of death

00:39:35.860 --> 00:39:36.820
 and disease

00:39:36.820 --> 00:39:37.579
 and famine

00:39:37.579 --> 00:39:39.940
 because,

00:39:40.139 --> 00:39:40.400
 O Lord,

00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:40.880

00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:42.079
 mighty work.

00:39:43.059 --> 00:39:43.400
 And we

00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:43.840
 want to

00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:44.280
 give you

00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:44.940
 all the

00:39:44.940 --> 00:39:45.639
 glory and

00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:46.860
 praise of

00:39:46.860 --> 00:39:47.500
 our hearts

00:39:47.500 --> 00:39:48.139
 this morning.

00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:49.699
 We pray,

00:39:49.900 --> 00:39:50.280
 O Lord,

00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:51.360
 that as we

00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:52.800
 enter this

00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:53.400
 world,

00:39:53.659 --> 00:39:54.039
 as we

00:39:54.039 --> 00:39:54.739
 enter this

00:39:54.739 --> 00:39:55.420
 new year,

00:39:55.420 --> 00:39:57.220
 that you

00:39:57.220 --> 00:39:57.780
 will enable

00:39:57.780 --> 00:39:58.420
 us to

00:39:58.420 --> 00:39:58.840
 live

00:39:58.840 --> 00:39:59.400
 with you,

00:39:59.920 --> 00:40:00.260
 that you

00:40:00.260 --> 00:40:00.960

 all-wise

00:40:17.720 --> 00:40:18.200
 God.

00:40:18.840 --> 00:40:19.440
 Help us

00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:20.220
 to this end,
