WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.480
 well it's already been such a great day

00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:08.259
 gathering together

00:00:08.259 --> 00:00:12.419
 celebrating all that the Lord has been doing in Sean's life

00:00:12.419 --> 00:00:15.240
 listening to Ephesians 3

00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.600
 so faithfully taught by Ian

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:19.320
 praying together

00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:22.059
 what a great day it's already been

00:00:22.059 --> 00:00:26.359
 and I hope what we do tonight won't spoil that at all

00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:30.839
 just want to read a few verses from Psalm 105

00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:32.280
 and then I'll pray

00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.280
 and then we'll get to work because we've just got a mere

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.700
 thousand odd verses to get through this evening

00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:41.920
 the writer of Psalm 105 says this

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:43.140
 verse 16

00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:45.739
 he called down famine on the land

00:00:45.739 --> 00:00:49.200
 and destroyed all their supplies of food

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:50.960
 and he sent a man before them

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:51.620
 Joseph

00:00:51.620 --> 00:00:53.719
 sold as a slave

00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.500
 they bruised his feet with shackles

00:00:56.500 --> 00:00:59.140
 his neck was put in irons

00:00:59.140 --> 00:01:02.579
 till what he foretold came to pass

00:01:02.579 --> 00:01:05.519
 till the word of the Lord proved him true

00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.519
 the king sent and released him

00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:10.640
 the ruler of people set him free

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.560
 he made him master of his household

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:15.560
 ruler over all he possessed

00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.840
 to instruct his princes as he pleased

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.359
 and teach his elders

00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:23.620
 wisdom

00:01:23.620 --> 00:01:25.400
 let's pray

00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:26.460
 together

00:01:26.460 --> 00:01:36.180
 father god we thank you so much for your word

00:01:36.180 --> 00:01:39.400
 father we thank you it's complete

00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.439
 father thank you that it is all useful to us

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:47.079
 for correcting and admonishing

00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:48.120
 for teaching

00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.840
 and for training us in righteousness

00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:56.640
 and so lord as we come to study a big section of it tonight

00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.879
 father would you enable us to see the wood from the trees

00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.560
 father would you teach us wonderful things about the god that you are

00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:09.900
 and father may we leave here with a better handle

00:02:09.900 --> 00:02:13.039
 on what you are saying to each of us

00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.319
 that we might go and live differently this week

00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:19.539
 as those that are known by the living God

00:02:19.539 --> 00:02:22.920
 those that have been reconciled to the living God by the Lord Jesus

00:02:22.920 --> 00:02:28.180
 and those indwelt by the living God by the Holy Spirit

00:02:28.180 --> 00:02:32.340
 so father bless us and help us

00:02:32.340 --> 00:02:34.240
 teach us

00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:39.340
 father inspire us by your spirit we pray in Jesus name

00:02:39.340 --> 00:02:40.379
 amen

00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:44.560
 so tonight we're starting a new series

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.039
 we're not really starting it

00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:47.980
 we're going to have like the warm up

00:02:47.980 --> 00:02:49.439
 to our new series

00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.240
 Joseph and the Gospel of Many Colors

00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.460
 if you're color blind that will just look weird

00:02:54.460 --> 00:02:55.560
 to you

00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:59.539
 it is an incredible series

00:02:59.539 --> 00:03:03.500
 the story of Joseph captures many hearts

00:03:03.500 --> 00:03:06.479
 many of us would have heard it countless times in Sunday school

00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.459
 particularly when we just got some new coloring pens in

00:03:09.459 --> 00:03:14.939
 and could do the coat in about 16 colors that Woolworths were selling

00:03:14.939 --> 00:03:16.259
 back in the day

00:03:16.259 --> 00:03:19.439
 we would have also seen it portrayed in music

00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:26.899
 in probably with Jason Donovan or Philip Schofield or somebody else

00:03:26.900 --> 00:03:30.659
 it's a story that we all know really well

00:03:30.659 --> 00:03:33.480
 but I do think it is probably the story

00:03:33.480 --> 00:03:36.900
 that we tend to abstract from the rest of the Bible

00:03:36.900 --> 00:03:41.040
 they almost treat it as like a lay-by where we go for a little while

00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:42.599
 to hear about a great story

00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.700
 about a dysfunctional family

00:03:44.700 --> 00:03:47.540
 about a jealous set of brothers

00:03:47.540 --> 00:03:49.259
 who sell their brother

00:03:49.259 --> 00:03:51.080
 who goes off on a journey

00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:52.340
 who ends up in prison

00:03:52.340 --> 00:03:54.640
 and by the end of the story

00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:56.879
 he's the Prime Minister

00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.819
 of the most powerful country in the world

00:03:59.819 --> 00:04:02.759
 but I think if we're going to get the most out of this series

00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:04.719
 we have to place the life of Joseph

00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.960
 within the context of Genesis

00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:11.620
 and within the broad sweep of the entire Bible

00:04:11.620 --> 00:04:12.259
 or else

00:04:12.259 --> 00:04:15.199
 it may just be a 10-week study in moralism

00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:16.399
 that we're going to say

00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:17.980
 you should all be more like Joseph

00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:20.140
 and less like his brothers

00:04:20.140 --> 00:04:22.819
 you should all use your positions of authority

00:04:22.819 --> 00:04:24.800
 like Joseph did in Potiphar's house

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.620
 and don't whatever you do be like Potiphar's wife

00:04:27.620 --> 00:04:29.439
 it's going to be be like him

00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:30.560
 don't be like her

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.780
 unless we can place it

00:04:32.780 --> 00:04:35.879
 within God's grand story

00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.439
 if we can get a handle on Genesis

00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:42.560
 get a broad overview of how it fits together

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.180
 then I hope it'll make our appreciation of Joseph all the more

00:04:46.180 --> 00:04:47.800
 and our sermons in Joseph

00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:49.000
 just a little bit thicker

00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:51.959
 that transcend a few lovely choruses

00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.420
 by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice

00:04:55.420 --> 00:04:58.420
 but it does feel a bit like

00:04:58.420 --> 00:05:02.199
 making a canapé out of a rhinoceros

00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:06.180
 taking a huge chunk of Bible

00:05:06.180 --> 00:05:08.000
 and trying to condense it down

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:09.300
 in the short time that we have

00:05:09.300 --> 00:05:12.240
 into something that's useful and digestible

00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:13.939
 so bear with me

00:05:13.939 --> 00:05:15.360
 we're all going to have to do a warm-up

00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:16.939
 if you've got your Bible open

00:05:16.939 --> 00:05:17.520
 go like this

00:05:17.520 --> 00:05:19.040
 because we're going to have to turn a lot of pages

00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.460
 if you're in your iPhone

00:05:21.460 --> 00:05:22.120
 go like this

00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.000
 because you're going to do a lot of scrolling down

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.439
 and a lot of scrolling up

00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:28.340
 but we do know don't we

00:05:28.340 --> 00:05:30.780
 that beginnings are important

00:05:30.780 --> 00:05:32.500
 beginnings are important

00:05:32.500 --> 00:05:33.660
 we have phrases like

00:05:33.660 --> 00:05:36.600
 start as you mean to go on

00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:39.920
 Mary Poppins

00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:41.040
 that great philosopher

00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.620
 a job well done

00:05:43.620 --> 00:05:45.280
 a job well begun

00:05:45.280 --> 00:05:47.120
 is nearly half done

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:48.540
 a job well begun

00:05:48.540 --> 00:05:49.860
 is nearly half done

00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:51.100
 Plato

00:05:51.100 --> 00:05:52.520
 a great Disney character

00:05:52.520 --> 00:05:56.280
 the beginning is the most important part

00:05:56.280 --> 00:05:58.680
 of any work

00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.320
 if anyone's ever built anything

00:06:01.320 --> 00:06:02.879
 particularly if it was a house

00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.580
 how you start the foundations

00:06:04.580 --> 00:06:06.259
 are really going to be the foundation

00:06:06.259 --> 00:06:07.640
 of everything else you build

00:06:07.640 --> 00:06:09.180
 if you make them shallow

00:06:09.180 --> 00:06:11.340
 Jesus even tells a story

00:06:11.340 --> 00:06:11.759
 doesn't he

00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.400
 about foundations built in sand

00:06:13.400 --> 00:06:14.860
 the rain came down

00:06:14.860 --> 00:06:15.819
 and the floods came up

00:06:15.819 --> 00:06:17.000
 and the house on the sand

00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:18.340
 fell flat

00:06:18.340 --> 00:06:20.420
 the opening lines of a book

00:06:20.420 --> 00:06:21.000
 are important

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.120
 if we don't judge it by the cover

00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:24.920
 we're going to read the opening lines

00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:26.439
 and decide whether we're going to continue

00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.620
 did you know

00:06:29.620 --> 00:06:31.079
 there's a trend in London

00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:32.960
 that on the same day

00:06:32.960 --> 00:06:34.500
 you register your birth

00:06:34.500 --> 00:06:36.759
 with the registrar

00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.920
 you also put your son or daughter's name down

00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:40.800
 on the waiting list

00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.680
 for the best nurseries in town

00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:44.399
 because we know

00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:44.779
 don't we

00:06:44.779 --> 00:06:45.759
 that we want to give people

00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:46.759
 the best start in life

00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:48.439
 the best beginning

00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:49.500
 they can have

00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:51.560
 it may surprise you to know

00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.519
 but I spent a disproportionate amount of time

00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:54.300
 on the introduction

00:06:54.300 --> 00:06:55.259
 to a sermon

00:06:55.259 --> 00:06:57.319
 because I think

00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:58.420
 if I can grab your attention

00:06:58.420 --> 00:06:59.579
 in the first two minutes

00:06:59.579 --> 00:07:00.819
 you might just

00:07:00.819 --> 00:07:01.639
 stay with me

00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:02.339
 for the next

00:07:02.339 --> 00:07:03.259
 five

00:07:03.259 --> 00:07:05.139
 how you begin your day

00:07:05.139 --> 00:07:05.839
 is important

00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:07.240
 if I come

00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:08.120
 and watch you

00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:08.699
 get ready

00:07:08.699 --> 00:07:09.980
 that sounds weird

00:07:09.980 --> 00:07:12.039
 if I come

00:07:12.039 --> 00:07:12.659
 and see

00:07:12.659 --> 00:07:13.699
 you're the beginning

00:07:13.699 --> 00:07:14.300
 of your day

00:07:14.300 --> 00:07:15.099
 I can pretty much

00:07:15.099 --> 00:07:15.959
 predict how the rest

00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:16.939
 of your day will go

00:07:16.939 --> 00:07:18.459
 if you start the day

00:07:18.459 --> 00:07:19.879
 rushed and stressed

00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:21.300
 and tired

00:07:21.300 --> 00:07:22.519
 then it's going to be

00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:23.199
 a bad day

00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:24.480
 I can tell you that

00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:26.539
 if you start the day

00:07:26.539 --> 00:07:27.699
 slothful and lazy

00:07:27.699 --> 00:07:29.439
 and you hit the snooze button

00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:30.759
 at least five times

00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:32.079
 I dare say your day

00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:33.860
 will be largely unproductive

00:07:33.860 --> 00:07:36.180
 if you start your day

00:07:36.180 --> 00:07:38.060
 prayerful with the Bible open

00:07:38.060 --> 00:07:39.300
 thankful to the Lord

00:07:39.300 --> 00:07:40.779
 for this great gift

00:07:40.779 --> 00:07:41.680
 that he's given you

00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.759
 it may just be a fruitful

00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:44.779
 day

00:07:44.779 --> 00:07:47.139
 beginnings are important

00:07:47.139 --> 00:07:49.560
 beginnings set the trajectory

00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:51.099
 for what follows

00:07:51.099 --> 00:07:53.159
 so when we begin

00:07:53.159 --> 00:07:54.659
 our Bibles in Genesis

00:07:54.659 --> 00:07:56.899
 if we can understand it

00:07:56.899 --> 00:08:00.199
 it will be a massive help to us

00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:01.899
 because it is from Genesis

00:08:01.899 --> 00:08:03.579
 that everything else

00:08:03.579 --> 00:08:04.819
 sprouts and develops

00:08:04.819 --> 00:08:07.579
 what God starts to reveal

00:08:07.579 --> 00:08:08.360
 in Genesis

00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:09.699
 he develops

00:08:09.699 --> 00:08:10.779
 and ends

00:08:10.779 --> 00:08:11.939
 in the book of Revelation

00:08:11.939 --> 00:08:14.039
 it's from Genesis

00:08:14.039 --> 00:08:15.599
 that we get our cosmology

00:08:15.599 --> 00:08:17.259
 the doctrine of creation

00:08:17.259 --> 00:08:18.139
 it's here we get our

00:08:18.139 --> 00:08:19.800
 the beginnings of our theology

00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:21.219
 our doctrine of God

00:08:21.219 --> 00:08:22.419
 it's here we get our

00:08:22.419 --> 00:08:23.060
 anthropology

00:08:23.060 --> 00:08:24.480
 our doctrine of man

00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:25.480
 here we get our

00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:26.560
 harmatology

00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:27.699
 our doctrine of sin

00:08:27.699 --> 00:08:28.800
 our soteriology

00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:30.060
 our doctrine of salvation

00:08:30.060 --> 00:08:31.379
 our Christology

00:08:31.379 --> 00:08:32.460
 the beginnings of our

00:08:32.460 --> 00:08:33.679
 doctrine on Christ

00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:35.000
 it's here we get our

00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:35.919
 pneumatology

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:37.500
 our doctrine of the Holy Spirit

00:08:37.500 --> 00:08:38.940
 our eschatology

00:08:38.940 --> 00:08:40.159
 where it's all heading

00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:42.299
 and the doctrine of the last things

00:08:42.299 --> 00:08:44.240
 Genesis has the dawning of death

00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:45.700
 the institution of marriage

00:08:45.700 --> 00:08:47.220
 the initiation of covenant

00:08:47.220 --> 00:08:49.559
 the theology of work

00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:51.080
 the biblical role of manhood

00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:51.740
 and womanhood

00:08:51.740 --> 00:08:53.740
 the first proclamation of the gospel

00:08:53.740 --> 00:08:55.460
 the first allusions to the Trinity

00:08:55.460 --> 00:08:57.320
 and the first sacrifice

00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:00.560
 and many other prototypical events

00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:03.320
 that will all be opened and developed

00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.540
 during the rest of the Bible

00:09:05.540 --> 00:09:08.460
 it's no coincidence that our

00:09:08.460 --> 00:09:09.920
 in our world

00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:12.700
 the most ferocious attacks

00:09:12.700 --> 00:09:14.560
 by those that are anti-theists

00:09:14.560 --> 00:09:15.620
 are in the book of Genesis

00:09:15.620 --> 00:09:19.320
 because if we can

00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:21.399
 dismiss how it all began

00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.240
 then everything else unravels

00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:26.820
 if we can do away with God as creator

00:09:26.820 --> 00:09:28.060
 we can live how we like

00:09:28.060 --> 00:09:32.779
 so we've got 50 chapters

00:09:32.779 --> 00:09:36.220
 1,533 verses

00:09:36.220 --> 00:09:37.980
 some 40,000 words

00:09:37.980 --> 00:09:40.139
 on a time period

00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:41.339
 from the creation of the world

00:09:41.339 --> 00:09:42.799
 to about 1600 BC

00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:45.980
 we've got 21 minutes

00:09:45.980 --> 00:09:48.720
 so we're going to try to

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.279
 wrestle this dense

00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:51.839
 long theological tone

00:09:51.839 --> 00:09:53.279
 into submission

00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:55.759
 fingers at the ready

00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:59.039
 Genesis actually splits

00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:01.059
 into two great acts

00:10:01.059 --> 00:10:02.459
 two great acts

00:10:02.460 --> 00:10:03.379
 and the first one is

00:10:03.379 --> 00:10:05.019
 chapters 1 to 11

00:10:05.019 --> 00:10:08.080
 and they're called pre-history

00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.460
 and this is what happens

00:10:10.460 --> 00:10:11.580
 in pre-history

00:10:11.580 --> 00:10:13.420
 chapter 1

00:10:13.420 --> 00:10:15.240
 and the first bit of chapter 2

00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:16.000
 is creation

00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:17.980
 that's the bit we know

00:10:17.980 --> 00:10:20.580
 God spoke and it was

00:10:20.580 --> 00:10:22.139
 God spoke and it was

00:10:22.139 --> 00:10:23.040
 and it was good

00:10:23.040 --> 00:10:23.920
 and it was good

00:10:23.920 --> 00:10:25.120
 and it was very good

00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:26.560
 and then in chapter 2

00:10:26.560 --> 00:10:28.560
 we get a second run at creation

00:10:28.560 --> 00:10:29.480
 this time looking at

00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:30.720
 the origins of man

00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.660
 how God created man

00:10:32.660 --> 00:10:34.019
 and he saw that it was

00:10:34.019 --> 00:10:35.139
 very good

00:10:35.139 --> 00:10:37.740
 chapter 3 deals with

00:10:37.740 --> 00:10:38.820
 the fall of man

00:10:38.820 --> 00:10:42.279
 man has one rule

00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:45.139
 he cannot eat from the tree

00:10:45.139 --> 00:10:46.580
 and he's got a choice

00:10:46.580 --> 00:10:48.340
 whether he obeys or disobeys

00:10:48.340 --> 00:10:49.779
 and he gets it wrong

00:10:49.779 --> 00:10:51.439
 and so do all of we

00:10:51.439 --> 00:10:54.500
 and then chapter 4

00:10:54.500 --> 00:10:56.339
 to the end of pre-history

00:10:56.339 --> 00:10:57.620
 is the relentless spread

00:10:57.620 --> 00:10:58.339
 of evil

00:10:58.339 --> 00:11:00.259
 and this happens in

00:11:00.259 --> 00:11:01.459
 three big events

00:11:01.459 --> 00:11:02.500
 Cain and Abel

00:11:02.500 --> 00:11:05.779
 Noah and the flood

00:11:05.779 --> 00:11:08.299
 and then the tower

00:11:08.299 --> 00:11:09.679
 of Babel

00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.199
 is this initial

00:11:12.199 --> 00:11:13.759
 spark of sin

00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.120
 as Eve

00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:17.059
 and then Adam

00:11:17.059 --> 00:11:18.679
 eat the forbidden fruit

00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:19.519
 from the tree

00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:22.259
 it spreads

00:11:22.259 --> 00:11:23.759
 like a disease

00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:24.620
 and a virus

00:11:24.620 --> 00:11:27.120
 through every iota

00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:30.100
 of society

00:11:30.100 --> 00:11:31.259
 and then we get history

00:11:31.259 --> 00:11:32.720
 which takes 12 to 50

00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:34.000
 and it's around

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.139
 three main characters

00:11:36.139 --> 00:11:37.779
 12 to 25

00:11:37.779 --> 00:11:38.939
 gives us Abraham

00:11:38.940 --> 00:11:40.300
 or Abraham

00:11:40.300 --> 00:11:44.000
 25 to 36

00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:45.340
 gives us Jacob

00:11:45.340 --> 00:11:48.280
 and 37

00:11:48.280 --> 00:11:49.840
 to 50

00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:50.880
 in multi-colors

00:11:50.880 --> 00:11:51.680
 gives us Joseph

00:11:51.680 --> 00:11:54.760
 and Isaac fits just here

00:11:54.760 --> 00:11:55.840
 he's kind of spread

00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:58.060
 between the Abraham narrative

00:11:58.060 --> 00:12:00.420
 and the Jacob narrative

00:12:00.420 --> 00:12:01.560
 and act 1

00:12:01.560 --> 00:12:02.880
 is like a panorama

00:12:02.880 --> 00:12:04.980
 it's like the broad view

00:12:04.980 --> 00:12:06.340
 of how it all got started

00:12:06.340 --> 00:12:08.560
 and of how it all went wrong

00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:09.699
 and then

00:12:09.699 --> 00:12:10.819
 in history

00:12:10.819 --> 00:12:12.479
 God goes zooming

00:12:12.479 --> 00:12:13.759
 into one family

00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:15.579
 to one family

00:12:15.579 --> 00:12:16.359
 that he chose

00:12:16.359 --> 00:12:17.959
 out of Ur of the Chaldeans

00:12:17.959 --> 00:12:19.899
 to be his chosen people

00:12:19.899 --> 00:12:22.079
 through whom he would bless

00:12:22.079 --> 00:12:23.659
 and bless the rest of the world

00:12:23.659 --> 00:12:25.479
 and start to set in motion

00:12:25.479 --> 00:12:27.500
 the most outrageous rescue plan

00:12:27.500 --> 00:12:29.079
 ever conceived

00:12:29.079 --> 00:12:33.000
 Genesis is a strange book

00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:34.219
 it starts with God

00:12:34.219 --> 00:12:35.079
 and his creation

00:12:35.079 --> 00:12:36.659
 and ends with Joseph

00:12:36.659 --> 00:12:38.159
 in a coffin in Egypt

00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:39.519
 that's how broad

00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.120
 and how specific

00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:41.899
 it gets

00:12:41.899 --> 00:12:43.919
 to get a good grasp of it

00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:44.480
 we're going to need

00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:45.100
 a vehicle

00:12:45.100 --> 00:12:46.519
 to guide us through

00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:47.379
 and Gordon Fee

00:12:47.379 --> 00:12:48.259
 says in his book

00:12:48.259 --> 00:12:49.059
 reading the Bible

00:12:49.059 --> 00:12:49.980
 book by book

00:12:49.980 --> 00:12:50.899
 he says

00:12:50.899 --> 00:12:52.219
 the first of the five books

00:12:52.219 --> 00:12:52.740
 of Moses

00:12:52.740 --> 00:12:53.879
 relates to the beginning

00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:54.559
 of everything

00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:55.899
 and then focuses

00:12:55.899 --> 00:12:56.779
 on God's call

00:12:56.779 --> 00:12:57.299
 and covenant

00:12:57.299 --> 00:12:58.100
 with Abraham

00:12:58.100 --> 00:12:59.179
 and his seed

00:12:59.179 --> 00:13:00.659
 promising to make them

00:13:00.659 --> 00:13:01.759
 a numerous people

00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:03.039
 and give them

00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:03.779
 the land

00:13:03.779 --> 00:13:04.879
 to live in

00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:06.500
 so all I want to do

00:13:06.500 --> 00:13:07.139
 this evening

00:13:07.139 --> 00:13:08.279
 is I want to trace

00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:08.960
 two themes

00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:09.679
 through Genesis

00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:11.559
 the first one is land

00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:13.439
 and the second one is seed

00:13:13.439 --> 00:13:14.320
 I want to see what God

00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:15.360
 is doing with land

00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:16.919
 and then I want to see

00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:17.559
 what's happening

00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:18.480
 with this word

00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:19.340
 seed

00:13:19.340 --> 00:13:21.500
 you all look as excited

00:13:21.500 --> 00:13:22.179
 as I am

00:13:22.179 --> 00:13:23.740
 so let's crack

00:13:23.740 --> 00:13:24.559
 on

00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.059
 start with this

00:13:28.059 --> 00:13:30.100
 start with land

00:13:30.100 --> 00:13:32.720
 land in creation

00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:35.860
 land

00:13:35.860 --> 00:13:36.720
 in

00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:37.639
 creation

00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:39.320
 chapter 1

00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:40.139
 verse 9

00:13:40.139 --> 00:13:41.960
 says that God

00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:42.820
 formed

00:13:42.820 --> 00:13:43.680
 the land

00:13:43.680 --> 00:13:44.480
 let the water

00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:45.240
 under the sky

00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:45.759
 be gathered

00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:46.620
 to one place

00:13:46.620 --> 00:13:48.100
 and let dry ground

00:13:48.100 --> 00:13:48.580
 appear

00:13:48.580 --> 00:13:49.840
 and it was so

00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:51.480
 God called the dry ground

00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:52.440
 land

00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:54.100
 and the gathered waters

00:13:54.100 --> 00:13:55.000
 he called seas

00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:55.879
 and God saw

00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:57.399
 that it was good

00:13:57.399 --> 00:13:58.519
 then it goes on

00:13:58.519 --> 00:13:58.879
 to say

00:13:58.879 --> 00:13:59.560
 in the immediately

00:13:59.560 --> 00:14:00.399
 next verses

00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:01.779
 that God made land

00:14:01.779 --> 00:14:03.339
 produce vegetation

00:14:03.339 --> 00:14:04.959
 seed bearing plants

00:14:04.959 --> 00:14:06.600
 to grow

00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:08.620
 and to spread

00:14:08.620 --> 00:14:11.159
 and then in chapter 1

00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:11.919
 verse 24

00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:13.019
 on the land

00:14:13.019 --> 00:14:14.419
 let the land

00:14:14.419 --> 00:14:15.939
 produce living creatures

00:14:15.939 --> 00:14:17.480
 according to their kinds

00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:18.919
 the livestock

00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:19.779
 the creatures

00:14:19.779 --> 00:14:20.579
 that move along

00:14:20.579 --> 00:14:21.120
 the ground

00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:22.799
 and the wild animals

00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:23.600
 each according

00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:24.379
 to its kind

00:14:24.379 --> 00:14:25.759
 and it's also

00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:26.519
 on day 6

00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:27.559
 that he makes man

00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:28.279
 and there's something

00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:29.459
 very interesting here

00:14:29.459 --> 00:14:30.159
 that we should pause

00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:30.799
 and look at

00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:32.339
 that there's only

00:14:32.339 --> 00:14:33.279
 two days

00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.159
 in the 6th of creation

00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:36.639
 where God speaks twice

00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:38.899
 the first one

00:14:38.899 --> 00:14:39.579
 is day 3

00:14:39.579 --> 00:14:41.059
 where land

00:14:41.059 --> 00:14:42.659
 becomes life

00:14:42.659 --> 00:14:44.879
 where land

00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:45.699
 becomes life

00:14:45.699 --> 00:14:46.539
 where inanimate

00:14:46.539 --> 00:14:47.620
 becomes animate

00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:48.359
 animate

00:14:48.359 --> 00:14:50.719
 where land

00:14:50.719 --> 00:14:51.659
 becomes vegetation

00:14:51.659 --> 00:14:52.539
 and he speaks twice

00:14:52.539 --> 00:14:53.099
 again in

00:14:53.099 --> 00:14:54.219
 chapter 6

00:14:54.219 --> 00:14:55.879
 day 6

00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:58.340
 where we get animals

00:14:58.340 --> 00:14:59.820
 and then humanity

00:14:59.820 --> 00:15:01.659
 these are special days

00:15:01.659 --> 00:15:02.980
 where God speaks twice

00:15:02.980 --> 00:15:05.059
 making inanimate

00:15:05.059 --> 00:15:05.539
 animate

00:15:05.539 --> 00:15:06.820
 and then making

00:15:06.820 --> 00:15:08.080
 animal

00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:09.000
 man

00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.620
 God

00:15:11.620 --> 00:15:12.700
 formed the land

00:15:12.700 --> 00:15:13.220
 and then God

00:15:13.220 --> 00:15:14.120
 filled the land

00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:14.919
 with animals

00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:17.360
 and then he says

00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:18.759
 to the pinnacle

00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:19.580
 of his creation

00:15:19.580 --> 00:15:20.100
 man

00:15:20.100 --> 00:15:21.440
 in verse 28

00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:23.260
 be fruitful

00:15:23.260 --> 00:15:24.320
 in increasing number

00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:25.940
 fill the land

00:15:25.940 --> 00:15:27.800
 and subdue it

00:15:27.800 --> 00:15:29.660
 he then says

00:15:29.660 --> 00:15:30.440
 in chapter 2

00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:31.320
 verse 7

00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:32.600
 that man

00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:33.600
 was formed

00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:34.500
 from the dust

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:35.980
 of the land

00:15:35.980 --> 00:15:37.300
 then the Lord

00:15:37.300 --> 00:15:38.020
 formed a man

00:15:38.020 --> 00:15:38.920
 from the dust

00:15:38.920 --> 00:15:39.880
 of the land

00:15:39.880 --> 00:15:42.400
 and breathed

00:15:42.400 --> 00:15:43.400
 into his nostrils

00:15:43.400 --> 00:15:44.040
 the breath

00:15:44.040 --> 00:15:44.780
 of life

00:15:44.780 --> 00:15:45.820
 and the man

00:15:45.820 --> 00:15:46.980
 became a living

00:15:46.980 --> 00:15:47.820
 being

00:15:47.820 --> 00:15:49.520
 in chapter 2

00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:50.240
 verse 15

00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:50.960
 the Lord

00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:51.879
 took the man

00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:52.840
 and put him

00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:53.220
 to work

00:15:53.220 --> 00:15:53.840
 in the garden

00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:54.559
 of Eden

00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:56.019
 to work it

00:15:56.019 --> 00:15:56.740
 and take care

00:15:56.740 --> 00:15:57.179
 of it

00:15:57.179 --> 00:15:58.059
 God formed

00:15:58.059 --> 00:15:58.399
 the land

00:15:58.399 --> 00:15:59.019
 God filled

00:15:59.019 --> 00:15:59.419
 the land

00:15:59.419 --> 00:16:00.019
 God said

00:16:00.019 --> 00:16:01.059
 multiply

00:16:01.059 --> 00:16:01.720
 and spread

00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:02.319
 out across

00:16:02.319 --> 00:16:02.899
 the land

00:16:02.899 --> 00:16:04.620
 man was formed

00:16:04.620 --> 00:16:05.360
 from the dust

00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:06.100
 of the land

00:16:06.100 --> 00:16:07.199
 man was placed

00:16:07.199 --> 00:16:07.799
 in Eden

00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:08.819
 to work

00:16:08.819 --> 00:16:09.939
 the land

00:16:09.939 --> 00:16:12.639
 it all

00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:13.659
 starts so

00:16:13.659 --> 00:16:14.279
 well

00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:15.939
 but then

00:16:15.939 --> 00:16:16.759
 chapter 3

00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:17.980
 comes along

00:16:17.980 --> 00:16:20.379
 when the land

00:16:20.379 --> 00:16:21.340
 is cursed

00:16:21.340 --> 00:16:23.879
 look at verse 17

00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:25.340
 because you

00:16:25.340 --> 00:16:26.039
 listened to your

00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:26.759
 wife and ate

00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:27.200
 the fruit

00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:27.960
 from the tree

00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:28.980
 about which

00:16:28.980 --> 00:16:29.639
 I commanded

00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:30.620
 you

00:16:30.620 --> 00:16:31.720
 you must not

00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:32.379
 eat from it

00:16:32.379 --> 00:16:33.639
 cursed is the

00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:34.379
 land

00:16:34.379 --> 00:16:35.560
 because of you

00:16:35.560 --> 00:16:37.019
 through painful

00:16:37.019 --> 00:16:37.840
 toil you will

00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:39.120
 eat food

00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:39.539
 from it

00:16:39.539 --> 00:16:40.300
 all the days

00:16:40.300 --> 00:16:41.200
 of your life

00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:43.039
 chapter 3

00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:43.779
 verse 18

00:16:43.779 --> 00:16:44.659
 the land

00:16:44.659 --> 00:16:45.279
 bites back

00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:45.960
 it will produce

00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:46.600
 thorns and

00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:47.659
 thistles for you

00:16:47.659 --> 00:16:48.740
 and you will

00:16:48.740 --> 00:16:49.860
 eat the plants

00:16:49.860 --> 00:16:51.299
 of the field

00:16:51.299 --> 00:16:53.659
 chapter 3

00:16:53.659 --> 00:16:54.419
 verse 19

00:16:54.419 --> 00:16:54.959
 by the sweat

00:16:54.959 --> 00:16:55.500
 of your brow

00:16:55.500 --> 00:16:55.839
 you will

00:16:55.839 --> 00:16:56.939
 eat your food

00:16:56.939 --> 00:16:58.419
 until you

00:16:58.419 --> 00:16:59.159
 return to the

00:16:59.159 --> 00:16:59.439
 ground

00:16:59.439 --> 00:17:00.179
 since from it

00:17:00.179 --> 00:17:00.860
 you were taken

00:17:00.860 --> 00:17:02.079
 for dust

00:17:02.079 --> 00:17:02.600
 you are

00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:03.579
 and dust

00:17:03.579 --> 00:17:04.619
 you will

00:17:04.619 --> 00:17:05.240
 return

00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:06.879
 the land

00:17:06.879 --> 00:17:07.440
 is cursed

00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:07.960
 the land

00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:08.899
 bites back

00:17:08.899 --> 00:17:10.039
 and man

00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:10.619
 will return

00:17:10.619 --> 00:17:11.259
 to the dust

00:17:11.259 --> 00:17:12.019
 of the land

00:17:12.019 --> 00:17:13.139
 from which

00:17:13.139 --> 00:17:13.839
 he was created

00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:14.759
 the perfect

00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:15.980
 harmony

00:17:15.980 --> 00:17:16.900
 purpose

00:17:16.900 --> 00:17:17.559
 and provision

00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:18.319
 of creation

00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:20.000
 is spoiled

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:20.759
 and tainted

00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:21.440
 and twisted

00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:22.960
 by the fall

00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:24.660
 and then it

00:17:24.660 --> 00:17:25.400
 spreads

00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:26.579
 it spreads

00:17:26.579 --> 00:17:27.400
 absolutely

00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:28.140
 everywhere

00:17:28.140 --> 00:17:28.779
 we get

00:17:28.779 --> 00:17:30.019
 Cain murdering

00:17:30.019 --> 00:17:30.559
 Abel

00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:32.799
 and by the time

00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:33.259
 we get to

00:17:33.259 --> 00:17:34.259
 chapter 6

00:17:34.259 --> 00:17:36.779
 we see

00:17:36.779 --> 00:17:38.920
 all the thoughts

00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:39.500
 of man

00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:40.339
 were only

00:17:40.339 --> 00:17:41.000
 evil

00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:41.940
 all the time

00:17:41.940 --> 00:17:44.380
 chapter 6

00:17:44.380 --> 00:17:44.960
 verse 5

00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:45.440
 the Lord

00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:46.400
 saw how great

00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:47.039
 the wickedness

00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:47.600
 of the human

00:17:47.600 --> 00:17:48.279
 race had become

00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:49.000
 on the earth

00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:50.059
 and that every

00:17:50.059 --> 00:17:51.019
 inclination of the

00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:51.700
 thoughts of the

00:17:51.700 --> 00:17:52.420
 human heart

00:17:52.420 --> 00:17:53.680
 was only

00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:54.220
 evil

00:17:54.220 --> 00:17:55.039
 all the time

00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:56.360
 and God

00:17:56.360 --> 00:17:57.400
 regretted

00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:58.779
 he had made

00:17:58.779 --> 00:17:59.500
 human beings

00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:00.279
 on the earth

00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:01.660
 and his heart

00:18:01.660 --> 00:18:02.180
 was deeply

00:18:02.180 --> 00:18:02.620
 troubled

00:18:02.620 --> 00:18:03.920
 spoiled

00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:06.500
 one bit

00:18:06.500 --> 00:18:07.440
 of disobedience

00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:08.320
 spreads

00:18:08.320 --> 00:18:09.560
 we get

00:18:09.560 --> 00:18:10.140
 murder

00:18:10.140 --> 00:18:11.420
 and then we

00:18:11.420 --> 00:18:12.220
 get this

00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:13.740
 everyone's

00:18:13.740 --> 00:18:14.500
 only thinking

00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:15.060
 and doing

00:18:15.060 --> 00:18:15.480
 evil

00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:16.920
 all the time

00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:18.259
 and so God

00:18:18.259 --> 00:18:18.840
 wants to press

00:18:18.840 --> 00:18:19.380
 reset

00:18:19.380 --> 00:18:21.580
 the idea

00:18:21.580 --> 00:18:22.259
 of the flood

00:18:22.259 --> 00:18:22.779
 comes

00:18:22.779 --> 00:18:23.840
 and chapter 6

00:18:23.840 --> 00:18:24.380
 verse 8

00:18:24.380 --> 00:18:24.900
 gives us

00:18:24.900 --> 00:18:25.620
 this spark

00:18:25.620 --> 00:18:26.920
 of a reset

00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:27.759
 and a recreation

00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:28.440
 but Noah

00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:29.340
 found favour

00:18:29.340 --> 00:18:30.519
 in the eyes

00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:31.100
 of the Lord

00:18:31.100 --> 00:18:33.640
 evil spreads

00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:34.900
 chapter 7

00:18:34.900 --> 00:18:35.620
 verse 21

00:18:35.620 --> 00:18:36.160
 the land

00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:36.880
 is flooded

00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:37.660
 it's

00:18:37.660 --> 00:18:38.580
 de-creation

00:18:38.580 --> 00:18:39.840
 we start

00:18:39.840 --> 00:18:40.220
 Genesis

00:18:40.220 --> 00:18:41.280
 with the

00:18:41.280 --> 00:18:41.900
 spirit of God

00:18:41.900 --> 00:18:42.500
 hovering over

00:18:42.500 --> 00:18:43.020
 the waters

00:18:43.020 --> 00:18:43.620
 of the deep

00:18:43.620 --> 00:18:43.920
 but now

00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:44.440
 the waters

00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:45.060
 of the deep

00:18:45.060 --> 00:18:45.840
 return

00:18:45.840 --> 00:18:46.320
 and cover

00:18:46.320 --> 00:18:46.960
 the land

00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:48.100
 as God

00:18:48.100 --> 00:18:48.960
 de-creates

00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:49.820
 and resets

00:18:49.820 --> 00:18:51.040
 creation

00:18:51.040 --> 00:18:53.700
 only Noah

00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:54.620
 was left

00:18:54.620 --> 00:18:56.880
 chapter 7

00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:57.660
 verse 23

00:18:57.660 --> 00:18:59.020
 only Noah

00:18:59.020 --> 00:18:59.620
 was left

00:18:59.620 --> 00:19:00.259
 and those

00:19:00.259 --> 00:19:01.120
 with him

00:19:01.120 --> 00:19:01.980
 in the ark

00:19:01.980 --> 00:19:03.040
 and so we get

00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:03.399
 this really

00:19:03.399 --> 00:19:04.379
 interesting parallel

00:19:04.379 --> 00:19:05.059
 between Noah

00:19:05.059 --> 00:19:05.700
 and Joseph

00:19:05.700 --> 00:19:07.220
 Noah preserves

00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:07.899
 human life

00:19:07.899 --> 00:19:08.359
 during the

00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:09.180
 great flood

00:19:09.180 --> 00:19:11.119
 Joseph

00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:11.779
 preserves

00:19:11.779 --> 00:19:12.420
 human life

00:19:12.420 --> 00:19:12.920
 during the

00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:14.200
 great famine

00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:15.819
 there seems

00:19:15.819 --> 00:19:16.500
 to be a

00:19:16.500 --> 00:19:16.899
 slight

00:19:16.899 --> 00:19:17.839
 symmetry

00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:19.279
 to the role

00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:19.700
 that each

00:19:19.700 --> 00:19:19.980
 of them

00:19:19.980 --> 00:19:20.519
 are playing

00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:22.059
 chapter 9

00:19:22.059 --> 00:19:22.759
 verse 1

00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:23.480
 humanity

00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:24.519
 is reset

00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:26.119
 that creation

00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:26.619
 mandate

00:19:26.619 --> 00:19:27.279
 goes out

00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:27.799
 again to

00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:28.180
 Noah

00:19:28.180 --> 00:19:29.559
 chapter 9

00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:29.960
 verse 1

00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:30.600
 be fruitful

00:19:30.600 --> 00:19:31.259
 in increasing

00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:31.660
 number

00:19:31.660 --> 00:19:32.360
 and fill

00:19:32.360 --> 00:19:33.539
 the land

00:19:33.539 --> 00:19:36.299
 but we see

00:19:36.299 --> 00:19:36.980
 that the reset

00:19:36.980 --> 00:19:38.140
 isn't going

00:19:38.140 --> 00:19:38.519
 as well

00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:38.880
 as we'd

00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:39.360
 hoped

00:19:39.360 --> 00:19:40.960
 chapter 9

00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:41.759
 verse 20

00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:43.100
 Noah

00:19:43.100 --> 00:19:43.700
 a man

00:19:43.700 --> 00:19:44.579
 of the land

00:19:44.579 --> 00:19:45.500
 proceeded

00:19:45.500 --> 00:19:46.000
 to plant

00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:46.640
 a vineyard

00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:47.940
 when he

00:19:47.940 --> 00:19:48.539
 drank some

00:19:48.539 --> 00:19:49.200
 of its wine

00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:49.720
 he became

00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:50.140
 drunk

00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:50.539
 and lay

00:19:50.539 --> 00:19:51.120
 uncovered

00:19:51.120 --> 00:19:52.460
 inside his

00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:52.819
 tent

00:19:52.819 --> 00:19:54.380
 isn't it

00:19:54.380 --> 00:19:54.880
 interesting

00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:55.440
 the symmetry

00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:56.319
 there between

00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:57.960
 Adam and even

00:19:57.960 --> 00:19:58.620
 the garden

00:19:58.620 --> 00:19:59.259
 getting into

00:19:59.259 --> 00:19:59.759
 trouble with

00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:00.100
 the fruit

00:20:00.100 --> 00:20:00.680
 of the land

00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:01.440
 and now

00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:02.480
 Noah again

00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:04.460
 getting into

00:20:04.460 --> 00:20:04.980
 trouble with

00:20:04.980 --> 00:20:05.360
 the fruit

00:20:05.360 --> 00:20:06.240
 of the land

00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:07.960
 planting a

00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:08.360
 vineyard

00:20:08.360 --> 00:20:09.079
 getting drunk

00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:09.640
 and passing

00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:10.340
 out naked

00:20:10.340 --> 00:20:11.420
 in his

00:20:11.420 --> 00:20:11.799
 tent

00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:13.079
 it seems

00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:13.940
 that sin

00:20:13.940 --> 00:20:14.940
 is more

00:20:14.940 --> 00:20:15.380
 than just

00:20:15.380 --> 00:20:16.019
 environmental

00:20:16.019 --> 00:20:18.779
 it seems

00:20:18.779 --> 00:20:19.500
 that the reset

00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:20.279
 didn't work

00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:21.299
 because unfortunately

00:20:21.299 --> 00:20:22.220
 in Noah doing

00:20:22.220 --> 00:20:22.940
 a geographical

00:20:22.940 --> 00:20:24.620
 he took himself

00:20:24.620 --> 00:20:25.299
 with himself

00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:27.039
 and this ingrained

00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:27.799
 sin that had

00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:28.379
 spread to

00:20:28.379 --> 00:20:29.159
 every iota

00:20:29.159 --> 00:20:29.879
 of humanity

00:20:29.879 --> 00:20:30.619
 travelled with

00:20:30.619 --> 00:20:30.839
 him

00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:32.220
 so even on

00:20:32.220 --> 00:20:32.680
 Ararat

00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:34.700
 he's getting

00:20:34.700 --> 00:20:35.259
 into trouble

00:20:35.259 --> 00:20:35.700
 and making

00:20:35.700 --> 00:20:36.519
 bad choices

00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:37.700
 it's true

00:20:37.700 --> 00:20:38.099
 for each

00:20:38.099 --> 00:20:38.899
 of us

00:20:38.899 --> 00:20:40.720
 sin in our

00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:41.440
 lives is not

00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:41.940
 because we're

00:20:41.940 --> 00:20:42.639
 being infected

00:20:42.639 --> 00:20:43.279
 from outside

00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:43.879
 it's because

00:20:43.879 --> 00:20:44.480
 we're broken

00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:45.039
 inside

00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:46.740
 and until we

00:20:46.740 --> 00:20:47.379
 get that

00:20:47.379 --> 00:20:49.299
 we'll only ever

00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:50.500
 be asking

00:20:50.500 --> 00:20:51.420
 God to change

00:20:51.420 --> 00:20:52.220
 our circumstance

00:20:52.220 --> 00:20:54.039
 and what God

00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:54.659
 needs to do

00:20:54.659 --> 00:20:55.240
 is change our

00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:55.799
 hearts

00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:57.139
 because we're

00:20:57.139 --> 00:20:57.879
 so tainted

00:20:57.879 --> 00:20:58.700
 and infected

00:20:58.700 --> 00:21:00.440
 by sin

00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:02.159
 then we get

00:21:02.159 --> 00:21:02.779
 to Babel

00:21:02.779 --> 00:21:03.259
 in chapter

00:21:03.259 --> 00:21:03.759
 11

00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:05.319
 and God

00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:06.159
 says spread

00:21:06.159 --> 00:21:06.740
 out

00:21:06.740 --> 00:21:08.220
 fill the

00:21:08.220 --> 00:21:08.799
 land

00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:10.539
 and the

00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:11.039
 people in

00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:11.480
 verse 4

00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:12.279
 said no

00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:13.839
 they find

00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:14.299
 the plain

00:21:14.299 --> 00:21:14.960
 of Shinar

00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:16.220
 they build

00:21:16.220 --> 00:21:16.680
 a temple

00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:17.299
 and they say

00:21:17.299 --> 00:21:17.859
 they build

00:21:17.859 --> 00:21:18.240
 a tower

00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:18.680
 and they say

00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:19.839
 come let us

00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:20.500
 build ourselves

00:21:20.500 --> 00:21:21.019
 a city

00:21:21.019 --> 00:21:21.680
 with a tower

00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:22.240
 that reaches

00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:22.960
 to the heavens

00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:24.440
 so that we

00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:25.000
 may make

00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:25.400
 a name

00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:25.960
 for ourselves

00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:26.579
 otherwise

00:21:26.579 --> 00:21:28.100
 we will be

00:21:28.100 --> 00:21:28.819
 scattered over

00:21:28.819 --> 00:21:29.259
 the face

00:21:29.259 --> 00:21:29.779
 of the whole

00:21:29.779 --> 00:21:29.980
 earth

00:21:29.980 --> 00:21:30.799
 disobedience

00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:31.240
 again

00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:33.420
 God says

00:21:33.420 --> 00:21:33.940
 spread out

00:21:33.940 --> 00:21:34.240
 and fill

00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:34.720
 the land

00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:36.360
 and they say

00:21:36.360 --> 00:21:36.720
 no

00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:37.980
 let's build

00:21:37.980 --> 00:21:38.440
 a tower

00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:39.160
 to literally

00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:39.799
 reach to the

00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:40.039
 heavens

00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:40.579
 so we can

00:21:40.579 --> 00:21:41.259
 totally do

00:21:41.259 --> 00:21:41.700
 away with

00:21:41.700 --> 00:21:42.019
 God

00:21:42.019 --> 00:21:43.500
 and again

00:21:43.500 --> 00:21:43.920
 be the

00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:44.420
 masters

00:21:44.420 --> 00:21:45.660
 of our

00:21:45.660 --> 00:21:46.319
 own lives

00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:47.079
 the gods

00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:48.340
 to our

00:21:48.340 --> 00:21:48.779
 own

00:21:48.779 --> 00:21:49.579
 selves

00:21:49.579 --> 00:21:50.799
 but in

00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:51.379
 chapter 11

00:21:51.379 --> 00:21:51.939
 verse 9

00:21:51.939 --> 00:21:52.859
 God sees

00:21:52.859 --> 00:21:53.939
 he comes

00:21:53.939 --> 00:21:54.259
 down

00:21:54.259 --> 00:21:55.039
 he confuses

00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:55.859
 the language

00:21:55.859 --> 00:21:56.939
 and they're

00:21:56.939 --> 00:21:57.519
 scattered

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:58.919
 over the

00:21:58.919 --> 00:21:59.319
 whole

00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:00.240
 world

00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:01.339
 the human

00:22:01.339 --> 00:22:02.279
 disobedience

00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:03.000
 won't thwart

00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:03.559
 the plans

00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:04.199
 of God

00:22:04.199 --> 00:22:05.539
 that his

00:22:05.539 --> 00:22:06.720
 creation

00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:07.259
 might

00:22:07.259 --> 00:22:09.059
 be indwelt

00:22:09.059 --> 00:22:09.960
 by his

00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:10.480
 people

00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:12.439
 and then the

00:22:12.439 --> 00:22:13.319
 narrative slows

00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:14.139
 down a lot

00:22:14.139 --> 00:22:15.099
 in chapter 12

00:22:15.099 --> 00:22:16.119
 moving from

00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:17.000
 these big

00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:18.039
 global

00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:18.899
 vistas

00:22:18.900 --> 00:22:20.019
 to one

00:22:20.019 --> 00:22:20.540
 family

00:22:20.540 --> 00:22:22.240
 and we

00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:22.440
 get

00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:23.040
 Abraham

00:22:23.040 --> 00:22:26.019
 chapter 12

00:22:26.019 --> 00:22:26.480
 verse 1

00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:26.840
 the Lord

00:22:26.840 --> 00:22:27.340
 said to

00:22:27.340 --> 00:22:27.960
 Abraham

00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:28.580
 go from

00:22:28.580 --> 00:22:29.500
 your land

00:22:29.500 --> 00:22:30.740
 your people

00:22:30.740 --> 00:22:31.080
 and your

00:22:31.080 --> 00:22:31.580
 father's

00:22:31.580 --> 00:22:32.060
 household

00:22:32.060 --> 00:22:32.560
 to the

00:22:32.560 --> 00:22:33.120
 land

00:22:33.120 --> 00:22:34.080
 I will

00:22:34.080 --> 00:22:34.759
 show you

00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:37.259
 go to

00:22:37.259 --> 00:22:37.780
 the land

00:22:37.780 --> 00:22:38.100
 I will

00:22:38.100 --> 00:22:38.860
 show you

00:22:38.860 --> 00:22:40.200
 and as we

00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:40.620
 read in

00:22:40.620 --> 00:22:40.960
 Hebrews

00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:41.380
 this is

00:22:41.380 --> 00:22:41.820
 credited

00:22:41.820 --> 00:22:42.640
 to Abraham

00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:44.000
 as righteousness

00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:44.460
 that his

00:22:44.460 --> 00:22:45.080
 faith

00:22:45.080 --> 00:22:46.560
 was credited

00:22:46.560 --> 00:22:47.220
 to him

00:22:47.220 --> 00:22:48.420
 as righteousness

00:22:48.420 --> 00:22:48.840
 that he

00:22:48.840 --> 00:22:49.060
 left

00:22:49.060 --> 00:22:49.519
 everything

00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:50.060
 he knew

00:22:50.060 --> 00:22:50.860
 to obey

00:22:50.860 --> 00:22:51.580
 a God

00:22:51.580 --> 00:22:52.519
 who spoke

00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:53.080
 to him

00:22:53.080 --> 00:22:55.460
 he gets

00:22:55.460 --> 00:22:55.720
 a little

00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:56.460
 sidetracked

00:22:56.460 --> 00:22:56.880
 in chapter

00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:57.360
 12

00:22:57.360 --> 00:22:58.060
 verse 10

00:22:58.060 --> 00:22:58.980
 that there's

00:22:58.980 --> 00:22:59.420
 a famine

00:22:59.420 --> 00:23:00.019
 in the land

00:23:00.019 --> 00:23:00.360
 that he's

00:23:00.360 --> 00:23:00.820
 going through

00:23:00.820 --> 00:23:01.420
 so he goes

00:23:01.420 --> 00:23:02.120
 down to

00:23:02.120 --> 00:23:02.539
 Egypt

00:23:02.539 --> 00:23:03.180
 to live

00:23:03.180 --> 00:23:03.980
 there for

00:23:03.980 --> 00:23:04.360
 a while

00:23:04.360 --> 00:23:04.800
 because of

00:23:04.800 --> 00:23:05.259
 the famine

00:23:05.259 --> 00:23:06.180
 there he gets

00:23:06.180 --> 00:23:06.900
 into all sorts

00:23:06.900 --> 00:23:07.360
 of trouble

00:23:07.360 --> 00:23:07.940
 trying to say

00:23:07.940 --> 00:23:08.460
 Sarah that

00:23:08.460 --> 00:23:09.080
 his wife

00:23:09.080 --> 00:23:09.560
 is actually

00:23:09.560 --> 00:23:10.259
 his sister

00:23:10.259 --> 00:23:12.420
 it's always

00:23:12.420 --> 00:23:12.800
 going to get

00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:13.119
 you into

00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:13.539
 trouble

00:23:13.539 --> 00:23:17.500
 and again

00:23:17.500 --> 00:23:17.779
 it's

00:23:17.779 --> 00:23:18.440
 interesting

00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:20.960
 because during

00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:21.579
 a famine

00:23:21.579 --> 00:23:22.259
 Abraham

00:23:22.259 --> 00:23:22.960
 goes to

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:23.379
 Egypt

00:23:23.379 --> 00:23:24.879
 obviously

00:23:24.879 --> 00:23:25.639
 the hero

00:23:25.639 --> 00:23:26.019
 that we're

00:23:26.019 --> 00:23:26.220
 going to

00:23:26.220 --> 00:23:26.740
 learn about

00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:27.299
 Joseph

00:23:27.299 --> 00:23:28.099
 during a

00:23:28.099 --> 00:23:28.480
 famine

00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:30.460
 goes down

00:23:30.460 --> 00:23:31.039
 to Egypt

00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:31.539
 not by

00:23:31.539 --> 00:23:32.259
 choice

00:23:32.259 --> 00:23:33.919
 but in

00:23:33.919 --> 00:23:34.720
 chapter 26

00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:35.339
 we learn

00:23:35.339 --> 00:23:36.039
 about Isaac

00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:36.460
 and there's

00:23:36.460 --> 00:23:36.879
 a famine

00:23:36.879 --> 00:23:38.759
 and God

00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:39.339
 says to him

00:23:39.339 --> 00:23:39.980
 whatever you

00:23:39.980 --> 00:23:40.400
 do

00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:42.279
 don't go

00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:42.720
 down to

00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:43.339
 Egypt

00:23:43.339 --> 00:23:45.039
 chapter 26

00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:45.480
 verse 2

00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:45.960
 do not

00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:46.380
 go down

00:23:46.380 --> 00:23:47.160
 to Egypt

00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:48.519
 live in

00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:48.880
 the land

00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:49.220
 where I

00:23:49.220 --> 00:23:49.539
 tell you

00:23:49.539 --> 00:23:49.860
 to live

00:23:49.860 --> 00:23:50.380
 stay in

00:23:50.380 --> 00:23:50.759
 this land

00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:51.099
 for a

00:23:51.099 --> 00:23:51.400
 while

00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:52.120
 and I

00:23:52.120 --> 00:23:52.460
 will be

00:23:52.460 --> 00:23:52.980
 with you

00:23:52.980 --> 00:23:53.380
 and will

00:23:53.380 --> 00:23:54.240
 bless you

00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:55.940
 seems to

00:23:55.940 --> 00:23:56.240
 be something

00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:57.180
 really interesting

00:23:57.180 --> 00:23:57.740
 there going

00:23:57.740 --> 00:23:58.799
 on in

00:23:58.799 --> 00:23:59.160
 the life

00:23:59.160 --> 00:23:59.799
 of Isaac

00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:02.160
 and yet

00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:02.579
 back to

00:24:02.579 --> 00:24:03.240
 Abraham

00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:05.559
 gets a

00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:05.940
 covenant

00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:06.880
 ratified in

00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:07.620
 chapter 15

00:24:07.620 --> 00:24:08.140
 I am the

00:24:08.140 --> 00:24:08.539
 Lord your

00:24:08.539 --> 00:24:08.940
 God who

00:24:08.940 --> 00:24:09.279
 brought you

00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:09.640
 out of

00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:10.100
 the

00:24:10.100 --> 00:24:10.780
 Chaldeans

00:24:10.780 --> 00:24:11.660
 to give

00:24:11.660 --> 00:24:12.180
 you this

00:24:12.180 --> 00:24:12.480
 land

00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:12.920
 to take

00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:13.360
 possession

00:24:13.360 --> 00:24:14.400
 of it

00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:14.580
 when

00:24:14.580 --> 00:24:15.060
 Abraham

00:24:15.060 --> 00:24:15.540
 arrives

00:24:15.540 --> 00:24:15.800
 in the

00:24:15.800 --> 00:24:16.140
 land

00:24:16.140 --> 00:24:16.759
 God

00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:17.000
 says

00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:17.259
 you've

00:24:17.259 --> 00:24:17.700
 arrived

00:24:17.700 --> 00:24:18.180
 and one

00:24:18.180 --> 00:24:18.360
 day

00:24:18.360 --> 00:24:18.560
 this

00:24:18.560 --> 00:24:18.720
 will

00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:18.980
 all

00:24:18.980 --> 00:24:19.140
 be

00:24:19.140 --> 00:24:19.620
 yours

00:24:19.620 --> 00:24:21.400
 but in

00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:22.400
 chapter 15

00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:23.700
 verses 13

00:24:23.700 --> 00:24:24.340
 to 16

00:24:24.340 --> 00:24:25.000
 we get the

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:25.540
 beginnings

00:24:25.540 --> 00:24:26.740
 of the

00:24:26.740 --> 00:24:27.360
 idea that

00:24:27.360 --> 00:24:28.160
 Egypt is

00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:28.420
 going to

00:24:28.420 --> 00:24:28.780
 play a

00:24:28.780 --> 00:24:29.140
 role

00:24:29.140 --> 00:24:32.100
 chapter 15

00:24:32.100 --> 00:24:32.840
 verse 13

00:24:32.840 --> 00:24:33.259
 then the

00:24:33.259 --> 00:24:33.800
 Lord said

00:24:33.800 --> 00:24:34.200
 to him

00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:34.940
 know for

00:24:34.940 --> 00:24:35.360
 certain

00:24:35.360 --> 00:24:35.759
 that for

00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:36.720
 400 years

00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:36.940
 your

00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:37.620
 descendants

00:24:37.620 --> 00:24:38.880
 will be

00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:39.460
 strangers

00:24:39.460 --> 00:24:39.860
 in a

00:24:39.860 --> 00:24:40.240
 country

00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:40.480
 not

00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:40.740
 their

00:24:40.740 --> 00:24:41.079
 own

00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:42.299
 and that

00:24:42.299 --> 00:24:42.440
 they

00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:42.779
 will be

00:24:42.779 --> 00:24:43.380
 enslaved

00:24:43.380 --> 00:24:43.880
 and ill

00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:44.180
 treated

00:24:44.180 --> 00:24:44.620
 there

00:24:44.620 --> 00:24:45.660
 and I

00:24:45.660 --> 00:24:46.180
 will punish

00:24:46.180 --> 00:24:46.759
 the nation

00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:47.279
 they serve

00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:47.860
 as slaves

00:24:47.860 --> 00:24:48.920
 and afterwards

00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:49.579
 they will come

00:24:49.579 --> 00:24:50.220
 out with great

00:24:50.220 --> 00:24:50.740
 possessions

00:24:50.740 --> 00:24:52.559
 you however

00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:53.360
 will go to

00:24:53.360 --> 00:24:54.120
 your ancestors

00:24:54.120 --> 00:24:54.700
 in peace

00:24:54.700 --> 00:24:55.279
 and be buried

00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:55.840
 at a good

00:24:55.840 --> 00:24:56.860
 old age

00:24:56.860 --> 00:24:57.980
 in the fourth

00:24:57.980 --> 00:24:58.480
 generation

00:24:58.480 --> 00:24:59.200
 your descendants

00:24:59.200 --> 00:24:59.740
 will come

00:24:59.740 --> 00:25:00.340
 back here

00:25:00.340 --> 00:25:01.500
 for the sin

00:25:01.500 --> 00:25:01.819
 of the

00:25:01.819 --> 00:25:02.420
 Amorites

00:25:02.420 --> 00:25:03.079
 has not yet

00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:03.600
 reached

00:25:03.600 --> 00:25:04.600
 its full

00:25:04.600 --> 00:25:04.980
 measure

00:25:04.980 --> 00:25:08.140
 God says

00:25:08.140 --> 00:25:08.380
 I'm going

00:25:08.380 --> 00:25:08.680
 to give

00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:08.980
 you this

00:25:08.980 --> 00:25:09.259
 land

00:25:09.259 --> 00:25:09.759
 Abraham

00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:11.539
 or

00:25:11.539 --> 00:25:12.140
 Abraham

00:25:12.140 --> 00:25:12.660
 by this

00:25:12.660 --> 00:25:13.000
 point

00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:14.720
 I'm going

00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:14.900
 to give

00:25:14.900 --> 00:25:15.220
 you this

00:25:15.220 --> 00:25:15.480
 land

00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:16.380
 but before

00:25:16.380 --> 00:25:16.819
 you take

00:25:16.819 --> 00:25:17.220
 possession

00:25:17.220 --> 00:25:17.640
 of it

00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:18.019
 fully

00:25:18.019 --> 00:25:18.420
 you're going

00:25:18.420 --> 00:25:18.620
 to go

00:25:18.620 --> 00:25:19.360
 to Egypt

00:25:19.360 --> 00:25:21.039
 for 400

00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:21.740
 years

00:25:21.740 --> 00:25:23.360
 and as we

00:25:23.360 --> 00:25:23.799
 learn in

00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:24.120
 Exodus

00:25:24.120 --> 00:25:24.539
 when we

00:25:24.539 --> 00:25:24.900
 did it

00:25:24.900 --> 00:25:26.319
 this oppression

00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:27.059
 in Egypt

00:25:27.059 --> 00:25:27.480
 is going

00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:27.900
 to teach

00:25:27.900 --> 00:25:28.259
 God's

00:25:28.259 --> 00:25:28.559
 people

00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:29.059
 what their

00:25:29.059 --> 00:25:29.460
 God is

00:25:29.460 --> 00:25:29.660
 like

00:25:29.660 --> 00:25:29.940
 that he

00:25:29.940 --> 00:25:30.460
 is strong

00:25:30.460 --> 00:25:31.120
 and powerful

00:25:31.120 --> 00:25:31.559
 that he

00:25:31.559 --> 00:25:32.440
 redeems

00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:33.440
 that he

00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:34.360
 rescues

00:25:34.360 --> 00:25:35.220
 and he

00:25:35.220 --> 00:25:35.640
 does it

00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:35.980
 with his

00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:36.480
 mighty

00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:37.319
 outstretched

00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:38.259
 hand

00:25:38.259 --> 00:25:39.900
 against the

00:25:39.900 --> 00:25:40.240
 Pharaoh

00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:40.759
 but see

00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:41.319
 as well

00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:43.440
 that the

00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:44.019
 promised land

00:25:44.019 --> 00:25:44.340
 is a

00:25:44.340 --> 00:25:44.720
 gracious

00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:45.079
 gift

00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:45.700
 of God

00:25:45.700 --> 00:25:47.319
 but also

00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:48.319
 the promised

00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:48.799
 land is

00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:49.680
 severe judgment

00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:50.120
 on the

00:25:50.120 --> 00:25:50.880
 Amorites

00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:52.440
 they're not

00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:52.960
 going to use

00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:53.660
 it well

00:25:53.660 --> 00:25:56.120
 that their

00:25:56.120 --> 00:25:56.720
 wickedness

00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:57.319
 will only

00:25:57.319 --> 00:25:58.180
 increase

00:25:58.180 --> 00:25:59.600
 and that's

00:25:59.600 --> 00:26:00.019
 why when we

00:26:00.019 --> 00:26:00.799
 get to Joshua

00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:01.339
 they're all

00:26:01.339 --> 00:26:01.980
 punished

00:26:01.980 --> 00:26:03.720
 because they've

00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:04.079
 turned their

00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:04.740
 back on God

00:26:04.740 --> 00:26:05.099
 and their

00:26:05.099 --> 00:26:05.539
 sin

00:26:05.539 --> 00:26:07.200
 is explicit

00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:10.240
 in chapter

00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:11.180
 26 verse

00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:11.940
 3 and 5

00:26:11.940 --> 00:26:12.579
 this covenant

00:26:12.579 --> 00:26:13.460
 is reiterated

00:26:13.460 --> 00:26:14.099
 to Isaac

00:26:14.099 --> 00:26:15.940
 and in chapter

00:26:15.940 --> 00:26:16.859
 28 verses

00:26:16.859 --> 00:26:17.980
 13 to 15

00:26:17.980 --> 00:26:18.879
 Jacob

00:26:18.879 --> 00:26:20.299
 is included

00:26:20.299 --> 00:26:21.019
 in this covenant

00:26:21.019 --> 00:26:21.599
 again

00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:24.240
 but there's a

00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:25.059
 big twist

00:26:25.059 --> 00:26:27.000
 there's a big

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:27.720
 twist at the

00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:28.160
 end of the

00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:28.960
 book that God

00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:29.839
 has already

00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:30.679
 told Abraham

00:26:30.679 --> 00:26:31.359
 about

00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:32.419
 which

00:26:32.419 --> 00:26:34.359
 Isaac

00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:34.839
 will know

00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:35.099
 about

00:26:35.099 --> 00:26:35.939
 which Jacob

00:26:35.939 --> 00:26:36.859
 will know

00:26:36.859 --> 00:26:37.339
 about

00:26:37.339 --> 00:26:39.339
 because in

00:26:39.339 --> 00:26:40.279
 verse 26

00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:42.619
 chapter 46

00:26:42.619 --> 00:26:44.299
 verse 1

00:26:44.299 --> 00:26:44.839
 Jacob

00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:46.059
 set out

00:26:46.059 --> 00:26:46.759
 with all

00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:47.220
 that was

00:26:47.220 --> 00:26:47.819
 his

00:26:47.819 --> 00:26:49.159
 and when

00:26:49.159 --> 00:26:49.639
 he reached

00:26:49.639 --> 00:26:50.199
 Bathsheba

00:26:50.199 --> 00:26:50.720
 he offered

00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:51.359
 a sacrifice

00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:51.919
 to the

00:26:51.919 --> 00:26:52.819
 God of

00:26:52.819 --> 00:26:53.299
 his father

00:26:53.299 --> 00:26:53.819
 Isaac

00:26:53.819 --> 00:26:57.099
 chapter 46

00:26:57.099 --> 00:26:57.599
 verse 5

00:26:57.599 --> 00:26:58.379
 Jacob

00:26:58.379 --> 00:26:58.839
 left

00:26:58.839 --> 00:26:59.519
 Bathsheba

00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:00.379
 and Israel's

00:27:00.379 --> 00:27:00.879
 sons took

00:27:00.879 --> 00:27:01.379
 their father

00:27:01.379 --> 00:27:01.839
 Jacob

00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:02.359
 and their

00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:02.759
 children

00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:03.700
 and their

00:27:03.700 --> 00:27:04.059
 wives

00:27:04.059 --> 00:27:04.439
 in the

00:27:04.439 --> 00:27:04.980
 carts that

00:27:04.980 --> 00:27:05.599
 Pharaoh had

00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:05.960
 sent to

00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:06.799
 transport him

00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:07.919
 so Jacob

00:27:07.919 --> 00:27:08.740
 and all his

00:27:08.740 --> 00:27:09.439
 offspring went

00:27:09.439 --> 00:27:10.139
 to Egypt

00:27:10.139 --> 00:27:11.379
 taking with

00:27:11.379 --> 00:27:11.700
 them their

00:27:11.700 --> 00:27:12.200
 livestock

00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:13.039
 and the

00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:13.500
 possessions

00:27:13.500 --> 00:27:14.399
 they had

00:27:14.399 --> 00:27:14.919
 acquired

00:27:14.919 --> 00:27:15.740
 in Cana

00:27:15.740 --> 00:27:17.200
 so we get

00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:17.980
 this amazing

00:27:17.980 --> 00:27:18.659
 twist

00:27:18.659 --> 00:27:20.039
 God says

00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:20.419
 you've got

00:27:20.419 --> 00:27:21.139
 this land

00:27:21.139 --> 00:27:21.700
 but by the

00:27:21.700 --> 00:27:22.200
 end of the

00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:22.439
 book

00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:22.940
 they're all

00:27:22.940 --> 00:27:23.420
 in Egypt

00:27:23.420 --> 00:27:25.460
 and there's

00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:26.000
 only one

00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:26.400
 bit

00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:27.580
 of the

00:27:27.580 --> 00:27:27.920
 promised

00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:28.220
 land

00:27:28.220 --> 00:27:28.559
 that they

00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:28.940
 own

00:27:28.940 --> 00:27:30.340
 the cave

00:27:30.340 --> 00:27:30.559
 of

00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:31.340
 Machpelah

00:27:31.340 --> 00:27:33.000
 that Abraham

00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:33.940
 purchased to

00:27:33.940 --> 00:27:34.700
 bury Sarah

00:27:34.700 --> 00:27:35.580
 in in chapter

00:27:35.580 --> 00:27:36.840
 23 verse 9

00:27:36.840 --> 00:27:39.299
 and in chapter

00:27:39.299 --> 00:27:40.600
 49 we realize

00:27:40.600 --> 00:27:41.299
 that's where all

00:27:41.299 --> 00:27:42.600
 the descendants

00:27:42.600 --> 00:27:43.160
 have been

00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:43.580
 buried

00:27:43.580 --> 00:27:47.519
 chapter 49

00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:48.340
 verse 29

00:27:48.340 --> 00:27:51.100
 then he gave

00:27:51.100 --> 00:27:51.500
 them these

00:27:51.500 --> 00:27:52.220
 instructions

00:27:52.220 --> 00:27:53.860
 that's

00:27:53.860 --> 00:27:54.259
 Joseph

00:27:54.259 --> 00:27:55.180
 I am about

00:27:55.180 --> 00:27:55.759
 to be gathered

00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:56.140
 to my

00:27:56.140 --> 00:27:56.460
 people

00:27:56.460 --> 00:27:57.059
 bury me

00:27:57.059 --> 00:27:57.460
 with my

00:27:57.460 --> 00:27:57.960
 fathers

00:27:57.960 --> 00:27:58.380
 in the

00:27:58.380 --> 00:27:58.839
 cave

00:27:58.839 --> 00:27:59.500
 in the

00:27:59.500 --> 00:28:00.079
 field of

00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:00.640
 Ephron

00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:01.360
 the Hittite

00:28:01.360 --> 00:28:02.519
 the cave

00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:02.839
 in the

00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:03.299
 field of

00:28:03.299 --> 00:28:04.019
 Machpelah

00:28:04.019 --> 00:28:05.160
 near Mamre

00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:06.019
 in Canaan

00:28:06.019 --> 00:28:07.279
 which Abraham

00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:08.500
 bought along

00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:09.180
 with the field

00:28:09.180 --> 00:28:09.799
 as a burial

00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:10.360
 place from

00:28:10.360 --> 00:28:11.860
 Ephron the

00:28:11.860 --> 00:28:12.360
 Hittite

00:28:12.360 --> 00:28:13.460
 there Abraham

00:28:13.460 --> 00:28:13.880
 and his

00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:14.460
 wife Sarah

00:28:14.460 --> 00:28:15.160
 were buried

00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:16.299
 there Isaac

00:28:16.299 --> 00:28:16.799
 and his

00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:17.860
 wife Rebecca

00:28:17.860 --> 00:28:18.559
 were buried

00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:19.220
 and there

00:28:19.220 --> 00:28:20.100
 I buried

00:28:20.100 --> 00:28:20.500
 Leah

00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:21.720
 the field

00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:22.079
 and the

00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:22.440
 cave

00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:23.019
 in it

00:28:23.019 --> 00:28:24.460
 were bought

00:28:24.460 --> 00:28:25.319
 from the

00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:26.099
 Hittites

00:28:26.099 --> 00:28:27.420
 by the time

00:28:27.420 --> 00:28:27.920
 we get to

00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:28.339
 Genesis

00:28:28.339 --> 00:28:28.880
 there's this

00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:29.759
 great promise

00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:31.339
 that this

00:28:31.339 --> 00:28:31.940
 land will be

00:28:31.940 --> 00:28:32.400
 yours and

00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:33.099
 your descendants

00:28:33.099 --> 00:28:34.839
 but they

00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:35.380
 only own

00:28:35.380 --> 00:28:35.900
 one little

00:28:35.900 --> 00:28:36.460
 cave

00:28:36.460 --> 00:28:37.420
 in one

00:28:37.420 --> 00:28:38.099
 little corner

00:28:38.099 --> 00:28:39.299
 of the

00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:39.819
 land

00:28:39.819 --> 00:28:41.740
 and yet I

00:28:41.740 --> 00:28:42.019
 think we

00:28:42.019 --> 00:28:42.640
 learn as we

00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:43.079
 read in

00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:43.579
 Hebrews

00:28:43.579 --> 00:28:46.059
 that there's

00:28:46.059 --> 00:28:46.980
 great faith

00:28:46.980 --> 00:28:48.259
 here exhibited

00:28:48.259 --> 00:28:49.200
 by Joseph

00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:51.980
 by faith

00:28:51.980 --> 00:28:52.460
 Joseph

00:28:52.460 --> 00:28:53.019
 when his

00:28:53.019 --> 00:28:53.539
 end was

00:28:53.539 --> 00:28:53.879
 near

00:28:53.879 --> 00:28:55.299
 spoke about

00:28:55.299 --> 00:28:55.980
 the exodus

00:28:55.980 --> 00:28:56.359
 of the

00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:56.759
 Israelites

00:28:56.759 --> 00:28:57.599
 from Egypt

00:28:57.599 --> 00:28:59.019
 and gave

00:28:59.019 --> 00:28:59.720
 instructions

00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:00.640
 concerning his

00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:01.059
 burial

00:29:01.059 --> 00:29:02.180
 of his

00:29:02.180 --> 00:29:02.759
 bones

00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:04.059
 see how

00:29:04.059 --> 00:29:04.400
 that is

00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:05.279
 real faith

00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:07.160
 that Joseph

00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:08.140
 was a really

00:29:08.140 --> 00:29:08.740
 big deal

00:29:08.740 --> 00:29:09.299
 in Egypt

00:29:09.299 --> 00:29:10.579
 he was an

00:29:10.579 --> 00:29:11.480
 absolute hero

00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:11.920
 who had

00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:12.359
 saved a

00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:13.140
 whole nation

00:29:13.140 --> 00:29:14.879
 from starvation

00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:16.860
 and yet

00:29:16.860 --> 00:29:18.400
 he believed

00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:18.840
 all that

00:29:18.840 --> 00:29:19.760
 God said

00:29:19.760 --> 00:29:21.240
 that Egypt

00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:21.980
 this is not

00:29:21.980 --> 00:29:22.660
 your home

00:29:22.660 --> 00:29:24.180
 this is not

00:29:24.180 --> 00:29:24.580
 where you're

00:29:24.580 --> 00:29:24.820
 going to

00:29:24.820 --> 00:29:25.100
 remain

00:29:25.100 --> 00:29:25.740
 so he says

00:29:25.740 --> 00:29:26.300
 I'm going

00:29:26.300 --> 00:29:26.900
 to die

00:29:26.900 --> 00:29:28.160
 but when

00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:28.820
 you go

00:29:28.820 --> 00:29:29.420
 when God

00:29:29.420 --> 00:29:29.960
 comes and

00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:30.880
 rescues you

00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:31.320
 and brings

00:29:31.320 --> 00:29:31.720
 you into

00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:32.080
 all that

00:29:32.080 --> 00:29:32.560
 he's promised

00:29:32.560 --> 00:29:32.960
 take me

00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:33.360
 with you

00:29:33.360 --> 00:29:34.720
 take my

00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:35.340
 bones and

00:29:35.340 --> 00:29:35.640
 put them

00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:36.400
 with Abraham

00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:37.760
 and Sarah

00:29:37.760 --> 00:29:38.540
 and Leah

00:29:38.540 --> 00:29:39.500
 and Isaac

00:29:39.500 --> 00:29:41.800
 bury me

00:29:41.800 --> 00:29:42.380
 with my

00:29:42.380 --> 00:29:43.060
 people in

00:29:43.060 --> 00:29:43.580
 the land

00:29:43.579 --> 00:29:44.599
 God has

00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:45.299
 promised

00:29:45.299 --> 00:29:47.740
 great amount

00:29:47.740 --> 00:29:48.319
 of Genesis

00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:48.919
 is about

00:29:48.919 --> 00:29:49.639
 land

00:29:49.639 --> 00:29:51.939
 about God

00:29:51.939 --> 00:29:53.059
 working out

00:29:53.059 --> 00:29:53.939
 his purposes

00:29:53.939 --> 00:29:56.639
 great amount

00:29:56.639 --> 00:29:57.259
 of the story

00:29:57.259 --> 00:29:57.819
 of Joseph

00:29:57.819 --> 00:29:58.359
 is about

00:29:58.359 --> 00:29:59.079
 faith

00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:00.480
 how it is

00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:00.899
 God

00:30:00.899 --> 00:30:01.759
 getting his

00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:02.199
 people

00:30:02.199 --> 00:30:03.059
 into Egypt

00:30:03.059 --> 00:30:03.579
 so he can

00:30:03.579 --> 00:30:04.299
 rescue them

00:30:04.299 --> 00:30:04.740
 and teach

00:30:04.740 --> 00:30:05.179
 them about

00:30:05.179 --> 00:30:05.759
 himself

00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:07.299
 but great

00:30:07.299 --> 00:30:07.980
 faith

00:30:07.980 --> 00:30:09.159
 exhibited by

00:30:09.159 --> 00:30:09.579
 Joseph

00:30:09.579 --> 00:30:10.099
 saying I

00:30:10.099 --> 00:30:10.919
 believe

00:30:10.919 --> 00:30:12.000
 God what

00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:12.480
 you said

00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:13.179
 is true

00:30:13.180 --> 00:30:14.440
 and I

00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:14.680
 want to

00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:15.100
 be part

00:30:15.100 --> 00:30:15.799
 of it

00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:16.480
 Egypt

00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:16.840
 is not

00:30:16.840 --> 00:30:17.080
 my

00:30:17.080 --> 00:30:17.400
 home

00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:18.799
 but you

00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:18.960
 are going

00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:19.380
 to take

00:30:19.380 --> 00:30:19.560
 us

00:30:19.560 --> 00:30:20.100
 and be

00:30:20.100 --> 00:30:21.000
 in the

00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:21.259
 land

00:30:21.259 --> 00:30:21.560
 that you

00:30:21.560 --> 00:30:21.920
 promised

00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:22.259
 that's

00:30:22.259 --> 00:30:23.279
 so similar

00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:23.840
 to us

00:30:23.840 --> 00:30:24.539
 isn't it

00:30:24.539 --> 00:30:25.920
 God

00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:26.400
 says this

00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:26.820
 is not

00:30:26.820 --> 00:30:27.480
 your land

00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:29.000
 this is

00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:29.539
 not where

00:30:29.539 --> 00:30:29.779
 you are

00:30:29.779 --> 00:30:30.180
 meant to

00:30:30.180 --> 00:30:30.420
 be

00:30:30.420 --> 00:30:30.799
 this is

00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:31.259
 not where

00:30:31.259 --> 00:30:31.480
 you are

00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:32.140
 to permanently

00:30:32.140 --> 00:30:32.740
 reside

00:30:32.740 --> 00:30:34.400
 we are

00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:34.960
 just here

00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:35.600
 and in

00:30:35.600 --> 00:30:36.340
 the exodus

00:30:36.340 --> 00:30:36.720
 that the

00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:37.360
 Lord Jesus

00:30:37.360 --> 00:30:38.120
 has led

00:30:38.120 --> 00:30:40.019
 being welcomed

00:30:40.019 --> 00:30:40.620
 into that

00:30:40.620 --> 00:30:41.200
 land

00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:42.160
 that has

00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:42.380
 been

00:30:42.380 --> 00:30:43.080
 promised

00:30:43.080 --> 00:30:44.799
 that place

00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:45.140
 that the

00:30:45.140 --> 00:30:45.779
 Lord Jesus

00:30:45.779 --> 00:30:46.259
 has been

00:30:46.259 --> 00:30:46.779
 preparing

00:30:46.779 --> 00:30:47.759
 ever since

00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:49.059
 his ascension

00:30:49.059 --> 00:30:50.100
 and I

00:30:50.100 --> 00:30:50.559
 wonder if

00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:51.100
 that's one

00:30:51.100 --> 00:30:51.360
 of the

00:30:51.360 --> 00:30:51.620
 lessons

00:30:51.620 --> 00:30:52.000
 we're to

00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:52.420
 learn from

00:30:52.420 --> 00:30:52.840
 Joseph

00:30:52.840 --> 00:30:55.240
 to not

00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:55.740
 let our

00:30:55.740 --> 00:30:56.200
 roots go

00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:56.720
 down too

00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:57.319
 deep in

00:30:57.319 --> 00:30:57.840
 this land

00:30:57.840 --> 00:31:00.480
 but to know

00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:01.120
 that there is a

00:31:01.120 --> 00:31:01.740
 promised land

00:31:01.740 --> 00:31:02.640
 far better than

00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:03.460
 Canaan promised

00:31:03.460 --> 00:31:04.120
 to Abraham

00:31:04.120 --> 00:31:05.960
 that's where

00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:06.559
 we're to be

00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:06.840
 looking

00:31:06.840 --> 00:31:08.160
 that's what

00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:08.700
 we're to be

00:31:08.700 --> 00:31:09.259
 living for

00:31:09.259 --> 00:31:10.160
 and that's

00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:10.940
 where we're

00:31:10.940 --> 00:31:11.740
 to orientate

00:31:11.740 --> 00:31:12.360
 all of our

00:31:12.360 --> 00:31:13.000
 lives

00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:14.180
 knowing that

00:31:14.180 --> 00:31:15.000
 one day

00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:16.600
 we'll reside

00:31:16.600 --> 00:31:17.480
 there forever

00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:19.259
 as a gracious

00:31:19.259 --> 00:31:19.940
 gift

00:31:19.940 --> 00:31:21.220
 from a good

00:31:21.220 --> 00:31:21.799
 God

00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:24.500
 Joseph knew

00:31:24.500 --> 00:31:24.960
 that through

00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:25.480
 redemption

00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:26.000
 they would

00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:27.180
 take possession

00:31:27.180 --> 00:31:27.880
 of the land

00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:28.259
 God had

00:31:28.259 --> 00:31:28.799
 promised

00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:30.600
 through our

00:31:30.600 --> 00:31:31.080
 redemption

00:31:31.080 --> 00:31:31.640
 through the

00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:32.340
 Lord Jesus

00:31:32.340 --> 00:31:33.980
 we like

00:31:33.980 --> 00:31:34.380
 Joseph

00:31:34.380 --> 00:31:34.900
 are to have

00:31:34.900 --> 00:31:35.720
 that faith

00:31:35.720 --> 00:31:36.660
 that will

00:31:36.660 --> 00:31:37.480
 be welcomed

00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:38.940
 into the

00:31:38.940 --> 00:31:39.519
 land

00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:40.900
 that new

00:31:40.900 --> 00:31:41.299
 world

00:31:41.299 --> 00:31:42.500
 that recreated

00:31:42.500 --> 00:31:43.200
 perfection

00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:44.839
 that God

00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:45.839
 has promised

00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:46.620
 that's land

00:31:46.620 --> 00:31:48.140
 there's a lot

00:31:48.140 --> 00:31:49.059
 of it

00:31:49.059 --> 00:31:50.039
 to get

00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:50.380
 through

00:31:50.380 --> 00:31:51.759
 now let's

00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:52.099
 go through

00:31:52.099 --> 00:31:52.579
 seed and

00:31:52.579 --> 00:31:52.839
 this will

00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:53.180
 take us

00:31:53.180 --> 00:31:53.460
 a lot

00:31:53.460 --> 00:31:54.000
 less time

00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:55.779
 the whole

00:31:55.779 --> 00:31:56.579
 story starts

00:31:56.579 --> 00:31:57.000
 in chapter

00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:57.599
 3 verse

00:31:57.599 --> 00:31:58.099
 15

00:31:58.099 --> 00:32:00.599
 the first

00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:01.319
 pronouncement

00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:01.599
 of the

00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:02.000
 gospel

00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:03.120
 in the

00:32:03.120 --> 00:32:03.539
 Bible

00:32:03.539 --> 00:32:04.839
 and I

00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:05.200
 will put

00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:05.720
 enmity

00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:06.500
 between you

00:32:06.500 --> 00:32:06.819
 and the

00:32:06.819 --> 00:32:07.099
 woman

00:32:07.099 --> 00:32:07.519
 and between

00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:08.259
 your offspring

00:32:08.259 --> 00:32:08.939
 and hers

00:32:08.939 --> 00:32:09.679
 he will

00:32:09.679 --> 00:32:10.259
 crush your

00:32:10.259 --> 00:32:10.679
 head

00:32:10.679 --> 00:32:11.339
 and you

00:32:11.339 --> 00:32:11.959
 will strike

00:32:11.959 --> 00:32:12.619
 his heel

00:32:12.619 --> 00:32:14.159
 the seed

00:32:14.159 --> 00:32:14.519
 of the

00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:14.879
 woman

00:32:14.879 --> 00:32:15.299
 would be

00:32:15.299 --> 00:32:15.859
 the way

00:32:15.859 --> 00:32:16.240
 that the

00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:16.539
 curse

00:32:16.539 --> 00:32:17.179
 of sin

00:32:17.179 --> 00:32:18.039
 would be

00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:18.679
 undone

00:32:18.679 --> 00:32:19.679
 and this

00:32:19.679 --> 00:32:20.259
 means that

00:32:20.259 --> 00:32:20.699
 everybody

00:32:20.699 --> 00:32:21.959
 born next

00:32:21.959 --> 00:32:22.859
 are they

00:32:22.859 --> 00:32:23.679
 that seed

00:32:23.679 --> 00:32:24.579
 are they

00:32:24.579 --> 00:32:25.219
 that one

00:32:25.219 --> 00:32:25.919
 whom God

00:32:25.919 --> 00:32:26.279
 is going

00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:26.779
 to use

00:32:26.779 --> 00:32:27.500
 to redeem

00:32:27.500 --> 00:32:28.519
 the world

00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:29.619
 who's going

00:32:29.619 --> 00:32:29.899
 to be

00:32:29.899 --> 00:32:30.599
 this promised

00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:31.039
 seed

00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:32.839
 and so we

00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:33.679
 get Adam's

00:32:33.679 --> 00:32:34.179
 children

00:32:34.180 --> 00:32:35.620
 and the

00:32:35.620 --> 00:32:35.920
 promised

00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:36.299
 seed is

00:32:36.299 --> 00:32:36.600
 obviously

00:32:36.600 --> 00:32:36.840
 not

00:32:36.840 --> 00:32:37.200
 able

00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:37.460
 because

00:32:37.460 --> 00:32:37.720
 he's

00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:38.120
 dead

00:32:38.120 --> 00:32:39.220
 and it's

00:32:39.220 --> 00:32:39.500
 obviously

00:32:39.500 --> 00:32:39.880
 not going

00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:40.120
 to be

00:32:40.120 --> 00:32:40.440
 Cain

00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:41.019
 because he's

00:32:41.019 --> 00:32:41.279
 the one

00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:41.880
 who made

00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:42.500
 able

00:32:42.500 --> 00:32:43.000
 dead

00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:44.080
 and is

00:32:44.080 --> 00:32:44.500
 being

00:32:44.500 --> 00:32:44.940
 and is

00:32:44.940 --> 00:32:45.500
 responsible

00:32:45.500 --> 00:32:45.940
 and is

00:32:45.940 --> 00:32:46.160
 now

00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:46.600
 cursed

00:32:46.600 --> 00:32:47.100
 to wander

00:32:47.100 --> 00:32:47.600
 the world

00:32:47.600 --> 00:32:48.180
 alone

00:32:48.180 --> 00:32:50.420
 but then we

00:32:50.420 --> 00:32:51.299
 get Seth

00:32:51.299 --> 00:32:52.940
 and Seth

00:32:52.940 --> 00:32:53.319
 is the

00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:53.779
 line

00:32:53.779 --> 00:32:54.259
 through which

00:32:54.259 --> 00:32:54.759
 the promised

00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:55.180
 seed will

00:32:55.180 --> 00:32:55.720
 come

00:32:55.720 --> 00:32:57.899
 and it's

00:32:57.899 --> 00:32:58.859
 from Seth

00:32:58.859 --> 00:32:59.599
 that we

00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:00.419
 get Noah

00:33:00.419 --> 00:33:02.059
 if you want

00:33:02.059 --> 00:33:02.559
 to read that

00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:03.279
 chapter 5

00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:03.919
 we'll let you

00:33:03.919 --> 00:33:04.519
 into all the

00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:05.519
 intricate details

00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:05.960
 about the

00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:06.680
 family tree

00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:08.379
 and Noah

00:33:08.379 --> 00:33:09.059
 has three

00:33:09.059 --> 00:33:09.480
 sons

00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:10.279
 and we

00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:11.000
 wonder which

00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:11.460
 ones of

00:33:11.460 --> 00:33:12.019
 these

00:33:12.019 --> 00:33:13.379
 is going

00:33:13.379 --> 00:33:14.180
 to be the

00:33:14.180 --> 00:33:15.240
 line of the

00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:15.559
 promised

00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:16.220
 seed

00:33:16.220 --> 00:33:17.599
 it's not

00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:18.079
 particularly

00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:18.879
 obvious

00:33:18.879 --> 00:33:19.899
 although Ham

00:33:19.900 --> 00:33:20.519
 is cursed

00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:21.140
 because he

00:33:21.140 --> 00:33:21.720
 sees his

00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:22.360
 dad passed

00:33:22.360 --> 00:33:23.000
 up naked

00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:25.700
 and we

00:33:25.700 --> 00:33:26.180
 learn that

00:33:26.180 --> 00:33:26.560
 it's not

00:33:26.560 --> 00:33:27.440
 Japheth

00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:29.440
 but it is

00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:30.019
 in fact

00:33:30.019 --> 00:33:30.759
 Shem

00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:32.280
 Shem

00:33:32.280 --> 00:33:32.660
 is the

00:33:32.660 --> 00:33:33.060
 one

00:33:33.060 --> 00:33:34.040
 who is

00:33:34.040 --> 00:33:34.560
 the promised

00:33:34.560 --> 00:33:34.920
 seed

00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:35.160
 and we

00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:35.500
 pick that

00:33:35.500 --> 00:33:35.820
 up in

00:33:35.820 --> 00:33:36.600
 chapter 11

00:33:36.600 --> 00:33:37.880
 verse 10

00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:39.240
 and from

00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:39.600
 Shem

00:33:39.600 --> 00:33:40.240
 we get

00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:41.200
 terror

00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:43.060
 and terror

00:33:43.060 --> 00:33:43.720
 seems to be

00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:44.280
 a bit of a

00:33:44.280 --> 00:33:45.019
 weird inclusion

00:33:45.019 --> 00:33:45.780
 because nothing

00:33:45.780 --> 00:33:47.120
 really happens

00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:51.079
 except we

00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:51.559
 learn that

00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:52.299
 terror took

00:33:52.299 --> 00:33:53.379
 terror

00:33:53.379 --> 00:33:54.839
 was

00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:56.159
 related to

00:33:56.159 --> 00:33:56.759
 Abraham

00:33:56.759 --> 00:33:58.519
 Abraham

00:33:58.519 --> 00:33:59.899
 promised

00:33:59.899 --> 00:34:02.059
 and called

00:34:02.059 --> 00:34:02.799
 by God

00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:05.059
 and Abraham's

00:34:05.059 --> 00:34:05.659
 got a bit of a

00:34:05.659 --> 00:34:06.459
 checkered life

00:34:06.459 --> 00:34:07.899
 that God says

00:34:07.899 --> 00:34:08.259
 you're going to

00:34:08.259 --> 00:34:08.900
 have a son

00:34:08.900 --> 00:34:09.440
 and Abraham

00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:10.339
 decides it's a

00:34:10.339 --> 00:34:11.279
 DIY kind of

00:34:11.279 --> 00:34:11.639
 job

00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:12.719
 so he

00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:17.059
 gets given

00:34:17.059 --> 00:34:17.679
 Hagar

00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:18.759
 by Sarah

00:34:18.759 --> 00:34:19.319
 to try and

00:34:19.319 --> 00:34:19.759
 give himself

00:34:19.759 --> 00:34:20.199
 a son

00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:20.699
 but this is

00:34:20.699 --> 00:34:21.299
 the DIY

00:34:21.299 --> 00:34:22.239
 lie

00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:23.839
 and Ishmael

00:34:23.839 --> 00:34:24.539
 is not

00:34:24.539 --> 00:34:25.719
 the promised

00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:26.099
 lie

00:34:26.099 --> 00:34:27.900
 and Ishmael

00:34:27.900 --> 00:34:28.819
 is interesting

00:34:28.819 --> 00:34:31.679
 it's Abraham's

00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:32.199
 DIY

00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:33.339
 attempt to

00:34:33.339 --> 00:34:33.779
 grab hold

00:34:33.779 --> 00:34:34.019
 of the

00:34:34.019 --> 00:34:34.299
 covenant

00:34:34.299 --> 00:34:35.219
 but Hagar

00:34:35.219 --> 00:34:36.619
 Ishmael's

00:34:36.619 --> 00:34:37.000
 mum

00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:38.599
 is an

00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:39.099
 Egyptian

00:34:39.099 --> 00:34:41.179
 a descendant

00:34:41.179 --> 00:34:41.440
 of the

00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:42.119
 Hamites

00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:44.199
 chapter 16

00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:44.940
 verse 12

00:34:44.940 --> 00:34:45.399
 we learn

00:34:45.399 --> 00:34:45.879
 that he's

00:34:45.879 --> 00:34:46.079
 going to

00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:46.519
 be a

00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:47.599
 wild donkey

00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:48.259
 of a man

00:34:48.259 --> 00:34:49.179
 his hand's

00:34:49.179 --> 00:34:49.359
 going to

00:34:49.359 --> 00:34:49.839
 be against

00:34:49.839 --> 00:34:50.279
 everyone

00:34:50.279 --> 00:34:51.039
 and everyone's

00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:51.319
 hand's

00:34:51.319 --> 00:34:51.500
 going to

00:34:51.500 --> 00:34:51.960
 be against

00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:52.359
 him

00:34:52.359 --> 00:34:53.579
 we also

00:34:53.579 --> 00:34:54.059
 learn when

00:34:54.059 --> 00:34:54.319
 we get

00:34:54.319 --> 00:34:54.719
 into the

00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:55.539
 Joseph story

00:34:55.539 --> 00:34:56.139
 that when

00:34:56.139 --> 00:34:57.399
 Joseph's

00:34:57.399 --> 00:34:57.819
 brothers

00:34:57.819 --> 00:34:58.440
 sell

00:34:58.440 --> 00:34:59.519
 Joseph

00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:01.059
 they sell

00:35:01.059 --> 00:35:01.399
 him to

00:35:01.399 --> 00:35:01.779
 the

00:35:01.779 --> 00:35:02.960
 Midianites

00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:03.839
 or the

00:35:03.839 --> 00:35:05.159
 Ishmaelites

00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:06.539
 who take

00:35:06.539 --> 00:35:06.919
 him down

00:35:06.919 --> 00:35:07.719
 to Egypt

00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:09.079
 seems that

00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:09.559
 Ishmael

00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:10.059
 has a part

00:35:10.059 --> 00:35:10.440
 to play

00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:10.759
 but of

00:35:10.759 --> 00:35:11.079
 course

00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:12.099
 the promise

00:35:12.099 --> 00:35:12.719
 line comes

00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:12.980
 through

00:35:12.980 --> 00:35:13.460
 Isaac

00:35:13.460 --> 00:35:15.380
 and Isaac

00:35:15.380 --> 00:35:16.239
 testifies to

00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:16.759
 God

00:35:16.759 --> 00:35:17.619
 making the

00:35:17.619 --> 00:35:18.199
 impossible

00:35:18.199 --> 00:35:18.779
 possible

00:35:18.779 --> 00:35:20.440
 because Sarah

00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:20.920
 is about a

00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:21.500
 hundred years

00:35:21.500 --> 00:35:21.960
 old which

00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:22.539
 is no age

00:35:22.539 --> 00:35:22.980
 to start

00:35:22.980 --> 00:35:24.539
 mothering

00:35:24.539 --> 00:35:24.920
 children

00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:27.739
 but Isaac

00:35:27.739 --> 00:35:28.219
 is not the

00:35:28.219 --> 00:35:28.559
 serpent

00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:29.059
 crusher

00:35:29.059 --> 00:35:30.279
 he's still

00:35:30.279 --> 00:35:30.940
 not arrived

00:35:30.940 --> 00:35:31.960
 because Isaac's

00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:32.719
 character and

00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:34.079
 faith are

00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:34.799
 shaky to say

00:35:34.799 --> 00:35:35.400
 the least

00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:38.299
 so then Isaac

00:35:38.299 --> 00:35:39.480
 has two

00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:40.159
 sons one's

00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:40.819
 called Esau

00:35:40.820 --> 00:35:42.559
 he becomes

00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:42.980
 the father

00:35:42.980 --> 00:35:43.380
 of the

00:35:43.380 --> 00:35:44.100
 Edomites

00:35:44.100 --> 00:35:44.420
 or the

00:35:44.420 --> 00:35:45.160
 red ones

00:35:45.160 --> 00:35:46.600
 if you like

00:35:46.600 --> 00:35:47.100
 he's not

00:35:47.100 --> 00:35:47.519
 chosen

00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:49.860
 but Jacob

00:35:49.860 --> 00:35:51.380
 is the

00:35:51.380 --> 00:35:52.280
 chosen one

00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:54.440
 but you have

00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:54.980
 to look at

00:35:54.980 --> 00:35:55.760
 Jacob's family

00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:56.300
 tree and

00:35:56.300 --> 00:35:56.980
 wonder which

00:35:56.980 --> 00:35:57.620
 one of these

00:35:57.620 --> 00:35:57.940
 is the

00:35:57.940 --> 00:35:58.460
 chosen

00:35:58.460 --> 00:35:59.120
 promise

00:35:59.120 --> 00:35:59.500
 seed

00:35:59.500 --> 00:36:01.179
 you've got

00:36:01.179 --> 00:36:01.639
 Reuben

00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:02.300
 Simeon

00:36:02.300 --> 00:36:02.739
 Levi

00:36:02.739 --> 00:36:03.380
 Judah

00:36:03.380 --> 00:36:03.840
 Issach

00:36:03.840 --> 00:36:04.679
 Zebulun

00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:05.460
 all the

00:36:05.460 --> 00:36:06.519
 sons of

00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:06.840
 Leah

00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:08.539
 you've got

00:36:08.539 --> 00:36:09.280
 Joseph and

00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:09.739
 Benjamin

00:36:09.739 --> 00:36:10.400
 the sons

00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:11.079
 of Rachel

00:36:11.079 --> 00:36:12.559
 and because

00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:13.019
 they're in the

00:36:13.019 --> 00:36:13.699
 middle of

00:36:13.699 --> 00:36:14.139
 who's the

00:36:14.139 --> 00:36:14.719
 favourite by

00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:15.139
 having the

00:36:15.139 --> 00:36:16.079
 most sons

00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:17.940
 Zilpah

00:36:17.940 --> 00:36:18.980
 Leah's

00:36:18.980 --> 00:36:20.599
 maidservant

00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:21.059
 is given

00:36:21.059 --> 00:36:22.000
 to Jacob

00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:23.679
 and she

00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:24.320
 has Gad

00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:24.960
 and Asher

00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:27.460
 and Rachel

00:36:27.460 --> 00:36:27.940
 decides

00:36:27.940 --> 00:36:28.519
 well my

00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:29.519
 maidservant

00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:29.960
 could give

00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:30.260
 you some

00:36:30.260 --> 00:36:30.740
 sons and

00:36:30.740 --> 00:36:31.099
 I might

00:36:31.099 --> 00:36:31.800
 win so

00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:32.900
 Bilhah

00:36:32.900 --> 00:36:33.579
 goes in

00:36:33.579 --> 00:36:34.800
 and Dan

00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:35.480
 and Naphtali

00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:36.179
 are born

00:36:36.179 --> 00:36:38.420
 well that's

00:36:38.420 --> 00:36:39.019
 mess isn't

00:36:39.019 --> 00:36:39.460
 it

00:36:39.460 --> 00:36:41.099
 that's like

00:36:41.099 --> 00:36:41.619
 a Jeremy

00:36:41.619 --> 00:36:42.300
 Kyle show

00:36:42.300 --> 00:36:42.960
 waiting to

00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:43.440
 happen

00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:45.159
 one father

00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:46.659
 four

00:36:46.659 --> 00:36:48.079
 childbearing

00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:48.559
 women

00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:49.720
 twelve sons

00:36:49.720 --> 00:36:50.199
 who don't

00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:50.760
 get on at

00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:51.179
 all

00:36:51.179 --> 00:36:55.399
 which one

00:36:55.399 --> 00:36:55.739
 of these

00:36:55.739 --> 00:36:56.059
 is going

00:36:56.059 --> 00:36:56.279
 to be

00:36:56.279 --> 00:36:56.759
 the line

00:36:56.759 --> 00:36:57.019
 of the

00:36:57.019 --> 00:36:57.339
 promised

00:36:57.339 --> 00:36:57.579
 seed

00:36:57.579 --> 00:36:57.759
 well

00:36:57.759 --> 00:36:58.019
 there's

00:36:58.019 --> 00:36:58.440
 Joseph

00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:01.559
 but

00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:01.980
 Joseph

00:37:01.980 --> 00:37:02.359
 isn't

00:37:02.359 --> 00:37:02.519
 the

00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:02.839
 promised

00:37:02.839 --> 00:37:03.359
 seed

00:37:03.359 --> 00:37:05.699
 it's

00:37:05.699 --> 00:37:06.159
 Judah

00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:07.960
 that's

00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:08.259
 not the

00:37:08.259 --> 00:37:08.639
 obvious

00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:09.099
 choice

00:37:09.099 --> 00:37:09.419
 because

00:37:09.419 --> 00:37:09.639
 we're

00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:09.799
 going to

00:37:09.799 --> 00:37:09.960
 see

00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:10.219
 next

00:37:10.219 --> 00:37:10.419
 week

00:37:10.419 --> 00:37:10.599
 that

00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:10.919
 Judah

00:37:10.919 --> 00:37:11.599
 doesn't

00:37:11.599 --> 00:37:11.899
 start

00:37:11.899 --> 00:37:12.460
 great

00:37:12.460 --> 00:37:14.500
 Judah

00:37:14.500 --> 00:37:14.819
 is

00:37:14.819 --> 00:37:15.039
 going

00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:15.159
 to

00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:15.399
 be

00:37:15.399 --> 00:37:15.639
 the

00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:16.019
 line

00:37:16.019 --> 00:37:16.179
 of

00:37:16.179 --> 00:37:16.359
 this

00:37:16.359 --> 00:37:16.960
 promised

00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:17.619
 seed

00:37:17.619 --> 00:37:17.839
 the

00:37:17.839 --> 00:37:18.359
 one

00:37:18.359 --> 00:37:19.440
 descendant

00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:19.639
 of

00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:19.980
 Eve

00:37:19.980 --> 00:37:20.159
 who

00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:20.359
 will

00:37:20.359 --> 00:37:21.099
 crush

00:37:21.099 --> 00:37:22.039
 and

00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:22.319
 bring

00:37:22.319 --> 00:37:22.699
 an end

00:37:22.699 --> 00:37:22.880
 to

00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:23.440
 death

00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:23.940
 and

00:37:23.940 --> 00:37:24.579
 sin

00:37:24.579 --> 00:37:25.219
 and

00:37:25.219 --> 00:37:25.779
 evil

00:37:25.779 --> 00:37:26.360
 forever

00:37:26.360 --> 00:37:29.420
 so

00:37:29.420 --> 00:37:29.880
 what part

00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:30.039
 does

00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:30.599
 Joseph

00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:31.179
 play

00:37:31.179 --> 00:37:33.099
 well I

00:37:33.099 --> 00:37:33.299
 think

00:37:33.299 --> 00:37:33.659
 Joseph

00:37:33.659 --> 00:37:34.259
 knows

00:37:34.259 --> 00:37:34.480
 that

00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:34.759
 he's

00:37:34.759 --> 00:37:35.099
 not

00:37:35.099 --> 00:37:35.960
 a big

00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:36.380
 deal

00:37:36.380 --> 00:37:37.659
 he's

00:37:37.659 --> 00:37:37.860
 very

00:37:37.860 --> 00:37:38.339
 forgiving

00:37:38.339 --> 00:37:38.819
 to his

00:37:38.819 --> 00:37:39.199
 brothers

00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:40.839
 he's

00:37:40.839 --> 00:37:41.039
 very

00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:41.500
 servant

00:37:41.500 --> 00:37:42.000
 hearted

00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:42.400
 in every

00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:43.019
 situation

00:37:43.019 --> 00:37:43.619
 he finds

00:37:43.619 --> 00:37:44.000
 himself

00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:44.360
 in

00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:45.659
 as we

00:37:45.659 --> 00:37:46.480
 read

00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:46.679
 in

00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:46.920
 Psalm

00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:47.599
 105

00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:48.000
 he's

00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:48.239
 very

00:37:48.239 --> 00:37:48.900
 wise

00:37:48.900 --> 00:37:50.360
 and

00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:50.660
 seeks

00:37:50.660 --> 00:37:50.840
 to

00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:51.119
 teach

00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:51.380
 the

00:37:51.380 --> 00:37:52.039
 elders

00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:52.360
 and

00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:52.840
 princes

00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:53.320
 in

00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:53.760
 Egypt

00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:54.200
 wisdom

00:37:54.200 --> 00:37:54.760
 he's

00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:54.900
 a

 great

00:37:55.160 --> 00:37:55.639
 example

00:37:55.639 --> 00:37:55.880
 but

00:37:55.880 --> 00:37:56.000
 he

00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:56.320
 knows

 he's

00:37:56.500 --> 00:37:56.639

 I

00:37:59.559 --> 00:37:59.800
 wonder

00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:00.119
 too

00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:00.300
 if

00:38:00.300 --> 00:38:00.480
 this

00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:00.700
 isn't

00:38:00.700 --> 00:38:00.860

 we're

00:38:05.240 --> 00:38:05.380

00:39:54.260 --> 00:39:54.500
 thing

00:39:54.500 --> 00:39:54.660
 that

00:39:54.660 --> 00:39:54.860
 I've

00:39:54.860 --> 00:39:55.320
 learned

00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:56.740
 that's

00:39:56.740 --> 00:39:57.340
 captured

00:39:57.340 --> 00:39:58.160
 and

00:39:58.160 --> 00:39:58.720
 provoked

00:39:58.720 --> 00:39:58.940
 my

00:39:58.940 --> 00:39:59.400
 thought

00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:00.000
 is

00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:00.180
 just

00:40:00.180 --> 00:40:00.400
 how

00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:00.940
 messy

00:40:00.940 --> 00:40:01.180
 it

00:40:01.180 --> 00:40:01.620
 is

00:40:01.620 --> 00:40:02.620
 just

00:40:02.620 --> 00:40:02.800
 how

00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:02.920
 at

00:40:02.920 --> 00:40:03.200
 every

00:40:03.200 --> 00:40:03.559
 turn

00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:04.019
 something

00:40:04.019 --> 00:40:04.360
 goes

00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:04.640
 wrong

00:40:04.640 --> 00:40:05.039
 someone

00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:05.440
 makes

00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:05.840
 a bad

00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:06.400
 choice

00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:07.800
 somebody

00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:08.200
 tries

00:40:08.200 --> 00:40:08.580
 to go

00:40:08.580 --> 00:40:08.860
 off

00:40:08.860 --> 00:40:09.360
 plot

00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:11.599
 and

00:40:11.599 --> 00:40:11.780
 yet

00:40:11.780 --> 00:40:12.000
 it's

00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:12.460
 confirmed

00:40:12.460 --> 00:40:12.680
 that

00:40:12.680 --> 00:40:12.840
 God

00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:13.019
 is

00:40:13.019 --> 00:40:13.539
 sovereign

00:40:13.539 --> 00:40:13.960
 over

00:40:13.960 --> 00:40:14.160
 the

00:40:14.160 --> 00:40:14.340
 mess

00:40:14.660 --> 00:40:15.000

00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:16.140

00:40:16.140 --> 00:40:16.300
 he's

00:40:16.300 --> 00:40:16.620
 working

00:40:19.180 --> 00:40:19.539
 cannot

00:40:19.539 --> 00:40:19.840
 be

00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:20.420
 thwarted

00:40:20.420 --> 00:40:20.800
 despite

00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:21.480
 people's

00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:22.900

00:40:38.420 --> 00:40:39.420
 that

00:40:39.420 --> 00:40:39.619
 we've

00:40:39.619 --> 00:40:39.780
 got

00:40:39.780 --> 00:40:40.180
 ourselves

00:40:40.180 --> 00:40:40.639
 into

 the

 Egypt

00:40:49.740 --> 00:40:51.039
 the

 promise

00:40:51.420 --> 00:40:51.619
 of

00:40:53.720 --> 00:40:54.000
 seed

00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:54.280
 while

00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:54.619
 Judah

00:40:54.619 --> 00:40:54.960
 doesn't

00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:55.320
 look like

00:40:55.320 --> 00:40:55.619
 a great

00:40:55.619 --> 00:40:56.119
 candidate

00:40:56.119 --> 00:40:57.920
 and God

00:40:57.920 --> 00:40:58.280
 has given

00:40:58.280 --> 00:40:58.680
 them three

00:40:58.680 --> 00:40:59.220

00:41:00.539 --> 00:41:00.920
 point

00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:02.659
 and therefore

00:41:02.659 --> 00:41:03.099
 the ending

00:41:03.099 --> 00:41:03.599
 of Genesis

00:41:03.599 --> 00:41:04.240
 just leaves

 God

00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:16.639
 has

00:41:32.860 --> 00:41:33.360
 decisions

00:41:37.260 --> 00:41:39.460
 bad things

00:41:39.460 --> 00:41:39.800
 happen

 that you

00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:46.880
 like Joseph

00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:47.420
 lives of

 integrity

00:41:47.940 --> 00:41:48.740
 and faith

00:41:52.860 --> 00:41:54.940
 lives lived

00:41:54.940 --> 00:41:55.300
 in the

00:41:55.300 --> 00:41:55.700
 fear of

00:41:55.700 --> 00:41:56.220
 the Lord

00:41:56.220 --> 00:41:57.840
 that you

00:41:57.840 --> 00:41:58.579
 might walk

00:41:58.579 --> 00:41:59.539
 with us

00:41:59.539 --> 00:42:00.519
 through our

00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:01.000
 days

00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:02.960
 and Father

00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:03.340
 that we

00:42:03.340 --> 00:42:04.140
 might point

00:42:04.139 --> 00:42:04.799
 as Joseph

00:42:04.799 --> 00:42:05.279
 did to

00:42:05.279 --> 00:42:05.480
 that

00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:05.900
 promised

00:42:05.900 --> 00:42:06.219
 seed

00:42:06.219 --> 00:42:06.539
 who was

00:42:06.539 --> 00:42:06.839
 to come

00:42:06.839 --> 00:42:07.279
 into the

00:42:07.279 --> 00:42:07.699
 world

00:42:07.699 --> 00:42:09.359
 who would

00:42:09.359 --> 00:42:09.639
 be the

00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:10.079
 answer to

00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:10.480
 sin

00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:11.619
 and death

00:42:11.619 --> 00:42:12.980

00:42:12.980 --> 00:42:13.239
 would be

00:42:13.239 --> 00:42:13.960
 the way

00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:14.879
 that we

00:42:14.879 --> 00:42:15.519
 get to

00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:16.059
 be in

00:42:16.059 --> 00:42:17.099
 that new

00:42:17.099 --> 00:42:17.739
 creation
