00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.359
 Isn't it fun that as a church that doesn't have a strict liturgy, we have a very strict order in which we do things.

00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:18.420
!

00:00:18.420 --> 00:00:25.379
 Well, good morning. My name is Martin and we will this morning be looking at Jeremiah chapters 2 to 4.

00:00:25.379 --> 00:00:31.359
 I hope I haven't bitten off more than we can chew. We'll see. You can be the judge of that by the end of the talk this morning.

00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:34.659
 But you might like to start doing there, Jeremiah chapter 2 to 4.

00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:41.140
 I will say a few words by way of introduction first, but let me commit this time to the Lord in prayer.

00:00:43.019 --> 00:00:52.359
 Heavenly Father, we thank you for the scriptures through which we get to know you as our God, our Father,

00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:59.100
 through which we get to know our Saviour Jesus, that we might be reconciled to you.

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:04.819
 We pray that you would guide us in our meditations on your word this morning.

00:01:04.819 --> 00:01:13.719
 And we pray that as we hear, we would respond from the heart. In Jesus' name. Amen.

00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:22.639
 The Apostle John concludes his first epistle with the words,

00:01:23.979 --> 00:01:27.799
 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

00:01:29.139 --> 00:01:31.579
 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

00:01:31.579 --> 00:01:34.140
 Now, it's a strange way to end the letter.

00:01:35.819 --> 00:01:42.459
 The first epistle of John, if you're familiar with it, you may know it's full of the themes of God's love,

00:01:43.099 --> 00:01:49.379
 of faith, of the assurance of salvation, of Jesus' command that we love one another,

00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:54.060
 the assurance that we're God's children, loved by the Father.

00:01:54.060 --> 00:02:01.019
 In fact, in the previous sentence, the penultimate verse in the first epistle of John,

00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:08.920
 it talks about knowing God, about our union with God the Father through being united with his Son, Jesus Christ.

00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.860
 It talks about eternal life, the eternal life that's found in Jesus.

00:02:12.860 --> 00:02:19.400
 And then, abruptly, we have this final sentence,

00:02:20.600 --> 00:02:23.320
 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

00:02:24.140 --> 00:02:27.960
 It's, in fact, the only use of the word idols in the book of 1 John.

00:02:28.060 --> 00:02:31.420
 We're not studying 1 John this morning, but anyway, this is just the introduction.

00:02:31.820 --> 00:02:34.460
 It's the only use of the word idols in the book of 1 John.

00:02:35.180 --> 00:02:38.300
 It seems to come from nowhere and leave nowhere.

00:02:38.300 --> 00:02:47.580
 And yet, John chose to end his letter, this message about faith and love and life,

00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:53.439
 with this short, stark warning about idolatry.

00:02:56.420 --> 00:03:00.980
 Actually, it may hearken back to something John had said earlier in his letter.

00:03:01.880 --> 00:03:06.580
 In 1 John 2, verse 15 and 16, he says,

00:03:06.580 --> 00:03:11.500
 Do not love the world or the things in the world.

00:03:12.140 --> 00:03:15.520
 If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:21.439
 For all that is in the world, the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and the pride of life,

00:03:22.320 --> 00:03:25.280
 is not from the Father, but is from the world.

00:03:27.640 --> 00:03:31.860
 If John has that in mind when he says, keep yourselves from idols,

00:03:31.860 --> 00:03:45.840
 then the idolatry John is thinking about is not just the worship of Jupiter or Mars or Athena or Artemis or Isis or any of the pantheon of ancient gods.

00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:52.039
 John recognized that idolatry could take a more insidious form,

00:03:52.819 --> 00:03:57.000
 that is, a love of the world and the things in the world.

00:03:58.659 --> 00:04:04.800
 And when he speaks that way, he's not talking about the legitimate enjoyment of God's good creation.

00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:14.860
 He's talking about any inordinate, covetous, misshapen love that displaces God.

00:04:14.860 --> 00:04:18.680
 And John says,

00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:22.900
 Even though you know the Father and the Son, even though you have eternal life,

00:04:22.980 --> 00:04:25.100
 even though you're beloved children of God,

00:04:25.400 --> 00:04:28.740
 even though you have victory over the world through believing in Jesus,

00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.020
 even though all those things are true,

00:04:31.980 --> 00:04:33.120
 yet heed this warning,

00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:35.660
 keep yourselves from idols.

00:04:35.660 --> 00:04:39.060
 In other words,

00:04:39.060 --> 00:04:47.320
 we who believe in Jesus are not immune to the seduction and deception of idolatry.

00:04:49.400 --> 00:04:54.500
 And I wonder, like, if the Apostle John were to come here to Australia in the 21st century

00:04:54.500 --> 00:04:57.960
 and cast his appraising eye over our society,

00:04:58.760 --> 00:05:01.180
 what would he see?

00:05:01.180 --> 00:05:08.500
 Now, if he would appraise our society with its boasts and its greed and its obsessions

00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:11.340
 and its addictions and its fixations,

00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:18.180
 I think he would no doubt perceive the same danger for us in the 21st century

00:05:18.180 --> 00:05:21.699
 as he did for his first readers in the 1st century.

00:05:22.060 --> 00:05:23.280
 And he would say to us,

00:05:23.780 --> 00:05:27.139
 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

00:05:27.139 --> 00:05:35.399
 In 626 BC, in the 13th year of the reign of King Josiah,

00:05:35.860 --> 00:05:39.039
 God called Jeremiah as a prophet to the nations

00:05:39.039 --> 00:05:43.719
 and especially to his people Judah, the nation of Judah.

00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.560
 And as his first assignment,

00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.300
 God sent Jeremiah to Jerusalem,

00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.539
 to the city which was the home of the Lord's temple,

00:05:53.699 --> 00:05:55.360
 the home of the king's palace,

00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:57.740
 with a message for the people,

00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:01.540
 a message that could be summed up,

00:06:02.100 --> 00:06:08.439
 why have you forsaken me to follow worthless idols?

00:06:10.819 --> 00:06:15.080
 And we're going to listen to part of that message in a moment as Beck reads it for us.

00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:18.280
 As we listen to this part of the message,

00:06:18.580 --> 00:06:19.120
 we're going to read the,

00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:21.300
 Beck will read the first half of chapter 2.

00:06:21.300 --> 00:06:25.319
 I want you to bear in mind the Apostle John's exhortation,

00:06:25.420 --> 00:06:27.220
 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

00:06:28.220 --> 00:06:33.040
 And listen to the way God speaks to Judah here,

00:06:33.100 --> 00:06:35.500
 the way he drives home to Judah,

00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:39.420
 that it is absolute folly,

00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:40.480
 utter folly,

00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.580
 to forsake the Lord

00:06:42.580 --> 00:06:45.019
 in order to follow idols.

00:06:45.019 --> 00:06:47.479
 So Beck,

00:06:47.599 --> 00:06:48.379
 I'm not sure where about,

00:06:48.459 --> 00:06:49.139
 there you are.

00:06:49.419 --> 00:06:50.500
 Beck is going to come out and read

00:06:50.500 --> 00:06:53.319
 Jeremiah chapter 2 verses 1 to 19.

00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:58.539
 And think about how do we see it's utter folly

00:06:58.539 --> 00:06:59.500
 to forsake the Lord.

00:06:59.699 --> 00:07:00.039
 Thanks, Beck.

00:07:08.299 --> 00:07:10.680
 Okay, starting at verse 1 of chapter 2.

00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.379
 The word of the Lord came to me,

00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:14.800
 saying,

00:07:15.620 --> 00:07:18.199
 Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem,

00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:20.280
 thus says the Lord.

00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.660
 I remember the devotion of your youth,

00:07:24.180 --> 00:07:25.759
 your love as a bride,

00:07:26.460 --> 00:07:28.280
 how you followed me in the wilderness,

00:07:28.840 --> 00:07:30.199
 in a land not sown.

00:07:31.579 --> 00:07:33.680
 Israel was holy to the Lord,

00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.100
 the first fruits of his harvest.

00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:39.300
 All who ate of it incurred guilt,

00:07:39.300 --> 00:07:41.699
 disaster came upon them,

00:07:42.100 --> 00:07:43.180
 declares the Lord.

00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.660
 Hear the word of the Lord,

00:07:47.139 --> 00:07:48.660
 O house of Jacob,

00:07:49.139 --> 00:07:51.879
 and all the clans of the house of Israel.

00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:54.439
 Thus says the Lord.

00:07:55.400 --> 00:07:58.180
 What wrong did your fathers find in me,

00:07:58.500 --> 00:08:00.180
 that they went far from me,

00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:02.460
 and went after worthlessness,

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:04.060
 and became worthless?

00:08:05.340 --> 00:08:06.720
 They did not say,

00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:10.220
 Where is the Lord who brought us up from the land of Egypt,

00:08:10.740 --> 00:08:11.940
 who led us in the wilderness,

00:08:12.640 --> 00:08:14.500
 in a land of deserts and pits,

00:08:14.860 --> 00:08:17.440
 in a land of drought and deep darkness,

00:08:18.260 --> 00:08:20.420
 in a land that none passes through,

00:08:20.880 --> 00:08:22.240
 where no man dwells?

00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:27.320
 And I brought you into a plentiful land,

00:08:27.780 --> 00:08:30.400
 to enjoy its fruits and its good things.

00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.319
 But when you came in,

00:08:33.860 --> 00:08:35.819
 you defiled my land,

00:08:36.259 --> 00:08:38.819
 and made my heritage an abomination.

00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:42.159
 The priests did not say,

00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:43.559
 Where is the Lord?

00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:48.120
 Those who handle the law did not know me.

00:08:48.959 --> 00:08:51.919
 The shepherds transgressed against me.

00:08:52.500 --> 00:08:55.699
 The prophets prophesied by Baal,

00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:58.139
 and went after things that do not profit.

00:08:58.139 --> 00:09:03.159
 Therefore, I still contend with you,

00:09:03.539 --> 00:09:04.620
 declares the Lord,

00:09:05.299 --> 00:09:07.299
 and with your children's children,

00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:08.679
 I will contend.

00:09:10.259 --> 00:09:13.120
 For cross to the coasts of Cyprus and see,

00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.199
 or send to Kedar and examine with care,

00:09:16.779 --> 00:09:18.960
 see if there has been such a thing.

00:09:20.419 --> 00:09:22.879
 Has a nation changed its gods,

00:09:23.539 --> 00:09:25.340
 even though they are no gods?

00:09:25.340 --> 00:09:30.540
 But my people have changed their glory,

00:09:31.160 --> 00:09:32.860
 for that which does not profit.

00:09:34.460 --> 00:09:39.240
 Be appalled, O heavens, at this.

00:09:39.980 --> 00:09:40.820
 Be shocked.

00:09:41.540 --> 00:09:44.259
 Be utterly desolate, declares the Lord.

00:09:45.540 --> 00:09:48.080
 For my people have committed two evils.

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.160
 They have forsaken me,

00:09:50.280 --> 00:09:52.220
 the fountain of living mortars,

00:09:52.220 --> 00:09:54.820
 and hewed out cisterns for themselves,

00:09:55.460 --> 00:09:58.040
 broken cisterns that can hold no water.

00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:00.779
 Is Israel a slave?

00:10:01.460 --> 00:10:02.980
 Is he a home-born servant?

00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:06.940
 Why then has he become a prey?

00:10:08.220 --> 00:10:10.100
 The lions have roared against him.

00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:11.899
 They have roared loudly.

00:10:11.899 --> 00:10:15.279
 They have made his land a waste.

00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:17.439
 His cities are in ruin,

00:10:17.939 --> 00:10:19.299
 without inhabitant.

00:10:20.699 --> 00:10:23.199
 Moreover, the men of Memphis and Tapanis

00:10:23.199 --> 00:10:25.240
 have shaved the crown of your head.

00:10:26.579 --> 00:10:29.399
 Have you not brought this upon yourself

00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.980
 by forsaking the Lord your God

00:10:32.980 --> 00:10:34.779
 when he led you in the way?

00:10:34.779 --> 00:10:39.579
 And now, what do you gain by going to Egypt

00:10:39.579 --> 00:10:41.339
 to drink the waters of the Nile?

00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.039
 Or what do you gain by going to Assyria

00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:46.799
 to drink the waters of the Euphrates?

00:10:48.139 --> 00:10:50.720
 Your evil will chastise you,

00:10:51.100 --> 00:10:53.539
 and your apostasy will reprove you.

00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.539
 Know and see that it is evil and bitter

00:10:58.539 --> 00:11:02.240
 for you to forsake the Lord your God.

00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:05.139
 The fear of me is not in you,

00:11:05.560 --> 00:11:07.759
 declares the Lord God of hosts.

00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:09.360
 This is the word of the Lord.

00:11:17.580 --> 00:11:18.460
 Thanks, Peg.

00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:21.480
 Okay, well, let's consider these verses,

00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:22.759
 this section.

00:11:23.259 --> 00:11:25.940
 The first three verses then of chapter two,

00:11:26.560 --> 00:11:28.659
 we have like this brief introduction,

00:11:28.860 --> 00:11:31.340
 which is a nostalgic recollection

00:11:31.340 --> 00:11:32.920
 of Israel's past,

00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:36.540
 the honeymoon period of Israel's relationship with God.

00:11:37.060 --> 00:11:39.500
 God remembers and he reminds his people

00:11:39.500 --> 00:11:44.660
 there in verse two of the devotion of your youth

00:11:44.660 --> 00:11:47.080
 and your love as a bride.

00:11:47.920 --> 00:11:50.120
 They're following after him in the wilderness.

00:11:51.860 --> 00:11:54.920
 And how he, in verse three, cherished them.

00:11:55.019 --> 00:11:56.080
 They were precious to him.

00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.759
 They were wholly set apart for him

00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:00.580
 and protected by him.

00:12:01.800 --> 00:12:04.639
 Now, you could read this

00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:09.400
 and raise an eyebrow and say,

00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:11.780
 was Israel's relationship with God

00:12:11.780 --> 00:12:13.220
 ever really like this?

00:12:14.520 --> 00:12:16.500
 It is, you might think,

00:12:16.620 --> 00:12:18.940
 a rose-coloured glasses perspective

00:12:18.940 --> 00:12:21.480
 on even Israel's beginning.

00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:24.039
 And if you were to read through the book of Exodus

00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:25.379
 and the book of Numbers,

00:12:25.779 --> 00:12:28.440
 you know, those years Israel spent in the wilderness,

00:12:29.259 --> 00:12:32.539
 there are plenty of spectacular failures of Israel

00:12:32.539 --> 00:12:33.779
 in those years.

00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:36.480
 So what we have here in verses one to three

00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:40.920
 is this idealised presentation of the past.

00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:43.080
 What Israel were made to be

00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:44.720
 and what they were supposed to be?

00:12:46.860 --> 00:12:49.680
 Maybe, you see, precise historical accuracy,

00:12:49.680 --> 00:12:50.879
 I don't think, is the point here

00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:52.120
 in these first three verses.

00:12:52.420 --> 00:12:56.879
 Rather, it's not so much about how good Israel once were.

00:12:58.259 --> 00:13:01.280
 The point of this chapter is about how far they had fallen

00:13:01.280 --> 00:13:02.960
 from what they ought to have been,

00:13:03.040 --> 00:13:03.980
 what they could have been,

00:13:04.040 --> 00:13:05.200
 what they were made to be.

00:13:07.400 --> 00:13:08.360
 Verse five,

00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:12.019
 what wrong did your fathers find in me

00:13:12.019 --> 00:13:14.600
 that they went far from me

00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:16.460
 and went after worthlessness

00:13:16.460 --> 00:13:18.279
 and became worthless?

00:13:20.620 --> 00:13:25.060
 Now, in the montage of metaphors that follow,

00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:28.039
 God makes the case

00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.539
 that it is utter folly to turn away from him.

00:13:31.539 --> 00:13:33.980
 It's madness to turn away from God.

00:13:35.060 --> 00:13:37.680
 And the same reasons that God gave Judah

00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:39.599
 for why it's folly to turn away from him

00:13:39.599 --> 00:13:41.419
 are just as applicable for us today.

00:13:41.979 --> 00:13:44.679
 Why it'd be folly for us to turn away from the Lord.

00:13:45.739 --> 00:13:47.399
 I've got three reasons from those verses

00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:49.079
 that Beck just read for us.

00:13:49.219 --> 00:13:50.819
 First, from verses five to eight,

00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:53.259
 it's utter folly to forsake the Lord

00:13:53.259 --> 00:13:56.059
 after all the good he has done for you.

00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:58.759
 It's utter folly to forsake the Lord

00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:00.799
 after all the good he's done for you.

00:14:02.579 --> 00:14:04.459
 How could Israel forget this?

00:14:05.439 --> 00:14:06.019
 Verse six,

00:14:06.019 --> 00:14:07.220
 they did not say,

00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:09.039
 where is the Lord?

00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:12.240
 How could they forget,

00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:13.000
 verse six,

00:14:14.019 --> 00:14:16.279
 the God who brought them up

00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.079
 out of the land of Egypt?

00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:20.000
 How could they forget,

00:14:20.259 --> 00:14:21.120
 again in verse six,

00:14:21.199 --> 00:14:23.279
 the God who led them in the wilderness?

00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:24.679
 How could they forget,

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:25.480
 verse seven,

00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:28.519
 the God who brought them into a plentiful land

00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:30.960
 to enjoy its fruits and its good things?

00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:36.440
 Now maybe forget isn't even really the right word here.

00:14:37.820 --> 00:14:40.019
 Maybe they didn't exactly forget.

00:14:41.560 --> 00:14:44.220
 They just lost interest.

00:14:44.220 --> 00:14:49.300
 Even the leaders who'd been charged

00:14:49.300 --> 00:14:52.820
 with reminding the people of the love of God,

00:14:53.680 --> 00:14:55.060
 even they lost interest.

00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:56.660
 Verse eight,

00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:57.879
 the priest did not say,

00:14:58.040 --> 00:14:58.840
 where is the Lord?

00:14:58.940 --> 00:15:00.940
 Those who handle the Lord did not know me.

00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:03.040
 The shepherds transgressed against me.

00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.240
 The prophets prophesied by Baal

00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:08.060
 and went after things that do not profit.

00:15:08.059 --> 00:15:12.079
 I mean, how can this be?

00:15:13.819 --> 00:15:15.719
 How can you forget God,

00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:16.959
 forsake God,

00:15:17.239 --> 00:15:18.439
 drift away from God,

00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:21.139
 just lose interest in God

00:15:21.139 --> 00:15:24.339
 when he's been so good to you?

00:15:26.419 --> 00:15:27.979
 I mean, if that's true for Israel,

00:15:29.239 --> 00:15:31.179
 isn't it even more true for us?

00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.059
 God forgave our sins.

00:15:35.059 --> 00:15:38.699
 God gave us his Holy Spirit.

00:15:39.179 --> 00:15:40.739
 God made us his own.

00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:42.379
 He adopted us as his children.

00:15:43.419 --> 00:15:45.639
 He will raise us up in glory.

00:15:46.719 --> 00:15:48.099
 He promises us eternity.

00:15:48.599 --> 00:15:51.839
 And now he protects us by faith as we wait.

00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:53.959
 He gifts us for service.

00:15:54.859 --> 00:15:56.939
 He places us in a community of people.

00:15:57.359 --> 00:15:59.459
 He teaches us love and humility

00:15:59.459 --> 00:16:02.000
 and self-control and righteousness.

00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:04.839
 Hasn't God been good?

00:16:05.059 --> 00:16:06.079
 To us?

00:16:08.899 --> 00:16:12.419
 How could we just lose interest in God?

00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:15.339
 It makes no sense.

00:16:16.739 --> 00:16:18.599
 I mean, what would we replace God with?

00:16:19.599 --> 00:16:21.919
 The God who's been so good to us.

00:16:22.539 --> 00:16:23.919
 Do you see what God says about it?

00:16:23.939 --> 00:16:25.639
 Like whatever we might replace God with?

00:16:26.959 --> 00:16:28.179
 Verse four,

00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:30.559
 they went after worthlessness

00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.719
 and became worthless.

00:16:35.239 --> 00:16:38.459
 That word worthlessness there

00:16:38.459 --> 00:16:40.339
 is the same word that's used

00:16:40.339 --> 00:16:42.279
 in the book of Ecclesiastes,

00:16:42.539 --> 00:16:43.459
 the Hebrew word hebel,

00:16:44.459 --> 00:16:45.119
 which means,

00:16:46.119 --> 00:16:48.539
 in that expression in the book of Ecclesiastes,

00:16:48.699 --> 00:16:49.899
 vanity of vanities,

00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:52.879
 or everything is meaningless.

00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.299
 It just means something that's vain,

00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:57.120
 it's empty,

00:16:57.299 --> 00:16:57.740
 it's vapor,

00:16:57.799 --> 00:16:58.379
 it's nothing.

00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:02.240
 They went far from

00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:04.700
 the living,

00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:05.460
 true,

00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:06.740
 good God

00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:08.900
 and went after

00:17:08.900 --> 00:17:10.799
 nothing,

00:17:12.299 --> 00:17:12.839
 worthlessness.

00:17:15.059 --> 00:17:16.460
 How could we do that?

00:17:17.220 --> 00:17:17.660
 Verse eight,

00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:19.180
 they went after things that,

00:17:19.940 --> 00:17:20.620
 end of verse eight,

00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:21.980
 that do not profit,

00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:23.519
 that give them nothing,

00:17:23.700 --> 00:17:23.819
 that,

00:17:24.660 --> 00:17:26.279
 from which no good comes.

00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:28.879
 empty idols.

00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:31.319
 Why?

00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:33.740
 It makes no sense.

00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:38.500
 There was a period last year

00:17:38.500 --> 00:17:41.339
 when I was becoming addicted

00:17:41.339 --> 00:17:42.899
 to a game on my phone.

00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:45.899
 Some of you are laughing.

00:17:47.180 --> 00:17:48.119
 Some of you are,

00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:49.940
 I don't know,

00:17:50.019 --> 00:17:50.819
 maybe looking sideways

00:17:50.819 --> 00:17:51.639
 or looking down

00:17:51.639 --> 00:17:52.559
 or something nervously.

00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:53.019
 But anyway,

00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:53.680
 I was becoming addicted

00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:55.899
 to a game on my phone

00:17:55.900 --> 00:17:56.880
 and Jen,

00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:57.440
 my wife,

00:17:57.560 --> 00:17:58.960
 she was patient with me

00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:00.880
 but not altogether silent

00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:01.960
 which was probably good.

00:18:03.740 --> 00:18:06.500
 But as I reflect back on that,

00:18:06.700 --> 00:18:07.740
 like what good

00:18:07.740 --> 00:18:08.920
 did it give me,

00:18:09.660 --> 00:18:10.420
 my attachment

00:18:10.420 --> 00:18:11.820
 to this game on my phone?

00:18:12.620 --> 00:18:13.820
 Like it just made me

00:18:13.820 --> 00:18:14.580
 more distracted,

00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:15.720
 more irritable.

00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:18.380
 I was reading less,

00:18:18.660 --> 00:18:20.540
 I was thinking about God less

00:18:20.540 --> 00:18:22.960
 and I didn't even enjoy it.

00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.400
 It was worthless.

00:18:27.180 --> 00:18:28.360
 It didn't profit.

00:18:29.940 --> 00:18:31.579
 And the more I went after it,

00:18:31.620 --> 00:18:32.940
 the more worthless I became.

00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:37.799
 Why would we forsake God

00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:40.640
 who brought us up

00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:41.720
 from sin and death,

00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:44.079
 who leads us in the wilderness,

00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:45.400
 who will bring us

00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:46.900
 into a plentiful land

00:18:46.900 --> 00:18:48.200
 to fill us with good things?

00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:49.819
 Why would we forsake God?

00:18:51.120 --> 00:18:52.400
 For that which is worthless

00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:53.420
 and does not profit.

00:18:54.120 --> 00:18:56.059
 It makes no sense.

00:19:00.220 --> 00:19:00.660
 Secondly,

00:19:00.840 --> 00:19:02.319
 verse 9 to 13,

00:19:03.019 --> 00:19:03.900
 it's utter folly

00:19:03.900 --> 00:19:05.160
 to forsake the Lord,

00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:06.200
 not only,

00:19:06.700 --> 00:19:07.360
 as we saw firstly,

00:19:07.460 --> 00:19:08.140
 because of the good

00:19:08.140 --> 00:19:09.019
 he's done for us,

00:19:09.180 --> 00:19:10.299
 but in verse 9 to 13,

00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:11.100
 it's utter folly

00:19:11.100 --> 00:19:11.960
 to forsake the Lord

00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:14.140
 because he himself

00:19:14.140 --> 00:19:16.880
 is our incomparable glory.

00:19:18.520 --> 00:19:19.440
 He himself

00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:21.160
 is our incomparable glory.

00:19:21.580 --> 00:19:22.320
 The best thing

00:19:22.320 --> 00:19:24.000
 about being saved by God

00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:25.160
 and belonging to God

00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:26.200
 and knowing God

00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:27.360
 is God himself.

00:19:29.060 --> 00:19:30.220
 Look at verse 10.

00:19:32.780 --> 00:19:33.880
 For cross to the coast

00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:34.980
 of Cyprus and see,

00:19:35.080 --> 00:19:35.820
 or send to Kedar

00:19:35.820 --> 00:19:37.100
 and examine with care

00:19:37.100 --> 00:19:39.460
 and see if there has been any,

00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:41.040
 if there has been such a thing.

00:19:41.899 --> 00:19:44.259
 Has a nation changed its gods?

00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:45.019
 I mean,

00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:45.759
 the other nations

00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:46.460
 don't go around

00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:47.639
 changing their gods.

00:19:49.019 --> 00:19:49.619
 Jeremiah says,

00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:51.839
 even though there are no gods,

00:19:51.899 --> 00:19:52.879
 even though they're fake

00:19:52.879 --> 00:19:53.579
 and they're nothing

00:19:53.579 --> 00:19:54.440
 and they're empty,

00:19:55.399 --> 00:19:57.159
 the nations don't change their gods.

00:19:58.859 --> 00:20:00.899
 But my people have changed,

00:20:01.019 --> 00:20:02.399
 see what God says here,

00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:02.839
 verse 11,

00:20:02.940 --> 00:20:04.240
 my people have changed

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:06.119
 their glory

00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:09.579
 for that which does not profit.

00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:12.379
 When Israel gave up

00:20:12.379 --> 00:20:13.940
 on their God,

00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:15.159
 the God,

00:20:15.299 --> 00:20:16.920
 when Israel gave up on God,

00:20:17.139 --> 00:20:18.980
 they gave up their glory

00:20:18.980 --> 00:20:23.319
 for nothing.

00:20:26.399 --> 00:20:28.099
 The Lord was Israel's glory.

00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:29.599
 How much more is he our glory?

00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:29.920
 Of course,

00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:31.319
 we can't fully grasp

00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:33.200
 the glory of God,

00:20:34.099 --> 00:20:35.960
 but we get a sense,

00:20:36.339 --> 00:20:38.159
 a glimpse of the glory of God

00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:40.900
 when we behold his works.

00:20:42.340 --> 00:20:42.820
 See,

00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:44.840
 consider God's work of creation.

00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:47.940
 The heavens declare

00:20:47.940 --> 00:20:49.660
 the glory of God,

00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:51.380
 Psalm 19 says,

00:20:52.320 --> 00:20:53.800
 and modern science

00:20:53.800 --> 00:20:56.019
 has in no way

00:20:56.019 --> 00:20:57.779
 diminished their testimony.

00:20:57.779 --> 00:21:00.220
 You know,

00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:01.339
 an ancient Israelite

00:21:01.339 --> 00:21:02.059
 might look up

00:21:02.059 --> 00:21:03.660
 at the expansive beauty

00:21:03.660 --> 00:21:04.480
 of the night sky,

00:21:04.579 --> 00:21:05.279
 which we can't see

00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:06.279
 because we live in a city

00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:07.000
 and it's obscured

00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:07.680
 by all the lights,

00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:08.220
 city lights,

00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:09.279
 but an ancient Israelite

00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:09.779
 might look up

00:21:09.779 --> 00:21:10.779
 at the expansive beauty

00:21:10.779 --> 00:21:12.240
 of the night sky

00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:13.460
 and marvel

00:21:13.460 --> 00:21:15.559
 at the glory of God.

00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:18.379
 But do we marvel

00:21:18.379 --> 00:21:19.339
 any less

00:21:19.339 --> 00:21:22.000
 with telescopes

00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:23.559
 and satellites

00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:25.240
 peering into the depths

00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:26.079
 of the universe?

00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:31.099
 There are apparently

00:21:31.099 --> 00:21:32.240
 somewhere between

00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:35.400
 100 and 400 billion stars

00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:37.259
 in the Milky Way galaxy.

00:21:37.940 --> 00:21:38.440
 So let's take

00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:39.240
 the lower figure,

00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:40.319
 100 billion.

00:21:40.859 --> 00:21:42.960
 There are 8.3 billion people

00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:44.000
 on the planet Earth.

00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:44.759
 That means

00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:46.599
 in our galaxy alone

00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:47.960
 there are at least

00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:49.779
 12 times as many stars

00:21:49.779 --> 00:21:50.640
 as there are people.

00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:50.799
 I mean,

00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:52.039
 if we were to claim stars,

00:21:52.140 --> 00:21:52.920
 just divide them among,

00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:54.880
 we would have 12 stars each.

00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:56.660
 In the Milky Way galaxy.

00:21:58.920 --> 00:21:59.200
 I mean,

00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:00.319
 some of you think,

00:22:00.420 --> 00:22:00.519
 you know,

00:22:01.019 --> 00:22:01.920
 will you ever be able

00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:02.940
 to afford to buy a home

00:22:02.940 --> 00:22:03.319
 or something?

00:22:03.420 --> 00:22:03.720
 But you know,

00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:05.000
 there's 12 stars out there

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:05.480
 for you

00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:06.960
 if you can get to them.

00:22:07.900 --> 00:22:09.460
 But that's just one galaxy.

00:22:11.460 --> 00:22:11.720
 I mean,

00:22:11.779 --> 00:22:12.259
 apparently,

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:13.099
 I don't know

00:22:13.099 --> 00:22:14.220
 how on Earth

00:22:14.220 --> 00:22:15.220
 astrophysicists

00:22:15.220 --> 00:22:16.500
 come to this figure,

00:22:16.700 --> 00:22:17.420
 but apparently

00:22:17.420 --> 00:22:18.680
 there are perhaps

00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:21.039
 2 trillion galaxies

00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:23.740
 in the observable universe.

00:22:26.220 --> 00:22:28.019
 2,000 billion galaxies.

00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:28.420
 That's,

00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:29.539
 you can not only have

00:22:29.539 --> 00:22:30.339
 your 12 stars

00:22:30.339 --> 00:22:31.359
 in the Milky Way galaxy,

00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:31.940
 you can have

00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:33.440
 240 galaxies

00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:36.059
 in the observable universe.

00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:38.460
 I mean,

00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:40.779
 consider God's work

00:22:40.779 --> 00:22:41.559
 of creation

00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:43.440
 and he spoke

00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:44.679
 and it came into being,

00:22:44.819 --> 00:22:45.579
 isn't the Lord

00:22:45.579 --> 00:22:46.399
 glorious?

00:22:49.679 --> 00:22:50.799
 Consider God's work

00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:51.359
 of redemption.

00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:53.559
 The God

00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:54.119
 who created

00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:54.740
 all this.

00:22:56.419 --> 00:22:57.139
 The God

00:22:57.139 --> 00:22:57.399
 who is,

00:22:57.460 --> 00:22:58.019
 let me read some

00:22:58.019 --> 00:22:59.200
 words from the

00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:00.579
 Baptist Confession

00:23:00.579 --> 00:23:01.139
 of Faith,

00:23:01.140 --> 00:23:03.660
 which is just

00:23:03.660 --> 00:23:04.660
 summarizing Scripture.

00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:06.700
 The God

00:23:06.700 --> 00:23:07.160
 who is

00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:07.800
 infinite

00:23:07.800 --> 00:23:08.720
 in being

00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:09.640
 and perfection,

00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:11.320
 immutable,

00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:12.259
 immense,

00:23:12.500 --> 00:23:13.000
 eternal,

00:23:13.300 --> 00:23:14.140
 incomprehensible,

00:23:14.380 --> 00:23:14.840
 almighty,

00:23:15.280 --> 00:23:16.040
 every way,

00:23:16.280 --> 00:23:16.660
 infinite,

00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:17.520
 most holy,

00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:18.380
 most wise,

00:23:18.520 --> 00:23:19.259
 most free.

00:23:22.100 --> 00:23:22.820
 Again,

00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:25.220
 also from the

00:23:25.220 --> 00:23:25.800
 Baptist Confession,

00:23:26.140 --> 00:23:27.340
 he is alone

00:23:27.340 --> 00:23:28.220
 the fountain

00:23:28.220 --> 00:23:29.440
 of all being,

00:23:29.780 --> 00:23:30.380
 of whom,

00:23:30.520 --> 00:23:31.120
 through whom,

00:23:31.140 --> 00:23:31.980
 and to whom

00:23:31.980 --> 00:23:32.900
 are all things

00:23:32.900 --> 00:23:33.940
 and he hath

00:23:33.940 --> 00:23:34.860
 most sovereign

00:23:34.860 --> 00:23:35.440
 dominion

00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:36.480
 over all creatures

00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:37.900
 to do by them,

00:23:38.040 --> 00:23:38.460
 for them,

00:23:38.500 --> 00:23:39.240
 or upon them,

00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:39.820
 whatsoever

00:23:39.820 --> 00:23:41.100
 he himself

00:23:41.100 --> 00:23:41.720
 pleases.

00:23:44.340 --> 00:23:45.020
 Eternal,

00:23:45.259 --> 00:23:45.820
 almighty,

00:23:47.280 --> 00:23:48.259
 all powerful,

00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:49.980
 dominion

00:23:49.980 --> 00:23:50.640
 over all,

00:23:50.740 --> 00:23:51.120
 the fount

00:23:51.120 --> 00:23:51.980
 of all being

00:23:51.980 --> 00:23:54.320
 and yet

00:23:54.320 --> 00:23:55.280
 this same

00:23:55.280 --> 00:23:55.680
 God,

00:23:55.780 --> 00:23:56.600
 this very same

00:23:56.600 --> 00:23:57.259
 God in the

00:23:57.259 --> 00:23:57.940
 person of his

00:23:57.940 --> 00:23:58.740
 son entered

00:23:58.740 --> 00:23:59.280
 into his

00:23:59.280 --> 00:24:00.080
 creation,

00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:01.779
 subjected

00:24:01.779 --> 00:24:02.220
 himself

00:24:02.220 --> 00:24:03.659
 not only

00:24:03.659 --> 00:24:04.259
 to become

00:24:04.259 --> 00:24:04.819
 a man,

00:24:05.019 --> 00:24:05.500
 but to

00:24:05.500 --> 00:24:06.179
 suffer at

00:24:06.179 --> 00:24:06.740
 the hands

00:24:06.740 --> 00:24:07.240
 of men,

00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:09.319
 to suffer

00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:09.899
 the malice

00:24:09.899 --> 00:24:10.439
 and cruelty

00:24:10.439 --> 00:24:11.039
 of men,

00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:12.439
 whom he

00:24:12.439 --> 00:24:12.980
 himself had

00:24:12.980 --> 00:24:13.399
 made.

00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:17.280
 the God

00:24:17.280 --> 00:24:17.620
 who is

00:24:17.620 --> 00:24:18.259
 grieved

00:24:18.259 --> 00:24:18.960
 by our

00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:19.440
 sin

00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:22.759
 shed the

00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:23.200
 tears

00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:23.660
 that should

00:24:23.660 --> 00:24:24.019
 have been

00:24:24.019 --> 00:24:24.460
 ours.

00:24:24.600 --> 00:24:25.180
 The God

00:24:25.180 --> 00:24:25.860
 whose anger

00:24:25.860 --> 00:24:26.660
 is aroused

00:24:26.660 --> 00:24:27.600
 by our

00:24:27.600 --> 00:24:27.920
 sin

00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:28.540
 drank the

00:24:28.540 --> 00:24:28.960
 cup of

00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:29.220
 wrath

00:24:29.220 --> 00:24:29.720
 that should

00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:30.060
 have been

00:24:30.060 --> 00:24:30.320
 ours.

00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:30.820
 The God

00:24:30.820 --> 00:24:31.600
 whom we

00:24:31.600 --> 00:24:32.540
 had forsaken

00:24:32.540 --> 00:24:33.840
 was himself

00:24:33.840 --> 00:24:34.580
 forsaken

00:24:34.580 --> 00:24:36.240
 for us.

00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:40.140
 we have

00:24:40.140 --> 00:24:40.740
 seen his

00:24:40.740 --> 00:24:41.160
 glory,

00:24:41.259 --> 00:24:41.599
 the glory

00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:41.880
 of the

00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:42.180
 one and

00:24:42.180 --> 00:24:42.440
 only

00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:42.900
 son

00:24:42.900 --> 00:24:43.099
 who

00:24:43.099 --> 00:24:43.440
 came

00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:43.640
 from

00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:43.819
 the

00:24:43.819 --> 00:24:44.200
 father

00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:44.680
 full of

00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:45.220
 grace

00:24:45.220 --> 00:24:46.240
 and

00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:46.819
 truth.

00:24:48.660 --> 00:24:48.880
 You know,

00:24:48.900 --> 00:24:49.299
 someone will

00:24:49.299 --> 00:24:49.559
 be,

00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:51.160
 you know,

00:24:51.299 --> 00:24:51.660
 chuffed,

00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:52.319
 a bit

00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:52.839
 pleased with

00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:53.279
 themselves

00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:54.819
 when they

00:24:54.819 --> 00:24:55.759
 know a

00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:56.359
 reliable

00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:57.059
 mechanic

00:24:57.059 --> 00:24:58.079
 or plumber

00:24:58.079 --> 00:24:58.640
 that they

00:24:58.640 --> 00:24:59.160
 can recommend

00:24:59.160 --> 00:24:59.559
 to their

00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:00.039
 friends.

00:25:01.620 --> 00:25:02.319
 You know,

00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:03.980
 hard to

00:25:03.980 --> 00:25:04.279
 find.

00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:08.460
 we know

00:25:08.460 --> 00:25:08.960
 the living

00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:09.579
 God,

00:25:11.139 --> 00:25:12.119
 immortal

00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:12.579
 and

00:25:12.579 --> 00:25:13.079
 invisible.

00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:15.019
 He is

00:25:15.019 --> 00:25:15.700
 ours.

00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:18.899
 The vast

00:25:18.899 --> 00:25:19.279
 heavens

00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:20.079
 themselves,

00:25:20.500 --> 00:25:21.180
 God says,

00:25:21.420 --> 00:25:22.059
 the vast

00:25:22.059 --> 00:25:22.559
 heavens which

00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:23.220
 obey every

00:25:23.220 --> 00:25:23.779
 command of

00:25:23.779 --> 00:25:24.440
 their creator,

00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:25.680
 they shudder

00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:27.480
 at our

00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:28.420
 idolatry.

00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:30.099
 Verse 12,

00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:31.160
 be appalled,

00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:31.980
 O heavens,

00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:32.859
 at this.

00:25:33.579 --> 00:25:34.180
 Be shocked,

00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:34.839
 be utterly

00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:35.420
 desolate,

00:25:35.660 --> 00:25:36.319
 declares the

00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:36.619
 Lord,

00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:37.240
 for my

00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:37.720
 people have

00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:38.079
 committed

00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:39.099
 two evils.

00:25:39.539 --> 00:25:40.099
 They have

00:25:40.099 --> 00:25:40.819
 forsaken

00:25:40.819 --> 00:25:41.539
 me,

00:25:42.420 --> 00:25:43.099
 the fountain

00:25:43.099 --> 00:25:43.819
 of living

00:25:43.819 --> 00:25:44.460
 waters,

00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:46.000
 and hewed

00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:46.779
 out cisterns

00:25:46.779 --> 00:25:47.359
 for themselves,

00:25:47.539 --> 00:25:48.399
 broken cisterns

00:25:48.399 --> 00:25:49.079
 that can hold

00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:49.720
 no water.

00:25:53.299 --> 00:25:53.899
 It's utter

00:25:53.899 --> 00:25:54.460
 folly to

00:25:54.460 --> 00:25:54.980
 forsake the

00:25:54.980 --> 00:25:55.200
 Lord,

00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:55.660
 for he

00:25:55.660 --> 00:25:56.240
 himself

00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:57.859
 is our

00:25:57.859 --> 00:25:58.480
 supreme

00:25:58.480 --> 00:25:59.139
 glory.

00:25:59.319 --> 00:25:59.759
 Thirdly,

00:26:00.259 --> 00:26:00.799
 verse 14

00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:01.240
 to 19,

00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:01.640
 it's utter

00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:02.019
 folly to

00:26:02.019 --> 00:26:02.460
 forsake the

00:26:02.460 --> 00:26:02.640
 Lord,

00:26:02.700 --> 00:26:03.120
 because to

00:26:03.120 --> 00:26:03.519
 do so

00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:04.059
 leads to

00:26:04.059 --> 00:26:04.500
 our own

00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:04.859
 ruin.

00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:06.960
 Verse 14,

00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:07.720
 is Israel

00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:08.220
 a slave?

00:26:08.339 --> 00:26:08.620
 Is he a

00:26:08.620 --> 00:26:09.079
 home-born

00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:09.539
 servant?

00:26:09.740 --> 00:26:10.160
 Why then

00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:10.420
 has he

00:26:10.420 --> 00:26:10.839
 become a

00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:11.140
 prey?

00:26:11.700 --> 00:26:12.400
 The lions

00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:13.000
 have roared

00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:13.720
 against him,

00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:14.579
 they have

00:26:14.579 --> 00:26:15.359
 roared loudly,

00:26:15.539 --> 00:26:15.799
 they have

00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:16.240
 made his

00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:16.819
 land a

00:26:16.819 --> 00:26:17.220
 waste,

00:26:17.579 --> 00:26:18.120
 his cities

00:26:18.120 --> 00:26:18.599
 are a

00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:18.940
 ruin

00:26:18.940 --> 00:26:19.680
 without

00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:20.500
 inhabitant.

00:26:21.180 --> 00:26:21.559
 Israel

00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:21.980
 was not

00:26:21.980 --> 00:26:22.460
 redeemed

00:26:22.460 --> 00:26:23.120
 from Egypt

00:26:23.120 --> 00:26:23.779
 only to be

00:26:23.779 --> 00:26:24.259
 enslaved

00:26:24.259 --> 00:26:24.799
 again.

00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:25.799
 They were

00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:26.220
 not given

00:26:26.220 --> 00:26:26.960
 the plentiful

00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:27.480
 land,

00:26:27.620 --> 00:26:28.180
 only to have

00:26:28.180 --> 00:26:28.799
 it plundered

00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:29.180
 by the

00:26:29.180 --> 00:26:29.539
 nations

00:26:29.539 --> 00:26:30.100
 surrounding

00:26:30.100 --> 00:26:30.440
 them,

00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:30.940
 and yet

00:26:30.940 --> 00:26:31.620
 that is

00:26:31.620 --> 00:26:31.960
 what had

00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:32.299
 happened.

00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:35.440
 And God's

00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:35.940
 people had

00:26:35.940 --> 00:26:36.480
 no one to

00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:36.960
 blame but

00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:37.539
 themselves.

00:26:38.380 --> 00:26:39.100
 Verse 17,

00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:39.720
 have you

00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:40.420
 not brought

00:26:40.420 --> 00:26:41.039
 this upon

00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:43.100
 yourself by

00:26:43.100 --> 00:26:43.900
 forsaking the

00:26:43.900 --> 00:26:44.360
 Lord your

00:26:44.360 --> 00:26:45.080
 God when he

00:26:45.080 --> 00:26:45.620
 led you in

00:26:45.620 --> 00:26:46.019
 the way?

00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:49.259
 Verse 19,

00:26:49.500 --> 00:26:50.420
 your evil

00:26:50.420 --> 00:26:51.380
 will chastise

00:26:51.380 --> 00:26:51.759
 you,

00:26:52.380 --> 00:26:53.039
 and your

00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:53.660
 apostasy

00:26:53.660 --> 00:26:54.320
 will reprove

00:26:54.320 --> 00:26:54.660
 you.

00:26:55.840 --> 00:26:56.539
 Know and

00:26:56.539 --> 00:26:57.299
 see that it

00:26:57.299 --> 00:26:57.980
 is evil

00:26:57.980 --> 00:26:59.099
 and bitter

00:26:59.099 --> 00:26:59.980
 for you

00:26:59.980 --> 00:27:00.779
 to forsake

00:27:00.779 --> 00:27:01.380
 the Lord

00:27:01.380 --> 00:27:02.180
 your God.

00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:03.759
 The fear

00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:04.079
 of me

00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:04.460
 is not

00:27:04.460 --> 00:27:04.819
 in you,

00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:05.180
 declares

00:27:05.180 --> 00:27:05.620
 the Lord

00:27:05.620 --> 00:27:06.019
 God of

00:27:06.019 --> 00:27:06.360
 hosts.

00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:07.240
 See that it

00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:07.779
 is evil

00:27:07.779 --> 00:27:08.180
 and bitter

00:27:08.180 --> 00:27:08.759
 to forsake

00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:09.299
 the Lord.

00:27:09.740 --> 00:27:10.039
 Forsaking

00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:10.420
 the Lord

00:27:10.420 --> 00:27:10.880
 is evil,

00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:11.400
 it's wicked,

00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:12.460
 it's treacherous.

00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:14.140
 You know,

00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:14.759
 Aussies tend

00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:15.220
 to think

00:27:15.220 --> 00:27:15.559
 that,

00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:16.120
 you know,

00:27:16.259 --> 00:27:17.059
 our lives

00:27:17.059 --> 00:27:17.380
 are our

00:27:17.380 --> 00:27:17.660
 own,

00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:18.140
 we just

00:27:18.140 --> 00:27:18.660
 belong to

00:27:18.660 --> 00:27:19.160
 ourselves,

00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:19.640
 and,

00:27:19.900 --> 00:27:20.120
 you know,

00:27:20.180 --> 00:27:20.720
 maybe we'd

00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:21.079
 be doing

00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:21.440
 God a

00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:22.120
 huge favour

00:27:22.120 --> 00:27:22.519
 if we

00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:22.819
 were to

00:27:22.819 --> 00:27:23.240
 give him

00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:23.660
 a wave

00:27:23.660 --> 00:27:24.140
 or a nod

00:27:24.140 --> 00:27:24.620
 every now

00:27:24.620 --> 00:27:24.980
 and then.

00:27:25.259 --> 00:27:25.579
 But of

00:27:25.579 --> 00:27:25.759
 course,

00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:26.079
 that's

00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:26.519
 deception.

00:27:28.019 --> 00:27:28.839
 We belong

00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:29.279
 to him,

00:27:30.019 --> 00:27:30.740
 he owns

00:27:30.740 --> 00:27:31.159
 us,

00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:31.980
 we owe

00:27:31.980 --> 00:27:32.419
 him our

00:27:32.419 --> 00:27:32.819
 worship,

00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:33.599
 our love,

00:27:33.919 --> 00:27:34.619
 our obedience,

00:27:35.139 --> 00:27:35.779
 our devotion,

00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:37.139
 our trust.

00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:38.720
 God is not

00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:39.379
 a stranger

00:27:39.379 --> 00:27:39.819
 in the

00:27:39.819 --> 00:27:40.159
 universe,

00:27:40.419 --> 00:27:40.839
 he is the

00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:41.319
 owner of

00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:41.720
 the universe,

00:27:41.939 --> 00:27:42.339
 he is our

00:27:42.339 --> 00:27:42.639
 maker,

00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:43.379
 our master,

00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:44.000
 our Lord

00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:44.339
 and our

00:27:44.339 --> 00:27:44.799
 God,

00:27:45.899 --> 00:27:46.579
 our Father,

00:27:47.679 --> 00:27:48.000
 and it

00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:48.639
 is evil

00:27:48.639 --> 00:27:49.539
 to forsake

00:27:49.539 --> 00:27:49.799
 him.

00:27:51.579 --> 00:27:52.559
 But also,

00:27:53.399 --> 00:27:54.559
 it's bitter

00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:55.779
 to forsake

00:27:55.779 --> 00:27:56.099
 him.

00:27:57.500 --> 00:27:58.279
 For that

00:27:58.279 --> 00:27:58.940
 way leads

00:27:58.940 --> 00:27:59.399
 only to

00:27:59.399 --> 00:28:00.159
 desolation

00:28:00.159 --> 00:28:00.859
 and death

00:28:00.859 --> 00:28:01.559
 and misery

00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:02.179
 and ruin.

00:28:03.179 --> 00:28:03.839
 There's no

00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:04.619
 life apart

00:28:04.619 --> 00:28:05.000
 from the

00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:05.339
 fountain,

00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:06.319
 there's no

00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:07.240
 joy apart

00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:07.679
 from his

00:28:07.679 --> 00:28:08.359
 blessedness,

00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:09.000
 there's no

00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:09.819
 peace apart

00:28:09.819 --> 00:28:10.240
 from his

00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:10.679
 love.

00:28:12.139 --> 00:28:12.399
 What

00:28:12.399 --> 00:28:12.960
 utter

00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:14.059
 folly

00:28:14.059 --> 00:28:15.579
 to forsake

00:28:15.579 --> 00:28:16.019
 the Lord

00:28:16.019 --> 00:28:16.579
 our God.

00:28:19.259 --> 00:28:19.960
 The rest

00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:20.359
 of chapter

00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:20.799
 two

00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:22.480
 continues in

00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:22.879
 the same

00:28:22.879 --> 00:28:23.159
 vein,

00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:23.519
 we won't

00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:23.800
 look at

00:28:23.800 --> 00:28:23.940
 it.

00:28:24.420 --> 00:28:24.640
 I had

00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:24.900
 a few

00:28:24.900 --> 00:28:25.519
 verses

00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:25.740
 I was

00:28:25.740 --> 00:28:25.860
 going to

00:28:25.860 --> 00:28:26.120
 show you

00:28:26.120 --> 00:28:26.779
 but we're

00:28:26.779 --> 00:28:28.360
 shortish on

00:28:28.360 --> 00:28:28.900
 time so we'll

00:28:28.900 --> 00:28:29.320
 skip over

00:28:29.320 --> 00:28:29.759
 those.

00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:31.019
 But it

00:28:31.019 --> 00:28:31.580
 continues in

00:28:31.580 --> 00:28:31.920
 the same

00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:32.240
 vein.

00:28:34.100 --> 00:28:34.580
 Can you

00:28:34.580 --> 00:28:35.160
 see,

00:28:35.540 --> 00:28:36.019
 brothers and

00:28:36.019 --> 00:28:36.360
 sisters,

00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:37.000
 what utter

00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:37.620
 folly it is

00:28:37.620 --> 00:28:38.120
 to forsake

00:28:38.120 --> 00:28:38.620
 the Lord

00:28:38.620 --> 00:28:40.460
 after all

00:28:40.460 --> 00:28:40.820
 the good

00:28:40.820 --> 00:28:41.259
 he's done

00:28:41.259 --> 00:28:41.860
 for us

00:28:41.860 --> 00:28:42.660
 because he

00:28:42.660 --> 00:28:43.300
 himself is

00:28:43.300 --> 00:28:44.080
 our incomparable

00:28:44.080 --> 00:28:45.360
 glory when

00:28:45.360 --> 00:28:46.180
 forsaking him

00:28:46.180 --> 00:28:47.040
 leads only to

00:28:47.040 --> 00:28:47.600
 misery and

00:28:47.600 --> 00:28:47.880
 ruin.

00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:50.519
 Exchanging

00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:51.120
 the fountain

00:28:51.120 --> 00:28:51.620
 of living

00:28:51.620 --> 00:28:53.100
 water for

00:28:53.099 --> 00:28:53.480
 broken

00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:54.539
 cisterns is

00:28:54.539 --> 00:28:55.419
 never a

00:28:55.419 --> 00:28:56.059
 good deal.

00:28:58.899 --> 00:28:59.719
 I have

00:28:59.719 --> 00:29:00.480
 a friend

00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:02.519
 who forsook

00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:03.119
 the Lord

00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:04.039
 for a

00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:04.519
 relationship

00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:04.879
 with a

00:29:04.879 --> 00:29:05.539
 non-believer.

00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:07.740
 Another

00:29:07.740 --> 00:29:08.339
 friend who

00:29:08.339 --> 00:29:08.939
 forsook the

00:29:08.939 --> 00:29:09.559
 Lord out

00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:10.179
 of intellectual

00:29:10.179 --> 00:29:11.159
 pride and

00:29:11.159 --> 00:29:11.879
 in order to

00:29:11.879 --> 00:29:12.559
 fit in with

00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:13.099
 the world.

00:29:14.439 --> 00:29:15.079
 Another

00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:15.599
 friend who

00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:16.179
 forsook the

00:29:16.179 --> 00:29:17.119
 Lord as

00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:17.959
 academic and

00:29:17.959 --> 00:29:18.439
 professional

00:29:18.439 --> 00:29:19.119
 accomplishment

00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:19.719
 gradually

00:29:19.719 --> 00:29:20.799
 squeezed out

00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:21.379
 his love

00:29:21.379 --> 00:29:21.859
 for God.

00:29:21.859 --> 00:29:22.479
 God

00:29:22.479 --> 00:29:24.939
 and what

00:29:24.939 --> 00:29:25.719
 did any

00:29:25.719 --> 00:29:26.139
 of them

00:29:26.139 --> 00:29:27.459
 gain by

00:29:27.459 --> 00:29:27.959
 forsaking

00:29:27.959 --> 00:29:28.539
 the Lord?

00:29:31.299 --> 00:29:32.019
 Nothing.

00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:37.159
 And yet

00:29:37.159 --> 00:29:38.159
 aren't we

00:29:38.159 --> 00:29:38.679
 prone to

00:29:38.679 --> 00:29:39.059
 the same

00:29:39.059 --> 00:29:39.599
 defection?

00:29:41.819 --> 00:29:42.500
 Little

00:29:42.500 --> 00:29:43.019
 children

00:29:43.019 --> 00:29:44.399
 keep

00:29:44.399 --> 00:29:44.939
 yourselves

00:29:44.939 --> 00:29:45.579
 from idols.

00:29:45.579 --> 00:29:47.960
 and what

00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:48.919
 are we

00:29:48.919 --> 00:29:49.539
 tempted to

00:29:49.539 --> 00:29:50.099
 go after

00:29:50.099 --> 00:29:50.779
 worthlessness?

00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:52.779
 How often

00:29:52.779 --> 00:29:53.240
 do we

00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:54.939
 exchange our

00:29:54.939 --> 00:29:56.199
 glory for

00:29:56.199 --> 00:29:56.579
 that which

00:29:56.579 --> 00:29:57.099
 does not

00:29:57.099 --> 00:29:57.500
 profit?

00:29:58.899 --> 00:29:59.659
 How often

00:29:59.659 --> 00:30:00.019
 are our

00:30:00.019 --> 00:30:00.359
 hearts

00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:01.339
 captivated by

00:30:01.339 --> 00:30:02.559
 trivial things

00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:03.299
 rather than

00:30:03.299 --> 00:30:04.139
 the grandeur

00:30:04.139 --> 00:30:04.799
 and splendor

00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:05.319
 of God?

00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:09.399
 Jeremiah 2

00:30:09.399 --> 00:30:09.799
 has many

00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:12.039
 metaphors for

00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:12.500
 Israel's

00:30:12.500 --> 00:30:13.000
 relationship

00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:13.659
 with God

00:30:13.659 --> 00:30:14.480
 but there's

00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:15.419
 one central

00:30:15.419 --> 00:30:16.099
 recurring

00:30:16.099 --> 00:30:16.619
 metaphor

00:30:16.619 --> 00:30:17.139
 throughout

00:30:17.139 --> 00:30:17.819
 these chapters

00:30:17.819 --> 00:30:18.240
 and that

00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:18.759
 is of

00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:19.480
 Israel as

00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:20.500
 an unfaithful

00:30:20.500 --> 00:30:21.259
 bride

00:30:21.259 --> 00:30:22.460
 estranged

00:30:22.460 --> 00:30:22.919
 from her

00:30:22.919 --> 00:30:23.279
 husband.

00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:25.839
 And by

00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:26.200
 the time

00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:26.439
 we get

00:30:26.439 --> 00:30:26.819
 to chapter

00:30:26.819 --> 00:30:27.819
 3 God

00:30:27.819 --> 00:30:28.559
 asks the

00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:29.159
 question

00:30:29.159 --> 00:30:29.619
 have

00:30:29.619 --> 00:30:30.259
 Israel

00:30:30.259 --> 00:30:31.159
 and Judah

00:30:31.159 --> 00:30:32.379
 passed

00:30:32.379 --> 00:30:33.099
 the point

00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:33.599
 of no

00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:34.139
 return?

00:30:34.140 --> 00:30:36.500
 To look

00:30:36.500 --> 00:30:37.200
 just briefly

00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:37.520
 at a few

00:30:37.520 --> 00:30:37.940
 verses here

00:30:37.940 --> 00:30:38.440
 in chapter

00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:39.020
 3 verse

00:30:39.020 --> 00:30:39.340
 1

00:30:39.340 --> 00:30:40.240
 if a man

00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:40.940
 divorces

00:30:40.940 --> 00:30:41.720
 his wife

00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:42.600
 and she

00:30:42.600 --> 00:30:43.360
 goes from

00:30:43.360 --> 00:30:43.780
 him and

00:30:43.780 --> 00:30:44.140
 becomes

00:30:44.140 --> 00:30:44.540
 another

00:30:44.540 --> 00:30:45.100
 man's

00:30:45.100 --> 00:30:45.540
 wife

00:30:45.540 --> 00:30:47.720
 that's

00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:48.240
 what Israel

00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:48.720
 had done

00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:49.300
 left the

00:30:49.300 --> 00:30:50.320
 Lord and

00:30:50.320 --> 00:30:51.040
 married

00:30:51.040 --> 00:30:51.780
 someone else

00:30:51.780 --> 00:30:52.520
 gone after

00:30:52.520 --> 00:30:53.240
 other gods

00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:53.980
 if a man

00:30:53.980 --> 00:30:54.340
 divorces

00:30:54.340 --> 00:30:54.720
 his wife

00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:54.960
 and she

00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:55.380
 goes from

00:30:55.380 --> 00:30:55.500
 him

00:30:55.500 --> 00:30:55.800
 and becomes

00:30:55.800 --> 00:30:56.060
 another

00:30:56.060 --> 00:30:56.460
 man's

00:30:56.460 --> 00:30:56.759
 wife

00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:57.840
 will he

00:30:57.840 --> 00:30:58.780
 return to

00:30:58.780 --> 00:30:59.180
 her?

00:31:00.180 --> 00:31:00.920
 Would not

00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:01.800
 that land

00:31:01.800 --> 00:31:02.380
 be greatly

00:31:02.380 --> 00:31:02.900
 polluted?

00:31:04.140 --> 00:31:04.540
 You have

00:31:04.540 --> 00:31:05.160
 played the

00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:05.600
 whore with

00:31:05.600 --> 00:31:06.300
 many lovers

00:31:06.300 --> 00:31:07.060
 and would

00:31:07.060 --> 00:31:08.520
 you return

00:31:08.520 --> 00:31:09.200
 to me

00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:09.900
 declares

00:31:09.900 --> 00:31:10.440
 the Lord?

00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:11.360
 See what

00:31:11.360 --> 00:31:11.820
 God's saying

00:31:11.820 --> 00:31:12.100
 here?

00:31:13.020 --> 00:31:13.700
 He's saying

00:31:13.700 --> 00:31:15.060
 is it too

00:31:15.060 --> 00:31:15.520
 late?

00:31:18.180 --> 00:31:18.740
 God

00:31:18.740 --> 00:31:19.140
 would he

00:31:19.140 --> 00:31:19.480
 return?

00:31:19.540 --> 00:31:20.259
 God won't

00:31:20.259 --> 00:31:20.800
 return to

00:31:20.800 --> 00:31:21.140
 them.

00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:23.240
 They won't

00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:23.800
 return to

00:31:23.800 --> 00:31:24.140
 him.

00:31:24.360 --> 00:31:24.680
 Have they

00:31:24.680 --> 00:31:25.280
 passed the

00:31:25.280 --> 00:31:25.720
 point of

00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:26.340
 no return?

00:31:26.339 --> 00:31:30.179
 God

00:31:30.179 --> 00:31:30.419
 says

00:31:30.419 --> 00:31:30.859
 even if

00:31:30.859 --> 00:31:30.980
 you

00:31:30.980 --> 00:31:31.319
 make a

00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:31.740
 pretense

00:31:31.740 --> 00:31:31.899
 of

00:31:31.899 --> 00:31:32.279
 returning

00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:32.519
 to

00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:32.679
 me

00:31:32.679 --> 00:31:32.859
 it

00:31:32.859 --> 00:31:33.059
 won't

00:31:33.059 --> 00:31:33.240
 be

00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:33.799
 sincere.

00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:34.679
 Verse

00:31:34.679 --> 00:31:35.059
 4

00:31:35.059 --> 00:31:36.059
 Have you

00:31:36.059 --> 00:31:36.339
 not

00:31:36.339 --> 00:31:36.740
 just

00:31:36.740 --> 00:31:37.000
 now

00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:37.419
 called

00:31:37.419 --> 00:31:37.599
 to

00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:37.759
 me

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:37.980
 my

00:31:37.980 --> 00:31:38.439
 father?

00:31:38.699 --> 00:31:38.879
 You're

00:31:38.879 --> 00:31:39.039
 the

00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:39.399
 friend

00:31:39.399 --> 00:31:39.579
 of

00:31:39.579 --> 00:31:39.799
 my

00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:40.159
 youth.

00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:38.619
 So

00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:15.760
 Josiah

00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:15.880
 is

 who

00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:16.500
 was

00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:16.760
 king

00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:17.100
 when

00:34:17.100 --> 00:34:18.280

00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:44.139
 she

00:35:52.099 --> 00:35:52.300
 did

00:35:52.300 --> 00:35:52.500
