00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.960
 If you could turn in your Bibles to Joshua. I haven't got a page number.

00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:11.660
 I always encourage people to have a Bible.

00:00:13.179 --> 00:00:21.059
 And today we, I don't want to say especially need a Bible, we always need a Bible,

00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:24.019
 but we're going to be looking at a lot today.

00:00:24.019 --> 00:00:31.600
 We're going to be covering a thousand years, at least, and about six books.

00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:38.799
 So that's why you need a Bible to be able to follow along as we look at God's big story.

00:00:40.420 --> 00:00:44.980
 So a thousand years in 30 minutes, thereabouts.

00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:53.100
 Well, let's pray and ask for God's help.

00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:55.720
 As we look at his word together.

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.719
 Our Father God, we thank you for your word, the Bible.

00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:19.680
 We thank you for the way in which it has been preserved over many hundreds and thousands of years for us today.

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:24.440
 Your word written down in our language.

00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:32.480
 So that we today can hear the voice of God speaking to us.

00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:42.400
 Father, we ask for the help of your Holy Spirit that we may understand better the big story of God.

00:01:43.460 --> 00:01:45.740
 And what it teaches us about you.

00:01:46.540 --> 00:01:49.040
 And what it says to us about us.

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:54.200
 And that we would be people who are shaped by this story.

00:01:55.480 --> 00:02:00.100
 And who learn what it is to live as your subjects.

00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:03.980
 People who follow the King of Kings.

00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:08.439
 We ask for your help this morning in Jesus' name.

00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:09.500
 Amen.

00:02:09.500 --> 00:02:21.680
 Well, to us, it's just another death notice that you would read in the local newspaper.

00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:27.060
 But for the people of Israel, it was absolutely devastating.

00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.139
 Look at Joshua chapter 1, verse 1.

00:02:31.139 --> 00:02:35.159
 See what it says?

00:02:36.099 --> 00:02:39.079
 After the death of Moses.

00:02:41.099 --> 00:02:47.239
 Now we only need to read his obituary to see what a loss Moses was to the people.

00:02:48.019 --> 00:02:52.579
 Just look back one page to the very end of Deuteronomy, the book before.

00:02:53.419 --> 00:02:55.799
 Deuteronomy 34, verse 10.

00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:05.219
 Here's what appeared in the Israelite daily news the day Moses died, if you like.

00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:07.040
 Verse 10.

00:03:07.140 --> 00:03:13.380
 Since then no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,

00:03:13.540 --> 00:03:18.560
 who did all those miraculous signs and wonders the Lord sent him to do in Egypt,

00:03:18.900 --> 00:03:23.260
 to Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land.

00:03:23.259 --> 00:03:33.879
 For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:39.439
 So this great leader who had led the people for over 40 years,

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:44.180
 bringing them out of slavery from Egypt into a new place,

00:03:44.519 --> 00:03:47.340
 their leader Moses is now dead.

00:03:48.219 --> 00:03:50.419
 So what are God's people going to do?

00:03:50.739 --> 00:03:52.139
 Who's going to lead them now?

00:03:52.139 --> 00:03:55.039
 Who's going to be the one to speak God's word to them?

00:03:55.339 --> 00:03:59.139
 Who's going to step in when they fail and fall?

00:04:01.359 --> 00:04:03.179
 Well, Moses may die,

00:04:03.839 --> 00:04:11.279
 but God in his love continues to rule over his people through the person he has chosen.

00:04:12.299 --> 00:04:15.979
 So let's read Joshua chapter 1, verses 1 to 3.

00:04:15.979 --> 00:04:20.459
 It's like a new big section in the story.

00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:21.939
 Moses has died.

00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:24.279
 Enter Joshua.

00:04:24.899 --> 00:04:25.480
 Verse 1.

00:04:25.539 --> 00:04:27.980
 After the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord,

00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.860
 the Lord said to Joshua, son of Nun,

00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:32.579
 Moses' assistant,

00:04:33.539 --> 00:04:35.620
 Moses, my servant, is dead.

00:04:35.620 --> 00:04:44.600
 Now then, you and all these people get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give them to the Israelites.

00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:51.660
 I will give you every place where you set your foot as I promised Moses.

00:04:51.660 --> 00:04:54.439
 So leaders may die,

00:04:54.860 --> 00:05:01.160
 but God in his love continues to provide his people.

00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:07.500
 And look what happens when God's leaders and his rule is followed.

00:05:07.700 --> 00:05:11.920
 If you go to the very end of Joshua, chapter 23, verse 14.

00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:15.160
 The very end of the book.

00:05:18.640 --> 00:05:20.420
 So Moses has died.

00:05:21.080 --> 00:05:22.540
 Joshua has raised up.

00:05:22.980 --> 00:05:25.520
 And God's promises continue.

00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:30.079
 So look what it says, chapter 23, verse 14.

00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.979
 Now I am about to go to the way of all the earth.

00:05:36.039 --> 00:05:37.779
 In other words, I am about to die.

00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.299
 You know with all your heart and soul

00:05:41.299 --> 00:05:47.500
 that not one of all the good promises the Lord your God gave you has failed.

00:05:48.219 --> 00:05:50.539
 Every promise has been fulfilled.

00:05:51.359 --> 00:05:53.699
 Not one has failed.

00:05:53.699 --> 00:05:57.120
 You see, when God's rule is in place,

00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.740
 when his chosen leader is in place,

00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:02.719
 there is great blessing.

00:06:03.579 --> 00:06:07.659
 God's rule is always best and always right for his people.

00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:12.120
 But, when his rule is absent or ignored,

00:06:13.180 --> 00:06:14.800
 it is disastrous.

00:06:16.159 --> 00:06:20.439
 Have a look in the next book, Judges, chapter 2, verse 8.

00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:29.560
 Joshua, or Judges, chapter 2, verse 8.

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.819
 Joshua, son of Nun, the servant of the Lord,

00:06:33.459 --> 00:06:35.980
 but he died at the age of 110.

00:06:36.220 --> 00:06:37.959
 So, another leader has died,

00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:39.680
 and we're asking the same question again.

00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:41.659
 Now what are the people going to do?

00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:44.399
 Well, look down at verse 10.

00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:49.599
 After that whole generation had been gathered to their fathers,

00:06:50.739 --> 00:06:52.759
 another generation grew up,

00:06:53.239 --> 00:06:56.500
 who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel.

00:06:57.479 --> 00:07:00.799
 Then the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord

00:07:00.799 --> 00:07:02.199
 and served the Baals.

00:07:03.159 --> 00:07:05.879
 They forsook the Lord, the God of their fathers,

00:07:05.979 --> 00:07:07.339
 who had brought them out of Egypt.

00:07:07.339 --> 00:07:11.119
 They followed and worshipped various gods of the peoples around them.

00:07:11.479 --> 00:07:13.079
 They provoked the Lord to anger,

00:07:13.179 --> 00:07:17.419
 because they forsook him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.

00:07:18.219 --> 00:07:19.979
 In his anger against Israel,

00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:22.899
 the Lord handed them over to raiders who plundered them.

00:07:23.259 --> 00:07:25.559
 He sold them to their enemies all around,

00:07:25.919 --> 00:07:28.239
 whom they were no longer able to resist.

00:07:29.219 --> 00:07:31.519
 Whenever Israel went out to fight,

00:07:31.679 --> 00:07:34.679
 the hand of the Lord was against them to defeat them,

00:07:34.899 --> 00:07:36.839
 just as he had sworn to them.

00:07:37.339 --> 00:07:39.759
 They were in great distress.

00:07:41.619 --> 00:07:45.619
 Do you see what happens when God's loving rule is ignored and rejected?

00:07:46.060 --> 00:07:47.919
 When there's no leader in place,

00:07:48.099 --> 00:07:50.079
 it's just chaos and disorder.

00:07:51.359 --> 00:07:55.019
 But as we know with the story that we've been looking at so far,

00:07:55.659 --> 00:07:59.159
 God always continues to provide for his people.

00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:03.379
 And he continues to restore when things have been broken.

00:08:03.919 --> 00:08:06.739
 So look down at verse 16 of chapter 2.

00:08:07.339 --> 00:08:09.560
 Then the Lord raised up judges.

00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:11.619
 So here come new leaders,

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:13.359
 new people,

00:08:13.939 --> 00:08:16.459
 who saved them out of the hands of the raiders.

00:08:17.500 --> 00:08:18.560
 Verse 18.

00:08:19.339 --> 00:08:21.719
 Whenever the Lord raised up a judge for them,

00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:23.199
 he was with the judge,

00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.019
 and he saved them out of the hands of their enemies

00:08:26.019 --> 00:08:27.539
 as long as the judge lived.

00:08:27.540 --> 00:08:34.000
 For the Lord had compassion on them as they groaned under those who oppressed and afflicted them.

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.419
 But when the judge died,

00:08:37.419 --> 00:08:42.899
 the people returned to ways even more corrupt than those of their fathers,

00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:47.820
 following other gods and serving and worshipping them.

00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:53.160
 They refused to give up their evil practices and their stubborn ways.

00:08:54.500 --> 00:08:55.000
 You see,

00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.000
 without a leader,

00:08:58.080 --> 00:08:59.960
 without the rule of God,

00:09:00.379 --> 00:09:02.180
 the people rebel.

00:09:02.179 --> 00:09:04.739
 In fact,

00:09:05.459 --> 00:09:10.039
 the book of Judges ends in absolute anarchy.

00:09:10.979 --> 00:09:13.000
 Have a look at chapter 21,

00:09:13.199 --> 00:09:14.239
 verse 25,

00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.399
 right at the very end of the book of Judges.

00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:20.620
 Chapter 21,

00:09:20.859 --> 00:09:22.479
 verse 25.

00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.639
 When God's loving rule is rejected,

00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.460
 it just brings chaos and disorder,

00:09:29.019 --> 00:09:31.399
 and it ends in absolute anarchy.

00:09:32.680 --> 00:09:33.899
 Chapter 21,

00:09:34.060 --> 00:09:34.840
 verse 25.

00:09:36.060 --> 00:09:37.440
 In those days,

00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:39.899
 Israel had no king.

00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.440
 Everyone did as he saw fit.

00:09:46.460 --> 00:09:48.279
 It's a terrible end

00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.460
 to what has been going on.

00:09:50.460 --> 00:09:52.200
 Now,

00:09:52.259 --> 00:09:55.080
 I know some people are studying for their leaving cert.

00:09:55.180 --> 00:09:57.800
 When I did my leaving cert a few years ago,

00:09:58.420 --> 00:10:02.340
 on the English syllabus was William Golding's Lord of the Flies.

00:10:02.460 --> 00:10:04.139
 I don't know if any of you have ever read it.

00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:06.300
 It's a fictional story

00:10:06.300 --> 00:10:09.780
 about a group of well-educated English schoolboys

00:10:09.780 --> 00:10:11.540
 who get marooned on an island,

00:10:12.100 --> 00:10:14.240
 on this desert island,

00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:15.300
 a tropical island.

00:10:15.980 --> 00:10:17.780
 They're without adult supervision.

00:10:18.420 --> 00:10:19.379
 There's no leadership.

00:10:19.379 --> 00:10:21.259
 And very quickly,

00:10:21.460 --> 00:10:23.700
 disorder and chaos begin to reign.

00:10:24.139 --> 00:10:24.720
 The children,

00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:26.379
 who are all young teenagers,

00:10:27.179 --> 00:10:28.919
 all begin to bully each other.

00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:30.980
 They start fighting with each other,

00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:32.679
 and they form rival groups.

00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:34.879
 One of the children

00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:36.740
 stands out amongst all the rest.

00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:38.960
 He's given a nickname,

00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:39.799
 Piggy.

00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:43.080
 And he kept insisting to everybody else,

00:10:43.340 --> 00:10:44.720
 we need rules.

00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:46.680
 And here's what he says.

00:10:47.800 --> 00:10:50.279
 We've got to have rules and obey them.

00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:51.720
 After all,

00:10:51.800 --> 00:10:52.879
 we're not savages.

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:54.879
 Which is better,

00:10:55.220 --> 00:10:57.420
 to have rules and agree,

00:10:58.220 --> 00:11:01.320
 or go hunting and smashing and breaking things up?

00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:04.200
 Well,

00:11:04.260 --> 00:11:05.180
 he got his answer.

00:11:06.100 --> 00:11:09.240
 Not long after his desire for rules,

00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.800
 Piggy is violently killed by the other children.

00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:14.320
 You see,

00:11:14.379 --> 00:11:16.360
 it's a social comment of what happens

00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.720
 when you remove authority from society.

00:11:21.160 --> 00:11:21.660
 Anarchy.

00:11:22.659 --> 00:11:24.519
 All hell breaks loose.

00:11:25.319 --> 00:11:27.179
 And this is what we see around us

00:11:27.179 --> 00:11:28.279
 every single day.

00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:29.419
 Everyone,

00:11:29.659 --> 00:11:32.219
 just as it was at the end of Judges,

00:11:32.659 --> 00:11:34.959
 everyone does as they see fit.

00:11:36.079 --> 00:11:37.399
 The only rules are,

00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:39.100
 there are no rules.

00:11:39.939 --> 00:11:42.519
 Whether it's the gang lords in Dublin streets,

00:11:42.839 --> 00:11:45.059
 or our breaking of the speed limit.

00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:49.139
 Whether it's people's desire to change the Eighth Amendment,

00:11:49.139 --> 00:11:52.419
 or refusing to pay our water tax.

00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.580
 We don't want to be told what to do.

00:11:55.819 --> 00:11:58.199
 We want to live as we please.

00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:01.360
 And all of this is a reflection

00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.539
 of a much deeper and more serious issue.

00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:10.600
 It's a rejection of God's loving rule.

00:12:12.299 --> 00:12:12.740
 You see,

00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:14.379
 life for the nation of Israel

00:12:14.379 --> 00:12:17.819
 has spiraled into complete disorder.

00:12:17.820 --> 00:12:20.260
 From the time of Moses,

00:12:20.400 --> 00:12:22.960
 as they'd come out into the promised land,

00:12:23.020 --> 00:12:23.800
 or towards it,

00:12:24.060 --> 00:12:25.180
 things were going well.

00:12:25.260 --> 00:12:27.760
 But as soon as they start rejecting leadership,

00:12:28.140 --> 00:12:30.180
 as they start pushing God out the way,

00:12:30.560 --> 00:12:32.400
 everything descends into chaos.

00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:35.240
 So they turn

00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:38.640
 to one of the last remaining priests,

00:12:39.280 --> 00:12:40.580
 whose name is Samuel.

00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:43.060
 Have a look at 1 Samuel,

00:12:43.500 --> 00:12:44.340
 chapter 8.

00:12:44.460 --> 00:12:46.500
 So it's a few pages on from Joshua.

00:12:46.500 --> 00:12:48.919
 You go from Joshua to Ruth,

00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:51.019
 and then into 1 Samuel,

00:12:51.299 --> 00:12:52.360
 chapter 8.

00:12:56.659 --> 00:12:58.759
 1 Samuel, chapter 8,

00:12:59.259 --> 00:13:00.220
 verse 4.

00:13:00.220 --> 00:13:13.320
 So all the elders of Israel gathered together,

00:13:13.620 --> 00:13:15.660
 and they came to Samuel at Ramah.

00:13:16.379 --> 00:13:17.300
 They said to him,

00:13:17.860 --> 00:13:19.240
 Samuel, you're old,

00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.700
 and your sons do not walk in your ways.

00:13:22.259 --> 00:13:24.720
 Now appoint a king to lead us,

00:13:25.040 --> 00:13:27.000
 such as all the other nations have.

00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.279
 Now it seems very honourable,

00:13:29.379 --> 00:13:29.919
 doesn't it?

00:13:30.539 --> 00:13:31.399
 Give us a king.

00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:34.440
 Maybe they want to get their act together

00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:36.000
 and start living in a right way.

00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:37.379
 Well, let's read on.

00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:38.000
 Verse 6.

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:39.419
 But when they said,

00:13:39.580 --> 00:13:41.299
 give us a king to lead us,

00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:43.860
 this displeased Samuel.

00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:45.940
 So he prayed to the Lord,

00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:47.659
 and the Lord told him,

00:13:48.259 --> 00:13:51.100
 listen to all that the people are saying to you.

00:13:51.100 --> 00:13:53.539
 It is not you they have rejected,

00:13:54.059 --> 00:13:57.279
 but they have rejected me as their king.

00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:02.399
 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day,

00:14:02.899 --> 00:14:05.559
 forsaking me and serving other gods,

00:14:05.939 --> 00:14:08.240
 so they are doing to you.

00:14:09.220 --> 00:14:11.799
 You see, the request appears to be good.

00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:13.899
 But deep down,

00:14:13.980 --> 00:14:17.480
 it's just another attempt to get rid of God's rule and authority.

00:14:18.419 --> 00:14:20.360
 Do you see what the people are asking for?

00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:22.279
 Look back at the end of verse 5.

00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:22.799
 They say,

00:14:23.299 --> 00:14:25.220
 we want a king to lead us,

00:14:25.579 --> 00:14:28.120
 such as all the other nations have.

00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:29.519
 You see,

00:14:29.579 --> 00:14:31.399
 we don't want to be God's people anymore.

00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:33.799
 We want to be like all the other nations.

00:14:34.299 --> 00:14:36.199
 We want to have a king of our choice.

00:14:36.319 --> 00:14:38.439
 A king who will do what we tell him to do.

00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:40.799
 We want to do things our way.

00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:43.159
 Verse 9.

00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:46.120
 God responds to them.

00:14:46.199 --> 00:14:47.199
 Now listen to them.

00:14:48.019 --> 00:14:49.519
 But warn them solemnly,

00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:53.199
 and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do.

00:14:55.500 --> 00:14:56.779
 It will be brutal

00:14:56.779 --> 00:14:59.679
 if they get the king of their choice.

00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:04.059
 It will be like them going back into Egypt all over again.

00:15:04.059 --> 00:15:06.000
 We're told what the king would be like.

00:15:06.139 --> 00:15:06.859
 Verse 17.

00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:10.259
 Talking about taxes.

00:15:10.979 --> 00:15:13.599
 He will take a tenth of your flocks,

00:15:13.839 --> 00:15:17.179
 and yourselves will become his slaves.

00:15:17.179 --> 00:15:19.219
 When that day comes,

00:15:19.219 --> 00:15:22.299
 you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen,

00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:25.500
 and the Lord will not answer you in that day.

00:15:26.259 --> 00:15:28.979
 But the people refused to listen to Samuel.

00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:30.839
 No, they said.

00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:32.719
 We want a king over us.

00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:34.839
 Then we should be like all the other nations,

00:15:34.959 --> 00:15:37.219
 with a king to lead us and go out before us

00:15:37.219 --> 00:15:38.539
 and fight our battles.

00:15:41.819 --> 00:15:44.759
 Their persistence to get rid of God

00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:46.799
 is frighteningly similar to today.

00:15:48.319 --> 00:15:50.779
 Why is it that nations around the world,

00:15:51.179 --> 00:15:52.720
 nations like North Korea,

00:15:53.220 --> 00:15:54.620
 Iraq, or Eritrea,

00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:57.120
 if you read the magazine I referred to earlier,

00:15:57.460 --> 00:15:59.139
 why have they made it illegal

00:15:59.139 --> 00:16:03.980
 to worship and to meet as we are right now?

00:16:03.980 --> 00:16:10.220
 Why is our media open to every kind of worldview,

00:16:11.180 --> 00:16:14.220
 but silences a biblical view?

00:16:15.580 --> 00:16:18.200
 Why do our universities and colleges

00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.080
 champion tolerance,

00:16:20.580 --> 00:16:25.759
 but encourage intolerance towards Christians?

00:16:27.620 --> 00:16:30.580
 Well, I don't think it's any difference

00:16:30.580 --> 00:16:32.759
 to what is going on in chapter 8 here,

00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:35.519
 because we want to be like everyone else.

00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:37.500
 We don't want God as king.

00:16:38.259 --> 00:16:40.319
 We want to live as we want

00:16:40.319 --> 00:16:41.519
 and do as we please

00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:43.299
 and make rules that we like

00:16:43.299 --> 00:16:45.539
 and live as ever we want.

00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:50.179
 Look at verse 21.

00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:55.279
 When Samuel heard all that the people said,

00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:58.179
 he repeated it before the Lord.

00:16:58.179 --> 00:17:00.379
 And the Lord answered,

00:17:01.059 --> 00:17:02.059
 listen to them

00:17:02.059 --> 00:17:04.159
 and give them a king.

00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:09.139
 You see, sometimes God in his judgment

00:17:09.139 --> 00:17:12.480
 gives us what we keep asking for.

00:17:13.179 --> 00:17:14.099
 You want a king?

00:17:14.859 --> 00:17:17.039
 You want to live life without me?

00:17:17.399 --> 00:17:18.559
 Well, here's your king.

00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:21.539
 And you can live under your own rules.

00:17:21.539 --> 00:17:24.779
 And it brought further chaos

00:17:24.779 --> 00:17:26.460
 and disorder and destruction.

00:17:28.059 --> 00:17:30.299
 You see, if we persist long enough

00:17:30.299 --> 00:17:33.220
 in wanting to live life our own way,

00:17:33.379 --> 00:17:35.039
 we get what we deserve.

00:17:36.299 --> 00:17:37.899
 And I think as we look across

00:17:37.899 --> 00:17:39.039
 even our own nation,

00:17:39.379 --> 00:17:41.039
 across the nations of the world,

00:17:41.339 --> 00:17:44.039
 why are there in so much turmoil?

00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:47.180
 Why are nations fighting against others?

00:17:47.180 --> 00:17:48.799
 Why is there terrorism?

00:17:49.220 --> 00:17:50.580
 Why is there brokenness?

00:17:52.360 --> 00:17:55.460
 Because God gives us what we ask for.

00:17:56.120 --> 00:17:58.200
 A world where there is no king.

00:17:59.360 --> 00:18:01.380
 Rather a king of our own choice.

00:18:02.259 --> 00:18:03.500
 A king that we want.

00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:07.759
 Well, as the story goes on,

00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:10.320
 they get the king as God had promised.

00:18:11.100 --> 00:18:12.240
 It was King Saul.

00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:14.440
 He was a brutal king

00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:16.060
 who treated them harshly.

00:18:16.059 --> 00:18:18.460
 But even though

00:18:18.460 --> 00:18:21.740
 God has been rejected by the people,

00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.179
 God's authority over the people remains.

00:18:26.099 --> 00:18:28.059
 So look what God has to say about it

00:18:28.059 --> 00:18:30.819
 in chapter 13, verse 13.

00:18:32.879 --> 00:18:34.940
 1 Samuel chapter 13.

00:18:36.619 --> 00:18:38.859
 So God is speaking to Saul

00:18:38.859 --> 00:18:40.579
 through Samuel.

00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:42.139
 Saul is the one who's the king.

00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:44.240
 But he has something to say to him.

00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:45.779
 Verse 13.

00:18:46.059 --> 00:18:48.519
 You acted foolishly,

00:18:48.659 --> 00:18:49.460
 Samuel said.

00:18:49.899 --> 00:18:51.839
 You have not kept the command

00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:53.259
 the Lord your God gave you.

00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:54.440
 If you had,

00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:56.419
 he would have established

00:18:56.419 --> 00:18:57.779
 your kingdom over Israel

00:18:57.779 --> 00:18:58.679
 for all time.

00:18:59.139 --> 00:19:00.559
 But now your kingdom

00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.039
 will not endure.

00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:04.440
 The Lord has sought out a man

00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:06.779
 after his own heart

00:19:06.779 --> 00:19:11.059
 and appointed him leader of his people

00:19:11.059 --> 00:19:13.299
 because you have not kept

00:19:13.299 --> 00:19:14.599
 the Lord's command.

00:19:16.059 --> 00:19:18.339
 Do you see this ongoing theme

00:19:18.339 --> 00:19:19.399
 that we've come across

00:19:19.399 --> 00:19:20.639
 time after time?

00:19:21.139 --> 00:19:22.519
 God loves his people.

00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:24.740
 He's jealous for his people.

00:19:24.740 --> 00:19:27.000
 He will not give up on the world

00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:28.240
 that he has created.

00:19:28.740 --> 00:19:29.879
 So God promises.

00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:30.359
 He says,

00:19:30.500 --> 00:19:32.200
 I'm going to step in once again

00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:34.299
 and I'm going to provide for you

00:19:34.299 --> 00:19:36.319
 a king of my choice.

00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:39.460
 A king who has a heart like God.

00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:42.120
 A king who's going to restore order.

00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:44.799
 A king who's going to bring blessing.

00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.919
 And that's what we find

00:19:48.919 --> 00:19:50.440
 that happens.

00:19:51.399 --> 00:19:53.680
 God installs his own king.

00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:57.259
 Have a look at 1 Samuel chapter 16

00:19:57.259 --> 00:19:59.960
 and verse 1.

00:20:05.139 --> 00:20:06.980
 The Lord said to Samuel,

00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:09.759
 How long will you mourn for Saul

00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:11.339
 since I have rejected him

00:20:11.339 --> 00:20:12.639
 as king over Israel?

00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:15.320
 Fill your horn with oil

00:20:15.320 --> 00:20:16.320
 and be on your way.

00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.120
 I'm sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem.

00:20:19.420 --> 00:20:21.780
 I have chosen one of his sons

00:20:21.780 --> 00:20:22.780
 to be king.

00:20:24.340 --> 00:20:26.380
 So Jesse, the father,

00:20:26.500 --> 00:20:28.360
 goes and gets all his sons together

00:20:28.360 --> 00:20:30.340
 except for one,

00:20:30.620 --> 00:20:32.020
 if you remember the story,

00:20:32.600 --> 00:20:34.300
 and brings them before Samuel.

00:20:35.259 --> 00:20:36.259
 Look at verse 7.

00:20:37.820 --> 00:20:39.660
 But the Lord said to Samuel,

00:20:39.660 --> 00:20:41.560
 Do not consider his appearance

00:20:41.560 --> 00:20:42.380
 or his height,

00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:44.940
 for I have rejected him.

00:20:45.620 --> 00:20:47.580
 The Lord does not look at the things

00:20:47.580 --> 00:20:48.620
 man looks at.

00:20:49.380 --> 00:20:51.400
 Man looks at the outward appearance.

00:20:52.060 --> 00:20:54.460
 But the Lord looks at the heart.

00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:56.960
 And so all these brothers,

00:20:57.140 --> 00:20:58.400
 strong and as rugged

00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:00.560
 and as brilliant as they are,

00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:01.700
 they're all rejected.

00:21:03.100 --> 00:21:04.500
 And one is chosen.

00:21:06.900 --> 00:21:07.580
 David.

00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:09.060
 Verse 13.

00:21:09.059 --> 00:21:12.359
 So Samuel took the horn of oil

00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:14.000
 and anointed him,

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:14.759
 that's David,

00:21:14.879 --> 00:21:16.879
 in the presence of his brothers.

00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:19.000
 And from that day on,

00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:20.399
 the Spirit of the Lord

00:21:20.399 --> 00:21:23.000
 came upon David in power.

00:21:24.139 --> 00:21:26.700
 Samuel then went to Ramah.

00:21:26.700 --> 00:21:29.279
 You see,

00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:31.299
 this is how God works.

00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:33.640
 He provides the king

00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:35.120
 of his choice.

00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:36.900
 He had called Moses.

00:21:37.360 --> 00:21:38.660
 He had called Joshua.

00:21:39.100 --> 00:21:40.559
 He had raised up judges

00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:41.900
 to rescue and deliver.

00:21:42.299 --> 00:21:44.220
 And now he brings his own king,

00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:44.740
 David,

00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:46.620
 and puts him in place.

00:21:47.580 --> 00:21:49.480
 And when David became king,

00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:51.980
 well, life under King David

00:21:51.980 --> 00:21:53.000
 was great.

00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:55.119
 It was a time of peace

00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:56.000
 and prosperity.

00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:57.680
 The people were living

00:21:57.680 --> 00:21:59.519
 under God's loving rule.

00:22:00.180 --> 00:22:01.119
 They had rest

00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:02.359
 from all their enemies.

00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:03.819
 Things were the way

00:22:03.819 --> 00:22:04.759
 they were meant to be.

00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:06.839
 It was almost as if

00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:07.960
 they were back

00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:09.380
 in the Garden of Eden

00:22:09.380 --> 00:22:11.180
 all over again.

00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:14.119
 Living under God's rule.

00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:16.779
 In relationship with God.

00:22:17.619 --> 00:22:18.819
 Enjoying rest

00:22:18.819 --> 00:22:19.920
 and prosperity.

00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:24.300
 But what God was going

00:22:24.300 --> 00:22:25.380
 to do through David

00:22:25.380 --> 00:22:28.220
 was only a taste

00:22:28.220 --> 00:22:31.080
 of something greater to come.

00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:34.300
 For God would make a promise

00:22:34.300 --> 00:22:35.840
 to David.

00:22:36.980 --> 00:22:40.380
 Go on to 2 Samuel chapter 7.

00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:45.220
 2 Samuel chapter 7.

00:22:45.220 --> 00:22:53.640
 And here God makes

00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:55.279
 this amazing promise

00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:58.420
 to King David.

00:22:58.579 --> 00:22:59.299
 We'll pick it up

00:22:59.299 --> 00:23:01.360
 in verse 11.

00:23:02.360 --> 00:23:03.980
 Halfway through verse 11.

00:23:07.140 --> 00:23:09.079
 The Lord declares to you

00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:11.120
 that the Lord himself

00:23:11.120 --> 00:23:13.100
 will establish a house for you.

00:23:13.099 --> 00:23:15.240
 Not a physical building

00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:16.139
 made of bricks

00:23:16.139 --> 00:23:17.419
 and mortar and wood

00:23:17.419 --> 00:23:19.179
 but a dynasty.

00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:20.339
 A family.

00:23:21.259 --> 00:23:21.939
 The Lord himself

00:23:21.939 --> 00:23:23.459
 will establish a house for you.

00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:25.259
 When your days are over

00:23:25.259 --> 00:23:27.059
 and you rest with your fathers

00:23:27.059 --> 00:23:29.000
 I will raise up

00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:29.740
 your offspring

00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:31.139
 to succeed you.

00:23:31.679 --> 00:23:32.279
 He will come

00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:33.459
 from your own body

00:23:33.459 --> 00:23:35.019
 and I will establish

00:23:35.019 --> 00:23:35.839
 his kingdom.

00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:37.339
 He is the one

00:23:37.339 --> 00:23:38.259
 who will build a house

00:23:38.259 --> 00:23:38.980
 for my name

00:23:38.980 --> 00:23:40.559
 and I will establish

00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:41.879
 the throne of his kingdom

00:23:41.879 --> 00:23:42.359
 forever.

00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:44.139
 I will be his father

00:23:44.139 --> 00:23:46.579
 and he shall be my son.

00:23:47.019 --> 00:23:48.139
 When he does wrong

00:23:48.139 --> 00:23:50.099
 I will punish him

00:23:50.099 --> 00:23:51.679
 with the rod of men

00:23:51.679 --> 00:23:52.559
 with floggings

00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:53.719
 inflicted by men.

00:23:54.659 --> 00:23:55.819
 But my love

00:23:55.819 --> 00:23:56.879
 will never be taken

00:23:56.879 --> 00:23:57.839
 away from him

00:23:57.839 --> 00:23:59.379
 as I took it away

00:23:59.379 --> 00:24:00.099
 from Saul

00:24:00.099 --> 00:24:01.399
 whom I removed

00:24:01.399 --> 00:24:02.519
 from before you.

00:24:03.419 --> 00:24:04.259
 Your house

00:24:04.259 --> 00:24:05.740
 and your kingdom

00:24:05.740 --> 00:24:06.619
 shall endure

00:24:06.619 --> 00:24:07.939
 forever before me.

00:24:08.299 --> 00:24:09.139
 Your throne

00:24:09.139 --> 00:24:10.740
 shall be established

00:24:10.740 --> 00:24:11.779
 forever.

00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:13.379
 You see

00:24:13.379 --> 00:24:14.379
 it's the promise

00:24:14.379 --> 00:24:16.599
 of another king

00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:17.219
 to come.

00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:18.919
 But this king

00:24:18.919 --> 00:24:20.359
 is going to be

00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:20.959
 different

00:24:20.959 --> 00:24:22.459
 to every other

00:24:22.459 --> 00:24:23.240
 kind of king

00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:23.979
 that there's been.

00:24:24.959 --> 00:24:25.599
 First

00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:27.259
 he's going to be

00:24:27.259 --> 00:24:27.899
 a king

00:24:27.899 --> 00:24:30.039
 like God.

00:24:31.939 --> 00:24:32.959
 He's going to be

00:24:32.959 --> 00:24:33.500
 a king

00:24:33.500 --> 00:24:34.259
 like God.

00:24:34.339 --> 00:24:34.859
 Look back at

00:24:34.859 --> 00:24:35.679
 verse 14.

00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:38.980
 He says,

00:24:39.060 --> 00:24:40.460
 I will be his father

00:24:40.460 --> 00:24:42.980
 and he shall be

00:24:42.980 --> 00:24:43.740
 my son.

00:24:44.820 --> 00:24:45.900
 Now years ago

00:24:45.900 --> 00:24:47.560
 going back a long

00:24:47.560 --> 00:24:48.180
 long way

00:24:48.180 --> 00:24:50.240
 sons usually did

00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:51.480
 what their fathers did.

00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:53.680
 So if your father

00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:54.380
 happened to be

00:24:54.380 --> 00:24:55.240
 a blacksmith

00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:56.860
 well there was a good

00:24:56.860 --> 00:24:58.080
 chance that your son

00:24:58.080 --> 00:24:59.220
 would become a blacksmith

00:24:59.220 --> 00:25:00.279
 or if he was a baker

00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:01.500
 he would become

00:25:01.500 --> 00:25:02.160
 a baker.

00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:03.960
 sons did

00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:05.120
 what their fathers

00:25:05.120 --> 00:25:05.540
 did.

00:25:05.779 --> 00:25:06.860
 And that's the idea

00:25:06.860 --> 00:25:07.400
 that we have

00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:08.400
 in verse 14.

00:25:08.900 --> 00:25:09.680
 The son

00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:11.640
 is going to do

00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:13.040
 what the father

00:25:13.040 --> 00:25:13.519
 does.

00:25:14.080 --> 00:25:14.900
 In other words

00:25:14.900 --> 00:25:15.700
 God is saying

00:25:15.700 --> 00:25:17.100
 a king is going

00:25:17.100 --> 00:25:17.779
 to come

00:25:17.779 --> 00:25:18.740
 who will be

00:25:18.740 --> 00:25:20.019
 just like

00:25:20.019 --> 00:25:20.740
 me.

00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:22.580
 Just as God

00:25:22.580 --> 00:25:23.460
 rules over his

00:25:23.460 --> 00:25:23.880
 people

00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:25.940
 so this

00:25:25.940 --> 00:25:26.600
 son who

00:25:26.600 --> 00:25:27.120
 comes

00:25:27.120 --> 00:25:28.300
 will rule

00:25:28.300 --> 00:25:29.320
 just like

00:25:29.320 --> 00:25:29.700
 God.

00:25:29.860 --> 00:25:30.560
 He will act

00:25:30.560 --> 00:25:31.360
 justly and

00:25:31.360 --> 00:25:31.720
 fairly.

00:25:32.100 --> 00:25:32.700
 He will be a

00:25:32.700 --> 00:25:33.160
 king with

00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:34.300
 absolute power

00:25:34.300 --> 00:25:35.520
 and supreme

00:25:35.520 --> 00:25:36.260
 authority.

00:25:37.060 --> 00:25:38.020
 So this promise

00:25:38.020 --> 00:25:38.820
 is going to be

00:25:38.820 --> 00:25:39.580
 a king like

00:25:39.580 --> 00:25:39.980
 God.

00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:40.960
 Second

00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:43.580
 this is a

00:25:43.580 --> 00:25:43.940
 king

00:25:43.940 --> 00:25:45.300
 who will

00:25:45.300 --> 00:25:45.820
 endure

00:25:45.820 --> 00:25:46.460
 forever.

00:25:46.620 --> 00:25:46.880
 Look at

00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:47.680
 verse 16.

00:25:49.220 --> 00:25:50.020
 He says

00:25:50.020 --> 00:25:50.520
 to David

00:25:50.520 --> 00:25:51.380
 your house

00:25:51.380 --> 00:25:53.220
 your kingdom

00:25:53.220 --> 00:25:54.260
 shall endure

00:25:54.260 --> 00:25:55.520
 forever before

00:25:55.520 --> 00:25:55.940
 me.

00:25:56.520 --> 00:25:57.560
 Your throne

00:25:57.560 --> 00:25:58.460
 shall be

00:25:58.460 --> 00:25:59.220
 established

00:25:59.220 --> 00:25:59.820
 forever.

00:26:01.420 --> 00:26:02.040
 Now if we

00:26:02.040 --> 00:26:02.580
 know anything

00:26:02.580 --> 00:26:03.180
 about this

00:26:03.180 --> 00:26:04.120
 we read this

00:26:04.120 --> 00:26:04.580
 and we go

00:26:04.580 --> 00:26:06.060
 David that his

00:26:06.060 --> 00:26:06.960
 kingdom is going

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:07.580
 to reign

00:26:07.580 --> 00:26:08.380
 forever and

00:26:08.380 --> 00:26:08.600
 ever.

00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:09.720
 Well we only

00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:10.340
 need to read

00:26:10.340 --> 00:26:10.820
 on a little

00:26:10.820 --> 00:26:11.400
 bit longer

00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:11.900
 and we

00:26:11.900 --> 00:26:12.540
 realize that

00:26:12.540 --> 00:26:13.580
 David dies.

00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:16.160
 So how can

00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:16.820
 this go on

00:26:16.820 --> 00:26:17.420
 forever and

00:26:17.420 --> 00:26:17.660
 ever?

00:26:18.780 --> 00:26:19.500
 Well the only

00:26:19.500 --> 00:26:20.220
 way it can go

00:26:20.220 --> 00:26:21.000
 on forever and

00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:21.240
 ever

00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:22.200
 is for a

00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:22.599
 king who

00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:23.079
 would come

00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:23.700
 who would

00:26:23.700 --> 00:26:24.880
 live forever

00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:25.380
 and ever.

00:26:25.859 --> 00:26:26.359
 A king

00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:27.319
 without end.

00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:28.019
 A king

00:26:28.019 --> 00:26:28.460
 who is

00:26:28.460 --> 00:26:28.960
 eternal

00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:29.680
 and whose

00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:30.319
 rule never

00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:30.880
 comes to

00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:31.359
 an end.

00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:32.359
 And for

00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:33.099
 us reading

00:26:33.099 --> 00:26:33.819
 it it seems

00:26:33.819 --> 00:26:34.839
 impossible that

00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:35.200
 that could

00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:35.559
 happen.

00:26:35.859 --> 00:26:36.440
 But on the

00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:37.120
 basis of

00:26:37.120 --> 00:26:37.900
 everything that

00:26:37.900 --> 00:26:38.359
 God has

00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:39.019
 promised and

00:26:39.019 --> 00:26:39.819
 fulfilled so

00:26:39.819 --> 00:26:40.400
 far in the

00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:41.660
 story we

00:26:41.660 --> 00:26:42.380
 would be silly

00:26:42.380 --> 00:26:43.140
 to discount

00:26:43.140 --> 00:26:43.519
 it.

00:26:44.900 --> 00:26:45.660
 So there's

00:26:45.660 --> 00:26:46.180
 going to come

00:26:46.180 --> 00:26:46.839
 a king like

00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:47.279
 God.

00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:48.420
 A king who

00:26:48.420 --> 00:26:48.880
 will rule

00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:49.420
 forever.

00:26:49.420 --> 00:26:50.900
 And a

00:26:50.900 --> 00:26:51.580
 king who's

00:26:51.580 --> 00:26:51.980
 going to

00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:52.779
 bring blessing.

00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:54.560
 If you

00:26:54.560 --> 00:26:55.220
 flick on to

00:26:55.220 --> 00:26:56.019
 verse 28

00:26:56.019 --> 00:26:57.240
 look at how

00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:58.440
 David responds

00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:00.080
 to what God

00:27:00.080 --> 00:27:00.600
 promises.

00:27:01.500 --> 00:27:02.660
 In verse 28

00:27:02.660 --> 00:27:05.200
 David says

00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:05.480
 this,

00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:06.220
 O sovereign

00:27:06.220 --> 00:27:06.860
 Lord you

00:27:06.860 --> 00:27:07.740
 are God.

00:27:08.380 --> 00:27:09.180
 Your words

00:27:09.180 --> 00:27:10.019
 are trustworthy

00:27:10.019 --> 00:27:11.360
 and you

00:27:11.360 --> 00:27:12.079
 have promised

00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:12.920
 these things

00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:13.480
 these good

00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:14.039
 things to

00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:14.599
 your servant.

00:27:15.120 --> 00:27:15.519
 Now be

00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:16.240
 pleased to

00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:17.059
 bless the

00:27:17.059 --> 00:27:17.539
 house of

00:27:17.539 --> 00:27:18.140
 your servant

00:27:18.140 --> 00:27:18.799
 that it

00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:19.500
 may continue

00:27:19.500 --> 00:27:20.339
 forever in

00:27:20.339 --> 00:27:20.920
 your sight.

00:27:21.339 --> 00:27:21.940
 For you

00:27:21.940 --> 00:27:22.599
 O sovereign

00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:23.460
 Lord have

00:27:23.460 --> 00:27:24.779
 spoken and

00:27:24.779 --> 00:27:25.400
 with your

00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:26.380
 blessing the

00:27:26.380 --> 00:27:26.960
 house of

00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:27.539
 your servant

00:27:27.539 --> 00:27:28.220
 will be

00:27:28.220 --> 00:27:29.360
 blessed

00:27:29.360 --> 00:27:30.599
 forever.

00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:30.719
 forever.

00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:32.959
 So this

00:27:32.959 --> 00:27:34.219
 king like

00:27:34.219 --> 00:27:35.119
 God who's

00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:35.439
 going to

00:27:35.439 --> 00:27:36.159
 rule forever

00:27:36.159 --> 00:27:37.279
 is going to

00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:39.039
 bring eternal

00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:39.579
 blessing.

00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:40.759
 So instead of

00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:41.379
 the curse of

00:27:41.379 --> 00:27:42.259
 death there's

00:27:42.259 --> 00:27:42.740
 going to be

00:27:42.740 --> 00:27:43.279
 the blessing

00:27:43.279 --> 00:27:43.819
 of life.

00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:44.659
 Instead of

00:27:44.659 --> 00:27:45.519
 disorder and

00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:46.559
 chaos there's

00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:47.039
 going to be

00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:47.799
 beauty and

00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:48.199
 harmony.

00:27:48.659 --> 00:27:49.439
 Everything is

00:27:49.439 --> 00:27:49.959
 going to be

00:27:49.959 --> 00:27:50.799
 put right again

00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:51.439
 when this

00:27:51.439 --> 00:27:52.339
 king comes.

00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:55.919
 But there's

00:27:55.919 --> 00:27:56.519
 something else

00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:57.079
 about this

00:27:57.079 --> 00:27:58.839
 king that

00:27:58.839 --> 00:27:59.719
 strikes us as

00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:00.519
 very very

00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:01.160
 disturbing.

00:28:02.360 --> 00:28:03.079
 You might

00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:03.440
 have picked

00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:04.339
 it up if

00:28:04.339 --> 00:28:04.880
 you go back

00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:05.279
 to verse

00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:05.860
 14.

00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:08.019
 Read carefully

00:28:08.019 --> 00:28:08.559
 what verse

00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:09.519
 14 says.

00:28:11.059 --> 00:28:12.380
 I will be

00:28:12.380 --> 00:28:13.039
 his father

00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:14.579
 and he

00:28:14.579 --> 00:28:14.960
 shall be

00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:15.620
 my son.

00:28:16.620 --> 00:28:17.319
 When he

00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:18.100
 does wrong

00:28:18.100 --> 00:28:19.519
 I will

00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:20.420
 punish him

00:28:20.420 --> 00:28:21.640
 with the

00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:22.140
 rod of

00:28:22.140 --> 00:28:22.539
 men

00:28:22.539 --> 00:28:24.480
 with floggings

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:25.299
 inflicted

00:28:25.299 --> 00:28:25.940
 by men.

00:28:25.940 --> 00:28:30.000
 the father

00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:31.960
 will punish

00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:32.980
 his son

00:28:32.980 --> 00:28:34.580
 who is

00:28:34.580 --> 00:28:35.019
 a king.

00:28:36.059 --> 00:28:36.700
 Now it

00:28:36.700 --> 00:28:37.539
 seems completely

00:28:37.539 --> 00:28:38.240
 out of place

00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:38.779
 doesn't it?

00:28:39.080 --> 00:28:39.900
 How could a

00:28:39.900 --> 00:28:40.500
 king like

00:28:40.500 --> 00:28:41.380
 God who

00:28:41.380 --> 00:28:42.220
 rules forever

00:28:42.220 --> 00:28:43.180
 and brings

00:28:43.180 --> 00:28:44.160
 eternal blessing

00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:44.960
 be punished?

00:28:46.120 --> 00:28:47.000
 Why would

00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:47.580
 the father

00:28:47.580 --> 00:28:48.340
 do that?

00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:50.000
 And what

00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:50.720
 would the son

00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:51.440
 do that was

00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:52.100
 so wrong

00:28:52.100 --> 00:28:52.480
 that he

00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:52.940
 deserves

00:28:52.940 --> 00:28:53.480
 punishment?

00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:57.880
 Well as

00:28:57.880 --> 00:28:58.339
 we follow

00:28:58.339 --> 00:28:58.799
 through the

00:28:58.799 --> 00:28:59.519
 story in

00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:00.220
 search of

00:29:00.220 --> 00:29:01.019
 this promise

00:29:01.019 --> 00:29:02.960
 God does

00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:03.500
 raise up

00:29:03.500 --> 00:29:04.099
 new kings

00:29:04.099 --> 00:29:04.539
 to take

00:29:04.539 --> 00:29:05.000
 the place

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:05.480
 of David

00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:07.240
 and all

00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:07.860
 seems to

00:29:07.860 --> 00:29:08.319
 be going

00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:08.759
 well.

00:29:09.140 --> 00:29:09.640
 The kingdom

00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:10.400
 gets bigger

00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:11.240
 and stronger.

00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:12.200
 The blessings

00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:13.000
 keep coming.

00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:14.099
 Everything is

00:29:14.099 --> 00:29:14.660
 right and

00:29:14.660 --> 00:29:15.480
 good but

00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:16.360
 within two

00:29:16.360 --> 00:29:17.180
 generations

00:29:17.180 --> 00:29:19.420
 everything is

00:29:19.420 --> 00:29:19.980
 once again

00:29:19.980 --> 00:29:20.839
 falling apart.

00:29:21.500 --> 00:29:22.180
 The great

00:29:22.180 --> 00:29:22.920
 big kingdom

00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:24.259
 gets divided

00:29:24.259 --> 00:29:24.880
 in two

00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:25.300
 as the

00:29:25.300 --> 00:29:26.080
 families begin

00:29:26.080 --> 00:29:26.600
 to fight

00:29:26.600 --> 00:29:27.240
 against each

00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:27.440
 other.

00:29:27.779 --> 00:29:28.080
 We have

00:29:28.080 --> 00:29:28.840
 Israel to

00:29:28.840 --> 00:29:29.340
 the north

00:29:29.340 --> 00:29:30.300
 and Judah

00:29:30.300 --> 00:29:31.120
 to the south

00:29:31.120 --> 00:29:32.720
 and each

00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:33.220
 kingdom

00:29:33.220 --> 00:29:34.240
 have their

00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:35.100
 own kings

00:29:35.100 --> 00:29:36.500
 but the

00:29:36.500 --> 00:29:37.460
 vast majority

00:29:37.460 --> 00:29:37.960
 of these

00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:38.680
 kings turn

00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:39.460
 against God

00:29:39.460 --> 00:29:40.019
 and they

00:29:40.019 --> 00:29:40.700
 reject his

00:29:40.700 --> 00:29:41.300
 loving rule

00:29:41.300 --> 00:29:41.779
 and instead

00:29:41.779 --> 00:29:42.279
 of leading

00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:43.279
 the people

00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:44.140
 back to God

00:29:44.140 --> 00:29:44.920
 they lead

00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:45.300
 them into

00:29:45.300 --> 00:29:46.200
 further rebellion

00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:48.420
 and God

00:29:48.420 --> 00:29:49.039
 is watching

00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:49.700
 out throughout

00:29:49.700 --> 00:29:50.580
 these years

00:29:50.580 --> 00:29:51.200
 and he

00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:52.000
 continues to

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:52.559
 intervene.

00:29:52.940 --> 00:29:53.480
 He raises

00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:54.019
 up good

00:29:54.019 --> 00:29:54.619
 kings to

00:29:54.619 --> 00:29:55.539
 restore order

00:29:55.539 --> 00:29:56.220
 but he

00:29:56.220 --> 00:29:57.220
 keeps repeating

00:29:57.220 --> 00:29:58.720
 this warning

00:29:58.720 --> 00:29:59.180
 to them.

00:29:59.460 --> 00:30:00.000
 He says

00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:00.900
 if you

00:30:00.900 --> 00:30:01.579
 persist

00:30:01.579 --> 00:30:03.559
 I will

00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:04.160
 bring my

00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:04.559
 judgment.

00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:05.759
 If you

00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:06.500
 keep turning

00:30:06.500 --> 00:30:07.339
 against me

00:30:07.339 --> 00:30:08.579
 my judgment

00:30:08.579 --> 00:30:09.440
 will come.

00:30:11.220 --> 00:30:11.759
 And over

00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:12.380
 a period

00:30:12.380 --> 00:30:13.319
 of 400

00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:14.279
 years

00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:16.099
 of God

00:30:16.099 --> 00:30:16.839
 patiently

00:30:16.839 --> 00:30:17.720
 waiting for

00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:18.220
 the people

00:30:18.220 --> 00:30:18.799
 to turn

00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:19.259
 from their

00:30:19.259 --> 00:30:19.720
 ways

00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:21.220
 God

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:21.720
 eventually

00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:22.240
 brings

00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:22.559
 his

00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:23.039
 judgment.

00:30:24.059 --> 00:30:24.559
 Israel

00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:24.980
 as the

00:30:24.980 --> 00:30:25.299
 northern

00:30:25.299 --> 00:30:25.740
 kingdom

00:30:25.740 --> 00:30:25.980
 is

00:30:25.980 --> 00:30:26.559
 completely

00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:27.279
 destroyed

00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:27.659
 by

00:30:27.659 --> 00:30:28.339
 Assyria

00:30:28.339 --> 00:30:30.759
 and 150

00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:31.899
 years later

00:30:31.899 --> 00:30:32.379
 Judah

00:30:32.379 --> 00:30:33.899
 is taken

00:30:33.899 --> 00:30:34.440
 over by

00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:35.359
 the Babylonian

00:30:35.359 --> 00:30:35.740
 kingdom

00:30:35.740 --> 00:30:36.440
 and they

00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:36.899
 end up

00:30:36.899 --> 00:30:37.639
 in exile.

00:30:38.059 --> 00:30:38.579
 It's like

00:30:38.579 --> 00:30:39.559
 God's people

00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:40.619
 are slaves

00:30:40.619 --> 00:30:41.379
 back in

00:30:41.379 --> 00:30:41.799
 Egypt

00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:43.339
 all over

00:30:43.339 --> 00:30:44.019
 again.

00:30:44.639 --> 00:30:45.339
 They've gone

00:30:45.339 --> 00:30:46.460
 full cycle

00:30:46.460 --> 00:30:47.360
 having been

00:30:47.360 --> 00:30:47.960
 kicked out

00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:48.220
 of the

00:30:48.220 --> 00:30:48.519
 Garden

00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:48.980
 of Eden

00:30:48.980 --> 00:30:49.799
 where they

00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:50.299
 ended up

00:30:50.299 --> 00:30:50.940
 in Egypt

00:30:50.940 --> 00:30:51.799
 and now

00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:52.279
 they're back

00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:52.640
 in as

00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:53.500
 slaves again

00:30:53.500 --> 00:30:54.620
 under a

00:30:54.620 --> 00:30:55.039
 foreign

00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:56.340
 strange

00:30:56.340 --> 00:30:57.079
 ruler.

00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:01.620
 God

00:31:01.620 --> 00:31:02.380
 may reject

00:31:02.380 --> 00:31:03.240
 the kings

00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:04.940
 and God

00:31:04.940 --> 00:31:05.440
 may bring

00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:06.100
 his judgment

00:31:06.100 --> 00:31:06.680
 on his

00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:07.100
 people

00:31:07.100 --> 00:31:08.980
 but God

00:31:08.980 --> 00:31:09.480
 does not

00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:10.079
 forget the

00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:10.500
 promises

00:31:10.500 --> 00:31:10.980
 he has

00:31:10.980 --> 00:31:11.380
 made.

00:31:12.940 --> 00:31:13.220
 You see

00:31:13.220 --> 00:31:13.740
 as people

00:31:13.740 --> 00:31:14.400
 persist

00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:16.620
 in rejecting

00:31:16.620 --> 00:31:17.280
 his loving

00:31:17.280 --> 00:31:17.720
 rule

00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:19.680
 so God

00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:20.759
 persists

00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:22.600
 in rescuing

00:31:22.600 --> 00:31:23.240
 rebellious

00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:23.740
 people

00:31:23.740 --> 00:31:24.880
 and bringing

00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:25.600
 about the

00:31:25.600 --> 00:31:26.060
 king

00:31:26.060 --> 00:31:26.920
 and the

00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:27.320
 kingdom

00:31:27.320 --> 00:31:28.400
 that he

00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:29.160
 has promised.

00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:32.040
 So just

00:31:32.040 --> 00:31:32.800
 as God

00:31:32.800 --> 00:31:33.420
 had promised

00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:33.820
 David

00:31:33.820 --> 00:31:35.440
 that he

00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:36.000
 would raise

00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:36.580
 up a king

00:31:36.580 --> 00:31:36.980
 who would

00:31:36.980 --> 00:31:37.900
 reign forever

00:31:37.900 --> 00:31:40.040
 that king

00:31:40.040 --> 00:31:40.780
 arrives.

00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:41.980
 Have a look

00:31:41.980 --> 00:31:42.560
 at Luke's

00:31:42.560 --> 00:31:42.920
 gospel

00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:43.800
 chapter 1

00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:44.779
 in the

00:31:44.779 --> 00:31:45.440
 New Testament.

00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:45.899
 Luke

00:31:45.899 --> 00:31:46.720
 chapter 1

00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:47.579
 verse 31.

00:31:53.399 --> 00:31:54.220
 So from

00:31:54.220 --> 00:31:54.859
 the time

00:31:54.859 --> 00:31:55.440
 of God's

00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:56.119
 people going

00:31:56.119 --> 00:31:57.119
 into exile

00:31:57.119 --> 00:31:59.000
 into

00:31:59.000 --> 00:31:59.740
 Babylon

00:31:59.740 --> 00:32:01.839
 there was

00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:02.500
 never a

00:32:02.500 --> 00:32:03.099
 king who

00:32:03.099 --> 00:32:03.819
 came again.

00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:04.799
 They are

00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:05.639
 kingless

00:32:05.639 --> 00:32:07.139
 without a

00:32:07.139 --> 00:32:07.440
 leader

00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:08.379
 without a

00:32:08.379 --> 00:32:08.899
 ruler to

00:32:08.899 --> 00:32:09.460
 take care

00:32:09.460 --> 00:32:09.740
 of the

00:32:09.740 --> 00:32:10.099
 nation

00:32:10.099 --> 00:32:10.859
 and so

00:32:10.859 --> 00:32:11.379
 the people

00:32:11.379 --> 00:32:11.740
 have been

00:32:11.740 --> 00:32:12.379
 waiting for

00:32:12.380 --> 00:32:12.900
 God's

00:32:12.900 --> 00:32:13.260
 promise

00:32:13.260 --> 00:32:13.720
 to be

00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:14.200
 fulfilled

00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:15.060
 and in

00:32:15.060 --> 00:32:15.240
 Luke

00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:15.920
 chapter 1

00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:16.840
 verse 31

00:32:16.840 --> 00:32:18.380
 or verse

00:32:18.380 --> 00:32:19.080
 30 we

00:32:19.080 --> 00:32:19.700
 read these

00:32:19.700 --> 00:32:20.120
 words.

00:32:22.800 --> 00:32:23.780
 The angel

00:32:23.780 --> 00:32:24.580
 said to her

00:32:24.580 --> 00:32:26.440
 do not

00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:27.120
 be afraid

00:32:27.120 --> 00:32:27.580
 Mary

00:32:27.580 --> 00:32:29.160
 you have

00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:29.560
 found

00:32:29.560 --> 00:32:30.060
 favour

00:32:30.060 --> 00:32:30.580
 that is

00:32:30.580 --> 00:32:31.740
 grace

00:32:31.740 --> 00:32:32.920
 has come

00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:33.640
 upon you

00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:35.760
 and you

00:32:35.760 --> 00:32:36.120
 will be

00:32:36.120 --> 00:32:36.820
 with child

00:32:36.820 --> 00:32:37.260
 and give

00:32:37.260 --> 00:32:38.020
 birth to a

00:32:38.020 --> 00:32:38.820
 son and

00:32:38.820 --> 00:32:39.280
 you are to

00:32:39.280 --> 00:32:39.660
 give him

00:32:39.660 --> 00:32:40.120
 the name

00:32:40.120 --> 00:32:40.740
 Jesus.

00:32:42.740 --> 00:32:43.519
 But look

00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:44.320
 how different

00:32:44.320 --> 00:32:45.019
 this child

00:32:45.019 --> 00:32:45.519
 will be.

00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:46.300
 He will

00:32:46.300 --> 00:32:47.200
 be great

00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:47.840
 and will

00:32:47.840 --> 00:32:48.460
 be called

00:32:48.460 --> 00:32:49.320
 the son

00:32:49.320 --> 00:32:49.840
 of the

00:32:49.840 --> 00:32:50.620
 most high.

00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:51.420
 This is

00:32:51.420 --> 00:32:52.440
 God's

00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:52.720
 son.

00:32:54.320 --> 00:32:54.759
 And the

00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:55.460
 Lord God

00:32:55.460 --> 00:32:55.980
 will give

00:32:55.980 --> 00:32:56.400
 him the

00:32:56.400 --> 00:32:57.060
 throne of

00:32:57.060 --> 00:32:57.779
 his father

00:32:57.779 --> 00:32:58.840
 David and

00:32:58.840 --> 00:32:59.200
 he will

00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:00.040
 reign over

00:33:00.040 --> 00:33:00.560
 the house

00:33:00.560 --> 00:33:01.140
 of Jacob

00:33:01.140 --> 00:33:01.720
 forever.

00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:02.340
 His

00:33:02.340 --> 00:33:02.980
 kingdom

00:33:02.980 --> 00:33:04.360
 will never

00:33:04.360 --> 00:33:05.600
 end.

00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:07.959
 God

00:33:07.959 --> 00:33:08.419
 so a

00:33:08.419 --> 00:33:08.939
 king like

00:33:08.939 --> 00:33:09.319
 God

00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:09.959
 comes

00:33:09.959 --> 00:33:11.059
 an

00:33:11.059 --> 00:33:11.619
 eternal

00:33:11.619 --> 00:33:12.059
 king

00:33:12.059 --> 00:33:13.059
 a

00:33:13.059 --> 00:33:13.339
 king

00:33:13.339 --> 00:33:13.539
 who

00:33:13.539 --> 00:33:13.959
 brings

00:33:13.959 --> 00:33:14.740
 blessing

00:33:14.740 --> 00:33:15.459
 as he

00:33:15.459 --> 00:33:15.799
 offers

00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:16.419
 forgiveness

00:33:16.419 --> 00:33:17.099
 to people

00:33:17.099 --> 00:33:17.339
 and

00:33:17.339 --> 00:33:17.859
 restoration

00:33:17.859 --> 00:33:18.439
 of their

00:33:18.439 --> 00:33:18.879
 lives

00:33:18.879 --> 00:33:19.480
 as they

00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:19.939
 repent

00:33:19.939 --> 00:33:20.319
 of their

00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:20.839
 sins

00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:21.679
 a

00:33:21.679 --> 00:33:21.919
 king

00:33:21.919 --> 00:33:22.119
 who

00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:22.500
 brings

00:33:22.500 --> 00:33:23.240
 peace

00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:24.659
 and

00:33:24.659 --> 00:33:25.039
 brings

00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:25.559
 order

00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:26.039
 out of

00:33:26.039 --> 00:33:26.199
 the

00:33:26.199 --> 00:33:26.799
 disorder

00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:27.179
 as he

00:33:27.179 --> 00:33:27.699
 calms

00:33:27.699 --> 00:33:28.159
 the rough

00:33:28.159 --> 00:33:28.719
 seas

00:33:28.719 --> 00:33:29.359
 as he

00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:29.939
 provides

00:33:29.939 --> 00:33:30.480
 for those

00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:30.799
 who have

00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:31.179
 nothing

00:33:31.179 --> 00:33:31.839
 as he

00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:32.199
 heals

00:33:32.199 --> 00:33:32.639
 the sick

00:33:32.639 --> 00:33:32.939
 and he

00:33:32.939 --> 00:33:33.339
 raises

00:33:33.339 --> 00:33:33.919
 the dead

00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:34.740
 he brings

00:33:34.740 --> 00:33:35.039
 about

00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:35.320
 the

00:33:35.320 --> 00:33:35.779
 kingdom

00:33:35.779 --> 00:33:36.400
 that

00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:36.800
 people

00:33:36.800 --> 00:33:36.980
 have

00:33:36.980 --> 00:33:37.140
 been

00:33:37.140 --> 00:33:37.620
 searching

00:33:37.620 --> 00:33:37.960
 for

 man

 had promised

00:36:26.859 --> 00:36:27.539
 to David

00:36:27.539 --> 00:36:30.939
 that the

00:36:39.500 --> 00:36:40.659
 but not

00:36:40.659 --> 00:36:41.459

00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:42.739
 anything

00:36:42.739 --> 00:36:43.179
 wrong

00:36:43.179 --> 00:36:43.679

00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:43.960
 was

00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:44.619
 innocent

00:36:44.619 --> 00:36:46.839

 in our

00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:47.859
 place

00:36:47.859 --> 00:36:48.219

 we

00:36:48.539 --> 00:36:48.779
 had

00:36:48.779 --> 00:36:49.019
 done
