00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:08.199
 Two years ago, in the Social, Psychological, and Personality Science Journal, researchers

00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:13.200
 Ben Tappan and Ryan McKay from University of London published an article entitled, The

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:15.400
 Illusion of Moral Superiority.

00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:22.019
 According to the findings of their study, while people have a general tendency to overestimate

00:00:22.019 --> 00:00:29.980
 their positive qualities with regard to other people, and for example, their different abilities,

00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:35.420
 skills, their sociability, they tend to estimate that they're better than the average in general.

00:00:35.420 --> 00:00:41.560
 When it comes to the estimation of their morality, people's illusions were significantly more

00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:43.280
 pronounced and prevalent.

00:00:44.859 --> 00:00:49.679
 In other words, most people in the world consider themselves to be morally superior to the average

00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:50.060
 person.

00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:57.480
 The researchers concluded that this is a dangerous illusion because self-righteous people who

00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:02.379
 are convinced of their moral superiority are likely to escalate a conflict rather than

00:01:02.379 --> 00:01:03.500
 cooperate or compromise.

00:01:04.399 --> 00:01:09.079
 This self-righteousness, in fact, is at the root of much conflict in this world, including

00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:13.620
 relational strife, political discord, and even international warfare.

00:01:13.620 --> 00:01:20.200
 And in our court system, right, when a judge is personally interested in or implicated by a

00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:25.420
 case, he is required to recuse himself from the case due to the concern that he cannot render

00:01:25.420 --> 00:01:26.580
 judgment impartially.

00:01:27.260 --> 00:01:31.400
 Yet when it comes to judging our own morality, most of us are delusional.

00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:36.219
 And we think that we can be an accurate and objective judge.

00:01:36.219 --> 00:01:44.640
 And this is why it is important to set aside our own perception of how moral we are and let

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:48.920
 God, who knows all and sees all, to be our judge.

00:01:49.739 --> 00:01:55.539
 And here in Jeremiah chapter 4 to 6, we see God's judgment of Judah and Israel.

00:01:55.980 --> 00:01:58.840
 And his verdict is devastating.

00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:04.159
 And God's verdict is a fitting description, not just of Judah and Israel in this time period,

00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:08.639
 but of all people and of all sinners, every single human being that has ever lived except

00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:09.319
 for one.

00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.579
 And no one likes to hear that he or she is a sinner.

00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:19.159
 But until you have an accurate assessment of the problem, you cannot search for an appropriate

00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:20.240
 solution to it.

00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:23.639
 And that's why this passage is included here in God's word.

00:02:24.019 --> 00:02:30.800
 Because it's only after accepting God's devastating verdict that we can appreciate his extravagant

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:31.159
 mercy.

00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:37.879
 So the main point of my sermon this morning is that we must turn to Christ for salvation,

00:02:38.340 --> 00:02:40.740
 for we are all under God's judgment for our sins.

00:02:41.180 --> 00:02:42.579
 And I will talk about that in three parts.

00:02:42.699 --> 00:02:44.060
 First, the warning of judgment.

00:02:44.460 --> 00:02:45.900
 Second, the warrant for judgment.

00:02:46.340 --> 00:02:49.139
 And third, the withholding of judgment.

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:55.979
 So at the beginning of chapter 4, God exhorted his people to repent, lest his wrath go forth like

00:02:55.979 --> 00:02:56.319
 fire.

00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:58.280
 But they did not respond by repenting.

00:02:58.359 --> 00:03:03.000
 And so here in the rest of this chapter 4, we find God's warning of impending judgment.

00:03:03.859 --> 00:03:07.819
 So look at verses 5 to 8, where God announces this in poetic form.

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:08.840
 Read with me.

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:09.659
 Verses 5 to 8.

00:03:09.659 --> 00:03:11.620
 Blow the trumpet through the land.

00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:15.919
 Cry aloud and say, assemble and let us go into the fortified cities.

00:03:16.099 --> 00:03:17.780
 Raise a standard towards Zion.

00:03:18.180 --> 00:03:19.019
 Flee for safety.

00:03:19.219 --> 00:03:19.800
 Stay not.

00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:22.960
 For I bring disaster from the north and great destruction.

00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:25.479
 A lion has gone up from his thicket.

00:03:25.699 --> 00:03:27.780
 A destroyer of nations has set out.

00:03:28.079 --> 00:03:31.219
 He has gone out from his place to make your land a waste.

00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:34.039
 Your cities will be ruins without inhabitant.

00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.979
 For this, put on sackcloth, lament and wail.

00:03:37.099 --> 00:03:41.859
 For the fierce anger of the Lord has not turned back from us.

00:03:42.060 --> 00:03:45.099
 So the blowing a trumpet is announcing of an emergency, right?

00:03:45.239 --> 00:03:51.180
 And so it's prompting all the citizens to take, to hide in the fortified walls, behind

00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:51.939
 the fortified walls.

00:03:52.340 --> 00:03:55.180
 And the word translated standard can also mean a signal.

00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:59.000
 So it could either be a very large flag that they raise that people can see from other

00:03:59.000 --> 00:03:59.979
 cities to take warning.

00:04:00.340 --> 00:04:04.379
 Or it could be a signal like the fire signals that ancient kingdoms used to use.

00:04:04.740 --> 00:04:08.759
 I don't know if you've seen Lord of the Rings where, you know, it's maybe like the beacon

00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:10.180
 of Gondor, right?

00:04:10.259 --> 00:04:14.300
 And it's like the Lord of the Rings where they set fire and everybody sees and takes warning.

00:04:15.979 --> 00:04:18.439
 That's the kind of signal that's probably in view here.

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:19.860
 And the Babylonians are coming.

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:21.040
 They're compared to a lion.

00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:24.620
 And they will reduce Israel and Judah to ruins.

00:04:24.620 --> 00:04:29.319
 And so the fierce anger of the Lord, he says, has not turned back from them.

00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.699
 Remember that that's a key word in this book.

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:33.379
 Return, turn back.

00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:37.459
 God's repeatedly telling his people to turn back to him, to return to him.

00:04:37.579 --> 00:04:42.579
 But because they have not turned back to him, he now says the Lord's anger also has not

00:04:42.579 --> 00:04:45.600
 turned back from you because of the absence of repentance.

00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:51.540
 In light of this impending judgment, Jeremiah expresses his indignation to God in verse 10.

00:04:51.540 --> 00:04:56.560
 Ah, Lord God, surely you have utterly deceived this people in Jerusalem saying,

00:04:56.960 --> 00:04:58.640
 it shall be well with you.

00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.220
 Whereas the sword has reached their very life.

00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.860
 Of course, Jeremiah doesn't really mean that God is deceiving his people.

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:10.860
 It's a well-established truth that Old Testament believers knew that God never lies.

00:05:11.420 --> 00:05:16.400
 That Numbers 23 to 19 says, God is not man that he should lie or son of man that he should

00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:17.640
 change his mind.

00:05:18.259 --> 00:05:20.939
 But it sure seemed like God deceived his people.

00:05:20.939 --> 00:05:25.540
 And the reason for that is because the false prophets had repeatedly assured God's people

00:05:25.540 --> 00:05:29.699
 that it shall be well with them, that everything's going to be okay, that this is all temporary,

00:05:29.860 --> 00:05:33.160
 that everything's going to improve and things are going to get better and God is still with

00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:33.339
 them.

00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:38.240
 But because of these false prophets who had spoken to them and falsely assured them, it

00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.839
 seemed as if God himself was deceiving his people, even though judgment was right at

00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:43.560
 their doorsteps.

00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:49.899
 And with a series of kind of illustrative analogies, then God warns his people of this judgment

00:05:49.899 --> 00:05:51.800
 in verses 11 to 18.

00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:58.240
 First, in verses 11 to 13, this coming invasion from the north is described as a hot wind that

00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.220
 does not winnow or cleanse.

00:06:00.220 --> 00:06:06.800
 So what that means is that farmers in this era, right, they winnowed their grain by tossing

00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.820
 it into the air so that the wind blows upon it and all the chaff and the stuff that you

00:06:11.820 --> 00:06:15.760
 don't want along with your grain is blown away and they have the rest of the grain to take

00:06:15.760 --> 00:06:16.320
 with them, right?

00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:17.580
 So that's the idea.

00:06:17.760 --> 00:06:20.060
 So the wind in that sense was good for the farmers.

00:06:20.460 --> 00:06:25.100
 But here, the wind that is coming, this invasion that is coming from the north is not a wind.

00:06:25.100 --> 00:06:29.060
 It's a hot wind that does not winnow or cleanse.

00:06:29.460 --> 00:06:32.580
 It says in verse 12 that it's a wind that's too full for this.

00:06:33.100 --> 00:06:36.060
 It's like a storm, like a dust storm that comes, right?

00:06:36.140 --> 00:06:37.980
 It's wind that is too forceful.

00:06:38.300 --> 00:06:41.920
 So instead of winnowing the grain, it blows away all the grain along with the chaff.

00:06:42.100 --> 00:06:45.780
 That's the kind of wind that is coming and the judgment that is coming from the north will

00:06:45.780 --> 00:06:46.580
 not winnow.

00:06:46.700 --> 00:06:48.600
 It will not take away the evil people.

00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:51.500
 No, it will take away the good along with the bad.

00:06:51.500 --> 00:06:54.480
 It will bring total judgment on these people.

00:06:56.100 --> 00:07:00.000
 And verse 13 continues that powerful image of that powerful storm.

00:07:00.100 --> 00:07:02.640
 It says, behold, he comes up like clouds.

00:07:02.760 --> 00:07:04.480
 He's chariots like the whirlwind.

00:07:04.780 --> 00:07:06.720
 His horses are swifter than eagles.

00:07:07.220 --> 00:07:09.379
 Woe to us for we are ruined.

00:07:10.020 --> 00:07:15.400
 And upon learning of this, we see Jeremiah's anguish in verses 19 to 21.

00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:16.160
 Read with me.

00:07:16.820 --> 00:07:20.480
 My anguish, my anguish, I writhe in pain.

00:07:20.620 --> 00:07:24.160
 Oh, the walls of my heart, my heart is beating wildly.

00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:25.540
 I cannot keep silent.

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.660
 For I hear the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.

00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:30.420
 Crash follows hard on crash.

00:07:30.640 --> 00:07:32.200
 The whole land is laid waste.

00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:34.420
 Suddenly my tents are laid waste.

00:07:34.700 --> 00:07:36.060
 My curtains in a moment.

00:07:36.420 --> 00:07:40.780
 How long must I see the standard and hear the sound of the trumpet?

00:07:41.340 --> 00:07:43.520
 So this is an invasion that hasn't taken place yet.

00:07:43.580 --> 00:07:48.480
 So Jeremiah is either seeing a vision here or he is seeing and hearing things in his mind's

00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:49.620
 eye and ear.

00:07:49.900 --> 00:07:54.520
 And he's so upset and so vexed by this impending invasion.

00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:56.700
 And his mind is so preoccupied with it.

00:07:56.740 --> 00:08:02.460
 It's as if the invasion is right at his tent, breaking down his tent and his heart's beating

00:08:02.460 --> 00:08:02.900
 wildly.

00:08:03.960 --> 00:08:09.319
 And then in verse 22, we break off from Jeremiah's panic-strickened monologue to hear God's commentary

00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:10.100
 on what is happening.

00:08:10.340 --> 00:08:10.780
 He says,

00:08:10.779 --> 00:08:12.819
 For my people are foolish.

00:08:13.219 --> 00:08:14.279
 They know me not.

00:08:14.559 --> 00:08:15.799
 They are stupid children.

00:08:16.159 --> 00:08:17.339
 They have no understanding.

00:08:17.919 --> 00:08:19.479
 They are wise in doing evil.

00:08:19.659 --> 00:08:22.959
 But how to do good, they know not.

00:08:23.799 --> 00:08:28.839
 People who should be wise in doing good and innocent in what is evil instead are wise in

00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.519
 doing evil and ignorant about how to do good.

00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:38.939
 And then verses 23 to 26, using these figurative descriptions, Jeremiah continues to describe

00:08:38.939 --> 00:08:41.039
 the frightful judgment that God has in store for them.

00:08:41.620 --> 00:08:42.220
 He says,

00:08:42.220 --> 00:08:48.199
 I looked on the earth and behold, it was without form and void and to the heavens and they had

00:08:48.199 --> 00:08:48.799
 no light.

00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:54.779
 I looked on the mountains and behold, they were quaking and all the hills moved to and

00:08:54.779 --> 00:08:55.179
 fro.

00:08:55.539 --> 00:09:00.059
 I looked and behold, there was no man and all the birds of the air had fled.

00:09:00.059 --> 00:09:06.319
 I looked and behold, the fruitful land was a desert and all its cities were laid in ruins

00:09:06.319 --> 00:09:09.899
 before the Lord, before his fierce anger.

00:09:10.899 --> 00:09:15.979
 So the doom that Jeremiah is announcing is of kind of cataclysmic proportions.

00:09:16.419 --> 00:09:20.579
 If you're familiar with the book of Genesis, which we went through not long ago, you probably

00:09:20.579 --> 00:09:24.099
 know where the expression without form and void comes from, right?

00:09:24.719 --> 00:09:30.039
 Because in Genesis 1-2, in the initial stage of God's creation, when before the Lord, the

00:09:30.059 --> 00:09:36.439
 before he brought everything into order by forming and filling the earth, the earth in

00:09:36.439 --> 00:09:42.159
 that initial stage was described as formless and void, without form and void.

00:09:42.199 --> 00:09:46.619
 And that's the exact expression that Jeremiah uses here to describe the aftermath of the

00:09:46.619 --> 00:09:47.559
 judgment that is coming.

00:09:48.439 --> 00:09:51.559
 And so similarly, the heavens initially did not have any light, right?

00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:53.379
 But then God says in Genesis 1-3,

00:09:53.379 --> 00:09:55.179
 let there be light, and there was light.

00:09:55.439 --> 00:09:58.139
 But Jeremiah says that after the judgment, there is no light.

00:09:58.779 --> 00:10:03.960
 Likely, the mountains and hills that God brings forth, they're a symbol of stability and immovability.

00:10:04.299 --> 00:10:06.960
 Yet these mountains and hills themselves are quaking.

00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:08.419
 They're moving to and fro.

00:10:09.139 --> 00:10:13.220
 And similarly, the birds that God created in Genesis 1-20 will have all fled.

00:10:13.419 --> 00:10:14.439
 There's no birds.

00:10:14.899 --> 00:10:18.639
 And then Genesis 1-26, finally, God created man in his own image.

00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.360
 Male and female, he created them.

00:10:20.819 --> 00:10:23.299
 And then now there is no man in the land.

00:10:23.699 --> 00:10:29.879
 So this is a systematic and systemic reversal of God's creation.

00:10:30.580 --> 00:10:34.299
 What Jeremiah is predicting here is that the judgment that is coming is so total that it

00:10:34.299 --> 00:10:36.080
 will be a form of uncreation.

00:10:36.460 --> 00:10:38.439
 It will decreate the universe that God created.

00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:40.659
 That's the kind of judgment that is coming.

00:10:40.699 --> 00:10:43.879
 It will reduce Judah to this primordial chaos.

00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:48.480
 And in the face of such a destructive army, everyone flees.

00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:50.159
 And it says in verse 29,

00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.000
 At the noise of horsemen and archers, every city takes to flight.

00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:55.439
 They enter thickets.

00:10:55.500 --> 00:10:56.779
 They climb among the rocks.

00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:58.360
 And all the cities are forsaken.

00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:02.379
 And no man dwells in them but God's people.

00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:03.980
 Right?

00:11:04.019 --> 00:11:06.039
 That's the sensible thing to do when something like that comes.

00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:06.480
 You flee.

00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:10.139
 But look at what God's people do in verses 30-31.

00:11:10.139 --> 00:11:17.279
 And you, oh desolate one, what do you mean that you dress in scarlet?

00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:20.879
 That you adorn yourself with ornaments of gold?

00:11:21.340 --> 00:11:24.019
 That you enlarge your eyes with paint?

00:11:25.659 --> 00:11:28.299
 In vain you beautify yourself.

00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:30.559
 Your lovers despise you.

00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.039
 They seek your life.

00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.939
 For I heard a cry as of a woman in labor,

00:11:36.100 --> 00:11:39.139
 anguished as one giving birth to her first child.

00:11:39.139 --> 00:11:42.299
 The cry of the daughter of Zion gasping for breath,

00:11:42.779 --> 00:11:44.080
 stretching out her hands,

00:11:44.439 --> 00:11:47.779
 Woe is me, I am fainting before murderers.

00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:51.720
 The daughter of Zion is referenced to Jerusalem.

00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.100
 Daughter that is Zion is likely what it means.

00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:59.360
 And unlike other cities and nations that fled before the Babylonian Empire's invasions,

00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:02.120
 Jerusalem will open itself to invaders,

00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:06.200
 like a prostitute who opens herself to any willing client.

00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.240
 Instead of fleeing,

00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:10.940
 Jerusalem will seek to seduce Babylon

00:12:10.940 --> 00:12:12.820
 and come to terms with them.

00:12:13.040 --> 00:12:15.660
 But God warns them that it will not work.

00:12:16.400 --> 00:12:18.600
 They are not seeking a truce.

00:12:19.100 --> 00:12:20.620
 They are not seeking tribute.

00:12:20.900 --> 00:12:22.600
 They are seeking your destruction.

00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:25.740
 And because,

00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:29.800
 at least days before the invention of epidural,

00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.000
 the greatest pain known to man is that of childbirth,

00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:34.560
 especially first child.

00:12:34.920 --> 00:12:36.360
 So that's the image that is used.

00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:38.120
 The kind of pain that will come upon you

00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:40.700
 is that of a woman giving birth to her first child.

00:12:41.659 --> 00:12:43.100
 So that's the warning.

00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:45.120
 The warning of judgment.

00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:47.679
 And after this,

00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:49.779
 in chapters 5 and 6,

00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:51.600
 we see God's warrant for judgment.

00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:54.919
 There will continue to be warnings of judgment here also,

00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:55.600
 but in this section,

00:12:55.700 --> 00:12:58.639
 God clearly explains why he is warranted to judge,

00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:01.240
 why he is justified to judge these people

00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:02.799
 and to Jerusalem in this way.

00:13:03.340 --> 00:13:04.620
 To demonstrate this,

00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:07.220
 God issues a challenge to anyone

00:13:07.220 --> 00:13:08.560
 who would be willing to take it up

00:13:08.560 --> 00:13:10.539
 in chapter 5, verse 1.

00:13:10.700 --> 00:13:11.379
 It's a key verse.

00:13:11.460 --> 00:13:11.940
 Read with me.

00:13:11.940 --> 00:13:15.860
 Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem.

00:13:16.380 --> 00:13:17.640
 Look and take note.

00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.040
 Search her squares to see if you can find a man,

00:13:22.900 --> 00:13:26.440
 one who does justice and seeks truth,

00:13:26.900 --> 00:13:28.460
 that I may pardon her.

00:13:29.640 --> 00:13:33.000
 The word truth doesn't merely mean truthful.

00:13:33.700 --> 00:13:35.880
 Rather, it refers to someone who is true,

00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:38.460
 someone who is faithful and loyal.

00:13:38.460 --> 00:13:43.320
 And the word justice governs one's relationship to fellow men.

00:13:43.540 --> 00:13:46.780
 And the word truth governs one's relationship to God.

00:13:47.040 --> 00:13:48.240
 So those two words together,

00:13:48.300 --> 00:13:48.900
 when used together,

00:13:48.980 --> 00:13:50.920
 refer to our covenant faithfulness to God,

00:13:50.980 --> 00:13:52.180
 the relationship we have with him.

00:13:52.500 --> 00:13:54.240
 We are to be just to our neighbors

00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:55.720
 and true to our God.

00:13:55.940 --> 00:13:57.160
 That's what we are called to.

00:13:57.500 --> 00:14:00.060
 And yet, as people search the streets,

00:14:00.160 --> 00:14:02.080
 as Jeremiah looks and sees,

00:14:02.460 --> 00:14:05.720
 there is not one such man in the streets of Jerusalem.

00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.480
 If there were only one,

00:14:10.420 --> 00:14:12.940
 he promised that I would pardon her.

00:14:13.060 --> 00:14:13.920
 That's a reference to Jerusalem.

00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:16.080
 If there was one righteous person,

00:14:16.500 --> 00:14:18.060
 God would pardon the whole city.

00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.279
 But there is not one person

00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.000
 who can fit,

00:14:22.420 --> 00:14:23.420
 who meet that requirement.

00:14:25.460 --> 00:14:26.820
 Jerusalem was brazen.

00:14:27.700 --> 00:14:30.420
 Their faces are harder than rock,

00:14:30.460 --> 00:14:32.639
 it says in verse 3.

00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.840
 And Jeremiah was so confused

00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.480
 and really bewildered by their stubbornness,

00:14:39.860 --> 00:14:42.559
 he said this to himself in verses 4 to 5.

00:14:43.419 --> 00:14:44.740
 Well, these are only the poor.

00:14:45.580 --> 00:14:46.559
 They have no sense.

00:14:47.179 --> 00:14:49.100
 For they do not know the way of the Lord,

00:14:49.220 --> 00:14:50.519
 the justice of their God.

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:53.059
 I will go to the great and will speak to them.

00:14:53.179 --> 00:14:54.399
 For they know the way of the Lord

00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:55.799
 and the justice of their God.

00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:59.120
 So the poor here is contrasted with the great,

00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:01.159
 which usually refers to nobility

00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:02.799
 or to people of prominence.

00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:06.039
 So it's probably not referring to people

00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:07.560
 just who are economically poor

00:15:07.560 --> 00:15:08.340
 when he says poor,

00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:11.019
 but it's referring to the social class of people,

00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:13.820
 the people who are not of the nobility,

00:15:13.940 --> 00:15:14.879
 the higher social class.

00:15:15.419 --> 00:15:17.399
 He's referring to the uneducated masses,

00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:18.519
 basically, is what he's saying.

00:15:19.019 --> 00:15:20.860
 And so Jeremiah is trying to give

00:15:20.860 --> 00:15:21.759
 a charitable construction

00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:22.899
 and trying to give an excuse

00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:24.740
 for the people who are not following God

00:15:24.740 --> 00:15:25.060
 and saying,

00:15:25.340 --> 00:15:26.240
 oh, it's only the poor.

00:15:26.340 --> 00:15:27.120
 They don't know better.

00:15:27.620 --> 00:15:28.240
 They have no sense.

00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:29.460
 They don't know the way of the Lord,

00:15:29.539 --> 00:15:30.480
 the justice of their God.

00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:31.500
 And so he says to himself,

00:15:31.560 --> 00:15:32.299
 I'll go to the great

00:15:32.299 --> 00:15:33.500
 because they should know better.

00:15:33.560 --> 00:15:34.840
 They should know the way of the Lord.

00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:36.379
 But Jeremiah finds

00:15:36.379 --> 00:15:38.460
 that they all alike

00:15:38.460 --> 00:15:40.000
 had broken the yoke.

00:15:40.460 --> 00:15:41.879
 They had burst the bonds.

00:15:43.180 --> 00:15:44.799
 This image of breaking the yoke

00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:46.299
 is of an ox, right,

00:15:46.299 --> 00:15:48.220
 that is supposed to be under the yoke

00:15:48.220 --> 00:15:49.600
 that its master has placed on it

00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:51.379
 to labor and to do all the work

00:15:51.379 --> 00:15:53.220
 that it's called upon to do.

00:15:53.460 --> 00:15:55.440
 But instead, it breaks apart the yoke

00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:57.680
 and refuses to plow the ground

00:15:57.680 --> 00:15:59.140
 and roams on its own.

00:15:59.220 --> 00:16:00.180
 That's the kind of image.

00:16:00.300 --> 00:16:01.120
 That's what Israel,

00:16:01.280 --> 00:16:02.260
 that's what Judah is doing.

00:16:02.860 --> 00:16:03.380
 And of course,

00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:05.140
 an ox that bursts its bonds

00:16:05.140 --> 00:16:06.540
 and roams on its own,

00:16:06.800 --> 00:16:08.180
 then he thinks that it's free

00:16:08.180 --> 00:16:09.180
 and he thinks it's safe.

00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:09.640
 But of course,

00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:10.940
 that's exactly the moment

00:16:10.940 --> 00:16:12.180
 when it becomes vulnerable.

00:16:12.700 --> 00:16:14.020
 It's outside of the protection

00:16:14.020 --> 00:16:14.640
 of its master

00:16:14.640 --> 00:16:15.360
 and becomes vulnerable

00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:17.140
 to the predators.

00:16:17.860 --> 00:16:18.640
 And that's exactly

00:16:18.640 --> 00:16:19.820
 what we find in verse 6.

00:16:19.820 --> 00:16:36.900
 How apt is this

00:16:36.900 --> 00:16:38.700
 as a description of human sin

00:16:38.700 --> 00:16:40.080
 and sin in our own lives, right?

00:16:40.740 --> 00:16:42.620
 We think that we are freeing ourselves

00:16:42.620 --> 00:16:43.760
 from this heavy burden

00:16:43.760 --> 00:16:45.400
 and yoke that God's placed on us.

00:16:45.580 --> 00:16:47.020
 I don't want to labor for you, God.

00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:48.160
 I don't want to do these things.

00:16:48.160 --> 00:16:49.360
 I want to live for myself.

00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:51.220
 I want to do these things in freedom.

00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:51.680
 Do what?

00:16:51.899 --> 00:16:52.480
 Live it up.

00:16:52.560 --> 00:16:53.440
 That's what I want.

00:16:53.779 --> 00:16:55.279
 So you burst the bonds.

00:16:55.860 --> 00:16:56.759
 You break the yoke.

00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:58.200
 And you roam free

00:16:58.200 --> 00:16:59.919
 and think that you are having

00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:00.919
 the time of your life

00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:01.980
 only to realize

00:17:01.980 --> 00:17:03.960
 that that's the precise moment

00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:06.960
 when you are vulnerable

00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:08.660
 to the enemies

00:17:08.660 --> 00:17:10.839
 who are prowling all around you.

00:17:12.059 --> 00:17:14.039
 It's God's hedge around.

00:17:14.180 --> 00:17:16.079
 His protection is given for our good.

00:17:16.579 --> 00:17:18.160
 His boundaries that He set for us

00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:18.980
 to guide us in our lives

00:17:18.980 --> 00:17:19.819
 are given for our good

00:17:19.819 --> 00:17:21.380
 and Israel is breaking it.

00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:23.400
 And so God asks His people

00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:24.799
 in verses 7 to 9,

00:17:25.220 --> 00:17:26.900
 How can I pardon you?

00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:31.039
 Your children have forsaken me

00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:32.420
 and have sworn by those

00:17:32.420 --> 00:17:33.460
 who are no gods.

00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:35.759
 When I fed them to the full,

00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:37.360
 they committed adultery

00:17:37.360 --> 00:17:39.720
 and trooped to the houses of whores.

00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:42.100
 They were well-fed,

00:17:42.380 --> 00:17:43.339
 lusty stallions,

00:17:43.700 --> 00:17:45.860
 each neighing for his neighbor's wife.

00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:47.579
 Shall I not punish them

00:17:47.579 --> 00:17:48.140
 for these things,

00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:48.980
 declares the Lord?

00:17:49.140 --> 00:17:51.019
 And shall I not avenge myself

00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:52.960
 on a nation such as this?

00:17:53.380 --> 00:17:54.559
 We see here both

00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:55.960
 a figurative adultery

00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:57.019
 of going after idols

00:17:57.019 --> 00:17:58.720
 and a literal adultery

00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:00.420
 of going after their neighbor's wives.

00:18:01.259 --> 00:18:01.759
 In short,

00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:03.660
 Judah was both untrue to God

00:18:03.660 --> 00:18:05.860
 and unjust toward their neighbors.

00:18:05.859 --> 00:18:07.379
 They broke their covenant

00:18:07.379 --> 00:18:08.240
 with God completely.

00:18:08.719 --> 00:18:10.579
 And considering these realities,

00:18:11.059 --> 00:18:11.699
 God asked,

00:18:12.139 --> 00:18:13.719
 Shall I not punish

00:18:13.719 --> 00:18:15.099
 for these things?

00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:17.299
 Shall I not avenge myself

00:18:17.299 --> 00:18:18.839
 on a nation such as this?

00:18:18.919 --> 00:18:20.359
 This is God's warrant.

00:18:21.299 --> 00:18:21.740
 Yes,

00:18:22.579 --> 00:18:23.519
 God is warranted.

00:18:23.579 --> 00:18:24.319
 He is justified.

00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:26.199
 It is fair

00:18:26.199 --> 00:18:28.039
 and right for Him to punish.

00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:31.500
 The false prophets, however,

00:18:31.639 --> 00:18:32.659
 are saying in verse 12,

00:18:33.159 --> 00:18:34.059
 He will do nothing.

00:18:35.819 --> 00:18:37.879
 No disaster will come upon us,

00:18:38.259 --> 00:18:39.899
 nor shall we see sword or famine.

00:18:42.500 --> 00:18:43.740
 We hear that a lot

00:18:43.740 --> 00:18:44.859
 in our time as well.

00:18:46.059 --> 00:18:46.899
 There's no judgment.

00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:49.899
 Love wins.

00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:53.220
 Only love from God.

00:18:53.500 --> 00:18:54.920
 There will be no judgment.

00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:56.379
 He does not hold us to account.

00:18:56.380 --> 00:18:58.800
 That's the voice

00:18:58.800 --> 00:18:59.920
 of the false prophet.

00:19:00.580 --> 00:19:02.100
 God says in verse 13,

00:19:02.580 --> 00:19:04.420
 The prophets will become wind.

00:19:05.120 --> 00:19:06.800
 The word is not in them.

00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:09.680
 Thus shall it be done to them.

00:19:10.180 --> 00:19:12.200
 This is a biting word play

00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:13.420
 because the word wind

00:19:13.420 --> 00:19:14.200
 is the same word

00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:15.180
 that means spirit.

00:19:16.120 --> 00:19:17.080
 The prophets are supposed

00:19:17.080 --> 00:19:18.560
 to speak by the Spirit of God,

00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:19.260
 but instead of having

00:19:19.260 --> 00:19:20.100
 the Spirit of God,

00:19:20.360 --> 00:19:21.320
 these false prophets

00:19:21.320 --> 00:19:23.060
 are just a bag of wind.

00:19:23.059 --> 00:19:26.779
 verse 14,

00:19:26.859 --> 00:19:28.419
 In contrast to these false prophets,

00:19:28.539 --> 00:19:29.779
 God speaks to Jeremiah,

00:19:29.940 --> 00:19:32.039
 Because you have spoken this word,

00:19:32.139 --> 00:19:32.500
 behold,

00:19:32.740 --> 00:19:34.539
 I am making my words

00:19:34.539 --> 00:19:35.960
 in your mouth

00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:36.899
 of fire.

00:19:37.179 --> 00:19:38.859
 And this people would,

00:19:39.179 --> 00:19:40.399
 and the fire shall

00:19:40.399 --> 00:19:41.779
 consume them.

00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:42.500
 The truth

00:19:42.500 --> 00:19:44.000
 that comes forth

00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:45.139
 from Jeremiah's mouth

00:19:45.139 --> 00:19:46.359
 will consume

00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:47.139
 the people

00:19:47.139 --> 00:19:48.220
 who refuse to repent.

00:19:48.220 --> 00:19:50.000
 because God's word

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:50.940
 comes with power.

00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:55.100
 And in verse 15 to 17,

00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:56.680
 God speaks to all Israel

00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:57.839
 of their impending doom.

00:19:58.220 --> 00:19:59.079
 The nation that is coming

00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:00.420
 is so deadly

00:20:00.420 --> 00:20:01.180
 that their quiver

00:20:01.180 --> 00:20:02.680
 is like an open tomb.

00:20:02.819 --> 00:20:03.460
 When their quiver

00:20:03.460 --> 00:20:04.880
 is emptied of its arrows,

00:20:05.259 --> 00:20:06.779
 tombs in Judah and Israel

00:20:06.779 --> 00:20:07.819
 are filled with corpses.

00:20:08.579 --> 00:20:09.440
 And so once again,

00:20:09.539 --> 00:20:10.880
 and the warrant for judgment

00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:12.200
 is Israel's own sin.

00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:13.339
 Look with me at verse 19.

00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:15.059
 And when your people say,

00:20:15.059 --> 00:20:16.480
 Why has the Lord our God

00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:17.819
 done all these things to us?

00:20:18.220 --> 00:20:19.660
 You shall say to them,

00:20:20.460 --> 00:20:22.759
 As you have forsaken me

00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:24.539
 and served foreign gods

00:20:24.539 --> 00:20:25.319
 in your land,

00:20:25.539 --> 00:20:27.360
 so you shall serve foreigners

00:20:27.360 --> 00:20:29.480
 in a land that is not yours.

00:20:29.940 --> 00:20:30.860
 Poetic justice.

00:20:31.579 --> 00:20:32.700
 Those who reject God

00:20:32.700 --> 00:20:33.779
 to serve foreign gods

00:20:33.779 --> 00:20:34.539
 will themselves

00:20:34.539 --> 00:20:35.740
 end up serving foreigners.

00:20:36.860 --> 00:20:38.000
 And the foolishness

00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:38.920
 of Israel's sin

00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:39.740
 is fully exposed

00:20:39.740 --> 00:20:41.460
 in verses 20 to 25.

00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:42.079
 Read with me.

00:20:42.460 --> 00:20:43.100
 Hear this,

00:20:43.180 --> 00:20:44.559
 O foolish and senseless people,

00:20:44.620 --> 00:20:45.259
 who have eyes

00:20:45.259 --> 00:20:46.079
 but see not,

00:20:46.259 --> 00:20:47.100
 who have ears

00:20:47.100 --> 00:20:47.880
 but hear not.

00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:48.980
 Do you not fear me?

00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:49.880
 Declares the Lord.

00:20:50.340 --> 00:20:52.020
 Do you not tremble before me?

00:20:52.420 --> 00:20:53.720
 I place the sand

00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:55.020
 as the boundary for the sea,

00:20:55.320 --> 00:20:56.420
 a perpetual barrier

00:20:56.420 --> 00:20:57.620
 that it cannot pass.

00:20:57.820 --> 00:20:59.340
 Though the waves toss,

00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:00.780
 they cannot prevail.

00:21:01.120 --> 00:21:02.080
 Though they roar,

00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:03.840
 they cannot pass over it.

00:21:04.120 --> 00:21:05.160
 But this people

00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:06.720
 has a stubborn

00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:08.520
 and rebellious heart.

00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:10.600
 They have turned aside

00:21:10.600 --> 00:21:11.460
 and gone away.

00:21:11.560 --> 00:21:12.360
 They do not say

00:21:12.360 --> 00:21:13.060
 in their hearts,

00:21:13.340 --> 00:21:14.980
 Let us fear the Lord our God,

00:21:14.980 --> 00:21:16.039
 who gives the rain

00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:16.640
 in its season,

00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:17.460
 the autumn rain

00:21:17.460 --> 00:21:18.279
 and the spring rain

00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:19.200
 and keeps for us

00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:19.960
 the weeks appointed

00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:20.779
 for the harvest.

00:21:21.579 --> 00:21:22.420
 Your iniquities

00:21:22.420 --> 00:21:23.819
 have turned these away

00:21:23.819 --> 00:21:24.759
 and your sins

00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:25.680
 have kept good

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:26.839
 from you.

00:21:27.579 --> 00:21:29.339
 This is God

00:21:29.339 --> 00:21:30.620
 basically taking his court

00:21:30.620 --> 00:21:31.779
 to defend his case

00:21:31.779 --> 00:21:33.120
 because in the ancient

00:21:33.120 --> 00:21:34.140
 Near Eastern world,

00:21:34.539 --> 00:21:35.559
 the sea

00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:37.400
 symbolizes chaos

00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:38.160
 and darkness.

00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:39.640
 They saw the world

00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:41.299
 in this dualistic battle

00:21:41.299 --> 00:21:42.599
 between good and evil

00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:43.699
 and the forces of evil

00:21:43.699 --> 00:21:44.740
 were symbolized

00:21:44.740 --> 00:21:45.699
 by the sea.

00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:46.879
 So all the ancient

00:21:46.879 --> 00:21:47.799
 Near Eastern mythologies

00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:48.779
 speak of the gods

00:21:48.779 --> 00:21:50.039
 constantly striving

00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:50.699
 and fighting

00:21:50.699 --> 00:21:52.480
 against this sea monster,

00:21:52.699 --> 00:21:54.539
 this god of chaos.

00:21:55.199 --> 00:21:55.480
 Yet,

00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:57.219
 in the description

00:21:57.219 --> 00:21:57.899
 of the sea

00:21:57.899 --> 00:21:59.859
 in these verses,

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:00.759
 there is no struggle.

00:22:01.639 --> 00:22:03.019
 There is no contest.

00:22:04.299 --> 00:22:05.199
 The sea is just

00:22:05.199 --> 00:22:06.899
 merely one of his creatures.

00:22:08.059 --> 00:22:08.779
 And God says,

00:22:09.179 --> 00:22:09.980
 I set the boundary.

00:22:10.859 --> 00:22:11.379
 That's it.

00:22:11.419 --> 00:22:12.539
 He cannot come over it.

00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:16.779
 And contrary to

00:22:16.779 --> 00:22:18.740
 the idolatry of Israel

00:22:18.740 --> 00:22:19.240
 and Judah

00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:20.579
 who went after Baal,

00:22:20.719 --> 00:22:21.319
 the so-called

00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:22.299
 god of rain,

00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:23.480
 it is the Lord God

00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:24.219
 who brings rain

00:22:24.219 --> 00:22:24.899
 upon his people.

00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:25.879
 And God says,

00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:27.500
 and when this is all true,

00:22:27.740 --> 00:22:29.319
 you have not feared me.

00:22:30.219 --> 00:22:30.619
 Instead,

00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:31.459
 you have feared

00:22:31.459 --> 00:22:32.059
 these idols.

00:22:34.099 --> 00:22:35.039
 When God,

00:22:35.179 --> 00:22:36.359
 who is Lord over all,

00:22:36.419 --> 00:22:37.240
 who is enthroned

00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:38.459
 above all things,

00:22:38.659 --> 00:22:39.959
 when he should be feared

00:22:39.959 --> 00:22:40.679
 above all these

00:22:40.679 --> 00:22:41.439
 so-called gods,

00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:41.779
 instead,

00:22:41.940 --> 00:22:42.640
 you have turned away

00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:43.559
 from him.

00:22:43.620 --> 00:22:44.200
 How foolish

00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:45.120
 and senseless.

00:22:49.120 --> 00:22:50.080
 And so God says

00:22:50.080 --> 00:22:50.720
 once again,

00:22:51.120 --> 00:22:52.380
 in verses 26 to 30,

00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:54.400
 shall I not punish them

00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:55.380
 for these things?

00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:57.700
 Shall I not avenge myself

00:22:57.700 --> 00:22:58.519
 on a nation

00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:00.620
 such as this?

00:23:00.619 --> 00:23:04.079
 And look at the description.

00:23:04.299 --> 00:23:05.819
 So in chapters 2 and 3,

00:23:05.899 --> 00:23:06.439
 which we went over

00:23:06.439 --> 00:23:06.979
 last week,

00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:07.239
 right,

00:23:07.579 --> 00:23:08.579
 most of the sins

00:23:08.579 --> 00:23:10.179
 that Jeremiah described

00:23:10.179 --> 00:23:11.379
 had to do with

00:23:11.379 --> 00:23:12.699
 people's idolatry,

00:23:12.879 --> 00:23:13.919
 their sins against God,

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:14.439
 the way they were

00:23:14.439 --> 00:23:15.279
 untrue to God.

00:23:15.439 --> 00:23:16.959
 But here in this chapter

00:23:16.959 --> 00:23:19.399
 and chapter 6 as well,

00:23:19.579 --> 00:23:21.079
 the focus is really on

00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:22.899
 the sins toward our neighbors,

00:23:23.099 --> 00:23:24.259
 sins toward other people,

00:23:24.259 --> 00:23:27.299
 and how that affects God also.

00:23:27.420 --> 00:23:28.279
 So it's how we were

00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:30.400
 unjust toward our neighbors.

00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:31.420
 And that's what's highlighted

00:23:31.420 --> 00:23:33.119
 here in verses 26 to 30.

00:23:33.579 --> 00:23:34.299
 Read with me.

00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:35.200
 For wicked men

00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:36.500
 are found among my people.

00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:38.119
 They lurk like fowlers

00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:38.839
 lying in wait.

00:23:39.059 --> 00:23:39.879
 They set a trap.

00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:40.859
 They catch men

00:23:40.859 --> 00:23:42.440
 like a cage full of birds.

00:23:42.500 --> 00:23:42.900
 Their houses

00:23:42.900 --> 00:23:43.819
 are full of deceit.

00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:44.640
 Therefore,

00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:45.379
 they have become

00:23:45.379 --> 00:23:46.140
 great and rich.

00:23:46.420 --> 00:23:46.839
 They have grown

00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:47.680
 fat and sleek.

00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:49.000
 They know no bounds

00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:50.379
 in deeds of evil.

00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:51.660
 They judge not

00:23:51.660 --> 00:23:53.000
 with justice

00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:55.259
 the cause of the fatherless

00:23:55.259 --> 00:23:56.519
 to make it prosper.

00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:58.019
 And they do not defend

00:23:58.019 --> 00:23:59.779
 the rights of the needy.

00:23:59.920 --> 00:24:01.180
 Shall I not punish them

00:24:01.180 --> 00:24:01.940
 for these things?

00:24:02.460 --> 00:24:03.800
 Shall I not avenge myself

00:24:03.800 --> 00:24:05.160
 on a nation such as this?

00:24:08.380 --> 00:24:10.120
 When they should have been

00:24:10.120 --> 00:24:12.180
 advocating for those

00:24:12.180 --> 00:24:14.259
 who have no voice in society.

00:24:14.380 --> 00:24:16.259
 When they should have defended

00:24:16.259 --> 00:24:17.460
 those who are weak

00:24:17.460 --> 00:24:19.000
 and powerless in society.

00:24:19.300 --> 00:24:20.340
 These people instead

00:24:20.339 --> 00:24:21.619
 have taken advantage

00:24:21.619 --> 00:24:23.119
 of the fatherless

00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:24.480
 and the needy.

00:24:27.579 --> 00:24:28.619
 Because they have been

00:24:28.619 --> 00:24:30.079
 unjust toward their neighbors.

00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:32.859
 God pronounces judgment

00:24:32.859 --> 00:24:33.899
 over them.

00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:39.740
 Then now moving on

00:24:39.740 --> 00:24:40.599
 to chapter 6.

00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:42.199
 God continues to find

00:24:42.199 --> 00:24:45.379
 more things to warn them about.

00:24:45.500 --> 00:24:46.480
 More warnings of judgment.

00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:47.619
 But he also continues

00:24:47.619 --> 00:24:49.319
 to describe his warrant.

00:24:50.339 --> 00:24:52.039
 Because in verses 6 to 7

00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:53.959
 he says why they deserve

00:24:53.959 --> 00:24:54.639
 this destruction.

00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:55.819
 This is the city

00:24:55.819 --> 00:24:57.419
 that must be punished.

00:24:58.019 --> 00:24:58.679
 There is nothing

00:24:58.679 --> 00:25:00.220
 but oppression within her.

00:25:00.579 --> 00:25:02.240
 As a well keeps its water fresh

00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:03.459
 so keeps fresh.

00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:05.119
 She keeps fresh her evil.

00:25:05.579 --> 00:25:06.519
 Violence and destruction

00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:07.279
 are heard within her.

00:25:07.379 --> 00:25:08.220
 Sickness and wounds

00:25:08.220 --> 00:25:09.839
 are ever before me.

00:25:10.179 --> 00:25:10.980
 And one of the things

00:25:10.980 --> 00:25:11.959
 that specific ways

00:25:11.959 --> 00:25:13.019
 in which they have done this

00:25:13.019 --> 00:25:13.740
 is verse 9.

00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:14.839
 They shall glean...

00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:16.039
 Actually that's...

00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:17.119
 Sorry that's the wrong part.

00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:18.799
 And because of this

00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:19.619
 judgment is coming

00:25:19.619 --> 00:25:20.859
 and the invaders will leave

00:25:20.859 --> 00:25:22.319
 no stone unturned.

00:25:22.500 --> 00:25:23.419
 And it says in verse 9

00:25:23.419 --> 00:25:24.219
 they shall...

00:25:24.219 --> 00:25:24.939
 These are the invaders

00:25:24.939 --> 00:25:27.139
 glean thoroughly as a vine

00:25:27.139 --> 00:25:28.959
 the remnant of Israel.

00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:30.759
 And then God commands

00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:31.799
 these invaders

00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:33.579
 and the rest of the verse

00:25:33.579 --> 00:25:35.039
 like a grape gatherer

00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:36.059
 pass your hand

00:25:36.059 --> 00:25:37.879
 again over its branches.

00:25:38.399 --> 00:25:39.519
 So you need to kind of

00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:40.739
 know the agricultural

00:25:40.739 --> 00:25:44.719
 I guess practices of this time

00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:45.440
 to understand this

00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:46.900
 because gleaning metaphor

00:25:46.900 --> 00:25:47.940
 kind of is signaling

00:25:47.940 --> 00:25:48.980
 the comprehensiveness

00:25:48.980 --> 00:25:49.720
 of this judgment

00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:51.100
 because according to

00:25:51.100 --> 00:25:51.740
 Mosaic law

00:25:51.740 --> 00:25:52.860
 Israelites were permitted

00:25:52.860 --> 00:25:54.200
 to harvest their fields

00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:55.460
 and harvest their vineyards

00:25:55.460 --> 00:25:56.779
 but they were not allowed

00:25:56.779 --> 00:25:57.339
 to glean.

00:25:57.900 --> 00:25:59.100
 So gleaning is what you do

00:25:59.100 --> 00:26:00.039
 after the harvest.

00:26:00.420 --> 00:26:01.519
 You go back and pick

00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:02.839
 the ones that are still left

00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:03.900
 and you pick up the fruits

00:26:03.900 --> 00:26:04.600
 that have been dropped.

00:26:04.740 --> 00:26:05.860
 You're basically finishing

00:26:05.860 --> 00:26:06.600
 the harvest.

00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:07.680
 That's what gleaning is.

00:26:08.140 --> 00:26:10.480
 And in Leviticus 19.10

00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:11.460
 this is what God says.

00:26:11.860 --> 00:26:12.900
 You shall not strip

00:26:12.900 --> 00:26:13.880
 your vineyard bare

00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:15.460
 neither shall you gather

00:26:15.460 --> 00:26:16.220
 the fallen grapes

00:26:16.220 --> 00:26:16.900
 of your vineyard.

00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:18.160
 You shall leave them

00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:19.280
 for the poor

00:26:19.280 --> 00:26:21.080
 and for the sojourner.

00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:24.240
 I am the Lord your God.

00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:27.620
 So there's poetic justice here also.

00:26:27.820 --> 00:26:29.340
 God cares for the poor.

00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:31.020
 He cares for the sojourners

00:26:31.020 --> 00:26:32.100
 those who are foreign

00:26:32.100 --> 00:26:33.380
 who have no say

00:26:33.380 --> 00:26:34.220
 in their society.

00:26:36.660 --> 00:26:37.520
 And yet

00:26:37.520 --> 00:26:39.300
 and so they abuse the poor.

00:26:39.420 --> 00:26:40.200
 They were unjust

00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:41.260
 toward the poor

00:26:41.260 --> 00:26:42.680
 and toward the fatherless.

00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:44.000
 And what God says

00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:44.740
 in turn will happen

00:26:44.740 --> 00:26:45.560
 is that your invaders

00:26:45.560 --> 00:26:46.080
 will come

00:26:46.080 --> 00:26:47.320
 and they will glean you.

00:26:48.340 --> 00:26:50.000
 Already in 722 BC

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:50.940
 the Assyrian Empire

00:26:50.940 --> 00:26:51.580
 had gone through

00:26:51.580 --> 00:26:52.200
 the northern kingdom

00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:53.820
 of Israel

00:26:53.820 --> 00:26:55.120
 made them all exiles

00:26:55.120 --> 00:26:57.039
 and now the Babylonian kingdom

00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:57.700
 comes again

00:26:57.700 --> 00:26:58.620
 to clean up

00:26:58.620 --> 00:26:59.820
 what is left

00:26:59.820 --> 00:27:01.400
 to glean the rest of them.

00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:03.500
 There will be no fruit remaining.

00:27:05.380 --> 00:27:06.920
 That's the comprehensiveness

00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:08.860
 of the judgment

00:27:08.860 --> 00:27:09.779
 that is coming.

00:27:09.779 --> 00:27:12.579
 Because verse 13, 14 says

00:27:12.579 --> 00:27:13.639
 from the least

00:27:13.639 --> 00:27:14.940
 to the greatest

00:27:14.940 --> 00:27:15.920
 everyone

00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:16.940
 is greedy

00:27:16.940 --> 00:27:18.980
 for unjust gain.

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:21.940
 And these false prophets

00:27:21.940 --> 00:27:22.740
 it says in verse 14

00:27:22.740 --> 00:27:23.319
 they have healed

00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:24.019
 the wound

00:27:24.019 --> 00:27:24.759
 of my people

00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:25.539
 lightly saying

00:27:25.539 --> 00:27:26.599
 peace, peace

00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:28.200
 when there is no peace.

00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:30.059
 They have treated

00:27:30.059 --> 00:27:31.240
 a heart defect

00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:32.720
 like a heart burn.

00:27:35.240 --> 00:27:36.259
 Giving people

00:27:36.259 --> 00:27:37.619
 antacids

00:27:37.619 --> 00:27:38.759
 when they really need

00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:39.879
 an open heart surgery.

00:27:41.819 --> 00:27:43.219
 They have treated

00:27:43.219 --> 00:27:44.099
 skin cancer

00:27:44.099 --> 00:27:45.339
 like a cut

00:27:45.339 --> 00:27:47.059
 putting a band-aid

00:27:47.059 --> 00:27:47.519
 over it

00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:48.739
 when what they need

00:27:48.739 --> 00:27:49.619
 is a surgery.

00:27:54.919 --> 00:27:55.959
 Don't believe

00:27:55.959 --> 00:27:56.719
 the false

00:27:56.719 --> 00:27:57.459
 the voice

00:27:57.459 --> 00:27:58.179
 of the false prophets

00:27:58.179 --> 00:27:58.619
 that say

00:27:58.619 --> 00:27:59.619
 you don't need

00:27:59.619 --> 00:28:00.500
 a radical transformation

00:28:00.500 --> 00:28:01.219
 in your life.

00:28:01.539 --> 00:28:02.699
 You're a pretty good person.

00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:03.679
 All you need to do

00:28:03.679 --> 00:28:04.159
 is change

00:28:04.159 --> 00:28:04.619
 and modify

00:28:04.619 --> 00:28:05.199
 little things

00:28:05.199 --> 00:28:05.799
 here and there

00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:06.779
 turn a new page

00:28:06.779 --> 00:28:07.740
 and you can be good

00:28:07.740 --> 00:28:08.319
 before God.

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:09.559
 That is a lie.

00:28:10.879 --> 00:28:11.579
 You need

00:28:11.579 --> 00:28:12.899
 an open heart surgery.

00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:13.639
 You need

00:28:13.639 --> 00:28:15.259
 a total transformation.

00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:16.059
 You need

00:28:16.059 --> 00:28:16.579
 to become

00:28:16.579 --> 00:28:17.660
 a new creation

00:28:17.660 --> 00:28:18.740
 in Christ

00:28:18.740 --> 00:28:19.920
 and that's the message

00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:20.559
 here

00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:21.619
 that you must repent.

00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:23.899
 There is no peace

00:28:23.899 --> 00:28:24.740
 without Christ.

00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:25.899
 There is no peace

00:28:25.899 --> 00:28:26.480
 without returning

00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:26.940
 to God

00:28:26.940 --> 00:28:28.480
 completely and wholeheartedly

00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:29.559
 with all that you are.

00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:33.359
 Yet God's people

00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:34.160
 have abandoned

00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:34.980
 His ways

00:28:34.980 --> 00:28:35.660
 and lost

00:28:35.660 --> 00:28:36.900
 look at verses

00:28:36.900 --> 00:28:38.259
 16 to 21.

00:28:38.259 --> 00:28:39.019
 And stand

00:28:39.019 --> 00:28:39.940
 by the roads

00:28:39.940 --> 00:28:40.400
 and look

00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:41.259
 and ask

00:28:41.259 --> 00:28:42.340
 for the ancient

00:28:42.340 --> 00:28:42.940
 paths

00:28:42.940 --> 00:28:44.200
 where the good way

00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:44.680
 is

00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:46.140
 and walk in it

00:28:46.140 --> 00:28:47.400
 and find rest

00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:48.220
 for your souls.

00:28:48.740 --> 00:28:49.580
 But they said

00:28:49.580 --> 00:28:50.720
 we will not

00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:51.259
 walk in it.

00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:53.460
 I said

00:28:53.460 --> 00:28:54.320
 watchmen over you

00:28:54.320 --> 00:28:55.320
 saying pay attention

00:28:55.320 --> 00:28:56.060
 to the sound

00:28:56.060 --> 00:28:56.580
 of the trumpet.

00:28:57.040 --> 00:28:57.740
 But they said

00:28:57.740 --> 00:28:58.640
 we will not

00:28:58.640 --> 00:28:59.259
 pay attention.

00:29:01.320 --> 00:29:02.440
 Therefore hear

00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:03.680
 O nations

00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:04.539
 and know

00:29:04.539 --> 00:29:05.799
 O congregation

00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:07.320
 what will happen

00:29:07.320 --> 00:29:07.759
 to them.

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:09.059
 Hear O earth

00:29:09.059 --> 00:29:09.440
 behold

00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:09.940
 I am bringing

00:29:09.940 --> 00:29:10.860
 disaster upon

00:29:10.860 --> 00:29:11.320
 this people

00:29:11.320 --> 00:29:11.860
 the fruit of

00:29:11.860 --> 00:29:12.519
 their devices

00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:13.360
 because they have

00:29:13.360 --> 00:29:14.340
 not paid attention

00:29:14.340 --> 00:29:15.039
 to my words

00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:16.180
 and as for my law

00:29:16.180 --> 00:29:17.340
 they have rejected it.

00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:18.680
 What used to me

00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:19.680
 is frankincense

00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:20.640
 that comes from Sheba

00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:21.900
 or sweet cane

00:29:21.900 --> 00:29:22.940
 from a distant land.

00:29:23.299 --> 00:29:24.340
 Your burnt offerings

00:29:24.340 --> 00:29:25.759
 are not acceptable

00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:27.299
 nor your sacrifice

00:29:27.299 --> 00:29:28.680
 is pleasing to me.

00:29:29.080 --> 00:29:29.360
 Therefore

00:29:29.360 --> 00:29:30.320
 thus says the Lord

00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:31.000
 behold

00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:32.119
 I will lay before

00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:32.579
 this people

00:29:32.579 --> 00:29:33.539
 stumbling blocks

00:29:33.539 --> 00:29:34.480
 against which

00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:35.559
 they shall stumble.

00:29:35.919 --> 00:29:36.700
 Fathers and sons

00:29:36.700 --> 00:29:37.279
 together

00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:38.539
 neighbor and friend

00:29:38.539 --> 00:29:39.759
 shall perish.

00:29:41.099 --> 00:29:42.019
 Some people

00:29:42.019 --> 00:29:42.679
 in our culture

00:29:42.679 --> 00:29:43.779
 value rugged

00:29:43.779 --> 00:29:44.619
 individualism

00:29:44.619 --> 00:29:45.720
 and they romanticize

00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:46.339
 about taking

00:29:46.339 --> 00:29:46.919
 the road

00:29:46.919 --> 00:29:48.139
 less traveled by.

00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:49.519
 Let's forge

00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:50.399
 a new path

00:29:50.399 --> 00:29:50.939
 and find

00:29:50.939 --> 00:29:51.919
 a new frontier

00:29:51.919 --> 00:29:52.460
 as we say.

00:29:53.539 --> 00:29:54.159
 Fascinated

00:29:54.159 --> 00:29:54.879
 with the rapid

00:29:54.879 --> 00:29:55.779
 events of technology

00:29:55.779 --> 00:29:56.480
 we are always

00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:56.939
 looking for

00:29:56.939 --> 00:29:58.500
 the next big thing.

00:29:58.939 --> 00:29:59.759
 But when it comes

00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:00.599
 to our faith

00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:01.599
 and life

00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:02.680
 in Jesus Christ

00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:03.279
 when it comes

00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:03.879
 to our walk

00:30:03.879 --> 00:30:04.619
 with God

00:30:04.619 --> 00:30:05.240
 it says

00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:06.619
 the ancient past

00:30:06.619 --> 00:30:07.740
 that's where

00:30:07.740 --> 00:30:08.799
 the good way is.

00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:12.059
 Our world

00:30:12.059 --> 00:30:12.779
 has changed

00:30:12.779 --> 00:30:13.200
 yes

00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:14.200
 but God

00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:15.160
 has not changed.

00:30:17.180 --> 00:30:18.180
 The way

00:30:18.180 --> 00:30:18.859
 our spiritual

00:30:18.859 --> 00:30:19.379
 problems

00:30:19.379 --> 00:30:20.420
 manifest themselves

00:30:20.420 --> 00:30:21.440
 have changed

00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:21.920
 yes

00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:23.539
 our vices

00:30:23.539 --> 00:30:24.279
 have changed

00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:26.180
 but the root

00:30:26.180 --> 00:30:26.960
 of all of those

00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:27.420
 sins

00:30:27.420 --> 00:30:29.320
 our rebellion

00:30:29.320 --> 00:30:30.039
 against God

00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:30.900
 has not

00:30:30.900 --> 00:30:31.980
 changed.

00:30:33.259 --> 00:30:34.500
 Our underlying

00:30:34.500 --> 00:30:35.440
 spiritual problem

00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:36.460
 is still the same

00:30:36.460 --> 00:30:37.320
 and therefore

00:30:37.320 --> 00:30:37.960
 the solution

00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:39.120
 is still the same

00:30:39.120 --> 00:30:39.820
 one suggested

00:30:39.820 --> 00:30:40.400
 all throughout

00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:40.820
 scripture.

00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:42.560
 Our problems

00:30:42.560 --> 00:30:43.480
 are not novel

00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:44.320
 and we can find

00:30:44.320 --> 00:30:44.980
 God's wisdom

00:30:44.980 --> 00:30:45.680
 for navigating

00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:46.820
 our ever-changing

00:30:46.820 --> 00:30:47.880
 world in God's

00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:49.019
 unchanging word.

00:30:49.019 --> 00:30:52.200
 God's people

00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:52.920
 have rejected

00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:53.440
 the ancient

00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:53.940
 paths

00:30:53.940 --> 00:30:55.500
 they've ignored

00:30:55.500 --> 00:30:56.099
 the watchmen

00:30:56.099 --> 00:30:56.740
 like Jeremiah

00:30:56.740 --> 00:30:58.680
 and so God

00:30:58.680 --> 00:30:59.440
 calls upon

00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:00.019
 the nations

00:31:00.019 --> 00:31:00.519
 of the earth

00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:01.240
 as witnesses

00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:02.379
 and announces

00:31:02.379 --> 00:31:02.960
 his judgment

00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:03.700
 over his

00:31:03.700 --> 00:31:04.279
 congregation

00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:06.579
 and these people

00:31:06.579 --> 00:31:07.799
 are not

00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:08.160
 you know

00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:09.139
 completely

00:31:09.139 --> 00:31:10.500
 abandoning God

00:31:10.500 --> 00:31:11.019
 they're still

00:31:11.019 --> 00:31:11.740
 paying lip service

00:31:11.740 --> 00:31:12.139
 to him

00:31:12.139 --> 00:31:13.240
 because we see

00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:13.619
 that they're

00:31:13.619 --> 00:31:14.279
 bringing offering

00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:14.599
 right?

00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:15.099
 they're bringing

00:31:15.099 --> 00:31:16.019
 frankincense

00:31:16.019 --> 00:31:16.819
 from Sheba

00:31:16.819 --> 00:31:18.000
 that's a

00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:19.359
 highly

00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:20.159
 coveted

00:31:20.159 --> 00:31:20.799
 commodity

00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:22.339
 exotic

00:31:22.339 --> 00:31:24.039
 they bring

00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:24.879
 sweet cane

00:31:24.879 --> 00:31:25.679
 from a distant

00:31:25.679 --> 00:31:26.099
 land

00:31:26.099 --> 00:31:27.059
 yet God

00:31:27.059 --> 00:31:27.399
 says their

00:31:27.399 --> 00:31:27.819
 offerings

00:31:27.819 --> 00:31:28.279
 are not

00:31:28.279 --> 00:31:28.899
 acceptable

00:31:28.899 --> 00:31:30.240
 it's not

00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:31.019
 pleasing

00:31:31.019 --> 00:31:32.240
 as 1 Samuel

00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:33.099
 15 22

00:31:33.099 --> 00:31:33.639
 says

00:31:33.639 --> 00:31:34.319
 has the

00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:34.579
 Lord

00:31:34.579 --> 00:31:35.059
 as great

00:31:35.059 --> 00:31:35.480
 delight

00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:35.959
 in burnt

00:31:35.959 --> 00:31:36.500
 offerings

00:31:36.500 --> 00:31:38.719
 and sacrifices

00:31:38.719 --> 00:31:39.240
 as in

00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:39.639
 obeying

00:31:39.639 --> 00:31:40.019
 the voice

00:31:40.019 --> 00:31:40.240
 of the

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:40.459
 Lord

00:31:40.459 --> 00:31:41.219
 behold

00:31:41.219 --> 00:31:41.899
 to obey

00:31:41.899 --> 00:31:42.519
 is better

00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:43.339
 than sacrifice

00:31:43.339 --> 00:31:43.740
 and to

00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:44.079
 listen

00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:44.500
 than the

00:31:44.500 --> 00:31:44.740
 fat

00:31:44.740 --> 00:31:44.980
 of

00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:45.419
 rams

00:31:45.419 --> 00:31:46.960
 it's

00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:47.359
 easy

00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:47.720
 to

00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:48.079
 to

00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:48.519
 recognize

00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:49.019
 to wear

00:31:49.019 --> 00:31:49.439
 a badge

00:31:49.439 --> 00:31:50.159
 of respectability

00:31:50.159 --> 00:31:50.779
 as Christians

00:31:50.779 --> 00:31:51.419
 with certain

00:31:51.419 --> 00:31:52.779
 behavioral markers

00:31:52.779 --> 00:31:53.119
 that we

00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:53.579
 fulfill

00:31:53.579 --> 00:31:54.500
 like going

00:31:54.500 --> 00:31:55.019
 to church

00:31:55.019 --> 00:31:55.919
 praying

00:31:55.919 --> 00:31:56.679
 before meals

00:31:56.679 --> 00:31:59.599
 not swearing

00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:00.199
 out loud

00:32:00.199 --> 00:32:00.439
 in front

00:32:00.439 --> 00:32:00.879
 of people

00:32:00.879 --> 00:32:04.159
 coming

00:32:04.159 --> 00:32:04.559
 to Sunday

00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:04.980
 services

00:32:04.980 --> 00:32:05.460
 and

00:32:05.460 --> 00:32:06.179
 raising

00:32:06.179 --> 00:32:06.619
 our hands

00:32:06.619 --> 00:32:07.019
 in worship

00:32:07.019 --> 00:32:09.879
 if we do

00:32:09.879 --> 00:32:10.579
 all of those

00:32:10.579 --> 00:32:11.039
 things

00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:11.819
 yet when

00:32:11.819 --> 00:32:12.240
 we

00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:14.140
 are in

00:32:14.140 --> 00:32:14.259
 the

00:32:14.259 --> 00:32:14.579
 privacy

00:32:14.579 --> 00:32:14.880
 of our

00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:15.299
 homes

00:32:15.299 --> 00:32:17.480
 when we

00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:17.920
 are in

00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:19.440
 a different

00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:20.500
 compartmentalized

00:32:20.500 --> 00:32:20.940
 part of our

00:32:20.940 --> 00:32:21.220
 life

00:32:21.220 --> 00:32:22.099
 with friends

00:32:22.099 --> 00:32:22.720
 who don't

00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:23.079
 know our

00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:23.400
 life

00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:24.319
 as a

00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:24.640
 Christian

00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:26.000
 we live

00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:26.200
 in

00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:27.039
 disobedience

00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:30.379
 if we

00:32:30.379 --> 00:32:31.019
 disobey

00:32:31.019 --> 00:32:31.980
 what good

00:32:31.980 --> 00:32:33.059
 is our

00:32:33.059 --> 00:32:33.839
 sacrifice

00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:38.940
 what good

00:32:38.940 --> 00:32:39.319
 is it

00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:40.539
 to have

00:32:40.539 --> 00:32:41.159
 that fish

00:32:41.159 --> 00:32:41.859
 sticker on

00:32:41.859 --> 00:32:42.259
 your car

00:32:42.259 --> 00:32:42.839
 or wear a

00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:43.180
 cross

00:32:43.180 --> 00:32:43.839
 on your

00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:44.159
 neck

00:32:44.159 --> 00:32:44.859
 if you

00:32:44.859 --> 00:32:45.559
 are not

00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:46.220
 completely

00:32:46.220 --> 00:32:46.599
 submitted

00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:46.940
 to the

00:32:46.940 --> 00:32:47.180
 Lord

00:32:47.180 --> 00:32:47.740
 and living

00:32:47.740 --> 00:32:48.240
 in light

00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:49.099
 of what

00:32:49.099 --> 00:32:49.460
 he has

00:32:49.460 --> 00:32:49.799
 revealed

00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:50.099
 in his

00:32:50.099 --> 00:32:50.359
 word

00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:55.699
 at the

00:32:55.699 --> 00:32:56.079
 close of

00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:56.240
 this

00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:56.559
 chapter

00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:56.859
 God

00:32:56.859 --> 00:32:57.539
 reiterates

00:32:57.539 --> 00:32:57.679
 his

00:32:57.679 --> 00:32:58.000
 commission

00:32:58.000 --> 00:32:58.179
 to

00:32:58.179 --> 00:32:58.579
 Jeremiah

00:32:58.579 --> 00:32:59.399
 once again

00:32:59.399 --> 00:32:59.719
 verses

00:32:59.719 --> 00:33:00.459
 27 to

00:33:00.459 --> 00:33:00.799
 30

00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:02.479
 I have

00:33:02.479 --> 00:33:03.000
 made you

00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:03.639
 a tester

00:33:03.639 --> 00:33:04.579
 of metals

00:33:04.579 --> 00:33:05.240
 among my

00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:05.599
 people

00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:06.259
 that you

00:33:06.259 --> 00:33:06.819
 may know

00:33:06.819 --> 00:33:07.519
 and test

00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:08.219
 their ways

00:33:08.219 --> 00:33:08.899
 they are

00:33:08.899 --> 00:33:09.859
 all stubbornly

00:33:09.859 --> 00:33:10.439
 rebellious

00:33:10.439 --> 00:33:11.259
 going about

00:33:11.259 --> 00:33:12.119
 with slanders

00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:12.879
 they are

00:33:12.879 --> 00:33:13.619
 bronze and

00:33:13.619 --> 00:33:13.939
 iron

00:33:13.939 --> 00:33:14.639
 all of them

00:33:14.639 --> 00:33:15.000
 act

00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:15.759
 corruptly

00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:16.819
 the bellows

00:33:16.819 --> 00:33:17.199
 blow

00:33:17.199 --> 00:33:17.859
 fiercely

00:33:17.859 --> 00:33:18.399
 the lead

00:33:18.399 --> 00:33:19.139
 is consumed

00:33:19.139 --> 00:33:19.619
 by the

00:33:19.619 --> 00:33:19.959
 fire

00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:21.120
 in vain

00:33:21.120 --> 00:33:21.920
 the refining

00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:22.539
 goes on

00:33:22.539 --> 00:33:23.500
 for the

00:33:23.500 --> 00:33:23.660
 wicked

00:33:23.660 --> 00:33:24.059
 are not

00:33:24.059 --> 00:33:24.519
 removed

00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:25.840
 rejected

00:33:25.840 --> 00:33:26.299
 silver

00:33:26.299 --> 00:33:26.680
 they are

00:33:26.680 --> 00:33:27.000
 called

00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:27.720
 for the

00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:28.000
 Lord

00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:28.539
 has

00:33:28.539 --> 00:33:29.240
 rejected

00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:30.380
 them

00:33:30.380 --> 00:33:32.140
 Jeremiah

00:33:32.140 --> 00:33:32.640
 is to

00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:33.100
 test

00:33:33.100 --> 00:33:33.519
 God's

00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:33.880
 people

00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:34.579
 like a

00:33:34.579 --> 00:33:35.259
 metallurgist

00:33:35.259 --> 00:33:36.059
 who tests

00:33:36.059 --> 00:33:36.500
 metal

00:33:36.500 --> 00:33:37.500
 when they

00:33:37.500 --> 00:33:38.100
 test metal

00:33:38.100 --> 00:33:38.519
 they put

00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:38.660
 it in

00:33:38.660 --> 00:33:39.079
 the fire

00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:39.759
 to refine

00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:40.059
 it

00:33:40.059 --> 00:33:40.740
 to burn

00:33:40.740 --> 00:33:40.940
 away

00:33:40.940 --> 00:33:41.220
 all the

00:33:41.220 --> 00:33:41.680
 impurities

00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:42.340
 but if

00:33:42.340 --> 00:33:42.660
 the metal

00:33:42.660 --> 00:33:43.279
 has too

00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:43.640
 much

00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:44.200
 impurities

00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:45.220
 they discard

00:33:45.220 --> 00:33:45.740
 the affected

00:33:45.740 --> 00:33:46.059
 metal

00:33:46.059 --> 00:33:46.620
 altogether

00:33:46.620 --> 00:33:47.279
 because it's

00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:47.680
 useless

00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:49.039
 and such

00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:49.400
 was the

00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:49.900
 case with

00:33:49.900 --> 00:33:50.200
 God's

00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:50.420
 people

00:33:50.420 --> 00:33:50.759
 they are

00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:51.220
 all

00:33:51.220 --> 00:33:51.940
 stubbornly

00:33:51.940 --> 00:33:52.500
 rebellious

00:33:52.500 --> 00:33:53.220
 going about

00:33:53.220 --> 00:33:53.880
 with slanders

00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:54.200
 they are

00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:54.880
 bronze and

00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:55.160
 iron

00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:55.740
 all of them

00:33:55.740 --> 00:33:56.700
 act corruptly

00:33:56.700 --> 00:33:57.720
 right

00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:58.640
 so what

00:33:58.640 --> 00:33:59.480
 Jeremiah is

00:33:59.480 --> 00:33:59.920
 looking for

00:33:59.920 --> 00:34:00.120
 in the

00:34:00.120 --> 00:34:00.780
 refining process

00:34:00.780 --> 00:34:01.519
 is silver

00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:02.300
 silver

00:34:02.300 --> 00:34:02.940
 for it to

00:34:02.940 --> 00:34:03.180
 come

00:34:03.180 --> 00:34:03.700
 and yet

00:34:03.700 --> 00:34:04.000
 instead

00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:04.400
 all he

00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:04.720
 finds

00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:05.220
 is bronze

00:34:05.220 --> 00:34:05.700
 and iron

00:34:05.700 --> 00:34:06.080
 and what

00:34:06.080 --> 00:34:06.440
 an apt

00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:06.740
 image

00:34:06.740 --> 00:34:07.100
 because those

00:34:07.100 --> 00:34:07.600
 are two

00:34:07.600 --> 00:34:07.780
 of the

00:34:07.780 --> 00:34:08.019
 hardest

00:34:08.019 --> 00:34:08.420
 metals

00:34:08.420 --> 00:34:08.800
 known

00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:09.280
 to the

00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:10.160
 people

00:34:10.160 --> 00:34:10.400
 in the

00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:10.539
 ancient

00:34:10.539 --> 00:34:10.940
 world

00:34:10.940 --> 00:34:14.400
 stubborn

00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:15.079
 rebellious

00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:15.599
 bronze

00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:15.980
 iron

00:34:15.980 --> 00:34:17.240
 no silver

00:34:17.240 --> 00:34:17.619
 to show

00:34:17.619 --> 00:34:18.039
 for it

00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:19.139
 so God

00:34:19.139 --> 00:34:19.719
 has rejected

00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:20.179
 them all

00:34:20.179 --> 00:34:22.699
 you have

00:34:22.699 --> 00:34:23.019
 been very

00:34:23.019 --> 00:34:23.400
 patient

00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:24.940
 following along

00:34:24.940 --> 00:34:26.300
 through a whole

00:34:26.300 --> 00:34:27.019
 series of God's

00:34:27.019 --> 00:34:27.300
 judgments

00:34:27.300 --> 00:34:28.619
 and you

00:34:28.619 --> 00:34:29.059
 are

00:34:29.059 --> 00:34:30.059
 it's fair

00:34:30.059 --> 00:34:30.380
 for you to

00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:30.659
 ask the

00:34:30.659 --> 00:34:31.079
 question

00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:32.480
 why

00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:33.420
 does God's

00:34:33.420 --> 00:34:33.780
 rejection

00:34:33.780 --> 00:34:34.219
 of his

00:34:34.219 --> 00:34:34.619
 people

00:34:34.619 --> 00:34:35.079
 from

00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:36.240
 2600

00:34:36.240 --> 00:34:36.960
 years ago

00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:37.619
 matter

00:34:37.619 --> 00:34:38.119
 to

00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:38.760
 me

00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:39.599
 now

00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:45.239
 we're so

00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:45.539
 far

00:34:45.539 --> 00:34:45.880
 removed

00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:46.179
 from it

00:34:46.179 --> 00:34:46.440
 now

00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:47.619
 we

00:34:47.619 --> 00:34:47.940
 haven't

00:34:47.940 --> 00:34:48.239
 sinned

00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:48.400
 like

00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:48.579
 they

00:34:48.579 --> 00:34:48.940
 have

00:34:48.940 --> 00:34:51.559
 but is

00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:51.659
 that

00:34:51.659 --> 00:34:51.860
 really

00:34:51.860 --> 00:34:52.259
 true

00:34:52.259 --> 00:34:57.719
 as

00:34:57.719 --> 00:34:57.839
 we

00:34:57.839 --> 00:34:57.980
 have

00:34:57.980 --> 00:34:58.679
 seen

00:34:58.679 --> 00:34:58.900
 from

00:34:58.900 --> 00:34:59.259
 today's

00:34:59.259 --> 00:34:59.619
 assurance

00:34:59.619 --> 00:34:59.839
 of

00:34:59.839 --> 00:35:00.159
 pardon

00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:01.339
 God's

00:35:01.339 --> 00:35:01.799
 assurance

00:35:01.799 --> 00:35:02.139
 God's

00:35:02.139 --> 00:35:02.480
 assessment

00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:03.199
 of us

00:35:03.199 --> 00:35:03.480
 today

00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:03.900
 is no

00:35:03.900 --> 00:35:04.400
 different

00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:05.019
 from

00:35:05.019 --> 00:35:05.480
 God's

00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:05.860
 assessment

00:35:05.860 --> 00:35:06.139
 of his

00:35:06.139 --> 00:35:06.440
 people

00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:06.839
 in this

00:35:06.839 --> 00:35:07.279
 passage

00:35:07.279 --> 00:35:09.380
 Romans

00:35:09.380 --> 00:35:09.820
 3

00:35:09.820 --> 00:35:10.260
 23

00:35:10.260 --> 00:35:10.559
 said

00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:10.980
 all

00:35:10.980 --> 00:35:11.400
 have

00:35:11.400 --> 00:35:12.000
 sinned

00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:12.300
 and

00:35:12.300 --> 00:35:12.599
 fall

00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:13.160
 short

00:35:13.160 --> 00:35:13.720
 of

00:35:13.720 --> 00:35:13.880
 the

00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:14.160
 glory

00:35:14.160 --> 00:35:14.320
 of

00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:14.579
 God

00:35:14.579 --> 00:35:15.460
 all

00:35:15.460 --> 00:35:15.660
 of

00:35:15.660 --> 00:35:15.940
 us

00:35:15.940 --> 00:35:16.280
 without

00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:17.160
 exception

00:35:17.160 --> 00:35:18.960
 have

00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:19.140
 been

00:35:19.140 --> 00:35:19.700
 stubbornly

00:35:19.700 --> 00:35:20.240
 rebellious

00:35:20.240 --> 00:35:20.539
 like

00:35:20.539 --> 00:35:20.920
 Israel

00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:21.119
 and

00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:21.400
 Judah

00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:22.480
 remember

00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:22.820
 what I

00:35:22.820 --> 00:35:23.059
 said

00:35:23.059 --> 00:35:23.300
 in the

00:35:23.300 --> 00:35:23.660
 introduction

00:35:23.660 --> 00:35:23.880
 we

 point

00:37:15.420 --> 00:37:15.960
 and

00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:16.159
 that's

00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:16.340
 not

00:37:16.340 --> 00:37:16.860
 surprising

00:37:16.860 --> 00:37:17.079
 and

00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:17.320
 if

00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:17.500
 we

00:37:17.500 --> 00:37:17.780
 see

00:37:17.780 --> 00:37:17.960
 the

00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:18.380
 statistics

00:37:18.380 --> 00:37:18.659
 and

00:37:18.659 --> 00:37:18.760
 we

00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:18.920
 look

00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:19.019
 at

00:37:19.019 --> 00:37:19.200
 these

00:37:19.200 --> 00:37:19.599
 employees

00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:19.760
 who

00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:19.820
 are

00:37:19.820 --> 00:37:20.119
 slacking

00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:20.460
 off

00:37:20.460 --> 00:37:21.059
 our

00:37:21.059 --> 00:37:21.559
 tendency

00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:21.880
 is to

00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:22.039
 cut

00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:22.180
 them

00:37:22.180 --> 00:37:22.380
 some

00:37:22.380 --> 00:37:22.760
 slack

00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:23.019
 right

00:37:23.019 --> 00:37:23.440
 because

00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:24.260
 hey

00:37:24.260 --> 00:37:25.420
 they have

00:37:25.420 --> 00:37:25.740
 a terrible

00:37:25.740 --> 00:37:26.039
 work

00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:26.420
 environment

00:37:26.420 --> 00:37:27.180
 and

00:37:27.180 --> 00:37:27.320
 they're

00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:27.579
 enduring

00:37:27.579 --> 00:37:27.940
 abuses

00:37:27.940 --> 00:37:28.139
 from

00:37:28.139 --> 00:37:28.280
 their

00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:28.559
 bosses

00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:28.740

00:37:29.180 --> 00:37:30.800
 but

00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:31.000
 what

00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:31.260
 if

00:37:31.260 --> 00:37:31.519
 they

00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:31.780
 didn't

00:37:31.780 --> 00:37:32.019

 they

00:37:58.700 --> 00:37:58.980
 make

00:37:58.980 --> 00:37:59.579
 mistakes

00:37:59.579 --> 00:38:00.099
 instead

00:38:00.099 --> 00:38:00.460
 they

00:38:00.460 --> 00:38:00.780
 take

00:38:00.780 --> 00:38:01.280
 responsibility

 for

 that

00:38:03.059 --> 00:38:03.220
 you

00:38:03.220 --> 00:38:03.380
 can

00:38:03.380 --> 00:38:03.539
 be

00:38:03.539 --> 00:38:03.920
 spared

00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:04.099
 the

00:38:04.099 --> 00:38:04.500
 punishment

00:38:04.500 --> 00:38:04.760
 and

00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:05.220
 penalty

00:38:05.220 --> 00:38:06.640
 what

00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:06.779
 if

00:38:06.779 --> 00:38:06.879
 they

00:38:06.879 --> 00:38:07.099
 had

00:38:07.099 --> 00:38:07.500
 those

00:38:07.500 --> 00:38:07.879
 kinds

00:38:07.879 --> 00:38:08.019
 of

00:38:08.019 --> 00:38:08.339
 bosses

00:38:08.339 --> 00:38:08.539
 and

00:38:08.539 --> 00:38:08.699
 they

00:38:08.699 --> 00:38:09.219
 still

00:38:09.219 --> 00:38:10.079
 slacked

00:38:10.079 --> 00:38:10.440
 off

00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:10.579
 and

00:38:10.579 --> 00:38:11.000
 eventually

00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:11.519
 left

00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:11.879
 their

00:38:11.879 --> 00:38:12.299
 bosses

00:38:12.299 --> 00:38:13.339
 complaining

00:38:13.339 --> 00:38:13.739
 and

00:38:13.739 --> 00:38:14.319
 grumbling

00:38:14.319 --> 00:38:15.119
 all the

00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:15.359
 way

00:38:15.359 --> 00:38:15.619
 out

00:38:15.619 --> 00:38:15.799
 the

00:38:15.799 --> 00:38:16.099
 door

00:38:16.099 --> 00:38:18.960
 we

00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:19.199
 would

00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:19.400
 be

00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:19.900
 right

00:38:19.900 --> 00:38:20.299
 to

00:38:20.299 --> 00:38:20.679
 judge

00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:20.980
 them

00:38:20.980 --> 00:38:22.199
 as

00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:22.879
 selfish

00:38:22.879 --> 00:38:23.819
 ingrates

00:38:23.819 --> 00:38:24.139
 who

00:38:24.139 --> 00:38:24.319
 should

00:38:24.319 --> 00:38:24.420
 have

00:38:24.420 --> 00:38:24.599
 been

00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:25.000
 fired

00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:25.379
 long

00:38:25.379 --> 00:38:25.739
 before

00:38:25.739 --> 00:38:25.960
 they

00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:26.299
 quit

00:38:26.299 --> 00:38:30.179
 that's

00:38:30.179 --> 00:38:30.299
 what

00:38:30.299 --> 00:38:30.500
 we

00:38:30.500 --> 00:38:30.779
 all

00:38:30.779 --> 00:38:30.980
 have

00:38:30.980 --> 00:38:31.299
 done

00:38:31.299 --> 00:38:33.619
 God

00:38:33.619 --> 00:38:34.099
 created

00:38:34.099 --> 00:38:34.400
 a

00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:34.819
 paradise

00:38:34.819 --> 00:38:35.319
 for us

00:38:35.319 --> 00:38:35.440
 to

00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:35.659
 dwell

00:38:35.659 --> 00:38:35.879
 in

00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:36.539
 with

00:38:36.539 --> 00:38:36.680
 the

00:38:36.680 --> 00:38:37.059
 world

00:38:37.059 --> 00:38:37.300
 of

00:38:37.300 --> 00:38:37.880
 joys

00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:38.360
 and

00:38:38.360 --> 00:38:38.940
 pleasures

00:38:38.940 --> 00:38:39.400
 to

00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:39.900
 lawfully

00:38:39.900 --> 00:38:40.360
 enjoy

00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:41.300
 yet

00:38:41.300 --> 00:38:41.579
 by

00:38:41.579 --> 00:38:42.260
 abusing

00:38:42.260 --> 00:38:42.720
 this

00:38:42.720 --> 00:38:43.119
 created

00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:43.599
 order

00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:44.079
 and

00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:44.960
 transgressing

00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:45.140
 the

00:38:45.140 --> 00:38:45.519
 boundaries

00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:45.760
 that

00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:45.980
 God

00:38:45.980 --> 00:38:46.360
 set

00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:46.599
 for

00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:46.840
 us

00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:47.180
 we

00:38:47.180 --> 00:38:47.700
 accuse

00:38:47.700 --> 00:38:48.119
 God

00:38:48.119 --> 00:38:48.300
 of

00:38:48.300 --> 00:38:48.599
 being

00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:49.200
 stingy

00:38:49.200 --> 00:38:49.360
 and

00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:49.940
 ungenerous

00:38:49.940 --> 00:38:50.160
 toward

00:38:50.160 --> 00:38:50.500
 us

00:38:50.500 --> 00:38:52.800
 God

00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:53.000
 has

00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:53.220
 been

00:38:53.220 --> 00:38:53.380
 a

00:38:53.380 --> 00:38:53.920
 benevolent

00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:54.200
 ruler

00:38:54.200 --> 00:38:54.460
 over

00:38:54.460 --> 00:38:54.920
 us

00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:56.340
 leading

00:38:56.340 --> 00:38:56.519
 us

00:38:56.519 --> 00:38:56.700
 with

00:38:56.700 --> 00:38:57.260
 wisdom

00:38:57.260 --> 00:38:57.840
 and

00:38:57.840 --> 00:38:58.579
 selfless

00:38:58.579 --> 00:38:59.019
 love

00:38:59.019 --> 00:38:59.380
 yet

00:38:59.380 --> 00:38:59.539
 we

00:38:59.539 --> 00:39:00.200
 begrudge

00:39:00.200 --> 00:39:00.440
 his

00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:01.019
 authority

00:39:01.019 --> 00:39:01.640
 and

00:39:01.640 --> 00:39:01.960
 seek

00:41:06.220 --> 00:41:06.780
 God's

00:41:06.780 --> 00:41:07.500
 described

00:41:07.500 --> 00:41:08.180
 as a

 he's

00:41:11.719 --> 00:41:11.959
 also

00:41:11.959 --> 00:41:12.119
 the

00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:12.399
 one

00:41:12.399 --> 00:41:12.619
 who

00:41:12.619 --> 00:41:13.219
 dwells

00:41:13.219 --> 00:41:13.319
 in

00:41:18.339 --> 00:41:18.559
 God

00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:18.719
 is

 so

 contrast

 those

00:41:24.659 --> 00:41:24.939
 images

00:41:24.939 --> 00:41:25.139
 of

00:41:25.139 --> 00:41:25.419
 God

00:41:25.419 --> 00:41:25.739
 to

00:41:25.739 --> 00:41:25.919

00:41:26.859 --> 00:41:28.000
 Jesus

00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:28.639
 describes

00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:28.939
 hell

00:41:28.939 --> 00:41:29.719
 simultaneously

00:41:32.399 --> 00:41:32.759

00:41:36.439 --> 00:41:36.759
 right

00:41:36.759 --> 00:41:38.439
 obviously

00:41:38.439 --> 00:41:38.759
 those

00:41:38.759 --> 00:41:38.980
 two

00:41:38.980 --> 00:41:39.480
 things

00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:39.980
 cannot

00:41:39.980 --> 00:41:40.399
 be

00:41:40.399 --> 00:41:40.779
 literally

00:41:40.779 --> 00:41:41.119
 true

00:41:41.119 --> 00:41:41.419
 both

00:41:41.419 --> 00:41:41.519
 of

00:41:41.719 --> 00:41:42.000
 because

00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:42.819
 either

00:41:42.819 --> 00:41:43.039
 you're

00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:43.139
 going

00:41:43.139 --> 00:41:43.219
 to

00:41:43.219 --> 00:41:43.519
 have

00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:43.819
 hot

00:41:43.819 --> 00:41:44.159
 fire

00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:44.519
 or

00:41:44.519 --> 00:41:44.759
 you're

00:41:44.759 --> 00:41:44.859
 going

00:41:44.859 --> 00:41:44.939
 to

00:41:44.939 --> 00:41:45.279
 have

00:41:45.279 --> 00:41:46.000
 darkness

00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:46.179
 you

00:41:46.179 --> 00:41:46.379
 can't

00:41:46.379 --> 00:41:46.519
 have

00:41:46.519 --> 00:41:46.779
 both

00:41:46.779 --> 00:41:47.039
 because

00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:47.259
 if

00:41:47.259 --> 00:41:47.699
 there's

00:41:47.699 --> 00:41:47.939
 fire

00:41:47.939 --> 00:41:48.199
 there's

00:41:48.199 --> 00:41:48.439
 light

00:41:48.439 --> 00:41:48.639
 it's

00:41:48.639 --> 00:41:48.779
 not

00:41:48.779 --> 00:41:49.139
 dark

00:41:49.139 --> 00:41:50.139
 so

00:41:50.139 --> 00:41:50.379
 these

00:41:50.379 --> 00:41:50.659
 two

00:41:50.659 --> 00:41:50.879
 are

00:41:50.879 --> 00:41:51.219
 not

00:41:51.219 --> 00:41:51.779
 intended

00:41:51.779 --> 00:41:52.099
 to be

00:41:52.099 --> 00:41:52.459
 literal

00:41:52.459 --> 00:41:53.439
 explanations

00:41:53.439 --> 00:41:53.899
 rather

00:41:53.899 --> 00:41:54.259
 they

00:41:54.259 --> 00:41:56.019
 describe

00:41:56.019 --> 00:41:56.659
 really

00:41:56.659 --> 00:41:56.899
 hell

00:41:56.899 --> 00:41:57.099
 in

00:41:57.099 --> 00:41:57.679
 metaphorical

00:41:57.679 --> 00:41:58.000
 ways

00:41:58.000 --> 00:41:58.919
 so

00:41:58.919 --> 00:41:59.739
 I

00:41:59.739 --> 00:41:59.959
 think

00:41:59.959 --> 00:42:00.219
 the

00:42:00.219 --> 00:42:00.519
 punishment

00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:00.719
 will

00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:00.859
 be

00:42:00.859 --> 00:42:01.079
 far

00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:01.419
 worse

00:42:01.419 --> 00:42:01.659
 than

00:42:01.659 --> 00:42:01.959
 burning

00:42:01.959 --> 00:42:02.159
 in

00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:02.399
 fire

00:42:02.399 --> 00:42:02.759
 forever

00:42:02.759 --> 00:42:03.459
 because

00:42:03.459 --> 00:42:03.859
 being

00:42:03.859 --> 00:42:04.319
 separated

00:42:04.319 --> 00:42:04.439
 from

00:42:04.439 --> 00:42:04.559
 the

00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:04.759
 presence

00:42:04.759 --> 00:42:04.919
 of

00:42:04.919 --> 00:42:05.039
 God

00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:05.179
 is

00:42:05.179 --> 00:42:05.399
 far

00:42:05.399 --> 00:42:05.579
 more

00:42:05.579 --> 00:42:05.879
 severe

00:42:05.879 --> 00:42:06.059
 than

00:42:06.059 --> 00:42:06.259
 that

00:42:06.259 --> 00:42:06.799
 I'm

00:42:06.799 --> 00:42:06.940
 not

00:42:06.940 --> 00:42:07.139
 trying

00:42:07.139 --> 00:42:07.340
 to

00:42:07.340 --> 00:42:07.860
 downplay

00:42:07.860 --> 00:42:08.099
 hell

00:42:08.099 --> 00:42:08.360
 hell

00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:08.460
 is

00:42:08.460 --> 00:42:08.559
 going

00:42:08.559 --> 00:42:08.599
 to

00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:08.719
 be

00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:08.960
 worse

00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:09.139
 than

00:42:09.139 --> 00:42:09.259
 you

00:42:09.259 --> 00:42:09.380
 can

00:42:09.380 --> 00:42:09.779
 imagine

00:42:09.779 --> 00:42:10.840
 but

00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:11.380
 the

00:42:11.380 --> 00:42:12.119
 Christian

00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:12.619
 philosopher

00:42:12.619 --> 00:42:12.920
 Henry

00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:13.380
 Staub

00:42:13.380 --> 00:42:14.219
 explains

00:42:14.219 --> 00:42:14.420
 it

00:42:14.420 --> 00:42:14.639
 this

00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:14.900
 way

00:42:14.900 --> 00:42:15.440
 he

00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:15.619
 says

00:42:15.619 --> 00:42:15.900
 hell

00:42:15.900 --> 00:42:16.059
 in

00:42:16.059 --> 00:42:16.179
 the

00:42:16.179 --> 00:42:16.460
 Bible

00:42:16.460 --> 00:42:16.659
 is

00:42:16.659 --> 00:42:16.900
 very

00:42:16.900 --> 00:42:17.239
 hot

00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:17.360
 or

00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:17.579
 very

00:42:17.579 --> 00:42:17.940
 cold

00:42:17.940 --> 00:42:18.679
 depending

00:42:18.679 --> 00:42:18.880
 on

00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:19.059
 whether

00:42:19.059 --> 00:42:19.259
 the

00:42:19.259 --> 00:42:19.460
 sinner

00:42:19.460 --> 00:42:19.619
 is

00:42:19.619 --> 00:42:20.000
 perceived

00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:20.239
 as

00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:20.380
 a

00:42:20.380 --> 00:42:20.639
 rebel

00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:20.920
 or

 who

00:42:23.460 --> 00:42:23.820
 climb

00:42:23.820 --> 00:42:24.019
 the

00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:50.940
 hell

00:42:50.940 --> 00:42:51.279

 either

00:42:56.519 --> 00:42:57.019
 rebellion

 the

 the

00:43:04.340 --> 00:43:06.780

00:43:06.780 --> 00:43:07.760
 therefore

00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:08.080

00:43:08.080 --> 00:43:08.260
 the

 fitting

00:43:08.620 --> 00:43:09.160
 punishment

00:43:09.160 --> 00:43:10.080

00:43:10.080 --> 00:43:10.420
 those

00:43:11.740 --> 00:43:12.120
 God

00:43:12.120 --> 00:43:13.880
 so

00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:14.400
 what

00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:14.980
 then

00:43:14.980 --> 00:43:15.440

00:44:25.700 --> 00:44:26.400
 restrain

00:44:26.400 --> 00:44:26.660
 in

00:44:26.660 --> 00:44:27.019
 God's

00:44:27.019 --> 00:44:27.300
 judgment

00:44:27.300 --> 00:44:27.460
 of

00:44:27.460 --> 00:44:27.579
 his

00:44:27.579 --> 00:44:27.820
 people

00:44:27.820 --> 00:44:28.019
 is

00:44:28.019 --> 00:44:28.240
 later

00:44:28.240 --> 00:44:29.039
 contrasted

00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:29.220
 with

00:44:29.220 --> 00:44:29.380
 the

00:44:29.380 --> 00:44:29.720
 description

00:44:29.720 --> 00:44:29.920
 of

00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:30.079
 the

00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:31.400
 pagan

00:44:31.400 --> 00:44:32.220
 nations

00:44:32.220 --> 00:44:32.760
 of

00:44:32.760 --> 00:44:32.920
 whom

00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:33.139
 God

00:44:33.139 --> 00:44:33.380
 says

00:44:33.380 --> 00:44:33.500
 in

00:44:33.500 --> 00:44:33.840
 Jeremiah

00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:34.200
 30

00:44:34.200 --> 00:44:34.559
 11

00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:34.920
 he

00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:35.000
 will

00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:35.139
 make

00:44:35.139 --> 00:44:35.280
 a

00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:35.619
 full

00:44:35.619 --> 00:44:36.059
 end

00:44:36.059 --> 00:44:37.180
 so

00:44:37.180 --> 00:44:37.639
 why

00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:38.099
 does

00:44:38.099 --> 00:44:38.340
 God

00:44:38.340 --> 00:44:39.019
 restrain

00:44:39.019 --> 00:44:39.280
 his

00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:39.619
 judgment

00:44:39.619 --> 00:44:39.860
 over

00:44:39.860 --> 00:44:40.000
 his

00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:40.260
 people

00:44:40.260 --> 00:44:40.400
 in

00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:40.539
 this

00:44:40.539 --> 00:44:40.840
 manner

00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:41.900
 God

00:44:41.900 --> 00:44:42.139
 said

00:44:42.139 --> 00:44:42.519
 earlier

00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:42.700
 in

00:44:43.539 --> 00:44:43.820
 run

00:44:43.820 --> 00:44:44.039
 to

00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:44.220
 and

00:44:44.220 --> 00:44:44.400
 throw

00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:44.680
 through

00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:45.039
 the

00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:45.339
 streets

00:44:45.339 --> 00:44:45.779
 see

00:44:45.779 --> 00:44:45.899
 if

00:44:45.899 --> 00:44:46.099
 there's

00:44:46.099 --> 00:44:46.419
 one

00:44:46.419 --> 00:44:46.699
 man

00:44:46.699 --> 00:44:46.859
 that

00:44:46.859 --> 00:44:47.059
 does

00:44:47.059 --> 00:44:47.500
 justice

00:44:47.500 --> 00:44:47.739
 and

00:44:47.739 --> 00:44:47.980
 seeks

00:44:47.980 --> 00:44:48.480
 truth

00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:49.659
 and

00:44:49.659 --> 00:44:49.779
 he

00:44:49.779 --> 00:44:50.239
 promised

00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:50.379
 that

00:44:50.379 --> 00:44:50.500
 if

00:44:50.500 --> 00:44:50.619
 we

00:44:50.619 --> 00:44:51.239
 find

00:44:51.239 --> 00:44:51.599
 one

00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:51.899
 man

00:44:51.899 --> 00:44:52.059
 that

00:44:52.059 --> 00:44:52.199
 he

00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:52.379
 would

00:44:52.379 --> 00:44:52.779
 spare

00:44:52.779 --> 00:44:53.000
 the

 whole

00:44:53.219 --> 00:44:53.559

 Israel

00:44:54.940 --> 00:44:56.159

00:44:56.159 --> 00:44:56.279
 the

00:44:56.279 --> 00:44:56.519
 reason

00:44:56.519 --> 00:44:56.739
 why

00:44:56.739 --> 00:44:56.960
 God

00:44:56.960 --> 00:44:57.619
 withholds

00:44:57.799 --> 00:44:58.199
 judgment

00:44:58.199 --> 00:44:58.399
 is

00:44:58.399 --> 00:44:58.619
 because

00:44:58.619 --> 00:44:58.799
 he

00:44:58.799 --> 00:44:59.159
 knows

00:44:59.159 --> 00:44:59.539
 that

00:45:01.019 --> 00:45:01.559
 spared

00:45:01.559 --> 00:45:02.159
 among

00:45:02.159 --> 00:45:02.419
 his

00:45:02.419 --> 00:45:02.859
 people

00:45:02.859 --> 00:45:03.839
 from

00:45:03.839 --> 00:45:04.099

 rise

00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:07.419
 up

00:45:07.899 --> 00:45:09.039
 who

00:46:18.920 --> 00:46:19.380
 by his

00:46:19.380 --> 00:46:19.699
 blood

00:46:19.699 --> 00:46:20.239
 to be

00:46:20.239 --> 00:46:20.659
 received

00:46:20.659 --> 00:46:21.519
 by faith

00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:22.719
 this

00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:23.500
 was to

00:46:23.500 --> 00:46:23.699
 show

00:46:23.699 --> 00:46:24.039
 God's

00:46:24.039 --> 00:46:24.460
 righteousness

00:46:24.460 --> 00:46:25.659
 because

00:46:25.659 --> 00:46:25.940
 in his

00:46:25.940 --> 00:46:26.239
 divine

00:46:26.239 --> 00:46:26.819
 forbearance

00:46:26.819 --> 00:46:27.079
 he had

00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:27.460
 passed

00:46:27.460 --> 00:46:27.779
 over

00:46:27.779 --> 00:46:28.239
 former

00:46:28.239 --> 00:46:28.759
 sins

00:46:28.759 --> 00:46:29.960
 how can

00:46:29.960 --> 00:46:30.360
 God

00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:30.779
 pass

00:46:30.779 --> 00:46:31.159
 over

00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:31.779
 the

00:46:31.779 --> 00:46:32.019
 sins

00:46:32.019 --> 00:46:32.279
 of his

00:46:32.279 --> 00:46:32.619
 people

00:46:32.619 --> 00:46:33.460
 not

00:46:33.460 --> 00:46:33.860
 destroy

00:46:33.860 --> 00:46:34.039
 them

00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:34.199
 in

00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:34.380
 full

00:46:34.380 --> 00:46:34.679
 because

00:46:34.679 --> 00:46:34.920
 he's

00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:35.119
 looking

00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:35.319
 to

00:46:35.319 --> 00:46:35.699
 Christ

00:46:35.699 --> 00:46:35.880
 who

00:46:35.880 --> 00:46:36.019
 will

00:46:36.019 --> 00:46:36.279
 come

00:46:36.279 --> 00:46:37.299
 and

00:46:37.299 --> 00:46:37.420
 who

00:46:37.420 --> 00:46:37.619
 will

00:46:37.619 --> 00:46:37.980
 bear

00:46:37.980 --> 00:46:38.519
 the

00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:39.059
 full

00:46:39.059 --> 00:46:39.719
 wrath

00:46:39.719 --> 00:46:39.980
 of

00:46:39.980 --> 00:46:40.299
 God

00:46:40.299 --> 00:46:40.679
 in

00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:41.079
 himself

00:46:41.079 --> 00:46:41.380
 on

00:46:41.380 --> 00:46:41.519
 the

00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:41.940
 cross

00:46:41.940 --> 00:46:46.019
 and

00:46:46.019 --> 00:46:46.139
 you

00:46:46.139 --> 00:46:46.559
 receive

00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:46.780
 that

00:46:46.780 --> 00:46:47.260
 salvation

00:46:47.260 --> 00:46:48.619
 by

00:46:48.619 --> 00:46:49.200
 receiving

00:46:49.200 --> 00:46:49.900
 Jesus

00:46:49.900 --> 00:46:50.500
 by

00:46:50.500 --> 00:46:51.519
 faith

00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:54.639
 whether

00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:55.139
 you are

00:46:55.139 --> 00:46:55.780
 not

00:46:55.780 --> 00:46:56.700
 a believer

00:46:56.700 --> 00:46:56.960
 yet

00:46:56.960 --> 00:46:57.300
 or whether

00:46:57.300 --> 00:46:57.480
 you're

00:46:57.480 --> 00:46:57.659
 already

00:46:57.659 --> 00:46:57.960
 a follower

00:46:57.960 --> 00:46:58.099
 of

00:46:58.099 --> 00:46:58.340
 Christ

00:46:58.340 --> 00:46:58.599
 this

00:46:58.599 --> 00:46:58.720
 is

00:46:58.720 --> 00:46:58.940
 my

00:46:58.940 --> 00:46:59.340
 closing

00:46:59.340 --> 00:47:00.000
 exhortation

00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:00.179
 to

00:47:00.179 --> 00:47:00.460
 you

00:47:00.460 --> 00:47:01.820
 don't

00:47:01.820 --> 00:47:02.280
 forget

00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:03.260
 your

00:47:03.260 --> 00:47:03.720
 plight

00:47:03.720 --> 00:47:04.800
 that

00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:04.980
 you're

00:47:04.980 --> 00:47:05.240
 under

00:47:05.240 --> 00:47:05.780
 judgment

00:47:05.780 --> 00:47:08.720
 that

00:47:08.720 --> 00:47:08.880
 your

00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:09.320
 case

00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:09.519
 is

00:47:09.519 --> 00:47:10.000
 hopeless

00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:10.680
 apart

00:47:10.680 --> 00:47:10.880
 from

00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:11.300
 Christ

00:47:11.300 --> 00:47:12.380
 and

00:47:12.380 --> 00:47:12.620
 don't

00:47:12.620 --> 00:47:12.800
 for

00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:12.960
 a

00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:13.280
 moment

00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:13.500
 for

00:47:13.500 --> 00:47:13.660
 those

00:47:13.660 --> 00:47:13.760
 of

00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:13.860
 you

00:47:13.860 --> 00:47:14.060
 already

00:47:14.060 --> 00:47:14.220
 have

00:47:14.220 --> 00:47:14.340
 put

00:47:14.340 --> 00:47:14.480
 your

00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:14.700
 faith

00:47:14.700 --> 00:47:14.820
 in

00:47:14.820 --> 00:47:15.080
 Christ

00:47:15.080 --> 00:47:15.560
 think

00:47:15.560 --> 00:47:15.720
 that

00:47:15.720 --> 00:47:15.840
 you

00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:16.040
 can

00:47:16.040 --> 00:47:16.440
 now

00:47:16.440 --> 00:47:17.160
 stand

00:47:17.160 --> 00:47:19.440
 on

00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:19.580
 your

00:47:19.580 --> 00:47:19.920
 own

00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:21.340
 persevere

 in

00:47:21.460 --> 00:47:21.560
 your

00:47:21.560 --> 00:47:21.760
 own

00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:22.420
 strength

00:47:22.420 --> 00:47:24.100
 no

00:47:24.100 --> 00:47:24.380
 you'll

00:47:24.380 --> 00:47:24.600
 keep

00:47:24.600 --> 00:47:25.080
 falling

00:47:25.080 --> 00:47:25.560
 on

00:47:25.560 --> 00:47:25.700
 your

00:47:25.700 --> 00:47:26.120
 face

00:47:26.120 --> 00:47:27.519
 let

00:47:27.519 --> 00:47:27.980

00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:31.280
 be

00:47:31.280 --> 00:47:31.660
 strong

00:47:31.660 --> 00:47:31.880
 for

00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:32.160
 you

00:47:32.160 --> 00:47:33.519
 let

00:47:33.519 --> 00:47:34.040

00:47:34.720 --> 00:47:35.120
 for

00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:35.400
 you

00:47:35.400 --> 00:47:35.779
 and

00:47:35.779 --> 00:47:35.920
 you

00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:36.099
 will

00:47:36.099 --> 00:47:36.579
 find

00:47:36.579 --> 00:47:37.000
 that

00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:37.159
 he

00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:37.380
 is

00:47:37.380 --> 00:47:37.539
 a

00:47:37.539 --> 00:47:37.880
 mighty

00:47:44.819 --> 00:47:45.599
 and

00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:45.719
 we'll

00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:46.119

00:47:46.119 --> 00:47:46.339
 by

00:47:46.339 --> 00:47:46.679
