WEBVTT

00:00:00.500 --> 00:00:09.679
 Father, this is your word. Jesus is our Savior, and we are your people.

00:00:10.700 --> 00:00:16.339
 And we ask that you would pour out your Holy Spirit upon your people

00:00:16.339 --> 00:00:22.519
 so that we would not only understand your word, but that it would change how we live.

00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.820
 We ask that you would help us and teach us how to pray.

00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:32.700
 We ask that you would help us and teach us to long to see your face,

00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:38.140
 that you would help us to deny ourselves and pick up our cross and follow Jesus,

00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:42.840
 even when sometimes that's very hard, although carrying a cross is always hard.

00:00:43.539 --> 00:00:48.519
 We give you thanks and praise that your Son said that his yoke is easy and his burden is light.

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.579
 We ask, Father, that your Holy Spirit would move and work within us

00:00:53.579 --> 00:00:57.299
 so that your Holy Spirit would have a deeper place in our lives.

00:00:57.739 --> 00:01:06.120
 Father, we ask that you would do a great work, a work of your work in our lives this morning

00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:08.219
 as we gather in the presence of Jesus.

00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.620
 And this we ask in Jesus' name, your Son and our Savior. Amen.

00:01:13.219 --> 00:01:14.099
 Please be seated.

00:01:14.099 --> 00:01:23.579
 So, Revelation 13.

00:01:26.419 --> 00:01:30.179
 You know, I don't like horror movies in general.

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.579
 In fact, I rarely watch horror movies.

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.500
 I remember even when I was watching The Sixth Sense,

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.139
 I watched it because I didn't think it was a horror movie for some reason.

00:01:40.140 --> 00:01:43.239
 And about a quarter of the way into the movie,

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.519
 I was watching it with a couple of my older kids at the time.

00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:50.519
 I thought, if I was watching this movie by myself, I would turn it off right now and leave.

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:55.200
 But then I thought, I do not want to appear a wuss in front of my teenage sons.

00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:57.640
 So, I continued to watch the movie.

00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:02.500
 Having said all that, I actually do enjoy the television series, The Walking Dead.

00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.099
 And when I tell you that I enjoy certain things,

00:02:06.099 --> 00:02:09.699
 this is not a recommendation that you necessarily go out and watch it.

00:02:10.139 --> 00:02:14.879
 Because some of you might not like zombie television series.

00:02:15.359 --> 00:02:18.759
 But I actually, I am going to talk about zombies later on in the service,

00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.239
 for those of you who understand such things.

00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:26.219
 But having said all that, one of the interesting things about horror movies, etc.,

00:02:26.219 --> 00:02:30.319
 and in our culture, is that while there's a whole range of things in our culture,

00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.439
 that there's many, many people in our culture who are fairly illiterate in terms of the Bible.

00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:35.679
 And that's, you know, fair enough.

00:02:35.779 --> 00:02:36.859
 They haven't been raised as Christians.

00:02:36.939 --> 00:02:38.419
 Why would they know what Christianity is?

00:02:38.419 --> 00:02:42.099
 But in fact, the idea of the beast and the number 666,

00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:46.500
 there are many, many, many people who would have understood that.

00:02:46.619 --> 00:02:50.239
 If you were to go by, probably just stand at the corner of King Edward and Rideau,

00:02:50.299 --> 00:02:54.719
 and ask people, are you familiar with the idea of 666 and the beast and the number of the beast?

00:02:55.359 --> 00:03:00.299
 Like, I wouldn't be surprised if 80, 90, 95% of the people said they had heard of such things.

00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:07.600
 So it's actually sort of interesting that today we get to look at the original source of these ideas.

00:03:08.219 --> 00:03:15.260
 And so it would be a great help to me if you actually, yeah, let's turn in the Bible,

00:03:15.939 --> 00:03:23.080
 and let's look at this great source of these very, very familiar ideas.

00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:24.300
 And it's a book of Revelation.

00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:25.840
 It's the last book in the Bible.

00:03:26.540 --> 00:03:28.400
 And it's Revelation chapter 13.

00:03:28.600 --> 00:03:33.160
 And actually, we're going to start reading, like, the very last sentence of the chapter before this.

00:03:35.180 --> 00:03:37.980
 And the chapter before, it talks about the dragon.

00:03:38.260 --> 00:03:42.200
 And the dragon is sort of an image of the devil.

00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.239
 And here's how the text begins.

00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:46.539
 And it goes like this.

00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.280
 Revelation, the very last bit of chapter 12, and then into the chapter 13.

00:03:52.099 --> 00:03:55.560
 And the dragon stood on the sand of the sea.

00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.679
 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea.

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:06.219
 And by the way, the implication of the text is that the dragon is calling the beast out of the sea.

00:04:06.219 --> 00:04:08.219
 In the original language, that's the implication.

00:04:09.019 --> 00:04:11.719
 So the dragon stands on the sand of the sea looking out.

00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:22.519
 And then John, who's having this vision, he sees a beast rising out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads,

00:04:22.699 --> 00:04:28.539
 with ten diadems on its horns and a name of blasphemy on its heads.

00:04:29.300 --> 00:04:31.899
 And the beast that I saw was like a leopard.

00:04:31.899 --> 00:04:33.899
 Its feet were like a bear's.

00:04:34.699 --> 00:04:36.860
 And its mouth was like a lion's mouth.

00:04:36.860 --> 00:04:44.020
 And to it, the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority.

00:04:45.060 --> 00:04:48.879
 One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound.

00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.800
 In the original language, it means a death wound.

00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.480
 But its death wound was healed.

00:04:55.480 --> 00:05:00.100
 And the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast.

00:05:00.939 --> 00:05:05.720
 And they worshipped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast.

00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.220
 And they worshipped the beast, saying,

00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.060
 Who is like the beast and who can fight against it?

00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:18.920
 Now, I'm going to say some shocking things about this text.

00:05:19.540 --> 00:05:22.339
 But I want to make sure you understand what I'm saying.

00:05:23.060 --> 00:05:26.240
 And so I'm going to repeat, and Andrew's going to put it on the screen.

00:05:26.280 --> 00:05:28.620
 I'm going to repeat some things that I said last week,

00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.899
 just to sort of set the stage for what I'm saying.

00:05:31.899 --> 00:05:35.179
 And by the way, today, for all of the things that are on the screen,

00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:37.679
 I think by Monday or Tuesday, if you're interested,

00:05:37.819 --> 00:05:40.479
 you can go on our webpage and you can write them down.

00:05:40.919 --> 00:05:43.779
 This first part, it'll be far too quick for you to write down.

00:05:43.859 --> 00:05:44.979
 But here's the first thing.

00:05:45.039 --> 00:05:47.000
 Before I say all of the other things about the text,

00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:48.620
 the shocking thing about the text,

00:05:48.679 --> 00:05:51.379
 to understand the shocking claim of the text,

00:05:51.719 --> 00:05:53.259
 you have to understand this.

00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.179
 The Bible teaches that the devil is real.

00:05:57.139 --> 00:05:58.259
 He is our enemy.

00:05:58.779 --> 00:05:59.719
 He is alive.

00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:01.240
 He is active.

00:06:01.820 --> 00:06:02.960
 He is doomed.

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:05.800
 And in the face of his opposition,

00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:08.800
 we, that means followers of the Lamb,

00:06:09.420 --> 00:06:12.880
 are to testify with our lips and with our lives

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:16.140
 of our Savior, Jesus Christ crucified.

00:06:18.380 --> 00:06:20.460
 That's what we have to understand,

00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.720
 that the Bible is saying that the devil is real,

00:06:24.820 --> 00:06:26.620
 just as real as I am or you are.

00:06:26.620 --> 00:06:29.060
 And to sort of emphasize this,

00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:30.759
 this is also what I said last week,

00:06:30.819 --> 00:06:34.639
 which we need to understand if we're to hear Revelation 13,

00:06:34.840 --> 00:06:36.139
 as it's meant to be heard.

00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.740
 After you hear it, you might say this is all rubbish or whatever,

00:06:39.860 --> 00:06:41.680
 but at least you need to hear what it's saying,

00:06:41.780 --> 00:06:43.420
 what the Bible is claiming to say.

00:06:43.899 --> 00:06:45.079
 The devil is real.

00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.680
 He is not a metaphor,

00:06:48.620 --> 00:06:49.339
 an analogy,

00:06:49.919 --> 00:06:50.560
 a symbol,

00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:51.779
 a process,

00:06:52.219 --> 00:06:52.719
 a myth,

00:06:53.339 --> 00:06:55.039
 a mere storybook character,

00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.079
 or a social construct.

00:06:57.800 --> 00:06:59.659
 He is not a primitive way

00:06:59.659 --> 00:07:02.799
 to talk of mental illness or evil.

00:07:03.539 --> 00:07:04.879
 He is not a tool

00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.379
 of politicians to label others

00:07:07.379 --> 00:07:08.620
 or enemies,

00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:10.519
 although some politicians

00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.139
 try to make it out as if he's a tool,

00:07:13.139 --> 00:07:14.419
 but he is not a tool.

00:07:14.599 --> 00:07:16.339
 He is not a creation of politicians

00:07:16.339 --> 00:07:18.019
 or cultural leaders

00:07:18.019 --> 00:07:19.219
 to label others.

00:07:19.779 --> 00:07:21.959
 The devil is not misunderstood.

00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:23.879
 He is not a hero.

00:07:24.300 --> 00:07:25.439
 He is not a rebel.

00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:27.240
 He is not a freedom fighter.

00:07:27.699 --> 00:07:28.659
 He is not hip.

00:07:29.060 --> 00:07:30.000
 He is not cool.

00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:31.379
 He is not enlightened.

00:07:32.139 --> 00:07:34.899
 He is not yin or yang to God.

00:07:35.620 --> 00:07:37.139
 He is not the antithesis

00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:39.560
 leading to a new synthesis.

00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.620
 He is not energy,

00:07:42.019 --> 00:07:42.540
 friend,

00:07:42.980 --> 00:07:43.480
 ally,

00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:44.360
 means,

00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:45.100
 tool,

00:07:45.300 --> 00:07:45.980
 or joke.

00:07:46.860 --> 00:07:48.000
 In ourselves,

00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:49.740
 he is more powerful

00:07:49.740 --> 00:07:50.699
 than we are.

00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:52.600
 The devil is real.

00:07:53.259 --> 00:07:54.199
 He is our enemy.

00:07:54.379 --> 00:07:54.939
 He is alive.

00:07:55.060 --> 00:07:55.600
 He is active.

00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:56.199
 He is doomed.

00:07:56.579 --> 00:07:58.060
 And in the face of his opposition,

00:07:58.420 --> 00:07:59.340
 we are to testify

00:07:59.340 --> 00:08:00.079
 with our lips

00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:00.899
 and with our lives

00:08:00.899 --> 00:08:02.040
 of our Savior,

00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:02.899
 Jesus Christ,

00:08:03.420 --> 00:08:03.879
 crucified.

00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:06.240
 As I said last week,

00:08:06.459 --> 00:08:08.040
 if the devil does not exist,

00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:09.180
 if the devil, in fact,

00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:10.120
 is merely a metaphor

00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:11.000
 or analogy

00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:11.660
 or a symbol

00:08:11.660 --> 00:08:12.879
 or a social construct

00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:14.720
 or something like that,

00:08:15.379 --> 00:08:16.220
 then it's a complete

00:08:16.220 --> 00:08:17.200
 and utter waste of time

00:08:17.200 --> 00:08:18.280
 to read the book of Revelation.

00:08:18.460 --> 00:08:19.040
 I'd say it's probably

00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:19.640
 a waste of time

00:08:19.640 --> 00:08:20.300
 to read the Bible.

00:08:21.060 --> 00:08:24.000
 And it's just a waste of time

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:24.920
 to even talk about it.

00:08:25.220 --> 00:08:26.920
 But if the devil does exist,

00:08:27.580 --> 00:08:29.060
 then today's teaching,

00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:30.700
 just like last week's,

00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.279
 is immensely practical.

00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:35.560
 So here's the thing.

00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:36.299
 Remember I said

00:08:36.299 --> 00:08:37.379
 that the text has,

00:08:37.719 --> 00:08:38.619
 the book of Revelation

00:08:38.619 --> 00:08:40.639
 is a wonderful book

00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:41.559
 for those of us

00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:44.219
 who have very, very great visual,

00:08:44.939 --> 00:08:46.919
 our minds just love images.

00:08:47.219 --> 00:08:48.199
 And so it presents

00:08:48.199 --> 00:08:49.899
 this very, very powerful image

00:08:49.899 --> 00:08:51.819
 of the devil like a dragon,

00:08:51.939 --> 00:08:52.659
 a huge dragon.

00:08:52.819 --> 00:08:53.699
 Think of smog,

00:08:54.019 --> 00:08:55.119
 only with many heads.

00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.079
 And even far more horrible.

00:08:58.599 --> 00:09:01.559
 And he stands on the sand of the sea,

00:09:01.659 --> 00:09:02.599
 looking out to the sea.

00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:05.100
 And by, he believes his power,

00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:06.759
 he causes a beast

00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:08.920
 to arise out of the sea.

00:09:09.740 --> 00:09:10.480
 And if you'll notice

00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:11.320
 very early on,

00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:12.800
 it says that he has,

00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:13.860
 was like a leopard,

00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:14.500
 verse two,

00:09:14.940 --> 00:09:16.120
 its feet were like a bear's

00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:16.580
 and its mouth

00:09:16.580 --> 00:09:17.680
 was like a lion's mouth.

00:09:18.180 --> 00:09:19.600
 And the dragon gave his power

00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:20.139
 and his throne

00:09:20.139 --> 00:09:20.840
 and great authority

00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:21.440
 to the beast.

00:09:21.659 --> 00:09:23.420
 And that imagery

00:09:23.420 --> 00:09:24.920
 comes from the book of Daniel.

00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:26.680
 And in the book of Daniel,

00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:27.700
 it's very clear

00:09:27.700 --> 00:09:28.259
 that these are

00:09:28.259 --> 00:09:29.700
 a succession of empires.

00:09:29.700 --> 00:09:29.820
 empires.

00:09:30.379 --> 00:09:31.560
 So from this

00:09:31.560 --> 00:09:32.220
 and from the rest

00:09:32.220 --> 00:09:32.820
 of the chapter,

00:09:32.920 --> 00:09:33.860
 it's very, very clear

00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:36.360
 that the beast is,

00:09:37.020 --> 00:09:38.300
 and here's where people differ,

00:09:38.400 --> 00:09:39.340
 whether it's an individual,

00:09:39.580 --> 00:09:40.960
 but if it's an individual or not,

00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:41.700
 that the thing is,

00:09:41.860 --> 00:09:44.340
 it's the government

00:09:44.340 --> 00:09:45.300
 and it's the state.

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:46.940
 It's a type of,

00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:48.120
 it's an empire.

00:09:49.259 --> 00:09:50.740
 It's not only a government,

00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:51.300
 a state,

00:09:51.379 --> 00:09:52.120
 it's the judiciary,

00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:53.000
 it's the military,

00:09:53.259 --> 00:09:54.040
 it's the police.

00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:57.699
 It's the state.

00:09:58.319 --> 00:09:59.179
 It is a government.

00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:00.740
 It is a person,

00:10:00.860 --> 00:10:01.199
 the government.

00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.539
 It's that which exercises

00:10:03.539 --> 00:10:05.299
 political and cultural authority

00:10:05.299 --> 00:10:06.500
 over nations.

00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:08.219
 That's the claim of the text.

00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:10.059
 Here's the shocking point.

00:10:10.939 --> 00:10:11.120
 Andrew,

00:10:11.179 --> 00:10:12.879
 if you could put that up,

00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:13.639
 that would be great.

00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.399
 The devil can have

00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.039
 a significant impact

00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:19.799
 on any institution,

00:10:20.620 --> 00:10:21.559
 even the state

00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:22.240
 and the government.

00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:25.460
 That's what Revelation chapter 13

00:10:25.460 --> 00:10:26.000
 is saying,

00:10:26.899 --> 00:10:28.000
 that the devil

00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:29.600
 can have

00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.019
 a significant impact

00:10:31.019 --> 00:10:32.200
 on any institution,

00:10:32.560 --> 00:10:33.519
 even the state

00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:34.680
 and the government.

00:10:35.379 --> 00:10:35.639
 See,

00:10:35.820 --> 00:10:36.759
 I needed to say

00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:37.639
 that earlier part

00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:39.080
 because it's very common

00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:40.340
 maybe in certain types

00:10:40.340 --> 00:10:41.299
 of political discussion

00:10:41.299 --> 00:10:42.299
 or cultural discussion

00:10:42.299 --> 00:10:43.700
 about saying something's demonic

00:10:43.700 --> 00:10:45.220
 and what we mean

00:10:45.220 --> 00:10:46.139
 when we say demonic

00:10:46.139 --> 00:10:46.820
 in our culture

00:10:46.820 --> 00:10:47.379
 just means,

00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:48.759
 like rather than saying

00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:49.320
 it's bad,

00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:49.799
 we want to say

00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:50.220
 it's really,

00:10:50.299 --> 00:10:50.480
 really,

00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:50.779
 really,

00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:51.100
 really,

00:10:51.100 --> 00:10:51.379
 really,

00:10:51.379 --> 00:10:51.680
 really,

00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:52.659
 really bad

00:10:52.659 --> 00:10:53.500
 so we say

00:10:53.500 --> 00:10:54.139
 it's demonic.

00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:56.000
 But the Bible here

00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:56.779
 is making a very,

00:10:56.899 --> 00:10:57.979
 very different claim.

00:10:58.659 --> 00:11:00.019
 Not that it's not bad,

00:11:00.079 --> 00:11:00.759
 it is bad,

00:11:01.099 --> 00:11:01.979
 but that actually

00:11:01.979 --> 00:11:02.639
 the devil,

00:11:03.500 --> 00:11:04.299
 that there is,

00:11:04.500 --> 00:11:05.459
 it is possible

00:11:05.459 --> 00:11:06.179
 for the devil,

00:11:06.319 --> 00:11:06.939
 not just,

00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.139
 last week we talked

00:11:08.139 --> 00:11:09.359
 about primarily

00:11:09.359 --> 00:11:10.479
 the one major way

00:11:10.479 --> 00:11:11.159
 that most people

00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.079
 experience the devil's

00:11:13.079 --> 00:11:13.859
 sort of hand

00:11:13.859 --> 00:11:14.379
 or touch

00:11:14.379 --> 00:11:15.059
 in their lives.

00:11:15.239 --> 00:11:15.919
 And if you,

00:11:16.059 --> 00:11:16.659
 you can listen

00:11:16.659 --> 00:11:17.399
 to last week's sermon

00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:17.740
 online

00:11:17.740 --> 00:11:18.899
 and I was talking

00:11:18.899 --> 00:11:20.419
 about a great sense

00:11:20.419 --> 00:11:21.600
 of condemnation

00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:23.639
 and accusation

00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:26.159
 that can completely

00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:26.759
 and utterly,

00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:30.659
 it can have a powerful,

00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:31.340
 powerful role

00:11:31.340 --> 00:11:32.539
 in our lives,

00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:33.700
 a sense of condemnation

00:11:33.700 --> 00:11:34.419
 and accusation.

00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:36.159
 And I also warned

00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:37.220
 of the fact

00:11:37.220 --> 00:11:37.940
 that there could be

00:11:37.940 --> 00:11:39.220
 a more direct contact

00:11:39.220 --> 00:11:39.879
 with Satan

00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:41.820
 and I warned us

00:11:41.820 --> 00:11:42.779
 against Ouija boards

00:11:42.779 --> 00:11:43.500
 and other things.

00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:45.620
 But just as in our culture

00:11:45.620 --> 00:11:46.480
 we tend to think

00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:47.039
 of religion

00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:48.139
 and spirituality

00:11:48.139 --> 00:11:49.399
 as being something

00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:50.600
 inherently private

00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.740
 and sort of inside of us

00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:54.179
 and often a cross

00:11:54.179 --> 00:11:55.159
 between a hobby

00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:56.259
 and an emotion,

00:11:57.419 --> 00:11:58.700
 and so it is even maybe

00:11:58.700 --> 00:12:00.100
 when we speak of the devil

00:12:00.100 --> 00:12:01.019
 or demons,

00:12:01.220 --> 00:12:01.960
 it's easy for us

00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:02.480
 to think of it

00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:03.720
 as being merely personal.

00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:06.360
 But the Bible here

00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:07.220
 in chapter 12

00:12:07.220 --> 00:12:08.139
 and chapter 13

00:12:08.139 --> 00:12:08.740
 of Revelation

00:12:08.740 --> 00:12:09.340
 is saying that

00:12:09.340 --> 00:12:09.980
 not only

00:12:09.980 --> 00:12:11.299
 is the devil

00:12:11.299 --> 00:12:13.479
 one who we can experience

00:12:13.479 --> 00:12:14.240
 in our lives

00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:15.479
 through accusation

00:12:15.479 --> 00:12:16.439
 and condemnation

00:12:16.439 --> 00:12:18.079
 and maybe we will have

00:12:18.079 --> 00:12:19.079
 a more direct contact

00:12:19.079 --> 00:12:19.479
 with him,

00:12:19.959 --> 00:12:20.879
 the devil also

00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:22.139
 can affect

00:12:22.139 --> 00:12:23.620
 and impact

00:12:23.620 --> 00:12:25.419
 institutions.

00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:28.319
 Institutions.

00:12:30.719 --> 00:12:32.059
 Even the government

00:12:32.059 --> 00:12:33.699
 and even the state.

00:12:35.959 --> 00:12:36.599
 You know,

00:12:36.719 --> 00:12:37.479
 as I was working

00:12:37.479 --> 00:12:38.419
 on the sermon this week,

00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:39.299
 I've been reading,

00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:40.639
 I read like several books

00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:41.480
 at the same time,

00:12:41.659 --> 00:12:41.819
 you know,

00:12:41.860 --> 00:12:42.939
 bits and pieces of books

00:12:42.939 --> 00:12:43.840
 and I was reading

00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:44.220
 a little bit

00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:45.279
 about Corrie Ten Boom.

00:12:45.740 --> 00:12:46.860
 How many people here

00:12:46.860 --> 00:12:49.100
 remember who Corrie Ten Boom is

00:12:49.100 --> 00:12:50.319
 or who heard of Corrie Ten Boom?

00:12:50.419 --> 00:12:51.379
 A fair amount of you.

00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:51.639
 Okay.

00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:53.240
 On Friday,

00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:55.740
 it was the 70th anniversary

00:12:55.740 --> 00:12:56.559
 of her capture

00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:57.299
 by the Nazis.

00:12:58.720 --> 00:12:59.600
 I just happened to,

00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:00.639
 I was just reading it

00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:01.679
 and it mentioned,

00:13:01.819 --> 00:13:02.419
 I was reading a book

00:13:02.419 --> 00:13:02.879
 and it mentioned

00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:04.679
 on February 28, 1944,

00:13:05.299 --> 00:13:06.200
 that was the day

00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:07.159
 that Corrie Ten Boom

00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:08.480
 was woken from sleep

00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.259
 by a sound

00:13:11.259 --> 00:13:12.200
 of loud knocking

00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:12.680
 on their door

00:13:12.680 --> 00:13:13.700
 and it was the Gestapo.

00:13:14.580 --> 00:13:15.159
 Corrie Ten Boom

00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:16.460
 at the time was 54.

00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:18.440
 Her sister was

00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:19.539
 five years older than her.

00:13:19.620 --> 00:13:20.700
 They were both unmarried.

00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:22.220
 They lived with their father

00:13:22.220 --> 00:13:23.200
 who was in his 80s.

00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:24.120
 I think he was 83

00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:25.879
 and they had played

00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:26.740
 a central role

00:13:26.740 --> 00:13:28.220
 in hiding Jewish people

00:13:28.220 --> 00:13:28.980
 from the Nazis

00:13:28.980 --> 00:13:30.879
 and as being part

00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:31.820
 of the Dutch resistance

00:13:31.820 --> 00:13:33.460
 and that was the day

00:13:33.460 --> 00:13:33.920
 that they,

00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:36.159
 their betrayers,

00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:36.879
 betrayed them

00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:38.740
 and she,

00:13:38.899 --> 00:13:39.100
 of course,

00:13:39.179 --> 00:13:40.219
 eventually went

00:13:40.219 --> 00:13:43.439
 to a concentration camp.

00:13:43.539 --> 00:13:44.059
 Her and her sister

00:13:44.059 --> 00:13:44.539
 and her dad

00:13:44.539 --> 00:13:45.120
 and her sister

00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:45.620
 and her father

00:13:45.620 --> 00:13:46.159
 would die

00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:47.959
 in the concentration camps

00:13:47.959 --> 00:13:48.600
 and Corrie

00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:50.299
 would miraculously

00:13:50.299 --> 00:13:51.439
 survive

00:13:51.439 --> 00:13:52.139
 and be delivered

00:13:52.139 --> 00:13:52.899
 and go on

00:13:52.899 --> 00:13:53.959
 to have a speaking ministry

00:13:53.959 --> 00:13:56.179
 and for Christians

00:13:56.179 --> 00:13:57.240
 who were caught

00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:58.240
 under Nazism,

00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:00.079
 it was very easy

00:14:00.079 --> 00:14:01.159
 for them to wonder

00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:01.959
 if in fact

00:14:01.959 --> 00:14:03.039
 there was not just

00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:04.079
 something evil

00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.180
 about Nazism

00:14:05.180 --> 00:14:06.940
 but in fact

00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:07.720
 whether there was

00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.100
 something devilish

00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:10.160
 and I mean

00:14:10.160 --> 00:14:11.280
 in terms of a devil

00:14:11.280 --> 00:14:13.160
 being involved in it

00:14:13.160 --> 00:14:15.020
 and

00:14:15.020 --> 00:14:19.900
 we feel very uncomfortable

00:14:19.900 --> 00:14:21.320
 about such language

00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:22.840
 living in Canada

00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.420
 and I'm going to talk

00:14:25.420 --> 00:14:26.259
 a little bit about that

00:14:26.259 --> 00:14:27.100
 in a moment

00:14:27.100 --> 00:14:30.620
 but for some Christians

00:14:30.620 --> 00:14:31.720
 who live in some parts

00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:32.660
 of the world today

00:14:32.659 --> 00:14:34.679
 and for Christians

00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:35.600
 throughout history

00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.179
 there would be times

00:14:37.179 --> 00:14:38.719
 in certain cultures

00:14:38.719 --> 00:14:40.179
 and certain times

00:14:40.179 --> 00:14:41.500
 when it would be easy

00:14:41.500 --> 00:14:42.539
 for us to actually

00:14:42.539 --> 00:14:43.860
 take a text like this

00:14:43.860 --> 00:14:44.899
 and realize that there is

00:14:44.899 --> 00:14:46.319
 probably a great truth

00:14:46.319 --> 00:14:46.799
 in it

00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:48.360
 that we cannot

00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.299
 limit the devil's work

00:14:50.299 --> 00:14:51.959
 purely to people

00:14:51.959 --> 00:14:54.399
 but also to institutions

00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:56.000
 even the government

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:57.279
 even the state

00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:01.559
 and here's the thing

00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:02.639
 actually you know what

00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:03.279
 I'm going to have

00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:03.839
 a little bit of a

00:15:03.839 --> 00:15:05.220
 okay I know there's

00:15:05.220 --> 00:15:06.539
 always in any room

00:15:06.539 --> 00:15:07.000
 this side

00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:08.339
 there's a few grammar geeks

00:15:08.339 --> 00:15:09.299
 we're going to have

00:15:09.299 --> 00:15:10.740
 a grammar geek moment

00:15:10.740 --> 00:15:11.220
 okay

00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:13.419
 so for you grammar geeks

00:15:13.419 --> 00:15:14.100
 and the rest of you

00:15:14.100 --> 00:15:14.759
 can listen in

00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:15.659
 you want to just sort of

00:15:15.659 --> 00:15:17.759
 go ahead to verse 7 and 8

00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:19.439
 and look at verse 7 and 8

00:15:19.439 --> 00:15:20.699
 there's a grammar geek moment

00:15:20.699 --> 00:15:21.720
 coming here in a second

00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:23.360
 also it was allowed

00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:24.019
 that's the beast

00:15:24.019 --> 00:15:25.100
 to make war on the saints

00:15:25.100 --> 00:15:25.959
 and to conquer them

00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:27.120
 and authority was given it

00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:28.220
 over every tribe

00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:29.120
 and people and language

00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:29.660
 and nation

00:15:29.660 --> 00:15:31.840
 and all who dwell on earth

00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:32.920
 will worship it

00:15:32.920 --> 00:15:34.000
 everyone whose name

00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:34.740
 has not been written

00:15:34.740 --> 00:15:35.639
 before the foundation

00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:36.160
 of the world

00:15:36.160 --> 00:15:36.980
 in the book of life

00:15:36.980 --> 00:15:37.500
 of the lamb

00:15:37.500 --> 00:15:38.480
 who was slain

00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:40.120
 and notice that verse 8

00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:41.580
 and all who dwell on earth

00:15:41.580 --> 00:15:42.740
 will worship it

00:15:42.740 --> 00:15:44.740
 in the original language

00:15:44.740 --> 00:15:46.200
 all the way through

00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:47.300
 chapter 13

00:15:47.300 --> 00:15:48.460
 in fact all the way up

00:15:48.460 --> 00:15:48.960
 to this point

00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:49.980
 just a little bit past it

00:15:49.980 --> 00:15:50.780
 the verb tenses

00:15:50.780 --> 00:15:51.920
 are a particular tense

00:15:51.920 --> 00:15:52.620
 which means that

00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:53.820
 everything that's being

00:15:53.820 --> 00:15:55.139
 described can be described

00:15:55.139 --> 00:15:56.179
 as in some way

00:15:56.179 --> 00:15:57.259
 being true in the future

00:15:57.259 --> 00:15:58.480
 and in the past

00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:59.279
 and in the present

00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:02.039
 and in the rest of chapter 13

00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:02.779
 when it's talking about

00:16:02.779 --> 00:16:03.639
 the second beast

00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:04.659
 once again

00:16:04.659 --> 00:16:05.720
 the verb tenses

00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:07.379
 are all a type of a verb tense

00:16:07.379 --> 00:16:08.519
 that allows us

00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:09.439
 to understand it

00:16:09.439 --> 00:16:10.039
 on one level

00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:11.159
 talking about the future

00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:11.639
 the past

00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:12.159
 and the present

00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:13.240
 but in the midst

00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:14.199
 of a whole range

00:16:14.199 --> 00:16:15.019
 of verb tenses

00:16:15.019 --> 00:16:15.480
 like that

00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:17.639
 there's only one future tense

00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:19.120
 in the entire text

00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:20.799
 and that

00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:22.740
 is in verse 8

00:16:22.740 --> 00:16:24.779
 all who dwell on earth

00:16:24.779 --> 00:16:25.919
 this is in the original language

00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:27.560
 will worship it

00:16:27.560 --> 00:16:28.759
 in other words

00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:29.899
 the rest of the text

00:16:29.899 --> 00:16:31.820
 is describing something

00:16:31.820 --> 00:16:32.740
 that on one level

00:16:32.740 --> 00:16:33.700
 there's a certain degree

00:16:33.700 --> 00:16:34.960
 to which it can be true

00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:36.139
 even today

00:16:36.139 --> 00:16:38.799
 but the text reminds us

00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:39.720
 that there will be

00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:41.560
 a complete fulfillment

00:16:41.560 --> 00:16:42.639
 of this text

00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:43.659
 at some day

00:16:43.659 --> 00:16:44.659
 in the future

00:16:44.659 --> 00:16:46.659
 that at some day

00:16:46.659 --> 00:16:47.440
 in the future

00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:48.379
 there will be

00:16:48.379 --> 00:16:49.299
 a beast

00:16:49.299 --> 00:16:50.700
 a political reality

00:16:50.700 --> 00:16:52.900
 that will in fact

00:16:52.900 --> 00:16:53.800
 have a type

00:16:53.800 --> 00:16:55.300
 of worldwide reach

00:16:55.300 --> 00:16:56.759
 that will affect

00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:57.640
 everybody

00:16:57.640 --> 00:16:58.940
 that at that time

00:16:58.940 --> 00:16:59.840
 there will in a sense

00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:00.520
 be those

00:17:00.520 --> 00:17:01.379
 whose names

00:17:01.379 --> 00:17:01.680
 are written

00:17:01.680 --> 00:17:02.720
 in the Lamb's Book of Life

00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:03.540
 which I'll talk about

00:17:03.540 --> 00:17:03.960
 in a moment

00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:05.059
 or those who

00:17:05.059 --> 00:17:06.420
 quite literally

00:17:06.420 --> 00:17:08.019
 quite literally

00:17:08.019 --> 00:17:09.480
 are involved

00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:10.059
 in the worship

00:17:10.059 --> 00:17:11.500
 of this beast

00:17:11.500 --> 00:17:13.059
 but that

00:17:13.059 --> 00:17:14.380
 is pointing

00:17:14.380 --> 00:17:15.700
 to a future time

00:17:15.700 --> 00:17:17.140
 and all the rest

00:17:17.140 --> 00:17:17.620
 of the way

00:17:17.620 --> 00:17:18.360
 through the text

00:17:18.360 --> 00:17:19.440
 it's talking about

00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:20.080
 things which

00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:21.599
 can be approximated

00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:22.179
 now

00:17:22.179 --> 00:17:24.299
 but are not

00:17:24.299 --> 00:17:24.960
 the fullness

00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:26.039
 that will come

00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:27.059
 see one of the things

00:17:27.059 --> 00:17:28.359
 that you have to understand

00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:29.500
 about the Book of Revelation

00:17:29.500 --> 00:17:29.919
 is this

00:17:29.919 --> 00:17:30.519
 that

00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:32.839
 and if you don't get it

00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:34.059
 if I haven't been clear

00:17:34.059 --> 00:17:34.619
 about it other weeks

00:17:34.619 --> 00:17:35.199
 I apologize

00:17:35.199 --> 00:17:36.019
 is the Bible

00:17:36.019 --> 00:17:37.199
 very clearly teaches

00:17:37.199 --> 00:17:37.720
 that Jesus

00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:39.119
 will return again

00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:40.720
 that God

00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:42.099
 will bring history

00:17:42.099 --> 00:17:42.919
 to a close

00:17:42.919 --> 00:17:44.839
 and it's because

00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:45.679
 the very one

00:17:45.679 --> 00:17:46.220
 who has created

00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:46.779
 all things

00:17:46.779 --> 00:17:47.379
 the very one

00:17:47.379 --> 00:17:48.099
 who sustains

00:17:48.099 --> 00:17:48.740
 all things

00:17:48.740 --> 00:17:49.839
 the very one

00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:50.319
 the Lamb

00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:50.940
 who died

00:17:50.940 --> 00:17:51.680
 to redeem

00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:52.980
 those who turned

00:17:52.980 --> 00:17:53.299
 to Him

00:17:53.299 --> 00:17:53.859
 in repentance

00:17:53.859 --> 00:17:54.500
 and faith

00:17:54.500 --> 00:17:55.480
 that that is

00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:56.640
 the very same person

00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:57.400
 who will bring

00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:57.960
 all things

00:17:57.960 --> 00:17:58.599
 to a close

00:17:58.599 --> 00:17:59.539
 that's the ground

00:17:59.539 --> 00:18:00.279
 for hope

00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:01.319
 that's the ground

00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:02.140
 for repentance

00:18:02.140 --> 00:18:03.620
 that's the ground

00:18:03.620 --> 00:18:04.559
 for being able

00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:05.180
 to stand

00:18:05.180 --> 00:18:05.720
 in the face

00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:06.339
 of the dragon

00:18:06.339 --> 00:18:06.859
 and stand

00:18:06.859 --> 00:18:07.339
 in the face

00:18:07.339 --> 00:18:07.920
 of the beast

00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:08.759
 and stand

00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:09.220
 in the face

00:18:09.220 --> 00:18:09.859
 of evil

00:18:09.859 --> 00:18:11.019
 in our culture

00:18:11.019 --> 00:18:12.460
 wherever we find it

00:18:12.460 --> 00:18:13.120
 and it's all

00:18:13.120 --> 00:18:14.059
 because of the fact

00:18:14.059 --> 00:18:14.680
 that the Lamb

00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:15.519
 who was slain

00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:16.420
 who redeems

00:18:16.420 --> 00:18:17.100
 all who put

00:18:17.100 --> 00:18:17.539
 their faith

00:18:17.539 --> 00:18:18.000
 and trust

00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:18.259
 in Him

00:18:18.259 --> 00:18:18.860
 is the same

00:18:18.860 --> 00:18:19.200
 one

00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:19.980
 who will

00:18:19.980 --> 00:18:20.560
 someday

00:18:20.560 --> 00:18:21.140
 return

00:18:21.140 --> 00:18:21.720
 whether it's

00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:22.539
 in a week's time

00:18:22.539 --> 00:18:23.259
 whether it's

00:18:23.259 --> 00:18:24.360
 in seven years time

00:18:24.360 --> 00:18:25.519
 seven years time

00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:26.960
 seven hundred years time

00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:27.660
 we do not know

00:18:27.660 --> 00:18:28.160
 when it is

00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:29.360
 but at some point

00:18:29.360 --> 00:18:29.779
 in time

00:18:29.779 --> 00:18:30.860
 most of the thing

00:18:30.860 --> 00:18:31.500
 all of the things

00:18:31.500 --> 00:18:32.120
 that we've been talking

00:18:32.120 --> 00:18:32.519
 about in the book

00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:32.980
 of Revelation

00:18:32.980 --> 00:18:33.539
 there will be

00:18:33.539 --> 00:18:34.200
 a sense

00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:34.560
 where

00:18:34.560 --> 00:18:35.320
 not a sense

00:18:35.320 --> 00:18:36.080
 it will be

00:18:36.080 --> 00:18:37.039
 it will be

00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:38.400
 it will be

00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:39.580
 in its fullness

00:18:39.580 --> 00:18:40.519
 and those

00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:42.000
 Lord have mercy

00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:43.200
 who are alive

00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:43.940
 at that time

00:18:43.940 --> 00:18:44.580
 will see

00:18:44.579 --> 00:18:45.559
 and understand it

00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:46.599
 in its fullness

00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:49.460
 and what the text

00:18:49.460 --> 00:18:49.919
 is doing

00:18:49.919 --> 00:18:50.539
 is it's trying

00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:51.000
 to give us

00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:51.619
 a language

00:18:51.619 --> 00:18:52.359
 and a grammar

00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:53.799
 and a set of images

00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:54.720
 to understand

00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:55.819
 our own culture

00:18:55.819 --> 00:18:56.859
 but also

00:18:56.859 --> 00:18:58.139
 if we happen

00:18:58.139 --> 00:18:59.399
 to be that generation

00:18:59.399 --> 00:19:00.359
 that are still alive

00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:01.460
 when that final time

00:19:01.460 --> 00:19:01.839
 comes

00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:03.139
 that we will have

00:19:03.139 --> 00:19:04.579
 a set of images

00:19:04.579 --> 00:19:05.419
 and language

00:19:05.419 --> 00:19:07.099
 and ideas

00:19:07.099 --> 00:19:07.819
 to help us

00:19:07.819 --> 00:19:08.500
 to understand

00:19:08.500 --> 00:19:09.319
 what in fact

00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:09.759
 it is

00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:11.079
 that is going on

00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:14.299
 now does this

00:19:14.299 --> 00:19:14.859
 mean here

00:19:14.859 --> 00:19:15.279
 by the way

00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:16.019
 this text

00:19:16.019 --> 00:19:16.359
 George

00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:17.539
 you're saying

00:19:17.539 --> 00:19:18.039
 that the

00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:19.019
 dragon

00:19:19.019 --> 00:19:20.259
 the devil

00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:20.859
 can have

00:19:20.859 --> 00:19:21.619
 a profound

00:19:21.619 --> 00:19:22.240
 impact

00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:23.740
 on institutions

00:19:23.740 --> 00:19:25.939
 human institutions

00:19:25.939 --> 00:19:28.079
 even the state

00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:29.399
 does that mean

00:19:29.399 --> 00:19:29.740
 George

00:19:29.740 --> 00:19:30.480
 that all the people

00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:31.079
 that we know

00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:31.579
 that work

00:19:31.579 --> 00:19:32.319
 for the military

00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:33.000
 should quit

00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:34.319
 does that mean

00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:34.939
 that all of those

00:19:34.939 --> 00:19:35.259
 who work

00:19:35.259 --> 00:19:35.839
 in the police

00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:36.439
 and the judiciary

00:19:36.439 --> 00:19:37.240
 should quit

00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:38.139
 does that mean

00:19:38.139 --> 00:19:38.699
 those who work

00:19:38.699 --> 00:19:39.419
 on Parliament Hill

00:19:39.419 --> 00:19:40.019
 should quit

00:19:40.019 --> 00:19:41.720
 no

00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:43.980
 here's the thing

00:19:43.980 --> 00:19:44.619
 Andrew if you could

00:19:44.619 --> 00:19:45.359
 put this up

00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:47.480
 here's a prayer

00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:48.279
 for us to pray

00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:48.779
 and it's sort of

00:19:48.779 --> 00:19:49.619
 a very important

00:19:49.619 --> 00:19:51.319
 text to understand

00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:53.240
 it's a prayer

00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:53.680
 for us to pray

00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:54.099
 in a sense

00:19:54.099 --> 00:19:54.859
 an application

00:19:54.859 --> 00:19:55.480
 a take home

00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:56.400
 for us to understand

00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:57.379
 what the implication

00:19:57.379 --> 00:19:58.160
 of this text is

00:19:58.160 --> 00:19:58.720
 for us in terms

00:19:58.720 --> 00:19:59.400
 of how we live

00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:00.460
 and here's how

00:20:00.460 --> 00:20:01.240
 I put it

00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:01.980
 dear God

00:20:01.980 --> 00:20:02.779
 please help me

00:20:02.779 --> 00:20:03.119
 to seek

00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:03.940
 the true good

00:20:03.940 --> 00:20:04.680
 of this city

00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:06.200
 please help me

00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:06.720
 to seek

00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:07.859
 your definition

00:20:07.859 --> 00:20:09.460
 of the city's good

00:20:09.460 --> 00:20:11.259
 not the city's

00:20:11.259 --> 00:20:12.500
 own definition

00:20:12.500 --> 00:20:13.900
 of its good

00:20:13.900 --> 00:20:15.980
 dear God

00:20:15.980 --> 00:20:16.980
 please help me

00:20:16.980 --> 00:20:17.360
 to seek

00:20:17.360 --> 00:20:18.120
 the true good

00:20:18.120 --> 00:20:18.860
 of this city

00:20:18.860 --> 00:20:20.180
 please help me

00:20:20.180 --> 00:20:20.600
 to seek

00:20:20.600 --> 00:20:21.680
 your definition

00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:22.819
 of the city's good

00:20:22.819 --> 00:20:24.100
 not the city's

00:20:24.100 --> 00:20:24.940
 own definition

00:20:24.940 --> 00:20:25.840
 of its good

00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:30.599
 one of the lessons

00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:31.039
 of the book

00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:31.619
 of Revelation

00:20:31.619 --> 00:20:32.919
 and I mentioned

00:20:32.919 --> 00:20:33.439
 it when I was

00:20:33.439 --> 00:20:34.199
 describing that

00:20:34.199 --> 00:20:35.019
 point that I used

00:20:35.019 --> 00:20:35.559
 last week

00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:36.059
 is that

00:20:36.059 --> 00:20:37.419
 the devil is real

00:20:37.419 --> 00:20:38.480
 he is our enemy

00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:39.519
 he is alive

00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:40.279
 he is active

00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:40.959
 he is doomed

00:20:40.959 --> 00:20:42.039
 and in the face

00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:43.720
 of his opposition

00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:45.579
 in the face

00:20:45.579 --> 00:20:46.439
 of his opposition

00:20:46.439 --> 00:20:47.839
 we are to bear

00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:48.539
 witness with our

00:20:48.539 --> 00:20:49.319
 lives and with our

00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:50.299
 lips of Jesus

00:20:50.299 --> 00:20:51.459
 Christ crucified

00:20:51.459 --> 00:20:53.240
 and the book

00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:53.740
 of Revelation

00:20:53.740 --> 00:20:54.859
 isn't telling us

00:20:54.859 --> 00:20:55.519
 that because

00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:56.039
 these things

00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:56.559
 are happening

00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:57.500
 we should live

00:20:57.500 --> 00:20:58.039
 in fear

00:20:58.039 --> 00:20:59.299
 it doesn't tell us

00:20:59.299 --> 00:20:59.759
 these things

00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:00.880
 so we will brood

00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:02.099
 or be consumed

00:21:02.099 --> 00:21:02.819
 or obsessed

00:21:02.819 --> 00:21:03.220
 with them

00:21:03.220 --> 00:21:04.140
 it doesn't tell us

00:21:04.140 --> 00:21:04.680
 these things

00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:05.279
 so that we will

00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:06.480
 live in holy

00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:07.180
 ghettos

00:21:07.180 --> 00:21:08.240
 or enclaves

00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:09.460
 we have a

00:21:09.460 --> 00:21:10.099
 fundamental

00:21:10.099 --> 00:21:11.400
 we have a

00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:12.079
 fundamental

00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:12.859
 vocation

00:21:12.859 --> 00:21:13.440
 that comes

00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:14.019
 from God

00:21:14.019 --> 00:21:14.740
 to bear witness

00:21:14.740 --> 00:21:15.380
 to Jesus

00:21:15.380 --> 00:21:16.420
 and we have

00:21:16.420 --> 00:21:17.220
 a fundamental

00:21:17.220 --> 00:21:19.019
 vocation

00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:19.980
 that comes

00:21:19.980 --> 00:21:20.359
 from God

00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:21.039
 not only to bear

00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:21.920
 witness to Jesus

00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:22.680
 but to seek

00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:23.640
 the good of the city

00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:25.120
 and now I don't

00:21:25.120 --> 00:21:26.100
 know what advice

00:21:26.100 --> 00:21:26.759
 I would give

00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:28.039
 if we were maybe

00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:28.779
 in that very very

00:21:28.779 --> 00:21:29.400
 final time

00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:30.200
 I mean this text

00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:30.980
 would inform it

00:21:30.980 --> 00:21:32.080
 but here's the

00:21:32.080 --> 00:21:33.039
 primary thing

00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:34.120
 is that when we

00:21:34.120 --> 00:21:34.980
 seek the good

00:21:34.980 --> 00:21:35.799
 of our city

00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:37.240
 what we do not

00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:39.060
 seek is the city's

00:21:39.060 --> 00:21:39.980
 own definition

00:21:39.980 --> 00:21:40.759
 of the good

00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:42.000
 we seek

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:43.420
 Jesus' definition

00:21:43.420 --> 00:21:44.060
 of the good

00:21:44.060 --> 00:21:45.160
 I don't know

00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:45.680
 how many of you

00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:46.060
 are familiar

00:21:46.060 --> 00:21:47.299
 with Dietrich Bonhoeffer

00:21:47.299 --> 00:21:48.600
 I've been reading

00:21:48.600 --> 00:21:49.480
 some things about him

00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:50.240
 this past week

00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:50.660
 as well

00:21:50.660 --> 00:21:52.380
 and Dietrich Bonhoeffer

00:21:52.380 --> 00:21:54.420
 by personal order

00:21:54.420 --> 00:21:55.019
 of Hitler

00:21:55.019 --> 00:21:57.060
 was executed

00:21:57.060 --> 00:21:58.700
 just a very very

00:21:58.700 --> 00:21:59.300
 short while

00:21:59.300 --> 00:22:00.040
 before Hitler

00:22:00.040 --> 00:22:00.820
 himself took

00:22:00.820 --> 00:22:01.440
 his own life

00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:03.500
 Dietrich Bonhoeffer

00:22:03.500 --> 00:22:05.160
 leader of the

00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:06.160
 Confessing Church

00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:07.080
 and

00:22:07.080 --> 00:22:10.460
 maybe not many

00:22:10.460 --> 00:22:11.140
 of you know this

00:22:11.140 --> 00:22:11.580
 but the thing

00:22:11.580 --> 00:22:12.519
 about Bonhoeffer

00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:13.759
 is that early on

00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:14.200
 he was one of the

00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:14.920
 very very first

00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:15.600
 people in Germany

00:22:15.600 --> 00:22:16.220
 to speak out

00:22:16.220 --> 00:22:17.000
 about the evils

00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:17.880
 of Nazism

00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:18.920
 and to warn

00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:19.820
 about the evils

00:22:19.819 --> 00:22:20.480
 of Nazism

00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:21.700
 and early on

00:22:21.700 --> 00:22:22.419
 in the 30s

00:22:22.419 --> 00:22:23.059
 he actually tried

00:22:23.059 --> 00:22:23.379
 to create

00:22:23.379 --> 00:22:24.079
 an underground

00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:24.859
 seminary

00:22:24.859 --> 00:22:25.419
 because he

00:22:25.419 --> 00:22:26.579
 believed that

00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:27.399
 increasingly

00:22:27.399 --> 00:22:28.220
 the seminaries

00:22:28.220 --> 00:22:28.879
 and the churches

00:22:28.879 --> 00:22:30.019
 they were

00:22:30.019 --> 00:22:31.259
 because they wanted

00:22:31.259 --> 00:22:32.159
 to curry favor

00:22:32.159 --> 00:22:32.759
 and maintain

00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:33.399
 their position

00:22:33.399 --> 00:22:34.559
 they were becoming

00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:35.559
 Nazi in their

00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:36.159
 theology

00:22:36.159 --> 00:22:37.339
 and so he created

00:22:37.339 --> 00:22:38.139
 an underground

00:22:38.139 --> 00:22:38.759
 seminary

00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:39.619
 which was eventually

00:22:39.619 --> 00:22:41.240
 overcome

00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:42.259
 and closed

00:22:42.259 --> 00:22:43.099
 by the Gestapo

00:22:43.099 --> 00:22:44.439
 but how he

00:22:44.439 --> 00:22:44.899
 ended up

00:22:44.899 --> 00:22:45.480
 hiding

00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:46.220
 and working

00:22:46.220 --> 00:22:47.059
 against the Hitler

00:22:47.059 --> 00:22:47.799
 for many many

00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:48.220
 years

00:22:48.220 --> 00:22:49.480
 is he joined

00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:51.019
 military intelligence

00:22:51.019 --> 00:22:53.039
 because

00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:55.839
 for many years

00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:56.720
 under Hitler

00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:58.100
 the main source

00:22:58.100 --> 00:22:58.779
 of opposition

00:22:58.779 --> 00:22:59.680
 within Germany

00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:01.339
 was devout

00:23:01.339 --> 00:23:02.019
 Christians

00:23:02.019 --> 00:23:03.019
 within military

00:23:03.019 --> 00:23:03.700
 intelligence

00:23:03.700 --> 00:23:05.640
 and one of the

00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:06.259
 ways that they

00:23:06.259 --> 00:23:07.000
 sought the true

00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:07.740
 good of their

00:23:07.740 --> 00:23:08.380
 country

00:23:08.380 --> 00:23:10.240
 was to document

00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:11.200
 the evils

00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:12.000
 that the Nazis

00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:13.339
 were performing

00:23:13.339 --> 00:23:15.359
 was to communicate

00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:16.240
 the evils

00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:16.839
 of the death

00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:17.279
 camps

00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:18.079
 to the wider

00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:18.679
 world

00:23:18.679 --> 00:23:20.139
 and to seek

00:23:20.139 --> 00:23:20.939
 to overthrow

00:23:20.939 --> 00:23:21.500
 Hitler

00:23:21.500 --> 00:23:23.240
 that is how

00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:24.480
 they sought

00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:25.240
 the good

00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:26.279
 of their country

00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:27.819
 they did not

00:23:27.819 --> 00:23:28.599
 allow

00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:29.500
 Hitler

00:23:29.500 --> 00:23:30.539
 to define

00:23:30.539 --> 00:23:31.159
 the good

00:23:31.159 --> 00:23:31.879
 of Germany

00:23:31.879 --> 00:23:34.459
 they went

00:23:34.459 --> 00:23:35.039
 to God's

00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:35.599
 word written

00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:36.240
 they went

00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:37.000
 to the Lamb

00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:38.179
 to understand

00:23:38.179 --> 00:23:39.199
 God's word

00:23:39.199 --> 00:23:39.639
 written

00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:43.460
 and so it is

00:23:43.460 --> 00:23:45.620
 I apologize

00:23:45.620 --> 00:23:46.360
 for a second

00:23:46.360 --> 00:23:46.780
 if I

00:23:46.780 --> 00:23:48.500
 I'm just going

00:23:48.500 --> 00:23:48.920
 to say this

00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:49.240
 anyway

00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:50.820
 our city

00:23:50.820 --> 00:23:51.340
 might think

00:23:51.340 --> 00:23:51.680
 that more

00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:52.160
 abortion

00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:52.920
 is good

00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:56.400
 our city

00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:56.980
 might think

00:23:56.980 --> 00:23:57.880
 that euthanasia

00:23:57.880 --> 00:23:58.480
 is good

00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:02.620
 and we are

00:24:02.620 --> 00:24:03.040
 to pray

00:24:03.040 --> 00:24:03.500
 for the good

00:24:03.500 --> 00:24:04.020
 of our city

00:24:04.020 --> 00:24:04.460
 and seek

00:24:04.460 --> 00:24:04.740
 the good

00:24:04.740 --> 00:24:05.240
 of our city

00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:05.980
 but our city

00:24:05.980 --> 00:24:06.640
 is wrong

00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:07.400
 about that

00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:09.740
 what is good

00:24:09.740 --> 00:24:10.360
 for the city

00:24:10.360 --> 00:24:11.300
 is that the

00:24:11.300 --> 00:24:11.940
 strong

00:24:11.940 --> 00:24:13.060
 care for the

00:24:13.060 --> 00:24:13.420
 weak

00:24:13.420 --> 00:24:15.740
 what is good

00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:16.400
 for the city

00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:17.380
 is that the

00:24:17.380 --> 00:24:18.080
 strong and

00:24:18.080 --> 00:24:18.700
 the healthy

00:24:18.700 --> 00:24:20.160
 care for the

00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:21.019
 defenseless

00:24:21.019 --> 00:24:23.519
 what is good

00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:24.160
 for the city

00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:25.460
 is that we

00:24:25.460 --> 00:24:26.060
 rescue

00:24:26.060 --> 00:24:27.180
 those

00:24:27.180 --> 00:24:27.759
 who are

00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:28.180
 poor

00:24:28.180 --> 00:24:28.880
 and lonely

00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:29.960
 and deprived

00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:31.160
 and depressed

00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:33.360
 have no power

00:24:33.360 --> 00:24:34.660
 and that we

00:24:34.660 --> 00:24:35.759
 seek to rescue

00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:36.100
 them

00:24:36.099 --> 00:24:38.500
 to restore

00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:38.879
 them

00:24:38.879 --> 00:24:39.879
 to protect

00:24:39.879 --> 00:24:40.259
 them

00:24:40.259 --> 00:24:42.480
 and so

00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:43.199
 there might

00:24:43.199 --> 00:24:43.959
 be many ways

00:24:43.959 --> 00:24:44.419
 that we can

00:24:44.419 --> 00:24:45.359
 work in harmony

00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:46.079
 with our city

00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:46.879
 we can

00:24:46.879 --> 00:24:48.500
 feed the poor

00:24:48.500 --> 00:24:49.159
 we can

00:24:49.159 --> 00:24:50.919
 give to

00:24:50.919 --> 00:24:51.679
 orphans

00:24:51.679 --> 00:24:52.659
 around the world

00:24:52.659 --> 00:24:53.419
 and we can

00:24:53.419 --> 00:24:53.899
 agree with them

00:24:53.899 --> 00:24:54.980
 but where

00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:55.740
 the city

00:24:55.740 --> 00:24:57.339
 is wrong

00:24:57.339 --> 00:24:59.099
 we still

00:24:59.099 --> 00:24:59.779
 seek the

00:24:59.779 --> 00:25:00.480
 true good

00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:01.419
 of this city

00:25:01.420 --> 00:25:04.180
 and it's

00:25:04.180 --> 00:25:04.880
 the lamb

00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:06.100
 who determines

00:25:06.100 --> 00:25:06.660
 the true

00:25:06.660 --> 00:25:07.000
 good

00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:08.580
 not the city

00:25:08.580 --> 00:25:11.820
 and so

00:25:11.820 --> 00:25:12.320
 it is

00:25:12.320 --> 00:25:13.100
 that the

00:25:13.100 --> 00:25:13.580
 devil can

00:25:13.580 --> 00:25:13.940
 have a

00:25:13.940 --> 00:25:14.380
 significant

00:25:14.380 --> 00:25:15.100
 impact

00:25:15.100 --> 00:25:16.180
 on any

00:25:16.180 --> 00:25:16.740
 institution

00:25:16.740 --> 00:25:17.220
 even the

00:25:17.220 --> 00:25:17.539
 state and

00:25:17.539 --> 00:25:17.940
 the government

00:25:17.940 --> 00:25:19.759
 and we

00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:20.160
 are to

00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:20.640
 pray

00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:23.940
 that in

00:25:23.940 --> 00:25:24.460
 any

00:25:24.460 --> 00:25:25.440
 situation

00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:27.519
 amid the

00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:29.019
 example I

00:25:29.019 --> 00:25:29.340
 gave of

00:25:29.339 --> 00:25:30.059
 Bonhoeffer

00:25:30.059 --> 00:25:31.220
 many of

00:25:31.220 --> 00:25:31.500
 the people

00:25:31.500 --> 00:25:31.879
 it was

00:25:31.879 --> 00:25:32.539
 with the

00:25:32.539 --> 00:25:33.819
 so called

00:25:33.819 --> 00:25:34.959
 Valkyrie plot

00:25:34.959 --> 00:25:36.519
 which they

00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:37.459
 put a bomb

00:25:37.459 --> 00:25:38.019
 in a bunker

00:25:38.019 --> 00:25:38.500
 that Hitler

00:25:38.500 --> 00:25:38.980
 was at

00:25:38.980 --> 00:25:39.500
 and a leg

00:25:39.500 --> 00:25:40.019
 of a table

00:25:40.019 --> 00:25:40.559
 amongst other

00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:40.859
 things

00:25:40.859 --> 00:25:41.799
 protected

00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:42.240
 Hitler

00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:43.519
 and if you've

00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:43.819
 seen the

00:25:43.819 --> 00:25:44.259
 Tom Cruise

00:25:44.259 --> 00:25:44.779
 movie it

00:25:44.779 --> 00:25:46.019
 ignores the

00:25:46.019 --> 00:25:46.919
 Christian side

00:25:46.919 --> 00:25:48.959
 but many of

00:25:48.959 --> 00:25:50.119
 the Bonhoeffer's

00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:51.159
 friends and

00:25:51.159 --> 00:25:52.039
 family members

00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:52.879
 very devout

00:25:52.879 --> 00:25:53.439
 Christians

00:25:53.439 --> 00:25:54.699
 that plot

00:25:54.699 --> 00:25:55.159
 ended up

00:25:55.159 --> 00:25:55.839
 being the

00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:56.259
 death of

00:25:56.259 --> 00:25:56.460
 them

00:25:56.460 --> 00:25:57.980
 and

00:25:57.980 --> 00:26:00.259
 but they

00:26:00.259 --> 00:26:01.200
 they

00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:02.579
 sought to

00:26:02.579 --> 00:26:03.099
 serve

00:26:03.099 --> 00:26:04.220
 their city

00:26:04.220 --> 00:26:06.180
 by the

00:26:06.180 --> 00:26:07.319
 by the

00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:07.779
 lamb's

00:26:07.779 --> 00:26:08.279
 definition

00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:08.920
 of the

00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:09.279
 city's

00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:09.480
 good

00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:10.879
 and that

00:26:10.879 --> 00:26:11.539
 is always

00:26:11.539 --> 00:26:12.640
 our vocation

00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:14.980
 as followers

00:26:14.980 --> 00:26:15.619
 of Jesus

00:26:15.619 --> 00:26:19.700
 now

00:26:19.700 --> 00:26:20.819
 some of

00:26:20.819 --> 00:26:21.079
 you might

00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:21.539
 say

00:26:21.539 --> 00:26:23.440
 George

00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:23.799
 that's

00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:26.599
 I have to

00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:26.899
 get my

00:26:26.899 --> 00:26:27.420
 mind around

00:26:27.420 --> 00:26:27.819
 the fact

00:26:27.819 --> 00:26:28.259
 that the

00:26:28.259 --> 00:26:28.759
 devil could

00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:29.319
 actually have

00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:29.920
 an impact

00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:30.839
 on cultural

00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:31.619
 institutions

00:26:31.619 --> 00:26:33.059
 and I'm not

00:26:33.059 --> 00:26:33.460
 quite sure

00:26:33.460 --> 00:26:33.899
 what to make

00:26:33.899 --> 00:26:34.259
 about it

00:26:34.259 --> 00:26:35.079
 I can see

00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:36.859
 that you

00:26:36.859 --> 00:26:37.359
 believe it

00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:37.740
 and I

00:26:37.740 --> 00:26:38.339
 accept that

00:26:38.339 --> 00:26:38.720
 the Bible

00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:39.440
 teaches it

00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:40.599
 and it's

00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:41.039
 just something

00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:41.420
 I have to

00:26:41.420 --> 00:26:41.659
 sort of

00:26:41.659 --> 00:26:42.079
 think through

00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:43.279
 but George

00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:43.700
 I'm a little

00:26:43.700 --> 00:26:44.579
 bit confused

00:26:44.579 --> 00:26:45.220
 by something

00:26:45.220 --> 00:26:45.619
 that you

00:26:45.619 --> 00:26:46.139
 haven't gotten

00:26:46.139 --> 00:26:46.579
 to in the

00:26:46.579 --> 00:26:47.000
 text and

00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:47.359
 maybe you

00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:47.559
 won't

00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:48.079
 because I

00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:48.399
 know you

00:26:48.399 --> 00:26:48.639
 have a

00:26:48.639 --> 00:26:49.119
 time limit

00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:49.480
 in terms

00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:49.700
 of what

00:26:49.700 --> 00:26:49.980
 you speak

00:26:49.980 --> 00:26:50.200
 and some

00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:50.339
 of you

00:26:50.339 --> 00:26:50.519
 might be

00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:50.619
 saying

00:26:50.619 --> 00:26:50.940
 George

00:26:50.940 --> 00:26:51.660
 I don't

00:26:51.660 --> 00:26:51.860
 quite

00:26:51.860 --> 00:26:52.460
 understand

00:26:52.460 --> 00:26:52.960
 really

00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:53.360
 how

00:26:53.360 --> 00:26:53.840
 Christians

00:26:53.840 --> 00:26:54.160
 think

00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:54.400
 of the

00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:54.759
 difference

00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:55.140
 between

00:26:55.140 --> 00:26:55.320
 the

00:26:55.320 --> 00:26:55.600
 beast

00:26:55.600 --> 00:26:55.900
 and

00:26:55.900 --> 00:26:56.259
 Jesus

00:26:56.259 --> 00:26:57.360
 it's

00:26:57.360 --> 00:26:57.460
 an

00:26:57.460 --> 00:26:57.720
 honest

00:26:57.720 --> 00:26:58.180
 question

00:26:58.180 --> 00:26:58.539
 I mean

00:26:58.539 --> 00:26:59.220
 George

00:26:59.220 --> 00:26:59.920
 don't you

00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:00.140
 guys

00:27:00.140 --> 00:27:00.500
 believe

00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:00.860
 that like

00:27:00.860 --> 00:27:01.279
 miracles

00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:01.779
 are good

00:27:01.779 --> 00:27:02.640
 but the

00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:02.980
 beast

00:27:02.980 --> 00:27:03.559
 remember

00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:04.100
 when Ken

00:27:04.100 --> 00:27:04.500
 was reading

00:27:04.500 --> 00:27:04.779
 a few

00:27:04.779 --> 00:27:05.059
 moments

00:27:05.059 --> 00:27:05.299
 ago

00:27:05.299 --> 00:27:05.720
 that the

00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:06.120
 second

00:27:06.120 --> 00:27:06.480
 beast

00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:07.160
 that performs

00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:07.680
 miracles

00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:09.640
 and George

00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:10.440
 don't you

00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:10.920
 like why

00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:11.320
 is it that

00:27:11.320 --> 00:27:11.580
 you want

00:27:11.580 --> 00:27:11.920
 to follow

00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:12.380
 Jesus

00:27:12.380 --> 00:27:13.080
 rather than

00:27:13.080 --> 00:27:13.740
 this beast

00:27:13.740 --> 00:27:14.019
 I mean

00:27:14.019 --> 00:27:14.180
 you're

00:27:14.180 --> 00:27:14.640
 saying that

00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:14.980
 the beast

00:27:14.980 --> 00:27:15.440
 is evil

00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:15.900
 but why

00:27:15.900 --> 00:27:16.100
 are you

00:27:16.100 --> 00:27:16.460
 wanting to

00:27:16.460 --> 00:27:17.080
 follow Jesus

00:27:17.080 --> 00:27:17.539
 rather than

00:27:17.539 --> 00:27:17.740
 the beast

00:27:17.740 --> 00:27:18.100
 doesn't

00:27:18.100 --> 00:27:18.620
 the beast

00:27:18.619 --> 00:27:19.079
 die

00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:19.579
 and come

00:27:19.579 --> 00:27:20.000
 to life

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:21.339
 and isn't

00:27:21.339 --> 00:27:21.699
 George

00:27:21.699 --> 00:27:22.039
 the whole

00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:22.359
 reason

00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:22.639
 that you

00:27:22.639 --> 00:27:22.979
 follow

00:27:22.979 --> 00:27:23.379
 Jesus

00:27:23.379 --> 00:27:23.839
 isn't a

00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:24.399
 very key

00:27:24.399 --> 00:27:24.819
 part of

00:27:24.819 --> 00:27:25.179
 the reason

00:27:25.179 --> 00:27:25.459
 that you

00:27:25.459 --> 00:27:25.759
 follow

00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:26.159
 Jesus

00:27:26.159 --> 00:27:26.619
 is that

00:27:26.619 --> 00:27:26.959
 Jesus

00:27:26.959 --> 00:27:27.439
 died

00:27:27.439 --> 00:27:28.179
 and come

00:27:28.179 --> 00:27:28.439
 to life

00:27:28.439 --> 00:27:29.239
 so I'm

00:27:29.239 --> 00:27:29.539
 a little

00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:29.799
 bit

00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:30.439
 confused

00:27:30.439 --> 00:27:31.819
 about why

00:27:31.819 --> 00:27:32.219
 you think

00:27:32.219 --> 00:27:32.659
 there's such

00:27:32.659 --> 00:27:32.959
 a big

00:27:32.959 --> 00:27:33.479
 difference

00:27:33.479 --> 00:27:33.739
 here

00:27:33.739 --> 00:27:34.299
 like

00:27:34.299 --> 00:27:34.679
 George

00:27:34.679 --> 00:27:34.959
 isn't

00:27:34.959 --> 00:27:35.339
 it maybe

00:27:35.339 --> 00:27:36.099
 a text

00:27:36.099 --> 00:27:36.659
 about how

00:27:36.659 --> 00:27:37.139
 like any

00:27:37.139 --> 00:27:37.579
 type of

00:27:37.579 --> 00:27:37.799
 thing

00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:38.159
 can sort

00:27:38.159 --> 00:27:38.359
 of be

00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:38.679
 demonic

00:27:38.679 --> 00:27:39.000
 even

00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:39.439
 following

00:27:39.439 --> 00:27:39.839
 Jesus

00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:40.239
 can be

00:27:40.239 --> 00:27:40.459
 a little

00:27:40.459 --> 00:27:40.679
 bit

00:27:40.679 --> 00:27:41.039
 demonic

00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:42.399
 it's a

00:27:42.399 --> 00:27:43.179
 very good

00:27:43.179 --> 00:27:43.559
 series

00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:44.259
 of questions

00:27:44.259 --> 00:27:45.579
 let's

00:27:45.579 --> 00:27:45.919
 just look

00:27:45.919 --> 00:27:46.259
 again at

00:27:46.259 --> 00:27:46.639
 the text

00:27:46.639 --> 00:27:47.079
 look again

00:27:48.619 --> 00:28:04.859
 look at

00:28:04.859 --> 00:28:06.419
 the text

00:28:06.419 --> 00:28:06.699
 here is

00:28:06.699 --> 00:28:07.119
 playing around

00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:07.439
 with a little

00:28:07.439 --> 00:28:07.599
 bit

00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:07.939
 it's a bit

00:28:07.939 --> 00:28:08.659
 starker

00:28:08.659 --> 00:28:09.599
 but its

00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:10.159
 head had

00:28:10.159 --> 00:28:10.579
 a mortal

00:28:10.579 --> 00:28:11.039
 wound

00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:11.419
 a death

00:28:11.419 --> 00:28:11.739
 wound

00:28:11.739 --> 00:28:12.599
 but its

00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:12.919
 death

00:28:12.919 --> 00:28:13.219
 wound

00:28:13.219 --> 00:28:13.879
 was healed

00:28:13.879 --> 00:28:15.059
 and the

00:28:15.059 --> 00:28:15.579
 whole earth

00:28:15.579 --> 00:28:16.239
 marveled

00:28:16.239 --> 00:28:16.479
 as they

00:28:16.479 --> 00:28:16.759
 followed

00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:17.319
 the beast

00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:18.359
 and they

00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:18.819
 worshipped

00:28:18.819 --> 00:28:19.419
 the dragon

00:28:19.419 --> 00:28:19.759
 for he

00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:20.079
 had given

00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:20.659
 his authority

00:28:20.659 --> 00:28:21.059
 to the

00:28:21.059 --> 00:28:21.259
 beast

00:28:21.259 --> 00:28:21.559
 and they

00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:21.939
 worshipped

00:28:21.939 --> 00:28:22.319
 the beast

00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:22.599
 saying

00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:23.319
 who is

00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:23.759
 like the

00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:24.039
 beast

00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:24.460
 and who

00:28:24.460 --> 00:28:24.919
 can fight

00:28:24.919 --> 00:28:25.299
 against

00:28:25.299 --> 00:28:25.599
 it

00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:26.879
 and the

00:28:26.879 --> 00:28:27.119
 beast

00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:27.559
 was given

00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:28.200
 a mouth

00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:29.759
 uttering

00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:30.460
 haughty

00:28:30.460 --> 00:28:31.299
 and blasphemous

00:28:31.299 --> 00:28:31.819
 words

00:28:31.819 --> 00:28:33.339
 just sort of

00:28:33.339 --> 00:28:33.879
 pause here

00:28:33.879 --> 00:28:34.359
 for a second

00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:34.579
 as we're

00:28:34.579 --> 00:28:34.759
 reading

00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:34.919
 you know

00:28:34.919 --> 00:28:35.179
 one of the

00:28:35.179 --> 00:28:35.399
 really

00:28:35.399 --> 00:28:35.859
 interesting

00:28:35.859 --> 00:28:36.220
 things

00:28:36.220 --> 00:28:36.559
 is if

00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:36.859
 you ever

00:28:36.859 --> 00:28:37.179
 watch

00:28:37.179 --> 00:28:37.659
 a movie

00:28:37.659 --> 00:28:39.000
 where a

00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:39.599
 TV show

00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:40.599
 and somebody

00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:41.179
 says that's

00:28:41.179 --> 00:28:41.720
 blasphemy

00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:42.139
 don't you

00:28:42.139 --> 00:28:42.639
 automatically

00:28:42.639 --> 00:28:43.179
 think that

00:28:43.179 --> 00:28:43.559
 that's a

00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:44.139
 person who's

00:28:44.139 --> 00:28:44.579
 not a good

00:28:44.579 --> 00:28:45.099
 person

00:28:45.099 --> 00:28:46.359
 isn't it

00:28:46.359 --> 00:28:46.599
 sort of

00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:46.799
 very

00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:47.319
 interesting

00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:47.659
 in our

00:28:47.659 --> 00:28:48.099
 culture

00:28:48.099 --> 00:28:48.459
 we've

00:28:48.459 --> 00:28:48.719
 lost

00:28:48.719 --> 00:28:48.939
 the

00:28:48.939 --> 00:28:49.199
 sense

00:28:49.199 --> 00:28:49.379
 of

00:28:49.379 --> 00:28:50.019
 blasphemy

00:28:50.019 --> 00:28:51.359
 that even

00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:51.899
 to mention

00:28:51.899 --> 00:28:52.319
 it is

00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:52.639
 something

00:28:52.639 --> 00:28:52.899
 that

00:28:52.899 --> 00:28:53.740
 culturally

00:28:53.740 --> 00:28:54.419
 puts us

00:28:54.419 --> 00:28:54.859
 as if

00:28:54.859 --> 00:28:55.179
 we're

00:28:55.179 --> 00:28:55.759
 a bit

00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:56.359
 clueless

00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:57.359
 just an

00:28:57.359 --> 00:28:57.659
 idea

00:28:57.659 --> 00:28:59.379
 and it

00:28:59.379 --> 00:28:59.980
 was allowed

00:28:59.980 --> 00:29:00.980
 to exercise

00:29:00.980 --> 00:29:01.599
 authority

00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:02.279
 for 42

00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:02.740
 months

00:29:02.740 --> 00:29:03.419
 it opened

00:29:03.419 --> 00:29:03.839
 its mouth

00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:04.159
 to utter

00:29:04.159 --> 00:29:04.859
 blasphemies

00:29:04.859 --> 00:29:05.179
 against

00:29:05.179 --> 00:29:05.519
 God

00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:06.179
 blaspheming

00:29:06.179 --> 00:29:06.659
 his name

00:29:06.659 --> 00:29:07.379
 and his

00:29:07.379 --> 00:29:07.799
 dwelling

00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:08.819
 that is

00:29:08.819 --> 00:29:09.279
 those who

00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:09.659
 dwell in

00:29:09.659 --> 00:29:09.919
 heaven

00:29:09.919 --> 00:29:11.119
 also it

00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:11.519
 was allowed

00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:11.899
 to make

00:29:11.899 --> 00:29:12.699
 war on the

00:29:12.699 --> 00:29:12.980
 saints

00:29:12.980 --> 00:29:13.319
 and to

00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:13.679
 conquer

00:29:13.679 --> 00:29:13.959
 them

00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:15.140
 this is

00:29:15.140 --> 00:29:15.620
 the death

00:29:15.620 --> 00:29:15.920
 knell

00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:16.120
 of

00:29:16.120 --> 00:29:16.740
 prosperity

00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:17.360
 gospel

00:29:17.360 --> 00:29:19.120
 and authority

00:29:19.120 --> 00:29:19.600
 was given

00:29:19.600 --> 00:29:20.019
 it over

00:29:20.019 --> 00:29:21.100
 every tribe

00:29:21.100 --> 00:29:21.660
 and people

00:29:21.660 --> 00:29:22.240
 and language

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:22.759
 and nation

00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:23.220
 and all

00:29:23.220 --> 00:29:23.700
 who dwell

00:29:23.700 --> 00:29:23.980
 on the

00:29:23.980 --> 00:29:24.160
 earth

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:24.360
 will

00:29:24.360 --> 00:29:24.700
 worship

00:29:24.700 --> 00:29:24.940
 it

00:29:24.940 --> 00:29:25.660
 everyone

00:29:25.660 --> 00:29:26.039
 whose

00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:26.340
 name

00:29:26.340 --> 00:29:26.759
 has not

00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:26.960
 been

00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:27.200
 written

00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:27.539
 before

00:29:27.539 --> 00:29:27.759
 the

00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:28.200
 foundation

00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:28.519
 of the

00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:28.799
 world

00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:29.079
 and the

00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:29.279
 book

00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:29.799
 of life

00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:30.440
 of the

00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:30.700
 lamb

00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:31.039
 who was

00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:31.420
 slain

00:29:31.420 --> 00:29:32.460
 the lamb's

00:29:32.460 --> 00:29:32.799
 book of

00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:33.079
 life

00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:33.680
 talk about

00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:34.019
 that in a

00:29:34.019 --> 00:29:34.240
 moment

00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:35.340
 if anyone

00:29:35.340 --> 00:29:35.759
 has an

00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:35.940
 ear

00:29:35.940 --> 00:29:36.259
 let him

00:29:36.259 --> 00:29:36.539
 hear

00:29:36.539 --> 00:29:36.960
 if anyone

00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:37.240
 is to

00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:37.640
 be taken

00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:38.120
 captive

00:29:38.120 --> 00:29:38.319
 to

00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:38.779
 captivity

00:29:38.779 --> 00:29:39.019
 he

00:29:39.019 --> 00:29:39.299
 goes

00:29:39.299 --> 00:29:39.660
 if anyone

00:29:39.660 --> 00:29:39.960
 is to

00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:40.400
 be slain

00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:40.700
 with the

00:29:40.700 --> 00:29:40.960
 sword

00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:41.299
 with the

00:29:41.299 --> 00:29:41.519
 sword

00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:41.880
 he must

00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:42.480
 be slain

00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:43.600
 here's a

00:29:43.600 --> 00:29:44.039
 call for

00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:44.559
 the endurance

00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:45.220
 and faith

00:29:45.220 --> 00:29:45.539
 of the

00:29:45.539 --> 00:29:45.779
 saints

00:29:45.779 --> 00:29:46.080
 you see

00:29:46.080 --> 00:29:47.299
 that's

00:29:47.299 --> 00:29:47.759
 the key

00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:48.039
 to that

00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:48.360
 last

00:29:48.360 --> 00:29:48.680
 prayer

00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:49.120
 point

00:29:49.120 --> 00:29:50.240
 is that

00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:50.779
 the whole

00:29:50.779 --> 00:29:51.319
 point

00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:52.200
 of making

00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:52.740
 clear

00:29:52.740 --> 00:29:53.460
 that the

00:29:53.460 --> 00:29:53.660
 devil

00:29:53.660 --> 00:29:54.019
 can have

00:29:54.019 --> 00:29:54.480
 an impact

00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:55.100
 on culture

00:29:55.100 --> 00:29:55.740
 and institutions

00:29:55.740 --> 00:29:56.920
 is to

00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:57.319
 call us

00:29:57.319 --> 00:29:57.940
 to faithful

00:29:57.940 --> 00:29:58.819
 endurance

00:29:58.819 --> 00:29:59.740
 and enduring

00:29:59.740 --> 00:30:00.680
 faithfulness

00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:01.480
 where we

00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:01.920
 are

00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:04.740
 it's a

00:30:04.740 --> 00:30:04.900
 very

00:30:04.900 --> 00:30:05.100
 very

00:30:05.100 --> 00:30:05.460
 center

00:30:05.460 --> 00:30:05.640
 of the

00:30:05.640 --> 00:30:05.800
 text

00:30:05.800 --> 00:30:05.920
 I'm

00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:06.019
 going to

00:30:06.019 --> 00:30:06.279
 return

00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:06.519
 to it

00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:06.720
 at the

00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:06.920
 end

00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:07.140
 but

00:30:07.140 --> 00:30:07.519
 continue

00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:07.820
 on about

00:30:07.820 --> 00:30:07.980
 the

00:30:07.980 --> 00:30:08.259
 miracle

00:30:08.259 --> 00:30:08.539
 stuff

00:30:08.539 --> 00:30:08.800
 look at

00:30:08.800 --> 00:30:09.240
 verse 11

00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:09.640
 then I saw

00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:10.259
 another beast

00:30:10.259 --> 00:30:10.980
 rising out of the

00:30:10.980 --> 00:30:11.259
 earth

00:30:11.259 --> 00:30:12.480
 it had two

00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:13.200
 horns like a

00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:13.740
 lamb and it

00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:14.360
 spoke like a

00:30:14.360 --> 00:30:14.680
 dragon

00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:15.140
 I'm not going to

00:30:15.140 --> 00:30:15.600
 talk about it

00:30:15.600 --> 00:30:15.920
 very much

00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:16.340
 this is a

00:30:16.340 --> 00:30:16.779
 very very

00:30:16.779 --> 00:30:17.380
 powerful

00:30:17.380 --> 00:30:17.880
 image

00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:18.340
 it's a

00:30:18.340 --> 00:30:19.100
 image which

00:30:19.100 --> 00:30:19.840
 God desires

00:30:19.840 --> 00:30:20.460
 to have as

00:30:20.460 --> 00:30:20.940
 part of our

00:30:20.940 --> 00:30:21.279
 mental

00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:21.900
 furniture

00:30:21.900 --> 00:30:23.080
 to help us

00:30:23.080 --> 00:30:24.000
 understand

00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:24.820
 what's going

00:30:24.820 --> 00:30:25.340
 on

00:30:25.340 --> 00:30:26.480
 that there

00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:27.080
 can be a

00:30:27.080 --> 00:30:27.500
 beast

00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:28.480
 a demonic

00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:29.060
 beast

00:30:29.060 --> 00:30:30.039
 that

00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:31.060
 that would

00:30:31.060 --> 00:30:31.480
 had two

00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:31.779
 horns

00:30:31.779 --> 00:30:32.160
 like a

00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:32.399
 lamb

00:30:32.399 --> 00:30:32.680
 and it

00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:32.980
 spoke

00:30:32.980 --> 00:30:33.319
 like a

00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:33.720
 dragon

00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:34.539
 very

00:30:34.539 --> 00:30:35.220
 powerful

00:30:35.220 --> 00:30:35.859
 image

00:30:35.859 --> 00:30:36.500
 to guide

00:30:36.500 --> 00:30:36.660
 our

00:30:36.660 --> 00:30:37.039
 prayers

00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:37.240
 and

00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:37.879
 discernment

00:30:37.879 --> 00:30:39.220
 verse 12

00:30:39.220 --> 00:30:39.920
 it exercises

00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:40.420
 all the

00:30:40.420 --> 00:30:40.799
 authority

00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:41.079
 of the

00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:41.339
 first

00:30:41.339 --> 00:30:41.700
 beast

00:30:41.700 --> 00:30:42.139
 in its

00:30:42.139 --> 00:30:42.759
 presence

00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:43.440
 and makes

00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:43.819
 the earth

00:30:43.819 --> 00:30:44.099
 and its

00:30:44.099 --> 00:30:44.599
 inhabitants

00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:45.019
 worship

00:30:45.019 --> 00:30:45.559
 the first

00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:45.920
 beast

00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:46.440
 whose

00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:48.799
 death

00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:49.039
 wound

00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:49.440
 was healed

00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:49.819
 the third

00:30:49.819 --> 00:30:50.240
 time it

00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:51.139
 says it

00:30:51.139 --> 00:30:53.139
 yet the

00:30:53.139 --> 00:30:53.680
 second beast

00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:54.180
 performs

00:30:54.180 --> 00:30:55.019
 great signs

00:30:55.019 --> 00:30:55.319
 it's the

00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:55.680
 word for

00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:56.160
 miracles

00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:57.420
 even making

00:30:57.420 --> 00:30:58.160
 fire come

00:30:58.160 --> 00:30:58.660
 down from

00:30:58.660 --> 00:30:59.160
 heaven to

00:30:59.160 --> 00:30:59.519
 earth in

00:30:59.519 --> 00:30:59.759
 front of

00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:00.160
 the people

00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:00.720
 and by the

00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:01.119
 miracles

00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:01.479
 or the

00:31:01.479 --> 00:31:01.959
 signs that

00:31:01.959 --> 00:31:02.179
 it is

00:31:02.179 --> 00:31:02.639
 allowed to

00:31:02.639 --> 00:31:02.959
 work in

00:31:02.959 --> 00:31:03.399
 the presence

00:31:03.399 --> 00:31:03.719
 of the

00:31:03.719 --> 00:31:03.919
 beast

00:31:03.919 --> 00:31:04.559
 it deceives

00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:05.099
 those who

00:31:05.099 --> 00:31:05.619
 dwell on

00:31:05.619 --> 00:31:06.039
 the earth

00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:06.899
 telling them

00:31:06.899 --> 00:31:07.379
 to make an

00:31:07.379 --> 00:31:07.859
 image for

00:31:07.859 --> 00:31:08.239
 the beast

00:31:08.239 --> 00:31:08.599
 that was

00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:09.000
 wounded

00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:09.939
 fourth time

00:31:09.939 --> 00:31:10.359
 it says

00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:11.339
 that by

00:31:11.339 --> 00:31:11.799
 the sword

00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:12.099
 and yet

00:31:12.099 --> 00:31:12.500
 lived

00:31:12.500 --> 00:31:13.339
 and it

00:31:13.339 --> 00:31:13.739
 was allowed

00:31:13.739 --> 00:31:14.119
 to give

00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:14.559
 breath

00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:15.019
 to the

00:31:15.019 --> 00:31:15.439
 image

00:31:15.439 --> 00:31:15.839
 that's an

00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:16.139
 idol

00:31:16.139 --> 00:31:17.759
 of the

00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:18.039
 beast

00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:18.559
 so that

00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:19.199
 the image

00:31:19.199 --> 00:31:19.799
 the idol

00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:20.059
 of the

00:31:20.059 --> 00:31:20.259
 beast

00:31:20.259 --> 00:31:20.819
 might even

00:31:20.819 --> 00:31:21.359
 speak

00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:22.839
 might cause

00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:23.279
 those who

00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:23.579
 would not

00:31:23.579 --> 00:31:24.139
 worship the

00:31:24.139 --> 00:31:24.539
 image of

00:31:24.539 --> 00:31:24.859
 the beast

00:31:24.859 --> 00:31:25.379
 the idol

00:31:25.379 --> 00:31:26.119
 of the

00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:26.319
 beast

00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:26.919
 to be

00:31:26.919 --> 00:31:27.339
 slain

00:31:27.339 --> 00:31:28.919
 now

00:31:28.919 --> 00:31:30.980
 so what's

00:31:30.980 --> 00:31:31.399
 what's going

00:31:31.399 --> 00:31:31.679
 on

00:31:31.679 --> 00:31:32.740
 here's

00:31:32.740 --> 00:31:33.359
 the point

00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:33.919
 and if you

00:31:33.919 --> 00:31:34.299
 could put it

00:31:34.299 --> 00:31:34.679
 up on the

00:31:34.679 --> 00:31:35.000
 screen

00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:37.399
 Jesus truly

00:31:37.399 --> 00:31:38.619
 died on the

00:31:38.619 --> 00:31:39.079
 cross

00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:40.539
 and truly

00:31:40.539 --> 00:31:41.699
 defeated evil

00:31:41.699 --> 00:31:42.259
 and death

00:31:42.259 --> 00:31:43.079
 and every

00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:43.579
 hostile

00:31:43.579 --> 00:31:44.740
 spiritual power

00:31:44.740 --> 00:31:46.220
 he did not

00:31:46.220 --> 00:31:46.699
 die

00:31:46.699 --> 00:31:47.980
 only to die

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:48.379
 again

00:31:48.379 --> 00:31:50.019
 he did not

00:31:50.019 --> 00:31:50.519
 die

00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:51.459
 to live a

00:31:51.459 --> 00:31:52.139
 living death

00:31:52.140 --> 00:32:10.220
 some of you

00:32:10.220 --> 00:32:10.540
 have heard

00:32:10.540 --> 00:32:11.280
 this illustration

00:32:11.280 --> 00:32:11.700
 before

00:32:11.700 --> 00:32:12.180
 it's one of

00:32:12.180 --> 00:32:12.660
 my favorite

00:32:12.660 --> 00:32:13.220
 illustrations

00:32:13.220 --> 00:32:13.800
 about what

00:32:13.800 --> 00:32:14.520
 one of the

00:32:14.520 --> 00:32:14.880
 things which

00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:15.400
 is involved

00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:16.360
 in salvation

00:32:16.360 --> 00:32:17.820
 and that's

00:32:17.820 --> 00:32:18.400
 the story

00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:19.220
 a true

00:32:19.220 --> 00:32:19.720
 story

00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:20.820
 happened

00:32:20.820 --> 00:32:21.340
 quite a few

00:32:21.340 --> 00:32:21.720
 years ago

00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:22.100
 I think I

00:32:22.100 --> 00:32:22.480
 had four

00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:22.779
 or five

00:32:22.779 --> 00:32:23.200
 kids at

00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:23.559
 the time

00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:24.100
 four kids

00:32:24.100 --> 00:32:24.400
 I think

00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:24.680
 they're all

00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:25.200
 very young

00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:26.200
 and I was

00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:26.480
 up in

00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:26.960
 Eganville

00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:27.279
 where I

00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:27.640
 was the

00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:28.180
 pastor

00:32:28.180 --> 00:32:29.039
 and my

00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:29.500
 wife was

00:32:29.500 --> 00:32:30.420
 down in

00:32:30.420 --> 00:32:30.759
 Ottawa

00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:32.460
 visiting her

00:32:32.460 --> 00:32:32.819
 mother in

00:32:32.819 --> 00:32:33.240
 the glebe

00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:34.519
 and Louise

00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:35.120
 woke up in

00:32:35.120 --> 00:32:35.360
 the middle

00:32:35.360 --> 00:32:35.779
 of the night

00:32:35.779 --> 00:32:36.140
 three or

00:32:36.140 --> 00:32:36.620
 four o'clock

00:32:36.620 --> 00:32:36.860
 in the

00:32:36.860 --> 00:32:37.100
 morning

00:32:37.100 --> 00:32:37.420
 with a

00:32:37.420 --> 00:32:37.799
 sense that

00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:38.059
 something

00:32:38.059 --> 00:32:38.680
 was wrong

00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:40.559
 and her

00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:41.039
 mother lived

00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:41.420
 in a big

00:32:41.420 --> 00:32:41.880
 old three

00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:42.740
 story glebe

00:32:42.740 --> 00:32:43.180
 house

00:32:43.180 --> 00:32:44.339
 and Louise

00:32:44.339 --> 00:32:44.819
 had a sense

00:32:44.819 --> 00:32:45.240
 that something

00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:45.839
 was wrong

00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:46.339
 and she

00:32:46.339 --> 00:32:46.640
 went to

00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:47.079
 the door

00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:47.559
 and she

00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:47.839
 opened the

00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:48.039
 door and

00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:48.360
 the hallway

00:32:48.360 --> 00:32:48.779
 was filled

00:32:48.779 --> 00:32:49.339
 with smoke

00:32:49.339 --> 00:32:50.599
 and in

00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:51.059
 fact the

00:32:51.059 --> 00:32:51.500
 entire

00:32:51.500 --> 00:32:52.079
 ground floor

00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:52.259
 of the

00:32:52.259 --> 00:32:52.659
 house was

00:32:52.659 --> 00:32:53.259
 completely

00:32:53.259 --> 00:32:53.819
 consumed

00:32:53.819 --> 00:32:54.379
 in fire

00:32:54.379 --> 00:32:57.899
 and I

00:32:57.899 --> 00:32:58.319
 was up in

00:32:58.319 --> 00:32:58.679
 Eganville

00:32:58.679 --> 00:32:58.919
 I didn't

00:32:58.919 --> 00:32:59.240
 know anything

00:32:59.240 --> 00:32:59.879
 about this

00:32:59.879 --> 00:33:00.899
 Louise

00:33:00.899 --> 00:33:02.179
 looked around

00:33:02.179 --> 00:33:02.779
 they couldn't

00:33:02.779 --> 00:33:03.099
 get out of

00:33:03.099 --> 00:33:03.619
 one window

00:33:03.619 --> 00:33:04.019
 but there

00:33:04.019 --> 00:33:04.419
 was another

00:33:04.419 --> 00:33:04.859
 window

00:33:04.859 --> 00:33:06.299
 she went

00:33:06.299 --> 00:33:06.579
 and woke

00:33:06.579 --> 00:33:06.879
 up her

00:33:06.879 --> 00:33:07.059
 mother

00:33:07.059 --> 00:33:07.659
 she gathered

00:33:07.659 --> 00:33:08.599
 our very

00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:09.359
 very young

00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:09.959
 children at

00:33:09.959 --> 00:33:10.399
 the time

00:33:10.399 --> 00:33:11.500
 and she

00:33:11.500 --> 00:33:11.839
 was able

00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:12.240
 to open

00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:12.679
 the window

00:33:12.679 --> 00:33:13.459
 she's young

00:33:13.459 --> 00:33:14.419
 and healthy

00:33:14.420 --> 00:33:15.900
 and she's

00:33:15.900 --> 00:33:16.340
 able to

00:33:16.340 --> 00:33:17.560
 outside of

00:33:17.560 --> 00:33:17.900
 the window

00:33:17.900 --> 00:33:18.539
 sort of a

00:33:18.539 --> 00:33:19.279
 couple of

00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:19.620
 feet to

00:33:19.620 --> 00:33:20.480
 the right

00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:22.720
 there's

00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:23.400
 a couple

00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:23.680
 of feet

00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:24.039
 down

00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:24.500
 there's a

00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:24.980
 slanting

00:33:24.980 --> 00:33:25.580
 roof of

00:33:25.580 --> 00:33:26.039
 a shed

00:33:26.039 --> 00:33:27.320
 and she

00:33:27.320 --> 00:33:27.920
 figures that

00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:28.380
 she can

00:33:28.380 --> 00:33:29.120
 get from

00:33:29.120 --> 00:33:29.519
 the window

00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:29.880
 to the

00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:30.220
 shed

00:33:30.220 --> 00:33:30.940
 and from

00:33:30.940 --> 00:33:31.820
 that position

00:33:31.820 --> 00:33:33.160
 with some

00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:33.740
 effort she

00:33:33.740 --> 00:33:34.060
 would be

00:33:34.060 --> 00:33:34.480
 able to

00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:35.320
 help the

00:33:35.320 --> 00:33:35.740
 children

00:33:35.740 --> 00:33:36.279
 get the

00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:36.680
 children

00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:37.660
 and bring

00:33:37.660 --> 00:33:38.120
 the children

00:33:38.120 --> 00:33:38.620
 to the top

00:33:38.620 --> 00:33:38.980
 of the shed

00:33:38.980 --> 00:33:39.259
 and then

00:33:39.259 --> 00:33:39.720
 help her

00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:40.220
 mother who

00:33:40.220 --> 00:33:41.380
 was older

00:33:41.380 --> 00:33:42.220
 over to

00:33:42.220 --> 00:33:42.500
 the shed

00:33:42.500 --> 00:33:42.900
 as well

00:33:42.900 --> 00:33:44.400
 and so

00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:45.720
 she got

00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:46.500
 herself to

00:33:46.500 --> 00:33:47.019
 safety

00:33:47.019 --> 00:33:48.560
 and from

00:33:48.560 --> 00:33:49.259
 that position

00:33:49.259 --> 00:33:49.940
 of safety

00:33:49.940 --> 00:33:50.580
 she reaches

00:33:50.580 --> 00:33:51.240
 across the

00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:52.200
 gap to

00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:52.700
 the place

00:33:52.700 --> 00:33:53.200
 for which

00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:53.780
 the flames

00:33:53.780 --> 00:33:54.300
 are coming

00:33:54.300 --> 00:33:55.500
 and is able

00:33:55.500 --> 00:33:55.900
 to bring

00:33:55.900 --> 00:33:56.300
 each of the

00:33:56.300 --> 00:33:56.980
 children over

00:33:56.980 --> 00:33:58.820
 to the shed

00:33:58.820 --> 00:33:59.480
 down to the

00:33:59.480 --> 00:33:59.740
 ground

00:33:59.740 --> 00:34:01.340
 and all

00:34:01.340 --> 00:34:01.540
 of them

00:34:01.540 --> 00:34:01.740
 in the

00:34:01.740 --> 00:34:02.000
 house

00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:03.519
 Louise is

00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:03.840
 here at

00:34:03.840 --> 00:34:04.240
 church today

00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:04.620
 so she's

00:34:04.620 --> 00:34:04.980
 obviously

00:34:04.980 --> 00:34:05.720
 still alive

00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:06.560
 so it

00:34:06.560 --> 00:34:07.160
 worked out

00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:07.420
 and I'm

00:34:07.420 --> 00:34:07.780
 very very

00:34:07.780 --> 00:34:08.460
 thankful for

00:34:08.460 --> 00:34:08.619
 it

00:34:08.619 --> 00:34:09.619
 that's a

00:34:09.619 --> 00:34:10.019
 very very

00:34:10.019 --> 00:34:10.280
 good

00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:10.880
 illustration

00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:11.360
 of one

00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:11.660
 of the

00:34:11.660 --> 00:34:12.579
 great truths

00:34:12.579 --> 00:34:12.900
 of the

00:34:12.900 --> 00:34:13.380
 gospel

00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:14.679
 in the

00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:15.059
 gospel

00:34:15.059 --> 00:34:15.759
 we believe

00:34:15.759 --> 00:34:16.380
 that Jesus

00:34:16.380 --> 00:34:17.559
 truly died

00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:18.199
 that he

00:34:18.199 --> 00:34:18.920
 truly died

00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:19.380
 upon the

00:34:19.380 --> 00:34:19.779
 cross

00:34:19.779 --> 00:34:20.179
 that he

00:34:20.179 --> 00:34:20.980
 truly died

00:34:20.980 --> 00:34:21.420
 upon the

00:34:21.420 --> 00:34:21.819
 cross

00:34:21.819 --> 00:34:22.659
 and he

00:34:22.659 --> 00:34:22.980
 tasted

00:34:22.980 --> 00:34:23.539
 everything

00:34:23.539 --> 00:34:23.960
 there is

00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:24.360
 to taste

00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:24.799
 of death

00:34:24.799 --> 00:34:25.099
 without

00:34:25.099 --> 00:34:25.599
 anything

00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:26.400
 left over

00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:27.059
 whatever

00:34:27.059 --> 00:34:27.599
 death

00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:28.079
 is

00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:28.699
 Jesus

00:34:28.699 --> 00:34:29.279
 tasted

00:34:29.279 --> 00:34:29.559
 it

00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:30.219
 and on

00:34:30.219 --> 00:34:30.699
 the third

00:34:30.699 --> 00:34:31.059
 day

00:34:31.059 --> 00:34:32.099
 he emerged

00:34:32.099 --> 00:34:32.500
 on the

00:34:32.500 --> 00:34:33.239
 far side

00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:33.739
 of death

00:34:33.739 --> 00:34:34.179
 having

00:34:34.179 --> 00:34:34.860
 completely

00:34:34.860 --> 00:34:35.420
 and utterly

00:34:35.420 --> 00:34:35.980
 defeated

00:34:35.980 --> 00:34:36.380
 death

00:34:36.380 --> 00:34:37.259
 and one

00:34:37.259 --> 00:34:37.460
 of the

00:34:37.460 --> 00:34:37.659
 things

00:34:37.659 --> 00:34:38.159
 that happens

00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:38.480
 on the

00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:38.960
 cross

00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:39.400
 is that

00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:39.759
 Jesus

00:34:39.759 --> 00:34:40.400
 is able

00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:40.980
 to reach

00:34:40.980 --> 00:34:41.500
 across

00:34:41.500 --> 00:34:42.219
 that vast

00:34:42.219 --> 00:34:42.659
 divide

00:34:42.659 --> 00:34:43.199
 of death

00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:44.079
 and reach

00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:44.719
 his hands

00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:45.059
 out

00:34:45.059 --> 00:34:45.840
 and those

00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:46.199
 of us

00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:46.900
 who cannot

00:34:46.900 --> 00:34:47.480
 escape

00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:48.019
 death

00:34:48.019 --> 00:34:49.260
 cannot

00:34:49.260 --> 00:34:49.820
 escape

00:34:49.820 --> 00:34:50.219
 death

00:34:50.219 --> 00:34:51.260
 we put

00:34:51.260 --> 00:34:51.900
 our hands

00:34:51.900 --> 00:34:52.099
 out

00:34:52.099 --> 00:34:52.659
 and Jesus

00:34:52.659 --> 00:34:53.300
 his hands

00:34:53.300 --> 00:34:54.159
 reach farther

00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:55.099
 to us

00:34:55.099 --> 00:34:56.000
 and if we

00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:56.460
 put our

00:34:56.460 --> 00:34:56.980
 hands out

00:34:56.980 --> 00:34:58.039
 his strong

00:34:58.039 --> 00:34:58.719
 hands

00:34:58.719 --> 00:34:59.500
 does what

00:34:59.500 --> 00:35:00.079
 we cannot

00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:00.840
 do by

00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:01.400
 ourselves

00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:01.820
 or in

00:35:01.820 --> 00:35:02.059
 and of

00:35:02.059 --> 00:35:02.480
 ourselves

00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:03.320
 and takes

00:35:03.320 --> 00:35:03.739
 us through

00:35:03.739 --> 00:35:04.119
 death

00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:04.639
 to the

00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:04.880
 other

00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:05.380
 side

00:35:05.380 --> 00:35:05.980
 where he

00:35:05.980 --> 00:35:06.739
 is completely

00:35:06.739 --> 00:35:07.480
 and utterly

00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:08.099
 defeated

00:35:08.099 --> 00:35:08.679
 death

00:35:08.679 --> 00:35:09.839
 and that

00:35:09.839 --> 00:35:10.279
 is what

00:35:10.279 --> 00:35:10.679
 Jesus

00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:11.359
 is doing

00:35:11.359 --> 00:35:12.079
 for ordinary

00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:12.619
 people

00:35:12.619 --> 00:35:13.279
 like you

00:35:13.279 --> 00:35:13.579
 and me

00:35:13.579 --> 00:35:14.379
 that song

00:35:14.379 --> 00:35:14.599
 that we

00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:14.819
 sang

00:35:14.819 --> 00:35:15.159
 the last

00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:15.399
 song

00:35:15.399 --> 00:35:15.619
 that we

00:35:15.619 --> 00:35:15.839
 sang

00:35:15.839 --> 00:35:16.539
 for thieves

00:35:16.539 --> 00:35:16.859
 for the

00:35:16.859 --> 00:35:17.179
 poor

00:35:17.179 --> 00:35:17.539
 for the

00:35:17.539 --> 00:35:18.000
 powerless

00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:18.480
 for the

00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:18.779
 rich

00:35:18.779 --> 00:35:19.119
 for the

00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:19.579
 powerful

00:35:19.579 --> 00:35:20.399
 for every

00:35:20.399 --> 00:35:20.980
 human being

00:35:20.980 --> 00:35:21.519
 death

00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:22.379
 defeats

00:35:22.379 --> 00:35:22.659
 us

00:35:22.659 --> 00:35:23.159
 all

00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:24.179
 and the

00:35:24.179 --> 00:35:24.759
 Christian

00:35:24.759 --> 00:35:25.319
 claim

00:35:25.319 --> 00:35:25.799
 is that

00:35:25.799 --> 00:35:26.219
 Jesus

00:35:26.219 --> 00:35:26.839
 defeats

00:35:26.839 --> 00:35:27.239
 death

00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:28.059
 on our

00:35:28.059 --> 00:35:28.500
 behalf

00:35:28.500 --> 00:35:29.980
 and if

00:35:29.980 --> 00:35:30.679
 we humbly

00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:31.119
 put our

00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:31.599
 faith and

00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:32.059
 trust in

00:35:32.059 --> 00:35:32.219
 him

00:35:32.219 --> 00:35:32.919
 he will

00:35:32.919 --> 00:35:33.419
 take us

00:35:33.419 --> 00:35:33.719
 to the

00:35:33.719 --> 00:35:34.199
 far side

00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:34.579
 of death

00:35:34.579 --> 00:35:35.239
 where death

00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:35.659
 has no

00:35:35.659 --> 00:35:36.000
 longer

00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:36.659
 any hold

00:35:36.659 --> 00:35:37.239
 on us

00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:38.419
 that's

00:35:38.419 --> 00:35:38.719
 what my

00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:39.139
 wife did

00:35:39.139 --> 00:35:39.419
 to the

00:35:39.419 --> 00:35:39.779
 children

00:35:39.779 --> 00:35:40.659
 and to

00:35:40.659 --> 00:35:40.799
 her

00:35:40.799 --> 00:35:41.059
 mother

00:35:41.059 --> 00:35:43.479
 and that's

00:35:43.479 --> 00:35:43.879
 to see why

00:35:43.879 --> 00:35:44.339
 we worship

00:35:44.339 --> 00:35:44.759
 Jesus

00:35:44.759 --> 00:35:45.179
 and not

00:35:45.179 --> 00:35:45.899
 Lazarus

00:35:45.899 --> 00:35:47.519
 Lazarus

00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:47.919
 was dead

00:35:47.919 --> 00:35:48.439
 for four

00:35:48.439 --> 00:35:48.759
 days

00:35:48.759 --> 00:35:49.139
 longer

00:35:49.139 --> 00:35:49.399
 than

00:35:49.399 --> 00:35:49.799
 Jesus

00:35:49.799 --> 00:35:50.759
 but

00:35:50.759 --> 00:35:51.279
 Jesus

00:35:51.279 --> 00:35:52.919
 Lazarus

00:35:52.919 --> 00:35:53.279
 doesn't

00:35:53.279 --> 00:35:53.659
 cause

00:35:53.659 --> 00:35:54.079
 himself

00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:54.459
 to come

00:35:54.459 --> 00:35:54.699
 back

00:35:54.699 --> 00:35:55.079
 to life

00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:55.539
 Jesus

00:35:55.539 --> 00:35:56.139
 calls

00:35:56.139 --> 00:35:56.679
 Lazarus

00:35:56.679 --> 00:35:56.919
 back

00:35:56.919 --> 00:35:57.299
 to life

00:35:57.299 --> 00:35:57.500
 but

00:35:57.500 --> 00:35:58.159
 Lazarus

00:35:58.159 --> 00:35:58.619
 emerges

00:35:58.619 --> 00:35:59.000
 into

00:35:59.000 --> 00:35:59.279
 death

00:35:59.279 --> 00:36:00.000
 and returns

00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:00.419
 to this

00:36:00.419 --> 00:36:00.679
 side

00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:01.139
 of death

00:36:01.139 --> 00:36:02.059
 death

00:36:02.059 --> 00:36:02.659
 he will

00:36:02.659 --> 00:36:02.919
 still

00:36:02.919 --> 00:36:03.199
 have

00:36:03.199 --> 00:36:03.699
 to die

00:36:03.699 --> 00:36:04.659
 remember

00:36:04.659 --> 00:36:04.959
 in the

00:36:04.959 --> 00:36:05.219
 point

00:36:05.219 --> 00:36:05.500
 I think

00:36:05.500 --> 00:36:06.099
 it's still

00:36:06.099 --> 00:36:06.419
 up on

00:36:06.419 --> 00:36:06.779
 the screen

00:36:06.779 --> 00:36:07.059
 what am

00:36:07.059 --> 00:36:07.440
 I saying

00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:07.719
 that the

00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:07.960
 Bible

00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:08.340
 teaches

00:36:08.340 --> 00:36:08.840
 that Jesus

00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:09.239
 truly

00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:09.599
 died

00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:09.860
 on the

00:36:09.860 --> 00:36:10.159
 cross

00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:10.599
 and truly

00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:11.019
 defeated

00:36:11.019 --> 00:36:11.400
 evil

00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:11.820
 and death

00:36:11.820 --> 00:36:12.219
 and every

00:36:12.219 --> 00:36:12.659
 hostile

00:36:12.659 --> 00:36:13.219
 spiritual

00:36:13.219 --> 00:36:13.679
 power

00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:14.599
 he did

00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:15.299
 not die

00:36:15.299 --> 00:36:15.920
 only to

00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:16.639
 die again

00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:17.639
 he is not

00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:18.259
 Lazarus

00:36:18.259 --> 00:36:18.759
 that's why we

00:36:18.759 --> 00:36:19.239
 don't worship

00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:19.739
 Lazarus

00:36:19.739 --> 00:36:20.219
 we worship

00:36:20.219 --> 00:36:20.659
 Jesus

00:36:20.659 --> 00:36:21.199
 that's why we

00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:21.659
 don't trust

00:36:21.659 --> 00:36:22.179
 Lazarus

00:36:22.179 --> 00:36:22.860
 we trust

00:36:22.860 --> 00:36:23.239
 Jesus

00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:23.619
 that's why

00:36:23.619 --> 00:36:23.940
 we don't

00:36:23.940 --> 00:36:24.360
 trust the

00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:24.719
 widow of

00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:25.099
 name's

00:36:25.099 --> 00:36:25.299
 son

00:36:25.299 --> 00:36:26.039
 we trust

00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:26.639
 Jesus

00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:31.079
 but what

00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:31.440
 about

00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:32.639
 the beast

00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:34.139
 well

00:36:34.139 --> 00:36:34.559
 here's

00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:34.819
 where the

00:36:34.819 --> 00:36:35.299
 analogy

00:36:35.299 --> 00:36:35.759
 of

00:36:35.759 --> 00:36:36.119
 Louise

00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:36.579
 doesn't

00:36:36.579 --> 00:36:37.019
 doesn't

00:36:37.019 --> 00:36:37.400
 work

00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:38.699
 doesn't

00:36:38.699 --> 00:36:39.019
 work

00:36:39.019 --> 00:36:40.379
 because you

00:36:40.379 --> 00:36:40.779
 see

00:36:40.779 --> 00:36:43.159
 what happens

00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:44.159
 is that

00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:44.879
 we Christians

00:36:44.879 --> 00:36:45.480
 understand

00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:46.920
 that what

00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:47.719
 Jesus does

00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:48.039
 on the

00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:48.639
 cross

00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:50.359
 is deals

00:36:50.359 --> 00:36:51.039
 with that

00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:51.980
 which causes

00:36:51.980 --> 00:36:52.599
 death

00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:53.539
 and all

00:36:53.539 --> 00:36:53.879
 of our

00:36:53.879 --> 00:36:54.559
 bondage

00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:55.559
 and alienation

00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:56.239
 from God

00:36:56.239 --> 00:36:57.820
 that on

00:36:57.820 --> 00:36:58.380
 the cross

00:36:58.380 --> 00:36:59.000
 remember last

00:36:59.000 --> 00:36:59.739
 week I said

00:36:59.739 --> 00:37:00.000
 there were

00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:00.659
 six words

00:37:00.659 --> 00:37:01.099
 for the rest

00:37:01.099 --> 00:37:01.360
 of our

00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:01.659
 life

00:37:01.659 --> 00:37:03.679
 in my

00:37:03.679 --> 00:37:04.500
 place

00:37:04.500 --> 00:37:05.659
 condemned

00:37:05.659 --> 00:37:06.380
 he

00:37:06.380 --> 00:37:07.119
 stood

00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:09.759
 in my

00:37:09.759 --> 00:37:10.579
 place

00:37:10.579 --> 00:37:11.840
 condemned

00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:12.579
 he

00:37:12.579 --> 00:37:13.139
 stood

00:37:13.139 --> 00:37:15.299
 after the

00:37:15.299 --> 00:37:15.900
 sermon last

00:37:15.900 --> 00:37:16.199
 week I

00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:16.539
 looked it up

00:37:16.539 --> 00:37:17.079
 it's from

00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:17.639
 a title of

00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:18.079
 a book by

00:37:18.079 --> 00:37:18.840
 Jim Packer

00:37:18.840 --> 00:37:19.179
 and Mark

00:37:19.179 --> 00:37:19.500
 Deaver

00:37:19.500 --> 00:37:19.960
 and they

00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:20.320
 get the

00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:20.699
 word from

00:37:20.699 --> 00:37:21.099
 an old

00:37:21.099 --> 00:37:21.460
 hymn

00:37:21.460 --> 00:37:22.320
 it's a

00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:22.699
 line in

00:37:22.699 --> 00:37:22.980
 an old

00:37:22.980 --> 00:37:23.239
 hymn

00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:24.219
 in my

00:37:24.219 --> 00:37:24.820
 place

00:37:24.820 --> 00:37:25.539
 condemned

00:37:25.539 --> 00:37:26.400
 he

00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:27.039
 stood

00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:28.219
 so on

00:37:28.219 --> 00:37:28.900
 the cross

00:37:28.900 --> 00:37:29.739
 Jesus

00:37:29.739 --> 00:37:31.039
 by his

00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:31.679
 offering

00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:32.360
 of himself

00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:33.559
 taking

00:37:33.559 --> 00:37:34.039
 into

00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:34.599
 himself

00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:35.119
 my

00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:36.019
 condemnation

00:37:36.019 --> 00:37:36.340
 my

00:37:36.340 --> 00:37:36.719
 doom

00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:37.820
 he

00:37:37.820 --> 00:37:38.380
 deals

00:37:38.380 --> 00:37:39.340
 with

00:37:39.340 --> 00:37:39.820
 evil

00:37:39.820 --> 00:37:40.500
 he

00:37:40.500 --> 00:37:40.940
 deals

00:37:40.940 --> 00:37:41.420
 with my

00:37:41.420 --> 00:37:41.940
 separation

00:37:41.940 --> 00:37:42.759
 and alienation

00:37:42.759 --> 00:37:43.380
 from God

00:37:43.380 --> 00:37:44.539
 and he

00:37:44.539 --> 00:37:45.199
 deals

00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:46.119
 with

00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:46.960
 all

00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:47.820
 accusations

00:37:47.820 --> 00:37:48.800
 or condemnation

00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:49.119
 that could

00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:49.679
 come against

00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:50.019
 me

00:37:50.019 --> 00:37:50.559
 or any

00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:50.940
 of you

00:37:50.940 --> 00:37:51.579
 because

00:37:51.579 --> 00:37:52.460
 of my

00:37:52.460 --> 00:37:52.820
 sin

00:37:52.820 --> 00:37:53.119
 and my

00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:53.460
 rebellion

00:37:53.460 --> 00:37:53.880
 against

00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:54.260
 God

00:37:54.260 --> 00:37:55.760
 and

00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:56.960
 then when

00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:57.840
 he rises

00:37:57.840 --> 00:37:58.380
 from the

00:37:58.380 --> 00:37:58.680
 dead

00:37:58.680 --> 00:37:59.160
 it's a

00:37:59.160 --> 00:38:00.160
 true act

00:38:00.160 --> 00:38:00.720
 of victory

00:38:00.720 --> 00:38:01.640
 he has

00:38:01.640 --> 00:38:02.140
 defeated

00:38:02.140 --> 00:38:02.740
 sin and

00:38:02.740 --> 00:38:02.960
 death

00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:03.260
 and all

00:38:03.260 --> 00:38:03.760
 hostile

00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:04.640
 spiritual

00:38:04.640 --> 00:38:05.260
 powers

00:38:05.260 --> 00:38:05.860
 tasted

00:38:05.860 --> 00:38:06.440
 all there is

00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:06.780
 to taste

00:38:06.780 --> 00:38:07.140
 of death

00:38:07.140 --> 00:38:07.700
 all there is

00:38:07.700 --> 00:38:08.039
 to taste

00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:08.500
 of evil

00:38:08.500 --> 00:38:09.140
 all there is

00:38:09.140 --> 00:38:09.480
 to taste

00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:10.320
 of condemnation

00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:10.640
 and he

00:38:10.640 --> 00:38:11.119
 emerges

00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:11.660
 on the

00:38:11.660 --> 00:38:12.320
 far side

00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:13.119
 completely

00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:13.700
 and utterly

00:38:13.700 --> 00:38:14.480
 triumphant

00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:16.539
 but here

00:38:16.539 --> 00:38:17.519
 the beast

00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:18.619
 is a

00:38:18.619 --> 00:38:19.119
 living

00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:19.780
 death

00:38:19.780 --> 00:38:22.059
 he is

00:38:22.059 --> 00:38:22.699
 alive

00:38:22.699 --> 00:38:23.460
 a type

00:38:23.460 --> 00:38:23.980
 of life

00:38:23.980 --> 00:38:25.539
 but it

00:38:25.539 --> 00:38:26.139
 is not

00:38:26.139 --> 00:38:26.679
 a life

00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:27.059
 that is

00:38:27.059 --> 00:38:27.340
 dealt

00:38:27.340 --> 00:38:28.139
 with hostile

00:38:28.139 --> 00:38:28.740
 spiritual

00:38:28.740 --> 00:38:29.380
 powers

00:38:29.380 --> 00:38:30.320
 it is

00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:30.740
 not

00:38:30.740 --> 00:38:31.280
 a new

00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:31.619
 life

00:38:31.619 --> 00:38:31.980
 that is

00:38:31.980 --> 00:38:32.280
 dealt

00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:32.539
 with

00:38:32.539 --> 00:38:32.980
 evil

00:38:32.980 --> 00:38:34.519
 it is

00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:35.119
 a life

00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:36.440
 deepening

00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:37.519
 in evil

00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:39.820
 deepening

00:38:39.820 --> 00:38:42.159
 in accusation

00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:43.219
 and condemnation

00:38:43.219 --> 00:38:45.000
 deepening

00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:46.480
 in rebellion

00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:47.440
 against God

00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:50.559
 it is

00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:51.239
 closer to

00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:51.879
 what we

00:38:51.879 --> 00:38:52.500
 understand

00:38:52.500 --> 00:38:53.579
 in popular

00:38:53.579 --> 00:38:54.139
 parlance

00:38:54.139 --> 00:38:55.480
 of dying

00:38:55.480 --> 00:38:55.920
 to become

00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:56.519
 a zombie

00:38:56.519 --> 00:38:59.219
 than dying

00:38:59.219 --> 00:39:00.079
 for new

00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:00.460
 life

00:39:00.460 --> 00:39:02.960
 it is

00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:04.319
 a death

00:39:04.319 --> 00:39:05.259
 and a life

00:39:05.259 --> 00:39:06.159
 that deepens

00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:07.179
 us in death

00:39:07.179 --> 00:39:09.079
 and deepens

00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:09.699
 us under

00:39:09.699 --> 00:39:10.399
 the control

00:39:10.399 --> 00:39:11.139
 of hostile

00:39:11.139 --> 00:39:11.739
 spiritual

00:39:11.739 --> 00:39:12.439
 powers

00:39:12.439 --> 00:39:13.619
 the same

00:39:13.619 --> 00:39:14.179
 dragon

00:39:14.179 --> 00:39:14.739
 that sought

00:39:14.739 --> 00:39:15.399
 to devour

00:39:15.399 --> 00:39:16.079
 the child

00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:17.119
 is the

00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:17.439
 guiding

00:39:17.439 --> 00:39:18.079
 principle

00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:18.959
 of the

00:39:18.959 --> 00:39:19.139
 new

00:39:19.139 --> 00:39:19.579
 life

00:39:19.579 --> 00:39:23.159
 Jesus

00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:24.579
 defeats

00:39:24.579 --> 00:39:25.119
 the beast

00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:25.799
 all the way

00:39:25.799 --> 00:39:26.099
 through the

00:39:26.099 --> 00:39:26.479
 language

00:39:26.479 --> 00:39:27.079
 the language

00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:27.359
 of the

00:39:27.359 --> 00:39:27.939
 whole text

00:39:27.939 --> 00:39:28.379
 is one

00:39:28.379 --> 00:39:28.779
 of having

00:39:28.779 --> 00:39:29.199
 Jesus

00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:29.799
 defeating

00:39:29.799 --> 00:39:30.879
 the beast

00:39:30.879 --> 00:39:31.479
 defeating

00:39:31.479 --> 00:39:31.879
 the demon

00:39:31.879 --> 00:39:32.719
 but the

00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:33.119
 death and

00:39:33.119 --> 00:39:33.459
 resurrection

00:39:33.459 --> 00:39:34.059
 of Jesus

00:39:34.059 --> 00:39:35.139
 is radically

00:39:35.139 --> 00:39:35.699
 radically

00:39:35.699 --> 00:39:36.159
 different

00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:36.619
 than what's

00:39:36.619 --> 00:39:37.219
 being discussed

00:39:37.219 --> 00:39:37.500
 here

00:39:37.500 --> 00:39:38.199
 even

00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:38.799
 miracles

00:39:38.799 --> 00:39:40.219
 the Christian

00:39:40.219 --> 00:39:40.719
 arguments

00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:41.399
 about miracles

00:39:41.400 --> 00:39:42.400
 are a defeat

00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:43.480
 it's to argue

00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:44.579
 against naturalism

00:39:44.579 --> 00:39:45.500
 it's a philosophical

00:39:45.500 --> 00:39:45.920
 term

00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:47.300
 it's an argument

00:39:47.300 --> 00:39:48.340
 against naturalism

00:39:48.340 --> 00:39:49.320
 and atheism

00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:50.700
 but it's not a claim

00:39:50.700 --> 00:39:51.380
 that all Christians

00:39:51.380 --> 00:39:52.340
 don't claim that only

00:39:52.340 --> 00:39:53.700
 God performs miracles

00:39:53.700 --> 00:39:54.519
 that all miracles

00:39:54.519 --> 00:39:55.139
 point to God

00:39:55.139 --> 00:39:55.960
 that's not a Christian

00:39:55.960 --> 00:39:56.420
 claim

00:39:56.420 --> 00:39:57.760
 Christians accept

00:39:57.760 --> 00:39:58.500
 the fact that

00:39:58.500 --> 00:39:59.720
 demons can do

00:39:59.720 --> 00:40:01.099
 things which can't

00:40:01.099 --> 00:40:02.000
 be accounted for

00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:03.160
 purely by natural

00:40:03.160 --> 00:40:03.680
 means

00:40:03.680 --> 00:40:06.059
 the point isn't

00:40:06.059 --> 00:40:06.579
 whether or not

00:40:06.579 --> 00:40:07.500
 something happens

00:40:07.500 --> 00:40:08.660
 according to natural

00:40:08.660 --> 00:40:09.320
 means or not

00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:10.080
 the point is

00:40:10.080 --> 00:40:11.039
 does it point

00:40:11.039 --> 00:40:11.519
 us to the

00:40:11.519 --> 00:40:11.960
 lamb

00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:12.820
 or does it

00:40:12.820 --> 00:40:13.240
 point us

00:40:13.240 --> 00:40:13.920
 to the dragon

00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:15.180
 does it point

00:40:15.180 --> 00:40:15.920
 us and reconcile

00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:16.880
 us to God

00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:18.039
 or does it

00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:19.059
 deepen us

00:40:19.059 --> 00:40:19.940
 in our rebellion

00:40:19.940 --> 00:40:20.980
 against God

00:40:20.980 --> 00:40:21.740
 does it bring us

00:40:21.740 --> 00:40:22.340
 to life

00:40:22.340 --> 00:40:23.080
 or does it

00:40:23.080 --> 00:40:23.400
 bring us

00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:23.920
 to death

00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:25.300
 that's the

00:40:25.300 --> 00:40:25.820
 point

00:40:25.820 --> 00:40:26.900
 of the miracles

00:40:26.900 --> 00:40:27.640
 it's why they

00:40:27.640 --> 00:40:28.340
 have to be

00:40:28.340 --> 00:40:29.180
 discerned

00:40:29.180 --> 00:40:31.039
 and so the

00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:31.980
 takeaway for us

00:40:31.980 --> 00:40:32.680
 the take home

00:40:32.680 --> 00:40:33.080
 for us

00:40:33.080 --> 00:40:33.460
 is that

00:40:33.460 --> 00:40:34.200
 if Jesus

00:40:34.200 --> 00:40:34.800
 truly died

00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:35.300
 on the cross

00:40:35.300 --> 00:40:35.660
 and truly

00:40:35.660 --> 00:40:36.380
 defeated evil

00:40:36.380 --> 00:40:36.740
 and death

00:40:36.739 --> 00:40:37.459
 in every hostile

00:40:37.459 --> 00:40:38.379
 spiritual power

00:40:38.379 --> 00:40:39.579
 he did not die

00:40:39.579 --> 00:40:40.559
 only to die again

00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:41.459
 he did not die

00:40:41.459 --> 00:40:42.079
 to live a living

00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:42.359
 death

00:40:42.359 --> 00:40:43.399
 the implication

00:40:43.399 --> 00:40:44.179
 for us is this

00:40:44.179 --> 00:40:44.859
 dear God

00:40:44.859 --> 00:40:46.099
 I thank you

00:40:46.099 --> 00:40:46.639
 that Jesus

00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:47.379
 is the lamb

00:40:47.379 --> 00:40:48.099
 who was slain

00:40:48.099 --> 00:40:49.179
 I thank you

00:40:49.179 --> 00:40:49.719
 that because

00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:50.679
 of his sacrificial

00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:51.079
 death

00:40:51.079 --> 00:40:51.579
 and mighty

00:40:51.579 --> 00:40:52.139
 resurrection

00:40:52.139 --> 00:40:53.839
 I by repentance

00:40:53.839 --> 00:40:54.659
 and faith

00:40:54.659 --> 00:40:55.179
 in him

00:40:55.179 --> 00:40:56.479
 have my name

00:40:56.479 --> 00:40:57.519
 forever written

00:40:57.519 --> 00:40:58.679
 in his book

00:40:58.679 --> 00:40:59.179
 of life

00:40:59.179 --> 00:41:00.979
 dear God

00:41:00.979 --> 00:41:02.179
 I thank you

00:41:02.179 --> 00:41:02.699
 that Jesus

00:41:02.699 --> 00:41:03.379
 is the lamb

00:41:03.379 --> 00:41:03.979
 who was slain

00:41:03.979 --> 00:41:04.699
 I thank you

00:41:04.699 --> 00:41:05.119
 that because

00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:06.119
 of his sacrificial

00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:06.519
 death

00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:07.000
 and mighty

00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:07.519
 resurrection

00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:08.800
 I by repentance

00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:09.380
 and faith

00:41:09.380 --> 00:41:09.780
 in him

00:41:09.780 --> 00:41:10.880
 have my name

00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:12.000
 forever written

00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:13.860
 in his book

00:41:13.860 --> 00:41:14.780
 of life

00:41:14.780 --> 00:41:16.320
 you see

00:41:16.320 --> 00:41:17.780
 it's the wonderful

00:41:17.780 --> 00:41:18.099
 thing

00:41:18.099 --> 00:41:18.820
 you go back

00:41:18.820 --> 00:41:19.460
 to that image

00:41:19.460 --> 00:41:21.119
 in chapter 8

00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:21.699
 verse 8

00:41:21.699 --> 00:41:22.519
 and all who dwell

00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:22.940
 on the earth

00:41:22.940 --> 00:41:23.480
 will worship

00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:24.000
 at everyone

00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:24.500
 whose name

00:41:24.500 --> 00:41:25.079
 has not been

00:41:25.079 --> 00:41:25.559
 written before

00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:26.139
 the foundation

00:41:26.139 --> 00:41:26.659
 of the world

00:41:26.659 --> 00:41:27.119
 in the book

00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:28.599
 of life

00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:29.199
 of the lamb

00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:30.280
 who was slain

00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:31.179
 you see

00:41:31.179 --> 00:41:32.400
 when I put

00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:32.880
 my faith

00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:33.360
 and trust

00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:33.980
 in Jesus

00:41:33.980 --> 00:41:35.320
 God

00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:35.780
 writes

00:41:35.780 --> 00:41:36.820
 my name

00:41:36.820 --> 00:41:37.219
 in a book

00:41:37.219 --> 00:41:37.659
 I don't write

00:41:37.659 --> 00:41:38.000
 my name

00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:38.639
 in that book

00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:41.480
 it's a book

00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:41.900
 of those

00:41:41.900 --> 00:41:42.380
 who belong

00:41:42.380 --> 00:41:42.960
 to Jesus

00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:44.320
 who have been

00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:45.199
 reconciled to God

00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:45.800
 by Jesus

00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:46.240
 God

00:41:46.240 --> 00:41:46.820
 not weighing

00:41:46.820 --> 00:41:47.360
 our merits

00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:48.039
 but pardoning

00:41:48.039 --> 00:41:48.579
 our offenses

00:41:48.579 --> 00:41:49.320
 not because

00:41:49.320 --> 00:41:49.800
 we are more

00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:50.320
 powerful

00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:50.659
 and more

00:41:50.659 --> 00:41:51.099
 wonderful

00:41:51.099 --> 00:41:51.440
 and more

00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:51.940
 insightful

00:41:51.940 --> 00:41:52.960
 it's because

00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:53.760
 Jesus has

00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:54.500
 conquered death

00:41:54.500 --> 00:41:54.840
 and he's

00:41:54.840 --> 00:41:55.659
 conquered sin

00:41:55.659 --> 00:41:55.960
 and he's

00:41:55.960 --> 00:41:56.900
 conquered hostile

00:41:56.900 --> 00:41:57.900
 spiritual powers

00:41:57.900 --> 00:41:58.719
 and he does it

00:41:58.719 --> 00:41:59.019
 for you

00:41:59.019 --> 00:41:59.480
 and he does it

00:41:59.480 --> 00:41:59.740
 for me

00:41:59.739 --> 00:42:00.279
 and he reaches

00:42:00.279 --> 00:42:00.759
 his hands

00:42:00.759 --> 00:42:01.179
 across

00:42:01.179 --> 00:42:02.199
 and all

00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:03.259
 who humbly

00:42:03.259 --> 00:42:04.379
 reach their hands

00:42:04.379 --> 00:42:05.059
 can only reach

00:42:05.059 --> 00:42:06.039
 a tiny distance

00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:07.619
 his hand is strong

00:42:07.619 --> 00:42:08.259
 and his arm

00:42:08.259 --> 00:42:08.799
 is long

00:42:08.799 --> 00:42:09.879
 and he reaches

00:42:09.879 --> 00:42:10.239
 down

00:42:10.239 --> 00:42:11.119
 my grip

00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:11.699
 is weak

00:42:11.699 --> 00:42:12.659
 his grip

00:42:12.659 --> 00:42:14.119
 will not fail

00:42:14.119 --> 00:42:15.919
 and when I reach

00:42:15.919 --> 00:42:16.539
 out to him

00:42:16.539 --> 00:42:17.959
 he will grab

00:42:17.959 --> 00:42:18.679
 my wrist

00:42:18.679 --> 00:42:19.479
 crossing that

00:42:19.479 --> 00:42:20.379
 infinite distance

00:42:20.379 --> 00:42:21.000
 from heaven

00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:21.819
 to earth

00:42:21.819 --> 00:42:23.239
 and take me

00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:23.779
 as his own

00:42:23.779 --> 00:42:25.339
 and no work

00:42:25.339 --> 00:42:25.919
 of the beast

00:42:25.919 --> 00:42:26.879
 can ever

00:42:26.879 --> 00:42:27.759
 overcome

00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:29.220
 that is the

00:42:29.220 --> 00:42:30.440
 Christian confidence

00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:31.360
 in the face

00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:32.020
 of the beast

00:42:32.020 --> 00:42:34.720
 one

00:42:34.720 --> 00:42:36.060
 I see my time

00:42:36.060 --> 00:42:36.660
 is up

00:42:36.660 --> 00:42:38.520
 just one thing

00:42:38.520 --> 00:42:39.880
 ask your

00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:42.300
 patience

00:42:42.300 --> 00:42:43.500
 some of you

00:42:43.500 --> 00:42:43.820
 might say

00:42:43.820 --> 00:42:44.240
 George I have

00:42:44.240 --> 00:42:44.960
 an easy time

00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:45.420
 believing

00:42:45.420 --> 00:42:47.460
 in demons

00:42:47.460 --> 00:42:48.440
 I have a hard

00:42:48.440 --> 00:42:49.000
 time believing

00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:49.460
 that I could

00:42:49.460 --> 00:42:50.380
 worship the beast

00:42:50.380 --> 00:42:51.240
 like what do you

00:42:51.240 --> 00:42:51.980

00:42:51.980 --> 00:42:52.420
 you think I'm

00:42:52.420 --> 00:42:53.320
 like a tweener

00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:53.920
 girl

00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:55.780
 going kooky

00:42:55.780 --> 00:42:56.220
 over

00:42:56.220 --> 00:42:57.220

 who get all

00:43:07.219 --> 00:43:08.059
 excited at a

00:43:08.059 --> 00:43:08.419
 convention

00:43:08.419 --> 00:43:09.019
 over something

00:43:09.019 --> 00:43:09.699
 that Kathleen

00:43:09.699 --> 00:43:10.519
 Wynne says

00:43:10.519 --> 00:43:11.679

00:43:19.119 --> 00:43:20.459
 odd people

00:43:20.459 --> 00:43:21.039
 who get all

00:43:21.039 --> 00:43:22.000
 excited at a

00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:22.480
 convention

00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:23.019
 over something

00:43:23.019 --> 00:43:23.539
 I have a hard

00:43:23.539 --> 00:43:24.259
 time believing

00:43:24.259 --> 00:43:24.619
 that I would

00:43:24.619 --> 00:43:25.139
 ever worship

00:43:25.139 --> 00:43:25.939
 anything

 I have an

00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:27.780
 easier time

00:43:27.780 --> 00:43:28.280
 believing in

00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:28.639
 demons

00:43:28.639 --> 00:43:29.220
 than I would

00:43:29.220 --> 00:43:29.720
 worship

00:43:29.720 --> 00:43:30.880
 the beast

00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:33.519
 just here

00:43:33.519 --> 00:43:34.420
 in closing

00:43:34.420 --> 00:43:35.559
 a very very

00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:36.420
 important thing

00:43:36.420 --> 00:43:38.039
 the Bible

00:43:38.039 --> 00:43:38.639
 teaches

00:43:38.639 --> 00:43:39.619
 Andrew if you

00:43:39.619 --> 00:43:39.980
 could put it

00:43:39.980 --> 00:43:40.200
 up

00:43:40.200 --> 00:43:41.000
 is to be

00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:41.720
 human is to

00:43:41.720 --> 00:43:42.079
 worship

00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:43.980
 the Bible

00:43:43.980 --> 00:43:44.780
 teaches is that

00:43:44.780 --> 00:43:45.440
 to be human

00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:46.099
 is to worship

00:43:46.099 --> 00:43:46.760
 therefore the

00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:47.320
 question I

00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:47.960
 daily need

00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:48.500
 to face

00:43:48.500 --> 00:43:49.619
 is who

00:43:49.619 --> 00:43:50.320
 or what

00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:51.139
 am I

00:43:51.139 --> 00:43:51.780

00:43:53.539 --> 00:43:54.500
 am I

00:43:54.500 --> 00:43:55.079
 worshiping

00:43:55.079 --> 00:43:55.860
 and the

00:43:55.860 --> 00:43:56.259
 heart of

00:43:56.259 --> 00:43:56.579
 worship

00:43:56.579 --> 00:43:57.039
 is an

00:43:57.039 --> 00:43:57.619
 ecstasy

00:43:57.619 --> 00:43:58.779
 the heart

00:43:58.779 --> 00:43:59.259
 of worship

00:43:59.259 --> 00:44:00.559
 is what

00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:00.840
 do I

00:44:31.620 --> 00:44:32.000
 teaches

00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:32.460
 that human

00:44:32.460 --> 00:44:32.780
 beings

00:44:32.780 --> 00:44:33.360
 are always

00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:33.860
 serving

 something

 always

00:44:36.220 --> 00:44:36.720
 obeying

00:44:36.720 --> 00:44:37.120
 something

00:44:37.120 --> 00:44:37.600

00:44:38.560 --> 00:44:39.000
 always

00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:39.840
 hoping

00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:40.200
 in

00:44:40.200 --> 00:44:40.720
 something

00:44:40.720 --> 00:44:41.840
 and unless

00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:42.880
 the supreme

00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:43.500
 thing that we

00:44:43.500 --> 00:44:44.039
 serve and

00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:44.360
 love and

00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:44.780
 obey and

00:44:44.780 --> 00:44:45.220
 trust and

00:44:45.220 --> 00:44:45.780
 hope in

00:44:45.780 --> 00:44:46.920
 is God

00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:47.519
 himself

00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:48.340
 then all

00:44:48.340 --> 00:44:48.860
 these other

00:44:48.860 --> 00:44:49.599
 lesser things

00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:50.099
 become

00:44:50.099 --> 00:44:50.720
 gods

00:44:50.720 --> 00:44:51.220
 to us

00:44:51.220 --> 00:44:51.780
 and we

00:44:51.780 --> 00:44:52.400
 might not

00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:53.400
 feel ecstatic

00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:53.940
 about it

00:44:53.940 --> 00:44:54.200
 I mean

00:44:54.200 --> 00:44:54.760
 maybe we

00:44:54.760 --> 00:44:55.019
 will

00:44:55.019 --> 00:44:55.559
 maybe if

00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:55.760
 we're

00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:56.200
 worshipping

00:44:56.200 --> 00:44:56.539
 money

00:44:56.539 --> 00:44:56.880
 and we

00:44:56.880 --> 00:44:57.039
 win

00:44:57.039 --> 00:44:57.360
 a hundred

00:44:57.360 --> 00:44:57.780
 thousand

00:44:57.780 --> 00:44:58.200
 dollars

00:44:58.200 --> 00:44:58.500
 we will

00:44:58.500 --> 00:44:58.660
 get

00:44:58.660 --> 00:44:59.240
 ecstatic

00:44:59.240 --> 00:44:59.760
 about it

00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:00.380
 and we'll

00:45:00.380 --> 00:45:00.800
 look just

00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:01.160
 like a

00:45:01.160 --> 00:45:01.500
 tweeny

00:45:01.500 --> 00:45:02.000
 girl

00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:03.180
 worshipping

00:45:03.180 --> 00:45:03.920
 the latest

00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:04.760
 heartthrob

00:45:04.760 --> 00:45:06.480
 maybe it

00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:06.780
 wouldn't even

00:45:06.780 --> 00:45:07.220
 be a hundred

00:45:07.220 --> 00:45:07.640
 thousand

00:45:07.640 --> 00:45:07.980
 dollars

00:45:07.980 --> 00:45:08.539
 maybe it's

00:45:08.539 --> 00:45:09.039
 finding a

00:45:09.039 --> 00:45:09.559
 twenty dollar

00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:09.960
 bill in

00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:10.420
 your pocket

00:45:10.420 --> 00:45:10.800
 I don't

00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:11.059
 know

00:45:11.059 --> 00:45:11.840
 maybe it

00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:12.099
 has to

00:45:12.099 --> 00:45:12.460
 be more

00:45:12.460 --> 00:45:12.800
 but it's

00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:13.140
 not all

00:45:13.140 --> 00:45:13.380
 about

00:45:13.380 --> 00:45:13.940
 ecstasy

00:45:13.940 --> 00:45:14.140
 it's

00:45:14.140 --> 00:45:14.340
 about

00:45:14.340 --> 00:45:14.840
 serving

00:45:14.840 --> 00:45:15.300
 loving

 in something

00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:20.119
 and here's

00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:21.159
 the sort

00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:21.360
 of the

00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:21.720
 takeaway

00:45:21.720 --> 00:45:22.199
 from the

00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:22.980
 us

00:45:22.980 --> 00:45:23.260
 it's

00:45:23.260 --> 00:45:23.619
 this

00:45:23.619 --> 00:45:24.900
 dear God

 please help

00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:31.159
 trust

00:45:31.159 --> 00:45:31.940
 and hope

00:45:31.940 --> 00:45:32.139
 in

00:45:32.139 --> 00:45:33.300
 if it is

00:45:33.300 --> 00:45:33.860
 not you

00:45:33.860 --> 00:45:34.320
 alone

00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:35.559
 then help

00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:35.920
 me to

00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:36.280

00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:37.420

00:45:37.420 --> 00:45:37.960
 to worship

00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:38.720
 you alone

00:45:38.720 --> 00:45:39.440
 for your

 who or

00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:43.199
 what I

00:45:45.720 --> 00:45:45.900
 in

00:45:45.900 --> 00:45:46.760

00:45:46.760 --> 00:45:47.200
 is not

00:45:47.200 --> 00:45:47.460
 you

00:45:47.460 --> 00:45:47.820
 alone

00:45:47.820 --> 00:45:48.680
 then help

00:45:48.680 --> 00:45:48.960
 me to

00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:49.320

00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:50.059

 you alone

00:45:52.380 --> 00:45:53.800
 please stand

00:45:53.800 --> 00:45:59.559
 remember the

00:45:59.559 --> 00:46:00.139
 very center

00:46:00.139 --> 00:46:00.440
 of the

00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:01.500
 text is

00:46:01.500 --> 00:46:04.180
 verse 10

00:46:04.180 --> 00:46:04.860
 here is a

00:46:04.860 --> 00:46:05.420
 call for the

00:46:05.420 --> 00:46:06.139
 endurance and

00:46:06.139 --> 00:46:06.780
 faith of the

00:46:06.780 --> 00:46:07.160
 saints

00:46:07.160 --> 00:46:08.960
 we enter the

00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:09.559
 Jesus way

00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:10.380
 one by one

00:46:10.380 --> 00:46:11.039
 but we walk

00:46:11.039 --> 00:46:11.820
 the Jesus way

00:46:11.820 --> 00:46:12.400
 with Jesus

00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:12.840
 and others

00:46:12.840 --> 00:46:13.280
 that's what

00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:14.119
 the Christian

00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:14.720
 life is

00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:15.839
 that we

00:46:15.839 --> 00:46:16.339
 enter the

00:46:16.339 --> 00:46:16.879
 Jesus way

00:46:16.879 --> 00:46:17.339
 by putting

00:46:17.339 --> 00:46:17.819
 our faith

00:46:17.819 --> 00:46:18.299
 and trust

00:46:18.299 --> 00:46:18.599
 in him

00:46:18.599 --> 00:46:19.159
 we acknowledge

00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:19.519
 that we

00:46:19.519 --> 00:46:19.759
 have a

00:46:19.759 --> 00:46:20.099
 hard time

00:46:20.099 --> 00:46:20.519
 we serve

00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:20.779
 love

00:46:20.779 --> 00:46:21.019
 obey

00:46:21.019 --> 00:46:21.319
 trust

00:46:21.319 --> 00:46:21.519
 hope

00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:21.839
 in all

00:46:21.839 --> 00:46:22.139
 sorts

00:46:22.139 --> 00:46:22.279
 of

00:46:22.279 --> 00:46:22.639
 things

00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:24.579
 and we

00:46:24.579 --> 00:46:24.819
 have a

00:46:24.819 --> 00:46:25.219
 hard time

00:46:25.219 --> 00:46:25.539
 doing it

00:46:25.539 --> 00:46:25.879
 in our

00:46:25.879 --> 00:46:26.079
 own

00:46:26.079 --> 00:46:26.459
 effort

00:46:26.459 --> 00:46:27.179
 our own

00:46:27.179 --> 00:46:27.739
 flesh

00:46:27.739 --> 00:46:28.579
 doing that

00:46:28.579 --> 00:46:29.059
 with God

00:46:29.059 --> 00:46:29.439
 we need

00:46:29.439 --> 00:46:29.719
 to be

00:46:29.719 --> 00:46:30.279
 reconciled

00:46:30.279 --> 00:46:30.619
 to God

00:46:30.619 --> 00:46:31.039
 by what

00:46:31.039 --> 00:46:31.319
 Jesus

00:46:31.319 --> 00:46:31.619
 does

00:46:31.619 --> 00:46:31.859
 upon

00:46:31.859 --> 00:46:32.059
 the

00:46:32.059 --> 00:46:32.379
 cross

00:46:32.379 --> 00:46:32.919
 and when

00:46:32.919 --> 00:46:33.179
 we put

00:46:33.179 --> 00:46:33.319
 our

00:46:33.319 --> 00:46:33.579
 faith

00:46:33.579 --> 00:46:33.859
 and hope

00:46:33.859 --> 00:46:34.199
 and trust

00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:34.359
 in him

00:46:34.359 --> 00:46:34.779
 we enter

00:46:34.779 --> 00:46:34.959
 the

00:46:34.959 --> 00:46:35.219
 Jesus

00:46:35.219 --> 00:46:35.439
 way

00:46:35.439 --> 00:46:35.659
 just

00:46:35.659 --> 00:46:35.919
 one

00:46:35.919 --> 00:46:36.259
 person

00:46:36.259 --> 00:46:36.459
 at a

00:46:36.459 --> 00:46:36.659
 time

00:46:36.659 --> 00:46:36.859
 my

00:46:36.859 --> 00:46:37.219
 parents

00:46:37.219 --> 00:46:37.559
 can't

00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:37.699
 do

00:46:37.699 --> 00:46:37.819
 it

00:46:37.820 --> 00:46:38.059
 for

00:46:38.059 --> 00:46:38.260
 me

00:46:38.260 --> 00:46:38.800
 my

00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:39.100
 kids

00:46:39.100 --> 00:46:39.420
 can't

00:46:39.420 --> 00:46:39.539
 do

00:46:39.539 --> 00:46:39.660
 it

00:46:39.660 --> 00:46:39.780
 for

00:46:39.780 --> 00:46:39.880
 me

00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:39.980
 I

00:46:39.980 --> 00:46:40.140
 have

00:46:40.140 --> 00:46:40.260
 to

00:46:40.260 --> 00:46:40.380
 do

00:46:40.380 --> 00:46:40.480
 it

00:46:40.480 --> 00:46:40.960
 myself

00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:41.800
 but

00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:42.019
 I

00:46:42.019 --> 00:46:42.420
 walk

00:46:42.420 --> 00:46:42.620
 the

00:46:42.620 --> 00:46:42.880
 Jesus

00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:43.140
 way

00:46:43.140 --> 00:46:43.360
 you

00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:43.660
 walk

00:46:43.660 --> 00:46:43.840
 the

00:46:43.840 --> 00:46:44.080
 Jesus

00:46:44.080 --> 00:46:44.340
 way

00:46:44.340 --> 00:46:44.559
 with

00:46:44.559 --> 00:46:44.900
 Jesus

00:46:44.900 --> 00:46:45.120
 and

00:46:45.120 --> 00:46:45.440
 others

00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:46.240
 and

00:46:46.240 --> 00:46:46.360
 the

00:46:46.360 --> 00:46:46.559
 book

00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:46.740
 of

00:46:46.740 --> 00:46:47.220
 Revelation

00:46:47.220 --> 00:46:47.500
 is

00:46:47.500 --> 00:46:47.780
 trying

00:46:47.780 --> 00:46:47.940
 to

00:46:47.940 --> 00:46:48.140
 tell

00:46:48.140 --> 00:46:48.340
 us

00:46:48.340 --> 00:46:48.820
 that

00:46:48.820 --> 00:46:49.080
 his

00:46:49.080 --> 00:46:49.380
 way

00:46:49.380 --> 00:46:49.640
 may

00:46:49.640 --> 00:46:49.800
 be

00:46:49.800 --> 00:46:50.160
 very

00:46:50.160 --> 00:46:50.700
 hard

00:46:50.700 --> 00:46:50.940
 at

00:46:50.940 --> 00:46:51.519
 times

00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:53.519
 it's

00:46:53.519 --> 00:46:53.760
 very

00:46:53.760 --> 00:46:54.360
 hard

00:46:54.360 --> 00:46:55.120
 probably

00:46:55.120 --> 00:46:55.420
 to be

00:46:55.420 --> 00:46:55.580
 a

00:46:55.580 --> 00:46:55.880
 follower

00:46:55.880 --> 00:46:56.120
 of

00:46:56.120 --> 00:46:56.380
 Jesus

00:46:56.380 --> 00:46:56.620
 in

00:46:56.620 --> 00:46:57.059
 Iran

00:46:57.059 --> 00:46:57.500
 today

00:46:57.500 --> 00:46:58.620
 or

00:46:58.620 --> 00:46:59.039
 Saudi

00:46:59.039 --> 00:46:59.500
 Arabia

00:46:59.500 --> 00:47:00.059
 today

00:47:00.059 --> 00:47:01.380
 so

00:47:01.380 --> 00:47:01.519
 there's

00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:01.860
 places

00:47:01.860 --> 00:47:02.160
 in the

00:47:02.160 --> 00:47:02.400
 world

00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:02.580
 where

00:47:02.580 --> 00:47:02.700
 it'll

00:47:07.820 --> 00:47:07.960
 but

00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:08.260
 it

00:47:08.260 --> 00:47:08.500
 is

00:47:08.500 --> 00:47:09.059
 never

00:47:09.059 --> 00:47:10.059
 impossible

00:47:10.059 --> 00:47:11.200
 or

00:47:11.200 --> 00:47:11.600
 doomed

00:47:11.600 --> 00:47:13.600
 because

00:47:13.600 --> 00:47:13.820
 the

00:47:13.820 --> 00:47:14.280
 primary

00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:14.700
 work

00:47:14.700 --> 00:47:14.860
 is

00:47:14.860 --> 00:47:15.140
 done

00:47:15.140 --> 00:47:15.380
 by

00:47:15.380 --> 00:47:15.760
 Jesus

00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:16.120
 for

00:47:16.120 --> 00:47:16.440
 us

00:47:16.440 --> 00:47:18.260
 and

00:47:18.260 --> 00:47:18.640
 the

00:47:18.640 --> 00:47:18.980
 Bible

00:47:18.980 --> 00:47:19.539
 invites

00:47:19.539 --> 00:47:19.740
 us

00:47:19.740 --> 00:47:19.920
 to

00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:20.420
 respond

00:47:20.420 --> 00:47:20.640
 to

00:47:20.640 --> 00:47:20.780
 the

00:47:20.780 --> 00:47:21.220
 gospel

00:47:21.220 --> 00:47:21.900
 and

00:47:21.900 --> 00:47:22.039
 as

00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:22.180
 we

00:47:22.180 --> 00:47:22.660
 respond

00:47:22.660 --> 00:47:22.840
 to
