AND WHEN THE PRESIDENT OF OUR UNION 08:42 TOLD US WHILE WE WERE TEACHING IN SEMINARY IN WAMBACH, 08:47 A CITY ABOUT 100 MILES FAR, THAT STILL WAS FALLING SOME MANNA. 08:55 MY WIFE SAID, YOU KNOW YOU MUST TAKE US THERE.

ARAUJO IS GOING TO READ THIS FOR US SO THAT WE'D 16:28 GET THE IMPACT OF THE CONCLUSION AND IT IS PROFOUND. PLEASE. 16:35 THE CONCLUSION FROM THE LABORATORY ANALYSIS IS THIS: 16:39 ACCORDING TO THE RESULTS OBTAINED IT CAN BE CONCLUDED 16:43 THAT THE SAMPLE IS MADE MAINLY OF SIMPLE 16:49 SUGAR, OLIGOSACCHARIDES AS WELL AS SMALL QUANITITIES OF 16:57 NITROGEN COMPOUNDS AND OXIDANTS OF METALLIC ELEMENTS. 17:04 IT HAS POTASSIUM, CALCIUM, PHOSPHORUS, IRON, SILICON, 17:10 SULPHUR AND COPPER THAT ARE SUITABLE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. 17:16 THIS SAMPLE COULD THEN SUPPLY A GOOD SOURCE OF NUTRIENTS FOR THE HUMAN 17:22 DIET THAT COINCIDES WITH THE EXPECTATIONS FOR A SAMPLE OF MANNA. 17:30 DR. MARCOS EBERLEIN, HE IS THE DIRECTOR OF THIS LABORATORY, HE IS A MEMBER OF THE BAPTIST 17:37 CHURCH AND HE SENT ME THE REPORT. 17:43 SO, IT IS OFFICIAL BECAUSE THIS LABORATORY BELONGS TO UNIVERSITY OF CAMPENAS AND IS THE BEST MASS 17:53 SPECTROMETRY LABORATORY IN BRAZIL SO WE CAN DEPEND ON THE WORDS THAT HE SAID. 18:00 AND AS HE IS AN EVANGELICAL, I THINK HE IS SAYING THE 18:06 TRUTH YOU KNOW. AND OF COURSE, IF ANYONE WANTS TO 18:10 SEE THE DIAGRAMS OR SOMETHING, THEY HAVE IT. 18:15 I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE IT HERE AND FOR EVERYONE TO SEE. 18:20 THAT IS WONDERFUL AND I KNOW YOUR FRIENDS HERE WHO ARE FROM 18:26 BRAZIL WILL BE ABLE TO SAFELY SAVE THAT FOR US AND PROBABLY 18:31 ASSIST IN THE TRANSLATION. I AM, I'M ALMOST SPEECHLESS WITH 18:39 THE REALIZATION THAT AFTER ALL OF THESE GENERATIONS AND 18:46 EVEN THOUSANDS OF YEARS, THIS MAY BE THE FIRST TIME THERE HAS EVER BEEN A MANNA ANALYSIS. 18:55 I THINK SO. 18:57 AND I GUESS THE THING THAT GIVES ME SO MUCH PAUSE IS THE FACT WE HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH, 19:09 YOU GOSPEL OUTREACH LEADER IN BRAZIL, ARE ENTRUSTED WITH THIS INFORMATION AS A WONDERFUL, 19:20 WONDERFUL VERIFICATION OF THE BIBLE STORY OF GOD GIVING HIS PEOPLE A BALANCED DIET THAT 19:32 WOULD SUSTAIN THEM ALL THOSE YEARS AGO IN THAT ARRID DESERT 19:36 WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE STARVED HAD HE NOT PROVIDED FOR THEM. 19:40 SURELY ENOUGH AND BESIDES THAT, I THINK THE LORD WANTS TO SHOW US THAT IF NECESSARY, HE IS 19:49 GOING TO DO THE SAME FOR US TODAY IN LAST DAYS OF HISTORY. 19:54 FROM THAT, WHAT WAS THAT, 500 YEARS AGO? 20:02 A 1447 OR 1445 IT'S WHEN THE ISRAEL GOT OUT FROM EGYPT AND THEN THEY ARRIVED 40 YEARS LATER 20:13 A 1447 OR 1445 IT'S WHEN THE ISRAEL GOT OUT FROM EGYPT AND THEN THEY ARRIVED 40 YEARS LATER 20:18 DURING ALL THIS TIME, YOU KNOW AND NOW WE ARE IN 2012. 20:24 THAT'S OVER 3500 YEARS AGO. 20:26 YES.
