(MUSIC)
00:00:00.30\00:00:15.38
>>THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
EXAMPLES IN THE BIBLE OF
00:00:15.38\00:00:19.68
CHARACTERS THAT REFLECT JESUS.
AND OUR SERMON TODAY IS PART 5 -
00:00:19.68\00:00:24.09
IT'S HOW JOB IS A
REFLECTION OF CHRIST.
00:00:24.09\00:00:29.32
AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE, I THINK,
A NUMBER OF WAYS - AND I DON'T
00:00:29.32\00:00:32.66
HAVE TIME TO COVER IT ALL,
BUT FOR ME THIS IS SO EXCITING
00:00:32.66\00:00:35.73
BECAUSE IT PROVES THE
BIBLE IS A SUPERNATURAL BOOK.
00:00:35.73\00:00:39.00
THIS COULD NEVER BE CONCOCTED OR
FABRICATED SO THAT YOU WOULD SEE
00:00:39.00\00:00:43.07
ALL THESE TYPES AND SHADOWS OF
AN INDIVIDUAL IN THEIR LIVES AND
00:00:43.07\00:00:47.08
THE SIMILARITIES.
NOT ONLY IS JOB A TYPE OF
00:00:47.08\00:00:50.35
CHRIST, BUT JOSEPH - SOLD BY
HIS BROTHERS FOR THE PRICE OF A
00:00:50.35\00:00:55.82
SLAVE - AS JESUS WAS
SOLD - HE FORGIVES THEM.
00:00:55.82\00:00:58.42
JOB TELLS US ABOUT
THE FORGIVENESS OF JESUS.
00:00:58.42\00:01:02.32
YOU CAN LOOK AT
THE STORY OF MOSES.
00:01:02.32\00:01:04.79
MOSES TELLS US
ABOUT THE LAW OF JESUS.
00:01:04.79\00:01:07.76
DAVID TELLS US ABOUT
THE MAJESTY OF JESUS.
00:01:07.76\00:01:10.40
THESE ARE SOME OF THE
GREAT CHARACTERS IN THE BIBLE
00:01:10.40\00:01:12.37
AND THEY ARE
ALL TYPES OF CHRIST.
00:01:12.37\00:01:14.80
NOW YOU CAN READ THAT
WE'VE TALKED A LITTLE BIT IN OUR
00:01:14.80\00:01:20.64
BACKGROUND ABOUT HOW JOB WAS
THIS GREAT MAN AND HE SUFFERED A
00:01:20.64\00:01:24.75
TERRIBLE TRIAL BECAUSE OF
THE TAUNTING - A CHALLENGE - a
00:01:24.75\00:01:29.15
GAUNTLET THE DEVIL THREW DOWN
FOR GOD AND JOB'S LIFE REALLY
00:01:29.15\00:01:33.19
BECOMES A DEMONSTRATION OF THE
POWER OF THE GOSPEL IN HUMANITY.
00:01:33.19\00:01:38.19
IT'S AN EXAMPLE
FOR EACH ONE OF US.
00:01:38.19\00:01:40.30
JOB IS - ANOTHER WAY HE'S SORT
OF LIKE CHRIST - YOU REMEMBER
00:01:40.30\00:01:44.13
WHERE PAUL COMPARES MELCHIZADEK
TO BEING LIKE CHRIST BECAUSE HE
00:01:44.13\00:01:48.27
SAID HE'S WITHOUT
BEGINNING OR END OF DAYS?
00:01:48.27\00:01:51.17
MEANING YOU DON'T KNOW HIS
GENEALOGY ABOUT WHERE HE COMES
00:01:51.17\00:01:54.71
FROM AND YOU DON'T
KNOW WHERE HE GOES.
00:01:54.71\00:01:57.95
IT TELLS ABOUT
THE FRIENDS OF JOB.
00:01:57.95\00:02:01.72
WE KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE TIME
OF JOB, BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE
00:02:01.72\00:02:04.79
JOB CAME FROM AND IT DOESN'T
TALK ABOUT HIS ANCESTORS.
00:02:04.79\00:02:07.59
HE APPEARS AND HE DISAPPEARS.
HE'S WITHOUT BEGINNING
00:02:07.59\00:02:09.96
OR WITHOUT END.
JESUS IS THE ALPHA
00:02:09.96\00:02:11.66
AND THE OMEGA. SO I'M
GOING TO GO THROUGH WITH
00:02:11.66\00:02:13.96
YOU NOW AND I WANT TO BE
CAREFUL WHEN I PREACH TO JUST
00:02:13.96\00:02:18.13
HELP YOU SEE HOW AWESOME
THIS IS, BECAUSE WHENEVER YOU GO
00:02:18.13\00:02:21.50
THROUGH A LIST, AND I'M GOING
TO BE READING A LOT OF VERSES.
00:02:21.50\00:02:25.24
THERE'S ALWAYS THE RISK THAT IN
THE ALMANAC OF THESE CHRONICLES
00:02:25.24\00:02:34.28
THAT I'LL LOSE YOU. YOU
KNOW THE KING OF PERSIA,
00:02:34.28\00:02:36.99
WHEN HE WANTED TO GO TO SLEEP,
HE GOT THE SCRIBE TO JUST READ
00:02:36.99\00:02:39.19
THE CHRONICLES AND HE STARTED
TO DOZE OFF UNTIL HE READ ABOUT
00:02:39.19\00:02:44.06
THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT.
SO I WANT YOU TO JUST STAY WITH
00:02:44.06\00:02:48.53
ME BECAUSE THIS,
TO ME, IS AMAZING.
00:02:48.53\00:02:50.63
24 - THERE'S A LOT MORE THAN
THIS, BUT I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU
00:02:50.63\00:02:53.54
24 WAYS WHERE JOB IS
SHOWN TO BE A TYPE OF JESUS.
00:02:53.54\00:02:59.87
FIRST OF ALL, THE BIBLE SAYS,
IN THE FIRST VERSE, JOB WAS A
00:02:59.87\00:03:05.71
PERFECT MAN. WAS
JESUS PERFECT? >>YES.
00:03:05.71\00:03:10.02
>>NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN JOB IS
SINLESS, BUT EVERYTHING YOU READ
00:03:10.02\00:03:12.92
ABOUT JOB IS AS GOOD
AS IT GETS FOR ANY HUMAN.
00:03:12.92\00:03:16.66
"THERE WAS A MAN IN THE LAND OF
UZ, WHOSE NAME WAS JOB; AND THAT
00:03:16.66\00:03:20.33
MAN WAS BLAMELESS" -
SOME VERSIONS SAY 'PERFECT' -
00:03:20.33\00:03:23.50
"UPRIGHT, AND ONE WHO FEARED
GOD AND SHUNNED" - OR HATED OR
00:03:23.50\00:03:27.87
ESCHEWED - "EVIL." WHAT DOES IT
SAY ABOUT JESUS? WAS HE SINLESS?
00:03:27.87\00:03:33.01
1 PETER 2:22 - JESUS "WHO
COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS DECEIT
00:03:33.01\00:03:38.25
FOUND IN HIS MOUTH."
GOING BACK TO JOB IT SAYS, "IN
00:03:38.25\00:03:41.82
ALL THIS JOB DID NOT SIN
NOR CHARGE GOD WITH WRONG."
00:03:41.82\00:03:46.79
JOB SAYS, IN CHAPTER 23:11 AND
12, "MY FOOT HAS HELD FAST TO
00:03:46.79\00:03:51.29
HIS STEPS;" - HE'S WALKED IN
THE STEPS OF GOD - "I HAVE KEPT
00:03:51.29\00:03:54.93
HIS WAY AND NOT TURNED ASIDE."
- JESUS FOLLOWED IN THE STEPS
00:03:54.93\00:03:57.77
OF THE FATHER - "I HAVE NOT
DEPARTED FROM THE COMMANDMENT OF
00:03:57.77\00:04:01.04
HIS LIPS; I HAVE TREASURED
THE WORDS OF HIS MOUTH MORE
00:04:01.04\00:04:04.91
THAN MY NECESSARY
FOOD." HE LOVED THE WORD
00:04:04.91\00:04:08.54
MORE THAN FOOD.
WHAT DOES JESUS SAY?
00:04:08.54\00:04:10.61
'MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD
ALONE BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT
00:04:10.61\00:04:14.05
PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD.'
SO JOB LOVED THE WORD OF GOD AND
00:04:14.05\00:04:17.65
HE LIVED THE WORD OF GOD AND IT
WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO HIM THAN
00:04:17.65\00:04:20.62
EVEN HIS OWN NECESSARY
FOOD. WOULD GOD THAT WE ALL FELT
00:04:20.62\00:04:25.29
THAT WAY ABOUT HIS
WORD. AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:04:25.29\00:04:28.50
>>JOB WAS A PERFECT
MAN - JESUS, A PERFECT MAN.
00:04:28.50\00:04:32.30
IT DOESN'T MEAN JOB WAS SINLESS,
BUT HE WAS PERFECT AS ANY MAN
00:04:32.30\00:04:35.34
THAT BIBLE
HISTORY TELLS US ABOUT.
00:04:35.34\00:04:38.14
HE WAS THE RICHEST MAN. ANOTHER
WAY THAT JOB WAS LIKE JESUS.
00:04:38.14\00:04:42.61
JOB 1:3, "ALSO HIS POSSESSIONS
WERE SEVEN THOUSAND SHEEP," -
00:04:42.61\00:04:46.78
NOTICE THE NUMBERS 7 AND
3 - HOW OFTEN THEY APPEAR.
00:04:46.78\00:04:50.22
THESE ARE VERY IMPORTANT NUMBERS
THAT DENOTE GOD AND THEY DENOTE
00:04:50.22\00:04:55.72
PERFECTION OR COMPLETENESS.
HE'S GOT - "THREE THOUSAND
00:04:55.72\00:05:00.50
CAMELS, [SEVEN THOUSAND SHEEPÑ
FIVE HUNDRED YOKE OF OXEN, FIVE
00:05:00.50\00:05:03.97
HUNDRED FEMALE DONKEYS, AND
A VERY LARGE HOUSEHOLD, SO THAT
00:05:03.97\00:05:07.40
THIS MAN WAS THE GREATEST
OF ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE EAST."
00:05:07.40\00:05:12.27
AND YOUR WEALTH WAS NOT
DETERMINED BY MONEY IN THE BANK
00:05:12.27\00:05:15.11
BACK THEN, BUT CATTLE IN
THE STALL WAS MONEY IN THE BANK.
00:05:15.11\00:05:19.95
AND IT SAYS, 'OF THE EAST'.
IT TALKS ABOUT THE KINGS OF THE
00:05:19.95\00:05:23.52
EAST AS A SIGN OF GOD IN
THE BIBLE AND A SMALL CLOUD
00:05:23.52\00:05:28.22
SHALL ARISE FROM THE EAST.
JESUS LAID ASIDE HIS RICHES TO
00:05:28.22\00:05:33.50
GO THROUGH THE
TRIALS IN THIS WORLD.
00:05:33.50\00:05:36.30
WAS THERE ANYONE RICHER THAN
THE ONE WHO MADE ALL THE RICHES?
00:05:36.30\00:05:39.13
>>NO. >>CAN YOU BE
RICHER THAN THE ONE
00:05:39.13\00:05:43.97
WHO CREATES ALL
RICHES? 2 CORINTHIANS 8:9
00:05:43.97\00:05:48.18
"FOR YOU KNOW THE GRACE OF OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST THAT THOUGH HE
00:05:48.18\00:05:51.81
WAS RICH YET FOR YOUR SAKES
HE BECAME POOR THAT YOU, THROUGH
00:05:51.81\00:05:57.52
HIS POVERTY MIGHT BE RICH" -
HE'S OFFERING TO TRADE PLACES
00:05:57.52\00:06:00.42
WITH US. JOB
LOST EVERYTHING. WHY?
00:06:00.42\00:06:05.43
AS AN EXAMPLE FOR YOU AND
ME. HE DID IT TO TEACH OTHERS.
00:06:05.43\00:06:10.17
JOB DIDN'T KNOW AT THE
TIME WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
00:06:10.17\00:06:12.20
YOU AND I ARE GLAD JOB WENT
THROUGH HIS EXPERIENCES BECAUSE
00:06:12.20\00:06:14.97
WE LEARN FROM
THAT. RICH, LIKE CHRIST.
00:06:14.97\00:06:20.34
LUKE 9:58 - JESUS - IT SAYS HE
TOLD THEM "FOXES HAVE A HOLE TO
00:06:20.34\00:06:24.75
SLEEP IN AND BIRDS HAVE THE
NESTS, BUT THE SON OF MAN HAS
00:06:24.75\00:06:29.45
NOWHERE TO LAY HIS HEAD."
JESUS LAID ASIDE EVERYTHING.
00:06:29.45\00:06:32.12
CAN YOU IMAGINE GOING FROM, YOU
KNOW, JUST THE GLORY OF BEING
00:06:32.12\00:06:37.26
SURROUNDED BY HOLY ANGELS AND
ALL THE RICHES OF THE CENTER OF
00:06:37.26\00:06:41.13
THE UNIVERSE. I
MEAN, THIS IS CALLED, YOU
00:06:41.13\00:06:43.67
KNOW, HEADQUARTERS IN HEAVEN
AND BEING THE KING OF KINGS AND
00:06:43.67\00:06:49.77
GOING FROM THAT DOWN TO
THIS WORLD AND HAVING TO SLEEP
00:06:49.77\00:06:53.11
ON THE GROUND IN A GARDEN.
I MEAN, JESUS LAID ASIDE HIS
00:06:53.11\00:06:56.51
RICHES - JOB WAS THE
RICHEST BUT HE LOST IT ALL.
00:06:56.51\00:07:00.12
IT SAYS THAT JOB
WAS A SERVANT OF GOD.
00:07:00.12\00:07:04.85
YOU CAN READ IN JOB 2, VERSE
3, "AND THE LORD SAID TO SATAN,
00:07:04.85\00:07:08.86
'HAVE YOU
CONSIDERED MY SERVANT JOB?'"
00:07:08.86\00:07:12.63
I HOPE GOD CAN SAY
THAT ABOUT ME AND ABOUT YOU.
00:07:12.63\00:07:15.33
>>AMEN. >>"THAT
THERE'S NONE LIKE HIM
00:07:15.33\00:07:17.00
IN THE EARTH; A BLAMELESS AND
UPRIGHT MAN WHO FEARS GOD AND
00:07:17.00\00:07:21.44
HATES EVIL." WHAT IS THE -
ONE OF THE TITLES FOR JESUS?
00:07:21.44\00:07:25.47
ONE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT TITLES
FOR THE MESSIAH WAS - HE'S
00:07:25.47\00:07:28.38
CALLED 'THE SERVANT'.
LOOK IN ISAIAH 42:1, "BEHOLD!
00:07:28.38\00:07:32.91
MY SERVANT WHOM I UPHOLD,
MY ELECT ONE IN WHOM MY SOUL
00:07:32.91\00:07:37.35
DELIGHTS! I HAVE
PUT MY SPIRIT UPON HIM;
00:07:37.35\00:07:40.12
HE WILL BRING FORTH
JUSTICE TO THE GENTILES.
00:07:40.12\00:07:43.63
AND JESUS SAID - MATTHEW 20:28
- JUST AS THE SON OF MAN DID NOT
00:07:43.63\00:07:48.20
COME TO BE SERVED, BUT TO SERVE,
AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE A RANSOM
00:07:48.20\00:07:53.07
FOR MANY." SO JOB IS A
SERVANT - WAS JESUS A SERVANT?
00:07:53.07\00:07:58.34
JESUS AND JOB - A LOT IN COMMON.
00:07:58.34\00:08:01.28
JOB IS IDENTIFIED AS
AN AWESOME CHARACTER.
00:08:01.28\00:08:04.75
LISTEN HOW, IN JOB 29, WHEN HE
DESCRIBES HIS ESTEEM THAT HE HAD
00:08:04.75\00:08:10.02
IN HIS TOWN BEFORE ALL
THESE PLAGUES CAME UPON HIM.
00:08:10.02\00:08:14.86
JOB 29:7, "WHEN I WENT OUT
TO THE GATE BY THE CITY, WHEN I
00:08:14.86\00:08:19.06
TOOK MY SEAT IN THE OPEN SQUARE,
THE YOUNG MEN SAW ME AND HID,
00:08:19.06\00:08:22.90
AND THE AGED AROSE AND STOOD;
THE PRINCES REFRAINED FROM
00:08:22.90\00:08:26.87
TALKING, AND PUT THEIR HAND
ON THEIR MOUTH;" - THAT'S A MAN
00:08:26.87\00:08:29.97
WITH A LOT OF CLOUT - "THE VOICE
OF THE NOBLES WAS HUSHED, AND
00:08:29.97\00:08:35.31
THEIR TONGUE STUCK TO
THE ROOF OF THEIR MOUTH.
00:08:35.31\00:08:40.28
WHEN THE EAR HEARD, THEN IT
BLESSED ME, AND WHEN THE EYE
00:08:40.28\00:08:42.85
SAW, THEN IT APPROVED ME;
BECAUSE I DELIVERED THE POOR
00:08:42.85\00:08:45.95
WHO CRIED OUT, THE FATHERLESS
AND THE ONE WHO HAD NO HELPER.
00:08:45.95\00:08:49.12
THE BLESSING OF A PERISHING MAN
CAME UPON ME AND I CAUSED THE
00:08:49.12\00:08:52.36
WIDOW'S HEART TO SING FOR JOY.
I PUT ON RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND IT
00:08:52.36\00:08:55.90
CLOTHED ME; MY JUSTICE
WAS LIKE A ROBE AND A TURBAN.
00:08:55.90\00:08:59.53
I WAS EYES TO THE BLIND,
AND I WAS FEET TO THE LAME.
00:08:59.53\00:09:02.80
I WAS A FATHER TO THE POOR, AND
I SEARCHED OUT THE CASE THAT I
00:09:02.80\00:09:06.27
DID NOT KNOW. I BROKE
THE FANGS OF THE WICKED,
00:09:06.27\00:09:09.48
AND PLUCKED THE VICTIM FROM
HIS TEETH." - LIKE DAVID WHEN HE
00:09:09.48\00:09:12.38
DELIVERS THE LAMB FROM
THE LION AND THE BEAR -
00:09:12.38\00:09:15.22
JOB IS THIS GREAT
DELIVERER. HE'S THIS AWESOME
00:09:15.22\00:09:19.25
RESPECTED CHARACTER.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE DIVINE
00:09:19.25\00:09:23.26
QUALITIES WHEN HE WENT THROUGH
TOWN - THE WAY THEY REVERED HIM.
00:09:23.26\00:09:28.06
IT'S LIKE JESUS - JOB'S
LIKE JESUS - DO YOU SEE IT?
00:09:28.06\00:09:33.67
FIFTH POINT: THE BOOK OF
JOB TELLS US ABOUT THE GREAT
00:09:33.67\00:09:37.61
CONTROVERSY. IT'S
GREAT THAT THIS OLDEST
00:09:37.61\00:09:40.61
BOOK IN THE BIBLE, RIGHT AT THE
BEGINNING, TELLS US THE REASON
00:09:40.61\00:09:44.01
FOR ALL THE SUFFERING IN
THE WORLD IS BECAUSE THERE'S A
00:09:44.01\00:09:46.55
BATTLE BETWEEN THE MOST POWERFUL
ANGEL THAT WAS MADE - THE MOST
00:09:46.55\00:09:50.39
POWERFUL CREATED INTELLIGENCE
WAS LUCIFER, WHO REBELLED
00:09:50.39\00:09:55.09
AGAINST HIS CREATOR AND
YOU AND I ARE LIVING ON THE
00:09:55.09\00:09:58.43
BATTLEGROUND OF THAT REBELLION.
AND WHAT'S AT STAKE IS THE DEVIL
00:09:58.43\00:10:03.03
IS SAYING 'GOD IS NOT
FAIR. GOD IS NOT GOOD.
00:10:03.03\00:10:06.27
AND IF I WAS IN CHARGE - MY
GOVERNMENT - I WOULD BE A BETTER
00:10:06.27\00:10:09.14
GOD THAN GOD IS.' THE DEVIL
WANTS GOD'S POSITION AND GOD,
00:10:09.14\00:10:12.51
BASICALLY, BECAUSE MAN, HERE ON
THIS WORLD, CHOSE TO LISTEN TO
00:10:12.51\00:10:16.98
THE DEVIL INSTEAD OF GOD, THE
DEVIL SET UP HIS HEADQUARTERS
00:10:16.98\00:10:20.95
DOWN HERE AND WE ARE ALL
SUFFERING THE FALLOUT OF THAT
00:10:20.95\00:10:24.49
WAR. JOB SUFFERS BECAUSE OF
00:10:24.49\00:10:27.26
A BATTLE IN HEAVEN. SO
THE WHOLE GREAT CONTROVERSY
00:10:27.26\00:10:30.99
PLAYS OUT IN THE BOOK OF
JOB. DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:10:30.99\00:10:34.40
JOB 1:6, "NOW THERE WAS A
DAY WHEN THE SONS OF GOD CAME TO
00:10:34.40\00:10:38.37
PRESENT THEMSELVES BEFORE THE
LORD, AND SATAN ALSO CAME AMONG
00:10:38.37\00:10:41.34
THEM." - JOB IS
BEING TEMPTED BECAUSE OF
00:10:41.34\00:10:45.37
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN HEAVEN.
00:10:45.37\00:10:47.01
THE DEVIL COMES TO JESUS - LUKE
4:3, "AND THE DEVIL SAID TO HIM,
00:10:47.01\00:10:51.01
'IF YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD,
COMMAND THIS STONE TO BECOME
00:10:51.01\00:10:53.38
BREAD.'" AND THEN THE DEVIL
UNLEASHES ALL OF THE POWER OF
00:10:53.38\00:10:58.32
HADES ON JESUS, JUST LIKE THE
DEVIL DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO
00:10:58.32\00:11:01.92
TORMENT JOB, BUT HE HAD
TO STOP SHORT OF KILLING HIM.
00:11:01.92\00:11:05.89
I MEAN, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT
THE DEVIL LEFT OUT THAT HE COULD
00:11:05.89\00:11:08.36
DO TO JOB SHORT OF
TAKING HIS LAST BREATH?
00:11:08.36\00:11:12.23
HE WENT THROUGH EVERYTHING.
THE DEVIL HEAPED ALL OF THE FURY
00:11:12.23\00:11:15.20
OF HELL ON JESUS TO TRY TO GET
JESUS TO SIN SO HE COULD SAY,
00:11:15.20\00:11:19.71
'SEE, YOUR LAW IS NOT
FAIR. MAN CANNOT OBEY YOU.'
00:11:19.71\00:11:23.61
SO THE WHOLE GREAT CONTROVERSY
IS IN THE BOOK OF JOB.
00:11:23.61\00:11:26.15
POINT #6 - "FORSAKEN BY FRIENDS"
- WAS JOB FORSAKEN BY HIS
00:11:26.15\00:11:33.12
FRIENDS? WAS JESUS FORSAKEN
00:11:33.12\00:11:35.99
BY HIS FRIENDS?
MATTHEW 26:56, "BUT ALL THIS
00:11:35.99\00:11:40.80
WAS DONE THAT THE SCRIPTURES OF
THE PROPHETS MIGHT BE FULFILLED.
00:11:40.80\00:11:43.97
THEN ALL THE DISCIPLES FORSOOK
HIM AND FLED." JOB SAYS, 'MY
00:11:43.97\00:11:49.84
RELATIVES HAVE FAILED AND
MY CLOSE FRIENDS HAVE FORGOTTEN
00:11:49.84\00:11:53.44
ME.' NOW DID JESUS HAVE
THREE CLOSE, CLOSE FRIENDS?
00:11:53.44\00:11:58.88
WHO WERE THE
INNER CIRCLE OF CHRIST?
00:11:58.88\00:12:01.05
>>PETER, JAMES, AND
JOHN. >>PETER, JAMES, AND JOHN.
00:12:01.05\00:12:03.22
YOU - IT JUST SORT OF ROLLS OFF
OUR TONGUES LIKE 'THE BUTCHER,
00:12:03.22\00:12:05.55
THE BAKER, AND THE CANDLESTICK
MAKER' WE ALL KNOW PETER, JAMES,
00:12:05.55\00:12:08.42
AND JOHN, RIGHT? AND
DID THEY FORSAKE HIM?
00:12:08.42\00:12:12.86
HE TURNED TO THEM FOR
PRAYER AND THEY WENT TO SLEEP.
00:12:12.86\00:12:15.76
AND JOB HAD SOME FRIENDS,
HE WENT TO THEM FOR COMFORT AND
00:12:15.76\00:12:20.60
THEY DIDN'T COMFORT HIM.
JOB 6:27 'AND YOU WOULD EVEN
00:12:20.60\00:12:28.38
CAST LOTS OVER AN ORPHAN AND
BARTER AWAY YOUR FRIEND.' JOB
00:12:28.38\00:12:32.78
SAID SOMETHING ABOUT CASTING
LOTS AND SELLING HIM OFF.
00:12:32.78\00:12:37.39
WAS JESUS SOLD BY A
FRIEND FOR 30 PIECES OF SILVER?
00:12:37.39\00:12:40.92
DID THEY CAST LOTS FOR HIS
CLOTHING AND GAMBLE FOR HIS
00:12:40.92\00:12:45.66
VESTURE? THAT WAS ALSO FORETOLD.
THAT COMES UP AGAIN LATER.
00:12:45.66\00:12:49.56
NOT ONLY FORSAKEN BY FRIENDS,
BUT FORSAKEN BY HIS BROTHERS.
00:12:49.56\00:12:53.64
AND AGAIN, I'M NOT
EVEN MENTIONING EVERYTHING.
00:12:53.64\00:12:55.27
I'M JUST SHOWING YOU SOME OF THE
PARALLELS FROM THE BOOK OF JOB
00:12:55.27\00:12:57.94
AND THE LIFE OF JESUS.
JOB 19:13, "HE HAS REMOVED MY
00:12:57.94\00:13:03.31
BROTHERS FAR FROM ME, AND
MY ACQUAINTANCES ARE COMPLETELY
00:13:03.31\00:13:06.92
ESTRANGED FROM ME." ALRIGHT,
NOW LET'S GO TO THE LIFE
00:13:06.92\00:13:09.88
OF JESUS: JOHN 7:5 "'IF YOU DO
THESE THINGS,'" - HIS BROTHERS
00:13:09.88\00:13:15.09
SAID - "'SHOW YOURSELF TO THE
WORLD.' FOR EVEN HIS BROTHERS
00:13:15.09\00:13:18.89
DID NOT BELIEVE HIM."
NOW THEY CAME AROUND LATER.
00:13:18.89\00:13:23.00
JOB'S FRIENDS AND FAMILY CAME
AROUND LATER ALSO, BUT THERE WAS
00:13:23.00\00:13:26.87
A TIME WHEN HIS FRIENDS AND HIS
FAMILY AND HIS BRETHREN, THEY
00:13:26.87\00:13:30.47
FORSOOK HIM. AND YOU
CAN EVEN READ - IT SAYS
00:13:30.47\00:13:35.31
- NOT ONLY WAS IT HIS FRIENDS
AND HIS BROTHERS - JOB'S WIFE -
00:13:35.31\00:13:42.15
SHE SAYS TO HIM, 'CURSE
GOD AND DIE.' AND, YOU KNOW,
00:13:42.15\00:13:44.25
I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE,
YOU CAN'T HARDLY BLAME HER.
00:13:44.25\00:13:46.79
LOOK AT WHAT SHE HAD BEEN
THROUGH. SHE WAS, NO DOUBT,
00:13:46.79\00:13:49.09
TERRIBLY DISTRAUGHT. BUT
WHAT DOES A WIFE SYMBOLIZE?
00:13:49.09\00:13:52.23
WHAT DOES A WOMAN
SYMBOLIZE? >>A CHURCH.
00:13:52.23\00:13:54.23
>>WHAT IS A
CHURCH SOMETIMES CALLED?
00:13:54.23\00:13:56.40
'HUSBANDS LOVE YOUR WIVES AS
CHRIST LOVE THE CHURCH.' WHO WAS
00:13:56.40\00:14:01.24
IT THAT TURNED JESUS OVER
TO THE ROMANS TO BE CRUCIFIED?
00:14:01.24\00:14:05.84
HIS OWN PEOPLE. HIS OWN CHURCH.
00:14:05.84\00:14:10.35
AND SO, IN THE SAME WAY, JOB
WAS TOLD 'GO AHEAD AND DIE' BY
00:14:10.35\00:14:14.72
HIS WIFE, THE CHURCH HANDS JESUS
OVER TO THE ROMANS AND THEY SAY,
00:14:14.72\00:14:21.32
'WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO
DO?' THEY SAID, 'CRUCIFY HIM.
00:14:21.32\00:14:23.66
LET HIM DIE.'
FORSAKEN BY HIS OWN FAMILY.
00:14:23.66\00:14:28.50
YOU KNOW, ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE
YOU CAN SEE EXAMPLES OF FRIENDLY
00:14:28.50\00:14:30.73
FIRE AND JESUS SAID, 'DON'T BE
SURPRISED IN THE LAST DAYS, IF
00:14:30.73\00:14:35.84
YOU'RE FAITHFUL TO THE LORD - IF
YOU PUT JESUS FIRST - YOU MIGHT
00:14:35.84\00:14:39.87
FIND THAT SOME OF YOUR FOES
WILL BE PEOPLE FROM YOUR OWN
00:14:39.87\00:14:42.74
HOUSEHOLD. HE
WAS FALSELY ACCUSED.
00:14:42.74\00:14:49.55
HIS FRIENDS SAID, 'FOR YOUR
INIQUITY TEACHES YOUR MOUTH AND
00:14:49.55\00:14:52.65
YOU CHOOSE THE TONGUE OF
THE CRAFTY' - YOU'RE SUFFERING
00:14:52.65\00:14:55.16
BECAUSE OF YOUR SIN -
'WHAT'D YOU DO WRONG JOB?
00:14:55.16\00:14:56.99
'FESS UP.' JOB 22:5 - ELIPHAZ
SAYS, "IS NOT YOUR WICKEDNESS
00:14:56.99\00:15:02.86
GREAT, AND YOUR
INIQUITY WITHOUT END?"
00:15:02.86\00:15:05.73
WAS HE INNOCENT?
JOB WAS INNOCENT.
00:15:05.73\00:15:08.30
WAS HE BEING ACCUSED OF
GUILT? YES, HE WAS BEING ACCUSED
00:15:08.30\00:15:11.64
OF INIQUITY AND
WICKEDNESS. WHAT ABOUT JESUS?
00:15:11.64\00:15:14.08
MATTHEW 26 - AT HIS TRIAL -
BUT FIRST OF ALL, WHEN JESUS WAS
00:15:14.08\00:15:18.45
CASTING OUT DEVILS THEY
SAID, 'YOU'RE CASTING OUT DEVILS
00:15:18.45\00:15:20.72
THROUGH THE POWER OF
THE PRINCE OF DEVILS.
00:15:20.72\00:15:23.39
YOU'RE NOT FULL OF THE SPIRIT,
YOU'RE FULL OF THE DEVIL' -
00:15:23.39\00:15:25.72
TALKING ABOUT GETTING
IT WRONG. AND DID THEY GET
00:15:25.72\00:15:28.69
IT WRONG WITH JOB?
THEY TOTALLY WERE WRONG
00:15:28.69\00:15:31.96
ABOUT WHY HE WAS SUFFERING.
MATTHEW 26:59, "NOW THE CHIEF
00:15:31.96\00:15:37.70
PRIESTS, THE ELDERS, AND ALL THE
COUNCIL SOUGHT FALSE TESTIMONY
00:15:37.70\00:15:41.74
AGAINST JESUS TO PUT HIM
TO DEATH, BUT FOUND NONE. EVEN
00:15:41.74\00:15:45.34
THOUGH MANY FALSE WITNESSES
CAME FORWARD, THEY FOUND NONE."
00:15:45.34\00:15:49.34
THEY CAME AND ACCUSED HIM OF
EVERYTHING UNDER THE BOOK, AND
00:15:49.34\00:15:51.45
WHEN JESUS WAS BEING TRIED THERE
WAS A LONG PERIOD OF SILENCE AND
00:15:51.45\00:15:57.55
PILATE MARVELED. HE
SAID NOTHING TO HEROD.
00:15:57.55\00:16:00.19
HE DID FINALLY TALK TO
PILATE, BUT PILATE MARVELED.
00:16:00.19\00:16:02.39
HE SAID, 'DO YOU NOT HEAR HOW
MANY THINGS THEY WITNESS AGAINST
00:16:02.39\00:16:06.26
YOU? DO YOU SAY NOTHING?
00:16:06.26\00:16:07.96
DON'T YOU KNOW I'VE GOT
THE POWER TO DELIVER YOU?'
00:16:07.96\00:16:10.33
FINALLY JESUS SPOKE. HE
WAS QUIET FOR A LONG PERIOD.
00:16:10.33\00:16:15.50
WHAT ABOUT JOB, WAS
THERE A LONG PERIOD OF SILENCE?
00:16:15.50\00:16:17.81
YOU REMEMBER THE SEVEN DAYS
IN THE BEGINNING WHEN JOB IS
00:16:17.81\00:16:20.04
SUFFERING, HE SAYS NOTHING.
HIS FRIENDS SAY NOTHING.
00:16:20.04\00:16:24.81
FALSELY ACCUSED. HOW ABOUT JOB
- DID HE GO THROUGH STRIKING AND
00:16:24.81\00:16:30.49
SPITTING? JOB 17:6, "BUT HE HAS
MADE ME A BYWORD OF THE PEOPLE,
00:16:30.49\00:16:38.53
AND I HAVE BECOME ONE
IN WHOSE FACE MEN SPIT."
00:16:38.53\00:16:43.16
I TELL YOU, SOMETHING HAPPENED
TO ME I'LL NEVER FORGET.
00:16:43.16\00:16:46.00
THERE'S A LITTLE TRIVIA IN
HERE YOU MIGHT FIND INTERESTING.
00:16:46.00\00:16:48.44
ANY OF YOU EVER HEARD OF
AN ACTRESS NAMED JULIE HARRIS?
00:16:48.44\00:16:52.74
YOU EVER SEE THE
MOVING THE HIDING PLACE?
00:16:52.74\00:16:55.08
SHE'S A FAMOUS ACTRESS - THIS
WAS MANY YEARS AGO - SHE WAS
00:16:55.08\00:16:57.21
FRIENDS WITH MY
MOTHER. SHE HAD A SON.
00:16:57.21\00:16:59.75
I WON'T TELL YOU HIS
NAME, THOUGH I'M TEMPTED.
00:16:59.75\00:17:01.78
WE USED TO PLAY TOGETHER AND
WE'D GO TO THEIR FARM AND SHE
00:17:01.78\00:17:06.32
USED TO MAKE WILD STRAWBERRY PIE
AND - SO I REMEMBER WE'D SHOOT
00:17:06.32\00:17:09.86
BOWS AND ARROWS. BUT
THEY ALSO HAD A HOUSE IN THE
00:17:09.86\00:17:12.69
CITY AND SO I WENT TO SEE HER
SON AND TO PLAY WITH HIM AND, IN
00:17:12.69\00:17:18.07
NEW YORK, IN SOME OF THE HOUSES
THEY HAD A BRONZE MAIL SLOT AND
00:17:18.07\00:17:21.70
THERE'S A LITTLE THING YOU'D
FLIP UP AND YOU'D DROP THE MAIL
00:17:21.70\00:17:24.91
IN IT'D FALL ON THE FLOOR.
YOU'VE SEEN THESE BEFORE, RIGHT?
00:17:24.91\00:17:29.01
SO I'M KNOCKING ON THE DOOR AND
I HEAR THAT HE'S IN THE HOUSE
00:17:29.01\00:17:31.35
AND I SAY, 'COME ON OUT AND
PLAY.' AND I CALLED HIS NAME AND
00:17:31.35\00:17:34.18
I OPENED UP THE MAIL SLOT AND
HE COMES UP AND HE SPITS IN MY
00:17:34.18\00:17:37.65
FACE. NOW, I WAS
PROBABLY A PRETTY
00:17:37.65\00:17:41.56
OBNOXIOUS KID TOO AND, I MEAN,
I'M NOT MAKING IT SOUND LIKE I
00:17:41.56\00:17:44.39
WAS A SAINT, BUT I'VE NEVER
HAD ANYBODY - AND, YOU KNOW, I'M
00:17:44.39\00:17:48.33
ALREADY A LITTLE OCD ABOUT
BEING CLEAN AND STUFF - FOR
00:17:48.33\00:17:50.93
SOMEONE TO SPIT ON ME. THAT
- YOU EVER HAVE SOMEONE SPIT IN
00:17:50.93\00:17:57.04
YOUR FACE? AND THEY DID THIS TO
JESUS. AND, EVIDENTLY, SOME OF
00:17:57.04\00:18:03.04
THE TIME - HE STOPPED
BEING MY FRIEND AFTER THAT.
00:18:03.04\00:18:05.95
(LAUGHTER) EVIDENTLY, SOME OF
THE TIME THAT JOB WAS SUFFERING
00:18:05.95\00:18:13.36
- WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG
THE TIME WENT BY - WHILE HE WAS
00:18:13.36\00:18:16.56
SITTING ON THE CITY DUMP,
PEOPLE CAME BY AND THEY SAID,
00:18:16.56\00:18:19.49
'YOU'RE CURSED OF
GOD.' AND THEY SPIT ON HIM.
00:18:19.49\00:18:23.06
AND OTHERS STRUCK
HIM AND TAUNTED HIM.
00:18:23.06\00:18:27.47
AND GOING FROM BEING REVERED
AND IN TOWN TO THIS SITTING ON
00:18:27.47\00:18:34.31
THE DUMP AND EVERYBODY CURSING
YOU AND BEING THE BYWORD - I
00:18:34.31\00:18:38.95
MEAN, THAT WOULD BE LIKE JESUS
GOING FROM THE ANGELS' SONGS TO
00:18:38.95\00:18:42.82
THE CROSS. YOU
LOOK AT WHAT CHRIST WENT
00:18:42.82\00:18:45.25
THROUGH AND THE MOCKING
CROWD - STRIKING AND SPITTING.
00:18:45.25\00:18:50.03
YOU CAN ALSO READ HERE IN JOB
30:10, "THEY ABHOR ME, THEY KEEP
00:18:50.03\00:18:54.93
FAR FROM ME; THEY DO NOT
HESITATE TO SPIT IN MY FACE."
00:18:54.93\00:18:58.97
SO WE DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING
ABOUT WHAT JOB WENT THROUGH, BUT
00:18:58.97\00:19:01.77
IT MUST HAVE BEEN AWFUL. READ IN
JOB 16:10, "THEY GAPE AT ME WITH
00:19:01.77\00:19:06.34
THEIR MOUTH," - NOTICE THE WORD
'GAPE' THERE - "THEY STRIKE ME
00:19:06.34\00:19:09.41
REPROACHFULLY ON THE CHEEK, THEY
GATHER TOGETHER AGAINST ME."
00:19:09.41\00:19:15.28
NOW WHAT ABOUT THE SUFFERINGS
OF JESUS? DO YOU FIND THE SAME
00:19:15.28\00:19:17.42
WORDS? YOU DO. PSALM
22 - MESSIANIC PSALM -
00:19:17.42\00:19:22.39
"THEY GAPE AT ME WITH THEIR
MOUTHS," - HE QUOTES THE VERY
00:19:22.39\00:19:25.36
SAME THING THAT JOB SAYS.
MATTHEW 26, "THEN THEY SPAT
00:19:25.36\00:19:29.36
IN HIS FACE AND BEAT
HIM;" - THEY BEAT HIM - "AND
00:19:29.36\00:19:32.87
OTHERS STRUCK HIM WITH THE PALMS
OF THEIR HANDS" - SO THE VERY
00:19:32.87\00:19:36.84
THINGS THAT JOB IS GOING THROUGH
ARE TYPES OF THE SUFFERING OF
00:19:36.84\00:19:40.44
JESUS. ARE YOU BEGINNING TO
SEE THIS? AM I JUST - YOU KNOW,
00:19:40.44\00:19:43.85
SOMETIMES YOU'LL HEAR PEOPLE
MANUFACTURE REALLY STRANGE
00:19:43.85\00:19:48.22
COMPARISONS. YOU SAY,
'BOY, THEY'RE JUST TORTURING THE
00:19:48.22\00:19:50.35
TRUTH.' I DON'T WANT TO
TORTURE THE EVIDENCE FOR YOU.
00:19:50.35\00:19:52.79
I WANT YOU TO KNOW, IS IT
THERE? I MEAN, IS IT THERE?
00:19:52.79\00:19:56.83
I THINK YOU'RE SEEING, ALL
THROUGH THE STORY OF JOB, IN HIS
00:19:56.83\00:19:59.23
SUFFERINGS, YOU HAVE A SYMBOL
OF WHAT JESUS WAS GOING TO GO
00:19:59.23\00:20:03.03
THROUGH FOR YOU AND ME - WRITTEN
RIGHT THERE IN THE FIRST BOOK OF
00:20:03.03\00:20:06.74
THE BIBLE - I SHOULD SAY
THE OLDEST BOOK IN THE BIBLE.
00:20:06.74\00:20:10.81
SEPARATED FROM GOD - JOB WAS
SEPARATED - HE FELT THAT WAY.
00:20:10.81\00:20:16.28
JOB 13:24, "WHY DO YOU HIDE
YOUR FACE, AND REGARD ME AS YOUR
00:20:16.28\00:20:20.95
ENEMY?" JOB 23:8,
"LOOK, I GO FORWARD,
00:20:20.95\00:20:25.82
BUT HE IS NOT THERE, AND
BACKWARD, BUT I CANNOT PERCEIVE
00:20:25.82\00:20:28.52
HIM; WHEN HE WORKS ON THE LEFT
HAND, I CANNOT BEHOLD HIM; WHEN
00:20:28.52\00:20:32.73
HE TURNS TO THE RIGHT
HAND, I CANNOT SEE HIM."
00:20:32.73\00:20:35.23
JOB 30:20, "I CRY OUT TO
YOU, BUT YOU DO NOT ANSWER ME; I
00:20:35.23\00:20:38.50
STAND UP, AND YOU REGARD ME."
00:20:38.50\00:20:40.50
HE FELT TOTALLY CUT
OFF AND ISOLATED BY GOD.
00:20:40.50\00:20:43.10
HE DIDN'T KNOW WHY
THIS WAS HAPPENING.
00:20:43.10\00:20:45.07
YOU READ ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE OF
JESUS, HANGING ON THE CROSS AND
00:20:45.07\00:20:48.41
THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE, 'AT
THE NINTH HOUR, CHRIST CRIED OUT
00:20:48.41\00:20:52.71
WITH A LOUD VOICE SAYING,
'ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?
00:20:52.71\00:20:57.39
WHICH IS TRANSLATED, 'MY GOD, MY
GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?'"
00:20:57.39\00:21:02.26
DID JESUS EXPERIENCE
THE ABANDONMENT OF GOD?
00:21:02.26\00:21:07.00
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT
IT MEANS TO BE LOST, AND I HEAR
00:21:07.00\00:21:10.37
THIS MORE AMONG EVANGELICAL
PREACHERS, THEY TALK ABOUT
00:21:10.37\00:21:12.70
ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM GOD
BECAUSE BEING SAVED IN HEAVEN,
00:21:12.70\00:21:18.17
GOD HIMSELF WILL BE WITH THEM.
ADAM AND EVE SINNED - THEY RAN
00:21:18.17\00:21:22.68
FROM GOD - THERE WAS
A SEPARATION FROM GOD.
00:21:22.68\00:21:26.58
SIN SEPARATES. SIN
SEPARATES YOU FROM GOD.
00:21:26.58\00:21:29.58
IT SEPARATES US FROM EACH OTHER.
AND SIN SEPARATES YOU FROM YOU.
00:21:29.58\00:21:34.02
YOU WON'T EVEN LIKE YOURSELF.
NOW GOD, IN HIS SPIRIT, HE
00:21:34.02\00:21:37.33
BRINGS IN UNITY WITH HIM, WITH
EACH OTHER, AND WITH YOURSELF.
00:21:37.33\00:21:43.37
AND JOB FELT TOTALLY ISOLATED
FROM EVERYBODY AND FROM GOD.
00:21:43.37\00:21:48.07
JESUS EXPERIENCED THAT ON
THE CROSS AND IN THE GARDEN OF
00:21:48.07\00:21:52.07
GETHSEMANE. POINT #
- OH YEAH, LET ME SEE
00:21:52.07\00:21:55.01
HERE - YEAH, POINT #11, SOME
OF - JUST LOOK AT SOME OF THE
00:21:55.01\00:21:58.98
PHYSICAL SUFFERING - JUST
THE PLAIN OLD PRIMAL PHYSICAL
00:21:58.98\00:22:01.98
SUFFERING THAT JOB WENT THROUGH.
SO, JOB 2, VERSE 7, "SO SATAN
00:22:01.98\00:22:06.32
WENT OUT FROM THE PRESENCE
OF THE LORD, AND STRUCK JOB WITH
00:22:06.32\00:22:09.52
PAINFUL BOILS FROM THE SOLE
OF HIS FOOT TO THE CROWN OF HIS
00:22:09.52\00:22:14.20
HEAD. AND HE TOOK FOR HIMSELF
A POTSHERD WITH WHICH TO SCRAPE
00:22:14.20\00:22:18.67
HIMSELF WHILE HE SAT IN
THE MIDST OF THE ASHES."
00:22:18.67\00:22:21.54
HE WAS JUST IN AGONY.
00:22:21.54\00:22:22.97
I THINK I TOLD YOU BEFORE, I
HAD A - I STARTED THIS SERIES SO
00:22:22.97\00:22:26.84
LONG AGO, I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT
I SAID, BUT I WAS AT A SUMMER
00:22:26.84\00:22:30.38
CAMP IN THE FLORIDA KEYS AND
I GOT BIT BY A SPIDER THAT - WE
00:22:30.38\00:22:34.95
DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS -
OR SOMETHING - THAT'S WHAT THE
00:22:34.95\00:22:36.75
DOCTOR WAS SPECULATING AND
IT CAUSED TWO BOILS, ONE FAIRLY
00:22:36.75\00:22:40.92
SMALL, BUT ONE BIG ONE - YEAH,
I THINK I TOLD YOU THIS - ON MY
00:22:40.92\00:22:43.96
LEG - AND ALL I COULD THINK -
I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT - I JUST
00:22:43.96\00:22:47.10
ROLLED BACK AND FORTH IN MY BUNK
- THIS METAL BUNK - AND I KEPT
00:22:47.10\00:22:51.40
SAYING, 'THE PAIN! THE PAIN!'
MY FRIENDS MADE IT EVEN WORSE,
00:22:51.40\00:22:54.77
THE OTHER CAMPERS GOT TIRED
OF ME AND THEY WERE SAYING,
00:22:54.77\00:22:57.04
'THE PAIN! THE PAIN!'
AND HERE I'M SUFFERING.
00:22:57.04\00:23:00.38
I MEAN, I WAS NEVER IN SO MUCH
PAIN IN MY LIFE - THERE'S THIS
00:23:00.38\00:23:03.08
BOIL ON MY LEG - FINALLY THEY
GOT ME TO SEE THE DOCTOR AND HE
00:23:03.08\00:23:07.78
LANCED IT AND I DON'T NEED
TO TELL YOU, BUT I WILL, BOILS -
00:23:07.78\00:23:11.55
IT'S NOT PRETTY WHAT COMES
OUT - AND JOB IS COVERED WITH
00:23:11.55\00:23:15.59
LOATHSOME PAINFUL BOILS.
WHAT'S ONE OF THE PLAGUES THAT'S
00:23:15.59\00:23:18.76
GOING TO COME ON THE WICKED
IN THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES?
00:23:18.76\00:23:21.43
>>SORES. >>BOILS - SIGN OF THAT.
00:23:21.43\00:23:25.77
PHYSICAL
SUFFERING HE WENT THROUGH.
00:23:25.77\00:23:29.30
HEBREWS 13:12, "THEREFORE JESUS
ALSO, THAT HE MIGHT SANCTIFY THE
00:23:29.30\00:23:35.68
PEOPLE WITH HIS OWN BLOOD,
SUFFERED OUTSIDE THE GATE."
00:23:35.68\00:23:40.38
WHERE DID JOB SUFFER? HE
WENT OUT TO THE CITY DUMP.
00:23:40.38\00:23:44.55
THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE
DUMP INSIDE THE CITY.
00:23:44.55\00:23:46.52
THEY HAD A PILE OF BROKEN RUBBLE
AT THE DUMP OUTSIDE THE CITY.
00:23:46.52\00:23:50.23
JOB WAS OUTSIDE THE
CITY GATE SUFFERING.
00:23:50.23\00:23:52.63
JESUS SUFFERED OUTSIDE THE GATE.
HE WAS PHYSICALLY DISFIGURED
00:23:52.63\00:23:57.40
BY HIS SUFFERINGS. JOB
2, VERSE 12, "AND WHEN THEY
00:23:57.40\00:24:02.14
RAISED THEIR EYES FROM AFAR.,
AND DID NOT RECOGNIZE HIM, THEY
00:24:02.14\00:24:06.44
LIFTED THEIR VOICES AND WEPT;"
- HIS SUFFERINGS, FIRST OF ALL -
00:24:06.44\00:24:10.68
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A PERSON
GO THROUGH A TERRIBLE TRIAL?
00:24:10.68\00:24:13.18
AND EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS
NOTHING PHYSICAL, JUST THE
00:24:13.18\00:24:15.72
EMOTIONAL TRIAL THEY WENT
THROUGH VISIBLY CHANGED THEIR
00:24:15.72\00:24:18.72
APPEARANCE. DO ANY OF YOU
KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?
00:24:18.72\00:24:22.02
I'VE SEEN PEOPLE THAT JUST WENT
THROUGH SOMETHING, YOU CAN LOOK
00:24:22.02\00:24:24.23
AT THEM AND SAY, 'WOW,
WHAT HAPPENED? THEY WEREN'T
00:24:24.23\00:24:26.66
PHYSICALLY SICK, BUT THEY JUST
WENT THROUGH SO MUCH IT STRAINED
00:24:26.66\00:24:30.40
THEM. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT ABOUT
JESUS - ISAIAH 52, VERSE 14,
00:24:30.40\00:24:35.97
"JUST AS MANY WERE ASTONISHED
AT YOU," - AND ISAIAH 52 IS A
00:24:35.97\00:24:39.31
PROPHECY ABOUT THE MESSIAH - YOU
ALL KNOW THAT - "JUST AS MANY
00:24:39.31\00:24:42.61
WERE ASTONISHED AT YOU, SO HIS
VISAGE WAS MARRED MORE THAN ANY
00:24:42.61\00:24:46.55
MAN, AND HIS FORM
MORE THAN THE SONS OF MEN;"
00:24:46.55\00:24:50.75
AND THEN YOU'LL FIND, IN
A COUPLE DIFFERENT PLACES, A
00:24:50.75\00:24:53.42
REFERENCE TO A
CROSS AND A CROWN.
00:24:53.42\00:24:56.32
DO YOU FIND A CROSS AND A CROWN
MENTIONED IN THE LIFE OF JESUS?
00:24:56.32\00:25:00.10
YOU KNOW, IT'S ALSO IN THE BOOK
OF JOB - JOB 31:36, "SURELY I
00:25:00.10\00:25:06.33
WOULD CARRY IT ON MY SHOULDER,"
- HE'S GOT SOMETHING ON HIS
00:25:06.33\00:25:09.60
SHOULDER - JESUS HAD A CROSS
- "AND BIND IT ON ME LIKE A
00:25:09.60\00:25:12.74
CROWN;" - CHRIST WAS WEARING A
CROWN OF THORNS AND HAD A CROSS
00:25:12.74\00:25:16.01
ON HIS SHOULDER.
MATTHEW 10:38, "AND HE WHO DOES
00:25:16.01\00:25:19.91
NOT TAKE HIS CROSS AND FOLLOW
AFTER ME IS NOT WORTHY OF ME."
00:25:19.91\00:25:23.35
MATTHEW 27:29, "WHEN THEY HAD
TWISTED A CROWN OF THORNS, THEY
00:25:23.35\00:25:28.02
PUT IT ON HIS HEAD, AND
A REED IN HIS RIGHT HAND."
00:25:28.02\00:25:30.96
AND THEN THEY TAKE THE REED FROM
JESUS AND THEY BEAT HIM ON THE
00:25:30.96\00:25:33.19
HEAD, DRIVING THE THORNS IN.
JOB WAS EXPERIENCING A CROWN OF
00:25:33.19\00:25:39.07
SUFFERING AND A
BURDEN ON HIS SHOULDER.
00:25:39.07\00:25:42.14
PIERCED BY IRON - WAS
JESUS PIERCED BY IRON?
00:25:42.14\00:25:47.41
LISTEN ABOUT JOB - JOB 20, VERSE
24, "HE WILL FLEE FROM THE IRON
00:25:47.41\00:25:52.75
WEAPON; A BRONZE BOW
WILL PIERCE HIM THROUGH.
00:25:52.75\00:25:56.48
IT IS DRAWN, AND COMES OUT
OF THE BODY; YES, THE GLITTERING
00:25:56.48\00:25:59.29
POINT COMES OUT OF HIS GALL.
TERRORS COME UPON HIM;" MARK
00:25:59.29\00:26:04.16
15:25, "NOW IT WAS THE THIRD
HOUR, AND THEY CRUCIFIED HIM."
00:26:04.16\00:26:09.50
OF COURSE, THEY PIERCED HIS
HANDS AND HIS FEET, AND IT SAYS
00:26:09.50\00:26:13.74
ONE OF THE SOLDIERS - JOHN
19:34 - "PIERCED HIS SIDE WITH A
00:26:13.74\00:26:17.84
SPEAR," - ROMANS TRADITIONALLY
HAD IRON SWORDS, SPEARS,
00:26:17.84\00:26:21.54
AND THE NAILS WOULD HAVE BEEN
IRON AS WELL - PIERCED BY IRON -
00:26:21.54\00:26:26.05
HIS FEET CONFINED. JOB
13:27, "YOU PUT MY FEET IN
00:26:26.05\00:26:32.99
THE STOCKS, AND
WATCH CLOSELY ALL MY PATHS.
00:26:32.99\00:26:36.19
YOU SET A LIMIT FOR
THE SOLES OF MY FEET."
00:26:36.19\00:26:38.46
HE CAN'T MOVE HIS
FEET IS WHAT THAT MEANS.
00:26:38.46\00:26:41.40
DID JESUS EXPERIENCE
THAT WHEN HE WAS CRUCIFIED?
00:26:41.40\00:26:44.83
PSALM 22, "FOR DOGS HAVE
SURROUNDED ME; THE CONGREGATION
00:26:44.83\00:26:48.14
OF THE WICKED HAS ENCLOSED ME.
00:26:48.14\00:26:50.34
THEY PIERCED MY
HANDS AND MY FEET."
00:26:50.34\00:26:53.21
CHRIST WAS
PIERCED. JOB WAS PIERCED.
00:26:53.21\00:26:56.41
HIS FEET WERE CONFINED -
YOU KNOW, TALK ABOUT BEING IN
00:26:56.41\00:26:59.35
PRISON, YOU CAN'T BE MORE
IMPRISONED THAN BEING CRUCIFIED.
00:26:59.35\00:27:04.32
POINT #16 - STRIPPED OF CLOTHING
- JOB 21 - I'M SORRY, JOB 1:21 -
00:27:04.32\00:27:11.89
AND HE SAID, "NAKED I CAME FROM
MY MOTHER'S WOMB, AND NAKED I
00:27:11.89\00:27:15.80
SHALL RETURN THERE. THE
LORD GAVE, AND THE LORD HAS
00:27:15.80\00:27:18.83
TAKEN AWAY; BLESSED
BE THE NAME OF THE LORD."
00:27:18.83\00:27:21.74
JESUS WAS STRIPPED.
MATTHEW 27:28, "WHEN THEY
00:27:21.74\00:27:26.21
STRIPPED HIM AND PUT
A SCARLET ROBE ON HIM."
00:27:26.21\00:27:29.81
YOU KNOW, JUST IN CASE YOU'RE
WONDERING, WHAT COLOR WAS THE
00:27:29.81\00:27:32.75
ROBE THAT JESUS WAS
GIVEN WHEN HE WAS MOCKED?
00:27:32.75\00:27:38.55
>>PURPLE. >>PURPLE?
I JUST READ SCARLET.
00:27:38.55\00:27:41.89
HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED IN THE
BIBLE, ONE PLACE SAYS SCARLET,
00:27:41.89\00:27:43.73
ONE PLACE SAYS PURPLE?
PROBABLY BECAUSE IT WAS BOTH.
00:27:43.73\00:27:47.46
SOMETIMES - JUST - I WANT
YOU TO KNOW THAT BECAUSE YOU
00:27:47.46\00:27:50.13
MIGHT BE BE
TESTED ON THAT SOMEDAY.
00:27:50.13\00:27:52.23
SOMEONE'LL SAY, 'THE BIBLE'S
INCONSISTENT.' HE WAS WEARING -
00:27:52.23\00:27:54.70
YOU READ IN LUKE IT SAYS THEY
PUT A 'SPLENDID' ROBE ON HIM.
00:27:54.70\00:27:58.47
THE ROYALTY, LIKE KING HEROD
AND THOSE PEOPLE, THEY HAD ROBES
00:27:58.47\00:28:01.64
THAT HAD PURPLE AND SCARLET
IN THEM, AND SO, IT PROBABLY HAD
00:28:01.64\00:28:05.11
BOTH. SOME OF THE
BIBLE WRITERS SAID,
00:28:05.11\00:28:07.68
'OH, IT WAS A
SCARLET ROBE' - WELL IT WAS.
00:28:07.68\00:28:09.78
MAYBE IT HAD A
PURPLE BORDER - WHO KNOWS?
00:28:09.78\00:28:12.32
ANYWAY, PROBABLY BOTH, BUT
IT WAS THE ROYAL ROBES THAT THEY
00:28:12.32\00:28:14.99
PUT ON HIM TO MOCK HIM AS A
KING. SO THEY STRIPPED HIM OF
00:28:14.99\00:28:19.09
HIS CLOTHES AND PUT
A SCARLET ROBE ON HIM.
00:28:19.09\00:28:22.66
JOHN 19:24, "THEY SAID THEREFORE
AMONG THEMSELVES, 'LET US NOT
00:28:22.66\00:28:27.00
TEAR IT, BUT CAST LOTS FOR
IT, WHOSE IT SHALL BE,' THAT THE
00:28:27.00\00:28:31.24
SCRIPTURE MIGHT BE FULFILLED
WHICH SAYS: 'THEY DIVIDED MY
00:28:31.24\00:28:34.24
GARMENTS AMONG THEM, AND
FOR MY CLOTHING THEY CAST LOTS.'
00:28:34.24\00:28:37.68
THEREFORE THE
SOLDIERS DID THESE THINGS."
00:28:37.68\00:28:40.45
THEY TOOK AWAY
HIS CLOTHING FROM HIM.
00:28:40.45\00:28:43.08
HE WAS MOCKED BY THE MULTITUDE
- THIS IS POINT #17 - JOB 30,
00:28:43.08\00:28:48.86
VERSE 9, "AND NOW I AM THEIR
TAUNTING SONG; YES, I AM THEIR
00:28:48.86\00:28:52.56
BYWORD." THIS, TO
ME, IS SO AMAZING.
00:28:52.56\00:28:55.30
I'M READING THE OLDEST BOOK
OF SCRIPTURE AND IT IS PERFECTLY
00:28:55.30\00:28:59.63
DESCRIBING THE PARTICULARS
OF WHAT THE MESSIAH WOULD GO
00:28:59.63\00:29:03.37
THROUGH TWO
THOUSAND YEARS LATER.
00:29:03.37\00:29:05.44
I KEEP WAITING TO HEAR
GASPS FROM THE AUDIENCE.
00:29:05.44\00:29:08.04
>>AMEN. >>THIS
IS SO AMAZING TO ME
00:29:08.04\00:29:11.18
BECAUSE HOW COULD
YOU EVER FABRICATE THAT?
00:29:11.18\00:29:13.48
WE KNOW THE BOOK OF JOB WAS
WRITTEN BEFORE JESUS WAS BORN,
00:29:13.48\00:29:17.55
FROM THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS, AND
YET IT PERFECTLY DESCRIBES THOSE
00:29:17.55\00:29:21.52
THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS -
THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE OF JOB WHEN
00:29:21.52\00:29:25.06
HE WENT THROUGH THAT SUFFERING.
HE WENT THROUGH THAT CRUCIBLE
00:29:25.06\00:29:28.26
OF PAIN FOR YOU AND ME.
YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION
00:29:28.26\00:29:31.40
BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO COME
UP IN THE STORY BEFORE I'M DONE.
00:29:31.40\00:29:35.17
YOU KNOW, IF EVER I WANT SOMEONE
TO READ A BOOK I'VE WRITTEN, I
00:29:35.17\00:29:38.17
GIVE IT TO THEM AND I SAY, 'I
THINK YOU'RE MENTIONED IN THERE
00:29:38.17\00:29:39.84
SOMEWHERE.' (LAUGHTER)
AND THEN THEY READ THE BOOK.
00:29:39.84\00:29:42.24
(LAUGHTER) IT'S LIKE IF I SHOW
YOU A PHOTOGRAPH AND SAY, 'I
00:29:42.24\00:29:44.55
THINK YOU'RE IN THE PICTURE
SOMEWHERE.' YOU WILL SCAN THAT
00:29:44.55\00:29:46.92
PHOTOGRAPH. 'I AM
THEIR TAUNTING SONG' -
00:29:46.92\00:29:53.59
THAT'S JOB 30, VERSE 9 -
"YES, I AM THEIR BYWORD."
00:29:53.59\00:29:56.39
DID THEY MOCK JESUS? >>YES.
00:29:56.39\00:29:58.66
>>LUKE 22:63, "NOW THE MEN WHO
HELD JESUS MOCKED HIM AND BEAT
00:29:58.66\00:30:03.30
HIM." PSALM 22 - PROPHECY ABOUT
THE MESSIAH - "ALL THOSE WHO SEE
00:30:03.30\00:30:08.34
ME RIDICULE ME; THEY SHOOT
OUT THE LIP, THEY SHAKE THE HEAD
00:30:08.34\00:30:12.31
SAYING, 'HE TRUSTED IN THE LORD,
LET HIM RESCUE HIM; LET HIM
00:30:12.31\00:30:15.48
DELIVER HIM, SIN
HE DELIGHTS IN HIM!'"
00:30:15.48\00:30:17.68
THEY SAID, 'JOB, IF GOD IS WITH
YOU THE WHY ARE YOU SUFFERING?'
00:30:17.68\00:30:21.12
THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT THEY SAID TO JESUS.
00:30:21.12\00:30:24.62
POINT #18: HE'S
IDENTIFIED WITH THE WICKED.
00:30:24.62\00:30:29.19
THEY SAID, 'YOU MUST BE WICKED.'
JOB 34:7 AND 8, "WHAT MAN IS
00:30:29.19\00:30:34.96
LIKE JOB, WHO DRINKS SCORN LIKE
WATER, WHO GOES IN COMPANY WITH
00:30:34.96\00:30:38.90
THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY,
AND WALKS WITH WICKED MEN?"
00:30:38.90\00:30:43.94
SPEAKING OF JESUS AND HIS DEATH:
HE MADE HIS GRAVE WITH THE
00:30:43.94\00:30:46.78
WICKED - HE'S
CRUCIFIED BETWEEN TWO THIEVES.
00:30:46.78\00:30:49.74
MATTHEW 27 - TWO ROBBERS WERE
CRUCIFIED - ONE ON THE RIGHT AND
00:30:49.74\00:30:53.31
THE OTHER ON THE LEFT AND HIM
IN THE MIDDLE - HANGING OUT WITH
00:30:53.31\00:30:56.65
THE WICKED. THEY
ALSO ACCUSED JESUS DURING
00:30:56.65\00:30:59.05
HIS LIFE AND MINISTRY OF
HANGING OUT WITH THE WICKED.
00:30:59.05\00:31:02.19
I'M GLAD HE DID - THERE'D
BE NO HOPE FOR YOU AND ME.
00:31:02.19\00:31:04.46
MATTHEW 9:10 AND 11, "NOW IT
HAPPENED, AS JESUS SAT AT THE
00:31:04.46\00:31:07.50
TABLE IN THE HOUSE, THAT BEHOLD,
MANY TAX COLLECTORS AND SINNERS
00:31:07.50\00:31:11.47
CAME AND SAT DOWN WITH
HIM AND HIS DISCIPLES."
00:31:11.47\00:31:14.54
AND THE PHARISEES SAW AND THEY
SAID TO THE DISCIPLES - THEY
00:31:14.54\00:31:17.17
WERE OUTRAGED - 'WHY DOES YOUR
TEACHER EAT WITH TAX COLLECTORS
00:31:17.17\00:31:20.41
AND SINNERS? HE'S
HANGING OUT WITH THE WICKED.'
00:31:20.41\00:31:23.58
WELL, THAT'S WHAT
THEY SAID ABOUT JOB.
00:31:23.58\00:31:27.25
HE SURRENDERED HIS CROWN
AND GLORY - JOB 19:9 - "HE HAS
00:31:27.25\00:31:32.39
STRIPPED ME OF MY GLORY AND
TAKEN MY CROWN FROM MY HEAD."
00:31:32.39\00:31:36.42
DID JESUS LAY ASIDE HIS CROWN?
00:31:36.42\00:31:39.29
WAS JESUS STRIPPED FROM HIS
GLORY SO THAT HE COULD SAVE YOU
00:31:39.29\00:31:42.50
AND ME? CAME DOWN
FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH?
00:31:42.50\00:31:45.03
NOTICE, HEBREWS 2, VERSE 9, "BUT
WE SEE JESUS, WHO WAS MADE A
00:31:45.03\00:31:49.77
LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS,
FOR THE SUFFERING OF DEATH
00:31:49.77\00:31:52.81
CROWNED WITH GLORY AND HONOR,
THAT HE, BY THE GRACE OF GOD,
00:31:52.81\00:31:56.64
MIGHT TASTE DEATH FOR EVERYONE."
JESUS WAS STRIPPED OF HIS CROWN.
00:31:56.64\00:32:02.62
HE EXPERIENCED DARKNESS.
JOB 10, VERSE 21, "BEFORE I GO
00:32:02.62\00:32:10.19
TO THE PLACE FROM WHICH I
SHALL NOT RETURN, TO THE LAND OF
00:32:10.19\00:32:13.43
DARKNESS AND THE SHADOW
OF DEATH, A LAND AS DARK AS
00:32:13.43\00:32:16.73
DARKNESS ITSELF, AS THE SHADOW
OF DEATH, WITHOUT ANY ORDER,
00:32:16.73\00:32:20.34
WHERE EVEN THE
LIGHT IS LIKE DARKNESS."
00:32:20.34\00:32:23.67
JOB, IN HIS SUFFERING WAS FACING
THE SECOND DEATH, FROM WHICH
00:32:23.67\00:32:28.21
THERE IS NO RESURRECTION.
NOW YOU SEE THAT ALL THROUGH THE
00:32:28.21\00:32:32.18
STORY OF JOB, HIS FAITH IS BEING
TESTED AND HE KIND OF WAVERS.
00:32:32.18\00:32:35.18
LATER HE COMES OUT TRIUMPHANT
AND SAYS, 'THOUGH HE SLAY ME YET
00:32:35.18\00:32:38.42
WILL I TRUST HIM.' BUT THERE
WERE PERIODS DURING THOSE WEEKS
00:32:38.42\00:32:41.42
HE SAYS, 'I AM FACING WHAT LOOKS
LIKE A DEATH FROM WHICH THERE IS
00:32:41.42\00:32:44.79
NO RETURN. JUST
ETERNAL DARKNESS.
00:32:44.79\00:32:48.93
JESUS FACED THAT IN THE GARDEN
OF GETHSEMANE AND ON THE CROSS.
00:32:48.93\00:32:53.34
MATTHEW 27:45, "NOW FROM
THE SIXTH HOUR TO THE NINTH HOUR
00:32:53.34\00:32:57.97
THERE WAS DARKNESS
OVER ALL THE LAND."
00:32:57.97\00:33:00.81
AND JESUS, WHEN HE HUNG UPON THE
CROSS, AT FIRST, AND EVEN IN THE
00:33:00.81\00:33:05.25
GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE, HE WAS
BEARING THE SINS OF THE WORLD.
00:33:05.25\00:33:10.05
HE WAS EXPERIENCING THE PENALTY
FOR PERFECT WICKEDNESS - IT'S
00:33:10.05\00:33:14.59
LIKE JOB WAS BEING TREATED LIKE
A PERFECT SINNER - THE JUDGMENTS
00:33:14.59\00:33:17.33
THAT FELL ON JOB ARE WHAT YOU
WOULD EXPECT TO FALL ON A PERSON
00:33:17.33\00:33:20.46
WHO WAS A TERRIBLE SINNER.
EVEN HIS FRIENDS THOUGHT THAT.
00:33:20.46\00:33:23.50
THAT'S WHY A LOT OF WHAT HIS
FRIENDS SAY ARE BASICALLY TRUE -
00:33:23.50\00:33:27.67
THAT GOD BLESSES OBEDIENCE, AND
THERE'S CURSES THAT FALL ON THE
00:33:27.67\00:33:32.04
WICKED, AND JOB LOOKED LIKE
HE WAS CURSED - BUT THEY WERE
00:33:32.04\00:33:36.21
WRONG. IT WAS A TEST.
NOW YOU MAY GO THROUGH A TEST
00:33:36.21\00:33:41.18
BEFORE IT'S OVER AND
WONDER, 'WHAT DID I DO?'
00:33:41.18\00:33:43.15
AND YOU MAY FEEL LIKE THERE'S NO
LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.
00:33:43.15\00:33:46.05
YOU EVER FELT TOTAL DARKNESS,
LIKE WHEN YOU PRAY - GOD DOESN'T
00:33:46.05\00:33:49.39
HEAR YOUR PRAYERS AND YOU JUST
FEEL LIKE THERE'S NO PURPOSE AND
00:33:49.39\00:33:55.06
YOU JUST CAN'T REMEMBER ANY GOOD
EXPERIENCE WITH THE LORD AND -
00:33:55.06\00:33:58.17
IF YOU'VE EVER STRUGGLED WITH
DEPRESSION WHERE YOU JUST - JUST
00:33:58.17\00:34:02.70
CAN'T SEE YOUR WAY OUT - SOME
PEOPLE GET IT SO BAD THEY TAKE
00:34:02.70\00:34:05.27
THEIR LIVES. JOB
WAS AT THAT POINT
00:34:05.27\00:34:08.18
WISHING FOR DEATH. YOU
REMEMBER READING CHAPTER 3
00:34:08.18\00:34:10.75
EARLIER - WITH JOB PRAYING AND
CURSING THE DAY HE WAS BORN -
00:34:10.75\00:34:13.85
PRAYING FOR DEATH
SAYING IT WOULD BE A RELIEF?
00:34:13.85\00:34:16.25
THE DARKNESS THAT HE
EXPERIENCED, THAT'S WHAT JESUS
00:34:16.25\00:34:19.25
EXPERIENCED FOR YOU - HE DID IT
WILLINGLY, TO SAVE YOU AND ME.
00:34:19.25\00:34:23.39
>>AMEN. >>AND WHEN
HE WAS ON THE CROSS
00:34:23.39\00:34:25.29
THERE WAS A
SUPERNATURAL DARKNESS.
00:34:25.29\00:34:28.83
THEN YOU NOTICE, JOB IS AN
INTERCESSOR - JOB 1:4 AND 5 -
00:34:28.83\00:34:36.91
THE BEGINNING OF THE BOOK OF JOB
HE IS PRAYING AND SACRIFICING
00:34:36.91\00:34:41.34
AND INTERCEDING IN
BEHALF OF HIS FAMILY.
00:34:41.34\00:34:45.88
JOB IS A
PRIEST. HE'S A MEDIATOR.
00:34:45.88\00:34:49.22
HE'S AN INTERCESSOR AND IT SAYS
"HIS SONS WOULD GO AND FEAST IN
00:34:49.22\00:34:53.19
THEIR HOUSES, EACH ONE ON HIS
APPOINTED DAY, AND THEY'D SEND
00:34:53.19\00:34:56.09
AND INVITE THEIR THREE SISTERS
TO EAT AND DRINK WITH THEM.
00:34:56.09\00:34:58.86
SO IT WAS, WHEN THE DAYS OF
FEASTING HAD RUN THEIR COURSE,
00:34:58.86\00:35:01.43
THAT JOB WOULD SEND AND SANCTIFY
THEM, AND HE WOULD RISE EARLY IN
00:35:01.43\00:35:04.97
THE MORNING AND OFFER
BURNT OFFERINGS ACCORDING TO THE
00:35:04.97\00:35:07.14
NUMBER OF THEM ALL. FOR
JOB SAID, 'IT MAY BE THAT MY
00:35:07.14\00:35:10.44
SONS HAVE SINNED AND
CURSED GOD IN THEIR HEARTS.'"
00:35:10.44\00:35:12.57
HE IS PRAYING FOR THEM ALL.
HE IS THE PRIEST OF THE FAMILY.
00:35:12.57\00:35:16.04
"THUS JOB DID REGULARLY."
HOW OFTEN DOES HE DO IT?
00:35:16.04\00:35:20.28
HE'S CONSTANTLY
INTERCEDING AND PRAYING.
00:35:20.28\00:35:23.59
GO TO THE END
OF THE BOOK OF JOB.
00:35:23.59\00:35:26.02
"NOW THEREFORE, TAKE FOR
YOURSELF SEVEN BULLS AND SEVEN
00:35:26.02\00:35:28.79
RAMS AND GO TO MY SERVANT
JOB AND OFFER UP FOR YOURSELVES
00:35:28.79\00:35:32.53
BURNT OFFERINGS AND MY SERVANT
JOB WILL PRAY FOR YOU AND I WILL
00:35:32.53\00:35:36.26
ACCEPT HIM." 'I'M NOT
GOING TO DO IT FOR YOUR
00:35:36.26\00:35:38.33
SAKE, BUT FOR HIS SAKE I
WILL ANSWER YOUR PRAYER.'
00:35:38.33\00:35:41.74
IN WHOSE NAME DO
WE PRAY? >>JESUS.
00:35:41.74\00:35:44.87
>>WE COME IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
THE LORD TOLD JOB'S FRIENDS,
00:35:44.87\00:35:48.24
'I AM ONLY GOING TO ANSWER YOUR
PRAY IF JOB INTERCEDES FOR YOU.'
00:35:48.24\00:35:53.05
YOU KNOW, THAT'S GOOD
NEWS, REALLY, FOR YOU AND ME.
00:35:53.05\00:35:54.68
BECAUSE JESUS HAS MORE CLOUT
WITH GOD THAN JOB DOES AND WE
00:35:54.68\00:35:59.05
CAN GO TO CHRIST - I'M SORRY
- WE CAN GO TO THE FATHER IN
00:35:59.05\00:36:02.36
CHRIST'S NAME AND HE WILL
FORGIVE, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.
00:36:02.36\00:36:06.83
JUST AS, THE BIBLE SAYS,
JOB INTERCEDED FOR HIS FRIENDS.
00:36:06.83\00:36:09.96
THAT'S GOOD NEWS. OH,
BY THE WAY, LET ME GIVE YOU
00:36:09.96\00:36:12.63
A NEW TESTAMENT VERSE: ROMANS
8:34, "WHO IS HE WHO CONDEMNS?
00:36:12.63\00:36:18.71
IT IS CHRIST WHO DIED, AND
FURTHERMORE IS ALSO RISEN, WHO
00:36:18.71\00:36:22.18
IS EVEN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF
GOD, WHO ALSO MAKES INTERCESSION
00:36:22.18\00:36:27.68
FOR US." IT SAYS HE EVER LIVES
TO MAKE INTERCESSION FOR US.
00:36:27.68\00:36:32.25
JOB DID THIS REGULARLY AND
JESUS IS OUR PRIEST, HE IS OUR
00:36:32.25\00:36:35.66
MEDIATOR, AND HE
IS OUR INTERCESSOR.
00:36:35.66\00:36:37.46
AMEN? DO YOU SEE THE CONNECTION?
00:36:37.46\00:36:39.93
NOW WE'RE GOING TO
TAKE A LITTLE DETOUR.
00:36:39.93\00:36:42.20
SOMETHING INTERESTING HAPPENS IN
THE BOOK OF JOB AND I'M TAKING A
00:36:42.20\00:36:44.70
DETOUR BECAUSE
JOB TOOK A DETOUR.
00:36:44.70\00:36:47.20
YOU'RE READING ALONG IN THE BOOK
OF JOB - GO WITH ME TO THE BOOK
00:36:47.20\00:36:49.77
OF JOB CHAPTER 41 AND -
I'VE JUST BEEN READING OUT OF MY
00:36:49.77\00:36:56.08
NOTES HERE, BUT I'M GOING
TO GO, ACTUALLY, TO THE PAGE.
00:36:56.08\00:36:59.25
AND GOD IS TALKING - GOD IS
TALKING ABOUT EVIDENCE OF HIS
00:36:59.25\00:37:04.45
POWER - AND JUST BEFORE JOB
SPEAKS AGAIN, THE LAST THING JOB
00:37:04.45\00:37:10.29
DOES IS HE - THE LAST THING THE
LORD SAYS - HE DEDICATES - GOD'S
00:37:10.29\00:37:14.00
SPEAKING - HE DEDICATES AN
ENTIRE CHAPTER TO THIS STRANGE
00:37:14.00\00:37:19.67
CREATURE CALLED LEVIATHAN: "CAN
YOU DRAW OUT LEVIATHAN WITH A
00:37:19.67\00:37:26.14
HOOK, OR SNARE HIS TONGUE WITH
A LINE" - LIKE YOU'RE FISHING -
00:37:26.14\00:37:30.18
"WHICH YOU LOWER? CAN
YOU PUT A REED THROUGH HIS
00:37:30.18\00:37:32.45
NOSE OR PIERCE HIS JAW WITH A
HOOK? WILL HE MAKE SUPPLICATIONS
00:37:32.45\00:37:36.02
FOR YOU?" - GOD IS DESCRIBING
SOME KIND OF A MONSTER, AND YOU
00:37:36.02\00:37:40.19
READ THROUGH THIS
WHOLE THING ABOUT JOB - IT
00:37:40.19\00:37:43.59
TALKS ABOUT HIS TERRIBLE
TEETH. IT TALKS ABOUT THAT HE'S
00:37:43.59\00:37:45.66
FIRE-BREATHING -
SPARKS FLY OUT OF HIS NOSE.
00:37:45.66\00:37:50.13
AND THEN YOU DO A LITTLE
RESEARCH IN HISTORY AND YOU'LL
00:37:50.13\00:37:53.74
SEE THAT IN MANY ANCIENT
CULTURES, THEY HAD THIS CREATURE
00:37:53.74\00:37:58.81
THAT WAS A SYMBOL OF THE DEVIL
THAT WAS A DRAGON OR, IN SOME
00:37:58.81\00:38:03.88
SEMITIC CULTURES,
CALLED 'LEVIATHAN'.
00:38:03.88\00:38:07.42
THE LORD, HERE, IS SHOWING NOW,
IN THIS LAST SECTION BEFORE JOB
00:38:07.42\00:38:11.79
SPEAKS AND BEFORE GOD TURNS
THINGS AROUND, GOD PULLS ASIDE
00:38:11.79\00:38:15.12
THE VEIL AND HE SAID, 'YOU ARE
NOT SUFFERING BECAUSE OF ME.'
00:38:15.12\00:38:20.60
EVERYONE SAYS, 'WHY
DID GOD DO THIS TO ME?'
00:38:20.60\00:38:22.13
IN THE STORY OF JOB WAS IT
GOD THAT DID IT OR THE DEVIL?
00:38:22.13\00:38:25.00
IT'S THIS
DRAGON. IT'S THE DEVIL.
00:38:25.00\00:38:28.34
AND IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHO
HE IS, LOOK AT THE LAST WORDS IN
00:38:28.34\00:38:33.81
CHAPTER 41, "HE BEHOLDS EVERY
HIGH THING; HE IS KING OVER ALL
00:38:33.81\00:38:41.58
THE CHILDREN OF
PRIDE." AND IT TALKS - IT'S
00:38:41.58\00:38:45.55
TALKING ABOUT THE
DEVIL. IT'S TALKING ABOUT THAT
00:38:45.55\00:38:47.76
SEVEN-HEADED DRAGON AND IT'S
SAYING HOW THAT JOB CAN'T DEFEAT
00:38:47.76\00:38:54.30
THE LEVIATHAN, BUT GOD
CAN. GOD SAYS, 'I AM OVER ALL OF
00:38:54.30\00:38:58.73
CREATION AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE
TO TAKE ON LEVIATHAN, BUT I CAN.
00:38:58.73\00:39:04.77
AND SO IT'S REALLY - THIS IS A
GREAT, GREAT STUDY BECAUSE IT'S
00:39:04.77\00:39:09.88
LIKE JOB'S A MYSTERY BOOK
AND THE ANSWER TO THE MYSTERY IS
00:39:09.88\00:39:13.75
BEING GIVEN NOW
AT THE END - OF WHY.
00:39:13.75\00:39:16.62
YOU AND I START OUT - WE
KNOW WHY JOB'S SUFFERING - FIRST
00:39:16.62\00:39:19.05
CHAPTERS IT TELLS US
THERE'S A BATTLE IN HEAVEN.
00:39:19.05\00:39:21.62
JOB DOESN'T KNOW.
HIS FRIENDS DON'T KNOW.
00:39:21.62\00:39:24.66
BUT YOU GET TO THE END OF
THE BOOK AND GOD PULLS ASIDE THE
00:39:24.66\00:39:26.70
VEIL AND SAYS, 'THIS IS
WHY JOB'S SUFFERING: IT'S THE
00:39:26.70\00:39:29.30
LEVIATHAN.' A FEW YEARS AGO OUR
FAMILY - KAREN IS BACK HELPING
00:39:29.30\00:39:37.81
HER BROTHER RIGHT
NOW, MANAGE TWINS.
00:39:37.81\00:39:42.14
SHE'S HAVING A GOOD TIME.
SHE'S DEALING WITH EMPTY NEST, I
00:39:42.14\00:39:48.78
GUESS, BUT SHE'S
HAVING A GOOD TIME.
00:39:48.78\00:39:51.69
BUT WE WENT WITH THE
BOYS - NATHAN'S HERE TODAY, HE
00:39:51.69\00:39:53.69
REMEMBERS - WE WENT TO BELIZE
AND WE WENT DIVING AND THE
00:39:53.69\00:39:55.99
HIGHLIGHT OF OUR DIVING TRIP
WAS WE WERE GOING TO GO SEE THE
00:39:55.99\00:40:00.20
LARGEST FISH IN THE WORLD
IN ITS NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.
00:40:00.20\00:40:04.63
AND YOU NEVER KNOW IF THEY'RE
GOING TO SHOW UP OR NOT -
00:40:04.63\00:40:06.33
THEY'RE CALLED WHALE SHARKS
- AND YOU DIVE DOWN 80 FEET AND
00:40:06.33\00:40:10.44
YOU WAIT AND THEY ONLY
COME DURING THE FULL MOON.
00:40:10.44\00:40:13.98
AND IT'S PRETTY SPOOKY BECAUSE
YOU'RE OUT IN THE OPEN OCEAN.
00:40:13.98\00:40:17.05
YOU KNOW, NORMALLY, WHEN
YOU'RE SCUBA DIVING AND YOU'RE
00:40:17.05\00:40:19.01
SNORKELING, YOU'RE ON A
REEF - YOU'RE FOLLOWING -
00:40:19.01\00:40:20.95
THERE'S SOME TO
LOOK AT, YOU KNOW?
00:40:20.95\00:40:23.02
BUT WHEN YOU'RE IN THE OPEN
OCEAN AND YOU DROP DOWN IN THE
00:40:23.02\00:40:25.59
ABYSS AND EVERYTHING IS JUST -
IT GOES ON THROUGH ETERNITY AND
00:40:25.59\00:40:29.32
YOU LOOK DOWN AND ITS BLACKNESS
BELOW YOU AND THEN YOU HEAR
00:40:29.32\00:40:32.49
SOMEONE BANGING ON THEIR
TANK AND IN YOUR EARS YOU HEAR
00:40:32.49\00:40:35.26
'CLONK, CLONK, CLONK, CLONK' AND
YOU CAN HEAR SOMEONE - BUBBLES -
00:40:35.26\00:40:37.90
AND THEY'RE SHOUTING AND THEN
YOU LOOK AT YOUR GUIDE AND HE'S
00:40:37.90\00:40:40.34
POINTING DOWN AND UP FROM THE
ABYSS WE SAW WHAT LOOKED LIKE A
00:40:40.34\00:40:44.51
RUSSIAN NUCLEAR SUB COMING
UP AND IT WAS ONE OF THESE WHALE
00:40:44.51\00:40:49.64
SHARKS AND IT IS AWESOME.
AND YOU SEE THEM COME IN CLOSE
00:40:49.64\00:40:53.01
TO YOU - AND WE
SAW SEVERAL THAT DAY.
00:40:53.01\00:40:54.65
SOME PEOPLE GO OUT AND THEY PAY
FOR THE TOUR AND THEY DON'T SEE
00:40:54.65\00:40:57.09
ANY. WE WERE SO
THANKFUL TO SEE THEM.
00:40:57.09\00:40:58.89
BUT YOU GET OUT IN THE WATER
LIKE THAT AND IT'S TERRIFYING.
00:40:58.89\00:41:02.09
YOU FEEL VERY VULNERABLE.
AND THEN I SAW A SHARK COME -
00:41:02.09\00:41:06.63
A REAL SHARK, SHARK - SWIMMING
TOWARDS US AND I WENT AND
00:41:06.63\00:41:09.40
TAPPED ON NATHAN'S - I'M NOT
EXAGGERATING - SIX FEET AWAY WAS
00:41:09.40\00:41:13.37
THIS BIG - I THINK
IT WAS A BULL SHARK.
00:41:13.37\00:41:15.37
I SAID, 'NATHAN, LOOK.' IT'S
PRETTY EXCITING, BUT THERE'S
00:41:15.37\00:41:20.71
THIS SEA MONSTER THAT HE REVEALS
IS THE ONE WHO IS RESPONSIBLE
00:41:20.71\00:41:25.28
FOR ALL THAT. LOOK
AT VERSE 19, "OUT OF HIS
00:41:25.28\00:41:28.52
MOUTH GO BURNING LIGHTS;
SPARKS OF FIRE SHOOT OUT.
00:41:28.52\00:41:32.09
SMOKE GOES OUT OF HIS NOSTRILS,
AS FROM A BOILING POT AND
00:41:32.09\00:41:35.56
BURNING RUSHES." NOW, I
DON'T KNOW, BUT I'LL TELL
00:41:35.56\00:41:42.20
YOU ONE INTERESTING THEORY.
AND DON'T TAKE THIS - THIS IS
00:41:42.20\00:41:44.77
JUST - TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN
OF SALT, BUT IT'S INTERESTING.
00:41:44.77\00:41:47.07
THEY'VE GOT - SOME HAVE WONDERED
- YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT BONES OF
00:41:47.07\00:41:52.57
REPTILES THAT USED TO
FLY. AND - BY - UNDER A
00:41:52.57\00:41:56.98
VARIETY OF NAMES.
THERE WAS ONE REPTILE -
00:41:56.98\00:42:00.95
PTEROSAURUS? - CAN'T REMEMBER
WHICH ONE IT WAS, BUT HE HAD A
00:42:00.95\00:42:03.82
WINGSPAN ABOUT AS
BIG AS A SMALL CESSNA.
00:42:03.82\00:42:06.65
I MEAN, THESE THINGS WERE
MASSIVE AND - AND THEN YOU'VE
00:42:06.65\00:42:11.69
GOT THESE CREATURES IN
GOD'S KINGDOM CALLED 'BOMBARDIER
00:42:11.69\00:42:14.46
BEETLES' AND WHAT THESE
BOMBARDIER BEETLES DO IS THEY'VE
00:42:14.46\00:42:17.47
GOT TWO CHAMBERS AND WHEN
THEY'RE ATTACKED, THEY COMBINE
00:42:17.47\00:42:20.04
CHEMICALS AND IT CREATES THIS
BURNING LIQUID - IT ACTUALLY
00:42:20.04\00:42:24.44
SMOKES - AND
IT'LL BURN SOMETHING.
00:42:24.44\00:42:27.41
AND SOME HAVE THEORIZED THAT
SOME OF THESE EXTINCT FLYING
00:42:27.41\00:42:31.11
REPTILES ACTUALLY HAD THE
ABILITY - THEY HAD CHAMBERS IN
00:42:31.11\00:42:34.98
THEIR HEADS, LIKE BOMBARDIER
BEETLES, TO BLOW CHEMICALS
00:42:34.98\00:42:38.29
TOGETHER AS A DEFENSE AND SO
THEY COME UP WITH FIRE-BREATHING
00:42:38.29\00:42:41.06
DRAGONS. WHETHER THAT'S
TRUE OR NOT, I DON'T KNOW.
00:42:41.06\00:42:43.36
IT'S AN INTERESTING THEORY AND I
KNOW THERE ARE SOME 10-YEAR-OLDS
00:42:43.36\00:42:46.06
OUT THERE RIGHT NOW THAT ARE
GOING, 'OOH, NEAT, PASTOR DOUG.
00:42:46.06\00:42:48.70
THERE REALLY WERE FIRE-BREATHING
DRAGONS.' WELL, I DON'T KNOW
00:42:48.70\00:42:51.23
THAT, BUT I KNOW THE
BIBLE DOES TALK ABOUT IT.
00:42:51.23\00:42:54.10
NOT ONLY HERE, BUT ISAIAH TALKS
ABOUT FLYING FIERY SERPENTS.
00:42:54.10\00:42:59.27
AND SO, YOU KNOW, WHO KNOWS WHAT
WAS GOING ON BACK THEN AND IT
00:42:59.27\00:43:03.04
COULD BE BACK IN THE DAYS OF JOB
- THEY LIVED A LONG TIME AGO -
00:43:03.04\00:43:06.08
SOME MEN LIVED CONTEMPORANEOUSLY
WITH SOME CREATURES THAT ARE NOW
00:43:06.08\00:43:09.78
EXTINCT - BACK THEN, AND IT
COULD HAVE BEEN THAT THEY USED
00:43:09.78\00:43:16.22
THIS AS AN ILLUSTRATION
OF THAT GREAT SERPENT.
00:43:16.22\00:43:20.56
SO, WE KNOW THAT THE DRAGON HAS
COME DOWN WITH GREAT WRATH AND
00:43:20.56\00:43:25.73
HE WANTS TO
DESTROY GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:43:25.73\00:43:27.77
NOW, WHY IS THE STORY OF
JOB SO IMPORTANT TO US TODAY?
00:43:27.77\00:43:32.31
DOES JOB SURVIVE
HIS TRIALS? >>YES.
00:43:32.31\00:43:36.18
>>BUT HE WENT THROUGH A TRIAL
THAT - WOULD ANY OF YOU LIKE TO
00:43:36.18\00:43:39.25
GO THROUGH WHAT
JOB WENT THROUGH?
00:43:39.25\00:43:40.58
>>NO. >>DOES
ANYONE HERE WANT TO GO
00:43:40.58\00:43:42.68
THROUGH WHAT JESUS
WENT THROUGH? >>NO.
00:43:42.68\00:43:44.75
>>YOU DON'T EVEN WANT TO DO THE
FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS OF
00:43:44.75\00:43:46.62
FASTING, LET ALONE WHAT HAPPENED
IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE AND
00:43:46.62\00:43:49.79
ON THE CROSS, RIGHT? BUT
MAYBE IT'S GOOD FOR US TO
00:43:49.79\00:43:53.63
READ THE BOOK OF JOB BECAUSE ARE
GOD'S PEOPLE GOING TO GO THROUGH
00:43:53.63\00:43:56.73
A TIME OF TROUBLE SUCH
AS THERE NEVER HAS BEEN?
00:43:56.73\00:44:00.17
HAVE YOU READ
MATTHEW 24? >>AMEN.
00:44:00.17\00:44:03.00
>>HAVE YOU READ DANIEL CHAPTER
12, WHEN IT SAYS, 'MICHAEL
00:44:03.00\00:44:05.74
STANDS UP AND THERE'S A TIME OF
TROUBLE SUCH AS THERE NEVER HAS
00:44:05.74\00:44:08.88
BEEN, EVEN TO THAT
TIME, NOR WILL THERE EVER BE"?
00:44:08.88\00:44:12.91
AND THE BIBLE SPEAKS
ABOUT A GREAT TIME OF TROUBLE.
00:44:12.91\00:44:15.72
THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT
THE TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE.
00:44:15.72\00:44:18.82
YOU READ IN JEREMIAH CHAPTER 30
AND WE'RE TOLD IN THE SPIRIT OF
00:44:18.82\00:44:22.02
PROPHECY THAT GOD'S PEOPLE WILL
EXPERIENCE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO
00:44:22.02\00:44:25.49
THIS. JEREMIAH
CHAPTER 30, VERSE 7, "ALAS!
00:44:25.49\00:44:29.23
FOR THAT DAY IS GREAT, SO THAT
NONE IS LIKE IT; AND IT IS THE
00:44:29.23\00:44:32.73
TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE, BUT
HE SHALL BE SAVED OUT OF IT."
00:44:32.73\00:44:35.54
JACOB WAS WRESTLING WITH
GOD. JOB WAS WRESTLING THROUGH
00:44:35.54\00:44:40.44
HIS SUFFERINGS WITH GOD.
'WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?'
00:44:40.44\00:44:43.14
WE'LL BE WONDERING, 'HAVE
WE GRIEVED THE HOLY SPIRIT?
00:44:43.14\00:44:46.38
IS THERE HOPE FOR US?'
OUR FAITH IS GOING TO BE
00:44:46.38\00:44:48.32
CHALLENGED TO THE NTH DEGREE.
NOT ONLY THAT, JOB EXPERIENCED
00:44:48.32\00:44:53.89
TOTAL ABANDONMENT
FROM HEAVEN AND EARTH.
00:44:53.89\00:44:57.49
HE LOST ALL HIS THINGS, HE LOST
ALL HIS FRIENDS, HE LOST ALL HIS
00:44:57.49\00:45:00.23
FAMILY, AND HE
FELT CUT OFF FROM GOD.
00:45:00.23\00:45:03.53
AS YOU AND I FACE THE LAST DAYS,
YOU CAN READ IN DESIRE OF AGES
00:45:03.53\00:45:06.63
PAGE 121 AND 122, "IN THE
LAST GREAT CONFLICT IN THE GREAT
00:45:06.63\00:45:11.71
CONTROVERSY WITH SATAN, THOSE
WHO ARE LOYAL TO GOD WILL SEE
00:45:11.71\00:45:16.48
EVERY EARTHLY SUPPORT CUT
OFF BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO BREAK
00:45:16.48\00:45:20.78
GOD'S LAW IN OBEDIENCE TO
EARTHLY POWERS, THEY WILL BE
00:45:20.78\00:45:24.02
FORBIDDEN TO BUY OR SELL.
THERE'LL BE A TIME WHEN WE'RE
00:45:24.02\00:45:27.12
GOING TO EXPERIENCE A REAL
TRIAL. JOB SURVIVED BY FAITH.
00:45:27.12\00:45:32.39
JESUS HAS WARNED US - JOHN 16:33
- "IN THE WORLD YOU WILL HAVE
00:45:32.39\00:45:36.50
TRIBULATION; BUT BE OF
GOOD CHEER, I HAVE OVERCOME THE
00:45:36.50\00:45:39.53
WORLD." DON'T LOSE FAITH.
PAUL SAID - ACTS 14:22, "WE MUST
00:45:39.53\00:45:45.31
THROUGH MANY TRIBULATIONS
ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD."
00:45:45.31\00:45:49.11
WE MUST GO THROUGH TRIBULATION.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
00:45:49.11\00:45:53.45
A LOT OF CHRISTIANS OUT THERE
IN THE EVANGELICAL WORLD ARE
00:45:53.45\00:45:57.99
BELIEVING IN SOMETHING CALLED
THE SECRET RAPTURE - THAT BEFORE
00:45:57.99\00:46:00.89
THE GREAT TRIBULATIONS IN THE
LAST DAYS - THE CHURCH IS JUST
00:46:00.89\00:46:03.83
GOING TO GET CAUGHT UP AND
WE WON'T HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THE
00:46:03.83\00:46:07.60
SEVEN LAST
PLAGUES OR ANY TRIALS.
00:46:07.60\00:46:09.80
WE DO BELIEVE THERE'S A GREAT
TRIBULATION, BUT WE'RE OF THE
00:46:09.80\00:46:13.60
GROUP THAT BELIEVES THAT WE'RE
CAUGHT UP AFTER THE TRIALS AND
00:46:13.60\00:46:18.94
TRIBULATION. BY THE
WAY, WHAT WE BELIEVE IS
00:46:18.94\00:46:21.81
WHAT THE CHURCH
BELIEVED FOR 1900 YEARS.
00:46:21.81\00:46:24.95
THE IDEA OF THE SECRET
RAPTURE IS A NEW TEACHING.
00:46:24.95\00:46:27.85
YOU DON'T FIND ANY OF THE
REFORMERS TALKING ABOUT THAT.
00:46:27.85\00:46:30.72
I CHALLENGE YOU TO FIND MARTIN
LUTHER OR WESLEY OR WHITFIELD OR
00:46:30.72\00:46:36.32
ANY OF THOSE GUYS TALKING ABOUT
THE CHURCH BEING SAVED FROM
00:46:36.32\00:46:38.49
TRIBULATION. PAUL
SAID, 'IT IS THROUGH
00:46:38.49\00:46:40.66
TRIBULATION WE
ARE SAVED.' >>AMEN.
00:46:40.66\00:46:43.83
>>AND SO, STUDYING THE TRIALS
THAT JOB GOES THROUGH AND WHAT
00:46:43.83\00:46:47.97
JESUS WENT THROUGH, JESUS SAID,
'IF THEY'VE DONE THIS TO ME,
00:46:47.97\00:46:50.97
YOUR LORD AND MASTER, DO YOU
THINK YOU'RE GOING TO BE SPARED
00:46:50.97\00:46:52.94
FROM ANY TRIALS
OR ANY SUFFERING?
00:46:52.94\00:46:56.34
THERE'S TROUBLE IN LIFE. NOW,
I'M ENCOURAGED THOUGH, BECAUSE,
00:46:56.34\00:47:01.02
IN THE END, JOB
TRIUMPHED. >>AMEN.
00:47:01.02\00:47:06.86
>>YOU READ IN CHAPTER 13,
VERSE 15 - JOB, HIS FAITH SHOWN
00:47:06.86\00:47:10.76
THROUGH - AND HE SAYS, "THOUGH
HE SLAY ME YET WILL I TRUST
00:47:10.76\00:47:14.00
HIM." AND AS JESUS HUNG UPON THE
CROSS, EVEN AFTER HE HAD CRIED,
00:47:14.00\00:47:19.13
'WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?', HIS
FINAL CRY WAS 'FATHER, INTO YOUR
00:47:19.13\00:47:23.47
HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT.' HE
SAID, 'IT IS FINISHED.' 'NOT MY
00:47:23.47\00:47:28.34
WILL, THY WILL BE DONE.' IT
WAS A CRY OF TRUST AND TRIUMPH.
00:47:28.34\00:47:32.71
AND YOU AND I MIGHT BE
TRIED, BUT WE CAN ALSO TRIUMPH.
00:47:32.71\00:47:36.35
AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:47:36.35\00:47:37.62
>>NOW HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS - AND
THIS IS MY LAST POINT - ALMOST.
00:47:37.62\00:47:43.16
IN THE END, JOB IS GREATLY
BLESSED. HE IS GREATLY HONORED.
00:47:43.16\00:47:50.50
THE LATTER END OF JOB IS
BLESSED MORE THAN THE BEGINNING.
00:47:50.50\00:47:56.50
CHRIST IS GOING TO BE HIGHLY
EXALTED. HE WHO WENT THE LOWEST
00:47:56.50\00:48:00.91
TO SAVE US IS GOING TO
BE EXALTED THE HIGHEST.
00:48:00.91\00:48:03.68
AND THE DEVIL, WHO WANTED THE
HIGHEST, IS GOING TO BE PUT IN
00:48:03.68\00:48:06.18
THE PIT AND HE'S
GOING TO GO TO THE LOWEST.
00:48:06.18\00:48:08.98
THE STORY OF JOB IS THE
STORY OF ULTIMATE VICTORY.
00:48:08.98\00:48:12.15
YOU KNOW, IT'S GOT ALL
THE ELEMENTS OF A GREAT STORY
00:48:12.15\00:48:14.42
BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT CONFLICT,
YOU'VE GOT A GREAT CHARACTER
00:48:14.42\00:48:16.09
MISUNDERSTOOD AND HE LYING -
AND IN THE END HE'S THE HERO.
00:48:16.09\00:48:19.46
>>AMEN. >>GOD
TELLS HIS FRIENDS, 'YOU
00:48:19.46\00:48:21.23
WANT TO LIVE, YOU NEED TO HAVE
JOB PRAY FOR YOU - THE ONE YOU
00:48:21.23\00:48:23.53
THOUGHT WAS SO WICKED -
HE'S GOT TO PRAY FOR YOU.'
00:48:23.53\00:48:25.57
>>AMEN. >>AND
THEY ALL GAVE HIM SOME
00:48:25.57\00:48:28.50
TRIBUTE AND JOB ENDS UP
HAVING TWICE AS MUCH IN THE END.
00:48:28.50\00:48:33.07
YOU SAY, 'WELL,
WHAT ABOUT HIS FAMILY?'
00:48:33.07\00:48:34.51
HE ENDS UP WITH TWICE AS MANY
TOO BECAUSE HE HAS ANOTHER SEVEN
00:48:34.51\00:48:36.98
SONS - THREE DAUGHTERS -
AND THE FIRST ONES WE TRUST HE
00:48:36.98\00:48:40.25
INTERCEDED FOR THEM - THEY'LL
BE SAVED - SO HE'LL HAVE 20 IN
00:48:40.25\00:48:43.79
HEAVEN. SO
EVERYTHING'S BLESSED, RIGHT?
00:48:43.79\00:48:47.86
HE GETS TWICE AS
MUCH. HIS FAITH TRIUMPHS.
00:48:47.86\00:48:51.89
JOB 19:26 - HE SAYS, "AFTER MY
SKIN IS DESTROYED, THIS I KNOW,
00:48:51.89\00:48:57.20
THAT IN MY FLESH I SHALL
SEE GOD, WHOM I SHALL SEE FOR
00:48:57.20\00:49:00.30
MYSELF, AND MY EYES
SHALL BEHOLD, AND NOT ANOTHER.
00:49:00.30\00:49:03.07
HOW MY HEART YEARNS WITHIN ME!"
00:49:03.07\00:49:05.64
NEW TESTAMENT - JAMES SAYS,
'BEHOLD, WE COUNT THEM HAPPY
00:49:05.64\00:49:09.54
THAT ENDURE.' YOU
HAVE TO ENDURE WHAT?
00:49:09.54\00:49:11.91
'ENDURE TO THE END' JESUS SAID
- ENDURE SUFFERING - 'YOU HAVE
00:49:11.91\00:49:14.92
HEARD OF THE PATIENCE OF JOB AND
YOU HAVE SEEN THAT THE END OF
00:49:14.92\00:49:18.99
THE LORD - THAT THE LORD IS
PITIFUL AND OF TENDER MERCY.'
00:49:18.99\00:49:22.29
THE STORY ENDS WELL.
GOD IS GOOD IN THE END.
00:49:22.29\00:49:26.53
NOW FRIENDS, WHAT YOU'VE SEEN US
LOOK AT TODAY WITH JOB IS TRUE
00:49:26.53\00:49:30.87
IN MANY WAYS, IN THE
BIBLE. THE BIBLE IS AN AMAZING
00:49:30.87\00:49:34.14
MIRACULOUS SUPERNATURAL
MESSAGE FROM GOD TO EARTH.
00:49:34.14\00:49:37.94
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT STORIES
CHRIST SAID, 'IN THE VOLUME OF
00:49:37.94\00:49:42.34
THE BOOK IT'S WRITTEN OF ME, HE
SAID, 'O FOOLS AND SLOW OF HEART
00:49:42.34\00:49:46.55
TO BELIEVE, ALL THE PROPHETS
HAVE SPOKEN, BEGINNING AT MOSES
00:49:46.55\00:49:51.02
AND ALL THE PROPHETS, HE
EXPOUNDED UNTO THEM IN ALL THE
00:49:51.02\00:49:54.26
SCRIPTURES THE
THINGS CONCERNING HIMSELF.'
00:49:54.26\00:49:56.99
ALL THE SCRIPTURES TALK
ABOUT JESUS. THE STORY OF JOB -
00:49:56.99\00:50:00.36
CAN YOU SEE IT TODAY?
WHAT WE'VE BEEN STUDYING NOW
00:50:00.36\00:50:02.70
FOR FIVE WEEKS,
IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS.
00:50:02.70\00:50:05.20
WHAT JOB WENT THROUGH IS TELLING
US HOW MUCH JESUS LOVES US IN
00:50:05.20\00:50:08.94
THE SUFFERINGS THAT JESUS
WENT THROUGH AT THE HANDS OF THE
00:50:08.94\00:50:11.27
DEVIL. JOB WAS A TYPE OF THAT.
00:50:11.27\00:50:14.04
YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO READ
- THIS IS A PASSAGE - IT'S A -
00:50:14.04\00:50:18.45
ACTUALLY AN EXCERPT FROM A
DEVOTIONAL WRITTEN BY SPURGEON.
00:50:18.45\00:50:22.78
I SHARE THIS WITH ALL OUR AFCOE
CLASSES BECAUSE THIS, I THINK,
00:50:22.78\00:50:27.12
IS JUST OUTSTANDING AND IT
ALWAYS GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS WHEN
00:50:27.12\00:50:33.93
I READ IT.  IT'S
CALLED THESE ARE THEY WHICH
00:50:33.93\00:50:36.60
TESTIFY OF ME AND HE'S
QUOTING JOHN 5:39, "SEARCH THE
00:50:36.60\00:50:40.57
SCRIPTURES FOR IN THEM YE
THINK YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
00:50:40.57\00:50:43.10
THESE ARE THEY
WHICH TESTIFY OF ME."
00:50:43.10\00:50:45.27
IT DOESN'T START WITH THE NEW
TESTAMENT - THE WHOLE BIBLE'S
00:50:45.27\00:50:47.68
ABOUT JESUS. YOU
CAN SEE HIM EVERYWHERE.
00:50:47.68\00:50:50.65
JESUS CHRIST IS THE
ALPHA AND OMEGA OF THE BIBLE.
00:50:50.65\00:50:53.98
HE IS THE CONSTANT
THEME OF IT'S SACRED PAGES.
00:50:53.98\00:50:57.39
FROM THE FIRST TO THE
LAST THEY TESTIFY OF HIM.
00:50:57.39\00:51:00.52
AT THE CREATION, WE AT
ONCE DISCERN HIM AS THE SACRED
00:51:00.52\00:51:03.66
TRINITY. WE CATCH A
GLIMPSE OF HIM IN THE
00:51:03.66\00:51:06.43
PROMISE OF THE WOMAN'S
SEED. WE SEE HIM TYPIFIED
00:51:06.43\00:51:09.46
IN THE ARK OF NOAH.
WE WALK WITH ABRAHAM AS
00:51:09.46\00:51:12.37
HE SEES MESSIAH'S DAY. WE
DWELL IN THE TENTS OF ISAAC
00:51:12.37\00:51:15.70
AND JACOB, FEEDING
UPON THE GRACIOUS PROMISE.
00:51:15.70\00:51:18.64
WE HEAR VENERABLE ISRAEL TALKING
OF SHILOH AND IN INNUMEROUS
00:51:18.64\00:51:23.55
TYPES OF THE LAW, WE
FIND THE REDEEMER ABUNDANTLY
00:51:23.55\00:51:26.35
FORESHADOWED.
PROPHETS AND KINGS, PRIESTS AND
00:51:26.35\00:51:29.35
PREACHERS, ALL LOOK ONE WAY.
THEY ALL STAND AS THE CHERUBS
00:51:29.35\00:51:33.36
DID, OVER THE ARK, DESIRING
TO LOOK WITHIN AND TO READ THE
00:51:33.36\00:51:36.29
MYSTERY OF GOD'S PROPITIATION.
STILL, MORE MANIFESTLY IN THE
00:51:36.29\00:51:40.76
NEW TESTAMENT, WE FIND OUR
LORD THE ONE PERVADING SUBJECT.
00:51:40.76\00:51:44.33
IT'S NOT AN INGOT OF GOLD HERE
OR THERE, OR DUST OF GOLD THINLY
00:51:44.33\00:51:48.90
SCATTERED, BUT HERE YOU STAND
UPON A SOLID FLOOR OF GOLD, FOR
00:51:48.90\00:51:53.24
THE WHOLE SUBSTANCE OF THE NEW
TESTAMENT IS JESUS CRUCIFIED.
00:51:53.24\00:51:57.41
EVEN ITS CLOSING SENTENCE IS
BEJEWELED WITH THE REDEEMER'S
00:51:57.41\00:52:01.95
NAME" - WHERE IT SAYS, 'EVEN
SO, COME LORD JESUS - "WE SHOULD
00:52:01.95\00:52:05.75
ALWAYS READ
SCRIPTURE IN THIS LIGHT.
00:52:05.75\00:52:08.99
WE SHOULD CONSIDER THE WORD
TO BE A MIRROR INTO WHICH CHRIST
00:52:08.99\00:52:12.39
LOOKS DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND THEN
WE, LOOKING INTO IT, SEE HIS
00:52:12.39\00:52:15.76
FACE REFLECTED. AS IN
A GLASS, DARKLY, IT IS
00:52:15.76\00:52:18.53
TRUE, BUT STILL, IN SUCH A WAY
AS TO BE A BLESSED PREPARATION
00:52:18.53\00:52:22.10
FOR SEEING HIM AS WE WILL SEE
HIM FACE TO FACE. THIS VOLUME,
00:52:22.10\00:52:26.37
THE BIBLE, CONTAINS JESUS
CHRIST'S LETTERS TO US, PERFUMED
00:52:26.37\00:52:30.28
BY HIS LOVE. THESE PAGES
ARE THE GARMENTS OF OUR KING.
00:52:30.28\00:52:33.75
THEY ALL SMELL OF
MYRRH AND ALOES AND CASSIA.
00:52:33.75\00:52:36.72
SCRIPTURE IS THE ROYAL
CHARIOT IN WHICH JESUS RIDES.
00:52:36.72\00:52:40.69
IT IS PAVED WITH LOVE FOR
THE DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM.
00:52:40.69\00:52:43.73
THE SCRIPTURES ARE THE SWADDLING
BANDS OF THE HOLY CHILD JESUS.
00:52:43.73\00:52:47.76
UNROLL THEM AND
YOU FIND YOUR SAVIOR.
00:52:47.76\00:52:50.63
THE QUINTESSENCE OF
THE WORD OF GOD IS CHRIST.

00:52:54.30\00:52:56.07

THIS IS ALL ABOUT JESUS, AMEN.
00:52:56.07\00:53:01.18
AND YOU SEE JESUS IN
THE STORY OF JOB, FRIENDS?
00:53:01.18\00:53:04.11
>>AMEN. >>IT TELLS US ABOUT
00:53:04.11\00:53:05.85
HIS SUFFERINGS. IT SHOULD BE
TELLING YOU ABOUT GOD'S LOVE FOR

YOU IN THAT JESUS SUFFERED LIKE
THAT. AND IT SHOULD TELL US THAT
00:53:08.62\00:53:12.82
EVEN THOUGH WE SUFFER IT DOESN'T
MEAN WE'RE FORSAKEN AND JOB WAS
00:53:12.82\00:53:16.16
WONDERING, BUT
HE WAS NOT FORSAKEN.

00:54:02.10\00:54:04.71
ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS
ATTRACTIONS IN THE SAN FRANCISCO
00:54:04.71\00:54:07.34
BAY AREA IS THE
ICONIC GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE.
00:54:07.34\00:54:11.31
WHILE THIS WORLD-FAMOUS BRIDGE
WAS NAMED AS ONE OF THE SEVEN
00:54:11.31\00:54:14.08
WONDERS OF THE MODERN WORLD,
FEW PEOPLE KNOW THE STORY OF THE
00:54:14.08\00:54:17.12
BRAVE MEN WHO WERE INVOLVED
IN ITS CONSTRUCTION AND - ALSO
00:54:17.12\00:54:20.22
KNOWN AS THE
HALFWAY TO HELL CLUB .
00:54:20.22\00:54:23.12
DESIGNED BY A GROUP OF VISIONARY
ENGINEERS AT 4200 FEET END TO
00:54:23.12\00:54:27.73
END, THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
WAS, AT ONE TIME, THE LONGEST
00:54:27.73\00:54:31.17
SUSPENSION BRIDGE IN THE WORLD.
DURING ITS CONSTRUCTION, FROM
00:54:31.17\00:54:34.94
1933 TO 1937, THE GOLDEN
GATE BRIDGE HAD ONE OF THE BEST
00:54:34.94\00:54:39.44
SAFETY CONSTRUCTION RECORDS
OF ANY PROJECT DURING THAT TIME.
00:54:39.44\00:54:42.98
KEEP IN MIND, THEY WOULD FACTOR
IN AND CALCULATE THAT ONE MAN
00:54:42.98\00:54:46.35
WOULD DIE FOR EVERY MILLION
DOLLARS THAT WAS SPENT, SO WITH
00:54:46.35\00:54:49.62
A BUDGET OF 35 MILLION DOLLARS,
THEY KNEW THAT LOSS OF LIFE
00:54:49.62\00:54:53.05
WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS
WHY THE CHIEF ENGINEER, JOSEPH
00:54:53.05\00:54:56.59
P. STRAUSS, WAS ABSOLUTELY
ADAMANT ABOUT USING THE MOST
00:54:56.59\00:54:59.89
RIGOROUS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS THAT
HAD EVER BEEN USED IN BRIDGE
00:54:59.89\00:55:03.13
BUILDING. HE HAD A
LOCAL MANUFACTURER OF
00:55:03.13\00:55:05.87
SAFETY EQUIPMENT DESIGN SPECIAL
HEADGEAR THAT HE INSISTED
00:55:05.87\00:55:08.94
BE WORN ON EVERY JOB.
THIS BECAME THE PROTOTYPE FOR
00:55:08.94\00:55:11.91
THE MODERN HARD HAT,
WORN FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.
00:55:11.91\00:55:14.94
BUT THE SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS WENT EVEN FARTHER.
00:55:14.94\00:55:17.95
STRAUSS PROVIDED A SPECIAL HAND
AND FACE CREAM TO PROTECT THEIR
00:55:17.95\00:55:20.95
SKIN FROM THE COLD, BITING
WIND, AND GLARE-FREE GOGGLES TO
00:55:20.95\00:55:24.55
PROTECT THEIR EYES.
00:55:24.55\00:55:26.05
IN ADDITION, THEY ALSO ATE A
SPECIAL DIET TO HELP WARD OFF
00:55:26.05\00:55:29.32
DIZZINESS WHEN THEY WERE
WORKING AT THOSE EPIC HEIGHTS.
00:55:29.32\00:55:32.33
BUT THE MOST CONSPICUOUS SAFETY
PRECAUTION WAS A GIGANTIC NET
00:55:32.33\00:55:36.40
THAT WAS SUSPENDED FROM
END TO END UNDER THE ENTIRE
00:55:36.40\00:55:39.27
CONSTRUCTION AREA OF
THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE.
00:55:39.27\00:55:42.40
IN FACT, DURING CONSTRUCTION,
THIS NET SAVED THE LIVES OF 19
00:55:42.40\00:55:47.01
MEN, WHO LATER BECAME KNOWN
AS THE HALFWAY TO HELL CLUB .
00:55:47.01\00:55:51.61
NOW, YOU NEED TO KEEP IN MIND,
THESE WERE SOME OF THE MOST
00:55:51.61\00:55:53.92
DANGEROUS CONSTRUCTION
CONDITIONS YOU CAN IMAGINE.
00:55:53.92\00:55:56.89
THE WIND WAS CONSTANTLY BLOWING.
THEY WERE WALKING AROUND ON IRON
00:55:56.89\00:56:01.39
THAT SOMETIMES HAD
ICE FROM THE FREEZING FOG.
00:56:01.39\00:56:04.69
IN PLACES, THEY WERE OVER
700 FEET ABOVE THE ICY WATERS.
00:56:04.69\00:56:09.53
YET THE MEN, COMING FROM ALL
WALKS OF LIFE, WERE WILLING TO
00:56:09.53\00:56:12.23
TAKE THESE RISKS BECAUSE IT WAS
DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION AND
00:56:12.23\00:56:15.70
THEY WOULD GET PAID UP TO ELEVEN
DOLLARS A DAY, WHICH WAS A
00:56:15.70\00:56:18.64
FORTUNE BACK THEN. ONE
OF THE OTHER BENEFITS OF THE
00:56:18.64\00:56:22.48
NET WAS THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE
MEN WERE MUCH MORE COURAGEOUS -
00:56:22.48\00:56:26.15
EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE WALKING
HIGH ON THOSE SLIPPERY SURFACES,
00:56:26.15\00:56:29.28
BECAUSE THEY KNEW THERE
WAS A MECHANISM TO PROTECT
00:56:29.28\00:56:31.69
THEM IF THEY SHOULD FALL.
THIS GAVE THEM THE CONFIDENCE
00:56:31.69\00:56:34.42
AND THE COURAGE TO PRESS ON AND
GET THE BRIDGE BUILT IN RECORD
00:56:34.42\00:56:37.43
TIME. YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, AS
CHRISTIANS, WE HAVE A GREAT WORK
00:56:37.43\00:56:40.63
TO DO. THE BIBLE
TELLS US THAT WE GET
00:56:40.63\00:56:42.83
TO PARTICIPATE WITH JESUS IN
BUILDING A BRIDGE THAT CONNECTS
00:56:42.83\00:56:46.30
HEAVEN AND EARTH AND
THERE ARE DANGERS ALONG THE WAY.
00:56:46.30\00:56:50.01
THE DEVIL WOULD LIKE TO PARALYZE
US WITH FEAR THAT WE MIGHT FALL
00:56:50.01\00:56:53.64
OR MAKE A MISTAKE, BUT WE KNOW
THAT JESUS HAS PROVIDED A SAFETY
00:56:53.64\00:56:56.85
NET FOR US AND WE
DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID.
00:56:56.85\00:56:59.38
WE CAN PRESS ON WITH CONFIDENCE
BECAUSE IT PROMISES, IN THE BOOK
00:56:59.38\00:57:02.45
OF JUDE, VERSE 24, 'HE IS
ABLE TO KEEP US FROM FALLING.'
00:57:02.45\00:57:06.22
BUT SOMETIMES WE MAKE MISTAKES.
00:57:06.22\00:57:08.62
STILL, DON'T BE DISCOURAGED,
FRIENDS, IF YOU READ IN 1 JOHN
00:57:08.62\00:57:11.36
CHAPTER 2, VERSE 1, THE BIBLE
SAYS, 'IF WE FALL...IF WE SIN WE
00:57:11.36\00:57:15.80
HAVE AN ADVOCATE WITH THE
FATHER, JESUS CHRIST.' SO LET'S
00:57:15.80\00:57:19.10
PRESS ON TOGETHER AND
BUILD THAT BRIDGE WITH CHRIST.
00:57:19.10\00:57:31.05
>>DID YOU KNOW THAT NOAH WAS
PRESENT AT THE BIRTH OF ABRAHAM?
00:57:31.05\00:57:34.52
OKAY, MAYBE HE WASN'T IN
THE ROOM, BUT HE WAS ALIVE AND
00:57:34.52\00:57:38.49
