AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE
TO INVITE YOU TO PRAY WITH ME
00:06:27.28\00:06:30.35
BEFORE WE HAVE OUR LESSON STUDY.
FATHER IN HEAVEN, THANK YOU SO
00:06:30.35\00:06:34.42
MUCH FOR BRINGING US HERE TODAY.
WE KNOW THAT THERE'S PROBABLY
00:06:34.42\00:06:40.86
MORE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WHO
ARE JOINING WITH US RIGHT NOW
00:06:40.86\00:06:45.20
THAN THERE ARE RIGHT
HERE IN OUR SANCTUARY.
00:06:45.20\00:06:47.94
WE THANK YOU FOR EACH
AND EVERY ONE OF THEM.
00:06:47.94\00:06:50.47
WE THANK YOU FOR EACH HERE.
WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL BE WITH
00:06:50.47\00:06:53.58
THOSE WHO CAN'T BE HERE THAT
- WHETHER IT'S SICKNESS OR OTHER
00:06:53.58\00:06:59.05
CIRCUMSTANCES - I JUST PRAY THAT
YOU WILL PUT YOUR HAND OVER THEM
00:06:59.05\00:07:03.45
- THAT EACH ONE WOULD
FEEL YOUR PRESENCE TODAY.
00:07:03.45\00:07:07.02

THIS TIME, OUR LESSON STUDY
00:07:19.07\00:07:23.64

DOUG BATCHELOR, WHO IS OUR
00:07:23.64\00:07:26.57
SENIOR PASTOR HERE AT
THE GRANITE BAY SEVENTH-DAY
00:07:26.57\00:07:28.51
ADVENTIST CHURCH. >>AMEN.
00:07:28.51\00:07:31.55
THANK YOU, DEBBIE. GOOD
MORNING, FRIENDS WHO ARE
00:07:31.55\00:07:36.58
WATCHING - WE KNOW WE HAVE A LOT
OF FOLKS WATCHING VIA SATELLITE
00:07:36.58\00:07:39.89
OR ON THE INTERNET - OUR
EXTENDED CLASS, AS WELL AS
00:07:39.89\00:07:42.86
SOME OF THE OTHER
GRANITE BAY MEMBERS.
00:07:42.86\00:07:44.79
WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE MEMBERS
OF THIS CHURCH ONLINE FROM
00:07:44.79\00:07:47.50
AROUND THE WORLD, BECAUSE
THERE'S NO LOCAL CHURCH THEY CAN
00:07:47.50\00:07:49.80
WORSHIP WITH.
MATTER OF FACT, MY WIFE,
00:07:49.80\00:07:51.67
MS. BATCHELOR, I
ALWAYS LIKE CALLING HER
00:07:51.67\00:07:53.70
'MRS. BATCHELOR' BECAUSE IT'S AN
OXYMORON - SHE HELPS MANAGE SOME
00:07:53.70\00:07:58.47
OF THE ONLINE MEMBERS AND
SHE TELLS ME THE LITTLE STORIES
00:07:58.47\00:08:00.84
ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE SO THANKFUL
THAT THEY CAN STUDY WITH US AND
00:08:00.84\00:08:04.15
BE PART OF A CHURCH BECAUSE
THEY'RE IN THE OUTBACK OF
00:08:04.15\00:08:07.48
AUSTRALIA OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
00:08:07.48\00:08:09.48
AND MAYBE YOU'RE IN THAT
SITUATION - YOU WATCH ONLINE -
00:08:09.48\00:08:12.35
THERE'S NO LOCAL
CHURCH YOU CAN CONNECT TO.
00:08:12.35\00:08:14.26
IF YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW
MORE ABOUT THAT, JUST GO TO THE
00:08:14.26\00:08:17.03
GRANITEBAYSDA.ORG WEBSITE AND
YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT THAT THERE.
00:08:17.03\00:08:21.00
WE'RE CONTINUING IN OUR SABBATH
SCHOOL STUDY ON THE BOOK OF JOB
00:08:21.00\00:08:25.27
AND, TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO BE
DEALING MORE SPECIFICALLY WITH
00:08:25.27\00:08:28.54
LESSON #8, AND IT'S CALLED
INNOCENT BLOOD - LESSON #8 -
00:08:28.54\00:08:33.94
INNOCENT BLOOD . WE
HAVE A MEMORY VERSE - SHORT
00:08:33.94\00:08:35.81
ONE - HEBREWS 11:1, IF YOU
WANT TO SAY IT WITH ME - HEBREWS
00:08:35.81\00:08:39.78
11, VERSE 1 - ARE YOU READY?
IT SAYS, "NOW FAITH IS THE
00:08:39.78\00:08:45.72
SUBSTANCE OF THINGS
HOPED FOR, THE EVIDENCE OF
00:08:45.72\00:08:49.16
THINGS NOT SEEN."
THAT MEMORY VERSE IS CHOSEN
00:08:49.16\00:08:53.40
BECAUSE, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE
GOING THROUGH A HARD TIME, YOU
00:08:53.40\00:08:57.43
DON'T KNOW WHY; YOU
JUST HAVE TO TRUST GOD.
00:08:57.43\00:09:02.57
AND JOB'S FAITH WAS
TESTED TO THE LIMIT.
00:09:02.57\00:09:06.64
NOW, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT
WHEN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A HARD
00:09:06.64\00:09:10.55
TIME, OR YOU'RE GOING THROUGH
SOME TRIAL, OR THINGS ARE
00:09:10.55\00:09:12.71
HAPPENING AND YOU DON'T
UNDERSTAND THE CAUSE AND THE
00:09:12.71\00:09:16.18
EFFECT, OR IS IT
SOMETHING YOU DID?
00:09:16.18\00:09:19.09
IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE
NEVER GOING TO ASK QUESTIONS.
00:09:19.09\00:09:22.32
SOMETIMES FAITH ASKS QUESTIONS
BUT IT MEANS, IN THE END, AFTER
00:09:22.32\00:09:26.76
YOU'VE DONE ALL THE HUMAN
PROCESSING YOU CAN DO, YOU SAY,
00:09:26.76\00:09:30.03
'THOUGH HE SLAY ME,
YET WILL I TRUST HIM.'
00:09:30.03\00:09:33.84
AND JOB DID A LOT
OF QUESTION ASKING.
00:09:33.84\00:09:36.07
WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT
SOME OF THAT AND TALKING ABOUT
00:09:36.07\00:09:37.74
SOME OF THOSE
QUESTIONS IN OUR STUDY TODAY.
00:09:37.74\00:09:41.01
AND SO, YOU KNOW, TO BEGIN WITH,
WHY DON'T YOU TURN WITH ME TO
00:09:41.01\00:09:45.31
THE BOOK OF JOB CHAPTER 10 - JOB
10 - WE'RE GOING TO READ MOST OF
00:09:45.31\00:09:49.52
THIS CHAPTER - MATTER OF FACT,
OUR MAIN ASSIGNMENT FOR TODAY,
00:09:49.52\00:09:53.15
FROM THE QUARTERLY, IS TO LISTEN
TO WHAT JOB IS SAYING IN CHAPTER
00:09:53.15\00:09:56.83
10 AND WE'LL BE
EVALUATING SOME OF THAT.
00:09:56.83\00:10:02.70
I'LL START WITH VERSE 1,
"MY SOUL LOATHES MY LIFE;" - OF
00:10:02.70\00:10:08.84
COURSE, HE'S GOING THROUGH ALL
THIS SUFFERING - HE'S LOST HIS
00:10:08.84\00:10:11.67
POSSESSIONS, HE'S LOST
HIS FAMILY - NOW HE'S IN GREAT
00:10:11.67\00:10:14.18
PHYSICAL SUFFERING AND HIS
FRIENDS HAVE TURNED ON HIM.
00:10:14.18\00:10:16.98
I MEAN, AFTER ALL, WHAT
IS THERE LEFT TO LIVE FOR?
00:10:16.98\00:10:19.95
IT SAYS, "MY SOUL LOATHES MY
LIFE; I WILL GIVE FREE COURSE TO
00:10:19.95\00:10:24.99
MY COMPLAINT," - HE SAID, 'I'M
GOING TO OPEN UP AND COMPLAIN.'
00:10:24.99\00:10:27.82
- "I WILL SPEAK IN THE
BITTERNESS OF MY SOUL." -
00:10:27.82\00:10:30.29
NOW WAS JOB SINNING WHEN HE DID
THAT? HAVE YOU EVER GONE ON A
00:10:30.29\00:10:33.83
RANT WITH GOD?
IS THAT ALWAYS BAD?
00:10:33.83\00:10:41.90
I REMEMBER WHEN OUR SON DIED -
IT DIDN'T HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY, BUT
00:10:41.90\00:10:47.51
AS I WAS PROCESSING ALL OF THAT,
KAREN AND I WERE DRIVING ACROSS
00:10:47.51\00:10:51.85
COUNTRY AND I JUST - I JUST
STARTED TO POUR FORTH EVERYTHING
00:10:51.85\00:10:59.72
I WAS THINKING - KIND
OF THE 'WHY? WHY? WHY?'
00:10:59.72\00:11:02.32
AND KIND OF A COMBINATION OF
CRYING AND COMPLAINING ALL AT
00:11:02.32\00:11:06.93
ONCE AND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T
THINK GOD WAS UPSET WITH ME FOR
00:11:06.93\00:11:09.60
DOING THAT, BECAUSE SOMETIMES
YOUR HEART'S BROKEN AND YOU JUST
00:11:09.60\00:11:12.90
- YOU KNOW, THEY SAY PART OF THE
GRIEVING PROCESS IS YOU'VE JUST
00:11:12.90\00:11:16.54
GOT TO PROCESS WHAT'S HAPPENING.
AND PART OF BEING A GOOD FRIEND
00:11:16.54\00:11:21.44
IS LISTENING TO
YOUR FRIENDS RANT.
00:11:21.44\00:11:23.41
AND SOMETIMES
THEY DON'T MAKE SENSE.
00:11:23.41\00:11:26.61
I REMEMBER I GOT ALL UPSET WITH
MY FATHER AND I STARTED BLAMING
00:11:26.61\00:11:29.05
HIM FOR ME BEING BORN AND ALL
KINDS OF THINGS, AND THIS IS ONE
00:11:29.05\00:11:32.42
OF THE TIMES WHEN HE WAS
ACTUALLY PATIENT - IT WASN'T
00:11:32.42\00:11:34.69
OFTEN - AND HE KNEW I WAS JUST,
YOU KNOW, A TEENAGER, AND I WAS
00:11:34.69\00:11:39.09
JUST COMPLAINING ABOUT LIFE OR
HAVING A HARD TIME OR WHATEVER
00:11:39.09\00:11:41.53
IT WAS - AND HE JUST LISTENED
AND SAID, 'ALRIGHT, IT'S GOING
00:11:41.53\00:11:45.83
TO BE OKAY. CALM
DOWN.' AND, YOU KNOW,
00:11:45.83\00:11:47.57
SOMETIMES YOU'RE
BETTER. YOU FEEL BETTER JUST BY
00:11:47.57\00:11:49.90
KIND OF GETTING IT
OUT. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
00:11:49.90\00:11:52.47
AND SO JOB SAID, 'I AM
GOING TO GIVE FREE COURSE TO MY
00:11:52.47\00:11:55.64
COMPLAINT.' AND YET, LATER, GOD
SAYS JOB DID NOT SIN WITH HIS
00:11:55.64\00:11:59.25
LIPS. SO IT MUST
BE OKAY, SOMETIMES,
00:11:59.25\00:12:01.28
TO TELL GOD
WHAT'S IN YOUR HEART.
00:12:01.28\00:12:02.95
SAY, 'LORD, YOU KNOW ANYWAY,
SO I'M GOING TO VERBALIZE IT.
00:12:02.95\00:12:06.72
NOT DO IT TO DISCOURAGE ANYBODY
BUT, YOU KNOW, I JUST FEEL LIKE
00:12:06.72\00:12:10.16
I NEED TO GIVE VENT TO THESE
THINGS - "I WILL SAY TO GOD,
00:12:10.16\00:12:13.83
'DO NOT CONDEMN ME; SHOW ME
WHY YOU CONTEND WITH ME; DOES IT
00:12:13.83\00:12:18.50
SEEM GOOD TO YOU THAT YOU SHOULD
OPPRESS, THAT YOU SHOULD DESPISE
00:12:18.50\00:12:22.84
THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS,'" - I'M
YOUR CREATURE - "AND SMILE ON
00:12:22.84\00:12:26.21
THE COUNSEL OF THE WICKED?" -
WHY WOULD YOU BE UPSET WITH ME?
00:12:26.21\00:12:29.61
I'VE SERVED YOU AND IT SEEMS
LIKE YOU PROSPER THE WICKED.
00:12:29.61\00:12:33.25
- "DO YOU HAVE EYES OF FLESH?
OR DO YOU SEE AS MAN SEES?
00:12:33.25\00:12:36.52
ARE YOUR DAYS LIKE
THE DAYS OF A MORTAL MAN?
00:12:36.52\00:12:39.29
ARE YOUR YEARS LIKE THE DAYS
OF A MIGHTY MAN, THAT YOU SHOULD
00:12:39.29\00:12:42.62
SEEK FOR MY LIFE - THAT YOU
SHOULD SEEK FOR MY INIQUITY AND
00:12:42.62\00:12:46.16
SEARCH OUT MY SIN, ALTHOUGH YOU
KNOW THAT I AM NOT WICKED," -
00:12:46.16\00:12:50.20
NOW WAS JOB
SAYING HE WAS SINLESS?
00:12:50.20\00:12:53.54
- "AND THERE IS NO ONE WHO
CAN DELIVER FROM YOUR HAND?
00:12:53.54\00:12:57.47
YOUR HANDS HAVE MADE ME
AND FASHIONED ME, AN INTRICATE
00:12:57.47\00:13:01.44
UNITY; YET YOU WOULD DESTROY
ME. REMEMBER, I PRAY, THAT YOU
00:13:01.44\00:13:05.98
HAVE MADE ME LIKE
CLAY. AND WILL YOU TURN
00:13:05.98\00:13:09.12
ME INTO DUST AGAIN? DID
YOU NOT POUR ME OUT LIKE
00:13:09.12\00:13:13.25
MILK," - NOW IS IT - IT'S
NOT WRONG TO COMPLAIN THAT, YOU
00:13:13.25\00:13:19.93
KNOW, TO TALK TO GOD - JUST OPEN
YOUR HEART AND TELL HIM WHAT
00:13:19.93\00:13:22.20
YOU'RE GOING THROUGH - ARE THERE
OTHERS IN THE BIBLE THAT HAVE
00:13:22.20\00:13:25.37
DONE THAT, THAT
YOU CAN THINK ABOUT?
00:13:25.37\00:13:28.97
YEAH, I THINK THAT WE
CAN FIND A FEW CASES OF THAT.
00:13:28.97\00:13:32.51
I TELL YOU WHAT, HOW MANY OF YOU
REMEMBER - SOMEONE'S GOING TO
00:13:32.51\00:13:36.01
READ FOR ME NEHEMIAH 13:14 -
DOES ONE OF YOU DOWN THERE HAVE
00:13:36.01\00:13:40.92
THAT? OKAY, JUST A MOMENT.
WE'LL GET READY FOR THAT.
00:13:40.92\00:13:43.39
WHILE THEY'RE GETTING THE CAMERA
FOCUSED, I WANT TO READ FOR YOU
00:13:43.39\00:13:46.82
ISAIAH 38, VERSE 2. HOW
MANY OF YOU REMEMBER WHEN
00:13:46.82\00:13:49.59
KING HEZEKIAH WAS SICK AND IT
LOOKED LIKE A TERMINAL SICKNESS
00:13:49.59\00:13:54.03
BECAUSE ISAIAH THE PROPHET COMES
TO HIM AND HE SAID, 'GET YOUR
00:13:54.03\00:13:57.33
HOUSE IN ORDER FOR
YOU'RE GOING TO DIE'?
00:13:57.33\00:14:01.50
NOW THAT WAS ESPECIALLY
TROUBLING TO HEZEKIAH BECAUSE,
00:14:01.50\00:14:06.21
YOU KNOW, YOU SORT OF EXPECT
WHEN YOU'RE 90 YEARS OLD, YOU
00:14:06.21\00:14:08.38
MIGHT GET THAT DIAGNOSIS
EVENTUALLY, BUT IF YOU'RE IN
00:14:08.38\00:14:12.25
YOUR PRIME, YOU FEEL
LIKE YOU'RE BEING ROBBED.
00:14:12.25\00:14:15.32
AND HE WAS STILL
COMPARATIVELY YOUNG.
00:14:15.32\00:14:18.22
HE DID NOT EVEN HAVE A
MALE HEIR YET FOR THE KINGDOM.
00:14:18.22\00:14:21.99
YOU REALIZE, MANASSEH WASN'T
EVEN BORN - IT MIGHT HAVE BETTER
00:14:21.99\00:14:24.33
IF MANASSEH WASN'T BORN,
BUT MANASSEH WASN'T BORN YET.
00:14:24.33\00:14:28.13
AND SO - AND HE WAS A GOOD KING
- HE'S WONDERING 'WHY IS THIS
00:14:28.13\00:14:32.03
HAPPENING?' LISTEN
TO WHAT HE SAYS 'THEN
00:14:32.03\00:14:34.00
HEZEKIAH' - AFTER HE GETS
THIS WORD FROM ISAIAH, THAT HE'S
00:14:34.00\00:14:38.01
GOING TO DIE - 'SET YOUR HOUSE
IN ORDER' MEANS FIX YOUR WILL.
00:14:38.01\00:14:41.88
YOU REMEMBER, IT SAYS AHITHOPHEL
PUT HIS HOUSE IN ORDER, THEN HE
00:14:41.88\00:14:44.28
HUNG HIMSELF. THAT
MEANS HE FILLED OUT HIS
00:14:44.28\00:14:46.72
WILL, TOOK CARE OF HIS ESTATE,
MADE SURE EVERYTHING WAS IN
00:14:46.72\00:14:49.22
ORDER FOR PROBATE,
THEN HE HUNG HIMSELF.
00:14:49.22\00:14:52.09
ALSO, IN ISAIAH, IT SAYS TO
HEZEKIAH, 'SET YOUR HOUSE IN
00:14:52.09\00:14:54.32
ORDER.' HE SAYS 'MAKE SURE YOUR
WILL IS CLEAR.' OUR SON WAS IN
00:14:54.32\00:14:58.93
THE MARINES AND HE WAS DEPLOYED
TO IRAQ AND HE SAID IT WAS
00:14:58.93\00:15:03.13
RATHER SOBERING WHEN HIS
COMMANDER SAID, 'YOU ALL NEED TO
00:15:03.13\00:15:06.87
FILL OUT YOUR WILL BEFORE YOU
GO INTO THIS TERRITORY.' AND HE
00:15:06.87\00:15:15.04
WENT, 'WHAT? IS IT THAT BAD?'
BUT IF ANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN IN
00:15:15.04\00:15:18.08
THE SERVICE, YOU KNOW
THEY DO THAT WITH EVERYBODY.
00:15:18.08\00:15:20.48
THEY SAY YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR
ESTATE FILLED OUT AHEAD OF TIME.
00:15:20.48\00:15:24.82
WELL THAT'S NOT A GOOD -
THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR
00:15:24.82\00:15:26.59
SOMEONE TELL YOU. IF THE
DOCTOR COMES IN AND SAYS,
00:15:26.59\00:15:29.62
'IS YOUR WILL ALL UP
TO DATE?' THAT'S NOT GOOD.
00:15:29.62\00:15:34.30
AND SO, ISAIAH SAYS THAT "THEN
HEZEKIAH TURNED HIS FACE TOWARD
00:15:34.30\00:15:37.50
THE WALL, AND PRAYED TO THE
LORD, AND SAID, 'REMEMBER NOW, O
00:15:37.50\00:15:40.87
LORD, I PRAY, HOW I HAVE WALKED
BEFORE YOU IN TRUTH AND WITH A
00:15:40.87\00:15:44.41
LOYAL HEART, AND HAVE DONE
WHAT IS GOOD IN YOUR SIGHT.' AND
00:15:44.41\00:15:47.81
HEZEKIAH WEPT
BITTERLY." AND SO HE'S CRYING
00:15:47.81\00:15:50.28
'LORD, WHY ME? I'VE BEEN
GOOD. WHY DO YOU' - SO HE'S
00:15:50.28\00:15:52.95
PLEADING HIS GOODNESS TO GOD.
SO IT'S NOT WITHOUT PRECEDENT
00:15:52.95\00:15:56.35
THAT JOB WOULD SAY, 'LORD, NOW
WE'VE ALL SINNED, BUT FOR THE
00:15:56.35\00:15:59.72
MOST PART, I'VE BEEN YOUR
SERVANT.' AND HAVE YOU EVER
00:15:59.72\00:16:04.66
FELT WORTHY TO DO
THAT? I NEVER HAVE, BUT
00:16:04.66\00:16:08.50
IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE. GO
AHEAD, READ FOR US, NEHEMIAH
00:16:08.50\00:16:10.53
13:14, YOU'LL SEE IT
AGAIN. >>"REMEMBER ME, O MY GOD,
00:16:10.53\00:16:16.74
CONCERNING THIS, AND DO NOT WIPE
OUT MY GOOD DEEDS THAT I HAVE
00:16:16.74\00:16:20.44
DONE FOR THE HOUSE OF MY
GOD, AND FOR ITS SERVICES!"
00:16:20.44\00:16:24.55
>>YEAH, SO NEHEMIAH, HE'S UNDER
CONSTANT THREAT FROM THE - THE
00:16:24.55\00:16:29.85
ARABIANS AND THE SAMARITANS AND
THEY KEPT PLOTTING FOR HIS LIFE
00:16:29.85\00:16:34.52
AND HE'S TRYING TO BUILD THE
WALL AND THEY HAVE TO DO IT WITH
00:16:34.52\00:16:36.79
A SWORD IN ONE HAND AND A TROWEL
IN THE OTHER AND HE'S SAYING,
00:16:36.79\00:16:40.33
'LORD, YOU KNOW,
I'M TRYING TO SERVE YOU.
00:16:40.33\00:16:43.33
REMEMBER MY GOOD DEEDS AND
PLEASE BLESS.' NOT TOO MANY OF
00:16:43.33\00:16:46.57
US PLEAD THAT BEFORE THE LORD;
THERE'S MAYBE A COUPLE OTHER
00:16:46.57\00:16:49.60
CASES IN THE BIBLE, BUT THIS IS
WHAT JOB IS DOING AND GOD DOES
00:16:49.60\00:16:53.04
NOT CONDEMN HIM FOR IT BECAUSE,
LET'S FACE IT, WE ARE NOT SAVED
00:16:53.04\00:16:59.65
BY WORKS, WE ARE SAVED
BY GRACE. ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:16:59.65\00:17:02.88
BUT WHEN YOU'RE SAVED BY GRACE,
YOUR WORKS WILL BE DIFFERENT.
00:17:02.88\00:17:07.29
HAVE YOU SEEN THE BUMPER STICKER
'CHRISTIANS AREN'T PERFECT, JUST
00:17:07.29\00:17:12.56
FORGIVEN'? I
RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE
00:17:12.56\00:17:16.43
WITH THAT BUMPER
STICKER. CHRISTIANS ARE MORE
00:17:16.43\00:17:18.97
THAN 'JUST' FORGIVEN.
YOU ARE A NEW CREATURE - OLD
00:17:18.97\00:17:23.64
THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY
- ALL THINGS ARE MADE NEW.
00:17:23.64\00:17:26.11
NOT ONLY ARE YOU
FORGIVEN, YOU ARE TRANSFORMED.
00:17:26.11\00:17:30.08
YOU SHOULD BE
DIFFERENT IF YOU'RE CHRISTIAN.
00:17:30.08\00:17:32.68
AND IF YOU HAVE BEEN CONVERTED
AND YOU'RE LIVING A NEW LIFE AND
00:17:32.68\00:17:35.58
YOU'RE RESISTING WHAT IS EVIL
AND TRYING TO FOLLOW WHAT IS
00:17:35.58\00:17:38.49
GOOD, IT'S NOT INAPPROPRIATE
TO SAY, 'LORD, I'M ON YOUR SIDE.
00:17:38.49\00:17:43.36
HAVEN'T I GIVEN
MY HEART TO YOU?'
00:17:43.36\00:17:45.53
AND SO, THAT'S WHAT JOB
IS DOING IN THIS PRAYER.
00:17:45.53\00:17:47.60
HE'S NOT SAYING, 'I DESERVE IT'
BECAUSE WE ALWAYS PRAY IN JESUS'
00:17:47.60\00:17:49.76
NAME - BY THE MERITS OF CHRIST
- BUT HE WAS STATING A FACT.
00:17:49.76\00:17:56.14
AND THEN YOU GO TO JOB 10:10,
'DID YOU NOT POUR ME OUT LIKE
00:17:56.14\00:18:01.91
MILK, AND CURDLE ME LIKE
CHEESE," - ANY OF YOU MAKE - YOU
00:18:01.91\00:18:06.15
KNOW YOU - ANYWAY, YOU KNOW HOW
MILK SEPARATES - "CLOTHE ME WITH
00:18:06.15\00:18:12.52
SKIN AND FLESH, AND KNIT ME
TOGETHER WITH BONES AND SINEWS?"
00:18:12.52\00:18:16.99
- SOUNDS LIKE THE - THE PROPHECY
OF EZEKIEL - "YOU HAVE GRANTED
00:18:16.99\00:18:21.73
ME LIFE AND FAVOR, AND YOUR
CARE HAS PRESERVED MY SPIRIT."
00:18:21.73\00:18:25.23
HE SAYS, 'YOU'VE
BLESSED ME ON EVERY SIDE.
00:18:25.23\00:18:26.77
YOU WERE SO GOOD TO ME.' - "AND
THESE THINGS YOU HAVE HIDDEN IN
00:18:26.77\00:18:29.84
YOUR HEART; I KNOW THAT THIS
WAS WITH YOU: IF I SIN, THEN YOU
00:18:29.84\00:18:35.48
MARK ME, AND WILL NOT ACQUIT ME
OF MY INIQUITY." - MEANING, IF
00:18:35.48\00:18:39.38
HE LIVES IN SIN - "IF I AM
WICKED, WOE TO ME; EVEN IF I AM
00:18:39.38\00:18:44.69
RIGHTEOUS, I CANNOT LIFT UP MY
HEAD. I AM FULL OF DISGRACE;" -
00:18:44.69\00:18:48.19
SEE, HE ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT NONE OF US ARE SINLESS.
00:18:48.19\00:18:51.76
HE SAYS, "EVEN IF I'M RIGHTEOUS,
I CANNOT LIFT UP MY HEAD.
00:18:51.76\00:18:55.80
I AM FULL OF
DISGRACE; SEE MY MISERY!
00:18:55.80\00:18:58.60
IF MY HEAD IS EXALTED, YOU
HUNT ME LIKE A FIERCE LION, AND
00:18:58.60\00:19:02.44
AGAIN YOU SHOW
YOURSELF AWESOME AGAINST ME."
00:19:02.44\00:19:05.31
- AND IF I SHOULD BE PROUD AND
EXALT MYSELF, IT SHOULD BE EVEN
00:19:05.31\00:19:07.78
WORSE - "AND AGAIN YOU SHOW
YOURSELF AWESOME AGAINST ME.
00:19:07.78\00:19:13.05
YOU RENEW YOUR WITNESSES
AGAINST ME, AND INCREASE YOUR
00:19:13.05\00:19:15.82
INDIGNATION TOWARD ME; CHANGES
AND WAR ARE EVER WITH ME.
00:19:15.82\00:19:21.76
WHY THEN HAVE YOU
BROUGHT ME OUT OF THE WOMB?
00:19:21.76\00:19:24.39
OH, THAT I HAD
PERISHED AND NO EYE HAD SEEN ME!
00:19:24.39\00:19:30.47
I WOULD HAVE BEEN AS
THOUGH I HAD NOT BEEN.
00:19:30.47\00:19:33.10
I WOULD HAVE BEEN CARRIED
FROM THE WOMB TO THE GRAVE."
00:19:33.10\00:19:35.64
- NOW HERE - THIS IS A VERY
INTERESTING VERSE - I'LL TELL
00:19:35.64\00:19:37.94
YOU WHY: HE'S TALKING
HERE ABOUT A MISCARRIED CHILD.
00:19:37.94\00:19:42.98
AND HE SAID, 'IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
BETTER NOT TO BE BORN, LIKE A
00:19:42.98\00:19:45.18
CHILD THAT'S NEVER SEEN THE DAY,
CARRIED FROM THE WOMB TO THE
00:19:45.18\00:19:47.88
GRAVE.' VERY SAD PICTURE.
I'VE BEEN ASKED BEFORE, DO I
00:19:47.88\00:19:55.36
BELIEVE THAT BABIES THAT DIE IN
VITRO OR ALL THE ABORTED BABIES
00:19:55.36\00:20:03.37
ARE AUTOMATICALLY SAVED BECAUSE
IF THEY DIE BEFORE THE AGE OF
00:20:03.37\00:20:06.57
ACCOUNTABILITY ARE THEY SAVED?
THAT'S A DIFFICULT QUESTION
00:20:06.57\00:20:11.57
WHEN YOU DO THE MATH. IF
EVERY MISCARRIED AND ABORTED
00:20:11.57\00:20:17.18
BABY OF THE SAVED OR LOST
PARENTS IS AUTOMATICALLY SAVED,
00:20:17.18\00:20:24.72
HEAVEN WOULD - WE'D
BE SWIMMING IN BABIES.
00:20:24.72\00:20:27.29
IT'S GOING TO BE - YOU LOOK
AT THE - THE STATISTICS, IT IS
00:20:27.29\00:20:32.13
POSSIBLE THAT THERE WILL BE SOME
THAT WILL BE AS THOUGH THEY HAD
00:20:32.13\00:20:39.00
NOT BEEN. YOU EVER
HEARD THAT PHRASE BEFORE?
00:20:39.00\00:20:41.84
'BE AS THOUGH THEY HAD NOT BEEN'
IT'S DRAWN FROM THIS VERSE HERE.
00:20:41.84\00:20:44.57
YOU NOTICE THAT? 'I
WOULD HAVE BEEN AS THOUGH
00:20:44.57\00:20:46.98
I HAD NOT BEEN' -
IT'S LIKE - NEVER EXISTED.
00:20:46.98\00:20:51.91
IT DOESN'T - SO I THINK THAT
THERE MIGHT BE AN ARGUMENT THAT
00:20:51.91\00:20:54.32
NOT EVERY ABORTED BABY OF
BELIEVERS AND UNBELIEVERS ARE
00:20:54.32\00:20:58.49
ALL AUTOMATICALLY
GOING TO BE RESURRECTED.
00:20:58.49\00:21:01.39
THERE WILL BE SOME, TRAGIC
THOUGH IT MAY SEEM, THAT WILL BE
00:21:01.39\00:21:04.49
AS THOUGH THEY HAD NOT
BEEN. "I WOULD HAVE BEEN CARRIED
00:21:04.49\00:21:08.36
FROM THE WOMB TO THE
GRAVE. ARE NOT MY DAYS FEW?"
00:21:08.36\00:21:11.23
- I'M IN VERSE 20 - JOB
10, VERSE 20 - "ARE NOT MY DAYS
00:21:11.23\00:21:14.90
FEW?" - COMPARED
TO ETERNITY, EVEN
00:21:14.90\00:21:16.54
THOUGH HE LIVED MAYBE
NEARLY 200 YEARS - "CEASE!
00:21:16.54\00:21:20.41
LEAVE ME ALONE, THAT I MAY TAKE
A LITTLE COMFORT, BEFORE I GO TO
00:21:20.41\00:21:23.41
THE PLACE FROM WHICH I SHALL NOT
RETURN, TO THE LAND OF DARKNESS
00:21:23.41\00:21:26.88
AND THE SHADOW OF DEATH," -
MEANING, NOT RETURN TO THIS LIFE
00:21:26.88\00:21:29.65
- "A LAND AS DARK AS DARKNESS
ITSELF, AS THE SHADOW OF DEATH,
00:21:29.65\00:21:33.46
WITHOUT ANY ORDER," - DOES DAVID
REFER TO 'THOUGH I WALK THROUGH
00:21:33.46\00:21:37.33
THE VALLEY OF
THE SHADOW OF DEATH'?
00:21:37.33\00:21:40.10
SEE, JOB WROTE THIS BEFORE
DAVID, SO DAVID WAS QUOTING JOB
00:21:40.10\00:21:43.80
- "WHERE EVEN THE
LIGHT IS LIKE DARKNESS."
00:21:43.80\00:21:46.60
SO, OF COURSE, HIS FRIENDS, WHO
THINK THEY'RE HIS FRIENDS, BEGIN
00:21:46.60\00:21:49.74
TO RESPOND
AGAIN, TO HIS COMPLAINT.
00:21:49.74\00:21:52.21
NOW, HE MAKES A STATEMENT
TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, 'WHY
00:21:52.21\00:21:56.61
WILL YOU PUNISH INNOCENT BLOOD?'
IN OUR NEXT SECTION IN OUR
00:21:56.61\00:21:59.45
LESSON, WE'RE GOING TO SPEND
QUITE A TIME ON THIS, DEALS WITH
00:21:59.45\00:22:02.82
THE SUBJECT OF INNOCENT
BLOOD. HOW MANY HAVE SINNED?
00:22:02.82\00:22:07.86
>>ALL. >>ALL.
AND WE'RE GOING TO GO
00:22:07.86\00:22:09.92
INTO THAT IN JUST A MOMENT.
BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE SLAIN EVEN
00:22:09.92\00:22:15.83
THOUGH THEY ARE INNOCENT
OF SOME CAPITAL OFFENSE.
00:22:15.83\00:22:19.70
AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE IF YOU
LOOK IN THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY
00:22:19.70\00:22:22.57
CHAPTER 21 - AND, MATTER OF
FACT, I'LL GO THERE REAL QUICK.
00:22:22.57\00:22:27.41
THEY HAD AN INTERESTING RITUAL
THEY WENT THROUGH: IF A PERSON
00:22:27.41\00:22:31.08
WAS, YOU - KNOW, PERIODICALLY
YOU HEAR ON THE NEWS AND IT'S
00:22:31.08\00:22:33.11
ALWAYS VERY SAD - THEY'LL SAY,
'POLICE REPORTED THEY FOUND A
00:22:33.11\00:22:37.95
BODY.' THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE
00:22:37.95\00:22:41.66
DEATH WAS SUSPICIOUS AND THEY DO
A LITTLE MEDICAL WORK AND THEY
00:22:41.66\00:22:47.40
SAY, 'THIS IS A HOMICIDE, IT'S
NOT AN ACCIDENT.' NOW THEY'VE
00:22:47.40\00:22:51.33
GOT TO FIND OUT WHO'S
RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS
00:22:51.33\00:22:53.03
TO PAY. YOU READ
IN DEUTERONOMY 21, 'IF
00:22:53.03\00:22:56.37
ANYONE IS FOUND SLAIN' - IT
MEANS THEY'VE BEEN MURDERED -
00:22:56.37\00:23:00.04
'LYING IN THE FIELD IN THE LAND
WHICH THE LORD GOD HAS GIVEN
00:23:00.04\00:23:03.11
YOU' - GOD WANTS TO BLESS THIS
LAND AND SO, IF THERE'S A MURDER
00:23:03.11\00:23:05.61
VICTIM, THERE NEEDS
TO BE JUSTICE SOMEHOW.
00:23:05.61\00:23:11.72
AND IT DOESN'T KNOW WHO KILLED
HIM - 'THEN THE ELDERS AND YOUR
00:23:11.72\00:23:15.46
JUDGES WILL GO OUT AND MEASURE
THE DISTANCE FROM THE SLAIN MAN'
00:23:15.46\00:23:19.59
- OR, OSTENSIBLY, WOMAN - 'TO
THE SURROUNDING CITIES AND IT
00:23:19.59\00:23:23.16
WILL BE THAT THE ELDERS OF THE
CITY NEAREST TO THE SLAIN MAN
00:23:23.16\00:23:26.70
WILL TAKE A HEIFER' - AND THERE
IS A WHOLE SPECIAL SACRIFICE
00:23:26.70\00:23:29.74
THAT THEY WENT THROUGH.
AND YOU CAN READ, LATER, IN
00:23:29.74\00:23:33.01
DEUTERONOMY 21, VERSES 8 AND
9, IT SAYS THEY GO THROUGH THIS
00:23:33.01\00:23:36.85
RITUAL WHERE THEY SACRIFICE THIS
HEIFER AND "'PROVIDE ATONEMENT,
00:23:36.85\00:23:41.78
O LORD, FOR YOUR PEOPLE ISRAEL,
WHOM YOU HAVE REDEEMED, AND DO
00:23:41.78\00:23:45.02
NOT LAY INNOCENT BLOOD TO THE
CHARGE OF YOUR PEOPLE [ISRAEL].'
00:23:45.02\00:23:50.76
AND ATONEMENT WILL BE PROVIDED
ON THEIR BEHALF FOR THE BLOOD.
00:23:50.76\00:23:54.60
SO YOU SHALL PUT AWAY THE GUILT
OF INNOCENT BLOOD FROM AMONG YOU
00:23:54.60\00:23:58.93
WHEN YOU DO WHAT IS RIGHT
IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD."
00:23:58.93\00:24:02.20
AND SO, THERE IS JUST A LAW THAT
YOU FIND ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE -
00:24:02.20\00:24:06.31
NEW AND OLD TESTAMENT - YOU DID
NOT WANT TO HAVE BLOOD ON YOUR
00:24:06.31\00:24:09.91
HANDS. WHAT DID PILATE MEAN
00:24:09.91\00:24:13.25
WHEN HE WASHED HIS HANDS?
HE SAID, 'I AM INNOCENT OF THIS
00:24:13.25\00:24:18.09
MAN'S BLOOD.' HE DID NOT WANT -
HE SAYS HE'S NOT GUILTY - YET HE
00:24:18.09\00:24:21.09
CONDEMNED HIM, SO YOU CAN WASH
YOUR HANDS, YOU'RE STILL GUILTY.
00:24:21.09\00:24:24.36
BUT HE WENT THROUGH THIS RITUAL
TO SAY, 'I WANT TO BE FREE FROM
00:24:24.36\00:24:26.93
THE INNOCENT BLOOD.' AND WHEN
MANASSEH - YOU KNOW, USUALLY,
00:24:26.93\00:24:33.40
WHEN SOMEONE REPENTS, GOD
WOULD FORGIVE THE NEXT KING.
00:24:33.40\00:24:37.11
BUT AFTER THE WICKEDNESS OF
MANASSEH, KING JOSIAH, HE READS
00:24:37.11\00:24:43.55
FROM THE WORD OF GOD AND HE
TEARS HIS CLOTHES AND HE REPENTS
00:24:43.55\00:24:46.38
AND A PROPHET IS SENT TO HIM.
THE PROPHET SAID, 'I'VE SEEN
00:24:46.38\00:24:52.69
YOUR TEARS, I'VE
SEEN YOUR REPENTANCE.
00:24:52.69\00:24:54.26
I'VE SEEN THAT YOU'VE RENT YOUR
CLOTHES BECAUSE OF ALL THE SINS,
00:24:54.26\00:24:58.69
BUT - AND I'LL FORGIVE YOU
AND I'LL BLESS YOU, BUT I'M NOT
00:24:58.69\00:25:03.03
FORGIVING THE KINGDOM BECAUSE
OF ALL THE INNOCENT BLOOD THAT
00:25:03.03\00:25:06.63
MANASSEH SHED.' EVEN THOUGH
MANASSEH WAS FORGIVEN, THEY HAD
00:25:06.63\00:25:11.54
SHED SO MUCH INNOCENT BLOOD,
GOD SAID, 'THERE NEEDS TO BE
00:25:11.54\00:25:15.01
JUDGMENT FOR THAT.
DOES GOD KEEP A RECORD
00:25:15.01\00:25:19.08
OF WHAT HAPPENS? >>YES.
00:25:19.08\00:25:21.12
>>IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT,
YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S BEEN SOME
00:25:21.12\00:25:24.39
INNOCENT BLOOD AND THERE'S BEEN
NO JUSTICE FOR THAT INNOCENT
00:25:24.39\00:25:26.55
BLOOD, AND YEARS GO BY AND YOU
SAY, 'OH WELL, THAT WAS YEARS
00:25:26.55\00:25:29.46
AGO. NOTHING'LL
HAPPEN.' NO, THERE
00:25:29.46\00:25:31.73
IS JUSTICE WITH GOD AND IT MAY
PROCRASTINATE OR IT MAY DELAY,
00:25:31.73\00:25:35.86
BUT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER WHEN
00:25:35.86\00:25:38.93
JESUS WAS WEEPING OVER
JERUSALEM AND HE SAID, 'WOE UNTO
00:25:38.93\00:25:42.97
YOU JERUSALEM, JERUSALEM.
HOW OFTEN WOULD I HAVE SHIELDED
00:25:42.97\00:25:45.71
YOU UNDER MY WINGS AS A HEN DOES
HER CHICKS, BUT YOU WOULD NOT?
00:25:45.71\00:25:49.84
BUT I SAY UNTO YOU THAT ALL
OF THE BLOOD OF ABEL' - ABEL WAS
00:25:49.84\00:25:57.59
SLAIN BY HIS BROTHER - INNOCENT
BLOOD - 'UNTO ZACHARIAH, THE SON
00:25:57.59\00:26:02.39
OF BERECHAIAH, WHO WAS SLAIN
BETWEEN THE PORCH AND THE ALTAR'
00:26:02.39\00:26:05.56
- THIS WAS A PRIEST, THE SON OF
JEHOIADA WHO WAS KILLED BY KING
00:26:05.56\00:26:09.33
JOASH, YOU KNOW, YOUNG KING,
SEVEN YEARS OLD - HE WAS GOOD
00:26:09.33\00:26:12.17
WHEN HE WAS YOUNG; HE GOT OLDER,
HE WENT BAD AND HE STARTED TO
00:26:12.17\00:26:16.44
PERSECUTE THE PROPHETS AND THE
PRIESTS THAT WERE TELLING HIM
00:26:16.44\00:26:19.64
ABOUT HIS BAD BEHAVIOR, AND
HE KILLED THE SON - HIS NAME WAS
00:26:19.64\00:26:23.95
ZACHARIAH - NOT THE ZECHARIAH
WHO WROTE THE BOOK IN THE BIBLE.
00:26:23.95\00:26:27.32
HE KILLED ZACHARIAH IN THE
TEMPLE - SPILLED HIS BLOOD IN
00:26:27.32\00:26:31.75
THE TEMPLE OF ALL PLACES,
AND JESUS, LOOKING AT THAT SAID,
00:26:31.75\00:26:34.76
'ALL THE BLOOD FROM ABEL' - ONE
OF THE FIRST CHURCH MEMBERS -
00:26:34.76\00:26:38.83
'TO THE TIME JUST BEFORE THE
BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY,' - HE SAID
00:26:38.83\00:26:42.26
- 'IS GOING TO COME ON THIS
GENERATION.' HOW WOULD YOU LIKE
00:26:42.26\00:26:46.33
- HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO PAY FOR
ALL OF THE COLLECTIVE GUILT OF
00:26:46.33\00:26:51.71
THE PEOPLE - THE RIGHTEOUS THAT
HAVE BEEN SLAIN - FROM ABEL UP
00:26:51.71\00:26:56.58
UNTIL THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY?
AND HE SAID IT WAS GOING TO COME
00:26:56.58\00:26:58.98
ON THAT GENERATION, AND WHEN YOU
READ THE BOOK GREAT CONTROVERSY
00:26:58.98\00:27:02.18
- HOW MANY OF YOU
HAVE READ THAT BOOK?
00:27:02.18\00:27:04.52
IT STARTS OUT WITH THE FALL OF
JERUSALEM AND IT TALKS ABOUT THE
00:27:04.52\00:27:07.19
TERRIBLE JUDGMENTS THAT FELL ON
THE JEWISH PEOPLE, AND IT WASN'T
00:27:07.19\00:27:12.36
JUST FOR THEIR REJECTING
CHRIST, IT WAS A JUDGMENT OF GOD
00:27:12.36\00:27:17.47
WITHDRAWING HIS PROTECTION IN
ALL THE INNOCENT BLOOD THAT HAD
00:27:17.47\00:27:21.80
COMPILED. SO, WHEN
YOU PRAY, LET'S SAY YOU
00:27:21.80\00:27:27.74
PRAY FOR YOUR KIDS - YOU PRAY
FOR THEIR CONVERSION - IF SOME
00:27:27.74\00:27:29.91
OF THEM AREN'T CONVERTED, YOU
PRAY FOR YOUR KIDS - AND THEN
00:27:29.91\00:27:32.51
YOU DIE AND THEY'RE
STILL NOT CONVERTED, DOES
00:27:32.51\00:27:34.65
GOD STORE PRAYERS? I THINK SO.
00:27:34.65\00:27:39.15
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF PEOPLE
THAT WERE CONVERTED AFTER THE
00:27:39.15\00:27:42.06
PEOPLE PRAYING FOR THEM DIED?
YEAH, I THINK GOD - I THINK
00:27:42.06\00:27:46.16
IT COMPOUNDS WITH INTEREST.
IF GOD CAN STORE PRAYERS AND
00:27:46.16\00:27:51.90
PAY LATER, HE CAN ALSO
STORE JUDGMENT AND PAY LATER.
00:27:51.90\00:27:56.40
AND YOU READ ABOUT WHEN KING
SAUL KILLED THE GIBEONITES - THE
00:27:56.40\00:27:59.81
JUDGMENT FOR THAT DID
NOT COME UNTIL SAUL WAS DEAD.
00:27:59.81\00:28:04.55
SOME REMEMBER, IN THE DAYS OF
DAVID THERE WAS A FAMINE - YOU
00:28:04.55\00:28:07.28
MAY REMEMBER THAT STORY.
AND SO, THERE'S THIS WHOLE
00:28:07.28\00:28:09.55
TEACHING ABOUT
INNOCENT BLOOD IN THE BIBLE.
00:28:09.55\00:28:11.92
LET ME READ YOU ANOTHER VERSE
THAT COMES INTO THIS THEME.
00:28:11.92\00:28:17.23
ISAIAH 59, VERSES 6 AND 7,
"THEIR WEBS WILL NOT BECOME
00:28:17.23\00:28:24.27
GARMENTS, NOR WILL THEY COVER
THEMSELVES WITH THEIR WORKS;
00:28:24.27\00:28:27.10
THEIR WORKS ARE WORKS
OF INIQUITY, AND THE ACT OF
00:28:27.10\00:28:30.74
VIOLENCE IS IN THEIR HANDS."
- 'IN THE HANDS' MEANS 'WORKS' -
00:28:30.74\00:28:35.68
NOTICE THAT - "THEIR FEET RUN
TO EVIL, AND THEY MAKE HASTE TO
00:28:35.68\00:28:39.11
SHED INNOCENT BLOOD;" - THERE
YOU'VE GOT THAT INNOCENT BLOOD
00:28:39.11\00:28:41.88
AGAIN - "THEIR THOUGHTS ARE
THOUGHTS OF INIQUITY; WASTING
00:28:41.88\00:28:45.02
AND DESTRUCTION
ARE IN THEIR PATHS."
00:28:45.02\00:28:46.99
NOW, WHERE IS THE MARK PLACED
ON THOSE WHO GET THE MARK OF THE
00:28:46.99\00:28:51.89
BEAST? ONE OF TWO
PLACES? >>FOREHAND AND HAND.
00:28:51.89\00:28:55.30
>>IN THE HAND - WHAT
DOES IT MEAN 'IN THE HEAD'?
00:28:55.30\00:28:57.17
>>THOUGHTS. >>IN YOUR
THOUGHTS. WHAT DOES IT
00:28:57.17\00:28:59.43
MEAN 'IN YOUR
HAND'? >>YOUR WORKS.
00:28:59.43\00:29:01.27
>>YOUR WORKS. HERE
YOU HAVE BOTH OF THOSE IN
00:29:01.27\00:29:03.17
THIS VERSE - DID YOU CATCH
THAT? "THEIR WORKS ARE WORKS OF
00:29:03.17\00:29:05.67
INIQUITY, AND THE ACT
OF VIOLENCE IS IN THEIR
00:29:05.67\00:29:07.31
HANDS...THEIR THOUGHTS ARE
THOUGHTS OF INIQUITY;" - IN THE
00:29:07.31\00:29:10.15
HAND; IN THE FOREHEAD -
IT'S TALKING ABOUT - AND THEN IT
00:29:10.15\00:29:13.55
TALKS ABOUT 'INNOCENT BLOOD'.
THOSE WHO HAVE THE MARK OF THE
00:29:13.55\00:29:17.02
BEAST ARE GUILTY
OF INNOCENT BLOOD.
00:29:17.02\00:29:19.65
YOU CAN READ IN PROVERBS 6:16 -
AND I'LL READ THROUGH VERSE 19 -
00:29:19.65\00:29:26.86
YOU'VE HEARD THIS BEFORE
- "THESE SIX THINGS THE LORD
00:29:26.86\00:29:28.56
HATES, YES, SEVEN ARE AN
ABOMINATION TO HIM:" - FIRST -
00:29:28.56\00:29:32.83
"A PROUD LOOK," - THE DEVIL
STARTED WITH PRIDE - "A LYING
00:29:32.83\00:29:36.20
TONGUE" - AND THEN HE WENT
TO DECEPTION - "HANDS THAT SHED
00:29:36.20\00:29:39.94
INNOCENT BLOOD," - SO THERE IT
IS, THREE OUT OF SEVEN AMONG THE
00:29:39.94\00:29:44.05
THINGS THAT GOD HATES IS
THE SHEDDING OF INNOCENT BLOOD.
00:29:44.05\00:29:48.62
YOU KNOW, AS MAD AS YOU MIGHT BE
AGAINST SOMEBODY, AND AS UPSET
00:29:48.62\00:29:55.32
AS YOU MIGHT BE, AND SOMEONE
MIGHT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU AND
00:29:55.32\00:29:59.69
THEY MIGHT STEAL FROM YOU,
BUT BOY, THE VERY LAST THING YOU
00:29:59.69\00:30:03.40
EVER OUGHT TO WISH
UPON ANYBODY IS THEIR DEATH.
00:30:03.40\00:30:07.74
AND YOU SHOULD
NEVER CONTEMPLATE MURDER.
00:30:07.74\00:30:10.41
SOME PEOPLE, JESUS
SAID, MURDER IN THEIR
00:30:10.41\00:30:12.24
HEARTS. WHEN YOU
STEAL FROM A PERSON,
00:30:12.24\00:30:14.91
YOU TAKE AWAY THEIR THINGS.
WHEN YOU MURDER A PERSON, YOU
00:30:14.91\00:30:19.15
TAKE AWAY EVERYTHING
THEY OWNED OR EVER COULD OWN.
00:30:19.15\00:30:21.98
YOU TAKE AWAY THEIR
TIME. YOU TAKE AWAY THEIR LIFE.
00:30:21.98\00:30:24.42
THERE'S NOTHING
MORE SEVERE THAN THAT.
00:30:24.42\00:30:27.02
AND, YOU KNOW, JUST POPPED INTO
MY MIND, BUT IT'S INTERESTING,
00:30:27.02\00:30:32.56
BUT IN ABOUT A WEEK OR
LESS, THAT A MOVIE'S GOING TO BE
00:30:32.56\00:30:37.97
RELEASED - AND I DON'T RECOMMEND
THAT YOU GO TO MOVIES - I
00:30:37.97\00:30:40.07
UNDERSTAND IT'S VERY VIOLENT
- BUT IT'S ABOUT DESMOND DOSS.
00:30:40.07\00:30:45.37
A STORY - I THINK THEY'RE
CALLING IT HACKSAW RIDGE .
00:30:45.37\00:30:47.71
HE WAS A CHRISTIAN - THEY
COULDN'T GET HIM TO CARRY A GUN
00:30:47.71\00:30:50.18
AND - AND I TALKED ABOUT THIS
DURING OUR MEN'S MEETING, BUT I
00:30:50.18\00:30:54.05
KNEW HIM AND HE SAID THAT HE
COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND, WHEN HE
00:30:54.05\00:31:00.12
LOOKED AT THE PICTURE OF CAIN
AND ABEL, HOW SOMEONE COULD KILL
00:31:00.12\00:31:03.09
THEIR BROTHER. HE
COULD NEVER THINK OF ANYTHING
00:31:03.09\00:31:05.26
WORSE YOU COULD DO THAN
TO TAKE ANOTHER HUMAN BEING'S
00:31:05.26\00:31:08.30
LIFE - FRIEND OR
ENEMY. HE DIDN'T WANT ANYONE'S
00:31:08.30\00:31:12.23
BLOOD ON HIS HANDS.
AND SO, ALL OF THIS IS, YOU
00:31:12.23\00:31:15.47
KNOW, THIS THOUGHT IS ALL
KIND OF WELLING OVER BECAUSE JOB
00:31:15.47\00:31:20.58
IS SAYING, 'I'M
INNOCENT. GOD, YOU'RE RIGHTEOUS.
00:31:20.58\00:31:24.18
WILL YOU SLAY INNOCENT BLOOD?
I'VE REPENTED OF MY SINS, WHICH
00:31:24.18\00:31:27.28
MEANS I'VE BEEN
COVERED BY YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS -
00:31:27.28\00:31:28.82
I'M YOUR SERVANT.
WHY ARE YOU AFTER ME?
00:31:28.82\00:31:31.12
IT'S NOT LIKE I'VE GOT AN ENEMY
OUT THERE AFTER ME, IT'S THE
00:31:31.12\00:31:32.82
CONSEQUENCES THAT
HAVE COME UPON ME.
00:31:32.82\00:31:35.62
SO HE'S TRYING TO
MAKE SENSE OUT OF THAT.
00:31:35.62\00:31:37.59
SOMEONE, IN A MOMENT, IS GOING
TO READ JONAH 1:14 FOR ME -
00:31:37.59\00:31:41.63
JOHN, YOU'LL HAVE THAT?
I'M GOING TO READ DEUTERONOMY
00:31:41.63\00:31:44.77
27:25 - WHEN THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL WENT INTO THE PROMISED
00:31:44.77\00:31:47.97
LAND, THEY WENT ON MOUNT GERIZIM
AND MOUNT EBAL AND THEY WOULD
00:31:47.97\00:31:51.07
SAY THE
BLESSINGS AND THE CURSINGS.
00:31:51.07\00:31:56.31
ONE MOUNTAIN WOULD SAY
WHAT THE CURSE - BLESSING IS,
00:31:56.31\00:32:00.15
THE OTHER WOULD SAY
WHAT THE CURSING IS.
00:32:00.15\00:32:01.65
AND ONE OF THE THINGS IT SAID
IN DEUTERONOMY 27:25, THEY WOULD
00:32:01.65\00:32:06.09
SHOUT OUT "'CURSED IS THE
ONE WHO TAKES A BRIBE TO SLAY AN
00:32:06.09\00:32:09.29
INNOCENT PERSON.' AND ALL
THE PEOPLE SHALL SAY, 'AMEN!'"
00:32:09.29\00:32:14.73
THE WHOLE LAND - REMEMBER WHEN
JESUS SAID THERE WAS GOING TO BE
00:32:14.73\00:32:17.73
A METING OUT OF JUDGMENT FOR
INNOCENT BLOOD SHED IN THE LAND?
00:32:17.73\00:32:21.30
THE WHOLE LAND MADE A COVENANT,
WHEN THEY TOOK THE PROMISED
00:32:21.30\00:32:23.20
LAND, THAT THERE WOULD BE
A CURSE ON ANYONE WHO SHED
00:32:23.20\00:32:27.24
INNOCENT BLOOD. AND
THAT WAS DESIGNED TO PUT THE
00:32:27.24\00:32:29.34
FEAR IN THEM THAT THEY
SHOULD NOT SLAY INNOCENT BLOOD.
00:32:29.34\00:32:33.48
BIG DEBATE IN THE NEWS TODAY
- AND DON'T ASK ME MY VIEWS ON
00:32:33.48\00:32:35.58
THIS - IT'S A POLITICALLY
CHARGED ISSUE - IS THE DEATH
00:32:35.58\00:32:41.62
PENALTY - DEATH PENALTY.
AND SOME TAKE THE POSITION THAT
00:32:41.62\00:32:49.96
BECAUSE, OCCASIONALLY, SOMEBODY
IS EXECUTED, WHO THEY LATER
00:32:49.96\00:32:54.94
FOUND OUT WAS INNOCENT
AND THEY'VE DONE SOME NEW
00:32:54.94\00:32:58.01
DISCOVERIES BECAUSE OF DNA
EVIDENCE THEY DID NOT HAVE WHEN
00:32:58.01\00:33:00.48
PEOPLE WERE CHARGED YEARS AGO,
THAT NOBODY SHOULD BE EXECUTED
00:33:00.48\00:33:05.61
LEST SOMEBODY
INNOCENT BE EXECUTED.
00:33:05.61\00:33:08.58
PERSONALLY - I TOLD YOU I WASN'T
GOING TO TELL YOU MY VIEW, BUT I
00:33:08.58\00:33:10.72
DISAGREE WITH THAT
CONCLUSION. (LAUGHTER)
00:33:10.72\00:33:14.32
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU
LIVE LIKE THAT AND YOU DON'T
00:33:14.32\00:33:16.49
EVER DO ANYTHING, YOU
MIGHT DO SOMETHING WRONG.
00:33:16.49\00:33:18.79
BUT, BECAUSE - BUT IT IS TRUE
- THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BIG HEARTS
00:33:18.79\00:33:22.93
THAT THINK THAT WAY, THEY THINK,
YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE BETTER TO,
00:33:22.93\00:33:26.17
YOU KNOW, PRESERVE IN A PRISON
MURDERERS, YOU KNOW, UNTIL THEY
00:33:26.17\00:33:30.34
DIE OF NATURAL CAUSES, THAN
TO TAKE THE RISK THAT YOU MIGHT
00:33:30.34\00:33:32.71
EXECUTE ONE INNOCENTLY. I
THINK YOU JUST NEED TO BE VERY
00:33:32.71\00:33:37.31
CAREFUL BEFORE YOU WOULD EVER
PRONOUNCE SOMETHING LIKE THAT,
00:33:37.31\00:33:40.72
BECAUSE THE BIBLE'S PRETTY CLEAR
THAT CAPITAL OFFENSE WAS LEGAL.
00:33:40.72\00:33:45.02
WHICH BRINGS ME TO ANOTHER
POINT: ONE OF THE MOST COMMON
00:33:45.02\00:33:47.82
QUESTIONS THAT WE GET IN OUR
RADIO PROGRAM - SOMEONE STARTS
00:33:47.82\00:33:52.86
READING THE BIBLE AND THEY SAY,
'I'M NOT SO SURE I BELIEVE THE
00:33:52.86\00:33:54.76
BIBLE BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S
FULL OF CONTRADICTIONS.' I'LL
00:33:54.76\00:33:57.13
SAY, 'WELL, HELP ME, WHAT
CONTRADICTION ARE YOU THINKING
00:33:57.13\00:33:58.97
OF?' THEY'LL SAY, 'WELL, GOD
SAID, 'THOU SHALT NOT KILL' AND
00:33:58.97\00:34:03.04
THEN I READ A FEW CHAPTERS
LATER, HE SENDS AN ARMY OUT TO
00:34:03.04\00:34:05.71
KILL EVERYBODY IN A
TOWN. WHAT'S WITH THAT?
00:34:05.71\00:34:09.18
HOW CAN GOD SAY, 'DON'T KILL'
AND SAY, 'GO KILL EVERYBODY'?
00:34:09.18\00:34:12.35
I SAID, 'WELL, THERE'S A
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KILLING AND
00:34:12.35\00:34:15.38
MURDER AND THE COMMANDMENT,
ACTUALLY, DOES NOT REALLY SAY,
00:34:15.38\00:34:19.25
'THOU SHALT NOT KILL' BECAUSE IF
YOU WERE TO USE THAT KIND OF A
00:34:19.25\00:34:23.73
TECHNICAL DEFINITION, IF YOU
INHALE AN AMOEBA AND IT DIES,
00:34:23.73\00:34:28.93
YOU KILLED. IF YOU
SWAT A MOSQUITO - HOW
00:34:28.93\00:34:31.20
MANY HAVE SWATTED A
MOSQUITO? 'FESS UP. COME ON.
00:34:31.20\00:34:35.24
I SEE SOME OF YOU AREN'T RAISING
HANDS. HE JUST - YOU JUST LISTEN
00:34:35.24\00:34:38.31
IN THE BACKGROUND,
SCORNFUL OF ANY QUESTION I ASK.
00:34:38.31\00:34:41.84
YOU'VE NEVER SWATTED A
MOSQUITO? IS THAT MURDER?
00:34:41.84\00:34:46.98
YOU MURDERED THE MOS - YOU SAY,
'BUT IT WASN'T INNOCENT BLOOD -
00:34:46.98\00:34:51.05
HE HAD MY BLOOD.' WHEN A
POLICEMAN SHOOTS SOMEBODY JUSTLY
00:34:51.05\00:35:00.20
WHO WAS COMMITTING A
VIOLENT CRIME, DO YOU CALL HIM A
00:35:00.20\00:35:04.70
MURDERER? AND I
KNOW THAT'S ANOTHER
00:35:04.70\00:35:06.00
POLITICALLY-CHARGED ISSUE TODAY,
BUT IF THEY'RE DOING IT, IS
00:35:06.00\00:35:09.14
THERE EVER A JUST
TIME TO USE THEIR WEAPON?
00:35:09.14\00:35:11.74
WHAT ABOUT A SOLDIER WHO GOES
IN DEFENSE OF YOUR COUNTRY, OR
00:35:11.74\00:35:15.61
WHO'S DEFENDING YOUR HOMELAND
AGAINST AN INVASION - IF THEY
00:35:15.61\00:35:18.78
SHOOT BACK AND THEY KILL
SOMEONE, ARE THEY A MURDERER?
00:35:18.78\00:35:24.52
NO, BECAUSE JESUS, WHEN HE SAID
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, HE SAYS,
00:35:24.52\00:35:27.06
'THOU SHALT NOT MURDER.' AND
SO, THERE IS A TIME WHEN IT IS
00:35:27.06\00:35:32.86
APPROPRIATE, IN SELF-DEFENSE OF
YOUR FAMILY OR IN DEFENSE OF A
00:35:32.86\00:35:38.57
COUNTRY - YOU NOTICE IT KEEPS
USING THE WORDS 'INNOCENT BLOOD'
00:35:38.57\00:35:42.87
'INNOCENT BLOOD'
'INNOCENT BLOOD'?
00:35:42.87\00:35:44.34
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT SUGGESTS?
SOME BLOOD IS NOT INNOCENT
00:35:44.34\00:35:47.64
OR YOU WOULDN'T
NEED THAT QUALIFIER,
00:35:47.64\00:35:48.94
YOU'D JUST SAY 'BLOOD'.
AND SO, THERE ARE SOME WHO ARE
00:35:48.94\00:35:53.55
UNJUST AND MOSES WAS ALSO GIVEN
LAWS THAT SAY IF A PERSON DOES
00:35:53.55\00:35:57.82
THIS OR THIS OR THIS,
THEY WERE TO BE EXECUTED.
00:35:57.82\00:36:01.96
THERE WERE SOME CAPITAL OFFENSES
WHERE THEY WERE NOT INNOCENT
00:36:01.96\00:36:04.59
BLOOD, BUT TO WRONGLY SLAY AN
INNOCENT PERSON WAS ONE OF THE
00:36:04.59\00:36:10.93
WORST THINGS
THAT THERE COULD BE.
00:36:10.93\00:36:14.34
IF YOU LOOK IN 2 KINGS 24,
VERSE 4, AND BECAUSE OF THE - I
00:36:14.34\00:36:19.41
ALREADY TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS, BUT
THIS IS WHERE IT SAYS, 'BECAUSE
00:36:19.41\00:36:21.51
OF THE BLOOD THAT HE (MANASSEH)
HAD SHED, FOR HE FILLED
00:36:21.51\00:36:24.45
JERUSALEM WITH INNOCENT BLOOD.'
MANASSEH KILLED THE PROPHET
00:36:24.45\00:36:27.85
ISAIAH, AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS.
HE HAD HIS OWN CHILDREN PASS
00:36:27.85\00:36:32.52
THROUGH THE FIRE - SACRIFICED
SOME OF HIS OWN CHILDREN TO
00:36:32.52\00:36:35.92
MOLEK OR ONE OF
THESE OTHER PAGAN GODS.
00:36:35.92\00:36:38.89
ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD,
READ FOR US JONAH 1:14.
00:36:38.89\00:36:42.36
>>"THEREFORE THEY CRIED OUT
TO THE LORD AND SAID, 'WE PRAY,
00:36:42.36\00:36:46.03
O LORD, PLEASE DO NOT LET
US PERISH FOR THIS MAN'S LIFE,
00:36:46.03\00:36:49.67
AND DO NOT CHARGE US
WITH INNOCENT BLOOD; FOR YOU,
00:36:49.67\00:36:52.57
O LORD, HAVE DONE
AS IT PLEASED YOU."
00:36:52.57\00:36:55.38
>>YOU KNOW THE STORY: JONAH WAS
ON THE BOAT WITH ALL THE SAILORS
00:36:55.38\00:36:58.45
AND THEY - DOING EVERYTHING THEY
CAN TO KEEP THE BOAT ALIVE AND
00:36:58.45\00:37:03.25
FINALLY THEY REALIZE
'THIS IS A SUPERNATURAL STORM'.
00:37:03.25\00:37:05.79
THEY CAST LOTS;
THE LOT FALLS ON JONAH.
00:37:05.79\00:37:07.52
JONAH 'FESSES UP AND HE SAYS, 'I
RAN FROM THE WORD OF THE LORD.
00:37:07.52\00:37:12.56
I'M A DISOBEDIENT
WAYWARD PROPHET AND ALL THIS HAS
00:37:12.56\00:37:15.80
HAPPENED TO YOU BECAUSE OF ME.'
HE SAYS 'IT'S MY FAULT' AND HE
00:37:15.80\00:37:19.70
SAYS, 'YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
HAVE PEACE UNTIL YOU THROW ME
00:37:19.70\00:37:21.24
OVERBOARD.' JONAH SAYS
THAT! 'YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE
00:37:21.24\00:37:23.87
PEACE UNTIL YOU THROW ME OVER.
YOU'VE GOT TO SACRIFICE ME IF
00:37:23.87\00:37:25.64
YOU WANT PEACE.' THEY
DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. WHY?
00:37:25.64\00:37:28.08
BECAUSE THERE'S A RISK THAT
THEY WOULD SLAY INNOCENT BLOOD.
00:37:28.08\00:37:31.41
WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO THINK TWICE
BEFORE YOU KILLED SOMEBODY?
00:37:31.41\00:37:35.18
AND EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE
NOT BELIEVERS - THEY'RE PAGAN -
00:37:35.18\00:37:37.09
THESE SAILORS, THEY DO
EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO SAVE
00:37:37.09\00:37:39.49
THEMSELVES, BUT THEY REALIZE THE
NEXT WAVE THEY'RE GOING TO DIE
00:37:39.49\00:37:42.99
AND THEY SAID, 'ALRIGHT, LORD,
IT'S OUR LAST HOPE.' AND SO THEY
00:37:42.99\00:37:46.76
COUNT TO THREE AND THEY THROW
THEM OVERBOARD, BUT THEY PRAY,
00:37:46.76\00:37:48.53
'DON'T CHARGE US WITH INNOCENT
BLOOD.' NOW THAT'S INTERESTING,
00:37:48.53\00:37:51.37
BECAUSE JONAH'S A TYPE OF CHRIST
- JESUS SAID SO - AND AT THE
00:37:51.37\00:37:55.20
CRUCIFIXION, PILATE DID NOT WANT
TO BE GUILTY OF INNOCENT BLOOD.
00:37:55.20\00:37:58.67
THEY CAST LOTS FOR JONAH,
THEY CAST LOTS AT THE CROSS FOR
00:37:58.67\00:38:03.21
JESUS. THE BIBLE
TELLS US THAT JESUS
00:38:03.21\00:38:06.18
WAS ASLEEP IN A BOAT DURING A
STORM AND THEY WOKE HIM UP AND
00:38:06.18\00:38:08.82
SAID, 'LORD, WE'RE PERISHING.'
JONAH WAS ASLEEP IN A BOAT
00:38:08.82\00:38:12.09
DURING A STORM, THE CAPTAIN
WOKE HIM UP AND SAID, 'WE'RE
00:38:12.09\00:38:14.19
PERISHING.' IT'S JUST - A LOT OF
TYPES THERE, BUT I WON'T LAUNCH
00:38:14.19\00:38:18.46
INTO MY SERMON ON JONAH RIGHT
NOW. INNOCENT BLOOD IS THE THING
00:38:18.46\00:38:21.70
I WANTED TO BRING UP. AND
YOU CAN ALSO READ - I'VE GOT
00:38:21.70\00:38:25.67
JUST A COUPLE MORE VERSES - THIS
IS, BY THE WAY, THE TITLE OF THE
00:38:25.67\00:38:27.87
LESSON - SO I'M BEARING IT OUT
QUITE A BIT - LUKE 18:7 AND 8,
00:38:27.87\00:38:32.51
"AND SHALL GOD NOT AVENGE HIS
OWN ELECT WHO CRY OUT DAY AND
00:38:32.51\00:38:35.08
NIGHT TO HIM, THOUGH
HE BEARS LONG WITH THEM?
00:38:35.08\00:38:38.88
I TELL YOU THAT HE
WILL AVENGE THEM SPEEDILY."
00:38:38.88\00:38:41.82
NOW THAT'S - IT SAYS, 'THOUGH HE
BEARS LONG; HE WILL AVENGE THEM
00:38:41.82\00:38:45.72
SPEEDILY.' HOW DO YOU RECONCILE
'BEARS LONG' WITH 'SPEEDILY'?
00:38:45.72\00:38:51.26
WHY DOES IT SAY IN HABAKKUK,
'THOUGH THE VISION APPEARS TO
00:38:51.26\00:38:54.86
TARRY, IT WILL NOT
TARRY, HE WILL SURELY COME."
00:38:54.86\00:38:58.80
TO THOSE OF WAITING FOR THE
SECOND-COMING OF THE LORD, DOES
00:38:58.80\00:39:01.14
IT SEEM, SOMETIMES, LIKE
WE'VE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME?
00:39:01.14\00:39:04.44
WHEN YOU'RE HUMAN AND YOU
MEASURE YOUR LIFE BY, YOU KNOW,
00:39:04.44\00:39:09.01
A CENTURY, WAITING A FEW
THOUSAND YEARS FOR THE COMING OF
00:39:09.01\00:39:14.48
THE LORD SEEMS LIKE AN ETERNITY.
BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN JESUS DOES
00:39:14.48\00:39:18.52
COME, MOST OF THE WORLD
WILL THINK HE CAME TOO SOON.
00:39:18.52\00:39:21.96
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF THAT?
AND THOSE WHO DIED IN FAITH,
00:39:21.96\00:39:27.46
YOUR NEXT CONSCIOUS THOUGHT
IS THE RESURRECTION - IT'S THE
00:39:27.46\00:39:29.66
COMING OF THE
LORD, FOR YOU, RIGHT?
00:39:29.66\00:39:31.57
YOU WITH ME? YOU'RE
GOING TO THINK HOW SHORT
00:39:31.57\00:39:34.50
LIFE WAS, AFTER YOUR
FIRST ZILLION YEARS GO BY.
00:39:34.50\00:39:38.37
YOU'LL LAUGH AND CHUCKLE WHEN
YOU THINK, 'BOY, I REMEMBER WHEN
00:39:38.37\00:39:40.28
I WAS BACK ON EARTH I THOUGHT,
'LORD, WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?'
00:39:40.28\00:39:43.04
I THOUGHT FIFTY
YEARS WAS A LONG TIME.
00:39:43.04\00:39:46.58
SO SOME OF IT IS YOUR
PERSPECTIVE IS CORRECTED.
00:39:46.58\00:39:49.95
SO, HAVE YOU EVER PRAYED A LONG
TIME ABOUT AN ISSUE AND IT JUST
00:39:49.95\00:39:52.79
SEEMS LIKE THE ANSWER
TAKES FOREVER TO COME?
00:39:52.79\00:39:55.26
JESUS SAID, 'DON'T GIVE UP
PRAYING.' NOW, HOW LONG DID JOB
00:39:55.26\00:39:58.49
SUFFER? WE DON'T KNOW.
IT'S PROBABLY AN ISSUE OF WEEKS.
00:39:58.49\00:40:04.93
I MEAN, YOU JUST - IT SEEMS LIKE
THE DEVIL HIT HIM VERY QUICKLY.
00:40:04.93\00:40:08.67
QUICKLY HE LOST ALL OF
HIS THINGS AND HIS FAMILY.
00:40:08.67\00:40:12.01
AND HE RETAINED HIS INTEGRITY
AND A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE DEVIL
00:40:12.01\00:40:15.24
WANTED TO GET HIM WHILE HE WAS
STILL DOWN AND DEPRESSED AND HE
00:40:15.24\00:40:18.15
HIT HIS HEALTH. THE
PLAGUES THAT FELL ON EGYPT
00:40:18.15\00:40:21.45
CAME IN PRETTY QUICK
SUCCESSION, DIDN'T THEY?
00:40:21.45\00:40:23.99
A MATTER OF A FEW
WEEKS IT ALL HAPPENED.
00:40:23.99\00:40:25.92
SOME HAVE ESTIMATED ABOUT 45
DAYS FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE
00:40:25.92\00:40:29.59
END. AND SO, JOB IS PRAYING AND
00:40:29.59\00:40:32.13
PRAYING AND SAYING,
'LORD, HOW COME YOU DON'T
00:40:32.13\00:40:33.53
HEAR MY COMPLAINT?'
HIS FRIENDS SAT WITH
00:40:33.53\00:40:34.86
HIM FOR SEVEN DAYS.
THAT'S A LONG VIGIL TO SIT THERE
00:40:34.86\00:40:39.33
QUIETLY AND NOT SAYING A WORD
- AND WATCH YOUR FRIEND SUFFER.
00:40:39.33\00:40:44.81
I'VE STAYED IN THE HOSPITAL WITH
PEOPLE ALL DAY LONG, BEFORE, AND
00:40:44.81\00:40:49.24
IT'S HARD TO WATCH
PEOPLE SUFFER, I'LL TELL YOU.
00:40:49.24\00:40:51.95
NOT ONLY DO THEY SUFFER, YOU
SUFFER WITH THEM, BECAUSE YOU
00:40:51.95\00:40:54.62
HATE TO WATCH A PERSON SUFFER.
AND SO, JOB'S GOING, 'HOW LONG?'
00:40:54.62\00:40:59.42
AND YET JESUS SAID, 'THOUGH
HE BEARS LONG WITH THEM, HE WILL
00:40:59.42\00:41:02.82
AVENGE THEM SPEEDILY. IN OTHER
WORDS, BE PATIENT, WHEN IT DOES
00:41:02.82\00:41:05.99
HAPPEN, YOU'LL
REALIZE IT WAS SOON ENOUGH.
00:41:05.99\00:41:10.50
WHEN PILATE SAW THE HE COULD NOT
PREVAIL AT ALL - I READ THIS TO
00:41:10.50\00:41:14.44
YOU ALREADY - HE TOOK WATER -
WASHED HIS HANDS - AND SAID, 'I
00:41:14.44\00:41:17.74
AM INNOCENT OF THE BLOOD OF THIS
JUST PERSON.' COWARD - WHY DID
00:41:17.74\00:41:21.88
HE SAY HE WAS JUST
AND THEN HE CONDEMNED HIM?
00:41:21.88\00:41:24.48
REVELATION 6 GIVES US A PICTURE:
HE OPENS THE FIFTH SEAL AND
00:41:24.48\00:41:29.48
UNDER THE ALTAR WE SEE THE SOULS
OF THOSE WHO WERE SLAIN FOR THE
00:41:29.48\00:41:32.95
WORD OF GOD; FOR
THE TESTIMONY THEY HELD.
00:41:32.95\00:41:35.52
NOW THESE ARE ALREADY DEAD
- "AND THEY CRIED WITH A LOUD
00:41:35.52\00:41:38.13
VOICE, SAYING, 'HOW LONG, O
LORD, HOLY AND TRUE, UNTIL YOU
00:41:38.13\00:41:42.50
JUDGE AND AVENGE OUR BLOOD'"
- THESE ARE JUST PEOPLE - IT IS
00:41:42.50\00:41:46.13
INNOCENT BLOOD. NOW,
YOU REALIZE, OF COURSE,
00:41:46.13\00:41:49.54
THIS VERSE IN REVELATION 6 IS
A VISION - IT'S A SYMBOL - GOD
00:41:49.54\00:41:54.11
DOES NOT HAVE A BUNCH OF SOULS
TRAPPED UNDER AN ALTAR CRYING
00:41:54.11\00:41:57.85
- IN HEAVEN - AND WAILING.
I MEAN, WHO WOULD WANT TO BE
00:41:57.85\00:42:01.35
RIGHTEOUS AND HAVE THAT AS
YOUR ASSIGNMENT - YOUR JOB IS TO
00:42:01.35\00:42:04.72
BE UNDER THE ALTAR AND
CRY. IT'S TALKING ABOUT JUSTICE
00:42:04.72\00:42:08.79
CRYING OUT FOR THE RIGHTEOUS.
HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER WHEN IT
00:42:08.79\00:42:11.96
SAYS, 'THE BLOOD OF ABEL CRIED
TO THE LORD FROM THE GROUND'?
00:42:11.96\00:42:16.56
WELL, OBVIOUSLY,
BLOOD DOES NOT CRY.
00:42:16.56\00:42:19.10
IT'S TALKING ABOUT
CRYING OUT FOR JUSTICE.
00:42:19.10\00:42:22.17
AGAIN, GOD IS BASICALLY SAYING,
THROUGH THIS VISION, I HAVE NOT
00:42:22.17\00:42:25.27
FORGOTTEN THE BLOOD OF THE
RIGHTEOUS THAT HAS BEEN SHED AND
00:42:25.27\00:42:29.41
IT WILL BE AVENGED.
AND GOD IS TELLING JOB, YOU
00:42:29.41\00:42:32.91
KNOW, I KNOW YOU'RE
SUFFERING, BUT BE PATIENT.
00:42:32.91\00:42:36.85
IT'S NOT GOING TO LAST FOREVER.'
THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID HE WILL
00:42:36.85\00:42:38.89
AVENGE THEM SPEEDILY. AND
THEN I READ YOU THAT VERSE
00:42:38.89\00:42:43.22
IN MATTHEW 23:35, "THAT ON YOU
MAY COME ALL THE RIGHTEOUS BLOOD
00:42:43.22\00:42:47.23
SHED ON THE EARTH, FROM THE
BLOOD OF RIGHTEOUS ABEL TO THE
00:42:47.23\00:42:50.90
BLOOD OF ZECHARIAH, SON OF
BERECHIAH, WHOM YOU MURDERED
00:42:50.90\00:42:54.07
BETWEEN THE
TEMPLE AND THE ALTAR.
00:42:54.07\00:42:55.80
ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO YOU, ALL
THESE THINGS WILL COME UPON THIS
00:42:55.80\00:42:59.24
GENERATION." A
GENERATION'S FORTY YEARS.
00:42:59.24\00:43:02.04
JESUS MADE THAT
PROPHECY IN 30 A.D.
00:43:02.04\00:43:06.21
AND FORTY YEARS LATER - 70 A.D.
- JERUSALEM WAS ATTACKED AND ALL
00:43:06.21\00:43:11.35
THESE TERRIBLE JUDGMENTS
FELL. BOY, IT MAKES YOU SHUDDER
00:43:11.35\00:43:15.26
TO THINK ABOUT IT.
ALRIGHT, NEXT SECTION: UNFAIR
00:43:15.26\00:43:20.50
FATES - UNFAIR FATES - AND WE'RE
GOING TO BE LOOKING AT JOB 15
00:43:20.50\00:43:24.07
AND READING VERSES 14 THROUGH
16. SOMEONE'S GOING TO READ, FOR
00:43:24.07\00:43:27.07
ME, IN JUST A MOMENT, JOB
5:7. OKAY, DANIEL - HAVE THAT?
00:43:27.07\00:43:31.14
LET ME READ JOB 15:14, "WHAT
IS MAN, THAT HE COULD BE IMPURE?
00:43:31.14\00:43:37.91
AND HE WHO IS BORN OF A WOMAN,"
- I'M SORRY, I READ THAT WRONG -
00:43:37.91\00:43:41.68
"WHAT IS MAN,
THAT HE COULD BE PURE?
00:43:41.68\00:43:43.45
AND HE WHO IS BORN OF A WOMAN,
THAT HE COULD BE RIGHTEOUS?
00:43:43.45\00:43:46.72
IF GOD PUTS NO TRUST IN HIS
SAINTS," - MEANING THE ANGELS -
00:43:46.72\00:43:52.29
"AND THE HEAVENS ARE NOT PURE
IN HIS SIGHT, HOW MUCH LESS MAN,
00:43:52.29\00:43:55.26
WHO IS ABOMINABLE AND FILTHY,
WHO DRINKS INIQUITY LIKE WATER!"
00:43:55.26\00:44:00.04
NOW JOB IS ADMITTING,
YOU KNOW, MAN IS SINFUL.
00:44:00.04\00:44:04.37
GO AHEAD, PLEASE,
READ FOR US JOB 5, VERSE 7.
00:44:04.37\00:44:07.54
>>"YET MAN IS BORN TO TROUBLE
AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARD."
00:44:07.54\00:44:12.31
>>YOU'VE PROBABLY ALL
BEEN AROUND A FIRE AND YOU TOSS
00:44:12.31\00:44:14.75
ANOTHER PIECE OF WOOD IN AND
WHAT DIRECTION TO THE SPARKS GO?
00:44:14.75\00:44:19.52
EVERY NOW AND THEN ONE WILL POP
AND SHOOT OUT OF THE FIREPLACE -
00:44:19.52\00:44:21.96
THAT'S WHY YOU NEED TO HAVE
A SCREEN - BUT, TYPICALLY, THE
00:44:21.96\00:44:24.79
SPARKS ARE CARRIED UP
WITH THE HEAT - IT RISES.
00:44:24.79\00:44:28.06
IN OTHER WORDS, JOB IS SAYING IT
JUST SEEMS TO BE A LAW OF LIFE
00:44:28.06\00:44:31.27
THAT MAN IS BORN TO TROUBLE
- TROUBLE, THERE, BEING BAD
00:44:31.27\00:44:34.94
BEHAVIOR - AS THE
SPARKS FLY UPWARD.
00:44:34.94\00:44:42.31
IF YOU SEND YOUR BOY OUT TO
PLAY, YOU WANT TO KEEP AN EYE ON
00:44:42.31\00:44:46.65
HIM. IF YOU SEND TWO BOYS OUT TO
00:44:46.65\00:44:49.62
PLAY, YOU WANT TO
KEEP TWO EYES ON THEM.
00:44:49.62\00:44:52.82
IF THREE BOYS ARE OUT PLAYING,
YOU NEED TO KEEP THREE EYES ON
00:44:52.82\00:44:56.29
THEM. YOU'LL
HAVE TO GROW AN EYE.
00:44:56.29\00:44:58.73
IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S JUST A LAW OF
LIFE, THEY'RE GOING TO FIND SOME
00:44:58.73\00:45:02.10
MISCHIEF TO GET INTO.
AND YOU DON'T WAIT UNTIL THEY
00:45:02.10\00:45:09.20
GET A SKINNED KNEE BEFORE
YOU BUY THE BAND-AIDS, YOU BUY
00:45:09.20\00:45:12.04
THE BAND-AIDS IN ADVANCE,
ANTICIPATING, IF YOU HAVE KIDS
00:45:12.04\00:45:14.94
THERE WILL BE SKINNED
KNEES. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:45:14.94\00:45:18.08
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A LAW OF LIFE
THAT MAN IS BORN TO TROUBLE.
00:45:18.08\00:45:23.28
HOW MANY OF YOU THOUGHT, WHEN
YOU DECIDED TO HAVE CHILDREN,
00:45:23.28\00:45:25.55
THAT THEY'D NEVER GET
HURT OR DO ANYTHING WRONG?
00:45:25.55\00:45:28.22
JUST WONDERING -
AND YOU STILL HAD THEM?
00:45:28.22\00:45:33.76
PSALM 143, "THERE IS NONE
WHO DOES GOOD, NO, NOT ONE."
00:45:33.76\00:45:38.30
THIS IS QUOTED
LATER BY PAUL, IN ROMANS.
00:45:38.30\00:45:41.57
1 KINGS 8:46 - THIS IS THE
DEDICATION PRAYER OF SOLOMON.
00:45:41.57\00:45:46.21
HE'S IN THE TEMPLE, HE'S
DEDICATING THE SANCTUARY - A
00:45:46.21\00:45:48.24
PLACE WHERE THEY
CAME SEEKING FORGIVENESS.
00:45:48.24\00:45:51.01
IT SAYS, "WHEN THEY SIN AGAINST
YOU" - YOU NOTICE SOLOMON DIDN'T
00:45:51.01\00:45:53.38
SAY 'IF THEY SIN AGAINST YOU'?
- "WHEN THEY SIN AGAINST YOU
00:45:53.38\00:45:56.42
(FOR THERE IS NO ONE WHO
DOES NOT SIN)" - NOW THIS IS THE
00:45:56.42\00:45:59.75
WISEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED.
THIS IS SOLOMON WRITING WHILE HE
00:45:59.75\00:46:02.62
WAS STILL CLOSE TO THE LORD,
AND HE RECOGNIZED THAT, AS THE
00:46:02.62\00:46:07.40
SPARKS FLY UPWARD,
PEOPLE ARE BORN TO TROUBLE.
00:46:07.40\00:46:11.67
"(FOR THERE IS NO ONE WHO DOES
NOT SIN), AND YOU BECOME ANGRY
00:46:11.67\00:46:14.44
WITH THEM AND DELIVER THEM
TO THE ENEMY, AND THEY TAKE THEM
00:46:14.44\00:46:17.17
CAPTIVE TO THE LAND OF THE
ENEMY, FAR OR NEAR;" - IF THEY
00:46:17.17\00:46:19.64
PRAY TOWARDS THIS PLACE,
THEN HERE IN HEAVEN - I'M
00:46:19.64\00:46:22.11
PARAPHRASING THIS LAST
PART. ISAIAH 53:6 - IF YOU COULD
00:46:22.11\00:46:26.05
FINISH THIS VERSE FOR
ME, "ALL WE LIKE SHEEP" -
00:46:26.05\00:46:30.05
>>"HAVE GONE ASTRAY."
>>HOW MANY HAVE GONE ASTRAY?
00:46:30.05\00:46:32.85
>>ALL. >>ALL HAVE GONE ASTRAY.
00:46:32.85\00:46:36.06
A FEW MORE VERSES ON THIS
POINT HERE: PSALM 40:12, "FOR
00:46:36.06\00:46:40.46
INNUMERABLE EVILS HAVE
SURROUNDED ME; MY INIQUITIES
00:46:40.46\00:46:44.07
HAVE OVERTAKEN ME, SO THAT I
AM NOT ABLE TO LOOK UP; THEY ARE
00:46:44.07\00:46:47.40
MORE THAN THE HAIRS OF MY HEAD;"
- YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS GOD
00:46:47.40\00:46:50.67
HAS NUMBERED OUR HAIRS -
"THEREFORE MY HEART FAILS ME."
00:46:50.67\00:46:54.21
DAVID IS SAYING IT SEEMS
LIKE OUR SINS - IT'S JUST
00:46:54.21\00:46:57.78
INNUMERABLE. NOW,
WHEN I FIRST CAME TO THE
00:46:57.78\00:47:00.42
LORD AND I WANTED TO JOIN
THE CHURCH AND I READ WHAT THE
00:47:00.42\00:47:05.42
CRITERIA WAS, I WANTED TO BE
BAPTIZED AND JOIN THE CHURCH AND
00:47:05.42\00:47:08.36
THEY SAID, 'WELL DOUG, YOU
KNOW, YOU'VE GOT A FEW ISSUES
00:47:08.36\00:47:11.49
YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH.
FIRST, ACCEPT JESUS - ASK HIM
00:47:11.49\00:47:14.00
TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS.' - BUT MY
IDEA OF SIN - AND YOU COME OUT
00:47:14.00\00:47:17.60
OF THE WORLD AND I KIND OF HAD
A LITTLE CATHOLIC INFLUENCE -
00:47:17.60\00:47:20.20
WENT TO TWO DIFFERENT CATHOLIC
SCHOOLS AND YOU HAD, YOU KNOW,
00:47:20.20\00:47:22.47
YOUR MORTAL SINS - THE BIG
SINS - WHAT DO THEY CALL THEM?
00:47:22.47\00:47:28.71
THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS - AND
I ALWAYS THOUGHT OF SINS, YOU
00:47:28.71\00:47:31.08
KNOW, AS SOMETHING YOU COULD
COUNT - THESE BAD - YOU DON'T
00:47:31.08\00:47:33.38
STEAL, YOU DON'T LIE, YOU DON'T
- I SAID, 'ALRIGHT, I'VE GOT TO
00:47:33.38\00:47:35.92
STOP SHOPLIFTING. I'VE GOT TO
STOP' - AND THEN I SAID - 'GOTTA
00:47:35.92\00:47:38.92
STOP DRINKING, DOUG.' THEY
CAME AND SAID, 'ALRIGHT, STOP
00:47:38.92\00:47:41.72
SMOKING.' 'OKAY.' AND THERE
WERE THESE THINGS, YOU KNOW?
00:47:41.72\00:47:45.73
AND I WENT THROUGH THE LIST AND
BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WAS ABLE
00:47:45.73\00:47:48.96
TO, KIND OF, MEET THE CRITERIA
OF THESE OBVIOUS SINS AND WHEN
00:47:48.96\00:47:54.27
THEY WENT THROUGH THE BAPTISMAL
VOWS, I COULD SAY, 'YES' TO ALL
00:47:54.27\00:47:57.41
THE BAPTISMAL VOWS
IN GOOD CONSCIENCE.
00:47:57.41\00:48:00.08
I WASN'T PROMISING TO BE
SINLESS, BUT I THOUGHT, 'PRAISE
00:48:00.08\00:48:03.45
GOD, I DON'T SMOKE ANYMORE, I
DON'T DRINK ANYMORE, DON'T STEAL
00:48:03.45\00:48:05.45
ANYMORE, DON'T CURSE ANYMORE -
I - TEN COMMANDMENTS - I'M GOING
00:48:05.45\00:48:07.68
TO BY MY - BY THE GRACE OF
GOD I'M GOING TO TRY AND KEEP
00:48:07.68\00:48:09.98
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.' THEN
I KEPT READING THE BIBLE AND I
00:48:09.98\00:48:14.02
FOUND OUT SIN IS MORE THAN JUST
AN ACTION - ONE OF THESE BIG,
00:48:14.02\00:48:18.79
OBVIOUS THINGS,
SIN IS AN ATTITUDE.
00:48:18.79\00:48:23.13
JESUS SAID YOU CAN
THINK SOMETHING AND SIN.
00:48:23.13\00:48:29.50
YOU CAN THINK SOME IMPURE
THOUGHT, YOU CAN THINK EVIL
00:48:29.50\00:48:32.47
AGAINST YOUR NEIGHBOR
AND JESUS SAID IT'S MURDER.
00:48:32.47\00:48:35.28
MATTER OF FACT, HE SAID, 'LET
YOUR 'YES' BE 'YES, AND YOUR
00:48:35.28\00:48:37.71
'NO' BE 'NO'.' AND LYING IS
NOT JUST TELLING A BIG, FAT LIE,
00:48:37.71\00:48:40.65
LYING CAN BE A LOOK ON YOUR
FACE, IT COULD BE A SHRUG OF THE
00:48:40.65\00:48:44.19
SHOULDERS - I MEAN,
THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
00:48:44.19\00:48:48.32
'HOW ARE YOU FEELING?'
'FINE' - WHEN YOU'RE NOT.
00:48:48.32\00:48:50.49
I MEAN, I STARTED REALIZING,
'WOW, BY THIS HIGHER STANDARD, A
00:48:50.49\00:48:56.33
LOT OF THINGS GET DEFINED AS
SIN.' NOW, IF A PERSON HAS TO
00:48:56.33\00:49:01.30
WAIT UNTIL THEY FEEL LIKE
THEY'VE BEEN PURIFIED FROM ANY
00:49:01.30\00:49:05.14
SINFUL TENDENCY, NO
ONE'S GOING TO GET BAPTIZED.
00:49:05.14\00:49:08.08
I STILL THINK THE BAPTISMAL
CRITERIA ARE APPROPRIATE BECAUSE
00:49:08.08\00:49:12.05
YOU WANT TO BE A
WITNESS FOR THE LORD.
00:49:12.05\00:49:13.68
YOU KNOW, THE CLOSER YOU COME
TO THE LORD, YOU START REALIZING
00:49:13.68\00:49:15.42
THAT IT'S ONLY AS YOU WALK IN
THE SPIRIT OF GOD, WITH THE MIND
00:49:15.42\00:49:19.85
OF CHRIST, YOU CAN
REALLY BE LIVING WITHOUT SIN.
00:49:19.85\00:49:23.29
YOU MISSED A GOOD
CHANCE FOR AN 'AMEN'.
00:49:23.29\00:49:25.23
I THOUGHT THAT WAS
A GOOD ONE. >>AMEN.
00:49:25.23\00:49:26.53
>>BECAUSE THAT'S A -
THAT'S AN IMPORTANT TRUTH.
00:49:26.53\00:49:28.83
THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN REALLY BE A
CHRISTIAN - IT'S NOT JUST GOING
00:49:28.83\00:49:31.93
AROUND WRINGING YOUR HANDS
SAYING, 'PLEASE DON'T SHOPLIFT.'
00:49:31.93\00:49:34.94
YOU KNOW, YOUR RIGHT
HAND OFFENDS YOU, CUT IT OFF.
00:49:34.94\00:49:36.64
DON'T SHOPLIFT. OR
DON'T CURSE OR YOU'RE
00:49:36.64\00:49:39.27
GOING TO CUT OUT YOUR TONGUE.
I MEAN THOSE ARE - THAT'S THE
00:49:39.27\00:49:42.34
ELEMENTARY IDEA OF WHAT
IT MEANS TO BE A CHRISTIAN.
00:49:42.34\00:49:45.51
BEING A REAL CHRISTIAN IS IT'S
NOT I THAT LIVES, BUT CHRIST
00:49:45.51\00:49:48.35
THAT LIVES IN ME.' IT'S WHEN YOU
ARE WALKING WITH CHRIST IN THE
00:49:48.35\00:49:51.49
SPIRIT OF GOD SO THE HOLY SPIRIT
IS SAYING, 'DON'T THINK THAT
00:49:51.49\00:49:54.42
THOUGHT. DON'T SAY
THAT WORD.' IT'S EVERY
00:49:54.42\00:49:58.79
IDLE WORD THAT YOU SPEAK,
YOU'LL GIVE AN ACCOUNT THEREOF
00:49:58.79\00:50:01.13
IN THE JUDGMENT. SIN IS
NOT JUST THE BIG THINGS,
00:50:01.13\00:50:03.53
IT'S THE ATTITUDES
AND THE LITTLE THINGS.
00:50:03.53\00:50:05.70
THE ONLY WAY WE CAN LIVE IN
THE SIGHT OF A HOLY GOD IS TO BE
00:50:05.70\00:50:08.90
SPIRIT POSSESSED
BY THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
00:50:08.90\00:50:12.21
ISN'T THAT RIGHT? >>YEAH.
00:50:12.21\00:50:14.98
>>ALRIGHT, SO CARRYING ON HERE -
BETTER UNDERSTANDING WHAT SIN IS
00:50:14.98\00:50:21.82
- JESUS SAID, 'WHY
DO YOU CALL ME GOOD?
00:50:21.82\00:50:23.49
THERE IS NONE GOOD
BUT ONE AND THAT IS GOD.
00:50:23.49\00:50:26.39
ONLY GOD IS GOOD.' ROMANS 3:23,
"ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN
00:50:26.39\00:50:30.33
SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.'
SO WHEN JOB IS PLEADING HIS
00:50:30.33\00:50:33.13
GOODNESS BEFORE GOD, HE'S NOT
SAYING HE'S SINLESS - HE KNEW
00:50:33.13\00:50:35.80
THAT HE HAD
SINNED. HE'S SAYING, 'I'VE
00:50:35.80\00:50:37.33
TURNED FROM MY
SINS. I AM YOUR SERVANT.
00:50:37.33\00:50:39.07
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO
ME?' SENECA SAID SOMETHING
00:50:39.07\00:50:41.84
INTERESTING, THAT ANCIENT GREEK
PHILOSOPHER, HE SAID, 'SOME SINS
00:50:41.84\00:50:46.14
WE'VE COMMITTED, SOME SINS
WE'VE CONTEMPLATED, SOME WE HAVE
00:50:46.14\00:50:50.65
DESIRED, SOME
WE HAVE ENCOURAGED.
00:50:50.65\00:50:53.11
IN THE CASE OF SOME WE ARE
INNOCENT ONLY BECAUSE WE DID NOT
00:50:53.11\00:50:55.68
SUCCEED IN SINS.' THE NEXT
SECTION - SUFFICIENT FOR THE DAY
00:50:55.68\00:51:03.99
- AND, YOU SEE, SOME PEOPLE DID
NOT GET WHAT THEY DESERVED AND
00:51:03.99\00:51:09.13
YOU THINK, 'WHY DID THIS
HAPPEN?' SOMEONE'S GOING TO READ
00:51:09.13\00:51:11.23
FOR ME 2 SAMUEL 11:17
- OKAY, YOU'LL HAVE THAT?
00:51:11.23\00:51:15.27
GENESIS 4:8 - WE ALREADY TALKED
ABOUT THIS - "NOW CAIN TALKED
00:51:15.27\00:51:18.27
WITH ABEL HIS BROTHER; AND IT
CAME TO PASS, WHEN THEY WERE IN
00:51:18.27\00:51:21.51
THE FIELD, THAT CAIN ROSE
UP AGAINST ABEL HIS BROTHER AND
00:51:21.51\00:51:24.68
KILLED HIM." WAS THAT FAIR?
00:51:24.68\00:51:27.65
HE WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE THIRD
PERSON IN THE WORLD - SECOND
00:51:27.65\00:51:29.42
PERSON BORN - UNLESS THEY HAD A
GIRL BEFORE HIM, BECAUSE IT ONLY
00:51:29.42\00:51:32.55
MENTIONS THE BOYS - HE DIDN'T
GET TO LIVE OUT HIS LIFE - GOT
00:51:32.55\00:51:35.86
KILLED BY HIS
BROTHER. DID HE DESERVE IT?
00:51:35.86\00:51:38.39
WAS ABEL SINLESS? >>NO.
00:51:38.39\00:51:40.80
>>BUT THE BIBLE SAYS THAT
HE WAS INNOCENT, BECAUSE HE WAS
00:51:40.80\00:51:44.20
CLAIMING THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS.
HE HAD JUST WORSHIPED THE LORD
00:51:44.20\00:51:48.34
AND MADE A SACRIFICE FOR HIS SIN
AND SO, HE DIDN'T DESERVE IT.
00:51:48.34\00:51:52.87
EXODUS 12:29, "AND IT CAME TO
PASS AT MIDNIGHT THAT THE LORD
00:51:52.87\00:51:56.54
STRUCK ALL THE FIRSTBORN
IN THE LAND OF EGYPT, FROM THE
00:51:56.54\00:51:59.35
FIRSTBORN OF PHARAOH WHO SAT ON
HIS THRONE TO THE FIRSTBORN OF
00:51:59.35\00:52:03.05
THE CAPTIVE" - WERE SOME OF
THOSE FIRSTBORN THAT WERE STRUCK
00:52:03.05\00:52:05.62
BABIES? DO THEY - WHAT DID THEY
DO? DID ANY BABIES DIE IN THE
00:52:05.62\00:52:12.73
FLOOD BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T
IN THE ARK WITH THEIR FAMILIES?
00:52:12.73\00:52:15.53
THEY WERE SUFFERING THE RESULTS
OF THEIR PARENTS' DECISIONS.
00:52:15.53\00:52:19.80
AND WHAT THE PHARAOH DID PLAYED
OUT IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS.
00:52:19.80\00:52:23.81
GO AHEAD, READ FOR
US, PLEASE, 2 SAMUEL 11.
00:52:23.81\00:52:27.41
>>"THEN THE MEN OF THE CITY
CAME OUT AND FOUGHT WITH JOAB.
00:52:27.41\00:52:31.18
AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE OF
THE SERVANTS OF DAVID FELL; AND
00:52:31.18\00:52:34.55
URIAH THE HITTITE DIED ALSO."
>>NOW, WHAT DID URIAH DO WRONG?
00:52:34.55\00:52:39.99
HE WAS A LOYAL SOLDIER AND,
IN AN EFFORT TO COVER HIS SIN,
00:52:39.99\00:52:43.96
DAVID WAS NOT ONLY WILLING
TO HAVE URIAH KILLED, BUT HIS
00:52:43.96\00:52:47.00
PLATOON THAT WENT WITH
HIM TO ATTACK THE CITY WALLS.
00:52:47.00\00:52:49.80
A NUMBER OF THEM WERE KILLED
BECAUSE JOAB GAVE THEM A SUICIDE
00:52:49.80\00:52:52.57
MISSION TO MAKE SURE
URIAH WOULD BE KILLED.
00:52:52.57\00:52:55.64
YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS THOUGHT ONE
OF THE REAL INTERESTING REUNIONS
00:52:55.64\00:52:58.17
IN HEAVEN - I THINK
DAVID WAS FORGIVEN, DON'T YOU?
00:52:58.17\00:53:01.71
THE BIBLE SOUNDS
LIKE URIAH'S A GODLY MAN.
00:53:01.71\00:53:03.98
HE HAS ONE VERSE IN THE BIBLE
WHERE URIAH SPEAKS AND HE SOUNDS
00:53:03.98\00:53:06.88
LIKE A VERY
DEDICATED, GODLY MAN.
00:53:06.88\00:53:09.42
I EXPECT BATHSHEBA'S
GOING TO BE FORGIVEN.
00:53:09.42\00:53:11.99
SHE ENDED UP BEING MOTHER
TO SOLOMON - A TYPE OF CHRIST.
00:53:11.99\00:53:16.32
SO IN HEAVEN, YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE URIAH, DAVID, AND BATHSHEBA
00:53:16.32\00:53:19.06
AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING
AT THE RECORDS TOGETHER AND
00:53:19.06\00:53:22.60
URIAH'S GOING TO BE SAYING,
'DAVID, I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY
00:53:22.60\00:53:24.40
YOU HAD JOAB SEND ME
ON THIS SUICIDE MISSION.
00:53:24.40\00:53:26.97
NOW I KNOW WHAT WAS GOING
ON.' IT'S GOING TO BE VERY
00:53:26.97\00:53:29.47
INTERESTING. AM
I THE ONLY ONE WHO
00:53:29.47\00:53:33.14
WONDERS ABOUT THAT?
MATTHEW 14:10, "SO HEROD [HE]
00:53:33.14\00:53:40.35
SENT AND HAD JOHN
BEHEADED IN PRISON."
00:53:40.35\00:53:42.62
WAS THAT INNOCENT BLOOD?
AND HEROD DIED FOR THAT, LATER.
00:53:42.62\00:53:47.69
HEBREWS 11:35 THROUGH 38 -
AND THERE'S A LITANY OF THESE
00:53:47.69\00:53:51.06
PEOPLE THAT ARE GIVEN BY
PAUL, "WOMEN RECEIVED THEIR DEAD
00:53:51.06\00:53:54.36
RAISED TO LIFE AGAIN.
OTHERS WERE TORTURED, NOT
00:53:54.36\00:53:57.00
ACCEPTING DELIVERANCE,
THAT THEY MIGHT OBTAIN A
00:53:57.00\00:53:59.33
BETTER RESURRECTION.
STILL OTHERS HAD TRIAL OF
00:53:59.33\00:54:02.00
MOCKINGS AND SCOURGINGS, YES,
AND OF CHAINS AND IMPRISONMENT.
00:54:02.00\00:54:05.67
THEY WERE STONED, THEY WERE SAWN
IN TWO," - BY THE WAY, TRADITION
00:54:05.67\00:54:10.25
TELLS US THIS IS HOW
MANASSEH KILLED ISAIAH.
00:54:10.25\00:54:13.78
HE HAD HIM PLACED IN A HOLLOW
LOG AND HE WAS SAWN IN TWAIN -
00:54:13.78\00:54:17.49
THEY "WERE TEMPTED,
WERE SLAIN WITH THE SWORD.
00:54:17.49\00:54:20.46
THEY WANDERED ABOUT IN
SHEEPSKINS AND GOATSKINS, BEING
00:54:20.46\00:54:23.09
DESTITUTE, AFFLICTED, TORMENTED
- OF WHOM THE WORLD WAS NOT
00:54:23.09\00:54:27.13
WORTHY. THEY
WANDERED IN DESERTS AND
00:54:27.13\00:54:28.86
MOUNTAINS, IN DENS
AND CAVES OF THE EARTH."
00:54:28.86\00:54:31.20
THE PROPHETS OF GOD HAD TO
HIDE IN CAVES FOR THEIR LIVES.
00:54:31.20\00:54:34.77
DID THEY DESERVE IT?
DID THE RIGHTEOUS SOMETIMES
00:54:34.77\00:54:36.87
SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF THE
WICKED? NOT ONLY IN THE TIMES
00:54:36.87\00:54:39.44
BEFORE CHRIST, BUT DURING THE
GREAT TRIBULATION OF THE DARK
00:54:39.44\00:54:42.94
AGES. A LOT WERE
PERSECUTED FOR THEIR FAITH.
00:54:42.94\00:54:45.88
AND SO, YOU KNOW, IN THESE
VERSES WE REALIZE THAT, YES,
00:54:45.88\00:54:50.22
JOB, EVEN THE RIGHTEOUS
SOMETIMES SUFFER AND GOD
00:54:50.22\00:54:53.76
SOMETIMES ALLOWS
IT FOR HIS PURPOSES.
00:54:53.76\00:54:56.66
WHICH BRINGS US TO OUR FINAL
THOUGHT: WHY DOES GOD SOMETIMES
00:54:56.66\00:55:01.50
ALLOW THE RIGHTEOUS TO SUFFER?
WILL WE ALWAYS KNOW THE ANSWER?
00:55:01.50\00:55:06.23
NO, IT SAYS - HEBREWS 11:1 -
"NOW FAITH" - AND THIS IS OUR
00:55:06.23\00:55:09.60
MEMORY VERSE - "FAITH IS THE
SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR,
00:55:09.60\00:55:12.41
THE EVIDENCE OF
THINGS NOT SEEN."
00:55:12.41\00:55:16.08
AND PROVERBS 3:5, "TRUST IN
THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART.
00:55:16.08\00:55:20.32
LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN
UNDERSTANDING; IN ALL YOUR WAYS
00:55:20.32\00:55:22.92
ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE
SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS."
00:55:22.92\00:55:24.99
EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T KNOW WHY
SOMETHING MIGHT BE HAPPENING,
00:55:24.99\00:55:27.26
YOU KNOW THAT
FAMOUS VERSE IN ROMANS?
00:55:27.26\00:55:29.96
'ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER
FOR THE GOOD' - GOD CAN WORK ALL
00:55:29.96\00:55:34.30
THINGS THAT HAPPEN - EVEN IF BAD
PEOPLE DO BAD THINGS TO YOU, GOD
00:55:34.30\00:55:37.67
CAN WORK IT FOR GOOD IN THE
LIVES AND HEARTS OF THOSE THAT
00:55:37.67\00:55:41.64
LOVE THE LORD. IT
DOESN'T HAPPEN FOR EVERYBODY.
00:55:41.64\00:55:44.14
JOB 14:1 AND 2, "MAN WHO IS BORN
OF WOMAN IS OF FEW DAYS AND FULL
00:55:44.14\00:55:50.38
OF TROUBLE. HE
COMES FORTH LIKE A FLOWER
00:55:50.38\00:55:52.71
AND FADES AWAY; HE FLEES LIKE
A SHADOW AND DOES NOT CONTINUE."
00:55:52.71\00:55:57.32
OUR LIVES ARE SHORT AND THAT'S
WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE
00:55:57.32\00:55:59.72
JUST LIVE TO TRUST GOD. WE
DON'T ALWAYS UNDERSTAND WHY
00:55:59.72\00:56:03.06
THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING.
ANYWAY, JUST BEFORE WE RUN OUT
00:56:03.06\00:56:06.63
OF TIME COMPLETELY, I WANT TO
REMIND THOSE WHO MAYBE DID NOT
00:56:06.63\00:56:09.33

WEEK. (MUSIC)
00:56:37.53\00:56:49.97
>>FRIENDS, ONE OF THE AMAZING
THINGS THAT YOU'LL OFTEN FIND IN
00:56:49.97\00:56:52.27
THE SOUTH PACIFIC ISLANDS,
LIKE HERE ON FIJI, IS THE VAIVAI
00:56:52.27\00:56:55.71
PLANT. NOW, IN
NORTH AMERICA, IF YOU
00:56:55.71\00:56:57.78
WANT TO BUILD A FENCE YOU'VE GOT
TO GET FENCE POSTS AND THEN YOU
00:56:57.78\00:57:00.22
PUT THE WOODEN FENCE POSTS IN
THE GROUND AND THEN AFTER A FEW
00:57:00.22\00:57:03.39
YEARS THEY'RE GOING TO ROT
AND BREAK OFF, UNLESS THEY'RE
00:57:03.39\00:57:05.39
SPECIALLY TREATED. BUT
HERE, THEY'VE GOT THESE
00:57:05.39\00:57:08.02
TREES - THE VAIVAI TREE - THEY
CAN CUT THEM RIGHT OUT OF THE
00:57:08.02\00:57:11.13
WOODS, THEY'LL TAKE A STICK,
THEY STICK IT IN THE GROUND, AND
00:57:11.13\00:57:14.56
BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO MUCH RAIN
AND PRECIPITATION, IT BEGINS TO
00:57:14.56\00:57:17.67
SPROUT AND TURNS
INTO A LIVING FENCE POST.
00:57:17.67\00:57:20.40
IT MAKES UP ITS MIND THAT IT'S
GOING TO FLOURISH WHEREVER YOU
00:57:20.40\00:57:22.64
STICK IT, WHICH IS A
GOOD LESSON FOR YOU AND ME.
00:57:22.64\00:57:25.57
SO YOU MIGHT WONDER SOMETIMES
IF YOU'VE GOT A PURPOSE IN LIFE.
00:57:25.57\00:57:29.08
YOU MIGHT FEEL LIKE YOU'RE
GROWING SORT OF SPORADICALLY IN
00:57:29.08\00:57:31.21
EVERY DIRECTION, AND THEN ALONG
COMES THIS PERSON WHO CUTS YOU
00:57:31.21\00:57:34.22
DOWN AND CARRIES YOU OFF, HE
STICKS YOU IN THE GROUND BUT YOU
00:57:34.22\00:57:38.69
LOOK BACK AND
SAY, 'THERE WAS A PLAN.
00:57:38.69\00:57:41.12
THERE WAS A PURPOSE.' GOD KNOWS
HOW TO TEACH US HOW TO PROSPER
00:57:41.12\00:57:45.03
WHERE HE PLANTS US. YOU
MIGHT WONDER WHY THE LORD
00:57:45.03\00:57:47.66
HAS PUT YOU WHERE HE HAS IN
LIFE, BUT YOU CAN PUT DOWN ROOTS
00:57:47.66\00:57:50.77
AND YOU CAN GROW AND YOU CAN
SERVE A GREAT PURPOSE FOR GOD.
00:57:50.77\00:57:53.54
YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE GOD SAYS IN
JEREMIAH CHAPTER 29, 'I KNOW THE
00:57:53.54\00:57:57.21
PLANS THAT I'VE GOT FOR YOU
TO GIVE YOU A FUTURE.' GOD HAS A
00:57:57.21\00:58:00.31
PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE, FRIENDS,
AND HE CAN HELP YOU TO PROSPER
00:58:00.31\00:58:03.45
AND GROW
WHEREVER YOU'RE PLANTED.
00:58:03.45\00:58:06.31
