WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT.
BEFORE WE GET TO OUR STUDY THIS
00:09:42.51\00:09:45.15
MORNING, AS ALWAYS, LET'S BOW
OUR HEADS FOR A WORD OF PRAYER.
00:09:45.15\00:09:48.65
DEAR FATHER IN HEAVEN, WHAT A
PRIVILEGE TO BE ABLE TO GATHER
00:09:48.65\00:09:51.05
TOGETHER ON THIS YOUR SABBATH
AND OPEN UP YOUR WORD AND STUDY
00:09:51.05\00:09:53.66
TOGETHER. AND, AS WE LOOK AT OUR
CONTINUED STUDY IN THE BOOK OF
00:09:53.66\00:09:56.99
JOB, WE PRAY, LORD THAT THE HOLY
SPIRIT WOULD COME AND GUIDE OUR
00:09:56.99\00:10:00.50
HEARTS, OUR MINDS AS WE
UNDERSTAND A LITTLE MORE OF THE
00:10:00.50\00:10:03.43
GREAT CONTROVERSY TAKING
PLACE BEHIND THE SCENES BUT,
00:10:03.43\00:10:06.90
ULTIMATELY, HOW YOU'LL BE
VICTORIOUS AND HOW YOU COMFORT
00:10:06.90\00:10:09.64
AND STRENGTHEN THOSE
WHO PUT THEIR TRUST IN YOU.
00:10:09.64\00:10:12.64
THANK YOU, LORD, FOR
YOUR PROMISE TO BE WITH US.
00:10:12.64\00:10:14.34
IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. OUR
LESSON THIS MORNING WILL BE
00:10:14.34\00:10:17.98
BROUGHT TO US BY PASTOR
DOUG. >>GOOD TO SEE EACH OF YOU.
00:10:17.98\00:10:21.98
WE ARE CONTINUING OUR STUDY IN
THE BOOK OF JOB AND TODAY, YOU
00:10:21.98\00:10:26.89
KNOW, I SPENT MORE TIME STUDYING
THE BOOK OF JOB THIS YEAR THAN
00:10:26.89\00:10:28.99
ANY OTHER TIME IN MY
LIFE. >>PRAISE THE LORD!
00:10:28.99\00:10:31.46
>>AND I'VE LEARNED A
LOT OF THINGS. IT'S REALLY -
00:10:31.46\00:10:33.66
IT'S BEEN A BLESSING. BUT
WE'RE ON LESSON #10 IN OUR
00:10:33.66\00:10:37.80
STUDY TODAY, WHICH IS
TITLED THE WRATH OF ELIHU .
00:10:37.80\00:10:42.10
AND WE'LL EXPLAIN WHAT THAT
TITLE IS DEALING WITH, BUT WE
00:10:42.10\00:10:45.31
HAVE A MEMORY VERSE - THE MEMORY
VERSE IS ACTUALLY FROM THE BOOK
00:10:45.31\00:10:47.78
OF ISAIAH - ISAIAH 55, VERSE 9
AND IF YOU'LL SAY THAT WITH ME,
00:10:47.78\00:10:53.15
HERE IT'S IN THE NEW KING JAMES
VERSION - ISAIAH 55:9 - ARE YOU
00:10:53.15\00:10:56.82
READY? "FOR AS
THE HEAVENS ARE HIGHER
00:10:56.82\00:11:00.69
THAN THE EARTH, SO ARE MY WAYS
HIGHER THAN YOUR WAYS, AND MY
00:11:00.69\00:11:05.66
THOUGHTS THAN YOUR THOUGHTS."
AND THAT'S A THEME THAT REPEATS
00:11:05.66\00:11:10.43
ITSELF A LITTLE
LATER IN OUR LESSON.
00:11:10.43\00:11:13.77
NOW, AS WE'RE CONTINUING
ON THROUGH THE BOOK OF JOB - I
00:11:13.77\00:11:16.81
THINK YOU PROBABLY KNEW WHEN
WE STARTED ON THIS - THE BOOK OF
00:11:16.81\00:11:19.14
JOB'S GOT 42 CHAPTERS - THAT
WE WEREN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO
00:11:19.14\00:11:22.88
COVER, IN DETAIL, EVERY CHAPTER
- EVERY VERSE IN THE BOOK OF
00:11:22.88\00:11:28.02
JOB, SO THE AUTHOR OF THE LESSON
IS KIND OF DOING A FLY-OVER A
00:11:28.02\00:11:33.42
LITTLE BIT OF SEVERAL CHAPTERS
OF THE DIALOGUE THAT GOES BACK -
00:11:33.42\00:11:37.13
WE'VE NOTICED THAT JOB FINALLY
OPENS HIS MOUTH AFTER SEVEN DAYS
00:11:37.13\00:11:42.60
OF EVERYONE SITTING IN SILENCE,
WATCHING HIM SUFFER AND HE,
00:11:42.60\00:11:46.43
SORT OF, CURSES
THE DAY OF HIS BIRTH.
00:11:46.43\00:11:48.77
AND THEN, ONE OF
HIS FRIENDS RESPONDS.
00:11:48.77\00:11:51.61
JOB - NOW HOW MANY FRIENDS
DOES IT START OUT WITH THAT ARE
00:11:51.61\00:11:54.64
AROUND JOB? >>THREE.
00:11:54.64\00:11:56.24
>>THREE FRIENDS - JOB
AND HIS THREE FRIENDS.
00:11:56.24\00:11:59.18
AND THEN JOB RESPONDS AND THEN
ANOTHER FRIEND RESPONDS AND JOB
00:11:59.18\00:12:03.08
RESPONDS TO THEM AND THEN
ANOTHER FRIEND RESPONDS AND THEN
00:12:03.08\00:12:06.05
JOB RESPONDS AND THEN, YOU KNOW,
FINALLY WHEN YOU GET TO CHAPTERS
00:12:06.05\00:12:11.46
26 TO 31, IT'S ALL JOB
RESPONDING TO HIS FRIENDS
00:12:11.46\00:12:17.60
BASICALLY SAYING, 'WELL, LET'S
FACE IT, JOB, THIS WOULD NEVER
00:12:17.60\00:12:20.20
HAPPEN TO YOU UNLESS YOU HAD
DONE SOMETHING WRONG AND, YOU
00:12:20.20\00:12:23.64
KNOW, THERE'S SOME SECRET SIN IN
YOUR LIFE AND, YOU KNOW, 'FESS
00:12:23.64\00:12:26.47
UP, WHAT IS IT?' AND
HE'S SAYING, 'NO,' - YOU
00:12:26.47\00:12:28.61
KNOW - 'I'M MORE
RIGHTEOUS THAN YOU GUYS.
00:12:28.61\00:12:30.45
IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF ANYTHING
I'VE DONE.' AND THEY GO BACK AND
00:12:30.45\00:12:32.68
FORTH AND THEY SAY, 'COME ON,
NOW, BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO BAD
00:12:32.68\00:12:34.52
PEOPLE. GOD
BLESSES THE GOOD AND CURSES
00:12:34.52\00:12:37.62
THE BAD.' AND HE SAID, 'NO, NOT
ALWAYS.' AND THEY'RE BOTH REALLY
00:12:37.62\00:12:41.42
RIGHT AND THEY KIND OF ARE
EXPLORING THE GREAT THEMES IN
00:12:41.42\00:12:45.26
THE GREAT
CONTROVERSY IN THIS PASSAGE.
00:12:45.26\00:12:47.30
AND SO, HERE - AND THIS IS UNDER
THE SECTION CALLED MISERABLE
00:12:47.30\00:12:51.53
COMFORTERS . THAT'S
QUITE A - ACTUALLY, THE
00:12:51.53\00:12:54.84
PHRASE, IT COMES
FROM THE BOOK OF JOB.
00:12:54.84\00:12:59.24
YOU EVER HEARD PEOPLE SAY
REALLY ODD THINGS AT FUNERALS?
00:12:59.24\00:13:04.78
AND - OR THEY GO TO MAKE
A HOSPITAL VISIT AND THEY'RE
00:13:04.78\00:13:08.85
SUPPOSED TO BE THERE TO COMFORT
AND, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE SAYING
00:13:08.85\00:13:12.52
THINGS LIKE, 'WELL, YOU KNOW, IF
YOU JUST CHANGE YOUR DIET, YOU
00:13:12.52\00:13:15.32
WOULDN'T BE HERE.' WHICH
MAY BE TRUE, BUT IT'S NOT VERY
00:13:15.32\00:13:18.86
COMFORTING. OR, YOU
KNOW, I'VE SEEN PEOPLE
00:13:18.86\00:13:21.93
AT FUNERALS AND THEY JUST - THEY
SAY SOME VERY, VERY ROUGH THINGS
00:13:21.93\00:13:30.67
- MISERABLE
COMFORTERS AT TIMES LIKE THAT.
00:13:30.67\00:13:33.48
YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY, PASTORS
GO TO ABOVE THE AVERAGE NUMBER
00:13:33.48\00:13:37.08
OF FUNERALS AND SO, YOU SEE AND
HEAR SOME INTERESTING THINGS.
00:13:37.08\00:13:39.35
AND, YOU KNOW, AT FUNERALS, I'LL
TELL YOU WHAT REALLY SCARES ME
00:13:39.35\00:13:43.18
IS, YOU KNOW, USUALLY THERE IS -
SOMEONE'LL HAVE A POEM, THERE'S
00:13:43.18\00:13:47.36
A SONG, THERE'LL BE THE EULOGY,
THERE'S A SERMONETTE, AND THEN
00:13:47.36\00:13:50.99
THE FAMILY SAYS, 'WE'D LIKE
TO THEN OPEN THE MICROPHONES AND
00:13:50.99\00:13:56.90
LET PEOPLE - LET
PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, GET UP -
00:13:56.90\00:13:59.13
JUST SHARE THEIR
MEMORIES ABOUT THE PERSON.
00:13:59.13\00:14:02.24
BOY, I TELL YOU, THAT
CAN REALLY GET OUT OF HAND.
00:14:02.24\00:14:06.04
SOMETIMES IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
SOMETIMES IT'S INSPIRING.
00:14:06.04\00:14:08.24
I'VE BEEN TO SOME FUNERALS
BEFORE WHERE I COULD HAVE STAYED
00:14:08.24\00:14:09.94
FOR HOURS AND HEARD ABOUT
THIS PERSON - JUST INSPIRING.
00:14:09.94\00:14:13.38
AND THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN
SOMEONE WILL GET UP AND NO ONE
00:14:13.38\00:14:16.42
KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING AT
THE FUNERAL - THEY'VE NEVER SEEN
00:14:16.42\00:14:18.39
THEM BEFORE - AND THEY START
TO SAY, 'OH YEAH, BILL AND I, WE
00:14:18.39\00:14:21.06
USED TO HAVE THE MOST WONDERFUL
DRINKING PARTIES AND WE'D GO OUT
00:14:21.06\00:14:24.79
AND WE'D DRINK' - AND
EVERYONE'S LOOKING AROUND.
00:14:24.79\00:14:30.23
YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL
ABOUT THAT OPEN MICROPHONE.
00:14:30.23\00:14:32.63
AND SO, YOU HEAR SOME STRANGE
THINGS AT FUNERALS AND WEDDINGS.
00:14:32.63\00:14:39.34
AND I'VE HEARD SOME PEOPLE
COMMENT AS I'M STANDING THERE AT
00:14:39.34\00:14:42.18
THE CASKET, YOU KNOW, AND THE
FAMILIES FILE BY AND YOU HEAR
00:14:42.18\00:14:44.95
PEOPLE SAY THINGS TO THE FAMILY
AND YOU THINK, 'OH, THAT'S GOT
00:14:44.95\00:14:48.55
TO HURT.' AND JOB HAD FRIENDS
THAT ARE THERE WATCHING HIM
00:14:48.55\00:14:53.15
SUFFER AND HE HASN'T DONE - YOU
AND I KNOW, BEHIND THE SCENES,
00:14:53.15\00:14:55.46
THE DEVIL'S ATTACKING HIM.
HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG
00:14:55.46\00:14:57.99
AND HIS FRIENDS ARE JUST
ACCUSING HIM OF TERRIBLE THINGS.
00:14:57.99\00:15:02.16
SO UNDER THIS SECTION MISERABLE
COMFORTERS , IT SORT OF COVERS
00:15:02.16\00:15:06.03
THE - A NUMBER OF VERSES THAT
YOU FIND, OH ALL THE WAY FROM
00:15:06.03\00:15:09.77
JOB 13 UP UNTIL THE
END OF JOB'S SPEECH.
00:15:09.77\00:15:14.84
NOW ONE THING I WANT YOU TO
NOTICE ABOUT THE BOOK OF JOB -
00:15:14.84\00:15:17.35
JOB IS A MAJESTIC BOOK BECAUSE,
DO YOU REALIZE EVERY OTHER BIBLE
00:15:17.35\00:15:22.32
WRITER - NAME A BIBLE WRITER.
LUKE, PAUL, DAVID, MOSES - ANY
00:15:22.32\00:15:29.16
OF THEM - EVERY BIBLE
WRITER COULD READ JOB FIRST.
00:15:29.16\00:15:34.46
SO JOB INFLUENCED EVERY OTHER
BIBLE WRITER BECAUSE THE BOOK
00:15:34.46\00:15:39.57
WAS THERE. AND
YOU'LL FIND QUITE A FEW
00:15:39.57\00:15:42.37
BIBLE WRITERS REFERENCING JOB.
I'LL GET TO SAY A LITTLE MORE
00:15:42.37\00:15:46.54
ABOUT THAT, BUT LET'S
JUST LOOK AT A FEW THINGS.
00:15:46.54\00:15:48.91
FOR INSTANCE, YOU LOOK IN JOB
13:28 - WE'RE GOING TO DO JUST
00:15:48.91\00:15:53.98
SOME HOT SPOTS HERE
FROM THE BOOK OF JOB.
00:15:53.98\00:15:56.55
"MAN DECAYS LIKE A ROTTEN
THING, LIKE A GARMENT THAT IS
00:15:56.55\00:16:00.19
MOTH-EATEN." HERE
IT'S TALKING ABOUT - OR
00:16:00.19\00:16:03.76
'LIKE A GRASS THAT SPRINGS UP
IN THE MORNING AND THEN THE SUN
00:16:03.76\00:16:06.06
SCORCHES IT AND ALL OUR DAYS ARE
LIKE A SHADOW' AND YOU FIND THAT
00:16:06.06\00:16:08.93
PRINCIPLE REPEATED SEVERAL
TIMES THROUGH THE BOOK OF JOB.
00:16:08.93\00:16:12.70
YOU CAN LOOK - AND YOU FIND A
LOT OF MAJOR DOCTRINES ARE FIRST
00:16:12.70\00:16:16.50
IN JOB. IF
EVANGELISTS COULD NOT USE THE
00:16:16.50\00:16:19.47
BOOK OF JOB, WE'D BE HANDICAPPED
BECAUSE A LOT OF THE PROOF TEXTS
00:16:19.47\00:16:24.31
FOR VARIOUS DOCTRINES ARE
FIRST FOUND IN THE BOOK OF JOB.
00:16:24.31\00:16:28.05
LOOK, FOR INSTANCE, IN JOB
CHAPTER 14. YOU CAN GO THERE
00:16:28.05\00:16:30.99
WITH ME - JOB 14, VERSES 10
THROUGH 12 - THIS IS ONE THAT
00:16:30.99\00:16:35.06
KIND OF DEALS WITH THE STATE OF
THE DEAD: "BUT MAN DIES AND IS
00:16:35.06\00:16:39.96
LAID AWAY; INDEED HE BREATHES
HIS LAST AND WHERE IS HE?
00:16:39.96\00:16:44.10
AS WATER DISAPPEARS FROM THE SEA
AND A RIVER BECOMES PARCHED AND
00:16:44.10\00:16:48.14
DRIES UP, SO MAN LIES
DOWN AND DOES NOT RISE."
00:16:48.14\00:16:51.84
- AND, BY THE WAY, WHEN THEY
SAID, 'WATER DISAPPEARS FROM THE
00:16:51.84\00:16:53.64
SEA' YOU MIGHT THINK, 'AH
THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN.'
00:16:53.64\00:16:56.75
THEY'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT
LIKE THE MEDITERRANEAN OR THE
00:16:56.75\00:16:59.28
ATLANTIC OR THE ARABIAN SEA, JOB
LIVED IN THE AREA WHERE THEY HAD
00:16:59.28\00:17:03.28
GREAT SALT FLATS AND
THERE WOULD BE A SEA OF WATER.
00:17:03.28\00:17:06.39
IF YOU LIVE IN NEVADA YOU KNOW
THEY'VE GOT LIKE MASSACRE LAKE
00:17:06.39\00:17:08.69
AND THESE DIFFERENT PLACES - A
SEA THAT APPEARS WHEN THERE'S A
00:17:08.69\00:17:11.73
LOT OF RAIN, AND
THEN IT DRIES UP.
00:17:11.73\00:17:13.66
AND "THE WATER DISAPPEARS
FROM THE SEA AND A RIVER BECOMES
00:17:13.66\00:17:18.83
PARCHED AND DRIES UP, SO MAN
LIES DOWN AND DOES NOT RISE TILL
00:17:18.83\00:17:23.57
THE HEAVENS ARE NO
MORE," WHEN IS THAT?
00:17:23.57\00:17:25.97
WHEN JESUS COMES AND THE
HEAVENS DEPART AS A SCROLL.
00:17:25.97\00:17:29.64
"THEY WILL NOT AWAKE NOR
BE ROUSED FROM THEIR SLEEP."
00:17:29.64\00:17:32.21
WHAT IS THE
STATE OF MAN IN DEATH?
00:17:32.21\00:17:34.38
HE'S ASLEEP UNTIL THE HEAVENS
ARE NO MORE, TILL THE SECOND
00:17:34.38\00:17:37.62
COMING AND HE RISES. YOU
CAN LOOK, ALSO, IN JOB 13,
00:17:37.62\00:17:42.59
VERSE 15 - WE'VE GOT THAT FAMOUS
VERSE: "THOUGH" - AND IT'S BEEN
00:17:42.59\00:17:45.79
QUOTED SEVERAL TIMES, "THOUGH HE
SLAY ME, YET WILL I TRUST HIM."
00:17:45.79\00:17:49.30
TALKING ABOUT THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS
BY FAITH PRINCIPLE.
00:17:49.30\00:17:53.47
YOU CAN LOOK IN JOB 19 - GO
THERE REAL QUICK - VERSE 25 -
00:17:53.47\00:17:59.47
NOW SOMEONE HERE IS GOING
TO READ - I'VE GOT SOME VERSES
00:17:59.47\00:18:01.48
LINED UP - HAFDIS,
YOU'LL BE READING, IS IT 28:28?
00:18:01.48\00:18:05.15
ALRIGHT JUST A MOMENT WE'LL HAVE
YOU - JOB 19:25, "FOR I KNOW
00:18:05.15\00:18:09.38
THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES, AND
HE SHALL STAND AT LAST ON THE
00:18:09.38\00:18:12.35
EARTH;" - SO HE SAYS, 'MY
REDEEMER WILL STAND ON THE
00:18:12.35\00:18:15.29
EARTH.' IT TALKS ABOUT AT THE
END OF THE 1,000 YEARS THE NEW
00:18:15.29\00:18:19.46
JERUSALEM COMES DOWN AND THE
MESSIAH'S FEET TOUCH THE MOUNT
00:18:19.46\00:18:23.26
OF OLIVES, NOT TO MENTION THE
FIRST COMING OF JESUS WHEN HE
00:18:23.26\00:18:26.80
LIVED ON THE EARTH. "HE
SHALL STAND AT LAST ON THE
00:18:26.80\00:18:30.31
EARTH; AND AFTER MY SKIN IS
DESTROYED, THIS I KNOW, THAT IN
00:18:30.31\00:18:33.04
MY FLESH" - OBVIOUSLY, IF HIS
FLESH IS DESTROYED, IT MUST BE
00:18:33.04\00:18:36.11
HIS FLESH MADE NEW - THE
NEW BODY - "I SHALL SEE GOD."
00:18:36.11\00:18:40.05
- IT SAYS WE WILL SEE HIM FACE
TO FACE "WHOM I SHALL SEE FOR
00:18:40.05\00:18:43.18
MYSELF, AND MY EYES
SHALL BEHOLD, AND NOT ANOTHER.
00:18:43.18\00:18:45.85
HOW MY HEART YEARNS WITHIN
ME!" SO THERE'S SEVERAL BIBLICAL
00:18:45.85\00:18:49.19
TRUTHS THAT ARE ALL PACKED INTO
THAT ONE VERSE THAT YOU FIND
00:18:49.19\00:18:52.79
LATER REPEATED BY
OTHER BIBLE WRITERS.
00:18:52.79\00:18:55.66
GO AHEAD, PLEASE,
READ FOR US JOB 28:28.
00:18:55.66\00:18:59.50
>>"AND TO MAN HE SAID, 'BEHOLD,
THE FEAR OF THE LORD, THAT IS
00:18:59.50\00:19:04.31
WISDOM, AND TO DEPART
FROM EVIL IS UNDERSTANDING.'"
00:19:04.31\00:19:09.01
>>NOW I CAN'T COUNT HOW MANY
TIMES YOU'LL FIND THAT IN THE
00:19:09.01\00:19:11.51
BIBLE - IN THE NEW AND THE OLD
TESTAMENT. HERE'S A FEW EXAMPLES
00:19:11.51\00:19:14.88
FOR THAT: KING DAVID READ THE
BOOK OF JOB AND DAVID WROTE, IN
00:19:14.88\00:19:18.79
PSALM 111:10, "THE FEAR OF
THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF
00:19:18.79\00:19:21.99
WISDOM." THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?
"A GOOD UNDERSTANDING HAVE ALL
00:19:21.99\00:19:25.56
THOSE WHO DO HIS COMMANDMENTS."
THEN YOU HAVE SOLOMON - SOLOMON
00:19:25.56\00:19:28.86
HAD THE BENEFIT OF NOT
ONLY READING THE BOOK OF JOB, HE
00:19:28.86\00:19:31.20
COULD READ THE
WRITINGS OF HIS FATHER DAVID.
00:19:31.20\00:19:33.90
AND SOLOMON WROTE: "THE FEAR
OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF
00:19:33.90\00:19:36.47
KNOWLEDGE, BUT FOOLS DESPISE
WISDOM AND INSTRUCTION" - AND I
00:19:36.47\00:19:39.64
COULD QUOTE YOU, PROBABLY
FIVE OTHER VERSES FROM THE BIBLE
00:19:39.64\00:19:43.21
WHERE THEY QUOTE THAT
STATEMENT FROM THE BOOK OF JOB.
00:19:43.21\00:19:46.11
NOW, THE LESSON IS REALLY ABOUT
- IT'S CALLED THE WRATH OF ELIHU
00:19:46.11\00:19:50.89
AND I ALMOST THINK THE LESSON
COULD BE A MISNOMER BECAUSE THE
00:19:50.89\00:19:54.12
WORD TRANSLATED 'WRATH' THERE,
COULD ALSO BE TRANSLATED 'THE
00:19:54.12\00:19:58.33
EXCITEMENT; THE AGITATION'
AND IT'S NOT AS THOUGH ELIHU IS
00:19:58.33\00:20:04.53
ANGRY AND HE'S GOING TO START
LASHING OUT AND HITTING PEOPLE,
00:20:04.53\00:20:07.50
IT'S TALKING ABOUT HIS
INDIGNATION - HIS FRUSTRATION.
00:20:07.50\00:20:11.04
HE'S EXCITED TO ANSWER. YOU EVER
LISTEN TO A DIALOGUE AND YOU'RE
00:20:11.04\00:20:16.78
WAITING FOR YOUR TURN TO
RESPOND AND YOU GET MORE AND
00:20:16.78\00:20:18.81
MORE EXCITED AND EVEN UPSET AT
THINGS THAT ARE BEING SAID THAT
00:20:18.81\00:20:22.05
MAY NOT BE TRUE? AND SO, THIS IS
WHAT'S HAPPENING. ELIHU HAS SAT
00:20:22.05\00:20:26.65
THERE AND HE'S SOMETHING OF
A MYSTERY. WELL, TELL YOU WHAT,
00:20:26.65\00:20:30.19
LET'S READ IT. GO TO JOB 32
- WE'RE GOING TO READ VERSES
00:20:30.19\00:20:34.20
1 TO 4. "SO THESE THREE
MEN CEASED ANSWERING JOB," -
00:20:34.20\00:20:42.87
MATTER OF FACT, VERSES 26
THROUGH 31 IS ONE LONG RESPONSE
00:20:42.87\00:20:48.71
OF JOB; AND WHEN YOU GET
TO THE END OF CHAPTER 31,
00:20:48.71\00:20:52.45
IT MAKES AN INTERESTING
STATEMENT IN VERSE 40 - IF YOU
00:20:52.45\00:20:55.12
LOOK AT JOB 31:40 IT
SAYS, "THE WORDS OF JOB ARE
00:20:55.12\00:20:58.52
ENDED." THERE'S NO MORE
DIALOGUE. NOW HOW MANY BOOK -
00:20:58.52\00:21:01.72
HOW MANY CHAPTERS
IN THE BOOK OF JOB?
00:21:01.72\00:21:03.93
>>42. >>42. AND
WHEN YOU GET TO THE
00:21:03.93\00:21:06.70
END OF CHAPTER 31,
JOB'S DONE TALKING.
00:21:06.70\00:21:10.67
SO THERE'S A WHOLE LOT MORE LEFT
IN THESE OTHER TEN CHAPTERS, BUT
00:21:10.67\00:21:13.90
JOB IS DONE WITH HIS DIALOGUE
OF DEFENSE, I SHOULD SAY.
00:21:13.90\00:21:19.34
IT SAYS, "THE
WORDS OF JOB ARE ENDED."
00:21:19.34\00:21:21.58
SO WHEN THEY'VE ALL GROWN SILENT
- JOB'S TALKED, HIS FRIENDS HAVE
00:21:21.58\00:21:24.25
TALKED, THEY'VE TAKEN TURNS,
THEY'VE GONE AROUND, THEY'VE
00:21:24.25\00:21:26.48
COVERED THESE ISSUES OF WHY DO
THE GOOD PROSPER AND WHY DO THE
00:21:26.48\00:21:31.69
- WHY DO THE BAD PROSPER
AND WHY DO THE GOOD SUFFER?
00:21:31.69\00:21:34.42
AND JOB, AFTER HIS
FINAL SEVERAL-CHAPTER ELOQUENT
00:21:34.42\00:21:41.50
PROFOUND DEFENSE, THEY ALL SIT
THERE AND STARE AT EACH OTHER.
00:21:41.50\00:21:47.27
NOW, EVIDENTLY, THERE WAS
SOMEONE ELSE SITTING THERE.
00:21:47.27\00:21:49.80
IN FACT, IT COULD BE THAT OTHERS
FROM THE TOWN HAD GATHERED AND
00:21:49.80\00:21:53.31
THERE'S AN AUDIENCE
LISTENING AS THESE ELDERS SPEAK.
00:21:53.31\00:21:57.75
NOW, IN AMERICA, WE HAVE A VERY
DIFFERENT CULTURE WHEN IT COMES
00:21:57.75\00:22:02.85
TO CONVERSATION. IN
MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD WHERE
00:22:02.85\00:22:06.76
I'VE BEEN, I'VE OBSERVED - YOU
KNOW, THEY BROUGHT ME IN TO MEET
00:22:06.76\00:22:10.06
WITH THE ELDERS OF THE CHURCH
OR PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY.
00:22:10.06\00:22:12.83
I'VE GONE TO MEET PRESIDENTS AND
VICE PRESIDENTS OF COUNTRIES AND
00:22:12.83\00:22:15.80
I ACTUALLY WAS IN AFRICA ONCE,
VISITING THE VICE PRESIDENT OF
00:22:15.80\00:22:18.63
CAMEROON AND THE SECRETARY SAID,
KNOWING WE'RE AMERICANS THEY
00:22:18.63\00:22:24.41
SAID, 'NOW, IN AFRICA, WHEN YOU
COME IN AND YOU MEET THE VICE
00:22:24.41\00:22:27.71
PRESIDENT, YOU'LL SIT
DOWN WHEN HE SITS DOWN.
00:22:27.71\00:22:30.78
THEN HE WILL SPEAK. YOU
DON'T SPEAK UNTIL HE IS DONE
00:22:30.78\00:22:34.62
SPEAKING.' AND
THAT, REALLY, IS A RULE
00:22:34.62\00:22:38.72
IN MANY CULTURES OF THE
WORLD - IS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO
00:22:38.72\00:22:42.39
HAVE THE PROMINENT POSITION, OR
THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE POSITION
00:22:42.39\00:22:46.39
OF AUTHORITY OR AGE, YOU LET
THEM SPEAK AND ALL THE OTHERS
00:22:46.39\00:22:51.67
YOU KEEP SILENT. DON'T SPEAK.
00:22:51.67\00:22:53.77
ANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE OLD
ADAGE 'CHILDREN ARE TO BE SEEN
00:22:53.77\00:22:56.44
AND NOT HEARD? ANYONE
REMEMBER HEARING THAT?
00:22:56.44\00:23:00.91
AND WHEN, YOU KNOW, THE ELDERS
WERE SITTING AROUND IN THE ROOM
00:23:00.91\00:23:03.41
TALKING, KIDS WERE NOT ALLOWED
TO INTERRUPT AND PIPE IN.
00:23:03.41\00:23:06.38
THEY'D SAY, 'SHHH, THAT'S
RUDE. THE ELDERS ARE SPEAKING.
00:23:06.38\00:23:09.92
YOU LISTEN. YOU
MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING.
00:23:09.92\00:23:12.42
DON'T TALK. HOW
MUCH DO YOU KNOW?
00:23:12.42\00:23:13.66
YOU'RE EIGHT YEARS OLD.' AND,
YOU KNOW, AND SO THAT WAS THE
00:23:13.66\00:23:17.06
ATTITUDE IN THE EAST.
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN TO
00:23:17.06\00:23:19.49
COUNTRIES YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?
00:23:19.49\00:23:21.83
IT WAS VERY MUCH THAT WAY, THAT
YOU SAT AND YOU LET THE ELDERS
00:23:21.83\00:23:25.63
SPEAK. NOW THESE
ARE GREAT MEN OF THE
00:23:25.63\00:23:27.47
EAST. JOB IS THE
GREATEST MAN OF THE
00:23:27.47\00:23:29.07
EAST, AND HIS THREE FRIENDS,
THEY ARE GREAT MEN - LEADERS OF
00:23:29.07\00:23:34.11
OTHER TRIBES, AND THEY'RE HAVING
THIS GREAT DEBATE AND THEY'RE
00:23:34.11\00:23:37.15
TALKING ABOUT THESE PROFOUND
THEMES AND THERE MAY HAVE BEEN
00:23:37.15\00:23:39.35
OTHER PEOPLE FROM THE
TOWN SITTING AROUND LISTENING.
00:23:39.35\00:23:41.68
ANOTHER YOUNGER MAN, BUT ALSO AN
ELDER, BUT HE'S SITTING AND HE'S
00:23:41.68\00:23:47.16
LISTENING - HIS NAME IS ELIHU -
HE'S NEVER MENTIONED UNTIL NOW,
00:23:47.16\00:23:51.19
AND HE'S NOT MENTIONED LATER, SO
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT JOB AND HIS
00:23:51.19\00:23:53.40
THREE FRIENDS, THERE
WAS THIS OTHER CHARACTER.
00:23:53.40\00:23:56.80
AND YOU READ IN CHAPTER 32,
VERSE 1, "SO THESE THREE MEN
00:23:56.80\00:24:01.27
CEASED ANSWERING JOB, BECAUSE HE
WAS RIGHTEOUS IN HIS OWN EYES."
00:24:01.27\00:24:05.17
NOW, WAS JOB WRONG TO BE
RIGHTEOUS IN HIS OWN EYES?
00:24:05.17\00:24:09.91
OR DID GOD LATER SAY - IT'S
INTERESTING, GOD SAYS TO JOB,
00:24:09.91\00:24:13.42
'DO YOU REALLY
THINK YOU'RE RIGHTEOUS?'
00:24:13.42\00:24:15.22
AND JOB IS SORT OF REBUKED
BY THE LORD, BUT THEN LATER, GOD
00:24:15.22\00:24:18.25
TELLS HIS FRIENDS, 'JOB SPOKE
WHAT WAS RIGHT AND YOU DID NOT.'
00:24:18.25\00:24:23.26
SO JOB IS A TYPE OF
CHRIST AND HE WAS RIGHTEOUS.
00:24:23.26\00:24:25.39
HE WAS A GODLY MAN.
HOW'S THE BOOK BEGIN?
00:24:25.39\00:24:27.86
HE LOVED GOOD AND HATED EVIL.
THERE WAS NO MAN LIKE HIM -
00:24:27.86\00:24:31.17
A PERFECT AND UPRIGHT
MAN. SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE
00:24:31.17\00:24:33.40
TESTIMONY OF THE BOOK.
BUT, YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS
00:24:33.40\00:24:36.91
STRUGGLE WITH THE IDEA
OF SOMEONE WHO'S RIGHTEOUS
00:24:36.91\00:24:38.37
THAT KNOWS IT. HAVE
YOU EVER WONDERED HOW
00:24:38.37\00:24:42.18
PERFECT YOU HAVE
TO BE TO BE SAVED?
00:24:42.18\00:24:44.68
AND HOW PERFECT WILL
WE BE IN THE LAST DAYS?
00:24:44.68\00:24:47.12
IF YOU GET TO THE PLACE WHERE
YOU'RE AWARE OF YOUR PERFECTION,
00:24:47.12\00:24:49.42
YOU HAVEN'T REACHED IT YET.
AUTOMATICALLY YOU'RE PROBABLY
00:24:49.42\00:24:54.46
DISQUALIFIED IF YOU THINK,
'I THINK I'M PERFECT NOW.' BUT
00:24:54.46\00:24:59.43
JOB, HE'S AN EXCEPTION HERE.
ALRIGHT, "SO THESE MEN CEASED
00:24:59.43\00:25:03.03
ANSWERING JOB, BECAUSE HE
WAS RIGHTEOUS IN HIS OWN EYES.
00:25:03.03\00:25:06.84
THEN THE WRATH - THE AGITATION
- OF ELIHU, THE SON OF BARACHEL
00:25:06.84\00:25:11.84
THE BUZITE, OF THE FAMILY OF
RAM, WAS AROUSED AGAINST JOB;
00:25:11.84\00:25:17.25
HIS WRATH WAS AROUSED BECAUSE
HE JUSTIFIED HIMSELF RATHER THAN
00:25:17.25\00:25:20.58
GOD. ALSO AGAINST
HIS THREE FRIENDS"
00:25:20.58\00:25:23.22
- SO HE'S NOT ONLY UPSET WITH
JOB JUSTIFYING HIMSELF, HE'S
00:25:23.22\00:25:26.72
ALSO UPSET WITH HIS FRIENDS -
"WAS AROUSED, BECAUSE THEY HAD
00:25:26.72\00:25:30.26
FOUND NO ANSWER, AND
YET HAD CONDEMNED JOB.
00:25:30.26\00:25:33.66
NOW BECAUSE THEY WERE YEARS
OLDER THAN HE, ELIHU HAD WAITED
00:25:33.66\00:25:38.00
TO SPEAK..." - NOW
THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT
00:25:38.00\00:25:40.64
POINT AND YOU CAN READ HERE,
IF YOU GO DOWN TO VERSE 6 -
00:25:40.64\00:25:48.41
OH, WAIT, YOU KNOW WHAT?
LET ME JUST EXPLAIN SOMETHING
00:25:48.41\00:25:50.31
HERE - AND THIS WOULD BE
UNDER THE SECTION ELIHU'S
00:25:50.31\00:25:54.82
DEFENSE OF GOD . NOW,
DO WE NEED TO DEFEND GOD?
00:25:54.82\00:26:00.72
I THINK THAT - WELL, YOU WANT TO
SPEAK IN THE DEFENSE OF TRUTH,
00:26:00.72\00:26:04.19
BUT I REMEMBER THAT KING HENRY
THE VIII LIVED DURING THE TIME
00:26:04.19\00:26:09.50
WHEN THEY ACTUALLY HAD COURT
JESTERS - YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT
00:26:09.50\00:26:12.70
COURT JESTERS - YOU KNOW,
THEY'VE ALWAYS GOT THEM DRESSED
00:26:12.70\00:26:15.00
UP LIKE CLOWNS, BUT I DON'T KNOW
IF THAT'S THE CASE, BUT IT IS
00:26:15.00\00:26:18.77
TRUE THAT SOME OF THE MONARCHS
HAD FRIENDS IN THE COURT AND
00:26:18.77\00:26:22.31
THEY HAD THEM THERE BECAUSE
OF THEIR GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR TO
00:26:22.31\00:26:24.58
ALWAYS CHEER UP THE KING.
YOU DON'T WANT THE KING SAD.
00:26:24.58\00:26:28.38
BAD THINGS HAPPEN
WHEN THE KING IS UNHAPPY.
00:26:28.38\00:26:30.69
AND SO, HENRY VIII HAD THIS
COURT JESTER, BUT HE WAS, YOU
00:26:30.69\00:26:34.12
KNOW, A PRETTY SHREWD FELLOW AND
HENRY VIII RECEIVED A MEDAL BACK
00:26:34.12\00:26:38.76
THEN, BEFORE THE CHURCH
SPLIT FROM ROME - THE CHURCH OF
00:26:38.76\00:26:40.96
ENGLAND SPLIT FROM ROME.
THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND WAS PART
00:26:40.96\00:26:44.30
OF ROME IN THE BEGINNING OF KING
HENRY VIII BUT WHEN THEY WOULD
00:26:44.30\00:26:48.40
NOT APPROVE HIS FINAL
DIVORCE, THERE WAS A SPLIT.
00:26:48.40\00:26:52.04
WELL, UP UNTIL THAT TIME THE
CHURCH WAS VERY HAPPY WITH KING
00:26:52.04\00:26:54.58
HENRY AND THEY GAVE HIM A
MEDAL AND THEY CALLED HIM 'THE
00:26:54.58\00:26:57.65
DEFENDER OF THE TRUTH' AND THIS
AWARD WAS MADE BY THE CATHOLIC
00:26:57.65\00:27:02.35
CHURCH. THEY
BROUGHT IT IN WITH ALL THIS
00:27:02.35\00:27:03.59
POMP AND SAID, 'YOUR MAJESTY,
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS DECLARED
00:27:03.59\00:27:09.72
YOU THE DEFENDER OF THE TRUTH.'
AND THE COURT JESTER SAID, 'GOOD
00:27:09.72\00:27:13.16
KING HENRY,' - HE SAID - 'I WILL
DEFEND YOU AND YOU DEFEND ME
00:27:13.16\00:27:16.43
BUT, BELIEVE ME, THE
TRUTH WITH DEFEND ITSELF.'
00:27:16.43\00:27:20.24
AND SO, GOD DOESN'T
REALLY NEED US TO DEFEND HIM.
00:27:20.24\00:27:23.64
IT'S NOT LIKE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE
ARE GOING TO BULLY GOD AND
00:27:23.64\00:27:26.27
YOU'RE GOING TO
STICK UP FOR HIM.
00:27:26.27\00:27:27.88
BECAUSE GOD IS WELL
ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF.
00:27:27.88\00:27:31.25
YOU KNOW, THERE'S TIMES YOU WANT
TO STAND UP FOR TRUTH - AND THIS
00:27:31.25\00:27:33.58
IS WHAT IS HAPPENING
WITH - WITH ELIHU HERE.
00:27:33.58\00:27:37.72
SO WHO IS HE? IT TELLS
US THAT HE IS A BUZITE.
00:27:37.72\00:27:42.26
GO - IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES,
DON'T LOST YOUR PAGE IN JOB, BUT
00:27:42.26\00:27:44.73
GO TO GENESIS 22, VERSE 20.
AND IT SAYS, "NOW IT CAME TO
00:27:44.73\00:27:51.53
PASS AFTER THESE THINGS THAT
IT WAS TOLD ABRAHAM, SAYING,
00:27:51.53\00:27:54.27
'INDEED MILCAH ALSO HAS BORNE
CHILDREN TO YOUR BROTHER NAHOR:
00:27:54.27\00:27:59.31
HUZ HIS FIRSTBORN, BUZ HIS
BROTHER," - HOW'D YOU LIKE TO
00:27:59.31\00:28:03.95
HAVE A COUPLE OF KIDS
NAMED HUZ AND BUZ? (LAUGHTER)
00:28:03.95\00:28:07.08
I MEAN, I GET MIXED UP WITH MY
KIDS. I CALL DANIEL NATHAN AND
00:28:07.08\00:28:10.12
NATHAN DANIEL. YEAH,
I NEVER GET THE BOYS AND
00:28:10.12\00:28:11.79
THE GIRLS MIXED UP, BUT
I GET THE BOYS MIXED UP.
00:28:11.79\00:28:14.36
AND THEIR NAMES DON'T REALLY
SOUND THAT ALIKE, BUT IF YOU'VE
00:28:14.36\00:28:16.76
GOT A HUZ AND A BUZ AND YOU'RE
MAD AND YOU WANT TO CALL ONE OF
00:28:16.76\00:28:19.36
THEM, YOU'RE GOING TO GO, 'HUZ
- BUZ - BUZ - HUZ - HUZ - BUZ' -
00:28:19.36\00:28:21.53
YOU'RE GOING TO
GET ALL MIXED UP.
00:28:21.53\00:28:23.97
I REMEMBER WHEN I LIVED ON
THE NAVAJO RESERVATION, THIS ONE
00:28:23.97\00:28:27.64
FAMILY HAD THREE BOYS THEY NAMED
EDWARD, EDWIN, AND EDUARDO -
00:28:27.64\00:28:34.61
SOMETHING LIKE THAT - THREE EDS.
AND I THOUGHT, 'BOY, THAT'S GOT
00:28:34.61\00:28:39.18
TO GET CONFUSING WHEN
YOU'RE CALLING THEM.' ANYWAY -
00:28:39.18\00:28:43.22
>>JOB WAS IN THE LAND OF UZ.
>>WELL, YEAH, UZ AND BUZ AND HUZ
00:28:43.22\00:28:46.55
- IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?
NO, THIS IS ACTUALLY A DIFFERENT
00:28:46.55\00:28:48.52
PLACE - "HUZ HIS FIRSTBORN, BUZ
HIS BROTHER, KEMUEL THE FATHER
00:28:48.52\00:28:54.00
OF ARAM," AND SO ELIHU IS
RELATED TO ABRAHAM. AND SO,
00:28:54.00\00:29:01.34
EVERYBODY, WE'VE LEARNED, SO FAR
IS RELATED TO ABRAHAM AND ESAU.
00:29:01.34\00:29:06.14
THE NAME ELIHU MEANS 'HE IS
MY GOD' OR 'HE IS GOD HIMSELF'.
00:29:06.14\00:29:12.11
WHENEVER YOU SEE THE NAME 'EL'
IN THE ANCIENT ARAMAIC, THAT
00:29:12.11\00:29:15.78
MEANS 'GOD' - THAT'S WHERE
YOU GET THE WORD 'ELOHIM' - LIKE
00:29:15.78\00:29:19.02
RACH EL , MICHA EL , EL IEZER,
EL IJAH, EL ISHA - EL ALWAYS WAS
00:29:19.02\00:29:23.93
- GOD WAS PART OF THEIR NAME IN
THERE, SO YOU WOULD FIND THAT A
00:29:23.93\00:29:26.83
LOT AT THE BEGINNING OR THE END
OF A NAME. AND SO, YOU CAN READ,
00:29:26.83\00:29:33.03
NOW, SOME OF THE STATEMENTS HE
SAYS IN VERSE 34:15, "THEREFORE
00:29:33.03\00:29:37.67
LISTEN TO ME, YOU MEN OF
UNDERSTANDING: FAR BE IT FROM
00:29:37.67\00:29:42.48
GOD TO DO WICKEDNESS, AND FROM
THE ALMIGHTY TO COMMIT INIQUITY.
00:29:42.48\00:29:46.85
FOR HE REPAYS MAN ACCORDING TO
HIS WORK, AND MAKES MAN TO FIND
00:29:46.85\00:29:50.72
A REWARD ACCORDING TO HIS
WAY. SURELY GOD WILL NEVER DO
00:29:50.72\00:29:54.42
WICKEDLY, NOR WILL THE
ALMIGHTY PERVERT JUSTICE.
00:29:54.42\00:29:57.99
WHO GAVE HIM
CHARGE OVER THE EARTH?
00:29:57.99\00:30:00.43
OR WHO APPOINTED HIM
OVER THE WHOLE WORLD?
00:30:00.43\00:30:02.70
IF HE SHOULD SET HIS HEART
ON IT, IF HE SHOULD GATHER TO
00:30:02.70\00:30:05.43
HIMSELF HIS SPIRIT AND HIS
BREATH, ALL FLESH WOULD PERISH
00:30:05.43\00:30:09.17
TOGETHER," - NOT JUST MAN, ALL
FLESH. IF GOD SHOULD RECALL -
00:30:09.17\00:30:14.44
YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT AUTO
RECALLS, SOME PRODUCT RECALLS?
00:30:14.44\00:30:19.51
IT'S PRETTY SERIOUS WHEN
YOU'VE GOT, LIKE, A BABY PRODUCT
00:30:19.51\00:30:21.48
RECALL, BUT WHAT IF GOD
SHOULD RECALL HIS SPIRIT?
00:30:21.48\00:30:27.06
IS WHAT ELIHU IS SAYING -
ALL FLESH - NOT JUST PEOPLE -
00:30:27.06\00:30:29.79
ANIMALS - ALL FLESH WOULD PERISH
TOGETHER - "AND MAN WOULD RETURN
00:30:29.79\00:30:33.60
TO DUST." THAT'S
SIMILAR TO WHAT SOLOMON
00:30:33.60\00:30:37.00
SAYS, 'THE SPIRIT RETURNS
TO GOD WHO GAVE IT AND THE BODY
00:30:37.00\00:30:40.44
RETURNS TO THE DUST. AND
SO YOU WONDER IF SOLOMON WAS
00:30:40.44\00:30:43.20
THINKING ABOUT THIS VERSE
AND QUOTING FROM ELIHU HERE.
00:30:43.20\00:30:46.11
NOW, HE HAS TO SPEAK.
HE'S GOT ALL THESE THOUGHTS HE
00:30:46.11\00:30:50.01
WANTS TO SHARE AND HE SHARES
QUITE A BIT BECAUSE ELIHU,
00:30:50.01\00:30:53.08
NOW, TALKS FOR FIVE CHAPTERS.
THIS YOUNG MAN WHO APPEARS OUT
00:30:53.08\00:30:57.72
OF NOWHERE - AND SOME
OF THE SCHOLARS THINK, 'WHO
00:30:57.72\00:31:01.36
WROTE THE BOOK OF JOB?'
IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S NOT JOB,
00:31:01.36\00:31:04.76
BECAUSE IT'S BEING WRITTEN ABOUT
HIM, AND THEY'VE OFTEN THOUGHT,
00:31:04.76\00:31:07.76
WELL, MAYBE IT WAS ELIHU, WHO'S
SITTING, LISTENING TO THIS AND
00:31:07.76\00:31:11.17
HE FINALLY
INSERTS HIMSELF AS A HERO.
00:31:11.17\00:31:13.80
HE WRITES AS THOUGH IT'S ALL
ABOUT JOB AND HIS THREE FRIENDS
00:31:13.80\00:31:15.70
BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO
PUT HIMSELF IN THAT CAMP, BUT HE
00:31:15.70\00:31:19.11
COULD HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN
THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK, WE DON'T
00:31:19.11\00:31:21.44
KNOW. THAT'S JUST ONE THEORY.
00:31:21.44\00:31:23.51
BUT HE SAYS - IF YOU GO TO
CHAPTER 32, VERSE 18 - HE SAYS,
00:31:23.51\00:31:31.22
"FOR I AM FULL OF WORDS;
THE SPIRIT WITHIN ME COMPELS ME.
00:31:31.22\00:31:35.59
INDEED MY BELLY IS LIKE WINE
THAT HAS NO VENT;" - YOU KNOW,
00:31:35.59\00:31:39.09
WHEN WINE SAT IN THE
SKIN IT BEGAN TO EXPAND.
00:31:39.09\00:31:41.53
JESUS TALKS ABOUT IF YOU PUT
NEW WINE IN OLD WINESKINS, THE
00:31:41.53\00:31:45.07
FERMENTATION IN THE OLD
WINESKINS WILL BEGIN TO ACTIVATE
00:31:45.07\00:31:49.50
THE YEAST IN THE GRAPE JUICE
AND IT'LL START TO EXPAND AND -
00:31:49.50\00:31:54.81
"...LIKE NEW WINESKINS. I
WILL SPEAK, THAT I MAY FIND
00:31:54.81\00:31:58.48
RELIEF;" - YOU EVER - YOU
EVER HEARD SOMEONE SAY, 'LET
00:31:58.48\00:32:00.68
ME JUST TALK AND VENT'?
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE'S SAYING
00:32:00.68\00:32:05.09
- 'IF I DON'T
SPEAK - I'VE GOT TO VENT.
00:32:05.09\00:32:07.26
I'VE BEEN LISTENING NOW
FOR 31 CHAPTERS TO YOU GUYS.
00:32:07.26\00:32:12.23
I'VE GOT TO SAY SOMETHING
NOW.' - "I MUST OPEN MY LIPS AND
00:32:12.23\00:32:15.86
ANSWER." AND THEN
HE GOES INTO IT, BUT HE
00:32:15.86\00:32:20.30
SAYS, 'I'VE WAITED BECAUSE YOU
WERE MY ELDERS, BUT NOW, YOU'RE
00:32:20.30\00:32:24.61
QUIET, CAN I HAVE A TURN?
I JUST CAN'T HOLD IN ANYMORE.
00:32:24.61\00:32:28.58
SO HE'S NOT ANGRY AS MUCH AS
HE JUST FEELS LIKE YOU'RE ALL
00:32:28.58\00:32:31.55
MISSING
SOMETHING HERE ABOUT GOD.
00:32:31.55\00:32:34.65
AND IT'S INTERESTING THAT LATER,
WHEN THE LORD TALKS TO JOB - AND
00:32:34.65\00:32:39.02
I KNOW, WE'LL PROBABLY COVER
THIS LATER, BUT I HAVE TO SAY IT
00:32:39.02\00:32:41.19
NOW ALSO - AND JOB OFFERED
SACRIFICES AS YOUR THREE FRIENDS
00:32:41.19\00:32:45.53
DID NOT SAY WHAT WAS RIGHT, I
WANT YOU TO OFFER SACRIFICE FOR
00:32:45.53\00:32:48.46
THEM, BUT GOD NEVER SAYS
ELIHU SAID WHAT WAS WRONG.
00:32:48.46\00:32:52.63
GOD NEVER COMMENTS
ON ELIHU'S COMMENTS.
00:32:52.63\00:32:56.07
SO HE'S REALLY A MYSTERIOUS
PERSON WHO SORT OF JUST APPEARS
00:32:56.07\00:32:59.01
OUT OF NOWHERE IN THE
BOOK. HE TALKS FOR FIVE
00:32:59.01\00:33:01.98
CHAPTERS - DISAPPEARS.
NO OTHER COMMENT IS MADE IN
00:33:01.98\00:33:04.65
THE POSTLUDE ABOUT
ELIHU. AND SO, THEN YOU READ HIS
00:33:04.65\00:33:11.75
DISCOURSE AND SOME OF THE
STATEMENTS YOU FIND ARE QUOTED
00:33:11.75\00:33:14.36
BY OTHER BIBLE WRITERS
EVEN IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:33:14.36\00:33:17.76
AND, BY THE WAY, YOU
EVER REMEMBER WHERE PAUL SAID,
00:33:17.76\00:33:19.69
'WOE UNTO ME IF I
PREACH NOT CHRIST'?
00:33:19.69\00:33:22.60
PAUL SAID, 'I'VE GOT THE GOSPEL
INSIDE AND I JUST FEEL LIKE I'M
00:33:22.60\00:33:24.80
BURSTING - I'VE GOT TO TELL
SOMEBODY.' AND SO THIS IDEA OF
00:33:24.80\00:33:29.67
HAVING A MESSAGE ALL COOPED
UP AND YOU'VE JUST GOT TO LET IT
00:33:29.67\00:33:32.34
OUT, IT MAY FIRST
APPEAR HERE IN ELIHU [JOB].
00:33:32.34\00:33:36.04
AND SO, THERE'S OTHER
THINGS THAT WE'LL LOOK AT.
00:33:36.04\00:33:38.98
IF YOU GO TO CHAPTER - IT SAYS -
OH YEAH, THE PRINCIPLE WHERE HE
00:33:38.98\00:33:47.32
SAYS HE WITHDRAWS HIS SPIRIT AND
MAN PERISHES AND RETURNS TO THE
00:33:47.32\00:33:51.86
DUST. NOW WHAT WAS
WRITTEN FIRST, JOB OR GENESIS?
00:33:51.86\00:33:56.63
>>JOB. >>IT'S A
CONFUSING QUESTION
00:33:56.63\00:33:59.20
BECAUSE GENESIS HAPPENS FIRST,
BUT JOB WAS PROBABLY RECORDED
00:33:59.20\00:34:04.24
FIRST, BY MOSES,
IN THE LAND OF MIDIAN.
00:34:04.24\00:34:07.14
BUT, IN GENESIS, IT ALSO SAYS,
'IN THE SWEAT OF YOUR FACE YOU
00:34:07.14\00:34:10.35
WILL EAT BREAD UNTIL YOU RETURN
TO THE DUST FOR DUST YOU ARE AND
00:34:10.35\00:34:15.15
UNTO DUST YOU'LL RETURN.' THAT'S
EXACTLY WHAT ELIHU JUST SAID.
00:34:15.15\00:34:19.29
YOU CAN READ IN ECCLESIASTES
12:7, WHERE SOLOMON SAID, "THEN
00:34:19.29\00:34:23.39
THE DUST WILL RETURN TO THE
EARTH AS IT WAS AND THE SPIRIT
00:34:23.39\00:34:27.10
WILL RETURN TO GOD WHO GAVE IT."
AND WE READ WHERE ELIHU SAID
00:34:27.10\00:34:33.03
THAT IF GOD SHOULD WITHDRAW HIS
SPIRIT, ALL FLESH WOULD PERISH.
00:34:33.03\00:34:37.07
YOU READ IN ECCLESIASTES WHERE
SOLOMON SAID - BY THE WAY, ONE
00:34:37.07\00:34:40.11
OF YOU IS GOING TO BE READING
FOR ME IN JUST A MOMENT, HEBREWS
00:34:40.11\00:34:42.88
4:13, OKAY? SOLOMON
SAYS, 'FOR WHAT HAPPENS
00:34:42.88\00:34:47.42
TO THE SONS OF MEN
HAPPENS TO ANIMALS.
00:34:47.42\00:34:50.05
ONE THING BEFALLS THEM - AS
ONE DIES, SO DIES THE OTHER.
00:34:50.05\00:34:53.79
SURELY THEY ALL
HAVE ONE BREATH.'
00:34:53.79\00:34:56.56
NOW THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
IT SAYS THAT THE SPIRIT RETURNS
00:34:56.56\00:34:59.73
TO GOD WHO GAVE IT AND
THE BODY RETURNS TO THE DUST.
00:34:59.73\00:35:03.13
IS IT JUST TALKING ABOUT THE
RIGHTEOUS OR THE WICKED OR IS
00:35:03.13\00:35:06.57
SOLOMON SAYING, 'THAT'S
A PRINCIPLE FOR ALL LIVING
00:35:06.57\00:35:08.70
THINGS THAT HAVE
THE SPIRIT OF GOD.'?
00:35:08.70\00:35:10.94
YOU SEE, SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT
THAT VERSE IS SAYING, 'IF YOU'RE
00:35:10.94\00:35:13.68
GOOD, WHEN YOU DIE, A LITTLE
GOOD GHOST POPS OUT AND GOES TO
00:35:13.68\00:35:16.14
BE WITH GOD.' HAVEN'T YOU
HEARD IT INTERPRETED THAT WAY?
00:35:16.14\00:35:19.88
BUT IF YOU REALLY READ WHAT
SOLOMON IS SAYING, HE'S USING
00:35:19.88\00:35:22.95
THE WORD 'SPIRIT'
AS THE BREATH OF LIFE.
00:35:22.95\00:35:24.62
HE'S SAYING, 'THE BREATH OF LIFE
OF ALL CREATURES RETURNS TO GOD,
00:35:24.62\00:35:28.72
GOOD OR BAD.' THERE'S
A RECALL ON THE BREATH.
00:35:28.72\00:35:33.09
AS ELIHU SAID, 'THE ELEMENTS
RETURN TO THE DUST WHERE THEY
00:35:33.09\00:35:36.50
WERE. ALL GO TO ONE PLACE.
00:35:36.50\00:35:40.07
ALL ARE FROM THE DUST
AND ALL RETURN TO THE DUST.
00:35:40.07\00:35:43.44
IS THAT CLEAR? >>YES.
00:35:43.44\00:35:45.31
>>IT'S NOT TALKING ABOUT JUST
THE GOOD OR JUST THE BAD; JUST
00:35:45.31\00:35:47.41
THE HUMANS OR JUST THE ANIMALS,
IT'S TALKING ABOUT ALL THE
00:35:47.41\00:35:50.68
BREATH. IN JOB 34 -
SAME PRINCIPLE - "IN
00:35:50.68\00:35:55.52
A MOMENT THEY DIE, IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE NIGHT; THE PEOPLE ARE
00:35:55.52\00:35:58.85
SHAKEN AND PASS
AWAY; THE MIGHTY ARE TAKEN
00:35:58.85\00:36:01.62
AWAY WITHOUT A HAND. FOR
HIS EYES ARE ON THE WAYS OF
00:36:01.62\00:36:04.86
MAN, AND HE SEES ALL HIS
STEPS." GOD SEES EVERYTHING.
00:36:04.86\00:36:09.06
HERE'S ANOTHER PRINCIPLE FROM
ELIHU - THAT WAS CHAPTER 34 -
00:36:09.06\00:36:12.00
AND WE'VE GOT A NEW TESTAMENT
SIMILAR VERSE - HEBREWS, PLEASE.
00:36:12.00\00:36:15.84
>>HEBREWS 4:13, "AND THERE IS NO
CREATURE HIDDEN FROM HIS SIGHT,
00:36:15.84\00:36:20.48
BUT ALL THINGS ARE NAKED AND
OPEN TO THE EYES OF HIM TO WHOM
00:36:20.48\00:36:23.51
WE MUST GIVE ACCOUNT."
>>NOTHING IS HIDDEN FROM GOD.
00:36:23.51\00:36:27.52
GOD SEES ALL THINGS, AMEN?
AND YOU CAN READ IN JOB 36 -
00:36:27.52\00:36:32.32
STILL CONTINUING THE DIALOGUE OF
ELIHU, "BEHOLD, GOD IS MIGHTY,
00:36:32.32\00:36:37.39
BUT DESPISES NO ONE;
HE IS MIGHTY IN STRENGTH
00:36:37.39\00:36:40.93
OF UNDERSTANDING. HE DOES
NOT PRESERVE THE LIFE OF THE
00:36:40.93\00:36:44.27
WICKED, BUT GIVES JUSTICE TO THE
OPPRESSED. HE DOES NOT WITHDRAW
00:36:44.27\00:36:47.47
HIS EYES FROM THE RIGHTEOUS;
BUT THEY ARE ON THE THRONE WITH
00:36:47.47\00:36:50.57
KINGS, FOR HE HAS SEATED THEM
FOREVER, AND THEY ARE EXALTED."
00:36:50.57\00:36:54.94
AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK
THAT ONE OF THE STRUGGLES THAT'S
00:36:54.94\00:37:01.55
HAPPENING THROUGH THE
BOOK OF JOB IS THE TIME FACTOR.
00:37:01.55\00:37:07.99
THERE MAY BE TIMES WHEN
RIGHTEOUS SUFFER, BUT DAVID
00:37:07.99\00:37:11.96
SAID, 'I WAS YOUNG AND I'M NOW
OLD' - AND I DON'T REMEMBER THAT
00:37:11.96\00:37:14.73
VERSE - IF SOMEONE REMEMBERS
IT YOU CAN CALL IT OUT TO ME.
00:37:14.73\00:37:17.47
'I WAS YOUNG AND I'M NOW OLD,
BUT I'VE NOT SEEN THE RIGHTEOUS
00:37:17.47\00:37:20.30
FORSAKEN OR HIS SEED BEGGING
BREAD.' THAT'S IN PSALMS.
00:37:20.30\00:37:25.21
AND HAVE WE NEVER
SEEN A GOOD PERSON HUNGRY?
00:37:25.21\00:37:30.18
BUT IT DOESN'T LAST.
GOD - THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
00:37:30.18\00:37:33.11
WERE HUNGRY IN THE WILDERNESS,
BUT IN TIME HE SUPPLIED FOR
00:37:33.11\00:37:37.35
THEM. HE COMES THROUGH.
AND SO, IT'S A PRINCIPLE THAT,
00:37:37.35\00:37:40.79
IN THE LONG RUN, GOD WILL
ALWAYS COME THROUGH FOR HIS OWN.
00:37:40.79\00:37:43.89
AND SOME WOULD SAY, 'WHAT ABOUT
THE MARTYRS THAT SUFFERED AND
00:37:43.89\00:37:47.23
DIED? HE DIDN'T
COME THROUGH FOR THE
00:37:47.23\00:37:49.46
RIGHTEOUS MARTYRS.' OH YEAH
HE DID. WHAT'S THE NEXT THING A
00:37:49.46\00:37:52.47
MARTYR'S AWARE OF WHEN
THEY DIE FOR THEIR FAITH?
00:37:52.47\00:37:56.04
IT'S THE RESURRECTION OF
BEING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
00:37:56.04\00:37:59.37
AND SO, YOU KNOW, GOD IS GOOD
AND THIS IS WHAT THE THEME IS
00:37:59.37\00:38:04.81
THAT'S BEING BORNE OUT
HERE. "AND THEY ARE EXALTED."
00:38:04.81\00:38:08.25
ALRIGHT, THEN IT GOES ONTO THE
IRRATIONALITY OF EVIL AND WE'VE
00:38:08.25\00:38:14.69
GOT A FEW DIFFERENT VERSES HERE.
IF YOU LOOK IN JOB 9, VERSE 10 -
00:38:14.69\00:38:19.79
THIS IS UNDER THE SECTION CALLED
THE IRRATIONALITY OF EVIL .
00:38:19.79\00:38:22.80
FIRST OF ALL, HOW WISE
WAS LUCIFER BEFORE HIS FALL?
00:38:22.80\00:38:32.54
>>VERY. >>YOU KNOW, HE WAS THE
00:38:32.54\00:38:39.58
BRIGHTEST OF GOD'S CREATIONS.
BUT THE BIBLE SAYS, 'THE FEAR
00:38:39.58\00:38:43.69
OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING
OF WISDOM.' WHICH MEANS, WHEN
00:38:43.69\00:38:46.29
YOU CEASE TO FEAR GOD,
YOU'RE DISQUALIFIED WITH WISDOM.
00:38:46.29\00:38:51.89
HOW WISE COULD IT BE FOR THE
CREATURE TO THINK HE COULD TAKE
00:38:51.89\00:38:56.83
OVER THE CREATOR?
NOW, TO YOU AND I, MAYBE
00:38:56.83\00:39:00.47
THE DEVIL HAD SOME INSIDE
INFORMATION WE DON'T KNOW.
00:39:00.47\00:39:03.04
MAYBE HE THOUGHT GOD WAS
VULNERABLE IN A WAY WE CAN'T
00:39:03.04\00:39:05.11
COMPREHEND. BUT
SOMEHOW, HE THOUGHT HE
00:39:05.11\00:39:08.48
WAS GOING TO OVERTHROW GOD.
NOW, HE ESPECIALLY HATES JESUS,
00:39:08.48\00:39:13.52
BUT WHO CREATED
ALL THINGS? >>JESUS.
00:39:13.52\00:39:15.45
>>ALL THINGS THAT WERE
MADE WERE MADE BY CHRIST.
00:39:15.45\00:39:18.65
IS LUCIFER A
CREATOR OR A CREATION?
00:39:18.65\00:39:22.12
>>CREATION. >>CREATION.
00:39:22.12\00:39:23.39
SO WHO CREATED THE
GOOD ANGEL, LUCIFER?
00:39:23.39\00:39:26.16
>>JESUS. >>JESUS, RIGHT?
00:39:26.16\00:39:28.83
JESUS CREATED ALL THINGS.
SO THE IDEA THAT YOU COULD
00:39:28.83\00:39:32.43
OVERTHROW YOUR CREATOR,
TO ME, DOESN'T SEEM RATIONAL.
00:39:32.43\00:39:37.71
IT REALLY SEEMS
FOOLISH. WOULDN'T YOU THINK?
00:39:37.71\00:39:41.98
TO - I MEAN, WHO WOULD EVER WANT
TO SAY, 'I THINK I CAN OUT BOX
00:39:41.98\00:39:44.45
GOD.' IF HE'S - ONE OF THE
DEFINITIONS OF GOD IS OMNIPOTENT
00:39:44.45\00:39:50.89
- HE'S ALL-POWERFUL -
WOULDN'T IT BE FOOLISH TO THINK?
00:39:50.89\00:39:54.86
ANYWAY, EVIL IS IRRATIONAL.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ABOUT THE
00:39:54.86\00:40:01.36
ATTITUDE THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN
SOMEONE REALIZES THEY'RE GOING
00:40:01.36\00:40:04.03
TO LOSE THE CHESS GAME,
THEY KNOCK OVER THE BOARD?
00:40:04.03\00:40:08.77
THEY THROW THE - THEY SWIPE
IT EVERYWHERE AS THOUGH THAT'S
00:40:08.77\00:40:13.24
GOING TO CHANGE THE RESULT.
OR THE IDEA THAT 'IF I'M GOING
00:40:13.24\00:40:17.58
TO GO DOWN, I'M GOING TO TAKE
AS MANY WITH ME AS I CAN.' WHAT
00:40:17.58\00:40:23.12
IS THE ATTITUDE OF THE DEVIL?
HE HAS - "HE KNOWS HE HAS BUT A
00:40:23.12\00:40:27.29
SHORT TIME" - REVELATION CHAPTER
12 - SO HE COMES DOWN WITH GREAT
00:40:27.29\00:40:30.63
WRATH AND HE FIGURES, 'IF I GO
OUT, I'M GOING TO TAKE AS MANY
00:40:30.63\00:40:34.00
GOOD PEOPLE WITH ME AS I
CAN.' NOW IS THAT RATIONAL?
00:40:34.00\00:40:39.20
WELL HE IS - HE'S
EVIL. HE'S IRRATIONAL.
00:40:39.20\00:40:42.80
SIN WILL MAKE YOU STUPID. IT
WILL, YEAH. PEOPLE, WHEN THEY
00:40:42.80\00:40:50.08
LOSE THEIR TEMPERS, DON'T
THEY DO IRRATIONAL THINGS?
00:40:50.08\00:40:53.25
AND HAVEN'T WE ALL HEARD STORIES
OF PEOPLE THAT WERE JUST BLESSED
00:40:53.25\00:41:00.19
AND PROSPEROUS AND THEN THEY DID
SOMETHING SINFUL AND THEY LOST
00:41:00.19\00:41:04.43
THEIR REPUTATION - THEY
LOST EVERYTHING - AND YOU THINK,
00:41:04.43\00:41:06.56
'WOW, THEY SACRIFICED EVERYTHING
FOR THE DUMBEST THINGS.'
00:41:06.56\00:41:11.60
YOU HEAR ABOUT MINISTRIES AND
MINISTERS - EFFECTIVE, POPULAR,
00:41:11.60\00:41:18.01
SUCCESSFUL, PROSPEROUS - AND
THEN THE EVANGELIST, HE'S GOING
00:41:18.01\00:41:23.88
OUT AND HAVING SECRET RENDEZVOUS
WITH GIRLS HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW
00:41:23.88\00:41:29.15
EXCEPT FOR ONE NIGHT. AND
YOU THINK ABOUT THAT IS THE
00:41:29.15\00:41:32.62
DUMBEST THING IN THE WORLD -
TO SACRIFICE ALL THAT INFLUENCE
00:41:32.62\00:41:38.59
THAT YOU'VE HAD, WHICH,
OSTENSIBLY, IS FOR GOOD,
00:41:38.59\00:41:42.46
FOR SOMETHING SO FOOLISH.
SIN WILL MAKE YOU STUPID.
00:41:42.46\00:41:48.30
YOU CAN READ HERE - JOB 9:10,
"HE DOES GREAT WONDERS [THINGS]
00:41:48.30\00:41:51.87
PAST FINDING OUT, YES,
WONDERS WITHOUT NUMBER."
00:41:51.87\00:41:54.44
JOB 40:2 - SOMEONE'S GOING TO
READ ROMANS 9:20 FOR ME IN JUST
00:41:54.44\00:41:58.35
A MOMENT. JOB
40:2, "SHALL THE ONE WHO
00:41:58.35\00:42:02.38
CONTENDS WITH THE
ALMIGHTY CORRECT HIM?
00:42:02.38\00:42:05.75
HE WHO REBUKES
GOD, LET HIM ANSWER IT."
00:42:05.75\00:42:09.09
GO AHEAD, YOU CAN
READ ROMANS 9:20 FOR US.
00:42:09.09\00:42:11.86
>>"BUT INDEED, O MAN, WHO
ARE YOU TO REPLY AGAINST GOD?
00:42:11.86\00:42:15.13
WILL THE THING FORMED SAY TO
HIM WHO FORMED IT, 'WHY HAVE YOU
00:42:15.13\00:42:18.50
MADE ME LIKE
THIS?'" >>WHO WROTE ROMANS?
00:42:18.50\00:42:21.60
>>PAUL. >>YOU
THINK PAUL READ THAT
00:42:21.60\00:42:24.57
VERSE WE JUST READ IN
JOB? SHALL THE ONE CONTEND WITH
00:42:24.57\00:42:29.28
THE ALMIGHTY CORRECT HIM?
WHO REBUKES GOD, LET HIM ANSWER
00:42:29.28\00:42:32.51
IT.' ARE WE GOING TO REBUKE GOD?
WILL THE CREATION ARGUE WITH THE
00:42:32.51\00:42:36.02
CREATOR AND SAY, 'OH, LORD,
I THINK YOU MADE A MISTAKE.'?
00:42:36.02\00:42:39.52
AND, YOU KNOW, I MEET
PEOPLE THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND THE
00:42:39.52\00:42:43.09
SUBJECT OF THE ORIGIN OF SIN.
THEY THINK GOD MADE A DEVIL.
00:42:43.09\00:42:48.63
OR THEY THINK GOD
MADE A DEFECTIVE ANGEL.
00:42:48.63\00:42:52.47
WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT
GOD? DOES GOD MAKE MISTAKES
00:42:52.47\00:42:55.74
LIKE THAT? AND
THEN, OF COURSE, THERE'S
00:42:55.74\00:42:58.41
PEOPLE THAT THINK
THAT GOD MIS-MADE ME.
00:42:58.41\00:43:05.78
I DON'T MEAN ME, I MEAN
THEY SAY THAT ABOUT THEMSELVES.
00:43:05.78\00:43:08.08
(LAUGHTER) YEAH. WELL,
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING.
00:43:08.08\00:43:14.22
I MAY AS WELL JUST
TELL YOU WHAT I'M THINKING.
00:43:14.22\00:43:15.52
PEOPLE ARE SAYING,
'GOD MADE A MISTAKE.
00:43:15.52\00:43:17.93
I WAS SUPPOSED BE A GIRL/I WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE A BOY AND HE GOT
00:43:17.93\00:43:20.03
MIXED UP. (LAUGHTER) DOES
GOD MAKE THOSE KIND OF MISTAKES?
00:43:20.03\00:43:24.60
>>NO. >>NO. 1
CORINTHIANS 13:9 AND 10,
00:43:24.60\00:43:29.94
"FOR NOW WE KNOW IN
PART AND WE PROPHESY IN PART.
00:43:29.94\00:43:33.81
BUT WHEN THAT WHICH IS PERFECT
HAS COME, THEN THAT WHICH IS IN
00:43:33.81\00:43:37.51
PART WILL BE DONE AWAY."
YOU KNOW, ONE REASON, RIGHT NOW,
00:43:37.51\00:43:40.52
WE SOMETIMES MISUNDERSTAND - WE
TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING
00:43:40.52\00:43:43.52
ON, IS BECAUSE WE
CANNOT SEE BEHIND THE VEIL.
00:43:43.52\00:43:47.62
THERE'S JUST SO
MUCH WE DON'T UNDERSTAND.
00:43:47.62\00:43:49.76
MATTER OF FACT, THERE'S MORE
THAT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND THAN WE
00:43:49.76\00:43:53.19
DO UNDERSTAND. AND SO,
THIS WHOLE SECTION ABOUT
00:43:53.19\00:43:56.56
THE IRRATIONALITY OF EVIL IS
TALKING ABOUT 'WE DON'T KNOW' -
00:43:56.56\00:44:00.80
THERE'S SO MUCH WE DON'T KNOW.
ROMANS 11:33 - PAUL, AGAIN, "OH,
00:44:00.80\00:44:05.21
THE DEPTH OF THE RICHES BOTH OF
THE WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE OF GOD!
00:44:05.21\00:44:09.51
HOW UNSEARCHABLE ARE HIS
JUDGMENTS AND HIS WAYS PAST
00:44:09.51\00:44:13.95
FINDING OUT!" IT'S
LIKE THAT PASSAGE WE READ
00:44:13.95\00:44:16.95
IN OUR MEMORY VERSE, 'THE
HEAVENS ARE HIGH ABOVE THE
00:44:16.95\00:44:19.32
EARTH, SO ARE MY WAYS ABOVE YOUR
WAYS AND MY THOUGHTS THAN YOUR
00:44:19.32\00:44:23.93
THOUGHTS.' SO HOW HIGH
ABOVE THE EARTH ARE THE HEAVENS?
00:44:23.93\00:44:30.13
I DON'T KNOW HOW
THE ASTRONOMERS DO THIS.
00:44:30.13\00:44:32.47
I HEAR THEY USE CALCULUS THAT'S
ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT I CAN DO,
00:44:32.47\00:44:35.94
BUT THEY SAY THAT THE NEAREST
STAR TO EARTH - IT'S EITHER
00:44:35.94\00:44:38.87
ALPHA CENTURI OR ALPHA PROXIMI
- I THINK IT'S ALPHA PROXIMI -
00:44:38.87\00:44:42.38
PROXIMI MEANS 'CLOSE' - AND THEY
SAY THAT'S FOUR LIGHT YEARS -
00:44:42.38\00:44:46.95
FIRST STAR - OUT OF THE ZILLIONS
- UNNUMBERED STARS OUT THERE.
00:44:46.95\00:44:50.42
THE CLOSEST ONE WE CAN CALCULATE
IS FOUR LIGHT YEARS AWAY,
00:44:50.42\00:44:54.09
MEANING, IF YOU TRAVELED THE
SPEED OF LIGHT - IF YOU TRAVELED
00:44:54.09\00:44:57.63
THE SPEED OF LIGHT, YOU'D BE
AT THE MOON IN ABOUT 9 MINUTES.
00:44:57.63\00:45:00.80
IF YOU TRAVELED THE SPEED OF
LIGHT 186,000 MILES - NO, NO -
00:45:00.80\00:45:04.40
YOU'D BE AT THE SUN - THE 9 WAS
- THANK YOU - THE MOON, I THINK,
00:45:04.40\00:45:07.97
IS LIKE 23,000 MILES AWAY
- IF - AND THE MOON IS, WHAT?
00:45:07.97\00:45:12.94
9 MILLION MILES AWAY. IF
YOU TRAVEL THE SPEED OF LIGHT
00:45:12.94\00:45:16.14
- 186,000 - DID I
GET THAT WRONG AGAIN?
00:45:16.14\00:45:19.15
>>YES. >>WHAT'D I SAY?
00:45:19.15\00:45:20.12
>>9 MILLION. >>HOW MANY MILLION?
00:45:20.12\00:45:23.75
>>9. >>IT'S NINETY MILLION.
00:45:23.75\00:45:26.62
>>93 MILLION. >>93
MILLION. (LAUGHTER)
00:45:26.62\00:45:29.36
AND SIX INCHES.
(LAUGHTER) THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:45:29.36\00:45:34.56
>>YOU STAND CORRECTED.
>>I STAND CORRECTED ALL THE
00:45:34.56\00:45:37.23
TIME. MATTER OF FACT, WHENEVER
I'M STANDING I'M USUALLY
00:45:37.23\00:45:39.53
CORRECTED. (LAUGHTER) BUT HERE
YOU'VE GOT 186,000 MILES PER
00:45:39.53\00:45:47.11
SECOND; TRAVELING THAT SPEED, IT
TAKES YOU FOUR YEARS TO GET TO
00:45:47.11\00:45:52.51
THE FIRST STAR. SO
THEN GOD SAYS, 'AS THE
00:45:52.51\00:45:55.25
HEAVENS ARE HIGH ABOVE THE
EARTH, SO ARE MY WAYS ABOVE YOUR
00:45:55.25\00:45:58.62
WAYS.' HOW MUCH HIGHER
ARE GOD'S WAYS THAN OUR WAYS?
00:45:58.62\00:46:02.66
SO WHATEVER IT IS WE THINK WE
KNOW ABOUT GOD, COMPARED TO WHAT
00:46:02.66\00:46:06.03
WE CAN KNOW ABOUT GOD, AND
COMPARED - PARDON ME (COUGHS)
00:46:06.03\00:46:14.37
COMPARED TO WHAT WE WILL KNOW
ABOUT GOD WHEN WE LIVE FOREVER -
00:46:14.37\00:46:19.37
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT, 'YOU
KNOW, EVENTUALLY, AFTER I LIVE
00:46:19.37\00:46:21.41
FOR A BILLION YEARS, I'LL PRETTY
WELL HAVE GOD FIGURED OUT.'?
00:46:21.41\00:46:24.31
NO, HE IS PAST FINDING OUT - NOT
ONLY FOR US IN THIS CONDITION -
00:46:24.31\00:46:29.12
YOU KNOW, WE LIVE THREE-SCORE
AND TEN YEARS, WE KNOW ALMOST
00:46:29.12\00:46:32.85
NOTHING ABOUT GOD.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO KNOW
00:46:32.85\00:46:34.66
EVERYTHING ABOUT GOD
WHEN WE LIVE FOREVER.
00:46:34.66\00:46:37.39
SO HOW MUCH DO WE NOT KNOW NOW?
00:46:37.39\00:46:41.86
THE LONGER YOU LIVE, THE
MORE YOU KNOW YOU DON'T KNOW.
00:46:41.86\00:46:45.10
THERE IS A TIME - THE ZENITH -
YOU CRESCENDO AS A TEENAGER WHEN
00:46:45.10\00:46:48.90
YOU THINK YOU'VE
GOT IT ALL FIGURED OUT.
00:46:48.90\00:46:50.84
AND THEN, AS YOU MATURE, YOU
START REALIZING, 'WELL, MAYBE I
00:46:50.84\00:46:53.58
DON'T HAVE IT.' AND THEN,
THERE'S A REAL EPIPHANY WHEN YOU
00:46:53.58\00:46:56.51
GET IN YOUR 20S AND YOU THINK,
'MAYBE MOM AND DAD WEREN'T SO
00:46:56.51\00:46:59.61
STUPID.' THEY MAY NOT SAY
THAT, BUT THEY MAY THINK IT.
00:46:59.61\00:47:04.35
THEY START THINKING THAT 'MAYBE
THEY KNEW SOMETHING AFTER ALL.'
00:47:04.35\00:47:08.19
BUT THEN AS - THE LONGER YOU
LIVE, YOU REALIZE, OF ALL THE
00:47:08.19\00:47:11.33
KNOWLEDGE OUT THERE, YOU
KNOW A VERY LITTLE PART OF IT.
00:47:11.33\00:47:15.46
AND SO, IT'S IRRATIONAL FOR US
TO THINK THAT WE CAN EXPLAIN THE
00:47:15.46\00:47:21.14
- I SAID ALL I
SAID TO MAKE THIS POINT.
00:47:21.14\00:47:24.01
IT'S THE POINT OF JOB - THE BOOK
OF JOB - THAT THERE'S A WHOLE
00:47:24.01\00:47:28.81
LOT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU'VE GOT JOB AND HIS THREE
00:47:28.81\00:47:31.18
FRIENDS AND ELIHU ALL TRYING TO
EXPLAIN GOD, BUT IN THE BOTTOM
00:47:31.18\00:47:36.15
LINE, ELIHU SAYS,
'HE'S PAST FINDING OUT.'
00:47:36.15\00:47:40.26
WE - AND THAT'S PROBABLY THE
ONE THING THAT HE'S SAYING THAT
00:47:40.26\00:47:43.29
ISN'T BEING SAID AS CLEARLY
BY JOB AND BY HIS FRIENDS.
00:47:43.29\00:47:46.86
JOB IS SAYING, 'I DON'T
KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.
00:47:46.86\00:47:49.36
I'M INNOCENT.' AND HIS FRIENDS
ARE SAYING, 'YOU MUST HAVE DONE
00:47:49.36\00:47:51.20
SOMETHING WRONG, BECAUSE ONLY
THE WICKED SUFFER.' AND ELIHU
00:47:51.20\00:47:53.80
COMES IN AND HE SAYS, 'HEY GUYS,
THERE'S A LOT THAT WE DON'T KNOW
00:47:53.80\00:47:57.71
ABOUT GOD.' AND THEN GOD LATER
RE-EMPHASIZES THAT TRUTH IN THE
00:47:57.71\00:48:03.81
FURTHER CHAPTERS. WE'VE STILL
GOT THREE CHAPTERS TO GO IN THIS
00:48:03.81\00:48:06.68
STUDY. ALRIGHT, THE CHALLENGE
OF FAITH IS OUR LAST SECTION -
00:48:06.68\00:48:11.32
THE CHALLENGE OF FAITH .
AND ELIHU'S STILL SPEAKING HERE.
00:48:11.32\00:48:14.92
SOMEONE'S GOING TO
READ FOR ME 1 KINGS 3:7.
00:48:14.92\00:48:18.49
I'M GOING TO READ JOB 36:1-4,
"ELIHU ALSO PROCEEDED AND SAID:"
00:48:18.49\00:48:26.20
- MATTER OF FACT, AS YOU
READ THROUGH IT SAYS, 'MOREOVER,
00:48:26.20\00:48:28.47
ELIHU SAID' 'FURTHER, ELIHU
SAID' - HE TALKED QUITE A BIT -
00:48:28.47\00:48:31.71
"ELIHU ALSO PROCEEDED AND SAID:
'BEAR WITH ME A LITTLE, AND I
00:48:31.71\00:48:35.18
WILL SHOW YOU THAT THERE ARE YET
WORDS TO SPEAK ON GOD'S BEHALF.
00:48:35.18\00:48:39.01
I WILL FETCH MY KNOWLEDGE
FROM AFAR; I WILL ASCRIBE
00:48:39.01\00:48:41.78
RIGHTEOUSNESS TO MY MAKER.
FOR TRULY MY WORDS ARE NOT
00:48:41.78\00:48:45.09
FALSE; ONE WHO IS PERFECT
IN KNOWLEDGE IS WITH YOU."
00:48:45.09\00:48:48.92
NOW HE'S NOT SAYING THAT HE
IS PERFECT IN KNOWLEDGE, I DON'T
00:48:48.92\00:48:52.93
THINK. I THINK THAT ELIHU IS
SAYING THAT GOD IS PERFECT IN
00:48:52.93\00:48:57.20
KNOWLEDGE AND HE,
THROUGH HIS SPIRIT, IS HERE.
00:48:57.20\00:49:00.80
ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD, READ
FOR US, PLEASE, 1 KINGS.
00:49:00.80\00:49:04.17
>>1 KINGS 3:7, "NOW, O LORD MY
GOD, YOU HAVE MADE YOUR SERVANT
00:49:04.17\00:49:09.28
KING INSTEAD OF MY FATHER
DAVID, BUT I AM A LITTLE CHILD;
00:49:09.28\00:49:13.01
I DO NOT KNOW HOW
TO GO OUT OR COME IN."
00:49:13.01\00:49:17.72
>>SO WHEN WE DESCRIBE THE WISEST
MAN WHO EVER LIVED, WHO POPS
00:49:17.72\00:49:21.29
INTO YOUR MIND FIRST? >>SOLOMON.
00:49:21.29\00:49:24.09
>>SOLOMON. OF COURSE, JESUS WAS
WISER BUT HE GETS A PASS BECAUSE
00:49:24.09\00:49:27.03
HE WAS GOD. AMONG
REGULAR MEN, SOLOMON
00:49:27.03\00:49:31.33
WAS THE WISEST MAN.
WHAT WAS SOLOMON'S IDEA
00:49:31.33\00:49:33.30
ABOUT HOW MUCH HE KNEW?
HE SAYS, 'LORD, I'M A LITTLE
00:49:33.30\00:49:37.14
CHILD COMPARED TO
ALL THERE IS TO BE KNOWN.
00:49:37.14\00:49:40.18
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GO OUT OR
COME IN.' SOLOMON ALSO REPEATED,
00:49:40.18\00:49:43.71
FROM THE BOOK OF JOB, 'THE FEAR
OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF
00:49:43.71\00:49:46.25
WISDOM. 1
CORINTHIANS 13:9, PAUL ALSO
00:49:46.25\00:49:50.25
BEARS OUT THIS THEME,
"FOR WE KNOW IN PART AND WE
00:49:50.25\00:49:54.79
PROPHESY IN PART. BUT
WHEN THAT WHICH IS PERFECT
00:49:54.79\00:49:57.96
HAS COME, THEN THAT WHICH
IS IN PART WILL BE DONE AWAY."
00:49:57.96\00:50:02.93
NOW, EVERY NOW AND THEN I'LL
GET A LETTER - I GET A PRETTY
00:50:02.93\00:50:05.50
REGULAR STREAM OF LETTERS -
'PASTOR DOUG, YOU SAID SOMETHING
00:50:05.50\00:50:08.14
WRONG IN YOUR SERMON.' SOMETIMES
I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE.
00:50:08.14\00:50:13.41
SOMETIMES I SAY, 'WELL, I'M
NOT SURE AND YOU'RE NOT SURE
00:50:13.41\00:50:18.55
EITHER.' AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO
SAY, 'YOU'RE RIGHT.' THEY GIVE
00:50:18.55\00:50:24.75
THE OTHER VERSES, THEY GIVE THE
CORRESPONDING INFORMATION - I
00:50:24.75\00:50:27.46
SAY, 'I WAS WRONG.' AND THEN
I'LL FOLLOW UP WITH A VERSE AND
00:50:27.46\00:50:31.99
CYNDEE, WHO WORKS IN THE AMAZING
FACTS CORRESPONDENCE DEPARTMENT,
00:50:31.99\00:50:35.16
BECAUSE A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS
WE GET ARE DOCTRINAL QUESTIONS
00:50:35.16\00:50:37.27
THAT ARE BASIC - THEY'RE
STANDARD - STATE OF THE DEAD,
00:50:37.27\00:50:39.93
YOU KNOW, WE DO OUR PROGRAMS
AND THEY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE
00:50:39.93\00:50:41.94
SABBATH TRUTH AND SOME OF
THESE THINGS, SO WE HAVE REGULAR
00:50:41.94\00:50:44.37
ANSWERS WE SEND OUT.
I'VE TOLD CYNDEE THAT, WHEN
00:50:44.37\00:50:46.91
SOMEONE CORRECTS ME, AND
IF I HAVE MADE A MISTAKE OR
00:50:46.91\00:50:49.88
MISSPOKEN, THERE'S
THAT VERSE IN THE BIBLE
00:50:49.88\00:50:52.01
THAT SAYS, 'IN A MULTITUDE
OF WORDS, SIN IS NOT WANTING.'
00:50:52.01\00:50:56.99
SIMPLE TRANSLATION MEANS:
THE MORE YOU TALK, MORE CHANCE
00:50:56.99\00:50:59.79
YOU'RE GOING TO
SAY SOMETHING WRONG.
00:50:59.79\00:51:02.62
AND SO, EVEN PREACHERS,
WHEN THEY STAND BEFORE PEOPLE,
00:51:02.62\00:51:06.19
NEED TO ADMIT 'I'M NOT THE POPE.
00:51:06.19\00:51:10.63
HE'S NOT PERFECT AND I KNOW
I'M NOT.' YOU KNOW, THE CATHOLIC
00:51:10.63\00:51:14.30
CHURCH USED TO CLAIM
INFALLIBILITY AND EVERYTHING THE
00:51:14.30\00:51:17.17
POPE SAID WAS EX CATHEDRA
- IT WAS THE WORD OF GOD.
00:51:17.17\00:51:20.91
AND NO PREACHER
SHOULD EVER SAY THAT.
00:51:20.91\00:51:23.18
YOU DO YOUR BEST TO SPEAK THE
WORDS OF THE LORD, AND AS LONG
00:51:23.18\00:51:26.35
AS YOU STICK TO THE BIBLE
YOU KNOW YOU'RE GETTING CLOSE.
00:51:26.35\00:51:28.95
BUT HOW MUCH HIGHER - YOU KNOW,
PAUL IS SAYING, 'FOR WE PROPHESY
00:51:28.95\00:51:33.56
IN PART' - WE ONLY KNOW IN
PART - 'WE SEE THROUGH A GLASS
00:51:33.56\00:51:38.33
DIMLY.' OUR MIRRORS TODAY
ARE MUCH MORE ACCURATE THAN THEY
00:51:38.33\00:51:44.53
WERE IN BIBLE TIMES. IN
BIBLE TIMES A MIRROR, YOU
00:51:44.53\00:51:46.67
KNOW, IMPERFECT SURFACE - IT
WAS A LITTLE WAVY AND WHEN YOU
00:51:46.67\00:51:49.27
LOOKED AT YOURSELF IT
WASN'T A PERFECT REPRESENTATION.
00:51:49.27\00:51:52.64
AND THEN YOU'VE
GOT 2 CORINTHIANS 5:7,
00:51:52.64\00:51:56.51
"FOR WE WALK BY
FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT."
00:51:56.51\00:52:00.65
IN JOB 36:6 - ANOTHER STATEMENT
OF ELIHU - "HE PRESERVES NOT THE
00:52:00.65\00:52:05.49
LIFE OF THE WICKED, BUT
GIVES RIGHT TO THE POOR."
00:52:05.49\00:52:09.02
AGAIN, HE'S STATING THE
OVERRIDING PRINCIPLE THAT YOU
00:52:09.02\00:52:11.93
FIND THROUGH THE BIBLE AND
THROUGH THE BOOK OF JOB IS THAT
00:52:11.93\00:52:17.07
GOD DOES BLESS THE RIGHTEOUS.
AND THOUGH THE WICKED MAY SEEM
00:52:17.07\00:52:20.10
TO PROSPER AND THOUGH THE SINNER
MAY SEEM TO FLOURISH FOR A
00:52:20.10\00:52:23.14
WHILE, KING DAVID SAID, 'DO NOT
FRET' - PSALM 37 - 'BECAUSE OF
00:52:23.14\00:52:27.34
THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE
REJOICING IS TEMPORARY.
00:52:27.34\00:52:30.58
IN THE END, I KNOW IT WILL
BE WELL WITH THE RIGHTEOUS.
00:52:30.58\00:52:33.55
IT WILL NOT BE
WELL WITH THE WICKED.'
00:52:33.55\00:52:36.08
AND ANYWAY, SO YOU NEED TO
READ THOSE FIVE CHAPTERS OF
00:52:36.08\00:52:38.85
ELIHU AND LET ME
KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.
00:52:38.85\00:52:41.22
THERE HAVE BEEN ALL
KINDS OF THEORIES ABOUT HIM.
00:52:41.22\00:52:43.43
SOME SAY THE HOLY SPIRIT
SUDDENLY APPEARED IN THE FORM OF
00:52:43.43\00:52:47.46
THIS MAN AND ALL THAT
ELIHU SAID WAS THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:52:47.46\00:52:51.23
SOME HAVE SAID ELIHU WAS REALLY
A CHRISTOPHANY - DO YOU KNOW
00:52:51.23\00:52:55.14
WHAT A CHRISTOPHANY IS?
WHEN JESUS APPEARED AT THE
00:52:55.14\00:52:58.67
BURNING BUSH TO MOSES, IT'S
- THEY BELIEVE IT WAS CHRIST.
00:52:58.67\00:53:03.75
THE ONE WHO APPEARED AS THE
ANGEL OF THE LORD TO JOSHUA,
00:53:03.75\00:53:07.02
WHEN JOSHUA TOOK OFF HIS SHOES
AND BOWED BEFORE HIM, WAS A
00:53:07.02\00:53:10.69
CHRISTOPHANY. THE -
ONE OF THE TIMES WHEN
00:53:10.69\00:53:13.12
JESUS APPEARED TO ABRAHAM -
THAT'S WHY CHRIST SAID, 'BEFORE
00:53:13.12\00:53:16.96
ABRAHAM WAS, I AM.' WHEN CHRIST
APPEARED TO ABRAHAM AS HE WAS
00:53:16.96\00:53:22.10
WITH HIS ANGELS ON HIS
WAY TO SODOM AND GOMORRAH,
00:53:22.10\00:53:24.60
IT WAS A CHRISTOPHANY. AND
SOME HAVE WONDERED IF ELIHU
00:53:24.60\00:53:26.94
WAS ACTUALLY A
CHRISTOPHANY. I DON'T THINK SO.
00:53:26.94\00:53:29.70
I THINK IT'S AN ACTUAL PERSON
THERE, BUT WHAT HE SAYS IS
00:53:29.70\00:53:32.01
PRETTY MYSTERIOUS BECAUSE
THERE'S A LOT OF THEORIES OUT
00:53:32.01\00:53:34.01
THERE AMONG THE COMMENTATORS,
HOW THIS MAN APPEARS OUT OF
00:53:34.01\00:53:36.71
NOWHERE AND HAS SO MUCH TO
SAY. ANYWAY, THAT'S THE END
00:53:36.71\00:53:40.02

TOO FAR FROM THE ISLAND OF FIJI,
AND WE'RE GETTING READY TO LOOK
00:54:27.13\00:54:29.86
AT SOME WONDERS IN THE DEEP.
THE BIBLE SAYS GOD MADE THE

HEAVEN AND THE
EARTH AND THE SEA.
00:54:34.34\00:54:36.24
AND THERE ARE THINGS UNDER THE
SEA THAT ARE BEAUTIFUL THAT MANY
00:54:36.24\00:54:38.44
PEOPLE HAVE NEVER SEEN.
SOME FOLKS MIGHT JUST SKIM ALONG
00:54:38.44\00:54:41.61

YOU WANT TO SEE THE REAL MAJESTY
00:54:41.61\00:54:44.95

TO GO DEEPER. (LIVELY MUSIC)

HAVE GILLS LIKE FISH, WE

IN THE SAME WAY, THE BIBLE SAYS
00:55:11.91\00:55:16.08
A CHRISTIAN NEEDS TO
PRAY WITHOUT CEASING.
00:55:16.08\00:55:18.68
WE NEED TO ALWAYS BE BREATHING
