1 00:00:02,290 --> 00:00:05,330 Five hundred and sixty-six please. 2 00:00:07,070 --> 00:00:08,650 He is a lovely little man. 3 00:00:10,050 --> 00:00:14,030 Amid the trials that I meet, amid the 4 00:00:14,030 --> 00:00:18,770 thorns that pierce my feet, one thought remains 5 00:00:18,770 --> 00:00:27,510 supremely sweet, Thou faintest Lord of me. 6 00:00:27,670 --> 00:00:29,810 Five hundred and sixty-six please. 7 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,200 He is a lovely little man. 8 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,240 Amid the trials that I meet, amid the 9 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,620 thorns that pierce my feet, one thought remains 10 00:00:57,620 --> 00:01:21,160 supremely sweet, Lord, 11 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,000 be my dear friend for a year. 12 00:01:26,780 --> 00:01:31,660 Thou faintest Lord of me. 13 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:41,560 There is a voice from the heavens, a 14 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:48,700 voice from the heavens from the ground, and 15 00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:53,920 it reminds my heart of her. 16 00:02:13,940 --> 00:02:20,120 Lord, be my dear friend for a year. 17 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:26,140 Thou faintest Lord of me. 18 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:37,300 There's a road that I must go, there's 19 00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:44,820 a road that I must go, I am 20 00:02:44,820 --> 00:02:48,840 the path for which I go. 21 00:03:09,740 --> 00:03:15,700 Lord, be my dear friend for a year. 22 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,200 Thou faintest Lord of me. 23 00:03:28,780 --> 00:03:29,820 All right. 24 00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:33,760 You can see your notes tonight. 25 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,240 You know, for the past, I think it's 26 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,280 ten weeks that's passed because we did one 27 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,200 or two weeks on the body. 28 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,080 And for ten weeks past, we've been looking 29 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,120 at the Bible analysis of man. 30 00:03:52,660 --> 00:03:55,660 We've looked at man's memory, and man's understanding, 31 00:03:56,420 --> 00:03:57,660 and man's imagination. 32 00:03:58,940 --> 00:04:01,480 And we took two or three weeks looking 33 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,720 at man's body. 34 00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:06,620 We looked at man's mortal body. 35 00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:10,800 And then we looked up at Saju's body. 36 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,500 And then we looked up at Saju's glorious 37 00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:17,200 body. 38 00:04:17,740 --> 00:04:20,360 The body that rose again from the dead. 39 00:04:20,420 --> 00:04:22,300 And we had about three weeks then. 40 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,420 Now we're going to look at man's soul 41 00:04:26,420 --> 00:04:27,200 this evening. 42 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,220 And before we get into the exposition of 43 00:04:32,220 --> 00:04:36,000 truth on this, I want to look at 44 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,640 some of the arguments that they raise themselves 45 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,700 against this great doctrine of man's soul. 46 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,760 You know, there are ethics and rights, and 47 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,580 they array themselves against this. 48 00:04:51,580 --> 00:04:55,320 The Israelites say there's no such thing as 49 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:55,620 soul. 50 00:04:56,980 --> 00:04:59,560 And the Millennial Godless, which is the same 51 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:00,460 thing of course. 52 00:05:01,940 --> 00:05:03,760 No such thing as soul. 53 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,620 It's just what you see. 54 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:07,920 No more. 55 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,380 Now I know that we use the sociology 56 00:05:15,380 --> 00:05:19,080 day after day that sort of helps them 57 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:19,980 in their arguments. 58 00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:23,220 I want you to get the hold of 59 00:05:23,220 --> 00:05:23,440 that. 60 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,300 You see when the ship is sinking at 61 00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:32,020 sea, there is an SOS sent out across 62 00:05:32,020 --> 00:05:33,880 the world by radio. 63 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,260 And the SOS means save our souls. 64 00:05:42,220 --> 00:05:44,360 And I assure you when the captain is 65 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,620 sending it out he's not thinking about souls 66 00:05:46,620 --> 00:05:47,100 at all. 67 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,320 He's just thinking about bodies. 68 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,660 And you see it's the sort of phraseology 69 00:05:55,660 --> 00:05:56,720 we all use. 70 00:05:57,780 --> 00:06:00,140 I was talking to a lady this morning 71 00:06:00,140 --> 00:06:02,200 and we were both on our best behavior 72 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,220 and she was saying, do you know Mrs. 73 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:04,840 So-and-So? 74 00:06:04,900 --> 00:06:05,740 And I said, yes. 75 00:06:06,380 --> 00:06:08,420 She said, isn't she a lovely soul? 76 00:06:09,900 --> 00:06:12,000 And sometimes we use this, you see, but 77 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,520 we're using it for the fashion. 78 00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:17,100 She's not thinking about her soul at all. 79 00:06:17,700 --> 00:06:19,700 And we say, So-and-So, he's a 80 00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:20,580 nicely soul. 81 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,000 And we say, he's a good soul. 82 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,040 And we use this phraseology all the time 83 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,260 and we're talking about persons. 84 00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:33,780 Yes, I want you to get the hold 85 00:06:33,780 --> 00:06:34,260 of that. 86 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,500 Now I want you to get this into 87 00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:42,880 your mind that the Bible also uses this 88 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,060 sort of phraseology. 89 00:06:46,460 --> 00:06:49,540 And the Bible uses the word soul when 90 00:06:49,540 --> 00:06:50,580 it means person. 91 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,100 Believing that you would understand what it's about. 92 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:55,980 I assure you. 93 00:06:56,420 --> 00:06:58,540 Let's go to Acts chapter 2 for the 94 00:06:58,540 --> 00:06:58,940 moment. 95 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,880 And Acts chapter 2, it's the day of 96 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,240 Pentecost, isn't it? 97 00:07:06,020 --> 00:07:07,120 And Peter features. 98 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,440 And what a wonderful creature he was. 99 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,860 And he was filled this day with the 100 00:07:14,860 --> 00:07:15,560 Holy Ghost. 101 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:24,700 And you know, it says here, verse 40, 102 00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:29,180 coming to the end of the sermon, and 103 00:07:29,180 --> 00:07:32,520 with many other words did he testify and 104 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:38,860 exhort, saying, Feed yourselves from this untold generation. 105 00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:44,380 Verse 41 says, Then they that gladly received 106 00:07:44,380 --> 00:07:47,480 his words were baptized. 107 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,600 And I think you can see the facts 108 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:49,920 again. 109 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,460 I don't want to get on the baptism 110 00:07:51,460 --> 00:07:52,040 again. 111 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,700 They can't help it this year, isn't it? 112 00:07:57,020 --> 00:07:59,260 You don't want me to pass it, do 113 00:07:59,260 --> 00:07:59,500 you? 114 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,940 Then they that gladly received his words were 115 00:08:03,940 --> 00:08:04,580 baptized. 116 00:08:06,140 --> 00:08:07,320 They were believers. 117 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:08,960 They had received the message. 118 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,000 And the same day there were added unto 119 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,000 them about three thousand souls. 120 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,060 You don't think they were just souls either, 121 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:22,620 do you? 122 00:08:24,980 --> 00:08:28,160 I'll tell you, we are talking about real 123 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:28,780 people. 124 00:08:29,620 --> 00:08:32,679 People with names and people with ages. 125 00:08:33,380 --> 00:08:35,000 People of different sizes. 126 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,080 There were three thousand new members enter the 127 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,200 church that day. 128 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,040 And the word for the Jews. 129 00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:46,940 Jews did not such. 130 00:08:48,420 --> 00:08:51,440 And it's used a hundred times right through 131 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,080 the Old and New Testaments like that. 132 00:08:54,420 --> 00:08:56,400 Have a look at First Peter so you 133 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,240 can see it again. 134 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,800 First Peter, and we're not in the third 135 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:02,260 chapter. 136 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,020 First Peter, chapter three. 137 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,340 And the way down the chapter there. 138 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,740 Verse eighteen, to get the proper connection. 139 00:09:24,900 --> 00:09:29,160 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins 140 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:29,860 the just. 141 00:09:30,660 --> 00:09:33,120 For beyond just that he might bring us 142 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:33,700 to God. 143 00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:36,560 Being put to death in the flesh. 144 00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:39,840 But quickened by the Spirit. 145 00:09:39,980 --> 00:09:40,840 Capital S. 146 00:09:42,500 --> 00:09:44,660 By which also he went. 147 00:09:44,780 --> 00:09:47,200 It was by the Spirit he went and 148 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:47,600 preached. 149 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,640 Unto the spirits in prison. 150 00:09:51,140 --> 00:09:53,800 Which sometime were disobedient. 151 00:09:56,100 --> 00:09:58,640 When once the long suffering of God waited 152 00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,880 in the days of Noah. 153 00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:02,860 In case you're puzzled about this. 154 00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:06,700 The Lord went by the Spirit. 155 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,920 When the long suffering of God was waiting 156 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,740 in the days of Noah and preached. 157 00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:16,000 Don't think that they went to hell and 158 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,080 picked off a select few. 159 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,120 Oh I shall have to ask you why. 160 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,940 Which sometime were disobedient amongst the long suffering 161 00:10:25,940 --> 00:10:27,880 of God waited in the days of Noah. 162 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,220 And that's when it was done. 163 00:10:30,180 --> 00:10:32,120 When the ark was a-preparing. 164 00:10:32,660 --> 00:10:35,640 That in few, that is, eight souls were 165 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,120 saved. 166 00:10:37,260 --> 00:10:38,900 Those souls were there. 167 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,180 See the word being used, don't you? 168 00:10:43,420 --> 00:10:45,620 There were eight persons in there. 169 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,940 Yes and you see some of the boys 170 00:10:49,940 --> 00:10:52,480 who argue just turn these sorts of things 171 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:53,620 up and they say. 172 00:10:53,620 --> 00:10:58,080 They say the soul that sinneth shall surely 173 00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:58,560 die. 174 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,720 And it's the same thing again. 175 00:11:00,820 --> 00:11:02,400 It's the man that sinneth. 176 00:11:03,940 --> 00:11:06,000 And this is used for persons. 177 00:11:06,380 --> 00:11:08,980 And it's used a hundred times. 178 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,700 Oh you can multiply this right through. 179 00:11:13,020 --> 00:11:15,700 Look let me do it again for you. 180 00:11:16,340 --> 00:11:19,260 Have a look at Genesis 14 and we'll 181 00:11:19,260 --> 00:11:20,880 have to get on with the job then. 182 00:11:22,260 --> 00:11:23,700 Genesis 14. 183 00:11:29,170 --> 00:11:34,770 And you remember Abraham went to war in 184 00:11:34,770 --> 00:11:35,510 this chapter. 185 00:11:36,530 --> 00:11:38,450 And this is the first time we have 186 00:11:38,450 --> 00:11:41,590 the word war in this Bible of ours. 187 00:11:42,830 --> 00:11:45,210 And we don't want to follow that through. 188 00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:50,090 But when Abraham was returning from this war. 189 00:11:50,090 --> 00:11:53,070 And he had won the day because God 190 00:11:53,070 --> 00:11:53,890 helped him greatly. 191 00:11:54,290 --> 00:11:55,430 Verse 17. 192 00:11:56,410 --> 00:11:59,410 We're at Genesis 14 verse 17. 193 00:11:59,650 --> 00:12:01,750 And the king of Sodom went out to 194 00:12:01,750 --> 00:12:04,190 meet him after his return from the slaughter 195 00:12:04,190 --> 00:12:05,810 of Chedor Lamar. 196 00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:08,590 And of the kings that were with him 197 00:12:08,590 --> 00:12:11,130 at the valley of Shaddai, which is the 198 00:12:11,130 --> 00:12:11,910 king's dale. 199 00:12:11,910 --> 00:12:17,290 And Melchizedek, king of Shalom, brought forth bread 200 00:12:17,290 --> 00:12:17,930 and wine. 201 00:12:18,410 --> 00:12:20,390 And he was the priest of the Most 202 00:12:20,390 --> 00:12:20,990 High God. 203 00:12:21,070 --> 00:12:24,310 And he blessed him and said, Blessed be 204 00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:27,670 Abram of the Most High God, possessor of 205 00:12:27,670 --> 00:12:28,310 heaven and earth. 206 00:12:29,170 --> 00:12:31,330 And blessed be the Most High God which 207 00:12:31,330 --> 00:12:34,050 hath delivered thy enemies into thy hand. 208 00:12:34,750 --> 00:12:37,810 And he, that is Abraham, gave him tithe 209 00:12:37,810 --> 00:12:38,350 of all. 210 00:12:39,410 --> 00:12:43,070 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, 211 00:12:43,570 --> 00:12:47,830 Give me the persons and take the goods 212 00:12:47,830 --> 00:12:48,770 to thyself. 213 00:12:49,970 --> 00:12:52,230 Now do you see all the verses that 214 00:12:52,230 --> 00:12:54,470 I've looked up just up to this moment. 215 00:12:54,910 --> 00:12:57,970 In Acts 2 and over at Peter and 216 00:12:57,970 --> 00:12:59,070 a hundred more. 217 00:13:00,090 --> 00:13:01,730 It was the word souls. 218 00:13:01,730 --> 00:13:06,670 Well the same Hebrew word is translated here, 219 00:13:07,210 --> 00:13:07,310 persons. 220 00:13:08,890 --> 00:13:11,670 Actually one of the old translations says, give 221 00:13:11,670 --> 00:13:12,670 me the souls. 222 00:13:15,250 --> 00:13:17,730 Sometimes that sort of language is used. 223 00:13:19,830 --> 00:13:22,550 Now just because that sort of language is 224 00:13:22,550 --> 00:13:24,930 used, I don't think you can build a 225 00:13:24,930 --> 00:13:27,190 doctrine on that and say, well there's no 226 00:13:27,190 --> 00:13:28,250 such thing as souls. 227 00:13:28,410 --> 00:13:30,450 They're only persons, it's only man. 228 00:13:30,450 --> 00:13:32,590 I don't think you can do that. 229 00:13:33,410 --> 00:13:35,390 And I think this is the most dangerous 230 00:13:35,390 --> 00:13:37,210 thing in the world to do. 231 00:13:37,450 --> 00:13:39,910 Is to take something out of this book 232 00:13:39,910 --> 00:13:42,290 and try to build a doctrine on it 233 00:13:42,290 --> 00:13:44,770 without taking all the rest into consideration. 234 00:13:46,370 --> 00:13:50,910 I was preaching at Coleraine University all some 235 00:13:50,910 --> 00:13:51,730 years ago. 236 00:13:52,950 --> 00:13:56,210 And I preached on the power of prayer. 237 00:13:57,650 --> 00:14:03,250 And afterwards, one of the doctors there said 238 00:14:03,250 --> 00:14:08,820 to me, I don't like this too much. 239 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,640 Well I said, I don't mind whether you 240 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,240 like it or not, but I believe what 241 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:13,740 I said. 242 00:14:16,250 --> 00:14:18,050 He said, do you believe in predestination? 243 00:14:18,790 --> 00:14:19,810 I said, of course I do. 244 00:14:20,090 --> 00:14:21,290 He said, were you previous time? 245 00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:22,030 I said, yes. 246 00:14:22,910 --> 00:14:24,090 And what does that really mean? 247 00:14:24,090 --> 00:14:26,330 I said that before the hills and all 248 00:14:26,330 --> 00:14:29,430 the studor earth was filled with spring, God 249 00:14:29,430 --> 00:14:32,750 who foreknew everything could look down the ages 250 00:14:32,750 --> 00:14:36,230 and see me, and I was predestined to 251 00:14:36,230 --> 00:14:38,530 be conformed to the image of God's Son. 252 00:14:41,060 --> 00:14:43,060 He said, this is sovereign choices. 253 00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:44,000 I said, yes. 254 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,320 I was chosen in Christ before the foundation 255 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,040 of the world. 256 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,260 This is election, is it? 257 00:14:49,380 --> 00:14:49,660 Yes. 258 00:14:50,620 --> 00:14:52,000 He said, you see this is what I 259 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:52,500 believe. 260 00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:56,260 And I believe if God looked down, and 261 00:14:56,260 --> 00:14:59,880 he pleased his time, and he elected, and 262 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,380 you were chosen, then I don't think we 263 00:15:02,380 --> 00:15:04,340 need preaching, and I don't think we need 264 00:15:04,340 --> 00:15:04,740 prayer. 265 00:15:05,140 --> 00:15:06,940 You can work out the way God doesn't 266 00:15:06,940 --> 00:15:07,420 work out. 267 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:08,980 Oh, don't eat me all right. 268 00:15:10,700 --> 00:15:11,680 I said, no. 269 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:13,740 Where did you learn this? 270 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,440 Where did you learn about this, Frida? 271 00:15:18,340 --> 00:15:19,520 I learned it in the book. 272 00:15:21,630 --> 00:15:23,670 And in the book you didn't learn anything 273 00:15:23,670 --> 00:15:24,470 about prayer? 274 00:15:25,910 --> 00:15:27,050 Nothing at all. 275 00:15:28,010 --> 00:15:30,950 You didn't hear the Lord Jesus saying, may 276 00:15:30,950 --> 00:15:33,270 not all wish to pray, not to faint. 277 00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:34,210 You never heard that? 278 00:15:34,870 --> 00:15:38,130 You didn't hear Paul saying, you should pray 279 00:15:38,130 --> 00:15:39,070 without fainting? 280 00:15:41,310 --> 00:15:42,990 Oh, what jokes we have. 281 00:15:44,810 --> 00:15:47,790 Now, don't start then this joke of taking 282 00:15:47,790 --> 00:15:50,350 apart a leg and the rest out. 283 00:15:51,010 --> 00:15:51,830 It won't do. 284 00:15:53,390 --> 00:15:57,330 Now I know, I know already, that this 285 00:15:57,330 --> 00:15:59,570 word soul is through this book, and it's 286 00:15:59,570 --> 00:16:01,330 used the way we use it every day. 287 00:16:01,930 --> 00:16:03,830 When we say he's a good soul, or 288 00:16:03,830 --> 00:16:06,470 a nice soul, or she's a very sweet 289 00:16:06,470 --> 00:16:06,870 soul. 290 00:16:08,250 --> 00:16:09,670 Yes, it's for the person. 291 00:16:10,170 --> 00:16:11,490 I know all about that. 292 00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:14,770 Ah, but there's more in this book about 293 00:16:14,770 --> 00:16:15,190 that. 294 00:16:16,390 --> 00:16:19,150 And so then, I have to prove the 295 00:16:19,150 --> 00:16:19,750 reality. 296 00:16:19,750 --> 00:16:21,730 Let's have a look at that, the reality 297 00:16:21,730 --> 00:16:22,450 of the soul. 298 00:16:23,490 --> 00:16:26,650 Let's go over here, and find this. 299 00:16:28,210 --> 00:16:32,070 Let's have a look at Matthew's Gospel, chapter 300 00:16:32,070 --> 00:16:32,630 10. 301 00:16:34,470 --> 00:16:36,410 Matthew's Gospel, chapter 10. 302 00:16:39,910 --> 00:16:42,430 And our Lord Jesus here, in this tenth 303 00:16:42,430 --> 00:16:45,850 chapter, if you were to follow it, he's 304 00:16:45,850 --> 00:16:50,050 sending out his disciples, two by two, you 305 00:16:50,050 --> 00:16:52,330 know, and they're going out to preach, and 306 00:16:52,330 --> 00:16:56,450 he's warning them, they're going to come up 307 00:16:56,450 --> 00:17:02,050 against some stiff opposition, and he's telling them 308 00:17:02,050 --> 00:17:03,890 what not to fear. 309 00:17:05,210 --> 00:17:08,069 See verse 28, he said this to them, 310 00:17:09,589 --> 00:17:14,849 And fear not them which kill the body, 311 00:17:16,250 --> 00:17:19,130 but are not able to kill the soul. 312 00:17:20,869 --> 00:17:23,650 You just answer the questions now, that's all. 313 00:17:25,150 --> 00:17:28,510 Is our Lord Jesus differentiating between body and 314 00:17:28,510 --> 00:17:28,930 soul here? 315 00:17:29,030 --> 00:17:30,890 That's it, just answer the question, that's all. 316 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,640 So he believed that the body and soul 317 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:37,440 were different. 318 00:17:40,100 --> 00:17:42,880 He believed that there were men who would 319 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,180 be able to kill the body. 320 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,240 All that the devil murderers in our land 321 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,760 could do to me tonight would be to 322 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:51,380 kill the body. 323 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,940 Ha ha, they cannot kill the soul. 324 00:17:57,780 --> 00:18:00,460 I would think that that proves there's a 325 00:18:00,460 --> 00:18:01,060 difference. 326 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,020 We might use the word loosely, oh but 327 00:18:06,020 --> 00:18:08,560 our Lord Jesus is correcting things and will 328 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,880 need to take the whole Bible with us 329 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:11,380 one day. 330 00:18:12,580 --> 00:18:17,200 Look up the book of Revelation, and John 331 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:22,200 is seeing things in heaven, and seeing things 332 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,580 on earth at the same time. 333 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,720 It was a mighty revelation, when it's up 334 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:28,240 to six. 335 00:18:34,300 --> 00:18:37,300 And the chapter begins, And I saw when 336 00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:39,160 the Lamb opened one of the fields. 337 00:18:40,580 --> 00:18:43,600 And he's talking about this book that was 338 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,760 in heaven, that had the seven fields. 339 00:18:47,580 --> 00:18:50,120 And the Lamb that stood before the throne 340 00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:53,260 saw he's seeing things in heaven. 341 00:18:54,420 --> 00:18:57,340 But you see as he opened this book 342 00:18:57,340 --> 00:19:01,600 in heaven, certain things took place on earth. 343 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,400 You see, it says the way down in 344 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:11,460 the chapter there, verse nine, And then he 345 00:19:11,460 --> 00:19:13,800 hath opened the sixth field. 346 00:19:15,380 --> 00:19:19,700 I saw under the altar the souls of 347 00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:22,200 them that were slain for the word of 348 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:22,620 God. 349 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,640 I want you to get the hold of 350 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:26,940 this. 351 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,040 The bodies were slain. 352 00:19:30,700 --> 00:19:33,800 It's the enemy, was able to kill the 353 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:34,200 body. 354 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,620 They died on earth, men were taken as 355 00:19:37,620 --> 00:19:40,400 stand before the Antichrist and his forces. 356 00:19:41,380 --> 00:19:44,040 Oh, but he was determined to block those 357 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:44,700 people out. 358 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,200 And the bodies were slain. 359 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,980 Maybe the bodies were beheaded and you can 360 00:19:50,980 --> 00:19:52,960 see the body and the head lying. 361 00:19:53,980 --> 00:19:57,100 Oh, but the souls are under the altar 362 00:19:57,100 --> 00:19:57,720 in heaven. 363 00:19:59,660 --> 00:20:02,320 And there is no soul sleep about it. 364 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,000 These souls are talking. 365 00:20:06,140 --> 00:20:09,960 You see, he says, verse nine, And when 366 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,560 he had opened the fifth field, I saw 367 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,540 under the altar the souls of them that 368 00:20:14,540 --> 00:20:16,980 were slain by the word of God, and 369 00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:19,060 for the testimony which they held. 370 00:20:19,340 --> 00:20:21,500 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, 371 00:20:21,820 --> 00:20:24,040 How long, O Lord, holy and true! 372 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,700 Dost thou not judge and avenge our blood 373 00:20:26,700 --> 00:20:28,820 on them that dwell on the earth? 374 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,940 White robes were given unto every one of 375 00:20:31,940 --> 00:20:34,240 them, and it was said unto them that 376 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,200 they should rest. 377 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,680 Yet for a little season, until their fellow 378 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,320 servants also, and their brethren that should be 379 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:48,480 killed, of very well shall be fulfilled. 380 00:20:49,540 --> 00:20:51,540 And they're not killing people in heaven. 381 00:20:53,180 --> 00:20:55,360 Oh no, they were being killed on earth, 382 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,640 but the souls were under the altar in 383 00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:58,880 heaven. 384 00:20:59,260 --> 00:21:01,060 Oh, I think you can see the difference, 385 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:01,600 can't you? 386 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,280 I would have thought you could have seen 387 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:04,680 that. 388 00:21:05,580 --> 00:21:10,080 Have a look at 2 Corinthians, and we're 389 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,180 at chapter 12. 390 00:21:12,860 --> 00:21:15,480 And what a mighty chapter it is, and 391 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,820 what might he saying for here. 392 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,620 Yes, Paul is writing to the Corinthians. 393 00:21:28,740 --> 00:21:33,040 Verse one, It is not expedient for me, 394 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,440 doubtless to glory, I will come to visions 395 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,200 and revelations of the law. 396 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,980 I knew a man in Christ about fourteen 397 00:21:41,980 --> 00:21:42,720 years ago. 398 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,260 Whether in the body, I cannot tell. 399 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,920 Or whether out of the body, I cannot 400 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:52,300 tell. 401 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,800 So you can see the difference between in 402 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,320 the body and out of the body. 403 00:22:00,020 --> 00:22:01,740 But we'll come to it. 404 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,840 God knows such a man caught up to 405 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:05,600 the third heaven. 406 00:22:07,140 --> 00:22:09,580 And in case you would question what he 407 00:22:09,580 --> 00:22:10,820 said, he said it over again. 408 00:22:11,180 --> 00:22:13,460 I knew such a man, whether in the 409 00:22:13,460 --> 00:22:15,140 body or out of the body, I cannot 410 00:22:15,140 --> 00:22:17,480 tell God knows how he was caught up 411 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:18,520 into paradise. 412 00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:23,300 Now when he says, I knew a man 413 00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:25,540 in Christ about fourteen years ago. 414 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,100 If we can depend on the dates given 415 00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:36,220 us in the Bible and the chapters, on 416 00:22:36,220 --> 00:22:41,560 the chronological dates, if you measure back fourteen 417 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,940 years here, you'll go right back to the 418 00:22:45,940 --> 00:22:48,780 day when Paul was at Lystra. 419 00:22:50,260 --> 00:22:54,180 And you know, by preaching and gathering the 420 00:22:54,180 --> 00:22:57,060 clubs to listen to the gospel, the Jews 421 00:22:57,060 --> 00:22:57,760 were annoyed. 422 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,040 And they dragged him out of the city. 423 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:02,920 Stormed him. 424 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,000 And left him for dead. 425 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,140 Oh, they thought he was dead. 426 00:23:10,860 --> 00:23:13,220 I believe that was the day that the 427 00:23:13,220 --> 00:23:14,940 Lord took him out of the body. 428 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,200 Did you hear that? 429 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,340 Because God took him up to have a 430 00:23:24,340 --> 00:23:25,380 look round heaven. 431 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,840 And I can tell you if some of 432 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,720 the boys I know had had an experience 433 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,920 like this, they would have to put about 434 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,720 ten more pages in the telegraph this Saturday 435 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:39,180 night. 436 00:23:40,060 --> 00:23:44,940 Because they would have such wonderful things to 437 00:23:44,940 --> 00:23:45,420 say. 438 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,720 Oh, but Paul kept quiet about it. 439 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:51,980 Nightly experience. 440 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,720 You see, this will tell us this. 441 00:23:58,420 --> 00:24:02,140 That the real man can move out of 442 00:24:02,140 --> 00:24:02,760 the body. 443 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,260 You see, when Paul is talking about the 444 00:24:07,260 --> 00:24:11,040 death of a believer, he says for a 445 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:16,120 believer to die it is absence from the 446 00:24:16,120 --> 00:24:18,560 body presence of the Lord. 447 00:24:20,060 --> 00:24:22,740 Oh, I would wonder how you couldn't get 448 00:24:22,740 --> 00:24:23,580 this thing right. 449 00:24:24,740 --> 00:24:28,120 There's a vast difference between body and soul. 450 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,440 Yes, I think you can see the reality 451 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,060 this year. 452 00:24:34,380 --> 00:24:37,060 And I think you can see the trinality 453 00:24:37,060 --> 00:24:37,740 this year. 454 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,440 I don't need to go into all this 455 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:39,860 again. 456 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,420 Because men cannot kill the soul. 457 00:24:46,340 --> 00:24:49,460 Oh, we'll meet enemies on earth and some 458 00:24:49,460 --> 00:24:52,440 of the best men that ever walked in 459 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,400 shoe leather were burned at the stake. 460 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,180 Yes, men killed the body. 461 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,840 But they cannot kill the soul. 462 00:25:04,420 --> 00:25:04,880 Yes. 463 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,500 And John saw these souls after the body 464 00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:10,120 was slain. 465 00:25:11,660 --> 00:25:14,420 I want to touch on this personality of 466 00:25:14,420 --> 00:25:14,840 the soul. 467 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,520 You know, I think we'll hold on to 468 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:19,980 where we are here just for the moment. 469 00:25:20,180 --> 00:25:21,760 Whether in the body or out of the 470 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:22,840 body I cannot tell. 471 00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:26,760 You see, I would like to take this 472 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,340 to you just to comfort you because of 473 00:25:31,340 --> 00:25:33,640 loved ones that you have lost recently. 474 00:25:36,060 --> 00:25:40,220 And you know, you stood by while I 475 00:25:40,220 --> 00:25:42,260 came into the room the day of the 476 00:25:42,260 --> 00:25:46,840 funeral and stood by the coffin there and 477 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,920 your loved one was lying still. 478 00:25:50,180 --> 00:25:52,160 The body was dead. 479 00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,260 And you had tears in your eyes and 480 00:26:00,260 --> 00:26:04,540 great sorrow in your soul because because the 481 00:26:04,540 --> 00:26:05,700 loved one had gone. 482 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,840 Yes, he had departed. 483 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,100 That's the right word. 484 00:26:14,100 --> 00:26:15,480 Yes, he's out of the body. 485 00:26:18,070 --> 00:26:20,610 Now, if he was a believer let's get 486 00:26:20,610 --> 00:26:21,130 this bit. 487 00:26:21,750 --> 00:26:27,350 He was absent from the body get it 488 00:26:27,350 --> 00:26:30,890 now, present with the Lord. 489 00:26:32,250 --> 00:26:34,970 Oh, I could never expound that what it 490 00:26:34,970 --> 00:26:37,370 means to be present with the Lord to 491 00:26:37,370 --> 00:26:42,250 see Jesus to look on his wonderful face. 492 00:26:43,190 --> 00:26:46,850 Face is gone and now it's all by 493 00:26:46,850 --> 00:26:49,570 sight present with the Lord. 494 00:26:51,190 --> 00:26:54,190 I want you to get this that our 495 00:26:54,190 --> 00:26:57,170 loved ones who have left the body and 496 00:26:57,170 --> 00:27:00,410 are present with the Lord they don't know 497 00:27:00,410 --> 00:27:02,150 whether they're in the body or out of 498 00:27:02,150 --> 00:27:04,790 it out there just now. 499 00:27:07,210 --> 00:27:09,650 Of course, I was there all night I 500 00:27:09,650 --> 00:27:11,310 was caught up in it. 501 00:27:12,130 --> 00:27:13,750 Whether I was in the body or out 502 00:27:13,750 --> 00:27:14,810 of the body I don't know. 503 00:27:16,190 --> 00:27:17,110 That's what Mikey said. 504 00:27:18,810 --> 00:27:20,630 I guess we're walking about heaven. 505 00:27:22,670 --> 00:27:23,070 Yes. 506 00:27:24,690 --> 00:27:26,770 I'll tell you this is something we want 507 00:27:26,770 --> 00:27:29,670 to get into our minds and not talk 508 00:27:29,670 --> 00:27:30,870 a ghost, you know. 509 00:27:32,430 --> 00:27:35,050 No, they're fitted out for the place they 510 00:27:35,050 --> 00:27:38,250 are just now until the resurrection of this 511 00:27:38,250 --> 00:27:39,890 body because it will be raised. 512 00:27:41,630 --> 00:27:43,470 I want you to get that, you know. 513 00:27:45,010 --> 00:27:50,570 Let's go to 1 Kings chapter 17, 1st 514 00:27:50,570 --> 00:27:54,670 book of Kings and we're at chapter 17 515 00:27:54,670 --> 00:27:56,530 I think I must do this bit. 516 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,420 You know this is the story of Elijah 517 00:28:03,780 --> 00:28:07,600 and you remember that he walked into the 518 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:12,400 palace of King Ahab one day and told 519 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,720 them there would be no more rain but 520 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,060 according to my words big thing to say, 521 00:28:20,260 --> 00:28:23,360 you see it stayed the heavens by breath 522 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,840 and for three long years and six months 523 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,540 there was no rain and that certainly gave 524 00:28:30,540 --> 00:28:32,540 them a headache in the land of Palestine 525 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,840 and of course God hid them down at 526 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:42,160 the Brook Terrace for quite a while and 527 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,920 then God told them to go to Saripha 528 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:51,660 see verse 9 1 Kings 17 God's talking 529 00:28:51,660 --> 00:28:56,040 to Elijah said, Arise, get thee to Saripha 530 00:28:56,820 --> 00:29:00,540 which belongeth to Sidon way over on the 531 00:29:00,540 --> 00:29:04,920 coast there just near to where the battle 532 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,020 was the other day Tyre and Sidon, you 533 00:29:08,020 --> 00:29:12,640 know and dwell there behold I have commanded 534 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,700 a widow woman there to sustain me went 535 00:29:16,700 --> 00:29:19,840 away along to live with this widow woman 536 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,160 for a while and you know the story 537 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,640 of the handful of meal in the bowl 538 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,200 and you know it just never went on 539 00:29:30,980 --> 00:29:33,520 and then of course it came to pass 540 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,980 verse 17 it came to pass after these 541 00:29:37,980 --> 00:29:40,520 things that the son of the woman, the 542 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,680 mistress of the house fell sick and the 543 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,780 sickness was so sore that there was no 544 00:29:46,780 --> 00:29:50,600 breath left in him and she said unto 545 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,140 Elijah what have I to do with thee, 546 00:29:53,460 --> 00:29:56,560 O man of God art thou come unto 547 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,320 me to call my sin to remembrance and 548 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,740 to slay my son and you know we 549 00:30:02,740 --> 00:30:07,300 are always apt to get things wrong and 550 00:30:07,300 --> 00:30:10,400 we blame God and we blame the servants 551 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:15,260 of God it wasn't anything like that at 552 00:30:15,260 --> 00:30:19,720 all and he said unto her give me 553 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,860 thy son he took him out of her 554 00:30:21,860 --> 00:30:24,040 bosom and carried him up into a loft 555 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,640 where the abode and laid him upon his 556 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,440 own bed and he cried unto the Lord 557 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,840 and said O Lord my God hast thou 558 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,280 brought evil upon the widow with whom I 559 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,300 sojourned by slaying her son and sometimes the 560 00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:41,060 servants of God get it wrong too so 561 00:30:41,060 --> 00:30:43,920 you have to be very careful because you 562 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:49,240 can be wrong and he stretched himself upon 563 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,540 the child three times and cried unto the 564 00:30:51,540 --> 00:30:54,560 Lord and said O Lord my God our 565 00:30:54,560 --> 00:31:00,260 gravy let this child's soul come into him 566 00:31:00,260 --> 00:31:02,040 again and you are bound to see the 567 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,820 difference between body and soul here because the 568 00:31:06,820 --> 00:31:10,300 body is empty and he is dead let 569 00:31:10,300 --> 00:31:15,980 this child's soul or was the personality about 570 00:31:15,980 --> 00:31:22,640 soul you know was this child's soul you 571 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,880 know when our Lord Jesus is rebuking the 572 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,980 world he says you know it's possible to 573 00:31:27,980 --> 00:31:32,300 gain the whole world what will it profit 574 00:31:32,300 --> 00:31:34,020 a man if he gain the whole world 575 00:31:34,020 --> 00:31:39,260 and lose his own, his own soul ah 576 00:31:39,260 --> 00:31:45,700 yes there is a personality about it let's 577 00:31:45,700 --> 00:31:49,840 get that bit settled and there is a 578 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,900 capability about the soul let's look at Luke's 579 00:31:53,900 --> 00:31:58,260 gospel chapter 1 I think this is one 580 00:31:58,260 --> 00:32:00,600 of the nicest things in the scriptures of 581 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:10,570 course Luke's gospel chapter 1 and the angel 582 00:32:10,570 --> 00:32:15,670 came to the blessed virgin Mary here and 583 00:32:15,670 --> 00:32:17,850 announced to her that she was to be 584 00:32:17,850 --> 00:32:21,030 the mother of the Messiah and she agreed 585 00:32:21,030 --> 00:32:26,650 to this look how lovely she said this 586 00:32:26,650 --> 00:32:30,930 verse 38 Mary said behold the hands made 587 00:32:30,930 --> 00:32:33,010 of the Lord be it unto me according 588 00:32:33,010 --> 00:32:36,230 to thy words the angel departed from her 589 00:32:36,230 --> 00:32:38,350 she is going to be the mother of 590 00:32:38,350 --> 00:32:42,130 the Messiah no matter what people think and 591 00:32:42,130 --> 00:32:44,210 Mary arose in those days and went into 592 00:32:44,210 --> 00:32:46,530 the hill country with haste into the city 593 00:32:46,530 --> 00:32:48,870 of Judah and entered into the house of 594 00:32:48,870 --> 00:32:52,990 Zechariah and saluted Elizabeth and it came to 595 00:32:52,990 --> 00:32:56,310 pass that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of 596 00:32:56,310 --> 00:33:00,390 Mary the bead leaked in her womb that 597 00:33:00,390 --> 00:33:06,610 was Elizabeth's babe John the Baptist and Elizabeth 598 00:33:06,610 --> 00:33:09,310 was filled with the Holy Ghost and she 599 00:33:09,310 --> 00:33:11,430 spake out with a loud voice and said 600 00:33:11,430 --> 00:33:14,890 blessed art thou among women and blessed is 601 00:33:14,890 --> 00:33:17,210 the fruit of thy womb and whence is 602 00:33:17,210 --> 00:33:19,030 this to me that the mother of my 603 00:33:19,030 --> 00:33:20,890 Lord should come to me she had no 604 00:33:20,890 --> 00:33:25,470 doubts at all

for joy oh we are not able to 608 00:33:35,650 --> 00:33:40,230 follow this of course but this is truth 609 00:33:40,230 --> 00:33:45,190 you know that John the Baptist yet unborn 610 00:33:45,190 --> 00:33:51,570 leaked for joy of the salutation can't understand 611 00:33:51,570 --> 00:33:56,090 it but I believe it now we come 612 00:33:56,090 --> 00:34:03,090 to Mary and Mary said my soul does 613 00:34:03,090 --> 00:34:05,850 magnify the Lord wants you to get the 614 00:34:05,850 --> 00:34:09,370 hold of that now because you see we 615 00:34:09,370 --> 00:34:11,610 don't only want to get

at the capability of the soul now 619 00:34:18,670 --> 00:34:22,710 and you know the soul can magnify the 620 00:34:22,710 --> 00:34:28,270 Lord of course we know that the soul 621 00:34:28,270 --> 00:34:33,370 can long yes David talks about the Lord 622 00:34:33,370 --> 00:34:40,570 satisfying the longing soul and Solomon talks about 623 00:34:40,570 --> 00:34:45,790 God will make shut the liberal soul and 624 00:34:45,790 --> 00:34:50,449 you remember that God vexed his righteous soul 625 00:34:50,449 --> 00:34:53,949 from day to day because the soul is 626 00:34:53,949 --> 00:34:59,150 capable of love and hate and joy and 627 00:34:59,150 --> 00:35:03,170 so on and you can see the capabilities 628 00:35:03,170 --> 00:35:06,610 can't you you see maybe one is a 629

and my spirit 632 00:35:16,770 --> 00:35:21,710 and she differentiates between soul and spirit and 633 00:35:21,710 --> 00:35:25,270 my spirit rejoiced in God my Saviour and 634 00:35:25,270 --> 00:35:27,290 if you take the Blessed Virgin Mary at 635 00:35:27,290 --> 00:35:31,810 that point God has got her body and 636 00:35:31,810 --> 00:35:34,490 God has got her soul and God has 637

00:40:23,660 --> 00:40:33,560 Hebrews chapter 6 Hebrews 6 this is a 706 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,120 passage you should get into your mind and 707 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:40,020 never forget I think you'll be thrilled with 708 00:40:40,020 --> 00:40:41,660 this when you get the hold of it 709 00:40:43,030 --> 00:40:50,190 verse 13 Hebrews chapter 6 verse 13 Oh 710 00:40:50,190 --> 00:40:54,850 when God made promise to Abraham because he 711 00:40:54,850 --> 00:40:57,390 could swear by no greater he swore by 712 00:40:57,390 --> 00:41:01,090 himself you know that was a big thing 713 00:41:01,090 --> 00:41:04,650 wasn't it you know you think that the 714 00:41:04,650 --> 00:41:06,530 promise of God would be thought of and 715 00:41:06,530 --> 00:41:10,990 that's if God promised you something oh God 716 00:41:10,990 --> 00:41:14,170 didn't only promise him when God made the 717 00:41:14,170 --> 00:41:19,830 promise he swore by himself see if I 718 00:41:19,830 --> 00:41:22,830 have to go to court and I have 719 00:41:22,830 --> 00:41:24,930 to take an oath and I know the 720 00:41:24,930 --> 00:41:27,030 law allows me to do without doing it 721 00:41:27,030 --> 00:41:28,630 I can either do it or not do 722 00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:31,430 it but I will do it and I 723 00:41:31,430 --> 00:41:36,150 will say I swear by almighty God that 724 00:41:36,150 --> 00:41:38,310 the evidence I shall give to this court 725 00:41:38,310 --> 00:41:40,390 shall be the truth the whole truth and 726 00:41:40,390 --> 00:41:44,430 nothing but the truth and I'm on oath 727 00:41:44,430 --> 00:41:50,620 now and you see it doesn't really matter 728 00:41:50,620 --> 00:41:54,200 these days because there are boys just say 729 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,880 this goodly and it doesn't mean a thing 730 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,860 to them and the evidence they give doesn't 731 00:42:00,860 --> 00:42:02,680 mean a thing either because half of it 732 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:07,920 lies oh but when God made promise and 733 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:12,960 when God took an oath oh it's got 734 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:17,960 a double something hasn't it and so God 735 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,340 made promise and then God swore by himself 736 00:42:21,340 --> 00:42:25,940 saying surely blessing I will bless thee and 737 00:42:25,940 --> 00:42:30,280 multiplying I will multiply thee and so after 738 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:35,040 he Abraham had waited had patiently endured he 739 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,580 had seen the promise when God promises you 740 00:42:38,580 --> 00:42:40,940 can depend he will fulfil it sooner or 741 00:42:40,940 --> 00:42:44,520 later when it pleases him for men verily 742 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:48,100 swear by the greater we always if we're 743 00:42:48,100 --> 00:42:50,160 taken an oath we swear by the greater 744 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:54,520 I swear by God and an oath for 745 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:59,820 confirmation the oath should confirm the thing and 746 00:42:59,820 --> 00:43:02,260 that brings an end of all strife at 747 00:43:02,260 --> 00:43:04,960 least it used to do maybe not now 748 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:10,140 wherein God willing more abundantly does so want 749 00:43:10,140 --> 00:43:12,740 in the years of promise the immutability of 750 00:43:12,740 --> 00:43:17,000 his counsel confirmed it by an oath that 751 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:22,080 by two immutable things you see when God 752 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,780 speaks and promises for he's not like a 753 00:43:25,780 --> 00:43:28,460 sorrow standing in the witness box you know 754 00:43:28,460 --> 00:43:33,140 it's impossible for him to lie and that 755 00:43:33,140 --> 00:43:36,260 should be quite enough but there are two 756 00:43:36,260 --> 00:43:41,280 immutable things here it's impossible for him to 757 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,880 break his own oath isn't it so this 758 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,740 is a pretty steadfast foundation the God that 759 00:43:49,740 --> 00:43:52,220 cannot lie and the God who cannot break 760 00:43:52,220 --> 00:43:56,420 his oath so Abraham was pretty secure with 761 00:43:56,420 --> 00:44:00,900 his promise wherein God willing more abundantly does 762 00:44:00,900 --> 00:44:02,540 so want in the years of promise the 763 00:44:02,540 --> 00:44:05,420 immutability of his counsel confirmed it by an 764 00:44:05,420 --> 00:44:09,300 oath that by two immutable things in which 765 00:44:09,300 --> 00:44:13,740 it was impossible for God to lie now 766 00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:16,720 the whole thing switches from Abraham to us 767 00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:21,880 now because God makes promises to us we 768 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,940 might have a strong consolation who have fled 769 00:44:25,940 --> 00:44:31,140 for refuge do you remember fleeing for refuge 770 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,820 oh I remember when I was a drunkard 771 00:44:35,820 --> 00:44:37,620 and when I was down and out and 772 00:44:37,620 --> 00:44:42,520 when nobody had any hope for me I 773 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:46,240 heard the gospel that God loved a thing 774 00:44:46,240 --> 00:44:48,640 like me and sent his son and Christ 775 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,460 died and rose again and if I would 776 00:44:52,460 --> 00:44:54,960 come to him I would get everlasting life 777 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:59,800 and I would get pardon and peace and 778 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:07,560 I fled for refuge remember the day yes 779 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,880 that we might have a strong consolation who 780 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,220 have fled for refuge to lay hold upon 781 00:45:14,220 --> 00:45:17,460 the hope set before us because God's word 782 00:45:17,460 --> 00:45:20,360 and God's oath gives us a greater which 783 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,560 hope we have of an anchor of the 784 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:27,540 soul this is the bitter last this soul 785 00:45:27,540 --> 00:45:31,180 of mine's got an anchor this for me 786 00:45:31,180 --> 00:45:35,280 isn't it most sure and steadfast which entereth 787 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,940 into that within the veil oh this anchor 788 00:45:39,940 --> 00:45:43,900 of my soul is within the veil tonight 789 00:45:44,940 --> 00:45:48,060 where the forerunner is for us entered even 790 00:45:48,060 --> 00:45:51,600 Jesus this word forerunner is a great one 791 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:56,000 because this is an old gnocchi culture belongs 792 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,280 to the sea and sea-faring men you 793 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,240 know if you sometimes look at the map 794 00:46:02,240 --> 00:46:07,060 and you see the Aegean Sea there you 795 00:46:07,060 --> 00:46:09,940 will find that it goes right up there 796 00:46:09,940 --> 00:46:12,740 and you will find Asia Minor on this 797 00:46:12,740 --> 00:46:16,100 side and you will find that Philippi and 798 00:46:16,100 --> 00:46:18,460 Perthelonia and all the rest are on the 799 00:46:18,460 --> 00:46:21,100 other side but you will find that these 800 00:46:21,100 --> 00:46:24,020 little harbors that were there in those days 801 00:46:24,020 --> 00:46:27,580 they had a very narrow little entrance into 802 00:46:27,580 --> 00:46:30,380 the harbor you know that the harbor is 803 00:46:30,380 --> 00:46:33,500 a sort of square wall in there and 804 00:46:33,500 --> 00:46:36,040 there's deep water and then there's just a 805 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:41,540 little narrow entrance from the sea and it's 806 00:46:41,540 --> 00:46:47,530 very difficult to find in the fog Portobogli 807 00:46:47,530 --> 00:46:49,650 harbor was like this once upon a time 808 00:46:49,650 --> 00:46:51,310 when I used to go fishing with the 809 00:46:51,310 --> 00:46:55,850 Portobogli fishermen and if you were coming in 810 00:46:55,850 --> 00:46:57,910 in a dense fog you couldn't see the 811 00:46:57,910 --> 00:47:00,390 lights of Portobogli and you couldn't see anything 812 00:47:01,790 --> 00:47:04,170 but the old fellow that I sailed with 813 00:47:04,170 --> 00:47:08,830 was called Tommy Orr Captain Tommy Orr and 814 00:47:08,830 --> 00:47:11,770 there's a rock lying out off Portobogli it 815 00:47:11,770 --> 00:47:15,550 may be about 3 miles up I don't 816 00:47:15,550 --> 00:47:18,250 know, it may be 5 it's called the 817 00:47:18,250 --> 00:47:20,330 Bear Rock there's a bell on it you 818 00:47:20,330 --> 00:47:23,790 Portobogli foot know this and the old fisherman 819 00:47:23,790 --> 00:47:25,890 coming up from there you see many a 820 00:47:25,890 --> 00:47:27,490 time I was in the bridge with him 821 00:47:28,570 --> 00:47:31,030 and he always dropped the boat to the 822 00:47:31,030 --> 00:47:34,210 Bear Rock just that he could almost just 823 00:47:34,210 --> 00:47:36,010 know the rock was there and he could 824 00:47:36,010 --> 00:47:39,150 hear the bell now he would slow the 825 00:47:39,150 --> 00:47:42,130 engine down to a certain speed now he 826 00:47:42,130 --> 00:47:44,950 would set the compass at a certain angle 827 00:47:45,990 --> 00:47:49,410 now he would time the watch and he 828 00:47:49,410 --> 00:47:51,470 knew from the speed of the boat from 829 00:47:51,470 --> 00:47:55,010 the run of the tide he knew that 830 00:47:55,010 --> 00:47:57,950 he would be at the little narrow entrance 831 00:47:58,830 --> 00:48:03,350 in about 35 minutes he used to say 832 00:48:03,350 --> 00:48:06,010 to me now just watch the watch he 833 00:48:06,010 --> 00:48:07,690 had her going the right road he knew 834 00:48:07,690 --> 00:48:09,110 about that he had her going at the 835 00:48:09,110 --> 00:48:12,210 right speed and you know I would never 836 00:48:12,210 --> 00:48:15,630 see the walls of the harbour coming but 837 00:48:15,630 --> 00:48:18,350 he would say to me go over to 838 00:48:18,350 --> 00:48:21,030 the side now and if I'd hit the 839 00:48:21,030 --> 00:48:22,870 side of the boat the wall would pass 840 00:48:22,870 --> 00:48:26,390 me there the little narrow entrance and he 841 00:48:26,390 --> 00:48:30,230 was a masterpiece at this all the men 842 00:48:30,230 --> 00:48:32,610 said well nobody could do this the great 843 00:48:32,610 --> 00:48:35,750 Tommy Orr could do it now in the 844 00:48:35,750 --> 00:48:42,350 old harbour down in the deep waters there 845 00:48:42,350 --> 00:48:47,430 the little narrow entrance had another problem you 846 00:48:47,430 --> 00:48:51,070 see the sand gathered in there the tides 847 00:48:51,070 --> 00:48:54,910 brought up sand and then when the tide 848 00:48:54,910 --> 00:48:56,670 was out when the boat was coming at 849 00:48:56,670 --> 00:49:00,070 low tide it couldn't get over that sand 850 00:49:00,070 --> 00:49:03,490 barrier it had to lie out for maybe 851 00:49:03,490 --> 00:49:06,450 so many hours till the tide came back 852 00:49:06,450 --> 00:49:09,510 again oh but this is what they did 853 00:49:09,510 --> 00:49:11,670 they left the ship out here they put 854 00:49:11,670 --> 00:49:15,010 a little flat bottom boat down there and 855 00:49:15,010 --> 00:49:16,990 they put the anchor of the ship in 856 00:49:16,990 --> 00:49:19,650 the boat and the man in the boat 857 00:49:19,650 --> 00:49:23,750 is called the forerunner and he takes this 858 00:49:23,750 --> 00:49:28,190 flat boat in on in and this flat 859 00:49:28,190 --> 00:49:32,490 bottom boat goes over this sand barrier and 860 00:49:32,490 --> 00:49:35,590 he goes right into the harbour within the 861 00:49:35,590 --> 00:49:39,370 hole if you like and he drops the 862 00:49:39,370 --> 00:49:44,210 anchor in there then they tell the sleeping 863 00:49:44,210 --> 00:49:49,130 tonight that the anchor of my soul is 864 00:49:49,130 --> 00:49:53,430 within the veil the forerunner is in and 865 00:49:53,430 --> 00:49:57,430 he has taken it in with him don't 866
