[1213.62 --> 1215.56] As he worshipped in a temple. |
[1216.32 --> 1220.18] And that could be the referent for verse 14 of our text, right? |
[1220.44 --> 1221.18] Where it says, |
[1221.40 --> 1224.16] With his own spear you pierced his head. |
[1225.28 --> 1225.52] Right? |
[1225.56 --> 1227.68] An enemy of God killed by his own sons. |
[1227.84 --> 1230.20] With his own spear you pierced his head. |
[1230.64 --> 1231.56] Either way, |
[1231.74 --> 1234.12] what you see in the grand scheme of things |
[1234.12 --> 1236.40] and the big drama that is redemption |
[1236.40 --> 1238.72] focused here through the people of Israel |
[1238.72 --> 1241.26] Israel is that Pharaoh received justice. |
[1241.46 --> 1243.90] God protected and provided for David |
[1243.90 --> 1246.06] and Sennacherib knew punishment. |
[1246.50 --> 1246.62] Right? |
[1246.70 --> 1247.68] And so, too, |
[1248.04 --> 1250.06] will Judah in Habakkuk's day. |
[1250.60 --> 1250.76] Right? |
[1250.80 --> 1253.00] The unjust leaders of Judah |
[1253.00 --> 1254.96] and from the temple and religious system |
[1254.96 --> 1257.58] will face justice from God |
[1257.58 --> 1259.38] in the form of exile to Babylon. |
[1259.38 --> 1260.76] And then greater still, |
[1260.92 --> 1261.28] Babylon, |
[1261.56 --> 1262.88] used as an instrument of God's tool, |
[1262.98 --> 1266.40] will face justice in the form of Cyrus the Persian. |
[1266.86 --> 1267.12] Right? |
[1267.20 --> 1269.48] Down and down it goes through history. |
[1269.62 --> 1271.18] God guiding the way |
[1271.18 --> 1274.80] to reveal his plan and purpose of redemption. |
[1275.20 --> 1275.44] You see, |
[1275.54 --> 1277.24] we may not know the details, |
[1277.24 --> 1280.48] but we have it even better |
[1280.48 --> 1283.20] because we know the God |
[1283.20 --> 1284.90] who controls the details. |
[1286.58 --> 1288.54] I think about the story, right? |
[1288.74 --> 1289.76] Consider Joseph. |
[1290.12 --> 1290.84] Joseph, who, |
[1291.12 --> 1292.34] as a young man, |
[1292.50 --> 1293.80] a pretty arrogant young man, |
[1293.92 --> 1294.14] sure, |
[1294.28 --> 1296.42] was beaten and abused |
[1296.42 --> 1297.82] and left for dead |
[1297.82 --> 1299.40] but then sold into slavery |
[1299.40 --> 1300.52] by his brothers. |
[1301.24 --> 1301.56] Joseph, |
[1301.72 --> 1302.86] who was falsely accused |
[1302.86 --> 1303.76] of horrible crimes |
[1303.76 --> 1304.68] and thrown into prison |
[1304.68 --> 1306.62] and sat there for years |
[1306.62 --> 1308.90] Joseph, |
[1309.12 --> 1309.36] who, |
[1310.50 --> 1312.18] when he finally got to meet his brothers, |
[1313.32 --> 1313.78] said, |
[1314.34 --> 1316.34] what you intended for evil, |
[1316.94 --> 1319.10] God intended for good. |
[1319.84 --> 1321.14] I think of Job, right? |
[1321.22 --> 1321.46] Job, |
[1321.56 --> 1323.28] who lost everything, |
[1324.26 --> 1324.40] right? |
[1324.48 --> 1324.76] Job, |
[1324.86 --> 1326.92] who struggled in innumerable |
[1326.92 --> 1328.82] and immeasurable ways |
[1328.82 --> 1329.44] and still, |
[1329.58 --> 1331.04] after all of that struggling, |
[1331.46 --> 1331.78] said, |
[1331.90 --> 1334.10] I know that you can do all things, |
[1334.10 --> 1336.58] that no plan of yours can be thwarted. |
[1337.62 --> 1338.82] Or to think of Paul, |
[1338.92 --> 1340.54] who we've already made reference to, |
[1340.98 --> 1341.12] who, |
[1341.24 --> 1341.46] Paul, |
[1341.58 --> 1344.02] who regularly faced death, |
[1344.14 --> 1345.60] who regularly stood opposed |
[1345.60 --> 1346.30] to the religious |
[1346.30 --> 1348.34] and political authorities, |
[1348.34 --> 1349.04] who says, |
[1349.50 --> 1349.74] no, |
[1350.00 --> 1351.30] in all things |
[1351.30 --> 1353.02] we are more than conquerors |
[1353.02 --> 1353.66] through him |
[1353.66 --> 1355.08] who loved us. |
[1355.14 --> 1356.12] For I am convinced |
[1356.12 --> 1356.94] that neither death |
[1356.94 --> 1357.70] nor life, |
[1357.78 --> 1358.72] neither angels nor demons, |
[1358.84 --> 1359.54] neither the present |
[1359.54 --> 1360.14] nor the future, |
[1360.22 --> 1361.38] nor any powers, |
[1361.66 --> 1362.74] neither height nor depth, |
[1362.74 --> 1363.32] nor anything |
[1363.32 --> 1364.30] in all creation, |
[1364.50 --> 1366.14] will be able to separate us |
[1366.14 --> 1367.18] from the love of God |
[1367.18 --> 1367.82] that is available |
[1367.82 --> 1368.84] in Christ Jesus, |
[1369.32 --> 1369.88] our Lord. |
[1371.54 --> 1373.68] Just because you don't understand it |
[1373.68 --> 1375.88] doesn't mean it's not there. |
[1377.98 --> 1379.10] God is able to take |
