1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:11,240
Jeremiah chapter 52 The Fall of 
Jerusalem recounted Zedekiah was

2
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,320
21 years old when he became 
king. 

3
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,680
He reigned 11 years in 
Jerusalem. 

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,720
His mother's name was Hamudul, 
the daughter of Jeremiah of 

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,240
Libna. 
And he did what was evil in the 

6
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:25,200
sight of the Lord, according to 
all that Jehoiakim had done. 

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,160
For before of the anger of the 
Lord, it came to the point in 

8
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,600
Jerusalem and Judah that he cast
them out of his presence. 

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,680
And Zedekiah rebeled against the
king of Babylon. 

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,000
And in the ninth year of his 
reign, in the 10th month, on the

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,200
10th day of the month, 
Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon,

12
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:46,440
came with all his army against 
Jerusalem, and laid siege to it.

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,920
And they built siege works all 
around it. 

14
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:52,520
So the city was besieged till 
the 11th year of King Zedekiah. 

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,800
On the 9th day of the fourth 
month. 

16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,680
The famine was so severe in the 
land that there was no food for 

17
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,360
the people of the land. 
Then a breach was made in the 

18
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,239
city, and all the men of war 
fled and went out from the city 

19
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:09,320
by night by the way of a gate 
between the two walls by the 

20
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:11,480
King's garden. 
And the Chaldeans were around 

21
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,480
the city, and they went into the
direction of the Araba. 

22
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,080
But the army of the Chaldeans 
pursued the king and overtook 

23
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,280
Zedekiah in the plains of 
Jericho, and all his army was 

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,120
scattered from him. 
Then they captured the king and 

25
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,440
brought him up to the king of 
Babylon at Ribla in the land of 

26
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,680
Hemeth, and he passed sentence 
on him. 

27
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,560
The king of Babylon slaughtered 
the sons of Zedekiah before his 

28
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,240
eyes, and also slaughtered all 
the officials of Judah at Ribla.

29
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,160
He put out the eyes of Zedekiah 
and bound him in chains, and the

30
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,800
king of Babylon took him to 
Babylon and put him in prison 

31
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:51,120
till the day of his death. 
The temple burned in the 5th 

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,040
month, on the 10th day of the 
month. 

33
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,880
That was the 19th year of King 
Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon.

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,920
Nebu Zardan, the captain of the 
bodyguard who served the king of

35
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,000
Babylon, entered Jerusalem, and 
he burned the House of the Lord 

36
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,080
and the King's house, and all 
the houses of Jerusalem. 

37
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,320
Every great house he burned 
down, and all the army of the 

38
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,520
Chaldeans were with. 
The captain of the guard broke 

39
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,720
down all the walls around 
Jerusalem. 

40
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,600
And Nebu Zaradon, the captain of
the guard, carried away captive 

41
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,640
some of the poorest of the 
people and the rest of the 

42
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:27,680
people who were left in the 
city, and the deserters who had 

43
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,320
deserted to the king of Babylon,
together with the rest of the 

44
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,160
artisans. 
But Nebu Zaradon, the captain of

45
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,080
the guard, left some of the 
poorest of the land to be vine 

46
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,200
dressers and ploughmen, and the 
pillars of bronze that were in 

47
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,560
the House of the Lord, and the 
stands and the bronze sea that 

48
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,920
were in the House of the Lord. 
The Chaldeans broken pieces and 

49
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:48,760
carried all the bronze to 
Babylon. 

50
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,640
And they took away the pots and 
the shovels and the snuffers, 

51
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:54,000
and the basins and the dishes 
for incense. 

52
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,000
And all the vessels of bronze 
were used in the temple service.

53
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,760
Also the small bowls and the 
fire pans and the basins and the

54
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,720
pots and the lampstands and the 
dishes for incense and the bowls

55
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,840
for drink offerings. 
What was of gold the captain of 

56
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,880
the guard took away as gold, and
what was of silver as silver. 

57
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,840
As for the two pillars, the one 
sea, the 12 bronze bowls that 

58
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,360
were under the sea, and the 
stands which Solomon the king 

59
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,680
had made for the House of the 
Lord, the bronze of all these 

60
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,600
things was beyond weight. 
As for the pillars, the height 

61
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,960
of the one pillar was 18 cubits,
its circumference was 12 cubits,

62
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,480
and its thickness was four 
fingers and it was hollow. 

63
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,400
On it was a capital of bronze. 
The height of the one capital 

64
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,480
was 5 cubits. 
A network and pomegranates all 

65
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,720
of bronze were around the 
capital, and the second pillar 

66
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,280
had the same with pomegranates. 
There were 96 pomegranates on 

67
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,000
the sides. 
All the pomegranates were 100 

68
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,200
upon the network all around the 
people exiled to Babylon. 

69
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,440
And the captain of the guard 
took Soraya the chief priest, 

70
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,680
and Zephaniah the second priest,
and the three keepers of the 

71
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,840
threshold. 
And from the city he took an 

72
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,120
officer who had been in command 
of the men of war, and seven men

73
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,520
of the King's council who were 
found in the city, and the 

74
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,200
secretary of the commander of 
the army who mustered the people

75
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,240
of the land, and sixty men of 
the people of the land who were 

76
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,040
found in the midst of the city. 
And Nebu Zaradon, the captain of

77
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,360
the guard, took them and brought
them to the king of Babylon at 

78
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,680
Ribla. 
And the king of Babylon struck 

79
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,160
them down and put them to death 
at Ribla in the land of Hameth. 

80
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,080
So Judah was taken into exile 
out of its land. 

81
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,800
This is the number of the people
whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away

82
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,320
captive in the 7th year 3023 
Judeans. 

83
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,120
In the 18th year of 
Nebuchadnezzar, he carried away 

84
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,400
captive from Jerusalem 832 
persons. 

85
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,760
In the 23rd year of 
Nebuchadnezzar, Nebu Zardan, the

86
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,560
captain of the guard, carried 
away captive of the Judeans 745 

87
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,240
persons. 
All the persons were 4600 

88
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:13,480
Jehoiakim released from prison, 
and in the 37th year of the 

89
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,920
exile of Jehoiakin king of 
Judah, in the 12th month. 

90
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,840
And on the 25th day of the month
evil Maroda, king of Babylon, in

91
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:26,000
the year that he began to reign,
graciously freed Jehoiakin king 

92
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,160
of Judah, and brought him out of
prison. 

93
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,600
And he spoke kindly to him and 
gave him a seat above the seats 

94
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,960
of the kings who were with him 
in Babylon. 

95
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,080
So Jehoiakin put off his prison 
garments, and every day of his 

96
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,640
life he dined regularly at the 
King's table, and for his 

97
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,920
allowance a regular allowance 
was given to him by the king 

98
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:49,160
according to his daily needs 
until the day of his death, as 

99
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:54,960
long as he lived. 
Titus chapter 1. 

100
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:01,480
Greeting Paul, a servant of God 
and an apostle of Jesus Christ, 

101
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,840
for the sake of the faith of 
God's elect in their knowledge 

102
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:08,600
of the truth which accords with 
godliness, in hope of eternal 

103
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:13,480
life, which God, who never lies 
promised before the ages began 

104
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:16,480
and at the proper time 
manifested in His Word. 

105
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,880
Through the preaching with which
I have been entrusted by the 

106
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,400
command of God our Savior to 
Titus, my true child, in a 

107
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,040
common faith, grace and peace 
from God the Father and Christ 

108
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:35,200
Jesus our Savior. 
Qualifications for elders This 

109
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,920
is why I left you in Crete, so 
that you might put what remained

110
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,400
into order and appoint elders in
every town as I directed you. 

111
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,680
If anyone is above reproach, the
husband of one wife and his 

112
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,560
children are believers and not 
open to the charge of debauchery

113
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,840
or insubordination. 
For an overseer as God, Stuart 

114
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,200
must be above reproach. 
He must not be arrogant or quick

115
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,280
tempered or drunkard, or 
violent, or greedy for gain, but

116
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:08,760
hospitable, a lover of good, 
self controlled, upright, holy 

117
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,280
and discipline. 
He must hold firm the 

118
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,440
trustworthy word as taught, so 
that he may be able to give 

119
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,240
instruction in sound doctrine 
and also to rebuke those who 

120
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,360
contradict it. 
For there are many men who are 

121
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,560
insubordinate, empty talkers and
deceivers, especially those of 

122
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,120
the circumcision party. 
They must be silenced, since 

123
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,080
they are upsetting whole 
families by teaching for 

124
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,840
shameful gain what they ought 
not to teach. 

125
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,520
One of the Cretans, a prophet of
their own, said Cretans are 

126
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,240
always liars, evil beast, lazy 
gluttons. 

127
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,360
This testimony is true. 
Therefore rebuke them sharply 

128
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,280
that they may be sound in the 
faith, not devoting themselves 

129
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,080
to Jewish myths and the commands
of people who turn away from the

130
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,120
truth to the pure. 
All things are pure to the 

131
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,520
defiled and unbelieving. 
Nothing is pure, but both their 

132
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,600
minds and their consciences are 
defiled. 

133
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,840
They profess to know God, but 
they deny Him by their works. 

134
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,040
They are detestable, 
disobedient, unfit for any good 

135
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:22,840
work. 
Proverbs, chapter 10, Verses one

136
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,040
through 10. 
The Proverbs of Solomon. 

137
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,680
The Proverbs of Solomon A wise 
man makes a glad father, but a 

138
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,200
foolish son is a sorrow to his 
mother. 

139
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,240
Treasures gained by wickedness 
do not profit, but righteousness

140
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,080
delivers from death. 
The Lord does not let the 

141
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,520
righteous go hungry, but he 
thwarts the craving of the 

142
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,000
wicked. 
A slack hand causes poverty, but

143
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,920
the hand of the diligent makes 
rich. 

144
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,200
He who gathers in summer is a 
prudent son, but he who sleeps 

145
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,720
in harvest is a son who brings 
shame. 

146
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,520
The blessings are on the head of
the righteous, but the mouth of 

147
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,120
the wicked conceals violence. 
The memory of the righteous is a

148
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,920
blessing, but the name of the 
wicked will rot. 

149
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,960
The wise of heart will receive 
commandments, but a babbling 

150
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,920
fool will come to ruin. 
Whoever walks and integrity 

151
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,680
walks securely, but he who makes
his ways crooked will be found 

152
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:21,400
out. 
Whoever winks the eye causes 

153
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,800
trouble, and a babbling fool 
will come to ruin.
