But I want you to that street too. But I want you to that street too. But I want you to understand the generation that Moses. So understand the generation that Moses. So understand the generation that Moses. So now when we get to Deuteronomy in now when we get to Deuteronomy in now when we get to Deuteronomy in chapter 8, this whole book sometimes is chapter 8, this whole book sometimes is chapter 8, this whole book sometimes is called the second law because called the second law because called the second law because [clears throat] Moses is not a young [clears throat] Moses is not a young [clears throat] Moses is not a young man. Moses is old. Moses is in his man. Moses is old. Moses is in his man. Moses is old. Moses is in his hundreds. He is at the end of his of his hundreds. He is at the end of his of his hundreds.

So her her and Moses was about to, you know. and Moses was about to, you know. and Moses was about to, you know. So So So >> centinarian, >> centinarian, >> centinarian, >> come on now. So Moses is seeing all of >> come on now. So Moses is seeing all of >> come on now. So Moses is seeing all of this. Moses has walked with them through this. Moses has walked with them through this. Moses has walked with them through all of this. And this is not the all of this. And this is not the all of this. And this is not the generation per se that comes that was generation per se that comes that was generation per se that comes that was enslaved in Egypt, enslaved in Egypt, enslaved in Egypt, >> right? >> right? >> right? >> Because they died because their >> Because they died because their >> Because they died because their unbelief. So part of the reason we're at unbelief. So part of the reason we're at unbelief. So part of the reason we're at 40 years is because of their unbelief.

40 years is because of their unbelief. 40 years is because of their unbelief. And God had to kill out a whole And God had to kill out a whole And God had to kill out a whole generation of people. So Moses, now you generation of people. So Moses, now you generation of people. So Moses, now you I want you to understand when the I want you to understand when the I want you to understand when the language that Moses is given in language that Moses is given in language that Moses is given in Deuteronomy, Moses is talking to the Deuteronomy, Moses is talking to the Deuteronomy, Moses is talking to the children of the ones who were enslaved. children of the ones who were enslaved. children of the ones who were enslaved. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes.

And so that that lets us know that these so that that lets us know that these so that that lets us know that these stories that passed down got into their stories that passed down got into their stories that passed down got into their spirits. And now Moses is contending spirits. And now Moses is contending spirits. And now Moses is contending with a people who don't even know about with a people who don't even know about with a people who don't even know about the enslavement that they're wanting to the enslavement that they're wanting to the enslavement that they're wanting to go back. They don't even know nothing go back. They don't even know nothing go back. They don't even know nothing about Egypt. And so Moses conversation about Egypt. And so Moses conversation about Egypt. And so Moses conversation to them in Deuteronomy is all centered to them in Deuteronomy is all centered to them in Deuteronomy is all centered around, and you'll see this all around, and you'll see this all around, and you'll see this all throughout the passage.

The timeline that you guys spoke about timeline that you guys spoke about timeline that you guys spoke about earlier, did God give us the timeline or earlier, did God give us the timeline or earlier, did God give us the timeline or is that something that we established? is that something that we established? is that something that we established? >> Well, you mean time when >> Well, you mean time when >> Well, you mean time when >> the timeline where he is going to make >> the timeline where he is going to make >> the timeline where he is going to make whatever it is that you're doing come to whatever it is that you're doing come to whatever it is that you're doing come to pass? pass? pass? >> Well, um, so here's my answer to that. >> Well, um, so here's my answer to that. >> Well, um, so here's my answer to that. Um, time only exists for us. Time Um, time only exists for us. Time Um, time only exists for us. Time doesn't exist for God. So time starts doesn't exist for God. So time starts doesn't exist for God. So time starts for us when God says in the beginning. for us when God says in the beginning. for us when God says in the beginning. God has no beginning or no end. So he God has no beginning or no end. So he God has no beginning or no end. So he gives us time for our own mindset. So gives us time for our own mindset. So gives us time for our own mindset. So for us, I don't believe God gives us a for us, I don't believe God gives us a for us, I don't believe God gives us a time because he doesn't operate in time. time because he doesn't operate in time. time because he doesn't operate in time. I believe there's what's called call I believe there's what's called call I believe there's what's called call chyros moments where God open ups chyros moments where God open ups chyros moments where God open ups windows to where if we operate in it, windows to where if we operate in it, windows to where if we operate in it, then it can happen during that time then it can happen during that time then it can happen during that time period. I believe God can do something period. I believe God can do something period. I believe God can do something right now that he had already did right now that he had already did right now that he had already did yesterday. yesterday. yesterday. So, so when you say time, I see time So, so when you say time, I see time So, so when you say time, I see time different. So to me, time is bondage for different. So to me, time is bondage for different. So to me, time is bondage for God. So that that's how I see time.

God. So that that's how I see time. God. So that that's how I see time. Like, okay, God, I need to do it by Like, okay, God, I need to do it by Like, okay, God, I need to do it by tomorrow. He's like, what's tomorrow? tomorrow. He's like, what's tomorrow? tomorrow. He's like, what's tomorrow? I'm already there. I'm already there. I'm already there.
