Hi, this is Lelie Anderson, and you're listening to Tusing Glory.

0:08.6

Thank you for joining me.

0:10.5

Boy, there's always so much to say.

0:12.6

I didn't finish as much as I thought in part one, and it still went long.

0:16.7

But such an amazing section that we're talking about, Section 45,

0:21.3

and I do want to do a little bit of an update on, you know, it talks about at the end of 45,

0:30.1

the new Jerusalem, verse 68, it shall come to pass among the wicked that every man that will not take his sore against his neighbor must needs flee unto Zion for safety.

1:46.4

And I don't know what that critical mass needs to be.

1:49.8

I don't know when we hit this sort of tipping point where the prophet then gets the instruction

1:54.5

1:56.3

But we are looking forward to this refuge, are we not?

2:00.4

Again, verse 68 of section 45,

2:03.2

every man that will not take his sword against his neighbor must needs flee and design for safety.
