[Assistant] I was at Ellen, I was sitting backstage, and I just was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, man. He DM'd me. Wait, he did? What'd he say? We talked about, you know, making some stuff, you know. It was crazy though. The first thing he DM'd me was a screenshot of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get my mouth shut. He sent it to me though and he was like lol. I was like, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're leaving for Algiers tomorrow. You remember Algiers? We honeymooned there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps you're right. Still, it was fun while it lasted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got me all confused, flaxen. Is that your real name?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I'm gonna go with English beans and tuna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We kids didn't like that so much. But there weren't any cars. So we had to go by foot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My friend Nadka said, Ljuba, let's walk on the shore, otherwise you'll freeze. The wind was freezing, but in the forest it was warmer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm not scared. Other people should be afraid of me. I have a gun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That thine enemy shall cast a trench about thee, encompass thee round, and keep thee in on every side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And shall lay thee even with the ground and thy children within thee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the crest of Olivet, Jesus looked upon Jerusalem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fair and peaceful was the scene spread out before him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was this season of the Passover and from all lands the children of Jacob had gathered there to celebrate the great national festival. In the midst of gardens and vineyards,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And green slopes studded with pilgrims tents rose the terraced hills


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As lovely then, and deeming herself as secure in heaven's favor, is when, ages before, the royal minstrel sang, Beautiful for situation, The joy of the whole earth is Mount Zion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The city of the great king. Psalm 48 verse 2. In full view were the magnificent buildings of the temple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rays of the setting sun lighted up the snowy whiteness of its marble walls and gleamed from golden gate and tower and pinnacle. The perfection of beauty it stood, the pride of the Jewish nation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What child of Israel could gaze upon the scene without a thrill of joy and admiration?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But far other thoughts occupied the mind of Jesus. When he was come near, he beheld the city and wept over it. Luke 19 verse 41. Amid the universal rejoicing of the triumphal entry, while palm branches waved, while glad hosannas awoke the echoes of the hills, and thousands of voices declared him king,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The world's redeemer was overwhelmed with a sudden and mysterious sorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, the Son of God, the promised one of Israel, whose power had conquered death and called its captives from the grave, was in tears, not of ordinary grief, but of intense, irrepressible agony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His tears were not for himself, though he well knew whether his feet were tending.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before him lay Gethsemane, the scene of his approaching agony. The sheep-gate also was in sight through which


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For centuries the victims for sacrifice had been led.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not far distant was Calvary, the place of crucifixion. Upon the path which Christ was soon to tread must fall the horror of great darkness, as he should make his soul an offering for sin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet it was not the contemplation of these scenes that cast the shadow upon him in this hour of gladness. No foreboding of his own superhuman anguish clouded that unselfish spirit. He wept for the doomed thousands of Jerusalem because of the blindness and impenitence of those whom he came to bless and to save.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The history of more than a thousand years of God's special favor and guardian care manifested to the chosen people was open to the eye of Jesus. There was Mount Moriah, where the Son of Promise


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An unresisting victim had been bound to the altar, emblem of the offering of the Son of God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There the covenant of blessing, the glorious messianic promise, had been confirmed to the Father of the faithful. Genesis 22 verse 9 and verses 16 through 18.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There the flames of the sacrifice ascending to heaven from the threshing floor of Ornan had turned aside the sword of the destroying angel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Lord had chosen Zion. He had desired it for his habitation. Psalm 132 verse 13.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There for ages holy prophets had uttered their messages of warning. There priests had waved their censors and the cloud of incense with the prayers of the worshippers had ascended before God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There daily the blood of slain lambs had been offered, pointing forward to the Lamb of God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There Jehovah had revealed his presence in the cloud of glory above the mercy seat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There rested the base of that mystic ladder connecting earth with heaven. Genesis 28 verse 12, John 1 verse 51.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the history of that favored people was a record of backsliding and rebellion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had resisted heaven's grace, abused their privileges, and slighted their opportunities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although Israel had mocked the messengers of God and despised His words and misused His prophets, 2 Chronicles 36 verse 16,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Notwithstanding repeated rejections, his mercy had continued its pleadings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With more than a father's pitying love for the son of his care, God had sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes and sending, because he had compassion on his people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He sent to them the best of heaven. Nay, he poured out all heaven in that one gift.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Son of God Himself was sent to plead with the impenitent city. It was Christ


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What could have been done more to my vineyard, he exclaims, that I have not done in it. Isaiah 5 verses 1 through 4.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet, with a still yearning hope of fruitfulness, he came in person to his vineyard. If happily, it might be saved from destruction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He digged about his vine. He pruned and cherished it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was unwearied in his efforts to save this vine of his own planting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For three years the Lord of Light and Glory had gone in and out among his people. He went about doing good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In healing all that were oppressed of the devil, binding up the brokenhearted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Setting at liberty them that were bound, restoring sight to the blind, causing the lame to walk and the deaf to hear, cleansing the lepers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Raising the dead and preaching the gospel to the poor. Acts 10 verse 38.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though rewarded with evil for good and hatred for his love, Psalm 109 verse 5, he had steadfastly pursued his mission of mercy. Never were those repelled that sought his grace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A homeless wanderer reproach and penury his daily lot. He lived to minister to the needs and lighten the woes of men.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cup of God's long deferred wrath was almost full.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cloud that had been gathering through ages of apostasy and rebellion, now black with woe, was about to burst upon a guilty people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he who alone could save them from their impending fate had been slighted, abused, rejected and was soon to be crucified. When Christ should hang upon the cross of Calvary,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Israel's day as a nation favored and blessed of God would be ended. The loss of even one soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is a calamity infinitely outweighing the gains and treasures of a world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as Christ looked upon Jerusalem, the doom of a whole city, a whole nation was before him. That city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the terrible desolations by which their sins were visited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What then was the grief of him whose prophetic glance took in not years, but ages?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He beheld the destroying angel with sword uplifted against the city which had so long been Jehovah's dwelling place. From the Ridge of Olivet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The very spot afterward occupied by Titus and his army.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He looked across the valley upon the sacred courts and porticos, and with tear-dimmed eyes he saw in awful perspective the walls surrounded by alien hosts. He heard the tread of armies marshalling for war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He heard the voice of mothers and children crying for bread in the besieged city. He saw her holy and beautiful house, her palaces and towers given to the flames, and where once they stood, only a heap of smoldering ruins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking down the ages, he saw the covenant people scattered in every land like wrecks on a desert shore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From that cup of wrath which at the final judgment she must drain to its dregs, Divine pity yearning love found utterance in the mournful words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and you would not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that thou a nation favored above every other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hats known the time of thy visitation and the things that belong unto thy peace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have stayed the angel of justice. I have called thee to repentance, but in vain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is not merely servants, delegates, and prophets whom thou hast refused and rejected, but the Holy One of Israel, thy Redeemer. If thou art destroyed, thou alone art responsible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You will not come to me that you might have life. Matthew 23 verse 37 John 5 verse 40.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And hastening on to meet the retributive judgments of God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The woes of a fallen race, pressing upon his soul, forced from his lips that exceeding bitter cry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He saw the record of sin traced in human misery, tears and blood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His heart was moved with infinite pity for the afflicted and suffering ones of earth. He yearned to relieve them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But even his hand might not turn back the tide of human woe. Few would seek their only source of help. He was willing to pour out his soul unto death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To bring salvation within their reach, but few would come to him that they might have life. The majesty of heaven, in tears, the son of the infinite God troubled in spirit bowed down with anguish. The scene filled all heaven with wonder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It shows how hard a task it is, even for infinite power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Saw the world involved in a deception similar to that which caused the destruction of Jerusalem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The great sin of the Jews was their rejection of Christ. The great sin of the Christian world would be their rejection of the law of God, the foundation of His government in heaven and earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The precepts of Jehovah would be despised and set at naught. Millions in bondage to sin, slaves of Satan, doomed to suffer the second death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He again went out with his disciples to the Mount of Olives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And seated himself with them upon the grassy slope overlooking the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once more he gazed upon its walls, its towers, and its palaces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The psalmist had magnified God's favor to Israel in making her holy house his dwelling place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Salem also is his tabernacle and his dwelling place in Zion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He chose the tribe of Judah, the Mount Zion which he loved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he built his sanctuary like high palaces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first temple had been erected during the most prosperous period of Israel's history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vast stores of treasure for this purpose had been collected by King David.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Solomon, the wisest of Israel's monarchs, had completed the work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This temple was the most magnificent building which the world ever saw. Yet the Lord had declared by the prophet Haggai concerning the second temple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the destruction of the temple by Nebuchadnezzar, it was rebuilt


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About 500 years before the birth of Christ,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] by a people who from a lifelong captivity had returned to a wasted and almost deserted country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were then among them aged men who had seen the glory of Solomon's temple and who wept at the foundation of the new building that it must be so inferior to the former.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The feeling that prevailed is forcibly described by the prophet. Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? And how do you see it now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing? Haggai 2 verse 3, Ezra 3 verse 12.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then was given the promise that the glory of this latter house shall be greater than that of the former.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the second temple had not equaled the first in magnificence, nor was it hallowed


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By those visible tokens of the divine presence which pertain to the first temple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no manifestation of supernatural power to market's dedication.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No cloud of glory was seen to fill the newly erected sanctuary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No fire from heaven descended to consume the sacrifice upon its altar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The shekinah no longer abode between the cherubim in the most holy place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The mercy seat and the tables of the testimony were not to be found therein.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No voice sounded from heaven to make known to the inquiring priest the will of Jehovah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For centuries the Jews had vainly endeavored to show wherein the promise of God given by Haggai had been fulfilled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet pride and unbelief blinded their minds to the true meaning of the Prophet's words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second temple was not honored with the cloud of Jehovah's glory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But with the living presence of one in whom dwelt the fullness of the Godhead bodily, who was God himself manifest in the flesh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The desire of all nations had indeed come to his temple when the man of Nazareth taught and healed in the sacred courts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the presence of Christ and in this only did the second temple exceed the first in glory. But Israel had put from her the proffered gift of heaven. With the humble teacher who had that day passed out from its golden gate, the glory had forever departed from the temple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Already were the Savior's words fulfilled, Your house is left unto you desolate. Matthew 23 verse 38.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The disciples had been filled with awe and wonder at Christ's prediction of the overthrow of the temple, and they desired to understand more fully the meaning of His words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wealth, labor, and architectural skill had for more than 40 years been freely expended to enhance its splendors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Herod the Great had lavished upon it both Roman wealth and Jewish treasure, and even the emperor of the world had enriched it with his gifts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Massive blocks of white marble of almost fabulous size forwarded from Rome for this purpose formed a part of its structure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To these words, Jesus made the solemn and startling reply.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Verily I say unto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down. Matthew 24 verse 2


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the overthrow of Jerusalem, the disciples associated the events of Christ's personal coming in temporal glory to take the throne of universal empire, to punish the impenitent Jews, and to break from off the nation the Roman yoke. The Lord had told them that he would come the second time. Hence, at the mention of judgments upon Jerusalem, their minds reverted to that coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as they were gathered about the Savior upon the Mount of Olives, they asked, When shall these things be?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The future was mercifully veiled from the disciples.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had they at that time fully comprehended the two awful facts, the Redeemer's sufferings and death, and the destruction of their city and temple, they would have been overwhelmed with horror.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Christ presented before them an outline of the prominent events to take place before the close of time His words were not then fully understood


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But their meaning was to be unfolded as his people should need the instruction therein given.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] prophecy which he uttered was twofold in its meaning while foreshadowing the destruction of Jerusalem


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It prefigured also the terrors of the last great day. Jesus declared to the listening disciples the judgments that were to fall upon apostate Israel and especially the retributive vengeance


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would come upon them for their rejection and crucifixion of the Messiah


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet stand in the holy place, whoso readeth, let him understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains. Matthew 24 verses 15 and 16, Luke 21 verses 20 and 21.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the idolatrous standards of the Romans should be set up in the holy ground, which extended some furlongs outside the city walls, then the followers of Christ were to find safety in flight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the warning sign should be seen, those who would escape must make no delay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Throughout the land of Judea as well as in Jerusalem itself, the signal for flight must be immediately obeyed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He who chants to be upon the housetop must not go down into his house even to save his most valued treasures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But by the erection of towers, walls and fortresses, adding to the natural strength of its situation, it had been rendered apparently impregnable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They build up Zion with blood and Jerusalem with iniquity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The heads thereof judge for reward and the priests thereof teach for hire and the prophets thereof divine for money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These words faithfully describe the corrupt and self-righteous inhabitants of Jerusalem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While claiming to observe rigidly the precepts of God's law, they were transgressing all its principles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They hated Christ because His purity and holiness revealed their iniquity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Christ were sacrificed, they might once more become a strong, united people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they concurred in the decision of their high priest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That it would be better for one man to die than for the whole nation to perish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus the Jewish leaders had built up Zion with blood and Jerusalem with iniquity. Micah 3 verse 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such was their self-righteousness that they regarded themselves as God's favored people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For nearly 40 years after the doom of Jerusalem had been pronounced by Christ himself, the Lord delayed his judgments upon the city and the nation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wonderful was the long suffering of God toward the rejectors of his gospel and the murderers of his son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The parable of the unfruitful tree represented God's dealings with the Jewish nation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The command had gone forth, cut it down, why cumberth it the ground, Luke 13 verse 7. But divine mercy had spared it yet a little longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were still many among the Jews who were ignorant of the character and the work of Christ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the children had not enjoyed the opportunities or received the light which their parents had spurned. Through the preaching of the apostles and their associates, God would cause light to shine upon them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They would be permitted to see how prophecy had been fulfilled not only in the birth and life of Christ, but in His death and resurrection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The children were not condemned for the sins of the parents, but when


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the knowledge of all the light given to their parents,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The children rejected the additional light granted to themselves. They became partakers of the parents' sins and filled up the measure of their iniquity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The long-suffering of God toward Jerusalem only confirmed the Jews in their stubborn impenitence. In their hatred and cruelty toward the disciples of Jesus, they rejected the last offer of mercy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then God withdrew His protection from them and removed His restraining power from Satan and his angels, and the nation was left to the control of the leader she had chosen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her children had spurned the grace of Christ, which would have enabled them to subdue their evil impulses, and now these became the conquerors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Satan aroused the fiercest and most debased passions of the soul. Men did not reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were beyond reason, controlled by impulse and blind rage. They became satanic in their cruelty. In the family and in the nation,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Among the highest and the lowest classes alike, there was suspicion, envy, hatred, strife, rebellion, murder. There was no safety anywhere. Friends and Kindred betrayed one another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Parents slew their children and children their parents. The rulers of the people had no power to rule themselves. Uncontrolled passions made them tyrants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Jews had accepted false testimony to condemn the innocent Son of God. Now false accusations made their own lives uncertain. By their actions, they had long been saying,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Satan was at the head of the nation and the highest civil and religious authorities were under his sway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The leaders of the opposing factions at times united to plunder and torture their wretched victims.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And again they fell upon each other's forces and slaughtered without mercy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the sanctity of the temple could not restrain their horrible ferocity. The worshippers were stricken down before the altar and the sanctuary was polluted with the bodies of the slain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet in their blind and blasphemous presumption, the instigators of this hellish work publicly declared that they had no fear that Jerusalem would be destroyed, for it was God's own city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To establish their power more firmly, they bribed false prophets to proclaim, even while Roman legions were besieging the temple, that the people were to wait for deliverance from God. To the last, multitudes held fast to the belief that the Most High would interpose for the defeat of their adversaries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The blood of her children slain by one another's hands crimsoning her streets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While alien armies beat down her fortifications and slew her men of war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the predictions given by Christ concerning the destruction of Jerusalem were fulfilled to the letter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Jews experienced the truth of his words of warning. With what measure you meet, it shall be measured to you again. Matthew 7 verse 2. Signs and wonders appeared for boating disaster in doom. In the midst of the night,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An unnatural light shone over the temple and the altar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Upon the clouds at sunset were pictured chariots and men of war gathering for battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which was so heavy that it could hardly be shut by a score of men.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And which was secured by immense bars of iron fastened deep in the pavement of solid stone, opened at midnight without visible agency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Millman, The History of the Jews, Book 13.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For seven years a man continued to go up and down the streets of Jerusalem, declaring the woes that were to come upon the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By day and by night, he chanted the wild dirge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A voice from the east, a voice from the west, a voice from the four winds, a voice against Jerusalem and against the temple, a voice against the bridegrooms and against the brides, a voice against the whole people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This strange being was imprisoned and scourged, but no complaint escaped his lips. To insult and abuse he answered only, woe, woe to Jerusalem, woe, woe to the inhabitants thereof. His warning cry ceased not until he was slain in the siege he had foretold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not one Christian perished in the destruction of Jerusalem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Christ had given his disciples warning, and all who believed his words watched for the promised sign.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, said Jesus, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains and let them which are in the midst of it depart out. Luke 21 verses 20 and 21.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the Romans under Sestius had surrounded the city,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] had been given to the waiting Christians and now an opportunity was offered for all who would to obey the Savior's warning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Events were so overruled that neither Jews nor Romans should hinder the flight of the Christians.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Upon the retreat of Sestius, the Jews, sallying from Jerusalem, pursued after his retiring army. And while both forces were thus fully engaged, the Christians had an opportunity to leave the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this time, the country also had been cleared of enemies who might have endeavored to intercept them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the time of the siege, the Jews were assembled at Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Tabernacles, and thus the Christians throughout the land were able to make their escape unmolested.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without delay, they fled to a place of safety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The city of Pella in the land of Perea beyond Jordan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Jewish forces, pursuing after Sestius and his army, fell upon their rear with such fierceness as to threaten them with total destruction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was with great difficulty that the Romans succeeded in making their retreat. The Jews escaped almost without loss


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with their spoils, returned in triumph to Jerusalem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet this apparent success brought them only evil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It inspired them with that spirit of stubborn resistance to the Romans which speedily brought unutterable woe upon the doomed city. Terrible were the calamities that fell upon Jerusalem when the siege was resumed by Titus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The city was invested at the time of the Passover when millions of Jews were assembled within its walls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's stores of provision which, if carefully preserved, would have supplied the inhabitants for years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had previously been destroyed through the jealousy and revenge of the contending factions, and now all the horrors of starvation were experienced. A measure of wheat was sold for a talent. So fierce were the pangs of hunger that men would gnaw the leather of their belts and sandals in the covering of their shields.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great numbers of people would steal out at night to gather wild plants growing outside the city walls, though many were seized and put to death with cruel torture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And often those who returned in safety were robbed of what they had gleaned at so great peril.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most inhumane tortures were inflicted by those in power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To force from the want-stricken people the last scanty supplies which they might have concealed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Children would be seen snatching the food from the mouths of their aged parents. The question of the prophet, can a woman forget her sucking child?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Received the answer within the walls of that doomed city. The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people. Isaiah 49 verse 15, Lamentations 4 verse 10


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again was fulfilled the warning prophecy given fourteen centuries before. The tender and delicate woman among you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her eyes shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, and toward her children which she shall bear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straightness wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. Deuteronomy 28 verses 56 and 57.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Roman leaders endeavored to strike terror to the Jews and thus caused them to surrender. Those prisoners who resisted when taken were scourged, tortured, and crucified before the wall of the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hundreds were daily put to death in this manner, and the dreadful work continued until along the valley of Jehoshaphat and at Calvary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crosses were erected in so great numbers that there was scarcely room to move among them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Titus would willingly have put an end to the fearful scene, and thus have spared Jerusalem the full measure of her doom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was filled with horror as he saw the bodies of the dead lying in heaps in the valleys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like one entranced, he looked from the crest of Olivet upon the magnificent temple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Darts were hurled at him, their last human mediator as he stood pleading with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Jews had rejected the entreaties of the Son of God, and now expostulation and entreaty only made them more determined to resist to the last.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the detestable crimes perpetrated within the besieged city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excited the horror and indignation of the Romans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sallying from the temple, attack the soldiers without.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the struggle, a firebrand was flung by a soldier through an opening in the porch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In their fury the soldiers hurled blazing brands into the chambers adjoining the temple, and then with their swords they slaughtered in great numbers those who had found shelter there. Blood flowed down the temple steps like water. Thousands upon thousands of Jews perished. Above the sound of battle, voices were heard shouting, Ichabod! The glory is departed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Titus found it impossible to check the rage of the soldiery. He entered with his officers and surveyed the interior of the sacred edifice. The splendor filled them with wonder, and as the flames had not yet penetrated to the holy place, he made a last effort to save it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Endeavored to force obedience with his staff of office, but even respect for the emperor gave way to the furious animosity against the Jews, to the fierce excitement of battle and to the insatiable hope of plunder. The soldiers saw everything around them radiant with gold, which shone dazzlingly in the wild light of the flames. They supposed


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole summit of the hill which commanded the city blazed like a volcano.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One after another the buildings fell in with a tremendous crash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And were swallowed up in the fiery abyss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The roofs of the cedar were like sheets of flame. The gilded pinnacles shone like spikes of red light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're crowded with faces, some pale with the agony of despair, others scowling unavailing vengeance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The shouts of the Roman soldier as they ran to and fro and the howlings of the insurgents who were perishing in the flames.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mingled with the roaring of the conflagration and the thundering sound of falling timbers, the echoes of the mountains replied or brought back the shrieks of the people on the heights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Men who were expiring with famine rallied their remaining strength to utter a cry of anguish and desolation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The slaughter within was even more dreadful than the spectacle from without. Men and women, old and young.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Insurgents and priests, those who fought and those who entreated mercy were hewn down in indiscriminate carnage. The number of the slain exceeded that of the slayers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the destruction of the temple, the whole city soon fell into the hands of the Romans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Jews had forged their own fetters. They had filled for themselves the cup of vengeance. In the utter destruction that befell them as a nation, and in all the woes that followed them in their dispersion,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were but reaping the harvest which their own hands had sown, says the prophet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself, for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. Hosea 13 verse 9, chapter 14 verse 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their sufferings are often represented as a punishment visited upon them by the direct decree of God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is thus that the great deceiver seeks to conceal his own work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By stubborn rejection of divine love and mercy, the Jews had caused the protection of God to be withdrawn from them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The horrible cruelties enacted in the destruction of Jerusalem


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are a demonstration of Satan's vindictive power over those who yield to his control. We cannot know how much we owe to Christ for the peace and protection which we enjoy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is the restraining power of God that prevents mankind from passing fully under the control of Satan


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In holding in check the cruel malignant power of the evil one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when men pass the limits of divine forbearance, that restraint is removed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God does not stand toward the sinner as an executioner of the sentence against transgression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he leaves the rejectors of his mercy to themselves to reap that which they have sown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every ray of light rejected, every warning despised or unheeded, every passion indulged, every transgression of the law of God is a seed sown which yields its unfailing harvest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And solemn warning to all who are trifling with the offers of divine grace and resisting the pleadings of divine mercy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never was there given a more decisive testimony to God's hatred of sin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to the certain punishment that will fall upon the guilty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Savior's prophecy concerning the visitation of judgments upon Jerusalem is to have another fulfillment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of which that terrible desolation is but a faint shadow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the fate of the chosen city we may behold the doom of a world that has rejected God's mercy and trampled upon his law.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dark are the records of human misery that Earth has witnessed during its long centuries of crime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The heart sickens and the mind grows faint in contemplation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terrible have been the results of rejecting the authority of heaven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But a scene yet darker is presented in the revelations of the future. The records of the past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The long procession of tumults, conflicts and revolutions, the battle of the warrior with confused noise and garments rolled in blood. Isaiah 9 verse 5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are these in contrast with the terrors of that day when the restraining spirit of God shall be wholly withdrawn from the wicked, no longer to hold in check the outburst of human passion and satanic wrath? The world will then behold as never before the results of Satan's rule. But in that day, as in the time of Jerusalem's destruction,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Christ has declared that he will come the second time to gather his faithful ones to himself. Then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they shall see the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matthew 24 verses 30 and 31. Then shall they that obey not the gospel be consumed with the spirit of his mouth and be destroyed with the brightness of his coming. Second Thessalonians 2 verse 8.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like Israel of old, the wicked destroy themselves. They fall by their iniquity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By a life of sin they have placed themselves so out of harmony with God, their natures have become so debased with evil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the manifestation of his glory is to them a consuming fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let men beware lest they neglect the lesson conveyed to them in the words of Christ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he warned his disciples of Jerusalem's destruction, giving them a sign of the approaching ruin that they might make their escape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he has warned the world of the day of final destruction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And has given them tokens of its approach that all who will may flee from the wrath to come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars and upon the earth distress of nations. Luke 21 verse 25, Matthew 24 verse 29, Mark 13 verses 24 to 26, Revelation 6 verses 12 through 17. Those who behold these harbingers of His coming,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are to know that it is near even at the doors. Matthew 24 verse 33.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watch ye therefore are his words of admonition. Mark 13 verse 35.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They that heed the warning shall not be left in darkness, that that day should overtake them unawares. But to them that will not watch, the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The world is no more ready to credit the message for this time than were the Jews to receive the Savior's warning concerning Jerusalem. Come when it may.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The day of God will come unawares to the ungodly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When men are absorbed in pleasure, in business, in traffic, in money making. When religious leaders are magnifying the world's progress and enlightenment. And the people are lulled in a false security.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, as the midnight thief steals within the unguarded dwelling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One cherry flavor coming up. Here you are, Bertram.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No doctor, not without your confirmation. Well, I guess that's what I'm here for. Sturtevant, there must be a spark of real fire in you somewhere. What you need is just the right girl. You know what would happen? You'd light up inside and burn with the roar of a bonfire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be right up. I was just having a few words with our artist friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before the entrance of sin, Adam enjoyed open communion with his Maker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But since man separated himself from God by transgression, the human race has been cut off from this high privilege.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the plan of redemption however, a way has been opened whereby the inhabitants of the earth may still have connection with heaven. God has communicated with men by his spirit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those who had been taught of God communicated their knowledge to others and it was handed down from father to son through successive generations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The preparation of the written word began in the time of Moses. Inspired revelations were then embodied in an inspired book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This work continued during the long period of 1600 years, from Moses, the historian of creation and the law, to John.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet it was written by human hands, and in the varied style of its different books it presents the characteristics of the several writers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The truths revealed are all given by inspiration of God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet, they are expressed in the words of men.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The infinite one by his Holy Spirit has shed light into the minds and hearts of his servants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has given dreams and visions, symbols and figures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And those to whom the truth was thus revealed have themselves embodied the thought in human language. The Ten Commandments were spoken by God himself and were written by his own hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are of divine and not of human composition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With its God-given truths expressed in the language of men presents a union of the divine and the human.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such a union existed in the nature of Christ, who was the Son of God and the Son of Man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus it is true of the Bible, as it was of Christ, that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. John 1 verse 14.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Written in different ages by men who differed widely in rank and occupation and in mental and spiritual endowments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The books of the Bible present a wide contrast in style.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As well as a diversity in the nature of the subjects unfolded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Different forms of expression are employed by different writers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Often the same truth is more strikingly presented by one than by another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as several writers present a subject under varied aspects and relations,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There may appear to the superficial, careless or prejudiced reader to be discrepancy or contradiction, where the thoughtful reverent student


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With clearer insight, discerns the underlying harmony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As presented through different individuals, the truth is brought out in its varied aspects. One writer is more strikingly impressed with one phase of the subject. He grasps those points that harmonize with his experience or with his power of perception and appreciation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But a perfect harmony through all, and the truths thus revealed unite to form a perfect whole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adapted to meet the wants of men in all the circumstances and experiences of life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God has been pleased to communicate His truth to the world by human agencies and He Himself by His Holy Spirit qualified men and enabled them to do this work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He guided the mind in the selection of what to speak and what to write.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The treasure was entrusted to earthen vessels, yet it is nonetheless from heaven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The testimony is conveyed through the imperfect expression of human language, yet it is the testimony of God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the obedient, believing child of God beholds in it the glory of a divine power full of grace and truth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In his word, God has committed to men the knowledge necessary for salvation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Holy Scriptures are to be accepted as an authoritative, infallible revelation of His will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are the standard of character, the revealer of doctrines and the test of experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction, which is in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet the fact that God has revealed His will to men through His Word has not rendered needless the continued presence and guiding of the Holy Spirit. On the contrary, the Spirit was promised by our Savior to open the Word to His servants, to illuminate and apply its teachings. And since it was the Spirit of God that inspired the Bible,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is impossible that the teaching of the Spirit should ever be contrary to that of the Word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because many false prophets are gone out into the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great reproach has been cast upon the work of the Holy Spirit by the errors of a class that, claiming its enlightenment, profess to have no further need of guidance from the Word of God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are governed by impressions which they regard as the voice of God in the soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the spirit that controls them is not the spirit of God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This following of impressions to the neglect of the scriptures can lead only to confusion, to deception and ruin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It serves only to further the designs of the evil one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since the ministry of the Holy Spirit is of vital importance to the Church of Christ, it is one of the devices of Satan through the errors of extremists and fanatics to cast contempt upon the work of the Spirit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] was to continue its work throughout the period of the gospel dispensation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the ages while the scriptures of both the Old and New Testament were being given,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Holy Spirit did not cease to communicate light to individual minds apart from the revelations to be embodied in the sacred canon. The Bible itself relates how, through the Holy Spirit, men received warning, reproof, counsel, and instruction


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In matters in no way relating to the giving of the scriptures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Invention is made of prophets in different ages of whose utterances nothing is recorded. In like manner, after the close of the canon of the scripture, the Holy Spirit was still to continue its work to enlighten, warn, and comfort the children of God. Jesus promised his disciples


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you. When he the spirit of truth has come, he will guide you into all truth and he will show you things to come. John 14 verse 26 in chapter 16 verse 13.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scripture plainly teaches that these promises, so far from being limited to apostolic days, extend to the Church of Christ in all ages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Savior assures his followers, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Matthew 28 verse 20.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Paul declares that the gifts and manifestations of the Spirit were set in the church for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] May give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened that you may know what is the hope of his calling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An opening to the mind the deep things of God's holy word was the blessing which Paul thus besought for the Ephesian church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the wonderful manifestation of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peter exhorted the people to repentance and baptism in the name of Christ for the remission of their sins, and he said, You shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the promise is unto you and to your children and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Acts 2, verses 38 and 39.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In immediate connection with the scenes of the great day of God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Lord by the prophet Joel has promised a special manifestation of his spirit. Joel 2 verse 28. This prophecy received a partial fulfillment in the outpouring of the spirit on the day of Pentecost, but it will reach its full accomplishment in the manifestation of divine grace, which will attend the closing work of the gospel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The wrath of Satan has been manifested against the Church of Christ, and God has bestowed His grace and Spirit upon His people to strengthen them to stand against the power of the evil one. When the Apostles of Christ were to bear His gospel to the world and to record it for all future ages,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as the church approaches her final deliverance, Satan is to work with greater power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For six thousand years, that mastermind that once was the highest among the angels of God has been wholly bent to the work of deception and ruin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all the depths of satanic skill and subtlety acquired, all the cruelty developed during these struggles of the ages will be brought to bear against God's people in the final conflict.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in this time of peril, the followers of Christ are to bear to the world the warning of the Lord's second advent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this time the special endowment of divine grace and power is not less needful to the church than in apostolic days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The scenes of the long continued conflict between good and evil have been opened to the writer of these pages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From time to time I have been permitted to behold the working in different ages of the great controversy between Christ, the Prince of Life, the author of our salvation, and Satan, the Prince of Evil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The author of sin, the first transgressor of God's holy law.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The same policy of deception by which error is made to appear as truth, by which human laws are substituted for the law of God and men are led to worship the creature rather than the creator may be traced in all the history of the past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Satan's efforts to misrepresent the character of God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To cause men to cherish a false conception of the creator and thus to regard him with fear and hate rather than with love. His endeavors to set aside the divine law.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leading the people to think themselves free from its requirements.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And his persecution of those who dare to resist his deceptions have been steadfastly pursued in all ages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have been bidden to make known to others that which has thus been revealed, to trace the history of the controversy in past ages, and especially so to present it as to shed a light on the fast approaching struggle of the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In pursuance of this purpose, I have endeavored to select and group together events in the history of the Church in such a manner as to trace the unfolding of the great testing truths that at different periods have been given to the world, that have excited the wrath of Satan, and the enmity of a world-loving Church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that have been maintained by the witness of those who loved not their lives unto the death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In these records we may see a foreshadowing of the conflict before us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Regarding them in the light of God's word and by the illumination of his spirit, we may see unveiled the devices of the wicked one and the dangers which they must shun who would be found without fault before the Lord at his coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are matters of history, well known and universally acknowledged by the Protestant world. They are facts which none can gainsay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This history I have presented briefly in accordance with the scope of the book, and the brevity which must necessarily be observed, the facts having been condensed into as little space as seemed consistent with a proper understanding of their application.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In some cases where a historian has so grouped together events as to afford, in brief, a comprehensive view of the subject.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] or has summarized details in a convenient manner, his words have been quoted. But in some instances no specific credit has been given, since the quotations are not given for the purpose of citing that writer as authority, but because his statement affords a ready enforceable presentation of the subject.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In narrating the experience and views of those carrying forward the work of reform in our own time,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Similar use has been made of their published works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is not so much the object of this book to present new truths concerning the struggles of former times as to bring out facts and principles which have a bearing on coming events.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet viewed as a part of the controversy between the forces of light and darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All these records of the past are seen to have a new significance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And through them, a light is cast upon the future, illumining the pathway of those who, like the reformers of past ages, will be called


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even at the peril of all earthly good to witness for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To present a satisfactory solution of the great problem of evil, shedding such a light upon the origin and the final disposition of sin as to make fully manifest the justice and benevolence of God in all his dealings with his creatures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to show the holy unchanging nature of his law is the object of this book. That through its influence, souls may be delivered from the power of darkness


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And become partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it something you'd like to see change as well in different kind of movies?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And should there be a female bond one day, you reckon? What do you say, Ben?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mine? As a schoolteacher. Well, I think perhaps, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To try to teach the children a broader attitude towards Europe. A broader attitude towards the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is it? What's the time? It's so late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But do you realize what kind of people they are? They are ruthless. They are quite ruthless. Everyone here knows about them, they've killed people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Artists can check your people. Why do you have to do that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not worried. They think I'm dead. They think I was blown up in a car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today we are discussing the femur, or the thigh bone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Femur is the longest bone within a human body, and it is also the most massive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Femur is a typical example of a long bone consisting of the shaft or body and epiphysis or the ends of the bone. Whereas in this case femur is going to have three epiphysis, not just the proximal and distal, but also the third epiphysis that will develop within the area of the greater trochanter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps in comparative studies it makes sense to also compare the structure of the femur to previously discussed humerus, as there will be several similarities between these two bones, but also there will be quite a few differences that we'll find also on the femur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let us start the description of a femur from its proximal or superior end. As one can see,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The superior part of a femur is designed to create the hip joint together with the acetabulum of the hip bone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Head of the femur is about two thirds of a full sphere and is going to be practically completely engaged within the acetabulum, especially when the acetabulum gets addition of fibrocartilaginous rim, the acetabular labrum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The head itself, as you can see it, is entirely smooth. During the life it's covered with highland cartilage, except one little indented area. That is practically what we see here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fovea capitis femoris is not articular surface. Fovea capitis femoris is the attachment point on the femur for the ligament which is called the ligament of the head of the femur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The main role for the ligament of the head of the femur is not really to bring additional stability to the hip joint, which is, regardless of this ligament, quite stable, but rather something quite unusual because the ligament in this case brings additional blood vessel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're finding the region of the neck of the femur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unlike humerus, femur has only one neck, and that one is very much clearly indicated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of them practically being additional or excess ring nutrient foramina in order to bring additional plenty of small blood vessels in particular from the hip joint capsule in order to provide a little bit better and improved blood supply to the head and neck of the femur during the lifetime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because this is frequently not the case, that's why in elderly people we're seeing increasing number of spontaneous fractures of what is called the hip. Essentially it's not a fracture of the hip, but most likely it would be a fracture that goes across the neck of the femur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please remember that we are now using the left-sided femur and that's why the image that you have on the screen might be looking like a mirror image of the images that are typically seen in anatomical textbooks or atlases. Therefore, this is the anterior side of the femur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're moving away from the neck, passing from neck onto the body of a femur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where neck and body meet, it is at a very odd angle. Something that really explains why such two massive projections are created at the point of junction between the neck and the shaft of the femur. They're called greater and lesser trochanters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A greater trochanter, as it's illustrated here, is positioned more superiorly, and it is probably the most lateral part of the hip bone. Something that we would normally point to when we want to make a quick reference to our own hip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lesser trochanter is situated more on the posterior and medial aspect of the bone, as it could be seen when I slowly rotate the femur. This is the lesser trochanter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we just confirmed existence of a greater and lesser trochanters of the femur, we can now take a look and confirm. Anteriorly, there is intertrochanteric line, which is mark of capsular attachment of the hip joint, fibrous capsule goes and covers this area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also from this same perspective, we can see that there is a bit of an overhang that the greater trochanter creates above or superior to the femoral neck. This is area which is called the trochanteric fossa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With additional zoom, we can find out few additional openings also that serve as the passageways for smaller blood vessels from the fibrous capsule of the hip joint to pass into the bone and to produce additional blood supply that this bone definitely needs in a later stage of our lives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the intertrochanteric crest, we have also a little extra elevation here that is called the quadrate tubercle. Quadrate tubercle is the attachment point for the quadratus femoris, one of the small muscles that converge around the hip joint, also known as the intrinsic muscles of the hip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inferior to the Lester trochanter, we will find additional landmark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the pectineal line of the femur. The pectineal line is insertion point for the muscle which is called the pectineus, running between the pectin pubis down to pectineal line of the femur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We would have virtually zero landmarks that we can find on the anterior side, on the lateral side, and also on the medial side of the femur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Main reason for that is that this huge femoral surface is predominantly occupied by attachment of three heads of the largest muscle of a human body, the quadriceps femoris.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's three heads, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and vastus lateralis are given ample bone surface. And as a result of this kind of interaction between the bone and the muscle, there is absolutely no signs of pull force developing on this massive area of the femur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we will find that there is another quite massive


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Landmark that exists on the posterior shaft of the femur, and that one is known as the linea aspera.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Linear aspera is so prominent because other muscles of the thigh really do not have any remaining bony surface to attach to other than this limited posterior aspect of the bone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why a lineaspora appears to be very sharp, quite elevated, and quite massive bony landmark, practically making it impossible to miss. As we follow the lineaspora superiorly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll find out that it starts splitting into two lips. The medial lip, which is directed towards medial side, and the lateral lip of the bone of the linea aspera that will be directed more laterally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lateral lip continues upwards towards the greater trochanter but it really ends up here on the area of the bone showing also massive elevated parts which is called the gluteal tuberosity. It is insertion for the gluteus maximus muscle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So from linea aspera, following the medial lip of the linea aspera, we're now going more onto the medial aspect of the bone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This line becomes now known as the spiral line of the femur as it truly spirals from posterior to medial to the anterior aspect of the bone. And the spiral line actually blends into intertrochanteric line on the anterior side of the femur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Linear Aspera also continues inferiorly towards condyles of a femur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this time we're not using same terms, such as medial or lateral lip, but rather use different terminology. Inferiorly, linea aspura splits into lateral and medial supercondylar lines or supercondylar ridges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you can see it here, shaft of the femur starts showing signs of increasing its width as well as increasing its thickness in order to form distal end of this bone which is known as the medial and lateral condyles of the femur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So term condyle is used to define curved, articular surface of the bone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And on the medial condyle, we'll also recognize medial epicondyle, the most elevated part, as well as the lateral epicondyle, also being the most elevated part on the lateral side of the bone. On the medial condyle,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will find additional bump, which practically reflects itself on the distal end of the supracondylar medial ridge. And this little bump here is known as the adductor tubercule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is the insertion point for adductor magnus muscle, which is using this little landmark on the distal femur and joins with part of its fibers group of hamstring muscles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Condyles, as one can see it here, appear to be converging anteriorly. So when they finally converge, they create one common articular surface, which is known as the patellar surface. Patella, or kneecap, sits within this area when the knee is fully extended.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if the condyles are converging interiorly, then they obviously diverge in a posterior direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And within knee flexion, when the patella is located now in much deeper groove between medial and lateral condyles of the femur, its position is more safely secured and less likely that there will be any kind of issues coming from patellar's improper position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Condyles are covered with hyaline cartilage and a femur together with tibia with a little bit of assistance of course coming from patella is responsible to form the knee joint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is the posterior view to the distal femoral shaft and also to distal condyles of the femur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you cannot see the rest of the bone, let's just confirm. This is the medial condyle. This is the lateral condyle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is medial epicondyle. This is adductor tubercle. Medial and lateral epicondyles are attachment points for strong collateral ligaments of the knee joint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the condyles are quite diverged in a posterior direction, they form intercondylar fossa, a deep pit so large that it can easily accommodate presence of my finger in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The main reason for we have to spend a little bit of extra time and a little bit of extra attention to this detail is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That intercondylar fossa actually becomes the attachment point for both anterior and the posterior cruciate ligaments of the knee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The anterior cruciate ligament will be attached on the lateral condyle on the surface that is facing into intercondylar fossa. So attachment of the anterior cruciate ligament is approximately here, whereas the posterior cruciate ligament will pick


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This aspect of the medial condyle of the femur. So it is medial condyle and the surface that is facing into intercondylar fossa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Starting from the uppermost part, here is a femoral head, fovea capitis femoris, the neck of the femur, the neck of the femur from a posterior direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While we're posteriorly, let's confirm position of lesser and position of greater trochanter and in between them intertrochanteric crest with quadratus femoris tuberculi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not the quadriceps but the quadratus femoris. Trochanteric fossa and a greater trochanter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the interior side, there is intertruck enteric line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Under the lesser tubercle, we have the pectin in a line. And now we're onto shaft of the femur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No landmarks on three out of four different surfaces, medial, lateral and anterior, but on the posterior side, we're seeing


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big massive landmark that is lineaspra, medial lip of the lineaspra, which becomes the spiral line of the femur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which ultimately becomes the intertrochanteric line of a femur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll go more laterally towards greater trochanter and we'll stop on the gluteal tuberosity which is attachment point for the gluteus maximus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flattened area, which is known as the popliteal fossa. Term popliteal is used practically multiple times for many structures that are found posterior to the knee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shaft of the femur expands to form two condyles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And common articular surface for both medial and lateral condyle patellar surface. And then as the condyles diverge, we need to see it from behind.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we've got quite a few commitments. We're only in this time to rehearse, you might say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it has its points, but I'd like to look it over from every angle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll play it so slow you can even take a bath. This song might be good for the act.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll give you notice. When I get married, I'll even invite you to the wedding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She got her strawberries. This isn't in our contract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's fine. Blass, I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I've come to a decision. I'm through with the stage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where is it written that I have to be a performer? And what book does it say that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You call that training? Only one promise. When I'm ready, you don't pull any strings for me. Whatever I get has got to be on my own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good things have to happen when a guy has you for a rabbit's foot. What do you bet I go over?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't I tell you he was a coward? You win your confidence. If it wasn't for you, I would have killed him last night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have been changed, sir. All right, you made her tend to the car. Here, take this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, and I'll have the pleasure of driving you there myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I have an idea that will accomplish just that. Well, what is it? It's a very simple trap, really. They save fliers. Very well, we'll give them a fly of our own to save.

[Assistant] It's a picture of me and Charli XCX. Isn't it the one of me smiling? That's a lot. Ten million? That's my face!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that makes me feel good though, cause sometimes the most liked picture is like you with like another celebrity or you with...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd say probably Khalid, which is weird cause he's like, just a homie of mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like Drake, come on. Drake? Drake is like the nicest dude I've ever...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He does not need to be nice, you know what I mean? He's at a level in his life where he doesn't need to be nice, but he is, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did Ellen last week. Jimmy Fallon. So many festivals. I met Takashi Murakami. I went to his studio. Dave Girl's daughter did a cover of my song. He played guitar for her at a talent show, I think. There's been a lot of shit that's happened in the last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, my skin was so bad. Jesus. Look, I'm glowing now! Yes! My skin got better!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had a number one single. Had a number two single for like 16 weeks straight or some shit, right? Biggest selling album of the year. I have Drake's phone number.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the people that support me. My fans, which I don't like to call fans. My, you know, my family, you know. God, I was so annoying then. Finishing this album.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I finished that album. Thank the Lord's above because I was about to jump off a building to finish that fucking album. Oh my God. Exhausting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank god I finished that shit. Honestly, sometimes I think about it. Sometimes I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like me and Phineas have had conversations where we're like, can you believe we actually finished the album? I swear to God, we thought we would never finish that shit. Ever. I love that album. Uhm, probably like a fucking...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ten, dude. I love it! Fuck it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wait, it's grades, sorry, A. I never went to school, I never got grades. Sorry, A+, that's what I meant. Most important thing right now, though, probably would be maintaining, uhm, my happiness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which I've been experiencing for like the first time in many years lately, which is really cool. And not that my fans aren't like also the other most important thing in the world and doing shows is also really important to me and doing crazy shows especially, but I want to stay happy. That's a big goal for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if I'm more confident, I just think I know what I'm doing more. Uh, I think I'm less confident, actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was definitely not as confident last year as I was before that, but I am for sure a billion times more confident than both of those years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I'm probably the most confident I've ever been in my life. I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was thinking about that like earlier today. Because of this interview, I was like... Back then I thought...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it was the most I was ever gonna be recognized and it was the most anyone's gonna know me and it was the most money that I would have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, looked at. I genuinely did not think people would care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't even stress it enough. I can't believe people care so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fuck's sake. The reason it was like affecting me so much last year was because all I wanted to do was go out. I don't even think about going out anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like this life that I have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like being famous. It's very weird, but it's very cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I can s- I feel like I can say that now because I used to hate it. I hated doing press and I hated being recognized and I hated, uhm, kind of everything that had to do with it. There's a lot in fame that's fucking gross and horrible and just miserable but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, probably that stupid Cheeto head, man. November 6th. There's an election soon. I really hope everyone votes. So, the world doesn't end. There's an impeachment going on. Honestly, the news is so bad, I can't even... Oh yeah, Beyonce had some twins. And she still looks fly. Kehlani's pregnant. Greta Thunberg, honestly. She's been... fucking kicking people's ass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that stupid Snapchat filter that's like... I'm kinda over the whole, like, juuling shit. That shit is so ugly. Like, smoking looks cooler than juuling. Like, don't smoke, but you know, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ca- I could not have a boyfriend that would just be mean to him. Uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feel the need to be with anyone. For the first time in my life, I don't have my eyes on anyone, I'm not in the mood, I don't have enough stamina for it right now, and I'm totally fine with that. So, who knows? I'm open to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think the month of May, probably mid-May, I was in a horrible place mentally. So. Uhm, one of a friend of mine died in June. It's pretty bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I uhm sat there and was totally silent and totally still and just tears like just streamed down my face. I went to my uhm garage and I just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to take it for granted. I catch myself. True. Even some things I've said today I catch myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you ever conscious that you're doing something that you don't want to be doing, but you're just doing it? It was like that, because I was taking it for granted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've kind of held my ground a little bit. I think I've like, kind of accomplished not taking it for granted. I've been...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, this, I can't afford a real chain. They are real. My chains were gifts. I did not buy anything that I'm wearing. I stopped wearing real jewelry. Like real diamonds and stuff. Because, A,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Black is like the only time I can go through the airport and be fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's cool, cause the airport is normally like basically being at a meet and greet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel it less now that it's bigger in a way. It's like, performing in front of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kind of would say the no respect element of the getting recognized. I want a hug. I want to talk to somebody and hear how their day went. I don't want a camera shoved in my face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gotten much worse since then. Excitement makes you be kind of stupid sometimes. I did this show last week where I went down into the crowd and I just did this to all the hands and somebody grabbed my hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With my hand in one hand, or my arm in one hand and their arm in one hand, literally going like this to try to pull me away, and it took.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, at first I was like, she probably didn't mean to cause she kinda went like, this? They're only trying to be loving and sometimes it just comes off wrong. That's it. Don't post everything you think. Should give it to myself then too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I do it now, I don't anymore, yay! That's what I was just saying. Sometimes it's better to just shut the fuck up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would tell 16 year old me to, to remember who her best friends are and remember who the people that care about her the most are and not throw them away for somebody else or for something else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really hope that I'm not an asshole. Because I'm really afraid that I will be and I really don't want to be. You better not be an asshole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, I was so bubbly and... and I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what's funny is I wasn't actually in real life. I just was new to interviews and I thought I had to be all bubbly and cute in interviews.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I watched that, when the other one came out last year, I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Avril Lavigne came to my show. Thom Yorke came to my show. Dave Grohl has come to my show. Billy Drumstrong came to my show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Julia Roberts has come to my show. Leonardo DiCaprio watched my SNL show. Backstage, I don't even know why he was there. Chris Rock. Uhm, well I didn't know for those last couple that they were in there. Bieber, I was thinking about that the whole time. Bieber and Hailey were both watching me and I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, luckily I didn't see them because if I had seen them I would have lost my shit. Woah. Lil Wayne. Oh, to perform with Lil Wayne? That's a great answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Myself, I'm tired of other people. Doing shows with other people is really stressful. Brockhampton. Tierra Whack is sick. My favorite artist is Techno.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There isn't one song that I don't like that he puts out. Every single song that that man puts out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love. Shouldn't that count as your favorite artist is an artist that puts out music that you only like? You know what I mean? Having the approach that no one's had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trying to write something no one's written. Sooo stupid. I remember that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] True. That's so funny. Uhm, yep. She's right. Uhm, yeah, I still, I'm bad at it. Honestly, I don't know because I kind of have no idea what to expect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I thought I knew, like last year, I thought I knew what the, what people would like for my album and I thought I knew, like, what would be popular and I was so wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I have no clue. I almost have a feeling that the one that I would say is my favorite, like, one right now, people might not even like it. So I have no idea. The music industry, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're all sad as hell. All these artists, we're sad as shit, dude. Everybody I know that's an artist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are sad motherfuckers. So annoying. Somebody got that tattooed. That quote. Tattooed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think it's fair to say that we're all sad because I don't think that's true. I was just 16 and friends with a bunch of other, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's a beautiful thing we get to do. I think it's really difficult and I think that's what people don't realize and that's why I wanted to say that then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to create what I want to create when I want to create it. It's going to change. No matter what. Same shit. Whatever I want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not gonna tell myself to do something different next year. I'ma just do what I want next year. That's what I'm doing this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I dress and look really different than my music. Which is true for all the old music I have or like the stuff I put out like years ago, but you gotta remember I was 13 when Ocean Eyes came out and then I was 14 when I wrote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like all the rest. And then I was 15 when I wrote Don't Smile at Me with my brother. When we put that out. Now I'm 16.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all year I've just been making music that's gonna come out when I'm 17. And then when I'm 17, I'll probably be like, yeah, this isn't me now, but it was me when I was 16. And then I'll make music when I'm 17. And then when I'm 18, I'll be like, this isn't me now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, hell yeaah. Damn. Articulate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She stated it perfectly, dude. She put it better than I could have put it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, the thing is that the ones that annoy me are the ones that are pretty true. Like my voice is really soft. And it's not belty and shit. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that people think that I, oh, I whisper in all my songs. And like, I do in a couple songs, but I feel like people just say that about when they've heard one fuckin' song. Like, listen to Wish You Were Gay. A bitch beltin'.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, my belt is not even close to a fucking Adele belt. Adele is like a literal god. But, it's just different. Like, you don't have to be shouting to be-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good at singing. My brother is my best friend. My brother is my best friend. My best friend is Phineas. But he is also my brother. Instagram. Probably Instagram. Instagram, but hurting my feelings lately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really see everything, but that's the problem is that I see everything so then I see everything I don't want to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's just, uh, this fucking mood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A fan brought me a notebook filled with huge, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Letters from my fans to me, all from different people and it's like tons of pages. It's incredible. People throw a lot of things at me on stage. I've been throwing, you know, bras, avocados. A girl gave me this huge, like, stuffed blosh that she made with this, like, velvet material.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I have been sleeping with it for a week now. So embarrassing. I wasn't gonna tell anyone that. It's really cozy though.
