[Assistant] Sugar Ray took charge inside and outside the ring. He began to book his own fights and negotiate his own contracts, even at some risk.

[Assistant] Hidden within Robinson's confident exterior was a fragile union of fear and anger. In 1947,

[Assistant] In the eighth round, Robinson dropped Doyle with the left hook. The challenger died in the hospital the next day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two months later, Robinson regained the title, beating Turpin on a TKO in the 10th before 61,000 at the Polo Grounds. Emboldened, he reached for the next level, challenging Joey Maxim for the light heavyweight crown at Yankee Stadium in June of 1952.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Robinson re-entered the ring in early 1955 at age 33 and lost his first major fight to Tiger Jones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He then regained his timing later that year, knocking out the middleweight champ Bobo Olson in the second round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1957, Robinson lost the title to slugger Gene Fulmer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four months later, with the press claiming he was through, Robinson took the title for a third time, dispatching Fullmer with what ring historians called the perfect punch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Came away with tears in their eyes. Ray died on April 12, 1989. He was 67.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The contention that Ray Robinson was the greatest fighter of all time was typically deflated by the counter argument that he wouldn't farewell against the great heavyweight.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna ask you about this. Uh, this is a pervy question, but that's what I do. For Legion, it was necessary for you to get your body molded. In what? Plastic? What do they do? Rubber?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, how freaky is that? How do you breathe? A lot of people, when they go through something like that for special effects, and I've had to do it too, they, you freak out because you feel claustrophobic, you feel like you can't breathe. How did you handle that?

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I am insulted. It's about time. Come on, when are you gonna let my men out of your booby hatch? Only if they leave town. That's a deal. You let them out and I'll have them on their way to a new field in no time. Very well. But if they come back, I will deport them and you. If they come back, I'll deport myself.

[Assistant] Don't worry, my pet. These Americans, they're all cowards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Young man, you just kicked a reasonably promising career right in the center of the pants. Have had kind of a run of hard luck, Mr. Harrigan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From now on, I can... From now on, your hard luck is gonna be your own. You're no longer with this oil company. And if I have any influence throughout the world, you're not gonna be with any other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I was supposed to be at Saintly Character. I thought I came down here to drill oil wells. Eh, it's not worth it to us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, yes, there is. You can get on that boat. It leaves in an hour. And I've given my word to the police that you'll be on it. Pick up your transportation on the way out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fired? Yep. Blacklisted too. Any floater out of the country? He had it coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

I'm with the American Oil Company. Yes, I know you are. So was I, but Harrigan fired me. Oh? What was the trouble? Oh, I don't know. I guess I was a little too handy with my duke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, uh, I'd like to cheat it, but, uh, you see, I have a lot of work to do down at the warehouse. Savvy?

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, if you don't behave yourself, I'm gonna put you over my knee and spank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that reminds me, that was a terrible build-up you gave me to cheat it. How do you know I wouldn't make a swell husband?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The truckload of armed men to Nabla's Air red-handed. Not to mention a couple of our own tribe are over there in the warehouse right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the idea? Oh, I don't know. That might come in handy if we get in trouble later on. Hey, look out!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll also lead some men here to watch out for Lazare. He's been tipped off. He won't come. That's where you're mistaken, my friend. Drop your gun.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on, honey, there's one vote. We're not gonna miss. Yeah, I'm sorry to see you go, fella, but I guess I can take care of the fights I got started, alright? Fights? What fights? You've been holding out on me? What fights?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess there's an opportunity we can't very well afford to miss. I have the double salary and the car and the swell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Certainly, you don't think I'm going to give him a contract, do you? Look, you're the only sane member of this family. You'll have to keep his lunatic going. Well, uh, it's, uh, all settled then. We'll, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play around for a couple of weeks and then we'll be back on the job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you ought to get on it and stay on it. You're about as welcome around here as the bubonic plague.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Between the safety of my country and your business, I have but one choice. Listen, gentlemen, back in the state, I did a hitch on the border patrol. I think I can stop this contraband without freezing the town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'll hide from the others when there's something good to eat. Otherwise he wouldn't have survived.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We feed him milk several times a day. He also gets a little fruit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The mother never had much milk, but his survival instinct was terrific.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's the dad, Gerard. He sleeps with his father too. He hangs himself under his belly like he did with his mum, and sleeps there. He suckles on Gerard's breasts, but of course nothing comes out, he's a man. Maybe it calms him down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll weigh him with his cuddly toy too, to make sure he's a little calmer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, that's good. You see? All's well. Everything's okay. Dad's there too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know this. Just jump up here and hold on tight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to drink a little bit more. One more sip. He doesn't want to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he learned to fight from the start. If there's something tasty going around, he'll hide it from the others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'll hold his tail in front of his face and sit there eating, without the others seeing what he has. He had to do this at an early age, otherwise he wouldn't have survived. Sometimes he stuffs everything into his mouth in one go, whatever works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he doesn't want to drink, I'll give him some fruit and try again an hour later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why we feed him before breakfast, after breakfast, before lunch, after lunch and in the evening. Bless you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He looks good. He doesn't fight back like some of the others. He's just six weeks old and I think he's in a good mood. He's gaining weight, that's the main thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today we're mixing it up and playing Push the Button from Jackbox Party Pack 6. It's got classic hidden-role mechanics with Jackbox trademark weaponized embarrassment, so you can have fun lying to your friends from just about anywhere. Here's how it's played. Everyone logs into the game on their phones and are asked to confirm their identity at the start of the game. Most players will be human.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But a couple are assigned the role of aliens. Like a typical hidden role game, the aliens do everything they can to hide the fact that they're aliens. Each turn, a player is randomly selected as captain. They'll choose a testing chamber and pick two to four players to be tested.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once the turn begins, the selected players all receive a prompt on their phones, be it a drawing, answering multiple choice questions, or just offering their valuable opinions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a few rounds, both sides unlock some extra abilities. The aliens can use hacks to swap prompts around, diverting suspicion to another player. The aliens have a limited number of hacks each game, but the humans won't know for sure when a hack has been used. Eventually, the bioscanner unlocks as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a testing chamber where two players work together with the captain to translate a set of complex alien glyphs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they succeed, the captain can scan a player and find out if they're human or alien. But only the captain sees this information, so you better hope they're trustworthy. In order to win the game, the humans need to kick all of the aliens out of the airlock. And I mean all of the aliens. If even one alien remains on the ship, the humans still lose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our first captain will choose the test for our humans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I wanna see, I wanna see some rushed art right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna see Toxic Love sang on Broadway. Such a good song. It is. Oh my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I want to preface this, I don't care about astrology generally, but I had a date that was emphatic about it being useful for like predicting cancer and other things. Oh no. I like it. That's bad, that's really bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that upside down Y thing again? Uhm, where you have three total dots, you have like two things coming together at the top, going down a little and coming- Sorry, I'm refreshing. Uh, back out and around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It droops off at the bottom, there's no like little tips. Got it. Okay. Then the next one, you've got two dots at the top, and then you've got what looks like an arc. Uhm, like it goes from left side up, then back down again, and it's got little tips flying off of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then under that is another little right angle with tips going in. Like a grasshopper face? I guess, yeaah. It kinda looks like a face as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so two dots at the top, uhm, a line that goes from lower left up curves with like, it's not a harsh angle, it's a curved angle, and then back down to lower right, but also two little nubs sticking out of it, uhm, up. Are the dots next to each other?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dots are next to each other, like left and right side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two dots total. Cause then below that arc thing I was talking about is another right angle. It's like a box that is not quite complete. It's like missing the bottom corner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nubs, yes, it does. They're sticking upwards. Okay, cool. Okay, good, good, good. Okay, and the final one, uhm, it's, it's three total dots, uhm, this is actually one in the last test where we had, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This kind of looks like an arrowhead, I guess, uhm, where the line starts lower left, goes between two dots, arcs around the leftward dot to a point at the top, then that point comes down and around through the other two, and it's got two little nubs that are pointing in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so the first two, they are two lines that are kind of diagonal in the middle. Uhm, on the upper right corner is a dot and the lower left corner, the two lines kind of splay outwards. Also, there's two lines that are parallel that like hit those diagonal lines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it doesn't look like a person really. It's like two lines like, imagine two streets that are running side by side. They're diagonal. They're going lower left to upper right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the upper right, um, above one of those lines is a dot. I think I got it. Okay. The next one is, um, two lines in the top that start pointing upwards and then curve out, uh, to like lower left and lower right. Below them is a hard right angle or a pretty hard right angle. And then below that is a dot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was gonna suggest mute, but I don't think he would have hesitated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three, two, one, vote!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seer, wake up and view the magic word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what you say? So it's Jessica. That's my guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mayor, here is your magic word. Fortune teller,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, let me see the official vote. Time is up. Werewolf, three, two, one, vote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mayor, here is your magic word. Fortune teller, wake up and view part of the magic word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Werewolves, wake up and look around for the other werewolf, and then, view the magic word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell myself that this is not the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boom. And he hit you with that short right hand. It was devastating. He hit you over your jab. He hit you with that short right hand. He was a puncher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when Rocky fought Joe Lewis in the garden, he didn't want to take the fight. Joe Lewis had to beg him to take the fight. It's the only way that he could make some money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He became a whole different individual and I think that he just ran his life out with really no direction in life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason that Joe Lewis got the opportunity to fight for the heavyweight championship was that a lot of America would really rather risk having a black champion than a Nazi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Might seem pathetic to some people, but really was quite wonderful for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How often are you surrounded by groups of twenty or more people?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is no longer a prize fight. This is about bigger stakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is about whether they have something in their little nasty DNA pool that is better and purer than our polyglot and self-evidently flawed democratic DNA pool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 23 What is the Sanctuary?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The scripture which above all others had been both the foundation,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These had been familiar words to all believers in the Lord's soon coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the lips of thousands was this prophecy repeated as the watchword of their faith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All felt that upon the events therein foretold depended their brightest expectations and most cherished hopes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These prophetic days had been shown to terminate in the autumn of 1844.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adventists then held that the earth or some portion of it was the sanctuary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They understood that the cleansing of the sanctuary was the purification of the earth by the fires of the last great day and that this would take place at the second advent. Hence the conclusion that Christ would return to the earth in 1844. But the appointed time had passed and the Lord had not appeared. The believers knew that God's word could not fail. Their interpretation of the prophecy must be at fault. But where was the mistake?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many rashly cut the knot of difficulty by denying that the 2300 days ended in 1844. No reason could be given for this except


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the prophetic days had ended in 1844, Christ would then have returned to cleanse the sanctuary by the purification of the earth by fire, and that since He had not come, the days could not have ended.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To accept this conclusion was to renounce the former reckoning of the prophetic periods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was perfect harmony in the application of all the events foretold in the explanation of that period in Daniel 9 verses 25 through 27.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sixty-nine weeks, the first 483 of the 2300 years, were to reach to the Messiah, the Anointed One.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Christ's baptism and anointing by the Holy Spirit, AD 27 exactly fulfilled the specification. In the midst of the 70th week, Messiah was to be cut off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three and a half years after his baptism, Christ was crucified in the spring of AD 31.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 70 weeks or 490 years were to pertain especially to the Jews. At the expiration of this period,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The nation sealed its rejection of Christ by the persecution of his disciples, and the apostles turned to the Gentiles, A.D. 34.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first 490 years of the 2300 having then ended, 1810 years would remain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, said the angel, shall the sanctuary be cleansed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the preceding specifications of the prophecy had been unquestionably fulfilled at the time appointed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That it was not seen that any event answering to the cleansing of the sanctuary had taken place in 1844.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] had been established by unmistakable fulfillments of prophecy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But God had led his people in the great advent movement. His power and glory had attended the work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he would not permit it to end in darkness and disappointment. To be reproached as a false infinatical excitement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would not leave his word involved in doubt and uncertainty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though many abandoned their former reckoning of the prophetic periods and denied the correctness of the movement based thereon,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Others were unwilling to renounce points of faith and experience that were sustained by the scriptures and by the witness of the Spirit of God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They believed that they had adopted sound principles of interpretation in their study of the prophecies and that it was their duty to hold fast the truths already gained and to continue the same course of biblical research.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With earnest prayer, they reviewed their position and studied the scriptures to discover their mistake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As they could see no error in their reckoning of the prophetic periods,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That there is no scripture evidence sustaining the popular view that the earth is the sanctuary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they found in the Bible a full explanation of the subject of the sanctuary, its nature, location and services,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service and a worldly sanctuary. For there was a tabernacle made, the first wherein was the candlestick,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the table and the showbread, which is called the Sanctuary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the holiest of all, which had the golden censer,

[Assistant] And the Ark of the Covenant overlaid roundabout with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had mana.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An Aaron's rod that budded and the tables of the covenant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sanctuary to which Paul here refers was the tabernacle built by Moses at the command of God as the earthly dwelling place of the Most High.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them. Exodus 25 verse 8 was the direction given to Moses while in the mount with God. The Israelites were journeying through the wilderness and the tabernacle was so constructed that it could be removed from place to place. Yet it was a structure of great magnificence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Its walls consisted of upright boards heavily plated with gold and set in sockets of silver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While the roof was formed of a series of curtains or coverings, the outer of skins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The innermost of fine linen beautifully wrought with figures of cherubim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Besides the outer court, which contained the altar of burnt offering,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tabernacle itself consisted of two apartments called the Holy and the Most Holy Place, separated by a rich and beautiful curtain or veil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A similar veil closed the entrance to the first apartment. In the holy place was the candlestick on the south.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With its seven lamps giving light to the sanctuary both by day and by night. On the north stood the table of showbread.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And before the veil separating the holy from the most holy was the golden altar of incense, from which the cloud of fragrance with the prayers of Israel was daily ascending before God. In the most holy place stood the ark,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Surmounted by two cherubim, one at each end, and all wrought of solid gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this apartment, the divine presence was manifested in the cloud of glory between the cherubim. After the settlement of the Hebrews in Canaan,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tabernacle was replaced by the temple of Solomon which, though a permanent structure, and upon a larger scale,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Observed the same proportions and was similarly furnished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this form the sanctuary existed, except while it lay in ruins in Daniel's time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until it's destruction by the Romans in AD 70.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the only sanctuary that ever existed on the earth of which the Bible gives any information. This was declared by Paul to be the sanctuary of the first covenant. But has the new covenant no sanctuary? Turning again to the book of Hebrews,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The seekers for truth found that the existence of a second or new covenant sanctuary was implied in the words of Paul already quoted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service and a worldly sanctuary. And the use of the word also


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum. We have such a high priest


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sanctuary of the first covenant was pitched by man, built by Moses. This is pitched by the Lord, not by man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that sanctuary, the earthly priests perform their service. In this, Christ, our great high priest, ministers at God's right hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One sanctuary was on earth, the other is in heaven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look that thou maketh them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount. Exodus 25 verses 9 and 40.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Paul says that the first tabernacle was a figure for the time then present in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That its holy places were patterns of things in the heavens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the priests who offered gifts according to the law served unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, and that Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sanctuary in heaven in which Jesus ministers in our behalf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is the great original of which the sanctuary built by Moses was a copy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God placed his spirit upon the builders of the earthly sanctuary. The artistic skill displayed in its construction was a manifestation of divine wisdom. The walls had the appearance of massive gold, reflecting in every direction the light of the seven lamps of the golden candlestick. The table of showbread and the altar of incense glittered like burnished gold. The gorgeous curtain which formed the ceiling


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The visible manifestation of God's glory, before which none but the high priest could enter and live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The matchless splendor of the earthly tabernacle reflected to human vision the glories of that heavenly temple where Christ, our forerunner, ministers for us before the throne of God. The abiding place of the King of Kings, where thousands, thousands minister unto him,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Its shining guardians veil their faces in adoration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could find in the most magnificent structure ever reared by human hands, but a faint reflection of its vastness and glory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet important truths concerning the heavenly sanctuary and the great work there carried forward for man's redemption.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're taught by the Earthly Sanctuary and its services.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Apostle John was granted a view of the temple of God in heaven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here the prophet was permitted to behold the first apartment of the sanctuary in heaven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he looked within the inner veil upon the holy of holies. Here he beheld the ark of his testament.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] represented by the sacred chest constructed by Moses to contain the law of God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus those who were studying the subject found indisputable proof of the existence of a sanctuary in heaven. Moses made the earthly sanctuary after a pattern which was shown him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paul teaches that that pattern was the true sanctuary which is in heaven. And John testifies that he saw it in heaven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the temple in heaven, the dwelling place of God, His throne is established in righteousness and judgment. In the most holy place is His law.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The great rule of right by which all mankind are tested.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Ark that enshrines the Tables of the Law is covered with the Mercy Seat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before which Christ pleads his blood in the sinner's behalf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus is represented the union of justice and mercy in the plan of human redemption.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This union, infinite wisdom alone could devise and infinite power accomplish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a union that fills all heaven with wonder and adoration. The cherubim of the earthly sanctuary, looking reverently down upon the mercy seat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Represent the interest with which the heavenly host contemplate the work of redemption.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the mystery of mercy into which angels desire to look. That God can be just while he justifies the repenting sinner and renews his intercourse with the fallen race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Christ could stoop to raise unnumbered multitudes from the abyss of ruin


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And clothe them with the spotless garments of his own righteousness to unite with angels who have never fallen and to dwell forever in the presence of God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The work of Christ as man's intercessor is presented in that beautiful prophecy of Zechariah concerning him, whose name is the branch. Says the prophet


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He shall build the temple of the Lord, and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his, the Father's, throne. And he shall be a priest upon his throne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By his sacrifice and mediation, Christ is both the foundation and the builder of the Church of God. The Apostle Paul points to him as the chief cornerstone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth into a holy temple in the Lord.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To Christ belongs the glory of redemption for the fallen race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through the eternal ages the song of the ransomed ones will be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unto Him that loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Revelation 1 verses 5 and 6.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He shall sit and rule upon his throne, and he shall be a priest upon his throne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not now upon the throne of his glory, the kingdom of glory has not yet been ushered in. Not until his work as a mediator shall be ended will God give unto him the throne of his father David, a kingdom of which there shall be no end. Luke 1 verses 32 and 33.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who was in all points tempted like as we are yet without sin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That he might be able to succor them that are tempted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Isaiah 53 verse 4, Hebrews 4 verse 15, chapter 2 verse 18, first John 2 verse 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His intercession is that of a pierced and broken body of a spotless life. The wounded hands, the pierced side, the marred feet plead for fallen man whose redemption was purchased at such infinite cost. And the council of peace shall be between them both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The love of the Father, no less than the Son, is the fountain of salvation for the lost race. Said Jesus to his disciples before he went away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I say not unto you that I will pray the Father for you, for the Father himself loveth you. John 16 verses 26 and 27.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in the ministration in the sanctuary above, the council of peace shall be between them both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3 verse 16.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The question, what is the sanctuary, is clearly answered in the scriptures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The term sanctuary as used in the Bible refers first to the tabernacle built by Moses as a pattern of heavenly things and secondly to the true tabernacle in heaven to which the earthly sanctuary pointed. At the death of Christ, the typical service ended.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The true tabernacle in heaven is the sanctuary of the new covenant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as the prophecy of Daniel 8, 14 is fulfilled in this dispensation, the sanctuary to which it refers must be the sanctuary of the New Covenant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There had been no sanctuary on earth for many centuries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unto 2,300 days, then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unquestionably points to the sanctuary in heaven. But the most important question remains to be answered. What is the cleansing of the sanctuary?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Hebrews 9, the cleansing of both the earthly and the heavenly sanctuary is plainly taught.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost all things are by the law purged with blood, and without shedding a blood is no remission.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these, the blood of animals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these, even the precious blood of Christ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cleansing, both in the typical and in the real service, must be accomplished with blood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the former with the blood of animals. In the latter with the blood of Christ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paul states as the reason why this cleansing must be performed with blood that without shedding a blood is no remission. Remission or putting away of sin is the work to be accomplished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But how could there be sin connected with the sanctuary, either in heaven or upon the earth?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This may be learned by reference to the symbolic service, for the priests who officiated on earth served unto the example and shadow of heavenly things. Hebrews 8 verse 5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ministration of the earthly sanctuary consisted of two divisions. The priests ministered daily in the holy place,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While once a year the High Priest performed a special work of atonement in the Most Holy Place for the cleansing of the sanctuary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Day by day the repentant sinner brought his offering to the door of the tabernacle, and placing his hand upon the victim's head, confessed his sins,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus in figure transferring them from himself to the innocent sacrifice. The animal was then slain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without shedding of blood, says the apostle, there is no remission of sin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The life of the flesh is in the blood. Leviticus 17 verse 11


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The broken law of God demanded the life of the transgressor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In some cases the blood was not taken into the holy place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both ceremonies alike symbolize the transfer of the sin from the penitent to the sanctuary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such was the work that went on day by day throughout the year. The sins of Israel were thus transferred to the sanctuary, and a special work became necessary for their removal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An atonement was also to be made for the altar to cleanse it and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel. Leviticus 16 verses 16 and 19.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once a year on the great day of atonement, the priest entered the most holy place for the cleansing of the sanctuary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The work there performed completed the yearly round administration. On the day of atonement, two kids of the goats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] were brought to the door of the tabernacle and lots were cast upon them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One lot for the Lord and the other lot for the scapegoat. Leviticus 16 verse 8


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The goat upon which fell the lot for the Lord was to be slain as a sin offering for the people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] was also to be sprinkled upon the altar of incense that was before the veil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, in all their transgressions, in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The scapegoat came no more into the camp of Israel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the man who led him away was required to wash himself and his clothing with water before returning to the camp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole ceremony was designed to impress the Israelites with the holiness of God and His abhorrence of sin, and further, to show them that they could not come in contact with sin without becoming polluted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every man was required to afflict his soul while this work of atonement was going forward. All business was to be laid aside and the whole congregation of Israel were to spend the day in solemn humiliation before God


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With prayer, fasting, and deep searching of heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Important truths concerning the atonement are taught by the typical service. A substitute was accepted in the sinner's stead, but the sin was not cancelled by the blood of the victim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The means was thus provided by which it was transferred to the sanctuary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the offering of blood the sinner acknowledged the authority of the law, confessed his guilt in transgression,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And expressed his desire for pardon through faith in a Redeemer to come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The high priest having taken an offering from the congregation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He took the sins upon himself and bore them from the sanctuary. Placing his hands upon the head of the scapegoat he confessed over him all these sins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus in figure, transferring them from himself to the goat. The goat then bore them away


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they were regarded as forever separated from the people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such was the service performed unto the example and shadow of heavenly things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what was done in type in the ministration of the earthly sanctuary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] is done in reality in the ministration of the heavenly sanctuary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After his ascension, our Savior began his work as our high priest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now to appear in the presence of God for us. Hebrews 9 verse 24


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ministration of the priest throughout the year in the first department of the sanctuary within the veil, which formed the door and separated the holy place from the outer court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] represents the work of ministration upon which Christ entered at his ascension


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the work of the priest in the daily ministration to present before God the blood of the sin offering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also the incense which ascended with the prayers of Israel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So did Christ plead his blood before the Father in behalf of sinners, and present before him also, with the precious fragrance of his own righteousness, the prayers of penitent believers. Such was the work of ministration in the first department of the sanctuary in heaven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thither the faith of Christ's disciples followed him as he ascended from their sight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here their hope centered, which hope we have, said Paul, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil, whether the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For eighteen centuries this work of ministration continued in the first department of the sanctuary. The blood of Christ, pleaded in behalf of penitent believers, secured their pardon and acceptance with the Father.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet their sins still remained upon the books of record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As in the typical service there was a work of atonement at the close of the year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So before Christ's work for the redemption of men is completed,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a work of atonement for the removal of sin from the sanctuary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is the service which began when the 2300 days ended. At that time, as foretold by Daniel the prophet, our high priest entered the Most Holy to perform the last division of his solemn work, to cleanse the sanctuary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As anciently the sins of the people were by faith placed upon the sin offering,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And through its blood, transferred in figure to the earthly sanctuary,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in the new covenant the sins of the repentant are by faith placed upon Christ and transferred in fact to the heavenly sanctuary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as the typical cleansing of the earthly was accomplished by the removal of the sins by which it had been polluted, so the actual cleansing of the heavenly is to be accomplished


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There must be an examination of the books of record to determine who, through repentance of sin and faith in Christ, are entitled to the benefits of his atonement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His reward is with him to give to every man according to his works. Revelation 22 verse 12


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus those who followed in the light of the prophetic word saw that instead of coming to the earth at the termination of the 2300 days in 1844,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Christ then entered the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary to perform the closing work of atonement, preparatory to His coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was seen also that while the sin offering pointed to Christ as a sacrifice and the high priest represented Christ as a mediator, the scapegoat typified Satan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The author of sin upon whom the sins of the truly penitent will finally be placed. When the high priest by virtue of the blood of the sin offering removed the sins from the sanctuary, he placed them upon the scapegoat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Christ, by virtue of his own blood, removes the sins of his people from the heavenly sanctuary at the close of his ministration, he will place them upon Satan, who, in the execution of the judgment, must bear the final penalty. The scapegoat was sent away into a land not inhabited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never to come again into the congregation of Israel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So will Satan be forever banished from the presence of God and his people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he will be blotted from existence in the final destruction of sin and sinners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I can't, because uhm, I'm not rank 100 yet, so. Alright, brakes! Let's go for race brakes!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay. I'm done with the wheel. Oh, wheel collar? Does that even work? Oh no, it's not available. Alright, so I put my wheel on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm actually surprised how easy this is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you want to go to the beach and then drive around on water and maybe find like a huge boat or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, we just learned about this application.inputBox function, which, uhm, which when we put a type here, it, it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just gonna comment out these two pieces of code here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now I will start writing some code. Let me go up to top here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what I'm gonna do is do this, uh, dim numbers range as range. So I want the user to give me a range of cells on the worksheet and it's going to, I'm going to hold that range that they give me in this number range, in this number range object that is, has a data type,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, an object type of range. It's a range object.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then what I'm gonna do is dim C as range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Double and max address as string. So I'll use all these variables in the upcoming code.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what I want to do now is set number range equal to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my prompt, oops, application dot input box, and my prompt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my title will be Find Max.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And default, I'm just going to have nothing for default.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that parameter, it's optional. I'm going to leave it blank. I'm going to leave those left in the top parameter blank, the help file blank, the help context ID blank. And then this last one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What this does, it's going to pop up an input box and the user is going to select a range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the user is going to provide me a range effect and that's the only thing that's going to be acceptable. Versus up here, I put the number 1 and that means...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can only give me numbers. And those numbers are here again in that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ExcelVBASQL.com, zero means a formula, one's a number, two's a string.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now once they give me a range, I can do something with that range. And what I'm going to do is find the maximum value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the range. And to do that, all I have to do is something like this, a foreach loop. Uh, first I'm gonna set max value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever, whatever is the first value in the first cell. So I'm going to put number range dot cells comma one comma one dot value. And I'll show you what this means in a second and then max address.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is equal to numbers, range dot cells, one comma one, dot address.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they're going to pass in this range and I'm going to put it in, I'm going to store that range in this range object, numbers range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Row one, column one in whatever range they give me. And then I could look at the value in that cell by using this dot value property, or I could look at the address of that cell by looking, by doing the dot address property. Now I can loop over this range that they give me by doing this for each C in, uh, numbers, range, dot cells,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all I want to do is that if c.value is greater than the max value, then I want to do something


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just want to, I found a new maximum, so I want to put max value is equal to c.value and max address.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] is equal to c dot address. So all I want to do is they pass in a range. I want to find the maximum value in that range and I want to know what address


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's that that maximum value is in. So now I will display.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Max value and its address. And to do that I'll just do a message box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this for each loop, let me just put a comment in here. Loops over the range the user provided.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Loops over the cells in the range the user provided.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All I'm doing is, if one of the cells contains a value that's bigger than the max value, then I have a new max. So, this is a new max. New max is found.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is the address of the new Macs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I want to find the maximum value in a range, and all this does is the initial maximum value


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An initial address is address of the first cell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's put a break point here. I'll put it right here and let's run this code.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's say I have some numbers here, like 4, 6, 3, uh, 2, oh yeaah, just 4, 6, and 2. If I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if I run this now, I get to this line where I'm going to display this input box and I will run this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's my input box. It says enter a range of cells to find max.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'll enter this, look it, I'm just, I'm selecting a range of cells. So I give it a range, I click okay. And now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The max value is going to be the first cell in that range. Notice the first cell is four because I had, I selected that range of numbers. So the max value, I'll just bring up the locals window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The max value is four because it's the first cell in the range. I selected this range of three cells here. The first cell in that range is four. There it is, four. Because I did


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's because I did numberrange.sells11.address.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I have my max value 4 and my address j4, which is this cell here. And now I'm going to loop over this range and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that was the first time through the loop and 4 is not greater than 4. I already, I already know that, right? I'm just looping down this range and I'm in the first cell where the value is 4. That's what c.value is. It's 4. The next time through the loop, c.value is gonna be 6 and that's gonna be greater than 4.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if I step into this, now I have a new max value, which is going to be 6. You see it changed to 6 here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I do it again and now I'm looking at c.value. Well, that's going to be two here because I'm looping through the range and that's not bigger than six.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I step out of that and now I'm out of my for each loop because there's only three cells here and I looped three times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now I display a message box that says the max value is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever's in the max value variable at whatever's in the max address variable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I hit this and it says the max value in the range is 6 at J5. So there's the 6 at J5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I can just stop it there. Now let me show you if I put a hundred, a thousand over here. Seven thousand, seven, seven hundred thousand there. Uh, six hundred sixty-six here. Uh, ninety-nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine. The biggest one over there. And whatever, something over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let me select our different range, so I'll run this code again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I run the code, it asks me for a range. I go here and look at the range I'm selecting. It's a big range, it goes from here all the way to here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Change this wording but it says the max value is this number here, like 999.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trillion or whatever that is at L11. Well, we're in column L and we're in row 11. And I click okay. So let me change that text down here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The max value in the range is, oh that's true. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's all this video did. It displayed an input box and the main thing is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You set the type of input you want with this last parameter, the type parameter. And I put 8 in there because I wanted a range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One other thing is, let's see one more thing. If I click play and I click cancel, I get an error. And it says object required. And that's because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I clicked cancel, let me just end this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see what happens. I'll stop this here and I want to see what number range is when I click cancel. So let me run this. I click cancel and it doesn't even go to, it doesn't even let me assign the cancel, the cancel to number range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So right now, I'm just going to show you what you can do about that. You can do something like this on error, go to cancelled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what this does is, if the user presses cancel,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not gonna do it often at all. In fact, we're gonna do it rarely. But in this case, I'm just gonna show you how to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there's an error, you put this, if you want to handle an error, one way of doing it is this. You can say on error, go to, and then put a label in your code. And our label is going to be right at the very end of the code where we end the sub.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now, if there's an error, because I wrote that line, on error go to cancel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next line of code is going to be whatever is below this label. It's going to jump over all this stuff. It's not going to do any of the code. So if I run the code now and I press cancel, it works fine because I handled that error, uh, when the cancel, the cancel button is clicked. So that's all this video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is showing you how to use input boxes, how to take a range or a number or whatever you want with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With that type thing, not the type thing, the type parameter here. So use that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And take some input from your user. These are very useful things. And then you could do things with whatever they give you. In this case, we did a pretty complex example where we took a range as our input and then we looped over the range and found the maximum value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing to remember is when you're working with objects, you gotta use this set keyword. So because this is a range object, you have to do set number range equal to something. Uhm, so that's it for this video. We'll move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna ask you some Australian-based questions and you buzz in if you know the answer. Whoever gets the most right is the best Australian, besides my wife, Portia de Rossi, of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this is simply splendid, said Jill. I'm so glad we freed the gnomes as well as ourselves when we cut off the witch's head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm so glad they aren't really horrid and gloomy any more than the prince really was, well, what he seemed like. As all very well, Pole, said Puddlegum cautiously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But those gnomes didn't look to me like chaps who were just running away. They looked more like military formations, if you ask me. Do you look me in the face, Mr. Golg, and tell me you weren't preparing for battle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be sworn to be an honest gnome, said the prince. Let go of it, friend Puddlegum. As for me, good Golg,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have been enchanted like you and your fellows, and have but newly remembered myself. And now one question more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know the way to those new diggings by which the Sorceress meant to lead out an army against Overland?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? asked Eustace anxiously. What's so dreadful about it? Toe near the top!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hooray! Now you're talking, cried Eustace. And Jill said, but it's not horrid at all out there. We like it. We li-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Puddlegum climbed up behind Jill and Golg led the way. As he went,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He kept shouting out the good news that the witch was dead and that the four overlanders were not dangerous. And those who heard him shouted it onto others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that in a few minutes, the whole of Underland was ringing with shouts and cheers, and gnomes by hundreds and thousands leaping, turning cartwheels, standing on their heads, playing leapfrog, and letting off huge crackers, came pressing round coal black and snowflakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the prince had to tell the story of his own enchantment and deliverance at least ten times. In this way, they came to the edge of the chasm. It was about a thousand feet long and perhaps two hundred wide. They dismounted from their horses and came to the edge and looked down into it. A strong heat smote up into their faces


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The depth of the chasm was so bright that at first it dazzled their eyes and they could see nothing. When they got used to it, they thought they could make out a river of fire. And on the banks of that river,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What seemed to be fields and groves of an unbearable hot brilliance, though they were dim compared with the river. There were blues, reds, greens, and whites all jumbled together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very good stained glass window with the tropical sun staring straight through it at midday might have something of the same effect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when they turned to look at him, they could see nothing but blackness for a few minutes. Their eyes were so dazzled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jill took it for granted that none of the others would listen to such an idea for a moment. To her horror, she heard the prince saying,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it may be no mortal man has ever looked into business before, or will ever have the chance again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I know not how, as the years pass, I shall bear to remember that it was once in my power to have probed the uttermost pit of earth and that I forebore. But could a man live there? You do not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would say we could not now refuse the adventures of Bism without a great impeachment to our honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As if we didn't know that we're below the deepest mines even here. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My father went to the world's end, said really unthoughtfully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be a marvelous thing if his son went to the bottom of the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your highness wants to see your father while he's still alive, which I think he'd prefer, said Puddleglum, it's about time we were getting on to that road to the diggings. And I won't go down that hole, whatever anyone says.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I fear it must be so, said the prince with a deep sigh, but I have left half of my heart in the land of Bism. Please beg Jill. Where is the road? asked Puddleglum. There are lamps all the way, said Gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your honour can see the beginning of the road on the far side of a chasm. How long will the lamps burn for? asked Pobleglum. At that moment, a hissing, scorching voice, like the voice of fire itself, they wondered afterwards if it could have been a salamander's, came whistling up out of the very depths of Bism.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With ear shattering cracks and creaks, the rocks moved. Already while they looked, the chasm was narrower. From every side, belated gnomes were rushing into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And either because her strong blast of hot air was beating up from the bottom, or for some other reason, they could be seen floating downwards like leaves. Thicker and thicker they floated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Till their blackness almost blotted out the fiery river and the groves of live gems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shouted gold and dived. Only a few were left to follow him. The chasm was now no broader than a stream. Now it was narrow as the sit in a pillar box. Now it was only an intensely bright thread.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, with a shock like a thousand good strains crashing into a thousand pairs of buffers, the lips of rock closed. The hot maddening smell vanished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The travelers were alone in an underworld which now looked far blacker than before. Pale, dim, and dreary, the lamps marked the direction of the road. Now, said Puddlegum, there's ten o' one we've already stayed too long, but we may as well make a try.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those lamps will give out in five minutes, they should wander. They urge the horses to a canter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lamp's going on and upwards as far as the eye could reach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But at the bottom of the valley, the lamps shone on moving water. Haste, cried the prince. They galloped down the slope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would have been nasty enough at the bottom even five minutes later for the tide was running up the valley like a mill race. And if it had come to swimming, the horses could hardly have won over, but it was still only a foot or two deep. And though it swished terribly around the horse's legs, they reached the far side in safety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then began the slow weary march uphill with nothing ahead to look at but the pale lamps which went up and up as far as the eye could reach. When they looked back, they could see the water spreading. All the hills of Underland were now islands, and it was only on those islands that the lamps remained. Every moment some distant light vanished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon there would be total darkness everywhere except on the road they were following.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't you remember how we had to go downhill to reach the Sunless Sea? I shouldn't think the water has reached Father Time's cave yet. Well that's as maybe, said Pottelglum. Why more interested in the lamps on this road? They look a bit sickly, don't they? They always did, said Jill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, said Puddleglum, but they're greener now. You don't mean to say you think they're going out, cried Eustace. Well...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However they work, you can't expect them to last forever, you know, replied the Marsh Wiggle. But don't let your spirits down, Scrub. I've got my eye on the water, too, and I don't think it's rising as fast as it did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Small comfort, friend, said the prince, if we cannot find our way out. I cry you mercy, all. I am to blame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For my pride and fantasy which delayed us by the mouth of the land of Bism. Now, let us write on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the hour or so that followed, Jill sometimes thought that Puddlegum was right about the lamps, and sometimes thought that it was only her imagination. Meanwhile, the land was changing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The roof of Underland was so near that even by that dull light, they could now see it quite distinctly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the great rugged walls of underland could be seen drawing closer on each side. The road in fact was leading them up into a steep tunnel. They began to pass picks and shovels and barrows and other signs that the diggers had recently been at work. If anyone could be sure of getting out, all this was very cheering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the thought of going on into a hole that would get narrower and narrower and harder to turn back in was very unpleasant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At last the roof was so low that Puddlegum and the Prince knocked their heads against it. The party dismounted and led the horses. The road was uneven here, and one had to pick one's steps with some care. That was how Jill noticed the growing darkness. There was no doubt about it now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The faces of the others looked strange and ghastly in the green glow. Then all at once, she couldn't help it. Jill gave a little scream. One light, the next one ahead, went out altogether. The one behind them did the same. Then they were in absolute darkness. Courage, friends, came Prince Rillian's voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether we live or die, Aslan will be our good lord. That's right, sir, said Petalblum's voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You must always remember there's one good thing about being trapped down here. It'll save funeral expenses. Jill held her tongue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you don't want other people to know how frightened you are, this is always a wise thing to do. It's your voice that gives you a way. We might as well go on and stand here said Eustace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when she heard the tremble in his voice, Jill knew how wise she'd be not to trust her own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Puddlegum and Eustace went first, with their arms stretched out in front of them, for fear of blundering into anything. Jill and the prince followed, leading the horses. I say, came Eustace's voice much later, are my eyes going wrong, or is there a patch of light up there? Before anyone could answer him, Puddlegum called out, Stop! I'm up against a dead end, and it's earth, not rock. What were you saying, Scrooge?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the lion, said the prince. Eustace is right. There is a sort of, but it's not daylight, said Jill. It's only a cold blue sort of light. Better than nothing though, said Eustace. Can we get up to it? It's not right overhead, said Puddlegum. It's above us, but it's in this wall that I've run into. How would it be, Pole, if you got on my shoulders and saw whether you could get up to it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good sources. The tip tells us you're here to get Big Jim. You're kidding. I hear he rode you out of town seven years ago. So what? So it's four o'clock. Take my advice and be out of Chicago by seven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm breaking my head on this case, and if I have to, I'll break other heads. Nobody in Chicago's more anxious to solve this case than I am. Alright. Yes, I will. Goodbye, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't know how hot. Working kinda late, aren't you, Chief? No sense in going home. I got a telephone layer, too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we're closing in on the wrong man. Now look Chuck, I'm tired and it's hot. Did you come in here just to tell me that? Listen Chief, I saw Reagan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're talking like a sentimental sap who had a chance to bring a killer in and didn't. You're talking like a suspended cop. So save your talk until Monday morning for the commissioner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure you hear it all the time, but I love it when you do President Trump. I think it's the greatest-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suppose I have one vector, and my question is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps I would say that I have a generic vector b, and I'm asking, is it in the span of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To say that one vector is in the span of a bunch of other vectors is to say that this vector can be written as a linear combination of these other vectors. That is, can I take some linear combination where I'm writing the a1 down, where I'm writing the a2 down, and I'm writing the a3 down,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I can possibly have various coefficients, and notice what I'm going to do here. I'm going to denote my scalars as x1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] x2 and x3, and then the question is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I set that linear combination equal to b? Nope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used the symbols x1 down to x3 because those are our typical symbols for variables. And it's worth pointing out that these scalars here are the variables. The a1, the a2, the a3, they're fixed. They're three vectors as they are in this particular example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what we're asking is, what possible scalars can we multiply these vectors to, such as this linear combination?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] is gonna add up to b. So the scalars are gonna be the variables here, and hence I denote them with x1, x2, and x3. No, they do not have hats on them because they are scalars, not vectors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What this is, is just a system of linear equations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Indeed, each of these vectors has, in this example, three different components. So let's look at the top row.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, x1 times a1 is, looking up there, this is the first component of a1, so I'm going to get some vector that's going to be x1, just times 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I want to look over here at the a2. I am my first component, that's a minus 3. And the minus 3 is being multiplied by x2, so I'm going to write minus 3 x2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then if I look here in A3, its first component is going to be 2, and so I'm adding twice, and this is being multiplied by x3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we're asking, can, can this entry, can this vector be equal to the b vector? Can it be equal to minus 1, 4, 11? This is a system of equations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And notice what's happened here is that the, the variables, the x1, the x2, and the x3,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those variables in this system of linear equations were the scalars in my previous linear combination. They were my scalars coming from this formula.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now this is a system of linear equations, and I know how to solve that first step. Maybe I can put it in matrix form.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now that I have the augmented matrix, to be able to solve this, to be able to solve for the x1, the x2, and the x3, I'm going to do Gaussian elimination, and that's going to give me my variables. So let's go ahead and do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so by going through the Gaussian elimination, we've managed to get these values x1 is equal to 30, x2 is equal to 11, and x3 is equal to 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this method solves this entire class of problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you get this linear system, you transit into a matrix, you solve that matrix as you know how to do, and then you get this final result.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, if I wanted to verify that I hadn't made any mistakes, I could see whether this actually was true. This minus 1 for 11 vector, is it the case that this is just going to be equal to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 30 times the first vector, 1 to minus 4, plus 11 times the second vector, minus 3, minus 5, and 13, and then plus the third vector to minus 1 and minus 12.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She didn't very much want a visit even from an eagle, but she opened the window and looked out. Instantly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a great whirring noise, the creature alighted on the windowsill and stood there filling up the whole window so that Jill had to step back to make room for it. It was the owl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Toowoo, toowoo, said the owl, don't make a noise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll go and wick the other human, then I'll come back for you. Better change these court clothes and put on something you can travel in. I'll be back in two twos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a guide's knife on the belt of the shorts which might come in useful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And added a few of the things that have been left in the room for her by the girl with the willowy hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She chose a short cloak that came down to her knees and had a hood. Just the thing if it rains, she thought. A few handkerchiefs and a comb. Then she sat down and waited. She was getting sleepy again when the owl returned. Now we're ready, it said. You'd better lead the way, said Jill. I don't know all these passages yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To woo, said the owl, we're not going through the castle, that would never do, you must ride on me, we shall fly. Oh, said Jill, and stood with her mouth open, not much liking the idea, shan't I be far too heavy for you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll put out that lamp first. As soon as the lamp was out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bit of the night which you saw through the window looked less dark, no longer black, but grey. The owl stood on the windowsill with his back to the room and raised his wings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jill had to climb onto his short, fat body and get her knees under the wings and grip tight. The feathers felt beautifully warm and soft, but there was nothing to hold on by. I wonder how Scrubb liked his ride, thought Jill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One patch of watery silver showed where the moon was hiding above the clouds. The fields beneath her looked grey and the trees black. There was a certain amount of wind, a hushing


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, don't, please, said Jill, don't jerk like that, you nearly threw me off. Pickle pardon, said the owl. I was just nabbing a bet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a large black looking object was looming up towards them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jill had just time to see that it was a tower, a partly ruinous tower, with a lot of ivy on it, she thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the moment she slipped off the owl's back, she knew, as one usually does somehow, that it was quite crowded. And when voices began saying out of the darkness, from every direction,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we're all here. Let us hold a Parliament of Owls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] True for you, that's the right thing to do, said several voices. Ah, for a moment, said Scrub's voice, there's something I want to say first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doo doo doo, said the owls, and Jill said, Fire ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suppose all you chaps, uh, owls, I mean, said Scrub, I suppose you all know that King Caspian the Tenth in his young days sailed to the eastern end of the world. Well, I was with him on that journey, with him and Reaper Cheap the Mouse, and the Lord Drinion and all of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know it sounds hard to believe, but people don't grow older in our world at the same speed as they do in yours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what I want to say is this, that I'm the King's man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if this Parliament of Owls has any sort of plot against the King, I'm having nothing to do with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't mean that Trumpkin is a traitor. I used to hear a lot about him in the old days at sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Caspian, the king, I mean, trusted him absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But surely he'd let us go, said Scrub, when he knew who I was and who had sent me. Sent both of us, put in Jill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could never make him see that this might be the time for making an exception to the rule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might think he'd taken some notice of us, because we're owls, and everyone knows how wise owls are, said someone else. But he's so old now, he'd only say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there were sounds of owlish laughter all round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The children began to see that the Narnians all felt about Trumpkin as people feel at school about some crusty teacher whom everyone is a little afraid of, and everyone makes fun of, and nobody really dislikes. How long is the King going to be away, asked Scrub. If only we knew, said Glimfeather.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the king said he would make one more attempt before he died to see Aslan face to face again, and ask his advice about who is to be king after him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jill kept quiet at this and hoped Scrubb would be sporting enough not to tell all the owls why this hadn't happened. He was, or very nearly, that is, he only muttered under his breath, well, it wasn't my fault, before saying out loud, very well, we'll have to manage without it. But there's just one thing more I want to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why did it have to be so jolly secret meeting in a ruin at the dead of night and all that? To woo, to woo, hooted several owls. Where should we meet? When would anyone meet except at night? The sea, explained a glimphether.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'd do things by day, in broad, blazing sunlight, when everyone ought to be asleep. And as a result, at night, they're so blind and stupid, you can't get a word out of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we owls have gotten to the habit of meeting at sensible hours on our own when we want to talk about things. I see, said Scrub. Well now, let's get on. Tell us all about the lost prince.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then an old owl, not Glimfeather, related the story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About ten years ago it appeared when Rillian, the son of Caspian, was a very young knight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He rode with the queen, his mother on a May morning in the north parts of Narnia. They had many squires and ladies with them and all wore garlands of fresh leaves on their heads and horns at their sides. But they had no hounds with them for they were maing, not hunting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the warm part of the day, they came to a pleasant glade where a fountain flowed freshly out of the earth, and there they dismounted, and ate and drank, and were merry. After a time, the Queen felt sleepy, and they spread tokes for her on the grassy bank, and Prince Rillian, with the rest of the party, went a little way from her, that their tales and laughter might not wake her. And so presently,

[Assistant] A great serpent came out of the thick wood and stung the queen in her hand.

[Assistant] All heard her cry out and rushed towards her and Rillian was first at her side. He saw the worm gliding away from her and made after it with his sword drawn. It was great, shining and as green as poison so that he could see it well, but it glided away into thick bushes and he could not come at it. So he returned to his mother and found them all busy about her.

[Assistant] But they were busy in vain, for at the first glance of her face, Rillian knew that no physics in the world would do her good. As long as the life was in her, she seemed to be trying hard to tell him something, but she could not speak clearly, and whatever her message was, she died without delivering it. It was then hardly ten minutes since they had heard her cry. They carried the dead queen back to Careparavelle,

[Assistant] The prince took his mother's death very hardly, as well he might.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was always riding on the northern marches of Narnia hunting for that venomous worm to kill it and be avenged. No one remarked much on this.

[Assistant] So the Prince came home from these wanderings looking tired and distraught. But about a month after the Queen's death, some said they could see a change in him.

[Assistant] His chief friend among the older courtiers was the Lord Drinian.

[Assistant] Your highness must soon give over seeking the worm. There is no true vengeance on a witless brute as there might be on a man. You weary yourself in vain. The prince answered him,

[Assistant] My lord, I have almost forgotten the worm this seven days.

[Assistant] Drinion asked him why, if that was so, he rode so continually in the northern woods. My lord, said the prince, I have seen there the most beautiful thing that was ever made. Fair prince, said Drinion, of your courtesy, let me ride with you tomorrow, that I also may see this fair thing. With a good will, said Rillian.

[Assistant] And in good time on the next day they saddled their horses and rode a great gallop into the northern woods and delighted at that same fountain where the Queen got her death.

[Assistant] Drinion thought it strange that the prince should choose that place of all places to linger in. And there they rested till it came to high noon. And at noon, Drinion looked up and saw the most beautiful lady he had ever seen. And she stood at the north side of the fountain.

[Assistant] And said no word, but beckoned to the prince with her hand, as if she bade him come to her. And she was tall and great, shining, and wrapped in a thin garment as green, as poison. And the prince stared at her like a man out of his wits. But suddenly the lady was gone. Drinion knew not where, and the two returned to Kaer Paravell.

[Assistant] It's stuck in Drillian's mind that this shining green woman was evil.

[Assistant] Drinion doubted very much whether he ought not to tell this adventure to the king, but he had little wish to be a blab, a tale bearer, and so he held his tongue. But afterwards he wished he had spoken, for next day, Prince Rulian rode out alone. That night he came not back.

[Assistant] And from that hour, no trace of him was ever found in Narnia, nor any neighboring land, and neither his horse, nor his hat, nor his cloak, nor anything else was ever found.

[Assistant] Then Drinian in the bitterness of his heart went to Caspian and said, Lord King, slay me speedily as a great traitor, for by my silence I have destroyed your son. And he told him the story. Then Caspian
