[2466.62 --> 2467.40] we are looking
[2467.40 --> 2468.64] in the book of Revelation
[2468.64 --> 2469.48] throughout Advent
[2469.48 --> 2470.02] and Christmas,
[2470.18 --> 2471.02] and there's a text
[2471.02 --> 2472.52] in Revelation 14,
[2472.80 --> 2473.46] verse 14,
[2473.56 --> 2473.78] that says,
[2473.86 --> 2474.28] I looked,
[2474.40 --> 2475.30] and there before me
[2475.30 --> 2476.26] was a white cloud,
[2476.56 --> 2477.72] and seated on the cloud
[2477.72 --> 2479.54] was one like the Son of Man
[2479.54 --> 2481.04] with a crown of gold
[2481.04 --> 2482.16] on his head.
[2482.16 --> 2483.76] Now,
[2483.88 --> 2484.60] let me be clear,
[2484.74 --> 2485.82] I'm not trying to say
[2485.82 --> 2486.82] that Dickens
[2486.82 --> 2488.42] is saying
[2488.42 --> 2489.14] that there is a
[2489.14 --> 2490.48] one-to-one correspondence
[2490.48 --> 2491.24] with the ghost
[2491.24 --> 2492.58] of Christmas present
[2492.58 --> 2494.12] or the spirit
[2494.12 --> 2495.20] and Jesus,
[2495.20 --> 2496.30] but there is something
[2496.30 --> 2497.64] of an allegory here.
[2498.04 --> 2498.18] Now,
[2498.22 --> 2498.90] literary critics
[2498.90 --> 2499.94] and scholars alike
[2499.94 --> 2500.52] have debated
[2500.52 --> 2501.32] back and forth,
[2501.38 --> 2502.04] and I'm not interested
[2502.04 --> 2503.28] in getting into that,
[2503.34 --> 2504.46] but there is a sense,
[2504.94 --> 2506.18] I think you can hear it,
[2506.54 --> 2507.30] a sense
[2507.30 --> 2509.58] in that Dickens
[2509.58 --> 2510.74] is trying to convey
[2510.74 --> 2512.90] a sense of the connection
[2512.90 --> 2513.88] of Christmas
[2513.88 --> 2516.18] to its namesake.
[2516.80 --> 2517.50] That is the connection
[2517.50 --> 2518.26] of the celebration
[2518.26 --> 2519.12] of Christmas
[2519.12 --> 2520.64] to Christ.
[2521.90 --> 2522.62] And when Dickens
[2522.62 --> 2523.16] is writing
[2523.16 --> 2524.78] in the mid-19th century,
[2525.46 --> 2526.86] there's a bit of a revival
[2526.86 --> 2527.60] that's happening
[2527.60 --> 2528.88] in England,
[2529.18 --> 2531.06] a period of discernment.
[2531.94 --> 2532.68] Some have called it
[2532.68 --> 2535.96] a mid-Victorian revival
[2535.96 --> 2536.82] of the Christmas
[2536.82 --> 2537.70] holiday.
[2539.56 --> 2540.50] And as he writes
[2540.50 --> 2542.52] and Dickens puts
[2542.52 --> 2543.86] on Scrooge lips,
[2544.36 --> 2545.76] he asks the spirit
[2545.76 --> 2546.90] of Christmas present
[2546.90 --> 2548.12] how many brothers
[2548.12 --> 2548.88] he has,
[2549.22 --> 2549.88] and the spirit
[2549.88 --> 2550.74] answers him
[2550.74 --> 2551.32] by saying
[2551.32 --> 2552.56] he has more
[2552.56 --> 2554.66] than 1,800 brothers.
[2555.26 --> 2555.56] Again,
[2555.68 --> 2556.34] A Christmas Carol
[2556.34 --> 2557.08] was published
[2557.08 --> 2558.78] in 1843.
[2559.78 --> 2560.30] So how many
[2560.30 --> 2561.46] Christmas presents
[2561.46 --> 2562.80] would there have been
[2562.80 --> 2564.66] from that first one
[2564.66 --> 2565.50] in the manger?
[2566.82 --> 2568.56] Some 1,800 or so.
[2569.70 --> 2570.16] Right?
[2570.20 --> 2570.78] I think there's
[2570.78 --> 2572.36] an analogy.
[2573.60 --> 2574.54] Now one of the things
[2574.54 --> 2575.98] that this Christmas
[2575.98 --> 2577.42] spirit does
[2577.42 --> 2578.52] is take Scrooge
[2578.52 --> 2579.78] around to people
[2579.78 --> 2580.48] who have
[2580.48 --> 2582.18] obviously less
[2582.18 --> 2583.30] than he does.
[2583.84 --> 2584.58] And so for instance,
[2584.70 --> 2586.06] they go to the home
[2586.06 --> 2586.66] and family
[2586.66 --> 2587.76] of Bob Cratchit
[2587.76 --> 2589.14] who works for Scrooge.
[2589.28 --> 2590.22] And that's where we meet
[2590.22 --> 2591.38] the famous Tiny Tim.
[2592.56 --> 2592.82] Right?
[2592.82 --> 2593.34] Then they move
