00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.699
The<00:03:03.139><c> first</c><00:03:03.360><c> question</c><00:03:03.659><c> we</c><00:03:03.939><c> had</c><00:03:04.139><c> is,</c><00:03:06.460><c> why</c><00:03:06.740><c> was</c><00:03:07.259><c> there</c><00:03:07.419><c> mention</c>

00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:17.860
the<00:03:17.060><c> king</c><00:03:17.219><c> of</c><00:03:17.379><c> Assyria,</c>

00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.919

00:03:21.979 --> 00:03:24.259
Certainly<00:03:22.439><c> he</c><00:03:22.599><c> could</c><00:03:22.819><c> have</c><00:03:22.919><c> made</c><00:03:23.099><c> a</c><00:03:23.300><c> big</c><00:03:23.500><c> long</c><00:03:23.840><c> list</c><00:03:24.139><c> that</c>

00:03:24.259 --> 00:03:25.979
would<00:03:24.419><c> have</c><00:03:24.500><c> been</c><00:03:24.639><c> very</c><00:03:24.979><c> impressive,</c>

00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.159
but<00:03:26.340><c> he</c><00:03:26.520><c> limited</c><00:03:26.740><c> it</c><00:03:26.979><c> to</c><00:03:27.120><c> these</c><00:03:27.759><c> certain</c><00:03:28.120><c> cities.</c>

00:03:32.460 --> 00:03:35.780
We've<00:03:32.620><c> been</c><00:03:32.919><c> together</c><00:03:33.300><c> long</c><00:03:33.620><c> enough</c><00:03:34.120><c> for</c><00:03:34.539><c> you</c><00:03:34.699><c> to</c><00:03:34.960><c> realize</c><00:03:35.419><c> that</c><00:03:35.639><c> I</c>

00:03:41.819 --> 00:03:46.060
That<00:03:41.960><c> God</c><00:03:42.300><c> has</c><00:03:42.900><c> put</c><00:03:43.139><c> these</c><00:03:43.520><c> certain</c><00:03:43.780><c> cities</c><00:03:44.199><c> in</c><00:03:44.439><c> the</c><00:03:44.620><c> record</c><00:03:44.800><c> for</c><00:03:45.039><c> us</c><00:03:45.259><c> for</c><00:03:45.460><c> a</c>

very<00:03:46.379><c> particular</c><00:03:46.840><c> reason.</c>

00:03:49.819 --> 00:03:54.159
And<00:03:49.979><c> we</c><00:03:50.080><c> can</c><00:03:50.319><c> see</c><00:03:50.599><c> from</c><00:03:50.800><c> the</c><00:03:51.000><c> context</c><00:03:51.419><c> of</c><00:03:51.639><c> verse</c><00:03:51.900><c> 12</c><00:03:52.939><c> where</c><00:03:53.960><c> he</c>

00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:10.139
It's<00:04:05.879><c> obvious</c><00:04:06.199><c> then</c><00:04:06.439><c> from</c><00:04:06.639><c> the</c><00:04:06.879><c> context</c><00:04:07.560><c> that</c><00:04:09.460><c> these</c><00:04:09.780><c> cities</c>

00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:20.220
Now,<00:04:16.959><c> historically</c><00:04:17.439><c> we</c><00:04:17.660><c> have</c><00:04:18.379><c> not</c><00:04:18.579><c> been</c><00:04:18.699><c> able</c><00:04:18.939><c> to</c><00:04:19.199><c> verify</c><00:04:19.600><c> every</c><00:04:20.079><c> one</c>

00:04:20.220 --> 00:04:21.040

00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:24.660
and<00:04:21.740><c> find</c><00:04:21.959><c> out</c><00:04:22.180><c> what</c><00:04:22.339><c> their</c><00:04:22.639><c> strong</c><00:04:22.879><c> points</c><00:04:23.180><c> were</c><00:04:23.879><c> as</c><00:04:24.360><c> far</c><00:04:24.540><c> as</c>

00:04:27.819 --> 00:04:31.060
But<00:04:28.060><c> some</c><00:04:28.279><c> we</c><00:04:28.480><c> have</c><00:04:28.740><c> been</c><00:04:28.980><c> able</c><00:04:29.199><c> to,</c><00:04:29.379><c> and</c><00:04:29.560><c> certainly</c><00:04:29.819><c> to</c><00:04:30.079><c> Hezekiah</c><00:04:30.680><c> these</c>

00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:35.759
And<00:04:33.579><c> they</c><00:04:33.699><c> would</c><00:04:33.899><c> have</c><00:04:34.060><c> been</c><00:04:34.240><c> perhaps</c><00:04:34.660><c> a</c><00:04:34.920><c> valid</c><00:04:35.139><c> argument</c><00:04:35.600><c> to</c>

00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:44.079
Nations<00:04:40.000><c> who</c><00:04:40.560><c> had</c><00:04:40.920><c> noted</c><00:04:41.360><c> gods</c><00:04:42.019><c> that</c><00:04:42.839><c> were</c><00:04:43.019><c> able</c><00:04:43.240><c> to</c><00:04:43.500><c> save</c><00:04:43.699><c> them.</c>

00:04:44.379 --> 00:04:48.000
Haran,<00:04:44.879><c> we</c><00:04:45.000><c> know,</c><00:04:45.379><c> was</c><00:04:45.579><c> the</c><00:04:45.779><c> home</c><00:04:45.920><c> of</c><00:04:46.120><c> the</c><00:04:46.300><c> ancient</c><00:04:46.660><c> temple</c><00:04:47.360><c> of</c>

00:04:52.060 --> 00:04:55.040
And<00:04:52.339><c> Gozan</c><00:04:52.699><c> was</c><00:04:52.980><c> noted</c><00:04:53.259><c> to</c><00:04:53.480><c> be</c><00:04:54.040><c> a</c><00:04:54.300><c> city</c><00:04:54.480><c> where</c><00:04:54.680><c> some</c><00:04:54.860><c> of</c><00:04:54.959><c> the</c>

00:04:59.920 --> 00:05:04.339
So<00:05:01.040><c> these</c><00:05:01.300><c> cities</c><00:05:01.540><c> were</c><00:05:01.740><c> then</c><00:05:02.100><c> brought</c><00:05:02.519><c> up</c><00:05:02.720><c> to</c><00:05:02.980><c> give</c><00:05:03.480><c> Hezekiah</c>

Well<00:08:28.279><c> perhaps,</c><00:08:28.680><c> but</c><00:08:28.819><c> I</c><00:08:28.939><c> don't</c><00:08:29.139><c> think</c><00:08:29.360><c> so.</c>

00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:36.399
I<00:08:31.540><c> think</c><00:08:31.759><c> Hezekiah</c><00:08:32.480><c> would</c><00:08:32.980><c> have</c><00:08:33.120><c> seen</c><00:08:33.440><c> through</c><00:08:33.700><c> this</c><00:08:33.980><c> argument</c><00:08:34.460><c> right</c><00:08:34.840><c> away,</c>

00:08:47.059 --> 00:08:50.019
Israel<00:08:47.580><c> had</c><00:08:47.879><c> indeed</c><00:08:48.240><c> turned</c><00:08:48.559><c> to</c><00:08:48.860><c> idolatry.</c>

00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.179
If<00:08:50.659><c> Israel</c><00:08:51.100><c> had</c><00:08:51.399><c> indeed</c><00:08:51.759><c> worshiped</c><00:08:52.320><c> the</c><00:08:52.460><c> same</c><00:08:52.720><c> god</c><00:08:52.980><c> that</c>

then<00:08:55.759><c> this</c><00:08:55.860><c> would</c><00:08:56.019><c> have</c><00:08:56.159><c> been</c><00:08:56.320><c> a</c><00:08:56.379><c> logical</c><00:08:56.840><c> argument,</c><00:08:57.480><c> but</c>

they<00:08:57.899><c> didn't.</c>

00:08:59.220 --> 00:09:02.220
And<00:08:59.399><c> Hezekiah,</c><00:09:00.080><c> of</c><00:09:00.320><c> all</c><00:09:00.539><c> people,</c><00:09:00.899><c> knew</c><00:09:01.019><c> the</c><00:09:01.259><c> difference.</c>

00:09:06.940 --> 00:09:10.059
And<00:09:07.100><c> have</c><00:09:07.500><c> cast</c><00:09:07.820><c> their</c><00:09:08.080><c> gods</c><00:09:08.340><c> into</c><00:09:08.559><c> the</c><00:09:08.779><c> fire,</c><00:09:09.019><c> for</c><00:09:09.340><c> they</c><00:09:09.720><c> were</c>

00:09:16.100 --> 00:09:18.919
Therefore<00:09:16.580><c> they</c><00:09:16.879><c> have</c><00:09:17.139><c> destroyed</c><00:09:17.600><c> them.</c>

00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:25.779
This<00:09:20.580><c> is</c><00:09:20.799><c> why</c><00:09:21.519><c> Sennacherib</c><00:09:22.139><c> was</c><00:09:22.360><c> able</c><00:09:22.600><c> to</c><00:09:23.000><c> sweep</c><00:09:23.220><c> through</c><00:09:23.460><c> their</c><00:09:23.700><c> cities</c><00:09:24.240><c> so</c><00:09:25.379><c> easily,</c>

that<00:11:29.620><c> Rab</c><00:11:29.860><c> Sheikah</c><00:11:30.259><c> claimed</c><00:11:30.960><c> that</c><00:11:31.659><c> Yahweh</c><00:11:32.080><c> was</c><00:11:32.340><c> behind</c><00:11:32.679><c> his</c><00:11:32.940><c> victories.</c>

00:11:43.700 --> 00:11:47.179
Well,<00:11:43.940><c> I</c><00:11:43.980><c> don't</c><00:11:44.259><c> think</c><00:11:44.460><c> that</c><00:11:44.700><c> Rab</c><00:11:44.919><c> Sheikah</c><00:11:45.320><c> really</c><00:11:45.840><c> knew</c><00:11:46.279><c> how</c>

00:11:54.460 --> 00:11:59.080
Perhaps,<00:11:56.139><c> if</c><00:11:56.279><c> he</c><00:11:56.379><c> was</c><00:11:56.639><c> a</c><00:11:56.740><c> renegade</c><00:11:57.179><c> Jew</c><00:11:57.419><c> of</c><00:11:57.639><c> Judah,</c><00:11:57.879><c> like</c><00:11:58.120><c> we</c>

00:26:11.019 --> 00:26:13.819

00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:55.400

00:36:05.820 --> 00:36:10.780
The<00:36:06.300><c> glory</c><00:36:06.780><c> clearly</c><00:36:07.719><c> goes</c><00:36:08.440><c> to</c><00:36:08.659><c> God</c><00:36:09.079><c> and</c><00:36:09.980><c> to</c><00:36:10.179><c> God</c><00:36:10.420><c> only.</c>

00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:20.400
And<00:36:18.079><c> this</c><00:36:18.300><c> we</c><00:36:18.559><c> feel</c><00:36:18.760><c> is</c><00:36:18.940><c> part</c><00:36:19.159><c> of</c><00:36:19.360><c> the</c><00:36:19.460><c> point</c><00:36:19.639><c> being</c><00:36:19.920><c> made</c><00:36:20.179><c> here</c>

00:36:21.940 --> 00:36:25.599
Their<00:36:22.199><c> gods</c><00:36:22.559><c> are</c><00:36:22.980><c> no</c><00:36:23.280><c> gods,</c><00:36:23.679><c> but</c><00:36:23.840><c> our</c><00:36:24.179><c> God</c><00:36:24.420><c> is</c><00:36:24.619><c> a</c><00:36:24.760><c> God</c><00:36:25.039><c> indeed</c>

00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:27.340

00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:30.619
He's<00:36:28.139><c> the</c><00:36:28.340><c> God</c><00:36:28.500><c> that</c><00:36:28.760><c> gives</c><00:36:29.019><c> us</c><00:36:29.340><c> everything</c><00:36:29.760><c> and</c><00:36:30.159><c> can</c><00:36:30.400><c> take</c>

00:36:32.019 --> 00:36:34.860
Therefore,<00:36:32.719><c> Hezekiah,</c><00:36:33.260><c> you</c><00:36:33.420><c> need</c><00:36:33.739><c> not</c><00:36:34.099><c> fear</c><00:36:34.380><c> this</c><00:36:34.659><c> fellow</c>

00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:24.099
Especially<00:39:22.079><c> when</c><00:39:22.300><c> it</c><00:39:22.360><c> comes</c><00:39:22.760><c> to</c><00:39:23.039><c> realizing</c><00:39:23.460><c> what</c><00:39:23.639><c> a</c><00:39:23.860><c> blessing</c>

00:39:24.860 --> 00:39:27.480

00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:32.400
Such<00:39:30.119><c> we</c><00:39:30.400><c> feel</c><00:39:30.579><c> is</c><00:39:30.760><c> this</c><00:39:30.980><c> instruction</c><00:39:31.400><c> coming</c><00:39:31.739><c> to</c><00:39:31.940><c> Hezekiah</c>

00:39:36.340 --> 00:39:41.139
He's<00:39:36.579><c> learning</c><00:39:36.920><c> clearly</c><00:39:37.320><c> that</c><00:39:37.460><c> it</c><00:39:37.579><c> was</c><00:39:37.780><c> all</c><00:39:38.760><c> because</c><00:39:39.579><c> of</c><00:39:40.119><c> God.</c>

00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:45.619
Now<00:39:42.760><c> looking</c><00:39:42.900><c> at</c><00:39:43.059><c> verses</c><00:39:43.360><c> 26</c><00:39:43.920><c> and</c><00:39:44.119><c> 27,</c>

00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:47.820
He's<00:39:47.059><c> saying</c><00:39:47.380><c> this,</c>

00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:00.900
This<00:39:57.840><c> is</c><00:39:58.039><c> God</c><00:39:58.340><c> speaking,</c><00:39:58.719><c> He</c><00:39:58.880><c> has</c><00:39:59.159><c> the</c><00:39:59.300><c> right</c><00:39:59.460><c> to</c><00:39:59.679><c> say</c><00:39:59.880><c> I,</c>

Therefore,<00:40:06.900><c> that's</c><00:40:07.420><c> a</c><00:40:07.539><c> key</c><00:40:07.739><c> word,</c>

00:40:20.139 --> 00:40:23.239
He's<00:40:20.380><c> telling</c><00:40:20.699><c> Sennacherib</c><00:40:21.219><c> that</c><00:40:21.599><c> you</c><00:40:21.880><c> might</c><00:40:22.179><c> think</c><00:40:22.420><c> that</c><00:40:22.579><c> you</c><00:40:22.699><c> did</c><00:40:22.840><c> this</c><00:40:23.039><c> on</c>

They<00:40:26.539><c> had</c><00:40:26.860><c> small</c><00:40:27.440><c> power</c><00:40:28.260><c> because</c><00:40:28.840><c> of</c><00:40:29.039><c> what</c><00:40:29.260><c> I</c><00:40:29.519><c> did</c><00:40:29.679><c> to</c><00:40:29.900><c> them.</c>

00:40:30.300 --> 00:40:33.719
You<00:40:30.599><c> went</c><00:40:30.860><c> through</c><00:40:31.039><c> and</c><00:40:31.460><c> took</c><00:40:31.760><c> over</c><00:40:32.099><c> people</c><00:40:32.619><c> who</c><00:40:33.019><c> were</c><00:40:33.280><c> nothing</c>

00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:50.119
This<00:43:49.579><c> is</c><00:43:49.760><c> wisdom.</c>

00:43:50.119 --> 00:43:53.780
If<00:43:51.019><c> God</c><00:43:51.480><c> feels</c><00:43:51.920><c> that</c><00:43:52.079><c> the</c><00:43:52.159><c> best</c><00:43:52.400><c> way</c><00:43:52.559><c> to</c><00:43:52.719><c> teach</c><00:43:52.960><c> His</c><00:43:53.260><c> people</c>

00:44:04.380 --> 00:44:06.980
as<00:44:04.500><c> He</c><00:44:04.679><c> did</c><00:44:04.800><c> in</c><00:44:05.000><c> the</c><00:44:05.039><c> case</c><00:44:05.239><c> of</c><00:44:05.380><c> the</c><00:44:05.440><c> northern</c><00:44:05.739><c> ten</c><00:44:06.000><c> tribes,</c>

00:44:07.019 --> 00:44:09.960
then<00:44:07.179><c> could</c><00:44:07.320><c> we</c><00:44:07.559><c> possibly</c><00:44:08.139><c> say</c><00:44:08.440><c> that</c><00:44:08.559><c> this</c><00:44:08.719><c> isn't</c><00:44:08.960><c> correct?</c>

00:44:11.400 --> 00:44:14.019
In<00:44:11.599><c> our</c><00:44:11.840><c> eyes,</c><00:44:12.000><c> this</c><00:44:12.199><c> may</c><00:44:12.460><c> not</c><00:44:12.659><c> seem</c><00:44:12.880><c> right.</c>

00:44:14.579 --> 00:44:17.420
But<00:44:14.840><c> we</c><00:44:15.059><c> cannot</c><00:44:15.480><c> think</c><00:44:16.099><c> as</c><00:44:16.760><c> men</c><00:44:17.079><c> think.</c>

00:44:17.420 --> 00:44:21.519
We<00:44:17.579><c> must</c><00:44:17.880><c> get</c><00:44:18.199><c> our</c><00:44:18.539><c> minds</c><00:44:18.940><c> into</c><00:44:19.739><c> the</c><00:44:20.000><c> Book,</c><00:44:20.340><c> into</c><00:44:20.599><c> the</c><00:44:20.780><c> Word</c><00:44:20.940><c> of</c><00:44:21.119><c> God,</c>

00:44:21.780 --> 00:44:23.920
and<00:44:21.940><c> begin</c><00:44:22.219><c> to</c><00:44:22.539><c> reason</c><00:44:22.820><c> as</c><00:44:23.039><c> God</c><00:44:23.340><c> would</c><00:44:23.599><c> reason</c>

00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:25.360

00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:28.260
It's<00:44:25.599><c> not</c><00:44:25.860><c> easy.</c><00:44:26.599><c> That's</c><00:44:27.179><c> for</c><00:44:27.320><c> sure.</c>

00:44:29.019 --> 00:44:30.500
But<00:44:29.159><c> we</c><00:44:29.280><c> must</c><00:44:29.480><c> try.</c>

00:44:31.099 --> 00:44:34.079
We've<00:44:31.320><c> got</c><00:44:31.380><c> to</c><00:44:31.519><c> put</c><00:44:31.639><c> ourselves</c><00:44:32.099><c> in</c><00:44:32.380><c> Hezekiah's</c><00:44:33.139><c> shoes.</c>

00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:48.280
And<00:44:44.579><c> you</c><00:44:44.820><c> see</c><00:44:45.099><c> outside</c><00:44:45.699><c> the</c><00:44:45.940><c> Russian</c><00:44:46.320><c> army</c><00:44:47.079><c> out</c><00:44:47.880><c> there.</c>

00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:10.019
Now<00:45:07.360><c> how</c><00:45:07.679><c> strong</c><00:45:08.219><c> is</c><00:45:08.480><c> your</c><00:45:08.739><c> fear</c><00:45:08.920><c> of</c><00:45:09.199><c> God?</c>

00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:45.519
He<00:45:43.840><c> turned</c><00:45:44.099><c> to</c><00:45:44.199><c> God</c><00:45:44.400><c> in</c><00:45:44.639><c> prayer.</c>

00:45:45.699 --> 00:45:46.360
And<00:45:45.820><c> you</c><00:45:45.880><c> know</c><00:45:45.920><c> what</c><00:45:46.079><c> happened?</c>

00:45:46.699 --> 00:45:49.699
The<00:45:46.920><c> angel</c><00:45:47.199><c> of</c><00:45:47.340><c> the</c><00:45:47.360><c> Lord</c><00:45:47.500><c> came</c><00:45:47.739><c> and</c><00:45:47.860><c> took</c><00:45:48.059><c> the</c><00:45:48.239><c> 185</c><00:45:48.860><c>,000</c><00:45:49.119><c> soldiers</c><00:45:49.460><c> away</c>

00:45:53.880 --> 00:45:57.179
There's<00:45:54.320><c> the</c><00:45:54.619><c> example</c><00:45:55.000><c> in</c><00:45:55.260><c> Scripture</c><00:45:55.579><c> that</c><00:45:55.760><c> we</c><00:45:55.940><c> need</c><00:45:56.079><c> to</c><00:45:56.360><c> follow.</c>

00:45:57.440 --> 00:46:00.659
There's<00:45:57.880><c> a</c><00:45:57.960><c> test</c><00:45:58.139><c> of</c><00:45:58.340><c> a</c><00:45:58.480><c> man</c><00:45:58.619><c> who</c><00:45:58.800><c> had</c><00:45:59.019><c> strong</c><00:45:59.539><c> faith.</c>

00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:03.440
It's<00:46:01.619><c> the</c><00:46:01.760><c> kind</c><00:46:01.980><c> of</c><00:46:02.119><c> faith</c><00:46:02.380><c> that</c><00:46:02.619><c> those</c><00:46:02.820><c> who</c><00:46:02.980><c> will</c><00:46:03.099><c> be</c><00:46:03.179><c> in</c><00:46:03.300><c> the</c>

00:46:11.119 --> 00:46:14.340
Our<00:46:11.280><c> God</c><00:46:11.800><c> can</c><00:46:12.360><c> and</c><00:46:12.679><c> will</c><00:46:12.920><c> give</c><00:46:13.159><c> us</c><00:46:13.480><c> eternal</c><00:46:13.800><c> life</c>

00:46:14.340 --> 00:46:17.199

00:46:19.880 --> 00:46:23.079
And<00:46:20.119><c> surely</c><00:46:20.460><c> it's</c><00:46:21.099><c> all</c><00:46:21.320><c> worth</c><00:46:21.539><c> it.</c>

00:46:24.780 --> 00:46:26.099
