Looking<00:25:38.160><c> at</c><00:25:38.380><c> the</c><00:25:38.440><c> meaning</c><00:25:38.680><c> of</c><00:25:38.859><c> the</c><00:25:39.019><c> two</c><00:25:39.220><c> prophets'</c><00:25:40.079><c> names,</c>

00:25:41.940 --> 00:25:46.339
that<00:25:42.119><c> God</c><00:25:42.279><c> is</c><00:25:42.500><c> a</c><00:25:42.799><c> just</c><00:25:43.140><c> God</c><00:25:43.799><c> and</c><00:25:45.019><c> a</c><00:25:45.500><c> Savior.</c>

00:25:47.220 --> 00:25:49.500
You<00:25:47.460><c> see</c><00:25:47.640><c> it</c><00:25:47.799><c> there</c><00:25:47.920><c> on</c><00:25:48.079><c> the</c><00:25:48.339><c> chart.</c>

00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:54.700
Elijah<00:25:51.000><c> is</c><00:25:51.940><c> executing</c><00:25:52.539><c> the</c><00:25:53.000><c> justice</c><00:25:53.440><c> of</c><00:25:53.779><c> God,</c>

00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:59.559
the<00:25:55.259><c> judgments</c><00:25:55.720><c> of</c><00:25:55.980><c> God</c><00:25:56.380><c> against</c><00:25:56.960><c> rebellion</c><00:25:57.759><c> and</c><00:25:58.180><c> apostasy.</c>

00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.900
But<00:26:00.619><c> the</c><00:26:00.880><c> emphasis</c><00:26:01.480><c> in</c><00:26:02.079><c> Elisha's</c><00:26:02.819><c> ministry</c>

00:26:04.140 --> 00:26:07.480
is<00:26:04.740><c> that</c><00:26:05.000><c> second</c><00:26:05.339><c> part</c><00:26:05.640><c> of</c><00:26:05.799><c> the</c><00:26:06.000><c> phrase</c><00:26:06.220><c> in</c><00:26:06.480><c> Isaiah</c>

00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.980
that<00:26:08.400><c> Yahweh</c><00:26:09.000><c> is</c><00:26:10.259><c> a</c><00:26:10.460><c> God</c><00:26:10.619><c> who</c><00:26:10.920><c> saves,</c>

00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:20.880
We<00:26:18.680><c> cannot</c><00:26:19.019><c> have,</c><00:26:19.500><c> and</c><00:26:19.680><c> the</c><00:26:19.839><c> Father</c><00:26:20.119><c> will</c><00:26:20.380><c> not</c><00:26:20.660><c> have,</c>

00:26:21.019 --> 00:26:22.920
one<00:26:21.359><c> without</c><00:26:21.720><c> the</c><00:26:21.980><c> other.</c>

00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:26.039
And<00:26:23.140><c> the</c><00:26:23.319><c> atoning</c><00:26:23.619><c> work</c><00:26:23.920><c> of</c><00:26:24.079><c> the</c><00:26:24.200><c> Lord</c><00:26:24.380><c> Jesus</c><00:26:24.839><c> Christ</c>

00:26:26.700 --> 00:26:28.759
is<00:26:27.299><c> a</c><00:26:27.460><c> victory</c><00:26:27.799><c> of</c><00:26:28.039><c> divine</c><00:26:28.339><c> wisdom</c>

00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:31.599
in<00:26:29.099><c> combining</c><00:26:29.480><c> and</c><00:26:30.019><c> balancing</c><00:26:30.400><c> both</c><00:26:30.759><c> of</c><00:26:30.920><c> those</c><00:26:31.140><c> elements</c>

00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:37.440
of<00:26:32.460><c> God</c><00:26:33.400><c> being</c><00:26:34.119><c> a</c><00:26:34.440><c> just</c><00:26:34.720><c> God</c><00:26:35.079><c> who</c><00:26:35.339><c> cannot</c><00:26:35.619><c> turn</c><00:26:35.920><c> away</c><00:26:36.200><c> from</c><00:26:36.500><c> sin,</c>

00:26:37.660 --> 00:26:41.200
but<00:26:37.680><c> also</c><00:26:38.019><c> a</c><00:26:38.240><c> God</c><00:26:38.440><c> who</c><00:26:38.660><c> wishes</c><00:26:38.940><c> to</c><00:26:39.240><c> forgive</c><00:26:39.720><c> and</c><00:26:40.420><c> be</c><00:26:40.680><c> merciful</c>

00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.599
Therefore,<00:26:45.660><c> that</c><00:26:45.880><c> black</c><00:26:46.299><c> line</c><00:26:46.759><c> dividing</c><00:26:47.400><c> the</c><00:26:47.980><c> ministries</c><00:26:48.400><c> of</c>

00:26:49.619 --> 00:26:52.539
is<00:26:50.759><c> not</c><00:26:51.059><c> meant</c><00:26:51.220><c> to</c><00:26:51.420><c> be</c><00:26:51.599><c> a</c><00:26:51.700><c> barrier.</c>

00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:55.359
On<00:26:53.140><c> both</c><00:26:53.440><c> sides</c><00:26:54.059><c> of</c><00:26:54.480><c> that</c><00:26:54.720><c> black</c><00:26:55.059><c> line,</c>

in<00:26:55.539><c> the</c><00:26:55.700><c> ministries</c><00:26:56.099><c> of</c><00:26:56.299><c> those</c><00:26:56.519><c> two</c><00:26:56.799><c> prophets,</c>

00:26:57.400 --> 00:26:59.619
you<00:26:57.559><c> have</c><00:26:57.799><c> important</c><00:26:58.380><c> themes</c><00:26:58.799><c> or</c><00:26:59.180><c> messages.</c>

00:26:59.619 --> 00:27:02.359
You<00:27:00.619><c> have</c><00:27:00.880><c> an</c><00:27:01.059><c> emphasis</c><00:27:01.400><c> on</c><00:27:01.599><c> the</c><00:27:01.700><c> left</c><00:27:01.960><c> side</c>

00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:05.000
and<00:27:02.680><c> another</c><00:27:02.960><c> emphasis</c><00:27:03.400><c> on</c><00:27:03.559><c> the</c><00:27:03.700><c> right</c><00:27:03.960><c> side.</c>

00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:07.920
Look<00:27:06.220><c> now</c><00:27:06.420><c> again</c><00:27:06.660><c> at</c><00:27:06.819><c> the</c><00:27:07.019><c> chart.</c>

00:27:08.619 --> 00:27:11.940
By<00:27:08.740><c> way</c><00:27:08.940><c> of</c><00:27:09.200><c> overview,</c><00:27:09.819><c> back</c><00:27:10.039><c> to</c><00:27:10.279><c> Elijah's</c><00:27:10.900><c> side.</c>

00:27:12.700 --> 00:27:15.200
After<00:27:13.000><c> the</c><00:27:13.279><c> drought,</c><00:27:13.539><c> number</c><00:27:13.940><c> two,</c>

00:27:15.220 --> 00:27:20.039
there<00:27:15.480><c> is</c><00:27:15.960><c> a</c><00:27:16.339><c> miracle</c><00:27:16.799><c> that</c><00:27:17.240><c> expresses</c><00:27:17.740><c> mercy,</c><00:27:19.039><c> forgiveness,</c>

00:27:20.279 --> 00:27:21.720
and<00:27:20.420><c> shows</c><00:27:20.720><c> God's</c><00:27:21.319><c> grace.</c>

00:27:22.099 --> 00:27:27.180
The<00:27:22.299><c> Gentile</c><00:27:22.980><c> widow</c><00:27:23.240><c> is</c><00:27:23.599><c> fed</c><00:27:23.759><c> in</c><00:27:23.960><c> 1</c><00:27:24.160><c> Kings</c><00:27:24.460><c> 17,</c><00:27:25.720><c> verse</c><00:27:25.940><c> 14.</c>

00:27:27.460 --> 00:27:28.759
So<00:27:27.720><c> it's</c><00:27:27.960><c> not</c><00:27:28.160><c> imbalanced.</c>

00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:32.660
It's<00:27:29.680><c> not</c><00:27:29.839><c> that</c><00:27:30.019><c> Elijah</c><00:27:30.579><c> only</c><00:27:31.400><c> demonstrates</c>

00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:35.559
the<00:27:33.259><c> justice</c><00:27:33.720><c> of</c><00:27:34.000><c> God</c><00:27:34.240><c> and</c><00:27:34.380><c> the</c><00:27:34.579><c> judgment</c><00:27:34.880><c> of</c><00:27:35.099><c> God.</c>

00:27:35.940 --> 00:27:37.740
Here<00:27:36.180><c> is</c><00:27:36.440><c> compassion.</c>

00:27:38.779 --> 00:27:41.500
Here<00:27:38.960><c> is</c><00:27:39.299><c> God's</c><00:27:39.880><c> favor</c><00:27:40.119><c> unmerited.</c>

00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:47.599
Here<00:27:42.299><c> is</c><00:27:42.559><c> God</c><00:27:42.720><c> dealing</c><00:27:43.079><c> with</c><00:27:43.319><c> a</c><00:27:43.539><c> widow</c><00:27:43.920><c> and</c><00:27:45.299><c> a</c><00:27:45.599><c> Gentile</c><00:27:46.220><c> at</c><00:27:46.559><c> that.</c>

00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:53.880
Elijah's<00:27:49.259><c> third</c><00:27:49.500><c> miracle,</c><00:27:51.019><c> a</c><00:27:51.160><c> Gentile's</c><00:27:52.339><c> son</c><00:27:52.680><c> is</c><00:27:53.200><c> raised.</c>

00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:57.299
Life,<00:27:55.539><c> something</c><00:27:55.920><c> positive.</c>

00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:00.380
Here<00:27:58.319><c> again,</c><00:27:58.839><c> it's</c><00:27:58.960><c> a</c><00:27:59.079><c> Gentile.</c>

00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:04.420
Here<00:28:00.980><c> again</c><00:28:01.319><c> is</c><00:28:01.539><c> God's</c><00:28:01.960><c> mercy</c><00:28:02.460><c> and</c><00:28:03.059><c> kindness</c>

00:28:04.900 --> 00:28:07.299
unmerited<00:28:05.500><c> towards</c><00:28:05.880><c> those</c><00:28:06.160><c> who</c><00:28:06.339><c> don't</c><00:28:06.599><c> deserve</c><00:28:06.960><c> it.</c>

00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:09.599
But<00:28:07.660><c> after</c><00:28:07.980><c> you</c><00:28:08.259><c> pass</c><00:28:08.559><c> from</c><00:28:08.759><c> number</c><00:28:09.059><c> three,</c>

00:28:10.059 --> 00:28:13.359
the<00:28:10.200><c> remaining</c><00:28:10.539><c> miracles</c><00:28:11.059><c> clearly</c><00:28:11.539><c> are</c><00:28:11.880><c> judgmental.</c>

00:28:14.099 --> 00:28:18.380
Now<00:28:14.339><c> slip</c><00:28:14.559><c> over</c><00:28:14.819><c> again</c><00:28:15.079><c> to</c><00:28:15.279><c> the</c><00:28:15.400><c> right</c><00:28:15.700><c> side</c><00:28:16.160><c> under</c><00:28:16.480><c> Elisha.</c>

00:28:22.180 --> 00:28:24.859
Number<00:28:22.359><c> one,</c><00:28:22.819><c> Jordan</c><00:28:23.019><c> is</c><00:28:23.279><c> divided,</c><00:28:23.680><c> as</c><00:28:23.839><c> we</c><00:28:24.019><c> said</c><00:28:24.180><c> before.</c>

00:28:24.859 --> 00:28:28.400
Number<00:28:25.420><c> two,</c><00:28:25.880><c> we</c><00:28:25.880><c> have</c><00:28:26.180><c> Jericho's</c><00:28:26.839><c> well</c><00:28:27.079><c> being</c><00:28:27.380><c> cured.</c>

00:28:28.819 --> 00:28:32.440
Now<00:28:29.019><c> number</c><00:28:29.279><c> three,</c><00:28:31.019><c> the</c><00:28:31.240><c> bears</c><00:28:31.680><c> that</c><00:28:31.980><c> come</c><00:28:32.160><c> out</c>

00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:37.279
near<00:28:32.579><c> the</c><00:28:32.779><c> area</c><00:28:33.140><c> of</c><00:28:33.440><c> Bethel</c><00:28:33.960><c> that</c><00:28:34.460><c> kill</c><00:28:34.759><c> the</c><00:28:35.019><c> 42</c><00:28:35.440><c> lads.</c>

00:28:38.299 --> 00:28:41.119
Judgmental,<00:28:39.339><c> punishment</c><00:28:39.799><c> on</c><00:28:39.980><c> the</c><00:28:40.099><c> wicked,</c>

00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:46.319
God's<00:28:42.440><c> justice</c><00:28:42.920><c> exercised</c><00:28:43.839><c> against</c><00:28:44.180><c> rebellion</c><00:28:44.720><c> and</c><00:28:44.980><c> apostasy.</c>

00:28:46.980 --> 00:28:50.740
So<00:28:47.180><c> it's</c><00:28:47.440><c> not</c><00:28:47.819><c> that</c><00:28:48.200><c> it</c><00:28:48.400><c> isn't</c><00:28:48.599><c> there</c><00:28:49.240><c> in</c><00:28:49.740><c> Elisha's</c><00:28:50.359><c> ministry.</c>

And<00:32:19.220><c> here,</c><00:32:19.940><c> in</c><00:32:20.079><c> the</c><00:32:20.319><c> ministries</c><00:32:21.019><c> of</c><00:32:21.380><c> Elijah</c><00:32:21.880><c> and</c><00:32:22.259><c> Elisha,</c>

00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:27.680

00:32:27.700 --> 00:32:30.380
It's<00:32:27.859><c> very</c><00:32:28.140><c> much</c><00:32:28.339><c> New</c><00:32:28.539><c> Testament</c><00:32:29.000><c> in</c><00:32:29.279><c> that</c><00:32:29.480><c> sense.</c>

00:32:31.059 --> 00:32:33.299
It's<00:32:31.400><c> not</c><00:32:32.099><c> Mosaic.</c>

00:32:34.019 --> 00:32:36.599
You<00:32:34.160><c> might</c><00:32:34.380><c> wonder,</c><00:32:35.180><c> why</c><00:32:35.220><c> would</c><00:32:35.359><c> we</c><00:32:35.500><c> say</c><00:32:35.720><c> that?</c>

00:32:37.460 --> 00:32:40.519
Because<00:32:37.839><c> life</c><00:32:38.380><c> did</c><00:32:38.660><c> not</c><00:32:38.900><c> come</c><00:32:39.180><c> from</c><00:32:39.400><c> the</c><00:32:39.619><c> law.</c>

00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:43.019
Time<00:32:41.160><c> and</c><00:32:41.380><c> again,</c><00:32:42.099><c> in</c><00:32:42.240><c> the</c><00:32:42.420><c> epistles,</c>

00:32:43.299 --> 00:32:46.920
Paul<00:32:43.660><c> stresses</c><00:32:44.380><c> that</c><00:32:45.079><c> life</c><00:32:45.799><c> did</c><00:32:46.259><c> not,</c>

00:32:49.460 --> 00:32:52.259
So<00:32:50.680><c> when</c><00:32:50.920><c> we</c><00:32:51.240><c> say</c><00:32:51.440><c> that</c><00:32:51.640><c> the</c><00:32:51.859><c> ministries</c>

00:32:55.140 --> 00:32:58.440
as<00:32:55.519><c> a</c><00:32:55.839><c> theme</c><00:32:56.079><c> of</c><00:32:56.380><c> life</c><00:32:56.839><c> and</c><00:32:57.299><c> death,</c>

00:32:58.819 --> 00:33:01.019
that<00:32:58.880><c> is</c><00:32:59.279><c> essentially</c><00:33:00.119><c> New</c><00:33:00.480><c> Testament</c>

the<00:33:04.640><c> two</c><00:33:05.019><c> ministries</c><00:33:05.539><c> are</c><00:33:05.859><c> a</c><00:33:06.279><c> statement</c>

00:33:06.740 --> 00:33:09.180
that<00:33:07.319><c> relates</c><00:33:07.819><c> to</c><00:33:08.099><c> the</c><00:33:08.299><c> New</c><00:33:08.559><c> Covenant,</c>

00:33:11.299 --> 00:33:13.799
because<00:33:11.599><c> the</c><00:33:11.940><c> Old</c><00:33:12.200><c> only</c><00:33:12.559><c> gave</c><00:33:12.859><c> one</c><00:33:13.160><c> half,</c>

00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:16.859

00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:18.779
By<00:33:17.380><c> the</c><00:33:17.720><c> law,</c><00:33:18.119><c> said</c><00:33:18.259><c> Paul,</c>

00:33:21.539 --> 00:33:24.799
And<00:33:21.680><c> the</c><00:33:21.920><c> wages</c><00:33:22.220><c> of</c><00:33:22.519><c> sin,</c><00:33:22.779><c> said</c><00:33:22.980><c> Paul,</c><00:33:23.599><c> is</c><00:33:23.759><c> death.</c>

The<00:33:25.299><c> law</c><00:33:25.920><c> could</c><00:33:26.460><c> not</c><00:33:26.759><c> give</c><00:33:26.960><c> life.</c>

00:33:28.779 --> 00:33:32.440
When<00:33:29.079><c> we</c><00:33:29.380><c> find</c><00:33:29.680><c> two</c><00:33:30.000><c> prophets</c><00:33:30.619><c> having</c><00:33:31.220><c> a</c><00:33:31.539><c> common</c><00:33:31.960><c> theme</c>

00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:36.099

00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:38.500
we're<00:33:36.740><c> in</c><00:33:36.920><c> the</c><00:33:37.099><c> realm</c><00:33:37.460><c> of</c><00:33:38.119><c> a</c><00:33:38.319><c> theme</c>

00:33:44.900 --> 00:33:49.700

00:33:56.839 --> 00:33:59.880
Let's<00:33:56.940><c> go</c><00:33:57.180><c> back</c><00:33:57.579><c> to</c><00:33:57.819><c> a</c><00:33:57.900><c> very</c><00:33:58.299><c> important</c><00:33:58.799><c> verse</c>

00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:08.820
Perhaps<00:34:07.160><c> we</c><00:34:07.279><c> could</c><00:34:07.440><c> have</c><00:34:07.579><c> the</c><00:34:07.740><c> lights.</c>

00:35:30.460 --> 00:35:33.420
This<00:35:31.019><c> is</c><00:35:31.219><c> the</c><00:35:31.320><c> way</c><00:35:31.519><c> Rotherham</c><00:35:32.139><c> renders</c><00:35:32.579><c> it.</c>

00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:37.980
The<00:35:34.760><c> voice</c><00:35:35.320><c> of</c><00:35:36.059><c> a</c><00:35:36.320><c> gentle</c><00:35:37.019><c> whisper.</c>

00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:40.760
You<00:35:39.159><c> might</c><00:35:39.340><c> look</c><00:35:39.539><c> at</c><00:35:39.619><c> that</c><00:35:39.900><c> at</c><00:35:40.059><c> first</c><00:35:40.260><c> and</c><00:35:40.500><c> think,</c>

00:35:51.340 --> 00:35:53.739

00:36:00.260 --> 00:36:04.000
The<00:36:00.400><c> word</c><00:36:00.760><c> still,</c><00:36:01.699><c> in</c><00:36:02.139><c> fact,</c><00:36:02.960><c> is</c><00:36:03.420><c> a</c><00:36:03.699><c> word</c>

00:36:07.460 --> 00:36:09.019

00:36:11.539 --> 00:36:15.179
An<00:36:11.739><c> example,</c><00:36:13.179><c> Psalm</c><00:36:13.380><c> 107</c><00:36:14.139><c> verse</c><00:36:14.440><c> 29,</c>

00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:28.059

00:36:35.019 --> 00:36:38.800
But<00:36:35.440><c> quite</c><00:36:35.860><c> often,</c><00:36:36.719><c> it</c><00:36:36.780><c> has</c><00:36:37.099><c> the</c><00:36:37.280><c> sense</c><00:36:37.519><c> of</c><00:36:37.719><c> a</c><00:36:37.900><c> whisper.</c>

00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:43.980
Next<00:36:40.059><c> word,</c><00:36:42.039><c> the</c><00:36:42.179><c> word</c><00:36:42.539><c> small.</c>

00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:53.659

00:36:57.719 --> 00:37:01.000
of<00:36:58.079><c> the</c><00:36:58.380><c> sense</c><00:36:58.800><c> of</c><00:36:59.539><c> smallness.</c>

00:37:09.340 --> 00:37:13.000
Some<00:37:09.659><c> suggest</c><00:37:10.179><c> that,</c><00:37:11.420><c> but</c><00:37:11.739><c> in</c><00:37:12.039><c> fact,</c>

00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:17.159
when<00:37:13.239><c> you</c><00:37:13.400><c> look</c><00:37:13.559><c> at</c><00:37:13.679><c> its</c><00:37:13.920><c> usage</c><00:37:14.500><c> in</c><00:37:15.239><c> the</c><00:37:15.820><c> Old</c><00:37:16.079><c> Testament,</c>

the<00:37:17.579><c> sense,</c><00:37:17.960><c> we</c><00:37:18.340><c> believe,</c><00:37:18.880><c> is</c><00:37:19.079><c> more</c><00:37:19.480><c> perfectly</c><00:37:19.920><c> represented</c>

00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:26.320
by<00:37:20.980><c> the</c><00:37:21.239><c> concept</c><00:37:21.639><c> of</c><00:37:22.119><c> fineness</c><00:37:22.800><c> or</c><00:37:23.559><c> thinness.</c>

00:37:26.780 --> 00:37:29.559
Exodus<00:37:26.980><c> 16</c><00:37:27.539><c> refers</c><00:37:28.039><c> to</c><00:37:28.380><c> manna.</c>

00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:31.400
When<00:37:30.300><c> they</c><00:37:30.460><c> looked</c><00:37:30.639><c> at</c><00:37:30.780><c> the</c><00:37:31.000><c> manna,</c>

00:37:36.139 --> 00:37:38.219
and<00:37:36.739><c> they</c><00:37:36.980><c> asked,</c><00:37:37.340><c> what</c><00:37:37.380><c> is</c><00:37:37.599><c> it?</c>

00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:40.260
That's<00:37:39.039><c> the</c><00:37:39.119><c> same</c><00:37:39.280><c> word.</c>

00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:42.679
In<00:37:40.619><c> Leviticus</c><00:37:41.099><c> 16</c><00:37:41.760><c> verse</c><00:37:42.079><c> 12,</c>

00:37:42.940 --> 00:37:44.619
it's<00:37:43.179><c> referring</c><00:37:43.699><c> to</c><00:37:43.920><c> the</c><00:37:44.159><c> incense,</c>

00:37:44.619 --> 00:37:53.000
which<00:37:45.480><c> must</c><00:37:45.800><c> be</c><00:37:46.780><c> beaten,</c><00:37:48.780><c> small,</c><00:37:50.619><c> refined,</c><00:37:51.940><c> a</c><00:37:52.139><c> powder.</c>

00:37:54.460 --> 00:37:57.420
There<00:37:54.780><c> was</c><00:37:55.719><c> a</c><00:37:56.260><c> still</c><00:37:56.539><c> small</c><00:37:56.880><c> voice,</c>

00:38:06.260 --> 00:38:08.820
Now,<00:38:07.260><c> there</c><00:38:07.420><c> are</c><00:38:07.659><c> places</c><00:38:08.059><c> in</c><00:38:08.360><c> Scripture</c>
