00:08:42.820 --> 00:08:45.220
with<00:08:43.340><c> these</c><00:08:43.700><c> great</c><00:08:44.000><c> and</c><00:08:44.340><c> glorious</c><00:08:44.740><c> promises</c>

00:08:45.220 --> 00:08:49.019
that<00:08:45.480><c> are</c><00:08:45.700><c> about</c><00:08:45.919><c> to</c><00:08:46.320><c> break</c><00:08:46.639><c> in</c><00:08:46.879><c> upon</c><00:08:47.100><c> this</c><00:08:47.519><c> godless</c><00:08:48.000><c> world.</c>

00:08:49.580 --> 00:08:53.399
So<00:08:49.580><c> just</c><00:08:49.899><c> as</c><00:08:50.120><c> Elijah</c><00:08:50.440><c> took</c><00:08:50.759><c> that</c><00:08:51.039><c> child</c><00:08:51.419><c> and</c><00:08:52.279><c> prayed,</c>

00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.919
notice<00:08:53.759><c> 22,</c><00:08:54.440><c> Yahweh</c><00:08:54.740><c> heard</c><00:08:55.039><c> the</c><00:08:55.240><c> voice</c><00:08:55.799><c> of</c><00:08:56.080><c> Elijah.</c>

00:08:57.799 --> 00:08:59.419
It<00:08:57.940><c> wasn't</c><00:08:58.179><c> the</c><00:08:58.399><c> voice</c><00:08:58.559><c> of</c><00:08:58.700><c> the</c><00:08:58.799><c> widow</c><00:08:58.960><c> woman,</c>

00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:01.600
it<00:08:59.980><c> was</c><00:09:00.120><c> the</c><00:09:00.299><c> voice</c><00:09:00.460><c> of</c><00:09:00.679><c> Elijah.</c>

00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:06.840
For<00:09:02.259><c> Elijah</c><00:09:03.019><c> was</c><00:09:03.679><c> the</c><00:09:03.919><c> projection</c><00:09:04.659><c> of</c><00:09:05.639><c> Yahweh</c><00:09:05.879><c> like</c><00:09:06.139><c> the</c><00:09:06.379><c> Elohim,</c>

00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.720
the<00:09:07.360><c> angels</c><00:09:07.620><c> of</c><00:09:07.879><c> God</c><00:09:08.039><c> that</c><00:09:08.220><c> encamp</c><00:09:08.600><c> about</c><00:09:08.879><c> those</c><00:09:09.100><c> that</c><00:09:09.379><c> fear</c><00:09:09.519><c> him</c>

00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:10.980
and<00:09:09.799><c> deliver</c><00:09:10.120><c> them.</c>

00:09:11.980 --> 00:09:16.019
Elijah<00:09:12.419><c> was</c><00:09:12.740><c> the</c><00:09:12.980><c> projection</c><00:09:13.659><c> sent</c><00:09:14.279><c> to</c><00:09:14.480><c> this</c><00:09:14.700><c> Gentile</c><00:09:15.159><c> woman.</c>

00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.159
So<00:09:17.360><c> we</c><00:09:17.960><c> can</c><00:09:18.240><c> see</c><00:09:19.139><c> easily</c><00:09:19.860><c> that</c><00:09:20.820><c> that</c><00:09:21.320><c> woman's</c><00:09:21.860><c> faith</c>

00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.639
was<00:09:22.580><c> going</c><00:09:22.799><c> to</c><00:09:23.139><c> undoubtedly</c><00:09:23.659><c> take,</c><00:09:24.080><c> as</c><00:09:24.259><c> it</c><00:09:24.500><c> were,</c>

00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.659
quantum<00:09:25.179><c> leap</c><00:09:25.539><c> into</c><00:09:26.120><c> the</c><00:09:27.259><c> connection</c><00:09:27.879><c> with</c><00:09:28.220><c> God.</c>

00:09:29.019 --> 00:09:30.500
And<00:09:29.240><c> that's</c><00:09:29.419><c> where</c><00:09:29.539><c> God</c><00:09:29.860><c> wanted</c><00:09:30.179><c> her.</c>

00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:32.720
He<00:09:31.360><c> brings</c><00:09:31.679><c> us</c><00:09:31.919><c> through</c><00:09:32.100><c> those</c><00:09:32.419><c> trials</c>

00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:36.460
in<00:09:32.899><c> order</c><00:09:33.159><c> to</c><00:09:33.740><c> purge</c><00:09:34.159><c> the</c><00:09:34.500><c> flesh,</c><00:09:34.840><c> purge</c><00:09:35.179><c> the</c><00:09:35.480><c> dross.</c>

00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:38.960
And<00:09:36.879><c> so</c><00:09:37.080><c> Elijah</c><00:09:37.759><c> took</c><00:09:38.460><c> the</c><00:09:38.740><c> child</c>

00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:41.460
and<00:09:39.100><c> brought</c><00:09:39.259><c> him</c><00:09:39.440><c> down</c><00:09:39.679><c> out</c><00:09:39.820><c> of</c><00:09:39.899><c> the</c><00:09:40.139><c> chamber</c><00:09:40.460><c> into</c><00:09:40.679><c> the</c><00:09:40.919><c> house,</c>

00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:43.799
delivered<00:09:42.240><c> him</c><00:09:42.460><c> unto</c><00:09:42.639><c> his</c><00:09:42.919><c> mother.</c>

00:09:44.659 --> 00:09:48.500
And<00:09:44.840><c> Elijah</c><00:09:45.139><c> said,</c><00:09:45.440><c> See,</c><00:09:46.820><c> thy</c><00:09:47.019><c> son</c><00:09:47.340><c> liveth.</c>

00:09:49.019 --> 00:09:50.379
Your<00:09:49.279><c> son's</c><00:09:49.600><c> a</c><00:09:49.740><c> living.</c>

00:09:50.899 --> 00:09:53.120

00:09:54.139 --> 00:09:54.779
You<00:09:54.240><c> know,</c><00:09:54.320><c> what</c><00:09:54.480><c> does</c><00:09:54.539><c> she</c><00:09:54.700><c> do?</c>

00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.700
Grab<00:09:55.299><c> him</c><00:09:55.559><c> and</c><00:09:55.779><c> tell</c><00:09:56.139><c> him,</c><00:09:56.419><c> thank</c><00:09:56.659><c> God.</c>

00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:01.720
She<00:10:00.279><c> looks</c><00:10:00.460><c> at</c><00:10:00.620><c> her</c><00:10:00.840><c> son.</c>

00:10:02.259 --> 00:10:04.080
And<00:10:02.440><c> then</c><00:10:02.580><c> she</c><00:10:02.720><c> looks</c><00:10:02.919><c> at</c><00:10:03.139><c> Elijah.</c>

00:10:05.059 --> 00:10:06.360
And<00:10:05.179><c> she</c><00:10:05.279><c> looks</c><00:10:05.440><c> at</c><00:10:05.600><c> her</c><00:10:05.759><c> son</c><00:10:05.899><c> and</c><00:10:06.080><c> him.</c>

00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:08.200
And<00:10:06.799><c> what</c><00:10:06.960><c> does</c><00:10:07.059><c> she</c><00:10:07.259><c> say?</c>

00:10:08.539 --> 00:10:13.700
Now,<00:10:09.720><c> by</c><00:10:10.000><c> this</c><00:10:10.340><c> I</c><00:10:10.679><c> know</c><00:10:11.179><c> that</c><00:10:11.899><c> thou</c><00:10:12.320><c> art</c><00:10:12.759><c> a</c><00:10:12.940><c> man</c><00:10:13.080><c> of</c><00:10:13.340><c> God</c>

00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:18.480
the<00:10:17.159><c> God</c><00:10:17.299><c> of</c><00:10:17.399><c> Abraham,</c><00:10:17.679><c> Isaac,</c><00:10:17.899><c> and</c><00:10:18.120><c> Jacob,</c>

00:10:22.539 --> 00:10:24.360
She<00:10:22.960><c> was</c><00:10:23.279><c> convicted.</c>

00:10:24.980 --> 00:10:29.639
She<00:10:25.220><c> was</c><00:10:25.659><c> earnestly</c><00:10:26.259><c> and</c><00:10:26.600><c> sincerely</c><00:10:27.279><c> convicted</c><00:10:28.220><c> of</c><00:10:29.200><c> the</c><00:10:29.480><c> truth.</c>

00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:31.600
It<00:10:29.799><c> took</c><00:10:30.120><c> steps,</c><00:10:30.980><c> young</c><00:10:31.120><c> people.</c>

00:10:31.940 --> 00:10:33.559
It<00:10:32.259><c> takes</c><00:10:32.480><c> steps</c><00:10:32.799><c> in</c><00:10:33.000><c> our</c><00:10:33.200><c> life.</c>

00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:40.059
But<00:10:34.220><c> we</c><00:10:34.440><c> have</c><00:10:34.720><c> to</c><00:10:34.940><c> begin</c><00:10:35.740><c> by</c><00:10:36.559><c> submitting</c><00:10:37.399><c> to</c><00:10:38.840><c> the</c><00:10:39.259><c> Word</c><00:10:39.480><c> of</c><00:10:39.700><c> God,</c>

00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:48.860
We<00:10:45.720><c> experienced</c><00:10:46.259><c> a</c><00:10:46.440><c> terrible</c><00:10:46.840><c> tragedy</c><00:10:47.279><c> last</c><00:10:47.720><c> year.</c>

00:10:49.940 --> 00:10:56.779
A<00:10:50.220><c> very</c><00:10:50.679><c> dear</c><00:10:51.139><c> brother</c><00:10:51.940><c> who</c><00:10:54.279><c> was,</c><00:10:54.700><c> as</c><00:10:54.899><c> it</c><00:10:55.120><c> were,</c>

fraternal<00:10:57.419><c> twins</c><00:10:57.919><c> with</c><00:10:58.399><c> myself.</c>

00:10:59.539 --> 00:11:01.399
We<00:10:59.659><c> learned</c><00:10:59.820><c> the</c><00:11:00.019><c> truth</c><00:11:00.120><c> together,</c><00:11:00.480><c> went</c><00:11:00.620><c> to</c><00:11:00.740><c> the</c><00:11:00.919><c> same</c><00:11:01.120><c> school,</c>

00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.960
came<00:11:01.620><c> out</c><00:11:01.799><c> of</c><00:11:01.879><c> the</c><00:11:02.080><c> world</c><00:11:02.500><c> virtually</c><00:11:03.179><c> the</c><00:11:03.419><c> same</c><00:11:03.700><c> time.</c>

00:11:05.419 --> 00:11:06.360
Went<00:11:05.500><c> through</c><00:11:05.679><c> many</c><00:11:05.960><c> trials.</c>

00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.299
Then<00:11:06.559><c> he</c><00:11:06.639><c> lost</c><00:11:06.899><c> his</c><00:11:07.200><c> father</c><00:11:07.419><c> who</c><00:11:07.539><c> was</c><00:11:08.279><c> an</c><00:11:08.480><c> alien.</c>

00:11:09.700 --> 00:11:11.259
Went<00:11:09.820><c> through</c><00:11:09.960><c> many</c><00:11:10.259><c> trials.</c>

00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:13.240
Married<00:11:12.159><c> his</c><00:11:12.340><c> sister.</c>

00:11:14.179 --> 00:11:15.720
This<00:11:14.399><c> sister</c><00:11:14.679><c> had</c><00:11:14.840><c> come</c><00:11:15.039><c> into</c><00:11:15.240><c> the</c><00:11:15.539><c> truth</c>

00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.840
and<00:11:15.919><c> had</c><00:11:16.080><c> a</c><00:11:16.299><c> son</c><00:11:17.240><c> by</c><00:11:17.519><c> a</c><00:11:17.600><c> previous</c><00:11:17.840><c> marriage.</c>

00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:21.679
So<00:11:19.620><c> you</c><00:11:19.720><c> can</c><00:11:19.899><c> get</c><00:11:20.019><c> an</c><00:11:20.200><c> idea</c><00:11:20.360><c> of</c><00:11:20.519><c> the</c><00:11:20.639><c> background</c><00:11:21.059><c> of</c><00:11:21.220><c> her</c><00:11:21.379><c> son.</c>

00:11:21.940 --> 00:11:23.840

And<00:16:43.159><c> he</c><00:16:43.519><c> burst</c><00:16:43.799><c> in</c><00:16:44.039><c> on</c><00:16:44.240><c> Israel,</c><00:16:44.539><c> as</c><00:16:44.620><c> we</c><00:16:44.799><c> mentioned</c><00:16:44.980><c> earlier,</c>

00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.279
like<00:16:45.600><c> a</c><00:16:45.960><c> flame</c><00:16:46.460><c> and</c><00:16:47.519><c> like</c><00:16:47.700><c> a</c><00:16:47.980><c> sword.</c>

00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:50.879
But<00:16:49.220><c> Obadiah,</c><00:16:49.960><c> in</c><00:16:50.299><c> the</c><00:16:50.580><c> narrative,</c>

00:16:50.980 --> 00:16:53.279
if<00:16:51.080><c> you</c><00:16:51.179><c> put</c><00:16:51.360><c> in</c><00:16:51.519><c> at</c><00:16:51.639><c> verse</c><00:16:51.860><c> 5</c><00:16:52.220><c> in</c><00:16:52.539><c> Ahab,</c>

00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.720
Obadiah<00:16:53.899><c> and</c><00:16:54.059><c> Ahab</c><00:16:54.340><c> went</c><00:16:54.519><c> out</c><00:16:54.779><c> looking</c><00:16:55.059><c> for,</c><00:16:55.480><c> as</c><00:16:55.659><c> it</c><00:16:55.919><c> says,</c>

00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:59.919
fountains<00:16:57.720><c> and</c><00:16:58.200><c> all</c><00:16:58.679><c> brooks.</c>

00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:03.659
Now,<00:17:00.679><c> they</c><00:17:00.820><c> were</c><00:17:01.000><c> looking,</c><00:17:01.299><c> they</c><00:17:01.500><c> had</c><00:17:01.720><c> given</c><00:17:01.860><c> up</c><00:17:02.159><c> looking</c><00:17:02.399><c> for</c><00:17:02.700><c> Elijah.</c>

00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.859
And<00:17:03.940><c> you</c><00:17:03.980><c> know,</c><00:17:04.160><c> Elijah</c><00:17:04.599><c> was</c><00:17:04.859><c> the</c><00:17:05.220><c> cause</c><00:17:05.819><c> of</c><00:17:06.619><c> this</c><00:17:06.880><c> drought.</c>

00:17:08.059 --> 00:17:09.819
Actually,<00:17:08.519><c> it</c><00:17:08.519><c> was</c><00:17:08.779><c> Yahweh</c><00:17:09.099><c> withholding</c><00:17:09.539><c> the</c><00:17:09.680><c> rain</c>

00:17:09.819 --> 00:17:10.980
as<00:17:09.980><c> we</c><00:17:10.240><c> read</c><00:17:10.359><c> back</c><00:17:10.619><c> under</c><00:17:10.740><c> the</c><00:17:10.859><c> law.</c>

00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:13.140
But<00:17:11.240><c> Elijah</c><00:17:11.859><c> was</c><00:17:12.599><c> the</c><00:17:12.880><c> word.</c>

00:17:13.220 --> 00:17:15.799
And<00:17:13.339><c> they</c><00:17:13.480><c> were</c><00:17:13.680><c> looking</c><00:17:13.880><c> for</c><00:17:14.160><c> Elijah</c><00:17:14.579><c> for</c><00:17:14.920><c> a</c><00:17:15.059><c> period</c><00:17:15.180><c> of</c><00:17:15.380><c> time</c><00:17:15.559><c> now.</c>

00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:17.160
They<00:17:15.960><c> gave</c><00:17:16.140><c> up</c><00:17:16.339><c> looking</c><00:17:16.539><c> for</c><00:17:16.759><c> the</c><00:17:16.940><c> cause.</c>

00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:18.500
They<00:17:17.339><c> were</c><00:17:17.480><c> looking</c><00:17:17.680><c> for</c><00:17:17.900><c> the</c><00:17:18.180><c> effects.</c>

00:17:18.579 --> 00:17:20.000
Let's<00:17:18.740><c> look</c><00:17:18.900><c> for</c><00:17:19.059><c> the</c><00:17:19.279><c> effects</c><00:17:19.500><c> of</c><00:17:19.720><c> rain.</c>

00:17:20.299 --> 00:17:21.539
And<00:17:20.420><c> they</c><00:17:20.519><c> looked</c><00:17:20.700><c> here</c><00:17:20.960><c> and</c><00:17:21.039><c> they</c><00:17:21.180><c> looked</c><00:17:21.299><c> there.</c>

00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:25.000
Well,<00:17:21.660><c> let's</c><00:17:21.740><c> look</c><00:17:21.900><c> for</c><00:17:22.119><c> brooks</c><00:17:22.400><c> and</c><00:17:22.660><c> water,</c><00:17:23.359><c> brooks</c><00:17:23.660><c> and</c><00:17:23.920><c> fountains.</c>

00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:29.900
You<00:17:25.359><c> know,</c><00:17:25.480><c> we</c><00:17:25.619><c> can</c><00:17:25.880><c> lose</c><00:17:26.819><c> ourselves</c><00:17:27.720><c> in</c><00:17:28.240><c> looking</c><00:17:28.619><c> for</c><00:17:29.220><c> the</c><00:17:29.500><c> blessings</c>

00:17:29.900 --> 00:17:33.640
of<00:17:30.180><c> Yahweh</c><00:17:30.480><c> in</c><00:17:30.599><c> our</c><00:17:30.839><c> life</c><00:17:31.160><c> to</c><00:17:31.640><c> measure</c><00:17:32.119><c> our</c><00:17:32.460><c> spiritual</c><00:17:32.920><c> lives</c><00:17:33.359><c> by.</c>

00:17:34.059 --> 00:17:37.599
Sometimes<00:17:34.500><c> we</c><00:17:35.059><c> get</c><00:17:35.259><c> into,</c><00:17:35.880><c> well,</c><00:17:36.440><c> I'm</c><00:17:36.799><c> materially</c><00:17:37.180><c> prosperous.</c>

00:17:37.660 --> 00:17:39.579
Maybe<00:17:37.900><c> that's</c><00:17:38.279><c> obviously</c><00:17:38.619><c> the</c><00:17:38.880><c> blessing</c><00:17:39.099><c> of</c><00:17:39.339><c> God.</c>

00:17:39.619 --> 00:17:41.140
Well,<00:17:39.839><c> we</c><00:17:39.980><c> know</c><00:17:40.140><c> better</c><00:17:40.339><c> than</c><00:17:40.599><c> that,</c><00:17:40.880><c> don't</c><00:17:40.980><c> we?</c>

00:17:41.579 --> 00:17:43.420
But<00:17:41.779><c> you</c><00:17:41.900><c> see,</c><00:17:42.019><c> people</c><00:17:42.279><c> look</c><00:17:42.519><c> for</c><00:17:42.680><c> the</c><00:17:42.980><c> effects.</c>

00:17:43.420 --> 00:17:47.240
They<00:17:44.099><c> don't</c><00:17:44.220><c> look</c><00:17:44.400><c> for</c><00:17:44.539><c> the</c><00:17:44.779><c> cause</c><00:17:45.380><c> of</c><00:17:46.140><c> spiritual</c><00:17:46.740><c> fruit.</c>

00:17:47.740 --> 00:17:49.839
And<00:17:47.960><c> that's</c><00:17:48.160><c> what</c><00:17:48.359><c> Ahab</c><00:17:48.599><c> and</c><00:17:48.779><c> Obadiah</c><00:17:49.240><c> started</c><00:17:49.559><c> doing.</c>

00:17:50.180 --> 00:17:51.819
They<00:17:50.359><c> were</c><00:17:50.539><c> out</c><00:17:50.680><c> looking</c><00:17:50.880><c> for</c><00:17:51.160><c> the</c><00:17:51.420><c> effects.</c>

00:17:52.259 --> 00:17:53.480
So<00:17:52.420><c> they</c><00:17:52.519><c> couldn't</c><00:17:52.980><c> find</c><00:17:53.359><c> it.</c>

00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:56.160
And<00:17:53.680><c> Obadiah</c><00:17:54.019><c> was</c><00:17:54.319><c> in</c><00:17:54.660><c> the</c><00:17:54.839><c> way</c><00:17:55.039><c> in</c><00:17:55.180><c> verse</c><00:17:55.440><c> 7.</c>

00:17:56.660 --> 00:17:58.980
Elijah<00:17:57.039><c> met</c><00:17:57.299><c> him</c><00:17:57.480><c> and</c><00:17:57.559><c> came</c><00:17:57.839><c> to</c><00:17:58.059><c> him.</c>

00:17:59.880 --> 00:18:05.960
And<00:18:00.079><c> Obadiah</c><00:18:00.519><c> said,</c><00:18:02.140><c> Elijah,</c><00:18:03.160><c> my</c><00:18:03.400><c> Lord,</c><00:18:04.599><c> art</c><00:18:04.779><c> thou</c><00:18:04.980><c> Elijah?</c>

00:18:06.660 --> 00:18:08.579
Elijah<00:18:07.140><c> said,</c><00:18:07.400><c> yes,</c><00:18:07.599><c> I</c><00:18:07.799><c> am.</c>

00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:10.759
And<00:18:09.000><c> you</c><00:18:09.099><c> notice</c><00:18:09.319><c> he</c><00:18:09.420><c> calls</c><00:18:09.640><c> him</c><00:18:09.880><c> Lord.</c>

00:18:10.819 --> 00:18:11.599
He<00:18:11.039><c> calls</c><00:18:11.240><c> him</c><00:18:11.440><c> Lord.</c>

00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:13.480
So<00:18:11.599><c> he</c><00:18:11.680><c> submits</c><00:18:12.359><c> to</c><00:18:12.619><c> Elijah.</c>

00:18:13.619 --> 00:18:16.960
We<00:18:13.779><c> should</c><00:18:14.039><c> submit</c><00:18:14.380><c> ourselves</c><00:18:15.019><c> one</c><00:18:15.319><c> to</c><00:18:15.599><c> another</c><00:18:15.940><c> in</c><00:18:16.240><c> brotherly</c><00:18:16.660><c> love.</c>

00:18:17.339 --> 00:18:19.359
And<00:18:17.480><c> that's</c><00:18:17.640><c> exactly</c><00:18:17.920><c> what</c><00:18:18.160><c> Obadiah</c><00:18:18.460><c> was</c><00:18:18.700><c> doing.</c>

00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:22.059
And<00:18:19.920><c> he</c><00:18:20.099><c> recognized</c><00:18:20.460><c> the</c><00:18:20.619><c> power</c><00:18:20.920><c> of</c><00:18:21.180><c> Elijah.</c>

00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.519
And<00:18:22.920><c> so</c><00:18:23.099><c> he</c><00:18:23.160><c> said,</c><00:18:24.380><c> what</c><00:18:24.420><c> about,</c><00:18:25.000><c> so</c><00:18:25.299><c> I'm</c><00:18:25.599><c> sorry,</c><00:18:25.839><c> in</c><00:18:25.900><c> verse</c><00:18:26.039><c> 8.</c>

00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:32.059
Elijah<00:18:27.259><c> told</c><00:18:27.619><c> him,</c><00:18:29.299><c> behold</c><00:18:29.599><c> Elijah,</c><00:18:30.400><c> go</c><00:18:30.680><c> tell</c><00:18:30.960><c> Ahab,</c><00:18:31.819><c> behold</c>

00:18:32.059 --> 00:18:33.299
Elijah's<00:18:32.599><c> here.</c>

00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.880
And<00:18:33.700><c> Obadiah</c><00:18:34.099><c> was</c><00:18:34.619><c> worried</c><00:18:35.259><c> because</c><00:18:36.119><c> he</c><00:18:36.660><c> said,</c><00:18:36.880><c> what</c><00:18:37.019><c> have</c><00:18:37.160><c> I</c><00:18:37.480><c> sinned</c>

00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:40.000
that<00:18:38.039><c> you</c><00:18:38.240><c> would</c><00:18:38.519><c> deliver</c><00:18:38.880><c> thy</c><00:18:39.099><c> servant</c><00:18:39.359><c> into</c><00:18:39.579><c> the</c><00:18:39.740><c> hand</c><00:18:39.880><c> of</c>

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:40.900
Ahab<00:18:40.180><c> to</c><00:18:40.440><c> slay</c><00:18:40.640><c> me?</c>

00:18:40.900 --> 00:18:42.059
He<00:18:41.460><c> was</c><00:18:41.720><c> worried.</c>

00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:44.660
Obadiah<00:18:42.680><c> told</c><00:18:42.900><c> him,</c><00:18:43.299><c> Ahab</c><00:18:43.339><c> has</c><00:18:43.480><c> looked</c><00:18:43.680><c> into</c><00:18:43.940><c> every</c><00:18:44.319><c> kingdom.</c>

00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:48.279
He's<00:18:45.160><c> taken</c><00:18:45.380><c> every</c><00:18:45.779><c> kingdom's</c><00:18:46.599><c> oath</c><00:18:46.779><c> that</c><00:18:47.180><c> they</c><00:18:47.599><c> have</c><00:18:47.920><c> not</c>

00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:49.039
seen<00:18:48.500><c> you</c><00:18:48.779><c> anywhere.</c>

00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:50.460
We've<00:18:49.420><c> looked</c><00:18:49.579><c> high</c><00:18:49.880><c> and</c><00:18:50.039><c> low</c><00:18:50.140><c> for</c><00:18:50.339><c> you.</c>

00:18:50.460 --> 00:18:51.599
We<00:18:50.619><c> can't</c><00:18:50.920><c> find</c><00:18:51.180><c> you.</c>

00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:52.859

00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:55.819
Yahweh<00:18:53.660><c> had</c><00:18:53.799><c> hit</c><00:18:53.880><c> him</c><00:18:53.980><c> just</c><00:18:54.160><c> like</c><00:18:54.299><c> he's</c><00:18:54.539><c> hidden</c><00:18:54.640><c> the</c><00:18:54.900><c> word,</c>

00:18:55.859 --> 00:18:58.660
the<00:18:56.160><c> truth</c><00:18:56.420><c> from</c><00:18:56.680><c> the</c><00:18:56.920><c> Jewish</c><00:18:57.200><c> nation</c><00:18:57.619><c> today.</c>

00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:01.400
As<00:18:58.900><c> we</c><00:18:59.119><c> mentioned</c><00:18:59.299><c> earlier</c><00:18:59.619><c> in</c><00:18:59.799><c> Amos,</c><00:19:00.019><c> it</c><00:19:00.180><c> talks</c><00:19:00.400><c> about</c><00:19:00.660><c> a</c><00:19:01.079><c> famine</c>

00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:06.000
of<00:19:02.119><c> hearing</c><00:19:02.420><c> the</c><00:19:02.720><c> word</c><00:19:02.880><c> of</c><00:19:03.039><c> God</c><00:19:03.579><c> and</c><00:19:04.200><c> a</c><00:19:04.579><c> thirst</c><00:19:05.039><c> for</c><00:19:05.700><c> hearing</c>

00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:07.160
the<00:19:06.299><c> words</c><00:19:06.519><c> of</c><00:19:06.680><c> the</c><00:19:06.839><c> Almighty.</c>

00:19:07.660 --> 00:19:09.740
And<00:19:07.940><c> that</c><00:19:08.140><c> famine</c><00:19:08.359><c> has</c><00:19:08.680><c> existed</c><00:19:08.920><c> in</c><00:19:09.059><c> the</c><00:19:09.160><c> nation</c><00:19:09.380><c> of</c><00:19:09.539><c> Israel.</c>

00:19:09.740 --> 00:19:13.740
And<00:19:09.940><c> it's</c><00:19:10.359><c> still</c><00:19:10.940><c> barren</c><00:19:11.519><c> over</c><00:19:11.779><c> there</c><00:19:12.019><c> as</c><00:19:12.259><c> far</c><00:19:12.440><c> as</c><00:19:12.720><c> spiritual</c><00:19:13.099><c> character</c>

00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:17.059

00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:20.819
So<00:19:17.759><c> what</c><00:19:18.019><c> we're</c><00:19:18.240><c> seeing</c><00:19:18.420><c> here</c><00:19:18.700><c> is</c><00:19:18.859><c> that</c><00:19:19.019><c> Obadiah</c><00:19:19.640><c> is</c><00:19:20.180><c> afraid</c>

00:19:20.819 --> 00:19:23.500
because<00:19:21.579><c> they've</c><00:19:21.980><c> already</c><00:19:22.279><c> looked</c><00:19:22.559><c> and</c><00:19:22.720><c> you've</c><00:19:23.039><c> gone</c><00:19:23.160><c> everywhere.</c>

00:19:23.660 --> 00:19:27.660
The<00:19:23.920><c> Spirit</c><00:19:24.259><c> of</c><00:19:24.460><c> God</c><00:19:24.700><c> has</c><00:19:25.039><c> moved</c><00:19:25.339><c> you</c><00:19:25.759><c> in</c><00:19:26.180><c> a</c><00:19:26.319><c> way</c><00:19:26.460><c> that</c><00:19:26.640><c> is</c><00:19:26.980><c> supernatural.</c>

00:19:27.859 --> 00:19:29.920
We<00:19:28.200><c> can't</c><00:19:28.559><c> find</c><00:19:28.799><c> you</c><00:19:29.079><c> anywhere.</c>

00:19:30.220 --> 00:19:31.119
Well,<00:19:30.380><c> it's</c><00:19:30.539><c> really</c><00:19:30.680><c> no</c><00:19:30.920><c> wonder.</c>

00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:33.539
They'd<00:19:31.480><c> never</c><00:19:31.759><c> have</c><00:19:32.059><c> thought</c><00:19:32.299><c> to</c><00:19:32.480><c> look</c><00:19:32.680><c> in</c><00:19:32.900><c> Jezebel's</c><00:19:33.400><c> own</c>

00:19:33.539 --> 00:19:34.559
hometown,<00:19:34.200><c> would</c><00:19:34.259><c> they?</c>

00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:39.640
God<00:19:35.599><c> had</c><00:19:35.819><c> well</c><00:19:36.059><c> hidden</c><00:19:36.319><c> him</c><00:19:36.839><c> right</c><00:19:37.180><c> in</c><00:19:37.359><c> the</c><00:19:37.660><c> nest</c><00:19:37.880><c> of</c><00:19:38.059><c> those</c><00:19:38.339><c> vipers.</c>

00:19:40.019 --> 00:19:43.539
Yahweh<00:19:40.160><c> had</c><00:19:40.460><c> put</c><00:19:40.680><c> Elijah</c><00:19:41.240><c> to</c><00:19:41.660><c> perform</c><00:19:42.160><c> the</c><00:19:42.339><c> most</c><00:19:42.579><c> constructive</c><00:19:43.059><c> work</c><00:19:43.279><c> in</c><00:19:43.420><c> all</c>

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:46.960
But<00:19:45.160><c> Elijah</c><00:19:45.440><c> reassures</c><00:19:45.920><c> Obadiah</c><00:19:46.339><c> and</c><00:19:46.480><c> tells</c><00:19:46.819><c> him,</c>

00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.720
you<00:19:47.299><c> go</c><00:19:47.660><c> tell</c><00:19:48.259><c> thy</c><00:19:48.759><c> Lord.</c>

00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:55.019
Well,<00:19:52.359><c> Obadiah</c><00:19:52.700><c> had</c><00:19:52.920><c> just</c><00:19:53.180><c> said,</c><00:19:53.940><c> my</c><00:19:54.099><c> Lord.</c>

00:19:55.460 --> 00:19:57.480
Elijah<00:19:55.740><c> said,</c><00:19:56.099><c> tell</c><00:19:56.200><c> thy</c><00:19:56.559><c> Lord.</c>

00:19:58.900 --> 00:20:01.519
You<00:19:58.980><c> know,</c><00:19:59.140><c> Obadiah</c><00:19:59.460><c> would</c><00:19:59.599><c> have</c><00:19:59.660><c> been</c><00:19:59.799><c> a</c><00:19:59.940><c> tremendous</c><00:20:00.420><c> advocate</c><00:20:00.819><c> for</c><00:20:01.079><c> Elijah</c>

00:20:05.099 --> 00:20:06.279
They<00:20:05.339><c> could</c><00:20:05.460><c> have</c><00:20:05.599><c> worked</c><00:20:05.759><c> together</c>

00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:09.440
because<00:20:06.700><c> we're</c><00:20:06.960><c> told</c><00:20:07.180><c> that</c><00:20:07.680><c> Obadiah</c><00:20:08.079><c> hid</c><00:20:08.299><c> those</c><00:20:08.559><c> 50</c><00:20:08.759><c> men</c>

00:20:11.819 --> 00:20:14.160
He<00:20:11.819><c> had</c><00:20:11.900><c> two</c><00:20:12.180><c> groups</c><00:20:12.440><c> of</c><00:20:12.640><c> 50</c><00:20:12.859><c> men</c><00:20:13.039><c> in</c><00:20:13.240><c> a</c><00:20:13.380><c> cave.</c>

00:20:19.099 --> 00:20:21.019
Where<00:20:19.380><c> did</c><00:20:19.559><c> he</c><00:20:19.700><c> get</c><00:20:19.859><c> that</c><00:20:20.200><c> faith,</c><00:20:20.440><c> young</c><00:20:20.660><c> people?</c>

Yea,<00:21:16.200><c> if</c><00:21:16.519><c> thou</c><00:21:16.819><c> cryest</c><00:21:17.640><c> after</c><00:21:18.000><c> knowledge</c><00:21:18.460><c> and</c><00:21:19.019><c> liftest</c><00:21:19.539><c> up</c>

Why?

00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:42.000
Yahweh<00:21:41.339><c> had</c><00:21:41.559><c> hidden</c><00:21:41.720><c> it.</c>

00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:45.319

00:21:58.700 --> 00:22:00.980
He<00:21:58.980><c> can</c><00:21:59.119><c> do</c><00:21:59.259><c> the</c><00:21:59.500><c> same</c><00:21:59.680><c> for</c><00:21:59.819><c> you</c><00:22:00.000><c> and</c><00:22:00.180><c> me.</c>

00:27:46.900 --> 00:27:49.380
We<00:27:47.059><c> can</c><00:27:47.319><c> make</c><00:27:47.660><c> friends,</c><00:27:48.339><c> be</c><00:27:48.420><c> they</c><00:27:48.619><c> male</c><00:27:48.799><c> or</c><00:27:49.000><c> female,</c>

00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:20.599

I'll<00:38:29.820><c> call</c><00:38:29.900><c> on</c><00:38:30.039><c> the</c><00:38:30.079><c> name</c><00:38:30.219><c> of</c><00:38:30.400><c> Yahweh,</c><00:38:30.840><c> and</c><00:38:31.000><c> the</c><00:38:31.159><c> God</c><00:38:31.320><c> that</c><00:38:31.480><c> answers</c><00:38:31.659><c> by</c><00:38:32.000><c> fire,</c>

00:38:32.739 --> 00:38:34.119
let<00:38:32.940><c> him</c><00:38:33.440><c> be</c><00:38:33.760><c> God.</c>

00:38:34.619 --> 00:38:38.159
And<00:38:34.960><c> all</c><00:38:35.139><c> the</c><00:38:35.300><c> people</c><00:38:35.500><c> said,</c><00:38:36.139><c> it's</c><00:38:36.300><c> well</c><00:38:36.559><c>-spoken.</c>

00:38:38.460 --> 00:38:39.639
Very<00:38:38.860><c> good</c><00:38:39.219><c> idea.</c>

00:38:39.699 --> 00:38:40.639
Let's<00:38:39.900><c> just</c><00:38:40.300><c> see.</c>

00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:43.820
We<00:38:41.300><c> haven't</c><00:38:41.519><c> had</c><00:38:41.719><c> a</c><00:38:41.940><c> vision</c><00:38:42.199><c> from</c><00:38:42.500><c> God</c><00:38:42.780><c> before.</c>

00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:46.099
We<00:38:43.980><c> haven't</c><00:38:44.179><c> seen</c><00:38:44.420><c> anything</c><00:38:44.780><c> since</c><00:38:45.079><c> Jeroboam</c><00:38:45.559><c> had</c><00:38:45.719><c> his</c><00:38:45.880><c> hand</c>

00:38:46.099 --> 00:38:47.519
withered<00:38:46.340><c> by</c><00:38:46.539><c> the</c><00:38:46.739><c> prophet.</c>

00:38:47.860 --> 00:38:49.760
We<00:38:48.199><c> haven't</c><00:38:48.400><c> seen</c><00:38:48.639><c> any</c><00:38:48.960><c> miracles</c><00:38:49.360><c> of</c><00:38:49.599><c> God.</c>

00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:50.599
Let's<00:38:50.059><c> see</c><00:38:50.320><c> it.</c>

00:38:50.699 --> 00:38:52.880
They<00:38:50.860><c> didn't</c><00:38:51.000><c> see</c><00:38:51.119><c> the</c><00:38:51.300><c> miracle</c><00:38:51.519><c> of</c><00:38:51.679><c> the</c><00:38:51.739><c> widow's</c><00:38:52.059><c> son.</c>

00:38:52.940 --> 00:38:55.199
They<00:38:53.079><c> didn't</c><00:38:53.239><c> see</c><00:38:53.380><c> the</c><00:38:53.599><c> miracle</c><00:38:53.800><c> of</c><00:38:53.980><c> the</c><00:38:54.059><c> widow's</c><00:38:54.880><c> barrel</c><00:38:55.059><c> of</c>

00:38:56.719 --> 00:38:58.139
That<00:38:56.980><c> was</c><00:38:57.179><c> well</c><00:38:57.440><c>-hidden.</c>

00:38:58.380 --> 00:39:00.920
That<00:38:58.559><c> was</c><00:38:58.719><c> for</c><00:38:58.920><c> a</c><00:38:59.119><c> great</c><00:38:59.280><c> purpose,</c><00:38:59.639><c> and</c><00:38:59.760><c> that</c><00:38:59.960><c> widow</c><00:39:00.099><c> will</c><00:39:00.300><c> walk</c><00:39:00.519><c> with</c><00:39:00.739><c> you</c>

00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:01.159
and<00:39:01.079><c> I</c>

00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:02.880
in<00:39:01.280><c> the</c><00:39:01.400><c> kingdom</c><00:39:01.559><c> of</c><00:39:01.760><c> God.</c>

00:39:04.139 --> 00:39:05.760
Elijah<00:39:04.500><c> said</c><00:39:04.739><c> unto</c><00:39:04.920><c> the</c><00:39:05.159><c> prophets</c><00:39:05.420><c> of</c><00:39:05.639><c> Baal,</c>

00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:07.880
go<00:39:06.059><c> on,</c><00:39:06.400><c> choose</c><00:39:06.739><c> you</c><00:39:06.940><c> the</c><00:39:07.079><c> bullet.</c>

00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:09.539
Do<00:39:08.360><c> the</c><00:39:08.599><c> deed.</c>

00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:13.440
Call<00:39:10.460><c> on</c><00:39:10.659><c> your</c><00:39:10.780><c> god</c><00:39:11.059><c> Baal</c><00:39:11.500><c> for</c><00:39:12.420><c> year</c><00:39:12.679><c> many.</c>

00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:16.400
But<00:39:14.039><c> remember,</c><00:39:15.179><c> no</c><00:39:15.360><c> fire.</c>

00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:18.940
Cut<00:39:17.760><c> it</c><00:39:17.980><c> open.</c>

00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:20.260
And<00:39:19.480><c> so</c><00:39:19.619><c> they</c><00:39:19.739><c> did</c><00:39:19.960><c> so.</c>

00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:24.960
And<00:39:20.579><c> they</c><00:39:20.820><c> called</c><00:39:21.179><c> on</c><00:39:21.380><c> him</c><00:39:21.840><c> from</c><00:39:22.239><c> morning</c><00:39:23.000><c> to</c><00:39:23.760><c> noon</c><00:39:24.260><c> saying,</c>

00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:26.940
Oh,<00:39:25.559><c> Baal,</c><00:39:26.340><c> hear</c><00:39:26.340><c> us.</c>

00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:29.300
Oh,<00:39:27.719><c> Baal,</c><00:39:28.079><c> hear</c><00:39:28.340><c> us.</c>

00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:32.420
They<00:39:30.539><c> actually</c><00:39:30.920><c> believed</c><00:39:31.239><c> that</c><00:39:31.460><c> garbage.</c>

00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:35.039
Some<00:39:33.480><c> of</c><00:39:33.659><c> them,</c><00:39:34.119><c> perhaps.</c>

00:39:36.079 --> 00:39:39.340
But<00:39:36.159><c> there</c><00:39:36.480><c> was</c><00:39:36.659><c> no</c><00:39:36.900><c> voice,</c><00:39:38.019><c> nor</c><00:39:38.119><c> any</c><00:39:38.360><c> that</c><00:39:38.539><c> answered,</c>

00:39:39.619 --> 00:39:41.960
and<00:39:39.760><c> they</c><00:39:40.079><c> leaped</c><00:39:40.519><c> upon</c><00:39:40.880><c> the</c><00:39:41.119><c> altar</c><00:39:41.320><c> which</c><00:39:41.500><c> was</c><00:39:41.719><c> made.</c>

00:39:42.139 --> 00:39:43.380
There<00:39:42.300><c> was</c><00:39:42.480><c> no</c><00:39:42.719><c> God</c><00:39:42.900><c> to</c><00:39:43.139><c> answer.</c>

00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:44.900
It's<00:39:43.780><c> no</c><00:39:44.019><c> wonder.</c>

00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:49.219
But<00:39:45.659><c> they</c><00:39:45.980><c> danced</c><00:39:46.400><c> and</c><00:39:46.539><c> they</c><00:39:46.880><c> leaped</c><00:39:47.079><c> and</c><00:39:47.280><c> they</c><00:39:47.840><c> shouted</c><00:39:48.019><c> and</c><00:39:48.360><c> screamed.</c>

00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:50.860
And<00:39:49.780><c> now</c><00:39:50.019><c> it</c><00:39:50.039><c> was</c><00:39:50.260><c> Elijah's</c><00:39:50.639><c> turn.</c>

00:39:50.900 --> 00:39:52.179
He<00:39:51.019><c> was</c><00:39:51.320><c> starting</c><00:39:51.599><c> to</c><00:39:51.900><c> see.</c>

00:39:52.500 --> 00:39:54.739
He<00:39:52.699><c> had</c><00:39:52.860><c> always</c><00:39:53.320><c> seen,</c><00:39:53.679><c> but</c><00:39:53.840><c> now</c><00:39:54.079><c> it's</c><00:39:54.199><c> his</c><00:39:54.320><c> opportunity.</c>

00:39:54.739 --> 00:39:55.880
He<00:39:54.900><c> began</c><00:39:55.059><c> to</c><00:39:55.320><c> mock</c><00:39:55.579><c> them.</c>

00:39:56.239 --> 00:39:57.960
And<00:39:56.460><c> that's</c><00:39:56.639><c> something</c><00:39:56.820><c> I've</c><00:39:57.119><c> really</c><00:39:57.340><c> got</c><00:39:57.500><c> to</c><00:39:57.619><c> watch</c><00:39:57.719><c> in</c><00:39:57.820><c> my</c>

00:39:57.960 --> 00:39:58.500
own<00:39:58.139><c> life,</c>

00:39:58.500 --> 00:40:04.659
is<00:39:59.099><c> being</c><00:39:59.400><c> careful</c><00:40:00.079><c> not</c><00:40:00.800><c> to</c><00:40:01.119><c> be</c><00:40:01.400><c> so</c><00:40:01.860><c> sarcastic</c><00:40:02.679><c> with</c><00:40:03.099><c> false</c><00:40:03.579><c> religion.</c>

00:40:05.059 --> 00:40:06.980
I<00:40:05.239><c> can</c><00:40:05.400><c> be</c><00:40:05.539><c> that</c><00:40:05.760><c> way</c><00:40:05.900><c> amongst</c><00:40:06.219><c> you.</c>

00:40:07.019 --> 00:40:07.559
Perhaps.

00:40:07.860 --> 00:40:09.800
Maybe<00:40:08.159><c> I</c><00:40:08.400><c> shouldn't</c><00:40:08.579><c> because</c><00:40:08.800><c> it</c><00:40:08.960><c> might</c><00:40:09.079><c> be</c><00:40:09.219><c> an</c><00:40:09.380><c> example.</c>

00:40:10.219 --> 00:40:11.559
But<00:40:10.380><c> we</c><00:40:10.699><c> shouldn't.</c>

00:40:11.780 --> 00:40:15.539
But<00:40:11.900><c> you</c><00:40:12.019><c> see,</c><00:40:12.420><c> Elijah</c><00:40:12.639><c> was</c><00:40:12.880><c> in</c><00:40:13.079><c> a</c><00:40:13.239><c> face</c><00:40:13.599><c> of</c><00:40:14.099><c> immense</c><00:40:14.480><c> danger.</c>

00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:19.260
And<00:40:15.800><c> he</c><00:40:16.019><c> knew</c><00:40:16.480><c> that</c><00:40:16.719><c> if</c><00:40:16.880><c> he</c><00:40:17.000><c> did</c><00:40:17.199><c> not</c><00:40:17.559><c> eradicate</c><00:40:18.340><c> through</c><00:40:18.539><c> Yahweh's</c>

00:40:19.260 --> 00:40:23.280
strength<00:40:19.539><c> this</c><00:40:20.840><c> virus</c><00:40:21.320><c> that</c><00:40:21.500><c> was</c><00:40:21.639><c> in</c><00:40:21.739><c> Israel,</c><00:40:22.739><c> all</c><00:40:22.960><c> of</c><00:40:23.139><c> Israel</c>

00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:23.940
was<00:40:23.519><c> lost.</c>

00:40:24.219 --> 00:40:26.119
Even<00:40:24.440><c> the</c><00:40:24.739><c> 7</c><00:40:25.059><c>,000.</c>

00:40:26.679 --> 00:40:28.500
So<00:40:27.239><c> what</c><00:40:27.420><c> did</c><00:40:27.539><c> he</c><00:40:27.679><c> say?</c>

00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:31.639
He<00:40:29.019><c> started</c><00:40:29.260><c> shouting,</c><00:40:30.079><c> cry</c><00:40:30.500><c> louder.</c>

00:40:32.500 --> 00:40:32.780
Louder.

00:40:32.820 --> 00:40:34.980
He<00:40:32.920><c> can't</c><00:40:33.340><c> hear</c><00:40:33.599><c> you.</c>

00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:37.980
He<00:40:36.019><c> says,</c><00:40:36.760><c> he's</c><00:40:36.980><c> a</c><00:40:37.099><c> God.</c>

00:40:38.380 --> 00:40:39.820
Surely<00:40:38.579><c> he's</c><00:40:38.860><c> a</c><00:40:38.860><c> God.</c>

00:40:40.019 --> 00:40:41.719
Perhaps<00:40:40.300><c> he's</c><00:40:40.679><c> talking.</c>

00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:44.239
Or<00:40:42.699><c> he's</c><00:40:43.260><c> pursuing.</c>

00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:45.800
Or<00:40:45.019><c> he's</c><00:40:45.159><c> in</c><00:40:45.219><c> a</c><00:40:45.480><c> journey.</c>

00:40:45.860 --> 00:40:47.320
Or<00:40:46.079><c> peradventure,</c><00:40:46.579><c> he's</c><00:40:46.980><c> sleep.</c>

00:40:47.699 --> 00:40:51.500
You<00:40:48.239><c> know,</c><00:40:48.380><c> the</c><00:40:48.539><c> Babylonian</c><00:40:49.619><c> story</c><00:40:50.159><c> that</c><00:40:50.340><c> they've</c><00:40:50.559><c> dug</c><00:40:50.679><c> up</c><00:40:50.820><c> in</c><00:40:51.019><c> archeological</c>
