00:03:46.060 --> 00:03:49.620
When<00:03:46.180><c> I've</c><00:03:46.360><c> managed</c><00:03:46.620><c> to</c><00:03:46.800><c> get</c><00:03:46.900><c> into</c><00:03:47.060><c> this</c><00:03:47.319><c> envelope</c><00:03:47.620><c> and</c><00:03:48.919><c> take</c>

00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:50.659
out<00:03:49.840><c> my</c><00:03:50.159><c> slides,</c>

00:03:50.659 --> 00:03:53.800
I'll<00:03:51.439><c> put</c><00:03:51.599><c> up</c><00:03:51.819><c> a</c><00:03:51.919><c> summary</c><00:03:52.199><c> there</c><00:03:52.599><c> of</c><00:03:52.659><c> where</c><00:03:53.020><c> these</c><00:03:53.319><c> things</c><00:03:53.539><c> may</c>

00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.159
have<00:03:53.960><c> been</c><00:03:54.139><c> involved</c><00:03:54.479><c> in</c><00:03:54.680><c> the</c><00:03:54.860><c> plagues.</c>

00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.319
Some,<00:04:09.259><c> as</c><00:04:09.360><c> you</c><00:04:09.419><c> can</c><00:04:09.699><c> see,</c><00:04:11.020><c> the</c><00:04:11.300><c> weather</c><00:04:11.479><c> was</c><00:04:12.219><c> certainly</c><00:04:12.919><c> involved.</c>

00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.819
In<00:04:13.419><c> fact,</c><00:04:13.620><c> one</c><00:04:13.800><c> of</c><00:04:13.939><c> the</c><00:04:14.060><c> plagues</c><00:04:14.360><c> actually</c><00:04:15.099><c> involved</c><00:04:15.819><c> a</c><00:04:16.579><c> disastrous</c><00:04:17.199><c> storm,</c><00:04:17.699><c> as</c>

00:04:17.819 --> 00:04:19.939
you<00:04:17.920><c> can</c><00:04:18.160><c> see,</c><00:04:18.319><c> the</c><00:04:18.500><c> seventh</c><00:04:18.920><c> plague.</c>

00:04:22.060 --> 00:04:24.120
We<00:04:22.120><c> don't</c><00:04:22.279><c> have</c><00:04:22.500><c> to</c><00:04:22.680><c> prove</c><00:04:22.939><c> there</c><00:04:23.199><c> that</c><00:04:23.339><c> the</c><00:04:23.480><c> weather</c><00:04:23.620><c> was</c><00:04:23.899><c> used.</c>

00:04:24.379 --> 00:04:26.540
It's<00:04:24.560><c> stated</c><00:04:24.759><c> for</c><00:04:25.000><c> us,</c><00:04:25.139><c> but</c><00:04:25.379><c> the</c><00:04:25.819><c> point</c><00:04:26.000><c> that</c><00:04:26.180><c> we</c><00:04:26.279><c> should</c><00:04:26.360><c> be</c>

00:04:26.540 --> 00:04:28.579
looking<00:04:26.699><c> at,</c><00:04:26.959><c> as</c><00:04:27.079><c> I've</c><00:04:27.399><c> mentioned</c><00:04:27.620><c> there,</c>

00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:33.879
is<00:04:29.220><c> particularly</c><00:04:29.699><c> the</c><00:04:30.439><c> control</c><00:04:31.160><c> that</c><00:04:31.360><c> is</c><00:04:31.620><c> used,</c><00:04:32.819><c> how</c><00:04:33.040><c> it</c><00:04:33.279><c> comes</c><00:04:33.639><c> and</c>

00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:35.680
goes<00:04:34.160><c> at</c><00:04:34.360><c> exactly</c><00:04:34.879><c> the</c><00:04:35.139><c> right</c><00:04:35.399><c> time.</c>

00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.100
And<00:04:35.839><c> that's</c><00:04:37.120><c> an</c><00:04:37.620><c> important</c><00:04:38.040><c> principle,</c><00:04:38.480><c> of</c><00:04:38.740><c> course.</c>

00:04:39.100 --> 00:04:43.019
If<00:04:40.379><c> these</c><00:04:40.879><c> things</c><00:04:41.040><c> are</c><00:04:41.180><c> going</c><00:04:41.319><c> to</c><00:04:41.420><c> have</c><00:04:41.519><c> their</c><00:04:41.800><c> effect,</c><00:04:42.939><c> they</c>

00:04:43.019 --> 00:04:48.379
have<00:04:43.459><c> to</c><00:04:43.720><c> be</c><00:04:44.879><c> controlled</c><00:04:45.540><c> exactly</c><00:04:46.560><c> through</c><00:04:47.199><c> the</c><00:04:47.420><c> angels</c><00:04:47.779><c> to</c>

00:04:48.379 --> 00:04:50.040
achieve<00:04:48.839><c> that</c><00:04:49.100><c> effect.</c>

00:04:53.420 --> 00:04:56.399
The<00:04:53.620><c> locusts,</c><00:04:54.300><c> well,</c><00:04:54.439><c> we</c><00:04:54.579><c> specifically</c><00:04:55.040><c> mentioned</c><00:04:55.620><c> that</c><00:04:56.040><c> the</c>

east<00:04:56.680><c> wind</c><00:04:57.040><c> and</c><00:04:57.279><c> then</c><00:04:57.459><c> the</c><00:04:57.600><c> west</c><00:04:57.800><c> wind</c><00:04:58.019><c> were</c><00:04:58.240><c> involved</c><00:04:58.939><c> in</c><00:04:59.420><c> that.</c>

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.019
And<00:05:00.300><c> as</c><00:05:00.560><c> I've</c><00:05:00.839><c> suggested</c><00:05:01.160><c> there,</c><00:05:02.019><c> they</c><00:05:02.279><c> may</c><00:05:03.420><c> well</c><00:05:03.620><c> have</c><00:05:03.759><c> been</c>

00:05:04.019 --> 00:05:06.540

00:05:06.540 --> 00:05:10.279

00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.699
The<00:05:11.639><c> plague</c><00:05:11.819><c> of</c><00:05:12.019><c> darkness</c><00:05:12.819><c> suggested</c><00:05:13.660><c> there</c><00:05:13.939><c> that</c><00:05:14.100><c> that</c><00:05:14.279><c> might</c><00:05:14.480><c> have</c>

00:05:14.699 --> 00:05:17.660

00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:24.360
And<00:05:17.959><c> then</c><00:05:19.839><c> more</c><00:05:20.899><c> speculative</c><00:05:21.459><c> that</c><00:05:21.800><c> the</c><00:05:22.040><c> frogs</c><00:05:22.379><c> and</c><00:05:23.040><c> the</c><00:05:23.500><c> flies</c><00:05:23.800><c> might</c><00:05:24.120><c> have</c>

00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.759
So<00:05:30.000><c> let's</c><00:05:30.899><c> have</c><00:05:31.040><c> a</c><00:05:31.040><c> look</c><00:05:31.160><c> at</c><00:05:31.259><c> one</c><00:05:31.399><c> or</c><00:05:31.480><c> two</c><00:05:31.579><c> of</c><00:05:31.660><c> the</c><00:05:31.899><c> details</c><00:05:32.180><c> of</c><00:05:32.399><c> this.</c>

00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.620
And<00:06:15.699><c> the</c><00:06:15.860><c> Lord</c><00:06:16.300><c> rained</c><00:06:16.819><c> hail</c><00:06:17.319><c> upon</c><00:06:17.680><c> the</c><00:06:17.899><c> land</c><00:06:18.060><c> of</c><00:06:18.279><c> Egypt.</c>

00:06:18.899 --> 00:06:23.839
So<00:06:19.100><c> there</c><00:06:19.279><c> was</c><00:06:19.500><c> hail</c><00:06:19.720><c> and</c><00:06:19.959><c> fire</c><00:06:20.319><c> mingled</c><00:06:20.699><c> with</c><00:06:20.879><c> the</c><00:06:21.060><c> hail,</c><00:06:21.579><c> very</c><00:06:21.980><c> grievous,</c><00:06:23.199><c> such</c><00:06:23.459><c> as</c>

00:06:29.939 --> 00:06:33.540
So<00:06:30.680><c> it</c><00:06:30.819><c> was</c><00:06:31.160><c> controlled</c><00:06:31.579><c> by</c><00:06:31.920><c> God.</c><00:06:32.220><c> When</c><00:06:32.360><c> Moses</c><00:06:32.720><c> put</c><00:06:33.040><c> forth</c><00:06:33.279><c> his</c>

00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.740
Thou<00:18:52.859><c> stretchest</c><00:18:53.420><c> out</c><00:18:53.640><c> thy</c><00:18:53.940><c> right</c><00:18:54.339><c> hand,</c><00:18:54.880><c> the</c><00:18:55.000><c> earth</c><00:18:55.700><c> swallowed</c><00:18:56.240><c> them</c><00:18:56.500><c> up.</c>

00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:59.779
That<00:18:57.039><c> suggests</c><00:18:57.619><c> an</c><00:18:58.279><c> earthquake,</c><00:18:58.839><c> does</c><00:18:58.839><c> it</c><00:18:59.059><c> not?</c>

00:18:59.980 --> 00:19:05.700
Was<00:19:00.339><c> part</c><00:19:00.519><c> of</c><00:19:00.660><c> the</c><00:19:00.819><c> forces</c><00:19:01.079><c> used</c><00:19:01.440><c> by</c><00:19:01.759><c> God</c><00:19:02.339><c> to</c><00:19:03.539><c> dispose</c><00:19:04.119><c> of</c><00:19:04.900><c> the</c><00:19:05.160><c> Egyptians?</c>

00:19:05.700 --> 00:19:09.740
So<00:19:06.819><c> we</c><00:19:07.480><c> can</c><00:19:07.700><c> see</c><00:19:07.819><c> there</c><00:19:08.000><c> are</c><00:19:08.000><c> hints</c><00:19:08.259><c> in</c><00:19:08.619><c> the</c><00:19:08.779><c> record</c><00:19:09.180><c> of</c><00:19:09.559><c> what</c>

00:19:09.740 --> 00:19:13.859
we<00:19:10.000><c> have</c><00:19:10.180><c> more</c><00:19:10.480><c> explicitly</c><00:19:11.019><c> stated</c><00:19:11.400><c> in</c><00:19:11.720><c> Psalm</c><00:19:12.460><c> 77.</c>

00:19:15.059 --> 00:19:24.259
So<00:19:15.099><c> we</c><00:19:15.259><c> mustn't</c><00:19:15.480><c> think</c><00:19:15.839><c> of</c><00:19:16.619><c> the</c><00:19:16.940><c> children</c><00:19:17.180><c> of</c><00:19:17.420><c> Israel</c><00:19:17.859><c> going</c><00:19:19.019><c> through</c><00:19:19.619><c> the</c><00:19:19.920><c> waters,</c><00:19:21.079><c> pleasant</c><00:19:21.940><c> sunny</c><00:19:22.819><c> day</c><00:19:23.299><c> without</c><00:19:23.599><c> a</c><00:19:23.799><c> concern.</c>

00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:28.000
It<00:19:24.400><c> was</c><00:19:24.900><c> a</c><00:19:25.259><c> terrifying</c><00:19:25.720><c> time</c><00:19:26.160><c> in</c><00:19:26.299><c> which</c><00:19:26.559><c> their</c><00:19:27.039><c> faith</c><00:19:27.440><c> in</c><00:19:27.720><c> God</c>

00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:31.299
was<00:19:28.799><c> tested,</c><00:19:29.259><c> but</c><00:19:29.400><c> of</c><00:19:29.579><c> course</c><00:19:29.720><c> he</c><00:19:29.880><c> brought</c><00:19:30.099><c> them</c><00:19:30.359><c> through.</c>

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:36.299
We're<00:19:32.440><c> going</c><00:19:32.440><c> to</c><00:19:32.500><c> look</c><00:19:32.640><c> now</c><00:19:32.920><c> at</c><00:19:33.859><c> the</c><00:19:34.099><c> conquest</c><00:19:34.640><c> of</c><00:19:35.000><c> the</c><00:19:35.200><c> land.</c>

00:19:37.859 --> 00:19:44.759
And<00:19:38.000><c> I'll</c><00:19:39.079><c> put</c><00:19:39.299><c> another</c><00:19:40.240><c> overhead</c><00:19:41.799><c> here</c><00:19:42.200><c> that</c><00:19:43.740><c> covers</c><00:19:44.160><c> this</c><00:19:44.460><c> and</c><00:19:44.680><c> a</c>

00:19:54.299 --> 00:19:58.180
I've<00:19:55.279><c> entitled</c><00:19:55.539><c> it</c><00:19:56.119><c> success</c><00:19:56.640><c> in</c><00:19:56.880><c> battle</c><00:19:57.140><c> because</c><00:19:57.579><c> of</c><00:19:58.019><c> course</c>

00:19:58.180 --> 00:20:06.579

00:20:06.740 --> 00:20:10.740

00:20:12.900 --> 00:20:19.859
We<00:20:13.539><c> shall</c><00:20:13.740><c> look</c><00:20:14.420><c> a</c><00:20:14.880><c> bit</c><00:20:15.059><c> later</c><00:20:15.400><c> on</c><00:20:16.119><c> at</c><00:20:17.900><c> the</c><00:20:18.799><c> bringing</c><00:20:19.000><c> of</c><00:20:19.599><c> more</c>

00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:31.680
So<00:20:28.420><c> the</c><00:20:28.619><c> conquest</c><00:20:28.940><c> of</c><00:20:29.119><c> the</c><00:20:29.299><c> land,</c><00:20:30.619><c> the</c><00:20:30.779><c> crossing</c><00:20:30.980><c> of</c><00:20:31.200><c> the</c><00:20:31.359><c> Jordan.</c>

Let's<00:20:32.140><c> have</c><00:20:32.339><c> a</c><00:20:32.400><c> look</c><00:20:32.559><c> at</c><00:20:33.460><c> Joshua</c><00:20:33.880><c> chapter</c><00:20:34.279><c> 3.</c>

00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:44.079
This<00:20:40.539><c> is</c><00:20:40.720><c> not</c><00:20:40.940><c> of</c><00:20:41.019><c> course</c><00:20:41.779><c> specifically</c><00:20:42.839><c> success</c><00:20:43.460><c> in</c><00:20:43.859><c> battle</c>

The<00:22:07.140><c> priests</c><00:22:07.660><c> who</c><00:22:08.099><c> led</c><00:22:08.279><c> the</c><00:22:08.440><c> way</c><00:22:08.579><c> into</c><00:22:08.740><c> the</c><00:22:08.920><c> water</c><00:22:09.039><c> had</c><00:22:09.200><c> to</c><00:22:09.420><c> remain</c><00:22:09.779><c> there</c><00:22:10.420><c> until</c><00:22:11.079><c> they'd</c><00:22:11.359><c> all</c>

00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:25.500
Now<00:22:22.839><c> I've</c><00:22:23.119><c> suggested</c><00:22:23.339><c> on</c><00:22:23.579><c> there</c><00:22:23.960><c> that</c><00:22:24.599><c> an</c><00:22:24.880><c> earthquake</c><00:22:25.220><c> might</c>

00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:36.779
Let<00:22:31.059><c> me</c><00:22:31.240><c> put</c><00:22:31.400><c> up</c><00:22:31.539><c> a</c><00:22:31.740><c> map</c><00:22:32.359><c> to</c><00:22:35.259><c> show</c><00:22:35.480><c> you</c><00:22:35.599><c> what</c><00:22:35.700><c> I</c><00:22:35.920><c> mean.</c>

00:22:37.539 --> 00:22:41.839
It's<00:22:37.900><c> a</c><00:22:37.960><c> map</c><00:22:38.740><c> of</c><00:22:38.920><c> Israel</c><00:22:39.519><c> today</c><00:22:40.059><c> rather</c><00:22:40.420><c> than</c><00:22:40.640><c> in</c><00:22:40.799><c> ancient</c><00:22:41.119><c> times,</c><00:22:41.579><c> but</c>

00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:46.220
we<00:22:42.160><c> can</c><00:22:42.440><c> still</c><00:22:42.660><c> see</c><00:22:43.000><c> the</c><00:22:43.960><c> locations,</c><00:22:44.559><c> which</c><00:22:44.759><c> is</c><00:22:44.880><c> what</c><00:22:45.059><c> matters.</c>

00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:54.759

about<00:22:55.019><c> here.</c>

00:22:55.420 --> 00:22:59.319

00:23:18.420 --> 00:23:23.680

00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.119
the<00:23:27.000><c> water</c><00:23:27.319><c> piles</c><00:23:27.700><c> up</c><00:23:28.359><c> and</c><00:23:28.680><c> eventually</c><00:23:29.119><c> finds</c><00:23:29.700><c> its</c><00:23:29.940><c> way</c>

00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:31.220
through<00:23:30.380><c> again.</c>

00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:35.579
This<00:23:31.859><c> is</c><00:23:32.079><c> known</c><00:23:32.220><c> to</c><00:23:32.380><c> have</c><00:23:32.599><c> happened</c><00:23:32.940><c> somewhere</c><00:23:33.700><c> in</c><00:23:33.960><c> the</c><00:23:34.119><c> 1920s</c>

British<00:23:38.420><c> Mandate.</c>

00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:46.019
So<00:23:39.420><c> the</c><00:23:40.079><c> suggestion</c><00:23:40.579><c> is</c><00:23:41.000><c> for</c><00:23:42.160><c> a</c><00:23:42.460><c> way</c><00:23:42.700><c> in</c><00:23:42.799><c> which</c><00:23:42.940><c> God</c><00:23:43.180><c> could</c><00:23:43.420><c> have</c><00:23:43.700><c> used</c><00:23:44.000><c> these</c><00:23:44.279><c> natural</c><00:23:44.640><c> phenomena</c><00:23:45.140><c> is</c>

00:23:46.019 --> 00:23:49.779
that<00:23:46.240><c> he</c><00:23:46.460><c> brought</c><00:23:46.599><c> about</c><00:23:46.859><c> an</c><00:23:47.099><c> earthquake</c><00:23:47.539><c> in</c><00:23:48.359><c> that</c><00:23:48.759><c> place.</c>

00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:53.680
The<00:23:49.980><c> waters</c><00:23:50.299><c> were</c><00:23:50.700><c> stopped</c><00:23:51.440><c> long</c><00:23:52.359><c> enough</c><00:23:52.599><c> for</c><00:23:52.859><c> Israel</c><00:23:53.180><c> to</c><00:23:53.359><c> go</c>

00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:57.420
through<00:23:54.099><c> and</c><00:23:54.579><c> then</c><00:23:55.140><c> broke</c><00:23:55.440><c> through</c><00:23:55.759><c> and</c><00:23:56.019><c> came</c><00:23:56.240><c> down</c><00:23:56.559><c> again.</c>

00:23:58.099 --> 00:24:01.180
Now<00:23:58.240><c> we're</c><00:23:58.380><c> not</c><00:23:58.779><c> minimizing</c><00:23:59.279><c> the</c><00:23:59.559><c> miraculous</c><00:24:00.039><c> in</c><00:24:00.240><c> all</c><00:24:00.460><c> this</c>

00:24:01.180 --> 00:24:07.099
because<00:24:02.140><c> it</c><00:24:02.759><c> requires</c><00:24:03.200><c> very</c><00:24:03.680><c> precise</c><00:24:04.299><c> controlling</c><00:24:05.019><c> of</c><00:24:06.339><c> the</c><00:24:06.539><c> earthquake</c>

00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:24.099

After<00:30:44.019><c> all,</c><00:30:44.880><c> we</c><00:30:46.359><c> have</c><00:30:46.680><c> stars</c><00:30:47.059><c> in</c><00:30:47.220><c> the</c><00:30:47.339><c> book</c><00:30:47.500><c> of</c><00:30:47.960><c> Revelation</c><00:30:48.460><c> representing</c><00:30:49.259><c> the</c><00:30:50.220><c> angels</c><00:30:50.619><c> of</c>

00:31:03.740 --> 00:31:06.460
But<00:31:03.920><c> perhaps</c><00:31:04.079><c> this</c><00:31:04.279><c> is</c><00:31:04.440><c> the</c><00:31:04.539><c> same</c><00:31:05.140><c> thing</c><00:31:05.599><c> here,</c><00:31:05.980><c> that</c><00:31:06.160><c> these</c>

00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:25.539
I'll<00:31:20.799><c> just</c><00:31:20.960><c> put</c><00:31:21.160><c> the</c><00:31:22.740><c> summary</c><00:31:23.319><c> back</c><00:31:24.160><c> on</c><00:31:24.400><c> for</c><00:31:24.539><c> you</c><00:31:24.660><c> for</c><00:31:25.160><c> a</c><00:31:25.319><c> moment.</c>

00:31:32.220 --> 00:31:37.859
So<00:31:32.460><c> I'll</c><00:31:32.640><c> just</c><00:31:33.400><c> put</c><00:31:34.819><c> that</c><00:31:35.059><c> on</c><00:31:35.279><c> so</c><00:31:35.500><c> that</c><00:31:35.599><c> you</c><00:31:35.680><c> can</c><00:31:35.859><c> see</c><00:31:36.019><c> the</c><00:31:36.259><c> references</c><00:31:36.579><c> for</c><00:31:36.839><c> yourself.</c>

00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:41.480
I've<00:31:39.299><c> given</c><00:31:39.519><c> two</c><00:31:39.839><c> later</c><00:31:40.759><c> examples.</c>

00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:46.200

the<00:31:50.259><c> Philistine</c><00:31:50.680><c> garrison</c><00:31:51.140><c> was</c>

00:31:51.779 --> 00:31:54.559
in<00:31:52.799><c> faith</c><00:31:53.099><c> that</c><00:31:53.279><c> God</c><00:31:53.480><c> would</c><00:31:53.759><c> provide</c><00:31:54.039><c> a</c><00:31:54.180><c> victory.</c>

00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:57.119
And<00:31:54.940><c> just</c><00:31:55.140><c> as</c><00:31:55.240><c> they</c><00:31:55.420><c> got</c><00:31:55.619><c> there,</c><00:31:56.099><c> there</c><00:31:56.339><c> was</c><00:31:56.480><c> an</c><00:31:56.660><c> earthquake,</c>

00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:02.640
And<00:31:58.779><c> so</c><00:31:59.240><c> they</c><00:31:59.599><c> were</c><00:32:00.400><c> able</c><00:32:00.839><c> to</c><00:32:01.400><c> achieve</c><00:32:01.740><c> victory</c><00:32:02.119><c> against</c><00:32:02.380><c> the</c>

00:32:05.539 --> 00:32:09.440
And<00:32:05.779><c> the</c><00:32:06.059><c> overthrow</c><00:32:06.460><c> of</c><00:32:07.960><c> Assyria.</c><00:32:08.400><c> Let's</c><00:32:08.599><c> just</c><00:32:08.880><c> look</c><00:32:09.059><c> briefly</c>

at<00:32:09.680><c> that.</c>

00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:18.940
We'll<00:32:11.259><c> look</c><00:32:11.519><c> at</c><00:32:13.559><c> Isaiah</c><00:32:14.180><c> chapter</c><00:32:14.599><c> 30,</c><00:32:16.839><c> not</c><00:32:17.359><c> the</c><00:32:17.519><c> chapter</c><00:32:17.819><c> 37</c><00:32:18.519><c> reference,</c>

00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:27.200
How<00:32:24.779><c> do</c><00:32:24.940><c> we</c><00:32:25.019><c> think</c><00:32:25.180><c> that</c><00:32:25.359><c> the</c><00:32:25.500><c> Assyrians</c><00:32:26.059><c> were</c><00:32:26.500><c> overthrown</c><00:32:27.019><c> in</c>

00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:23.700

But<00:36:21.199><c> we</c><00:36:21.320><c> do</c><00:36:21.440><c> have</c><00:36:21.619><c> a</c><00:36:21.699><c> number</c><00:36:21.960><c> of</c><00:36:22.239><c> examples</c><00:36:22.760><c> in</c><00:36:23.099><c> Scripture</c><00:36:23.559><c> of</c>

00:36:26.340 --> 00:36:31.900

00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:43.519

00:36:45.300 --> 00:36:50.679
I've<00:36:45.699><c> also</c><00:36:45.980><c> given</c><00:36:46.199><c> you</c><00:36:47.400><c> some</c><00:36:48.340><c> references</c><00:36:48.860><c> there</c><00:36:49.500><c> in</c><00:36:50.179><c> Deuteronomy.</c>

00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:28.900

00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:32.219
There's<00:37:29.199><c> a</c><00:37:29.300><c> well</c><00:37:29.440><c>-known</c><00:37:29.599><c> one</c><00:37:29.760><c> of</c><00:37:29.940><c> course</c><00:37:30.099><c> in</c><00:37:30.519><c> Ahab's</c><00:37:31.159><c> time.</c>

00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:36.539
Why<00:37:33.119><c> did</c><00:37:33.599><c> Elijah,</c><00:37:34.739><c> the</c><00:37:34.920><c> prophet</c><00:37:35.159><c> Elijah,</c><00:37:35.920><c> pray</c><00:37:36.219><c> that</c><00:37:36.340><c> there</c>

00:37:38.860 --> 00:37:44.820
It<00:37:39.460><c> was</c><00:37:39.679><c> because</c><00:37:39.960><c> he</c><00:37:40.179><c> wanted</c><00:37:41.000><c> Israel</c><00:37:42.480><c> to</c><00:37:42.840><c> see,</c><00:37:43.880><c> to</c><00:37:44.179><c> learn</c><00:37:44.559><c> from</c>

00:37:44.820 --> 00:37:45.360
their<00:37:44.940><c> mistakes,</c>

00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:47.980
to<00:37:45.559><c> realise</c><00:37:45.920><c> that</c><00:37:46.079><c> they</c><00:37:46.219><c> were</c><00:37:46.320><c> being</c><00:37:46.559><c> punished</c><00:37:46.900><c> in</c><00:37:47.139><c> accordance</c><00:37:47.440><c> with</c><00:37:47.679><c> what</c>

00:37:47.980 --> 00:37:48.679
Deuteronomy<00:37:48.440><c> said</c>

00:37:48.679 --> 00:37:51.599

00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:58.880
And<00:37:55.619><c> so</c><00:37:55.760><c> it</c><00:37:55.840><c> was</c><00:37:56.500><c> right</c><00:37:56.820><c> that</c><00:37:57.139><c> this</c><00:37:57.420><c> punishment</c><00:37:57.820><c> would</c><00:37:58.119><c> come</c>

00:38:12.260 --> 00:38:15.360
You'll<00:38:12.619><c> see</c><00:38:12.679><c> I've</c><00:38:12.900><c> also</c><00:38:13.139><c> put</c><00:38:13.420><c> Joel</c><00:38:13.719><c> chapter</c><00:38:14.079><c> 1</c><00:38:14.340><c> down</c><00:38:14.679><c> as</c><00:38:15.079><c> in</c>

Ahab's<00:38:15.800><c> time.</c>

00:38:15.940 --> 00:38:21.539
We're<00:38:16.059><c> not</c><00:38:16.280><c> told</c><00:38:16.860><c> when</c><00:38:17.559><c> the</c><00:38:18.000><c> book</c><00:38:18.260><c> of</c><00:38:18.539><c> Joel</c><00:38:18.780><c> was</c><00:38:20.360><c> actually</c><00:38:21.139><c> written</c>

00:38:21.539 --> 00:38:24.460

00:38:24.500 --> 00:38:28.519
There's<00:38:24.800><c> clearly</c><00:38:25.219><c> some</c><00:38:25.840><c> sort</c><00:38:26.039><c> of</c><00:38:26.239><c> invasion</c><00:38:26.639><c> going</c><00:38:26.920><c> on</c><00:38:27.159><c> but</c><00:38:27.300><c> which</c><00:38:27.480><c> invasion</c><00:38:27.880><c> it</c><00:38:28.099><c> is.</c>

00:38:29.019 --> 00:38:31.659
Some<00:38:29.320><c> would</c><00:38:29.599><c> place</c><00:38:29.800><c> it</c><00:38:30.059><c> in</c><00:38:30.239><c> the</c><00:38:30.500><c> time</c><00:38:30.659><c> of</c><00:38:30.840><c> the</c><00:38:30.940><c> Assyrian</c><00:38:31.280><c> invasion,</c>

00:38:31.659 --> 00:38:35.980
some<00:38:31.980><c> before</c><00:38:32.280><c> the</c><00:38:32.719><c> Babylonian</c><00:38:33.320><c> invasion</c><00:38:33.780><c> and</c><00:38:34.619><c> some</c><00:38:35.000><c> including</c><00:38:35.420><c> myself</c>

00:38:35.980 --> 00:38:39.980
inclined<00:38:36.579><c> towards</c><00:38:37.380><c> the</c><00:38:37.679><c> occasion</c><00:38:38.099><c> in</c><00:38:38.400><c> the</c><00:38:38.519><c> reign</c><00:38:38.699><c> of</c><00:38:38.900><c> Jehoshaphat</c>

00:38:39.980 --> 00:38:44.659
when<00:38:40.699><c> there</c><00:38:40.960><c> was</c><00:38:41.679><c> an</c><00:38:42.119><c> invasion</c><00:38:42.699><c> of</c><00:38:43.099><c> the</c><00:38:43.260><c> Moabites</c><00:38:44.099><c> and</c><00:38:44.500><c> the</c>

00:38:44.659 --> 00:38:46.179
Ammonites<00:38:45.219><c> and</c><00:38:45.760><c> others</c>

00:38:46.179 --> 00:38:48.639
and<00:38:46.539><c> God</c><00:38:46.739><c> gave</c><00:38:47.000><c> them</c><00:38:47.219><c> a</c><00:38:47.340><c> great</c><00:38:47.519><c> victory.</c>

00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:53.340
But<00:38:50.239><c> preceding</c><00:38:50.780><c> that</c><00:38:50.980><c> invasion</c><00:38:51.539><c> and</c><00:38:52.079><c> its</c><00:38:52.380><c> defeat,</c>

00:38:53.500 --> 00:38:57.440
there<00:38:53.619><c> was</c><00:38:54.079><c> clearly</c><00:38:54.739><c> depicted</c><00:38:55.179><c> in</c><00:38:55.380><c> the</c><00:38:55.480><c> book</c><00:38:55.639><c> of</c><00:38:55.900><c> Joel</c><00:38:56.559><c> a</c><00:38:57.000><c> time</c>

00:38:57.440 --> 00:38:59.260
of<00:38:58.380><c> famine.</c>

00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:04.780
So<00:39:00.920><c> let's</c><00:39:01.400><c> just</c><00:39:01.559><c> look</c><00:39:01.900><c> at</c><00:39:03.539><c> a</c><00:39:03.639><c> couple</c><00:39:03.840><c> of</c><00:39:04.059><c> those</c><00:39:04.300><c> examples.</c>

00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:07.460
I<00:39:04.880><c> think</c><00:39:05.019><c> that's</c><00:39:05.239><c> all</c><00:39:05.400><c> we've</c><00:39:05.599><c> really</c><00:39:05.760><c> got</c><00:39:05.980><c> time</c><00:39:06.260><c> to</c><00:39:06.500><c> do.</c>

00:39:07.980 --> 00:39:12.260

00:40:03.059 --> 00:40:06.599
God<00:40:03.579><c> used</c><00:40:03.840><c> these</c><00:40:04.099><c> things</c><00:40:04.320><c> to</c><00:40:04.619><c> warn</c><00:40:05.039><c> the</c><00:40:05.239><c> people</c><00:40:05.599><c> to</c><00:40:05.960><c> turn</c><00:40:06.340><c> from</c>

00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:40.980
So<00:40:39.199><c> those</c><00:40:39.500><c> of</c><00:40:39.619><c> you</c><00:40:39.719><c> who</c><00:40:39.820><c> have</c><00:40:39.960><c> experienced</c><00:40:40.260><c> that</c><00:40:40.539><c> sort</c><00:40:40.719><c> of</c><00:40:40.860><c> thing</c>

00:40:45.860 --> 00:40:50.159

00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:57.460

a<00:41:17.000><c> famine.</c>

00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:22.559

and<00:42:23.460><c> he</c><00:42:23.599><c> would</c><00:42:23.800><c> bless</c><00:42:23.960><c> them</c><00:42:24.159><c> with</c><00:42:24.440><c> rain.</c>

00:42:26.139 --> 00:42:27.199
And<00:42:26.300><c> Jeremiah</c><00:42:26.619><c> continues,</c>

00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:31.360
O<00:42:27.440><c> Lord,</c><00:42:28.400><c> though</c><00:42:28.619><c> our</c><00:42:28.980><c> iniquities</c><00:42:29.619><c> testify</c><00:42:30.280><c> against</c><00:42:30.800><c> us,</c>

00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:34.340
do<00:42:31.780><c> thou</c><00:42:31.960><c> it</c><00:42:32.119><c> for</c><00:42:32.300><c> thy</c><00:42:32.559><c> name's</c><00:42:33.139><c> sake,</c><00:42:33.239><c> O</c><00:42:33.539><c> Lord.</c>

00:42:34.780 --> 00:42:37.239
So<00:42:35.019><c> he's</c><00:42:35.260><c> acknowledging</c><00:42:35.619><c> the</c><00:42:36.480><c> sin</c><00:42:36.739><c> of</c><00:42:36.940><c> Israel.</c>

00:42:37.460 --> 00:42:43.460
He's<00:42:37.860><c> acknowledging</c><00:42:38.420><c> that</c><00:42:39.440><c> the</c><00:42:41.300><c> judgment</c><00:42:41.760><c> was</c><00:42:42.820><c> just.</c>

00:42:43.460 --> 00:42:47.159
But<00:42:44.320><c> so</c><00:42:44.599><c> often</c><00:42:45.239><c> Israel,</c>

00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:48.920
even<00:42:47.719><c> when</c><00:42:47.880><c> they</c><00:42:47.980><c> were</c><00:42:48.139><c> punished</c><00:42:48.420><c> in</c><00:42:48.599><c> this</c><00:42:48.760><c> way,</c>

00:42:48.980 --> 00:42:52.000
did<00:42:49.159><c> not</c><00:42:49.780><c> turn</c><00:42:50.340><c> to</c><00:42:51.139><c> God.</c>

00:42:52.300 --> 00:42:54.199
And<00:42:52.559><c> as</c><00:42:52.940><c> we</c><00:42:53.179><c> read</c><00:42:53.300><c> in</c><00:42:53.440><c> the</c><00:42:53.519><c> book</c><00:42:53.639><c> of</c><00:42:53.860><c> Chronicles,</c>

00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:57.579
there<00:42:54.420><c> came</c><00:42:54.699><c> a</c><00:42:54.860><c> time</c><00:42:55.059><c> when</c><00:42:55.280><c> in</c><00:42:55.480><c> God's</c><00:42:55.820><c> eyes</c><00:42:55.940><c> there</c><00:42:56.099><c> was</c><00:42:56.320><c> no</c><00:42:56.619><c> remedy.</c>

00:42:58.139 --> 00:43:01.519
There<00:42:58.300><c> was</c><00:42:58.500><c> nothing</c><00:42:58.800><c> for</c><00:42:59.119><c> it</c><00:42:59.239><c> but</c><00:42:59.380><c> to</c><00:42:59.599><c> bring</c><00:42:59.739><c> down</c><00:43:00.059><c> the</c><00:43:00.679><c> Babylonians</c>

00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:05.139
and<00:43:02.320><c> to</c><00:43:02.559><c> put</c><00:43:02.679><c> an</c><00:43:02.860><c> end</c><00:43:03.519><c> to</c><00:43:03.920><c> the</c><00:43:04.099><c> nation.</c>

00:43:09.539 --> 00:43:14.320
And<00:43:10.219><c> we've</c><00:43:10.900><c> looked</c><00:43:11.079><c> at</c><00:43:11.639><c> what</c><00:43:11.920><c> we</c><00:43:12.079><c> might</c><00:43:12.239><c> call</c><00:43:12.579><c> short</c><00:43:12.980><c>-term</c><00:43:13.559><c> use</c>

00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:18.000
of<00:43:15.039><c> these</c><00:43:15.400><c> things</c><00:43:15.780><c> in</c><00:43:16.440><c> achieving</c><00:43:17.139><c> victory</c><00:43:17.519><c> in</c><00:43:17.719><c> a</c><00:43:17.820><c> battle.</c>

00:43:18.340 --> 00:43:20.920
We've<00:43:18.539><c> looked</c><00:43:18.699><c> at</c><00:43:18.880><c> the</c><00:43:19.199><c> medium</c><00:43:19.500><c>-term</c><00:43:20.199><c> examples,</c>

00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:23.579
the<00:43:21.380><c> bringing</c><00:43:21.579><c> of</c><00:43:21.860><c> drought</c><00:43:22.139><c> and</c><00:43:22.599><c> famine.</c>

00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:25.500
And<00:43:24.260><c> even</c><00:43:24.500><c> in</c><00:43:24.679><c> the</c><00:43:24.880><c> longer</c><00:43:25.139><c> term,</c>

00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:29.579
God<00:43:25.860><c> has</c><00:43:26.679><c> used</c><00:43:27.340><c> the</c><00:43:27.960><c> weather</c><00:43:28.119><c> to</c><00:43:28.880><c> bring</c><00:43:29.159><c> about</c>

00:43:29.579 --> 00:43:33.800
the<00:43:30.139><c> promised</c><00:43:30.480><c> punishments</c><00:43:31.739><c> upon</c><00:43:32.360><c> the</c><00:43:32.780><c> nation</c><00:43:33.099><c> of</c><00:43:33.360><c> Israel.</c>

00:43:33.800 --> 00:43:37.280
And<00:43:34.760><c> so,</c><00:43:35.480><c> finally,</c><00:43:36.480><c> let's</c><00:43:36.739><c> just</c><00:43:36.940><c> have</c><00:43:37.079><c> a</c><00:43:37.139><c> look</c>

00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:42.300
at<00:43:37.980><c> the</c><00:43:38.840><c> prophecy</c><00:43:39.119><c> of</c><00:43:39.340><c> Isaiah,</c><00:43:40.920><c> Chapter</c><00:43:41.340><c> 5.</c>

00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:52.599
Where<00:43:50.820><c> here</c><00:43:51.000><c> we</c><00:43:51.199><c> are</c><00:43:51.539><c> specifically</c><00:43:52.059><c> told</c>

00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:56.400
that<00:43:53.199><c> God</c><00:43:53.559><c> would</c><00:43:53.900><c> bring</c><00:43:54.139><c> longer</c><00:43:54.480><c>-term</c><00:43:54.960><c> desolation</c><00:43:55.659><c> upon</c><00:43:55.900><c> Israel.</c>

00:43:56.619 --> 00:43:59.900
These<00:43:56.880><c> things,</c><00:43:57.139><c> of</c><00:43:57.280><c> course,</c><00:43:57.500><c> are</c><00:43:57.800><c> spoken</c><00:43:58.079><c> of</c><00:43:58.699><c> fairly</c><00:43:59.159><c> extensively</c>

00:43:59.900 --> 00:44:03.400
in<00:44:00.619><c> Leviticus</c><00:44:01.300><c> 26</c><00:44:01.940><c> and</c><00:44:02.159><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:44:02.619><c> 28.</c>

00:44:03.840 --> 00:44:05.659
But<00:44:03.900><c> he</c><00:44:04.699><c> specifically</c><00:44:05.159><c> says</c><00:44:05.480><c> here,</c>

00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:07.519
this<00:44:05.760><c> is</c><00:44:05.940><c> the</c><00:44:06.119><c> parable</c><00:44:06.320><c> of</c><00:44:06.820><c> the</c><00:44:07.019><c> vineyard</c>

00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:10.719
and<00:44:07.659><c> the</c><00:44:07.800><c> way</c><00:44:07.920><c> Israel</c><00:44:08.260><c> had</c><00:44:08.460><c> not</c><00:44:08.780><c> brought</c><00:44:09.099><c> forth</c><00:44:09.420><c> fruit</c><00:44:09.659><c> to</c><00:44:09.880><c> God.</c>

00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:11.739
He<00:44:11.059><c> says,</c>

00:44:17.619 --> 00:44:20.679
This<00:44:18.260><c> is</c><00:44:18.900><c> the</c><00:44:19.099><c> desolation</c><00:44:19.559><c> to</c><00:44:19.699><c> come</c><00:44:19.860><c> upon</c><00:44:20.079><c> Israel.</c>

00:44:20.679 --> 00:44:24.719
I<00:44:21.119><c> will</c><00:44:21.320><c> also</c><00:44:21.780><c> command</c><00:44:22.400><c> the</c><00:44:22.699><c> clouds</c><00:44:23.280><c> that</c><00:44:24.079><c> they</c><00:44:24.380><c> rain,</c>

00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:27.639
no<00:44:25.480><c> rain</c><00:44:26.260><c> upon</c><00:44:27.139><c> it.</c>

00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:30.960
And<00:44:28.260><c> we</c><00:44:28.360><c> know</c><00:44:28.539><c> that</c><00:44:29.320><c> Israel</c><00:44:29.739><c> lay</c><00:44:30.019><c> largely</c><00:44:30.519><c> desolate</c>

00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:33.500
for<00:44:31.219><c> many,</c><00:44:32.619><c> many</c><00:44:32.619><c> centuries.</c>

00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:35.739
And<00:44:34.059><c> part</c><00:44:34.219><c> of</c><00:44:34.360><c> the</c><00:44:34.440><c> way</c><00:44:34.619><c> in</c><00:44:34.719><c> which</c><00:44:34.840><c> this</c><00:44:35.019><c> was</c><00:44:35.280><c> achieved</c>

00:44:35.739 --> 00:44:40.659
was<00:44:36.599><c> by</c><00:44:37.800><c> reducing</c><00:44:38.400><c> the</c><00:44:38.579><c> amount</c><00:44:38.800><c> of</c><00:44:39.099><c> rainfall</c><00:44:39.519><c> on</c><00:44:40.280><c> the</c><00:44:40.460><c> land</c>

00:44:40.659 --> 00:44:43.480

It<00:44:56.139><c> is</c><00:44:56.400><c> now</c><00:44:56.780><c> 10</c><00:44:57.099><c>.44.</c>

00:44:57.719 --> 00:45:01.119
Please<00:44:57.940><c> be</c><00:44:58.280><c> back</c><00:44:58.460><c> in</c><00:44:58.599><c> your</c><00:44:58.840><c> seats</c><00:44:59.059><c> a</c><00:44:59.219><c> few</c><00:44:59.360><c> minutes</c><00:44:59.659><c> before</c><00:45:00.079><c> 9.</c>
