So,<00:05:46.000><c> the</c><00:05:46.079><c> difficulty</c><00:05:46.459><c> is</c><00:05:47.160><c> telling</c><00:05:47.660><c> you</c><00:05:47.860><c> something</c><00:05:48.100><c> that</c><00:05:48.240><c> you've</c><00:05:48.379><c> not</c>

00:05:48.579 --> 00:05:49.060
seen<00:05:48.759><c> before.</c>

00:05:49.060 --> 00:05:49.699
Does<00:05:49.240><c> that</c><00:05:49.480><c> sound...</c>

00:05:49.699 --> 00:05:50.279
Where's<00:05:49.879><c> the</c><00:05:50.100><c> presenter?</c>

00:05:50.660 --> 00:05:51.839
Does<00:05:50.800><c> that</c><00:05:51.079><c> sound</c><00:05:51.259><c> condescending?</c>

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.279
It<00:05:52.160><c> isn't</c><00:05:52.459><c> meant</c><00:05:52.680><c> to,</c><00:05:52.800><c> I</c><00:05:52.899><c> promise</c><00:05:53.180><c> you.</c>

00:05:55.660 --> 00:05:58.220
I<00:05:56.100><c> like</c><00:05:56.420><c> somebody</c><00:05:56.740><c> sitting</c><00:05:57.000><c> here,</c><00:05:57.560><c> generally</c><00:05:57.860><c> speaking.</c>

00:05:58.259 --> 00:06:02.600
I<00:05:58.519><c> find</c><00:05:58.759><c> it</c><00:05:59.120><c> almost</c><00:05:59.560><c> naked</c><00:06:00.100><c> standing</c><00:06:00.500><c> here</c><00:06:00.779><c> with</c><00:06:00.980><c> nobody</c><00:06:01.319><c> but</c><00:06:02.420><c> me.</c>

00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:03.699
Yeah,<00:06:02.839><c> you</c><00:06:03.060><c> bring</c><00:06:03.180><c> your</c><00:06:03.399><c> chair</c><00:06:03.500><c> here.</c>

00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:04.819
There's<00:06:03.920><c> a</c><00:06:04.019><c> good</c><00:06:04.180><c> chair.</c>

00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:08.459
Now,<00:06:07.040><c> you</c><00:06:07.079><c> get</c><00:06:07.279><c> to</c><00:06:07.560><c> have</c><00:06:07.639><c> a</c><00:06:07.759><c> look</c><00:06:08.000><c> at</c><00:06:08.160><c> me</c><00:06:08.300><c> the</c><00:06:08.439><c> last</c><00:06:08.459><c> time.</c>

00:06:08.459 --> 00:06:09.560
That<00:06:08.699><c> doesn't</c><00:06:08.939><c> matter</c><00:06:09.180><c> about</c><00:06:09.459><c> that.</c>

00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:10.339
She<00:06:09.660><c> won't</c><00:06:09.800><c> be</c><00:06:09.920><c> on</c><00:06:10.139><c> camera.</c>

00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:11.759
Sit<00:06:10.839><c> wide.</c>

00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:15.819
Right.

00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:19.560
Thank<00:06:17.839><c> you,</c><00:06:18.060><c> thank</c><00:06:18.360><c> you.</c>

00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.160
It<00:06:19.560><c> was</c><00:06:20.100><c> breakfast.</c>

00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:24.300
Look,<00:06:22.800><c> you're</c><00:06:22.959><c> the</c><00:06:23.240><c> straight</c><00:06:23.439><c> man.</c>

00:06:26.339 --> 00:06:28.000
I'll<00:06:26.699><c> tell</c><00:06:26.920><c> the</c><00:06:27.139><c> jokes.</c>

00:06:31.819 --> 00:06:34.660
So,<00:06:31.959><c> I'm</c><00:06:32.139><c> not</c><00:06:32.319><c> meaning</c><00:06:32.579><c> to</c><00:06:32.800><c> be</c><00:06:32.920><c> condescending</c><00:06:33.360><c> when</c><00:06:33.560><c> I</c><00:06:33.680><c> say</c><00:06:33.779><c> we'll</c><00:06:34.339><c> look</c><00:06:34.519><c> at</c>

00:06:34.660 --> 00:06:35.319
some<00:06:34.860><c> things</c><00:06:34.959><c> you've</c><00:06:35.160><c> not</c>

00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:35.920
seen<00:06:35.459><c> before.</c>

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.240
There<00:06:36.379><c> are</c><00:06:36.459><c> those</c><00:06:36.699><c> of</c><00:06:36.839><c> you</c><00:06:36.939><c> who</c><00:06:37.100><c> have</c><00:06:37.100><c> been</c><00:06:37.220><c> in</c><00:06:37.399><c> the</c><00:06:37.519><c> faith</c><00:06:37.639><c> longer</c><00:06:37.839><c> than</c><00:06:37.959><c> I</c>

00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:39.220
have,<00:06:38.600><c> and</c><00:06:38.800><c> you</c><00:06:38.899><c> could</c><00:06:39.060><c> tell</c>

00:06:39.220 --> 00:06:40.560
me<00:06:39.399><c> a</c><00:06:39.480><c> lot</c><00:06:39.620><c> about</c><00:06:39.819><c> Elijah</c><00:06:40.160><c> and</c><00:06:40.319><c> Elisha.</c>

00:06:40.699 --> 00:06:41.620
I'll<00:06:40.699><c> be</c><00:06:40.800><c> glad</c><00:06:40.899><c> if</c><00:06:41.060><c> you</c><00:06:41.139><c> will</c><00:06:41.279><c> afterwards.</c>

00:06:41.620 --> 00:06:44.160
I<00:06:42.079><c> just</c><00:06:42.300><c> happen</c><00:06:42.500><c> to</c><00:06:42.639><c> love</c><00:06:42.800><c> this</c><00:06:43.000><c> area</c><00:06:43.339><c> of</c><00:06:43.560><c> scripture,</c><00:06:44.019><c> and</c><00:06:44.019><c> I</c>

00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:45.240
enjoy<00:06:44.379><c> talking</c><00:06:44.759><c> about</c><00:06:45.019><c> it.</c>

00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:47.300
So,<00:06:45.920><c> that's</c><00:06:46.139><c> what</c><00:06:46.279><c> we're</c><00:06:46.480><c> going</c><00:06:46.660><c> to</c><00:06:46.860><c> do</c><00:06:46.959><c> today.</c>

00:06:47.699 --> 00:06:50.740
If<00:06:48.000><c> you</c><00:06:48.720><c> cannot</c><00:06:48.939><c> understand</c><00:06:49.399><c> my</c><00:06:49.660><c> accent,</c><00:06:50.060><c> I</c><00:06:50.199><c> can</c><00:06:50.379><c> do</c><00:06:50.519><c> nothing</c>

00:06:50.740 --> 00:06:51.279
about<00:06:51.079><c> it.</c>

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:55.019
I<00:06:51.959><c> was</c><00:06:52.300><c> born</c><00:06:52.680><c> in</c><00:06:53.060><c> the</c><00:06:53.199><c> Midlands</c><00:06:53.519><c> with</c><00:06:53.879><c> flat</c><00:06:54.199><c> vowels</c><00:06:54.600><c> and</c><00:06:54.920><c> all</c>

00:06:55.019 --> 00:06:56.699

00:06:56.699 --> 00:06:57.420
speaking.

00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.019
I<00:06:58.360><c> can</c><00:06:58.579><c> do</c><00:06:58.740><c> very</c><00:06:58.939><c> little</c><00:06:59.079><c> about</c><00:06:59.300><c> the</c><00:06:59.480><c> volume,</c><00:06:59.720><c> either.</c>

00:07:00.019 --> 00:07:01.939
I<00:07:00.100><c> don't</c><00:07:00.279><c> have</c><00:07:00.399><c> a</c><00:07:00.500><c> very</c><00:07:00.740><c> strong</c><00:07:00.920><c> voice,</c><00:07:01.180><c> and</c><00:07:01.319><c> if</c><00:07:01.420><c> I</c><00:07:01.620><c> crank</c><00:07:01.759><c> it</c>

00:07:01.939 --> 00:07:03.579
up,<00:07:02.399><c> you</c><00:07:02.500><c> won't</c><00:07:02.680><c> have</c><00:07:02.779><c> an</c><00:07:02.939><c> excitation</c><00:07:03.360><c> from</c>

me<00:07:03.819><c> tomorrow</c><00:07:04.079><c> morning.</c>

00:07:04.819 --> 00:07:07.439
So,<00:07:05.199><c> we'll</c><00:07:05.800><c> see</c><00:07:05.980><c> where</c><00:07:06.120><c> we</c><00:07:06.300><c> go</c><00:07:06.699><c> from</c><00:07:07.120><c> there.</c>

00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.860
I<00:07:07.879><c> also</c><00:07:08.160><c> don't</c><00:07:08.379><c> mind</c><00:07:08.540><c> being</c><00:07:08.839><c> interrupted.</c>

00:07:10.459 --> 00:07:12.519
I'm<00:07:10.939><c> not</c><00:07:11.160><c> easily</c><00:07:11.500><c> embarrassed.</c>

00:07:12.740 --> 00:07:14.540
If<00:07:12.740><c> you</c><00:07:12.879><c> don't</c><00:07:13.160><c> understand</c><00:07:13.560><c> something</c><00:07:13.839><c> that</c><00:07:14.019><c> I've</c><00:07:14.259><c> said</c><00:07:14.399><c> or</c>

00:07:14.540 --> 00:07:16.240
you<00:07:14.779><c> disagree</c><00:07:15.220><c> and</c><00:07:15.699><c> you</c><00:07:15.779><c> want</c><00:07:15.879><c> to</c><00:07:16.000><c> put</c><00:07:16.100><c> your</c>

00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:20.660
hand<00:07:16.360><c> up</c><00:07:16.579><c> and</c><00:07:16.720><c> just</c><00:07:16.980><c> make</c><00:07:17.240><c> a</c><00:07:17.439><c> comment</c><00:07:17.720><c> or</c><00:07:18.399><c> argue</c><00:07:18.899><c> a</c><00:07:19.100><c> point,</c><00:07:19.800><c> please</c><00:07:20.019><c> just</c><00:07:20.319><c> do</c><00:07:20.459><c> so.</c>

00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.720
You'll<00:07:20.879><c> just</c><00:07:21.060><c> have</c><00:07:21.199><c> to</c><00:07:21.300><c> come</c><00:07:21.480><c> here</c><00:07:21.740><c> and</c><00:07:21.939><c> stand</c><00:07:22.120><c> here</c><00:07:22.319><c> with</c><00:07:22.500><c> me,</c>

00:07:22.740 --> 00:07:27.680
and<00:07:22.879><c> we'll</c><00:07:26.240><c> discuss</c><00:07:26.600><c> it</c><00:07:26.819><c> together.</c>

00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.220
That<00:07:28.160><c> generally</c><00:07:28.579><c> puts</c><00:07:28.819><c> people</c><00:07:29.120><c> off.</c>

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:33.100
Not<00:07:32.720><c> always.</c>

00:07:33.139 --> 00:07:36.220
It's<00:07:33.439><c> backfired</c><00:07:33.819><c> on</c><00:07:33.980><c> me</c><00:07:34.139><c> before</c><00:07:34.399><c> now,</c><00:07:34.860><c> but</c><00:07:35.459><c> generally</c><00:07:36.000><c> puts</c>

00:07:36.220 --> 00:07:37.360
people<00:07:36.519><c> off.</c>

00:07:37.459 --> 00:07:39.139
And<00:07:37.860><c> then</c><00:07:38.019><c> they</c><00:07:38.220><c> think,</c><00:07:38.439><c> he's</c><00:07:38.600><c> a</c><00:07:38.740><c> fair</c><00:07:38.860><c> guy.</c>

00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:41.540
He<00:07:39.480><c> doesn't</c><00:07:39.720><c> mind</c><00:07:39.959><c> discussion</c><00:07:40.439><c> or</c><00:07:40.639><c> questions.</c>

00:07:44.660 --> 00:07:48.019
So,<00:07:45.060><c> we</c><00:07:45.459><c> come</c><00:07:45.699><c> to</c><00:07:45.860><c> Elijah,</c><00:07:46.279><c> and</c><00:07:46.459><c> he</c><00:07:46.560><c> bursts</c><00:07:46.819><c> on</c><00:07:47.060><c> the</c><00:07:47.240><c> scene</c><00:07:47.439><c> in</c>

00:07:48.019 --> 00:07:50.319
the<00:07:48.399><c> chapter</c><00:07:48.680><c> that</c><00:07:48.939><c> Brother</c><00:07:49.160><c> Kevin</c><00:07:49.500><c> has</c>

00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:52.339
read<00:07:50.500><c> very</c><00:07:50.800><c> well</c><00:07:50.899><c> for</c><00:07:51.100><c> us,</c><00:07:51.300><c> I</c><00:07:51.439><c> thought,</c><00:07:51.759><c> in</c><00:07:51.959><c> the</c><00:07:52.019><c> first</c><00:07:52.160><c> book</c>

00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:55.060
This<00:07:54.040><c> is</c><00:07:54.199><c> a</c><00:07:54.279><c> Bible</c><00:07:54.480><c> study</c><00:07:54.740><c> weekend.</c>

00:07:55.180 --> 00:07:57.300
We<00:07:55.220><c> need</c><00:07:55.420><c> our</c><00:07:55.600><c> Bibles</c><00:07:55.779><c> open,</c><00:07:56.180><c> so</c><00:07:56.300><c> we're</c><00:07:56.540><c> going</c><00:07:56.540><c> to</c><00:07:56.720><c> open</c><00:07:56.839><c> them</c><00:07:57.060><c> there.</c>

00:07:57.579 --> 00:08:00.759
We<00:07:57.699><c> shall</c><00:07:57.839><c> go</c><00:07:58.100><c> from</c><00:07:58.560><c> there</c><00:07:58.860><c> to</c><00:07:59.060><c> other</c><00:07:59.300><c> places,</c><00:08:00.259><c> principally</c>

00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:02.620
maybe<00:08:01.079><c> to</c><00:08:01.199><c> the</c><00:08:01.259><c> book</c><00:08:01.420><c> of</c><00:08:01.600><c> Judges</c><00:08:01.839><c> if</c><00:08:02.019><c> we</c><00:08:02.120><c> have</c><00:08:02.319><c> time,</c>

00:08:02.620 --> 00:08:06.300
Deuteronomy<00:08:03.100><c> if</c><00:08:03.300><c> time</c><00:08:03.480><c> allows,</c><00:08:04.379><c> and</c><00:08:04.660><c> we'll</c><00:08:05.180><c> see</c><00:08:05.680><c> where</c><00:08:06.199><c> it</c>

00:08:06.300 --> 00:08:07.560
brings<00:08:06.620><c> us.</c>

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.860
So,<00:08:08.160><c> the</c><00:08:08.319><c> first</c><00:08:08.500><c> talk</c><00:08:08.699><c> is</c><00:08:08.899><c> entitled,</c><00:08:09.839><c> Has</c><00:08:09.920><c> It</c><00:08:10.120><c> Happened</c><00:08:10.379><c> Before?</c>

00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:15.740
And<00:08:11.360><c> I</c><00:08:11.579><c> suggest</c><00:08:11.939><c> to</c><00:08:12.279><c> you</c><00:08:12.639><c> that</c><00:08:13.019><c> this</c><00:08:13.420><c> was</c><00:08:13.800><c> Elijah's</c><00:08:14.699><c> benchmark.</c>

00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.379
It<00:08:16.579><c> is</c><00:08:16.879><c> this</c><00:08:17.160><c> that</c><00:08:17.439><c> gave</c><00:08:17.660><c> him</c><00:08:17.899><c> his</c><00:08:18.220><c> faith.</c>

00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:20.699
He's<00:08:18.959><c> a</c><00:08:19.019><c> man</c><00:08:19.160><c> of</c><00:08:19.379><c> outstanding</c><00:08:20.279><c> faith.</c>

00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.579
Oops,<00:08:21.199><c> that's</c><00:08:22.480><c> only</c><00:08:22.699><c> the</c><00:08:22.899><c> light.</c>

00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:24.779
It's<00:08:24.459><c> that</c><00:08:24.680><c> way.</c>

00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:26.040
You<00:08:24.860><c> don't</c><00:08:25.060><c> have</c><00:08:25.240><c> to</c><00:08:25.379><c> hit.</c>

00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.860
He's<00:08:26.839><c> a</c><00:08:26.920><c> man</c><00:08:27.040><c> of</c><00:08:27.259><c> outstanding</c><00:08:27.959><c> faith.</c>

00:08:29.420 --> 00:08:31.459
I'm<00:08:29.980><c> staggered</c><00:08:30.540><c> by</c><00:08:30.819><c> his</c><00:08:31.180><c> faith.</c>

00:08:31.459 --> 00:08:38.299
See,<00:08:33.440><c> the</c><00:08:33.440><c> areas</c><00:08:34.080><c> of</c><00:08:34.519><c> scripture</c><00:08:35.000><c> are</c><00:08:36.440><c> miraculous</c><00:08:37.000><c> happenings.</c>

00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.940
There's<00:08:39.240><c> the</c><00:08:39.700><c> opening</c><00:08:39.980><c> of</c><00:08:40.179><c> the</c><00:08:40.299><c> Word</c><00:08:40.419><c> of</c><00:08:40.620><c> God</c><00:08:40.820><c> where</c><00:08:41.539><c> miracle</c>

00:08:41.940 --> 00:08:44.500
upon<00:08:42.179><c> miracle</c><00:08:42.559><c> took</c><00:08:42.799><c> place</c><00:08:43.299><c> at</c><00:08:43.620><c> the</c><00:08:43.700><c> time</c><00:08:43.840><c> of</c><00:08:44.039><c> creation.</c>

00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.659
And<00:08:45.259><c> then</c><00:08:45.379><c> there's</c><00:08:45.620><c> miracles</c><00:08:46.000><c> in</c><00:08:46.179><c> the</c><00:08:46.340><c> time</c><00:08:46.480><c> of</c><00:08:46.740><c> Moses.</c>

00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.879
Now,<00:08:47.879><c> the</c><00:08:48.059><c> next</c><00:08:48.440><c> great</c><00:08:48.919><c> burst</c><00:08:49.220><c> of</c><00:08:49.460><c> miraculous</c><00:08:49.899><c> activity</c><00:08:50.360><c> is</c>

00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:52.659
around<00:08:51.139><c> Elijah</c><00:08:51.580><c> and</c><00:08:52.100><c> Elisha.</c>

00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:56.659
But<00:08:53.320><c> we're</c><00:08:53.419><c> just</c><00:08:53.600><c> going</c><00:08:53.740><c> to</c><00:08:53.899><c> put</c><00:08:54.139><c> him</c><00:08:54.399><c> under</c><00:08:54.720><c> the</c><00:08:54.919><c> spotlight</c><00:08:55.220><c> for</c><00:08:55.460><c> the</c><00:08:55.639><c> moment</c><00:08:55.919><c> and</c><00:08:56.299><c> ask</c><00:08:56.500><c> a</c>

00:08:56.659 --> 00:08:58.100
few<00:08:56.820><c> questions</c><00:08:57.299><c> about</c><00:08:57.559><c> his</c><00:08:57.899><c> faith.</c>

00:08:58.100 --> 00:09:00.820
It<00:08:58.519><c> is</c><00:08:59.379><c> astounding.</c>

00:09:01.659 --> 00:09:02.899
He<00:09:01.840><c> comes</c><00:09:02.100><c> to</c><00:09:02.360><c> Ahab.</c>

00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:06.299
Now,<00:09:04.860><c> today</c><00:09:05.159><c> we're</c><00:09:05.340><c> going</c><00:09:05.419><c> to</c><00:09:05.500><c> use</c><00:09:05.639><c> our</c><00:09:05.860><c> imagination.</c>

00:09:06.659 --> 00:09:07.399
We<00:09:06.919><c> really</c><00:09:07.259><c> are.</c>

00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:08.720
I<00:09:07.679><c> will</c><00:09:07.840><c> ask</c><00:09:07.980><c> you</c><00:09:08.120><c> to</c><00:09:08.279><c> do</c><00:09:08.460><c> that.</c>

00:09:08.940 --> 00:09:13.120
I<00:09:09.080><c> believe</c><00:09:09.340><c> that</c><00:09:09.759><c> we</c><00:09:10.360><c> enjoy</c><00:09:10.720><c> the</c><00:09:10.899><c> Word</c><00:09:11.080><c> of</c><00:09:11.220><c> God</c><00:09:11.460><c> more</c><00:09:11.779><c> if</c><00:09:11.980><c> we</c><00:09:12.240><c> do.</c>

00:09:13.259 --> 00:09:16.460
I<00:09:13.639><c> also</c><00:09:14.080><c> have</c><00:09:14.860><c> a</c><00:09:15.679><c> saying.</c>

00:09:17.700 --> 00:09:20.860
All<00:09:18.200><c> too</c><00:09:18.379><c> often</c><00:09:18.600><c> in</c><00:09:18.779><c> our</c><00:09:18.960><c> community,</c><00:09:20.000><c> we</c><00:09:20.139><c> know</c><00:09:20.340><c> the</c><00:09:20.460><c> Word</c><00:09:20.679><c> of</c>

00:09:20.860 --> 00:09:22.500
God<00:09:21.159><c> so</c><00:09:21.620><c> well,</c>

00:09:22.580 --> 00:09:25.639
we<00:09:22.659><c> let</c><00:09:22.899><c> familiarity</c><00:09:23.659><c> do</c><00:09:24.019><c> duty</c><00:09:24.320><c> for</c><00:09:24.620><c> comprehension.</c>

00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.720
Now,<00:09:26.759><c> you</c><00:09:26.799><c> ponder</c><00:09:27.100><c> that.</c>

00:09:29.980 --> 00:09:35.340
And<00:09:30.299><c> if</c><00:09:30.720><c> you</c><00:09:30.840><c> know</c><00:09:31.019><c> the</c><00:09:31.100><c> Word</c><00:09:31.299><c> of</c><00:09:31.500><c> God</c><00:09:31.659><c> well</c><00:09:32.200><c> and</c><00:09:32.840><c> you're</c><00:09:34.039><c> reading</c><00:09:34.320><c> it,</c>

00:09:35.379 --> 00:09:37.799
read<00:09:35.740><c> it</c><00:09:35.940><c> twice,</c><00:09:36.240><c> read</c><00:09:36.419><c> that</c><00:09:36.620><c> passage</c><00:09:36.899><c> of</c><00:09:37.100><c> scripture</c><00:09:37.320><c> twice.</c>

00:09:38.019 --> 00:09:40.200
Try<00:09:38.379><c> and</c><00:09:38.519><c> get</c><00:09:38.679><c> it</c><00:09:38.840><c> in</c><00:09:39.019><c> and</c><00:09:39.320><c> think</c><00:09:39.659><c> about</c><00:09:39.940><c> it.</c>

00:09:40.379 --> 00:09:42.840
And<00:09:40.620><c> don't</c><00:09:40.799><c> worry</c><00:09:41.039><c> about</c><00:09:41.259><c> using</c><00:09:41.580><c> your</c><00:09:41.820><c> imagination.</c>

00:09:43.019 --> 00:09:44.940
The<00:09:43.500><c> story</c><00:09:43.779><c> will</c><00:09:44.240><c> jump</c><00:09:44.440><c> off</c><00:09:44.659><c> the</c><00:09:44.799><c> page.</c>

00:09:45.019 --> 00:09:50.039
You<00:09:45.100><c> see,</c><00:09:45.460><c> I'm</c><00:09:45.679><c> going</c><00:09:45.879><c> to</c><00:09:46.159><c> propose</c><00:09:46.620><c> to</c><00:09:46.820><c> you</c><00:09:47.019><c> today</c><00:09:47.519><c> that</c><00:09:49.179><c> Elijah</c><00:09:49.639><c> was</c><00:09:49.919><c> a</c>

00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:51.279
manic<00:09:50.240><c> depressive.</c>

00:09:52.139 --> 00:09:53.679
Now,<00:09:52.620><c> don't</c><00:09:53.100><c> misunderstand</c><00:09:53.519><c> me.</c>

00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.000
I'm<00:09:53.740><c> not</c><00:09:53.960><c> criticizing</c><00:09:54.500><c> the</c><00:09:54.740><c> man.</c>

00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:57.399
People<00:09:55.659><c> cannot</c><00:09:56.059><c> help</c><00:09:56.360><c> depression.</c>

00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:01.820
It's<00:09:58.120><c> a</c><00:09:58.200><c> chemical</c><00:09:58.419><c> in</c><00:09:58.600><c> the</c><00:09:58.759><c> brain</c><00:09:59.139><c> over</c><00:09:59.539><c> which</c><00:10:00.120><c> medicine</c><00:10:00.940><c> today</c><00:10:01.279><c> can</c><00:10:01.519><c> help.</c>

00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.259
But<00:10:02.299><c> in</c><00:10:02.559><c> these</c><00:10:02.759><c> days,</c><00:10:03.080><c> it</c><00:10:03.519><c> couldn't.</c>

00:10:04.340 --> 00:10:05.340
There<00:10:04.419><c> was</c><00:10:04.620><c> nothing</c><00:10:04.840><c> to</c><00:10:05.039><c> help</c><00:10:05.179><c> him.</c>

00:10:05.500 --> 00:10:06.860
I<00:10:05.679><c> suggest</c><00:10:05.960><c> he's</c><00:10:06.179><c> a</c><00:10:06.259><c> manic</c><00:10:06.460><c> depressive.</c>

00:10:06.940 --> 00:10:09.419
And<00:10:07.039><c> the</c><00:10:07.139><c> reason</c><00:10:07.299><c> why</c><00:10:07.500><c> I</c><00:10:07.720><c> say</c><00:10:07.840><c> that</c><00:10:08.179><c> is</c><00:10:08.519><c> one</c><00:10:08.840><c> minute</c><00:10:09.019><c> he's</c><00:10:09.220><c> up</c>

00:10:09.419 --> 00:10:11.200
there<00:10:09.799><c> and</c><00:10:10.080><c> the</c><00:10:10.159><c> next</c><00:10:10.340><c> one</c><00:10:10.460><c> is</c><00:10:10.639><c> down</c><00:10:10.960><c> there.</c>

00:10:11.419 --> 00:10:15.720
Thank<00:10:11.700><c> God</c><00:10:11.960><c> he</c><00:10:12.179><c> is,</c><00:10:12.700><c> because</c><00:10:12.980><c> that's</c><00:10:13.399><c> just</c><00:10:13.659><c> like</c><00:10:13.879><c> you</c><00:10:14.059><c> and</c><00:10:14.220><c> me,</c><00:10:14.600><c> perhaps.</c>

00:10:17.299 --> 00:10:21.620
So<00:10:17.779><c> the</c><00:10:18.259><c> benchmark</c><00:10:18.860><c> for</c><00:10:19.519><c> Elijah</c><00:10:19.980><c> is</c><00:10:20.519><c> has</c><00:10:20.740><c> it</c><00:10:20.980><c> happened</c><00:10:21.200><c> before?</c>

00:10:21.620 --> 00:10:26.019
He<00:10:21.980><c> was</c><00:10:22.159><c> a</c><00:10:22.299><c> man</c><00:10:22.519><c> who</c><00:10:22.720><c> was</c><00:10:23.879><c> devoted</c><00:10:24.379><c> to</c><00:10:24.620><c> the</c><00:10:24.759><c> Word</c><00:10:24.899><c> of</c><00:10:25.100><c> God.</c>

00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:28.759
And<00:10:26.519><c> I</c><00:10:26.700><c> suggest</c><00:10:27.059><c> to</c><00:10:27.320><c> you</c><00:10:27.440><c> that</c><00:10:27.639><c> his</c><00:10:27.799><c> argument</c><00:10:28.200><c> was</c><00:10:28.500><c> this.</c>

00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:32.820
If<00:10:29.200><c> it's</c><00:10:29.519><c> happened</c><00:10:29.740><c> before,</c><00:10:31.039><c> it</c><00:10:31.299><c> can</c><00:10:31.519><c> happen</c><00:10:31.759><c> again.</c>

00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:39.559
Now,<00:10:35.460><c> let's</c><00:10:35.820><c> just</c><00:10:36.000><c> throw</c><00:10:36.159><c> that</c><00:10:36.500><c> open</c><00:10:37.100><c> for</c><00:10:37.720><c> our</c><00:10:38.159><c> mind</c><00:10:38.320><c> to</c><00:10:38.580><c> think</c><00:10:38.759><c> about.</c>

00:10:40.139 --> 00:10:44.440
When<00:10:40.379><c> was</c><00:10:40.639><c> the</c><00:10:40.960><c> time</c><00:10:41.340><c> previous</c><00:10:41.899><c> to</c><00:10:42.220><c> Elijah</c><00:10:42.759><c> that</c><00:10:43.980><c> a</c><00:10:44.179><c> prophet</c>

00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:45.700
raised<00:10:44.779><c> the</c><00:10:45.000><c> dead?</c>

00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:54.100
We'll<00:10:46.639><c> come</c><00:10:46.759><c> to</c><00:10:46.879><c> it</c><00:10:47.039><c> shortly</c><00:10:47.419><c> where</c><00:10:48.080><c> the</c><00:10:48.240><c> boy</c><00:10:48.519><c> is</c><00:10:49.200><c> dead</c><00:10:49.419><c> in</c><00:10:49.659><c> Zarephath</c><00:10:50.559><c> and</c>

00:10:54.100 --> 00:10:55.419
Elijah<00:10:54.519><c> raises</c><00:10:54.820><c> him</c><00:10:55.000><c> from</c><00:10:55.179><c> the</c><00:10:55.279><c> dead.</c>

00:10:55.799 --> 00:11:00.279
Now,<00:10:56.440><c> which</c><00:10:56.600><c> prophet</c><00:10:57.120><c> raised</c><00:10:58.000><c> the</c><00:10:58.299><c> dead</c><00:10:58.700><c> before</c><00:10:59.399><c> Elijah?</c>

00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:01.980
Think<00:11:00.899><c> hard.</c>

00:11:04.059 --> 00:11:05.159
And<00:11:04.259><c> the</c><00:11:04.340><c> answer</c><00:11:04.539><c> is</c><00:11:04.700><c> the</c><00:11:04.799><c> one</c><00:11:04.899><c> and</c><00:11:05.000><c> one.</c>

00:11:05.500 --> 00:11:07.500
That's<00:11:05.740><c> why</c><00:11:05.899><c> you</c><00:11:06.039><c> can't</c><00:11:06.320><c> think</c><00:11:06.519><c> of</c><00:11:06.600><c> him.</c>

00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:09.840
But<00:11:07.960><c> it</c><00:11:08.200><c> had</c><00:11:08.440><c> happened</c><00:11:08.759><c> before.</c>

00:11:09.899 --> 00:11:12.379
And<00:11:10.080><c> so</c><00:11:10.240><c> Elijah,</c><00:11:10.759><c> knowing</c><00:11:11.179><c> that</c><00:11:11.360><c> it</c><00:11:11.500><c> had</c><00:11:11.659><c> happened</c><00:11:11.899><c> before,</c>

00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.360
said<00:11:12.740><c> it</c><00:11:12.940><c> happened</c><00:11:13.179><c> before</c><00:11:13.460><c> so</c><00:11:13.580><c> it</c><00:11:13.700><c> can</c><00:11:13.860><c> happen</c><00:11:14.059><c> again.</c>

00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:18.539
And<00:11:14.779><c> he</c><00:11:15.019><c> did</c><00:11:15.259><c> with</c><00:11:15.440><c> that</c><00:11:15.779><c> boy</c><00:11:16.059><c> exactly</c><00:11:16.879><c> what</c><00:11:17.220><c> God</c><00:11:17.480><c> did</c><00:11:17.700><c> with</c><00:11:18.000><c> Adam</c><00:11:18.259><c> in</c>

00:11:18.539 --> 00:11:19.259
the<00:11:18.679><c> garden</c><00:11:18.899><c> in</c><00:11:19.120><c> Eden.</c>

00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:21.759
He<00:11:19.700><c> worked</c><00:11:19.860><c> it</c><00:11:20.039><c> out.</c><00:11:20.860><c> It's</c><00:11:21.299><c> identical.</c>

00:11:22.179 --> 00:11:24.480
There<00:11:22.460><c> is</c><00:11:22.659><c> Adam</c><00:11:22.919><c> lying</c><00:11:23.299><c> perfectly</c><00:11:24.080><c> formed.</c>

00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:27.679
He<00:11:24.779><c> got</c><00:11:24.940><c> his</c><00:11:25.220><c> toenails,</c><00:11:25.879><c> he</c><00:11:25.960><c> got</c><00:11:26.139><c> his</c><00:11:26.360><c> hand</c><00:11:26.600><c> nails,</c><00:11:26.980><c> he</c><00:11:27.100><c> got</c><00:11:27.320><c> blood</c><00:11:27.539><c> in</c>

00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:28.120
his<00:11:27.899><c> veins.</c>

00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.220
His<00:11:28.419><c> chest</c><00:11:28.639><c> wasn't</c><00:11:28.919><c> rising</c><00:11:29.220><c> and</c><00:11:29.460><c> falling.</c>

00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.340
And<00:11:31.100><c> so</c><00:11:31.259><c> the</c><00:11:31.440><c> angel</c><00:11:31.759><c> breathed</c><00:11:32.279><c> into</c><00:11:32.519><c> him</c><00:11:32.679><c> the</c><00:11:32.799><c> breath</c><00:11:32.940><c> of</c><00:11:33.139><c> life</c>

00:11:33.340 --> 00:11:35.240
and<00:11:33.580><c> man</c><00:11:33.759><c> became</c><00:11:34.059><c> a</c><00:11:34.179><c> living</c><00:11:34.379><c> soul.</c>

00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:37.940
And<00:11:35.879><c> Elijah</c><00:11:36.159><c> knew</c><00:11:36.379><c> this</c><00:11:36.799><c> and</c><00:11:37.100><c> he</c><00:11:37.240><c> said,</c><00:11:37.460><c> look</c><00:11:37.480><c> at</c><00:11:37.580><c> this</c><00:11:37.759><c> boy.</c>

00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.600
He's<00:11:38.519><c> perfectly</c><00:11:38.940><c> formed,</c><00:11:39.480><c> but</c><00:11:39.620><c> he's</c><00:11:39.759><c> dead.</c>

00:11:41.179 --> 00:11:45.580
And<00:11:41.659><c> he</c><00:11:41.879><c> breathed</c><00:11:42.240><c> into</c><00:11:42.460><c> his</c><00:11:42.679><c> nostrils</c><00:11:43.360><c> breath</c><00:11:44.139><c> and</c><00:11:44.960><c> his</c><00:11:45.299><c> soul</c>

00:11:45.580 --> 00:11:47.759
came<00:11:45.960><c> to</c><00:11:46.139><c> him</c><00:11:46.340><c> again.</c>

00:11:48.100 --> 00:11:52.679
Now,<00:11:48.480><c> you</c><00:11:48.639><c> just</c><00:11:49.080><c> ponder,</c><00:11:49.639><c> if</c><00:11:49.639><c> you</c><00:11:49.740><c> will,</c><00:11:50.360><c> the</c><00:11:50.480><c> staggering</c><00:11:50.879><c> implications</c><00:11:51.600><c> of</c><00:11:51.840><c> that.</c>

00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:58.159
This<00:11:53.120><c> man's</c><00:11:53.740><c> faith,</c><00:11:55.500><c> it's</c><00:11:56.740><c> outstanding.</c>

00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:04.320
Now,<00:11:59.919><c> he</c><00:12:00.059><c> comes</c><00:12:00.299><c> to</c><00:12:00.539><c> Ahab</c><00:12:01.299><c> and</c><00:12:02.740><c> he</c><00:12:02.860><c> says,</c><00:12:03.200><c> thus</c><00:12:03.259><c> saith</c><00:12:03.440><c> the</c><00:12:03.620><c> Lord,</c><00:12:03.840><c> I'm</c>

00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:05.879
a<00:12:04.480><c> servant</c><00:12:04.639><c> of</c><00:12:04.820><c> God</c><00:12:04.919><c> before</c><00:12:05.279><c> whom</c><00:12:05.460><c> I</c><00:12:05.700><c> stand.</c>

00:12:05.980 --> 00:12:07.220
It's<00:12:06.340><c> a</c><00:12:06.519><c> lovely</c><00:12:06.899><c> comment.</c>

00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:08.240
Do<00:12:07.559><c> you</c><00:12:07.559><c> know</c><00:12:07.639><c> what</c><00:12:07.700><c> it</c><00:12:07.860><c> means?</c>

00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:13.980
It<00:12:09.080><c> means</c><00:12:09.460><c> I</c><00:12:09.679><c> am</c><00:12:10.019><c> God's</c><00:12:10.679><c> servant</c><00:12:10.960><c> and</c><00:12:11.840><c> I</c><00:12:12.399><c> worship</c><00:12:12.980><c> him</c><00:12:13.440><c> and</c><00:12:13.620><c> I</c>

00:12:13.980 --> 00:12:14.620
serve<00:12:14.159><c> him</c>

00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:18.580
and<00:12:14.820><c> I</c><00:12:15.519><c> give</c><00:12:15.740><c> my</c><00:12:16.039><c> allegiance</c><00:12:16.379><c> to</c><00:12:16.679><c> nobody</c><00:12:17.000><c> but</c><00:12:17.440><c> him.</c>

00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:24.059
I'm<00:12:18.960><c> owned</c><00:12:19.159><c> by</c><00:12:19.580><c> one</c><00:12:20.740><c> unity</c><00:12:22.240><c> and</c><00:12:22.620><c> that's</c><00:12:23.019><c> God.</c>

00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:27.759
Now,<00:12:25.659><c> hear</c><00:12:25.820><c> this,</c><00:12:26.039><c> it</c><00:12:26.120><c> isn't</c><00:12:26.340><c> going</c><00:12:26.519><c> to</c><00:12:26.720><c> rain.</c>

00:12:27.940 --> 00:12:31.379
There<00:12:28.039><c> won't</c><00:12:28.179><c> even</c><00:12:28.360><c> be</c><00:12:28.519><c> any</c><00:12:28.820><c> dew</c><00:12:29.139><c> until</c><00:12:30.059><c> I</c><00:12:30.279><c> say</c><00:12:30.480><c> so.</c>

00:12:32.059 --> 00:12:33.639
What<00:12:32.360><c> a</c><00:12:32.860><c> staggering</c><00:12:33.299><c> thing.</c>

00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:36.899
Now,<00:12:34.779><c> if</c><00:12:34.840><c> I</c><00:12:35.059><c> had</c><00:12:35.179><c> been</c><00:12:35.440><c> bold</c><00:12:35.700><c> enough</c><00:12:35.919><c> to</c><00:12:36.120><c> come</c><00:12:36.299><c> to</c><00:12:36.500><c> the</c><00:12:36.679><c> ruler</c>

00:12:38.019 --> 00:12:39.600
I<00:12:38.179><c> might</c><00:12:38.340><c> have</c><00:12:38.460><c> said</c><00:12:38.639><c> something</c><00:12:38.919><c> like</c><00:12:39.179><c> this,</c><00:12:39.259><c> you</c><00:12:39.360><c> ought</c><00:12:39.500><c> to</c>

00:12:40.379 --> 00:12:42.779
I've<00:12:40.720><c> prayed</c><00:12:40.980><c> that</c><00:12:41.200><c> because</c><00:12:41.399><c> he</c><00:12:41.600><c> had,</c><00:12:41.740><c> James</c><00:12:42.019><c> tells</c><00:12:42.240><c> us</c><00:12:42.440><c> that,</c>

King's<00:12:43.379><c> doesn't,</c>

00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:50.480
I<00:12:48.879><c> think</c><00:12:49.000><c> I</c><00:12:49.179><c> would</c><00:12:49.299><c> have</c><00:12:49.419><c> said,</c><00:12:49.600><c> you</c><00:12:49.679><c> ought</c><00:12:49.879><c> to</c><00:12:50.000><c> hear</c><00:12:50.100><c> this.</c>

00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:53.799
I've<00:12:51.259><c> prayed</c><00:12:51.399><c> to</c><00:12:51.659><c> God</c><00:12:51.740><c> that</c><00:12:51.879><c> it</c><00:12:52.000><c> won't</c><00:12:52.179><c> rain</c><00:12:52.399><c> on</c><00:12:52.580><c> this</c><00:12:53.200><c> community.</c>

00:12:57.940 --> 00:13:01.700
He<00:12:58.240><c> said,</c><00:12:58.500><c> it</c><00:12:58.500><c> won't</c><00:12:58.779><c> rain</c><00:12:59.259><c> because</c><00:13:00.480><c> I've</c><00:13:00.820><c> prayed</c><00:13:00.980><c> about</c><00:13:01.259><c> it.</c>

00:13:23.259 --> 00:13:25.120
I<00:13:23.440><c> wonder</c><00:13:23.500><c> why</c><00:13:23.679><c> he</c><00:13:23.860><c> said</c><00:13:23.980><c> that.</c>

00:15:13.700 --> 00:15:16.899
Maybe<00:15:14.220><c> we</c><00:15:14.639><c> need</c><00:15:14.840><c> a</c><00:15:14.940><c> bit</c><00:15:15.019><c> of</c><00:15:15.220><c> the</c><00:15:15.379><c> faith</c><00:15:15.860><c> of</c><00:15:16.179><c> Elijah,</c><00:15:16.539><c> I</c><00:15:16.679><c> hate</c><00:15:16.740><c> to</c>

if<00:31:21.279><c> I</c><00:31:21.559><c> say,</c><00:31:22.359><c> oh,</c><00:31:22.359><c> I'm</c><00:31:22.519><c> terribly</c><00:31:22.920><c> thirsty,</c><00:31:23.839><c> could</c><00:31:23.980><c> I</c><00:31:24.059><c> have</c><00:31:24.160><c> a</c><00:31:24.299><c> drink?</c>

00:31:24.940 --> 00:31:27.539
And<00:31:25.200><c> she</c><00:31:25.420><c> lowers</c><00:31:25.619><c> her</c><00:31:26.460><c> bucket</c><00:31:26.680><c> down</c><00:31:26.920><c> into</c><00:31:27.099><c> the</c><00:31:27.319><c> well</c>

00:31:27.539 --> 00:31:29.900
and<00:31:28.319><c> brings</c><00:31:28.519><c> it</c><00:31:28.640><c> up</c><00:31:28.799><c> and</c><00:31:28.940><c> says,</c><00:31:29.099><c> yes,</c><00:31:29.259><c> there</c><00:31:29.460><c> you</c><00:31:29.680><c> are.</c>

00:31:30.059 --> 00:31:32.279
Oh,<00:31:30.220><c> and</c><00:31:30.359><c> I'll</c><00:31:30.579><c> feed</c><00:31:30.660><c> you,</c><00:31:31.019><c> I'll</c><00:31:31.500><c> water</c><00:31:31.680><c> your</c><00:31:31.880><c> camels</c><00:31:32.059><c> while</c>

00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:32.640
I'm<00:31:32.480><c> on.</c>

00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:34.059
She's<00:31:33.240><c> an</c><00:31:33.400><c> exceptional</c><00:31:33.779><c> girl.</c>

00:31:34.059 --> 00:31:35.920
You<00:31:34.299><c> can</c><00:31:34.539><c> say</c><00:31:34.759><c> that</c><00:31:34.920><c> again.</c>

00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:40.259
10<00:31:37.720><c> camels</c><00:31:38.160><c> putting</c><00:31:38.400><c> away</c><00:31:38.640><c> 40</c><00:31:39.000><c> gallons</c><00:31:39.279><c> each.</c>

00:31:40.339 --> 00:31:42.019
You've<00:31:40.519><c> got</c><00:31:40.519><c> to</c><00:31:40.640><c> run</c><00:31:40.779><c> down</c><00:31:41.000><c> the</c><00:31:41.200><c> steps.</c>

00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:42.859
And<00:31:42.160><c> she</c><00:31:42.359><c> ran.</c>

00:31:43.180 --> 00:31:46.559
Genesis<00:31:43.619><c> chapter</c><00:31:43.980><c> 24,</c><00:31:44.700><c> she</c><00:31:44.940><c> ran</c><00:31:45.259><c> to</c><00:31:45.500><c> do</c><00:31:45.660><c> it.</c>

00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:51.700
I<00:31:49.799><c> love</c><00:31:50.279><c> that</c><00:31:50.539><c> area</c><00:31:50.720><c> of</c><00:31:50.940><c> scripture.</c>

00:31:52.339 --> 00:31:55.779
I<00:31:52.819><c> can't</c><00:31:53.299><c> wait</c><00:31:53.500><c> to</c><00:31:54.779><c> see</c><00:31:55.299><c> Laban.</c>

00:31:56.099 --> 00:31:57.460
Do<00:31:56.279><c> you</c><00:31:56.319><c> think</c><00:31:56.500><c> of</c><00:31:56.619><c> Laban?</c>

00:31:57.500 --> 00:32:00.519
He's<00:31:57.759><c> a</c><00:31:57.839><c> bit</c><00:31:57.900><c> of</c><00:31:58.079><c> a</c><00:31:58.140><c> strange</c><00:31:58.319><c> man,</c><00:31:58.559><c> Laban,</c><00:31:58.880><c> until</c><00:31:59.019><c> he</c><00:31:59.160><c> sees</c><00:31:59.420><c> the</c>

00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:01.359
earring<00:32:00.819><c> and</c><00:32:00.940><c> the</c><00:32:01.099><c> bracelet.</c>

00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:04.059
Then<00:32:01.559><c> he</c><00:32:01.660><c> says,</c><00:32:01.980><c> come</c><00:32:02.299><c> in,</c><00:32:02.619><c> thou,</c><00:32:02.720><c> blessed</c><00:32:02.960><c> of</c><00:32:03.160><c> the</c><00:32:03.319><c> Lord.</c>

00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:05.440
What<00:32:04.339><c> else</c><00:32:04.539><c> have</c><00:32:04.640><c> you</c><00:32:04.779><c> got?</c>

00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:08.500
Can<00:32:07.660><c> you</c><00:32:07.880><c> see?</c>

00:32:09.299 --> 00:32:10.579
It's<00:32:09.720><c> all</c><00:32:09.940><c> there,</c><00:32:10.220><c> isn't</c><00:32:10.400><c> it?</c>

00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:12.539
This<00:32:11.339><c> is</c><00:32:11.500><c> a</c><00:32:11.779><c> little</c><00:32:11.960><c> imaginative.</c>

00:32:12.660 --> 00:32:13.660
I<00:32:12.700><c> realize</c><00:32:13.039><c> that.</c>

00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:16.759
This<00:32:14.700><c> is</c><00:32:15.019><c> the</c><00:32:15.119><c> trick</c><00:32:15.259><c> with</c><00:32:15.460><c> imagination,</c><00:32:16.140><c> brethren</c><00:32:16.259><c> and</c><00:32:16.480><c> sisters.</c>

00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:17.940
Read<00:32:17.400><c> the</c><00:32:17.559><c> word</c><00:32:17.700><c> of</c><00:32:17.859><c> God.</c>

00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:18.759
Don't<00:32:18.180><c> go</c><00:32:18.380><c> outside.</c>

00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:19.819
You<00:32:19.000><c> don't</c><00:32:19.200><c> need</c><00:32:19.500><c> to.</c>

00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:21.240
It's<00:32:20.160><c> all</c><00:32:20.380><c> there.</c>

00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:29.880
And<00:32:23.140><c> so</c><00:32:23.799><c> Elijah</c><00:32:24.160><c> says,</c><00:32:25.039><c> because</c><00:32:26.059><c> it</c><00:32:26.700><c> happened</c><00:32:27.000><c> in</c><00:32:27.500><c> an</c><00:32:27.619><c> incredible</c><00:32:28.440><c> way</c>

00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:32.640
to<00:32:31.119><c> Eliezer,</c><00:32:31.619><c> it</c><00:32:31.839><c> can</c><00:32:32.019><c> happen</c><00:32:32.200><c> to</c><00:32:32.400><c> me.</c>

00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:37.400
So<00:32:33.000><c> I'll</c><00:32:33.220><c> say</c><00:32:33.380><c> to</c><00:32:33.539><c> this</c><00:32:33.700><c> lady,</c><00:32:36.299><c> how</c><00:32:36.440><c> was</c><00:32:36.579><c> he</c><00:32:36.759><c> supposed</c><00:32:37.079><c> to</c><00:32:37.279><c> find</c>

00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:38.420
the<00:32:37.599><c> lady?</c>

00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:42.339
God<00:32:39.640><c> said,</c><00:32:39.900><c> I've</c><00:32:40.059><c> appointed</c><00:32:40.319><c> a</c><00:32:40.519><c> widow</c><00:32:40.680><c> woman</c><00:32:40.980><c> there</c><00:32:41.240><c> to</c><00:32:41.480><c> sustain</c><00:32:41.819><c> them.</c>

00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:43.220
What's<00:32:43.000><c> she</c><00:32:43.059><c> do?</c>

00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:45.119
Got<00:32:43.400><c> to</c><00:32:43.500><c> do</c><00:32:43.619><c> some</c><00:32:43.859><c> coal</c><00:32:44.099><c> canvassing?</c>

00:32:45.619 --> 00:32:46.000
Good<00:32:45.759><c> morning.</c>

00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:47.740
I've<00:32:46.339><c> just</c><00:32:46.480><c> come</c><00:32:46.619><c> up</c><00:32:46.779><c> from</c><00:32:47.240><c> Israel.</c>

00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:49.700
I<00:32:48.160><c> just</c><00:32:48.299><c> wonder</c><00:32:48.460><c> if</c><00:32:48.599><c> you're</c><00:32:48.799><c> a</c><00:32:48.920><c> widow.</c>

00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:50.839
No.

00:32:51.180 --> 00:32:52.579
Try<00:32:51.539><c> next</c><00:32:51.779><c> door.</c>

00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:53.039
Good<00:32:52.779><c> morning.</c>

00:32:53.180 --> 00:32:54.079

00:32:54.180 --> 00:32:54.660
Are<00:32:54.319><c> you</c><00:32:54.440><c> a</c><00:32:54.519><c> widow?</c>

00:32:54.740 --> 00:32:55.220
Yes,<00:32:54.940><c> I</c><00:32:55.099><c> am.</c>

00:32:55.420 --> 00:32:56.200
Oh,<00:32:55.599><c> how</c><00:32:55.880><c> do</c><00:32:56.039><c> I?</c>

00:32:56.359 --> 00:32:57.500
There's<00:32:56.519><c> a</c><00:32:56.619><c> God</c><00:32:56.759><c> spoken</c><00:32:57.079><c> to</c><00:32:57.339><c> you.</c>

00:32:57.500 --> 00:32:58.500
I<00:32:57.680><c> don't</c><00:32:57.680><c> know</c><00:32:57.740><c> who</c><00:32:57.859><c> you're</c><00:32:57.960><c> talking</c><00:32:58.220><c> about.</c>

00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:00.680
What's<00:32:59.200><c> he</c><00:32:59.359><c> supposed</c><00:32:59.680><c> to</c><00:32:59.880><c> do?</c>

00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:04.539
Thank<00:33:03.599><c> you.</c>

00:33:05.539 --> 00:33:08.759
And<00:33:05.980><c> so</c><00:33:06.140><c> he</c><00:33:06.339><c> does</c><00:33:06.960><c> what</c><00:33:07.240><c> Eliezer</c><00:33:07.740><c> did.</c>

00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:10.519
And<00:33:09.220><c> he</c><00:33:09.279><c> puts</c><00:33:09.519><c> God</c><00:33:09.700><c> to</c><00:33:09.880><c> the</c><00:33:10.079><c> test.</c>

00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:11.839
And<00:33:11.059><c> he</c><00:33:11.119><c> says,</c><00:33:11.400><c> I'll</c><00:33:11.539><c> wait</c><00:33:11.700><c> here.</c>

00:33:11.859 --> 00:33:14.640
And<00:33:11.940><c> when</c><00:33:12.019><c> a</c><00:33:12.160><c> woman</c><00:33:12.319><c> comes</c><00:33:12.660><c> past,</c><00:33:13.019><c> I'll</c><00:33:13.140><c> say,</c><00:33:14.380><c> would</c><00:33:14.480><c> you</c><00:33:14.559><c> give</c>

00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:18.779
There's<00:33:16.940><c> been</c><00:33:17.160><c> a</c><00:33:17.440><c> drought</c><00:33:17.660><c> for</c><00:33:17.960><c> three</c><00:33:18.299><c> years.</c>

00:33:19.019 --> 00:33:21.599
And<00:33:19.220><c> here's</c><00:33:19.539><c> a</c><00:33:19.759><c> stranger</c><00:33:20.079><c> asking</c><00:33:20.440><c> for</c><00:33:20.700><c> a</c><00:33:20.859><c> drink.</c>

00:33:21.859 --> 00:33:26.059
And<00:33:22.160><c> if</c><00:33:22.319><c> she</c><00:33:22.559><c> says</c><00:33:22.740><c> yes,</c><00:33:23.839><c> and</c><00:33:24.339><c> how</c><00:33:24.599><c> do</c><00:33:24.680><c> you</c><00:33:24.779><c> like</c><00:33:24.900><c> a</c><00:33:25.059><c> few</c><00:33:25.259><c> scones?</c>

00:33:26.220 --> 00:33:27.319
Scones,<00:33:26.740><c> do</c><00:33:26.839><c> you</c><00:33:26.960><c> say?</c>

00:33:27.779 --> 00:33:29.839
A<00:33:27.819><c> bit</c><00:33:27.819><c> of</c><00:33:28.319><c> a</c><00:33:28.420><c> piece</c><00:33:28.519><c> of</c><00:33:28.680><c> cake,</c><00:33:28.920><c> would</c><00:33:28.960><c> you?</c>

00:33:30.819 --> 00:33:32.059
Then<00:33:31.299><c> she's</c><00:33:31.779><c> the</c><00:33:31.880><c> woman.</c>

00:33:32.180 --> 00:33:33.380
My,<00:33:32.400><c> she</c><00:33:32.500><c> was</c><00:33:32.660><c> an</c><00:33:32.819><c> exceptional</c><00:33:33.140><c> woman.</c>

00:33:33.500 --> 00:33:34.880

00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:50.420
She's<00:33:48.740><c> conscious</c><00:33:49.119><c> of</c><00:33:49.380><c> her</c><00:33:49.680><c> sin.</c>

00:33:50.819 --> 00:33:54.019
I<00:33:51.059><c> don't</c><00:33:51.259><c> think</c><00:33:51.460><c> it</c><00:33:51.599><c> was</c><00:33:52.279><c> a</c><00:33:52.599><c> sin</c><00:33:52.759><c> that</c><00:33:53.019><c> she's</c><00:33:53.460><c> committing</c><00:33:53.680><c> on</c><00:33:53.940><c> a</c>

00:33:56.619 --> 00:33:59.039
I<00:33:56.619><c> think</c><00:33:56.839><c> she's</c><00:33:57.799><c> out</c><00:33:58.039><c> of</c><00:33:58.200><c> fellowship.</c>

00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:06.900
She's<00:34:00.160><c> married</c><00:34:00.420><c> in</c><00:34:00.720><c> Zarifat,</c><00:34:01.240><c> I</c><00:34:01.359><c> think,</c><00:34:03.599><c> because</c><00:34:03.920><c> God</c><00:34:04.839><c> is</c><00:34:05.920><c> spoken</c><00:34:06.220><c> of</c>

00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:09.619
And<00:34:07.759><c> she</c><00:34:07.960><c> said,</c><00:34:08.400><c> as</c><00:34:08.420><c> the</c><00:34:08.659><c> Lord</c><00:34:08.980><c> thy</c><00:34:09.159><c> God</c><00:34:09.400><c> liveth.</c>

00:34:09.780 --> 00:34:12.039
It's<00:34:10.019><c> the</c><00:34:10.179><c> covenant</c><00:34:10.420><c> name</c><00:34:10.659><c> of</c><00:34:10.840><c> God</c><00:34:10.980><c> she's</c><00:34:11.280><c> using.</c>

00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:17.260
Now<00:34:12.440><c> somebody</c><00:34:12.679><c> in</c><00:34:12.860><c> Zarifat</c><00:34:13.280><c> wouldn't</c><00:34:13.500><c> do</c><00:34:13.760><c> that,</c><00:34:13.940><c> you</c><00:34:14.059><c> see,</c><00:34:15.280><c> unless</c><00:34:15.579><c> they</c><00:34:15.840><c> knew</c><00:34:15.980><c> who</c><00:34:16.159><c> it</c><00:34:16.400><c> was.</c>

00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:19.139
So<00:34:18.139><c> Elijah</c><00:34:18.460><c> says,</c><00:34:18.780><c> don't</c><00:34:18.860><c> worry.</c>

00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:21.400

00:34:23.460 --> 00:34:26.260
God's<00:34:23.940><c> requirements</c><00:34:24.420><c> must</c><00:34:24.699><c> always</c><00:34:24.940><c> come</c><00:34:25.199><c> first.</c>

00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:28.519
And<00:34:26.860><c> this</c><00:34:27.039><c> woman</c><00:34:27.219><c> had</c><00:34:27.420><c> to</c><00:34:27.659><c> learn</c><00:34:27.780><c> it.</c>

00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:30.880
Hungry<00:34:29.139><c> as</c><00:34:29.280><c> she</c><00:34:29.460><c> was,</c><00:34:29.780><c> desperate</c><00:34:30.059><c> as</c><00:34:30.199><c> she</c><00:34:30.320><c> might</c><00:34:30.579><c> have</c><00:34:30.739><c> been</c>

00:34:31.619 --> 00:34:34.039
Elijah<00:34:31.880><c> says,</c><00:34:32.300><c> give</c><00:34:32.360><c> it</c><00:34:32.460><c> to</c><00:34:32.619><c> me</c><00:34:32.780><c> first,</c><00:34:33.239><c> because</c><00:34:33.480><c> I'm</c><00:34:33.739><c> here</c><00:34:33.900><c> as</c>

00:34:36.420 --> 00:34:38.900
And<00:34:36.579><c> when</c><00:34:36.739><c> I've</c><00:34:37.119><c> taken,</c><00:34:37.980><c> you</c><00:34:38.260><c> can</c><00:34:38.679><c> too.</c>

And<00:38:51.079><c> Elijah</c><00:38:51.460><c> says,</c><00:38:51.980><c> I</c><00:38:51.980><c> haven't</c><00:38:52.460><c> troubled</c><00:38:52.719><c> Israel,</c><00:38:53.179><c> but</c><00:38:53.380><c> thou</c>

00:40:58.219 --> 00:40:59.840
Actually,<00:40:58.500><c> I've</c><00:40:58.679><c> read</c><00:40:58.800><c> that.</c><00:40:59.099><c> I</c><00:40:59.340><c> know</c><00:40:59.559><c> that.</c>

00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:01.880
I'm<00:41:00.300><c> asking</c><00:41:00.440><c> you</c><00:41:00.579><c> to</c><00:41:00.679><c> come</c><00:41:00.820><c> with</c><00:41:01.000><c> me</c><00:41:01.139><c> a</c><00:41:01.199><c> little</c><00:41:01.360><c> beyond</c><00:41:01.679><c> that.</c>

00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:05.239
It's<00:41:02.059><c> only</c><00:41:02.260><c> that</c><00:41:02.659><c> much</c><00:41:02.920><c> space</c><00:41:03.219><c> in</c><00:41:03.460><c> history,</c><00:41:04.000><c> about</c><00:41:04.440><c> five</c><00:41:04.760><c> minutes</c><00:41:05.000><c> down</c>

the<00:41:05.400><c> road.</c>

00:41:05.699 --> 00:41:06.800
What<00:41:05.820><c> I</c><00:41:05.920><c> want</c><00:41:06.039><c> to</c><00:41:06.159><c> know</c><00:41:06.239><c> is</c><00:41:06.400><c> this.</c>

00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:10.079
How<00:41:07.420><c> come</c><00:41:07.739><c> after</c><00:41:08.000><c> such</c><00:41:08.219><c> a</c><00:41:08.440><c> relatively</c><00:41:08.880><c> short</c><00:41:09.079><c> period</c><00:41:09.420><c> of</c><00:41:09.679><c> time,</c>

00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:14.920
the<00:41:10.500><c> Israelites</c><00:41:10.800><c> are</c><00:41:11.099><c> teaching</c><00:41:11.380><c> the</c><00:41:12.099><c> Baalites</c><00:41:12.539><c> how</c><00:41:12.739><c> to</c><00:41:12.920><c> do</c><00:41:13.059><c> it?</c>

00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:19.280
God<00:41:15.760><c> says</c><00:41:16.019><c> to</c><00:41:16.159><c> them,</c><00:41:16.559><c> you're</c><00:41:16.639><c> worse</c><00:41:16.860><c> than</c><00:41:17.039><c> the</c><00:41:17.239><c> people</c><00:41:17.420><c> you</c><00:41:17.679><c> dispossessed.</c>

00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:25.219
Why<00:41:20.440><c> was</c><00:41:20.760><c> it</c><00:41:21.239><c> that</c><00:41:21.599><c> a</c><00:41:21.960><c> man</c><00:41:22.559><c> could</c><00:41:23.260><c> offer</c><00:41:23.480><c> his</c><00:41:23.820><c> child</c><00:41:24.539><c> to</c><00:41:24.940><c> Molech</c>

00:41:25.219 --> 00:41:25.840
in<00:41:25.440><c> the</c><00:41:25.619><c> fire?</c>

00:41:25.980 --> 00:41:27.420
Now,<00:41:26.159><c> why</c><00:41:26.340><c> was</c><00:41:26.539><c> that?</c>

00:41:27.539 --> 00:41:29.380
See,<00:41:27.659><c> we</c><00:41:27.760><c> know</c><00:41:27.900><c> all</c><00:41:28.099><c> about</c><00:41:28.340><c> this.</c><00:41:28.659><c> We</c><00:41:28.659><c> don't...</c>

00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:31.400
Well,<00:41:30.420><c> would</c><00:41:30.559><c> you</c><00:41:30.699><c> forgive</c><00:41:30.900><c> me,</c><00:41:31.239><c> please?</c>

00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:33.880
Look,<00:41:31.880><c> when</c><00:41:32.039><c> I</c><00:41:32.219><c> say</c><00:41:32.340><c> we,</c><00:41:32.539><c> I'm</c><00:41:32.719><c> talking</c><00:41:33.000><c> to</c><00:41:33.179><c> me,</c><00:41:33.320><c> not</c><00:41:33.480><c> you.</c>

00:41:33.880 --> 00:41:38.420
But<00:41:34.139><c> I</c><00:41:35.760><c> don't</c><00:41:36.059><c> often</c><00:41:36.519><c> stop</c><00:41:36.840><c> to</c><00:41:37.099><c> think,</c><00:41:37.739><c> why</c><00:41:38.000><c> is</c><00:41:38.260><c> it?</c>

00:41:38.460 --> 00:41:41.900
And<00:41:38.619><c> don't</c><00:41:38.980><c> pass</c><00:41:39.280><c> it</c><00:41:39.500><c> off</c><00:41:39.880><c> by</c><00:41:40.340><c> saying,</c><00:41:40.719><c> of</c><00:41:40.900><c> course,</c><00:41:41.440><c> that</c><00:41:41.599><c> they're</c><00:41:41.780><c> a</c>

00:41:41.900 --> 00:41:43.780
different<00:41:42.139><c> culture</c><00:41:42.539><c> from</c><00:41:42.719><c> us.</c>

00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:46.440
That<00:41:45.000><c> won't</c><00:41:45.440><c> work.</c>

00:41:46.739 --> 00:41:48.659
The<00:41:47.000><c> people</c><00:41:47.219><c> in</c><00:41:47.360><c> the</c><00:41:47.440><c> Middle</c><00:41:47.639><c> East</c><00:41:47.820><c> love</c><00:41:47.980><c> their</c><00:41:48.199><c> children</c><00:41:48.500><c> as</c>

00:41:48.659 --> 00:41:49.579

00:41:49.840 --> 00:41:53.800
When<00:41:49.980><c> you</c><00:41:50.159><c> come</c><00:41:50.360><c> to</c><00:41:50.519><c> black</c><00:41:50.780><c> Africa,</c><00:41:51.340><c> and</c><00:41:51.500><c> I'm</c><00:41:51.619><c> not</c><00:41:51.940><c> denigrating</c><00:41:52.659><c> the</c><00:41:53.559><c> race</c>

00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:54.320
at<00:41:54.059><c> all,</c>

00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:56.980
I'm<00:41:54.659><c> just</c><00:41:54.880><c> telling</c><00:41:55.019><c> you</c><00:41:55.260><c> what</c><00:41:55.579><c> that</c><00:41:56.260><c> civilisation</c><00:41:56.800><c> is.</c>

00:41:57.199 --> 00:41:58.739
I<00:41:57.619><c> speak</c><00:41:57.860><c> with</c><00:41:58.019><c> a</c><00:41:58.139><c> little</c><00:41:58.260><c> experience.</c>

00:41:58.940 --> 00:42:01.320
If<00:41:59.039><c> you</c><00:41:59.119><c> want</c><00:41:59.239><c> to</c><00:41:59.320><c> know</c><00:41:59.400><c> more</c><00:41:59.619><c> about</c><00:41:59.840><c> it,</c><00:41:59.940><c> I'll</c><00:42:00.079><c> tell</c><00:42:00.219><c> you</c><00:42:00.340><c> afterwards.</c>

00:42:02.420 --> 00:42:08.539
In<00:42:03.019><c> West</c><00:42:03.599><c> Africa,</c><00:42:04.260><c> I've</c><00:42:04.440><c> seen</c><00:42:04.840><c> people</c><00:42:05.659><c> lose</c><00:42:06.460><c> a</c><00:42:06.699><c> child</c><00:42:07.059><c> and</c><00:42:07.719><c> weep</c><00:42:08.199><c> and</c>

00:42:08.539 --> 00:42:10.960
howl<00:42:09.360><c> in</c><00:42:09.880><c> great</c><00:42:10.199><c> anguish.</c>

00:42:11.179 --> 00:42:14.159
And<00:42:11.500><c> the</c><00:42:11.599><c> next</c><00:42:11.880><c> day,</c><00:42:12.619><c> they've</c><00:42:12.900><c> forgotten</c><00:42:13.039><c> about</c><00:42:13.320><c> it.</c>

00:42:14.500 --> 00:42:16.320
It<00:42:14.679><c> isn't</c><00:42:14.880><c> like</c><00:42:15.139><c> that</c><00:42:15.260><c> in</c><00:42:15.380><c> the</c><00:42:15.460><c> Middle</c><00:42:15.639><c> East,</c><00:42:15.800><c> and</c><00:42:16.000><c> I</c><00:42:16.079><c> suggest</c>

00:42:16.320 --> 00:42:18.159
to<00:42:16.400><c> you</c><00:42:16.480><c> it</c><00:42:16.480><c> wouldn't</c><00:42:16.659><c> be</c><00:42:16.820><c> like</c><00:42:16.940><c> that</c><00:42:17.039><c> with</c><00:42:17.179><c> us.</c>

00:42:18.460 --> 00:42:26.440
So<00:42:18.800><c> why</c><00:42:19.480><c> was</c><00:42:19.800><c> it</c><00:42:20.599><c> that</c><00:42:21.300><c> a</c><00:42:21.559><c> man</c><00:42:22.199><c> proposing</c><00:42:23.179><c> to</c><00:42:24.400><c> accept</c><00:42:26.119><c> the</c><00:42:26.280><c> law</c>

00:42:26.440 --> 00:42:27.219
of<00:42:26.619><c> God</c>

00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:33.000

00:42:34.019 --> 00:42:36.619
I've<00:42:34.079><c> done</c><00:42:34.500><c> a</c><00:42:34.719><c> little</c><00:42:35.219><c> research.</c>

00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:40.619
The<00:42:37.360><c> god</c><00:42:37.500><c> Molech</c><00:42:37.900><c> was</c><00:42:38.440><c> the</c><00:42:38.539><c> god</c><00:42:38.639><c> of</c><00:42:38.860><c> fire,</c><00:42:39.880><c> as</c><00:42:40.139><c> Baal</c><00:42:40.340><c> was</c><00:42:40.519><c> the</c>

00:42:42.599 --> 00:42:45.679
And<00:42:42.780><c> Dagon</c><00:42:43.079><c> was</c><00:42:43.820><c> the</c><00:42:44.139><c> fish</c><00:42:44.400><c> god</c><00:42:44.599><c> of</c><00:42:44.960><c> the</c><00:42:45.079><c> Philistines</c><00:42:45.440><c> because</c>

00:42:46.739 --> 00:42:48.179
I<00:42:46.760><c> mean,</c><00:42:47.119><c> it</c><00:42:47.300><c> all</c><00:42:47.519><c> makes</c><00:42:47.800><c> sense.</c>

00:42:48.679 --> 00:42:51.159
Molech<00:42:49.159><c> was</c><00:42:49.480><c> the</c><00:42:49.619><c> local</c><00:42:49.960><c> god</c><00:42:50.199><c> and</c><00:42:50.300><c> he</c><00:42:50.420><c> was</c><00:42:50.559><c> the</c><00:42:50.639><c> god</c><00:42:50.719><c> of</c><00:42:50.900><c> fire.</c>

00:42:51.619 --> 00:42:54.320
And<00:42:51.619><c> generally</c><00:42:52.679><c> speaking,</c><00:42:53.280><c> the</c><00:42:53.340><c> images</c><00:42:53.579><c> made</c><00:42:53.900><c> to</c><00:42:53.980><c> him</c><00:42:54.039><c> were</c>

00:43:03.800 --> 00:43:07.300
It<00:43:03.920><c> would</c><00:43:04.119><c> come</c><00:43:04.280><c> in</c><00:43:04.500><c> and</c><00:43:04.679><c> out</c><00:43:04.820><c> like</c><00:43:05.039><c> that,</c><00:43:05.500><c> a</c><00:43:05.619><c> simple</c><00:43:06.079><c> sort</c><00:43:07.099><c> of</c>

The<00:43:10.380><c> mouth</c><00:43:10.639><c> would</c><00:43:10.820><c> come</c><00:43:10.980><c> out</c><00:43:11.280><c> and</c><00:43:11.559><c> you'd</c><00:43:11.800><c> put</c><00:43:11.880><c> the</c><00:43:12.179><c> child</c><00:43:12.440><c> on</c>

00:43:14.539 --> 00:43:16.960
And<00:43:14.699><c> the</c><00:43:14.800><c> child</c><00:43:14.980><c> would</c><00:43:15.360><c> roast</c><00:43:15.699><c> in</c><00:43:15.960><c> the</c><00:43:16.059><c> fire.</c>

00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:19.500

00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:20.980
It<00:43:20.000><c> doesn't</c><00:43:20.139><c> bear</c><00:43:20.280><c> thinking</c><00:43:20.619><c> about</c><00:43:20.760><c> it.</c>

00:43:20.980 --> 00:43:22.719
But<00:43:21.119><c> the</c><00:43:21.219><c> thing</c><00:43:21.360><c> is</c><00:43:21.480><c> we</c><00:43:21.539><c> have</c><00:43:21.760><c> to</c><00:43:21.880><c> because</c><00:43:22.079><c> it's</c><00:43:22.380><c> there</c><00:43:22.480><c> in</c><00:43:22.599><c> the</c>

And<00:43:41.820><c> they</c><00:43:41.900><c> would</c><00:43:42.039><c> love</c><00:43:42.179><c> their</c><00:43:42.440><c> children</c><00:43:42.739><c> as</c><00:43:42.940><c> much</c><00:43:43.099><c> as</c><00:43:43.280><c> you</c><00:43:43.500><c> love</c><00:43:43.679><c> yours</c><00:43:43.980><c> and</c>

I<00:43:44.280><c> love</c><00:43:44.460><c> mine.</c>

00:43:48.159 --> 00:43:51.659
The<00:43:48.780><c> family</c><00:43:49.139><c> in</c><00:43:49.280><c> the</c><00:43:49.380><c> Middle</c><00:43:49.579><c> East</c><00:43:49.760><c> is</c><00:43:50.340><c> a</c><00:43:50.539><c> very</c><00:43:51.139><c> tight</c><00:43:51.460><c> knit</c>

00:43:56.000 --> 00:44:00.840
Now<00:43:56.159><c> what</c><00:43:56.320><c> was</c><00:43:56.559><c> it</c><00:43:57.139><c> that</c><00:43:57.719><c> made</c><00:43:58.039><c> God's</c><00:43:58.559><c> people</c><00:43:59.099><c> turn</c><00:43:59.599><c> aside</c><00:44:00.139><c> from</c><00:44:00.539><c> the</c>

00:44:11.119 --> 00:44:16.000
But<00:44:11.539><c> I'll</c><00:44:12.699><c> come</c><00:44:13.000><c> to</c><00:44:13.239><c> a</c><00:44:13.340><c> biblical</c><00:44:13.599><c> answer</c><00:44:14.119><c> and</c><00:44:15.320><c> then</c><00:44:15.500><c> ask</c><00:44:15.719><c> a</c><00:44:15.880><c> few</c>

00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:28.039
And<00:44:24.400><c> so</c><00:44:24.880><c> Elijah</c><00:44:25.480><c> says</c><00:44:26.099><c> this</c><00:44:26.320><c> is</c><00:44:26.460><c> what</c><00:44:26.579><c> I</c><00:44:26.659><c> want</c><00:44:26.780><c> you</c><00:44:26.880><c> to</c><00:44:27.079><c> do.</c>

00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:49.199

00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:11.380
