Does<00:15:01.559><c> that</c><00:15:01.740><c> sound</c><00:15:01.919><c> like</c><00:15:02.159><c> you?</c><00:15:02.960><c> Because</c><00:15:03.080><c> it</c><00:15:03.240><c> sounds</c><00:15:03.320><c> like</c><00:15:03.539><c> me.</c>

does<00:15:23.139><c> what</c><00:15:23.299><c> He</c><00:15:23.480><c> does.</c>

00:15:24.700 --> 00:15:28.259
In<00:15:24.899><c> fact,</c><00:15:25.419><c> we</c><00:15:25.539><c> don't</c><00:15:25.799><c> just</c><00:15:26.200><c> have</c><00:15:26.440><c> difficulty</c><00:15:26.919><c> comprehending,</c>

00:15:28.299 --> 00:15:31.539

00:15:32.139 --> 00:15:36.360
And<00:15:32.299><c> it</c><00:15:32.480><c> can</c><00:15:32.659><c> be</c><00:15:32.840><c> the</c><00:15:33.039><c> source</c><00:15:33.279><c> of</c><00:15:33.580><c> severe</c><00:15:33.860><c> trial</c><00:15:34.360><c> in</c><00:15:34.580><c> our</c><00:15:34.799><c> individual</c><00:15:35.220><c> lives</c>

00:15:36.419 --> 00:15:39.879
when<00:15:36.679><c> we</c><00:15:36.940><c> see</c><00:15:37.080><c> what</c><00:15:37.220><c> He</c><00:15:37.419><c> does,</c><00:15:38.639><c> what</c><00:15:38.799><c> He</c><00:15:38.940><c> does.</c>

00:15:40.460 --> 00:15:44.059
So<00:15:40.879><c> the</c><00:15:40.980><c> book</c><00:15:41.159><c> of</c><00:15:41.379><c> Jonah</c><00:15:41.580><c> is</c><00:15:41.980><c> set</c><00:15:42.240><c> in</c><00:15:42.480><c> a</c><00:15:42.799><c> particular</c><00:15:43.299><c> time</c><00:15:43.679><c> period</c>

00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:50.919
Now,<00:15:46.960><c> he's</c><00:15:47.360><c> mentioned</c><00:15:47.659><c> for</c><00:15:47.840><c> the</c><00:15:48.019><c> first</c><00:15:48.279><c> time</c><00:15:49.000><c> by</c><00:15:49.440><c> name</c><00:15:49.860><c> in</c><00:15:50.360><c> the</c><00:15:50.559><c> Bible</c>

00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:56.080

00:15:56.139 --> 00:15:57.480
But<00:15:56.320><c> we</c><00:15:56.500><c> won't</c><00:15:56.620><c> go</c><00:15:56.799><c> to</c><00:15:56.899><c> that</c><00:15:57.100><c> passage.</c>

00:15:57.860 --> 00:16:01.620
We'll<00:15:58.039><c> go</c><00:15:58.200><c> to</c><00:15:58.379><c> 2</c><00:15:58.600><c> Kings</c><00:15:58.860><c> chapter</c><00:15:59.259><c> 9,</c><00:16:00.559><c> verses</c><00:16:00.700><c> 1</c><00:16:00.980><c> to</c><00:16:01.139><c> 4.</c>

00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:05.220
Now,<00:16:02.379><c> these</c><00:16:02.799><c> were</c><00:16:03.059><c> the</c><00:16:03.240><c> days</c><00:16:03.799><c> of</c><00:16:04.419><c> King</c><00:16:04.740><c> Ahab.</c>

00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:11.620
Remember,<00:16:06.820><c> the</c><00:16:07.320><c> two</c><00:16:08.080><c> peoples</c><00:16:08.740><c> had</c><00:16:09.600><c> parted</c><00:16:10.200><c> the</c><00:16:10.340><c> ways</c><00:16:10.580><c> between</c><00:16:10.960><c> themselves.</c>

00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:15.700
One<00:16:12.179><c> had</c><00:16:12.379><c> gone</c><00:16:12.580><c> in</c><00:16:12.759><c> one</c><00:16:12.960><c> direction</c><00:16:13.440><c> and</c><00:16:13.779><c> become</c><00:16:14.080><c> the</c><00:16:15.059><c> kingdom</c>

00:16:15.700 --> 00:16:16.559
of<00:16:16.200><c> Judah.</c>

00:16:16.980 --> 00:16:19.080
The<00:16:17.220><c> other</c><00:16:17.419><c> one</c><00:16:17.639><c> had</c><00:16:17.879><c> gone</c><00:16:18.080><c> in</c><00:16:18.240><c> the</c><00:16:18.379><c> other</c><00:16:18.559><c> direction</c>

00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:23.320
And<00:16:21.940><c> they</c><00:16:22.059><c> were</c><00:16:22.259><c> independent</c><00:16:22.740><c> of</c><00:16:22.919><c> each</c><00:16:23.139><c> other.</c>

00:16:23.340 --> 00:16:26.840
It<00:16:23.440><c> was</c><00:16:23.700><c> not</c><00:16:23.899><c> intended</c><00:16:24.419><c> to</c><00:16:24.620><c> be</c><00:16:24.820><c> so,</c><00:16:25.340><c> but</c><00:16:25.539><c> that</c><00:16:25.779><c> is</c><00:16:25.919><c> what</c><00:16:26.080><c> took</c><00:16:26.299><c> place.</c>

00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:30.000
God<00:16:27.500><c> had</c><00:16:27.720><c> something</c><00:16:27.940><c> to</c><00:16:28.120><c> do</c><00:16:28.200><c> with</c><00:16:28.419><c> it,</c><00:16:29.480><c> right?</c>

00:16:30.299 --> 00:16:31.679
Because<00:16:30.600><c> God</c><00:16:30.799><c> Himself</c><00:16:31.259><c> says,</c>

00:16:32.059 --> 00:16:35.940
it<00:16:32.059><c> is</c><00:16:32.240><c> of</c><00:16:32.539><c> Me</c><00:16:32.980><c> that</c><00:16:33.139><c> this</c><00:16:33.340><c> has</c><00:16:33.519><c> taken</c><00:16:33.779><c> place</c><00:16:34.220><c> when</c><00:16:34.700><c> Rehoboam</c><00:16:35.379><c> decides</c>

00:16:35.940 --> 00:16:39.659
that<00:16:36.259><c> He</c><00:16:36.360><c> wants</c><00:16:36.639><c> to</c><00:16:36.840><c> go</c><00:16:37.019><c> and</c><00:16:37.419><c> have</c><00:16:37.740><c> war</c><00:16:38.379><c> against</c><00:16:38.980><c> the</c><00:16:39.379><c> children</c>

00:16:39.659 --> 00:16:40.100
of<00:16:39.840><c> Israel</c>

00:16:40.100 --> 00:16:40.960
that<00:16:40.220><c> had</c><00:16:40.500><c> parted.</c>

00:16:41.299 --> 00:16:42.539
And<00:16:41.419><c> God</c><00:16:41.620><c> says,</c><00:16:42.000><c> don't</c><00:16:42.000><c> do</c><00:16:42.200><c> it.</c>

00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:43.960
This<00:16:43.200><c> is</c><00:16:43.379><c> of</c><00:16:43.559><c> Me.</c>

00:16:44.259 --> 00:16:46.100
Let<00:16:44.539><c> it</c><00:16:44.840><c> be</c><00:16:45.179><c> so.</c>

00:16:46.340 --> 00:16:48.460
So<00:16:46.519><c> there</c><00:16:46.659><c> are</c><00:16:46.820><c> two</c><00:16:47.019><c> separate</c><00:16:47.399><c> kingdoms.</c>

00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:51.580
And<00:16:48.919><c> Israel</c><00:16:49.440><c> was</c><00:16:50.460><c> wicked</c><00:16:50.879><c> and</c><00:16:51.240><c> evil.</c>

00:16:51.940 --> 00:16:53.659
They<00:16:52.039><c> went</c><00:16:52.259><c> down</c><00:16:52.539><c> the</c><00:16:52.679><c> path</c><00:16:52.919><c> of</c><00:16:53.200><c> idolatry.</c>

00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:57.179
They<00:16:53.840><c> walked</c><00:16:54.240><c> away</c><00:16:54.620><c> from</c><00:16:55.120><c> all</c><00:16:55.500><c> of</c><00:16:55.639><c> the</c><00:16:55.860><c> principles</c><00:16:56.200><c> of</c><00:16:56.419><c> the</c><00:16:56.759><c> truth</c>

00:16:57.179 --> 00:16:59.240
that<00:16:58.019><c> they'd</c><00:16:58.200><c> been</c><00:16:58.440><c> instructed</c><00:16:58.899><c> in.</c>

00:16:59.500 --> 00:17:01.799
We<00:16:59.620><c> have</c><00:16:59.820><c> no</c><00:17:00.000><c> part</c><00:17:00.159><c> in</c><00:17:00.360><c> David,</c><00:17:00.820><c> they</c><00:17:01.059><c> said.</c>

00:17:01.860 --> 00:17:03.960
And<00:17:02.080><c> likewise,</c><00:17:02.340><c> they</c><00:17:02.460><c> had</c><00:17:02.639><c> no</c><00:17:02.899><c> part</c><00:17:03.039><c> in</c><00:17:03.220><c> David's</c><00:17:03.700><c> faith</c>

Look<00:19:36.019><c> at</c><00:19:36.140><c> the</c><00:19:36.220><c> way</c><00:19:36.359><c> it</c><00:19:36.559><c> describes</c><00:19:36.839><c> it,</c><00:19:37.160><c> very</c><00:19:37.539><c> cryptic</c><00:19:38.539><c> terms.</c>

00:19:39.819 --> 00:19:42.259
The<00:19:40.099><c> language</c><00:19:40.700><c> is</c><00:19:41.400><c> enigmatic.</c>

00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:45.259
It<00:19:42.619><c> seems</c><00:19:42.900><c> deliberately</c><00:19:43.619><c> so.</c><00:19:44.119><c> Why?</c><00:19:44.500><c> We</c><00:19:44.660><c> don't</c><00:19:44.920><c> know.</c>

00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.619
Maybe<00:19:46.079><c> it's</c><00:19:46.779><c> somehow</c><00:19:47.079><c> pointing</c><00:19:47.519><c> forward</c><00:19:47.880><c> to</c><00:19:48.339><c> one</c>

00:19:48.619 --> 00:19:51.119
that<00:19:48.799><c> would</c><00:19:49.019><c> become</c><00:19:49.240><c> a</c><00:19:49.440><c> great</c><00:19:49.640><c> prophet</c><00:19:49.960><c> as</c><00:19:50.220><c> Jonah</c><00:19:50.559><c> did</c>

00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:52.119
eventually<00:19:51.640><c> become,</c>

00:19:52.259 --> 00:19:54.640
even<00:19:52.519><c> though</c><00:19:52.640><c> we</c><00:19:52.759><c> don't</c><00:19:52.900><c> hear</c><00:19:53.039><c> much</c><00:19:53.279><c> about</c><00:19:53.480><c> him</c><00:19:53.599><c> in</c><00:19:53.720><c> the</c><00:19:53.839><c> Bible.</c>

00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:57.380
You<00:19:55.079><c> read</c><00:19:55.259><c> in</c><00:19:55.440><c> verse</c><00:19:55.680><c> four</c><00:19:56.099><c> of</c><00:19:56.319><c> 2</c><00:19:56.539><c> Kings</c><00:19:56.779><c> 9,</c>

00:19:57.380 --> 00:20:03.740
so<00:19:58.039><c> the</c><00:19:58.359><c> young</c><00:19:58.660><c> man,</c><00:20:00.519><c> even</c><00:20:01.000><c> the</c><00:20:01.380><c> young</c><00:20:01.660><c> man,</c><00:20:02.519><c> the</c><00:20:02.779><c> prophet,</c>

00:20:04.180 --> 00:20:05.460
went<00:20:04.299><c> to</c><00:20:04.519><c> Ramoth</c><00:20:04.819><c> Gilead.</c>

00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:07.839
Why<00:20:06.279><c> that</c><00:20:06.519><c> kind</c><00:20:06.700><c> of</c><00:20:06.880><c> language?</c><00:20:07.359><c> No</c><00:20:07.539><c> answer.</c>

00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:10.279
We<00:20:08.079><c> don't</c><00:20:08.240><c> have</c><00:20:08.380><c> any</c><00:20:08.579><c> answers.</c><00:20:09.460><c> We</c><00:20:09.599><c> don't</c><00:20:09.799><c> know</c><00:20:09.920><c> why.</c>

00:20:10.500 --> 00:20:13.019
But<00:20:10.640><c> it's</c><00:20:10.940><c> unusual</c><00:20:11.579><c> language.</c>

00:20:13.059 --> 00:20:17.700
So<00:20:13.180><c> this</c><00:20:13.380><c> is</c><00:20:13.640><c> a</c><00:20:13.779><c> young</c><00:20:14.039><c> man</c><00:20:14.779><c> who</c><00:20:15.019><c> is</c><00:20:15.259><c> a</c><00:20:15.579><c> prophet</c><00:20:16.059><c> unnamed,</c>

00:20:17.740 --> 00:20:22.299
sent<00:20:17.940><c> to</c><00:20:18.119><c> do</c><00:20:18.279><c> God's</c><00:20:18.660><c> bidding</c><00:20:19.039><c> and</c><00:20:19.920><c> Jews</c><00:20:20.380><c> from</c><00:20:21.039><c> before</c><00:20:21.480><c> the</c><00:20:21.680><c> time</c><00:20:21.819><c> of</c><00:20:22.039><c> Christ,</c>

00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:26.099
but<00:20:22.680><c> writing</c><00:20:23.039><c> it</c><00:20:23.500><c> down</c><00:20:24.019><c> in</c><00:20:24.660><c> their</c><00:20:24.920><c> traditional</c><00:20:25.480><c> records</c>

00:20:26.099 --> 00:20:29.660
in<00:20:26.619><c> the</c><00:20:26.819><c> days</c><00:20:27.019><c> of</c><00:20:27.220><c> Christ</c><00:20:27.759><c> identified</c><00:20:28.660><c> this</c><00:20:28.960><c> young</c><00:20:29.240><c> prophet</c>

00:20:29.660 --> 00:20:31.380
with<00:20:30.579><c> Jonah.</c>

00:20:31.500 --> 00:20:34.299
Now<00:20:31.640><c> when</c><00:20:31.799><c> we</c><00:20:32.099><c> move</c><00:20:32.500><c> forward</c><00:20:33.019><c> into</c><00:20:33.579><c> the</c><00:20:33.900><c> chapter</c>

00:20:34.299 --> 00:20:38.339
that<00:20:34.740><c> we</c><00:20:34.980><c> talked</c><00:20:35.180><c> about</c><00:20:35.460><c> originally,</c><00:20:36.259><c> 2</c><00:20:36.400><c> Kings</c><00:20:36.660><c> chapter</c><00:20:37.059><c> 14,</c>

00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:45.359
we<00:20:40.880><c> read</c><00:20:41.339><c> in</c><00:20:41.539><c> verses</c><00:20:41.859><c> 23</c><00:20:42.380><c> to</c><00:20:42.579><c> the</c><00:20:42.759><c> end</c><00:20:43.099><c> about</c><00:20:43.920><c> a</c><00:20:44.839><c> new</c><00:20:45.119><c> king</c>

00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:46.519
that's<00:20:45.720><c> ruling.</c>

00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:52.200
This<00:20:47.259><c> is</c><00:20:47.980><c> a</c><00:20:48.220><c> descendant</c><00:20:49.000><c> of</c><00:20:49.299><c> Jehu,</c><00:20:50.220><c> and</c><00:20:50.339><c> his</c><00:20:50.640><c> name</c><00:20:51.079><c> is</c><00:20:51.500><c> Jeroboam.</c>

00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:54.640
Now<00:20:52.880><c> he's</c><00:20:53.039><c> not</c><00:20:53.279><c> the</c><00:20:53.599><c> first</c><00:20:53.880><c> Jeroboam,</c>

00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:58.119
he's<00:20:55.119><c> the</c><00:20:55.200><c> second</c><00:20:55.680><c> Jeroboam</c><00:20:56.539><c> that's</c><00:20:56.880><c> ruling</c><00:20:57.099><c> over</c><00:20:57.380><c> these</c><00:20:57.640><c> people.</c>

00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:00.180
And<00:20:58.539><c> he's</c><00:20:58.799><c> likewise</c><00:20:59.180><c> a</c><00:20:59.380><c> wicked</c><00:20:59.660><c> man,</c>

were<00:21:04.160><c> going</c><00:21:04.460><c> through</c><00:21:04.940><c> such</c><00:21:05.259><c> terrible</c><00:21:06.119><c> trial</c><00:21:06.579><c> that</c><00:21:07.059><c> he</c><00:21:07.599><c> cries</c>

00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:09.779
out<00:21:08.380><c> for</c><00:21:08.559><c> God's</c><00:21:08.960><c> help.</c>

00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:12.819
The<00:21:10.220><c> children</c><00:21:10.539><c> of</c><00:21:10.660><c> Israel</c><00:21:10.980><c> cry</c><00:21:11.279><c> out</c><00:21:11.480><c> for</c><00:21:11.640><c> God's</c><00:21:11.980><c> help,</c>

00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:16.539
and<00:21:12.980><c> it</c><00:21:13.079><c> would</c><00:21:13.299><c> seem</c><00:21:13.460><c> as</c><00:21:13.640><c> if</c><00:21:13.940><c> Jonah</c><00:21:14.500><c> had</c><00:21:15.180><c> given</c><00:21:15.500><c> this</c><00:21:16.099><c> message</c>

the<00:22:09.440><c> son</c><00:22:09.599><c> of</c><00:22:09.819><c> Amittai,</c><00:22:10.799><c> the</c><00:22:11.180><c> prophet,</c><00:22:12.140><c> which</c><00:22:12.319><c> was</c><00:22:12.519><c> of</c><00:22:12.740><c> Gath</c><00:22:13.000><c>-Hefer.</c>

00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:18.960
Now,<00:22:15.980><c> even</c><00:22:16.160><c> though</c><00:22:16.599><c> we</c><00:22:17.079><c> don't</c><00:22:17.579><c> know</c><00:22:17.920><c> who</c><00:22:18.160><c> the</c><00:22:18.440><c> prophet</c><00:22:18.720><c> is</c>

00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:21.099
in<00:22:19.180><c> the</c><00:22:19.599><c> earlier</c><00:22:20.000><c> chapter</c><00:22:20.380><c> we</c><00:22:20.539><c> looked</c><00:22:20.779><c> at,</c>

00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:24.259
once<00:22:21.680><c> again</c><00:22:21.900><c> there</c><00:22:22.099><c> seems</c><00:22:22.339><c> to</c><00:22:22.519><c> be</c><00:22:22.680><c> unusual</c><00:22:23.119><c> language.</c>

00:22:24.859 --> 00:22:29.140
If<00:22:25.000><c> God</c><00:22:25.259><c> is</c><00:22:25.500><c> going</c><00:22:25.660><c> to</c><00:22:25.940><c> say</c><00:22:26.160><c> something</c><00:22:26.559><c> through</c><00:22:26.940><c> a</c><00:22:27.160><c> man</c><00:22:27.380><c> to</c><00:22:27.920><c> the</c><00:22:28.220><c> people,</c>

00:22:29.180 --> 00:22:30.359
he's<00:22:29.400><c> a</c><00:22:29.579><c> prophet.</c>

00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:32.680
That's<00:22:31.119><c> what</c><00:22:31.359><c> prophecy</c><00:22:31.700><c> meant.</c>

00:22:32.900 --> 00:22:35.799
It<00:22:33.299><c> had</c><00:22:33.559><c> to</c><00:22:33.720><c> do</c><00:22:33.779><c> with</c><00:22:33.980><c> the</c><00:22:34.359><c> giving</c><00:22:34.619><c> of</c><00:22:34.920><c> a</c><00:22:35.119><c> message</c><00:22:35.400><c> that</c><00:22:35.660><c> came</c>

00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:36.440
from<00:22:36.000><c> God.</c>

00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:40.220
It<00:22:37.000><c> didn't</c><00:22:37.279><c> necessarily</c><00:22:37.960><c> mean</c><00:22:38.240><c> the</c><00:22:38.500><c> foretelling</c><00:22:38.940><c> of</c><00:22:39.220><c> events,</c>

00:22:40.259 --> 00:22:41.680
though<00:22:40.319><c> that</c><00:22:40.500><c> was</c><00:22:40.700><c> involved</c><00:22:40.980><c> in</c><00:22:41.279><c> prophecy,</c>

00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:42.819
or<00:22:41.940><c> the</c><00:22:42.119><c> work</c><00:22:42.220><c> of</c><00:22:42.380><c> the</c><00:22:42.559><c> prophet.</c>

00:22:43.299 --> 00:22:46.799
The<00:22:43.440><c> prophet</c><00:22:43.680><c> was</c><00:22:43.880><c> the</c><00:22:44.019><c> one</c><00:22:44.119><c> who</c><00:22:44.460><c> gave</c><00:22:44.880><c> God's</c><00:22:45.519><c> words</c><00:22:45.940><c> to</c><00:22:46.180><c> the</c><00:22:46.359><c> people.</c>

00:22:47.299 --> 00:22:50.559
So<00:22:47.759><c> it</c><00:22:48.160><c> would</c><00:22:48.339><c> be</c><00:22:48.559><c> obvious</c><00:22:48.980><c> that</c><00:22:49.180><c> this</c><00:22:49.420><c> person</c><00:22:49.660><c> would</c><00:22:49.819><c> be</c><00:22:49.980><c> a</c><00:22:50.180><c> prophet.</c>

00:22:51.019 --> 00:22:55.440
And<00:22:51.119><c> yet</c><00:22:51.220><c> the</c><00:22:51.440><c> language</c><00:22:51.740><c> says</c><00:22:52.500><c> Jonah,</c><00:22:54.359><c> the</c><00:22:54.559><c> son</c><00:22:54.740><c> of</c><00:22:55.000><c> Amittai,</c>

00:22:55.900 --> 00:22:56.900
the<00:22:56.339><c> prophet,</c>

00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:58.440
which<00:22:57.500><c> was</c><00:22:57.660><c> of</c><00:22:57.859><c> Gath</c><00:22:58.059><c>-Hefer.</c>

00:22:58.900 --> 00:23:01.380
All<00:22:59.059><c> it</c><00:22:59.200><c> had</c><00:22:59.319><c> to</c><00:22:59.539><c> say</c><00:22:59.660><c> was</c><00:22:59.960><c> Jonah,</c><00:23:00.440><c> the</c><00:23:00.460><c> son</c><00:23:00.619><c> of</c><00:23:00.819><c> Amittai.</c>

00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:05.400
But<00:23:02.119><c> once</c><00:23:02.460><c> again</c><00:23:02.700><c> there</c><00:23:02.839><c> is</c><00:23:03.059><c> this</c><00:23:03.259><c> use</c><00:23:03.400><c> of</c><00:23:03.619><c> the</c><00:23:03.759><c> term</c><00:23:03.980><c> the</c><00:23:04.440><c> prophet.</c>

00:23:05.660 --> 00:23:07.480
Perhaps<00:23:06.000><c> a</c><00:23:06.259><c> message,</c><00:23:06.660><c> brothers</c><00:23:06.880><c> and</c><00:23:07.180><c> sisters,</c>

00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:11.680
that<00:23:07.980><c> no</c><00:23:08.500><c> matter</c><00:23:08.819><c> how</c><00:23:09.259><c> bad</c><00:23:09.619><c> things</c><00:23:10.000><c> got</c><00:23:10.319><c> in</c><00:23:10.519><c> Israel,</c>

00:23:13.299 --> 00:23:17.940
God<00:23:13.819><c> always</c><00:23:14.339><c> gave</c><00:23:15.079><c> the</c><00:23:15.380><c> people</c><00:23:15.700><c> in</c><00:23:15.960><c> that</c><00:23:16.220><c> country</c><00:23:16.940><c> access</c><00:23:17.740><c> to</c>

00:23:17.940 --> 00:23:19.380
his<00:23:18.200><c> principles,</c>

00:23:19.420 --> 00:23:20.779
to<00:23:19.559><c> what</c><00:23:19.660><c> he</c><00:23:19.880><c> wanted</c><00:23:20.039><c> them</c><00:23:20.259><c> to</c><00:23:20.480><c> know,</c>

00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:23.000
to<00:23:21.359><c> what</c><00:23:21.500><c> he</c><00:23:21.660><c> wanted</c><00:23:21.859><c> them</c><00:23:22.059><c> to</c><00:23:22.220><c> be</c><00:23:22.440><c> aware</c><00:23:22.700><c> of,</c>

00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:25.980
no<00:23:23.700><c> matter</c><00:23:23.900><c> how</c><00:23:24.140><c> bad</c><00:23:24.339><c> things</c><00:23:24.559><c> get</c><00:23:24.759><c> in</c><00:23:24.940><c> our</c><00:23:25.140><c> lives.</c>

00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.180
We<00:23:26.359><c> always</c><00:23:26.619><c> have</c><00:23:26.799><c> the</c><00:23:26.980><c> word</c><00:23:27.079><c> of</c><00:23:27.339><c> God</c><00:23:27.839><c> right</c><00:23:28.539><c> in</c><00:23:29.019><c> our</c><00:23:29.259><c> homes.</c>

00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.799
There<00:23:30.380><c> is</c><00:23:30.559><c> not</c><00:23:30.680><c> a</c><00:23:30.880><c> single</c><00:23:31.220><c> home</c><00:23:31.700><c> that</c><00:23:31.940><c> any</c><00:23:32.160><c> of</c><00:23:32.299><c> you</c><00:23:32.480><c> belongs</c><00:23:33.000><c> to</c>

that<00:23:34.200><c> doesn't</c><00:23:35.839><c> have</c><00:23:36.420><c> two</c><00:23:36.839><c> or</c><00:23:36.960><c> three</c><00:23:37.240><c> Bibles</c><00:23:37.599><c> in</c><00:23:37.759><c> it.</c>

00:23:38.980 --> 00:23:39.799
Right?

00:23:39.819 --> 00:23:42.500
So<00:23:40.279><c> the</c><00:23:40.460><c> word</c><00:23:40.579><c> of</c><00:23:40.759><c> God</c><00:23:40.859><c> is</c><00:23:41.039><c> always</c><00:23:41.279><c> available</c><00:23:41.980><c> to</c><00:23:42.220><c> us.</c>

00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:47.720
It's<00:23:42.859><c> always</c><00:23:43.140><c> sitting</c><00:23:43.420><c> there</c><00:23:43.940><c> to</c><00:23:44.819><c> condemn</c><00:23:45.200><c> us</c><00:23:45.859><c> or</c><00:23:46.259><c> to</c><00:23:46.500><c> lift</c><00:23:46.720><c> us</c>

00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:53.700
And<00:23:50.700><c> that</c><00:23:50.859><c> was</c><00:23:51.079><c> the</c><00:23:51.359><c> role</c><00:23:51.599><c> of</c><00:23:51.859><c> the</c><00:23:52.180><c> prophets</c><00:23:52.500><c> that</c><00:23:52.799><c> God</c><00:23:53.099><c> raised</c>

in<00:23:54.140><c> Israel</c><00:23:54.559><c> this</c><00:23:54.900><c> time.</c>

00:23:56.059 --> 00:23:58.920
Well,<00:23:57.380><c> you</c><00:23:57.500><c> think</c><00:23:57.680><c> of</c><00:23:57.859><c> the</c><00:23:58.000><c> days</c><00:23:58.099><c> he</c><00:23:58.319><c> lived</c><00:23:58.539><c> through.</c>

00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:04.920
He<00:23:59.759><c> lived</c><00:23:59.960><c> through</c><00:24:00.480><c> if</c><00:24:00.839><c> he</c><00:24:01.240><c> was</c><00:24:01.480><c> the</c><00:24:01.700><c> young</c><00:24:02.000><c> prophet</c><00:24:02.400><c> described</c><00:24:03.339><c> in</c><00:24:03.579><c> 2</c><00:24:03.839><c> Kings</c><00:24:04.099><c> 9,</c>

00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:08.140
and<00:24:05.380><c> for</c><00:24:05.539><c> the</c><00:24:05.759><c> purpose</c><00:24:06.019><c> of</c><00:24:06.359><c> argument</c><00:24:06.660><c> we'll</c><00:24:07.019><c> accept</c><00:24:07.279><c> that.</c>

00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:14.579
Then<00:24:08.920><c> he</c><00:24:09.119><c> lived</c><00:24:09.299><c> through</c><00:24:09.519><c> the</c><00:24:09.519><c> days</c><00:24:09.799><c> of</c><00:24:10.119><c> Jehu,</c><00:24:11.500><c> Jehoahaz,</c><00:24:13.000><c> Jehoash,</c><00:24:14.400><c> and</c>

Jeroboam<00:24:15.019><c> II.</c>

00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:21.000
Now<00:24:16.900><c> Jehu</c><00:24:17.140><c> started</c><00:24:17.480><c> off</c><00:24:17.720><c> his</c><00:24:18.000><c> reign</c><00:24:18.359><c> with</c><00:24:19.019><c> great</c><00:24:19.619><c> zeal</c><00:24:20.099><c> and</c><00:24:20.420><c> fervor.</c>

00:24:21.299 --> 00:24:23.859
You'll<00:24:21.640><c> remember</c><00:24:21.960><c> that</c><00:24:22.099><c> he</c><00:24:22.339><c> wiped</c><00:24:22.660><c> out</c><00:24:23.240><c> Baalism,</c>

00:24:26.900 --> 00:24:30.759
He<00:24:27.279><c> locked</c><00:24:27.579><c> all</c><00:24:28.559><c> the</c><00:24:28.720><c> worshipers</c><00:24:29.259><c> of</c><00:24:29.380><c> Baal</c><00:24:29.559><c> up</c><00:24:29.700><c> in</c><00:24:30.059><c> their</c><00:24:30.319><c> temple</c>

00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:35.220

How<00:30:13.359><c> would</c><00:30:13.539><c> you</c><00:30:13.759><c> feel?</c>

00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:18.480
My<00:30:15.460><c> family</c><00:30:15.940><c> is</c><00:30:16.339><c> falling</c><00:30:16.599><c> apart</c><00:30:17.059><c> at</c><00:30:17.299><c> the</c><00:30:17.579><c> seams.</c>

someplace<00:30:23.680><c> else?</c>

00:30:23.980 --> 00:30:25.599
I<00:30:24.119><c> can't</c><00:30:24.380><c> do</c><00:30:24.519><c> it.</c>

00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:28.619
This<00:30:26.619><c> is,</c><00:30:26.779><c> I</c><00:30:26.900><c> have</c><00:30:27.099><c> to</c><00:30:27.259><c> fix</c><00:30:27.400><c> this</c><00:30:27.619><c> first.</c>

00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:31.200
I<00:30:29.079><c> can't</c><00:30:29.319><c> go</c><00:30:29.519><c> there</c><00:30:29.700><c> and</c><00:30:29.839><c> help</c><00:30:29.960><c> in</c><00:30:30.160><c> that</c><00:30:30.319><c> trouble.</c>

00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:33.759
That's<00:30:32.000><c> the</c><00:30:32.079><c> kind</c><00:30:32.259><c> of</c><00:30:32.480><c> feeling,</c><00:30:33.380><c> right?</c>

00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.119
Maybe<00:30:34.460><c> we</c><00:30:34.579><c> can</c><00:30:34.759><c> relate</c><00:30:35.039><c> it</c><00:30:35.259><c> to</c><00:30:35.440><c> ourselves</c><00:30:35.839><c> that</c><00:30:36.099><c> way</c><00:30:36.259><c> a</c><00:30:36.339><c> little</c><00:30:36.539><c> bit.</c>

00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:39.660
God<00:30:37.519><c> says,</c><00:30:37.839><c> no,</c><00:30:37.880><c> get</c><00:30:37.940><c> up</c><00:30:38.059><c> and</c><00:30:38.319><c> go</c><00:30:38.539><c> to</c><00:30:38.880><c> the</c><00:30:39.200><c> Ninevites.</c>

00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:42.880
I<00:30:40.299><c> want</c><00:30:40.460><c> you</c><00:30:40.619><c> to</c><00:30:40.759><c> go</c><00:30:40.960><c> to</c><00:30:41.200><c> them</c><00:30:41.440><c> and</c><00:30:41.599><c> speak</c><00:30:41.799><c> to</c><00:30:41.960><c> them.</c>

00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:46.400
And<00:30:43.700><c> the</c><00:30:44.400><c> reaction</c><00:30:44.940><c> that</c><00:30:45.240><c> Jonah</c><00:30:45.359><c> has</c><00:30:45.640><c> is</c><00:30:45.779><c> very</c><00:30:46.039><c> interesting,</c>

00:30:46.500 --> 00:30:47.420
isn't<00:30:46.640><c> it?</c>

00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:51.299
But<00:30:47.599><c> Jonah</c><00:30:47.839><c> rose</c><00:30:48.059><c> up</c><00:30:48.200><c> to</c><00:30:48.539><c> flee</c><00:30:48.940><c> unto</c><00:30:49.220><c> Tarshish</c><00:30:50.420><c> for</c><00:30:50.700><c> the</c><00:30:50.940><c> presence</c><00:30:51.140><c> of</c>

00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:56.420
and<00:30:52.319><c> went</c><00:30:52.619><c> down</c><00:30:53.279><c> to</c><00:30:53.539><c> Joppa</c><00:30:54.140><c> and</c><00:30:54.579><c> found</c><00:30:54.900><c> a</c><00:30:55.099><c> ship</c><00:30:55.220><c> going</c><00:30:55.480><c> to</c><00:30:55.799><c> Tarshish.</c>

00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:00.119
So<00:30:56.920><c> he</c><00:30:57.200><c> paid</c><00:30:57.559><c> the</c><00:30:57.839><c> fare</c><00:30:57.980><c> thereof,</c><00:30:58.859><c> he</c><00:30:59.039><c> went</c><00:30:59.240><c> down</c><00:30:59.539><c> into</c><00:30:59.799><c> it</c>

00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:05.900
As<00:31:04.359><c> we</c><00:31:04.539><c> read</c><00:31:04.700><c> through</c><00:31:04.859><c> the</c><00:31:04.960><c> rest</c><00:31:05.099><c> of</c><00:31:05.279><c> the</c><00:31:05.440><c> chapter,</c>

00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:11.259

00:32:17.740 --> 00:32:21.660
How<00:32:17.960><c> many</c><00:32:18.259><c> times</c><00:32:18.599><c> do</c><00:32:18.740><c> we</c><00:32:18.940><c> go</c><00:32:19.140><c> down</c><00:32:19.880><c> into</c><00:32:20.119><c> the</c><00:32:20.519><c> innermost</c><00:32:21.279><c> parts</c>

Maybe<00:32:25.740><c> three</c><00:32:25.960><c> reasons.</c>

00:32:28.980 --> 00:32:33.000
Assyria<00:32:29.619><c> was</c><00:32:30.259><c> famous</c><00:32:30.940><c> for</c><00:32:31.240><c> its</c><00:32:31.779><c> brutality.</c>

00:32:37.299 --> 00:32:42.819
any<00:32:37.539><c> nation</c><00:32:38.099><c> that</c><00:32:38.519><c> had</c><00:32:38.779><c> any</c><00:32:39.660><c> spirit</c><00:32:40.339><c> of</c><00:32:41.299><c> standing</c><00:32:42.039><c> up</c><00:32:42.319><c> for</c><00:32:42.500><c> itself</c>

00:32:42.819 --> 00:32:45.039

00:32:47.420 --> 00:32:48.859
Eventually<00:32:47.799><c> it</c><00:32:47.920><c> would</c><00:32:48.119><c> be</c><00:32:48.279><c> wiped</c><00:32:48.480><c> out.</c>

00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:52.119
The<00:32:49.359><c> Assyrians</c><00:32:49.779><c> would</c><00:32:50.039><c> come</c><00:32:50.259><c> in,</c><00:32:50.539><c> brothers</c><00:32:50.839><c> and</c><00:32:51.119><c> sisters,</c>

against<00:32:56.259><c> them.</c>

00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:58.900
They<00:32:56.759><c> would</c><00:32:57.019><c> get</c><00:32:57.240><c> behind</c><00:32:57.559><c> their</c><00:32:57.799><c> walls,</c><00:32:58.180><c> close</c><00:32:58.519><c> the</c><00:32:58.740><c> gates,</c>

00:33:07.619 --> 00:33:11.039
And<00:33:07.799><c> when</c><00:33:07.980><c> the</c><00:33:08.180><c> Assyrians</c><00:33:08.619><c> broke</c><00:33:09.299><c> through</c><00:33:09.799><c> that</c><00:33:10.160><c> gate,</c>

00:33:11.740 --> 00:33:15.259

00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:21.539
And<00:33:19.400><c> then</c><00:33:19.720><c> many</c><00:33:20.200><c> of</c><00:33:20.420><c> them</c><00:33:20.700><c> would</c><00:33:20.940><c> be</c><00:33:21.220><c> taken,</c>

00:33:21.980 --> 00:33:23.579
stakes<00:33:22.119><c> would</c><00:33:22.359><c> be</c><00:33:22.619><c> shoved</c><00:33:22.819><c> into</c><00:33:22.980><c> their</c><00:33:23.240><c> stomachs</c>

00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:31.740
They<00:33:28.339><c> would</c><00:33:28.500><c> cut</c><00:33:28.680><c> off</c><00:33:28.960><c> ears,</c><00:33:30.099><c> noses.</c>

00:33:35.500 --> 00:33:39.279
This<00:33:35.880><c> was</c><00:33:36.099><c> just</c><00:33:36.440><c> common</c><00:33:36.779><c> brutality.</c><00:33:37.960><c> It's</c><00:33:38.059><c> what</c><00:33:38.180><c> they</c><00:33:38.400><c> did.</c>

00:33:39.740 --> 00:33:44.400
And<00:33:39.940><c> God</c><00:33:40.099><c> says,</c><00:33:40.700><c> go</c><00:33:40.859><c> to</c><00:33:41.099><c> the</c><00:33:41.380><c> Ninevites</c><00:33:42.039><c> and</c><00:33:42.839><c> give</c><00:33:42.960><c> them</c><00:33:43.160><c> this</c><00:33:43.359><c> message.</c>

00:33:44.619 --> 00:33:48.000
Jonah<00:33:45.180><c> knew</c><00:33:45.579><c> the</c><00:33:45.900><c> only</c><00:33:46.180><c> reason</c><00:33:46.460><c> that</c><00:33:46.700><c> God</c><00:33:46.839><c> would</c><00:33:47.099><c> send</c><00:33:47.220><c> him</c><00:33:47.480><c> there</c>

00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:52.119
was<00:33:48.579><c> because</c><00:33:48.960><c> God</c><00:33:49.279><c> wanted</c><00:33:49.599><c> to</c><00:33:49.799><c> give</c><00:33:49.859><c> him</c><00:33:50.059><c> the</c><00:33:50.200><c> opportunity</c><00:33:50.779><c> to</c><00:33:51.079><c> repent.</c>

00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:54.259
That's<00:33:52.539><c> why</c><00:33:52.759><c> he</c><00:33:52.980><c> sent</c><00:33:53.200><c> him</c><00:33:53.359><c> there.</c>

but<00:34:20.340><c> the</c><00:34:20.440><c> way</c><00:34:20.579><c> we</c><00:34:20.840><c> think.</c>

00:34:22.739 --> 00:34:26.619
So<00:34:22.980><c> God</c><00:34:23.320><c> begins</c><00:34:23.840><c> to</c><00:34:24.260><c> work</c><00:34:24.639><c> on</c><00:34:25.280><c> this</c><00:34:25.699><c> little</c><00:34:26.039><c> man</c>

00:34:26.619 --> 00:34:28.019
and<00:34:27.079><c> his</c><00:34:27.239><c> little</c><00:34:27.460><c> life</c>

00:34:28.019 --> 00:34:30.619
and<00:34:28.519><c> his</c><00:34:28.860><c> little</c><00:34:29.179><c> way</c><00:34:29.460><c> of</c><00:34:29.739><c> looking</c><00:34:29.940><c> at</c><00:34:30.199><c> things,</c>

00:34:31.099 --> 00:34:32.599
just<00:34:31.239><c> like</c><00:34:31.360><c> he</c><00:34:31.460><c> does</c><00:34:31.539><c> with</c><00:34:31.739><c> you</c><00:34:31.940><c> and</c><00:34:32.179><c> me,</c>

00:34:33.059 --> 00:34:36.539
takes<00:34:33.239><c> our</c><00:34:33.539><c> little</c><00:34:33.940><c> experiences,</c><00:34:35.480><c> our</c><00:34:35.679><c> little</c><00:34:35.940><c> background,</c>

00:34:36.820 --> 00:34:40.360
all<00:34:37.099><c> of</c><00:34:37.340><c> our</c><00:34:37.480><c> little</c><00:34:38.019><c> ways</c><00:34:38.400><c> of</c><00:34:38.719><c> viewing</c><00:34:38.860><c> the</c><00:34:39.139><c> way</c><00:34:39.360><c> things</c><00:34:39.719><c> ought</c><00:34:40.079><c> to</c><00:34:40.260><c> be,</c>

00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:41.639
the<00:34:40.500><c> way</c><00:34:40.619><c> things</c><00:34:40.900><c> ought</c><00:34:41.119><c> to</c><00:34:41.380><c> work,</c>

00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:43.539
the<00:34:42.019><c> way</c><00:34:42.119><c> we</c><00:34:42.380><c> ought</c><00:34:42.579><c> to</c><00:34:42.739><c> be</c><00:34:42.860><c> with</c><00:34:43.019><c> each</c><00:34:43.239><c> other.</c>

00:34:43.739 --> 00:34:46.619
And<00:34:44.019><c> he</c><00:34:44.400><c> breaks</c><00:34:44.739><c> through</c><00:34:45.159><c> every</c><00:34:45.699><c> shell,</c>

00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:48.840
every<00:34:47.079><c> prejudice,</c><00:34:47.880><c> every</c><00:34:48.300><c> fear,</c>

00:34:49.179 --> 00:34:52.820

00:34:52.940 --> 00:34:56.199
and<00:34:53.539><c> forces</c><00:34:53.880><c> us</c><00:34:54.139><c> to</c><00:34:54.460><c> deal</c><00:34:54.659><c> with</c><00:34:54.880><c> what</c><00:34:55.139><c> we</c><00:34:55.380><c> are</c><00:34:55.519><c> made</c><00:34:55.800><c> of</c>

00:34:56.199 --> 00:34:58.440
and<00:34:57.059><c> what</c><00:34:57.260><c> he</c><00:34:57.519><c> has</c><00:34:57.699><c> given</c><00:34:57.860><c> us</c>

00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:03.159
and<00:34:58.840><c> how</c><00:34:59.500><c> little,</c><00:35:01.139><c> how</c><00:35:01.500><c> puny,</c>

00:35:04.780 --> 00:35:08.039
how<00:35:05.380><c> difficult</c><00:35:05.980><c> we</c><00:35:06.280><c> are</c><00:35:06.480><c> to</c><00:35:06.719><c> work</c><00:35:06.920><c> with,</c>

00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:10.820
even<00:35:09.019><c> for</c><00:35:09.260><c> the</c><00:35:09.360><c> living</c><00:35:09.559><c> God.</c>

00:35:11.179 --> 00:35:14.019
And<00:35:11.380><c> he</c><00:35:11.480><c> takes</c><00:35:11.760><c> that</c><00:35:12.079><c> man</c><00:35:12.260><c> and</c><00:35:12.460><c> this</c><00:35:12.679><c> is</c><00:35:13.039><c> the</c><00:35:13.199><c> start,</c>

00:35:14.099 --> 00:35:18.199
this<00:35:14.380><c> is</c><00:35:14.599><c> the</c><00:35:14.860><c> start</c><00:35:15.260><c> of</c><00:35:15.900><c> the</c><00:35:16.139><c> creation</c><00:35:16.519><c> of</c><00:35:16.719><c> a</c><00:35:16.820><c> brother</c><00:35:17.000><c> in</c><00:35:17.260><c> Christ.</c>

00:35:18.460 --> 00:35:19.539
And<00:35:18.639><c> so</c><00:35:18.760><c> he</c><00:35:18.820><c> tells</c><00:35:19.039><c> him</c><00:35:19.159><c> to</c><00:35:19.260><c> go</c><00:35:19.280><c> and</c><00:35:19.360><c> he</c><00:35:19.440><c> says,</c>

00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:20.340
no,<00:35:19.699><c> I'm</c><00:35:19.860><c> not</c><00:35:20.059><c> going.</c>

00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:21.239
Three<00:35:20.900><c> reasons.</c>

00:35:21.340 --> 00:35:23.260
One,<00:35:22.000><c> I</c><00:35:22.139><c> know</c><00:35:22.320><c> why</c><00:35:22.500><c> you're</c><00:35:22.639><c> sending</c><00:35:22.800><c> me</c><00:35:22.980><c> there.</c>

00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:25.079
If<00:35:23.679><c> you</c><00:35:23.880><c> send</c><00:35:23.980><c> me</c><00:35:24.159><c> there,</c><00:35:24.300><c> they</c><00:35:24.440><c> could</c><00:35:24.619><c> repent.</c>

00:35:25.539 --> 00:35:26.820
These<00:35:25.800><c> people</c><00:35:26.039><c> are</c><00:35:26.159><c> going</c><00:35:26.260><c> to</c><00:35:26.440><c> crush</c><00:35:26.559><c> us.</c>

00:35:26.980 --> 00:35:28.579
Look<00:35:27.199><c> at</c><00:35:27.340><c> the</c><00:35:27.559><c> prosperity</c><00:35:28.019><c> we</c><00:35:28.380><c> have.</c>

00:35:28.900 --> 00:35:30.639
Do<00:35:29.119><c> you</c><00:35:29.380><c> think</c><00:35:29.500><c> they're</c><00:35:29.699><c> going</c><00:35:29.800><c> to</c><00:35:29.920><c> let</c><00:35:30.019><c> that</c><00:35:30.340><c> pass?</c>

00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:31.860
They'll<00:35:31.219><c> wipe</c><00:35:31.320><c> us</c><00:35:31.599><c> out.</c>

00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:33.699
I'm<00:35:32.340><c> not</c><00:35:32.519><c> going</c><00:35:32.739><c> there.</c>

00:35:34.019 --> 00:35:35.639
If<00:35:34.440><c> after</c><00:35:34.860><c> all</c><00:35:35.219><c> these</c><00:35:35.480><c> years</c>

00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:37.739
that<00:35:35.800><c> I</c><00:35:35.940><c> have</c><00:35:36.139><c> been</c><00:35:36.420><c> working</c><00:35:36.780><c> with</c><00:35:37.079><c> my</c><00:35:37.340><c> people,</c>

00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:39.980
you're<00:35:38.300><c> sending</c><00:35:38.519><c> me</c><00:35:38.760><c> there</c><00:35:38.960><c> to</c><00:35:39.119><c> talk</c><00:35:39.460><c> to</c><00:35:39.699><c> them</c>

00:35:39.980 --> 00:35:43.900
so<00:35:40.280><c> that</c><00:35:40.760><c> these</c><00:35:41.400><c> evil</c><00:35:42.059><c> rotten</c><00:35:43.059><c> gentiles</c>

00:35:43.900 --> 00:35:45.099
could<00:35:44.280><c> come</c><00:35:44.480><c> and</c><00:35:44.659><c> destroy</c><00:35:44.960><c> us.</c>

00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:46.639
I'm<00:35:45.239><c> not</c><00:35:45.420><c> going</c><00:35:45.579><c> to</c><00:35:45.699><c> do</c><00:35:45.820><c> it.</c>

00:35:46.860 --> 00:35:48.019
One<00:35:47.079><c> reason.</c>

00:35:48.519 --> 00:35:49.739
Another<00:35:48.760><c> reason.</c>

00:35:50.380 --> 00:35:53.960
It<00:35:50.500><c> would</c><00:35:50.719><c> reflect</c><00:35:51.139><c> very</c><00:35:51.619><c> poorly</c><00:35:52.059><c> on</c><00:35:52.940><c> Israel.</c>

00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:57.980
God's<00:35:54.860><c> chosen,</c><00:35:55.539><c> circumcised</c><00:35:56.380><c> Jewish</c><00:35:56.840><c> people.</c>

00:35:58.099 --> 00:36:02.079
If<00:35:58.219><c> uncircumcised,</c><00:35:59.619><c> wretched</c><00:35:59.860><c> gentiles</c><00:36:00.679><c> turned</c><00:36:01.179><c> and</c><00:36:01.420><c> repented.</c>

00:36:02.340 --> 00:36:04.019
Imagine<00:36:02.679><c> how</c><00:36:02.840><c> that</c><00:36:02.980><c> would</c><00:36:03.139><c> make</c><00:36:03.320><c> Israel</c><00:36:03.760><c> look.</c>

00:36:04.019 --> 00:36:08.239
It<00:36:04.260><c> would</c><00:36:04.440><c> even</c><00:36:04.880><c> damage</c><00:36:05.360><c> their</c><00:36:05.639><c> chances</c><00:36:06.179><c> of</c><00:36:06.599><c> ever</c><00:36:06.820><c> turning</c><00:36:07.119><c> around.</c>

00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:11.099
That's<00:36:09.360><c> how</c><00:36:09.719><c> Jonah</c><00:36:09.960><c> may</c><00:36:10.179><c> have</c><00:36:10.380><c> felt.</c>

00:36:11.380 --> 00:36:14.780
And<00:36:11.539><c> the</c><00:36:11.760><c> third</c><00:36:11.960><c> reason</c><00:36:12.239><c> is</c><00:36:12.480><c> a</c><00:36:12.659><c> selfish</c><00:36:13.000><c> reason,</c><00:36:13.699><c> potentially.</c>

00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:16.639
If<00:36:15.300><c> I</c><00:36:15.599><c> say</c><00:36:15.739><c> that</c><00:36:15.860><c> they're</c><00:36:16.079><c> going</c><00:36:16.159><c> to</c><00:36:16.280><c> be</c><00:36:16.500><c> destroyed</c>

00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:18.340
and<00:36:16.719><c> they</c><00:36:16.860><c> don't</c><00:36:16.980><c> get</c><00:36:17.239><c> destroyed,</c>

00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:20.659
I'll<00:36:19.139><c> look</c><00:36:19.239><c> like</c><00:36:19.480><c> a</c><00:36:19.780><c> fool.</c>

00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:23.900
I<00:36:21.079><c> will</c><00:36:21.280><c> look</c><00:36:21.440><c> like</c><00:36:21.719><c> a</c><00:36:21.880><c> prophet</c><00:36:22.019><c> that's</c><00:36:22.420><c> a</c><00:36:22.579><c> false</c><00:36:22.960><c> prophet.</c>

00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:26.320
I'm<00:36:24.519><c> not</c><00:36:24.719><c> going</c><00:36:24.860><c> to</c><00:36:25.000><c> let</c><00:36:25.099><c> that</c><00:36:25.380><c> happen.</c>

00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:30.159
So<00:36:26.739><c> he</c><00:36:27.079><c> turned</c><00:36:27.420><c> and</c><00:36:27.599><c> he</c><00:36:27.820><c> ran</c><00:36:27.980><c> away</c><00:36:28.460><c> to</c><00:36:29.260><c> go</c><00:36:29.480><c> to</c><00:36:29.699><c> Tarshish.</c>

00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:33.980
He<00:36:30.260><c> was</c><00:36:30.719><c> going</c><00:36:30.860><c> to</c><00:36:31.260><c> go</c><00:36:31.400><c> as</c><00:36:31.760><c> far</c><00:36:32.059><c> west</c><00:36:32.500><c> as</c><00:36:33.420><c> he</c><00:36:33.679><c> could</c>

00:36:33.980 --> 00:36:37.639
from<00:36:34.719><c> Assyria,</c><00:36:35.280><c> which</c><00:36:35.440><c> was</c><00:36:35.760><c> in</c><00:36:36.019><c> there,</c><00:36:36.400><c> far</c><00:36:36.619><c> east.</c>

00:36:38.300 --> 00:36:40.280

00:36:40.619 --> 00:36:44.239
the<00:36:40.760><c> only</c><00:36:40.980><c> way</c><00:36:41.219><c> God</c><00:36:41.519><c> could</c><00:36:41.739><c> get</c><00:36:41.920><c> him</c><00:36:42.179><c> back</c><00:36:42.619><c> was</c><00:36:43.039><c> to</c><00:36:43.239><c> kill</c><00:36:43.360><c> him.</c>

00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:45.860
And<00:36:44.559><c> he</c><00:36:44.719><c> was</c><00:36:44.940><c> prepared</c><00:36:45.179><c> to</c><00:36:45.320><c> be</c><00:36:45.500><c> killed</c>

00:36:45.860 --> 00:36:49.000
rather<00:36:46.480><c> than</c><00:36:46.679><c> to</c><00:36:46.860><c> go</c><00:36:46.980><c> and</c><00:36:47.219><c> deliver</c><00:36:47.440><c> that</c><00:36:47.719><c> message</c><00:36:48.000><c> to</c><00:36:48.179><c> Nineveh.</c>

00:36:49.019 --> 00:36:51.199
What<00:36:49.219><c> does</c><00:36:49.579><c> the</c><00:36:49.820><c> Almighty</c><00:36:50.340><c> God</c><00:36:50.739><c> do?</c>

00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:52.340
All<00:36:51.860><c> right.</c>

00:36:52.500 --> 00:36:56.460
But<00:36:53.000><c> Jonah</c><00:36:54.099><c> rose</c><00:36:54.420><c> up</c><00:36:54.820><c> to</c><00:36:55.000><c> flee</c><00:36:55.260><c> from</c><00:36:55.639><c> Tarshish.</c>

00:36:56.699 --> 00:36:57.380
Verse<00:36:56.960><c> four.</c>

00:36:57.380 --> 00:36:59.099
But<00:36:58.079><c> the</c><00:36:58.559><c> Lord.</c>

00:36:59.420 --> 00:37:01.480
And<00:36:59.739><c> there's</c><00:36:59.920><c> this</c><00:37:00.119><c> countering</c><00:37:00.659><c> every</c><00:37:01.079><c> time.</c>

00:37:01.699 --> 00:37:02.460
But<00:37:01.840><c> Jonah</c><00:37:02.079><c> does</c><00:37:02.260><c> this.</c>

00:37:02.619 --> 00:37:04.800
But<00:37:02.900><c> the</c><00:37:03.119><c> Lord</c><00:37:03.320><c> does</c><00:37:03.519><c> something</c><00:37:03.820><c> else.</c>

00:37:05.059 --> 00:37:06.519
And<00:37:05.260><c> every</c><00:37:05.420><c> time</c><00:37:05.559><c> he</c><00:37:05.659><c> tries</c><00:37:05.880><c> to</c><00:37:06.059><c> make</c><00:37:06.199><c> a</c><00:37:06.340><c> move,</c>

00:37:06.860 --> 00:37:08.079
the<00:37:06.960><c> Lord</c><00:37:07.159><c> does</c><00:37:07.400><c> something</c><00:37:07.699><c> else.</c>

00:37:08.340 --> 00:37:10.380
Just<00:37:08.539><c> like</c><00:37:08.760><c> you</c><00:37:08.960><c> and</c><00:37:09.039><c> me</c><00:37:09.179><c> in</c><00:37:09.380><c> our</c><00:37:09.539><c> lives.</c>

00:37:10.460 --> 00:37:11.940
I<00:37:10.539><c> want</c><00:37:10.699><c> this</c><00:37:11.000><c> job.</c>

00:37:12.179 --> 00:37:13.719
I<00:37:12.280><c> want</c><00:37:12.460><c> it</c><00:37:12.780><c> badly.</c>

00:37:13.820 --> 00:37:15.280
It's<00:37:14.019><c> a</c><00:37:14.119><c> big</c><00:37:14.280><c> promotion.</c>

00:37:15.300 --> 00:37:17.119
There's<00:37:15.579><c> a</c><00:37:15.840><c> big</c><00:37:16.059><c> financial</c><00:37:16.659><c> gain.</c>

00:37:17.380 --> 00:37:18.800
We<00:37:17.579><c> can</c><00:37:17.760><c> buy</c><00:37:17.960><c> a</c><00:37:18.159><c> bigger</c><00:37:18.300><c> house.</c>

00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:23.079
We<00:37:19.159><c> can</c><00:37:19.400><c> finally</c><00:37:19.699><c> fix</c><00:37:19.940><c> that</c><00:37:20.340><c> rotten</c><00:37:20.719><c> tin</c><00:37:21.079><c> can</c><00:37:21.360><c> sardine</c><00:37:22.039><c> can</c><00:37:22.300><c> car</c><00:37:22.619><c> we</c><00:37:22.880><c> have,</c>

00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:25.420
throw<00:37:23.539><c> it</c><00:37:23.739><c> in</c><00:37:23.820><c> the</c><00:37:23.960><c> garbage</c><00:37:24.199><c> and</c><00:37:24.320><c> get</c><00:37:24.480><c> something</c><00:37:24.739><c> that</c><00:37:25.019><c> works.</c>

00:37:25.420 --> 00:37:27.099
We<00:37:26.019><c> can</c><00:37:26.199><c> do</c><00:37:26.280><c> all</c><00:37:26.500><c> of</c><00:37:26.639><c> these</c><00:37:26.820><c> things.</c>

00:37:27.300 --> 00:37:29.539
And<00:37:27.480><c> God</c><00:37:27.739><c> keeps</c><00:37:28.300><c> putting</c><00:37:28.599><c> up</c><00:37:28.840><c> the</c><00:37:29.039><c> roadblocks.</c>

00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:31.820
But<00:37:30.059><c> I</c><00:37:30.320><c> do</c><00:37:30.539><c> this</c><00:37:30.760><c> to</c><00:37:30.900><c> try</c><00:37:31.119><c> and</c><00:37:31.219><c> get</c><00:37:31.360><c> that</c><00:37:31.619><c> job.</c>

00:37:32.139 --> 00:37:34.320
But<00:37:32.440><c> the</c><00:37:33.239><c> Lord</c><00:37:33.400><c> does</c><00:37:33.559><c> something</c><00:37:33.900><c> else.</c>

00:37:34.579 --> 00:37:36.480
And<00:37:34.739><c> he</c><00:37:34.840><c> keeps</c><00:37:35.119><c> blocking</c><00:37:35.500><c> every</c><00:37:36.119><c> attempt</c>

00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:39.539
for<00:37:36.780><c> me</c><00:37:36.980><c> to</c><00:37:37.239><c> get</c><00:37:37.400><c> what's</c><00:37:37.679><c> going</c><00:37:37.820><c> to</c><00:37:38.059><c> kill</c><00:37:38.199><c> me</c><00:37:38.420><c> in</c><00:37:38.559><c> the</c><00:37:38.699><c> end.</c>

00:37:39.980 --> 00:37:41.579
If<00:37:40.239><c> I</c><00:37:40.400><c> get</c><00:37:40.559><c> it.</c>

00:37:41.820 --> 00:37:42.260
Right?

00:37:42.739 --> 00:37:46.519
That's<00:37:42.940><c> what</c><00:37:43.059><c> God</c><00:37:43.300><c> does</c><00:37:43.699><c> out</c><00:37:43.940><c> of</c><00:37:44.139><c> love</c><00:37:44.599><c> for</c><00:37:44.860><c> this</c><00:37:45.260><c> little</c><00:37:45.559><c> man,</c>

00:37:46.539 --> 00:37:49.420
this<00:37:46.739><c> little</c><00:37:47.119><c> old</c><00:37:47.639><c> brother,</c><00:37:48.679><c> Jonah.</c>

00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:52.780
But<00:37:50.199><c> the</c><00:37:50.440><c> Lord</c><00:37:50.820><c> sent</c><00:37:51.360><c> out</c><00:37:51.599><c> a</c><00:37:51.760><c> great</c><00:37:51.920><c> wind</c><00:37:52.059><c> into</c><00:37:52.280><c> the</c><00:37:52.500><c> sea.</c>

00:37:52.780 --> 00:37:58.239
The<00:37:53.820><c> words</c><00:37:54.039><c> mean</c><00:37:54.599><c> he</c><00:37:56.039><c> hurled</c><00:37:56.539><c> it</c><00:37:56.980><c> onto</c><00:37:57.179><c> the</c><00:37:57.480><c> sea.</c>

00:37:58.260 --> 00:38:03.500
The<00:37:58.400><c> same</c><00:37:58.579><c> word</c><00:37:58.780><c> is</c><00:37:59.059><c> used</c><00:37:59.460><c> of</c><00:38:00.139><c> Saul</c><00:38:00.460><c> hurling</c><00:38:01.179><c> his</c><00:38:01.659><c> spear</c><00:38:02.079><c> against</c><00:38:02.880><c> the</c><00:38:03.179><c> wall.</c>

00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:05.679
And<00:38:04.059><c> what</c><00:38:04.719><c> does</c><00:38:04.860><c> it</c><00:38:05.039><c> say</c><00:38:05.199><c> ultimately?</c>

00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:07.980
God<00:38:06.380><c> does</c><00:38:06.659><c> things</c><00:38:06.860><c> in</c><00:38:07.099><c> a</c><00:38:07.179><c> haphazard</c><00:38:07.639><c> way.</c>

00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:11.900
And<00:38:08.320><c> they</c><00:38:08.519><c> sort</c><00:38:08.639><c> of</c><00:38:08.960><c> evolve</c><00:38:09.840><c> in</c><00:38:10.280><c> a</c><00:38:10.619><c> cloudy</c><00:38:11.179><c> direction.</c>

00:38:12.179 --> 00:38:16.719
And<00:38:12.619><c> somehow</c><00:38:13.179><c> we</c><00:38:14.380><c> sort</c><00:38:14.579><c> of</c><00:38:14.860><c> stumble</c><00:38:15.480><c> in</c><00:38:15.760><c> the</c><00:38:15.980><c> direction</c><00:38:16.260><c> of</c><00:38:16.460><c> where</c><00:38:16.559><c> he</c>

00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:17.460
wants<00:38:16.920><c> us</c><00:38:17.119><c> to</c><00:38:17.300><c> go.</c>

00:38:17.659 --> 00:38:18.619
That's<00:38:17.920><c> not</c><00:38:18.019><c> what</c><00:38:18.119><c> it's</c><00:38:18.420><c> saying.</c>

00:38:18.619 --> 00:38:25.300
It's<00:38:19.539><c> saying</c><00:38:19.820><c> God,</c><00:38:21.320><c> with</c><00:38:21.619><c> a</c><00:38:22.099><c> calculated,</c><00:38:23.800><c> accurate</c><00:38:24.159><c> eye,</c>

00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:28.619
worked<00:38:25.719><c> out</c><00:38:26.219><c> precisely</c><00:38:27.019><c> and</c><00:38:27.400><c> exactly</c><00:38:27.840><c> what</c><00:38:28.059><c> was</c><00:38:28.340><c> needed</c>

00:38:28.619 --> 00:38:33.320
at<00:38:29.219><c> that</c><00:38:29.599><c> precise</c><00:38:30.139><c> moment</c><00:38:30.539><c> in</c><00:38:30.820><c> time</c><00:38:31.159><c> for</c><00:38:31.559><c> that</c><00:38:32.199><c> one</c><00:38:32.659><c> individual</c>

00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:35.920
and<00:38:33.900><c> everybody</c><00:38:34.260><c> else</c><00:38:34.480><c> that</c><00:38:34.579><c> was</c><00:38:34.739><c> around</c><00:38:35.000><c> him.</c>

00:38:36.019 --> 00:38:39.199
So<00:38:36.219><c> he</c><00:38:36.599><c> hurls</c><00:38:37.099><c> a</c><00:38:37.460><c> storm</c><00:38:37.800><c> right</c><00:38:38.380><c> onto</c><00:38:38.619><c> the</c><00:38:38.860><c> waters</c>

00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:41.880
where<00:38:40.039><c> Jonah</c><00:38:40.440><c> is</c><00:38:40.820><c> running</c><00:38:41.039><c> away</c><00:38:41.320><c> from</c><00:38:41.519><c> him.</c>

00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:43.039
That's<00:38:42.500><c> what</c><00:38:42.599><c> he</c><00:38:42.739><c> does.</c>

00:38:43.460 --> 00:38:45.719
Has<00:38:43.679><c> he</c><00:38:43.880><c> hurled</c><00:38:44.039><c> trouble</c><00:38:44.320><c> into</c><00:38:44.539><c> your</c><00:38:44.820><c> life?</c>

00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:47.760
He's<00:38:46.159><c> hurled</c><00:38:46.320><c> it</c><00:38:46.480><c> into</c><00:38:46.599><c> my</c><00:38:46.860><c> life.</c>

00:38:47.820 --> 00:38:50.260
He<00:38:48.300><c> must</c><00:38:48.579><c> have</c><00:38:48.780><c> hurled</c><00:38:48.960><c> it</c><00:38:49.059><c> into</c><00:38:49.280><c> some</c><00:38:49.480><c> of</c><00:38:49.639><c> your</c><00:38:49.820><c> lives.</c>

00:38:50.500 --> 00:38:51.800
And<00:38:50.719><c> you</c><00:38:50.820><c> know</c><00:38:51.000><c> how</c><00:38:51.179><c> it</c><00:38:51.400><c> feels.</c>

00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:56.039

They<00:41:06.219><c> threw</c><00:41:06.500><c> out</c><00:41:06.780><c> of</c><00:41:06.920><c> the</c><00:41:07.099><c> boat</c>

00:41:07.219 --> 00:41:08.739
anything<00:41:07.579><c> that</c><00:41:07.699><c> was</c><00:41:07.980><c> weighing</c><00:41:08.159><c> them</c><00:41:08.440><c> down.</c>

00:41:09.099 --> 00:41:10.900
It's<00:41:09.139><c> one</c><00:41:09.280><c> of</c><00:41:09.380><c> the</c><00:41:09.480><c> things</c><00:41:09.679><c> that</c><00:41:09.880><c> we</c><00:41:10.019><c> do</c><00:41:10.179><c> in</c><00:41:10.400><c> our</c><00:41:10.559><c> lives</c>

00:41:10.900 --> 00:41:13.219
when<00:41:11.460><c> God</c><00:41:11.719><c> puts</c><00:41:11.940><c> us</c><00:41:12.159><c> through</c><00:41:12.360><c> trouble.</c>

00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:15.360
We<00:41:13.480><c> look</c><00:41:13.639><c> at</c><00:41:13.739><c> what</c><00:41:13.860><c> we</c><00:41:14.039><c> can</c><00:41:14.159><c> throw</c><00:41:14.360><c> out</c><00:41:14.599><c> of</c><00:41:14.780><c> our</c><00:41:15.000><c> lives</c>

00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:19.460

00:41:19.460 --> 00:41:21.679
so<00:41:20.119><c> that</c><00:41:20.280><c> we</c><00:41:20.420><c> can</c><00:41:20.699><c> somehow</c><00:41:21.059><c> preserve</c>

00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:24.940
that<00:41:22.219><c> fleeting</c><00:41:22.659><c> image</c><00:41:22.920><c> of</c><00:41:23.119><c> what</c><00:41:23.420><c> the</c><00:41:23.719><c> kingdom</c><00:41:23.960><c> will</c><00:41:24.260><c> give</c><00:41:24.380><c> us,</c>

00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:29.300
What<00:41:27.880><c> do</c><00:41:28.059><c> we</c><00:41:28.179><c> need</c><00:41:28.300><c> to</c><00:41:28.480><c> throw</c><00:41:28.599><c> out</c><00:41:28.719><c> of</c><00:41:28.880><c> our</c><00:41:29.059><c> lives?</c>

00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:30.780
They<00:41:29.739><c> threw</c><00:41:29.840><c> out</c><00:41:30.019><c> all</c><00:41:30.260><c> the</c><00:41:30.440><c> wares.</c>

00:41:31.139 --> 00:41:33.619
Anything<00:41:31.579><c> that</c><00:41:32.340><c> was</c><00:41:32.619><c> not</c><00:41:32.860><c> significant</c>

00:41:33.619 --> 00:41:35.880
was<00:41:34.119><c> thrown</c><00:41:34.340><c> out</c><00:41:34.539><c> of</c><00:41:34.679><c> their</c><00:41:34.860><c> lives</c><00:41:35.039><c> to</c><00:41:35.260><c> lighten</c><00:41:35.519><c> the</c><00:41:35.679><c> load.</c>

00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:37.719
Jonah<00:41:36.639><c> was</c><00:41:36.920><c> gone</c><00:41:37.260><c> down</c>

00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:40.340

00:41:40.340 --> 00:41:41.840

00:41:42.260 --> 00:41:43.579
And<00:41:42.400><c> it</c><00:41:42.539><c> says,</c>

00:41:43.900 --> 00:41:46.380
the<00:41:43.920><c> shipmaster,</c><00:41:45.019><c> the</c><00:41:45.300><c> Gentile,</c>

00:41:47.739 --> 00:41:49.440
evil<00:41:48.340><c> shipmaster,</c>

00:41:49.860 --> 00:41:51.059
heathen<00:41:50.460><c> idolater,</c>

00:41:55.880 --> 00:41:57.940
Wonderful,<00:41:56.360><c> isn't</c><00:41:56.480><c> it?</c>

00:41:58.579 --> 00:41:59.679
Remarkable.

00:42:00.099 --> 00:42:02.619
Have<00:42:00.260><c> you</c><00:42:00.340><c> ever</c><00:42:00.460><c> had</c><00:42:00.619><c> a</c><00:42:00.760><c> situation</c><00:42:01.239><c> where</c><00:42:01.480><c> somebody</c><00:42:01.760><c> from</c><00:42:01.940><c> the</c><00:42:02.079><c> outside</c>

00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:11.940
It's<00:42:10.880><c> happened</c><00:42:11.019><c> to</c><00:42:11.219><c> me.</c>

00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:13.980
That's<00:42:12.400><c> what</c><00:42:12.599><c> Jonah</c><00:42:12.780><c> felt</c><00:42:13.039><c> like.</c>

00:42:14.219 --> 00:42:15.780
I<00:42:14.400><c> should</c><00:42:14.599><c> have</c><00:42:14.719><c> known</c><00:42:14.900><c> this.</c>

00:42:15.940 --> 00:42:16.820

00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:26.139
This<00:42:24.539><c> woman</c><00:42:24.820><c> is</c><00:42:25.000><c> in</c><00:42:25.219><c> trouble.</c>

00:42:33.679 --> 00:42:36.059
What's<00:42:34.199><c> wrong</c><00:42:34.340><c> with</c><00:42:34.519><c> me</c><00:42:34.739><c> is</c><00:42:34.820><c> what</c><00:42:34.940><c> I</c><00:42:35.019><c> have</c><00:42:35.159><c> to</c><00:42:35.260><c> ask</c><00:42:35.380><c> myself.</c>

00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:37.800
That<00:42:36.619><c> I'm</c><00:42:36.840><c> down</c><00:42:37.139><c> and</c><00:42:37.320><c> asleep</c>

00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:46.039
And<00:42:44.280><c> he</c><00:42:44.360><c> says,</c><00:42:44.900><c> get</c><00:42:45.079><c> up!</c>

00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:48.400
What<00:42:46.559><c> do</c><00:42:46.840><c> you</c><00:42:47.139><c> mean,</c><00:42:47.659><c> oh</c><00:42:47.900><c> sleeper?</c>

Get<00:42:49.139><c> up</c><00:42:49.320><c> and</c><00:42:49.480><c> call</c><00:42:49.719><c> upon</c><00:42:50.000><c> your</c><00:42:50.260><c> God,</c>

00:42:50.820 --> 00:42:52.559
if<00:42:51.000><c> so</c><00:42:51.199><c> be</c><00:42:51.360><c> that</c><00:42:51.539><c> God</c><00:42:51.780><c> will</c><00:42:52.019><c> think</c><00:42:52.199><c> upon</c><00:42:52.400><c> us</c>

00:42:54.139 --> 00:42:55.619
And<00:42:54.340><c> then</c><00:42:54.539><c> all</c><00:42:54.860><c> of</c><00:42:54.980><c> the</c><00:42:55.179><c> mariners,</c>

00:42:59.739 --> 00:43:01.179
We'll<00:43:00.199><c> finish</c><00:43:00.460><c> this</c>

00:43:01.179 --> 00:43:02.920
in<00:43:01.460><c> the</c><00:43:01.619><c> next</c><00:43:01.920><c> session.</c>

00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:31.300
I<00:43:29.719><c> think</c><00:43:29.980><c> that</c><00:43:30.099><c> was</c><00:43:30.199><c> the</c><00:43:30.300><c> fastest</c><00:43:30.639><c> 45</c><00:43:31.039><c> minutes</c>

00:43:31.300 --> 00:43:33.400
I've<00:43:31.500><c> ever</c><00:43:31.739><c> encountered</c><00:43:32.119><c> in</c><00:43:32.280><c> this</c><00:43:32.400><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:37.980
But<00:43:35.800><c> there's</c><00:43:35.940><c> more</c><00:43:36.099><c> to</c><00:43:36.300><c> come,</c><00:43:36.619><c> thank</c><00:43:36.800><c> God,</c><00:43:37.019><c> this</c><00:43:37.239><c> afternoon.</c>

00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:44.599
Thank<00:43:43.719><c> you,</c><00:43:43.860><c> brother.</c>

00:43:47.179 --> 00:43:52.739
The<00:43:47.659><c> lunch</c><00:43:47.780><c> will</c><00:43:49.059><c> begin</c><00:43:50.780><c> around</c><00:43:51.460><c> 12</c><00:43:51.699><c>.15,</c>

00:43:53.519 --> 00:43:56.000
but<00:43:54.000><c> you'll</c><00:43:54.260><c> be</c><00:43:54.500><c> called</c><00:43:54.739><c> for</c><00:43:54.960><c> lunch.</c>

00:43:56.840 --> 00:43:58.539
So<00:43:57.179><c> don't</c><00:43:57.420><c> go</c><00:43:57.619><c> downstairs</c><00:43:57.940><c> yet,</c>
