Now<00:08:43.500><c> it's</c><00:08:43.740><c> obvious</c><00:08:44.019><c> of</c><00:08:44.200><c> course</c><00:08:44.399><c> that</c><00:08:44.539><c> he</c><00:08:44.679><c> would</c><00:08:44.860><c> have</c><00:08:45.039><c> had</c><00:08:45.179><c> to</c>

00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:45.940
be<00:08:45.419><c> given</c><00:08:45.559><c> a</c><00:08:45.779><c> bullet</c>

00:08:45.940 --> 00:08:49.639
because<00:08:46.259><c> he</c><00:08:46.379><c> didn't</c><00:08:46.659><c> keep</c><00:08:46.960><c> a</c><00:08:47.059><c> flock</c><00:08:47.220><c> of</c><00:08:47.440><c> cattle</c><00:08:47.740><c> or</c><00:08:48.100><c> a</c><00:08:48.340><c> herd</c><00:08:48.419><c> of</c><00:08:48.600><c> cattle.</c>

00:08:49.860 --> 00:08:51.779
A<00:08:50.059><c> flock</c><00:08:50.059><c> of</c><00:08:50.320><c> birds,</c><00:08:50.600><c> isn't</c><00:08:50.759><c> it?</c>

00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:53.039
But<00:08:52.019><c> he</c><00:08:52.039><c> didn't</c><00:08:52.279><c> keep</c><00:08:52.460><c> a</c><00:08:52.580><c> herd</c><00:08:52.700><c> of</c><00:08:52.919><c> cattle.</c>

00:08:53.179 --> 00:08:54.340
And<00:08:53.279><c> Elijah</c><00:08:53.440><c> didn't</c><00:08:53.639><c> have</c><00:08:53.820><c> any</c><00:08:54.039><c> possessions.</c>

00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:56.519
Obviously<00:08:55.039><c> they</c><00:08:55.240><c> would</c><00:08:55.419><c> have</c><00:08:55.559><c> had</c><00:08:55.679><c> to</c><00:08:55.779><c> have</c><00:08:55.940><c> given</c><00:08:55.940><c> him</c><00:08:56.240><c> a</c><00:08:56.440><c> bullet</c>

00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.200
but<00:08:56.639><c> they</c><00:08:56.779><c> didn't</c><00:08:57.019><c> have</c><00:08:57.259><c> to</c><00:08:57.340><c> give</c><00:08:57.480><c> the</c><00:08:57.720><c> prophets</c><00:08:57.919><c> of</c><00:08:58.120><c> Baal</c><00:08:58.299><c> a</c><00:08:58.299><c> bullet.</c>

00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:01.580
I<00:09:00.440><c> have</c><00:09:00.559><c> could</c><00:09:00.740><c> have</c><00:09:00.919><c> supplied</c><00:09:01.179><c> that</c>

00:09:01.580 --> 00:09:04.700
and<00:09:02.080><c> perhaps</c><00:09:02.440><c> was</c><00:09:02.639><c> in</c><00:09:02.759><c> the</c><00:09:02.899><c> best</c><00:09:03.080><c> position</c><00:09:03.360><c> to</c><00:09:03.600><c> do</c><00:09:03.820><c> so.</c>

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.139
But<00:09:05.440><c> Elijah's</c><00:09:05.879><c> proposition</c><00:09:06.320><c> was</c><00:09:06.879><c> that</c><00:09:08.159><c> the</c><00:09:08.440><c> people</c><00:09:08.820><c> should</c>

00:09:09.139 --> 00:09:10.000
supply<00:09:09.539><c> the</c><00:09:09.799><c> bullets.</c>

00:09:10.019 --> 00:09:12.860
Now<00:09:10.259><c> that's</c><00:09:10.720><c> important,</c><00:09:11.659><c> remember</c><00:09:12.000><c> it.</c>

00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.940
And<00:09:13.679><c> then</c><00:09:13.960><c> he</c><00:09:14.120><c> proposed</c><00:09:14.860><c> cutting</c><00:09:15.539><c> the</c><00:09:15.820><c> bullet</c><00:09:15.980><c> in</c><00:09:16.340><c> pieces</c><00:09:16.679><c> and</c>

00:09:16.940 --> 00:09:17.779

00:09:17.980 --> 00:09:19.799
Now<00:09:18.059><c> that's</c><00:09:18.360><c> the</c><00:09:18.519><c> language,</c><00:09:19.200><c> brethren</c><00:09:19.200><c> and</c><00:09:19.379><c> sisters,</c><00:09:19.519><c> of</c><00:09:19.700><c> the</c>

00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.419
We<00:09:22.240><c> won't</c><00:09:22.419><c> turn</c><00:09:22.620><c> this</c><00:09:22.779><c> up</c><00:09:22.980><c> but</c><00:09:23.059><c> in</c><00:09:23.279><c> the</c><00:09:23.360><c> first</c><00:09:23.679><c> chapter</c><00:09:24.000><c> of</c><00:09:24.179><c> Leviticus,</c>

00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:56.220
And<00:12:54.360><c> he</c><00:12:54.480><c> said,</c><00:12:54.779><c> which</c><00:12:54.779><c> is</c><00:12:54.960><c> the</c><00:12:55.100><c> first</c><00:12:55.340><c> commandment</c><00:12:55.820><c> of</c><00:12:55.980><c> the</c><00:12:56.080><c> Lord?</c>

00:13:05.100 --> 00:13:08.639
And<00:13:05.200><c> the</c><00:13:05.500><c> scribe</c><00:13:05.879><c> said,</c><00:13:06.940><c> Master,</c><00:13:07.600><c> thou</c><00:13:07.679><c> hast</c><00:13:08.000><c> well</c><00:13:08.440><c> said,</c>

00:13:20.620 --> 00:13:21.059
Why?

00:13:21.059 --> 00:13:24.059
Because<00:13:21.559><c> the</c><00:13:21.779><c> record</c><00:13:22.059><c> said</c><00:13:22.299><c> when</c><00:13:22.480><c> the</c><00:13:22.679><c> Lord</c><00:13:22.980><c> saw</c><00:13:23.419><c> that</c><00:13:23.860><c> he</c>

00:15:07.340 --> 00:15:10.539
But<00:15:07.539><c> Elijah's</c><00:15:08.179><c> prayer</c><00:15:08.320><c> was</c><00:15:08.779><c> full</c><00:15:09.059><c> of</c><00:15:09.220><c> the</c><00:15:09.480><c> people,</c>

00:15:18.700 --> 00:15:20.879

and<00:17:19.559><c> saying</c><00:17:19.740><c> that</c><00:17:19.900><c> the</c><00:17:20.039><c> God</c><00:17:20.180><c> that</c><00:17:20.359><c> answers</c><00:17:20.539><c> by</c><00:17:20.920><c> fire</c>

00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:24.079
was<00:17:21.400><c> being</c><00:17:21.680><c> more</c><00:17:22.019><c> than</c><00:17:22.299><c> fair,</c><00:17:22.579><c> because</c><00:17:22.759><c> he</c><00:17:22.980><c> was</c><00:17:23.200><c> the</c><00:17:23.420><c> God</c><00:17:23.579><c> of</c><00:17:23.839><c> fire,</c>

00:17:24.420 --> 00:17:27.839
the<00:17:24.839><c> sudden</c><00:17:25.240><c> God,</c><00:17:25.900><c> the</c><00:17:26.079><c> controller</c><00:17:26.480><c> of</c><00:17:26.700><c> all</c><00:17:26.980><c> heat.</c>

00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:31.359
So<00:17:28.720><c> he</c><00:17:28.799><c> was</c><00:17:28.980><c> a</c><00:17:29.059><c> very</c><00:17:29.420><c> fair</c><00:17:29.599><c> contest</c><00:17:30.019><c> to</c><00:17:30.220><c> this</c><00:17:30.500><c> stage.</c>

00:17:31.779 --> 00:17:36.460
But<00:17:31.980><c> Baal</c><00:17:32.180><c> had</c><00:17:32.359><c> this</c><00:17:32.579><c> advantage</c><00:17:33.160><c> that</c><00:17:34.380><c> the</c><00:17:34.680><c> whole</c><00:17:35.200><c> atmosphere,</c>

00:17:36.579 --> 00:17:38.299
that<00:17:36.680><c> the</c><00:17:36.799><c> people</c><00:17:36.940><c> must</c><00:17:37.160><c> be</c><00:17:37.420><c> wiping</c><00:17:37.720><c> their</c><00:17:38.059><c> brow,</c>

00:17:38.299 --> 00:17:40.259
42<00:17:38.799><c> months</c><00:17:39.119><c> of</c><00:17:39.400><c> drought.</c>

00:17:40.460 --> 00:17:43.740
He'd<00:17:40.559><c> only</c><00:17:40.740><c> wanted</c><00:17:40.880><c> the</c><00:17:41.119><c> drop</c><00:17:41.279><c> of</c><00:17:41.519><c> a</c><00:17:41.660><c> match</c><00:17:42.079><c> and</c><00:17:42.700><c> up</c><00:17:42.859><c> and</c><00:17:43.059><c> go.</c>

00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:45.819
And<00:17:44.220><c> they</c><00:17:44.359><c> thought,</c><00:17:44.640><c> well,</c><00:17:44.640><c> he's</c><00:17:44.859><c> in</c><00:17:45.039><c> front.</c>

00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:49.680
But<00:17:46.539><c> you</c><00:17:46.660><c> know,</c><00:17:47.799><c> Elijah</c><00:17:48.200><c> says,</c><00:17:48.880><c> I</c><00:17:48.960><c> will</c><00:17:49.299><c> call.</c>

00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:51.940
I<00:17:50.200><c> will</c><00:17:50.559><c> call</c><00:17:50.920><c> on</c><00:17:51.119><c> the</c><00:17:51.220><c> name</c><00:17:51.440><c> of</c><00:17:51.740><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:53.200
Now<00:17:52.299><c> here,</c><00:17:52.680><c> brethren</c><00:17:52.819><c> and</c><00:17:53.079><c> sisters,</c>

00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:57.119
I<00:17:53.380><c> think</c><00:17:53.599><c> that</c><00:17:53.779><c> it's</c><00:17:54.660><c> good</c><00:17:54.980><c> to</c><00:17:55.279><c> bear</c><00:17:55.480><c> in</c><00:17:55.680><c> our</c><00:17:55.980><c> mind</c>

00:17:57.500 --> 00:18:01.000
the<00:17:58.059><c> fact</c><00:17:58.279><c> that</c><00:17:58.660><c> the</c><00:17:58.880><c> Lord</c><00:17:59.160><c> here</c><00:17:59.460><c> is</c><00:17:59.920><c> Yahweh,</c>

00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:05.180
because<00:18:01.400><c> you</c><00:18:01.579><c> see,</c><00:18:03.160><c> Israel</c><00:18:03.640><c> had</c><00:18:03.920><c> gotten</c><00:18:04.039><c> accustomed</c>

00:18:05.420 --> 00:18:10.140
to<00:18:05.859><c> calling</c><00:18:06.279><c> God</c><00:18:06.759><c> Lord,</c><00:18:08.380><c> which</c><00:18:08.519><c> in</c><00:18:08.720><c> the</c><00:18:08.859><c> Hebrew</c><00:18:09.079><c> is</c><00:18:09.359><c> Baal.</c>

00:18:11.380 --> 00:18:13.500
And<00:18:11.720><c> we</c><00:18:12.099><c> find,</c><00:18:12.420><c> and</c><00:18:12.519><c> we're</c><00:18:12.759><c> going</c><00:18:12.779><c> to</c><00:18:12.900><c> find</c><00:18:13.000><c> at</c><00:18:13.140><c> the</c><00:18:13.180><c> end</c><00:18:13.380><c> of</c>

00:18:13.500 --> 00:18:13.880
this<00:18:13.700><c> talk,</c>

00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:17.259
I<00:18:14.380><c> want</c><00:18:14.579><c> to</c><00:18:14.619><c> leave</c><00:18:14.819><c> the</c><00:18:14.960><c> prophecy</c><00:18:15.200><c> of</c><00:18:15.500><c> Hosea</c><00:18:15.640><c> until</c><00:18:16.039><c> last.</c>

00:18:17.700 --> 00:18:18.960
But<00:18:17.819><c> when</c><00:18:17.920><c> we</c><00:18:18.099><c> turn</c><00:18:18.240><c> it</c><00:18:18.400><c> up</c><00:18:18.599><c> finally,</c>

00:18:18.980 --> 00:18:21.920
I'm<00:18:19.180><c> going</c><00:18:19.299><c> to</c><00:18:19.460><c> show</c><00:18:19.660><c> you</c><00:18:19.859><c> how</c><00:18:20.079><c> it</c><00:18:20.319><c> fits</c><00:18:20.480><c> this</c><00:18:20.819><c> whole</c><00:18:21.039><c> scene.</c>

00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:24.720
And<00:18:22.700><c> Hosea</c><00:18:23.079><c> points</c><00:18:23.440><c> out</c><00:18:23.740><c> that</c><00:18:23.980><c> in</c><00:18:24.200><c> the</c><00:18:24.420><c> future,</c>

00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:27.259
God<00:18:25.000><c> will</c><00:18:25.259><c> insist</c><00:18:25.640><c> upon</c><00:18:25.920><c> being</c><00:18:26.259><c> called</c><00:18:26.619><c> Ishai,</c>

00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:29.279
which<00:18:27.700><c> means</c><00:18:28.019><c> my</c><00:18:28.319><c> husband.</c>

00:18:30.180 --> 00:18:32.440
Because<00:18:30.420><c> I</c><00:18:30.599><c> don't</c><00:18:30.880><c> want</c><00:18:31.019><c> you</c><00:18:31.200><c> to</c><00:18:31.359><c> call</c><00:18:31.460><c> me</c><00:18:32.000><c> Baalai,</c>

00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:34.680
because<00:18:32.859><c> you</c><00:18:33.079><c> get</c><00:18:33.319><c> confused.</c>

00:18:35.460 --> 00:18:36.880
Now<00:18:35.460><c> Elijah</c><00:18:35.619><c> made</c><00:18:35.859><c> the</c><00:18:36.039><c> issue</c><00:18:36.259><c> quite</c><00:18:36.619><c> clear,</c>

00:18:36.980 --> 00:18:39.140
and<00:18:37.059><c> I</c><00:18:37.200><c> can</c><00:18:37.599><c> well</c><00:18:37.900><c> and</c><00:18:38.119><c> truly</c><00:18:38.339><c> understand,</c>

00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:41.359
and<00:18:39.420><c> I</c><00:18:39.539><c> can</c><00:18:39.720><c> imagine</c><00:18:40.099><c> how</c><00:18:40.299><c> that</c><00:18:40.440><c> on</c><00:18:40.680><c> that</c><00:18:41.019><c> day,</c>

00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:44.140
he<00:18:41.660><c> would</c><00:18:41.819><c> have</c><00:18:41.960><c> enunciated</c><00:18:42.539><c> this</c><00:18:42.859><c> name</c><00:18:43.099><c> with</c><00:18:43.380><c> such</c><00:18:43.700><c> clarity</c>

00:18:44.140 --> 00:18:45.740
that<00:18:44.400><c> no</c><00:18:44.559><c> one</c><00:18:44.640><c> could</c><00:18:44.859><c> misunderstand</c><00:18:45.400><c> it.</c>

00:18:46.059 --> 00:18:49.039
I<00:18:46.400><c> will</c><00:18:46.759><c> call</c><00:18:47.059><c> upon</c><00:18:47.660><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:18:50.900 --> 00:18:52.079
Got<00:18:51.160><c> that?</c>

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:55.200
My<00:18:53.500><c> God</c><00:18:53.859><c> is</c><00:18:54.259><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:58.640
Now<00:18:55.660><c> he</c><00:18:55.799><c> made</c><00:18:55.960><c> that</c><00:18:56.319><c> abundantly</c><00:18:56.940><c> plain,</c><00:18:57.680><c> clear.</c>

00:18:58.759 --> 00:18:59.720
Everything<00:18:59.200><c> is</c><00:18:59.519><c> clear.</c>

00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:02.380
And<00:18:59.940><c> the</c><00:19:00.039><c> people</c><00:19:00.220><c> said,</c><00:19:01.500><c> right.</c>

00:19:02.700 --> 00:19:04.660
So<00:19:03.220><c> what</c><00:19:03.319><c> does</c><00:19:03.519><c> Elijah</c><00:19:03.799><c> do?</c>

00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:07.720
He<00:19:05.720><c> says</c><00:19:06.000><c> to</c><00:19:06.180><c> the</c><00:19:06.299><c> prophets</c><00:19:06.539><c> of</c><00:19:06.839><c> Baal,</c>

00:19:08.940 --> 00:19:12.900
you're<00:19:09.099><c> first,</c><00:19:11.279><c> because</c><00:19:11.680><c> you're</c><00:19:11.980><c> many.</c>

00:19:14.299 --> 00:19:16.940
It's<00:19:14.420><c> always</c><00:19:14.640><c> been</c><00:19:14.880><c> the</c><00:19:15.039><c> case,</c><00:19:15.440><c> hasn't</c><00:19:15.539><c> it,</c><00:19:15.720><c> brothers</c><00:19:15.900><c> and</c><00:19:16.019><c> sisters?</c>

00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:18.880
It's<00:19:17.359><c> never</c><00:19:17.579><c> been</c><00:19:17.700><c> any</c><00:19:17.880><c> different.</c>

00:19:19.339 --> 00:19:22.039
Baal's<00:19:19.839><c> prophets</c><00:19:19.980><c> are</c><00:19:20.279><c> always</c><00:19:20.680><c> the</c><00:19:20.839><c> more</c><00:19:21.079><c> numerous.</c>

00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:25.420
So<00:19:23.400><c> Elijah</c><00:19:23.720><c> says,</c><00:19:24.140><c> away</c><00:19:24.259><c> you</c><00:19:24.480><c> go.</c>

00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:27.740
The<00:19:26.000><c> field's</c><00:19:26.480><c> yours,</c><00:19:27.039><c> because</c><00:19:27.299><c> you're</c><00:19:27.599><c> many.</c>

00:19:27.779 --> 00:19:29.180
I<00:19:27.980><c> won't</c><00:19:28.240><c> interfere.</c>

00:19:30.019 --> 00:19:31.440
It's<00:19:30.220><c> all</c><00:19:30.440><c> yours.</c>

00:19:31.619 --> 00:19:34.240
And<00:19:32.059><c> there</c><00:19:32.279><c> they</c><00:19:32.500><c> had</c><00:19:32.740><c> the</c><00:19:32.940><c> sun</c><00:19:33.240><c> rising.</c>

00:19:35.099 --> 00:19:37.400
We<00:19:35.259><c> learned</c><00:19:35.579><c> that</c><00:19:35.700><c> it</c><00:19:35.799><c> was</c><00:19:36.480><c> morning,</c>

00:19:37.779 --> 00:19:39.119
perhaps<00:19:38.099><c> fairly</c><00:19:38.559><c> early</c><00:19:38.779><c> in</c><00:19:38.900><c> the</c><00:19:38.980><c> morning.</c>

00:19:39.140 --> 00:19:41.420
We're<00:19:39.279><c> not</c><00:19:39.480><c> sure</c><00:19:39.619><c> of</c><00:19:39.740><c> that,</c><00:19:39.880><c> but</c><00:19:40.079><c> no</c><00:19:40.279><c> doubt</c><00:19:40.460><c> it</c><00:19:40.700><c> was.</c>

00:19:42.140 --> 00:19:45.339
Sometime<00:19:42.579><c> in</c><00:19:42.759><c> the</c><00:19:42.920><c> morning</c><00:19:43.559><c> that</c><00:19:43.920><c> they</c><00:19:44.119><c> commenced.</c>

00:19:45.740 --> 00:19:48.839

00:27:45.740 --> 00:27:46.279
Ridiculous.

00:27:46.619 --> 00:27:49.069
Nobody<00:27:47.000><c> was</c><00:27:47.299><c> answering</c><00:27:47.539><c> these</c><00:27:47.839><c> prophets</c><00:27:48.019><c> of</c><00:27:48.299><c> Baal.</c>

old<00:28:12.680><c> one.</c>

00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:16.779

something<00:28:17.180><c> really</c><00:28:17.940><c> great.</c>

00:28:19.299 --> 00:28:22.819
The<00:28:19.559><c> order</c><00:28:19.759><c> of</c><00:28:20.200><c> Baal</c><00:28:20.339><c> was</c><00:28:20.740><c> absolutely</c><00:28:21.660><c> new.</c>

00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:27.940

00:28:28.740 --> 00:28:30.960
that<00:28:29.200><c> someone</c><00:28:29.519><c> had</c><00:28:29.759><c> pulled</c><00:28:29.900><c> down.</c>

00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:38.599
This<00:28:36.700><c> was</c><00:28:36.920><c> an</c><00:28:37.059><c> idea</c><00:28:37.380><c> that</c><00:28:37.660><c> Christian</c><00:28:37.859><c> Europeans</c><00:28:38.140><c> had</c><00:28:38.359><c> never</c>

00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:42.440
It<00:28:40.559><c> was</c><00:28:40.819><c> a</c><00:28:40.940><c> new</c><00:28:41.160><c> wind</c><00:28:41.299><c> of</c><00:28:41.640><c> doctrine.</c>

00:28:46.380 --> 00:28:48.579

But<00:30:45.480><c> in.</c>

00:30:46.039 --> 00:30:47.640

Don't<00:30:55.640><c> let</c><00:30:55.779><c> him</c><00:30:55.880><c> go,</c><00:30:56.200><c> I'm</c><00:30:56.200><c> talking</c><00:30:56.440><c> to</c><00:30:56.680><c> that</c><00:30:56.740><c> other</c><00:30:56.920><c> fella.</c>

00:30:58.019 --> 00:30:59.980
Yell<00:30:58.140><c> out</c><00:30:58.380><c> and</c><00:30:58.640><c> say,</c><00:30:59.099><c> yell,</c><00:30:59.680><c> yell,</c><00:30:59.680><c> yell.</c>

00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:01.779
Bowels,<00:31:00.819><c> be</c><00:31:00.940><c> here.</c>

00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:04.779
And<00:31:02.480><c> of</c><00:31:02.660><c> course,</c><00:31:03.019><c> these</c><00:31:03.240><c> stupid</c><00:31:03.619><c> idiots</c><00:31:03.960><c> dancing</c><00:31:04.440><c> around.</c>

00:31:05.099 --> 00:31:07.059
And<00:31:05.160><c> the</c><00:31:05.279><c> people</c><00:31:05.440><c> of</c><00:31:05.619><c> Israel,</c><00:31:05.900><c> solemn,</c><00:31:06.579><c> brethren</c><00:31:06.680><c> and</c><00:31:06.900><c> sisters,</c>

00:31:07.180 --> 00:31:07.720
watching<00:31:07.519><c> this.</c>

00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:10.200
And<00:31:08.220><c> you</c><00:31:08.259><c> can</c><00:31:08.440><c> imagine</c><00:31:08.700><c> those</c><00:31:09.000><c> with</c><00:31:09.240><c> leanings</c><00:31:09.559><c> towards</c><00:31:09.920><c> Baal,</c>

00:31:10.299 --> 00:31:12.640
thinking<00:31:10.460><c> to</c><00:31:10.619><c> themselves,</c><00:31:11.319><c> well,</c><00:31:11.519><c> why</c><00:31:11.740><c> don't</c><00:31:11.900><c> they</c><00:31:12.099><c> call</c><00:31:12.279><c> out</c><00:31:12.480><c> louder?</c>

00:31:12.819 --> 00:31:13.660
Oh,<00:31:12.980><c> no,</c><00:31:13.079><c> that's</c><00:31:13.299><c> crazy.</c>

00:31:13.859 --> 00:31:14.980
Well,<00:31:14.119><c> why</c><00:31:14.400><c> don't</c><00:31:14.700><c> they?</c>

00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:16.680
And<00:31:15.359><c> Elijah</c><00:31:15.720><c> mocking</c><00:31:16.359><c> them.</c>

00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:19.960
The<00:31:17.440><c> word</c><00:31:17.779><c> mocking</c><00:31:18.119><c> means</c><00:31:18.460><c> to</c><00:31:18.799><c> play</c><00:31:19.019><c> with</c><00:31:19.200><c> them.</c>

00:31:20.339 --> 00:31:21.720
He<00:31:20.440><c> was</c><00:31:20.700><c> playing</c><00:31:21.059><c> with</c><00:31:21.299><c> them.</c>

00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:25.220
But<00:31:22.019><c> not</c><00:31:22.259><c> for</c><00:31:22.380><c> their</c><00:31:22.700><c> sake,</c><00:31:23.160><c> but</c><00:31:23.319><c> the</c><00:31:23.500><c> sake</c><00:31:23.640><c> of</c><00:31:23.779><c> the</c><00:31:23.940><c> people</c><00:31:24.160><c> of</c><00:31:24.420><c> God.</c>

00:31:25.460 --> 00:31:27.799
Then<00:31:25.599><c> he</c><00:31:25.759><c> said,</c><00:31:26.640><c> well,</c><00:31:27.019><c> if</c><00:31:27.079><c> he's</c><00:31:27.279><c> not</c><00:31:27.599><c> talking</c>

00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:29.559
and<00:31:27.960><c> you</c><00:31:28.079><c> can't</c><00:31:28.460><c> butt</c><00:31:28.640><c> into</c><00:31:28.819><c> the</c><00:31:29.059><c> conversation,</c>

00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:31.299
perhaps<00:31:30.119><c> he's</c><00:31:30.440><c> pursuing.</c>

00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:33.680
Now,<00:31:32.099><c> do</c><00:31:32.220><c> you</c><00:31:32.220><c> know</c><00:31:32.339><c> what</c><00:31:32.359><c> that</c><00:31:32.579><c> word</c><00:31:32.759><c> means?</c>

00:31:34.500 --> 00:31:36.859
The<00:31:34.740><c> word</c><00:31:35.039><c> literally</c><00:31:35.400><c> means,</c><00:31:35.779><c> the</c><00:31:35.880><c> word</c><00:31:36.160><c> pursuing</c><00:31:36.559><c> here</c>

00:31:36.859 --> 00:31:42.000
is<00:31:37.079><c> a</c><00:31:37.279><c> word</c><00:31:37.480><c> which</c><00:31:37.799><c> means</c><00:31:38.460><c> to</c><00:31:38.960><c> withdraw</c><00:31:39.599><c> into</c><00:31:40.119><c> a</c><00:31:40.460><c> private</c><00:31:40.799><c> place.</c>

00:31:44.299 --> 00:31:47.700
And<00:31:44.900><c> it's</c><00:31:45.500><c> a</c><00:31:45.640><c> pretty</c><00:31:45.940><c> fair</c><00:31:46.220><c> inference</c><00:31:46.619><c> from</c><00:31:46.839><c> that</c><00:31:47.200><c> term</c>

00:31:47.700 --> 00:31:51.319
that<00:31:48.779><c> Elijah</c><00:31:49.140><c> is</c><00:31:49.480><c> accusing</c><00:31:49.799><c> Baal</c><00:31:50.220><c> of</c><00:31:50.480><c> some</c><00:31:50.660><c> of</c><00:31:50.740><c> the</c><00:31:50.819><c> most</c>

00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:53.259
ungodlike<00:31:52.099><c> qualities.</c>

00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:56.819
Perhaps<00:31:54.940><c> the</c><00:31:55.200><c> reason</c><00:31:55.660><c> that</c><00:31:55.819><c> he's</c><00:31:55.940><c> not</c><00:31:56.319><c> talking</c><00:31:56.599><c> to</c>

00:31:56.819 --> 00:32:00.119
is<00:31:57.079><c> that</c><00:31:57.859><c> he's</c><00:31:58.339><c> occupied</c><00:31:58.940><c> at</c><00:31:59.180><c> the</c><00:31:59.299><c> moment.</c>

00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:03.359
Now,<00:32:01.119><c> that's</c><00:32:01.440><c> the</c><00:32:01.559><c> meaning</c><00:32:01.740><c> of</c><00:32:01.940><c> that</c><00:32:02.099><c> Hebrew</c><00:32:02.380><c> word.</c>

00:32:04.140 --> 00:32:06.759
Now,<00:32:04.279><c> you</c><00:32:04.500><c> imagine</c><00:32:04.980><c> the</c><00:32:05.180><c> implications</c><00:32:05.660><c> of</c><00:32:05.960><c> that.</c>

00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:09.980
Most<00:32:08.240><c> ungodlike</c><00:32:08.839><c> qualities.</c>

00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:11.980
Or<00:32:10.460><c> perhaps</c><00:32:10.700><c> he's</c><00:32:10.900><c> on</c><00:32:11.160><c> a</c><00:32:11.240><c> journey</c><00:32:11.480><c> to</c><00:32:11.480><c> a</c><00:32:11.480><c> place</c>

00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:15.480
where<00:32:13.039><c> he</c><00:32:13.240><c> says,</c><00:32:13.660><c> Elijah,</c><00:32:14.000><c> he</c><00:32:14.079><c> might</c><00:32:14.279><c> be</c><00:32:14.440><c> asleep.</c>

00:32:15.660 --> 00:32:16.539
What?

00:32:17.700 --> 00:32:20.140
The<00:32:18.220><c> sun</c><00:32:18.640><c> was</c><00:32:18.839><c> shining,</c><00:32:19.299><c> brethren</c><00:32:19.500><c> and</c><00:32:19.759><c> sisters.</c>

00:32:20.619 --> 00:32:21.460
The<00:32:20.700><c> sun</c><00:32:20.920><c> was</c><00:32:21.180><c> shining.</c>

00:32:21.700 --> 00:32:22.240
He's<00:32:21.859><c> asleep.</c>

00:32:22.579 --> 00:32:25.900
You<00:32:22.579><c> know,</c><00:32:22.960><c> the</c><00:32:23.140><c> psalm</c><00:32:23.400><c> says,</c><00:32:24.259><c> he</c><00:32:24.420><c> that</c><00:32:24.740><c> keepeth</c><00:32:25.180><c> Israel</c>

00:32:25.900 --> 00:32:28.400
neither<00:32:26.420><c> slumbers</c><00:32:27.000><c> nor</c><00:32:27.480><c> sleeps.</c>

00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:31.059
And<00:32:29.519><c> here</c><00:32:29.720><c> was</c><00:32:30.000><c> Baal,</c><00:32:30.299><c> it</c><00:32:30.299><c> wasn't</c><00:32:30.500><c> night</c><00:32:30.880><c> time.</c>

00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:33.319
It<00:32:31.480><c> was</c><00:32:31.660><c> at</c><00:32:31.779><c> the</c><00:32:31.900><c> very</c><00:32:32.220><c> zenith</c><00:32:32.460><c> of</c><00:32:32.539><c> his</c><00:32:32.859><c> power.</c>

00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:36.660
And<00:32:33.680><c> Elijah</c><00:32:34.059><c> is</c><00:32:34.339><c> suggesting</c><00:32:34.900><c> that</c><00:32:35.119><c> he's</c><00:32:35.359><c> got</c><00:32:35.640><c> time.</c>

00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:39.819
And<00:32:37.339><c> you</c><00:32:37.460><c> can</c><00:32:37.700><c> imagine</c><00:32:38.279><c> these</c><00:32:38.980><c> prophets</c><00:32:39.279><c> of</c><00:32:39.559><c> Baal,</c>

00:32:39.819 --> 00:32:42.500
they<00:32:40.019><c> were</c><00:32:40.240><c> whipped</c><00:32:40.460><c> up</c><00:32:40.720><c> into</c><00:32:41.039><c> a</c><00:32:41.220><c> mad</c><00:32:41.579><c> frenzy.</c>

00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:46.000
And<00:32:42.819><c> the</c><00:32:42.940><c> record</c><00:32:43.279><c> says</c><00:32:43.519><c> in</c><00:32:43.740><c> verse</c><00:32:43.900><c> 28,</c><00:32:44.640><c> they</c><00:32:44.920><c> did</c><00:32:45.299><c> cry</c><00:32:45.640><c> aloud.</c>

00:32:46.460 --> 00:32:47.279
They<00:32:46.640><c> went</c><00:32:46.839><c> crazy.</c>

00:32:47.420 --> 00:32:49.200
And<00:32:47.539><c> Elijah</c><00:32:47.839><c> whipped</c><00:32:48.200><c> them</c><00:32:48.380><c> up</c><00:32:48.500><c> into</c><00:32:48.720><c> a</c><00:32:48.960><c> frenzy.</c>

00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:50.779
And<00:32:49.319><c> you</c><00:32:49.400><c> can</c><00:32:49.519><c> imagine</c><00:32:49.720><c> him</c><00:32:49.960><c> standing</c><00:32:50.259><c> in</c><00:32:50.440><c> their</c><00:32:50.559><c> ring,</c>

00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:52.019
whipping<00:32:51.079><c> them</c><00:32:51.279><c> up</c><00:32:51.420><c> into</c><00:32:51.599><c> a</c><00:32:51.779><c> frenzy.</c>

00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:53.059
Gone,<00:32:52.839><c> fellas.</c>

00:32:53.460 --> 00:32:54.279
Gone,<00:32:53.900><c> fellas.</c>

00:32:54.539 --> 00:32:55.900
He's<00:32:54.920><c> talking</c><00:32:55.180><c> the</c><00:32:55.640><c> funny.</c>

00:32:56.099 --> 00:32:57.200
And<00:32:56.240><c> yell</c><00:32:56.380><c> out,</c><00:32:56.599><c> he'll</c><00:32:56.779><c> hear</c><00:32:56.980><c> you.</c>

00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:58.839
Hey,<00:32:57.700><c> look,</c><00:32:57.940><c> well,</c><00:32:58.519><c> who</c><00:32:58.640><c> knows?</c>

00:32:58.859 --> 00:33:00.500
He<00:32:59.000><c> might</c><00:32:59.180><c> be</c><00:32:59.400><c> occupied.</c>

00:33:01.099 --> 00:33:01.980
He's<00:33:01.539><c> asleep.</c>

00:33:02.180 --> 00:33:03.259
Oh,<00:33:02.579><c> he's</c><00:33:02.779><c> going</c><00:33:02.900><c> to</c><00:33:03.059><c> sleep.</c>

00:33:03.420 --> 00:33:04.380
And<00:33:03.599><c> he</c><00:33:03.960><c> prays.</c>

00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:06.880
And<00:33:05.160><c> then</c><00:33:05.740><c> they</c><00:33:06.019><c> started</c><00:33:06.299><c> this</c><00:33:06.599><c> practice,</c>

00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:07.720
brethren<00:33:07.200><c> and</c><00:33:07.460><c> sisters.</c>

00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:09.640
They<00:33:08.039><c> started</c><00:33:08.279><c> this</c><00:33:08.599><c> practice,</c><00:33:08.819><c> which</c><00:33:08.960><c> was</c><00:33:09.140><c> so</c><00:33:09.480><c> common</c>

00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:10.640
with<00:33:09.799><c> the</c><00:33:09.859><c> priests</c><00:33:10.160><c> of</c><00:33:10.420><c> Baal.</c>

00:33:10.900 --> 00:33:12.539

And<00:44:37.320><c> I</c><00:44:37.460><c> can</c><00:44:37.659><c> imagine</c><00:44:38.019><c> him</c><00:44:38.380><c> as</c><00:44:38.679><c> he</c><00:44:38.840><c> picked</c><00:44:39.019><c> up</c><00:44:39.219><c> those</c><00:44:39.460><c> 12</c><00:44:39.820><c> stones,</c>

00:44:40.619 --> 00:44:42.460
showing<00:44:40.800><c> each</c><00:44:41.199><c> one</c><00:44:41.380><c> to</c><00:44:41.519><c> the</c><00:44:41.679><c> people</c><00:44:41.940><c> in</c><00:44:42.159><c> turn.</c>

00:44:42.940 --> 00:44:43.820
And<00:44:43.039><c> they'd</c><00:44:43.239><c> all</c><00:44:43.440><c> count</c><00:44:43.599><c> them.</c>

00:44:43.920 --> 00:44:47.840
And<00:44:44.099><c> they</c><00:44:44.199><c> would</c><00:44:44.360><c> have</c><00:44:44.559><c> expected</c><00:44:44.940><c> him,</c><00:44:45.340><c> brethren</c><00:44:45.420><c> and</c><00:44:45.719><c> sisters,</c><00:44:45.920><c> to</c><00:44:46.280><c> stop</c><00:44:46.500><c> at</c><00:44:46.800><c> 10.</c>

00:44:48.340 --> 00:44:50.340
Because<00:44:48.780><c> he</c><00:44:48.900><c> was</c><00:44:49.139><c> the</c><00:44:49.340><c> prophet</c><00:44:49.460><c> of</c><00:44:49.619><c> the</c><00:44:49.780><c> 10</c><00:44:50.000><c> tribes.</c>

00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:52.719
They<00:44:50.880><c> were</c><00:44:51.440><c> divided</c><00:44:52.000><c> from</c><00:44:52.199><c> their</c><00:44:52.400><c> brethren.</c>

00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:57.619
There<00:44:53.460><c> was</c><00:44:54.519><c> a</c><00:44:54.639><c> fellowship</c><00:44:55.039><c> issue,</c><00:44:55.860><c> both</c><00:44:56.139><c> politically</c><00:44:56.480><c> and</c><00:44:56.760><c> religiously.</c>

00:44:57.860 --> 00:45:01.280
Elijah<00:44:58.059><c> didn't</c><00:44:58.320><c> pick</c><00:44:58.500><c> up</c><00:44:58.699><c> 10</c><00:44:58.980><c> stones,</c><00:44:59.260><c> he</c><00:44:59.480><c> picked</c><00:44:59.780><c> up</c><00:45:00.059><c> 12.</c>

00:45:02.119 --> 00:45:04.420
Yet<00:45:02.460><c> there</c><00:45:02.619><c> was</c><00:45:02.780><c> a</c><00:45:02.920><c> division</c><00:45:03.260><c> in</c><00:45:03.480><c> Israel.</c>

00:45:04.940 --> 00:45:06.880
But<00:45:05.079><c> he</c><00:45:05.219><c> wanted</c><00:45:05.440><c> them</c><00:45:05.760><c> all</c><00:45:06.099><c> to</c><00:45:06.239><c> come</c><00:45:06.400><c> together.</c>

00:45:07.380 --> 00:45:09.880
Not<00:45:07.559><c> just</c><00:45:07.800><c> some</c><00:45:08.059><c> of</c><00:45:08.159><c> them,</c><00:45:08.500><c> he</c><00:45:08.659><c> wanted</c><00:45:08.920><c> all</c><00:45:09.199><c> of</c><00:45:09.260><c> them</c><00:45:09.380><c> to</c><00:45:09.500><c> come</c><00:45:09.619><c> together.</c>

00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:14.079
And<00:45:10.300><c> then</c><00:45:10.659><c> it</c><00:45:11.019><c> says,</c><00:45:11.980><c> of</c><00:45:12.179><c> the</c><00:45:12.440><c> tribes</c><00:45:12.699><c> of</c><00:45:12.900><c> the</c><00:45:13.039><c> sons</c><00:45:13.440><c> of</c><00:45:13.760><c> Jacob.</c>

00:45:14.199 --> 00:45:15.820
Why<00:45:14.460><c> did</c><00:45:14.659><c> it</c><00:45:14.719><c> say</c><00:45:14.920><c> that,</c><00:45:15.280><c> brethren</c><00:45:15.440><c> and</c><00:45:15.639><c> sisters?</c>

00:45:16.179 --> 00:45:19.159
Because<00:45:16.500><c> Elijah</c><00:45:17.019><c> wished</c><00:45:17.679><c> to</c><00:45:17.940><c> impress</c><00:45:18.320><c> them.</c>

00:45:19.260 --> 00:45:21.500
But<00:45:19.400><c> it</c><00:45:19.539><c> wasn't</c><00:45:19.800><c> simply</c><00:45:20.139><c> the</c><00:45:20.340><c> 12</c><00:45:20.619><c> tribes</c><00:45:20.860><c> of</c><00:45:21.039><c> Israel,</c>

00:45:21.500 --> 00:45:25.119
but<00:45:22.079><c> every</c><00:45:22.440><c> one</c><00:45:22.539><c> of</c><00:45:22.659><c> those</c><00:45:22.940><c> tribes</c><00:45:23.159><c> had</c><00:45:23.460><c> a</c><00:45:23.699><c> common</c><00:45:23.980><c> father.</c>

00:45:26.019 --> 00:45:28.239
They<00:45:26.219><c> came</c><00:45:26.500><c> from</c><00:45:26.760><c> one</c><00:45:27.159><c> father.</c>

00:45:28.659 --> 00:45:31.679
They<00:45:28.860><c> were</c><00:45:29.139><c> brethren</c><00:45:29.500><c> in</c><00:45:29.739><c> every</c><00:45:30.179><c> sense</c><00:45:30.460><c> of</c><00:45:30.659><c> the</c><00:45:30.860><c> word.</c>

00:45:31.780 --> 00:45:34.179
Why<00:45:32.079><c> then</c><00:45:32.340><c> couldn't</c><00:45:32.519><c> they</c><00:45:32.760><c> see</c><00:45:33.000><c> eye</c><00:45:33.159><c> to</c><00:45:33.260><c> eye</c><00:45:33.400><c> to</c><00:45:33.500><c> work</c><00:45:33.679><c> together</c>

00:45:34.179 --> 00:45:37.539
for<00:45:34.460><c> the</c><00:45:34.659><c> cause</c><00:45:34.820><c> of</c><00:45:34.980><c> the</c><00:45:35.139><c> truth</c><00:45:35.340><c> on</c><00:45:35.800><c> the</c><00:45:36.019><c> basis</c><00:45:36.280><c> of</c><00:45:36.480><c> the</c><00:45:36.619><c> old</c><00:45:36.860><c> foundations?</c>

00:45:37.940 --> 00:45:38.940
Why<00:45:38.199><c> couldn't</c><00:45:38.699><c> they?</c>

00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:40.739
What<00:45:39.340><c> was</c><00:45:39.579><c> to</c><00:45:39.800><c> stop</c><00:45:39.980><c> them?</c>

00:45:41.260 --> 00:45:46.840
Personalities,<00:45:42.860><c> new</c><00:45:43.079><c> ideas,</c><00:45:45.000><c> mad</c><00:45:45.260><c> political</c><00:45:45.719><c> ambition,</c>

00:45:47.480 --> 00:45:49.199
crazy<00:45:47.760><c> idiots</c><00:45:48.059><c> like</c><00:45:48.280><c> the</c><00:45:48.480><c> prophets</c><00:45:48.699><c> of</c><00:45:48.940><c> Baal.</c>

00:45:49.199 --> 00:45:50.820
That's<00:45:49.940><c> why.</c>

00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:52.579
But<00:45:51.239><c> if</c><00:45:51.340><c> they</c><00:45:51.500><c> had</c><00:45:51.659><c> men</c><00:45:51.840><c> like</c><00:45:52.099><c> Elijah,</c>

00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:55.320
who<00:45:53.059><c> had</c><00:45:53.239><c> no</c><00:45:53.579><c> worldly</c><00:45:53.860><c> possessions</c><00:45:54.500><c> to</c><00:45:54.719><c> distract</c><00:45:55.079><c> him,</c>

00:45:55.559 --> 00:45:56.960
had<00:45:55.699><c> one</c><00:45:56.000><c> motive,</c><00:45:56.460><c> brethren</c><00:45:56.539><c> and</c><00:45:56.800><c> sisters,</c>

00:45:56.980 --> 00:45:58.599
and<00:45:57.139><c> that</c><00:45:57.239><c> is</c><00:45:57.360><c> to</c><00:45:57.500><c> bring</c><00:45:57.619><c> the</c><00:45:57.780><c> people</c><00:45:57.960><c> of</c><00:45:58.079><c> God</c><00:45:58.239><c> together,</c>

00:45:58.739 --> 00:45:59.980
it<00:45:58.920><c> would</c><00:45:59.099><c> have</c><00:45:59.340><c> never</c><00:45:59.579><c> happened.</c>

00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:02.000
And<00:46:00.260><c> he</c><00:46:00.340><c> took</c><00:46:00.559><c> 12</c><00:46:00.980><c> stones.</c>

00:46:02.340 --> 00:46:04.599
And<00:46:02.500><c> those</c><00:46:02.679><c> stones</c><00:46:02.940><c> represented</c><00:46:03.719><c> 12</c><00:46:04.340><c> boys</c>

00:46:04.599 --> 00:46:06.579
that<00:46:04.860><c> came</c><00:46:05.000><c> from</c><00:46:05.219><c> the</c><00:46:05.380><c> loins</c><00:46:05.519><c> of</c><00:46:05.800><c> one</c><00:46:06.139><c> father.</c>

00:46:06.940 --> 00:46:08.960
And<00:46:07.099><c> that</c><00:46:07.320><c> father,</c><00:46:08.340><c> God</c><00:46:08.460><c> said</c><00:46:08.679><c> to</c><00:46:08.760><c> him,</c>

00:46:09.219 --> 00:46:11.280
Israel<00:46:09.559><c> shall</c><00:46:09.760><c> be</c><00:46:10.000><c> thy</c><00:46:10.360><c> name.</c>

00:46:11.320 --> 00:46:13.219
You<00:46:11.480><c> know,</c><00:46:11.739><c> I</c><00:46:11.739><c> could</c><00:46:11.920><c> go</c><00:46:12.059><c> on</c><00:46:12.260><c> all</c><00:46:12.500><c> night</c><00:46:12.619><c> on</c><00:46:12.719><c> that</c><00:46:12.920><c> verse</c>

00:46:15.460 --> 00:46:17.880
Because<00:46:15.699><c> you</c><00:46:15.739><c> see,</c><00:46:16.019><c> what</c><00:46:16.099><c> Elijah</c><00:46:16.400><c> was</c><00:46:16.559><c> trying</c><00:46:16.739><c> to</c><00:46:16.920><c> show</c><00:46:17.039><c> the</c><00:46:17.280><c> people</c>

00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:21.300
was<00:46:18.340><c> that</c><00:46:18.699><c> Jacob</c><00:46:19.199><c> was</c><00:46:19.920><c> one</c><00:46:20.179><c> who</c><00:46:20.400><c> wrestled</c><00:46:20.739><c> with</c><00:46:20.960><c> God.</c>

00:46:21.559 --> 00:46:23.059
He<00:46:21.659><c> had</c><00:46:21.800><c> his</c><00:46:22.019><c> own</c><00:46:22.199><c> ideas,</c><00:46:22.880><c> too.</c>

00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:26.159
He<00:46:23.760><c> thought</c><00:46:23.920><c> he</c><00:46:25.099><c> could</c><00:46:25.500><c> gain</c><00:46:25.699><c> the</c><00:46:25.940><c> promises</c>

00:46:27.619 --> 00:46:29.900
He<00:46:27.800><c> thought</c><00:46:27.900><c> he</c><00:46:28.019><c> could</c><00:46:28.280><c> grasp</c><00:46:28.519><c> the</c><00:46:28.780><c> promise</c><00:46:28.940><c> as</c><00:46:29.159><c> the</c><00:46:29.340><c> supplicator.</c>

00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:33.079
But<00:46:30.360><c> he</c><00:46:30.500><c> had</c><00:46:30.760><c> to</c><00:46:31.079><c> learn</c><00:46:31.420><c> that</c><00:46:31.780><c> with</c><00:46:31.960><c> wrestling</c><00:46:32.320><c> with</c><00:46:32.579><c> God,</c>

00:46:33.420 --> 00:46:35.719

00:46:35.960 --> 00:46:37.360
he<00:46:36.260><c> found</c><00:46:36.539><c> the</c><00:46:36.760><c> truth</c><00:46:36.900><c> at</c><00:46:37.159><c> last.</c>

00:46:37.500 --> 00:46:39.900
And<00:46:37.579><c> God</c><00:46:37.820><c> impressed</c><00:46:38.260><c> him</c><00:46:38.400><c> that</c><00:46:38.480><c> he</c><00:46:38.579><c> was</c><00:46:38.780><c> now</c><00:46:39.079><c> a</c><00:46:39.300><c> prince</c><00:46:39.460><c> with</c><00:46:39.659><c> God.</c>

00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:42.480

00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:43.800
He<00:46:42.940><c> climbed</c><00:46:43.199><c> to</c><00:46:43.340><c> him</c><00:46:43.460><c> and</c><00:46:43.559><c> says,</c>

That's<00:47:16.059><c> a</c><00:47:16.139><c> peculiar</c><00:47:16.500><c> expression.</c>

00:47:18.460 --> 00:47:20.280

00:49:36.980 --> 00:49:38.239
Why?

00:49:38.280 --> 00:49:45.000
On<00:49:38.639><c> camel,</c><00:49:40.420><c> a</c><00:49:40.639><c> fruitful</c><00:49:41.000><c> field,</c><00:49:43.079><c> a</c><00:49:43.320><c> park,</c><00:49:43.900><c> a</c><00:49:44.019><c> garden.</c>

00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:05.699
Now<00:50:04.719><c> let's</c><00:50:04.940><c> work</c><00:50:05.119><c> that</c><00:50:05.340><c> out.</c>

00:50:05.699 --> 00:50:10.679

Significant,<00:50:13.940><c> isn't</c><00:50:13.940><c> it?</c>

00:50:14.659 --> 00:50:18.960
Four<00:50:15.079><c> barrels</c><00:50:15.420><c> of</c><00:50:15.719><c> water</c><00:50:16.059><c> three</c><00:50:16.559><c> times</c><00:50:17.019><c> to</c><00:50:17.519><c> saturate</c><00:50:18.019><c> that</c><00:50:18.239><c> offering.</c>

01:00:55.900 --> 01:00:57.280
and<01:00:56.059><c> stood</c><01:00:56.280><c> there</c><01:00:56.500><c> at</c><01:00:56.599><c> the</c><01:00:56.699><c> Brook</c><01:00:56.860><c> Kishon</c>

01:00:57.280 --> 01:00:59.420

01:00:59.739 --> 01:01:02.460
So<01:00:59.920><c> that</c><01:01:00.039><c> he</c><01:01:00.199><c> took</c><01:01:00.400><c> out</c><01:01:00.599><c> of</c><01:01:00.699><c> the</c><01:01:00.820><c> way</c><01:01:01.019><c> those</c><01:01:01.260><c> who</c><01:01:01.400><c> were</c><01:01:01.579><c> offensive</c><01:01:01.940><c> to</c><01:01:02.139><c> God.</c>

01:01:02.460 --> 01:01:05.059
Now<01:01:02.980><c> then,</c><01:01:03.420><c> what's</c><01:01:03.579><c> to</c><01:01:03.719><c> stop</c><01:01:03.920><c> God</c><01:01:04.159><c> from</c><01:01:04.360><c> blessing</c><01:01:04.619><c> Israel?</c>

01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:06.219
The<01:01:05.480><c> people</c><01:01:05.780><c> had</c><01:01:06.079><c> shouted,</c>

01:01:06.340 --> 01:01:07.380
We've<01:01:06.599><c> made</c><01:01:06.780><c> up</c><01:01:06.940><c> our</c><01:01:07.139><c> mind.</c>

01:01:07.579 --> 01:01:10.119
We<01:01:07.679><c> will</c><01:01:07.920><c> no</c><01:01:08.119><c> longer</c><01:01:08.340><c> hop</c><01:01:08.559><c> from</c><01:01:08.840><c> branch</c><01:01:09.039><c> to</c><01:01:09.260><c> branch.</c>

01:01:10.679 --> 01:01:12.400
Unquestionably<01:01:11.079><c> Yahweh</c><01:01:11.480><c> has</c><01:01:11.739><c> gone.</c>

01:01:12.659 --> 01:01:13.920
The<01:01:12.860><c> prophets</c><01:01:13.059><c> of</c><01:01:13.300><c> Baal</c><01:01:13.420><c> were</c><01:01:13.699><c> slain.</c>

01:01:14.039 --> 01:01:17.679
And<01:01:14.039><c> I</c><01:01:14.280><c> believe</c><01:01:14.579><c> with</c><01:01:14.800><c> the</c><01:01:15.260><c> full</c><01:01:15.639><c> authority</c><01:01:16.480><c> of</c><01:01:16.900><c> Ahab.</c>

01:01:18.059 --> 01:01:20.880
Ahab<01:01:18.380><c> was</c><01:01:18.599><c> invited</c><01:01:19.000><c> by</c><01:01:19.320><c> Elijah</c><01:01:19.559><c> to</c><01:01:19.760><c> come</c><01:01:19.960><c> up</c><01:01:20.159><c> again</c><01:01:20.320><c> to</c><01:01:20.460><c> the</c><01:01:20.579><c> mountain,</c>

01:01:21.280 --> 01:01:23.739
from<01:01:21.420><c> the</c><01:01:21.679><c> plain</c><01:01:21.800><c> to</c><01:01:21.960><c> go</c><01:01:22.079><c> up</c><01:01:22.239><c> again,</c><01:01:22.880><c> and</c><01:01:23.000><c> to</c><01:01:23.139><c> eat</c><01:01:23.320><c> and</c><01:01:23.440><c> to</c><01:01:23.619><c> drink.</c>

01:01:23.780 --> 01:01:25.400
And<01:01:23.860><c> I</c><01:01:23.980><c> don't</c><01:01:24.199><c> think,</c><01:01:24.340><c> of</c><01:01:24.519><c> course,</c><01:01:24.679><c> that</c><01:01:24.820><c> Elijah</c><01:01:25.059><c> was</c><01:01:25.199><c> saying,</c>

01:01:25.440 --> 01:01:26.440
Look,<01:01:25.840><c> everybody's</c><01:01:26.219><c> hungry.</c>

01:01:26.519 --> 01:01:27.079
Let's<01:01:26.659><c> have</c><01:01:26.699><c> a</c><01:01:26.880><c> meal.</c>

01:01:27.340 --> 01:01:29.340
I<01:01:27.519><c> think</c><01:01:27.619><c> on</c><01:01:27.800><c> this</c><01:01:27.920><c> occasion,</c><01:01:28.300><c> the</c><01:01:28.400><c> people</c><01:01:28.559><c> have</c><01:01:28.699><c> been</c><01:01:28.800><c> so</c><01:01:29.039><c> excited</c>

01:01:29.340 --> 01:01:30.860
that<01:01:29.500><c> they</c><01:01:29.679><c> never</c><01:01:29.800><c> would</c><01:01:29.900><c> have</c><01:01:30.039><c> thought</c><01:01:30.199><c> about</c><01:01:30.519><c> food.</c>

01:01:30.860 --> 01:01:33.920
But<01:01:31.219><c> the</c><01:01:31.420><c> idea</c><01:01:31.760><c> was</c><01:01:32.099><c> that</c><01:01:32.460><c> Ahab</c><01:01:32.739><c> was</c><01:01:33.000><c> representing</c><01:01:33.619><c> the</c>

01:01:33.920 --> 01:01:34.760
covenant<01:01:34.199><c> people.</c>

01:01:35.119 --> 01:01:37.679
The<01:01:35.219><c> king</c><01:01:35.480><c> should</c><01:01:35.739><c> partake</c><01:01:36.219><c> of</c><01:01:36.380><c> a</c><01:01:36.659><c> meal</c><01:01:36.820><c> of</c><01:01:37.079><c> sacrifice</c>

01:01:37.679 --> 01:01:40.360
to<01:01:38.179><c> show</c><01:01:38.360><c> that</c><01:01:38.559><c> the</c><01:01:38.739><c> people</c><01:01:38.940><c> had</c><01:01:39.219><c> returned</c><01:01:39.579><c> their</c><01:01:39.940><c> heart</c><01:01:40.139><c> back</c>

01:01:40.360 --> 01:01:41.460
to<01:01:40.539><c> the</c><01:01:40.739><c> covenant.</c>

01:01:41.739 --> 01:01:43.920
What<01:01:42.000><c> then</c><01:01:42.159><c> was</c><01:01:42.360><c> to</c><01:01:42.559><c> stop</c><01:01:42.820><c> rain,</c><01:01:43.300><c> brethren</c><01:01:43.380><c> and</c><01:01:43.659><c> sisters?</c>

01:01:44.360 --> 01:01:46.460
Everything<01:01:44.679><c> objectionable</c><01:01:45.320><c> had</c><01:01:45.480><c> been</c><01:01:45.639><c> swept</c><01:01:45.820><c> out</c><01:01:45.980><c> of</c><01:01:46.079><c> the</c><01:01:46.219><c> way.</c>

01:01:46.699 --> 01:01:48.739
The<01:01:46.940><c> people</c><01:01:47.159><c> had</c><01:01:47.480><c> given</c><01:01:47.659><c> their</c><01:01:47.960><c> allegiance</c><01:01:48.239><c> to</c><01:01:48.460><c> God.</c>

01:01:49.079 --> 01:01:51.019
The<01:01:49.260><c> king</c><01:01:49.559><c> had</c><01:01:49.760><c> eaten</c><01:01:49.920><c> up</c><01:01:50.119><c> the</c><01:01:50.300><c> people's</c><01:01:50.639><c> behalf.</c>

01:01:51.380 --> 01:01:52.519
And<01:01:51.599><c> Elijah</c><01:01:52.000><c> could</c><01:01:52.360><c> hear.</c>

01:01:52.679 --> 01:01:53.900
Nobody<01:01:52.860><c> else</c><01:01:53.119><c> could.</c>

01:01:54.320 --> 01:01:55.300
But<01:01:54.480><c> he</c><01:01:54.539><c> could</c><01:01:54.800><c> hear.</c>

01:01:55.760 --> 01:01:57.699
And<01:01:55.880><c> he</c><01:01:55.900><c> could</c><01:01:56.079><c> imagine</c><01:01:56.480><c> him</c><01:01:56.760><c> throbbing</c><01:01:57.039><c> with</c><01:01:57.260><c> excitement.</c>

01:01:57.699 --> 01:02:02.239
As<01:01:58.039><c> he</c><01:01:58.179><c> said</c><01:01:58.380><c> to</c><01:01:58.579><c> Ahab,</c><01:01:59.179><c> I</c><01:01:59.280><c> can</c><01:01:59.579><c> hear</c><01:01:59.739><c> the</c><01:02:00.099><c> roaring</c><01:02:00.699><c> of</c><01:02:00.960><c> a</c><01:02:01.099><c> great</c><01:02:01.360><c> rain.</c>

01:02:02.659 --> 01:02:04.380
And<01:02:02.800><c> he</c><01:02:02.840><c> could</c><01:02:03.079><c> hear</c><01:02:03.260><c> it,</c><01:02:03.599><c> brethren</c><01:02:03.719><c> and</c><01:02:03.840><c> sisters,</c><01:02:04.039><c> with</c><01:02:04.219><c> the</c>

01:02:05.239 --> 01:02:05.960
Now,<01:02:05.360><c> look</c><01:02:05.480><c> what</c><01:02:05.699><c> happened.</c>

01:02:06.119 --> 01:02:07.480
He<01:02:06.239><c> takes</c><01:02:06.480><c> the</c><01:02:06.659><c> king</c><01:02:06.800><c> up</c><01:02:06.960><c> on</c><01:02:07.059><c> the</c><01:02:07.199><c> mountain.</c>

01:02:07.920 --> 01:02:09.300
