Except<00:29:09.279><c> for</c><00:29:09.440><c> the</c><00:29:09.559><c> fact</c><00:29:09.680><c> that</c><00:29:09.900><c> he</c><00:29:10.079><c> prophesied</c>

00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:13.680

in<00:29:10.680><c> the</c><00:29:10.799><c> days</c><00:29:10.920><c> of</c><00:29:11.119><c> Jotham,</c><00:29:11.960><c> Ahaz,</c><00:29:12.359><c> and</c><00:29:12.619><c> Hezekiah.</c>

00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:15.400

I've<00:29:15.660><c> come</c><00:29:15.759><c> to</c><00:29:15.900><c> the</c><00:29:16.019><c> realization</c><00:29:16.400><c> that</c><00:29:16.740><c> this</c><00:29:17.059><c> period</c><00:29:17.279><c> of</c><00:29:17.480><c> time</c>

00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:20.339

00:29:20.359 --> 00:29:23.599

Ahaz<00:29:20.720><c> was</c><00:29:20.960><c> the</c><00:29:21.180><c> head</c><00:29:21.319><c> of</c><00:29:21.500><c> Baal</c><00:29:21.740><c> worship</c><00:29:22.180><c> in</c><00:29:22.799><c> Judah.</c>

00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:25.660
x
And<00:29:24.220><c> so</c><00:29:24.319><c> the</c><00:29:24.440><c> question,</c><00:29:24.839><c> who</c><00:29:24.940><c> was</c><00:29:25.160><c> like</c><00:29:25.339><c> God,</c>

00:29:25.700 --> 00:29:29.859
x
is<00:29:25.980><c> very</c><00:29:27.059><c> timely</c><00:29:27.579><c> at</c><00:29:29.039><c> this</c><00:29:29.240><c> time</c><00:29:29.380><c> in</c><00:29:29.599><c> history</c>

00:29:29.859 --> 00:29:33.799
x
because<00:29:30.460><c> so</c><00:29:30.940><c> many</c><00:29:31.099><c> people</c><00:29:31.319><c> thought</c><00:29:31.599><c> Baal</c><00:29:32.500><c> was</c><00:29:32.759><c> like</c><00:29:33.039><c> God.</c>

00:29:34.140 --> 00:29:35.400
x
So<00:29:34.380><c> it's</c><00:29:34.539><c> not</c><00:29:34.640><c> a</c><00:29:34.799><c> rhetorical</c><00:29:35.119><c> question</c>

00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:37.779

in<00:29:35.640><c> the</c><00:29:35.799><c> context</c><00:29:36.099><c> that</c><00:29:36.500><c> it</c><00:29:36.640><c> is</c><00:29:36.859><c> here.</c>

00:29:40.299 --> 00:29:41.059

Do<00:29:40.440><c> you</c><00:29:40.480><c> know</c><00:29:40.500><c> what</c><00:29:40.599><c> the</c><00:29:40.619><c> name,</c>

00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:43.299

do<00:29:41.720><c> you</c><00:29:41.759><c> know</c><00:29:41.819><c> what</c><00:29:42.000><c> Morisheth</c><00:29:42.420><c> means?</c>

00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:44.000
x
You<00:29:43.900><c> don't.</c>

00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:44.700
x
I<00:29:44.200><c> had</c><00:29:44.339><c> to</c><00:29:44.460><c> look</c><00:29:44.539><c> it</c><00:29:44.619><c> up.</c>

00:29:44.779 --> 00:29:46.220
x
I<00:29:44.799><c> didn't</c><00:29:44.980><c> know</c><00:29:45.079><c> what</c><00:29:45.160><c> it</c><00:29:45.240><c> meant.</c>

00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:48.059
x
It<00:29:46.980><c> means</c><00:29:47.140><c> possession.</c>

00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:51.119
x
So<00:29:49.680><c> we</c><00:29:49.779><c> have</c><00:29:49.900><c> an</c><00:29:50.099><c> idea</c><00:29:50.279><c> of</c><00:29:50.400><c> where</c><00:29:50.539><c> Morisheth</c><00:29:50.920><c> is</c>

00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:52.119
x
because<00:29:51.380><c> of</c><00:29:51.519><c> verse</c><00:29:51.700><c> 14.</c>

00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:55.039
x
Verse<00:29:52.380><c> 14</c><00:29:52.779><c> says,</c><00:29:53.400><c> Morisheth</c><00:29:54.119><c> Gath.</c>

00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:56.759
x
And<00:29:55.319><c> so</c><00:29:55.460><c> that</c><00:29:55.660><c> means</c><00:29:55.880><c> possession</c><00:29:56.220><c> of</c><00:29:56.480><c> Gath.</c>

00:29:56.900 --> 00:29:59.000
x
And<00:29:56.940><c> we</c><00:29:57.000><c> know</c><00:29:57.119><c> Gath</c><00:29:57.460><c> is</c><00:29:57.720><c> in</c><00:29:58.319><c> the</c><00:29:58.500><c> Philistines.</c>

00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:01.279
x
So<00:29:59.619><c> Morisheth</c><00:30:00.059><c> presumably</c><00:30:00.599><c> was</c><00:30:00.839><c> somewhere</c>

00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:04.579
x
in<00:30:01.859><c> between</c><00:30:02.200><c> Judah</c><00:30:02.640><c> and</c><00:30:03.400><c> Philistia.</c>

00:30:04.740 --> 00:30:06.200
x
And<00:30:05.180><c> it</c><00:30:05.259><c> was</c><00:30:05.400><c> actually</c><00:30:05.640><c> one</c><00:30:05.779><c> of</c><00:30:05.819><c> those</c><00:30:06.039><c> times</c>

00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:08.059

that<00:30:06.400><c> sort</c><00:30:06.519><c> of</c><00:30:06.640><c> got</c><00:30:06.740><c> pulled</c><00:30:06.980><c> back</c><00:30:07.259><c> and</c><00:30:07.519><c> forth</c>

00:30:08.059 --> 00:30:12.240
x
based<00:30:08.599><c> upon</c><00:30:09.359><c> who</c><00:30:11.000><c> was</c><00:30:11.220><c> in</c><00:30:11.400><c> control</c><00:30:11.619><c> at</c><00:30:11.799><c> that</c><00:30:11.980><c> time.</c>

00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:14.819
x
So<00:30:12.480><c> sometimes</c><00:30:12.779><c> it's</c><00:30:13.059><c> controlled</c><00:30:13.359><c> by</c><00:30:14.259><c> the</c><00:30:14.420><c> Philistines.</c>

00:30:14.859 --> 00:30:16.380
x
Sometimes<00:30:15.220><c> it's</c><00:30:15.579><c> controlled</c><00:30:15.819><c> by</c><00:30:16.099><c> Judah.</c>

00:30:16.619 --> 00:30:18.440
x
And<00:30:16.759><c> it</c><00:30:16.799><c> gets</c><00:30:16.960><c> pulled</c><00:30:17.140><c> back</c><00:30:17.400><c> and</c><00:30:17.640><c> forth.</c>

00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:21.660

00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:31.500

And<00:30:28.779><c> so</c><00:30:28.940><c> Morisheth</c><00:30:29.240><c> is</c><00:30:29.460><c> actually</c><00:30:30.039><c> a</c><00:30:30.579><c> perfect</c><00:30:30.900><c> analogy</c>
