00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:24.500
There<00:01:21.060><c> you've</c><00:01:21.400><c> got</c><00:01:21.719><c> the</c><00:01:22.180><c> possession</c><00:01:22.700><c> of</c><00:01:23.040><c> the</c><00:01:23.219><c> King</c><00:01:23.560><c> of</c><00:01:23.980><c> David</c>

00:01:24.500 --> 00:01:28.980
when<00:01:25.819><c> his</c><00:01:26.099><c> kingdom</c><00:01:26.579><c> was</c><00:01:27.280><c> at</c><00:01:27.500><c> its</c><00:01:27.780><c> zenith.</c>

00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.079
The<00:01:31.019><c> problem</c><00:01:31.280><c> was</c><00:01:31.480><c> it's</c><00:01:31.859><c> divided</c><00:01:32.239><c> now.</c>

00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:38.260
Judah<00:01:33.920><c> doesn't</c><00:01:34.260><c> occupy</c><00:01:34.719><c> all</c><00:01:34.879><c> it</c><00:01:35.079><c> should</c><00:01:35.280><c> do,</c><00:01:36.659><c> perhaps,</c><00:01:38.040><c> and</c>

00:01:38.260 --> 00:01:41.840

don't<00:01:42.060><c> occupy.</c>

00:01:43.019 --> 00:01:45.079
But<00:01:43.500><c> generally</c><00:01:43.819><c> speaking,</c><00:01:44.159><c> if</c><00:01:44.260><c> you</c><00:01:44.359><c> put</c><00:01:44.519><c> it</c><00:01:44.640><c> all</c><00:01:44.799><c> together,</c>

00:01:45.140 --> 00:01:48.079
you've<00:01:45.299><c> got</c><00:01:45.420><c> the</c><00:01:45.579><c> kingdom</c><00:01:46.019><c> of</c><00:01:46.640><c> God</c><00:01:46.980><c> there.</c>

00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:55.640
The<00:01:50.239><c> problem</c><00:01:50.620><c> was</c><00:01:52.760><c> Jezebel's</c><00:01:54.640><c> parents.</c>

00:01:56.140 --> 00:02:04.219
The<00:01:56.900><c> problem</c><00:01:57.379><c> for</c><00:01:58.239><c> Ahab</c><00:01:59.040><c> was</c><00:02:00.379><c> Jezebel's</c><00:02:01.480><c> father,</c><00:02:03.780><c> whose</c><00:02:03.959><c> name</c>

00:02:04.219 --> 00:02:09.699

00:02:12.300 --> 00:02:20.599
And<00:02:12.639><c> he</c><00:02:12.879><c> worshipped</c><00:02:13.360><c> in</c><00:02:13.520><c> a</c><00:02:13.780><c> place</c><00:02:14.460><c> called</c><00:02:15.060><c> Zidon,</c><00:02:17.060><c> of</c><00:02:17.500><c> Tyre</c><00:02:18.180><c> and</c><00:02:18.319><c> Zidon,</c><00:02:19.879><c> which</c><00:02:20.099><c> was</c><00:02:20.400><c> a</c>

00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:21.680
place<00:02:21.020><c> originally</c>

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:27.620
It<00:02:21.780><c> was</c><00:02:22.060><c> very</c><00:02:22.599><c> friendly</c><00:02:23.240><c> to</c><00:02:24.099><c> David</c><00:02:24.659><c> and</c><00:02:25.300><c> certainly</c><00:02:25.819><c> to</c><00:02:26.159><c> Solomon</c><00:02:26.620><c> because</c><00:02:27.280><c> they</c>

00:02:27.620 --> 00:02:30.319
sent<00:02:27.939><c> to</c><00:02:28.280><c> him</c><00:02:28.620><c> the</c><00:02:29.039><c> trees</c>

00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.580
So<00:02:34.180><c> in</c><00:02:34.340><c> a</c><00:02:34.520><c> few</c><00:02:34.699><c> years,</c><00:02:35.180><c> and</c><00:02:35.180><c> we're</c><00:02:35.400><c> not</c><00:02:35.680><c> talking</c><00:02:35.979><c> about</c><00:02:36.280><c> far,</c>

00:02:36.740 --> 00:02:39.460

00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.860
And<00:02:46.939><c> now</c><00:02:47.120><c> they</c><00:02:47.300><c> don't</c><00:02:47.639><c> worship</c><00:02:48.099><c> the</c><00:02:48.319><c> Lord</c><00:02:48.520><c> God</c><00:02:49.000><c> of</c><00:02:49.759><c> Elijah,</c>

00:02:51.819 --> 00:02:54.699
but<00:02:51.819><c> they're</c><00:02:51.960><c> worshipping</c><00:02:53.379><c> Baal.</c>

00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:58.680
And<00:02:55.560><c> Eph</c><00:02:55.860><c>-Bael</c><00:02:56.280><c> is</c><00:02:57.319><c> Jezebel's</c><00:02:57.819><c> father.</c>

00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:02.419

the<00:09:21.840><c> hills.</c>

00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.620
And<00:09:22.799><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:09:23.240><c> and</c><00:09:23.440><c> Ahab</c><00:09:23.639><c> hear</c><00:09:23.899><c> this,</c><00:09:25.039><c> and</c><00:09:25.139><c> Ahab</c><00:09:25.379><c> thinks,</c>

00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:27.139
oh,<00:09:25.879><c> good,</c><00:09:25.980><c> he's</c><00:09:26.080><c> talking</c><00:09:26.299><c> about</c><00:09:26.500><c> Jehoshaphat.</c>

00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:38.000
I'll<00:09:34.299><c> dress</c><00:09:34.419><c> up</c><00:09:34.600><c> as</c><00:09:34.720><c> a</c><00:09:34.860><c> private</c><00:09:35.080><c> with</c><00:09:35.240><c> no</c><00:09:35.460><c> stripes</c><00:09:35.740><c> on,</c><00:09:36.620><c> he</c><00:09:36.860><c> says,</c><00:09:37.059><c> okay,</c><00:09:37.559><c> because</c><00:09:37.860><c> he</c>

00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:38.600
knows<00:09:38.200><c> now</c><00:09:38.399><c> it's</c>

00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:41.120
out<00:09:38.759><c> of</c><00:09:38.899><c> his</c><00:09:39.120><c> hands,</c><00:09:39.580><c> it's</c><00:09:39.740><c> in</c><00:09:39.899><c> the</c><00:09:39.980><c> hands</c><00:09:40.080><c> of</c><00:09:40.299><c> God.</c>

00:09:41.740 --> 00:09:44.220
And<00:09:42.100><c> of</c><00:09:42.259><c> course,</c><00:09:42.480><c> that's</c><00:09:42.759><c> the</c><00:09:42.840><c> way</c><00:09:42.980><c> it</c><00:09:43.100><c> worked</c><00:09:43.279><c> out.</c>

00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:47.820
They<00:09:44.799><c> chased</c><00:09:45.080><c> the</c><00:09:45.179><c> king</c><00:09:45.519><c> of</c><00:09:46.120><c> Judah</c><00:09:46.379><c> and</c><00:09:46.860><c> are</c><00:09:46.960><c> about</c><00:09:47.220><c> to</c><00:09:47.720><c> give</c>

00:09:47.820 --> 00:09:49.200

00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:50.940
they<00:09:49.360><c> say,</c><00:09:49.519><c> we're</c><00:09:49.580><c> chasing</c><00:09:49.799><c> the</c><00:09:49.960><c> wrong</c><00:09:50.120><c> man.</c>

00:09:51.019 --> 00:09:52.860
Our<00:09:51.379><c> argument</c><00:09:51.720><c> is</c><00:09:51.860><c> only</c><00:09:52.019><c> with</c><00:09:52.179><c> Ahab.</c>

00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:56.360
And<00:09:53.340><c> so</c><00:09:53.440><c> there's</c><00:09:53.700><c> a</c><00:09:53.820><c> sort</c><00:09:53.960><c> of</c><00:09:54.259><c> standoff,</c><00:09:55.700><c> and</c><00:09:55.799><c> it's</c><00:09:55.960><c> a</c><00:09:56.039><c> lovely</c>

00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.200
Strange,<00:10:34.299><c> isn't</c><00:10:34.360><c> it,</c><00:10:34.519><c> that</c><00:10:34.659><c> although</c><00:10:35.899><c> Elijah</c><00:10:36.360><c> was</c><00:10:36.620><c> told</c><00:10:36.919><c> to</c>

00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:48.240
Now,<00:10:46.139><c> I</c><00:10:46.200><c> wonder</c><00:10:46.340><c> why,</c><00:10:46.740><c> I</c><00:10:46.940><c> wonder</c><00:10:47.019><c> why</c><00:10:47.179><c> that</c><00:10:47.460><c> was.</c>

00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:52.100
Maybe<00:10:49.299><c> it</c><00:10:49.500><c> was</c><00:10:49.700><c> because</c><00:10:50.220><c> he</c><00:10:50.440><c> was</c><00:10:50.779><c> aware</c><00:10:51.179><c> of</c><00:10:51.460><c> the</c><00:10:51.639><c> fact</c><00:10:51.840><c> that</c>

00:10:52.100 --> 00:10:56.120
Hazael<00:10:52.600><c> was</c><00:10:52.820><c> not</c><00:10:53.080><c> yet</c><00:10:53.620><c> ready</c><00:10:54.480><c> for</c><00:10:55.039><c> leadership.</c>

00:10:57.019 --> 00:11:02.399
Maybe<00:10:57.700><c> he</c><00:10:57.919><c> knew</c><00:10:58.100><c> that</c><00:10:58.299><c> the</c><00:10:58.500><c> time</c><00:10:58.620><c> was</c><00:10:58.820><c> not</c><00:10:59.059><c> yet</c><00:10:59.379><c> right,</c><00:11:00.379><c> or</c><00:11:00.720><c> ripe,</c><00:11:02.179><c> to</c>

anoint<00:11:02.840><c> Jehu.</c>

00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:08.639
And<00:11:04.500><c> so</c><00:11:04.659><c> these</c><00:11:04.960><c> responsibilities</c><00:11:05.700><c> were</c><00:11:05.980><c> passed</c><00:11:06.259><c> over</c><00:11:06.500><c> to</c><00:11:06.759><c> Elisha,</c><00:11:08.480><c> and</c>

00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:12.840

Some<00:14:12.879><c> people</c><00:14:13.080><c> say,</c><00:14:13.340><c> of</c><00:14:13.379><c> course</c><00:14:13.419><c> he's</c><00:14:13.679><c> down</c><00:14:13.840><c> on</c><00:14:14.019><c> women,</c><00:14:14.379><c> you</c>

00:14:14.379 --> 00:14:15.279
know,<00:14:14.539><c> the</c><00:14:14.700><c> apostle</c><00:14:15.000><c> Paul.</c>

00:14:15.419 --> 00:14:16.240
He's<00:14:15.700><c> not,</c><00:14:16.059><c> you</c><00:14:16.059><c> know.</c>

00:14:16.539 --> 00:14:19.220
He's<00:14:16.940><c> the</c><00:14:17.159><c> bearer</c><00:14:17.460><c> of</c><00:14:17.559><c> the</c><00:14:17.779><c> flag</c><00:14:17.940><c> of</c><00:14:18.279><c> freedom</c><00:14:18.559><c> for</c><00:14:18.840><c> sisters,</c>

00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:21.440
and<00:14:19.659><c> he</c><00:14:19.820><c> loves</c><00:14:20.039><c> them</c><00:14:20.360><c> as</c><00:14:20.559><c> much</c><00:14:20.700><c> as</c><00:14:20.820><c> he</c><00:14:20.860><c> loves</c><00:14:21.059><c> his</c><00:14:21.279><c> brethren.</c>

00:14:21.659 --> 00:14:24.200
But<00:14:21.799><c> when</c><00:14:21.980><c> he</c><00:14:22.320><c> discusses</c><00:14:22.720><c> things</c><00:14:22.919><c> in</c><00:14:23.139><c> the</c><00:14:23.259><c> Ecclesias,</c><00:14:23.879><c> it's</c>

00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:25.620
brethren<00:14:24.559><c> this</c><00:14:24.779><c> and</c><00:14:25.039><c> brethren</c><00:14:25.340><c> that.</c>

00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:29.200
It's<00:14:26.059><c> a</c><00:14:26.179><c> generic</c><00:14:26.539><c> term,</c><00:14:26.779><c> you</c><00:14:26.860><c> see,</c><00:14:27.120><c> and</c><00:14:27.299><c> it</c><00:14:27.639><c> encompasses</c><00:14:28.120><c> everybody.</c>

00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:31.320
So<00:14:29.720><c> then</c><00:14:29.940><c> come</c><00:14:30.080><c> back</c><00:14:30.220><c> to</c><00:14:30.340><c> the</c><00:14:30.440><c> Old</c><00:14:30.600><c> Testament</c><00:14:30.919><c> with</c><00:14:31.120><c> me.</c>

00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:34.740
Why<00:14:31.759><c> is</c><00:14:32.059><c> it</c><00:14:32.279><c> that</c><00:14:32.820><c> God</c><00:14:33.139><c> says</c><00:14:33.500><c> to</c><00:14:34.000><c> do</c><00:14:34.120><c> with</c><00:14:34.240><c> the</c><00:14:34.360><c> great</c><00:14:34.500><c> day</c><00:14:34.639><c> of</c>

00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:39.539
It<00:14:37.559><c> creates</c><00:14:37.940><c> all</c><00:14:38.179><c> sorts</c><00:14:38.379><c> of</c><00:14:38.539><c> problems.</c>

00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:44.500
Again,<00:14:40.320><c> I</c><00:14:40.399><c> hate</c><00:14:40.659><c> to</c><00:14:41.759><c> repeat</c><00:14:42.019><c> it,</c><00:14:42.620><c> but</c><00:14:42.620><c> don't</c><00:14:43.700><c> let</c><00:14:43.940><c> familiarity</c>

00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:46.120

00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.019
I<00:14:46.240><c> mean,</c><00:14:46.500><c> if</c><00:14:46.659><c> you</c><00:14:46.759><c> come</c><00:14:46.899><c> across</c><00:14:47.139><c> something,</c><00:14:47.399><c> ask</c><00:14:47.659><c> yourself</c><00:14:47.879><c> why</c><00:14:48.080><c> it</c><00:14:48.259><c> is.</c>

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.720
Take<00:14:50.399><c> this</c><00:14:50.620><c> one,</c><00:14:50.740><c> for</c><00:14:50.879><c> instance,</c><00:14:51.220><c> and</c><00:14:51.320><c> thou</c><00:14:51.480><c> shalt</c><00:14:51.740><c> rejoice.</c>

00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:54.600
Fancy<00:14:53.399><c> commanding</c><00:14:53.799><c> somebody</c><00:14:54.039><c> to</c><00:14:54.299><c> rejoice.</c>

00:14:54.740 --> 00:14:56.620
How<00:14:54.899><c> can</c><00:14:55.080><c> you</c><00:14:55.340><c> command</c><00:14:55.820><c> somebody</c><00:14:56.159><c> to</c><00:14:56.379><c> rejoice?</c>

00:14:56.980 --> 00:14:58.740
It's<00:14:57.139><c> a</c><00:14:57.179><c> bit</c><00:14:57.240><c> like</c><00:14:57.379><c> my</c><00:14:57.659><c> parents</c><00:14:57.940><c> when</c><00:14:58.100><c> we</c><00:14:58.240><c> used</c><00:14:58.360><c> to</c><00:14:58.440><c> go</c><00:14:58.519><c> on</c><00:14:58.620><c> the</c>

00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:00.220
I<00:14:59.460><c> didn't</c><00:14:59.620><c> want</c><00:14:59.759><c> to</c><00:14:59.899><c> go.</c>

00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:02.919
I<00:15:00.759><c> would</c><00:15:00.960><c> much</c><00:15:01.139><c> rather</c><00:15:01.299><c> play</c><00:15:01.539><c> cricket</c><00:15:01.799><c> with</c><00:15:01.960><c> my</c><00:15:02.139><c> pals</c><00:15:02.360><c> in</c><00:15:02.720><c> the</c>

00:15:06.259 --> 00:15:08.559
When<00:15:06.379><c> I</c><00:15:06.440><c> was</c><00:15:06.539><c> about</c><00:15:06.899><c> 12,</c><00:15:07.320><c> this</c><00:15:07.399><c> isn't</c><00:15:07.639><c> 13.</c>

00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:10.759
My<00:15:09.100><c> mother</c><00:15:09.340><c> used</c><00:15:09.559><c> to</c><00:15:09.639><c> say</c><00:15:09.799><c> to</c><00:15:09.899><c> me,</c><00:15:10.080><c> you'll</c><00:15:10.279><c> go</c><00:15:10.460><c> to</c><00:15:10.620><c> the</c><00:15:10.620><c> Sunday</c>

00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:14.200
Oh,<00:15:13.460><c> yeah.</c>

00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.600
Whether<00:15:15.879><c> you</c><00:15:16.120><c> like</c><00:15:16.259><c> to</c><00:15:16.480><c> or</c><00:15:16.659><c> not,</c><00:15:16.960><c> you'll</c><00:15:17.240><c> enjoy</c><00:15:17.539><c> it.</c>

00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:19.799
Thank<00:15:18.919><c> you,</c><00:15:19.120><c> mother.</c>

00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.620
And<00:15:21.279><c> here</c><00:15:21.480><c> we've</c><00:15:21.759><c> got</c><00:15:21.860><c> God</c><00:15:22.000><c> saying</c><00:15:22.240><c> the</c><00:15:22.399><c> same</c><00:15:22.580><c> thing.</c>

00:15:23.700 --> 00:15:25.679
And<00:15:24.000><c> thou</c><00:15:24.259><c> shalt</c><00:15:24.580><c> rejoice.</c>

00:15:26.019 --> 00:15:26.980
Why?

00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.340
You<00:15:29.200><c> can't</c><00:15:29.700><c> command</c><00:15:30.259><c> somebody</c><00:15:30.659><c> to</c><00:15:30.940><c> rejoice.</c>

00:15:31.340 --> 00:15:34.539
You<00:15:31.799><c> can't</c><00:15:32.179><c> command</c><00:15:32.559><c> somebody</c><00:15:32.820><c> to</c><00:15:32.960><c> have</c><00:15:33.080><c> a</c><00:15:33.179><c> nice</c><00:15:33.440><c> time.</c>

00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:36.559
But<00:15:35.399><c> you</c><00:15:35.600><c> can.</c>

00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:41.700
Because<00:15:37.960><c> God</c><00:15:38.220><c> says</c><00:15:38.759><c> it</c><00:15:39.299><c> follows</c><00:15:39.580><c> the</c><00:15:39.779><c> great</c><00:15:39.960><c> day</c><00:15:40.179><c> of</c><00:15:40.320><c> atonement</c><00:15:41.139><c> and</c><00:15:41.559><c> your</c>

00:15:43.659 --> 00:15:45.759
And<00:15:43.899><c> you're</c><00:15:44.100><c> rejoicing</c><00:15:44.539><c> not</c><00:15:44.740><c> because</c><00:15:45.000><c> you're</c><00:15:45.179><c> having</c><00:15:45.399><c> a</c><00:15:45.539><c> nice</c>

00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:53.100
You're<00:15:51.100><c> rejoicing</c><00:15:51.519><c> because</c><00:15:51.840><c> your</c><00:15:52.080><c> sins</c><00:15:52.320><c> have</c><00:15:52.559><c> been</c><00:15:52.820><c> forgiven.</c>

00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:54.379
That's<00:15:53.500><c> why.</c>

00:15:54.539 --> 00:15:56.299
And<00:15:54.740><c> we're</c><00:15:55.279><c> commanded</c><00:15:55.419><c> to</c><00:15:55.779><c> rejoice.</c>

00:15:56.299 --> 00:15:59.120

Sins<00:16:02.700><c> forgiven,</c><00:16:03.159><c> the</c><00:16:03.279><c> great</c><00:16:03.600><c> barrier</c><00:16:03.960><c> between</c><00:16:04.360><c> men</c><00:16:04.679><c> and</c><00:16:05.440><c> God</c>

00:16:12.659 --> 00:16:15.940

Well,<00:16:19.519><c> I</c><00:16:19.639><c> hope</c><00:16:19.840><c> so.</c>

00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:16.619
The<00:29:14.680><c> one</c><00:29:14.859><c> man</c><00:29:15.079><c> sends</c><00:29:15.319><c> to</c><00:29:15.519><c> Jesus,</c>

00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:25.380
This<00:29:24.039><c> one</c><00:29:24.220><c> is,</c><00:29:24.660><c> no</c><00:29:24.839><c> you</c><00:29:25.000><c> won't.</c>

00:29:25.779 --> 00:29:27.259

00:29:32.700 --> 00:29:34.160
And<00:29:32.839><c> that's</c><00:29:33.079><c> the</c><00:29:33.180><c> difference</c><00:29:33.440><c> between</c>

00:29:43.700 --> 00:29:46.559
And<00:29:44.339><c> then</c><00:29:44.539><c> of</c><00:29:44.700><c> course</c><00:29:45.000><c> Elijah</c><00:29:45.799><c> seeks,</c>

00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:48.039

00:29:53.099 --> 00:29:55.400

00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:59.039

where<00:33:31.940><c> Elijah</c><00:33:32.299><c> is</c><00:33:32.500><c> going</c><00:33:32.599><c> to</c><00:33:32.740><c> be</c><00:33:32.920><c> taken</c><00:33:33.119><c> away</c><00:33:33.539><c> from</c><00:33:33.900><c> the</c><00:33:34.000><c> man</c>

00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:41.859
And<00:33:38.160><c> it's</c><00:33:38.599><c> pretty</c><00:33:38.799><c> obvious</c><00:33:39.220><c> as</c><00:33:39.440><c> we</c><00:33:39.720><c> read</c><00:33:39.940><c> it</c><00:33:40.240><c> that</c><00:33:40.500><c> other</c><00:33:40.900><c> people</c><00:33:41.339><c> know</c><00:33:41.660><c> this.</c>

00:33:42.019 --> 00:33:43.220
Because<00:33:42.200><c> there's</c><00:33:42.400><c> a</c><00:33:42.579><c> School</c><00:33:42.720><c> of</c><00:33:42.859><c> the</c><00:33:43.059><c> Prophets.</c>

00:33:43.299 --> 00:33:45.099
Maybe<00:33:43.480><c> we</c><00:33:43.680><c> ought</c><00:33:43.779><c> to</c><00:33:43.859><c> just</c><00:33:44.099><c> underline</c><00:33:44.420><c> this</c><00:33:44.660><c> little</c><00:33:44.859><c> point.</c>

00:33:45.539 --> 00:33:48.339
In<00:33:45.680><c> the</c><00:33:45.839><c> days</c><00:33:45.980><c> of</c><00:33:46.200><c> Elijah</c><00:33:46.460><c> and</c><00:33:46.680><c> Elisha,</c><00:33:47.019><c> there</c><00:33:47.140><c> was</c><00:33:47.319><c> what's</c><00:33:47.559><c> called</c><00:33:47.740><c> the</c><00:33:47.940><c> School</c><00:33:48.160><c> of</c>

the<00:33:48.519><c> Prophets.</c>

00:33:49.019 --> 00:33:51.339
And<00:33:49.220><c> it</c><00:33:49.299><c> was</c><00:33:49.420><c> actually</c><00:33:49.799><c> started</c><00:33:50.240><c> way</c><00:33:50.500><c> back</c><00:33:50.680><c> by</c><00:33:50.920><c> Moses.</c>

00:33:51.500 --> 00:33:53.099
It<00:33:51.619><c> was</c><00:33:51.799><c> encouraged</c><00:33:52.319><c> by</c><00:33:52.640><c> Samuel.</c>

00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:57.000
And<00:33:53.519><c> it</c><00:33:53.680><c> reaches</c><00:33:53.960><c> its</c><00:33:54.380><c> fruition</c><00:33:54.859><c> now</c><00:33:55.380><c> in</c><00:33:56.019><c> the</c><00:33:56.220><c> times</c><00:33:56.500><c> of,</c>

00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:59.299

00:33:59.420 --> 00:34:02.700
and<00:33:59.599><c> it</c><00:33:59.839><c> really</c><00:34:00.859><c> blossomed</c><00:34:01.519><c> now,</c><00:34:01.740><c> the</c><00:34:01.920><c> School</c><00:34:02.119><c> of</c><00:34:02.279><c> the</c><00:34:02.460><c> Prophets.</c>

00:34:02.700 --> 00:34:07.019
It<00:34:02.700><c> was</c><00:34:03.220><c> like</c><00:34:03.619><c> mutual</c><00:34:05.720><c> improving</c><00:34:06.119><c> class,</c>

00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:15.480
He<00:34:14.039><c> was</c><00:34:14.239><c> their</c><00:34:14.440><c> president.</c>

00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:17.639
And<00:34:16.219><c> it</c><00:34:16.300><c> was</c><00:34:16.480><c> a</c><00:34:16.579><c> good</c><00:34:16.760><c> thing.</c>

00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:21.880
It's<00:34:18.320><c> a</c><00:34:18.400><c> good</c><00:34:18.539><c> thing</c><00:34:18.699><c> when</c><00:34:18.960><c> young</c><00:34:19.599><c> brethren</c><00:34:20.119><c> come</c><00:34:20.739><c> to</c><00:34:20.920><c> older</c><00:34:21.360><c> brethren</c>

00:34:25.460 --> 00:34:27.380
And<00:34:25.840><c> they</c><00:34:26.019><c> did</c><00:34:26.179><c> this</c><00:34:26.360><c> with</c><00:34:26.519><c> Elijah</c><00:34:26.800><c> and</c><00:34:26.980><c> Elisha.</c>

00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:29.940
We'll<00:34:27.760><c> talk</c><00:34:27.980><c> a</c><00:34:28.079><c> bit</c><00:34:28.739><c> more</c><00:34:28.920><c> about</c><00:34:29.119><c> that</c><00:34:29.380><c> later</c><00:34:29.659><c> on.</c>

00:34:29.940 --> 00:34:33.280
But<00:34:30.380><c> it's</c><00:34:30.480><c> pretty</c><00:34:30.719><c> obvious</c><00:34:31.280><c> that</c><00:34:32.099><c> they</c><00:34:32.420><c> knew</c><00:34:32.719><c> that</c><00:34:32.980><c> Elijah</c>

00:34:46.820 --> 00:34:48.000
And<00:34:47.099><c> Elisha</c><00:34:47.460><c> said</c><00:34:47.659><c> unto</c><00:34:47.840><c> him,</c>

00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:51.920
So<00:34:51.139><c> they</c><00:34:51.280><c> went</c><00:34:51.460><c> to</c><00:34:51.599><c> Bethel.</c>

And<00:35:17.480><c> Elijah</c><00:35:17.760><c> took</c><00:35:17.960><c> his</c><00:35:18.199><c> mantle.</c>

00:35:18.539 --> 00:35:19.840
That's<00:35:18.820><c> miracle</c><00:35:19.039><c> he's</c><00:35:19.199><c> going</c><00:35:19.320><c> to</c><00:35:19.519><c> perform.</c>

00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:21.760
And<00:35:20.300><c> he</c><00:35:20.420><c> wrapped</c><00:35:20.559><c> it</c><00:35:20.739><c> together</c><00:35:20.940><c> and</c><00:35:21.139><c> smote</c><00:35:21.340><c> the</c><00:35:21.559><c> waters,</c>

00:35:23.340 --> 00:35:25.719
So<00:35:23.559><c> they</c><00:35:23.800><c> too</c><00:35:23.920><c> went</c><00:35:24.119><c> over</c><00:35:24.380><c> and</c><00:35:24.619><c> dry</c><00:35:24.820><c> ground.</c>
