00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:28.920
My<00:00:22.460><c> father</c><00:00:22.800><c> was</c><00:00:23.039><c> a</c><00:00:23.199><c> salesman,</c><00:00:25.399><c> and</c><00:00:25.519><c> during</c><00:00:26.019><c> my</c><00:00:26.839><c> first</c><00:00:27.100><c> 18</c><00:00:27.440><c> years,</c><00:00:27.980><c> I</c><00:00:28.239><c> don't</c><00:00:28.460><c> even</c><00:00:28.699><c> think</c><00:00:28.839><c> I</c>

00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:29.399
can<00:00:29.160><c> count</c>

00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.260
all<00:00:29.640><c> the</c><00:00:29.760><c> different</c><00:00:30.079><c> jobs</c><00:00:30.399><c> that</c><00:00:30.579><c> he</c><00:00:30.679><c> had.</c>

00:00:33.740 --> 00:00:38.399
A<00:00:33.820><c> lot</c><00:00:33.960><c> of</c><00:00:34.100><c> people</c><00:00:34.280><c> have</c><00:00:34.420><c> asked</c><00:00:34.679><c> me,</c><00:00:36.159><c> how</c><00:00:36.240><c> come</c><00:00:36.439><c> you</c><00:00:36.600><c> didn't</c><00:00:36.840><c> become</c><00:00:37.140><c> a</c><00:00:37.380><c> salesman?</c>

00:00:38.780 --> 00:00:42.579
And<00:00:38.960><c> I</c><00:00:39.039><c> guess</c><00:00:39.259><c> the</c><00:00:39.460><c> most</c><00:00:39.840><c> accurate</c><00:00:40.359><c> answer</c><00:00:40.719><c> is,</c><00:00:41.840><c> I</c><00:00:41.939><c> can't</c><00:00:42.359><c> see</c>

00:00:42.579 --> 00:00:45.320
myself<00:00:43.280><c> as</c><00:00:44.060><c> a</c><00:00:44.280><c> salesman.</c>

00:00:45.899 --> 00:00:47.700
My<00:00:46.219><c> father</c><00:00:46.500><c> was</c><00:00:46.719><c> pretty</c><00:00:46.939><c> good,</c><00:00:47.320><c> apparently.</c>

00:00:47.899 --> 00:00:50.579
I<00:00:48.140><c> don't</c><00:00:48.340><c> know,</c><00:00:48.560><c> by</c><00:00:48.700><c> having</c><00:00:48.920><c> all</c><00:00:49.100><c> those</c><00:00:49.240><c> jobs,</c><00:00:49.539><c> maybe</c><00:00:49.619><c> he</c><00:00:49.759><c> wasn't,</c><00:00:50.000><c> but</c>

00:00:50.579 --> 00:00:52.600
I<00:00:51.820><c> think</c><00:00:52.039><c> that</c><00:00:52.179><c> he</c><00:00:52.219><c> was</c><00:00:52.380><c> a</c><00:00:52.380><c> pretty</c>

00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.719
good<00:00:52.820><c> salesman</c><00:00:53.259><c> because</c><00:00:53.799><c> he</c><00:00:54.039><c> was</c><00:00:54.259><c> able</c><00:00:54.460><c> to</c><00:00:54.740><c> sell</c><00:00:55.020><c> a</c><00:00:55.259><c> lot</c><00:00:55.479><c> of</c>

00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:57.000
different<00:00:55.960><c> things.</c>

00:00:57.020 --> 00:01:04.420
So<00:00:57.460><c> he</c><00:00:57.600><c> had</c><00:00:57.799><c> an</c><00:00:58.039><c> ability,</c><00:00:59.240><c> sort</c><00:00:59.299><c> of</c><00:00:59.600><c> regardless</c><00:01:00.179><c> of</c><00:01:00.619><c> the</c><00:01:02.100><c> product,</c><00:01:03.219><c> he</c><00:01:03.320><c> had</c><00:01:03.500><c> this</c><00:01:03.719><c> ability</c><00:01:04.200><c> to</c>

00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:04.819

00:01:06.579 --> 00:01:09.000
And<00:01:06.760><c> so</c><00:01:06.879><c> I</c><00:01:06.900><c> guess</c><00:01:07.079><c> people</c><00:01:07.379><c> just</c><00:01:07.680><c> make</c><00:01:07.900><c> the</c><00:01:08.319><c> connection,</c><00:01:08.879><c> well,</c>

00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.180
you<00:01:09.159><c> ought</c><00:01:09.620><c> to</c><00:01:09.659><c> be</c><00:01:09.819><c> able</c><00:01:09.959><c> to</c><00:01:10.180><c> do</c><00:01:10.340><c> that.</c>

00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.400
And<00:01:11.620><c> when</c><00:01:11.799><c> I</c><00:01:12.000><c> tell</c><00:01:12.120><c> them</c><00:01:12.299><c> that</c><00:01:12.540><c> I</c><00:01:12.680><c> don't</c><00:01:12.900><c> think</c><00:01:13.040><c> I</c><00:01:13.140><c> have</c><00:01:13.200><c> any</c>

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:15.299

00:01:15.299 --> 00:01:19.239

00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:20.980
myself<00:01:19.840><c> as</c><00:01:20.379><c> a</c><00:01:20.560><c> salesman</c>

00:01:20.980 --> 00:01:22.000
at<00:01:21.200><c> all.</c>

00:01:22.310 --> 00:01:26.060
Now<00:01:22.579><c> I'd</c><00:01:22.739><c> like</c><00:01:22.859><c> you</c><00:01:23.019><c> to</c><00:01:23.159><c> just</c><00:01:23.420><c> tuck</c><00:01:23.599><c> that</c><00:01:23.879><c> away</c><00:01:24.340><c> for</c><00:01:25.379><c> a</c><00:01:25.819><c> little</c>

while<00:01:26.439><c> because</c><00:01:26.980><c> I</c><00:01:27.159><c> think</c><00:01:27.319><c> that</c><00:01:28.099><c> will</c><00:01:28.299><c> mean</c>

00:01:28.579 --> 00:01:31.620

00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:38.159
There's<00:01:32.959><c> one</c><00:01:33.319><c> incident</c><00:01:34.040><c> in</c><00:01:35.019><c> the</c><00:01:35.260><c> life</c><00:01:35.500><c> of</c><00:01:35.780><c> King</c><00:01:36.040><c> Josiah</c><00:01:36.859><c> that</c>

00:04:51.100 --> 00:04:53.920
I<00:04:51.360><c> think</c><00:04:51.500><c> it's</c><00:04:51.800><c> ironic</c><00:04:52.240><c> that</c><00:04:52.519><c> Bethel</c><00:04:52.920><c> means</c><00:04:53.180><c> the</c><00:04:53.420><c> house</c><00:04:53.620><c> of</c>

00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:04.299

00:19:21.140 --> 00:19:25.140
I<00:19:21.420><c> think</c><00:19:21.640><c> last</c><00:19:22.039><c> night,</c><00:19:22.940><c> for</c><00:19:23.039><c> me,</c><00:19:23.480><c> what</c><00:19:23.740><c> Brother</c><00:19:24.059><c> John</c><00:19:24.380><c> did</c><00:19:24.799><c> for</c>

00:19:30.380 --> 00:19:33.500
Oh,<00:19:30.779><c> I</c><00:19:31.079><c> might</c><00:19:31.339><c> not</c><00:19:31.599><c> agree</c><00:19:32.119><c> with</c><00:19:32.599><c> every</c><00:19:32.940><c> detail.</c>

00:19:33.740 --> 00:19:34.559
How<00:19:34.099><c> come?</c>

00:19:34.900 --> 00:19:40.460
Because<00:19:35.119><c> it's</c><00:19:35.400><c> not</c><00:19:35.759><c> my</c><00:19:36.220><c> vision,</c><00:19:37.720><c> but</c><00:19:37.940><c> I</c><00:19:38.200><c> have</c><00:19:38.539><c> one</c><00:19:39.059><c> about</c><00:19:39.779><c> the</c><00:19:40.059><c> future.</c>

00:19:46.700 --> 00:19:48.500

00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:17.660

00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:21.500
why<00:20:18.160><c> was</c><00:20:18.500><c> it</c><00:20:18.920><c> that</c><00:20:19.180><c> Josiah</c><00:20:19.859><c> had</c><00:20:20.220><c> such</c><00:20:20.519><c> a</c><00:20:20.720><c> vision?</c>

00:22:12.859 --> 00:22:14.019
Let's<00:22:13.140><c> begin.</c>

00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:15.000
Shefan's<00:22:14.720><c> our</c><00:22:14.880><c> God.</c>

00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:19.380
He's<00:22:15.319><c> the</c><00:22:15.440><c> key</c><00:22:15.680><c> man</c><00:22:15.960><c> because</c><00:22:16.480><c> he</c><00:22:16.799><c> seems</c><00:22:17.059><c> to</c><00:22:17.279><c> be</c><00:22:17.440><c> the</c><00:22:17.740><c> prime</c><00:22:18.200><c> mover</c><00:22:18.599><c> during</c><00:22:19.160><c> the</c>

00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:22.460
But<00:22:20.680><c> it</c><00:22:20.940><c> starts</c><00:22:21.200><c> back</c><00:22:21.559><c> earlier</c><00:22:22.019><c> than</c><00:22:22.319><c> that.</c>

00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.660
We<00:22:22.559><c> don't</c><00:22:22.759><c> have</c><00:22:22.940><c> much</c><00:22:23.200><c> information</c><00:22:23.859><c> about</c><00:22:24.420><c> his</c><00:22:24.740><c> father</c><00:22:25.180><c> and</c>

00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:35.960
Take<00:22:31.019><c> a</c><00:22:31.140><c> look</c><00:22:31.240><c> at</c><00:22:31.440><c> 2</c><00:22:31.660><c> Kings</c><00:22:31.920><c> 22</c><00:22:32.920><c> and</c><00:22:34.099><c> verse</c><00:22:34.359><c> 3.</c>

00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:59.380
and<00:22:54.740><c> then</c><00:22:55.140><c> that's</c><00:22:55.960><c> when</c><00:22:56.099><c> he</c><00:22:56.240><c> went</c><00:22:56.319><c> in</c><00:22:56.539><c> to</c><00:22:56.660><c> talk</c><00:22:56.819><c> to</c><00:22:56.940><c> Hilkiah</c><00:22:57.380><c> and</c><00:22:57.460><c> they</c><00:22:57.700><c> found</c><00:22:57.980><c> out</c><00:22:59.000><c> that</c><00:22:59.180><c> he</c>

00:23:01.380 --> 00:23:04.400
So<00:23:01.799><c> the</c><00:23:02.019><c> only</c><00:23:02.220><c> thing</c><00:23:02.400><c> we</c><00:23:02.579><c> know</c><00:23:02.799><c> is</c><00:23:03.019><c> that</c><00:23:03.200><c> his</c><00:23:03.500><c> grandfather's</c>

these<00:23:11.319><c> things</c><00:23:11.519><c> that</c><00:23:11.680><c> I've</c><00:23:12.240><c> turned</c><00:23:12.460><c> over</c>

00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:20.220
Think<00:23:17.019><c> in</c><00:23:17.140><c> your</c><00:23:17.359><c> mind,</c><00:23:17.779><c> if</c><00:23:17.980><c> you've</c><00:23:18.339><c> had</c><00:23:18.500><c> children,</c><00:23:19.819><c> how</c><00:23:20.019><c> you</c>

00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:26.519
I<00:23:23.039><c> know</c><00:23:23.400><c> sometimes</c><00:23:24.180><c> it's</c><00:23:24.960><c> funny,</c><00:23:25.380><c> you</c><00:23:25.380><c> know,</c><00:23:25.900><c> that</c><00:23:26.180><c> something</c>

00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:30.740

00:23:38.660 --> 00:23:43.359
impressed<00:23:39.059><c> by</c><00:23:39.380><c> the</c><00:23:39.839><c> faith</c><00:23:40.099><c> of</c><00:23:40.380><c> this</c><00:23:41.279><c> king</c><00:23:41.619><c> and</c><00:23:41.880><c> so</c><00:23:42.019><c> on</c><00:23:42.180><c> and</c><00:23:42.359><c> so</c><00:23:42.599><c> forth.</c>

00:23:43.779 --> 00:23:47.759
I<00:23:43.839><c> think</c><00:23:44.119><c> sometimes</c><00:23:44.940><c> too,</c><00:23:45.720><c> we</c><00:23:46.039><c> pick</c><00:23:46.359><c> names</c><00:23:46.759><c> for</c><00:23:47.140><c> what</c><00:23:47.299><c> they</c><00:23:47.539><c> mean.</c>

00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.299
I<00:23:48.220><c> don't</c><00:23:48.440><c> think</c><00:23:48.559><c> it's</c><00:23:48.819><c> as</c><00:23:49.099><c> common</c><00:23:49.599><c> now</c><00:23:50.299><c> as</c><00:23:51.240><c> possibly</c><00:23:51.819><c> it</c><00:23:52.140><c> was.</c>

00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:55.400
I'm<00:23:52.619><c> not</c><00:23:52.779><c> sure</c><00:23:52.960><c> that</c><00:23:53.119><c> that's</c><00:23:53.480><c> ever</c><00:23:53.720><c> been</c><00:23:54.160><c> really</c><00:23:54.700><c> common</c><00:23:55.039><c> but</c>

00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:57.039
it<00:23:55.720><c> just</c><00:23:55.900><c> seems</c><00:23:56.140><c> so</c><00:23:56.519><c> coincidental</c>

00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:00.559
sometimes<00:23:57.579><c> that</c><00:23:58.140><c> people</c><00:23:58.579><c> bear</c><00:23:58.880><c> names</c><00:23:59.180><c> in</c><00:23:59.380><c> the</c><00:23:59.539><c> Bible</c><00:23:59.759><c> that</c><00:24:00.099><c> seem</c><00:24:00.279><c> to</c>

reflect<00:24:00.920><c> their</c><00:24:01.240><c> character</c><00:24:01.799><c> and</c><00:24:02.339><c> so</c>

00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:03.160
on<00:24:02.680><c> and</c><00:24:02.779><c> so</c><00:24:02.960><c> forth.</c>

00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:06.599
I<00:24:03.440><c> don't</c><00:24:03.539><c> know</c><00:24:03.619><c> how</c><00:24:03.779><c> you</c><00:24:03.920><c> would</c><00:24:04.099><c> ever</c><00:24:04.380><c> name</c><00:24:04.720><c> somebody</c><00:24:05.160><c> that</c><00:24:05.619><c> to</c>

00:24:18.299 --> 00:24:20.799
