00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:30.120
notice<00:01:29.340><c> of</c><00:01:29.540><c> what</c><00:01:29.700><c> I</c><00:01:29.959><c> say,</c>

00:01:39.459 --> 00:01:41.739
I<00:01:39.560><c> haven't,</c><00:01:39.939><c> don't</c><00:01:40.159><c> tell</c><00:01:40.340><c> him</c><00:01:40.480><c> that,</c><00:01:40.700><c> what</c><00:01:40.780><c> have</c><00:01:40.879><c> you</c><00:01:41.019><c> done,</c>

00:01:46.260 --> 00:01:50.439
Just<00:01:46.739><c> before</c><00:01:47.019><c> we</c><00:01:47.180><c> get</c><00:01:47.359><c> started</c><00:01:47.640><c> on</c><00:01:48.060><c> this</c><00:01:48.379><c> 10,</c><00:01:48.879><c> 9,</c><00:01:49.099><c> 6</c><00:01:49.319><c> counting</c><00:01:49.819><c> business,</c>

00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.819

00:01:53.819 --> 00:01:54.700
knows<00:01:54.099><c> that.</c>

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.400
No?<00:01:55.640><c> I'll</c><00:01:55.840><c> tell</c><00:01:56.000><c> you</c><00:01:56.099><c> in</c><00:01:56.180><c> a</c><00:01:56.280><c> moment</c><00:01:56.480><c> Susan.</c>

00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:03.840
There's<00:02:00.799><c> a</c><00:02:00.959><c> principle</c><00:02:01.379><c> which</c><00:02:01.640><c> we</c><00:02:01.879><c> have</c><00:02:02.120><c> to</c><00:02:02.459><c> understand</c><00:02:03.019><c> right</c>

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:04.819
now<00:02:04.079><c> at</c><00:02:04.280><c> the</c><00:02:04.420><c> outset,</c>

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:09.020
and<00:02:05.239><c> it's</c><00:02:05.840><c> this,</c><00:02:07.140><c> in</c><00:02:07.379><c> the</c><00:02:07.459><c> word</c><00:02:07.579><c> of</c><00:02:07.780><c> God</c><00:02:07.900><c> we</c><00:02:08.039><c> come</c><00:02:08.199><c> into</c><00:02:08.439><c> collision</c><00:02:08.800><c> with</c>

00:02:09.020 --> 00:02:10.139
God's<00:02:09.520><c> thinking</c><00:02:09.680><c> of</c><00:02:09.939><c> course,</c>

00:02:10.139 --> 00:02:13.620
and<00:02:10.300><c> often</c><00:02:10.680><c> the</c><00:02:10.939><c> thinking</c><00:02:11.300><c> of</c><00:02:12.639><c> man.</c>

00:02:13.819 --> 00:02:17.900
And<00:02:13.960><c> the</c><00:02:14.139><c> thinking</c><00:02:14.379><c> of</c><00:02:14.599><c> man</c><00:02:15.360><c> sounds</c><00:02:16.400><c> very</c><00:02:16.860><c> good,</c>

00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:21.919
and<00:02:20.139><c> the</c><00:02:20.340><c> thinking</c><00:02:20.580><c> of</c><00:02:20.780><c> God</c><00:02:21.039><c> sounds</c><00:02:21.460><c> crazy.</c>

00:02:21.979 --> 00:02:23.740
Let<00:02:22.120><c> me</c><00:02:22.219><c> give</c><00:02:22.360><c> you</c><00:02:22.479><c> an</c><00:02:22.639><c> example.</c>

00:02:24.620 --> 00:02:27.240
Peter<00:02:24.919><c> says,</c><00:02:25.180><c> I</c><00:02:25.219><c> want</c><00:02:25.439><c> to</c><00:02:25.599><c> tell</c><00:02:25.719><c> you</c><00:02:25.819><c> how</c><00:02:26.039><c> you've</c><00:02:26.259><c> been</c><00:02:26.680><c> saved,</c>

00:02:27.620 --> 00:02:29.699
I<00:02:27.699><c> want</c><00:02:27.860><c> to</c><00:02:28.020><c> tell</c><00:02:28.139><c> you</c><00:02:28.280><c> the</c><00:02:28.500><c> source</c><00:02:28.740><c> of</c><00:02:28.939><c> your</c><00:02:29.159><c> salvation,</c>

00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:34.599
and<00:02:30.159><c> it</c><00:02:30.319><c> is</c><00:02:30.520><c> not</c><00:02:30.800><c> silver</c><00:02:31.159><c> and</c><00:02:31.419><c> gold,</c><00:02:32.639><c> which</c><00:02:33.280><c> will</c><00:02:33.580><c> corrupt,</c>

00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.419
but<00:02:35.039><c> it's</c><00:02:35.319><c> the</c><00:02:35.439><c> precious</c><00:02:35.740><c> blood</c><00:02:36.000><c> of</c><00:02:36.180><c> the</c><00:02:36.300><c> Lord</c><00:02:36.539><c> Jesus</c><00:02:36.939><c> Christ,</c>

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:38.539
which<00:02:37.780><c> is</c><00:02:38.060><c> incorruptible.</c>

00:02:38.539 --> 00:02:41.939
Now<00:02:38.879><c> you</c><00:02:39.120><c> tell</c><00:02:39.479><c> that</c><00:02:39.759><c> to</c><00:02:39.900><c> somebody</c><00:02:40.180><c> outside</c><00:02:40.699><c> here,</c><00:02:41.560><c> and</c><00:02:41.659><c> they'll</c><00:02:41.840><c> think</c>

00:02:41.939 --> 00:02:43.080
you're<00:02:42.120><c> crazy,</c>

00:02:43.180 --> 00:02:45.840
because<00:02:43.300><c> there</c><00:02:43.460><c> is</c><00:02:43.659><c> nothing</c><00:02:43.879><c> less</c><00:02:44.219><c> corruptible</c><00:02:45.099><c> than</c><00:02:45.539><c> silver</c>

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:46.439
and<00:02:46.039><c> gold,</c>

00:02:46.659 --> 00:02:49.039
and<00:02:46.840><c> nothing</c><00:02:47.120><c> more</c><00:02:47.439><c> corruptible</c><00:02:48.000><c> than</c><00:02:48.180><c> blood.</c>

00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.060
So<00:02:49.819><c> the</c><00:02:50.060><c> thinking</c><00:02:50.319><c> of</c><00:02:50.560><c> man</c><00:02:50.780><c> sounds</c><00:02:51.219><c> good,</c><00:02:51.520><c> but</c><00:02:51.639><c> it's</c><00:02:52.199><c> wrong,</c>

00:02:53.139 --> 00:02:54.840
when<00:02:53.240><c> you</c><00:02:53.400><c> line</c><00:02:53.560><c> it</c><00:02:53.719><c> up</c><00:02:53.900><c> with</c><00:02:54.039><c> the</c><00:02:54.199><c> thinking</c><00:02:54.419><c> of</c><00:02:54.580><c> God.</c>

00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.479
Thinking<00:02:55.659><c> of</c><00:02:55.819><c> man</c><00:02:56.099><c> versus</c><00:02:56.439><c> the</c><00:02:56.740><c> thinking</c><00:02:57.000><c> of</c><00:02:57.199><c> God.</c>

00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.280
God<00:02:58.219><c> is</c><00:02:58.439><c> right</c><00:02:58.759><c> and</c><00:02:58.960><c> man</c><00:02:59.199><c> is</c><00:02:59.400><c> wrong.</c>

00:03:00.979 --> 00:03:03.879
And<00:03:01.120><c> we</c><00:03:01.240><c> find</c><00:03:01.419><c> this</c><00:03:01.620><c> in</c><00:03:01.939><c> the</c><00:03:02.120><c> case</c><00:03:02.379><c> of</c><00:03:02.780><c> Elijah</c><00:03:03.180><c> of</c><00:03:03.419><c> course.</c>

00:03:04.060 --> 00:03:06.139
God<00:03:04.280><c> said</c><00:03:04.520><c> go</c><00:03:04.759><c> to</c><00:03:05.020><c> Zarephath.</c>

00:03:06.219 --> 00:03:09.599
Elijah<00:03:06.699><c> said</c><00:03:07.000><c> not</c><00:03:07.319><c> Zarephath,</c><00:03:07.939><c> anywhere</c><00:03:08.360><c> but</c><00:03:08.639><c> Zarephath.</c>

00:03:09.939 --> 00:03:13.060
Thinking<00:03:10.259><c> of</c><00:03:10.479><c> man.</c><00:03:11.379><c> I</c><00:03:11.580><c> don't</c><00:03:11.719><c> want</c><00:03:11.840><c> to</c><00:03:12.000><c> go</c><00:03:12.180><c> there.</c>

00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:14.780
I'm<00:03:13.599><c> sure</c><00:03:13.840><c> he</c><00:03:13.979><c> would</c><00:03:14.139><c> have</c><00:03:14.259><c> thought</c><00:03:14.460><c> that.</c>

00:03:14.819 --> 00:03:16.719
He<00:03:14.979><c> didn't</c><00:03:15.240><c> say</c><00:03:15.500><c> it,</c><00:03:15.620><c> and</c><00:03:15.740><c> he</c><00:03:15.900><c> went.</c>

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.460

00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:46.579
Rahab<00:04:43.339><c> stayed</c><00:04:43.620><c> inside,</c><00:04:44.259><c> crazy</c><00:04:44.639><c> thing</c><00:04:44.879><c> to</c><00:04:45.079><c> do,</c><00:04:45.759><c> and</c><00:04:45.879><c> lived.</c>

00:04:47.579 --> 00:04:51.399
So<00:04:47.959><c> when</c><00:04:48.220><c> we</c><00:04:49.079><c> come</c><00:04:49.240><c> into</c><00:04:49.519><c> collision</c><00:04:50.000><c> with</c><00:04:50.560><c> man's</c><00:04:51.160><c> thinking</c>

00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.680

They're<00:05:44.639><c> there</c><00:05:44.879><c> on</c><00:05:45.040><c> Mount</c><00:05:45.319><c> Carmel</c><00:05:45.699><c> with</c><00:05:46.839><c> Elijah.</c>

00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.459
I'm<00:05:48.319><c> sure</c><00:05:48.560><c> that</c><00:05:48.740><c> they</c><00:05:48.819><c> can</c><00:05:49.040><c> see</c><00:05:49.180><c> the</c><00:05:49.360><c> dust</c><00:05:49.600><c> rising</c><00:05:49.879><c> and</c><00:05:50.139><c> the</c><00:05:50.259><c> smoke,</c>

00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.920
But<00:05:55.519><c> now</c><00:05:55.699><c> we're</c><00:05:55.860><c> faced</c><00:05:56.040><c> with</c><00:05:56.279><c> a</c><00:05:56.600><c> strange</c><00:05:56.879><c> and</c><00:05:57.120><c> an</c><00:05:57.519><c> incredible,</c>

But<00:08:35.740><c> before</c><00:08:36.039><c> we</c><00:08:36.240><c> reach</c><00:08:36.500><c> that</c><00:08:36.759><c> stage,</c>

00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.019
we<00:08:37.740><c> have</c><00:08:37.960><c> to</c><00:08:38.179><c> see</c><00:08:38.639><c> Ahab</c><00:08:39.019><c> doing</c><00:08:39.259><c> something</c><00:08:39.539><c> which</c><00:08:39.720><c> is</c><00:08:39.940><c> very</c><00:08:40.320><c> strange.</c>

00:08:41.100 --> 00:08:44.860
This,<00:08:41.539><c> to</c><00:08:41.980><c> me,</c><00:08:42.460><c> shows</c><00:08:42.659><c> a</c><00:08:43.019><c> fault</c><00:08:43.240><c> in</c><00:08:43.399><c> the</c><00:08:43.500><c> man's</c><00:08:43.879><c> character.</c>

00:08:45.779 --> 00:08:48.620
I<00:08:45.820><c> mean,</c><00:08:46.019><c> you've</c><00:08:46.159><c> just</c><00:08:46.500><c> seen</c><00:08:46.779><c> 450</c><00:08:47.600><c> prophets</c><00:08:48.059><c> dead.</c>

00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:50.720
There<00:08:49.200><c> would</c><00:08:49.360><c> have</c><00:08:49.519><c> been</c><00:08:49.700><c> an</c><00:08:49.820><c> immense</c><00:08:50.240><c> scuffle,</c>

00:08:50.980 --> 00:08:52.240
some<00:08:51.200><c> of</c><00:08:51.320><c> them</c><00:08:51.419><c> trying</c><00:08:51.679><c> to</c><00:08:51.879><c> escape.</c>

00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.299
And<00:08:52.580><c> Elijah's</c><00:08:52.960><c> saying,</c><00:08:53.159><c> don't</c><00:08:53.220><c> let</c><00:08:53.419><c> any</c><00:08:53.700><c> of</c><00:08:53.799><c> them</c><00:08:53.919><c> escape.</c>

00:08:54.500 --> 00:08:57.500
Take<00:08:54.659><c> them</c><00:08:54.820><c> down</c><00:08:55.039><c> to</c><00:08:55.159><c> the</c><00:08:55.240><c> book</c><00:08:55.399><c> Kidron</c><00:08:55.740><c> and</c><00:08:55.940><c> there</c><00:08:56.120><c> let</c><00:08:56.240><c> them</c><00:08:56.500><c> die.</c>

00:08:59.179 --> 00:09:01.559
They<00:08:59.620><c> didn't</c><00:08:59.879><c> volunteer</c><00:09:00.480><c> for</c><00:09:00.759><c> death.</c>

00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.639
There<00:09:02.220><c> would</c><00:09:02.379><c> have</c><00:09:02.519><c> been</c><00:09:02.639><c> an</c><00:09:02.779><c> almighty</c><00:09:03.299><c> scuffle.</c>

00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.000
Eventually,<00:09:06.820><c> the</c><00:09:06.899><c> 450</c><00:09:07.659><c> of</c><00:09:07.860><c> them</c><00:09:08.360><c> died</c><00:09:09.139><c> by</c><00:09:09.379><c> the</c><00:09:09.519><c> brook,</c>

00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.620
and<00:09:11.639><c> the</c><00:09:11.740><c> bodies</c><00:09:11.899><c> have</c><00:09:12.100><c> to</c><00:09:12.240><c> be</c><00:09:12.399><c> buried.</c>

00:09:16.820 --> 00:09:20.159
And<00:09:17.179><c> Ahab,</c><00:09:18.580><c> wringing</c><00:09:18.799><c> his</c><00:09:19.100><c> hands</c><00:09:19.320><c> in</c><00:09:19.779><c> anguish</c>

00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:21.480
at<00:09:20.299><c> the</c><00:09:20.480><c> fast</c><00:09:20.659><c> talking</c><00:09:20.919><c> he</c><00:09:21.019><c> has</c><00:09:21.200><c> to</c><00:09:21.320><c> do</c>

00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.440
when<00:09:21.679><c> he</c><00:09:21.759><c> gets</c><00:09:21.919><c> back</c><00:09:22.120><c> to</c><00:09:22.279><c> Jezreel.</c>

00:09:24.179 --> 00:09:26.200
And<00:09:24.320><c> what</c><00:09:24.419><c> would</c><00:09:24.600><c> you</c><00:09:24.700><c> do</c><00:09:24.799><c> if</c><00:09:24.940><c> you</c><00:09:25.059><c> were</c><00:09:25.240><c> Ahab?</c>

00:09:26.460 --> 00:09:27.299
Don't<00:09:26.620><c> look</c><00:09:26.740><c> down</c><00:09:26.899><c> at</c><00:09:27.019><c> the</c><00:09:27.139><c> book.</c>

00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:29.639
You<00:09:27.679><c> know</c><00:09:27.820><c> the</c><00:09:27.940><c> answer,</c><00:09:28.139><c> you</c><00:09:28.220><c> know</c><00:09:28.320><c> what</c><00:09:28.460><c> he</c><00:09:28.600><c> did.</c>

00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:32.980
Well,<00:09:31.500><c> had</c><00:09:31.639><c> I</c><00:09:31.840><c> been</c><00:09:32.000><c> that</c><00:09:32.220><c> evil</c><00:09:32.519><c> king,</c>

00:09:32.980 --> 00:09:35.679
I<00:09:33.679><c> think</c><00:09:33.860><c> I</c><00:09:34.000><c> would</c><00:09:34.120><c> have</c><00:09:34.240><c> been</c><00:09:34.340><c> in</c><00:09:35.120><c> my</c><00:09:35.399><c> chariot</c>

00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:38.340
and<00:09:35.879><c> back</c><00:09:36.039><c> to</c><00:09:36.240><c> Jezreel</c><00:09:36.860><c> very</c><00:09:37.399><c> quickly.</c>

00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.240
But<00:09:38.799><c> he</c><00:09:38.940><c> brought</c><00:09:39.120><c> a</c><00:09:39.320><c> picnic</c><00:09:39.519><c> with</c><00:09:39.740><c> him.</c>

00:09:42.620 --> 00:09:44.399
Jezebel<00:09:42.980><c> had</c><00:09:43.120><c> put</c><00:09:43.200><c> him</c><00:09:43.299><c> up</c><00:09:43.460><c> a</c><00:09:43.659><c> picnic</c><00:09:43.960><c> box</c>

00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.820
with<00:09:45.100><c> a</c><00:09:45.279><c> bottle</c><00:09:45.460><c> of</c><00:09:45.679><c> cold</c><00:09:45.879><c> wine.</c>

00:09:47.259 --> 00:09:49.139
No,<00:09:47.700><c> it's</c><00:09:48.000><c> all</c><00:09:48.200><c> there.</c>

00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:51.240
And<00:09:50.340><c> Elijah</c><00:09:50.580><c> goes</c><00:09:50.820><c> to</c><00:09:50.919><c> him</c><00:09:51.059><c> and</c><00:09:51.139><c> says,</c>

00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.299
now<00:09:51.440><c> you've</c><00:09:51.740><c> seen</c><00:09:51.940><c> the</c><00:09:52.100><c> outcome</c><00:09:52.519><c> of</c><00:09:53.080><c> this</c><00:09:53.279><c> contest.</c>

00:09:54.539 --> 00:09:56.240
Eat<00:09:54.940><c> and</c><00:09:55.340><c> drink,</c>

00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:59.940
because<00:09:57.879><c> there</c><00:09:58.120><c> is</c><00:09:58.299><c> a</c><00:09:58.460><c> sound</c><00:09:58.639><c> of</c><00:09:58.899><c> great</c><00:09:59.100><c> rain.</c>

00:10:00.220 --> 00:10:02.259
And<00:10:00.419><c> the</c><00:10:00.580><c> sky</c><00:10:00.759><c> above</c><00:10:00.960><c> his</c><00:10:01.179><c> head</c><00:10:01.299><c> was</c><00:10:01.480><c> like</c><00:10:01.679><c> the</c><00:10:01.820><c> sky</c><00:10:02.019><c> above</c>

00:10:02.259 --> 00:10:02.820
ours<00:10:02.480><c> today,</c>

00:10:02.820 --> 00:10:05.059
which<00:10:03.039><c> is</c><00:10:03.679><c> cloudless.</c>

00:10:05.419 --> 00:10:07.080
And<00:10:05.600><c> yet</c><00:10:05.720><c> he</c><00:10:05.840><c> had</c><00:10:06.019><c> the</c><00:10:06.279><c> faith</c><00:10:06.480><c> to</c><00:10:06.779><c> say,</c>

00:10:07.580 --> 00:10:09.820
there<00:10:07.659><c> is</c><00:10:07.899><c> a</c><00:10:08.080><c> sound</c><00:10:08.720><c> of</c><00:10:09.360><c> great</c><00:10:09.580><c> rain.</c>

00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:11.440
So<00:10:10.279><c> while</c><00:10:10.480><c> you</c><00:10:10.679><c> can</c><00:10:10.860><c> eat</c><00:10:11.039><c> and</c><00:10:11.220><c> drink.</c>

00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.500
And<00:10:11.799><c> Ahab</c><00:10:12.000><c> did,</c><00:10:12.759><c> enjoyed</c><00:10:13.000><c> his</c><00:10:13.259><c> picnic.</c>

00:10:13.620 --> 00:10:15.559
What<00:10:13.700><c> a</c><00:10:14.039><c> strange</c><00:10:14.320><c> man.</c>

00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:18.539
Which<00:10:17.240><c> of</c><00:10:17.419><c> you</c><00:10:17.559><c> would</c><00:10:17.740><c> have</c><00:10:17.879><c> eaten</c><00:10:18.080><c> a</c><00:10:18.299><c> picnic</c>

00:10:18.539 --> 00:10:20.340
in<00:10:19.080><c> those</c><00:10:19.299><c> conditions?</c>

00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:24.019
And<00:10:23.080><c> he</c><00:10:23.179><c> did.</c>

00:10:25.419 --> 00:10:27.679
And<00:10:25.759><c> Elijah</c><00:10:26.080><c> meanwhile</c><00:10:26.480><c> leaves</c><00:10:26.779><c> him.</c>

00:10:28.059 --> 00:10:30.019
And<00:10:28.259><c> he</c><00:10:28.360><c> goes</c><00:10:28.740><c> a</c><00:10:28.860><c> little</c><00:10:29.320><c> nearer</c><00:10:29.720><c> the</c><00:10:29.820><c> summit</c>

00:10:30.019 --> 00:10:32.320
with<00:10:30.320><c> his</c><00:10:31.299><c> servant.</c>

00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.120
And<00:10:33.659><c> he</c><00:10:33.700><c> puts</c><00:10:33.899><c> his</c><00:10:34.100><c> head</c><00:10:34.220><c> between</c><00:10:34.559><c> his</c><00:10:34.820><c> knees</c><00:10:35.000><c> in</c><00:10:35.580><c> anguished</c><00:10:36.139><c> prayer.</c>

00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:38.740
And<00:10:37.399><c> he</c><00:10:37.460><c> says</c><00:10:37.639><c> to</c><00:10:37.820><c> his</c><00:10:38.019><c> servant,</c>

00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:40.340

00:10:40.340 --> 00:10:42.399
and<00:10:40.980><c> look</c><00:10:41.220><c> out</c><00:10:41.500><c> toward</c><00:10:41.799><c> the</c><00:10:42.059><c> sea</c>

00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:45.360
and<00:10:43.000><c> tell</c><00:10:43.159><c> me</c><00:10:43.340><c> whether</c><00:10:43.539><c> you</c><00:10:43.740><c> can</c><00:10:44.139><c> see</c><00:10:44.379><c> anything.</c>

00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:47.639
And<00:10:46.419><c> he's</c><00:10:46.559><c> on</c><00:10:46.679><c> his</c><00:10:46.860><c> knees</c><00:10:47.039><c> in</c><00:10:47.320><c> prayer.</c>

00:10:47.980 --> 00:10:50.740
And<00:10:48.080><c> that's</c><00:10:48.600><c> the</c><00:10:48.740><c> attitude</c><00:10:49.139><c> for</c><00:10:49.340><c> prayer,</c><00:10:49.620><c> brethren</c><00:10:49.820><c> and</c><00:10:50.059><c> sisters.</c>

00:10:50.980 --> 00:10:53.820
If<00:10:51.500><c> we</c><00:10:51.740><c> are</c><00:10:52.039><c> physically</c><00:10:52.539><c> capable</c>

00:11:11.379 --> 00:11:13.659
If<00:11:11.659><c> we</c><00:11:11.899><c> have</c><00:11:12.179><c> any</c><00:11:12.620><c> sense</c><00:11:12.980><c> at</c><00:11:13.259><c> all,</c>

00:11:13.980 --> 00:11:15.779
that's<00:11:14.200><c> where</c><00:11:14.320><c> we</c><00:11:14.500><c> are</c><00:11:14.679><c> in</c><00:11:14.779><c> the</c><00:11:14.899><c> morning,</c>

00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:18.899
And<00:11:17.700><c> that's</c><00:11:17.820><c> where</c><00:11:17.940><c> we</c><00:11:18.100><c> are</c><00:11:18.279><c> in</c><00:11:18.419><c> the</c><00:11:18.559><c> evening,</c>

00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:23.639
I<00:11:20.919><c> was</c><00:11:20.960><c> telling</c><00:11:21.059><c> the</c><00:11:21.299><c> teenagers,</c><00:11:22.299><c> Sister</c><00:11:22.500><c> Carolyn</c><00:11:22.720><c> and</c><00:11:22.919><c> I</c><00:11:22.960><c> just</c><00:11:23.480><c> had</c>

00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:24.539
a<00:11:24.139><c> new</c><00:11:24.379><c> bed.</c>

00:11:24.539 --> 00:11:25.320
She<00:11:24.679><c> has</c><00:11:24.860><c> a</c><00:11:24.940><c> back</c><00:11:25.059><c> problem.</c>

00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:27.740
She<00:11:25.500><c> needs</c><00:11:25.679><c> something</c><00:11:25.980><c> pretty</c><00:11:26.279><c> hard</c><00:11:26.440><c> to</c><00:11:26.639><c> sleep</c><00:11:26.799><c> on.</c>

00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:31.340
And<00:11:28.539><c> we</c><00:11:28.980><c> had</c><00:11:29.179><c> to</c><00:11:29.379><c> have</c><00:11:29.460><c> this</c><00:11:30.320><c> new</c><00:11:30.539><c> bed.</c>

00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:32.600
It's<00:11:31.840><c> a</c><00:11:31.940><c> lousy</c><00:11:32.259><c> bed.</c>

00:11:32.980 --> 00:11:33.759
There's<00:11:33.000><c> only</c><00:11:33.179><c> a</c><00:11:33.279><c> little</c><00:11:33.500><c> chap,</c>

00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:35.320
and<00:11:34.360><c> I</c><00:11:34.639><c> sit</c><00:11:34.840><c> on</c><00:11:34.980><c> the</c><00:11:35.120><c> bed,</c>

00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.379
and<00:11:35.620><c> the</c><00:11:35.700><c> old</c><00:11:35.879><c> bed</c><00:11:36.039><c> was</c><00:11:36.220><c> very</c><00:11:36.460><c> close</c><00:11:36.740><c> to</c><00:11:36.879><c> the</c><00:11:37.019><c> ground,</c>

00:11:37.700 --> 00:11:39.820
and<00:11:38.240><c> I</c><00:11:38.360><c> could</c><00:11:38.539><c> sit</c><00:11:38.659><c> on</c><00:11:38.779><c> the</c><00:11:38.899><c> bed</c><00:11:39.000><c> and</c><00:11:39.159><c> tie</c><00:11:39.259><c> my</c><00:11:39.379><c> shoelaces.</c>

00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:41.600
Now<00:11:40.600><c> this</c><00:11:40.820><c> bed</c><00:11:40.980><c> is</c><00:11:41.139><c> so</c><00:11:41.480><c> high,</c>

00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:42.679
my<00:11:41.759><c> legs</c><00:11:41.940><c> are</c><00:11:42.179><c> swinging</c><00:11:42.320><c> off</c><00:11:42.480><c> the</c><00:11:42.600><c> floor</c>

00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:44.759
and<00:11:42.899><c> I</c><00:11:43.220><c> can't</c><00:11:43.539><c> reach</c><00:11:43.779><c> my</c><00:11:44.320><c> shoelaces,</c>

00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:47.500
but<00:11:44.960><c> I'll</c><00:11:45.179><c> tell</c><00:11:45.299><c> you</c><00:11:45.460><c> what,</c><00:11:46.259><c> it's</c><00:11:46.440><c> an</c><00:11:46.559><c> ideal</c><00:11:46.799><c> bed</c><00:11:47.000><c> for</c><00:11:47.220><c> prayer.</c>

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:52.080
Just<00:11:48.440><c> the</c><00:11:48.879><c> right</c><00:11:49.179><c> height</c><00:11:49.580><c> for</c><00:11:50.139><c> a</c><00:11:50.399><c> person</c><00:11:50.679><c> on</c><00:11:50.960><c> their</c><00:11:51.159><c> knees.</c>

00:11:52.899 --> 00:11:54.340
And<00:11:53.340><c> from</c><00:11:53.779><c> my</c><00:11:54.000><c> reckoning,</c>

00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.519
it's<00:11:54.580><c> the</c><00:11:54.679><c> best</c><00:11:54.960><c> bed</c><00:11:55.179><c> we</c><00:11:55.379><c> ever</c><00:11:55.620><c> had.</c>

00:11:56.820 --> 00:12:00.179
And<00:11:57.120><c> that's</c><00:11:57.440><c> where</c><00:11:57.679><c> we</c><00:11:57.980><c> need</c><00:11:58.279><c> to</c><00:11:58.600><c> be</c><00:11:58.919><c> on</c><00:11:59.519><c> our</c><00:11:59.759><c> knees</c>

00:12:00.179 --> 00:12:02.139
when<00:12:00.600><c> we</c><00:12:00.899><c> can,</c><00:12:01.440><c> in</c><00:12:01.519><c> earnest</c><00:12:01.759><c> prayer,</c>

00:12:02.379 --> 00:12:05.200
praying<00:12:02.700><c> for</c><00:12:02.960><c> what</c><00:12:03.179><c> Elijah</c><00:12:03.580><c> was</c><00:12:03.879><c> praying</c><00:12:04.159><c> for.</c>

00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.000
Not<00:12:05.440><c> that</c><00:12:05.559><c> it</c><00:12:05.600><c> might</c><00:12:05.879><c> rain,</c>

00:12:07.500 --> 00:12:10.259
although<00:12:07.679><c> sometimes</c><00:12:08.080><c> we</c><00:12:08.360><c> may</c><00:12:08.620><c> need</c><00:12:08.879><c> to</c><00:12:09.120><c> ask</c><00:12:09.360><c> that.</c>

00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.720
But<00:12:11.460><c> the</c><00:12:11.799><c> refreshment</c><00:12:12.159><c> might</c><00:12:12.379><c> come</c><00:12:12.580><c> from</c><00:12:12.779><c> heaven.</c>

00:12:14.580 --> 00:12:15.720
And<00:12:14.759><c> because</c><00:12:15.039><c> it's</c><00:12:15.379><c> delayed,</c>

00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.159
people<00:12:16.139><c> won't</c><00:12:16.440><c> believe</c><00:12:16.840><c> that</c><00:12:17.000><c> it's</c><00:12:17.259><c> coming.</c>

00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.960
And<00:12:20.840><c> we</c><00:12:20.919><c> need</c><00:12:21.120><c> to</c><00:12:21.240><c> be</c><00:12:21.360><c> on</c><00:12:21.500><c> our</c><00:12:21.679><c> knees</c><00:12:21.860><c> praying</c><00:12:22.220><c> the</c><00:12:22.519><c> Father</c>

00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:25.960

or<00:12:29.259><c> with</c><00:12:29.779><c> our</c><00:12:30.200><c> foreheads</c><00:12:30.600><c> on</c><00:12:30.740><c> the</c><00:12:30.899><c> floor</c>

00:12:31.100 --> 00:12:33.220
between<00:12:31.559><c> our</c><00:12:31.779><c> knees</c><00:12:31.980><c> if</c><00:12:32.139><c> we're</c><00:12:32.360><c> physically</c><00:12:32.740><c> capable,</c>

00:12:33.419 --> 00:12:37.080
begging<00:12:33.919><c> the</c><00:12:34.220><c> Father</c><00:12:34.519><c> to</c><00:12:35.039><c> send</c><00:12:35.320><c> the</c><00:12:35.620><c> refreshment</c><00:12:36.000><c> from</c><00:12:36.220><c> heaven?</c>

00:12:37.340 --> 00:12:41.059
Seriously,<00:12:38.139><c> how</c><00:12:38.340><c> many</c><00:12:38.559><c> of</c><00:12:38.679><c> us</c><00:12:38.860><c> are</c><00:12:39.059><c> that</c><00:12:39.460><c> urgent</c><00:12:39.879><c> in</c><00:12:40.100><c> our</c><00:12:40.299><c> prayers?</c>

00:12:42.100 --> 00:12:44.379
Well,<00:12:42.379><c> maybe</c><00:12:42.700><c> if</c><00:12:42.980><c> we</c><00:12:43.240><c> were</c><00:12:43.340><c> more</c><00:12:43.720><c> urgent,</c>

00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.179
the<00:12:45.000><c> day</c><00:12:45.139><c> would</c><00:12:45.379><c> come</c><00:12:45.860><c> more</c><00:12:46.200><c> quickly.</c>

00:12:48.740 --> 00:12:49.960
And<00:12:48.960><c> Elijah</c><00:12:49.259><c> says</c><00:12:49.500><c> to</c><00:12:49.700><c> his</c><00:12:49.820><c> servant,</c>

00:12:50.100 --> 00:12:51.259

there's<00:12:52.740><c> nothing.</c>

00:12:55.100 --> 00:12:55.960
I'll<00:12:55.440><c> pray</c><00:12:55.559><c> more</c><00:12:55.840><c> hard.</c>

00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.340

Six<00:13:00.419><c> times,</c><00:13:00.980><c> nothing.</c>

00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.240

00:13:47.580 --> 00:13:48.700
and<00:13:47.779><c> he</c><00:13:47.840><c> was</c><00:13:48.019><c> a</c><00:13:48.159><c> fit</c><00:13:48.320><c> man,</c>

00:13:58.100 --> 00:14:00.600
Now,<00:13:58.480><c> surely</c><00:13:58.899><c> the</c><00:13:59.159><c> people</c><00:13:59.379><c> will</c><00:13:59.679><c> believe.</c>

00:14:00.620 --> 00:14:02.799
Surely<00:14:01.019><c> the</c><00:14:01.220><c> king</c><00:14:01.480><c> is</c><00:14:01.759><c> convinced.</c>

00:14:02.820 --> 00:14:05.019
Absolutely<00:14:03.320><c> has</c><00:14:03.620><c> to</c><00:14:03.820><c> be</c><00:14:04.019><c> converted.</c>

00:14:05.539 --> 00:14:06.580
And<00:14:05.779><c> they</c><00:14:05.879><c> come</c><00:14:06.019><c> to</c><00:14:06.200><c> Jezreel,</c>

00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:07.919

00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:09.220
and<00:14:08.279><c> the</c><00:14:08.440><c> chariot</c><00:14:08.700><c> goes</c><00:14:08.960><c> through</c>

00:14:09.220 --> 00:14:11.080
and<00:14:09.460><c> closes</c><00:14:09.620><c> in</c><00:14:09.860><c> the</c><00:14:09.899><c> face</c><00:14:10.039><c> of</c><00:14:10.259><c> Elijah,</c>

00:14:11.620 --> 00:14:14.059
and<00:14:11.740><c> he's</c><00:14:11.840><c> left</c><00:14:12.000><c> outside</c><00:14:12.460><c> in</c><00:14:12.679><c> the</c><00:14:12.820><c> teeming</c><00:14:13.159><c> rain.</c>

00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:16.720
And<00:14:16.019><c> Ahab</c><00:14:16.220><c> goes</c><00:14:16.460><c> in,</c>

00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.980
no<00:14:17.620><c> idea</c><00:14:17.940><c> how</c><00:14:18.120><c> the</c><00:14:18.299><c> conversation</c><00:14:18.720><c> would</c><00:14:18.899><c> have</c><00:14:19.100><c> gone.</c>

00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:24.480
You'd<00:14:21.720><c> better</c><00:14:21.740><c> sit</c><00:14:21.940><c> down,</c><00:14:22.159><c> my</c><00:14:22.360><c> dear,</c><00:14:23.059><c> and</c><00:14:23.500><c> drink</c><00:14:23.700><c> this.</c>

00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:26.500
I've<00:14:24.919><c> got</c><00:14:24.960><c> some</c><00:14:25.179><c> very</c><00:14:25.480><c> bad</c><00:14:25.620><c> news</c><00:14:25.840><c> for</c><00:14:26.019><c> you.</c>

You<00:14:26.919><c> know</c><00:14:27.019><c> the</c><00:14:27.240><c> 450?</c>

00:14:27.899 --> 00:14:29.320
Well,<00:14:28.080><c> I'm</c><00:14:28.240><c> sure</c><00:14:28.480><c> they're</c><00:14:29.019><c> replaceable,</c>

00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.440
but<00:14:29.759><c> for</c><00:14:30.080><c> the</c><00:14:30.200><c> moment</c><00:14:30.399><c> they've</c><00:14:31.659><c> gone.</c>

00:14:33.860 --> 00:14:34.980
All<00:14:34.419><c> 450?</c>

00:14:35.379 --> 00:14:36.700
Every<00:14:35.659><c> one</c><00:14:35.840><c> of</c><00:14:36.580><c> them.</c>

00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:37.879
By<00:14:37.120><c> whose</c><00:14:37.419><c> hand?</c>

00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.299
By<00:14:46.720><c> all</c><00:14:47.139><c> the</c><00:14:47.379><c> gods,</c>

00:14:49.019 --> 00:14:52.399
so<00:14:49.200><c> will</c><00:14:49.460><c> your</c><00:14:49.700><c> life</c><00:14:49.960><c> be</c><00:14:50.320><c> by</c><00:14:50.559><c> about</c><00:14:50.740><c> this</c><00:14:51.000><c> time</c><00:14:51.200><c> tomorrow.</c>

00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:54.679
And<00:14:53.240><c> the</c><00:14:53.360><c> letter</c><00:14:53.539><c> is</c><00:14:53.879><c> sealed</c>

00:14:54.860 --> 00:14:57.379
and<00:14:55.340><c> passed</c><00:14:55.539><c> through</c><00:14:55.779><c> the</c><00:14:55.940><c> gates</c><00:14:56.159><c> to</c><00:14:56.399><c> Elijah.</c>

00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:02.240
And<00:14:59.000><c> he</c><00:14:59.080><c> opens</c><00:14:59.379><c> it</c><00:15:00.179><c> and</c><00:15:00.480><c> reads</c><00:15:00.740><c> the</c><00:15:00.960><c> death</c><00:15:01.139><c> sentence.</c>

00:15:04.820 --> 00:15:06.500
And<00:15:05.000><c> he</c><00:15:05.279><c> flees,</c><00:15:05.779><c> brethren</c><00:15:05.960><c> and</c><00:15:06.200><c> sisters.</c>

00:15:06.899 --> 00:15:09.639
In<00:15:07.100><c> a</c><00:15:07.299><c> way,</c><00:15:08.220><c> I'm</c><00:15:08.419><c> glad</c><00:15:08.639><c> he</c><00:15:08.820><c> does.</c>

00:15:09.700 --> 00:15:11.220
I<00:15:09.860><c> was</c><00:15:09.960><c> beginning</c><00:15:10.279><c> to</c><00:15:10.539><c> think</c><00:15:10.639><c> he</c><00:15:10.759><c> was</c><00:15:10.940><c> nothing.</c>

00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:12.399
I<00:15:11.539><c> was</c><00:15:11.720><c> nothing</c><00:15:12.000><c> like</c><00:15:12.320><c> him.</c>

00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:14.200
He's<00:15:12.899><c> a</c><00:15:13.019><c> giant</c><00:15:13.299><c> of</c><00:15:13.580><c> faith.</c>

00:15:14.259 --> 00:15:15.899
Now,<00:15:14.259><c> maybe,</c><00:15:15.019><c> maybe,</c>

00:15:16.019 --> 00:15:22.120
maybe<00:15:16.460><c> an</c><00:15:16.679><c> element</c><00:15:16.980><c> of</c><00:15:17.980><c> fear</c><00:15:18.340><c> and</c><00:15:19.399><c> worry</c><00:15:19.740><c> comes</c><00:15:20.039><c> into</c><00:15:20.360><c> him.</c>

00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:24.559
Strange,<00:15:23.279><c> isn't</c><00:15:23.419><c> it,</c><00:15:23.539><c> if</c><00:15:23.700><c> that</c><00:15:23.879><c> is</c><00:15:24.100><c> the</c><00:15:24.220><c> case,</c>

00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:26.980
that<00:15:25.179><c> he</c><00:15:25.360><c> wasn't</c><00:15:25.679><c> or</c><00:15:25.860><c> didn't</c><00:15:26.120><c> appear</c><00:15:26.419><c> to</c><00:15:26.600><c> be</c><00:15:26.799><c> afraid</c>

00:15:26.980 --> 00:15:28.460
when<00:15:27.100><c> he</c><00:15:27.179><c> was</c><00:15:27.299><c> on</c><00:15:27.440><c> the</c><00:15:27.559><c> mountain.</c>

00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:32.019
Well,<00:15:29.259><c> these</c><00:15:29.480><c> weren't</c><00:15:29.799><c> 450</c><00:15:30.600><c> polite</c><00:15:31.120><c> chaps,</c><00:15:31.539><c> you</c><00:15:31.659><c> know.</c>

00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:35.399
They<00:15:32.759><c> were</c><00:15:33.919><c> fanatics.</c>

00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:41.720
They<00:15:39.000><c> were</c><00:15:39.440><c> all</c><00:15:39.799><c> over</c><00:15:40.100><c> him</c><00:15:40.299><c> and</c><00:15:40.659><c> the</c><00:15:40.840><c> altar.</c>

00:15:43.419 --> 00:15:46.379
And<00:15:43.700><c> he</c><00:15:43.779><c> didn't</c><00:15:44.100><c> seem</c><00:15:44.539><c> to</c><00:15:44.840><c> show</c><00:15:45.000><c> fear</c><00:15:45.259><c> then.</c>

00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:48.799
So<00:15:47.379><c> relaxed</c><00:15:47.740><c> was</c><00:15:47.940><c> he</c><00:15:48.039><c> that</c><00:15:48.120><c> he</c><00:15:48.179><c> could</c><00:15:48.399><c> bow</c><00:15:48.580><c> down</c>

00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:51.240
and<00:15:48.899><c> say,</c><00:15:49.100><c> Lord</c><00:15:49.220><c> God</c><00:15:49.440><c> of</c><00:15:49.580><c> Abraham,</c><00:15:50.059><c> of</c><00:15:50.120><c> Isaac</c><00:15:50.460><c> and</c><00:15:50.820><c> of</c><00:15:51.019><c> Jacob,</c>

00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:52.779
let<00:15:51.440><c> it</c><00:15:51.559><c> be</c><00:15:51.700><c> known</c><00:15:51.820><c> that</c><00:15:51.960><c> I</c><00:15:52.139><c> am</c><00:15:52.259><c> thy</c><00:15:52.440><c> servant</c>

00:15:52.779 --> 00:15:55.440
and<00:15:53.080><c> that</c><00:15:53.220><c> I</c><00:15:53.279><c> have</c><00:15:53.360><c> done</c><00:15:53.480><c> all</c><00:15:53.779><c> these</c><00:15:54.000><c> things</c><00:15:54.200><c> at</c><00:15:54.360><c> thy</c><00:15:54.480><c> command.</c>

00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:57.519
And<00:15:55.659><c> he</c><00:15:56.080><c> was</c><00:15:56.259><c> exposed</c><00:15:56.799><c> then.</c>

00:15:59.340 --> 00:16:02.740
And<00:15:59.779><c> at</c><00:15:59.919><c> that</c><00:16:00.039><c> time</c><00:16:00.200><c> the</c><00:16:00.419><c> 450</c><00:16:01.019><c> prophets</c><00:16:01.379><c> were</c><00:16:01.620><c> not</c><00:16:01.879><c> dead.</c>

00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:06.740
But<00:16:05.480><c> now</c><00:16:05.679><c> he</c><00:16:05.759><c> seems</c><00:16:06.000><c> afraid.</c>

00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:09.620
Death<00:16:07.779><c> sent</c><00:16:07.980><c> him</c><00:16:08.100><c> in</c><00:16:08.419><c> his</c><00:16:08.659><c> hand.</c>

00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:12.259
You're<00:16:10.879><c> a</c><00:16:10.960><c> dead</c><00:16:11.100><c> man</c><00:16:11.360><c> by</c><00:16:11.559><c> about</c><00:16:11.720><c> this</c><00:16:11.860><c> time</c><00:16:12.000><c> tomorrow.</c>

00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:13.740
And<00:16:12.600><c> he</c><00:16:12.840><c> flees.</c>

00:16:14.299 --> 00:16:15.740
Strange<00:16:14.580><c> thing,</c><00:16:14.820><c> isn't</c><00:16:15.019><c> it,</c>

00:16:16.500 --> 00:16:18.139
that<00:16:16.720><c> he</c><00:16:16.820><c> didn't</c><00:16:17.059><c> flee</c><00:16:17.240><c> to</c><00:16:17.460><c> Judah.</c>

00:16:18.940 --> 00:16:20.759
He<00:16:19.220><c> would</c><00:16:19.419><c> have</c><00:16:19.460><c> thought</c><00:16:19.580><c> that</c><00:16:19.700><c> he</c><00:16:19.740><c> would</c><00:16:19.899><c> have</c><00:16:20.039><c> done.</c>

00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:24.480
Here<00:16:21.840><c> he</c><00:16:21.940><c> is</c><00:16:22.379><c> in</c><00:16:22.860><c> Jezreel</c><00:16:23.379><c> and</c><00:16:23.620><c> Samaria,</c>

00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:26.340
and<00:16:24.899><c> he</c><00:16:25.019><c> flees</c><00:16:25.240><c> down,</c>

00:16:26.460 --> 00:16:29.000
and<00:16:26.580><c> he</c><00:16:26.679><c> comes,</c><00:16:27.019><c> he</c><00:16:27.120><c> stops</c><00:16:27.320><c> off</c><00:16:27.600><c> in</c><00:16:27.820><c> Judah</c><00:16:28.059><c> just</c><00:16:28.279><c> for</c><00:16:28.500><c> a</c><00:16:28.659><c> moment</c>

00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.080
to<00:16:29.440><c> leave</c><00:16:29.799><c> his</c><00:16:30.240><c> servant</c><00:16:30.600><c> there.</c>

00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:33.940
You'll<00:16:31.740><c> be</c><00:16:31.919><c> safe</c><00:16:32.120><c> here,</c><00:16:32.639><c> boy,</c><00:16:32.820><c> he</c><00:16:33.019><c> says.</c>

00:16:35.139 --> 00:16:37.659
This<00:16:35.539><c> death</c><00:16:35.799><c> sentence</c><00:16:36.460><c> written</c><00:16:36.919><c> by</c><00:16:37.240><c> Jezebel</c>

00:16:37.659 --> 00:16:39.580
has<00:16:37.879><c> my</c><00:16:38.100><c> name</c><00:16:38.279><c> on,</c><00:16:38.559><c> not</c><00:16:38.620><c> yours.</c>

00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:41.639
You'll<00:16:40.179><c> be</c><00:16:40.320><c> safe</c><00:16:40.500><c> here.</c>

00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:44.340
And<00:16:42.679><c> he</c><00:16:42.899><c> himself</c><00:16:43.279><c> goes</c><00:16:43.539><c> out</c><00:16:43.779><c> into</c><00:16:43.980><c> the</c><00:16:44.100><c> wilderness.</c>

00:16:44.539 --> 00:16:47.200
Now<00:16:44.620><c> the</c><00:16:44.659><c> question</c><00:16:44.980><c> is,</c><00:16:45.500><c> why</c><00:16:45.740><c> didn't</c><00:16:45.919><c> he</c><00:16:46.100><c> stay</c><00:16:46.320><c> in</c><00:16:46.480><c> Judah?</c>

00:16:48.820 --> 00:16:49.820
Surely<00:16:49.080><c> he's</c><00:16:49.200><c> going</c><00:16:49.340><c> to</c><00:16:49.419><c> be</c><00:16:49.559><c> safe</c><00:16:49.700><c> there.</c>

00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:51.179
That's<00:16:50.059><c> where</c><00:16:50.159><c> Yahweh</c><00:16:50.460><c> is</c><00:16:50.659><c> worshipped.</c>

00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:54.379
That's<00:16:51.659><c> where</c><00:16:51.799><c> the</c><00:16:51.899><c> temple</c><00:16:52.200><c> of</c><00:16:52.799><c> the</c><00:16:52.960><c> living</c><00:16:53.139><c> God</c><00:16:53.399><c> is.</c>

00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.340
That's<00:16:55.220><c> where</c><00:16:55.360><c> Jehoshaphat,</c>

00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:58.120
of<00:16:56.919><c> whom</c><00:16:57.059><c> it</c><00:16:57.200><c> is</c><00:16:57.340><c> written</c><00:16:57.580><c> that</c><00:16:57.740><c> he</c><00:16:57.820><c> did</c><00:16:57.960><c> that</c>

00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:01.120
which<00:16:58.220><c> was</c><00:16:58.440><c> right</c><00:16:58.620><c> in</c><00:16:58.740><c> the</c><00:16:58.899><c> eyes</c><00:16:59.860><c> of</c><00:17:00.039><c> the</c><00:17:00.120><c> Lord,</c><00:17:00.460><c> lived.</c>

00:17:01.299 --> 00:17:02.620
Why<00:17:01.820><c> didn't</c><00:17:02.139><c> he</c><00:17:02.340><c> stay</c><00:17:02.440><c> in</c><00:17:02.620><c> Judah?</c>

00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:05.019
Why<00:17:02.879><c> did</c><00:17:03.039><c> he</c><00:17:03.179><c> go</c><00:17:03.360><c> hairing</c><00:17:03.700><c> off</c><00:17:03.820><c> into</c><00:17:04.019><c> the</c><00:17:04.160><c> wilderness?</c>

00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.220
And<00:17:06.180><c> although</c><00:17:06.420><c> the</c><00:17:06.559><c> Word</c><00:17:06.700><c> of</c><00:17:06.839><c> God</c><00:17:06.940><c> doesn't</c><00:17:07.599><c> tell</c><00:17:07.880><c> us</c>

00:17:08.220 --> 00:17:10.000
in<00:17:08.500><c> a</c><00:17:08.660><c> single</c><00:17:08.920><c> verse,</c>

00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:11.160
you<00:17:10.119><c> don't</c><00:17:10.319><c> have</c><00:17:10.519><c> to</c><00:17:10.640><c> be</c><00:17:10.799><c> a</c><00:17:10.900><c> genius</c>

00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:13.799
with<00:17:11.339><c> the</c><00:17:11.460><c> Word</c><00:17:11.599><c> of</c><00:17:11.740><c> God</c><00:17:11.799><c> to</c><00:17:12.000><c> find</c><00:17:12.259><c> out.</c>

00:17:14.980 --> 00:17:18.680
Because<00:17:15.500><c> what</c><00:17:15.700><c> happened</c><00:17:16.660><c> was</c><00:17:17.160><c> Jehoshaphat</c>

00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:20.519
in<00:17:19.240><c> the</c><00:17:19.440><c> south,</c>

00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:22.799
and<00:17:21.160><c> Ahab</c><00:17:21.480><c> in</c><00:17:21.779><c> the</c><00:17:22.039><c> north,</c>

00:17:23.099 --> 00:17:24.240
sought<00:17:23.220><c> alliance.</c>

00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:26.720
We<00:17:24.880><c> just</c><00:17:25.180><c> heard</c><00:17:25.460><c> about</c><00:17:25.920><c> a</c><00:17:26.119><c> wicked</c><00:17:26.359><c> woman,</c>

00:17:27.019 --> 00:17:30.380
Brother<00:17:27.359><c> John</c><00:17:27.759><c> telling</c><00:17:28.160><c> us</c><00:17:28.359><c> about</c><00:17:28.720><c> a</c><00:17:29.180><c> wicked</c><00:17:29.440><c> woman.</c>

00:17:30.539 --> 00:17:34.359
Giving<00:17:31.059><c> birth</c><00:17:31.440><c> to</c><00:17:31.859><c> an</c><00:17:33.059><c> evil</c><00:17:33.359><c> daughter.</c>

00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:35.339
My<00:17:34.759><c> word!</c>

00:17:35.660 --> 00:17:37.599
He<00:17:35.779><c> could</c><00:17:35.960><c> have</c><00:17:36.099><c> quoted</c><00:17:36.420><c> this</c><00:17:36.700><c> very</c><00:17:37.039><c> accurately.</c>

00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:38.759
He<00:17:37.799><c> had</c><00:17:37.960><c> plenty</c><00:17:38.220><c> of</c><00:17:38.400><c> material.</c>

00:17:39.019 --> 00:17:40.819
He<00:17:39.019><c> didn't</c><00:17:39.259><c> need</c><00:17:39.440><c> it,</c><00:17:39.579><c> but</c><00:17:39.700><c> he</c><00:17:39.759><c> could</c><00:17:39.940><c> have</c><00:17:40.119><c> done.</c>

00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:44.299
Jezebel<00:17:42.799><c> and</c><00:17:43.200><c> Ahab,</c>

00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:49.859
you're<00:17:48.920><c> never</c><00:17:49.119><c> going</c><00:17:49.299><c> to</c><00:17:49.559><c> find,</c>

00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:54.740
Meanwhile<00:17:53.579><c> in</c><00:17:53.779><c> the</c><00:17:54.000><c> south,</c>

00:17:54.819 --> 00:17:56.339
Jehoshaphat<00:17:55.339><c> has</c><00:17:55.779><c> a</c><00:17:56.000><c> son,</c>

00:17:56.660 --> 00:17:58.680

00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:03.559
And<00:17:59.279><c> so</c><00:17:59.599><c> that</c><00:17:59.759><c> they</c><00:17:59.920><c> might</c><00:18:00.200><c> have</c><00:18:00.380><c> an</c><00:18:00.599><c> alliance</c><00:18:01.000><c> between</c><00:18:01.519><c> them,</c>

00:18:03.700 --> 00:18:06.059
Jehoshaphat<00:18:04.259><c> seeks</c><00:18:04.599><c> to</c><00:18:04.880><c> marry</c><00:18:05.079><c> off</c><00:18:05.339><c> his</c><00:18:05.640><c> son</c>

00:18:06.059 --> 00:18:08.839
to<00:18:06.519><c> the</c><00:18:06.700><c> daughter</c><00:18:07.420><c> of</c><00:18:07.779><c> Jezebel</c><00:18:08.180><c> and</c><00:18:08.440><c> Ahab,</c>

00:18:09.059 --> 00:18:11.180
whose<00:18:09.200><c> name</c><00:18:09.359><c> is</c><00:18:09.559><c> Ataliah.</c>

Jehoram<00:18:11.960><c> and</c><00:18:12.079><c> Ataliah,</c>

00:18:12.859 --> 00:18:14.339

00:18:14.980 --> 00:18:19.160
And<00:18:15.119><c> then</c><00:18:15.299><c> we</c><00:18:15.480><c> read</c><00:18:16.059><c> that</c><00:18:16.599><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:18:17.259><c> goes</c><00:18:17.579><c> up</c><00:18:17.940><c> to</c><00:18:18.720><c> Ahab</c>

You<00:18:22.480><c> want</c><00:18:22.660><c> some</c><00:18:22.900><c> people</c><00:18:23.180><c> to</c><00:18:23.619><c> help</c><00:18:23.779><c> you</c><00:18:23.980><c> in</c><00:18:24.059><c> building</c><00:18:24.279><c> projects?</c>

00:18:28.259 --> 00:18:30.680
You<00:18:28.700><c> want</c><00:18:28.980><c> to</c><00:18:29.319><c> do</c><00:18:29.460><c> a</c><00:18:29.640><c> military</c><00:18:29.980><c> campaign</c><00:18:30.400><c> somewhere?</c>

00:18:30.980 --> 00:18:31.960
You're<00:18:31.200><c> in</c><00:18:31.319><c> need</c><00:18:31.480><c> of</c><00:18:31.700><c> horses?</c>

00:18:32.339 --> 00:18:33.180

My<00:18:33.660><c> horses</c><00:18:33.960><c> are</c><00:18:34.140><c> your</c><00:18:34.359><c> horses.</c>

00:18:35.019 --> 00:18:36.119
Whatever<00:18:35.259><c> I</c><00:18:35.500><c> have</c><00:18:35.579><c> is</c><00:18:35.799><c> yours.</c>

00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:40.819

00:18:41.460 --> 00:18:43.759
You<00:18:41.539><c> think</c><00:18:41.720><c> Elijah</c><00:18:42.079><c> would</c><00:18:42.240><c> have</c><00:18:42.380><c> felt</c><00:18:42.539><c> safe</c><00:18:42.839><c> there?</c>

00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:48.119
Three<00:18:47.039><c> and</c><00:18:47.200><c> a</c><00:18:47.259><c> half</c><00:18:47.400><c> years</c><00:18:47.660><c> earlier,</c>

00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:50.259
Ahab<00:18:48.740><c> had</c><00:18:48.920><c> written</c><00:18:49.079><c> around</c><00:18:49.380><c> to</c><00:18:49.579><c> all</c><00:18:49.740><c> the</c><00:18:49.940><c> surrounding</c>

00:18:50.259 --> 00:18:51.019
nations<00:18:50.720><c> saying,</c>

00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:52.180
do<00:18:51.339><c> you</c><00:18:51.339><c> know</c><00:18:51.420><c> where</c><00:18:51.660><c> Elijah</c><00:18:52.019><c> is?</c>

00:18:52.339 --> 00:18:53.500
If<00:18:52.339><c> you</c><00:18:52.440><c> do,</c><00:18:52.640><c> would</c><00:18:52.700><c> you</c><00:18:52.859><c> tell</c><00:18:53.000><c> me</c><00:18:53.200><c> please?</c>

00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:55.299
Is<00:18:53.920><c> Elijah</c><00:18:54.279><c> lodging</c><00:18:54.680><c> in</c><00:18:54.839><c> your</c><00:18:55.019><c> country?</c>

00:18:55.380 --> 00:18:56.099
No.<00:18:55.480><c> How</c><00:18:55.599><c> about</c><00:18:55.759><c> yours?</c>

00:18:56.099 --> 00:18:57.259
Lodging<00:18:56.740><c> in</c><00:18:56.920><c> your</c><00:18:57.039><c> country.</c>

00:18:57.559 --> 00:18:58.559
If<00:18:57.680><c> you</c><00:18:57.799><c> know</c><00:18:57.920><c> where</c><00:18:58.039><c> he</c><00:18:58.200><c> is,</c><00:18:58.400><c> tell</c><00:18:58.420><c> me.</c>

00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:00.680
I<00:18:58.660><c> need</c><00:18:58.880><c> his</c><00:18:59.099><c> neck</c><00:18:59.279><c> very</c><00:18:59.720><c> badly.</c>

00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:03.660
He's<00:19:01.619><c> responsible</c><00:19:02.039><c> for</c><00:19:02.480><c> a</c><00:19:02.900><c> lot</c><00:19:03.079><c> of</c><00:19:03.359><c> suffering</c>

00:19:03.660 --> 00:19:05.480
through<00:19:04.240><c> which</c><00:19:04.440><c> we're</c><00:19:04.640><c> going.</c>

00:19:06.220 --> 00:19:07.640
His<00:19:06.380><c> attitude</c><00:19:06.759><c> wouldn't</c><00:19:07.000><c> have</c><00:19:07.259><c> changed.</c>

00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:08.660
It<00:19:07.759><c> got</c><00:19:07.940><c> worse</c><00:19:08.279><c> now.</c>

00:19:08.859 --> 00:19:09.819
Admittedly<00:19:09.279><c> it</c><00:19:09.339><c> was</c><00:19:09.559><c> raining,</c>

00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:13.140
but<00:19:10.140><c> he'd</c><00:19:10.319><c> lost</c><00:19:10.440><c> 450</c><00:19:11.160><c> prophets</c><00:19:11.579><c> that</c><00:19:11.819><c> belonged</c><00:19:11.980><c> to</c><00:19:12.140><c> his</c><00:19:12.299><c> wife.</c>

00:19:13.500 --> 00:19:15.039
That<00:19:13.680><c> takes</c><00:19:13.779><c> a</c><00:19:13.900><c> bit</c><00:19:13.980><c> of</c><00:19:14.220><c> explaining.</c>

00:19:15.779 --> 00:19:18.420
Do<00:19:15.920><c> you</c><00:19:15.940><c> think</c><00:19:16.079><c> then</c><00:19:16.480><c> Elijah</c><00:19:16.819><c> would</c><00:19:17.019><c> have</c><00:19:17.119><c> felt</c><00:19:17.299><c> safe</c><00:19:17.640><c> in</c><00:19:18.099><c> Judah?</c>

00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:20.519
No<00:19:19.180><c> wonder</c><00:19:19.440><c> he</c><00:19:19.619><c> didn't</c><00:19:19.920><c> stay</c><00:19:20.259><c> there.</c>

00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:22.539
I<00:19:20.859><c> would</c><00:19:21.019><c> have</c><00:19:21.140><c> been</c><00:19:21.259><c> very</c><00:19:21.579><c> surprised</c><00:19:21.960><c> if</c><00:19:22.140><c> he</c><00:19:22.319><c> had.</c>

00:19:22.819 --> 00:19:24.380
But<00:19:22.980><c> the</c><00:19:23.079><c> word</c><00:19:23.220><c> of</c><00:19:23.400><c> God</c><00:19:23.500><c> doesn't</c><00:19:23.799><c> tell</c><00:19:24.039><c> us</c><00:19:24.240><c> that.</c>

00:19:24.380 --> 00:19:27.339
We<00:19:24.640><c> just</c><00:19:24.880><c> need</c><00:19:25.039><c> to</c><00:19:25.299><c> dig</c><00:19:25.460><c> a</c><00:19:25.579><c> little</c><00:19:25.819><c> bit.</c>

00:19:28.500 --> 00:19:33.259
And<00:19:28.660><c> so</c><00:19:28.779><c> he</c><00:19:28.920><c> comes</c><00:19:30.339><c> into</c><00:19:32.099><c> the</c><00:19:32.299><c> wilderness,</c>

00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:35.160
and<00:19:33.880><c> he</c><00:19:34.079><c> sleeps.</c>

00:19:36.980 --> 00:19:39.440
And<00:19:37.099><c> there</c><00:19:37.220><c> the</c><00:19:37.319><c> angel</c><00:19:37.539><c> of</c><00:19:37.640><c> God</c><00:19:37.859><c> touches</c><00:19:38.220><c> him</c>

00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:42.539
and<00:19:40.299><c> says,</c><00:19:40.940><c> arise,</c><00:19:41.619><c> Elijah.</c>

00:19:44.299 --> 00:19:48.779
He's<00:19:44.799><c> a</c><00:19:44.940><c> fire</c><00:19:45.200><c> of</c><00:19:45.420><c> coals</c><00:19:46.059><c> on</c><00:19:46.700><c> which</c><00:19:46.960><c> bread</c><00:19:47.400><c> was</c><00:19:47.680><c> baked.</c>

00:19:49.420 --> 00:19:50.640
Nearby<00:19:49.799><c> is</c><00:19:49.940><c> a</c><00:19:50.079><c> cruise</c><00:19:50.240><c> of</c><00:19:50.420><c> water.</c>

00:19:50.700 --> 00:19:53.819
Eat<00:19:50.900><c> and</c><00:19:51.099><c> drink,</c><00:19:52.119><c> for</c><00:19:52.220><c> the</c><00:19:52.400><c> journey</c><00:19:52.660><c> is</c><00:19:52.920><c> long.</c>

00:19:54.380 --> 00:19:56.400
And<00:19:54.779><c> he</c><00:19:54.839><c> wakes</c><00:19:55.200><c> and</c><00:19:55.579><c> he</c><00:19:55.720><c> eats</c><00:19:55.940><c> and</c><00:19:56.099><c> drinks</c>

00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:58.200

00:19:58.779 --> 00:20:01.460
Some<00:19:59.019><c> servants</c><00:19:59.400><c> of</c><00:19:59.640><c> God</c><00:19:59.859><c> need</c><00:20:00.240><c> prodding</c><00:20:00.640><c> more</c><00:20:00.940><c> than</c><00:20:01.119><c> once</c>

00:20:06.500 --> 00:20:08.559
The<00:20:06.579><c> angel</c><00:20:06.759><c> touches</c><00:20:07.079><c> him</c><00:20:07.279><c> again</c><00:20:07.960><c> and</c><00:20:08.420><c> says,</c>

This<00:21:42.400><c> is</c><00:21:42.900><c> God.</c>

00:21:43.220 --> 00:21:46.299

00:22:11.259 --> 00:22:14.839
This<00:22:11.740><c> was</c><00:22:12.000><c> a</c><00:22:12.099><c> real</c><00:22:12.799><c> wind,</c><00:22:13.180><c> a</c><00:22:13.319><c> real</c><00:22:13.799><c> earthquake</c>

00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:56.359
Well,<00:22:53.759><c> the</c><00:22:53.880><c> Divine</c><00:22:54.119><c> Presence</c><00:22:54.500><c> was</c><00:22:54.680><c> with</c><00:22:54.819><c> him</c><00:22:54.900><c> all</c><00:22:55.099><c> the</c><00:22:55.259><c> time.</c>

00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:12.359
We<00:23:09.220><c> want</c><00:23:09.440><c> God</c><00:23:09.640><c> to</c><00:23:09.779><c> be</c><00:23:09.980><c> manifested</c><00:23:10.519><c> hugely</c><00:23:11.039><c> in</c><00:23:11.259><c> our</c><00:23:11.420><c> lives</c>

To<00:23:17.700><c> the</c><00:23:17.920><c> Ecclesia</c><00:23:18.299><c> in</c><00:23:18.640><c> Ephesus</c><00:23:19.259><c> Paul</c><00:23:19.819><c> is</c><00:23:20.140><c> going</c><00:23:20.339><c> to</c><00:23:20.599><c> say</c>

00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:27.079
You<00:23:25.680><c> must</c><00:23:25.880><c> balance</c><00:23:26.779><c> it.</c>

00:23:27.460 --> 00:23:31.359
For<00:23:27.599><c> the</c><00:23:27.900><c> days</c><00:23:28.279><c> are</c><00:23:28.680><c> evil</c><00:23:29.319><c> in</c><00:23:30.039><c> which</c><00:23:30.240><c> we</c><00:23:30.480><c> live.</c>

00:23:31.779 --> 00:23:34.200
Man's<00:23:32.180><c> thinking</c><00:23:32.339><c> versus</c><00:23:32.640><c> God's</c><00:23:33.140><c> thinking</c><00:23:33.299><c> again.</c>

00:23:35.099 --> 00:23:37.539
The<00:23:35.299><c> Ephesians</c><00:23:35.660><c> would</c><00:23:35.839><c> have</c><00:23:35.980><c> said</c><00:23:36.079><c> you</c><00:23:36.220><c> are</c><00:23:36.339><c> nuts</c><00:23:36.660><c> saying</c><00:23:37.059><c> that.</c>

00:23:37.539 --> 00:23:40.299
We<00:23:37.799><c> live</c><00:23:37.960><c> in</c><00:23:38.099><c> a</c><00:23:38.259><c> prosperous</c><00:23:38.539><c> city,</c><00:23:39.599><c> prosperous</c><00:23:39.880><c> time.</c>

00:23:40.579 --> 00:23:41.660
We<00:23:40.619><c> all</c><00:23:40.880><c> have</c><00:23:41.079><c> possessions.</c>

00:23:42.059 --> 00:23:44.220
Tomorrow<00:23:42.380><c> is</c><00:23:42.660><c> glorious</c><00:23:43.140><c> and</c><00:23:43.400><c> today</c><00:23:43.660><c> is</c><00:23:43.799><c> wonderful.</c>

00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:47.339
And<00:23:44.839><c> yet</c><00:23:44.940><c> you</c><00:23:45.119><c> say</c><00:23:45.259><c> the</c><00:23:45.420><c> days</c><00:23:45.880><c> in</c><00:23:46.220><c> which</c><00:23:46.440><c> we</c><00:23:46.660><c> live</c><00:23:46.779><c> are</c><00:23:46.960><c> evil.</c>

00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:49.880
No,<00:23:48.660><c> but</c><00:23:48.819><c> they</c><00:23:48.960><c> were.</c>

00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:52.359
Days<00:23:50.859><c> you</c><00:23:51.079><c> see,</c><00:23:51.200><c> not</c><00:23:51.380><c> years.</c>

00:23:53.180 --> 00:23:55.519
Small<00:23:53.599><c> things</c><00:23:54.039><c> are</c><00:23:54.259><c> important.</c>

00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:59.099
And<00:23:56.819><c> Elijah</c><00:23:57.079><c> has</c><00:23:57.299><c> to</c><00:23:57.480><c> learn</c><00:23:57.599><c> it.</c>

00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:02.599
The<00:23:59.940><c> still</c><00:24:00.119><c> small</c><00:24:00.420><c> voice</c><00:24:00.759><c> speaks</c><00:24:01.099><c> to</c><00:24:01.279><c> him.</c>

00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:09.740
Now<00:24:06.059><c> if</c><00:24:06.180><c> you</c><00:24:06.359><c> will</c><00:24:06.519><c> hear,</c><00:24:07.380><c> if</c><00:24:07.920><c> you</c><00:24:08.099><c> will</c><00:24:08.259><c> hear</c><00:24:08.440><c> God</c>

00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:15.079
then<00:24:10.460><c> you</c><00:24:10.920><c> ask,</c><00:24:12.259><c> and</c><00:24:12.400><c> as</c><00:24:12.519><c> we</c><00:24:12.920><c> have</c><00:24:13.099><c> been</c><00:24:13.380><c> told</c><00:24:13.940><c> earlier</c>

00:24:15.460 --> 00:24:18.559
we<00:24:15.960><c> wait</c><00:24:16.460><c> for</c><00:24:17.319><c> direction.</c>

00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:23.420
Commit<00:24:19.940><c> your</c><00:24:20.079><c> ways</c><00:24:20.220><c> to</c><00:24:20.440><c> God</c><00:24:21.059><c> and</c><00:24:21.579><c> wait</c><00:24:21.980><c> for</c><00:24:22.380><c> direction.</c>

00:24:24.420 --> 00:24:27.000
And<00:24:24.599><c> it</c><00:24:24.720><c> came</c><00:24:24.980><c> for</c><00:24:25.220><c> Elijah</c><00:24:25.619><c> immediately.</c>

00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:28.920
Three<00:24:28.519><c> things.</c>

00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:29.940
You<00:24:29.119><c> want</c><00:24:29.240><c> to</c><00:24:29.319><c> know</c><00:24:29.380><c> what</c><00:24:29.579><c> to</c><00:24:29.740><c> do?</c>

00:24:30.059 --> 00:24:31.019
I'll<00:24:30.220><c> tell</c><00:24:30.359><c> you</c><00:24:30.420><c> what</c><00:24:30.559><c> to</c><00:24:30.700><c> do.</c>

00:24:31.019 --> 00:24:33.960
And<00:24:31.839><c> it's</c><00:24:32.079><c> all</c><00:24:32.380><c> bad</c><00:24:32.640><c> news.</c>

00:24:34.380 --> 00:24:37.759
First<00:24:34.500><c> thing,</c><00:24:35.380><c> anoint</c><00:24:35.579><c> Hazael</c><00:24:36.200><c> to</c><00:24:36.799><c> be</c><00:24:36.960><c> king</c><00:24:37.140><c> over</c><00:24:37.440><c> Syria.</c>

00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:39.339
Oh,<00:24:38.559><c> not</c><00:24:38.920><c> Hazael.</c>

00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:40.700
I<00:24:39.680><c> know</c><00:24:39.799><c> Hazael.</c>

00:24:41.099 --> 00:24:43.740
If<00:24:41.480><c> Hazael</c><00:24:41.880><c> is</c><00:24:42.200><c> anointed</c><00:24:42.519><c> king</c><00:24:42.779><c> over</c><00:24:43.039><c> Syria,</c><00:24:43.299><c> it's</c><00:24:43.400><c> bad</c><00:24:43.579><c> news</c>

00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:44.779
for<00:24:43.920><c> Israel.</c>

00:24:44.900 --> 00:24:47.740
He's<00:24:45.140><c> a</c><00:24:45.220><c> man</c><00:24:45.299><c> of</c><00:24:45.480><c> blood,</c><00:24:45.759><c> he's</c><00:24:45.880><c> a</c><00:24:45.900><c> man</c><00:24:46.039><c> of</c><00:24:46.259><c> war,</c><00:24:46.700><c> very</c><00:24:46.940><c> strong</c><00:24:47.279><c> man.</c>

00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:49.359
Oh,<00:24:48.259><c> that's</c><00:24:48.500><c> not</c><00:24:48.640><c> all.</c>

00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:53.900
Anoint<00:24:50.400><c> Jehu</c><00:24:50.920><c> to</c><00:24:51.599><c> be</c><00:24:51.779><c> king</c><00:24:52.299><c> over</c><00:24:52.759><c> Israel.</c>

00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:56.079
Oh,<00:24:54.640><c> not</c><00:24:55.019><c> Jehu.</c>

00:24:56.700 --> 00:24:58.960
We<00:24:57.220><c> know</c><00:24:57.460><c> Jehu</c><00:24:57.880><c> because</c><00:24:58.220><c> of</c><00:24:58.460><c> the</c><00:24:58.640><c> expression</c>

00:25:01.420 --> 00:25:04.480
Forget<00:25:01.920><c> furiously,</c><00:25:02.940><c> the</c><00:25:03.099><c> word</c><00:25:03.240><c> means</c><00:25:03.519><c> idiot.</c>

00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:06.940
He<00:25:04.900><c> drives</c><00:25:05.059><c> like</c><00:25:05.859><c> an</c><00:25:06.099><c> idiot.</c>

00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:09.079
Truly,<00:25:07.900><c> that's</c><00:25:07.980><c> what</c><00:25:08.099><c> he</c><00:25:08.200><c> means.</c>

00:25:09.380 --> 00:25:11.720
He's<00:25:09.900><c> a</c><00:25:10.059><c> lunatic,</c><00:25:10.539><c> is</c><00:25:10.640><c> this</c><00:25:10.819><c> man.</c>

And<00:25:12.380><c> Elijah</c><00:25:12.660><c> knew</c><00:25:12.880><c> it.</c>

00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:17.400
And<00:25:14.539><c> he</c><00:25:14.599><c> said,</c><00:25:14.859><c> if</c><00:25:14.940><c> this</c><00:25:15.240><c> man</c><00:25:15.440><c> is</c><00:25:16.099><c> promoted</c><00:25:16.559><c> to</c><00:25:16.880><c> king</c><00:25:17.140><c> over</c>

God's<00:25:17.859><c> people</c>

00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:21.359

00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:23.299
he's<00:25:21.519><c> a</c><00:25:21.619><c> man</c><00:25:21.720><c> of</c><00:25:21.960><c> blood,</c><00:25:22.279><c> he's</c><00:25:22.500><c> a</c><00:25:22.660><c> violent</c><00:25:22.960><c> man.</c>

00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:24.740
Haven't<00:25:23.539><c> finished</c><00:25:23.859><c> yet.</c>

00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:29.579

00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:31.279
What?

00:25:33.339 --> 00:25:35.660
Hazael<00:25:33.799><c> is</c><00:25:33.980><c> bad</c><00:25:34.200><c> enough,</c><00:25:35.039><c> Jehu</c><00:25:35.220><c> is</c><00:25:35.480><c> worse,</c>

00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:41.920
but<00:25:36.039><c> here</c><00:25:36.359><c> am</c><00:25:36.539><c> I,</c><00:25:36.700><c> about</c><00:25:36.980><c> forty,</c><00:25:39.519><c> laid</c><00:25:39.700><c> off,</c><00:25:40.980><c> redundant,</c>

00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:47.799
I've<00:25:45.599><c> just</c><00:25:45.799><c> proved</c><00:25:46.039><c> that</c><00:25:46.519><c> by</c><00:25:46.799><c> walking</c><00:25:47.140><c> for</c><00:25:47.359><c> six</c><00:25:47.559><c> weeks</c>

00:25:54.140 --> 00:25:55.079
Elijah?

00:25:55.619 --> 00:25:57.559
I<00:25:56.059><c> doubt</c><00:25:56.319><c> if</c><00:25:56.519><c> he</c><00:25:56.559><c> even</c><00:25:56.819><c> knew</c><00:25:56.940><c> him.</c>

00:25:57.819 --> 00:25:59.559
He<00:25:57.900><c> was</c><00:25:58.079><c> not</c><00:25:58.220><c> one</c><00:25:58.380><c> of</c><00:25:58.500><c> the</c><00:25:58.539><c> sons</c><00:25:58.759><c> of</c><00:25:58.960><c> the</c><00:25:59.099><c> prophets,</c><00:25:59.380><c> that's</c>

00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:01.740

00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:07.359
Anoint<00:26:04.819><c> Elijah</c><00:26:05.319><c> to</c><00:26:05.519><c> be</c><00:26:05.680><c> prophet</c><00:26:05.920><c> in</c><00:26:06.119><c> your</c><00:26:06.339><c> room.</c>

Yes,<00:26:10.400><c> the</c><00:26:10.400><c> word</c><00:26:10.640><c> of</c><00:26:10.700><c> God,</c><00:26:10.940><c> brethren</c><00:26:11.200><c> and</c><00:26:11.420><c> sisters,</c>

he's<00:26:11.980><c> revealed</c><00:26:12.259><c> to</c><00:26:12.480><c> us</c><00:26:12.839><c> in</c><00:26:13.160><c> small</c><00:26:13.519><c> things.</c>

00:26:15.019 --> 00:26:16.480
And<00:26:15.440><c> we</c><00:26:15.559><c> have</c><00:26:15.759><c> to</c><00:26:15.940><c> hear,</c>

00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:18.859
and<00:26:16.920><c> whilst</c><00:26:17.059><c> it</c><00:26:17.119><c> was</c><00:26:17.299><c> bad</c><00:26:17.519><c> news</c><00:26:17.920><c> for</c><00:26:18.500><c> Elijah,</c>

00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:21.339
you<00:26:19.259><c> see,</c><00:26:19.400><c> not</c><00:26:19.559><c> only</c><00:26:19.779><c> did</c><00:26:19.900><c> he</c><00:26:20.079><c> have</c><00:26:20.220><c> redundancy</c><00:26:20.799><c> in</c><00:26:20.960><c> his</c><00:26:21.140><c> head,</c>

00:26:21.339 --> 00:26:24.519
he<00:26:21.660><c> had</c><00:26:21.980><c> a</c><00:26:23.339><c> threat</c><00:26:23.519><c> of</c><00:26:23.640><c> his</c><00:26:23.759><c> life</c><00:26:23.880><c> in</c><00:26:24.039><c> his</c><00:26:24.200><c> hand.</c>

00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:26.700
Maybe<00:26:24.960><c> he</c><00:26:25.099><c> was</c><00:26:25.240><c> still</c><00:26:25.440><c> holding</c><00:26:25.819><c> the</c><00:26:26.460><c> letter</c>

00:26:26.700 --> 00:26:28.460
which<00:26:26.900><c> came</c><00:26:27.099><c> from</c><00:26:27.359><c> Jezebel.</c>

00:26:30.900 --> 00:26:34.259
Death<00:26:31.180><c> sentence</c><00:26:31.559><c> and</c><00:26:31.799><c> redundancy,</c><00:26:32.720><c> all</c><00:26:32.900><c> in</c><00:26:33.079><c> six</c><00:26:33.259><c> weeks.</c>

00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:37.680
It<00:26:35.339><c> doesn't</c><00:26:35.380><c> get</c><00:26:35.480><c> much</c><00:26:35.660><c> worse</c><00:26:35.839><c> than</c><00:26:36.039><c> that,</c><00:26:36.259><c> do</c><00:26:36.299><c> you?</c>

00:26:39.420 --> 00:26:43.339
And<00:26:39.900><c> so,</c><00:26:41.460><c> it</c><00:26:41.680><c> might</c><00:26:41.960><c> have</c><00:26:42.180><c> been</c><00:26:42.380><c> that</c><00:26:42.680><c> the</c><00:26:42.799><c> Father,</c>

00:26:43.619 --> 00:26:45.660
the<00:26:43.779><c> Divine</c><00:26:44.119><c> Presence</c><00:26:44.559><c> was</c><00:26:44.799><c> telling</c><00:26:45.140><c> Elijah,</c>

00:26:45.660 --> 00:26:51.980
you<00:26:46.460><c> see,</c><00:26:47.700><c> you,</c><00:26:48.980><c> you</c><00:26:49.519><c> are</c><00:26:49.759><c> represented</c><00:26:50.339><c> by</c><00:26:51.299><c> the</c><00:26:51.579><c> wind</c>

00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:54.000
and<00:26:52.579><c> the</c><00:26:52.720><c> earthquake</c><00:26:53.119><c> and</c><00:26:53.559><c> the</c><00:26:53.759><c> fire,</c>

00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:56.900
all<00:26:54.660><c> crashing</c><00:26:55.019><c> and</c><00:26:55.319><c> banging</c><00:26:55.619><c> and</c><00:26:55.980><c> noise</c><00:26:56.240><c> and</c><00:26:56.500><c> violence.</c>

00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:57.920
That's<00:26:57.400><c> you,</c><00:26:57.680><c> Elijah.</c>

00:26:58.339 --> 00:26:59.119
And<00:26:58.539><c> did</c><00:26:58.640><c> it</c><00:26:58.839><c> work?</c>

00:26:59.539 --> 00:27:01.259
Well,<00:26:59.740><c> the</c><00:26:59.839><c> people</c><00:27:00.000><c> aren't</c><00:27:00.220><c> convinced.</c>

00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:03.720
So<00:27:02.299><c> now</c><00:27:02.519><c> we'll</c><00:27:02.759><c> use</c><00:27:02.900><c> another</c><00:27:03.180><c> agency.</c>

00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:05.599
And<00:27:04.279><c> the</c><00:27:04.460><c> agency</c><00:27:04.779><c> that</c><00:27:04.940><c> we</c><00:27:05.119><c> use</c><00:27:05.259><c> this</c><00:27:05.460><c> time</c>

00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:07.039
will<00:27:05.740><c> be</c><00:27:05.839><c> something</c><00:27:06.119><c> absolutely</c><00:27:06.619><c> different.</c>

00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:08.799
And<00:27:07.480><c> the</c><00:27:07.680><c> agency</c><00:27:08.000><c> is</c><00:27:08.259><c> called</c><00:27:08.440><c> Elijah,</c>

00:27:09.019 --> 00:27:10.259
and<00:27:09.119><c> it's</c><00:27:09.220><c> very</c><00:27:09.519><c> different</c><00:27:09.740><c> from</c><00:27:09.920><c> Elijah.</c>

00:27:10.500 --> 00:27:13.359
Elijah<00:27:10.839><c> was</c><00:27:11.059><c> a</c><00:27:11.059><c> man</c><00:27:11.279><c> of</c><00:27:11.599><c> action,</c><00:27:11.980><c> a</c><00:27:12.019><c> man</c><00:27:12.119><c> of</c><00:27:12.660><c> violence,</c>

00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:16.180
although<00:27:13.640><c> that's</c><00:27:14.039><c> evidence</c><00:27:14.259><c> that</c><00:27:14.420><c> he</c><00:27:14.460><c> was</c><00:27:14.619><c> on</c><00:27:14.759><c> the</c><00:27:14.880><c> mountain.</c>

00:27:16.380 --> 00:27:17.359
Elijah<00:27:16.380><c> was</c><00:27:16.599><c> totally</c><00:27:16.960><c> different.</c>

00:27:17.579 --> 00:27:23.099
Now,<00:27:18.500><c> we'll</c><00:27:18.660><c> call</c><00:27:18.859><c> God's</c><00:27:19.279><c> people</c><00:27:19.519><c> with</c><00:27:19.900><c> the</c><00:27:20.019><c> still,</c><00:27:21.059><c> small</c><00:27:21.799><c> voice.</c>

00:27:25.819 --> 00:27:28.759
And<00:27:25.920><c> we,</c><00:27:26.160><c> brethren</c><00:27:26.299><c> and</c><00:27:26.539><c> sisters,</c><00:27:26.940><c> from</c><00:27:27.279><c> time</c><00:27:27.440><c> to</c><00:27:27.599><c> time,</c>

00:27:28.779 --> 00:27:31.640
it<00:27:28.779><c> must</c><00:27:29.000><c> be</c><00:27:29.220><c> hard</c><00:27:29.299><c> to</c><00:27:29.480><c> ask,</c><00:27:29.700><c> Lord,</c><00:27:30.059><c> what</c><00:27:30.279><c> do</c><00:27:31.059><c> you</c><00:27:31.079><c> want</c><00:27:31.240><c> me</c><00:27:31.420><c> to</c><00:27:31.539><c> do?</c>

00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:34.359
Strange<00:27:32.000><c> thing</c><00:27:32.240><c> is,</c><00:27:33.039><c> Elijah</c><00:27:33.259><c> only</c><00:27:33.539><c> did</c><00:27:33.660><c> the</c><00:27:33.819><c> last</c><00:27:34.000><c> one.</c>

00:27:34.740 --> 00:27:36.599
He<00:27:34.880><c> didn't</c><00:27:35.220><c> anoint</c><00:27:35.480><c> Haseel.</c>

00:27:36.660 --> 00:27:38.339
He<00:27:36.799><c> didn't</c><00:27:37.079><c> anoint</c><00:27:37.339><c> Jehu.</c>

00:27:38.500 --> 00:27:41.039
He<00:27:38.680><c> just</c><00:27:38.960><c> promoted</c><00:27:39.680><c> Elijah.</c>

00:27:42.259 --> 00:27:43.559
Thank<00:27:42.660><c> you.</c>

00:27:43.779 --> 00:27:48.000
He<00:27:43.819><c> just</c><00:27:44.039><c> promoted</c><00:27:45.339><c> Elijah</c><00:27:46.259><c> to</c><00:27:47.079><c> be</c><00:27:47.279><c> prophet</c><00:27:47.500><c> in</c><00:27:47.660><c> his</c><00:27:47.880><c> room.</c>

00:27:48.140 --> 00:27:50.000
You<00:27:48.220><c> may</c><00:27:48.420><c> very</c><00:27:48.640><c> well</c><00:27:48.819><c> ask,</c>

00:27:50.859 --> 00:27:52.940
why<00:27:51.259><c> did</c><00:27:51.519><c> he</c><00:27:51.660><c> not</c><00:27:51.940><c> fulfil</c><00:27:52.299><c> the</c><00:27:52.440><c> word</c><00:27:52.599><c> of</c><00:27:52.799><c> God?</c>

00:27:53.220 --> 00:27:54.940
Why<00:27:53.420><c> did</c><00:27:53.640><c> he</c><00:27:53.819><c> not</c><00:27:54.180><c> promote</c><00:27:54.519><c> Haseel?</c>

00:27:55.099 --> 00:27:57.559
Why<00:27:55.299><c> did</c><00:27:55.519><c> he</c><00:27:55.619><c> not</c><00:27:55.740><c> go</c><00:27:55.980><c> to</c><00:27:56.200><c> Jehu</c><00:27:56.440><c> and</c><00:27:56.579><c> pour</c><00:27:56.819><c> oil</c><00:27:57.000><c> on</c><00:27:57.160><c> his</c><00:27:57.400><c> head</c>

00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:00.500
and<00:27:58.059><c> say,</c><00:27:58.420><c> God</c><00:27:58.519><c> has</c><00:27:58.920><c> anointed</c><00:27:59.200><c> you</c><00:27:59.400><c> to</c><00:27:59.519><c> be</c><00:27:59.619><c> king</c><00:27:59.779><c> over</c><00:28:00.000><c> his</c><00:28:00.180><c> people?</c>

00:28:00.859 --> 00:28:02.859
Why<00:28:01.160><c> did</c><00:28:01.339><c> he</c><00:28:01.460><c> not</c><00:28:01.599><c> do</c><00:28:01.799><c> that?</c>

00:28:02.900 --> 00:28:03.779
And<00:28:03.000><c> the</c><00:28:03.119><c> answer</c><00:28:03.319><c> is,</c><00:28:03.460><c> we</c><00:28:03.519><c> don't</c><00:28:03.660><c> know,</c>

00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:04.980
because<00:28:04.019><c> the</c><00:28:04.119><c> word</c><00:28:04.200><c> of</c><00:28:04.319><c> God</c><00:28:04.380><c> doesn't</c><00:28:04.619><c> tell</c><00:28:04.799><c> us.</c>

00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:08.640
So<00:28:05.240><c> we</c><00:28:05.380><c> must</c><00:28:05.720><c> surmise</c><00:28:06.359><c> if</c><00:28:06.920><c> we</c><00:28:07.220><c> want</c><00:28:07.400><c> to</c><00:28:07.759><c> guess</c><00:28:08.019><c> for</c><00:28:08.240><c> an</c><00:28:08.380><c> answer.</c>

00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:12.180
And<00:28:09.000><c> my</c><00:28:09.359><c> guess</c><00:28:09.759><c> would</c><00:28:10.140><c> be</c><00:28:11.000><c> that</c><00:28:11.359><c> Haseel,</c>

00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:14.900
he's<00:28:12.700><c> still</c><00:28:13.059><c> too</c><00:28:13.339><c> young</c><00:28:13.579><c> to</c><00:28:13.779><c> be</c><00:28:13.980><c> promoted,</c>

00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:17.359
and<00:28:15.359><c> Jehu</c><00:28:15.740><c> hasn't</c><00:28:16.160><c> reached</c><00:28:16.599><c> manhood</c><00:28:17.059><c> yet,</c>

00:28:17.500 --> 00:28:19.599
and<00:28:17.660><c> therefore</c><00:28:17.960><c> cannot</c><00:28:18.319><c> be</c><00:28:18.660><c> promoted.</c>

00:28:24.460 --> 00:28:26.799
Some<00:28:24.859><c> farm,</c><00:28:25.160><c> eh?</c>

00:28:27.980 --> 00:28:30.099
Twelve<00:28:28.380><c> yoke</c><00:28:28.619><c> of</c><00:28:28.839><c> oxen,</c>

00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.220
and<00:28:30.940><c> Elijah</c><00:28:31.279><c> ploughing</c><00:28:31.700><c> with</c><00:28:31.880><c> the</c><00:28:32.000><c> last</c><00:28:32.200><c> one.</c>

00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:36.980
You're<00:28:34.720><c> not</c><00:28:34.900><c> talking</c><00:28:35.119><c> about</c><00:28:35.319><c> a</c><00:28:35.420><c> couple</c><00:28:35.559><c> of</c><00:28:35.740><c> acres,</c><00:28:35.960><c> you</c><00:28:36.160><c> know.</c>

00:28:37.779 --> 00:28:45.980

00:31:59.740 --> 00:32:03.079
He<00:31:59.740><c> had</c><00:31:59.900><c> two</c><00:32:00.160><c> capitals,</c><00:32:00.720><c> you</c><00:32:00.720><c> see,</c><00:32:01.319><c> Jezreel</c><00:32:02.259><c> and</c><00:32:02.460><c> Samaria,</c>

00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:05.539
and<00:32:03.480><c> he</c><00:32:04.440><c> went</c><00:32:04.799><c> between</c><00:32:05.140><c> them</c><00:32:05.339><c> both.</c>

00:32:05.779 --> 00:32:09.079
Now<00:32:06.000><c> he's</c><00:32:06.180><c> in</c><00:32:06.380><c> Samaria,</c><00:32:07.220><c> just</c><00:32:07.500><c> outside</c><00:32:07.960><c> his</c><00:32:08.420><c> palace</c><00:32:08.720><c> wall.</c>

He's<00:32:09.539><c> a</c><00:32:09.720><c> cracking</c><00:32:10.039><c> field.</c>

00:32:10.940 --> 00:32:13.700
Unfortunately,<00:32:11.519><c> he's</c><00:32:11.619><c> owned</c><00:32:11.700><c> by</c><00:32:11.960><c> Naboth,</c><00:32:12.319><c> and</c><00:32:12.480><c> he</c><00:32:12.559><c> wants</c><00:32:12.759><c> it.</c>

00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:15.359
So<00:32:13.900><c> he</c><00:32:13.940><c> goes</c><00:32:14.099><c> to</c><00:32:14.279><c> Naboth,</c><00:32:14.599><c> and</c><00:32:14.720><c> he</c><00:32:14.799><c> says,</c><00:32:15.000><c> I'll</c><00:32:15.160><c> tell</c><00:32:15.240><c> you</c>

00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:16.380

00:32:17.940 --> 00:32:21.619
And<00:32:18.619><c> if</c><00:32:18.900><c> we</c><00:32:19.140><c> can't</c><00:32:19.480><c> agree</c><00:32:19.700><c> on</c><00:32:19.859><c> a</c><00:32:20.059><c> price,</c><00:32:20.559><c> I'll</c><00:32:20.819><c> give</c><00:32:21.000><c> you</c><00:32:21.180><c> good</c><00:32:21.359><c> cash.</c>

00:32:21.859 --> 00:32:23.740
But<00:32:21.920><c> if</c><00:32:22.160><c> you'd</c><00:32:22.700><c> rather</c><00:32:22.980><c> have</c><00:32:23.200><c> another</c><00:32:23.480><c> field,</c>

00:32:26.380 --> 00:32:29.559
He<00:32:26.619><c> thought</c><00:32:26.779><c> he</c><00:32:26.900><c> was</c><00:32:27.079><c> on</c><00:32:27.279><c> a</c><00:32:27.640><c> winner</c><00:32:27.819><c>-to</c><00:32:28.000><c>-nothing</c><00:32:28.180><c> situation.</c>

Couldn't<00:32:30.319><c> lose</c><00:32:30.660><c> with</c><00:32:30.880><c> that.</c>

00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:34.819
He<00:32:32.279><c> didn't</c><00:32:32.519><c> bargain</c><00:32:32.900><c> for</c><00:32:33.460><c> the</c><00:32:33.680><c> man</c><00:32:33.799><c> of</c><00:32:34.000><c> God's</c><00:32:34.559><c> reply,</c>

00:32:36.460 --> 00:32:38.299
He<00:32:36.480><c> says,</c><00:32:36.700><c> I</c><00:32:36.740><c> can't</c><00:32:37.000><c> give</c><00:32:37.180><c> the</c><00:32:37.359><c> inheritance</c><00:32:37.720><c> of</c><00:32:37.900><c> my</c><00:32:38.059><c> fathers</c>

00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:43.740
I<00:32:41.799><c> must</c><00:32:42.099><c> keep</c><00:32:42.339><c> it</c><00:32:42.480><c> for</c><00:32:42.640><c> my</c><00:32:42.900><c> sons.</c>

00:32:53.779 --> 00:32:55.660
He<00:32:53.779><c> wanted</c><00:32:54.019><c> it</c><00:32:54.180><c> for</c><00:32:54.299><c> a</c><00:32:54.380><c> garden</c><00:32:54.539><c> of</c><00:32:54.759><c> herbs.</c>

00:34:40.179 --> 00:34:43.340
This<00:34:40.300><c> is</c><00:34:40.719><c> Elijah</c><00:34:41.099><c> speaking</c><00:34:41.800><c> to</c><00:34:42.159><c> Ahab.</c>

And<00:34:43.440><c> thou</c><00:34:43.659><c> shalt</c><00:34:43.900><c> speak</c><00:34:44.320><c> unto</c><00:34:44.780><c> him,</c><00:34:45.639><c> saying,</c>

Thus<00:34:46.179><c> saith</c><00:34:46.679><c> the</c><00:34:47.079><c> Lord.</c>

Passiveness,<00:34:59.280><c> you</c><00:34:59.820><c> see,</c><00:35:00.340><c> is</c><00:35:00.579><c> sin.</c>

thou<00:36:22.000><c> shalt</c><00:36:22.340><c> not</c><00:36:22.579><c> kill.</c>

00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:24.920
And<00:36:23.320><c> the</c><00:36:23.559><c> little</c><00:36:23.820><c> one,</c><00:36:24.159><c> brethren</c><00:36:24.380><c> and</c><00:36:24.619><c> sisters,</c>

00:36:25.139 --> 00:36:27.500
always<00:36:25.739><c> leads</c><00:36:26.099><c> to</c><00:36:26.320><c> the</c><00:36:26.420><c> big</c><00:36:26.679><c> one.</c>

00:36:27.659 --> 00:36:31.039
If<00:36:28.019><c> somebody</c><00:36:28.340><c> had</c><00:36:28.559><c> said</c><00:36:28.659><c> to</c><00:36:28.880><c> Ahab,</c><00:36:29.480><c> I'll</c><00:36:29.599><c> tell</c><00:36:29.699><c> you</c><00:36:29.820><c> what,</c><00:36:30.179><c> Ahab,</c>

00:36:31.420 --> 00:36:32.300
there's<00:36:31.780><c> a</c><00:36:32.000><c> sword,</c>

00:36:32.460 --> 00:36:35.420
and<00:36:32.639><c> I'm</c><00:36:32.760><c> going</c><00:36:32.900><c> to</c><00:36:32.980><c> give</c><00:36:33.079><c> you</c><00:36:33.260><c> the</c><00:36:33.320><c> name</c><00:36:33.500><c> and</c><00:36:33.659><c> address</c><00:36:34.119><c> of</c><00:36:34.980><c> Naboth</c>

00:36:35.420 --> 00:36:37.659
and<00:36:35.920><c> give</c><00:36:36.099><c> you</c><00:36:36.260><c> the</c><00:36:36.460><c> time</c><00:36:36.619><c> when</c><00:36:36.840><c> nobody</c><00:36:37.179><c> will</c><00:36:37.400><c> be</c><00:36:37.559><c> there.</c>

00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:38.699
Now<00:36:37.800><c> go</c><00:36:37.940><c> and</c><00:36:38.059><c> kill</c><00:36:38.219><c> him,</c><00:36:38.360><c> will</c><00:36:38.519><c> you?</c>

00:36:38.820 --> 00:36:40.719
He<00:36:38.960><c> would</c><00:36:39.139><c> have</c><00:36:39.219><c> said,</c><00:36:39.460><c> not</c><00:36:39.659><c> likely.</c>

00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:42.079
Wouldn't<00:36:41.719><c> he?</c>

00:36:42.420 --> 00:36:43.519
He<00:36:42.619><c> would</c><00:36:42.699><c> have</c><00:36:42.719><c> said,</c><00:36:42.880><c> I'm</c><00:36:43.000><c> not</c><00:36:43.119><c> doing</c><00:36:43.300><c> that.</c>

00:36:43.619 --> 00:36:45.780
But<00:36:43.820><c> see</c><00:36:44.280><c> how</c><00:36:44.460><c> it's</c><00:36:44.760><c> introduced.</c>

00:36:46.500 --> 00:36:49.320
Little<00:36:46.820><c> things</c><00:36:47.119><c> always</c><00:36:47.900><c> lead</c><00:36:48.300><c> to</c><00:36:48.599><c> big</c><00:36:48.920><c> things.</c>

00:36:49.500 --> 00:36:51.380
You<00:36:49.780><c> cannot</c><00:36:50.199><c> flirt</c><00:36:50.719><c> with</c><00:36:51.119><c> sin.</c>

00:36:51.500 --> 00:36:52.900
That's<00:36:51.800><c> the</c><00:36:51.960><c> principle.</c>

00:36:53.579 --> 00:36:56.199
Don't<00:36:54.019><c> think</c><00:36:54.300><c> I'll</c><00:36:54.559><c> try</c><00:36:54.900><c> this.</c>

00:36:57.500 --> 00:36:57.940
I'll<00:36:57.559><c> get</c><00:36:57.780><c> away.</c>

00:36:58.159 --> 00:36:59.260
I<00:36:58.420><c> can</c><00:36:58.579><c> put</c><00:36:58.760><c> the</c><00:36:58.920><c> brakes</c><00:36:59.079><c> on.</c>

00:36:59.260 --> 00:37:00.539
I<00:36:59.320><c> know</c><00:36:59.420><c> where</c><00:36:59.559><c> the</c><00:36:59.739><c> brake</c><00:36:59.920><c> pedal</c><00:37:00.159><c> is.</c>

00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:01.960
You<00:37:01.079><c> cannot</c><00:37:01.360><c> do</c><00:37:01.579><c> it.</c>

00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:04.719
It's<00:37:02.719><c> a</c><00:37:03.039><c> steep</c><00:37:03.539><c> slide,</c>

00:37:04.739 --> 00:37:07.980
and<00:37:04.780><c> one</c><00:37:05.000><c> thing</c><00:37:05.179><c> leads</c><00:37:05.599><c> to</c><00:37:07.119><c> another.</c>

00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:10.400
Do<00:37:08.559><c> you</c><00:37:08.579><c> remember</c><00:37:08.800><c> the</c><00:37:08.980><c> commandment</c><00:37:09.340><c> of</c><00:37:09.480><c> the</c><00:37:09.539><c> Lord</c><00:37:09.739><c> Jesus</c><00:37:10.079><c> Christ,</c>

00:37:10.460 --> 00:37:11.480
Luke<00:37:10.599><c> chapter</c><00:37:10.800><c> 12,</c><00:37:11.079><c> verse</c><00:37:11.199><c> 15?</c>

00:37:11.539 --> 00:37:13.239
Don't<00:37:11.699><c> go</c><00:37:11.840><c> there,</c><00:37:11.940><c> we</c><00:37:12.039><c> don't</c><00:37:12.260><c> have</c><00:37:12.420><c> time.</c>

00:37:13.500 --> 00:37:15.840
Beware<00:37:13.940><c> of</c><00:37:14.219><c> covetousness,</c><00:37:14.840><c> he</c><00:37:14.980><c> said.</c>

00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:17.719
Beware<00:37:16.860><c> of</c><00:37:17.019><c> covetousness.</c>

00:37:18.139 --> 00:37:19.579
Here's<00:37:18.300><c> a</c><00:37:18.420><c> little</c><00:37:18.579><c> question</c><00:37:18.900><c> for</c><00:37:19.099><c> you</c><00:37:19.260><c> to</c><00:37:19.420><c> think.</c>

00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:21.519
If<00:37:19.920><c> anybody</c><00:37:20.199><c> wants</c><00:37:20.460><c> to</c><00:37:21.000><c> give</c><00:37:21.099><c> me</c><00:37:21.219><c> the</c><00:37:21.360><c> answer,</c>

00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:22.619
please<00:37:21.840><c> do</c><00:37:22.380><c> so.</c>

00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:24.179
We<00:37:23.119><c> can</c><00:37:23.500><c> arrange</c><00:37:23.800><c> that.</c>

00:37:24.619 --> 00:37:26.300
Just<00:37:24.719><c> come</c><00:37:24.880><c> up</c><00:37:25.000><c> to</c><00:37:25.139><c> the</c><00:37:25.260><c> front</c><00:37:25.400><c> and</c><00:37:25.559><c> talk.</c>

00:37:27.579 --> 00:37:31.619
When<00:37:28.059><c> Jethro</c><00:37:28.539><c> met</c><00:37:29.739><c> Moses</c><00:37:30.199><c> in</c><00:37:30.420><c> the</c><00:37:30.599><c> wilderness</c>

00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:34.219
and<00:37:32.519><c> gave</c><00:37:32.840><c> him</c><00:37:33.079><c> the</c><00:37:33.280><c> advice</c><00:37:33.659><c> that</c><00:37:33.840><c> he</c><00:37:34.000><c> did,</c>

00:37:34.219 --> 00:37:35.960
which<00:37:34.380><c> was</c><00:37:34.579><c> very</c><00:37:34.900><c> beneficial,</c>

00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:40.360
what<00:37:37.179><c> were</c><00:37:37.400><c> the</c><00:37:37.599><c> two</c><00:37:37.940><c> characteristics</c><00:37:38.800><c> of</c><00:37:39.480><c> the</c><00:37:39.699><c> man</c>

00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:43.440
whom<00:37:41.039><c> Jethro</c><00:37:41.739><c> said</c><00:37:42.239><c> Moses</c><00:37:42.780><c> should</c><00:37:43.019><c> look</c><00:37:43.280><c> for?</c>

00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:45.179
You<00:37:43.679><c> remember</c><00:37:43.920><c> the</c><00:37:44.059><c> situation.</c>

00:37:45.420 --> 00:37:46.699
Moses<00:37:45.780><c> was</c><00:37:46.340><c> crazy.</c>

00:37:47.179 --> 00:37:50.380
He<00:37:47.639><c> got</c><00:37:47.820><c> a</c><00:37:48.000><c> line</c><00:37:48.219><c> up</c><00:37:48.500><c> to</c><00:37:48.659><c> his</c><00:37:48.860><c> tent</c><00:37:49.019><c> all</c><00:37:49.260><c> day</c><00:37:49.460><c> long</c><00:37:49.619><c> and</c><00:37:49.820><c> night</c><00:37:50.019><c> long,</c>

00:37:50.619 --> 00:37:51.239
judging<00:37:50.800><c> the</c><00:37:50.980><c> people.</c>

00:37:51.239 --> 00:37:54.079
Jethro<00:37:51.760><c> comes</c><00:37:51.960><c> along</c><00:37:52.219><c> and</c><00:37:52.400><c> says</c><00:37:52.500><c> you</c><00:37:52.579><c> want</c><00:37:52.760><c> to</c><00:37:53.119><c> delegate,</c>

00:37:54.219 --> 00:37:56.280
get<00:37:54.360><c> rid</c><00:37:54.559><c> of</c><00:37:54.699><c> some</c><00:37:54.860><c> of</c><00:37:54.980><c> the</c><00:37:55.179><c> easy</c><00:37:55.460><c> cases</c><00:37:55.800><c> to</c><00:37:55.960><c> other</c><00:37:56.099><c> people.</c>

00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:58.079
You<00:37:56.480><c> just</c><00:37:56.739><c> judge</c><00:37:56.880><c> the</c><00:37:57.079><c> hard</c><00:37:57.239><c> cases</c><00:37:57.519><c> for</c><00:37:57.739><c> yourself.</c>

00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:01.500
And<00:37:58.500><c> I'll</c><00:37:58.719><c> tell</c><00:37:58.880><c> you</c><00:37:58.980><c> what</c><00:37:59.139><c> are</c><00:37:59.280><c> the</c><00:37:59.500><c> characteristics</c><00:38:00.059><c> in</c><00:38:00.280><c> the</c><00:38:00.460><c> men</c>

00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:04.760
whom<00:38:02.400><c> you</c><00:38:02.559><c> will</c><00:38:02.800><c> appoint</c><00:38:03.260><c> as</c><00:38:03.880><c> judges.</c>

00:38:06.980 --> 00:38:07.159
Okay?

00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:09.780
You<00:38:07.960><c> know</c><00:38:08.039><c> what</c><00:38:08.139><c> the</c><00:38:08.340><c> two</c><00:38:08.519><c> characteristics</c><00:38:08.940><c> were?</c>

00:38:11.860 --> 00:38:13.760
I<00:38:12.260><c> love</c><00:38:12.659><c> Jethro.</c>

00:38:14.300 --> 00:38:17.099
There<00:38:14.699><c> are</c><00:38:14.940><c> some</c><00:38:15.159><c> people</c><00:38:15.699><c> with</c><00:38:16.079><c> whom</c><00:38:16.199><c> you</c><00:38:16.340><c> come</c><00:38:16.519><c> into</c><00:38:16.780><c> collision</c>

00:38:17.099 --> 00:38:18.960
in<00:38:17.300><c> the</c><00:38:17.420><c> word</c><00:38:17.559><c> of</c><00:38:17.780><c> God</c><00:38:17.940><c> and</c><00:38:18.059><c> you</c><00:38:18.239><c> fall</c><00:38:18.420><c> in</c><00:38:18.579><c> love</c><00:38:18.699><c> with</c><00:38:18.840><c> them.</c>

00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:20.199
I<00:38:19.300><c> just</c><00:38:19.519><c> love</c><00:38:19.679><c> Jethro.</c>

00:38:20.199 --> 00:38:22.340
I<00:38:20.260><c> think</c><00:38:20.719><c> he's</c><00:38:20.920><c> a</c><00:38:21.139><c> smashing</c><00:38:21.400><c> guy.</c>

00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:25.659
And<00:38:22.760><c> he</c><00:38:23.380><c> had</c><00:38:23.619><c> a</c><00:38:23.820><c> godly</c><00:38:24.039><c> head</c><00:38:24.260><c> too.</c>

00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:30.519
First<00:38:26.639><c> thing</c><00:38:27.260><c> the</c><00:38:27.699><c> judges</c><00:38:27.900><c> must</c><00:38:28.179><c> do</c><00:38:28.699><c> is</c><00:38:29.199><c> fear</c><00:38:29.539><c> God.</c>

00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:32.960
Now<00:38:31.059><c> that's</c><00:38:31.300><c> the</c><00:38:31.440><c> overriding</c><00:38:31.880><c> principle.</c>

00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:35.860
Second<00:38:34.800><c> characteristic,</c>

00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:40.320
look<00:38:36.159><c> for</c><00:38:36.360><c> men</c><00:38:36.920><c> who</c><00:38:38.119><c> avoid</c><00:38:38.760><c> covetousness.</c>

00:38:41.260 --> 00:38:42.940

00:41:11.579 --> 00:41:16.659
God<00:41:11.840><c> always</c><00:41:12.320><c> gives</c><00:41:12.659><c> his</c><00:41:13.039><c> children</c><00:41:13.599><c> who</c><00:41:13.980><c> are</c><00:41:14.219><c> faithful</c><00:41:14.760><c> their</c><00:41:15.500><c> ambition.</c>

00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:19.480
And<00:41:17.300><c> he's</c><00:41:17.539><c> converted</c><00:41:17.860><c> the</c><00:41:18.079><c> king.</c>

00:41:19.579 --> 00:41:21.880
Cracked<00:41:19.780><c> it</c><00:41:20.320><c> at</c><00:41:20.920><c> the</c><00:41:21.039><c> end.</c>

00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:25.099
You<00:41:22.880><c> don't</c><00:41:23.119><c> need</c><00:41:23.340><c> to</c><00:41:23.599><c> tell</c><00:41:23.699><c> me</c><00:41:23.920><c> because</c><00:41:24.099><c> I'm</c><00:41:24.360><c> aware</c><00:41:24.619><c> of</c><00:41:24.739><c> it</c>

00:41:25.099 --> 00:41:28.340
that<00:41:25.320><c> there</c><00:41:25.500><c> was</c><00:41:25.679><c> a</c><00:41:25.920><c> regression</c><00:41:26.360><c> in</c><00:41:26.619><c> the</c><00:41:26.800><c> days</c><00:41:27.099><c> in</c><00:41:27.659><c> the</c><00:41:27.780><c> life</c>

00:41:28.340 --> 00:41:30.000
of<00:41:29.460><c> Ahab</c>

00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:33.340
and<00:41:30.380><c> after</c><00:41:31.079><c> his</c><00:41:31.880><c> so</c><00:41:32.219><c>-called</c><00:41:32.639><c> repentance</c>

00:41:33.340 --> 00:41:36.219

00:41:36.659 --> 00:41:39.900
But<00:41:36.800><c> this</c><00:41:36.900><c> is</c><00:41:37.099><c> the</c><00:41:37.260><c> thing.</c><00:41:38.199><c> Elijah</c><00:41:38.400><c> never</c><00:41:38.679><c> saw</c><00:41:38.860><c> it.</c>

00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:42.820
Elijah<00:41:40.699><c> never</c><00:41:41.019><c> saw</c><00:41:41.380><c> Ahab</c><00:41:41.699><c> again.</c>

00:41:43.380 --> 00:41:46.019
And<00:41:43.739><c> so</c><00:41:44.059><c> the</c><00:41:44.260><c> story</c><00:41:44.539><c> is</c><00:41:44.860><c> closed</c>

00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:50.139

00:41:51.900 --> 00:41:56.300
That's<00:41:52.619><c> the</c><00:41:52.739><c> grace</c><00:41:53.119><c> of</c><00:41:54.139><c> our</c><00:41:54.340><c> Father,</c><00:41:54.900><c> brethren</c><00:41:55.099><c> and</c><00:41:55.300><c> sisters.</c>

00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:08.599
We<00:42:03.440><c> go</c><00:42:03.699><c> to</c><00:42:05.480><c> the</c><00:42:06.119><c> second</c><00:42:06.340><c> book</c><00:42:06.519><c> of</c><00:42:06.659><c> Kings,</c><00:42:06.940><c> chapter</c><00:42:07.079><c> one.</c>

00:42:10.500 --> 00:42:13.920
Moab<00:42:10.719><c> rebelled</c><00:42:11.079><c> against</c><00:42:11.380><c> Israel</c><00:42:11.719><c> after</c><00:42:11.980><c> the</c><00:42:12.079><c> death</c><00:42:12.300><c> of</c><00:42:12.500><c> Ahab.</c>

00:42:14.219 --> 00:42:17.940
Ahaziah<00:42:14.659><c> his</c><00:42:14.920><c> son</c><00:42:15.820><c> fell</c><00:42:17.179><c> down</c><00:42:17.420><c> through</c><00:42:17.619><c> a</c><00:42:17.739><c> lattice</c>

00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:22.880
Now<00:42:20.599><c> you</c><00:42:20.679><c> know</c><00:42:20.860><c> the</c><00:42:21.039><c> story,</c><00:42:21.300><c> you</c><00:42:21.380><c> don't</c><00:42:21.579><c> need</c><00:42:21.760><c> me</c><00:42:21.960><c> to</c><00:42:22.119><c> use</c><00:42:22.260><c> valuable</c><00:42:22.619><c> time</c>

00:42:24.980 --> 00:42:29.219
Let's<00:42:25.400><c> ask</c><00:42:25.579><c> this</c><00:42:25.800><c> question</c><00:42:26.159><c> this</c><00:42:26.360><c> time,</c><00:42:26.500><c> not</c><00:42:26.860><c> has</c><00:42:27.360><c> it</c><00:42:27.559><c> happened</c><00:42:27.820><c> before</c>

Ahaziah,<00:42:40.039><c> you</c><00:42:40.300><c> see,</c><00:42:41.139><c> falls</c><00:42:41.440><c> out</c><00:42:41.780><c> and</c><00:42:42.420><c> he's</c><00:42:42.699><c> paralysed</c>

00:42:43.380 --> 00:42:46.840

00:43:04.300 --> 00:43:07.199
Now<00:43:04.519><c> where's</c><00:43:05.639><c> another</c><00:43:05.820><c> Bible</c><00:43:06.119><c> story</c><00:43:06.440><c> like</c><00:43:06.699><c> that?</c>

00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:39.679
Jesus<00:43:37.699><c> says,</c><00:43:38.159><c> so</c><00:43:38.340><c> that</c><00:43:38.440><c> you</c><00:43:38.559><c> know</c><00:43:38.699><c> that</c><00:43:38.820><c> I</c><00:43:38.920><c> have</c><00:43:39.019><c> the</c><00:43:39.099><c> power</c><00:43:39.340><c> of</c><00:43:39.559><c> God,</c>

Well,<00:48:31.519><c> we're</c><00:48:31.659><c> not</c><00:48:31.860><c> told,</c><00:48:33.139><c> but</c><00:48:33.260><c> I'll</c><00:48:33.420><c> tell</c><00:48:33.500><c> you</c><00:48:33.619><c> what.</c>

00:48:34.539 --> 00:48:38.380
Some<00:48:34.699><c> years</c><00:48:34.980><c> later,</c><00:48:36.280><c> Joram</c><00:48:36.400><c> receives</c><00:48:36.820><c> a</c><00:48:37.000><c> letter</c><00:48:37.179><c> from</c><00:48:37.420><c> Elijah,</c>

00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:42.099
well<00:48:39.760><c> documented</c><00:48:40.300><c> for</c><00:48:40.539><c> us</c><00:48:40.659><c> in</c><00:48:40.760><c> the</c><00:48:40.820><c> book</c><00:48:40.940><c> of</c><00:48:41.119><c> Chronicles.</c>

00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:45.039
So<00:48:42.380><c> Elijah,</c><00:48:43.219><c> it</c><00:48:43.219><c> seems</c><00:48:43.559><c> to</c><00:48:43.880><c> me,</c><00:48:44.320><c> brethren</c><00:48:44.440><c> and</c><00:48:44.699><c> sisters,</c>

00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:48.000
was<00:48:45.659><c> taken</c><00:48:46.039><c> away</c><00:48:46.480><c> to</c><00:48:46.739><c> a</c><00:48:46.920><c> remote</c><00:48:47.219><c> part</c><00:48:47.500><c> of</c><00:48:47.679><c> the</c><00:48:47.800><c> land</c>

00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:50.559
from<00:48:48.440><c> where</c><00:48:48.679><c> he</c><00:48:48.880><c> could</c><00:48:49.059><c> look</c><00:48:49.400><c> at</c><00:48:49.679><c> what</c><00:48:49.900><c> was</c><00:48:50.079><c> happening.</c>

00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:55.300
And<00:48:51.159><c> when</c><00:48:51.300><c> he</c><00:48:51.500><c> saw</c><00:48:51.659><c> Joram,</c><00:48:52.559><c> who</c><00:48:52.840><c> followed</c><00:48:53.340><c> Jehoshaphat,</c>

00:48:56.679 --> 00:48:58.380
he<00:48:57.199><c> wrote</c><00:48:57.719><c> to</c><00:48:57.880><c> him</c><00:48:58.019><c> and</c><00:48:58.159><c> said,</c>

00:48:58.380 --> 00:49:01.280
you'd<00:48:58.940><c> better</c><00:48:58.940><c> do</c><00:48:59.139><c> something</c><00:48:59.420><c> about</c><00:48:59.679><c> your</c><00:48:59.880><c> way</c><00:49:00.059><c> of</c><00:49:00.260><c> life.</c>

00:49:02.019 --> 00:49:06.239
That<00:49:02.079><c> was</c><00:49:02.260><c> some</c><00:49:02.500><c> years</c><00:49:02.800><c> after</c><00:49:03.539><c> Elijah</c><00:49:04.079><c> was</c><00:49:04.360><c> separated</c><00:49:04.900><c> from</c><00:49:05.219><c> Elisha.</c>

00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:11.619
So<00:49:07.320><c> it</c><00:49:07.420><c> seems</c><00:49:07.739><c> that</c><00:49:08.800><c> he</c><00:49:09.519><c> wasn't</c><00:49:09.860><c> taken</c><00:49:10.440><c> away</c><00:49:10.659><c> to</c><00:49:10.820><c> heaven.</c>

00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:14.539
He's<00:49:12.500><c> not</c><00:49:12.739><c> suspended</c><00:49:13.280><c> in</c><00:49:13.579><c> mortality.</c>

00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:16.420
But<00:49:14.840><c> he</c><00:49:14.900><c> was</c><00:49:15.099><c> removed</c><00:49:15.440><c> to</c><00:49:15.659><c> some,</c><00:49:15.780><c> it</c><00:49:15.880><c> seems</c><00:49:16.099><c> to</c><00:49:16.280><c> me,</c>

00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:20.300
he<00:49:16.480><c> was</c><00:49:16.659><c> removed</c><00:49:16.900><c> to</c><00:49:17.139><c> somewhere</c><00:49:17.380><c> where</c><00:49:18.619><c> he</c><00:49:18.780><c> could</c><00:49:18.960><c> watch</c><00:49:19.219><c> events.</c>

00:49:20.699 --> 00:49:25.199
And<00:49:21.219><c> then</c><00:49:22.199><c> Elisha</c><00:49:23.599><c> is</c><00:49:23.940><c> left</c><00:49:24.179><c> alone</c>

00:49:25.619 --> 00:49:31.980
to<00:49:26.139><c> spend</c><00:49:26.380><c> the</c><00:49:26.519><c> next</c><00:49:26.920><c> 40</c><00:49:27.260><c> years</c><00:49:28.659><c> ministering</c><00:49:30.219><c> to</c><00:49:30.559><c> God's</c><00:49:30.860><c> people.</c>

00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:33.460
Amen.
