00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.519
Now<00:05:48.160><c> what</c><00:05:48.500><c> can</c><00:05:48.879><c> you</c><00:05:49.019><c> do</c><00:05:49.240><c> about</c><00:05:49.480><c> that?</c>

Well<00:05:52.019><c> I</c><00:05:52.060><c> believe</c><00:05:52.319><c> that</c><00:05:52.480><c> he</c><00:05:52.560><c> would</c><00:05:52.699><c> have</c><00:05:52.839><c> looked</c><00:05:53.000><c> very</c><00:05:53.459><c> closely</c>

00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.439
the<00:06:12.339><c> problem</c><00:06:12.480><c> with</c><00:06:12.600><c> that</c><00:06:12.800><c> is</c><00:06:13.060><c> of</c><00:06:13.060><c> course</c><00:06:13.300><c> is</c><00:06:13.459><c> that</c><00:06:13.540><c> we</c><00:06:13.600><c> go</c><00:06:13.819><c> straight</c><00:06:14.160><c> into</c>

00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:15.819
Ahab's<00:06:14.920><c> coffers</c><00:06:15.279><c> and</c><00:06:15.540><c> you'd</c>

00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.000
You<00:06:19.079><c> could</c><00:06:19.620><c> mount</c><00:06:19.939><c> a</c><00:06:20.240><c> campaign,</c><00:06:20.759><c> I</c><00:06:20.879><c> mean</c><00:06:20.939><c> you</c><00:06:21.040><c> had</c><00:06:21.259><c> one</c><00:06:21.439><c> point</c>

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.899
you<00:06:25.399><c> could</c><00:06:25.579><c> mount</c><00:06:25.800><c> a</c><00:06:26.000><c> campaign</c><00:06:26.259><c> and</c><00:06:26.439><c> go</c><00:06:26.620><c> north</c><00:06:27.060><c> and</c><00:06:27.620><c> conquer</c>

the<00:06:28.139><c> place</c><00:06:28.399><c> but</c><00:06:28.879><c> that</c><00:06:29.060><c> would</c><00:06:29.199><c> be</c><00:06:29.399><c> costly</c>

00:06:29.860 --> 00:06:32.959
and<00:06:30.139><c> destructive</c><00:06:30.779><c> and</c><00:06:31.339><c> in</c><00:06:31.500><c> fact</c><00:06:31.600><c> the</c><00:06:31.800><c> last</c><00:06:32.120><c> time</c><00:06:32.480><c> a</c><00:06:32.620><c> king</c><00:06:32.720><c> of</c>

God<00:06:35.699><c> said</c><00:06:35.920><c> don't.</c>

00:06:38.430 --> 00:06:41.199
So<00:06:38.740><c> your</c><00:06:38.920><c> third</c><00:06:39.100><c> option</c><00:06:39.420><c> is</c><00:06:39.620><c> to</c><00:06:39.819><c> try</c><00:06:39.959><c> and</c><00:06:40.199><c> somehow</c><00:06:40.600><c> influence</c>

00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.579

the<00:06:43.959><c> policies</c><00:06:44.579><c> of</c><00:06:45.180><c> Ahab's</c><00:06:45.800><c> palace.</c>

00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:47.720
Now<00:06:46.560><c> how</c><00:06:46.620><c> are</c><00:06:46.759><c> you</c><00:06:46.779><c> going</c><00:06:46.860><c> to</c><00:06:46.959><c> do</c><00:06:47.139><c> that?</c>

00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.139
How<00:06:48.279><c> are</c><00:06:48.399><c> you</c><00:06:48.480><c> going</c><00:06:48.579><c> to</c><00:06:48.779><c> introduce</c><00:06:49.220><c> some</c><00:06:49.620><c> conscience,</c><00:06:50.860><c> some</c>

00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.819
And<00:06:53.839><c> I</c><00:06:54.019><c> think</c><00:06:54.160><c> the</c><00:06:54.379><c> answer</c><00:06:54.680><c> that</c><00:06:54.920><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:06:55.480><c> came</c><00:06:55.720><c> up</c><00:06:55.980><c> with</c>

00:06:56.819 --> 00:07:07.579
was<00:06:57.720><c> to</c><00:06:58.060><c> introduce</c><00:06:58.519><c> his</c><00:06:59.000><c> son</c><00:06:59.720><c> into</c><00:07:00.720><c> the</c>

00:07:07.579 --> 00:07:10.879
love<00:07:08.519><c> of</c><00:07:08.939><c> the</c><00:07:09.040><c> brethren</c><00:07:09.240><c> and</c><00:07:09.279><c> sisters</c><00:07:09.439><c> up</c><00:07:09.620><c> there</c><00:07:09.800><c> in</c><00:07:09.800><c> the</c><00:07:09.899><c> north.</c>

00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:18.379
Now<00:07:11.560><c> I</c><00:07:11.620><c> don't</c><00:07:11.860><c> think</c><00:07:12.040><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:07:12.579><c> would</c><00:07:12.740><c> have</c><00:07:12.899><c> found</c><00:07:13.100><c> that</c><00:07:13.660><c> an</c><00:07:14.000><c> easy</c><00:07:14.540><c> choice</c><00:07:14.939><c> to</c><00:07:15.240><c> make</c><00:07:15.620><c> at</c><00:07:15.920><c> all</c><00:07:16.500><c> but</c><00:07:18.180><c> I</c><00:07:18.319><c> think</c>

00:07:18.379 --> 00:07:23.600
that<00:07:18.540><c> was</c><00:07:18.680><c> his</c><00:07:18.860><c> motive,</c><00:07:20.600><c> to</c><00:07:20.800><c> introduce</c><00:07:21.279><c> some</c><00:07:21.560><c> influence</c><00:07:21.899><c> in</c><00:07:22.079><c> the</c><00:07:22.379><c> court</c><00:07:22.740><c> and</c><00:07:23.060><c> this</c><00:07:23.220><c> comes</c><00:07:23.399><c> out</c><00:07:23.519><c> a</c>

00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:23.879
little<00:07:23.699><c> bit</c>

00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.019
more<00:07:24.199><c> as</c><00:07:24.420><c> we</c><00:07:24.540><c> read</c><00:07:24.660><c> the</c><00:07:24.779><c> record</c><00:07:25.079><c> later</c><00:07:25.399><c> on,</c><00:07:26.040><c> to</c><00:07:26.220><c> try</c><00:07:26.339><c> and</c><00:07:26.560><c> influence</c><00:07:26.759><c> the</c>

policies<00:07:27.439><c> of</c><00:07:27.699><c> Ahab.</c>

00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.019
Now<00:07:30.279><c> the</c><00:07:30.360><c> problem</c><00:07:30.600><c> of</c><00:07:30.720><c> course</c><00:07:31.019><c> is,</c><00:07:31.620><c> is</c><00:07:31.899><c> that</c><00:07:32.100><c> this</c><00:07:32.560><c> eventually</c>

00:07:33.019 --> 00:07:35.480
resulted<00:07:33.540><c> in</c><00:07:33.879><c> the</c><00:07:34.259><c> absolute</c><00:07:34.699><c> decimation</c>

00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.540
of<00:07:35.620><c> the</c><00:07:35.740><c> royal</c><00:07:36.120><c> seed</c><00:07:36.420><c> in</c><00:07:36.699><c> Judah</c><00:07:36.920><c> after</c><00:07:37.339><c> his</c><00:07:37.600><c> death.</c>

00:07:38.620 --> 00:07:41.000
In<00:07:38.720><c> fact</c><00:07:38.860><c> if</c><00:07:39.000><c> God</c><00:07:39.240><c> hadn't</c><00:07:39.480><c> have</c><00:07:39.639><c> stepped</c><00:07:39.819><c> in</c><00:07:40.160><c> and</c><00:07:40.459><c> saved</c><00:07:40.680><c> young</c>

00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:42.879
Joash<00:07:41.560><c> the</c><00:07:42.180><c> seed</c><00:07:42.339><c> of</c><00:07:42.560><c> David</c><00:07:42.720><c> would</c>

00:07:46.220 --> 00:07:49.319
So<00:07:46.439><c> we</c><00:07:46.680><c> need</c><00:07:46.860><c> to</c><00:07:47.060><c> understand</c><00:07:47.500><c> brethren</c><00:07:47.819><c> and</c><00:07:47.959><c> sisters</c><00:07:48.120><c> that</c><00:07:48.899><c> we</c>

00:08:57.139 --> 00:09:00.960

00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:13.820
I<00:09:10.700><c> think</c><00:09:10.960><c> most</c><00:09:11.480><c> of</c><00:09:11.600><c> us</c><00:09:11.700><c> have</c><00:09:11.919><c> seen</c><00:09:12.100><c> that</c><00:09:12.279><c> by</c><00:09:12.519><c> experience.</c>

00:09:13.980 --> 00:09:17.740
Jehoshaphat<00:09:14.659><c> failed</c><00:09:15.200><c> to</c><00:09:15.559><c> really</c><00:09:15.860><c> appreciate</c><00:09:16.539><c> the</c><00:09:17.120><c> enormous</c>

00:09:17.740 --> 00:09:21.320
power<00:09:18.399><c> of</c><00:09:18.899><c> evil</c><00:09:19.379><c> when</c><00:09:20.480><c> you</c><00:09:20.659><c> unleash</c><00:09:20.980><c> that</c>

00:09:25.740 --> 00:09:27.679
So<00:09:26.039><c> he</c><00:09:26.259><c> joined</c><00:09:26.620><c> affinity.</c>

00:09:29.299 --> 00:09:34.860
It's<00:09:29.639><c> interesting</c><00:09:30.059><c> that</c><00:09:30.259><c> he</c><00:09:30.580><c> wasn't</c><00:09:30.940><c> condemned</c><00:09:32.080><c> for</c><00:09:33.179><c> organising</c><00:09:33.659><c> the</c><00:09:33.899><c> marriage.</c>

00:09:35.179 --> 00:09:40.179
He<00:09:35.299><c> was</c><00:09:35.500><c> condemned</c><00:09:35.980><c> for</c><00:09:36.320><c> helping</c><00:09:36.620><c> the</c><00:09:36.899><c> ungodly</c><00:09:37.519><c> in</c><00:09:37.799><c> this</c><00:09:38.080><c> campaign,</c><00:09:38.860><c> which</c><00:09:39.019><c> is</c><00:09:39.240><c> interesting.</c>

00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:41.799
One<00:09:40.500><c> would</c><00:09:40.620><c> have</c><00:09:40.759><c> thought</c><00:09:40.860><c> that</c><00:09:41.059><c> God</c><00:09:41.139><c> would</c><00:09:41.379><c> have</c><00:09:41.440><c> stepped</c><00:09:41.600><c> in</c>

00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:43.340
before<00:09:42.159><c> this</c><00:09:42.399><c> happened.</c>

00:09:43.379 --> 00:09:46.799
And<00:09:43.539><c> that's</c><00:09:43.659><c> why</c><00:09:43.879><c> I</c><00:09:44.000><c> believe,</c><00:09:44.360><c> better</c><00:09:44.460><c> sisters,</c><00:09:44.860><c> that</c><00:09:45.039><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:09:45.419><c> did</c><00:09:45.700><c> have</c><00:09:45.919><c> the</c><00:09:46.279><c> greatest</c><00:09:46.539><c> of</c>

00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:46.980
motives.

00:09:46.980 --> 00:09:53.299
He<00:09:47.139><c> was</c><00:09:47.340><c> a</c><00:09:47.460><c> highly</c><00:09:48.200><c> spiritual</c><00:09:48.960><c> man</c><00:09:49.559><c> and</c><00:09:50.080><c> he</c><00:09:50.340><c> viewed</c><00:09:50.480><c> the</c><00:09:50.740><c> options</c><00:09:51.500><c> because</c><00:09:53.080><c> his</c>

00:09:53.299 --> 00:09:54.159
conscience<00:09:53.639><c> was</c><00:09:53.980><c> pricked</c>

00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.220
when<00:09:54.279><c> he</c><00:09:54.480><c> saw</c><00:09:54.919><c> the</c><00:09:55.460><c> remnant</c><00:09:55.700><c> of</c><00:09:55.879><c> God</c><00:09:56.059><c> being</c><00:09:56.379><c> persecuted</c><00:09:56.899><c> by</c>

00:09:57.220 --> 00:09:58.539
that<00:09:57.500><c> dynasty.</c>

00:09:59.899 --> 00:10:05.220
Well<00:09:59.960><c> in</c><00:10:00.100><c> verse</c><00:10:00.299><c> 2,</c><00:10:00.820><c> after</c><00:10:01.039><c> certain</c><00:10:01.539><c> years,</c><00:10:02.779><c> so</c><00:10:03.039><c> some</c><00:10:03.419><c> time</c><00:10:03.659><c> had</c><00:10:04.039><c> passed,</c><00:10:04.919><c> he</c>

00:10:05.220 --> 00:10:08.740
went<00:10:05.600><c> down</c><00:10:06.320><c> to</c><00:10:06.639><c> Ahab</c><00:10:07.200><c> to</c><00:10:07.559><c> Samaria.</c>

00:10:10.139 --> 00:10:16.700
So<00:10:10.799><c> you</c><00:10:11.159><c> see,</c><00:10:12.759><c> he's</c><00:10:13.240><c> using</c><00:10:13.960><c> the</c><00:10:14.600><c> marriage</c><00:10:15.220><c> alliance</c><00:10:16.000><c> as</c><00:10:16.419><c> an</c>

opportunity<00:10:17.620><c> for</c><00:10:18.379><c> making</c><00:10:18.919><c> periodic</c><00:10:19.539><c> visits</c>

to<00:10:20.179><c> the</c><00:10:20.320><c> north.</c>

00:10:22.419 --> 00:10:25.360
I<00:10:22.659><c> think</c><00:10:22.779><c> that</c><00:10:23.259><c> strengthens</c><00:10:23.860><c> the</c><00:10:24.059><c> point</c><00:10:24.220><c> we're</c><00:10:24.440><c> making</c><00:10:24.799><c> that</c>

00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.120
he<00:10:25.820><c> wants</c><00:10:26.059><c> a</c><00:10:26.440><c> toehold</c><00:10:27.120><c> in</c><00:10:27.440><c> that</c><00:10:27.779><c> kingdom.</c>

00:10:28.500 --> 00:10:30.840
He<00:10:28.659><c> wants</c><00:10:28.960><c> some</c><00:10:29.360><c> way</c><00:10:29.460><c> to</c><00:10:29.620><c> be</c><00:10:29.679><c> able</c><00:10:29.820><c> to</c><00:10:30.059><c> influence</c><00:10:30.379><c> the</c><00:10:30.600><c> palace</c>

00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:31.399
of<00:10:31.059><c> Ahab.</c>

00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:33.940
So<00:10:31.840><c> he</c><00:10:32.059><c> arranges,</c><00:10:32.559><c> of</c><00:10:32.799><c> course,</c><00:10:33.379><c> these</c><00:10:33.620><c> visits.</c>

00:10:33.940 --> 00:10:36.620
And<00:10:34.299><c> really,</c><00:10:35.100><c> the</c><00:10:35.139><c> problem</c><00:10:35.340><c> with</c><00:10:35.500><c> this</c><00:10:35.720><c> visit</c><00:10:35.879><c> is,</c><00:10:36.200><c> is</c><00:10:36.299><c> not</c><00:10:36.480><c> so</c>

00:10:36.620 --> 00:10:39.460
much<00:10:36.720><c> the</c><00:10:36.960><c> visit,</c><00:10:37.620><c> but</c><00:10:37.779><c> it</c><00:10:37.919><c> was</c><00:10:38.100><c> the</c><00:10:38.820><c> question</c>

00:10:39.460 --> 00:10:44.100
that<00:10:39.840><c> Ahab</c><00:10:40.200><c> slipped</c><00:10:40.919><c> to</c><00:10:42.159><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:10:42.700><c> while</c><00:10:42.899><c> he</c><00:10:42.940><c> was</c><00:10:43.200><c> there.</c>

00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:49.200
The<00:10:45.120><c> record</c><00:10:45.279><c> is</c><00:10:45.500><c> not</c><00:10:45.759><c> saying</c><00:10:46.299><c> that</c><00:10:46.860><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:10:47.460><c> went</c><00:10:47.899><c> to</c><00:10:48.480><c> Samaria</c><00:10:48.960><c> for</c>

00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.019
the<00:10:49.460><c> purpose</c><00:10:50.039><c> of</c><00:10:50.639><c> organising</c>

00:10:51.019 --> 00:10:52.000

00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:23.480

00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:23.919

Ahab<00:14:26.399><c> was</c><00:14:26.639><c> worried</c><00:14:26.799><c> about.</c>

00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:34.000
Now,<00:14:29.620><c> we</c><00:14:29.899><c> know</c><00:14:30.120><c> from</c><00:14:30.320><c> the</c><00:14:30.580><c> other</c><00:14:30.740><c> records,</c><00:14:32.379><c> 1</c><00:14:32.559><c> Kings</c><00:14:33.000><c> 22</c><00:14:33.639><c> verse</c>

So<00:14:39.580><c> Ahab</c><00:14:39.759><c> was</c><00:14:40.019><c> worried.</c>

00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:45.559
This<00:14:40.700><c> is</c><00:14:41.039><c> now</c><00:14:41.340><c> a</c><00:14:41.879><c> threat</c><00:14:42.220><c> to</c><00:14:43.320><c> the</c><00:14:43.519><c> dynasty</c><00:14:44.120><c> in</c><00:14:44.539><c> Samaria.</c>

00:14:46.539 --> 00:14:50.460
Now,<00:14:48.059><c> what</c><00:14:48.340><c> else</c><00:14:48.779><c> about</c><00:14:49.200><c> Ramoth</c><00:14:49.600><c> Gilead?</c>

00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:56.120
You'll<00:14:51.519><c> notice</c><00:14:51.759><c> that</c><00:14:52.039><c> Ramoth</c><00:14:52.379><c> Gilead,</c><00:14:53.559><c> being</c><00:14:53.840><c> in</c><00:14:54.320><c> Gilead,</c><00:14:55.799><c> is</c>

He's<00:15:00.960><c> Elijah</c><00:15:01.340><c> the</c><00:15:01.580><c> Tishbite.</c>

00:15:02.539 --> 00:15:07.940
So<00:15:02.700><c> this</c><00:15:02.879><c> whole</c><00:15:03.340><c> region</c><00:15:04.000><c> is</c><00:15:04.840><c> where</c><00:15:05.600><c> Elijah</c><00:15:06.860><c> came</c><00:15:07.600><c> from.</c>

00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:12.279
So<00:15:08.179><c> God</c><00:15:08.340><c> is</c><00:15:09.139><c> drawing</c><00:15:09.659><c> Ahab's</c><00:15:10.100><c> attention</c><00:15:10.620><c> to</c><00:15:11.200><c> Elijah</c><00:15:11.700><c> country,</c>

Elijah<00:15:12.700><c> territory.</c>

00:15:13.220 --> 00:15:18.220
Would<00:15:14.679><c> Ahab</c><00:15:15.240><c> remember</c><00:15:15.960><c> anything</c><00:15:16.480><c> that</c><00:15:16.720><c> Elijah</c><00:15:17.000><c> had</c><00:15:17.379><c> said?</c>

00:15:19.659 --> 00:15:25.139

00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:12.400

00:20:30.940 --> 00:20:32.799
Now<00:20:31.059><c> how</c><00:20:31.160><c> would</c><00:20:31.299><c> you</c><00:20:31.440><c> answer</c><00:20:31.660><c> that</c><00:20:31.839><c> question?</c>

00:20:34.380 --> 00:20:37.019
I<00:20:34.480><c> mean,</c><00:20:34.640><c> they</c><00:20:34.880><c> clearly</c><00:20:35.259><c> knew</c><00:20:35.640><c> what</c><00:20:35.839><c> was</c><00:20:36.099><c> going</c><00:20:36.259><c> on</c><00:20:36.359><c> at</c><00:20:36.480><c> Ramoth</c><00:20:36.740><c>-Gilead.</c>

00:20:37.140 --> 00:20:39.579
Jehoshaphat<00:20:37.539><c> knew</c><00:20:37.779><c> the</c><00:20:38.059><c> circumstances.</c><00:20:38.660><c> He</c><00:20:38.799><c> knew</c><00:20:38.980><c> the</c><00:20:39.160><c> politics.</c>

00:21:03.980 --> 00:21:07.440
So<00:21:04.119><c> you</c><00:21:04.119><c> see,</c><00:21:04.380><c> really,</c><00:21:05.019><c> he's</c><00:21:05.579><c> stuck.</c><00:21:06.579><c> He's</c><00:21:06.980><c> trapped.</c>

00:21:07.900 --> 00:21:10.599
He's<00:21:08.099><c> in</c><00:21:08.220><c> a</c><00:21:08.279><c> position</c><00:21:08.599><c> where</c><00:21:08.819><c> he</c><00:21:09.000><c> can't</c><00:21:09.319><c> really</c><00:21:09.559><c> maneuver.</c>

00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:14.240
But<00:21:12.039><c> you</c><00:21:12.099><c> see,</c><00:21:12.180><c> he</c><00:21:12.420><c> says</c><00:21:12.700><c> these</c><00:21:12.960><c> words</c><00:21:13.240><c> in</c><00:21:13.440><c> verse</c><00:21:13.680><c> 3,</c>

00:21:20.940 --> 00:21:23.700
Now<00:21:21.319><c> that</c><00:21:21.740><c> wasn't</c><00:21:22.220><c> the</c><00:21:22.519><c> case.</c>

00:21:24.019 --> 00:21:26.920
Yes,<00:21:24.339><c> certainly</c><00:21:24.700><c> by</c><00:21:24.980><c> marriage</c><00:21:25.319><c> alliance</c><00:21:25.700><c> they</c><00:21:25.960><c> were.</c>

00:21:27.819 --> 00:21:33.519
But<00:21:27.960><c> when</c><00:21:28.119><c> he</c><00:21:28.359><c> said,</c><00:21:29.200><c> I</c><00:21:29.200><c> am</c><00:21:30.240><c> just</c><00:21:30.759><c> like</c><00:21:31.119><c> you,</c><00:21:32.440><c> that's</c><00:21:32.720><c> not</c><00:21:32.920><c> the</c><00:21:33.119><c> case.</c>

00:21:34.019 --> 00:21:37.089
The<00:21:34.180><c> two</c><00:21:34.519><c> kings</c><00:21:34.980><c> were</c><00:21:35.500><c> poles</c><00:21:36.200><c> apart.</c>

00:21:37.220 --> 00:21:40.660
But<00:21:37.420><c> the</c><00:21:37.599><c> record</c><00:21:37.839><c> is</c><00:21:38.079><c> going</c><00:21:38.200><c> to</c><00:21:38.519><c> present</c><00:21:38.859><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:21:39.720><c> in</c><00:21:40.359><c> an</c>

unflattering<00:21:41.400><c> light.</c>

00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:47.099
And<00:21:42.500><c> spiritually</c><00:21:43.480><c> he</c><00:21:43.799><c> is</c><00:21:44.119><c> moving</c><00:21:44.759><c> towards</c><00:21:45.720><c> Ahab</c><00:21:46.519><c> until</c><00:21:46.980><c> the</c>

00:21:49.140 --> 00:21:52.960

But<00:21:56.119><c> he's</c><00:21:56.559><c> trapped</c><00:21:57.000><c> by</c><00:21:57.319><c> his</c><00:21:57.660><c> marriage</c><00:21:58.119><c> alliance.</c>

00:22:00.539 --> 00:22:02.759
We<00:22:00.819><c> will</c><00:22:00.980><c> be</c><00:22:01.200><c> with</c><00:22:01.460><c> thee</c><00:22:01.579><c> with</c><00:22:01.779><c> the</c><00:22:01.980><c> war.</c>

00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:04.240
Now<00:22:02.920><c> where</c><00:22:02.980><c> have</c><00:22:03.079><c> you</c><00:22:03.119><c> heard</c><00:22:03.220><c> those</c><00:22:03.460><c> words</c><00:22:03.660><c> before?</c>

00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.619
Here<00:22:11.660><c> was</c><00:22:11.880><c> a</c><00:22:12.140><c> Gentile</c><00:22:13.619><c> coming</c><00:22:14.079><c> into</c><00:22:14.599><c> Judah,</c>

00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:34.579
So,<00:22:33.099><c> what</c><00:22:33.240><c> are</c><00:22:33.299><c> you</c><00:22:33.359><c> going</c><00:22:33.440><c> to</c><00:22:33.579><c> do?</c>

to<00:22:46.579><c> ask</c><00:22:47.180><c> for</c><00:22:47.460><c> the</c><00:22:47.599><c> word</c><00:22:47.779><c> of</c><00:22:47.880><c> God</c><00:22:48.240><c> first,</c>

00:22:49.339 --> 00:22:52.299
and<00:22:49.539><c> then</c><00:22:50.039><c> commit</c><00:22:50.299><c> himself</c><00:22:50.819><c> to</c><00:22:51.019><c> the</c><00:22:51.180><c> campaign,</c><00:22:51.599><c> but</c><00:22:51.759><c> he</c><00:22:51.839><c> didn't.</c>

00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:54.019
He<00:22:52.799><c> committed</c><00:22:52.960><c> himself</c><00:22:53.440><c> first,</c>

00:22:54.460 --> 00:22:58.019
and<00:22:54.859><c> then</c><00:22:54.980><c> he</c><00:22:55.220><c> sought</c><00:22:55.420><c> God</c><00:22:55.759><c> to</c><00:22:56.039><c> actually</c><00:22:56.279><c> confirm</c><00:22:56.839><c> or</c><00:22:57.140><c> to</c><00:22:57.380><c> deny</c><00:22:57.619><c> that.</c>

00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:01.400
So<00:22:58.579><c> he</c><00:22:58.619><c> wanted</c><00:22:58.759><c> to</c><00:22:58.960><c> inquire</c><00:23:00.180><c> today.</c>

00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:02.640
Enquire.

00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:06.400
That's<00:23:03.380><c> the</c><00:23:03.500><c> same</c><00:23:03.759><c> word</c><00:23:04.720><c> translated</c><00:23:05.539><c> seek.</c>

00:23:06.660 --> 00:23:09.039

00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:11.119

00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:13.200
It<00:23:11.279><c> was</c><00:23:11.559><c> a</c><00:23:11.759><c> reaction</c><00:23:12.099><c> to</c><00:23:12.400><c> him.</c>

00:23:13.299 --> 00:23:15.559
He<00:23:13.319><c> did</c><00:23:13.539><c> nothing</c><00:23:13.880><c> unless</c><00:23:14.160><c> he</c><00:23:14.440><c> sought</c><00:23:14.619><c> the</c><00:23:14.819><c> word</c><00:23:14.940><c> of</c><00:23:15.059><c> God</c><00:23:15.259><c> first,</c>

A<00:23:53.579><c> prophet</c><00:23:53.779><c> of</c><00:23:54.099><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:57.880
I<00:23:54.660><c> mean,</c><00:23:55.400><c> his</c><00:23:55.500><c> life</c><00:23:55.759><c> has</c><00:23:56.019><c> been</c><00:23:56.759><c> really</c><00:23:57.440><c> characterized</c>

00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:00.759
by<00:23:58.339><c> stamping</c><00:23:58.759><c> them</c><00:23:59.000><c> out.</c>

00:24:01.259 --> 00:24:02.160
So<00:24:01.259><c> verse</c><00:24:01.420><c> 5,</c>

00:24:17.700 --> 00:24:18.400
One<00:24:17.819><c> could</c><00:24:17.960><c> get</c><00:24:18.079><c> anybody.</c>

00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:24.160
That's<00:24:21.720><c> interesting.</c><00:24:22.519><c> Four</c><00:24:22.880><c> hundred.</c>

00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:27.299
That's<00:24:25.900><c> the</c><00:24:26.079><c> number</c><00:24:26.480><c> of</c><00:24:26.940><c> prophets</c>

who<00:24:27.680><c> ate</c><00:24:27.940><c> at</c><00:24:28.240><c> Jezebel's</c><00:24:28.859><c> table.</c>

00:24:29.819 --> 00:24:33.140
That<00:24:30.059><c> was</c><00:24:30.279><c> the</c><00:24:30.460><c> number</c><00:24:30.660><c> of</c><00:24:30.980><c> prophets</c><00:24:31.180><c> that</c><00:24:31.380><c> were</c><00:24:31.880><c> slain</c>

00:24:33.140 --> 00:24:36.559
as<00:24:33.539><c> a</c><00:24:33.640><c> result</c><00:24:33.880><c> of</c><00:24:34.099><c> Elijah's</c><00:24:34.700><c> victory</c><00:24:34.960><c> at</c><00:24:35.160><c> Mount</c><00:24:35.460><c> Carmel.</c>

00:24:36.619 --> 00:24:38.440
But<00:24:36.720><c> you</c><00:24:36.779><c> see,</c><00:24:36.960><c> they're</c><00:24:37.140><c> back</c><00:24:37.339><c> again.</c>

00:24:39.339 --> 00:24:41.819

but<00:24:44.779><c> it</c><00:24:44.880><c> doesn't</c><00:24:45.039><c> take</c><00:24:45.299><c> long</c><00:24:45.480><c> for</c><00:24:45.640><c> Jezebel</c><00:24:46.079><c> to</c><00:24:46.259><c> replace</c><00:24:46.619><c> them.</c>

00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:50.299
So<00:24:48.380><c> Jezebel</c><00:24:48.859><c> asked</c><00:24:49.299><c> to</c><00:24:49.480><c> hear</c><00:24:49.599><c> the</c><00:24:49.720><c> word</c><00:24:49.859><c> of</c><00:24:50.059><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:24:50.539 --> 00:24:52.420

00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:54.799
I<00:24:52.900><c> mean,</c><00:24:53.039><c> to</c><00:24:53.119><c> him</c><00:24:53.240><c> there</c><00:24:53.359><c> was</c><00:24:53.519><c> no</c><00:24:53.740><c> difference,</c><00:24:54.140><c> no</c><00:24:54.359><c> distinction.</c>

00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:38.259
into<00:25:36.740><c> the</c><00:25:37.119><c> mouths</c><00:25:37.500><c> of</c><00:25:37.759><c> the</c><00:25:37.940><c> prophets.</c>

00:25:38.619 --> 00:25:41.039
He<00:25:38.759><c> didn't</c><00:25:39.099><c> say,</c><00:25:39.539><c> look,</c><00:25:39.940><c> shall</c><00:25:40.099><c> I</c><00:25:40.220><c> go</c><00:25:40.339><c> by</c><00:25:40.460><c> myself,</c>

00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:43.599
or<00:25:41.660><c> shall</c><00:25:41.920><c> we</c><00:25:42.220><c> go,</c><00:25:42.740><c> or</c><00:25:42.880><c> shall</c><00:25:43.079><c> nobody</c><00:25:43.359><c> go?</c>

00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:45.160
I<00:25:43.680><c> mean,</c><00:25:43.819><c> that's</c><00:25:43.960><c> the</c><00:25:44.200><c> fair</c><00:25:44.339><c> way</c><00:25:44.519><c> to</c><00:25:44.640><c> answer</c><00:25:44.799><c> the</c><00:25:45.000><c> question.</c>

00:25:45.299 --> 00:25:46.619
He<00:25:45.299><c> didn't</c><00:25:45.420><c> say</c><00:25:45.579><c> it</c><00:25:45.700><c> at</c><00:25:45.839><c> all.</c>

00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:48.299
He<00:25:47.220><c> was</c><00:25:47.420><c> seeking</c><00:25:47.680><c> an</c><00:25:47.920><c> answer.</c>

00:25:48.700 --> 00:25:50.539
He<00:25:48.779><c> was</c><00:25:48.940><c> giving</c><00:25:49.140><c> the</c><00:25:49.460><c> prophets</c><00:25:49.660><c> the</c><00:25:50.079><c> clue</c>

00:25:50.539 --> 00:25:52.180
to<00:25:50.819><c> the</c><00:25:51.000><c> answer</c><00:25:51.259><c> he</c><00:25:51.400><c> wanted</c><00:25:51.559><c> to</c><00:25:51.859><c> receive.</c>

00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.940
So<00:25:52.519><c> he</c><00:25:52.660><c> says,</c><00:25:53.400><c> shall</c><00:25:53.539><c> we</c><00:25:54.140><c> go,</c><00:25:55.400><c> or</c><00:25:55.660><c> shall</c><00:25:55.900><c> I</c><00:25:56.420><c> forbear?</c>

00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:59.019
There's<00:25:57.460><c> the</c><00:25:57.619><c> option,</c><00:25:58.039><c> prophets,</c><00:25:58.440><c> work</c><00:25:58.579><c> it</c><00:25:58.779><c> out.</c>

00:25:59.500 --> 00:26:01.519
I<00:25:59.799><c> want</c><00:25:59.940><c> us</c><00:26:00.200><c> to</c><00:26:00.380><c> go</c><00:26:00.819><c> or</c><00:26:01.220><c> nothing.</c>

00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:02.960
Okay,<00:26:02.079><c> you</c><00:26:02.160><c> got</c><00:26:02.200><c> that?</c>

00:26:03.339 --> 00:26:04.180
Very<00:26:03.799><c> clever.</c>

00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:06.240
Now<00:26:04.579><c> look</c><00:26:04.720><c> at</c><00:26:04.819><c> the</c><00:26:05.000><c> answer,</c><00:26:05.400><c> verse</c><00:26:05.680><c> five.</c>

00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:09.039
They<00:26:06.839><c> said,</c><00:26:07.339><c> go</c><00:26:07.380><c> up</c><00:26:07.640><c> for</c><00:26:08.339><c> Elohim.</c>

00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:10.700
They<00:26:09.500><c> didn't</c><00:26:09.680><c> use</c><00:26:09.920><c> the</c><00:26:10.039><c> word</c><00:26:10.240><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:26:10.779 --> 00:26:12.119
They<00:26:10.900><c> didn't</c><00:26:11.059><c> use</c><00:26:11.279><c> the</c><00:26:11.359><c> word</c><00:26:11.680><c> Baal.</c>

00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:14.599
They<00:26:12.539><c> used</c><00:26:12.779><c> the</c><00:26:12.880><c> word</c><00:26:13.180><c> Elohim,</c><00:26:13.819><c> mighty</c><00:26:14.220><c> ones.</c>

00:26:14.700 --> 00:26:17.900
They<00:26:14.819><c> were</c><00:26:14.940><c> out</c><00:26:15.200><c> to</c><00:26:15.460><c> impress</c><00:26:15.940><c> Jehoshaphat.</c>

00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:21.279
Go<00:26:18.460><c> up,</c><00:26:18.819><c> for</c><00:26:18.920><c> God</c><00:26:19.240><c> will</c><00:26:19.500><c> deliver</c><00:26:19.779><c> it</c><00:26:19.940><c> into</c><00:26:20.119><c> the</c><00:26:20.400><c> king's</c><00:26:20.940><c> hand.</c>

00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:23.140
Now<00:26:21.539><c> isn't</c><00:26:21.759><c> that</c><00:26:22.180><c> cunning?</c>

00:26:25.019 --> 00:26:27.119
Which<00:26:25.579><c> king's</c><00:26:26.140><c> hand?</c>

00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:30.940
The<00:26:27.539><c> king</c><00:26:27.759><c> of</c><00:26:28.019><c> Samaria</c><00:26:28.720><c> or</c><00:26:29.420><c> the</c><00:26:29.559><c> king</c><00:26:29.759><c> of</c><00:26:30.119><c> Syria?</c>

00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:33.660
It's<00:26:31.779><c> an</c><00:26:32.019><c> open</c><00:26:32.599><c>-ended</c><00:26:33.259><c> answer.</c>

00:26:33.900 --> 00:26:36.480
Either<00:26:34.339><c> way,</c><00:26:34.640><c> they</c><00:26:34.799><c> could</c><00:26:35.059><c> never</c><00:26:35.339><c> be</c><00:26:35.700><c> proved</c><00:26:35.940><c> wrong.</c>

00:26:36.859 --> 00:26:37.920
See<00:26:37.019><c> how</c><00:26:37.220><c> clever</c><00:26:37.400><c> that</c><00:26:37.579><c> is?</c>

00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:42.099
Go<00:26:38.500><c> up,</c><00:26:40.019><c> for</c><00:26:40.099><c> God</c><00:26:40.299><c> will</c><00:26:40.480><c> deliver</c><00:26:40.640><c> you</c><00:26:40.740><c> into</c><00:26:40.880><c> the</c><00:26:41.099><c> king's</c><00:26:41.599><c> hand.</c>

00:26:42.539 --> 00:26:44.900
And<00:26:42.759><c> you</c><00:26:42.859><c> can</c><00:26:43.079><c> look</c><00:26:43.279><c> at</c><00:26:43.420><c> that</c><00:26:43.660><c> whichever</c><00:26:43.920><c> way</c><00:26:44.099><c> you</c><00:26:44.279><c> want</c><00:26:44.519><c> to.</c>

00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:47.200
If<00:26:45.220><c> you're</c><00:26:45.359><c> a</c><00:26:45.460><c> king</c><00:26:45.519><c> of</c><00:26:45.700><c> Samaria,</c><00:26:46.259><c> ah,</c><00:26:46.420><c> that</c><00:26:46.480><c> must</c><00:26:46.619><c> be</c><00:26:46.799><c> me.</c>

If<00:26:47.500><c> you're</c><00:26:47.619><c> a</c><00:26:47.700><c> king</c><00:26:47.759><c> of</c><00:26:48.000><c> Syria,</c><00:26:48.299><c> that</c><00:26:48.519><c> must</c><00:26:48.700><c> be</c><00:26:48.880><c> me.</c>

Either<00:26:49.660><c> way,</c><00:26:49.839><c> you</c><00:26:50.039><c> can't</c><00:26:50.440><c> lose</c><00:26:50.740><c> on</c><00:26:50.859><c> that</c><00:26:51.140><c> kind</c><00:26:51.299><c> of</c><00:26:51.559><c> answer.</c>

00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:53.940
And<00:26:52.180><c> that's</c><00:26:52.400><c> the</c><00:26:52.519><c> way</c><00:26:52.619><c> the</c><00:26:52.880><c> prophets</c><00:26:53.039><c> of</c><00:26:53.240><c> Baal</c><00:26:53.400><c> answer.</c>

00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:56.609
They<00:26:54.559><c> give</c><00:26:54.640><c> you</c><00:26:54.779><c> the</c><00:26:55.019><c> answer,</c><00:26:55.359><c> which</c><00:26:55.460><c> is</c><00:26:55.720><c> so</c><00:26:55.900><c> ambiguous,</c>

00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:58.559
it<00:26:57.000><c> can't</c><00:26:57.259><c> possibly</c><00:26:57.619><c> fail.</c>

00:26:59.059 --> 00:27:03.059
But<00:26:59.220><c> in</c><00:26:59.339><c> verse</c><00:26:59.500><c> six,</c><00:26:59.960><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:27:00.420><c> was</c><00:27:00.640><c> not</c><00:27:01.400><c> fooled</c><00:27:01.720><c> for</c><00:27:01.980><c> a</c><00:27:02.059><c> moment.</c>

00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:06.359
He<00:27:04.599><c> looked</c><00:27:04.799><c> at</c><00:27:04.940><c> the</c><00:27:05.019><c> display</c><00:27:05.279><c> of</c><00:27:05.440><c> these</c><00:27:05.680><c> 400</c><00:27:06.019><c> men</c>

of<00:27:16.059><c> him?</c>

00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:19.119
I<00:27:16.700><c> mean,</c><00:27:16.779><c> he</c><00:27:17.140><c> knew</c><00:27:17.400><c> who</c><00:27:17.619><c> these</c><00:27:17.880><c> people</c><00:27:18.119><c> were.</c>

00:27:19.740 --> 00:27:23.220
And<00:27:20.019><c> he</c><00:27:20.259><c> persisted,</c><00:27:21.019><c> persisted</c><00:27:21.599><c> in</c><00:27:21.720><c> getting</c><00:27:21.859><c> God's</c><00:27:22.380><c> answer,</c>

00:27:23.740 --> 00:27:27.240

00:27:39.299 --> 00:27:41.980
Remember<00:27:39.519><c> what</c><00:27:40.059><c> God</c><00:27:40.299><c> said</c><00:27:40.480><c> to</c><00:27:40.660><c> Elijah</c><00:27:41.019><c> on</c><00:27:41.259><c> Mount</c><00:27:41.559><c> Sinai.</c>

If<00:30:42.640><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:30:42.960><c> hadn't</c><00:30:43.119><c> pushed</c><00:30:43.519><c> the</c><00:30:43.839><c> issue,</c>

00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:46.599
Ahab<00:30:44.500><c> would</c><00:30:44.819><c> never</c><00:30:45.140><c> ever</c><00:30:45.500><c> have</c><00:30:45.500><c> brought</c><00:30:45.740><c> that</c><00:30:46.039><c> prophet</c><00:30:46.220><c> in.</c>

00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:47.660
Never<00:30:47.220><c> ever.</c>

00:30:47.660 --> 00:30:49.960
But<00:30:48.579><c> how</c><00:30:48.819><c> ironic.</c>

00:30:50.980 --> 00:30:53.220
He<00:30:51.039><c> had</c><00:30:51.160><c> no</c><00:30:51.559><c> principles</c><00:30:52.099><c> at</c><00:30:52.359><c> all.</c>

00:30:53.259 --> 00:30:56.140
He<00:30:53.359><c> will</c><00:30:53.539><c> do</c><00:30:53.740><c> whatever</c><00:30:54.059><c> it</c><00:30:54.380><c> takes</c><00:30:54.880><c> to</c><00:30:55.339><c> cement</c><00:30:55.680><c> that</c><00:30:55.940><c> alliance</c>

00:30:56.140 --> 00:30:57.000
with<00:30:56.380><c> Jehoshaphat,</c>

00:30:57.299 --> 00:30:59.980
even<00:30:57.559><c> if</c><00:30:57.680><c> he</c><00:30:57.819><c> has</c><00:30:57.960><c> to</c><00:30:58.180><c> listen</c><00:30:58.519><c> to</c><00:30:58.720><c> a</c><00:30:58.940><c> man</c><00:30:59.140><c> he</c><00:30:59.480><c> hates.</c>

00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:01.460
That's<00:31:00.599><c> Ahab.</c>

00:31:01.900 --> 00:31:04.160
No<00:31:02.279><c> principles</c><00:31:02.900><c> whatsoever.</c>

00:31:05.779 --> 00:31:08.819
Well,<00:31:07.059><c> whilst</c><00:31:07.240><c> that's</c><00:31:07.500><c> happening</c><00:31:07.799><c> in</c><00:31:08.019><c> verse</c><00:31:08.259><c> 9,</c>

00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:12.079
the<00:31:09.259><c> king</c><00:31:09.400><c> of</c><00:31:09.519><c> Israel</c><00:31:09.980><c> and</c><00:31:10.380><c> Jehoshaphat,</c><00:31:10.920><c> king</c><00:31:11.019><c> of</c><00:31:11.259><c> Judah,</c>

00:31:12.099 --> 00:31:16.259
sat<00:31:12.299><c> either</c><00:31:12.799><c> of</c><00:31:13.059><c> them</c><00:31:13.259><c> on</c><00:31:13.539><c> his</c><00:31:13.920><c> throne,</c><00:31:14.680><c> clothed</c><00:31:15.180><c> in</c><00:31:15.420><c> their</c><00:31:15.680><c> robes.</c>

00:31:16.259 --> 00:31:18.900
Now,<00:31:16.700><c> there's</c><00:31:16.980><c> an</c><00:31:17.160><c> emphasis</c><00:31:17.480><c> in</c><00:31:17.660><c> this</c><00:31:17.900><c> verse.</c>

00:31:19.380 --> 00:31:22.180
The<00:31:19.380><c> king</c><00:31:19.619><c> of</c><00:31:19.799><c> Israel,</c><00:31:20.799><c> the</c><00:31:20.940><c> king</c><00:31:21.140><c> of</c><00:31:21.400><c> Judah,</c>

00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:24.799
on<00:31:22.579><c> the</c><00:31:22.880><c> throne,</c><00:31:23.880><c> with</c><00:31:24.000><c> their</c><00:31:24.319><c> robes.</c>

00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:28.519
There's<00:31:25.319><c> royalty</c><00:31:25.700><c> here,</c><00:31:26.559><c> absolute</c><00:31:27.079><c> royalty.</c>

00:31:28.579 --> 00:31:30.960
And<00:31:28.680><c> the</c><00:31:28.880><c> reason</c><00:31:29.200><c> why</c><00:31:29.480><c> the</c><00:31:29.700><c> record</c><00:31:29.880><c> is</c><00:31:30.140><c> presenting</c><00:31:30.440><c> us</c><00:31:30.720><c> in</c>

00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:31.519
this<00:31:31.259><c> light</c>

00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:34.319
is<00:31:31.880><c> because</c><00:31:32.160><c> we're</c><00:31:32.359><c> going</c><00:31:32.480><c> to</c><00:31:32.740><c> see</c><00:31:32.859><c> another</c><00:31:33.319><c> court,</c>

00:31:41.460 --> 00:31:43.799
I<00:31:41.559><c> mean,</c><00:31:42.000><c> the</c><00:31:42.119><c> only</c><00:31:42.259><c> reason</c><00:31:42.559><c> why</c><00:31:42.839><c> Ahab</c><00:31:43.079><c> was</c><00:31:43.259><c> the</c><00:31:43.319><c> king</c><00:31:43.440><c> of</c><00:31:43.559><c> Israel</c>

00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:45.180
was<00:31:44.019><c> because</c><00:31:44.140><c> he</c><00:31:44.319><c> sat</c><00:31:44.460><c> on</c><00:31:44.640><c> a</c><00:31:44.859><c> throne.</c>

00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:49.920
He<00:31:45.920><c> had</c><00:31:46.339><c> no</c><00:31:47.019><c> idea</c><00:31:47.880><c> of</c><00:31:48.640><c> the</c><00:31:48.920><c> spiritual</c><00:31:49.380><c> qualities</c>

00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:51.500
that<00:31:50.200><c> God</c><00:31:50.400><c> requires</c><00:31:50.839><c> in</c><00:31:51.140><c> kings.</c>

00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:53.019
Not<00:31:51.920><c> the</c><00:31:52.200><c> faintest</c><00:31:52.640><c> idea.</c>

00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:56.099
He's<00:31:53.519><c> only</c><00:31:53.839><c> a</c><00:31:54.059><c> king</c><00:31:54.460><c> because</c><00:31:55.279><c> he's</c><00:31:55.500><c> sitting</c><00:31:55.599><c> on</c><00:31:55.859><c> a</c><00:31:55.940><c> throne</c>

00:31:56.099 --> 00:31:58.160
and<00:31:56.460><c> looks</c><00:31:56.779><c> the</c><00:31:57.079><c> part.</c>

00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:01.880
Now,<00:31:59.339><c> here</c><00:31:59.480><c> they</c><00:31:59.720><c> are,</c><00:32:00.160><c> says</c><00:32:00.460><c> verse</c><00:32:00.740><c> 9.</c>

00:32:02.460 --> 00:32:05.599
They<00:32:02.720><c> sit</c><00:32:03.339><c> in</c><00:32:04.019><c> a</c><00:32:04.339><c> void</c><00:32:04.779><c> place</c>

00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:13.579
Now,<00:32:09.880><c> the</c><00:32:10.039><c> word</c><00:32:10.279><c> void</c><00:32:10.640><c> place</c><00:32:11.059><c> means</c><00:32:11.339><c> a</c><00:32:11.700><c> threshing</c><00:32:12.440><c> floor.</c>

00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:20.440
So<00:32:14.960><c> they're</c><00:32:15.160><c> sitting</c><00:32:15.640><c> in</c><00:32:15.940><c> a</c><00:32:16.259><c> place</c><00:32:16.880><c> where</c><00:32:17.920><c> wheat</c><00:32:18.460><c> is</c><00:32:19.400><c> threshed.</c>

00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:25.160
What<00:32:20.920><c> is</c><00:32:21.460><c> the</c><00:32:21.660><c> significance</c><00:32:22.319><c> of</c><00:32:22.960><c> a</c><00:32:23.400><c> threshing</c><00:32:24.180><c> floor?</c>

00:32:26.259 --> 00:32:28.220
It's<00:32:26.579><c> the</c><00:32:26.759><c> place</c><00:32:26.920><c> of</c><00:32:27.180><c> judgment.</c>

00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:32.119
It's<00:32:29.400><c> the</c><00:32:29.599><c> place</c><00:32:29.839><c> where</c><00:32:30.240><c> decisions</c><00:32:31.019><c> are</c><00:32:31.480><c> made</c>

00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:36.019
and<00:32:33.039><c> good</c><00:32:33.500><c> and</c><00:32:34.059><c> bad</c><00:32:34.640><c> judgments</c><00:32:35.220><c> are</c><00:32:35.700><c> made.</c>

00:32:36.019 --> 00:32:37.920
And<00:32:36.460><c> here</c><00:32:36.539><c> they</c><00:32:36.700><c> are,</c><00:32:36.920><c> both</c><00:32:37.140><c> of</c><00:32:37.339><c> them,</c>

00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:39.980
sitting<00:32:38.380><c> in</c><00:32:38.900><c> a</c><00:32:39.099><c> threshing</c><00:32:39.480><c> floor</c>

00:32:39.980 --> 00:32:41.680

00:32:41.740 --> 00:32:45.440
And<00:32:41.880><c> the</c><00:32:42.079><c> Gate</c><00:32:42.279><c> is</c><00:32:42.500><c> the</c><00:32:42.700><c> place</c><00:32:42.960><c> of</c><00:32:43.400><c> public</c><00:32:43.880><c> decision</c><00:32:44.480><c>-making.</c>

00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:47.200
So<00:32:45.640><c> the</c><00:32:45.779><c> question</c><00:32:46.160><c> is,</c>

00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:51.099
what<00:32:47.700><c> decision</c><00:32:48.440><c> is</c><00:32:48.880><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:32:49.660><c> going</c><00:32:49.940><c> to</c><00:32:50.259><c> make?</c>

00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:52.519
He's<00:32:51.200><c> in</c><00:32:51.319><c> the</c><00:32:51.619><c> Gate.</c>

00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:55.259
The<00:32:53.579><c> Gate</c><00:32:53.859><c> in</c><00:32:54.039><c> the</c><00:32:54.160><c> Scripture?</c>

00:32:56.259 --> 00:32:58.859
Straight<00:32:56.740><c> is</c><00:32:56.980><c> the</c><00:32:57.160><c> Gate</c><00:32:57.440><c> and</c><00:32:57.680><c> narrow</c><00:32:57.980><c> is</c><00:32:58.180><c> the</c><00:32:58.339><c> way</c><00:32:58.460><c> that</c><00:32:58.720><c> leads</c>

00:32:58.859 --> 00:33:00.019
to<00:32:59.079><c> life,</c>

00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:01.680

00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:06.279
Now,<00:33:04.779><c> which</c><00:33:04.819><c> Gate</c><00:33:05.059><c> are</c><00:33:05.140><c> you</c><00:33:05.180><c> going</c><00:33:05.319><c> to</c><00:33:05.500><c> sit</c><00:33:05.599><c> in,</c><00:33:05.900><c> Jehoshaphat?</c>

00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:08.759
What's<00:33:06.880><c> the</c><00:33:06.980><c> decision</c><00:33:07.299><c> you're</c><00:33:07.519><c> going</c><00:33:07.619><c> to</c><00:33:07.859><c> make?</c>

00:33:09.619 --> 00:33:11.319
They're<00:33:09.740><c> in</c><00:33:09.859><c> the</c><00:33:10.019><c> Gate</c><00:33:10.160><c> of</c><00:33:10.460><c> Samaria.</c>

00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:13.240

You<00:33:22.119><c> know,</c><00:33:22.599><c> we</c><00:33:22.759><c> know,</c>

00:33:23.839 --> 00:33:26.579
we<00:33:24.119><c> know</c><00:33:24.380><c> exactly</c><00:33:24.880><c> what</c><00:33:25.079><c> the</c><00:33:25.339><c> prophets</c><00:33:25.519><c> of</c><00:33:25.779><c> Baal</c><00:33:25.960><c> are</c><00:33:26.140><c> like.</c>

00:33:26.920 --> 00:33:31.420
They<00:33:27.160><c> repeat</c><00:33:27.680><c> over</c><00:33:28.339><c> and</c><00:33:28.539><c> over</c><00:33:29.099><c> and</c><00:33:29.299><c> over</c><00:33:29.779><c> and</c><00:33:29.980><c> over</c><00:33:30.440><c> again.</c>

00:33:31.460 --> 00:33:33.099
They<00:33:31.819><c> jump</c><00:33:32.079><c> up</c><00:33:32.279><c> and</c><00:33:32.440><c> down</c><00:33:32.559><c> on</c><00:33:32.700><c> their</c><00:33:32.880><c> altars.</c>

00:33:33.099 --> 00:33:34.420
They<00:33:33.339><c> gash</c><00:33:33.720><c> themselves.</c>

00:33:34.819 --> 00:33:38.420
That's<00:33:35.079><c> the</c><00:33:35.160><c> way</c><00:33:35.279><c> the</c><00:33:35.519><c> prophets</c><00:33:35.680><c> of</c><00:33:35.960><c> Baal</c><00:33:36.400><c> carry</c><00:33:36.900><c> on.</c>

00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:41.140
They<00:33:38.660><c> were</c><00:33:39.079><c> an</c><00:33:39.579><c> amazing</c><00:33:40.079><c> display.</c>

00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:45.859
But<00:33:42.619><c> one</c><00:33:42.839><c> of</c><00:33:42.960><c> these</c><00:33:43.220><c> prophets</c><00:33:43.759><c> was</c><00:33:44.519><c> very</c><00:33:45.440><c> subtle.</c>

00:33:46.259 --> 00:33:47.779
Here<00:33:46.400><c> he</c><00:33:46.480><c> is</c><00:33:46.579><c> in</c><00:33:46.720><c> verse</c><00:33:46.920><c> 10.</c>

00:33:48.140 --> 00:33:50.940
Zedekiah,<00:33:48.880><c> the</c><00:33:48.980><c> son</c><00:33:49.180><c> of</c><00:33:49.460><c> Chennanah,</c>

00:33:51.059 --> 00:33:52.640
who<00:33:51.180><c> was</c><00:33:51.299><c> obviously</c><00:33:51.500><c> a</c><00:33:51.779><c> leader.</c>

00:33:52.849 --> 00:33:55.400
Zedekiah,<00:33:53.220><c> Yah</c><00:33:53.799><c> hath</c><00:33:54.220><c> remembered.</c>

00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:58.400
He<00:33:57.059><c> hath</c><00:33:57.380><c> remembered.</c>

00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:00.180
What<00:33:58.940><c> did</c><00:33:59.160><c> he</c><00:33:59.160><c> do?</c>

00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:02.940
He<00:34:01.400><c> made</c><00:34:01.680><c> him</c><00:34:02.140><c> horns</c><00:34:02.519><c> of</c><00:34:02.799><c> iron.</c>

00:34:02.980 --> 00:34:06.539
So<00:34:03.220><c> he</c><00:34:03.980><c> developed</c><00:34:04.420><c> these</c><00:34:04.779><c> very</c><00:34:04.960><c> quickly,</c><00:34:05.220><c> these</c><00:34:05.480><c> horns,</c>

00:34:06.619 --> 00:34:09.780
put<00:34:06.779><c> them</c><00:34:06.900><c> on</c><00:34:06.980><c> his</c><00:34:07.240><c> head,</c><00:34:08.059><c> and</c><00:34:08.420><c> charged.</c>

00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:13.000
And<00:34:10.360><c> said,</c><00:34:10.739><c> thus</c><00:34:10.760><c> saith</c><00:34:11.000><c> Yahweh,</c><00:34:11.659><c> thus</c><00:34:11.940><c> saith</c><00:34:12.280><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:34:13.300 --> 00:34:15.119
What<00:34:13.599><c> evil</c><00:34:13.980><c> lies</c><00:34:14.340><c> that</c><00:34:14.619><c> is.</c>

00:34:15.579 --> 00:34:19.820
With<00:34:15.820><c> thee</c><00:34:16.159><c> thou</c><00:34:16.519><c> shalt</c><00:34:16.780><c> push</c><00:34:17.260><c> Syria</c><00:34:17.840><c> until</c><00:34:18.420><c> they</c><00:34:18.599><c> be</c><00:34:18.780><c> consumed.</c>

00:34:19.860 --> 00:34:24.159
The<00:34:20.119><c> subtlety</c><00:34:20.480><c> of</c><00:34:20.699><c> that</c><00:34:21.320><c> is</c><00:34:21.980><c> revealed</c><00:34:22.340><c> in</c><00:34:22.599><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:34:23.320><c> 33.</c>

00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:25.860
Let's<00:34:24.440><c> come</c><00:34:24.639><c> to</c><00:34:24.800><c> that.</c>

00:34:26.500 --> 00:34:28.199
Deuteronomy<00:34:27.099><c> 33,</c>

00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:34.059
it<00:34:30.559><c> was</c><00:34:30.760><c> a</c><00:34:30.900><c> performance</c><00:34:31.739><c> based</c><00:34:32.800><c> on</c><00:34:33.059><c> scripture.</c>

00:34:34.500 --> 00:34:37.579
He<00:34:34.599><c> was</c><00:34:34.900><c> attempting</c><00:34:35.300><c> to</c><00:34:35.679><c> win</c><00:34:36.000><c> Jehoshaphat</c>

00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:40.179
by<00:34:38.880><c> appealing</c><00:34:39.480><c> to</c><00:34:39.719><c> scripture.</c>

00:34:40.500 --> 00:34:42.760
Well,<00:34:40.659><c> they</c><00:34:40.780><c> knew</c><00:34:40.940><c> their</c><00:34:41.179><c> Bible,</c><00:34:41.539><c> these</c><00:34:41.639><c> prophets</c><00:34:41.940><c> of</c><00:34:42.139><c> Baal.</c>

00:34:43.059 --> 00:34:46.179
They<00:34:43.219><c> didn't</c><00:34:43.440><c> believe</c><00:34:43.739><c> it,</c><00:34:44.619><c> but</c><00:34:44.880><c> they</c><00:34:44.960><c> knew</c><00:34:45.079><c> their</c><00:34:45.260><c> Bible.</c>

00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:48.440
Now,<00:34:47.199><c> in</c><00:34:47.320><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:34:47.639><c> 33,</c>

00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:53.880
we<00:34:49.039><c> have</c><00:34:49.460><c> the</c><00:34:50.739><c> prophecy</c><00:34:51.099><c> of</c><00:34:51.360><c> Moses,</c><00:34:52.099><c> the</c><00:34:52.360><c> blessing</c><00:34:52.659><c> of</c><00:34:52.880><c> Moses.</c>

00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:56.619
And<00:34:54.760><c> in</c><00:34:54.920><c> verse</c><00:34:55.099><c> 17,</c>

00:34:56.619 --> 00:35:02.480
Joseph's<00:34:57.860><c> glory</c><00:34:58.360><c> is</c><00:34:58.659><c> like</c><00:34:58.900><c> the</c><00:34:59.300><c> first</c><00:34:59.760><c> sling</c><00:35:00.360><c> of</c><00:35:00.719><c> his</c><00:35:01.159><c> bullock,</c>

00:35:03.260 --> 00:35:08.980

00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:12.539
With<00:35:09.420><c> them</c><00:35:10.019><c> he</c><00:35:10.599><c> shall</c><00:35:10.900><c> push</c><00:35:11.440><c> the</c><00:35:11.780><c> people</c><00:35:12.099><c> together</c>

00:35:12.539 --> 00:35:14.179
to<00:35:12.820><c> the</c><00:35:13.099><c> ends</c><00:35:13.380><c> of</c><00:35:13.639><c> the</c><00:35:13.840><c> earth.</c>

00:35:14.500 --> 00:35:15.679
Do<00:35:14.679><c> you</c><00:35:14.679><c> know</c><00:35:14.760><c> what</c><00:35:14.940><c> Zedekiah</c><00:35:15.280><c> was</c><00:35:15.440><c> doing?</c>

00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:18.940
He<00:35:15.900><c> said,</c><00:35:16.119><c> listen,</c><00:35:17.059><c> we</c><00:35:17.280><c> can</c><00:35:17.519><c> fulfill</c><00:35:17.900><c> prophecy.</c>

00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:22.239
Remember<00:35:21.159><c> many,</c><00:35:21.380><c> many</c><00:35:21.559><c> years</c><00:35:21.800><c> ago,</c>

00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:24.739
here's<00:35:22.639><c> a</c><00:35:22.880><c> prophecy</c><00:35:23.179><c> where</c><00:35:23.559><c> Ephraim,</c><00:35:24.179><c> and</c><00:35:24.320><c> here</c><00:35:24.460><c> we</c><00:35:24.639><c> are,</c>

00:35:24.940 --> 00:35:26.400
Ephraim<00:35:25.260><c> is</c><00:35:25.460><c> in</c><00:35:25.820><c> Samaria,</c>

00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:28.440
where<00:35:26.980><c> Ephraim</c><00:35:27.800><c> took</c><00:35:27.960><c> the</c><00:35:28.239><c> horns</c>

00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:30.420
and<00:35:28.760><c> pushed</c><00:35:29.039><c> people</c><00:35:29.300><c> to</c><00:35:29.460><c> the</c><00:35:29.539><c> ends</c><00:35:29.699><c> of</c><00:35:29.860><c> the</c><00:35:30.019><c> earth.</c>

00:35:30.780 --> 00:35:33.440
Zedekiah<00:35:31.199><c> says,</c><00:35:31.420><c> listen,</c><00:35:31.519><c> we</c><00:35:31.679><c> can</c><00:35:31.900><c> fulfill</c><00:35:32.099><c> Bible</c><00:35:32.420><c> prophecy.</c>

00:35:34.099 --> 00:35:35.739
How<00:35:34.360><c> cunning</c><00:35:34.579><c> is</c><00:35:34.860><c> that?</c>

00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:38.820
Appealing<00:35:36.659><c> to</c><00:35:36.880><c> Jehoshaphat.</c>

00:35:38.860 --> 00:35:42.019
God<00:35:39.000><c> has</c><00:35:39.300><c> said</c><00:35:39.639><c> that</c><00:35:40.320><c> we</c><00:35:40.380><c> can</c><00:35:40.599><c> push</c><00:35:40.920><c> these</c><00:35:41.199><c> people</c><00:35:41.380><c> to</c><00:35:41.559><c> the</c><00:35:41.679><c> ends</c><00:35:41.820><c> of</c>

00:35:42.019 --> 00:35:42.280
the<00:35:42.139><c> earth.</c>

00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:45.219
That's<00:35:42.500><c> what</c><00:35:42.599><c> I'm</c><00:35:42.780><c> doing.</c><00:35:43.039><c> God</c><00:35:43.199><c> has</c><00:35:43.440><c> told</c><00:35:43.579><c> me</c><00:35:43.739><c> we're</c><00:35:43.880><c> doing</c><00:35:44.079><c> that.</c>

00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:47.440
Thus<00:35:46.039><c> said</c><00:35:46.219><c> Yahweh,</c>

00:35:48.019 --> 00:35:49.360

00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:57.300
And<00:35:54.739><c> verse</c><00:35:54.920><c> 11,</c><00:35:55.260><c> all</c><00:35:55.579><c> the</c><00:35:55.840><c> prophets</c><00:35:56.059><c> prophesied</c><00:35:56.760><c> so,</c>

00:35:57.599 --> 00:35:59.679

00:35:59.940 --> 00:36:00.780
Can<00:36:00.159><c> you</c><00:36:00.159><c> imagine</c><00:36:00.440><c> that?</c>

Jehoshaphat<00:39:02.019><c> failed</c><00:39:02.639><c> to</c><00:39:03.179><c> make</c><00:39:03.300><c> that</c><00:39:03.699><c> distinction</c>

00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:05.840
between<00:39:04.519><c> himself</c><00:39:05.019><c> and</c><00:39:05.340><c> Ahab.</c>

00:39:06.099 --> 00:39:08.579
But<00:39:06.260><c> Micahiah</c><00:39:06.780><c> has</c><00:39:07.280><c> made</c><00:39:07.820><c> the</c><00:39:08.139><c> distinction.</c>

00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:11.460
I<00:39:09.000><c> am</c><00:39:09.199><c> not</c><00:39:09.619><c> like</c><00:39:10.099><c> one</c><00:39:10.340><c> of</c><00:39:10.579><c> them.</c>

00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:14.119
So<00:39:12.280><c> verse</c><00:39:12.460><c> 14.</c>

00:39:14.860 --> 00:39:15.900
He<00:39:14.860><c> comes</c><00:39:15.099><c> before</c><00:39:15.539><c> the</c><00:39:15.719><c> king.</c>

00:39:15.980 --> 00:39:17.260
Imagine<00:39:16.320><c> that.</c>

00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:19.920
The<00:39:17.679><c> 400</c><00:39:17.980><c> prophets</c><00:39:18.300><c> of</c><00:39:18.519><c> Baal</c><00:39:18.800><c> part.</c>

00:39:20.679 --> 00:39:21.219
It's<00:39:20.900><c> excitement.</c>

00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:23.699
Here<00:39:21.500><c> comes</c><00:39:21.780><c> the</c><00:39:22.179><c> single</c><00:39:22.800><c> prophet</c><00:39:23.300><c> of</c><00:39:23.559><c> God,</c>

00:39:23.780 --> 00:39:25.639
the<00:39:23.960><c> only</c><00:39:24.320><c> man</c><00:39:24.639><c> in</c><00:39:24.780><c> the</c><00:39:24.920><c> whole</c><00:39:25.179><c> region,</c>

00:39:25.860 --> 00:39:27.239
because<00:39:26.000><c> he</c><00:39:26.099><c> was</c><00:39:26.219><c> in</c><00:39:26.400><c> prison,</c><00:39:26.579><c> that's</c><00:39:26.860><c> why.</c>

00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:29.239
And<00:39:27.699><c> they</c><00:39:27.880><c> bring</c><00:39:28.019><c> him</c><00:39:28.239><c> through,</c><00:39:28.539><c> and</c><00:39:28.539><c> the</c><00:39:28.699><c> prophets</c><00:39:28.880><c> of</c><00:39:29.099><c> Baal</c>

00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:30.219
move<00:39:29.699><c> past,</c>

00:39:30.300 --> 00:39:33.460
and<00:39:30.360><c> he</c><00:39:30.559><c> comes</c><00:39:30.840><c> and</c><00:39:31.039><c> stands</c><00:39:31.380><c> before</c><00:39:31.659><c> the</c><00:39:31.880><c> king.</c>

00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:36.340
Every<00:39:34.260><c> eye</c><00:39:34.599><c> is</c><00:39:34.719><c> upon</c><00:39:34.940><c> this</c><00:39:35.260><c> man.</c>

00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:37.300
So<00:39:36.619><c> verse</c><00:39:36.840><c> 14.</c>

00:39:37.340 --> 00:39:39.719
When<00:39:37.400><c> he</c><00:39:37.559><c> was</c><00:39:37.760><c> come</c><00:39:37.900><c> to</c><00:39:38.059><c> the</c><00:39:38.239><c> king,</c><00:39:38.519><c> the</c><00:39:38.539><c> king</c><00:39:38.760><c> said</c><00:39:38.980><c> to</c><00:39:39.099><c> him,</c>

00:39:39.860 --> 00:39:42.500
Micahiah,<00:39:40.960><c> shall</c><00:39:41.199><c> we</c><00:39:41.420><c> go</c><00:39:41.539><c> to</c><00:39:41.679><c> Ramoth</c><00:39:41.920><c> Gilead</c><00:39:42.139><c> to</c><00:39:42.320><c> battle,</c>

00:39:42.579 --> 00:39:44.500
or<00:39:42.760><c> shall</c><00:39:42.960><c> I</c><00:39:43.420><c> forbear?</c>

00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:45.440
Same<00:39:44.820><c> question.</c>

00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:47.639
Trying<00:39:45.960><c> to</c><00:39:46.239><c> lead</c><00:39:46.619><c> him.</c>

00:39:49.019 --> 00:39:51.219
So<00:39:49.159><c> Micahiah</c><00:39:49.719><c> says,</c><00:39:50.300><c> now</c><00:39:50.400><c> notice</c><00:39:50.599><c> verse</c><00:39:50.800><c> 14.</c>

00:39:51.659 --> 00:39:53.079
He<00:39:52.000><c> said.</c>

00:39:54.300 --> 00:39:56.340
It's<00:39:54.659><c> not</c><00:39:55.059><c> thus</c><00:39:55.460><c> saith</c><00:39:55.739><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:39:56.340 --> 00:39:58.900
It's<00:39:57.059><c> not</c><00:39:57.199><c> he</c><00:39:57.719><c> said</c><00:39:58.000><c> thus</c><00:39:58.300><c> saith</c><00:39:58.539><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:39:59.139 --> 00:40:00.619
It's<00:39:59.820><c> he</c><00:40:00.280><c> said.</c>

00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:04.300
So<00:40:01.480><c> he's</c><00:40:02.219><c> taunting</c><00:40:02.619><c> the</c><00:40:02.900><c> king.</c>

00:40:05.579 --> 00:40:07.760
Go<00:40:05.579><c> up</c><00:40:05.840><c> and</c><00:40:06.019><c> prosper,</c><00:40:06.880><c> and</c><00:40:06.940><c> they</c><00:40:07.119><c> shall</c><00:40:07.260><c> be</c><00:40:07.440><c> delivered</c><00:40:07.599><c> into</c>

00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:09.079
your<00:40:08.019><c> hand.</c>

00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:12.820
Now<00:40:09.679><c> that's</c><00:40:10.019><c> the</c><00:40:10.280><c> message</c><00:40:10.880><c> he</c><00:40:11.320><c> wanted</c><00:40:11.639><c> to</c><00:40:12.000><c> hear.</c>

00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:16.820
He<00:40:14.000><c> wanted</c><00:40:14.159><c> to</c><00:40:14.599><c> hear</c><00:40:14.980><c> those</c><00:40:15.559><c> words.</c>

00:40:17.260 --> 00:40:20.980
But<00:40:17.380><c> you</c><00:40:17.559><c> see,</c><00:40:17.679><c> he'd</c><00:40:18.039><c> had</c><00:40:18.340><c> dealings</c><00:40:18.760><c> with</c><00:40:19.039><c> Micahiah</c><00:40:19.659><c> before.</c>

00:40:21.059 --> 00:40:24.300
And<00:40:21.400><c> he</c><00:40:21.639><c> knew,</c><00:40:22.239><c> he</c><00:40:22.400><c> knew</c><00:40:22.579><c> exactly</c><00:40:23.199><c> what</c><00:40:23.380><c> this</c><00:40:23.619><c> prophet</c><00:40:23.760><c> was</c><00:40:24.019><c> doing.</c>

00:40:24.300 --> 00:40:26.719
So<00:40:25.119><c> in</c><00:40:25.239><c> verse</c><00:40:25.400><c> 15,</c><00:40:25.820><c> the</c><00:40:25.880><c> king</c><00:40:26.039><c> said</c><00:40:26.280><c> to</c><00:40:26.400><c> him,</c>

00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:29.639
How<00:40:27.199><c> many</c><00:40:27.480><c> times</c><00:40:27.800><c> shall</c><00:40:27.980><c> I</c><00:40:28.099><c> adjure</c><00:40:28.380><c> thee</c><00:40:28.519><c> that</c><00:40:28.639><c> thou</c><00:40:28.880><c> say</c><00:40:29.139><c> nothing</c><00:40:29.460><c> but</c>

00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:30.559
the<00:40:29.920><c> truth</c><00:40:30.099><c> to</c><00:40:30.280><c> me</c>

00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:31.840
in<00:40:30.780><c> the</c><00:40:31.039><c> name</c><00:40:31.199><c> of</c><00:40:31.480><c> Yahweh?</c>

00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:34.820
And<00:40:32.239><c> it's</c><00:40:32.460><c> obvious,</c><00:40:32.940><c> brothers</c><00:40:33.019><c> and</c><00:40:33.199><c> sisters,</c><00:40:33.400><c> that</c><00:40:33.519><c> in</c><00:40:33.820><c> past</c><00:40:34.099><c> experiences,</c>

00:40:35.139 --> 00:40:37.500
Micahiah<00:40:35.440><c> had</c><00:40:35.599><c> been</c><00:40:36.039><c> taunting</c><00:40:36.619><c> this</c><00:40:37.139><c> king.</c>

00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:39.820
Because<00:40:38.139><c> he</c><00:40:38.260><c> never</c><00:40:38.460><c> listened</c><00:40:38.679><c> anyway.</c>

00:40:41.159 --> 00:40:43.400
And<00:40:41.300><c> it's</c><00:40:41.539><c> clear</c><00:40:41.719><c> that</c><00:40:41.880><c> Micahiah</c><00:40:42.420><c> had</c><00:40:42.639><c> frequently</c><00:40:43.000><c> given</c><00:40:43.179><c> his</c>

00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:44.739
own<00:40:43.619><c> opinion.</c>

00:40:45.500 --> 00:40:48.980
And<00:40:45.699><c> Ahab</c><00:40:45.940><c> knew</c><00:40:46.159><c> that</c><00:40:46.320><c> the</c><00:40:46.539><c> only</c><00:40:46.960><c> way,</c><00:40:47.179><c> the</c><00:40:47.440><c> only</c><00:40:47.800><c> way</c><00:40:48.019><c> he</c><00:40:48.340><c> could</c><00:40:48.599><c> get</c>

00:40:48.980 --> 00:40:51.920
God's<00:40:49.519><c> word</c><00:40:49.619><c> out</c><00:40:49.699><c> of</c><00:40:49.860><c> this</c><00:40:50.079><c> man</c><00:40:50.260><c> is</c><00:40:50.360><c> if</c><00:40:50.460><c> he</c><00:40:50.559><c> put</c><00:40:50.699><c> him</c><00:40:50.780><c> under</c><00:40:51.059><c> oath.</c>

00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:54.219
So<00:40:53.119><c> he</c><00:40:53.159><c> didn't</c><00:40:53.340><c> believe</c><00:40:53.599><c> what</c><00:40:53.719><c> he</c><00:40:53.940><c> said.</c>

00:40:54.500 --> 00:40:59.139
Even<00:40:54.760><c> though</c><00:40:54.920><c> he</c><00:40:54.960><c> wanted</c><00:40:55.219><c> to</c><00:40:55.559><c> hear</c><00:40:55.699><c> those</c><00:40:56.019><c> words,</c><00:40:56.659><c> he</c><00:40:56.940><c> couldn't</c><00:40:57.539><c> accept</c><00:40:58.079><c> them.</c>

00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:01.460
It's<00:40:59.420><c> the</c><00:40:59.579><c> irony</c><00:40:59.940><c> of</c><00:41:00.079><c> the</c><00:41:00.199><c> whole</c><00:41:00.320><c> situation.</c>

00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:04.719
Listen,<00:41:03.059><c> I'll</c><00:41:03.260><c> put</c><00:41:03.340><c> you</c><00:41:03.460><c> under</c><00:41:03.659><c> oath.</c>

00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:08.159
Tell<00:41:06.019><c> me</c><00:41:06.260><c> exactly</c><00:41:06.719><c> what</c><00:41:06.940><c> God</c><00:41:07.139><c> said.</c>

00:41:10.300 --> 00:41:15.920
So<00:41:10.480><c> verse</c><00:41:10.679><c> 16,</c><00:41:11.599><c> he</c><00:41:11.860><c> said,</c><00:41:12.219><c> I</c><00:41:12.320><c> did</c><00:41:12.699><c> see</c><00:41:13.139><c> all</c><00:41:13.880><c> Israel</c><00:41:14.840><c> scathed</c>

00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:16.599
upon<00:41:16.099><c> the</c><00:41:16.360><c> mountains</c>

00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:18.360
as<00:41:17.059><c> sheep</c><00:41:17.320><c> that</c><00:41:17.559><c> have</c><00:41:17.739><c> no</c><00:41:18.059><c> shepherd.</c>

00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:21.900
And<00:41:18.699><c> Yahweh</c><00:41:19.059><c> said,</c><00:41:20.039><c> these</c><00:41:20.119><c> have</c><00:41:20.619><c> no</c><00:41:20.860><c> master.</c>

00:41:22.260 --> 00:41:26.599
Let<00:41:22.340><c> them</c><00:41:22.559><c> return</c><00:41:22.980><c> every</c><00:41:23.420><c> man</c><00:41:23.900><c> to</c><00:41:24.199><c> his</c><00:41:24.420><c> house</c><00:41:24.980><c> in</c><00:41:25.559><c> peace.</c>

00:41:27.380 --> 00:41:28.900
There's<00:41:27.739><c> the</c><00:41:27.940><c> truth.</c>

00:41:29.880 --> 00:41:34.219

00:49:18.780 --> 00:49:21.179

00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:24.719
See,<00:49:22.219><c> remember,</c><00:49:22.840><c> he</c><00:49:23.059><c> sets</c><00:49:23.320><c> up</c><00:49:23.619><c> kings.</c>

00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:27.500
He<00:49:26.320><c> removes</c><00:49:26.840><c> kings.</c>

00:49:27.500 --> 00:49:29.480
He<00:49:28.059><c> changes</c><00:49:28.599><c> times</c><00:49:29.019><c> and</c><00:49:29.260><c> seasons.</c>

00:49:29.739 --> 00:49:31.059
Here<00:49:29.860><c> is</c><00:49:30.039><c> the</c><00:49:30.179><c> way</c><00:49:30.360><c> he</c><00:49:30.500><c> does</c><00:49:30.739><c> it.</c>

00:49:31.260 --> 00:49:32.440
The<00:49:31.440><c> decision</c><00:49:31.699><c> has</c><00:49:31.900><c> been</c><00:49:32.179><c> made.</c>

00:49:35.920 --> 00:49:37.219
So<00:49:36.380><c> he's</c><00:49:36.659><c> going</c><00:49:36.739><c> to</c><00:49:36.980><c> fall.</c>

00:49:42.539 --> 00:49:44.159
Now<00:49:42.639><c> we've</c><00:49:42.800><c> suggested</c><00:49:43.280><c> why</c><00:49:43.599><c> Ramoth</c><00:49:43.920><c> Gilead</c>

00:52:59.840 --> 00:53:03.239
Yahweh<00:53:00.199><c> snares</c><00:53:00.619><c> the</c><00:53:00.860><c> wicked</c><00:53:01.079><c> in</c><00:53:01.500><c> his</c><00:53:01.800><c> own</c><00:53:02.179><c> devices.</c>

00:53:04.019 --> 00:53:07.380
So<00:53:04.639><c> God</c><00:53:05.260><c> says,</c><00:53:06.119><c> I</c><00:53:06.119><c> want</c><00:53:06.500><c> Ahab</c><00:53:06.800><c> to</c><00:53:07.119><c> fall.</c>

So<00:58:51.539><c> Ahab</c><00:58:51.840><c> thinks,</c><00:58:52.940><c> ah,</c><00:58:54.460><c> I've</c><00:58:54.639><c> got</c><00:58:54.699><c> to</c><00:58:54.780><c> be</c><00:58:54.920><c> careful</c><00:58:55.119><c> about</c><00:58:55.360><c> this.</c>

00:58:56.340 --> 00:58:58.800
The<00:58:56.820><c> sheep</c><00:58:57.039><c> will</c><00:58:57.219><c> be</c><00:58:57.400><c> scattered,</c><00:58:57.960><c> but</c><00:58:58.039><c> the</c><00:58:58.199><c> shepherd's</c><00:58:58.559><c> going.</c>

00:58:59.199 --> 00:59:02.500
Now,<00:58:59.380><c> if</c><00:58:59.460><c> I</c><00:58:59.739><c> can</c><00:59:00.039><c> disguise</c><00:59:00.519><c> myself,</c><00:59:01.619><c> I</c><00:59:01.840><c> can</c><00:59:02.039><c> become</c><00:59:02.219><c> one</c><00:59:02.360><c> of</c>

00:59:02.500 --> 00:59:03.019
the<00:59:02.739><c> sheep,</c>

00:59:03.400 --> 00:59:05.380
and<00:59:03.679><c> he</c><00:59:03.920><c> can</c><00:59:04.159><c> become</c><00:59:04.360><c> the</c><00:59:04.619><c> shepherd.</c>

00:59:06.099 --> 00:59:09.420
So<00:59:06.300><c> I</c><00:59:06.519><c> can</c><00:59:06.820><c> avoid</c><00:59:07.400><c> the</c><00:59:07.639><c> judgment</c><00:59:08.000><c> by</c><00:59:08.380><c> being</c><00:59:08.659><c> one</c><00:59:08.820><c> of</c><00:59:08.960><c> the</c><00:59:09.119><c> sheep,</c>

00:59:09.800 --> 00:59:11.780
and<00:59:09.920><c> he</c><00:59:10.139><c> can</c><00:59:10.360><c> take</c><00:59:10.619><c> the</c><00:59:11.039><c> heat.</c>

00:59:11.820 --> 00:59:13.780
That's<00:59:12.219><c> the</c><00:59:12.340><c> way</c><00:59:12.500><c> Ahab</c><00:59:12.800><c> thought.</c>

00:59:16.579 --> 00:59:19.039
But<00:59:16.900><c> why</c><00:59:17.099><c> do</c><00:59:17.239><c> you</c><00:59:17.300><c> think</c><00:59:17.440><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:59:18.039><c> went</c><00:59:18.300><c> up?</c>

00:59:20.420 --> 00:59:23.619
I<00:59:20.559><c> mean,</c><00:59:20.659><c> we</c><00:59:20.699><c> can</c><00:59:20.880><c> understand</c><00:59:22.579><c> Ahab</c><00:59:23.039><c> going</c><00:59:23.300><c> out,</c>

00:59:23.619 --> 00:59:26.960
but<00:59:24.039><c> what</c><00:59:24.519><c> about</c><00:59:25.000><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:59:25.420><c> listened</c><00:59:25.760><c> to</c><00:59:26.039><c> all</c><00:59:26.239><c> of</c><00:59:26.440><c> that?</c>

00:59:27.199 --> 00:59:30.019
He<00:59:27.360><c> understood</c><00:59:27.639><c> exactly</c><00:59:28.239><c> what</c><00:59:28.519><c> Micaiah</c><00:59:28.860><c> was</c><00:59:29.199><c> saying.</c>

00:59:30.900 --> 00:59:33.340
Why<00:59:31.340><c> did</c><00:59:31.800><c> he</c><00:59:32.059><c> continue</c><00:59:32.559><c> to</c><00:59:32.760><c> go</c><00:59:32.840><c> to</c><00:59:32.960><c> the</c><00:59:33.099><c> battle?</c>

00:59:33.820 --> 00:59:36.380
And<00:59:33.980><c> the</c><00:59:34.139><c> only</c><00:59:34.320><c> reason</c><00:59:34.559><c> I</c><00:59:34.800><c> can</c><00:59:34.880><c> come</c><00:59:35.019><c> up</c><00:59:35.199><c> with</c>

00:59:36.639 --> 00:59:41.280
is<00:59:37.320><c> that</c><00:59:37.519><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:59:38.300><c> knew</c><00:59:38.840><c> that</c><00:59:39.199><c> Ahab</c><00:59:39.579><c> would</c><00:59:40.059><c> fall</c><00:59:40.539><c> in</c><00:59:40.760><c> the</c><00:59:40.940><c> battle,</c>

00:59:41.679 --> 00:59:47.099
and<00:59:42.139><c> if</c><00:59:42.719><c> he</c><00:59:43.199><c> fell</c><00:59:43.599><c> in</c><00:59:44.079><c> battle,</c><00:59:44.800><c> it</c><00:59:45.019><c> would</c><00:59:45.380><c> mean</c><00:59:45.679><c> a</c><00:59:46.260><c> change</c><00:59:46.760><c> in</c>

00:59:47.099 --> 00:59:48.519
the<00:59:47.400><c> dynasty.</c>

00:59:48.739 --> 00:59:52.039
And<00:59:49.099><c> if</c><00:59:49.260><c> there</c><00:59:49.440><c> was</c><00:59:49.599><c> a</c><00:59:49.900><c> change</c><00:59:50.300><c> in</c><00:59:50.500><c> the</c><00:59:50.679><c> dynasty,</c><00:59:51.179><c> it</c><00:59:51.280><c> would</c><00:59:51.480><c> mean</c><00:59:51.619><c> a</c>

00:59:52.039 --> 00:59:53.280
change<00:59:52.400><c> in</c><00:59:52.619><c> the</c><00:59:52.860><c> palace,</c>

00:59:53.280 --> 00:59:55.940
and<00:59:53.719><c> if</c><00:59:53.880><c> there</c><00:59:54.059><c> was</c><00:59:54.219><c> a</c><00:59:54.420><c> change</c><00:59:54.599><c> in</c><00:59:54.780><c> the</c><00:59:55.019><c> palace,</c>

00:59:56.760 --> 01:00:00.940
his<00:59:56.820><c> family</c><00:59:57.420><c> influence</c><00:59:58.159><c> could,</c><00:59:58.780><c> in</c><00:59:59.139><c> fact,</c><00:59:59.760><c> make</c><01:00:00.000><c> some</c><01:00:00.280><c> difference.</c>

01:00:01.380 --> 01:00:03.179
And<01:00:01.539><c> I</c><01:00:01.599><c> think</c><01:00:01.699><c> that's</c><01:00:01.940><c> why</c><01:00:02.159><c> Jehoshaphat</c><01:00:02.639><c> continued.</c>

01:00:03.460 --> 01:00:05.559
Now,<01:00:03.599><c> we're</c><01:00:03.739><c> not</c><01:00:03.980><c> told</c><01:00:04.159><c> on</c><01:00:04.300><c> the</c><01:00:04.440><c> record,</c>

01:00:07.380 --> 01:00:09.880
but<01:00:07.559><c> he</c><01:00:07.679><c> understood</c><01:00:07.960><c> exactly</c><01:00:08.539><c> what</c><01:00:08.780><c> Micaiah</c><01:00:09.179><c> had</c><01:00:09.519><c> said,</c>

01:00:10.119 --> 01:00:11.500
and<01:00:10.360><c> he</c><01:00:10.440><c> was</c><01:00:10.599><c> willing</c><01:00:10.719><c> to</c><01:00:10.880><c> go</c><01:00:11.079><c> along,</c>

01:00:11.880 --> 01:00:14.000
knowing<01:00:12.280><c> that</c><01:00:12.559><c> Ahab</c><01:00:12.780><c> would</c><01:00:13.179><c> fall</c><01:00:13.480><c> in</c><01:00:13.599><c> the</c><01:00:13.760><c> battle.</c>

01:00:14.320 --> 01:00:16.880
I<01:00:14.539><c> think</c><01:00:14.699><c> he</c><01:00:14.980><c> wanted</c><01:00:15.260><c> a</c><01:00:15.539><c> change</c><01:00:15.719><c> in</c><01:00:15.880><c> dynasty.</c>

01:00:18.199 --> 01:00:19.860
So<01:00:18.380><c> off</c><01:00:18.500><c> they</c><01:00:18.699><c> go.</c>

01:00:22.639 --> 01:00:25.820
The<01:00:23.079><c> king</c><01:00:23.239><c> of</c><01:00:23.460><c> Syria</c><01:00:24.039><c> commanded</c><01:00:24.739><c> the</c><01:00:24.980><c> captains</c><01:00:25.179><c> of</c><01:00:25.360><c> the</c><01:00:25.480><c> chariots</c><01:00:25.719><c> that</c>

01:00:25.820 --> 01:00:26.300
were<01:00:25.880><c> with</c><01:00:26.079><c> him,</c>

01:00:26.320 --> 01:00:27.380
and<01:00:26.460><c> we</c><01:00:26.599><c> know</c><01:00:26.800><c> the</c><01:00:27.000><c> story,</c><01:00:27.260><c> don't</c><01:00:27.320><c> we?</c>

01:00:27.400 --> 01:00:29.860
Here's<01:00:27.579><c> another</c><01:00:27.820><c> king,</c><01:00:28.380><c> the</c><01:00:28.519><c> king</c><01:00:28.659><c> of</c><01:00:28.940><c> Syria,</c>

01:00:30.099 --> 01:00:33.460
and<01:00:30.539><c> he's</c><01:00:30.780><c> got</c><01:00:30.940><c> people</c><01:00:31.219><c> who</c><01:00:31.400><c> are</c><01:00:31.719><c> obedient</c><01:00:32.159><c> to</c><01:00:32.500><c> him.</c>

01:00:33.800 --> 01:00:34.659
And<01:00:34.019><c> he</c><01:00:34.239><c> says</c><01:00:34.500><c> to</c><01:00:34.619><c> them,</c>

01:00:34.760 --> 01:00:38.940
look,<01:00:35.239><c> I</c><01:00:35.400><c> want</c><01:00:35.599><c> you</c><01:00:35.699><c> to</c><01:00:35.960><c> fight</c><01:00:36.179><c> with</c><01:00:36.539><c> one</c><01:00:37.159><c> man</c><01:00:37.639><c> only,</c><01:00:38.639><c> the</c><01:00:38.820><c> king</c>

01:00:38.940 --> 01:00:40.019
of<01:00:39.139><c> Israel.</c>

01:00:40.679 --> 01:00:42.320
So<01:00:40.820><c> verse</c><01:00:41.019><c> 31,</c><01:00:41.559><c> it</c><01:00:41.559><c> came</c><01:00:41.719><c> to</c><01:00:41.940><c> pass,</c>

01:00:42.539 --> 01:00:44.719
when<01:00:42.679><c> the</c><01:00:42.960><c> captains</c><01:00:43.139><c> of</c><01:00:43.280><c> the</c><01:00:43.500><c> chariots</c><01:00:43.780><c> saw</c><01:00:44.039><c> Jehoshaphat,</c>

01:00:44.880 --> 01:00:46.639
they<01:00:45.099><c> said,</c><01:00:45.519><c> it</c><01:00:45.599><c> is</c><01:00:45.820><c> the</c><01:00:45.900><c> king</c><01:00:46.039><c> of</c><01:00:46.280><c> Israel.</c>

01:00:46.639 --> 01:00:49.559
Therefore<01:00:47.219><c> they</c><01:00:47.519><c> compassed</c><01:00:47.940><c> about</c><01:00:48.159><c> him</c><01:00:48.340><c> to</c><01:00:48.619><c> fight,</c>

01:00:50.340 --> 01:00:53.719
but<01:00:50.480><c> Jehoshaphat</c><01:00:51.000><c> cried</c><01:00:51.420><c> out,</c><01:00:51.940><c> and</c><01:00:52.139><c> Yahweh</c><01:00:52.639><c> helped</c><01:00:53.139><c> him,</c>

01:00:53.800 --> 01:00:57.639
and<01:00:54.139><c> God</c><01:00:54.460><c> moved</c><01:00:54.880><c> them</c><01:00:55.199><c> to</c><01:00:55.420><c> depart</c><01:00:55.880><c> from</c><01:00:56.440><c> him.</c>

01:00:57.739 --> 01:01:00.699
For<01:00:58.059><c> it</c><01:00:58.280><c> came</c><01:00:58.420><c> to</c><01:00:58.719><c> pass</c><01:00:59.059><c> that</c><01:00:59.159><c> when</c><01:00:59.440><c> the</c><01:00:59.679><c> captains</c><01:00:59.920><c> of</c><01:01:00.099><c> the</c><01:01:00.380><c> chariots</c>

01:01:00.699 --> 01:01:03.380
perceived<01:01:01.380><c> it</c><01:01:01.539><c> was</c><01:01:01.800><c> not</c><01:01:02.099><c> the</c><01:01:02.199><c> king</c><01:01:02.340><c> of</c><01:01:02.579><c> Israel,</c>

01:01:03.559 --> 01:01:06.099
they<01:01:03.940><c> turned</c><01:01:04.199><c> back</c><01:01:04.699><c> again</c><01:01:05.139><c> from</c><01:01:05.380><c> pursuing</c><01:01:05.739><c> him.</c>

01:01:06.400 --> 01:01:09.320
Now,<01:01:06.599><c> this</c><01:01:06.760><c> is</c><01:01:06.920><c> an</c><01:01:07.119><c> interesting</c><01:01:07.519><c> section</c><01:01:07.860><c> of</c><01:01:08.820><c> Scripture,</c>

01:01:13.840 --> 01:01:15.880
I<01:01:14.199><c> mean,</c><01:01:14.440><c> the</c><01:01:14.539><c> captains</c><01:01:14.739><c> of</c><01:01:14.960><c> the</c><01:01:15.099><c> chariots</c><01:01:15.320><c> are</c><01:01:15.559><c> out</c><01:01:15.659><c> for</c><01:01:15.800><c> the</c>

Very<01:01:59.880><c> simple.</c>

01:02:00.599 --> 01:02:06.300
But<01:02:00.780><c> even</c><01:02:01.059><c> the</c><01:02:01.340><c> heat</c><01:02:01.599><c> and</c><01:02:01.980><c> turmoil</c><01:02:02.380><c> of</c><01:02:02.679><c> battle,</c><01:02:03.039><c> God</c><01:02:03.300><c> is</c><01:02:04.260><c> exactly</c><01:02:04.980><c> in</c><01:02:05.400><c> control.</c>

01:02:39.460 --> 01:02:40.559
There's<01:02:39.699><c> no</c><01:02:39.920><c> way</c><01:02:40.159><c> out.</c>

01:02:41.000 --> 01:02:44.099
You're<01:02:41.340><c> staring</c><01:02:41.739><c> death</c><01:02:42.260><c> in</c><01:02:42.559><c> the</c><01:02:42.800><c> face.</c>

01:02:49.980 --> 01:02:52.940
