were<00:22:53.200><c> right.</c>

00:22:55.500 --> 00:22:59.140
But<00:22:55.640><c> God</c><00:22:55.900><c> said,</c><00:22:56.680><c> I</c><00:22:56.759><c> will</c><00:22:57.180><c> give</c><00:22:57.460><c> it</c><00:22:57.759><c> to</c><00:22:58.059><c> you.</c>

00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:02.099
And<00:22:59.799><c> the</c><00:22:59.940><c> city</c><00:23:00.059><c> was</c><00:23:00.299><c> taken</c><00:23:00.579><c> without</c><00:23:00.920><c> a</c><00:23:01.140><c> sword.</c>

00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:07.619
What<00:23:04.980><c> are</c><00:23:05.119><c> your</c><00:23:05.299><c> walls</c><00:23:05.619><c> of</c><00:23:05.839><c> Jericho,</c><00:23:06.339><c> brethren</c><00:23:06.579><c> and</c><00:23:06.819><c> sisters?</c>

00:23:15.420 --> 00:23:17.859
What<00:23:15.819><c> is</c><00:23:16.099><c> that</c><00:23:16.359><c> which</c><00:23:16.599><c> reaches</c><00:23:16.960><c> up</c><00:23:17.200><c> to</c><00:23:17.380><c> heaven</c>

What<00:23:22.500><c> is</c><00:23:22.720><c> it?</c>

00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:27.319
I<00:23:24.299><c> put</c><00:23:24.500><c> to</c><00:23:24.740><c> you</c><00:23:24.940><c> that</c><00:23:25.119><c> we</c><00:23:25.339><c> all</c><00:23:25.559><c> have</c><00:23:25.779><c> walls</c><00:23:26.099><c> of</c><00:23:26.359><c> Jericho.</c>

00:23:28.819 --> 00:23:31.880
And<00:23:29.000><c> God</c><00:23:29.279><c> help</c><00:23:29.500><c> us</c><00:23:29.759><c> if</c><00:23:29.900><c> we</c><00:23:30.079><c> don't</c><00:23:30.279><c> know</c><00:23:30.440><c> what</c><00:23:30.619><c> they</c><00:23:30.900><c> are.</c>

00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:38.299
You<00:23:35.660><c> see,</c><00:23:36.319><c> it</c><00:23:36.519><c> can</c><00:23:36.680><c> be</c><00:23:36.839><c> a</c><00:23:36.960><c> physical</c><00:23:37.220><c> thing,</c>

00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:45.299
it<00:23:43.779><c> can</c><00:23:43.960><c> be</c><00:23:44.180><c> pride</c><00:23:44.539><c> and</c><00:23:44.880><c> arrogance,</c>

00:23:45.299 --> 00:23:48.660
it<00:23:45.599><c> can</c><00:23:45.920><c> be</c><00:23:46.240><c> forgetfulness,</c><00:23:46.920><c> but</c><00:23:47.160><c> we</c><00:23:47.460><c> have</c><00:23:47.700><c> them.</c>

00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:54.299

00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:57.279
It's<00:23:55.019><c> the</c><00:23:55.119><c> last</c><00:23:55.259><c> time</c><00:23:55.440><c> I'll</c><00:23:56.240><c> deviate,</c><00:23:57.079><c> actually,</c>

00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:12.660
Oh,<00:24:11.299><c> you</c><00:24:11.400><c> needn't</c><00:24:11.680><c> turn</c><00:24:11.819><c> to</c><00:24:11.920><c> it,</c><00:24:12.140><c> brethren</c><00:24:12.299><c> and</c><00:24:12.460><c> sisters,</c>

you'll<00:24:13.559><c> know</c><00:24:13.720><c> this.</c>

00:24:14.220 --> 00:24:16.220
Sunday<00:24:14.759><c> school</c><00:24:15.059><c> stuff,</c><00:24:15.380><c> this.</c>

00:24:17.140 --> 00:24:20.480
But<00:24:17.460><c> it's</c><00:24:17.960><c> a</c><00:24:17.960><c> lovely</c><00:24:18.259><c> story</c><00:24:18.660><c> about</c><00:24:19.400><c> Elisha,</c><00:24:20.059><c> who</c><00:24:20.200><c> is</c><00:24:20.339><c> in</c><00:24:20.480><c> the</c>

00:24:21.900 --> 00:24:26.299
the<00:24:21.980><c> city</c><00:24:22.240><c> having</c><00:24:22.500><c> been</c><00:24:22.759><c> subject</c><00:24:23.440><c> to</c><00:24:24.539><c> siege</c><00:24:24.980><c> and</c><00:24:25.859><c> famine</c><00:24:26.079><c> for</c>

14<00:24:26.680><c> years.</c>

00:24:27.140 --> 00:24:31.440
So<00:24:27.440><c> severe</c><00:24:27.880><c> is</c><00:24:28.180><c> the</c><00:24:28.339><c> famine</c><00:24:28.619><c> that</c><00:24:28.980><c> they</c><00:24:29.160><c> have</c><00:24:29.440><c> resorted</c><00:24:29.960><c> to</c><00:24:30.299><c> cannibalism.</c>

00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:33.259
Terrible<00:24:32.960><c> thing.</c>

00:24:33.460 --> 00:24:38.039
I'm<00:24:33.619><c> not</c><00:24:33.759><c> sure</c><00:24:33.859><c> whether</c><00:24:34.140><c> any</c><00:24:34.359><c> of</c><00:24:34.500><c> you</c><00:24:34.819><c> have</c><00:24:35.119><c> ever</c><00:24:35.420><c> seen</c><00:24:36.160><c> famine</c><00:24:36.779><c> conditions,</c>

00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:51.799
Anyway,<00:24:45.380><c> Elisha</c><00:24:45.839><c> made</c><00:24:46.119><c> a</c><00:24:46.619><c> prophecy</c><00:24:47.140><c> in</c><00:24:51.000><c> the</c><00:24:51.160><c> gate</c><00:24:51.279><c> of</c><00:24:51.440><c> the</c><00:24:51.559><c> city,</c>

00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:12.220
It<00:25:10.859><c> doesn't</c><00:25:11.019><c> mean</c><00:25:11.220><c> to</c><00:25:11.339><c> say</c><00:25:11.460><c> the</c><00:25:11.559><c> king</c><00:25:11.759><c> was</c><00:25:12.000><c> tired,</c>

00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:26.460
He<00:25:25.200><c> must</c><00:25:25.400><c> be</c><00:25:25.619><c> correct</c><00:25:25.799><c> saying</c><00:25:26.059><c> this.</c>

If<00:25:30.559><c> God</c><00:25:30.839><c> winched</c><00:25:31.220><c> open</c><00:25:31.799><c> the</c><00:25:32.079><c> windows</c><00:25:32.460><c> of</c><00:25:32.700><c> heaven</c>

00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:36.380
and<00:25:33.880><c> dropped</c><00:25:34.119><c> down</c><00:25:34.519><c> bags</c><00:25:34.779><c> of</c><00:25:35.059><c> fine</c><00:25:35.299><c> flour</c><00:25:35.559><c> and</c><00:25:35.720><c> bags</c><00:25:35.920><c> of</c><00:25:36.180><c> barley.</c>

00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:38.319
Sounds<00:25:36.759><c> crazy,</c><00:25:37.220><c> but</c><00:25:37.539><c> so</c><00:25:37.700><c> does</c><00:25:37.799><c> your</c><00:25:38.039><c> prophecy,</c>

00:25:38.619 --> 00:25:39.920
and<00:25:38.720><c> God's</c><00:25:38.960><c> not</c><00:25:39.140><c> likely</c><00:25:39.380><c> to</c><00:25:39.579><c> do</c><00:25:39.720><c> that.</c>

00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:43.819
And<00:25:40.079><c> that's</c><00:25:40.339><c> the</c><00:25:40.420><c> only</c><00:25:40.700><c> way</c><00:25:41.359><c> your</c><00:25:41.980><c> prophecy</c><00:25:42.279><c> could</c><00:25:42.480><c> be</c><00:25:42.680><c> fulfilled.</c>

00:25:46.900 --> 00:25:50.839
Elijah<00:25:47.099><c> said,</c><00:25:47.599><c> Elijah,</c><00:25:48.279><c> sorry,</c><00:25:49.000><c> said,</c><00:25:49.640><c> Very</c><00:25:49.640><c> well.</c>

00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:54.339
Because<00:25:51.720><c> you</c><00:25:51.980><c> have</c><00:25:52.200><c> heard</c><00:25:52.420><c> the</c><00:25:52.619><c> promise</c><00:25:52.960><c> and</c><00:25:53.500><c> elected</c><00:25:53.900><c> not</c><00:25:54.140><c> to</c>

00:25:54.339 --> 00:25:54.839
believe<00:25:54.539><c> it,</c>

00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:57.940
you<00:25:55.019><c> will</c><00:25:55.299><c> see</c><00:25:55.539><c> it,</c><00:25:55.779><c> but</c><00:25:55.900><c> you</c><00:25:56.039><c> won't</c><00:25:56.180><c> benefit</c><00:25:56.500><c> from</c><00:25:56.700><c> it.</c>

00:25:58.400 --> 00:25:59.980
Outside<00:25:58.819><c> the</c><00:25:59.039><c> city,</c><00:25:59.220><c> as</c><00:25:59.440><c> you</c><00:25:59.640><c> will</c><00:25:59.819><c> know,</c>

00:26:00.059 --> 00:26:01.680
there<00:26:00.119><c> were</c><00:26:00.259><c> four</c><00:26:00.440><c> leprous</c><00:26:00.779><c> men</c><00:26:01.099><c> put</c><00:26:01.460><c> there</c>

00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:03.539
because<00:26:01.940><c> they</c><00:26:02.140><c> had</c><00:26:02.259><c> enough</c><00:26:02.400><c> problems</c><00:26:02.759><c> in</c><00:26:02.920><c> the</c><00:26:03.059><c> city</c><00:26:03.240><c> without</c>

00:26:03.539 --> 00:26:05.000
contracting<00:26:04.000><c> leprosy.</c>

00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:09.000
And<00:26:05.200><c> the</c><00:26:05.319><c> four</c><00:26:05.460><c> leprous</c><00:26:05.819><c> men</c><00:26:06.299><c> come</c><00:26:07.420><c> to</c><00:26:08.039><c> themselves</c><00:26:08.420><c> and</c><00:26:08.579><c> they</c><00:26:08.819><c> say,</c>

00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:14.420
you<00:26:09.000><c> know,</c><00:26:09.720><c> we're</c><00:26:09.779><c> not</c><00:26:10.519><c> using</c><00:26:10.819><c> our</c><00:26:12.240><c> heads</c><00:26:12.619><c> very</c><00:26:13.119><c> well</c><00:26:13.299><c> here.</c>

00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:17.099
Why<00:26:14.799><c> don't</c><00:26:15.059><c> we</c><00:26:15.279><c> starving</c><00:26:15.660><c> to</c><00:26:15.900><c> death</c><00:26:16.019><c> and</c><00:26:16.119><c> we</c><00:26:16.279><c> dying</c><00:26:16.420><c> of</c><00:26:16.559><c> leprosy?</c>

00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:19.700
Terminal<00:26:17.700><c> disease</c><00:26:18.059><c> that</c><00:26:18.240><c> they</c><00:26:18.480><c> had,</c><00:26:18.839><c> not</c><00:26:18.940><c> all</c><00:26:19.079><c> leprosy</c><00:26:19.480><c> was,</c>

00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:21.539
but<00:26:20.279><c> theirs</c><00:26:20.599><c> was.</c>

00:26:22.059 --> 00:26:24.420
Let's<00:26:22.460><c> fall</c><00:26:22.740><c> away</c><00:26:23.119><c> to</c><00:26:23.480><c> the</c><00:26:23.660><c> enemy.</c>

00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:26.519
It<00:26:24.680><c> might</c><00:26:24.980><c> be</c><00:26:25.200><c> they'll</c><00:26:25.460><c> kill</c><00:26:25.599><c> us,</c><00:26:25.740><c> but</c><00:26:25.799><c> they</c><00:26:25.980><c> might</c><00:26:26.180><c> feed</c><00:26:26.359><c> us</c>

00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:27.339
before<00:26:26.740><c> they</c><00:26:26.940><c> kill</c><00:26:27.079><c> us.</c>

00:26:27.420 --> 00:26:29.460
At<00:26:27.500><c> least</c><00:26:27.660><c> we</c><00:26:27.819><c> shall</c><00:26:27.940><c> die</c><00:26:28.099><c> with</c><00:26:28.259><c> our</c><00:26:28.380><c> bellies</c><00:26:28.660><c> full.</c>

00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:31.599
And<00:26:30.200><c> we're</c><00:26:30.460><c> going</c><00:26:30.460><c> to</c><00:26:30.599><c> die</c><00:26:30.700><c> anyway,</c><00:26:31.099><c> so</c><00:26:31.259><c> why</c><00:26:31.460><c> not?</c>

00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:33.940
So<00:26:31.900><c> they</c><00:26:32.000><c> go</c><00:26:32.160><c> to</c><00:26:32.299><c> the</c><00:26:32.480><c> first</c><00:26:32.720><c> tent</c><00:26:32.880><c> and</c><00:26:33.079><c> they...</c>

00:26:33.940 --> 00:26:35.779
How<00:26:34.200><c> would</c><00:26:34.259><c> you</c><00:26:34.380><c> knock</c><00:26:34.539><c> on</c><00:26:34.680><c> the</c><00:26:34.779><c> door</c><00:26:34.880><c> of</c><00:26:35.079><c> a</c><00:26:35.180><c> tent?</c><00:26:35.559><c> Any</c><00:26:35.559><c> idea</c>

00:26:35.779 --> 00:26:37.500
how<00:26:35.960><c> you...</c>

00:26:38.140 --> 00:26:40.759
That's<00:26:38.539><c> the</c><00:26:38.579><c> problem,</c><00:26:38.799><c> not</c><00:26:39.000><c> having</c><00:26:39.200><c> a</c><00:26:39.380><c> president</c><00:26:39.640><c> to</c><00:26:39.859><c> help</c><00:26:40.019><c> me.</c>

00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:42.200
I<00:26:41.079><c> suggest</c><00:26:41.460><c> the</c><00:26:41.720><c> president</c><00:26:42.000><c> sit...</c>

00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:45.000
Well,<00:26:42.440><c> of</c><00:26:42.559><c> course,</c><00:26:42.700><c> it's</c><00:26:42.819><c> too</c><00:26:43.059><c> late</c><00:26:43.180><c> now,</c><00:26:43.400><c> isn't</c><00:26:43.519><c> it?</c>

00:26:46.019 --> 00:26:48.279
Anyway,<00:26:46.420><c> they</c><00:26:46.740><c> made</c><00:26:46.960><c> themselves</c><00:26:47.380><c> known</c><00:26:47.579><c> outside</c><00:26:47.980><c> the</c><00:26:48.180><c> tent,</c>

00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:50.339
we'll<00:26:49.019><c> settle</c><00:26:49.240><c> for</c><00:26:49.400><c> that,</c><00:26:49.720><c> shall</c><00:26:49.740><c> we?</c>

00:26:50.460 --> 00:26:52.720
Perhaps<00:26:50.700><c> knocked</c><00:26:50.920><c> on</c><00:26:51.119><c> the</c><00:26:51.579><c> tent</c><00:26:51.839><c> pole.</c>

00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:55.160
But<00:26:53.180><c> there</c><00:26:53.279><c> was</c><00:26:53.400><c> nobody</c><00:26:53.619><c> in,</c><00:26:53.779><c> as</c><00:26:53.880><c> you</c><00:26:54.059><c> will</c><00:26:54.200><c> well</c><00:26:54.400><c> know.</c>

00:26:56.859 --> 00:27:00.160
And<00:26:57.259><c> they</c><00:26:57.660><c> go</c><00:26:57.859><c> inside</c><00:26:58.400><c> the</c><00:26:58.579><c> tent</c><00:26:58.920><c> and</c><00:26:59.420><c> they</c><00:26:59.599><c> have</c><00:26:59.740><c> a</c><00:26:59.839><c> whale</c><00:26:59.960><c> of</c>

00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:00.339
a<00:27:00.240><c> time.</c>

00:27:00.380 --> 00:27:01.880
They<00:27:00.460><c> have</c><00:27:00.599><c> a</c><00:27:00.759><c> party.</c>

00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:06.200
Drinking<00:27:02.880><c> and</c><00:27:03.039><c> eating</c><00:27:03.339><c> after</c><00:27:03.720><c> 14</c><00:27:04.299><c> years</c><00:27:04.680><c> of</c><00:27:05.180><c> famine</c><00:27:05.440><c> and</c><00:27:05.640><c> you're</c><00:27:05.799><c> a</c><00:27:05.920><c> leper.</c>

00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:10.099
Anyway,<00:27:06.940><c> it</c><00:27:06.940><c> was</c><00:27:07.200><c> a</c><00:27:07.339><c> great</c><00:27:07.500><c> thing</c><00:27:07.740><c> to</c><00:27:07.920><c> have</c><00:27:08.019><c> these</c><00:27:08.700><c> free</c><00:27:09.240><c> goodies.</c>

00:27:10.259 --> 00:27:12.220
And<00:27:10.279><c> they</c><00:27:10.480><c> go</c><00:27:10.700><c> into</c><00:27:10.859><c> the</c><00:27:11.019><c> next</c><00:27:11.220><c> tent,</c><00:27:11.440><c> open</c><00:27:11.660><c> it</c><00:27:11.839><c> up,</c><00:27:12.039><c> nobody</c>

there<00:27:12.559><c> either.</c>

00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:14.160
Have<00:27:13.039><c> another</c><00:27:13.279><c> party.</c>

00:27:14.180 --> 00:27:17.880
I<00:27:14.579><c> suppose</c><00:27:14.880><c> there's</c><00:27:15.099><c> a</c><00:27:15.180><c> limit</c><00:27:15.339><c> to</c><00:27:15.519><c> the</c><00:27:15.619><c> number</c><00:27:15.799><c> of</c><00:27:16.000><c> parties</c><00:27:16.200><c> you</c><00:27:16.359><c> can</c><00:27:16.579><c> have</c><00:27:16.779><c> in</c>

00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:19.359
this<00:27:18.319><c> time.</c>

00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:23.779
But<00:27:21.680><c> they</c><00:27:22.079><c> come</c><00:27:22.279><c> to</c><00:27:22.420><c> themselves</c><00:27:22.799><c> after</c><00:27:23.079><c> a</c><00:27:23.259><c> while</c><00:27:23.380><c> and</c><00:27:23.480><c> they</c><00:27:23.700><c> say,</c>

00:27:23.900 --> 00:27:28.420
our<00:27:23.960><c> brethren</c><00:27:24.220><c> in</c><00:27:24.400><c> the</c><00:27:24.539><c> city</c><00:27:24.700><c> are</c><00:27:24.960><c> starving</c><00:27:25.440><c> while</c><00:27:26.619><c> we</c><00:27:26.839><c> are</c><00:27:27.000><c> here</c><00:27:27.160><c> living</c><00:27:27.380><c> it</c><00:27:27.579><c> up.</c>

00:27:29.019 --> 00:27:29.799
Let's<00:27:29.279><c> go</c><00:27:29.460><c> and</c><00:27:29.599><c> tell</c><00:27:29.680><c> them.</c>

00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:32.740
So<00:27:30.000><c> they</c><00:27:30.079><c> go</c><00:27:30.240><c> to</c><00:27:30.480><c> the</c><00:27:31.420><c> wall</c><00:27:31.660><c> of</c><00:27:31.839><c> the</c><00:27:31.960><c> city</c><00:27:32.160><c> and</c><00:27:32.359><c> they</c><00:27:32.559><c> attract</c>

00:27:32.740 --> 00:27:33.359
the<00:27:32.940><c> watchmen's</c>

00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:35.420
It's<00:27:33.700><c> getting</c><00:27:33.700><c> dark</c><00:27:33.980><c> by</c><00:27:34.180><c> now,</c><00:27:34.339><c> it's</c><00:27:34.400><c> about</c><00:27:34.579><c> midnight.</c>

00:27:35.500 --> 00:27:38.839
And<00:27:35.500><c> they</c><00:27:37.400><c> attract</c><00:27:37.759><c> the</c><00:27:37.960><c> attention</c><00:27:38.180><c> of</c><00:27:38.319><c> the</c><00:27:38.440><c> watchmen</c><00:27:38.720><c> and</c>

00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:39.200
they<00:27:39.059><c> say,</c>

00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:40.740
you're<00:27:39.420><c> going</c><00:27:39.500><c> to</c><00:27:39.619><c> find</c><00:27:39.740><c> this</c><00:27:39.859><c> very</c><00:27:40.059><c> difficult</c><00:27:40.400><c> to</c><00:27:40.599><c> believe.</c>

00:27:40.980 --> 00:27:42.500
These<00:27:41.279><c> tents</c><00:27:41.440><c> are</c><00:27:41.619><c> empty.</c>

00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:44.420
Oh,<00:27:43.420><c> I've</c><00:27:43.519><c> heard</c><00:27:43.599><c> that</c><00:27:43.819><c> one</c><00:27:43.940><c> before.</c>

00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:46.579
I've<00:27:45.240><c> heard</c><00:27:45.380><c> that</c><00:27:45.579><c> one</c><00:27:45.740><c> before,</c><00:27:46.140><c> says</c><00:27:46.200><c> the</c><00:27:46.400><c> king.</c>

00:27:46.819 --> 00:27:48.440
They're<00:27:47.019><c> just</c><00:27:47.140><c> trying</c><00:27:47.359><c> to</c><00:27:47.539><c> winkle</c><00:27:47.740><c> us</c><00:27:47.880><c> out</c><00:27:48.059><c> of</c><00:27:48.160><c> the</c><00:27:48.299><c> city.</c>

00:27:48.740 --> 00:27:50.640
So<00:27:48.900><c> he</c><00:27:49.119><c> gets</c><00:27:49.279><c> some</c><00:27:49.519><c> volunteers</c><00:27:49.900><c> to</c><00:27:50.119><c> go</c><00:27:50.220><c> and</c><00:27:50.319><c> have</c><00:27:50.400><c> a</c><00:27:50.500><c> look.</c>

00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:53.680
The<00:27:51.359><c> Bible</c><00:27:51.619><c> is</c><00:27:51.880><c> silent</c><00:27:52.160><c> when</c><00:27:52.319><c> I'd</c><00:27:52.539><c> love</c><00:27:52.619><c> it</c><00:27:52.880><c> to</c><00:27:52.980><c> be</c><00:27:53.140><c> eloquent.</c>

00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:56.259
I'd<00:27:54.319><c> like</c><00:27:54.359><c> to</c><00:27:54.539><c> know</c><00:27:54.619><c> how</c><00:27:54.759><c> the</c><00:27:54.980><c> king</c><00:27:55.220><c> found</c><00:27:55.440><c> these</c><00:27:55.619><c> volunteers</c>

00:27:56.259 --> 00:27:58.480
to<00:27:56.980><c> go</c><00:27:57.119><c> and</c><00:27:57.220><c> have</c><00:27:57.319><c> a</c><00:27:57.400><c> look</c><00:27:57.480><c> in</c><00:27:57.640><c> the</c><00:27:57.779><c> tent.</c>

00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:00.640
I<00:27:59.519><c> would</c><00:27:59.720><c> just</c><00:27:59.900><c> like</c><00:28:00.079><c> to</c><00:28:00.240><c> know</c><00:28:00.380><c> that.</c>

00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:04.259
But<00:28:01.079><c> then</c><00:28:01.240><c> I</c><00:28:01.400><c> have</c><00:28:01.519><c> that</c><00:28:01.940><c> kind</c><00:28:02.160><c> of</c><00:28:02.359><c> mind</c><00:28:02.500><c> that</c><00:28:02.700><c> asks</c><00:28:02.960><c> a</c><00:28:02.960><c> silly</c><00:28:03.240><c> question.</c>

00:28:05.660 --> 00:28:08.220
But<00:28:05.740><c> they</c><00:28:05.839><c> go</c><00:28:05.960><c> and</c><00:28:06.099><c> they</c><00:28:06.240><c> find</c><00:28:06.380><c> all</c><00:28:06.579><c> the</c><00:28:06.779><c> tents</c><00:28:06.799><c> empty</c><00:28:07.140><c> and</c><00:28:07.480><c> they</c><00:28:07.740><c> bring</c><00:28:07.880><c> the</c><00:28:08.079><c> goods.</c>

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:11.200
They<00:28:08.660><c> ransack</c><00:28:09.059><c> the</c><00:28:09.220><c> tents</c><00:28:09.359><c> and</c><00:28:09.500><c> bring</c><00:28:09.680><c> it</c><00:28:09.819><c> all</c><00:28:09.920><c> into</c><00:28:10.119><c> the</c><00:28:10.279><c> city,</c><00:28:10.480><c> don't</c><00:28:10.599><c> they,</c><00:28:10.720><c> of</c><00:28:10.819><c> Samaria?</c>

00:28:11.339 --> 00:28:12.660
You<00:28:11.500><c> know</c><00:28:11.700><c> the</c><00:28:11.839><c> story.</c>

00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:14.619
The<00:28:12.920><c> second</c><00:28:13.160><c> book</c><00:28:13.319><c> of</c><00:28:13.460><c> Kings,</c><00:28:13.720><c> chapter</c><00:28:13.900><c> seven,</c><00:28:14.140><c> you</c><00:28:14.279><c> know</c><00:28:14.440><c> the</c>

story<00:28:14.819><c> well.</c>

00:28:16.259 --> 00:28:19.059
And<00:28:16.440><c> in</c><00:28:16.599><c> the</c><00:28:16.740><c> morning,</c><00:28:17.039><c> because</c><00:28:17.259><c> now</c><00:28:17.519><c> it's</c><00:28:18.299><c> very</c><00:28:18.740><c> late,</c>

00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:22.079
in<00:28:19.359><c> the</c><00:28:19.500><c> morning</c><00:28:19.740><c> the</c><00:28:19.980><c> sale</c><00:28:20.220><c> is</c><00:28:20.519><c> proclaimed</c><00:28:21.099><c> and</c><00:28:21.579><c> the</c><00:28:21.700><c> man</c><00:28:21.920><c> on</c>

00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:24.259

00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:26.019
can't<00:28:24.720><c> you</c><00:28:24.819><c> just</c><00:28:25.119><c> use</c><00:28:25.240><c> your</c><00:28:25.460><c> imagination?</c>

00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:27.299
There's<00:28:26.240><c> nothing</c><00:28:26.400><c> wrong</c><00:28:26.619><c> with</c><00:28:26.779><c> it,</c><00:28:27.000><c> is</c><00:28:27.000><c> there?</c>

00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:30.160
Provided<00:28:27.720><c> we</c><00:28:27.819><c> do</c><00:28:27.960><c> it</c><00:28:28.160><c> within</c><00:28:28.400><c> the</c><00:28:28.779><c> parameter</c><00:28:29.099><c> of</c><00:28:29.339><c> scripture.</c>

00:28:30.220 --> 00:28:33.200
The<00:28:30.700><c> man</c><00:28:31.000><c> on</c><00:28:31.160><c> whose</c><00:28:31.299><c> arm</c><00:28:31.480><c> the</c><00:28:31.619><c> king</c><00:28:31.720><c> leaned,</c><00:28:31.980><c> the</c><00:28:32.039><c> prime</c><00:28:32.200><c> minister,</c><00:28:32.960><c> now</c>

00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:33.960
takes<00:28:33.500><c> charge.</c>

00:28:34.259 --> 00:28:36.279
Right,<00:28:34.519><c> keep</c><00:28:34.519><c> a</c><00:28:34.680><c> nice</c><00:28:34.940><c> orderly</c><00:28:35.380><c> queue</c><00:28:35.579><c> we'll</c><00:28:35.819><c> have</c><00:28:35.980><c> here.</c>

00:28:36.700 --> 00:28:39.960
If<00:28:36.960><c> you've</c><00:28:37.140><c> ever</c><00:28:37.380><c> seen</c><00:28:37.619><c> people</c><00:28:38.000><c> who've</c><00:28:38.180><c> been</c><00:28:38.460><c> deprived</c><00:28:38.920><c> of</c><00:28:39.220><c> food</c><00:28:39.480><c> for</c><00:28:39.819><c> a</c>

00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:43.940
there<00:28:42.119><c> is</c><00:28:42.279><c> no</c><00:28:42.500><c> such</c><00:28:42.700><c> thing</c><00:28:42.940><c> as</c><00:28:43.099><c> an</c><00:28:43.299><c> orderly</c><00:28:43.720><c> queue.</c>

00:28:44.180 --> 00:28:45.279
We<00:28:44.339><c> have</c><00:28:44.539><c> difficulty.</c>

00:28:45.779 --> 00:28:48.059
Brother<00:28:46.160><c> Jim's...</c>

00:28:48.059 --> 00:28:50.240
Yeah,<00:28:48.940><c> he's</c><00:28:49.220><c> nodding.</c><00:28:49.460><c> He</c><00:28:49.599><c> knows</c><00:28:49.759><c> what</c><00:28:49.940><c> I</c><00:28:50.099><c> mean.</c>

00:28:50.619 --> 00:28:52.299
I<00:28:50.819><c> see</c><00:28:50.900><c> him</c><00:28:51.039><c> shaking</c><00:28:51.319><c> his</c><00:28:51.599><c> head</c><00:28:51.700><c> here</c><00:28:51.900><c> sometimes.</c>

00:28:52.380 --> 00:28:54.440
Keep<00:28:52.640><c> out</c><00:28:52.859><c> of</c><00:28:52.980><c> the</c><00:28:53.160><c> tables,</c><00:28:53.420><c> he</c><00:28:53.579><c> says.</c>

00:28:54.579 --> 00:28:56.559
Cafeteria<00:28:55.059><c> line</c><00:28:55.380><c> B.</c>

00:28:57.660 --> 00:28:59.279
And<00:28:58.099><c> the</c><00:28:58.279><c> poor</c><00:28:58.440><c> fellow...</c>

00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:01.099
That's<00:28:59.720><c> longer,</c><00:29:00.599><c> Jim.</c>

00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:05.680
So<00:29:02.640><c> these</c><00:29:02.880><c> people</c><00:29:03.200><c> in</c><00:29:03.359><c> Samaria</c><00:29:04.440><c> were</c><00:29:05.099><c> really</c><00:29:05.359><c> struggling,</c>

00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:06.099
weren't<00:29:05.960><c> they?</c>

00:29:06.099 --> 00:29:07.079
They<00:29:06.259><c> wouldn't</c><00:29:06.440><c> have</c><00:29:06.619><c> formed</c><00:29:06.759><c> a</c><00:29:06.960><c> queue.</c>

00:29:07.180 --> 00:29:09.359
It<00:29:07.319><c> was</c><00:29:07.319><c> arms</c><00:29:07.539><c> and</c><00:29:07.640><c> legs</c><00:29:07.920><c> and</c><00:29:08.140><c> feet</c><00:29:08.339><c> and</c><00:29:08.539><c> elbows.</c>

00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:13.599
And<00:29:10.579><c> the</c><00:29:10.660><c> poor</c><00:29:10.819><c> chap</c><00:29:11.099><c> got</c><00:29:11.500><c> trodden</c><00:29:11.839><c> to</c><00:29:12.019><c> death,</c><00:29:12.319><c> did</c><00:29:12.339><c> the</c><00:29:12.500><c> prime</c><00:29:12.680><c> minister.</c>

00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:16.400
Perhaps<00:29:14.000><c> that's</c><00:29:14.119><c> why</c><00:29:14.299><c> Jim</c><00:29:14.500><c> stands</c><00:29:14.759><c> up</c><00:29:15.000><c> here</c><00:29:15.119><c> to</c><00:29:15.220><c> call</c><00:29:15.440><c> the</c><00:29:15.599><c> numbers.</c>

00:29:20.220 --> 00:29:23.140
But<00:29:20.660><c> he</c><00:29:21.099><c> was</c><00:29:21.460><c> trodden</c><00:29:21.839><c> to</c><00:29:22.059><c> death.</c>

00:29:23.180 --> 00:29:26.779
Thus<00:29:23.660><c> the</c><00:29:23.900><c> prophecy</c><00:29:24.119><c> came</c><00:29:24.420><c> to</c><00:29:24.619><c> pass,</c><00:29:25.160><c> that</c><00:29:26.000><c> there</c><00:29:26.119><c> was</c><00:29:26.299><c> a</c><00:29:26.460><c> huge</c>

00:29:26.779 --> 00:29:27.500
sale<00:29:27.000><c> in</c><00:29:27.180><c> the</c><00:29:27.299><c> city,</c>

00:29:27.579 --> 00:29:31.200
but<00:29:27.680><c> the</c><00:29:27.819><c> man</c><00:29:28.299><c> who</c><00:29:29.140><c> heard</c><00:29:29.339><c> the</c><00:29:29.559><c> promise</c><00:29:29.900><c> and</c><00:29:30.480><c> elected</c><00:29:30.799><c> not</c><00:29:31.019><c> to</c>

00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:32.099
believe<00:29:31.440><c> it,</c>

00:29:32.140 --> 00:29:34.440
didn't<00:29:32.420><c> benefit</c><00:29:32.839><c> from</c><00:29:33.059><c> it.</c>
