00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:24.299

his<00:19:32.160><c> enemies,</c>

00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:34.380
because<00:19:32.920><c> God</c><00:19:33.200><c> was</c><00:19:33.400><c> going</c><00:19:33.559><c> to</c><00:19:33.759><c> protect</c><00:19:34.000><c> them.</c>

00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:51.119
Ahaz<00:19:48.319><c> was</c><00:19:48.519><c> being</c><00:19:48.880><c> told</c><00:19:49.380><c> that</c><00:19:49.599><c> those</c><00:19:49.980><c> that</c><00:19:50.279><c> remained</c><00:19:50.619><c> faithful</c>

00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:26.160
So<00:26:22.960><c> we</c><00:26:23.079><c> feel</c><00:26:23.339><c> these</c><00:26:23.579><c> names</c><00:26:23.859><c> tell</c><00:26:24.059><c> an</c><00:26:24.259><c> interesting</c><00:26:24.680><c> story</c><00:26:25.420><c> in</c>

00:26:39.420 --> 00:26:41.640
There<00:26:39.539><c> are</c><00:26:39.700><c> those</c><00:26:39.980><c> that</c><00:26:40.359><c> have</c><00:26:40.619><c> known</c><00:26:40.880><c> the</c><00:26:41.119><c> word,</c><00:26:41.359><c> have</c><00:26:41.440><c> been</c>

00:26:42.700 --> 00:26:46.259

00:26:55.599 --> 00:27:00.680
and<00:26:56.140><c> ultimately</c><00:26:56.660><c> be</c><00:26:58.039><c> recognizing</c><00:26:58.759><c> that</c><00:26:59.079><c> God</c><00:26:59.619><c> is</c><00:27:00.140><c> the</c><00:27:00.279><c> one</c><00:27:00.460><c> who</c>

00:27:06.539 --> 00:27:09.000
So<00:27:06.700><c> I</c><00:27:06.779><c> think</c><00:27:06.980><c> the</c><00:27:07.259><c> stage</c><00:27:07.480><c> has</c><00:27:07.660><c> been</c><00:27:07.940><c> set</c><00:27:08.160><c> by</c><00:27:08.359><c> looking</c><00:27:08.599><c> at</c><00:27:08.759><c> these</c>

00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:09.619
three<00:27:09.279><c> names</c>

00:27:09.619 --> 00:27:16.079
for<00:27:09.819><c> us</c><00:27:10.079><c> to</c><00:27:10.339><c> realize</c><00:27:10.880><c> that</c><00:27:11.519><c> this</c><00:27:11.819><c> is</c><00:27:12.279><c> a</c><00:27:12.480><c> prophecy</c><00:27:12.839><c> indeed</c><00:27:13.779><c> about</c><00:27:14.720><c> natural</c><00:27:15.339><c> and</c>

00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:16.980
spiritual<00:27:16.519><c> Israel.</c>

00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:19.700
They're<00:27:17.359><c> represented</c><00:27:17.859><c> then</c><00:27:18.200><c> by</c><00:27:18.740><c> these</c><00:27:19.059><c> three</c><00:27:19.279><c> individuals</c>

00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:24.819

00:27:24.819 --> 00:27:28.440
but<00:27:25.359><c> this</c><00:27:25.640><c> prophecy</c><00:27:26.000><c> also</c><00:27:26.500><c> deals</c><00:27:26.799><c> with</c><00:27:27.059><c> those</c><00:27:27.660><c> that</c><00:27:28.259><c> happen</c>

00:27:33.579 --> 00:27:37.279
We<00:27:33.759><c> believe</c><00:27:33.960><c> then</c><00:27:34.200><c> that</c><00:27:34.319><c> this</c><00:27:34.500><c> is</c><00:27:34.640><c> why</c><00:27:35.420><c> these</c><00:27:35.740><c> names</c><00:27:36.000><c> are</c><00:27:36.220><c> mentioned.</c>

00:27:39.900 --> 00:27:44.720
The<00:27:40.019><c> next</c><00:27:40.259><c> section</c><00:27:40.579><c> of</c><00:27:40.839><c> chapter</c><00:27:41.279><c> 36,</c><00:27:42.380><c> verses</c><00:27:42.680><c> 4</c><00:27:43.680><c> through</c><00:27:44.559><c> the</c>

20th<00:27:46.519><c> verse,</c>

00:27:48.539 --> 00:27:54.339
deal<00:27:49.059><c> with</c><00:27:49.299><c> these</c><00:27:49.640><c> words</c><00:27:50.059><c> that</c><00:27:50.339><c> Rab</c><00:27:50.599><c> Sheikah</c><00:27:51.519><c> has</c><00:27:52.039><c> with</c><00:27:52.299><c> Hezekiah's</c><00:27:53.019><c> representatives</c><00:27:53.500><c> up</c><00:27:54.180><c> on</c>

the<00:27:54.519><c> wall.</c>

00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:02.960
Here's<00:27:59.759><c> an</c><00:28:00.180><c> artist's</c><00:28:01.019><c> rendition</c><00:28:01.319><c> of</c><00:28:01.500><c> the</c><00:28:01.619><c> city</c><00:28:01.799><c> of</c><00:28:02.019><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:28:03.220 --> 00:28:04.960
It's<00:28:03.359><c> really</c><00:28:03.599><c> backwards</c><00:28:04.000><c> from</c><00:28:04.099><c> what</c><00:28:04.200><c> we</c><00:28:04.460><c> want,</c><00:28:04.579><c> but</c><00:28:04.700><c> I</c><00:28:04.779><c> think</c>

00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:06.240
it'll<00:28:05.220><c> suffice.</c>

00:28:06.779 --> 00:28:09.460
Probably<00:28:07.160><c> the</c><00:28:07.339><c> men</c><00:28:07.480><c> were</c><00:28:07.680><c> standing</c><00:28:07.940><c> up</c><00:28:08.119><c> on</c><00:28:08.259><c> the</c><00:28:08.460><c> wall,</c><00:28:09.099><c> up</c><00:28:09.319><c> on</c>

Rab<00:28:17.799><c> Sheikah</c><00:28:18.240><c> and</c><00:28:18.980><c> probably</c><00:28:19.359><c> the</c><00:28:19.539><c> other</c><00:28:19.680><c> two</c><00:28:19.920><c> generals,</c><00:28:20.240><c> maybe</c><00:28:20.440><c> some</c><00:28:20.660><c> others,</c>

They're<00:28:29.920><c> peering</c><00:28:30.180><c> down</c><00:28:30.559><c> then</c><00:28:30.700><c> on</c><00:28:30.779><c> this</c><00:28:30.940><c> Assyrian</c><00:28:31.359><c> leader.</c>

00:38:48.199 --> 00:38:51.460

00:38:52.659 --> 00:38:56.179
We<00:38:53.000><c> begin</c><00:38:53.340><c> to</c><00:38:53.619><c> question</c><00:38:53.960><c> sometimes</c><00:38:54.539><c> ourselves</c><00:38:55.139><c> when</c><00:38:55.340><c> the</c><00:38:55.539><c> wicked</c><00:38:55.699><c> seem</c><00:38:55.940><c> to</c>

00:39:02.340 --> 00:39:04.380

00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:11.219
The<00:39:08.619><c> same</c><00:39:08.800><c> would</c><00:39:08.960><c> have</c><00:39:09.059><c> been</c><00:39:09.199><c> true</c><00:39:09.360><c> with</c><00:39:09.599><c> these</c><00:39:09.860><c> Jews</c><00:39:10.039><c> on</c><00:39:10.239><c> the</c><00:39:10.440><c> wall.</c>

00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:15.039
They<00:39:12.099><c> would</c><00:39:12.360><c> realize</c><00:39:13.099><c> that,</c><00:39:13.719><c> well,</c><00:39:13.800><c> surely</c><00:39:14.119><c> this</c><00:39:14.460><c> Assyrian,</c>

00:39:15.179 --> 00:39:18.639

00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:21.480
as<00:39:18.900><c> they've</c><00:39:19.079><c> gone</c><00:39:19.260><c> through</c><00:39:19.519><c> the</c><00:39:19.719><c> lands</c><00:39:20.000><c> and</c><00:39:20.239><c> destroyed</c><00:39:20.500><c> people.</c>

00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:24.980
They<00:39:22.460><c> might</c><00:39:22.699><c> realize,</c><00:39:23.059><c> well,</c><00:39:23.579><c> God</c><00:39:23.820><c> must</c><00:39:24.059><c> be</c><00:39:24.260><c> behind</c><00:39:24.539><c> them.</c>

00:39:25.099 --> 00:39:26.940
He<00:39:25.280><c> must</c><00:39:25.480><c> be</c><00:39:25.679><c> blessing</c><00:39:25.940><c> them.</c>

00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:28.920
Perhaps<00:39:27.840><c> Rabsheik</c><00:39:28.320><c> is</c><00:39:28.539><c> right.</c>

00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:31.579
Perhaps<00:39:29.780><c> Yahweh</c><00:39:30.179><c> is</c><00:39:30.420><c> behind</c><00:39:30.760><c> him.</c>

00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:39.440
So<00:39:34.440><c> these</c><00:39:34.659><c> were</c><00:39:34.840><c> the</c><00:39:35.079><c> arguments</c><00:39:35.519><c> that</c><00:39:35.960><c> he</c><00:39:36.019><c> put</c><00:39:36.219><c> forth</c><00:39:36.960><c> to</c><00:39:39.019><c> those</c><00:39:39.280><c> that</c>

00:39:42.139 --> 00:39:47.760
