Yeah,<00:28:44.700><c> and</c><00:28:44.980><c> I</c><00:28:45.059><c> really</c><00:28:45.319><c> appreciate</c><00:28:45.680><c> it.</c>

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:48.420

Sometimes<00:28:46.400><c> when</c><00:28:47.099><c> someone's</c><00:28:47.480><c> out</c><00:28:47.640><c> front</c><00:28:47.779><c> like</c><00:28:48.000><c> you</c><00:28:48.220><c> are</c>

it<00:28:49.680><c> opens</c><00:28:49.960><c> up</c><00:28:50.200><c> so</c><00:28:50.299><c> many</c><00:28:50.460><c> verses</c><00:28:50.839><c> for</c><00:28:51.099><c> you.</c>

00:28:51.539 --> 00:28:53.960

So<00:28:51.819><c> when</c><00:28:52.460><c> thinking</c><00:28:52.799><c> of</c><00:28:53.059><c> Elijah,</c>

00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:57.019

first<00:28:54.579><c> starting</c><00:28:54.880><c> with</c><00:28:55.640><c> the</c><00:28:55.779><c> words</c><00:28:55.940><c> say</c><00:28:56.140><c> Abraham,</c>

00:29:00.019 --> 00:29:04.500
x
And<00:29:00.500><c> so</c><00:29:01.339><c> I'm</c><00:29:01.519><c> thinking</c><00:29:01.720><c> of</c><00:29:02.180><c> the</c><00:29:02.940><c> fire</c><00:29:03.240><c> in</c><00:29:03.400><c> the</c><00:29:03.619><c> water,</c>

00:29:04.859 --> 00:29:06.019

the<00:29:05.099><c> spirit</c><00:29:05.319><c> in</c><00:29:05.519><c> the</c><00:29:05.640><c> water,</c>

00:29:06.299 --> 00:29:09.380

and<00:29:06.500><c> of</c><00:29:06.619><c> course</c><00:29:07.059><c> the</c><00:29:08.160><c> evaporation</c><00:29:08.660><c> of</c><00:29:08.839><c> that</c><00:29:09.039><c> water.</c>

00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:12.140
x
And<00:29:09.640><c> the</c><00:29:09.740><c> next</c><00:29:09.920><c> thing</c><00:29:10.240><c> Elijah</c><00:29:10.680><c> sees</c><00:29:11.019><c> is</c><00:29:11.160><c> a</c><00:29:11.359><c> small</c><00:29:11.640><c> cloud</c>

00:29:12.140 --> 00:29:13.839

on<00:29:12.960><c> the</c><00:29:13.140><c> horizon</c><00:29:13.579><c> coming.</c>

00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:16.380
x
So<00:29:14.319><c> little</c><00:29:14.579><c> types</c><00:29:14.880><c> of</c><00:29:15.279><c> the</c><00:29:15.460><c> resurrection.</c>

00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:19.180
x
But<00:29:16.759><c> I'm</c><00:29:17.420><c> thinking</c><00:29:17.640><c> specifically</c><00:29:18.220><c> of</c><00:29:18.460><c> the</c><00:29:18.579><c> verse</c><00:29:18.819><c> that</c><00:29:19.019><c> connects</c>

or<00:29:21.960><c> the</c><00:29:22.240><c> spirit</c><00:29:22.519><c> in</c><00:29:22.700><c> the</c><00:29:22.900><c> water,</c><00:29:23.420><c> and</c><00:29:23.740><c> the</c><00:29:23.940><c> blood.</c>

00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:29.819
x
And<00:29:26.299><c> that's</c><00:29:26.839><c> the</c><00:29:27.000><c> difference</c><00:29:27.279><c> where</c><00:29:28.619><c> God</c><00:29:29.119><c> will</c><00:29:29.400><c> provide.</c>

00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:36.900

all<00:29:33.180><c> the</c><00:29:33.299><c> way</c><00:29:33.519><c> to</c><00:29:34.180><c> death</c><00:29:34.480><c> where</c><00:29:35.619><c> Elijah</c><00:29:36.140><c> is</c><00:29:36.339><c> kind</c><00:29:36.539><c> of</c><00:29:36.700><c> thinking</c>

that<00:29:37.440><c> that's</c><00:29:37.920><c> what's</c><00:29:39.119><c> his</c><00:29:39.460><c> ultimate</c><00:29:39.819><c> fate.</c>
