00:00:15.779 --> 00:00:16.820
Good<00:00:15.960><c> morning,</c><00:00:16.199><c> everyone.</c>

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:18.239
Good<00:00:17.379><c> morning.</c>

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:21.239
All<00:00:18.600><c> right,</c><00:00:18.780><c> so</c><00:00:19.100><c> first</c><00:00:19.339><c> of</c><00:00:19.539><c> all,</c><00:00:19.760><c> since</c><00:00:19.960><c> it</c><00:00:20.160><c> is</c><00:00:20.399><c> the</c><00:00:20.640><c> last</c><00:00:20.879><c> day,</c>

00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.199
I<00:00:21.420><c> think</c><00:00:21.539><c> it</c><00:00:21.679><c> is</c><00:00:21.839><c> appropriate</c><00:00:22.320><c> for</c><00:00:23.120><c> me</c><00:00:23.399><c> to</c><00:00:23.559><c> say</c><00:00:23.739><c> thank</c><00:00:24.019><c> you</c>

00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:26.300
for<00:00:24.420><c> having</c><00:00:24.600><c> me</c><00:00:24.859><c> and</c><00:00:24.980><c> thank</c><00:00:25.179><c> you</c><00:00:25.280><c> for</c><00:00:25.399><c> having</c><00:00:25.559><c> my</c><00:00:25.820><c> family,</c>

00:00:26.300 --> 00:00:29.859
particularly<00:00:26.960><c> because</c><00:00:27.859><c> I</c><00:00:29.039><c> have</c><00:00:29.239><c> been</c><00:00:29.480><c> told</c>

00:00:29.859 --> 00:00:33.659
that<00:00:30.300><c> I</c><00:00:30.500><c> was</c><00:00:30.739><c> notoriously</c><00:00:31.359><c> known</c><00:00:31.640><c> as</c><00:00:31.800><c> the</c><00:00:32.060><c> absolute</c><00:00:32.539><c> worst</c><00:00:33.140><c> student</c>

00:00:33.659 --> 00:00:34.920
at<00:00:34.000><c> Ida</c><00:00:34.219><c> Wild.</c>

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:38.579
And<00:00:36.520><c> I</c><00:00:37.000><c> was</c><00:00:37.259><c> also</c><00:00:37.600><c> told</c><00:00:37.799><c> that</c><00:00:38.000><c> my</c><00:00:38.240><c> nickname</c>

00:00:38.579 --> 00:00:42.039
by<00:00:38.899><c> my</c><00:00:39.240><c> teachers</c><00:00:39.600><c> at</c><00:00:39.780><c> Ida</c><00:00:40.000><c> Wild</c><00:00:40.140><c> was</c><00:00:40.439><c> the</c><00:00:40.759><c> spawn</c><00:00:40.979><c> of</c><00:00:41.320><c> Satan.</c>

00:00:43.899 --> 00:00:47.840
So<00:00:44.500><c> I</c><00:00:45.100><c> like</c><00:00:45.420><c> to</c><00:00:45.719><c> think</c><00:00:45.960><c> that</c><00:00:46.399><c> it's</c><00:00:46.759><c> appropriate</c><00:00:47.100><c> to</c><00:00:47.359><c> open</c><00:00:47.539><c> with</c><00:00:47.740><c> that</c>

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:49.280
when<00:00:47.960><c> we're</c><00:00:48.119><c> talking</c><00:00:48.320><c> about</c><00:00:48.520><c> Elijah,</c><00:00:48.899><c> because</c><00:00:49.100><c> it's</c>

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.899
good<00:00:49.439><c> to</c><00:00:49.740><c> remember</c><00:00:50.000><c> that</c><00:00:50.240><c> people</c><00:00:50.479><c> can</c><00:00:50.759><c> change.</c>

00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:55.340
So<00:00:53.700><c> there</c><00:00:54.079><c> you</c><00:00:54.299><c> go.</c>

00:00:56.460 --> 00:00:58.460
OK,<00:00:57.079><c> there's</c><00:00:57.399><c> also</c><00:00:57.659><c> a</c><00:00:57.759><c> couple</c><00:00:57.939><c> of</c><00:00:58.100><c> other</c><00:00:58.219><c> things</c>

00:00:58.460 --> 00:01:01.200
that<00:00:58.600><c> I</c><00:00:58.700><c> need</c><00:00:58.840><c> to</c><00:00:59.119><c> say</c><00:00:59.439><c> at</c><00:01:00.679><c> the</c><00:01:00.820><c> beginning,</c>

00:01:01.460 --> 00:01:04.200
and<00:01:01.679><c> that</c><00:01:01.859><c> is</c><00:01:02.219><c> I</c><00:01:02.539><c> made</c><00:01:02.740><c> two</c><00:01:02.979><c> mistakes</c><00:01:03.320><c> yesterday</c><00:01:03.859><c> in</c><00:01:04.019><c> things</c>

00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:04.739
that<00:01:04.359><c> I</c><00:01:04.540><c> said.</c>

00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:09.000
First<00:01:05.480><c> of</c><00:01:05.680><c> all,</c><00:01:06.400><c> I</c><00:01:06.640><c> said</c><00:01:06.980><c> that</c><00:01:07.180><c> when</c><00:01:07.480><c> Elijah</c><00:01:07.719><c> was</c><00:01:07.920><c> talking</c><00:01:08.140><c> to</c><00:01:08.340><c> Obadiah</c>

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:14.900
that<00:01:09.519><c> he</c><00:01:09.659><c> told</c><00:01:09.959><c> Obadiah</c><00:01:11.060><c> that,</c><00:01:12.159><c> oh,</c><00:01:12.719><c> well,</c><00:01:13.019><c> whatever,</c><00:01:13.959><c> you're</c><00:01:14.620><c> just</c>

00:01:14.900 --> 00:01:16.099
going<00:01:15.040><c> to</c><00:01:15.120><c> have</c><00:01:15.239><c> to</c><00:01:15.400><c> die</c><00:01:15.599><c> too</c><00:01:15.879><c> bad.</c>

00:01:16.299 --> 00:01:19.359
That's<00:01:16.540><c> not</c><00:01:16.760><c> actually</c><00:01:16.920><c> what</c><00:01:17.019><c> he</c><00:01:17.200><c> said,</c><00:01:17.620><c> and</c><00:01:17.840><c> I</c><00:01:18.420><c> misspoke</c><00:01:18.840><c> there.</c>

00:01:19.859 --> 00:01:23.560
Elijah<00:01:20.200><c> did</c><00:01:20.480><c> say</c><00:01:20.719><c> I</c><00:01:20.980><c> would</c><00:01:21.260><c> stay,</c><00:01:22.140><c> and</c><00:01:22.939><c> that</c><00:01:23.359><c> way</c><00:01:23.459><c> you</c>

00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:24.819
will<00:01:23.780><c> not</c><00:01:23.959><c> get</c><00:01:24.120><c> killed</c><00:01:24.340><c> by</c><00:01:24.599><c> Ahab.</c>

00:01:24.819 --> 00:01:26.980
So<00:01:25.180><c> that's</c><00:01:25.340><c> an</c><00:01:25.519><c> important</c><00:01:25.700><c> thing</c><00:01:25.900><c> to</c><00:01:26.040><c> note</c><00:01:26.159><c> there,</c><00:01:26.819><c> correct</c>

00:01:26.980 --> 00:01:27.959
the<00:01:27.200><c> record.</c>

00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.760
And<00:01:28.459><c> the</c><00:01:28.760><c> second</c><00:01:28.939><c> thing</c><00:01:29.120><c> is,</c><00:01:29.480><c> I</c><00:01:29.579><c> said</c><00:01:29.739><c> that</c><00:01:29.959><c> God</c><00:01:30.200><c> did</c><00:01:30.480><c> not</c>

00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.079
answer<00:01:31.140><c> Elijah's</c><00:01:31.760><c> prayer</c><00:01:32.000><c> on</c><00:01:32.280><c> Carmel.</c>

00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.739
And<00:01:33.760><c> I</c><00:01:34.099><c> think</c><00:01:34.260><c> it</c><00:01:34.420><c> kind</c><00:01:34.500><c> of</c><00:01:34.659><c> depends</c><00:01:34.859><c> on</c><00:01:35.000><c> how</c><00:01:35.140><c> you</c><00:01:35.359><c> define</c><00:01:35.760><c> answering.</c>

00:01:37.060 --> 00:01:39.340
I<00:01:37.219><c> said</c><00:01:37.359><c> that</c><00:01:37.579><c> before</c><00:01:37.859><c> because</c><00:01:38.099><c> somebody</c><00:01:38.420><c> asked</c><00:01:39.120><c> me,</c>

00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.379
well,<00:01:40.180><c> how</c><00:01:40.319><c> do</c><00:01:40.439><c> you</c><00:01:40.599><c> explain</c><00:01:40.799><c> God</c><00:01:41.060><c> answering</c><00:01:41.400><c> his</c><00:01:41.680><c> prayer</c><00:01:42.180><c> on</c><00:01:43.040><c> Carmel,</c>

00:01:43.420 --> 00:01:45.480
if<00:01:43.579><c> you</c><00:01:43.680><c> think</c><00:01:44.000><c> Elijah</c><00:01:44.340><c> made</c><00:01:44.540><c> mistakes</c><00:01:44.879><c> there?</c>

00:01:45.900 --> 00:01:47.439
And<00:01:46.079><c> so</c><00:01:46.180><c> my</c><00:01:46.280><c> answer</c><00:01:46.500><c> was,</c><00:01:46.700><c> well,</c><00:01:46.859><c> he</c><00:01:46.980><c> didn't.</c>

00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.840
But<00:01:48.340><c> I</c><00:01:49.939><c> don't</c><00:01:50.120><c> think</c><00:01:50.219><c> that's</c><00:01:50.500><c> the</c><00:01:50.599><c> right</c><00:01:50.799><c> way</c><00:01:51.099><c> to</c><00:01:51.400><c> describe</c><00:01:51.680><c> it.</c>

00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.000
I<00:01:51.939><c> think</c><00:01:52.079><c> it's</c><00:01:52.400><c> probably</c><00:01:52.760><c> better</c><00:01:53.079><c> to</c><00:01:53.379><c> say</c>

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:59.299
God<00:01:54.599><c> always</c><00:01:55.219><c> answers</c><00:01:55.700><c> prayers,</c><00:01:56.739><c> but</c><00:01:57.359><c> he</c><00:01:58.019><c> answers</c><00:01:58.420><c> them</c><00:01:58.760><c> in</c><00:01:59.040><c> ways</c>

00:01:59.299 --> 00:02:00.319
that<00:01:59.459><c> we</c><00:01:59.579><c> don't</c><00:01:59.859><c> expect.</c>

00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:05.620
And<00:02:00.540><c> in</c><00:02:00.659><c> this</c><00:02:00.879><c> case,</c><00:02:01.540><c> the</c><00:02:01.700><c> answer</c><00:02:01.939><c> to</c><00:02:02.180><c> Elijah</c><00:02:02.480><c> was</c><00:02:03.099><c> not</c><00:02:04.420><c> today,</c>

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:07.260
but<00:02:06.120><c> in</c><00:02:06.260><c> the</c><00:02:06.379><c> future.</c>

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.939
So<00:02:07.519><c> I</c><00:02:07.560><c> think</c><00:02:07.680><c> that's</c><00:02:07.900><c> an</c><00:02:08.139><c> important</c><00:02:08.340><c> thing</c><00:02:08.580><c> to</c><00:02:08.979><c> clarify.</c>

00:02:10.180 --> 00:02:11.979
All<00:02:10.319><c> right,</c><00:02:10.620><c> as</c><00:02:11.080><c> we</c><00:02:11.199><c> get</c><00:02:11.419><c> started</c><00:02:11.620><c> now,</c>

00:02:11.979 --> 00:02:16.159
we<00:02:12.219><c> are</c><00:02:12.340><c> going</c><00:02:12.460><c> to</c><00:02:12.659><c> see</c><00:02:12.979><c> everything</c><00:02:13.479><c> here</c><00:02:14.000><c> fall</c><00:02:14.639><c> apart</c><00:02:15.180><c> for</c><00:02:15.740><c> Elijah.</c>

00:02:16.259 --> 00:02:19.020
We're<00:02:16.400><c> in</c><00:02:16.560><c> class</c><00:02:16.780><c> number</c><00:02:17.020><c> six</c><00:02:17.580><c> on</c><00:02:17.840><c> The</c><00:02:18.060><c> Voice.</c>

00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.039
We<00:02:19.659><c> are</c><00:02:19.819><c> going</c><00:02:19.919><c> to</c><00:02:20.039><c> see</c><00:02:20.159><c> that</c><00:02:20.340><c> God</c><00:02:20.879><c> does</c><00:02:21.280><c> not</c><00:02:22.060><c> relent.</c>

00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:26.199
Here's<00:02:25.120><c> our</c><00:02:25.300><c> sections.</c>

00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.960
We'll<00:02:26.539><c> see</c><00:02:26.659><c> the</c><00:02:26.960><c> converted</c><00:02:27.159><c> nation,</c><00:02:28.180><c> converted</c><00:02:28.680><c> nation.</c>

00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:32.180
We're<00:02:30.659><c> going</c><00:02:30.740><c> to</c><00:02:30.860><c> see</c><00:02:31.020><c> Elijah</c><00:02:31.340><c> becoming</c><00:02:31.680><c> Moses.</c>

00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:34.939
And<00:02:32.400><c> then</c><00:02:32.520><c> we're</c><00:02:32.659><c> going</c><00:02:32.780><c> to</c><00:02:33.060><c> discuss</c><00:02:33.340><c> the</c><00:02:33.979><c> spirit</c><00:02:34.360><c> of</c><00:02:34.659><c> Elijah,</c>

00:02:34.979 --> 00:02:38.020
which<00:02:35.159><c> really</c><00:02:35.460><c> brings</c><00:02:35.699><c> us</c><00:02:36.099><c> to</c><00:02:36.819><c> the</c><00:02:37.000><c> end</c><00:02:37.120><c> of</c><00:02:37.259><c> his</c><00:02:37.419><c> life</c>

00:02:38.020 --> 00:02:42.340
and<00:02:38.759><c> what</c><00:02:39.939><c> he</c><00:02:40.080><c> will</c><00:02:40.219><c> do,</c><00:02:40.680><c> God</c><00:02:40.900><c> willing,</c><00:02:41.120><c> in</c><00:02:41.280><c> the</c><00:02:41.419><c> future.</c>

00:02:43.060 --> 00:02:44.460
God<00:02:43.300><c> does</c><00:02:43.479><c> not</c><00:02:43.639><c> relent.</c>

00:02:45.020 --> 00:02:46.800
And<00:02:45.300><c> I</c><00:02:45.319><c> think</c><00:02:45.419><c> this</c><00:02:45.580><c> is</c><00:02:45.719><c> really</c><00:02:45.919><c> important.</c>

00:02:46.729 --> 00:02:51.099
Some<00:02:46.979><c> of</c><00:02:47.139><c> you</c><00:02:47.219><c> may</c><00:02:47.379><c> have</c><00:02:47.500><c> felt</c><00:02:47.719><c> like</c><00:02:48.560><c> I've</c><00:02:48.960><c> been</c><00:02:49.020><c> a</c><00:02:49.080><c> little</c><00:02:49.259><c> harsh</c><00:02:49.879><c> on</c><00:02:50.319><c> Elijah.</c>

00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.539
And<00:02:53.300><c> I</c><00:02:53.800><c> think</c><00:02:53.960><c> there's</c><00:02:54.199><c> a</c><00:02:54.340><c> few</c><00:02:54.460><c> reasons</c><00:02:54.819><c> for</c><00:02:55.060><c> that.</c>

00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:01.300
Number<00:02:56.039><c> one</c><00:02:56.560><c> is</c><00:02:57.539><c> because</c><00:02:58.580><c> I</c><00:03:00.020><c> think</c><00:03:00.159><c> we</c><00:03:00.360><c> so</c><00:03:00.520><c> often</c><00:03:00.800><c> hold</c><00:03:01.020><c> him</c><00:03:01.159><c> up</c>

00:03:01.300 --> 00:03:02.599
as<00:03:01.479><c> that</c><00:03:01.699><c> superhero.</c>

00:03:02.780 --> 00:03:06.360
It's<00:03:03.060><c> important</c><00:03:03.419><c> to</c><00:03:03.659><c> be</c><00:03:03.780><c> very</c><00:03:04.159><c> clear</c><00:03:04.419><c> about</c><00:03:05.199><c> the</c><00:03:05.520><c> mistakes</c><00:03:05.740><c> that</c><00:03:05.919><c> do</c><00:03:06.060><c> happen</c>

00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:08.780
because<00:03:06.860><c> scripture</c><00:03:07.280><c> shows</c><00:03:07.520><c> this</c><00:03:07.680><c> to</c><00:03:07.879><c> us.</c>

00:03:08.900 --> 00:03:15.319
The<00:03:09.300><c> other</c><00:03:09.520><c> piece,</c><00:03:10.259><c> though,</c><00:03:10.960><c> is</c><00:03:12.139><c> I</c><00:03:14.080><c> think</c><00:03:14.259><c> when</c><00:03:14.400><c> we</c><00:03:14.680><c> recognize</c>

00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:16.860
how<00:03:16.240><c> God</c><00:03:16.460><c> works,</c>

00:03:16.860 --> 00:03:20.099
and<00:03:17.060><c> that's</c><00:03:17.639><c> what</c><00:03:17.840><c> this</c><00:03:18.240><c> core</c><00:03:18.419><c> message</c><00:03:18.699><c> is</c><00:03:18.840><c> all</c><00:03:19.020><c> about,</c>

00:03:20.219 --> 00:03:24.740
I'm<00:03:20.740><c> not</c><00:03:20.979><c> sure</c><00:03:21.479><c> it</c><00:03:22.000><c> actually</c><00:03:22.400><c> is</c><00:03:22.680><c> all</c><00:03:22.860><c> that</c><00:03:23.099><c> harsh</c><00:03:23.479><c> on</c><00:03:23.819><c> Elijah</c>

00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:32.520
because<00:03:28.719><c> God</c><00:03:29.520><c> isn't</c><00:03:29.759><c> necessarily</c><00:03:30.560><c> looking</c><00:03:31.099><c> at</c><00:03:31.400><c> the</c><00:03:31.639><c> sum</c><00:03:31.900><c> of</c>

00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:33.719
our<00:03:32.740><c> actions.</c>

00:03:34.259 --> 00:03:38.520
God<00:03:34.819><c> is</c><00:03:34.960><c> looking</c><00:03:35.120><c> at</c><00:03:35.259><c> who</c><00:03:35.419><c> we</c><00:03:35.620><c> are,</c><00:03:36.900><c> and</c><00:03:37.139><c> he</c><00:03:37.479><c> transforms</c><00:03:37.900><c> us</c>

00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.580
so<00:03:39.520><c> that</c><00:03:39.960><c> those</c><00:03:40.180><c> actions</c><00:03:40.599><c> do</c><00:03:41.099><c> slowly</c><00:03:41.479><c> become</c><00:03:41.939><c> what</c><00:03:42.219><c> he</c><00:03:42.379><c> wants</c>

00:03:42.580 --> 00:03:43.759
them<00:03:42.759><c> to</c><00:03:42.919><c> become.</c>

00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.500
And<00:03:44.699><c> that's</c><00:03:44.919><c> really</c><00:03:45.139><c> what</c><00:03:45.240><c> we're</c><00:03:45.439><c> going</c><00:03:45.580><c> to</c><00:03:45.740><c> see</c><00:03:45.900><c> today,</c>

00:03:46.979 --> 00:03:51.080
that<00:03:47.240><c> Elijah</c><00:03:47.680><c> had</c><00:03:48.099><c> that</c><00:03:48.460><c> base</c><00:03:48.900><c> character,</c><00:03:50.159><c> that</c><00:03:50.439><c> base</c><00:03:50.699><c> not</c><00:03:50.879><c> in</c>

00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:52.219
a<00:03:51.159><c> bad</c><00:03:51.319><c> way,</c>

00:03:52.780 --> 00:03:56.099
the<00:03:53.340><c> character</c><00:03:53.840><c> that</c><00:03:54.039><c> he</c><00:03:54.259><c> had</c><00:03:54.719><c> was</c><00:03:55.120><c> the</c><00:03:55.379><c> kind</c><00:03:55.539><c> of</c><00:03:55.819><c> character</c>

00:03:56.099 --> 00:03:58.340
that<00:03:56.379><c> God</c><00:03:56.580><c> looks</c><00:03:56.879><c> at</c><00:03:57.159><c> and</c><00:03:57.379><c> says,</c>

00:03:58.659 --> 00:04:01.139
I<00:03:59.180><c> can</c><00:03:59.379><c> work</c><00:03:59.680><c> with</c><00:03:59.900><c> that.</c>

00:04:01.219 --> 00:04:03.680
That<00:04:01.520><c> is</c><00:04:01.800><c> what</c><00:04:02.039><c> I</c><00:04:02.360><c> need</c><00:04:02.659><c> someone</c><00:04:02.960><c> to</c><00:04:03.219><c> be.</c>

00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:08.479
God<00:04:04.300><c> looks</c><00:04:04.520><c> for</c><00:04:04.780><c> someone</c><00:04:05.099><c> who</c><00:04:05.460><c> will</c><00:04:05.819><c> hold</c><00:04:06.159><c> him</c><00:04:06.860><c> tenaciously</c>

00:04:15.259 --> 00:04:17.540

00:04:17.540 --> 00:04:20.660
but<00:04:17.699><c> we're</c><00:04:17.939><c> going</c><00:04:18.000><c> to</c><00:04:18.139><c> do</c><00:04:18.360><c> something,</c><00:04:19.540><c> right?</c>

00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:22.240
This<00:04:21.040><c> is</c><00:04:21.240><c> what</c><00:04:21.420><c> God</c><00:04:21.639><c> looks</c><00:04:21.899><c> for.</c>

00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.939
And<00:04:22.519><c> he</c><00:04:22.620><c> says</c><00:04:22.959><c> he</c><00:04:23.199><c> can</c><00:04:23.360><c> work</c><00:04:23.560><c> with</c><00:04:23.779><c> that</c><00:04:24.120><c> because</c><00:04:24.339><c> he</c><00:04:24.519><c> can</c><00:04:24.699><c> take</c>

00:04:24.939 --> 00:04:26.600
your<00:04:25.139><c> something</c><00:04:25.579><c> that</c><00:04:25.779><c> you</c><00:04:25.939><c> do.</c>

00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.600
And<00:04:27.120><c> even</c><00:04:27.339><c> if</c><00:04:27.439><c> it's</c><00:04:27.660><c> not</c><00:04:27.860><c> right,</c><00:04:28.759><c> he</c><00:04:28.899><c> can</c><00:04:29.079><c> use</c><00:04:29.279><c> it.</c>

00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.060
So<00:04:30.899><c> that,</c><00:04:31.220><c> I</c><00:04:31.220><c> think,</c><00:04:31.379><c> is</c><00:04:31.560><c> the</c><00:04:31.779><c> key</c><00:04:32.040><c> piece</c><00:04:32.360><c> that</c><00:04:32.519><c> we</c><00:04:32.680><c> see</c><00:04:32.899><c> here</c>

00:04:33.060 --> 00:04:33.540
with<00:04:33.240><c> Elijah.</c>

00:04:33.699 --> 00:04:36.040
So<00:04:33.879><c> yes,</c><00:04:34.439><c> I</c><00:04:34.620><c> acknowledge</c><00:04:34.920><c> I</c><00:04:35.060><c> have</c><00:04:35.259><c> been</c><00:04:35.420><c> harsh</c><00:04:35.639><c> on</c><00:04:35.759><c> him,</c>

00:04:36.180 --> 00:04:38.480
but<00:04:36.319><c> I</c><00:04:36.480><c> think</c><00:04:36.600><c> it's</c><00:04:36.860><c> because</c><00:04:37.339><c> over</c><00:04:37.720><c> the</c><00:04:37.879><c> last</c><00:04:38.060><c> few</c><00:04:38.259><c> days,</c>

00:04:38.540 --> 00:04:40.939
what<00:04:38.680><c> we've</c><00:04:38.959><c> seen</c><00:04:39.300><c> is</c><00:04:39.620><c> he</c><00:04:39.740><c> is</c><00:04:40.019><c> slowly</c><00:04:40.379><c> changing.</c>

00:04:41.300 --> 00:04:45.199
And<00:04:41.439><c> today,</c><00:04:42.819><c> we're</c><00:04:43.000><c> going</c><00:04:43.100><c> to</c><00:04:43.319><c> see</c><00:04:43.959><c> the</c><00:04:44.459><c> final</c><00:04:44.740><c> change.</c>

00:04:45.459 --> 00:04:52.199
God<00:04:45.759><c> is</c><00:04:46.040><c> not</c><00:04:46.379><c> concerned</c><00:04:47.160><c> with</c><00:04:49.079><c> all</c><00:04:50.639><c> the</c><00:04:50.800><c> little</c><00:04:51.019><c> accomplishments</c><00:04:51.639><c> we</c><00:04:51.939><c> make,</c>

00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.160
the<00:04:52.480><c> things</c><00:04:52.639><c> that</c><00:04:52.860><c> seem</c><00:04:53.019><c> like</c><00:04:53.199><c> such</c><00:04:53.339><c> a</c><00:04:53.480><c> big</c><00:04:53.660><c> deal</c><00:04:53.860><c> to</c><00:04:54.079><c> us</c>

00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:00.180
because<00:04:56.360><c> he's</c><00:04:56.740><c> preparing</c><00:04:57.100><c> us</c><00:04:57.920><c> for</c><00:04:58.439><c> what's</c><00:04:58.680><c> to</c><00:04:58.819><c> come,</c><00:05:00.060><c> right?</c>

00:05:00.180 --> 00:05:01.579
It's<00:05:00.300><c> only</c><00:05:00.480><c> the</c><00:05:00.660><c> beginning.</c>

00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.000
And<00:05:02.300><c> that</c><00:05:02.439><c> is</c><00:05:02.620><c> the</c><00:05:02.699><c> way</c><00:05:02.860><c> that</c><00:05:03.079><c> God</c><00:05:03.279><c> sees</c><00:05:03.560><c> things.</c>

00:05:04.339 --> 00:05:09.560
He<00:05:04.639><c> sees</c><00:05:05.120><c> that</c><00:05:05.819><c> we,</c><00:05:06.860><c> every</c><00:05:07.079><c> day,</c><00:05:07.699><c> are</c><00:05:07.839><c> being</c><00:05:08.120><c> prepared</c><00:05:08.639><c> for</c><00:05:08.980><c> that</c><00:05:09.220><c> work</c><00:05:09.379><c> of</c>

00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:10.019
the<00:05:09.720><c> kingdom.</c>

00:05:10.379 --> 00:05:13.800
And<00:05:10.540><c> so</c><00:05:10.620><c> when</c><00:05:10.759><c> Elijah</c><00:05:11.100><c> prays,</c><00:05:12.439><c> turn</c><00:05:12.779><c> their</c><00:05:12.980><c> hearts</c><00:05:13.180><c> again,</c>

00:05:14.180 --> 00:05:16.620
God<00:05:14.420><c> says,</c><00:05:14.720><c> oh,</c><00:05:15.120><c> don't</c><00:05:15.220><c> worry,</c><00:05:15.399><c> I</c><00:05:15.600><c> will.</c>

00:05:16.899 --> 00:05:19.240
It's<00:05:17.139><c> going</c><00:05:17.180><c> to</c><00:05:17.279><c> be</c><00:05:17.420><c> in</c><00:05:17.620><c> thousands</c><00:05:18.000><c> of</c><00:05:18.240><c> years.</c>

00:05:19.660 --> 00:05:23.279
But<00:05:19.899><c> for</c><00:05:20.120><c> you,</c><00:05:22.040><c> it's</c><00:05:22.060><c> just</c><00:05:22.279><c> the</c><00:05:22.439><c> beginning.</c>

00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:26.920
So<00:05:24.959><c> why</c><00:05:25.139><c> did</c><00:05:25.339><c> Elijah</c><00:05:25.600><c> run</c><00:05:26.000><c> to</c><00:05:26.399><c> Mount</c><00:05:26.579><c> Horeb?</c>

00:05:27.220 --> 00:05:30.160
That's<00:05:27.519><c> our</c><00:05:28.079><c> question</c><00:05:28.480><c> here,</c><00:05:28.779><c> or</c><00:05:28.899><c> Mount</c><00:05:29.160><c> Sinai.</c>

00:05:30.939 --> 00:05:33.839
So<00:05:31.459><c> it</c><00:05:31.980><c> appears</c><00:05:32.339><c> like</c><00:05:32.579><c> the</c><00:05:32.680><c> nation</c><00:05:32.860><c> has</c><00:05:33.120><c> converted,</c><00:05:33.680><c> right?</c>

00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.819
Elijah<00:05:34.439><c> has</c><00:05:34.879><c> gone</c><00:05:35.100><c> through,</c><00:05:35.399><c> he</c><00:05:35.519><c> kills</c><00:05:35.740><c> all</c><00:05:35.939><c> the</c><00:05:36.120><c> prophets</c><00:05:36.319><c> of</c><00:05:36.540><c> Baal.</c>

00:05:36.939 --> 00:05:37.720
They're<00:05:37.360><c> gone.</c>

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.160
Doesn't<00:05:38.199><c> look</c><00:05:38.379><c> like</c><00:05:38.500><c> there's</c><00:05:38.639><c> going</c><00:05:38.759><c> to</c><00:05:38.839><c> be</c><00:05:38.939><c> any</c><00:05:39.079><c> more</c><00:05:39.279><c> problems.</c>

00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:44.579
So<00:05:40.920><c> he</c><00:05:41.439><c> goes</c><00:05:41.699><c> to</c><00:05:41.959><c> Ahab</c><00:05:42.220><c> in</c><00:05:42.379><c> 1</c><00:05:42.579><c> Kings</c><00:05:42.759><c> 18,</c><00:05:43.560><c> 41</c><00:05:43.939><c> to</c><00:05:44.079><c> 42,</c>

00:05:44.579 --> 00:05:49.459
and<00:05:45.100><c> he</c><00:05:45.279><c> says</c><00:05:45.480><c> to</c><00:05:45.699><c> Ahab,</c><00:05:47.240><c> go</c><00:05:47.500><c> and</c><00:05:47.879><c> eat</c><00:05:48.180><c> and</c><00:05:48.519><c> drink.</c>

00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:56.660
Now<00:05:50.240><c> just</c><00:05:50.660><c> think</c><00:05:50.819><c> about</c><00:05:51.040><c> that,</c><00:05:52.560><c> because</c><00:05:53.220><c> there</c><00:05:54.720><c> was</c><00:05:54.920><c> no</c><00:05:55.160><c> rain</c><00:05:55.339><c> yet,</c>

00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.879
and<00:05:57.560><c> yet</c><00:05:57.699><c> he's</c><00:05:58.019><c> telling</c><00:05:58.220><c> Ahab</c><00:05:58.600><c> to</c><00:05:58.899><c> eat</c><00:05:59.540><c> and</c><00:05:59.879><c> to</c><00:06:00.060><c> drink.</c>

00:06:00.939 --> 00:06:03.160
So<00:06:01.120><c> these</c><00:06:01.259><c> still</c><00:06:01.439><c> would</c><00:06:01.519><c> have</c><00:06:01.600><c> been</c><00:06:01.800><c> precious</c><00:06:02.079><c> resources,</c>

00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:07.040
and<00:06:03.259><c> yet</c><00:06:03.420><c> Elijah</c><00:06:03.660><c> believes</c><00:06:04.240><c> so</c><00:06:04.720><c> strongly,</c><00:06:05.759><c> here</c><00:06:05.819><c> comes</c><00:06:06.040><c> the</c><00:06:06.240><c> rain.</c>

00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:10.040
He<00:06:07.279><c> says</c><00:06:07.420><c> to</c><00:06:07.579><c> Ahab,</c><00:06:08.220><c> go</c><00:06:08.240><c> eat</c><00:06:08.399><c> and</c><00:06:08.560><c> drink,</c><00:06:08.899><c> it's</c><00:06:09.279><c> coming.</c>

00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.720
In<00:06:11.639><c> verses</c><00:06:11.860><c> 43</c><00:06:12.300><c> to</c><00:06:12.420><c> 44,</c><00:06:13.160><c> you</c><00:06:13.379><c> have</c><00:06:13.540><c> an</c><00:06:13.720><c> interesting</c><00:06:14.040><c> little</c><00:06:14.240><c> situation.</c>

00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.279
A<00:06:14.899><c> few</c><00:06:15.019><c> of</c><00:06:15.160><c> you</c><00:06:15.300><c> have</c><00:06:15.560><c> talked</c><00:06:15.800><c> to</c><00:06:15.899><c> me</c><00:06:15.980><c> about</c><00:06:16.160><c> this.</c>

00:06:17.860 --> 00:06:20.199
Elijah<00:06:18.300><c> goes</c><00:06:18.600><c> and</c><00:06:18.779><c> he</c><00:06:18.980><c> prays</c><00:06:19.139><c> for</c><00:06:19.300><c> the</c><00:06:19.459><c> rain.</c>

00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.399
How<00:06:21.279><c> many</c><00:06:21.459><c> times</c><00:06:21.740><c> does</c><00:06:21.879><c> he</c><00:06:22.000><c> have</c><00:06:22.100><c> to</c><00:06:22.279><c> pray?</c>

00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:27.540
Seven<00:06:26.600><c> times.</c>

00:06:28.060 --> 00:06:31.500
So<00:06:28.160><c> he</c><00:06:28.279><c> prays</c><00:06:28.600><c> seven</c><00:06:29.180><c> times</c><00:06:29.920><c> now</c><00:06:30.360><c> that</c><00:06:30.680><c> it</c><00:06:30.899><c> will</c><00:06:31.180><c> rain.</c>

00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.360
And<00:06:31.959><c> there's</c><00:06:32.420><c> a</c><00:06:32.540><c> few</c><00:06:32.639><c> different</c><00:06:32.879><c> possibilities</c><00:06:33.420><c> here</c><00:06:33.800><c> as</c><00:06:34.000><c> to</c><00:06:34.160><c> why,</c>

00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.480
or<00:06:34.779><c> maybe</c><00:06:35.019><c> I</c><00:06:35.220><c> just</c><00:06:35.399><c> didn't</c><00:06:35.519><c> even</c><00:06:35.800><c> find</c><00:06:36.079><c> one</c><00:06:36.279><c> of</c><00:06:36.360><c> them,</c>

00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:40.699
but<00:06:36.639><c> here's</c><00:06:37.600><c> some</c><00:06:37.860><c> of</c><00:06:37.980><c> the</c><00:06:38.079><c> thoughts</c><00:06:38.240><c> I</c><00:06:38.480><c> have</c><00:06:38.779><c> as</c><00:06:39.259><c> to</c><00:06:39.420><c> why,</c><00:06:39.879><c> perhaps,</c>

00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:42.319
Elijah<00:06:41.139><c> had</c><00:06:41.259><c> to</c><00:06:41.459><c> pray</c><00:06:41.560><c> the</c><00:06:41.740><c> seven</c><00:06:41.920><c> times.</c>

00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.279
First,<00:06:43.180><c> it's</c><00:06:43.620><c> almost</c><00:06:43.819><c> like</c><00:06:44.000><c> a</c><00:06:44.139><c> question</c><00:06:44.399><c> of,</c><00:06:44.959><c> do</c><00:06:45.000><c> you</c><00:06:45.040><c> really</c>

00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:45.839
want<00:06:45.500><c> this?</c>

00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.439
You<00:06:46.100><c> know,</c><00:06:46.639><c> you</c><00:06:47.060><c> prayed</c><00:06:47.420><c> for</c><00:06:47.660><c> the</c><00:06:47.779><c> drought</c><00:06:47.899><c> to</c><00:06:48.180><c> happen.</c>

00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.779
Prove<00:06:49.860><c> to</c><00:06:50.040><c> me</c><00:06:50.540><c> that</c><00:06:50.819><c> this</c><00:06:51.019><c> is</c><00:06:51.139><c> what</c><00:06:51.259><c> you</c><00:06:51.439><c> really</c><00:06:51.699><c> want.</c>

00:06:52.819 --> 00:06:54.920
One,<00:06:53.139><c> two,</c><00:06:53.519><c> three,</c><00:06:53.899><c> four,</c><00:06:54.160><c> five,</c><00:06:54.420><c> six,</c><00:06:54.639><c> seven.</c>

00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:57.920
And<00:06:55.220><c> you</c><00:06:55.439><c> sort</c><00:06:55.639><c> of</c><00:06:55.860><c> see</c><00:06:55.980><c> this,</c><00:06:56.240><c> by</c><00:06:56.439><c> the</c><00:06:56.540><c> way,</c><00:06:56.779><c> in</c><00:06:56.899><c> James's</c><00:06:57.439><c> commentary</c>

00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.519
in<00:06:58.379><c> James</c><00:06:58.639><c> chapter</c><00:06:58.879><c> five,</c><00:06:59.939><c> when</c><00:07:00.060><c> he</c><00:07:00.300><c> says,</c>

00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.339
the<00:07:00.839><c> effectual</c><00:07:01.519><c> fervent</c><00:07:01.959><c> prayer</c><00:07:02.379><c> of</c><00:07:02.779><c> a</c><00:07:02.920><c> righteous</c><00:07:03.139><c> man</c><00:07:03.379><c> avails</c><00:07:03.779><c> much.</c>

00:07:04.740 --> 00:07:07.360
He<00:07:04.939><c> refers</c><00:07:05.220><c> to</c><00:07:05.459><c> Elijah</c><00:07:06.199><c> praying</c><00:07:06.699><c> that</c><00:07:06.860><c> it</c><00:07:06.980><c> won't</c><00:07:07.120><c> rain</c>

00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:09.180
and<00:07:07.779><c> then</c><00:07:07.959><c> praying</c><00:07:08.079><c> that</c><00:07:08.199><c> it</c><00:07:08.319><c> will</c><00:07:08.439><c> rain.</c>

00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:10.980
If<00:07:09.740><c> you</c><00:07:09.800><c> look</c><00:07:09.920><c> at</c><00:07:10.019><c> that</c><00:07:10.180><c> in</c><00:07:10.759><c> the</c><00:07:10.800><c> Greek,</c>

00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:13.579
I<00:07:11.540><c> don't</c><00:07:11.660><c> know</c><00:07:11.720><c> if</c><00:07:11.779><c> you've</c><00:07:11.939><c> ever</c><00:07:12.100><c> noticed</c><00:07:12.399><c> that</c><00:07:13.139><c> it</c>

00:07:13.579 --> 00:07:15.519
sounds<00:07:14.220><c> sort</c><00:07:14.379><c> of</c><00:07:14.579><c> redundant.</c>

00:07:15.819 --> 00:07:18.459
The<00:07:16.040><c> effectual</c><00:07:16.579><c> fervent</c><00:07:16.959><c> prayer</c><00:07:17.240><c> of</c><00:07:17.420><c> a</c><00:07:17.500><c> righteous</c><00:07:17.740><c> man</c><00:07:17.980><c> avails</c><00:07:18.339><c> much.</c>

00:07:18.699 --> 00:07:22.019
That's<00:07:19.000><c> like</c><00:07:19.220><c> saying,</c><00:07:19.759><c> doing</c><00:07:20.319><c> good</c><00:07:20.620><c> things</c><00:07:20.860><c> is</c><00:07:21.079><c> doing</c><00:07:21.220><c> good</c><00:07:21.439><c> things.</c>

00:07:22.500 --> 00:07:23.980
You<00:07:22.600><c> know,</c><00:07:22.740><c> something</c><00:07:22.980><c> like</c><00:07:23.220><c> that.</c>

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:27.279
The<00:07:24.259><c> effective</c><00:07:24.839><c> work</c><00:07:25.079><c> you</c><00:07:25.279><c> do</c><00:07:25.379><c> is</c><00:07:25.620><c> effective,</c><00:07:26.459><c> right?</c>

00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:29.379
Like,<00:07:28.480><c> if</c><00:07:28.660><c> you</c><00:07:28.779><c> look</c><00:07:28.860><c> at</c><00:07:28.939><c> it</c><00:07:29.079><c> in</c><00:07:29.079><c> the</c><00:07:29.259><c> Greek,</c>

00:07:29.420 --> 00:07:30.660
it's<00:07:29.579><c> a</c><00:07:29.680><c> little</c><00:07:29.779><c> bit</c><00:07:29.959><c> different.</c>

00:07:31.339 --> 00:07:33.699
Your<00:07:31.560><c> verb</c><00:07:31.819><c> there</c><00:07:32.120><c> is</c><00:07:33.019><c> present</c><00:07:33.379><c> tense,</c>

00:07:33.740 --> 00:07:35.500
which<00:07:33.899><c> is</c><00:07:34.100><c> typically</c><00:07:34.439><c> continuous.</c>

00:07:36.019 --> 00:07:41.259
So<00:07:36.199><c> what</c><00:07:36.300><c> you</c><00:07:36.540><c> get</c><00:07:36.680><c> is</c><00:07:37.579><c> the</c><00:07:38.939><c> fervent</c><00:07:39.680><c> prayer,</c><00:07:40.379><c> there's</c><00:07:40.720><c> that</c><00:07:40.879><c> zeal,</c>

00:07:41.259 --> 00:07:44.319
the<00:07:41.759><c> fervent</c><00:07:42.160><c> prayer</c><00:07:42.459><c> of</c><00:07:42.660><c> a</c><00:07:42.740><c> righteous</c><00:07:43.040><c> man</c>

00:07:44.459 --> 00:07:48.139
is<00:07:44.759><c> highly</c><00:07:45.160><c> effective</c><00:07:46.060><c> as</c><00:07:46.839><c> it</c><00:07:46.959><c> is</c><00:07:47.240><c> working.</c>

00:07:48.379 --> 00:07:50.079
And<00:07:48.620><c> you'll</c><00:07:48.800><c> notice</c><00:07:48.920><c> that</c><00:07:49.060><c> a</c><00:07:49.060><c> lot</c><00:07:49.220><c> of</c><00:07:49.319><c> newer</c><00:07:49.439><c> translations</c>

00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:52.519
get<00:07:50.560><c> that</c><00:07:50.839><c> sense</c><00:07:51.240><c> of</c><00:07:51.600><c> that</c><00:07:51.920><c> continuous</c><00:07:52.199><c> idea,</c>

00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.879
as<00:07:52.800><c> it's</c><00:07:53.000><c> working</c><00:07:53.300><c> or</c><00:07:53.500><c> as</c><00:07:53.680><c> it's</c><00:07:53.899><c> being</c><00:07:54.100><c> prayed.</c>

00:07:54.980 --> 00:07:57.740
So<00:07:55.279><c> you</c><00:07:55.680><c> can</c><00:07:55.939><c> see</c><00:07:56.139><c> that</c><00:07:56.439><c> here's</c><00:07:56.839><c> this</c><00:07:57.040><c> idea</c><00:07:57.259><c> of</c><00:07:57.500><c> Elijah</c>

00:07:57.740 --> 00:08:02.300
having<00:07:57.980><c> to</c><00:07:58.300><c> pray</c><00:07:58.439><c> multiple</c><00:07:58.959><c> times</c><00:07:59.959><c> for</c><00:08:00.519><c> the</c><00:08:00.980><c> one</c><00:08:01.199><c> thing,</c>

00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:06.339
to<00:08:02.899><c> get</c><00:08:03.079><c> across</c><00:08:03.439><c> this</c><00:08:03.740><c> idea</c><00:08:04.199><c> that</c><00:08:04.860><c> here's</c><00:08:05.720><c> the</c><00:08:05.899><c> prayer</c><00:08:06.019><c> working,</c>

00:08:06.579 --> 00:08:09.600
here<00:08:06.720><c> is</c><00:08:06.959><c> me</c><00:08:07.180><c> showing</c><00:08:07.519><c> how</c><00:08:07.879><c> much</c><00:08:08.060><c> I</c><00:08:08.240><c> really</c><00:08:08.459><c> want</c><00:08:08.680><c> this.</c>

00:08:10.019 --> 00:08:11.860
So<00:08:10.500><c> that's</c><00:08:10.720><c> one</c><00:08:10.879><c> possibility.</c>

00:08:12.060 --> 00:08:16.720
One<00:08:12.259><c> possibility</c><00:08:12.740><c> as</c><00:08:13.040><c> to</c><00:08:13.459><c> why</c><00:08:13.920><c> he</c><00:08:14.060><c> had</c><00:08:14.300><c> to</c><00:08:14.519><c> pray</c><00:08:14.759><c> seven</c><00:08:15.600><c> times.</c>

00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:19.699
Okay,<00:08:17.519><c> the</c><00:08:17.720><c> other</c><00:08:18.060><c> could</c><00:08:18.319><c> just</c><00:08:18.600><c> be,</c>

00:08:19.779 --> 00:08:22.240
does<00:08:19.800><c> he</c><00:08:19.959><c> really</c><00:08:20.259><c> want</c><00:08:20.439><c> it</c><00:08:20.600><c> for</c><00:08:20.800><c> the</c><00:08:20.899><c> sake</c><00:08:21.019><c> of</c><00:08:21.139><c> the</c><00:08:21.300><c> people?</c>

00:08:22.379 --> 00:08:23.639
Does<00:08:22.519><c> he</c><00:08:22.680><c> really</c><00:08:23.040><c> want</c><00:08:23.279><c> them?</c>

00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:26.040
Does<00:08:23.980><c> he</c><00:08:24.139><c> really</c><00:08:24.459><c> believe</c><00:08:24.699><c> that</c><00:08:24.860><c> they've</c><00:08:25.120><c> changed?</c>

00:08:27.220 --> 00:08:29.939
So<00:08:27.699><c> finally</c><00:08:28.180><c> the</c><00:08:28.379><c> rain</c><00:08:28.519><c> comes,</c>

00:08:30.060 --> 00:08:32.519
Elijah<00:08:30.199><c> tells</c><00:08:30.439><c> Ahab,</c><00:08:31.240><c> get</c><00:08:31.259><c> in</c><00:08:31.360><c> your</c><00:08:31.540><c> chariot</c><00:08:31.779><c> and</c><00:08:31.980><c> go,</c>

00:08:32.779 --> 00:08:34.980
and<00:08:33.120><c> he</c><00:08:33.220><c> does</c><00:08:33.320><c> something</c><00:08:33.580><c> fascinating.</c>

00:08:36.139 --> 00:08:38.080
He<00:08:36.220><c> lifts</c><00:08:36.299><c> up</c><00:08:36.500><c> his</c><00:08:36.700><c> robe,</c><00:08:37.100><c> you</c><00:08:37.200><c> remember?</c>

00:08:38.139 --> 00:08:39.919
And<00:08:38.399><c> he</c><00:08:38.679><c> runs</c><00:08:38.960><c> in</c><00:08:39.240><c> front</c><00:08:39.340><c> of</c><00:08:39.460><c> the</c><00:08:39.639><c> chariot.</c>

00:08:39.940 --> 00:08:42.259
We<00:08:40.100><c> like</c><00:08:40.279><c> that</c><00:08:40.500><c> as</c><00:08:40.720><c> one</c><00:08:41.000><c> of</c><00:08:41.139><c> our</c><00:08:41.559><c> children's</c><00:08:42.059><c> stories.</c>

00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:44.679
He<00:08:42.659><c> runs</c><00:08:42.820><c> in</c><00:08:42.980><c> front</c><00:08:43.080><c> of</c><00:08:43.299><c> the</c><00:08:43.360><c> chariot.</c>

00:08:45.220 --> 00:08:48.720
Now,<00:08:46.460><c> what</c><00:08:46.639><c> I</c><00:08:46.759><c> think</c><00:08:46.879><c> we</c><00:08:47.039><c> might</c><00:08:47.220><c> miss</c><00:08:47.519><c> though,</c>

00:08:48.940 --> 00:08:51.899
is<00:08:49.120><c> that</c><00:08:49.360><c> running</c><00:08:49.740><c> in</c><00:08:50.159><c> front</c><00:08:50.320><c> of</c><00:08:50.539><c> someone's</c><00:08:51.039><c> chariot</c>

00:08:51.899 --> 00:08:54.919
often<00:08:52.500><c> meant</c><00:08:52.840><c> something</c><00:08:53.299><c> back</c><00:08:53.779><c> then.</c>

00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:59.460
Now,<00:08:56.679><c> we</c><00:08:57.200><c> tend</c><00:08:57.379><c> to</c><00:08:57.539><c> see</c><00:08:57.659><c> it</c><00:08:57.840><c> as</c><00:08:58.080><c> this</c><00:08:58.440><c> amazing</c><00:08:59.000><c> miracle,</c>

00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:01.220
and<00:08:59.720><c> it</c><00:09:00.019><c> probably</c><00:09:00.500><c> perhaps</c><00:09:00.940><c> was,</c>

00:09:01.220 --> 00:09:03.159
depending<00:09:01.539><c> on</c><00:09:01.740><c> how</c><00:09:02.019><c> fast</c><00:09:02.320><c> Ahab</c><00:09:02.559><c> was</c><00:09:02.820><c> driving.</c>

00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.559
We<00:09:03.840><c> don't</c><00:09:04.000><c> know</c><00:09:04.120><c> if</c><00:09:04.200><c> he</c><00:09:04.299><c> was</c><00:09:04.460><c> a</c><00:09:04.600><c> reckless</c><00:09:04.840><c> driver</c><00:09:05.179><c> or</c><00:09:05.379><c> not,</c>

00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.879
but<00:09:06.879><c> this</c><00:09:08.120><c> idea</c><00:09:08.419><c> of</c><00:09:08.539><c> running</c><00:09:08.820><c> in</c><00:09:08.960><c> front</c><00:09:09.139><c> of</c><00:09:09.460><c> a</c><00:09:09.600><c> chariot</c>

00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:11.759
is<00:09:10.120><c> actually</c><00:09:10.379><c> a</c><00:09:10.600><c> fairly</c><00:09:10.820><c> biblical</c><00:09:11.159><c> kind</c><00:09:11.419><c> of</c><00:09:11.559><c> thing.</c>

00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:15.820
Anybody<00:09:12.259><c> know</c><00:09:12.679><c> who</c><00:09:13.179><c> would</c><00:09:13.480><c> typically</c><00:09:13.919><c> run</c><00:09:14.340><c> in</c><00:09:14.559><c> front</c><00:09:14.720><c> of</c><00:09:14.899><c> chariots?</c>

00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:20.580
Don't<00:09:19.480><c> say</c><00:09:19.700><c> fast</c><00:09:20.039><c> people.</c>

00:09:21.059 --> 00:09:23.220
That's<00:09:21.220><c> not</c><00:09:21.399><c> the</c><00:09:22.299><c> answer.</c>

00:09:23.460 --> 00:09:27.100
The<00:09:23.700><c> answer</c><00:09:24.080><c> is</c><00:09:24.720><c> that</c><00:09:25.000><c> it</c><00:09:25.139><c> was</c><00:09:25.440><c> typically</c><00:09:25.879><c> the</c><00:09:26.220><c> servants.</c>

00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:28.720
So<00:09:27.820><c> I'll</c><00:09:28.019><c> show</c><00:09:28.059><c> that</c><00:09:28.259><c> to</c><00:09:28.440><c> you,</c>

00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.639
but<00:09:29.039><c> apparently</c><00:09:29.399><c> I</c><00:09:30.200><c> got</c><00:09:30.519><c> a</c><00:09:30.620><c> little</c><00:09:30.779><c> excited</c><00:09:31.139><c> here,</c>

00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:33.799
and<00:09:32.480><c> I</c><00:09:32.820><c> jumped</c><00:09:33.019><c> a</c><00:09:33.220><c> couple</c><00:09:33.399><c> of</c><00:09:33.600><c> slides.</c>

00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:35.419
So<00:09:34.320><c> let's</c><00:09:34.460><c> talk</c><00:09:34.639><c> about</c><00:09:34.820><c> this</c><00:09:34.980><c> one</c><00:09:35.100><c> first.</c>

00:09:35.419 --> 00:09:38.639
I<00:09:35.960><c> wanna</c><00:09:36.120><c> just</c><00:09:36.360><c> point</c><00:09:36.500><c> out</c><00:09:36.659><c> to</c><00:09:36.700><c> you</c><00:09:36.799><c> that</c><00:09:36.980><c> Ahab</c><00:09:37.139><c> goes</c><00:09:37.379><c> to</c><00:09:37.600><c> Jezreel,</c>

00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:40.299
which<00:09:39.000><c> is</c><00:09:39.200><c> not</c><00:09:39.360><c> the</c><00:09:39.519><c> capital.</c>

00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:42.259
So<00:09:41.620><c> keep</c><00:09:41.759><c> that</c><00:09:41.960><c> in</c><00:09:42.080><c> mind.</c>

00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.940
The<00:09:42.639><c> capital</c><00:09:42.879><c> is</c><00:09:43.080><c> Samaria,</c><00:09:43.740><c> 1</c><00:09:43.899><c> Kings</c><00:09:44.120><c> 16,</c><00:09:44.519><c> 29.</c>

00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:47.340
So<00:09:46.279><c> he</c><00:09:46.379><c> doesn't</c><00:09:46.620><c> go</c><00:09:46.799><c> to</c><00:09:46.899><c> the</c><00:09:47.059><c> capital,</c>

00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:48.799
which<00:09:47.519><c> is</c><00:09:47.620><c> where</c><00:09:47.740><c> you</c><00:09:47.860><c> would</c><00:09:48.039><c> expect</c><00:09:48.259><c> him</c><00:09:48.419><c> to</c><00:09:48.559><c> go,</c>

00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.659
and<00:09:49.080><c> where</c><00:09:49.259><c> he</c><00:09:49.519><c> generally</c><00:09:49.919><c> seems</c><00:09:50.220><c> to</c><00:09:50.440><c> be.</c>

00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:53.500
Instead,<00:09:51.980><c> he</c><00:09:52.039><c> goes</c><00:09:52.240><c> to</c><00:09:52.460><c> Jezreel,</c>

00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:55.899
and<00:09:53.919><c> that</c><00:09:54.120><c> appears</c><00:09:54.299><c> to</c><00:09:54.460><c> be</c><00:09:54.559><c> where</c><00:09:54.720><c> Jezebel</c><00:09:55.100><c> was.</c>

00:09:56.139 --> 00:09:59.139
So<00:09:56.379><c> it's</c><00:09:56.500><c> one</c><00:09:56.620><c> of</c><00:09:56.679><c> those</c><00:09:56.899><c> things</c><00:09:57.139><c> that</c><00:09:57.320><c> you</c><00:09:57.659><c> start</c><00:09:57.879><c> to</c><00:09:58.279><c> maybe</c><00:09:58.740><c> see</c>

00:09:59.139 --> 00:10:01.539
a<00:09:59.240><c> little</c><00:09:59.440><c> bit</c><00:09:59.580><c> of</c><00:09:59.720><c> where</c><00:09:59.899><c> Ahab's</c><00:10:00.440><c> mind</c><00:10:00.580><c> is</c><00:10:00.799><c> at.</c>

00:10:01.580 --> 00:10:03.779
We're<00:10:01.940><c> gonna</c><00:10:02.019><c> see</c><00:10:02.200><c> more</c><00:10:02.440><c> of</c><00:10:02.559><c> it</c><00:10:02.659><c> as</c><00:10:02.779><c> he</c><00:10:02.919><c> talks</c><00:10:03.159><c> to</c><00:10:03.360><c> Jezebel,</c>

00:10:03.779 --> 00:10:07.019
but<00:10:04.620><c> he's</c><00:10:04.860><c> not</c><00:10:05.059><c> going</c><00:10:05.279><c> back</c><00:10:05.600><c> to</c><00:10:05.720><c> the</c><00:10:05.879><c> capital</c><00:10:06.200><c> to</c><00:10:06.500><c> say,</c>

00:10:07.379 --> 00:10:08.379
let's<00:10:07.480><c> make</c><00:10:07.639><c> some</c><00:10:07.879><c> reforms.</c>

00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:11.039
He<00:10:09.039><c> goes</c><00:10:09.200><c> back</c><00:10:09.460><c> to</c><00:10:09.600><c> his</c><00:10:09.779><c> wife</c><00:10:10.019><c> to</c><00:10:10.299><c> say,</c>

00:10:11.179 --> 00:10:13.600
here's<00:10:11.659><c> all</c><00:10:11.759><c> the</c><00:10:11.899><c> bad</c><00:10:12.039><c> things</c><00:10:12.259><c> that</c><00:10:12.519><c> happened,</c><00:10:12.860><c> right?</c>

00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:15.080
So<00:10:14.539><c> that's</c><00:10:14.700><c> what's</c><00:10:14.840><c> happening.</c>

00:10:15.179 --> 00:10:17.940
He<00:10:15.379><c> goes</c><00:10:15.519><c> to</c><00:10:15.659><c> where</c><00:10:15.799><c> Jezebel</c><00:10:16.159><c> is</c><00:10:16.779><c> to</c><00:10:17.000><c> tell</c><00:10:17.200><c> her.</c>

00:10:18.620 --> 00:10:20.879
Now,<00:10:18.840><c> Elijah</c><00:10:19.200><c> is</c><00:10:19.600><c> running</c><00:10:19.840><c> as</c><00:10:20.139><c> well,</c>

00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:23.639
and<00:10:22.019><c> that's</c><00:10:22.240><c> because</c><00:10:22.440><c> it's</c><00:10:22.679><c> what</c><00:10:22.799><c> servants</c><00:10:23.100><c> did.</c>

00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.340
And<00:10:24.399><c> that</c><00:10:24.539><c> is</c><00:10:24.840><c> a</c><00:10:25.019><c> fascinating</c><00:10:25.539><c> piece</c><00:10:26.440><c> of</c><00:10:27.000><c> this</c><00:10:27.259><c> story.</c>

00:10:29.259 --> 00:10:31.080
Elijah,<00:10:30.360><c> all</c><00:10:30.559><c> of</c><00:10:30.759><c> a</c><00:10:30.779><c> sudden,</c>

00:10:31.379 --> 00:10:34.259
I<00:10:31.399><c> mean,</c><00:10:31.600><c> wasn't</c><00:10:31.779><c> this</c><00:10:31.940><c> what</c><00:10:32.019><c> he</c><00:10:32.379><c> condemned</c><00:10:32.840><c> Obadiah</c><00:10:33.500><c> for?</c>

00:10:34.409 --> 00:10:35.639
A<00:10:34.679><c> few</c><00:10:34.840><c> verses</c><00:10:35.159><c> prior?</c>

00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:37.480
He<00:10:36.159><c> condemns</c><00:10:36.580><c> Obadiah</c><00:10:36.980><c> for</c><00:10:37.220><c> it,</c>

00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:39.179
and<00:10:37.679><c> now</c><00:10:38.039><c> this</c><00:10:38.399><c> is</c><00:10:38.519><c> what</c><00:10:38.620><c> he's</c><00:10:38.899><c> doing.</c>

00:10:39.419 --> 00:10:40.620
Why<00:10:39.639><c> the</c><00:10:39.820><c> change?</c>

00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:42.919
Because<00:10:41.500><c> Elijah</c><00:10:41.840><c> is</c><00:10:42.100><c> convinced,</c>

00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:46.519
ah,<00:10:44.899><c> Ahab's</c><00:10:45.279><c> going</c><00:10:45.480><c> to</c><00:10:45.639><c> Jezreel</c>

00:10:47.019 --> 00:10:48.659
because<00:10:47.419><c> he's</c><00:10:47.659><c> going</c><00:10:47.740><c> to</c><00:10:47.860><c> talk</c><00:10:48.019><c> to</c><00:10:48.259><c> Jezebel.</c>

00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:50.100
We're<00:10:49.399><c> going</c><00:10:49.500><c> to</c><00:10:49.659><c> change</c><00:10:49.879><c> this.</c>

00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.230
I'm<00:10:50.419><c> going</c><00:10:50.500><c> to</c><00:10:50.700><c> convert</c><00:10:50.899><c> Jezebel</c><00:10:51.460><c> too,</c>

00:10:53.139 --> 00:10:55.000
and<00:10:53.679><c> everything's</c><00:10:54.220><c> going</c><00:10:54.279><c> to</c><00:10:54.360><c> be</c><00:10:54.559><c> fixed.</c>

00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:57.299
Finally,<00:10:56.080><c> what</c><00:10:56.200><c> he's</c><00:10:56.360><c> been</c><00:10:56.620><c> waiting</c><00:10:56.960><c> for,</c>

00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.279
for<00:10:57.639><c> years</c><00:10:58.100><c> and</c><00:10:58.539><c> years</c><00:10:59.000><c> and</c><00:10:59.320><c> years,</c>

00:11:00.299 --> 00:11:01.940
it's<00:11:00.539><c> all</c><00:11:00.659><c> come</c><00:11:00.799><c> together.</c>

00:11:03.779 --> 00:11:05.200
So<00:11:04.039><c> here's</c><00:11:04.200><c> some</c><00:11:04.379><c> verses</c><00:11:04.600><c> for</c><00:11:04.879><c> you</c>

00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:06.840
about<00:11:05.519><c> servants</c><00:11:05.899><c> running</c><00:11:06.159><c> before</c><00:11:06.460><c> chariots.</c>

00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.940
So<00:11:07.139><c> Elijah</c><00:11:07.360><c> is</c><00:11:07.539><c> very</c><00:11:07.700><c> much</c><00:11:08.179><c> presenting</c><00:11:08.600><c> himself</c><00:11:09.019><c> as</c><00:11:09.240><c> a</c><00:11:09.440><c> servant.</c>

00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:11.539
First<00:11:10.379><c> Samuel</c><00:11:10.639><c> 8,</c><00:11:10.940><c> 11.</c>

00:11:11.779 --> 00:11:14.059
This<00:11:11.860><c> is</c><00:11:12.039><c> where</c><00:11:12.179><c> Israel</c><00:11:12.539><c> asks</c><00:11:12.879><c> for</c><00:11:13.139><c> a</c><00:11:13.299><c> king.</c>

00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:17.700
God<00:11:14.600><c> says</c><00:11:14.860><c> that</c><00:11:15.100><c> the</c><00:11:15.240><c> king</c><00:11:15.879><c> will</c><00:11:16.299><c> take</c><00:11:16.899><c> your</c><00:11:17.240><c> children</c>

00:11:17.700 --> 00:11:20.059
to<00:11:18.179><c> run</c><00:11:18.399><c> before</c><00:11:18.820><c> his</c><00:11:19.120><c> chariots.</c>

00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:22.580
Second<00:11:21.000><c> Samuel</c><00:11:21.299><c> 15,</c><00:11:21.799><c> verse</c><00:11:21.960><c> 1.</c>

00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:24.899
Absalom<00:11:23.600><c> got</c><00:11:23.980><c> a</c><00:11:24.200><c> chariot</c><00:11:24.440><c> and</c><00:11:24.620><c> horses</c>

00:11:24.899 --> 00:11:27.100
and<00:11:25.159><c> 50</c><00:11:25.419><c> men</c><00:11:25.659><c> to</c><00:11:25.879><c> run</c><00:11:26.000><c> before</c><00:11:26.340><c> him.</c>

00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:28.320
First<00:11:27.500><c> Kings</c><00:11:27.659><c> 1,</c><00:11:27.860><c> verse</c><00:11:28.019><c> 5.</c>

00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:30.860
When<00:11:28.559><c> Adonijah</c><00:11:29.080><c> tries</c><00:11:29.360><c> to</c><00:11:29.580><c> take</c><00:11:29.720><c> the</c><00:11:30.019><c> throne,</c>

00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:32.120
he<00:11:30.980><c> says,</c><00:11:31.139><c> I</c><00:11:31.220><c> will</c><00:11:31.399><c> be</c><00:11:31.600><c> king.</c>

00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.539
He<00:11:32.700><c> prepared</c><00:11:33.100><c> for</c><00:11:33.259><c> himself</c><00:11:33.620><c> chariots</c><00:11:34.000><c> and</c><00:11:34.159><c> horsemen</c>

00:11:34.539 --> 00:11:37.700
and<00:11:34.980><c> 50</c><00:11:35.320><c> men</c><00:11:35.659><c> to</c><00:11:35.919><c> run</c><00:11:36.379><c> before</c><00:11:36.860><c> him.</c>

00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:44.019
So<00:11:38.220><c> this</c><00:11:39.000><c> would</c><00:11:39.159><c> have</c><00:11:39.419><c> been</c><00:11:39.700><c> a</c><00:11:40.139><c> highly</c><00:11:40.500><c> public</c><00:11:42.100><c> kind</c><00:11:42.960><c> of</c><00:11:43.120><c> spectacle.</c>

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:50.620
So<00:11:45.159><c> when</c><00:11:45.299><c> we</c><00:11:45.460><c> look</c><00:11:45.639><c> at</c><00:11:46.320><c> Elijah's</c><00:11:49.000><c> frame</c><00:11:49.360><c> of</c><00:11:49.679><c> mind</c>

00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:52.559
when<00:11:51.059><c> he</c><00:11:51.360><c> goes</c><00:11:51.600><c> down</c><00:11:51.820><c> to</c><00:11:51.940><c> Mount</c><00:11:52.100><c> Sinai,</c>

00:11:52.580 --> 00:11:54.620
I<00:11:53.080><c> think</c><00:11:53.220><c> this</c><00:11:53.379><c> is</c><00:11:53.500><c> an</c><00:11:53.720><c> important</c><00:11:53.899><c> piece</c><00:11:54.139><c> of</c><00:11:54.299><c> it.</c>

00:11:54.620 --> 00:11:59.299
He<00:11:55.039><c> has</c><00:11:55.379><c> stood</c><00:11:55.539><c> so</c><00:11:56.080><c> strong</c><00:11:56.360><c> against</c><00:11:56.720><c> Ahab</c><00:11:57.139><c> for</c><00:11:58.059><c> so</c><00:11:58.279><c> many</c><00:11:58.460><c> years,</c>

00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.539
and<00:11:59.919><c> now</c><00:12:00.440><c> he</c><00:12:01.120><c> runs</c><00:12:01.460><c> in</c><00:12:01.679><c> front</c><00:12:01.799><c> of</c><00:12:01.899><c> his</c><00:12:02.120><c> chariot.</c>

00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:04.460
Can<00:12:02.980><c> you</c><00:12:03.120><c> picture</c><00:12:03.360><c> the</c><00:12:03.580><c> people</c><00:12:03.820><c> seeing</c><00:12:04.080><c> that</c><00:12:04.279><c> saying,</c>

00:12:04.779 --> 00:12:06.080
hey,<00:12:04.840><c> that's</c><00:12:05.299><c> Elijah.</c>

00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:08.100
You<00:12:06.519><c> know,</c><00:12:06.840><c> he's</c><00:12:07.159><c> in</c><00:12:07.220><c> front</c><00:12:07.460><c> of</c><00:12:07.779><c> Ahab's</c><00:12:07.840><c> chariot.</c>

00:12:08.419 --> 00:12:10.259
He's<00:12:08.940><c> Ahab's</c><00:12:09.379><c> servant</c><00:12:09.620><c> now.</c>

00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:13.600
Like,<00:12:10.799><c> look,</c><00:12:11.299><c> the</c><00:12:11.740><c> king</c><00:12:12.120><c> and</c><00:12:12.419><c> the</c><00:12:12.679><c> queen</c><00:12:13.000><c> and</c><00:12:13.179><c> Elijah,</c>

00:12:13.740 --> 00:12:15.019
they've<00:12:13.779><c> all</c><00:12:13.899><c> come</c><00:12:14.080><c> together.</c>

00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:24.059
So<00:12:20.360><c> Elijah</c><00:12:20.879><c> thinks</c><00:12:21.639><c> that</c><00:12:21.940><c> Ahab</c><00:12:22.440><c> has</c><00:12:22.860><c> converted.</c>

00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.179
He<00:12:24.559><c> thinks</c><00:12:24.799><c> then</c><00:12:25.019><c> he's</c><00:12:25.179><c> going</c><00:12:25.320><c> to</c><00:12:25.480><c> take</c><00:12:25.620><c> part</c>

00:12:26.179 --> 00:12:27.360
in<00:12:26.460><c> Jezebel's</c><00:12:27.059><c> conversion.</c>

00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:30.580
However,<00:12:28.139><c> when</c><00:12:28.379><c> Ahab</c><00:12:28.580><c> begins</c><00:12:28.919><c> to</c><00:12:29.240><c> talk</c><00:12:29.480><c> in</c><00:12:29.659><c> 1</c><00:12:29.860><c> Kings</c><00:12:30.059><c> 19,</c>

00:12:30.740 --> 00:12:34.419
we<00:12:31.080><c> realize</c><00:12:31.419><c> it's</c><00:12:31.759><c> not</c><00:12:32.039><c> quite</c><00:12:32.639><c> what</c><00:12:32.940><c> Elijah</c><00:12:33.259><c> expected.</c>

00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:35.960
Notice<00:12:35.399><c> this.</c>

00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:38.580
Ahab<00:12:36.419><c> told</c><00:12:36.639><c> Jezebel</c><00:12:37.080><c> all</c><00:12:37.399><c> Elijah</c><00:12:37.700><c> had</c><00:12:37.960><c> done</c>

00:12:38.580 --> 00:12:41.200
and<00:12:39.080><c> how</c><00:12:39.360><c> he</c><00:12:39.539><c> had</c><00:12:39.820><c> killed</c><00:12:40.039><c> all</c><00:12:40.320><c> the</c><00:12:40.519><c> prophets</c><00:12:40.679><c> with</c><00:12:40.860><c> the</c><00:12:41.019><c> sword.</c>

00:12:41.340 --> 00:12:43.899
So<00:12:41.519><c> that's</c><00:12:42.220><c> the</c><00:12:42.379><c> summation</c><00:12:42.820><c> by</c><00:12:43.120><c> Ahab.</c>

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:45.919
Just<00:12:45.299><c> think</c><00:12:45.480><c> about</c><00:12:45.700><c> this.</c>

00:12:45.980 --> 00:12:48.840
There<00:12:46.139><c> are</c><00:12:46.340><c> a</c><00:12:46.419><c> lot</c><00:12:46.600><c> of</c><00:12:46.799><c> other</c><00:12:47.059><c> things</c><00:12:47.320><c> Ahab</c><00:12:47.620><c> could</c><00:12:47.799><c> have</c><00:12:48.000><c> said,</c><00:12:48.220><c> right?</c>

00:12:49.019 --> 00:12:54.279
Maybe<00:12:49.379><c> something</c><00:12:49.720><c> about</c><00:12:50.059><c> like</c><00:12:51.000><c> a</c><00:12:51.279><c> miracle,</c><00:12:53.100><c> fire.</c>

00:12:54.659 --> 00:12:57.139
Baal<00:12:54.940><c> didn't</c><00:12:55.279><c> do</c><00:12:55.720><c> anything.</c>

00:12:58.399 --> 00:12:59.980
Rain,<00:12:58.940><c> right?</c>

00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.759
Instead,<00:13:00.960><c> he</c><00:13:01.139><c> says</c><00:13:01.899><c> Elijah</c><00:13:02.539><c> did</c><00:13:02.700><c> a</c><00:13:02.860><c> bunch</c><00:13:02.980><c> of</c><00:13:03.139><c> things</c>

00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.190
and<00:13:04.600><c> the</c><00:13:04.919><c> craziest</c><00:13:05.200><c> thing</c><00:13:05.399><c> he</c><00:13:05.559><c> did</c><00:13:05.700><c> is</c><00:13:05.840><c> he</c><00:13:05.980><c> killed</c><00:13:06.080><c> all</c><00:13:06.259><c> the</c><00:13:06.419><c> prophets.</c>

00:13:09.220 --> 00:13:13.539
You<00:13:09.320><c> also</c><00:13:09.500><c> notice</c><00:13:10.179><c> that</c><00:13:10.899><c> he</c><00:13:11.179><c> completely</c><00:13:12.000><c> ignores</c>

00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:15.580
all<00:13:14.080><c> the</c><00:13:14.340><c> prophets</c><00:13:14.480><c> of</c><00:13:14.720><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:17.879
He<00:13:15.899><c> just</c><00:13:16.080><c> said</c><00:13:16.139><c> he</c><00:13:16.279><c> killed</c><00:13:16.480><c> all</c><00:13:16.840><c> the</c><00:13:17.019><c> prophets.</c>

00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.700
Now,<00:13:18.320><c> really,</c><00:13:18.679><c> he</c><00:13:18.960><c> only</c><00:13:19.200><c> killed</c><00:13:19.320><c> the</c><00:13:19.559><c> prophets</c><00:13:19.720><c> of</c><00:13:19.899><c> Baal.</c>

00:13:20.820 --> 00:13:24.259
But<00:13:21.200><c> in</c><00:13:21.539><c> Ahab's</c><00:13:21.940><c> mind,</c><00:13:22.779><c> what</c><00:13:23.039><c> you</c><00:13:23.480><c> get</c><00:13:23.700><c> here</c>

00:13:24.259 --> 00:13:28.159
is<00:13:24.759><c> there</c><00:13:25.059><c> was</c><00:13:25.539><c> absolutely</c><00:13:26.360><c> no</c><00:13:27.039><c> conversion.</c>

00:13:28.820 --> 00:13:31.940
He<00:13:29.039><c> saw</c><00:13:29.279><c> the</c><00:13:29.559><c> prophets</c><00:13:29.740><c> of</c><00:13:29.980><c> Baal</c><00:13:30.200><c> as</c><00:13:30.519><c> these</c><00:13:30.720><c> are</c><00:13:30.879><c> the</c><00:13:31.100><c> prophets.</c>

00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:34.299
He<00:13:32.740><c> goes</c><00:13:33.120><c> to</c><00:13:33.340><c> Jezebel</c><00:13:33.759><c> and</c><00:13:33.940><c> he</c><00:13:34.139><c> says,</c>

00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:36.200
let<00:13:34.500><c> me</c><00:13:34.600><c> tell</c><00:13:34.740><c> you</c><00:13:34.840><c> about</c><00:13:34.960><c> my</c><00:13:35.179><c> terrible</c><00:13:35.480><c> day.</c>

00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:39.059
The<00:13:37.639><c> miracle</c><00:13:37.820><c> didn't</c><00:13:37.980><c> do</c><00:13:38.159><c> anything.</c>

00:13:39.419 --> 00:13:41.519
He<00:13:39.559><c> doesn't</c><00:13:39.700><c> even</c><00:13:39.899><c> talk</c><00:13:40.120><c> about</c><00:13:40.340><c> it.</c>

00:13:42.500 --> 00:13:43.519
He<00:13:42.659><c> doesn't</c><00:13:42.779><c> talk</c><00:13:42.919><c> about</c><00:13:43.080><c> the</c><00:13:43.279><c> fire.</c>

00:13:43.740 --> 00:13:45.179
He<00:13:43.919><c> doesn't</c><00:13:44.080><c> talk</c><00:13:44.179><c> about</c><00:13:44.299><c> the</c><00:13:44.460><c> rain.</c>

00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.080
Instead,<00:13:46.919><c> it's</c><00:13:47.360><c> now</c><00:13:47.559><c> we</c><00:13:47.679><c> got</c><00:13:47.740><c> to</c><00:13:47.840><c> get</c><00:13:47.940><c> some</c><00:13:48.080><c> more</c><00:13:48.299><c> prophets.</c>

00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:50.679
Isn't<00:13:50.100><c> that</c><00:13:50.220><c> fascinating?</c>

00:13:51.179 --> 00:13:53.340
This<00:13:51.360><c> is</c><00:13:52.580><c> how</c><00:13:52.700><c> we</c><00:13:52.899><c> work.</c>

00:13:53.340 --> 00:13:55.620
You<00:13:53.879><c> know,</c><00:13:54.220><c> sometimes</c><00:13:54.940><c> we</c><00:13:55.120><c> say</c><00:13:55.259><c> things</c><00:13:55.440><c> like,</c>

00:13:55.700 --> 00:13:57.399
if<00:13:55.700><c> only</c><00:13:55.879><c> I</c><00:13:56.000><c> could</c><00:13:56.100><c> see</c><00:13:56.240><c> a</c><00:13:56.360><c> miracle.</c>

00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:00.200
But<00:13:58.519><c> that's</c><00:13:58.759><c> not</c><00:13:58.899><c> what</c><00:13:59.039><c> miracles</c><00:13:59.259><c> do,</c><00:14:00.059><c> right?</c>

00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:03.039
Biblically,<00:14:00.860><c> you</c><00:14:01.019><c> look</c><00:14:01.200><c> at</c><00:14:01.320><c> all</c><00:14:01.519><c> the</c><00:14:01.659><c> people</c><00:14:02.000><c> who</c><00:14:02.320><c> saw</c><00:14:02.500><c> miracles</c>

00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.120
and<00:14:03.399><c> then</c><00:14:03.639><c> turn</c><00:14:03.840><c> away,</c><00:14:05.039><c> right?</c>

00:14:05.460 --> 00:14:08.500
Miracles<00:14:05.960><c> are</c><00:14:06.539><c> not</c><00:14:07.080><c> what</c><00:14:07.440><c> create</c><00:14:07.740><c> belief.</c>

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:14.620
Miracles<00:14:10.519><c> confirm</c><00:14:11.039><c> the</c><00:14:12.019><c> belief</c><00:14:12.460><c> that</c><00:14:13.480><c> was</c><00:14:13.659><c> already</c><00:14:13.860><c> there.</c>

00:14:15.980 --> 00:14:17.700
They<00:14:16.500><c> confirm</c><00:14:16.740><c> the</c><00:14:16.940><c> word.</c>

00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:23.879
Now,<00:14:20.240><c> we</c><00:14:20.720><c> get</c><00:14:20.919><c> another</c><00:14:21.539><c> insight</c><00:14:22.080><c> into</c><00:14:22.559><c> Ahab's</c><00:14:23.220><c> mind.</c>

00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.100
In<00:14:24.539><c> fact,</c><00:14:24.840><c> based</c><00:14:25.139><c> on</c><00:14:25.320><c> what</c><00:14:25.519><c> Jezebel</c><00:14:25.960><c> says,</c>

00:14:27.139 --> 00:14:28.940
Jezebel<00:14:27.399><c> makes</c><00:14:27.620><c> a</c><00:14:27.860><c> vow</c><00:14:27.980><c> here.</c>

00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:31.299
So<00:14:29.080><c> may</c><00:14:29.220><c> the</c><00:14:29.460><c> gods</c><00:14:29.740><c> do</c><00:14:29.980><c> to</c><00:14:30.139><c> me</c><00:14:30.340><c> and</c><00:14:30.440><c> more</c><00:14:30.600><c> also,</c>

00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.600
if<00:14:31.799><c> I</c><00:14:32.360><c> do</c><00:14:32.559><c> not</c><00:14:32.740><c> make</c><00:14:32.940><c> your</c><00:14:33.279><c> life</c><00:14:33.519><c> as</c><00:14:34.639><c> the</c><00:14:34.840><c> life</c><00:14:35.080><c> of</c><00:14:35.240><c> one</c><00:14:35.379><c> of</c><00:14:35.519><c> them</c>

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:39.879

00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:42.159
So<00:14:40.200><c> he's</c><00:14:40.419><c> waiting</c><00:14:40.840><c> for</c><00:14:41.279><c> a</c><00:14:41.460><c> messenger</c><00:14:41.700><c> to</c><00:14:41.940><c> come</c>

00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:47.179
Because<00:14:46.399><c> he's</c><00:14:46.679><c> ready</c><00:14:46.960><c> to</c><00:14:47.179><c> come.</c>

00:14:47.179 --> 00:14:50.679
To<00:14:47.480><c> give</c><00:14:47.659><c> his</c><00:14:47.919><c> spiel</c><00:14:48.259><c> on</c><00:14:49.220><c> why</c><00:14:49.620><c> Baal</c><00:14:49.899><c> didn't</c><00:14:50.200><c> work,</c>

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:52.519
why<00:14:51.139><c> the</c><00:14:51.360><c> rain</c><00:14:51.500><c> had</c><00:14:51.720><c> come,</c><00:14:52.000><c> all</c><00:14:52.220><c> of</c><00:14:52.419><c> this.</c>

00:14:52.779 --> 00:14:54.120
He's<00:14:52.980><c> ready</c><00:14:53.139><c> to</c><00:14:53.279><c> bring</c><00:14:53.399><c> about</c><00:14:53.620><c> conversion.</c>

00:14:54.419 --> 00:14:56.759
The<00:14:54.620><c> messenger</c><00:14:54.899><c> comes</c><00:14:55.259><c> and</c><00:14:55.399><c> Elijah</c><00:14:55.659><c> says,</c><00:14:55.940><c> oh,</c><00:14:56.120><c> is</c><00:14:56.240><c> it</c><00:14:56.340><c> my</c><00:14:56.519><c> turn?</c>

00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:59.940
And<00:14:57.299><c> the</c><00:14:57.440><c> messenger</c><00:14:57.720><c> says,</c><00:14:58.000><c> you're</c><00:14:58.159><c> going</c><00:14:58.240><c> to</c><00:14:58.379><c> die,</c><00:14:59.179><c> right?</c>

00:15:00.500 --> 00:15:04.980
And<00:15:00.679><c> Elijah's</c><00:15:01.139><c> like,</c><00:15:03.080><c> well,</c><00:15:03.240><c> that</c><00:15:03.419><c> wasn't</c><00:15:03.600><c> what</c><00:15:03.779><c> I</c><00:15:03.879><c> was</c><00:15:04.059><c> expecting.</c>

00:15:05.659 --> 00:15:08.000
That's<00:15:06.139><c> not</c><00:15:06.320><c> how</c><00:15:06.440><c> it's</c><00:15:06.679><c> supposed</c><00:15:06.879><c> to</c><00:15:07.059><c> go.</c>

00:15:08.379 --> 00:15:10.419
Now,<00:15:08.679><c> we</c><00:15:08.960><c> get</c><00:15:09.080><c> that</c><00:15:09.340><c> sense</c><00:15:09.559><c> of</c><00:15:09.700><c> where</c><00:15:09.860><c> Ahab's</c><00:15:10.259><c> at</c>

00:15:10.419 --> 00:15:12.779
because<00:15:10.679><c> he's</c><00:15:10.980><c> standing</c><00:15:11.240><c> there</c><00:15:11.500><c> hearing</c><00:15:11.740><c> this</c><00:15:11.980><c> vow.</c>

00:15:13.659 --> 00:15:17.740
And<00:15:14.159><c> under</c><00:15:14.659><c> the</c><00:15:14.860><c> law</c><00:15:15.360><c> and</c><00:15:16.080><c> under</c><00:15:16.659><c> probably</c><00:15:17.039><c> a</c><00:15:17.299><c> number</c><00:15:17.519><c> of</c>

00:15:20.220 --> 00:15:23.080
the<00:15:20.720><c> husband</c><00:15:21.200><c> could</c><00:15:21.519><c> hear</c><00:15:21.700><c> his</c><00:15:21.960><c> wife</c><00:15:22.159><c> give</c><00:15:22.379><c> a</c><00:15:22.580><c> vow,</c>

00:15:25.179 --> 00:15:26.659
and<00:15:25.720><c> could</c><00:15:25.980><c> say,</c><00:15:26.259><c> you</c><00:15:26.419><c> know</c><00:15:26.559><c> what?</c>

00:15:26.700 --> 00:15:27.700
I'm<00:15:26.899><c> negating</c><00:15:27.240><c> that</c><00:15:27.480><c> vow.</c>

00:15:28.059 --> 00:15:29.919
Like,<00:15:28.240><c> I</c><00:15:28.299><c> don't</c><00:15:28.480><c> want</c><00:15:28.580><c> our</c><00:15:28.779><c> family</c><00:15:29.039><c> to</c><00:15:29.179><c> be</c><00:15:29.340><c> involved</c><00:15:29.580><c> in</c><00:15:29.779><c> that.</c>

00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:31.279
We're<00:15:30.059><c> not</c><00:15:30.340><c> going</c><00:15:30.639><c> to</c><00:15:30.759><c> do</c><00:15:30.919><c> it.</c>

00:15:31.500 --> 00:15:35.279
Ahab<00:15:31.759><c> says</c><00:15:32.440><c> nothing</c><00:15:33.179><c> because</c><00:15:33.820><c> this</c><00:15:34.019><c> is</c><00:15:34.139><c> where</c><00:15:34.259><c> he's</c><00:15:34.519><c> at.</c>

00:15:35.700 --> 00:15:36.559
No<00:15:35.960><c> conversion.</c>

00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:41.299
He<00:15:37.179><c> came</c><00:15:37.639><c> to</c><00:15:37.960><c> tell</c><00:15:38.240><c> Jezebel</c><00:15:38.799><c> because</c><00:15:39.580><c> Jezebel</c><00:15:40.080><c> was</c><00:15:40.320><c> the</c><00:15:40.519><c> doer,</c><00:15:41.159><c> right?</c>

00:15:41.299 --> 00:15:42.700
Ahab<00:15:41.559><c> was</c><00:15:41.740><c> the</c><00:15:41.879><c> whiner.</c>

00:15:42.779 --> 00:15:44.779
So<00:15:43.259><c> Jezebel</c><00:15:43.679><c> was</c><00:15:43.919><c> the</c><00:15:44.039><c> doer.</c>

00:15:45.899 --> 00:15:49.039
And<00:15:46.379><c> he</c><00:15:46.860><c> wanted</c><00:15:47.059><c> to</c><00:15:47.279><c> tell</c><00:15:47.379><c> her</c><00:15:47.700><c> so</c><00:15:47.980><c> that</c><00:15:48.080><c> something</c><00:15:48.279><c> could</c><00:15:48.500><c> happen.</c>

00:15:49.340 --> 00:15:50.659
And<00:15:49.500><c> it</c><00:15:49.659><c> would.</c>

00:15:51.980 --> 00:15:53.320
Ahab<00:15:52.120><c> was</c><00:15:52.279><c> not</c><00:15:52.460><c> converted.</c>

00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:55.220
Elijah<00:15:53.659><c> is</c><00:15:54.159><c> now</c><00:15:54.519><c> going</c><00:15:54.840><c> to</c><00:15:55.019><c> die.</c>

00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:57.940
And<00:15:55.600><c> so</c><00:15:55.679><c> you</c><00:15:55.759><c> can</c><00:15:56.039><c> sense</c><00:15:56.220><c> Elijah</c><00:15:56.620><c> trying</c><00:15:56.820><c> to</c><00:15:57.059><c> process</c><00:15:57.340><c> all</c><00:15:57.580><c> of</c><00:15:57.759><c> this.</c>

00:15:58.259 --> 00:16:00.460
We<00:15:58.419><c> talked</c><00:15:58.580><c> about</c><00:15:58.799><c> it</c><00:15:58.960><c> on</c><00:15:59.419><c> Tuesday.</c>

00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.259

00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.940
Why<00:16:04.500><c> is</c><00:16:04.720><c> there</c><00:16:04.960><c> rain</c><00:16:05.360><c> if</c><00:16:06.399><c> Ahab</c><00:16:06.740><c> didn't</c><00:16:07.059><c> convert?</c>

00:16:07.980 --> 00:16:10.279
Does<00:16:08.100><c> this</c><00:16:08.320><c> mean</c><00:16:08.460><c> the</c><00:16:08.720><c> people</c><00:16:08.960><c> didn't</c><00:16:09.299><c> convert?</c>

00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:12.139
What<00:16:10.879><c> is</c><00:16:11.360><c> going</c><00:16:11.620><c> on</c><00:16:11.840><c> here?</c>

00:16:12.419 --> 00:16:16.759

00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:22.019
because<00:16:20.980><c> of</c><00:16:21.120><c> what</c><00:16:21.259><c> I</c><00:16:21.419><c> asked</c><00:16:21.620><c> for?</c>

00:16:22.340 --> 00:16:26.179
You<00:16:22.539><c> can</c><00:16:22.860><c> see</c><00:16:23.080><c> him</c><00:16:23.740><c> struggling</c><00:16:24.419><c> to</c><00:16:24.679><c> put</c><00:16:24.840><c> this</c><00:16:25.039><c> together.</c>

00:16:26.299 --> 00:16:28.059
And<00:16:26.379><c> maybe</c><00:16:26.820><c> you</c><00:16:27.000><c> have</c><00:16:27.159><c> these</c><00:16:27.399><c> kind</c><00:16:27.519><c> of</c><00:16:27.679><c> moments,</c>

00:16:31.779 --> 00:16:33.820
You<00:16:31.860><c> can't</c><00:16:32.419><c> make</c><00:16:32.679><c> sense</c><00:16:32.960><c> out</c><00:16:33.080><c> of</c><00:16:33.120><c> what's</c><00:16:33.360><c> in</c><00:16:33.460><c> front</c><00:16:33.580><c> of</c><00:16:33.720><c> you.</c>

00:16:34.139 --> 00:16:36.399
Like,<00:16:34.419><c> you</c><00:16:34.659><c> felt</c><00:16:34.899><c> like</c><00:16:35.139><c> it</c><00:16:35.299><c> made</c><00:16:35.480><c> sense</c><00:16:35.720><c> at</c><00:16:35.879><c> one</c><00:16:36.080><c> point,</c>

00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:42.200
And<00:16:39.659><c> you're</c><00:16:39.940><c> trying</c><00:16:40.379><c> to</c><00:16:40.659><c> fit</c><00:16:40.799><c> all</c><00:16:41.039><c> the</c><00:16:41.220><c> pieces</c><00:16:41.419><c> you</c><00:16:41.700><c> have</c>

00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:45.320
into<00:16:42.559><c> the</c><00:16:43.139><c> view</c><00:16:43.320><c> that</c><00:16:43.460><c> you</c><00:16:43.580><c> have</c><00:16:43.720><c> of</c><00:16:43.820><c> the</c><00:16:43.980><c> world</c><00:16:44.120><c> and</c><00:16:44.200><c> it</c><00:16:44.399><c> doesn't</c><00:16:44.600><c> work.</c>

00:16:46.259 --> 00:16:48.460
And<00:16:46.379><c> so</c><00:16:46.519><c> sometimes</c><00:16:46.820><c> in</c><00:16:46.980><c> those</c><00:16:47.159><c> desperate</c><00:16:47.879><c> situations,</c>

00:16:48.460 --> 00:16:50.320
you<00:16:48.639><c> try</c><00:16:48.779><c> to</c><00:16:48.960><c> grab</c><00:16:49.179><c> on</c><00:16:49.379><c> to</c><00:16:49.580><c> anything</c><00:16:49.779><c> you</c><00:16:50.039><c> can,</c>

00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:52.919
anything<00:16:50.960><c> that</c><00:16:51.220><c> does</c><00:16:51.580><c> make</c><00:16:51.840><c> sense.</c>

00:16:53.220 --> 00:16:57.039
And<00:16:53.460><c> I</c><00:16:53.500><c> think</c><00:16:53.639><c> that's</c><00:16:53.860><c> what</c><00:16:53.980><c> we</c><00:16:54.240><c> see</c><00:16:54.960><c> Elijah</c><00:16:55.500><c> doing.</c>

00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:01.740
Not<00:16:57.519><c> only</c><00:16:57.720><c> that,</c><00:16:59.379><c> I</c><00:16:59.659><c> would</c><00:16:59.860><c> suggest</c><00:17:00.139><c> there</c><00:17:00.259><c> was</c><00:17:00.460><c> probably</c><00:17:00.639><c> some</c><00:17:00.919><c> guilt</c><00:17:01.240><c> too</c>

00:17:01.740 --> 00:17:03.740
about<00:17:02.179><c> running</c><00:17:02.559><c> in</c><00:17:02.740><c> front</c><00:17:02.840><c> of</c><00:17:03.000><c> Ahab's</c><00:17:03.399><c> chariot.</c>

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:05.160
You<00:17:04.319><c> know</c><00:17:04.440><c> what?</c>

00:17:05.579 --> 00:17:06.640
How<00:17:05.799><c> could</c><00:17:05.920><c> I</c><00:17:06.039><c> have</c><00:17:06.160><c> done</c><00:17:06.259><c> that?</c>

00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:11.319
How<00:17:07.019><c> could</c><00:17:07.220><c> I</c><00:17:07.359><c> have</c><00:17:07.640><c> so</c><00:17:08.319><c> misunderstood</c><00:17:09.039><c> him</c><00:17:09.700><c> and</c><00:17:09.980><c> what</c><00:17:10.140><c> he</c><00:17:10.279><c> was</c><00:17:10.460><c> thinking?</c>

00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:16.079
So<00:17:13.660><c> 1</c><00:17:13.819><c> Kings</c><00:17:14.000><c> 19</c><00:17:14.400><c>.3,</c><00:17:14.619><c> he</c><00:17:14.720><c> doesn't</c><00:17:14.920><c> know</c><00:17:15.019><c> what</c><00:17:15.160><c> to</c><00:17:15.319><c> do.</c>

00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:19.819
So<00:17:16.599><c> he</c><00:17:16.779><c> runs</c><00:17:17.359><c> 90</c><00:17:18.099><c> miles</c><00:17:18.660><c> to</c><00:17:18.880><c> Beersheba.</c>

00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:24.339
That's<00:17:21.240><c> a</c><00:17:21.599><c> big</c><00:17:21.799><c> run,</c><00:17:22.539><c> even</c><00:17:22.980><c> from</c><00:17:23.259><c> my</c><00:17:23.440><c> brother</c><00:17:23.619><c>-in</c><00:17:23.799><c>-law.</c>

00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:30.220
So<00:17:24.940><c> he</c><00:17:24.940><c> goes</c><00:17:25.359><c> 90</c><00:17:25.880><c> miles</c><00:17:26.180><c> to</c><00:17:26.339><c> Beersheba</c><00:17:26.980><c> and</c><00:17:27.799><c> he</c><00:17:27.940><c> goes</c><00:17:28.539><c> into</c><00:17:29.140><c> the</c><00:17:29.299><c> wilderness.</c>

00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:31.880
He<00:17:31.160><c> doesn't</c><00:17:31.299><c> know</c><00:17:31.400><c> what</c><00:17:31.480><c> he's</c><00:17:31.640><c> doing.</c>

00:17:32.059 --> 00:17:34.519
He<00:17:32.140><c> just,</c><00:17:32.380><c> he</c><00:17:32.720><c> runs</c><00:17:33.140><c> and</c><00:17:33.460><c> he's</c><00:17:33.579><c> not</c><00:17:33.799><c> going</c><00:17:34.000><c> anywhere,</c><00:17:34.299><c> right?</c>

00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:37.680
He<00:17:34.680><c> runs</c><00:17:34.880><c> and</c><00:17:35.079><c> he</c><00:17:35.180><c> goes</c><00:17:35.299><c> to</c><00:17:35.519><c> a</c><00:17:35.700><c> tree,</c><00:17:36.440><c> a</c><00:17:36.579><c> broom</c><00:17:36.799><c> tree,</c><00:17:37.339><c> and</c><00:17:37.480><c> he</c>

00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:38.589
sits<00:17:37.859><c> there.</c>

00:17:40.339 --> 00:17:41.869
Not<00:17:40.759><c> sure</c><00:17:40.859><c> what</c><00:17:41.000><c> to</c><00:17:41.140><c> do.</c>

00:17:42.059 --> 00:17:43.720
It's<00:17:42.339><c> almost</c><00:17:42.519><c> like</c><00:17:42.700><c> he's</c><00:17:42.920><c> gotten</c><00:17:43.059><c> to</c><00:17:43.220><c> this</c><00:17:43.440><c> point</c>

00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:47.920
and<00:17:44.039><c> he's</c><00:17:44.299><c> so</c><00:17:44.460><c> frustrated</c><00:17:45.039><c> that</c><00:17:46.019><c> he's</c><00:17:46.680><c> going</c><00:17:46.799><c> to</c><00:17:47.119><c> starve</c><00:17:47.339><c> himself.</c>

00:17:48.220 --> 00:17:50.019
Do<00:17:48.400><c> you</c><00:17:48.400><c> remember</c><00:17:48.559><c> what</c><00:17:48.740><c> happens</c><00:17:48.960><c> next?</c>

00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:53.940
An<00:17:51.000><c> angel</c><00:17:51.180><c> appears</c><00:17:51.759><c> and</c><00:17:52.380><c> the</c><00:17:52.599><c> angel</c><00:17:52.779><c> has</c><00:17:53.000><c> to</c><00:17:53.240><c> say,</c>

00:17:54.259 --> 00:17:56.819
Elijah,<00:17:55.880><c> eat.</c>

00:17:57.539 --> 00:18:00.920
You<00:17:57.900><c> need</c><00:17:58.180><c> to</c><00:17:58.420><c> eat</c><00:17:58.599><c> this</c><00:17:58.920><c> food,</c><00:18:00.119><c> right?</c>

00:18:01.019 --> 00:18:02.559
He<00:18:01.480><c> just</c><00:18:01.759><c> doesn't</c><00:18:02.039><c> know</c><00:18:02.180><c> what</c><00:18:02.319><c> to</c><00:18:02.460><c> do.</c>

00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:07.539
He<00:18:02.700><c> can't</c><00:18:03.220><c> make</c><00:18:03.500><c> sense</c><00:18:03.740><c> of</c><00:18:03.880><c> anything,</c><00:18:05.160><c> but</c><00:18:05.160><c> as</c><00:18:05.720><c> he</c><00:18:05.980><c> gets</c><00:18:06.299><c> this,</c>

00:18:10.700 --> 00:18:19.220
as<00:18:11.019><c> he</c><00:18:11.420><c> meets</c><00:18:11.680><c> with</c><00:18:11.880><c> this</c><00:18:12.099><c> angel,</c><00:18:15.039><c> I</c><00:18:15.079><c> think</c><00:18:15.299><c> perhaps</c><00:18:16.259><c> he</c><00:18:19.039><c> gets</c>

00:18:19.220 --> 00:18:20.200
an<00:18:19.440><c> idea.</c>

00:18:21.420 --> 00:18:24.299
So<00:18:21.579><c> there</c><00:18:21.740><c> he</c><00:18:21.880><c> is</c><00:18:22.380><c> sitting</c><00:18:22.720><c> under</c><00:18:22.960><c> the</c><00:18:23.180><c> broom</c><00:18:23.339><c> tree.</c>

00:18:25.180 --> 00:18:27.819
It's<00:18:25.299><c> this</c><00:18:25.500><c> word</c><00:18:26.099><c> rotem</c><00:18:26.960><c> in</c><00:18:27.420><c> Hebrew.</c>

00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:29.799
It's<00:18:28.259><c> only</c><00:18:28.380><c> used</c><00:18:28.539><c> four</c><00:18:28.799><c> times.</c>

00:18:29.819 --> 00:18:31.059
One<00:18:30.099><c> time</c><00:18:30.339><c> it's</c><00:18:30.539><c> used</c><00:18:30.640><c> in</c><00:18:30.859><c> Job.</c>

00:18:31.059 --> 00:18:32.259
Appears<00:18:31.680><c> to</c><00:18:31.779><c> be</c><00:18:31.900><c> unrelated.</c>

00:18:32.259 --> 00:18:33.400
Maybe<00:18:32.559><c> you</c><00:18:32.720><c> can</c><00:18:32.859><c> find</c><00:18:33.019><c> a</c><00:18:33.180><c> connection.</c>

00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.740
I<00:18:33.539><c> don't</c><00:18:33.680><c> know,</c><00:18:34.420><c> but</c><00:18:34.720><c> the</c><00:18:35.180><c> final</c><00:18:35.460><c> instance</c><00:18:35.740><c> in</c><00:18:35.960><c> the</c><00:18:36.119><c> Psalms,</c>

00:18:37.059 --> 00:18:40.380
I<00:18:37.059><c> think</c><00:18:37.359><c> might</c><00:18:37.660><c> show</c><00:18:38.299><c> where</c><00:18:38.799><c> Elijah</c><00:18:39.099><c> was</c><00:18:39.319><c> at</c><00:18:39.519><c> at</c><00:18:39.680><c> the</c><00:18:39.819><c> time.</c>

00:18:40.819 --> 00:18:42.980
There's<00:18:41.259><c> got</c><00:18:41.339><c> to</c><00:18:41.420><c> be</c><00:18:41.559><c> a</c><00:18:41.700><c> reason</c><00:18:41.960><c> that</c><00:18:42.180><c> scripture</c><00:18:42.440><c> tells</c><00:18:42.720><c> us</c><00:18:42.880><c> it</c>

00:18:42.980 --> 00:18:44.539
was<00:18:43.119><c> a</c><00:18:43.279><c> broom</c><00:18:43.460><c> tree.</c>

00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:48.740
So<00:18:44.880><c> it's</c><00:18:45.119><c> interesting</c><00:18:45.480><c> that</c><00:18:46.299><c> the</c><00:18:46.660><c> instance</c><00:18:46.920><c> in</c><00:18:47.220><c> Psalms</c><00:18:47.759><c> says</c><00:18:48.019><c> this.</c>

00:18:48.819 --> 00:18:52.720
In<00:18:49.259><c> my</c><00:18:49.500><c> distress,</c><00:18:49.839><c> I</c><00:18:50.059><c> called</c><00:18:50.200><c> to</c><00:18:50.380><c> the</c><00:18:50.500><c> Lord</c><00:18:50.740><c> and</c><00:18:51.640><c> he</c><00:18:51.779><c> answered</c><00:18:52.000><c> me.</c>

00:18:53.019 --> 00:18:56.220
Deliver<00:18:53.339><c> me,</c><00:18:53.599><c> O</c><00:18:53.680><c> Lord,</c><00:18:53.819><c> from</c><00:18:54.019><c> lying</c><00:18:54.339><c> lips</c><00:18:54.619><c> from</c><00:18:54.799><c> a</c><00:18:54.980><c> deceitful</c><00:18:55.359><c> tongue.</c>

00:18:57.140 --> 00:18:59.640
What<00:18:57.460><c> shall</c><00:18:57.599><c> be</c><00:18:57.759><c> given</c><00:18:57.900><c> to</c><00:18:58.140><c> you</c><00:18:58.500><c> and</c><00:18:58.700><c> what</c><00:18:58.900><c> more</c><00:18:59.079><c> shall</c><00:18:59.200><c> be</c><00:18:59.359><c> done</c><00:18:59.460><c> to</c>

00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:00.640
you,<00:18:59.799><c> O</c><00:18:59.920><c> deceitful</c><00:19:00.299><c> tongue?</c>

00:19:01.059 --> 00:19:04.720
A<00:19:01.559><c> warrior's</c><00:19:02.160><c> sharp</c><00:19:02.359><c> arrows</c><00:19:02.880><c> with</c><00:19:03.559><c> glowing</c><00:19:03.900><c> coals</c><00:19:04.359><c> of</c><00:19:04.579><c> the</c>

00:19:06.259 --> 00:19:08.680
Woe<00:19:06.279><c> to</c><00:19:06.420><c> me</c><00:19:06.539><c> that</c><00:19:06.680><c> I</c><00:19:06.859><c> sojourn</c><00:19:07.140><c> in</c><00:19:07.299><c> Meshach</c><00:19:07.660><c> that</c><00:19:07.819><c> I</c><00:19:08.099><c> dwell</c><00:19:08.259><c> among</c><00:19:08.480><c> the</c>

00:19:09.619 --> 00:19:12.440
Kedar<00:19:09.880><c> was</c><00:19:10.460><c> known</c><00:19:10.680><c> as</c><00:19:10.839><c> a</c><00:19:11.000><c> violent</c><00:19:11.259><c> society,</c><00:19:11.980><c> right?</c>

00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:14.559
So<00:19:12.599><c> you</c><00:19:12.980><c> can</c><00:19:13.180><c> imagine</c><00:19:13.579><c> Elijah</c><00:19:13.940><c> feeling</c><00:19:14.180><c> this</c><00:19:14.400><c> way.</c>

00:19:15.019 --> 00:19:19.759
Too<00:19:15.299><c> long</c><00:19:15.680><c> have</c><00:19:15.900><c> I</c><00:19:16.160><c> had</c><00:19:16.700><c> my</c><00:19:17.019><c> dwelling</c><00:19:17.339><c> among</c><00:19:18.000><c> those</c><00:19:18.339><c> who</c><00:19:18.559><c> hate</c><00:19:18.759><c> peace.</c>

00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:24.019
I<00:19:20.220><c> am</c><00:19:20.500><c> for</c><00:19:20.839><c> peace,</c><00:19:21.839><c> but</c><00:19:22.119><c> when</c><00:19:22.259><c> I</c><00:19:22.559><c> speak,</c><00:19:22.819><c> they</c><00:19:23.220><c> are</c><00:19:23.460><c> for</c><00:19:23.680><c> war.</c>

00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:28.000
And<00:19:24.480><c> there's</c><00:19:24.980><c> reflecting</c><00:19:25.359><c> that</c><00:19:25.859><c> feeling</c><00:19:26.180><c> of</c><00:19:26.779><c> Elijah</c><00:19:27.140><c> saying,</c>

00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:29.859
you<00:19:28.319><c> are</c><00:19:28.500><c> the</c><00:19:28.680><c> troublemaker</c><00:19:28.920><c> of</c><00:19:29.079><c> Israel,</c><00:19:29.619><c> right?</c>

00:19:29.859 --> 00:19:31.000
I<00:19:30.400><c> want</c><00:19:30.559><c> peace.</c>

00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:33.740
This<00:19:31.420><c> is</c><00:19:31.539><c> what</c><00:19:31.640><c> I've</c><00:19:31.799><c> been</c><00:19:31.940><c> trying</c><00:19:32.160><c> to</c><00:19:32.339><c> bring</c><00:19:32.500><c> out,</c><00:19:33.160><c> and</c><00:19:33.339><c> I</c>

00:19:33.740 --> 00:19:35.839
can't<00:19:34.200><c> make</c><00:19:34.420><c> this</c><00:19:34.819><c> work.</c>

00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:42.880
And<00:19:36.140><c> so</c><00:19:36.200><c> he's</c><00:19:36.420><c> sitting</c><00:19:36.619><c> there</c><00:19:37.259><c> with</c><00:19:37.579><c> this</c><00:19:38.680><c> feeling</c><00:19:39.359><c> of</c><00:19:39.680><c> despair,</c><00:19:41.160><c> not</c><00:19:41.559><c> sure</c><00:19:41.960><c> what</c><00:19:42.480><c> to</c><00:19:42.680><c> do.</c>

00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:47.619
And<00:19:43.059><c> yet</c><00:19:43.160><c> the</c><00:19:43.359><c> irony</c><00:19:43.559><c> is,</c><00:19:44.940><c> if</c><00:19:45.200><c> this</c><00:19:45.839><c> does</c><00:19:46.160><c> reflect</c><00:19:46.519><c> his</c><00:19:46.759><c> thinking,</c>

00:19:48.140 --> 00:19:50.660
he<00:19:48.299><c> had</c><00:19:48.359><c> been</c><00:19:48.460><c> the</c><00:19:48.579><c> one</c><00:19:48.660><c> who</c><00:19:48.779><c> just</c><00:19:48.980><c> killed</c><00:19:49.119><c> 850</c><00:19:49.660><c> people.</c>

00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:55.039
So<00:19:53.559><c> just</c><00:19:53.740><c> consider</c><00:19:54.039><c> that.</c>

00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:58.460
Now<00:19:55.839><c> again,</c><00:19:57.059><c> God</c><00:19:57.259><c> can</c><00:19:57.420><c> work</c><00:19:57.579><c> with</c><00:19:57.700><c> our</c><00:19:57.839><c> actions.</c>

00:19:58.460 --> 00:20:00.240
And<00:19:58.819><c> he</c><00:19:58.819><c> does,</c><00:19:59.140><c> and</c><00:19:59.220><c> he</c><00:19:59.299><c> teaches</c><00:19:59.519><c> us.</c>

00:20:00.539 --> 00:20:04.460
But<00:20:00.680><c> I</c><00:20:00.779><c> just</c><00:20:01.000><c> think</c><00:20:01.099><c> it's</c><00:20:01.420><c> interesting</c><00:20:01.759><c> to</c><00:20:02.000><c> see</c><00:20:02.119><c> how</c><00:20:02.319><c> sometimes</c><00:20:03.119><c> we</c><00:20:04.240><c> see</c>

00:20:04.460 --> 00:20:05.779
our<00:20:04.680><c> own</c><00:20:04.799><c> actions,</c>

00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:09.140
the<00:20:06.299><c> light</c><00:20:06.480><c> in</c><00:20:06.660><c> which</c><00:20:06.799><c> we</c><00:20:07.019><c> present</c><00:20:07.420><c> what</c><00:20:08.099><c> we</c><00:20:08.279><c> are</c><00:20:08.380><c> doing.</c>

00:20:10.220 --> 00:20:12.740
So<00:20:10.480><c> the</c><00:20:10.559><c> only</c><00:20:10.779><c> thing</c><00:20:10.980><c> that</c><00:20:11.240><c> Elijah</c><00:20:11.500><c> seems</c><00:20:11.759><c> to</c><00:20:11.920><c> be</c><00:20:11.980><c> able</c><00:20:12.079><c> to</c><00:20:12.200><c> make</c><00:20:12.339><c> sense</c><00:20:12.579><c> of</c>

00:20:12.740 --> 00:20:15.400
is<00:20:12.920><c> Moses's</c><00:20:13.480><c> righteousness,</c><00:20:14.279><c> is</c><00:20:14.480><c> Moses.</c>

00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.099
And<00:20:15.819><c> I</c><00:20:15.920><c> think</c><00:20:16.000><c> he</c><00:20:16.200><c> gets</c><00:20:16.299><c> a</c><00:20:16.440><c> little</c><00:20:16.579><c> bit</c><00:20:16.700><c> of</c><00:20:16.819><c> a</c><00:20:16.920><c> hint</c><00:20:17.079><c> like</c><00:20:17.380><c> that,</c>

00:20:19.579 --> 00:20:21.880
as<00:20:20.019><c> the</c><00:20:20.299><c> angel</c><00:20:20.500><c> speaks</c><00:20:20.819><c> to</c><00:20:21.019><c> him.</c>

00:20:22.980 --> 00:20:25.180
The<00:20:23.240><c> angel</c><00:20:23.380><c> tells</c><00:20:23.599><c> him</c><00:20:23.759><c> to</c><00:20:23.920><c> eat,</c><00:20:24.460><c> right?</c>

00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:29.039
And<00:20:26.559><c> not</c><00:20:26.759><c> only</c><00:20:26.960><c> that,</c><00:20:27.200><c> he's</c><00:20:27.420><c> there</c><00:20:27.700><c> in</c><00:20:27.880><c> the</c><00:20:28.039><c> wilderness.</c>

00:20:29.859 --> 00:20:32.339
And<00:20:30.119><c> we</c><00:20:30.579><c> touched</c><00:20:30.839><c> on</c><00:20:31.059><c> how</c><00:20:31.480><c> perhaps</c><00:20:31.779><c> he'd</c><00:20:31.960><c> been</c><00:20:32.099><c> thinking</c>

00:20:32.339 --> 00:20:34.160
about<00:20:32.579><c> Moses</c><00:20:32.880><c> earlier.</c>

00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:37.880
Many<00:20:35.480><c> offers</c><00:20:35.900><c> his</c><00:20:36.180><c> life</c><00:20:36.420><c> to</c><00:20:36.660><c> God</c><00:20:36.880><c> because</c><00:20:37.140><c> of</c><00:20:37.299><c> the</c><00:20:37.460><c> people,</c>

00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:39.420
which<00:20:38.420><c> is</c><00:20:38.480><c> something</c><00:20:38.680><c> that</c><00:20:38.819><c> Moses</c><00:20:39.059><c> had</c><00:20:39.259><c> done.</c>

00:20:39.460 --> 00:20:42.140
You<00:20:39.640><c> remember</c><00:20:39.819><c> that</c><00:20:40.039><c> with</c><00:20:40.460><c> the</c><00:20:40.720><c> story</c><00:20:40.859><c> of</c><00:20:40.960><c> the</c><00:20:41.059><c> golden</c><00:20:41.279><c> calf?</c>

00:20:42.380 --> 00:20:47.740
And<00:20:42.500><c> he</c><00:20:42.660><c> says,</c><00:20:43.559><c> if</c><00:20:43.640><c> you</c><00:20:43.839><c> will</c><00:20:44.000><c> not</c><00:20:44.960><c> forgive</c><00:20:45.900><c> them,</c><00:20:47.059><c> blot</c><00:20:47.259><c> out</c>

00:20:47.740 --> 00:20:49.859
my<00:20:48.079><c> life</c><00:20:48.619><c> from</c><00:20:48.779><c> the</c><00:20:48.900><c> book</c><00:20:49.000><c> of</c><00:20:49.200><c> life.</c>

00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:51.759
He<00:20:50.240><c> offers</c><00:20:50.460><c> his</c><00:20:50.680><c> own</c><00:20:50.839><c> life</c><00:20:51.039><c> as</c><00:20:51.240><c> well.</c>

00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:54.779
So<00:20:51.759><c> there's</c><00:20:52.960><c> a</c><00:20:53.119><c> little</c><00:20:53.420><c> bit</c><00:20:53.579><c> of</c><00:20:53.779><c> a</c><00:20:53.940><c> sense</c><00:20:54.160><c> there</c><00:20:54.420><c> of</c><00:20:54.559><c> what</c>

00:20:54.779 --> 00:20:55.519
Elijah's<00:20:55.240><c> doing.</c>

00:20:55.680 --> 00:21:01.279
And<00:20:56.160><c> I</c><00:20:56.220><c> think</c><00:20:56.339><c> he</c><00:20:56.500><c> gets</c><00:20:56.700><c> this</c><00:20:57.180><c> sort</c><00:20:57.319><c> of</c><00:20:57.599><c> confirmed</c><00:20:58.160><c> by</c><00:20:59.220><c> what</c><00:20:59.559><c> the</c><00:20:59.799><c> angel</c><00:20:59.980><c> is</c><00:21:00.220><c> doing.</c>

00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:07.059
However,<00:21:03.279><c> he's</c><00:21:03.759><c> not</c><00:21:03.940><c> really</c><00:21:04.119><c> acting</c><00:21:04.299><c> like</c><00:21:04.519><c> Moses</c><00:21:04.819><c> because</c><00:21:05.019><c> you</c><00:21:05.119><c> know</c><00:21:05.240><c> what</c><00:21:05.359><c> word</c><00:21:05.539><c> shows</c><00:21:05.759><c> up</c><00:21:06.000><c> again?</c>

00:21:07.299 --> 00:21:11.559
When<00:21:07.460><c> the</c><00:21:07.599><c> angel</c><00:21:07.759><c> brings</c><00:21:08.000><c> him</c><00:21:08.200><c> food,</c><00:21:10.299><c> he</c><00:21:10.440><c> gets</c><00:21:10.599><c> a</c><00:21:10.819><c> cake.</c>

00:21:15.140 --> 00:21:19.299
So<00:21:15.619><c> he</c><00:21:15.740><c> gets</c><00:21:15.839><c> that</c><00:21:16.119><c> cake,</c><00:21:16.819><c> which</c><00:21:17.119><c> again</c><00:21:17.579><c> is</c><00:21:18.079><c> a</c><00:21:18.220><c> reference</c><00:21:18.579><c> right</c><00:21:18.900><c> back</c>

00:21:19.299 --> 00:21:20.599
to<00:21:19.700><c> the</c><00:21:19.859><c> manna,</c>

00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:23.440
right<00:21:21.519><c> back</c><00:21:21.700><c> to</c><00:21:21.880><c> the</c><00:21:22.200><c> man</c><00:21:22.319><c> in</c><00:21:22.440><c> the</c><00:21:22.559><c> wilderness.</c>

00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:27.539
And<00:21:24.400><c> he</c><00:21:24.880><c> gets</c><00:21:25.279><c> a</c><00:21:25.559><c> miraculous</c><00:21:25.980><c> provision</c><00:21:26.319><c> of</c><00:21:26.559><c> water.</c>

00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:30.180
So<00:21:28.000><c> you</c><00:21:28.019><c> can</c><00:21:28.220><c> see</c><00:21:28.400><c> again</c><00:21:28.640><c> how</c><00:21:28.920><c> he's</c><00:21:29.339><c> being</c><00:21:29.619><c> shown.</c>

00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.160
Look,<00:21:30.559><c> this</c><00:21:30.779><c> isn't</c><00:21:30.940><c> Moses,</c><00:21:32.319><c> this</c><00:21:32.559><c> is</c><00:21:32.599><c> the</c><00:21:32.779><c> Israelites.</c>

00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:35.339
You<00:21:33.839><c> got</c><00:21:33.920><c> to</c><00:21:34.079><c> remember,</c><00:21:34.420><c> you</c><00:21:34.559><c> know,</c><00:21:34.680><c> when</c><00:21:34.799><c> the</c><00:21:35.099><c> Israelites</c>

00:21:35.339 --> 00:21:36.000
were<00:21:35.579><c> discouraged,</c>

00:21:36.019 --> 00:21:38.339
when<00:21:36.160><c> they</c><00:21:36.359><c> thought</c><00:21:36.519><c> they</c><00:21:36.660><c> were</c><00:21:36.759><c> going</c><00:21:36.839><c> to</c><00:21:37.019><c> die,</c><00:21:37.480><c> I</c><00:21:37.859><c> took</c><00:21:38.059><c> care</c>

00:21:38.339 --> 00:21:39.680
of<00:21:38.539><c> them,</c><00:21:39.460><c> right?</c>

00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:40.559
I<00:21:39.880><c> had</c><00:21:40.079><c> a</c><00:21:40.279><c> plan.</c>

00:21:40.779 --> 00:21:42.140
I<00:21:41.259><c> was</c><00:21:41.480><c> bringing</c><00:21:41.660><c> them</c><00:21:41.920><c> through.</c>

00:21:42.299 --> 00:21:45.099
This<00:21:42.440><c> is</c><00:21:42.539><c> what</c><00:21:42.660><c> God</c><00:21:42.920><c> is</c><00:21:43.279><c> showing</c><00:21:43.539><c> him</c><00:21:43.819><c> through</c><00:21:44.160><c> this</c><00:21:44.420><c> provision</c><00:21:44.759><c> here.</c>

00:21:45.099 --> 00:21:47.839
And<00:21:45.460><c> I</c><00:21:45.640><c> think</c><00:21:46.099><c> perhaps</c><00:21:46.579><c> Elijah</c><00:21:46.980><c> takes</c><00:21:47.240><c> it</c><00:21:47.380><c> and</c><00:21:47.420><c> he</c><00:21:47.559><c> says,</c><00:21:47.700><c> wait</c>

00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:49.279
a<00:21:47.940><c> minute,</c><00:21:48.539><c> manna?</c>

00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:51.500
Water?

00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:54.579
Well,<00:21:52.920><c> that's</c><00:21:53.119><c> what</c><00:21:53.259><c> happened</c><00:21:53.440><c> under</c><00:21:53.619><c> Moses.</c>

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:56.920
So<00:21:55.119><c> you</c><00:21:55.140><c> know,</c><00:21:55.460><c> he</c><00:21:55.980><c> kind</c><00:21:56.160><c> of</c><00:21:56.279><c> puts</c><00:21:56.420><c> these</c><00:21:56.579><c> hints</c><00:21:56.740><c> out.</c>

00:21:56.940 --> 00:21:58.339
He<00:21:57.039><c> runs</c><00:21:57.259><c> through</c><00:21:57.460><c> the</c><00:21:57.559><c> wilderness.</c>

00:21:58.660 --> 00:22:01.880
He<00:21:59.019><c> offers</c><00:21:59.460><c> his</c><00:21:59.720><c> life</c><00:22:00.220><c> and</c><00:22:00.420><c> he</c><00:22:00.619><c> says,</c><00:22:00.779><c> you</c><00:22:00.920><c> know,</c><00:22:00.980><c> I'm</c><00:22:01.140><c> thinking</c><00:22:01.299><c> about</c><00:22:01.500><c> Moses.</c>

00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:05.859
And<00:22:02.299><c> then</c><00:22:02.400><c> he</c><00:22:02.599><c> sees</c><00:22:02.759><c> the</c><00:22:03.039><c> cake</c><00:22:03.259><c> and</c><00:22:03.579><c> the</c><00:22:03.779><c> water</c><00:22:03.980><c> and</c><00:22:04.140><c> he</c><00:22:04.259><c> thinks,</c><00:22:04.700><c> aha,</c>

00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:08.299
God<00:22:07.140><c> understands.</c>

00:22:08.619 --> 00:22:10.440
I'm<00:22:08.859><c> supposed</c><00:22:09.099><c> to</c><00:22:09.220><c> be</c><00:22:09.299><c> like</c><00:22:09.480><c> Moses.</c>

00:22:10.660 --> 00:22:14.500
And<00:22:10.819><c> so</c><00:22:11.420><c> bent</c><00:22:11.640><c> on</c><00:22:11.819><c> this</c><00:22:12.019><c> idea,</c><00:22:12.880><c> because</c><00:22:13.019><c> the</c><00:22:13.220><c> angel</c><00:22:13.380><c> says,</c>

00:22:14.619 --> 00:22:17.500
arise<00:22:14.960><c> and</c><00:22:15.160><c> eat</c><00:22:15.359><c> for</c><00:22:15.539><c> the</c><00:22:15.759><c> journey</c><00:22:16.000><c> is</c><00:22:16.200><c> too</c><00:22:16.440><c> great</c><00:22:16.579><c> for</c><00:22:16.799><c> you.</c>

00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:19.140
Elijah<00:22:18.240><c> says,</c>

00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:25.619
God<00:22:20.039><c> knows</c><00:22:20.259><c> where</c><00:22:20.400><c> I'm</c><00:22:20.559><c> going</c><00:22:21.099><c> because</c><00:22:22.480><c> he's</c><00:22:22.759><c> headed</c><00:22:23.119><c> to</c><00:22:24.099><c> Mount</c><00:22:24.319><c> Sinai</c><00:22:24.779><c> to</c>

00:22:25.619 --> 00:22:26.359
be<00:22:25.759><c> like</c><00:22:25.960><c> Moses.</c>

00:22:26.740 --> 00:22:33.000
And<00:22:26.839><c> what</c><00:22:27.000><c> Elijah</c><00:22:27.279><c> is</c><00:22:27.480><c> going</c><00:22:27.599><c> to</c><00:22:27.799><c> do</c><00:22:28.220><c> is</c><00:22:28.920><c> he's</c><00:22:29.220><c> going</c><00:22:29.380><c> to</c><00:22:29.859><c> attempt</c><00:22:30.359><c> to</c><00:22:31.460><c> recreate</c>

00:22:33.339 --> 00:22:36.019
the<00:22:33.980><c> giving</c><00:22:34.200><c> of</c><00:22:34.460><c> the</c><00:22:34.619><c> law</c><00:22:34.940><c> at</c><00:22:35.200><c> Sinai.</c>

00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:44.839
Now<00:22:39.559><c> remember,</c><00:22:41.319><c> God</c><00:22:41.559><c> has</c><00:22:41.880><c> slowly</c><00:22:42.119><c> been</c><00:22:42.400><c> teaching</c><00:22:42.759><c> Elijah</c><00:22:43.299><c> that</c><00:22:44.539><c> it's</c><00:22:44.680><c> not</c>

00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:45.819
about<00:22:45.000><c> law.</c>

00:22:46.539 --> 00:22:49.819
But<00:22:46.980><c> these</c><00:22:47.420><c> kind</c><00:22:47.559><c> of</c><00:22:47.660><c> things</c><00:22:48.079><c> are</c><00:22:48.619><c> hard,</c><00:22:49.519><c> right?</c>

00:22:50.019 --> 00:22:53.099
Like,<00:22:50.539><c> you</c><00:22:50.640><c> know,</c><00:22:50.799><c> I've</c><00:22:51.420><c> known</c><00:22:51.640><c> that,</c><00:22:52.200><c> that</c><00:22:52.319><c> it's</c><00:22:52.500><c> not</c><00:22:52.599><c> about</c><00:22:52.799><c> law.</c>

00:22:53.339 --> 00:22:55.319
I've<00:22:53.559><c> known</c><00:22:53.619><c> it</c><00:22:53.859><c> since</c><00:22:54.099><c> I</c><00:22:54.240><c> was</c><00:22:54.420><c> like</c><00:22:54.680><c> 10,</c><00:22:55.140><c> right?</c>

00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:57.160
We<00:22:55.480><c> talk</c><00:22:55.640><c> about</c><00:22:55.839><c> it</c><00:22:55.920><c> all</c><00:22:56.059><c> the</c><00:22:56.200><c> time</c><00:22:56.400><c> as</c><00:22:56.599><c> Christadelphians.</c>

00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:01.099
And<00:22:57.759><c> yet</c><00:22:58.019><c> here</c><00:22:58.299><c> I</c><00:22:58.440><c> am</c><00:22:58.599><c> 25</c><00:22:59.019><c> years</c><00:22:59.299><c> later,</c><00:23:00.200><c> still</c><00:23:00.519><c> talking</c><00:23:00.859><c> about</c>

00:23:01.099 --> 00:23:03.599
it<00:23:01.460><c> because</c><00:23:01.799><c> I</c><00:23:02.460><c> still</c><00:23:02.660><c> struggle</c><00:23:02.920><c> with</c><00:23:03.079><c> it,</c><00:23:03.460><c> right?</c>

00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.099
We<00:23:03.819><c> still</c><00:23:04.180><c> want</c><00:23:04.359><c> to</c><00:23:04.599><c> create</c><00:23:04.799><c> these</c><00:23:05.059><c> rules</c><00:23:05.400><c> and</c><00:23:05.500><c> we</c><00:23:05.740><c> still</c><00:23:05.940><c> want</c>

00:23:06.099 --> 00:23:07.279
to<00:23:06.200><c> live</c><00:23:06.299><c> by</c><00:23:06.500><c> them</c><00:23:06.680><c> and</c><00:23:06.819><c> still</c><00:23:07.079><c> think</c>

00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:13.220
this<00:23:07.980><c> is</c><00:23:08.740><c> how</c><00:23:09.339><c> we</c><00:23:09.599><c> can</c><00:23:10.220><c> bring</c><00:23:11.279><c> God</c><00:23:12.500><c> glory.</c>

00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:16.319
Glory,<00:23:13.880><c> this</c><00:23:14.079><c> is</c><00:23:14.200><c> how</c><00:23:14.279><c> we</c><00:23:14.359><c> can</c><00:23:14.539><c> make</c><00:23:14.740><c> God</c><00:23:15.099><c> happiest</c><00:23:15.599><c> by</c><00:23:15.819><c> creating</c><00:23:16.119><c> these</c>

00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:17.279
laws<00:23:16.519><c> and</c><00:23:16.740><c> following</c><00:23:16.960><c> them.</c>

00:23:17.779 --> 00:23:22.250
So<00:23:17.779><c> I</c><00:23:18.180><c> think</c><00:23:19.140><c> Elijah,</c><00:23:19.859><c> even</c><00:23:20.240><c> though</c><00:23:20.839><c> God</c><00:23:21.140><c> taught</c><00:23:21.500><c> him,</c>

00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:26.099
it's<00:23:24.839><c> not</c><00:23:25.000><c> about</c><00:23:25.220><c> the</c><00:23:25.339><c> law.</c>

00:23:26.220 --> 00:23:27.859
Eat<00:23:26.720><c> from</c><00:23:26.880><c> the</c><00:23:27.019><c> unclean</c><00:23:27.299><c> birds.</c>

00:23:28.220 --> 00:23:30.480
Eat<00:23:28.440><c> the</c><00:23:28.980><c> stuff</c><00:23:29.119><c> that's</c><00:23:29.420><c> dead</c><00:23:29.640><c> that</c><00:23:29.759><c> they</c><00:23:29.960><c> bring</c><00:23:30.059><c> to</c><00:23:30.240><c> you.</c>

00:23:30.619 --> 00:23:33.519
Lay<00:23:31.000><c> on</c><00:23:31.420><c> that</c><00:23:31.720><c> boy</c><00:23:31.940><c> to</c><00:23:32.160><c> resurrect</c><00:23:32.460><c> him.</c>

00:23:33.980 --> 00:23:37.880
Even<00:23:34.160><c> though</c><00:23:34.299><c> he</c><00:23:34.559><c> starts</c><00:23:34.839><c> to</c><00:23:35.099><c> learn</c><00:23:35.220><c> it,</c><00:23:36.519><c> it's</c><00:23:36.640><c> always</c><00:23:36.759><c> a</c><00:23:36.960><c> process.</c>

00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:41.740
And<00:23:38.680><c> so</c><00:23:38.839><c> here</c><00:23:39.059><c> he</c><00:23:39.240><c> is,</c><00:23:39.799><c> the</c><00:23:40.000><c> world</c><00:23:40.299><c> falling</c><00:23:40.640><c> apart</c><00:23:40.920><c> around</c><00:23:41.180><c> him.</c>

00:23:41.740 --> 00:23:48.019
He<00:23:42.140><c> goes</c><00:23:42.480><c> to</c><00:23:42.720><c> the</c><00:23:42.900><c> one</c><00:23:43.119><c> thing</c><00:23:43.380><c> that</c><00:23:43.599><c> seems</c><00:23:43.880><c> sure,</c><00:23:45.299><c> and</c><00:23:45.299><c> that</c><00:23:45.519><c> is</c><00:23:46.940><c> law.</c>

00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:52.140
He<00:23:49.599><c> feels</c><00:23:49.940><c> like</c><00:23:50.240><c> God</c><00:23:50.460><c> affirms</c><00:23:50.880><c> it</c><00:23:51.180><c> with</c><00:23:51.359><c> this.</c>

00:23:53.380 --> 00:23:57.119
So<00:23:53.619><c> he</c><00:23:53.740><c> runs</c><00:23:54.019><c> to</c><00:23:54.220><c> Mount</c><00:23:54.420><c> Sinai</c><00:23:54.859><c> and</c><00:23:55.279><c> he</c><00:23:55.460><c> is</c><00:23:55.680><c> going</c><00:23:55.819><c> to</c><00:23:56.140><c> recreate</c>

00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:00.000
Mount<00:23:57.779><c> Sinai</c><00:23:58.299><c> to</c><00:23:58.759><c> see</c><00:23:59.079><c> the</c><00:23:59.299><c> glory</c><00:23:59.519><c> of</c><00:23:59.740><c> God,</c>

00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:03.240
like<00:24:00.400><c> Moses</c><00:24:00.799><c> saw</c><00:24:01.059><c> the</c><00:24:01.200><c> glory</c><00:24:01.420><c> of</c><00:24:01.640><c> God,</c><00:24:02.079><c> to</c><00:24:02.319><c> remind</c><00:24:02.680><c> himself</c>

00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:04.859
why<00:24:04.059><c> this</c><00:24:04.279><c> all</c><00:24:04.480><c> matters,</c>

00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:06.539
to<00:24:05.240><c> remind</c><00:24:05.440><c> himself</c><00:24:05.759><c> what</c><00:24:05.920><c> he's</c><00:24:06.220><c> doing.</c>

00:24:06.900 --> 00:24:09.420
I<00:24:06.980><c> mean,</c><00:24:07.119><c> you</c><00:24:07.220><c> can</c><00:24:07.480><c> totally</c><00:24:07.759><c> see</c><00:24:08.119><c> this</c><00:24:08.519><c> is</c><00:24:08.980><c> extremely</c>

00:24:09.420 --> 00:24:10.500
biblical<00:24:09.920><c> thinking.</c>

00:24:10.500 --> 00:24:14.259
Like<00:24:11.259><c> Elijah</c><00:24:12.019><c> is</c><00:24:12.180><c> going</c><00:24:12.339><c> to</c><00:24:12.480><c> start</c><00:24:12.700><c> quoting</c><00:24:13.160><c> passages</c><00:24:13.700><c> to</c><00:24:13.920><c> God</c>

00:24:14.259 --> 00:24:15.160
when<00:24:14.759><c> God</c><00:24:14.980><c> says,</c>

00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:16.119
why<00:24:15.339><c> are</c><00:24:15.460><c> you</c><00:24:15.619><c> here?</c>

00:24:16.220 --> 00:24:18.740
And<00:24:16.359><c> Elijah</c><00:24:16.579><c> is</c><00:24:16.680><c> going</c><00:24:16.759><c> to</c><00:24:16.839><c> be</c><00:24:17.019><c> all</c><00:24:17.400><c> over</c><00:24:17.700><c> the</c><00:24:17.900><c> Torah.</c>

00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:21.980
And<00:24:19.579><c> he's</c><00:24:19.720><c> going</c><00:24:19.880><c> to</c><00:24:19.940><c> quote</c><00:24:20.180><c> it</c><00:24:20.559><c> a</c><00:24:20.680><c> bunch</c><00:24:20.819><c> of</c><00:24:20.980><c> times</c><00:24:21.119><c> to</c><00:24:21.299><c> God,</c>

00:24:22.420 --> 00:24:24.259
kind<00:24:22.599><c> of</c><00:24:22.599><c> like</c><00:24:22.799><c> God</c><00:24:22.960><c> forgot</c><00:24:23.339><c> or</c><00:24:23.519><c> something.</c>

00:24:24.339 --> 00:24:27.400
It's<00:24:24.779><c> like</c><00:24:25.000><c> Elijah</c><00:24:25.279><c> is</c><00:24:25.460><c> trying</c><00:24:25.559><c> to</c><00:24:25.720><c> remind</c><00:24:25.960><c> him,</c><00:24:26.960><c> but</c><00:24:27.079><c> this</c><00:24:27.240><c> is</c>

00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:30.019
his<00:24:27.640><c> biblical</c><00:24:28.039><c> thinking,</c><00:24:28.900><c> right?</c>

00:24:30.779 --> 00:24:33.220
And<00:24:31.160><c> I</c><00:24:31.220><c> don't</c><00:24:31.359><c> think</c><00:24:31.440><c> we</c><00:24:31.599><c> can</c><00:24:31.839><c> condemn</c><00:24:32.099><c> him</c><00:24:32.339><c> for</c><00:24:32.500><c> it.</c>

00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.480
I<00:24:34.180><c> think</c><00:24:34.420><c> instead</c><00:24:34.940><c> we</c><00:24:35.519><c> should</c><00:24:35.759><c> empathize</c><00:24:36.420><c> with</c><00:24:36.519><c> him</c><00:24:36.700><c> for</c><00:24:36.900><c> it</c>

00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:39.839
because<00:24:37.680><c> we</c><00:24:38.059><c> do</c><00:24:38.279><c> this</c><00:24:38.559><c> all</c><00:24:38.980><c> the</c><00:24:39.220><c> time.</c>

00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:45.440
And<00:24:40.460><c> amazingly,</c><00:24:42.039><c> our</c><00:24:42.160><c> wonderful</c><00:24:42.680><c> God</c><00:24:43.279><c> puts</c><00:24:43.660><c> up</c><00:24:43.880><c> with</c><00:24:44.079><c> it,</c><00:24:44.940><c> right?</c>

00:24:45.579 --> 00:24:51.019
And<00:24:46.039><c> he</c><00:24:46.119><c> says,</c><00:24:49.519><c> I</c><00:24:49.559><c> see</c><00:24:49.819><c> your</c><00:24:50.039><c> zeal.</c>

00:24:52.059 --> 00:24:54.319
Let's<00:24:52.660><c> just</c><00:24:52.940><c> channel</c><00:24:53.140><c> it</c><00:24:53.299><c> this</c><00:24:53.519><c> way.</c>

00:24:55.700 --> 00:24:57.339
That's<00:24:55.940><c> what's</c><00:24:56.059><c> going</c><00:24:56.119><c> to</c><00:24:56.220><c> happen</c><00:24:56.380><c> with</c><00:24:56.539><c> Elijah.</c>

00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:02.359
So<00:24:59.839><c> he</c><00:25:00.440><c> runs</c><00:25:00.720><c> down</c><00:25:01.200><c> to</c><00:25:01.500><c> Sinai.</c>

00:25:03.019 --> 00:25:06.660
He<00:25:03.279><c> fasts</c><00:25:03.980><c> then</c><00:25:04.500><c> for</c><00:25:05.000><c> 40</c><00:25:05.299><c> days</c><00:25:05.599><c> and</c><00:25:05.799><c> 40</c><00:25:05.980><c> nights,</c><00:25:06.380><c> remind</c><00:25:06.559><c> you</c>

00:25:06.660 --> 00:25:07.819
of<00:25:06.779><c> anyone.</c>

00:25:07.940 --> 00:25:10.960
He<00:25:08.400><c> fasts</c><00:25:08.720><c> for</c><00:25:08.799><c> 40</c><00:25:09.000><c> days,</c><00:25:09.279><c> 40</c><00:25:09.440><c> nights,</c><00:25:09.759><c> only</c><00:25:10.059><c> other</c><00:25:10.460><c> person</c><00:25:10.799><c> to</c>

00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:12.720
have<00:25:11.059><c> done</c><00:25:11.220><c> that</c><00:25:11.460><c> at</c><00:25:11.599><c> this</c><00:25:11.779><c> point,</c>

00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:17.740
which<00:25:13.880><c> is</c><00:25:14.339><c> exactly</c><00:25:14.680><c> what</c><00:25:14.839><c> Moses</c><00:25:15.099><c> did</c><00:25:15.500><c> in</c><00:25:15.819><c> Exodus</c><00:25:16.000><c> 34,</c><00:25:16.440><c> 28.</c>

00:25:18.339 --> 00:25:21.019
He<00:25:18.460><c> goes</c><00:25:18.660><c> to</c><00:25:18.940><c> Sinai,</c><00:25:19.299><c> which</c><00:25:19.819><c> is</c><00:25:19.960><c> where</c><00:25:20.039><c> Moses</c><00:25:20.359><c> met</c><00:25:20.539><c> with</c><00:25:20.759><c> God,</c>

00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:22.559
Exodus<00:25:21.420><c> 34,</c><00:25:21.880><c> verse</c><00:25:22.099><c> 4.</c>

00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.539
He<00:25:23.000><c> is</c><00:25:23.220><c> going</c><00:25:23.359><c> to</c><00:25:23.619><c> recreate</c><00:25:24.119><c> the</c><00:25:24.380><c> giving</c><00:25:24.559><c> of</c><00:25:24.759><c> the</c><00:25:24.880><c> law</c><00:25:25.259><c> at</c><00:25:25.680><c> Sinai.</c>

00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:30.759
Now,<00:25:29.279><c> what</c><00:25:29.480><c> happens</c><00:25:29.859><c> is</c><00:25:30.079><c> he</c><00:25:30.180><c> gets</c><00:25:30.460><c> there.</c>

00:25:30.779 --> 00:25:34.279
And<00:25:31.000><c> just</c><00:25:31.220><c> in</c><00:25:31.359><c> case</c><00:25:31.539><c> you're</c><00:25:31.960><c> a</c><00:25:32.079><c> little</c><00:25:32.220><c> skeptical</c><00:25:32.619><c> of</c><00:25:32.819><c> this</c><00:25:32.960><c> idea,</c><00:25:34.140><c> of</c>

00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:35.299
this<00:25:34.519><c> recreating</c><00:25:34.900><c> the</c><00:25:35.140><c> law,</c>

00:25:35.299 --> 00:25:36.079
he<00:25:35.480><c> gets</c><00:25:35.720><c> there.</c>

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:39.640
And<00:25:36.220><c> in</c><00:25:36.440><c> fact,</c><00:25:36.839><c> he</c><00:25:36.920><c> goes</c><00:25:37.119><c> into</c><00:25:37.380><c> a</c><00:25:37.599><c> cave,</c><00:25:38.660><c> a</c><00:25:38.799><c> cave.</c>

00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:48.319
Now,<00:25:42.980><c> what</c><00:25:43.140><c> had</c><00:25:43.400><c> happened</c><00:25:44.039><c> with</c><00:25:45.000><c> a</c><00:25:45.259><c> cave</c><00:25:45.720><c> prior</c><00:25:46.160><c> to</c><00:25:46.619><c> this</c><00:25:47.039><c> at</c><00:25:47.420><c> Sinai?</c>

00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:53.119
Now,<00:25:51.039><c> I'll</c><00:25:51.680><c> be</c><00:25:51.900><c> totally</c><00:25:52.519><c> honest</c><00:25:52.940><c> here.</c>

00:25:53.140 --> 00:25:55.619
The<00:25:53.359><c> record</c><00:25:53.539><c> does</c><00:25:53.900><c> not</c><00:25:54.200><c> say</c><00:25:54.480><c> a</c><00:25:54.759><c> cave</c><00:25:55.079><c> in</c><00:25:55.339><c> Exodus.</c>

00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:59.200
It<00:25:56.359><c> says</c><00:25:56.680><c> a</c><00:25:57.200><c> cleft</c><00:25:57.519><c> of</c><00:25:57.779><c> the</c><00:25:57.960><c> rock,</c><00:25:58.759><c> right?</c>

00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:02.779
So<00:25:59.839><c> it's</c><00:26:00.059><c> this</c><00:26:00.279><c> outcropping,</c><00:26:01.880><c> something</c><00:26:02.119><c> like</c><00:26:02.400><c> that.</c>

00:26:02.779 --> 00:26:05.299
However,<00:26:03.400><c> I</c><00:26:03.579><c> think</c><00:26:03.819><c> scripture</c><00:26:04.140><c> is</c><00:26:04.539><c> telling</c><00:26:04.799><c> us</c><00:26:05.019><c> that</c><00:26:05.140><c> it's</c>

00:26:05.299 --> 00:26:06.079
the<00:26:05.420><c> same</c><00:26:05.559><c> place.</c>

00:26:06.460 --> 00:26:10.200
Because<00:26:06.720><c> if</c><00:26:06.880><c> you</c><00:26:07.019><c> look</c><00:26:07.200><c> in</c><00:26:07.339><c> the</c><00:26:07.440><c> Hebrew,</c><00:26:08.819><c> this</c><00:26:09.019><c> is</c><00:26:09.180><c> your</c><00:26:09.380><c> word.</c>

00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:13.519
And<00:26:11.279><c> some</c><00:26:11.759><c> of</c><00:26:11.900><c> you</c><00:26:11.980><c> may</c><00:26:12.160><c> recognize</c><00:26:12.539><c> that</c><00:26:12.779><c> letter.</c>

00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:15.180
That<00:26:13.779><c> is</c><00:26:14.119><c> a</c><00:26:14.440><c> hey.</c>

00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:19.900
And<00:26:15.579><c> when</c><00:26:15.700><c> it's</c><00:26:16.019><c> put</c><00:26:16.200><c> on</c><00:26:16.380><c> the</c><00:26:16.619><c> front</c><00:26:16.779><c> of</c><00:26:17.000><c> a</c><00:26:17.099><c> word,</c><00:26:17.460><c> it</c><00:26:17.619><c> means</c><00:26:18.180><c> the.</c>

00:26:20.319 --> 00:26:22.059
It<00:26:20.579><c> is</c><00:26:20.779><c> the</c><00:26:20.920><c> definite</c><00:26:21.140><c> article.</c>

00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:25.099
So<00:26:22.440><c> in</c><00:26:22.680><c> other</c><00:26:22.900><c> words,</c><00:26:23.299><c> 1</c><00:26:23.420><c> Kings</c><00:26:23.700><c> 19,</c><00:26:24.339><c> 9,</c><00:26:24.640><c> you</c><00:26:24.740><c> might</c><00:26:24.880><c> want</c><00:26:25.000><c> to</c>

00:26:25.099 --> 00:26:26.180
just<00:26:25.359><c> underline</c><00:26:25.740><c> this</c><00:26:25.960><c> here</c>

00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:27.960
and<00:26:26.519><c> add</c><00:26:26.720><c> that</c><00:26:26.940><c> in,</c><00:26:27.339><c> in</c><00:26:27.500><c> your</c><00:26:27.660><c> Bible.</c>

00:26:28.460 --> 00:26:32.680
It<00:26:28.640><c> actually</c><00:26:28.960><c> says,</c><00:26:29.799><c> there</c><00:26:30.019><c> he</c><00:26:30.319><c> came</c><00:26:30.700><c> to</c><00:26:31.519><c> the</c><00:26:32.240><c> cave.</c>

00:26:32.779 --> 00:26:34.000
And<00:26:33.160><c> lodged</c><00:26:33.480><c> in</c><00:26:33.599><c> it.</c>

00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:36.579
Now,<00:26:34.740><c> I</c><00:26:34.900><c> think</c><00:26:35.099><c> the</c><00:26:35.279><c> reason</c><00:26:35.519><c> that</c><00:26:35.700><c> most</c><00:26:35.920><c> translators</c><00:26:36.380><c> didn't</c>

00:26:36.579 --> 00:26:37.240
put<00:26:36.759><c> that</c><00:26:36.980><c> in</c>

00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:39.660
is<00:26:37.559><c> just</c><00:26:37.819><c> because</c><00:26:38.039><c> they</c><00:26:38.200><c> were</c><00:26:38.400><c> like,</c><00:26:38.779><c> what?</c>

00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:40.799
That<00:26:39.940><c> doesn't</c><00:26:40.099><c> make</c><00:26:40.259><c> any</c><00:26:40.380><c> sense.</c>

00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:41.799
The<00:26:41.420><c> cave.</c>

00:26:42.099 --> 00:26:43.859
He<00:26:42.240><c> was</c><00:26:42.440><c> never</c><00:26:42.759><c> at</c><00:26:43.019><c> Mount</c><00:26:43.259><c> Sinai</c><00:26:43.519><c> before.</c>

00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:46.299
Like,<00:26:44.140><c> why</c><00:26:44.279><c> would</c><00:26:44.380><c> it</c><00:26:44.500><c> be</c><00:26:44.700><c> referencing</c><00:26:44.980><c> a</c><00:26:45.180><c> specific</c><00:26:45.480><c> cave?</c>

00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:49.220
But<00:26:46.619><c> when</c><00:26:46.839><c> you</c><00:26:47.019><c> look</c><00:26:47.160><c> at</c><00:26:47.299><c> this</c><00:26:47.460><c> in</c><00:26:47.720><c> light</c><00:26:47.960><c> of</c><00:26:48.619><c> Moses,</c>

00:26:49.579 --> 00:26:53.019
I<00:26:49.660><c> think</c><00:26:49.839><c> what</c><00:26:49.980><c> you</c><00:26:50.279><c> see</c><00:26:50.740><c> is</c><00:26:51.519><c> scripture</c><00:26:51.819><c> is</c><00:26:52.099><c> telling</c><00:26:52.220><c> us</c><00:26:52.579><c> he</c>

00:26:53.019 --> 00:26:53.420
went<00:26:53.240><c> up.</c>

00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:55.900
He's<00:26:53.900><c> climbing</c><00:26:54.240><c> up</c><00:26:54.420><c> the</c><00:26:54.559><c> mountain</c><00:26:54.680><c> and</c><00:26:54.819><c> he</c><00:26:54.940><c> says,</c><00:26:55.099><c> where</c><00:26:55.299><c> is</c><00:26:55.460><c> it?</c>

00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:56.759
Where<00:26:56.420><c> is</c><00:26:56.579><c> it?</c>

00:26:56.779 --> 00:26:58.519
I<00:26:57.220><c> have</c><00:26:57.440><c> to</c><00:26:57.619><c> find</c><00:26:57.799><c> it.</c>

00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:01.339
And<00:26:59.000><c> he</c><00:26:59.160><c> finds</c><00:26:59.779><c> the</c><00:27:00.539><c> cave.</c>

00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:06.859
The<00:27:02.000><c> one</c><00:27:02.200><c> that</c><00:27:02.359><c> Moses</c><00:27:02.640><c> was</c><00:27:02.920><c> in</c><00:27:03.480><c> when</c><00:27:04.079><c> God's</c><00:27:05.099><c> glory</c><00:27:05.500><c> passes</c><00:27:06.200><c> by,</c>

00:27:07.099 --> 00:27:12.160
when<00:27:07.279><c> God</c><00:27:07.640><c> proclaims</c><00:27:08.680><c> Yahweh,</c><00:27:09.380><c> Yahweh,</c><00:27:10.079><c> merciful,</c><00:27:10.680><c> gracious,</c><00:27:11.259><c> long</c><00:27:11.380><c>-suffering,</c>

00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:13.619
abundance<00:27:12.640><c> in</c><00:27:12.900><c> goodness</c><00:27:13.119><c> and</c><00:27:13.380><c> truth.</c>

00:27:14.099 --> 00:27:14.319
Right?

00:27:14.500 --> 00:27:17.420
So<00:27:14.720><c> here's</c><00:27:15.039><c> Elijah</c><00:27:15.380><c> attempting</c><00:27:15.859><c> to</c><00:27:16.160><c> recreate</c><00:27:16.599><c> the</c><00:27:16.759><c> whole</c><00:27:16.880><c> experience.</c>

00:27:17.619 --> 00:27:20.720
And<00:27:17.799><c> he</c><00:27:17.880><c> goes</c><00:27:18.220><c> and</c><00:27:18.660><c> he</c><00:27:18.980><c> stands</c><00:27:19.200><c> in</c><00:27:19.380><c> the</c><00:27:19.519><c> cave</c><00:27:19.779><c> and</c><00:27:20.200><c> he</c><00:27:20.420><c> waits.</c>

00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:21.960
I'm<00:27:21.500><c> ready.</c>

00:27:22.339 --> 00:27:23.059
Right?

00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:23.980
Here<00:27:23.599><c> it</c><00:27:23.740><c> is.</c>

00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:25.779
You<00:27:24.579><c> told</c><00:27:24.779><c> me</c><00:27:24.960><c> I</c><00:27:25.059><c> should</c><00:27:25.140><c> come</c><00:27:25.339><c> down</c><00:27:25.579><c> here.</c>

00:27:25.819 --> 00:27:27.160
This<00:27:26.079><c> is</c><00:27:26.200><c> what</c><00:27:26.240><c> he's</c><00:27:26.420><c> thinking.</c>

00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:28.759
I'm<00:27:27.720><c> ready.</c>

00:27:29.980 --> 00:27:34.259
So<00:27:30.420><c> then</c><00:27:30.859><c> he</c><00:27:31.940><c> stands</c><00:27:32.160><c> in</c><00:27:32.319><c> the</c><00:27:32.440><c> cave</c><00:27:32.680><c> and</c><00:27:33.480><c> God</c><00:27:33.700><c> comes</c><00:27:33.960><c> and</c><00:27:34.119><c> says,</c>

00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.400
Elijah,<00:27:35.880><c> why</c><00:27:36.099><c> are</c><00:27:36.220><c> you</c><00:27:36.359><c> here?</c>

00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:41.000
Now,<00:27:38.880><c> if</c><00:27:39.059><c> that's</c><00:27:39.259><c> not</c><00:27:39.579><c> deflating,</c><00:27:40.619><c> right?</c>

00:27:41.019 --> 00:27:44.079
I<00:27:41.259><c> don't</c><00:27:41.380><c> know</c><00:27:41.460><c> what</c><00:27:41.660><c> is</c><00:27:41.940><c> because</c><00:27:42.359><c> it's</c><00:27:42.740><c> kind</c><00:27:42.859><c> of</c><00:27:42.980><c> like,</c><00:27:43.920><c> well,</c>

00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:44.680
isn't<00:27:44.200><c> it</c><00:27:44.420><c> obvious?</c>

00:27:44.900 --> 00:27:46.099
You<00:27:44.980><c> know,</c><00:27:45.079><c> I'm</c><00:27:45.299><c> standing</c><00:27:45.559><c> in</c><00:27:45.720><c> the</c><00:27:45.880><c> cave.</c>

00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:49.400
I<00:27:46.460><c> thought</c><00:27:46.619><c> you</c><00:27:46.799><c> told</c><00:27:47.019><c> me</c><00:27:47.180><c> to</c><00:27:47.259><c> go</c><00:27:47.440><c> here</c><00:27:48.000><c> and</c><00:27:48.240><c> he's</c><00:27:48.500><c> there</c><00:27:49.000><c> waiting.</c>

00:27:49.420 --> 00:27:51.700
So<00:27:49.660><c> he</c><00:27:49.859><c> says,</c><00:27:50.220><c> okay,</c><00:27:50.339><c> how</c><00:27:50.500><c> about</c><00:27:50.599><c> this?</c>

00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:55.519
I<00:27:52.339><c> have</c><00:27:52.519><c> been</c><00:27:52.700><c> very</c><00:27:53.180><c> jealous</c><00:27:53.660><c> for</c><00:27:54.180><c> Yahweh,</c><00:27:54.599><c> the</c><00:27:54.680><c> God</c><00:27:54.839><c> of</c><00:27:55.000><c> hosts.</c>

00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:58.319
For<00:27:56.200><c> the</c><00:27:56.380><c> people</c><00:27:56.559><c> of</c><00:27:56.680><c> Israel</c><00:27:56.940><c> have</c><00:27:57.200><c> forsaken</c><00:27:57.660><c> your</c><00:27:57.940><c> covenant,</c>

00:27:58.700 --> 00:27:59.940
thrown<00:27:58.940><c> down</c><00:27:59.180><c> your</c><00:27:59.420><c> altars,</c>

00:28:00.099 --> 00:28:01.180
killed<00:28:00.220><c> your</c><00:28:00.460><c> prophets</c><00:28:00.700><c> with</c><00:28:00.920><c> a</c><00:28:01.039><c> sword.</c>

00:28:01.299 --> 00:28:04.200
And<00:28:01.559><c> I,</c><00:28:01.779><c> even</c><00:28:01.960><c> I</c><00:28:02.259><c> only</c><00:28:02.460><c> am</c><00:28:02.619><c> left</c><00:28:02.900><c> and</c><00:28:03.279><c> they</c><00:28:03.500><c> seek</c><00:28:03.619><c> my</c><00:28:03.859><c> life</c><00:28:04.000><c> to</c>

00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:04.660
take<00:28:04.299><c> it</c><00:28:04.440><c> away.</c>

00:28:04.859 --> 00:28:09.519
Now,<00:28:05.099><c> this</c><00:28:05.279><c> is</c><00:28:05.519><c> a</c><00:28:05.619><c> fascinating</c><00:28:06.079><c> conglomeration</c><00:28:07.099><c> of</c><00:28:08.559><c> verses.</c>

00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:13.579
He<00:28:09.880><c> quotes</c><00:28:10.180><c> himself</c><00:28:10.980><c> right</c><00:28:11.420><c> here</c><00:28:12.160><c> from</c><00:28:12.700><c> the</c><00:28:12.859><c> last</c><00:28:13.119><c> chapter.</c>

00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:16.200
I,<00:28:14.960><c> even</c><00:28:15.220><c> I</c><00:28:15.539><c> only</c><00:28:15.759><c> am</c><00:28:15.960><c> left.</c>

00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:18.440
So<00:28:16.980><c> he</c><00:28:17.059><c> quotes</c><00:28:17.319><c> himself.</c>

00:28:18.619 --> 00:28:22.039
In<00:28:18.839><c> addition</c><00:28:19.160><c> to</c><00:28:19.339><c> that,</c><00:28:20.160><c> this</c><00:28:20.339><c> here,</c><00:28:21.019><c> I've</c><00:28:21.220><c> been</c><00:28:21.279><c> very</c><00:28:21.640><c> jealous.</c>

00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:24.500
I've<00:28:22.640><c> forsaken</c><00:28:23.039><c> or</c><00:28:23.339><c> they</c><00:28:23.519><c> have</c><00:28:23.680><c> forsaken</c><00:28:23.980><c> your</c><00:28:24.220><c> covenant.</c>

00:28:24.500 --> 00:28:27.250
This<00:28:24.880><c> is</c><00:28:25.059><c> a</c><00:28:25.140><c> quotation</c><00:28:25.440><c> of</c><00:28:25.640><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:28:26.000><c> chapter</c><00:28:26.400><c> four.</c>

00:28:27.380 --> 00:28:29.890
So<00:28:27.539><c> let's</c><00:28:27.599><c> just</c><00:28:27.799><c> go</c><00:28:28.019><c> back</c><00:28:28.359><c> to</c><00:28:28.619><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:28:29.039><c> four.</c>

Deuteronomy<00:28:32.859><c> four</c><00:28:33.779><c> versus</c><00:28:36.019><c> 23</c><00:28:36.740><c> to</c><00:28:36.839><c> 24.</c>

00:28:37.779 --> 00:28:39.920
See<00:28:37.920><c> if</c><00:28:38.039><c> you</c><00:28:38.299><c> hear</c><00:28:38.700><c> the</c><00:28:39.039><c> echo.</c>

00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.859
Deuteronomy<00:28:41.819><c> four,</c><00:28:42.200><c> 23</c><00:28:42.599><c> to</c><00:28:42.740><c> 24</c><00:28:43.160><c> says</c><00:28:43.599><c> this</c><00:28:44.500><c> is</c><00:28:44.859><c> by</c><00:28:45.039><c> the</c><00:28:45.180><c> way,</c>

00:28:45.859 --> 00:28:50.740
Moses<00:28:46.299><c> is</c><00:28:47.460><c> rehashing</c><00:28:49.019><c> of</c><00:28:49.400><c> what</c><00:28:49.619><c> happened</c><00:28:49.819><c> at</c><00:28:50.019><c> Mount</c><00:28:50.200><c> Sinai.</c>

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:54.220
So<00:28:51.400><c> Moses</c><00:28:51.640><c> is</c><00:28:51.920><c> telling</c><00:28:52.160><c> the</c><00:28:52.400><c> story</c><00:28:52.619><c> again</c><00:28:53.099><c> to</c><00:28:53.400><c> the</c><00:28:53.500><c> next</c><00:28:53.660><c> generation.</c>

00:28:54.500 --> 00:28:57.720
So<00:28:54.940><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:28:55.319><c> four,</c><00:28:55.660><c> verse</c><00:28:55.799><c> 23,</c><00:28:56.599><c> Moses</c><00:28:57.000><c> says,</c>

00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:01.279
take<00:28:58.039><c> care,</c><00:28:58.960><c> lest</c><00:28:59.180><c> you</c><00:28:59.519><c> forget</c><00:29:00.059><c> the</c><00:29:00.460><c> covenant</c><00:29:00.799><c> of</c><00:29:01.000><c> the</c><00:29:01.119><c> Lord</c>

00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:02.190

What<00:31:20.529><c> do</c><00:31:20.730><c> you</c><00:31:20.829><c> think</c><00:31:21.029><c> Elijah</c><00:31:21.410><c> expected</c><00:31:22.029><c> when</c><00:31:22.990><c> he</c><00:31:23.329><c> stood</c><00:31:23.609><c> in</c><00:31:24.910><c> the</c><00:31:25.730><c> cave</c><00:31:26.430><c> on</c>

00:31:28.049 --> 00:31:29.170
Mount<00:31:28.230><c> Sinai?</c>

00:31:30.250 --> 00:31:33.009
He's<00:31:30.509><c> waiting</c><00:31:30.869><c> for</c><00:31:31.910><c> the</c><00:31:32.069><c> earthquake.</c>

00:31:33.349 --> 00:31:34.210
He's<00:31:33.430><c> waiting</c><00:31:33.569><c> for</c><00:31:33.750><c> the</c><00:31:33.910><c> wind.</c>

00:31:34.470 --> 00:31:35.529
He's<00:31:34.730><c> waiting</c><00:31:34.910><c> for</c><00:31:35.069><c> the</c><00:31:35.269><c> fire.</c>

00:31:35.789 --> 00:31:38.269
He's<00:31:36.089><c> looking</c><00:31:36.329><c> for</c><00:31:36.690><c> a</c><00:31:36.930><c> renewal</c><00:31:37.269><c> here</c><00:31:37.549><c> of</c><00:31:37.730><c> the</c><00:31:37.910><c> covenant.</c>

00:31:38.769 --> 00:31:40.089
And<00:31:38.950><c> look</c><00:31:39.029><c> at</c><00:31:39.109><c> what</c><00:31:39.329><c> happens.</c>

00:31:46.289 --> 00:31:50.450
God<00:31:46.690><c> says,</c><00:31:47.150><c> leave</c><00:31:47.190><c> the</c><00:31:47.430><c> cave,</c><00:31:48.849><c> go</c><00:31:49.029><c> out</c><00:31:49.190><c> and</c><00:31:49.390><c> stand</c><00:31:49.529><c> on</c><00:31:49.670><c> the</c><00:31:49.769><c> mount</c><00:31:49.869><c> before</c><00:31:50.109><c> the</c><00:31:50.250><c> Lord.</c>

00:31:50.890 --> 00:31:55.670
Now,<00:31:52.250><c> if</c><00:31:52.369><c> you</c><00:31:52.549><c> were</c><00:31:52.710><c> Elijah</c><00:31:53.009><c> and</c><00:31:53.390><c> you're</c><00:31:53.630><c> recreating</c><00:31:54.049><c> Mount</c><00:31:54.329><c> Sinai,</c>

00:31:56.450 --> 00:31:58.470
how<00:31:56.630><c> would</c><00:31:56.769><c> you</c><00:31:56.950><c> feel</c><00:31:57.089><c> when</c><00:31:57.210><c> you're</c><00:31:57.349><c> told</c><00:31:57.569><c> this?</c>

00:31:58.950 --> 00:32:00.970
Go<00:31:59.109><c> out</c><00:31:59.309><c> and</c><00:31:59.509><c> stand</c><00:31:59.630><c> on</c><00:31:59.789><c> the</c><00:31:59.890><c> mount.</c>

00:32:01.809 --> 00:32:07.789
Keep<00:32:02.029><c> in</c><00:32:02.230><c> mind,</c><00:32:03.450><c> Moses</c><00:32:03.930><c> was</c><00:32:05.049><c> in</c><00:32:05.390><c> the</c><00:32:05.569><c> cave</c><00:32:05.869><c> the</c><00:32:06.670><c> whole</c><00:32:06.829><c> time,</c><00:32:07.150><c> right?</c>

00:32:07.829 --> 00:32:09.569
Because<00:32:08.130><c> if</c><00:32:08.269><c> he</c><00:32:08.430><c> saw</c><00:32:08.630><c> the</c><00:32:08.769><c> glory</c><00:32:09.009><c> of</c><00:32:09.190><c> God,</c><00:32:09.349><c> what</c><00:32:09.470><c> would</c><00:32:09.569><c> happen?</c>

00:32:10.349 --> 00:32:11.250
He<00:32:10.750><c> would</c><00:32:10.910><c> die.</c>

00:32:11.650 --> 00:32:13.890
God<00:32:11.809><c> says,</c><00:32:12.190><c> no</c><00:32:12.190><c> man</c><00:32:12.450><c> can</c><00:32:12.690><c> see</c><00:32:12.849><c> me</c><00:32:13.029><c> and</c><00:32:13.150><c> live,</c><00:32:13.309><c> so</c><00:32:13.509><c> I</c><00:32:13.630><c> will</c><00:32:13.750><c> put</c>

00:32:13.890 --> 00:32:14.509
you<00:32:14.009><c> in</c><00:32:14.109><c> the</c><00:32:14.289><c> cave.</c>

00:32:14.769 --> 00:32:16.910
I'll<00:32:14.970><c> cover</c><00:32:15.230><c> you</c><00:32:15.410><c> with</c><00:32:15.569><c> my</c><00:32:15.849><c> hand.</c>

00:32:17.930 --> 00:32:21.150
And<00:32:18.190><c> God</c><00:32:18.369><c> says,</c><00:32:18.829><c> Elijah,</c><00:32:19.190><c> get</c><00:32:20.150><c> out</c><00:32:20.289><c> of</c><00:32:20.369><c> the</c><00:32:20.490><c> cave.</c>

00:32:23.769 --> 00:32:25.269
You<00:32:23.890><c> know</c><00:32:23.930><c> what's</c><00:32:24.170><c> interesting</c><00:32:24.369><c> about</c><00:32:24.569><c> that?</c>

00:32:27.130 --> 00:32:28.430
He<00:32:27.529><c> doesn't.</c>

00:32:30.390 --> 00:32:33.410
Because<00:32:30.609><c> in</c><00:32:30.750><c> the</c><00:32:30.829><c> next</c><00:32:31.009><c> verse,</c><00:32:31.269><c> we're</c><00:32:31.329><c> told,</c><00:32:32.769><c> then</c><00:32:32.970><c> he</c><00:32:33.230><c> left</c>

00:32:33.410 --> 00:32:34.430
the<00:32:33.630><c> cave.</c>

00:32:35.450 --> 00:32:37.329
Elijah<00:32:35.849><c> refuses</c><00:32:36.250><c> to</c><00:32:37.130><c> leave.</c>

00:32:37.329 --> 00:32:41.069
This<00:32:38.069><c> is</c><00:32:39.329><c> where</c><00:32:39.470><c> he's</c><00:32:39.750><c> at</c><00:32:39.869><c> mentally</c><00:32:40.250><c> and</c><00:32:40.710><c> emotionally.</c>

00:32:41.190 --> 00:32:44.049
At<00:32:41.190><c> this</c><00:32:41.410><c> point,</c><00:32:41.569><c> he</c><00:32:41.730><c> says,</c><00:32:42.250><c> I</c><00:32:42.490><c> will</c><00:32:42.829><c> not</c><00:32:43.069><c> let</c><00:32:43.309><c> go,</c><00:32:43.869><c> right?</c>

00:32:44.049 --> 00:32:47.309
This<00:32:44.369><c> is</c><00:32:45.210><c> who</c><00:32:46.650><c> you</c><00:32:47.069><c> are.</c>

00:32:47.809 --> 00:32:50.450
You<00:32:47.990><c> are</c><00:32:48.410><c> the</c><00:32:48.630><c> earthquake,</c><00:32:49.289><c> the</c><00:32:49.490><c> wind,</c><00:32:49.930><c> the</c><00:32:50.170><c> fire.</c>

00:32:50.670 --> 00:32:52.069
I<00:32:50.890><c> am</c><00:32:51.089><c> the</c><00:32:51.349><c> prophet</c><00:32:51.589><c> of</c><00:32:51.869><c> fire.</c>

00:32:52.329 --> 00:32:54.250
I've<00:32:52.509><c> been</c><00:32:52.690><c> bringing</c><00:32:52.930><c> your</c><00:32:53.230><c> fire</c><00:32:53.410><c> on</c><00:32:53.569><c> the</c><00:32:53.789><c> people.</c>

00:32:54.390 --> 00:32:56.849
Show<00:32:54.869><c> me</c><00:32:55.210><c> who</c><00:32:55.470><c> you</c><00:32:55.809><c> are,</c><00:32:56.670><c> right?</c>

00:32:56.849 --> 00:32:58.089
Reaffirm<00:32:57.309><c> this</c><00:32:57.490><c> for</c><00:32:57.670><c> all</c><00:32:57.789><c> of</c><00:32:57.910><c> me.</c>

00:32:58.250 --> 00:33:00.069
So<00:32:58.390><c> Elijah</c><00:32:58.569><c> does</c><00:32:58.990><c> not</c><00:32:59.329><c> leave.</c>

00:33:02.069 --> 00:33:03.609
And<00:33:02.269><c> so</c><00:33:02.390><c> God</c><00:33:02.549><c> passes</c><00:33:02.869><c> by.</c>

00:33:04.150 --> 00:33:07.589
And<00:33:04.630><c> you</c><00:33:04.869><c> can</c><00:33:06.130><c> picture</c><00:33:06.329><c> him</c><00:33:06.529><c> standing</c><00:33:06.769><c> there,</c><00:33:07.049><c> watching</c><00:33:07.369><c> the</c>

00:33:07.589 --> 00:33:11.029
wind,<00:33:08.329><c> and</c><00:33:08.450><c> Elijah</c><00:33:08.630><c> thinking,</c><00:33:09.430><c> here</c><00:33:09.789><c> it</c><00:33:09.990><c> is,</c><00:33:10.690><c> right?</c>

00:33:11.230 --> 00:33:20.390
This<00:33:11.470><c> is</c><00:33:11.690><c> it,</c><00:33:13.329><c> the</c><00:33:13.529><c> glory</c><00:33:13.809><c> of</c><00:33:14.049><c> God,</c><00:33:17.210><c> and</c><00:33:17.289><c> then</c><00:33:17.470><c> the</c><00:33:17.569><c> wind</c><00:33:17.670><c> stops,</c><00:33:19.829><c> and</c>

00:33:20.390 --> 00:33:21.349
there's<00:33:20.609><c> nothing.</c>

00:33:22.230 --> 00:33:24.569
And<00:33:22.470><c> then</c><00:33:22.589><c> the</c><00:33:22.789><c> ground</c><00:33:23.009><c> starts</c><00:33:23.329><c> to</c><00:33:23.589><c> shake,</c><00:33:23.789><c> and</c><00:33:23.910><c> Elijah</c><00:33:24.170><c> thinks,</c><00:33:24.390><c> this</c>

00:33:24.569 --> 00:33:28.089
is<00:33:24.769><c> it,</c><00:33:24.910><c> this</c><00:33:25.069><c> is</c><00:33:25.250><c> the</c><00:33:25.390><c> one,</c><00:33:26.970><c> and</c><00:33:27.250><c> nothing.</c>

00:33:28.509 --> 00:33:31.150
And<00:33:28.789><c> then</c><00:33:29.029><c> finally,</c><00:33:30.109><c> fire.</c>

00:33:31.289 --> 00:33:34.289
And<00:33:31.569><c> can</c><00:33:31.730><c> you</c><00:33:31.890><c> picture</c><00:33:32.190><c> his</c><00:33:32.430><c> mind</c><00:33:32.630><c> going</c><00:33:32.849><c> through</c><00:33:33.049><c> Deuteronomy,</c><00:33:33.970><c> out</c><00:33:34.089><c> of</c><00:33:34.190><c> the</c>

midst<00:33:34.410><c> of</c><00:33:34.589><c> the</c><00:33:34.710><c> fire,</c>

00:33:34.930 --> 00:33:36.509
out<00:33:35.049><c> of</c><00:33:35.130><c> the</c><00:33:35.230><c> midst</c><00:33:35.309><c> of</c><00:33:35.490><c> the</c><00:33:35.569><c> fire,</c><00:33:35.869><c> and</c><00:33:36.049><c> thinking,</c><00:33:36.269><c> that's</c>

00:33:36.509 --> 00:33:39.450
right,<00:33:36.769><c> that's</c><00:33:37.650><c> why</c><00:33:38.049><c> God</c><00:33:38.349><c> saved</c><00:33:38.589><c> this</c><00:33:38.809><c> one</c><00:33:38.930><c> for</c><00:33:39.150><c> last.</c>

00:33:39.910 --> 00:33:43.470
This<00:33:40.269><c> is</c><00:33:40.470><c> where</c><00:33:40.589><c> his</c><00:33:40.849><c> glory</c><00:33:41.150><c> will</c><00:33:41.329><c> be</c><00:33:41.569><c> revealed,</c><00:33:42.309><c> because</c><00:33:42.849><c> the</c>

00:33:46.509 --> 00:33:50.210
God<00:33:46.869><c> spoke</c><00:33:47.369><c> out</c><00:33:47.630><c> of</c><00:33:47.710><c> the</c><00:33:47.950><c> midst</c><00:33:48.210><c> of</c><00:33:48.390><c> the</c><00:33:48.609><c> fire,</c><00:33:48.930><c> and</c><00:33:49.890><c> here's</c>

00:33:50.210 --> 00:33:50.890
Elijah<00:33:50.470><c> thinking,</c>

00:33:51.329 --> 00:33:57.970
finally,<00:33:51.809><c> I've</c><00:33:52.109><c> waited</c><00:33:52.529><c> to</c><00:33:53.069><c> see</c><00:33:53.390><c> the</c><00:33:53.589><c> glory</c><00:33:53.829><c> of</c><00:33:54.049><c> God,</c><00:33:57.490><c> and</c><00:33:57.809><c> the</c>

00:33:59.430 --> 00:34:07.009
And<00:34:00.109><c> Elijah</c><00:34:00.589><c> is</c><00:34:01.910><c> standing</c><00:34:02.150><c> there</c><00:34:02.869><c> in</c><00:34:03.109><c> the</c><00:34:03.269><c> cave,</c><00:34:06.869><c> and</c><00:34:06.869><c> you</c>

00:34:09.650 --> 00:34:19.750
He<00:34:10.030><c> hears</c><00:34:10.809><c> a</c><00:34:12.429><c> gentle</c><00:34:13.590><c> whisper,</c><00:34:17.409><c> and</c><00:34:17.889><c> you</c><00:34:18.010><c> know</c><00:34:18.110><c> what's</c><00:34:18.269><c> unfortunate</c><00:34:18.630><c> about</c><00:34:18.849><c> that?</c>

00:34:20.050 --> 00:34:22.989
We're<00:34:20.289><c> not</c><00:34:20.530><c> told</c><00:34:20.769><c> what</c><00:34:20.929><c> he</c><00:34:21.130><c> heard</c><00:34:21.250><c> the</c><00:34:21.449><c> whisper</c><00:34:21.630><c> say.</c>

00:34:25.329 --> 00:34:29.630
And<00:34:25.809><c> I</c><00:34:26.150><c> think</c><00:34:26.429><c> that's</c><00:34:28.130><c> because</c><00:34:28.389><c> he</c><00:34:28.510><c> would</c><00:34:28.670><c> have</c><00:34:28.869><c> actually</c><00:34:29.210><c> heard</c><00:34:29.429><c> the</c>

But<00:34:36.570><c> he</c><00:34:36.690><c> doesn't,</c><00:34:38.070><c> and</c><00:34:38.190><c> he</c><00:34:38.309><c> didn't.</c>

00:34:40.570 --> 00:34:44.630
So<00:34:40.889><c> instead,</c><00:34:41.309><c> he</c><00:34:42.449><c> hears</c><00:34:42.829><c> something,</c><00:34:43.329><c> and</c><00:34:43.969><c> that's</c><00:34:44.349><c> when</c><00:34:44.469><c> he</c>

00:34:44.630 --> 00:34:45.250
comes<00:34:44.889><c> out.</c>

00:34:45.610 --> 00:34:48.170

the<00:34:48.389><c> Lord</c><00:34:48.510><c> was</c><00:34:48.670><c> not</c><00:34:48.750><c> in</c><00:34:48.909><c> the</c><00:34:49.030><c> fire,</c>

00:34:53.989 --> 00:34:57.550
and<00:34:54.389><c> when</c><00:34:54.789><c> Elijah</c><00:34:55.309><c> heard</c><00:34:55.590><c> it,</c><00:34:56.130><c> he</c><00:34:56.230><c> hears</c><00:34:56.449><c> something,</c><00:34:57.369><c> and</c><00:34:57.409><c> he</c>

00:34:57.550 --> 00:34:59.670
goes<00:34:57.769><c> scrambling</c><00:34:58.510><c> out</c><00:34:58.690><c> of</c><00:34:58.789><c> the</c><00:34:58.929><c> cave.</c>

00:34:59.769 --> 00:35:02.469
He<00:35:00.010><c> wraps</c><00:35:00.250><c> his</c><00:35:00.530><c> face</c><00:35:00.670><c> in</c><00:35:00.849><c> his</c><00:35:01.050><c> cloak,</c><00:35:01.550><c> and</c><00:35:01.690><c> went</c><00:35:01.809><c> out</c><00:35:02.070><c> and</c><00:35:02.210><c> stood</c><00:35:02.349><c> at</c>

00:35:04.429 --> 00:35:07.530
So<00:35:04.610><c> he</c><00:35:05.030><c> runs</c><00:35:05.349><c> out,</c><00:35:05.590><c> and</c><00:35:05.670><c> he</c><00:35:05.730><c> thinks,</c><00:35:06.030><c> this</c><00:35:06.309><c> is</c><00:35:06.510><c> where</c><00:35:06.610><c> God</c><00:35:06.829><c> is.</c>

00:35:11.050 --> 00:35:16.489

00:35:24.050 --> 00:35:29.289
