00:01:24.340 --> 00:01:28.719
That's<00:01:24.719><c> enjoined</c><00:01:25.060><c> upon</c><00:01:25.280><c> us</c><00:01:25.680><c> in</c><00:01:25.959><c> Scripture.</c><00:01:27.280><c> But</c><00:01:27.659><c> sometimes</c>

00:02:17.860 --> 00:02:26.199
Well,<00:02:18.719><c> God</c><00:02:19.020><c> says,</c><00:02:19.819><c> to</c><00:02:20.259><c> balance</c><00:02:20.639><c> that</c><00:02:20.960><c> out,</c><00:02:22.620><c> God</c><00:02:22.879><c> says,</c><00:02:23.379><c> if</c><00:02:23.580><c> Yahweh</c><00:02:24.180><c> should</c><00:02:24.539><c> mark</c><00:02:24.919><c> iniquity,</c><00:02:25.939><c> who</c>

00:23:58.900 --> 00:24:04.660
Syria<00:23:59.259><c> might</c><00:23:59.579><c> just</c><00:23:59.980><c> decide</c><00:24:01.000><c> to</c><00:24:02.480><c> come</c><00:24:02.779><c> in</c><00:24:02.940><c> on</c><00:24:03.099><c> the</c><00:24:03.299><c> side</c><00:24:03.519><c> of</c><00:24:03.819><c> Moab.</c>

00:24:05.740 --> 00:24:10.700
If<00:24:05.880><c> you</c><00:24:06.099><c> come</c><00:24:06.259><c> in</c><00:24:06.440><c> over</c><00:24:06.680><c> the</c><00:24:06.920><c> top</c><00:24:07.220><c> also,</c><00:24:09.279><c> that's</c><00:24:09.599><c> the</c><00:24:09.920><c> usual</c><00:24:10.440><c> way.</c>

00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:12.839
I<00:24:10.779><c> mean,</c><00:24:10.960><c> this</c><00:24:11.059><c> is</c><00:24:11.200><c> all</c><00:24:11.400><c> desert</c><00:24:11.680><c> down</c><00:24:11.980><c> here.</c><00:24:12.440><c> In</c><00:24:12.559><c> fact,</c><00:24:12.720><c> we</c>

00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:13.200
know<00:24:13.119><c> that.</c>

00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:15.240
That's<00:24:13.440><c> the</c><00:24:13.500><c> whole</c><00:24:13.680><c> point</c><00:24:13.819><c> of</c><00:24:13.980><c> 2</c><00:24:14.119><c> Kings</c><00:24:14.359><c> chapter</c><00:24:14.640><c> 3,</c><00:24:14.880><c> by</c><00:24:15.079><c> the</c>

00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:16.700
way,<00:24:15.380><c> that</c><00:24:15.500><c> it</c><00:24:15.619><c> is</c><00:24:15.859><c> desert.</c>

00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:22.420
It's<00:24:17.680><c> the</c><00:24:18.039><c> least</c><00:24:18.660><c> likely</c><00:24:19.200><c> path</c><00:24:19.799><c> that</c><00:24:20.359><c> an</c><00:24:20.779><c> army</c><00:24:21.039><c> would</c><00:24:21.380><c> take</c><00:24:21.799><c> because</c><00:24:22.059><c> it's</c><00:24:22.359><c> a</c>

00:24:22.420 --> 00:24:24.900
pretty<00:24:22.579><c> difficult</c><00:24:23.599><c> situation.</c>

00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:27.859
The<00:24:25.220><c> normal</c><00:24:25.599><c> route</c><00:24:25.799><c> is</c><00:24:25.960><c> to</c><00:24:26.099><c> go</c><00:24:26.240><c> over</c><00:24:26.460><c> the</c><00:24:26.660><c> top.</c>

00:24:28.099 --> 00:24:31.180
Moab<00:24:28.279><c> would</c><00:24:28.440><c> be</c><00:24:28.740><c> ready.</c><00:24:29.220><c> They'd</c><00:24:29.420><c> have</c><00:24:29.519><c> their</c><00:24:29.740><c> garrisons</c><00:24:30.160><c> ready.</c>

00:24:31.539 --> 00:24:34.039
The<00:24:31.700><c> other</c><00:24:31.940><c> thing</c><00:24:32.279><c> too</c><00:24:32.640><c> is</c><00:24:32.920><c> if</c><00:24:33.019><c> you</c><00:24:33.220><c> go</c><00:24:33.339><c> over</c><00:24:33.559><c> the</c><00:24:33.740><c> top,</c><00:24:33.940><c> well,</c>

00:24:34.059 --> 00:24:36.759
you<00:24:34.099><c> haven't</c><00:24:34.400><c> quite</c><00:24:34.799><c> cemented</c><00:24:35.440><c> the</c><00:24:35.559><c> relationship</c><00:24:36.160><c> with</c><00:24:36.460><c> Edom</c>

00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:38.279

00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:43.640
So<00:24:38.720><c> you</c><00:24:38.859><c> go</c><00:24:39.140><c> down,</c><00:24:40.599><c> across,</c><00:24:41.440><c> and</c><00:24:41.740><c> up,</c><00:24:42.400><c> and</c><00:24:42.539><c> enlist</c><00:24:42.839><c> Edom</c><00:24:43.319><c> along</c>

00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:44.559
the<00:24:43.839><c> way.</c>

00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:48.480
Now,<00:24:45.779><c> sounds</c><00:24:45.859><c> fine</c><00:24:46.299><c> to</c><00:24:46.559><c> me.</c><00:24:46.859><c> Look,</c><00:24:47.240><c> as</c><00:24:47.420><c> I</c><00:24:47.619><c> said,</c><00:24:47.980><c> don't</c><00:24:48.240><c> look</c>

00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:50.240
at<00:24:48.579><c> me</c><00:24:48.759><c> for</c><00:24:48.900><c> any</c><00:24:49.079><c> great</c><00:24:49.460><c> military</c><00:24:49.859><c> strategy.</c>

00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:53.480
But<00:24:50.799><c> just</c><00:24:51.059><c> on</c><00:24:51.220><c> the</c><00:24:51.420><c> surface</c><00:24:51.740><c> of</c><00:24:51.960><c> it,</c><00:24:52.460><c> you'd</c><00:24:52.660><c> think,</c><00:24:52.900><c> oh,</c><00:24:53.099><c> okay,</c>

00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:58.539
well,<00:24:55.200><c> I</c><00:24:55.400><c> suppose</c><00:24:55.700><c> it</c><00:24:55.920><c> makes</c><00:24:56.140><c> sense.</c><00:24:57.019><c> Looks</c><00:24:57.339><c> okay.</c>

00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:02.079
You<00:24:59.599><c> catch</c><00:24:59.920><c> your</c><00:25:00.140><c> enemy</c><00:25:00.339><c> by</c><00:25:00.720><c> surprise,</c><00:25:01.240><c> and</c><00:25:01.400><c> that</c><00:25:01.619><c> seems</c><00:25:01.859><c> to</c>

00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:06.700
be<00:25:02.160><c> one</c><00:25:02.339><c> of</c><00:25:02.500><c> the</c><00:25:03.019><c> key</c><00:25:03.240><c> lessons</c><00:25:03.960><c> in</c><00:25:05.299><c> military</c><00:25:05.740><c> strategy.</c>

00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:10.420
So<00:25:06.960><c> what</c><00:25:07.400><c> could</c><00:25:07.619><c> go</c><00:25:07.880><c> wrong?</c><00:25:09.079><c> Well,</c><00:25:09.819><c> brethren</c><00:25:10.000><c> and</c><00:25:10.119><c> sisters,</c>

00:25:10.619 --> 00:25:11.599
everything<00:25:10.900><c> could</c><00:25:11.140><c> go</c><00:25:11.380><c> wrong.</c>

00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:13.759

00:25:14.140 --> 00:25:17.680
So<00:25:14.200><c> the</c><00:25:14.299><c> king</c><00:25:14.480><c> of</c><00:25:14.599><c> Israel</c><00:25:14.960><c> went,</c><00:25:15.420><c> and</c><00:25:15.460><c> the</c><00:25:15.519><c> king</c><00:25:15.720><c> of</c><00:25:16.000><c> Judah,</c><00:25:17.039><c> and</c><00:25:17.140><c> the</c><00:25:17.259><c> king</c><00:25:17.460><c> of</c>

00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:31.160
That's<00:25:22.859><c> how</c><00:25:23.079><c> long</c><00:25:23.200><c> it</c><00:25:23.440><c> took.</c><00:25:24.619><c> And</c><00:25:24.900><c> oh,</c><00:25:25.559><c> no,</c><00:25:27.539><c> there</c><00:25:29.079><c> was</c><00:25:29.440><c> no</c><00:25:30.279><c> water</c><00:25:30.859><c> for</c>

00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:42.380
We'd<00:25:38.000><c> forgot</c><00:25:38.500><c> to</c><00:25:38.920><c> send</c><00:25:39.119><c> out</c><00:25:39.339><c> our</c><00:25:39.759><c> scouts</c><00:25:40.099><c> to</c><00:25:40.380><c> just</c><00:25:40.740><c> check</c><00:25:41.339><c> that</c>

roughly,<00:25:55.980><c> roughly,</c><00:25:56.920><c> around</c><00:25:57.279><c> the</c><00:25:57.740><c> border,</c><00:25:59.099><c> there</c><00:25:59.220><c> is</c><00:25:59.440><c> this</c><00:25:59.900><c> wadi.</c><00:26:02.460><c> And</c><00:26:02.559><c> this</c><00:26:02.859><c> wadi,</c><00:26:04.859><c> very</c><00:26:05.180><c> rarely,</c><00:26:05.579><c> in</c>

00:26:05.660 --> 00:26:09.099
fact,<00:26:06.420><c> the</c><00:26:06.519><c> historians</c><00:26:06.799><c> say</c><00:26:07.099><c> it</c><00:26:07.559><c> never</c><00:26:08.359><c> dried</c><00:26:08.700><c> up.</c>

00:26:09.420 --> 00:26:12.019
It<00:26:09.480><c> might</c><00:26:09.559><c> have</c><00:26:09.660><c> been</c><00:26:09.740><c> a</c><00:26:09.819><c> bit</c><00:26:10.000><c> low,</c><00:26:10.740><c> but</c><00:26:10.880><c> it</c><00:26:11.180><c> never</c><00:26:11.400><c> dried</c><00:26:11.680><c> up.</c>

00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:15.380
So<00:26:12.640><c> the</c><00:26:12.960><c> strategists</c><00:26:13.380><c> would</c><00:26:13.579><c> have</c><00:26:13.680><c> said,</c><00:26:14.180><c> okay,</c><00:26:14.799><c> well,</c><00:26:15.240><c> look,</c>

00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:16.980
it's<00:26:15.740><c> a</c><00:26:15.920><c> seven</c><00:26:16.220><c>-day</c><00:26:16.559><c> journey,</c>

00:26:16.980 --> 00:26:19.400
and<00:26:17.119><c> it's</c><00:26:17.259><c> a</c><00:26:17.339><c> bit</c><00:26:17.460><c> risky,</c><00:26:18.000><c> and</c><00:26:18.019><c> so</c><00:26:18.119><c> on</c><00:26:18.279><c> and</c><00:26:18.380><c> so</c><00:26:18.539><c> forth.</c><00:26:19.019><c> But</c><00:26:19.180><c> at</c>

00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:22.980

00:26:25.900 --> 00:26:31.180

00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:48.180
There's<00:26:44.440><c> no</c><00:26:44.779><c> water.</c><00:26:45.519><c> The</c><00:26:45.660><c> drought</c><00:26:45.900><c> was</c><00:26:46.160><c> so</c><00:26:46.539><c> severe</c><00:26:47.039><c> that</c><00:26:47.559><c> even</c>

And<00:32:30.420><c> so</c><00:32:30.500><c> when</c><00:32:30.700><c> things</c><00:32:31.000><c> go</c><00:32:31.299><c> wrong,</c><00:32:32.200><c> Yahweh</c><00:32:32.460><c> is</c><00:32:32.900><c> always</c><00:32:33.579><c> the</c>

00:32:34.779 --> 00:32:39.480
always<00:32:35.759><c> the</c><00:32:36.019><c> bad</c><00:32:36.359><c> guy,</c><00:32:36.859><c> always</c><00:32:38.019><c> making</c><00:32:38.599><c> life</c><00:32:39.000><c> miserable.</c>

00:32:39.740 --> 00:32:42.079
He<00:32:39.779><c> never</c><00:32:40.079><c> gives</c><00:32:40.299><c> us</c><00:32:40.559><c> anything</c><00:32:40.940><c> grand.</c>

00:32:42.900 --> 00:32:45.000
And<00:32:43.059><c> sometimes</c><00:32:43.380><c> we</c><00:32:43.519><c> can</c><00:32:43.640><c> have</c><00:32:43.759><c> a</c><00:32:43.900><c> picture</c><00:32:44.119><c> of</c><00:32:44.259><c> God</c><00:32:44.480><c> which</c><00:32:44.700><c> is</c>

totally<00:32:45.400><c> negative.</c>

00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:50.960
And<00:32:47.960><c> then</c><00:32:48.079><c> we</c><00:32:48.220><c> come</c><00:32:48.500><c> across</c><00:32:50.039><c> Jehoshaphat.</c>

00:32:51.220 --> 00:32:55.660
By<00:32:51.640><c> contrast,</c><00:32:52.599><c> brethren</c><00:32:52.740><c> and</c><00:32:52.940><c> sisters,</c><00:32:53.039><c> look</c><00:32:53.259><c> at</c><00:32:53.380><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:32:54.019><c> in</c><00:32:54.420><c> verse</c><00:32:54.700><c> 11.</c>

00:32:56.099 --> 00:32:59.799
His<00:32:56.440><c> character</c><00:32:56.859><c> was</c><00:32:57.140><c> exposed</c><00:32:57.839><c> under</c><00:32:58.400><c> trial</c><00:32:58.940><c> as</c><00:32:59.400><c> well.</c>

00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:05.099
His<00:33:00.900><c> first</c><00:33:01.880><c> response</c><00:33:02.920><c> is</c><00:33:03.740><c> a</c><00:33:03.960><c> question.</c>

00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:12.180
Is<00:33:05.900><c> there</c><00:33:06.359><c> not</c><00:33:06.880><c> here</c><00:33:07.400><c> a</c><00:33:08.180><c> prophet</c><00:33:08.599><c> of</c><00:33:09.079><c> Yahweh</c><00:33:09.819><c> that</c><00:33:10.559><c> we</c><00:33:10.960><c> may</c><00:33:11.240><c> inquire</c><00:33:11.920><c> of</c>

00:33:12.180 --> 00:33:14.740
Yahweh<00:33:13.220><c> by</c><00:33:13.640><c> him?</c>

00:33:16.980 --> 00:33:20.720
That<00:33:17.519><c> seems</c><00:33:17.880><c> to</c><00:33:18.180><c> suggest</c><00:33:18.480><c> that</c><00:33:18.839><c> no</c><00:33:19.180><c> one</c><00:33:19.440><c> had</c><00:33:19.660><c> up</c><00:33:19.779><c> until</c><00:33:20.160><c> now,</c>

00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:25.359
and<00:33:21.240><c> I</c><00:33:21.420><c> include</c><00:33:21.700><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:33:22.279><c> in</c><00:33:22.420><c> that</c><00:33:22.660><c> category,</c><00:33:23.619><c> had</c><00:33:23.759><c> inquired</c><00:33:24.259><c> of</c><00:33:24.460><c> Yahweh</c><00:33:24.819><c> at</c><00:33:25.039><c> all.</c>

00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:28.339
Because<00:33:26.079><c> if</c><00:33:26.279><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:33:26.880><c> had</c><00:33:27.099><c> inquired</c><00:33:27.640><c> of</c><00:33:27.799><c> Yahweh,</c>

00:33:28.339 --> 00:33:34.160
God<00:33:28.799><c> would</c><00:33:29.019><c> have</c><00:33:29.119><c> said,</c><00:33:29.759><c> hey,</c><00:33:29.799><c> listen,</c><00:33:30.619><c> mate,</c><00:33:33.220><c> this</c><00:33:33.759><c> is</c><00:33:34.039><c> the</c>

00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:35.700
third<00:33:34.480><c> time.</c>

00:33:36.740 --> 00:33:38.460
Pull<00:33:36.980><c> your</c><00:33:37.140><c> head</c><00:33:37.299><c> in.</c>

00:33:38.900 --> 00:33:44.460
Don't<00:33:39.400><c> do</c><00:33:39.819><c> this,</c><00:33:41.279><c> or</c><00:33:41.420><c> you'll</c><00:33:41.619><c> be</c><00:33:41.940><c> destroyed,</c><00:33:43.440><c> or</c><00:33:43.619><c> whatever.</c>

00:33:45.019 --> 00:33:48.880
So<00:33:45.240><c> it</c><00:33:45.359><c> seems</c><00:33:45.680><c> that</c><00:33:45.980><c> everyone's</c><00:33:46.440><c> slipping</c><00:33:46.619><c> up,</c><00:33:47.160><c> and</c><00:33:47.259><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:33:48.000><c> slips</c><00:33:48.339><c> up</c><00:33:48.619><c> too.</c>

00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:52.339
But<00:33:49.339><c> he</c><00:33:49.619><c> regathers</c><00:33:50.099><c> his</c><00:33:50.460><c> composure</c><00:33:50.960><c> and</c><00:33:51.079><c> says,</c><00:33:51.619><c> well,</c><00:33:51.900><c> okay,</c>

00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:55.819
obviously<00:33:53.079><c> we've</c><00:33:53.380><c> got</c><00:33:53.559><c> an</c><00:33:53.880><c> issue</c><00:33:54.259><c> with</c><00:33:55.400><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:33:55.819 --> 00:33:59.000
But<00:33:56.160><c> is</c><00:33:56.880><c> there</c><00:33:57.079><c> not</c><00:33:57.279><c> here</c><00:33:57.480><c> a</c><00:33:57.619><c> prophet</c><00:33:57.880><c> of</c><00:33:58.119><c> Yahweh</c><00:33:58.400><c> that</c><00:33:58.559><c> we</c><00:33:58.759><c> may</c>

00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:00.759
inquire<00:33:59.519><c> of</c><00:33:59.640><c> Yahweh</c><00:34:00.140><c> by</c><00:34:00.500><c> him?</c>

00:34:01.019 --> 00:34:04.279
And<00:34:01.339><c> one</c><00:34:01.500><c> of</c><00:34:01.599><c> the</c><00:34:01.700><c> king</c><00:34:01.920><c> of</c><00:34:02.059><c> Israel's</c><00:34:02.799><c> servants</c><00:34:03.079><c> answered</c><00:34:03.599><c> and</c><00:34:03.759><c> said,</c>

00:34:04.579 --> 00:34:10.480
here<00:34:04.859><c> is</c><00:34:05.240><c> Elisha,</c><00:34:06.259><c> the</c><00:34:06.519><c> son</c><00:34:06.720><c> of</c><00:34:07.099><c> Shaphat,</c><00:34:08.219><c> which</c><00:34:08.579><c> poured</c><00:34:09.139><c> water</c><00:34:09.920><c> on</c>

00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:12.320
the<00:34:10.599><c> hands</c><00:34:10.900><c> of</c><00:34:11.139><c> Elijah.</c>

00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:15.820
Oh.

00:34:17.219 --> 00:34:20.280
Incidentally,<00:34:17.900><c> just</c><00:34:18.260><c> as</c><00:34:18.440><c> an</c><00:34:18.619><c> aside,</c><00:34:19.320><c> it</c><00:34:19.619><c> says</c><00:34:19.760><c> a</c><00:34:19.900><c> lot</c><00:34:20.019><c> about</c>

00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:22.980
the<00:34:20.420><c> relationship</c><00:34:20.980><c> between</c><00:34:21.280><c> Elisha</c><00:34:21.760><c> and</c><00:34:21.940><c> Elijah.</c>

00:34:24.900 --> 00:34:31.519
Elijah<00:34:25.800><c> was</c><00:34:26.019><c> that</c><00:34:26.260><c> rough,</c><00:34:27.380><c> craggy,</c><00:34:29.559><c> eat</c><00:34:29.840><c> rusty</c><00:34:30.300><c> buckets</c><00:34:30.780><c> for</c>

00:34:33.260 --> 00:34:37.139
And<00:34:33.380><c> here's</c><00:34:33.719><c> Elisha,</c><00:34:35.280><c> come</c><00:34:35.420><c> from</c><00:34:35.679><c> a</c><00:34:36.139><c> fairly</c><00:34:36.360><c> refined,</c>

00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:38.980
wealthy<00:34:37.840><c> background.</c>

00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:40.699
Who's<00:34:39.440><c> serving</c><00:34:39.639><c> who?</c>

00:34:41.639 --> 00:34:47.980
He<00:34:42.039><c> poured</c><00:34:42.420><c> water</c><00:34:43.139><c> on</c><00:34:43.579><c> the</c><00:34:43.780><c> hands</c><00:34:44.400><c> of</c><00:34:44.980><c> Elijah</c><00:34:45.440><c> and</c><00:34:46.039><c> did</c><00:34:46.260><c> it</c><00:34:46.519><c> lovingly.</c>

00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:52.159
Brethren<00:34:50.320><c> and</c><00:34:50.539><c> sisters,</c><00:34:50.780><c> go</c><00:34:50.840><c> and</c><00:34:50.980><c> do</c><00:34:51.119><c> likewise.</c>

00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:55.639
But<00:34:52.980><c> that's</c><00:34:53.199><c> just</c><00:34:53.400><c> an</c><00:34:53.500><c> aside.</c><00:34:53.800><c> Let's</c><00:34:53.960><c> go</c><00:34:54.159><c> back</c><00:34:54.340><c> to</c><00:34:54.480><c> the</c><00:34:54.599><c> main</c><00:34:54.739><c> record.</c>

00:34:56.619 --> 00:35:00.659
Well,<00:34:56.920><c> before</c><00:34:57.239><c> we</c><00:34:57.460><c> go</c><00:34:57.619><c> onto</c><00:34:57.780><c> that,</c><00:34:58.199><c> that's</c><00:34:58.760><c> interesting</c><00:34:59.179><c> too.</c>

00:35:01.619 --> 00:35:05.820
Elisha<00:35:01.960><c> didn't</c><00:35:02.320><c> live</c><00:35:02.800><c> in</c><00:35:03.820><c> the</c><00:35:04.019><c> border</c><00:35:04.179><c> between</c><00:35:04.519><c> Edom</c><00:35:04.739><c> and</c><00:35:04.880><c> Moab.</c>

00:35:07.019 --> 00:35:10.659
How<00:35:07.300><c> come</c><00:35:07.519><c> Elisha's</c><00:35:08.059><c> there?</c><00:35:08.800><c> Who</c><00:35:09.059><c> asked</c><00:35:09.300><c> him</c><00:35:09.480><c> to</c><00:35:09.679><c> tag</c><00:35:09.900><c> along?</c>

00:35:12.380 --> 00:35:14.739
I<00:35:12.659><c> think</c><00:35:12.860><c> Elisha</c><00:35:13.300><c> could</c><00:35:13.559><c> see</c><00:35:13.739><c> what</c><00:35:13.900><c> was</c><00:35:14.099><c> going</c><00:35:14.239><c> to</c><00:35:14.440><c> happen.</c>

00:35:14.739 --> 00:35:19.760
And<00:35:15.320><c> he</c><00:35:15.440><c> was</c><00:35:15.599><c> going</c><00:35:15.739><c> to</c><00:35:15.920><c> be</c><00:35:16.179><c> there</c><00:35:16.820><c> ready</c><00:35:17.280><c> when</c><00:35:18.139><c> everything</c><00:35:18.460><c> fell</c><00:35:18.719><c> to</c><00:35:18.880><c> bits.</c>

00:35:19.940 --> 00:35:21.360
He<00:35:20.059><c> could</c><00:35:20.219><c> have</c><00:35:20.440><c> stayed</c><00:35:20.619><c> at</c><00:35:20.840><c> home.</c>

00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:25.880
He<00:35:22.340><c> decided</c><00:35:22.760><c> to</c><00:35:22.940><c> go</c><00:35:23.139><c> with</c><00:35:23.380><c> them</c><00:35:23.960><c> and</c><00:35:24.920><c> he</c><00:35:25.099><c> was</c><00:35:25.239><c> very</c><00:35:25.460><c> useful.</c>

00:35:26.219 --> 00:35:28.059
And<00:35:26.340><c> look</c><00:35:26.440><c> at</c><00:35:26.579><c> this,</c><00:35:26.820><c> verse</c><00:35:26.980><c> 12.</c>

00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:33.599
And<00:35:28.639><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:35:29.340><c> said,</c><00:35:30.639><c> the</c><00:35:30.800><c> word</c><00:35:31.420><c> of</c><00:35:31.860><c> Yahweh</c><00:35:32.300><c> is</c><00:35:32.659><c> with</c><00:35:32.900><c> him.</c>

00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:40.260

00:49:35.909 --> 00:49:38.670
Now<00:49:36.130><c> whilst</c><00:49:36.349><c> it</c><00:49:36.610><c> says</c><00:49:36.889><c> water</c><00:49:37.269><c> in</c><00:49:37.449><c> the</c><00:49:37.610><c> record,</c><00:49:38.070><c> brethren</c><00:49:38.210><c> and</c><00:49:38.449><c> sisters,</c>

00:49:38.929 --> 00:49:41.010
think<00:49:39.309><c> of</c><00:49:39.469><c> the</c><00:49:39.590><c> way</c><00:49:39.750><c> the</c><00:49:40.010><c> Moabites</c><00:49:40.489><c> were</c><00:49:40.750><c> responding.</c>

00:49:41.170 --> 00:49:50.489
There<00:49:41.469><c> is</c><00:49:41.869><c> no</c><00:49:42.269><c> water</c><00:49:43.170><c> and</c><00:49:45.630><c> there</c><00:49:46.030><c> hasn't</c><00:49:46.489><c> been</c><00:49:46.769><c> any</c><00:49:47.190><c> rain</c><00:49:47.809><c> overnight</c><00:49:48.670><c> in</c><00:49:49.429><c> Moab.</c>

00:49:51.349 --> 00:49:57.389
So<00:49:51.710><c> what's</c><00:49:52.070><c> this</c><00:49:52.429><c> liquid,</c><00:49:52.869><c> this</c><00:49:53.230><c> red</c><00:49:53.789><c> liquid</c><00:49:54.690><c> in</c><00:49:56.789><c> the</c><00:49:57.130><c> wadi?</c>

00:49:57.389 --> 00:50:00.690
It's<00:49:58.070><c> not</c><00:49:58.329><c> water,</c><00:49:59.610><c> can't</c><00:49:59.929><c> be</c><00:50:00.130><c> water.</c>

00:50:00.949 --> 00:50:01.789
There's<00:50:01.030><c> been</c><00:50:01.190><c> no</c><00:50:01.469><c> rain.</c>

00:50:01.869 --> 00:50:06.429
They<00:50:02.010><c> didn't</c><00:50:02.150><c> know</c><00:50:02.349><c> anything</c><00:50:02.550><c> about</c><00:50:03.090><c> things</c><00:50:03.389><c> happening</c><00:50:03.769><c> overnight</c><00:50:04.230><c> from</c><00:50:04.469><c> Edom.</c>

00:50:06.929 --> 00:50:08.429
They've<00:50:07.250><c> had</c><00:50:07.409><c> a</c><00:50:07.630><c> blue.</c>

00:50:09.329 --> 00:50:13.929
The<00:50:09.570><c> three</c><00:50:09.929><c> kings</c><00:50:10.449><c> have</c><00:50:10.949><c> had</c><00:50:11.110><c> a</c><00:50:11.289><c> war</c><00:50:11.530><c> amongst</c><00:50:12.110><c> themselves.</c>

00:50:14.550 --> 00:50:18.030
And<00:50:14.670><c> look,</c><00:50:15.170><c> this</c><00:50:15.590><c> fire</c><00:50:16.010><c> in</c><00:50:16.250><c> the</c><00:50:16.449><c> background,</c><00:50:17.369><c> it</c><00:50:17.449><c> was</c><00:50:17.610><c> the</c><00:50:17.750><c> time</c><00:50:17.889><c> of</c>

00:50:18.030 --> 00:50:19.050
the<00:50:18.170><c> morning</c><00:50:18.429><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:50:19.369 --> 00:50:21.650
Incidentally,<00:50:19.809><c> that</c><00:50:19.989><c> tells</c><00:50:20.289><c> us</c><00:50:20.530><c> a</c><00:50:20.590><c> little</c><00:50:20.789><c> bit</c><00:50:21.409><c> about</c>

00:50:21.650 --> 00:50:23.090
Elisha's<00:50:22.170><c> influence,</c>

00:50:23.429 --> 00:50:27.130
that<00:50:23.630><c> they're</c><00:50:24.210><c> actually</c><00:50:24.829><c> putting</c><00:50:25.570><c> together</c><00:50:26.030><c> the</c><00:50:26.309><c> morning</c><00:50:26.650><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:50:27.130 --> 00:50:29.949
So<00:50:27.289><c> they're</c><00:50:27.590><c> observing</c><00:50:28.150><c> things</c><00:50:28.730><c> under</c><00:50:28.989><c> the</c><00:50:29.170><c> law.</c>

00:50:30.030 --> 00:50:31.789
We'll<00:50:30.090><c> just</c><00:50:30.269><c> leave</c><00:50:30.389><c> that</c><00:50:30.550><c> for</c><00:50:30.710><c> the</c><00:50:30.829><c> time</c><00:50:30.989><c> being.</c>

00:50:32.010 --> 00:50:35.329
So<00:50:32.010><c> there's</c><00:50:33.190><c> smoke</c><00:50:33.630><c> in</c><00:50:33.989><c> the</c><00:50:34.210><c> background.</c>

00:50:36.429 --> 00:50:41.150
There's<00:50:36.690><c> this</c><00:50:37.369><c> red</c><00:50:37.750><c> liquid</c><00:50:38.289><c> in</c><00:50:38.710><c> this</c><00:50:39.489><c> area</c><00:50:39.949><c> here.</c>

00:50:42.570 --> 00:50:46.130
It<00:50:42.610><c> can</c><00:50:42.730><c> only</c><00:50:43.050><c> be</c><00:50:43.309><c> blood</c><00:50:43.630><c> and</c><00:50:43.829><c> that's</c><00:50:44.289><c> destruction</c><00:50:44.789><c> with</c><00:50:45.070><c> the</c><00:50:45.250><c> fires.</c>

00:50:46.650 --> 00:50:48.650
How<00:50:47.050><c> Moab</c><00:50:47.469><c> to</c><00:50:47.789><c> the</c><00:50:48.230><c> spoil.</c>

00:50:48.869 --> 00:50:50.269
They've<00:50:49.130><c> all</c><00:50:49.309><c> destroyed</c><00:50:49.789><c> each</c><00:50:50.090><c> other.</c>

00:50:50.429 --> 00:50:53.190
We'll<00:50:50.730><c> just</c><00:50:50.969><c> go</c><00:50:51.170><c> in</c><00:50:51.349><c> and</c><00:50:51.610><c> plunder</c><00:50:51.849><c> the</c><00:50:52.090><c> whole</c><00:50:52.369><c> lot.</c>

00:50:53.750 --> 00:50:57.929
They<00:50:54.309><c> didn't</c><00:50:54.570><c> realize</c><00:50:55.369><c> that</c><00:50:56.369><c> the</c><00:50:56.670><c> water</c><00:50:57.130><c> that</c><00:50:57.289><c> they</c><00:50:57.690><c> thought</c>

00:50:57.929 --> 00:50:58.710
never<00:50:58.329><c> existed</c>

00:50:58.710 --> 00:51:01.170
was<00:50:58.989><c> actually</c><00:50:59.309><c> reflecting</c><00:50:59.710><c> the</c><00:50:59.969><c> red</c><00:51:00.150><c> hills.</c>

00:51:01.449 --> 00:51:03.389
It<00:51:01.449><c> wasn't</c><00:51:01.610><c> blood</c><00:51:01.809><c> at</c><00:51:02.010><c> all.</c>

00:51:03.429 --> 00:51:05.670
So<00:51:03.750><c> Moab</c><00:51:04.250><c> to</c><00:51:04.469><c> the</c><00:51:04.809><c> spoil.</c>

00:51:05.769 --> 00:51:09.889
That's<00:51:05.949><c> what</c><00:51:06.070><c> they</c><00:51:06.409><c> say</c><00:51:06.789><c> in</c><00:51:07.150><c> verse</c><00:51:09.170><c> 23.</c>

00:51:10.389 --> 00:51:11.510
They<00:51:10.550><c> said,</c><00:51:10.989><c> this</c><00:51:10.989><c> is</c><00:51:11.269><c> blood.</c>

00:51:11.630 --> 00:51:14.010
The<00:51:11.710><c> kings</c><00:51:11.889><c> are</c><00:51:12.110><c> surely</c><00:51:12.469><c> slain</c><00:51:12.750><c> and</c><00:51:12.929><c> they</c><00:51:13.210><c> have</c><00:51:13.269><c> smitten</c><00:51:13.469><c> one</c><00:51:13.670><c> another.</c>

00:51:14.309 --> 00:51:15.369

00:51:15.590 --> 00:51:17.469
When<00:51:15.750><c> they</c><00:51:15.989><c> came</c><00:51:16.269><c> to</c><00:51:16.449><c> the</c><00:51:16.590><c> camp</c><00:51:16.769><c> of</c><00:51:17.070><c> Israel,</c>

00:51:17.929 --> 00:51:20.829
the<00:51:18.130><c> Israelites</c><00:51:18.409><c> rose</c><00:51:18.849><c> up</c><00:51:19.110><c> and</c><00:51:19.469><c> smote</c><00:51:19.670><c> the</c><00:51:19.929><c> Moabites</c><00:51:20.409><c> so</c><00:51:20.690><c> that</c>

00:51:20.829 --> 00:51:22.110
they<00:51:21.030><c> fled</c><00:51:21.250><c> before</c><00:51:21.670><c> them.</c>

00:51:22.110 --> 00:51:25.670
But<00:51:22.550><c> they</c><00:51:22.789><c> went</c><00:51:23.050><c> forward</c><00:51:23.469><c> smiting</c><00:51:23.929><c> the</c><00:51:24.170><c> Moabites</c><00:51:24.690><c> even</c><00:51:25.269><c> in</c>

00:51:25.670 --> 00:51:27.530
their<00:51:25.949><c> country.</c>

00:51:28.510 --> 00:51:32.210
And<00:51:28.710><c> so</c><00:51:28.909><c> there</c><00:51:29.070><c> is</c><00:51:29.210><c> a</c><00:51:29.389><c> wonderful</c><00:51:29.869><c> victory</c><00:51:30.429><c> by</c><00:51:31.250><c> these</c><00:51:31.630><c> three</c><00:51:31.929><c> kings.</c>

00:51:32.329 --> 00:51:35.150
They<00:51:32.510><c> beat</c><00:51:32.769><c> down</c><00:51:33.030><c> the</c><00:51:33.269><c> cities</c><00:51:33.670><c> and</c><00:51:33.929><c> on</c><00:51:34.030><c> every</c><00:51:34.309><c> good</c><00:51:34.550><c> piece</c><00:51:34.769><c> of</c><00:51:34.949><c> land</c>

00:51:35.150 --> 00:51:38.030

00:51:38.170 --> 00:51:42.349
They<00:51:38.389><c> stopped</c><00:51:38.650><c> all</c><00:51:39.010><c> the</c><00:51:39.150><c> wells</c><00:51:39.369><c> of</c><00:51:39.650><c> water</c><00:51:39.869><c> and</c><00:51:40.110><c> so</c><00:51:40.309><c> on</c><00:51:40.809><c> and</c><00:51:40.989><c> so</c><00:51:41.289><c> on.</c>

00:51:43.090 --> 00:51:45.909
And,<00:51:43.269><c> brethren</c><00:51:43.449><c> and</c><00:51:43.710><c> sisters,</c><00:51:43.869><c> they</c><00:51:44.250><c> had</c><00:51:44.690><c> the</c><00:51:45.030><c> victory</c><00:51:45.550><c> that</c>

00:51:45.909 --> 00:51:46.949

00:51:46.949 --> 00:51:52.449

00:51:56.789 --> 00:52:02.309
And<00:51:56.869><c> in</c><00:51:57.030><c> verse</c><00:51:57.190><c> 26,</c><00:51:59.590><c> a</c><00:51:59.809><c> desperate</c><00:52:00.550><c> king</c><00:52:01.010><c> of</c><00:52:01.309><c> Moab.</c>

00:52:03.210 --> 00:52:05.349
A<00:52:03.429><c> desperate</c><00:52:04.110><c> king</c><00:52:04.710><c> of</c><00:52:04.929><c> Moab.</c>

00:52:05.710 --> 00:52:08.349
Here<00:52:05.829><c> they</c><00:52:06.010><c> all</c><00:52:06.309><c> are</c><00:52:06.650><c> pushing</c><00:52:07.030><c> against</c><00:52:07.389><c> Moab,</c><00:52:07.829><c> slaughtering</c>

00:52:08.349 --> 00:52:09.190
his<00:52:08.610><c> people,</c>

00:52:09.409 --> 00:52:11.949
marring<00:52:09.809><c> every</c><00:52:10.550><c> well</c><00:52:10.809><c> and</c><00:52:11.090><c> all</c><00:52:11.190><c> that</c><00:52:11.389><c> sort</c><00:52:11.550><c> of</c><00:52:11.710><c> stuff,</c>

00:52:15.690 --> 00:52:18.989
And<00:52:16.170><c> Moab</c><00:52:16.309><c> says,</c><00:52:16.869><c> hey,</c><00:52:17.030><c> well</c><00:52:17.190><c> look,</c><00:52:17.570><c> what</c><00:52:17.710><c> do</c><00:52:17.849><c> I</c><00:52:17.929><c> do</c><00:52:18.070><c> now?</c>

00:52:19.269 --> 00:52:20.670
I'm<00:52:19.750><c> gone.</c>

00:52:22.389 --> 00:52:26.869
And<00:52:22.550><c> so</c><00:52:22.750><c> in</c><00:52:22.909><c> verse</c><00:52:23.150><c> 26,</c><00:52:24.969><c> when</c><00:52:25.110><c> the</c><00:52:25.329><c> king</c><00:52:25.510><c> of</c><00:52:25.829><c> Moab</c><00:52:26.210><c> saw</c><00:52:26.670><c> that</c>

00:52:26.869 --> 00:52:30.150
the<00:52:27.090><c> battle</c><00:52:27.309><c> was</c><00:52:27.750><c> too</c><00:52:28.309><c> sore</c><00:52:28.630><c> for</c><00:52:29.090><c> him,</c>

00:52:30.610 --> 00:52:35.190
he<00:52:30.889><c> took</c><00:52:31.170><c> with</c><00:52:31.329><c> him</c><00:52:31.769><c> seven</c><00:52:32.110><c> hundred</c><00:52:32.889><c> men</c><00:52:33.289><c> that</c><00:52:33.630><c> drew</c><00:52:33.869><c> swords</c>

00:52:35.230 --> 00:52:39.329
to<00:52:35.710><c> break</c><00:52:36.110><c> through</c><00:52:36.409><c> even</c><00:52:36.750><c> under</c><00:52:36.989><c> the</c><00:52:37.170><c> king</c><00:52:37.389><c> of</c><00:52:38.050><c> Edom,</c><00:52:39.170><c> but</c>

00:52:39.329 --> 00:52:40.030
they<00:52:39.550><c> could</c><00:52:39.809><c> not.</c>

00:52:40.309 --> 00:52:41.789
What<00:52:40.510><c> he</c><00:52:40.650><c> was</c><00:52:40.849><c> doing,</c><00:52:41.210><c> he</c><00:52:41.269><c> said,</c><00:52:41.429><c> well</c><00:52:41.550><c> look,</c>

00:52:41.789 --> 00:52:45.150
I'm<00:52:41.949><c> not</c><00:52:42.190><c> ever</c><00:52:42.530><c> going</c><00:52:42.710><c> to</c><00:52:42.789><c> get</c><00:52:42.889><c> Israel</c><00:52:43.269><c> and</c><00:52:43.489><c> Judah</c><00:52:43.670><c> on</c><00:52:44.050><c> side.</c>

00:52:45.469 --> 00:52:47.030
I<00:52:45.489><c> mean,</c><00:52:45.650><c> they're</c><00:52:45.929><c> brothers.</c>

00:52:48.150 --> 00:52:51.150
But<00:52:48.409><c> Edom</c><00:52:48.670><c> doesn't</c><00:52:48.969><c> have</c><00:52:49.250><c> to</c><00:52:49.409><c> be</c><00:52:49.590><c> involved</c><00:52:49.989><c> in</c><00:52:50.210><c> this.</c>

00:52:51.570 --> 00:52:56.610
They're<00:52:51.909><c> not</c><00:52:52.130><c> related</c><00:52:52.789><c> really</c><00:52:53.789><c> to</c><00:52:54.949><c> Israel</c><00:52:55.530><c> and</c><00:52:55.829><c> Judah.</c>

00:52:56.869 --> 00:52:58.849
They've<00:52:57.170><c> got</c><00:52:57.289><c> more</c><00:52:57.590><c> in</c><00:52:57.889><c> common</c><00:52:58.090><c> with</c><00:52:58.349><c> us.</c>

00:52:58.949 --> 00:53:01.590
I<00:52:59.190><c> mean,</c><00:52:59.190><c> they've</c><00:52:59.590><c> been</c><00:52:59.809><c> under</c><00:53:00.070><c> the</c><00:53:00.269><c> thumb</c><00:53:00.429><c> as</c><00:53:00.750><c> well.</c>

00:53:01.730 --> 00:53:05.190
Maybe<00:53:02.210><c> if</c><00:53:02.489><c> I</c><00:53:02.670><c> pick</c><00:53:02.809><c> my</c><00:53:03.230><c> seven</c><00:53:03.769><c> strongest</c><00:53:04.630><c> best</c><00:53:05.030><c> men,</c>

00:53:05.389 --> 00:53:08.809
I'll<00:53:05.849><c> punch</c><00:53:06.210><c> through</c><00:53:06.650><c> the</c><00:53:06.889><c> lines</c><00:53:07.210><c> of</c><00:53:07.789><c> Israel</c><00:53:08.210><c> and</c><00:53:08.469><c> Judah</c>

00:53:08.809 --> 00:53:11.889
and<00:53:09.449><c> get</c><00:53:09.769><c> to</c><00:53:09.989><c> the</c><00:53:10.150><c> king</c><00:53:10.369><c> of</c><00:53:10.690><c> Edom</c><00:53:10.829><c> and</c><00:53:11.210><c> his</c><00:53:11.469><c> army</c><00:53:11.630><c> and</c><00:53:11.730><c> say,</c>

00:53:12.230 --> 00:53:13.869
listen,<00:53:12.409><c> mate,</c><00:53:12.550><c> what</c><00:53:12.730><c> are</c><00:53:12.849><c> you</c><00:53:13.030><c> doing?</c>

00:53:14.070 --> 00:53:16.110
Why<00:53:14.250><c> don't</c><00:53:14.469><c> we</c><00:53:14.929><c> forge</c><00:53:15.289><c> an</c><00:53:15.550><c> alliance?</c>

00:53:16.250 --> 00:53:19.449
And<00:53:16.389><c> I'll</c><00:53:16.630><c> make</c><00:53:16.789><c> it</c><00:53:16.969><c> good</c><00:53:17.090><c> for</c><00:53:17.329><c> you</c><00:53:17.530><c> if</c><00:53:17.710><c> you</c><00:53:17.949><c> do</c><00:53:18.170><c> forge</c><00:53:18.429><c> an</c><00:53:18.650><c> alliance</c>

00:53:19.750 --> 00:53:21.449
and<00:53:20.230><c> turn</c><00:53:20.650><c> against</c><00:53:21.010><c> these</c><00:53:21.289><c> people.</c>

00:53:21.530 --> 00:53:23.030
They're<00:53:21.829><c> not</c><00:53:22.050><c> interested</c><00:53:22.489><c> in</c><00:53:22.769><c> you.</c>

00:53:23.110 --> 00:53:25.150
You<00:53:23.449><c> come</c><00:53:23.750><c> with</c><00:53:24.010><c> me.</c>

00:53:25.849 --> 00:53:32.610
So<00:53:26.030><c> he</c><00:53:26.250><c> punches</c><00:53:26.710><c> through,</c><00:53:27.510><c> tries</c><00:53:27.789><c> to</c><00:53:28.289><c> enlist</c><00:53:28.610><c> the</c><00:53:29.070><c> support</c><00:53:29.650><c> of</c>

00:53:32.610 --> 00:53:33.570
the<00:53:32.750><c> king</c><00:53:32.989><c> of</c><00:53:33.210><c> Edom,</c>

00:53:33.570 --> 00:53:36.309
but<00:53:33.929><c> fails,</c><00:53:34.849><c> verse</c><00:53:35.309><c> 26.</c>

00:53:36.429 --> 00:53:38.630
He<00:53:36.630><c> could</c><00:53:36.989><c> not.</c>

00:53:40.210 --> 00:53:43.449
And<00:53:40.809><c> then,</c><00:53:41.690><c> brethren</c><00:53:41.909><c> and</c><00:53:41.969><c> sisters,</c><00:53:42.429><c> verse</c><00:53:42.769><c> 27,</c>

00:53:43.610 --> 00:53:48.809
which<00:53:43.909><c> just</c><00:53:44.429><c> absolutely</c><00:53:45.409><c> appalls</c><00:53:46.409><c> anyone</c><00:53:46.849><c> who</c><00:53:47.150><c> reads</c><00:53:47.449><c> this</c><00:53:47.849><c> verse.</c>

00:53:50.510 --> 00:53:53.429
You<00:53:50.750><c> see,</c><00:53:51.329><c> things</c><00:53:51.590><c> are</c><00:53:51.769><c> really</c><00:53:52.030><c> bad</c><00:53:52.329><c> now.</c>

00:53:55.949 --> 00:54:00.510
His<00:53:56.550><c> last</c><00:53:57.150><c> strategy</c><00:53:58.329><c> was</c><00:53:58.630><c> to</c><00:53:58.909><c> punch</c><00:53:59.190><c> through</c><00:53:59.849><c> and</c><00:54:00.190><c> get</c><00:54:00.329><c> Edom</c>

00:54:00.510 --> 00:54:00.949
on<00:54:00.750><c> side,</c>

00:54:00.949 --> 00:54:01.730
and<00:54:01.210><c> he</c><00:54:01.369><c> failed.</c>

00:54:01.730 --> 00:54:02.329
Why?

00:54:02.909 --> 00:54:06.929
Well,<00:54:03.550><c> it</c><00:54:03.570><c> wasn't</c><00:54:03.949><c> his</c><00:54:04.210><c> last</c><00:54:04.670><c> strategy</c><00:54:05.210><c> at</c><00:54:05.610><c> all.</c>

00:54:07.610 --> 00:54:09.710
It<00:54:07.610><c> was</c><00:54:07.809><c> his</c><00:54:08.250><c> second</c><00:54:08.489><c> last</c><00:54:08.829><c> one.</c>

00:54:11.550 --> 00:54:17.570
The<00:54:11.750><c> last</c><00:54:12.369><c> one</c><00:54:12.789><c> was</c><00:54:13.090><c> to</c><00:54:13.329><c> make</c><00:54:13.570><c> an</c><00:54:14.010><c> appeal</c><00:54:14.489><c> to</c><00:54:14.849><c> his</c><00:54:15.170><c> god,</c><00:54:16.230><c> Chemosh.</c>

00:54:18.690 --> 00:54:21.349
Chemosh<00:54:19.110><c> believed</c><00:54:19.530><c> in</c><00:54:19.949><c> substitution,</c>

00:54:21.570 --> 00:54:25.630
or<00:54:21.690><c> the</c><00:54:22.769><c> religion</c><00:54:23.170><c> of</c><00:54:23.369><c> Chemosh</c><00:54:23.789><c> had</c><00:54:24.170><c> substitution</c><00:54:24.969><c> atonement</c>

00:54:25.630 --> 00:54:29.590
as<00:54:25.969><c> part</c><00:54:26.210><c> of</c><00:54:26.389><c> its</c><00:54:27.849><c> doctrinal</c><00:54:28.530><c> statements.</c>

00:54:30.130 --> 00:54:33.510
And<00:54:30.929><c> you</c><00:54:31.309><c> appeased</c><00:54:31.809><c> the</c><00:54:32.110><c> wrath</c><00:54:32.510><c> of</c><00:54:32.869><c> Chemosh</c>

00:54:33.510 --> 00:54:39.510
by<00:54:34.050><c> offering</c><00:54:34.730><c> to</c><00:54:35.050><c> Chemosh</c><00:54:35.909><c> your</c><00:54:36.250><c> most</c><00:54:36.989><c> valued</c><00:54:38.010><c> possession.</c>

00:54:42.530 --> 00:54:47.710
So<00:54:42.530><c> there's</c><00:54:43.210><c> Israel,</c><00:54:43.650><c> pushing,</c><00:54:44.769><c> pushing,</c><00:54:45.909><c> pushing</c><00:54:46.269><c> the</c><00:54:46.630><c> advantage.</c>

00:54:47.989 --> 00:54:52.230
And<00:54:48.170><c> there's</c><00:54:48.789><c> Misha,</c><00:54:49.369><c> failing,</c><00:54:50.190><c> failing,</c><00:54:51.050><c> tries</c><00:54:51.269><c> to</c><00:54:51.530><c> punch</c><00:54:51.769><c> through,</c>

00:54:52.590 --> 00:54:53.570
fails<00:54:52.889><c> yet</c><00:54:53.170><c> again.</c>

00:54:53.869 --> 00:54:56.829
And<00:54:54.050><c> so</c><00:54:54.150><c> it's</c><00:54:54.429><c> really</c><00:54:55.130><c> crunch</c><00:54:55.530><c> time</c><00:54:55.769><c> now</c><00:54:56.130><c> for</c><00:54:56.349><c> Misha.</c>

00:54:56.829 --> 00:54:58.130
