Sam Bailey – Deborah and Barak – Class 3 – Exhortation – Jael – The Displaced Wife

1
00:00:01,520 –> 00:00:04,000
Thank you, Brother Michael.
So we then look forward to words

2
00:00:04,000 –> 00:00:07,400
of exhortation from our brother
Sam to the title jail, the

3
00:00:07,400 –> 00:00:25,730
displaced wife, Brother Sam.
Thanks, Brother Andrew, and good

4
00:00:25,730 –> 00:00:28,610
morning, my dear brothers and
sisters in the Lord Jesus

5
00:00:28,610 –> 00:00:31,570
Christ.
Well, Sister Sarah and myself,

6
00:00:31,570 –> 00:00:32,610
obviously.
Bring the love and.

7
00:00:32,610 –> 00:00:35,370
Fraternal greetings of the
brothers and sisters that meet

8
00:00:35,370 –> 00:00:38,250
at Christchurch North and we’re
loving our time here and thank

9
00:00:38,250 –> 00:00:40,010
you for making us all feel so
welcome.

10
00:00:40,050 –> 00:00:44,960
So thank you.
Well, so far in our story and

11
00:00:45,040 –> 00:00:48,080
maybe just to recap what what we
intend to do this morning is

12
00:00:48,080 –> 00:00:50,320
spend some time.
And have a look at the story of

13
00:00:50,320 –> 00:00:52,200
jail.
Right, the wife of.

14
00:00:52,200 –> 00:00:55,320
Heba the Kenai, We’re going to
have a look at the the rather

15
00:00:55,320 –> 00:00:59,600
gruesome story, I suppose, of
the way in which she decides to

16
00:00:59,600 –> 00:01:03,320
nail Sisera to the floor.
And in our considerations.

17
00:01:03,320 –> 00:01:06,640
We want to appreciate, I
suppose, as we get into that

18
00:01:06,640 –> 00:01:11,080
story of the work of our Lord
Jesus Christ in how He

19
00:01:11,080 –> 00:01:15,360
accomplished His work in putting
to death the and crushing the

20
00:01:15,360 –> 00:01:19,400
serpent’s head.
So just a a recap as we get into

21
00:01:19,400 –> 00:01:22,240
the story, we’ve we’ve come to a
realization and an understanding

22
00:01:22,240 –> 00:01:26,520
as both Bayrack and Deborah did,
of the oppression of Jabin and

23
00:01:26,520 –> 00:01:30,040
Sisera and the fact that that
had come as a result.

24
00:01:30,040 –> 00:01:33,000
Of the people’s.
Faithlessness and turning to

25
00:01:33,040 –> 00:01:35,040
idolatry and worship and that
had.

26
00:01:35,040 –> 00:01:37,840
Come, as we saw in our first
session, as a result of the

27
00:01:37,840 –> 00:01:39,240
parents.
Failure.

28
00:01:39,440 –> 00:01:41,400
To transfer the truth and a
failure.

29
00:01:41,400 –> 00:01:43,680
Of the children.
To personalize the truth for

30
00:01:43,680 –> 00:01:46,160
themselves.
And as a result, there was a

31
00:01:46,160 –> 00:01:49,600
complete leadership vacuum that
now occurred across the nation

32
00:01:49,880 –> 00:01:53,600
as they failed to seize their
inheritance and remove the

33
00:01:53,600 –> 00:01:56,840
Canaanites out of their land
that they had been allotted to

34
00:01:56,840 –> 00:02:01,640
by inheritance.
And as a result, we saw 20 years

35
00:02:01,680 –> 00:02:06,640
of oppression that was there to
turn the nation’s heart back to

36
00:02:06,640 –> 00:02:10,320
God in seeking deliverance.
And we saw into that leadership

37
00:02:10,360 –> 00:02:13,800
vacuum that Deborah, the mother
of Israel, the nation’s

38
00:02:13,800 –> 00:02:19,440
prophetess, comes to give sweet
honey counsel to those that

39
00:02:19,440 –> 00:02:21,280
sought judgement.
And we saw.

40
00:02:21,360 –> 00:02:24,320
Her carefully coach.
Bayrack and inspire him to a.

41
00:02:24,560 –> 00:02:27,320
Role that he was hesitantly not
fulfilling.

42
00:02:28,280 –> 00:02:30,000
The judge that God had raised up
that.

43
00:02:30,000 –> 00:02:31,560
Wasn’t doing his.
Job and yet.

44
00:02:31,640 –> 00:02:35,600
With careful coaching and
support, she inspires him to

45
00:02:35,600 –> 00:02:39,360
take the lead, and in so doing,
he inspires the rest of the

46
00:02:39,360 –> 00:02:43,080
nation to.
Come and over overthrow Sisera

47
00:02:43,080 –> 00:02:46,920
and the enemy and the army and
we watched his Bay rack and

48
00:02:46,920 –> 00:02:51,600
10,000 men committed what would
have been military suicide on

49
00:02:51,600 –> 00:02:56,440
foot running down charging off
Mount Tabor with swords like

50
00:02:56,440 –> 00:03:00,480
toothpicks to a toothpicks to a
gunfight with and wipe out

51
00:03:00,480 –> 00:03:02,640
sister and his entire army and
we witnessed.

52
00:03:02,640 –> 00:03:06,080
As Yahweh responded to that
leadership and that faithfulness

53
00:03:06,320 –> 00:03:08,480
as He.
Unleashed upon sister and his.

54
00:03:08,480 –> 00:03:11,760
Army as he.
Opened the heavens and dropped

55
00:03:11,760 –> 00:03:13,880
and.
Flooded the the Jezreel Valley,

56
00:03:14,440 –> 00:03:18,200
halting sisters advance right in
their tracks, enabling Bayrek

57
00:03:18,200 –> 00:03:21,880
and his men to take them on hip
and thigh, smoke them close,

58
00:03:21,880 –> 00:03:25,680
hand to hand combat until they
wiped them out, chasing them all

59
00:03:25,680 –> 00:03:29,120
the way back, the heresies of
the gentiles in the mud until

60
00:03:29,120 –> 00:03:33,320
there was not a man left.
Or so they thought.

61
00:03:34,520 –> 00:03:36,120
And so we pick.
Up now the story.

62
00:03:36,440 –> 00:03:38,920
In.
Judges Chapter 4 and.

63
00:03:38,920 –> 00:03:43,200
Verse. 16.
And it says, But Bayrak pursued

64
00:03:43,200 –> 00:03:47,600
after the Chariots, and after
the host unto hereseth of the

65
00:03:47,600 –> 00:03:51,520
Gentiles, and all the host of
Sisera fell upon the.

66
00:03:51,520 –> 00:03:55,120
Edge of the sword and there was
not a man left and as.

67
00:03:55,120 –> 00:03:58,600
Bayrak picked through the
destruction of the battlefield.

68
00:03:58,720 –> 00:04:02,760
He was looking for one man 1.
Man was what he was.

69
00:04:02,760 –> 00:04:05,320
Interested in, but he was
nowhere to be found.

70
00:04:06,240 –> 00:04:08,040
Because in the confusion of the
battle.

71
00:04:08,440 –> 00:04:12,160
Scissor had lighted off his.
Chariot and quietly and

72
00:04:12,160 –> 00:04:16,240
elusively had slipped away
unnoticed as he speed away on.

73
00:04:16,240 –> 00:04:19,240
Foot.
And naturally, Bayrak assumed

74
00:04:19,240 –> 00:04:21,800
that Scissor would be amongst
the Chariots and the host as

75
00:04:21,800 –> 00:04:23,600
they raced for heresy to the
Gentiles.

76
00:04:23,600 –> 00:04:24,400
But he.
Wasn’t.

77
00:04:24,960 –> 00:04:28,920
This was a military strategist,
the man who put everything in a

78
00:04:28,920 –> 00:04:32,400
ray, and he activated Plan B.
As he escaped.

79
00:04:32,400 –> 00:04:34,000
Out the side and running like
the.

80
00:04:34,000 –> 00:04:37,000
Wind as fast as his legs could
carry him.

81
00:04:38,360 –> 00:04:42,360
He was running in the entirely
different direction to the

82
00:04:42,360 –> 00:04:44,920
nation.
All his men were running to

83
00:04:44,920 –> 00:04:47,640
Heresyth of the Gentiles, but
no, not Sisera.

84
00:04:47,640 –> 00:04:52,760
Sisera was on his way to the
entirely opposite direction, to

85
00:04:52,960 –> 00:04:57,320
Heber and Jails Tent, who lived
in the plain of Zenaium.

86
00:04:58,280 –> 00:05:01,920
He was running to that place.
Why?

87
00:05:02,440 –> 00:05:04,640
Why did Sisera?
Think that that would be a good

88
00:05:04,640 –> 00:05:06,040
idea?
Well, first reason is.

89
00:05:06,280 –> 00:05:07,960
Well, it was the entirely.
Opposite.

90
00:05:07,960 –> 00:05:10,440
Direction to everybody else.
Right, first lesson.

91
00:05:10,920 –> 00:05:13,840
So he was running from where
everyone else would, naturally.

92
00:05:13,840 –> 00:05:17,040
Assume he was going.
But if we read the record.

93
00:05:17,040 –> 00:05:21,600
Carefully, verse 17 sees that he
was running there because there

94
00:05:21,600 –> 00:05:24,440
was an agreement that he had and
he was running to a specific

95
00:05:24,440 –> 00:05:26,720
location.
Look what it sees in verse 17.

96
00:05:27,120 –> 00:05:30,960
Howbeit, Sisera fled away on his
feet.

97
00:05:31,560 –> 00:05:37,280
To the tent of jail, the wife of
Heba the Kenai.

98
00:05:37,760 –> 00:05:40,040
He was running to a specific
location.

99
00:05:40,160 –> 00:05:42,600
He wasn’t running to catch up
with Heba, he was running to

100
00:05:42,600 –> 00:05:45,960
catch up into the tent of jail,
the wife of Heba the Kenai.

101
00:05:46,080 –> 00:05:51,160
Why would Sisua run here?
Well.

102
00:05:51,400 –> 00:05:54,360
Interestingly enough.
There is a.

103
00:05:54,360 –> 00:05:57,800
Custom in Israel with respect to
the woman.

104
00:05:58,280 –> 00:06:03,560
So women in Israel had their own
tent for their own things,

105
00:06:04,280 –> 00:06:06,440
something we try to avoid
nowadays.

106
00:06:07,720 –> 00:06:09,320
Well, everything’s hers anyway,
right?

107
00:06:09,560 –> 00:06:14,760
So so.
He’s on his way to his to to

108
00:06:14,880 –> 00:06:17,960
Heber’s tent.
We know, look, look at history.

109
00:06:17,960 –> 00:06:20,000
We don’t have time to turn
there, but you know, Isaac

110
00:06:20,000 –> 00:06:24,480
brought Rebecca to his mother’s
Sara’s to his mother Sara’s

111
00:06:24,480 –> 00:06:26,200
tent, right?
Genesis 24.

112
00:06:26,600 –> 00:06:29,400
And we know always in the story
when we look at Genesis 18 and

113
00:06:29,400 –> 00:06:30,840
the Song of Solomon, that they
had their.

114
00:06:30,920 –> 00:06:33,480
Own tent.
Only men that were allowed in

115
00:06:33,480 –> 00:06:35,640
that tent.
Was the father.

116
00:06:35,840 –> 00:06:40,000
Or the husband.
Of that woman and therefore if

117
00:06:40,000 –> 00:06:41,480
you were searching.
For a man.

118
00:06:41,640 –> 00:06:44,200
You certainly wouldn’t go
looking for them in a woman.

119
00:06:44,200 –> 00:06:48,960
‘S tent that was totally off.
Off record off no out of bounds,

120
00:06:50,640 –> 00:06:54,160
but what we also.
Know is what it sees in verse 17

121
00:06:54,160 –> 00:06:56,520
is it sees.
There was more than just the

122
00:06:56,520 –> 00:06:57,920
fact.
That there was a tent that he

123
00:06:57,920 –> 00:06:59,760
could go to that and people.
Wouldn’t look for him.

124
00:06:59,880 –> 00:07:04,480
There was a peace accord.
Between Jabin, king of Canaan

125
00:07:04,960 –> 00:07:06,120
and the.
House.

126
00:07:06,400 –> 00:07:07,640
Of.
Heba the Kenite.

127
00:07:08,160 –> 00:07:11,680
And we’ve now introduced in the
story to two people who are

128
00:07:11,760 –> 00:07:14,920
integral to the story, Heba the
Kenite.

129
00:07:15,320 –> 00:07:17,040
And.
Jail the wife.

130
00:07:17,400 –> 00:07:18,560
Of.
Heba, the count.

131
00:07:18,560 –> 00:07:20,160
Isn’t it an interesting
expression?

132
00:07:20,280 –> 00:07:24,280
Jail the wife of Heba the Kenai.
It’s the title that gets given

133
00:07:24,280 –> 00:07:26,640
of her all the time.
Jail the wife of Heba the Kenai.

134
00:07:26,680 –> 00:07:30,000
You think, wow, there’s
something important about this

135
00:07:30,000 –> 00:07:33,160
man, Heba the Kenai.
We’re given his origin.

136
00:07:33,160 –> 00:07:34,640
We’re given his name.
Why?

137
00:07:34,640 –> 00:07:39,800
The records that pains to remind
us who he was and where he came

138
00:07:39,800 –> 00:07:42,120
from.
And the title that gets given

139
00:07:42,120 –> 00:07:44,360
him to distinguish him from
every other Heba that might

140
00:07:44,360 –> 00:07:46,440
exist.
He’s called Heba.

141
00:07:46,960 –> 00:07:49,680
The Kenite and the question.
We have to ask ourselves is well

142
00:07:49,680 –> 00:07:51,400
what?
What do we know?

143
00:07:51,760 –> 00:07:55,480
About Heba the Kenite, the
answer to that brother and

144
00:07:55,480 –> 00:07:56,880
sisters, is actually quite a
lot.

145
00:07:58,400 –> 00:08:06,840
So Heba, his name means a
community, comes from the root.

146
00:08:06,840 –> 00:08:11,000
Word meaning a house in common.
The idea of fellowship.

147
00:08:11,680 –> 00:08:14,720
So the Kenites were a community.
Of people who had.

148
00:08:14,720 –> 00:08:18,600
Fellowship in their in their
environment, with themselves.

149
00:08:18,920 –> 00:08:21,640
And what we notice.
About this man, when we go back

150
00:08:21,640 –> 00:08:24,200
to Judges chapter 4 verse 11 is
that.

151
00:08:24,200 –> 00:08:28,520
This man had severed himself.
From.

152
00:08:28,720 –> 00:08:31,400
The Kenites, verse 11 and Judges
4.

153
00:08:33,280 –> 00:08:36,960
And he’d gone instead, taking,
picking up his tent and

154
00:08:36,960 –> 00:08:40,760
relocating it up into the north,
into the into the plain or the

155
00:08:40,840 –> 00:08:45,600
oaks of Zenaeum.
This man had separated himself

156
00:08:45,600 –> 00:08:49,040
from his family, from his own
community, from those he had

157
00:08:49,040 –> 00:08:51,000
fellowship.
With from the rest of the

158
00:08:51,000 –> 00:08:54,800
Kennite families to seek
fellowship with another.

159
00:08:55,480 –> 00:08:58,880
Community was that a bad?
Move.

160
00:08:59,600 –> 00:09:00,560
Should he have done?
It.

161
00:09:01,240 –> 00:09:04,240
What do we know?
Why had?

162
00:09:04,240 –> 00:09:06,960
Heber moved.
Brothers and sisters.

163
00:09:08,000 –> 00:09:11,840
Well, firstly, perhaps it’s
helpful if we spend some time to

164
00:09:11,840 –> 00:09:14,720
look at the history and the
origins of the Kenites.

165
00:09:14,720 –> 00:09:17,120
And this is a study in its own
right.

166
00:09:17,520 –> 00:09:21,720
We want to spend 5 minutes to
summarise the family of the

167
00:09:21,720 –> 00:09:25,000
Kenites because we actually know
quite a bit about the Kenites.

168
00:09:25,720 –> 00:09:28,360
So who were?
The Kenites.

169
00:09:28,840 –> 00:09:31,320
Well, first of all, we know that
Hobeb.

170
00:09:31,520 –> 00:09:33,080
Who was the?
Son of.

171
00:09:33,080 –> 00:09:38,040
Jethro, Moses’s father-in-law.
In Numbers chapter 10, verse 29

172
00:09:38,040 –> 00:09:42,160
had a lot to do with Moses.
Hobeb was the.

173
00:09:42,160 –> 00:09:45,720
Father of the Kenites, Jethro
was the was the the leader of

174
00:09:45,720 –> 00:09:47,520
the family, but Hobeb was his
son.

175
00:09:48,280 –> 00:09:51,240
But what we know is, is that
Moses had originally sought

176
00:09:51,240 –> 00:09:55,000
refuge in Jethro’s house in
Exodus chapter 2 when he fled

177
00:09:55,280 –> 00:10:00,840
Egypt and he ran into Midian.
And there we know he tended for

178
00:10:00,840 –> 00:10:04,280
Jethro’s flocks in Horeb for 40
years.

179
00:10:04,280 –> 00:10:08,840
And Moses then marries 1 of
Jethro’s daughters in Exodus

180
00:10:08,840 –> 00:10:11,640
chapter 2.
And Moses leaves Zipporah and

181
00:10:11,640 –> 00:10:14,320
his two sons in Jethro’s key
when he goes.

182
00:10:14,320 –> 00:10:15,680
Back to.
Egypt.

183
00:10:16,000 –> 00:10:18,760
And then meets up with the
family when they go back to

184
00:10:18,760 –> 00:10:21,080
Mount Sinai in Exodus chapter 18
and so.

185
00:10:21,480 –> 00:10:23,040
What we know about the.
Kingites is where there are

186
00:10:23,040 –> 00:10:26,080
nomadic family that lived.
In Midian in the.

187
00:10:26,080 –> 00:10:29,920
Desert.
And what we know about Jethro.

188
00:10:30,080 –> 00:10:33,240
Was is that Jethro?
Embraced the hope of Israel, he

189
00:10:33,240 –> 00:10:36,080
rejoiced in their deliverance
from from Egypt and.

190
00:10:36,200 –> 00:10:38,680
Offered.
Burnt offerings and sacrifices

191
00:10:38,800 –> 00:10:42,280
with the nation of Israel in
Exodus chapter 18 and verses 9

192
00:10:42,280 –> 00:10:43,840
to 12.
And actually, Jethro offers

193
00:10:43,840 –> 00:10:48,080
enormous amount of support to
Moses in the wilderness to help.

194
00:10:48,080 –> 00:10:50,440
Him with the.
Administration of the nation to

195
00:10:50,440 –> 00:10:53,160
try and alleviate Moses pressure
of all the.

196
00:10:53,160 –> 00:10:56,840
Workload that he had to do.
Because he watched Moses as he

197
00:10:56,840 –> 00:10:59,120
tried to manage the nation’s
affairs and their needs.

198
00:10:59,120 –> 00:11:04,000
In Exodus chapter 18 and gives
sound advice to Moses.

199
00:11:06,560 –> 00:11:11,720
But Moses turned to Hobeb, death
Row’s son, who was journeying

200
00:11:11,720 –> 00:11:15,040
with them from Mount Sinai, and
says to him or come with.

201
00:11:15,040 –> 00:11:18,440
Me now to Numbers chapter 10.
I want to show you what happens

202
00:11:18,440 –> 00:11:22,360
in the story to the Kenites.
Numbers chapter 10, he’s Moses

203
00:11:22,360 –> 00:11:25,880
having a conversation with with
Jethro, with Hobe.

204
00:11:27,720 –> 00:11:34,640
Numbers chapter 10 and verse 29.
So here they go, verse 28.

205
00:11:34,640 –> 00:11:38,280
They went on their journeyings.
Numbers 10, verse 28, the

206
00:11:38,280 –> 00:11:40,640
journeyings of the children of
Israel according to the armies

207
00:11:40,640 –> 00:11:42,760
when they set forward.
So they’re on their way.

208
00:11:43,000 –> 00:11:44,280
As.
In the wilderness.

209
00:11:44,960 –> 00:11:49,000
And Moses turns to.
Hobab, the son of Ragu or Jethro

210
00:11:49,600 –> 00:11:52,760
Raguel the Midianite Moses,
father-in-law.

211
00:11:52,760 –> 00:11:56,600
So this is death row, but this
is his son Hobab, and he says

212
00:11:56,600 –> 00:11:59,160
to.
Hobab, look, we are journeying

213
00:11:59,160 –> 00:12:01,280
under the place of which Yahweh
said.

214
00:12:01,280 –> 00:12:04,400
I will give it you.
So we want you to come, come

215
00:12:04,400 –> 00:12:07,000
there with us and we will do the
good.

216
00:12:07,000 –> 00:12:10,560
Come out of the land of of the
wilderness of Midian, and come

217
00:12:10,560 –> 00:12:14,280
and come and join us.
He says And we all do thee good,

218
00:12:14,280 –> 00:12:18,000
for Yahweh has spoken good.
Concerning Israel and Hobart on

219
00:12:18,000 –> 00:12:21,040
that occasion.
Said to him in verse. 30I will

220
00:12:21,040 –> 00:12:26,240
not go, but I will depart.
To my own land and to my

221
00:12:26,240 –> 00:12:29,960
kindred.
And Moses pleads with him, Leave

222
00:12:29,960 –> 00:12:31,400
us not.
I pray thee for as much.

223
00:12:31,400 –> 00:12:34,400
As thou knowest how we are to.
Encamp in the wilderness, and

224
00:12:34,400 –> 00:12:39,280
thou mayest be to us instead of.
Eyes.

225
00:12:39,560 –> 00:12:43,320
You can be Watchmen for us to
look out for us, and it shall be

226
00:12:43,320 –> 00:12:46,840
if, if you go with us, yeah, it
shall be that what goodness

227
00:12:46,840 –> 00:12:52,400
Yahweh shall do unto.
Us the same will we do unto.

228
00:12:52,440 –> 00:12:56,360
Thee Moses pleads for them to be
the eyes.

229
00:12:56,360 –> 00:12:57,920
For them.
Tuck that away, by the way.

230
00:12:58,240 –> 00:13:00,720
He wanted them to be the eyes
for the nation of Israel, to be

231
00:13:00,720 –> 00:13:02,320
watchful.
To help them.

232
00:13:03,960 –> 00:13:06,560
We’re going to find that those
eyes sell.

233
00:13:08,800 –> 00:13:12,680
Bairak and his men out.
And So what we find about the

234
00:13:12,680 –> 00:13:13,240
Kenites?
They were.

235
00:13:13,240 –> 00:13:15,160
Nomads in the desert.
They knew the desert.

236
00:13:15,160 –> 00:13:17,760
Like the back of their.
Hands and we know from numbers

237
00:13:17,760 –> 00:13:21,760
10 is is that Hobart initially
refuses to go with the nation of

238
00:13:21,760 –> 00:13:24,320
Israel.
However, what we do know,

239
00:13:24,320 –> 00:13:25,680
brothers and sisters, is, is
that.

240
00:13:25,680 –> 00:13:30,040
Subsequently, he reconsiders
because we find the Kenites in

241
00:13:30,040 –> 00:13:32,920
Judges Chapter 1.
Come with me now to Judges

242
00:13:32,920 –> 00:13:34,800
Chapter 1.
Here they come.

243
00:13:36,920 –> 00:13:39,480
Because.
Hobeb must have reconsidered he

244
00:13:39,720 –> 00:13:42,160
he was torn.
He wanted to be with his family

245
00:13:42,160 –> 00:13:46,840
in his own land.
However, we find in Judges

246
00:13:46,840 –> 00:13:49,080
chapter one, they must have
changed their view, because in

247
00:13:49,080 –> 00:13:53,720
Judges chapter one, in the story
of the subjugation of the

248
00:13:53,800 –> 00:13:59,600
inheritance of Judah, it says in
verse 16 of Judges chapter 1, it

249
00:13:59,600 –> 00:14:05,080
says and the children of the
Kenite, Moses’s father-in-law,

250
00:14:05,600 –> 00:14:08,280
went.
Up out of the city of Palm.

251
00:14:08,280 –> 00:14:09,520
Trees.
With.

252
00:14:09,600 –> 00:14:13,320
The children of Judah into the
wilderness of Judah, which life

253
00:14:13,320 –> 00:14:15,280
to the South.
Of Arad and they.

254
00:14:15,280 –> 00:14:16,440
Went.
And.

255
00:14:16,440 –> 00:14:22,280
Dwelt among the people you see.
Initially Hobeb must have

256
00:14:22,280 –> 00:14:26,080
refused, but subsequently the
family reconsiders and the kites

257
00:14:26,080 –> 00:14:29,960
come on the journeyings with the
children of Israel and receive

258
00:14:29,960 –> 00:14:32,960
an inheritance allotment amongst
the tribe of Judah.

259
00:14:33,560 –> 00:14:36,640
Whilst they still.
Maintain their independence as

260
00:14:36,640 –> 00:14:39,120
their own community.
In the.

261
00:14:39,120 –> 00:14:42,120
Wilderness.
And so they relocate into the

262
00:14:42,120 –> 00:14:44,120
wilderness in the South.
Of Ararat.

263
00:14:44,880 –> 00:14:46,760
But it says they.
Fellowshipped.

264
00:14:46,760 –> 00:14:51,840
It says with the children of
Judah and So what we can.

265
00:14:51,840 –> 00:14:54,840
Summarize out of the story is
that they were a God.

266
00:14:54,880 –> 00:14:56,200
Fearing.
People.

267
00:14:56,760 –> 00:14:59,760
They wanted to be there.
They wanted to have close ties

268
00:14:59,760 –> 00:15:04,640
now with the nation of Israel to
receive the ongoing blessings of

269
00:15:04,640 –> 00:15:07,000
the fellowship that was promised
to them.

270
00:15:07,720 –> 00:15:10,960
In the land.
Of promise, and we know.

271
00:15:10,960 –> 00:15:14,320
That they were to be the eyes,
the watchman for the nation of

272
00:15:14,320 –> 00:15:16,400
Israel.
Just remarkable.

273
00:15:16,400 –> 00:15:19,920
Brothers and sisters, when you
trace this family through

274
00:15:19,920 –> 00:15:22,840
history.
They were an incredible.

275
00:15:22,840 –> 00:15:24,520
Faithful.
Family.

276
00:15:26,000 –> 00:15:28,720
And we know the following.
Things about this family of the

277
00:15:28,720 –> 00:15:32,280
kenites and. 260 years.
After.

278
00:15:32,280 –> 00:15:35,840
Their establishment and in the
area of Judah, and during the

279
00:15:35,840 –> 00:15:38,760
time of Bairak, after that and
the time of Saul, first of

280
00:15:38,760 –> 00:15:41,720
Samuel chapter 15 says.
That the.

281
00:15:41,720 –> 00:15:45,280
Kenites were faithful to Israel
and they were speared

282
00:15:45,280 –> 00:15:48,120
destruction.
Because of the tight.

283
00:15:48,200 –> 00:15:50,680
Relationship that they had with
the nation of Israel.

284
00:15:50,680 –> 00:15:56,360
During the time of Seoul.
And 290 years later, in the time

285
00:15:56,360 –> 00:15:59,400
of David, in the first
Chronicles chapter 2, this

286
00:15:59,400 –> 00:16:03,640
family became known as the
Recabites, those that were known

287
00:16:03,920 –> 00:16:08,080
for being the scribes amongst
the nation, the faithful Bible

288
00:16:08,080 –> 00:16:11,680
students that maintained an
understanding of the law of

289
00:16:11,680 –> 00:16:15,600
Moses.
And 450.

290
00:16:15,600 –> 00:16:18,240
Years after this point, roses
and sisters.

291
00:16:18,880 –> 00:16:23,200
In the time of Jehu in Second of
Kings chapter 10 and verse 15.

292
00:16:23,440 –> 00:16:26,160
The Rakabites were known for the
keeping.

293
00:16:26,160 –> 00:16:31,040
Of the law, and particularly for
standing against apostasy.

294
00:16:31,440 –> 00:16:34,920
And maintaining a Pilgrim.
Status amongst the nations that

295
00:16:34,920 –> 00:16:41,600
were there.
And 740 years later, this.

296
00:16:41,600 –> 00:16:45,080
Faithful family in the time of.
Jehoiah King and Jeremiah

297
00:16:45,080 –> 00:16:48,600
chapter 35 are.
Still there, remaining separate

298
00:16:48,760 –> 00:16:51,800
from apostate Judah, who was
gone.

299
00:16:51,800 –> 00:16:55,080
Astray and they were, the
Recobites were still following

300
00:16:55,080 –> 00:16:58,400
the law, maintaining a
steadfastness for the truth,

301
00:16:59,200 –> 00:17:04,599
showing the nation themselves
far more faithful than the tribe

302
00:17:04,599 –> 00:17:08,400
they first had fellowship.
With this was a remarkable

303
00:17:08,400 –> 00:17:10,800
family.
Other sisters that stood.

304
00:17:11,119 –> 00:17:13,040
The test of time.
Who?

305
00:17:13,040 –> 00:17:16,160
Learnt the lesson of
transferring the truth from

306
00:17:16,160 –> 00:17:20,720
generation to generation.
That’s the story of the

307
00:17:20,720 –> 00:17:22,359
Reckabites.
That’s the story of the Kenites.

308
00:17:22,359 –> 00:17:25,280
Now other sisters come back to
the story of Judges Chapter 4.

309
00:17:28,119 –> 00:17:33,200
Now let’s think about the
decision that Heber makes to

310
00:17:33,240 –> 00:17:37,240
sever himself from that
community.

311
00:17:40,040 –> 00:17:43,920
See Heba Heba and it’s a great.
Translation, by the way, had.

312
00:17:43,920 –> 00:17:46,440
Severed.
Himself from this faithful.

313
00:17:46,440 –> 00:17:51,960
Family, this man.
Had cut his ties from the rest

314
00:17:51,960 –> 00:17:55,240
of the Kenites living in the
Negev desert in the South.

315
00:17:55,480 –> 00:17:58,160
And where had he gone?
The answer is he had gone to re

316
00:17:58,160 –> 00:18:02,120
establish himself and his family
in the northern parts of Israel,

317
00:18:02,120 –> 00:18:05,680
in the oaks of Zanayim.
Zanayim was on the border of the

318
00:18:05,680 –> 00:18:09,520
inheritance of Naftali, about
four kilometres South of Kadesh.

319
00:18:09,520 –> 00:18:12,200
Naftali and about 12 KS from
Mount Table.

320
00:18:12,200 –> 00:18:15,360
They had totally left the Negev
and were living in the North.

321
00:18:17,440 –> 00:18:19,240
Now the question we have to ask
ourselves.

322
00:18:20,560 –> 00:18:21,360
Is.
Why?

323
00:18:22,520 –> 00:18:25,720
Why had this man moved?
Why had he changed?

324
00:18:26,080 –> 00:18:28,360
His alliances and his
allegiances.

325
00:18:28,360 –> 00:18:33,440
Was it for better climate, it
was nicer weather or was it a

326
00:18:33,440 –> 00:18:34,920
better?
Environment for him.

327
00:18:36,000 –> 00:18:38,000
Or did he have a falling out
with his family?

328
00:18:40,120 –> 00:18:43,800
We’re not told brothers and
sisters, except for.

329
00:18:43,800 –> 00:18:50,080
This.
One can’t miss.

330
00:18:51,120 –> 00:18:57,160
The Bible echo can you with
another man that moved for

331
00:18:57,160 –> 00:19:01,400
another reason and for economic
decisions.

332
00:19:02,320 –> 00:19:04,440
You see, I believe, brothers and
sisters, we are given.

333
00:19:04,440 –> 00:19:08,600
This very pattern.
To try and help us understand

334
00:19:08,600 –> 00:19:12,240
why he severed himself as
exactly the same word in the

335
00:19:12,240 –> 00:19:16,640
Hebrew of Genesis chapter 13 and
verse 11, where Lot severs

336
00:19:16,640 –> 00:19:20,920
himself from the faithful family
of Abraham.

337
00:19:22,240 –> 00:19:26,240
And both of these men go and re
pitch their tents toward a

338
00:19:26,240 –> 00:19:31,920
plain.
And both make peace with the

339
00:19:31,920 –> 00:19:35,960
new.
Surrounding families Lot had

340
00:19:35,960 –> 00:19:38,400
separated himself for Abraham we
know for an.

341
00:19:38,400 –> 00:19:41,240
Ease of lifestyle it was.
Just like the water of.

342
00:19:41,240 –> 00:19:43,160
Egypt, you could kick it with
your foot and the water would

343
00:19:43,160 –> 00:19:44,240
come.
It was amazing.

344
00:19:44,240 –> 00:19:46,240
Green everywhere, the fertile
pastures.

345
00:19:46,240 –> 00:19:50,440
It was remarkable he moved for
economic prosperity to the rich.

346
00:19:50,440 –> 00:19:53,880
Soils of the Plain of Sodom.
That’s why Lot.

347
00:19:53,880 –> 00:19:55,480
Moved It was an economic
decision for.

348
00:19:55,480 –> 00:19:57,920
Lot a better lifestyle and it
was no different.

349
00:19:57,920 –> 00:20:00,480
Brothers and sisters, I believe
for Heber.

350
00:20:00,480 –> 00:20:02,720
Do you know why?
Brothers and sisters, I suggest

351
00:20:02,720 –> 00:20:09,040
that I suggest Heber moved.
For employment and here’s the

352
00:20:09,040 –> 00:20:13,200
proof.
Do you know what the word?

353
00:20:13,200 –> 00:20:22,480
Kennite means in the Hebrew it’s
the word, for Smith the word.

354
00:20:22,480 –> 00:20:25,120
For a metal.
Worker the word.

355
00:20:25,120 –> 00:20:31,120
That’s used to describe an
artificer of metal now.

356
00:20:32,120 –> 00:20:34,120
What we know therefore is, is
that the Kimites.

357
00:20:34,120 –> 00:20:37,400
Were a group of nomadic metal
workers.

358
00:20:38,120 –> 00:20:42,080
Now here’s the question, where
do you think the employment

359
00:20:42,080 –> 00:20:47,080
opportunities were in Israel at
this current point in time for

360
00:20:47,080 –> 00:20:49,320
metal workers?
What we know.

361
00:20:49,320 –> 00:20:52,280
Brothers and sisters is judges.
Five verse 8 sees.

362
00:20:52,760 –> 00:20:55,200
That they chose new gods.
There was war in the gates.

363
00:20:55,440 –> 00:20:59,240
Was there a shield or a?
Spear seen amongst the 40,000 in

364
00:20:59,240 –> 00:21:02,320
Israel.
There was not much work needed

365
00:21:02,560 –> 00:21:05,760
for fitted interners amongst the
nation of Israel at this current

366
00:21:05,760 –> 00:21:09,640
point in time was there no no
where the employment lay.

367
00:21:10,200 –> 00:21:13,800
Was with the guy that.
Owned 900 Chariots of Iron.

368
00:21:16,320 –> 00:21:19,320
I believe Hebrew had relocated
up north for a more prosperous

369
00:21:19,320 –> 00:21:22,000
life, more money, better career
prospects.

370
00:21:22,000 –> 00:21:25,360
And note those and sisters.
No Fear of attack.

371
00:21:25,360 –> 00:21:28,480
Why?
Because verse 17 says for some

372
00:21:28,680 –> 00:21:30,080
reason.
There was a.

373
00:21:30,080 –> 00:21:34,480
Peace accord between Jabin, who
was the king of the entire

374
00:21:34,480 –> 00:21:38,320
Canaanites, and the family of
Hebrew, the Kenai.

375
00:21:39,080 –> 00:21:42,120
Now here’s the question on what.
Basis.

376
00:21:42,440 –> 00:21:46,000
Did little old Hebrew the Kenite
have a peace agreement with

377
00:21:46,000 –> 00:21:49,160
Jabin, the mighty king of
Canaan, who’d subdued most of

378
00:21:49,160 –> 00:21:51,520
all the northern tribes of
Razran and was on a.

379
00:21:51,520 –> 00:21:53,800
First name basis along with his
wife.

380
00:21:54,000 –> 00:22:01,200
With Sisera, the captain of the
army, you see Hebrew’s

381
00:22:01,200 –> 00:22:03,240
household.
Had a protection.

382
00:22:03,240 –> 00:22:06,520
Policy An insurance policy of
peace.

383
00:22:07,360 –> 00:22:08,800
Now Hebrew didn’t have any more
power.

384
00:22:08,800 –> 00:22:10,840
He didn’t have a.
Huge army, didn’t have any more

385
00:22:10,840 –> 00:22:16,360
money, but he had skills.
He was a metal worker a

386
00:22:16,360 –> 00:22:19,880
mechanical skills.
And by the way, businesses.

387
00:22:19,880 –> 00:22:24,640
That might explain why jail was
so easy to get us her hands on a

388
00:22:24,640 –> 00:22:32,120
workman’s hammer.
You see, this peace agreement

389
00:22:32,120 –> 00:22:35,480
was made on the basis of trade.
A mutual economic benefit?

390
00:22:36,520 –> 00:22:40,200
Quite possibly.
Heber was the chief mechanic of

391
00:22:40,200 –> 00:22:42,200
Sisera’s army, based in
Harishev.

392
00:22:42,200 –> 00:22:49,480
Harishev, the city of mechanics.
You see so.

393
00:22:49,480 –> 00:22:54,640
Here this Kenite, who ought to
have been the eyes, Israel’s

394
00:22:54,680 –> 00:22:58,720
eyes, to protect them, had
severed himself, brothers and

395
00:22:58,720 –> 00:23:01,480
sisters from his brethren and
switched allegiances.

396
00:23:03,320 –> 00:23:07,880
Verse 12 says they showed.
That Sisera had, that they

397
00:23:07,880 –> 00:23:10,800
showed to Sisera that Bayrek
had, the son of Abenoam had gone

398
00:23:10,800 –> 00:23:13,000
up into Mount Table, they sold
them out.

399
00:23:13,280 –> 00:23:16,440
He would’ve been watching
Bayrek, and he’d, as he’d called

400
00:23:16,440 –> 00:23:19,480
for assistance, witnessed him
amassing his supporters as he

401
00:23:19,480 –> 00:23:21,920
ascended Mount Table.
Instead of watching out for

402
00:23:21,920 –> 00:23:28,720
Israel, he sold them out.
See Hebrew relocated for better

403
00:23:28,760 –> 00:23:31,240
economic lifestyle.
He’d make a decision on the

404
00:23:31,240 –> 00:23:32,240
basis.
Of.

405
00:23:32,520 –> 00:23:35,000
Better career prospects and
employment.

406
00:23:35,000 –> 00:23:37,560
And in so doing, he’d relocated.
His wife.

407
00:23:37,800 –> 00:23:41,240
And his entire.
Family and sibled himself from

408
00:23:41,240 –> 00:23:44,520
the fellowship of the faithful
Kenites brothers and sisters is

409
00:23:44,560 –> 00:23:48,080
a fantastic lesson.
For us in this isn’t there.

410
00:23:50,360 –> 00:23:55,400
You see leaders.
Should factor in all.

411
00:23:56,080 –> 00:24:00,840
The costs, you see, employment
is needed.

412
00:24:00,840 –> 00:24:02,280
We know brothers and sisters to
eat.

413
00:24:02,720 –> 00:24:04,400
We have to maintain ourselves in
this.

414
00:24:04,400 –> 00:24:07,760
Life It’s important to do our
best in whatever we do.

415
00:24:09,680 –> 00:24:12,400
Remember First of Timothy
chapter 6 tells us very clearly

416
00:24:12,400 –> 00:24:16,280
that the pursuit or the love of
money is the root.

417
00:24:17,160 –> 00:24:22,880
Of all evil.
Everything in life.

418
00:24:23,680 –> 00:24:26,560
Comes at a cost, doesn’t.
It there are always opportunity

419
00:24:26,560 –> 00:24:30,040
costs, the next best.
Alternative and we have

420
00:24:30,040 –> 00:24:34,920
trade-offs.
And that benefit is a challenge

421
00:24:35,640 –> 00:24:37,360
if it’s going to destroy our
family.

422
00:24:38,840 –> 00:24:41,680
You know if we change.
Jobs, we have to ask the

423
00:24:41,680 –> 00:24:43,760
question, what is it going to
cost me?

424
00:24:43,960 –> 00:24:47,720
If I take that promotion, how
much more travel might there be?

425
00:24:48,400 –> 00:24:51,560
With respect for employment,
generally, in my experience,

426
00:24:51,560 –> 00:24:54,200
more money comes with more
responsibility, which usually

427
00:24:54,200 –> 00:24:59,960
means more stress and less time.
That’s why Timothy says

428
00:24:59,960 –> 00:25:03,240
godliness with contentment is
great game.

429
00:25:04,360 –> 00:25:08,120
Contentment is the key.
We’ve got to be so careful about

430
00:25:08,120 –> 00:25:11,800
our economic pursuits because
it’s so easy to lose sight of

431
00:25:11,800 –> 00:25:15,800
what we’re actually here for and
be caught up with Why the keys

432
00:25:15,800 –> 00:25:17,800
of this life.
We’ve got to.

433
00:25:17,800 –> 00:25:20,480
Factor in the opportunity costs
and every decision that we make

434
00:25:20,480 –> 00:25:23,360
and for lot, well, he lost
everything.

435
00:25:23,520 –> 00:25:27,560
He lost his family, he lost his
wife, he lost his happiness.

436
00:25:27,800 –> 00:25:30,520
He lost everything.
He went from a better economic

437
00:25:30,520 –> 00:25:32,880
lifestyle and prosperity.
He ended up as a hermit in a.

438
00:25:32,880 –> 00:25:40,440
Cave he didn’t factor in the
opportunity cost and neither did

439
00:25:40,440 –> 00:25:47,160
he be brothers sisters because
Jail wasn’t too happy about this

440
00:25:47,160 –> 00:25:51,800
decision back in the story.
We know that because what sees

441
00:25:51,800 –> 00:25:53,160
verse 17?
Sisera.

442
00:25:53,720 –> 00:25:58,120
Sisera had dropped off his
distinctive chariot and in the

443
00:25:58,120 –> 00:26:00,360
confusion, was running for his
life.

444
00:26:00,800 –> 00:26:03,240
In the opposite direction as
fast as he could.

445
00:26:03,560 –> 00:26:05,560
His ultimate destination, no
doubt.

446
00:26:05,720 –> 00:26:09,840
Was most likely Hazor mummy’s
place to.

447
00:26:09,840 –> 00:26:13,000
Find shelter and protection.
Sisera’s mother lived up in the.

448
00:26:13,000 –> 00:26:16,920
Castle on Hazel.
He was sitting here in jails

449
00:26:16,920 –> 00:26:19,520
tent until the the the.
Challenge of the.

450
00:26:19,520 –> 00:26:23,000
Battle blew over till the heat
dissipated, that he might find

451
00:26:23,000 –> 00:26:26,880
shelter and protection and then
sneak up to Hazel and so heading

452
00:26:26,880 –> 00:26:28,920
for familiar ground.
With people, he thought.

453
00:26:29,040 –> 00:26:33,560
Were allies he strike out
strikes out for heber’s campsite

454
00:26:33,560 –> 00:26:37,680
but.
Particularly jails tent but if

455
00:26:37,680 –> 00:26:40,000
sister was seeking sympathy and
safety, he put the.

456
00:26:40,000 –> 00:26:42,240
Wrong woman with the wrong tent
on the wrong day.

457
00:26:44,200 –> 00:26:47,040
There’s nothing soft about this
lady.

458
00:26:48,120 –> 00:26:54,480
So he runs.
To jail tent Who was jail?

459
00:26:56,320 –> 00:27:00,680
Well, this woman.
Had lived her life growing up as

460
00:27:00,680 –> 00:27:06,400
a nomad in the desert in tents.
The the Kenites were a Hardy

461
00:27:06,400 –> 00:27:08,920
people.
Her name means a mountain goat.

462
00:27:10,800 –> 00:27:13,080
These people lived in goat skin
tents.

463
00:27:13,120 –> 00:27:16,520
She’s going to serve Cicera
goat’s milk from a goat skin

464
00:27:16,520 –> 00:27:19,040
bottle and cover him with a goat
skin blanket.

465
00:27:19,480 –> 00:27:23,520
She was the.
Ultimate goat, And for Israel,

466
00:27:23,560 –> 00:27:26,880
she’s the greatest of all time.
On this day.

467
00:27:27,720 –> 00:27:30,080
You see for.
Everything she was, she was

468
00:27:30,080 –> 00:27:32,280
rugged and rough she was.
Used to the harsh.

469
00:27:32,280 –> 00:27:34,720
Elements in the living
conditions of the blowing sands

470
00:27:34,720 –> 00:27:36,920
in the desert, the shifting of
the wind.

471
00:27:37,080 –> 00:27:40,840
Her nomadic existence was all
about enduring hardships and

472
00:27:40,840 –> 00:27:43,480
isolation.
You know what’s remarkable is

473
00:27:43,480 –> 00:27:48,000
that Heber and jail.
Stand together as antithesis of

474
00:27:48,000 –> 00:27:49,480
each other and what they stood
for.

475
00:27:49,480 –> 00:27:52,840
If Heber lived on the plain, she
was a mountain goat.

476
00:27:53,120 –> 00:27:56,080
If Heber wanted to make peace
with the enemy, she was used to

477
00:27:56,080 –> 00:27:59,360
fighting for an existence.
Heber was seeking for economic

478
00:27:59,360 –> 00:28:02,120
prosperity.
She was used to hardships.

479
00:28:02,320 –> 00:28:04,600
And whilst he wanted a
fellowship in coffees in the

480
00:28:04,600 –> 00:28:06,640
villages.
She wanted isolation.

481
00:28:06,640 –> 00:28:09,960
In the desert, Mum was a city
slicker and the other was a

482
00:28:09,960 –> 00:28:11,240
nomad.
Brothers and sisters.

483
00:28:11,240 –> 00:28:14,600
What a family.
And whereas Heber had made

484
00:28:14,600 –> 00:28:17,520
decisions for a better
lifestyle, for more money and

485
00:28:17,520 –> 00:28:20,120
improved living, Jail wanted the
opposite.

486
00:28:20,480 –> 00:28:22,200
She wanted her nomadic
existence.

487
00:28:22,200 –> 00:28:25,120
She wanted to be in isolation,
without the complications of

488
00:28:25,320 –> 00:28:29,240
what this new life had brought.
And whilst Heber had severed

489
00:28:29,240 –> 00:28:32,080
himself, brothers and sisters
from his brethren in pursuit of

490
00:28:32,080 –> 00:28:35,080
a better way of life, Jail
obviously had not agreed.

491
00:28:36,760 –> 00:28:41,560
However, in submission she gone
and whilst utterly.

492
00:28:42,000 –> 00:28:45,800
Repulsed by the treacherous
peace accord, she.

493
00:28:45,800 –> 00:28:49,000
Obeyed.
And bided her time trying to

494
00:28:49,000 –> 00:28:52,160
encourage her husband.
By her way of life, as Peter

495
00:28:52,160 –> 00:28:54,560
calls it.
To help her husband to return

496
00:28:56,400 –> 00:29:00,640
and the time came for that
opportunity.

497
00:29:02,480 –> 00:29:09,720
In verse 18 it sees as Sisyrus
speed past jail went out to

498
00:29:09,720 –> 00:29:11,480
meet.
Cicera.

499
00:29:11,480 –> 00:29:15,640
In the Hebrew it means to go out
with intent.

500
00:29:16,320 –> 00:29:18,800
This was a deliberate action,
brothers and sisters.

501
00:29:18,800 –> 00:29:22,640
She recognized Cicera from a
distance and worried that he

502
00:29:22,640 –> 00:29:25,040
might run straight past, she
decides to interact with him

503
00:29:25,040 –> 00:29:28,000
before any of the servants did.
And so she comes out and she

504
00:29:28,000 –> 00:29:30,920
says to him, Turn in my Lord,
turn in to me.

505
00:29:30,920 –> 00:29:34,440
Fear not.
Turn in my Lord Adon my.

506
00:29:34,440 –> 00:29:37,400
Ruler, she says.
Term of respect come in here

507
00:29:37,400 –> 00:29:39,280
quick quick.
Come in across the door.

508
00:29:40,480 –> 00:29:42,840
And carefully and deliberately,
she encourages him to find

509
00:29:42,840 –> 00:29:44,920
sanctuary in her team.
This.

510
00:29:46,040 –> 00:29:49,960
Was her opportunity you use this
pitch of the.

511
00:29:49,960 –> 00:29:50,560
Scene.
Can’t you?

512
00:29:50,640 –> 00:29:52,800
I mean I.
It’s probably not too good to

513
00:29:52,800 –> 00:29:54,440
pitch, but anyway, think about
it.

514
00:29:54,440 –> 00:29:55,960
Sister’s just run his.
Skin off.

515
00:29:56,320 –> 00:29:58,600
Right.
Blood stained, covered in mud,

516
00:29:58,680 –> 00:30:01,920
fatigued, sweaty, scared stiff.
Probably the first time he’s

517
00:30:01,920 –> 00:30:05,160
ever experienced a defeat like
this ever in his life.

518
00:30:05,640 –> 00:30:08,240
He’s petrified.
And here was a.

519
00:30:08,240 –> 00:30:10,920
Woman he knew, whose allegiance,
he thought were clearly lined

520
00:30:10,920 –> 00:30:14,040
with his This was the family
that had given him the tip.

521
00:30:14,040 –> 00:30:15,800
Off in the 1st.
Place we’ll find safety.

522
00:30:15,800 –> 00:30:20,040
Here and here she was offering
him shelter and safety in her

523
00:30:20,040 –> 00:30:21,440
tent Why?
Not I’ll lie low.

524
00:30:22,200 –> 00:30:23,840
Until the heat blows over, I’ll
recover.

525
00:30:23,840 –> 00:30:25,400
Strength.
And then I’ll shoot for Hazel.

526
00:30:27,000 –> 00:30:29,760
And so he turns aside, and as he
does so, she covers him with a

527
00:30:29,760 –> 00:30:34,240
mantle, a blanket, you see, she
covers them with only ever.

528
00:30:34,240 –> 00:30:36,600
Really floods in the desereal.
Valley in winter, so he can

529
00:30:36,600 –> 00:30:38,080
probably assume it’s probably.
Cold.

530
00:30:38,280 –> 00:30:41,200
He’s probably shivering
uncontrollably for the shock as

531
00:30:41,200 –> 00:30:42,480
the.
Adrenaline’s going to leave his

532
00:30:42,480 –> 00:30:45,240
system.
And she covers him, not just to

533
00:30:45,240 –> 00:30:50,520
warm him, but to conceal him.
And a mantle was a thick

534
00:30:50,600 –> 00:30:51,640
blanket.
Any guesses?

535
00:30:51,640 –> 00:30:53,040
What that might have been made?
Of.

536
00:30:53,400 –> 00:30:54,960
In this tent by the.
Sisters.

537
00:30:55,600 –> 00:30:59,040
Most blankets for these people
were goat skin and coarse.

538
00:30:59,040 –> 00:31:02,600
Goat’s hair.
And as he laid down.

539
00:31:02,840 –> 00:31:06,040
Sisera realized that he was
absolutely parched.

540
00:31:08,280 –> 00:31:10,840
And and he turns round to her
and look at the language of

541
00:31:10,840 –> 00:31:12,120
respect.
This is the rule.

542
00:31:12,120 –> 00:31:17,680
This is the Sisera who ran the
entire army for for JB, king of

543
00:31:17,680 –> 00:31:19,600
Canaan.
Look at the words he uses to

544
00:31:19,600 –> 00:31:21,400
her.
Oh, she, he says.

545
00:31:21,680 –> 00:31:24,160
Give.
Me, I pray thee, a little water.

546
00:31:25,000 –> 00:31:26,480
It’s the language of respect, He
thought.

547
00:31:26,480 –> 00:31:29,800
He totally found safety here.
Can I please have a drink of

548
00:31:29,800 –> 00:31:32,640
water?
She says no, no, I can’t give

549
00:31:32,640 –> 00:31:34,560
you water, but I can certainly
give you cream.

550
00:31:36,000 –> 00:31:39,400
Not, not anything but the best
for you water.

551
00:31:39,400 –> 00:31:41,040
Surely not.
How about something a little bit

552
00:31:41,040 –> 00:31:43,600
more substantial?
Now guess what type of milk

553
00:31:43,600 –> 00:31:50,200
nomadic tribes drink Other.
Sisters and it’s not care, it’s

554
00:31:50,200 –> 00:31:55,640
goat’s milk.
And she opens a new bottle.

555
00:31:56,120 –> 00:31:58,000
She gives him a new bottle of
milk.

556
00:31:58,200 –> 00:32:00,960
It’s made of goat skin, as the
Gibeonites did in Joshua Chapter

557
00:32:00,960 –> 00:32:02,880
9.
Milk specifically for the

558
00:32:02,880 –> 00:32:04,320
occasion.
She gives him to drink.

559
00:32:04,320 –> 00:32:08,200
And then she covers him again.
Only the best for my Lord.

560
00:32:09,360 –> 00:32:13,120
Sisters in jails territory and
in her control.

561
00:32:14,000 –> 00:32:17,800
He was totally out of his depth
and he had no idea.

562
00:32:18,240 –> 00:32:20,120
I’m given more.
Detail of what he gives.

563
00:32:20,120 –> 00:32:23,000
Her in chapter 5 and verse 20.
Five, have a look over the page.

564
00:32:23,960 –> 00:32:27,600
Deborah’s song.
He asked verse 25 of Judges 5.

565
00:32:27,600 –> 00:32:30,320
He asked water and she gave.
Him milk.

566
00:32:30,320 –> 00:32:33,960
She brought forth butter in a
lordy dish.

567
00:32:34,400 –> 00:32:36,360
Butters is the word for curdled
milk.

568
00:32:36,360 –> 00:32:39,520
It was like it was like yogurt.
This wasn’t just plain.

569
00:32:39,520 –> 00:32:40,240
Old milk.
It was the.

570
00:32:40,240 –> 00:32:42,080
Best.
She could give for her Lord and

571
00:32:42,080 –> 00:32:44,600
a.
Lordy dish, the dish of mighty.

572
00:32:44,600 –> 00:32:47,280
Nobles is what it means.
A lordy dish.

573
00:32:47,280 –> 00:32:50,880
She pulled out the best.
China for this particular man.

574
00:32:52,200 –> 00:32:55,680
She wanted Sisera to.
Feel that he was an honoured

575
00:32:55,680 –> 00:32:59,640
guest, a respected man of honour
in her house, and that he was in

576
00:32:59,640 –> 00:33:02,720
good cans and good company.
And in so doing, she lulls.

577
00:33:02,720 –> 00:33:06,000
Him into a false sense of
security.

578
00:33:06,960 –> 00:33:09,080
But if it were he Sisera has.
One more.

579
00:33:09,080 –> 00:33:10,240
Request.
Look what she says.

580
00:33:10,240 –> 00:33:11,680
Verse 20 come back over the
page.

581
00:33:12,160 –> 00:33:16,000
Judges 4, verse 20 stand, he
says, in the door of the.

582
00:33:16,000 –> 00:33:17,840
Tent.
And if any man, if it shall be

583
00:33:17,840 –> 00:33:20,240
that, if any man doth come and
inquire of thee, and say, Is

584
00:33:20,240 –> 00:33:22,840
there any man here?
Say no.

585
00:33:25,960 –> 00:33:30,600
So sister are now having his
fears removed, his adrenaline.

586
00:33:30,600 –> 00:33:33,600
Subsiding.
The milk, quickly working as a

587
00:33:33,600 –> 00:33:40,400
natural sedative on his heavily
fatigued body, falls fast asleep

588
00:33:40,400 –> 00:33:47,080
and utter exhausted when jail
steps forward.

589
00:33:48,120 –> 00:33:52,400
To seize her moment, she.
Sees the opportunity to strike.

590
00:33:54,640 –> 00:33:58,720
Brothers and sisters read
carefully.

591
00:34:00,240 –> 00:34:04,240
What it says in verse 21 and you
can’t.

592
00:34:04,240 –> 00:34:06,680
Miss the import?
Of the record.

593
00:34:06,680 –> 00:34:12,880
Can you then?
Jail Heber’s wife.

594
00:34:12,880 –> 00:34:15,320
Why are we giving the extra
detail again?

595
00:34:15,320 –> 00:34:17,760
We already.
Know she’s Heber’s wife now.

596
00:34:17,800 –> 00:34:21,320
This, this decision and this
action had something about his

597
00:34:21,320 –> 00:34:25,159
decision that he’d made.
Oh, she wasn’t happy with his

598
00:34:25,159 –> 00:34:27,960
decision.
She’s known as he was wife.

599
00:34:29,800 –> 00:34:37,880
And she goes and takes notice, a
hammer in her hand and a tent

600
00:34:38,440 –> 00:34:41,239
peg.
Why brothers and sisters?

601
00:34:41,719 –> 00:34:47,480
Why does she use?
A tent peg and a hammer.

602
00:34:49,280 –> 00:34:53,960
Well, just look.
At why she doesn’t this was a.

603
00:34:53,960 –> 00:34:57,640
Crime by the Sisters of Passion.
This was a.

604
00:34:57,640 –> 00:35:00,520
Brutal murder.
A premeditated murder on her

605
00:35:00,520 –> 00:35:02,520
part.
She knew what she was going to

606
00:35:02,520 –> 00:35:06,120
use to destroy this man.
She’d planned this moment in her

607
00:35:06,120 –> 00:35:08,800
head, had no idea when it was
coming, and she saw the

608
00:35:08,800 –> 00:35:11,920
opportunity.
She takes a tent peg and a

609
00:35:11,920 –> 00:35:15,520
workman’s hammer.
The two things that represented

610
00:35:15,520 –> 00:35:18,880
her nomadic existence and the
toll of her husband’s

611
00:35:18,880 –> 00:35:22,120
employment.
The two things of her.

612
00:35:22,120 –> 00:35:26,040
Frustration, brothers and
sisters, this was poetic.

613
00:35:26,800 –> 00:35:32,000
Retribution, the tent pig, a
symbol of her Canite nomadic

614
00:35:32,000 –> 00:35:33,760
existence.
You grab a colouring in pencil

615
00:35:33,960 –> 00:35:36,800
and you colour in how many times
it says the word tent through

616
00:35:36,800 –> 00:35:39,480
chapter 4.
They had pitched his tent, says

617
00:35:39,480 –> 00:35:41,360
verse 11, in the plain of
Zenaium.

618
00:35:41,560 –> 00:35:43,080
Howbee.
She fled on his feet.

619
00:35:43,080 –> 00:35:46,400
Verse 17 to the tent of jail.
The wife of Hebrew, the Canite.

620
00:35:46,480 –> 00:35:49,120
She turned into the tent.
He turned into the tent.

621
00:35:49,120 –> 00:35:51,360
Verse 18.
Stand in the door of the tent.

622
00:35:51,400 –> 00:35:54,640
Verse 20.
She took a nail of the tent.

623
00:35:54,960 –> 00:35:59,360
Says verse 21.
You colour that in, you can’t

624
00:35:59,360 –> 00:36:01,480
miss it.
Chapter 5, verse 24 as well,

625
00:36:02,120 –> 00:36:03,840
right?
Blessed out there of all woman

626
00:36:03,920 –> 00:36:06,040
in the tent.
Says Deborah.

627
00:36:06,200 –> 00:36:11,480
Judges 5, verse 24.
So she picked the tent peg.

628
00:36:11,480 –> 00:36:13,720
Because it represented.
Her nomadic existence.

629
00:36:13,880 –> 00:36:14,920
Where she.
Lived and the.

630
00:36:14,920 –> 00:36:19,040
Frustration of relocation and
she took the workman’s.

631
00:36:19,040 –> 00:36:22,880
Hammer, a symbol of her
husband’s employment.

632
00:36:23,440 –> 00:36:25,280
That’s the word.
That gets used chapter 5, verse

633
00:36:25,280 –> 00:36:28,920
20. 6A.
Workman’s Hammer it says in

634
00:36:28,920 –> 00:36:31,760
verse 26 this wasn’t to bash and
10 pegs, this was a.

635
00:36:31,760 –> 00:36:37,480
Metal Metalworking Hammer a work
a hammer used for foundry work

636
00:36:37,720 –> 00:36:40,160
with meta this is.
Heber’s tools.

637
00:36:41,320 –> 00:36:44,440
You see, Jail chose to use these
tools.

638
00:36:44,640 –> 00:36:48,840
And implements to exact her fury
and her revenge and her

639
00:36:48,840 –> 00:36:52,800
frustration on Sisera in
retribution for the pain.

640
00:36:53,040 –> 00:36:58,000
The torment and everything that
this system had brought upon her

641
00:36:58,000 –> 00:37:01,040
and her family for Hebrews
severance from her Kennite

642
00:37:01,040 –> 00:37:04,800
family and her relocation away
from the ones that she loved and

643
00:37:04,800 –> 00:37:07,240
had fellowship.
With In the Hope of Israel.

644
00:37:07,440 –> 00:37:12,320
It had taken a huge.
Toll on her and she picks those

645
00:37:12,320 –> 00:37:19,920
two things to exact her
premeditated revenge and know

646
00:37:19,920 –> 00:37:28,480
what she does verse 21 sees that
she tipped toes into the bedroom

647
00:37:30,040 –> 00:37:35,000
and she.
Smoked the nail into his temples

648
00:37:35,760 –> 00:37:42,400
and fastened it into the ground.
You know, when we reconcile.

649
00:37:42,400 –> 00:37:47,360
Judges 5.
What we see in the story is what

650
00:37:47,360 –> 00:37:49,600
actually happens was so fast and
full.

651
00:37:49,600 –> 00:37:52,720
Of fury and an activity like you
wouldn’t believe right and it

652
00:37:52,720 –> 00:37:55,720
was a frenzied moment because
what actually happened was she

653
00:37:55,760 –> 00:37:58,040
didn’t just come out and balance
the tent peg.

654
00:37:58,040 –> 00:38:00,400
This is not just a normal little
tent peg that we have.

655
00:38:00,400 –> 00:38:04,440
This was a a huge whopping great
big wooden tent peg.

656
00:38:05,800 –> 00:38:09,240
So what happens in the story?
In Judges chapter 5, when we

657
00:38:09,240 –> 00:38:12,040
reconcile it is is that firstly
it says.

658
00:38:12,040 –> 00:38:14,680
So verse 26 she put.
Her hand to the nail, and her

659
00:38:14,680 –> 00:38:16,200
right hand to the workman’s
hammer.

660
00:38:16,480 –> 00:38:18,720
This is Judges 5, verse 26.
And with the.

661
00:38:18,720 –> 00:38:22,200
Hammer she smote.
Sisera, She smote his head when

662
00:38:22,200 –> 00:38:24,320
she had pierced.
And stricken through his

663
00:38:24,320 –> 00:38:26,920
temples.
At her feet he bowed, he fell,

664
00:38:26,920 –> 00:38:30,760
he lay down at her feet he
bowed, he fell where he bowed,

665
00:38:30,760 –> 00:38:32,760
there he fell down dead and in
the.

666
00:38:32,760 –> 00:38:35,560
Hebrew by the sisters.
This is how it describes it.

667
00:38:35,840 –> 00:38:39,120
She first hit him over the head.
With a hammer.

668
00:38:40,320 –> 00:38:42,800
And and she hit him over the
hammer with the purpose of to

669
00:38:42,800 –> 00:38:45,560
smite in pieces, to smite
through.

670
00:38:46,080 –> 00:38:50,760
And then she smote him again to
dash him in pieces and to Pierce

671
00:38:50,760 –> 00:38:53,280
him and bore him through.
That’s really what it means in

672
00:38:53,280 –> 00:38:56,480
the Hebrew to smite with a
hammer, to smite in pieces, to

673
00:38:56,480 –> 00:39:00,000
smite or to dash in pieces, and
to Pierce him to bore through.

674
00:39:00,600 –> 00:39:02,800
So I think what we can reconcile
in the story.

675
00:39:02,800 –> 00:39:04,920
Is that she first hit him over
the head with a hammer.

676
00:39:05,080 –> 00:39:08,120
And as she did so, he.
Reared up and in panic moments

677
00:39:08,120 –> 00:39:10,600
she hit him again and again,
knocking him down.

678
00:39:10,600 –> 00:39:13,280
Then she grabbed the tent peg,
bounced it on his head, and

679
00:39:13,280 –> 00:39:15,840
drove it to his temples,
repeatedly hitting him in a

680
00:39:16,080 –> 00:39:21,120
frenzied attack until she was
absolutely, 100% convinced that

681
00:39:21,120 –> 00:39:27,320
he was gone because while his
head was crushed, only then did

682
00:39:27,320 –> 00:39:30,240
she stop hitting him.
This was a.

683
00:39:30,240 –> 00:39:33,800
Frenzied attack and there.
Lying at her feet.

684
00:39:34,480 –> 00:39:36,560
Lay the man.
Who she hated.

685
00:39:37,160 –> 00:39:39,760
Cicera, in his own blood, pinned
to the floor.

686
00:39:39,760 –> 00:39:41,000
This.
Was.

687
00:39:41,000 –> 00:39:46,320
Retribution of poetic form.
Jail reenacted out brothers and.

688
00:39:46,320 –> 00:39:50,560
Sisters.
Think about this jail reenacted

689
00:39:50,560 –> 00:39:56,440
out what the deceitful agreement
and a better lifestyle had done

690
00:39:56,440 –> 00:39:59,800
to her.
You see she.

691
00:39:59,800 –> 00:40:02,760
Felt pinned.
She felt trapped.

692
00:40:02,880 –> 00:40:07,320
She felt crushed.
She reenacts out what that peace

693
00:40:07,320 –> 00:40:11,000
accord had done to.
Her and her family.

694
00:40:11,800 –> 00:40:14,040
You see, whilst Jabin and
Caesar’s peace accord and

695
00:40:14,040 –> 00:40:17,040
employment proposition had
offered Heber the freedom and

696
00:40:17,040 –> 00:40:19,680
the opportunity to do what he
wanted to achieve what he

697
00:40:19,680 –> 00:40:24,360
needed, it had fastened and
caused jail to be pinned in a

698
00:40:24,360 –> 00:40:27,040
place she never.
Wanted to be in the first place.

699
00:40:31,640 –> 00:40:34,320
In interaction she fulfills the
prophecy of Deborah, doesn’t

700
00:40:34,320 –> 00:40:36,960
she?
Yahweh sees step 4IN verse 9

701
00:40:36,960 –> 00:40:40,800
Deborah sees Yahweh self Sisera.
Into the hand of a woman.

702
00:40:41,880 –> 00:40:47,640
And it sees in Judges chapter 4
and in verse 21 she takes the

703
00:40:47,640 –> 00:40:51,280
hammer in her hand and destroys
him.

704
00:40:53,640 –> 00:40:55,720
And she thrust them through the.
Temples Why are we given the?

705
00:40:55,720 –> 00:40:58,480
Detail of that.
Why the temples?

706
00:40:59,320 –> 00:41:02,120
Why the detail?
Well, firstly and excuse.

707
00:41:02,280 –> 00:41:05,280
Probably the grossness of.
This, but it was the easiest

708
00:41:05,280 –> 00:41:07,840
place to penetrate.
It’s the fattest, the flattest

709
00:41:07,840 –> 00:41:10,200
part of the head.
It’s right in the middle.

710
00:41:10,360 –> 00:41:13,240
When you’re sleeping on the
side, it’s the softest and

711
00:41:13,240 –> 00:41:14,600
thinnest.
Part of the head, there’s no

712
00:41:14,600 –> 00:41:17,840
bone to contend with and so.
She firstly used the easiest

713
00:41:17,840 –> 00:41:19,000
place.
To drive it through but.

714
00:41:19,000 –> 00:41:22,240
The temples have a biblical
significance.

715
00:41:22,840 –> 00:41:25,040
It’s only used twice.
Outside of this scenario in the

716
00:41:25,040 –> 00:41:26,680
Song of Solomon.
Chapter.

717
00:41:26,680 –> 00:41:29,800
Four and verse 3 and chapter 6
and verse 7 the only two other

718
00:41:29,800 –> 00:41:33,880
times and it’s on both of those
occasions it’s likened to a

719
00:41:33,880 –> 00:41:37,840
piece of pomegranate.
It’s read on the outside and

720
00:41:37,840 –> 00:41:42,840
white inside.
Can understand why the like the

721
00:41:42,840 –> 00:41:43,800
likeness.
Works.

722
00:41:44,080 –> 00:41:47,480
But inside a.
Pomegranate brother sisters is

723
00:41:47,600 –> 00:41:49,080
a.
Thing.

724
00:41:49,440 –> 00:41:52,520
Full of seeds.
Just like the brain.

725
00:41:53,360 –> 00:41:56,040
It’s red on the outside, white
on the inside of full of seeds.

726
00:41:56,040 –> 00:41:59,240
And jail.
Well, jail attempted.

727
00:41:59,240 –> 00:42:03,640
Not only to destroy Sisera, but
she wanted to destroy the

728
00:42:03,640 –> 00:42:07,320
thinking of Sisera.
She wanted to destroy the seed

729
00:42:07,360 –> 00:42:11,160
of Cicera’s serpent.
She wanted to destroy everything

730
00:42:11,240 –> 00:42:15,080
about Cicera, his actions, his
motives, his mentality, that it

731
00:42:15,080 –> 00:42:19,400
might no longer capture or might
no longer dominate anyone else

732
00:42:19,480 –> 00:42:21,760
ever again.
And she punched a teed peg

733
00:42:21,760 –> 00:42:25,440
through both temples that his
brain might never escape.

734
00:42:27,360 –> 00:42:29,600
And she killed him in two
stages, knocked him out first

735
00:42:29,600 –> 00:42:31,480
with a hammer and pegged him
into the ground.

736
00:42:32,560 –> 00:42:35,080
Very similar when we go through
the story of Daniel chapter 2

737
00:42:35,080 –> 00:42:36,640
the.
Smiting of the image on the feet

738
00:42:36,640 –> 00:42:39,400
and the crushing of it to powder
the story of David when he

739
00:42:39,400 –> 00:42:41,640
knocks him out with a stone and
the cutting off of his head.

740
00:42:41,840 –> 00:42:43,960
There was, if we’re ever.
Going to overcome.

741
00:42:43,960 –> 00:42:45,440
The enemy in ourselves it
requires.

742
00:42:45,440 –> 00:42:47,800
Us to be totally.
And utterly committed.

743
00:42:48,440 –> 00:42:51,760
To destroy often requires 2
stages to.

744
00:42:51,840 –> 00:42:57,880
Actually get it done and she’s
smote him on the head and then.

745
00:42:57,880 –> 00:43:04,040
Crushed his skull.
Meanwhile, brothers and sisters.

746
00:43:04,920 –> 00:43:08,320
On the battlefield.
Bairack realises that Sister has

747
00:43:08,320 –> 00:43:13,000
escaped and finding evidence of
Sister’s subtle retreat, he sets

748
00:43:13,000 –> 00:43:15,640
off in foot.
Verse 22.

749
00:43:15,640 –> 00:43:19,160
You can just you have to picture
the scene and the record gives

750
00:43:19,160 –> 00:43:20,400
us a little bit of, you know,
whenever.

751
00:43:20,400 –> 00:43:24,720
You see keywords like this verse
22, and behold, as Bairack

752
00:43:24,720 –> 00:43:27,320
pursues right whenever you see
that it’s the Bible.

753
00:43:27,320 –> 00:43:31,600
Shouting at us.
Behold, he says, as Bayrak

754
00:43:31,600 –> 00:43:34,080
pursues.
Outcomes the corner of the tent

755
00:43:34,080 –> 00:43:35,200
flat.
Door comes in.

756
00:43:35,520 –> 00:43:36,800
Oh.
Boy, you want to see this?

757
00:43:36,800 –> 00:43:39,240
Side.
You see, here comes a.

758
00:43:39,240 –> 00:43:40,600
Woman.
Who goes?

759
00:43:40,760 –> 00:43:45,600
Out to meet now, Bayrak.
And as jail steps away from.

760
00:43:45,600 –> 00:43:48,800
Sisera’s lifeless body.
And probably headless.

761
00:43:48,800 –> 00:43:51,440
Also, she hears Bayrak’s noisy
pursuit.

762
00:43:51,800 –> 00:43:54,440
As she had with Sisera.
And goes out to meet him.

763
00:43:54,440 –> 00:43:56,680
He’s gonna link those.
Jail went out to meet Sisera.

764
00:43:56,680 –> 00:43:58,240
Jail now goes out to meet
Bayrak.

765
00:43:59,720 –> 00:44:02,000
A picture of the scene Bearat
comes around the corner and

766
00:44:02,000 –> 00:44:05,120
emerging from the tent stood a
woman, the hammer probably still

767
00:44:05,120 –> 00:44:08,920
dangling from her hand, covered
head to toe with blood and

768
00:44:08,920 –> 00:44:09,680
brain.
Tissue.

769
00:44:10,440 –> 00:44:13,960
Her hair wild, her eyes
bloodshot but humble.

770
00:44:13,960 –> 00:44:17,000
In her.
Victory, and look what she says.

771
00:44:18,520 –> 00:44:23,160
Come, and I will show thee the
man whom you seek.

772
00:44:23,800 –> 00:44:27,040
First, there’d have been the
shot for Bayreq seeing jail in

773
00:44:27,040 –> 00:44:29,360
this state.
The second shot was seeing

774
00:44:29,360 –> 00:44:32,080
Sisera and the murder scene,
other sisters.

775
00:44:32,320 –> 00:44:34,480
Sisera lay down dead.
As he goes into the tent, he

776
00:44:34,480 –> 00:44:36,320
sees the nail bang through his
head.

777
00:44:37,520 –> 00:44:38,760
There was no.
Doubt.

778
00:44:39,240 –> 00:44:42,400
What had happened in that tent
there was no doubt.

779
00:44:42,400 –> 00:44:44,360
Who’d killed him and Deborah’s
woods?

780
00:44:44,360 –> 00:44:47,720
Words would have rung straight
through his mind as he witnessed

781
00:44:47,720 –> 00:44:52,200
the scene from verse 9.
That Yahweh.

782
00:44:52,200 –> 00:44:56,960
Shall sell Sisera into the hand
of a woman.

783
00:44:58,680 –> 00:45:03,760
Exactly as Debra had prophesied,
and thus God subdued on that day

784
00:45:04,200 –> 00:45:08,200
Jabin, king of Canaan, before
all the children of Israel.

785
00:45:09,000 –> 00:45:10,440
Bairak knew that it was.
God.

786
00:45:10,760 –> 00:45:13,760
Who had fought for him?
God who delivered the entire

787
00:45:13,760 –> 00:45:18,320
host and God who?
Had worked with jail to slay

788
00:45:18,320 –> 00:45:20,600
Sisera.
And it all.

789
00:45:20,600 –> 00:45:26,880
Fell into place for Bairak.
This is the day that Yahweh hath

790
00:45:26,880 –> 00:45:29,720
described.
Is not Yahweh gone out before

791
00:45:29,720 –> 00:45:31,960
thee?
And this galvanized Bairak now

792
00:45:32,320 –> 00:45:36,480
to lead the entire rest of the
army and all those that they

793
00:45:36,480 –> 00:45:40,680
could muster to take on the rest
of Jabin and all.

794
00:45:40,680 –> 00:45:44,720
Of his hosts.
To take back the territory.

795
00:45:46,280 –> 00:45:51,760
That they once had lost.
Brothers and sisters, that

796
00:45:51,760 –> 00:45:55,840
gruesome story is absolutely
captured.

797
00:45:55,840 –> 00:45:59,000
For us.
In the battle that our Lord

798
00:45:59,000 –> 00:46:02,280
accomplished for each and every
one of us.

799
00:46:04,080 –> 00:46:06,280
See, Because in the story,
brothers and sisters, in the

800
00:46:06,280 –> 00:46:12,960
crushing of this seed of the
serpent, we can’t but help to

801
00:46:12,960 –> 00:46:18,440
see the type of our Lord Jesus
Christ in the accomplishment of

802
00:46:18,440 –> 00:46:21,560
the destruction of sin.
Come with me, do.

803
00:46:22,080 –> 00:46:34,170
Hebrews chapter. 2 You see, our
Lord took on in himself.

804
00:46:36,250 –> 00:46:39,810
This thinking of the soup.
And crushed him.

805
00:46:43,850 –> 00:46:48,210
Hebrews.
Chapter 2 and verse 14 says.

806
00:46:50,920 –> 00:46:57,400
Or as much then, as the children
of are partakers of flesh and

807
00:46:57,400 –> 00:47:03,640
blood, He.
Also himself likewise.

808
00:47:04,640 –> 00:47:09,920
Took part of the same that.
Through death he might destroy

809
00:47:09,920 –> 00:47:14,360
him that had the power of death.
Which is the Diabolos?

810
00:47:15,440 –> 00:47:19,440
And note what it says now and
deliver them.

811
00:47:20,440 –> 00:47:24,480
Who through fear of death with
all their lifetime.

812
00:47:25,200 –> 00:47:29,640
Subject now to bondage.
For verily he took not himself

813
00:47:29,640 –> 00:47:33,280
the nature of angels, but took
on him the seed of Abraham.

814
00:47:33,280 –> 00:47:36,520
Wherefore in all things it
behoved him to be made like unto

815
00:47:36,520 –> 00:47:39,920
his brethren, that he might be a
merciful and faithful high

816
00:47:39,920 –> 00:47:44,160
priest in things pertaining to
God, to make reconciliation for

817
00:47:44,160 –> 00:47:48,040
the sins of the people.
For in that he himself.

818
00:47:48,280 –> 00:47:53,400
Hath suffered being tended.
He is able to succor them that

819
00:47:53,400 –> 00:47:58,360
are tended.
And you see in jails time by

820
00:47:58,360 –> 00:48:00,920
the.
Sisters, she delivers.

821
00:48:01,320 –> 00:48:03,560
The nation of Israel from the
one.

822
00:48:04,200 –> 00:48:09,280
That had captivated them, that
had oppressed them.

823
00:48:10,840 –> 00:48:14,160
And our Lord Jesus.
Christ, in his putting to death

824
00:48:14,720 –> 00:48:22,600
of the flesh, delivered all of
those who through fear of death

825
00:48:22,720 –> 00:48:26,680
have been all their lifetime
subject to bondage.

826
00:48:28,640 –> 00:48:32,840
And so, brothers and sisters, as
we consider his sacrifice and we

827
00:48:32,840 –> 00:48:38,440
consider what He achieved for
each and every one of us, let us

828
00:48:38,440 –> 00:48:44,480
not see the clinical aspects of
Christ’s sacrifice, but the

829
00:48:44,480 –> 00:48:50,760
murder scene that took place,
that we might have life and have

830
00:48:50,760 –> 00:48:51,440
it more abundantly.
