1
\n00:00:13,240 –> 00:00:14,640
\nWelcome to good Chrysalfian
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:14,640 –> 00:00:15,920
\nI’m Levi.
\nI’m Chris. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:16,120 –> 00:00:18,320
\nI’m Juliston.
\nAnd I’m Brian, thank you for <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:18,320 –> 00:00:21,120
\njoining us this week.
\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:21,120 –> 00:00:24,640
\ntalk a week to help us get the
\nBible in our Daily News feed. <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:24,880 –> 00:00:28,440
\nEach week we post a talk that we
\npreviewed from suggestions sent <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:28,440 –> 00:00:29,920
\nin by listeners from around the
\nworld. <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:30,040 –> 00:00:33,640
\nThen we record a short intro
\nbeforehand as a personalized <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:33,640 –> 00:00:36,440
\nrecommendation to you on why we
\nare sharing the talk. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:36,600 –> 00:00:39,600
\nAnd now let’s talk more about
\nthis week’s talk. <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:51,520 –> 00:00:53,640
\nWelcome to the good Chris
\nAdelphian Talks podcast. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:54,160 –> 00:00:56,880
\nThis is brother Brian.
\nIt’s been a while since I’ve <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:56,880 –> 00:01:01,760
\nbeen able to have the time to go
\nto contribute to posting a <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:01,760 –> 00:01:04,680
\ncouple of good classes.
\nGlad to be able to be back, and <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:04,680 –> 00:01:07,880
\nhopefully I’ll be able to send a
\ncouple cool ones in soon enough.<\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:08,720 –> 00:01:12,000
\nThis week’s talk is an
\nexhortation that was given by <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:12,080 –> 00:01:15,640
\nBrother Aaron McAdams at the
\nMorristown Aklesia a few months <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:15,640 –> 00:01:18,480
\nago.
\nBrother Aaron was actually <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:18,480 –> 00:01:23,760
\nvisiting on a weekend when we
\nhad a triple baptism and his <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:23,840 –> 00:01:30,440
\noriginal exhort was able to
\namplify the already emotionally <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:30,440 –> 00:01:32,840
\nand spiritually charged feeling
\nof the morning. <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:33,960 –> 00:01:37,720
\nAnd then his earnest
\nappreciation for what had taken <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:37,720 –> 00:01:43,840
\nplace made for a very memorable
\nstory or a tie into the story of<\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:44,120 –> 00:01:47,760
\nNaboth’s vineyard.
\nSo the main thrust of the exhort<\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:47,760 –> 00:01:52,680
\nwas about the recent
\narchaeological discovery of a <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:52,760 –> 00:01:58,600
\nvineyard that plausibly could
\nhave been the one that Ahab took<\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:58,640 –> 00:02:02,840
\nfrom Naboth.
\nBut when revisiting the record <\/p>\n

28
\n00:02:02,840 –> 00:02:06,920
\nfrom First Kings 21, brother
\nAaron paints the picture of a <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:07,600 –> 00:02:14,800
\nfaithful servant who in fact did
\nnot die and did not lose his <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:14,800 –> 00:02:21,640
\nvineyard because he believed God
\nand he believed that it was his <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:21,640 –> 00:02:24,280
\ninheritance.
\nAnd brother Aaron made the tie <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:24,280 –> 00:02:31,880
\nin that giving up our claim to
\nGod, giving up our inheritance <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:31,880 –> 00:02:35,480
\nin the Kingdom is essentially
\nnon negotiable. <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:36,560 –> 00:02:39,840
\nThere are also a lot of really
\ncool Bible echoes regarding what<\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:39,840 –> 00:02:42,320
\nNaboth stands for in the rest of
\nScripture. <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:43,200 –> 00:02:46,400
\nAnd I found that in the months
\nsince that he gave this one, I <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:46,400 –> 00:02:51,720
\njust keep going back to it.
\nSo as always, we hope that this <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:51,720 –> 00:02:53,960
\nstrengthens your faith and
\nbrightens your day. <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:54,640 –> 00:02:58,480
\nBrother Aaron McAdams, The
\ninheritance of Naboth. <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:59,600 –> 00:03:04,040
\nGood morning.
\nWow, it’s been a while since <\/p>\n

41
\n00:03:04,040 –> 00:03:06,600
\nI’ve been here.
\nCan you all feel it? <\/p>\n

42
\n00:03:07,240 –> 00:03:09,360
\nWhat happened this morning,
\nbrother? <\/p>\n

43
\n00:03:09,360 –> 00:03:11,720
\nI, I I don’t know how you got
\nthrough that. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:03:12,520 –> 00:03:18,840
\nWhat an amazing day.
\nIn Full disclosure, when my <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:18,840 –> 00:03:22,280
\nsister, wife Kelly asked if I
\nwould exhort this morning, I <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:22,280 –> 00:03:26,760
\nsaid glad, happy to do so and
\nshe forgot to tell me an <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:26,760 –> 00:03:30,960
\nimportant piece of information
\nand that was there was going to <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:30,960 –> 00:03:36,280
\nbe 3 baptisms this morning and
\nwhich which is amazing thing. <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:36,280 –> 00:03:40,040
\nIt’s what a wonderful day.
\nYou know, as we know, the angels<\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:40,040 –> 00:03:41,640
\nin heaven are rejoicing for this
\nday. <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:41,640 –> 00:03:45,560
\nSo congratulations and can we
\nfeel it right? <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:45,560 –> 00:03:49,440
\nThe times that we’re living in
\nthe times and the things that <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:49,440 –> 00:03:52,920
\nare happening, which caused the
\nthree of you to say, right, I <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:52,920 –> 00:03:56,760
\nwill, I will answer the call.
\nThere are things happening that <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:56,760 –> 00:04:01,480
\nare beyond me and, and what a
\nwonderful, wonderful day. <\/p>\n

56
\n00:04:01,480 –> 00:04:05,240
\nSo we, we rejoice with you.
\nIt’s exciting to be here. <\/p>\n

57
\n00:04:06,440 –> 00:04:09,080
\nAnd I think fittingly, I’d, I’d
\nlike to just spend some minutes,<\/p>\n

58
\n00:04:09,080 –> 00:04:12,960
\nsome time this morning talking
\nabout inheritance because that’s<\/p>\n

59
\n00:04:13,080 –> 00:04:15,240
\nessentially what you’ve done
\nthis morning, right? <\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:15,240 –> 00:04:20,760
\nYou have taken on not only the
\nsame name of Christ, but you <\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:20,760 –> 00:04:25,080
\nhave partaken of or attached
\nyour name to an inheritance. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:25,880 –> 00:04:29,280
\nAnd it’s a beautiful thing.
\nSo to talk about inheritance, I <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:29,280 –> 00:04:32,440
\nwant to, to go back and if you,
\nif you have a chance, we’ll get <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:32,440 –> 00:04:33,960
\nthere eventually.
\nWe’re going to go back to first <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:33,960 –> 00:04:36,640
\nKings 21.
\nIt’s a story that we know from <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:36,640 –> 00:04:43,280
\nSunday school, perhaps.
\nAnd to preface that about seven <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:43,280 –> 00:04:48,600
\nyears ago in Israel, there was
\nan archaeological discovery that<\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:48,600 –> 00:04:52,480
\nwas made.
\nAnd what the archaeologists <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:52,480 –> 00:04:56,520
\nfound, they’ve been working here
\nfor quite a while, is they found<\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:56,520 –> 00:05:00,880
\nwhat they believe, or some of
\nthem believe to be the vineyard <\/p>\n

71
\n00:05:00,880 –> 00:05:06,680
\nof Naboth, a name that we may
\nremember from First Kings 21. <\/p>\n

72
\n00:05:07,760 –> 00:05:11,480
\nAnd here’s a quote from from one
\nof the head archaeologists <\/p>\n

73
\n00:05:11,480 –> 00:05:14,400
\nbecause the question came up,
\nyou know, do you really believe <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:14,400 –> 00:05:18,000
\nthis was Naboth?
\nThis is a this is a big story in<\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:18,000 –> 00:05:22,240
\nthe Old Testament.
\nAnd this was her response. <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:22,240 –> 00:05:26,440
\nShe said, as an archaeologist, I
\ncannot say there was definitely <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:26,440 –> 00:05:30,880
\na specific man named Naboth who
\nhad a particular vineyard. <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:31,960 –> 00:05:34,680
\nThis story is very old.
\nBut from what I have found, I <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:34,680 –> 00:05:37,920
\ncan say that the story as
\ndescribed in the Bible quite <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:37,920 –> 00:05:41,720
\nprobably could have occurred
\nhere in the Jezreel Valley. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:42,240 –> 00:05:45,880
\nAnd this was at the not the
\nstart, but the kind of <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:45,880 –> 00:05:49,040
\naccumulation of all these digs
\nwhere they have mapped out the <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:49,040 –> 00:05:51,840
\nJezreel Valley, which is in sort
\nof North Central Israel, <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:52,360 –> 00:05:56,040
\nnorthern Israel, really below
\nthe Sea of Galilee, the the <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:56,040 –> 00:05:59,800
\nmountains of Israel to their NA
\nlittle bit to the north of the <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:59,800 –> 00:06:04,240
\nWest Bank.
\nAnd she, she finished by saying <\/p>\n

87
\n00:06:04,240 –> 00:06:06,560
\nthis.
\nThis was the last quote in the <\/p>\n

88
\n00:06:06,560 –> 00:06:09,280
\narticle that I read.
\nIt said there is no doubt that <\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:09,280 –> 00:06:13,680
\nthe Bible is a useful source.
\nAll archaeologists use the <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:13,680 –> 00:06:19,040
\nBible, but some use it more
\ncautiously. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:20,800 –> 00:06:26,080
\nI thought it was striking given
\nthe story of First Kings 21, <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:26,480 –> 00:06:32,040
\nwhere a very particular man, a
\nbrother, laid out his faith, his<\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:32,040 –> 00:06:37,800
\ninheritance on the line.
\nNew sisters. <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:37,800 –> 00:06:40,560
\nIt’s, it’s something that you’re
\nbeing called to do as well. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:41,400 –> 00:06:46,320
\nAnd those who heed that call
\nand, and enter those waters of <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:46,320 –> 00:06:50,720
\nbaptism, it’s, it’s a, it’s a
\ndifficult thing. <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:50,720 –> 00:06:52,560
\nBrother Brian mentioned that
\nthis morning. <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:52,560 –> 00:06:57,440
\nIt, it will be hard and, and the
\nstruggle is a real one. <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:58,280 –> 00:07:06,160
\nAnd it’s a continuous, ongoing
\nfight, right, time after time <\/p>\n

100
\n00:07:06,160 –> 00:07:09,040
\nafter time in a world that
\nchallenges us. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:07:09,040 –> 00:07:12,080
\nAnd we just need to look around
\nand you all know, right, the <\/p>\n

102
\n00:07:12,080 –> 00:07:16,640
\nthings that are happening right
\nnow across the world, wars and <\/p>\n

103
\n00:07:16,640 –> 00:07:21,840
\nrumors of wars and, and, you
\nknow, nations that are that are <\/p>\n

104
\n00:07:22,120 –> 00:07:27,360
\nmaking preparations for a big
\nwar, not just little, you know, <\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:27,360 –> 00:07:30,520
\nregional things.
\nThis is big stuff. <\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:33,640 –> 00:07:37,520
\nWhat was found next to the
\npalace they know that Ahab lived<\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:37,520 –> 00:07:44,840
\nin, a documented king of Israel,
\nwas a vineyard, a whole series <\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:44,840 –> 00:07:49,080
\nof vineyards.
\nWe believe because we read our <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:49,080 –> 00:07:55,840
\nBible carefully, Cautiously,
\nyes, but with the light in the <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:55,840 –> 00:08:01,240
\neye of faith, we believe that
\nwas indeed Naboth’s vineyard. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:08:02,400 –> 00:08:06,920
\nWe also don’t believe that it’s
\njust a coincidence that here in <\/p>\n

112
\n00:08:06,920 –> 00:08:13,080
\nthe last days, that vineyard has
\nbeen found and identified, <\/p>\n

113
\n00:08:14,360 –> 00:08:18,360
\nindeed an inheritance that was
\nnever lost. <\/p>\n

114
\n00:08:19,480 –> 00:08:24,320
\nIsn’t that a beautiful thing?
\nWhat a beautiful lesson for us <\/p>\n

115
\n00:08:25,080 –> 00:08:30,000
\nthat God has remembered that and
\nthese years, thousands of years <\/p>\n

116
\n00:08:30,000 –> 00:08:33,080
\nlater, has brought Naboth’s name
\nback. <\/p>\n

117
\n00:08:34,880 –> 00:08:37,600
\nIn Genesis, we learn that Yahweh
\nis the God of truth. <\/p>\n

118
\n00:08:38,080 –> 00:08:39,880
\nHe established creation and
\nlife. <\/p>\n

119
\n00:08:39,880 –> 00:08:44,600
\nHe builds and destroys kingdoms.
\nHe established His seed and the <\/p>\n

120
\n00:08:44,600 –> 00:08:48,600
\npromised ones through Abraham.
\nHe preserved access to the tree <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:48,600 –> 00:08:53,280
\nof life in Daniel, and I think
\nthis is very fitting for us <\/p>\n

122
\n00:08:53,280 –> 00:08:55,720
\ntoday.
\nWe read about how God sets <\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:55,720 –> 00:09:02,840
\nrulers in place and how He
\nremoves them, and he does it in <\/p>\n

124
\n00:09:02,840 –> 00:09:08,520
\nhis best interest and often
\nchooses the basis of human men <\/p>\n

125
\n00:09:08,920 –> 00:09:13,240
\nto do so that we typically
\nprobably wouldn’t choose. <\/p>\n

126
\n00:09:15,200 –> 00:09:17,680
\nWe find that God rules in the
\nkingdoms of men. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:09:17,840 –> 00:09:21,600
\nIn Job, we find out that God
\ncreates evil as well. <\/p>\n

128
\n00:09:22,400 –> 00:09:25,520
\nHe tests and rewards based on
\nhis judgments. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:09:26,240 –> 00:09:32,000
\nWe can’t earn anything.
\nHis angels are working with us. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:09:32,000 –> 00:09:34,480
\nAnd those angels that are
\nrejoicing this morning, in the <\/p>\n

131
\n00:09:34,480 –> 00:09:37,600
\nmidst of the chaos and the wars
\nand the things happening, they <\/p>\n

132
\n00:09:37,600 –> 00:09:42,560
\nare indeed rejoicing.
\nThey also work with each one of <\/p>\n

133
\n00:09:42,560 –> 00:09:48,720
\nus to strengthen and to teach.
\nAnd not just us, but others. <\/p>\n

134
\n00:09:49,440 –> 00:09:52,760
\nAnd the baptisms this morning
\nare the results of works right <\/p>\n

135
\n00:09:53,280 –> 00:09:57,800
\nby families and friends and
\nexperiences hard work and <\/p>\n

136
\n00:09:57,800 –> 00:10:02,200
\nconstant work of the angels of
\nGod, both mortal and immortal. <\/p>\n

137
\n00:10:03,600 –> 00:10:06,400
\nIn Romans, Brothers and sisters,
\nwe, we read this and don’t have <\/p>\n

138
\n00:10:06,400 –> 00:10:08,920
\nto turn here, You’ll, you’ll
\nknow these words well. <\/p>\n

139
\n00:10:10,480 –> 00:10:19,520
\nLikewise, the Spirit helps us in
\nour weakness, for we do not know<\/p>\n

140
\n00:10:19,520 –> 00:10:23,240
\nwhat to pray for as we ought,
\nbut the Spirit Himself <\/p>\n

141
\n00:10:23,240 –> 00:10:25,920
\nintercedes for us with groanings
\ntoo deep for words. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:10:26,240 –> 00:10:30,400
\nAnd he who searches hearts knows
\nwhat is the mind of the Spirit. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:10:30,920 –> 00:10:34,200
\nBecause the Spirit intercedes
\nfor Saints according to the will<\/p>\n

144
\n00:10:34,200 –> 00:10:38,360
\nof God.
\nAnd we know that for those who <\/p>\n

145
\n00:10:38,360 –> 00:10:43,040
\nlove God, all things work
\ntogether for good for those who <\/p>\n

146
\n00:10:43,040 –> 00:10:45,240
\nare called according to His
\npurpose. <\/p>\n

147
\n00:10:45,240 –> 00:10:48,200
\nAnd there’s a comfort there,
\nright? <\/p>\n

148
\n00:10:48,200 –> 00:10:51,480
\nBecause I don’t know about you,
\nbut there’s so many times when I<\/p>\n

149
\n00:10:51,480 –> 00:10:54,760
\ncome to to partake of the bread
\nand the wine and I don’t even <\/p>\n

150
\n00:10:54,760 –> 00:10:58,160
\nknow what to say.
\nAnd the places I’ve been or the <\/p>\n

151
\n00:10:58,160 –> 00:11:01,280
\nthings that I’ve said that the
\nwords that I’ve chosen in haste.<\/p>\n

152
\n00:11:03,600 –> 00:11:07,240
\nThis idea that he understands,
\nwe find it in so many ways. <\/p>\n

153
\n00:11:08,800 –> 00:11:12,840
\nAnd we also believe, right, that
\nhe hears us. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:11:13,840 –> 00:11:17,000
\nIf God is for us, who can be
\nagainst us? <\/p>\n

155
\n00:11:17,200 –> 00:11:22,840
\nThat passage ends, it seems,
\ncoming from another ecclesia <\/p>\n

156
\n00:11:22,840 –> 00:11:26,360
\nseveral hours away.
\nIt sees seems sometimes that all<\/p>\n

157
\n00:11:26,360 –> 00:11:31,560
\nwe hear is bad news.
\nAside from today’s rejoicing, it<\/p>\n

158
\n00:11:31,560 –> 00:11:34,760
\nseems like the burdens that we
\nhave and our family has or our <\/p>\n

159
\n00:11:34,760 –> 00:11:38,680
\nfriends have will never end.
\nIt’s it’s normal, I think, to <\/p>\n

160
\n00:11:38,680 –> 00:11:43,560
\nask as Job certainly did.
\nWhat why, when, when are you <\/p>\n

161
\n00:11:43,560 –> 00:11:48,240
\ncoming to come back?
\nWe hear stories up in in New <\/p>\n

162
\n00:11:48,240 –> 00:11:49,640
\nEngland.
\nThere was, you may have heard of<\/p>\n

163
\n00:11:49,640 –> 00:11:54,640
\nthem, the the Cannon family, the
\nCannon family, a lovely family <\/p>\n

164
\n00:11:54,640 –> 00:11:58,040
\nand the truth, you know, with
\nwith two boys and and a little <\/p>\n

165
\n00:11:58,040 –> 00:12:05,720
\ngirl and so strong from a little
\necclesia in Abington examples to<\/p>\n

166
\n00:12:05,720 –> 00:12:07,400
\nall.
\nAnd, and brother Tommy got <\/p>\n

167
\n00:12:07,400 –> 00:12:12,400
\ncancer and he was the only one
\nin the house working because <\/p>\n

168
\n00:12:12,400 –> 00:12:15,320
\nSister Shawna stayed home to
\nhome school, which hit us really<\/p>\n

169
\n00:12:15,320 –> 00:12:18,040
\nhard because that’s what Sister
\nKelly does. <\/p>\n

170
\n00:12:19,200 –> 00:12:21,120
\nSeems sometimes the burdens will
\nnever end. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:12:21,120 –> 00:12:25,600
\nIt’s hard to feel mighty when
\nthere are so many times we feel <\/p>\n

172
\n00:12:25,600 –> 00:12:28,440
\nso weak.
\nAnd we’re living in a world <\/p>\n

173
\n00:12:28,440 –> 00:12:32,440
\nwhere sin has been allowed to
\nflourish, right? <\/p>\n

174
\n00:12:32,440 –> 00:12:34,880
\nNot just flourish, but it’s
\nencouraged. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:12:35,160 –> 00:12:41,800
\nWe’re inundated with it,
\nmortality claims, it’s victims <\/p>\n

176
\n00:12:41,800 –> 00:12:45,240
\nevery day and family members.
\nAnd it’s, it’s natural for us to<\/p>\n

177
\n00:12:45,240 –> 00:12:48,320
\nask why.
\nAnd so if you’re back in First <\/p>\n

178
\n00:12:48,320 –> 00:12:53,120
\nKings 21, I think Naboth is a
\nreally good example of this. <\/p>\n

179
\n00:12:53,360 –> 00:12:57,280
\nHe’s an example of a, a faithful
\nbrother, a a brother who <\/p>\n

180
\n00:12:57,280 –> 00:13:04,040
\npersevered, a brother who was
\ncompassionate, and a brother <\/p>\n

181
\n00:13:04,040 –> 00:13:08,800
\nthat seems to be very
\nindependent of his king, who is <\/p>\n

182
\n00:13:08,800 –> 00:13:14,640
\nnot a particularly faithful man.
\nAnd those three things, his <\/p>\n

183
\n00:13:14,640 –> 00:13:18,160
\nperseverance, his independence,
\nand his compassion, I think come<\/p>\n

184
\n00:13:18,160 –> 00:13:21,280
\nout strongly in this story.
\nAnd they were brought out this <\/p>\n

185
\n00:13:21,280 –> 00:13:25,640
\nmorning as well in First Kings
\n21. <\/p>\n

186
\n00:13:25,800 –> 00:13:27,440
\nIt’s the story of Naboth’s
\nvineyard. <\/p>\n

187
\n00:13:27,560 –> 00:13:29,120
\nYou might know it from Sunday
\nSchool. <\/p>\n

188
\n00:13:29,280 –> 00:13:36,000
\nNaboth was a Jezreelite who had
\na vineyard, and the scripture <\/p>\n

189
\n00:13:36,000 –> 00:13:42,640
\nsays that it was hard by or
\nright next to Ahab’s palace, the<\/p>\n

190
\n00:13:42,640 –> 00:13:47,040
\nking of Samaria.
\nAnd we find out in the story <\/p>\n

191
\n00:13:47,360 –> 00:13:50,840
\nthat Ahab coveted what Naboth
\nhad. <\/p>\n

192
\n00:13:50,840 –> 00:13:55,400
\nAnd in our story, right, Ahab is
\nvery easy to connect to the <\/p>\n

193
\n00:13:55,400 –> 00:13:57,920
\nworld around us, right?
\nThere’s a lot of different <\/p>\n

194
\n00:13:57,920 –> 00:14:00,800
\nanalogies here.
\nBut just thinking today and, and<\/p>\n

195
\n00:14:00,800 –> 00:14:04,880
\nto our three young sisters, the
\nworld wants what you have. <\/p>\n

196
\n00:14:05,600 –> 00:14:08,560
\nIt wants it.
\nIt values it. <\/p>\n

197
\n00:14:08,560 –> 00:14:11,480
\nIt values you.
\nAnd it’s going to offer you. <\/p>\n

198
\n00:14:11,520 –> 00:14:13,720
\nAnd you know this.
\nIt’s going to offer you <\/p>\n

199
\n00:14:13,720 –> 00:14:17,000
\nsomething it considers to be
\nequal, right? <\/p>\n

200
\n00:14:17,360 –> 00:14:19,720
\nWell, here on Sunday morning,
\nyou can be doing this. <\/p>\n

201
\n00:14:19,720 –> 00:14:23,280
\nIt’s equal to what you would be
\ndoing, right? <\/p>\n

202
\n00:14:23,280 –> 00:14:26,640
\nAnd for everything we have and
\nwe want, the world says, I have <\/p>\n

203
\n00:14:26,640 –> 00:14:30,400
\nsomething that I think is equal.
\nHey, better than that. <\/p>\n

204
\n00:14:30,400 –> 00:14:36,640
\nAnd in the story, Ahab covets
\nNaboth’s vineyard. <\/p>\n

205
\n00:14:36,640 –> 00:14:41,960
\nHe asks Naboth for it, and
\nNaboth refuses, and Neha and and<\/p>\n

206
\n00:14:41,960 –> 00:14:44,800
\nNaboth refuses.
\nAnd so Ahab complaints to his <\/p>\n

207
\n00:14:44,800 –> 00:14:49,720
\nwife Jezebel, and she arranges
\nto have Naboth stones and she <\/p>\n

208
\n00:14:49,720 –> 00:14:55,280
\ngives her husband his vineyard.
\nIt’s never called Ahab’s <\/p>\n

209
\n00:14:55,280 –> 00:14:58,400
\nvineyard.
\nIt’s a harsh reminder, though, <\/p>\n

210
\n00:14:58,400 –> 00:15:00,880
\nof the cruelty we see everywhere
\nin the world around us. <\/p>\n

211
\n00:15:00,880 –> 00:15:04,560
\nAnd it’s a harsh reminder that
\nsometimes the choices that we <\/p>\n

212
\n00:15:04,560 –> 00:15:08,440
\nmake and who we stand for and
\nour inheritance does. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:15:08,440 –> 00:15:12,760
\nAnd really when it comes down to
\nit, it is a life or death <\/p>\n

214
\n00:15:13,040 –> 00:15:16,240
\nchoice.
\nComes down to these every day. <\/p>\n

215
\n00:15:17,800 –> 00:15:21,000
\nJust want to ask, if Ahab is the
\nking, he’s supposed to be the <\/p>\n

216
\n00:15:21,000 –> 00:15:23,320
\nrole model right?
\nHe’s supposed to be the <\/p>\n

217
\n00:15:23,320 –> 00:15:27,240
\nshepherding the people.
\nIf he’s the king, why would he <\/p>\n

218
\n00:15:27,240 –> 00:15:33,800
\ncovet someone else’s vineyard?
\nHis was bigger than Ahab’s. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:15:33,800 –> 00:15:38,640
\nNo doubt he had the best vine
\ndressers to take care of his <\/p>\n

220
\n00:15:38,640 –> 00:15:41,760
\nvineyard.
\nHe could afford to pay for that.<\/p>\n

221
\n00:15:43,040 –> 00:15:47,360
\nThe best wine makers were making
\nhis wine in his vineyard. <\/p>\n

222
\n00:15:49,720 –> 00:15:54,200
\nSo why did he covet what Ahab
\nhad, right? <\/p>\n

223
\n00:15:54,200 –> 00:15:56,480
\nIf we’re honest with ourselves,
\nwe know that’s what the flesh <\/p>\n

224
\n00:15:56,480 –> 00:15:58,920
\ndoes, right?
\nWe compare and we look and we <\/p>\n

225
\n00:15:58,920 –> 00:16:02,760
\nwant.
\nAnd so he didn’t have any <\/p>\n

226
\n00:16:02,760 –> 00:16:06,920
\nunderstanding or care of what
\nNebath’s inheritance was. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:16:07,520 –> 00:16:11,560
\nHe saw something maybe that was
\njust beautiful, the care of this<\/p>\n

228
\n00:16:11,560 –> 00:16:17,200
\nfaithful man who persevered in
\nthat vineyard, working every day<\/p>\n

229
\n00:16:17,440 –> 00:16:20,960
\nto make sure that those vines
\nwere taken care of, working for <\/p>\n

230
\n00:16:20,960 –> 00:16:25,160
\nhis master.
\nKing Ahab saw it as land, <\/p>\n

231
\n00:16:26,120 –> 00:16:28,640
\nsomething that he thought he
\ncould use to grow more or <\/p>\n

232
\n00:16:28,640 –> 00:16:31,000
\nsomething else than what he was
\ngrowing. <\/p>\n

233
\n00:16:32,000 –> 00:16:34,440
\nAnd I think he had that in
\ncommon with that archaeologist <\/p>\n

234
\n00:16:34,440 –> 00:16:39,120
\nwho found Naboth’s vineyard,
\nright, seven years ago, didn’t <\/p>\n

235
\n00:16:39,120 –> 00:16:43,360
\nreally understand the importance
\nof that inheritance. <\/p>\n

236
\n00:16:43,520 –> 00:16:51,360
\nAnd that man Naboth, who was a
\nreal believer, Ahab was as we <\/p>\n

237
\n00:16:51,360 –> 00:16:54,600
\ndon’t have to go there, but
\nDaniel 4 verse 17 so eloquently <\/p>\n

238
\n00:16:54,600 –> 00:17:00,680
\nrecords a base man, one of the
\nbasest or lowliest of men to <\/p>\n

239
\n00:17:00,680 –> 00:17:05,280
\nwhom God had given a Kingdom.
\nAnd it’s a simple lesson, isn’t <\/p>\n

240
\n00:17:05,280 –> 00:17:07,160
\nit, for the bread and wine this
\nmorning. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:17:08,040 –> 00:17:13,000
\nIt’s a simple lesson.
\nWe’re pressured every day by the<\/p>\n

242
\n00:17:13,000 –> 00:17:16,599
\nAhabs.
\nThey want us to give our <\/p>\n

243
\n00:17:16,599 –> 00:17:22,119
\ninheritance up.
\nThey offer equal value or more <\/p>\n

244
\n00:17:22,599 –> 00:17:26,800
\nthan what a reasonable person
\nwould take for what they own. <\/p>\n

245
\n00:17:28,440 –> 00:17:32,240
\nRemember, Ahab offered that not
\njust equal value, but more. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:17:32,600 –> 00:17:36,440
\nHe was the king.
\nHe had unlimited funds, but he <\/p>\n

247
\n00:17:36,440 –> 00:17:38,960
\nrealized there was nothing
\nbetter. <\/p>\n

248
\n00:17:38,960 –> 00:17:43,120
\nThat is Naboth, he said.
\nThere’s nothing better than my <\/p>\n

249
\n00:17:43,120 –> 00:17:52,320
\ninheritance.
\nMy hope it’s non negotiable. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:17:53,960 –> 00:17:57,560
\nAnd brothers and sisters, that’s
\nthat’s our answer. <\/p>\n

251
\n00:17:58,080 –> 00:18:04,440
\nIt has to be our answer every
\nday, even though when we’re <\/p>\n

252
\n00:18:04,440 –> 00:18:06,280
\nhonest with ourselves we know
\nit’s not. <\/p>\n

253
\n00:18:09,440 –> 00:18:11,800
\nBut we come here this morning to
\npartake of the bread and the <\/p>\n

254
\n00:18:11,800 –> 00:18:19,360
\nwine to recommit to that answer.
\nOur inheritance, God’s mercy and<\/p>\n

255
\n00:18:19,360 –> 00:18:24,040
\nHis love is non negotiable.
\nWe will not exchange it. <\/p>\n

256
\n00:18:26,320 –> 00:18:29,600
\nIn that same book of Job I
\nmentioned briefly before, we’re <\/p>\n

257
\n00:18:29,600 –> 00:18:32,640
\nreminded that God is in control
\nof what happens. <\/p>\n

258
\n00:18:32,640 –> 00:18:36,360
\nThings don’t just happen to us
\nor our families or our ecclesias<\/p>\n

259
\n00:18:36,360 –> 00:18:41,080
\nbecause we sin more right than
\nsomebody else or even in any in <\/p>\n

260
\n00:18:41,080 –> 00:18:44,400
\nany necessarily way in response
\nto what we’ve done. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:18:44,400 –> 00:18:47,440
\nIt could be for somebody else’s
\nexample or lesson. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:18:48,200 –> 00:18:51,320
\nWhat happens to us is part of
\nthe process of how God works. <\/p>\n

263
\n00:18:51,600 –> 00:18:54,640
\nAnd surely it was the same with
\nNaboth, right? <\/p>\n

264
\n00:18:54,640 –> 00:18:57,880
\nThose faithful around him
\nunderstood what was happening <\/p>\n

265
\n00:18:57,880 –> 00:19:01,920
\nand they were reminded of what
\ntheir faith where they needed to<\/p>\n

266
\n00:19:01,920 –> 00:19:04,800
\nstand.
\nIt’s all part of the short <\/p>\n

267
\n00:19:04,800 –> 00:19:08,400
\nprocess of life in a world where
\nsin has been allowed to <\/p>\n

268
\n00:19:08,400 –> 00:19:14,120
\nflourish.
\nWe must believe that just as God<\/p>\n

269
\n00:19:14,120 –> 00:19:17,680
\nwas working in Naboth’s life, he
\nwas working in the life of the <\/p>\n

270
\n00:19:17,680 –> 00:19:19,960
\ncanons.
\nAnd all those mentioned this <\/p>\n

271
\n00:19:19,960 –> 00:19:23,200
\nmorning by Brother Dave.
\nI I don’t know most of them <\/p>\n

272
\n00:19:23,600 –> 00:19:26,480
\nright, who aren’t here for
\nwhatever reason or who are here <\/p>\n

273
\n00:19:26,480 –> 00:19:29,960
\nand are struggling.
\nJust as he was working in <\/p>\n

274
\n00:19:29,960 –> 00:19:33,480
\nNaboth’s life, he is working in
\nyours and ours. <\/p>\n

275
\n00:19:34,760 –> 00:19:37,120
\nSo while it’s hard to feel
\nmighty when there are so many <\/p>\n

276
\n00:19:37,120 –> 00:19:40,160
\ntimes we feel weak and helpless,
\nbrothers and sisters, we have <\/p>\n

277
\n00:19:40,160 –> 00:19:45,680
\nchapters like first Kings 21
\nthat are given to remind us of <\/p>\n

278
\n00:19:45,680 –> 00:19:48,640
\nthe strength we can have through
\nour faith. <\/p>\n

279
\n00:19:48,640 –> 00:19:51,280
\nAnd brother Brian ended with one
\nof the last things you talked <\/p>\n

280
\n00:19:51,280 –> 00:19:55,680
\nabout was this idea that well,
\nsomething like this. <\/p>\n

281
\n00:19:55,680 –> 00:20:00,000
\nI want to miss, miss phrase you,
\nyou know, well, how do we know <\/p>\n

282
\n00:20:00,000 –> 00:20:03,440
\nwhat’s our proof right about
\nabout what’s going to happen <\/p>\n

283
\n00:20:03,440 –> 00:20:06,480
\nnext?
\nAnd he remind us that it’s it’s <\/p>\n

284
\n00:20:06,480 –> 00:20:09,000
\nfaith that God will do what he
\nhas promised. <\/p>\n

285
\n00:20:09,000 –> 00:20:11,480
\nAnd that’s what Naboth’s belief
\nwas too. <\/p>\n

286
\n00:20:11,480 –> 00:20:17,440
\nIt’s the same when we feel weak
\nand helpless. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:20:17,440 –> 00:20:22,080
\nWe have these chapters where we
\ncan gain strength, the same <\/p>\n

288
\n00:20:22,080 –> 00:20:24,080
\nstrength.
\nThe world will see his weakness.<\/p>\n

289
\n00:20:29,920 –> 00:20:32,840
\nThe same faith that brings the
\ncommunity together to pray for <\/p>\n

290
\n00:20:33,400 –> 00:20:36,200
\ninsert the name of the family or
\nthe brother or the sister, the <\/p>\n

291
\n00:20:36,240 –> 00:20:40,560
\nthe children or the friends that
\nare sick or that have lost a job<\/p>\n

292
\n00:20:40,560 –> 00:20:45,080
\nor are struggling.
\nIt’s how mighty we can be in our<\/p>\n

293
\n00:20:45,080 –> 00:20:50,280
\ncommunity.
\nEven though sometimes his answer<\/p>\n

294
\n00:20:50,280 –> 00:20:56,080
\nas we know, is not right now, or
\nhis answer is this is how it <\/p>\n

295
\n00:20:56,080 –> 00:21:00,440
\nmust happen, his answer is also
\nthere is a time to come when the<\/p>\n

296
\n00:21:00,440 –> 00:21:03,120
\npoor will hear the good news,
\nwhen the sick will be healed, <\/p>\n

297
\n00:21:03,120 –> 00:21:06,400
\nthe blind will receive their
\nsight, the lame will walk, the <\/p>\n

298
\n00:21:06,400 –> 00:21:09,920
\ndeaf will hear, and the dead
\nwill be raised to life again. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:21:12,560 –> 00:21:16,640
\nIt’s really remarkable and
\nbizarre thing, isn’t it, that we<\/p>\n

300
\n00:21:16,640 –> 00:21:24,040
\nbelieve the dead raised to life.
\nHow wonderful these mortal <\/p>\n

301
\n00:21:24,040 –> 00:21:26,320
\nbodies replaced with
\nimmortality. <\/p>\n

302
\n00:21:29,840 –> 00:21:35,160
\nFirst Kings chapter 21 is a
\nchapter about not death, not a <\/p>\n

303
\n00:21:35,480 –> 00:21:39,240
\nwicked and faithless king.
\nIt’s a chapter about joining <\/p>\n

304
\n00:21:39,240 –> 00:21:45,160
\ntogether an inheritance, a
\ncovenant, or a union. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:21:45,160 –> 00:21:48,920
\nIn stark contrast to the union
\nof wickedness between Ahab and <\/p>\n

306
\n00:21:48,920 –> 00:21:53,600
\nJezebel, this covenant embodies
\nthe inheritance. <\/p>\n

307
\n00:21:53,600 –> 00:21:57,080
\nEach one of us was given by our
\nHeavenly Father when we came up <\/p>\n

308
\n00:21:57,080 –> 00:22:01,560
\nout of the waters of baptism,
\npromise renewed when we set our <\/p>\n

309
\n00:22:01,560 –> 00:22:07,040
\nminds to serve our Father and
\nhis Son when we knew renew our <\/p>\n

310
\n00:22:07,040 –> 00:22:12,160
\ncovenants day by day, week by
\nweek, in prayer, reading His <\/p>\n

311
\n00:22:12,160 –> 00:22:13,880
\nWord and breaking bread
\ntogether. <\/p>\n

312
\n00:22:15,520 –> 00:22:18,560
\nLet’s just take a look at First
\nKings 21 brothers and sisters in<\/p>\n

313
\n00:22:18,560 –> 00:22:26,760
\nin in in in brief.
\nSo really, I love this. <\/p>\n

314
\n00:22:26,760 –> 00:22:30,240
\nYou know what’s really cool
\nabout First Kings 21? <\/p>\n

315
\n00:22:32,960 –> 00:22:43,480
\nNaboth doesn’t die.
\nNaboth doesn’t die. <\/p>\n

316
\n00:22:45,640 –> 00:22:51,600
\nI know in verse 10, First Kings
\n21, we read and set two men, <\/p>\n

317
\n00:22:51,600 –> 00:22:54,360
\nsons of Belial before him to
\nbear witness against him, <\/p>\n

318
\n00:22:54,360 –> 00:22:58,360
\nsaying, You did blasphemy God
\nand the king and carry him out <\/p>\n

319
\n00:22:58,360 –> 00:23:01,720
\nand stone him, that he may die.
\nAnd these wicked men Belial <\/p>\n

320
\n00:23:01,720 –> 00:23:05,320
\nmeans worthless.
\nThey talk about the stoning of <\/p>\n

321
\n00:23:05,320 –> 00:23:08,480
\nNaboth.
\nI know verse 13 says, and there <\/p>\n

322
\n00:23:08,480 –> 00:23:12,600
\ncame in two men, children of
\nBelial, worthless people, and <\/p>\n

323
\n00:23:12,600 –> 00:23:14,840
\nsat before him.
\nAnd the men of Belial witnessed <\/p>\n

324
\n00:23:14,840 –> 00:23:18,280
\nagainst him, even against
\nNaboth, it says at the end of <\/p>\n

325
\n00:23:18,280 –> 00:23:20,840
\nthat they carried him forth out
\nof the city and stoned him with <\/p>\n

326
\n00:23:20,840 –> 00:23:25,320
\nstones, that he died.
\nI know it says that, I know. <\/p>\n

327
\n00:23:25,320 –> 00:23:28,440
\nIt says in verse 14 that the
\nmessage was sent to Jezebel that<\/p>\n

328
\n00:23:28,640 –> 00:23:34,440
\nNaboth is not alive, but dead.
\nVerse 15, it mentions his death <\/p>\n

329
\n00:23:34,440 –> 00:23:38,360
\ntwice came to pass when Jezebel
\nheard that Naboth was stoned and<\/p>\n

330
\n00:23:38,360 –> 00:23:41,880
\nwas dead, that Jezebel said to
\nAhab, Arise, take possession of <\/p>\n

331
\n00:23:41,880 –> 00:23:44,840
\nthe vineyard of Naboth the
\nJezreelite, which he refused to <\/p>\n

332
\n00:23:44,840 –> 00:23:47,440
\ngive thee for money.
\nFor Naboth is not alive, but <\/p>\n

333
\n00:23:47,440 –> 00:23:49,480
\ndead.
\nThe Scripture actually goes out <\/p>\n

334
\n00:23:49,480 –> 00:23:53,760
\nof its way six times in this
\nchapter to tell us Naboth is <\/p>\n

335
\n00:23:53,760 –> 00:24:02,000
\ndead six times.
\nBut let’s read cautiously, shall<\/p>\n

336
\n00:24:02,000 –> 00:24:08,000
\nwe?
\nWhat do you really hear when we <\/p>\n

337
\n00:24:08,000 –> 00:24:16,320
\nread through verses 1 to 25?
\nNow Naboth the Jezreelite had a <\/p>\n

338
\n00:24:16,320 –> 00:24:19,160
\nvineyard in Jezreel.
\nVerse one. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:24:20,400 –> 00:24:24,400
\nVerse 2.
\nAfter this Ahab said to Naboth, <\/p>\n

340
\n00:24:25,120 –> 00:24:30,880
\nGive me your vineyard, I will
\ngive you a better vineyard for <\/p>\n

341
\n00:24:30,880 –> 00:24:33,160
\nit.
\nVerse three. <\/p>\n

342
\n00:24:33,160 –> 00:24:36,800
\nBut Naboth said to Ahab, the
\nLord forbid that I should give <\/p>\n

343
\n00:24:36,800 –> 00:24:43,800
\nyou the inheritance of my
\nfather’s verse four. <\/p>\n

344
\n00:24:44,760 –> 00:24:49,680
\nHe had said, I will not give you
\nthe inheritance of my father’s <\/p>\n

345
\n00:24:50,960 –> 00:24:54,440
\nverse six.
\nI spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite<\/p>\n

346
\n00:24:54,440 –> 00:24:59,200
\nand said, Give me your vineyard.
\nAnd he answered, I will not give<\/p>\n

347
\n00:24:59,200 –> 00:25:05,920
\nyou my vineyard for seven.
\nJezebel, his wife said, I will <\/p>\n

348
\n00:25:05,920 –> 00:25:09,720
\ngive you the vineyard of Naboth,
\nthe Jezreelite. <\/p>\n

349
\n00:25:13,600 –> 00:25:17,320
\nThere’s 15.
\nAs soon as Jezebel heard that <\/p>\n

350
\n00:25:17,320 –> 00:25:21,360
\nNaboth had been stoned and was
\ndead, Jezebel said to Ahab, take<\/p>\n

351
\n00:25:21,360 –> 00:25:31,920
\npossession of the vineyard of
\nNaboth the Jezreelites, for <\/p>\n

352
\n00:25:31,920 –> 00:25:37,800
\nNaboth is not alive but dead.
\nAnd verse 16, As soon as Ahab <\/p>\n

353
\n00:25:37,800 –> 00:25:41,440
\nheard that Naboth was dead, Ahab
\nrose to go down to the vineyard <\/p>\n

354
\n00:25:41,920 –> 00:25:47,920
\nof Naboth the Jezreelite.
\nVerse 18, behold, he is in the <\/p>\n

355
\n00:25:47,920 –> 00:25:50,480
\nvineyard of Naboth, where he has
\ngone to take possession. <\/p>\n

356
\n00:25:50,680 –> 00:25:54,400
\nVerse 21 met him at the property
\nof Naboth the Jezreelite. <\/p>\n

357
\n00:25:54,400 –> 00:25:58,120
\nVerse 25, take him and throw him
\nin the plot of ground belonging <\/p>\n

358
\n00:25:58,120 –> 00:26:01,520
\nto Nahab Naboth the Jezreelite
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

359
\n00:26:01,520 –> 00:26:07,520
\nIf Naboth the Jezreelite was
\ndead, how come Scripture teach <\/p>\n

360
\n00:26:07,520 –> 00:26:12,680
\ntelling us that’s his land?
\nNot saying, by the way, he <\/p>\n

361
\n00:26:12,680 –> 00:26:16,400
\nwasn’t really dead, right?
\nLooking through the Eye of Faith<\/p>\n

362
\n00:26:16,400 –> 00:26:20,640
\ncautiously, we understand that
\nalthough six times that chapter <\/p>\n

363
\n00:26:20,640 –> 00:26:24,280
\nmentions that he is dead,
\nalthough most of those come from<\/p>\n

364
\n00:26:24,280 –> 00:26:29,920
\nquestionable sources, 22 times
\nin that chapter Naboth’s name is<\/p>\n

365
\n00:26:29,920 –> 00:26:34,280
\nmentioned.
\nWell, overall, sorry, 20 * 12 <\/p>\n

366
\n00:26:34,280 –> 00:26:39,000
\ntimes it’s referenced alongside
\nthe vineyard of Naboth or the <\/p>\n

367
\n00:26:39,000 –> 00:26:43,000
\ninheritance of his father’s or
\nthe plot of ground belonging to <\/p>\n

368
\n00:26:43,000 –> 00:26:48,440
\nNaboth even after he’s dead.
\nIt’s called that see, neighbor <\/p>\n

369
\n00:26:48,600 –> 00:26:56,160
\nNaboth’s vineyard was producing
\nfruit in Naboth’s name and it <\/p>\n

370
\n00:26:56,160 –> 00:27:01,400
\nnever stopped.
\nAnd it’s been found today and <\/p>\n

371
\n00:27:01,400 –> 00:27:05,080
\nthey’ve found things that they
\nused to make the, the, the, the <\/p>\n

372
\n00:27:05,080 –> 00:27:11,440
\nwine to press the grapes.
\nAnd isn’t that interesting that <\/p>\n

373
\n00:27:11,440 –> 00:27:17,680
\nhere in 2024, the inheritance of
\na faithful man was found. <\/p>\n

374
\n00:27:17,680 –> 00:27:25,960
\nAnd along with that was a
\nremnant of wine and grapes in <\/p>\n

375
\n00:27:25,960 –> 00:27:30,240
\nthe last days it wrote.
\nIt was and it remained. <\/p>\n

376
\n00:27:30,240 –> 00:27:33,880
\nAnd it remains today Naboth’s
\ninheritance or seed forever. <\/p>\n

377
\n00:27:34,080 –> 00:27:40,080
\nScripture remembers Naboth with
\na living inheritance and hope. <\/p>\n

378
\n00:27:40,400 –> 00:27:42,080
\nAnd you know what Naboth’s name
\nmeans? <\/p>\n

379
\n00:27:42,440 –> 00:27:46,480
\nIt means fruit.
\nHe’s the only one named that in <\/p>\n

380
\n00:27:46,480 –> 00:27:49,640
\nScripture.
\nHe was named after a place <\/p>\n

381
\n00:27:49,640 –> 00:27:53,600
\ncalled Nob.
\nYou may remember that it was a <\/p>\n

382
\n00:27:53,600 –> 00:27:56,480
\npriestly city in Benjamin.
\nDo you remember what happened at<\/p>\n

383
\n00:27:56,480 –> 00:27:58,040
\nNob?
\nThis is where it gets really <\/p>\n

384
\n00:27:58,040 –> 00:28:02,280
\ninteresting.
\nIt’s where in First Samuel 21 we<\/p>\n

385
\n00:28:02,280 –> 00:28:05,160
\ndon’t have to go there for time,
\nwhere in first time with 21, <\/p>\n

386
\n00:28:05,160 –> 00:28:09,240
\nDavid and his men were were
\ngiven showbread to eat when they<\/p>\n

387
\n00:28:09,240 –> 00:28:14,480
\nwere hungry.
\nAnd David took the bread that <\/p>\n

388
\n00:28:14,480 –> 00:28:18,520
\nwas given to him, much like
\nChrist did at the Last Supper, <\/p>\n

389
\n00:28:19,920 –> 00:28:25,320
\nliterally for them bread of
\nlife, and distributed it to the <\/p>\n

390
\n00:28:25,320 –> 00:28:27,440
\nfaithful soldiers that were with
\nhim. <\/p>\n

391
\n00:28:29,840 –> 00:28:34,520
\nSee, Naboth was literally a
\nforeshadow of the living bread, <\/p>\n

392
\n00:28:35,120 –> 00:28:39,680
\nthe bread of life, and his
\ninheritance was a vineyard. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:28:42,280 –> 00:28:45,000
\nIn the life and death of Naboth,
\nthe Jezreelite were given a <\/p>\n

394
\n00:28:45,000 –> 00:28:49,120
\ndirect foreshadow, brothers and
\nsisters, to the breaking of <\/p>\n

395
\n00:28:49,120 –> 00:28:56,080
\nbread.
\nBut did anything else happen in <\/p>\n

396
\n00:28:56,080 –> 00:29:02,120
\nNab?
\nBut did anything else happen in <\/p>\n

397
\n00:29:02,120 –> 00:29:06,240
\nNob in first Samuel 22, the next
\nchapter, It’s where Saul finds <\/p>\n

398
\n00:29:06,240 –> 00:29:08,640
\nout where David is, and he goes,
\nand what does he do? <\/p>\n

399
\n00:29:08,960 –> 00:29:12,160
\nDavid goes to The Cave of
\nAdolem, which means the justice <\/p>\n

400
\n00:29:12,440 –> 00:29:16,880
\nof the people, and he’s hiding
\nthere while Saul kills all the <\/p>\n

401
\n00:29:16,880 –> 00:29:21,120
\npriests that had helped David.
\nAll the priests at Nob are <\/p>\n

402
\n00:29:21,120 –> 00:29:23,480
\nkilled.
\nAnd you know what Saul says? <\/p>\n

403
\n00:29:24,480 –> 00:29:29,520
\nHe says here now, people of
\nBenjamin, will the son of Jesse <\/p>\n

404
\n00:29:29,520 –> 00:29:33,760
\ngive everyone of you fields and
\nvineyards? <\/p>\n

405
\n00:29:35,880 –> 00:29:38,560
\nWill the Son of God give
\neveryone of you fields and <\/p>\n

406
\n00:29:38,560 –> 00:29:42,040
\nvineyards?
\nHear the echoes here in this <\/p>\n

407
\n00:29:42,040 –> 00:29:45,560
\nstory.
\nNaboth the Jezreelite was named <\/p>\n

408
\n00:29:45,560 –> 00:29:50,560
\nafter the place where the
\npriests of Nab had been unjustly<\/p>\n

409
\n00:29:50,560 –> 00:29:56,400
\nkilled by a faithless king.
\nHe was a living reminder of <\/p>\n

410
\n00:29:56,400 –> 00:30:00,720
\ntheir inheritance as well as
\nhis. <\/p>\n

411
\n00:30:03,600 –> 00:30:07,840
\nAnd Naboth the Jezreelite had a
\nvineyard. <\/p>\n

412
\n00:30:12,280 –> 00:30:16,680
\nBut there’s more.
\nIf you could turn to Isaiah <\/p>\n

413
\n00:30:16,680 –> 00:30:19,960
\nchapter 10, Isaiah 10, while
\nyou’re turning, there is a <\/p>\n

414
\n00:30:19,960 –> 00:30:23,400
\nprophecy of the invasion of the
\nnorthern Kingdom of Israel by <\/p>\n

415
\n00:30:23,400 –> 00:30:26,880
\nAssyria.
\nThey were, they’re going to be <\/p>\n

416
\n00:30:26,880 –> 00:30:28,920
\ntaken away by Assyria into
\ncaptivity. <\/p>\n

417
\n00:30:29,360 –> 00:30:33,760
\nIsaiah 10 talks about that the
\nAssyrian war machine was <\/p>\n

418
\n00:30:33,760 –> 00:30:37,280
\ndescending on Judah, but they
\nthey couldn’t get through the <\/p>\n

419
\n00:30:37,280 –> 00:30:41,280
\nforests of Lebanon, these
\nmassive Lebanese trees of of <\/p>\n

420
\n00:30:42,400 –> 00:30:45,600
\ncedar trees and the Assyrian
\narmy would have to cut them all <\/p>\n

421
\n00:30:45,600 –> 00:30:48,600
\ndown to bring their siege
\nmachines and weapons down to <\/p>\n

422
\n00:30:48,600 –> 00:30:52,280
\nJerusalem, 25 miles.
\nThey had to drag them down, but <\/p>\n

423
\n00:30:52,280 –> 00:30:54,760
\nfirst they had to cut down these
\ntrees to get there. <\/p>\n

424
\n00:30:56,360 –> 00:30:58,600
\nIsaiah 10.
\nLet’s pick up the record in <\/p>\n

425
\n00:30:58,600 –> 00:31:10,920
\nverse verse 32 this very day,
\nIsaiah 10, verse 32, this very <\/p>\n

426
\n00:31:10,920 –> 00:31:14,000
\nday, He will halt at Nob.
\nHe will shake his first at the <\/p>\n

427
\n00:31:14,000 –> 00:31:16,160
\nmount of the daughter of Zion,
\nthe hill of Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

428
\n00:31:16,440 –> 00:31:19,240
\nBehold, the Lord God of hosts
\nwill lop the boughs with <\/p>\n

429
\n00:31:19,240 –> 00:31:22,240
\nterrifying power.
\nThe grade in height will be hewn<\/p>\n

430
\n00:31:22,240 –> 00:31:23,960
\ndown, and the lofty will be
\nbrought low. <\/p>\n

431
\n00:31:24,120 –> 00:31:26,160
\nIt’s talking about what would
\nhappen when Assyria would <\/p>\n

432
\n00:31:26,160 –> 00:31:29,640
\nfinally come down into Israel
\nand those trees would be cut <\/p>\n

433
\n00:31:29,640 –> 00:31:32,800
\ndown.
\nBut while the Assyrians were <\/p>\n

434
\n00:31:32,800 –> 00:31:35,360
\ndelayed, they took time for them
\nto do this. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:31:35,560 –> 00:31:38,840
\nHezekiah, you may remember his
\nstory too, was cleansing the <\/p>\n

436
\n00:31:38,840 –> 00:31:42,920
\ntemple and praying and holding a
\nPassover because he was <\/p>\n

437
\n00:31:42,920 –> 00:31:47,320
\ndetermined that his inheritance
\nwould survive by the grace of <\/p>\n

438
\n00:31:47,320 –> 00:31:52,160
\nGod.
\nA subtle connection to Naboth’s <\/p>\n

439
\n00:31:52,560 –> 00:31:57,360
\nvineyard and Naboth’s
\ninheritance and a foreshadow to <\/p>\n

440
\n00:31:57,360 –> 00:32:02,160
\nthe return of Christ in Isaiah.
\nSo much there. <\/p>\n

441
\n00:32:03,960 –> 00:32:05,640
\nLet’s just look at the context
\nof that. <\/p>\n

442
\n00:32:05,760 –> 00:32:08,440
\nTurn over to Isaiah Chapter 11,
\nthe next chapter. <\/p>\n

443
\n00:32:09,800 –> 00:32:12,440
\nNow listen for Naboth’s name.
\nIt’s going to, it’s going to pop<\/p>\n

444
\n00:32:12,440 –> 00:32:17,240
\nup really, really quick.
\nYou, you know these words. <\/p>\n

445
\n00:32:17,560 –> 00:32:22,120
\nThere shall come forth a shoot
\nfrom the stump of Jesse, and a <\/p>\n

446
\n00:32:22,120 –> 00:32:30,600
\nbranch from his roots shall
\nNaboth shall be fruitful, shall <\/p>\n

447
\n00:32:30,600 –> 00:32:35,600
\nbear fruit, and the Spirit of
\nLord shall rest upon him, the <\/p>\n

448
\n00:32:35,600 –> 00:32:37,760
\nspirit of wisdom and
\nunderstanding, the spirit of <\/p>\n

449
\n00:32:37,760 –> 00:32:40,920
\ncounsel and might, the spirit of
\nknowledge and the fear of the <\/p>\n

450
\n00:32:40,920 –> 00:32:43,200
\nLord.
\nAnd his delight shall be in the <\/p>\n

451
\n00:32:43,200 –> 00:32:46,400
\nfear of the Lord.
\nHe shall not judge by what his <\/p>\n

452
\n00:32:46,400 –> 00:32:50,920
\neyes see, or decide disputes by
\nwhat his ears hear, but with <\/p>\n

453
\n00:32:50,920 –> 00:32:55,080
\nrighteousness he shall judge the
\npoor, and decide with equity for<\/p>\n

454
\n00:32:55,080 –> 00:32:57,800
\nthe meek of the earth.
\nAnd he shall strike the earth <\/p>\n

455
\n00:32:57,800 –> 00:33:01,320
\nwith the rod of his mouth, and
\nwith the breath of his lips he <\/p>\n

456
\n00:33:01,320 –> 00:33:05,360
\nshall kill the wicked.
\nDo you not hear Ahab and Naboth <\/p>\n

457
\n00:33:06,080 –> 00:33:08,640
\nin this foreshadow to the Lord
\nJesus Christ? <\/p>\n

458
\n00:33:08,800 –> 00:33:11,680
\nJump down to verse 10 of Isaiah
\n11. <\/p>\n

459
\n00:33:12,120 –> 00:33:15,480
\nIn that day the root of Jesse,
\nwho shall stand as a signal for <\/p>\n

460
\n00:33:15,480 –> 00:33:18,440
\nthe people of him shall the
\nnations inquire. <\/p>\n

461
\n00:33:18,680 –> 00:33:20,880
\nHis resting place shall be
\nglorious. <\/p>\n

462
\n00:33:21,200 –> 00:33:24,360
\nIn that day of, the Lord will
\nextend his hand yet a second <\/p>\n

463
\n00:33:24,360 –> 00:33:29,880
\ntime to recover the remnants
\nthat remains of His people, <\/p>\n

464
\n00:33:32,320 –> 00:33:38,880
\nremnants of the faithful.
\nDo we have time just to look at <\/p>\n

465
\n00:33:38,880 –> 00:33:41,320
\none more mention of Naboth this
\nmorning? <\/p>\n

466
\n00:33:42,320 –> 00:33:44,760
\nPlease turn to to 2nd Kings
\nChapter 9. <\/p>\n

467
\n00:33:48,400 –> 00:33:52,360
\nThis is the last time that
\nNaboth is mentioned by name in <\/p>\n

468
\n00:33:52,360 –> 00:33:56,680
\nthe record, although I do
\nbelieve he’s mentioned one other<\/p>\n

469
\n00:33:56,680 –> 00:33:59,480
\ntime, which we’ll get to in
\nshort time. <\/p>\n

470
\n00:34:00,920 –> 00:34:05,320
\nSecond Kings 9, the end of First
\nKings 21, while we’re going to <\/p>\n

471
\n00:34:05,320 –> 00:34:09,800
\n2nd Kings 9.
\nKing Ahab humbles himself in <\/p>\n

472
\n00:34:09,800 –> 00:34:12,800
\nGod’s wrath and judgement
\nagainst him for his treatment of<\/p>\n

473
\n00:34:12,800 –> 00:34:16,880
\nNaboth, the ripping of the
\nKingdom from his family, and the<\/p>\n

474
\n00:34:16,880 –> 00:34:19,679
\ndeath of his own inheritance.
\nThat’s what the judgement on <\/p>\n

475
\n00:34:19,679 –> 00:34:23,600
\nNahab on Ahab would be, right?
\nHis inheritance, his kid, his <\/p>\n

476
\n00:34:23,600 –> 00:34:29,239
\nchildren, his family would die.
\nBut Ahab humbles himself. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:34:29,239 –> 00:34:32,239
\nAnd so that judgement is
\ndelayed, we’re told, until the <\/p>\n

478
\n00:34:32,239 –> 00:34:37,480
\ndays of his son Joram.
\nAnd so then in First Kings 21, <\/p>\n

479
\n00:34:37,480 –> 00:34:40,360
\nAhab and Jehoshaphat go to war
\nagainst the Syrians. <\/p>\n

480
\n00:34:40,920 –> 00:34:42,400
\nAnd you may know this story too,
\nright? <\/p>\n

481
\n00:34:42,400 –> 00:34:44,280
\nAhab, he’s afraid, He doesn’t
\nwant to die. <\/p>\n

482
\n00:34:44,280 –> 00:34:49,040
\nSo he disguises himself in this
\nbizarre kind of battle. <\/p>\n

483
\n00:34:52,080 –> 00:34:55,280
\nAnd we’re told that he was
\nkilled by a certain man who drew<\/p>\n

484
\n00:34:55,280 –> 00:34:58,960
\na bow at a venture and and let
\nloose an arrow that happens to <\/p>\n

485
\n00:34:58,960 –> 00:35:04,880
\nfind Ahab and his blood ran out
\nof the wound in his chariot and <\/p>\n

486
\n00:35:04,880 –> 00:35:07,640
\nhe died.
\nThat’s what’s leading us up to <\/p>\n

487
\n00:35:07,640 –> 00:35:10,920
\nSecond Kings 9.
\nNow here we are. <\/p>\n

488
\n00:35:11,520 –> 00:35:15,120
\nJehu had been the commander of
\nAhab’s Chariots. <\/p>\n

489
\n00:35:15,800 –> 00:35:20,560
\nNow that Ahab is dead, Jehu is
\ndoing the same thing for King <\/p>\n

490
\n00:35:20,560 –> 00:35:28,400
\nJoram, Ahab’s son.
\nBut Elisha has called on Jehu to<\/p>\n

491
\n00:35:28,400 –> 00:35:33,160
\nfinally redeem the judgments
\nagainst Ahab and his <\/p>\n

492
\n00:35:33,160 –> 00:35:38,680
\ninheritance.
\nHis task is to kill Ahab’s son <\/p>\n

493
\n00:35:38,840 –> 00:35:42,840
\nJoram.
\nSo we pick up the record in <\/p>\n

494
\n00:35:42,840 –> 00:35:46,160
\nSecond Kings Chapter 9.
\nI’m going to start at verse 21. <\/p>\n

495
\n00:35:48,560 –> 00:35:51,320
\nWe read Second Kings 9, verse
\n21. <\/p>\n

496
\n00:35:51,320 –> 00:35:55,480
\nJoram said make ready and they
\nmade ready his Chariots and <\/p>\n

497
\n00:35:55,480 –> 00:35:59,200
\nJoram king of Israel and Ahaziah
\nking of Judah set out each in <\/p>\n

498
\n00:35:59,200 –> 00:36:03,600
\nhis chariot and went to meet
\nJehu and met him at the property<\/p>\n

499
\n00:36:03,600 –> 00:36:05,800
\nof Naboth.
\nThe Jezreelites. <\/p>\n

500
\n00:36:05,800 –> 00:36:09,440
\nSee we can’t, scripture can’t
\ntell us enough that Naboth’s <\/p>\n

501
\n00:36:09,440 –> 00:36:15,760
\nland was still there, it was his
\ninheritance and when Joram saw <\/p>\n

502
\n00:36:15,760 –> 00:36:21,320
\nJehu he said is it peace Jehu?
\nJehu answered, What peace can <\/p>\n

503
\n00:36:21,320 –> 00:36:25,480
\nthere be so long as the whorings
\nand sorceries of your mother <\/p>\n

504
\n00:36:25,480 –> 00:36:28,720
\nJezebel are so many?
\nAnd Joram panics, right? <\/p>\n

505
\n00:36:29,000 –> 00:36:32,400
\nAnd he turns around his his
\nhorse and he tries to, to, to <\/p>\n

506
\n00:36:32,400 –> 00:36:34,560
\nride away.
\nIt says Joram reined about and <\/p>\n

507
\n00:36:34,560 –> 00:36:37,760
\nfled, saying to Isaiah
\ntreachery, O Isaiah. <\/p>\n

508
\n00:36:38,560 –> 00:36:41,880
\nAnd Jehu drew his bow with his
\nfull strength and shot Joram <\/p>\n

509
\n00:36:41,880 –> 00:36:45,200
\nbetween the shoulders.
\nSo the arrow pierced his hearts,<\/p>\n

510
\n00:36:45,480 –> 00:36:49,400
\nand he sank in his chariot.
\nAnd we would think that would be<\/p>\n

511
\n00:36:49,400 –> 00:36:52,680
\nthe end.
\nBut no, because to put a final <\/p>\n

512
\n00:36:52,680 –> 00:36:58,080
\nexclamation on the story of
\nNaboth, look at what Jihu says, <\/p>\n

513
\n00:36:58,280 –> 00:37:01,800
\nverse 25.
\nJihu said to Bidkar his aid. <\/p>\n

514
\n00:37:01,800 –> 00:37:04,640
\nRemember that name?
\nBidkar his aid. <\/p>\n

515
\n00:37:04,960 –> 00:37:09,440
\nTake him and throw him on the
\nplot of grounds belonging to <\/p>\n

516
\n00:37:09,440 –> 00:37:15,840
\nNaboth, the Jezreelites.
\nFor remember when you and I rode<\/p>\n

517
\n00:37:15,840 –> 00:37:20,480
\nside by side behind Ahab, how
\nthe Lord made this pronouncement<\/p>\n

518
\n00:37:20,480 –> 00:37:23,040
\nagainst him?
\nAs surely as I saw yesterday, <\/p>\n

519
\n00:37:23,320 –> 00:37:26,040
\nthe blood of Naboth and the
\nblood of his sons, declares the <\/p>\n

520
\n00:37:26,040 –> 00:37:30,040
\nLord, I will repay you on this
\nplot of ground. <\/p>\n

521
\n00:37:30,040 –> 00:37:35,720
\nAnd Jihu remembered that.
\nAnd Ahab’s line is cut off. <\/p>\n

522
\n00:37:36,280 –> 00:37:40,080
\nHis inheritance ends.
\nIn a sense, if you remember The <\/p>\n

523
\n00:37:40,080 –> 00:37:42,560
\nCave of Adullah meant justice of
\nthe people. <\/p>\n

524
\n00:37:42,920 –> 00:37:46,960
\nYou sort of have a little sort
\nof side justice of Naboth here. <\/p>\n

525
\n00:37:47,840 –> 00:37:52,520
\nHere’s God’s justice in a way,
\nor at least judgement. <\/p>\n

526
\n00:37:54,640 –> 00:38:02,000
\nBut here’s the best part.
\nIn Second Kings 9, Jehu becomes <\/p>\n

527
\n00:38:02,000 –> 00:38:08,760
\nthe king and his commander of
\nChariots are now going to go <\/p>\n

528
\n00:38:08,760 –> 00:38:12,400
\nthrough and look for all the
\nrest of Ahab’s relatives in <\/p>\n

529
\n00:38:12,400 –> 00:38:18,520
\norder to eliminate all of them.
\nBut do you know what Jihu means?<\/p>\n

530
\n00:38:20,040 –> 00:38:24,680
\nIt means Yahweh is he and
\nBidcar. <\/p>\n

531
\n00:38:24,680 –> 00:38:31,960
\nHis aid means to thrust through.
\nYahweh will thrust through. <\/p>\n

532
\n00:38:31,960 –> 00:38:35,640
\nIt’s the only time that word or
\nthat name Bidcar is used. <\/p>\n

533
\n00:38:36,880 –> 00:38:38,360
\nThe only one with that name in
\nscripture. <\/p>\n

534
\n00:38:38,360 –> 00:38:40,560
\nJust like Naboth was the only
\none with that name. <\/p>\n

535
\n00:38:40,560 –> 00:38:45,720
\nIn Scripture, the root word is
\nused 11 times every time talking<\/p>\n

536
\n00:38:45,720 –> 00:38:50,880
\nabout somebody being killed,
\nalways by way of judgement <\/p>\n

537
\n00:38:50,880 –> 00:38:55,200
\nagainst them.
\nBut check out the last time it’s<\/p>\n

538
\n00:38:55,200 –> 00:38:57,880
\nused.
\nZechariah 12. <\/p>\n

539
\n00:38:59,240 –> 00:39:06,160
\nZechariah Chapter 12.
\nBrothers and sisters, this will <\/p>\n

540
\n00:39:06,160 –> 00:39:10,400
\nbring us to a conclusion this
\nmorning. <\/p>\n

541
\n00:39:10,400 –> 00:39:17,600
\nJust this last, last point here,
\nZechariah 12 picking up the <\/p>\n

542
\n00:39:17,600 –> 00:39:23,440
\naccount at verse one, the Oracle
\nof the word of the Lord <\/p>\n

543
\n00:39:23,440 –> 00:39:26,520
\nconcerning Israel.
\nThus declares the Lord who <\/p>\n

544
\n00:39:26,520 –> 00:39:28,960
\nstretched out the heavens and
\nfounded the earth and formed the<\/p>\n

545
\n00:39:28,960 –> 00:39:31,840
\nspirit of man within him.
\nBehold, I’m about to make <\/p>\n

546
\n00:39:31,840 –> 00:39:35,040
\nJerusalem a cup of staggering to
\nall surrounding people. <\/p>\n

547
\n00:39:36,840 –> 00:39:39,840
\nVerse three says, On that day I
\nwill make Jerusalem a heavy <\/p>\n

548
\n00:39:39,840 –> 00:39:43,400
\nstone for all people.
\nVerse four says, On that day, <\/p>\n

549
\n00:39:43,400 –> 00:39:46,720
\ndeclares the Lord, I will strike
\nevery horse with panic, and his <\/p>\n

550
\n00:39:46,720 –> 00:39:50,480
\nrider with madness.
\nVerse six says, On that day I <\/p>\n

551
\n00:39:50,480 –> 00:39:53,680
\nwill make the clans of Judah
\nlike a blazing pot in the midst <\/p>\n

552
\n00:39:53,680 –> 00:39:57,720
\nof wood, like a flaming torch
\namong sheaves, and they shall <\/p>\n

553
\n00:39:57,720 –> 00:40:01,280
\ndevour to the right and to the
\nleft all the surrounding people,<\/p>\n

554
\n00:40:01,480 –> 00:40:05,440
\nwhile Jerusalem shall again be
\ninhabited in its place in <\/p>\n

555
\n00:40:05,440 –> 00:40:09,000
\nJerusalem.
\nVerse 8 says, On that day the <\/p>\n

556
\n00:40:09,000 –> 00:40:11,960
\nLord will protect the
\ninhabitants of Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

557
\n00:40:13,240 –> 00:40:16,560
\nVerse 9 says, On that day I will
\nseek to destroy all the nations <\/p>\n

558
\n00:40:16,560 –> 00:40:22,360
\nthat come against Jerusalem.
\nVerse 10 says, And I will pour <\/p>\n

559
\n00:40:22,360 –> 00:40:25,520
\nout on the House of David and
\nthe inhabitants of Jerusalem a <\/p>\n

560
\n00:40:25,520 –> 00:40:29,120
\nspirit of grace and plea for
\nmercy, so that when they look on<\/p>\n

561
\n00:40:29,120 –> 00:40:33,960
\nme whom they have pierced, they
\nwill mourn for him as one mourns<\/p>\n

562
\n00:40:33,960 –> 00:40:38,240
\nfor an only child, and weep
\nbitterly over him as one mourns <\/p>\n

563
\n00:40:38,520 –> 00:40:43,680
\nover first born.
\nIt’s not a beautiful right <\/p>\n

564
\n00:40:43,680 –> 00:40:48,520
\nconnection.
\nOf the 22 times Naboth’s name is<\/p>\n

565
\n00:40:48,520 –> 00:40:55,160
\nmentioned in the record, in
\nseven times we’re told Naboth <\/p>\n

566
\n00:40:55,160 –> 00:40:59,680
\nwas a Jezreelite.
\nNo, thee Jezreelites, it means <\/p>\n

567
\n00:40:59,680 –> 00:41:04,280
\nGod sows.
\nBecause Naboth’s vineyard was <\/p>\n

568
\n00:41:04,280 –> 00:41:08,160
\nproducing fruit in his name for
\na long time, for generations <\/p>\n

569
\n00:41:08,360 –> 00:41:10,880
\nafter his death.
\nIt was and remains. <\/p>\n

570
\n00:41:10,880 –> 00:41:16,720
\nIt is his inheritance.
\nAlessa and Kezia and Kayla, and <\/p>\n

571
\n00:41:16,720 –> 00:41:18,240
\nI’m sorry if I don’t say those
\nright. <\/p>\n

572
\n00:41:18,840 –> 00:41:24,760
\nYour inheritance is the same.
\nHold strong to it. <\/p>\n

573
\n00:41:26,600 –> 00:41:31,720
\nLet the bread and the wine be a
\ncentering a a remembrance, a <\/p>\n

574
\n00:41:31,720 –> 00:41:37,960
\ntime where you examine
\nyourselves, the time where you <\/p>\n

575
\n00:41:37,960 –> 00:41:41,280
\nrenew your covenant and you
\nremember your inheritance. <\/p>\n

576
\n00:41:42,920 –> 00:41:48,080
\nThat’s what we’re all going to
\ndo in a moment before we close. <\/p>\n

577
\n00:41:48,080 –> 00:41:50,160
\nBrothers and sisters.
\nAlthough Nahab is not named <\/p>\n

578
\n00:41:50,160 –> 00:41:52,880
\nagain in Scripture, I do believe
\nhe’s mentioned one more time. <\/p>\n

579
\n00:41:55,360 –> 00:41:57,920
\nAnd we don’t need to turn there.
\nBut in Matthew 21, you’ll know <\/p>\n

580
\n00:41:57,920 –> 00:42:02,040
\nthese words.
\nHear another parable. <\/p>\n

581
\n00:42:03,520 –> 00:42:06,440
\nThere was a master of a house
\nwho planted a vineyard and put a<\/p>\n

582
\n00:42:06,440 –> 00:42:10,240
\nfence around it, and dug a wine
\npress in it, and built a tower <\/p>\n

583
\n00:42:10,680 –> 00:42:13,520
\nand leased it to tenants, and
\nwent into another country. <\/p>\n

584
\n00:42:14,240 –> 00:42:16,960
\nAnd when the season for fruit
\ndrew near, he sent his servants <\/p>\n

585
\n00:42:16,960 –> 00:42:20,120
\nto the tenants to get his fruit.
\nAnd the tenants took his <\/p>\n

586
\n00:42:20,120 –> 00:42:23,480
\nservants and beat one, and
\nkilled another, and stoned <\/p>\n

587
\n00:42:23,480 –> 00:42:27,160
\nanother.
\nSee our Lord often in His <\/p>\n

588
\n00:42:27,160 –> 00:42:31,280
\nparables, most of the time
\nalluded to events and people <\/p>\n

589
\n00:42:31,280 –> 00:42:37,520
\nfrom the past.
\nAnd so perhaps here again we <\/p>\n

590
\n00:42:37,520 –> 00:42:44,560
\nhave an illusion.
\nOne more reference to Naboth in <\/p>\n

591
\n00:42:44,560 –> 00:42:50,120
\na vineyard planted by God, a
\nservant killed by an unfaithful <\/p>\n

592
\n00:42:50,120 –> 00:42:53,440
\ntenant.
\nIt would be fitting, wouldn’t <\/p>\n

593
\n00:42:54,960 –> 00:42:56,600
\nit?
\nAnd so if that’s true, it would <\/p>\n

594
\n00:42:56,600 –> 00:42:59,960
\nbe the 7th time Naboth the
\nJezreelites inheritance was <\/p>\n

595
\n00:42:59,960 –> 00:43:04,960
\nmentioned in the record, and it
\nwould be connected to our Lord <\/p>\n

596
\n00:43:06,480 –> 00:43:09,960
\nand connected to the inheritance
\nthat each one of us through our,<\/p>\n

597
\n00:43:09,960 –> 00:43:14,920
\nthrough his, through our God’s
\nmercy and grace have hoped for. <\/p>\n

598
\n00:43:14,920 –> 00:43:20,560
\nAnd again he sent other servants
\nmore than the 1st and they did <\/p>\n

599
\n00:43:20,560 –> 00:43:23,440
\nthe same.
\nAnd finally he sent his son to <\/p>\n

600
\n00:43:23,440 –> 00:43:25,600
\nthem, saying they will respect
\nmy son. <\/p>\n

601
\n00:43:26,840 –> 00:43:30,440
\nBut the tenants saw the sun and
\nsaid to themselves, this is the <\/p>\n

602
\n00:43:30,440 –> 00:43:33,320
\nair.
\nCome, let us kill him and have <\/p>\n

603
\n00:43:33,320 –> 00:43:36,080
\nhis inheritance.
\nAnd they took him and threw him <\/p>\n

604
\n00:43:36,080 –> 00:43:37,600
\nout of the vineyard and killed
\nhim. <\/p>\n

605
\n00:43:40,640 –> 00:43:43,920
\nNo, brothers and sisters, Naboth
\nthe Jezreelites does not die in <\/p>\n

606
\n00:43:43,920 –> 00:43:47,280
\nthe record.
\nYes, he sleeps. <\/p>\n

607
\n00:43:48,160 –> 00:43:50,440
\nHe sleeps awaiting the
\nresurrection to life. <\/p>\n

608
\n00:43:50,440 –> 00:43:57,280
\nA living hope the same as ours.
\nAnd so when we feel so weak at <\/p>\n

609
\n00:43:57,280 –> 00:44:04,120
\ntimes, because sometimes it’s so
\nhard to feel mighty and hopeless<\/p>\n

610
\n00:44:05,440 –> 00:44:10,920
\nand we feel tired, we come here
\nto this figurative table of <\/p>\n

611
\n00:44:10,920 –> 00:44:18,600
\nshowbread, to this vineyard, and
\nwe’re reminded of the hope, the <\/p>\n

612
\n00:44:18,600 –> 00:44:27,440
\nliving hope that we have.
\nFirst, Kings 21 and our hope is <\/p>\n

613
\n00:44:27,440 –> 00:44:30,800
\nabout joining together in
\ncovenants, a union, as we have <\/p>\n

614
\n00:44:30,800 –> 00:44:35,360
\nseen three times this morning
\nand we prepare to do all <\/p>\n

615
\n00:44:35,400 –> 00:44:39,520
\ntogether as a family.
\nA promise renewed when we set <\/p>\n

616
\n00:44:39,520 –> 00:44:45,320
\nour minds to serve our Father
\nand His Son in his vineyard, <\/p>\n

617
\n00:44:47,640 –> 00:44:52,480
\nrenewing our covenants day by
\nday, week by week, in prayer, <\/p>\n

618
\n00:44:52,480 –> 00:45:00,120
\ntogether and alone, reading,
\ncrying out, rejoicing and <\/p>\n

619
\n00:45:00,120 –> 00:45:03,120
\npartaking of the bread and the
\nwine together. <\/p>\n
