\n00:00:13,900 –> 00:00:15,600
\nWelcome to good for selfie and
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

\n00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:19,300
\nI’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m
\nBrian, thank you for joining us <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:19,300 –> 00:00:21,900
\nthis week.
\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,400
\ntaco week to help us get the
\nBible in our daily news feed. <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:26,600 –> 00:00:29,300
\nWe post a new episode of the
\nstart of each week with a short <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,400
\nintro before.
\nHand to kind of set the stage <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:31,400 –> 00:00:33,600
\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to and <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:36,300
\nnow let’s talk more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:50,800 –> 00:00:53,200
\nHello and welcome back to
\nanother talk this week. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:53,200 –> 00:00:56,400
\nWe’re listening to class 3 from
\na series that brother. <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:56,400 –> 00:00:59,800
\nJason Hensley gave at Idyllwild
\nthis past year in 2022. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:01:00,700 –> 00:01:04,800
\nOn the subject of Elijah has
\noverall subject was a man of <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:04,800 –> 00:01:08,600
\nlike passions, this particular
\nclass is centering on the Ravens<\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:09,400 –> 00:01:13,600
\nand you can kind of tell what
\npart of the story Jason is going<\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:13,600 –> 00:01:15,900
\nto be focusing on.
\nBut what I really enjoyed about <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:15,900 –> 00:01:19,100
\nthis entire series, when I heard
\nit live and then also going back<\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:19,100 –> 00:01:23,000
\nand re listening to, it was
\nJason had a very different, look<\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:23,200 –> 00:01:26,400
\nat Elijah and kind of made him
\nseem more real and more <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:26,400 –> 00:01:28,500
\npersonable with the way he
\napproached it. <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:29,000 –> 00:01:31,800
\nAnd his overall all lesson,
\nwhich he hits on right at the <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:31,800 –> 00:01:33,600
\nbeginning of this class.
\nSo I’m not going to be spoiling <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:33,600 –> 00:01:36,800
\nanything is that God tends to
\nuse the things that go on in our<\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:36,800 –> 00:01:40,200
\nlife, to push us to try to take
\nus outside of our comfort zone <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:40,200 –> 00:01:43,800
\nbecause given our own nature.
\nWe would stick to what we know <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:43,800 –> 00:01:47,500
\nand what we’re comfortable with
\nbut that is not necessarily what<\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:47,500 –> 00:01:50,300
\nis necessary to build a Godly
\ncharacter and even for someone <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:50,300 –> 00:01:52,600
\nlike Elijah, there was growth
\nand learning that had to be <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:52,600 –> 00:01:55,700
\ndone.
\nSo these entire series is going <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:55,700 –> 00:01:58,900
\nto be put on the good Crystal
\nthing talks extended podcast as <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:58,900 –> 00:02:01,200
\nwell.
\nI would highly recommend <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:01,200 –> 00:02:03,500
\nlistening to all six classes.
\nThey’re all great. <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:04,100 –> 00:02:06,000
\nI just picked this one in
\nparticular, because I felt like <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:06,000 –> 00:02:10,000
\nthe lesson really fit in terms
\nof trying to push beyond your <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:10,000 –> 00:02:11,800
\ncomfort zone and always trying
\nto do better. <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:12,400 –> 00:02:14,500
\nAnd then, he also summarizes a
\nlittle bit at the beginning of <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:14,508 –> 00:02:16,700
\nthis class, where we are at up
\nto this point. <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:16,700 –> 00:02:19,700
\nSo it makes it a little bit
\nbetter of a standalone episode. <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:20,700 –> 00:02:22,600
\nSo, as always, thank you for
\nlistening. <\/p>\n

\n00:02:23,300 –> 00:02:27,000

\nAs always for listening and I
\nhope you enjoy this talk in <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:13,300 –> 00:03:16,000
\nparticular as much as I did.
\nSo with that, I will turn it <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:16,000 –> 00:03:21,200
\nover to brother Jason Hensley
\nfor his class on Elijah with the<\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:21,200 –> 00:03:26,100
\nsubject the Ravens.
\nOkay, we are going to be talking<\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:26,100 –> 00:03:29,400
\nabout the Ravens today, so
\nthat’s just kind of recap what <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:29,400 –> 00:03:34,300
\nwe have gone over so far.
\nWe have seen Elijah learning <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:34,300 –> 00:03:39,100
\nthis lesson that God is in
\ncontrol, or at least maybe we <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:39,100 –> 00:03:42,500
\nhaven’t seen him learning it
\nyet, but we’ve seen him needing <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:42,500 –> 00:03:46,400
\nto learn this lesson.
\nSo we have him needing to learn <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:46,400 –> 00:03:50,900
\nthe lesson and we are now going
\nto see the beginnings of God <\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:50,900 –> 00:03:56,200
\nteaching that to him as he goes.
\nAnd he spends time with the <\/p>\n

65
\n00:03:56,200 –> 00:04:00,700
\nRavens.
\nSo here we are in class 3. and, <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:03,000 –> 00:04:06,800
\nHere are lessons.
\nWe have seen that God is in <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:06,800 –> 00:04:09,600
\ncontrol.
\nWe have seen that God hears <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:09,600 –> 00:04:16,100
\nprayers, We have seen or we will
\nsee today that God gives lessons<\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:16,300 –> 00:04:18,700
\nthat push us beyond our comfort
\nzones. <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:19,200 –> 00:04:22,900
\nAnd I think that’s a fairly we
\nunderstand that, we know that <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:22,900 –> 00:04:25,500
\nthat’s how God works.
\nWe can’t really learn anything. <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:26,000 –> 00:04:29,700
\nUnless we are pushed beyond our
\ncomfort zones, but I think it’s <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:29,700 –> 00:04:32,900
\nstill something that we need to
\nbe reminded of consistently <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:33,200 –> 00:04:35,100
\nbecause we find ourselves
\nasking. <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:35,700 –> 00:04:38,500
\nWhy is this happening?
\nWhy does it have to be like <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:38,500 –> 00:04:41,800
\nthis?
\nAnd the answer is It’s not <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:41,800 –> 00:04:45,200
\nalways the answer, but a lot of
\ntimes the answer is because <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:45,900 –> 00:04:48,800
\nwe’re growing, and this is how
\nwe grow. <\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:49,000 –> 00:04:52,700
\nWe have to feel uncomfortable,
\nwe have to be put in situations <\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:52,900 –> 00:04:57,900
\nthat make us Go outside of our
\nnorm and so that’s what we are <\/p>\n

81
\n00:04:57,900 –> 00:05:01,100
\ngoing to see here with Elijah.
\nHe is going to be put in a <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:01,108 –> 00:05:04,600
\nsituation with the Ravens that
\nwould have. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:04,600 –> 00:05:07,400
\nMade him feel incredibly
\nuncomfortable. <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:08,900 –> 00:05:12,900
\nAll right, the plan you’ll
\nnotice we have three sections. <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:13,600 –> 00:05:16,500
\nWe will be talking about Elijah
\nat the brook. <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:17,300 –> 00:05:20,500
\nThen his journey to the Widow,
\nbut we’re not going to talk <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:20,500 –> 00:05:23,500
\nabout the Widow yet so you’ll
\nhave to wait until tomorrow. <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:24,800 –> 00:05:29,100
\nSo we’ll be at the brook, his
\njourney to the Widow and then <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:29,100 –> 00:05:33,400
\nwe’re going to compare the brook
\nwith the time with the Widow. <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:33,800 –> 00:05:37,800
\nWe’re going to see that in fact,
\nGod was doing the same thing <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:38,400 –> 00:05:41,000
\nboth times, teaching him the
\nsame lesson. <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:41,600 –> 00:05:44,700
\nThat’s the idea God gives
\nlessons that push us beyond our <\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:44,700 –> 00:05:49,000
\ncomfort zones.
\nAnd the big question is, why <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:49,300 –> 00:05:54,700
\nRavens Why is that a significant
\nthing to know and couldn’t <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:54,700 –> 00:05:58,600
\ncouldn’t scripture have just
\nsaid Birds, right? <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:00,200 –> 00:06:02,400
\nWhy does that make a difference?
\nWhy is it? <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:02,400 –> 00:06:05,700
\nWhy is it important that it was
\nRavens and not parakeets, right?<\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:05,700 –> 00:06:07,600
\nI mean, aside from, you know,
\nwould have been cuter. <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:07,700 –> 00:06:10,800
\nIt was parakeets.
\nBut but you know what, why is it<\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:10,800 –> 00:06:13,500
\nmake a difference, right?
\nBut scripture gives us the <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:13,500 –> 00:06:16,900
\ndetails and so we’re supposed to
\nwear supposed to know. <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:17,400 –> 00:06:18,900
\nThat was a rhetorical question,
\nPeter. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:19,100 –> 00:06:27,500
\nWell, we can talk after All
\nright, so at the, at the brook, <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:28,600 –> 00:06:32,500
\nyou’ll notice that God tells him
\ntwice that it was going to be <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:32,500 –> 00:06:37,200
\nRavens that fed him.
\nSo there’s a significance here, <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:38,100 –> 00:06:43,100
\nRavens Ravens.
\nSo again, Elijah is always <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:43,100 –> 00:06:46,500
\ncommanded by God to do
\nessentially everything in his <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:46,500 –> 00:06:49,800
\nlife.
\nAnd in this command, God gives a<\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:49,808 –> 00:06:52,800
\nfew particular details,
\nspecifically here that it’s <\/p>\n

110
\n00:06:52,800 –> 00:06:55,000
\ngoing to be Ravens.
\nSo the question is why? <\/p>\n

111
\n00:06:56,300 –> 00:07:00,300
\nWell I think first of all Ravens
\nwould have presented a problem. <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:01,100 –> 00:07:05,800
\nThe reason being the so you want
\nto say Peter, There you go. <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:05,900 –> 00:07:06,900
\nThat’s right.
\nRavens. <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:06,900 –> 00:07:10,000
\nAre unclean Birds?
\nYes. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:10,500 –> 00:07:13,900
\nSo Ravens are unclean and this
\nwould be an issue. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:14,400 –> 00:07:15,600
\nSo you see it you have it up
\nhere. <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:15,600 –> 00:07:22,000
\nLeviticus 11, 13, to 15.
\nYou shall detest every Raven of <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:22,000 –> 00:07:25,600
\nany kind.
\nNow, I think that this is <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:25,600 –> 00:07:29,600
\nhelpful because we don’t we
\ndon’t live under the laws of <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:29,600 –> 00:07:32,100
\nclean and unclean.
\nAt least I assume none of you <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:32,100 –> 00:07:35,900
\nkeep kosher, maybe you do, but I
\ndon’t think so. <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:36,300 –> 00:07:42,900
\nSo this, these are laws that we
\noften don’t think about so, in <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:42,900 –> 00:07:47,500
\norder to really get The strength
\nof what God is saying here. <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:48,000 –> 00:07:50,500
\nI want us to pay attention to
\nthis word, detest. <\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:51,000 –> 00:07:54,100
\nYou shall detest every Raven of
\nany kind. <\/p>\n

126
\n00:07:54,400 –> 00:07:57,300
\nThe reason that we want to look
\nat that is because the same word<\/p>\n

127
\n00:07:57,300 –> 00:08:01,700
\nshows up later in Leviticus
\nchapter 20 and now notice what <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:01,700 –> 00:08:06,200
\nGod says, if you don’t detest
\nthese things that I’ve told you <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:06,207 –> 00:08:08,700
\nto test look at what would
\nhappen. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:10,200 –> 00:08:16,100
\nYou shall not make yourselves
\ndetestable by Beast or by bird <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:16,400 –> 00:08:20,400
\nor buy anything with which the
\nground crawls, which I have set <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:20,400 –> 00:08:23,800
\napart for you to hold unclean to
\nsee what God is saying. <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:24,600 –> 00:08:31,100
\nHe says these animals are
\ndetestable and if you don’t <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:31,100 –> 00:08:33,100
\ndetest them then, guess what
\nhappens to you? <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:34,400 –> 00:08:38,700
\nYou become detestable, right?
\nIt’s like the the detestable <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:38,700 –> 00:08:42,200
\nnurse of I was gonna say detest
\nability. <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:42,500 –> 00:08:47,400
\nBut anyway the detestable nurse
\nof these animals like transfers <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:47,600 –> 00:08:50,100
\nto you.
\nAlmost if you don’t you don’t <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:50,100 –> 00:08:55,500
\nrecognize that God says, don’t
\nbe with these animals, don’t be <\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:55,500 –> 00:08:59,900
\nwith these Birds.
\nNow just to give you a sense of <\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:59,900 –> 00:09:04,800
\nwhat’s meant by detest, right,
\nit wasn’t just a I don’t like <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:04,800 –> 00:09:06,200
\nthat bird.
\nYou know? <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:06,200 –> 00:09:07,700
\nIt’s not good.
\nIt’s unclean. <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:07,700 –> 00:09:10,300
\nI don’t like it.
\nHere’s your word. <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:10,400 –> 00:09:14,100
\nIt shh cots in Hebrew.
\nThis is the strongest number <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:14,100 –> 00:09:17,500
\n82-62.
\nIt only shows up seven times but<\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:17,500 –> 00:09:21,700
\nit’s a very charged word so it’s
\nnot just a I don’t kind of like <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:21,700 –> 00:09:25,600
\nit very much.
\nLook at how God uses the word <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:25,600 –> 00:09:31,100
\nhere in Deuteronomy. 7 verse 26.
\nHe’s talking about Idols here <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:31,900 –> 00:09:37,400
\nand he says, you will utterly
\nEarly detest and abhor it for. <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:37,400 –> 00:09:40,900
\nIt is devoted to destruction.
\nSo this is how they were <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:40,900 –> 00:09:44,700
\nsupposed to feel about these
\nunclean animals. <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:45,100 –> 00:09:50,200
\nThat when you see the unclean
\nanimal coming, you say whoa I’m <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:50,200 –> 00:09:53,200
\nnot getting near that right?
\nI’m not gonna touch it. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:53,300 –> 00:09:56,800
\nI’m not gonna go anywhere close
\nwhere it might accidentally <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:56,800 –> 00:09:59,400
\ntouch me.
\nSomething along those lines. <\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:59,400 –> 00:10:04,400
\nThey were to detest, hate it up,
\nwhore it right and and You can <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:04,400 –> 00:10:07,300
\nsee with the description of the
\nidols here, God says, burn them <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:07,300 –> 00:10:09,900
\nup, right?
\nTotally, get rid of them. <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:11,400 –> 00:10:14,300
\nThis is a serious word.
\nNow. <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:15,700 –> 00:10:18,800
\nDo you, are you beginning to
\nsense, here? <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:19,700 –> 00:10:23,100
\nThe sudden moral dilemma that
\nElijah would be feeling. <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:25,000 –> 00:10:27,000
\nSo here he is the word of God
\ncomes to him. <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:27,000 –> 00:10:30,700
\nAnd says, how are you go to the
\nbrook cherith? <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:31,400 –> 00:10:32,300
\nRight.
\nNo issue there. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:32,900 –> 00:10:36,400
\nYou’re going to have water
\nduring the drought and by the <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:36,400 –> 00:10:42,900
\nway, Ravens will feed you.
\nElijah, I’ve told Ravens to give<\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:42,900 –> 00:10:51,800
\nyou food, Here’s Elijah.
\nJust thinking Aren’t those the <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:51,800 –> 00:10:57,600
\nbirds I’m supposed to detest?
\nI’m supposed to abhor these <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:57,600 –> 00:11:00,200
\nthings.
\nHow, how do I get the food <\/p>\n

171
\n00:11:00,300 –> 00:11:02,100
\nright?
\nAre they going to drop it off <\/p>\n

172
\n00:11:02,100 –> 00:11:03,800
\nover there?
\nAnd, you know, I just hang out <\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:03,800 –> 00:11:07,300
\nover here until the bird flies
\naway and then I go get the food.<\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:07,400 –> 00:11:11,100
\nLike how’s this totally supposed
\nto work so you can see that. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:11,200 –> 00:11:15,700
\nNow, what’s fascinating about
\nthis, in addition is I want us <\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:15,700 –> 00:11:20,000
\nto think about the details.
\nThat Elijah wasn’t told. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:21,700 –> 00:11:24,200
\nThere’s a lot of things that God
\ndoesn’t say. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:25,400 –> 00:11:27,700
\nHe doesn’t say where he’s going
\nto sleep, you know, if I Was <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:27,700 –> 00:11:30,200
\nElijah you kind of care about
\nthat, right? <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:30,600 –> 00:11:33,400
\nWas there going to be an ice
\ncave or something? <\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:33,400 –> 00:11:36,400
\nWhere he could spend the night?
\nWhat was he supposed to do? <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:36,400 –> 00:11:40,100
\nIf a wild animal came because
\nhe’s just living in the <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:40,100 –> 00:11:43,500
\nWilderness.
\nAt a brook during a drought, he <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:43,500 –> 00:11:46,500
\nwould assume he probably had a
\nnumber of run-ins with <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:46,500 –> 00:11:48,600
\ncreatures.
\nHe probably did not want to have<\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:48,600 –> 00:11:50,600
\nrun-ins with what was he
\nsupposed to do. <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:52,600 –> 00:11:55,200
\nGod doesn’t say anything about
\nthat stuff, but he tells him <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:55,300 –> 00:12:01,400
\ntwice Ravens Ravens Elijah.
\nThe problem actually gets worse,<\/p>\n

189
\n00:12:01,400 –> 00:12:03,500
\nthough.
\nLet me ask you this question, <\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:05,400 –> 00:12:09,900
\nanybody know?
\nI got rid of my transitions <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:09,900 –> 00:12:11,800
\nhere.
\nSo now you know all the secret <\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:11,800 –> 00:12:15,000
\nquestions I’m going to ask, you
\ndoes anybody know what ravens <\/p>\n

193
\n00:12:15,000 –> 00:12:16,500
\neat?
\nDon’t look at the screen. <\/p>\n

194
\n00:12:18,300 –> 00:12:24,300
\nRavens, eat dead stuff right now
\nyou get one quick guess where <\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:24,300 –> 00:12:27,200
\nyou allowed to eat dead stuff
\nunder the law of Moses. <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:27,900 –> 00:12:31,000
\nNo, right.
\nThat was a No-No because dead <\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:31,000 –> 00:12:35,700
\nstuff was unclean.
\nSo consider this God says, <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:35,800 –> 00:12:38,600
\nRavens are going to give you
\nfood, right? <\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:38,600 –> 00:12:40,800
\nAnd the way that, you know, that
\nthings are unclean within <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:40,800 –> 00:12:43,400
\nJudaism.
\nIt’s a very quick quick way to <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:43,400 –> 00:12:45,500
\nknow if an animal is kosher or
\nnot. <\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:45,800 –> 00:12:49,100
\nAnd that is, if that animal is
\nconsidered, A scavenger <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:49,900 –> 00:12:55,500
\nscavengers are not clean.
\nSo a raven is a scavenger <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:56,500 –> 00:13:01,800
\ntherefore imagine this.
\nGod says to Elijah an unclean <\/p>\n

205
\n00:13:01,800 –> 00:13:03,900
\nbird is going to give you your
\nfood. <\/p>\n

206
\n00:13:05,000 –> 00:13:07,100
\nCan you imagine Elijah’s next
\nquestion? <\/p>\n

207
\n00:13:08,900 –> 00:13:12,900
\nWell, what kind of food is that
\ngoing to be right? <\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:13,300 –> 00:13:18,700
\nBecause probably, you know, it’s
\ngoing to be bringing today’s <\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:18,700 –> 00:13:22,500
\nroadkill, you know?
\nAnd when Ahab was driving around<\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:22,500 –> 00:13:25,000
\nor whatever and he runs into
\nsomething, they nuns at the <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:25,000 –> 00:13:27,300
\nRaven flies down and brings it
\nto Elijah. <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:27,300 –> 00:13:29,400
\nAnd here’s this dead thing.
\nAnd here’s Elijah. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:13:29,400 –> 00:13:31,500
\nJust trying to figure out.
\nWell, I wonder where this came <\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:31,500 –> 00:13:33,500
\nfrom.
\nIs this clean or not? <\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:33,500 –> 00:13:38,200
\nI probably can’t eat this.
\nSo it’s a fascinating sort of <\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:38,200 –> 00:13:41,200
\nthing.
\nThat God essentially is giving <\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:41,200 –> 00:13:47,100
\nhim like extra uncleanness and
\nhe didn’t have a choice. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:49,300 –> 00:13:54,600
\nNow just to bring this home even
\nmore for Elijah in Hebrew. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:13:54,600 –> 00:13:58,500
\nThere’s two words that just
\ngenerically mean food. <\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:59,500 –> 00:14:02,600
\nSo this typically this is sort
\nof a funny translation kind of <\/p>\n

221
\n00:14:02,600 –> 00:14:04,700
\nthing.
\nAnybody know how these words <\/p>\n

222
\n00:14:04,700 –> 00:14:09,000
\nwould be translated typically in
\nthe King James they’re typically<\/p>\n

223
\n00:14:09,000 –> 00:14:12,200
\ntranslated as meat but they
\ndon’t mean meat. <\/p>\n

224
\n00:14:13,200 –> 00:14:17,000
\nI mean food, often times, they
\nactually mean not meet. <\/p>\n

225
\n00:14:17,300 –> 00:14:19,500
\nSo, like, grain, this is your
\nword. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:19,600 –> 00:14:25,500
\nOh, hell, and Mahal.
\nSo those typically mean food. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:14:26,000 –> 00:14:29,100
\nNow, what’s fascinating about?
\nThis is when God commands <\/p>\n

228
\n00:14:29,100 –> 00:14:35,900
\nElijah, he doesn’t use the
\ngeneric food words. and I think <\/p>\n

229
\n00:14:35,900 –> 00:14:40,300
\nthat’s, because It could have
\ngiven Elijah the wrong <\/p>\n

230
\n00:14:40,300 –> 00:14:43,400
\nimpression.
\nOh, you know, this is just kind <\/p>\n

231
\n00:14:43,400 –> 00:14:46,900
\nof an accident that the law is
\ngoing to be broken. <\/p>\n

232
\n00:14:48,000 –> 00:14:53,600
\nBut instead God specifically
\nuses the word basar which in <\/p>\n

233
\n00:14:53,600 –> 00:15:01,900
\nHebrew means flesh.
\nSo when God tells Elijah, the <\/p>\n

234
\n00:15:01,900 –> 00:15:06,600
\nRavens are going to bring you
\nbread and they’re going to bring<\/p>\n

235
\n00:15:06,600 –> 00:15:09,800
\nyou flesh.
\nBut this is what were <\/p>\n

236
\n00:15:09,800 –> 00:15:13,100
\nspecifically told that he was
\ngiven bread and flesh. <\/p>\n

237
\n00:15:13,100 –> 00:15:17,000
\nSo when we read this, we have to
\nrecognize. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:15:17,800 –> 00:15:21,600
\nIt’s not just that he got food
\nfrom Ravens, but he was <\/p>\n

239
\n00:15:21,700 –> 00:15:26,400
\nspecifically being brought dead
\nstuff to eat. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:15:28,200 –> 00:15:31,200
\nI don’t know if that like blows
\nyour mind, I hope it does. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:15:31,700 –> 00:15:36,900
\nBecause essentially what God is
\nshowing us is that he put Elijah<\/p>\n

242
\n00:15:36,900 –> 00:15:41,400
\nin a situation where it was
\nunavoidable to break the law. <\/p>\n

243
\n00:15:42,900 –> 00:15:47,900
\nUnless you know, and this is
\nwhat we do as humans, right? <\/p>\n

244
\n00:15:48,600 –> 00:15:53,300
\nWe get put in certain situations
\nand we can see, you know, well, <\/p>\n

245
\n00:15:53,500 –> 00:15:56,900
\nthere’s a commandment, I don’t
\nthink it’s gonna validate our. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:15:56,900 –> 00:15:58,600
\nI don’t think it’s going to
\nbreak the principal to break <\/p>\n

247
\n00:15:58,600 –> 00:16:01,700
\nthat command, but I don’t feel
\ncomfortable breaking it. <\/p>\n

248
\n00:16:01,700 –> 00:16:03,400
\nAnyway.
\nI’ve and, you know, we have <\/p>\n

249
\n00:16:03,400 –> 00:16:05,600
\nthese choices and we’re not sure
\nwhat to do. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:16:06,600 –> 00:16:09,500
\nAnd so sometimes we almost
\ndouble down on the letter of the<\/p>\n

251
\n00:16:09,500 –> 00:16:12,600
\nlaw.
\nSo maybe that’s what Elijah did,<\/p>\n

252
\n00:16:12,600 –> 00:16:14,000
\nyou know?
\nYou can almost picture him <\/p>\n

253
\n00:16:14,000 –> 00:16:17,500
\nsaying, oh, oh, put that in the
\npile of dead stuff, you know? <\/p>\n

254
\n00:16:17,500 –> 00:16:20,000
\nAnd there’s just this pile, it’s
\ngrowing every day because Elijah<\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:20,000 –> 00:16:24,000
\nwon’t eat it, right?
\nHe, it’s almost like he says, <\/p>\n

256
\n00:16:24,000 –> 00:16:25,700
\nno, that’s breaking the law.
\nI’m not gonna do it. <\/p>\n

257
\n00:16:25,800 –> 00:16:30,000
\nI don’t know, you know, maybe he
\ndoubled down on his his feelings<\/p>\n

258
\n00:16:30,000 –> 00:16:32,800
\nof, I can’t break the law, maybe
\nwe don’t know. <\/p>\n

259
\n00:16:34,200 –> 00:16:36,300
\nBut I think this is how we act
\nsometimes. <\/p>\n

260
\n00:16:37,400 –> 00:16:40,700
\nWhatever it was, God was
\nspecifically putting him in a <\/p>\n

261
\n00:16:40,708 –> 00:16:48,200
\nsituation where it he almost had
\nto break the law. now, the <\/p>\n

262
\n00:16:48,200 –> 00:16:53,100
\nreason I want to talk about
\nthis, is because I don’t think <\/p>\n

263
\n00:16:53,100 –> 00:16:59,000
\nwe often realize how often this
\nis the case that God does this, <\/p>\n

264
\n00:17:00,200 –> 00:17:03,800
\nThis is one of my absolute
\nfavorite things to look at in <\/p>\n

265
\n00:17:03,800 –> 00:17:06,800
\nscripture.
\nI’m gonna I’m gonna just ignore <\/p>\n

266
\n00:17:06,800 –> 00:17:08,900
\nmy slides for a little bit now
\nbecause I want to talk to you <\/p>\n

267
\n00:17:08,900 –> 00:17:10,599
\nabout this because it’s so
\nexciting. <\/p>\n

268
\n00:17:12,000 –> 00:17:17,900
\nSo, God, consistently throughout
\nthe Old Testament forces. <\/p>\n

269
\n00:17:17,900 –> 00:17:21,700
\nHis people to break the law.
\nAnd I think that’s fascinating. <\/p>\n

270
\n00:17:22,700 –> 00:17:25,800
\nNow, let’s just back up a little
\nbit to see it, right? <\/p>\n

271
\n00:17:26,800 –> 00:17:29,400
\nThe first commandment in the law
\nof Moses, anybody know what it <\/p>\n

272
\n00:17:29,408 –> 00:17:32,000
\nwas?
\nFirst come in the law of Moses. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:17:33,700 –> 00:17:38,400
\nThis is the commands of
\nPassover. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:17:39,300 –> 00:17:40,800
\nIt’s Passover first
\nCommandments, right? <\/p>\n

275
\n00:17:40,800 –> 00:17:43,500
\nBecause there, they haven’t
\ngotten the law yet. <\/p>\n

276
\n00:17:43,500 –> 00:17:45,200
\nThey’re they’re about to leave.
\nEgypt. <\/p>\n

277
\n00:17:45,200 –> 00:17:49,100
\nIts Exodus chapter 12.
\nSo, first Commandments, the law <\/p>\n

278
\n00:17:49,100 –> 00:17:51,600
\nof Moses, Exodus chapter 12.
\nSo you can, you can verify this <\/p>\n

279
\n00:17:51,600 –> 00:17:54,300
\nif you want.
\nExodus 11. <\/p>\n

280
\n00:17:54,300 –> 00:17:58,300
\nLet’s back up one chapter.
\nWe are at the final plague, <\/p>\n

281
\n00:17:58,300 –> 00:18:01,100
\nright?
\nSo we’re at the final plague. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:18:01,100 –> 00:18:04,400
\nExodus chapter 11, Moses goes in
\nfront of pharaoh and here’s what<\/p>\n

283
\n00:18:04,400 –> 00:18:11,200
\nhe says tonight, at midnight The
\nfirstborn in the land will die, <\/p>\n

284
\n00:18:11,600 –> 00:18:13,700
\nokay?
\nTonight at midnight firstborn in<\/p>\n

285
\n00:18:13,700 –> 00:18:17,300
\nthe land will die.
\nTherefore we’re going to have to<\/p>\n

286
\n00:18:17,600 –> 00:18:20,100
\nto figure this out here.
\nSee if we can do it. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:18:20,800 –> 00:18:26,700
\nAnybody want to guess what day
\nof the first month it was What <\/p>\n

288
\n00:18:26,700 –> 00:18:31,200
\nday of the first month?
\nIt’s going to be the 14th 14th <\/p>\n

289
\n00:18:31,200 –> 00:18:32,900
\nday of the first month.
\nBecause that was Passover, <\/p>\n

290
\n00:18:33,100 –> 00:18:35,600
\nright?
\nAll the firstborn died, 14th day<\/p>\n

291
\n00:18:35,608 –> 00:18:37,800
\nof the first month, okay?
\nNow you might be wondering, you <\/p>\n

292
\n00:18:37,808 –> 00:18:40,700
\nknow, why is this significant?
\nOkay, well, let’s now jump <\/p>\n

293
\n00:18:40,700 –> 00:18:44,700
\nforward to chapter 12.
\nGet this chapter 12. <\/p>\n

294
\n00:18:44,700 –> 00:18:46,900
\nGod, comes to Moses.
\nWhat day is it? <\/p>\n

295
\n00:18:48,100 –> 00:18:52,400
\n14th, the first month, right?
\nGod comes to Moses chapter 12. <\/p>\n

296
\n00:18:52,500 –> 00:18:56,200
\nMoses has already said today,
\nall the firstborn in the land <\/p>\n

297
\n00:18:56,200 –> 00:18:58,400
\nwill die at midnight.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n

298
\n00:18:59,100 –> 00:19:03,800
\nGod says to Moses, you can check
\nit. first few verses of Exodus <\/p>\n

299
\n00:19:03,800 –> 00:19:11,500
\n12, he says I want you to tell
\nthe whole congregation to take a<\/p>\n

300
\n00:19:11,500 –> 00:19:15,700
\nlamb, one land for each
\nhousehold and I want you to do <\/p>\n

301
\n00:19:15,700 –> 00:19:24,100
\nit on the what day of the month.
\n10th. now, your Moses What do <\/p>\n

302
\n00:19:24,108 –> 00:19:25,500
\nyou think you do if you hear
\nthis? <\/p>\n

303
\n00:19:27,000 –> 00:19:31,700
\nYou think well God that was four
\ndays ago. <\/p>\n

304
\n00:19:33,500 –> 00:19:37,000
\nHow’s that supposed to work?
\nAnd you know what’s fascinating <\/p>\n

305
\n00:19:37,800 –> 00:19:42,100
\nis if you keep reading the
\nchapter, you’ll notice Moses <\/p>\n

306
\n00:19:43,000 –> 00:19:47,300
\ndoesn’t say that to the
\nIsraelites he doesn’t tell them <\/p>\n

307
\n00:19:47,700 –> 00:19:51,000
\ngo choose a lamb, hold on to it
\nfor four days and on the 14th <\/p>\n

308
\n00:19:51,000 –> 00:19:53,700
\nday will kill the lamb.
\nHe doesn’t tell them that <\/p>\n

309
\n00:19:54,300 –> 00:19:57,200
\ninstead he says take a lamb and
\nthen kill it. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:19:58,100 –> 00:20:02,700
\nBecause Moses realized it was
\nimpossible to follow the law. <\/p>\n

311
\n00:20:03,600 –> 00:20:07,200
\nHe couldn’t was supposed to have
\nbeen followed for days ago, but <\/p>\n

312
\n00:20:07,200 –> 00:20:09,500
\nit wasn’t possible.
\nThe first command in the law of <\/p>\n

313
\n00:20:09,500 –> 00:20:13,000
\nMoses that God ever gives was
\nimpossible to keep. <\/p>\n

314
\n00:20:13,800 –> 00:20:16,100
\nIs that fascinating?
\nThis is just what God <\/p>\n

315
\n00:20:16,200 –> 00:20:19,100
\ncontinually does and you can
\njust picture Moses thinking, <\/p>\n

316
\n00:20:22,300 –> 00:20:24,400
\nWell, I don’t know what to do
\nwith this, right? <\/p>\n

317
\n00:20:24,400 –> 00:20:28,900
\nAnd and this is how God is
\nconsistently working with law. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:20:29,000 –> 00:20:33,400
\nHe puts his people into
\nsituations where they cannot <\/p>\n

319
\n00:20:33,400 –> 00:20:40,700
\nkeep the law, because He wants
\nthem to realize it’s about <\/p>\n

320
\n00:20:40,700 –> 00:20:43,300
\nprinciple.
\nNot about law. <\/p>\n

321
\n00:20:44,700 –> 00:20:48,400
\nThe law was the Schoolmaster to
\nlead them to Christ. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:20:49,400 –> 00:20:51,200
\nIt’s about principle not about
\nloss of the very first <\/p>\n

323
\n00:20:51,200 –> 00:20:54,900
\ncommandment impossible, to keep.
\nNow, there’s more, there’s more <\/p>\n

324
\n00:20:54,900 –> 00:20:57,300
\nof these, I’ll tell you my
\nfavorite one, okay? <\/p>\n

325
\n00:20:57,600 –> 00:21:04,000
\nSo you remember the story, when
\nthe ark was taken from the <\/p>\n

326
\n00:21:04,000 –> 00:21:08,000
\nIsraelites, right?
\n9:30, Phineas take the ark. <\/p>\n

327
\n00:21:08,200 –> 00:21:10,300
\nThey go into battle, they’re
\nkilled. <\/p>\n

328
\n00:21:10,400 –> 00:21:13,200
\nThe arc, gets stolen by the
\nPhilistines right. <\/p>\n

329
\n00:21:14,000 –> 00:21:15,600
\nThere you go, through this whole
\nfunny story. <\/p>\n

330
\n00:21:15,600 –> 00:21:18,300
\nWe’re not going to talk about it
\na lot, but I’ll man, it’s like <\/p>\n

331
\n00:21:18,300 –> 00:21:21,800
\none of the best stories.
\nIt’s first Samuel chapter 4 and <\/p>\n

332
\n00:21:21,800 –> 00:21:24,000
\n5.
\nThey are gets taken by the <\/p>\n

333
\n00:21:24,000 –> 00:21:25,500
\nPhilistines.
\nThey put it in the house of <\/p>\n

334
\n00:21:25,500 –> 00:21:27,500
\nDagon.
\nYou remember what happens to <\/p>\n

335
\n00:21:27,500 –> 00:21:30,300
\nDagon?
\nYeah he falls over his hands. <\/p>\n

336
\n00:21:30,300 –> 00:21:32,800
\nChopped off his head.
\nChopped off right and and the <\/p>\n

337
\n00:21:32,800 –> 00:21:35,200
\nPhilistines huh?
\nOh do you know they put him back<\/p>\n

338
\n00:21:35,200 –> 00:21:38,100
\nup they stick everything back on
\nthe next day. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:21:38,800 –> 00:21:41,600
\nThe next day they come Dagon
\nfalling over in front of the arc<\/p>\n

340
\n00:21:41,600 –> 00:21:46,000
\nagain.
\nSo anyway, this all goes on <\/p>\n

341
\n00:21:46,000 –> 00:21:48,700
\nright.
\nThe arc gets brought back <\/p>\n

342
\n00:21:48,700 –> 00:21:50,100
\neventually.
\nLee to Israel. <\/p>\n

343
\n00:21:51,000 –> 00:21:52,400
\nThe Arc is eventually brought
\nback. <\/p>\n

344
\n00:21:53,500 –> 00:21:57,800
\nAnd it gets put into cure, Jess
\njairam. <\/p>\n

345
\n00:21:58,300 –> 00:22:04,100
\nCarriage after him and it stays
\nin a man’s house for over 40 <\/p>\n

346
\n00:22:04,100 –> 00:22:08,000
\nyears.
\nWe know that because we’re <\/p>\n

347
\n00:22:08,000 –> 00:22:11,600
\nspecifically told First
\nChronicles 13. <\/p>\n

348
\n00:22:12,900 –> 00:22:17,900
\nThe Arc sat there during the
\nentire reign of Saul. <\/p>\n

349
\n00:22:18,900 –> 00:22:22,800
\nNobody did anything with it.
\nSaul rains for 40 years arc’s, <\/p>\n

350
\n00:22:22,800 –> 00:22:26,600
\nit’s there now.
\nYou might just be thinking, okay<\/p>\n

351
\n00:22:26,800 –> 00:22:30,400
\nno big deal, the ark was just in
\ncured yet you’re in 40 years <\/p>\n

352
\n00:22:30,400 –> 00:22:33,500
\nwhatever.
\nWell it was a big deal because <\/p>\n

353
\n00:22:35,500 –> 00:22:42,500
\nEvery year the high priest.
\nGoes into the holy place. <\/p>\n

354
\n00:22:43,500 –> 00:22:45,700
\nHe takes his sensor with him,
\nright? <\/p>\n

355
\n00:22:46,400 –> 00:22:52,500
\nHe lights incense.
\nThe incense fills the room and <\/p>\n

356
\n00:22:52,500 –> 00:22:57,900
\nit fills up the most holy place.
\nHigh priest, then opens the veil<\/p>\n

357
\n00:22:58,300 –> 00:23:00,800
\nto go into the most holy place
\nand what does he see? <\/p>\n

358
\n00:23:02,800 –> 00:23:05,800
\nNothing.
\nNothing’s there. <\/p>\n

359
\n00:23:06,500 –> 00:23:12,100
\nNow that was the absolute most
\nimportant day on the Hebrew <\/p>\n

360
\n00:23:12,100 –> 00:23:14,600
\ncalendar, it was the day of
\natonement. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:23:15,300 –> 00:23:19,600
\nAnd the whole point of the day
\nof atonement was to, what <\/p>\n

362
\n00:23:21,100 –> 00:23:23,800
\nforgive the people?
\nThey were supposed to get <\/p>\n

363
\n00:23:23,800 –> 00:23:25,700
\nforgiven on the day of
\natonement. <\/p>\n

364
\n00:23:26,100 –> 00:23:30,200
\nSo, can you imagine, here’s the
\nhigh priest walking to where the<\/p>\n

365
\n00:23:30,200 –> 00:23:33,600
\nark supposed to be and he
\nsupposed to pray in front of the<\/p>\n

366
\n00:23:33,600 –> 00:23:36,100
\nArk, he opens up the There’s no
\nArc. <\/p>\n

367
\n00:23:36,100 –> 00:23:37,900
\nWhat do you feel?
\nLike if you’re the high priest <\/p>\n

368
\n00:23:38,300 –> 00:23:41,700
\nyou feel like well this was kind
\nof a waste of time and then you <\/p>\n

369
\n00:23:41,700 –> 00:23:47,400
\nthink well here’s another here
\nwhere we’re not forgiving that’s<\/p>\n

370
\n00:23:47,600 –> 00:23:50,400
\nawesome, you know?
\nRight like like what am I <\/p>\n

371
\n00:23:50,408 –> 00:23:53,200
\nsupposed to do?
\nYou’ve closed up to fail and you<\/p>\n

372
\n00:23:53,200 –> 00:24:00,500
\nwalk away and this was 40 years.
\nWhere the Israelites could not <\/p>\n

373
\n00:24:00,500 –> 00:24:05,300
\nbe forgiven through their love.
\nAnd so you get David coming <\/p>\n

374
\n00:24:05,300 –> 00:24:11,000
\nalong and realizing it’s not
\nabout law. <\/p>\n

375
\n00:24:11,100 –> 00:24:14,300
\nThat God is constantly saying,
\nthat’s not what I’m doing. <\/p>\n

376
\n00:24:14,300 –> 00:24:17,600
\nI’m trying to teach you
\nprincipal. do you remember in <\/p>\n

377
\n00:24:17,600 –> 00:24:22,500
\nthe David Psalm that he writes
\nafter his sin with Bathsheba, <\/p>\n

378
\n00:24:23,300 –> 00:24:26,200
\nPsalm 51, right?
\nRight. <\/p>\n

379
\n00:24:26,200 –> 00:24:32,300
\nAt the end he says You do not
\ndesire sacrifices. <\/p>\n

380
\n00:24:32,900 –> 00:24:36,100
\nYou remember that or else?
\nI would give them. <\/p>\n

381
\n00:24:36,100 –> 00:24:39,200
\nHe says, you don’t want
\nsacrifices or else I would give <\/p>\n

382
\n00:24:39,200 –> 00:24:45,900
\nthem instead the sacrifices of
\nGod are a broken and contrite <\/p>\n

383
\n00:24:45,900 –> 00:24:48,700
\nheart.
\nNow, we like to quote those <\/p>\n

384
\n00:24:48,800 –> 00:24:51,700
\nverses to say wasn’t about the
\nofferings. <\/p>\n

385
\n00:24:52,500 –> 00:24:55,600
\nI think that’s good.
\nBut let’s think about the <\/p>\n

386
\n00:24:55,600 –> 00:24:59,400
\ncontext just a little bit.
\nHere’s David. <\/p>\n

387
\n00:25:01,100 –> 00:25:03,400
\nWe’re for a big chunk of his
\nlife. <\/p>\n

388
\n00:25:04,100 –> 00:25:08,600
\nThere was no Arc, there was no
\nforgiveness and he’s thinking <\/p>\n

389
\n00:25:08,600 –> 00:25:16,000
\nthinking thinking about all of
\nthis and then God Helps him to <\/p>\n

390
\n00:25:16,000 –> 00:25:20,000
\nrealize.
\nThat he has just committed <\/p>\n

391
\n00:25:20,800 –> 00:25:25,300
\nadultery and murder now under
\nthe law. <\/p>\n

392
\n00:25:26,500 –> 00:25:30,000
\nWhat?
\nHow do you get forgiven for <\/p>\n

393
\n00:25:30,000 –> 00:25:34,500
\nadultery and murder?
\nYou don’t write you just die. <\/p>\n

394
\n00:25:35,700 –> 00:25:39,600
\nI mean, that was the situation.
\nYou, you just get stoned the <\/p>\n

395
\n00:25:39,600 –> 00:25:41,800
\nend, you know, your maybe you
\nget stone twice because that’s <\/p>\n

396
\n00:25:42,200 –> 00:25:46,000
\nyou know, adultery and murder.
\nSo it was bad, right? <\/p>\n

397
\n00:25:46,000 –> 00:25:48,900
\nAnd so David realizes, I can’t
\ngive you anything. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:25:49,000 –> 00:25:51,400
\nThere’s no sacrifice I can
\noffer. <\/p>\n

399
\n00:25:51,500 –> 00:25:54,000
\nSo it’s not just that he’s
\nsaying God didn’t want <\/p>\n

400
\n00:25:54,000 –> 00:25:56,600
\nsacrifices, David is realizing
\nfor me. <\/p>\n

401
\n00:25:56,600 –> 00:26:00,500
\nPersonally, I am dead according
\nto the law. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:26:01,300 –> 00:26:06,800
\nThere is nothing that I can do.
\nAnd this is what God is <\/p>\n

403
\n00:26:06,900 –> 00:26:09,800
\nconstantly doing.
\nAnd we are going to see this <\/p>\n

404
\n00:26:10,000 –> 00:26:14,200
\nvery powerfully in the life of
\nElijah that God says Elijah. <\/p>\n

405
\n00:26:14,500 –> 00:26:17,800
\nYou want food?
\nYou’re going to have to eat it <\/p>\n

406
\n00:26:18,600 –> 00:26:20,700
\nfrom an unclean bird, and, you
\nknow what? <\/p>\n

407
\n00:26:20,700 –> 00:26:24,800
\nThat food is actually probably
\nunclean too. <\/p>\n

408
\n00:26:25,900 –> 00:26:27,100
\nWhat are you gonna do about
\nthat? <\/p>\n

409
\n00:26:28,600 –> 00:26:33,300
\nThis is Elijah being pushed
\nBeyond his comfort zone. <\/p>\n

410
\n00:26:35,200 –> 00:26:40,300
\nOkay.
\nFood from an unclean animal and <\/p>\n

411
\n00:26:40,400 –> 00:26:43,500
\nfood that was dead on its own
\nDeuteronomy. 14 21. <\/p>\n

412
\n00:26:43,900 –> 00:26:47,100
\nYou shall not eat anything that
\nhas died naturally. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:26:48,900 –> 00:26:52,300
\nIf you want those two references
\nas well, by the way, Ezekiel 414<\/p>\n

414
\n00:26:52,700 –> 00:26:56,700
\nand acts 1014.
\nThose are two places in which <\/p>\n

415
\n00:26:57,200 –> 00:27:01,500
\nfaithful people Ezekiel and
\nPeter are both saying I have <\/p>\n

416
\n00:27:01,500 –> 00:27:05,200
\nnever eaten anything in my life.
\nThat is unclean, right? <\/p>\n

417
\n00:27:05,700 –> 00:27:15,600
\nSo you can see now that was what
\nwas typical Okay, so this is <\/p>\n

418
\n00:27:15,600 –> 00:27:21,100
\nwhat God is doing for Elijah.
\nI think he’s reminding Elijah, <\/p>\n

419
\n00:27:21,100 –> 00:27:24,800
\nyou know, this is the, this is
\nthe constant message that God is<\/p>\n

420
\n00:27:24,800 –> 00:27:27,400
\nin control.
\nAnd I think what’s incredibly <\/p>\n

421
\n00:27:27,400 –> 00:27:31,700
\npowerful about this is and I
\ndon’t, I don’t mean this to be <\/p>\n

422
\n00:27:31,700 –> 00:27:35,200
\nbelittling in any kind of way.
\nBut I think that this is <\/p>\n

423
\n00:27:35,200 –> 00:27:37,300
\nactually a helpful thing for us
\nto recognize. <\/p>\n

424
\n00:27:38,200 –> 00:27:42,200
\nDo you notice where God puts
\nElijah? <\/p>\n

425
\n00:27:44,100 –> 00:27:51,400
\nHe puts him in a place that is
\nmiles away from any other human.<\/p>\n

426
\n00:27:53,600 –> 00:27:57,300
\nSo Elijah has just said, you
\nknow, essentially don’t worry, <\/p>\n

427
\n00:27:57,300 –> 00:28:00,300
\nGod, I got this.
\nI’m going to call down a <\/p>\n

428
\n00:28:00,308 –> 00:28:02,600
\ndrought.
\nI’ll convert the people. <\/p>\n

429
\n00:28:03,000 –> 00:28:06,600
\nI’ll take care of your plan.
\nI got it all and God says, okay <\/p>\n

430
\n00:28:06,600 –> 00:28:08,400
\nElijah.
\nI actually have a plan. <\/p>\n

431
\n00:28:08,600 –> 00:28:11,200
\nYou go and you live out by
\nyourself for years. <\/p>\n

432
\n00:28:13,100 –> 00:28:15,600
\nNow can you imagine how that
\nwould feel right? <\/p>\n

433
\n00:28:15,600 –> 00:28:19,800
\nYou you think you’re taking care
\nof this whole thing and God says<\/p>\n

434
\n00:28:19,900 –> 00:28:25,200
\nokay yeah you go take care of it
\nby yourself and the only thing <\/p>\n

435
\n00:28:25,200 –> 00:28:30,700
\nyou can talk to our unclean
\nBirds And that’s what Elijah has<\/p>\n

436
\n00:28:30,700 –> 00:28:32,800
\nto do.
\nHe just goes and he sits there. <\/p>\n

437
\n00:28:34,600 –> 00:28:38,000
\nWhat’s he gonna do with the
\nBrooke for years and years and <\/p>\n

438
\n00:28:38,000 –> 00:28:42,500
\nyears?
\nGod puts him in a place where he<\/p>\n

439
\n00:28:42,500 –> 00:28:52,300
\nhas to realize, oh, God’s plan.
\nDoesn’t depend on me. <\/p>\n

440
\n00:28:53,900 –> 00:28:55,200
\nNow, have you ever felt that
\nway? <\/p>\n

441
\n00:28:55,900 –> 00:29:01,000
\nHave you ever felt like, oh man,
\nyou know, I have this the set of<\/p>\n

442
\n00:29:01,000 –> 00:29:05,100
\ndecisions in front of me, and if
\nI don’t make the right decision,<\/p>\n

443
\n00:29:06,600 –> 00:29:10,100
\nGod isn’t going to be able to
\nfulfill his plan. <\/p>\n

444
\n00:29:11,000 –> 00:29:14,600
\nOr if I don’t make the right
\ndecision, you know somebody who <\/p>\n

445
\n00:29:14,600 –> 00:29:18,800
\nneeds help won’t get helped.
\nOr that if I don’t say the right<\/p>\n

446
\n00:29:18,800 –> 00:29:22,400
\nthing, when I’m preaching to
\nthis person, well, maybe they’re<\/p>\n

447
\n00:29:22,400 –> 00:29:25,900
\ngoing to turn away.
\nIf I don’t reach out to this <\/p>\n

448
\n00:29:25,900 –> 00:29:29,500
\nperson right now and this, this
\nis the Elijah way of thinking, <\/p>\n

449
\n00:29:29,500 –> 00:29:30,900
\nright?
\nI got a call down the drought <\/p>\n

450
\n00:29:30,900 –> 00:29:33,300
\nright now because if I don’t do
\nit now, things are gonna work <\/p>\n

451
\n00:29:33,300 –> 00:29:34,900
\nout God’s whole plan will fall
\napart. <\/p>\n

452
\n00:29:35,300 –> 00:29:36,600
\nSorry.
\nI got excited and I talked a <\/p>\n

453
\n00:29:36,600 –> 00:29:42,100
\nlittle fast, but this is a, this
\nis what we’re being told here <\/p>\n

454
\n00:29:42,400 –> 00:29:44,900
\nthat this is the way that Elijah
\nwas thinking. <\/p>\n

455
\n00:29:45,000 –> 00:29:50,400
\nAnd we so often think like this,
\nI remember before having to <\/p>\n

456
\n00:29:50,400 –> 00:29:53,500
\ndecisions in front of me and
\nfeeling like I didn’t know what.<\/p>\n

457
\n00:29:53,700 –> 00:29:55,300
\nWas going to glorify God the
\nmost. <\/p>\n

458
\n00:29:55,500 –> 00:29:57,800
\nSo I said, I’d pray and flip a
\ncoin. <\/p>\n

459
\n00:29:58,700 –> 00:30:03,600
\nMaybe you’ve done that before.
\nBut I think what God actually <\/p>\n

460
\n00:30:03,600 –> 00:30:07,700
\nwants us to realize is he can
\nactually work with both. <\/p>\n

461
\n00:30:08,500 –> 00:30:12,400
\nIt’s not a question of which
\none’s better and if I don’t do <\/p>\n

462
\n00:30:12,400 –> 00:30:14,500
\nthe right, one things will fall
\napart. <\/p>\n

463
\n00:30:15,200 –> 00:30:21,800
\nIt’s God saying actually you
\nhave to realize you’re less <\/p>\n

464
\n00:30:21,800 –> 00:30:23,400
\nimportant than you think you
\nare. <\/p>\n

465
\n00:30:24,600 –> 00:30:27,000
\nAnd I can actually take care of
\nthis without you. <\/p>\n

466
\n00:30:28,600 –> 00:30:32,300
\nThe key thing.
\nThat should amaze us. <\/p>\n

467
\n00:30:33,600 –> 00:30:37,400
\nIs that God actually wants to
\nuse us. <\/p>\n

468
\n00:30:39,700 –> 00:30:43,200
\nIt’s not that he has to.
\nBut that he wants to. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:30:44,600 –> 00:30:50,900
\nAnd so when we find ourselves
\nthinking, if I don’t do the <\/p>\n

470
\n00:30:50,900 –> 00:30:53,400
\nright thing here, if I don’t
\nmake the exact right choice, <\/p>\n

471
\n00:30:53,500 –> 00:30:56,700
\nit’s not going to work.
\nI think we’ve forgotten. <\/p>\n

472
\n00:30:58,000 –> 00:31:00,300
\nThat.
\nYes, we plant and we water. <\/p>\n

473
\n00:31:01,800 –> 00:31:05,500
\nBut God gives the increase.
\nAnd oh man I’ve been Can You <\/p>\n

474
\n00:31:05,500 –> 00:31:07,700
\nFeel the sense of relief in
\nthat? <\/p>\n

475
\n00:31:08,600 –> 00:31:11,600
\nI think there’s a major relief
\nacknowledging. <\/p>\n

476
\n00:31:13,000 –> 00:31:16,400
\nGod has his plan, God knows what
\nhe’s doing. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:31:17,700 –> 00:31:22,300
\nAnd so sometimes I think God
\nwill take us and like Elijah <\/p>\n

478
\n00:31:22,600 –> 00:31:25,100
\nhe’ll just put us in the desert
\nand say, you know, you got to <\/p>\n

479
\n00:31:25,200 –> 00:31:28,800
\nyou got to understand this.
\nI’m going to work out my plan. <\/p>\n

480
\n00:31:29,600 –> 00:31:35,400
\nDo you want to be a part of it?
\nBecause I’d like you to be so, <\/p>\n

481
\n00:31:36,900 –> 00:31:39,800
\nGod is teaching Elijah with the
\nRavens. <\/p>\n

482
\n00:31:39,800 –> 00:31:42,600
\nNot only are they an unclean
\nbird but there’s one other <\/p>\n

483
\n00:31:42,600 –> 00:31:45,800
\npassage at the time.
\nThat existed that mentioned <\/p>\n

484
\n00:31:45,800 –> 00:31:48,500
\nRavens.
\nIt’s in the Book of Job. <\/p>\n

485
\n00:31:49,600 –> 00:31:56,000
\nConsider what it says job. 3841
\nsays who provides for the Raven <\/p>\n

486
\n00:31:56,100 –> 00:32:00,400
\nits prey when its young ones cry
\nto God for help and wanders <\/p>\n

487
\n00:32:00,400 –> 00:32:05,000
\nabout for lack of food.
\nWhere was that food coming from <\/p>\n

488
\n00:32:05,000 –> 00:32:09,000
\nthat the Ravens head.
\nAnd that’s what God is showing <\/p>\n

489
\n00:32:09,900 –> 00:32:12,100
\nElijah.
\nI’ve got this. <\/p>\n

490
\n00:32:13,200 –> 00:32:15,800
\nI’m taking care of you.
\nThere’s a drought that you <\/p>\n

491
\n00:32:15,800 –> 00:32:22,500
\ncaused, but you’ll have water,
\nyou’ll have food because I take <\/p>\n

492
\n00:32:22,500 –> 00:32:30,400
\ncare of the Ravens.
\nSo as Elijah Waits The Brooke <\/p>\n

493
\n00:32:30,700 –> 00:32:33,000
\ngets smaller and smaller and you
\ncan just imagine again. <\/p>\n

494
\n00:32:33,100 –> 00:32:35,500
\nHere’s somebody who likes to be
\ndoing things. <\/p>\n

495
\n00:32:35,800 –> 00:32:37,900
\nHe calls down a drought because
\nhe feels like things should be <\/p>\n

496
\n00:32:37,900 –> 00:32:41,200
\ndone and he’s sitting in a place
\nwhere he can do nothing. <\/p>\n

497
\n00:32:42,000 –> 00:32:43,700
\nSo there he is.
\nWe don’t know how long he was <\/p>\n

498
\n00:32:43,700 –> 00:32:45,700
\nthere.
\nMaybe a year. <\/p>\n

499
\n00:32:46,100 –> 00:32:48,900
\nI mean the drought lasted for
\nthree and a half, right. <\/p>\n

500
\n00:32:49,100 –> 00:32:52,700
\nThe only two things he does is
\nhe’s at the brook and he goes to<\/p>\n

501
\n00:32:52,700 –> 00:32:55,500
\nthe Widow’s house.
\nSo somehow you know, you got to <\/p>\n

502
\n00:32:55,500 –> 00:32:58,600
\ndivide those two up amongst the
\nthree and a half years so you <\/p>\n

503
\n00:32:58,600 –> 00:33:00,800
\ncould have been here for years,
\nright? <\/p>\n

504
\n00:33:00,800 –> 00:33:03,300
\nSitting there by himself talking
\nto birds. <\/p>\n

505
\n00:33:04,600 –> 00:33:13,100
\nOkay, then the very next thing
\nthat happens is the word of God <\/p>\n

506
\n00:33:13,100 –> 00:33:16,300
\ncomes to him.
\nAnd he’s told this. <\/p>\n

507
\n00:33:17,800 –> 00:33:22,700
\nNow, you wonder and we’re not
\ntold you wonder how would it <\/p>\n

508
\n00:33:22,700 –> 00:33:26,800
\nhave affected Elijah to be fed
\nby those unclean Birds? <\/p>\n

509
\n00:33:26,900 –> 00:33:29,900
\nWould you have softened a little
\nbit but you have realized, you <\/p>\n

510
\n00:33:29,900 –> 00:33:31,900
\nknow, it’s not necessarily about
\nlaw. <\/p>\n

511
\n00:33:34,100 –> 00:33:35,800
\nWell, God’s Gonna push him a
\nlittle further. <\/p>\n

512
\n00:33:36,700 –> 00:33:41,300
\nHe says, I’ll rise go to
\nZarephath and I love this part <\/p>\n

513
\n00:33:41,900 –> 00:33:46,600
\nwhich belongs to sidon just to
\nmake sure, you know, in case <\/p>\n

514
\n00:33:46,600 –> 00:33:51,900
\nElijah didn’t know Apart.
\nSo God says go to Zarephath. <\/p>\n

515
\n00:33:53,100 –> 00:33:56,500
\nWhich belongs to sidon.
\nNow he could have said go to <\/p>\n

516
\n00:33:56,500 –> 00:34:00,100
\nZarephath, but he specifically
\ntells them, oh, by the way, <\/p>\n

517
\n00:34:00,300 –> 00:34:04,600
\nzidan or Zarephath is in zeidan.
\nNow, why would that have <\/p>\n

518
\n00:34:04,600 –> 00:34:07,600
\nmattered?
\nWhy would anybody care that? <\/p>\n

519
\n00:34:07,600 –> 00:34:14,300
\nZarephath in sidon.
\nIt’s a hostile place and that <\/p>\n

520
\n00:34:14,300 –> 00:34:19,699
\nwas where Jezebel was from.
\nSo Jezebel was the one who <\/p>\n

521
\n00:34:19,699 –> 00:34:22,600
\nbrought in the worship of Baal,
\nright? <\/p>\n

522
\n00:34:23,300 –> 00:34:26,199
\nSo now, God is saying, okay,
\nyou’ve been here at this Brook <\/p>\n

523
\n00:34:26,199 –> 00:34:30,199
\nfor years Now, I have a new
\nthing for you to do. <\/p>\n

524
\n00:34:30,800 –> 00:34:35,800
\nI want you to go hang out with
\nJezebel’s friends, right? <\/p>\n

525
\n00:34:36,100 –> 00:34:41,699
\nAnd you can just imagine Elijah
\nbeing like Are you talking about<\/p>\n

526
\n00:34:41,699 –> 00:34:44,500
\nthe Zarephath?
\nThat’s you know, in sidon and <\/p>\n

527
\n00:34:44,500 –> 00:34:49,199
\ngods like at Zarephath which is
\nin sidon, that one, right? <\/p>\n

528
\n00:34:49,199 –> 00:34:51,400
\nGo go to that zeroth.
\nI don’t want you to get <\/p>\n

529
\n00:34:51,400 –> 00:34:54,300
\nconfused, go to the bad one.
\nElijah. <\/p>\n

530
\n00:34:55,300 –> 00:34:59,700
\nSo here’s Elijah just thinking,
\nyou know, really, I was this <\/p>\n

531
\n00:34:59,800 –> 00:35:01,200
\nseriously.
\nWhat I’m supposed to do. <\/p>\n

532
\n00:35:04,200 –> 00:35:10,800
\nIt’s a 60-mile journey from
\ncherith to sidon so we would <\/p>\n

533
\n00:35:10,800 –> 00:35:13,100
\nhave had a long time to think
\nabout this and I think it’s <\/p>\n

534
\n00:35:13,100 –> 00:35:16,000
\nhelpful to just consider what he
\nwould have seen. <\/p>\n

535
\n00:35:16,600 –> 00:35:24,500
\nNow we know that the drought was
\nhappening, not just in Israel <\/p>\n

536
\n00:35:24,600 –> 00:35:31,700
\nbut also in sidon because the
\nWidow said she had no food, So <\/p>\n

537
\n00:35:31,700 –> 00:35:35,800
\ncan you imagine what it would
\nhave been like as Elijah? <\/p>\n

538
\n00:35:35,800 –> 00:35:38,000
\nHe had been sheltered from all
\nof this, right? <\/p>\n

539
\n00:35:38,400 –> 00:35:43,300
\nHe had been at a Brooke talking
\nto nobody but birds I know I’m <\/p>\n

540
\n00:35:43,300 –> 00:35:45,100
\nreally into this like talking to
\nbirds thing. <\/p>\n

541
\n00:35:46,200 –> 00:35:48,700
\nHe was at a Brooke talking to
\nnobody, but birds, he gets up <\/p>\n

542
\n00:35:48,700 –> 00:35:51,700
\nand he leaves and.
\nCan you imagine what the shock <\/p>\n

543
\n00:35:51,700 –> 00:35:56,400
\nwould be like?
\nAs he begins to walk through and<\/p>\n

544
\n00:35:56,400 –> 00:35:59,900
\nseas.
\nThe devastation. <\/p>\n

545
\n00:36:01,100 –> 00:36:07,200
\nThat happened.
\nBecause of him. <\/p>\n

546
\n00:36:09,000 –> 00:36:11,700
\nCan you imagine that as he’s
\nwalking down? <\/p>\n

547
\n00:36:11,700 –> 00:36:16,800
\nAnd he sees I don’t an empty
\nhouse Another Empty House. <\/p>\n

548
\n00:36:17,400 –> 00:36:22,000
\nAnother one skeletons, right?
\nI mean, this is this is what it <\/p>\n

549
\n00:36:22,000 –> 00:36:25,300
\nwould look like.
\nThis is a famine and then he <\/p>\n

550
\n00:36:25,300 –> 00:36:32,300
\ngets to another country and he
\nsees the same thing there. and <\/p>\n

551
\n00:36:32,300 –> 00:36:34,600
\nthat would have been kind of a
\nweird experience, I think <\/p>\n

552
\n00:36:35,100 –> 00:36:44,000
\nbecause As he goes.
\nTo this woman. <\/p>\n

553
\n00:36:45,800 –> 00:36:50,700
\nIt’s fascinating.
\nTo realize what God is doing. <\/p>\n

554
\n00:36:52,200 –> 00:36:56,700
\nWant to ask you a question here.
\nGodliness is not measured by <\/p>\n

555
\n00:36:56,700 –> 00:36:58,700
\nconverts.
\nThat wasn’t a question. <\/p>\n

556
\n00:36:59,200 –> 00:37:01,200
\nGodliness is not measured by
\nconverts, okay? <\/p>\n

557
\n00:37:01,500 –> 00:37:03,200
\nRight.
\nWe know that it’s not measured <\/p>\n

558
\n00:37:03,200 –> 00:37:06,200
\nby how many baptisms, you know,
\nwe bring about or anything like <\/p>\n

559
\n00:37:06,200 –> 00:37:08,200
\nthat.
\nScott someone season who is in <\/p>\n

560
\n00:37:08,207 –> 00:37:12,100
\ncontrol.
\nBut I do think it’s helpful to <\/p>\n

561
\n00:37:12,100 –> 00:37:17,900
\nask this question at this point
\nwho throughout Elijah’s life. <\/p>\n

562
\n00:37:19,200 –> 00:37:21,100
\nLearned the gospel because of
\nhim. <\/p>\n

563
\n00:37:22,300 –> 00:37:25,800
\nAnd he thought who learned the
\ngospel because of Elijah. <\/p>\n

564
\n00:37:27,900 –> 00:37:29,700
\nIt’s a really fascinating
\nanswer, I think. <\/p>\n

565
\n00:37:32,200 –> 00:37:34,900
\nIt was this woman.
\nAnd her son. <\/p>\n

566
\n00:37:36,400 –> 00:37:40,900
\nAnd that’s it. there were
\nabsolutely as far as we know, <\/p>\n

567
\n00:37:41,500 –> 00:37:45,000
\nthey were absolutely no
\nconversions in the entire <\/p>\n

568
\n00:37:45,000 –> 00:37:54,600
\nlifetime of Elijah except for to
\ngentiles I actually find that <\/p>\n

569
\n00:37:54,600 –> 00:37:58,300
\nkind of Awesome.
\nBecause you can see this <\/p>\n

570
\n00:37:58,300 –> 00:38:03,600
\noverriding theme.
\nElijah’s Big Goal was I’m going <\/p>\n

571
\n00:38:03,600 –> 00:38:08,100
\nto convert the king I’m going to
\nconvert the entire nation and <\/p>\n

572
\n00:38:08,100 –> 00:38:11,800
\nGod says No, Elijah, I’ll do
\nthat. <\/p>\n

573
\n00:38:13,200 –> 00:38:17,600
\nActually.
\nI’m going to use you to convert <\/p>\n

574
\n00:38:17,600 –> 00:38:21,100
\nsomebody, you never would have
\ntalked to before. <\/p>\n

575
\n00:38:22,200 –> 00:38:24,900
\nI’m gonna put you in a situation
\nthat makes you incredibly <\/p>\n

576
\n00:38:24,900 –> 00:38:28,000
\nuncomfortable.
\nI’m going to use you there. <\/p>\n

577
\n00:38:29,900 –> 00:38:33,900
\nElijah was a big man with Big
\nDreams, big goals. <\/p>\n

578
\n00:38:34,400 –> 00:38:38,200
\nAnd God says, I want you to be
\ncontent to fill a little space. <\/p>\n

579
\n00:38:40,400 –> 00:38:43,800
\nShe takes him to Zarephath and
\nhe has to learn. <\/p>\n

580
\n00:38:44,000 –> 00:38:48,200
\nGod was working with the unclean
\nBirds just like, God is working <\/p>\n

581
\n00:38:48,500 –> 00:38:54,200
\nwith these people now.
\nThis is very interesting because<\/p>\n

582
\n00:38:54,300 –> 00:38:58,600
\nI don’t think Elijah would have
\nhad a schema for this again. <\/p>\n

583
\n00:38:58,600 –> 00:39:01,700
\nWe just read this story and we
\nthink, oh yeah, he was sent to <\/p>\n

584
\n00:39:01,700 –> 00:39:04,900
\nsidon and I probably would have
\nbothered him, but I don’t think <\/p>\n

585
\n00:39:04,900 –> 00:39:08,300
\nwe think about What a moral
\ndilemma. <\/p>\n

586
\n00:39:08,400 –> 00:39:15,200
\nThe whole thing would have cost
\nbecause What did the law say <\/p>\n

587
\n00:39:15,200 –> 00:39:19,900
\nabout gentiles?
\nWhat kind of interaction where <\/p>\n

588
\n00:39:19,900 –> 00:39:22,900
\nyou as a Jew supposed to have
\nwith Gentiles? <\/p>\n

589
\n00:39:22,900 –> 00:39:24,100
\nThere were a couple of choices
\nhere. <\/p>\n

590
\n00:39:25,600 –> 00:39:27,200
\nStay separate.
\nSo that’s one choice. <\/p>\n

591
\n00:39:27,200 –> 00:39:28,800
\nRight?
\nStay separate. <\/p>\n

592
\n00:39:28,800 –> 00:39:31,100
\nWhich a lot of times meant you
\ngo in, and you kill them. <\/p>\n

593
\n00:39:32,500 –> 00:39:34,300
\nOkay.
\nSo that was one option with <\/p>\n

594
\n00:39:34,300 –> 00:39:39,200
\nGentiles Peter.
\nSee, you wouldn’t have a meal <\/p>\n

595
\n00:39:39,200 –> 00:39:42,600
\nwith them, that’s for sure.
\nYep, she wouldn’t do that. <\/p>\n

596
\n00:39:42,600 –> 00:39:45,200
\nAnd Elijah has been told to go
\nlive in her house, right? <\/p>\n

597
\n00:39:45,900 –> 00:39:50,500
\nHave a lot of meals.
\nYeah, you wouldn’t marry them. <\/p>\n

598
\n00:39:51,300 –> 00:39:55,900
\nWhat about if a gentile wanted
\nto know about God? <\/p>\n

599
\n00:39:56,000 –> 00:40:01,000
\nWhat would you do?
\nYou go through a whole <\/p>\n

600
\n00:40:01,000 –> 00:40:06,400
\nconversion process and they
\nwould become Jewish rights. <\/p>\n

601
\n00:40:06,400 –> 00:40:08,100
\nAnd the law is pretty clear
\nabout that. <\/p>\n

602
\n00:40:09,700 –> 00:40:14,700
\nCheck it out.
\nExodus, 12 verse 49 says, there <\/p>\n

603
\n00:40:14,700 –> 00:40:18,200
\nshall be one law for the native
\nand for the stranger, who <\/p>\n

604
\n00:40:18,200 –> 00:40:21,100
\nsojourns among you.
\nIn other words, those who are <\/p>\n

605
\n00:40:21,107 –> 00:40:23,200
\nGentiles, who want to know more
\nabout God. <\/p>\n

606
\n00:40:24,200 –> 00:40:28,800
\nThey have to follow the law.
\nLeviticus 16 29 says, the same <\/p>\n

607
\n00:40:28,800 –> 00:40:31,500
\nthing, it will be a statute.
\nThis is about the day of <\/p>\n

608
\n00:40:31,500 –> 00:40:33,800
\natonement.
\nIt shall be a statute to you <\/p>\n

609
\n00:40:33,800 –> 00:40:37,200
\nforever in that seventh month,
\non the tenth day of the month <\/p>\n

610
\n00:40:37,200 –> 00:40:39,900
\nyou shall afflict yourselves and
\nshall do no work. <\/p>\n

611
\n00:40:40,000 –> 00:40:42,800
\nEither the native or the
\nstranger who sojourns among you <\/p>\n

612
\n00:40:43,000 –> 00:40:46,800
\nso over and over and over.
\nGod says if there is a gentile <\/p>\n

613
\n00:40:47,100 –> 00:40:50,400
\nwho wants to know about me
\nthat’s fine. <\/p>\n

614
\n00:40:51,900 –> 00:40:55,900
\nBut they have to follow the law.
\nSo these are the choices you <\/p>\n

615
\n00:40:55,900 –> 00:40:58,400
\nstay separate from the Gentiles
\nwhich a lot of times meant you <\/p>\n

616
\n00:40:58,400 –> 00:41:00,400
\ngo in and you completely
\nobliterate them. <\/p>\n

617
\n00:41:01,100 –> 00:41:05,100
\nOr if there’s ones who want to
\nknow about God, you’re looking <\/p>\n

618
\n00:41:05,100 –> 00:41:09,300
\nat a rave or Ruth, right?
\nA complete process <\/p>\n

619
\n00:41:09,500 –> 00:41:13,900
\nproselytization.
\nYeah, there you go conversion, <\/p>\n

620
\n00:41:14,600 –> 00:41:17,600
\ncomplete conversion.
\nSo that was the idea. <\/p>\n

621
\n00:41:19,300 –> 00:41:22,700
\nNow, let me ask you this.
\nWhat did the law say? <\/p>\n

622
\n00:41:24,100 –> 00:41:27,700
\nAbout when you went to live with
\ngentiles? <\/p>\n

623
\n00:41:29,800 –> 00:41:34,200
\nNothing.
\nNow, you’re Elijah. <\/p>\n

624
\n00:41:36,200 –> 00:41:37,300
\nThe law is very important to
\nyou. <\/p>\n

625
\n00:41:37,500 –> 00:41:39,900
\nYou’ve called down a drought
\nbecause that is what the law <\/p>\n

626
\n00:41:39,900 –> 00:41:44,600
\nsaid should happen, right?
\nHere you are for the last year, <\/p>\n

627
\n00:41:44,600 –> 00:41:47,600
\ntwo years, whatever it is,
\nyou’ve been eating food from <\/p>\n

628
\n00:41:47,600 –> 00:41:52,300
\nunclean, birds food, which
\nitself was probably unclean or I<\/p>\n

629
\n00:41:52,308 –> 00:41:55,300
\ndon’t know, maybe you haven’t
\ntouched that, I don’t know. <\/p>\n

630
\n00:41:57,700 –> 00:42:02,500
\nAnd now God says, okay now you
\ncan’t avoid it. <\/p>\n

631
\n00:42:03,900 –> 00:42:12,300
\nGo live with this Gentile woman.
\nAnd by the way, There’s no <\/p>\n

632
\n00:42:12,300 –> 00:42:15,300
\nprovision for that in the law.
\nThere’s nothing. <\/p>\n

633
\n00:42:15,300 –> 00:42:16,600
\nThe law will tell you to do
\nthere. <\/p>\n

634
\n00:42:17,000 –> 00:42:21,100
\nSo here’s this fascinating, if
\nElijah decided, you know what I <\/p>\n

635
\n00:42:21,100 –> 00:42:25,400
\nwant to go and see.
\nLet’s see. <\/p>\n

636
\n00:42:25,400 –> 00:42:29,200
\nWhat does Scripture what kind of
\nadvice to scripture give about <\/p>\n

637
\n00:42:29,200 –> 00:42:38,000
\nthis consider the possible
\nexamples, so possible examples, <\/p>\n

638
\n00:42:38,800 –> 00:42:41,400
\nwho else lived under?
\nThe law are who else under the <\/p>\n

639
\n00:42:41,400 –> 00:42:42,900
\nlaw?
\nLived outside of the land. <\/p>\n

640
\n00:42:43,400 –> 00:42:46,400
\nWell David did.
\nNow let’s think about David’s <\/p>\n

641
\n00:42:46,400 –> 00:42:49,200
\nexperience outside of the land
\nof Israel. <\/p>\n

642
\n00:42:49,500 –> 00:42:51,000
\nWhat do you think?
\nGood bad. <\/p>\n

643
\n00:42:52,600 –> 00:42:55,800
\nYeah, pretty bad, right?
\nLike this is how he describes it<\/p>\n

644
\n00:42:55,900 –> 00:42:58,400
\nfirst Samuel 26, you see the end
\nthere. <\/p>\n

645
\n00:42:58,600 –> 00:43:01,800
\nDavid says it was like I was
\nbeing forced to go serve other <\/p>\n

646
\n00:43:01,800 –> 00:43:03,400
\ngods.
\nRight? <\/p>\n

647
\n00:43:04,200 –> 00:43:07,600
\nWhat do you do with that?
\nIf you’re Elijah, here you are <\/p>\n

648
\n00:43:07,600 –> 00:43:12,100
\nthinking and I know that doesn’t
\nsound too good, right? <\/p>\n

649
\n00:43:12,100 –> 00:43:16,200
\nThat’s that’s not real awesome.
\nOkay so you probably wouldn’t <\/p>\n

650
\n00:43:16,200 –> 00:43:19,700
\nhave wanted to look to David.
\nWell if you ask okay what about <\/p>\n

651
\n00:43:19,700 –> 00:43:22,900
\nbefore the law there were a
\nhandful of people Joseph or <\/p>\n

652
\n00:43:22,900 –> 00:43:26,000
\nMoses?
\nNow, let me ask you about <\/p>\n

653
\n00:43:26,000 –> 00:43:31,000
\nJoseph.
\nWhat was Joseph’s relationship <\/p>\n

654
\n00:43:31,300 –> 00:43:35,100
\nwith Egypt?
\nYeah, it was kind of like an <\/p>\n

655
\n00:43:35,100 –> 00:43:38,000
\ninteresting 50\/50 kind of like
\nhybrid thing, right? <\/p>\n

656
\n00:43:38,000 –> 00:43:41,800
\nWe often call him Joseph but
\nmost people probably would have <\/p>\n

657
\n00:43:41,800 –> 00:43:46,200
\ncalled him do.
\nYou know his Egyptian name Zaf <\/p>\n

658
\n00:43:46,200 –> 00:43:50,600
\nnathania, right?
\nSo anyway, you know, if you ever<\/p>\n

659
\n00:43:50,600 –> 00:43:52,500
\ngo on Jeopardy or something, you
\nmight need to know that. <\/p>\n

660
\n00:43:53,200 –> 00:43:57,900
\nSo so that was that was Joseph’s
\nEgyptian name and that was <\/p>\n

661
\n00:43:57,900 –> 00:43:59,400
\nprobably what most people knew
\nhim. <\/p>\n

662
\n00:43:59,400 –> 00:44:03,700
\nAs he had an Egyptian wife, he
\nhad an Egyptian family, right? <\/p>\n

663
\n00:44:03,700 –> 00:44:07,100
\nAnd his life was and is the
\ndaughter of an Egyptian priest. <\/p>\n

664
\n00:44:07,800 –> 00:44:10,400
\nSo you can imagine Elijah being
\nlike yeah, okay. <\/p>\n

665
\n00:44:10,400 –> 00:44:13,100
\nNot gonna think about Joseph
\neither, right? <\/p>\n

666
\n00:44:13,100 –> 00:44:15,400
\nLike he’s, he wasn’t, you know,
\nHardline enough. <\/p>\n

667
\n00:44:16,600 –> 00:44:21,600
\nSo who else to think about?
\nWell, I think he probably found <\/p>\n

668
\n00:44:21,600 –> 00:44:25,000
\nsome kind of solace in Moses,
\nright? <\/p>\n

669
\n00:44:25,400 –> 00:44:28,500
\nSo let’s think about, let’s just
\ntry and think like Elijah here. <\/p>\n

670
\n00:44:29,400 –> 00:44:32,000
\nIf you’re Elijah, you could
\nprobably find a few <\/p>\n

671
\n00:44:32,000 –> 00:44:35,200
\nsimilarities.
\nYou could try and come up with <\/p>\n

672
\n00:44:35,200 –> 00:44:37,900
\nthese and I don’t I’m going to
\nsay right off the bat. <\/p>\n

673
\n00:44:38,300 –> 00:44:39,800
\nI don’t think these were real
\nlegit. <\/p>\n

674
\n00:44:40,000 –> 00:44:42,900
\nI don’t think these are real
\ngood but I’m trying to trying to<\/p>\n

675
\n00:44:42,908 –> 00:44:44,600
\nlike put myself in Elijah’s
\nboots. <\/p>\n

676
\n00:44:45,200 –> 00:44:50,200
\nSo the the idea here is this is
\nperhaps how Elijah could have <\/p>\n

677
\n00:44:50,200 –> 00:44:52,900
\nthought.
\nElijah brought the drought to <\/p>\n

678
\n00:44:52,900 –> 00:44:54,700
\nsave his people but was resented
\nfor it. <\/p>\n

679
\n00:44:55,900 –> 00:44:58,900
\nMoses tried to save his people
\nbut was also resented for it. <\/p>\n

680
\n00:44:59,200 –> 00:45:03,200
\nMaybe a parallel Elijah was just
\nobeying God’s commands as he <\/p>\n

681
\n00:45:03,200 –> 00:45:04,800
\nfelt.
\nSo was Moses. <\/p>\n

682
\n00:45:04,800 –> 00:45:08,200
\nHe knew he was the deliverer.
\nSo Elijah had to flee to a <\/p>\n

683
\n00:45:08,200 –> 00:45:11,000
\nforeign Nation to hide from the
\nKing and sort of Moses. <\/p>\n

684
\n00:45:11,300 –> 00:45:14,300
\nYou can see him kind of almost
\nfeeling like, you know, Moses <\/p>\n

685
\n00:45:14,300 –> 00:45:17,000
\nwas a martyr and I am too kind
\nof thing. <\/p>\n

686
\n00:45:18,500 –> 00:45:20,200
\nOkay.
\nAnd in that foreign Nation he <\/p>\n

687
\n00:45:20,200 –> 00:45:23,600
\nmeets a woman and a sustained.
\nJust like Moses meet zipporah <\/p>\n

688
\n00:45:23,600 –> 00:45:28,500
\nand is sustained now we’re these
\nparallels really valid? <\/p>\n

689
\n00:45:29,200 –> 00:45:33,000
\nYeah, you know if somebody if I
\nheard somebody giving a Bible <\/p>\n

690
\n00:45:33,000 –> 00:45:37,700
\nclass saying these are these are
\nlike good parallels. <\/p>\n

691
\n00:45:37,700 –> 00:45:39,800
\nI’d probably be like me and not
\nso much. <\/p>\n

692
\n00:45:41,100 –> 00:45:44,500
\nSo maybe this is how Elijah was
\nthinking but where they <\/p>\n

693
\n00:45:44,500 –> 00:45:46,700
\nlegitimate biblically, I don’t
\nthink so. <\/p>\n

694
\n00:45:47,700 –> 00:45:52,000
\nBecause biblically, I think this
\nis what we’re being told. <\/p>\n

695
\n00:45:53,300 –> 00:45:57,400
\nElijah was not actually being
\nparalleled with Moses. <\/p>\n

696
\n00:45:59,000 –> 00:46:00,900
\nI think he was being paralleled
\nwith the Israelites. <\/p>\n

697
\n00:46:01,800 –> 00:46:08,200
\nThink about this God says, I’ll
\ngive you bread and meat that <\/p>\n

698
\n00:46:08,200 –> 00:46:10,900
\nremind you of anyone bread and
\nmeat. <\/p>\n

699
\n00:46:11,100 –> 00:46:14,700
\nAnd not only that I’ll give you
\nwater, right? <\/p>\n

700
\n00:46:15,100 –> 00:46:20,800
\nAnd eventually that bread meat
\nand water will run dry and so <\/p>\n

701
\n00:46:20,800 –> 00:46:22,800
\nyou’ll have to go to a foreign
\nNation to get it. <\/p>\n

702
\n00:46:22,900 –> 00:46:26,200
\nDo you remember that in the
\nExodus that the Israelites had <\/p>\n

703
\n00:46:26,200 –> 00:46:29,900
\nto go to the foreign Nations and
\nsay, can we purchase bread from <\/p>\n

704
\n00:46:29,900 –> 00:46:33,400
\nyou?
\nVery similar kind of situation. <\/p>\n

705
\n00:46:35,400 –> 00:46:43,500
\nIn fact, let’s just take a look.
\nExodus 16, 8, you get meat bread<\/p>\n

706
\n00:46:44,200 –> 00:46:47,000
\nin the evening in the morning.
\nSame times by the way, as when <\/p>\n

707
\n00:46:47,000 –> 00:46:50,800
\nElijah was given it.
\nPsalm 78 20. <\/p>\n

708
\n00:46:51,100 –> 00:46:54,200
\nYou have the water gushing out
\neventually God stops providing. <\/p>\n

709
\n00:46:54,600 –> 00:46:57,100
\nAnd so in Deuteronomy chapter 2
\nverses 1 to 6. <\/p>\n

710
\n00:46:57,400 –> 00:47:01,600
\nThey get sustained by Foreign
\nNations just like Elijah with a <\/p>\n

711
\n00:47:01,607 –> 00:47:04,500
\nwidow at Zarephath.
\nSustained by a foreign Nation. <\/p>\n

712
\n00:47:07,000 –> 00:47:08,500
\nHere’s what I think is
\nfascinating about this. <\/p>\n

713
\n00:47:10,200 –> 00:47:13,500
\nElijah story wasn’t the story of
\nMoses, like he wanted it to be. <\/p>\n

714
\n00:47:14,800 –> 00:47:17,100
\nIt was a lot less glorious than
\nthat. <\/p>\n

715
\n00:47:18,000 –> 00:47:22,900
\nIt was the story of the people
\nwho didn’t get it, who <\/p>\n

716
\n00:47:22,900 –> 00:47:27,600
\ncomplained and who consistently
\nsaid, God, you’ve let us out <\/p>\n

717
\n00:47:27,600 –> 00:47:31,300
\ninto the Wilderness to die
\nwithout recognizing. <\/p>\n

718
\n00:47:32,800 –> 00:47:37,300
\nThat God was pushing them to the
\nnext step of belief to the next <\/p>\n

719
\n00:47:37,300 –> 00:47:40,100
\nstep of belief.
\nHe was making them <\/p>\n

720
\n00:47:40,100 –> 00:47:44,200
\nuncomfortable.
\nTo teach them and that’s what <\/p>\n

721
\n00:47:44,200 –> 00:47:47,900
\nhe’s doing with Elijah.
\nAnd so in fact, as Elijah goes <\/p>\n

722
\n00:47:47,900 –> 00:47:50,800
\nto this Widow at Zarephath, I
\nwant to show you one final slide<\/p>\n

723
\n00:47:50,800 –> 00:47:54,500
\nhere as he goes to this Widow at
\nZarephath. <\/p>\n

724
\n00:47:56,800 –> 00:47:58,300
\nI’ll you know what?
\nI’ll show you this too just <\/p>\n

725
\n00:47:58,300 –> 00:48:02,500
\nbecause it’s a fun picture.
\nOkay, that’s not actually <\/p>\n

726
\n00:48:02,500 –> 00:48:04,600
\nrelevant.
\nThe idea is, you know, it’s to <\/p>\n

727
\n00:48:04,600 –> 00:48:07,900
\nlike flamingos because the
\nstories are the same too. <\/p>\n

728
\n00:48:08,200 –> 00:48:10,900
\nAnyway.
\nOkay, so the situations are <\/p>\n

729
\n00:48:10,900 –> 00:48:12,400
\nsimilar.
\nSo, let me let me show you, <\/p>\n

730
\n00:48:12,400 –> 00:48:14,400
\nright?
\nYou got Ravens and unclean bird.<\/p>\n

731
\n00:48:14,500 –> 00:48:17,500
\nLike the Widow who’s an unclean
\nbail where shipper Ravens are <\/p>\n

732
\n00:48:17,500 –> 00:48:20,300
\nscavengers and it just so
\nhappens that the Widow is <\/p>\n

733
\n00:48:20,300 –> 00:48:23,700
\ngathering sticks.
\nScavenging, when he finds her <\/p>\n

734
\n00:48:24,500 –> 00:48:28,700
\nand eating, its food is against
\nthe law, with the Ravens and <\/p>\n

735
\n00:48:28,700 –> 00:48:31,200
\neating the Widow’s food would
\nhave been against the law. <\/p>\n

736
\n00:48:31,600 –> 00:48:35,000
\nSame kind of thing.
\nAnd in fact, if we don’t, if you<\/p>\n

737
\n00:48:35,000 –> 00:48:37,800
\ndon’t feel like the parallel
\nstrong enough, it’s interesting <\/p>\n

738
\n00:48:38,100 –> 00:48:43,300
\nthat God even quotes himself in
\n1st Kings 17. <\/p>\n

739
\n00:48:43,700 –> 00:48:47,200
\nExact same words in the Hebrew.
\nHe says they’re about the brook <\/p>\n

740
\n00:48:47,200 –> 00:48:49,600
\nin verse 4.
\nYou will drink from the brook as<\/p>\n

741
\n00:48:49,600 –> 00:48:51,300
\nI have commanded the Ravens to
\nfeed you there. <\/p>\n

742
\n00:48:52,400 –> 00:48:55,300
\nAnd he says, in 1st Kings 17 9
\nrise, go to Zarephath, which <\/p>\n

743
\n00:48:55,300 –> 00:48:59,700
\nbelongs to side and dwell there.
\nBehold, I have commanded a widow<\/p>\n

744
\n00:48:59,700 –> 00:49:01,300
\nthere to feed you.
\nSame words. <\/p>\n

745
\n00:49:03,000 –> 00:49:06,000
\nAnd so God is taking Elijah and
\nsaying Elijah, did you learn the<\/p>\n

746
\n00:49:06,000 –> 00:49:09,200
\nlesson with the Ravens?
\nBecause now I’m going to put you<\/p>\n

747
\n00:49:09,900 –> 00:49:14,200
\nin the same situation, but
\nthere’s no escape from this one.<\/p>\n

748
\n00:49:15,200 –> 00:49:16,900
\nAnd you know what?
\nWe’re going to see and I think <\/p>\n

749
\n00:49:16,900 –> 00:49:20,400
\nthis is awesome.
\nThe big lesson that Elijah has <\/p>\n

750
\n00:49:20,400 –> 00:49:23,900
\nto learn his compassion,
\ncompassion, compassion, and God <\/p>\n

751
\n00:49:23,900 –> 00:49:25,800
\nbegins to teach it to him with
\nthe birds. <\/p>\n

752
\n00:49:27,200 –> 00:49:31,600
\nAnd yet, when Elijah sees the
\nsuffering that his drought has <\/p>\n

753
\n00:49:31,600 –> 00:49:36,600
\nbrought about when he sees the
\nsuffering of this woman, You <\/p>\n

754
\n00:49:36,600 –> 00:49:42,600
\nactually can tell Elijah begins
\nto be moved and as we’ll see in <\/p>\n

755
\n00:49:42,600 –> 00:49:49,900
\nthe next class, he actually
\npurposefully knowingly breaks, <\/p>\n

756
\n00:49:49,900 –> 00:49:54,400
\nthe law.
\nFor the sake of that woman and <\/p>\n

757
\n00:49:54,400 –> 00:49:59,300
\nit’s at that point that the
\nwidow woman turns around and <\/p>\n

758
\n00:49:59,300 –> 00:50:15,400
\nbegins to worship God,
