Class 3 from this series was used for GCT Episode 216.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:02,000 –> 00:00:04,900
\nIdlewild Bible School.
\nOur first period teacher is <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:04,900 –> 00:00:06,200
\nbrother.
\nJason Hensley. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:06,400 –> 00:00:10,800
\nHis General subject is Elijah.
\nA man of like passions today’s <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:10,800 –> 00:00:14,100
\ntopic is caramel and judgment
\nthe Jason. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:19,400 –> 00:00:29,200
\nI was I was ready for that.
\nAll right, if you didn’t do it, <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:29,200 –> 00:00:34,500
\nI was going to remind you.
\nSo Okay, well, good morning <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:34,500 –> 00:00:36,000
\nagain.
\nI hope you are doing well. <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:36,100 –> 00:00:41,100
\nIt’s good to see you here on day
\n5, and I am really looking <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:41,100 –> 00:00:45,600
\nforward to this class together
\nbecause for me, this was where <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:45,600 –> 00:00:48,900
\nmy big Paradigm Shift kind of
\nhappened with Elijah because <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:50,500 –> 00:00:54,200
\nLooking at the raising of the
\nWidow’s son as we did yesterday.<\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:54,600 –> 00:01:00,300
\nAnd seeing that scripture shows
\nthat essentially as the spirit <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:00,300 –> 00:01:05,300
\nof Elijah, this is the
\nemblematic event in Elijah’s <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:05,300 –> 00:01:09,600
\nlife, it made me wonder.
\nWell then what’s happening with <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:09,600 –> 00:01:12,600
\ncaramel?
\nYou know that I thought this was<\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:12,600 –> 00:01:15,500
\nthe big deal.
\nI thought this was the time that<\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:15,500 –> 00:01:18,900
\nElijah showed everybody who he
\nwas the man of fire and he <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:18,900 –> 00:01:22,500
\nshowed he proved Yahweh is God,
\nright? <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:23,300 –> 00:01:25,300
\nSo what is actually happening
\nhere and that’s what we’re going<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:25,300 –> 00:01:27,600
\nto spend some time on.
\nYou got a little bit of a hint <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:27,700 –> 00:01:31,100
\ncaramel and judgment.
\nAnd I think what we’re going to <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:31,100 –> 00:01:36,200
\nsee as we consider Elijah at the
\ntime of caramel is that he’s <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:36,200 –> 00:01:41,300
\nvery much like us by that.
\nI mean, That when he learns a <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:41,300 –> 00:01:44,500
\nlesson, it’s a few steps
\nforward. <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:45,100 –> 00:01:48,000
\nAnd a few steps backward.
\nFew steps forward few steps <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:48,000 –> 00:01:51,200
\nbackward, right?
\nAnd hopefully, there is a <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:51,500 –> 00:01:54,100
\nconstant progression although
\nit’s a lot slower. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:54,100 –> 00:01:57,100
\nI think than we’d often like it
\nto be and I think that’s what <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:57,100 –> 00:02:00,100
\nwe’re going to see with Elijah
\nthat God at Carmel, is going to <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:00,100 –> 00:02:04,200
\ngive him an opportunity.
\nTo apply what he learned with <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:04,200 –> 00:02:08,000
\nthe Widow.
\nAnd I’d like to suggest to you, <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:08,900 –> 00:02:13,200
\nthat Elijah actually misses it.
\nHe doesn’t realize, that’s <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:13,200 –> 00:02:15,500
\nwhat’s happening, and he doesn’t
\napply the lesson. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:15,500 –> 00:02:18,000
\nSo, let’s, let’s take a look and
\nsee what you think. <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:18,000 –> 00:02:20,000
\nAgain, remember at any time, if
\nyou disagree with me, that’s <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:20,000 –> 00:02:22,300
\ntotally fine.
\nYou can stand up and yell, I <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:22,308 –> 00:02:24,600
\ndisagree with you.
\nYou can tell me why if you don’t<\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:24,600 –> 00:02:30,200
\nhave a reason, why then that’s
\njust not a good idea to do so, <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:31,000 –> 00:02:33,200
\nbut I’m happy.
\nI’m happy for you to, you know, <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:33,500 –> 00:02:35,100
\ntell me why you think it’s
\nwrong. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:36,000 –> 00:02:37,700
\nThat we can, we can chat about
\nit. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:37,800 –> 00:02:42,300
\nAll right, so what we got here
\nis number 5 caramel and <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:42,300 –> 00:02:45,100
\njudgment.
\nThe main lesson is that God <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:45,100 –> 00:02:47,100
\ndecides when it is time for
\njudgment. <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:47,100 –> 00:02:51,800
\nAnd I think that is what is
\nreally being emphasized in this <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:51,800 –> 00:02:54,300
\nrecord.
\nIt wasn’t wrong for judgment to <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:54,300 –> 00:02:55,600
\ncome.
\nAnd this is what Elijah <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:56,200 –> 00:02:58,800
\nconsistently had to learn.
\nWasn’t wrong for judgment to <\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:58,800 –> 00:03:01,200
\ncome.
\nIt wasn’t wrong for the prophets<\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:01,200 –> 00:03:07,000
\nof Baal to be destroyed.
\nBut God is the one who supposed <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:07,000 –> 00:03:09,800
\nto decide when that happens not
\nus. <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:11,800 –> 00:03:13,900
\nSo that’s what we’re going to
\nsee today. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:14,100 –> 00:03:17,400
\nGod is the one who decides when
\nit is time for judgment. <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:17,400 –> 00:03:20,200
\nSo we’re going to look at the
\npreparation for this. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:20,300 –> 00:03:24,700
\nAnd by the preparation, I mean
\nthe meeting with Obadiah that’s <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:24,700 –> 00:03:28,800
\nsort of a funny little interlude
\nhere between the raising of the <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:28,808 –> 00:03:32,300
\nWidow’s son and Mount Carmel.
\nSo we’re gonna look at that. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:32,700 –> 00:03:35,600
\nThe preparation, the visit with
\nObadiah, then we’re going to <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:35,600 –> 00:03:41,400
\ntalk about the story or the
\nevents that happen as we as <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:41,600 –> 00:03:44,700
\nElijah sets up, Mount Carmel.
\nAnd then I want to present to <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:44,700 –> 00:03:47,100
\nyou some of the problems with
\nthis story. <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:47,500 –> 00:03:50,600
\nAgain we don’t we don’t often
\nthink about those but they’re <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:50,600 –> 00:03:53,400
\nvery much there and I think
\nbecause we’re so familiar with <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:53,400 –> 00:03:55,700
\nit.
\nWe don’t say wait a minute. <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:56,300 –> 00:04:00,900
\nThat’s really weird that he says
\nthat or that’s really not <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:00,900 –> 00:04:05,700
\nactually, okay, that he does
\nthat So we’re going to see <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:05,700 –> 00:04:11,000
\nvarious events that happen here
\nthat I think might spin this a <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:11,008 –> 00:04:13,500
\nlittle bit differently.
\nSo God decides when it’s time <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:13,500 –> 00:04:16,399
\nfor judgment and the question
\nis, why did God answer Elijah’s <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:16,399 –> 00:04:19,100
\nprayer now?
\nGive you a hint, you can <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:19,300 –> 00:04:25,800
\ncogitate on this one.
\nI don’t think God actually did. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:27,700 –> 00:04:30,000
\nThink about that.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:31,000 –> 00:04:33,000
\nNow he will just to make that
\nclear. <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:33,000 –> 00:04:36,200
\nGod always answers prayers.
\nBut I don’t think he answered it<\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:36,200 –> 00:04:38,400
\non caramel, but he will in the
\nfuture. <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:39,600 –> 00:04:42,800
\nOkay.
\nSo Ally just time with the <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:42,800 –> 00:04:47,400
\nWidow, had made a big difference
\nfor him and it was preparing him<\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:47,600 –> 00:04:50,200
\nfor what was coming next.
\nSo that was the idea. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:50,400 –> 00:04:53,300
\nGod was building on the lesson
\nof the Ravens is building on the<\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:53,300 –> 00:04:57,300
\nlessons of the Widow.
\nAnd now he has this big event in<\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:57,300 –> 00:04:59,900
\nfront of a lot of people where
\nthere’s going to be immense <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:59,900 –> 00:05:02,600
\npressure to go back to how he
\nwas before. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:03,500 –> 00:05:10,000
\nAnd is he going to generalize
\nthose lessons just to bring out <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:10,000 –> 00:05:13,600
\nsome proof here?
\nThat what was happening with the<\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:13,600 –> 00:05:17,200
\nWidow was really a preparation
\nor a foundation. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:17,400 –> 00:05:20,600
\nFor what was about to happen on
\nMount Carmel. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:21,600 –> 00:05:24,800
\nTake a look at this.
\nThe Widow is a widow. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:25,100 –> 00:05:29,300
\nObviously, Israel is described
\nas a widow or Jerusalem is <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:30,200 –> 00:05:32,000
\nDescribed as a widow.
\nNow I recognize that the time <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:32,000 –> 00:05:33,900
\nperiod is not quite the same.
\nOkay? <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:33,900 –> 00:05:36,200
\nSo I acknowledge that.
\nSo if that doesn’t convince you <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:36,207 –> 00:05:38,200
\nand you feel like that’s a
\nstretch cross that one off, it’s<\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:38,200 –> 00:05:41,500
\nfine.
\nBaal worship her. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:41,900 –> 00:05:43,100
\nWe know that the Widow is that
\nright? <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:43,100 –> 00:05:44,800
\nWe talked about that yesterday.
\nShe was a bottle. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:44,800 –> 00:05:47,300
\nAh Israel was Baal worshippers
\nat that time. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:48,200 –> 00:05:51,800
\nIt was a particular form of Baal
\nworship, so I don’t know if he’s<\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:51,800 –> 00:05:55,100
\nrecognized before when you’re
\nreading, there’s Baal peor, <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:55,400 –> 00:06:00,100
\nthere’s various different Bales
\nand this is the cydonia on bail <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:00,200 –> 00:06:02,400
\nthat we’re having an issue with
\nthe same thing with that woman, <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:02,400 –> 00:06:05,100
\nright?
\nShe lives in sidon and same <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:05,100 –> 00:06:07,100
\nthing with Israel, it’s the
\ncydonia on bail of, they’re <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:07,100 –> 00:06:11,000
\nhaving an issue with and Yet the
\nwoman hasn’t Age of Yahweh, <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:11,100 –> 00:06:13,000
\nright?
\nYahweh came and spoke to her. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:13,300 –> 00:06:19,000
\nShe, she is willing to
\nacknowledge when when Elijah <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:19,000 –> 00:06:21,900
\nsays as Yahweh, the god of
\nIsrael lives. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:22,000 –> 00:06:24,900
\nWhich is he has this knowledge
\nof Yahweh and so does Israel. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:24,900 –> 00:06:27,800
\nBut again, it’s not totally
\ncomplete, right? <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:27,800 –> 00:06:31,900
\nThere’s some holes there.
\nIt’s interesting that Elijah <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:32,000 –> 00:06:37,900
\nsays as Yahweh lives to the
\nWidow And he also says Yahweh <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:37,900 –> 00:06:43,500
\nlives to Israel First Kings 17.
\nOne, he references. <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:43,500 –> 00:06:46,100
\nThe god of Israel, to the Widow
\nonly other time. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:46,100 –> 00:06:49,500
\nHe does that, is in reference to
\nIsrael and 17:1. <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:50,300 –> 00:06:53,600
\nAnd Elijah is seen as
\nresponsible for her suffering. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:53,600 –> 00:06:54,600
\nRight?
\nThat’s what she says. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:54,900 –> 00:06:58,500
\nDid you come to cause to bring
\nmy sin to remembrance? <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:59,100 –> 00:07:02,200
\nSo she sees Elijah is
\nresponsible for her suffering. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:02,400 –> 00:07:07,900
\nAnd well, Israel sees Elijah is
\nWill you remember a have, is it?<\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:07,900 –> 00:07:11,500
\nYou owe troubler of Israel?
\nAnd I mean really, I like to <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:11,500 –> 00:07:14,200
\nkind of is responsible because
\nhe’s the one who said it’s not <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:14,200 –> 00:07:18,200
\ngoing to rain except by my word
\nso you can see these parallels <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:18,200 –> 00:07:21,600
\nhere.
\nSo that not even we’re not even <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:21,600 –> 00:07:24,200
\ntalking about caramel here,
\nwe’re just talking Israel that <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:24,200 –> 00:07:27,300
\nthis Widow this Gentile Widow.
\nIn fact, has a number of <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:27,300 –> 00:07:33,600
\nparallels to Israel so that God
\nis Not Just he’s not only <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:33,600 –> 00:07:36,100
\nteaching Elijah to care about
\npeople in general. <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:36,100 –> 00:07:39,500
\nGeneral.
\nBut it’s a I want you to <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:39,500 –> 00:07:45,700
\ngeneralize this to recognize
\nthat I care about Israel. <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:46,800 –> 00:07:49,300
\nThese people that you have
\nspurned that you’re saying they <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:49,300 –> 00:07:51,200
\ndeserve this.
\nDrought all of this. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:51,500 –> 00:07:55,100
\nYou have to recognize the way
\nyou feel about this Widow right <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:55,100 –> 00:07:57,000
\nnow.
\nThe way you cried out for her <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:57,000 –> 00:07:59,600
\nson.
\nThat’s how I feel about Israel. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:02,100 –> 00:08:06,800
\nOkay, so we have this parallels.
\nNow let’s take a look at this. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:08,500 –> 00:08:11,400
\nIt’s not just Widow and Israel
\nthat are parallel. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:11,400 –> 00:08:14,500
\nBut now what I want you to see
\nis a parallel between the Widow <\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:14,500 –> 00:08:16,900
\nand Mount Carmel.
\nWhat’s fascinating about this? <\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:16,900 –> 00:08:18,500
\nGod knows the end from the
\nbeginning, right? <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:19,300 –> 00:08:23,100
\nSo I think it’s amazing that he
\nstructures what Elijah goes <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:23,100 –> 00:08:29,000
\nthrough with the Widow knowing
\nwhat Elijah is going to create <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:29,000 –> 00:08:32,200
\non caramel.
\nSo that astonishing make, this <\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:32,200 –> 00:08:35,299
\nis how this is, how God works.
\nHe knows what Elijah is going to<\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:35,308 –> 00:08:39,100
\ntry and set up on Mount Carmel.
\nSo notice remember, God did not <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:39,100 –> 00:08:42,100
\ncommand Mount Carmel.
\nWhat was the only thing God told<\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:42,100 –> 00:08:46,300
\nElijah to say to Ahab, it’s
\ngoing to rain, right? <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:46,500 –> 00:08:50,500
\nIt was always all he was told to
\nsay God did not command caramel <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:51,700 –> 00:08:58,800
\nso, God knows though that car
\nwas going to happen, so he sets <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:58,800 –> 00:09:03,300
\nup the record of the Widow to
\nprepare, Elijah for what’s going<\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:03,300 –> 00:09:05,800
\nto happen on caramel so Widow
\nblames. <\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:05,800 –> 00:09:10,300
\nElijah that is where at Carmel
\nElijah is blamed by Ahab. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:10,300 –> 00:09:13,600
\nThe troubler of Israel.
\nThe word severe here is used, <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:13,600 –> 00:09:18,400
\nthe Widow is in a severe trial
\nfirst, king 1717 same word, the <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:18,408 –> 00:09:21,500
\ntrial or the drought is severe
\nat Carmel. <\/p>\n
155
\n00:09:21,600 –> 00:09:25,700
\nFirst Kings 18 to The Widow
\nneeds to choose is she going to <\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:25,700 –> 00:09:29,400
\nba ba la or she going to serve
\nYahweh? <\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:29,400 –> 00:09:33,200
\nShe’s got to choose first.
\nKing 1724, Israel needs to <\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:33,200 –> 00:09:35,200
\nchoose.
\nRemember what Elijah says how <\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:35,200 –> 00:09:39,500
\nlong halt ye between two
\nopinions right depending on what<\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:39,500 –> 00:09:41,100
\ntranslation you read, That’s the
\nKing James. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:42,400 –> 00:09:44,300
\nSo Israel needs to choose
\nbetween the two. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:44,500 –> 00:09:47,300
\nNow, in addition to that you
\njust have very similar language.<\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:47,400 –> 00:09:50,700
\nThe Widow is gathering wood.
\nThat’s your word eights in <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:50,700 –> 00:09:54,800
\nHebrew first king, 1710 and
\nElijah. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:54,800 –> 00:09:58,000
\nThe prophet to Baylor Gathering
\nwood First Kings 1823. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:58,500 –> 00:10:04,800
\nThe Widow is preparing a meal
\nfor Elijah first in 1713 and <\/p>\n
167
\n00:10:04,800 –> 00:10:08,100
\nElijah commands.
\nThe people to prepare the altars<\/p>\n
168
\n00:10:08,500 –> 00:10:10,300
\nFirst Kings 1823.
\nSame word. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:11,300 –> 00:10:14,300
\nThere is a jar used which if
\nyou’re looking at it in your <\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:14,300 –> 00:10:16,900
\nEnglish translations, it’s not
\ngoing to say jar your Hebrew <\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:16,900 –> 00:10:22,300
\nword cod, there are 35 37.
\nIt shows up in First Kings 17, <\/p>\n
172
\n00:10:22,300 –> 00:10:27,700
\n12, 14, and 16 and it is the
\nquote Cruse of oil. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:10:28,700 –> 00:10:32,400
\nIt’s that vessel that she puts
\nthe oil in and when Elijah says,<\/p>\n
174
\n00:10:32,500 –> 00:10:36,900
\npour out water on the altar,
\nthey bring these cruises or <\/p>\n
175
\n00:10:36,900 –> 00:10:40,400
\nthese barrels as with the King
\nJames says, these barrels full <\/p>\n
176
\n00:10:40,400 –> 00:10:44,100
\nof watered, same word.
\nSo what you can see is that the <\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:44,100 –> 00:10:47,700
\nrecord is specifically
\nparalleling these two events. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:48,400 –> 00:10:54,600
\nI think in order to allow us to
\nrecognize That everything Elijah<\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:54,600 –> 00:10:58,800
\nhad learned with the Widow.
\nWhen he stepped on Mount Carmel <\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:59,700 –> 00:11:04,200
\nhe was supposed to realize.
\nWait, this is the same thing <\/p>\n
181
\n00:11:05,100 –> 00:11:07,700
\nhere?
\nI am think about this here. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:11:07,700 –> 00:11:12,300
\nI am laughing at these.
\nPeople making fun of them. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:11:13,300 –> 00:11:17,600
\nGetting ready to kill them.
\nWhat you have done that with the<\/p>\n
184
\n00:11:17,600 –> 00:11:20,800
\nWidow?
\nWhat do you done that? <\/p>\n
185
\n00:11:20,800 –> 00:11:25,900
\nWhen the Widow’s son died?
\nAnd I think that was the lesson,<\/p>\n
186
\n00:11:26,700 –> 00:11:29,700
\nthat’s what Elijah was supposed
\nto realize that everything up to<\/p>\n
187
\n00:11:29,700 –> 00:11:33,900
\nthis point was teaching him
\nabout the power of relationship <\/p>\n
188
\n00:11:33,900 –> 00:11:37,100
\nand how much God cared about
\npeople and wanting to turn <\/p>\n
189
\n00:11:37,100 –> 00:11:39,300
\npeople, wanting to see people
\nchange. <\/p>\n
190
\n00:11:41,100 –> 00:11:44,000
\nAnd God was giving Elijah the
\nopportunity to connect. <\/p>\n
191
\n00:11:45,400 –> 00:11:47,500
\nBut Elijah goes back to how he
\nwas before. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:11:48,900 –> 00:11:53,500
\nAnd that’s what we do.
\nThis is this is how we act. <\/p>\n
193
\n00:11:53,500 –> 00:11:56,300
\nWe learn the lesson we get in a
\nnew situation and we forget to <\/p>\n
194
\n00:11:56,300 –> 00:12:02,100
\napply the lesson we go back.
\nBut we get there eventually and <\/p>\n
195
\n00:12:02,100 –> 00:12:09,800
\nso does Elijah to okay.
\nSo First Kings 18, one God, <\/p>\n
196
\n00:12:09,800 –> 00:12:12,000
\neventually comes to Elijah the
\nword of God comes to him. <\/p>\n
197
\n00:12:12,000 –> 00:12:14,500
\nAnd says it’s time for you to go
\ntell Ahab. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:12:14,500 –> 00:12:18,700
\nIt’s going to rain and remember,
\nElijah thinking that therefore <\/p>\n
199
\n00:12:18,700 –> 00:12:23,200
\nmeans what People are going to
\nconverse, so that’s what he’s <\/p>\n
200
\n00:12:23,200 –> 00:12:25,500
\nthinking, the people are going
\nto convert now. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:12:25,500 –> 00:12:29,500
\nWhat’s fascinating is, as he
\ngoes to Ahab to deliver this <\/p>\n
202
\n00:12:29,500 –> 00:12:35,500
\nmessage, he randomly, randomly
\nruns into Obadiah. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:12:35,900 –> 00:12:39,800
\nAnd I think when we have things
\nlike this, this funny little <\/p>\n
204
\n00:12:39,800 –> 00:12:41,600
\ninterlude.
\nYou look at it and you’re kind <\/p>\n
205
\n00:12:41,600 –> 00:12:45,800
\nof like why why is that there?
\nYou know, I thought we were <\/p>\n
206
\n00:12:45,800 –> 00:12:48,300
\ndoing the story of Elijah.
\nI thought we were talking about.<\/p>\n
207
\n00:12:48,400 –> 00:12:51,500
\nMount Carmel.
\nWhat’s the point of this? <\/p>\n
208
\n00:12:51,800 –> 00:12:55,400
\nI think we need to ask.
\nWhy did God want this little <\/p>\n
209
\n00:12:55,400 –> 00:12:59,100
\ninteraction in scripture?
\nWell, let’s just see what we <\/p>\n
210
\n00:12:59,100 –> 00:13:02,600
\nnotice as we read through it,
\nparticularly in relation to the <\/p>\n
211
\n00:13:02,600 –> 00:13:08,500
\nlesson Elijah’s, just learned
\nthe lesson of relationship, so <\/p>\n
212
\n00:13:08,500 –> 00:13:10,600
\nlet’s see.
\nSo Elijah went to show himself <\/p>\n
213
\n00:13:10,600 –> 00:13:13,600
\nto Ahab.
\nNow, the famine was severe in <\/p>\n
214
\n00:13:13,600 –> 00:13:16,200
\nSamaria.
\nA have called Obadiah who was <\/p>\n
215
\n00:13:16,200 –> 00:13:20,300
\nover the household now, Obadiah
\nfeared, the Lord greatly. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:13:21,400 –> 00:13:24,300
\nAnd when Jezebel cut off the
\nprophets of the Lord, Obadiah <\/p>\n
217
\n00:13:24,300 –> 00:13:29,600
\ntook a hundred prophets and hid
\nthem by 50s in a cave and fed <\/p>\n
218
\n00:13:29,600 –> 00:13:33,300
\nthem with bread and water.
\nThey have said to Obadiah, go <\/p>\n
219
\n00:13:33,300 –> 00:13:35,400
\nthrough the land, to all the
\nSprings of water into all the <\/p>\n
220
\n00:13:35,400 –> 00:13:38,600
\nvalleys, perhaps we may find
\ngrass and save the horses and <\/p>\n
221
\n00:13:38,600 –> 00:13:42,300
\nmules alive, and not lose some
\nof the animals. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:13:42,700 –> 00:13:44,900
\nSo they divided the land between
\nthem to pass through it. <\/p>\n
223
\n00:13:44,900 –> 00:13:48,000
\nThey have went in One Direction
\nby himself and Obadiah went in <\/p>\n
224
\n00:13:48,008 –> 00:13:53,000
\nanother Direction by himself
\nnow, did you notice how Obadiah <\/p>\n
225
\n00:13:53,000 –> 00:13:58,700
\nis described That’s a pretty
\ngood description. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:13:59,900 –> 00:14:05,000
\nAnd I think any of us would feel
\npretty good if that was how God <\/p>\n
227
\n00:14:05,000 –> 00:14:09,900
\ndecides to describe us.
\nSo this is the description now I<\/p>\n
228
\n00:14:09,900 –> 00:14:13,400
\ndon’t know if you noticed this.
\nI’m really into charts in this <\/p>\n
229
\n00:14:13,400 –> 00:14:16,700
\nclass so I don’t know if you I
\ndon’t know if you noticed this <\/p>\n
230
\n00:14:17,500 –> 00:14:22,200
\nbut The way Obadiah is described
\nas actually the same way, the <\/p>\n
231
\n00:14:22,200 –> 00:14:27,300
\nWidow is described.
\nSo we’re specifically told that <\/p>\n
232
\n00:14:27,300 –> 00:14:29,800
\nthe famine was severe.
\nSame thing. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:14:30,000 –> 00:14:33,000
\nWe’re told it’s during the
\nfamine, the Widow is searching <\/p>\n
234
\n00:14:33,000 –> 00:14:34,800
\nfor sticks.
\nShe’s going and Gathering <\/p>\n
235
\n00:14:34,800 –> 00:14:36,500
\nsticks.
\nObadiah searching for grass. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:14:37,000 –> 00:14:39,800
\nThe Widow is about to die and
\nObadiah is also about to die. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:14:39,800 –> 00:14:44,200
\nDo you remember why?
\nBecause Elijah shows up and says<\/p>\n
238
\n00:14:45,200 –> 00:14:48,100
\ngo tell a have that I’m here.
\nAnd over Daya says well great <\/p>\n
239
\n00:14:48,200 –> 00:14:51,400
\nthat’s the end of my life now
\nbecause you know I’m going to <\/p>\n
240
\n00:14:51,408 –> 00:14:53,600
\ntell him that you’re here and
\nthen you’re not going to be here<\/p>\n
241
\n00:14:53,600 –> 00:14:57,700
\nand then you know I’m in trouble
\nthey actually say the same thing<\/p>\n
242
\n00:14:57,900 –> 00:14:59,600
\nor Elijah says the same thing to
\nthem. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:14:59,600 –> 00:15:03,100
\nSorry Elijah says the same thing
\nas Yahweh lives and as Yahweh <\/p>\n
244
\n00:15:03,100 –> 00:15:06,500
\nlives, there’s this hesitation
\nthere and Elijah’s trying to <\/p>\n
245
\n00:15:06,500 –> 00:15:09,200
\nconvince them by saying as
\nYahweh lives, it’s going to be <\/p>\n
246
\n00:15:09,200 –> 00:15:12,800
\nokay.
\nShe follows Elijah’s directions.<\/p>\n
247
\n00:15:12,800 –> 00:15:15,200
\nSo does Obadiah, even though
\nthey probably wouldn’t have <\/p>\n
248
\n00:15:15,200 –> 00:15:19,600
\nwanted to and then provides
\nbread for profit The Profit, <\/p>\n
249
\n00:15:19,600 –> 00:15:22,300
\nthat’s what the Widow does.
\nAnd so does Obadiah provides <\/p>\n
250
\n00:15:22,300 –> 00:15:25,400
\nbread for profits.
\nSo, once again, you can see the <\/p>\n
251
\n00:15:25,400 –> 00:15:27,200
\nrecord is structured in such a
\nway. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:15:27,500 –> 00:15:30,500
\nSo, as to say, what are you
\ngoing to do? <\/p>\n
253
\n00:15:30,500 –> 00:15:33,800
\nElijah now’s your chance.
\nSo I think that’s why the story <\/p>\n
254
\n00:15:33,800 –> 00:15:36,800
\nof Obadiah is here because not
\nonly are we being prepped for <\/p>\n
255
\n00:15:36,808 –> 00:15:39,400
\nMount Carmel.
\nBut what you can see is God is <\/p>\n
256
\n00:15:39,400 –> 00:15:43,700
\ngiving him like, Stair steps.
\nYou know, it’s like okay. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:15:44,700 –> 00:15:46,800
\nI know you’ve had this rough
\nrelationship with Israel. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:15:47,700 –> 00:15:50,300
\nSo I’ll give you one faithful
\nIsraelite. <\/p>\n
259
\n00:15:51,300 –> 00:15:54,600
\nHow will you treat him?
\nAnd then he gets Mount Carmel. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:15:54,800 –> 00:15:58,200
\nSo it’s this consistent.
\nWhat are you going to do in this<\/p>\n
261
\n00:15:58,200 –> 00:15:59,800
\nsituation?
\nWhat do you want to do in this <\/p>\n
262
\n00:15:59,800 –> 00:16:01,800
\nsituation?
\nCan you generalize these <\/p>\n
263
\n00:16:01,800 –> 00:16:07,400
\nlessons?
\nOkay, now, just to prompt him <\/p>\n
264
\n00:16:07,400 –> 00:16:10,800
\neven further.
\nI think look at obadiah’s <\/p>\n
265
\n00:16:10,800 –> 00:16:14,800
\ngreeting.
\nAnd as Ovid, I was on the way, <\/p>\n
266
\n00:16:14,800 –> 00:16:18,100
\nbehold, Elijah met him.
\nObadiah recognized him and fell <\/p>\n
267
\n00:16:18,100 –> 00:16:21,100
\non his face and said, is it you
\nmy lord? <\/p>\n
268
\n00:16:21,100 –> 00:16:24,500
\nElijah.
\nBecause of my Lord, now quick <\/p>\n
269
\n00:16:24,500 –> 00:16:28,500
\nquestion, important trivia.
\nThere’s one other person who has<\/p>\n
270
\n00:16:28,500 –> 00:16:32,000
\nthe relationship with Elijah to
\ncall him my Lord. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:16:32,000 –> 00:16:35,700
\nAnyone know who it is?
\nElijah. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:16:35,700 –> 00:16:40,200
\nYes it is Elijah.
\nSo Elijah is repeatedly referred<\/p>\n
273
\n00:16:40,200 –> 00:16:44,400
\nto as Elijah’s Lord.
\nSo it’s interesting then that <\/p>\n
274
\n00:16:44,400 –> 00:16:46,900
\nthat’s what Obadiah calls him.
\nMy Lord Elijah. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:16:46,900 –> 00:16:49,400
\nSo I think this is indicating
\nright? <\/p>\n
276
\n00:16:49,900 –> 00:16:54,300
\nA very big respect and perhaps
\neven some kind of Prior <\/p>\n
277
\n00:16:54,300 –> 00:16:56,100
\nrelationship or something along
\nthose lines. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:16:57,400 –> 00:17:00,600
\nBut it’s interesting then how
\nElijah response. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:17:00,800 –> 00:17:03,600
\nSo Obadiah says, is that you my
\nlord Elijah. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:17:03,700 –> 00:17:09,700
\nAnd what as Elijah Say he
\nanswered him, it’s I Go tell <\/p>\n
281
\n00:17:09,700 –> 00:17:14,700
\nyour lord behold Elijah’s here.
\nNow that is true, right? <\/p>\n
282
\n00:17:14,800 –> 00:17:19,400
\nObadiah does work in a hats
\nhousehold and in fact, in verse <\/p>\n
283
\n00:17:19,400 –> 00:17:21,900
\n10, he does refer to Ahab as his
\nLord. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:17:22,800 –> 00:17:28,600
\nSo, what you can see is again,
\nhow obadiah’s is representative <\/p>\n
285
\n00:17:28,600 –> 00:17:31,400
\nhere of Israel?
\nHe’s got this faithfulness to <\/p>\n
286
\n00:17:31,400 –> 00:17:33,400
\nGod.
\nAnd yet, he’s still living and <\/p>\n
287
\n00:17:33,400 –> 00:17:35,400
\nworking.
\nWithin the house of Ahab, and <\/p>\n
288
\n00:17:35,400 –> 00:17:38,700
\ntrying to trying to figure out,
\nhow does he make this work? <\/p>\n
289
\n00:17:40,100 –> 00:17:46,000
\nBut Elijah won’t have it.
\nHe can’t see past it, but you <\/p>\n
290
\n00:17:46,000 –> 00:17:50,100
\nremember yesterday.
\nHe was able to see past the by <\/p>\n
291
\n00:17:50,100 –> 00:17:54,000
\nAllah, the fact that this woman
\nwas a pagan and yet he can’t see<\/p>\n
292
\n00:17:54,000 –> 00:17:58,600
\npast it with Obadiah.
\nAnd so this is what we are <\/p>\n
293
\n00:17:58,600 –> 00:18:02,500
\nreally going to be seeing today
\nthat when we Embrace this <\/p>\n
294
\n00:18:02,500 –> 00:18:09,300
\nattitude of judgment, it’s
\nfascinating because when we <\/p>\n
295
\n00:18:09,308 –> 00:18:11,000
\nstart to judge, will say things
\nlike. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:18:11,000 –> 00:18:14,800
\nWell, you have to be consistent.
\nConsistency is so important. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:18:15,200 –> 00:18:18,500
\nYou can’t ever let up, you know,
\nthis is how we start to think <\/p>\n
298
\n00:18:18,500 –> 00:18:20,700
\nwhen we judge and yet, you know
\nwhat we do. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:18:21,900 –> 00:18:25,400
\nOh, well, you know, I’ll I’ll
\nbreak the rules this time <\/p>\n
300
\n00:18:25,400 –> 00:18:27,500
\nbecause I have a good reason,
\nright? <\/p>\n
301
\n00:18:28,600 –> 00:18:31,500
\nAnd you know, I won’t be
\nconsistent this time because of <\/p>\n
302
\n00:18:31,500 –> 00:18:35,600
\nthis and this and this we give
\nourselves Mercy when we judge, <\/p>\n
303
\n00:18:36,300 –> 00:18:37,700
\nbut we never give it to anyone
\nelse. <\/p>\n
304
\n00:18:38,400 –> 00:18:41,000
\nI mean, look at this.
\nElijah is totally hammering, <\/p>\n
305
\n00:18:41,000 –> 00:18:43,500
\nObadiah.
\nAnd yet I couldn’t somebody have<\/p>\n
306
\n00:18:43,500 –> 00:18:47,200
\nsaid, Elijah haven’t you just
\nbeen like living in sidon for a <\/p>\n
307
\n00:18:47,200 –> 00:18:50,100
\nyear like, you know, that’s kind
\nof weird, right? <\/p>\n
308
\n00:18:50,100 –> 00:18:54,000
\nLike and you’ve been eating from
\nIn birds, like you got some <\/p>\n
309
\n00:18:54,000 –> 00:18:58,700
\nproblems going on here, too.
\nBut Elijah just, he won’t even <\/p>\n
310
\n00:18:58,700 –> 00:19:00,000
\nhave it.
\nHe won’t say no. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:19:00,600 –> 00:19:05,200
\nIn his mind, you’re either here
\nor you’re here and that’s it. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:19:07,100 –> 00:19:10,800
\nSo, you can’t see past it.
\nSo the record then makes the <\/p>\n
313
\n00:19:10,800 –> 00:19:12,300
\nparallel with the Widow
\nstronger. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:19:12,700 –> 00:19:14,900
\nRight?
\nObadiah says, do you understand <\/p>\n
315
\n00:19:14,900 –> 00:19:20,500
\nthat I am about to die?
\nI’m about to die because of you,<\/p>\n
316
\n00:19:20,800 –> 00:19:23,900
\nright?
\nAnd this is the same thing that <\/p>\n
317
\n00:19:23,900 –> 00:19:27,400
\nwe do.
\nIt said, So this was like God, <\/p>\n
318
\n00:19:27,400 –> 00:19:30,100
\nyou know, giving big flashing
\nlights, like are you getting <\/p>\n
319
\n00:19:30,100 –> 00:19:31,700
\nthis Elijah?
\nLike I’m giving you the <\/p>\n
320
\n00:19:31,700 –> 00:19:34,900
\nopportunity here.
\nAre you going to recognize <\/p>\n
321
\n00:19:34,900 –> 00:19:38,300
\nwhat’s going on?
\nHe does not though. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:19:40,000 –> 00:19:42,700
\nSo after Obadiah, explains his
\nfaithfulness, Elijah, totally <\/p>\n
323
\n00:19:42,700 –> 00:19:47,500
\nignores it.
\nObadiah says, you know, maybe <\/p>\n
324
\n00:19:47,500 –> 00:19:50,100
\nyou didn’t hear Elijah, you
\nknow, because it was secret, <\/p>\n
325
\n00:19:50,900 –> 00:19:53,600
\nmaybe you didn’t hear about it.
\nBut there were a hundred <\/p>\n
326
\n00:19:53,600 –> 00:19:55,800
\nprophets.
\nJezebel was going to kill them. <\/p>\n
327
\n00:19:56,200 –> 00:19:59,300
\nI saved them.
\nDo you think it’s easy? <\/p>\n
328
\n00:19:59,400 –> 00:20:03,300
\nYou know, to like steal bread
\nout of the palace for 100 <\/p>\n
329
\n00:20:03,300 –> 00:20:05,300
\npeople?
\nIt’s a drought. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:20:05,400 –> 00:20:08,400
\nI got water for all of them.
\nI am not. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:20:10,400 –> 00:20:12,300
\nThe only word I can think of is
\nobsequious. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:20:12,300 –> 00:20:17,300
\nSorry, I am not this obsequious
\nservant of Ahab, okay. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:20:17,400 –> 00:20:20,800
\nAnyway it’s sorry I would have
\nused something else but nothing <\/p>\n
334
\n00:20:20,800 –> 00:20:24,200
\ncame so so, yeah.
\nYou know, that’s what he’s <\/p>\n
335
\n00:20:24,200 –> 00:20:26,300
\ntrying to say.
\nLike, I’m not, I’m not this guy <\/p>\n
336
\n00:20:26,300 –> 00:20:30,300
\nthat you keep portraying me as
\nand yet, do you remember <\/p>\n
337
\n00:20:30,300 –> 00:20:33,500
\nElijah’s answer?
\nElijah just says yeah, <\/p>\n
338
\n00:20:33,800 –> 00:20:35,200
\nobadiah’s.
\nLike look I’ve done all these <\/p>\n
339
\n00:20:35,200 –> 00:20:37,500
\ngood things.
\nI’m actually in faithful and I <\/p>\n
340
\n00:20:37,500 –> 00:20:39,600
\njust like, yeah, go tell.
\nYour Lord that I’m here. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:20:40,400 –> 00:20:42,400
\nIn other words.
\nYeah, I don’t care if you die. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:20:44,300 –> 00:20:46,000
\nRight over the I just said I’m
\ngonna die. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:20:46,000 –> 00:20:48,800
\nIf I do this and Elijah’s like
\nyeah, well go get it over with <\/p>\n
344
\n00:20:50,200 –> 00:20:53,200
\nIt’s this is, this is rough,
\nright? <\/p>\n
345
\n00:20:53,200 –> 00:20:56,200
\nCan you imagine Obadiah walking
\nback and being like, wow, I <\/p>\n
346
\n00:20:56,700 –> 00:21:01,400
\ndidn’t think he was like that,
\nyou know, it’s it’s pretty bad. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:21:01,400 –> 00:21:04,800
\nAnd in fact, maybe Obadiah was
\nthere at Mount Carmel and he <\/p>\n
348
\n00:21:04,800 –> 00:21:09,900
\nheard this first Kings 1822.
\nI don’t think we usually realize<\/p>\n
349
\n00:21:10,700 –> 00:21:16,100
\nthat Elijah said First Kings 18
\n22 because he says it twice <\/p>\n
350
\n00:21:16,100 –> 00:21:21,500
\nlater at Mount Sinai.
\nWhen he says, Everyone has <\/p>\n
351
\n00:21:21,500 –> 00:21:25,200
\nforsaken you and I only I am
\nleft. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:21:27,000 –> 00:21:30,800
\nHe says that on caramel and
\nwho’s probably standing there, <\/p>\n
353
\n00:21:31,400 –> 00:21:36,400
\nObadiah who’s standing there and
\nthinking, no, actually I hit 100<\/p>\n
354
\n00:21:36,400 –> 00:21:40,800
\nof them and me, right?
\nAnd Elijah’s like I’m the only <\/p>\n
355
\n00:21:40,800 –> 00:21:44,800
\none.
\nSo you can just imagine how <\/p>\n
356
\n00:21:44,800 –> 00:21:48,000
\nObadiah feels right?
\nIt’s this is like, you know, <\/p>\n
357
\n00:21:48,000 –> 00:21:53,700
\ntotal hero deflation, okay,
\nnever mind that Elijah himself <\/p>\n
358
\n00:21:53,700 –> 00:21:56,200
\nwas inconsistent and that’s the
\nproblem, right? <\/p>\n
359
\n00:21:56,200 –> 00:21:59,400
\nWe get all bent on consistency
\nand I’m not saying consistencies<\/p>\n
360
\n00:21:59,400 –> 00:22:00,800
\nbad, right?
\nIt’s good. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:22:00,900 –> 00:22:04,300
\nIt’s a good thing to aim for,
\nbut as humans, we just aren’t <\/p>\n
362
\n00:22:04,300 –> 00:22:07,200
\nconsistent.
\nAnd I think that’s what we have <\/p>\n
363
\n00:22:07,200 –> 00:22:09,900
\nto recognize.
\nWe can’t we can’t judge people. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:22:10,300 –> 00:22:13,900
\nWe can’t judge their character
\nfor being inconsistent because <\/p>\n
365
\n00:22:13,900 –> 00:22:17,100
\nthat’s what we are to.
\nAnd so this is Elijah the guy <\/p>\n
366
\n00:22:17,100 –> 00:22:20,700
\nwho ate food from unclean birds
\nand just lay it on a dead body. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:22:22,700 –> 00:22:24,300
\nWho’s out here.
\nCriticizing Obadiah. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:22:27,000 –> 00:22:29,700
\nBut scripture says that Obadiah
\nwas righteous. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:22:30,800 –> 00:22:34,200
\nObadiah feared, Yahweh greatly.
\nAnd in fact, it’s almost like <\/p>\n
370
\n00:22:34,400 –> 00:22:36,800
\nlike there’s this emphasis,
\nbecause if you read it in the <\/p>\n
371
\n00:22:36,808 –> 00:22:39,600
\nHebrew, right?
\nYou get to read obadiah’s name <\/p>\n
372
\n00:22:40,500 –> 00:22:44,000
\nand his name means servant of
\nYahweh. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:22:45,600 –> 00:22:48,600
\nSo it’s like scripture is
\nsaying, you know, we don’t want <\/p>\n
374
\n00:22:48,600 –> 00:22:49,600
\nyou to miss this.
\nHere. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:22:49,900 –> 00:22:53,300
\nThis guy is God’s servant, he’s
\na good guy. <\/p>\n
376
\n00:22:53,700 –> 00:22:58,000
\nHis name means servant of
\nYahweh, but this is what this <\/p>\n
377
\n00:22:58,000 –> 00:23:00,100
\nis, what living by law does to
\nus. <\/p>\n
378
\n00:23:00,800 –> 00:23:05,700
\nIt’s all about judgment.
\nMatthew 7, verses 1 to 5 the <\/p>\n
379
\n00:23:05,700 –> 00:23:08,000
\nparable of the mountain.
\nThe beam I don’t know if you’ve <\/p>\n
380
\n00:23:08,000 –> 00:23:12,200
\never wondered what that Parable,
\nwhy Jesus says it’s a beam in <\/p>\n
381
\n00:23:12,200 –> 00:23:16,000
\nyour eye, right, you know,
\ncouldn’t it have been couldn’t <\/p>\n
382
\n00:23:16,000 –> 00:23:19,800
\nhave said a beam in your face
\nor, you know, a beam through <\/p>\n
383
\n00:23:19,800 –> 00:23:22,200
\nyour hand or something like
\nthat, but it specifically in <\/p>\n
384
\n00:23:22,200 –> 00:23:25,300
\nyour eye.
\nMeaning, you can’t see. <\/p>\n
385
\n00:23:26,500 –> 00:23:29,200
\nHey, when you start to judge,
\nyou can’t see it all. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:23:29,700 –> 00:23:32,200
\nAnd in fact the whole thing’s
\nkind of comical, I’ll just say <\/p>\n
387
\n00:23:32,200 –> 00:23:34,600
\nthis real quick.
\nYou’re weird there in the Greek <\/p>\n
388
\n00:23:34,600 –> 00:23:38,000
\nis do cos and it means if you
\nlook it up in the Septuagint, <\/p>\n
389
\n00:23:38,000 –> 00:23:42,100
\nit’s often used in reference to
\nthe beam, used to build a roof. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:23:43,000 –> 00:23:45,700
\nThink we often think of it, like
\na two-by-four just they didn’t <\/p>\n
391
\n00:23:45,700 –> 00:23:47,500
\nhave them.
\nSo you know that’s an important <\/p>\n
392
\n00:23:47,500 –> 00:23:50,700
\nthing to think about But it was
\na roof beam, right? <\/p>\n
393
\n00:23:50,700 –> 00:23:53,100
\nSo you like look up here and you
\nlook at the beams that are used <\/p>\n
394
\n00:23:53,100 –> 00:23:57,000
\nin, holding up a roof.
\nThose are really big, right? <\/p>\n
395
\n00:23:57,200 –> 00:23:59,700
\nThis is the kind of thing that
\nyou wouldn’t be walking around. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:23:59,700 –> 00:24:02,200
\nLike, oh, you know, I got this
\nthing sticking out of my eye, <\/p>\n
397
\n00:24:02,300 –> 00:24:04,700
\nright?
\nYou’d be down here like this and<\/p>\n
398
\n00:24:04,700 –> 00:24:06,900
\nyou can’t lift up your head at.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:24:07,000 –> 00:24:10,600
\nSo the whole thing in the
\nparable is Jesus is saying this <\/p>\n
400
\n00:24:10,600 –> 00:24:13,200
\nis totally ridiculous, because
\nthere’s absolutely no way you <\/p>\n
401
\n00:24:13,200 –> 00:24:17,000
\ncan see it’s impossible.
\nNot only do you have a big tree <\/p>\n
402
\n00:24:17,000 –> 00:24:20,700
\ncoming out of your head.
\nBut like your head is stuck on <\/p>\n
403
\n00:24:20,700 –> 00:24:23,300
\nthe ground.
\nSo you’re like this hey I saw <\/p>\n
404
\n00:24:23,300 –> 00:24:27,000
\nyou have something in your eye,
\ncome here, I’ll just get it out <\/p>\n
405
\n00:24:27,500 –> 00:24:29,700
\nright.
\nLike it doesn’t even, it’s <\/p>\n
406
\n00:24:29,700 –> 00:24:33,000
\ntotally outrageous.
\nAnd I don’t think we recognize <\/p>\n
407
\n00:24:33,200 –> 00:24:36,100
\nthat that is what Jesus is
\nbringing out in this Parable. <\/p>\n
408
\n00:24:36,300 –> 00:24:41,000
\nThat this is what judging this
\nis, what living by law does to <\/p>\n
409
\n00:24:41,000 –> 00:24:43,700
\nus.
\nIt makes us completely <\/p>\n
410
\n00:24:43,700 –> 00:24:45,500
\nridiculous.
\nWe look at other people and we <\/p>\n
411
\n00:24:45,500 –> 00:24:47,800
\nsay, oh, don’t worry, I figured
\nout who you are based on your <\/p>\n
412
\n00:24:47,800 –> 00:24:49,800
\nactions.
\nBut I don’t want God to do that <\/p>\n
413
\n00:24:49,800 –> 00:24:53,200
\nfor me.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:24:54,900 –> 00:24:58,300
\nSo Elijah is going to be all
\nabout judgment here. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:24:58,500 –> 00:25:01,500
\nSo gathers, Israel to Mount
\nCarmel, just sort of interesting<\/p>\n
416
\n00:25:02,300 –> 00:25:04,200
\nbecause there’s there’s your
\nword in the Hebrew. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:25:04,400 –> 00:25:09,300
\nIt’s Carmel.
\nSo basically caramel and it’s <\/p>\n
418
\n00:25:09,300 –> 00:25:12,500
\ntypically connected to
\nfruitfulness, it’s translated in<\/p>\n
419
\n00:25:12,500 –> 00:25:15,800
\nLeviticus 214 translated as
\nfresh ears. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:25:16,700 –> 00:25:22,100
\nThat would be like you know,
\nplants not years, Isaiah 3215. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:25:22,100 –> 00:25:26,300
\nA fruitful field is how its
\ntranslated At their Micah 7:14, <\/p>\n
422
\n00:25:26,300 –> 00:25:31,400
\nit’s translated as Garden land,
\nwhich is interesting because by <\/p>\n
423
\n00:25:31,400 –> 00:25:35,200
\ncontrast, you’ll notice here in
\nAmos 1 verse 2. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:25:35,600 –> 00:25:38,500
\nYou have the top of caramel
\nwithering. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:25:40,000 –> 00:25:44,700
\nWhen judgment comes.
\nSo you have this, this idea of <\/p>\n
426
\n00:25:44,700 –> 00:25:51,100
\nthis beautiful verdant Hill this
\nmountain and yet when judgment <\/p>\n
427
\n00:25:51,100 –> 00:25:55,700
\nis brought to it, it Withers up
\nwhich I think is going to be <\/p>\n
428
\n00:25:55,700 –> 00:25:58,800
\nagain a picture of what’s about
\nto happen. <\/p>\n
429
\n00:26:00,000 –> 00:26:01,800
\nHere’s Elijah taking the people
\nto Carmel. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:26:01,900 –> 00:26:04,500
\nHe thinks he’s going to fix
\neverything and instead. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:26:05,700 –> 00:26:07,200
\nIt’s actually just makes the
\nproblem worse. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:26:09,700 –> 00:26:12,600
\nSo here’s what happens.
\nAnd again this is, It’s just <\/p>\n
433
\n00:26:12,600 –> 00:26:15,100
\nfascinating to see the way that
\nhe approaches this. <\/p>\n
434
\n00:26:15,100 –> 00:26:16,200
\nHere’s this black-and-white
\nmanner. <\/p>\n
435
\n00:26:16,200 –> 00:26:19,300
\nAgain, he’s doing all this off.
\nThe cuff, right? <\/p>\n
436
\n00:26:19,500 –> 00:26:21,800
\nThere was no the word of Yahweh
\ncame to him and told him to do <\/p>\n
437
\n00:26:21,800 –> 00:26:24,000
\nthis.
\nHe was only told to say Make It <\/p>\n
438
\n00:26:24,000 –> 00:26:26,800
\nRain, so here he comes.
\nHe says all right. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:26:26,800 –> 00:26:30,900
\nHere’s what we’re going to do.
\nIf Yahweh is God follow him, but<\/p>\n
440
\n00:26:30,900 –> 00:26:35,100
\nif Baal then follow him.
\nNow, you will notice that one of<\/p>\n
441
\n00:26:35,100 –> 00:26:38,300
\nthe fascinating things with
\nElijah is that most people don’t<\/p>\n
442
\n00:26:38,300 –> 00:26:42,600
\nrespond to him.
\nThe people did not answer him a <\/p>\n
443
\n00:26:42,608 –> 00:26:45,500
\nword.
\nSo he says this, here’s what <\/p>\n
444
\n00:26:45,500 –> 00:26:48,200
\nwe’re going to do and the people
\njust stare at him, right? <\/p>\n
445
\n00:26:49,100 –> 00:26:51,400
\nIt’s the kind of thing where if
\nyou were watching this, like, in<\/p>\n
446
\n00:26:51,400 –> 00:26:54,800
\na movie, you know, you’re going
\nto hear crickets and Elijah’s <\/p>\n
447
\n00:26:54,800 –> 00:26:58,100
\nlike.
\nOkay then, you know, let’s let’s<\/p>\n
448
\n00:26:58,100 –> 00:27:00,500
\ngo along and do this.
\nSo, it’s important. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:27:00,500 –> 00:27:04,500
\nI think to recognize that again,
\nbecause this sentence here, the <\/p>\n
450
\n00:27:04,500 –> 00:27:08,400
\npeople did not answer.
\nI think is indicative of the <\/p>\n
451
\n00:27:08,400 –> 00:27:10,800
\nfact that this is what is
\nconstantly happening. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:27:10,800 –> 00:27:12,600
\nOh, but He has like, hey,
\nElijah. <\/p>\n
453
\n00:27:12,600 –> 00:27:14,900
\nI saved people and Elijah says.
\nYeah. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:27:14,900 –> 00:27:17,300
\nWhy don’t you go tell Ahab so
\nthat he can kill you? <\/p>\n
455
\n00:27:17,400 –> 00:27:19,900
\nAnd then, you know, we can all
\nbe fine with this and obadiah’s <\/p>\n
456
\n00:27:19,900 –> 00:27:23,400
\njust like Right.
\nAnd he leaves. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:27:23,700 –> 00:27:25,300
\nHe doesn’t say anything in
\nresponse. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:27:25,800 –> 00:27:28,400
\nRight Ahab?
\nElijah meets with him. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:27:28,400 –> 00:27:31,900
\nAnd says, let’s meet on the top
\nof caramel. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:27:32,000 –> 00:27:35,100
\nAnd Ahab says, oh, you’re the
\ntrouble of Israel and Elijah’s <\/p>\n
461
\n00:27:35,100 –> 00:27:38,400
\nlike no, you are.
\nAnd it has like, okay, whatever.<\/p>\n
462
\n00:27:39,400 –> 00:27:41,200
\nRight, like he doesn’t, he
\ndoesn’t say anything back. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:27:41,200 –> 00:27:44,900
\nThe people don’t say anything in
\nverse 24, fine, verse 21. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:27:45,200 –> 00:27:47,500
\nFinally in verse 24.
\nElijah says, here’s what we’re <\/p>\n
465
\n00:27:47,500 –> 00:27:49,200
\ngoing to do.
\nHere’s the plan, what do you <\/p>\n
466
\n00:27:49,200 –> 00:27:50,900
\nthink?
\nAnd the people are like, yeah, <\/p>\n
467
\n00:27:50,900 –> 00:27:53,400
\nsounds good.
\nThat’s all they say. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:27:53,900 –> 00:27:57,500
\nAnd I think that this is so
\nimportant for us to recognize <\/p>\n
469
\n00:27:57,700 –> 00:28:00,700
\nthat when we have this attitude,
\nthis is what happens, you know, <\/p>\n
470
\n00:28:00,700 –> 00:28:05,500
\nwhen we when we recognize that,
\nhey, I’ve just condemn this <\/p>\n
471
\n00:28:05,500 –> 00:28:07,000
\nperson and, you know, I’m
\nwaiting for them to say <\/p>\n
472
\n00:28:07,000 –> 00:28:09,600
\nsomething back and they just
\nthey don’t, or they just walk <\/p>\n
473
\n00:28:09,600 –> 00:28:12,500
\naway.
\nWe got to realize, oh, wait a <\/p>\n
474
\n00:28:12,508 –> 00:28:18,100
\nminute.
\nMaybe this is what Elijah was <\/p>\n
475
\n00:28:18,100 –> 00:28:20,500
\ndoing, right?
\nThis this because eventually <\/p>\n
476
\n00:28:20,500 –> 00:28:22,400
\nthis is how people start to
\nrespond and say. <\/p>\n
477
\n00:28:22,400 –> 00:28:24,800
\nOh yeah, I know that guy, you
\nknow this is what he’s going to <\/p>\n
478
\n00:28:24,800 –> 00:28:25,800
\ndo is going to tell me I did
\nthis. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:28:25,808 –> 00:28:28,100
\nThat was wrong.
\nLike etc, etc. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:28:28,100 –> 00:28:30,400
\nAnd that’s it.
\nI what am I going to say back? <\/p>\n
481
\n00:28:30,400 –> 00:28:32,700
\nRight.
\nI think this is what ends up <\/p>\n
482
\n00:28:32,700 –> 00:28:34,400
\nhappening.
\nThe people did not answer a <\/p>\n
483
\n00:28:34,400 –> 00:28:37,900
\nword, so we get Elijah standing
\nup once again and saying I’m the<\/p>\n
484
\n00:28:37,900 –> 00:28:42,000
\nonly one left right?
\nWhich essentially negates <\/p>\n
485
\n00:28:42,000 –> 00:28:43,400
\neverything.
\nAll the other prophets were <\/p>\n
486
\n00:28:43,400 –> 00:28:44,600
\ndoing for three and a half.
\nYears. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:28:45,300 –> 00:28:48,900
\nIt’s kind of not so good.
\nIt also shows where Elijah is <\/p>\n
488
\n00:28:48,908 –> 00:28:53,900
\nmind was I think that’s huge.
\nWe look at Elijah and we say, <\/p>\n
489
\n00:28:54,300 –> 00:28:56,800
\noh, you know, he fell into
\ndepression at Mount Sinai. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:28:58,300 –> 00:29:03,800
\nWell, Kind of, but I would
\nsuggest you it happened before <\/p>\n
491
\n00:29:03,800 –> 00:29:06,800
\nthat.
\nBecause he’s saying the same <\/p>\n
492
\n00:29:06,800 –> 00:29:09,800
\nthing here.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:29:09,800 –> 00:29:13,700
\nThis is this is not an Elijah
\nwho is on a spiritual high, <\/p>\n
494
\n00:29:13,900 –> 00:29:15,500
\nright?
\nThis is Elijah. <\/p>\n
495
\n00:29:15,500 –> 00:29:19,100
\nWho’s got some major issues to
\ndeal with and it’s more evident <\/p>\n
496
\n00:29:19,100 –> 00:29:22,700
\nin Mount Sinai.
\nBut I think it’s also evident <\/p>\n
497
\n00:29:22,700 –> 00:29:25,000
\nhere.
\nI’m on Carmel. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:29:25,100 –> 00:29:32,800
\nHe says the exact same words.
\nNow, Paul characterizes these <\/p>\n
499
\n00:29:32,800 –> 00:29:35,800
\nwords this I only I am left
\nright? <\/p>\n
500
\n00:29:36,500 –> 00:29:38,600
\nPaul characterizes that in
\nRomans 11 verse 2. <\/p>\n
501
\n00:29:38,600 –> 00:29:41,100
\nIt’s very fascinating commentary
\nhere. <\/p>\n
502
\n00:29:41,800 –> 00:29:47,700
\nHe says Romans 11 to Elijah
\nprayed to God. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:29:48,000 –> 00:29:55,500
\nAnybody know.
\nAgainst Israel. so, when he was <\/p>\n
504
\n00:29:55,500 –> 00:29:58,900
\non caramel, That’s what he was
\ndoing. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:29:59,200 –> 00:30:01,700
\nThis wasn’t a, I’m going to
\nrescue everybody. <\/p>\n
506
\n00:30:02,300 –> 00:30:05,900
\nThis was a I don’t know what’s
\ngoing to happen here, but I’m <\/p>\n
507
\n00:30:05,900 –> 00:30:10,600
\nready to destroy right.
\nThat’s what’s going on, he’s <\/p>\n
508
\n00:30:10,600 –> 00:30:14,300
\nprophesying or he’s praying
\nagainst Israel and you can kind <\/p>\n
509
\n00:30:14,300 –> 00:30:17,400
\nof see it when he says, and The
\nGod Who Answers by fire, he is <\/p>\n
510
\n00:30:17,400 –> 00:30:20,700
\nGod, that’s a really funny thing
\nto say, you know, it’s almost <\/p>\n
511
\n00:30:20,700 –> 00:30:24,300
\nlike Elijah is saying you guys
\ndon’t even, you have no idea who<\/p>\n
512
\n00:30:24,300 –> 00:30:26,800
\nthe real God is.
\nYou know, what’s funny about <\/p>\n
513
\n00:30:26,800 –> 00:30:32,400
\nthat first Kings, 18 17?
\nYou remember what Ahab calls, <\/p>\n
514
\n00:30:32,400 –> 00:30:36,100
\nElijah.
\nThe troubler of Israel. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:30:36,200 –> 00:30:41,200
\nNow, if you thought, Yahweh had
\nno power at all. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:30:42,800 –> 00:30:46,500
\nWould you admit that his profit
\nwas causing a drought? <\/p>\n
517
\n00:30:48,000 –> 00:30:51,600
\nProbably not right.
\nLike Ahab was Ahab was fighting <\/p>\n
518
\n00:30:51,600 –> 00:30:54,900
\nagainst Yahweh, which bad idea,
\nbut he seems to recognize <\/p>\n
519
\n00:30:55,000 –> 00:30:56,100
\nthere’s at least something
\nthere. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:30:58,500 –> 00:31:01,900
\nAnd yet Elijah seems bent on
\nthis idea. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:31:01,900 –> 00:31:04,800
\nLike, it’s like he’s totally out
\nof touch with the people. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:31:04,900 –> 00:31:08,100
\nLike I’m going to prove to you
\nwho is the real God? <\/p>\n
523
\n00:31:08,100 –> 00:31:12,200
\nAnd the people are like, well,
\ndidn’t you just do that in the <\/p>\n
524
\n00:31:12,200 –> 00:31:16,100
\nlast three and a half years?
\nWe haven’t had any water. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:31:16,700 –> 00:31:20,100
\nI didn’t make that happen.
\nBailed and make it happen. <\/p>\n
526
\n00:31:24,900 –> 00:31:26,900
\nNow, the reason you might be
\nwondering, you know, why am I <\/p>\n
527
\n00:31:26,900 –> 00:31:28,600
\nhammering Elijah so hard on
\nthis? <\/p>\n
528
\n00:31:29,200 –> 00:31:34,500
\nHere’s the reason why.
\nI think at least for me and <\/p>\n
529
\n00:31:35,100 –> 00:31:38,300
\nmaybe our community has done
\nthis to, we’ve often looked at <\/p>\n
530
\n00:31:38,300 –> 00:31:41,600
\nthis.
\nAnd at noon Elijah mocked them. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:31:42,700 –> 00:31:46,100
\nAnd we’ve often said, oh, you
\nknow, isn’t that funny like look<\/p>\n
532
\n00:31:46,100 –> 00:31:48,600
\nat look at other churches and
\nhow ridiculous they are you know<\/p>\n
533
\n00:31:48,600 –> 00:31:51,600
\nwhen they are moved by the
\nspirit and you know all these <\/p>\n
534
\n00:31:51,600 –> 00:31:54,200
\nkind of things and they run up
\nand down the aisles and and we <\/p>\n
535
\n00:31:54,200 –> 00:31:56,400
\nlaugh about it.
\nAnd we you know, and people say <\/p>\n
536
\n00:31:56,400 –> 00:31:58,600
\nwell I don’t know if that’s like
\nthe nicest thing to do and we <\/p>\n
537
\n00:31:58,600 –> 00:32:01,400
\nsay oh yeah it is.
\nElijah, did it right? <\/p>\n
538
\n00:32:01,900 –> 00:32:05,000
\nI think it’s helpful for us to
\nrecognize. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:32:07,300 –> 00:32:09,500
\nThis wasn’t actually something
\nwe’re supposed to repeat. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:32:09,800 –> 00:32:15,000
\nThis is actually Elijah in a
\nmoment of his life that probably<\/p>\n
541
\n00:32:15,500 –> 00:32:20,800
\nwas not a real good moment. the
\ngood moment was raising the <\/p>\n
542
\n00:32:20,808 –> 00:32:25,700
\nWidow’s son, that’s the moment
\nwhere Christ says, I’m following<\/p>\n
543
\n00:32:25,700 –> 00:32:30,100
\nthat example, I’m following that
\nexample, there is no type of <\/p>\n
544
\n00:32:30,100 –> 00:32:37,000
\nChrist at Mount Carmel.
\nI think that’s very powerful for<\/p>\n
545
\n00:32:37,000 –> 00:32:41,200
\nus that I’m not sure that Elijah
\nsupposed to be an example there.<\/p>\n
546
\n00:32:42,100 –> 00:32:44,800
\nNow he then goes any repairs,
\nthe altar of Yahweh which I just<\/p>\n
547
\n00:32:44,800 –> 00:32:46,500
\nthink is interesting that there
\nhad been an altar on Mount <\/p>\n
548
\n00:32:46,500 –> 00:32:48,000
\nCarmel.
\nAt some point, just kind of keep<\/p>\n
549
\n00:32:48,000 –> 00:32:50,000
\nthat in mind.
\nWe’re going to touch on that <\/p>\n
550
\n00:32:50,000 –> 00:32:52,000
\nagain later.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:32:52,100 –> 00:32:56,100
\nNow this shows us where Elijah
\nis mind was and this to me is <\/p>\n
552
\n00:32:56,100 –> 00:32:59,800
\nalso very helpful here.
\nElijah took 12 Stones according <\/p>\n
553
\n00:32:59,800 –> 00:33:01,600
\nto the number of the tribes of
\nthe sons of Jacob. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:33:02,200 –> 00:33:06,200
\nSo he takes 12 Stones to repair
\nthe altar which is a reference <\/p>\n
555
\n00:33:06,200 –> 00:33:10,100
\nback to Exodus 24.
\nMoses took 12 Stones when he was<\/p>\n
556
\n00:33:10,100 –> 00:33:14,100
\nmaking the Covenant at Sinai.
\nSo he takes 12 Stones and that <\/p>\n
557
\n00:33:14,100 –> 00:33:16,700
\nwould be representative of all
\n12 tribes, right? <\/p>\n
558
\n00:33:16,800 –> 00:33:18,400
\nEven though Elijah was just in
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:33:19,200 –> 00:33:21,900
\nSo he’s thinking about all 12
\ntribes. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:33:21,900 –> 00:33:25,500
\nHe’s thinking back to Moses.
\nIt also says to whom the word of<\/p>\n
561
\n00:33:25,500 –> 00:33:29,500
\nthe Lord came saying, Israel
\nshall be your name now, God <\/p>\n
562
\n00:33:29,500 –> 00:33:31,300
\nactually says that twice to
\nJacob. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:33:31,500 –> 00:33:35,000
\nIsrael will be your name.
\nHe says it in Genesis 32, 27 and<\/p>\n
564
\n00:33:35,000 –> 00:33:37,800
\n28.
\nAnd in Genesis 35 verse 10. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:33:38,700 –> 00:33:42,300
\nHe says it twice there.
\nThis is actually an exact quote <\/p>\n
566
\n00:33:42,300 –> 00:33:47,500
\nof Genesis 3510.
\nSo, right here first Kings, 18 <\/p>\n
567
\n00:33:47,500 –> 00:33:49,900
\nis an exact quote of Genesis, 35
\n10. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:33:50,200 –> 00:33:53,600
\nSo, it’s that instance, and the
\nreason that, that is significant<\/p>\n
569
\n00:33:53,600 –> 00:33:58,900
\nis Genesis, 35 is when the
\ncovenant made with Abraham is <\/p>\n
570
\n00:33:58,900 –> 00:34:04,000
\ngiven to Jacob. so what we’re
\nbeing told here is that Elijah’s<\/p>\n
571
\n00:34:04,000 –> 00:34:08,600
\nmind is all over scripture,
\nwhich let that sink in a little <\/p>\n
572
\n00:34:08,600 –> 00:34:12,900
\nbit.
\nHere he is, in a period that <\/p>\n
573
\n00:34:12,900 –> 00:34:17,900
\nappears to not be a hugely
\nspiritual time yet. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:34:17,900 –> 00:34:22,699
\nHis mind is on the covenant made
\nwith Moses or would the <\/p>\n
575
\n00:34:22,707 –> 00:34:26,500
\nIsraelites at Sinai and the
\ncovenant made with Abraham that <\/p>\n
576
\n00:34:26,500 –> 00:34:33,199
\nsort of fascinating Okay.
\nIn addition, here’s what he <\/p>\n
577
\n00:34:33,199 –> 00:34:35,699
\nsays, Elijah.
\nThe prophet came near and said <\/p>\n
578
\n00:34:35,699 –> 00:34:38,699
\nO, Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac
\nand Israel. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:34:38,699 –> 00:34:42,199
\nNow, we’re semi used to this,
\nthe god of Abraham, Isaac, and <\/p>\n
580
\n00:34:42,207 –> 00:34:43,699
\nJacob, right?
\nWe use that a lot in our <\/p>\n
581
\n00:34:43,699 –> 00:34:45,900
\nprayers.
\nElijah says something different <\/p>\n
582
\n00:34:45,900 –> 00:34:47,199
\nthough.
\nHe says, Abraham, Isaac and <\/p>\n
583
\n00:34:47,199 –> 00:34:49,400
\nIsrael.
\nIn fact, there was only one <\/p>\n
584
\n00:34:49,400 –> 00:34:52,500
\nother time when those three
\nnames came together as a title <\/p>\n
585
\n00:34:52,500 –> 00:34:56,500
\nfor God before this It was
\nactually as 3213. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:34:57,000 –> 00:35:01,000
\nRemember, Abraham, Isaac, and
\nIsrael, your servants to whom <\/p>\n
587
\n00:35:01,000 –> 00:35:03,500
\nyou sworn by your own self.
\nAnd said to them, I will <\/p>\n
588
\n00:35:03,500 –> 00:35:05,300
\nmultiply your Offspring as the
\nstars of Heaven. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:35:05,300 –> 00:35:07,500
\nNow, question for you, what’s
\nhappened? <\/p>\n
590
\n00:35:07,500 –> 00:35:10,700
\nWhat’s going on in Exodus 32 13,
\nany thoughts? <\/p>\n
591
\n00:35:14,100 –> 00:35:20,900
\nPeter.
\nMoses is praying for Israel. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:35:21,100 –> 00:35:25,400
\nHe’s asking God to spare them
\nand he’s using this particular <\/p>\n
593
\n00:35:25,400 –> 00:35:27,500
\nname.
\nSo Ally, just thinking back and <\/p>\n
594
\n00:35:27,500 –> 00:35:30,400
\nhe almost seems to Totally Miss
\nwhat’s going on in this story <\/p>\n
595
\n00:35:30,600 –> 00:35:32,600
\nand he still just thinking about
\nthe Covenant at Sinai. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:35:32,700 –> 00:35:35,800
\nAnd he quotes, what?
\nMoses says the god of Abraham, <\/p>\n
597
\n00:35:35,800 –> 00:35:38,400
\nIsaac, and Israel.
\nSo here’s Elijah with his mind, <\/p>\n
598
\n00:35:38,400 –> 00:35:41,600
\nall over scripture.
\nNow this is an incredibly <\/p>\n
599
\n00:35:41,600 –> 00:35:47,200
\npowerful lesson I think to us
\nbecause wait a minute. <\/p>\n
600
\n00:35:47,800 –> 00:35:51,300
\nThere.
\nBecause he’ll I just motivation.<\/p>\n
601
\n00:35:52,700 –> 00:35:56,700
\nWas biblical.
\nI think that’s huge. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:35:57,200 –> 00:36:01,800
\nHow often are we able to look at
\nscripture and say, oh, well, you<\/p>\n
603
\n00:36:01,800 –> 00:36:06,300
\nknow, I gotta do something to
\nthis brother because clearly <\/p>\n
604
\n00:36:06,300 –> 00:36:09,200
\nscripturally, what he’s teaching
\nis wrong. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:36:09,700 –> 00:36:13,900
\nSo, you know, I got, I gotta
\njust push him out or I gotta do,<\/p>\n
606
\n00:36:14,000 –> 00:36:17,600
\nyou know, I gotta make sure go
\ndefend the truth and stop him <\/p>\n
607
\n00:36:17,600 –> 00:36:20,500
\nfrom doing this kind of thing,
\nand that often ends up becoming <\/p>\n
608
\n00:36:20,500 –> 00:36:24,600
\nan attack right or some kind of
\njudgment rather than hey, let’s <\/p>\n
609
\n00:36:24,600 –> 00:36:26,800
\nsit down and talk about
\nTogether, right? <\/p>\n
610
\n00:36:26,800 –> 00:36:31,300
\nWhich is what it should be.
\nI think this is so powerful for <\/p>\n
611
\n00:36:31,300 –> 00:36:35,600
\nus that often times.
\nWe can have the right <\/p>\n
612
\n00:36:35,600 –> 00:36:38,800
\nmotivation.
\nWe can have the right biblical <\/p>\n
613
\n00:36:38,800 –> 00:36:42,000
\nbasis.
\nAnd That’s essential, we have to<\/p>\n
614
\n00:36:42,000 –> 00:36:44,800
\nhave that.
\nIf we don’t, then we’re wrong. <\/p>\n
615
\n00:36:45,900 –> 00:36:50,500
\nBut we can still be wrong even
\nwith it if our attitude is <\/p>\n
616
\n00:36:50,500 –> 00:36:53,200
\nwrong.
\nAnd that’s the key. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:36:55,300 –> 00:36:59,000
\nWe want a Biblical motivation.
\nBut we also want the right <\/p>\n
618
\n00:36:59,000 –> 00:37:02,300
\nattitude and that’s the issue
\nhere with Elijah. <\/p>\n
619
\n00:37:02,800 –> 00:37:07,000
\nHis motivation was biblical.
\nBut his attitude, I think what’s<\/p>\n
620
\n00:37:07,000 –> 00:37:09,600
\nwrong.
\nSo let’s take a look at what <\/p>\n
621
\n00:37:09,600 –> 00:37:14,400
\nhappens.
\nThen the question is, Why did <\/p>\n
622
\n00:37:14,400 –> 00:37:18,000
\nGod then answer Elijah’s prayer?
\nWell, just read through the <\/p>\n
623
\n00:37:18,008 –> 00:37:20,100
\nprayer here.
\nAlready put you debt. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:37:20,100 –> 00:37:22,700
\nI already put down here that I
\ndon’t think God answered the <\/p>\n
625
\n00:37:22,700 –> 00:37:27,500
\nprayer but just consider what
\nthe prayer is and see if you <\/p>\n
626
\n00:37:27,500 –> 00:37:31,800
\nnotice how God didn’t answer, it
\nanswer me. <\/p>\n
627
\n00:37:31,800 –> 00:37:35,400
\nO, Lord answered me that this
\npeople may know that you oh Lord<\/p>\n
628
\n00:37:35,400 –> 00:37:39,700
\nOur God and that you have turned
\ntheir hearts back then. <\/p>\n
629
\n00:37:39,700 –> 00:37:41,100
\nThe fire of the Lord fell and
\nconsumed. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:37:41,100 –> 00:37:43,500
\nThe burnt offering in the wood
\nand the stones and the Dust. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:37:43,500 –> 00:37:45,400
\nI looked up the water that was
\nin the trench. <\/p>\n
632
\n00:37:45,400 –> 00:37:47,800
\nWhen all the people saw it, they
\nfell on their faces and said, <\/p>\n
633
\n00:37:48,000 –> 00:37:50,900
\nYahweh.
\nHe is God Yahweh, he is God. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:37:51,100 –> 00:37:53,300
\nNow, what was the largest
\nprayer? <\/p>\n
635
\n00:37:57,100 –> 00:37:58,700
\nI want the people to know that
\nyou are God. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:37:59,800 –> 00:38:05,200
\nAnd I want you to turn their
\nhearts. so, what’s the prayer <\/p>\n
637
\n00:38:05,200 –> 00:38:10,800
\nanswered?
\nkind of, But not really. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:38:12,800 –> 00:38:15,900
\nThe people appear to recognize
\nthat Yahweh is God right now. <\/p>\n
639
\n00:38:15,900 –> 00:38:17,900
\nYell it out, Yahweh he’s God,
\nYahweh he’s gone. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:38:19,200 –> 00:38:22,200
\nBut this part of the blue that
\nyou’ve turned their hearts back,<\/p>\n
641
\n00:38:22,800 –> 00:38:25,400
\nthat wasn’t answered now.
\nI think we can prove that <\/p>\n
642
\n00:38:25,900 –> 00:38:27,200
\nbecause it’s going to be
\nanswered later. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:38:27,700 –> 00:38:31,700
\nHow do we know Malachi 4 verse
\n2. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:38:33,800 –> 00:38:38,700
\nBehold, I will send you Elijah
\nthe prophet before the great and<\/p>\n
645
\n00:38:38,700 –> 00:38:41,100
\nterrible day of the Lord.
\nAnd what’s he going to do? <\/p>\n
646
\n00:38:42,200 –> 00:38:48,400
\nHe will turn the hearts of the
\nfather’s to the children and the<\/p>\n
647
\n00:38:48,400 –> 00:38:49,800
\nhearts of the children to the
\nfather’s. <\/p>\n
648
\n00:38:51,800 –> 00:38:56,100
\nElijah prayed turn the hearts.
\nGod says. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:38:57,300 –> 00:39:00,300
\nNo.
\nBecause you’re not ready for it <\/p>\n
650
\n00:39:00,300 –> 00:39:04,000
\nyet.
\nBut you will someday. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:39:07,300 –> 00:39:10,400
\nSo, I don’t think the prayer was
\nanswered prayer Was Heard. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:39:11,700 –> 00:39:15,400
\nGod has a plan to answer the
\nprayer but I think when we say, <\/p>\n
653
\n00:39:15,400 –> 00:39:17,000
\noh well look the fire came down
\nfrom heaven. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:39:17,000 –> 00:39:18,800
\nLook, it was God, you know,
\nvalidating all of this. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:39:19,000 –> 00:39:20,200
\nI don’t think that’s what’s
\ngoing on. <\/p>\n
656
\n00:39:20,200 –> 00:39:22,900
\nYes, the fire does come down.
\nI think he’s allowing Elijah to <\/p>\n
657
\n00:39:22,900 –> 00:39:26,400
\nkeep some of his authority.
\nBut he doesn’t fully answer the <\/p>\n
658
\n00:39:26,400 –> 00:39:29,800
\nprayer.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n
659
\n00:39:30,900 –> 00:39:35,600
\nNow just again to emphasize
\nwhere Elijah’s mind is that. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:39:35,600 –> 00:39:38,300
\nLook at this.
\nElijah said to them, seize the <\/p>\n
661
\n00:39:38,300 –> 00:39:40,600
\nprophets of Baal.
\nLet not one of them escaped and <\/p>\n
662
\n00:39:40,600 –> 00:39:43,700
\nthey seize them so you’ll notice
\nplural, right? <\/p>\n
663
\n00:39:43,700 –> 00:39:46,100
\nThey seize them.
\nElijah brought them down to the <\/p>\n
664
\n00:39:46,100 –> 00:39:47,900
\nbrook.
\nKeyshawn and slaughtered them <\/p>\n
665
\n00:39:47,900 –> 00:39:50,200
\nthere.
\nDid you see what just happened? <\/p>\n
666
\n00:39:51,600 –> 00:39:56,100
\nThey seize them.
\nElijah brings them down and he <\/p>\n
667
\n00:39:56,100 –> 00:39:57,900
\nSlaughters them.
\nThere’s your word for brought, <\/p>\n
668
\n00:39:57,900 –> 00:39:59,700
\nits masculine singular, and
\nHebrew. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:40:00,200 –> 00:40:01,200
\nThere’s your word for
\nslaughtered. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:40:01,200 –> 00:40:07,800
\nIts masculine singular.
\nIn other words, Elijah kills <\/p>\n
671
\n00:40:07,800 –> 00:40:10,100
\nthem.
\nAll the people don’t. <\/p>\n
672
\n00:40:12,200 –> 00:40:15,400
\nAll right, so let’s just talk
\nabout the problems with a <\/p>\n
673
\n00:40:15,408 –> 00:40:20,300
\ncapital P here.
\nSo we got a few minutes there <\/p>\n
674
\n00:40:20,300 –> 00:40:24,600
\nhave been hints that Elijah’s
\nattitude, had some issues. <\/p>\n
675
\n00:40:25,900 –> 00:40:30,800
\nSo, what I want you to notice
\nis, we’re told twice that his <\/p>\n
676
\n00:40:30,800 –> 00:40:34,000
\nprayer takes place at the time
\nof the offering of the oblation.<\/p>\n
677
\n00:40:34,300 –> 00:40:36,700
\nAgain, when scripture says,
\nstuff like that, you got to ask <\/p>\n
678
\n00:40:36,700 –> 00:40:38,700
\nwhy?
\nThere’s some reason for us to <\/p>\n
679
\n00:40:38,700 –> 00:40:41,900
\nknow?
\nWell, I would suggest that maybe<\/p>\n
680
\n00:40:41,900 –> 00:40:46,100
\nit’s because we’re supposed to
\nsee this as an evening oblation,<\/p>\n
681
\n00:40:46,400 –> 00:40:49,500
\nas one of the evening offerings.
\nNow, let’s just read through the<\/p>\n
682
\n00:40:49,500 –> 00:40:52,400
\nrequirements of the evening
\noffering and why don’t you tell <\/p>\n
683
\n00:40:52,400 –> 00:40:55,100
\nme?
\nIf you notice anything different<\/p>\n
684
\n00:40:55,100 –> 00:40:58,100
\nbetween What God Says to do in
\nthe evening offering and what <\/p>\n
685
\n00:40:58,100 –> 00:41:01,600
\nElijah did, its numbers 28
\nverses 3 to 8, it says, you <\/p>\n
686
\n00:41:01,600 –> 00:41:03,700
\nshall say to them.
\nThis is the food offering that <\/p>\n
687
\n00:41:03,700 –> 00:41:06,200
\nyou shall offer to the Lord.
\nTo mail Liam’s. <\/p>\n
688
\n00:41:06,200 –> 00:41:07,900
\nA year old without blemish day
\nby day. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:41:07,900 –> 00:41:10,400
\nAs a regular offering, the one
\nlamb you shall offer in the <\/p>\n
690
\n00:41:10,408 –> 00:41:11,700
\nmorning.
\nThe other lamb, you shall offer <\/p>\n
691
\n00:41:11,700 –> 00:41:15,300
\nat Twilight also a tenth of an
\nephah of fine flour for a grain <\/p>\n
692
\n00:41:15,300 –> 00:41:18,400
\noffering mixed with a quarter of
\na hint of beaten oil, it is a <\/p>\n
693
\n00:41:18,400 –> 00:41:21,100
\nregular burnt offering, which
\nwas ordained at Mount Sinai for <\/p>\n
694
\n00:41:21,100 –> 00:41:22,900
\na pleasing.
\nAroma a food offering to the <\/p>\n
695
\n00:41:22,900 –> 00:41:24,800
\nLord.
\nIt’s drink offering should be a <\/p>\n
696
\n00:41:24,808 –> 00:41:27,900
\nquarter of a hen for each lamb.
\nIn the Holy place, you shall <\/p>\n
697
\n00:41:27,900 –> 00:41:29,300
\npour out a drink offering a
\nstrong. <\/p>\n
698
\n00:41:29,300 –> 00:41:31,700
\nDrink to the Lord, the other
\nlamb you shall offer at <\/p>\n
699
\n00:41:31,700 –> 00:41:33,000
\nTwilight.
\nLike the grain offering of the <\/p>\n
700
\n00:41:33,000 –> 00:41:35,700
\nmorning and it’s drink offering
\nyou shall offer it as a food <\/p>\n
701
\n00:41:35,700 –> 00:41:37,900
\noffering with a pleasing Aroma
\nto the Lord. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:41:38,000 –> 00:41:41,600
\nDo you notice?
\nIt was supposed to be a lamb, <\/p>\n
703
\n00:41:41,700 –> 00:41:44,600
\nright?
\nWhat did Elijah offer, a bull <\/p>\n
704
\n00:41:44,900 –> 00:41:46,600
\ninteresting?
\nWhere was it supposed to be <\/p>\n
705
\n00:41:46,600 –> 00:41:49,700
\noffered?
\nHoly place which would be <\/p>\n
706
\n00:41:50,000 –> 00:41:52,400
\nJerusalem.
\nThat was not where Elijah was. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:41:52,900 –> 00:41:54,300
\nSo there’s interesting pieces
\nhere. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:41:54,300 –> 00:41:56,700
\nYou can take a look at this.
\nI’m only going to leave this up <\/p>\n
709
\n00:41:56,700 –> 00:41:59,300
\nhere for a brief moment since we
\ngot two minutes right now. <\/p>\n
710
\n00:42:00,100 –> 00:42:02,200
\nSo you can take a picture of it
\nreal quick if you want. <\/p>\n
711
\n00:42:02,200 –> 00:42:05,600
\nBut I would suggest to you that
\nbasically scriptures telling us,<\/p>\n
712
\n00:42:05,600 –> 00:42:08,500
\nElijah was essentially doing an
\nevening offering and it didn’t <\/p>\n
713
\n00:42:08,500 –> 00:42:10,800
\ncut it.
\nThere was a lot of things that <\/p>\n
714
\n00:42:10,800 –> 00:42:14,200
\ndidn’t actually match up and
\nyet. <\/p>\n
715
\n00:42:15,800 –> 00:42:19,700
\nElijah felt like that’s okay
\nbecause Because I’m doing this <\/p>\n
716
\n00:42:19,700 –> 00:42:23,500
\nfor God and that was a good way
\nto think, right? <\/p>\n
717
\n00:42:23,500 –> 00:42:25,100
\nThat’s, that’s the right kind of
\nattitude. <\/p>\n
718
\n00:42:25,200 –> 00:42:28,400
\nThe problem is, is that attitude
\ndidn’t generalize to anybody <\/p>\n
719
\n00:42:28,400 –> 00:42:32,200
\nelse in existence.
\nThat’s the problem. <\/p>\n
720
\n00:42:33,900 –> 00:42:40,800
\nAnd so what we see then is
\nElijah puts the wood in order, <\/p>\n
721
\n00:42:40,900 –> 00:42:43,500
\nhe cuts the bull and pieces.
\nThese two words in Hebrew for <\/p>\n
722
\n00:42:43,500 –> 00:42:45,700
\nputting the wood in order,
\ncutting the bull and pieces, <\/p>\n
723
\n00:42:46,100 –> 00:42:48,900
\nLeviticus 1 verses 5 to 8.
\nSpecifically applies. <\/p>\n
724
\n00:42:48,900 –> 00:42:51,200
\nThose to what the priests are
\nsupposed to do. <\/p>\n
725
\n00:42:52,300 –> 00:42:57,000
\nElijah was not a priest.
\nHe breaks the law in doing this,<\/p>\n
726
\n00:42:57,500 –> 00:43:01,300
\nin performing the job of the
\npriests, which was that? <\/p>\n
727
\n00:43:01,300 –> 00:43:04,600
\nOkay, well, I mean, David did it
\nto write but it was okay when he<\/p>\n
728
\n00:43:04,600 –> 00:43:07,600
\nhad the right attitude, when he
\nunderstood what was behind it. <\/p>\n
729
\n00:43:08,300 –> 00:43:10,600
\nWhat about Elijah’s alter?
\nThis is Wilbur finish. <\/p>\n
730
\n00:43:11,100 –> 00:43:14,200
\nDid you notice this?
\nHe repairs the altar of Yahweh <\/p>\n
731
\n00:43:14,200 –> 00:43:18,200
\nthat have been thrown down like
\nwhat an altar of Yahweh on Mount<\/p>\n
732
\n00:43:18,200 –> 00:43:19,700
\nCarmel, like what would that
\nhave been? <\/p>\n
733
\n00:43:19,800 –> 00:43:21,600
\nIt would have to have been a
\nhigh place. <\/p>\n
734
\n00:43:23,100 –> 00:43:28,900
\nBecause the only, okay, Alters.
\nWhere where Jerusalem? <\/p>\n
735
\n00:43:29,000 –> 00:43:32,100
\nThat was the only place people
\nwere supposed to worship. <\/p>\n
736
\n00:43:32,300 –> 00:43:36,300
\nSo God says in Deuteronomy 12,
\nyou will bring all that I <\/p>\n
737
\n00:43:36,308 –> 00:43:39,200
\ncommand you there, your burnt
\nofferings in your sacrifices, <\/p>\n
738
\n00:43:39,400 –> 00:43:41,400
\ntake care of that.
\nYou do not offer your burnt <\/p>\n
739
\n00:43:41,400 –> 00:43:44,500
\nofferings at any place you see,
\nbut at the place the Lord you’re<\/p>\n
740
\n00:43:44,500 –> 00:43:46,100
\ncute.
\nYou look the Lord will choose in<\/p>\n
741
\n00:43:46,100 –> 00:43:49,300
\none of your tribes.
\nIt could only be Jerusalem and <\/p>\n
742
\n00:43:49,300 –> 00:43:51,600
\nElijah repairs.
\nThis in fact, if you’re feeling <\/p>\n
743
\n00:43:51,600 –> 00:43:54,000
\nlike I’m stretching this here,
\nthis is actually the talmud the <\/p>\n
744
\n00:43:54,000 –> 00:43:57,900
\ntalmud sees this as a major.
\nLike against Elijah and they try<\/p>\n
745
\n00:43:57,900 –> 00:43:59,400
\nand figure out some way to get
\naround it. <\/p>\n
746
\n00:44:00,800 –> 00:44:02,600
\nThe fact that he worships of
\nMount Carmel. <\/p>\n
747
\n00:44:02,800 –> 00:44:06,000
\nSo the Jerusalem talmud says as
\nit is written at the approach of<\/p>\n
748
\n00:44:06,000 –> 00:44:08,900
\nthe afternoon, sacrifice Elijah.
\nThe prophet stepped up and said <\/p>\n
749
\n00:44:09,000 –> 00:44:11,900
\nEternal God of Abraham, Isaac,
\nand Israel today, may it be <\/p>\n
750
\n00:44:11,900 –> 00:44:15,900
\nknown and Elijah sacrifices when
\nlocal altars are forbidden. <\/p>\n
751
\n00:44:16,800 –> 00:44:19,100
\nSince the temple was already
\nbuilt all other Alters, became <\/p>\n
752
\n00:44:19,100 –> 00:44:24,800
\nillegitimate rebbe symbol.
\nI said, the word said to him, <\/p>\n
753
\n00:44:25,000 –> 00:44:27,900
\none must assume that he acted on
\nDivine command. <\/p>\n
754
\n00:44:28,400 –> 00:44:30,500
\nI acted on you’re saying, I
\nacted following your word. <\/p>\n
755
\n00:44:30,600 –> 00:44:34,000
\nAnd the gemara suggest coming
\nhere another proof, the verse <\/p>\n
756
\n00:44:34,000 –> 00:44:36,800
\nstates with regard to a true
\nProphet to him, you shall listen<\/p>\n
757
\n00:44:37,300 –> 00:44:39,400
\nfrom here to derive that.
\nEven if a prophet says to you <\/p>\n
758
\n00:44:39,400 –> 00:44:41,100
\ntransgress one of them, it’s
\nvote. <\/p>\n
759
\n00:44:41,200 –> 00:44:43,000
\nThat’s Commandments of the
\nTorah. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:44:43,000 –> 00:44:46,600
\nFor example, as is the case of
\nElijah Mount Carmel. <\/p>\n
761
\n00:44:47,900 –> 00:44:49,700
\nWho brought an offering to God
\non that mountain during a <\/p>\n
762
\n00:44:49,707 –> 00:44:52,200
\nperiod?
\nWhen it was forbidden on pain of<\/p>\n
763
\n00:44:52,200 –> 00:44:54,900
\nKorat.
\nThat means being cut up to <\/p>\n
764
\n00:44:54,900 –> 00:44:57,600
\nsacrifice, offerings outside the
\ntemple, with regard, to <\/p>\n
765
\n00:44:57,600 –> 00:45:00,000
\neverything that he permits, for
\nthe requirement of the hour, you<\/p>\n
766
\n00:45:00,000 –> 00:45:02,600
\nmust listen to him.
\nThis indicates that a Torah <\/p>\n
767
\n00:45:02,600 –> 00:45:05,200
\nMitzvah can indeed be uprooted
\nin an active manner. <\/p>\n
768
\n00:45:05,500 –> 00:45:08,100
\nIn other words, they’re saying,
\nyeah, I just broke the law and <\/p>\n
769
\n00:45:08,100 –> 00:45:09,700
\nwe had to figure out some way to
\njustify it. <\/p>\n
770
\n00:45:11,300 –> 00:45:15,600
\nHere’s the point.
\nWe often look at Elijah as <\/p>\n
771
\n00:45:15,600 –> 00:45:17,500
\nhere’s the superhero.
\nWho brings down fire from heaven<\/p>\n
772
\n00:45:17,500 –> 00:45:19,600
\nat Mount Carmel and I would put
\nto you. <\/p>\n
773
\n00:45:19,600 –> 00:45:23,000
\nI think this is actually Elijah,
\nwho’s really struggling with, <\/p>\n
774
\n00:45:23,100 –> 00:45:26,000
\nwhat does it actually mean now?
\nTo follow God, I’ve had this <\/p>\n
775
\n00:45:26,000 –> 00:45:28,600
\nexperience with the Widow, and
\nthis was a totally different <\/p>\n
776
\n00:45:28,600 –> 00:45:31,000
\npiece of my life that I’ve never
\nopened up before. <\/p>\n
777
\n00:45:31,000 –> 00:45:36,000
\nAnd he defaults back to how he
\nhad been, he goes to judgment, <\/p>\n
778
\n00:45:36,000 –> 00:45:39,400
\nhe goes back to law, and he
\ndoesn’t realize that the whole <\/p>\n
779
\n00:45:39,400 –> 00:45:43,400
\ntime.
\nHe’s breaking the law over and <\/p>\n
780
\n00:45:43,400 –> 00:45:46,900
\nover.
\nBut isn’t this how we are? <\/p>\n
781
\n00:45:47,100 –> 00:45:50,100
\nWhen we judge, we’re happy to
\nforgive ourselves. <\/p>\n
782
\n00:45:51,400 –> 00:45:54,700
\nBut not other people.
\nSo what we’re going to see. <\/p>\n
783
\n00:45:56,000 –> 00:45:58,600
\nIs that even though Elijah goes
\nback, God doesn’t give up on <\/p>\n
784
\n00:45:58,607 –> 00:46:00,900
\nhim.
\nSo he’s going to go to Mount <\/p>\n
785
\n00:46:00,900 –> 00:46:04,600
\nSinai tomorrow.
\nAnd he’s going to emphasize law <\/p>\n
786
\n00:46:04,900 –> 00:46:10,500
\nlaw, law to God.
\nBut God, our God. <\/p>\n
787
\n00:46:10,900 –> 00:46:12,200
\nWho is a?
\nGod of Mercy. <\/p>\n
788
\n00:46:13,300 –> 00:46:18,200
\nWill not let him go.
\nAnd so he’s going to learn that <\/p>\n
789
\n00:46:18,200 –> 00:46:20,600
