2
\n00:00:03,700 –> 00:00:05,300
\nOur first period teacher his
\nbrother. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:05,300 –> 00:00:08,700
\nJason Hensley is General subject
\nis Elijah. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:08,700 –> 00:00:12,400
\nA man of like passions.
\nToday’s topic is the Widow <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:12,500 –> 00:00:16,700
\nbrother Jason Thank you.
\nJames did any of you notice that<\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:16,700 –> 00:00:20,000
\nwe started James started like to
\nthe second at 9:15. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:20,700 –> 00:00:23,200
\nI was that was pretty good.
\nWow. <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:23,600 –> 00:00:27,600
\nWell good morning.
\nI hope you’re feeling good doing<\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:27,600 –> 00:00:29,100
\ngood.
\nToday, we’re talking about the <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:29,100 –> 00:00:32,700
\nWidow and what I find really
\nexciting about this whole series<\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:32,700 –> 00:00:36,900
\nis it’s almost like you can see
\nwhat God is doing with Elijah <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:37,200 –> 00:00:40,600
\nbuilding on each thing, that
\nhappens to him. <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:41,100 –> 00:00:44,200
\nSo now as we talk about the
\nWidow, we’re going to build on <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:44,400 –> 00:00:49,800
\nOn the story of the Ravens.
\nNow, before that though, I have <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:49,800 –> 00:00:52,400
\na question, I want to ask you,
\nand that is this. <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:53,200 –> 00:00:58,300
\nElijah is presented as a type of
\nthe Lord Jesus in the New <\/p>\n
17
\n00:00:58,300 –> 00:01:01,200
\nTestament.
\nHere’s the question. <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:02,400 –> 00:01:06,300
\nWhat is it that he does?
\nThat is his first action? <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:07,100 –> 00:01:09,800
\nWhat is his first action?
\nThat becomes a type of Christ? <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:11,200 –> 00:01:13,600
\nInteresting thing to think about
\nwhat is the first thing that <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:13,600 –> 00:01:15,900
\nElijah does that makes him a
\ntype of Christ. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:17,600 –> 00:01:19,900
\nYour clothes.
\nYeah. <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:20,000 –> 00:01:21,000
\nYeah.
\nReason son. <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:21,300 –> 00:01:22,900
\nIt’s not the drought.
\nYep. <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:23,200 –> 00:01:25,500
\nIt’s not the Raven.
\nSo yes, you know, you can see. <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:25,500 –> 00:01:27,200
\nWe’re getting close here with
\nthe raising the Sun. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:28,000 –> 00:01:30,000
\nSo yeah, it’s a little more
\nGeneral. <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:30,000 –> 00:01:32,400
\nIt’s when he sent to the Widow.
\nYep. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:32,500 –> 00:01:34,900
\nSo in Luke chapter 4, do you
\nremember the Lord? <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:34,900 –> 00:01:37,400
\nJesus goes in the synagogue.
\nHe picks up the scroll of <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:37,400 –> 00:01:38,900
\nIsaiah.
\nThe prophet to read it. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:39,000 –> 00:01:44,100
\nIsaiah 61, he reads it.
\nHe says this day is this <\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:44,100 –> 00:01:47,700
\nfulfilled in your hearing and
\npeople don’t Like it, they get <\/p>\n
34
\n00:01:47,700 –> 00:01:52,700
\nmad and he says a prophet is not
\nwithout honour, save in his own <\/p>\n
35
\n00:01:52,700 –> 00:01:57,800
\ncountry and then he says there
\nare a number of widows in <\/p>\n
36
\n00:01:57,800 –> 00:01:59,100
\nIsrael.
\nYou remember that. <\/p>\n
37
\n00:01:59,700 –> 00:02:02,700
\nBut Elijah was only sent to the
\nWidow in Zarephath. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:03,700 –> 00:02:07,700
\nSo he parallels his own work,
\nand the fact that he was not <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:07,700 –> 00:02:12,000
\naccepted with Elijah.
\nSo it’s interesting that <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:12,000 –> 00:02:15,600
\nElijah’s doing all this work and
\nthe first place where he gets <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:15,600 –> 00:02:18,200
\nparalleled with the Lord Jesus
\nis, when he goes to the Widow, <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:18,800 –> 00:02:21,800
\nthat’s going to be interesting
\nto see because in fact, this <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:21,800 –> 00:02:30,000
\ntime with the Widow becomes
\nexplosive for Elijah’s, I don’t <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:30,000 –> 00:02:34,700
\neven know the word type of
\nfacility type – but however you <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:34,700 –> 00:02:38,400
\nturn that into an adjective,
\nwhatever you get what I’m <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:38,400 –> 00:02:40,900
\nsaying.
\nIt becomes huge for Elijah being<\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:40,900 –> 00:02:44,500
\na type of Christ and we’re going
\nto see that the Lord Jesus in <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:44,500 –> 00:02:50,100
\nfact patterns what he does
\ntwice, after Elijah’s time with <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:50,100 –> 00:02:53,600
\nthe Widow Elijah is going to
\npattern what he does after <\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:53,600 –> 00:02:56,000
\nElijah’s time with the Widow and
\nso is Peter. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:02:56,800 –> 00:03:01,100
\nSo this becomes really Lee
\nalmost almost like, the, the <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:01,100 –> 00:03:06,100
\nclimax here, of where Elijah
\nstarts to realize, this is what <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:06,100 –> 00:03:09,000
\nlife is about.
\nThis is what matters and he’s <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:09,000 –> 00:03:11,800
\nnot gonna learn it fully, right?
\nBecause he’s a human and that’s <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:11,800 –> 00:03:13,600
\nnot, it’s not really how it
\nworks. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:13,800 –> 00:03:15,300
\nYou know, we don’t we don’t just
\nsay, aha. <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:15,300 –> 00:03:17,500
\nI learned the lesson.
\nNow, I don’t need to be taught <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:17,500 –> 00:03:19,400
\nat anymore, you know?
\nI just gonna have to learn this <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:19,400 –> 00:03:22,000
\nfor the next rest of his life,
\nright? <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:22,400 –> 00:03:24,400
\nBut he’s going to start to learn
\nit. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:25,100 –> 00:03:27,600
\nAnd we see it a little bit when
\nhe comes to the Widow. <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:28,500 –> 00:03:32,400
\nSo, in First Kings 17, we’re
\nseeing Elijah start to soften a <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:32,408 –> 00:03:34,500
\nlittle bit.
\nLet me just read this to you <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:35,100 –> 00:03:37,400
\nfirst Kings 17.
\nNow, it’s not actually going to <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:37,400 –> 00:03:39,200
\nhelp that much when I read it to
\nyou because I’m reading out of <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:39,200 –> 00:03:42,400
\nthe ESV and the ESV doesn’t have
\nit. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:43,300 –> 00:03:46,000
\nSo I have to tell you what it
\nsays in the King James and in <\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:46,008 –> 00:03:50,800
\nthe Hebrew.
\nSo it’s First Kings 17, he comes<\/p>\n
69
\n00:03:50,800 –> 00:03:56,800
\nto the Widow, And it says in
\nverse 10 1st Kings 17 verse 10. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:03:57,700 –> 00:04:00,900
\nSo he arose and went to
\nZarephath when he came to the <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:00,900 –> 00:04:04,300
\ngate of the city Behold a widow.
\nIs there Gathering sticks? <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:05,000 –> 00:04:07,200
\nHe called to her and said, this
\nis the important part. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:07,900 –> 00:04:10,700
\nBring me a little water in a
\nvessel that I may drink. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:10,700 –> 00:04:13,500
\nNow, we talked already about how
\nthat showed a little bit of the <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:13,500 –> 00:04:18,600
\nobtuseness of Elijah here.
\nBut if you read it in the King <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:18,600 –> 00:04:21,100
\nJames, you might notice there’s
\na little bit of softening at <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:21,100 –> 00:04:24,900
\nleast.
\nYou will see the words, I pray. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:25,500 –> 00:04:28,400
\nWhere I pray these something
\nlike that, which, you know, <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:28,407 –> 00:04:31,200
\nnobody says that today.
\nSo when you read it in the KJV, <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:31,200 –> 00:04:33,500
\nyou might just kind of not even
\nnotice that, it’s there. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:34,200 –> 00:04:38,000
\nIt is there in the Hebrew
\nthough, it’s the word Na and <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:38,000 –> 00:04:41,500
\nHebrew.
\nWhich if, you know, if you want <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:41,500 –> 00:04:43,600
\nto be polite, when you’re
\ntalking to somebody in Hebrew, <\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:43,600 –> 00:04:46,500
\nthat’s what you say is a knob
\nwhich basically is the <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:46,500 –> 00:04:50,000
\nequivalent of please.
\nSo kind of interesting, you know<\/p>\n
86
\n00:04:50,000 –> 00:04:51,900
\nyou don’t you don’t normally
\npicture Elijah. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:04:51,900 –> 00:04:55,500
\nThis like big Brash like man who
\nspeaks and you know, three words<\/p>\n
88
\n00:04:55,500 –> 00:04:59,100
\nsentences, you don’t typically
\npicture him being the guy that <\/p>\n
89
\n00:04:59,100 –> 00:05:01,400
\ncomes in and says please but in
\nfact he does. <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:01,500 –> 00:05:05,100
\nSo that’s kind of interesting.
\nAll right, let’s not let’s not <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:05,100 –> 00:05:07,900
\nmake a huge deal of that but I
\nthink it’s just intriguing to <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:07,900 –> 00:05:10,000
\nsee that he does say that and he
\nsays it again. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:10,000 –> 00:05:15,700
\nWhen he asks for when he asked
\nfor the bread Okay, so that’s <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:15,700 –> 00:05:17,600
\njust a little bit of background
\nas we get started. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:17,700 –> 00:05:20,900
\nWe are talking about the Widow
\nclass for we have seen that God <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:20,900 –> 00:05:22,700
\nis in control.
\nWe have seen that God hears <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:22,700 –> 00:05:25,600
\nprayers, that God gives lessons
\nthat push us beyond our comfort <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:25,600 –> 00:05:27,900
\nzones.
\nAnd so today, what we are going <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:27,900 –> 00:05:34,400
\nto be noting Maybe.
\nIs that God gives lessons with <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:34,400 –> 00:05:37,600
\nfantastic blessings.
\nSo even though they push us <\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:38,000 –> 00:05:42,000
\nfurther than what we feel
\ncomfortable, with the end <\/p>\n
102
\n00:05:42,000 –> 00:05:47,400
\nresult, Is good.
\nThe end result is better than we<\/p>\n
103
\n00:05:47,400 –> 00:05:50,200
\ncould imagine.
\nGod decides when it’s time for <\/p>\n
104
\n00:05:50,200 –> 00:05:53,800
\njudgment, that will be tomorrow
\nand then we will finish with <\/p>\n
105
\n00:05:53,900 –> 00:05:57,900
\nthis idea that God does not
\nrelent. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:05:58,800 –> 00:06:01,600
\nAlright, here’s our sections
\ntoday we’re going to be talking <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:01,600 –> 00:06:03,900
\nabout the Grain and the oil.
\nSo the miracle here with the <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:03,907 –> 00:06:06,900
\nwoman and Elijah’s interaction
\nwith the woman, we’re going to <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:06,900 –> 00:06:12,800
\ntalk about her son, his change,
\nthen that happens, and this is, <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:12,800 –> 00:06:17,900
\nthis is the most exciting part I
\nthink as You see Elijah start to<\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:17,900 –> 00:06:21,600
\nchange.
\nOkay, the main lesson God gives <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:21,600 –> 00:06:25,600
\nlessons with fantastic blessings
\nand the why is why did Elijah <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:25,600 –> 00:06:28,100
\nraise the Widow’s son?
\nYou might think, what do you <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:28,100 –> 00:06:31,800
\nmean, why?
\nLike he was dead? <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:31,900 –> 00:06:34,900
\nElijah was living with her, he
\nwanted to be nice, but I think <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:34,900 –> 00:06:41,100
\nwith what we’ve seen with
\nElijah, That’s not really how he<\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:41,100 –> 00:06:44,000
\ndid things.
\nYou can almost picture him <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:44,000 –> 00:06:47,100
\nsaying, you know, she says, did
\nyou come to bring my sin to <\/p>\n
119
\n00:06:47,100 –> 00:06:50,000
\nremembrance you can almost
\npicture him saying? <\/p>\n
120
\n00:06:50,100 –> 00:06:57,700
\nYeah, I did the end, right?
\nSo it’s interesting then in that<\/p>\n
121
\n00:06:57,700 –> 00:07:01,300
\nlight in that context, that
\nElijah doesn’t say that. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:01,400 –> 00:07:06,000
\nAnd what we’re going to see is
\nthat he, in fact, goes all the <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:06,000 –> 00:07:07,200
\nway in the other direction.
\nAction. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:07,800 –> 00:07:11,400
\nHe initiates this whole raising
\nthe sun, he decides what to do <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:11,600 –> 00:07:15,000
\nand keep in mind. who would
\nraise somebody from the dead <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:15,000 –> 00:07:20,100
\nbefore this No one.
\nNobody had ever done that. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:21,300 –> 00:07:27,300
\nThis is the first time.
\nAll right, so Elijah’s time with<\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:27,300 –> 00:07:29,900
\nthe Widow reflects Christ’s
\nministry as we just said that’s <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:29,900 –> 00:07:31,600
\nthe first time he becomes a type
\nof Christ. <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:31,800 –> 00:07:34,300
\nWhat I think is fascinating
\nabout that is that as we go <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:34,300 –> 00:07:39,500
\nthrough this it’s probably as
\nElijah is living this. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:40,100 –> 00:07:44,600
\nIt was probably one of the more
\nfrustrating moments of his life.<\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:45,100 –> 00:07:48,300
\nElijah wanted to do big things,
\nhe wanted to send, down fire <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:48,300 –> 00:07:54,100
\nfrom heaven, but You think about
\nthis, he wasn’t in Israel, <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:54,600 –> 00:07:56,300
\nright?
\nThat’s not. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:56,300 –> 00:07:59,700
\nHe didn’t want to be in sidon on
\ntop of that. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:00,100 –> 00:08:04,500
\nHe’s in total poverty, living in
\na place that has been struck by <\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:04,500 –> 00:08:08,500
\nfamine and drought and he can
\nonly work with two people. <\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:09,800 –> 00:08:13,100
\nAnd that’s it.
\nSo again, I think it’s just <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:13,100 –> 00:08:16,900
\nfascinating to see things from
\nour perspective, versus God’s <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:16,900 –> 00:08:19,600
\nperspective.
\nThis is where God wanted him, <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:20,100 –> 00:08:25,800
\nthis is what God wanted him
\ndoing. so, let’s spend some time<\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:25,800 –> 00:08:29,400
\nthinking about the Widow.
\nIf you open up to Second Kings <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:29,400 –> 00:08:30,400
\n17.
\nSorry. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:30,400 –> 00:08:33,600
\nFirst first Kings 17.
\nAnd verse 9. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:34,500 –> 00:08:39,200
\nI want you to notice what is
\nunique about this Widow? <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:40,200 –> 00:08:42,600
\nThere’s an inference.
\nI think that we can make from <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:42,600 –> 00:08:47,800
\n1st Kings 17 verse 9.
\nSee, if you hear it, there’s <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:47,800 –> 00:08:49,700
\nsomething that we are told about
\nthe Widow. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:50,000 –> 00:08:55,900
\nFirst king, 17:9 listen for it.
\nArise go to Zarephath which <\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:55,900 –> 00:08:58,000
\nbelongs to sidon and dwell
\nthere. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:59,000 –> 00:09:02,000
\nBehold.
\nI have commanded a widow there <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:02,600 –> 00:09:06,200
\nto feed you.
\nWhat do you infer about the <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:06,200 –> 00:09:10,400
\nWidow based on that verse she’s
\nGod-fearing right? <\/p>\n
155
\n00:09:10,500 –> 00:09:15,400
\nGod there’s not really much of a
\nway around that God says, I <\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:16,000 –> 00:09:18,800
\ncommanded her to take care of
\nyou. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:19,500 –> 00:09:23,200
\nSo that that shows us there’s
\nsomething going on with this <\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:23,200 –> 00:09:25,600
\nwoman.
\nThat can you, can you picture <\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:25,600 –> 00:09:31,800
\nElijah hearing this right here?
\nHe is this man who Wants to <\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:31,800 –> 00:09:35,800
\ncondemn sidon because that’s
\nwhere Baal worship came from. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:36,800 –> 00:09:40,500
\nAnd God says, oh, and by the
\nway, I have a relationship with <\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:40,500 –> 00:09:45,200
\na woman there and she’s willing
\nto take care of you. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:45,200 –> 00:09:47,300
\nI’ve talked to her, I’ve
\ncommanded her to do this and <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:47,300 –> 00:09:50,400
\nshe’s going to.
\nSo, just keep that in mind <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:50,400 –> 00:09:53,700
\nbecause I think, as we, as we
\nread on, we can actually see <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:53,700 –> 00:09:55,600
\nsome more things about this
\nWidow. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:55,900 –> 00:09:59,800
\nAgain, just listen for, what can
\nyou tell about the Widow based <\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:59,800 –> 00:10:03,300
\non these verses?
\nVerses 10 to 12 says so he arose<\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:03,300 –> 00:10:05,600
\nand went to Zarephath when he
\ncame to the gate of the city <\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:05,700 –> 00:10:06,700
\nBehold.
\nA widow. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:06,700 –> 00:10:10,500
\nIs there Gathering sticks first
\nquestion What’s weird about <\/p>\n
172
\n00:10:10,500 –> 00:10:14,800
\nthat?
\nThe Gate of the city to gather <\/p>\n
173
\n00:10:14,800 –> 00:10:18,800
\nsticks and I feel like that’s a
\nlittle strange like usually <\/p>\n
174
\n00:10:18,800 –> 00:10:20,800
\nsticks.
\nDon’t, you know, plants aren’t <\/p>\n
175
\n00:10:20,800 –> 00:10:23,000
\ngrowing where a bunch of stuff
\nis built. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:10:23,500 –> 00:10:26,700
\nSo that seems a little bit odd.
\nShe’s there Gathering sticks at <\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:26,700 –> 00:10:30,600
\nthe gate.
\nIt’s almost like she is waiting <\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:30,600 –> 00:10:33,900
\nfor someone.
\nRight, interesting. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:34,900 –> 00:10:37,100
\nHe called to her and said, bring
\nme a little water in a vessel <\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:37,100 –> 00:10:41,800
\nthat I may drink and as she was
\ngoing to bring it, he called her<\/p>\n
181
\n00:10:41,800 –> 00:10:43,700
\nand said bring me a morsel of
\nbread in your hand. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:10:43,700 –> 00:10:49,300
\nWhat do you notice about that?
\nShe actually listens. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:50,600 –> 00:10:55,600
\nNow, we’d said earlier on Monday
\nthat or on Tuesday, that if <\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:55,600 –> 00:10:57,600
\nsomebody had come to you during
\na drought and said, hey, bring <\/p>\n
185
\n00:10:57,600 –> 00:10:58,700
\nme some water, you’d be like,
\nyeah. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:10:58,700 –> 00:11:02,300
\nRight, you know, I’m not gonna
\ndo that and yet this woman does <\/p>\n
187
\n00:11:02,400 –> 00:11:05,800
\nwhy?
\nI think because God told her to <\/p>\n
188
\n00:11:06,500 –> 00:11:10,400
\nGod said there’s going to be a
\nprophet, he’s going to come to <\/p>\n
189
\n00:11:10,400 –> 00:11:12,800
\nyou and ask for this.
\nI want you to be ready and I <\/p>\n
190
\n00:11:12,808 –> 00:11:16,000
\nwant you to bring it to him.
\nAnd so she’s there, waiting at <\/p>\n
191
\n00:11:16,000 –> 00:11:19,000
\nthe gate.
\nWaiting for Elijah and she’s <\/p>\n
192
\n00:11:19,000 –> 00:11:22,000
\nwilling to go get this.
\nNow there’s one other big <\/p>\n
193
\n00:11:22,000 –> 00:11:25,300
\nindication.
\nWho this woman is. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:11:25,400 –> 00:11:28,900
\nDo you see it?
\nShe says to him. <\/p>\n
195
\n00:11:30,300 –> 00:11:35,900
\nAs the Lord your God lives.
\nNow, wait a minute, how did she <\/p>\n
196
\n00:11:35,900 –> 00:11:40,400
\nknow that he was an Israelite?
\nYou could just say, oh well, <\/p>\n
197
\n00:11:40,400 –> 00:11:42,500
\neverybody knew Elijah.
\nYeah. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:11:42,500 –> 00:11:46,800
\nMaybe like there are instances
\nwhere people say, oh, did did <\/p>\n
199
\n00:11:46,800 –> 00:11:47,600
\nthat guy?
\nYou met? <\/p>\n
200
\n00:11:47,600 –> 00:11:49,400
\nYou know, have a big beard,
\nright? <\/p>\n
201
\n00:11:49,600 –> 00:11:51,100
\nAha.
\nIt Was Elijah, right? <\/p>\n
202
\n00:11:51,100 –> 00:11:55,100
\nBut that was an Israel.
\nOkay, this was like random lady <\/p>\n
203
\n00:11:55,200 –> 00:11:57,200
\nwho probably never left
\nZarephath. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:11:57,300 –> 00:11:58,700
\nShe’s not going to be like oh
\nthat guy. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:11:58,700 –> 00:12:00,800
\nI bet he’s Elijah.
\nShe probably had no idea who <\/p>\n
206
\n00:12:00,800 –> 00:12:04,900
\nElijah was.
\nAnd so she sees and realizes <\/p>\n
207
\n00:12:05,200 –> 00:12:10,000
\nthis is what I was told.
\nOkay, so she says Yahweh your <\/p>\n
208
\n00:12:10,000 –> 00:12:12,400
\nGod Lives.
\nNow the other piece, there’s one<\/p>\n
209
\n00:12:12,400 –> 00:12:16,100
\nmore thing and that is that
\nshe’s responsive to Elijah’s <\/p>\n
210
\n00:12:16,100 –> 00:12:21,000
\nobtuseness.
\nSo consider this Elijah said to <\/p>\n
211
\n00:12:21,000 –> 00:12:24,100
\nher do not fear go and do as you
\nhave said, but first make me a <\/p>\n
212
\n00:12:24,100 –> 00:12:26,500
\nlittle cake of it and bring it
\nto me and afterward make <\/p>\n
213
\n00:12:26,500 –> 00:12:29,400
\nsomething for yourself and your
\nson for thus, says the Lord the <\/p>\n
214
\n00:12:29,400 –> 00:12:32,700
\ngod of Israel, the jar of flour
\nshall not be spent. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:12:32,800 –> 00:12:34,600
\nNow, I want you to think about
\nthat phrase. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:12:34,600 –> 00:12:38,400
\nThe Lord, the god of Israel,
\nwhere is Elijah. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:12:39,800 –> 00:12:44,700
\nZarephath in sidon right now,
\nwhat did people back then <\/p>\n
218
\n00:12:44,700 –> 00:12:47,100
\nbelieve about the power of their
\ngods? <\/p>\n
219
\n00:12:49,200 –> 00:12:51,000
\nThey were limited by geography,
\nright? <\/p>\n
220
\n00:12:51,000 –> 00:12:53,200
\nSo Elijah walks in and he’s
\nlike, oh, don’t worry. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:12:53,500 –> 00:12:58,600
\nThe god of Israel says, You’ll
\nhave food now. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:12:58,600 –> 00:13:02,200
\nRandom Pagan person is going to
\nbe like hey guess what? <\/p>\n
223
\n00:13:02,700 –> 00:13:07,700
\nI’m not in Israel, right?
\nYour God can’t do anything here.<\/p>\n
224
\n00:13:08,500 –> 00:13:12,200
\nSo you know that’s that’s one
\nthing on the other hand here, he<\/p>\n
225
\n00:13:12,200 –> 00:13:14,900
\nis saying the god of Israel says
\nthis is going to happen and you <\/p>\n
226
\n00:13:14,908 –> 00:13:19,200
\ncan just imagine the response of
\noh that that God. <\/p>\n
227
\n00:13:19,500 –> 00:13:21,600
\nIsn’t he?
\nThe reason I’m in this problem <\/p>\n
228
\n00:13:21,600 –> 00:13:25,000
\nin the first place, you know,
\nthe God who brought the drought?<\/p>\n
229
\n00:13:25,100 –> 00:13:26,600
\nRight?
\nShe doesn’t say any of those <\/p>\n
230
\n00:13:26,600 –> 00:13:28,100
\nthings.
\nThings, which is interesting. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:13:28,800 –> 00:13:32,900
\nNow just just to bring this out
\na little bit as far as this <\/p>\n
232
\n00:13:32,900 –> 00:13:36,600
\nidea.
\nThe other times that this phrase<\/p>\n
233
\n00:13:37,000 –> 00:13:38,900
\nthe god of Israel is used with
\nthe Gentiles. <\/p>\n
234
\n00:13:38,900 –> 00:13:40,200
\nLet me show you a few of those
\ncases. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:13:40,700 –> 00:13:44,200
\nX is five verses 1 and 2.
\nThis is where Pharaoh says, who <\/p>\n
236
\n00:13:44,200 –> 00:13:45,900
\ncares about the job?
\nThe god of Israel. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:13:46,000 –> 00:13:48,800
\nRight?
\nJudges 5 verses 3 & 5. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:13:48,800 –> 00:13:51,800
\nThis is the song of Deborah and
\ntalks about Gentiles, <\/p>\n
239
\n00:13:52,100 –> 00:13:54,500
\nrecognizing the power of a god
\nof Israel. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:13:55,600 –> 00:14:01,900
\nRuth 212 is when Boaz says to
\nRuth that she wants to connect <\/p>\n
241
\n00:14:01,900 –> 00:14:06,000
\nherself to the god of Israel.
\nFirst, Samuel 5 verses 7 through<\/p>\n
242
\n00:14:06,000 –> 00:14:07,700
\n11.
\nAgain, this is Gentiles <\/p>\n
243
\n00:14:07,700 –> 00:14:09,500
\nacknowledging the power of the
\ngod of Israel. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:14:09,700 –> 00:14:13,400
\nSo you can see a few of the
\ndifferent ways that this phrase <\/p>\n
245
\n00:14:13,400 –> 00:14:16,000
\nis use.
\nAnd I would suggest to you that <\/p>\n
246
\n00:14:16,000 –> 00:14:21,200
\nwhen it’s used about this woman,
\nit’s her recognizing God’s power<\/p>\n
247
\n00:14:21,200 –> 00:14:24,900
\nthat it is not.
\nLimited. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:14:26,500 –> 00:14:30,000
\nTwo.
\nGeography. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:14:32,000 –> 00:14:33,100
\nWhich is how most people
\nthought. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:14:33,100 –> 00:14:35,400
\nAt the time here’s the
\nContemporary record. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:14:35,400 –> 00:14:38,300
\nThe time of Ahab says the
\nServants of the king of Syria <\/p>\n
252
\n00:14:38,300 –> 00:14:41,700
\nsaid to him, their gods are gods
\nof the hills and so they were <\/p>\n
253
\n00:14:41,700 –> 00:14:44,300
\nstronger than we but let us
\nfight against them in the plane <\/p>\n
254
\n00:14:44,400 –> 00:14:47,500
\nand surely we shall be stronger
\nthan they, write. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:14:48,000 –> 00:14:49,100
\nThis woman doesn’t think that
\nway. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:14:50,600 –> 00:14:53,300
\nNow here’s another interesting
\npiece, though. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:14:53,700 –> 00:14:55,700
\nSo the woman is receptive to the
\nphrase God of Israel. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:14:55,700 –> 00:14:59,700
\nSo I think we can see.
\nThis woman is open. <\/p>\n
259
\n00:15:00,900 –> 00:15:04,300
\nTo learning about God, beginning
\nto understand about him. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:15:05,300 –> 00:15:08,900
\nNow, Elijah by contrast, we said
\nhe’s starting to change a little<\/p>\n
261
\n00:15:08,900 –> 00:15:15,200
\nbit, but I’ll tell you this,
\nthere’s one other time when he <\/p>\n
262
\n00:15:15,200 –> 00:15:16,800
\nuses the phrase the god of
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:15:18,700 –> 00:15:23,700
\nAnd it is when he says. 1st
\nKings 17 verse 1. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:15:26,300 –> 00:15:30,000
\nAs Yahweh, the god of Israel
\nlives there will be, neither do <\/p>\n
265
\n00:15:30,100 –> 00:15:35,000
\nnor rain these years but by my
\nword so you can see him still <\/p>\n
266
\n00:15:35,000 –> 00:15:39,500
\nclinging to this drought idea.
\nSo that was the only other time.<\/p>\n
267
\n00:15:39,500 –> 00:15:42,700
\nHe used that phrase first king
\n17 one so he still holding onto <\/p>\n
268
\n00:15:42,700 –> 00:15:46,000
\nthis drought idea so you know
\nhe’s changing but just like us <\/p>\n
269
\n00:15:46,400 –> 00:15:51,300
\nhe takes some time.
\nOkay, so the woman is prepared <\/p>\n
270
\n00:15:51,300 –> 00:15:53,500
\nto accept the message that God
\nworks in her land. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:15:54,600 –> 00:15:58,400
\nAnd Elijah now is beginning to
\nchange. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:15:59,700 –> 00:16:03,400
\nAll right.
\nThis is what I think we’re going<\/p>\n
273
\n00:16:03,400 –> 00:16:10,200
\nto see throughout this story
\nwith the Widow Elijah starting <\/p>\n
274
\n00:16:10,200 –> 00:16:12,200
\nto soften, but it’s not just
\nabout softening. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:16:13,700 –> 00:16:21,600
\nIt’s about realizing that people
\nare people here. <\/p>\n
276
\n00:16:21,600 –> 00:16:25,900
\nHe is walking to sidon seeing
\nall this death and destruction. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:16:25,900 –> 00:16:29,800
\nThat’s happen because of him.
\nand I think what God is going to<\/p>\n
278
\n00:16:29,808 –> 00:16:33,400
\nteach him with the Widow, Is
\nthat even though This Woman’s <\/p>\n
279
\n00:16:33,400 –> 00:16:37,800
\nGentile, he cannot treat her
\nwith the same. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:16:37,800 –> 00:16:42,700
\nIndifference with which he had
\ntreated Israel and he’s going to<\/p>\n
281
\n00:16:42,708 –> 00:16:49,500
\nhave to realize that God is
\nactually a god of compassion. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:16:51,300 –> 00:16:54,800
\nAnd that God values
\nrelationship. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:16:56,900 –> 00:16:59,200
\nAll right, so God has prepared
\nthis woman. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:16:59,700 –> 00:17:01,700
\nShe hit rock bottom right, she’s
\nabout to die. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:17:02,000 –> 00:17:04,400
\nGod tells her that she’s going
\nto have a vision if she takes <\/p>\n
286
\n00:17:04,400 –> 00:17:06,700
\ncare of the Prophet.
\nShe goes to the city gate, to <\/p>\n
287
\n00:17:06,700 –> 00:17:09,700
\nwait, the prophet comes.
\nAnd so what you can see, in <\/p>\n
288
\n00:17:09,700 –> 00:17:14,300
\nfact, is that God throughout the
\nstory is working with both <\/p>\n
289
\n00:17:14,300 –> 00:17:17,800
\nElijah, and with the woman, it’s
\nkind of an interesting thing <\/p>\n
290
\n00:17:17,800 –> 00:17:20,400
\nabout scripture, you know, a lot
\nof times, we’re following one <\/p>\n
291
\n00:17:20,400 –> 00:17:24,900
\nspecific character and we don’t
\nrealize the breadth of what God <\/p>\n
292
\n00:17:24,900 –> 00:17:27,700
\nis doing.
\nAnd so here we have God working <\/p>\n
293
\n00:17:27,700 –> 00:17:33,500
\nwith this woman and with Elijah.
\nOkay, So here we go. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:17:34,900 –> 00:17:40,500
\nHere’s the miracle.
\nThe woman. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:17:43,300 –> 00:17:48,600
\nBegins to make the bread.
\nAnd I don’t know, you know, I’m <\/p>\n
296
\n00:17:48,600 –> 00:17:50,700
\nnot sure how this happens.
\nShe takes some of the flower and<\/p>\n
297
\n00:17:50,700 –> 00:17:52,600
\nmaybe the flower grows a little
\nmore in the jar. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:17:53,000 –> 00:17:55,800
\nSomething I had she pours the
\noil out and the oil grows again.<\/p>\n
299
\n00:17:56,500 –> 00:17:58,500
\nShe is able to use as much as he
\nneeds. <\/p>\n
300
\n00:17:58,700 –> 00:18:02,100
\nSo, what’s fascinating about?
\nThis is it’s basically a daily <\/p>\n
301
\n00:18:02,100 –> 00:18:04,300
\nmiracle.
\nAnd if you thought about that <\/p>\n
302
\n00:18:04,300 –> 00:18:11,100
\nbefore, but this woman every day
\nof her life, through till the <\/p>\n
303
\n00:18:11,100 –> 00:18:16,800
\nthree and a half years, ends
\nWitnesses, a miracle, Now, I <\/p>\n
304
\n00:18:16,800 –> 00:18:19,200
\nthink that’s fascinating because
\nremember, God is working with <\/p>\n
305
\n00:18:19,200 –> 00:18:24,700
\nher.
\nSo whenever we see stories like <\/p>\n
306
\n00:18:24,700 –> 00:18:28,400
\nthis or situations like this, we
\nhave to ask ourselves. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:18:29,900 –> 00:18:33,100
\nWhy did God do it that way?
\nso, I want you to just think <\/p>\n
308
\n00:18:33,100 –> 00:18:39,900
\nabout God is going to prepare
\nfood for this woman. <\/p>\n
309
\n00:18:40,200 –> 00:18:43,100
\nHe’s going to sustain her.
\nWhat else could he have done <\/p>\n
310
\n00:18:43,800 –> 00:18:50,300
\ninstead?
\nOf making her oil and flour. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:18:50,300 –> 00:18:53,100
\nIncrease, what could he have
\ndone instead, any thoughts? <\/p>\n
312
\n00:18:54,500 –> 00:18:56,900
\nMaybe maybe that questions a
\nlittle obscure here. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:18:56,900 –> 00:18:59,300
\nI’ll give you some I’ll Prime
\nyou. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:18:59,300 –> 00:19:05,400
\nYeah, Janae Write a spring of
\nwater could have just grown up <\/p>\n
315
\n00:19:05,400 –> 00:19:08,100
\nso that she could have provided
\nour own food. <\/p>\n
316
\n00:19:08,200 –> 00:19:09,600
\nYep.
\nGrowing our own food. <\/p>\n
317
\n00:19:09,700 –> 00:19:12,500
\nThen he could have done Mana,
\nright? <\/p>\n
318
\n00:19:12,500 –> 00:19:15,100
\nI mean none of these are beyond
\nwhat God is able to do. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:19:15,200 –> 00:19:17,800
\nHe could have just had a cow up
\nhere in her room, right? <\/p>\n
320
\n00:19:18,200 –> 00:19:20,500
\nAnd then, you know, oh boy.
\nLook, we have food. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:19:20,600 –> 00:19:23,600
\nLike there are a lot of
\ndifferent things God could have <\/p>\n
322
\n00:19:23,600 –> 00:19:29,800
\ndone, but it’s interesting that
\nhe decides this way, and I tend <\/p>\n
323
\n00:19:29,800 –> 00:19:38,200
\nto think, That it’s because God
\nwants there to be this daily <\/p>\n
324
\n00:19:38,200 –> 00:19:42,200
\nmiracle and he slowly increasing
\nher faith. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:19:42,500 –> 00:19:44,700
\nRight?
\nHere’s here’s the contrast that <\/p>\n
326
\n00:19:45,700 –> 00:19:50,600
\nshe has to go and make food for
\nElijah first before the Miracle <\/p>\n
327
\n00:19:50,600 –> 00:19:54,800
\nWorks.
\nTake the last of what you have. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:19:55,800 –> 00:20:00,100
\nGive it to the prophet and then
\nwe’ll see what happens. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:20:01,400 –> 00:20:04,500
\nThis becomes a daily thing.
\nNow it’s also just intriguing to<\/p>\n
330
\n00:20:04,500 –> 00:20:07,500
\nthink about this when the
\nwoman’s son dies. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:20:09,200 –> 00:20:14,200
\nShe says to Elijah.
\nHave you come to bring my sin to<\/p>\n
332
\n00:20:14,208 –> 00:20:15,700
\nremember?
\nShe blames him. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:20:16,300 –> 00:20:22,300
\nWe’ll get to that a little more.
\nbut, I don’t think we’ve often <\/p>\n
334
\n00:20:22,300 –> 00:20:25,200
\nthought of this.
\nHow do you think your health <\/p>\n
335
\n00:20:25,200 –> 00:20:31,400
\nwould be if for two years all
\nyou ate was flour and oil. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:20:33,100 –> 00:20:36,000
\nI mean I’m diabetic I wouldn’t
\nsurvive right. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:20:36,100 –> 00:20:41,800
\nLike but but if if that’s all
\nyou gave your kid, you can <\/p>\n
338
\n00:20:41,800 –> 00:20:45,100
\nalmost imagine her being like,
\nlook, you know, I appreciate <\/p>\n
339
\n00:20:45,100 –> 00:20:46,600
\nthat.
\nYou kept us alive longer but <\/p>\n
340
\n00:20:47,500 –> 00:20:51,200
\nThis is kind of your fault and
\nin the bigger sense of the thing<\/p>\n
341
\n00:20:51,200 –> 00:20:55,300
\nhadn’t, he caused the drought.
\nSo there’s another question, <\/p>\n
342
\n00:20:55,400 –> 00:20:57,200
\nright?
\nMaybe maybe God performed the <\/p>\n
343
\n00:20:57,208 –> 00:21:02,000
\nmiracle that way in order to
\nlead to the child’s death <\/p>\n
344
\n00:21:02,500 –> 00:21:04,900
\nknowing that Elijah would
\nresurrect the child its <\/p>\n
345
\n00:21:04,900 –> 00:21:06,800
\npossibility.
\nHere’s another thought. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:21:07,700 –> 00:21:09,900
\nHere’s what Elijah says to her,
\ndo not fear. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:21:09,900 –> 00:21:13,100
\nGo and do as you have said, but
\nfirst make me a little cake. <\/p>\n
348
\n00:21:13,200 –> 00:21:16,500
\nNow let’s see if you remember
\nyesterday. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:21:16,500 –> 00:21:22,000
\nWe talked about how Elijah
\nwanted to be like who Yeah, <\/p>\n
350
\n00:21:22,000 –> 00:21:26,500
\nMoses Moses was the big person
\nthat Elijah wanted to be like he<\/p>\n
351
\n00:21:26,500 –> 00:21:28,400
\nwasn’t a big person but you get
\nit. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:21:28,400 –> 00:21:30,800
\nHe really wanted to be like him
\nnow. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:21:32,300 –> 00:21:34,600
\nWho was he actually like
\nscripturally? <\/p>\n
354
\n00:21:35,900 –> 00:21:37,400
\nIsrael.
\nThat’s right. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:21:38,200 –> 00:21:43,500
\nNow again, it’s interesting in
\nthis miracle that God says, I’ll<\/p>\n
356
\n00:21:43,500 –> 00:21:51,200
\ngive you oral and bread oil and
\nflour and Elijah then asks for a<\/p>\n
357
\n00:21:51,208 –> 00:21:55,300
\nlittle cake because it’s almost
\nlike Elijah is recognizing, wait<\/p>\n
358
\n00:21:55,300 –> 00:21:57,900
\na minute.
\nI’m not like Moses. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:21:58,800 –> 00:22:03,300
\nI am like Israel.
\nConsider this this word cake <\/p>\n
360
\n00:22:03,900 –> 00:22:07,600
\ndoesn’t show up very often,
\nalthough interestingly it is the<\/p>\n
361
\n00:22:07,700 –> 00:22:09,800
\nmodern Hebrew word for cake as
\nwell. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:22:09,800 –> 00:22:12,000
\nIt’s it’s a really awesome word.
\nYou’re ready. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:22:12,200 –> 00:22:13,100
\nNow.
\nYou’re all gonna learn how to <\/p>\n
364
\n00:22:13,100 –> 00:22:14,800
\nsay, cake and Hebrew.
\nHere we go. <\/p>\n
365
\n00:22:15,100 –> 00:22:20,300
\nGoes like this.
\nOoh, gah Yeah, so you got so <\/p>\n
366
\n00:22:20,300 –> 00:22:24,500
\nthat is cake, and he Ruth Agha.
\nI actually tried it in Israel. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:22:24,500 –> 00:22:28,000
\nApparently, my accident wasn’t
\nvery good, but I said a new year<\/p>\n
368
\n00:22:28,000 –> 00:22:30,700
\nold say, yoga like I want a
\ncake. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:22:30,800 –> 00:22:35,300
\nAnd anyway, the guy laughed at
\nme but I, then he wouldn’t give <\/p>\n
370
\n00:22:35,300 –> 00:22:37,000
\nit to me, either.
\nHe like he got it. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:22:37,000 –> 00:22:38,400
\nHe got it, ready?
\nYou know? <\/p>\n
372
\n00:22:38,400 –> 00:22:41,000
\nAnd Israel You’re supposed to be
\na little more like forthright. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:22:41,000 –> 00:22:43,200
\nSo maybe that was my, maybe that
\nwas my issue. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:22:43,200 –> 00:22:45,000
\nI was I wasn’t being American
\nenough. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:22:45,300 –> 00:22:49,200
\nSo you know I had to go and say,
\nhey, that’s my Take give it to <\/p>\n
376
\n00:22:49,208 –> 00:22:52,000
\nme and he was like, okay, you
\nknow, you’ve shown that you’re a<\/p>\n
377
\n00:22:52,008 –> 00:22:56,300
\nman.
\nSo so that that kind of thing. <\/p>\n
378
\n00:22:56,400 –> 00:22:59,700
\nSo anyway, that’s that’s cake in
\nHebrew, God. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:23:00,200 –> 00:23:06,600
\nOkay, so it only shows up just a
\nfew times in the Old Testament. <\/p>\n
380
\n00:23:06,700 –> 00:23:09,300
\nOoh, gah it occurs, three times
\nbefore this. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:23:09,300 –> 00:23:11,600
\nLet me show you where Genesis 18
\n6. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:23:11,800 –> 00:23:15,900
\nYou have the story of Abraham
\nand Sarah preparing food for the<\/p>\n
383
\n00:23:15,900 –> 00:23:19,700
\nangels that show up at their
\nhouse and And they make cakes. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:23:20,900 –> 00:23:25,500
\nBut consider this Exodus 12:39
\nthe Israelites make unleavened <\/p>\n
385
\n00:23:25,500 –> 00:23:30,200
\ncakes in The Exodus numbers
\n1811, this is the story of the <\/p>\n
386
\n00:23:30,200 –> 00:23:33,500
\nmanna.
\nThe people make cakes. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:23:33,700 –> 00:23:37,600
\nSo you’ll notice that in two of
\nthe instances out of the three, <\/p>\n
388
\n00:23:37,700 –> 00:23:42,000
\nwhere this word yoga is used
\nbefore the time of Elijah, it’s <\/p>\n
389
\n00:23:42,000 –> 00:23:44,400
\na reference to the Israelites.
\nThat’s just kind of interesting,<\/p>\n
390
\n00:23:44,400 –> 00:23:47,900
\nyou know, Was Elijah thinking
\nrealizing, you know, I’ve been a<\/p>\n
391
\n00:23:47,900 –> 00:23:51,100
\nlittle more like the Israelites
\nactually than Moses, maybe. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:23:51,800 –> 00:23:55,300
\nBut what is intriguing about
\nthis reference is that in <\/p>\n
393
\n00:23:55,308 –> 00:23:57,400
\nnumbers 1811?
\nLet’s just read it. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:23:57,800 –> 00:24:00,400
\nThe people went about and
\ngathered it, that is the Manna <\/p>\n
395
\n00:24:00,800 –> 00:24:03,600
\nand ground it in.
\nAnd Mills or beat it in mortars <\/p>\n
396
\n00:24:03,600 –> 00:24:06,500
\nand boiled it in pots and made
\ncakes of it. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:24:06,500 –> 00:24:10,200
\nAnd the taste of it was like the
\ntaste of cakes baked with oil. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:24:10,600 –> 00:24:13,200
\nWhat do you notice about this?
\nPassage that similar to the <\/p>\n
399
\n00:24:13,200 –> 00:24:19,400
\nElijah story or yeah.
\nYou got oil, right? <\/p>\n
400
\n00:24:19,400 –> 00:24:21,300
\nYou have God’s miraculous
\nprovision. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:24:22,300 –> 00:24:25,500
\nSo, this is a very similar sort
\nof situation. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:24:25,700 –> 00:24:29,000
\nSo it’s just intriguing than
\nthat, Elijah uses the word <\/p>\n
403
\n00:24:29,300 –> 00:24:31,900
\ncakes.
\nKeep in mind as well. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:24:31,900 –> 00:24:34,700
\nThe people had said they were
\nstarving. <\/p>\n
405
\n00:24:35,400 –> 00:24:37,500
\nHave you brought us out in the
\nwilderness to die? <\/p>\n
406
\n00:24:43,300 –> 00:24:48,400
\nAnd it was eaten until the end
\nof that Wilderness time period, <\/p>\n
407
\n00:24:48,900 –> 00:24:50,700
\njust like this woman who would
\nhave eaten it. <\/p>\n
408
\n00:24:50,800 –> 00:24:52,500
\nSo the three and a half years
\nends. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:24:53,200 –> 00:24:55,900
\nSo just interesting that Elijah
\nspecifically uses that word <\/p>\n
410
\n00:24:55,900 –> 00:24:58,600
\ncakes, which connects it back to
\nthe Mana. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:24:59,000 –> 00:25:02,900
\nSo maybe he was starting to
\nrealize starting to recognize, <\/p>\n
412
\n00:25:04,100 –> 00:25:05,700
\nyou know, maybe I’m not the
\nsuperhero. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:25:05,700 –> 00:25:14,800
\nI wanted to be Perhaps, okay.
\nWell, what we do know is that he<\/p>\n
414
\n00:25:14,800 –> 00:25:19,900
\nbegins to change and he is
\nlearning, and this is all really<\/p>\n
415
\n00:25:19,900 –> 00:25:22,500
\ndemonstrated with the Widow’s
\nson. <\/p>\n
416
\n00:25:23,500 –> 00:25:27,600
\nNow, I would put to you that
\nwhen you’re out there living in <\/p>\n
417
\n00:25:27,600 –> 00:25:31,900
\nthe wilderness with birds.
\nFor however, long and you can’t <\/p>\n
418
\n00:25:31,900 –> 00:25:34,800
\ntalk to anybody that doesn’t
\nchange your heart, a whole lot. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:25:34,800 –> 00:25:37,300
\nIn fact, it would probably just
\nkind of make you a little crazy.<\/p>\n
420
\n00:25:40,200 –> 00:25:43,400
\nBut what God then does, you
\nknow, he’s teaching Elijah this <\/p>\n
421
\n00:25:43,400 –> 00:25:45,500
\nlesson that it’s not about law
\nfact. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:25:45,500 –> 00:25:48,100
\nYou’re going to have to break
\nthe law in order to survive with<\/p>\n
423
\n00:25:48,100 –> 00:25:51,400
\nthe Ravens.
\nBut now, he’s going to put <\/p>\n
424
\n00:25:51,400 –> 00:25:55,300
\nElijah in the scenario with the
\nWidow and her son. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:25:56,400 –> 00:25:58,600
\nWhere he has to have a
\nrelationship. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:25:59,200 –> 00:26:00,900
\nThere’s absolutely no way to
\navoid it, right? <\/p>\n
427
\n00:26:00,900 –> 00:26:03,700
\nHe’s living in their house,
\nunless you just said, I’m never <\/p>\n
428
\n00:26:03,700 –> 00:26:05,400
\ngoing to talk to you ever,
\nright? <\/p>\n
429
\n00:26:05,900 –> 00:26:08,200
\nAnd just, you know, walked
\naround like, oh, I can’t see you<\/p>\n
430
\n00:26:08,200 –> 00:26:10,400
\nor something like that, but,
\nbut, you know, that that’s not <\/p>\n
431
\n00:26:10,400 –> 00:26:14,500
\ngoing to happen.
\nSo, God forces this relationship<\/p>\n
432
\n00:26:14,500 –> 00:26:17,700
\nto exist, and it’s interesting
\nthat now he’s going to bring it <\/p>\n
433
\n00:26:17,800 –> 00:26:22,800
\nto this climax.
\nTo say Elijah, have you learned?<\/p>\n
434
\n00:26:24,300 –> 00:26:26,900
\nHave you learned the importance
\nof relationship? <\/p>\n
435
\n00:26:27,900 –> 00:26:30,600
\n1st Kings. 17, 17 18.
\nAfter this, the son of the <\/p>\n
436
\n00:26:30,600 –> 00:26:33,000
\nwoman, the Mistress of the house
\nbecame ill. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:26:33,700 –> 00:26:36,400
\nHis illness was so severe that
\nthere was no breath left in him <\/p>\n
438
\n00:26:36,600 –> 00:26:38,900
\nand she said to Elijah, what
\nhave you against me? <\/p>\n
439
\n00:26:38,900 –> 00:26:43,000
\nOh man, of God, you have come to
\nme to bring my sin to <\/p>\n
440
\n00:26:43,000 –> 00:26:46,000
\nremembrance and to cause the
\ndeath of my son. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:26:46,200 –> 00:26:51,000
\nNow, that’s dramatic already.
\nThere’s actually a number of <\/p>\n
442
\n00:26:51,000 –> 00:26:55,600
\nthings in this story that adds
\nto the drama that I’m not sure <\/p>\n
443
\n00:26:55,600 –> 00:26:59,700
\nwe see.
\nCan you see the woman trying to <\/p>\n
444
\n00:26:59,708 –> 00:27:04,800
\nmake sense of what’s Happening?
\nGod had miraculously provided <\/p>\n
445
\n00:27:04,900 –> 00:27:09,100
\nfor them.
\nWhy did this happen hadn’t? <\/p>\n
446
\n00:27:09,100 –> 00:27:13,700
\nHe saved their life.
\nAnd wasn’t he saving their life <\/p>\n
447
\n00:27:14,000 –> 00:27:16,600
\nevery day through the drought
\nthat this just didn’t make <\/p>\n
448
\n00:27:16,600 –> 00:27:21,100
\nsense.
\nSo you can see her trying to <\/p>\n
449
\n00:27:21,100 –> 00:27:23,500
\nwrestle with, what is it that’s
\ngoing on? <\/p>\n
450
\n00:27:25,400 –> 00:27:26,800
\nThere’s an interesting word here
\nthough. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:27:28,000 –> 00:27:32,500
\nThat I think very much.
\nEmphasizes. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:27:33,600 –> 00:27:39,300
\nThe drama of this event.
\nIn site where their mistress. <\/p>\n
453
\n00:27:41,300 –> 00:27:45,800
\nThe reason that this word
\nunderscores, what’s happening <\/p>\n
454
\n00:27:46,500 –> 00:27:48,100
\nsaid, it’s only use three other
\ntimes. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:27:48,100 –> 00:27:51,600
\nIn all of scripture, this word
\nmistress, let me show you where,<\/p>\n
456
\n00:27:53,000 –> 00:27:57,500
\nFirst, Samuel 28 verse 7.
\nIt says then Saul said to his <\/p>\n
457
\n00:27:57,500 –> 00:28:02,100
\nservants seek out for me a woman
\nwho is a medium that I may go to<\/p>\n
458
\n00:28:02,100 –> 00:28:04,800
\nher and inquire of her.
\nHis servants said to him behold <\/p>\n
459
\n00:28:04,800 –> 00:28:07,400
\nthere’s a medium at end or you
\nwant to guess which word <\/p>\n
460
\n00:28:07,400 –> 00:28:11,500
\nmistress is.
\nIt’s the word medium. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:28:13,000 –> 00:28:17,600
\nNow shows up one other time in
\nthe prophecy of Nahum, Nahum 3 <\/p>\n
462
\n00:28:17,600 –> 00:28:22,800
\nverse 4 in the NIV reads, all
\nbecause of the wanton lust of a <\/p>\n
463
\n00:28:22,808 –> 00:28:25,500
\nprostitute.
\nNow, this is about Nineveh, the <\/p>\n
464
\n00:28:25,500 –> 00:28:30,100
\nGod’s prophecy against Nineveh
\nalluring, the Mistress of <\/p>\n
465
\n00:28:30,100 –> 00:28:34,700
\nsorceries who enslaved Nations
\nby her prostitution and people’s<\/p>\n
466
\n00:28:34,700 –> 00:28:37,900
\nby her witchcraft.
\nThis is God’s prophecy against <\/p>\n
467
\n00:28:37,900 –> 00:28:39,600
\nAssyria.
\nThis is how he describes a <\/p>\n
468
\n00:28:39,600 –> 00:28:42,100
\nSyria.
\nHe says you were the Mistress of<\/p>\n
469
\n00:28:42,100 –> 00:28:47,100
\nsorcery. so, do you notice then
\nwhat this word mistress here, <\/p>\n
470
\n00:28:48,100 –> 00:28:54,900
\nwhat it’s connected to This is
\nall about pagan Worship. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:28:55,600 –> 00:28:57,900
\nIn fact, yeah, Peter you have an
\nidea. <\/p>\n
472
\n00:29:00,700 –> 00:29:02,900
\nYes.
\nNow, pretend you didn’t hear <\/p>\n
473
\n00:29:02,900 –> 00:29:04,700
\nthat because I’m about to say
\nthat in 30 seconds. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:29:06,100 –> 00:29:08,100
\nHuh?
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:29:08,200 –> 00:29:12,600
\nYeah, that’s right.
\nSo this word as Peter, very <\/p>\n
476
\n00:29:12,600 –> 00:29:16,600
\ncorrectly, told us.
\nIt’s Bala, it’s the feminine <\/p>\n
477
\n00:29:16,600 –> 00:29:21,200
\nform of Baal.
\nSo there it is up there. <\/p>\n
478
\n00:29:21,500 –> 00:29:27,700
\nBut Allah, it’s a feminine form
\nof bail. now, that is amazingly <\/p>\n
479
\n00:29:27,700 –> 00:29:34,800
\ntelling because Think about this
\nfrom Elijah’s perspective, <\/p>\n
480
\n00:29:35,600 –> 00:29:41,600
\nElijah was immensely angry at
\nIsrael over, their worship of <\/p>\n
481
\n00:29:41,600 –> 00:29:44,600
\nBaal, and God tells him.
\nAnd this is how we normally <\/p>\n
482
\n00:29:44,600 –> 00:29:47,900
\nunderstand that.
\nGod tells him go up to the land <\/p>\n
483
\n00:29:47,900 –> 00:29:51,300
\nwhere bail is worshipped, right?
\nBut do you ever think about the <\/p>\n
484
\n00:29:51,300 –> 00:29:54,400
\nfact that he doesn’t just go to
\nthe land where bail is <\/p>\n
485
\n00:29:54,400 –> 00:29:59,400
\nworshipped, but God actually
\nbrings him to the house of a <\/p>\n
486
\n00:29:59,408 –> 00:30:03,500
\nwoman.
\nWho is called a bell? <\/p>\n
487
\n00:30:06,600 –> 00:30:10,700
\nThis is a woman who was actively
\ninvolved in Pagan worship. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:30:11,700 –> 00:30:17,500
\nAnd she doesn’t change.
\nFor at least a while. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:30:19,100 –> 00:30:23,000
\nBecause he has to go and live
\nthere and live there and live <\/p>\n
490
\n00:30:23,000 –> 00:30:28,000
\nthere.
\nAnd she’s still that way, until <\/p>\n
491
\n00:30:28,000 –> 00:30:33,300
\nthe point that her son dies.
\nSo, here he is living in this <\/p>\n
492
\n00:30:33,800 –> 00:30:39,700
\nPagan house.
\nWith this woman now can you just<\/p>\n
493
\n00:30:39,700 –> 00:30:43,300
\npicture, Elijah?
\nHe prayed for Israel’s <\/p>\n
494
\n00:30:43,300 –> 00:30:45,600
\ndestruction.
\nWhat do you think? <\/p>\n
495
\n00:30:45,800 –> 00:30:47,400
\nElijah?
\nWould have been praying for <\/p>\n
496
\n00:30:47,400 –> 00:30:50,900
\nabout this woman?
\nAnd can you can you just imagine<\/p>\n
497
\n00:30:50,900 –> 00:30:53,800
\nthat like like a lie?
\nJust typical thoughts, would <\/p>\n
498
\n00:30:53,800 –> 00:30:57,200
\nhave been something along the
\nlines of bring disaster on this <\/p>\n
499
\n00:30:57,200 –> 00:30:59,700
\nwoman because this is what she
\ndeserves. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:31:00,300 –> 00:31:04,000
\nAnd yet what’s amazing is God
\nsays to him, right? <\/p>\n
501
\n00:31:04,000 –> 00:31:06,300
\nThat’s what Elijah probably
\nwould have prayed before, God. <\/p>\n
502
\n00:31:06,500 –> 00:31:07,700
\nHave been teaching him these
\nthings. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:31:09,600 –> 00:31:11,600
\nAnd God says, to him, I want you
\nto go to this woman and I want <\/p>\n
504
\n00:31:11,600 –> 00:31:14,600
\nyou to tell her I’m going to
\nprovide for her. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:31:15,900 –> 00:31:18,800
\nCan you picture him wrestling
\nwith that, what? <\/p>\n
506
\n00:31:20,400 –> 00:31:23,700
\nThis woman was going to die.
\nThat’s what she deserved. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:31:24,000 –> 00:31:24,900
\nShe worshipped.
\nIdols. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:31:26,600 –> 00:31:29,200
\nAnd God says, go to the woman
\nand tell her, I’m going to <\/p>\n
509
\n00:31:29,200 –> 00:31:35,500
\nperform a miracle for her today
\nand tomorrow and the next day <\/p>\n
510
\n00:31:36,400 –> 00:31:41,100
\nI’m going to keep performing
\nmiracles for this by Allah. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:31:43,300 –> 00:31:45,100
\nWhat kind of Crisis?
\nDo you think that would have put<\/p>\n
512
\n00:31:45,100 –> 00:31:47,000
\nElijah in?
\nYou know, how does this make any<\/p>\n
513
\n00:31:47,000 –> 00:31:49,800
\nsense, right?
\nWhat what is it that God’s <\/p>\n
514
\n00:31:49,800 –> 00:31:51,600
\ndoing?
\nWhat does this mean? <\/p>\n
515
\n00:31:54,100 –> 00:31:59,200
\nBut you know what’s interesting?
\nis that when she talks to him, <\/p>\n
516
\n00:32:00,500 –> 00:32:04,200
\nYou can tell that she has been
\nchanged. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:32:05,100 –> 00:32:08,000
\nBy the fact that she was with
\nhim, it’s not interesting. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:32:10,900 –> 00:32:13,800
\nThis is what I think is
\nbeautiful about the way that God<\/p>\n
519
\n00:32:13,800 –> 00:32:20,100
\nworks.
\nGod sees us where we can be, he <\/p>\n
520
\n00:32:20,100 –> 00:32:25,400
\nsees what we can become and
\nthat’s what he works with, what <\/p>\n
521
\n00:32:25,400 –> 00:32:27,600
\nhe calls, those things that are
\nnot as though they are. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:32:28,900 –> 00:32:32,200
\nHe can recognize, I know you’re
\ngoing to get to hear and I’m <\/p>\n
523
\n00:32:32,208 –> 00:32:34,800
\ngoing to be patient as I bring
\nyou there. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:32:36,700 –> 00:32:39,900
\nAnd so he looks at this woman,
\nwho is entrenched in Pagan <\/p>\n
525
\n00:32:39,900 –> 00:32:42,400
\nworship and he says Elijah, I
\nwant you to go be kind to her. <\/p>\n
526
\n00:32:42,700 –> 00:32:48,800
\nI want you to take care of her
\nbecause Slowly every day, she’s <\/p>\n
527
\n00:32:48,800 –> 00:32:51,500
\ngoing to start to change.
\nSo, look at the change. <\/p>\n
528
\n00:32:51,600 –> 00:32:54,100
\nShe comes to Elijah.
\nAnd she says, have you come to <\/p>\n
529
\n00:32:54,100 –> 00:32:56,700
\ncall my sin to repentance like
\nis it? <\/p>\n
530
\n00:32:58,100 –> 00:33:00,000
\nWhat you recognize that?
\nI’m a pagan worship person. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:33:00,000 –> 00:33:02,900
\nNow you’re gonna hit me with
\nthis right? <\/p>\n
532
\n00:33:02,900 –> 00:33:05,200
\nSo she comes and she blames him
\nfirst which you know, on one <\/p>\n
533
\n00:33:05,200 –> 00:33:08,100
\nhand wasn’t true.
\nBut again on another sense they <\/p>\n
534
\n00:33:08,100 –> 00:33:11,900
\nhad eaten flour and oil for days
\nand Elijah had caused the <\/p>\n
535
\n00:33:11,900 –> 00:33:16,200
\ndrought but then there’s a few
\nmore things in her words. <\/p>\n
536
\n00:33:16,600 –> 00:33:19,200
\nHave you come to call my sin to
\nremembrance? <\/p>\n
537
\n00:33:20,000 –> 00:33:21,500
\nBut there’s this acknowledgement
\nthat. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:33:21,700 –> 00:33:27,000
\nOh, actually I I have sinned.
\nNow, let me ask you this next <\/p>\n
539
\n00:33:27,000 –> 00:33:31,300
\nquestion.
\nShe clearly demonstrates Faith. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:33:31,300 –> 00:33:35,900
\nHowever, because why else do you
\nthink she would come to Elijah? <\/p>\n
541
\n00:33:38,600 –> 00:33:44,000
\nYeah, she knows right.
\nShe knows he can do something <\/p>\n
542
\n00:33:44,000 –> 00:33:45,600
\nabout this.
\nNow, that’s crazy. <\/p>\n
543
\n00:33:45,600 –> 00:33:50,000
\nBecause, as we had said, nobody
\nhad ever done this before, <\/p>\n
544
\n00:33:50,500 –> 00:33:53,500
\nright?
\nAnd she says, Elijah. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:33:53,500 –> 00:33:55,800
\nI know you can do something
\nabout it now. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:33:56,100 –> 00:33:59,200
\nNext question, this woman shows
\nup in the New Testament. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:33:59,700 –> 00:34:03,800
\nAnyone know where We know this
\nwas faithful. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:34:04,900 –> 00:34:08,900
\nAnd here’s why.
\nHebrews 11 35. <\/p>\n
549
\n00:34:10,600 –> 00:34:13,600
\nWomen received back there dead
\nby Resurrection. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:34:14,699 –> 00:34:16,400
\nWhat?
\nWomen in the Old Testament <\/p>\n
551
\n00:34:16,400 –> 00:34:18,100
\nreceived their dead by
\nResurrection. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:34:18,600 –> 00:34:26,800
\nIt was this woman and shunammite
\nwhen Elijah raises her, son to <\/p>\n
553
\n00:34:26,800 –> 00:34:31,600
\nwomen there there Hebrews 11 in
\nthe faith chapter so, this <\/p>\n
554
\n00:34:31,600 –> 00:34:36,000
\nwoman, Demonstrated her faith
\nsaid, do you see that <\/p>\n
555
\n00:34:36,000 –> 00:34:39,199
\nprogression here?
\nShe first gets mad at Elijah and<\/p>\n
556
\n00:34:39,199 –> 00:34:44,500
\nsays, what are you doing?
\nAnd then she says, but I do have<\/p>\n
557
\n00:34:44,500 –> 00:34:48,199
\nsinned.
\nAnd then she says, I know you <\/p>\n
558
\n00:34:48,199 –> 00:34:52,000
\ncan do something about this.
\nInteresting. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:34:55,400 –> 00:35:00,400
\nSo what we’re going to see.
\nIs that Elijah has changed. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:35:02,900 –> 00:35:07,300
\nNot only has the woman changed
\nbut he has to so he says give me<\/p>\n
561
\n00:35:07,300 –> 00:35:09,900
\nyour son which you know I mean
\nhe could have done things a <\/p>\n
562
\n00:35:09,908 –> 00:35:13,100
\nlittle better.
\nGive me your son, he took him <\/p>\n
563
\n00:35:13,100 –> 00:35:15,900
\nfrom her arms, carried him, up
\nto the upper chamber where he <\/p>\n
564
\n00:35:15,900 –> 00:35:17,500
\nlodged and laid him on his own
\nbed. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:35:17,500 –> 00:35:21,100
\nBut what I want you to notice
\nis, do you see the new Elijah <\/p>\n
566
\n00:35:21,100 –> 00:35:26,700
\nthere?
\nHe carries him up into the upper<\/p>\n
567
\n00:35:26,700 –> 00:35:30,200
\nchamber where he lodged and laid
\nhim on his own bed. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:35:32,100 –> 00:35:38,500
\nThis is like, a father.
\nSo let’s see. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:35:38,500 –> 00:35:45,300
\nElijah’s change.
\nThis is the only time in <\/p>\n
570
\n00:35:45,300 –> 00:35:49,200
\nscripture where Elijah
\nrepeatedly follows Elijah’s <\/p>\n
571
\n00:35:49,200 –> 00:35:51,400
\nexample.
\nIf I got a chart for you you <\/p>\n
572
\n00:35:51,400 –> 00:35:52,600
\nmight want to take a picture of
\nthis. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:35:55,000 –> 00:35:59,800
\nElijah miraculously multiplies,
\nthe Widow’s oil first king 1714 <\/p>\n
574
\n00:36:00,000 –> 00:36:01,200
\nit.
\nLike she does the same thing. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:36:01,300 –> 00:36:07,000
\nSecond Kings, 4 verse 2.
\nAnd then, throughout the rest of<\/p>\n
576
\n00:36:07,000 –> 00:36:10,000
\nthe record.
\nThese stories parallel state of <\/p>\n
577
\n00:36:10,000 –> 00:36:15,300
\nwoman’s home, the woman’s only
\nson dies, they’re blamed for the<\/p>\n
578
\n00:36:15,300 –> 00:36:19,400
\ndeath He stretches forth himself
\non the child. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:36:21,000 –> 00:36:23,200
\nHe then tries to revive the
\nchild three times. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:36:25,600 –> 00:36:31,500
\nAnd it is ah that was that was
\nnot right. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:36:31,500 –> 00:36:32,200
\nOkay.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:36:32,200 –> 00:36:36,100
\nLet’s now I alright let me push
\nthis another you know, 25 times <\/p>\n
583
\n00:36:36,100 –> 00:36:43,400
\nand will Okay, ha ha ha.
\nAll right, all right. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:36:43,400 –> 00:36:48,200
\nYou ready there?
\nAnd it’s, these are the only two<\/p>\n
585
\n00:36:48,200 –> 00:36:49,800
\nresurrections in the Old
\nTestament. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:36:50,600 –> 00:36:58,000
\nSo what you can see is Elijah
\nrecognizes this was the moment <\/p>\n
587
\n00:36:58,000 –> 00:37:02,300
\nin Elijah’s life.
\nThis is, you know, I want to <\/p>\n
588
\n00:37:02,300 –> 00:37:07,600
\nfollow in the spirit of Elijah.
\nI want to have a double portion <\/p>\n
589
\n00:37:07,600 –> 00:37:10,200
\nof that spirit.
\nThis is the event that I’m going<\/p>\n
590
\n00:37:10,200 –> 00:37:14,300
\nto follow this is the way that I
\nwant to be like Elijah. <\/p>\n
591
\n00:37:16,200 –> 00:37:19,400
\nSo we see that with Elijah.
\nNow, on top of that, we also see<\/p>\n
592
\n00:37:19,400 –> 00:37:23,400
\nthis with the Lord Jesus.
\nSee, if you hear Echoes of the <\/p>\n
593
\n00:37:23,400 –> 00:37:26,600
\nstory.
\nSoon afterward this is Luke 7 <\/p>\n
594
\n00:37:26,600 –> 00:37:30,300
\nverses 11 to 16 soon afterward.
\nHe went to a town called nain <\/p>\n
595
\n00:37:30,700 –> 00:37:33,500
\nand his disciples and a great
\ncrowd went with him as he drew <\/p>\n
596
\n00:37:33,500 –> 00:37:35,200
\nnear to the gate of the Town,
\nBehold. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:37:35,200 –> 00:37:37,100
\nA man who had died was being
\ncarried out. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:37:37,100 –> 00:37:41,200
\nThe only son of his mother and
\nshe was a widow and a <\/p>\n
599
\n00:37:41,200 –> 00:37:44,400
\nconsiderable crowd from the town
\nwas with her when the Lord saw <\/p>\n
600
\n00:37:44,400 –> 00:37:45,700
\nher.
\nHe had compassion on her and <\/p>\n
601
\n00:37:45,700 –> 00:37:50,300
\nsaid to her do not weep Then he
\ncame up and touched the Bier and<\/p>\n
602
\n00:37:50,300 –> 00:37:53,200
\nthe bear Stood Still.
\nHe said, young, man, I say to <\/p>\n
603
\n00:37:53,200 –> 00:37:57,200
\nyou arise, the dead man sat up
\nand began to speak and Jesus <\/p>\n
604
\n00:37:57,200 –> 00:38:00,200
\ngave him to his mother, fear
\nseized them all. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:38:00,200 –> 00:38:04,000
\nAnd they glorified God saying a
\ngreat prophet has arisen Among <\/p>\n
606
\n00:38:04,000 –> 00:38:08,700
\nUs and God has visited his
\npeople to consider the parallels<\/p>\n
607
\n00:38:08,700 –> 00:38:12,800
\nhere between Elijah and Christ.
\nIn fact, it’s not just <\/p>\n
608
\n00:38:13,000 –> 00:38:16,600
\nsimilarities and what happens,
\nbut it’s actually quotations in <\/p>\n
609
\n00:38:16,600 –> 00:38:19,700
\nthe Greek.
\nSo you have this here, Kaya <\/p>\n
610
\n00:38:19,700 –> 00:38:21,700
\ngoneto.
\nThis is the words and it <\/p>\n
611
\n00:38:21,700 –> 00:38:23,300
\nhappened.
\nBoth stories start with that <\/p>\n
612
\n00:38:23,300 –> 00:38:24,800
\nphrase in the Greek and it
\nhappened. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:38:25,000 –> 00:38:28,800
\nObviously, the Kings record
\nwould be in the Septuagint, not <\/p>\n
614
\n00:38:28,800 –> 00:38:34,000
\nin the Hebrew.
\nIt’s the only time that a <\/p>\n
615
\n00:38:34,100 –> 00:38:38,900
\nWidow’s son is raised in the Old
\nTestament in the New Testament. <\/p>\n
616
\n00:38:40,100 –> 00:38:43,400
\nIt’s the first resurrection in
\nthe old and the New Testament, <\/p>\n
617
\n00:38:44,000 –> 00:38:48,600
\nthe sun is an only child They
\nare moved with compassion and <\/p>\n
618
\n00:38:48,600 –> 00:38:52,500
\npity.
\nThat’s a new one for Elijah move<\/p>\n
619
\n00:38:52,500 –> 00:38:56,300
\nwith compassion and pity.
\nThey connect with the dead. <\/p>\n
620
\n00:38:56,300 –> 00:38:59,200
\nElijah laying on top of him?
\nLord, Jesus touching the beer. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:39:02,400 –> 00:39:06,600
\nThat phrase and delivered him to
\nhis mother, his word for word, <\/p>\n
622
\n00:39:06,600 –> 00:39:11,700
\nthe same in the Greek.
\nFirst, king 1723, Luke 715 in <\/p>\n
623
\n00:39:11,700 –> 00:39:15,900
\nother words, Luke, when writing,
\nthis decides, to quote, the <\/p>\n
624
\n00:39:15,900 –> 00:39:20,800
\nstory of Elijah.
\nAnd then recognized as a profit <\/p>\n
625
\n00:39:20,800 –> 00:39:22,200
\nfor the work.
\nThere you go. <\/p>\n
626
\n00:39:22,200 –> 00:39:29,100
\nThat’s the end.
\nThere’s Elijah and Christ. <\/p>\n
627
\n00:39:29,100 –> 00:39:32,100
\nNow, what’s fascinating about
\nthis is, in fact, the Lord Jesus<\/p>\n
628
\n00:39:32,100 –> 00:39:36,400
\ndoes it twice.
\nHe this this record is so <\/p>\n
629
\n00:39:36,400 –> 00:39:40,200
\nemblematic of who Elijah is that
\nthe Lord follows it two times. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:39:40,400 –> 00:39:45,200
\nSo he does it here in nein and
\nthen he does it again with the <\/p>\n
631
\n00:39:45,200 –> 00:39:47,100
\nsyrophoenician woman and her
\ndaughter. <\/p>\n
632
\n00:39:47,500 –> 00:39:50,900
\nSo see if you here.
\nElijah again, Matthew 15 21 to <\/p>\n
633
\n00:39:50,908 –> 00:39:53,600
\n28, Jesus went away from there
\nand withdrew to the district of <\/p>\n
634
\n00:39:53,600 –> 00:39:56,800
\nTyre and sidon and behold a
\nCanaanite woman from that <\/p>\n
635
\n00:39:56,800 –> 00:39:58,200
\nregion.
\nCame out and was crying. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:39:58,400 –> 00:40:02,300
\nHave mercy on me O Lord son of
\nDavid my daughter is severely <\/p>\n
637
\n00:40:02,300 –> 00:40:05,000
\noppressed by a demon.
\nBut he did not answer her a <\/p>\n
638
\n00:40:05,008 –> 00:40:07,700
\nword.
\nYeah, here. <\/p>\n
639
\n00:40:07,700 –> 00:40:12,600
\nElijah a little bit.
\nHe did not answer her a word. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:40:13,600 –> 00:40:16,300
\nHis disciples came and begged
\nhim saying, send her away for <\/p>\n
641
\n00:40:16,300 –> 00:40:18,600
\nshe is crying out after us.
\nHe answered. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:40:18,600 –> 00:40:21,100
\nI was sent only to the lost
\nsheep of the House of Israel, <\/p>\n
643
\n00:40:21,300 –> 00:40:24,500
\nbut she came and knelt before
\nhim saying Lord help me. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:40:25,200 –> 00:40:27,800
\nAnd he answered it is not right
\nto take the children’s bread and<\/p>\n
645
\n00:40:27,800 –> 00:40:29,600
\nthrow it to the dogs.
\nShe said yes. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:40:29,600 –> 00:40:32,400
\nLord, yet even the dogs.
\nEat the crumbs that fall from <\/p>\n
647
\n00:40:32,400 –> 00:40:35,400
\ntheir master’s table.
\nJesus answered her, a woman. <\/p>\n
648
\n00:40:36,100 –> 00:40:39,500
\nGreat is your faith be done for
\nyou. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:40:39,500 –> 00:40:43,000
\nIs you desire and her daughter
\nwas healed, instantly. <\/p>\n
650
\n00:40:43,100 –> 00:40:45,500
\nYeah.
\nSo, here’s the parallels in this<\/p>\n
651
\n00:40:45,500 –> 00:40:51,300
\nrecord.
\nThey’re both in sidon only time.<\/p>\n
652
\n00:40:51,300 –> 00:40:55,400
\nThe Lord Jesus goes up to sidon.
\nSo, same location. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:40:55,900 –> 00:40:58,500
\nThe woman is an idolater she
\ncalled a Canaanite. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:41:01,100 –> 00:41:04,200
\nShe asks on behalf of an only
\nchild, maybe, you know, we don’t<\/p>\n
655
\n00:41:04,200 –> 00:41:06,300
\nreally know if it’s This Woman’s
\nonly child, but we’re not told <\/p>\n
656
\n00:41:06,300 –> 00:41:10,300
\nabout any others.
\nSupposed to provide food for <\/p>\n
657
\n00:41:10,300 –> 00:41:13,400
\nIsrael.
\nFirst And it’s noted as an <\/p>\n
658
\n00:41:13,400 –> 00:41:17,100
\nexample of faith.
\nOkay, that’s the end. <\/p>\n
659
\n00:41:19,100 –> 00:41:20,500
\nNow I’ll give you one other two
\non. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:41:22,400 –> 00:41:23,900
\nThere’s not, there’s not going
\nto be slides for this. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:41:23,900 –> 00:41:26,700
\nBut, you know, it’s always fun
\nto have some homework Acts <\/p>\n
662
\n00:41:26,700 –> 00:41:30,600
\nchapter 10 with Peter.
\nYou remember sheet comes down <\/p>\n
663
\n00:41:30,600 –> 00:41:32,100
\nfull of unclean animals.
\nLord. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:41:32,100 –> 00:41:33,600
\nI’ve never eaten anything
\nunclean. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:41:33,800 –> 00:41:40,400
\nRemind you of somebody.
\nThen he’s told go up to <\/p>\n
666
\n00:41:40,400 –> 00:41:44,000
\ncaesarea, you know, where that
\nhappens to me, it’s in the area <\/p>\n
667
\n00:41:44,000 –> 00:41:47,200
\nof sidon, and I want you to meet
\nwith Cornelius. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:41:47,200 –> 00:41:51,700
\nWho is a gentile?
\nAnd Peter says the Lord has told<\/p>\n
669
\n00:41:51,700 –> 00:41:55,300
\nme.
\nNot to call any man unclean. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:41:57,200 –> 00:42:03,600
\nThink about it.
\nSo this instance becomes the <\/p>\n
671
\n00:42:03,600 –> 00:42:07,200
\ndefining moment of the life of
\nElijah, which is amazing. <\/p>\n
672
\n00:42:07,200 –> 00:42:10,600
\nBecause if somebody were to have
\nasked you before this week, what<\/p>\n
673
\n00:42:10,600 –> 00:42:12,800
\nwas the most important?
\nMost amazing thing Elijah ever <\/p>\n
674
\n00:42:12,800 –> 00:42:13,500
\ndid.
\nWhat you think? <\/p>\n
675
\n00:42:13,500 –> 00:42:15,700
\nYou’d say?
\nProbably Mount Carmel. <\/p>\n
676
\n00:42:15,700 –> 00:42:19,800
\nRight?
\nBut that’s not what we’re told <\/p>\n
677
\n00:42:19,800 –> 00:42:23,600
\nis the moment.
\nThe moment. <\/p>\n
678
\n00:42:24,900 –> 00:42:30,600
\nIs the day when Elijah cares
\nabout this woman? <\/p>\n
679
\n00:42:32,500 –> 00:42:41,200
\nWhen he has compassion on her.
\nSo God is teaching Elijah. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:42:42,500 –> 00:42:46,600
\nAbout the power of relationship.
\nVersus the power of Miracles. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:42:47,800 –> 00:42:49,400
\nIt’s not about doing something
\namazing. <\/p>\n
682
\n00:42:50,200 –> 00:42:51,600
\nIt’s not about changing the
\nworld. <\/p>\n
683
\n00:42:53,200 –> 00:42:57,800
\nIt’s about people.
\nThat’s what God cares about <\/p>\n
684
\n00:42:57,900 –> 00:42:59,300
\nbecause God can change the
\nworld. <\/p>\n
685
\n00:42:59,700 –> 00:43:02,500
\nHe could just do it right now if
\nhe wants, but instead, what he’s<\/p>\n
686
\n00:43:02,500 –> 00:43:05,800
\ndecided to do is he says, I want
\nyou to give of yourself, I want <\/p>\n
687
\n00:43:05,800 –> 00:43:08,200
\nyou to feel compassion to other
\npeople. <\/p>\n
688
\n00:43:10,100 –> 00:43:18,300
\nSo Elijah had to have everything
\nturned around. so, here’s the <\/p>\n
689
\n00:43:18,300 –> 00:43:22,300
\nmoment.
\nNow Elijah could have condemned <\/p>\n
690
\n00:43:22,300 –> 00:43:25,200
\nthe woman.
\nShe was still an idolator think <\/p>\n
691
\n00:43:25,200 –> 00:43:28,900
\nabout what she had experienced.
\nGod spoke to her. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:43:30,000 –> 00:43:33,000
\nGod said a prophet is going to
\ncome and she was faithful enough<\/p>\n
693
\n00:43:33,000 –> 00:43:37,000
\nto believe that.
\nBut God had been providing for <\/p>\n
694
\n00:43:37,000 –> 00:43:40,300
\nher every day and she still
\nworship the idols. <\/p>\n
695
\n00:43:40,400 –> 00:43:47,900
\nShe was still a bottle.
\nAh, but what changes her is not <\/p>\n
696
\n00:43:47,900 –> 00:43:49,700
\nthe miracle.
\nIs that interesting? <\/p>\n
697
\n00:43:51,600 –> 00:43:54,300
\nBecause she’d been seeing those
\nMiracles all the time and I <\/p>\n
698
\n00:43:54,300 –> 00:43:56,800
\nwould suggest you, it wasn’t the
\nmiracle that her son was raised.<\/p>\n
699
\n00:44:00,000 –> 00:44:04,100
\nIt was now her someone’s raised,
\nnot by some random stranger. <\/p>\n
700
\n00:44:06,200 –> 00:44:10,800
\nBut it was that her son was
\nraised by someone that she knew.<\/p>\n
701
\n00:44:11,800 –> 00:44:14,500
\nAnd she knew what he stood for.
\nDo you remember what the woman <\/p>\n
702
\n00:44:14,500 –> 00:44:18,200
\nsays after the miracle?
\nShe doesn’t say thank you. <\/p>\n
703
\n00:44:18,600 –> 00:44:20,600
\nI’m so glad to have my family
\nback together. <\/p>\n
704
\n00:44:20,600 –> 00:44:23,700
\nI mean clearly she would have
\nfelt that but the words that we <\/p>\n
705
\n00:44:23,707 –> 00:44:25,100
\nhave recorded you know what they
\nare. <\/p>\n
706
\n00:44:26,600 –> 00:44:32,500
\nNow, I know.
\nThat you are a man of God. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:44:35,100 –> 00:44:39,000
\nWhat?
\nYou don’t think she knew that <\/p>\n
708
\n00:44:39,600 –> 00:44:43,900
\nwhen he said?
\nThe oil is not going to run out.<\/p>\n
709
\n00:44:45,000 –> 00:44:50,900
\nAnd it never did.
\nBut it’s at this point that the <\/p>\n
710
\n00:44:50,908 –> 00:44:54,400
\nrelationship comes together
\nbecause Elijah is going to do <\/p>\n
711
\n00:44:54,400 –> 00:44:57,400
\nsomething, he’s never done for
\nanyone. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:44:59,000 –> 00:45:00,600
\nI’m not talking about raising
\nher son. <\/p>\n
713
\n00:45:03,600 –> 00:45:09,100
\nHere’s what he does.
\nHe said to her, give me your <\/p>\n
714
\n00:45:09,100 –> 00:45:11,700
\nson.
\nHe took him from her arms and <\/p>\n
715
\n00:45:11,700 –> 00:45:13,800
\ncarried him up into the upper
\nchamber where he lodged and laid<\/p>\n
716
\n00:45:13,800 –> 00:45:17,600
\nhim on his own bed.
\nHe cried to the Lord. <\/p>\n
717
\n00:45:19,100 –> 00:45:19,400
\nO.
\nLord. <\/p>\n
718
\n00:45:19,400 –> 00:45:23,600
\nMy God, have you brought
\nCalamity even upon the Widow <\/p>\n
719
\n00:45:23,600 –> 00:45:26,200
\nwith who my sojourn by killing
\nher son? <\/p>\n
720
\n00:45:27,200 –> 00:45:30,400
\nThen he stretched himself upon
\nthe child three times and cried <\/p>\n
721
\n00:45:30,400 –> 00:45:33,300
\nto the Lord O.
\nLord, my God, let this child’s <\/p>\n
722
\n00:45:33,300 –> 00:45:35,000
\nlife.
\nCome into him again now. <\/p>\n
723
\n00:45:38,000 –> 00:45:39,900
\nDo you think that this was all
\ntotally silent? <\/p>\n
724
\n00:45:40,800 –> 00:45:43,400
\nOr do you think there was a
\nwoman waiting? <\/p>\n
725
\n00:45:44,900 –> 00:45:48,000
\nShe could hear this, right?
\nI mean, this isn’t Elijah just <\/p>\n
726
\n00:45:48,000 –> 00:45:52,500
\nsaying Oh, Lord.
\nPlease fix things. <\/p>\n
727
\n00:45:52,800 –> 00:45:56,600
\nIt says he cried out there was a
\nwoman you know, often another <\/p>\n
728
\n00:45:56,600 –> 00:46:01,500
\nroom hearing O Lord my God why
\ndid this happen? <\/p>\n
729
\n00:46:02,100 –> 00:46:04,200
\nYou know.
\nAnd and she’s realizing this <\/p>\n
730
\n00:46:04,400 –> 00:46:06,300
\nthis guy actually cares about
\nus. <\/p>\n
731
\n00:46:08,300 –> 00:46:10,200
\nLook at what he’s doing, listen
\nto what he’s saying. <\/p>\n
732
\n00:46:12,800 –> 00:46:16,700
\nNow.
\nThe boys in his bed. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:46:17,800 –> 00:46:19,200
\nAnd he stretches himself out on
\nhim. <\/p>\n
734
\n00:46:21,600 –> 00:46:28,200
\nWhy do you think he did that?
\nAnd I think that shows us Elijah<\/p>\n
735
\n00:46:28,200 –> 00:46:31,900
\nhas changed.
\nHe didn’t need to, you know, <\/p>\n
736
\n00:46:32,100 –> 00:46:35,600
\nagain like Miracles Jesus was
\nable to heal people, like not <\/p>\n
737
\n00:46:35,600 –> 00:46:38,400
\neven being in the same general
\narea as them. <\/p>\n
738
\n00:46:38,600 –> 00:46:40,900
\nRight.
\nThere was no need to lay on top <\/p>\n
739
\n00:46:40,900 –> 00:46:44,400
\nof the boy and in fact, I think
\nElijah. <\/p>\n
740
\n00:46:45,200 –> 00:46:49,100
\nWell, it’s 1003, I got real
\nexcited. <\/p>\n
741
\n00:46:49,100 –> 00:46:53,300
\nOkay, here we go.
\nWe’ll end it with this man. <\/p>\n
742
\n00:46:53,300 –> 00:46:57,000
\nI always keep track of time.
\nWow, I must have really been <\/p>\n
743
\n00:46:57,100 –> 00:46:58,200
\nexcited.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n
744
\n00:47:01,700 –> 00:47:03,600
\nIf you touched a dead body, what
\nhappened to you? <\/p>\n
745
\n00:47:04,900 –> 00:47:07,300
\nYou’re unclean.
\nElijah puts a dead body in his <\/p>\n
746
\n00:47:07,300 –> 00:47:10,800
\nbed and then lays on top of it,
\nright? <\/p>\n
747
\n00:47:11,100 –> 00:47:14,600
\nSo not only is this bed unclean.
\nHe is unclean, he didn’t need to<\/p>\n
748
\n00:47:14,607 –> 00:47:17,500
\ndo that.
\nBut he did. <\/p>\n
749
\n00:47:19,000 –> 00:47:23,000
\nAnd I think he did it.
\nBecause that’s how much he <\/p>\n
750
\n00:47:23,000 –> 00:47:27,600
\ncared.
\nHe was so desperate to do <\/p>\n
751
\n00:47:27,600 –> 00:47:32,600
\nanything to change the situation
\nthat he says, I don’t care if I <\/p>\n
752
\n00:47:32,607 –> 00:47:35,000
\nget unclean.
\nI don’t care if I break the law.<\/p>\n
753
\n00:47:35,200 –> 00:47:39,200
\nI love this boy.
\nHas he been living there? <\/p>\n
754
\n00:47:39,500 –> 00:47:43,800
\nIt was like a son and so he
\nprays bring his life back and <\/p>\n
755
\n00:47:43,800 –> 00:47:45,500
\nElijah’s not even knowing what
\nhe’s doing. <\/p>\n
756
\n00:47:45,600 –> 00:47:49,400
\nJust lays on the boy thinking,
\nmaybe this will do something. <\/p>\n
757
\n00:47:51,600 –> 00:47:59,600
\nand that woman, Realizes this.
\nThis is what the god of Israel. <\/p>\n
758
\n00:48:00,600 –> 00:48:07,500
\nIs all about the God of Israel.
\nIs about relationship. <\/p>\n
759
\n00:48:08,400 –> 00:48:10,600
\nIt doesn’t mean that he’s always
\ngoing to bring life. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:48:10,900 –> 00:48:15,300
\nDoesn’t mean that he’s always
\ngoing to save, but it means is <\/p>\n
761
\n00:48:15,300 –> 00:48:23,500
\nthat we sure are going to try.
\nSo, Elijah begins to change. <\/p>\n
762
\n00:48:24,900 –> 00:48:28,400
\nAnd that change becomes the
\ndefining moment of his life. <\/p>\n
763
\n00:48:30,100 –> 00:48:34,400
\nIt’s not caramel, it’s not the
\nfire from heaven, it’s the time <\/p>\n
764
\n00:48:34,400 –> 00:48:39,800
\nthat he looked at a boy.
\nAnd said, I love that boy, and <\/p>\n
765
\n00:48:39,800 –> 00:48:43,100
\nI’m gonna do everything I can.
\nTo save him. <\/p>\n
766
\n00:48:44,300 –> 00:48:47,100
\nThat is the spirit of Elijah.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
