Yeah, because 13 00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:33.920 if you're listening, then you don't understand Chris is. 14 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.200 Half the many now that he was on that video. 15 00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:38.479 Yeah, I'm probably thirty pounds later that I am on 16 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:39.200 the video. 17 00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.039 And you are too, Yeah, I'm fifty five pounds later. 18 00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.399 Well then that video, Yeah wow, that's awesome.

So it might be time? 21 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.719 All right? Oh hey, Today on the Bible Guys, we 22 00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:57.880 are starting with a segment that Desiree has put together 23 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.679 called would You Rather? Which is another wonderful segment. 24 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.560 I like the wood you Rather, although unfortunately for Chris, 25 00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:07.040 this is normally when we would do what would make 26 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:09.200 you mad? This week? What made Chris mad? This week? So? 27 00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:10.760 What made Chris mad this week very quickly. 28 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.200 The fact that we didn't have it? What made Chris week? Okay, 29 00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:16.480 that's actually not true. I get mad. 30 00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.680 Yeah yeah, well we all are. We're all upset about 31 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:20.439 it because it's our favorite. 32 00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:21.519 What made Jeff mad? 33 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.680 This the fact that we didn't have what made Chris mad? 34 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.159 Is there you go? So it? Would you rather? 35 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:28.239 Yes? I think the first one? 36 00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.680 Okay, would you rather live in a world where gravity 37 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.640 is half as strong or where it randomly increases by 38 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:35.719 ten times every day? Oh? 39 00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:39.599 I think that there's no question here which is it 40 00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:39.879 for you? 41 00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:40.760 Half as strong? 42 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.120 Of course? Yeah, everybody wants to live. 43 00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.599 On the moon absolutely, man. Besides that, you get to 44 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.200 jump higher, you get to lift heavy things. They'd be 45 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:48.760 great when. 46 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.000 They were on the moon and the cables pulled them up. 47 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.599 Remember when they were jumping it was cables. 48 00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:59.040 Oh on the movie set, the fake moon landing. 49 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:04.799 I'm being conspiracy yeah, yeah, yeah, being funny, right, But yes, 50 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.080 I would definitely rather. I mean, come on, randomly. First 51 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.960 of all, you can't predict that rightly it increases by 52 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:11.800 ten times. 53 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.840 You couldn't move, yes, you wouldn't be able to move. No, 54 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:16.960 you would literally crush your bones. 55 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.199 Yeah, it was rather a fun or die. 56 00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.800 Yeah, I'm gonna have fun, fun, find my thing all right? 57 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.439 Number two?

Huh, it would be a parrot. Yeah, 87 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.719 I mean you could eventually kill all one mosquito. 88 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:40.400 Oh, I would do it. 89 00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:43.800 What you would do the mosquitos?

Well, I guess you could kill the parrot too, 94 00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:55.039 but it does. 95 00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:58.400 Wow, Now you're getting gruesome. 96 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:03.560 Well, I mean it's from killing a hundred mosquitoes, is it. 97 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.840 It's not. I can kill a hundred mosquitoes.

Okay, Okay, I don't kill 106 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:29.839 baby deer, by the way. 107 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.839 Okay, well you know it sounds like you do. 108 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.720 Yeah. Well, okay, number four, I's hungry. 109 00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.199 Would you rather never be able to laugh again, Holy Christmas. 110 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.000 Or never be able to stop laughing even in a 111 00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:44.199 serious situation. 112 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.560 Oo, that is a tough one. It's a serious situation, 113 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.199 serious situation, definitely, that's right. 114 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:54.319 That is really a tough one. That is like a 115 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:55.319 curse either way. 116 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:59.040 Never be able to stop laughing or never laugh again. 117 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:07.319 Oh now I'm assuming it doesn't mean doesn't mean continually. 118 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.519 Never be able to stop laughing. It sounds pretty continual 119 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:11.759 to me. 120 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.560 I think that that would hurt you because sometimes you 121 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.639 laugh until it hurts, Yeah, like it hurts your cheeks 122 00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.240 and everything. Yeah, so I'd have to pick never to 123 00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:20.800 laugh again? 124 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.040 Yeah, then never laugh again is the physical act of laughing. 125 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.839 But it doesn't say that you're not amused, or that 126 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:29.279 you don't think something is funny, or that you're not delighted. 127 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.120 So you can look at your friends and say, uh, 128 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:33.480 that's hysterically on the inside. 129 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:34.560 That's hysterical. 130 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.879 That's hysterical. Yeah yeah, you may not know it, but 131 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:41.439 that was hilarious. Yeah. So yeah, I guess you have 132 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.079 to choose that. But what a sad existence? 133 00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.720 Yeah, that'd be rough. Yeah. Would you rather live in 134 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.360 a world where your thoughts are always projected on your 135 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.920 forehead for everyone to see, or a world where your 136 00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:55.240 every move is narrated by Morgan Freeman. Well that's a 137 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:56.160 no brainer as. 138 00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:01.560 Well, of course, Morgan Freeman. Yes, yeah, definitely, because first 139 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:02.040 of all. 140 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.480 And then he walks to the kitchen sink. 141 00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:09.720 Right, there's a there's a it doesn't matter you know what, 142 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:13.480 I think. I think that your thoughts projected on your 143 00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:17.199 forehead for everyone to see the majority of the time, 144 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:20.000 that wouldn't be a bad thing. But there are thoughts. 145 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:21.360 They don't have to be bad thoughts. They don't have 146 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.519 to be sinful thoughts, but there are thoughts where you 147 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.439 have you don't want people to see. They might they 148 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:31.079 not be sinful, but like you may say, like, oh, 149 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:32.519 this guy didn't take a shower next to me on 150 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:33.040 the subway. 151 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:35.759 Okay, well that's just that should be a nice frame 152 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.920 to know, Hey you should take your shower. Just look 153 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:41.480 at him. 154 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:43.319 Yeah that's terrible. 155 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:44.240 No, that's terrible. 156 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.800 No. Well, and then there are thoughts that you have 157 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:47.720 that you can't control. 158 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.839 So that's correct. Yeah, yeah, that goes Morgan Freeman. But 159 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.240 then Morgan Freeman is just saying out loud everything you're doing. 160 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.399 But he doesn't say. It says your every move, not 161 00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:58.120 your every thought. 162 00:06:58.319 --> 00:06:59.920 Yes, but it's every move. 163 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:00.920 Yes. 164 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:02.560 Yeah. And he just droked his beard and he just 165 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.839 put his hand down, he just touched his phone. Yes, 166 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.600 that drives me nuts. Yeah yeah, yeah, sure, Okay, well 167 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.959 hey those were crazy ones, man. Yeah, and uh, you know, 168 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.079 I'll rethink them. One hundred mosquitos versus the parrot thing. 169 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:16.959 Yeah, well, I mean, let me. 170 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:18.240 Work on it. Let me work back that. 171 00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:19.439 You said you want to kill a parrot. 172 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:21.920 I didn't say I want to kill a parrot. You did, No, 173 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:23.800 I didn't. I was just saying I wanted to kill 174 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:25.639 a hundred mosquitos. That's the one I chose. What I 175 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:27.600 heard was, and I was I was assuming I wasn't 176 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:28.480 allowed to kill a parrot. 177 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.240 But I heard you is you changed your voice and 178 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:37.040 went killed the parrot. Yeah. 179 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:41.600 Well, in First King's Chapter twenty one, they don't kill 180 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:44.439 a parrot, but they do steal a vineyard. 181 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.079 My gosh, I don't know how about this one. How 182 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:50.720 about this one? 183 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.759 I don't know how about this one? They killed they 184 00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:54.879 killed a vineyard owner. 185 00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.160 Oh there you go. Okay, just just just like your 186 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:02.360 faced with killing a parrot or mosquitoes. We are faced 187 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:05.079 with the inevitable death of a man named Nabeth who 188 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:05.680 owned a vineyard. 189 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:06.519 Two. There you go. 190 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:08.079 Okay, there's the terrible transition. 191 00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:12.560 Okay, that's rough. This one is somewhat graphic. 192 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:17.160 Yeah, this this story, the ending prophecy part of it. 193 00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.519 This is a rough one, yes, if I remember correctly. Yeah. 194 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.279 So we're going to read first King's chapter twenty one 195 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.639 and a read this one. Now. There was a man 196 00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:28.639 named Naboth from Jezreel who owned a vineyard in Jezreel 197 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:32.080 beside the palace of King Ahab of Samaria. One day, 198 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:34.840 Ahab said the Naboth, since your vineyard is so convenient 199 00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:36.720 to my palace, I'd like to buy it to use 200 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.679 as a vegetable garden. I'll give you a better vineyard 201 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.720 in exchange, or if you prefer, I'll pay you for it. 202 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:44.799 But Naboth replied, the Lord forbid that I should give 203 00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.519 you the inheritance that was passed down by my ancestors. 204 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:51.679 So Ahab went home angry and sullen because of Naboth's answer. 205 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:53.840 King went to bed with his face to the wall 206 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:57.480 and refused to eat. What's the matter, His wife Jezebel 207 00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.679 asked him, what's made you so upset that you're not eating? 208 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.679 I asked Naboth to sell me his vineyard or trade it, 209 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:05.559 but he refused. Ahab told her, are you the king 210 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.480 of Israel or not. Jezebel demanded, get up and eat something, 211 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.000 and don't worry about it. I'll get you Naboth's vineyard. 212 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.960 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, sealed them with 213 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:15.879 his seal, and sent them to the elders and other 214 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:19.039 leaders of the town where Naboth lived. In her letters, 215 00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:22.600 she commanded call the citizens together for fasting and prayer, 216 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:25.399 and give Naboth a place of honor, and then seat 217 00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:27.759 two scoundrels across from him, who will accuse him of 218 00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:30.240 cursing God and the King. Then take him out and 219 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:31.159 stone him to death. 220 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:32.039 What a plan. 221 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:34.679 So the elders and other town leaders followed the instructions 222 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:36.519 Jezebel had written in the letters, and they called for 223 00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:38.960 a fast and put Naboth at a prominent place before 224 00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:41.679 the people. Then the two scoundrels came and sat down 225 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:44.519 across from him, and they accused Naboth before all the people, 226 00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.279 saying he cursed God and the king, so he was 227 00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.759 dragged outside the town and stone to death. The town 228 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.360 leaders then sent word to Jezebel Naboth has been stoned 229 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:55.600 to death. When Jezebel heard the news, she said to Ahab, 230 00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:58.080 you know the vineyard Naboth wouldn't sell you, well, you 231 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.799 can have it now he's dead. So they have immediately 232 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.360 went down to the vineyard of Naboth to claim it. 233 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:06.159 But the Lord said to Elijah, go down to meet 234 00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:08.480 King Ahab of Israel, who rules in Samaria. He'll be 235 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.799 at Naboth's vineyard in Jezrael claiming it for himself. Give 236 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:14.919 him this message. This is what the Lord says. Wasn't 237 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:18.159 it enough that you killed Naboth? Must you rob him too? 238 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.200 Because you have done this, dogs will lick your blood 239 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:24.080 at the very place where they lick the blood of Naboth. So, 240 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:29.200 my enemy, you have found me, Ahab exclaimed to Elijah. Yes, 241 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:31.759 Elijah answered, I have come because you have sold yourself 242 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.559 to what is evil in the Lord's sight. So now 243 00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:36.679 the Lord says, I will bring disaster on you and 244 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.679 consume you. I will destroy every one of your male descendants, 245 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.879 slave and free alike anywhere in Israel. I'm going to 246 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:45.240 destroy your family as I did the family of Jeroboam's 247 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.799 son of kneebap the family Byasha, son of Ahijah, for 248 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.600 you have made me very angry and have led Israel 249 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.919 into sin. And regarding Jezebel, the Lord says, dogs will 250 00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:57.799 eat Jezebel's body at the plot of land in Jezreel. 251 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.639 The members of Ahab's family who died in the city 252 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:02.639 will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in 253 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:05.440 the field will be eaten by vultures. No one else 254 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:07.679 so completely sold himself to what was evil in the 255 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.240 Lord's side, as Ahab did under the influence of his 256 00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:14.360 wife Jezebel. His worst outrage was worshiping idols, just as 257 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:17.080 the Amorites had done the people whom the Lord had 258 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.720 given driven out from the land ahead of the Israelites. 259 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.519 But when AaB heard this message, he tore his clothing, 260 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:25.759 dressed in burlap and fasted. He even slept in burlap 261 00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:29.080 and went about in deep mourning. Then another message came 262 00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:32.960 from Elijah from the Lord. Do you see how Ahab 263 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:35.960 has humbled himself before me? Because he has done this, 264 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:38.480 I will not do what I promised during his lifetime, 265 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.600 it will happen to his sons, I will destroy his dynasty. 266 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:49.559 Who Yeah, well, you know, first of all, wow, what 267 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:53.240 a story. And second of all, isn't it amazing how 268 00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:58.120 God changed his mind because of repentance? 269 00:11:58.279 --> 00:11:59.000 Yeah? 270 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:01.360 Right, We've seen that time and time again in the Bible, 271 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.960 where you know, people have repented and and and God said, Okay, 272 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:10.759 because of your you know, attitude, and you're finally acknowledging me, 273 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.080 and you're coming to me and you're sorry for your 274 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:15.919 sin and you're turning your ways, I'm going to spare 275 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:19.440 you of this condemnation. And in a lot of cases 276 00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:21.600 is what you know, it's a condemnation like this, it's 277 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:26.320 a prophecy, right, And uh, that's pretty amazing actually. So 278 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.120 it just goes to show you the graciousness of God. Right, 279 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:33.360 that's right, because after all, a hab sort of earned it. 280 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:38.279 It says in parentheses, no one, no one has done 281 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.000 evil in the Lord's site as he did under the influence, 282 00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.000 under the influence remember we talked about that the other day, 283 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:51.279 under the influence of his wife Jezebel. Yeah, that's pretty awesome. 284 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:54.960 I mean it's awesome that God, you know, repent or 285 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:59.120 you know, spared them. Hey, so, uh, here's what we 286 00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:05.159 do know. We do know that eventually, and maybe I 287 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:06.519 shouldn't say this, but I don't think we're going to 288 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:10.799 read it. But I think Naybe or excuse me, Aha eventually. 289 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:14.720 Dies and yes, yes, he's not still alive now. Ahab 290 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.399 was eight and fifty seven years before Jesus. 291 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.879 Okay, thank you. I know he's not alive today, but 292 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:25.759 he eventually dies. And then the blood that they his 293 00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:29.480 blood being washed out of his chariot is what I 294 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:34.639 remember was on the exact spot where Nabeth died. And 295 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.679 the blood runs out and the dogs lick it up 296 00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:38.799 right where he died. 297 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:39.799 Yeah. 298 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:41.519 Wow, Yeah, I'm pretty sure. 299 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:43.399 Maybe we'll Yeah, I don't know. 300 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:44.159 Maybe we will. 301 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:46.799 I don't think we will, but now you tipped our hands. 302 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.480 Well, I mean, I don't think we're going to read it. Yeah, 303 00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:51.720 it's not a milestone. It's just a fulfilling of this 304 00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.399 prophecy which comes true. But he says, I'm not going 305 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:57.480 to do it during his lifetime, and it happens to 306 00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:59.879 his sons to destroy the dynasty. But you know what 307 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:04.919 he's wondered about this is that Elijah has more to 308 00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:09.639 say than what we read. So God says, here's what 309 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:11.639 here's what you should tell him. But then Elijah says 310 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.600 more right, So it could be that God didn't record 311 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:19.879 for us all the message that was reserved for a him, 312 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.519 right right, that's that's what that means. Right. 313 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.360 Yeah, there's extra, Yeah, there's extra for sure. So this 314 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:29.679 man Naboth, you know, the king comes over, he lives 315 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.600 next door. King comes over, says hey, I'd love to which. 316 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:34.799 By the way, means Naboth is a prominent man. Yeah, 317 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:39.200 it means he's wealthy. Yep, it means he has you know, influence. 318 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:40.440 It means he's well known. 319 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.720 Ye, well, he owns a vineyard, so well everybody who 320 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:45.679 owns the vineyards rich. Next door to the king, Yeah, 321 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.600 that's next door to the king. And so ahab just 322 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:51.720 comes over and goes, hey, dude, i'd love to buy 323 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:55.360 your land or or I'll give you I'll buy your 324 00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:58.159 land and i'll give you better vineyard than this one. 325 00:14:58.320 --> 00:14:59.360 I just want to I just want to turn it 326 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:01.519 into a vent a vegetable garden. 327 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:02.519 Which is a very reasonable offer. 328 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:05.639 Yeah, it wasn't unreasonable. But then you don't have to 329 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:07.240 do what you don't want to do and in this 330 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:09.679 in this situation, nay Both says, you know what, I 331 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.039 inherited it. All my family memories are here, generation after 332 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.360 generation after generation. It means more to me than the 333 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.000 money or just having another thing. And sometimes, you know, 334 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.159 we tend to project our own values on others. So 335 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:27.679 in his mind, a fancier thing, you know, Ahab's mind, 336 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:30.279 a fancier vineyard to be better than this vineyard. Right, 337 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:34.279 and nay Both goes, no, all my memories are here. Well, 338 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.399 i'll give you a bunch of money. Now, I don't 339 00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:38.200 want any money. Right, so you can tell what that 340 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:42.440 what motivated Ahab versus what motivates n Both and Aboth 341 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:45.200 is saying, no, you know this is my family and 342 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:46.840 I inherited and I'm not going to and I'm rich. 343 00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:47.639 I'm rich enough. 344 00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:50.240 I don't need to write. I'm happy. I'm content. This 345 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:52.919 is my happy place, and I'm not going to sell 346 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:54.600 it to you. I'm not going to trade it. So 347 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:58.519 then he goes home. Ahab goes home, and he's pouting. Now, 348 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:01.559 he turns his face to the wall in bed. He 349 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:03.919 won't talk to Jezebell, he won't talk to nobody, and 350 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.399 he's just feeling grumpy and poudy, and she's like, are 351 00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:09.440 you the king or not? It's kind of man up right, 352 00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:12.600 And this is one of those hints of how controlling 353 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:15.159 she was and then and how. 354 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.240 And how much he was. Uh, you know he cowers 355 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:20.919 in her presence, Yeah, because he doesn't even ask her 356 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:23.559 what she's up to, but he probably knows it's probably 357 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:24.840 not good, but. 358 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:26.120 It's going to work out for me. I'm gonna get 359 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:26.480 what I want. 360 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:27.519 So he doesn't react. 361 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:29.360 Yeah, I don't. I don't want to know how she 362 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:31.000 does her business right right. 363 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.799 Right, because she says, hey, go claim it. It's yours. 364 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:36.879 And it's almost as if he's like, oh, thank you, Jesseebell. Hey, 365 00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:38.080 good thing. I don't have to worry about that. 366 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.279 Yeah, he doesn't even ask, oh really, how did Nabov die? Right? 367 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:46.120 Don't don't ask, don't ask, don't tell. And so you know, boy, 368 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:51.080 she's just a canniver. She she sets up Naboth has 369 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:54.320 some scoundrels that calls him scoundrels come in what a 370 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.320 what a descriptive word? I love the word scoundrel right 371 00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:59.799 for sure? You know what I think those scoundrels I 372 00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:02.399 think of some of the characters from the Pirates of 373 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:06.079 the Caribbean. Oh yeah, some of the scoundrels, those guys. Yeah, 374 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:07.440 they their dirty. 375 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:08.359 Yeah. 376 00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:14.200 Hey he talked bad about God and the king, right, yes. 377 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:17.359 But what's amazing is how corrupt the government is. Because 378 00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:21.640 these government leaders don't stop it either, they don't find 379 00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:25.680 another way, right, they just they're complicit in her evil. 380 00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:28.839 Then that's what happens is evil leaders that are corrupt 381 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:32.720 tend to wind up promoting evil, corrupt people, and then 382 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:37.039 the whole society struggles. Corruption is just one of the 383 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:40.359 devastating things in the world. And nobody stands up to her. 384 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:45.039 She They're afraid, and so they kill off Naboth. It's 385 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:47.440 such a sad, said end for Naybo. 386 00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:51.000 But so it looks like here according to this. That's 387 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:53.440 why we like the Life Application Study Bible because it 388 00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:58.319 has so many things, you know, notes and studies and 389 00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:02.119 other information across references, but also sometimes it has maps 390 00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:04.559 and graphs. And in this case, there's a graph that 391 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:09.359 says that Ahab reigned twenty one years eight and seventy 392 00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:12.720 four BC to eight and fifty three BC, and and 393 00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:15.079 so yeah, this this must have been toward the very 394 00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:19.880 end of his reign, And isn't it amazing, just as 395 00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:23.160 a reminder that Israel are the ten tribes on the 396 00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:27.920 northern side. Judah first of all, all used to be Israel, 397 00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:32.160 right right then, And so Judah and Benjamin, you know, 398 00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:35.039 they're on the southern part, and and pretty much they 399 00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:40.000 were run by godly kings. In fact, even in a 400 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.400 scripture that we just breezed over a couple of days ago, 401 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:47.000
