Remember that was like two years ago. 84 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:01.719 I know, I can't. I can't even be around the 85 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.000 smell of it right now.

I just can't get past it. 93 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:27.360 Yeah. 94 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.480 My least favorite thing in the world is to be 95 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:33.680 sick to my stomach. Yeah, I got you. Would you 96 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:37.160 rather have a free subscription to Netflix or free pizza 97 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.839 supply for the rest of your life? I think both 98 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:41.959 of these are supposed to be for the rest of 99 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:47.399 your life, I would assume. So, yeah, that's a no brainer. 100 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.639 That's uh, yeah, you're going to say pizza pizza. It's 101 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:56.519 a better value, right, it's it's a better value. Yeah, 102 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:58.079 because how much is Netflix. 103 00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:59.959 I don't really care about Netflix. I don't care. 104 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.319 Oh I see, I see, so it's all about what 105 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:04.000 you're getting there. 106 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:06.879 Yeah, I really care a lot about people. 107 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:18.040 Okay, that's hilarious. 108 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.360 Would you rather always have a mullet haircut or a 109 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:29.040 ponytail haircut?

That's kind of cool looking. 112 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:35.560 Well, I think ponytails are more acceptable than mullets.

You preference preference you? 137 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:44.240 Okay, all right, so wrong. 138 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.120 By the way, speaking of preferences, I. 139 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:55.920 Very much prefer the Book of Isaiah over chronicles or 140 00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:00.240 Michael that we've been in and I'm really glad we're back, 141 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:02.759 okay in the in the Book of Isaiah. 142 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.959 Well, so you remember there's all these prophets, yeah, that 143 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.480 are going on. So Micah is during this time. We 144 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.040 just read about Obed coming and it's correct. It's dead 145 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:13.319 O dead? Was it O dead? 146 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:13.680 Yes? 147 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:14.560 Was it O dead? 148 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:16.720 Did I read it wrong? You did? 149 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:18.040 Oh dead? You're right? 150 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.399 By the way, I thought you said Obed twice. 151 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:20.839 I did. 152 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.240 I thought about saying, Jeff, was yesterday? It was yesterday? 153 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.600 But I thought this perverse satisfaction me being wrong. 154 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:30.800 No, no, no, in fact, the opposite is true. Didn't 155 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.160 say anything. But now when you said today, I'm like, 156 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:34.720 I got. 157 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:36.319 You can't let it go in three times, three strikes, 158 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:36.639 you're out. 159 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:37.519 Three strikes, you're out. 160 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:41.319 That's a strong position we're taking dead. Oh dead, yes, yeah. 161 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.000 But anyways, Micah Odeaed, you've got all these guys that 162 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:49.319 have clustered together in this this this era, and Isaiah 163 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:51.959 being you know, God used him to write just a 164 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:56.079 huge prophetic book of so many things. Isaiah's kind of 165 00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.639 the crown jewel of all of these prophets at the time. 166 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:01.199 So we're going to kind of inter secked through Isaiah 167 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:02.879 quite a bit, I think, as we continue to tell 168 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.560 the stories of Israel. But it says here in Isaiah 169 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:07.600 chapter eight, then the Lord said to me, make a 170 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:10.360 large signboard and clearly. 171 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:13.319 Write who appointment we're supposed to be in Isaiah seven. Today. 172 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.240 Oh I'm reading the wrong one. Well, man, I wanted 173 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.240 to read Isaiah eight. Okay, okay, well this is for 174 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:23.360 a has then, yes, this is a message to a 175 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.680 has I totally. I'm super excited about tomorrow. So listen, people, 176 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:28.680 I don't want to I don't want to get away, 177 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:30.720 but he's going to use this. He's going to draw 178 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:31.360 a sign board. 179 00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:32.799 Great job promoting tomorrow. 180 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:34.799 Yeah, he's going to write a sign board. Okay, it's 181 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:36.720 going to be tomorrow, but I can't tell you he's 182 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:40.919 gonna write on it today. So in Isaiah seven, it 183 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:44.919 says when a Has, son of Jotham and grandson of Issiah, 184 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:47.960 was King of Judah, king resident of Syria, and peak 185 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.559 the son of Remaliah, the King of Israel, set out 186 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.600 to attack Jerusalem. However, they were unable to carry out 187 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:55.960 their plan. The news had come to the royal court 188 00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:59.240 of Judah Siria's allied with Israel against us. So the 189 00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:01.320 hearts of the king and people trembled with fear, like 190 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:04.080 trees shaking in a storm. Then the Lord said, Isaiah, 191 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.679 take your son Sheerjaeshab. 192 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:08.559 What wow. 193 00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:10.679 I don't think I ever remember that you nailed it, 194 00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:13.080 though I know, but I didn't. I didn't realize is saya? 195 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:13.759 What were you thinking? 196 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:15.240 Sheb yep? 197 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.679 Okay, and go out and meet King AHAs you will 198 00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:20.519 find him at the end of the aqueduct that feeds 199 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.399 water into the upper pool, near the road leading to 200 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.919 the field where cloth is washed. Tell him to stop worrying. 201 00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:27.919 Tell him he doesn't need to fear the fierce anger 202 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.840 of those two burned out embers, King Resin of Syria 203 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.720 and Picas, son of Roamalaiah. Yes, the kings of Syria 204 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.080 and Israel plotting against him, saying we will attack Judah 205 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:39.759 and capture for ourselves, and then we will install the 206 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:42.759 son of Tabil as Judas king. But this is what 207 00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:45.919 the sovereign Lord says. This invasion will never happen. It 208 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.320 will never take place, for Syria is no stronger than 209 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:51.399 its capital, Damascus, and Damascus is no stronger than its 210 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:54.600 king Resin. As for Israel, within sixty five years, it'll 211 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.440 be crushed and completely destroyed. Israel is no stronger than 212 00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.360 its capital Samaria, and Samaria is no strong Then it's 213 00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.360 King Peka, son of Ramalaiah. Unless your faith is firm 214 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.000 and cannot make you stand firm. Later, the Lord sent 215 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.559 this message to King AHAs. Ask the Lord your God 216 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.279 for a sign of confirmation. A has make it as 217 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:14.559 difficult as you want, as high as heaven or as 218 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:17.759 deep as the place of the dead. But the king refused. No, 219 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:19.320 he said, I will not test the Lord like that. 220 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:23.279 Then Isaiah said, listen, listen, well, you royal family, David. 221 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.519 Isn't it enough to exhaust human patience, Must you exhaust 222 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.519 the patience of my God as well? All right, then 223 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.039 the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look, the 224 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:33.799 Virgin will conceive a child. She will give birth to 225 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.600 a son, and will call him Emmanuel, which means God 226 00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:39.279 is with us. By the time this child is old, 227 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:41.120 not to choose what is right and reject what is wrong, 228 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.080 he'll be eating yogurt and honey. For before the child 229 00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:45.919 is that old, the lands of the two kings you 230 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.240 fear so much will both be deserted. Then the Lord 231 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:52.559 will bring things on you, your nation and your family, 232 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.679 unlike anything since Israel broke away from Judah. He will 233 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.120 bring the king of Assiri upon you. In that day, 234 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.000 the Lord will whistle for the army of southern Egypt 235 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.480 and for the army of Assyria, and they will swarm 236 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.559 around you like flies and bees. And they will come 237 00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.279 in vast hordes and settle in the fertile fields, fertile areas, 238 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.120 and also in the desolate valleys and caves and thorny places. 239 00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:14.840 In that day, the Lord will hire a razor from 240 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:17.799 beyond the Euphrates River the King of Assyria, and use 241 00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:20.440 it to shave off everything your land, your crops, and 242 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:23.039 your people. In that day, a farm will be fortunate 243 00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:26.799 to have a cow and two sheep or goats left. Nevertheless, 244 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:29.000 there will be enough milk for everyone. Because so few 245 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.759 people will be left in the land, they will eat 246 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.120 their fill of yogurt and honey. In that day, the 247 00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:37.120 lush vineyards, now worth one thousand pieces of silver, will 248 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:40.360 become patches of briars and thorns. The entire land will 249 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:42.559 become a vast expanse of briars and thorns, and a 250 00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:46.279 hunting ground overrun by wildlife. No one will go to 251 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:49.240 the fertile hillsides where the gardens once grew, for briars 252 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:51.879 and thorns will cover them. Cattle, sheep and goats will 253 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:57.639 graze there. Oo, boy, talk about a production. Yeah, He's 254 00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:02.919 gonna send a razor. Isn't that the descriptions that God gives. 255 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:06.919 I'm gonna whistle for the army of Southern Egypt, Reggan. 256 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.000 They're going to come in like flies and bees around you, 257 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.080 and then I'm going to send you a razor from 258 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.960 a series just gonna shave your land, take everything from you. 259 00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:18.799 That's pretty pretty tough. 260 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:19.759 Yeah, it is. 261 00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:23.720 I was reading the footnote where it said the virgin 262 00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:26.600 will conceive a child and he will give birth to 263 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:26.960 a son. 264 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.080 He would be the name of Emmanuel, which is God 265 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:29.440 with us. 266 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.600 So this footnote that says the virgin is translated from 267 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.879 a Hebrew word used for an unmarried woman who is 268 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.799 old enough to be married, one who is sexually mature 269 00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:45.480 see Genesis twenty four, Actus chapter twobs or Psalm sixty eight, 270 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:51.159 Proverbs thirty song Solomon chapter one. Some have compared this 271 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:55.320 young woman to Isaiah's young wife and newborn son in 272 00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:58.840 Isaiah chapter eight. This is not likely because she had 273 00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:04.279 already had a child, sheer Jasob, and her second child 274 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:08.679 was not named Emmanuel. Some believe that Isaiah's first wife 275 00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:11.759 may have died and that so this is his second wife, 276 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:14.879 who's more likely. That the prophecy had a double fulfillment, 277 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:17.720 And then it just goes on to talk about that 278 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:20.440 a young woman from the house of AHAs who was 279 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:25.440 not married would marry and have a son before three 280 00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:28.159 years passed, one year for pregnancy and two years for 281 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.000 the child. Old enough to talk, the two invading kings 282 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.919 would be destroyed. And then number two Matthew one twenty 283 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.840 three quotes Isaiah seven fourteen to show further fulfillment of 284 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.559 this prophecy, and a virgin named Mary conceived in bor 285 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:43.600 son Emmanuel, which is the Christ. 286 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:50.840 So this happens sometimes. It happens in Isaiah, happens in 287 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:55.320 a couple of the other prophetic books, Daniel, it happens 288 00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:59.519 in Revelation. Where there are two meanings to a prophecy. 289 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:02.919 Is the early prophecy, right, the direct thing that's being 290 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:07.200 talked about. Then there's also this secondary prophecy about the 291 00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:10.200 end times or about the Messiah or something. So there's two. 292 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:13.279 So in this one when it talks about the virgin, 293 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.799 first off is talking about a young woman that is 294 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:19.320 not yet married. And what he's trying to say is 295 00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:22.080 this is a three year window. She's not yet married, 296 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.320 she's gonna get probably get married, but certainly get pregnant. 297 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:29.840 She's gonna have a baby, so she currently is a virgin. 298 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:32.960 Then she's gonna have a baby that's gonna take about 299 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:36.360 almost a year, and then that baby is going to 300 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:38.559 be able to communicate and sit up and eat yogurt 301 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:40.519 and all those kinds of things. It's about a three 302 00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:43.000 year window. That's what Isaiah is trying to say. Within 303 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.960 three years, God's gonna whistle for Egypt to come up 304 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.559 and wipe you out. God's gonna bring the razor of 305 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:52.639 a Syria in a shavir land. You are going to 306 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:55.440 be overwhelmed within the next three years, which we know 307 00:14:55.559 --> 00:15:00.000 happens in Ah has his life. So that virgin is 308 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.360 not talking about a virgin birth. It's talking about a 309 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:07.000 young woman who's currently a virgin, will get pregnant, have 310 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:11.200 a baby, that baby will be able to communicate. That's 311 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:14.159 probably two years or so and those so you got 312 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.840 about a three year window. But then also it's quoted 313 00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:23.480 later as in Matthew chapter one, also saying that this 314 00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:26.919 was a prophetic thing that eventually there'd be a virgin 315 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:30.639 birth in it with the Messiah as well. And that's 316 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.200 the name Emmanuel, which means God with us. 317 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:35.200 Right, which is cool. 318 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:36.759 Yeah, it's really neat. 319 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:37.360 Yeah. 320 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:39.919 So sometimes it's confusing when you read a story like 321 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:42.960 that and you realize there's two meanings to the same passage, 322 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:47.240 But the Bible does that fairly regularly. The Hebrew language 323 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:51.600 lends itself to having multiple meanings to the same statement. 324 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:55.679 It's why there were so many rabbis. It's why there's 325 00:15:55.879 --> 00:16:01.120 more written about the writings of God by the rabbis 326 00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:03.360 than there are the writings of God. Right is they 327 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:06.919 all have There's so many ways to play with the 328 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:09.960 meanings of words in Hebrew. It's it's it's confusing to 329 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:15.919 us who speak English because our words are a little 330 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.240 bit simpler, like we say love and we meet for 331 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.159 all kinds of stuff, whereas like in those those Middle 332 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:25.360 Eastern languages, they have lots of words. Greek has what 333 00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:28.279 six language, six words, seven words for love. There's there's 334 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:35.360 all these these things for the Israelites. Their Hebrew words, 335 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:37.679 the beginning and the ending of a word kind of 336 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.240 gives a hint as to what it means. Right names 337 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.399 have very specific prophetic meanings all these things. So think 338 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:50.200 about it this way. In David's writings, David says, those 339 00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:52.960 that love God with all their heart, he will give 340 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:56.960 them the desires of their heart. And rabbis understand it 341 00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:00.720 to mean two things. You love out of all your heart, 342 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.200 and He will give you what you want. And you 343 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:05.079 love God with all your heart, and he'll give you 344 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:08.640 the right wants, right right, So he gives you the want, 345 00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:12.319 he gives you the desire of your heart, and then 346 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:15.039 he gives you that desire. So he gave you the desire, 347 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:16.799 and then he gives you what you desire. Right right, 348 00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:20.519 is what that means. That happens a lot in the Bible, 349 00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:25.039 that there's two meanings to the same statement. And it 350 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:28.799 would then translate well for us to understand. This sometimes 351 00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:32.160 happens with prophecies as well. So he's prophesying in the 352 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:35.359 future Jesus, and at the same time, you've got about 353 00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:37.839 three years and you can get wiped out. Right, it's 354 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.160 pretty neat. It's a neat thing. It's hard for English 355 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:44.000 speakers to understand, but it's it's a pretty amazing, amazing thing. 356 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:46.119 And then boy talking about total destruction. 357 00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:49.759 So yeah, yeah, that's that's great. 358 00:17:50.359 --> 00:18:07.960 And and so once again a has is uh uh hello, Chris, Yeah, sorry, 359 00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:11.039 I was actually I was actually I actually got confused. 360 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:14.200 Remember how you were talking about chapter eight tomorrow. Yes, 361 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:16.680 I started to talk about chapter eight. Oh, you were 362 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:18.599 jumping like I was like, wait a minute, that's not 363 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:22.279 that's not this week. So so I was gonna have 364 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:25.000 to say. Is so a has once again gets this 365 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:29.559 uh word from the Lord, and I wonder why he 366 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:30.839 actually said I. 367 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:35.440 Will not test God like that. Yeah, isn't that interesting? 368 00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:37.799 Like I wonder if he's saying like, I'm not gonna 369 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:40.720 I'm not even gonna play in your God games, or 370 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:43.039 or I wonder if he was actually saying like, I'm 371 00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:45.200 not even touching that with a ten foot poll because 372 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:46.599 I don't. 373 00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:47.880 Want to think about God. I don't want to. 374 00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:50.759 I don't want to get near God because I know 375 00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:52.720 it's going to be bad for me because I recognize 376 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:55.440 that I've not been good. Like is there is there 377 00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:57.680 an acknowledgement you think of his wicked ways. 378 00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:00.400 I think God God has given him an opportunity needed 379 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.359 to prove, to prove that God exists. I think God 380 00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:10.759 God doesn't want because yesterday, you know, God says, well, 381 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:15.200 at the very beginning of this of this chapter, God says, listen, 382 00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:16.680 I'm not going to let them wipe you out right 383 00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:20.519 now right, I'm going to protect you. Don't worry about it. 384 00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:24.559 It's a weak kingdom, right, Damascus can't win because King 385 00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:28.079 Resin is so weak, right, and Israel can't win because 386 00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:31.759 Pica is so weak, right, They're they're only as strong 387 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:33.480 as the Kings, and the kings are weak. Don't worry 388 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:35.559 about it. I'm going to protect you. And then he says, 389 00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:40.039 I think God is trying to develop a relationship with 390 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.559 a Has. That's what I think is happening. This is 391 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:44.400 almost like a Solomon moment. You tell me what you 392 00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:47.200 want and I'll give it to you. And I'm wondering 393 00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:50.119 if that's not what's happening here. Just on the surface, 394 00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:52.279 as I read, there might be some theological thing happening 395 00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:54.279 here that I don't understand, But on the surface, it 396 00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:56.519 seems like God's saying, what do I need to do 397 00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:58.920 to prove to you that I'm real? What do I 398 00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:00.720 need to prove to do to prove to you that 399 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.559 you do not have to worship the gods of Bail 400 00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:06.000 and all these other Canaanite gods we have to prove 401 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:09.759
