WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.719 It really is. We will never be a mega church. We're not near I-94 and we don't have a parking lot. 00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:14.140 So, you have to make yourself available so that people can get to you. 00:00:15.220 --> 00:00:19.219 Where is that in the Old Testament? The city gate. 00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:24.000 The city gate is where everybody went in and out. 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.539 That was the busiest place. That's where the markets are. 00:00:27.539 --> 00:00:31.019 That's where people sat to gossip. That's where people visited. 00:00:32.259 --> 00:00:39.679 And yet, if she wants business, she should be in the city gate or near the city gate. 00:00:40.100 --> 00:00:44.200 But where did she pitch her tent? Where did she minister from? 00:00:45.140 --> 00:00:52.340 Verse 5. She held court under the palm of Deborah between Wama and Bethel. 00:00:53.480 --> 00:00:55.980 She was in the middle of nowhere. 00:00:57.539 --> 00:01:02.039 Not easily accessible. There isn't a lot of traffic. 00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.299 There isn't roads that would go there. 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.319 She was in the middle of nowhere. 00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:13.099 And yet, that's where she held her court. 00:01:13.539 --> 00:01:16.280 And I would have thought the business will die in no time. 00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:27.480 But now, people came and wanted to have her settle their disputes. 00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.920 She was going to decide their disputes. 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:36.019 The next thing you should notice is this. 00:01:36.180 --> 00:01:39.960 I'm trying to show you how odd a woman she is. 00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:48.539 The next thing that you should notice is that of the judge, Othniel, it says the spirit came upon him. 00:01:49.139 --> 00:01:52.799 Of Gideon, it says the spirit of the Lord came upon him. 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.799 Of Samson, the spirit of the Lord came upon him. 00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:01.519 Jephthah, the spirit of the Lord came upon him. 00:02:02.060 --> 00:02:10.319 Interestingly enough, nothing is said about the spirit of the Lord coming on either Ehud or on Deborah. 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:18.219 I would have seen that pattern that judge after judge after judge after judge. 00:02:18.859 --> 00:02:21.780 Their ministry began with the spirit of the Lord coming upon them. 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.019 But here, nothing is said. 00:02:25.060 --> 00:02:28.219 On the other hand, she's the only prophetess. 00:02:29.819 --> 00:02:35.319 And you assume that the spirit of the Lord came upon her because she's a prophetess. 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.400 But perhaps in a different way. 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:40.819 Not to be a military leader. 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:42.299 Not to lead the army. 00:02:42.459 --> 00:02:49.359 This is not John Dark, you know, leading the French, you know, the woman of Orleans. 00:02:50.459 --> 00:02:51.560 That's not that. 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:53.139 This is a woman. 00:02:54.439 --> 00:03:03.599 And nothing is said about military might, skills, being ambidextrous, you know, one of the knights of the round tables. 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:04.359 None of that. 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.259 So what was her power? 00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:12.739 Why would anybody come to her and seek her? 00:03:14.259 --> 00:03:17.539 Let me ask you a related question. 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.299 One of the things that saddened me this week is this. 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:25.259 I felt sad this week. 00:03:25.979 --> 00:03:27.099 Maybe you'll sympathize with me. 00:03:27.099 --> 00:03:35.139 I have been a naturalized citizen in this country for almost 50 years. 00:03:35.359 --> 00:03:35.919 Not quite. 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:44.299 I was a naturalized citizen for almost 50 years. 00:03:44.379 --> 00:03:45.500 45 to be exact. 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:52.399 The Congress has never invited me to speak in Washington, D.C. 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:56.439 I am waiting for Boehner. 00:03:56.980 --> 00:03:58.020 Well, now he's gone. 00:03:58.460 --> 00:04:00.540 I'm waiting for somebody else to say, 00:04:01.219 --> 00:04:05.200 Massouh, would you like to address the Congress? 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:09.639 They obviously don't think worth anything of my opinions. 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:12.959 So the Pope comes from Italy and guess what? 00:04:14.119 --> 00:04:15.000 First visit. 00:04:15.819 --> 00:04:17.659 He hasn't been here 50 years, has he? 00:04:17.660 --> 00:04:20.280 And he gets a visit? 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.300 And I've been living here 50 years and I get nothing? 00:04:23.300 --> 00:04:30.980 Why would they invite him and not invite me? 00:04:33.980 --> 00:04:36.080 What is it that the Pope has? 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.800 It can't be military might. 00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:45.220 We're not worried about him the same way we are thinking about Iran 00:04:45.220 --> 00:04:49.080 or perhaps North Korea. 00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:56.699 If you go to the Vatican, you see soldiers with archaic weapons, 00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:02.759 dressing uniforms that were presumably designed by Michelangelo. 00:05:04.479 --> 00:05:07.740 And all the soldiers look like, 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.560 I mean, they're great for photography and postcards, 00:05:12.099 --> 00:05:14.000 but they couldn't find Mickey Mouse. 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:14.479 You know? 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:22.780 So we're not exactly afraid of the Vatican army. 00:05:23.020 --> 00:05:24.439 They're not going to invade us. 00:05:26.660 --> 00:05:28.140 What are we worried about? 00:05:28.300 --> 00:05:29.100 Their economy? 00:05:29.540 --> 00:05:31.080 Well, most of their economy is tourism. 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:32.980 This is not China. 00:05:34.060 --> 00:05:37.240 You know, the president of China shows up in Seattle 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:40.040 and all the company chairmen go visit him. 00:05:41.640 --> 00:05:43.100 So it's not the economy. 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.140 What is it? 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.259 Is it great universities? 00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:52.340 There are great, good universities in Rome, 00:05:52.460 --> 00:05:53.740 but not in the Vatican. 00:05:56.200 --> 00:05:59.400 So what is the power that he has? 00:06:00.259 --> 00:06:02.700 Why is he an important person? 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:06.040 Why is it that when he speaks, 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:12.020 the cathedral fills completely? 00:06:12.020 --> 00:06:16.660 And you have to assign tickets for people to sit? 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.640 It's his moral character. 00:06:21.580 --> 00:06:23.800 He is seen as an honest man, 00:06:23.939 --> 00:06:24.960 as a godly man, 00:06:25.060 --> 00:06:26.740 as a spokesman for God. 00:06:26.860 --> 00:06:29.520 He certainly is seen like that by the Catholic Church. 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:36.779 Why is Deborah sought after? 00:06:37.779 --> 00:06:41.180 Because she is a prophetess. 00:06:42.740 --> 00:06:44.419 She is a prophetess. 00:06:44.859 --> 00:06:46.759 Not because her high IQ, 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.719 not because she graduated summa cum laude from Harvard, 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:54.460 not because she speaks 12 languages, 00:06:55.200 --> 00:06:58.040 but because she is a prophetess. 00:07:01.400 --> 00:07:06.280 But prophetism is a tricky business. 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:11.459 I became a Christian in California during the 60s. 00:07:13.819 --> 00:07:15.979 60s was a tumultuous decade. 00:07:16.179 --> 00:07:16.939 It really was wonderful. 00:07:17.059 --> 00:07:18.039 I wish it would come back. 00:07:18.379 --> 00:07:19.079 You know, I really do. 00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:24.079 But, you know, there was the war in Vietnam. 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.439 There was the Equal Rights Amendment. 00:07:26.939 --> 00:07:28.319 Kennedy was assassinated. 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.759 Then his brother Robert was assassinated. 00:07:31.259 --> 00:07:33.659 Martin Luther King, Malcolm X. 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.180 It was a tumultuous decade. 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.479 And in the middle of all of that chaos, 00:07:38.620 --> 00:07:41.139 there was a huge Jesus movement. 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.479 There was a huge Jesus movement. 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:50.060 And I met, after I became a Christian, 00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:54.020 I met several people who were in this Jesus movement. 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.800 And some were charismatic and some were not. 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.460 And so some of my friends who were charismatic 00:08:00.460 --> 00:08:03.360 wanted me to come and worship with them. 00:08:03.400 --> 00:08:05.020 And I was more than happy to do that. 00:08:05.620 --> 00:08:11.759 And so I was a young believer. 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.060 I couldn't tell what was going on. 00:08:14.060 --> 00:08:17.199 I certainly couldn't pass judgment about anything. 00:08:17.740 --> 00:08:22.420 So somebody would stand up and give a word of prophecy. 00:08:24.060 --> 00:08:28.120 And somebody else would get up and give a word of prophecy. 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:30.399 And somebody else would get up. 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.019 And some of them sounded just like verses. 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.039 You know, somebody is quoting a passage 00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:37.759 and saying it's a prophecy from God. 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:40.340 Others were saying silly things like, 00:08:40.340 --> 00:08:42.059 let's have dinner with McDonald's. 00:08:42.059 --> 00:08:46.119 You know, you don't need to give a prophecy to go to McDonald's. 00:08:46.839 --> 00:08:49.239 And some of them were, you know, 00:08:49.299 --> 00:08:51.319 as a young believer, I couldn't really tell 00:08:51.319 --> 00:08:55.479 whether was that really God or not. 00:08:56.859 --> 00:08:58.259 Hopefully I can now. 00:08:58.259 --> 00:09:03.000 But it is something to think about. 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:10.360 So, this woman, who is a prophetess, 00:09:11.139 --> 00:09:15.759 goes to a leader by the name of Barak 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.179 and look at verse 6. 00:09:18.179 --> 00:09:22.279 She sent for Barak, son of Avinuam, 00:09:22.739 --> 00:09:25.459 from Qadesh in Naphtali and said to him, 00:09:25.979 --> 00:09:28.819 the Lord, the God of Israel, commands you, 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:33.179 go take with you 10,000 men of Naphtali and Zebulon 00:09:33.179 --> 00:09:35.500 and lead the way to Mount Tabor. 00:09:35.500 --> 00:09:43.620 I was trying to make a decision when I was in my 20s. 00:09:43.940 --> 00:09:47.139 Do I stay with philosophy and get a PhD in philosophy 00:09:47.139 --> 00:09:48.039 and teach philosophy, 00:09:48.419 --> 00:09:50.340 or do I go into Christian ministry? 00:09:51.700 --> 00:09:55.899 What made that decision easy is that I was single. 00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.019 And so I thought to myself, 00:09:58.019 --> 00:10:00.199 if I made the wrong decision, 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:01.620 it doesn't matter. 00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:02.819 You know. 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.139 I only have to feed my own mouth. 00:10:09.740 --> 00:10:12.460 But if I had a family, for example, 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:14.039 with four children, 00:10:14.419 --> 00:10:16.980 I would look at it in a totally different way. 00:10:17.419 --> 00:10:18.840 I have to feed my wife, 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.340 I have to take care of my children, 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.840 I have to take care of myself. 00:10:23.319 --> 00:10:26.059 So, to make a decision for a family 00:10:26.059 --> 00:10:28.119 is harder than making a decision 00:10:28.119 --> 00:10:29.739 for a single person. 00:10:31.179 --> 00:10:34.219 Barak now has to make a decision 00:10:34.219 --> 00:10:37.559 for 10,000 people, 00:10:38.699 --> 00:10:39.919 10,000 soldiers. 00:10:41.199 --> 00:10:42.459 What if he's wrong? 00:10:44.459 --> 00:10:45.699 What if he's wrong? 00:10:46.979 --> 00:10:48.659 Is he willing to accept 00:10:48.659 --> 00:10:56.079 the massacre of 10,000 persons on himself? 00:10:58.039 --> 00:10:59.240 How can you tell 00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:02.339 whether she's telling the truth or not? 00:11:02.740 --> 00:11:04.519 Maybe she's just being patriotic. 00:11:05.719 --> 00:11:09.459 Maybe she's moved by hate for the Canaanites. 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:12.899 Or maybe she is bringing a word from God. 00:11:12.899 --> 00:11:16.360 But things like that are difficult 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:18.919 to know how to deal with. 00:11:19.939 --> 00:11:21.179 I remember this. 00:11:21.299 --> 00:11:23.659 I mean, this is one of the turning points in my life. 00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:26.179 I came to Trinity for one year 00:11:26.179 --> 00:11:28.840 because I had studied philosophy 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.959 and was going to finish my doctoral dissertation 00:11:31.959 --> 00:11:35.600 and knew a whole lot about philosophy. 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:37.480 And I was a very young believer 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.659 and knew practically nothing about Christianity. 00:11:39.659 --> 00:11:42.419 So one of my professors says, 00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:44.159 take a sabbatical, go to Trinity, 00:11:44.620 --> 00:11:45.779 learn as much as you can, 00:11:45.860 --> 00:11:46.659 and then come back. 00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:47.860 And this way, at least, 00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:49.579 you will satisfy both desires, 00:11:50.100 --> 00:11:51.240 both academic desires, 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:52.740 philosophy and scriptures. 00:11:53.459 --> 00:11:54.899 So here I am at Trinity 00:11:54.899 --> 00:11:59.339 and the dean, Dr. Kenneth Konser, 00:11:59.919 --> 00:12:00.600 says to me, 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:02.439 I really, really believe 00:12:02.439 --> 00:12:04.620 God wants you to teach Old Testament 00:12:04.620 --> 00:12:06.779 rather than philosophy. 00:12:06.779 --> 00:12:09.039 And I said, 00:12:10.100 --> 00:12:11.699 yes, but I've spent seven years, 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:13.720 I've paid seven years of tuition 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:15.799 for philosophy 00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.399 and now you want me to go into Old Testament? 00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:20.360 He said, 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:22.000 I am so sure of that 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:23.559 that I will give you a job 00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:25.100 the day you graduate. 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:30.939 So here, here it is. 00:12:31.139 --> 00:12:33.120 The person that I admire most, 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:34.779 that I respect most, 00:12:34.779 --> 00:12:36.259 is telling me, 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:38.319 change your career. 00:12:39.339 --> 00:12:40.379 Drop philosophy, 00:12:41.220 --> 00:12:42.319 go into Old Testament. 00:12:43.199 --> 00:12:44.079 Do I believe him? 00:12:46.199 --> 00:12:47.139 Maybe he's saying, 00:12:47.299 --> 00:12:48.480 get out of love for me 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:49.919 rather than because 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:50.919 it's a word from God. 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:56.459 So here, 00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.319 this woman comes to Barak, 00:12:58.419 --> 00:12:59.220 whose name, by the way, 00:12:59.259 --> 00:12:59.799 is Lightning, 00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:02.019 and says to him, 00:13:02.599 --> 00:13:04.019 take these 10,000 soldiers 00:13:04.019 --> 00:13:04.919 and go to battle. 00:13:07.779 --> 00:13:08.919 Is she patriotic? 00:13:09.859 --> 00:13:11.019 Is she excitable? 00:13:12.899 --> 00:13:14.659 Why should she do anything? 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:17.740 Why should she tell him that? 00:13:17.779 --> 00:13:18.719 Why should he do anything? 00:13:19.579 --> 00:13:21.679 And he has to make a decision. 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:22.699 So, 00:13:23.239 --> 00:13:23.739 I mean, 00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:24.359 it would help 00:13:24.359 --> 00:13:26.199 if God gives him a sign. 00:13:27.059 --> 00:13:27.279 You know, 00:13:27.479 --> 00:13:30.199 the sun stands still. 00:13:31.239 --> 00:13:31.439 Or, 00:13:31.959 --> 00:13:32.299 you know, 00:13:32.819 --> 00:13:33.559 10 plagues, 00:13:33.979 --> 00:13:34.659 or something like that. 00:13:34.699 --> 00:13:34.819 I mean, 00:13:34.839 --> 00:13:35.419 that would help. 00:13:36.419 --> 00:13:36.699 So, 00:13:36.899 --> 00:13:37.799 he says to her, 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:44.439 in verse 8, 00:13:45.219 --> 00:13:47.059 Barak said to her, 00:13:47.459 --> 00:13:48.620 if you go with me, 00:13:48.740 --> 00:13:49.419 I will go. 00:13:49.939 --> 00:13:51.459 But if you don't go with me, 00:13:51.699 --> 00:13:52.539 I won't go. 00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:55.099 How should we take that passage? 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:58.259 There are various ways 00:13:58.259 --> 00:13:59.079 of reading it. 00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:00.500 One way, 00:14:01.339 --> 00:14:03.120 the way that most people take it, 00:14:03.199 --> 00:14:04.339 and it probably is true, 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:05.399 is, 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.459 I'm afraid. 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:10.620 I don't want to go alone. 00:14:10.980 --> 00:14:12.299 But if you come with me, 00:14:12.699 --> 00:14:13.360 I'll go. 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:18.340 I remember something very similar 00:14:18.340 --> 00:14:20.000 when I was in seminary, 00:14:21.139 --> 00:14:22.939 taking a course in evangelism. 00:14:23.299 --> 00:14:25.360 I needed to evangelize. 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:27.299 I needed to witness to people. 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:30.240 And I wasn't sure where to do that. 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.620 And one of my friends says, 00:14:33.620 --> 00:14:36.179 let's go to this area in Chicago. 00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:39.120 And so, 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:41.440 I looked it up to see what area it is. 00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:44.940 And it was a fairly dangerous area in Chicago. 00:14:45.580 --> 00:14:46.200 And he said, 00:14:46.259 --> 00:14:47.220 let's go witness there. 00:14:48.179 --> 00:14:48.580 So, 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:49.139 I said to him, 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:49.960 if you go with me, 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:50.340 I'll go. 00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:52.799 But if you're just sending me alone, 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:53.620 I'm not going. 00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:56.620 I was afraid. 00:14:56.620 --> 00:14:57.139 I was afraid. 00:14:59.620 --> 00:15:00.179 However, 00:15:01.179 --> 00:15:02.360 let's try this one. 00:15:04.259 --> 00:15:05.240 There is a, 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:08.000 there used to be a professor at Trinity 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:09.519 who was a millionaire. 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:12.980 He made his first million 00:15:12.980 --> 00:15:14.860 when he was 27. 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:17.899 And we were good friends. 00:15:17.899 --> 00:15:20.939 And so, 00:15:21.079 --> 00:15:23.079 I asked him one day, 00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:26.459 how do I make my first million? 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:30.059 And he said, 00:15:30.740 --> 00:15:32.319 invest in this company. 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:34.079 So, 00:15:34.139 --> 00:15:34.740 I said to him, 00:15:35.299 --> 00:15:37.079 have you invested in this company? 00:15:37.299 --> 00:15:37.679 And he said, 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:37.939 no. 00:15:37.940 --> 00:15:46.460 Barak may be saying to her, 00:15:47.020 --> 00:15:49.040 if you are willing to risk your life, 00:15:49.280 --> 00:15:50.820 I'm willing to risk my life. 00:15:51.620 --> 00:15:53.320 But I'm not willing to risk my life 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:54.080 all by myself. 00:15:56.060 --> 00:15:56.460 So, 00:15:57.180 --> 00:15:58.320 in any case, 00:15:59.260 --> 00:16:01.040 he decides to go 00:16:01.040 --> 00:16:02.160 to battle. 00:16:06.160 --> 00:16:07.920 The battle is not easy. 00:16:07.940 --> 00:16:09.500 because if we go to 00:16:09.500 --> 00:16:11.460 the beginning of this passage, 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:13.500 verse 3, 00:16:14.860 --> 00:16:15.840 chapter 4, 00:16:15.900 --> 00:16:16.400 verse 3, 00:16:17.020 --> 00:16:18.680 because the enemy had 00:16:18.680 --> 00:16:22.360 900 iron chariots. 00:16:24.640 --> 00:16:28.580 900 iron chariots. 00:16:30.980 --> 00:16:32.720 If I have a sword 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:34.880 and they have a chariot, 00:16:35.020 --> 00:16:35.760 who's going to win? 00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:38.139 And iron chariots, 00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:39.419 not just wooden chariots 00:16:39.419 --> 00:16:40.159 like the Egyptians, 00:16:40.819 --> 00:16:42.240 but iron chariots. 00:16:43.899 --> 00:16:45.759 The one who has the superior weapon 00:16:46.299 --> 00:16:47.600 almost always wins. 00:16:49.259 --> 00:16:50.720 I remember a famous case, 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:51.980 the siege of Vienna. 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:55.919 The Ottomans had invented 00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:57.039 these very, 00:16:57.220 --> 00:16:58.379 very heavy guns, 00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:00.779 and they were going to use it 00:17:00.779 --> 00:17:01.759 to smash 00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:04.019 the city walls of Vienna 00:17:04.019 --> 00:17:05.220 and conquer the city. 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:09.980 But they didn't. 00:17:11.059 --> 00:17:11.500 Why? 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:13.220 I'll tell you in just a minute. 00:17:13.900 --> 00:17:15.940 Because it's the same situation here. 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:20.220 If you are my generation, 00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:22.019 or if the word 00:17:22.700 --> 00:17:23.599 Indiana Jones 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:24.720 mean anything to you, 00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:26.920 there's that famous scene. 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:29.019 one of the guys 00:17:29.019 --> 00:17:29.820 who's going to kill 00:17:29.820 --> 00:17:30.580 Indiana Jones 00:17:30.580 --> 00:17:31.340 has his sword, 00:17:31.500 --> 00:17:32.060 and he is 00:17:32.060 --> 00:17:33.279 doing all these 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:35.120 things with the sword, 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:35.740 and he's, 00:17:36.080 --> 00:17:36.340 you know, 00:17:36.940 --> 00:17:37.580 and we're thinking, 00:17:37.740 --> 00:17:37.840 boy, 00:17:37.900 --> 00:17:38.519 he's going to make him 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:39.779 a barbecue chicken, 00:17:40.300 --> 00:17:41.279 and Indiana 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:42.420 takes out his revolver, 00:17:42.560 --> 00:17:42.820 boop, 00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:44.300 and he drops. 00:17:44.980 --> 00:17:45.860 Superior weapon, 00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:46.480 superior, 00:17:46.660 --> 00:17:47.320 easier victory. 00:17:49.580 --> 00:17:50.960 So to go to war 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:53.300 is risky. 00:17:53.300 --> 00:17:54.400 The enemy 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:55.740 has superior weapon. 00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:57.480 And so 00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:58.900 we have this problem. 00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:00.180 How is God 00:18:00.180 --> 00:18:00.920 going to deal 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:02.160 with this problem? 00:18:04.140 --> 00:18:05.360 God has to deal 00:18:05.360 --> 00:18:06.900 with Barak's hesitation. 00:18:07.600 --> 00:18:08.780 Now he has to deal 00:18:08.780 --> 00:18:09.960 with the inferiority 00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:11.480 of the Hebrew army. 00:18:12.100 --> 00:18:13.280 So he led them 00:18:13.280 --> 00:18:14.060 to Mount Tabor, 00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:15.080 and they were 00:18:15.080 --> 00:18:15.980 on the slopes 00:18:15.980 --> 00:18:17.040 of Mount Tabor, 00:18:17.280 --> 00:18:18.200 and the chariots 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:19.340 were underneath them. 00:18:20.540 --> 00:18:21.320 There on top, 00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:21.960 the chariots 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:22.519 at the bottom. 00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:27.640 In Western movies, 00:18:28.300 --> 00:18:29.400 who do you want 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:30.140 to be on top, 00:18:30.220 --> 00:18:30.880 and who do you want 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:31.580 to be on the bottom? 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:33.500 Who's easier 00:18:33.500 --> 00:18:34.320 to shoot at? 00:18:34.500 --> 00:18:35.019 Shooting up 00:18:35.019 --> 00:18:35.759 or shooting down? 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:38.780 So they had them. 00:18:39.340 --> 00:18:40.040 They had them. 00:18:40.840 --> 00:18:41.900 But the reason 00:18:41.900 --> 00:18:42.820 that the enemy 00:18:42.820 --> 00:18:44.080 did not pursue them, 00:18:44.560 --> 00:18:45.660 because if you start 00:18:45.660 --> 00:18:46.560 to go up a slope, 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:47.360 you can't maneuver. 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:49.380 But if it's a plane, 00:18:50.019 --> 00:18:51.019 if it's a plane, 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:51.780 flat plane, 00:18:51.860 --> 00:18:52.440 you can maneuver 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:53.259 all you want to. 00:18:53.340 --> 00:18:53.740 You can run 00:18:53.740 --> 00:18:56.140 in every which direction. 00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:59.039 And what happened 00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.140 is that these heavy, 00:19:02.900 --> 00:19:04.000 mighty chariots 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:05.840 were caught 00:19:05.840 --> 00:19:06.799 in a flood. 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:08.779 It rained 00:19:08.779 --> 00:19:09.559 and rained 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:10.420 and rained 00:19:10.420 --> 00:19:11.160 and it turned 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:12.460 completely mud. 00:19:14.420 --> 00:19:15.460 What happened 00:19:15.460 --> 00:19:16.019 at Vienna 00:19:16.019 --> 00:19:17.120 was the same thing. 00:19:17.840 --> 00:19:18.480 It rained 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:19.220 for a month, 00:19:19.220 --> 00:19:22.440 and these heavy guns 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:23.420 couldn't be pushed. 00:19:24.180 --> 00:19:25.079 So they had to 00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:25.779 abandon them 00:19:25.779 --> 00:19:26.720 so the score 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:27.220 was even. 00:19:27.819 --> 00:19:28.900 You may be interested 00:19:28.900 --> 00:19:29.400 to know 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:30.620 that in 1799, 00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:33.660 Napoleon's army, 00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:34.460 the French army, 00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:36.059 and the Ottoman army 00:19:36.059 --> 00:19:38.059 were at the same spot 00:19:38.059 --> 00:19:39.620 facing each other 00:19:39.620 --> 00:19:41.240 and guess what happened? 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:42.819 It rained 00:19:42.819 --> 00:19:43.559 and rained 00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:44.180 and rained 00:19:44.180 --> 00:19:47.320 and the Ottoman army 00:19:47.320 --> 00:19:48.240 was neutralized 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:49.340 and Napoleon won. 00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:51.160 The very same spot. 00:19:53.460 --> 00:19:54.039 So, 00:19:54.340 --> 00:19:55.480 what does
