00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.320
 Father, for some of us, the story we're going to read is very, very familiar.

00:00:07.140 --> 00:00:10.120
 And for others of us, Father, we're going to be hearing it for the first time.

00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.519
 We ask, Father, that your Holy Spirit would do a wonderful work,

00:00:14.859 --> 00:00:18.879
 both for those who know this story very well and those of us who've never heard it,

00:00:19.420 --> 00:00:21.740
 that you would bring the story deep into our heart.

00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:27.320
 Father, I ask that it's not that people will remember my words or think that I am wise.

00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:32.200
 We ask, Father, that the Holy Spirit will bring your word into each of our lives,

00:00:32.259 --> 00:00:37.259
 that your word will be what forms us and grips us at our heart.

00:00:37.820 --> 00:00:41.939
 And this I ask in the name of Jesus, your Son and our Savior. Amen.

00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:43.539
 Please be seated.

00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:50.820
 So some of you know I'm a runner.

00:00:52.179 --> 00:00:56.780
 Actually, as I get older, I probably shouldn't call myself a runner.

00:00:56.780 --> 00:01:05.299
 It's probably fairer to say that I shuffle very rapidly along the canal as I get slower, as I get older.

00:01:05.740 --> 00:01:08.799
 And on Friday afternoon, late afternoon, I went for a run along the canal.

00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.760
 I don't know, 3.30, 4 o'clock, something like that.

00:01:12.019 --> 00:01:14.579
 And as you know, it was bad weather on Friday.

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:20.960
 And so I come to the canal and the path along the canal hasn't been plowed,

00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.480
 which makes the, you know, whatever, this much snow.

00:01:23.659 --> 00:01:24.620
 It's not very comfortable.

00:01:24.620 --> 00:01:28.840
 I get to where the ice has been open for people to skate.

00:01:28.939 --> 00:01:33.180
 And I look down, and as often the case, right along the edges,

00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:37.300
 there's a bit of a strip where it's been plowed but not ice.

00:01:37.420 --> 00:01:39.480
 So it's like hard-packed, flat snow.

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:41.980
 So I go down there and I do the rest of my run.

00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.460
 I'm doing the rest of my run on the ice or beside the ice.

00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:47.320
 And as I'm sort of going down a little bit,

00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.559
 I see off in the distance ahead of me about three or four men.

00:01:51.279 --> 00:01:54.639
 And they're all, like, skating more like this.

00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:59.599
 You know, they're not skating like they did minor hockey as kids.

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.299
 And they're all, you know, they're tottering around.

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:04.639
 And as I'm getting closer to them,

00:02:04.679 --> 00:02:07.139
 one of them starts to totter over towards me

00:02:07.139 --> 00:02:09.719
 and starts saying something which I can't understand at first.

00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:14.520
 And then I realize he has a really deep Georgia or Mississippi or Alabama accent.

00:02:14.780 --> 00:02:16.599
 You know, one of those real southern accents.

00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:17.840
 And he's saying to me,

00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:18.500
 You're cheating.

00:02:22.819 --> 00:02:24.300
 And I said to him,

00:02:24.900 --> 00:02:25.599
 I am.

00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:29.360
 And then we just, I kept running,

00:02:29.460 --> 00:02:32.699
 and he sort of tottered over to the side.

00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:34.800
 So I'm going to begin this story.

00:02:34.979 --> 00:02:36.400
 You heard John read the beginning.

00:02:36.539 --> 00:02:39.060
 I'm going to, for those of you who have never heard the story,

00:02:39.060 --> 00:02:41.379
 I'm going to cheat and tell you the ending.

00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:46.460
 The ending, God does a remarkable, miraculous, providential thing.

00:02:47.099 --> 00:02:48.960
 And Gideon lives.

00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:49.960
 So I'm giving you the ending.

00:02:49.979 --> 00:02:50.640
 I'm going to cheat.

00:02:50.780 --> 00:02:52.319
 And for those of you who have never heard the story,

00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:54.120
 I'm going to let you know that Gideon wins.

00:02:55.180 --> 00:02:57.599
 But for those of you who've heard the story many times,

00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.159
 often Sunday school teachers,

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:00.860
 in an attempt to spice things up,

00:03:00.980 --> 00:03:02.460
 not putting down Sunday school teachers,

00:03:02.860 --> 00:03:03.520
 many pastors,

00:03:03.659 --> 00:03:05.599
 they put parts and missed parts of the story

00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.640
 that are actually really, really significant

00:03:07.640 --> 00:03:09.039
 if they're going to affect our hearts.

00:03:09.060 --> 00:03:10.099
 So let's look at the story.

00:03:10.580 --> 00:03:12.199
 It's Judges chapter 7.

00:03:13.099 --> 00:03:14.599
 Judges chapter 7.

00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.580
 And if we were doing,

00:03:18.060 --> 00:03:18.759
 if we were,

00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.020
 if Netflix approached us to do a movie

00:03:22.020 --> 00:03:23.580
 on the story of Gideon,

00:03:24.180 --> 00:03:25.240
 it would be,

00:03:25.340 --> 00:03:27.719
 this would be episode 2 of three episodes.

00:03:28.500 --> 00:03:30.740
 And so last week in episode 1,

00:03:31.180 --> 00:03:32.920
 we meet Gideon,

00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:34.360
 amongst other things,

00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.600
 and we discover that Gideon is this Jewish man

00:03:37.600 --> 00:03:41.180
 who worships Baal, Baal, and the Asherah,

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.760
 so he's paganized or Canaanized.

00:03:44.420 --> 00:03:47.820
 And Israel has been brought very, very, very, very low.

00:03:48.820 --> 00:03:50.820
 They, every, periodically,

00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:52.340
 at least once or twice a year,

00:03:52.460 --> 00:03:53.860
 the Midianites, the Amalekites,

00:03:53.940 --> 00:03:56.260
 and other nomadic tribes

00:03:56.260 --> 00:03:59.440
 come and enter into the land of Israel.

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:00.939
 And it's not just that,

00:04:01.020 --> 00:04:01.400
 they don't just,

00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:02.539
 they don't come to conquer,

00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:04.879
 they don't come to occupy,

00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:06.680
 they just come to steal

00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:08.199
 whatever they can carry

00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:09.439
 and whatever they can eat,

00:04:09.740 --> 00:04:11.680
 and whatever they haven't stolen

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.099
 and whatever they haven't eaten,

00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:13.879
 whatever's left,

00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:14.919
 they destroy it

00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.959
 so that the Israelites can't eat it.

00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:19.500
 So what this story is,

00:04:19.539 --> 00:04:21.219
 they've been brought low for seven years.

00:04:21.339 --> 00:04:23.939
 There's been seven years of attempted genocide.

00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.219
 Seven years of attempted genocide

00:04:26.219 --> 00:04:27.219
 of the people of Israel.

00:04:27.859 --> 00:04:31.099
 And Midian has been brought very, very low.

00:04:32.039 --> 00:04:33.519
 And just before we start to read this,

00:04:34.019 --> 00:04:35.919
 one of the things we talked about last week

00:04:35.919 --> 00:04:37.839
 is if you go through all of the book of Judges,

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:39.919
 one of the things the book of Judges as a whole

00:04:39.919 --> 00:04:40.919
 wants to show you

00:04:40.919 --> 00:04:44.259
 is that it's not true that all paths lead to God.

00:04:44.659 --> 00:04:46.839
 It is not true that all paths lead to God.

00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.659
 But it is true that the triune God

00:04:49.659 --> 00:04:51.399
 uses many paths,

00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:52.779
 many different paths,

00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:54.479
 to bring people to himself.

00:04:55.299 --> 00:04:56.519
 And so in the book of Judges,

00:04:56.699 --> 00:04:57.759
 you're going to see God

00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:59.399
 constantly delivering his people,

00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.159
 but he does it in a different way every time.

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:03.319
 And so last week,

00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.939
 we heard about Gideon and his call,

00:05:06.659 --> 00:05:08.659
 and God is going to be the one

00:05:08.659 --> 00:05:10.279
 who delivers them from the Midianites,

00:05:10.379 --> 00:05:12.779
 but he's going to use Gideon.

00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.479
 And so now we actually see it happen.

00:05:17.339 --> 00:05:19.000
 And here's how it begins.

00:05:19.099 --> 00:05:20.219
 I hope I point this the right way.

00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:20.759
 I think I did.

00:05:20.859 --> 00:05:21.319
 That's, yes.

00:05:21.799 --> 00:05:23.259
 Okay, so here's how it begins.

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.500
 Then Jerobal, that is Gideon,

00:05:27.060 --> 00:05:28.859
 and all the people who were with him

00:05:28.859 --> 00:05:30.659
 rose early and encamped

00:05:31.179 --> 00:05:32.659
 beside the spring of Herod.

00:05:32.779 --> 00:05:33.679
 As we'll see in a moment,

00:05:33.819 --> 00:05:35.000
 Gideon's raised an army.

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.480
 And the camp of Midian was north of them

00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.439
 by the hill of Moreh in the valley.

00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:42.180
 Verse 2.

00:05:42.980 --> 00:05:44.459
 And just before I read verse 2,

00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:49.259
 verse 2 is the key to understanding

00:05:49.259 --> 00:05:52.300
 the entire story of Gideon

00:05:52.300 --> 00:05:53.920
 from the beginning to the end.

00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:57.019
 In other words,

00:05:57.379 --> 00:06:00.019
 if we were to make this into a Netflix movie,

00:06:00.019 --> 00:06:01.279
 and you saw episode 1,

00:06:01.620 --> 00:06:02.759
 which is chapter 6,

00:06:02.859 --> 00:06:03.699
 episode 2,

00:06:04.299 --> 00:06:05.439
 which is chapter 7,

00:06:05.479 --> 00:06:06.639
 and episode 3,

00:06:07.159 --> 00:06:08.659
 which is chapter 8,

00:06:08.719 --> 00:06:10.139
 and maybe into chapter 9

00:06:10.139 --> 00:06:12.319
 because it's connected to what happens there.

00:06:13.459 --> 00:06:13.779
 If you,

00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.319
 verse 2 is the key text

00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:18.639
 to help you to understand

00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:20.219
 what's going on in the whole story.

00:06:20.220 --> 00:06:22.180
 And it's the key

00:06:22.180 --> 00:06:23.940
 to being able to interpret it.

00:06:24.980 --> 00:06:26.040
 And here's what it says.

00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:27.140
 The Lord said to Gideon,

00:06:27.880 --> 00:06:29.120
 The people with you

00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:30.420
 are too many

00:06:30.420 --> 00:06:31.740
 for me.

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:32.900
 Too many.

00:06:33.440 --> 00:06:35.100
 Your army's too big

00:06:35.100 --> 00:06:36.900
 for me to give the Midianites

00:06:36.900 --> 00:06:38.060
 into their hand.

00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:39.580
 Lest Israel

00:06:39.580 --> 00:06:40.580
 boast

00:06:40.580 --> 00:06:41.980
 over me,

00:06:42.280 --> 00:06:42.640
 saying,

00:06:43.180 --> 00:06:44.060
 My own hand

00:06:44.060 --> 00:06:45.060
 has saved me.

00:06:46.220 --> 00:06:46.780
 Now therefore,

00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:48.900
 proclaim in the ears

00:06:48.900 --> 00:06:49.580
 of the people,

00:06:49.900 --> 00:06:50.200
 saying,

00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:51.760
 Whoever is fearful

00:06:51.760 --> 00:06:52.420
 and trembling,

00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:54.200
 let him return home

00:06:54.200 --> 00:06:55.400
 and hurry away

00:06:55.400 --> 00:06:56.540
 from Mount Gilead.

00:06:57.320 --> 00:06:58.900
 Then 22,000

00:06:58.900 --> 00:06:59.440
 of the people

00:06:59.440 --> 00:06:59.900
 returned

00:06:59.900 --> 00:07:00.780
 and 10,000

00:07:00.780 --> 00:07:01.660
 remained.

00:07:02.180 --> 00:07:02.600
 So,

00:07:03.080 --> 00:07:04.020
 this advice

00:07:04.020 --> 00:07:04.500
 that the Lord

00:07:04.500 --> 00:07:05.220
 gives Gideon,

00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:06.660
 we have at least

00:07:06.660 --> 00:07:07.580
 one veteran

00:07:07.580 --> 00:07:08.220
 in the room,

00:07:08.700 --> 00:07:09.480
 is completely

00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:10.480
 insane advice.

00:07:11.400 --> 00:07:12.480
 Normally what you do

00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.020
 is you say,

00:07:13.400 --> 00:07:13.580
 Okay,

00:07:13.620 --> 00:07:14.900
 we got 32,000 people.

00:07:14.960 --> 00:07:15.480
 How can we get

00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:16.620
 30,000 more

00:07:16.620 --> 00:07:18.140
 so we can really guarantee

00:07:18.140 --> 00:07:19.160
 that we win this battle?

00:07:19.520 --> 00:07:19.900
 And I can also

00:07:19.899 --> 00:07:20.919
 well imagine

00:07:20.919 --> 00:07:21.560
 that many,

00:07:21.719 --> 00:07:22.279
 many commanders,

00:07:22.599 --> 00:07:23.659
 maybe even this is

00:07:23.659 --> 00:07:24.099
 what went through

00:07:24.099 --> 00:07:25.620
 Gideon's mind,

00:07:25.739 --> 00:07:26.419
 we're not told.

00:07:26.539 --> 00:07:27.279
 Gideon might have thought,

00:07:27.620 --> 00:07:27.759
 Sure,

00:07:27.799 --> 00:07:28.299
 I can say

00:07:28.299 --> 00:07:29.159
 whoever's afraid

00:07:29.159 --> 00:07:29.959
 go on home

00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:30.819
 because I know

00:07:30.819 --> 00:07:31.620
 my troops

00:07:31.620 --> 00:07:33.620
 and two will go home

00:07:33.620 --> 00:07:35.120
 because I know

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:35.699
 my troops.

00:07:35.819 --> 00:07:36.060
 They're all

00:07:36.060 --> 00:07:37.639
 men's men

00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:38.859
 and they're all

00:07:38.859 --> 00:07:40.000
 pumped for this battle.

00:07:40.099 --> 00:07:40.939
 So he gives this thing

00:07:40.939 --> 00:07:41.599
 and before he knows

00:07:41.599 --> 00:07:41.739
 it,

00:07:41.779 --> 00:07:42.719
 over two-thirds

00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:44.340
 two-thirds

00:07:44.340 --> 00:07:45.100
 of the army

00:07:45.100 --> 00:07:45.540
 leaves

00:07:45.540 --> 00:07:46.480
 and he's left

00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:47.180
 with 10,000.

00:07:47.740 --> 00:07:48.520
 The book doesn't

00:07:48.520 --> 00:07:49.480
 go into the psychology

00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:50.280
 of what was going

00:07:50.280 --> 00:07:51.380
 through Gideon's mind

00:07:51.380 --> 00:07:52.740
 but it must have

00:07:52.740 --> 00:07:53.420
 been terrifying

00:07:53.420 --> 00:07:55.040
 for him to see

00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:56.640
 over two-thirds

00:07:56.640 --> 00:07:57.840
 of all of his troops

00:07:57.840 --> 00:07:58.600
 just leave,

00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:00.020
 left to 10,000.

00:08:00.019 --> 00:08:01.419
 But remember

00:08:01.419 --> 00:08:02.279
 verse 2,

00:08:03.620 --> 00:08:04.579
 God says,

00:08:04.699 --> 00:08:05.279
 the Lord says

00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:05.799
 to Gideon,

00:08:05.919 --> 00:08:06.859
 The people with you

00:08:06.859 --> 00:08:07.639
 are too many

00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:08.879
 for me to give

00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:09.579
 the Midianites

00:08:09.579 --> 00:08:10.599
 into their hand

00:08:10.599 --> 00:08:11.419
 lest Israel

00:08:11.419 --> 00:08:12.919
 boast over me

00:08:12.919 --> 00:08:14.639
 saying,

00:08:14.919 --> 00:08:16.039
 My own hand

00:08:16.039 --> 00:08:16.779
 to save me.

00:08:17.699 --> 00:08:18.039
 So,

00:08:18.539 --> 00:08:20.079
 what happens next?

00:08:20.659 --> 00:08:20.899
 Well,

00:08:20.979 --> 00:08:21.699
 what happens next

00:08:21.699 --> 00:08:22.639
 is in verse,

00:08:23.039 --> 00:08:24.620
 it's going to get worse.

00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:25.299
 Those of you

00:08:25.299 --> 00:08:25.699
 who've never heard

00:08:25.699 --> 00:08:26.120
 the story,

00:08:26.219 --> 00:08:26.879
 it gets worse.

00:08:27.019 --> 00:08:28.039
 Verse 4 and 5.

00:08:28.579 --> 00:08:28.959
 And the Lord

00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:29.719
 said to Gideon,

00:08:30.019 --> 00:08:30.659
 the people

00:08:30.659 --> 00:08:31.539
 are still too many.

00:08:31.899 --> 00:08:32.500
 Take them down

00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:33.100
 to the water.

00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:34.860
 I will test them

00:08:34.860 --> 00:08:35.939
 for you there.

00:08:36.460 --> 00:08:37.399
 And the word test

00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:37.919
 is different

00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:38.779
 than the word test

00:08:38.779 --> 00:08:39.759
 used other places

00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:41.340
 in the story of Judges.

00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:42.699
 This is a word

00:08:42.699 --> 00:08:44.059
 about refining.

00:08:45.059 --> 00:08:46.059
 I'm going to refine

00:08:46.059 --> 00:08:46.740
 them more

00:08:46.740 --> 00:08:47.699
 for you there.

00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:48.939
 And anyone

00:08:48.939 --> 00:08:49.980
 to whom I say to you,

00:08:50.019 --> 00:08:51.179
 still at the part

00:08:51.179 --> 00:08:51.799
 of verse 4,

00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:53.819
 anyone of whom

00:08:53.819 --> 00:08:54.439
 I say to you,

00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:55.319
 this one shall go

00:08:55.319 --> 00:08:55.759
 with you,

00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:56.819
 shall go with you.

00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:57.519
 And anyone of whom

00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:58.299
 I say to you,

00:08:58.559 --> 00:08:59.439
 this one shall not

00:08:59.439 --> 00:08:59.939
 go with you,

00:08:59.940 --> 00:09:00.600
 shall not go.

00:09:01.340 --> 00:09:02.300
 So Gideon brought

00:09:02.300 --> 00:09:02.920
 the people down

00:09:02.920 --> 00:09:03.420
 to the water.

00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:04.500
 And the Lord

00:09:04.500 --> 00:09:05.220
 said to Gideon,

00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:06.440
 everyone who laps

00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:07.500
 the water with his tongue

00:09:07.500 --> 00:09:08.280
 as a dog laps,

00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:09.420
 you shall set by himself.

00:09:09.580 --> 00:09:09.780
 Likewise,

00:09:09.980 --> 00:09:10.780
 everyone who kneels

00:09:10.780 --> 00:09:12.180
 down to drink.

00:09:13.060 --> 00:09:14.160
 Now just sort of pause.

00:09:14.820 --> 00:09:16.000
 If it's a little bit,

00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:17.340
 I think I've skipped

00:09:17.340 --> 00:09:17.920
 a bit here.

00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:18.560
 No, I didn't.

00:09:18.640 --> 00:09:19.340
 I think I'm fine.

00:09:19.340 --> 00:09:23.879
 If it's a little bit confusing,

00:09:24.300 --> 00:09:26.100
 this is one of the few places

00:09:26.100 --> 00:09:27.740
 in the Old Testament

00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:29.660
 where there is some confusion

00:09:29.660 --> 00:09:30.340
 in the grammar.

00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:31.920
 And if you read something

00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:33.320
 like the New Living Translation,

00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:34.759
 it smooths it out.

00:09:35.379 --> 00:09:36.460
 But it's not important

00:09:36.460 --> 00:09:37.660
 to get all the words right.

00:09:38.660 --> 00:09:39.560
 And I'll explain why

00:09:39.560 --> 00:09:39.980
 in a moment.

00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:41.639
 Let's see what happens next.

00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.400
 It's verses 6 and following.

00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:45.980
 And the number of those

00:09:45.980 --> 00:09:46.659
 who lapped,

00:09:46.819 --> 00:09:47.600
 putting their hands

00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:48.220
 to their mouths,

00:09:48.319 --> 00:09:49.459
 was 300 men.

00:09:49.939 --> 00:09:51.139
 But all the rest of the people

00:09:51.139 --> 00:09:52.399
 knelt down to drink water.

00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:54.279
 And the Lord said to Gideon,

00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:56.679
 with the 300 men who lapped,

00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:57.600
 I will save you

00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:58.799
 and give the Midianites

00:09:58.799 --> 00:09:59.539
 into your hand.

00:10:00.079 --> 00:10:01.019
 Let all the others

00:10:01.019 --> 00:10:02.459
 go every man to his home.

00:10:03.220 --> 00:10:04.720
 So the people took provisions

00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:05.720
 in their hands

00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:07.059
 and their trumpets.

00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:08.639
 And he sent all the rest

00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:09.120
 of Israel,

00:10:09.220 --> 00:10:10.379
 every man to his tent,

00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:12.759
 but retained the 300 men.

00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:14.379
 And the camp of Midian

00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:16.200
 was below him in the valley.

00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:18.340
 So now, once again,

00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:19.019
 the Lord has done

00:10:19.019 --> 00:10:20.080
 completely and utterly

00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:21.220
 crazy advice.

00:10:21.419 --> 00:10:22.679
 He's given another test

00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:24.139
 and he's got the people

00:10:24.139 --> 00:10:25.120
 down to 300.

00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:26.439
 Now here's where

00:10:26.439 --> 00:10:27.139
 many pastors

00:10:27.139 --> 00:10:28.139
 and many well-meaning

00:10:28.139 --> 00:10:29.139
 Sunday school teachers

00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:30.240
 make a big mistake.

00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:32.600
 The point of the test

00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:33.539
 is to get the number

00:10:33.539 --> 00:10:34.700
 down to 300.

00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:37.139
 It is not the point

00:10:37.139 --> 00:10:38.179
 to find out

00:10:38.179 --> 00:10:40.039
 Arnold Schwarzenegger

00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:41.159
 and The Rock

00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:42.740
 and Jason Statham

00:10:42.740 --> 00:10:45.240
 and 297 other

00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:46.240
 super soldiers.

00:10:46.779 --> 00:10:47.779
 That's not the point

00:10:47.779 --> 00:10:48.480
 of the test.

00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:49.799
 If that was the point

00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:50.240
 of the test,

00:10:50.340 --> 00:10:51.180
 they could still boast.

00:10:51.299 --> 00:10:51.720
 They could say,

00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:52.039
 listen,

00:10:52.460 --> 00:10:54.299
 we don't need 32,000 people.

00:10:54.419 --> 00:10:55.539
 All we need is The Rock

00:10:55.539 --> 00:10:57.680
 and maybe Stallone

00:10:57.680 --> 00:10:59.039
 and maybe Schwarzenegger

00:10:59.039 --> 00:10:59.820
 and we can handle

00:10:59.820 --> 00:11:00.600
 all of those people.

00:11:00.700 --> 00:11:01.519
 That's not the point

00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:02.100
 of the story.

00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:03.340
 I mean,

00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:04.039
 it could have been,

00:11:04.139 --> 00:11:04.500
 I don't know,

00:11:04.560 --> 00:11:05.500
 who scratched their chin

00:11:05.500 --> 00:11:05.960
 this way.

00:11:06.019 --> 00:11:06.399
 It could have been

00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:07.620
 who didn't pick their nose.

00:11:07.779 --> 00:11:07.940
 Like,

00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:09.220
 the point of the test

00:11:09.220 --> 00:11:10.200
 is it's not about

00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:11.980
 some type of special vigilance

00:11:11.980 --> 00:11:13.080
 or anything like that.

00:11:13.460 --> 00:11:14.440
 Just as,

00:11:14.680 --> 00:11:15.800
 and I don't want to

00:11:15.800 --> 00:11:16.639
 rain on the parade

00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:17.379
 of some people

00:11:17.379 --> 00:11:18.080
 and they're preaching,

00:11:18.460 --> 00:11:20.080
 there's no special power

00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.100
 about Israeli horns.

00:11:23.139 --> 00:11:23.960
 There's not.

00:11:24.980 --> 00:11:26.580
 It's completely irrelevant.

00:11:26.580 --> 00:11:28.360
 Like,

00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:28.900
 there's a whole,

00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:29.600
 there's whole,

00:11:29.680 --> 00:11:29.980
 like,

00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:31.500
 training sessions

00:11:31.500 --> 00:11:32.240
 in churches.

00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:33.080
 The shofar,

00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:34.180
 I think that's what it's called.

00:11:34.280 --> 00:11:34.520
 You know,

00:11:34.780 --> 00:11:35.420
 if you really want

00:11:35.420 --> 00:11:36.100
 to have success,

00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:36.940
 get a shofar

00:11:36.940 --> 00:11:37.120
 and,

00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:37.540
 no!

00:11:39.280 --> 00:11:40.680
 The point of it is,

00:11:41.900 --> 00:11:43.460
 you ask the average soldier,

00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:44.600
 would you rather go in

00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:45.900
 with a rifle or a horn

00:11:45.900 --> 00:11:46.460
 and they'll pick

00:11:46.460 --> 00:11:47.440
 the rifle every day.

00:11:47.700 --> 00:11:48.340
 Do you want to go in

00:11:48.340 --> 00:11:49.660
 with a sword or a horn?

00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:50.820
 They'll pick the sword.

00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:52.100
 The point is

00:11:52.100 --> 00:11:53.800
 that God's going to do

00:11:53.800 --> 00:11:54.379
 the delivery.

00:11:54.379 --> 00:11:56.460
 That's the whole point

00:11:56.460 --> 00:11:57.100
 of the story,

00:11:57.220 --> 00:11:57.439
 right?

00:11:58.480 --> 00:11:59.759
 God's going to do something

00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:00.779
 so that nobody

00:12:00.779 --> 00:12:02.580
 with even an ounce

00:12:02.580 --> 00:12:03.279
 of intelligence

00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:04.220
 can look and say

00:12:04.220 --> 00:12:04.960
 that we had anything

00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:05.899
 to do with the victory.

00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:07.720
 That's the point

00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:08.259
 of the story.

00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:09.320
 It's not to say

00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:10.299
 there's something special

00:12:10.299 --> 00:12:11.559
 about Israeli horns

00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:13.139
 and shofars.

00:12:13.259 --> 00:12:13.500
 Sorry,

00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:14.799
 I hope I didn't offend

00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:16.080
 anybody who's here

00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:16.820
 or who listens

00:12:16.820 --> 00:12:17.700
 to the sermon later.

00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:18.320
 But,

00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:19.120
 that's what's going on

00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:19.580
 in the text.

00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:20.559
 So now we have

00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:21.440
 300 people.

00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:23.200
 Well,

00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:23.840
 what's going to happen?

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:24.340
 Let's see,

00:12:24.379 --> 00:12:25.340
 what happens next.

00:12:26.340 --> 00:12:26.539
 Now,

00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:26.919
 one of the things

00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:27.820
 which is really neat

00:12:27.820 --> 00:12:29.159
 is that,

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:30.600
 and this is really important

00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:31.539
 for us in the story.

00:12:31.700 --> 00:12:31.820
 See,

00:12:32.100 --> 00:12:34.279
 the thing about these stories

00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:35.320
 is that if you read them

00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:35.759
 and read them

00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:36.159
 and read them

00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:37.080
 and they get into you,

00:12:37.139 --> 00:12:38.740
 it forms you in a way

00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:39.580
 that me being able

00:12:39.580 --> 00:12:40.879
 to talk doesn't form you.

00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:41.960
 It forms you in a way

00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:42.980
 that,

00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.559
 it forms you

00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:46.200
 at a deep level.

00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:47.399
 Stories form you

00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:49.620
 in a very subtle,

00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:51.159
 but at the end of the day,

00:12:51.220 --> 00:12:52.720
 maybe even a more important way

00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:53.560
 than using something

00:12:53.560 --> 00:12:54.360
 like a creed.

00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:56.340
 And one of the things

00:12:56.340 --> 00:12:57.100
 which is so wonderful

00:12:57.100 --> 00:12:57.940
 about the story

00:12:57.940 --> 00:12:58.420
 is this,

00:12:58.480 --> 00:12:59.220
 that the Lord knows

00:12:59.220 --> 00:12:59.980
 when you're afraid.

00:13:01.700 --> 00:13:02.100
 Like,

00:13:02.160 --> 00:13:02.920
 if there are some of us

00:13:02.920 --> 00:13:03.639
 here today

00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.139
 who are struggling

00:13:05.139 --> 00:13:05.759
 with fear

00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:06.600
 about something,

00:13:07.680 --> 00:13:09.320
 you don't have to worry

00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:10.620
 about pouring your heart out

00:13:10.620 --> 00:13:11.360
 about your fear

00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:11.840
 to the Lord

00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:12.300
 because the Lord

00:13:12.300 --> 00:13:12.860
 already knows

00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:13.379
 you're afraid.

00:13:14.899 --> 00:13:15.580
 And the Lord

00:13:15.580 --> 00:13:16.759
 doesn't despise you

00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:17.740
 because you have fear.

00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:19.680
 If you go back

00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:20.659
 and you read in the Gospels

00:13:20.659 --> 00:13:21.460
 time and time

00:13:21.460 --> 00:13:22.560
 and time and time again,

00:13:22.680 --> 00:13:23.279
 Jesus says,

00:13:23.419 --> 00:13:24.159
 do not be afraid.

00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:25.080
 He doesn't say,

00:13:25.220 --> 00:13:25.840
 do not be afraid

00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:26.539
 to shame you

00:13:26.539 --> 00:13:27.220
 if you're afraid.

00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:28.860
 He lets you know

00:13:28.860 --> 00:13:30.220
 that he's with you

00:13:30.220 --> 00:13:32.159
 even though you're afraid.

00:13:33.259 --> 00:13:33.879
 And so here,

00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:34.799
 even before Gideon

00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:35.240
 can say,

00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:35.600
 Lord,

00:13:35.700 --> 00:13:37.060
 I am terrified,

00:13:38.019 --> 00:13:38.779
 the Lord knows

00:13:38.779 --> 00:13:39.480
 he's afraid.

00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:40.360
 And so the Lord

00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:41.560
 goes ahead

00:13:41.560 --> 00:13:42.740
 of Gideon's fear,

00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:43.419
 so to speak,

00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:44.440
 speaks into it.

00:13:45.500 --> 00:13:46.139
 We don't know

00:13:46.139 --> 00:13:46.639
 whether Gideon

00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:47.000
 would have been

00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:47.600
 too afraid

00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:48.279
 to acknowledge

00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:49.279
 it before him or not,

00:13:49.340 --> 00:13:49.879
 but the Lord

00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:50.639
 knows he's afraid

00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:51.120
 and that's what

00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:51.720
 happens next.

00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:53.059
 That same night,

00:13:53.220 --> 00:13:53.759
 verse 9,

00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:55.440
 the Lord said to Gideon,

00:13:55.779 --> 00:13:56.200
 arise,

00:13:56.340 --> 00:13:57.580
 go down against the camp,

00:13:57.620 --> 00:13:58.019
 in other words,

00:13:58.080 --> 00:13:59.179
 right up to the very edge

00:13:59.179 --> 00:13:59.480
 of it,

00:13:59.940 --> 00:14:00.799
 for I have given it

00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:01.519
 into your hand.

00:14:01.659 --> 00:14:03.580
 But if you are afraid

00:14:03.580 --> 00:14:04.539
 to go down,

00:14:05.460 --> 00:14:06.379
 go down to the camp

00:14:06.379 --> 00:14:07.000
 with Purah,

00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:08.019
 your servant,

00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:09.700
 and you shall hear

00:14:09.700 --> 00:14:10.440
 what they say.

00:14:11.379 --> 00:14:12.080
 And afterward,

00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:13.519
 your hand shall be

00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:14.000
 strengthened

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:15.139
 to go down

00:14:15.139 --> 00:14:15.980
 against the camp.

00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:17.860
 Then Gideon

00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:18.440
 went down

00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:19.139
 with Purah,

00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:19.879
 his servant,

00:14:20.059 --> 00:14:22.100
 to be to the outposts

00:14:22.100 --> 00:14:22.980
 of the armed men

00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:23.980
 who were in the camp.

00:14:24.580 --> 00:14:26.039
 So the Lord knows

00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:26.940
 he's afraid.

00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:28.299
 And the Lord knows

00:14:28.299 --> 00:14:28.720
 he's afraid

00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:29.519
 even to go down

00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:30.399
 and get close.

00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:32.659
 So he speaks

00:14:32.659 --> 00:14:33.240
 into it

00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:33.919
 because the Lord

00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:34.940
 knows we're afraid

00:14:34.940 --> 00:14:36.340
 when we're afraid.

00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:38.259
 And,

00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:40.120
 you know,

00:14:40.259 --> 00:14:41.039
 just once again,

00:14:41.139 --> 00:14:42.080
 think of verse 2.

00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:44.820
 he wants them

00:14:44.820 --> 00:14:45.240
 to know

00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:45.879
 that he is

00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:47.000
 the mighty deliverer,

00:14:47.460 --> 00:14:48.580
 that there's no reason

00:14:48.580 --> 00:14:49.540
 that we should boast

00:14:49.540 --> 00:14:50.580
 about our strength

00:14:50.580 --> 00:14:51.660
 or our accomplishment.

00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:52.780
 In other words,

00:14:52.860 --> 00:14:53.480
 he wants them

00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:54.220
 to understand

00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:55.100
 that they're weak.

00:14:55.920 --> 00:14:56.920
 And it isn't

00:14:56.920 --> 00:14:57.520
 that the Lord

00:14:57.520 --> 00:14:58.160
 looks down

00:14:58.160 --> 00:14:58.620
 and says,

00:14:58.720 --> 00:14:59.500
 I'm only going to

00:14:59.500 --> 00:15:01.100
 save the strong people.

00:15:01.379 --> 00:15:02.460
 I'm only going to

00:15:02.460 --> 00:15:04.520
 save the fearless people.

00:15:05.160 --> 00:15:05.580
 No,

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:07.200
 he saves us

00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.040
 when we are fearful.

00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:10.599
 And this next part

00:15:10.599 --> 00:15:11.059
 of the story,

00:15:11.199 --> 00:15:12.199
 which is very subtle,

00:15:12.659 --> 00:15:13.579
 also says,

00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:14.099
 I'm going to

00:15:14.099 --> 00:15:15.839
 deal with you

00:15:15.839 --> 00:15:16.480
 and save you

00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:17.319
 even though

00:15:17.319 --> 00:15:18.679
 your heart

00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:19.620
 is still given

00:15:19.620 --> 00:15:20.559
 to a pagan

00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:21.480
 understanding

00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:22.199
 of me.

00:15:23.860 --> 00:15:24.879
 It's a very

00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:26.000
 small thing,

00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:26.839
 but just before

00:15:26.839 --> 00:15:27.419
 we get that,

00:15:27.839 --> 00:15:28.439
 we have to see

00:15:28.439 --> 00:15:29.039
 something that's

00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:30.360
 going to help

00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:32.579
 emphasize the magnitude

00:15:32.579 --> 00:15:33.240
 of what the Lord

00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:33.819
 is about to do.

00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:34.480
 Verse 12,

00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:36.860
 And the Midianites

00:15:36.860 --> 00:15:37.899
 and the Amalekites

00:15:37.899 --> 00:15:38.879
 and all the people

00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:39.460
 of the East

00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:40.759
 lay along the valley

00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:41.919
 like locusts

00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:42.500
 in abundance,

00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:44.500
 and their camels

00:15:44.500 --> 00:15:45.580
 were without number

00:15:45.580 --> 00:15:47.259
 as the sand

00:15:47.259 --> 00:15:48.740
 that is on the seashore

00:15:48.740 --> 00:15:49.919
 in abundance.

00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:51.939
 So here's Gideon

00:15:51.939 --> 00:15:52.639
 and Purah.

00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:53.740
 He has

00:15:53.740 --> 00:15:56.379
 299 men

00:15:56.379 --> 00:15:58.100
 back in the bush

00:15:58.100 --> 00:16:00.019
 and he looks down

00:16:00.019 --> 00:16:00.899
 and he sees

00:16:00.899 --> 00:16:01.799
 that you can't even

00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:02.759
 begin to count them.

00:16:03.179 --> 00:16:04.340
 Like 32,000

00:16:04.340 --> 00:16:05.159
 wouldn't have been enough.

00:16:06.100 --> 00:16:06.779
 They just seem

00:16:06.779 --> 00:16:08.000
 to stretch on forever

00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:09.000
 into the distance.

00:16:09.100 --> 00:16:09.440
 The lights

00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:10.700
 of the torches

00:16:10.700 --> 00:16:11.600
 and the campfire.

00:16:11.659 --> 00:16:12.659
 It just goes on

00:16:12.659 --> 00:16:13.799
 and on and on

00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:14.399
 like sand

00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:15.080
 in the seashore.

00:16:17.259 --> 00:16:18.120
 But Gideon

00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:19.220
 goes on down

00:16:19.220 --> 00:16:20.279
 close to the outpost

00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:21.059
 and here's

00:16:21.059 --> 00:16:21.799
 where we see

00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:22.200
 the Lord

00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:23.419
 takes great compassion

00:16:23.419 --> 00:16:24.080
 on him.

00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:24.600
 You see,

00:16:25.299 --> 00:16:25.840
 the Lord

00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:26.519
 doesn't wait

00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:27.059
 for you to have

00:16:27.059 --> 00:16:28.019
 perfect theology

00:16:28.019 --> 00:16:28.899
 to save you.

00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:30.919
 The Lord

00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:31.600
 doesn't wait

00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:32.500
 for you to have

00:16:32.500 --> 00:16:35.120
 like all religion

00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:36.480
 and all spirituality

00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:37.279
 says,

00:16:37.539 --> 00:16:37.740
 okay,

00:16:37.860 --> 00:16:38.440
 start to get

00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:39.299
 your life together

00:16:39.299 --> 00:16:41.899
 and learn

00:16:41.899 --> 00:16:42.259
 how to do

00:16:42.259 --> 00:16:42.919
 these rituals

00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:43.320
 and learn

00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:43.639
 how to do

00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:44.659
 a few good things

00:16:44.659 --> 00:16:46.000
 and then if you do that

00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:46.700
 you can sort of

00:16:46.700 --> 00:16:47.620
 start to maybe

00:16:47.620 --> 00:16:48.440
 talk to me

00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:48.860
 and I'll pay

00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:49.220
 a little bit

00:16:49.220 --> 00:16:49.659
 of attention

00:16:49.659 --> 00:16:50.000
 to you

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:50.580
 and if you really

00:16:50.580 --> 00:16:51.179
 do that

00:16:51.179 --> 00:16:51.879
 very well

00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:53.840
 then I'll save you.

00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:56.159
 And the gospel message

00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:57.200
 is the complete opposite.

00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:58.519
 The gospel message is,

00:16:58.899 --> 00:16:59.080
 listen,

00:16:59.159 --> 00:16:59.840
 I know you can't

00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:00.539
 defeat Midian

00:17:00.539 --> 00:17:01.860
 and I know you like

00:17:01.860 --> 00:17:02.399
 to boast

00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:03.579
 and I know

00:17:03.579 --> 00:17:04.359
 that at the end

00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:04.819
 of the day

00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:05.460
 you have more

00:17:05.460 --> 00:17:06.440
 of a pagan notion

00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:06.899
 of God

00:17:06.899 --> 00:17:07.539
 than me

00:17:07.539 --> 00:17:08.619
 but I'm going

00:17:08.619 --> 00:17:09.220
 to deliver you.

00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:11.740
 And the Christian

00:17:11.740 --> 00:17:12.399
 life flows out

00:17:12.399 --> 00:17:12.819
 of God

00:17:12.819 --> 00:17:13.559
 delivering us

00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:14.079
 when we were

00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:14.839
 weak and helpless

00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:15.700
 and not deserving

00:17:15.700 --> 00:17:16.759
 of being saved

00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:18.859
 and all of the

00:17:18.859 --> 00:17:19.420
 Christian life

00:17:19.420 --> 00:17:20.079
 flows out of

00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:20.720
 God's mighty

00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:21.240
 deliverance

00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:21.619
 when we were

00:17:21.619 --> 00:17:22.099
 unworthy.

00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:23.740
 So here's

00:17:23.740 --> 00:17:25.079
 how it works here

00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:25.460
 if you look

00:17:25.460 --> 00:17:26.339
 at verse 13.

00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:29.859
 When Gideon

00:17:29.859 --> 00:17:30.440
 came

00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:31.519
 now he's right

00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:31.900
 up against

00:17:31.900 --> 00:17:32.380
 the edge

00:17:32.380 --> 00:17:33.080
 of the outpost

00:17:33.080 --> 00:17:34.039
 behold a man

00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:34.539
 was telling

00:17:34.539 --> 00:17:35.140
 a dream

00:17:35.140 --> 00:17:36.059
 to his comrades

00:17:36.059 --> 00:17:36.660
 so this is a

00:17:36.660 --> 00:17:37.100
 Midianite

00:17:37.100 --> 00:17:38.360
 or an Amalekite

00:17:38.360 --> 00:17:39.460
 or one of the

00:17:39.460 --> 00:17:40.400
 nomadic tribes

00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:41.100
 from the east

00:17:41.100 --> 00:17:42.460
 that's there

00:17:42.460 --> 00:17:43.100
 they're armed

00:17:43.100 --> 00:17:43.720
 they're on the

00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:44.820
 edge of the camp

00:17:44.820 --> 00:17:45.700
 keeping watch

00:17:45.700 --> 00:17:46.759
 and so I'll read

00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:47.519
 verse 13 again

00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:48.420
 when Gideon came

00:17:48.420 --> 00:17:49.299
 behold a man

00:17:49.299 --> 00:17:49.720
 was telling

00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:50.140
 a dream

00:17:50.140 --> 00:17:50.980
 to his comrade

00:17:50.980 --> 00:17:52.559
 and the man

00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:53.180
 said behold

00:17:53.180 --> 00:17:54.320
 I dreamed a dream

00:17:54.320 --> 00:17:54.860
 and behold

00:17:54.860 --> 00:17:55.400
 a cake

00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:56.440
 of barley bread

00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:57.700
 tumbled

00:17:57.700 --> 00:17:58.799
 into the camp

00:17:58.799 --> 00:17:59.360
 of Midian

00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:00.159
 and came

00:18:00.159 --> 00:18:00.779
 to the tent

00:18:00.779 --> 00:18:01.479
 and struck

00:18:01.479 --> 00:18:01.759
 it

00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:02.899
 so that it

00:18:02.899 --> 00:18:03.359
 fell

00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:05.219
 so it fell

00:18:05.219 --> 00:18:05.879
 and turned

00:18:05.879 --> 00:18:06.519
 it upside

00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:07.039
 down

00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:07.599
 so that the

00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:08.179
 tent lay

00:18:08.179 --> 00:18:08.699
 flat

00:18:08.699 --> 00:18:10.439
 now just

00:18:10.439 --> 00:18:11.019
 before I read

00:18:11.019 --> 00:18:11.779
 verse 14

00:18:11.779 --> 00:18:12.439
 the interpretation

00:18:12.439 --> 00:18:13.139
 this is like

00:18:13.139 --> 00:18:13.619
 most dreams

00:18:13.619 --> 00:18:14.379
 this is absurd

00:18:14.379 --> 00:18:16.579
 like I'm not

00:18:16.579 --> 00:18:17.539
 a camper

00:18:17.539 --> 00:18:18.219
 but generally

00:18:18.219 --> 00:18:18.979
 speaking if a

00:18:18.979 --> 00:18:19.740
 barley muffin

00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:20.419
 fell in the

00:18:20.419 --> 00:18:21.159
 tent I wouldn't

00:18:21.159 --> 00:18:21.619
 worry the

00:18:21.619 --> 00:18:22.059
 tent's going

00:18:22.059 --> 00:18:22.599
 to collapse

00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:24.539
 and so here

00:18:24.539 --> 00:18:24.980
 we have

00:18:24.980 --> 00:18:25.319
 a little

00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:27.019
 a bun

00:18:27.019 --> 00:18:28.679
 barley bun

00:18:28.679 --> 00:18:29.240
 in the dream

00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:29.619
 it's like

00:18:29.619 --> 00:18:29.980
 dreams

00:18:29.980 --> 00:18:30.859
 it comes

00:18:30.859 --> 00:18:31.319
 rolling in

00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:31.579
 the whole

00:18:31.579 --> 00:18:32.119
 tent gets

00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:32.879
 not only

00:18:32.879 --> 00:18:33.459
 knocked over

00:18:33.459 --> 00:18:33.939
 but turned

00:18:33.939 --> 00:18:34.659
 upside down

00:18:34.659 --> 00:18:35.519
 completely absurd

00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:35.779
 dream

00:18:35.779 --> 00:18:36.199
 like most

00:18:36.199 --> 00:18:36.480
 of our

00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:36.859
 dreams

00:18:36.859 --> 00:18:37.159
 right

00:18:37.159 --> 00:18:38.019
 but here's

00:18:38.019 --> 00:18:38.759
 the interpretation

00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:39.579
 verse 14

00:18:39.579 --> 00:18:40.500
 his comrade

00:18:40.500 --> 00:18:40.839
 answered

00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:41.439
 this is no

00:18:41.439 --> 00:18:42.459
 other than

00:18:42.459 --> 00:18:42.799
 the sword

00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:43.319
 of Gideon

00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:43.879
 the son

00:18:43.879 --> 00:18:44.559
 of Joash

00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:45.339
 a man

00:18:45.339 --> 00:18:45.839
 of Israel

00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:47.240
 God has

00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:47.859
 given into

00:18:47.859 --> 00:18:48.519
 his hand

00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:49.379
 Midian

00:18:49.380 --> 00:18:49.960
 and all

00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:50.480
 the camp

00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:52.140
 now just

00:18:52.140 --> 00:18:52.720
 sort of

00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:52.980
 you know

00:18:52.980 --> 00:18:53.520
 pause here

00:18:53.520 --> 00:18:53.980
 for a second

00:18:53.980 --> 00:18:54.820
 why did I

00:18:54.820 --> 00:18:55.340
 say that

00:18:55.340 --> 00:18:55.680
 this is

00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:56.020
 actually

00:18:56.020 --> 00:18:56.520
 God

00:18:56.520 --> 00:18:58.020
 condescending

00:18:58.020 --> 00:18:58.960
 to Gideon

00:18:58.960 --> 00:18:59.900
 like if you

00:18:59.900 --> 00:19:00.360
 go back

00:19:00.360 --> 00:19:00.680
 and read

00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:01.440
 episode 1

00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:02.140
 you'll discover

00:19:02.140 --> 00:19:02.580
 that

00:19:02.580 --> 00:19:04.980
 in chapter 6

00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:05.660
 you'll discover

00:19:05.660 --> 00:19:06.260
 that when

00:19:06.260 --> 00:19:07.800
 Gideon finally

00:19:07.800 --> 00:19:09.040
 has like a

00:19:09.040 --> 00:19:10.060
 huge miracle

00:19:10.060 --> 00:19:11.280
 done in front

00:19:11.280 --> 00:19:11.560
 of him

00:19:11.560 --> 00:19:12.240
 and he believes

00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:12.720
 in fact

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:13.360
 that the Lord

00:19:13.360 --> 00:19:14.260
 is calling him

00:19:14.260 --> 00:19:15.220
 to do this

00:19:15.220 --> 00:19:16.240
 remarkable thing

00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:17.440
 and he goes

00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:18.040
 back and you

00:19:18.040 --> 00:19:18.800
 discover that

00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:19.799
 Gideon's

00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:20.700
 family are

00:19:20.700 --> 00:19:21.460
 the ones

00:19:21.460 --> 00:19:21.919
 who look

00:19:21.919 --> 00:19:22.899
 after Baal

00:19:22.899 --> 00:19:23.559
 and the

00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:24.099
 Asherah

00:19:24.099 --> 00:19:25.379
 they're the

00:19:25.379 --> 00:19:26.119
 sponsors

00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:26.720
 the patron

00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:27.259
 for it

00:19:27.259 --> 00:19:28.460
 they're in a

00:19:28.460 --> 00:19:28.879
 sense the

00:19:28.879 --> 00:19:29.700
 leading Baal

00:19:29.700 --> 00:19:30.299
 worshippers

00:19:30.299 --> 00:19:30.700
 of their

00:19:30.700 --> 00:19:31.159
 community

00:19:31.159 --> 00:19:32.740
 and then

00:19:32.740 --> 00:19:33.279
 you go

00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:33.599
 and you read

00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:34.079
 the story

00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:34.460
 and how

00:19:34.460 --> 00:19:35.159
 God tells

00:19:35.159 --> 00:19:35.419
 them to

00:19:35.419 --> 00:19:35.720
 tear it

00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:35.919
 down

00:19:35.919 --> 00:19:36.720
 and destroy

00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:37.159
 it

00:19:37.159 --> 00:19:38.000
 now

00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.319
 here's the

00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:40.960
 really big

00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:41.220
 thing

00:19:41.220 --> 00:19:42.480
 unlike idols

00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:43.279
 the triune

00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:44.279
 God is love

00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:45.819
 and he loves

00:19:45.819 --> 00:19:46.680
 ordinary people

00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:47.200
 like you

00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:48.220
 unlike idols

00:19:48.220 --> 00:19:48.819
 the triune

00:19:48.819 --> 00:19:49.600
 God is love

00:19:49.600 --> 00:19:50.200
 and he loves

00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:51.059
 ordinary people

00:19:51.059 --> 00:19:51.620
 like you

00:19:51.620 --> 00:19:53.079
 you see

00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:54.799
 if

00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:56.759
 so Louise

00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:57.200
 and I

00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:57.779
 I think

00:19:57.779 --> 00:19:58.039
 can

00:19:58.039 --> 00:19:59.440
 have to be

00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:00.000
 we'll be

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:00.920
 39 years

00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:01.600
 married in

00:20:01.600 --> 00:20:02.259
 October

00:20:02.259 --> 00:20:04.039
 it's a long

00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:04.400
 time

00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:05.620
 not long

00:20:05.620 --> 00:20:05.940
 enough

00:20:05.940 --> 00:20:07.200
 long time

00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:08.539
 and if

00:20:08.539 --> 00:20:10.059
 on our

00:20:10.059 --> 00:20:10.860
 wedding day

00:20:10.860 --> 00:20:12.120
 Louise and I

00:20:12.120 --> 00:20:12.660
 talk to each

00:20:12.660 --> 00:20:12.819
 other

00:20:12.819 --> 00:20:13.420
 exchange our

00:20:13.420 --> 00:20:13.720
 vows

00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:14.000
 and then

00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:14.240
 for the

00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:14.420
 next

00:20:14.420 --> 00:20:14.740
 39

00:20:14.740 --> 00:20:15.019
 years

00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:15.160
 we

00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:15.360
 never

00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:15.740
 talk

00:20:15.740 --> 00:20:16.120
 to each

00:20:16.120 --> 00:20:16.360
 other

00:20:16.360 --> 00:20:18.279
 and we

00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:18.660
 can

00:20:18.660 --> 00:20:18.880
 I mean

00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:19.200
 we talk

00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:19.460
 to other

00:20:19.460 --> 00:20:19.799
 people

00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:20.039
 but we

00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:20.200
 never

00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:20.799
 talk

00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:21.100
 to each

00:20:21.100 --> 00:20:21.279
 other

00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:21.579
 that would

00:20:21.579 --> 00:20:22.039
 be just

00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:22.860
 wrong

00:20:22.860 --> 00:20:23.420
 weird

00:20:23.420 --> 00:20:24.140
 and wrong

00:20:24.140 --> 00:20:25.740
 because it's

00:20:25.740 --> 00:20:26.180
 of the nature

00:20:26.180 --> 00:20:26.519
 of love

00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:27.079
 to talk

00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:27.960
 to each

00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:28.180
 other

00:20:28.180 --> 00:20:29.299
 it's

00:20:29.299 --> 00:20:29.539
 of the

00:20:29.539 --> 00:20:29.799
 nature

00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:30.240
 of love

00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:30.700
 to reveal

00:20:30.700 --> 00:20:31.180
 yourself

00:20:31.180 --> 00:20:31.500
 to the

00:20:31.500 --> 00:20:31.660
 other

00:20:31.660 --> 00:20:32.019
 person

00:20:32.019 --> 00:20:32.339
 and you

00:20:32.339 --> 00:20:32.819
 reveal

00:20:32.819 --> 00:20:33.220
 yourself

00:20:33.220 --> 00:20:33.600
 not just

00:20:33.600 --> 00:20:33.960
 by your

00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:34.380
 actions

00:20:34.380 --> 00:20:34.860
 but also

00:20:34.860 --> 00:20:35.259
 by your

00:20:35.259 --> 00:20:35.660
 words

00:20:35.660 --> 00:20:35.940
 as you

00:20:35.940 --> 00:20:36.360
 interpret

00:20:36.360 --> 00:20:36.600
 your

00:20:36.600 --> 00:20:36.980
 actions

00:20:36.980 --> 00:20:37.440
 or try

00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:37.700
 to

00:20:37.700 --> 00:20:38.579
 or you

00:20:38.579 --> 00:20:38.880
 deal

00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:39.259
 with it

00:20:39.259 --> 00:20:39.440
 in

00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:39.980
 consistency

00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:40.819
 with it

00:20:40.819 --> 00:20:41.839
 and last

00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:42.039
 week

00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:42.339
 one of the

00:20:42.339 --> 00:20:42.539
 things

00:20:42.539 --> 00:20:42.779
 that we

00:20:42.779 --> 00:20:43.079
 saw

00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:43.480
 was that

00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:44.019
 the charge

00:20:44.019 --> 00:20:44.419
 that God

00:20:44.419 --> 00:20:44.939
 brought about

00:20:44.939 --> 00:20:45.439
 his people

00:20:45.439 --> 00:20:45.879
 is and we

00:20:45.879 --> 00:20:46.500
 don't really

00:20:46.500 --> 00:20:47.179
 grasp what

00:20:47.179 --> 00:20:47.639
 this means

00:20:47.639 --> 00:20:48.879
 because we

00:20:48.879 --> 00:20:49.700
 don't fully

00:20:49.700 --> 00:20:50.899
 grasp the

00:20:50.899 --> 00:20:51.700
 uniqueness of

00:20:51.700 --> 00:20:52.279
 the triune

00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:52.659
 God

00:20:52.659 --> 00:20:53.119
 that in the

00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:53.379
 nature

00:20:53.379 --> 00:20:53.700
 the very

00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:54.059
 nature

00:20:54.059 --> 00:20:54.319
 of the

00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:54.679
 triune

00:20:54.679 --> 00:20:55.000
 God

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:55.299
 is that

00:20:55.299 --> 00:20:55.720
 from all

00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:56.139
 eternity

00:20:56.139 --> 00:20:56.619
 the Father

00:20:56.619 --> 00:20:56.960
 has loved

00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:57.419
 the Son

00:20:57.419 --> 00:20:58.259
 and the Son

00:20:58.259 --> 00:20:58.539
 has loved

00:20:58.539 --> 00:20:59.059
 the Father

00:20:59.059 --> 00:20:59.500
 and the Holy

00:20:59.500 --> 00:20:59.879
 Spirit

00:20:59.879 --> 00:21:00.220
 is both

00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:00.480
 another

00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:01.119
 person

00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:02.319
 also

00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:03.460
 communicating

00:21:03.460 --> 00:21:03.779
 love

00:21:03.779 --> 00:21:04.419
 but is also

00:21:04.419 --> 00:21:04.919
 sometimes

00:21:04.919 --> 00:21:05.559
 described as

00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:06.299
 love itself

00:21:06.299 --> 00:21:06.579
 and you

00:21:06.579 --> 00:21:06.899
 have this

00:21:06.899 --> 00:21:08.339
 marvelous

00:21:08.339 --> 00:21:09.179
 picture of

00:21:09.179 --> 00:21:09.599
 from all

00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:10.079
 eternity

00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:10.359
 this

00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:10.799
 over

00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:11.379
 flow of

00:21:11.379 --> 00:21:11.879
 love

00:21:11.879 --> 00:21:12.240
 given

00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:13.000
 and received

00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:13.299
 this

00:21:13.299 --> 00:21:14.200
 overflow

00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:14.619
 of

00:21:14.619 --> 00:21:15.359
 communication

00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:15.819
 given

00:21:15.819 --> 00:21:16.399
 and received

00:21:16.399 --> 00:21:16.779
 and it's

00:21:16.779 --> 00:21:17.099
 out of

00:21:17.099 --> 00:21:17.299
 this

00:21:17.299 --> 00:21:17.960
 overflow

00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:18.359
 of

00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:18.919
 love

00:21:18.919 --> 00:21:19.460
 that

00:21:19.460 --> 00:21:19.779
 God

00:21:19.779 --> 00:21:20.539
 creates

00:21:20.539 --> 00:21:21.779
 but for

00:21:21.779 --> 00:21:22.359
 idols

00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:23.700
 the gods

00:21:23.700 --> 00:21:24.119
 create

00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:24.960
 human beings

00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:25.279
 to be

00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:26.259
 their slaves

00:21:26.259 --> 00:21:27.519
 to feed

00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:27.799
 them

00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:28.879
 and in

00:21:28.879 --> 00:21:29.259
 much of

00:21:29.259 --> 00:21:29.799
 the world

00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:31.279
 you have

00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:31.859
 a distant

00:21:31.859 --> 00:21:32.319
 God

00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:32.659
 like in

00:21:32.659 --> 00:21:32.940
 Islam

00:21:32.940 --> 00:21:33.279
 you have

00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:33.759
 a distant

00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:34.119
 God

00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:34.419
 and when

00:21:34.419 --> 00:21:34.680
 you have

00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:35.220
 a distant

00:21:35.220 --> 00:21:35.740
 God

00:21:35.740 --> 00:21:35.980
 when you

00:21:35.980 --> 00:21:36.279
 have a

00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:36.680
 solitary

00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:37.299
 God

00:21:37.299 --> 00:21:37.899
 or when

00:21:37.899 --> 00:21:38.180
 you have

00:21:38.180 --> 00:21:38.960
 the gods

00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:39.899
 the God

00:21:39.900 --> 00:21:40.420
 doesn't

00:21:40.420 --> 00:21:41.080
 speak to

00:21:41.080 --> 00:21:41.300
 you

00:21:41.300 --> 00:21:41.940
 directly

00:21:41.940 --> 00:21:44.100
 like in

00:21:44.100 --> 00:21:44.720
 Islam

00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:46.580
 Allah

00:21:46.580 --> 00:21:47.880
 does not

00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:48.820
 speak to

00:21:48.820 --> 00:21:49.259
 Muhammad

00:21:49.259 --> 00:21:50.420
 Allah

00:21:50.420 --> 00:21:51.420
 speaks to

00:21:51.420 --> 00:21:51.980
 an angel

00:21:51.980 --> 00:21:52.980
 who speaks

00:21:52.980 --> 00:21:53.880
 to Muhammad

00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.460
 because the

00:21:56.460 --> 00:21:57.280
 God

00:21:57.280 --> 00:21:58.160
 does not

00:21:58.160 --> 00:21:58.980
 communicate to

00:21:58.980 --> 00:21:59.600
 you directly

00:21:59.600 --> 00:22:00.460
 because it's

00:22:00.460 --> 00:22:01.140
 really at the

00:22:01.140 --> 00:22:01.540
 end of the

00:22:01.540 --> 00:22:01.880
 day

00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:03.160
 love

00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:04.400
 is not the

00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:05.019
 defining

00:22:05.019 --> 00:22:05.980
 characteristic

00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:06.480
 of the

00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:06.880
 God

00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:07.280
 that is

00:22:07.280 --> 00:22:08.080
 described by

00:22:08.080 --> 00:22:08.640
 that religion

00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:09.500
 or spirituality

00:22:09.500 --> 00:22:10.759
 and so

00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:11.340
 that's why

00:22:11.340 --> 00:22:11.740
 it is

00:22:11.740 --> 00:22:12.020
 that in

00:22:12.020 --> 00:22:12.880
 most religions

00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:13.640
 dreams are

00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:14.440
 really important

00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:16.259
 because that's

00:22:16.259 --> 00:22:16.840
 how God

00:22:16.840 --> 00:22:17.780
 communicates to

00:22:17.780 --> 00:22:18.780
 you indirectly

00:22:18.780 --> 00:22:20.420
 through dreams

00:22:20.420 --> 00:22:22.759
 in Islam

00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:24.440
 dreams are

00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:25.120
 remarkably

00:22:25.120 --> 00:22:25.700
 important

00:22:25.700 --> 00:22:26.700
 and many

00:22:26.700 --> 00:22:27.160
 Muslims

00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:27.600
 will make

00:22:27.600 --> 00:22:28.320
 no decision

00:22:28.320 --> 00:22:29.040
 unless they

00:22:29.040 --> 00:22:29.400
 have first

00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:30.100
 had a dream

00:22:30.100 --> 00:22:31.759
 that communicates

00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:32.020
 to them

00:22:32.020 --> 00:22:32.759
 what God's

00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:33.300
 will is to

00:22:33.300 --> 00:22:34.020
 them communicated

00:22:34.020 --> 00:22:35.100
 indirectly

00:22:35.100 --> 00:22:36.280
 as with

00:22:36.280 --> 00:22:37.180
 paganism

00:22:37.180 --> 00:22:37.920
 as with

00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:39.060
 much of

00:22:39.060 --> 00:22:39.620
 monism

00:22:39.620 --> 00:22:40.799
 the dream

00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:42.680
 is spectacularly

00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:43.480
 significant

00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:45.500
 we don't

00:22:45.500 --> 00:22:46.380
 fully appreciate

00:22:46.380 --> 00:22:47.220
 that because

00:22:47.220 --> 00:22:48.140
 the Christian

00:22:48.140 --> 00:22:48.860
 view

00:22:48.860 --> 00:22:50.380
 is that God

00:22:50.380 --> 00:22:50.740
 is the

00:22:50.740 --> 00:22:51.660
 triune God

00:22:51.660 --> 00:22:52.080
 whom from

00:22:52.080 --> 00:22:53.019
 all eternity

00:22:53.019 --> 00:22:53.500
 has been

00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:54.060
 loving the

00:22:54.060 --> 00:22:54.700
 son and the

00:22:54.700 --> 00:22:55.220
 son has loved

00:22:55.220 --> 00:22:55.720
 the father

00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:56.000
 and the

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:56.539
 holy spirit

00:22:56.539 --> 00:22:57.180
 is love

00:22:57.180 --> 00:22:58.440
 and the

00:22:58.440 --> 00:22:58.900
 father is

00:22:58.900 --> 00:22:59.299
 good to

00:22:59.299 --> 00:22:59.740
 the son

00:22:59.740 --> 00:23:00.000
 and the

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:00.279
 son is

00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:00.560
 good to

00:23:00.560 --> 00:23:01.060
 the father

00:23:01.060 --> 00:23:01.480
 and there's

00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:01.900
 in a sense

00:23:01.900 --> 00:23:03.160
 this communication

00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:04.480
 this revelation

00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:05.400
 this opening

00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:06.200
 of the self

00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:06.539
 and the

00:23:06.539 --> 00:23:06.980
 giving of

00:23:06.980 --> 00:23:07.440
 the self

00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:07.740
 and the

00:23:07.740 --> 00:23:08.360
 receiving of

00:23:08.360 --> 00:23:08.799
 the self

00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:10.360
 and God

00:23:10.360 --> 00:23:11.039
 has created

00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:11.900
 us out of

00:23:11.900 --> 00:23:12.700
 who he is

00:23:12.700 --> 00:23:13.319
 the triune God

00:23:13.319 --> 00:23:13.700
 has created

00:23:13.700 --> 00:23:14.319
 us out of

00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:14.819
 who he is

00:23:14.819 --> 00:23:15.420
 and so it

00:23:15.420 --> 00:23:16.279
 is that the

00:23:16.279 --> 00:23:17.120
 triune God

00:23:17.120 --> 00:23:18.200
 reveals himself

00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:20.420
 in words

00:23:20.420 --> 00:23:21.980
 directly

00:23:21.980 --> 00:23:24.539
 Gideon

00:23:24.539 --> 00:23:25.120
 hasn't got

00:23:25.120 --> 00:23:25.860
 this entirely

00:23:25.860 --> 00:23:27.640
 and because

00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:28.759
 he is

00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:29.680
 canonized

00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:32.080
 now he

00:23:32.080 --> 00:23:32.799
 really gets

00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:33.080
 it

00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:35.399
 because

00:23:35.399 --> 00:23:35.879
 a dream

00:23:35.879 --> 00:23:36.379
 is revealed

00:23:36.379 --> 00:23:36.740
 you see

00:23:36.740 --> 00:23:37.099
 once again

00:23:37.099 --> 00:23:37.339
 I'm just

00:23:37.339 --> 00:23:37.619
 going to

00:23:37.619 --> 00:23:37.759
 this

00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:38.039
 this is

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:39.059
 part of

00:23:39.059 --> 00:23:39.419
 why the

00:23:39.419 --> 00:23:39.919
 story is

00:23:39.919 --> 00:23:40.480
 so important

00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:40.919
 to us

00:23:40.919 --> 00:23:41.319
 you see

00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:42.699
 God

00:23:42.699 --> 00:23:43.379
 doesn't wait

00:23:43.379 --> 00:23:43.819
 for you

00:23:43.819 --> 00:23:44.159
 to have

00:23:44.159 --> 00:23:44.639
 a perfect

00:23:44.639 --> 00:23:45.240
 theology

00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:45.720
 he doesn't

00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:46.119
 wait for you

00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:46.359
 to have

00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:46.879
 a perfect

00:23:46.879 --> 00:23:47.519
 understanding

00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:47.879
 of who

00:23:47.879 --> 00:23:48.159
 he is

00:23:48.159 --> 00:23:48.559
 he doesn't

00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:49.139
 wait until

00:23:49.139 --> 00:23:49.659
 you're only

00:23:49.659 --> 00:23:50.279
 strong

00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:50.679
 and never

00:23:50.679 --> 00:23:51.019
 weak

00:23:51.019 --> 00:23:51.460
 he doesn't

00:23:51.460 --> 00:23:52.339
 wait until

00:23:52.339 --> 00:23:52.740
 you're only

00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:53.220
 good and

00:23:53.220 --> 00:23:53.899
 never bad

00:23:53.899 --> 00:23:57.119
 but when

00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:57.539
 you had

00:23:57.539 --> 00:23:58.199
 bad within

00:23:58.199 --> 00:23:58.419
 you

00:23:58.419 --> 00:23:58.779
 and when

00:23:58.779 --> 00:23:59.159
 you had

00:23:59.159 --> 00:23:59.639
 the most

00:23:59.639 --> 00:24:00.259
 crazy

00:24:00.259 --> 00:24:00.960
 absurd

00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:01.559
 ridiculous

00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:02.139
 notions

00:24:02.140 --> 00:24:02.600
 of God

00:24:02.600 --> 00:24:03.160
 still

00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:03.720
 he loved

00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:03.860
 you

00:24:03.860 --> 00:24:04.259
 and sends

00:24:04.259 --> 00:24:04.680
 his son

00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:05.380
 to die

00:24:05.380 --> 00:24:05.700
 for you

00:24:05.700 --> 00:24:06.220
 and he

00:24:06.220 --> 00:24:06.680
 does

00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:07.300
 everything

00:24:07.300 --> 00:24:07.880
 that needs

00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:08.140
 to be

00:24:08.140 --> 00:24:08.640
 accomplished

00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:09.580
 for you

00:24:09.580 --> 00:24:09.940
 to be

00:24:09.940 --> 00:24:10.480
 made right

00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:11.340
 with him

00:24:11.340 --> 00:24:12.860
 you do

00:24:12.860 --> 00:24:13.280
 nothing

00:24:13.280 --> 00:24:18.020
 so what

00:24:18.020 --> 00:24:18.400
 happens

00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:18.860
 next

00:24:18.860 --> 00:24:19.580
 well

00:24:19.580 --> 00:24:20.680
 now

00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:21.880
 Gideon

00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:22.800
 is really

00:24:22.800 --> 00:24:23.660
 energized

00:24:23.660 --> 00:24:24.460
 look at

00:24:24.460 --> 00:24:25.200
 what happens

00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:26.280
 in verse

00:24:26.280 --> 00:24:27.480
 15

00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:29.780
 as Gideon

00:24:29.780 --> 00:24:30.340
 as soon as

00:24:30.340 --> 00:24:30.800
 Gideon

00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:32.000
 heard the

00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:32.440
 telling of

00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:32.839
 the dream

00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:33.119
 and its

00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:33.839
 interpretation

00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:34.339
 he

00:24:34.339 --> 00:24:34.960
 worshipped

00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:35.779
 just pause

00:24:35.779 --> 00:24:36.659
 this is

00:24:36.659 --> 00:24:36.960
 just a

00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:37.440
 small thing

00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:37.759
 but it's

00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:38.500
 very important

00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:39.659
 and there's

00:24:39.659 --> 00:24:41.079
 nothing wrong

00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:41.599
 when we think

00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:41.980
 of the word

00:24:41.980 --> 00:24:42.359
 worship

00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:42.859
 we think

00:24:42.859 --> 00:24:43.240
 of all

00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:43.500
 of us

00:24:43.500 --> 00:24:44.019
 standing

00:24:44.019 --> 00:24:44.619
 and putting

00:24:44.619 --> 00:24:45.159
 our arms

00:24:45.159 --> 00:24:45.559
 up like

00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:45.779
 this

00:24:45.779 --> 00:24:46.460
 and exalting

00:24:46.460 --> 00:24:47.099
 we exalt

00:24:47.099 --> 00:24:47.279
 you

00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:47.759
 we exalt

00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:47.919
 you

00:24:47.919 --> 00:24:48.599
 that's

00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:48.879
 in a

00:24:48.879 --> 00:24:49.139
 sense

00:24:49.139 --> 00:24:49.879
 what we

00:24:49.879 --> 00:24:50.220
 understand

00:24:50.220 --> 00:24:50.619
 but here

00:24:50.619 --> 00:24:50.879
 you have

00:24:50.879 --> 00:24:51.339
 to understand

00:24:51.339 --> 00:24:51.619
 that what

00:24:51.619 --> 00:24:51.799
 they're

00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:52.079
 saying

00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:52.339
 is

00:24:52.339 --> 00:24:53.099
 face

00:24:53.099 --> 00:24:53.539
 time

00:24:53.539 --> 00:24:55.200
 as soon

00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:55.680
 as God

00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:56.639
 as Gideon

00:24:56.639 --> 00:24:57.200
 understands

00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:57.399
 it

00:24:57.399 --> 00:24:58.200
 he's flat

00:24:58.200 --> 00:24:58.519
 on his

00:24:58.519 --> 00:24:58.960
 face

00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:00.180
 arms spread

00:25:00.180 --> 00:25:00.380
 out

00:25:00.380 --> 00:25:01.100
 prostrate

00:25:01.100 --> 00:25:02.019
 that

00:25:02.019 --> 00:25:02.560
 usually

00:25:02.560 --> 00:25:02.920
 when you

00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:03.240
 see the

00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:03.440
 word

00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:04.100
 worshipped

00:25:04.100 --> 00:25:04.820
 in the

00:25:04.820 --> 00:25:05.539
 Old Testament

00:25:05.539 --> 00:25:06.480
 it's

00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:07.080
 describing

00:25:07.080 --> 00:25:07.820
 complete

00:25:07.820 --> 00:25:08.420
 and utter

00:25:08.420 --> 00:25:09.360
 prostration

00:25:09.360 --> 00:25:09.840
 it's an

00:25:09.840 --> 00:25:10.600
 acknowledgement

00:25:10.600 --> 00:25:11.840
 that

00:25:11.840 --> 00:25:12.440
 it's

00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:12.940
 making

00:25:12.940 --> 00:25:13.360
 yourself

00:25:13.360 --> 00:25:14.380
 defenseless

00:25:14.380 --> 00:25:16.180
 before the

00:25:16.180 --> 00:25:16.840
 triune God

00:25:16.840 --> 00:25:17.180
 and that's

00:25:17.180 --> 00:25:17.640
 what Gideon

00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:17.920
 does

00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:18.880
 he falls

00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:19.660
 flat on

00:25:19.660 --> 00:25:20.560
 his face

00:25:20.560 --> 00:25:21.600
 his arms

00:25:21.600 --> 00:25:21.960
 out

00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:23.140
 he is

00:25:23.140 --> 00:25:24.120
 defenseless

00:25:24.120 --> 00:25:24.580
 he is

00:25:24.580 --> 00:25:25.539
 worshipping

00:25:25.539 --> 00:25:26.539
 he is

00:25:26.539 --> 00:25:27.420
 trusting

00:25:27.420 --> 00:25:28.880
 continues

00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:29.200
 on

00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:29.400
 and he

00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:29.820
 returned

00:25:29.820 --> 00:25:30.180
 to the

00:25:30.180 --> 00:25:30.600
 camp

00:25:30.600 --> 00:25:32.300
 of

00:25:32.300 --> 00:25:32.680
 Israel

00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:33.400
 and said

00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:33.800
 arise

00:25:33.800 --> 00:25:34.140
 for the

00:25:34.140 --> 00:25:34.279
 Lord

00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:34.640
 has given

00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:34.820
 the

00:25:34.820 --> 00:25:35.100
 host

00:25:35.100 --> 00:25:35.279
 of

00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:35.500
 Midian

00:25:35.500 --> 00:25:35.720

00:25:35.840 --> 00:25:35.980

00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:36.200
 remember

00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:36.360
 you

00:25:36.360 --> 00:25:36.600
 couldn't

00:25:36.600 --> 00:25:36.759
 even

00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:37.039
 see

00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:37.220
 them

00:25:37.220 --> 00:25:37.360
 they're

00:25:37.360 --> 00:25:37.500
 like

00:25:37.500 --> 00:25:37.660

00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:39.440

00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:39.720
 now

00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:40.000
 he's

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:40.200
 heard

00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:40.400
 the

00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:40.820
 dream

00:25:40.820 --> 00:25:41.100
 he's

00:25:41.100 --> 00:25:41.240
 had

00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:41.480
 God

00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:41.800
 speak

00:25:41.800 --> 00:25:41.940
 to

00:25:41.940 --> 00:25:42.000
 him

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:42.160
 he's

00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:42.300

00:25:42.300 --> 00:25:42.460

00:25:42.800 --> 00:25:43.180
 God

00:25:43.180 --> 00:25:44.160
 condescends

00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:44.380
 to

00:25:44.380 --> 00:25:44.539
 his

00:25:44.539 --> 00:25:44.920
 weakness

00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:45.360
 as part

00:25:45.360 --> 00:25:45.460
 of

00:25:45.460 --> 00:25:45.600

 story

00:26:23.320 --> 00:26:23.640
 level

00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:23.880
 to

00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:24.519
 understand

00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:24.860
 how

00:26:24.860 --> 00:26:25.000
 it

00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:25.180
 is

00:26:25.180 --> 00:26:25.340
 that

00:26:25.340 --> 00:26:25.580
 God

00:26:25.580 --> 00:26:25.980
 answers

00:26:25.980 --> 00:26:26.460
 prayer

00:26:26.460 --> 00:26:27.360
 and

00:26:27.360 --> 00:26:27.500
 what

00:26:27.500 --> 00:26:27.620
 it

00:26:27.620 --> 00:26:27.780
 is

00:26:27.780 --> 00:26:27.900
 that

00:26:27.900 --> 00:26:28.060
 we're

00:26:28.060 --> 00:26:28.519
 asking

00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:29.060
 when

00:26:29.060 --> 00:26:29.240
 we

00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:29.500
 pray

00:26:29.500 --> 00:26:31.400
 now

00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:32.420
 I

00:26:32.420 --> 00:26:32.560
 don't

00:26:32.560 --> 00:26:32.660
 know

00:26:32.660 --> 00:26:32.800
 what

00:26:32.800 --> 00:26:32.920
 the

00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:33.140
 latest

00:26:33.140 --> 00:26:33.660

00:26:33.660 --> 00:26:34.000

00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:34.200
 but

00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:34.380
 I

00:26:34.380 --> 00:26:34.880
 believe

00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:35.160
 it's

00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:35.400
 something

00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:35.680
 like

00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:36.380
 90%

00:26:36.380 --> 00:26:36.560
 of

00:26:36.560 --> 00:26:37.060
 Canadians

00:26:37.060 --> 00:26:37.880
 or

00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:38.180
 more

00:26:38.180 --> 00:26:38.380
 at

00:26:38.380 --> 00:26:38.560
 least

00:26:38.560 --> 00:26:38.920
 pray

00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:40.040
 last

00:26:40.040 --> 00:26:40.220
 time

00:26:40.220 --> 00:26:40.360
 I

00:26:40.360 --> 00:26:40.540
 saw

00:26:40.540 --> 00:26:40.680
 a

00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:41.060
 statistic

00:26:41.060 --> 00:26:41.360
 one

00:26:41.360 --> 00:26:41.540
 third

00:26:41.540 --> 00:26:41.700
 of

00:26:41.700 --> 00:26:41.860
 all

00:26:41.860 --> 00:26:42.500
 atheists

00:26:42.500 --> 00:26:42.860
 pray

00:26:42.860 --> 00:26:45.800
 the

00:26:45.800 --> 00:26:46.080
 fact

00:26:46.080 --> 00:26:46.240
 the

00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:46.460
 matter

00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:46.900
 is

00:26:46.900 --> 00:26:47.100
 and

00:26:47.099 --> 00:26:47.240
 this

00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:47.419
 should

00:26:47.419 --> 00:26:47.719
 humble

00:26:47.719 --> 00:26:48.139
 us

00:26:48.139 --> 00:26:48.559
 if

00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:48.719
 you're

00:26:48.719 --> 00:26:48.879
 here

00:26:48.879 --> 00:26:49.019
 as

00:28:27.439 --> 00:28:27.559
 you

00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:27.899
 get

00:28:27.899 --> 00:28:28.099
 there

00:28:28.099 --> 00:28:28.599
 safely

00:28:28.599 --> 00:28:29.679
 don't

00:28:29.679 --> 00:28:29.879
 really

00:28:29.879 --> 00:28:30.159
 think

00:28:30.159 --> 00:28:30.399
 about

00:28:30.399 --> 00:28:30.500
 it

00:28:30.500 --> 00:28:30.699
 most

00:28:30.699 --> 00:28:30.879
 of the

00:28:30.879 --> 00:28:31.039
 time

00:28:39.099 --> 00:28:39.219
 way

00:28:39.219 --> 00:28:39.539
 that's

00:28:39.539 --> 00:28:40.000
 praying

00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:40.199
 for

00:28:40.199 --> 00:28:40.339
 a

00:28:40.339 --> 00:28:40.639
 miracle

00:28:40.639 --> 00:28:41.399
 but

00:28:41.399 --> 00:28:41.779
 generally

00:28:41.779 --> 00:28:42.219
 speaking

00:28:42.219 --> 00:28:42.379
 a

00:28:42.379 --> 00:28:42.679
 miracle

00:28:42.679 --> 00:28:42.919
 is

00:28:42.919 --> 00:28:43.199
 something

00:28:43.199 --> 00:28:43.399
 that

00:28:43.399 --> 00:28:43.639
 only

00:28:43.639 --> 00:28:44.000
 God

00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:44.199
 can

00:28:44.199 --> 00:28:44.419
 do

00:28:44.419 --> 00:28:44.579
 and

00:28:44.579 --> 00:28:44.919
 nature

00:28:44.919 --> 00:28:45.359
 can't

00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:45.519
 do

00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:45.639
 it

00:28:45.639 --> 00:28:45.819
 by

00:28:45.819 --> 00:28:46.019
 the

00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:46.599

00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:46.779
 that

00:28:46.779 --> 00:28:47.099
 nature

00:28:47.099 --> 00:28:47.679
 works

00:28:47.679 --> 00:28:48.480
 that's

00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:48.559
 what

00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:48.699
 we

00:28:48.699 --> 00:28:48.879

00:28:52.219 --> 00:28:52.519
 we're

00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:52.899

00:29:34.819 --> 00:29:35.000
 middle

00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:35.339
 watch

00:29:35.339 --> 00:29:35.500
 would

00:29:35.500 --> 00:29:35.579
 have

00:29:35.579 --> 00:29:35.679
 been

00:29:35.679 --> 00:29:35.960
 around

00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:36.500

00:29:36.500 --> 00:29:36.879
 so

00:29:36.879 --> 00:29:37.439
 at

00:29:37.439 --> 00:29:37.699
 around

00:29:41.619 --> 00:29:42.139
 on the

00:29:42.139 --> 00:29:42.619
 outskirts

00:29:42.619 --> 00:29:42.919
 of the

00:29:42.919 --> 00:29:43.259
 camp

00:29:43.259 --> 00:29:43.480
 and

00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:43.879
 within

00:29:43.879 --> 00:29:44.119
 the

00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:44.419
 camp

00:29:44.419 --> 00:29:44.740
 they're

00:29:44.740 --> 00:29:44.899
 all

00:29:44.899 --> 00:29:45.119
 going

00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:45.259
 to

00:29:45.259 --> 00:29:45.500
 have

00:29:45.500 --> 00:29:46.059
 a

00:29:46.059 --> 00:29:46.279
 lie

00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:46.699
 down

00:29:46.699 --> 00:29:47.599
 and

00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:47.899
 as

00:29:47.899 --> 00:29:48.179
 they're

00:29:48.179 --> 00:29:48.359
 going

00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:48.720
 I

00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:49.000
 think

00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:49.759
 as

00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:50.099
 those

00:29:50.099 --> 00:29:50.259
 of

00:29:50.259 --> 00:29:50.359
 you

00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:50.500
 who

00:29:50.500 --> 00:29:50.579
 are

00:29:50.579 --> 00:29:50.980

00:29:51.899 --> 00:29:52.059
 me

00:29:52.059 --> 00:29:52.179
 but

00:29:52.179 --> 00:29:52.279
 I

00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:52.419
 think

00:29:52.419 --> 00:29:52.779
 they

00:29:52.779 --> 00:29:52.980
 don't

00:29:52.980 --> 00:29:53.259
 leave

00:29:53.259 --> 00:29:53.439
 their

00:29:53.439 --> 00:29:53.740
 post

00:29:53.740 --> 00:29:53.879
 and

00:29:53.879 --> 00:29:54.240

00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:56.439
 people

00:29:56.439 --> 00:29:56.639
 who

00:29:56.639 --> 00:29:56.959
 are

00:29:56.959 --> 00:29:57.099
 going

00:29:57.099 --> 00:29:57.159
 to

00:29:57.159 --> 00:29:57.299
 be

00:29:57.299 --> 00:29:57.500
 there

00:29:57.500 --> 00:29:57.659
 they

00:29:57.659 --> 00:29:57.879
 go

00:29:57.879 --> 00:29:58.000
 to

00:29:59.500 --> 00:29:59.659
 the way

00:29:59.659 --> 00:29:59.759
 it's

00:29:59.759 --> 00:29:59.939
 supposed

00:29:59.939 --> 00:30:00.179
 to be

00:30:00.179 --> 00:30:00.399
 done

00:30:00.399 --> 00:30:00.859
 and

 you

00:32:19.259 --> 00:32:19.460
 you

00:32:19.460 --> 00:32:19.740
 could

00:32:19.740 --> 00:32:20.220
 say

00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:20.920
 this

00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:21.059
 is

00:32:21.059 --> 00:32:21.180
 a

00:32:21.180 --> 00:32:21.379
 very

00:32:21.379 --> 00:32:21.619
 very

00:32:21.619 --> 00:32:22.039
 uneasy

00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:22.779
 alliance

00:32:22.779 --> 00:32:23.180
 like

00:32:23.180 --> 00:32:23.339
 if

00:32:23.339 --> 00:32:23.680
 there

00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:23.859
 were

00:32:23.859 --> 00:32:24.160
 three

00:32:24.740 --> 00:32:25.039
 you

00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:25.960
 hopefully

00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:26.220
 there's

00:32:26.220 --> 00:32:26.440
 not

00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:26.579
 and

00:32:26.579 --> 00:32:26.799
 four

00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:26.960
 of

 you

00:32:27.099 --> 00:32:27.279
 and

00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:27.460
 you're

00:32:27.460 --> 00:32:27.940
 completely

00:32:27.940 --> 00:32:28.359
 and utterly

00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:28.799
 committed

00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:29.079
 to

00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:29.700
 murdering

00:32:29.700 --> 00:32:30.160
 people

00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:31.519
 and

00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:31.839
 for a

00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:32.059
 while

00:32:32.059 --> 00:32:32.299
 it's

00:32:32.299 --> 00:32:32.480
 good

00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:32.759
 for the

00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:32.960
 four

00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:33.079
 of

00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:33.139
 you

00:32:33.139 --> 00:32:33.279
 to

00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:33.440
 hang

00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:33.599
 out

00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:33.899
 together

00:32:33.899 --> 00:32:34.220
 because

00:32:34.220 --> 00:32:34.379
 you

00:32:34.379 --> 00:32:34.579
 like

00:32:34.579 --> 00:32:35.059
 murdering

00:32:35.059 --> 00:32:35.440
 people

00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:36.079
 but

00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:36.200
 at

00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:36.399
 some

00:32:36.399 --> 00:32:36.639
 point

00:32:36.639 --> 00:32:36.740
 in

00:32:36.740 --> 00:32:36.879
 time

00:32:36.879 --> 00:32:37.039
 you'd

00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:37.180
 have

00:32:37.180 --> 00:32:37.319
 to

00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:37.559
 wonder

00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:37.700
 to

00:32:37.700 --> 00:32:38.079
 yourself

00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:39.339
 I

00:32:39.339 --> 00:32:39.500
 think

00:32:39.500 --> 00:32:39.619
 I'd

00:32:39.619 --> 00:32:39.739
 like

00:32:39.739 --> 00:32:39.899
 to

00:32:39.899 --> 00:32:40.119
 murder

00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:40.399
 this

00:32:40.399 --> 00:32:40.619
 guy

00:32:40.619 --> 00:32:41.079
 beside

00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:41.359
 me

00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:43.419
 and

00:32:43.419 --> 00:32:43.619
 they're

00:32:43.619 --> 00:32:43.939
 probably

00:32:43.939 --> 00:32:44.279
 thinking

00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:44.579
 you know

00:32:44.579 --> 00:32:45.519
 I wouldn't

00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:45.719
 mind

00:32:45.719 --> 00:32:46.139
 murdering

00:32:46.139 --> 00:32:46.279
 this

00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:46.459
 guy

00:32:46.459 --> 00:32:46.779
 beside

00:32:46.779 --> 00:32:46.939
 me

00:32:46.939 --> 00:32:47.099
 because

00:32:47.099 --> 00:32:47.219
 I

00:32:47.219 --> 00:32:47.399
 like

00:32:47.399 --> 00:32:47.919
 murdering

00:32:47.919 --> 00:32:48.619
 so

00:32:48.619 --> 00:32:48.839
 on

00:32:48.839 --> 00:32:49.000
 one

00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:49.219

00:32:49.219 --> 00:32:49.359
 you

00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:49.519
 could

00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:49.699
 see

00:32:49.699 --> 00:32:49.859
 how

00:32:49.859 --> 00:32:50.019
 this

00:32:50.019 --> 00:32:50.179
 could

00:32:50.179 --> 00:32:50.319
 all

00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:50.559
 work

00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:50.719
 out

00:32:50.719 --> 00:32:50.819
 in

 a

00:32:51.619 --> 00:32:52.279
 explanation

00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:53.239
 there's

00:33:36.099 --> 00:33:36.259
 say

00:33:36.259 --> 00:33:36.379
 well

00:33:36.379 --> 00:33:36.539
 there's

00:33:36.539 --> 00:33:36.619
 a

00:33:36.619 --> 00:33:36.700
 bit

00:33:36.700 --> 00:33:36.779
 of

00:33:38.019 --> 00:33:38.519
 for it

00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:38.639
 but

00:33:38.639 --> 00:33:39.079
 that's

00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:39.539
 what

00:33:39.539 --> 00:33:39.720
 you

00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:40.059
 see

00:33:40.059 --> 00:33:40.440
 here

00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:40.619
 is

00:33:40.619 --> 00:33:40.799
 how

00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:41.099
 prayer

00:33:41.099 --> 00:33:41.519
 usually

00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:42.059
 works

00:33:42.059 --> 00:33:45.700
 which

00:33:45.700 --> 00:33:45.859
 is

00:33:45.859 --> 00:33:46.039
 that

00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:46.420
 God

00:33:46.420 --> 00:33:46.779
 brings

00:33:46.779 --> 00:33:47.079
 about

00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:47.279
 the

00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:47.619
 result

00:33:47.619 --> 00:33:47.839
 that

00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:48.119
 God

00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:48.839
 wants

00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:49.019
 to

00:33:49.019 --> 00:33:49.220
 bring

00:33:49.220 --> 00:33:49.539
 about

00:33:49.539 --> 00:33:49.960
 even

00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:50.240
 though

00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:50.440
 there

00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:50.559
 are

00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:50.980
 natural

00:33:50.980 --> 00:33:51.619
 processes

00:33:51.619 --> 00:33:51.940
 and

 nobody's

00:33:53.539 --> 00:33:53.940
 is

00:33:53.940 --> 00:33:54.599
 overwhelmed

00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:58.879
 but

00:33:58.879 --> 00:33:58.940
 in

 this

00:33:59.099 --> 00:33:59.500
 particular

00:33:59.500 --> 00:33:59.839
 case

00:33:59.839 --> 00:33:59.960
 it

00:33:59.960 --> 00:33:59.980
 would

00:33:59.980 --> 00:34:00.099
 be

00:34:00.099 --> 00:34:00.379
 hard

00:34:00.379 --> 00:34:00.619
 even

00:34:00.619 --> 00:34:00.759
 to

00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:00.879
 come

00:34:00.879 --> 00:34:01.019
 up

00:34:01.019 --> 00:34:01.119

00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:39.380
 I

00:37:39.380 --> 00:37:39.480
 mean

00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:39.719
 that's

00:37:39.719 --> 00:37:39.940
 that's

00:37:39.940 --> 00:37:40.059
 the

00:37:40.059 --> 00:37:40.360
 power

00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:40.539
 of

00:37:40.539 --> 00:37:40.679
 the

00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:41.179
 story

00:37:41.179 --> 00:37:42.380
 the

00:37:42.380 --> 00:37:42.699
 power

00:37:42.699 --> 00:37:42.860
 of

00:37:42.860 --> 00:37:43.000
 the

00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:43.339
 story

00:37:43.339 --> 00:37:43.539
 is

00:37:43.539 --> 00:37:43.679
 that

00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:43.960
 Gideon

00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:44.119
 is

00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:44.559
 delivered

00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:45.000
 that

00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:46.219
 when

00:37:46.219 --> 00:37:46.679
 God

00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:47.179
 does

00:37:47.179 --> 00:37:47.579
 what

00:37:47.579 --> 00:37:47.880
 only

00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:48.279
 God

00:37:48.279 --> 00:37:48.500
 can

00:37:48.500 --> 00:37:48.759
 do

00:37:48.759 --> 00:37:49.159
 showing

00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:49.400
 that

00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:49.759
 Gideon

00:37:49.759 --> 00:37:50.079
 cannot

00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:50.380
 do

00:37:50.380 --> 00:37:50.759
 anything

00:37:50.759 --> 00:37:50.960
 it

00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:51.299
 doesn't

00:37:51.299 --> 00:37:51.759
 leave

00:37:51.759 --> 00:37:52.279
 Gideon

00:37:52.279 --> 00:37:53.119
 squashed

00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:53.559
 but it

00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:53.880
 leaves

00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:54.219
 him

00:37:54.219 --> 00:37:55.019
 delivered

00:37:55.019 --> 00:37:55.420
 and

00:37:55.420 --> 00:37:55.900
 free

00:37:55.900 --> 00:37:57.079
 and

00:37:57.079 --> 00:37:57.360
 so

00:37:57.360 --> 00:37:57.519
 it

00:37:57.519 --> 00:37:57.819
 is

00:37:57.819 --> 00:37:58.059
 that

00:37:58.059 --> 00:37:58.500
 God

00:37:58.500 --> 00:37:58.619
 in

00:37:58.619 --> 00:37:58.739
 the

00:37:58.739 --> 00:37:59.059

00:37:59.380 --> 00:37:59.699
 son

00:37:59.699 --> 00:38:01.699
 accomplishes

00:38:01.699 --> 00:38:02.179
 for us

00:38:02.179 --> 00:38:02.460
 what we

00:38:02.460 --> 00:38:02.639
 can

00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:02.880
 never

00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:03.659
 accomplish

00:38:03.659 --> 00:38:04.039
 for

00:38:04.039 --> 00:38:04.759
 ourselves

00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:09.860

00:38:12.160 --> 00:38:12.300
 is

00:38:12.300 --> 00:38:12.440
 how

00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:12.580
 we

00:38:12.580 --> 00:38:12.840
 become

00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:13.020
 a
