Latest / Adventures: Bible Truths in Action / J-Team 4: Jehovah Shammah
Transcript
- 0:02Deep in the heart of Israel, God desires to be known by his
- 0:06chosen people, revealing himself to Moses as Yahweh the Great.
- 0:12I am a name too holy to utter. The Israelites call him Jehovah.
- 0:20Throughout the Old Testament, Jehovah responds to the faith of
- 0:23his people and shows himself strong on their behalf.
- 0:28In remembrance of Jehovah's power and love, the people give
- 0:31him additional names describing his ability and willingness to
- 0:35help in their lives. Each name describes the nature
- 0:40of the one true God. Each is Jehovah.
- 0:45Together they are the J team. The king of Syria was at war
- 0:56with Israel, but every move against Israel was revealed by
- 0:59God to the prophet Elisha. Elisha would then warn the king
- 1:03of Israel so that they were prepared for every attack.
- 1:07This upset the king of Syria greatly and he thought there was
- 1:10a traitor among his officers, but one of them told him of the
- 1:13prophet Elisha. So one night the king sent his
- 1:17army and surrounded the home of Elisha.
- 1:24Look around Damon, there is no way Elijah can escape this.
- 1:30You rallied the entire Syrian Army to kill one lousy prophet
- 1:35of God. No, I rallied the entire Syrian
- 1:39Army to kill one very good prophet of God.
- 1:42But how did you do it? I have a way of persuading
- 1:46people to do what I want. That's true.
- 1:50You persuaded me and all the other demons to leave heaven.
- 1:54I heard that. What do we do if Jehovah Nisi
- 1:57shows up again? We run.
- 1:59What else? When the servant of Elijah woke
- 2:03up early the next morning and went outside, there were troops,
- 2:07horses and Chariots everywhere. Elijah, Elijah.
- 2:16What's wrong? Look, Syrians, we're surrounded.
- 2:21Don't be afraid, there are more with us than there are with
- 2:25them. What?
- 2:26Is he talking about? I don't know.
- 2:29He's either blind or crazy. He doesn't look the least bit
- 2:33afraid. Put some fear on him.
- 2:36I'm trying. I'm trying.
- 2:38Hocus pocus. Do not focus.
- 2:41Take this fear and get out of here.
- 2:44What are you doing? I'm counting.
- 2:46You said there are more with us. I only count 2.
- 2:50That includes me and you. Keep waving your arms, Damon.
- 2:54I think it's finally working. And I'm not so sure, Master.
- 2:59I think Elisha sees something we don't.
- 3:05Lord, open my servant's eyes, that he may see.
- 3:12The Lord opened the young man's eyes, and when he looked up, he
- 3:15saw that the hillside around Elijah was filled with horses
- 3:19and Chariots of fire. Where did that army come from?
- 3:23Where? Did that army come from?
- 3:26And who is he? That's Jehovah Shamma.
- 3:30Oh, I should have known he'd be here.
- 3:33What do you mean? You should have known he'd be
- 3:35here? Who is Jehovah Shamma?
- 3:38Oh, the Lord God Almighty is present.
- 3:40He's part of the J team. We have to stop Jehovah Shama.
- 3:46He can't do this to me. I've worked too hard on this
- 3:49one. How can we stop him?
- 3:52He's right there. He's Jehovah Shama.
- 3:55He's always right there. Even when we can't see him, he's
- 3:59there. Think, think.
- 4:01What to do? What to do?
- 4:03So Elisha, are those angels with the Chariots of fire going to
- 4:07destroy the Syrian Army hold? On a minute, I hate to be
- 4:12technical, but Jehovah Nisi is the Conqueror.
- 4:16Yeah, you'll, you'll. You're not Jehovah Nisi.
- 4:21True. Nisi is the.
- 4:22Conqueror, but Shama is in the house.
- 4:27The reason I ask is because the Syrians are moving closer to
- 4:30attack us. Lord, close the eyes of the
- 4:33Syrians so they cannot see. Hey.
- 4:37I can't see. Sergeant.
- 4:40I can't see either. Captain men, this is not the
- 4:44place you're looking for. It's not.
- 4:46Follow me and I will take you to the man you seek.
- 4:50What are you doing? They're looking for us, aren't
- 4:53they? They are really looking for the
- 4:55King of Israel. I will take them to him and when
- 4:58their eyes are opened, they will be surrounded by our.
- 5:01Army. Follow me, Captain.
- 5:04OK, but go slow. We can't see where we're going.
- 5:08Oh, are they going to be sorry they ever messed with us?
- 5:14When you find yourself surrounded by trouble, know that
- 5:17God is a very present. Help, pray and believe for his
- 5:20help, knowing that Jehovah, the Lord God Almighty, is present.
- 5:25He is Shama, He is the J team. Where did everyone go?
- 5:33Who cares? Let's get out of here.
- 5:35Jehovah's Shama is still present.
