Transcript
- 0:03Sit back and enjoy the show, Damon.
- 0:06I'm calling it Desert Storm. The Israelites are gonna wish
- 0:10they never left Egypt. Yeah, that's what you said right
- 0:15before Pharaoh and his army drowned in the Red Sea.
- 0:19Oh, be quiet. Who asked you?
- 0:21Besides, there's no Red Sea around this time.
- 0:25The Amalekites are sure to defeat these miserable,
- 0:28complaining slaves. Ex Slaves.
- 0:32Whatever, look at them. They don't stand a chance in
- 0:36battle against the Amalekites. They're a bunch of oozers.
- 0:42Wait, who is this guy holding his stick in the air?
- 0:46Hey, come on, old man. I can't see a thing down in
- 0:51front. Have a seat.
- 0:57The Israelites are starting to win boss.
- 0:59At least get the stick out of the way, fella.
- 1:02For crying out loud, I can't see you believe this guy.
- 1:06Master, Master, it's Moses. Where's Moses?
- 1:12I don't see Moses anywhere. Holy Moses.
- 1:16Hello. It's him right in front of me.
- 1:20What's he doing? Here, he's obviously rooting for
- 1:23Israel. Hey, isn't that the same stick
- 1:26he used to part the Red Sea? So what if it is?
- 1:30Well, maybe it's magic or something.
- 1:33Don't be ridiculous. God doesn't need magic, he uses
- 1:37miracles. Well, it's just that the
- 1:40Amalekites were winning until Moses raised that stick in the
- 1:43air. What?
- 1:45Wait a minute. Quick.
- 1:47You get that arm, I'll get this one.
- 1:49We'll make his arms tired. Pull.
- 1:51Go get. Put it down.
- 1:56You go. Oh, come on, old man.
- 1:59It's working. Damon, Look.
- 2:01The Amalekites are winning again.
- 2:03That's right, we have to keep his arms down just a little bit
- 2:07longer while the Amalekites finish off the Israelites once
- 2:11and for all. Look at them, go and the winner
- 2:15is. Who are those two guys coming
- 2:17this way? Oh, that's Aaron in her what?
- 2:21Do they want? Hey, thanks guys.
- 2:29My arms suddenly got very heavy and I couldn't keep them up any
- 2:32longer. Come on over here Moses, and
- 2:34have a seat. Her and I will hold up your.
- 2:37Arms her. Don't you mean him?
- 2:40Her is my name, Sir. I'm the son of She the
- 2:43Bricklayer. Oh.
- 2:45I've heard of your father. He's a good man.
- 2:51I told you to keep his arms down your pip squeak.
- 2:55Don't get mad at me, you didn't do any better than I did.
- 2:59Is that right? I'll show you better.
- 3:03That's better. Celebration time.
- 3:13Come on, let's celebrate. It's going to be a party.
- 3:17Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Moses is finally dead.
- 3:21The Israelites are finished. They'll never make it to the
- 3:24promised land without a leader. Just think how easy it's going
- 3:28to be to make them stop doing the will of God.
- 3:33I wouldn't get too confident, Master.
- 3:35You know how God is. God smart.
- 3:39Don't you remember how quickly I got those Hebrews to make the
- 3:42golden calf and worship it while the mighty Moses was away?
- 3:47They were really worshipping me, you know.
- 3:51Don't you think God put Joshua in charge so the Israelites will
- 3:54make it to the Promised Land? God's pretty smart, you know.
- 3:58Oh yeah, What are we going to do about Joshua?
- 4:02I don't know, but we better do it fast.
- 4:05He's headed to Jericho. Jericho.
- 4:08That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.
- 4:11There's a giant wall around that city.
- 4:14All they have to do is lock the gates.
- 4:17There's no way in. There was no way through the Red
- 4:20Sea either, remember? You're right.
- 4:24Get up there and see what's going on.
- 4:25I want a full report. Yes, Master.
- 4:29Jericho's walls are thick. Not even the big bad Wolf can
- 4:33blow them down. Why would God send a rookie like
- 4:36Joshua to Jericho for his first mission?
- 4:39There's no way he can succeed. Master, they're marching around
- 4:45the city as we speak. They've been doing that for the
- 4:48past six days. They March around one time each
- 4:51day and then go back to their camp.
- 4:54What? That's it.
- 4:56That is going to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
- 5:01Joshua must have lost his mind. What are the people saying?
- 5:04They're not saying anything. The pressure of replacing Moses
- 5:08must have gotten to him. He's confused and doesn't know
- 5:10what to do, so he's just keeping the army busy going in circles.
- 5:1540 years of that and they'll all be dead.
- 5:30What was that? I don't know, it felt like a
- 5:33wall fell down or something. Wait here.
- 5:41What did I say? What did I say?
- 5:46A wall fell down. A wall fell down.
- 5:49Oh no, Shirley Jericho's wall didn't fall down.
- 5:55Jericho's wall fell down, No. Way.
- 6:02From what I can gather they marched around the wall 7 times
- 6:05today and on the 7th time they shouted and blew their trumpets.
- 6:10Then the wall just fell flat. Well, what do you know, It's a
- 6:17miracle. Would you hush up?
- 6:20We have to find a way to stop Joshua.
- 6:23If he's doing what God says, that's impossible.
- 6:27Doing what God says brings success.
- 6:30Well, what about if you do what I say?
- 6:33I do. That's why I'm a failure like
- 6:36you. Oh.
- 6:37Yeah, well, fail this. There you go.
- 6:41Take that. Start spreading the news.
- 6:53We've beaten the Jews. I was a part of it.
- 6:59I was. I was.
- 7:02What is that awful sound? Are you saying my singing is
- 7:07awful? Oh, no, Master, your singing is
- 7:11wonderful. It must have been something
- 7:14else. I I probably heard one of the
- 7:17prisoners weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth.
- 7:21Yeah, that's what it was. That's exactly what it was.
- 7:25You're a terrible liar. Now what do you want?
- 7:29Well, you know that city I've been spying on?
- 7:33I. You what?
- 7:35I didn't say anything. Oh well, you know that city I've
- 7:39been spying on? Yes, I.
- 7:43You what? Nothing.
- 7:45The name of the city is I. It's spelled AI and it's
- 7:49pronounced I. That's where you've been spying.
- 7:53Oh, I get it. Well, Joshua and all his
- 7:58soldiers are on their way there. Great, that's perfect.
- 8:02We just finished beating them. This time we'll finish them off.
- 8:07I filled those Israelites with so much fear.
- 8:09They won't last five minutes against the city of I.
- 8:13That's why I'm here. Something's wrong.
- 8:16They don't seem to be afraid anymore.
- 8:19In fact, they're acting rather fearlessly.
- 8:23That's why you're just a little demon and I'm the big boss.
- 8:27Those guys are scared to death, which is exactly how they're
- 8:31going to end up dead. Yeah, yeah, you're probably
- 8:36right. They're all scared to death.
- 8:39But there's one little thing that's bothering me about all
- 8:43this, Master. What is it?
- 8:46Well, I heard Joshua tell his men to not be afraid because God
- 8:53had given them the city. He said what?
- 8:57God had given them the city. He's Speaking of things that be,
- 9:03not as though they are. Isn't that lying?
- 9:08I didn't think God could lie. That's not lying.
- 9:13That's. Fibbing.
- 9:20No. Forgetting he forgot we just
- 9:24beat them. No, it's faith.
- 9:27Faith. Yes, faith overcomes fear.
- 9:31They're believing and speaking God's Word.
- 9:35That's exactly what they were doing on the way to what's that
- 9:39city called me. I.
- 9:42You. I.
- 9:44The city is called I. That's right, God has already
- 9:49given them the victory, hasn't he?
- 9:51That's not fair, is it? I mean, the fight hasn't even
- 9:55started and they've already won. Where did I go?
- 9:59Wrong, huh? Where did I go wrong?
- 10:04Well, it all started in heaven when you thought you were better
- 10:08than God. I know that I'm talking about
- 10:11Joshua and his men. They were so full of fear.
- 10:15I had them beat. I had them beat.
- 10:17I had them beat. He's really taking this hard.
- 10:28But then fearless people are dangerous to the Kingdom of
- 10:32darkness because they know God is on their side.
