  I'm
• 0:02
  Stephanie
• 0:03
  Hickox,
• 0:03
  and
• 0:03
  I
• 0:04
  am
• 0:04
  so
• 0:04
  proud
• 0:04
  of
• 0:04
  you
• 0:05
  for
• 0:05
  making
• 0:05
  it
• 0:05
  to
• 0:05
  the
• 0:06
  second
• 0:06
  half
• 0:06
  of
• 0:06
  our
• 0:07
  Bible
• 0:07
  reading
• 0:07
  plan.
• 0:08
  Today
• 0:08
  as
• 0:08
  we
• 0:08
  begin
• 0:08
  the
• 0:09
  book
• 0:09
  of
• 0:09
  Obadiah
• 0:09
  and
• 0:10
  Psalms
• 0:10
  82
• 0:11
  and
• 0:11
  83
• 0:11
  and
• 0:12
  2
• 0:12
  Kings
• 0:12
  1,
• 0:13
  we'll
• 0:13
  be
• 0:13
  reminded
• 0:13
  why
• 0:14
  it's
• 0:14
  so
• 0:14
  crucial
• 0:15
  that
• 0:15
  we
• 0:15
  deal
• 0:15
  with
• 0:15
  pride
• 0:16
  that's
• 0:16
  festering
• 0:17
  in
• 0:17
  the
• 0:17
  hearts
• 0:17
  of
• 0:17
  our
• 0:17
  kids
• 0:18
  and
• 0:18
  certainly
• 0:18
  in
• 0:18
  our
• 0:19
  own
• 0:19
  lives,
• 0:19
  Obadiah
• 0:20
  reveals
• 0:20
  that
• 0:20
  there
• 0:21
  will
• 0:21
  come
• 0:21
  a
• 0:21
  day
• 0:21
  for
• 0:21
  judgment
• 0:22
  for
• 0:22
  those
• 0:22
  who
• 0:23
  walk
• 0:23
  in
• 0:23
  arrogance
• 0:24
  and
• 0:24
  self-sufficiency,
• 0:25
  and
• 0:25
  we
• 0:25
  don't
• 0:25
  want
• 0:26
  anyone
• 0:26
  in
• 0:26
  our
• 0:26
  families
• 0:26
  to
• 0:27
  be
• 0:27
  found
• 0:27
  in
• 0:27
  that
• 0:27
  camp.
• 0:28
  I
• 0:28
  want
• 0:28
  to
• 0:28
  apologize
• 0:29
  that
• 0:29
  I
• 0:29
  didn't
• 0:29
  make
• 0:29
  it
• 0:29
  more
• 0:30
  clear
• 0:30
  that
• 0:30
  we
• 0:30
  were
• 0:30
  going
• 0:31
  to
• 0:31
  take
• 0:31
  a
• 0:31
  couple
• 0:31
  day
• 0:32
  break
• 0:32
  to
• 0:32
  reflect
• 0:33
  on
• 0:33
  what
• 0:33
  the
• 0:33
  Lord
• 0:33
  has
• 0:33
  been
• 0:33
  teaching
• 0:34
  us
• 0:34
  through
• 0:34
  His
• 0:34
  Word
• 0:35
  the
• 0:35
  past
• 0:35
  six
• 0:35
  months.
• 0:36
  I
• 0:36
  wanted
• 0:36
  to
• 0:36
  do
• 0:36
  that
• 0:36
  before
• 0:37
  we
• 0:37
  move
• 0:37
  forward
• 0:38
  to
• 0:38
  give
• 0:38
  a
• 0:38
  little
• 0:38
  time
• 0:39
  for
• 0:39
  anyone
• 0:39
  to
• 0:39
  catch
• 0:39
  up
• 0:40
  And
• 0:40
  to
• 0:40
  make
• 0:40
  sure
• 0:40
  that
• 0:41
  this
• 0:41
  isn't
• 0:41
  just
• 0:41
  a
• 0:41
  checklist,
• 0:42
  but
• 0:42
  that
• 0:42
  we
• 0:42
  really
• 0:43
  are
• 0:43
  dwelling
• 0:43
  with
• 0:43
  the
• 0:43
  Lord
• 0:44
  today
• 0:44
  you're
• 0:45
  officially
• 0:45
  halfway
• 0:46
  through
• 0:46
  scripture
• 0:46
  And
• 0:46
  I'm
• 0:47
  confident
• 0:47
  God
• 0:47
  has
• 0:47
  been
• 0:48
  faithful
• 0:48
  to
• 0:48
  transform
• 0:49
  you
• 0:49
  through
• 0:49
  it.
• 0:49
  If
• 0:49
  you
• 0:49
  have
• 0:49
  any
• 0:50
  testimonies
• 0:50
  Feel
• 0:50
  free
• 0:51
  to
• 0:51
  email
• 0:51
  me.
• 0:51
  I'd
• 0:51
  love
• 0:52
  to
• 0:52
  hear.
• 0:52
  I
• 0:52
  found
• 0:53
  myself
• 0:53
  gaining
• 0:53
  greater
• 0:54
  peace
• 0:54
  in
• 0:54
  my
• 0:54
  parenting
• 0:55
  As
• 0:55
  I
• 0:55
  see
• 0:56
  God's
• 0:56
  undeniable
• 0:57
  sovereignty
• 0:57
  in
• 0:57
  scripture,
• 0:58
  and
• 0:58
  I
• 0:58
  know
• 0:59
  that
• 0:59
  He
• 0:59
  is
• 0:59
  just
• 0:59
  as
• 1:00
  sovereign
• 1:00
  in
• 1:00
  the
• 1:00
  lives
• 1:01
  of
• 1:01
  my
• 1:01
  kids
• 1:01
  because
• 1:02
  I'm
• 1:02
  convinced
• 1:02
  in
• 1:03
  God's
• 1:03
  goodness
• 1:03
  I
• 1:04
  can
• 1:04
  be
• 1:04
  like
• 1:04
  that
• 1:04
  sparrow
• 1:05
  in
• 1:05
  Psalm
• 1:05
  84,
• 1:06
  placing
• 1:06
  my
• 1:06
  nest
• 1:07
  at
• 1:07
  His
• 1:07
  altar
• 1:08
  Psalm
• 1:08
  82
• 1:08
  begins,
• 1:09
  God
• 1:09
  has
• 1:10
  taken
• 1:10
  His
• 1:10
  place
• 1:11
  in
• 1:11
  the
• 1:11
  divine
• 1:11
  council;
• 1:12
  in
• 1:12
  the
• 1:12
  midst
• 1:12
  of
• 1:12
  the
• 1:12
  gods
• 1:13
  He
• 1:13
  holds
• 1:13
  judgment."
• 1:14
  This
• 1:14
  is
• 1:14
  best
• 1:14
  to
• 1:15
  be
• 1:15
  understood
• 1:15
  as
• 1:16
  the
• 1:16
  judges
• 1:16
  and
• 1:16
  kings
• 1:17
  and
• 1:17
  leaders
• 1:17
  of
• 1:17
  the
• 1:17
  earth
• 1:18
  rather
• 1:18
  than
• 1:18
  pagan
• 1:18
  gods.
• 1:19
  And
• 1:19
  the
• 1:19
  Lord
• 1:20
  addresses
• 1:20
  them,
• 1:20
  How
• 1:21
  long
• 1:21
  will
• 1:21
  you
• 1:21
  judge
• 1:22
  unjustly
• 1:22
  and
• 1:23
  show
• 1:23
  partiality
• 1:23
  to
• 1:24
  the
• 1:24
  wicked?
• 1:24
  Give
• 1:24
  justice
• 1:25
  to
• 1:25
  the
• 1:25
  weak
• 1:25
  and
• 1:26
  the
• 1:26
  fatherless;
• 1:27
  maintain
• 1:27
  the
• 1:27
  right
• 1:27
  of
• 1:28
  the
• 1:28
  afflicted
• 1:28
  and
• 1:28
  the
• 1:28
  destitute.
• 1:29
  Rescue
• 1:30
  the
• 1:30
  weak
• 1:30
  and
• 1:31
  the
• 1:31
  needy;
• 1:31
  deliver
• 1:32
  them
• 1:32
  from
• 1:32
  the
• 1:32
  hand
• 1:32
  of
• 1:32
  the
• 1:33
  wicked."
• 1:33
  Regarding
• 1:34
  these
• 1:34
  unjust
• 1:35
  rulers,
• 1:35
  God
• 1:35
  says,
• 1:36
  They
• 1:36
  have
• 1:36
  neither
• 1:36
  knowledge
• 1:37
  nor
• 1:37
  understanding.
• 1:38
  They
• 1:38
  walk
• 1:38
  about
• 1:39
  in
• 1:39
  darkness.
• 1:40
  All
• 1:40
  the
• 1:40
  foundations
• 1:40
  of
• 1:40
  the
• 1:41
  earth
• 1:41
  are
• 1:41
  shaken
• 1:42
  And
• 1:42
  the
• 1:42
  Psalm
• 1:42
  concludes,
• 1:43
  Arise,
• 1:43
  O
• 1:43
  God,
• 1:44
  judge
• 1:44
  the
• 1:45
  earth,
• 1:45
  for
• 1:45
  you
• 1:46
  shall
• 1:46
  inherit
• 1:46
  all
• 1:46
  the
• 1:46
  nations."
• 1:47
  Psalm
• 1:47
  83
• 1:48
  echoes
• 1:49
  this
• 1:49
  prayer
• 1:49
  for
• 1:49
  God
• 1:49
  to
• 1:50
  judge
• 1:50
  rightly.
• 1:51
  O
• 1:51
  God,
• 1:51
  do
• 1:51
  not
• 1:51
  keep
• 1:52
  silence.
• 1:52
  Do
• 1:53
  not
• 1:53
  hold
• 1:53
  your
• 1:53
  peace
• 1:54
  or
• 1:54
  be
• 1:54
  still,
• 1:54
  O
• 1:54
  God.
• 1:55
  For
• 1:55
  behold,
• 1:56
  your
• 1:56
  enemies
• 1:56
  make
• 1:56
  an
• 1:56
  uproar.
• 1:57
  Those
• 1:57
  who
• 1:57
  hate
• 1:58
  you
• 1:58
  have
• 1:58
  raised
• 1:58
  their
• 1:59
  heads.
• 1:59
  They
• 1:59
  lay
• 1:59
  crafty
• 2:00
  plans
• 2:00
  against
• 2:01
  your
• 2:01
  people.
• 2:01
  They
• 2:01
  consult
• 2:02
  together
• 2:03
  against
• 2:03
  your
• 2:03
  treasured
• 2:04
  ones.
• 2:04
  They
• 2:04
  say,
• 2:05
  "Come,
• 2:05
  let
• 2:05
  us
• 2:05
  wipe
• 2:06
  them
• 2:06
  out
• 2:06
  as
• 2:06
  a
• 2:06
  nation.
• 2:07
  Let
• 2:07
  the
• 2:07
  name
• 2:07
  of
• 2:07
  Israel
• 2:08
  be
• 2:08
  remembered
• 2:08
  no
• 2:09
  more."
• 2:09
  For
• 2:09
  they
• 2:10
  conspire
• 2:10
  with
• 2:10
  one
• 2:10
  accord.
• 2:11
  Against
• 2:12
  you,
• 2:12
  they
• 2:12
  make
• 2:12
  a
• 2:13
  covenant
• 2:13
  continuing
• 2:14
  in
• 2:14
  verse
• 2:14
  13,
• 2:14
  O
• 2:15
  my
• 2:15
  God,
• 2:15
  make
• 2:15
  them
• 2:16
  like
• 2:16
  the
• 2:16
  whirling
• 2:16
  dust,
• 2:17
  like
• 2:17
  chaff
• 2:17
  before
• 2:18
  the
• 2:18
  wind.
• 2:19
  As
• 2:19
  fire
• 2:19
  consumes
• 2:20
  the
• 2:20
  forest,
• 2:20
  as
• 2:21
  the
• 2:21
  flame
• 2:21
  sets
• 2:21
  the
• 2:21
  mountains
• 2:22
  ablaze,
• 2:22
  so
• 2:23
  may
• 2:23
  you
• 2:23
  pursue
• 2:23
  them
• 2:24
  with
• 2:24
  your
• 2:24
  tempest
• 2:25
  and
• 2:25
  terrify
• 2:25
  them
• 2:25
  with
• 2:26
  your
• 2:26
  hurricane.
• 2:27
  Fill
• 2:27
  their
• 2:27
  faces
• 2:27
  with
• 2:27
  shame,
• 2:28
  that
• 2:28
  they
• 2:28
  may
• 2:29
  seek
• 2:29
  your
• 2:29
  name,
• 2:29
  O
• 2:29
  Lord.
• 2:30
  Let
• 2:30
  them
• 2:30
  be
• 2:30
  put
• 2:31
  to
• 2:31
  shame
• 2:31
  and
• 2:31
  dismayed
• 2:32
  forever.
• 2:32
  Let
• 2:33
  them
• 2:33
  perish
• 2:33
  in
• 2:33
  disgrace,
• 2:34
  that
• 2:34
  they
• 2:34
  may
• 2:34
  know
• 2:35
  that
• 2:35
  you
• 2:35
  alone,
• 2:36
  whose
• 2:36
  name
• 2:36
  is
• 2:37
  the
• 2:37
  Lord,
• 2:37
  are
• 2:37
  the
• 2:37
  Most
• 2:38
  High
• 2:38
  over
• 2:38
  all
• 2:39
  the
• 2:39
  earth."
• 2:39
  We
• 2:40
  serve
• 2:40
  a
• 2:40
  God
• 2:40
  abounding
• 2:41
  in
• 2:41
  steadfast
• 2:41
  love
• 2:42
  and
• 2:42
  slow
• 2:42
  to
• 2:42
  anger.
• 2:43
  But
• 2:43
  his
• 2:43
  righteous
• 2:43
  judgment
• 2:44
  is
• 2:44
  also
• 2:45
  a
• 2:45
  part
• 2:45
  of
• 2:45
  his
• 2:46
  perfect
• 2:46
  character
• 2:47
  as
• 2:47
  he
• 2:47
  puts
• 2:47
  an
• 2:47
  end
• 2:47
  to
• 2:48
  those
• 2:48
  who
• 2:48
  set
• 2:48
  their
• 2:48
  heart
• 2:49
  on
• 2:49
  doing
• 2:49
  evil
• 2:50
  to
• 2:50
  his
• 2:50
  people.
• 2:51
  we'll
• 2:51
  continue
• 2:51
  this
• 2:51
  theme
• 2:52
  in
• 2:52
  the
• 2:52
  Book
• 2:52
  of
• 2:52
  Obadiah.
• 2:53
  This
• 2:53
  is
• 2:53
  one
• 2:53
  of
• 2:54
  the
• 2:54
  minor
• 2:54
  prophets
• 2:55
  written
• 2:55
  by
• 2:55
  a
• 2:55
  man
• 2:55
  named
• 2:56
  Obadiah,
• 2:56
  but
• 2:57
  there
• 2:57
  are
• 2:57
  so
• 2:57
  many
• 2:57
  references
• 2:58
  to
• 2:58
  this
• 2:58
  name
• 2:58
  in
• 2:59
  scripture
• 2:59
  that
• 2:59
  we
• 2:59
  can't
• 3:00
  be
• 3:00
  certain
• 3:00
  which
• 3:00
  it
• 3:00
  is.
• 3:01
  The
• 3:01
  minor
• 3:01
  prophets
• 3:02
  are
• 3:02
  grouped
• 3:02
  together
• 3:02
  in
• 3:02
  our
• 3:03
  Bibles,
• 3:03
  not
• 3:04
  chronologically,
• 3:05
  but
• 3:05
  because
• 3:05
  of
• 3:05
  the
• 3:05
  length
• 3:06
  it
• 3:06
  doesn't
• 3:07
  mean
• 3:07
  that
• 3:07
  they're
• 3:07
  of
• 3:07
  less
• 3:07
  importance
• 3:08
  to
• 3:08
  be
• 3:08
  titled
• 3:09
  minor,
• 3:09
  but
• 3:09
  just
• 3:10
  that
• 3:10
  their
• 3:10
  books
• 3:10
  are
• 3:10
  more
• 3:10
  brief,
• 3:11
  and
• 3:11
  Obadiah
• 3:12
  is
• 3:12
  the
• 3:12
  shortest
• 3:13
  of
• 3:13
  the
• 3:13
  minor
• 3:13
  prophets
• 3:14
  His
• 3:14
  name
• 3:14
  means
• 3:15
  servant
• 3:15
  of
• 3:15
  the
• 3:15
  Lord
• 3:15
  and
• 3:16
  he
• 3:16
  probably
• 3:16
  lived
• 3:16
  around
• 3:17
  the
• 3:17
  time
• 3:17
  of
• 3:17
  Elijah
• 3:18
  and
• 3:18
  Elisha.
• 3:19
  There
• 3:19
  are
• 3:19
  several
• 3:19
  perspectives
• 3:20
  regarding
• 3:21
  the
• 3:21
  time
• 3:21
  that
• 3:21
  this
• 3:21
  prophet
• 3:22
  was
• 3:22
  addressing,
• 3:23
  but
• 3:23
  two
• 3:23
  seem
• 3:23
  most
• 3:24
  likely.
• 3:24
  The
• 3:24
  early
• 3:25
  date
• 3:25
  would
• 3:25
  be
• 3:25
  right
• 3:25
  where
• 3:26
  we're
• 3:26
  reading
• 3:26
  right
• 3:26
  now
• 3:27
  as
• 3:27
  we're
• 3:27
  walking
• 3:27
  through
• 3:28
  Chronicles
• 3:28
  and
• 3:28
  Kings.
• 3:29
  This
• 3:29
  earlier
• 3:29
  date
• 3:30
  seems
• 3:30
  more
• 3:30
  likely
• 3:31
  because
• 3:31
  the
• 3:31
  Philistines
• 3:32
  and
• 3:32
  the
• 3:32
  Arabians
• 3:33
  attacked
• 3:33
  Jerusalem
• 3:34
  in
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  840s
• 3:36
  and
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  Edomites
• 3:36
  encouraged
• 3:37
  this
• 3:37
  attack
• 3:38
  The
• 3:38
  main
• 3:38
  theme
• 3:38
  of
• 3:39
  this
• 3:39
  book
• 3:39
  is
• 3:39
  judgment
• 3:40
  upon
• 3:40
  the
• 3:40
  Edomites
• 3:41
  And
• 3:41
  that
• 3:41
  God
• 3:42
  will
• 3:42
  righteously
• 3:42
  judge
• 3:43
  all
• 3:43
  nations
• 3:44
  that
• 3:44
  do
• 3:44
  not
• 3:44
  submit
• 3:45
  to
• 3:45
  His
• 3:45
  lordship
• 3:46
  Let's
• 3:46
  take
• 3:46
  a
• 3:46
  quick
• 3:47
  walk
• 3:47
  down
• 3:47
  memory
• 3:47
  lane
• 3:48
  to
• 3:48
  remember
• 3:48
  just
• 3:48
  who
• 3:48
  the
• 3:49
  Edomites
• 3:49
  are.
• 3:50
  We'll
• 3:50
  go
• 3:50
  back
• 3:50
  to
• 3:50
  the
• 3:50
  middle
• 3:51
  of
• 3:51
  Genesis
• 3:52
  when
• 3:52
  Rebecca,
• 3:52
  the
• 3:53
  wife
• 3:53
  of
• 3:53
  Isaac,
• 3:53
  finds
• 3:54
  out
• 3:54
  she's
• 3:54
  pregnant
• 3:54
  with
• 3:54
  twins.
• 3:55
  She
• 3:55
  inquires
• 3:55
  of
• 3:56
  the
• 3:56
  Lord
• 3:56
  why
• 3:56
  the
• 3:56
  pregnancy
• 3:57
  is
• 3:57
  so
• 3:57
  difficult,
• 3:58
  and
• 3:58
  he
• 3:58
  tells
• 3:58
  her
• 3:59
  she's
• 3:59
  pregnant
• 3:59
  with
• 3:59
  twins
• 4:00
  and
• 4:00
  two
• 4:00
  nations
• 4:01
  are
• 4:01
  in
• 4:01
  her
• 4:01
  womb,
• 4:02
  and
• 4:02
  that
• 4:02
  the
• 4:02
  younger
• 4:02
  will
• 4:02
  serve
• 4:03
  the
• 4:03
  older.
• 4:03
  One
• 4:04
  day
• 4:04
  Esau
• 4:04
  is
• 4:04
  famished
• 4:05
  from
• 4:05
  hunting
• 4:06
  and
• 4:06
  he
• 4:06
  comes
• 4:06
  in
• 4:07
  and
• 4:07
  decides
• 4:07
  to
• 4:08
  exchange
• 4:08
  his
• 4:08
  birthright
• 4:09
  for
• 4:09
  a
• 4:09
  bowl
• 4:10
  of
• 4:10
  stew.
• 4:11
  The
• 4:11
  name
• 4:11
  Edom
• 4:11
  is
• 4:12
  given
• 4:12
  to
• 4:12
  his
• 4:12
  line
• 4:12
  because
• 4:13
  it
• 4:13
  means
• 4:13
  red
• 4:14
  And
• 4:14
  it
• 4:14
  refers
• 4:14
  to
• 4:15
  this
• 4:15
  red
• 4:15
  stew
• 4:16
  Scripture
• 4:16
  tells
• 4:16
  us
• 4:17
  that
• 4:17
  He
• 4:17
  despised
• 4:18
  his
• 4:18
  birthright.
• 4:19
  He
• 4:19
  wasn't
• 4:19
  just
• 4:19
  hangry
• 4:20
  and
• 4:20
  later,
• 4:20
  as
• 4:20
  he
• 4:21
  marries
• 4:21
  Canaanite
• 4:21
  women
• 4:22
  his
• 4:22
  character
• 4:22
  flaw
• 4:22
  continues
• 4:23
  And
• 4:23
  then
• 4:24
  we
• 4:24
  have
• 4:24
  that
• 4:24
  moment
• 4:24
  that
• 4:25
  Jacob
• 4:25
  deceives
• 4:26
  his
• 4:26
  father
• 4:26
  Isaac
• 4:27
  into
• 4:27
  blessing
• 4:27
  him
• 4:28
  instead
• 4:28
  of
• 4:28
  Esau.
• 4:29
  Esau
• 4:29
  was
• 4:29
  so
• 4:29
  furious
• 4:30
  he
• 4:30
  wanted
• 4:30
  to
• 4:30
  kill
• 4:30
  Jacob,
• 4:31
  so
• 4:31
  Jacob
• 4:31
  fled,
• 4:32
  and
• 4:32
  God
• 4:32
  took
• 4:33
  him
• 4:33
  on
• 4:33
  a
• 4:33
  different
• 4:33
  path,
• 4:34
  allowing
• 4:34
  him
• 4:34
  to
• 4:34
  be
• 4:34
  humbled
• 4:35
  through
• 4:35
  many
• 4:35
  circumstances
• 4:36
  Eventually,
• 4:37
  there
• 4:37
  was
• 4:37
  forgiveness
• 4:38
  between
• 4:38
  these
• 4:38
  two
• 4:38
  brothers,
• 4:39
  but
• 4:39
  even
• 4:40
  after
• 4:40
  their
• 4:40
  reconciliation,
• 4:41
  they
• 4:41
  don't
• 4:42
  set
• 4:42
  up
• 4:42
  camp
• 4:42
  together,
• 4:43
  and
• 4:43
  the
• 4:43
  family
• 4:43
  lines
• 4:44
  that
• 4:44
  come
• 4:44
  from
• 4:44
  them
• 4:45
  embrace
• 4:45
  this
• 4:45
  tenuous
• 4:46
  relationship
• 4:47
  after
• 4:47
  God
• 4:48
  led
• 4:48
  the
• 4:48
  Israelites
• 4:48
  out
• 4:49
  of
• 4:49
  Egypt,
• 4:49
  they
• 4:50
  requested
• 4:50
  to
• 4:50
  pass
• 4:51
  through
• 4:51
  the
• 4:51
  Edomite
• 4:51
  land
• 4:52
  on
• 4:52
  the
• 4:52
  King's
• 4:52
  Highway.
• 4:53
  God
• 4:53
  cares
• 4:54
  deeply
• 4:54
  about
• 4:54
  hospitality
• 4:55
  And
• 4:55
  for
• 4:56
  the
• 4:56
  Edomites'
• 4:56
  refusal
• 4:57
  to
• 4:57
  show
• 4:57
  kindness
• 4:58
  to
• 4:58
  their
• 4:58
  brothering
• 4:58
  nation
• 4:59
  and
• 4:59
  causing
• 5:00
  about
• 5:00
  150-mile
• 5:01
  detour
• 5:02
  for
• 5:02
  them
• 5:02
  through
• 5:02
  rocky,
• 5:03
  arid
• 5:03
  land
• 5:04
  God
• 5:04
  rebuked
• 5:04
  them.
• 5:05
  This
• 5:05
  conflict
• 5:05
  continued
• 5:06
  through
• 5:06
  the
• 5:06
  reigns
• 5:07
  of
• 5:07
  Saul,
• 5:07
  David,
• 5:08
  Solomon,
• 5:08
  and
• 5:09
  Jehoram.
• 5:09
  Edom
• 5:10
  represents
• 5:10
  a
• 5:10
  prideful,
• 5:11
  self-reliant,
• 5:12
  uncompromising
• 5:13
  nation
• 5:13
  And
• 5:14
  if
• 5:14
  you
• 5:14
  can
• 5:14
  picture
• 5:14
  a
• 5:14
  map
• 5:15
  with
• 5:15
  me
• 5:15
  for
• 5:15
  a
• 5:15
  moment,
• 5:16
  when
• 5:16
  the
• 5:16
  Israelites
• 5:16
  reach
• 5:17
  the
• 5:17
  Promised
• 5:17
  Land,
• 5:18
  they
• 5:18
  have
• 5:18
  the
• 5:18
  Mediterranean
• 5:19
  Sea
• 5:19
  on
• 5:20
  the
• 5:20
  west,
• 5:20
  and
• 5:20
  on
• 5:21
  the
• 5:21
  east,
• 5:21
  the
• 5:21
  Dead
• 5:22
  Sea
• 5:22
  And
• 5:22
  Edom
• 5:23
  is
• 5:23
  on
• 5:23
  the
• 5:23
  southeast
• 5:24
  of
• 5:25
  the
• 5:25
  Dead
• 5:25
  Sea,
• 5:25
  through
• 5:26
  a
• 5:26
  region
• 5:26
  with
• 5:26
  rock
• 5:27
  formations
• 5:28
  that
• 5:28
  extended
• 5:28
  high
• 5:29
  into
• 5:29
  the
• 5:29
  sky
• 5:29
  where
• 5:29
  eagles
• 5:30
  built
• 5:30
  their
• 5:30
  nests,
• 5:31
  and
• 5:31
  these
• 5:31
  rock
• 5:31
  formations
• 5:32
  had
• 5:32
  clefts
• 5:33
  and
• 5:33
  tunnels
• 5:33
  through
• 5:33
  them,
• 5:34
  providing
• 5:34
  them
• 5:34
  an
• 5:35
  amazing
• 5:35
  refuge.
• 5:36
  but
• 5:36
  surely
• 5:36
  the
• 5:37
  God
• 5:37
  who
• 5:37
  created
• 5:37
  the
• 5:37
  rocks
• 5:38
  would
• 5:38
  not
• 5:38
  be
• 5:38
  limited
• 5:39
  by
• 5:39
  them
• 5:40
  Their
• 5:40
  Edomite
• 5:40
  city
• 5:41
  of
• 5:41
  Sela
• 5:41
  is
• 5:41
  also
• 5:42
  referred
• 5:42
  to
• 5:42
  in
• 5:42
  scripture
• 5:43
  as
• 5:43
  Mount
• 5:43
  Seir,
• 5:43
  and
• 5:44
  it's
• 5:44
  in
• 5:44
  modern-day
• 5:44
  Jordan
• 5:45
  and
• 5:45
  the
• 5:45
  city
• 5:45
  of
• 5:46
  Petra.
• 5:46
  And
• 5:46
  when
• 5:46
  a
• 5:46
  foreign
• 5:47
  nation
• 5:47
  came
• 5:47
  to
• 5:48
  attack
• 5:48
  their
• 5:48
  brother
• 5:49
  Israel,
• 5:49
  instead
• 5:49
  of
• 5:50
  being
• 5:50
  an
• 5:50
  aid,
• 5:50
  they
• 5:51
  encouraged
• 5:51
  the
• 5:51
  attack
• 5:52
  and
• 5:52
  plundered
• 5:52
  and
• 5:52
  looted
• 5:52
  the
• 5:53
  people
• 5:53
  of
• 5:53
  the
• 5:53
  Lord.
• 5:54
  Now
• 5:54
  that
• 5:54
  we
• 5:54
  have
• 5:54
  that
• 5:54
  recap,
• 5:55
  let's
• 5:55
  hear
• 5:56
  this
• 5:56
  powerful
• 5:56
  rebuke
• 5:57
  that
• 5:57
  Obadiah
• 5:58
  issues
• 5:58
  against
• 5:58
  the
• 5:58
  nation
• 5:59
  of
• 5:59
  Edom.
• 5:59
  But
• 6:00
  try
• 6:00
  to
• 6:00
  listen
• 6:00
  for
• 6:00
  the
• 6:00
  moment
• 6:01
  that
• 6:01
  it
• 6:01
  shifts
• 6:02
  to
• 6:02
  rebuke
• 6:02
  all
• 6:02
  nations
• 6:03
  that
• 6:03
  don't
• 6:03
  humble
• 6:03
  themselves
• 6:04
  before
• 6:04
  the
• 6:04
  Lord
• 6:05
  Thus
• 6:05
  says
• 6:06
  the
• 6:06
  Lord
• 6:06
  God
• 6:06
  concerning
• 6:07
  Edom:
• 6:07
  We
• 6:07
  have
• 6:08
  heard
• 6:08
  a
• 6:08
  report
• 6:08
  from
• 6:08
  the
• 6:09
  Lord,
• 6:09
  and
• 6:09
  a
• 6:09
  messenger
• 6:10
  has
• 6:10
  been
• 6:10
  sent
• 6:10
  among
• 6:11
  the
• 6:11
  nations:
• 6:11
  Rise
• 6:12
  up,
• 6:12
  let
• 6:12
  us
• 6:13
  rise
• 6:13
  against
• 6:13
  her
• 6:13
  for
• 6:13
  battle."
• 6:14
  Behold,
• 6:15
  I
• 6:15
  will
• 6:15
  make
• 6:15
  you
• 6:15
  small
• 6:16
  among
• 6:16
  the
• 6:16
  nations;
• 6:17
  you
• 6:17
  shall
• 6:17
  be
• 6:18
  utterly
• 6:18
  despised.
• 6:19
  The
• 6:19
  pride
• 6:20
  of
• 6:20
  your
• 6:20
  heart
• 6:20
  has
• 6:20
  deceived
• 6:21
  you,
• 6:21
  you
• 6:21
  who
• 6:21
  live
• 6:22
  in
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  clefts
• 6:22
  of
• 6:22
  the
• 6:23
  rock,
• 6:23
  in

  in
• 6:25
  your

• 6:26
  Who

  will

  bring

  me
• 6:26
  down
• 6:26
  to

  the

• 6:27
  Though
• 6:27
  you
• 6:28
  soar
• 6:28
  aloft
• 6:28
  like
• 6:29
  the

  though

  your

  there

  I

• 6:34
  If

  thieves

  came

  you,

  if

  plunderers

  came

  by

  night,

  how

  you
• 6:37
  have

  been

  destroyed!
• 6:38
  Would

  they

  not

  steal
• 6:39
  only
• 6:40
  enough

  for

  themselves?

  If

  grape

  gatherers

  came

  to

  would

  they

  not
• 6:43
  leave

  gleanings?
• 6:44
  How

  Esau
• 6:44
  has
• 6:45
  been
• 6:45
  pillaged,
• 6:45
  his

• 6:46
  sought

  out!
• 6:47
  All
• 6:47
  your

  allies
• 6:47
  have

  driven

  you

  those

  with

  you

  you,

  they

  I

  your

  the

  For

  the

  the

  Lord

  is

  upon

  all

  the

• 7:49
  As

  you

  have

  done,

  it

  shall

  done

  to

  you.

  Your

  your

  the

  shall

  drink
• 7:59
  and

  swallow,
• 8:00
  and
• 8:00
  shall
• 8:00
  be

  as

  though
• 8:01
  they
• 8:01
  had

  never

  been.
• 8:02
  But
• 8:02
  in

  Mount

  Zion
• 8:03
  there

  shall
• 8:04
  be

  those

  who

  escape,

  and

  it

  shall

  be

  holy.
• 8:06
  And
• 8:06
  the

  house
• 8:07
  of
• 8:07
  Jacob
• 8:07
  shall
• 8:07
  possess
• 8:08
  their

  possessions.
• 8:09
  The
• 8:09
  house
• 8:09
  of
• 8:09
  Jacob
• 8:10
  shall
• 8:10
  be
• 8:10
  a
• 8:10
  fire,
• 8:11
  and
• 8:11
  the
• 8:11
  house
• 8:11
  of
• 8:11
  Joseph
• 8:12
  a
• 8:12
  flame,
• 8:13
  and
• 8:13
  the
• 8:13
  house
• 8:13
  of
• 8:13
  Esau
• 8:14
  stubble.
• 8:15
  They
• 8:15
  shall
• 8:15
  burn
• 8:15
  them
• 8:16
  and
• 8:16
  consume
• 8:16
  them,
• 8:17
  and
• 8:17
  there
• 8:17
  shall
• 8:17
  be
• 8:17
  no
• 8:18
  survivor
• 8:18
  for
• 8:19
  the

  house
• 8:19
  of
• 8:19
  Esau,
• 8:20
  for
• 8:20
  the
• 8:20
  Lord
• 8:20
  has
• 8:20
  spoken.
• 8:21
  Clearly,
• 8:22
  there
• 8:22
  was
• 8:22
  judgment
• 8:23
  to
• 8:23
  come
• 8:23
  for
• 8:23
  this
• 8:23
  nation.
• 8:24
  and
• 8:24
  We'll
• 8:24
  cover
• 8:24
  it
• 8:25
  more
• 8:25
  later,
• 8:25
  but
• 8:25
  in
• 8:25
  2
• 8:26
  Chronicles
• 8:26
  25,
• 8:27
  10,000
• 8:28
  of
• 8:28
  these
• 8:28
  Edomites
• 8:29
  were
• 8:29
  taken
• 8:29
  to
• 8:29
  the
• 8:29
  top
• 8:30
  of
• 8:30
  a
• 8:30
  rock
• 8:30
  and
• 8:30
  thrown
• 8:30
  off.
• 8:31
  It
• 8:31
  seems
• 8:31
  that
• 8:31
  these
• 8:32
  rock
• 8:32
  formations
• 8:33
  that
• 8:33
  were
• 8:33
  their
• 8:33
  refuge
• 8:34
  became
• 8:34
  a
• 8:34
  place
• 8:35
  for
• 8:35
  many
• 8:35
  to
• 8:35
  be
• 8:35
  destroyed
• 8:36
  Ezekiel
• 8:36
  35
• 8:37
  also
• 8:37
  records
• 8:38
  their
• 8:38
  judgment
• 8:38
  saying
• 8:38
  over
• 8:39
  and
• 8:39
  over
• 8:39
  that
• 8:40
  they
• 8:40
  shall
• 8:40
  know
• 8:41
  that
• 8:41
  God
• 8:41
  is
• 8:41
  the
• 8:41
  Lord
• 8:42
  God's
• 8:42
  hand
• 8:43
  is
• 8:43
  often
• 8:43
  evident
• 8:43
  through
• 8:44
  His
• 8:44
  love
• 8:44
  and
• 8:44
  His
• 8:44
  mercy,
• 8:45
  but
• 8:45
  the
• 8:45
  reason
• 8:45
  it's
• 8:46
  so
• 8:46
  important
• 8:46
  for
• 8:47
  us
• 8:47
  to
• 8:47
  walk
• 8:47
  in
• 8:47
  the
• 8:47
  fear
• 8:47
  of
• 8:48
  Him
• 8:48
  is
• 8:48
  because
• 8:48
  His
• 8:49
  character
• 8:49
  is
• 8:49
  also
• 8:50
  perfectly
• 8:50
  displayed
• 8:51
  in
• 8:51
  His
• 8:51
  righteous
• 8:51
  judgment
• 8:52
  Later,
• 8:52
  King
• 8:53
  Herod
• 8:53
  came
• 8:53
  through
• 8:53
  the
• 8:54
  line
• 8:54
  of
• 8:54
  Edom,
• 8:54
  but
• 8:54
  God
• 8:55
  completely
• 8:55
  wiped
• 8:56
  his
• 8:56
  line
• 8:56
  out
• 8:56
  as
• 8:56
  well.
• 8:57
  The
• 8:57
  nation
• 8:57
  of
• 8:58
  Edom
• 8:58
  has
• 8:58
  been
• 8:58
  erased
• 8:59
  but
• 8:59
  Israel
• 9:00
  remains
• 9:00
  today.
• 9:01
  And
• 9:01
  as
• 9:01
  it's
• 9:01
  fresh
• 9:01
  in
• 9:02
  my
• 9:02
  mind,
• 9:02
  I'm
• 9:02
  returning
• 9:03
  from
• 9:03
  a
• 9:03
  trip
• 9:03
  to
• 9:03
  see
• 9:04
  Betsy,
• 9:04
  the
• 9:04
  executive
• 9:05
  director
• 9:05
  and
• 9:05
  founder
• 9:06
  of
• 9:06
  our
• 9:06
  ministry,
• 9:07
  and
• 9:07
  the
• 9:07
  author
• 9:07
  of
• 9:07
  Entrusted
• 9:08
  With
• 9:08
  a
• 9:08
  Child's
• 9:08
  Heart.
• 9:08
  We
• 9:09
  did
• 9:09
  a
• 9:09
  little
• 9:09
  bit
• 9:09
  of
• 9:09
  a
• 9:09
  cousin
• 9:10
  camp
• 9:10
  together
• 9:10
  and
• 9:10
  watched
• 9:11
  eight
• 9:11
  kids.
• 9:11
  We
• 9:12
  had
• 9:12
  so
• 9:12
  much
• 9:12
  fun,
• 9:12
  and
• 9:13
  the
• 9:13
  kids
• 9:13
  were
• 9:13
  wonderful.
• 9:14
  But
• 9:14
  you
• 9:14
  know
• 9:14
  what?
• 9:14
  There
• 9:15
  were
• 9:15
  some
• 9:15
  times
• 9:16
  where
• 9:16
  pride
• 9:16
  popped
• 9:16
  up,
• 9:17
  kids
• 9:17
  didn't
• 9:17
  want
• 9:17
  to
• 9:17
  apologize,
• 9:18
  and
• 9:18
  hearts
• 9:18
  weren't
• 9:18
  humbled.
• 9:19
  and
• 9:19
  we
• 9:19
  had
• 9:19
  to
• 9:19
  pull
• 9:20
  kids
• 9:20
  out
• 9:20
  of
• 9:20
  pools,
• 9:21
  and
• 9:21
  plans
• 9:21
  got
• 9:21
  delayed
• 9:22
  so
• 9:22
  that
• 9:22
  we
• 9:22
  could
• 9:22
  take
• 9:23
  time
• 9:23
  to
• 9:23
  get
• 9:23
  to
• 9:23
  the
• 9:24
  root
• 9:24
  of
• 9:24
  the
• 9:24
  issues.
• 9:25
  Because
• 9:25
  we
• 9:25
  know
• 9:26
  how
• 9:26
  important
• 9:26
  it
• 9:26
  is
• 9:27
  that
• 9:27
  we
• 9:27
  learn
• 9:27
  to
• 9:27
  humble
• 9:27
  ourselves
• 9:28
  before
• 9:28
  the
• 9:28
  Lord
• 9:29
  and
• 9:29
  before
• 9:29
  others
• 9:30
  when
• 9:30
  we
• 9:30
  wrong
• 9:30
  them.
• 9:31
  While
• 9:31
  we
• 9:31
  can't
• 9:31
  force
• 9:32
  our
• 9:32
  kids
• 9:32
  to
• 9:32
  be
• 9:32
  sorry,
• 9:33
  we
• 9:34
  also
• 9:34
  don't
• 9:34
  need
• 9:34
  to
• 9:34
  let
• 9:35
  them
• 9:35
  continue
• 9:35
  to
• 9:35
  splash
• 9:36
  in
• 9:36
  pools,
• 9:36
  eat
• 9:37
  ice
• 9:37
  cream
• 9:37
  cones,
• 9:37
  or
• 9:37
  go
• 9:38
  shopping
• 9:38
  for
• 9:38
  surprises
• 9:39
  when
• 9:39
  there
• 9:39
  are
• 9:39
  deep
• 9:40
  issues.
• 9:40
  So
• 9:40
  I
• 9:40
  want
• 9:41
  to
• 9:41
  encourage
• 9:41
  you
• 9:41
  that
• 9:42
  as
• 9:42
  you
• 9:42
  go
• 9:42
  to
• 9:42
  bat
• 9:43
  for
• 9:43
  your
• 9:43
  kids'
• 9:43
  hearts,
• 9:44
  it
• 9:44
  will
• 9:44
  be
• 9:44
  worth
• 9:44
  it
• 9:45
  when
• 9:45
  you
• 9:45
  lovingly
• 9:46
  and
• 9:46
  patiently
• 9:46
  walk
• 9:46
  with
• 9:46
  them
• 9:47
  to
• 9:47
  help
• 9:47
  them
• 9:47
  acknowledge
• 9:48
  the
• 9:48
  selfishness
• 9:49
  that
• 9:49
  is
• 9:49
  so
• 9:50
  deeply
• 9:50
  rooted
• 9:50
  in
• 9:50
  all
• 9:51
  of
• 9:51
  us.
• 9:51
  You'll
• 9:51
  be
• 9:51
  blessing
• 9:52
  their
• 9:52
  walk
• 9:52
  with
• 9:52
  the
• 9:53
  Lord
• 9:53
  and
• 9:53
  helping
• 9:53
  set
• 9:54
  a
• 9:54
  foundation
• 9:54
  for
• 9:54
  them
• 9:54
  to
• 9:55
  thrive
• 9:55
  later
• 9:55
  in
• 9:56
  all
• 9:56
  of
• 9:56
  their
• 9:56
  relationships.
• 9:57
  We'll
• 9:57
  also
• 9:57
  see
• 9:58
  the
• 9:58
  importance
• 9:58
  of
• 9:58
  this
• 9:59
  in
• 9:59
  2
• 9:59
  Kings
• 9:59
  1
• 10:00
  as
• 10:00
  we
• 10:00
  conclude
• 10:00
  our
• 10:01
  reading.
• 10:01
  If
• 10:01
  you
• 10:01
  recall,
• 10:02
  the
• 10:02
  Book
• 10:02
  of
• 10:02
  Kings
• 10:02
  is
• 10:02
  a
• 10:03
  continuous
• 10:03
  storyline,
• 10:04
  but
• 10:04
  it
• 10:04
  was
• 10:04
  separated
• 10:05
  because
• 10:05
  it
• 10:05
  wouldn't
• 10:05
  fit
• 10:06
  entirely
• 10:06
  on
• 10:06
  one
• 10:06
  scroll.
• 10:07
  Though
• 10:07
  we're
• 10:07
  beginning
• 10:07
  a
• 10:08
  new
• 10:08
  book
• 10:08
  of
• 10:08
  the
• 10:08
  Bible,
• 10:08
  we
• 10:09
  don't
• 10:09
  need
• 10:09
  a
• 10:09
  new
• 10:09
  introduction
• 10:10
  as
• 10:10
  we
• 10:11
  continue
• 10:11
  to
• 10:11
  learn
• 10:11
  about
• 10:12
  the
• 10:12
  history
• 10:12
  of
• 10:12
  the
• 10:13
  kings
• 10:13
  that
• 10:13
  reigned
• 10:13
  over
• 10:13
  Judah
• 10:14
  and
• 10:14
  Israel
• 10:15
  after
• 10:15
  wicked
• 10:15
  Ahab
• 10:16
  died,
• 10:16
  his
• 10:17
  successor
• 10:17
  was
• 10:17
  ahaziah,
• 10:18
  he
• 10:18
  fell
• 10:19
  through
• 10:19
  the
• 10:19
  lattice
• 10:19
  in
• 10:19
  his
• 10:20
  upper
• 10:20
  chamber,
• 10:20
  sustaining
• 10:21
  pretty
• 10:21
  major
• 10:22
  injuries.
• 10:22
  He
• 10:22
  was
• 10:22
  wondering
• 10:23
  if
• 10:23
  he
• 10:23
  was
• 10:23
  going
• 10:23
  to
• 10:23
  get
• 10:23
  better,
• 10:24
  and
• 10:24
  even
• 10:25
  though
• 10:25
  that
• 10:25
  showdown
• 10:26
  at
• 10:26
  Mount
• 10:26
  Carmel
• 10:26
  between
• 10:27
  Yahweh
• 10:27
  and
• 10:27
  the
• 10:27
  prophets
• 10:28
  of
• 10:28
  Baal
• 10:28
  was
• 10:28
  relatively
• 10:29
  recent,
• 10:29
  he
• 10:30
  asked
• 10:30
  his
• 10:30
  messengers
• 10:31
  to
• 10:31
  go
• 10:31
  inquire
• 10:32
  if
• 10:32
  he
• 10:32
  was
• 10:32
  going
• 10:32
  to
• 10:32
  get
• 10:32
  better,
• 10:33
  and
• 10:33
  he
• 10:33
  sent
• 10:33
  them
• 10:34
  to
• 10:34
  ask
• 10:34
  Beelzebub.
• 10:35
  This
• 10:35
  could
• 10:36
  translate
• 10:36
  to
• 10:36
  the
• 10:36
  Lord
• 10:37
  of
• 10:37
  the
• 10:37
  Flies
• 10:38
  or
• 10:38
  to
• 10:38
  Prince
• 10:38
  Baal
• 10:39
  And
• 10:39
  in
• 10:39
  the
• 10:39
  New
• 10:40
  Testament,
• 10:40
  it
• 10:40
  translates
• 10:41
  to
• 10:41
  Beelzebub,
• 10:42
  which
• 10:42
  is
• 10:42
  another
• 10:43
  name
• 10:43
  for
• 10:43
  Satan,
• 10:43
  the
• 10:44
  prince
• 10:44
  of
• 10:44
  the
• 10:44
  demons.
• 10:45
  This
• 10:45
  is
• 10:45
  the
• 10:45
  exact
• 10:46
  opposite
• 10:46
  of
• 10:46
  what
• 10:46
  he
• 10:47
  should
• 10:47
  be
• 10:47
  doing,
• 10:47
  and
• 10:47
  an
• 10:48
  angel
• 10:48
  intercepts
• 10:49
  and
• 10:49
  tells
• 10:49
  Elijah
• 10:50
  To
• 10:50
  tell
• 10:50
  these
• 10:50
  messengers,
• 10:51
  to
• 10:51
  tell
• 10:51
  the
• 10:51
  king,
• 10:52
  Is
• 10:52
  there
• 10:52
  a
• 10:52
  reason
• 10:53
  you're
• 10:53
  not
• 10:53
  consulting
• 10:53
  the
• 10:53
  true
• 10:54
  God?"
• 10:54
  And
• 10:55
  no,
• 10:55
  you
• 10:55
  will
• 10:55
  not
• 10:55
  get
• 10:55
  better.
• 10:56
  You
• 10:56
  will
• 10:56
  die
• 10:56
  in
• 10:56
  your
• 10:56
  bed.
• 10:57
  The
• 10:57
  messengers
• 10:57
  report
• 10:58
  back
• 10:58
  to
• 10:58
  the
• 10:58
  king,
• 10:58
  and
• 10:59
  he
• 10:59
  sends
• 10:59
  a
• 10:59
  captain
• 11:00
  with
• 11:00
  50
• 11:00
  of
• 11:00
  his
• 11:01
  men
• 11:01
  After
• 11:01
  they're
• 11:02
  devoured
• 11:02
  by
• 11:02
  fire,
• 11:03
  and
• 11:03
  then
• 11:03
  another
• 11:04
  captain
• 11:04
  with
• 11:04
  his
• 11:04
  50
• 11:05
  men
• 11:05
  is
• 11:05
  devoured
• 11:05
  by
• 11:05
  fire
• 11:06
  The
• 11:06
  third
• 11:06
  captain
• 11:07
  is
• 11:07
  much
• 11:08
  wiser.
• 11:08
  He
• 11:09
  shows
• 11:09
  Elijah
• 11:09
  and
• 11:09
  the
• 11:09
  God
• 11:10
  of
• 11:10
  the
• 11:10
  Bible
• 11:10
  honor.
• 11:11
  And
• 11:11
  the
• 11:11
  angel
• 11:11
  tells
• 11:11
  Elijah,
• 11:12
  you
• 11:12
  don't
• 11:12
  have
• 11:13
  to
• 11:13
  be
• 11:13
  afraid
• 11:13
  of
• 11:13
  this
• 11:13
  captain
• 11:14
  or
• 11:14
  of
• 11:14
  the
• 11:14
  king.
• 11:15
  Elijah
• 11:15
  delivers
• 11:15
  the
• 11:15
  message
• 11:16
  to
• 11:16
  Ahaziah
• 11:16
  in
• 11:17
  person.
• 11:17
  And
• 11:17
  verse
• 11:18
  17
• 11:18
  tells
• 11:18
  us
• 11:18
  that
• 11:19
  he
• 11:19
  died
• 11:19
  according
• 11:20
  to
• 11:20
  the
• 11:20
  word
• 11:20
  of
• 11:20
  the
• 11:20
  Lord.
• 11:21
  And
• 11:21
  I'm
• 11:21
  not
• 11:21
  even
• 11:21
  going
• 11:22
  to
• 11:22
  get
• 11:22
  into
• 11:22
  it
• 11:22
  today,
• 11:23
  but
• 11:23
  listen
• 11:23
  to
• 11:23
  how
• 11:23
  complicated
• 11:24
  our
• 11:24
  timeline
• 11:25
  is
• 11:25
  going
• 11:25
  to
• 11:25
  get.
• 11:26
  Jehoram
• 11:26
  became
• 11:27
  king
• 11:27
  in
• 11:27
  his
• 11:27
  place
• 11:28
  in
• 11:28
  the
• 11:28
  second
• 11:28
  year
• 11:29
  of
• 11:29
  Jehoram,
• 11:29
  the
• 11:30
  son
• 11:30
  of
• 11:30
  Jehoshaphat,
• 11:30
  king
• 11:31
  of
• 11:31
  Judah.
• 11:31
  So
• 11:31
  we'll
• 11:31
  have
• 11:32
  a
• 11:32
  Jehoram
• 11:32
  reigning
• 11:33
  in
• 11:33
  Israel
• 11:34
  and
• 11:34
  a
• 11:34
  Jehoram
• 11:35
  reigning
• 11:35
  in
• 11:35
  Judah.
• 11:36
  But
• 11:36
  in
• 11:36
  the
• 11:36
  words
• 11:36
  of
• 11:36
  Scarlett
• 11:37
  O'Hara,
• 11:37
  "Let's
• 11:38
  not
• 11:38
  think
• 11:38
  about
• 11:38
  that
• 11:38
  today.
• 11:39
  We'll
• 11:39
  think
• 11:39
  about
• 11:39
  that
• 11:40
  tomorrow."
• 11:40
  Most
• 11:41
  Holy
• 11:41
  Father,
• 11:42
  we
• 11:42
  come
• 11:42
  before
• 11:42
  you
• 11:43
  full
• 11:43
  of
• 11:43
  gratitude
• 11:44
  That
• 11:44
  when
• 11:44
  we
• 11:44
  were
• 11:45
  wayward
• 11:45
  and
• 11:45
  full
• 11:46
  of
• 11:46
  pride,
• 11:46
  you
• 11:46
  were
• 11:46
  patient
• 11:47
  to
• 11:47
  lead
• 11:47
  us
• 11:47
  to
• 11:47
  yourself.
• 11:48
  We
• 11:48
  pray
• 11:49
  for
• 11:49
  those
• 11:49
  around
• 11:49
  us
• 11:50
  that
• 11:50
  have
• 11:50
  not
• 11:50
  humbled
• 11:50
  themselves
• 11:51
  before
• 11:51
  you,
• 11:51
  that
• 11:52
  are
• 11:52
  walking
• 11:52
  in
• 11:52
  defiance,
• 11:53
  relying
• 11:53
  on
• 11:53
  themselves.
• 11:54
  We
• 11:54
  pray
• 11:54
  that
• 11:55
  you
• 11:55
  would
• 11:55
  break
• 11:55
  through
• 11:56
  and
• 11:56
  that
• 11:56
  your
• 11:56
  kindness
• 11:57
  would
• 11:57
  lead
• 11:57
  them
• 11:57
  to
• 11:57
  repentance.
• 11:58
  May
• 11:58
  they
• 11:58
  come
• 11:59
  to
• 11:59
  the
• 11:59
  end
• 11:59
  of
• 11:59
  themselves
• 12:00
  and
• 12:00
  embrace
• 12:01
  your
• 12:01
  strength
• 12:02
  and
• 12:02
  your
• 12:02
  salvation
• 12:03
  And
• 12:03
  it's
• 12:03
  this
• 12:03
  strength
• 12:03
  that
• 12:04
  we
• 12:04
  need,
• 12:04
  Lord,
• 12:05
  to
• 12:05
  confront
• 12:05
  the
• 12:05
  stubbornness
• 12:06
  and
• 12:06
  the
• 12:06
  selfishness
• 12:07
  that
• 12:07
  we
• 12:08
  so
• 12:08
  often
• 12:08
  see
• 12:08
  in
• 12:08
  our
• 12:09
  kids,
• 12:09
  whether
• 12:09
  it's
• 12:09
  in
• 12:10
  sibling
• 12:10

  us
• 12:12
  wisdom
• 12:13
  and
• 12:13
  patience
• 12:13
  as

  we

  We

  to

  May

  minimize
• 12:25
  our

  but
• 12:26
  see
• 12:26
  it
• 12:26
  correctly
• 12:27
  as
• 12:27
  an
• 12:27
  affront
• 12:27
  to
• 12:27
  you.
• 12:28
  We

  thank

  you

  that

  you

  ourselves
• 12:31
  before
• 12:31
  you,

  and

  it's
• 12:32
  in
• 12:32
  this
• 12:33
  posture
• 12:33
  that

  we
