J-Team 3: Jehovah Nissi · Adventures: Bible Truths in Action

0:02
Deep in the heart of Israel, God desires to be known by his
0:06
chosen people, revealing himself to Moses as Yahweh the Great.
0:12
I am a name too holy to utter. The Israelites call him Jehovah.
0:20
Throughout the Old Testament, Jehovah responds to the faith of
0:23
his people and shows himself strong on their behalf.
0:28
In remembrance of Jehovah's power and love, the people give
0:31
him additional names describing his ability and willingness to
0:35
help in their lives. Each name describes the nature
0:40
of the one true God. Each is Jehovah.
0:45
Together they are the J team. Hezekiah was 25 years old when
0:57
he became king. He did what was pleasing in the
0:59
Lord's sight. Hezekiah trusted in the Lord,
1:03
the God of Israel. He remained faithful to the Lord
1:06
in everything, and he carefully obeyed all the commandments the
1:10
Lord had given Moses. Are you sure you know what
1:21
you're doing? Of course I know what I'm doing.
1:25
We're supposed to destroy anyone that is pleasing God.
1:28
King Hezekiah is pleasing God, and that makes him trouble.
1:33
But master, he's torn down every idol in the land.
1:37
He's even rebelled against the king of Assyria, the most
1:40
powerful king in the land. And that's why the Assyrians are
1:44
now threatening Hezekiah. Now Hezekiah is the one in
1:48
trouble. Big trouble.
1:50
You haven't made anyone sick, right?
1:53
So we don't have to worry about Jehovah Rapha.
1:56
That's right. And Jehovah Jaira, the provider,
1:59
isn't needed at all. Well, maybe they do need some
2:03
protection right now, but that's not his specialty.
2:07
Yeah, Jehovah Jaira mainly deals with physical needs like food,
2:11
clothes, money, that sort of thing.
2:14
See, I thought of everything. There's nothing to worry about.
2:20
Why are you pacing back and forth?
2:22
I'm just a little worried, that's all.
2:25
Well, worry no more, check this out.
2:32
King Hezekiah, a message has come for you from your enemy
2:36
Sanakshereb, the king of Assyria.
2:39
Thank you, servant, I'll read it myself.
2:44
Don't let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you with promises
2:49
that Jerusalem will not be captured by the king of Assyria.
2:53
You know perfectly well what the kings of Assyria have done.
2:56
Wherever they have gone, they have completely destroyed
3:01
everyone who stood in their way. Why should you be any different?
3:07
No other God has been able to deliver their nations from being
3:10
destroyed. Where are all the kings of the
3:13
lands we have destroyed? You must admit Damon, the king
3:20
of Assyria, knows how to threaten people.
3:22
He just called God a liar. Yeah, I don't think he should
3:28
have done that. Quit worrying.
3:31
Hezekiah is the one who should be worrying.
3:36
Look at him, he just fell to his knees.
3:40
He's lost all hope. I don't think that's why he fell
3:43
to his knees. Master.
3:45
Look, he's praying. What it can't be?
3:49
We are in trouble now. I just know it what to do, what
3:54
to do. Lord God of Israel, you alone
4:02
have made heaven and earth. You hear us when we pray and you
4:07
have heard these threats against you.
4:10
Assyria has destroyed many nation but none of them had you
4:15
as their God. King Hezekiah is exalting God
4:18
like he's some sort of a banner or something.
4:22
Banner. Why did you use the word banner?
4:26
Look and see Lord, the words of Sana Sharib are a reproach to
4:31
you. Yes, the kings of Assyria have
4:34
destroyed many nations and cast their gods into the fire.
4:38
Only they were not gods, they were man made idols.
4:44
I pray Lord God, rescue us from his power.
4:48
Then all the kingdoms of the earth will know that you alone,
4:52
O Lord, are God. What was that Nisi?
5:02
See what? Look right there.
5:05
Who is that? Jehovah Nisi, the Lord God,
5:09
their banner. Banner, you said banner again.
5:13
A banner is a flag. What can a flag do to us?
5:19
I'm not afraid of a flag. A banner is hung once something
5:25
has been conquered. Some folks call me Conqueror.
5:29
The only one that's going to do any conquering is the king of
5:33
Assyria. 185,000 Assyrians will die while they sleep, and your
5:39
king of Assyria will turn back home, where he will remain until
5:43
he has eventually killed himself.
5:45
Now be gone from my sight. We're leaving, we're leaving.
5:50
Yeah, you don't have to tell us twice, King.
5:56
Hezekiah, forgive me for interrupting.
6:01
There is another message, but this time it's from the prophet
6:04
Isaiah. It's good.
6:06
News. This is what the Lord says about
6:11
the king of Assyria. His armies will not enter
6:15
Jerusalem. They will not even shoot an
6:18
arrow at it. The king will return to his own
6:22
country by the same Rd. on which he came.
6:25
He will not enter the city, says the Lord.
6:28
I will defend this city and protect it.
6:36
That night, the Angel of the Lord went out to the Assyrian
6:39
camp and killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers.
6:44
When the surviving Assyrians woke up the next morning, King
6:47
Sena Cherub of Assyria broke camp and returned to his own
6:50
land. One day, while King Sena Cherub
6:53
was worshipping in the temple of his God, two of his own sons
6:57
killed him with their swords. The next time you find yourself
7:01
in trouble, be sure to turn to Jehovah Nisi for help.
7:05
He is a very present help in the time of trouble.
7:08
You 2 can pray knowing that Jehovah Nisi, the Lord God
7:11
Almighty, is your banner. He is Jehovah Nisi.
7:16
