The Nephilim Did NOT Die in the Flood _ The Hidden Truth of Numbers 13 That Nobody Tells You · truthunedited

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: The flood killed every living thing on earth, every human being,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: every animal, everything that breathed. The water rose, covered the mountains,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: and the world died beneath it. The Nephilim, the giants,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the corruption, the reason God sent the flood in the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: first place, were supposed to be finished. But 800 years later,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: 12 spies walked into Canaan and came back shaking. Numbers 13.33
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We saw the Nephilim there, same word, same beings, still
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: in the land. If the flood killed everything, how are
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: they still here? And what were they really that God
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: would drown an entire planet to stop them? Because the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Nephilim were not an accident. They were a weapon. And
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: when the flood failed to finish them, God launched a
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: war that would last 2,500 years. Let us begin. To
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: understand the Nephilim, you cannot start in Genesis 6. You
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: have to go back one chapter earlier, to a garden,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to a curse, to the single most important sentence in
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the Old Testament, Genesis 3.15. God is speaking directly to
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the serpent. Adam and Eve have just fallen. The fruit
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: has been eaten. Sin has entered the world. And in
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the middle of pronouncing judgment, God makes a promise, not
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: to the man, not to the woman, but to the enemy.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I will put enmity between you and the woman, and
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: between your offspring and her offspring. He shall bruise your head,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and you shall bruise his heel. This is the Proto-Evangelium,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the first gospel, the first announcement of salvation in the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: entire Bible, and it contains a detail that Satan would
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: have understood immediately. He shall bruise your head, not they, he, singular.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: One specific human being, born through one specific bloodline, would
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: one day destroy the serpent, the seed of the woman.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: An unusual phrase, because in Hebrew culture, lineage always traces
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: through the father, not the mother. God is pointing to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: a future child born through a line that he himself
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: will choose and protect across thousands of years of human history.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: From this moment forward, Satan had one problem and one objective.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: The problem, a human descendant would crush him. The objective,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: make sure that human is never born. His counter-strategy was
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: elegant in its brutality. He did not need to kill
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: every person on earth. He needed to corrupt the DNA.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: If every human bloodline is contaminated... If the line between
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: human and something else is permanently and irreversibly blurred, then
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: no pure human Messiah can ever be born. The promise
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of Genesis 3.15 dies in the blood. That is what
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Genesis 6 is, not a strange story, not an ancient curiosity,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: a targeted biological attack on the line that would produce
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the Savior of the world. When human beings began to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: increase in number on the earth and daughters were born
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: they chose. The sons of God. In Hebrew, Bene Ha Elohim.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: The exact same phrase appears in Job 1.6, Job 2.1,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: and Job 38.7, and in every one of those passages,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it refers without ambiguity to angelic beings. This was the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: dominant Jewish interpretation for centuries before the church age began.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: It was the reading of the earliest commentators. It was
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the understanding of the apostles who wrote the New Testament.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: The book of Enoch, a text that is not in
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the biblical canon but was clearly known to the New
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Testament authors since Jude verse 14 directly quotes from it,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: fills in the operational detail. Two hundred angelic beings called
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the Watchers descended to earth, led by one named Semyaza.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: They gathered at the summit of Mount Hermon, at the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: northern border of what would later become the Promised Land.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: The name Hermon itself comes from the Hebrew word sherem,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: meaning devoted to destruction. That is what they named the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: mountain where they made their pact. They swore a binding oath.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: They took human wives, and the Nephilim were born. Genesis
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: 6-4 calls the Nephilim Jibberim, mighty ones, warriors of renown.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: These were not simply tall men. These were beings of
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: immense and terrifying power, born from the collision of the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: angelic and the human. And they filled the earth with violence.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: The watchers taught humanity, knowledge it was never meant to possess.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: metallurgy for forging weapons, sorcery, enchantments, the reading of stars.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: The knowledge accelerated the violence, the violence escalated the corruption,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and the corruption spread until Genesis 6.11 says the earth
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: was shachath, a Hebrew word that does not mean merely sinful,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: it means ruined, structurally broken, damaged beyond the point of repair.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: God looked at his creation and saw something that could
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: no longer be fixed, only reset. The Nephilim were not
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: an accident. They were not a footnote. They were a weapon,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: engineered to destroy a single bloodline before it could produce
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a single child. And when God saw what they had
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: done to his world, his response was total. If you
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: are new here, please subscribe and stay with me. Because
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: what comes next is the part that almost nobody talks about.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: God needed one family, one bloodline that the corruption had
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: not reached, and he found it in a farmer. Genesis
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: 6-9 Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of his time, and he walked faithfully with God. Two
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Hebrew words describe Noah in this verse, and both of
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: them matter. The first is tzaddik, righteous, a legal and
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: moral term. Noah conducted himself with integrity in a world
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that had abandoned it. The second word is tamim, and
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: this is the one that should stop every reader in
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: their tracks. Tamim means complete, whole, without defect. On its own,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: it could simply describe Noah's moral character, that he was
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: blameless in his conduct, and many scholars read it exactly
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: that way. But the Bible uses this word more than
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: 50 times in the Torah alone, and in the overwhelming
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: majority of those occurrences, it describes one thing, sacrificial animals.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Exodus 12.5, the Passover lamb must be tamim, without blemish.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Leviticus 1.3, the burnt offering must be tamim, without defect.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Leviticus 3.1, the peace offering, tamim. The same word, passage
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: after passage, applied to the physical and biological integrity of
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: an animal presented before God. And God chose this word,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: this specific word, to describe Noah. In the one chapter
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: of scripture where the corruption is biological, where the blood
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: of angels is mixing with the blood of humans, where
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the boundary between species has been violated, In that context,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: God says Noah was Tamim in his generations. His line
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: was whole. His genealogy was intact. His blood had not
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: been touched. God preserved that line. He built an ark
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: around it. He drowned the entire world to protect it.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And when the water receded and Noah's family stepped onto
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a silent, empty earth, the chain was secure. Noah to Shem.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Shem to Abraham. Abraham to Isaac. Isaac to Jacob, Jacob
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to Judah, Judah to David, David to a child born
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: in Bethlehem who would carry the weight of every promise
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: God had ever made. The flood was not God losing
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: his temper. It was surgery, precise and total. He cut
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: out the corruption and preserved the line through one family.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Every Nephilim drowned, every contaminated bloodline ended. The water rose,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and the weapon was destroyed. Problem solved. Except for three words.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Genesis 6, 4. The Nephilim were on the earth in
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: those days, and also afterward. Hebrew, wigamahareken, and also afterward.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Most people read this verse and their eyes continue to
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the next line. They should not. They should stop here,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: because those three words break the entire narrative wide open.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: After what? After the days described. After Noah. After the flood.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: After God drowned every living thing on the planet to
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: eliminate the Nephilim, it happened again. A second incursion. The
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: same strategy deployed a second time. New angels abandoning their
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: proper dwelling. New unions with human women. New giants born
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: into the earth. Satan does not learn, but he adapts.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: The first time, he scattered the corruption randomly and let
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: it spread until the whole earth was ruined. That approach failed.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: God simply wiped the board clean. The second time, Satan
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: was surgical. He did not scatter the new giant clans
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: at random. He placed them deliberately. Every clan in a
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: specific territory, every stronghold Deuteronomy chapters 2 and 3 Moses
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: is walking Israel through the territories east of the Jordan River,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: preparing them for what lies ahead. And he does something unusual.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: For each region they pass through, he does not simply
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: describe the terrain. He tells them who used to live there.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: He names the former inhabitants. He describes their size. And
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: then he tells Israel exactly what God did to remove them.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: This is not a geography lesson. This is a commander
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: briefing his forces on enemy positions. Positions. that have already
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: been neutralized, and positions that still need to be taken.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And every single position on this map was chosen by
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: an enemy who knew exactly what he was blocking. The
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: first clan, the Emim. The name means the terrifying ones,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and the people they terrorized knew why. They occupied the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: territory of Moab, east of the Dead Sea. Deuteronomy 2.10
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: says they were a people strong and numerous, and as
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: tall as the Anakites. Giants. Holding Moabite land. Tall as
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the worst of them. And now ask yourself a question
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: that changes everything. Why does Moab matter to the Messianic line?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Because a woman named Ruth would one day walk out
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: of Moab. A Moabite widow, who would leave everything she knew,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: travel to Bethlehem with her mother-in-law Naomi, glean in the
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: fields of a man named Boaz and become his wife.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Ruth would give birth to Obed. Obed would father Jesse.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Jesse would father David. And through the line of David,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the Messiah would come. Matthew chapter 1 names Ruth explicitly
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: in the genealogy of Jesus Christ. The MM were sitting
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: on Ruth's road to Bethlehem. If that territory stays corrupted,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: If the giant bloodline holds Moab and the land remains
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: under their dominion, Ruth never makes the journey. Boaz never
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: meets his wife. David is never born. The messianic line
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: is severed at one of its most critical links. God
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: gave the Moabites power to destroy the Amim, giants as
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: tall as the Anakites, and they are gone, wiped from
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the land. because God needed that road clear 400 years
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: before Ruth would walk it. The second clan, the Refaim,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the name means the dead ones, a word connected in
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Canaanite mythology to the shades of the underworld, the spirits
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of the departed. Their territory spanned the region of Bashan,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the modern Golan Heights, and a valley that bore their
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: name just outside a city that did not yet have
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: its famous name, the Valley of Refaim. outside Jerusalem. Jerusalem,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the city where Solomon would build the temple. The city
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: where the presence of the living God would dwell between
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the wings of the cherubim. The city where Jesus of
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Nazareth would be arrested, tried, crucified, buried, and resurrected on
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the third day. The Rephaim were camped on the ground
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: where the salvation of the human race would be purchased.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Their last king was Og of Bashan. Deuteronomy 3.11. His
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: bed was nine cubits long and four cubits wide, thirteen
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: and a half feet by six feet, iron, kept on
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: display in Rabbah of the Ammonites like a captured enemy
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: weapon in a war museum. The text calls him the
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: last remnant of the Rephaim east of the Jordan, and
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Moses killed him. an 80-year-old man with a stutter who
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: had begged God to send someone else. That is who
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: God sent against the biggest king on the map. And
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: his iron bed became a monument to a simple fact.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: The giant is dead, and the road to Jerusalem is open.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: The third clan, the Zamzumim. The name means the whisperers,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: though whatever they whispered was enough to make entire nations recoil.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: They held the territory of Ammon, directly east of the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Jordan River. Ammon was Israel's critical eastern border, the buffer
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: between the Promised Land and the hostile kingdoms beyond. If
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the Zamzamim hold that territory, Israel is exposed on its flank.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Every military campaign, every retreat, every future king who would
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: need that eastern border secure, all of it depends on
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Ammon being clear, and that border would be tested. When
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: David's own son Absalom launched his rebellion and David fled
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Jerusalem for his life, he fled east, across the Jordan,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: into the territory beyond Ammon, where loyal allies sheltered him
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: until he could reclaim his throne. If the Zamzumim still
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: held that ground, David has no escape route. The king
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: through whom the Messiah would come dies in a coup,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: and the line ends. Deuteronomy 2.21 The Lord destroyed them
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: before the Ammonites, who drove them out and settled in
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: their place. God cleared the eastern flank before Israel even
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: entered the land. He was securing escape routes and supply
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: lines for battles that would not be fought for centuries.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: He was preparing the battlefield generations in advance. The fourth clan,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the most dangerous of all, the Anakim. The name may
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: mean the long-necked ones. They were descendants of a man
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: named Anak, who was the son of Arba, described in
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Joshua 14.15 as the greatest man among the Anakites. Arba
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: founded a city in the hill country of Judah and
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: named it after himself, Kiriath Arba, the city of Arba.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: You know it by the name it would carry after
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: his dynasty was destroyed, Hebron. Hebron is sacred ground. It
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: is where Abraham pitched his tent and received the covenant
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: promise from God himself. It is where Sarah was buried.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: It is where Abraham purchased the cave of Machpelah, the
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: first piece of the promised land any Israelite ever owned.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: And centuries later, Hebron is where David was first anointed
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: king over Judah. He reigned there for seven and a
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: half years before moving to Jerusalem. Hebron is the origin
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: point of God's covenant, the burial ground of the patriarchs,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: and the first throne of the Messianic king. The Anakim
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: were sitting on it. Three sons of Anak ruled the city, Sheshai, Ahiman,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: and Talmai. Three names that would haunt the people of
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Israel for 45 years. Three giants standing on the foundation
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: stone of God's entire redemptive plan. Every giant clan in
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: the Bible was positioned on a Messianic pressure point, Ruth's road,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the temple ground, David's escape route, the covenant city. This
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: was not random migration. This was not coincidence. This was
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: a strategic blockade engineered by an enemy who had read
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Genesis 3.15, who knew the promise, who understood the line,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and who placed his strongest pieces on every square that
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: line would need to cross. God showed Israel the full map.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: every clan, every position, every threat. And then he said,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: go take it. He sent 12 men in first to
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: see the enemy with their own eyes. And what those
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: men saw split them straight down the middle. Numbers 13.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Moses selects 12 men, one from each tribe. Their orders
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: cross into Canaan. Spend 40 days. Assess the land, the people,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the cities, the defenses. Come back and tell us what
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: is waiting. They returned carrying evidence. A single cluster of
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: grapes so massive it required two grown men to carry
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: it on a pole between their shoulders. Pomegranates. Figs. The
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: land was everything God had promised, flowing with milk and honey.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: The soil was rich. The harvest was abundant. The inheritance
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: was real, and it was extraordinary. And then one word
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: destroyed a generation. But... Numbers 13, 28. But the people
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Then verse 31. We cannot attack those people. They are
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: stronger than we are. And verse 33. The verse that
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: would echo for the next 400 years of Israel's history.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: We saw the Nephilim there. The descendants of Anak come
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: from the Nephilim. We seemed like grasshoppers in our own
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: eyes and we looked the same to them. The Bible
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: does not call this a report. It calls it Diba,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: the Hebrew word for slander, not fear, not a miscalculation, slander.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: These men did not simply lose courage. They lied about
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: what God had promised. They told 3 million people that
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: God had led them into the wilderness to die. Every
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: fact they stated was accurate. The giants were real, the
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: cities were fortified, the Anakim were tall. But their conclusion
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: was a lie. We cannot. Because God had already said,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: you can. And calling God's promise impossible is not caution.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: It is defamation. Two men saw the same giants, walked
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the same valleys, surveyed the same fortified walls, and and
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: reached the opposite conclusion. Caleb silenced the crowd. Numbers 13.30
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: We should go up and take possession of the land,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: for we can certainly do it. Joshua stood beside him.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Numbers 14.9 Their protection has departed from them. The Lord
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: is with us. Do not be afraid of them. The
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Hebrew word translated protection is tzilam, their shadow, their covering,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: their divine shield. Whatever spiritual authority had been shielding these
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: giants was already withdrawn. Caleb and Joshua were reading the
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: battlefield with intelligence the other ten refused to see. The
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: giants were real. Their covering was not. They were exposed, unprotected, and,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: in Caleb's assessment, bred for Israel. Ten men measured the
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: giants against themselves and saw grasshoppers. Two men measured the
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: same giants against God and saw bread. The people chose
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: the majority. They wept through the night. They spoke of
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: returning to Egypt. They nearly stoned the two men who
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: told the truth. God's response was absolute. Numbers 14.29 In
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: this wilderness your bodies will fall, every one of you
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: twenty years old or more who was counted in the
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: census and who has grumbled against me. Forty years of wandering.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: One year, for each day, the spies explored. An entire
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: generation sentenced to die in the desert because they believed
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: the giants were bigger than God. But to Caleb, God
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: made a promise. Because my servant Caleb has a different
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Caleb was forty years old when he made that stand.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: he would wait 45 more years to collect what God
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: had promised. He walked circles in that wilderness while every
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: man who said, we cannot, was buried in the sand
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: around him, one by one, year after year, an entire
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: generation dissolving into desert graves while Caleb kept walking, kept believing,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: kept waiting. And when the last of them was gone,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: When the wilderness had swallowed everyone who refused to trust God,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Caleb was still alive, still strong, still ready. And now, finally,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: it was his turn. Joshua crossed the Jordan. The conquest
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: of Canaan began, and it was systematic. Jericho fell. Ai fell.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: The southern campaign swept through the lowlands, the northern campaign followed,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and through it all, Joshua turned his attention to the
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: enemy that had haunted Israel. Since the day, the spies
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: came back, terrified. The Anakim. Joshua 1121. At that time,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Joshua went and destroyed the Anakites from the hill country,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: from Hebron, Debir, and Anab, from all the hill country
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Joshua totally destroyed them and their towns, city by city,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: clan by clan. The giants that had paralyzed a nation
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: for forty years were being hunted down and eliminated. Hebron, Debir, Anab,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: the hill country of Judah, the hill country of Israel.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Joshua cut them all down. And then, one sentence, verse 22,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: a detail that most readers glance past without pausing. But
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: this sentence is the hinge that connects everything that has
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: happened to everything that is about to happen. Joshua 11.22
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: No Anakites were left in Israelite territory. Only in Gaza, Gath,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: and Ashdod did any survive. Gaza, Gath, Ashdod. Three Philistine
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: cities beyond the reach of Joshua's campaign, the Anakim remnant
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: fled to the one territory Israel had not yet conquered.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: They found refuge among the enemies of God's people. File
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: that verse. It will come back in 400 years. But
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: before we reach the valley where the last giant falls...
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: There is a moment in Joshua chapter 14 that most
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: people have never truly heard, and it is the emotional
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: heart of this entire story. Joshua is dividing the conquered land.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: The tribes are receiving their inheritance. Territories are being allocated.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: And in the middle of this administrative process, an 85-year-old
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: man steps forward. He does not ask for rest. He
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: does not request a gentle valley where the fighting is
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: finished and the soil is easy. He does not say
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: what any reasonable person his age would say. I have
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: done enough. I am old. Give me peace. Let the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: young men take what is left. Caleb walks up to Joshua,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: his old companion, the only other man from their generation
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: still breathing, the only other spy who refused to be afraid,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: and he asks for war. I was 40 years old
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. And I brought him
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: back a report according to my convictions, but my fellow
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Israelites who went up with me made the hearts of
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: the people melt in fear. I, however, followed the Lord
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: my God wholeheartedly. He is 85. He has waited 45 years.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: He has walked through a wilderness that buried an entire
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: generation around him, and his voice does not waver. I
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: am still as strong today as the day Moses sent
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: me out. My strength now is as my strength was then,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: for war and for going and coming. Now give me
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: this hill country that the Lord promised me that day.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there, and
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: their cities were large and fortified. But the Lord helping me,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I will drive them out just as he said. Give
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: me this mountain, the mountain Hebron, Kiriath Arba, the city
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: founded by the greatest of the Anakim. The stronghold where Sheshai, Ahimon,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and Talmai still ruled behind fortified walls. The exact place
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: that broke ten spies and sentenced a generation to death.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: The mountain that had stood between Israel and the promise
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: for nearly half a century. Caleb had been looking at
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: that mountain for 45 years. He saw it as a
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: 40-year-old spy, and his faith held when everyone else's shattered.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: He watched three million people condemned because they feared what
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: was on that mountain. He buried every last one of
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: them in the sand. And now, at 85 years old,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: he walked up to Joshua, pointed at the most dangerous
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: stronghold in all of Canaan, and said, That mountain is mine.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I have been waiting my entire life to take it.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Joshua granted the request. Joshua 15.14 From Hebron, Caleb drove
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: out the three Anakites, Shishai, Ahaman, and Talmai, descendants of Anak.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Three names, three giants, one 85-year-old man. He took the
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: city that terrified a nation. He drove out the sons
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: of Anak, and he renamed it Hebron. Years later, that
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: city would become something else entirely. When David was anointed king,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: he did not go first to Jerusalem. His first throne
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: was in Hebron. The stronghold that Caleb ripped from the
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: hands of the Anakim became the first capital of the
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Messianic dynasty. Caleb did not simply win a battle. He
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: cleared the ground for a kingdom. He secured the throne
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: that the ancestor of Jesus Christ would sit on. After Hebron,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Caleb marched on Debir, formerly Kiriath Sefer, the city of
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: the book. He offered his daughter Aksa in marriage to
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: whoever could take it. A young warrior named Othniel accepted
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: the challenge, conquered the city, married Aksa, and would later
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: become the first judge of Israel. The campaign against the
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: giants was not only destroying an enemy, it was forging
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: the leaders who would govern the nation for the next
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: four centuries. Joshua and Caleb cleared the hill country. The
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Anakim were gone from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab. But
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Joshua 1122 had already recorded the exception, the footnote that
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: changes everything. Only in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod did any survive.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: The Anakim remnant escaped to Philistia, to cities Israel had
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: not reached, and from one of those cities, Gath, Four
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: hundred years of silence would end with a single voice
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: echoing across a valley, nine feet tall, covered in bronze,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: daring anyone in Israel to come and face him. 1
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Samuel 17. The Valley of Elah. Two armies on opposing ridges,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Israel on one side, the Philistine on the other, and
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: between them, in the open ground where the fate of
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: nations would be decided by single combat, one man, from Gath.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: That name should now carry weight. Gath. One of the
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: three cities listed in Joshua 11.22. the city where the
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Anakim remnants survived when Joshua cleared the hill country, the
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: city where the descendants of the beings that caused the
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: flood found their last refuge, Goliath, six cubits and a span,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: nine feet, nine inches of bone, muscle, and malice, a
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: bronze helmet, a coat of bronze mail weighing five thousand shekels,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Roughly 125 pounds of armor across his torso alone. Bronze
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: greaves protecting his legs. A bronze javelin slung on his back.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: His spear had an iron tip weighing 600 shekels and
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: a shaft described as being like a weaver's beam. A
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: shield-bearer walked before him carrying a shield large enough to
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: cover a normal man entirely. He stepped into the valley
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: and challenged Israel. morning and evening, for forty days, the
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: number of testing, the same forty days the spies spent
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: in Canaan, the same forty years Israel wandered in the wilderness,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: forty days of a giant's voice echoing between the hills,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: and not one soldier in Saul's entire army moved to
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: answer him. Then a teenager arrived, carrying bread and cheese
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: for his brothers. David had no armor, no military rank,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: no formal combat training, no sword. He had grown up
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: in fields, guarding sheep from predators with a sling and
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: a staff. And when he heard the giant's challenge, the
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: same species of challenge that had broken ten spies and
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: paralyzed a king, he asked a question that revealed everything
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: about his character in a single breath. Who is this
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: living God? Saul offered his royal armor. David tried it on,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: took it off. It did not fit him, He walked
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: to a nearby stream and selected five smooth stones. He
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: placed them in his shepherd's bag, took his sling in
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: his hand, and walked down the slope into the valley.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Goliath looked at the boy approaching him and was insulted.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Am I a dog that you come at me with sticks?
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: David's answer carried the weight of 2,500 years of war.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: You come against me with sword and spear and javelin.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: BUT I COME AGAINST YOU IN THE NAME OF THE
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: LORD ALMIGHTY, THE GOD OF THE ARMIES OF ISRAEL, WHOM
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: YOU HAVE DEFIED. ONE STONE THE FOREHEAD THE GIANT FELL
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: FACE FIRST INTO THE DIRT. DAVID RAN TO THE BODY,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: DREW GOLIATH'S OWN SWORD FROM ITS SHEATH, AND CUT OFF
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: THE GIANT'S HEAD WITH HIS OWN BLADE. THE DESCENDANT OF
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: THE BEINGS THAT CAUSED THE FLOOD, KILLED BY A SHEPHERD BOY,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: CARRYING FIVE STONES, AND A GOD WHO HAD NEVER LOST
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: A WAR, BUT THE WAR WAS NOT OVER. Not yet.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Late in David's reign, decades after Goliath fell in the
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Valley of Elah, four more giants surfaced from the same city. Gath.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: 2 Samuel. Chapter 21 records them one by one, like
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: a detective closing case files at the end of a
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: long investigation. Ishbi Benab. He carried a new sword and
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: a bronze spear and intended to kill David himself. But
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: David was old now, weary from decades of war. Abishai,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: son of Zeruiah, intercepted the giant and struck him down.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: After that battle, David's men made a decision. Never again
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: will you go out with us to battle, so that
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: the lamp of Israel will not be extinguished. The boy
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: who killed Goliath as a teenager was now too old
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: to face the giants, but his men were not. Saf,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: also called Sipai, a descendant of Rapha, Sibachai, the Hushathite,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: killed him, Lami, the brother of Goliath. He carried a
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: spear with a shaft like a weaver's beam, the identical
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: description given to his brother's weapon. Elhanan's son of Jair
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: killed him, and one unnamed giant. No name recorded, but
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: a recorded abnormality. Six fingers on each hand, six toes
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: on each foot. Twenty-four digits. He stood before Israel and
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: taunted them, as his kind had always done. Jonathan, son
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: of David's brother Shimea, killed him. 2 Samuel 21-22 These
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: four were descendants of Rapha and Gath, and they fell
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: at the hands of David and his men. Rapha, the Rephaim,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: the giant bloodline that had plagued humanity since Genesis 6.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: David's mighty men, the company of broken men, who had
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: gathered around him in the cave of Adullam when he
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: was a fugitive, men described in 1 Samuel 22 as
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: being in distress, in debt, and discontented. These rejects, these outcasts,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: these men that the nation had thrown away, hunted down
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: the last four giants of the ancient bloodline. The men
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: nobody wanted finished the war nobody else could finish. After
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: 2 Samuel 21, there are no more giants in Scripture,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: not one. The bloodline that began with fallen angels on
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: a mountaintop, that survived the flood, spread across Canaan, broke
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the faith of ten spies, cost a generation their future,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: occupied the covenant city, and fled to Philistia for its
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: last stand, is extinct. Every single one of them is dead.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: And the messianic line, the one Satan spent millennia trying
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: to corrupt and destroy, continued, unbroken, uncontaminated. Undefeated from Adam
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: to Noah, from Noah to Abraham, from Abraham to Judah,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: from Judah to David, and from David through the city
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: of Bethlehem, through a young woman named Mary, through a
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: manger and a star and a promise that no angel,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: no giant, no strategy of hell could ever prevent. The
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: child was born. The seed of the woman. Exactly as
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: God said he would be. Step back. Look at the
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: full arc of this war and see the pattern that
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: holds it together. Because it is the same pattern every
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: single time, and it has never once changed. God always
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: sends the weakest to destroy the strongest. Noah, a farmer
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: with no army, no weapons, no allies, against the entire
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: corrupted world. God did not send a general. He sent
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: a man who could build a boat and trust a promise. Moses,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: 80 years old, a stutterer who stood before the burning
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: bush and begged God to send someone else, against Og
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: of Bashan, the last giant king, east of the Jordan,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: whose iron bed measured 13 and a half feet long.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: The man who could not speak conquered the biggest king
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: on the map. Caleb, 85 years old, older than every
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: fighting man in the entire Israelite camp. against the Anakim
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: stronghold at Hebron that had broken the faith of an
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: entire generation. The oldest soldier on the field requested the
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: hardest assignment in the entire conquest, and took it. David,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: a teenager with no armor, no rank, no sword, no
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: military credential of any kind, against a nine-foot champion armored
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: in bronze with a spear like a weaver's beam. The
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: smallest person in the valley killed the biggest. David's mighty men,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: former outlaws, refugees, debtors, men in distress and discontent who
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: had nowhere else to go, against the last four descendants
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: of the ancient giant race. The men nobody wanted finished
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: the war that nobody else could win. This is not coincidence.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: This is not narrative convenience. This is theology. 1 Corinthians
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: 1 27 God chose the foolish things of the world
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: to shame the wise. God chose the weak things of
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: the world to shame the strong. And there is one
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: final detail, one geographic marker that closes this entire story
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: with the kind of precision that only God could design.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: The war began at Mount Hermon. That is where the
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: 200 watchers descended. That is where they swore their oath.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: That is where the rebellion was launched that would corrupt
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: the human race and provoke the judgment of God. Mount Hermon,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: whose name comes from Sherem, devoted to destruction. The northern
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: border of the Promised Land, the staging ground for every
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: giant that would ever walk the earth. Centuries later, after
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: the Flood, after Moses, after Joshua, after Caleb, after David
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: and his mighty men had hunted down every last descendant
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: of that rebellion. Jesus of Nazareth took his disciples on
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: a journey north, past Galilee, past the familiar towns and synagogues,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: all the way to a Roman city built at the
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: base of Mount Hermon called Caesarea Philippi. In that era,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: it was a center of pagan worship. Temples to pan,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: shrines to foreign gods, and carved into the rock face,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: a massive cave that the pagans called the Gates of Hades.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: An entrance to the gates of Hades the underworld a
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: symbol of death and darkness and everything that opposed the
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: kingdom of god jesus stood there at the foot of
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: the mountain where the invasion began in front of a
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: cave the ancient world called the gateway to hell and
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: he spoke six words that closed a war spanning the
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: entire Old Testament. The gates of Hades will not overcome it.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: He declared victory where the enemy declared war. The mountain
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: where the fallen angels launched their assault on the human
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: race is the mountain where the Son of God announced
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: that their assault had failed. The geographic bookend is not
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: a coincidence. It is God's signature written across the landscape
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: of redemptive history. Everything you have just heard is not
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: ancient history. It is a mirror. The physical giants are dead.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Goliath is buried. The Anakim are gone. But the strategy
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: that placed them on the map has never changed. Satan
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: still operates the exact same way. When God gives you
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: a promise, when he calls you to a territory, a purpose,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: a family line, a ministry, the enemy does not fight
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: you everywhere. He is surgical. He places a giant right
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: on the road you have to walk. Look at your
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: own life. What is standing between you and the thing
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: God has promised? Is it a habit that feels 13
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: feet tall? Is it an addiction with a spear like
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: a weaver's beam? Is it a generational curse that has
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: held your family's territory for 40 years? Is it fear?
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: You have looked at whatever is standing in your way,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: and you have whispered the exact same words the ten
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: spies whispered. I cannot attack this. It is stronger than
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: I am. I am a grasshopper, and it is a giant.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: You have disqualified yourself because you feel weak, because you
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: don't have the armor, because you don't have the royal training.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: You look at the mountain, you look at yourself, and
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: you walk away. But look at the map. Look at
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: the people God actually used to win this war. A farmer,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: an 80-year-old stutterer, an 85-year-old man, a teenager carrying cheese,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: a band of outcasts in debt and distress. God has never,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: in the entire history of this war, sent the strongest
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: person in the room. Your weakness is not a disqualification.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: It is the exact material God uses to build a victory.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: The enemy wants you to measure the giant against yourself.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: That is how you lose. God wants you to measure
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: the giant against him. That is how you take the mountain.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: The war that angels started on a mountaintop, a shepherd
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: boy finished in a valley, and the God who hunted
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: the Nephilim across 2,500 years of human history is the
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: exact same God who is standing beside you right now.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: He doesn't need you to be strong enough. He just
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: needs you to pick up the stone. He needs you
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: to look at the addiction, the fear, the generational curse
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: that everyone else is running from, and say exactly what
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: an 85-year-old man said, Give me this mountain. And the
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: giant falls. Every single time. If this shifted how you
