NOW WE GO TO THE WORD
00:00:13.53\00:00:24.50
OF GOD, AND TONIGHT WE
LOOK AT JUDGES, CHAPTER 16, AND
00:00:24.50\00:00:29.66
I ONLY NEED ONE VERSE.
00:00:29.66\00:00:31.36
IN FACT, WHEN YOU READ IT THERE
WILL BE NO DOUBT IN YOUR MIND:
00:00:31.36\00:00:36.63
JUDGES, CHAPTER 16 AND VERSE 20.
00:00:37.53\00:00:41.06
AND HERE IS WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS:
"AND SHE SAID, THE PHILISTINES
00:00:41.06\00:00:46.43
BE UPON THE, SAMSON.
00:00:46.43\00:00:49.93
AND HE AWOKE OUT OF HIS SLEEP
AND SAID, 'I WILL GO OUT AS
00:00:49.93\00:00:54.23
OTHER TIMES BEFORE AND SHAKE
MYSELF,' AND HE WIST NOT THAT
00:00:54.23\00:01:01.33
THE LORD WAS DEPARTED FROM HIM."
00:01:01.33\00:01:04.96
I'VE ENTITLED THIS
TONIGHT HANGING BY A THREAD.
00:01:05.70\00:01:10.63
WOULD YOU PRAY WITH ME ?
00:01:10.63\00:01:12.83
FATHER IN HEAVEN WE DARE
NOT OPEN THE WORD OF GOD WITHOUT
00:01:12.83\00:01:17.16
THE POWER OF JESUS CHRIST AND
THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:01:17.16\00:01:22.93
SO FATHER, SEND
NOW ALL THAT WE NEED.
00:01:22.93\00:01:27.63
SEND NOW THE VOICE OF
JESUS CHRIST AMPLIFIED BY THE
00:01:27.63\00:01:32.26
POWER OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT.
00:01:32.26\00:01:35.06
I PRAY, FATHER, THAT
NOTHING IN ME SHALL HINDER WHAT
00:01:35.06\00:01:39.80
JESUS HAS TO SAY.
00:01:39.80\00:01:41.23
LET US LEAVE CONVINCED THAT WE
HAVE HEARD THE VOICE OF JESUS,
00:01:41.23\00:01:46.83
FOR WE PRAY IN HIS NAME, AMEN.
00:01:46.83\00:01:51.23
THERE IS THIS MAN NAMED SAMSON.
00:01:51.23\00:01:56.46
I LOVE TO PREACH ABOUT
HIM BECAUSE HE IS STRONG.
00:01:56.46\00:02:01.46
IN FACT, I LEARNED JUST
THIS WEEK THAT IN THE SHADES OF
00:02:01.46\00:02:06.23
MEANING OF HIS NAME, IT EVEN
SUGGESTS THAT HE IS HANDSOME.
00:02:06.23\00:02:13.13
MORE THAN MUSCULAR, BUT
THE WAY HIS BODY IS BUILT IS
00:02:13.13\00:02:19.30
ACCENTUATED BY HIS WINSOMENESS.
00:02:19.30\00:02:24.46
I WOULD BE SUGGEST TO
YOU THAT HE WOULD BE ONE THAT
00:02:24.46\00:02:26.43
EVERYBODY WOULD LOVE TO SEE.
00:02:26.43\00:02:29.03
THERE ARE MEN WHO
MEN FIND ENCOURAGING.
00:02:29.60\00:02:36.23
THEY ARE SO POWERFULLY
BUILT THAT EVEN MEN SAY, "AH HA,
00:02:36.23\00:02:39.63
MAYBE I CAN BE LIKE THAT."
00:02:39.63\00:02:42.80
AND I HAVE LEARNED-I DIDN'T KNOW
UNTIL I HAD A DAUGHTER THAT YOU
00:02:43.40\00:02:48.26
LADIES SAY THINGS LIKE YOU SAY.
00:02:48.26\00:02:52.36
IN FACT, I'VE COME TO BELIEVE
THAT WHEN A VERY HANDSOME MAN
00:02:52.36\00:02:56.80
ENTERS A GROUP, IF HE IS BEYOND
ORDINARY, WOMEN DON'T SAY MUCH
00:02:56.80\00:03:05.40
BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT
TO SHARE WHAT THEY'VE SEEN.
00:03:05.40\00:03:11.96
I IMAGINE WHAT MIGHT
HAVE BEEN SAID IF SAMSON HAD
00:03:11.96\00:03:15.43
COME TO THE PLACE.
00:03:15.43\00:03:16.63
SAMSON WAS CALLED
BEFORE HE WAS BORN.
00:03:16.63\00:03:21.60
JESUS, THE ANGEL WHO
WAS THE LORD, IS THE ONE WHO
00:03:21.60\00:03:26.43
CAME TO HIS MOTHER AND
THEN TO HIS FATHER AND SAID,
00:03:26.43\00:03:30.66
"THIS IS WHAT YOU MUST DO."
00:03:30.66\00:03:32.50
TOLD THE MOTHER, "YOU
HAVE GOT TO EAT THE RIGHT THING
00:03:32.50\00:03:37.26
AND DO THE RIGHT THING."
00:03:37.26\00:03:38.76
SOME OF US FORGET THAT CHILDREN
ARE FORMED IN THEIR MOTHER'S
00:03:38.76\00:03:42.50
WOMB WITH THE TRAITS
THAT WE PASS ALONG TO THEM.
00:03:42.50\00:03:47.16
AND SO EVEN BEFORE HE WAS
BORN, HIS MOTHER WAS INSTRUCTED,
00:03:47.16\00:03:50.86
"DON'T EAT ANYTHING UNCLEAN,
DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING THAT
00:03:50.86\00:03:53.63
IS FROM THE GRAPE.
00:03:53.63\00:03:55.00
YOU MUST LIVE IN A WAY
THAT'S ALMOST LIKE A NAZARITE,
00:03:55.00\00:04:00.06
BECAUSE YOUR SON IS CALLED
FROM THE WOMB TO BE A NAZARITE,
00:04:00.06\00:04:04.20
AND WHEN HE COMES HE
WILL BEGIN TO DELIVER ISRAEL.
00:04:04.20\00:04:09.00
UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN YOU THINK
THAT HOPE IS LOST, AND THERE
00:04:09.00\00:04:14.20
ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE ALWAYS
BELIEVING THAT THERE IS NO HOPE.
00:04:14.20\00:04:18.30
I AM NOT ONE OF YOU.
00:04:18.30\00:04:20.43
IN FACT, I WILL TALK TO YOU
FOR A MINUTE, BUT NOT MUCH MORE,
00:04:20.43\00:04:25.93
BECAUSE I FIND MYSELF
PULLED DOWN BY PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS
00:04:25.93\00:04:29.90
THINK THAT GOD HAS FORGOTTEN.
00:04:29.90\00:04:33.50
GOD NEVER FORGETS, AND
WHEN YOU DON'T THINK HE HAS A
00:04:33.50\00:04:37.30
PLAN, THERE'S A PLAN
IN THE MAKING RIGHT THERE.
00:04:37.30\00:04:42.06
THE PEOPLE OF THIS TIME WERE
SO CAUGHT-40 YEARS UNDER THE
00:04:42.06\00:04:46.63
PHILISTINES POWER, AND
YET, GOD HAD BROUGHT THIS YOUNG
00:04:46.63\00:04:51.76
MAN--HE WAS BEING BORN
AND REARED RIGHT AMONG THEM.
00:04:51.76\00:04:56.03
HE HAD THE POWER TO
BEGIN TO DELIVER THEM.
00:04:56.03\00:04:59.66
GOD HAD MADE HIM SO.
00:04:59.66\00:05:01.40
WHEN GOD MAKES YOU
STRONG, YOU'RE STRONG.
00:05:01.40\00:05:05.00
THAT'S WHY I WISH WE
COULD GET OUR EYES ON IT.
00:05:05.00\00:05:08.23
HANDSOME, YES, POWERFULLY
BUILT--I WONDER WHAT HE DID
00:05:08.23\00:05:12.96
WHEN HE WAS A LITTLE BOY.
00:05:12.96\00:05:14.90
I WONDER WHAT ARE SOME OF
THE THINGS THAT GAVE HIS PARENTS
00:05:14.90\00:05:18.30
THE HINT THAT GOD WAS
INDEED TRUE IN WHAT HE SAID.
00:05:18.30\00:05:22.43
DID HE PICK UP THINGS
THAT BABIES COULDN'T PICK UP ?
00:05:22.43\00:05:28.83
WHEN HE WAS A TEEN, DID
HE HAVE POWER THAT EVEN MADE
00:05:28.83\00:05:33.86
HIS PARENTS WONDER ?
00:05:33.86\00:05:36.06
THERE ARE SCHOLARS WHO BELIEVE
THAT THE TRIBE OF DAN WOULD PUT
00:05:36.06\00:05:40.70
TOGETHER LITTLE GROUPS TO TRY
AND BATTLE THE PHILISTINES AND
00:05:40.70\00:05:44.40
THEY BELIEVED THAT SAMSON, EVEN
IN HIS YOUTH, WAS PART OF THOSE
00:05:44.40\00:05:48.00
BANDS THAT TRIED TO RESIST.
00:05:48.00\00:05:50.86
I WONDER WHAT DID SAMSON DO ?
00:05:50.86\00:05:52.80
COULD HE GO SOMETIMES AND TAKE
HOLD OF ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE OF
00:05:52.80\00:05:56.80
THE PHILISTINES, AND GRAB THEM
AT ONE TIME AND SQUEEZE THEM
00:05:56.80\00:06:00.36
TOGETHER AND SAY, "GOOD MORNING.
00:06:00.36\00:06:04.93
HOW ARE YOU ?"
00:06:04.93\00:06:06.23
REMEMBER, HE
WASN'T AFRAID OF THEM.
00:06:06.23\00:06:08.23
HE HAD LOOKED DOWN
FROM HIS HOME, WHICH WAS
00:06:08.23\00:06:10.96
JUST ABOVE TIMNATH.
00:06:10.96\00:06:12.66
IN FACT, HIS BLESSING
AND HIS CURSE WAS THAT HE WAS
00:06:12.66\00:06:16.96
FAMILIAR WITH THESE ENEMIES.
00:06:16.96\00:06:20.16
AND YOU'VE GOTTO BE CAREFUL
WHEN YOUR ENEMIES ARE CLOSE BY.
00:06:20.16\00:06:23.90
DON'T HAVE A LONG TIME TO TALK
ABOUT IT, BUT I WILL WARN YOU
00:06:23.90\00:06:27.00
THAT TOO MUCH FAMILIARITY
WITH THE ENEMY IS NOT GOOD.
00:06:27.00\00:06:31.50
YOU MUST WATCH WHAT THEY
DO, BUT YOU MUST BE AWARE
00:06:31.50\00:06:35.16
OF THE DANGERS.
00:06:35.16\00:06:36.93
SAMSON LOOKED DOWN AND SAW VERY
FEW THINGS THAT FRIGHTENED HIM.
00:06:36.93\00:06:41.90
AND BECAUSE HE DID HE
MINGLED FREELY WITH THEM.
00:06:41.90\00:06:45.40
HIS HOME WAS JUST ABOVE THEM
AND HE COULD GO DOWN TO TIMNATH.
00:06:45.40\00:06:49.83
AND EVENTUALLY,
YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
00:06:49.83\00:06:53.26
AMONG THE YOUNG LADIES IN
TIMNATH--I HAVE NO REASON TO
00:06:53.26\00:06:57.60
KNOW WHAT THEY LOOKED
LIKE, BUT I'VE DISCOVERED THAT
00:06:57.60\00:07:01.70
ROMANCE DOES NOT DEVELOP
BASED ON APPEARANCE ALONE.
00:07:01.70\00:07:07.63
THERE ARE YOUNG LADIES
WHO DON'T APPEAR TO ME TO BE
00:07:07.63\00:07:10.76
ATTRACTIVE, BUT THERE'S
ALWAYS SOME MAN CHASING THEM.
00:07:10.76\00:07:16.50
I SCRATCH MY HEAD
FROM TIME TO TIME.
00:07:16.50\00:07:21.36
THERE ARE YOUNG MEN
WHO BARELY LOOK LIKE
00:07:21.36\00:07:24.63
THEY CAN MAKE IT TO ME.
00:07:24.63\00:07:28.40
BUT EVERYWHERE THEY
GO THERE ARE 10-12 WOMEN
00:07:28.40\00:07:30.80
FOLLOWING BEHIND THEM.
00:07:30.80\00:07:33.06
SO EVIDENTLY IT'S NOT BASED ON
WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE; THERE MUST
00:07:33.06\00:07:36.00
BE SOME OTHER MAGNETISMS THAT
ARE AT WORK THERE, BUT SOMEHOW
00:07:36.00\00:07:41.86
SAMSON GOES DOWN, FORGETS ALL
THE WOMEN WHERE HE LIVES--I'VE
00:07:41.86\00:07:47.23
GOT TO TOUCH THAT
BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE TOUCHED.
00:07:47.23\00:07:53.20
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE
WHO CAN'T SEE THE BEAUTY OF
00:07:53.20\00:07:56.36
FOLKS IN GOD'S HOUSE.
00:07:56.36\00:08:01.46
I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
00:08:01.46\00:08:02.43
SOMEBODY FROM OUTSIDE COMES
IN AND THE WHOLE PLACE IS ASTIR.
00:08:02.43\00:08:09.40
WELL, WHAT I'VE LEARNED
IS THAT THE BEAUTY THAT GOD
00:08:09.40\00:08:11.60
GIVES YOU DOES NOT VANISH.
00:08:11.60\00:08:15.23
THERE ARE PEOPLE NOW, MEN AND
WOMEN, WHO HAVE LEARNED TO MAKE
00:08:15.23\00:08:18.60
THEMSELVES MORE ATTRACTIVE
WITH THINGS THAT COME IN JARS.
00:08:18.60\00:08:27.73
YOU'VE SEEN ALL THE SHOWS.
00:08:27.73\00:08:28.83
THEE ARE DOCTORS WHO CAN
PLAY WITH YOUR PHYSIOGRAMMY AND
00:08:28.83\00:08:34.03
DO THINGS WITH YOUR FACE
AND YOUR FORM AND MAKE YOU LOOK
00:08:34.03\00:08:37.70
BETTER THAN YOU DID BEFORE.
00:08:37.70\00:08:39.73
HOWEVER, THEY SAY THAT
EVENTUALLY GRAVITY STILL WINS.
00:08:39.73\00:08:48.06
WHAT I'VE DISCOVERED IS
THAT IF GOD MAKES YOU LOOK
00:08:48.06\00:08:50.76
GOOD, AND I PROMISE YOU
I HAVE SEEN IT, I THANK GOD
00:08:50.76\00:08:54.30
FOR BEING AN EVANGELIST.
00:08:54.30\00:08:56.13
I HAVE TRAVELED ALL AROUND
THE WORLD, I HAVE PREACHED
00:08:56.13\00:08:58.23
TO PEOPLE WHO CAME TO
HEAR THE WORD OF GOD UGLY.
00:08:58.23\00:09:06.16
BUT I SAT THERE AND WATCHED
THEM AS GOD BEGAN TO MAKE
00:09:06.16\00:09:10.56
THEM LOOK BETTER.
00:09:10.56\00:09:12.73
I'VE SEEN MEN WITH BLOODSHOT
EYES AND YELLOW TEETH, THEY'RE
00:09:12.73\00:09:15.30
BENT OVER, THEY LOOK LIKE THEY
COULD BARELY WALK, BUT AS THEY
00:09:15.30\00:09:19.90
OPENED UP THE WORD OF GOD,
GOD TOUCHED THEM, STRAIGHTENED
00:09:19.90\00:09:24.00
THEM UP, CLEARED THEIR EYES,
BRIGHTENED THEIR TEETH, PUT
00:09:24.00\00:09:30.10
A NEW BOUNCE IN THEIR STEP.
00:09:30.10\00:09:34.36
I WOULD SAY THAT IF YOU ARE
A MAN WHO WANTS TO LOOK BETTER
00:09:34.36\00:09:37.63
BEFORE YOU GO TO THE PLASTIC
SURGEON, OPEN UP THE WORD OF GOD
00:09:37.63\00:09:41.96
AND SEE WHAT GOD CAN DO FOR YOU.
00:09:41.96\00:09:44.70
YOUNG LADY, BEFORE YOU GO
PUTTING THINGS ON AND CHANGING
00:09:44.70\00:09:48.26
THINGS AROUND, LET
JESUS COME INTO YOUR HEART.
00:09:48.26\00:09:51.86
HE'S GOT A WAY OF
CHANGING YOU FROM THE INSIDE.
00:09:51.86\00:09:55.33
IN FACT, I'VE SEEN LADIES WHO
HAVE GROWN OLD IN THE CHURCH AND
00:09:55.33\00:09:58.53
EVEN AFTER THEY ARE GRAY
AND WRINKLED, GOD ARRANGES THEIR
00:09:58.53\00:10:02.93
GRAY HAIR AND PUTS THEIR
WRINKLES IN THE RIGHT PLACE
00:10:02.93\00:10:06.43
SO THAT THEY'RE STILL PRETTY.
00:10:06.43\00:10:09.86
ONLY GOD CAN DO THAT.
00:10:09.86\00:10:12.23
SAMSON GOES DOWN, IGNORING ALL
THE WOMEN OF HIS TRIBE AND ALL
00:10:12.23\00:10:16.00
THE WOMEN WHO LOVE JEHOVAH,
AND HE'S DOWN IN TIMNATH.
00:10:16.00\00:10:23.16
BE CAREFUL IN TIMNATH.
00:10:23.16\00:10:26.63
YOU DON'T KNOW WHO
YOU'RE LOOKING AT IN TIMNATH.
00:10:26.63\00:10:30.50
AND HE SEES A WOMAN
WHO CAPTURES HIS FANCY.
00:10:30.50\00:10:35.13
HE GOES BACK TO HIS
PARENTS--I APPLAUD HIS PARENTS.
00:10:35.13\00:10:39.30
THEY SAID TO HIM,
"HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN ANYBODY
00:10:39.30\00:10:42.83
IN OUR OWN PLACE HERE ?
00:10:42.83\00:10:45.16
HAVE YOU
OVERLOOKED EVERYBODY HERE ?"
00:10:45.16\00:10:47.43
YOU KNOW I USED TO TELL
MY CHILDREN WHEN THEY WERE
00:10:47.43\00:10:50.10
CHILDREN--I'M TECHNICALLY OUT
OF THE PARENTING BUSINESS NOW.
00:10:50.10\00:10:54.83
MY CHILDREN HAVE
REACHED THE AGE OF MAJORITY.
00:10:54.83\00:10:56.93
THE ONLY THING I CAN DO
NOW IS GIVE COUNSEL AND GIVE
00:10:56.93\00:10:59.70
IT QUIETLY AND HUMBLY.
00:10:59.70\00:11:02.36
BUT IN THE DAYS WHEN I HAD
AUTHORITY OVER THEM, I USED
00:11:02.36\00:11:04.73
TO TELL THEM, "WHEN YOU GO
TO CHOOSE SOMEBODY, IF YOU'VE
00:11:04.73\00:11:07.50
GOT TO CHOOSE BETWEEN SOMEBODY
WHO IS WONDERFULLY MADE AND
00:11:07.50\00:11:12.66
SOMEBODY WHO LOVES JESUS,
BRING SOMEBODY PLAIN WHO LOVES
00:11:12.66\00:11:17.03
JESUS, BECAUSE THE WAY THEY
LOOK WILL IMPROVE OVER TIME."
00:11:17.03\00:11:23.96
I HAVE COUNSELED WITH PEOPLE
WHO ARE MARRIED TO AMAZINGLY
00:11:23.96\00:11:28.00
WINSOME PEOPLE.
00:11:28.00\00:11:30.53
I TALKED TO ONE MAN WHOSE
WIFE WOULD TIME TO TIME DISTURB
00:11:30.53\00:11:35.73
THE WORSHIP SERVICE--THAT'S
HOW PRETTY SHE WAS.
00:11:35.73\00:11:39.60
THERE WERE MEN WHO WOULD
TRY NOT TO LOOK; BRETHREN WHO
00:11:39.60\00:11:42.06
ARE MARRIED UNDERSTAND THIS.
00:11:42.06\00:11:45.86
"SHE'S OVER THERE..."
00:11:45.86\00:11:51.33
BUT WHEN I TALKED WITH HER
HUSBAND, HE SAID TO ME, "PASTOR,
00:11:51.33\00:11:55.80
THERE ARE MORNINGS THAT I
PRAY THAT GOD WILL HOLD BACK
00:11:55.80\00:11:58.46
SUNRISE BECAUSE WHILE SHE
LOOKS BEAUTIFUL TO YOU, SHE
00:11:58.46\00:12:02.73
IS AN UGLY WOMAN INSIDE,
AND I WISH THAT IT WOULD REMAIN
00:12:02.73\00:12:07.63
NIGHT LONGER SO I WOULDN'T
HAVE TO LOOK AT HER FACE."
00:12:07.63\00:12:10.83
YOU CAN'T TELL BY THE COVER
OF A BOOK WHAT'S INSIDE OF IT.
00:12:10.83\00:12:16.53
WELL, I WISH SAMSON HAD THOUGHT.
00:12:16.53\00:12:18.43
HE COMES BACK TO HIS PARENTS AND
SAYS, "LOOK, I GOT THE WOMAN."
00:12:18.43\00:12:22.20
"SAMSON, SAMSON,
HAVEN'T YOU LOOKED ?
00:12:22.20\00:12:25.76
YOU KNOW THAT YOUNG LADY
A COUPLE OF BLOCKS DOWN ?"
00:12:25.76\00:12:29.33
"I'VE SEEN HER, MOTHER.
00:12:29.33\00:12:31.23
SHE'S NOT THE ONE FOR ME."
00:12:31.23\00:12:33.36
"BUT SHE'S SO SWEET."
00:12:33.36\00:12:35.26
"YOU THINK SHE'S SWEET.
00:12:35.26\00:12:37.03
I'M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE."
00:12:37.03\00:12:39.10
AND SO HIS FANCY IS CAUGHT.
00:12:39.10\00:12:40.76
HE SAYS,
"FATHER, GET HER FOR ME.
00:12:40.76\00:12:44.90
I RESPECT YOU, BUT I WILL
NOT LET YOU AFFECT MY CHOICE.
00:12:44.90\00:12:49.93
GET THE TIMNATH WOMAN FOR ME."
00:12:49.93\00:12:54.10
THERE ARE SOME THINGS
THAT HAPPENED THAT I CANNOT
00:12:54.10\00:12:56.46
LINGER ON LONG, BUT GOD
WILL ALWAYS SEND YOU HINTS
00:12:56.46\00:13:01.46
WHEN YOU ARE GOING WRONG.
00:13:01.46\00:13:03.53
I'VE DISCOVERED THAT MOST
PEOPLE DON'T SEE THE HINTS.
00:13:03.53\00:13:06.33
GOD CAN PUT UP BILLBOARDS AND
PEOPLE WHO ARE INTENT ON DOING
00:13:06.33\00:13:12.60
SOMETHING ELSE DON'T SEE THEM.
00:13:12.60\00:13:14.96
NOW AFTER IT'S OVER
THEY WILL COME AND SAY, "YOU
00:13:14.96\00:13:17.96
KNOW, I SAW SO MANY
SIGNS; I DON'T KNOW WHY I DIDN'T
00:13:17.96\00:13:21.63
KNOW GOD WAS TRYING TO
TALK TO ME, AND NOW, HERE I AM."
00:13:21.63\00:13:25.10
I TOLD ONE LADY COMING
BACK TO ME, I SAID, "DIDN'T WE
00:13:25.10\00:13:28.03
HAVE COUNSEL, AND DIDN'T I
TELL YOU YOU'RE GOING WRONG ?
00:13:28.03\00:13:32.06
I SELDOM TELL ANYBODY
THAT STRONG A THING, BUT I
00:13:32.06\00:13:35.46
TOLD YOU DIDN'T I ?"
00:13:35.46\00:13:36.90
SHE SAID, "YES, YOU DID,
BUT I THOUGHT YOU WERE TRYING TO
00:13:36.90\00:13:39.50
KEEP ME FROM SOMETHING GOOD.
00:13:39.50\00:13:42.50
NOW, WHAT SHALL I DO ?"
00:13:42.50\00:13:44.23
WELL, YOU KNOW IN THE BACK OF
MY MIND WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS,
00:13:44.23\00:13:46.16
"YOU GOT YOURSELF INTO
IT," BUT THAT'S UNKIND.
00:13:46.16\00:13:52.73
THE WOMAN IN TIMNATH IS THERE.
00:13:52.73\00:13:54.33
THE PARENTS SAY, "WELL,
THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO."
00:13:54.33\00:13:56.46
THEY GO OUT TO VISIT AND
ASIDE FROM THIS LITTLE ESCAPADE,
00:13:56.46\00:14:02.03
AND I CAN'T GET ALL THIS
STUFF IN, BUT HERE'S ONE.
00:14:02.03\00:14:05.50
SAMSON IS NOT
WALKING NOW WITH HIS PARENTS.
00:14:05.50\00:14:07.70
HE'S KIND OF TAKEN A
LITTLE DETOUR AND RUNS
00:14:07.70\00:14:10.20
INTO A YOUNG LION.
00:14:10.20\00:14:14.13
FOR YOU AND ME THAT WOULD
BE A VERY EVENTFUL MOMENT.
00:14:14.13\00:14:22.60
I HAVE NEVER
ENCOUNTERED A LION FACE TO FACE.
00:14:22.60\00:14:25.66
I WENT TO AFRICA, FINALLY,
ENOUGH TIMES AND TEASED THEM
00:14:25.66\00:14:30.03
THAT THE ONLY WILD THING I
HAD SEEN IN AFRICA WAS A GOAT,
00:14:30.03\00:14:35.00
AND SO THEY GOT TOGETHER
AND SPIRITED ME OFF AFTER ONE OF
00:14:35.00\00:14:38.50
MY MEETINGS TO A GAME RESERVE.
00:14:38.50\00:14:41.80
NOW, A GAME RESERVE
IS NOT QUITE LIKE A ZOO.
00:14:41.80\00:14:48.23
IN THE ZOO YOU
ARE LOOKING AT LOSERS.
00:14:48.23\00:14:57.03
THESE ARE THE
ANIMALS THAT GOT CAUGHT.
00:14:57.03\00:15:01.93
DID YOU EVER WONDER WHY
THEY LOOK LIKE THEY DO ?
00:15:01.93\00:15:06.90
THEY'VE BEEN CAUGHT; THEY LOST.
00:15:06.90\00:15:09.56
THEY THINK OF THEIR COUSINS
STILL LOOSE AND FREE BACK IN
00:15:09.56\00:15:13.40
THEIR HOMELAND, AND THERE
YOU ARE THINKING YOU'RE LOOKING
00:15:13.40\00:15:16.20
AT THE GENUINE ARTICLE.
00:15:16.20\00:15:17.36
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
THE REAL ANIMAL LOOKS LIKE;
00:15:17.36\00:15:20.40
YOU'RE LOOKING AT LOSERS.
00:15:20.40\00:15:22.50
SO THEY TOOK ME THROUGH
THIS GAME RESERVE AND THEN
00:15:22.50\00:15:24.76
THEY TOLD ME STORIES.
00:15:24.76\00:15:26.10
THEY WERE TRYING TO GET
BACK AT ME FOR TEASING THEM AND
00:15:26.10\00:15:28.90
SO THEY TOLD ME STORIES ABOUT
WILD ANIMALS AS WE SAT OUTSIDE
00:15:28.90\00:15:33.30
LOOKING OVER THE SAVANNAH.
00:15:33.30\00:15:37.33
I KNEW WHAT THEY WERE TRYING
TO DO, BUT EVENTUALLY THEY
00:15:37.33\00:15:39.83
STILL GOT TO ME.
00:15:39.83\00:15:42.16
THEY SAID, "NOW PASTOR,
YOU MAY GO TO YOUR ROOM, GET
00:15:42.16\00:15:44.23
UNDER YOUR MOSQUITO NET
AND WE SHALL PRAY FOR YOU."
00:15:44.23\00:15:51.40
LATE THAT NIGHT
I HEARD SOMETHING.
00:15:51.40\00:15:54.66
IT WAS AN UNGODLY SOUND.
00:15:54.66\00:16:00.86
I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE--I HAD
NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
00:16:00.86\00:16:06.60
I CAN'T EVEN MIMIC IT.
00:16:06.60\00:16:09.90
I DIDN'T WANT TO ASK
ANYBODY'S HELP BECAUSE
00:16:09.90\00:16:12.33
THEN I WOULD SEEM AFRAID.
00:16:12.33\00:16:16.03
SO GOD AND I HAD A
TALK UNDER THE MOSQUITO NET.
00:16:16.03\00:16:20.83
EVENTUALLY I GOT UP; I
SAID, "I'VE GOT TO CHECK BECAUSE
00:16:20.83\00:16:23.26
THIS THING IS GETTING
LOUDER AND MAYBE COMING NEARER."
00:16:23.26\00:16:27.23
SO I KNOCKED ON THE DOOR
OF A FELLOW WHO DIDN'T SEEM TO
00:16:27.23\00:16:31.06
LORD OVER ME SO MUCH
AND I SAID, "WHAT IS THAT ?"
00:16:31.06\00:16:37.73
HE SAID, "PASTOR,
THAT IS A FREE LION."
00:16:37.73\00:16:43.26
"A WHAT ?"
00:16:43.26\00:16:46.10
"IT IS A FREE LION."
00:16:46.10\00:16:48.56
HE SAID, "THOSE
THINGS YOU HEAR IN AMERICA
00:16:48.56\00:16:51.03
CAN'T MAKE THAT NOISE.
00:16:51.03\00:16:53.20
THEY ARE CAUGHT.
00:16:53.20\00:16:55.60
WHAT YOU HEAR NOW
IS A LION ROAMING FREE.
00:16:55.60\00:16:58.56
HE COULD COME VERY
CLOSE TO US TONIGHT."
00:16:58.56\00:17:01.03
I SAID, "YES, AND
THAT IS THE REASON WHY I'VE
00:17:01.03\00:17:04.16
COME TO YOUR ROOM.
00:17:04.16\00:17:08.30
PERHAPS WE SHOULD GO INTO
THE KITCHEN AND PRAY TOGETHER."
00:17:08.30\00:17:14.63
THIS LION COMES AND
SAMSON HAS NO PROBLEM.
00:17:14.63\00:17:18.20
HE HAS NO WEAPON.
00:17:18.20\00:17:19.46
REMEMBER THEY ARE IN A TENSE
SITUATION WITH THE PHILISTINES,
00:17:19.46\00:17:24.53
SO THERE'S NO WEAPON.
00:17:24.53\00:17:25.83
AND WHEN THE LION COMES,
YOU KNOW I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN
00:17:25.83\00:17:28.83
MOTION IN THE OTHER DIRECTION.
00:17:28.83\00:17:31.56
SAMSON SAYS, "EH,
LOOK IN HIS EYES."
00:17:31.56\00:17:36.26
I'M SURE THE LION WONDERED,
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM ?"
00:17:36.26\00:17:40.20
FINALLY, SAMSON GOES OVER AND
STRANGLES THE LION AND ACCORDING
00:17:40.20\00:17:45.26
TO ONE SCHOLAR THEN PULLS
HIM APART BY HIS HIND LEGS AS
00:17:45.26\00:17:49.76
THOUGH HE WERE A KID GOAT.
00:17:49.76\00:17:53.10
AND THEN HE GOES TO HIS PARENTS
AND NEVER MENTIONS THE LION.
00:17:53.10\00:17:57.03
IT WAS NOT AN EVENT FOR HIM.
00:17:57.03\00:17:59.30
DO YOU FEEL WHAT'S GOING ON ?
00:17:59.30\00:18:02.23
THEN THEY GET TO THIS PLACE
AND THEY DISCOVER THAT THESE
00:18:03.03\00:18:06.90
PEOPLE ARE NOT LIKE THEM.
00:18:06.90\00:18:08.40
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND, I
DON'T BELIEVE IN DISCRIMINATION.
00:18:08.40\00:18:12.63
I DO BELIEVE, HOWEVER, THAT WHEN
YOU ARE ABOUT TO MAKE A CONTRACT
00:18:13.33\00:18:17.20
THAT LASTS FOR LIFE, YOU MUST
CONSIDER WHOM IT IS WITH WHOM
00:18:17.20\00:18:23.53
YOU'RE MAKING THE CONTRACT.
00:18:23.53\00:18:25.63
ARE WE OKAY ?
00:18:25.63\00:18:27.80
YOU KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE
WHO TAKE MORE TIME WITH THE
00:18:27.80\00:18:30.70
DECISION TO BUY AN ATTACHE
CASE THAN THE ONE THAT THEY
00:18:30.70\00:18:35.80
DO FOR CHOOSING A MATE.
00:18:35.80\00:18:37.73
YOU GET ON A
COLLEGE CAMPUS WHERE YOU CAN
00:18:37.73\00:18:40.06
BARELY TELL WHO PEOPLE ARE.
00:18:40.06\00:18:43.50
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO
BOUGHT SPECIAL CLOTHES FOR NOW.
00:18:43.50\00:18:48.43
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO
HAVE BORROWED CARS FOR NOW.
00:18:48.43\00:18:52.23
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
ATTITUDES THAT THEY'VE PUT
00:18:52.23\00:18:56.96
ON FOR NOW, AND THEY DON'T
HAVE LONG-SOME DON'T INTEND
00:18:56.96\00:19:02.93
TO PURSUE A DEGREE.
00:19:02.93\00:19:05.60
THEY ARE PURSUING YOU.
00:19:05.60\00:19:11.36
AND HERE YOU
COME WITHOUT THINKING.
00:19:11.36\00:19:14.13
SAMSON HAS GONE TO TIMNATH.
00:19:14.13\00:19:15.93
THE WOMAN THAT HE MUST
HAVE, AND WHEN HE GETS THERE, HE
00:19:15.93\00:19:19.30
DISCOVERS THAT THESE
PEOPLE ARE QUITE DIFFERENT.
00:19:19.30\00:19:21.26
IN FACT, WHEN THEY FINALLY GO
FOR THE FEAST, SAMSON HAS SEEN
00:19:21.26\00:19:25.96
AGAIN THIS BODY OF THE LION.
00:19:25.96\00:19:28.53
BIRDS HAVE PICKED
THE FLESH FROM IT.
00:19:28.53\00:19:31.10
THE SUN HAS DRIED IT.
00:19:31.10\00:19:32.26
SO IT'S NO LONGER LOOKING
QUITE LIKE IT DID BEFORE.
00:19:32.26\00:19:36.00
AND THERE ARE BEES
THAT HAVE MADE A HONEYCOMB.
00:19:36.00\00:19:39.60
BEES DISLIKE PUTREFACTION.
00:19:39.60\00:19:43.20
THEY WILL NOT GET
NEAR A DECAYING CORPSE, NOT
00:19:43.20\00:19:47.70
EVEN OF A LION.
00:19:47.70\00:19:49.13
BUT AFTER THE FLESH IS GONE AND
AFTER THERE IS NO ODOR OF THAT
00:19:49.13\00:19:53.13
SITUATION, THEY WILL COME AND
THEY HAD MADE INSIDE THE BONES
00:19:53.13\00:19:58.53
OF THIS LION, A HONEYCOMB.
00:19:58.53\00:20:00.96
SAMSON REACHES IN AND GETS
IT--NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT FOOD
00:20:00.96\00:20:05.10
THAT COMES OUT OF A SITUATION
LIKE THAT, BUT HE'S PLAYING WITH
00:20:05.10\00:20:08.40
ALL OF THE RULES, AND BREAKS OFF
A PIECE AND STARTS EATING IT,
00:20:08.40\00:20:11.70
GOES TO MEET HIS PARENTS AND
SAYS, "WOULD YOU LIKE SOME ?"
00:20:11.70\00:20:14.13
HE DOESN'T TELL
THEM WHERE IT CAME FROM.
00:20:14.13\00:20:16.03
THAT'S NOT NICE.
00:20:16.03\00:20:17.50
AND THEY EAT IT WITH HIM.
00:20:17.50\00:20:19.43
AND AS THEY GO DOWN TO THE
FEAST, HE THINKS, "AH HA !"
00:20:19.43\00:20:23.43
IN THOSE DAYS IT WAS QUITE
POPULAR TO BRING SOME KIND OF
00:20:23.43\00:20:29.16
DILEMMA THAT COULD NOT BE
SOLVED; BRING A RIDDLE THAT
00:20:29.16\00:20:32.86
WOULD MAKE EVERYBODY WONDER.
00:20:32.86\00:20:34.20
SO HE COMES.
00:20:34.20\00:20:35.53
THEY HAVE GIVEN HIM 30
PEOPLE FOR HIS ENTOURAGE.
00:20:35.53\00:20:40.26
THERE ARE MANY THINGS
THAT OUGHT TO MAKE BELLS RING
00:20:40.26\00:20:42.63
IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD.
00:20:42.63\00:20:45.16
IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE
MARRIED, BUT THE PEOPLE OF YOUR
00:20:45.16\00:20:50.33
PROPOSED WIFE'S COUNTRY
SEND YOU 30 PEOPLE TO BE
00:20:50.33\00:20:56.43
WITH YOU, THAT'S A SIGN.
00:20:56.43\00:21:00.60
YOU MUST NEVER OVERLOOK THAT.
00:21:00.60\00:21:02.46
"WHY ARE YOU GUYS--?
00:21:02.46\00:21:03.86
HOW YOU DOING ?
00:21:03.86\00:21:05.26
SO YOU'RE GOING DOWN
THERE WITH ME, RIGHT ?
00:21:05.26\00:21:09.06
CAN YOU TELL ME WHO YOU ARE ?
00:21:09.06\00:21:11.23
COULD I KNOW YOUR NAMES, OR--?"
00:21:11.23\00:21:12.86
"WELL, DON'T WORRY
ABOUT IT; WE'RE JUST WITH YOU.
00:21:12.86\00:21:15.00
WE'RE PART OF YOUR PARTY."
00:21:15.00\00:21:16.10
"WELL, IF I DON'T KNOW YOU,
YOU ARE NOT PART OF MY PARTY."
00:21:16.10\00:21:19.13
BUT THEY GO DOWN WITH HIM AND
AFTER THEY GET THERE, HE SAYS,
00:21:19.13\00:21:21.70
"I HAVE A RIDDLE FOR YOU.
00:21:21.70\00:21:23.63
I'VE GOT TOMAKE SURE I
GET IT RIGHT, BECAUSE THIS
00:21:23.63\00:21:26.13
RIDDLE IS INTERESTING.
00:21:26.13\00:21:27.83
HE SAYS, "YOU MUST
SOLVE THIS NOW BEFORE WE LEAVE
00:21:27.83\00:21:32.20
THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION."
00:21:32.20\00:21:35.40
AND THE RIDDLE, I THINK,
HE SAYS, "OUT OF THE EATER
00:21:35.40\00:21:41.66
CAME SOMETHING TO EAT.
00:21:41.66\00:21:44.00
AND OUT OF THE STRONG
CAME SOMETHING SWEET."
00:21:44.00\00:21:48.73
AND THEY SAID, "OKAY."
00:21:48.73\00:21:51.50
"YOU THINK YOU CAN SOLVE IT ?"
00:21:51.50\00:21:52.56
"OF COURSE, WE'LL BE
BACK WITH YOU PRESENTLY."
00:21:52.56\00:21:57.16
AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S
TALKING ABOUT BUT THEY DON'T.
00:21:57.16\00:21:59.93
AND THEY GO FOR THREE
DAYS AND THEN INTO THE FOURTH
00:21:59.93\00:22:04.23
DAY THEY HAVE MADE A WAGER.
00:22:04.23\00:22:05.83
"DO YOU SEE WHAT THIS MAN OF
GOD; GOD HAS SAID, 'I WILL MAKE
00:22:05.83\00:22:11.46
SAMSON THE ONE WHO BEGINS TO
DELIVER ISRAEL," BUT FIRST OF
00:22:11.46\00:22:15.86
ALL HE CHOOSES SOMEBODY WHO HAS
NO CONSONANCE WITH HIS PLAN, OR
00:22:15.86\00:22:21.03
NO UNDERSTANDING OF HIS GOD.
00:22:21.03\00:22:23.96
HOW CAN SHE HELP HIM ?
00:22:23.96\00:22:27.13
HOW CAN SOMEONE HELP FORWARD
YOUR PLANS FOR YOUR LIFE IF THEY
00:22:27.13\00:22:31.50
DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND YOUR GOD.
00:22:31.50\00:22:34.56
I'M NOT TRYING TO BE
TOO STRICT HERE, AM I ?
00:22:34.56\00:22:37.66
IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
00:22:37.66\00:22:40.00
AND SO THEY GO AND TALK TO
HER AND THEY SAY, "LOOK, TELL US
00:22:40.00\00:22:43.10
THIS RIDDLE BECAUSE IT APPEARS
THAT THE GENTLEMAN YOU ARE ABOUT
00:22:43.10\00:22:46.43
TO MARRY WANTS TO RIP US OFF.
00:22:46.43\00:22:49.80
WE HAVE MADE A WAGER."
00:22:49.80\00:22:52.16
YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO
STOP AT EVERY ONE OF THESE
00:22:52.16\00:22:54.90
POINTS, BUT THESE ARE SIGNS.
00:22:54.90\00:22:56.43
HE SAYS, "IF I WIN,
I'LL GIVE EACH ONE OF YOU A
00:22:56.43\00:23:00.50
CHANGE OF CLOTHING.
00:23:00.50\00:23:01.93
I'LL GIVE YOU A WARDROBE.
00:23:01.93\00:23:04.93
BUT IF I WIN, EACH OF
YOU MUST GIVE ME ONE."
00:23:04.93\00:23:07.93
NOT A BAD DEAL.
00:23:07.93\00:23:09.26
IF THEY WIN THEY GET ONE
APIECE; IF HE WINS HE GETS 30.
00:23:09.26\00:23:14.33
AND THEY SAY,
"OKAY, WE'LL WORK THAT."
00:23:14.33\00:23:17.56
BY THE FOURTH DAY THERE'S NO
WAY THEY CAN KNOW THE RIDDLE.
00:23:17.56\00:23:22.83
SO THEY GO TO HIS
PROPOSED WIFE AND SAY, "TELL US
00:23:22.83\00:23:26.26
WHAT YOUR PROPOSED
HUSBAND IS TALKING ABOUT."
00:23:26.26\00:23:31.83
AND FOR A MOMENT, HERE'S ANOTHER
SIGN--IF THE WOMAN YOU'RE ABOUT
00:23:31.83\00:23:35.96
TO MARRY TELLS YOUR SECRETS TO
HER FRIENDS--I DON'T HAVE TIME
00:23:35.96\00:23:45.46
FOR THAT ONE, BUT YOU KNOW
THERE'S SOME POWER IN THAT.
00:23:45.46\00:23:49.60
IF THERE IS MORE CONFIDENCE
BETWEEN HER AND HER PEOPLE THAN
00:23:49.60\00:23:54.40
BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DESIRED
ONE, THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG.
00:23:54.40\00:23:59.96
SO ON THE SEVENTH
DAY GET HER TO BREAK.
00:23:59.96\00:24:05.00
SHE SAYS, "HERE IT IS.
00:24:05.00\00:24:06.20
HE FOUND A HONEYCOMB IN A
LION'S BONES, AND SO ALL HE'S
00:24:06.20\00:24:10.23
SAYING IS THAT THE STRONGEST
ANIMAL THERE IS IS A LION,
00:24:10.23\00:24:14.03
AND THE SWEETEST THING THERE
IS IS HONEY, AND IF YOU SAY
00:24:14.03\00:24:16.76
THOSE TWO THINGS, YOU'LL WIN."
00:24:16.76\00:24:18.23
AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY
THEY COME AND SAY IT AND THAT'S
00:24:18.23\00:24:21.06
WHEN SAMSON SHOULD HAVE
SAID, "MOM, DAD, LET'S GO HOME."
00:24:21.06\00:24:27.50
I HAVE BEEN AT A WEDDING WHERE
THE BRIDE OR THE GROOM CONFESSED
00:24:27.50\00:24:34.16
TO ME--I SHOULDN'T DO
THIS, I SHOULDN'T DO THIS.
00:24:34.16\00:24:40.23
I'M KIND OF STRANGE.
00:24:40.23\00:24:41.76
YOU SHOULD NEVER ASK ME TO
DO YOUR WEDDING IF YOU'RE GOING
00:24:41.76\00:24:44.16
TO CONFESS SOMETHING LIKE THAT,
BECAUSE IT WILL BE MY INTENT
00:24:44.16\00:24:46.96
FROM THAT MOMENT
FORWARD TO STOP THE WEDDING.
00:24:46.96\00:24:50.26
IN FACT, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER
YOU'VE EVER HEARD ABOUT IT, BUT
00:24:50.26\00:24:52.96
ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS,
I SAID TO A BRIDE, "TAKE OFF
00:24:52.96\00:24:57.66
THESE CLOTHES; PUT ON SOME
REGULAR CLOTHES AND GO HOME."
00:24:57.66\00:25:00.33
SHE SAID, "BUT
WHAT WILL HAPPEN ?
00:25:00.33\00:25:02.33
MY FATHER HAS
SPENT ALL THIS MONEY."
00:25:02.33\00:25:03.93
I SAID, "YOUR
FATHER WILL FORGIVE YOU.
00:25:03.93\00:25:06.73
HE'D MUCH RATHER SPEND ALL
THIS MONEY AND HAVE IT GO TO
00:25:06.73\00:25:08.90
WASTE THAN TO HAVE YOU UNHAPPY
FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE,
00:25:08.90\00:25:12.43
SO YOU GO HOME."
00:25:12.43\00:25:13.36
SHE SAID, "WELL, WHAT
ARE YOU GOING TO DO ?"
00:25:13.36\00:25:15.16
I SAID, "YOU WILL
HEAR ABOUT IT LATER."
00:25:15.16\00:25:18.46
PUT HER IN HER CAR AND
WENT OUT TO THE PEOPLE,
00:25:18.46\00:25:20.70
"FOLK, TODAY WE'RE GOING
TO HAVE A WONDERFUL PARTY, BUT
00:25:20.70\00:25:25.03
IT WILL NOT BE A WEDDING.
00:25:25.03\00:25:28.50
THESE PEOPLE ARE
GONE; I HAVE SENT THEM AWAY.
00:25:28.50\00:25:31.50
LET US GO
IMMEDIATELY TO THE RECEPTION."
00:25:31.50\00:25:39.43
DIDN'T TURN OUT BAD, EITHER.
00:25:39.43\00:25:42.26
THERE WERE PEOPLE
WHO WERE QUITE HAPPY.
00:25:42.26\00:25:44.63
WHAT I WANT TO TELL YOU
IS THAT GOD SENDS SIGNS, BUT
00:25:44.63\00:25:48.10
SAMSON WOULD NOT SEE THEM.
00:25:48.10\00:25:50.10
HE MARRIES.
00:25:50.10\00:25:52.93
AND THEN COMES THE STRANGE SIGN.
00:25:52.93\00:25:56.00
THEY SAID, "I TELL YOU
WHAT, SHE GAVE US THE SECRET."
00:25:56.00\00:25:59.56
HE SAID, "I UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU PLOWED WITH MY HEIFER.
00:25:59.56\00:26:03.06
I WILL NOT EXPLAIN THAT; IF
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, THAT'S
00:26:03.06\00:26:06.16
YOUR PROBLEM, AND
THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW MY SECRET."
00:26:06.16\00:26:09.50
THEN HE UNDERSTANDS THAT
THERE IS SOME COMEDY GOING ON.
00:26:09.50\00:26:13.23
HE GOES TO GET THESE 30
CHANGES OF CLOTHING; GOES DOWN
00:26:13.23\00:26:16.70
TO ANOTHER CITY, A CITY OF
PHILISTINES, AND SOMEHOW THIS
00:26:16.70\00:26:21.60
MAN OF GOD, WHO POTENTIALLY
WILL DELIVER ISRAEL DOESN'T
00:26:21.60\00:26:26.00
UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN HE
GOES DOWN AND KILLS 30 PEOPLE
00:26:26.00\00:26:28.83
AND TAKES THEIR CLOTHES
TO HONOR A WAGER, THAT HE'S
00:26:28.83\00:26:34.56
NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG.
00:26:34.56\00:26:36.93
FOLK, LET ME TELL YOU
WHAT I KNOW TO BE TRUE.
00:26:36.93\00:26:40.00
ONCE YOU SET OUT ON A
COURSE THAT IS AGAINST GOD, YOU
00:26:40.00\00:26:43.80
ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND.
