>>WE'RE GOING THROUGH OUR SERIES
DEALING WITH THE SHEPHERD KING,
00:00:16.28\00:00:19.61
AND TODAY IS PRESENTATION #3 -
THE TITLE BEING GINORMOUS FAITH
00:00:19.65\00:00:25.65
. YOU CAN PROBABLY GATHER
WHAT OUR SUBJECT IS BASED ON THE
00:00:25.69\00:00:29.46
TITLE. BACK IN 2006 A BOY NAMED
JAKE OLIVER WAS WALKING HOME
00:00:29.49\00:00:34.86
FROM SCHOOL ACROSS A FIELD IN
BRISTOL, ENGLAND, TALKING ON HIS
00:00:34.93\00:00:38.07
CELL PHONE AND A MUGGER JUMPED
OUT OF THE BUSH AND SAID, 'GIVE
00:00:38.10\00:00:42.07
ME YOUR CELL PHONE OR I'M GOING
TO BEAT YOU UP.' HE PICKED THE
00:00:42.10\00:00:47.11
WRONG PERSON TO MUG.
EVEN THOUGH JAKE WAS A FOOT
00:00:47.14\00:00:51.78
SHORTER, HE WASN'T READY
TO SURRENDER HIS CELL PHONE.
00:00:51.81\00:00:55.28
HE SAID, 'I WORKED LONG, HARD
- DOING A LOT OF JOBS TO PAY FOR
00:00:55.32\00:00:59.09
THAT PHONE AND I HATED
THE IDEA OF GIVING IT AWAY.'
00:00:59.12\00:01:02.49
SO, WHEN HE RESISTED,
THE THIEF SWUNG AT HIM.
00:01:02.52\00:01:05.93
JAKE SAID, 'I SIDE-STEPPED HIS
PUNCH AND DELIVERED A RIGHT HAND
00:01:05.96\00:01:08.83
TO HIS FACE. IT BROKE
HIS NOSE. THERE WAS A LOT OF
00:01:08.86\00:01:12.13
BLOOD EVERYWHERE. HE
HELD HIS NOSE AND HE RAN
00:01:12.17\00:01:14.34
AWAY.' THE THUG DID NOT KNOW
THAT JAKE HAD RECENTLY WON THE
00:01:14.37\00:01:18.64
WORLD KARATE AND KICK-BOXING
ASSOCIATION CHAMPIONSHIP FOR HIS
00:01:18.67\00:01:22.94
AGE, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS ABOUT A
FOOT SHORTER THAN HIS ATTACKER.
00:01:22.98\00:01:30.05
NO WORD HAD EVER BEEN
HEARD FROM THE ATTACKER AGAIN.
00:01:30.09\00:01:35.82
JUST ONE OF THE MANY LITTLE
DAVID AND GOLIATH STORIES.
00:01:35.86\00:01:39.66
THE STORY OF DAVID AND GOLIATH
IS SO FAMOUS, IT'S BECOME A
00:01:39.69\00:01:41.56
METAPHOR FOR WHENEVER SOME SMALL
INDIVIDUAL OR COMPANY HAS TO GO
00:01:41.60\00:01:47.04
UP AGAINST SOME MONOLITH
OR A LARGE PERSON, AND IT IS A
00:01:47.07\00:01:54.21
FASCINATING STORY AND IT
IS, ACTUALLY, A TRUE STORY.
00:01:54.24\00:01:57.88
THIS IS ONE OF THE GREAT STORIES
OF HISTORY AS WELL AS SCRIPTURE,
00:01:57.91\00:02:03.72
AND I'D LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO
TURN IN YOUR BIBLES TO THE FIRST
00:02:03.75\00:02:06.79
BOOK - MOST OF OUR TIME'LL
BE SPENT IN 1 SAMUEL CHAPTER 17.
00:02:06.82\00:02:12.69
AND, WITH THE HELP OF GOD, WE'RE
GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS CHAPTER
00:02:12.73\00:02:15.30
TODAY, WHERE YOU FIND
THIS WONDERFUL ACCOUNT.
00:02:15.33\00:02:19.20
1 SAMUEL 17:1, "NOW THE
PHILISTINES GATHERED THEIR
00:02:19.23\00:02:22.14
ARMIES TOGETHER TO BATTLE, AND
WERE GATHERED AT SOCHOH," - THE
00:02:22.17\00:02:26.21
WORD 'SOCHOH' MEANS 'FORTRESS'
- "WHICH BELONGS TO JUDAH; THEY
00:02:26.24\00:02:30.31
ENCAMPED BETWEEN SOCHOH
AND AZEKAH, IN EPHES DAMMIM.
00:02:30.35\00:02:34.58
AND SAUL AND THE MEN OF ISRAEL
WERE GATHERED TOGETHER, AND THEY
00:02:34.62\00:02:37.25
ENCAMPED IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH,"
- 'ELAH' MEANS 'OAK' - MUST HAVE
00:02:37.29\00:02:40.46
BEEN SOME OAKS IN THE AREA
- "AND DREW UP IN BATTLE ARRAY
00:02:40.49\00:02:44.19
AGAINST THE PHILISTINES.
THE PHILISTINES STOOD ON A
00:02:44.23\00:02:47.50
MOUNTAIN ON ONE SIDE, AND ISRAEL
STOOD ON A MOUNTAIN ON THE OTHER
00:02:47.56\00:02:51.80
SIDE, WITH A
VALLEY BETWEEN THEM."
00:02:51.83\00:02:55.17
- NOW ELAH IS A VALLEY ABOUT 20
MILES FROM BETHLEHEM AND IT'S A
00:02:55.20\00:02:59.27
MAIN PASSAGE BETWEEN THE AREA
OF JUDEA AND THE AREA OF THE
00:02:59.31\00:03:06.15
PHILISTINES. YOU'VE
GOT A PICTURE THERE ON
00:03:06.18\00:03:08.15
YOUR SCREEN - YOU CAN EVEN
GO TO GOOGLE EARTH AND STILL SEE
00:03:08.18\00:03:10.52
WHERE THAT VALLEY IS TODAY.
THE VALLEY CREATES A GREAT
00:03:10.55\00:03:13.89
NATURAL AMPHITHEATER, WITH
A CREEK RUNNING BETWEEN IT.
00:03:13.92\00:03:17.93
AND - SEE, IT SEEMS LIKE THE
FORCES WERE ENGAGED FOR A LONG
00:03:17.96\00:03:22.80
TIME AND THEY WERE
FIGHTING OVER TERRITORY.
00:03:22.83\00:03:24.90
THE PHILISTINES WERE TRYING
TO TAKE SOME TERRITORY THAT
00:03:24.93\00:03:27.54
BELONGED TO ISRAEL. THEY
OFTEN FOUGHT OVER THEIR BORDERS.
00:03:27.57\00:03:31.54
YOU'LL OFTEN HEAR THE
PHILISTINES REFERRED TO BY THE
00:03:31.57\00:03:34.14
ISRAELITES AS 'THE UNCIRCUMCISED
PHILISTINES' - THAT'S BECAUSE,
00:03:34.18\00:03:38.21
ON THEIR OTHER BORDER,
THEY OFTEN HAD PEOPLE LIKE THE
00:03:38.25\00:03:41.55
EDOMITES, OR THE AMMONITES,
OR THE MOABITES, THAT WERE ALL
00:03:41.58\00:03:46.29
RELATED, ANCIENTLY, TO
ISRAEL AND ABRAHAM AND PRACTICED
00:03:46.32\00:03:50.29
CIRCUMCISION, BUT THEY SAW THAT
THE PHILISTINES WERE ESPECIALLY
00:03:50.33\00:03:54.03
VILE PAGANS AND THERE WERE A LOT
OF PAGAN RITUALS AND THEY HAD A
00:03:54.10\00:03:58.43
FISH GOD - AND THE THINGS THAT
THEY WOULD GO THROUGH THAT WERE
00:03:58.47\00:04:01.67
VERY DEGRADING. AND
SO THEY WERE JUST THEIR
00:04:01.70\00:04:04.81
MORTAL ENEMIES FOR MANY YEARS.
YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THE - DURING
00:04:04.84\00:04:09.11
THE TIME OF JUDGES AND
SAMSON AND SAMUEL AND SAUL
00:04:09.14\00:04:13.35
FIGHTING THE PHILISTINES.
THEY WERE SOUTH OF ISRAEL,
00:04:13.38\00:04:18.09
PRINCIPALLY MORE
TOWARDS THE COAST.
00:04:18.12\00:04:20.86
AND SOME HAVE DRAWN A CONNECTION
BETWEEN THE WORD 'PHILISTINE'
00:04:20.89\00:04:25.96
AND 'PALESTINE' BECAUSE IT
WAS ONCE AN ANCIENT LAND OF THE
00:04:25.99\00:04:29.70
PHILISTINES. AND SO,
HERE'S THIS BIG BATTLE
00:04:29.73\00:04:33.30
WITH THEIR MORTAL ENEMY
AND THEY'RE HAVING A STAND-OFF
00:04:33.34\00:04:37.47
BECAUSE EACH IS TRYING TO ENGAGE
THE OTHER TO INITIATE ATTACK
00:04:37.51\00:04:40.91
BECAUSE YOU'RE ALWAYS
IN THE ADVANTAGE IF YOU
00:04:40.94\00:04:44.05
HAVE THE HIGH GROUND.
YOU NOTICE, THEY'RE BOTH ON
00:04:44.08\00:04:46.45
MOUNTAINS - THEY'VE
GOT A VALLEY BETWEEN THEM.
00:04:46.48\00:04:48.72
THEY'RE
BASICALLY SAYING, 'COME ON.
00:04:48.75\00:04:50.39
YOU WANNA COME FIGHT US,
YOU'VE GOT TO COME UP THE HILL.
00:04:50.42\00:04:53.25
WE'LL HAVE THE ADVANTAGE.' THEY
SAID, 'NO, YOU COME FIGHT US.
00:04:53.29\00:04:54.66
YOU'VE GOT TO COME UP THE
HILL.' AND SO THEY'RE HAVING
00:04:54.69\00:04:56.69
SKIRMISHES, BUT THEY'RE
HAVING A BATTLE STAND-OFF.
00:04:56.73\00:05:00.76
SO THIS GREAT CONTROVERSY TAKES
PLACE AND THEN, IN THE MIDST OF
00:05:00.80\00:05:04.30
THIS SCENE, OUT
MARCHES THE ARCH VILLAIN.
00:05:04.33\00:05:10.47
IT SAYS, IN VERSE 4, "AND A
CHAMPION WENT OUT FROM THE CAMP
00:05:10.51\00:05:13.91
OF THE PHILISTINES, NAMED
GOLIATH, FROM GATH, WHOSE HEIGHT
00:05:13.94\00:05:19.61
WAS SIX CUBITS AND A SPAN."
- NOW, THERE'S SOME QUESTION
00:05:19.65\00:05:25.72
ABOUT HOW BIG HE
WAS - HOW TALL IS THAT?
00:05:25.75\00:05:30.06
YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ IN THE
SECOND BIBLE COMMENTARY, PAGE
00:05:30.09\00:05:34.23
1018, THE PHILISTINES PROPOSED
THEIR OWN MANNER OF WARFARE IN
00:05:34.30\00:05:38.93
SELECTING A MAN OF GREAT SIZE
AND STRENGTH WHOSE HEIGHT IS
00:05:38.97\00:05:42.44
ABOUT TWELVE FEET.
NOW, I'VE GOT TO TALK
00:05:42.47\00:05:45.64
TO YOU A MOMENT ABOUT GIANTS.
YOU KNOW, HISTORIANS DISAGREE
00:05:45.67\00:05:51.75
WITH A LOT OF
THINGS IN THE BIBLE.
00:05:51.78\00:05:53.82
ONE THING THEY DON'T DISAGREE
WITH IS THAT THERE WERE GIANTS
00:05:53.85\00:05:58.29
IN ANCIENT TIME.
OF COURSE, WHAT DO
00:05:58.32\00:06:00.19
YOU CONSIDER A GIANT? YOU
CAN READ, FOR INSTANCE, IN
00:06:00.22\00:06:04.33
DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 3, VERSE
11, "FOR ONLY OG KING OF BASHAN
00:06:04.36\00:06:08.80
REMAINED OF THE
REMNANT OF THE GIANTS.
00:06:08.83\00:06:10.70
INDEED HIS BEDSTEAD
WAS AN IRON BEDSTEAD.
00:06:10.73\00:06:13.97
(IS IT NOT IN RABBAH
OF THE PEOPLE OF AMMON?)"
00:06:14.00\00:06:15.80
- THEY EVEN KEPT HIS BEDSTEAD
AS A MEMORIAL - "NINE CUBITS" -
00:06:15.84\00:06:22.14
HOW TALL WAS GOLIATH? >>TWELVE.
00:06:22.18\00:06:24.21
>>HE'S SIX CUBITS. NOW, I'M NOT
TALKING ABOUT FEET, I'M TALKING
00:06:24.25\00:06:26.98
ABOUT CUBITS. HIS BEDSTEAD
WAS NINE CUBITS. THAT MEANS HIS
00:06:27.02\00:06:29.78
BEDSTEAD WAS BY THE COMMON
SMALL STANDARD, 13.5. NOW YOU'LL
00:06:29.82\00:06:34.92
NOTICE, EVEN IN THE BIBLE IT
SAYS, "ACCORDING TO THE STANDARD
00:06:34.96\00:06:37.23
CUBIT." THAT'S BECAUSE
THERE WERE DIFFERENT CUBITS.
00:06:37.26\00:06:39.23
HERE YOU'VE GOT JUST A LITTLE
PICTURE OF SOME OF THE ANCIENT
00:06:39.26\00:06:42.50
GIANTS. THE FIRST
ONE THERE WOULD HAVE
00:06:42.53\00:06:44.60
BEEN OG, THE KING OF BASHAN,
ABOUT 11 FEET 10 INCHES - THAT
00:06:44.63\00:06:49.64
IS, IF YOU'RE USING THE STANDARD
MEASUREMENT. AND THEN YOU'D HAVE
00:06:49.67\00:06:52.67
GOLIATH THERE, AND THEN YOU'D
HAVE THE AVERAGE JEWISH MAN.
00:06:52.71\00:06:56.08
THIS IS A FRIEND, ERIC GINGOLD
- KAREN AND I, WE WERE SCUBA
00:06:56.11\00:07:01.82
DIVING ON A BOAT IN AUSTRALIA
AND WE MET THIS YOUNG MAN - HE
00:07:01.85\00:07:07.19
USED TO, ACTUALLY, PLAY
BALL FOR THE CHICAGO BULLS.
00:07:07.22\00:07:10.66
HE IS, NOT JOKING, THE
TALLEST JEW IN THE WORLD.
00:07:10.69\00:07:14.30
HE'S 7 FEET, 2 INCHES TALL AND
I WAS LOOKING AT PICTURES OF HIM
00:07:14.30\00:07:18.90
ONLINE AND I SAW A
PICTURE OF ME WITH HIM.
00:07:18.93\00:07:22.04
THAT'S ME ON THE LEFT - AND
KAREN, I THINK, TOOK THE PICTURE
00:07:22.07\00:07:25.27
BUT THIS OTHER GAL COMMENTED.
SHE MUST HAVE E-MAILED IT TO HER
00:07:25.31\00:07:27.48
OR SOMETHING, BUT ANYWAY, YEAH
- I FELT - AND IT WAS SO FUNNY
00:07:27.51\00:07:31.88
BECAUSE HE COULD NOT
SLEEP IN THE BEDS ON THE BOAT.
00:07:31.91\00:07:34.28
HE HAD TO SLEEP ON DECK. AND
WHEN WE WENT OUT - NICEST GUY -
00:07:34.32\00:07:37.75
PLAYED CHESS - VERY BRIGHT.
AND AS WE - WHEN WE WENT OUT
00:07:37.79\00:07:40.29
DIVING, WE'D ALL GO OUT, WE'D
TAKE A TANK AND WE'D GO DIVING.
00:07:40.32\00:07:43.46
HE HAD TO HAVE A SPECIALLY MADE
WETSUIT - HE'S 7 FEET, 2 INCHES,
00:07:43.49\00:07:47.76
AND HE WOULD BE OUT OF
AIR IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES.
00:07:47.76\00:07:52.50
WE'D GO OUT FOR AN HOUR WITH OUR
TANKS AND HE'D GET OUT THERE -
00:07:52.53\00:07:55.07
HE'D BREATHE THROUGH - HE'D GO
- (MAKES EXAGGERATED BREATHING
00:07:55.10\00:07:57.64
NOISES) - AND HE'D JUST TAKE ALL
THE AIR OUT OF HIS - HE WAS JUST
00:07:57.67\00:08:00.84
SO BIG. (LAUGHTER) SOME OF YOU
HAVE HEARD OF ANDRE THE GIANT.
00:08:00.88\00:08:06.58
THEY SAID AT HIS PEAK HE WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE - HE WAS AN ACTOR
00:08:06.61\00:08:08.98
AND A PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER
AND HE WAS LIKE 7 FEET, 4.
00:08:09.02\00:08:12.72
BUT, IF YOU LOOK DOWN THROUGH
HISTORY, THERE HAVE BEEN A
00:08:12.75\00:08:15.99
NUMBER OF GIANTS
THAT ARE MUCH TALLER.
00:08:16.02\00:08:18.53
READING IN ADAM CLARK'S
COMMENTARY, PLINY SAYS THE
00:08:18.56\00:08:23.87
LARGEST MAN - HE WAS A HISTORIAN
DURING THE TIME OF THE CAESARS -
00:08:23.90\00:08:27.90
HE SAID, THE TALLEST MAN THAT
HAD BEEN SEEN IN OUR DAYS WAS
00:08:27.94\00:08:30.51
ONE NAMED GABBARA, WHO WAS, IN
THE DAYS OF CLAUDIUS, THE LATE
00:08:30.54\00:08:33.44
EMPEROR, BROUGHT OUT OF ARABIA.
HE WAS 9 FEET, 9 INCHES - TALLER
00:08:33.48\00:08:38.95
THAN GOLIATH, BY SOME STANDARDS.
JOSEPHUS MENTIONS A JEW NAMED
00:08:38.98\00:08:42.62
ELEAZER, WHOM VITALIUS SENT
TO ROME, WHO WAS SEVEN CUBITS,
00:08:42.65\00:08:47.76
OR 10 FEET, 2 INCHES HIGH.
BEKANUS SAW A MAN NEAR 10 FEET
00:08:47.79\00:08:53.70
AND A WOMAN THAT WAS
FULL 10 FEET, 2 INCHES.
00:08:53.73\00:08:57.77
NOT TO MENTION ANY MORE,
THE NAME OF JOHN MIDDLETON, AN
00:08:57.80\00:09:00.67
ENGLISHMAN BORN NEAR HALE, AND
DURING THE REIGN OF JAMES THE
00:09:00.70\00:09:04.51
1ST, HE WAS MORE THAN
9 FEET, 3 INCHES HIGH.
00:09:04.54\00:09:07.58
AND SO, THERE - YOU KNOW,
EVERYONE KNOWS THERE HAVE BEEN
00:09:07.61\00:09:10.35
GIANTS THROUGH HISTORY, BUT
DEPENDING ON WHAT CUBIT YOU USE
00:09:10.38\00:09:16.22
- AND I THINK WE'VE GOT A
PICTURE HERE THAT MAY ILLUSTRATE
00:09:16.25\00:09:18.82
THAT. THIS IS A PICTURE OF
SOME OF THE CUBITS. THEY VARIED.
00:09:18.85\00:09:22.99
YOU HAD THE HEBREW SHORT CUBIT,
WHICH WAS ABOUT 18 INCHES -
00:09:23.02\00:09:25.79
17.5, THE EGYPTIAN CUBIT,
THE COMMON CUBIT, THE BABYLONIAN
00:09:25.83\00:09:29.66
ROYAL CUBIT - NOW YOU'RE GETTING
UP TO 19 INCHES - THE HEBREW
00:09:29.70\00:09:33.17
LONG CUBIT, THE EGYPTIAN ROYAL
CUBIT, AND, IF YOU WENT BY THE
00:09:33.20\00:09:36.84
EGYPTIAN ROYAL CUBIT, THEN
GOLIATH WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT 12
00:09:36.87\00:09:40.11
FEET, OR 11' 11", WHICH IS WHAT
THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY SAYS.
00:09:40.14\00:09:44.91
SO HE WAS BIG. THIS
MAN WAS A VIRTUAL MONSTER.
00:09:44.95\00:09:50.82
YOU CAN READ ABOUT THIS
IN NUMBERS 13:33 - WHEN THE
00:09:50.85\00:09:54.82
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WENT INTO THE
PROMISED LAND TO SEARCH IT OUT,
00:09:54.86\00:09:57.89
TEN OF THE SPIES
CAME BACK FRIGHTENED. WHY?
00:09:57.93\00:10:00.76
IT SAYS, 'WE SAW THERE
THE CHILDREN OF ANAK, THE
00:10:00.80\00:10:04.67
DESCENDANTS FROM THE GIANTS;
WE WERE LIKE GRASSHOPPERS IN OUR
00:10:04.70\00:10:08.44
OWN SIGHT, SO WERE WE IN THEIR
SIGHT.' DEUTERONOMY 3:11 - OH, I
00:10:08.47\00:10:15.14
MENTIONED OG KING OF BASHAN.
AND THEN IT GOES ON AND IT
00:10:15.18\00:10:18.55
ITEMIZES SOME OF THE
GEAR THAT GOLIATH IS WEARING.
00:10:18.58\00:10:22.82
IT SAYS HE HAD A BRONZE HELMET
THAT WAS ON HIS HEAD AND HE WAS
00:10:22.85\00:10:26.25
ARMED WITH A COAT OF MAIL -
THAT'S THE SCALES THAT PROTECT
00:10:26.29\00:10:29.76
FROM ARROWS AND SO FORTH - AND
IT WAS FIVE THOUSAND SHEKELS OF
00:10:29.79\00:10:34.20
BRONZE. THAT'S 150 POUNDS.
YOU EVER WEAR A COAT THAT WEIGHS
00:10:34.20\00:10:39.73
150 POUNDS? NOW I CAN LIFT 150
POUNDS BUT I SURE WOULDN'T WANT
00:10:39.77\00:10:43.64
TO HAVE TO GO INTO BATTLE
WEARING THAT. IN ORDER FOR THAT
00:10:43.67\00:10:47.61
NOT TO IMPEDE HIM, HE
MUST HAVE BEEN VERY STRONG.
00:10:47.64\00:10:50.08
SO CAN YOU IMAGINE PUTTING ON A
COAT OF 150 POUNDS AND SAY, 'OH,
00:10:50.11\00:10:53.11
YEAH, BARELY NOTICE.'
YOU'D HAVE TO BE A GIANT.
00:10:53.15\00:10:57.62
"NOW THE STAFF OF HIS SPEAR WAS
LIKE A WEAVER'S BEAM," - LIKE A
00:10:57.65\00:11:01.59
LITTLE TELEPHONE POLE - "AND
HIS IRON SPEARHEAD WEIGHT SIX
00:11:01.62\00:11:05.43
HUNDRED SHEKELS; AND A
SHIELD-BEARER WENT BEFORE HIM."
00:11:05.46\00:11:08.73
- HIS SPEAR WAS 18 POUNDS.
NOW, I'VE GOT WEIGHTS I USE
00:11:08.76\00:11:12.93
- I HAVE A COUPLE OF 25-POUND
WEIGHTS THAT I LIFT, YOU KNOW,
00:11:12.97\00:11:16.04
JUST IN THE BEDROOM
THERE AND THEY'RE HEAVY IF YOU
00:11:16.07\00:11:19.37
DO IT A FEW TIMES. I
CAN'T IMAGINE TRYING TO HOLD
00:11:19.41\00:11:21.21
UP A SPEAR THAT HAD
AN 18-POUND HEAD ON IT.
00:11:21.24\00:11:24.95
YOU'D HAVE TO BE A MASSIVE GUY.
THEY HAD, PROBABLY, A BUNCH OF
00:11:24.98\00:11:28.12
ATTENDANTS THERE IN
GATH THAT SPENT THEIR TIME
00:11:28.15\00:11:31.12
WORKING ON HIS ARMOR.
I MEAN, YOU COULDN'T JUST
00:11:31.15\00:11:33.86
BUY THAT OFF THE
SHELF. IF YOU WERE - IF YOU
00:11:33.89\00:11:37.96
WERE A GIANT LIKE THAT.
AND SO THE BIBLE IS GOING ON
00:11:37.99\00:11:40.70
TO TELL US THAT
THIS MAN WAS A WONDER.
00:11:40.73\00:11:43.83
HE'S CALLED THE
CHAMPION OF THE PHILISTINES.
00:11:43.87\00:11:46.90
HE'S A VIRTUAL
MOUNTAIN. HE'S A HUGE GLADIATOR.
00:11:46.94\00:11:51.17
AND HE COMES OUT NOW, AND YOU GO
ON TO THE GREAT CHALLENGE - THIS
00:11:51.21\00:11:55.58
IS IN VERSE 8 - HE COMES
MARCHING DOWN INTO THE VALLEY
00:11:55.61\00:11:59.51
AND BECAUSE OF THE HILLS ON EACH
SIDE AND THE AIR IS CLEAR THERE,
00:11:59.55\00:12:04.22
EVERYONE COULD HEAR. AND
HE STOOD AND HE CRIED OUT
00:12:04.25\00:12:07.39
TO THE ARMIES OF ISRAEL - NOW,
BECAUSE THE PHILISTINES - WHEN
00:12:07.42\00:12:10.49
THEY WEREN'T AT WAR, THEY WOULD
TRADE TOGETHER AND THEY KIND
00:12:10.53\00:12:13.83
OF UNDERSTOOD HOW
TO SPEAK THE LANGUAGE.
00:12:13.86\00:12:16.00
YOU KNOW, YOU GO TO EUROPE AND
IF YOU'RE IN SWITZERLAND THEY
00:12:16.03\00:12:18.93
SPEAK FRENCH AND THEY SPEAK
ITALIAN AND THEY SPEAK GERMAN
00:12:18.97\00:12:21.67
AND THEY SPEAK SWISS.
AND WHEN YOU'RE IN EUROPE
00:12:21.70\00:12:24.91
EVERYBODY SPEAKS
TWO OR THREE LANGUAGES.
00:12:24.94\00:12:27.08
IF SOMEBODY SPEAKS
THREE LANGUAGES THEY'RE CALLED
00:12:27.11\00:12:30.21
TRILINGUAL. IF YOU
SPEAK TWO LANGUAGES
00:12:30.25\00:12:32.98
YOU'RE
BILINGUAL. IF YOU SPEAK ONE
00:12:33.01\00:12:34.48
LANGUAGE YOU'RE AMERICAN.
(LAUGHTER) THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY.
00:12:34.52\00:12:37.89
BUT THEY SPOKE, YOU KNOW, EACH
OTHER'S LANGUAGES BECAUSE THEY -
00:12:37.92\00:12:40.99
LET'S FACE IT, DID SAMSON
KNOW HOW TO SPEAK PHILISTINE?
00:12:41.02\00:12:44.73
BUT WHEN HE WAS WITH DELILAH
DID HE NEED A TRANSLATOR?
00:12:44.76\00:12:46.83
SO THEY KNEW HOW TO COMMUNICATE
WITH EACH OTHER BECAUSE THEY
00:12:46.86\00:12:49.90
SPENT A LOT OF TIME TRADING
WHEN THEY WEREN'T FIGHTING.
00:12:49.93\00:12:52.50
AND EVEN THE PHILISTINES HAD
GARRISONS AMONG THE ISRAELITES.
00:12:52.53\00:12:56.34
AND SO, HE COMES OUT AND HE
CRIES OUT IN THE LANGUAGE OF
00:12:56.37\00:12:59.44
ISRAEL - AND HE ISSUES
AN INTERESTING CHALLENGE:
00:12:59.47\00:13:03.38
"WHY HAVE YOU COME
OUT TO LINE UP FOR BATTLE?
00:13:03.41\00:13:05.71
AM I NOT A PHILISTINE,
AND YOU THE SERVANTS OF SAUL?
00:13:05.75\00:13:08.82
CHOOSE A MAN FOR YOURSELVES,"
- ONE PERSON - "AND LET HIM COME
00:13:08.85\00:13:12.29
DOWN TO ME. IF HE IS ABLE TO
FIGHT WITH ME AND KILL ME, THEN
00:13:12.32\00:13:16.19
WE WILL BE YOUR SERVANTS. BUT IF
I PREVAIL AGAINST HIM AND KILL
00:13:16.22\00:13:19.23
HIM, THEN YOU SHALL BE OUR
SERVANTS" - 'WHY DO WE HAVE TO
00:13:19.26\00:13:20.96
HAVE ALL THIS WASTE OF WAR AND
KILL ALL THESE PEOPLE?' HE SAID,
00:13:21.00\00:13:24.47
'YOU JUST SEND OUT YOUR BEST MAN
TO FIGHT ME - WE'LL FIGHT TO THE
00:13:24.50\00:13:27.57
DEATH - WHOEVER WINS THE OTHERS
AGREE, OKAY, WE WILL PAY TAXES
00:13:27.60\00:13:33.11
TO YOU.' - IT DIDN'T MEAN
THEY'D ALL BE THEIR SLAVES, IT
00:13:33.14\00:13:35.18
MEANT WHEN ONE COUNTRY
OVERPOWERED ANOTHER COUNTRY
00:13:35.21\00:13:37.81
THEY, THEN, WOULD PAY TRIBUTE TO
THEM AND THEY WOULD BE SUPERIOR.
00:13:37.85\00:13:44.05
AND HE SAID, 'IF HE IS ABLE
TO FIGHT ME, GREAT.' THAT TAKES
00:13:44.09\00:13:47.46
SOME COURAGE TO COME OUT AND
SAY I'M WILLING TO FIGHT TO THE
00:13:47.49\00:13:49.32
DEATH. BUT IF
YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, NINE TO
00:13:49.36\00:13:50.76
TWELVE FEET TALL, IT MIGHT BE
EASIER. AND THEN HE WENT ON TO
00:13:50.79\00:13:54.13
DEFY THE ARMIES OF ISRAEL.
HE SAID, "I DEFY" - I DARE -
00:13:54.20\00:13:59.70
"...GIVE ME A MAN,
THAT WE MAY FIGHT TOGETHER."
00:13:59.73\00:14:02.97
SO HERE COMES THIS ONE MAN
WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION,
00:14:03.00\00:14:06.78
MARCHING INTO THE VALLEY
AND HE ISSUES THIS CHALLENGE AND
00:14:06.81\00:14:09.24
SAYING, 'I DARE
YOU TO SEND ME A MAN.
00:14:09.28\00:14:10.91
YOU'VE GOT A MILLION PEOPLE,
SEND ME ONE SOLDIER THAT YOU CAN
00:14:10.95\00:14:14.52
FIGHT - THAT CAN FIGHT WITH ME.'
NOW WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN THE MOST
00:14:14.55\00:14:18.02
LIKELY TO GO? >>THE KING.
00:14:18.05\00:14:21.26
>>KING SAUL, THE BIBLE SAYS,
IS A HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE
00:14:21.29\00:14:23.73
EVERYONE ELSE. OF
COURSE, A FEW YEARS HAVE GONE
00:14:23.76\00:14:25.19
BY, SAUL MAY HAVE BEEN 50 YEARS
OLD AT THIS TIME AND YOU'RE NOT
00:14:25.23\00:14:29.40
QUITE AS FAST, SO THEY
MAY NOT HAVE EXPECTED THAT.
00:14:29.43\00:14:32.43
AND THEN THERE'S JONATHAN, HE'D
GONE WITH HIS ARMOR BEARER -
00:14:32.47\00:14:35.00
JONATHAN AND HIS ARMOR
BEARER KILLED 20 PHILISTINES.
00:14:35.04\00:14:39.17
AND SO, MAYBE JONATHAN.
HE MUST HAVE BEEN TALL AND
00:14:39.21\00:14:41.88
STATELY, BUT NOT
NEAR AS TALL AS GOLIATH.
00:14:41.91\00:14:46.38
NOW, HOW OFTEN - HOW
MANY TIMES DID HE DO THIS?
00:14:46.41\00:14:51.09
HOW MANY TIMES DID
GOLIATH ISSUE THIS CHALLENGE?
00:14:51.12\00:14:53.59
>>EVERY DAY.
>>EVERY DAY FOR HOW LONG?
00:14:53.62\00:14:55.72
>>FORTY DAYS.
>>FORTY DAYS - TWICE A DAY.
00:14:55.76\00:14:59.09
EIGHTY TIMES. THAT'S WHAT IT
SAYS HERE. VERSE 16 - I'M JUST
00:14:59.13\00:15:03.47
JUMPING AHEAD - "AND
THE PHILISTINE DREW NEAR AND
00:15:03.50\00:15:05.37
PRESENTED HIMSELF FORTY
DAYS, MORNING AND EVENING."
00:15:05.40\00:15:10.97
NOW, DOES ANYONE COME OUT OF
THE HEBREW CAMP TO FIGHT HIM?
00:15:11.01\00:15:15.08
HE ISSUES HIS GREAT CHALLENGE
AND THE BIBLE GOES ON TO SAY -
00:15:15.11\00:15:18.21
AND THE NEXT ONE IS NOT ONLY IS
THERE GREAT CHALLENGES - GREAT
00:15:18.25\00:15:21.22
COWARDICE FROM ALL THE ARMIES
OF ISRAEL, THERE WAS NOT A MAN.
00:15:21.25\00:15:26.45
WHEN SAUL AND ISRAEL HEARD THESE
WORDS OF THE PHILISTINE, THEY
00:15:26.49\00:15:29.39
WERE DISMAYED
AND GREATLY AFRAID.
00:15:29.42\00:15:33.80
NOW THIS IS REALLY SAD BECAUSE
WHY DID ISRAEL INITIALLY WANT A
00:15:33.83\00:15:36.83
KING? DO YOU
REMEMBER WHEN THEY SAID
00:15:36.87\00:15:40.00
THEY DIDN'T WANT SAMUEL
ANYMORE? AND THIS IS IN CHAPTER
00:15:40.04\00:15:42.70
8 OF 1 SAMUEL, VERSE 19.
THEY SAID, 'NO, WE WANT A KING
00:15:42.74\00:15:46.54
OVER US THAT WE CAN BE LIKE THE
OTHER NATIONS, THAT OUR KING MAY
00:15:46.57\00:15:50.35
JUDGE US AND GO OUT
BEFORE US AND FIGHT OUR BATTLES.
00:15:50.38\00:15:54.48
SO, EVERY TIME GOLIATH CAME
MARCHING DOWN AND HE STARTED TO
00:15:54.52\00:15:57.29
MOCK THE GOD OF ISRAEL AND CURSE
THE GOD OF ISRAEL AND TAUNT AND
00:15:57.32\00:16:01.69
MAKE FUN OF AND - I'M SURE THAT
THE SOLDIERS ON THE FRONT LINES
00:16:01.72\00:16:05.03
SAID THINGS THAT WE CAN'T REPEAT
IN CHURCH AND, THANKFULLY,
00:16:05.06\00:16:07.30
THEY'RE NOT IN THE
BIBLE, BUT WE GET THE IDEA.
00:16:07.36\00:16:10.50
BUT HE WAS DEFYING GOD, USING
GOD'S NAME IN VAIN - HE WAS
00:16:10.53\00:16:15.10
BLASPHEMING AND THE SOLDIERS
OF ISRAEL KIND OF JUST TOOK IT.
00:16:15.14\00:16:21.78
YOU EVER FELT INTIMIDATED?
YOU EVER FELT LIKE THE
00:16:21.81\00:16:24.88
ENEMY INTIMIDATES YOU?
AND IT GOES ON MORNING AND
00:16:24.91\00:16:28.72
EVENING, DAY AFTER DAY, AND YOU
JUST FEEL LIKE YOU'RE OPPRESSED?
00:16:28.75\00:16:34.22
AND THIS IS WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
IF DAVID, IN THIS STORY, IS A
00:16:34.26\00:16:37.86
TYPE OF CHRIST, THEN
WHO WOULD GOLIATH BE?
00:16:37.89\00:16:40.96
HE IS THE
ARCH-OPPOSITE. HE IS THE DEVIL.
00:16:40.96\00:16:43.80
AND SO THIS STORY OF DAVID AND
GOLIATH IS NOT JUST A WONDERFUL
00:16:43.83\00:16:46.43
STORY TO INSPIRE CHILDREN, BUT
IT'S REALLY FOR EVERY BELIEVER
00:16:46.47\00:16:50.71
BECAUSE WE HAVE ALL
BEEN TAUNTED BY THE DEVIL.
00:16:50.74\00:16:55.04
WE HAVE ALL BEEN ABUSED AND
WE'VE FELT LIKE WE HAVE BEEN
00:16:55.08\00:16:58.78
VICTIMS AND THAT WE'RE -
BEEN ENSLAVED BY THE ENEMY.
00:16:58.81\00:17:03.12
AND DON'T MISS IT, THIS IS
ABOUT - THEY SAID, 'WE BEAT YOU,
00:17:03.15\00:17:06.69
YOU'RE OUR SLAVES.' THIS IS
ABOUT WHO IS GOING TO SERVE WHO.
00:17:06.72\00:17:11.06
WHICH GOD IS
GOING TO BE SUPREME.
00:17:11.09\00:17:12.93
IT'S NOT JUST A BATTLE BETWEEN
ARMIES, IT'S A BATTLE BETWEEN
00:17:12.96\00:17:15.06
GODS. AND YOU'LL NOTICE
THAT DAVID IS DEFENDING GOD AND
00:17:15.10\00:17:19.47
GOLIATH CURSES BY HIS
GODS. IT'S A BATTLE ABOUT WHICH
00:17:19.50\00:17:23.10
GOD IS THE REAL
GOD. THE PHILISTINES
00:17:23.14\00:17:25.31
HAD SEVERAL GODS. AND
SO HE WENT ON AND DOES THIS
00:17:25.34\00:17:28.81
EIGHTY TIMES AND THEY HAD TO SIT
THERE AND HEAR THIS CHALLENGE.
00:17:28.84\00:17:32.15
AND THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL ARE SO
AFRAID AND THE KING, WHO USED TO
00:17:32.18\00:17:36.08
HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD,
BUT WHAT'S HAPPENED TO SAUL?
00:17:36.12\00:17:38.29
DO YOU REMEMBER
THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER?
00:17:38.32\00:17:40.42
THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD LEFT SAUL
AND THE DISTRESSING, DEPRESSING
00:17:40.46\00:17:45.16
SPIRIT CAME AND TORMENTED
HIM. BUT THE SPIRIT OF THE
00:17:45.19\00:17:49.33
LORD FILLED DAVID.
NOW SAUL HAS LOST THE HOLY
00:17:49.36\00:17:53.57
SPIRIT AND, YOU KNOW, ONE OF
THOSE ATTRIBUTES WAS COURAGE -
00:17:53.60\00:17:56.47
AND HE HAS LOST HIS COURAGE.
HE'S LOST HIS BACKBONE - AND
00:17:56.50\00:18:00.74
WHEN THE KING LOSES COURAGE,
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAPTAIN
00:18:00.78\00:18:03.18
OF A TEAM LOSES
COURAGE? IT AFFECTS THE FORCES.
00:18:03.21\00:18:07.72
AND SO SAUL IS OBVIOUSLY SCARED
AND THIS IS - FRIGHTENS THE
00:18:07.75\00:18:10.75
PEOPLE - MAYBE JONATHAN SAID,
'DAD, LET ME GO FIGHT HIM.' HE
00:18:10.79\00:18:13.86
SAID, 'NO, YOU'RE THE CROWN
PRINCE, I CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE
00:18:13.89\00:18:15.86
YOU.' I KIND OF THINK JONATHAN
WAS WILLING, BUT THERE WAS
00:18:15.89\00:18:20.13
NOBODY THAT SAUL WAS
PREPARED TO SEND OUT.
00:18:20.16\00:18:23.60
AND SO, ALL OF A
SUDDEN THERE'S A CHANGE.
00:18:23.63\00:18:28.14
NOW YOU HAVE THE GREAT CONTRAST.
GO TO VERSE 12 - "NOW DAVID"
00:18:28.17\00:18:33.51
- YOU'VE GONE FROM THE BATTLE
SCENE ON THE FRONT LINES, AND
00:18:33.54\00:18:39.11
NOW YOU GO TO THE
FIELDS AND THE MEADOWS.
00:18:39.15\00:18:42.02
YOU'VE GONE FROM THE GIANT AND
NOW YOU GO TO A YOUNG BOY - HE'S
00:18:42.05\00:18:45.35
NOT A YOUNG BOY, HE'S A YOUNG
MAN - "NOW DAVID WAS THE SON OF
00:18:45.39\00:18:48.99
THAT EPHRATHITE OF BETHLEHEM
JUDAH," - NOW THE REASON IT SAYS
00:18:49.02\00:18:52.03
'EPHRATHITE' IS BECAUSE THE
WORD 'BETHLEHEM' MEANS 'HOUSE OF
00:18:52.06\00:18:55.20
BREAD' - THERE ARE TWO, MAYBE
THREE BETHLEHEMS THAT WERE IN
00:18:55.23\00:18:59.50
THE PROMISED LAND. RACHEL
DIED IN BETHLEHEM EPHRATHA.
00:18:59.53\00:19:04.61
THAT'S WHERE DAVID LIVED, THAT'S
WHERE JESSE LIVED - NOT TO BE
00:19:04.64\00:19:07.44
CONFUSED WITH
THE OTHER BETHLEHEM.
00:19:07.48\00:19:09.38
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY THERE ARE,
BUT THERE'S SEVERAL PORTLANDS IN
00:19:09.41\00:19:11.48
AMERICA - YOU'VE GOT PORTLAND,
OREGON AND PORTLAND, MAINE -
00:19:11.51\00:19:13.65
YOU'VE GOT SEVERAL FARMINGTONS -
IT'S A NORMAL NAME, FARMING TOWN
00:19:13.68\00:19:16.89
- WE'VE GOT A LOT OF
THOSE IN NORTH AMERICA.
00:19:16.92\00:19:18.32
AND SO, THERE
WERE A FEW BETHLEHEMS.
00:19:18.35\00:19:20.62
AND SO, IT CALLS HIM JESSE THE
EPHRATHITE OF BETHLEHEM JUDAH,
00:19:20.66\00:19:25.83
NOT FAR FROM JERUSALEM, "WHOSE
NAME WAS JESSE, AND WHO HAD
00:19:25.86\00:19:29.43
EIGHT SONS. AND THE
MAN WAS OLD, ADVANCED
00:19:29.46\00:19:32.67
IN YEARS, IN THE DAYS OF SAUL."
- I'VE TOLD YOU NOW, JESSE WAS
00:19:32.70\00:19:36.24
BORN BEFORE SAMSON AND HE
LIVED LONG AFTER SAMSON, AND
00:19:36.27\00:19:41.54
SO HE'S UP THERE IN AGE.
AND IT SAYS, "THE THREE OLDEST
00:19:41.58\00:19:46.45
SONS OF JESSE HAD GONE TO
FOLLOW SAUL TO THE BATTLE.
00:19:46.48\00:19:49.55
THE NAMES OF HIS THREE SONS WHO
WENT TO THE BATTLE WERE ELIAB
00:19:49.58\00:19:52.39
THE FIRSTBORN, NEXT TO
HIM ABINADAB, AND THE THIRD
00:19:52.42\00:19:54.59
SHAMMAH. DAVID WAS THE YOUNGEST.
00:19:54.62\00:19:57.53
AND THE THREE
OLDEST FOLLOWED SAUL.
00:19:57.56\00:19:59.33
BUT DAVID OCCASIONALLY WENT AND
RETURNED FROM SAUL TO FEED HIS
00:19:59.36\00:20:03.90
FATHER'S SHEEP AT BETHLEHEM."
SO THE REASON THAT THE WRITER
00:20:03.93\00:20:06.80
INCLUDES THIS IS THE PREVIOUS
CHAPTER - WHERE'S DAVID?
00:20:06.84\00:20:09.04
HE'S IN THE PALACE PLAYING THE
HARP. BUT HE COULDN'T DO THAT
00:20:09.07\00:20:12.24
FULL TIME, THEY WERE
AN AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
00:20:12.27\00:20:14.84
DAVID NEEDED TO GO HOME EVERY
NOW AND THEN TO HELP WITH THE
00:20:14.88\00:20:17.28
CROPS AND TO HELP WITH THE SHEEP
AND THE SHEARING AND SO FORTH.
00:20:17.31\00:20:20.35
AND SO, SAUL, AT ONE POINT,
HE WASN'T HAVING ANY DEPRESSION
00:20:20.38\00:20:24.19
PROBLEMS, DAVID SAID, 'YOU DON'T
NEED MY MUSIC RIGHT NOW, CAN I
00:20:24.22\00:20:27.66
GO HOME AND
HELP THE FAMILY FARM?
00:20:27.69\00:20:29.62
SO THE BIBLE'S CLARIFYING HOW
DID DAVID GET BACK TO BETHLEHEM.
00:20:29.66\00:20:33.76
IT SAYS HE OCCASIONALLY WENT AND
RETURNED FROM SAUL TO FEED HIS
00:20:33.80\00:20:37.00
FATHER'S SHEEP. DAVID WAS HAPPY
OUT THERE. EVEN THOUGH HE HAD
00:20:37.03\00:20:40.74
BEEN TOLD YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE
NEXT KING, HE WAS GLAD TO GET
00:20:40.77\00:20:43.84
OUT OF THE PALACE AND ALL
THE PROBLEMS IN THE PALACE.
00:20:43.87\00:20:46.21
BUT HE WAS ALSO WORRIED BECAUSE
HE KNEW THERE WAS A WAR AND HIS
00:20:46.24\00:20:49.74
BROTHERS WERE ENGAGED IN
THE BATTLE AT THIS POINT.
00:20:49.78\00:20:53.88
SO NOW YOU HAVE
GREAT CONSTERNATION.
00:20:53.92\00:20:56.95
AND YOU CAN READ WHERE JESSE, HE
BEGINS TO WORRY ABOUT HIS SONS
00:20:56.99\00:21:00.26
THAT ARE ON THE FRONT LINES
AND HE DECIDES TO SEND DAVID.
00:21:00.29\00:21:04.33
AND IT SAYS, "AND THE PHILISTINE
DREW NEAR AND PRESENTED HIMSELF
00:21:04.36\00:21:09.46
FORTY DAYS," - JESSE SAYS TO HIS
SON - I'M IN VERSE 17 - 1 SAMUEL
00:21:09.50\00:21:14.30
CHAPTER 17, VERSE 17, "THEN
JESSE SAID TO HIS SON DAVID,
00:21:14.34\00:21:18.11
TAKE NOW FOR YOUR BROTHERS
AN EPHAH OF THIS DRIED GRAIN AND
00:21:18.14\00:21:22.28
THESE TEN LOAVES AND RUN
TO YOUR BROTHERS AT THE CAMP.
00:21:22.31\00:21:26.92
AND CARRY THESE TEN CHEESES TO
THE CAPTAIN OF THEIR THOUSANDS,
00:21:26.95\00:21:30.12
AND SEE HOW YOUR BROTHERS FARE,
AND BRING BACK NEWS OF THEM.'" -
00:21:30.15\00:21:33.89
SENT FROM THE FATHER - DAVID IS
SENT TO THE FRONT LINES FOR THIS
00:21:33.92\00:21:37.13
BATTLE. JESUS WAS
SENT FROM THE FATHER,
00:21:37.16\00:21:39.46
WITH BREAD, TO THE FRONT LINES.
YOU REMEMBER WHAT JACOB DID?
00:21:39.49\00:21:44.40
HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT HIS SONS
- HE SENDS JOSEPH - FROM THE
00:21:44.43\00:21:46.43
FATHER TO HIS SONS
TO SEEK THEIR WELFARE.
00:21:46.47\00:21:50.61
AND SO DAVID IS SENT FROM
THE FATHER AND IT GOES ON TO SAY
00:21:50.64\00:22:00.72
DAVID ARRIVES WITH HIS SUPPLIES
AND THEY WERE DRAWN UP IN BATTLE
00:22:00.75\00:22:05.45
ARRAY - VERSE 22, "AND DAVID
LEFT HIS SUPPLIES IN THE HAND OF
00:22:05.49\00:22:08.89
THE SUPPLY KEEPER, RAN TO THE
ARMY, AND CAME AND GREETED HIS
00:22:08.92\00:22:12.86
BROTHERS." - HE COMES
DOWN TO THE FRONT LINES.
00:22:12.89\00:22:14.83
HE'S THERE ON THE TMZ - "THEN AS
HE TALKED WITH THEM," - IT MAYBE
00:22:14.86\00:22:20.04
WAS TIME FOR THE MORNING TAUNT,
THE PHILISTINE, GOLIATH, COMES
00:22:20.07\00:22:25.11
OUT BY NAME. HE COMES "FROM THE
ARMIES OF THE PHILISTINES; AND
00:22:25.14\00:22:29.68
HE SPOKE ACCORDING TO THE SAME
WORDS." - HE MADE HIS THREATS -
00:22:29.71\00:22:32.55
HIS CHALLENGE AGAIN - EXCEPT
NOW SOMETHING'S VERY DIFFERENT -
00:22:32.58\00:22:35.52
DAVID, FOR THE
FIRST TIME, HEARS IT.
00:22:35.55\00:22:37.85
FOR FORTY DAYS DAVID'S
BEEN BACK WITH THE SHEEP.
00:22:37.89\00:22:41.02
AND AT THE END OF THESE FORTY
DAYS, DAVID HEARS THE TAUNTING.
00:22:41.06\00:22:46.49
DID JESUS HAVE A BATTLE, AT
THE END OF FORTY DAYS, WITH THE
00:22:46.53\00:22:51.10
DEVIL? OKAY,
JUST THINK ABOUT THAT.
00:22:51.13\00:22:56.71
AND THE MEN OF ISRAEL FLED
- I DON'T THINK DAVID FLED.
00:22:56.74\00:23:01.94
THEY WERE "DREADFULLY AFRAID.
SO THE MEN OF ISRAEL SAID, 'HAVE
00:23:01.98\00:23:06.72
YOU SEEN THIS
MAN WHO HAS COME UP?
00:23:06.75\00:23:08.38
SURELY HE HAS COME UP TO DEFY
ISRAEL; AND IT SHALL BE THAT THE
00:23:08.42\00:23:12.15
MAN WHO KILLS HIM THE KING WILL
ENRICH WITH GREAT RICHES, WILL
00:23:12.19\00:23:15.52
GIVE HIM HIS DAUGHTER, AND GIVE
HIS FATHER'S HOUSE EXEMPTION
00:23:15.56\00:23:18.49
FROM TAXES IN ISRAEL.' THEN
DAVID SPOKE TO THE MEN WHO STOOD
00:23:18.53\00:23:21.96
BY HIM, SAYING, 'WHAT SHALL BE
DONE FOR THE MAN WHO KILLS THIS
00:23:22.00\00:23:24.77
PHILISTINE AND TAKES
AWAY THE REPROACH FROM ISRAEL?
00:23:24.80\00:23:27.77
FOR WHO IS THIS UNCIRCUMCISED
PHILISTINE, THAT HE SHOULD DEFY
00:23:27.80\00:23:31.27
THE ARMIES OF THE LIVING GOD?'"
- NOT JUST DEFY THE ARMY, IT'S
00:23:31.31\00:23:34.68
DEFYING GOD, IS THE WAY
DAVID SAW IT. HE IS OUTRAGED.
00:23:34.71\00:23:39.15
THIS IS THE GREAT
CONSTERNATION. HE IS UPSET.
00:23:39.18\00:23:42.62
HE THINKS THIS IS AN OUTRAGE
THAT NOBODY HAS TAKEN UP THIS
00:23:42.65\00:23:45.72
CHALLENGE. 'LOOK, GOD'S WITH US.
00:23:45.75\00:23:47.69
GOD'S NOT WITH THEM.
WHY - WHY IS IT TAKING
00:23:47.72\00:23:49.69
SO LONG TO FIND SOMEBODY?
AND HE'S MAKING SUCH A STIR.
00:23:49.72\00:23:55.36
HE SAYS TO ANOTHER ONE,
'WHAT IS GOING TO BE DONE?'
00:23:55.40\00:23:57.50
DAVID, IN HIS MIND, HE'S ALREADY
THOUGHT, 'WELL, IF NO ONE WILL
00:23:57.53\00:23:59.83
FIGHT THEM, I'LL FIGHT
THEM. WHAT IS THE REWARD?
00:23:59.87\00:24:02.24
HE'S NOT REALLY INTERESTED
IN A REWARD, HE'S JUST CURIOUS.
00:24:02.27\00:24:05.01
THEY SAID, 'OH, SO SHALL IT BE
DONE FOR THE MAN WHO KILLS HIM.'
00:24:05.04\00:24:08.41
YOU KNOW, SOLDIERS TALK AND
THEY'RE SAYING, 'WOW, THE KING'S
00:24:08.44\00:24:10.31
GOING TO MAKE HIM RICH.
YOU GET TO MARRY THE KING'S
00:24:10.35\00:24:11.91
DAUGHTER' - THAT TURNED OUT
NOT TO BE SUCH A GOOD THING, BUT
00:24:11.95\00:24:15.48
THAT WAS PART OF THE
FRINGE BENEFITS - AND ALL THESE
00:24:15.52\00:24:18.62
SOLDIERS GATHER AROUND
DAVID. HE'S STARTING TO ROLL UP
00:24:18.65\00:24:20.99
HIS SLEEVES AND HE'S - HE'S
BEGINNING TO TAKE OUT HIS SLING
00:24:21.02\00:24:24.56
AND LOOSEN UP THE LEATHER
AND HE'S MAKING A FUSS AND THE
00:24:24.59\00:24:28.23
CROWD'S GATHERING AND ELIAB, HIS
OLDEST BROTHER, HEARS THIS, WHEN
00:24:28.26\00:24:31.60
HE SPOKE TO THE MEN,
AND HE BECOMES ANGRY.
00:24:31.63\00:24:34.74
NOW, YOU WONDER WHY
ELIAB BECOMES ANGRY.
00:24:34.77\00:24:38.74
WAS IT BECAUSE DAVID'S COURAGE
MADE HIS COWARDICE STAND OUT?
00:24:38.77\00:24:45.61
COWARDICE IS ALWAYS RESENTFUL
OF COURAGE AND ELIAB, HIS OLDER
00:24:45.65\00:24:50.79
BROTHER, HEARD WHEN HE
SPOKE THIS AND ELIAB'S ANGER WAS
00:24:50.82\00:24:53.92
AROUSED AGAINST DAVID
AND HE SAID, "WHY DID YOU
00:24:53.96\00:24:55.92
COME DOWN HERE?" - YOU
SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH
00:24:55.96\00:24:57.39
THE STUFF - "AND WITH WHOM
HAVE YOU LEFT THOSE FEW SHEEP
00:24:57.43\00:25:00.26
IN THE WILDERNESS?" -
THE BEARS ARE GOING TO PICK
00:25:00.30\00:25:02.10
THEM OFF ONE BY ONE
- WHY'D YOU LEAVE THEM?
00:25:02.13\00:25:04.10
- "I KNOW YOUR PRIDE" -
YOU'RE JUST CURIOUS AND YOU'RE
00:25:04.13\00:25:06.13
INSOLENT, YOU'VE COME DOWN
TO SEE THE BATTLE.' NOW, DID
00:25:06.17\00:25:12.07
DAVID'S BROTHERS KNOW
THAT HE HAD BEEN ANOINTED KING?
00:25:12.11\00:25:16.04
BUT THEY DIDN'T REALLY BELIEVE.
DID JESUS HAVE PROBLEMS WITH HIS
00:25:16.08\00:25:20.95
BROTHERS BELIEVING
THAT HE WAS THE MESSIAH?
00:25:20.98\00:25:24.55
DAVID'S BROTHERS DID
NOT BELIEVE AT FIRST.
00:25:24.59\00:25:29.36
JESUS' BROTHERS DID NOT BELIEVE
AT FIRST BUT, YOU KNOW, JESUS'
00:25:29.39\00:25:31.73
BROTHERS LATER CAME AROUND.
DAVID'S BROTHERS LATER BECAME
00:25:31.76\00:25:34.96
PART OF HIS ARMY AND
THEY HAD TO TAKE ORDERS FROM
00:25:35.00\00:25:38.27
THEIR YOUNGER BROTHER.
THAT WOULD BE TOUGH, HUH?
00:25:38.30\00:25:41.07
BUT THEY EVENTUALLY
REALIZED GOD HAS CALLED HIM.
00:25:41.10\00:25:45.17
SO ELIAB'S GIVING HIM A HARD
TIME AND HE SAID, 'YOU COME DOWN
00:25:45.21\00:25:50.38
HERE; YOU'RE JUST
CURIOUS. I KNOW YOU.
00:25:50.41\00:25:53.05
YOU ALWAYS WANT TO BE IN THE
MIDDLE OF EVERYTHING.' AND DAVID
00:25:53.08\00:25:55.82
SAID, 'WHAT HAVE I
DONE? I'M JUST ASKING.
00:25:55.85\00:25:58.95
I JUST BROUGHT THE FOOD.'
AND THEN HE ASKS THIS GREAT
00:25:58.99\00:26:02.02
QUESTION: "IS
THERE NOT A CAUSE?"
00:26:02.06\00:26:06.09
HE SAYS, 'ISN'T THERE
A REASON TO BE OUTRAGED?
00:26:06.13\00:26:09.40
DON'T YOU CARE THAT WE'RE BEING
TAUNTED BY THE ENEMY DAY AFTER
00:26:09.43\00:26:13.84
DAY? DO YOU WANT
TO BE THEIR SLAVES?
00:26:13.87\00:26:16.97
ISN'T ANYBODY
PREPARING TO FIGHT?
00:26:17.01\00:26:19.04
IS ANYONE TALKING
ABOUT GETTING READY TO FIGHT?
00:26:19.07\00:26:21.71
WE'RE JUST
RUNNING?' - HE SAW THE MEN
00:26:21.74\00:26:23.11
RUNNING FROM FEAR.
"IS THERE NOT A CAUSE?"
00:26:23.14\00:26:27.28
GOD'S GIVEN US A
CAUSE, AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:26:27.32\00:26:29.98
>>CHRISTIANITY, WE HAVE A
MESSAGE - WE HAVE A FIGHT THAT
00:26:30.02\00:26:32.82
WE ARE TO BE ARMED
FOR. THEN HE TURNED
00:26:32.85\00:26:36.06
FROM HIS BROTHERS. HE
SAID, 'I'M NOT GOING TO LET
00:26:36.09\00:26:37.46
YOU DISCOURAGE ME.' THEN HE
TALKS TO ANOTHER SOLDIER AND HE
00:26:37.49\00:26:39.59
SAYS THE SAME THING - AND
THEY ANSWERED HIM THE SAME WAY.
00:26:39.63\00:26:42.43
AND THERE'S A BIGGER AND BIGGER
GROUP COMING AROUND BECAUSE, FOR
00:26:42.46\00:26:45.00
THE FIRST TIME, SOMEBODY HAS HAD
THE AUDACITY TO SAY, 'OH REALLY?
00:26:45.03\00:26:49.57
THERE'S A REWARD? THEY LOOK LIKE
THEY'RE READY TO FIGHT. HE'S
00:26:49.60\00:26:53.14
ISSUED A CHALLENGE. SOMEONE'S
GOT TO TAKE HIM UP. I DON'T SEE
00:26:53.17\00:26:55.88
ANYBODY. FORTY DAYS HE'S BEEN
DOING THIS TWICE A DAY? NOBODY'S
00:26:55.91\00:26:59.51
WILLING TO FIGHT?' AND IT
CREATES A STIR THAT THERE'S THIS
00:26:59.55\00:27:04.32
WHIPPERSNAPPER FROM BETHLEHEM
- DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ARMOR - WHO
00:27:04.35\00:27:09.12
SAYS, 'I'LL FIGHT THE GIANT' AND
HE'S ALREADY ASKING ABOUT THE
00:27:09.16\00:27:12.96
REWARD. AND FINALLY, THE WORDS
THAT HE SPOKE AND THE STIR THAT
00:27:12.99\00:27:20.24
HE MADE, IT REACHES THE KING.
AND DAVID SAYS TO SAUL - THIS IS
00:27:20.27\00:27:25.21
NOW - WE'VE GONE FROM THE
GREAT CONTRAST, TO THE GREAT
00:27:25.24\00:27:27.64
CONSTERNATION, NOW THE GREAT
COURAGE. THEY BRING HIM TO THE
00:27:27.68\00:27:30.91
KING AND IN VERSE 32 DAVID SAYS
TO SAUL, "LET NO MAN'S HEART
00:27:30.95\00:27:35.35
FAIL BECAUSE OF HIM; YOUR
SERVANT WILL GO AND FIGHT WITH
00:27:35.38\00:27:38.95
THIS PHILISTINE." HE HAS THIS
GREAT CONFIDENCE. NOW, YOU KNOW,
00:27:38.99\00:27:42.69
SAUL SAYS, 'WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GOING TO' - NOW SAUL
00:27:42.72\00:27:46.76
KNOWS DAVID - NOW, HE DOESN'T
KNOW HIM WELL, BUT, YOU KNOW, HE
00:27:46.80\00:27:48.93
KNOWS HE WAS IN THE COURT AND HE
WAS PLAYING FOR HIM AND HE SAYS,
00:27:48.96\00:27:53.20
'DON'T LET YOUR HEART FAIL' -
AND SAUL SAYS, IN VERSE 33, "YOU
00:27:53.23\00:27:56.87
ARE NOT ABLE TO GO AGAINST THIS
PHILISTINE TO FIGHT WITH HIM;
00:27:56.91\00:28:00.48
FOR YOU ARE A YOUTH, AND HE
A MAN OF WAR FROM HIS YOUTH."
00:28:00.51\00:28:05.01
BUT THEN DAVID NOW BEGINS TO
EXHIBIT GREAT CONFIDENCE AND HE
00:28:05.05\00:28:08.92
USES EVIDENCE FOR HIS
FAITH. DAVID HAD GREAT FAITH.
00:28:08.95\00:28:12.79
HIS FAITH IS NOT IN
HIM, HIS FAITH IS IN GOD.
00:28:12.82\00:28:15.26
BUT HE HAS
EVIDENCE FOR HIS FAITH.
00:28:15.29\00:28:17.39
"BUT DAVID SAID TO SAUL,
'YOUR SERVANT USED TO KEEP HIS
00:28:17.43\00:28:20.90
FATHER'S SHEEP, AND WHEN A LION
OR A BEAR'" - THERE WERE LIONS
00:28:20.93\00:28:25.97
AND BEARS BACK IN THAT COUNTRY
BEFORE THEY WERE ALL RENDERED
00:28:26.00\00:28:29.50
EXTINCT - "'CAME AND TOOK A
LAMB OUT OF THE FLOCK, I WENT
00:28:29.54\00:28:34.08
OUT AFTER IT AND STRUCK
IT," - HE DIDN'T USE A SLING.
00:28:34.11\00:28:40.52
HE EITHER USED HIS HANDS - THE
WAY THE HEBREW IS, HE USED HIS
00:28:40.55\00:28:43.18
HANDS OR A STICK - OR USED
A CLUB - "AND WHEN IT AROSE
00:28:43.22\00:28:47.26
AGAINST ME" - HE STRUCK IT AND
IT AROSE AND TURNED - WHEN HE
00:28:47.29\00:28:50.53
KNOCKED THE CALF OUT OF ITS
MOUTH - OR THE KID OUT OF ITS
00:28:50.56\00:28:53.46
MOUTH - "I CAUGHT IT BY ITS
BEARD, AND STRUCK AND KILLED
00:28:53.50\00:28:57.13
IT." WELL,
THAT'S KIND OF LIKE WHEN
00:28:57.17\00:29:00.20
SAMSON - IT SAYS HE TOOK THE
LION - THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD
00:29:00.24\00:29:03.41
CAME ON AND HE TORE IT
LIKE A KID - LIKE A GOAT.
00:29:03.44\00:29:07.24
NOW, YOU MIGHT THINK, 'OH,
THIS IS JUST ONE OF THEM BIBLE
00:29:07.28\00:29:10.58
STORIES' BUT,
ACTUALLY, IT DOES HAPPEN.
00:29:10.61\00:29:17.75
OCTOBER 2008 - JIM WEST WAS OUT
WALKING IN THE WOODS OF BRITISH
00:29:17.79\00:29:22.02
COLOMBIA, CANADA WHEN HE
HEARD A NOISE BEHIND HIM.
00:29:22.06\00:29:24.63
BEFORE HE KNEW WHAT HAPPENED,
HE WAS BEING ATTACKED BY A
00:29:24.66\00:29:26.39
FULL-GROWN BLACK BEAR.
KNOCKED TO THE GROUND, THE
00:29:26.43\00:29:29.16
45-YEAR-OLD MAN LAY ON
HIS STOMACH TRYING TO PROTECT
00:29:29.20\00:29:31.63
HIMSELF AS THE BEAR CLAWED AND
BIT HIM ABOUT THE HEAD AND BACK.
00:29:31.67\00:29:35.97
EVENTUALLY, HE WRESTLED FREE
AND HE STRUGGLED TO HIS FEET.
00:29:36.00\00:29:38.57
THE BEAR BACKED
OFF FOR A MOMENT.
00:29:38.61\00:29:41.18
HE GRABBED A LARGE STICK AND
WHEN THE BEAR APPROACHED AGAIN,
00:29:41.21\00:29:43.85
HE CLOBBERED IT ON THE HEAD.
SEEING THAT THE BEAR WAS DAZED -
00:29:43.88\00:29:48.38
HE WAS AFRAID TO
STOP SO HE KEPT SWINGING.
00:29:48.42\00:29:51.39
SOON THE BEAR STAGGERED AND
COLLAPSED, BLEEDING FROM ITS
00:29:51.42\00:29:53.92
NOSE, AND DIED.
CONSERVATION OFFICIALS FOUND THE
00:29:53.96\00:29:57.23
BEAR AND VERIFIED THE STORY,
NOT TO MENTION, DOCTORS GAVE HIM
00:29:57.26\00:30:00.70
SIXTY-SIX STITCHES TO
PROVE HIS CLOSE ENCOUNTER.
00:30:00.73\00:30:04.77
SO CAN A MAN KILL
A BEAR WITH A STICK?
00:30:04.80\00:30:08.57
IT HAPPENED IN
2008 UP IN CANADA.
00:30:08.60\00:30:11.14
BUT DAVID DIDN'T EVEN GET
ANY STITCHES, THAT WE KNOW OF.
00:30:11.17\00:30:14.81
AND SO HE BEGINS TO TELL SAUL,
'YOUR SERVANT WENT OUT AND I
00:30:14.84\00:30:19.28
FOUGHT A LION AND I FOUGHT A
BEAR AND THE LORD DELIVERED ME
00:30:19.31\00:30:26.05
FROM THE LION AND THE BEAR'.
00:30:26.09\00:30:28.22
AND IT SAYS, "YOUR SERVANT"
- VERSE 36 - "'HAS KILLED BOTH
00:30:28.26\00:30:30.63
LION AND BEAR; AND THIS
UNCIRCUMCISED PHILISTINE" - HE'S
00:30:30.66\00:30:33.36
A LITTLE BIGGER, BUT HE'LL "BE
LIKE ONE OF THEM, SEEING HE HAS
00:30:33.40\00:30:36.97
DEFIED THE ARMIES OF THE LIVING
GOD.' MOREOVER DAVID SAID, 'THE
00:30:37.00\00:30:41.94
LORD, WHO DELIVERED ME FROM THE
PAW OF THE LION AND FROM THE PAW
00:30:41.97\00:30:45.34
OF THE BEAR, HE WILL DELIVER ME
FROM THIS PHILISTINE.' AND SAUL
00:30:45.37\00:30:49.68
SAID TO DAVID, 'GO, AND THE LORD
BE WITH YOU.'" YOU KNOW, DAVID
00:30:49.71\00:30:55.05
WAS BASICALLY SAYING, 'I CAN
LOOK BACK AND SEE THE EVIDENCE
00:30:55.08\00:30:58.62
OF HOW GOD HAS BLESSED IN
THE PAST AND GIVEN ME VICTORY.
00:30:58.65\00:31:02.32
AND, BASED ON PAST EVIDENCE
OF GOD HELPING ME WITH THOSE
00:31:02.36\00:31:06.26
THINGS, I BELIEVE HE
CAN HELP ME WITH THIS.
00:31:06.29\00:31:08.86
ISN'T THAT HOW FAITH SHOULD
WORK? DO YOU HAVE EVIDENCE OF
00:31:08.90\00:31:11.57
ANSWERED PRAYERS IN YOUR LIFE?
HOW MANY TIMES HAS THE LORD
00:31:11.60\00:31:16.14
RESCUED YOU AND
PROVIDED FOR YOU?
00:31:16.17\00:31:19.04
THE FACT YOU'RE HERE MEANS
HE'S BEEN PROVIDING FOR YOU.
00:31:19.07\00:31:21.98
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU HAD SOME
TRIAL AND YOU PRAYED AND YOU
00:31:22.01\00:31:24.68
START GOING THROUGH SOME
DEEP VALLEY THAT GIANT'S BEEN
00:31:24.71\00:31:26.98
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOU AND THE
LORD GAVE YOU AN ANSWER AND THE
00:31:27.02\00:31:29.62
LORD GAVE YOU AN OUT AND
HE OVERCAME YOUR PROBLEMS?
00:31:29.65\00:31:31.35
WE FORGET, DON'T
WE, THE MIRACLES OF GOD.
00:31:31.39\00:31:35.02
IF WE MAKE A BOOK AND JUST
WRITE DOWN THE RECORD - DAVID
00:31:35.06\00:31:38.53
REMEMBERED THE THINGS THAT
GOD HAD DONE TO DELIVER HIM AND,
00:31:38.56\00:31:42.06
BASED ON THE EVIDENCE OF WHAT
GOD HAD HELPED HIM WITH IN THE
00:31:42.10\00:31:45.83
PAST, HE BELIEVED HE WOULD
HELP HIM IN THE FUTURE - THAT'S
00:31:45.87\00:31:48.60
FAITH. FAITH IS
BASED ON PAST EVIDENCE.
00:31:48.64\00:31:52.24
AND HE SAID, 'I HAVE FAITH
IN GOD.' THAT THAT SAME GOD THAT
00:31:52.27\00:31:54.84
HAD WORKED A MIRACLE - BECAUSE
IT'S A MIRACLE WHEN YOU GET
00:31:54.88\00:31:57.05
SAVED FROM A LION OR A
BEAR - A MAN WITHOUT, YOU KNOW,
00:31:57.08\00:32:00.72
ARTILLERY. THAT
SAME GOD, I BELIEVE,
00:32:00.75\00:32:03.85
CAN WORK A MIRACLE. AND
SAUL, HE SAID, 'LOOK, THIS
00:32:03.89\00:32:08.16
HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH, OKAY?
WE'VE GOT TO SEND SOMEBODY.' AND
00:32:08.19\00:32:12.13
WHO KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS
THINKING. SAUL MIGHT HAVE BEEN
00:32:12.16\00:32:14.96
THINKING, 'WELL, IF WE SEND OUT
OUR BEST SOLDIER AND THEY KILL
00:32:15.00\00:32:18.53
HIM, IT'S GOING TO LOOK BAD.
IF WE SEND OUT A BOY AND THEY
00:32:18.57\00:32:23.54
KILL HIM, WE LOSE, BUT THEY'RE
GOING TO FEEL BAD ABOUT IT.
00:32:23.57\00:32:26.78
IT'S KIND OF LIKE, 'WELL, I
DIDN'T WANT TO WIN ANYWAY.'' AND
00:32:26.81\00:32:33.72
SO, FOR WHATEVER REASON,
HE SAID, 'SURE, WE'LL SEND YOU
00:32:33.75\00:32:35.42
OUT.' AND HE SAYS, 'THE LORD
BE WITH YOU.' BUT, YOU KNOW, I
00:32:35.45\00:32:40.62
DON'T WANT TO RUSH PAST THAT
POINT THAT KING SAUL SAID, 'YOU
00:32:40.66\00:32:44.56
GO FIGHT AND THE LORD BE WITH
YOU' BECAUSE IT IS - JESUS SAID
00:32:44.59\00:32:48.50
TO US, 'GO AND I WILL BE
WITH YOU.' ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:32:48.53\00:32:53.10
'GO INTO ALL THE
WORLD AND I'LL BE WITH YOU.'
00:32:53.13\00:32:56.17
SO THEN - IT COULD BE
DAVID WAS ALSO INSPIRED.
00:32:56.20\00:33:00.24
DID DAVID KNOW THE STORY
ABOUT JONATHAN KILLING THE
00:33:00.28\00:33:02.34
PHILISTINES? HE WAS
MAYBE INSPIRED TO THAT.
00:33:02.38\00:33:05.41
DAVID, NO DOUBT, HEARD THE
STORIES ABOUT SAMSON - MAYBE
00:33:05.45\00:33:08.82
THAT'S WHY HE TOOK OFF
AFTER THE BEAR AND THE LION.
00:33:08.85\00:33:12.22
SO DAVID HEARD THESE THINGS
AND IT INSPIRED HIS FAITH.
00:33:12.25\00:33:15.19
DAVID, HEARING THE
WORD, INSPIRED HIM.
00:33:15.22\00:33:18.16
HE THEN HAD HIS OWN EXPERIENCE
IN VICTORY BECAUSE HE HAD HEARD
00:33:18.19\00:33:20.80
THE STORIES FROM JESSE
ABOUT SAMSON AND JONATHAN.
00:33:20.83\00:33:25.30
HE BELIEVED IT AND HE
LIVED IT OUT IN HIS LIFE.
00:33:25.33\00:33:29.20
SO THEN SAUL SAYS, 'GO AND THE
LORD BE WITH YOU.' JESUS SAYS TO
00:33:29.24\00:33:32.11
US, 'GO AND I'LL BE WITH
YOU.' NOW, GOING TO ANOTHER "C",
00:33:32.14\00:33:36.88
THEY MAKE THE MISTAKE OF TRYING
TO USE CARNAL CLOTHING TO FIGHT
00:33:36.91\00:33:39.95
A SPIRITUAL BATTLE. SAUL
SAYS TO DAVID, 'HERE, YOU
00:33:39.98\00:33:44.52
PUT ON MY ARMOR' - I'M IN VERSE
38 - HE "CLOTHED DAVID WITH
00:33:44.55\00:33:48.29
HIS ARMOR, AND HE PUT A BRONZE
HELMET ON HIS HEAD; HE ALSO
00:33:48.32\00:33:52.09
CLOTHED HIM
WITH A COAT OF MAIL."
00:33:52.13\00:33:54.20
AND DAVID MIGHT HAVE BEEN
THINKING, 'LOOK, IF YOUR ARMOR
00:33:54.20\00:33:57.10
IS SO GOOD, HOW COME
YOU'RE NOT WEARING IT?'
00:33:57.13\00:33:59.30
(LAUGHTER) AND HE PUT ON HIS
SWORD TO HIS ARMOR AND HE TRIED
00:33:59.33\00:34:05.01
TO WALK - NOW, ASSUMING THIS WAS
SAUL'S ARMOR AND SAUL'S A HEAD
00:34:05.04\00:34:08.61
AND SHOULDERS TALLER THAN
EVERYBODY ELSE, AND DAVID,
00:34:08.64\00:34:10.41
EVIDENTLY WASN'T THAT TALL
BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS THAT
00:34:10.45\00:34:13.98
SAMUEL WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE
HEIGHT AND STATURE OF ELIAB BUT
00:34:14.02\00:34:17.82
NOT WITH DAVID, WHICH MEANS
HE'S NOT EVEN AS TALL AS ELIAB.
00:34:17.85\00:34:22.49
YOU EVER SEEN, YOU KNOW, A
LITTLE GIRL PUT ON HER MOM'S
00:34:22.52\00:34:25.26
DRESS AND HER HAT AND HER HIGH
HEELED SHOES AND TRY TO WALK
00:34:25.29\00:34:28.93
AROUND? IT'S KIND
OF CUTE AND THEY GET
00:34:28.96\00:34:30.43
TWO STEPS AND THEY
FALL ON THEIR FACE.
00:34:30.47\00:34:32.47
HERE DAVID PUTS ON SAUL'S ARMOR,
YOU KNOW, HE SAYS HE TRIED TO
00:34:32.50\00:34:36.14
WALK - FORGET ABOUT FIGHTING,
HE CAN'T EVEN WALK IN IT.
00:34:36.17\00:34:41.34
AND HIS HEAD'S PROBABLY STICKING
OUT - HE'S LOOKING EYE LEVEL
00:34:41.38\00:34:43.31
THROUGH THE NECK HOLE OF SAUL'S
ARMOR, YOU KNOW, AND HE'S GOT
00:34:43.35\00:34:45.98
THIS HELMET KIND OF OFF,
DRIFTING TO THE PORT SIDE AND
00:34:46.01\00:34:50.22
HE'S DRAGGING HIS SWORD
AND HE'S GOING, 'LOOK, NOTHING
00:34:50.25\00:34:52.89
DISRESPECTFUL, BUT
THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK.
00:34:52.92\00:34:55.19
AND MAYBE SAUL WAS THINKING, 'IF
I PUT MY ARMOR OUT IT'LL LOOK
00:34:55.22\00:34:58.89
LIKE AT LEAST THE KING IS COMING
OUT TO FIGHT.' HE'S TRYING TO
00:34:58.93\00:35:03.40
GET SOME - 'AND IF HE WINS
WEARING MY ARMOR' - SAUL IS
00:35:03.43\00:35:06.20
THINKING - 'THEN
I GET SOME CREDIT.
00:35:06.23\00:35:07.94
IT'LL BE THE ARMOR THAT WON THE
BATTLE.' YOU SEE, I THINK THAT'S
00:35:07.97\00:35:10.91
VALID. I THINK
THAT SAUL - ONE REASON
00:35:10.94\00:35:14.08
THAT GOD DID NOT LET DAVID WEAR
SAUL'S ARMOR IS BECAUSE IF DAVID
00:35:14.11\00:35:17.05
HAD WON WEARING SAUL'S
ARMOR, GUESS WHAT WOULD HAVE
00:35:17.08\00:35:18.98
GOTTEN THE CREDIT? SAUL'S ARMOR.
00:35:19.01\00:35:21.85
BUT DAVID DOESN'T GO OUT WITH
ANYTHING BUT TRUSTING THE LORD.
00:35:21.88\00:35:25.52
YOU'LL SEE WHAT I'M
SAYING IN JUST A MOMENT.
00:35:25.55\00:35:27.46
SO HE PUTS ON THIS CARNAL
CLOTHING AND, FINALLY, DAVID
00:35:27.49\00:35:31.06
SAID, 'I CANNOT WALK WITH THESE.
I'VE NOT TESTED IT.' HE DOESN'T
00:35:31.09\00:35:36.80
WANT TO OFFEND THE KING. 'I
HAVEN'T PROVEN IT.' AND DAVID
00:35:36.83\00:35:40.27
TOOK THEM OFF - DIDN'T
WANT TO BE RUDE TO THE KING, BUT
00:35:40.30\00:35:44.17
HE ALSO DIDN'T WANT TO
DIE. AND DAVID HAD ANOTHER
00:35:44.21\00:35:47.48
KIND OF ARMOR, DIDN'T HE?
HE HAD THE ARMOR OF GOD ON.
00:35:47.51\00:35:52.61
SO NOW YOU GO TO CAREFUL
COLLECTION THIS IS IN VERSE 40
00:35:52.65\00:35:58.05
SO HE STARTS HEADING
OFF TOWARDS THE FRONT LINES.
00:35:58.09\00:36:00.99
HE TAKES HIS STAFF IN HIS HAND,
DON'T MISS THAT, AND HE CHOSE
00:36:01.02\00:36:05.03
FOR HIMSELF FIVE SMOOTH STONES
FROM THE BOOK - FROM THE BROOK -
00:36:05.06\00:36:10.30
FROM THE BOOK (LAUGHTER) THAT'S
WHAT YOU CALL A FREUDIAN SLIP
00:36:10.33\00:36:14.37
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I MEANT.
WHAT DO THOSE STONES REPRESENT?
00:36:14.40\00:36:20.18
HE THAT HEARS THESE WORDS OF
MINE IS BUILDING ON THE - ROCK.
00:36:20.21\00:36:25.25
AND WHAT IS IT THAT BRINGS DOWN
THAT IDOL - THE FALSE GODS - IN
00:36:25.28\00:36:29.48
DANIEL CHAPTER 2? A GREAT STONE.
00:36:29.52\00:36:34.49
SO HE TAKES FIVE STONES FROM THE
CREEK AND - CAN YOU JUST PICTURE
00:36:34.52\00:36:38.66
THIS, YOU KNOW?
YOU'VE GOT THE ARMIES - ONE
00:36:38.69\00:36:40.86
MOUNTAIN - OTHER ARMY, OTHER
MOUNTAIN - BIG VALLEY BETWEEN.
00:36:40.90\00:36:46.20
WORD IS NOW SPREADING THROUGH
THE ISRAELI CAMP THAT 'WE FOUND
00:36:46.23\00:36:50.91
SOMEONE TO FIGHT!' 'WHO IS
IT?' 'IT'S A SHEPHERD BOY.' AND
00:36:50.94\00:36:55.44
THERE'S ALWAYS A GAMBLER IN THE
GROUP WHO SAYS, 'ALRIGHT, I'LL
00:36:55.48\00:36:57.81
GIVE YOU ODDS - FIFTY TO ONE
- FIFTY TO ONE HE'S NOT GOING TO
00:36:57.85\00:37:01.98
MAKE IT.' AND SO THEY'RE ALL
TAKING UP THEIR BETS AND THEY'RE
00:37:02.02\00:37:06.02
PROBABLY ALL
BETTING AGAINST DAVID.
00:37:06.05\00:37:08.42
AND THEY SEE HIM GO DOWN AND
HE CALMLY STOPS AND HE'S SIFTING
00:37:08.46\00:37:12.19
THROUGH THE ROCKS IN THE BROOK
AND HE'S CAREFULLY SELECTING
00:37:12.23\00:37:14.83
ROCKS OF A CERTAIN SIZE, A
CERTAIN SHAPE, AND - WHAT YOU
00:37:14.86\00:37:18.37
MAY NOT KNOW - OF
A CERTAIN DENSITY.
00:37:18.40\00:37:21.40
NOW IF YOU GO TO THAT PART OF
THE COUNTRY, THEY'VE GOT THESE
00:37:21.44\00:37:24.27
ROCKS, THEY'RE SPECIAL SLINGING
STONES IN THE VALLEY THAT HAVE A
00:37:24.31\00:37:29.54
HIGH PERCENTAGE OF, LIKE A
BELIUM, AND IT MAKES THEM VERY
00:37:29.58\00:37:37.02
HEAVY. YEAH, IT'S
BARIUM SULFATE, WHICH
00:37:37.05\00:37:40.32
HAS A MASS DENSITY OF 4.2 GRAMS.
WHEN YOU THROW ONE OF THOSE
00:37:40.36\00:37:46.73
- YOU KNOW, THE REASON THAT
BULLETS HURT SO MUCH IS THEY'RE
00:37:46.76\00:37:49.23
MADE OF LEAD - LEAD IS
VERY HEAVY - IT INCREASES
00:37:49.26\00:37:51.57
THE STOPPING VELOCITY.
AND IF YOU GOT HIT BY ONE OF
00:37:51.60\00:37:56.44
THESE STONES, IT COULD
REALLY HURT, TO PUT IT MILDLY.
00:37:56.47\00:38:01.44
MATTER OF FACT, MAYBE THIS WOULD
BE A TIME FOR ME TO - YOU KNOW,
00:38:01.48\00:38:06.41
WE'VE GOT SOME PROPS
HERE - THIS IS A SLING.
00:38:06.45\00:38:10.45
THE WAY THAT A SLING WORKS -
YOU TAKE A BASKETBALL - A LITTLE
00:38:10.49\00:38:15.86
BASKETBALL - WHEN YOU THROW
WITH YOUR ARM - HOW FAST CAN A
00:38:15.89\00:38:22.13
PITCHER THROW? A
HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR.
00:38:22.16\00:38:25.27
YOU EVER BEEN HIT BY A
PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL PITCH?
00:38:25.30\00:38:29.84
HAVE ANY OF YOU EVER SEEN WHAT
HAPPENS TO PROFESSIONALS THAT
00:38:29.87\00:38:32.27
GET HIT
SOMETIMES? IT REALLY HURTS.
00:38:32.31\00:38:35.58
SOME OF THEM HAVE
BEEN KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS.
00:38:35.61\00:38:38.01
SOME OF THEM HAVE BROKEN BONES
BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN HIT BY A
00:38:38.05\00:38:40.02
FAST BALL THROWN BY AN ARM.
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE USING THE
00:38:40.05\00:38:44.02
CENTRIFUGAL FORCE
OF THE ARM THROWING.
00:38:44.05\00:38:46.35
SO, WHEN YOU HAVE A SLING - AND
SLINGS COULD BE LONGER THAN THIS
00:38:46.39\00:38:49.09
ONE - YOU'VE
GREATLY INCREASED THAT.
00:38:49.12\00:38:53.96
WHAT THEY DO IS THEY TAKE
ONE OF THESE STONES - AND A GOOD
00:38:54.00\00:38:58.90
SLINGER - YOU CAN READ IN
THE BIBLE, THERE WERE MEN IN
00:38:58.93\00:39:02.70
BETHLEHEM - I'VE NOT TRIED
THIS YET - I'VE NOT PROVED IT
00:39:02.74\00:39:06.11
(LAUGHTER) - YOU BETTER
- THOSE IN THE FRONT ROW
00:39:06.14\00:39:11.61
(LAUGHTER) >>RUN.
00:39:11.65\00:39:14.48
>>BUT THE IDEA IS - AND I THINK
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO - AND THEN
00:39:14.52\00:39:19.05
YOU (LAUGHTER) - WELL,
DON'T SEND ME AGAINST GOLIATH
00:39:19.09\00:39:23.49
(LAUGHTER) - OH YOU DON'T -
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO GO ROUND AND
00:39:23.53\00:39:28.30
ROUND? NO, NO, YOU REALLY DON'T.
ACTUALLY, YOU CAN SEE EXAMPLES
00:39:28.33\00:39:32.83
OF PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO SLING.
NOW, THE KIDS THAT WEREN'T
00:39:32.87\00:39:36.27
PAYING ATTENTION A MINUTE AGO,
I'VE GOT THEIR ATTENTION NOW.
00:39:36.30\00:39:39.91
BUT YOU'LL HAVE THIS ONE - OFTEN
HAS A PIECE OF LEATHER THAT TIES
00:39:39.94\00:39:42.78
AROUND THE FINGER SO ACTUALLY
IT'S SOLID, AND THEN YOU PINCH
00:39:42.81\00:39:46.68
THE OTHER SIDE
AND YOU LET IT GO.
00:39:46.72\00:39:52.09
WE MADE THOSE OUT OF SMALL STUFF
SO THAT NOBODY WOULD GET HURT.
00:39:52.12\00:39:54.12
BUT I WANTED YOU TO
VISUALIZE - THIS IS ALL HE HAD.
00:39:54.16\00:39:56.06
THIS AND HE HAD
WHAT ELSE IN HIS HAND?
00:39:56.09\00:39:58.09
>>STAFF. >>A STAFF.
00:39:58.13\00:39:59.66
THEY WERE BIGGER THAN THAT
BECAUSE THEY COULD USE IT FOR
00:39:59.69\00:40:01.13
WALLOPING A WOLF OR SOMETHING.
SO HE STOPS AND HE STARTS
00:40:01.16\00:40:05.03
FISHING THROUGH THE BROOK
AND HE PICKS FIVE - WHY FIVE?
00:40:05.07\00:40:10.04
PASTORS LOVE TO TELL THE
STORY 'BECAUSE GOLIATH HAD FOUR
00:40:10.07\00:40:12.61
BROTHERS AND AFTER HE KILLED
GOLIATH HE WAS GOING TO KILL THE
00:40:12.64\00:40:14.61
FOUR BROTHERS.' AND IT
SOUNDS GOOD - PROBABLY NOT WHY.
00:40:14.64\00:40:18.41
I THINK HE TOOK FIVE STONES
BECAUSE, I MEAN, AND EVEN A
00:40:18.45\00:40:21.85
COWBOY WANTS A SIX SHOOTER -
IN CASE YOU MISS WITH THE FIRST
00:40:21.88\00:40:24.15
ONE, RIGHT? AND,
NOT ONLY THAT, BUT
00:40:24.19\00:40:27.92
WHAT DOES FIVE REPRESENT?
THE JEWS CALLED THE LAW THE
00:40:27.96\00:40:32.39
PENTATEUCH,
BECAUSE THERE'S FIVE BOOKS.
00:40:32.43\00:40:36.33
YOU REMEMBER IN THE STORY OF THE
RICH MAN AND LAZARUS HE SAID,
00:40:36.36\00:40:39.80
'FOR I HAVE FIVE BROTHERS IN MY
FATHER'S HOUSE' - FIVE WAS OFTEN
00:40:39.83\00:40:43.00
A SYMBOL FOR THE WORD OF GOD
- BECAUSE OF THE FIVE BOOKS OF
00:40:43.04\00:40:46.17
MOSES. SO, AGAIN,
IT'S A SYMBOL FOR THE WORD.
00:40:46.21\00:40:48.41
HE TAKES THESE FIVE STONES,
HE PUTS THEM IN HIS SHEPHERD'S
00:40:48.44\00:40:51.35
POUCH AS HE
PREPARES TO GO OUT TO BATTLE.
00:40:51.38\00:40:55.28
AND, YOU KNOW, CAN YOU IMAGINE
THE LOOK ON GOLIATH'S FACE?
00:40:55.32\00:40:59.95
THERE'S A STIR AND THEY SEE A
YOUNG BOY COMING DOWN AND THEY
00:41:00.06\00:41:03.19
THINK THAT HE'S COMING TO FIGHT.
AND, FINALLY, GOLIATH REALIZES
00:41:03.22\00:41:10.70
HE'S NOT COMING TO TALK - HE
THOUGHT HE WAS A MESSENGER - HE
00:41:10.73\00:41:13.97
SEES A STICK, HE SEES
THE FIRE IN HIS EYE, HE'S GOT
00:41:14.00\00:41:16.47
A SLING IN HIS HAND. HE
SAYS, 'HE'S COMING TO FIGHT
00:41:16.50\00:41:18.81
WITH ME.' NOW YOU HAVE -
POINT 11 - GREAT CURSING .
00:41:18.84\00:41:24.25
GOLIATH THINKS THAT HE'S GOING
TO INTIMIDATE DAVID WITH THE
00:41:24.28\00:41:28.05
SAME KIND OF WORDS
THAT HE'S USED BEFORE.
00:41:28.08\00:41:30.79
AND IT SAYS HERE THAT WHEN THE
PHILISTINE LOOKED ABOUT AND HE
00:41:30.82\00:41:39.59
SAW DAVID - HE THOUGHT
DAVID WAS LEADING SOMEONE ELSE.
00:41:39.63\00:41:42.06
HE LOOKED OUT AND HE
SAID, 'YOU COMING ALONE?
00:41:42.10\00:41:44.33
YOU?' HE "...LOOKED ABOUT AND
SAW DAVID HE DISDAINED HIM, FOR
00:41:44.37\00:41:49.54
HE WAS ONLY A YOUTH, RUDDY
AND" - WORST OF ALL HE WAS -
00:41:49.57\00:41:52.61
"GOOD LOOKING." HE WAS
CUTE - 'I'M GOING TO KILL HIM.'
00:41:52.64\00:41:56.91
AND SO THE PHILISTINE
BEGINS TO CURSE AND HE SAID TO
00:41:56.95\00:42:00.32
DAVID, "'AM I A DOG THAT
YOU COME TO ME WITH STICKS?'
00:42:00.35\00:42:05.29
AND THE PHILISTINE
CURSED DAVID BY HIS GODS."
00:42:05.32\00:42:07.76
HE BEGAN TO STOMP AND
TO WRITHE AND TO CARRY ON.
00:42:07.79\00:42:12.19
1 SAMUEL 17:45, "THEN DAVID SAID
TO THE PHILISTINE, 'YOU COME TO
00:42:12.23\00:42:16.63
ME'" - AND THIS WAS OUR
SCRIPTURE READING - "YOU COME TO
00:42:16.67\00:42:18.93
ME WITH A SWORD, WITH A
SPEAR, AND WITH A JAVELIN.
00:42:18.97\00:42:22.30
BUT I COME TO YOU IN THE NAME
OF THE LORD OF HOSTS," - NOW DID
00:42:22.34\00:42:25.11
DAVID HAVE A COUPLE OF
WEAPONS? HE HAD A SLING.
00:42:25.14\00:42:28.88
HE HAD A STICK, BUT HE DIDN'T
SEE THAT HE WAS GOING INTO THE
00:42:28.91\00:42:32.15
BATTLE. HE WASN'T
TRUSTING THOSE THINGS.
00:42:32.18\00:42:33.85
IF HE HAD TO THROW THOSE ASIDE,
GOD WILL HELP HIM KILL GOLIATH
00:42:33.88\00:42:37.49
WITH HIS BARE HANDS.
HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW GOD
00:42:37.52\00:42:40.09
WAS GOING TO DO IT.
SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GO OFF AND
00:42:40.12\00:42:43.19
YOU MAKE A DECISION,
'I'M GOING TO DO GOD'S WILL.
00:42:43.22\00:42:45.19
I'M GOING TO FIGHT THE GIANT'
- YOU MAY NOT EVEN KNOW HOW.
00:42:45.23\00:42:48.36
IF YOU KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS
GOD'S WILL, THEN YOU NEED TO GO
00:42:48.40\00:42:52.10
FORWARD AND
FIGHT. NOW, WHO IS THE
00:42:52.13\00:42:56.60
GIANT THAT WE FIGHT? SATAN.
00:42:56.64\00:43:00.04
AND WHAT IS IT THAT
WE'RE FIGHTING AGAINST?
00:43:00.08\00:43:03.48
SIN AND
TEMPTATION. ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:43:03.51\00:43:06.48
WE'RE FIGHTING AGAINST EVIL -
NOT JUST IN THE WORLD, IT'S IN
00:43:06.51\00:43:08.35
US - AND IT'S A BATTLE AND WE'VE
ALL BEEN INTIMIDATED BY THE
00:43:08.38\00:43:11.99
GIANT. HE COMES
OUT DAY AFTER DAY -
00:43:12.02\00:43:14.66
FORTY DAYS - FORTY REPRESENTS A
GENERATION - IT'S A TIME - IT'S
00:43:14.69\00:43:17.76
TALKING ABOUT AN AGE - JUST OVER
AND OVER HE COMES AND HE TAUNTS
00:43:17.79\00:43:21.86
AND HE - HE
PERSECUTES AND HE TRIES.
00:43:21.90\00:43:26.50
AND WE THINK, 'ONE OF THESE DAYS
- ONE OF THESE DAYS - ONE OF
00:43:26.53\00:43:29.14
THESE DAYS - I DON'T KNOW
HOW I'M GOING TO DO IT - I DON'T
00:43:29.17\00:43:31.71
KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO FIGHT
- I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO
00:43:31.74\00:43:33.44
RESIST' - YOU KNOW,
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
00:43:33.48\00:43:36.08
IF YOU GO IN THE NAME OF THE
LORD AND SAY, 'I'M GOING TO GO
00:43:36.11\00:43:37.95
FORWARD AND TRUST THAT GOD
WILL PROVIDE A WAY OF ESCAPE.'
00:43:37.98\00:43:41.28
DOESN'T THE BIBLE TELL US IN
1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 10, 'THE
00:43:41.32\00:43:44.09
LORD WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BE
TEMPTED ABOVE WHAT YOU'RE ABLE
00:43:44.12\00:43:47.19
BUT WILL WITH EVERY TEMPTATION
PROVIDE A WAY OF ESCAPE THAT
00:43:47.22\00:43:50.69
YOU'RE ABLE TO BEAR IT'?
AND SO YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHAT
00:43:50.73\00:43:53.46
YOUR WEAPON'S GOING TO BE,
BUT YOU GO FORWARD AND YOU DO IT
00:43:53.50\00:43:58.23
IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
AND TRUSTING IN HIS WORD.
00:43:58.27\00:44:01.17
SO HE MAKES THIS
GREAT CONFESSION.
00:44:01.20\00:44:03.30
"THIS DAY" - VERSE 46 - "THE
LORD WILL DELIVER YOU INTO MY
00:44:03.34\00:44:07.48
HAND, AND I WILL STRIKE YOU
AND TAKE YOUR HEAD FROM YOU."
00:44:07.51\00:44:12.38
- NOW GOLIATH HAD JUST SAID,
'I'M GOING TO TAKE YOUR HEAD
00:44:12.41\00:44:13.82
FROM YOU AND FEED YOU TO THE
BEASTS OF CARRION.' AND DAVID,
00:44:13.85\00:44:18.79
BOY, TALK ABOUT THE BOLDNESS,
HE DOESN'T BACK DOWN AT ALL.
00:44:18.82\00:44:22.82
HE IS ABSOLUTELY
COURAGEOUS AND AUDACIOUS.
00:44:22.86\00:44:24.89
HE SAID, 'NO YOU'RE NOT.' I
MEAN, ALL THE OTHER SOLDIERS -
00:44:24.93\00:44:28.10
YOU GET A GIANT MAD BEFORE YOU
FIGHT HIM, IT'S KIND OF SCARY.
00:44:28.13\00:44:31.77
HE STARTS STOMPING AROUND - THE
GROUND IS SHAKING - AND DAVID IS
00:44:31.80\00:44:34.30
FEARLESS. HE SAYS, 'NO,
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO KILL ME.
00:44:34.34\00:44:36.40
I'M GOING TO KILL
YOU. FURTHERMORE, I'M GOING
00:44:36.44\00:44:38.04
TO CUT OFF YOUR HEAD.
ONCE YOU'RE DOWN I'M GOING TO
00:44:38.07\00:44:40.01
MAKE SURE YOU
DON'T GET BACK UP AGAIN.
00:44:40.04\00:44:42.18
AND WE'RE GOING TO FEED
YOUR BODIES AND THE CAMP OF THE
00:44:42.21\00:44:45.01
PHILISTINES TO THE BIRDS OF THE
AIR.' YOU KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE
00:44:45.05\00:44:48.32
SAYS IN THE GREAT
JUDGMENT OF THE WICKED?
00:44:48.35\00:44:50.62
IT TALKS ABOUT THE
FEAST OF THE BIRDS.
00:44:50.65\00:44:52.89
AND HERE - THIS IS ALL ALLUDING
TO THE THEMES IN THE BIBLE OF
00:44:52.92\00:44:56.86
THE GREAT JUDGMENT DAY. WHY?
IT SAYS THAT ALL THE EARTH MAY
00:44:56.89\00:45:04.63
KNOW THAT THERE
IS A GOD IN ISRAEL.
00:45:04.67\00:45:07.67
DAVID SAYS IT LOUD AND CLEAR
SO EVERYBODY THERE - SO THESE
00:45:07.70\00:45:10.94
ARMIES MAY KNOW - SO ALL
THE EARTH'LL KNOW - HE KNEW THAT
00:45:10.97\00:45:14.58
THIS STORY THAT GOD'S SPIRIT
WAS THERE WAS GOING TO GO BEYOND
00:45:14.61\00:45:19.25
WHAT WAS HAPPENING ON THAT
BATTLEFIELD 3,000 YEARS AGO -
00:45:19.28\00:45:22.82
ABOUT 1,000 YEARS
BEFORE CHRIST'S TOOK PLACE.
00:45:22.85\00:45:25.22
DID THIS STORY GO
INTO ALL THE EARTH?
00:45:25.25\00:45:28.16
THERE ARE PEOPLE IN EVERY
RELIGION OF THE WORLD THAT KNOW
00:45:28.19\00:45:30.43
THE EXPRESSION 'DAVID AND
GOLIATH' - THAT HAVE HEARD THIS
00:45:30.46\00:45:32.96
STORY. BUT IT REALLY
HAPPENED. CAN YOU IMAGINE?
00:45:32.99\00:45:36.30
BOY, I CAN'T WAIT TO
GET TO HEAVEN AND SEE THAT.
00:45:36.33\00:45:40.40
SO DAVID GOES
FORTH TO MEET THE GIANT.
00:45:40.44\00:45:42.57
HE SAYS, "THEN ALL THIS ASSEMBLY
SHALL KNOW THAT THE LORD DOES
00:45:42.60\00:45:45.74
NOT SAVE WITH SWORD AND SPEAR;
FOR THE BATTLE IS THE LORD'S,
00:45:45.77\00:45:50.31
AND HE WILL GIVE YOU
INTO OUR HANDS." TOTAL FAITH.
00:45:50.35\00:45:54.55
VERSE 48, "SO IT WAS, WHEN THE
PHILISTINE AROSE AND CAME AND
00:45:54.58\00:45:59.59
DREW NEAR TO MEET DAVID, THAT
DAVID HURRIED AND RAN TOWARD THE
00:45:59.62\00:46:03.93
ARMY TO MEET THE PHILISTINE."
- I MEAN, CAN YOU PICTURE THAT?
00:46:03.96\00:46:07.86
HERE'S THIS MASSIVE ARMY - THEY
GOT THE GIANT OUT THERE - DAVID,
00:46:07.93\00:46:11.30
BY HIMSELF - A SHEPHERD -
IS RUNNING TOWARDS AN ARMY.
00:46:11.33\00:46:15.80
WHAT A PICTURE OF
COURAGE AND TRUST IN GOD.
00:46:15.84\00:46:18.87
HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW HE WAS GOING
TO DO IT, BUT HE WAS GOING TO GO
00:46:18.91\00:46:21.48
THROUGH AND MOW THEM ALL DOWN,
IF HE NEEDED TO. AND HE RAN.
00:46:21.51\00:46:26.38
IF I WAS GOING TO FIGHT A
GIANT, I PROBABLY WOULDN'T RUN.
00:46:26.41\00:46:29.48
AND AS HE RUNS, HE PUT HIS HAND
IN THE BAG AND HE TAKES OUT A
00:46:29.52\00:46:34.16
STONE AND HE SLUNG IT AND
HE STRUCK THE PHILISTINE IN THE
00:46:34.19\00:46:38.36
FOREHEAD SO THAT THE
STONE SANK INTO HIS FOREHEAD.
00:46:38.39\00:46:41.83
I READ THAT IF A GOOD SLINGER
WITH THE RIGHT STONE AND A GOOD
00:46:41.86\00:46:46.23
SLING, HE COULD FIRE A SHELL
AND IT COULD HAVE THE STOPPING
00:46:46.27\00:46:50.37
VELOCITY OF A 0.45 CALIBER.
AND SO THE STONE, IT GOES ON TO
00:46:50.41\00:46:55.71
TELL US, IT DOESN'T HIT HIM ON
THE HEAD AND BOUNCE OFF, IT HIT
00:46:55.74\00:46:58.41
PRETTY HARD WHERE IT ACTUALLY
PENETRATED - PROBABLY CRACKED
00:46:58.45\00:47:01.42
HIS SKULL, SANK
INTO HIS FOREHEAD, AND HE
00:47:01.45\00:47:04.15
FELL ON HIS FACE. YOU
CAN READ IN PATRIARCHS AND
00:47:04.19\00:47:09.42
PROPHETS HIS LEGS BEGAN TO
SHAKE, HE PUT HIS HAND UP TO HIS
00:47:09.46\00:47:14.03
FACE, HE STUMBLED AND HE
FELL ON HIS FACE INGLORIOUSLY.
00:47:14.10\00:47:18.30
YOU'VE HEARD THE EXPRESSION 'THE
BIGGER THEY ARE, THE HARDER THEY
00:47:18.33\00:47:22.90
FALL' - THE OLD - ALL THE EARTH
SHOOK WITH A THUD AND THE WHOLE
00:47:22.94\00:47:27.74
PHILISTINE ARMY SUDDENLY DID
THE WAVE. AND DAVID DIDN'T WAIT.
00:47:27.78\00:47:35.55
DAVID PREVAILED, IT SAYS, OVER
THE PHILISTINE WITH A SLING AND
00:47:35.58\00:47:38.25
A STONE AND HE STRUCK THE
PHILISTINE AND HE KILLED HIM.
00:47:38.29\00:47:42.12
BUT THERE WAS NO
SWORD IN DAVID'S HAND.
00:47:42.16\00:47:43.73
NOW, THE ARMOR BEARER WHO HAD
BEEN ACCOMPANYING GOLIATH, WHEN
00:47:43.76\00:47:47.96
HE SAW GOLIATH GO DOWN AND
DAVID RUNNING FORWARD, HE DID A
00:47:48.00\00:47:50.43
RETREAT. HE
DIDN'T RESCUE HIS ARMOR.
00:47:50.47\00:47:54.04
AND SO, DAVID WENT AND HE STOOD
OVER THE PHILISTINE, HE TOOK HIS
00:47:54.07\00:47:57.24
SWORD - HE SAID, 'YOU
MIND IF I BORROW THIS?'
00:47:57.27\00:47:59.21
(LAUGHTER) HE TOOK HIS SWORD -
NOW, I NEED TO ALSO EXPLAIN, IF
00:47:59.24\00:48:05.25
YOU READ HERE, IT TELLS YOU THAT
PART OF WHAT THE PHILISTINES
00:48:05.28\00:48:08.25
DID, WHEN THEY OPPRESSED
THE ISRAELITES, THE PHILISTINES
00:48:08.28\00:48:12.12
CONTROLLED THE IRON THAT CAME
INTO THAT PART OF THE COUNTRY.
00:48:12.15\00:48:15.29
THEY WOULD NOT ALLOW THE
ISRAELITES TO HAVE ANY IRON
00:48:15.32\00:48:18.16
WEAPONS. MATTER
OF FACT, WHEN THE
00:48:18.19\00:48:20.13
ISRAELITES NEEDED TO SHARPEN
THEIR IRON FARM IMPLEMENTS, THEY
00:48:20.16\00:48:24.03
HAD TO GO TO THE PHILISTINES
TO GET THEM SHARPENED.
00:48:24.07\00:48:26.90
YOU REMEMBER READING THAT?
SO THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAD A
00:48:26.94\00:48:29.57
SWORD THAT WAS MADE OF IRON WAS
THE - SAUL AND JONATHAN - YOU'LL
00:48:29.60\00:48:35.18
READ ABOUT THIS LATER - BUT
THE SWORD OF GOLIATH, IT WAS A
00:48:35.21\00:48:39.85
MASTERPIECE AND IT TOOK BOTH
OF HIS HANDS TO EVEN LIFT IT.
00:48:39.88\00:48:44.32
AND SO DAVID TAKES THE SWORD
OF THE GIANT AND, WITH IT - IT'S
00:48:44.35\00:48:49.09
BEEN SHARPENED AND READY
FOR FORTY DAYS - HE CUT OFF THE
00:48:49.12\00:48:52.73
GIANT'S HEAD. WHAT
DOES THE BIBLE TELL US
00:48:52.76\00:48:55.70
THAT HAPPENS TO THE SERPENT?
THERE'S A WAR BETWEEN THE SEED
00:48:55.73\00:49:02.70
OF THE WOMAN - CHRIST -
AND THE SERPENT - THE DEVIL.
00:49:02.74\00:49:06.04
AND THE SERPENT BITES ON THE
HEEL OF THE CHURCH, BUT HIS HEAD
00:49:06.07\00:49:11.65
GETS CRUSHED IN THE END. SO
DAVID, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE CAN
00:49:11.68\00:49:16.08
GET WOUNDED IN THEIR ARM
AND THEIR LEG - THEY GO HOME AND
00:49:16.12\00:49:18.22
HEAL - THEY'LL COME
BACK AND FIGHT YOU AGAIN.
00:49:18.25\00:49:20.76
BUT IF YOU TAKE AWAY THEIR
HEAD, THEY'RE NOT COMING BACK.
00:49:20.79\00:49:24.89
SO HE WAS GOING TO MAKE SURE
AND HE CUT OFF HIS HEAD WITH IT.
00:49:24.93\00:49:28.90
AND WHEN THE PHILISTINES SAW
THEIR CHAMPION WAS DEAD, THEY
00:49:28.93\00:49:31.70
FLED. NOW THE MEN
OF ISRAEL - CAN YOU
00:49:31.73\00:49:34.64
IMAGINE THE LOOK
ON THE SOLDERS' FACES?
00:49:34.67\00:49:36.17
THEY'VE BEEN ALL MAKING BETS
AND PASSING OUT MONEY - DAVID'S
00:49:36.20\00:49:38.37
GOING TO LOSE - AND THEY
COULDN'T GET ANYONE TO TAKE
00:49:38.41\00:49:39.84
THEIR BETS - ALL OF A SUDDEN
THEY SEE THE GIANT STUMBLE AND
00:49:39.87\00:49:42.61
GO DOWN. THEY SEE
DAVID GET ON TOP OF HIM
00:49:42.64\00:49:44.85
AND HACK OFF HIS HEAD - THAT'S
KIND OF GRISLY - AND THEN HE
00:49:44.88\00:49:49.35
HOLDS UP GOLIATH'S HEAD AND THEY
SEE THE ARMY OF THE PHILISTINES
00:49:49.38\00:49:52.79
MELTING BACK - ALL OF A SUDDEN
THE WHOLE ATTITUDE OF THE ARMY
00:49:52.82\00:49:57.33
CHANGES BECAUSE
OF DAVID'S VICTORY.
00:49:57.36\00:49:59.39
THEY ALL LET OUT A BIG
CHEER AND THEY START TO CHARGE.
00:49:59.43\00:50:02.20
WHAT'S HAPPENED
TO THEIR COURAGE?
00:50:02.23\00:50:04.63
THEY WERE A LITTLE
ASHAMED THAT THEY'D BEEN AFRAID.
00:50:04.67\00:50:07.44
NOW THE WHOLE ARMY BUYS INTO THE
VICTORY OF DAVID AND IT BECOMES
00:50:07.47\00:50:12.51
THEIR VICTORY.
WHAT GIVES US COURAGE
00:50:12.54\00:50:15.71
TO BE
VICTORIOUS? THE VICTORY - DID
00:50:15.74\00:50:19.01
JESUS DEFEAT THE DEVIL? >>AMEN.
00:50:19.05\00:50:20.58
>>DID JESUS HAVE A BATTLE
WITH SATAN AFTER FORTY DAYS?
00:50:20.62\00:50:24.75
DID HE WIN? WHAT
DID HE USE TO WIN?
00:50:24.79\00:50:28.19
>>THE WORD OF GOD.
>>THE WORD OF GOD. THAT'S THE
00:50:28.22\00:50:30.63
ROCK. THAT'S THE STONE. THAT
DOESN'T CHANGE. AND WHAT ELSE
00:50:30.66\00:50:35.60
DID HE USE? A SWORD -
WHAT IS A SWORD A SYMBOL OF?
00:50:35.63\00:50:40.04
'THE WORD OF GOD IS QUICK AND
POWERFUL' - HEBREWS 4 - 'SHARPER
00:50:40.07\00:50:43.00
THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD.' AND
IT SAYS DAVID TOOK THE HEAD OF
00:50:43.04\00:50:46.74
THE PHILISTINE AND
BROUGHT IT TO JERUSALEM.
00:50:46.78\00:50:49.91
NOW, WHERE DID DAVID LIVE?
I WANT TO FINISH THIS CHAPTER.
00:50:49.94\00:50:52.91
>>BETHLEHEM.
>>DAVID LIVES IN BETHLEHEM.
00:50:52.95\00:50:55.18
WHO LIVES IN
JERUSALEM? >>KING SAUL.
00:50:55.22\00:50:58.02
>>KING SAUL LIVES IN GIBEAH
- THAT'S THE OTHER DIRECTION.
00:50:58.05\00:51:03.32
WHY IS DAVID TAKING GOLIATH'S
HEAD TO THE CITY OF THE
00:51:03.36\00:51:06.93
JEBUSITES? THE JEBUSITES STILL
HAD NOT BEEN CONQUERED BY ISRAEL
00:51:06.96\00:51:12.60
- NOT UNTIL DAVID BECAME
KING WERE THEY CONQUERED.
00:51:12.63\00:51:14.97
DAVID BRINGS THE HEAD - HE
SAYS, 'SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE
00:51:15.00\00:51:17.21
PHILISTINES? HE SAID,
'YOU GUYS HAVE A CHANCE
00:51:17.24\00:51:19.51
TO LEAVE.' SEVERAL
TIMES HE TOLD THEM TO LEAVE.
00:51:19.54\00:51:21.41
THEY SAID, 'THE WEAKEST PEOPLE
IN ISRAEL CAN'T' - HE SAYS 'THE
00:51:21.44\00:51:24.18
BLIND AND THE LAME IN
OUR CITY CAN DEFEAT YOU.
00:51:24.21\00:51:27.85
YOU CAN'T GET IN THE CITY.'
DAVID BRINGS THE HEAD OF GOLIATH
00:51:27.88\00:51:30.85
TO JERUSALEM AND IT
WAS SORT OF A WARNING.
00:51:30.89\00:51:34.56
LATER THAT BECOMES THE
CAPITAL CITY FOR DAVID.
00:51:34.59\00:51:37.09
BY THE WAY, JESUS BECOMES KING
OF THE NEW JERUSALEM AND DAVID
00:51:37.13\00:51:41.70
MAKES HIS CAPITAL IN JERUSALEM.
AND I'VE JUST GOT TO EXPLAIN AT
00:51:41.73\00:51:46.00
THE END HERE - AND HE PUT HIS
ARMOR IN HIS TENT; AND WHEN SAUL
00:51:46.03\00:51:50.94
SAW DAVID GOING OUT AGAINST THE
PHILISTINE HE SAID TO ABNER, THE
00:51:50.97\00:51:54.08
COMMANDER OF THE ARMY, 'ABNER?'
- ABNER WAS ALSO THE UNCLE
00:51:54.11\00:51:58.85
OF SAUL - 'WHOSE
SON IS THIS YOUTH?'
00:51:58.88\00:52:01.25
HE MIGHT BE THINKING,
'DOES HE HAVE DEMENTIA?
00:52:01.28\00:52:03.12
HE WAS THE
MUSICIAN. DON'T YOU KNOW HIM?
00:52:03.15\00:52:05.45
YOU SAID YOU LOVED HIM EARLIER.'
HE DOESN'T ASK WHO HE IS, HE
00:52:05.49\00:52:08.19
SAYS WHO'S SON IS HE?
WHY, BECAUSE WHOEVER BEAT THE
00:52:08.22\00:52:11.49
GIANT, THEIR FAMILY
BECOMES TAX FREE IN ISRAEL NOW.
00:52:11.53\00:52:15.80
THEY GET SPECIAL PRIVILEGES.
HE SAYS, 'WHOSE SON IS THIS?'
00:52:15.83\00:52:20.10
ABNER SAYS, 'AS YOUR SOUL LIVES,
O KING, I DON'T KNOW.' SO THE
00:52:20.14\00:52:23.24
KING BEGINS TO INQUIRE OF THE
YOUNG MAN - WHOSE SON THE YOUNG
00:52:23.27\00:52:28.04
MAN IS. AND THEY FINALLY
FOUND OUT HE'S THE SON OF JESSE.
00:52:28.08\00:52:31.55
"THEN, AS DAVID RETURNED FROM
THE SLAUGHTER OF THE PHILISTINE,
00:52:31.58\00:52:33.85
ABNER TOOK HIM AND BROUGHT HIM
BEFORE SAUL WITH THE HEAD OF THE
00:52:33.88\00:52:37.02
PHILISTINE IN HIS
HAND." - SEE WHAT HE'S DONE?
00:52:37.05\00:52:39.29
HE'S GONE TO JERUSALEM, HE'S
SHOWN THEM AND HE COMES BACK -
00:52:39.32\00:52:42.42
"AND SAUL SAID TO HIM,
'WHOSE SON ARE YOU, YOUNG MAN?'
00:52:42.46\00:52:46.03
AND DAVID ANSWERED, 'I AM THE
SON OF YOUR SERVANT JESSE THE
00:52:46.06\00:52:48.86
BETHLEHEMITE." AND
JESUS WOULD COME FROM THE
00:52:48.90\00:52:52.97
STEM OF JESSE THE BETHLEHEMITE.
SO THIS IS A STORY NOT JUST
00:52:53.00\00:52:57.97
ABOUT DAVID, FRIENDS,
THIS IS A STORY ABOUT JESUS.
00:52:58.01\00:53:01.51
IT'S A STORY ABOUT
HOW TO FIGHT GIANTS.
00:53:01.54\00:53:03.68
HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE YOU'RE
IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH AND YOU'RE
00:53:03.71\00:53:07.22
BEING INTIMIDATED BY THE
ENEMY? WE NEED TO HAVE THAT
00:53:07.25\00:53:09.92
FAITH AND THAT
COURAGE. IT'S NOT REALLY ABOUT
00:53:09.95\00:53:11.95

>>FOR OVER SIXTY YEARS
JEEPNEYS HAVE BEEN THE VIRTUAL
00:54:12.55\00:54:15.25
KING OF THE ROAD,
HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
00:54:15.28\00:54:17.65
THESE UNIQUE VEHICLES THAT ARE
FESTIVE WITH COLORFUL STICKERS,
00:54:17.69\00:54:21.02
LIGHTS, AND CHROME HAVE
GROWN INTO THE CHIEF SOURCE OF
00:54:21.06\00:54:23.93
TRANSPORTATION IN THE
COUNTRY. LET'S GO! THESE ICONIC
00:54:23.96\00:54:32.03
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE MILITARY
VEHICLES, MADE BY THE WILLYS
00:54:32.07\00:54:34.94
COMPANY, WERE KNOWN AS 'JEEPS'
BECAUSE IT STOOD FOR GENERAL
00:54:34.97\00:54:38.91
PURPOSE, BUT IT ALSO CAME FROM
A CHARACTER IN A POPEYE CARTOON
00:54:38.94\00:54:43.98
THAT WAS KNOWN AS 'EUGENE THE
JEEP' HE WAS AN IMAGINARY DOG
00:54:44.01\00:54:47.62
THAT COULD CRAWL ACROSS THE
CEILINGS AND THE WALLS - AND
00:54:47.65\00:54:50.19
THESE JEEPS COULD GO ANYWHERE.
WHEN THE AMERICANS LEFT THE
00:54:50.22\00:54:53.22
PHILIPPINES FOLLOWING WORLD WAR
II, IT WAS JUST CHEAPER FOR THEM
00:54:53.25\00:54:56.76
TO LEAVE THESE THOUSANDS OF
MILITARY VEHICLES BEHIND RATHER
00:54:56.79\00:54:59.76
THAN TO TRANSPORT
THEM BACK TO THE STATES.
00:54:59.79\00:55:02.40
THE CREATIVE FILIPINO PEOPLE
MODIFIED THESE MILITARY VEHICLES
00:55:02.43\00:55:06.00
BY EXTENDING THE
FRAME ABOUT SIX FEET.
00:55:06.03\00:55:08.40
THEY ADDED A COUPLE OF OPPOSING
BENCHES THAT ARE DESIGNED TO
00:55:08.44\00:55:11.07
CARRY ABOUT 18 PEOPLE, THEY
PUT A CAB OVER IT TO PREVENT THE
00:55:11.11\00:55:15.21
WATER FROM COMING IN, BUT I'VE
SEEN WHAT LOOKS LIKE ABOUT 20 TO
00:55:15.24\00:55:19.28
25 PEOPLE HANGING OFF EVERY
POSSIBLE EDGE AND LEDGE OF A
00:55:19.31\00:55:22.55
JEEPNEY - JUMPING
OFF AND JUMPING ON AS IT
00:55:22.58\00:55:25.62
GOES THROUGH
CONGESTED MANILLA TRAFFIC.
00:55:25.65\00:55:30.03
EVERY JEEPNEY IS A
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
00:55:30.06\00:55:31.96
SOME ARE JUST HELD TOGETHER
WITH PATCHES OF BALING WIRE AND
00:55:31.99\00:55:35.06
BUBBLE GUM AND A LITTLE BIT
OF DUCT TAPE; SOME ARE A LITTLE
00:55:35.10\00:55:37.80
MORE ORNATE AND MODERN - THEY'VE
GOT CHROME AND STAINLESS STEEL -
00:55:37.83\00:55:41.34
AND THERE'S GOOD REASON
THAT THE CEILINGS ARE PADDED.
00:55:41.37\00:55:47.21
WHEN ONE OF THE LOCAL FILIPINOS
WANTS A RIDE ON A JEEPNEY, THEY
00:55:47.24\00:55:50.11
JUST FLAG THEM DOWN, THEY SHOUT,
THEY TAP ON THE HOOD, AND THEN
00:55:50.15\00:55:52.88
THEY JUMP ON BOARD - THEY MAY
NOT EVEN SLOW DOWN WHEN THEY DO
00:55:52.91\00:55:55.92
THIS - THEN THEY PAY ABOUT EIGHT
PESOS, WHICH IS THE EQUIVALENT
00:55:55.95\00:55:59.65
OF 16 CENTS FOR US - IT'S, BY
FAR THE MOST ECONOMICAL WAY TO
00:55:59.69\00:56:03.53
GET AROUND IN THE COUNTRY.
00:56:03.56\00:56:10.10
SOME JEEPNEYS ARE EVEN EQUIPPED
WITH THEIR OWN EMERGENCY PRIVY.
00:56:10.13\00:56:15.77
ONE LITTLE DOWNSIDE TO THIS
JEEPNEYS IS, BECAUSE THE CABS
00:56:15.80\00:56:18.34
ARE OPEN LIKE THIS, THEY'RE NOT
AIR-CONDITIONED, IT GETS PRETTY
00:56:18.37\00:56:21.58
HOT IN THE SUMMERTIME AND ALL OF
THE FUMES FROM THE STREET COME
00:56:21.61\00:56:24.45
IN, WHICH CAN MAKE IT AN
EXHAUSTING EXPERIENCE - WHEW.
00:56:24.48\00:56:29.42
PART OF THE DOWNSIDE OF THE
JEEPNEY IS THEY DON'T HAVE ALL
00:56:29.45\00:56:31.25
OF THE MODERN SAFETY FEATURES -
NO SEAT BELTS - YOU HAVE TO TAKE
00:56:31.29\00:56:34.82
ADVANTAGE OF THE PADDING IF YOU
HIT A HARD BUMP AND, IF YOU'RE
00:56:34.86\00:56:38.39
IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, THERE'S
NO AIRBAGS OTHER THAN THE
00:56:38.43\00:56:41.36
FRIENDS THAT MIGHT
BE SITTING AROUND YOU.
00:56:41.40\00:56:43.50
AND THAT'S THE UPSIDE OF THE
JEEPNEY, BECAUSE YOU'RE UP CLOSE
00:56:43.53\00:56:46.07
AND PERSONAL WITH EVERYBODY,
YOU MAKE SOME NEW FRIENDS.
00:56:46.10\00:56:49.70
RIDING ON A
JEEPNEY REQUIRES TEAMWORK.
00:56:49.74\00:56:52.07
IF YOU BUY SOMETHING FROM ONE
OF THE VENDORS, YOU ALL SORT OF
00:56:52.11\00:56:54.34
PASS IT BACK TO EACH OTHER AND
WHEN PASSENGERS GET ON BOARD,
00:56:54.38\00:56:57.51
YOU JUST PASS YOUR
MONEY UP FRONT. THANKS A LOT!
00:56:57.55\00:57:10.86
FRIENDS, IT'S SAFE TO SAY THERE
ARE NO TWO JEEPNEYS THAT ARE
00:57:10.89\00:57:13.53
EXACTLY THE SAME - THEY'RE ALL
UNIQUE AND DISTINCT - AND SO ARE
00:57:13.56\00:57:17.87
YOU. HAVE YOU
EVER FELT THAT YOU GET
00:57:17.90\00:57:19.83
LOST IN THE MASS OF HUMANITY
AND GOD DOESN'T NOTICE YOU?
00:57:19.87\00:57:23.91
THE BIBLE TELLS US
THAT HE KNOWS YOUR NAME.
00:57:23.94\00:57:25.87
THE VERY HAIRS OF YOUR HEAD
ARE NUMBERED AND HE HEARS YOUR
00:57:25.91\00:57:28.21
PRAYERS. MORE THAN THAT, THE
LORD WANTS TO TAKE YOU TO HIS
00:57:28.24\00:57:31.45
KINGDOM - YOU JUST HAVE
TO GET ON BOARD. (MUSIC)
