 Good evening. Good afternoon. Hope you all are doing well. I want to cover something now as we move through this. I want you guys to see something that we haven't we didn't touch on a lot but it was there as always. There's always going to be something that's there that maybe you didn't quite see. Maybe you should have seen. It is it's apparent a couple of things. Two things as a matter of fact and we'll look at those in just a little bit but that being the case we're going to start off and we're going to start off talking about King Ahab. There are a couple of kings that we skipped over. We won't go over all of the kings. I'm not exactly sure how far we will get either this week or next week and I'm not sure how you know when we get into all the other different kings. Suffice to say for now we're going to find out that there are not very many good kings of all the kings both in the north and the south. Remember we have two divisions of Israel. Israel is divided into two. You've got the northern kingdom and you've got the southern kingdom. You've got to the north they call it Israel or you may you may hear it called Ephraim. Also in the south you have Judah. Does anyone remember what Judah is made up of? Which two tribes are in Judah? See if you all remember there's two tribes that make up Judah and the rest of the tribes are in the north making up Israel. So as we go forward though remember also remember this. I want to keep keep us in mind this little timeline. I want you all to see where we are because where we are is important. Let's see. So far we have covered Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers but keeping in mind what the what the chronological books are. Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Joshua 1st I mean Judges 1st and 2nd Samuel 1st and 2nd Kings and if you notice the time we are somewhere we are 1st Kings and 2nd Kings covers about 400 years not quite 40 years but 400 years and then look at the complementary books. We have Job, Leviticus, Deuteronomy. We have the books that complement Judges which is Ruth and we also have the books that complement 1st and 2nd Samuel as well as 1st and 2nd Kings which is 1st and 2nd Chronicles also Proverbs Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon as Song of Solomon to put an S on the end of that but Song of Solomon so yes now yeah those the two kingdoms or the two tribes Judah and Benjamin so that being the case we're at the point to where now Ahab is the king okay I'm going to refer back to this to this chart in just a little bit because I want you all to see I want you all to see what has happened there's a there's a point that we're going to bring up in just a little bit and it's an interesting point we haven't made this point we've talked about this before in other videos and so forth on other subjects a couple things we haven't talked about but we're going to talk about that there's two important things things that are kind of happening today now remember in this study as we're going through the scriptures here we want to try to put ourselves in the place of the people and so we don't think about what has happened in books that are written later in things that happen later we're not we don't know we haven't heard the name Jesus yet these people have never heard of Jesus they don't know about the the incarnate Christ and they know about the pre-incarnate Christ they do not call Christ they don't they don't call him the Messiah just yet they don't know about that yet they are still being told some things as a matter of fact where they are now is right where God told them they will be because of their sin remember their sin their various sins as a nation and there's always going to be one person or two person that will kind of be the be the be the spark but ultimately we're going to find out that we are in the place where God said it would be which is that they have sinned and they are being divided up and then later on they're going to be taken out of the land they have not been taken out of the land yet but they've been told we've seen that that they will be taken out of the land now they're not really playing paying heed to it and we're going to see something that God is doing God is doing something before their eyes and they are ignoring it we're going to see that in just a second as well so where we are is Israel has is there in this hardened state they have turned their heart their back on God over and over and over and over again now as a matter of fact let's go back to this to this map I'm into this timeline if you notice we don't really have that much long to go before we get into what we know is the gospels we don't have that much that much time left we've covered a lot of time now we're going to cover an awful lot of events before then so it's not like it's not as though we are absolutely close to getting there we've got a lot to cover but I think it's interesting to know that in terms of time we've only got about maybe another three four hundred years of actual time before things go silent and then we go into and we go into the um to the to the gospels so that being the case let's go ahead and turn our attentions to let me fix this real really real quickly let's turn our attentions to first kings and then let's go to first kings chapter 16 verse 28 and here we go so armory slept with his father that was a previous king armory slept with his fathers and was buried in samaria and ahab his son became king in his place now ahab the son of armory became king over israel in the 38th year of asa king of juda and ahab the son of armory reigned over israel in samaria 22 years okay so where is samaria well going by this it's easy to tell samaria is in israel israel the north so samaria is north of jerusalem okay north of uh juda or later we're going to see it's just we'll just we'll just kind of know it to be north of Jerusalem so let's go back to it verse 31 it came about as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of jerobo on the sunday in other words this is what we do this is what we do we are going to walk in an evil fashion that he married jezebel the daughter of ethbeil ethbeil king of the sedonians and went to serve the bells and worship that name i don't know if anyone's ever named their child jezebel since probably not there are certain people that have retired a name now i know i know we talked about before that there are a few people that are probably around named adolf i think i haven't heard of anyone named hitler i don't know of any hitlers maybe there are still some i'm pretty so there's a few people if your last name is domery you may have decided to change it because of what one goofball did and so here we've got jezebel and obviously her name is notorious and for good reason but really jezebel isn't as much to blame as it is for this weak man named a have let's go back to him uh so he erected an altar the altar of bail in the house of bail which he built in samaria now remember it's not a big deal to them anymore because they have their own separate worships they are not adhering to the day of of atonement they don't go to jerusalem uh they have their own feasts they have their own altars and so forth they have their own priests they have their own prophets so he erected an altar for bail which was no big deal you had all these other altars as well 33 a have also made uh ashura thus a have did more to provoke the lord god of israel than all the kings of israel who were before him and i sang a lot and that statement alone that he he's done more to provoke the lord god watch we're going to see some things that god does to show himself to a have in his days hyal the bet the bethalite built jericho he laid its foundations with the loss of june with the loss of abirum his son his firstborn and set up its gate with the loss of his youngest son uh sago according to the word of the lord which he spoke by josh with a son of none uh chapter 17 verse one now as a matter of fact let's go over here do i want to one second i want to look at this let's just do it right let's just do it right here i'm sorry now alijah the tishbite who was of the settlers of gilead said to a have as the lord the god of israel lives but whom i before whom i stand surely there shall be neither do nor reign these three years except by my word pretty cool to know that it's going to reign or do whatever it's going to do what it's going to do pun intended according to alijah's word obviously giving him by the lord and i want you all to notice something i want y'all to pay attention i didn't mean to say y'all like that as though i'm in the south i am in the south right now though i'm not born in the south that came out real country didn't but i want you all y'all i'm not i'm not ashamed of saying y'all but i want y'all to notice something i'm not going to tell you what it is just yet but i want you all to piggy pick up see if you can pick up something because remember what are we doing in the uh on the the little seminary style classes we're observing things we want to get in the habit of observing things i don't care if you're already in the middle of a another study i don't care if you're reading your favorite verse your favorite book i want you all to start observing things pick up on things they're there for a reason i said something that we haven't paid attention to it so we're going to talk about it just a little bit more but i want a matter of fact i don't know how many y'all actually picked up what i just said yeah we say y'all in any attitude we do we do say y'all or y'all yaw y'all anyway let's go back to it the word of the lord came to him saying go away from here and turn eastward and hide yourself by the brook of sheriff which is east of jordan it shall be that you will drink of the brook and i have commanded the ravens to provide for you there so he went and did according to the word of the lord for he went and lived by the brook of sheriff which is east of the jordan the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening he would drink from from the brook so here we have at the very this guys is the beginning this is where god invented door dash or uber eats he's bringing uh elijah's food you all thought that some some tech savvy kid came up with uber eats and door dash so no god did god is bringing this man his food for breakfast in the morning and an evening and it happened after a while that the brook dried up because there was no rain in the land so verse eight then the then the word of the lord came to him saying arise go to zerophath which belongs to syden and stay there behold i have commanded a widow there to provide for you so he arose and went to zerophath and when he came to the gate of the city behold a widow was there gathering sticks and he called to her and said please get me a little water in a jar that i might that i might drink as she was going to get it he called her and said please bring me a piece of bread in your hand but she said as the lord your god lives i have no bread only a handful of flour in the bowl and a little oil in the jar and behold i am gathering a few sticks that i may go in and prepare for me and my son that we may eat and die then elijah said to her do not fear go do as you have said but make me a little bread cake from it first and bring out bring it out to me and afterwards you may make one for yourself and for your son for thus says the lord god of israel the bottle of flour shall not be exhausted nor shall the jar of oil be emptied until the day the lord sends rain on the place of the earth so she went and did according to the word of elijah and she and her household ate for many days now question why did she do that she only has a little bit she knows what she has she's got a little bit of oil a little bit of flour she's going to make some bread and we're going to eat it and die be our last meal now prisoners get their last meal on death row she's getting her last meal why did she do that why did she obey him because this the last bit of food that we have this is for me and my son so all we got enough for me and him and then here you come you're welcome to stay but now you want our food too so why did she eat or why does she do what elijah said it's her first time meeting elijah i'm looking at you at you all because the ravens were already taking bread now um okay guys i'm gonna wait i'm gonna wait until you guys get this correct i'm gonna add i'm gonna wait until you guys get this answer correctly my moves did like i don't know i said i want you guys to observe your goal from now on is to be as observing as possible we actually read over this we did we we just covered it so there it is uh supposed lady the word of the lord came to her the word the word of the lord said to her okay so i want you all to pick this stuff up because kurt says because god kurt says because god said so so the word of the lord did speak to her okay came to her and told her now we didn't know we don't know what was said but if we go back a little further where are we at verse eight then the word of the lord said came to him came to him says arise go to zero faith which belong the side i have commanded a widow there to provide for you so god commanded us with now how was it was was it commanded her we don't know but god said that i have commanded a widow there to provide for you amen so remember i want i want you to keep your observation caps on i want your thinking uh i want you to turn your thinking levels up so that you have that all the funking you can do for the day i want i want your brain cells wore out by the day i want matter of fact not i want to wore out i want them to invigorate it i want them i want them in spite i want one brain cell to inspire the next brain cell to inspire the next brain cell i want you looking for clues i want you looking for things so we can build this this uh so we can build this house all right so let's continue where we leave off at we left off at verse 16 the bowl of flour was not exhausted nor did the jar of oil become empty according to the word of the lord which he spoke through elisha now i want you all to i want you start picking up some stuff i want you all to pick up some stuff now here we've got elisha some stuff happening with elisha and i want you all to let's go back to our little chart okay there is a reason why i'm putting this chart up okay there is a big reason why i'm putting this chart up now let me address something syphus rock says that his phone is too small to see the text no we are not going we're not about excuses syphus rock nope sorry sorry nope don't do that you have no excuses get in closer you are young your eyes on as bad as mine i'm kidding i'm kidding so i want you to notice a timeline though notice the timeline where we are okay and look at how many years have passed you don't have to worry about where we are specifically where the exact date is how far along we are we are somewhere around the 850th 850 years bc so we so so somewhere there about 850 800 somewhere in that area okay it's hard to kind of pinpoint it so there's a reason why i'm asking you to to make note of where we are and then what we're seeing happening here with elisha by the way does anyone have any idea where i'm going you may or may not i'm not i'm not gonna hold you accountable to it that hey uh you should know this these are kind of vague clues i'm throwing out but again you do have enough to get this so let's just pretend hey we are we are investigators there's a reason why i'm giving you because remember you have to from now on now i said this before you need to remember what time we're in where we are where we are physically what look what land we're in and you have to remember where we are in terms of time what has passed what's happened before then okay vitally important so before i won't leave you languishing too long let's go back to the text and let's go to verse 17 now it came about after these after these things that the son of the son of the woman the mistress of the house became sick and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him so she said to elisha what do i have to do with you oh man of god you have come to me to bring my iniquity to remembrance and to put my son to death he said to her give me your son then he took him from her bosom and he carried him up to the upper room uh where he was living and laid him on his own bed he called the lord and said oh lord my god have you also brought calamity to the widow with whom i am staying by causing her son to die by the way notice what he says by causing her son to die again it should be clear guys death comes from god no one has the power to give life and no one has the life i mean the power to give to bring death no one has that ability but god amen then he stretched himself upon the child three times and called to the lord and said oh lord my god i pray that you let this child's life return to him the lord heard the voice of elisha and the life of the child returning him and he revived elisha took the child and brought him down from the upper room into the house and gave him to his mother and elisha said see your son's alive then the woman said elisha now i know that you are a man of god and that the word of the lord is in your mouth i'm sorry is in the word of the lord in your mouth is truth two things that you have to glean that you have to observe now there are two big things that you should catch should have caught on by now or or starting to catch them maybe not fully but at least two things that you should either have caught on or you're starting to see two things based on what we've read as well as it also to some degree at least one of them involves the time okay where we are so does anybody have any ideas why am i bringing up why am i intentionally reminding you of the time frame why i'm saying there's at least something that we should have noticed and i'm saying this after we read certain portions of scriptures so there's something that you guys should notice from no not Sabbath breaking uh wow what does this miracle represent it didn't really represent anything uh it didn't represent anything in particular or maybe it does gotta say what was about to happen and it will so what what are you guys what are you guys seeing what are you what are you thinking let's read some more let's read some more we can start putting a little bit more of this puzzle together now what happened after many days that the word of the lord came to elisha in the third year saying go show yourself to ahab and i will send rain on the face of the earth so elisha went to show himself to ahab now the famine was severe in samaria ahab called obadiah who was over the household now obadiah feared the lord greatly for when jezebel destroyed the prophets of the lord obadiah took a hundred prophets and hid them by fifties in a cave it's interesting the way the bible says it took a hundred of them and hid them by fifty so he took fifty here and put fifty there uh and provided them with bread and water then ahab said to obadiah go throughout the land to all the springs of water and to all the vows perhaps we will find grass and keep the horses and mules alive and not have to kill some of the cattle so they divided the land between them to survey and ahab went one way by himself and obadiah went another way by himself this is pretty drastic that the king is going by himself or on his own not by himself now as obadiah was on the way behold elisha met him and he recognized him and fell in space and said is this you elisha my master he said it is i go say to your master behold elisha is here he said what sin have i committed now what he's saying is that if i go tell elisha that i mean ahab that you're here and then he's gonna come and you're not gonna be here because he's been looking for you all this time then he's gonna want to kill me because he is so desperate to find you and and he says i'm not gonna go anywhere uh let's pick up sort of verse 13 has it not been told to my master what i did when jezebel killed the prophets of the lord that i hid a hundred prophets of the lord by fifties and caves in a cave and provided them with bread and water in other words don't don't you know this is not a well-known secret it's not though as though everyone knows what he's done but he knows that elisha is a man of god a true prophet of god so it's like don't you you do know what i've been doing right verse 14 and now you are saying go say to your master behold elisha is here elisha said as the lord of host lives well for whom i stand i will surely show myself to him today so over died went and met ahab and told him and ahab went to meet elisha i don't know if y'all picking up some of the pieces i don't know if you are we're gonna put put it together just a little bit when ahab saw elisha ahab said to him is this you you troubler of israel so what does he respond he said i have not troubled israel but you and your father's house have because you have forsaken the commandments of the lord and you have followed the best it's kind of his way of saying you called me a troubler of israel he said well your mama well not really your your father your daddy your father's house you're the trouble of this land verse 19 now then sin and gather to meet all israel at mount at mount carmel together with 450 prophets of bail and 400 prophets of asherah who eat at jezebel's table now let's stop for a second is anybody has anyone thus far being able to kind of put the little pieces together take your observations in conjunction with the timeline that we're looking at we are at about 850 or so bc has anybody kind of hmm even even if you're off you just i'm i'm i'm i'm thinking maybe is this it quarry what is it that we should have observed at this point in time what is it well i'll tell you well you know i won't tell you i won't tell you i'm sorry i want to see if you all are if you're guessing if you're i want to see how much how much thinking i want to see how much thinking you're doing so anybody have any idea what it is some things that you that you can kind of gather now it's based off of what we're seeing now oh by the way what we either have seen or have not seen in the past two things that i think we should pick up on two things and they are germane to what we're talking about two things so what are the two things well before we get to those things let me go back and ask you guys a question who does elisha tell ahab to go get who does elisha tell ahab to go get it's very important who does elisha tell ahab to go get sharia says lots of false prophets lots how many how many how many well and we can't call them false prophets a renai false prophets uh the fault how many how many in total how many prophets are there well 850 450 450 prophets of veil and 400 prophets of astra notice the bible didn't call them false prophets or lying prophets or anything they just call them prophets of okay that's important why is that important well what is a prophet all a prophet is is someone who tells informs others reveals now you can be a prophet of astra or you can be a prophet of bail you can be a false prophet you can be a lying prophet you can have it ascribed to whatever you want to but elisha is also a prophet a prophet of the lord now how many prophets are there at this time that we know of how many prophets do we know of at least we know of at this time pretty easy number figure out how many prophets do we know of at this very time that's in the land okay this is this is i want to see what you guys put down brian says to she says 851 robert to z with the with the world's greatest uh prison name is correct well no no no i'm sorry no no no i'm sorry no we don't know no he's not dog gone it dog gone i didn't catch that i didn't catch you no it's not 102 so far or let me ask this you and dutch why why do you say 102 who are the who are the 102 well there's 100 we know of there's 100 that we know of and there you go tt and then we've got the one that we know by name who is a legend now are there other we don't know we don't know we don't know the other's name as a matter of fact we're gonna have another prophet in just a little bit without getting his name all we know is that that's 100 prophets now are all of these prophets receiving words from the lord no not necessarily because all the prophet can do all the prophet is and that's what i want you all to see what a prophet does what a prophet is is someone who speaks on behalf of or for or informs or give an utterance or gives a revelation let's go back in the scripts don't want to look at a few people that are also called prophets that we don't never we don't really think of as prophets let's go back to genesis chapter 20 remember there's a guy named abraham who gets himself in trouble with a guy named abinalec verse four now abinalec had not come near her and he said lord will you slay a nation even though blameless did he not himself say to me she is my sister and she herself said he is my brother in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands i have done this then god said to him in the dream yes i know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this and i also kept you so god did something to the bodies i kept you from sinning against me therefore i did not let you touch her look at verse seven now therefore restore the man's wife look what he cut look what god calls abraham for he is a prophet and he will pray for you and you will live but if you do not restore her know that uh know that for sure that you will surely die you and all your household so why does god call abraham a prophet why is god calling abraham a prophet because all you have to do to be a prophet is to speak a word of the lord that's all you are giving a revelation so therefore erin erin uh abraham does qualify notice this prophet right here we don't think of him as a prophet but he's called a prophet of sorts think about this exodus seven one moses complained about his speech so then the lord said to moses see i make you as god to ferro and your brother erin shall be your prophet huh so god says that erin will be your prophet so what is a prophet ladies and gentlemen all it is is someone that declares inform tales give a revelation speaks for mouthpiece of the person or the thing for some of these people that they represent whether you're a false prophet or true prophet a prophet the issue is a prophet of god that's the main point that's where we get to places like deuteronomy 13 where it says that if you because if a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arrives among you and gives you a sign or wonder and the sign or the wonder comes true concerning which he spoke to you say let us go after other gods you should not listen to the word of the of that prophet so god is saying that person is a prophet but is that person possibly a person a false prophet possibly because what are they doing they are moving now we've talked about before we don't see it just yet we're going to hear about it that god will even work in matter of fact no we did just see that we just saw it uh just a little while ago the previous week when this old prophet this lying prophet tells the man of god something and then god speaks to him and then now god speaks to him in a true way so god will even use a lying prophet or a false prophet why to test you and the penalty of having followed this false prophet this lying prophet is uh can be can be deaf but if what he says doesn't come true then you know that he spoke presumptuously and it's not of me how many times does god say that you that you can speak presumptuously and and not be of god and say that you don't have to listen to that person which is one time just one time god didn't say you have to try and try and try and try and try and try if at first you don't succeed try try that is not god's motto no i speak to you because listen being a prophet is pretty good it's a listen it's a if you ever get a chance to become a prophet that is a pretty sweet gig i mean to tell you that is a it's a pretty sweet job it's easy you don't have to do you got two things hear from god say what god says hear what god says say what god says that's it anything anything today lord no okay i'll go i'll go back to working on my phone i'll go back to drawing i'll go back to work now i'll go whatever just hear from god say what god says hear what he says say what he says that's it now obviously today we've got guys that make up stuff you got guys that'll say things and and the lord said okay fine fine okay prophet tell us some more give us give us more mr prophet please we want to hear and what do these prophets tend to want to do because they get puffed up i'll tell you some more fine now by the way mr prophet you get one time one time to mess up and then i'm through with you of course back in those days you get one time to mess up and then we can go ahead and we can stone you we can kill you god does show grace amen god does show grace amen you said especially on tiktok why it's like we we are overrun there are two things this country is overrun with two things we are over overrun with migrants how do they get their name migrants now these are called migrants when i was little used to be called illegal illegal aliens and they were they were illegal immigrants and they were they had all these different names fine fine we we make the bad things seem okay just like we do with prophets we're overrun with migrants and we're overrun with prophets we got more prophets than you can shake a stick at everybody's heard a word of the lord and i told one particular pastor one time younger pastor said you might stay away from saying the lord told me he wasn't trying to be a prophet was it i just felt like the lord be careful about that i don't care how you put it the lord said the lord told me the lord spoke to me the lord moved me be careful because now you're shifting the authority and the blame to god and if he didn't say so shame on you and let's say you're a pastor and you do that if you're a pastor and you say the lord said and it come to pass then your entire congregation by right should not listen to you again because you said the lord said no one told you to say the lord said however if you do hear what the lords the lord says well then go with it that's why he's not speaking to a lot of people now there have been a lot of people that have been called prophets even prophets of god there's only been a few named prophets now let me put this back on the screen i want you all to see something i want you guys to see something notice this timeline again notice this timeline we are about 850 bc okay so we have traveled approximately 3200 years we have traveled approximately 3200 years now what you ought to know something one we're seeing what a prophet is as a matter of fact as a matter of fact the widow let's go back to her what does she say she said that now i know that the the word of the lord is in your mouth i know that the words from from your mouth are from the from the lord why because it came to be so here we have this true prophet of god elisha here we are 3200 years from the beginning of time i need you all before i tell you to see if you could observe something that's that is right there in your face is right there in your face and it's very much germane to this as well as it is germane to some other shenanigans my little my little hint for you some shenanigans that are happening nowadays there is something that elisha is doing that we don't see very often does anyone know what elisha is doing that we don't see very often and i say it can consider the timeline consider the timeline we are 3200 years since genesis we are almost almost 800 years before the gospels 400 years or so before everything goes silent we're not hearing from the lord dog gone at robert 2z listen if i ever if something happens i go to jail and robert 2z with the best prison name in america goes yeah i want you as my cellmate miracles miracles thank you robert miracles have y'all noticed that miracles let me ask you guys a question let me ask you guys a question let's think of some of the great prophets prior to elisha can y'all name some of the great prophets prior to elisha think about it nathan one we just saw abhija moses what about samuel what about what about um he said yeah i noticed that now what about some of the non-profits i don't you know i i just caught that i just caught what i just said the non-profits not non-profits like a like a church or a 501c3 the non-profits you know davids abraham isaac jake all of the judges what about them think about all those people you you can throw an enoch you can throw in noah think about all those people here's the question guys did we see in them what we see out of elisha think about it did we see out of them what we saw or what we're seeing in elisha all of these signs and wonders these great miracles at the hand of elisha have we okay here's the question have we ever seen anyone have these signs and wonders any man any man with the at their hand these signs and wonders have we ever seen anybody come thus far in the first 3200 years with these signs and wonders thank you aeronite thank you monkey moose thank you second third uh robert to talk on it robert to z uh he's getting all of them right yes moses we see moses and then it lingers on uh a little bit of that is with with joshua but that means so we're talking about moses ministry all right so let's go let's go back to the screen again let's go back to the timeline so when did moses disappear when when did he leave moses left the scene approximately we are about 830 moses left the scene approximately six seven eight hundred years prior give a take a day or two approximately approximately someone says is elisha a major profit or minor profit what's the answer ladies and gentlemen what what what is the answer now i don't elisha uh well i'll let the guys answer first uh is would you could would you all consider a lot or what's the answer i have to say but the way what's the answer is elisha a major or minor profit he's just a profit neither exactly we don't have major minor profits we talk about major minor profit depending upon what they wrote but every profit is a profit of god and all of their words are as a matter of fact you think about um who we talk about in the the new testament we bring up joe how much did joe write how much did joe say not a whole lot but boy we talk about it there's a guy on the day of pentecost gets up and quotes joe so we don't want to talk about it in in terms of my major minor profits why gave this time i'll put this timeline up again the timeline notice our profits we've got our profits we've got profits to the northern kingdom amos and hoséa we haven't seen them just yet we've got our profits to the southern kingdom we have joe myca isaia zephaniah habakkuk germiah which we haven't gotten to them just yet lamentations ezekiel and daniel those are during the exile and then the profits during the restoration now we also have profits that prophesied to the gentile nations obadi adjona and mayhem by the way that obadi is not the same obadi that we're seeing here now in that we're going to see other profits that show up such as in this case elisha well elisha didn't write a book okay we're going to see another another one as a matter of fact as we read just a little further we're going to see one that's going to also take take his mantle as well okay so the reason why that's important is because here we've got twice or two periods of time where we see power signs and wonders accompanying a man or men in their mission we only have two periods thus far i'm not saying that there have not been signs and wonders other than them god has always been given us signs and wonders i'm saying at the hands of these men so what you can see is that at the hand of a man signs and wonders miracles power was not a normal thing what's normative is that the prophet or the man of god did not come with power just spoke the word now god would turn around and do the do the do the thing he would he would be the one that would bring about some sort of power he would say something to somebody and then he would cause it to happen but not the man of god but here we've got the man of god actually causing things to happen are you with me why is that important because later in life somebody's gonna say they've got these signs and wonders they've got these powers and that all we're trying to do we we want to be biblical christians let's pause let's time out normally we say we won't cover uh what's ahead because we haven't gotten there yet but let's let's pause because i want to make this germane to you and your life now and other people when someone comes and says that prophet so-and-so that apostle so-and-so bishop so-and-so prophet is so-and-so whoever has all these powers tell them go read the bible when they tell you that we want to be we're we're just exhibiting the same power that we saw in the bible this was normal tell them no it's not it's not now when is the next time we're going to see somebody after elisha and then he's going to pass on to elisha elisha with sh when is the next time that we're going to see somebody a man come with power does anybody know i would if we were in class i would have gold stickers i would have remember the little gold stickers we have gold stickers green stickers red stickers give the kid put them on the forehead or you put them on the other side of the head their cheek or the hand who's the next person that comes with power no not the antichrist no jesus definitely not the antichrist jesus is the one who he's the next person that comes with power he's the next person that comes with signs and wonders then after that who's the next who's the next to come with signs and wonders who's the next to come with power after jesus who would be the next to come with signs and wonders or power does anyone know you should know and i can't wait until i see some there we go the apostles the 12 the apostles are next y'all remember them don't y'all peter james john bartholomew we don't talk about bartholomew let's give bartholomew some some recognition faddeus the other judas i said yeah stop saying satan satan they're not coming power although although here's a question off topic does satan have power does satan have any sort of power well yeah he didn't have power in the sense of of to create signs and wonders there's things that and whatever he could whatever he can do is only giving him by the power of god god can also say here go touch this and this will happen someone brought up the 70 sending out the 72 and the 72 he sent down that was just for them because after that 70 they didn't have that same power did they we didn't we didn't say anyone had we didn't see anyone having that power other than apostles after that and so we have the apostles with power then does anyone know i know we're off topic but what we're on topic this is related to this does anyone know who will be the next to have to have power who will be the next to come with some signs and wonders does anybody know and there's there's two differences that you can give the name to we're going to have obviously the antichrist but some but but also these two prophets these witness they're gonna have some power as well why why there's a reason why you see these people coming with power they come with when the Lord allows or has these people to come with power they also bring a message including the antichrist including the that that person who is against us he's got a message and what's gonna happen people are going to listen to him why because of this these signs and wonders and then others are going to listen to these to these these godly men with their signs and wonders and then previous to that the apostles they listened to them they had a message with their signs and wonders and then obviously with Jesus had a message with his signs and we ever wonder why John the Baptist didn't have any signs and wonders he didn't need to because he's just hey introducing dun dun dun dun here's Jesus he's got signs and wonders he's got a message we go back to moses moses had signs and wonders he's got a message now in between here we've got Elijah and then Elijah there's a message there's a there's a message so the question we've got to figure out as we're going what exactly is the message that Elijah and Elijah something's in my my eyelash what exactly is the message that they're trying to convey okay what is the message that they're trying to convey so let's go back to the text let's go back to uh first kings 1820 so Ahab sent a message among the sons of Israel and brought the prophets together at mount karma Elijah came near to all the prophets I'm also all the people and said notice what he says notice what he says I want you all to pay attention you you've got your uh observing caps on your thinking caps a whole lot of thunkin has been done we got some more thinking to do Elijah came near the people and said how long will you hesitate between two opinions if the Lord is God follow him if bell follow him I like the king James version if God be God then follow me they'll be God so how long you owe hard-headed people but the people did not answer him a word so what is Elijah what is Elijah getting ready to do I'm going to show you something let me show you something then Elijah said to the people I alone am left a prophet of the Lord but Baal's prophet are 450 men now let them give us two oxen by the way he's not saying he's the only one he's just saying he's there with them with these 450 and the other 400 now let them give us two oxen let them choose one ox with themselves and cut it up and place it in the wood and put no fire under it and I will prepare the ox and lay it on the wood and I will not put fire under it then you call on the name of your God and I will call upon the name of the Lord and the God who answers by fire he is God and all the people said huh that sound like a good idea ooh a contest I can't wait entertainment let's see the people said that is a good idea so Elijah said to the prophets of Baal choose one ox for yourself and prepared verse 26 then they took the ox which was given to them and they prepared it and called on the name of Baal this is where it gets funny this is where someone needs to make a movie this is where somebody ought to do you know listen I don't even care if it's if it's a few guys with the iphones take your take your phones iphone not an android phone because it probably won't do the job get you an iphone yeah we're shooting android shots today get you a few guys with an iphone and just do some sort of little uh cinematic re recreation of this because this is where it gets fun this is where this is where Elijah says you know what let me pick on these guys and listen I don't have a problem with you making fun of false prophets false teachers I don't have problems you're making fun of false prophets false teachers or people with android phones they are they're fair game these yeah they they android phone people they can't be saved they couldn't be saved they cannot be hearing from the Lord like these false prophets are so again I'm insulted anyway let's go back to it they called on baal oh baal answers could you imagine he said oh baal oh baal oh baal oh baal oh baal but there was no voice and no one answered by the way or the cowboy I'm sorry I should I should I should have threw the cowboys in there too I should have threw the cowboy fans in there too but they've been calling who's blasphemy they've been calling on baal all this time baal has never done anything for it doesn't take much imagination and much self deception to follow something foolish and they have but this will be the last time that they in particular follow this foolishness and it came about at noon that Elijah mocked them and said call out with a loud voice for he is a god either he is occupied or gone aside or is on a journey or perhaps he's asleep and needs to be awakened so they cried with the land he's be just picking with them so they cried a loud with a loud voice and cut themselves according to their customs with swords and lances until blood gushed out on them when midday was passed they raved until the time of the offering of the eating sacrifice but there was no voice no one answered and no one paid attention then Elijah said by the way let's back up so I want you to notice one of the things that he was saying let's go back he said call out for he is a he is a god either he is occupied or gone aside or on a journey one of the things that he's bringing up is maybe your god is using the bathroom yeah maybe maybe he's he's on the the the heavenly toilet maybe he's maybe he's busy maybe he's he's got some things happening Elijah is having fun then Elijah said to all the people come near me so all the people came near to hear him and he repaired the altar of the Lord which had been torn down Elijah took 12 stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob to whom the word of the Lord had come saying Israel shall be your name so with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord and he made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two measures of seed then he arranged the wood and cut the oxen pieces and laid it on the wood and he said filled with four pitches he told them to do it three times one time fill it again and then fill it again once twice three times of water I couldn't figure out a rhyming song a rhyming word to make this make the song fit I'm sorry at the time so the water flowed around the altar and he also filled the trench with water verse 35 36 at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice Elijah the prophet came near and said oh Lord the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob today let it be known that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that I have done all the things at your word answer me oh Lord answer me if this people may know that you oh Lord our God that you have turned their heart back again then the fire of the Lord failed and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust and licked up the water that was in the trench when all the people saw it they fell on their faces and said the Lord he is God the Lord he is God we pause for a second just pause for a second what do you think the message is here what is the message we talked about before every time that God comes with the word there is a message oh by the way this message that's accompanied with these signs and wonders is the exact same message told differently as with Moses the exact same message is told with Jesus and the apostles the exact same message is going to be told and at the end times what is the message someone please tell me what's the myth there it is monkey move the Lord is God he is God as a matter of fact when we get to second kings and then we're going to see Elisha sh we're going to see him perform miracles and a man named Naaman who is part of the enemy this man with leprosy is going to come the wise going to come because his little slave girl who is a Jewish girl says if only my master knew there was a prophet in Israel in other words so that he will also know that the Lord he is God the God of Israel is God so when these signs and wonders come ladies and gentlemen it's only to show the Lord he is God think about it think about them coming out of Israel I mean out of Egypt they want to know for sure God shows that he is God and he shows himself mightily same thing with Elijah and Elisha same thing with Jesus matter of fact the Lord shows up and shows that he is God the apostles testify to that and then we're going to see this again now we won't be here when it happens and so we see God showing himself and we're going to see we probably won't make it to Elisha today a matter of fact I'm pretty sure we won't but same thing will happen when Elisha shows up so let's go ahead and continue verse 30 verse 40 then Elijah said to them seize the prophets of Baal and do not let one of them escape so they seized them and Elijah brought them down and to the Brook of Kishan and slew them there now Elijah said to Ahab because you would have thought that he would told them go and get Ahab himself no he let he spares Ahab go go up eat and drink for there is there is the sound of the roar of a heavy shower remember what's happening there's this famine happening there is the roar of a heavy shower so Ahab went up to eat and drink but Elijah went up to the top of Carmel and he crouched down on the earth and put his face between his knees he said to his servant go up now look toward the sea so he went up and looked and said there is nothing he said go back go back seven times this happens it came about the seventh time that he said behold a cloud as small as a man's hand is coming up from the sea and he said go up and say to Ahab prepare your chariots and go down so the heavy shower does not stop you in other words go tell him the storm is coming leave now so you don't get caught up in this storm notice this here comes another miracle in a little while the sky drew black with clouds or grew black with clouds and wind and there was a heavy shower and Ahab rode and went to Jezreel then the hand of the Lord was on Elijah and girded up his loins and he outran Ahab to Jezreel he's moving now do we think that that the horses on that Ahab was on was just sprinting no they weren't sprinting because horses don't run like that they don't go that fast at a full sprint they they can't do that but at the pace they're going is certainly faster than man that a man could go but the Bible says the Lord girded him up so he became a part marathon runner and part sprinter the Lord girded him up and took him and he and he outruns even Ahab so Ahab is all Ahab just saw a miracle Ahab all with the with the the fire coming down Ahab sees the rain coming another miracle and then Ahab sees that that Elijah outruns his own horses yeah chair thank you Leon team chair is a fire hey man by the way is that a wonderful song I didn't watch much of the movie but as a matter of fact most of you all don't even know the movie but you but if that theme song comes up anyway verse 9 10 19 verse 1 and Ahab told Jezrebel all that Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword then Jezrebel sent a messenger to Elijah saying so may the gods do to me and even more if I do make your life as the life of one by tomorrow about this time and he was afraid and rose and ran for his life and came to bear sheba which belongs to Judah and left his servant there you big chicken you big chicken big chicken that's crazy you you just now what's in his mind of well we know it's in his heart fear how does it happen I don't know but really that's like us we can see God do so many things in our lives we can see a lot of things happen and then five minutes later a few minutes later a day later two days later god where are you god you forgotten about me because we think that why why in the world would he be afraid of Jezrebel your god just called just brought fire down why are you who knows set for the same reason that this thing knocks this person off or that thing knocks that person it's always whatever knocks us off or away from god ladies and gentlemen it's always something small it's always something inconsequential to everyone else but it's something big does it really isn't that big it really but but we act that way oh lord i owe 45 extra dollars on this light bill we get we get so caught up in stuff and it's like we have you not don't you have a whole life you can just roll through your life's rolodex ladies and gentlemen rolodex are these little pieces of cardboard small on a little circular little dill arm and you can just flip through them some of you young folks have no idea what a rolodex is some of you folks are too young even know what a rolodex is all you know cell phone anyway here he is he's afraid all he had to do is just go back through his rolodex like we do just go back and just see whatever god has brought us from praise him for that but again if you want if you want to reach out to god even more so because something small is happening fine why why would god take away the small things if that's what uh if that's the tool that causes you to praise him to reach out to him fine if every time something small something bad happens if every time you are feeling in distress if that's the if that's the tool by which you're going to come to me with that you're going to call on me well then fine why if i'm god why would i take away the very thing that causes you to be closer to me when i want you to be closer to me because i i've seen that by by doing things for you by blessing you that doesn't cause you to keep coming to me but when you're worried and afraid okay fine then i won't take away the things that's going to worry you and cause you fear you big you are powerful a powerful man of god who's also a chicken you're a frady cat that's what you are that's what we are all of us with the same way verse three and he was afraid and rose and ran for his life verse four but he he hit but he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a juniper tree and he requested for himself that he might die and said it is it is enough now oh lord take my life for i'm not better than my father's wow this guy wow he laid down and slept under a juniper tree and behold there was an angel touching him and said to him arise eat then he looked and behold there was at the head a bread cake baked on hot stones and a jar of water now Elijah's by himself an angel touches you and wakes you up you've got bread cake baked i don't know what bread cake is i don't know it sounds like it's delicious baked on hot stones freshly baked and this chicken is still afraid of this woman you got an angel there you got some you got you got this bakery delivered to you the first uber eats and door dash you got a you got your own personal line with god and you're afraid of her this is us though this is elijah representing us the angel the lord came again a second time now by the way this is not the angel the lord and the reason why we can say this is not the angel the lord is because we're not told that we're not told that so i'll come back to that question in a second michael remind me to answer michael's question just a little bit uh verse eight so he arose and ate and i'm sorry verse seven the angel the lord came a second time and said him arise eat because the journey is too great for you so he rose and ate and drank and went in and uh in the strength of that food 40 days and 40 nights to or the mountain of god now i'll stop there because we've got so much more to uh to cover on next week we'll go from on next week we'll go into elijah being told to pass on the mantle to elijah god is still and i want you to notice something god is still dealing with he's still dealing with ahab ahab is by all rights should be destroyed god to just kill him god to just do something god if it were and if it were us we would have done away with ahab but he's not ahab is being shown god over and over and over again as a matter of fact god is going to send another message or show himself to ahab again there's a message in there we're talking about this message we'll talk about this later on on next week and then uh the mantle being passed along to elijah banana bread is you know what i didn't used to eat banana bread until i had my first piece of banana bread and it was hot and warm and i fell in love with it i fell in love with it i don't know why you just brought that up now i've got to have my kids or somebody so maybe i'll go to the store and go find some banana maybe i'll get somebody to make some banana bread i think we'll find an old 80 year old uh woman i don't care if she's white or black they whoever it is if she's 80 she can bake banana bread yeah and um i'll give her a smart crescent t-shirt and payment for banana bread anyway uh sharyl and robert to see thank you guys for the super chat thank you so much but michael asks this question he says where is rock bottom for you uh when will you repent what's what's it going to take even a lot of homeless people so maybe michael thinks i haven't repented my question would be this i don't have i don't have a problem ask this question i don't have a problem answer this question online he says when is now are you asking when am i going to repent as though i have not repented well if you think i have not repented then if you think michael or anyone else if you think that i have not repented perhaps i won't perhaps i never will or maybe i have repented maybe i have repented uh and maybe i don't know i don't oh he said not me personally okay okay i said oh you mean in general okay you said went okay i i told you guys this some time before everybody while everyone was talking about different cakes i told you all this before what causes a person to change to change their mind to change their tune or just there's two things two things only that it comes in different fashions different ways there's two two things that will make you change two things only there's there's nothing else in the history of mankind that can make someone change other than these two things one something on the outside or two something on the inside okay those are the only two things something on the outside or something on the inside on the outside when we were growing up it used to be a belt it used to be a switch some folks used to be extension cord used to be a pot it used to be whatever your your mama or your daddy or your grandparents or your teacher yet teachers used to be able to beat you back then whatever someone could do to change it what did it take you to stop bullying other kids well some of the kid punched in the mouth something on the outside what did it take you to learn that you can't jump off of a tree out of the treehouse or what did it take you to learn sir something on the outside something hit you in the top of your head brush your teeth broke your arm what have you know you know the things in life that just cause you you know i won't do that again because the pain is too great oh i don't want to go through that and so by getting um disciplined by getting some sort of beating that will change you something on the outside sometimes if you have the police around you if you have the authorities around you if you're in prison those those bars help to correct you those officers at the towers with those guns that can that can kind of again something on the outside can make you change your tune okay however the problem is this what happens when what's on the outside is no longer on the outside what happens when you don't have those things that were causing you those restraints what happens when they're gone she said a wiffleball bat what happens when the wiffleball bat is gone what happens when the belt is gone what happens when the officer is gone what happens when all of those things are gone will you have will the outside thing have changed you on the inside because guess what an outside correction can change a person on the inside do you all agree do you all agree that an out something on the outside can change you on the inside? How many of you all agree that something on the outside can change you on the inside? Well, you all have to agree to some degree. How many of you all got spankings, whoopens, whatever you want to call it, paddlings, when you're growing up? And the thing that you got spanked for or in trouble for, you don't, you no longer do anymore. How many of you all ever put your hand in fire? I've touched fire before. How many times did it take? One time. I don't need fire around me to teach me, don't touch fire. Don't touch. I've touched a hot stove before. I don't need a hot stove or fire to remind me or to tell me that I need to stay away. Don't touch hot stuff with your bare hand. So something on the outside can cause such a reaction on the inside. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. Guess what we saw in the Old Testament? We saw something on the outside with a lot of these men that would work with him on the inside. Did any of these men have the Holy Spirit in them? Not in them, no. No. But especially these mighty men, they had something on the outside speaking them, showing them. And then every now and then they were still, Lord, why is this woman trying to kill me? It's time for you to die. Because again, something on the inside needs to start working on him. But something on the outside has to come touch him and get yourself right. Something on the outside. But now we've got something on the inside that will work. We have the Holy Spirit that will work on the inside. Now, by the way, everything that works on the inside is not necessarily a godly thing, because there are some people that have been changed on the inside. They might be a devout Muslim inside. They might be a devout Buddhist inside. They might be a devout whatever on the inside. And it's changed them. They will act a certain way according to their inside. However, what makes you repent in a godly fashion is only by the grace of God. And so what God will do is God will, because you can keep telling somebody something over and over and over again, or you can be told over and over and over again. The more times you've been told, the more times that person has been told, that's one time less if they have left before they actually get this outside correction. And the outside correction can be something physical. Okay, you lose an arm. You get beat up, something physical, some sort of medical condition happens. It can be something financial, something mental. It can be prison. It can be death. God is speaking to you. Ahab, God is trying to tell you something. Ahab. And so if you're not going to listen, you don't have forever to listen, and you won't be able to say, well, I didn't know. Oh yeah, you will. You will be able to say, you'll have to say, yeah, God, you showed me. I messed up. And then you're going to want that last chance. Give me one more chance. Nope. Gave you 40 of them. Gave you 8,000. I gave you a chance every day you woke up and you thumbed your nose at me. You saw me. You saw what I did and didn't care. So that's usually what it's going to take. It's going to say, if the Word of God, let's put it back on the screen, if the Word of God isn't going to do it, Michael, then it's going to take a beating with the Word of God to get you to walk right. And if the Word of God combined with the beating, combined with falling down, combined with something bad happening, then the next step is the Word of God is gone, and now all you got left with is just that beating and then death. That's just how God works. And unfortunately, though, there are some people, guys that just will not learn. I don't care if it's in your own family. Just because it's your child or your parent or your sibling or what have you, or your grandchild, doesn't mean that they're entitled to do right. A lot of grandkids, a lot of kids, a lot of parents, a lot of siblings are going to hell and have been told. So all you can do, all you can do is all you can do, live godly and hold it before them, live in a humble fashion, give them an example. That's all you can do. Amen. So you want to apologize to me and hope you forget. I'm not sure why you're apologizing, but okay. You know what, let me say this. I'll go back and edit this part out because it's not necessarily germane or necessary to the Bible. But I want to say this. Recently, I've had about three or four phone calls from people who, hey, listen, if you ever have a question, ever have an issue, anything, hey, you are always welcome to call me up. Have you all heard me say that in the past before? Seriously, if you have an issue, if you think I'm wrong or think I'm this, think I'm insane, think I'm whatever it is, whatever it is, you can call me. You can reach out to me. Eventually, I'll see that you're trying to reach out to me and I will send you the information that, hey, we can call, we can talk. And so there's some folks that, hey, listen, I'm sorry, I apologize. You know, folks have said, hey, listen, I'm not going to say all the different people that have reached out, but I've gotten a few apologies because, oh yeah, do just call and talk to me. I'll tell you, I'll tell you whatever you want to know. You even, okay. I will, I'm going to go look for it afterwards. Sharma, I'll go look for it afterwards. I will go look for it. But this is what I told them. There's nothing for me to forgive. When I tell you that I really am not, guys, Brian would probably know better than you guys. Matter of fact, Devante would also know. Guys, I really am not bothered when people say bad things about me or they think bad things about me or they, I promise you. Matter of fact, wait a second. Wait a second. Did I see, did I see Gino in the chats? I don't know if I saw my buddy, and I'll put it out there for my buddy from prison. Gino, are you still out there in the chats? I don't know if you are not. He'll tell you, this stuff doesn't bother me. I promise you, it just doesn't bother me. People have called me all kinds of names for the longest. And I said, yeah, man, listen, yeah, I'm that answer. All that stuff. He was early okay. He must have left. I need to talk about, I need to call them all kinds of names that way I can, but there's nothing for me to forgive really. If a person, if a person thinks of me a certain way, and then you, and then eventually say, you know what I was wrong for that? Hey man, that's all I could ever hope for. I don't have the right to say, I don't have the right to say you should have never thought bad about me from the beginning. Who am I to say that? What kind of person am I to say, you should never, ever have thought anything bad about me. I've never given you a reason to think ill of me. Probably give you a bunch of reasons to think ill of me. So I can never say that. I have, honestly guys, I've kind of seen life for what it is. And the smaller things, there's no need to sweat those things, not to be bothered by those things. I'm always open for someone to forgive. Why am I always open to not let those things bother me? Because I need God to look at me that way. I need God to say, hey, I forgive you. Why? Because I have, I've forgiven people, even without them asking for it, because I need forgiveness. I need forgiveness. So now people are shooting at me. People, people are shooting at me. That's okay though. I forgive every last one of you people in the chat that are shooting shots at me. It's okay though. It's okay. It is okay. I think if you get, if you get beat up, if you get just knocked down, it's just one thing to get beat up by some people. It's nothing to get beat up by God. And when you get beat up, when you get beat up by God, man, listen, after God is through whooping you, you ever got a whooping? The best feeling you have in the world, after your mom or your daddy was giving you a spanking, once they stopped, you felt good. It's like, wow, I can, I'm good now. After God gets through beating a beat in a snot out of you, you feel so much better. You feel so. And the other things don't matter to you. What he said, what she said, what they did, don't, doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. I'm not going to harbor any ill will towards anybody because I don't want God to do the same thing. Because it's, it's just a learning process. It's life. So, uh, brothers, I'm not sure if you, did you say brother? I think it was brother. Anyway, um, I don't, I forgive you. I don't know what you did, but whatever you said or did or whatever. Hey, no, no problem. Love you. I promise you, I love you. I love you to death. Love you to death. Even folks that are still trash me. If you call me, we'll talk. We'll talk. So anyway, guys, I love you so much. Hold on. Yes, I was, I was reading a comment. Somebody was saying something. Get a smart Christian channel phone. Get a smart Christian channel. What does, what does, uh, off question. I'm not going to question, question and ask for it, but amen means it is so. It's what it is. It is, it is. That's what it is. So, um, Oh, okay. Send me, send me it. Send me a text. Send me an email. And then, um, so I can send these jokes. Send me an email. Um, and I'll get back now. I won't, I won't respond to anybody, uh, up until Wednesday or Thursday. I've got so much. I, when I, I say so much, dude, I've got a couple of papers to turn in. I got some other stuff to do. So it won't be until Thursday at the earliest. So in the meantime, guys, make sure you guys are doing your homework. Um, people have started sending their homework in already, but mainly the main one, the one that we're going to was, is it John one? Is it John one? John one, I think it's, it's a John one. Yeah. John one, read the whole chapter, make your observations, get your themes, notice your words that are being repeated. That was the theme, main characters, all that stuff.

So go and join for free, for free, uh, to the Patreon and then take part in, um, growing in the Lord. Laquisa says, I have too much homework, which means a little more homework wouldn't hurt you. So anyway, guys, I love you all. And I, if Lord stays the same, Lord willing, I will see you all on tomorrow.
