- And then he starts talking about the ships.
- 00:02:36.903 --> 00:02:39.405
- Talking about the ships. strange that the bible
- 00:02:39.472 --> 00:02:41.140
- Strange that the bible is so detailed.
- 00:02:41.207 --> 00:02:43.042
- Is so detailed. it's interesting that
- 00:02:43.109 --> 00:02:44.410
- It's interesting that when you read the bible,
- 00:02:44.477 --> 00:02:45.945
- When you read the bible, you begin to see the israel
- 00:02:46.012 --> 00:02:47.580
- You begin to see the israel when they would move forward
- 00:02:47.647 --> 00:02:48.848
- When they would move forward to take the promised land
- 00:02:48.915 --> 00:02:50.383
- To take the promised land there were 12 tribes.
- 00:02:50.450 --> 00:02:51.517
- There were 12 tribes. and the first tribes
- 00:02:51.584 --> 00:02:52.652
- And the first tribes that was commanded
- 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:53.753
- That was commanded every time god said an order,
- 00:02:53.820 --> 00:02:55.622
- Every time god said an order, and they had to follow
- 00:02:55.688 --> 00:02:56.522
- And they had to follow the strict order that
- 00:02:56.589 --> 00:02:57.957
- The strict order that when they were moving
- 00:02:58.024 --> 00:02:58.825
- When they were moving into new territory
- 00:02:58.891 --> 00:03:00.593
- Into new territory it was the tribe of judah
- 00:03:00.660 --> 00:03:02.462
- It was the tribe of judah that went first,
- 00:03:02.528 --> 00:03:03.463
- That went first, and judah means praise.
- 00:03:03.529 --> 00:03:05.131
- And judah means praise. so, when judah goes first --
- 00:03:05.198 --> 00:03:07.467
- So, when judah goes first -- when judah goes out
- 00:03:07.533 --> 00:03:08.868
- When judah goes out first then victory --
- 00:03:08.935 --> 00:03:10.203
- First then victory -- when judah's on the way,
- 00:03:10.270 --> 00:03:11.537
- When judah's on the way, victory is on the way.
- 00:03:11.604 --> 00:03:13.172
- Victory is on the way. and when judah would go,
- 00:03:13.239 --> 00:03:14.674
- And when judah would go, everybody would see that
- 00:03:14.741 --> 00:03:16.342
- Everybody would see that they're coming into
- 00:03:16.409 --> 00:03:17.777
- They're coming into the promised land
- 00:03:17.844 --> 00:03:18.711
- The promised land and they're doing great things.
- 00:03:18.778 --> 00:03:20.480
- And they're doing great things. but i've often thought about
- 00:03:20.546 --> 00:03:21.948
- But i've often thought about the second, or the third,
- 00:03:22.015 --> 00:03:23.750
- The second, or the third, or the fourth tribe.
- 00:03:23.816 --> 00:03:24.784
- Or the fourth tribe. but maybe after a few hours,
- 00:03:24.851 --> 00:03:25.518
- But maybe after a few hours, after, you know, everybody
- 00:03:25.585 --> 00:03:28.187
- After, you know, everybody made a big deal about judah.
- 00:03:28.254 --> 00:03:29.689
- Made a big deal about judah. and judah was praised.
- 00:03:29.756 --> 00:03:31.391

- That everybody sees. but what about that
- 00:03:38.698 --> 00:03:39.899
- But what about that pitiful twelfth tribe?
- 00:03:39.966 --> 00:03:42.335
- Pitiful twelfth tribe? seven hours later,
- 00:03:42.402 --> 00:03:44.637

- And they're showing up, and it's the tribe of dan.
- 00:03:48.941 --> 00:03:51.611

- 00:16:42.548 --> 00:16:45.851
- Couples in this church. so many of you are struggling,
- 00:16:45.918 --> 00:16:48.620

- 00:16:49.955 --> 00:16:51.523
- Had struggled in our marriage from time to time,
- 00:16:51.590 --> 00:16:53.125
- From time to time, especially in the younger years,
- 00:16:53.192 --> 00:16:56.895
- Especially in the younger years, especially when our family
- 00:16:56.962 --> 00:16:58.330
- Especially when our family had something going on,
- 00:16:58.397 --> 00:17:00.332
- Had something going on, it brings stress
- 00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:01.533
- It brings stress from every direction,
- 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:02.634
- From every direction, or the church and everything
- 00:17:02.701 --> 00:17:04.503
- Or the church and everything would seem to hit it
- 00:17:04.570 --> 00:17:05.604
