- 00:02:37.037 --> 00:02:39.540
- Talking about the ships. strange that the bible
- 00:02:39.607 --> 00:02:41.275
- Strange that the bible is so detailed.
- 00:02:41.342 --> 00:02:43.177
- Is so detailed. it's interesting that
- 00:02:43.244 --> 00:02:44.545
- It's interesting that when you read the bible,
- 00:02:44.612 --> 00:02:46.080
- When you read the bible, you begin to see the israel
- 00:02:46.146 --> 00:02:47.715
- You begin to see the israel when they would move forward
- 00:02:47.781 --> 00:02:48.983
- When they would move forward to take the promised land
- 00:02:49.049 --> 00:02:50.517
- To take the promised land there were 12 tribes.
- 00:02:50.584 --> 00:02:51.652
- There were 12 tribes. and the first tribes
- 00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:52.786
- And the first tribes that was commanded
- 00:02:52.853 --> 00:02:53.887
- That was commanded every time god said an order,
- 00:02:53.954 --> 00:02:55.756
- Every time god said an order, and they had to follow
- 00:02:55.823 --> 00:02:56.657
- And they had to follow the strict order that
- 00:02:56.724 --> 00:02:58.092
- The strict order that when they were moving
- 00:02:58.158 --> 00:02:58.959
- When they were moving into new territory
- 00:02:59.026 --> 00:03:00.728
- Into new territory it was the tribe of judah
- 00:03:00.794 --> 00:03:02.596
- It was the tribe of judah that went first,
- 00:03:02.663 --> 00:03:03.597
- That went first, and judah means praise.
- 00:03:03.664 --> 00:03:05.266
- And judah means praise. so, when judah goes first --
- 00:03:05.332 --> 00:03:07.601
- So, when judah goes first -- when judah goes out
- 00:03:07.668 --> 00:03:09.003
- When judah goes out first then victory --
- 00:03:09.069 --> 00:03:10.337
- First then victory -- when judah's on the way,
- 00:03:10.404 --> 00:03:11.672
- When judah's on the way, victory is on the way.
- 00:03:11.739 --> 00:03:13.307
- Victory is on the way. and when judah would go,
- 00:03:13.374 --> 00:03:14.808
- And when judah would go, everybody would see that
- 00:03:14.875 --> 00:03:16.477
- Everybody would see that they're coming into
- 00:03:16.543 --> 00:03:17.911
- They're coming into the promised land
- 00:03:17.978 --> 00:03:18.846
- The promised land and they're doing great things.
- 00:03:18.912 --> 00:03:20.614
- And they're doing great things. but i've often thought about
- 00:03:20.681 --> 00:03:22.082
- But i've often thought about the second, or the third,
- 00:03:22.149 --> 00:03:23.884
- The second, or the third, or the fourth tribe.
- 00:03:23.951 --> 00:03:24.918
- Or the fourth tribe. but maybe after a few hours,
- 00:03:24.985 --> 00:03:25.653
- But maybe after a few hours, after, you know, everybody
- 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.322
- After, you know, everybody made a big deal about judah.
- 00:03:28.389 --> 00:03:29.823
- Made a big deal about judah. and judah was praised.
- 00:03:29.890 --> 00:03:31.525

- That everybody sees. but what about that
- 00:03:38.832 --> 00:03:40.034
- But what about that pitiful twelfth tribe?
- 00:03:40.100 --> 00:03:42.469
- Pitiful twelfth tribe? seven hours later,
- 00:03:42.536 --> 00:03:44.772

- And they're showing up, and it's the tribe of dan.
- 00:03:49.076 --> 00:03:51.745
