The gibeonites were a tribe that had joined israel.
00:04:53.473 --> 00:04:54.974
That had joined israel. they were not jewish,
00:04:55.041 --> 00:04:56.042
They were not jewish, but they had joined israel.
00:04:56.109 --> 00:04:58.945
But they had joined israel. and joshua had made
00:04:59.011 --> 00:05:02.415
And joshua had made a covenant with them.
00:05:02.482 --> 00:05:03.783
A covenant with them. moses had made
00:05:03.850 --> 00:05:04.717
Moses had made a covenant with them.
00:05:04.784 --> 00:05:06.786
A covenant with them. and all these years,
00:05:06.853 --> 00:05:08.488
And all these years, that covenant had been kept.
00:05:08.554 --> 00:05:10.356
That covenant had been kept. and when saul became king,
00:05:10.423 --> 00:05:13.126
And when saul became king, he did not keep the covenant,
00:05:13.192 --> 00:05:18.364
He did not keep the covenant, and it displeased god greatly
00:05:18.431 --> 00:05:20.299
And it displeased god greatly because god is a god
00:05:20.366 --> 00:05:21.801
Because god is a god of covenant.
00:05:21.868 --> 00:05:23.870
Of covenant. and in return,
00:05:23.936 --> 00:05:24.971
And in return, when the gibeonites
00:05:25.037 --> 00:05:25.838
When the gibeonites had the power,
00:05:25.905 --> 00:05:28.107
Had the power, they wanted revenge on saul
00:05:28.174 --> 00:05:30.376

For many of their families had been slaughtered.
00:05:33.646 --> 00:05:36.916
Had been slaughtered. and so, in requirement,
00:05:36.983 --> 00:05:39.218

"to pay for what jonathan and david
00:05:45.992 --> 00:05:47.193
And david and the family line," --
00:05:47.260 --> 00:05:48.261
And the family line," -- or i should say,
00:05:48.327 --> 00:05:49.328
Or i should say, "what saul and jonathan's
00:05:49.395 --> 00:05:51.664
"what saul and jonathan's family line has done to us,
00:05:51.731 --> 00:05:55.067
Family line has done to us, we want his descendants."

And so, they got all of the sons of saul,
00:05:59.972 --> 00:06:04.710
Of the sons of saul, really five of them,

And for three months, some say even four months,
00:06:28.334 --> 00:06:30.603
Some say even four months, but the time of the harvest
00:06:30.670 --> 00:06:33.139
But the time of the harvest basically is three months.

Between heaven and hell. between the heavens and between
00:07:02.768 --> 00:07:09.075
Between the heavens and between what was beneath the earth.
00:07:09.141 --> 00:07:11.010

The vultures to land and destroy what was left of her
00:07:23.022 --> 00:07:25.057
And destroy what was left of her children even though they were
00:07:25.124 --> 00:07:27.226
Children even though they were decaying right before her eyes.
00:07:27.293 --> 00:07:30.897
Decaying right before her eyes. she would even,
00:07:30.963 --> 00:07:31.998

In the parable that jesus taught,
00:08:06.465 --> 00:08:07.700
Jesus taught, the birds that come to steal
00:08:07.767 --> 00:08:10.269
The birds that come to steal the seed that is planted
00:08:10.336 --> 00:08:12.471

I want you to -- i want you to yearn to see
00:12:49.114 --> 00:12:50.816
I want you to yearn to see your children at the altar.
00:12:50.883 --> 00:12:52.785
Your children at the altar. i want you to yearn to hear

Them saying, "daddy, mom, i'm coming home."
00:13:00.292 --> 00:13:02.494
[cheering]
00:13:02.795 --> 00:13:07.299
Can't you hear it?
00:13:07.666 --> 00:13:10.803
Here's the point
00:13:12.404 --> 00:13:13.305
Here's the point that i've been wanting
00:13:13.372 --> 00:13:14.073
That i've been wanting to get to now.
00:13:14.139 --> 00:13:16.775
To get to now. because there is a king.
00:13:16.842 --> 00:13:20.846
Because there is a king. i don't know if you caught it,
00:13:20.913 --> 00:13:22.248
I don't know if you caught it, but this word was used
00:13:22.314 --> 00:13:22.948
But this word was used in the text i read,
00:13:23.015 --> 00:13:23.983
In the text i read, "the king heard about
00:13:24.049 --> 00:13:27.186
"the king heard about the woman who wouldn't
00:13:27.253 --> 00:13:28.687
The woman who wouldn't quit praying,
00:13:28.754 --> 00:13:29.622
Quit praying, and when they told him,
00:13:29.688 --> 00:13:32.024
And when they told him, the king went and gathered
00:13:32.091 --> 00:13:36.262
The king went and gathered the bones and took --
00:13:36.328 --> 00:13:41.233
The bones and took -- cut them down,
00:13:41.300 --> 00:13:43.002
Cut them down, gathered the bones."
00:13:43.068 --> 00:13:48.774
Gathered the bones." as long as the bones are there,
00:13:48.841 --> 00:13:51.644
As long as the bones are there, there's history there,
00:13:51.710 --> 00:13:52.978
There's history there, there's proof there,
00:13:53.045 --> 00:13:54.246
There's proof there, there's structure there.
00:13:54.313 --> 00:13:56.982
There's structure there. he gathered the bones back.
00:13:57.049 --> 00:13:59.218
He gathered the bones back. the king, i believe,
00:13:59.285 --> 00:14:01.687
The king, i believe, is about to gather the bones.
00:14:01.754 --> 00:14:04.857
Is about to gather the bones. i believe we're about to see
00:14:04.924 --> 00:14:06.191
I believe we're about to see unprecedented prodigal sons
00:14:06.258 --> 00:14:09.128
Unprecedented prodigal sons and daughters come back
00:14:09.194 --> 00:14:12.831
And daughters come back to the father's house.
00:14:12.898 --> 00:14:15.634
To the father's house. if we won't give up,
00:14:15.701 --> 00:14:16.635
If we won't give up, if we won't quit,
00:14:16.702 --> 00:14:17.670
If we won't quit, if we won't say,
00:14:17.736 --> 00:14:18.637
If we won't say, "it's been so long
00:14:18.704 --> 00:14:19.505
"it's been so long and nothing's changed."
00:14:19.571 --> 00:14:21.106
And nothing's changed." that is not the voice
00:14:21.173 --> 00:14:22.241
That is not the voice of the holy spirit.
00:14:22.308 --> 00:14:23.876
Of the holy spirit. the voice of the holy spirit
00:14:23.943 --> 00:14:25.978
The voice of the holy spirit is saying, "fight."
00:14:26.045 --> 00:14:30.950
Is saying, "fight." the king is about

To gather the bones. the king heard her cry.
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:39.925
The king heard her cry. look at this verse in romans 6,

Was raised from the dead by the glory of the father,
00:15:10.356 --> 00:15:11.357
By the glory of the father, so even also we should

So even also we should walk in newness of life,
00:15:13.993 --> 00:15:17.129
Walk in newness of life, for if we have been united

Together in the likeness of his death,
00:15:19.999 --> 00:15:20.466
Of his death, certainly we shall be
