Jentezen Franklin - Wounds That Glow In The Dark (Part 1)

April 28, 2025 | 27:28

Jentezen Franklin explores the concept of "Wounds that Glow in the Dark" through the story of Job from the book of 2 Corinthians. Job's experiences of immense loss, suffering, and eventual restoration serve as a testament to the healing power of God. Drawing parallels to a historical event where wounded soldiers' injuries mysteriously glowed in the dark, Franklin emphasizes how our own wounds and struggles can become sources of comfort and hope for others. The narrative unfolds with a profound call to turn our pain into a beacon of light for those facing similar battles.

00:06:21.885 --> 00:06:23.220
You let 'em go through loss, you let 'em go
00:06:23.287 --> 00:06:23.987
You let 'em go through suffering,
00:06:24.054 --> 00:06:24.621
Through suffering, you let 'em go
00:06:24.688 --> 00:06:25.255
You let 'em go through hard times,
00:06:25.322 --> 00:06:26.256
Through hard times, they'll walk on you.
00:06:26.323 --> 00:06:27.758
They'll walk on you. they'll curse you to your face."
00:06:27.825 --> 00:06:29.059
They'll curse you to your face." and in that moment, job broken,
00:06:29.126 --> 00:06:31.228
And in that moment, job broken, devastated, tears his garment,
00:06:31.295 --> 00:06:33.764
Devastated, tears his garment, falls to the ground weeping,
00:06:33.831 --> 00:06:37.034
Falls to the ground weeping, and he says these
00:06:37.100 --> 00:06:37.768
And he says these powerful words,
00:06:37.835 --> 00:06:39.336
Powerful words, "the lord gives,
00:06:39.403 --> 00:06:40.871
"the lord gives, the lord takes away.
00:06:40.938 --> 00:06:42.773
The lord takes away. blessed be the name
00:06:42.840 --> 00:06:43.974
Blessed be the name of the lord."
00:06:44.041 --> 00:06:45.409
Of the lord." and in that moment,
00:06:45.476 --> 00:06:46.343
And in that moment, i could see just the scene
00:06:46.410 --> 00:06:48.779
I could see just the scene break and lucifer says,
00:06:48.846 --> 00:06:51.048
Break and lucifer says, "you let me do one more thing.
00:06:51.114 --> 00:06:53.250
"you let me do one more thing. you let me attack his body
00:06:53.317 --> 00:06:55.185
You let me attack his body and he'll curse you.
00:06:55.252 --> 00:06:56.987
And he'll curse you. he'll curse you to your face."
00:06:57.054 --> 00:06:58.121
He'll curse you to your face." and god said, "go ahead."
00:06:58.188 --> 00:06:59.356
And god said, "go ahead." job is not aware of this.
00:06:59.423 --> 00:07:02.359
Job is not aware of this. job does not know
00:07:02.426 --> 00:07:03.961
Job does not know what's going on.
00:07:04.027 --> 00:07:04.995
What's going on. god gives no
00:07:05.062 --> 00:07:05.963
God gives no explanation to him.
00:07:06.029 --> 00:07:08.532
Explanation to him. and after a day like that
00:07:08.599 --> 00:07:10.100
And after a day like that you would think that
00:07:10.167 --> 00:07:11.168
You would think that would be enough for anybody,
00:07:11.235 --> 00:07:12.402
Would be enough for anybody, but the next day boils
00:07:12.469 --> 00:07:13.937
But the next day boils break out on job
00:07:14.004 --> 00:07:15.305
Break out on job from the top of his head
00:07:15.372 --> 00:07:16.507
From the top of his head to the soles of his feet,
00:07:16.573 --> 00:07:18.242
To the soles of his feet, the scripture said.
00:07:18.308 --> 00:07:19.676
The scripture said. agonizing, tormenting
00:07:19.743 --> 00:07:22.145
Agonizing, tormenting infection all in his body.
00:07:22.212 --> 00:07:25.315
Infection all in his body. and his wife who is grieving
00:07:25.382 --> 00:07:29.319
And his wife who is grieving for ten children being dead
00:07:29.386 --> 00:07:32.823
For ten children being dead the day before says,
00:07:32.890 --> 00:07:34.892
The day before says, "job, just curse god and die.
00:07:34.958 --> 00:07:37.628
"job, just curse god and die. we're finished.
00:07:37.694 --> 00:07:38.529
We're finished. we've lost everything."
00:07:38.595 --> 00:07:41.532
We've lost everything." and then, his friends,
00:07:41.598 --> 00:07:42.799
And then, his friends, job's friends come and --
00:07:42.866 --> 00:07:44.868
Job's friends come and -- you can read it
00:07:44.935 --> 00:07:45.869
You can read it for 30 chapters,
00:07:45.936 --> 00:07:47.938
For 30 chapters, they do nothing
00:07:48.005 --> 00:07:48.906
They do nothing in his dark hour
00:07:48.972 --> 00:07:51.008
In his dark hour but accuse him and tell him
00:07:51.074 --> 00:07:52.442
But accuse him and tell him it's the judgment of god.
00:07:52.509 --> 00:07:54.344
It's the judgment of god. and you've done secret sin
00:07:54.411 --> 00:07:55.679
And you've done secret sin and you're getting
00:07:55.746 --> 00:07:56.580
And you're getting what you deserve,
00:07:56.647 --> 00:07:57.381
What you deserve, and this is god
00:07:57.447 --> 00:07:58.382
And this is god getting back at you,
00:07:58.448 --> 00:07:59.283
Getting back at you, and you're not righteous,
00:07:59.349 --> 00:08:00.851
And you're not righteous, and you don't --
00:08:00.918 --> 00:08:01.652
And you don't -- you're a hypocrite.
00:08:01.718 --> 00:08:02.786
You're a hypocrite. they called him name
00:08:02.853 --> 00:08:04.454
They called him name after name in humiliation
00:08:04.521 --> 00:08:07.057
After name in humiliation for 30 chapters.
00:08:07.124 --> 00:08:10.060
It's really something.
00:08:13.697 --> 00:08:18.502
It's really something. and in that moment,
00:08:18.569 --> 00:08:20.370
And in that moment, when he refused to bow,
00:08:20.437 --> 00:08:22.839
When he refused to bow, "though he slay me,
00:08:22.906 --> 00:08:24.441
"though he slay me, yet will i trust him."
00:08:24.508 --> 00:08:26.510
Yet will i trust him." it was in that moment
00:08:26.577 --> 00:08:28.512
It was in that moment that he won the victory,
00:08:28.579 --> 00:08:29.813
That he won the victory, and the bible said
00:08:29.880 --> 00:08:30.948
And the bible said he prayed for his friends.
00:08:31.014 --> 00:08:32.883
He prayed for his friends. he did not die in a "why?"
00:08:32.950 --> 00:08:37.421
He did not die in a "why?" he released forgiveness
00:08:37.487 --> 00:08:38.989
He released forgiveness and moved into a divine purpose.
00:08:39.056 --> 00:08:43.327
And moved into a divine purpose. you can die in your why.
00:08:43.393 --> 00:08:46.229
You can die in your why. god may never answer your why,
00:08:46.296 --> 00:08:48.265
God may never answer your why, but i tell you this,
00:08:48.332 --> 00:08:49.933
But i tell you this, if you will release forgiveness
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.003
If you will release forgiveness you will move into
00:08:53.070 --> 00:08:54.071
You will move into the purpose of the pain
00:08:54.137 --> 00:08:55.672
The purpose of the pain that you have gone through.
00:08:55.739 --> 00:08:58.141
That you have gone through. jesus was on the cross
00:08:58.208 --> 00:08:59.309
Jesus was on the cross and he asked,
00:08:59.376 --> 00:09:00.210
And he asked, "why have you forsaken me?"
00:09:00.277 --> 00:09:03.046
"why have you forsaken me?" there are times
00:09:03.113 --> 00:09:04.147
There are times when we cry, "why?"
00:09:04.214 --> 00:09:06.083
When we cry, "why?" and it's not wrong to say why,
00:09:06.149 --> 00:09:09.019
And it's not wrong to say why, but don't die in your why.
00:09:09.086 --> 00:09:11.989
But don't die in your why. jesus on that same cross,
00:09:12.055 --> 00:09:13.790
Jesus on that same cross, when he did not get
00:09:13.857 --> 00:09:14.791
When he did not get an answer from the father,
00:09:14.858 --> 00:09:16.627
An answer from the father, he said, "why have you
00:09:16.693 --> 00:09:17.794
He said, "why have you forsaken me?"
00:09:17.861 --> 00:09:18.862
Forsaken me?" he then immediately
00:09:18.929 --> 00:09:20.330
He then immediately in the next verse said,
00:09:20.397 --> 00:09:21.598
In the next verse said, "father, forgive them,
00:09:21.665 --> 00:09:23.767
"father, forgive them, they know --
00:09:23.834 --> 00:09:24.201
They know -- and when he moved
00:09:24.267 --> 00:09:25.535
And when he moved into forgiveness,
00:09:25.602 --> 00:09:26.803
Into forgiveness, he moved from a why
00:09:26.870 --> 00:09:28.905
He moved from a why to eternal purpose.
00:09:28.972 --> 00:09:34.177
To eternal purpose. and so, job speaks
00:09:34.244 --> 00:09:36.313
And so, job speaks and his story --
00:09:36.380 --> 00:09:36.980
And his story -- i mean, think with me,
00:09:37.047 --> 00:09:38.682
I mean, think with me, how many people,
00:09:38.749 --> 00:09:40.250
How many people, how much comfort
00:09:40.317 --> 00:09:42.152
How much comfort has one human being --
00:09:42.219 --> 00:09:43.420
Has one human being -- it's the oldest book
00:09:43.487 --> 00:09:44.521
It's the oldest book in the bible.
00:09:44.588 --> 00:09:45.689
In the bible. they tell us that
00:09:45.756 --> 00:09:47.124
They tell us that he wrote it not personally,
00:09:47.190 --> 00:09:52.262
He wrote it not personally, but probably and almost
00:09:52.329 --> 00:09:53.697
But probably and almost certainly used a translator
00:09:53.764 --> 00:09:56.333
Certainly used a translator and a transcriber.
00:09:56.400 --> 00:09:58.035
And a transcriber. and he told his story
00:09:58.101 --> 00:10:00.270
And he told his story and someone, unnamed,
00:10:00.337 --> 00:10:02.005
And someone, unnamed, wrote it and it became
00:10:02.072 --> 00:10:03.674
Wrote it and it became the oldest book of the bible.
00:10:03.740 --> 00:10:05.909
The oldest book of the bible. and in that parchment
00:10:05.976 --> 00:10:09.112
And in that parchment that would become a message
00:10:09.179 --> 00:10:11.281
That would become a message all over the world --
00:10:11.348 --> 00:10:12.582
All over the world -- do you know that the bible said
00:10:12.649 --> 00:10:13.884
Do you know that the bible said in the book of job 42 that,
00:10:13.950 --> 00:10:17.087
In the book of job 42 that, he lived a 140 years
00:10:17.154 --> 00:10:18.989
He lived a 140 years after his trial?
00:10:19.056 --> 00:10:20.957
After his trial? and what's interesting
00:10:21.024 --> 00:10:22.092
And what's interesting about his story is,
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:23.293
About his story is, he did not write that book
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:24.494
He did not write that book or didn't have that book written
00:10:24.561 --> 00:10:27.197
Or didn't have that book written and tell his whole story in
00:10:27.264 --> 00:10:29.299
And tell his whole story in the middle of his trial.
00:10:29.366 --> 00:10:31.234
The middle of his trial. he waited three years
00:10:31.301 --> 00:10:32.402
He waited three years before he wrote the book,
00:10:32.469 --> 00:10:35.372
Before he wrote the book, and he had someone
00:10:35.439 --> 00:10:36.540
And he had someone write it for him.
00:10:36.606 --> 00:10:37.441
Write it for him. he told his story.
00:10:37.507 --> 00:10:38.842
He told his story. don't write your story
00:10:38.909 --> 00:10:41.411
Don't write your story in the middle of your story.
00:10:41.478 --> 00:10:43.947
In the middle of your story. don't think because
00:10:44.014 --> 00:10:45.315
Don't think because you're hurting right now
00:10:45.382 --> 00:10:47.684
You're hurting right now and you don't
00:10:47.751 --> 00:10:48.151
And you don't understand right now,
00:10:48.218 --> 00:10:49.486
Understand right now, and it makes no sense,
00:10:49.553 --> 00:10:51.488
And it makes no sense, and you feel god-forsaken.
00:10:51.555 --> 00:10:52.789
And you feel god-forsaken. job was right where you are
00:10:52.856 --> 00:10:55.492
Job was right where you are right now and you're asking why,
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:58.462
Right now and you're asking why, and the pain is real
00:10:58.528 --> 00:10:59.963
And the pain is real and you are numb from it,
00:11:00.030 --> 00:11:01.965
And you are numb from it, and you are broken from it.
00:11:02.032 --> 00:11:04.534
And you are broken from it. but don't write
00:11:04.601 --> 00:11:05.602
But don't write your story until you get
00:11:05.669 --> 00:11:07.304
Your story until you get to the end of the story.
00:11:07.370 --> 00:11:09.106
To the end of the story. and if you're in
00:11:09.172 --> 00:11:10.140
And if you're in the middle of it,
00:11:10.207 --> 00:11:11.274
The middle of it, it looks dark,
00:11:11.341 --> 00:11:12.609
It looks dark, but job got to looking
00:11:12.676 --> 00:11:14.044
But job got to looking back three years later
00:11:14.111 --> 00:11:15.779
Back three years later and he said,
00:11:15.846 --> 00:11:16.646
And he said, "i'm gonna
00:11:16.713 --> 00:11:16.913
"i'm gonna tell my story now,
00:11:16.980 --> 00:11:18.815
Tell my story now, because i can truly say --"
00:11:18.882 --> 00:11:20.751
Because i can truly say --" and the bible said,
00:11:20.817 --> 00:11:21.785
And the bible said, "the lord blessed job double."
00:11:21.852 --> 00:11:25.522
"the lord blessed job double." he went to 14,00 sheep,
00:11:25.589 --> 00:11:27.924
He went to 14,00 sheep, and he went to 6,000 camels,
00:11:27.991 --> 00:11:31.261
And he went to 6,000 camels, and he went to 1,000 oxen,
00:11:31.328 --> 00:11:33.196
And he went to 1,000 oxen, and 1,000 ox, and 1,000 donkeys.
00:11:33.263 --> 00:11:38.135
And 1,000 ox, and 1,000 donkeys. and he went to seven more sons,
00:11:38.201 --> 00:11:41.438
And he went to seven more sons, and three daughters that were
00:11:41.505 --> 00:11:43.807
And three daughters that were the most beautiful in the land,"
00:11:43.874 --> 00:11:45.475
The most beautiful in the land," the scripture said.
00:11:45.542 --> 00:11:46.810
The scripture said. because he had seven
00:11:46.877 --> 00:11:47.878
Because he had seven in heaven and he --
00:11:47.944 --> 00:11:49.613
In heaven and he -- sons and three daughters
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:50.881
Sons and three daughters in heaven, so god doubled
00:11:50.947 --> 00:11:52.749
In heaven, so god doubled that by giving him seven
00:11:52.816 --> 00:11:54.384
That by giving him seven on earth and three.
00:11:54.451 --> 00:11:58.455
On earth and three. my point is simply this,
00:11:58.522 --> 00:12:00.991
My point is simply this, how many people have been
00:12:01.057 --> 00:12:02.926
How many people have been helped by job's story?
00:12:02.993 --> 00:12:06.129
Helped by job's story? how many times did people
00:12:06.196 --> 00:12:07.664
How many times did people come to him who were broken?
00:12:07.731 --> 00:12:09.466
Come to him who were broken? how many times did people
00:12:09.533 --> 00:12:11.034
How many times did people come to him who had
00:12:11.101 --> 00:12:11.935
Come to him who had lost a family member?
00:12:12.002 --> 00:12:14.471
Lost a family member? who had lost a son,
00:12:14.538 --> 00:12:15.338
Who had lost a son, or a daughter and he would
00:12:15.405 --> 00:12:17.040
Or a daughter and he would tell his story, tell his story
00:12:17.107 --> 00:12:19.676
Tell his story, tell his story for 140 years.
00:12:19.743 --> 00:12:21.478
For 140 years. how many broken families?
00:12:21.545 --> 00:12:23.079
How many broken families? how many people
00:12:23.146 --> 00:12:23.880
How many people who were diagnosed with
00:12:23.947 --> 00:12:24.981
Who were diagnosed with a horrible disease
00:12:25.048 --> 00:12:26.183
A horrible disease and they felt like they were
00:12:26.249 --> 00:12:27.517
And they felt like they were at the end of the world,
00:12:27.584 --> 00:12:28.852
At the end of the world, and they were given
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:29.519
And they were given a death sentence?
00:12:29.586 --> 00:12:30.720
A death sentence? and they would come
00:12:30.787 --> 00:12:31.488
And they would come and sit at his feet,
00:12:31.555 --> 00:12:32.722
And sit at his feet, and he would tell his story,
00:12:32.789 --> 00:12:34.090
And he would tell his story, and put his arms around them.
00:12:34.157 --> 00:12:35.559
And put his arms around them. and he comforted them
00:12:35.625 --> 00:12:37.427
And he comforted them with the same comfort
00:12:37.494 --> 00:12:39.329
With the same comfort god had given him.
00:12:39.396 --> 00:12:41.264
God had given him. how long?
00:12:41.331 --> 00:12:42.032
How long? i mean, did he ever
00:12:42.098 --> 00:12:43.834
I mean, did he ever suffer again?
00:12:43.900 --> 00:12:45.569
Suffer again? did he ever get a pimple
00:12:45.635 --> 00:12:47.370
Did he ever get a pimple or that looked like a boil?
00:12:47.437 --> 00:12:49.639
Or that looked like a boil? and did he freak out?
00:12:49.706 --> 00:12:51.441
And did he freak out? did he have great trepidation,
00:12:51.508 --> 00:12:53.210
Did he have great trepidation, "oh, my god, it's coming back"?
00:12:53.276 --> 00:12:55.478
"oh, my god, it's coming back"? did he ever see one of his
00:12:55.545 --> 00:12:58.915
Did he ever see one of his own children die again?
00:12:58.982 --> 00:13:00.750
Own children die again? did he ever go to the funeral
00:13:00.817 --> 00:13:02.485
Did he ever go to the funeral of one of his grandchildren?
00:13:02.552 --> 00:13:05.055
Of one of his grandchildren? did he ever --
00:13:05.121 --> 00:13:06.122
Did he ever -- we think about this
00:13:06.189 --> 00:13:08.058
We think about this 140 years.
00:13:08.124 --> 00:13:09.960
140 years. think beyond
00:13:10.026 --> 00:13:11.094
Think beyond even when he died,
00:13:11.161 --> 00:13:12.529
Even when he died, when he took his last breath.
00:13:12.596 --> 00:13:15.131
When he took his last breath. you know, when a person comes
00:13:15.198 --> 00:13:16.466
You know, when a person comes into the world they inhale.
00:13:16.533 --> 00:13:18.268
[inhale]
00:13:18.902 --> 00:13:20.804
They slap that little --
00:13:21.238 --> 00:13:22.105
They slap that little -- they used to, they don't
00:13:22.172 --> 00:13:22.806
They used to, they don't do that anymore.
00:13:22.873 --> 00:13:23.573
Do that anymore. but they slapped
00:13:23.640 --> 00:13:24.341
But they slapped that little baby
00:13:24.407 --> 00:13:24.975
That little baby on the behind
00:13:25.041 --> 00:13:26.376
On the behind and it screams and it...
00:13:26.443 --> 00:13:28.078
[inhales]
00:13:28.478 --> 00:13:30.847
And then, when you die,
00:13:31.448 --> 00:13:33.984
And then, when you die, you exhale.
00:13:34.050 --> 00:13:34.718
[exhale]
00:13:34.951 --> 00:13:35.218
That's how you know some --
00:13:35.619 --> 00:13:36.553
That's how you know some -- i've been with people
00:13:36.620 --> 00:13:37.287
I've been with people when they die.
00:13:37.354 --> 00:13:41.892
When they die. and even the rabbis teach,
00:13:41.958 --> 00:13:44.928
And even the rabbis teach, even breath has
00:13:44.995 --> 00:13:46.830
Even breath has the name of god in it.
00:13:46.897 --> 00:13:48.832
The name of god in it. yah...weh.
00:13:48.899 --> 00:13:53.003
Yah...weh. yah...weh.
00:13:53.069 --> 00:13:57.908
Yah...weh. job took his last breath,
00:13:57.974 --> 00:14:00.477
Job took his last breath, and that little book
00:14:00.543 --> 00:14:02.045
And that little book of his story began
00:14:02.112 --> 00:14:03.046
Of his story began to cover the globe
00:14:03.113 --> 00:14:04.648
To cover the globe through the millenniums.
00:14:04.714 --> 00:14:05.282
Through the millenniums. how many people
00:14:05.348 --> 00:14:06.583
How many people has he helped?
00:14:06.650 --> 00:14:07.918
Has he helped? how many times
00:14:07.984 --> 00:14:08.885
How many times has he been quoted?
00:14:08.952 --> 00:14:10.186
Has he been quoted? how many times has he been
00:14:10.253 --> 00:14:11.922
How many times has he been used in messages like
00:14:11.988 --> 00:14:13.790
Used in messages like i'm doing right now?
00:14:13.857 --> 00:14:16.426
I'm doing right now? the point is,
00:14:16.493 --> 00:14:17.761
The point is, he had no idea how far
00:14:17.827 --> 00:14:21.031
He had no idea how far of a shadow his experience,
00:14:21.097 --> 00:14:23.066
Of a shadow his experience, his pain, his wounds, his grief,
00:14:23.133 --> 00:14:27.170
His pain, his wounds, his grief, his sorrow, his darkness,
00:14:27.237 --> 00:14:29.472
His sorrow, his darkness, he had no idea how far that
00:14:29.539 --> 00:14:32.342
He had no idea how far that shadow would be cast even
00:14:32.409 --> 00:14:34.377
Shadow would be cast even through the millenniums.
00:14:34.444 --> 00:14:35.679
Through the millenniums. and here we stand 4,000 years
00:14:35.745 --> 00:14:39.049
And here we stand 4,000 years later still proclaiming
00:14:39.115 --> 00:14:41.051
Later still proclaiming the faithfulness of god
00:14:41.117 --> 00:14:42.752
The faithfulness of god in the midst of life's
00:14:42.819 --> 00:14:44.688
In the midst of life's most serve trials.

The battleground of shiloh. we're talking about
00:15:45.181 --> 00:15:46.249
We're talking about hellish warfare.
00:15:46.316 --> 00:15:48.618
Hellish warfare. we're talking about,
00:15:48.685 --> 00:15:50.286
We're talking about, they did not have
00:15:50.353 --> 00:15:51.321
They did not have modern medicine,
00:15:51.388 --> 00:15:52.288
Modern medicine, they would cut off
00:15:52.355 --> 00:15:53.857
They would cut off and amputate --
00:15:53.923 --> 00:15:55.358
And amputate -- people were dismembered,
00:15:55.425 --> 00:15:57.427
People were dismembered, and people were laying
00:15:57.494 --> 00:15:58.728
And people were laying all over that field,
00:15:58.795 --> 00:16:01.865
All over that field, and they were dying,
00:16:01.931 --> 00:16:02.932
And they were dying, and they were hoping
00:16:02.999 --> 00:16:04.834
And they were hoping someone would find them.
00:16:04.901 --> 00:16:06.636
Someone would find them. someone, if they were alive,
00:16:06.703 --> 00:16:08.104
Someone, if they were alive, would find them among

Would find them among the thousands and thousands
00:16:09.839 --> 00:16:11.908
The thousands and thousands that were dead all around them.
00:16:11.975 --> 00:16:15.979

It's what history records as the angel glow.
00:16:21.718 --> 00:16:26.056
That when they
00:16:26.156 --> 00:16:26.723
Looked out on the field,
00:16:26.790 --> 00:16:29.059
There were certain soldiers
00:16:29.125 --> 00:16:31.828
Who looked down
00:16:31.895 --> 00:16:32.695
On their wounds,
00:16:32.762 --> 00:16:33.630
And their wounds began
00:16:33.696 --> 00:16:35.165
To glow mysteriously.
00:16:35.231 --> 00:16:37.600
There were little puddles
00:16:37.700 --> 00:16:38.568
There were little puddles of mud because it had rained,
00:16:38.635 --> 00:16:40.236
Of mud because it had rained, and it was raining that
00:16:40.303 --> 00:16:42.172
And it was raining that night terribly.
00:16:42.238 --> 00:16:43.873
Night terribly. and there were puddles
00:16:43.940 --> 00:16:45.241
And there were puddles that were bluish-green,
00:16:45.308 --> 00:16:47.410
That were bluish-green, a bluish-green color,
00:16:47.477 --> 00:16:49.345
A bluish-green color, that showed up
00:16:49.412 --> 00:16:52.549
That showed up and that actually
00:16:52.615 --> 00:16:53.917
And that actually would get on the wounds.
00:16:53.983 --> 00:16:56.152
Would get on the wounds. and what it was is amazing.
00:16:56.219 --> 00:16:58.955
And what it was is amazing. bacteria that can make
00:16:59.022 --> 00:17:00.457
Bacteria that can make insects sick,
00:17:00.523 --> 00:17:03.426
Insects sick, had been responsible --
00:17:03.493 --> 00:17:05.328
Had been responsible -- they didn't know this
00:17:05.395 --> 00:17:06.062
They didn't know this for 140 years until 2001
00:17:06.129 --> 00:17:10.033
For 140 years until 2001 when a high school senior
00:17:10.100 --> 00:17:12.402
When a high school senior heard this story,
00:17:12.469 --> 00:17:13.470
Heard this story, his mother was a biologist
00:17:13.536 --> 00:17:15.505
His mother was a biologist and they began to research it
00:17:15.572 --> 00:17:17.373
And they began to research it and they made a phenomenal,
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:19.142
And they made a phenomenal, historic discovery.
00:17:19.209 --> 00:17:20.710
Historic discovery. and here it is,
00:17:20.777 --> 00:17:22.479
And here it is, "the healing
00:17:22.545 --> 00:17:23.146
"the healing of civil war soldiers'
00:17:23.213 --> 00:17:24.447
Of civil war soldiers' wounds that glowed
00:17:24.514 --> 00:17:25.315
Wounds that glowed in the dark intrigued them,
00:17:25.381 --> 00:17:28.451
In the dark intrigued them, and bill martin and his friend,
00:17:28.518 --> 00:17:29.953
And bill martin and his friend, jonathan curtis, seniors
00:17:30.019 --> 00:17:31.488
Jonathan curtis, seniors at bowie high school
00:17:31.554 --> 00:17:34.824
At bowie high school went on a journey to find out
00:17:34.891 --> 00:17:37.694
Went on a journey to find out what this was about
00:17:37.760 --> 00:17:38.828
What this was about and their mother,
00:17:38.895 --> 00:17:39.796
And their mother, phyllis martin
00:17:39.863 --> 00:17:40.697
Phyllis martin was a microbiologist."
00:17:40.763 --> 00:17:43.066
Was a microbiologist." this is --
00:17:43.133 --> 00:17:43.800
This is -- i'm gonna cut it down
00:17:43.867 --> 00:17:44.534
I'm gonna cut it down to what it was about,
00:17:44.601 --> 00:17:45.401
To what it was about, "they wanted to know about
00:17:45.468 --> 00:17:47.203
"they wanted to know about the glow in the dark wounds."
00:17:47.270 --> 00:17:50.573
The glow in the dark wounds." the glow in the dark wounds.
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:52.008
The glow in the dark wounds. why were certain people having
00:17:52.075 --> 00:17:55.411
Why were certain people having glow in the dark wounds?
00:17:55.478 --> 00:17:57.647
Glow in the dark wounds? and it would light up
00:17:57.714 --> 00:17:58.681
And it would light up in the dark, as they have
00:17:58.748 --> 00:17:59.983
In the dark, as they have no light in that field,
00:18:00.049 --> 00:18:01.384
No light in that field, and yet, they would
00:18:01.451 --> 00:18:02.018
And yet, they would light up.
00:18:02.085 --> 00:18:02.619
Light up. why?
00:18:02.685 --> 00:18:03.720
Why? they couldn't figure it out.
00:18:03.786 --> 00:18:05.788
They couldn't figure it out. but it was a mystery.
00:18:05.855 --> 00:18:06.823
But it was a mystery. the battle of shiloh
00:18:06.890 --> 00:18:08.358
The battle of shiloh took on a mysterious --
00:18:08.424 --> 00:18:11.161
Took on a mysterious -- if you were a veteran
00:18:11.227 --> 00:18:12.996
If you were a veteran of the battle of shiloh,
00:18:13.062 --> 00:18:14.230
Of the battle of shiloh, people would stop
00:18:14.297 --> 00:18:15.565
People would stop in their tracks because
00:18:15.632 --> 00:18:16.866
In their tracks because it was so horrific.
00:18:16.933 --> 00:18:18.201
It was so horrific. it was such a hand-to-hand
00:18:18.268 --> 00:18:20.069
It was such a hand-to-hand combat and the injuries
00:18:20.136 --> 00:18:21.638
Combat and the injuries were so severe.
00:18:21.704 --> 00:18:22.605
Were so severe. and then, the story of what
00:18:22.672 --> 00:18:24.741
And then, the story of what they would call and dub,
00:18:24.807 --> 00:18:27.477
They would call and dub, "the angel glow,"
00:18:27.544 --> 00:18:30.113
"the angel glow," that would come on
00:18:30.180 --> 00:18:30.847
That would come on the wounded.
00:18:30.914 --> 00:18:32.749
The wounded. they called it

What was taking place, but the wounds glowed.
00:18:37.120 --> 00:18:39.122
But the wounds glowed. "the students described
00:18:39.189 --> 00:18:40.757
"the students described how the presence

How the presence of luminescent bacterium
00:18:42.225 --> 00:18:46.629
Of luminescent bacterium was aiding the healing

Was aiding the healing of those men.
00:18:48.164 --> 00:18:50.366
Of those men. it inhabited the growth

It inhabited the growth of other bacteria,
00:18:52.035 --> 00:18:53.670
Of other bacteria, and it came from worms,"
00:18:53.736 --> 00:18:56.272
And it came from worms," and i don't mean
00:18:56.339 --> 00:18:56.973
And i don't mean to make you sick,
00:18:57.040 --> 00:18:57.707
To make you sick, but this is important.

"there were worms that came up in the mud and the rain,
00:19:01.611 --> 00:19:04.214
In the mud and the rain, and they would regurgitate
00:19:04.280 --> 00:19:07.083
And they would regurgitate something in their stomach
00:19:07.150 --> 00:19:09.686
Something in their stomach that would get in the wounds,"
00:19:09.752 --> 00:19:12.322
That would get in the wounds," and i'm making this
00:19:12.388 --> 00:19:12.855
And i'm making this really simple.
00:19:12.922 --> 00:19:13.489
Really simple. you should study it
00:19:13.556 --> 00:19:14.424
You should study it for yourself.
00:19:14.490 --> 00:19:15.558
For yourself. it's amazing.
00:19:15.625 --> 00:19:17.060
It's amazing. "and it would get in the wounds,
00:19:17.126 --> 00:19:19.596
"and it would get in the wounds, and it actually would begin
00:19:19.662 --> 00:19:21.130
And it actually would begin to attack infection."
00:19:21.197 --> 00:19:23.900
To attack infection." that's why it was on the wounds.
00:19:23.967 --> 00:19:26.069
That's why it was on the wounds. it took those worms crawling
00:19:26.135 --> 00:19:29.205
It took those worms crawling in and regurgitating what
00:19:29.272 --> 00:19:33.209
In and regurgitating what was in them that began
00:19:33.276 --> 00:19:35.078
Was in them that began to become an antibiotic,
00:19:35.144 --> 00:19:38.681
To become an antibiotic, this is all proven,
00:19:38.748 --> 00:19:40.950
This is all proven, it became an antibiotic
00:19:41.017 --> 00:19:42.885
It became an antibiotic and they found out
00:19:42.952 --> 00:19:44.120
And they found out that there were,
00:19:44.187 --> 00:19:45.388
That there were, that there were
00:19:45.455 --> 00:19:46.389
That there were the non-glowing men,

The non-glowing men, their counterparts
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:51.227
Their counterparts were dying and could not

Be helped. the glowing men
00:19:54.464 --> 00:19:56.266
The glowing men had a lower rate

Had a lower rate of infection and their
00:19:57.166 --> 00:19:58.801
Of infection and their injuries healed faster.
00:19:58.868 --> 00:20:01.037
Injuries healed faster. on that night, in the middle
00:20:01.104 --> 00:20:03.506
On that night, in the middle of the muddy field
00:20:03.573 --> 00:20:04.707
Of the muddy field waiting for rescue,
00:20:04.774 --> 00:20:06.042
Waiting for rescue, some of the men noticed
00:20:06.109 --> 00:20:07.143
Some of the men noticed their open wounds begin to glow
00:20:07.210 --> 00:20:09.612
Their open wounds begin to glow a greenish-bluish color,
00:20:09.679 --> 00:20:11.347
A greenish-bluish color, no explanation.
00:20:11.414 --> 00:20:12.882
No explanation. the doctors soon discovered
00:20:12.949 --> 00:20:15.118
The doctors soon discovered that most of those men
00:20:15.184 --> 00:20:16.786
That most of those men would survive
00:20:16.853 --> 00:20:18.688
Would survive because of the glow."
00:20:18.755 --> 00:20:22.358
Because of the glow." the wounds that glowed.
00:20:22.425 --> 00:20:26.663
The wounds that glowed. "moreover, their injuries
00:20:26.729 --> 00:20:28.064

Appeared to heal faster than the non-glowing counterparts."

Had been wounded, if they heard him
00:20:57.994 --> 00:20:59.362
If they heard him regurgitate his story,
00:20:59.429 --> 00:21:02.131
Regurgitate his story, it would get
