Everything that he's got, only don't touch his body."

He lost it all. and right on the heels

Servant saying, "job, your beautiful family,

When you bless 'em. but you take what they've got,

You let 'em go through suffering,
00:06:24.061 --> 00:06:24.628
Through suffering, you let 'em go
00:06:24.695 --> 00:06:25.262
You let 'em go through hard times,
00:06:25.329 --> 00:06:26.263
Through hard times, they'll walk on you.
00:06:26.330 --> 00:06:27.765
They'll walk on you. they'll curse you to your face."
00:06:27.832 --> 00:06:29.066
They'll curse you to your face." and in that moment, job broken,
00:06:29.133 --> 00:06:31.235
And in that moment, job broken, devastated, tears his garment,
00:06:31.302 --> 00:06:33.771
Devastated, tears his garment, falls to the ground weeping,
00:06:33.838 --> 00:06:37.041
Falls to the ground weeping, and he says these
00:06:37.107 --> 00:06:37.775
And he says these powerful words,
00:06:37.842 --> 00:06:39.343
Powerful words, "the lord gives,
00:06:39.410 --> 00:06:40.878
"the lord gives, the lord takes away.
00:06:40.945 --> 00:06:42.780
The lord takes away. blessed be the name
00:06:42.847 --> 00:06:43.981
Blessed be the name of the lord."
00:06:44.048 --> 00:06:45.416
Of the lord." and in that moment,
00:06:45.483 --> 00:06:46.350
And in that moment, i could see just the scene
00:06:46.417 --> 00:06:48.786
I could see just the scene break and lucifer says,
00:06:48.853 --> 00:06:51.055
Break and lucifer says, "you let me do one more thing.
00:06:51.121 --> 00:06:53.257
"you let me do one more thing. you let me attack his body
00:06:53.324 --> 00:06:55.192
You let me attack his body and he'll curse you.
00:06:55.259 --> 00:06:56.994
And he'll curse you. he'll curse you to your face."
00:06:57.061 --> 00:06:58.128
He'll curse you to your face." and god said, "go ahead."
00:06:58.195 --> 00:06:59.363
And god said, "go ahead." job is not aware of this.
00:06:59.430 --> 00:07:02.366
Job is not aware of this. job does not know
00:07:02.433 --> 00:07:03.968
Job does not know what's going on.
00:07:04.034 --> 00:07:05.002
What's going on. god gives no
00:07:05.069 --> 00:07:05.970
God gives no explanation to him.
00:07:06.036 --> 00:07:08.539
Explanation to him. and after a day like that
00:07:08.606 --> 00:07:10.107
And after a day like that you would think that
00:07:10.174 --> 00:07:11.175
You would think that would be enough for anybody,
00:07:11.242 --> 00:07:12.409
Would be enough for anybody, but the next day boils
00:07:12.476 --> 00:07:13.944
But the next day boils break out on job
00:07:14.011 --> 00:07:15.312
Break out on job from the top of his head
00:07:15.379 --> 00:07:16.514
From the top of his head to the soles of his feet,
00:07:16.580 --> 00:07:18.249
To the soles of his feet, the scripture said.
00:07:18.315 --> 00:07:19.683
The scripture said. agonizing, tormenting
00:07:19.750 --> 00:07:22.152
Agonizing, tormenting infection all in his body.
00:07:22.219 --> 00:07:25.322
Infection all in his body. and his wife who is grieving
00:07:25.389 --> 00:07:29.326
And his wife who is grieving for ten children being dead
00:07:29.393 --> 00:07:32.830
For ten children being dead the day before says,
00:07:32.897 --> 00:07:34.899
The day before says, "job, just curse god and die.
00:07:34.965 --> 00:07:37.635
"job, just curse god and die. we're finished.
00:07:37.701 --> 00:07:38.536
We're finished. we've lost everything."
00:07:38.602 --> 00:07:41.539
We've lost everything." and then, his friends,
00:07:41.605 --> 00:07:42.806
And then, his friends, job's friends come and --
00:07:42.873 --> 00:07:44.875
Job's friends come and -- you can read it
00:07:44.942 --> 00:07:45.876
You can read it for 30 chapters,
00:07:45.943 --> 00:07:47.945
For 30 chapters, they do nothing
00:07:48.012 --> 00:07:48.913
They do nothing in his dark hour
00:07:48.979 --> 00:07:51.015
In his dark hour but accuse him and tell him
00:07:51.081 --> 00:07:52.449
But accuse him and tell him it's the judgment of god.
00:07:52.516 --> 00:07:54.351
It's the judgment of god. and you've done secret sin
00:07:54.418 --> 00:07:55.686
And you've done secret sin and you're getting
00:07:55.753 --> 00:07:56.587
And you're getting what you deserve,
00:07:56.654 --> 00:07:57.388
What you deserve, and this is god
00:07:57.454 --> 00:07:58.389
And this is god getting back at you,
00:07:58.455 --> 00:07:59.290
Getting back at you, and you're not righteous,
00:07:59.356 --> 00:08:00.858
And you're not righteous, and you don't --
00:08:00.925 --> 00:08:01.659
And you don't -- you're a hypocrite.
00:08:01.725 --> 00:08:02.793
You're a hypocrite. they called him name
00:08:02.860 --> 00:08:04.461
They called him name after name in humiliation
00:08:04.528 --> 00:08:07.064
After name in humiliation for 30 chapters.
00:08:07.131 --> 00:08:10.067
It's really something.
00:08:13.704 --> 00:08:18.509
It's really something. and in that moment,
00:08:18.576 --> 00:08:20.377
And in that moment, when he refused to bow,
00:08:20.444 --> 00:08:22.846
When he refused to bow, "though he slay me,
00:08:22.913 --> 00:08:24.448
"though he slay me, yet will i trust him."
00:08:24.515 --> 00:08:26.517
Yet will i trust him." it was in that moment
00:08:26.584 --> 00:08:28.519
It was in that moment that he won the victory,
00:08:28.586 --> 00:08:29.820
That he won the victory, and the bible said
00:08:29.887 --> 00:08:30.955
And the bible said he prayed for his friends.
00:08:31.021 --> 00:08:32.890
He prayed for his friends. he did not die in a "why?"
00:08:32.957 --> 00:08:37.428
He did not die in a "why?" he released forgiveness
00:08:37.494 --> 00:08:38.996
He released forgiveness and moved into a divine purpose.
00:08:39.063 --> 00:08:43.334
And moved into a divine purpose. you can die in your why.
00:08:43.400 --> 00:08:46.236
You can die in your why. god may never answer your why,
00:08:46.303 --> 00:08:48.272
God may never answer your why, but i tell you this,
00:08:48.339 --> 00:08:49.940
But i tell you this, if you will release forgiveness
00:08:50.007 --> 00:08:53.010
If you will release forgiveness you will move into
00:08:53.077 --> 00:08:54.078
You will move into the purpose of the pain
00:08:54.144 --> 00:08:55.679
The purpose of the pain that you have gone through.
00:08:55.746 --> 00:08:58.148
That you have gone through. jesus was on the cross
00:08:58.215 --> 00:08:59.316
Jesus was on the cross and he asked,
00:08:59.383 --> 00:09:00.217
And he asked, "why have you forsaken me?"
00:09:00.284 --> 00:09:03.053
"why have you forsaken me?" there are times
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:04.154
There are times when we cry, "why?"
00:09:04.221 --> 00:09:06.090
When we cry, "why?" and it's not wrong to say why,
00:09:06.156 --> 00:09:09.026
And it's not wrong to say why, but don't die in your why.
00:09:09.093 --> 00:09:11.996
But don't die in your why. jesus on that same cross,
00:09:12.062 --> 00:09:13.797
Jesus on that same cross, when he did not get
00:09:13.864 --> 00:09:14.798
When he did not get an answer from the father,
00:09:14.865 --> 00:09:16.634
An answer from the father, he said, "why have you
00:09:16.700 --> 00:09:17.801
He said, "why have you forsaken me?"
00:09:17.868 --> 00:09:18.869
Forsaken me?" he then immediately
00:09:18.936 --> 00:09:20.337
He then immediately in the next verse said,
00:09:20.404 --> 00:09:21.605
In the next verse said, "father, forgive them,
00:09:21.672 --> 00:09:23.774
"father, forgive them, they know --
00:09:23.841 --> 00:09:24.208
They know -- and when he moved
00:09:24.274 --> 00:09:25.542
And when he moved into forgiveness,
00:09:25.609 --> 00:09:26.810
Into forgiveness, he moved from a why
00:09:26.877 --> 00:09:28.912
He moved from a why to eternal purpose.
00:09:28.979 --> 00:09:34.184
To eternal purpose. and so, job speaks
00:09:34.251 --> 00:09:36.320
And so, job speaks and his story --
00:09:36.387 --> 00:09:36.987
And his story -- i mean, think with me,
00:09:37.054 --> 00:09:38.689
I mean, think with me, how many people,
00:09:38.756 --> 00:09:40.257
How many people, how much comfort
00:09:40.324 --> 00:09:42.159
How much comfort has one human being --
00:09:42.226 --> 00:09:43.427
Has one human being -- it's the oldest book
00:09:43.494 --> 00:09:44.528
It's the oldest book in the bible.
00:09:44.595 --> 00:09:45.696
In the bible. they tell us that
00:09:45.763 --> 00:09:47.131
They tell us that he wrote it not personally,
00:09:47.197 --> 00:09:52.269
He wrote it not personally, but probably and almost
00:09:52.336 --> 00:09:53.704
But probably and almost certainly used a translator
00:09:53.771 --> 00:09:56.340
Certainly used a translator and a transcriber.
00:09:56.407 --> 00:09:58.042
And a transcriber. and he told his story
00:09:58.108 --> 00:10:00.277
And he told his story and someone, unnamed,
00:10:00.344 --> 00:10:02.012
And someone, unnamed, wrote it and it became
00:10:02.079 --> 00:10:03.681
Wrote it and it became the oldest book of the bible.
00:10:03.747 --> 00:10:05.916
The oldest book of the bible. and in that parchment
00:10:05.983 --> 00:10:09.119
And in that parchment that would become a message
00:10:09.186 --> 00:10:11.288
That would become a message all over the world --
00:10:11.355 --> 00:10:12.589
All over the world -- do you know that the bible said
00:10:12.656 --> 00:10:13.891
Do you know that the bible said in the book of job 42 that,
00:10:13.957 --> 00:10:17.094
In the book of job 42 that, he lived a 140 years
00:10:17.161 --> 00:10:18.996
He lived a 140 years after his trial?
00:10:19.063 --> 00:10:20.964
After his trial? and what's interesting
00:10:21.031 --> 00:10:22.099
And what's interesting about his story is,
00:10:22.166 --> 00:10:23.300
About his story is, he did not write that book
00:10:23.367 --> 00:10:24.501
He did not write that book or didn't have that book written
00:10:24.568 --> 00:10:27.204
Or didn't have that book written and tell his whole story in
00:10:27.271 --> 00:10:29.306
And tell his whole story in the middle of his trial.
00:10:29.373 --> 00:10:31.241
The middle of his trial. he waited three years
00:10:31.308 --> 00:10:32.409
He waited three years before he wrote the book,
00:10:32.476 --> 00:10:35.379
Before he wrote the book, and he had someone
00:10:35.446 --> 00:10:36.547
And he had someone write it for him.
00:10:36.613 --> 00:10:37.448
Write it for him. he told his story.
00:10:37.514 --> 00:10:38.849
He told his story. don't write your story
00:10:38.916 --> 00:10:41.418
Don't write your story in the middle of your story.
00:10:41.485 --> 00:10:43.954
In the middle of your story. don't think because
00:10:44.021 --> 00:10:45.322
Don't think because you're hurting right now
00:10:45.389 --> 00:10:47.691
You're hurting right now and you don't
00:10:47.758 --> 00:10:48.158
And you don't understand right now,
00:10:48.225 --> 00:10:49.493
Understand right now, and it makes no sense,
00:10:49.560 --> 00:10:51.495
And it makes no sense, and you feel god-forsaken.
00:10:51.562 --> 00:10:52.796
And you feel god-forsaken. job was right where you are
00:10:52.863 --> 00:10:55.499
Job was right where you are right now and you're asking why,
00:10:55.566 --> 00:10:58.469
Right now and you're asking why, and the pain is real
00:10:58.535 --> 00:10:59.970
And the pain is real and you are numb from it,
00:11:00.037 --> 00:11:01.972
And you are numb from it, and you are broken from it.
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:04.541
And you are broken from it. but don't write
00:11:04.608 --> 00:11:05.609
But don't write your story until you get
00:11:05.676 --> 00:11:07.311
Your story until you get to the end of the story.
00:11:07.377 --> 00:11:09.113
To the end of the story. and if you're in
00:11:09.179 --> 00:11:10.147
And if you're in the middle of it,
00:11:10.214 --> 00:11:11.281
The middle of it, it looks dark,
00:11:11.348 --> 00:11:12.616
It looks dark, but job got to looking
00:11:12.683 --> 00:11:14.051
But job got to looking back three years later
00:11:14.118 --> 00:11:15.786
Back three years later and he said,
00:11:15.853 --> 00:11:16.653
And he said, "i'm gonna
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:16.920
"i'm gonna tell my story now,
00:11:16.987 --> 00:11:18.822
Tell my story now, because i can truly say --"
00:11:18.889 --> 00:11:20.758
Because i can truly say --" and the bible said,
00:11:20.824 --> 00:11:21.792
And the bible said, "the lord blessed job double."
00:11:21.859 --> 00:11:25.529
"the lord blessed job double." he went to 14,00 sheep,
00:11:25.596 --> 00:11:27.931
He went to 14,00 sheep, and he went to 6,000 camels,
00:11:27.998 --> 00:11:31.268
And he went to 6,000 camels, and he went to 1,000 oxen,
00:11:31.335 --> 00:11:33.203
And he went to 1,000 oxen, and 1,000 ox, and 1,000 donkeys.
00:11:33.270 --> 00:11:38.142
And 1,000 ox, and 1,000 donkeys. and he went to seven more sons,
00:11:38.208 --> 00:11:41.445
And he went to seven more sons, and three daughters that were
00:11:41.512 --> 00:11:43.814
And three daughters that were the most beautiful in the land,"
00:11:43.881 --> 00:11:45.482
The most beautiful in the land," the scripture said.
00:11:45.549 --> 00:11:46.817
The scripture said. because he had seven
00:11:46.884 --> 00:11:47.885
Because he had seven in heaven and he --
00:11:47.951 --> 00:11:49.620
In heaven and he -- sons and three daughters
00:11:49.686 --> 00:11:50.888
Sons and three daughters in heaven, so god doubled
00:11:50.954 --> 00:11:52.756
In heaven, so god doubled that by giving him seven
00:11:52.823 --> 00:11:54.391
That by giving him seven on earth and three.
00:11:54.458 --> 00:11:58.462
On earth and three. my point is simply this,
00:11:58.529 --> 00:12:00.998
My point is simply this, how many people have been
00:12:01.064 --> 00:12:02.933
How many people have been helped by job's story?
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:06.136
Helped by job's story? how many times did people
00:12:06.203 --> 00:12:07.671
How many times did people come to him who were broken?
00:12:07.738 --> 00:12:09.473
Come to him who were broken? how many times did people
00:12:09.540 --> 00:12:11.041
How many times did people come to him who had
00:12:11.108 --> 00:12:11.942
Come to him who had lost a family member?
00:12:12.009 --> 00:12:14.478
Lost a family member? who had lost a son,
00:12:14.545 --> 00:12:15.345
Who had lost a son, or a daughter and he would
00:12:15.412 --> 00:12:17.047
Or a daughter and he would tell his story, tell his story
00:12:17.114 --> 00:12:19.683
Tell his story, tell his story for 140 years.
00:12:19.750 --> 00:12:21.485
For 140 years. how many broken families?
00:12:21.552 --> 00:12:23.086
How many broken families? how many people
00:12:23.153 --> 00:12:23.887
How many people who were diagnosed with
00:12:23.954 --> 00:12:24.988
Who were diagnosed with a horrible disease
00:12:25.055 --> 00:12:26.190
A horrible disease and they felt like they were
00:12:26.256 --> 00:12:27.524
And they felt like they were at the end of the world,
00:12:27.591 --> 00:12:28.859
At the end of the world, and they were given
00:12:28.926 --> 00:12:29.526
And they were given a death sentence?
00:12:29.593 --> 00:12:30.727
A death sentence? and they would come
00:12:30.794 --> 00:12:31.495
And they would come and sit at his feet,
00:12:31.562 --> 00:12:32.729
And sit at his feet, and he would tell his story,
00:12:32.796 --> 00:12:34.097
And he would tell his story, and put his arms around them.
00:12:34.164 --> 00:12:35.566
And put his arms around them. and he comforted them
00:12:35.632 --> 00:12:37.434
And he comforted them with the same comfort
00:12:37.501 --> 00:12:39.336
With the same comfort god had given him.
00:12:39.403 --> 00:12:41.271
God had given him. how long?
00:12:41.338 --> 00:12:42.039
How long? i mean, did he ever
00:12:42.105 --> 00:12:43.841
I mean, did he ever suffer again?
00:12:43.907 --> 00:12:45.576
Suffer again? did he ever get a pimple
00:12:45.642 --> 00:12:47.377
Did he ever get a pimple or that looked like a boil?
00:12:47.444 --> 00:12:49.646
Or that looked like a boil? and did he freak out?
00:12:49.713 --> 00:12:51.448
And did he freak out? did he have great trepidation,
00:12:51.515 --> 00:12:53.217
Did he have great trepidation, "oh, my god, it's coming back"?
00:12:53.283 --> 00:12:55.485
"oh, my god, it's coming back"? did he ever see one of his
00:12:55.552 --> 00:12:58.922
Did he ever see one of his own children die again?
00:12:58.989 --> 00:13:00.757
Own children die again? did he ever go to the funeral
00:13:00.824 --> 00:13:02.492
Did he ever go to the funeral of one of his grandchildren?
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:05.062
Of one of his grandchildren? did he ever --
00:13:05.128 --> 00:13:06.129
Did he ever -- we think about this
00:13:06.196 --> 00:13:08.065
We think about this 140 years.
00:13:08.131 --> 00:13:09.967
140 years. think beyond
00:13:10.033 --> 00:13:11.101
Think beyond even when he died,
00:13:11.168 --> 00:13:12.536
Even when he died, when he took his last breath.
00:13:12.603 --> 00:13:15.138
When he took his last breath. you know, when a person comes
00:13:15.205 --> 00:13:16.473
You know, when a person comes into the world they inhale.
00:13:16.540 --> 00:13:18.275
[inhale]
00:13:18.909 --> 00:13:20.811
They slap that little --
00:13:21.245 --> 00:13:22.112
They slap that little -- they used to, they don't
00:13:22.179 --> 00:13:22.813
They used to, they don't do that anymore.
00:13:22.880 --> 00:13:23.580
Do that anymore. but they slapped
00:13:23.647 --> 00:13:24.348
But they slapped that little baby
00:13:24.414 --> 00:13:24.982
That little baby on the behind
00:13:25.048 --> 00:13:26.383
On the behind and it screams and it...
00:13:26.450 --> 00:13:28.085
[inhales]
00:13:28.485 --> 00:13:30.854
And then, when you die,
00:13:31.455 --> 00:13:33.991
And then, when you die, you exhale.
00:13:34.057 --> 00:13:34.725
[exhale]
00:13:34.958 --> 00:13:35.225
That's how you know some --
00:13:35.626 --> 00:13:36.560
That's how you know some -- i've been with people
00:13:36.627 --> 00:13:37.294
I've been with people when they die.
00:13:37.361 --> 00:13:41.899
When they die. and even the rabbis teach,
00:13:41.965 --> 00:13:44.935
And even the rabbis teach, even breath has
00:13:45.002 --> 00:13:46.837
Even breath has the name of god in it.
00:13:46.904 --> 00:13:48.839
The name of god in it. yah...weh.
00:13:48.906 --> 00:13:53.010
Yah...weh. yah...weh.
00:13:53.076 --> 00:13:57.915
Yah...weh. job took his last breath,
00:13:57.981 --> 00:14:00.484
Job took his last breath, and that little book
00:14:00.550 --> 00:14:02.052
And that little book of his story began
00:14:02.119 --> 00:14:03.053
Of his story began to cover the globe
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:04.655
To cover the globe through the millenniums.
00:14:04.721 --> 00:14:05.289
Through the millenniums. how many people
00:14:05.355 --> 00:14:06.590
How many people has he helped?
00:14:06.657 --> 00:14:07.925
Has he helped? how many times
00:14:07.991 --> 00:14:08.892
How many times has he been quoted?
00:14:08.959 --> 00:14:10.193
Has he been quoted? how many times has he been
00:14:10.260 --> 00:14:11.929
How many times has he been used in messages like
00:14:11.995 --> 00:14:13.797
Used in messages like i'm doing right now?
00:14:13.864 --> 00:14:16.433
I'm doing right now? the point is,
00:14:16.500 --> 00:14:17.768
The point is, he had no idea how far
00:14:17.834 --> 00:14:21.038
He had no idea how far of a shadow his experience,
00:14:21.104 --> 00:14:23.073
Of a shadow his experience, his pain, his wounds, his grief,
00:14:23.140 --> 00:14:27.177
His pain, his wounds, his grief, his sorrow, his darkness,
00:14:27.244 --> 00:14:29.479
His sorrow, his darkness, he had no idea how far that
00:14:29.546 --> 00:14:32.349
He had no idea how far that shadow would be cast even
00:14:32.416 --> 00:14:34.384
Shadow would be cast even through the millenniums.
00:14:34.451 --> 00:14:35.686
Through the millenniums. and here we stand 4,000 years
00:14:35.752 --> 00:14:39.056
And here we stand 4,000 years later still proclaiming
00:14:39.122 --> 00:14:41.058
Later still proclaiming the faithfulness of god
00:14:41.124 --> 00:14:42.759
The faithfulness of god in the midst of life's
00:14:42.826 --> 00:14:44.695
In the midst of life's most serve trials.
00:14:44.761 --> 00:14:49.066
Most serve trials. i wanna tell you about

"why are you talking about wounds that glow in the dark?"
00:14:53.804 --> 00:14:57.341
Wounds that glow in the dark?" because in tennessee,
00:14:57.407 --> 00:14:59.009
Because in tennessee, the state of tennessee in 1862
00:14:59.076 --> 00:15:02.145

Across the field of shiloh, the battleground of shiloh.
00:15:42.853 --> 00:15:45.122
The battleground of shiloh. we're talking about
00:15:45.188 --> 00:15:46.256
We're talking about hellish warfare.
00:15:46.323 --> 00:15:48.625
Hellish warfare. we're talking about,
00:15:48.692 --> 00:15:50.293
We're talking about, they did not have
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:51.328
They did not have modern medicine,
00:15:51.395 --> 00:15:52.295
Modern medicine, they would cut off
00:15:52.362 --> 00:15:53.864
They would cut off and amputate --
00:15:53.930 --> 00:15:55.365
And amputate -- people were dismembered,
00:15:55.432 --> 00:15:57.434
People were dismembered, and people were laying
00:15:57.501 --> 00:15:58.735
And people were laying all over that field,
00:15:58.802 --> 00:16:01.872
All over that field, and they were dying,
00:16:01.938 --> 00:16:02.939
And they were dying, and they were hoping
00:16:03.006 --> 00:16:04.841
And they were hoping someone would find them.
00:16:04.908 --> 00:16:06.643
Someone would find them. someone, if they were alive,
00:16:06.710 --> 00:16:08.111
Someone, if they were alive, would find them among
00:16:08.178 --> 00:16:09.780
Would find them among the thousands and thousands
00:16:09.846 --> 00:16:11.915
The thousands and thousands that were dead all around them.
00:16:11.982 --> 00:16:15.986
That were dead all around them. it was called

It was called the battle of shiloh.
00:16:16.553 --> 00:16:19.256
The battle of shiloh. it's what history records
00:16:19.322 --> 00:16:21.658
It's what history records as the angel glow.
00:16:21.725 --> 00:16:26.063
That when they
00:16:26.163 --> 00:16:26.730
Looked out on the field,
00:16:26.797 --> 00:16:29.066
There were certain soldiers
00:16:29.132 --> 00:16:31.835
Who looked down
00:16:31.902 --> 00:16:32.702
On their wounds,
00:16:32.769 --> 00:16:33.637
And their wounds began
00:16:33.703 --> 00:16:35.172
To glow mysteriously.
00:16:35.238 --> 00:16:37.607
There were little puddles
00:16:37.707 --> 00:16:38.575
There were little puddles of mud because it had rained,
00:16:38.642 --> 00:16:40.243
Of mud because it had rained, and it was raining that
00:16:40.310 --> 00:16:42.179
And it was raining that night terribly.
00:16:42.245 --> 00:16:43.880
Night terribly. and there were puddles
00:16:43.947 --> 00:16:45.248
And there were puddles that were bluish-green,
00:16:45.315 --> 00:16:47.417
That were bluish-green, a bluish-green color,
00:16:47.484 --> 00:16:49.352
A bluish-green color, that showed up
00:16:49.419 --> 00:16:52.556
That showed up and that actually
00:16:52.622 --> 00:16:53.924
And that actually would get on the wounds.
00:16:53.990 --> 00:16:56.159
Would get on the wounds. and what it was is amazing.
00:16:56.226 --> 00:16:58.962
And what it was is amazing. bacteria that can make
00:16:59.029 --> 00:17:00.464
Bacteria that can make insects sick,
00:17:00.530 --> 00:17:03.433
Insects sick, had been responsible --
00:17:03.500 --> 00:17:05.335
Had been responsible -- they didn't know this
00:17:05.402 --> 00:17:06.069
They didn't know this for 140 years until 2001
00:17:06.136 --> 00:17:10.040
For 140 years until 2001 when a high school senior
00:17:10.107 --> 00:17:12.409
When a high school senior heard this story,
00:17:12.476 --> 00:17:13.477
Heard this story, his mother was a biologist
00:17:13.543 --> 00:17:15.512
His mother was a biologist and they began to research it
00:17:15.579 --> 00:17:17.380
And they began to research it and they made a phenomenal,
00:17:17.447 --> 00:17:19.149
And they made a phenomenal, historic discovery.
00:17:19.216 --> 00:17:20.717
Historic discovery. and here it is,
00:17:20.784 --> 00:17:22.486
And here it is, "the healing
00:17:22.552 --> 00:17:23.153
"the healing of civil war soldiers'
00:17:23.220 --> 00:17:24.454
Of civil war soldiers' wounds that glowed
00:17:24.521 --> 00:17:25.322
Wounds that glowed in the dark intrigued them,
00:17:25.388 --> 00:17:28.458
In the dark intrigued them, and bill martin and his friend,
00:17:28.525 --> 00:17:29.960
And bill martin and his friend, jonathan curtis, seniors
00:17:30.026 --> 00:17:31.495
Jonathan curtis, seniors at bowie high school
00:17:31.561 --> 00:17:34.831
At bowie high school went on a journey to find out
00:17:34.898 --> 00:17:37.701
Went on a journey to find out what this was about
00:17:37.767 --> 00:17:38.835
What this was about and their mother,
00:17:38.902 --> 00:17:39.803
And their mother, phyllis martin
00:17:39.870 --> 00:17:40.704
Phyllis martin was a microbiologist."
00:17:40.770 --> 00:17:43.073
Was a microbiologist." this is --
00:17:43.140 --> 00:17:43.807
This is -- i'm gonna cut it down
00:17:43.874 --> 00:17:44.541
I'm gonna cut it down to what it was about,
00:17:44.608 --> 00:17:45.408
To what it was about, "they wanted to know about
00:17:45.475 --> 00:17:47.210
"they wanted to know about the glow in the dark wounds."
00:17:47.277 --> 00:17:50.580
The glow in the dark wounds." the glow in the dark wounds.
00:17:50.647 --> 00:17:52.015
The glow in the dark wounds. why were certain people having
00:17:52.082 --> 00:17:55.418
Why were certain people having glow in the dark wounds?
00:17:55.485 --> 00:17:57.654
Glow in the dark wounds? and it would light up
00:17:57.721 --> 00:17:58.688
And it would light up in the dark, as they have
00:17:58.755 --> 00:17:59.990
In the dark, as they have no light in that field,
00:18:00.056 --> 00:18:01.391
No light in that field, and yet, they would
00:18:01.458 --> 00:18:02.025
And yet, they would light up.
00:18:02.092 --> 00:18:02.626
Light up. why?
00:18:02.692 --> 00:18:03.727
Why? they couldn't figure it out.
00:18:03.793 --> 00:18:05.795
They couldn't figure it out. but it was a mystery.
00:18:05.862 --> 00:18:06.830
But it was a mystery. the battle of shiloh
00:18:06.897 --> 00:18:08.365
The battle of shiloh took on a mysterious --
00:18:08.431 --> 00:18:11.168
Took on a mysterious -- if you were a veteran
00:18:11.234 --> 00:18:13.003
If you were a veteran of the battle of shiloh,
00:18:13.069 --> 00:18:14.237
Of the battle of shiloh, people would stop
00:18:14.304 --> 00:18:15.572
People would stop in their tracks because
00:18:15.639 --> 00:18:16.873
In their tracks because it was so horrific.
00:18:16.940 --> 00:18:18.208
It was so horrific. it was such a hand-to-hand
00:18:18.275 --> 00:18:20.076
It was such a hand-to-hand combat and the injuries
00:18:20.143 --> 00:18:21.645
Combat and the injuries were so severe.
00:18:21.711 --> 00:18:22.612
Were so severe. and then, the story of what
00:18:22.679 --> 00:18:24.748
And then, the story of what they would call and dub,
00:18:24.814 --> 00:18:27.484
They would call and dub, "the angel glow,"
00:18:27.551 --> 00:18:30.120
"the angel glow," that would come on
00:18:30.187 --> 00:18:30.854
That would come on the wounded.
00:18:30.921 --> 00:18:32.756
The wounded. they called it
00:18:32.822 --> 00:18:33.623
They called it 'cause they didn't know,
00:18:33.690 --> 00:18:34.391
'cause they didn't know, medically,
00:18:34.457 --> 00:18:35.192
Medically, what was taking place,
