They only serve you when you bless 'em.
00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:20.421
When you bless 'em. but you take what they've got,

00:06:23.291 --> 00:06:23.991
You let 'em go through suffering,
00:06:24.058 --> 00:06:24.625
Through suffering, you let 'em go
00:06:24.692 --> 00:06:25.259
You let 'em go through hard times,
00:06:25.326 --> 00:06:26.260
Through hard times, they'll walk on you.
00:06:26.327 --> 00:06:27.762
They'll walk on you. they'll curse you to your face."
00:06:27.829 --> 00:06:29.063
They'll curse you to your face." and in that moment, job broken,
00:06:29.130 --> 00:06:31.232
And in that moment, job broken, devastated, tears his garment,
00:06:31.299 --> 00:06:33.768
Devastated, tears his garment, falls to the ground weeping,
00:06:33.835 --> 00:06:37.038
Falls to the ground weeping, and he says these
00:06:37.104 --> 00:06:37.772
And he says these powerful words,
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:39.340
Powerful words, "the lord gives,
00:06:39.407 --> 00:06:40.875
"the lord gives, the lord takes away.
00:06:40.942 --> 00:06:42.777
The lord takes away. blessed be the name
00:06:42.844 --> 00:06:43.978
Blessed be the name of the lord."
00:06:44.045 --> 00:06:45.413
Of the lord." and in that moment,
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:46.347
And in that moment, i could see just the scene
00:06:46.414 --> 00:06:48.783
I could see just the scene break and lucifer says,
00:06:48.850 --> 00:06:51.052
Break and lucifer says, "you let me do one more thing.
00:06:51.118 --> 00:06:53.254
"you let me do one more thing. you let me attack his body
00:06:53.321 --> 00:06:55.189
You let me attack his body and he'll curse you.
00:06:55.256 --> 00:06:56.991
And he'll curse you. he'll curse you to your face."
00:06:57.058 --> 00:06:58.125
He'll curse you to your face." and god said, "go ahead."
00:06:58.192 --> 00:06:59.360
And god said, "go ahead." job is not aware of this.
00:06:59.427 --> 00:07:02.363
Job is not aware of this. job does not know
00:07:02.430 --> 00:07:03.965
Job does not know what's going on.
00:07:04.031 --> 00:07:04.999
What's going on. god gives no
00:07:05.066 --> 00:07:05.967
God gives no explanation to him.
00:07:06.033 --> 00:07:08.536
Explanation to him. and after a day like that
00:07:08.603 --> 00:07:10.104
And after a day like that you would think that
00:07:10.171 --> 00:07:11.172
You would think that would be enough for anybody,
00:07:11.239 --> 00:07:12.406
Would be enough for anybody, but the next day boils
00:07:12.473 --> 00:07:13.941
But the next day boils break out on job
00:07:14.008 --> 00:07:15.309
Break out on job from the top of his head
00:07:15.376 --> 00:07:16.511
From the top of his head to the soles of his feet,
00:07:16.577 --> 00:07:18.246
To the soles of his feet, the scripture said.
00:07:18.312 --> 00:07:19.680
The scripture said. agonizing, tormenting
00:07:19.747 --> 00:07:22.149
Agonizing, tormenting infection all in his body.
00:07:22.216 --> 00:07:25.319
Infection all in his body. and his wife who is grieving
00:07:25.386 --> 00:07:29.323
And his wife who is grieving for ten children being dead
00:07:29.390 --> 00:07:32.827
For ten children being dead the day before says,
00:07:32.894 --> 00:07:34.896
The day before says, "job, just curse god and die.
00:07:34.962 --> 00:07:37.632
"job, just curse god and die. we're finished.
00:07:37.698 --> 00:07:38.533
We're finished. we've lost everything."
00:07:38.599 --> 00:07:41.536
We've lost everything." and then, his friends,
00:07:41.602 --> 00:07:42.803
And then, his friends, job's friends come and --
00:07:42.870 --> 00:07:44.872
Job's friends come and -- you can read it
00:07:44.939 --> 00:07:45.873
You can read it for 30 chapters,
00:07:45.940 --> 00:07:47.942
For 30 chapters, they do nothing
00:07:48.009 --> 00:07:48.910
They do nothing in his dark hour
00:07:48.976 --> 00:07:51.012
In his dark hour but accuse him and tell him
00:07:51.078 --> 00:07:52.446
But accuse him and tell him it's the judgment of god.
00:07:52.513 --> 00:07:54.348
It's the judgment of god. and you've done secret sin
00:07:54.415 --> 00:07:55.683
And you've done secret sin and you're getting
00:07:55.750 --> 00:07:56.584
And you're getting what you deserve,
00:07:56.651 --> 00:07:57.385
What you deserve, and this is god
00:07:57.451 --> 00:07:58.386
And this is god getting back at you,
00:07:58.452 --> 00:07:59.287
Getting back at you, and you're not righteous,
00:07:59.353 --> 00:08:00.855
And you're not righteous, and you don't --
00:08:00.922 --> 00:08:01.656
And you don't -- you're a hypocrite.
00:08:01.722 --> 00:08:02.790
You're a hypocrite. they called him name
00:08:02.857 --> 00:08:04.458
They called him name after name in humiliation
00:08:04.525 --> 00:08:07.061
After name in humiliation for 30 chapters.
00:08:07.128 --> 00:08:10.064
It's really something.
00:08:13.701 --> 00:08:18.506
It's really something. and in that moment,
00:08:18.573 --> 00:08:20.374
And in that moment, when he refused to bow,
00:08:20.441 --> 00:08:22.843
When he refused to bow, "though he slay me,
00:08:22.910 --> 00:08:24.445
"though he slay me, yet will i trust him."
00:08:24.512 --> 00:08:26.514
Yet will i trust him." it was in that moment
00:08:26.581 --> 00:08:28.516
It was in that moment that he won the victory,
00:08:28.583 --> 00:08:29.817
That he won the victory, and the bible said
00:08:29.884 --> 00:08:30.952
And the bible said he prayed for his friends.
00:08:31.018 --> 00:08:32.887
He prayed for his friends. he did not die in a "why?"
00:08:32.954 --> 00:08:37.425
He did not die in a "why?" he released forgiveness
00:08:37.491 --> 00:08:38.993
He released forgiveness and moved into a divine purpose.
00:08:39.060 --> 00:08:43.331
And moved into a divine purpose. you can die in your why.
00:08:43.397 --> 00:08:46.233
You can die in your why. god may never answer your why,
00:08:46.300 --> 00:08:48.269
God may never answer your why, but i tell you this,
00:08:48.336 --> 00:08:49.937
But i tell you this, if you will release forgiveness
00:08:50.004 --> 00:08:53.007
If you will release forgiveness you will move into
00:08:53.074 --> 00:08:54.075
You will move into the purpose of the pain
00:08:54.141 --> 00:08:55.676
The purpose of the pain that you have gone through.
00:08:55.743 --> 00:08:58.145
That you have gone through. jesus was on the cross
00:08:58.212 --> 00:08:59.313
Jesus was on the cross and he asked,
00:08:59.380 --> 00:09:00.214
And he asked, "why have you forsaken me?"
00:09:00.281 --> 00:09:03.050
"why have you forsaken me?" there are times
00:09:03.117 --> 00:09:04.151
There are times when we cry, "why?"
00:09:04.218 --> 00:09:06.087
When we cry, "why?" and it's not wrong to say why,
00:09:06.153 --> 00:09:09.023
And it's not wrong to say why, but don't die in your why.
00:09:09.090 --> 00:09:11.993
But don't die in your why. jesus on that same cross,
00:09:12.059 --> 00:09:13.794
Jesus on that same cross, when he did not get
00:09:13.861 --> 00:09:14.795
When he did not get an answer from the father,
00:09:14.862 --> 00:09:16.631
An answer from the father, he said, "why have you
00:09:16.697 --> 00:09:17.798
He said, "why have you forsaken me?"
00:09:17.865 --> 00:09:18.866
Forsaken me?" he then immediately
00:09:18.933 --> 00:09:20.334
He then immediately in the next verse said,
00:09:20.401 --> 00:09:21.602
In the next verse said, "father, forgive them,
00:09:21.669 --> 00:09:23.771
"father, forgive them, they know --
00:09:23.838 --> 00:09:24.205
They know -- and when he moved
00:09:24.271 --> 00:09:25.539
And when he moved into forgiveness,
00:09:25.606 --> 00:09:26.807
Into forgiveness, he moved from a why
00:09:26.874 --> 00:09:28.909
He moved from a why to eternal purpose.
00:09:28.976 --> 00:09:34.181
To eternal purpose. and so, job speaks
00:09:34.248 --> 00:09:36.317
And so, job speaks and his story --
00:09:36.384 --> 00:09:36.984
And his story -- i mean, think with me,
00:09:37.051 --> 00:09:38.686
I mean, think with me, how many people,
00:09:38.753 --> 00:09:40.254
How many people, how much comfort
00:09:40.321 --> 00:09:42.156
How much comfort has one human being --
00:09:42.223 --> 00:09:43.424
Has one human being -- it's the oldest book
00:09:43.491 --> 00:09:44.525
It's the oldest book in the bible.
00:09:44.592 --> 00:09:45.693
In the bible. they tell us that
00:09:45.760 --> 00:09:47.128
They tell us that he wrote it not personally,
00:09:47.194 --> 00:09:52.266
He wrote it not personally, but probably and almost
00:09:52.333 --> 00:09:53.701
But probably and almost certainly used a translator
00:09:53.768 --> 00:09:56.337
Certainly used a translator and a transcriber.
00:09:56.404 --> 00:09:58.039
And a transcriber. and he told his story
00:09:58.105 --> 00:10:00.274
And he told his story and someone, unnamed,
00:10:00.341 --> 00:10:02.009
And someone, unnamed, wrote it and it became
00:10:02.076 --> 00:10:03.678
Wrote it and it became the oldest book of the bible.
00:10:03.744 --> 00:10:05.913
The oldest book of the bible. and in that parchment
00:10:05.980 --> 00:10:09.116
And in that parchment that would become a message
00:10:09.183 --> 00:10:11.285
That would become a message all over the world --
00:10:11.352 --> 00:10:12.586
All over the world -- do you know that the bible said
00:10:12.653 --> 00:10:13.888
Do you know that the bible said in the book of job 42 that,
00:10:13.954 --> 00:10:17.091
In the book of job 42 that, he lived a 140 years
00:10:17.158 --> 00:10:18.993
He lived a 140 years after his trial?
00:10:19.060 --> 00:10:20.961
After his trial? and what's interesting
00:10:21.028 --> 00:10:22.096
And what's interesting about his story is,
00:10:22.163 --> 00:10:23.297
About his story is, he did not write that book
00:10:23.364 --> 00:10:24.498
He did not write that book or didn't have that book written
00:10:24.565 --> 00:10:27.201
Or didn't have that book written and tell his whole story in
00:10:27.268 --> 00:10:29.303
And tell his whole story in the middle of his trial.
00:10:29.370 --> 00:10:31.238
The middle of his trial. he waited three years
00:10:31.305 --> 00:10:32.406
He waited three years before he wrote the book,
00:10:32.473 --> 00:10:35.376
Before he wrote the book, and he had someone
00:10:35.443 --> 00:10:36.544
And he had someone write it for him.
00:10:36.610 --> 00:10:37.445
Write it for him. he told his story.
00:10:37.511 --> 00:10:38.846
He told his story. don't write your story
00:10:38.913 --> 00:10:41.415
Don't write your story in the middle of your story.
00:10:41.482 --> 00:10:43.951
In the middle of your story. don't think because
00:10:44.018 --> 00:10:45.319
Don't think because you're hurting right now
00:10:45.386 --> 00:10:47.688
You're hurting right now and you don't
00:10:47.755 --> 00:10:48.155
And you don't understand right now,
00:10:48.222 --> 00:10:49.490
Understand right now, and it makes no sense,
00:10:49.557 --> 00:10:51.492
And it makes no sense, and you feel god-forsaken.
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:52.793
And you feel god-forsaken. job was right where you are
00:10:52.860 --> 00:10:55.496
Job was right where you are right now and you're asking why,
00:10:55.563 --> 00:10:58.466
Right now and you're asking why, and the pain is real
00:10:58.532 --> 00:10:59.967
And the pain is real and you are numb from it,
00:11:00.034 --> 00:11:01.969
And you are numb from it, and you are broken from it.
00:11:02.036 --> 00:11:04.538
And you are broken from it. but don't write
00:11:04.605 --> 00:11:05.606
But don't write your story until you get
00:11:05.673 --> 00:11:07.308
Your story until you get to the end of the story.
00:11:07.374 --> 00:11:09.110
To the end of the story. and if you're in
00:11:09.176 --> 00:11:10.144
And if you're in the middle of it,
00:11:10.211 --> 00:11:11.278
The middle of it, it looks dark,
00:11:11.345 --> 00:11:12.613
It looks dark, but job got to looking
00:11:12.680 --> 00:11:14.048
But job got to looking back three years later
00:11:14.115 --> 00:11:15.783
Back three years later and he said,
00:11:15.850 --> 00:11:16.650
And he said, "i'm gonna
00:11:16.717 --> 00:11:16.917
"i'm gonna tell my story now,
00:11:16.984 --> 00:11:18.819
Tell my story now, because i can truly say --"
00:11:18.886 --> 00:11:20.755
Because i can truly say --" and the bible said,
00:11:20.821 --> 00:11:21.789
And the bible said, "the lord blessed job double."
00:11:21.856 --> 00:11:25.526
"the lord blessed job double." he went to 14,00 sheep,
00:11:25.593 --> 00:11:27.928
He went to 14,00 sheep, and he went to 6,000 camels,
00:11:27.995 --> 00:11:31.265
And he went to 6,000 camels, and he went to 1,000 oxen,
00:11:31.332 --> 00:11:33.200
And he went to 1,000 oxen, and 1,000 ox, and 1,000 donkeys.
00:11:33.267 --> 00:11:38.139
And 1,000 ox, and 1,000 donkeys. and he went to seven more sons,
00:11:38.205 --> 00:11:41.442
And he went to seven more sons, and three daughters that were
00:11:41.509 --> 00:11:43.811
And three daughters that were the most beautiful in the land,"
00:11:43.878 --> 00:11:45.479
The most beautiful in the land," the scripture said.
00:11:45.546 --> 00:11:46.814
The scripture said. because he had seven
00:11:46.881 --> 00:11:47.882
Because he had seven in heaven and he --
00:11:47.948 --> 00:11:49.617
In heaven and he -- sons and three daughters
00:11:49.683 --> 00:11:50.885
Sons and three daughters in heaven, so god doubled
00:11:50.951 --> 00:11:52.753
In heaven, so god doubled that by giving him seven
00:11:52.820 --> 00:11:54.388
That by giving him seven on earth and three.
00:11:54.455 --> 00:11:58.459
On earth and three. my point is simply this,
00:11:58.526 --> 00:12:00.995
My point is simply this, how many people have been
00:12:01.061 --> 00:12:02.930
How many people have been helped by job's story?
00:12:02.997 --> 00:12:06.133
Helped by job's story? how many times did people
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:07.668
How many times did people come to him who were broken?
00:12:07.735 --> 00:12:09.470
Come to him who were broken? how many times did people
00:12:09.537 --> 00:12:11.038
How many times did people come to him who had
00:12:11.105 --> 00:12:11.939
Come to him who had lost a family member?
00:12:12.006 --> 00:12:14.475
Lost a family member? who had lost a son,
00:12:14.542 --> 00:12:15.342
Who had lost a son, or a daughter and he would
00:12:15.409 --> 00:12:17.044
Or a daughter and he would tell his story, tell his story
00:12:17.111 --> 00:12:19.680
Tell his story, tell his story for 140 years.
00:12:19.747 --> 00:12:21.482
For 140 years. how many broken families?
00:12:21.549 --> 00:12:23.083
How many broken families? how many people
00:12:23.150 --> 00:12:23.884
How many people who were diagnosed with
00:12:23.951 --> 00:12:24.985
Who were diagnosed with a horrible disease
00:12:25.052 --> 00:12:26.187
A horrible disease and they felt like they were
00:12:26.253 --> 00:12:27.521
And they felt like they were at the end of the world,
00:12:27.588 --> 00:12:28.856
At the end of the world, and they were given
00:12:28.923 --> 00:12:29.523
And they were given a death sentence?
00:12:29.590 --> 00:12:30.724
A death sentence? and they would come
00:12:30.791 --> 00:12:31.492
And they would come and sit at his feet,
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:32.726
And sit at his feet, and he would tell his story,
00:12:32.793 --> 00:12:34.094
And he would tell his story, and put his arms around them.
00:12:34.161 --> 00:12:35.563
And put his arms around them. and he comforted them
00:12:35.629 --> 00:12:37.431
And he comforted them with the same comfort
00:12:37.498 --> 00:12:39.333
With the same comfort god had given him.
00:12:39.400 --> 00:12:41.268
God had given him. how long?
00:12:41.335 --> 00:12:42.036
How long? i mean, did he ever
00:12:42.102 --> 00:12:43.838
I mean, did he ever suffer again?
00:12:43.904 --> 00:12:45.573
Suffer again? did he ever get a pimple
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:47.374
Did he ever get a pimple or that looked like a boil?
00:12:47.441 --> 00:12:49.643
Or that looked like a boil? and did he freak out?
00:12:49.710 --> 00:12:51.445
And did he freak out? did he have great trepidation,
00:12:51.512 --> 00:12:53.214
Did he have great trepidation, "oh, my god, it's coming back"?
00:12:53.280 --> 00:12:55.482
"oh, my god, it's coming back"? did he ever see one of his
00:12:55.549 --> 00:12:58.919
Did he ever see one of his own children die again?
00:12:58.986 --> 00:13:00.754
Own children die again? did he ever go to the funeral
00:13:00.821 --> 00:13:02.489
Did he ever go to the funeral of one of his grandchildren?
00:13:02.556 --> 00:13:05.059
Of one of his grandchildren? did he ever --
00:13:05.125 --> 00:13:06.126
Did he ever -- we think about this
00:13:06.193 --> 00:13:08.062
We think about this 140 years.
00:13:08.128 --> 00:13:09.964
140 years. think beyond
00:13:10.030 --> 00:13:11.098
Think beyond even when he died,
00:13:11.165 --> 00:13:12.533
Even when he died, when he took his last breath.
00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:15.135
When he took his last breath. you know, when a person comes
00:13:15.202 --> 00:13:16.470
You know, when a person comes into the world they inhale.
00:13:16.537 --> 00:13:18.272
[inhale]
00:13:18.906 --> 00:13:20.808
They slap that little --
00:13:21.242 --> 00:13:22.109
They slap that little -- they used to, they don't
00:13:22.176 --> 00:13:22.810
They used to, they don't do that anymore.
00:13:22.877 --> 00:13:23.577
Do that anymore. but they slapped
00:13:23.644 --> 00:13:24.345
But they slapped that little baby
00:13:24.411 --> 00:13:24.979
That little baby on the behind
00:13:25.045 --> 00:13:26.380
On the behind and it screams and it...
00:13:26.447 --> 00:13:28.082
[inhales]
00:13:28.482 --> 00:13:30.851
And then, when you die,
00:13:31.452 --> 00:13:33.988
And then, when you die, you exhale.
00:13:34.054 --> 00:13:34.722
[exhale]
00:13:34.955 --> 00:13:35.222
That's how you know some --
00:13:35.623 --> 00:13:36.557
That's how you know some -- i've been with people
00:13:36.624 --> 00:13:37.291
I've been with people when they die.
00:13:37.358 --> 00:13:41.896
When they die. and even the rabbis teach,
00:13:41.962 --> 00:13:44.932
And even the rabbis teach, even breath has
00:13:44.999 --> 00:13:46.834
Even breath has the name of god in it.
00:13:46.901 --> 00:13:48.836
The name of god in it. yah...weh.
00:13:48.903 --> 00:13:53.007
Yah...weh. yah...weh.
00:13:53.073 --> 00:13:57.912
Yah...weh. job took his last breath,
00:13:57.978 --> 00:14:00.481
Job took his last breath, and that little book
00:14:00.547 --> 00:14:02.049
And that little book of his story began
00:14:02.116 --> 00:14:03.050
Of his story began to cover the globe
00:14:03.117 --> 00:14:04.652
To cover the globe through the millenniums.
00:14:04.718 --> 00:14:05.286
Through the millenniums. how many people
00:14:05.352 --> 00:14:06.587
How many people has he helped?
00:14:06.654 --> 00:14:07.922
Has he helped? how many times
00:14:07.988 --> 00:14:08.889
How many times has he been quoted?
00:14:08.956 --> 00:14:10.190
Has he been quoted? how many times has he been
00:14:10.257 --> 00:14:11.926
How many times has he been used in messages like
00:14:11.992 --> 00:14:13.794
Used in messages like i'm doing right now?
00:14:13.861 --> 00:14:16.430
I'm doing right now? the point is,
00:14:16.497 --> 00:14:17.765
The point is, he had no idea how far
00:14:17.831 --> 00:14:21.035
He had no idea how far of a shadow his experience,
00:14:21.101 --> 00:14:23.070
Of a shadow his experience, his pain, his wounds, his grief,
00:14:23.137 --> 00:14:27.174
His pain, his wounds, his grief, his sorrow, his darkness,
00:14:27.241 --> 00:14:29.476
His sorrow, his darkness, he had no idea how far that
00:14:29.543 --> 00:14:32.346
He had no idea how far that shadow would be cast even
00:14:32.413 --> 00:14:34.381
Shadow would be cast even through the millenniums.
00:14:34.448 --> 00:14:35.683
Through the millenniums. and here we stand 4,000 years
00:14:35.749 --> 00:14:39.053
And here we stand 4,000 years later still proclaiming
00:14:39.119 --> 00:14:41.055
Later still proclaiming the faithfulness of god
00:14:41.121 --> 00:14:42.756
The faithfulness of god in the midst of life's
00:14:42.823 --> 00:14:44.692
In the midst of life's most serve trials.

The battleground of shiloh. we're talking about
00:15:45.185 --> 00:15:46.253
We're talking about hellish warfare.
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:48.622
Hellish warfare. we're talking about,
00:15:48.689 --> 00:15:50.290
We're talking about, they did not have
00:15:50.357 --> 00:15:51.325
They did not have modern medicine,
00:15:51.392 --> 00:15:52.292
Modern medicine, they would cut off
00:15:52.359 --> 00:15:53.861
They would cut off and amputate --
00:15:53.927 --> 00:15:55.362
And amputate -- people were dismembered,
00:15:55.429 --> 00:15:57.431
People were dismembered, and people were laying
00:15:57.498 --> 00:15:58.732
And people were laying all over that field,
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:01.869
All over that field, and they were dying,
00:16:01.935 --> 00:16:02.936
And they were dying, and they were hoping
00:16:03.003 --> 00:16:04.838
And they were hoping someone would find them.
00:16:04.905 --> 00:16:06.640
Someone would find them. someone, if they were alive,
00:16:06.707 --> 00:16:08.108
Someone, if they were alive, would find them among

Would find them among the thousands and thousands
00:16:09.843 --> 00:16:11.912
The thousands and thousands that were dead all around them.
00:16:11.979 --> 00:16:15.983
That were dead all around them. it was called

It's what history records as the angel glow.
00:16:21.722 --> 00:16:26.060
That when they
00:16:26.160 --> 00:16:26.727
Looked out on the field,
00:16:26.794 --> 00:16:29.063
There were certain soldiers
00:16:29.129 --> 00:16:31.832
Who looked down
00:16:31.899 --> 00:16:32.699
On their wounds,
00:16:32.766 --> 00:16:33.634
And their wounds began
00:16:33.700 --> 00:16:35.169
To glow mysteriously.
00:16:35.235 --> 00:16:37.604
There were little puddles
00:16:37.704 --> 00:16:38.572
There were little puddles of mud because it had rained,
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:40.240
Of mud because it had rained, and it was raining that
00:16:40.307 --> 00:16:42.176
And it was raining that night terribly.
00:16:42.242 --> 00:16:43.877
Night terribly. and there were puddles
00:16:43.944 --> 00:16:45.245
And there were puddles that were bluish-green,
00:16:45.312 --> 00:16:47.414
That were bluish-green, a bluish-green color,
00:16:47.481 --> 00:16:49.349
A bluish-green color, that showed up
00:16:49.416 --> 00:16:52.553
That showed up and that actually
00:16:52.619 --> 00:16:53.921
And that actually would get on the wounds.
00:16:53.987 --> 00:16:56.156
Would get on the wounds. and what it was is amazing.
00:16:56.223 --> 00:16:58.959
And what it was is amazing. bacteria that can make
00:16:59.026 --> 00:17:00.461
Bacteria that can make insects sick,
00:17:00.527 --> 00:17:03.430
Insects sick, had been responsible --
00:17:03.497 --> 00:17:05.332
Had been responsible -- they didn't know this
00:17:05.399 --> 00:17:06.066
They didn't know this for 140 years until 2001
00:17:06.133 --> 00:17:10.037
For 140 years until 2001 when a high school senior
00:17:10.104 --> 00:17:12.406
When a high school senior heard this story,
00:17:12.473 --> 00:17:13.474
Heard this story, his mother was a biologist
00:17:13.540 --> 00:17:15.509
His mother was a biologist and they began to research it
00:17:15.576 --> 00:17:17.377
And they began to research it and they made a phenomenal,
00:17:17.444 --> 00:17:19.146
And they made a phenomenal, historic discovery.
00:17:19.213 --> 00:17:20.714
Historic discovery. and here it is,
00:17:20.781 --> 00:17:22.483
And here it is, "the healing
00:17:22.549 --> 00:17:23.150
"the healing of civil war soldiers'
00:17:23.217 --> 00:17:24.451
Of civil war soldiers' wounds that glowed
00:17:24.518 --> 00:17:25.319
Wounds that glowed in the dark intrigued them,
00:17:25.385 --> 00:17:28.455
In the dark intrigued them, and bill martin and his friend,
00:17:28.522 --> 00:17:29.957
And bill martin and his friend, jonathan curtis, seniors
00:17:30.023 --> 00:17:31.492
Jonathan curtis, seniors at bowie high school
00:17:31.558 --> 00:17:34.828
At bowie high school went on a journey to find out
00:17:34.895 --> 00:17:37.698
Went on a journey to find out what this was about
00:17:37.764 --> 00:17:38.832
What this was about and their mother,
00:17:38.899 --> 00:17:39.800
And their mother, phyllis martin
00:17:39.867 --> 00:17:40.701
Phyllis martin was a microbiologist."
00:17:40.767 --> 00:17:43.070
Was a microbiologist." this is --
00:17:43.137 --> 00:17:43.804
This is -- i'm gonna cut it down
00:17:43.871 --> 00:17:44.538
I'm gonna cut it down to what it was about,
00:17:44.605 --> 00:17:45.405
To what it was about, "they wanted to know about
00:17:45.472 --> 00:17:47.207
"they wanted to know about the glow in the dark wounds."
00:17:47.274 --> 00:17:50.577
The glow in the dark wounds." the glow in the dark wounds.
00:17:50.644 --> 00:17:52.012
The glow in the dark wounds. why were certain people having
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:55.415
Why were certain people having glow in the dark wounds?
00:17:55.482 --> 00:17:57.651
Glow in the dark wounds? and it would light up
00:17:57.718 --> 00:17:58.685
And it would light up in the dark, as they have
00:17:58.752 --> 00:17:59.987
In the dark, as they have no light in that field,
00:18:00.053 --> 00:18:01.388
No light in that field, and yet, they would
00:18:01.455 --> 00:18:02.022
And yet, they would light up.
00:18:02.089 --> 00:18:02.623
Light up. why?
00:18:02.689 --> 00:18:03.724
Why? they couldn't figure it out.
00:18:03.790 --> 00:18:05.792
They couldn't figure it out. but it was a mystery.
00:18:05.859 --> 00:18:06.827
But it was a mystery. the battle of shiloh
00:18:06.894 --> 00:18:08.362
The battle of shiloh took on a mysterious --
00:18:08.428 --> 00:18:11.165
Took on a mysterious -- if you were a veteran
00:18:11.231 --> 00:18:13.000
If you were a veteran of the battle of shiloh,
00:18:13.066 --> 00:18:14.234
Of the battle of shiloh, people would stop
00:18:14.301 --> 00:18:15.569
People would stop in their tracks because
00:18:15.636 --> 00:18:16.870
In their tracks because it was so horrific.
00:18:16.937 --> 00:18:18.205
It was so horrific. it was such a hand-to-hand
00:18:18.272 --> 00:18:20.073
It was such a hand-to-hand combat and the injuries
00:18:20.140 --> 00:18:21.642
Combat and the injuries were so severe.
00:18:21.708 --> 00:18:22.609
Were so severe. and then, the story of what
00:18:22.676 --> 00:18:24.745
And then, the story of what they would call and dub,
00:18:24.811 --> 00:18:27.481
They would call and dub, "the angel glow,"
00:18:27.548 --> 00:18:30.117
"the angel glow," that would come on
00:18:30.184 --> 00:18:30.851
That would come on the wounded.
00:18:30.918 --> 00:18:32.753
The wounded. they called it
00:18:32.819 --> 00:18:33.620
They called it 'cause they didn't know,
00:18:33.687 --> 00:18:34.388
'cause they didn't know, medically,
