The Book of Second Chronicles, Chapter
18. This morning and again, the Lord
willing, Wednesday night, we will look at the Book of Second
Chronicles. And let me draw this to your
attention. This story here is told twice
in Scripture. It must be important. It's told
in 1 Kings chapter 22 and again here in 2 Chronicles 18. This
is the tale or the story of two prophets. This morning we'll
look at one of them. And I hope I have your undivided
attention. Let me give you a little background
here, a little history. Israel was a divided kingdom
at this time because of Solomon's, because of David's sin, really.
It was a divided kingdom, had two kings. King Ahab was on the
throne at this particular time. He reigned over Israel. And then
there was Jehoshaphat, Solomon's great-great-grandson. He reigned
over the tribe of Judah. Jehoshaphat, look at verse 1
of chapter 18. Jehoshaphat had riches and honor
in abundance. He was a very rich man, very
well-known. King all over the earth and he
says it says he joined affinity with a happy became friends with
and buddied up with. A hat now a hat was a wicked
man. You remember who his wife was.
Jezebel is a ham and his wife were despicable. And Jehoshaphat joined up with
Ahab. Now, Jehoshaphat, listen to me.
Jehoshaphat had some truth taught to him from a young man. His
father was a pretty good king, Asa. And he'd heard the Word
of God. We're going to see that in a
little bit. How that Jehoshaphat, he'd learned truth from a boy. He knew the Scripture. They were
able to make him wise. on salvation. But he became rich
and honorable. And Scripture says riches bring
a snare. Honor is pride. Not many wise, mighty, or noble
are called, Scripture says. Well, he got caught up in all
this, riches and honor, and he clouded his judgment. And he
became friends with this sorry Ahab. Maybe, Sam, maybe for the
influence that he got. And Ahab took advantage of Jehoshaphat. He took advantage. Ahab was a... I can just see some little skinny
henpecked fellow. His wife ordered him... Well,
let me go on a minute. Verse 3. All right? Chapter 18,
verse 3. Ahab, king of Israel, took advantage
of Jehoshaphat. He said unto Jehoshaphat, king
of Judah, said, Will thou go with me to Ramoth, Gilead? Now,
over in 1 Kings, it said that Ramoth-Gilead was supposed to
belong to Israel, and they didn't have it for some reason, and
that's what Ahab said. It belongs to us. It's ours. It belongs to the Jews, Jehoshaphat,
and we need to go get it. What's ours? Will you go with
us? And Jehoshaphat was a brave man. He said yes. Look at verse
3. He answered him, said, I am as
thou art my people as thy people. We'll be with thee in the war.
We'll go. Later on, Ahab was too scared
to go to battle. And he had Jehoshaphat dress
up like him. He was a coward. Jehoshaphat
wasn't. All right. At any rate, look
at verse 4. Jehoshaphat heard something.
He knew some truth. And he said unto the king of
Israel, wait a minute now, we can't just run into this thing.
We can't just run before the Lord. We need to inquire. Verse
4, I pray thee, inquire at the word of the Lord today. We need
to seek God's word and God's will before we go and do this. We're God's people. We're going
to seek from God's word. Are you with me? You're going
to have to pay attention. or you're lost. Well, isn't that
a prophecy? You have to hear the word or
you're lost. All right, Jehoshaphat said,
wait a minute, we can't just write, Ahab said, let's go, and
Jehoshaphat said, no, wait, let's seek a word from the Lord. All right, verse 5, Ahab's idea
of inquiring from God was to have a big religious meeting.
and have all his prophets come prophesy to him. That was his
idea of inquiring of the Lord, not getting the Bible and opening
it up and reading it. Now look at verse 5. Therefore
the king of Israel, Ahab, gathered together of the prophets four
hundred men. Now these four hundred prophets
worked for Ahab. They were on the payroll. He
paid them. And so he said, here's this king,
this wicked king, and he'd just kill somebody looking at him.
He didn't like the way they looked. And he gathered, he had in a
very big meeting, called all his hirelings, all his prophets,
P-R-O-F-I-T, called them and said, Shall we go? Well, you
see, he looked at all of them and said, Go, go. Shall we go?" And every one of
them said to a man, verse 5, God will deliver it into the
king's hand. Go, go, go. Not one of them. Not one of them
said, wait a minute, we'd better pray about it. Not one of them
said, well, let's seek a word from the Lord. Let's wait on
the Lord. Let's wait, I say, not one of
them. This reminds me of modern-day
preachers. They got the answer for everything. They're so wordy. You ask them anything, they got
the answer immediately. Don't even stop to catch their
breath. Well, these fellows didn't either.
They just immediately. Let's go. Let's go. Go, O King. and the first man. So here they
were king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them
on this on his throne. They each had a broken together
a picture of this this meeting here. Here's a haven. He's got him a nice little throne
here and here's Jehoshaphat. He's got him a throne. I got
a throne here king and they were in this big the place, void and
empty place, and had all these prophets, 400 of them, and it
says all of them prophesied before them. Man, that's one of the
biggest millions ever been had. Biggest revival next to Elijah,
the one he went through before. Eight hundred and fifty of those
fellows, and Ahab, but he lost all those fellows. And now you've
got 400 more. And they had this big meeting
and all of them had something to say. Let's hear from all of
them. Can you imagine? Why do they need? Why does he
need 400 prophets? Would you tell me? Somebody tell
me. Why he had 400? It's strength in numbers, isn't
it? No, there's not. We're going
to see. We're going to see. Well, all these people can't
be wrong if they all agree that it must be so. Not necessarily. It could be four hundred wrong
and one right. Well, get all these prophets
together, four hundred of them, okay? And they all preached and
danced. I'm just certain they danced
a jig. They got to entertain the king and all his people.
Sure they did. They danced and sang, and the
young men could sing and sing. I'm sure some of them got a quartet
together. I guarantee you, people, things
hadn't changed. So they had this big meeting.
One of them, verse 10, Zedekiah, he must have really been charismatic
or something special, son of Chenaen, had made him horns of
iron. And he ran around with his horns
on his head. He made him horns of iron and
stuck his horns on his head. And he ran around saying, Thus
saith the Lord. Does that ring a bell? Jeremiah 23? He said, Thus saith
the Lord. The Lord spoke to me. Jesus told
me. God said to me this morning,
running around looking like a Now what's that? A horn's on his
head? Let's say it to the Lord, we're
going to push through Syria and do everything soon. He really
got excited, man. I bet you he jumped up on the
pulpit and swung from a chandelier. He really had the spirit. It's funny, isn't it? It's so
funny because it's so relevant. It's so relevant. All right,
all the prophets, verse 11, prophesied, saying, Go up, go up, go up,
prosper, prosper, prosper. The Lord shall, the Lord shall,
the Lord shall, go up, prosper, the Lord shall, prosper, peace,
prosperity, peace, prosperity. God said, God said, God said
what? Who heard Him say any of this?
Nobody in the last God loves you, Ahab, you and
Jezebel. He loves everybody. He has a
wonderful plan for your life, Ahab. No harm should come on
you, Ahab. Peace, prosperity, everything's
good, everything's lovely, isn't everything wonderful? Isn't it
wonderful, Ahab? Amen. What good preaching. That's
my little preacher. Jehoshaphat, who was raised on
truth, was sitting there, hearing all this, watching all this,
and he'd heard the truth. He'd heard it from Asa, who'd
heard it from his father, who'd heard it from his father, who'd
heard it from Solomon, who'd heard it from David. Jehoshaphat was sitting there
thinking, what's wrong here? This is wrong here. I don't like
this. Something missing here. And he said in verse six, look
at verse six, Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord beside
all these four hundred? Is there not a prophet of the
Lord that we may inquire of him? Isn't there, is there one man
here? who will tell us what God's Word
says. I hear what all these fellows
are saying. I hear what all their opinions,
all their thoughts, and what they say God said to them. Is there one man here who can
point us straight to the Word of God and show us that's what
he said? Is there a man who's a man? I
bet you all 400 of these fellows were just as... Ahab was. He's going to hire somebody just
like him. Isn't there not one man, Ahab,
Jehoshaphat said, who's not on the payroll, who's not for hire,
who you can't pay to tell you what you want him to tell you?
One man who fears God more than the king? Is there one man who
is true to God's word, who is true to the glory of God, who
will tell the truth and not just what men want to hear? Is there
one man? What does that say? If there is, we need to hear
from him. I heard what all these 400 say. Is there one man who will tell
us what God says? Let's look at verse 7. King of Israel, Asab, said unto
Jehoshaphat, Yea, there is one, but I hate him. There is yet one man by whom
we may inquire of the Lord, but I hate him. I hate him. Well, he acknowledged that Micaiah,
that's his name, Micaiah, he acknowledged that he's of the
Lord, that he's God's man. He acknowledged that. Like the
Pharisees of old said, You've got to be from God. No man can
do the things that you do, except God be with you. They're not
going to kill him anyway, because they're not of God. He's got
to hear God's Word. And Ahab wasn't of God and wouldn't
hear God's Word. And he said, this man, there's
one of God. There's one. He acknowledged,
didn't he? But I hate him. Why? Why would you hate him?
Look at this. He said, I hate him. He never
prophesied good unto me. He never says anything good about
anybody, especially me. All he talks about is sin, sin,
sin, and this wicked word. That's all you'll hear him say.
All you ever hear him say is, God reigns, God reigns, God reigns. That's all he wants to talk about.
That's all he wants to preach about. God reigns. All he wants to talk about. Christ,
Christ, Christ, Christ. There's other things, you know.
That's all he preaches. He's one of those sovereign grace
fellows. I hate him. All he wants to talk about is
grace, grace, grace, mercy, mercy, mercy, God's mercy, man being
dead and God being on the throne, Christ being all, and that's
all he preaches. And man is absolutely worthless
and no good and vanity of vanities, and unless God does something
for him, he doesn't say anything good about anybody. And you know
good and well, Jehoshaphat, you know good and well me and Jezebel
love Jesus. You know we're good Christians. All that fella says there's none
good, no, not one. There's none righteous, no, not
one. We know we all have our own opinion
about God and it's up to every man's interpretation, but he
says his way's the only way. He says if people don't believe
like him, even an angel from heaven doesn't preach what he
preaches. Let them go to hell. Hell is like you. I hate him.
You don't have anything good to say about anybody but God. Don't call Him. He'll mess up
our meeting, sure as the world. We're having a good time here,
and He'll put a backer on it. Everybody's in agreement here.
We've got Methodists, we've got Catholics, we've got Baptists,
we've got Presbyterians. Everybody's in agreement here.
Don't call Him. Jehoshaphat said that's the one
we need to call. See, Jehoshaphat heard something. Verse 8, so they fetched him.
Go get him. Verse 8. Fetch him quickly. Micaiah. You know what Micaiah means? Micaiah means, Who is like Jehovah? That's what his name means. I jumped off my chair when I
read that, Brother Sam. His name, this true preacher,
this true prophet of God, his very name means who is like Jehovah. So they went and got him. And
look at verse 12. Verse 12, a messenger, this is
one from the pulpit committee that they sent to get Micaiah.
Yeah, exactly. Verse 12, he went to get him
and he said to him privately, verse 12, he spake to him saying,
now wait a minute, now listen before you go up there. Behold,
the words of the prophets, the rest of these fellows, they declared
good to the king with one assent. Everybody's in agreement here.
We're at peace here. Let your word, I pray thee, be
like theirs. Speak good. Smile. Preach about God's love. Tell
everybody God's love, and that's what everybody else is saying.
Now, come on. Don't spoil things. And look at his answer. Verse
13, Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth, what my God saith. that will I speak? Nothing more, nothing less. Isn't
that wonderful? Oh, I want to hear from this
fellow. I've heard those 400. I've heard all that. I've heard
it all. Oh, we need to hear from this
fellow. Well, so here they sat. Boy, can't you see this big meeting,
all decked out, the kings on their thrones and the prophets
on their thrones, and all whooping and hollering and carrying on.
And here comes Micaiah. And verse 14, here little henpecked
Ahab says unto him, verse 14, he come to the king, and the
king Ahab said to Micaiah, Shall we go to Ramoth-Gilead to battle,
or shall I forbear? And Micaiah said, Go. Go on. Prosper. They shall be delivered
in your hand. He didn't say, The Lord said.
He didn't say, Go. He said, Shall I go? Shall I
go? Shall I go? Shall I go? Yeah,
go. And Ahab thought, hey, now wait
a minute. Something's wrong here. I've never heard you talk like
this. I've never heard you say anything positive. Call it negative
preaching. And here's what Ahab said, verse
15. The king said, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou
say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the Lord? Tell
me the truth. And Micaiah said, You're a dead
man. You're a dead man. That's what
he said in verse 16. I see all Israel scattered on
the mountains. That means a bunch of them slaughtered. Sheep that have no shepherd.
They don't have a leader. The Lord said, These have no
master. Let them return. And they all
went back home. The Lord said, You'll perish, Ahab.
You're a dead man. And so does every true prophet
stand before everyone who seeks peace and prosperity. And a word from the Lord, what
the word of the Lord says, you're a dead man. That's what the word of the Lord
first says to all men, you're a dead man. He's dead and trespasses
in sin. All of sin to come short of the
glory of the soul that sins must surely die. God's angry with
the wicked every day. Nothing good comes from God to
man first. None of this smile, God loves
you and Jesus loves you and has died for you and won't you let
none of the prophets said that, none of the apostles said that.
You're a dead man. You've sinned against God and
come short of his glory. There's only one hope, mercy,
mercy. Ahab thought, there he goes again. Look at verse 17. Ahab said,
didn't I tell you? Verse 17. The king of Israel
said to Jehoshaphat, didn't I tell thee? That he wouldn't prophesy
ground to me with evil? I went to hear him last week,
and that's what he said. And the week before that, and that's
what he said. And the week before that, and that's what he said. He's like a broken record. Didn't I tell you? In verse 18,
Mekiah's not through. Mekiah's not through. Look at verse 18. Micaiah said,
Therefore, hear the word of the Lord. Now, listen to this. This
is very, this is amazing. Hear the word of the Lord. He's
talking to Ahab here. I saw the Lord sitting upon his
throne. Yeah, you're sitting on your
throne. But like I said before, that
one's made by American Standard Plumbing. The only one man belongs on.
God is on the throne of the universe. He reigns among the armies of
heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth. He's the king of
kings. He raises up, he dashes down. No king, no authority, no power
but of God. And he raises up and he dashes
down. And he's about to dash Ahab to
the ground for the dogs to lick his blood. He said, God's on
the throne. I see you and all your pomp and
splendor, but God's on the throne. I see man and all his pomp and
splendor and having their big meetings and patting one another
on the back and praising each other. And oh, yeah, give Jesus
a hand, too. They've got man on the throne
and Jesus outside knocking on the door. Don't they? Huh? Huh? Got him out in the rain waiting
for you to open your heart's door to let him in. He's on the
throne! Micaiah, the only true prophet
of God, said, God's on the throne. You think you are, but you're
not. We'll see very shortly. And he said in verse 18, he said,
the Lord's on the throne. I saw the Lord sitting on the
throne and all the hosts of heaven standing on his right hand, on
his left. All things at his disposal. All
things in his hands. We're not in his hands to do
it. What will you do with Jesus? We're not. He's not in our hands. Oh, my. We're in God's Four million prophets walk this
earth, and every one of them are saying, What will you do
with Jesus? Won't you let God? God's on the
throne. We're in His hands. And one here and there, may I
be so bold as to say that I'm saying right now that God reigns. There you go
again. What else is there? God's on the throne. Verse 19. And look at this. This is amazing.
The Lord said, Mekiah preached and said, The Lord said, Now
he's entered into the mysteries of heaven here. The Lord said,
Who shall entice Ahab? We're going to entice Ahab, king
of Israel, that he may go up and fall, die at Ramoth Gilead. And one spake, an angel spake,
saying, After this man, another saying, After this man, well,
let's do this, let's do that. And there came a spirit, verse
20, and stood before the Lord and said, I will entice him.
And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? He said, I'll go out and I'll
be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. He's not
going to believe Jehoshaphat, not going to believe Micaiah,
a true prophet. Only he that is of God heareth God's word,
he's not going to hear him. He's got to die. Ahab's got to
die. How are we going to do it? We're
going to lie to him. Who made him? Who sent the lie? God did. This boggles the mind of this
generation that we live in. Yet here it is. God sent a lying
spirit into the mountain. God made every one of these prophets
lie. Is that what it says, Jeanette? I want you to turn with me to
the book of 1 Thessalonians. I'm sorry, 2 Thessalonians. Second
Thessalonians chapter two. If you've never seen this, this
will wreck your theology. Second Thessalonians two. God
made these four hundred men lie to Ahab so he'd kill him. Isn't
that amazing devil? God can't do evil. He didn't. They did it. They did what their
wicked hands and will and so forth determined to do, but they
did what God had determined before them to do. You see, Elijah had already prophesied,
the word of the Lord is going to come to pass. Elijah had already
told Ahab to his face, you're going to die and the dogs are
going to lick your blood. A true prophet, Elijah. You're going
to die and the dogs are going to lick your blood and as Jezebel's
too. It's got to happen. He's got
to die. The word of the Lord's got to come to pass. And Micaiah,
well, I'm getting ahead of myself. Look at 2 Thessalonians 2. It
says in verse 10, with all deceivableness, Satan with all powers and signs
and lying wonders. Verse 10, with all deceivableness
of unrighteousness and them that perish because they receive not
the love of the truth. that they might be saved for
this cause, verse 11, God shall send them strong delusion that
they should believe a lie." 2 Corinthians 4 says similar things
on and on. Isn't that amazing? Well, you know, how do we know
that Micaiah, and I'm going to wrap this up, how do we know
that Micaiah is a true prophet of God? How do you know any man today
is a true preacher of God? We better be asking those questions. Because every man and his brother
and his mother and his sister, his mother is a preacher today.
Like somebody said, if they can't do anything else, they'll become
a preacher. Find them an empty storefront
building and get Mom and Dad and Brother Bill and start them
a church. How do we know if a man's a true
preacher? Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth,
I'll only say what God hath said. And he'll say it, Joe, just like
God said it. He won't apologize for it. Paul
said to young Timothy, he said, Hold fast the form of sound words. He said, Some will turn away
the ears from the truth unto fables. He said, They won't like
the sound of the word election. People won't like the sound of
the word predestination. They won't like the sound of
it. He said, Hold fast the form of sound words. Say it just like
God said it. He said, My sheep will hear my
voice. They'll hear it. They'll love it. Goats won't.
They'll butt, butt, butt, butt. Let the goats butt Timothy. Say the word just like I said
it. It's a fire and it's a hammer,
and it'll break their old hard heart, their old Arminian brain
in two. It'll split their little peanut
brain in two. Say it just like God said it.
Don't apologize. Don't call it family doctrine.
That's what these peanut ahead prophets say. It's family doctrine.
That's only for the family. They say what God says. They
say it just like God said it. They don't apologize for it.
They declare it, all of it. How do we know that what they
say is God's Word? They never say that the Old Testament's
done away with. They'll say the same thing. Listen
to me. A prophet today, 2,000, in the
year of the Lord, nearly 2,000 years, they'll say exactly what
Moses said. They won't change a thing. They'll
say exactly what all the prophets said. All they'll do is repeat
what the prophets have said. That's all I do, is just say
the same things over and over again. Listen to what Moses said.
Listen. In Deuteronomy 32, 39. This is
what Moses preached to the people. Moses said, Thus saith the Lord,
I am he, there is no God with me. I kill, I make alive, I wound,
I heal, neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
What are you saying, Moses? God reigns. We're in His hand. All right, let's listen to Isaiah.
What's Isaiah say? He's a true prophet. Isaiah said,
Thus saith the Lord, I am the Lord, there's none else. No God
with me. I form the light. I create darkness. I make peace. I create evil. I, the Lord, do all these things. I whet my glittering sword. I
raise my hand to heaven and say I live forever. What do you say
in Isaiah? God reigns. Let's listen to Daniel. Daniel,
what do you have to say? Daniel says, through Nebuchadnezzar,
he says this, he said, All the inhabitants of the earth are
reputed as nothing, and God doeth according to his will, according
to his will, in the armies of heaven among the inhabitants
of the earth. And none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What
doest thou? That the most high rules in the kingdom of men,
and that he appointeth it to whosoever he will." It's not
whosoever will, it's whosoever he will. What he is saying, Daniel? in his hands, a God in whose
hands thy breath is," Daniel went on to say, "...and all thy
ways will not blow aside. Prepare to meet the Lord." How do you know he's a true prophet?
He says the exact same thing that Moses, Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah,
Daniel, Ezekiel, Paul, Timothy says. Not man, God will. Not man's will, God's will. Christ's
blood, not man's decision. Christ's blood. Salvations of the Lord, not of
man's of the Lord. Same old message. Same old message. And verse 22 here in our text,
verse 22 says this, Zedekiah, do you remember that
real charismatic fellow, Zedekiah? He was running around with horns
on his head. Look at it. Verse 23, Zedekiah,
he didn't like this. Boy, he came and smoked Micaiah
on the cheap. He said, all right, if God made
me do that, which way did he go? This way. Not like that fellow that smoked
the Lord. And Micaiah said, you're going to see, buddy, you're going
to see when you're running for your life. You're going to see. And verse 24, or verse 25 and
26, the king of Israel said, take Micaiah, carry him back
to Ammon. Verse 26, feed him with a bread of affliction. Throw
him in prison. I don't like what he has to say.
Throw him in prison. And they did. And verse 27, wait a minute,
Micaiah says, stop and said, wait a minute. And he said one last thing to
Ahab, if you return in peace, if you come back, God hadn't
spoken to me. And he turned to the people and
said, you listen to me. That sound familiar, Nancy? You
come here to me. You know, let me ask people.
Let me ask everybody this. Is religion on the rise in our
day? Yeah. According to modern man, are
there not more Christians all over the world than ever before? Is the world a better place? Something must be wrong. It must
not be like they say. Well, and old Micaiah, what a man, what
a man, old Micaiah. Ahab, let me tell you the end
of this story, okay? Ahab, and you can read the rest
of that chapter for yourself later on. Ahab, I told you he
was a coward. He was a coward. He said, shut
Micaiah up. We're not going to listen to
him. Poor Jehoshaphat. He went along with Ahab. And
Ahab said, we're going to battle. All these fellows can't be wrong.
There's one fellow right. No way. Don't you agree? We're all together in this thing.
This one voice, one man can't be right and all these people
wrong. Can they, Jehoshaphat? Well, maybe not. Look at all
these good folk. Aren't they sweet? Aren't they
nice? Look at these good and sincere. There's old Reverend
Bill and Reverend John and Reverend Sue and Reverend... You know,
they're sweet folks. They love the Lord. You know
they do. They wouldn't lie to us, would they, Joe? Well, maybe
not. OK, let's go back. Wait a second. OK. All right. And Ahab said,
here, wear my clothes. Here I want you to put on. I
want you to be king for a day. Yeah, right. Ahab was scared. Ahab disguised himself. He was
a weakling, a pinhead coward. And they went into battle, to
make a long story short, went into battle and Ahab was over
here coward, you know, and disguised, you know. And Jehoshaphat's out
there in the king's robe and all the enemies said, There he
is! Get him! And all the enemy went after. And Jehoshaphat saw
them all coming at him, and he hollered, Lord, save me! He hollered
and cried unto the Lord. We're going to find out he's
one of the Lord's. Jehoshaphat's one of the Lord's. He's not going
to die. The Lord's going to protect him. And he hollered, and all
the enemy stopped and said, That ain't Ahab! Where's Ahab? And they looked,
and they couldn't find Ahab anywhere. And so they all said, Well, let's
go home. And one little fella, one little fella said, wait a
minute, I got me a brand new bow and arrow. And I ain't shot
no arrow yet. I want to shoot this thing, man.
Shoot. And oh, come on, Billy Bob, we're
going home. And Billy Bob said, I want to
shoot this arrow. Go ahead, shoot your arrow then.
He said, OK. Pew. Hit Ahab. And they have died. And they
washed his chariot out at home with the blood, and the dogs
came by and licked it. God reigns over everything in
this universe, over every arrow that flies, over every sparrow
that falls, over every king that sits on the throne, over every
pauper that sits in a hovel. God reigns and rules among the
armies of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth, and none can stay
in His hand, and whatever He has said will most certainly
come to pass. And Ahab died, and, boy,
Jehoshaphat, we're going to see Wednesday night. Oh, it puts
the fear of the Lord in Jehoshaphat. He said, If God protected me
like that, And the word of the prophet came true in such a miraculous,
and who would have thought such a thing? Would it be possible
that this man could run and hide no matter what from the justice
of God? God must be God. We're going to see him in
tonight, another prophet comes to us. All right, Joe. 272. Number two seventy please stand
with.
