his chiefs the pharaoh was having troubling dreams and he was looking for someone to interpret the meeting but no one was able to offer any help is there nobody nobody in the whole of egypt who can interpret who can interpret my dream my lord may i who are you my lord my name is jayla i'm your chief warden what do you have to say my lord there is a hebrew prisoner in my ward who can interpret people's dream when i was in prison he interpreted my dreams and it happened just the way he explained hmm bring him here maybe the prisoners are better than my ministers hanging around so you are the one my chief warden recommended what's your name my name is joseph my lord my warden says you interpreted many of his dreams can you do that for mine too my lord it is god who sends dreams and he is the one who reveals the meaning may i hear about your dreams i'll try my best to interpret it all right i had two dreams and in the first one i saw that there were seven healthy cows grazing by the river but all of a sudden seven lean and ugly cows came out of the water and they swallowed all the healthy ones what do you think can you tell them what that meant [Music] can you tell me about your other dream hmm i dreamt that seven heads of grain healthy and sleek were going on a single stalk after them seven other heads of grain sprouted thin and scorched by the wind the seven thin heads of the grain swallowed the healthy ones both dreams mean the same thing god has revealed to you what he's going to do the seven fat cows and the seven heads of grain mean that seven years of great riches will be coming to egypt but this will be followed by seven years of famine and many will die what do you think i should do i think you should save the grain from the years of planting and you can use them later during the famine you should appoint someone who can do this work thank you joseph but i don't think i can find another man like you who's so filled with the spirit of the god you shall be chancellor and all my people shall respect your orders thank you thank you your majesty here take this ring from now on in all of egypt only i will be greater than you you are generous my lord thank you so much like joseph foothold after seven years of abundance there was no rain after the seventh year there were no crops and the animals died of starvation but joseph had collected one-fifth of land's crawl and he was saving it for the famine people from different lands arrived at joseph's doorstep to buy the grains from him one day when the drought became severe in canaan jacob sent his sons to buy some grain his brothers also arrived at the doorstep not knowing who joseph really was do you think he will give us the grains there hmm i think so people say that he's a kind man i hope

these cheating with the scales there are soldiers here too no you won't escape from the lord with the help of your army huh go in peace my friend the god of israel is with you excuse me where are you all going oh you didn't know they have built a large temple in battle and i've heard that the idol there the golden calf is really beautiful then why those animals oh these are the sacrifices for the god can you please tell me how many slaves you have i have around 150 of them and i have around 200 slaves you crush the poor take their belongings and now you're offering sacrifice to please god what no look offering to god what is snatched from the poor is like killing a son before his father excuse me i have been listening to your discussion so are you saying that we shouldn't offer sacrifices to the lord your hands are stained with human blood god will not be pleased with your sacrifices how dare you what are we supposed to do then you must do justice you must put an end to slavery the poor have every right to live freely you must let them go in the end god will judge you for what you do what he says is the truth yes he must be a prophet how dare he talk about us like that yes we must inform the chief priest about him some people realize that amos was speaking the truth and they knew that he was a prophet but some were not quite happy with what he was saying one day amos went to the slave market in samaria curious youth of 20 the billing starts at 50 shekels 55 shackles 60 shekels sold for 60 shekels here two healthy boys bidding starts at 10 shekels for both 15 shackles 20 stop it huh who's that how dare you enslave the people who god had liberated what how dare you stop the slave trade stop stop this lunatic soldiers soldiers stop them but before they could do anything the slaves had escaped they returned to their homeland that afternoon one man who escaped from the slave market reached his village paris it's you hello my friend oh it's so good to see you perez did they let you go a prophet a prophet from judah came to the slave market and created a riot there prophet from judah what did he do he said that the children of israel are not to be enslaved huh thank god that there's someone talking for us yes it was the lord who freed us we walked home hmm the taxes and the interests the rich are exploiting us we can't go on feeding them like this ah is that is that what is it it's him the prophet the prophet who freed you yes let's go to him master master who are you i was in the slave market today morning and you freed me it's your right to be free god has liberated you but i'm afraid now what if the soldiers come searching for us fear no more we have the law of the law to rule this country the king and the rich have taken the law into their hands no the lord is the king of israel then what about jeroboam he he is an imposter who got into power by cheating people but but the priest and the elders are on his side don't worry my brother all of them have joined their hands in exploiting the poor but their days are numbered in the meantime the landlords and other rich men were getting real upset about what was going on nobody nobody's willing to repay the debts these days they are saying that the interest is too high even the tenants are refusing to pay the rent we must use all our foes to suppress him but why is this happening now i mean it was all going very well till a few days ago it's because of that manner who that emote from tequila he claims to be a prophet huh he wants to free all the slaves ban all worship and topple the government what he's pretending to be the leader of the poor and he's teaching that god is on their side he is jealous because we are living well we can't let him go on like this we must do something immediately people were getting upset about what amos was preaching to people and one day amos was going by a court in samaria when he stopped by to listen to a hearing my lord this man owes me a thousand shekels but he is refusing to pay now your honor i borrowed only 50 shekels and when i went to repay him he started lying i don't know what to do now your honor may i speak to you for a moment in private hmm calm you listen if you can give a verdict in my favor then i will give you 300 shekels please my honor give us justice he is lying please please don't listen to him silence the landlord is right the accused must pay 1 000 shackles immediately if he doesn't pay then confiscate his land sell his wife and children and auction him at the slave market by tomorrow no please don't gods take him away no he is lying please help stop it who is it you call yourself a judge of israel who are you to question me you you accept bribes and punish the poor you sentence the innocent to slavery order order the goat this isn't a court you are robbers and murderers not the judges it is god who speaks i have heard the cries of the poor no one will escape my judgment shut up if you open your mouth again then i will shut it down forever if you don't listen to the cries of the poor then you will be the ones crying tomorrow gods take him away and the next day amos went to the temple where the priests were offering sacrifices oh god almighty please accept the sacrifice and shower your blessings upon us amen amen give us wealth and prosperity give us stop your chanting who are you now listen to these words of god i hate and despise your feasts and festivals i hate your offerings but but god has asked us to offer the sacrifices go away with your offerings never step into this temple again how dare you this is the royal temple you have set up idols against my command take them away from my presence you endure slavery encourage corruption and you worship idols amos watch your mouth i won't tolerate this arrogance let justice roll down like waters integrity like an unfailing stream god says your wife shall be forced to go to the streets your children will fall by the sword the people of israel will be sent into exile because of you you will die in a foreign land god holds a plumbing line over israel no one shall escape the king the priests and all the judges will be banished gods arrest him the wrath of god is coming down upon you like a roaring flame shut up where is your god now [Laughter] take him to the prison let gestures roll down but amo's call for justice fell on deaf ears he was imprisoned and tortured for telling the god's word to the people wow that's such an amazing story father those rich people in israel had become so cruel yes lucy they ignored god's commandments and led their lives as they desired his words are like a lion's raw wasn't it yes matthew now shall i ask you a couple of questions yes where was amos from amos was from a small village called tekuwa correct and what was his profession he was a shepherd very good matthew now tell me why he was mad at the judges he was mad because they were taking bribes to punish the innocent correct that's all for today now i want you all to memorize this quote can you yes father let justice roll down like waters integrity like an unfailing stream now repeat with me let justice roll down with water integrity like an unfailing stream very good everyone will meet tomorrow with a new story which story are you going to tell us tomorrow father i'm telling you the story of hosia the story of a man who experienced the pain of loving as god did see you again goodbye goodbye father [Music] hello kids how are you matthew i'm fine father father you told us that you'll be telling the story of elijah today yes lucy i will tell you the story of elijah today who was he father elijah was the first prophet of god prophet yes a prophet was a spokesman of god a defender of the covenant hmm do you remember the story of king solomon yes father you told us a story yesterday yes when solomon became the king his wives introduced idol worship in israel this was a disaster consequently authority became corrupt the poor and the weak were treated very cruelly worst of them was a king named ahab and his wife jezebel he and most of other people worshipped a god named baal it is during this period when prophets appeared and elijah was the first of such prophets elijah's name meant my god is lord and true to his name he was a man burning in his faith to the lord it all started when god asked elijah to deliver a message to the king [Music] i hear the cries of innocent people everywhere lord anyone who worships you is being slaughtered what can i do what can i do i've become so old and weak god why are you being so silent elijah huh god elijah fear not i am with you go to neighbor's fine yard and meet king ahab there i will lord i will go and meet him please my king i have done nothing wrong nothing wrong you say how about worshiping false gods no my lord i worship only one true god the god of israel huh how dare you don't you know that baal is the one true god take him away and kill him and kill everyone who doesn't worship our great god val no please don't no come here you fool [Music] the wine here is beautiful jezebel's idea worked all we had to do was to accuse naboth falsely the owner of this wineyard and then kill him and and now this whole vineyard is mine brilliant ahab you are the curse of israel huh who is that who are you my name is elijah i have come here to deliver a message from god what is that you have done what is displeasing to me you fill the land with idols and led israel into sin you deny justice to the poor you committed a murder and now you are taking his property as well [Music] i will bring disaster on your family your children will be eaten by walters and dogs will eat your wife jezebel i'm sorry i have sinned please please pray that the lord may forgive me please no you have no forgiveness you have defiled the land with idols no reigns will fall on this land until i say let your bell give you the crops after announcing the judgment of god elijah turned and walked away elijah knew that if he was found then he would get killed so he went into the wilderness and he hid himself near a stream [Music] king ahab returned to the palace and told his wife jessica everything what had happened i i don't know what to do that prophet his words frighten me don't be a fool dear you know that it is bal who sends the rain and gives us good crops but there's nothing to worry about if it's still troubling you then we will offer special sacrifices to bal from tomorrow but that prophet his words are still haunting me what was his name i'll send soldiers to catch that old fool we will let the people watch as he's been sacrificed to pal ha i i don't think we can find him nobody knows where he comes and where he goes listen to media i think it's better for us to repent and turn to the god of israel never there will be no god but baal i will find that old man even if he's hiding under the earth i will find him and kill him huh jezebel sent her soldiers everywhere in search of elijah but nobody could find him in the meantime just like god told ahab a severe drought came over the land trees and plants dried up but god took care of elijah he drank water from the stream and crows brought him bread [Music] praise and glory to the lord who provides me with bread and water the drought became so harsh that the crops died up and the cattle began to die too jezebel thought bell would be pleased by human sacrifices and send rain so she started sacrificing the israelites one by one mother help me no go away [Music] mother help me how long my lord how long poor people are starving to death the blood of your faithful servants is flooding baal's altar why are you silent my lord elijah huh yes my lord you must go to saraptha inside and there a widow will give you food the stream is going to dry up yes my lord i will heeding god's words elijah left the forest and left for sarita he walked for many days without food and water and finally he arrived at the village of saratha is this the village of saraptha yes who are you you look tired i have been walking for many days can you can you please give me morsel of bread and some water to drink please i all we have is flour left for just one bread and little oil i i was going to bake it and eat it with my son before we die don't worry go home and make food for you and your son but first make a small loaf of bread for me and bring it to me the lord has told me that if you do this your jaw will never go empty and the jug of oil will never go dry huh i will come back in a while then [Music] so the old woman went home and did as elijah told her the jar was refilled with floor and the jug never ran out of oil but it's a miracle god worked miracle for them and they never ran out of food for many days the bin of floor was never used up nor did the jug of oil elijah lived with them as long as the drought lasted but one day no my son what happened why are you crying my son he he what happened tell me he he died today he was sick for many days do not worry your son will live let me go to him [Music] lord my god hear your servant's prayer you are the refuge of the poor and the father of the orphans let this child live again the lord heard elijah's prayers the soul of the child came back to him and he was alive again huh what happened [Music] you are alive my son mother my son you are back thank you god [Music] thank you now i know that the word of the lord in your mouth is the truth after three and a half years of drought god ordered elijah to return to israel king ahab met him at the city gate you are the curse of israel how dare you come back to israel you're so angry didn't your god bell give you any reigns yet it's all because of you it's all your tricks the people are suffering because of you [Music] then listen to me gather all the people of israel on mount carmel tomorrow ah you must invite all the priests and prophets of baal two what are you going to do you will see that [Music] tomorrow the people of israel assembled at mount carmel the next day all the priests and prophets of baal were there too there were as many as 850 of them present there how long are you going to worship two different gods how long will you keep changing your mind if the lord is god follow him but if bad is god then you follow him this is what we are going to do i am the only prophet left of the lord and bal has over 850 [Music] get two bulls and place one on each altar but do not light the fire whoever sends the fire to consume the sacrifice will be the one true god that's a great idea yes we'll know who is true god today what does he think he's doing he is challenging us what if we fail yes i'm scared the king will kill us if we fail what are you afraid of get the bulls prove that baal is your true god prophet elijah looks so confident look at the priest of val they are shaking like leaves well there are about eight hundred of balls priestia let them start first bring the bulls bell's priest prepared the altar they lay the wood cut up the bull and late placed it on the altar then they started calling out to baal their god lord bell sit down the fire fire fire fire gold bell fire fire fire gold ball fire fire fire my god i hope this works what happened your god is not hearing your prayers call lauda maybe he's sleeping or must have gone out for a walk shout louder fire fire fire the priest shouted and danced around the altar yelling to bell to start the fire they shouted and shouted from morning to noon with no answer why isn't our god sending the fire is it baby he isn't the true god at all let's see if elijah's god sends the fire elijah's altar finally elijah called the people over to his altar he began to make his altar he placed the woods took some stones and put them around his altar then elijah did something very strange he asked the people to pour water over his bowl and the wood huh did he just ask us to pour water over his altar yeah how will the wood burn if we pour water on them he is a fool if bell can't help us then how can his god send the fire people did as elijah said they poured water over the woods and the bull everything now was soaked in water [Music] [Applause] after the entire altar was soaked elijah stepped forward and simply prayed oh lord god of abraham isaac and israel show us today that you are the real god of israel and that all i have done is obeyed you show your power to these wavering people let them see that you are the one true god just as elijah finished his prayer fire burst out of the altar and everything was covered in flames every single thing was burned down to nothing and even the water in the trenches were gone [Music] huh the people watched completely amazed and they began to fall on their knees the lord he's god the lord he is real god we are sorry lord you are the true god what how did that happen run run for your lives catch the priest of baal let no one escape kill them kill them all run away if you want to save yourself i have escaped from there and reached the palace he explained what took place at mount carmel jezebel grew furious when she heard that all the priests of baal had been killed how could you let that happen i'm sorry dear i couldn't do anything i i swear by bal whom i worship that elijah will be dead by tomorrow elijah knew that jezebel would send men to kill him he fled into the wilderness he was tired and took rest under a tree lord god i can do no more i'm sorry i'm no better than my forefathers who were killed let me die too elijah fell asleep under that tree but sometime late an angel of god woke him up elijah [Music] get up and eat you still have a long way to [Music] go he was strengthened by the bread and water he then walked for 40 days and 40 nights to reach mount horeb [Music] this is the mountain of the lord the mountain abraham climbed to sacrifice isaac the mountain where god made the covenant with israel i need to go up and hide myself there elijah climbed up the mountain [Music] and he hid himself inside one of the caves he stayed there for many days suddenly an earthquake took place huh what's happening this was followed by a storm and a fire ah [Music] this was then followed by a gentle breeze elijah then walked to the entrance of the cave god what's happening elijah what are you doing here my lord all your prophets have been killed only i am left now and the soldiers are hunting for me too elijah there are still seven thousand people in israel who haven't bend their knees before battle go back to israel anoint elisha to be your successor i'm going to execute what i said against ahab as commanded by the lord elijah returned to israel for his revolutionary mission [Music] he must be elisha did a half die has god had warned yes i have been to war against ben haddad king of syria he was mortally wounded in the war and he died later on and what happened to jezebel she died too as god had warned and because of the sins she had committed her body was eaten by dogs now shall i start with the questions yes all right now tell me what the name elijah meant the name elijah means my lord is my god that's correct lucy who was the king of israel during those times ahab was the king of israel and his wife was jezebel that's right matthew very good now who can tell me why elijah had to escape from israel the first time elijah had warned the king about the judgment of god when jezebel heard about this she got really angry and she sent soldiers to kill elijah that's right again lucy what did elijah do to prove that the lord god was the true god of israel elijah and the priests placed their sacrifices on different altars and waited for the god to send the fire elijah said that whichever god sends a fire will be the true god of israel very good george and matthew you tell me whose sacrifice was lit by fire sent by god god consumed elijah's offering by sending fire from the heaven that's right again matthew very good that's all for today children now i shall see you tomorrow with the next story the

decided to start working again to repay his debts and to get his house in order but one day when mikka had gone to the nearby town an army of soldiers came to his fields the king had given away the village of moshe to the soldiers for building their houses but the farmers of moshe didn't know about this the soldiers marched in to send the farmers away hey look there's a huge army coming to us

looks so different now hey did you hear that he terrorized the commander dayton this morning it seems the spirit of the lord is upon him all right i think mika has become a real prophet you took over our fields ahaz you corrupted one how dare you sit on the throne of my servant david huh you flooded the streets of jerusalem with the blood of innocents shut up this is the royal court so you are the high priest yes i am how dare you slaughter innocent babies in the name of sacrifices huh it was it was sacrificed to the lord you covered couldn't you cut your own throat and offer a sacrifice who asked you to offer human sacrifices stop it i am the king in this country i decide on laws and there are courts to ensure it because of you zeon will become a claw land jerusalem a heap of rubble and the mountain of temple will turn into a forest your majesty should we still tolerate this your days are numbered a king will come from bethlehem he will rule in peace and justice shut up it is god who made the king over this land and god will pull you down from your throne you robbed the poor and crushed the weak why is king letting him talk like that this is what god asks of you act justly love tenderly and walk humbly jerusalem will be purified in fire it will again become the city of peace and justice mikka challenged everyone in authority but no one dared to touch him god was protecting him and in a few days the philistines captured moreshet and destroyed the city thus the words of mika were fulfilled [Music] mikka went around the towns and villages proclaiming the message of peace and justice he was a man who was filled with the spirit of god so that was the story of mika did you all like it yes father good then shall i ask you a few questions from the story yes father all
