- IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, ONE WAY AN ARMY WOULD OVERTAKE A CITY
- 00:22:53.418 --> 00:22:54.820
- AN ARMY WOULD OVERTAKE A CITY IS THEY WOULD CLOG UP THE

- WELLS THAT PROVIDED WATER TO THAT CITY.
- 00:22:59.324 --> 00:23:00.725
- THAT CITY. THEY WOULD FILL IT FULL OF

- THEY WOULD FILL IT FULL OF STONES.
- 00:23:01.827 --> 00:23:02.961
- STONES. BEFORE LONG, PEOPLE DIDN'T
- 00:23:03.028 --> 00:23:04.196
- BEFORE LONG, PEOPLE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DRINK AND
- 00:23:04.262 --> 00:23:05.464
- HAVE ANYTHING TO DRINK AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME OUT
- 00:23:05.530 --> 00:23:06.998
- THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME OUT FROM BEYOND THE PROTECTED
- 00:23:07.065 --> 00:23:08.233
- FROM BEYOND THE PROTECTED WALLS AND THE ARMY WOULD
- 00:23:08.300 --> 00:23:09.568
- WALLS AND THE ARMY WOULD ATTACK.

- WHEN WE WERE CHILDREN, IT FLOWED FREELY.
- 00:23:18.477 --> 00:23:20.245
