Today we're opening a Tower of Blister Packs. What's up guys, we're back with another epic video. Today we're opening a Tower of Blister Packs, but first we have a giveaway. I'll be giving away these three cards. All you have to do is like this video, be subscribed, let me know your favorite pack that we open and what your favorite potential pull is it. We don't have to pull it, so let me know your favorite potential pull. We actually threw in a bonus special edition here, so we're gonna start with that and then get into the blisters. So while this is not technically a blister, it is a few more packs that we get to open, which will be fun. So let's open up this Storm of Ragnarok. All right guys, how many packs of this have we opened? We still have not pulled the Ghost Rare. We are going to continue until we can get that Ghost Rare. All right, we have Light and Darkness Dragon, very cool. That's a nice start. Now we have three packs of Storm of Ragnarok. Let's see if we can get that Ghost Rare Odin. Let's see, let's go like this. Divine Relic, Blackwing Kalima, Zero Force, Tyrant's Tyrate, Sheans, Squire, got an Emerald, Mimir of the Nordic Ascendant, Musakhani and Barrier, Resonator. All right, Jack, Jack Atlas, can you give us the Odin? Who played with the, who used the Odin card? The, what's it called? Not Odin, the Beast, no, the Divine, what are they called? Who used them in the anime? I don't know, Tiki Soul, got an Emerald, Terminal World, Nordic Guides, is that what they're called? I don't know, Water, Wad-Bearing? I don't know, and Mazelion. We're off to a rough start. I already can't speak, so this is gonna be pretty fun. We've got a long way to go and I'm already struggling. Let's see what we can pull here, we have, Token Stampy, Legendary Six Samurai Shanae. Oh, we Ruxen Special, the Sixth Strike. We got the Hourglass of Courage, Carkering Ninja, oh, Ruxen Special, Riding To The Worm King, the First Foil. So it looks like it's gonna be five from the back, four, okay, and then you swap them. Okay, four and then you swap them. All right, Worm King, wait, we just ran out of those packs, so it doesn't matter. I was trying to figure out the pack trick for a pack that we won't be opening again, so that's a good start. We have an Extreme Force, blister pack, that's weird. Okay, what can we pull? Can we pull the Legendary? Heavy Metapholes, Electromite? Can we pull the Sar-Yuja, the Skull Dread? We will find out Parallel Port Armor. The Linker Bell, Tandangle, Tandangle, FHS Run. Call the Archvind, Tandangle. What, kinetic? Power of the Guardians, wow, this came out in this set. It's kinda weird. Next we have the Brothers Battles of Legend. I can't remember the name. Oh my goodness, I say Brothers every time now. It's Battles of Legend. Back in my day, it was Battles of Legend. This is crazy, like literally, okay, it's at the front. It was Battles of Legend for years. Now it's Brothers for one year, and I can't remember that it was Battles. Okay, Psychic Wave, Raw's Encyclical, Flower Guardian. Number F-Zero, Utopic, Future, Slot. If we pull like a 10K out of here, I'm gonna lose it. I'm literally gonna lose it. Now we have Rise of the Duelist. I really wanna pull something cool out of here, guys. I really want to, last time when we pulled like an Ultra or something was our best one. Did we pull a Secret? I don't think we did. Give us something amazing. Dogmatica, let's go. We have Ancient Warrior Saga, Edge of Scythe, Megalith of Full, Adurakoon Lamp, Spiral Reborn, look at that artwork, that's pretty cool. Melphie Finney, Fright for Repair. Artillery, Catapult Turtle, like the worst foil in the set, but it's a Catapult Turtle Retrain, so it's a win. Next we have a King's Court. We did pretty well with this set when we opened it up, but last time when we opened these like a couple days ago, we did not pull anything. So let's see if we can pull a Collector Rare, a God card, any of that stuff. Let's see if it's possible. It's a Collector Rare set, I'm gonna do two. We got a Cloud Castle. I shouldn't have done anything. All right, unexpected die, I was unexpected for sure. Okay, and Zoga, very cool. Back to the Rise of the Duelists. We have a few of these today, so hopefully we can actually get something good. What do we get? We got an Altillery Catapult Turtle last time. Now's the time to pull something epic. I think it was like this, there we go. Megalith, Full, you're full, Melphie Rabbit. Super Heavy Samurai, Scarecrow, Fryford Jar. Wait, that's a Jar card? Interesting, Dark Lord Nurgle, Thunderhand, Fury of Kariushin, Unauthorized Boot-Up Device. Artillery Catapult Turtle again, are you kidding me? The worst foil twice, okay. That's cool, I guess. All right, this is a weird opening. Let's go to Legendary Duelist. Can we pull the Ghost Rare? Winged, Dragon, overall. Appear to us in your ghostly form. Let's do this, we have Jynzo Lord. Jynzo himself, Juragedo. Guardian Slime, we got ourselves an Ultra. Very nice Guardian Slime. I don't think this one's too crazy, but it's an Ultra Rare, which is not guaranteed. Supers aren't even guaranteed in this set, so we're gonna take that every time. On to the next one, In the Blister. Can we top it off with a, what's it called? The Slime Guy, the other slime, the Egyptian God Slime or something? Mechlord, Emperor, Psychic Megacyber, Brain Control. Okay, that's not what we're looking for that time. Now let's open up a Photon Shockwave. Here we go, can we pull Ghost Rare? Galaxy Eyes, Photon, Dragon, let's go. I really wanna pull that. We're Ultra Rare, we're Secret Rare. Wait, no, is it Secret or Ultra? I think it's Ultra and then it's Ulti Ghost, right? I don't know, we'll find out. We've got a Fiery Fervor, Traffic Control, Sailing Ceremony, Ray Rider, Stingy Swordsman, Zen March, Wind Up Warrior, Damage Diet, Tyrant's Thrones and that's it. Okay, nothing that time, we've pulled a few things. I mean, they haven't been very good, but we've pulled some foils that are not guaranteed, so it's like we're doing okay, but if they were better cards, we'd be doing pretty well. All right, Rise of the Dualist, I believe in you. Give us something good as Secret Rare Infernoble Arms, Makina or a Savager? Infernoble Knight, Infernoble Knight, Dracoon, Frightfur, Fluffle, Dogmana Encounter, Nemesis Keystone, it's just a super, no! That's okay because we have more. Legendary Dualist, Rage of Raw. I'm ready to pull the Winged Dragon of Raw, Ghoster. I'm totally ready, I'm primed for it. Let's do this, we pulled Egyptian God, well no, we pulled Guardian Slime, now we pulled Egyptian God Slime, let's go. Let's do this, get the foil in the back, Psychic Shockwave, Mechlord Army, Ginzo Lord, Cyber Energy Shock. What's up with the repeats, Guardian Slime again? What in the world is going on? I have no idea, we pulled two of the Catapult Turtle and two Guardian Slime. This is quite strange, quite strange indeed. On to the next one, Jorgetto, Mechlord Army, Ampifier, Mechlord Deflection, and a Reboot, that's just a common, that's not even a super. All right, we've got another Rise of the Dualist. Please, give us something that's not the Catapult Turtle, that's a foil, come on.  So I'm calling that now, I'm calling it, okay? We have Junk Sleep, Red Podin, Formal Pout Guard Gardener, Heavily Dragon Circle, Fluffle Dolphin, Didi Ark, Galloping Gaia, try for repair, and Gaia the Magical Knight, okay? This is a cool card, and Dual Links is used a little bit, but not that great. I think that card might have actually come out in Dual Links first, which is kind of weird. We got a King's Court, let's go. Can we pull Collector Rare? Please, please, please, please, please, please, please. Okay, no card trick, remember that. Last time we ruined it, let's go with Pendulum Transfer, Pot of Awesome, Windup Arsenal, Zinmayo, turn them on, Infinite Cards, the warrior returning alive. Number 49, Fortune Tune. I pull that card like every time, it feels like. Okay, we still got a few blisters left. You gotta believe in the heart of the cards. Rides of the Duals, which has been pretty weird to us so far, let's see if we can change that up and make it insane. Junk Sleep, Dogmatica Punishment, Nice Card, Spiral Fusion, Melphipony, Dogmatica Encounter, Capricious Dark Lord, Melphi Playhouse, Linker Bell, Infernoble Knight, Ogear, Ogear? I don't know what that is. Now let's open a Burst of Destiny. Come on, this is the fourth one from the Walmart that I got. I don't think we pulled anything yesterday. Maybe we pulled, no, we pulled a Beach River card. So we have one Ultra. Let's see if we can get something awesome, hit a Secret Rare or something like that. That would be pretty insane. We have the Rushhold Borg, Sword Soul Blackout, Transsonic Bird, Danger, Disturbance, Sonic Tracker, Outstanding Dog, Mary. Not Marin, Mary. Tanola, Break the Destiny. Reptilian, All right, those turned out to be not too good. One more chance at the 10K Dragon. Can we do it? 10,000 Dragon, Utopia would also be fine. I would be okay with pulling that out of one blister or two, I guess, technically, that we've opened. Right here, no, how does this work? It's at the front, there we go. All right, number three, Dragon Buster Destruction Swordsman. Number two, Blackwing, Chris, The Crack of Dawn, and Numeron Calling, not a bad card. This was actually one of the more expensive cards when it first came out. It fell off quite a bit after a while, but not bad. Four more blisters. We have another Rise of the Dew of Us. We had several of these. I'm hoping we can get something good, but right now, not looking too good. Okay, one, two, three, four. We have Fright for Jar, Dogmatic Atheo, Doldja Darklord, Angel Warrior Saga, East by Southwinds, Unauthorized Boot Up, Darklord Uprising, Dogmatic Anexus, Infra Noble Knight, Magus, and a Selene Glare, the Luminous Lunar Dragon. Don't really remember this card, to be honest. So I'm guessing it's not too awesome, but it is an Ultra Rare. We will take that. On to Legendary Duelist, Rage of Ra, then we have a Photon Shockwave and one more Rise of the Duelist. Let's see if we can pull something insane. Two more packs, two more chances at Ghost Rare. Winged Dragon of Ra. Let's go. Can we do it? That was weird. Okay, Metal Reflex Slime, Megalord Fortress, Megalord Astro, Jinzo Lord, and Makira, the Destructor, a Rotted Version. Next pack. Nothing too crazy. Can we do it? Ghost Rare, Holding Arms, Megalord Emperor, Chaos Infinity, Megalord Astro, the Eradicator, and a Megalord Emperor, Yzel Synchro Absorption. That's not a mouthful at all. Two more packs. Let's end with Photon Shockwave. Let's do our final Rise of the Duelist. We'll pull three Ultra Rares out of here. Nothing insane, though. So let's see if we can get a Secret Rare. That would be pretty big. The Secret Rares mostly are pretty good in this set. Let's hopefully we can get one of those. We have Infernoble Arms, DD Evil, Surveyor Samurai, Melfi Arabit, Ploval Dolphin, DD Ark, Galloping Gaia, Fright for Repair, Ancient Warriors Oath, Double Dragon Lords, we've got a Link Card, okay. And the final Blister, Photon Shockwave, let's see if we can get that Ghost Rare.  Last time we did one of these, we ended with an amazing, super, not amazing, but we pulled a Super Rares out of the Duelist Genesis, which is not bad. It was a pretty okay one, so it's not too terrible. Let's see if we can do that here. Photon Shockwave, L-L-L-Lutionary, Br-Gate, Shark Stickers, Traffic Control, Salmon Retreat, Wind-Up Warrior, Fish Rain, Poneco, Baby Trigon, and Evo Miracle, It's a miss on the final Blister.

The GRACE follow-on satellites will launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. GRACE is a gravity mission. It's a mission that measures the gravity of the Earth. The thing that's really important about GRACE is it measures the change in the Earth's gravity from one month to the next and that tells you how mass moves around the Earth and the only thing that really moves around from one month to the next is water and so it can tell us things like changes in sea level rises. It can give us a complete map of the melting of ice in Greenland or Antarctica but it can also tell us how the groundwater changes in the Murray-Darling Basin for example from one month to the next. What GRACE does is it puts up two satellites which are 200 kilometers apart and they're basically following each other around in this orbit and when one of them passes over an area of higher mass concentration it speeds up and then slows down. The satellites are 200 kilometers apart and they move closer together and further apart by about the diameter of a red blood cell. If the groundwater level changes by only a few millimeters that's enough that the spacecraft 500 kilometers away can sense that motion and then we can use that to inform policy makers or farmers who are relying on irrigation about where things are headed and what we need to do to change. So this will be the first mission that shoots laser beams between spacecraft and makes what's called a coherent measurement. This is actually the same technology that the multi-billion dollar gravitational wave detector mission that will launch in a round decade will rely on and there are already plans to do missions not just around Earth but also around Mars and other planets to map the mass and the water in those planets. One of the things I loved about this project is it brought together people from all over it brought together scientists, engineers, physicists, people who studied geology and it brought them from the ANU from CSIRO and even private companies EOS space systems to bring all that expertise together and deliver something which is really world leading.


Let's start this. Why don't you guys turn to second Kings chapter three? You know what's amazing is that we have the privilege of worshiping King Jesus. We're able to come and freely worship him. We're able to gather as a church family and we're able to worship him. We're able to spend time alone with ourselves and individually worship him. And we have this amazing privilege that we are able to worship the Lord any place, any time. And you know, when we have the privilege and I hope we get used to worshiping our God because for eternity we will be before the throne of Jesus Christ and we will be worshiping him. So I hope you guys enjoy worship. Amen, Jack, God bless you. And this evening I wanna share a little bit of something about worship. And I've entitled this message, worship in warfare. Well, what do you mean? Usually warfare, we're to put on the armor of God, we're to get on the belt of truth, we're to get the sword of the spirit, we're to get the shield of the breastplate of righteousness and the shield of faith and we're to stand fast. And we're to go out there and say, Lord, I am ready for battle. But one of the things that we often miss is our worship for Jesus Christ because it's our worship of a lifestyle of worship that gets us through the battles. And I wanna share something with you this evening out of Second Kings, chapter three, as we see here how worship prepares the Israelites to go into battle. We have the biggest weapon that we can ever have in our Holy Spirit and in Jesus Christ. And when we live a lifestyle that reflects His love, we live a lifestyle that reflects a life sold out to Jesus Christ, we live a life that's in worship to Him. And this evening I wanna share as we look at Second Kings, chapter three, verses 20 to 27. Now, it's a little difficult because I'm picking this up right smack in the middle of chapter three. So I better do some explaining of where we're at. But I first wanted to read this and then I wanna give a recap of what's going on with the intention that weapon, that worship is a weapon. Now, let me ask you guys this.  But how many of us are going through battle? Even at this moment, me, I'm going through a battle. I'm going through a difficult time. I'm going through hard time. I haven't been fired yet, you guys. So far, I'm doing okay. But how do we respond in these difficult times? Let's take a look at Second Kings, chapter three, beginning with verse 20. And I promise you, I will catch us up to where we're at. In verse 20, it says, now it happened in the morning when the grain offering was offered that suddenly water came by the way of Edom and the land was filled with water. Verse 21, and when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, all who were able to bear arms and older were gathered and they stood at the border. Verse 22 says, then they rose up early in the morning and the sun was still shining and on the water and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood and they said, this is blood. The kings have surely struck swords and have killed one another. Now therefore Moab to the spoil. So when they came to the camp of Israel, Israel rose up and attacked the Moabites and fled before them and they entered in the land, killing the Moabites and they went in verse 25 and they destroyed the cities. So what's going on here? Well, earlier in chapter three, we see that actually all the way back to the beginning of Second Kings, the first verse that says in Second Kings chapter one, verse one, it says, now when Ahab died, the Moabites rebelled against Israel. What had happened is all this time since the time of King David, the Moabites had been under the government, under their serving as what's called a vassal, that they were paying tribute to the nation of Israel. They would give 100,000 lambs and 100,000 rams and the wool of them as a tribute tax to the nation of Israel. But as soon as Ahab dies and as soon as King Azahaya dies, which are part of the Northern Kingdom, right away Moab rebels. But what's interesting about this passage here is that when Azahaya took the throne as the King of the North, he did nothing against the rebellion of the Moabites. He just let it go. But then when he died in battle, his brother came to the throne and his name is Jo Ram. King of the North, he wants to start a coalition to go and put the Moabites back in check. So you wanna give up, given us tribute? No, no, no way.  The King of the Moabites, his name is Misha says, huh, no you're not. So what Jo Ram does is he comes in, I wanna show you a map to kinda give us a perspective here. Now you see in the blue is the kingdom of Israel. You see that it's split with a mauve color kingdom of Judah. The King of the North was the King of Israel. That was the capital of the North. Jo Ram, the King of Israel, comes down to Judah, picks up the King of Judah, the King of the South. His name is Jahashaphat. And he says, listen, we're related. My son is married to your daughter. So why don't we go and attack the Moabites? And Jahashaphat says, my people are your people and my horses are your horses, let's roll. So they come down and they now enter to the King of Kingdom of Edom and they get the kingdom, the King of Edom to join them in this attack. Well what happens is you see that body of water there, that is the Dead Sea. And what they wanna do is they wanna surprise the Moabites in attacking. So what they wanna do is they wanna come down through the South. When you read 2 Kings chapter three, you will see that the three Kings now come down through the South and they wanna go through the Kingdom of Edom and then what they wanna do is attack the Kingdom of the Moabites, right there in purple. And the reason why they've done this is because Ammon, the orange color, and the Moabites are friends. So if Jo Ram, the King of the North, would have came from the North, the Ammonites would have said, oh no, no, no. We're joined Moab and it would have turned out into this all out war. But what happens is they go through the South and that Kingdom of Edom, I don't know if you guys ever been to Southern Israel, it's not the Garden of Eden. It looks like you're going down to Mexicali. It looks like it's the way it's all dried in it and it's really hard, it's hard dirt and it's just nothing out there. And what happens is that they find themselves without water. So these three Kings get together and they gather all their military forces and they gather their animals and all the special forces that were included and they come down through the Kingdom of Edom and they find themselves stuck without water. And the Bible says in 2 Kings chapter three that they were going round about. They had no guidance. They had no provisions. They had no way to tell where to go. Proverbs 14-12 says there's a way that seems right to a man but in its end is death. See friends, when we venture out into the work of the Lord and we never seek His guidance, we never seek His provisions, we never seek guidance from our Savior Jesus Christ, we will find ourselves in the wilderness lost. And now these three Kings are out there with no water and they're dying and they are saying, the King of the North, Joram says, the Lord has brought us out here that we may die.  He's now blaming the Lord saying, Lord, it's your fault for bringing us three Kings out here so that we can die. I start thinking about in my life how many times I've done the same thing. Lord, I wanna do this, but I never inquire of the Lord. Instead, I lean on my own understanding and I go out and do this venture and I find myself in a roundabout, in a spiritual wilderness, dying of thirst, hungry and nothing to provide. It's because I didn't seek the counsel of the Lord. I don't know if you guys have ever been in that situation where now you begin to blame God. God, it's your fault. You're the one that brought me out here. The Lord says, I was never even inquired of. And now these three Kings find themselves out here and they're blaming God. And Jehoshaphat, the King of Judah, finally says, is there not a man of God out here? And one of the servants of the King of the North says, yes, there's a man named Elijah. He's a man of God. He has poured water over the hands of Elijah. He's a man of God, set apart for God's work. And now they get to this place and Elijah comes to them and the three Kings come to Elijah and Elijah won't even look at the King of the North. He says to Jehoshaphat, he says to the King of the North, if it wasn't for Jehoshaphat, I won't even look at you nor would I even see you. And I started thinking about that. Joram represents wickedness. He represents the flesh. He represents sin. His father Ahab was one of the most wicked Kings of the entire Northern Kings of Israel. And this man of God comes up and he says, if it wasn't for Jehoshaphat, the King of Judah, I won't even look at you nor would I even see you. And I started thinking about that. We must have that same attitude when it comes to sin, when it comes to the flesh. We're not to recognize it, we're not to entertain it, we're to shun it. And the Elisha's picture of that to me spoke to me and saying I don't need anything to compromise my walk with the Lord. It's already hard enough. And Elisha says something interesting when you look at verse 15 of chapter three. And this is where I wanna start developing this theme of worship as a weapon. Because we see in verse thing, the first thing that Elisha asked is he didn't ask for anointing oil. He didn't ask for a prayer chain. He didn't call his best friend. He worshiped. He worshiped the Lord. It says here in verse 15, now bring me a musician and then it happened when the music musician played that the hand of the Lord came upon him. Friends, if we're ever gonna do a work for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we must have a lifestyle and an attitude of worship. And it says here that the hand of God came upon him and he tells these three kings, now the word of the Lord comes. What's interesting about this is that we see worship of the Lord, the Lord speaking and action being taken. And that's how it usually works. When our lifestyles are an obedience to the Lord, our life is a reflection of worship to the Lord. And as we continue to worship the Lord and we continue to seek his face, the word of God will come and then dwell within us and now we're able to go out and do the work of the Lord. But sometimes we have that backwards. Lord, I wanna live my own way, but I still wanna do your work and I wanna worship you, but you need to do for me first before I put my faith and trust in you and hear from your word. And a lot of times we have that backwards and what happens is then we find ourselves in the wilderness and the Bible says that these three kings and everybody were in a roundabout. They had no guidance. I was, I gave this message on our Tuesday morning a few weeks ago. I don't know if you guys ever been to TJ. Anybody been to Tijuana? If you ever get stuck in one of those roundabouts and traffic, you'll still be there to this day. They drive like they're from TJ, right? You go down there and we've been down there to go to Insanada and we get stuck in those roundabouts and you can't get out of it. And that's what I thought about when they said they were walking roundabout in the country of Edom. But worship, Elijah begins to do individual worship and the hand of the Lord came upon him. If we're gonna be used by a Lord and Savior, if Jesus is gonna use you, we must have a heart of worship. And when we have a heart of worship, the word of God is able to come within us and move in us and it's stirred up and we're able to do a work of the Lord. And he tells the three kings, look in verse 17, you will not see rain, you will not see any wind, but yet this valley will be full of ditches. So dig, wait, wait, wait, did I hear that right? Wait, you want us to dig? We've been out here seven days without water and now you want us to dig? We didn't even bring any shovels. We came out here to fight. We came out here to do battle.  You want me to dig ditches? In verse 16 he says, thus says the Lord, make this valley full of ditches. But Lord, I didn't come out here to dig. I came out here to fight. I came out here to bring victory. I came out here to do this. I came out here to do that. And he says, no, dig. Have we ever had a request like that from the Lord before when we think that Lord, I want to do this work for you? Yes, then why don't you dig your ditches and allow me to work so I can provide provisions for you? But you're not going to see it in the regular way. You're not going to see the rain cloud. You're not going to see the wind. You're not going to see any of this, but I'm going to provide for you. Do you trust me? Me, if that was me, I would say, Lord, you know, show me a sign first. Why don't you show me first that you'll provide water and that all the people will have something to drink and that all my military people would have refreshment. Show me that, then I'll dig. God says, no, the word of God says dig. You know, when we dig ditches in our life, we're anticipating the hand of God to move and bring provisions. And he tells him in verse 16 that you are to make this valley. Now, I don't know if you guys ever been to a valley. A valley is big.  It was no easy task. And he tells them to go out there and he tells them to begin to dig.  You know what we're going to do? We're thirsty, we're exhausted, we're hungry, we're tired, but I want you to dig ditches. You guys would stone me. What are you talking about? I see Gary Yamamoto back there. He'd come up and, you want us to do what? You wanted me to dig a ditch out here in the middle of nowhere when we have no water. There's no even a sign of rain and you want me to do what, Lord? But when we're in worship to God, we hear from the word and we act in faith. And so the Lord speaking through Elijah, he tells him to dig. And not only will I provide water for you, but I will also deliver the Moabites into your hands. See my friends, when we have a life that reflects worship to our King Jesus and we're in his word and things may not be going as we plan as they go in and we may be in a difficult place where we find ourselves in the wilderness. The word instructs them to dig. It doesn't make sense, but Lord, I'm going to trust in you anyways. I don't have the tools to dig. I'm hot, I'm thirsty, I'm exhausted. I have no way to do this, Lord, but I'm going to trust in you. That only comes from a heart of worship. And in verses 17 and 18, we see that the word of God comes to Elijah and says, you will not see rain. You won't even see wind.  I'm going to do something in your life that is so big that not only am I going to provide water for you, but I'm going to go beyond and provide a victory over the Moabites for you. Isn't that amazing when we have a life that's worshiping the Lord, that God provides for us, that his provisions are always in abundance, but it may not look the way it will look. It may look different, but he says, you know what, I want you to dig your ditch because not only am I going to come and provide for you, but I'm going to give you victory. What about those who may be struggling with addiction? Dig your ditch. What about those who are struggling with pornography? Dig your ditch. What about those who are struggling in their marriages or financially? Dig your ditch and worship the Lord and live a life that reflects God's word and he will make the provisions for you. And in verse 19, he says, then you shall attack. God's not only going to provide water for their cattle, for their people, but he's also going to give them victory over the Moabites because we had a man of God worship the Lord. Now in verse 20, we see a transition here. It says, now it happened. Well, what's it? God's promise. God's promise that if you dig these ditches, I will provide the water for you. And it says in verse 20, now it happened in the morning when the grain offering was offered that suddenly water came by the way of Edom and the land was filled with water. Let me say that again.  Was it a semi-filling? Was it just a quarter of a filling? No, the words of Jesus are always faithful and true. And we can put our trust and hope into him even when it doesn't look good. See, the word of the Lord came true. And we know that the word of the Lord is always faithful and true. And we know that the Lord says that he will always do. And this is confirmed by how this verse began. Now it happened before the word of the Lord that instructed these three kings through Elisha, there was worship. And now we'll see here another act of worship in verse 20 when it says that a grain offering was being offered. Now a grain offering is a type of sacrifice described in the Old Testament, specifically in Leviticus chapter two that the Israelites were to offer to God. It was an act of worship to the Lord. It would be an offering that is with wheat or barley depending on what is available, but it was an offering that was offered to the Lord. While other sacrifices had very specific instructions from God and how they were to be offered, the grain offering was a little different because it had some flexibilities based on what was available. A grain offering could be given to God either uncooked or cooked in an oven or in a pan. You can see that in Leviticus chapter two verses four through five. But the requirements were the grain offering where it had to be grounded. It had to add oil to it and it had to have salt. Those were the only requirements of the grain offering. But when a person brought the grain offering to the priest, a small portion was given to the priest and the rest was offered to God. The grain offering is often described as a most holy part of the food offering presented to the Lord. The purpose of the grain offering was to worship God and acknowledge his provision. See the act of faith it took for them? They had to present an offering to the Lord, thanking him for his provision and for what he's going to do. It was to be given out of a person's free will, just as our worship today is a free will offering to the Lord. What's interesting to note that during the time of the Israelites, 40 years in the wilderness wandering, grain would have been quite scarce. This made grain offerings more costly and precious for the people to offer to God. Given a grain offering in those circumstances, represented that the Israelites had complete dependence on God to provide for their daily needs. If the grain offering is similar to our offering of worship, this is something to consider my friends. How much does your worship to the Lord cost you today? Does it cost you 15 minutes on Sunday morning and 15 minutes on Wednesday night and we expect to go out and live a victorious life? This specific offering was to be made on the promise of the provision of the water that the Lord provided in verse 17. This provision that the Lord is making with water and the provisions to defeat the Moabites, but we first see that there was an act of worship through Elisha and there was an act of worship by the people. We notice in verse 20 that when this grain offering was offered, it was then that the water came by the way of Edom to provide water. And as mentioned early in verse 15, we seen something similar in regarding the musical instrument that was brought and played and the hand of the Lord and the word of God came upon Elisha, which is a representation of what individual worship looks like. See, when we worship the Lord individually, we're to go into a place where our praises and adoration go out to him and we're to get into his word and be led by his Holy Spirit. And then we see the grain offering that is made by the people to the priest and the provision of water from the Lord was given and this is an example of corporate worship. Woven into our passage here, my friends, is the importance of worship, the importance of individual worship and the importance of corporate worship. But do we truly understand what worship is? Because if we're gonna use worship as part of our warfare, we must understand how worship works. We know that worship comes from the name worthiness of him. We are to worship the Lord. One of the things I believe that has been forgotten when it comes to worship, that is it is a very powerful weapon in our fight, in our spiritual battle. Very powerful, but do we understand worship? Many of us don't think that worship is a weapon that we can use when we're battling against the wiles of the enemy. A lot of times we think that worship is the music that sets the mood for a church service or we think of it as something that we place softly in the background as long as the song is catchy, right? I mean, I hear people say, you know what, I don't like that worship song or you know what, that worship song isn't catchy enough. But when did worship begin? What does worship have anything to do with us? Worship has everything to do with Jesus Christ. I think as parents, we often think that worship is an alternative to play in the car so our kids aren't listening to songs that are glorifying hookups and drugs. But in fact, we are wielding and holding on to a very dangerous weapon when we worship God. It's not just a peaceful setting in a coffee shop-like atmosphere in our church lobby. And for the sake of time, as worship encapsulates a lot of different things, but for the sake of time and for this study, I like to focus on worship on a couple of ways. See, we discuss when we think about battle, we think of the armor of God. We think the breastplate of righteousness, as I mentioned earlier, the shield of faith, the sword of the spirit, the only offensive weapon that we have, right? The belt of truth, the helmet of salvation. We think of these when we go into battle. And we see that Paul uses metaphors of armor, but he caps his discussion with four words, that reference prayer. In Ephesians chapter six, verse 18, it says, at the end of the list of the metaphors that he gives us to fight in a spiritual battle, he gives us worship. Because he says here in Ephesians chapter six, verse 18, praying with all prayer and supplication in the spirit, being watchful to this end, with all perseverance and supplication for all of the saints. Prayer, it urges us to be persistent. It urges us to be persevering in the spirit, seeking our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and we can use it as a critical weapon in our arsenal to fight against the spiritual forces that are coming against us every single day. But less familiar is the role of worship, especially corporate worship in spiritual warfare. Often here, I don't need to go to church. I don't need to go to church. My temple is the, my body is the temple of God. Wherever I go, I'm chadving church. But the Bible tells us not to take the assembling of the brethren, right? And we see here, even in corporate worship here this evening, that is a powerful weapon to fight against discouragement, to fight about worryness, to fight against all these things that are constantly pressing against our hearts and our minds. And oftentimes we think that worship is just something we do on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. And we don't understand that worship is a powerful weapon in our arsenal, in our fight against the enemy. Because when we come together in worship and Jesus Christ is glorified and he's the center of our worship, what happens is that this unity begins to take place. And as this unity begins to take place, there's encouragement and there is this excitement that begins to happen. And we begin to start singing, I raise a hallelujah. How do we raise a hallelujah in the presence of my enemies? The importance of individual worship and corporate worship. When we love, we're worshiping. When we are in God's word, we're worshiping. When we give our finances and our time and service, we are worshiping. It is a powerful tool in our warfare because it aligns our hearts and our minds with the Holy Spirit. Worship refocuses our perspective. Psalm 22.3 says, but you are holy enthroned in the praises of Israel. It reminds us of God's promises. When we worship, we're reminded of God's promise. I raise a hallelujah in the presence of my enemies, louder than the unbelief. My weapon is a melody. Heaven comes to fight for me. Worship and worship releases God's power. Look what it says in verse 21 here. And when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, all who were able to bear arms and older were gathered and they stood at the border. Then they rose up early in the morning and the sun was shining on the water and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood.  Now therefore Moab, go to the spoil. So when they came to the camp of Israel, Israel rose up and attacked the Moabites and they fled before them and they entered their land killing the Moabites. God's power was released. Do we see the importance of worship? Worship is not something that we just do. It's how we live. Worship is a lifestyle. Worship is always keeping Jesus front and center in our lives. It's keeping him front and center when we're at work, worshiping him. It's keeping him front and center in my marriage. I mean, I'm hoping my wife was more listening to that part than I am. You guys, that was a joke. You're not laughing, huh? Worship, Jesus, worshiping Jesus is a lifestyle. It's not something we do. It's the way we live. It's the way we glorify our Lord. First Chronicles chapter 16 verses eight through 11 says it really nicely. Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name, make known among the nations what he has done. Sing to him, sing praises to him, tell of all his wonderful acts, glory in his holy name. Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice, look to the Lord and his strength, seek his face always. That's the lifestyle of worship. So how are we doing in this area? Does our life reflect worship to the Lord? Or is it something that we do for a few moments on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings? Because if we are not worshiping the Lord and not living a lifestyle that reflects Jesus Christ, then how can we ever be victorious in our battles? How are you fighting your battles this evening? Do you raise a hallelujah? Or are your knees praying? Or are you worshiping the Lord? It's hard to do that when we're upset. It's hard to do that when we're going through difficult times. It's hard to do that when we're in the wilderness, but when we do so, we're bringing glory and honor to his name and he will make provisions for us. We dig our ditches. The priests in Jerusalem were offering, the drain offering early in the morning and when they offered that water came flooding in from the way of Edom, God's provision, God's love and his spirit will flood into our lives. That will give us the strength that when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, that we will fear no evil. Why? Because your rod and your staff, they comfort me. See, oftentimes in that valley of the shadow of death, Lord, where are you? I don't see you, Lord. I don't feel you, Lord. I don't even know that you're there, Lord. And Jesus is saying, I see you and my eye is on you. As an eye, my eye is on the sparrow. And oftentimes we're thinking, but Lord, where are you, Lord? I don't see you. Trust me because I see you. And when this water came flooding in, the worship that happened and this water that came in, it filled the trenches and it formed pools on the earth and the soldiers and the cattle and the animals were able to drink until they were full. And in verse 21, we see, but the Moabites, they assembled an army at the border. They knew nothing about the rain. God, it was amazing that God provided this miracle through this act of worship, these acts of worship, that the sun reflected on this water. Edom is known as red. And between the reflection of the sun and the pools and the ground that was red to the Moabites, it looked like blood and they said, you know what? They killed each other. Let's go after them. We're gonna get them. They've been delivered in our hands and they go and the Israelites destroyed them, confident in their safety and their opportunity for wealth. The Moabites attacked the camp of the three kings and were suddenly defeated and chased away. And when we look at verses 20 to 25, when the morning comes, everything unfolds as Elisha predicted, water flowed into the dry land. The Moabites made a mistake of the sun's glow as water for blood and they presumed that this coalition has fought against each other and they attacked and Israel sadly defeats them. And Elisha proves to be an accurate prophet of the Lord. And the kings now know who he is and what extent the Lord will use him, worshiping the Lord. We have this amazing privilege every day of our lives that we can worship the Lord through our lives. And when we worship the Lord through our lives, as I mentioned, Jesus is glorified. Did you know friends that you may be the only Jesus people see? And if you're one of these Eors and you call yourself a Christian, what kind of worship is that? Oh Lord, but when we walk in confidence knowing that my Lord and savior is ordaining my footsteps and that I'm going through this with him, why ask what we worship the Lord? Why not worship the Lord? Think about all the great things he's done in your life. He has a track record that is undefeated. It's unparalleled. He has been victorious in our lives. Why would we not worship him? Well, you know, they looked at me wrong and so, really? But what about all the great things that Jesus has done in your life? But you know, we start making these excuses. What's interesting in here in verse 25, it says that they destroyed the cities and each man threw stones on every good piece of land and they filled it and they stopped it all with springs of water cut down all the good trees but they left the stones of karash, kyr, haraseth intact. However, the slinger surrounded and attacked it. They were saying this land that represents the enemy, this land, throw rocks on it, destroy it so it will never be able to produce anything again. See, friends, when we're in an attitude of worship, when our lives are aligned with the word of God and we have Jesus Christ the center of our lives, we will want nothing to do with the enemy. We will want nothing to do with our flesh. We will want nothing to do with sin and in verse 25 here, Elisha instructs them, throw rocks on the slan, throw rocks on it because we want nothing of it to ever come back again and that's the approach we should take when it comes to sin, when it comes to the flesh and when it comes to the world. We're to destroy it, but that only comes through worship. When we live a lifestyle that is worshiping and honoring the Lord, sadly to say, in this passage, we see another type of worship. Look what it says in verse 26, when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him 700 men who drew swords to break through the king of Edom but they could not. Then he took his eldest son who would have reigned in his place and he offered him as a burnt sacrifice offering upon the wall and there was a great igniting nation against Israel so they departed from him and returned to their own land. We see another act of worship here. Despite this success of this victory of Israel, it proves to be temporary because we see this horrendous act take place here. The battle could not have gone much worse for Misha than it did and his defeat was in total. Misha's enemies came and they scorched to earth, destroying every field and every fountain in Moab and when crisis came, Misha had two ways in dealing with it. Neither one of them involved prayer to God. First he tried handling things on his own. It tells us in verse 26 that he picked up 700 men who drew their swords and they tried to run and break through the barriers of Edom which is how most people deal with their problems. I'll do it on my own. And then he does the most horrendous act that we see here. 700 men weren't enough and it didn't break through so it didn't work so he did one more thing. He takes his oldest son and he nails him to a wall and lights him on fire. And Israel sees this and great hatred was for Israel because of this and the battle was even finished because it said that all of them left and returned to their own land. Imagine the sounds and scream of this child being nailed to a wall and lit on fire. The scream of the child himself and it was so horrendous that the nation of Israel who were there to fight the three kings were so disgusted by this horrendous act that they went away to their own land and this king of Moab, Misha, now takes problems into his own hands and this is the trouble when we try to solve our problems on our own understanding is that we begin to sacrifice the very ones around us that God has entrusted us to care for. We end up sacrificing in pursuit of things in the ancient texts called Misha's inscription the Moabites of Tribute, all their disasters because their God was angry at them. Their God his name is Kimash. And they thought because the Israelites are destroying us he must be mad, so you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna offer the next heir to the kingdom. And he now gets his son because he thought that a human sacrifice would appease his God. But what he was really doing is that he was handing his son over to Satan. Kings sometimes did that in ancient times but it was still a shock for the king's son to be burning to death on the city wall. Imagine the sounds and the screams of this young man burning on this wall as they are offering a sacrifice to their God, Kimash. And in their rage and in their frenzy Misha's soldiers finally succeeded in driving the enemies away but in the process they lost the heir to their kingdom. This true story is so barbaric that it may be tempting to think that what does that have to do with us today? I'm glad you guys asked. Who would ever wanna sacrifice their child to the devil? Yet anyone who ever kills or wounds a child is making this exact sacrifice. Consider the woman who sacrificed her bodies of their unborn children so that they can keep their scholarships, their jobs, their boyfriends. Consider parents who angrily beat their children to stop them from misbehaving. Or consider the men who sacrificed their souls of their sons and daughters on the altar of prestige, on the altar of career, on the altar of finances and what's the difference? There's still a sacrifice in our children for many things. Even if we never commit infanticide according to God's law we still may be guilty of murder. Oftentimes we have given up our children to the God of soccer on Sundays. Oftentimes we've given up our children to the God of sports and athletics on Sundays. Oftentimes we've given up our children for careers. Oftentimes we've given up our children and even our wives for the sake of pursuit of worldly things. So what's really the difference?  And it's sad because there can be a little bit of Misha in all of us.  I mean, Lord, convict me of that every day because I think I go through that every day. But the crazy thing is that when crisis came Misha turned to himself and his son over to the devil. A lifestyle of worship the Lord and God provides or a lifestyle of worship to the world and there's loss. Who are we worshiping this morning or this evening? What are you worshiping this evening as your lifestyle reflect the worship of our true Lord or have our pursuits been shifted and refocused to the things of the world? Because if we are doing that style of worship it's just a matter of time until we have sacrificed our children. By contrast, a man named Howard Hendricks tells a story of an Ethiopian man who did the exact opposite. This man's name was Wanderow. And when crisis came he turned himself and his son over to the Lord and hear how this man Howard Hendricks describes the story and I want to close with this. Wanderow was a 20 year old was 20 years old when missionaries arrived in his village. They had a book that told about a creator and said that people should worship him and not Satan as Wanderow and his people did. Within a few weeks of hearing this message Wanderow publicly announced I renounce Satan and I followed Jesus. He was baptized and immediately he asked to be taught to read so that he could learn more from this book that the missionaries were teaching from. And it was clear from the outset that Wanderow's love for the Savior had become a driving force in his life. When his infant son was dying of a fever the witch doctor implored him to make sacrifices to demons but Wanderow refused. I love my baby boy but I will not sacrifice to the demons. I will not sacrifice him to the demons again. And the boy died and the villagers went into their customary rituals of mourning. But as they were wailing and cutting themselves in a demonic fury Wanderow rushed among them and saying stop I miss my child but God has given me a peace in the face of death. I believe that my child is safe in the arms of Jesus. And when the moment of crisis came Wanderow turned to the living God and found a peace that triumphs over death. A life that worships the Lord. When your moments of crisis come my friends whether large or small whether great or big where will you turn to for help? You see the contrast of worship? A lifestyle that is worshiping our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. A lifestyle of worshiping things for the world. One worship will honor the Lord. The other worship will cost us our family. Who are you worshiping? Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins. We've been set free. Why wouldn't we worship? Why wouldn't we sing our praises and glory to Him? Why wouldn't we live a lifestyle that reflects Jesus Christ as resurrected and living in our lives? Why wouldn't we? Because we were once blind but now we see. Why would we not have a lifestyle that worships Jesus but so many times we think that we can turn here and worship this way and add a little bit of worship from here and now we have this vessel of God that is contaminated and cannot be filled by this Holy Spirit. So who are you worshiping? What does your lifestyle reflect in worship? May our lives always be a life song that sings to the Lord. Does our life reflect the gratitude and worship for what Jesus has done for us and when we face difficult times or that we are in a fierce battle, we can trust and have faith in the Lord and we're to worship Him with our heart, with our lives, with everything we have and He will provide the provisions we need in our lives. Friends, we need to dig our ditches and we need to make sure that the vessels of our lives that is for the Holy Spirit to be poured in is emptied of ourselves, it's emptied of the world, it's empty of contamination that allows the spirit of God to fill in that we may be used and that God will be able to provide provisions for. You may be the only Jesus Christ that people see. How are you representing Him? Are you representing Him of a lifestyle of worship to Him? Or are you living a lifestyle of worshiping just like Misha? Let's pray. Father, we pray.


And every time he does this, there's a great opportunity to make an interesting point about Rand. Now again, as I said in the beginning, it's not Malice's job. He's not here to defend David Rand. He's here to defend Anarchy and defend his book in communism. I get it. I'm not criticizing, in that sense, I'm not criticizing Malice. It's just, ugh, it's unfortunate. It's just unfortunate he's not talking. Jordan Peterson is not talking to an objectivist and asking these exact questions to an objectivist. Andrew says, you're on these only suppos to serious objectivists. Yes, I agree. But it's too bad he's not talking to a serious objectivist. That would be cool.


Welcome back, in the previous segment, we discussed the following things. We discussed the repeat statement and the C and C out statements and some commands to compute mathematical functions. Actually we also discussed the statement by which we can reserve locations or cells in memory. Now in this segment I am going to make some general remarks about C++ programs. First of all let me observe that a program is really a sequence of statements or commands and it has to be written in a particular manner. So the keyword main underscore program must appear first, followed by an open brace. After that the sequence of statements representing the main program have to be put in and finally the closing brace has to be put in. A statement or a command is typically terminated by a semicolon. So the semicolon is the C++ equivalent of the full stop of the English language. Just as in the English language a sentence ends with a full stop. In C++ a statement or a command ends with a semicolon. And just as you read sentences top to bottom left to right on a page written in the English language, similarly C++ programs are also executed by reading the statements top to bottom and left to right. Now some of the statements require additional data for them to do their work. So for example if I write forward I need to tell the computer how much I want to move forward. So such data is called an argument. The right needs to be told how much angle. So this is another argument. There can be commands which require more than one argument and we will see them soon. And there can be commands which do not require any argument at all. So turtle sim for example did not require any argument. And so in that case we just put that opening and closing parenthesis immediately. Even in the discussion about languages or especially programming languages the term syntax is used. Syntax, the term syntax is used to refer to the form or the grammar which the language is supposed to follow. So syntax refers to the grammatical rules indicating how commands must be written. And the syntax of programming languages is very strict. What do I mean by that? Write 90 cannot be written in any other form. For example you cannot write it as write space 90 that is not allowed. The parenthesis are necessary. However, you could put a space before and after the parenthesis that is allowed. However, you cannot split the word write. So you cannot write R space IGHD that is not allowed. You cannot even capitalise the R. So it is strict in a certain sense and you have to understand in what sense the language is strict and you have to adhere to it very, very precise. So pen up for example cannot be written as pen lowercase up. So the U is expected to be capitalised. Usually the parenthesis are needed so you cannot just leave out the parenthesis. There are other statements also which we will learn and they will also have their syntax and the programs will have to be written strictly in that syntax. You might say that look what is the big difference between pen lowercase up and pen uppercase up. Isn't it common sense? Well it may be common sense to you and me but a computer requires you to be exact. So a computer will think of pen capital up as something different from pen lowercase up.  However, in spite of all this there is a lot of flexibility allowed. So for example I already said that you can put spaces which do not split a word or split a number so you can put a space before or after the parenthesis. In addition there are some other natural features as well. So wherever we say that look put a number over here usually you will allow a numerical expression also. So for example in a repeat or in a write rather in the write we can put an expression such as 360 divided by n sides or it could be n if n is the name of a variable. So wherever a number is going to appear you can put in the name of a cell in memory or you can put in an expression which depends on some values. So that kind of flexibility is there. And also there is another flexibility which is that we talked about a repeat statement which has a body and we said that the body consists of several statements. One of those statements could be a repeat statement itself. We will come to the example of a repeat inside a repeat but let me make few additional remarks. So first of all I am going to tell you about something called comments. Now a program is going to be executed on the computer but it will also be read by people. So you might write a program and your teacher might read it. If you are working your boss or your colleagues might read the program you have written or you might write a program and it might be so good that you may give it to several other people all of whom might read that program. Now if you write a program it has to be understandable. So you might want to say something more in addition to the statements on it. So for this purpose you can place something called comments in your program. How do you place comments? Well you can put comments between a slash star sequence of characters and a star slash sequence of characters. So whatever appears between these two sequences will be thought of as a comment. Typically I can put slash slash and then I can put a comment after it and the comment ends when the line ends. So typically the first form is used to define a long comment which extends over several lines. The second form is used to define a short comment which is really put which really extends over a single line or which is really put at the end of a line. Now a comment is really meant only for the human readers and the computer completely ignores. The computer does not care what you put in a comment. So we had our program for drawing that polygon. So I have put two comments in this. So first at the top I have put a comment which tells who the author of that program is and it tells the purpose of that program. So this is usually good practice. So you should put your name on programs so that if somebody has questions they can come and talk to you and also you might as well tell them what is that program going to do. And then over here we did something like dividing 360 by n sides. A reader might look at this and say look why are they dividing 360 by n sides. Now if you want to help out those readers you can say that the exterior angle of an n sided polygon is 360 by n. I want to draw an n sided polygon and therefore I will turn by the angle 360 divided by n or in this case n sides. So that is how comments help. They do not help the computer but they help human readers and you are extremely, extremely emphatically encouraged to write comments. For one thing you will help your friends and boss and your teacher but you will realize that you write a program today in a week or so you will completely forget what you have written. Maybe you will look at this program and ask yourself oh why did I write 360 upon n sides. To help yourself at least put in a comment. You will be really, really grateful and this is a required good practice if you become a professional programmer. Another important practice and another part of how you write programs is so called indentation. So here is the same program and I am going to tell you what indentation is inside it. So notice that at the beginning of some lines some space is inserted. So for example before this turtle seems some space is there. In the body of the repeat there is a space which offsets it from the repeat statement itself. So this space is called indentation. The indentation allows you to quickly see which statements constitute the body of the repeat or which statements are part of the main program. So for example this includes simple CPP is not a part of the main program. Whereas all these statements are. So by offsetting I can visually quickly note that look this is the main program over here or I can visually quickly note that oh this is not only in the main program but it is also in a repeat statement inside the main program. So you may guess the general rule if some x is inside some y then typically you will put two additional spaces before every line of x. So that is what has happened over here for the body of the repeat which is sort of supposed to be inside the repeat statement and these are the statements inside the main program. So you have put two spaces over here. Then there is also a style that you have to master as to how you write the opening brace and the closing brace. So you can see that the closing brace goes back, reverts back to the old indentation. So again it is considered extremely unfriendly if you do not use indentation and again for your own benefit you should use indentation because when you come back to the program it will make it much easier for you to understand what you yourself have written. And of course indentation is useful for human readers but is ignored during execution. Now we said that the body of a repeat itself can contain a repeat statement. So here is an example. So we have a repeat 4 and inside that there is a repeat 3 and a write 90 statement. So how does this execute? Well the first rule is that whatever is inside this outer repeat is going to be executed 4 times. So what is inside this outer repeat? Well there is a repeat 3 and a write 90.  Do this 4 times. That is what the rule is. There is no real mystery as such. So let us try to figure out what this is doing. So let us just look at one iteration of this repeat. What is it doing? So it is going to go forward 10 steps. So let me draw that and to begin with let us assume that the pen is down. So here is the turtle, it goes forward 10 pixels. At this point the pen goes up. Once the pen goes up the turtle goes again forward 10 steps. But it goes forward and this time the pen is not down so there is no line drawn. But at this point the pen is put down again. So this finishes one iteration. What happens in the second iteration? Again a forward line is drawn, again a movement is there without any line being drawn. And one more iteration, a line is drawn and there is a movement again. So this finishes one iteration of that repeat 3 statement. After that we continue forward and now there is a write 90. So the write 90 will cause, so earlier the turtle was pointing in this direction. So write 90 will cause it to point in this direction. So that ends an iteration of the outer repeat. So again we start from the very beginning. So we go back to the top of the repeat 4 and we start executing. So now we are executing the second iteration. So for the second iteration again the repeat 3 is going to be executed. So this will again cause forward 10 and then pen up and forward but this time the pen is high so that nothing will be drawn. So that is just one iteration of the inner repeat. So one more iteration movement, one more iteration which consists of this movement and again we come to the bottom of the repeat 4 this time at the end of the second iteration. So at this point the turtle was pointing in the downward direction. It now turns right and points in this direction. So now one more iteration will cause again this movement forward. So drawing but forward without movement and drawing forward without movement. Movement and drawing forward without movement and again will turn right. So the turtle will start pointing in this direction. So again it will execute forward and draw, forward without draw, forward and draw, forward without draw, forward and draw, forward without draw. So the turtle will end up at the same place. After that it will again turn right so it will end up facing in this direction. So the turtle will start facing right over here. It will draw these dashed lines, draw these dashed lines, turn, draw these dashed lines, turn, draw these dashed lines and again turn and come back to the same position and have the same orientation. So notice that repeat within repeat is very, very useful. Imagine if I had wanted to draw a long line with lots of dashes. I just have to make that repeat 100 if I wanted 100 dashes. I do not have to write 100 statements. So again a quick summary of what I just said in that example. In general if I have a repeat x, y, y, y statement it means execute y, y, y, x times. Now if y, y, y itself contains repeat w, z, z, z then z, z, z is executed w times in each execution of y, y, y or in each execution or in each iteration of that outer repeat x, this repeat w, z, z, z is going to be executed. And in a single execution of repeat w, z, z, z, z, z is actually executed w times. Now I can have as many repeats going on inside each other or nested inside each other. So what is the logic there? Exactly similar. So as a quick exercise what do you think this program is going to do? So figure this out yourself and only then advance forward. So give yourself a few seconds. So I will not explain it but I will just show you the solution and so you can compare your answer with it. You can also type this program in and you can see exactly what it does. So the program will print this. So now I want to talk about some terms which you will hear commonly when you discuss programming. So you will hear people say that control is at statement w. This means that the computer is currently executing statement w or people talk about control flow. Control flow is how the control moves or the order in which statements get executed. So execution starts at the top and goes down and the execution is retraced if there is a repeat statement. So the control flows over and over the body of a repeat statement. The term variable is also used. A variable is simply the region of memory designated for storing some value that you need. So the insights that we define is actually going to be called a variable. So we said that we use a cell in memory but that cell is going to be called a variable because we have said we have asked for it and we said that we are going to store some specific kinds of values over there. Why is it called a variable? Well because we are allowed to change the value that we store over there. Exactly how this change happens we will see a little bit later. So here is what we discussed in this segment. We discussed the general notion of a program. We discussed the notions of syntax and terms which has control flow and then we made this observation that repeat statements can be nested inside other repeat statements. So we will take a quick break.
