Elizabeth Smart

There is definitely a cycle.

And I think she probably was so desperate for love.

She wanted to feel special.

She wanted to feel like she was important because I think she probably had never felt that in her life.

And so he is there telling her, you know, you are my queen.

And you've experienced all of these hardships because God was testing you and he has found you worthy.

You are going to be the mother of Zion.

And even though you've had a hysterectomy and you're 58, one day you will bear me a son who will be the future Davidic king.

You know, part of me is like, you were a mother.

Or maybe you just gave birth six times.

Maybe you don't understand what it is to be a mother because a mother would never harm a child.

Yeah.

How?

And it's mind-blowing to me that even another woman, because we've all been through puberty, you know, we've all been through that awkward, kind of miserable time in life.

Why would you exploit puberty?

A young girl probably at her most vulnerable.

Why would you sit aside and encourage her to be raped?

Yeah.

And watch it.

That's why I go back and forth is because sometimes I'm like, was she in such a bad place herself from her whole life's past experience that she just was so desperate for love, for the feelings of wanting to be special that she allowed this to happen?
