But after his rambling 58-minute address was broadcast on Christian stations around the country, he reneged, saying he was still awaiting "further instructions from God." With Biblical scholars on hand to help them fathom Koresh's thinking, three negotiating teams headed by the FBI remained in periodic phone contact with him and other Davidians.
