1
00:01:14,933 --> 00:01:17,383
And welcome back this week.

2
00:01:17,683 --> 00:01:21,166
Man, it has gone from being warm and comfortable and almost short

3
00:01:21,166 --> 00:01:24,166
 sleeves, and now it's cold again, and we're all in here in long

4
00:01:24,166 --> 00:01:27,516
 sleeves and sweatshirts and jackets and everything else.

5
00:01:27,583 --> 00:01:28,716
I don't I don't like it.

6
00:01:28,783 --> 00:01:31,950
But, uh, boy,

7
00:01:31,966 --> 00:01:33,633
 we had a good uh, good service last night.

8
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:36,099
We had our singing service.

9
00:01:36,166 --> 00:01:39,466
We do every 3rd Sunday here at Mountain View,

10
00:01:39,466 --> 00:01:41,083
 and man, that was that was nice last night.

11
00:01:41,150 --> 00:01:44,266
We did some old songs that I think we haven't pulled out in a while

12
00:01:44,266 --> 00:01:46,366
 and it was a good service.

13
00:01:46,433 --> 00:01:49,549
Do miss seeing a

14
00:01:49,549 --> 00:01:50,916
 lot of people come to services like that.

15
00:01:50,983 --> 00:01:54,033
But, um, you know, maybe maybe one day we'll get back up to having

16
00:01:54,049 --> 00:01:55,299
 some folks show up for stuff.

17
00:01:55,366 --> 00:01:58,416
How's your week going, brother Dennis?

18
00:01:58,483 --> 00:01:59,733
So far, so good, man.

19
00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:01,650
It was some beautiful snow today, wasn't it?

20
00:02:01,733 --> 00:02:03,099
just beautiful out there.

21
00:02:03,166 --> 00:02:04,716
Like a winter wonderland.

22
00:02:04,783 --> 00:02:07,416
I think I had a couple inches on the deck.

23
00:02:07,483 --> 00:02:10,599
Yeah, yeah, I've seen a lot of people had measured

24
00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:12,449
 had about 2 inches.

25
00:02:12,533 --> 00:02:16,183
Yeah, it was a bunch, man, just out of nowhere, but I'm

26
00:02:16,183 --> 00:02:17,849
 ready for 70s again, man.

27
00:02:17,933 --> 00:02:19,900
Yeah, I will be here in a couple of days.

28
00:02:19,966 --> 00:02:22,300
If you don't like the weather, just wait a couple of days.

29
00:02:22,366 --> 00:02:23,316
Yeah.

30
00:02:23,333 --> 00:02:24,233
Or a couple hours.

31
00:02:24,283 --> 00:02:25,116
Well, you know, it's funny.

32
00:02:25,183 --> 00:02:26,433
You say, you know, we had a few inches.

33
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:29,616
It was enough that my daughter was able to get out after school and build her a little tiny

34
00:02:29,633 --> 00:02:30,650
 snowman out in the yard.

35
00:02:30,699 --> 00:02:32,550
My dad took a picture of it and sent it to me.

36
00:02:32,633 --> 00:02:33,533
I was like, oh, that's cute.

37
00:02:33,583 --> 00:02:35,849
Just had to do it quick, man, because it melted off fast.

38
00:02:35,933 --> 00:02:36,583
Oh, yeah.

39
00:02:36,650 --> 00:02:37,416
Oh, yeah.

40
00:02:37,483 --> 00:02:39,283
How's your week going, brother Brian?

41
00:02:39,349 --> 00:02:40,000
Good so far.

42
00:02:40,066 --> 00:02:40,783
Good so far.

43
00:02:40,849 --> 00:02:44,316
Yeah, I took off this morning and had

44
00:02:44,333 --> 00:02:48,050
 to go to Altoona, Alabama for work and well,

45
00:02:48,050 --> 00:02:50,683
 I got there and it just started coming down hard.

46
00:02:50,750 --> 00:02:53,616
And before I left there, the ground was white.

47
00:02:53,683 --> 00:02:55,666
I was like, okay.

48
00:02:56,183 --> 00:02:57,349
got you.

49
00:02:57,683 --> 00:03:01,250
So I wasn't expecting it to get that much.

50
00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:03,816
And last night, we had tornadoes.

51
00:03:03,883 --> 00:03:06,933
So if you're not from Alabama, we're

52
00:03:06,949 --> 00:03:10,483
 joking and laughing about this, but last night, uh, it

53
00:03:10,483 --> 00:03:13,833
 was warm yesterday, uh, last night we had,

54
00:03:13,849 --> 00:03:17,266
 uh, like you got in the 70s one yesterday.

55
00:03:17,333 --> 00:03:20,566
And then and then last night,

56
00:03:20,566 --> 00:03:24,099
 tornadoes and rain, chances everywhere,

57
00:03:24,099 --> 00:03:25,116
 thunder and lightning.

58
00:03:25,183 --> 00:03:28,050
And by this morning, it was snowing.

59
00:03:28,133 --> 00:03:31,000
And didn't get out of the 30s today.

60
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,550
I think we got a freeze morning tonight.

61
00:03:32,633 --> 00:03:36,283
Yeah, yeah, going to be like 25 or 28, something like that.

62
00:03:36,349 --> 00:03:38,616
And then, and then, and no kidding.

63
00:03:38,683 --> 00:03:42,400
In just a couple of days, it's going to be back in the 70s.

64
00:03:42,683 --> 00:03:43,900
on the high, so.

65
00:03:44,033 --> 00:03:46,250
Welcome to Winter in the South, I tell you.

66
00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:51,150
I think I think these rapid

67
00:03:51,166 --> 00:03:54,166
 care places, I think they're they may they may be able

68
00:03:54,166 --> 00:03:55,183
 to pray more than we are.

69
00:03:55,250 --> 00:03:56,683
I think that's what they're doing, you know?

70
00:03:56,750 --> 00:04:00,099
Be cold, hot, cold, hot, everybody be sick coming in.

71
00:04:00,233 --> 00:04:01,599
You know, they're grumming up business.

72
00:04:01,666 --> 00:04:05,566
Well, I

73
00:04:05,566 --> 00:04:08,566
 tell you, you know, mom sent me a picture of the snow today, and she was

74
00:04:08,566 --> 00:04:11,083
 like, hey, it's snowing real hard here, and I was like, I'm looking outside.

75
00:04:11,150 --> 00:04:12,283
you know, I'm in Chattanooga.

76
00:04:12,349 --> 00:04:14,683
I look outside, I'm like, it's snowing a bit, doggone.

77
00:04:14,750 --> 00:04:15,699
That's just not any fun.

78
00:04:15,766 --> 00:04:17,733
And no sooner had I thought that.

79
00:04:17,866 --> 00:04:20,983
Then it looked like a blizzard suddenly blew up in the middle of

80
00:04:20,983 --> 00:04:24,583
 downtown Chattanooga and I went, I'm not going to make it home tonight.

81
00:04:24,649 --> 00:04:25,966
There it is

82
00:04:26,149 --> 00:04:29,800
I was a little bit concerned about it for a few minutes, but it finally

83
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,733
 slacked off and was a nice drive home.

84
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,033
I was grateful that there had been enough wind blowing

85
00:04:36,050 --> 00:04:38,983
 like you had said earlier day, we had talked about it and there was enough wind.

86
00:04:39,050 --> 00:04:41,266
It kind of dried the roads off.

87
00:04:41,333 --> 00:04:43,000
I did think it was funny.

88
00:04:43,066 --> 00:04:46,066
I told mom, so I, you know, of course, I woke up early this morning, turned on the news

89
00:04:46,066 --> 00:04:49,666
 because I wanted to see what does it look like in Alabama, of course, and I had to tune in Chattanooga station.

90
00:04:49,733 --> 00:04:50,933
What does it look like in Chattanooga?

91
00:04:51,183 --> 00:04:54,350
And both stations were talking about all the tree,

92
00:04:54,350 --> 00:04:58,416
 the limbs down, impossible trees in the road and all this stuff and really stressed.

93
00:04:58,483 --> 00:05:02,433
Man, it could be messy out there and you're going to have to be real careful.

94
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:04,600
Make sure you leave super early, give yourself plenty of time.

95
00:05:04,666 --> 00:05:07,783
And then right at the end, after they've given all this, you know, oh

96
00:05:07,783 --> 00:05:11,616
 man, there's just limbs and parts of trees just everywhere.

97
00:05:11,683 --> 00:05:14,016
Well, unless you're on any of the main roads, and those are completely clear.

98
00:05:14,083 --> 00:05:15,216
It's just the side roads out here.

99
00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:18,933
I went, you mean to tell me, I woke up early to

100
00:05:18,949 --> 00:05:22,000
 jump up, start getting ready, and I mean, while I'm

101
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,050
 listening to it, I'm throwing my clothes on thinking, man, I got to, I'm going to have to, it's

102
00:05:25,066 --> 00:05:27,283
 going to take me an extra 45 minutes to get into work.

103
00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:29,449
Oh, no, it was perfectly clear all the way up.

104
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:31,116
I was like, y'all had me panicked.

105
00:05:31,183 --> 00:05:31,949
Goodness.

106
00:05:32,033 --> 00:05:33,466
roads are warm.

107
00:05:33,533 --> 00:05:34,666
They are.

108
00:05:34,733 --> 00:05:35,750
It was, but it was.

109
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,333
It was so funny.

110
00:05:36,399 --> 00:05:38,500
Those news anchors were just hamming it up a little bit.

111
00:05:38,566 --> 00:05:39,633
They're like, oh, it's awful.

112
00:05:39,699 --> 00:05:40,899
Well, unless you're on the main roads.

113
00:05:40,966 --> 00:05:41,566
They're completely clear.

114
00:05:41,633 --> 00:05:43,300
I'm like, good night.

115
00:05:43,366 --> 00:05:46,366
Click beat.

116
00:05:46,433 --> 00:05:47,149
All right.

117
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:50,666
Well, last week, we finished up Revelation 13.

118
00:05:50,933 --> 00:05:54,833
That was, that was a

119
00:05:54,833 --> 00:05:58,783
 lot of, a lot of discussion we got to have on that, a lot of, diving

120
00:05:58,783 --> 00:06:01,899
 into the talk about the beasts that it talks about there at

121
00:06:01,899 --> 00:06:04,949
 the end and the beasts plural because now you've got 3

122
00:06:04,966 --> 00:06:07,966
 that we were looking at, or 2 beasts plus

123
00:06:07,966 --> 00:06:10,966
 the dragon that we were looking at, and you got to see all of that.

124
00:06:11,033 --> 00:06:14,566
And, uh, then we come to Revelation 14 and

125
00:06:14,566 --> 00:06:18,033
 uh, hey, we get to start off on a 14 verse one again.

126
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:20,666
I like it when we start off on the verse one.

127
00:06:20,750 --> 00:06:21,283
Yeah.

128
00:06:21,350 --> 00:06:21,949
Yeah.

129
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,233
And this is, man, I

130
00:06:25,250 --> 00:06:27,050
 got I got to make a confession here.

131
00:06:27,050 --> 00:06:30,100
To me, Revelation 14 might be one

132
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:32,199
 of the most confusing chapters of the whole Bible.

133
00:06:32,266 --> 00:06:36,166
I struggle with 14.

134
00:06:36,283 --> 00:06:37,483
I'm going to need some help with this.

135
00:06:37,550 --> 00:06:41,083
But it's we're still in that mode of

136
00:06:41,083 --> 00:06:43,600
 kind of, here's the background stuff, right?

137
00:06:43,666 --> 00:06:46,716
It's chapters, what is it, 12 through 14 that kind of

138
00:06:46,733 --> 00:06:49,783
 just kind of break away from the main events of the tribulation and kind

139
00:06:49,783 --> 00:06:51,750
 of give some other views.

140
00:06:51,833 --> 00:06:52,000
Yeah.

141
00:06:52,066 --> 00:06:55,666
But 14, I guess, gets us back into back

142
00:06:55,666 --> 00:06:58,783
 to 144,000 and it, it's

143
00:06:58,783 --> 00:07:01,483
 really, Jesus wins.

144
00:07:01,550 --> 00:07:02,316
It does.

145
00:07:02,333 --> 00:07:02,683
He does.

146
00:07:02,750 --> 00:07:03,100
Right.

147
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:03,516
Absolutely.

148
00:07:03,649 --> 00:07:04,483
Absolutely.

149
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:05,016
Yeah.

150
00:07:05,083 --> 00:07:05,683
Yeah.

151
00:07:05,750 --> 00:07:08,983
over anything else, that's what we need to know, right?

152
00:07:09,050 --> 00:07:10,600
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

153
00:07:10,666 --> 00:07:14,316
We're going through Daniel in my Sunday school class, and, you know, I just keep reminding them.

154
00:07:14,383 --> 00:07:17,133
that Daniel is about the sovereignty of God.

155
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:20,316
He is in control, whether it's Daniel in a lion's den or

156
00:07:20,333 --> 00:07:23,500
 Shadrack, me shaking a bend to go or prophecies of the end times.

157
00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:25,416
And Revelation's the same way.

158
00:07:25,483 --> 00:07:27,699
It's like you said, he's the 4th man in the fire.

159
00:07:27,699 --> 00:07:28,233
That's right.

160
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:28,533
Yeah.

161
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:28,949
Yeah.

162
00:07:29,033 --> 00:07:29,183
Amen.

163
00:07:30,649 --> 00:07:31,783
Hey, man.

164
00:07:31,850 --> 00:07:33,100
Let's hit it, man.

165
00:07:33,166 --> 00:07:33,766
All right.

166
00:07:33,833 --> 00:07:34,250
Ready?

167
00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:36,100
You want to go verse one?

168
00:07:36,166 --> 00:07:36,666
All right.

169
00:07:37,433 --> 00:07:40,783
Then I looked, and behold, the lamb was standing on Mount Zion.

170
00:07:40,850 --> 00:07:44,449
And with him 144,000, having his

171
00:07:44,449 --> 00:07:47,683
 name and the name of his father written on their foreheads.

172
00:07:47,750 --> 00:07:51,466
So who's the lamb?

173
00:07:51,533 --> 00:07:53,083
So again?

174
00:07:53,149 --> 00:07:54,100
I said, who's the lamb?

175
00:07:54,166 --> 00:07:54,766
Oh, yeah.

176
00:07:54,833 --> 00:07:56,033
Jesus, isn't it?

177
00:07:56,083 --> 00:07:56,916
Yeah, amen.

178
00:07:56,983 --> 00:07:57,399
Yeah.

179
00:07:57,466 --> 00:08:00,816
And here's this group of people, the 144,000

180
00:08:00,833 --> 00:08:02,266
 they're mentioned in chapter 7.

181
00:08:02,333 --> 00:08:05,333
And how many of them will he lose?

182
00:08:05,383 --> 00:08:05,916
Zero.

183
00:08:06,833 --> 00:08:07,433
Zebro.

184
00:08:07,483 --> 00:08:07,783
Right?

185
00:08:07,850 --> 00:08:08,983
None of them.

186
00:08:09,050 --> 00:08:12,166
They have all they've all been sealed at this time.

187
00:08:12,233 --> 00:08:13,000
Yeah, yeah.

188
00:08:13,066 --> 00:08:14,733
Yep, and I won't do my impression again.

189
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,166
No, no, I know.

190
00:08:22,183 --> 00:08:22,783
Good job.

191
00:08:22,899 --> 00:08:26,500
You know, the interesting thing on this verse.

192
00:08:26,566 --> 00:08:29,800
He has the 144,000 who

193
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,233
 had his name and his father's name written on their foreheads.

194
00:08:34,299 --> 00:08:35,666
nobody knows that name, man.

195
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:37,649
Nobody knows those names for sure.

196
00:08:37,733 --> 00:08:38,450
Yeah.

197
00:08:38,450 --> 00:08:41,799
And, uh, there's all kinds of speculation

198
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:45,033
 and all that the people thrown around over the years, but nobody, I mean, because it doesn't tell us.

199
00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:46,299
It doesn't tell us what that means.

200
00:08:46,366 --> 00:08:50,500
But the interesting thing is, and uh, one, uh,

201
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:53,616
 a thing that I've, I've heard some people kind of discuss back and forth,

202
00:08:53,633 --> 00:08:55,133
 is it 2 separate names or is one?

203
00:08:55,183 --> 00:08:55,899
Yeah.

204
00:08:56,383 --> 00:08:57,633
Because they're one and the same.

205
00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:01,049
Is it just one name that encompasses both of them?

206
00:09:01,066 --> 00:09:03,516
Or is it actually 2 individual names?

207
00:09:03,583 --> 00:09:05,916
More than just Jesus as his name, right?

208
00:09:05,983 --> 00:09:07,833
It's got a name nobody knows, written.

209
00:09:07,899 --> 00:09:08,549
Is it a sty?

210
00:09:08,633 --> 00:09:09,166
I think.

211
00:09:09,166 --> 00:09:09,700
Yes.

212
00:09:09,833 --> 00:09:10,183
On his thigh.

213
00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:11,083
Yeah.

214
00:09:11,149 --> 00:09:12,350
And he's going to give us a white stone.

215
00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:13,049
That's right.

216
00:09:13,133 --> 00:09:13,299
Yeah.

217
00:09:13,366 --> 00:09:16,483
And that's that's that's interesting too when

218
00:09:16,483 --> 00:09:19,483
 you get when we get to that and to talk about that white

219
00:09:19,483 --> 00:09:22,533
 stone and what that means and some history on that too.

220
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:23,616
So, yeah.

221
00:09:23,683 --> 00:09:24,333
That's pretty cool.

222
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:25,233
Pretty cool.

223
00:09:25,299 --> 00:09:29,066
Here's a... here's my 1st confusion question.

224
00:09:29,149 --> 00:09:32,200
What is he

225
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,933
 talking about when he's talking about Mount Zion?

226
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Is he talking about heaven or is he talking

227
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,733
 about Mount Zion, Jerusalem?

228
00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:42,100
I think here, um, as

229
00:09:42,100 --> 00:09:45,933
 he said he stood on, I looked and he stood on Mount Sine.

230
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,866
I think I think we're talking about Jerusalem there, I believe.

231
00:09:48,950 --> 00:09:50,149
Yeah, I believe.

232
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,666
And I guess if that's the case, then we're looking at the

233
00:09:54,233 --> 00:09:55,600
 end of the tribulation, right?

234
00:09:55,666 --> 00:09:56,016
here, right?

235
00:09:56,083 --> 00:09:57,149
Yeah.

236
00:09:57,166 --> 00:09:57,816
Yeah.

237
00:09:57,883 --> 00:10:00,033
I think we're looking forward here.

238
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:02,133
Yeah, we're looking.

239
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,316
We're getting a glimpse here of a

240
00:10:05,333 --> 00:10:08,450
 few things, a little futuristic, a

241
00:10:08,450 --> 00:10:11,566
 little, you know, hey, this is what's about to happen.

242
00:10:11,633 --> 00:10:13,549
This is what's going to take place.

243
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:14,200
Yeah.

244
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,799
Because we start talking about the 144,000

245
00:10:17,799 --> 00:10:21,216
 and the song that they're going to be singing here in just a second.

246
00:10:21,283 --> 00:10:21,750
So, yeah.

247
00:10:21,833 --> 00:10:25,299
And the other the other thing to remember with that is the previous chapter

248
00:10:25,299 --> 00:10:29,066
 was from the point of view of John had

249
00:10:29,083 --> 00:10:32,133
 been in heaven and he is now standing on the

250
00:10:32,149 --> 00:10:33,649
 earth seeing these events happen.

251
00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:35,799
because he was seeing the, right?

252
00:10:35,866 --> 00:10:38,866
Because he saw the dragon with its, you know, foot in the sea and foot on the earth

253
00:10:38,866 --> 00:10:42,033
 and he saw the beast rising out of the sea and he saw the beast rising out of the air.

254
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:43,299
He's on the earth witnessing.

255
00:10:43,366 --> 00:10:46,600
And then he looked and hear where he is currently.

256
00:10:46,666 --> 00:10:47,866
It doesn't say he went anywhere else.

257
00:10:47,933 --> 00:10:51,233
So the implication to me, again, these the chapter divisions

258
00:10:51,233 --> 00:10:53,799
 are for us that were added later.

259
00:10:53,866 --> 00:10:54,883
So this was one big letter.

260
00:10:54,950 --> 00:10:58,183
So if you take it as a narrative that way, he

261
00:10:58,183 --> 00:11:02,016
 looks and, oh, look, right there on Mount Zion, and I think there's a possibility.

262
00:11:02,083 --> 00:11:06,333
The confusion comes in the next couple of verses.

263
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:08,966
Yeah, okay. as to where amounts I is.

264
00:11:09,049 --> 00:11:09,766
Right, right.

265
00:11:10,183 --> 00:11:13,183
And I heard a voice from heaven and a voice from many waters.

266
00:11:13,250 --> 00:11:16,716
And as the voice of a great thunder,

267
00:11:16,733 --> 00:11:19,899
 and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their heart.

268
00:11:19,966 --> 00:11:21,700
Touch on that and just spent too.

269
00:11:21,766 --> 00:11:24,816
And they sung, as it were, a

270
00:11:24,833 --> 00:11:28,000
 new song before the throne and before the beast

271
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,600
 and the elders, and no man could learn that song, but the

272
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,416
 144,000, which were redeemed from the air.

273
00:11:35,983 --> 00:11:37,350
And this is where my confusion comes in.

274
00:11:37,433 --> 00:11:37,899
Right.

275
00:11:37,899 --> 00:11:41,133
Because he's seeing this, this new song that

276
00:11:41,149 --> 00:11:44,266
 only they can learn is being sung to the four living

277
00:11:44,266 --> 00:11:46,533
 creatures around the throne in heaven.

278
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:46,950
Right.

279
00:11:46,966 --> 00:11:48,883
And the elders who are around the throne in heaven.

280
00:11:48,950 --> 00:11:49,483
Right.

281
00:11:49,549 --> 00:11:52,549
But it doesn't necessarily say but Mount

282
00:11:52,549 --> 00:11:56,016
 Zion's not referred to as anything but earthly in scripture.

283
00:11:56,083 --> 00:11:56,799
Right.

284
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:58,716
It's never referred to anything in heaven.

285
00:11:58,783 --> 00:11:59,433
Yeah, yeah.

286
00:11:59,500 --> 00:11:59,916
Right.

287
00:11:59,983 --> 00:12:00,516
Right, right.

288
00:12:00,583 --> 00:12:00,816
Yeah.

289
00:12:00,950 --> 00:12:04,116
So you're looking at, but they could be singing

290
00:12:04,133 --> 00:12:05,433
 to them as...

291
00:12:06,883 --> 00:12:10,116
It doesn't say the 144,000 are seeing it, it says that they learned it.

292
00:12:10,183 --> 00:12:11,500
They learn that song.

293
00:12:11,633 --> 00:12:13,250
And they're hearing this from heaven.

294
00:12:13,366 --> 00:12:16,000
But this is but this is a song.

295
00:12:16,066 --> 00:12:19,116
I believe that we're looking forward here to the millennium.

296
00:12:19,183 --> 00:12:22,233
And I think this the 144,000

297
00:12:22,250 --> 00:12:24,283
 sing this song in the millennium.

298
00:12:24,350 --> 00:12:26,683
Maybe they learn it here and singing it in millennia.

299
00:12:26,750 --> 00:12:29,750
Maybe this is looking forward to the millennium, but no one can sing this

300
00:12:29,750 --> 00:12:32,500
 song but the redeem, these 144,000 redeem.

301
00:12:32,566 --> 00:12:35,916
No one can truly praise his name, but the redeemed,

302
00:12:35,933 --> 00:12:37,066
 all the redeemed.

303
00:12:37,133 --> 00:12:40,250
Of course, can do that, but no one will say he is

304
00:12:40,250 --> 00:12:41,750
 good, but they're redeemed, right?

305
00:12:41,799 --> 00:12:42,633
Those who know him.

306
00:12:42,700 --> 00:12:45,700
Psalms 107, one and 2 will give thanks to the

307
00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:47,966
 Lord, for he is good for his mercy endureth forever.

308
00:12:48,049 --> 00:12:51,516
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he

309
00:12:51,533 --> 00:12:53,266
 hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.

310
00:12:53,383 --> 00:12:56,500
So yeah, I think I think we're looking.

311
00:12:56,566 --> 00:12:58,899
I think we're looking forward to the millennium here.

312
00:12:58,966 --> 00:12:59,616
Yeah, yeah.

313
00:12:59,683 --> 00:12:59,916
Yeah.

314
00:12:59,933 --> 00:13:02,933
And I started to say too, one of the things that, uh, that

315
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:07,233
 I think a lot of people miss here is they talk

316
00:13:07,250 --> 00:13:10,600
 about that song we're going to sing that nobody

317
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,700
 else knows that we're going to learn this.

318
00:13:12,766 --> 00:13:14,016
No, 144,000.

319
00:13:14,149 --> 00:13:14,566
Thats not us.

320
00:13:14,633 --> 00:13:15,350
That's not it.

321
00:13:15,399 --> 00:13:16,299
They got their song.

322
00:13:16,299 --> 00:13:17,316
The elders have their song.

323
00:13:17,383 --> 00:13:18,633
They got something special.

324
00:13:19,433 --> 00:13:20,566
Yeah, they have something special.

325
00:13:20,633 --> 00:13:23,933
It's different than the

326
00:13:23,933 --> 00:13:26,933
 song of redemption that we are able to sing that is something

327
00:13:26,933 --> 00:13:30,100
 that we understand that the angels aren't able to, but then

328
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:31,600
 I think there'll be songs that we sing together.

329
00:13:31,666 --> 00:13:32,866
Yes, absolutely.

330
00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:35,250
we'll have our own zone.

331
00:13:35,333 --> 00:13:37,600
Yeah, just because it's not listed.

332
00:13:37,666 --> 00:13:38,200
That's right

333
00:13:38,383 --> 00:13:38,983
That's right.

334
00:13:39,049 --> 00:13:39,583
Yeah.

335
00:13:39,649 --> 00:13:40,366
Yeah.

336
00:13:40,433 --> 00:13:41,683
All right, verse four?

337
00:13:41,750 --> 00:13:42,466
Verse four.

338
00:13:42,533 --> 00:13:43,299
Yeah, 4 and five.

339
00:13:43,366 --> 00:13:44,133
You don't go both of them?

340
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:44,366
Yeah.

341
00:13:44,933 --> 00:13:47,983
These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they

342
00:13:47,983 --> 00:13:49,533
 have kept themselves chased.

343
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,466
These are the ones who follow the lamb wherever he goes.

344
00:13:52,549 --> 00:13:55,850
These have been purchased from among men as 1st fruits

345
00:13:55,850 --> 00:13:58,966
 to God and to the lamb, and no lie was found in their mouth.

346
00:13:59,033 --> 00:13:59,799
They're blameless.

347
00:13:59,866 --> 00:14:03,100
So this 1st fruits thing here,

348
00:14:03,100 --> 00:14:06,633
 uh, is something that just stuck out to me is uh, these

349
00:14:06,649 --> 00:14:08,683
 are the 1st fruits of the millennial kingdom.

350
00:14:08,750 --> 00:14:09,649
Right.

351
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:12,700
These are the 144,000s that God's starting all over.

352
00:14:12,766 --> 00:14:13,783
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

353
00:14:13,850 --> 00:14:16,966
Yeah, and I mean, and you got to look here.

354
00:14:17,033 --> 00:14:20,433
Desperate times call for desperate measures.

355
00:14:20,750 --> 00:14:23,083
These guys, they didn't have time to be married, right?

356
00:14:23,149 --> 00:14:25,666
I mean, they were about the father's business.

357
00:14:25,733 --> 00:14:27,049
This was like a bunch of polls.

358
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:29,433
that they that they were out there.

359
00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:32,549
Paul said, look, I didn't

360
00:14:32,566 --> 00:14:34,116
 really find it where I had time to be married.

361
00:14:34,183 --> 00:14:38,200
I was doing the Lord's work and I didn't need anything to get in the way of that.

362
00:14:38,266 --> 00:14:42,100
Not that being married can get in away with it, but then it also can, right?

363
00:14:42,166 --> 00:14:44,683
There are times where you get into that, but we won't.

364
00:14:44,750 --> 00:14:48,216
But because of the dark days in Jeremiah's

365
00:14:48,233 --> 00:14:50,033
 time, God forbade him to marry.

366
00:14:50,083 --> 00:14:51,816
Jeremiah 16, one through 4.

367
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,000
The word of the Lord came in also unto me

368
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,049
 saying, thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt

369
00:14:58,066 --> 00:15:00,466
 thou have sons or daughters in this place.

370
00:15:00,533 --> 00:15:03,533
For thus saith the Lord, concerning the sons and

371
00:15:03,533 --> 00:15:06,533
 concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their

372
00:15:06,533 --> 00:15:09,533
 mothers that bear them, and concerning their

373
00:15:09,533 --> 00:15:12,583
 fathers that begat them in this land, they shall die of

374
00:15:12,583 --> 00:15:16,183
 grievous death, they shall not be lamented, neither

375
00:15:16,183 --> 00:15:19,533
 shall they be buried, but they shall be as dung

376
00:15:19,549 --> 00:15:22,850
 upon the face of the earth, and they shall be consumed by the sword,

377
00:15:22,850 --> 00:15:26,149
 and by famine, and their carcasses shall be meat for the fowls

378
00:15:26,149 --> 00:15:28,416
 of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

379
00:15:28,483 --> 00:15:31,950
So the Lord warned even against having children during

380
00:15:31,966 --> 00:15:33,883
 this tribulation time, didn't he?

381
00:15:33,950 --> 00:15:35,450
And in Matthew 24, 19.

382
00:15:35,750 --> 00:15:39,516
Woe unto them that are with child and them that give suck in those days.

383
00:15:39,583 --> 00:15:40,049
Yeah.

384
00:15:40,066 --> 00:15:40,916
Yeah.

385
00:15:41,866 --> 00:15:44,916
These guys, I

386
00:15:45,766 --> 00:15:49,066
 read a little bit about the status,

387
00:15:49,066 --> 00:15:50,799
 you know, that these guys are virgins.

388
00:15:50,866 --> 00:15:51,816
Yeah.

389
00:15:51,883 --> 00:15:54,750
And they're, and I think it's literal.

390
00:15:54,833 --> 00:15:55,966
Yeah, I do too.

391
00:15:56,033 --> 00:15:56,500
Honestly.

392
00:15:56,566 --> 00:15:59,616
I don't, you know, if people talk about, well, it's, they're just keep

393
00:15:59,633 --> 00:16:01,783
 themselves pure and this and that.

394
00:16:01,850 --> 00:16:03,700
Well, I think they have, but I think they have physically too.

395
00:16:03,766 --> 00:16:06,816
I think so too, because I think they needed, they needed

396
00:16:06,833 --> 00:16:10,549
 this purity to never know what it was like to,

397
00:16:10,549 --> 00:16:13,666
 to not, even I, I don't know that while, since he

398
00:16:13,666 --> 00:16:15,583
 sealed them that they even have that temptation.

399
00:16:15,649 --> 00:16:16,483
Probably not.

400
00:16:16,483 --> 00:16:18,583
Because it would be a distraction, right?

401
00:16:18,649 --> 00:16:20,383
It would be a total distraction.

402
00:16:20,450 --> 00:16:22,716
And they've got a fire lid on them.

403
00:16:22,733 --> 00:16:23,933
Yeah, for evangelism.

404
00:16:24,049 --> 00:16:24,649
Oh, absolutely.

405
00:16:24,700 --> 00:16:28,049
which flies in the face of a lot of Calvinism.

406
00:16:28,133 --> 00:16:28,850
Sure.

407
00:16:28,850 --> 00:16:31,366
These guys are going all over the world, isn't it?

408
00:16:31,433 --> 00:16:34,549
And, you know, God in 3 different places in the Old Testament

409
00:16:34,549 --> 00:16:36,700
 refers to Israel as a virgin daughter.

410
00:16:36,766 --> 00:16:39,100
You know, in Isaiah 37, 22.

411
00:16:39,283 --> 00:16:44,016
He says, this is the word that the Lord has spoken against against Senacherib, king of Assyria.

412
00:16:44,033 --> 00:16:47,799
She has despised you and mocked you, the virgin daughter of Zion.

413
00:16:47,866 --> 00:16:50,799
He says it again in 2nd Kings 21 and lamentations 2.

414
00:16:50,983 --> 00:16:51,516
Yeah.

415
00:16:51,533 --> 00:16:54,883
So this virgin thing is a

416
00:16:54,883 --> 00:16:57,283
 dear thing to the Lord when he talks about Israel.

417
00:16:57,350 --> 00:17:00,766
Because he uses that opposite expression for Babylon.

418
00:17:00,833 --> 00:17:02,383
a great harlot.

419
00:17:02,450 --> 00:17:03,049
That's right

420
00:17:03,166 --> 00:17:06,333
Who was the Old Testament prophet

421
00:17:06,349 --> 00:17:07,483
 he made Mary a harlot?

422
00:17:07,549 --> 00:17:11,916
Was that, uh, that was, um, um, Oh my goodness.

423
00:17:11,983 --> 00:17:14,616
The home story they made the movie out of.

424
00:17:14,683 --> 00:17:16,599
My mind just went completely blank when you said that.

425
00:17:16,666 --> 00:17:17,133
Yeah.

426
00:17:17,150 --> 00:17:19,666
Good gracious.

427
00:17:19,733 --> 00:17:22,599
But he contrasts the 2 like that.

428
00:17:22,666 --> 00:17:23,616
It's almost harsh language.

429
00:17:23,683 --> 00:17:25,299
You know, it's like, yeah.

430
00:17:25,366 --> 00:17:26,016
Jose.

431
00:17:26,083 --> 00:17:28,116
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

432
00:17:28,183 --> 00:17:29,433
I think for sure.

433
00:17:29,866 --> 00:17:30,816
Probably to look.

434
00:17:30,833 --> 00:17:31,783
Hosea.

435
00:17:31,849 --> 00:17:32,316
Yeah.

436
00:17:32,383 --> 00:17:34,650
Right, yeah, you know.

437
00:17:34,783 --> 00:17:41,983
I'm getting

438
00:17:41,983 --> 00:17:43,000
 a little racy here, man.

439
00:17:43,066 --> 00:17:44,316
Couldn't help yourself.

440
00:17:44,383 --> 00:17:45,283
Just couldn't help it.

441
00:17:45,349 --> 00:17:48,400
Those dad jokes just pour it.

442
00:17:48,466 --> 00:17:51,400
Where my drums, man.

443
00:17:51,466 --> 00:17:53,666
Yep, we're getting drums when you need them.

444
00:17:54,183 --> 00:17:57,466
You know, but that, you know, that is

445
00:17:57,466 --> 00:18:01,066
 the thing about these guys because there's no time for any of that.

446
00:18:01,133 --> 00:18:05,033
I mean, there's just no time for them to be messing around for them to be going out and trying

447
00:18:05,033 --> 00:18:08,200
 to have a family and marrying and all of that.

448
00:18:08,266 --> 00:18:10,183
They are so focused on their job.

449
00:18:10,250 --> 00:18:12,283
They're so so intent on what they're doing.

450
00:18:12,349 --> 00:18:13,783
No, I'm with you.

451
00:18:13,849 --> 00:18:17,016
I don't I don't think there was, I think they're virgins as far as as

452
00:18:17,033 --> 00:18:18,400
 their sex life.

453
00:18:18,466 --> 00:18:20,983
I think they're virgins as far as probably not drinking.

454
00:18:21,049 --> 00:18:23,566
They're not being exposed to alcohol or anything like that.

455
00:18:23,633 --> 00:18:24,166
They are.

456
00:18:24,283 --> 00:18:25,183
I mean, they are pure.

457
00:18:25,250 --> 00:18:29,266
None of these things that are temptations the rest of us face today are

458
00:18:29,266 --> 00:18:30,516
 things that they are giving into.

459
00:18:30,583 --> 00:18:33,583
Not they're not perfect, but they are pure.

460
00:18:33,650 --> 00:18:36,099
They're not perfect, but they're as close to it as they can get.

461
00:18:36,166 --> 00:18:36,516
Right.

462
00:18:36,583 --> 00:18:38,316
I mean, for that time and that purpose.

463
00:18:38,383 --> 00:18:40,049
And I think...

464
00:18:40,066 --> 00:18:42,933
Because perfection suggests that they would make no mistakes.

465
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,049
That every decision they make is correct, that every, every

466
00:18:46,066 --> 00:18:48,166
 movement they make is exactly what they're supposed to do.

467
00:18:48,233 --> 00:18:51,283
I think they're going and doing what God is sending them to do,

468
00:18:51,283 --> 00:18:54,283
 but it doesn't mean they're not going to slip up and make them mistake here and there, but

469
00:18:54,283 --> 00:18:57,816
 they're not going and jumping into sin left and right.

470
00:18:57,883 --> 00:18:58,900
I think too.

471
00:18:58,966 --> 00:19:02,133
Okay, so if you look at this, and we talked about this before.

472
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,549
So the Holy Spirit's going to work in a different way during this time, right?

473
00:19:05,633 --> 00:19:08,933
It's going to be more of an Old Testament type thing with the Holy Spirit.

474
00:19:08,983 --> 00:19:12,150
We've read the verses that say, talk

475
00:19:12,166 --> 00:19:15,166
 about the Antichrist not being able to come on the scene until

476
00:19:15,166 --> 00:19:18,166
 he, you know, lets is taken out of the way, which we know to

477
00:19:18,166 --> 00:19:21,166
 be the Holy Spirit, which is the church, it lives in the church, and

478
00:19:21,166 --> 00:19:24,416
 so the Holy Spirit's gone with the church, but we know that in

479
00:19:25,250 --> 00:19:29,616
 the Old Testament that God used the Holy Spirit to even

480
00:19:29,633 --> 00:19:32,799
 evil, people who were evil, people who were good,

481
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:35,316
 to do certain things that need to be done, right?

482
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:39,283
And the Holy Spirit and prompted that or prompted them to do these certain things.

483
00:19:39,349 --> 00:19:41,500
Hard and Pharaoh's heart.

484
00:19:41,566 --> 00:19:43,183
So, but let's look at this right here.

485
00:19:43,250 --> 00:19:46,549
So we got these 244,000. and we know, how are we sealed?

486
00:19:46,599 --> 00:19:47,799
How are we sealed?

487
00:19:47,866 --> 00:19:50,433
We are sealed by the Holy Spirit, right?

488
00:19:50,500 --> 00:19:52,166
That's how we're sealed in our salvation.

489
00:19:52,250 --> 00:19:55,366
So now you got these 144,000.

490
00:19:55,549 --> 00:19:59,266
Now, I think the rest of the earth and the

491
00:19:59,266 --> 00:20:02,866
 rest of the people that are coming to Jesus during this time or they're coming to the

492
00:20:02,866 --> 00:20:05,799
 believe in him, they're having the Old Testament Thai faith.

493
00:20:05,866 --> 00:20:07,833
They're having to believe through faith in that.

494
00:20:07,900 --> 00:20:09,400
But these 144,000.

495
00:20:09,533 --> 00:20:12,283
The Bible says they are sealed, that they are sealed by God.

496
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,000
So I think the Holy Spirit with them has a

497
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,000
 much more prominent position and job with

498
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,049
 these 144,000 than he does with everybody else.

499
00:20:22,133 --> 00:20:25,250
And I think I think that they are, they have

500
00:20:25,250 --> 00:20:28,483
 devoted themselves to, to letting the Holy

501
00:20:28,483 --> 00:20:30,400
 Spirit lead them and guide them and direct them.

502
00:20:30,466 --> 00:20:33,283
Now, here's what I want to say to that.

503
00:20:33,349 --> 00:20:36,349
We also are able to do that.

504
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,349
Right?

505
00:20:37,433 --> 00:20:39,400
I mean, we are also able to do that.

506
00:20:39,466 --> 00:20:41,799
Now we've been defiled in a lot of different ways.

507
00:20:41,866 --> 00:20:45,416
But we have the ability to

508
00:20:45,766 --> 00:20:48,816
 walk away from sin to make it the right choice

509
00:20:48,833 --> 00:20:51,466
 because of who lives in us.

510
00:20:51,533 --> 00:20:55,366
And I said, that same Holy Spirit, I think, is going to guide them.

511
00:20:55,433 --> 00:20:58,966
But it also says there in verse 5 that they

512
00:20:58,966 --> 00:21:02,433
 waste not their breath with gossip or false accusation

513
00:21:02,450 --> 00:21:04,000
 or filthy language.

514
00:21:04,066 --> 00:21:07,183
They were on a mission to

515
00:21:07,183 --> 00:21:10,299
 spread the gospel to a lost world who needed it

516
00:21:10,299 --> 00:21:11,733
 before it was ever too late.

517
00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:13,599
Yeah, I think Paul's a perfect example.

518
00:21:13,666 --> 00:21:16,416
This is 144,000 Pauls running around.

519
00:21:16,483 --> 00:21:17,083
They are, right?

520
00:21:17,083 --> 00:21:19,650
Yeah, ready to get beaten, ready to get thrown in jail.

521
00:21:19,666 --> 00:21:20,916
They don't care.

522
00:21:20,983 --> 00:21:22,233
And Paul even said,

523
00:21:22,299 --> 00:21:23,666
I wish I wish you could be like I am.

524
00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:25,900
Just get rid of that junk.

525
00:21:25,966 --> 00:21:27,516
It would be better, right?

526
00:21:27,583 --> 00:21:30,516
But if you can't, you know, it's better to marry than to burn.

527
00:21:30,583 --> 00:21:31,783
Right, yeah, right, yeah.

528
00:21:31,849 --> 00:21:33,950
You know, also interesting here.

529
00:21:34,666 --> 00:21:36,283
You know, it says they don't lie.

530
00:21:36,349 --> 00:21:40,116
And I love, you know, the modern translation, they are blameless.

531
00:21:40,183 --> 00:21:43,233
The King James, though, I love that translation here,

532
00:21:43,250 --> 00:21:46,483
 for they are without fault before the throne of God.

533
00:21:46,599 --> 00:21:47,133
Yeah.

534
00:21:47,150 --> 00:21:50,566
I mean, they are, this is 144,000

535
00:21:50,566 --> 00:21:53,799
 Pauls, Stevens, 144,000 of what the high

536
00:21:53,799 --> 00:21:56,849
 priests were supposed to be in the original temple,

537
00:21:56,866 --> 00:21:58,416
 the ones that were going in and making.

538
00:21:58,483 --> 00:21:59,616
This is what they were supposed to be.

539
00:21:59,683 --> 00:22:02,683
They were supposed to have no fault before the throne of God when

540
00:22:02,683 --> 00:22:05,799
 they went to make these sacrifices, and we know that a lot of them had

541
00:22:05,799 --> 00:22:09,566
 didn't have that because they had to be drug out by the rope because they went in there and died.

542
00:22:09,650 --> 00:22:10,900
I think yeah.

543
00:22:10,966 --> 00:22:14,133
Yeah, and I think they were a combination of, like you were saying,

544
00:22:14,150 --> 00:22:17,200
 several biblical

545
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,500
 figures that we look at, Paul, because

546
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:24,633
 he was so bold, because he didn't marry, because,

547
00:22:24,650 --> 00:22:26,266
 you know, he was ready to die.

548
00:22:26,333 --> 00:22:29,933
He didn't, you know, he knew what his his job was and what he was called to.

549
00:22:29,983 --> 00:22:33,400
I think Stephen, because Stephen

550
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,933
 was willing to die for his faith and he

551
00:22:36,950 --> 00:22:38,566
 was full of the Holy Ghost.

552
00:22:38,633 --> 00:22:41,333
Stephen was full of the Holy Ghost, you know, it was something.

553
00:22:41,450 --> 00:22:43,783
when they made him one of the 1st deacons.

554
00:22:43,849 --> 00:22:44,750
Which one of the deacons, yeah.

555
00:22:44,799 --> 00:22:46,116
he was filled with it.

556
00:22:46,183 --> 00:22:47,733
He was just bursting from it.

557
00:22:47,799 --> 00:22:49,950
It's like it's just exploding out.

558
00:22:50,033 --> 00:22:50,566
Right.

559
00:22:50,633 --> 00:22:50,866
Yeah.

560
00:22:50,933 --> 00:22:51,950
and then Joe, right?

561
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,466
And Job was a was a perfect man before the Lord.

562
00:22:55,549 --> 00:22:58,483
Now, does that mean he was perfect in every way?

563
00:22:58,549 --> 00:23:01,716
No, but but as far as his devotion

564
00:23:01,733 --> 00:23:03,833
 to Jesus, to refer to God.

565
00:23:03,883 --> 00:23:07,833
Uh, then he was a devoted man of God.

566
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:10,599
And he was looked at as perfect in that way.

567
00:23:10,666 --> 00:23:12,216
As far as wallowing and sin went.

568
00:23:12,283 --> 00:23:13,116
He shunned it.

569
00:23:13,183 --> 00:23:13,783
He turned away from it.

570
00:23:13,849 --> 00:23:15,349
Well, it's how Noah's described it.

571
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:15,866
Yeah, it is.

572
00:23:15,883 --> 00:23:17,083
Blameless in his generation.

573
00:23:17,150 --> 00:23:19,900
And by the way, you pointed out that these guys are sealed.

574
00:23:19,966 --> 00:23:21,883
Do you notice where it says they're sealed?

575
00:23:21,950 --> 00:23:23,083
on their foreheads.

576
00:23:23,150 --> 00:23:26,150
Right where the mark of the beast is going for everybody else,

577
00:23:26,150 --> 00:23:29,799
 and they're already sealed with the name of God, the name of the lamb, the name of his father.

578
00:23:29,866 --> 00:23:31,066
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

579
00:23:31,133 --> 00:23:31,183
Amen.

580
00:23:32,433 --> 00:23:35,033
Now, here's an interesting question.

581
00:23:35,083 --> 00:23:39,166
And and, uh, people

582
00:23:39,700 --> 00:23:42,866
 that have read left behind or read the stuff that Tim LaHaye

583
00:23:42,883 --> 00:23:46,116
 and Jenkins wrote on this, I know they had one idea on it.

584
00:23:46,183 --> 00:23:49,183
Do you think that there was ever

585
00:23:49,183 --> 00:23:52,183
 any chance for any of these 144,000

586
00:23:52,183 --> 00:23:54,450
 once they were sealed to ever get that mark?

587
00:23:54,533 --> 00:23:57,833
to ever get the Mark of the Beast.

588
00:23:57,883 --> 00:24:02,133
I don't think it was physically possible for them to get it.

589
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,700
Well, I think they'd already made their choice.

590
00:24:03,766 --> 00:24:04,416
Yep.

591
00:24:04,433 --> 00:24:06,099
You know, I think their choice was made.

592
00:24:06,233 --> 00:24:09,650
It would be like somebody who saved

593
00:24:09,650 --> 00:24:12,283
 choosing not to be saved anymore.

594
00:24:12,349 --> 00:24:12,766
Right.

595
00:24:12,833 --> 00:24:13,433
So yeah.

596
00:24:13,483 --> 00:24:16,716
Yeah, I had a letter that was written by a guy named Pliny

597
00:24:16,733 --> 00:24:21,533
 the Younger that was during the Roman persecution of the Jews people.

598
00:24:21,583 --> 00:24:24,633
And this guy was responsible for getting Christians

599
00:24:24,650 --> 00:24:26,616
 to turn away to renounce Christ.

600
00:24:26,683 --> 00:24:27,216
Yeah.

601
00:24:27,233 --> 00:24:30,099
And he would do all kinds of stuff to him and torture him.

602
00:24:30,166 --> 00:24:32,799
He didn't believe that a true believer could do it.

603
00:24:32,933 --> 00:24:33,183
Wow.

604
00:24:34,299 --> 00:24:36,933
He was a, he was a torturing kind of guy.

605
00:24:37,066 --> 00:24:39,400
He was a governor, like kind of like Pontius Pilate.

606
00:24:39,466 --> 00:24:39,933
Right.

607
00:24:39,950 --> 00:24:42,950
But he honestly believed that a real Christian

608
00:24:42,950 --> 00:24:44,266
 would never denounce it.

609
00:24:44,333 --> 00:24:45,233
Never denounced.

610
00:24:45,283 --> 00:24:45,583
Wow.

611
00:24:45,650 --> 00:24:47,416
Hey, yeah.

612
00:24:48,099 --> 00:24:50,500
That's a pretty good witness, you know?

613
00:24:50,566 --> 00:24:53,566
And and and if I remember correctly,

614
00:24:53,566 --> 00:24:57,583
 there were quite a few that died because of him because they refused to renounce.

615
00:24:57,650 --> 00:24:59,983
And he was like, well, clearly they were true Christians.

616
00:25:00,049 --> 00:25:01,849
Yeah, he wouldn't press it much further.

617
00:25:01,966 --> 00:25:02,500
just kill them.

618
00:25:02,566 --> 00:25:03,766
Yeah, yeah.

619
00:25:03,833 --> 00:25:07,733
Yeah, he would push him to the to the point that you couldn't push anymore, really.

620
00:25:07,783 --> 00:25:08,683
I mean, they're they're

621
00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:10,900
I mean, you didn't waste his time.

622
00:25:10,966 --> 00:25:13,233
Yeah, they're either about to die or their minds are about to break.

623
00:25:13,299 --> 00:25:16,166
I mean, that's how far you'd push it and then you'd go, okay, yeah, just end it.

624
00:25:16,250 --> 00:25:16,849
Yeah.

625
00:25:16,849 --> 00:25:17,566
Good Lord.

626
00:25:17,633 --> 00:25:20,799
And that's, you know, that's the empire that's coming back.

627
00:25:20,866 --> 00:25:21,516
It is.

628
00:25:21,533 --> 00:25:22,900
Same kind of attitude.

629
00:25:22,966 --> 00:25:23,799
Sure is.

630
00:25:23,866 --> 00:25:24,466
Absolutely.

631
00:25:24,533 --> 00:25:24,933
Absolutely

632
00:25:25,849 --> 00:25:26,916
Ugh.

633
00:25:27,683 --> 00:25:30,283
Six, seven, maybe?

634
00:25:30,349 --> 00:25:31,066
six, seven.

635
00:25:31,133 --> 00:25:34,183
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of

636
00:25:34,183 --> 00:25:37,650
 heaven having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that

637
00:25:37,666 --> 00:25:41,566
 dwell on the earth and to every nation and kindred and tongue and people.

638
00:25:41,633 --> 00:25:44,633
saying with a loud voice, fear God, and

639
00:25:44,633 --> 00:25:47,750
 give glory to him for the hour of his judgment

640
00:25:47,750 --> 00:25:50,866
 is come and worship him that made heaven and

641
00:25:50,866 --> 00:25:53,316
 earth, and the sea, and the fountains and the waters.

642
00:25:53,450 --> 00:25:57,516
So for now we see this one

643
00:25:57,533 --> 00:26:00,650
 last proclamation of the gospel.

644
00:26:00,700 --> 00:26:03,866
One last plea to accept Christ, one last

645
00:26:03,883 --> 00:26:07,299
 chance before the Lord steps foot on this earth,

646
00:26:07,299 --> 00:26:11,133
 uh, before this, this only,

647
00:26:11,150 --> 00:26:14,500
 the only man has, has, has ever carried the gospel, but, uh,

648
00:26:14,500 --> 00:26:17,733
 but, uh, but time is short and

649
00:26:17,750 --> 00:26:19,599
 the angels are ready, right?

650
00:26:19,733 --> 00:26:22,549
And God's word has to be proclaimed.

651
00:26:22,599 --> 00:26:25,049
He loves us that much.

652
00:26:25,133 --> 00:26:28,133
He loves, he loves this, this,

653
00:26:28,133 --> 00:26:31,366
 the people in this world, not, not the world, but

654
00:26:31,366 --> 00:26:34,366
 the people in this world that much that he's going to send angels

655
00:26:34,366 --> 00:26:35,616
 to actually preach the gospel.

656
00:26:35,683 --> 00:26:39,633
He's like, okay, I got you some guys to these 144,000

657
00:26:39,650 --> 00:26:42,283
 Pauls or hammering down.

658
00:26:42,349 --> 00:26:45,466
But now I'm going to send you some angels down there and let

659
00:26:45,466 --> 00:26:48,466
 you know that they're backing up with these 144,000 or something.

660
00:26:48,533 --> 00:26:51,833
Yeah, you got an untold number of just just regular people too.

661
00:26:51,833 --> 00:26:52,849
Yeah, sure.

662
00:26:52,849 --> 00:26:53,916
For refusing the mark.

663
00:26:53,983 --> 00:26:56,616
hiding out and getting martyred and all kinds of stuff.

664
00:26:56,683 --> 00:26:59,016
The witness coming from that's pretty strong too.

665
00:26:59,083 --> 00:27:00,099
Yes, absolutely.

666
00:27:00,166 --> 00:27:00,700
Yeah.

667
00:27:00,766 --> 00:27:04,483
So it says that this angel, uh,

668
00:27:04,483 --> 00:27:07,533
 proclaim to all those who live on the earth,

669
00:27:07,549 --> 00:27:09,650
 every nation tribe, language, and people.

670
00:27:09,766 --> 00:27:12,666
Do you think this angel flying overhead is audible.

671
00:27:13,483 --> 00:27:17,316
Physically that

672
00:27:17,333 --> 00:27:21,400
 people are actually hearing this thing shouting out.

673
00:27:21,466 --> 00:27:25,666
Yeah, I think so, because it says it says saying

674
00:27:25,666 --> 00:27:26,683
 with a loud voice.

675
00:27:26,750 --> 00:27:29,750
Yeah, fear God and give glory to him for the hour.

676
00:27:29,799 --> 00:27:30,633
Judgment is coming.

677
00:27:30,700 --> 00:27:31,833
So yeah.

678
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:33,516
Yeah, I think it's a miraculous thing.

679
00:27:33,583 --> 00:27:34,299
Yeah.

680
00:27:34,366 --> 00:27:37,416
Yeah, I think, you know, I mean,

681
00:27:37,433 --> 00:27:40,433
 you think about, it's like a, it's like a

682
00:27:40,433 --> 00:27:42,233
 speaker from heaven, you know what I'm saying?

683
00:27:42,283 --> 00:27:45,099
Everybody's hearing this thing. ringing out over the whole earth.

684
00:27:45,166 --> 00:27:46,183
Yeah, yeah.

685
00:27:46,250 --> 00:27:49,366
I kind of wonder if the whole earth isn't turned into a speaker.

686
00:27:49,433 --> 00:27:51,533
Literally reverberating from the ground.

687
00:27:51,583 --> 00:27:55,716
And I mean, this, this,

688
00:27:55,733 --> 00:27:56,933
 he's preaching.

689
00:27:56,983 --> 00:27:58,183
And it says he's preaching.

690
00:27:58,250 --> 00:27:58,966
the gospel.

691
00:27:59,033 --> 00:28:02,450
So to everyone that dwells on earth, every nation,

692
00:28:02,450 --> 00:28:04,299
 every kindred, every tongue, and every people.

693
00:28:04,366 --> 00:28:07,299
So this is not just for Jewish believers.

694
00:28:07,366 --> 00:28:10,416
This is for everyone who would hear the gospel.

695
00:28:10,483 --> 00:28:11,383
The whole world.

696
00:28:11,450 --> 00:28:14,500
This is not just a local thing, let some people have you believe, where it's

697
00:28:14,500 --> 00:28:17,666
 already happened, you know, around Rome, around Jerusalem.

698
00:28:17,750 --> 00:28:18,816
This is global.

699
00:28:18,883 --> 00:28:19,599
That's right

700
00:28:19,783 --> 00:28:20,383
That's right.

701
00:28:20,500 --> 00:28:23,549
All right, verse eight, and another angel,

702
00:28:23,566 --> 00:28:26,733
 a 2nd one followed, saying, fallen, fallen

703
00:28:26,750 --> 00:28:29,799
 is Babylon the Great, she who has made all the

704
00:28:29,799 --> 00:28:33,750
 nations drink of the wine of the passion of her immorality.

705
00:28:33,833 --> 00:28:34,433
Mm.

706
00:28:37,183 --> 00:28:40,299
This is um, this is a glimpse of what's

707
00:28:40,299 --> 00:28:43,833
 coming in in uh, 17, but

708
00:28:43,849 --> 00:28:47,016
 I think, do you think that this is a two-part thing,

709
00:28:47,033 --> 00:28:49,966
 like, like the religious system and the mid-tribulation?

710
00:28:50,033 --> 00:28:53,033
Yeah, I think it's religious and commercial Babylon.

711
00:28:53,083 --> 00:28:54,933
commercial in 17.

712
00:28:55,133 --> 00:28:56,933
Yeah, huge part of it, right?

713
00:28:56,983 --> 00:29:00,150
Yeah, like I said, 17 and 18 talk about the commercial

714
00:29:00,166 --> 00:29:03,333
 Babylon, but yeah, I think I think we're dealing with a pronouncement

715
00:29:03,349 --> 00:29:07,716
 of the fall of Babylon, religious and commercial.

716
00:29:07,783 --> 00:29:10,716
I mean, Babylon's where idolatry started, right?

717
00:29:10,783 --> 00:29:13,650
And it's Satan's headquarters is where it's going to be.

718
00:29:13,733 --> 00:29:16,066
Yeah, I'm just trying to make sense of the timeline of this.

719
00:29:16,133 --> 00:29:19,299
and I hate to skip forward,

720
00:29:19,299 --> 00:29:22,299
 but you got one preaching the

721
00:29:22,299 --> 00:29:25,049
 gospel, then you got another one saying falling is Babylon the great.

722
00:29:25,133 --> 00:29:29,033
Then you're going to have another one saying, don't accept the beast, the mark of the beast.

723
00:29:29,083 --> 00:29:32,383
And that order, it kind of makes

724
00:29:32,383 --> 00:29:35,433
 me think that verses 6 and 7 are back in like

725
00:29:35,450 --> 00:29:36,816
 the beginning of the tribulation.

726
00:29:36,883 --> 00:29:37,483
Yes, yeah.

727
00:29:37,549 --> 00:29:40,549
And then and then this this 2nd one is fallen, fallen,

728
00:29:40,549 --> 00:29:42,516
 Babylon, the great would be like in the mid.

729
00:29:42,583 --> 00:29:43,049
Right.

730
00:29:43,133 --> 00:29:43,599
Right.

731
00:29:43,599 --> 00:29:47,500
And along with the 3rd angel, which is

732
00:29:47,500 --> 00:29:51,266
 saying don't accept the mark, we would say that Mark don't come until the mid to.

733
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,716
to the midpoint of the tribulation.

734
00:29:52,783 --> 00:29:53,133
Yeah.

735
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,099
I mean, you know, and it may be, John may

736
00:29:57,099 --> 00:29:59,433
 be looking at like a, he may be like Elvis.

737
00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:00,816
He's got a bunch of TVs up there.

738
00:30:00,883 --> 00:30:04,049
He's looking, you know, I'm saying he's watching about 10 different things

739
00:30:04,066 --> 00:30:05,316
 going on at one time.

740
00:30:05,383 --> 00:30:06,633
He's like, okay, this is going on.

741
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:08,433
This is going on, this is going on.

742
00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:11,549
I think there's also the fact that

743
00:30:11,566 --> 00:30:13,900
 John is seeing this from eternity.

744
00:30:13,966 --> 00:30:16,966
He's seeing this from the viewpoint of eternity, right?

745
00:30:17,083 --> 00:30:20,250
Everything is happening at once.

746
00:30:20,333 --> 00:30:23,383
This whole thing, I honestly believe.

747
00:30:24,583 --> 00:30:27,700
And, uh, you know, maybe right, maybe wrong, but I really and

748
00:30:27,700 --> 00:30:30,933
 truly believe that when we get to heaven, when we when we're

749
00:30:30,950 --> 00:30:34,000
 there, when all this is going on, we're going to look up and we're

750
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,049
 going to see John standing there writing in a book, because I think he's

751
00:30:37,066 --> 00:30:40,900
 seeing from his perspective, I think he's seeing what he sees when this happens.

752
00:30:40,966 --> 00:30:44,916
future past, all that doesn't have any meaning anymore for him.

753
00:30:45,433 --> 00:30:48,583
And so what he's seeing is this kind of jumble of things.

754
00:30:48,650 --> 00:30:49,900
He knows kind of the order.

755
00:30:49,966 --> 00:30:53,016
And also, I'd be honest, I'm kind of wondering if this

756
00:30:53,033 --> 00:30:56,033
 isn't literally happening right as we're leading up to it, that

757
00:30:56,033 --> 00:30:59,150
 they're being, that the earth is being shown some things to

758
00:30:59,150 --> 00:31:02,450
 try and get people's attention before the next

759
00:31:02,450 --> 00:31:06,283
 series of events that are about to be described in a little bit, uh, as

760
00:31:06,283 --> 00:31:09,516
 a way of God getting their attention, that, that, they're seeing something

761
00:31:09,533 --> 00:31:10,849
 happening on Zion.

762
00:31:10,900 --> 00:31:12,333
They're seeing something happening there.

763
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,816
Maybe the loss don't know what it is, but the 144,000

764
00:31:15,833 --> 00:31:18,833
 note, that's the lamb right there, and he's about

765
00:31:18,833 --> 00:31:21,950
 to come back and it's about to be bad for y'all, and they're witnessing, and they're

766
00:31:21,950 --> 00:31:25,250
 telling, and then you got this angel flying over, and all these things being proclaimed,

767
00:31:25,250 --> 00:31:27,099
 and then people are still now.

768
00:31:27,166 --> 00:31:29,016
I think this is where they get the choice.

769
00:31:29,083 --> 00:31:32,083
The truly get the choice of do we accept or reject

770
00:31:32,083 --> 00:31:35,683
 that mark that's being that they've just announced is going to be handed out.

771
00:31:35,750 --> 00:31:38,750
I think the announcement of the mark is going to happen, and this angel is

772
00:31:38,750 --> 00:31:41,316
 going to come in, and these angels are just going to come in yelling.

773
00:31:41,383 --> 00:31:44,799
And everybody at that point will be given an undeniable

774
00:31:44,799 --> 00:31:48,099
 choice because there's no rubbernecking.

775
00:31:48,166 --> 00:31:51,033
When you get after this choice is made, that's it.

776
00:31:51,166 --> 00:31:53,500
You're sealing your fate for eternity.

777
00:31:53,566 --> 00:31:57,099
And I think God is going to make it so crystal clear.

778
00:31:57,166 --> 00:32:00,333
And I mean, that, this may may or may not be correct,

779
00:32:00,349 --> 00:32:04,299
 that's always been the way I've looked at these verses is this is stuff that people are seeing.

780
00:32:04,366 --> 00:32:07,416
The bee shows up and says, hey, if everybody will take this mark, this is going to happen and

781
00:32:07,433 --> 00:32:11,200
 all of a sudden there's something going on in Zion that's making people go, what is that?

782
00:32:11,266 --> 00:32:13,000
And then they're hearing these voices and they're hearing,

783
00:32:13,066 --> 00:32:14,500
don do it, don't do it, don't do it.

784
00:32:14,566 --> 00:32:17,616
And the people that choose when they get when they get to the

785
00:32:17,633 --> 00:32:20,150
 judgment later, it's going to be, you knew.

786
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,066
I mean, you can't deny that you didn't hear it.

787
00:32:23,150 --> 00:32:24,583
Exactly.

788
00:32:24,650 --> 00:32:27,650
I mean, and how else could they be without excuse if they didn't

789
00:32:27,650 --> 00:32:31,549
 truly have that choice made very plain at that point.

790
00:32:31,549 --> 00:32:33,766
With the Holy Spirit being gone, you don't have the guidance.

791
00:32:33,833 --> 00:32:34,783
You don't have that prodding.

792
00:32:34,849 --> 00:32:36,950
So it has to be a literal here, here.

793
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,299
It's the choice that people claim they want today.

794
00:32:40,366 --> 00:32:43,416
And it's like, no, because we know that a bunch

795
00:32:43,433 --> 00:32:44,450
 of people are still going to reject.

796
00:32:44,500 --> 00:32:47,250
You still, if you want this kind of proof, you're still going to reject.

797
00:32:47,333 --> 00:32:50,633
So you see where I'm coming from.

798
00:32:50,683 --> 00:32:51,583
It's confusing

799
00:32:51,700 --> 00:32:53,133
14 is... yeah.

800
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,266
I think probably 9 through 12 could be read together.

801
00:32:58,183 --> 00:33:01,299
if you want to, you stop where you want to, but I kind

802
00:33:01,299 --> 00:33:02,666
 of grouped them together here.

803
00:33:02,750 --> 00:33:05,016
There's a lot, lot going on.

804
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,666
Yeah, I had 9 through 11, but...

805
00:33:07,933 --> 00:33:08,983
Then another angel.

806
00:33:09,049 --> 00:33:11,016
A 3rd one followed them, same with a loud voice.

807
00:33:11,083 --> 00:33:14,383
If anyone worships the beast in his image and receives

808
00:33:14,383 --> 00:33:17,433
 a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also

809
00:33:17,450 --> 00:33:20,566
 will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which

810
00:33:20,566 --> 00:33:23,083
 is mixed in full strength in the cup of his anger.

811
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,366
And he will be tormented with fire and brimstone

812
00:33:26,383 --> 00:33:29,316
 in the presence of the lamb, and in the presence of the lamb.

813
00:33:29,383 --> 00:33:32,849
And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever.

814
00:33:32,933 --> 00:33:34,783
They have no rest day and night.

815
00:33:34,849 --> 00:33:38,683
Those who worship the beast in his image and whoever receives the mark of his name.

816
00:33:38,750 --> 00:33:41,799
Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep

817
00:33:41,799 --> 00:33:43,950
 the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.

818
00:33:44,033 --> 00:33:50,033
The undiluted wrath.

819
00:33:50,150 --> 00:33:53,566
That's what Jesus took on the cross.

820
00:33:53,633 --> 00:33:54,349
It is.

821
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:55,299
Yes, absolutely.

822
00:33:55,366 --> 00:33:57,633
When he said, let this cup pass from me.

823
00:33:57,650 --> 00:34:01,000
I believe that was the cup of the undiluted

824
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,316
 wrath of his father God that we deserved.

825
00:34:05,383 --> 00:34:07,650
But he took it upon himself.

826
00:34:07,733 --> 00:34:08,333
Amen.

827
00:34:08,383 --> 00:34:09,283
Yeah, yeah.

828
00:34:09,349 --> 00:34:13,666
So this

829
00:34:14,383 --> 00:34:17,849
 will be in the presence of Christ and his holy angels.

830
00:34:17,933 --> 00:34:22,300
So, uh, you know, will the

831
00:34:22,300 --> 00:34:24,150
 saints see what's going on on earth?

832
00:34:24,233 --> 00:34:27,283
Well, they...

833
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,233
I mean, if God is seeing what's going on, if the

834
00:34:31,250 --> 00:34:34,250
 angels are seeing what's going on, if this is

835
00:34:34,250 --> 00:34:37,416
 taking place in front of them, are

836
00:34:39,166 --> 00:34:41,016
 people in heaven seeing this too?

837
00:34:41,083 --> 00:34:42,099
What do you think?

838
00:34:42,166 --> 00:34:43,183
don't think so.

839
00:34:43,250 --> 00:34:43,849
Yeah.

840
00:34:43,966 --> 00:34:47,016
I think I think if we're

841
00:34:47,033 --> 00:34:50,083
 looking on loved ones suffering for eternity, we're not going to have a whole lot of joy.

842
00:34:50,150 --> 00:34:53,150
No, I believe that too, but then

843
00:34:53,150 --> 00:34:56,150
 but then we look at we look at a lot of the

844
00:34:56,150 --> 00:34:58,250
 tribulation saints after they die.

845
00:34:58,300 --> 00:35:02,133
They end up in heaven and they, and they're,

846
00:35:02,150 --> 00:35:05,199
 they're looking, they, I don't

847
00:35:05,199 --> 00:35:08,199
 know that they see what's going on, but they at least know

848
00:35:08,199 --> 00:35:11,199
 what's going on because they're, they're asking God like, hey,

849
00:35:11,199 --> 00:35:12,216
 when are you going to avenge us?

850
00:35:12,283 --> 00:35:14,250
When, when, when, or when?

851
00:35:14,333 --> 00:35:16,366
Are you going to, are you going to take care of these things?

852
00:35:16,433 --> 00:35:17,199
I don't know.

853
00:35:17,266 --> 00:35:18,699
You know, I don't know.

854
00:35:18,766 --> 00:35:19,783
It's another one of those things.

855
00:35:19,849 --> 00:35:21,050
It's hard to say.

856
00:35:21,099 --> 00:35:24,150
And I agree, heaven, you know,

857
00:35:24,166 --> 00:35:27,516
 do I think grandma and grandpa are down here looking at us right now trying

858
00:35:27,533 --> 00:35:29,266
 to, you know, I hope not.

859
00:35:29,333 --> 00:35:32,083
I hope they're more distracted, budgie.

860
00:35:32,150 --> 00:35:33,050
How they are too.

861
00:35:33,099 --> 00:35:36,150
But we all, but we also know that that towards the

862
00:35:36,166 --> 00:35:39,466
 end of this thing, uh, after,

863
00:35:39,466 --> 00:35:42,583
 um, of course, after uh, the the great

864
00:35:42,583 --> 00:35:46,233
 white throne of judgment, uh, man, we're we're crying after that.

865
00:35:46,300 --> 00:35:49,900
So I know we're seeing what's going on as far as the punishment then.

866
00:35:49,900 --> 00:35:52,650
And that's when every tear is wiped away.

867
00:35:52,733 --> 00:35:55,900
That's when the old become new

868
00:35:55,900 --> 00:35:59,616
 and everything that has been in the past is forgotten.

869
00:35:59,683 --> 00:36:00,216
Yeah.

870
00:36:00,233 --> 00:36:02,566
I think we have a perspective shift.

871
00:36:02,616 --> 00:36:05,016
Just during that point.

872
00:36:05,083 --> 00:36:08,199
Well, I mean, from the point where we get to

873
00:36:08,199 --> 00:36:11,416
 heaven onward, I think there's a, that we're, we are,

874
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,449
 our perspective, our way of viewing everything, our

875
00:36:15,466 --> 00:36:17,800
 way of seeing and understanding things is changing.

876
00:36:17,866 --> 00:36:20,916
And I honestly believe that at least

877
00:36:20,933 --> 00:36:24,050
 during the tribulation, because of the descriptions of all

878
00:36:24,050 --> 00:36:27,166
 of the conversations that are going on there, I

879
00:36:27,166 --> 00:36:30,166
 think everyone in heaven is able to is

880
00:36:30,166 --> 00:36:32,800
 aware in some way what's going on.

881
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,616
Now, is it actually physically seeing it?

882
00:36:35,683 --> 00:36:39,033
This is where I fall back on,

883
00:36:39,050 --> 00:36:42,283
 look, the difference between our spiritual selves in heaven

884
00:36:42,283 --> 00:36:45,750
 and these bodies we're in is so different.

885
00:36:45,883 --> 00:36:48,750
We can't imagine.

886
00:36:48,833 --> 00:36:50,333
We can't understand it.

887
00:36:50,383 --> 00:36:53,849
So it's a complete perspective change from our standpoint.

888
00:36:53,933 --> 00:36:56,383
So yeah, I think we're we're fully aware.

889
00:36:56,449 --> 00:36:58,666
We're going to have the mind of what's going on at that time.

890
00:36:58,733 --> 00:37:01,783
So we can see further, farther than

891
00:37:01,783 --> 00:37:03,333
 we can right now.

892
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,449
So if we looked at it from our perspective in this point

893
00:37:06,466 --> 00:37:08,800
 in this place, then it would be terrible.

894
00:37:08,866 --> 00:37:11,866
But if we look at it that we know the ultimate

895
00:37:11,866 --> 00:37:15,033
 end of this thing and that God is going to clear all this up and

896
00:37:15,050 --> 00:37:18,766
 that one day we are, we're going to forget all this and we'll never remember it again.

897
00:37:18,833 --> 00:37:22,066
I think it may be a little bit similar to, you know, the beggar

898
00:37:22,066 --> 00:37:23,083
 in Abraham's bosom.

899
00:37:23,150 --> 00:37:25,250
You know, the chasm fixed and that kind of stuff.

900
00:37:25,300 --> 00:37:29,733
We may not see individuals and their suffering, but we'll know that's over there.

901
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:30,633
Yeah, yeah.

902
00:37:30,699 --> 00:37:31,300
Right.

903
00:37:31,366 --> 00:37:34,599
And this is this is proof positive that that

904
00:37:34,599 --> 00:37:38,316
 when it comes to eternal torment, it's eternal,

905
00:37:38,333 --> 00:37:39,400
 right?

906
00:37:39,466 --> 00:37:42,466
For one thing, you know, and there were there were a red

907
00:37:42,466 --> 00:37:46,416
 where there were about 19 references to eternal

908
00:37:46,433 --> 00:37:50,449
 torment in the New Testament, and Jesus used them 12 times.

909
00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:51,633
Yeah, yeah.

910
00:37:51,699 --> 00:37:52,900
Right.

911
00:37:52,966 --> 00:37:57,166
You talk about foxhole atheists,

912
00:37:57,166 --> 00:37:58,716
 you know, there's no such thing, right?

913
00:37:58,783 --> 00:38:00,933
Jesus used fear.

914
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:01,766
Absolutely.

915
00:38:01,783 --> 00:38:05,133
Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom like we talked about in the men's meeting.

916
00:38:05,199 --> 00:38:05,800
Sunday morning.

917
00:38:05,866 --> 00:38:06,633
Yeah, yeah.

918
00:38:06,699 --> 00:38:09,816
Like you said, the rich man and Lazarus, the rich man said if

919
00:38:09,833 --> 00:38:12,650
 I could just, if I could just go tell my brothers, right?

920
00:38:12,699 --> 00:38:13,833
If I could just go back.

921
00:38:13,900 --> 00:38:16,900
So he, he, he had an awareness of what

922
00:38:16,900 --> 00:38:20,066
 was uh, what his eternity was and what their eternity would be.

923
00:38:20,150 --> 00:38:22,783
Yeah, I think there's still a consciousness there.

924
00:38:22,849 --> 00:38:24,516
Oh, absolutely.

925
00:38:24,583 --> 00:38:25,599
We're conscious.

926
00:38:25,666 --> 00:38:28,366
We are we are aware and so are so are they.

927
00:38:28,433 --> 00:38:32,033
But yeah, I think there's a perspective shift for us.

928
00:38:32,083 --> 00:38:35,250
But speaking of that, fear, yeah, go back to the very 1st

929
00:38:35,266 --> 00:38:38,566
 gospel, the 14 seven, fear God and

930
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,800
 give him glory because the hour of his judgment has arrived and

931
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,750
 worship the one who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and the spring of water.

932
00:38:45,833 --> 00:38:48,949
I mean, it's undeniable that it

933
00:38:48,949 --> 00:38:53,083
 starts out with fear with that reverence with that that justifiable,

934
00:38:53,083 --> 00:38:56,800
 holy, honest fear of God

935
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,066
 because he is our creator.

936
00:38:59,150 --> 00:39:02,150
There's a there's a respect there that comes from

937
00:39:02,150 --> 00:39:03,283
 fear.

938
00:39:03,349 --> 00:39:05,683
And not, oh, don't step on me.

939
00:39:05,750 --> 00:39:08,016
It's, oh, you're the one that made me.

940
00:39:08,083 --> 00:39:09,699
You brought me into the world.

941
00:39:09,766 --> 00:39:10,416
You can take me out.

942
00:39:10,483 --> 00:39:12,333
It's that kind of a respectful fear.

943
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,016
It's just, it's for an unbeliever.

944
00:39:14,083 --> 00:39:14,800
ought to be a terror.

945
00:39:14,866 --> 00:39:15,216
Yes.

946
00:39:15,283 --> 00:39:16,233
Yeah, absolutely.

947
00:39:16,300 --> 00:39:16,833
Absolutely

948
00:39:17,033 --> 00:39:18,583
God's wrath.

949
00:39:18,650 --> 00:39:21,050
I mean Jesus didn't want it.

950
00:39:21,099 --> 00:39:24,150
I mean, he accepted it and he accepted his

951
00:39:24,166 --> 00:39:26,866
 job and knew that he was the only one that could do it.

952
00:39:26,933 --> 00:39:28,483
But did he want it?

953
00:39:28,550 --> 00:39:30,400
I mean, he said Matthew 26, 39.

954
00:39:30,583 --> 00:39:31,349
He went a little further.

955
00:39:31,433 --> 00:39:34,666
He fell on his face and he prayed, saying, oh, my father, if it

956
00:39:34,666 --> 00:39:36,766
 be possible, let this cut pass for me.

957
00:39:36,833 --> 00:39:39,933
Nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

958
00:39:40,550 --> 00:39:42,816
I think there's 2 things that we have to see there.

959
00:39:42,883 --> 00:39:45,883
One, um, uh, the

960
00:39:45,883 --> 00:39:49,050
 cup, the cup of, uh, of wrath that

961
00:39:49,066 --> 00:39:50,916
 he was talking about, let this cup pass for me.

962
00:39:50,983 --> 00:39:54,216
Again, I think it was the cup of wrath that was poured

963
00:39:54,233 --> 00:39:57,283
 out of him on him on Calvary's Cross and the cup of wrath

964
00:39:57,283 --> 00:40:00,283
 that we'll see here poured out without mixture.

965
00:40:00,349 --> 00:40:03,416
But I also, do

966
00:40:04,133 --> 00:40:06,650
 I think that Jesus thought that there was another way?

967
00:40:06,699 --> 00:40:08,666
No, I don't think so.

968
00:40:08,750 --> 00:40:12,050
I think I think Matthew 2639 is to

969
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:14,266
 show us that there wasn't another way.

970
00:40:14,333 --> 00:40:18,883
Jesus knew that and he's like, look, guys, if

971
00:40:18,883 --> 00:40:21,883
 there was another way, I would do it, if there was another way, we would, God

972
00:40:21,883 --> 00:40:24,933
 would have it that way, but there's not another way,

973
00:40:24,949 --> 00:40:27,583
 and we have to let God's will be done here.

974
00:40:27,650 --> 00:40:29,016
Well, and it was a message.

975
00:40:29,083 --> 00:40:30,516
It was a message to his disciples.

976
00:40:30,583 --> 00:40:31,833
to his friends.

977
00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:32,916
I mean, goodness.

978
00:40:32,983 --> 00:40:35,500
He referred to them as his friends more than once.

979
00:40:35,566 --> 00:40:37,599
And he's been traveling with them for 3 years.

980
00:40:37,666 --> 00:40:40,716
And he's wanting them to know if there was

981
00:40:40,733 --> 00:40:43,783
 any other way than what you, what they're about

982
00:40:43,783 --> 00:40:46,000
 to experience and what they're about to see and witness.

983
00:40:46,066 --> 00:40:49,300
And, I mean, he knew, he knew that what happened, he's

984
00:40:49,300 --> 00:40:52,300
 going to be suffering the brunt of it and taking all of that

985
00:40:52,300 --> 00:40:55,716
 pain and all of that, the pain of sin and all of that on him.

986
00:40:55,783 --> 00:40:58,833
But at the end of the day, he knows it's going to hurt his friends.

987
00:40:58,900 --> 00:41:02,733
He knows that they're going to have to stand there and watch him go through this.

988
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,266
He knows their pain.

989
00:41:06,349 --> 00:41:07,366
He understands it.

990
00:41:07,433 --> 00:41:10,483
He he sees everything in a way

991
00:41:10,483 --> 00:41:11,733
 that we just do not.

992
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,800
When it says that, you know, we talk about the scripture

993
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,966
 of Jesus wept, he can see and experience and feel and

994
00:41:17,983 --> 00:41:19,349
 be aware of our pain.

995
00:41:19,366 --> 00:41:22,116
And he knows what his friends are about to go through and he wanted.

996
00:41:22,433 --> 00:41:25,783
I honestly believe that prayer was more for them than it was really

997
00:41:25,783 --> 00:41:26,849
 so much for himself.

998
00:41:26,933 --> 00:41:29,266
He was saying, if there was any other way, guys.

999
00:41:29,333 --> 00:41:32,333
There was any other chance, I would not

1000
00:41:32,333 --> 00:41:34,966
 go and do what I'm about to do, but there's no choice.

1001
00:41:35,033 --> 00:41:37,066
And he's giving them hope.

1002
00:41:37,133 --> 00:41:38,633
He's giving them hope.

1003
00:41:38,750 --> 00:41:40,599
There is a reason for this happening, boys.

1004
00:41:40,666 --> 00:41:42,333
He's taking them back to John 14.

1005
00:41:42,583 --> 00:41:43,783
I'm the way the truth in the life.

1006
00:41:43,849 --> 00:41:45,883
No one comes to the father but by me.

1007
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,199
absolutely.

1008
00:41:47,266 --> 00:41:48,583
And that was what he was saying.

1009
00:41:48,650 --> 00:41:49,483
This is it.

1010
00:41:49,550 --> 00:41:50,083
I'm the only way

1011
00:41:50,266 --> 00:41:51,466
I'm the only one that came.

1012
00:41:51,583 --> 00:41:53,733
And he said all along, yeah, this is why I came into the world.

1013
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,433
You know, that's why he got on to Peter's to get behind me, Satan.

1014
00:41:56,500 --> 00:41:57,033
That's it.

1015
00:41:57,099 --> 00:41:57,333
Yeah.

1016
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:58,300
Yeah, right.

1017
00:41:58,366 --> 00:42:00,766
Because Peter's like, surely you won't die.

1018
00:42:00,833 --> 00:42:01,666
Yeah, yeah.

1019
00:42:01,733 --> 00:42:03,583
This is what I came for.

1020
00:42:03,650 --> 00:42:07,250
That's why that's why the ointment that

1021
00:42:07,250 --> 00:42:09,949
 Mary placed it on his feet.

1022
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,050
you know, was so precious because

1023
00:42:13,066 --> 00:42:16,066
 he was trying

1024
00:42:16,066 --> 00:42:18,816
 to give everybody an understanding of what was about to happen, right?

1025
00:42:18,883 --> 00:42:19,900
He was about to go to the cross.

1026
00:42:19,966 --> 00:42:20,566
He was about to die.

1027
00:42:20,633 --> 00:42:23,866
Yeah, while they're while they're over here just flipping

1028
00:42:23,866 --> 00:42:27,633
 out over the cost of it, and he's like, you don't understand what she just did, guys.

1029
00:42:27,699 --> 00:42:28,650
Yeah.

1030
00:42:28,666 --> 00:42:30,583
She just anointed me for my burial.

1031
00:42:30,699 --> 00:42:34,233
And everything else that he did was just, I

1032
00:42:34,250 --> 00:42:36,216
 mean, it was just extra, right?

1033
00:42:36,283 --> 00:42:38,199
The miracles that he worked.

1034
00:42:38,266 --> 00:42:40,416
I mean, yes, he was proving who he was.

1035
00:42:40,483 --> 00:42:43,833
He was proving he was God in human flesh, of course,

1036
00:42:43,849 --> 00:42:46,849
 but the words that he preached,

1037
00:42:46,849 --> 00:42:50,449
 all the things that he done while he was here was just icing on the cake.

1038
00:42:50,500 --> 00:42:50,966
Oh, yeah.

1039
00:42:50,983 --> 00:42:52,233
All the things he did.

1040
00:42:52,300 --> 00:42:55,599
something that blows me away about him, is all the things that he did.

1041
00:42:55,666 --> 00:42:56,800
He walked on water.

1042
00:42:56,866 --> 00:42:57,816
He raised the dead.

1043
00:42:57,883 --> 00:43:01,050
He did all his stuff and the Pharisees and

1044
00:43:01,066 --> 00:43:02,383
 Sadducees kept going, what?

1045
00:43:02,449 --> 00:43:03,099
Show us a sign.

1046
00:43:03,166 --> 00:43:03,916
Yeah, yeah.

1047
00:43:05,433 --> 00:43:05,750
Right.

1048
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:06,400
Yeah.

1049
00:43:06,466 --> 00:43:07,066
What?

1050
00:43:07,133 --> 00:43:08,033
How'd you miss that?

1051
00:43:08,033 --> 00:43:09,949
500,000 of them, I just did.

1052
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:10,599
Exactly.

1053
00:43:10,666 --> 00:43:11,133
Exactly.

1054
00:43:11,266 --> 00:43:14,266
If you weren't there to see it, then you had

1055
00:43:14,266 --> 00:43:16,966
 to hear about it because it was the bus.

1056
00:43:17,033 --> 00:43:18,099
It was a rock star.

1057
00:43:18,166 --> 00:43:18,816
It was the bus.

1058
00:43:18,883 --> 00:43:22,533
Like, I mean, you know, and we

1059
00:43:22,550 --> 00:43:26,016
 see that when he was walking with the 2

1060
00:43:26,033 --> 00:43:29,383
 men on the road to a mess, we know

1061
00:43:29,383 --> 00:43:32,433
 that everybody knew of what had happened, right?

1062
00:43:32,500 --> 00:43:35,849
The crucifixion, the rest of the way they

1063
00:43:35,866 --> 00:43:36,883
 knew the body was gone.

1064
00:43:36,949 --> 00:43:40,000
But when they Jesus was trying to kind of

1065
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,000
 pull it out of him, you know, he was walking along with them, he was asking them questions

1066
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,916
 and they're like, have you not seen?

1067
00:43:44,983 --> 00:43:47,733
Have you not heard that, you know, this man, Jesus, he died.

1068
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,016
The whole world's heard about this.

1069
00:43:50,083 --> 00:43:50,500
Yeah.

1070
00:43:50,566 --> 00:43:51,216
Yeah, yeah.

1071
00:43:51,349 --> 00:43:53,449
Well, and think think think about it.

1072
00:43:53,500 --> 00:43:56,849
You talk about the Pharisees and Sadducees getting so,

1073
00:43:56,866 --> 00:43:58,966
 you know, show us a sign, show us a sign.

1074
00:43:59,033 --> 00:44:01,849
and then you have I mean, there's a reason they got so angry with Stephen.

1075
00:44:01,900 --> 00:44:05,250
You know, we talk about him being full of the Holy Spirit in Acts

1076
00:44:05,266 --> 00:44:07,116
 7, uh, chapter 7, verse 51.

1077
00:44:07,300 --> 00:44:10,599
He says, you stubborn, stubborn people with uncircumcised hearts and ears.

1078
00:44:10,666 --> 00:44:13,966
You were always resisting the Holy Spirit like your ancestors did.

1079
00:44:14,033 --> 00:44:16,666
Which of the prophets did your ancestors not persecute?

1080
00:44:16,733 --> 00:44:19,783
They killed those who foretold long ago the coming of the

1081
00:44:19,783 --> 00:44:24,033
 righteous one whose betrayers and murderers you have now become.

1082
00:44:24,099 --> 00:44:27,516
I mean, he's on trial for blasphemy.

1083
00:44:27,583 --> 00:44:30,816
He looks at him and says, you're the blasphemous looking around for a rock.

1084
00:44:30,883 --> 00:44:34,533
I mean, and goodness, no wonder they got it so bad because what are they supposed to say?

1085
00:44:34,599 --> 00:44:35,966
Well, no, we didn't know.

1086
00:44:36,050 --> 00:44:37,300
It's like, yeah, you did.

1087
00:44:37,366 --> 00:44:40,416
You knew you knew what you were doing and

1088
00:44:40,433 --> 00:44:43,366
 you didn't want to let go of the little power base you had built for yourself.

1089
00:44:43,433 --> 00:44:44,683
Yeah, Jesus said something.

1090
00:44:44,750 --> 00:44:45,816
I'm going to tell them too, you know?

1091
00:44:45,883 --> 00:44:46,833
Oh, yeah, you did.

1092
00:44:46,966 --> 00:44:49,599
Your fathers are the ones that kill the prophets, you know?

1093
00:44:49,666 --> 00:44:50,616
That's exactly right.

1094
00:44:50,683 --> 00:44:51,883
Oh boy.

1095
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,066
Bunch of vipers, right?

1096
00:44:53,199 --> 00:44:56,916
And that's exactly what we're seeing that

1097
00:44:56,933 --> 00:45:00,283
 same kind of attitude here that these people are following and they're

1098
00:45:00,283 --> 00:45:02,733
 falling behind this guy going, well, you know, none of that was real.

1099
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:03,699
None of that.

1100
00:45:03,766 --> 00:45:07,300
Look at the signs I can give, all that that you've heard about.

1101
00:45:07,366 --> 00:45:08,199
You never saw it.

1102
00:45:08,266 --> 00:45:09,699
You never witnessed it.

1103
00:45:09,766 --> 00:45:11,733
And then the whole world starts shaking.

1104
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,650
Do not take the mark of the beast.

1105
00:45:13,733 --> 00:45:16,849
This is gonna lead to judgment and suffering for you,

1106
00:45:16,849 --> 00:45:18,816
 and the wrath of God's gonna be poured out, and they go,

1107
00:45:19,933 --> 00:45:23,333
Well, you know, Lord, if he, well, if God didn't want to do this, he'd show us sign.

1108
00:45:23,383 --> 00:45:25,183
Well, yeah, but I don't have to remember my passwords anymore.

1109
00:45:25,250 --> 00:45:28,300
Yeah, I've got

1110
00:45:28,300 --> 00:45:31,466
 14 different passwords and I have to change them every 6 months.

1111
00:45:31,550 --> 00:45:33,216
don't have to do that anymore.

1112
00:45:33,283 --> 00:45:36,583
Yeah, the whole earth started shaking with this angel yelling

1113
00:45:36,583 --> 00:45:38,016
 at you and you go, well.

1114
00:45:38,383 --> 00:45:40,116
I can't remember my pen.

1115
00:45:40,183 --> 00:45:43,949
No more authentication for me.

1116
00:45:44,033 --> 00:45:44,683
I'm just gonna...

1117
00:45:45,933 --> 00:45:50,150
Oh, we

1118
00:45:50,150 --> 00:45:52,250
 laugh, but that's, man, it's gonna make it easier.

1119
00:45:52,300 --> 00:45:52,833
It is.

1120
00:45:52,900 --> 00:45:53,366
It is.

1121
00:45:53,383 --> 00:45:55,533
And that's what's coming up.

1122
00:45:55,599 --> 00:45:57,333
You know, people that don't take the easy way out.

1123
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:58,766
Yeah, yeah.

1124
00:45:58,849 --> 00:46:00,349
They're going to take the hard way out.

1125
00:46:00,466 --> 00:46:02,133
But it's going to be worth it, right?

1126
00:46:02,199 --> 00:46:03,750
The hard way's going to be worth it.

1127
00:46:03,833 --> 00:46:04,183
Oh yeah.

1128
00:46:04,250 --> 00:46:06,166
13?

1129
00:46:06,166 --> 00:46:06,583
13?

1130
00:46:06,583 --> 00:46:07,483
13?

1131
00:46:07,550 --> 00:46:10,550
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, right, blessed

1132
00:46:10,550 --> 00:46:13,783
 are the dead, which die, and the Lord from henceforth, yea,

1133
00:46:13,783 --> 00:46:17,133
 saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors,

1134
00:46:17,150 --> 00:46:19,066
 and their works do follow them.

1135
00:46:19,133 --> 00:46:21,233
This is tribulation saints, right?

1136
00:46:21,283 --> 00:46:23,016
And they're more than willing to die.

1137
00:46:23,083 --> 00:46:24,699
They're more than willing to die.

1138
00:46:24,766 --> 00:46:26,616
the verse before that, the perseverance of the saints.

1139
00:46:26,750 --> 00:46:29,150
Keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.

1140
00:46:29,150 --> 00:46:29,616
Amen.

1141
00:46:29,683 --> 00:46:30,699
And these are born again people.

1142
00:46:30,766 --> 00:46:31,366
They are.

1143
00:46:31,433 --> 00:46:34,483
And they choose to live like Hebrews 11.

1144
00:46:34,733 --> 00:46:35,500
They do, right?

1145
00:46:35,566 --> 00:46:35,866
Yeah.

1146
00:46:35,933 --> 00:46:37,250
Hiding out in caves.

1147
00:46:37,250 --> 00:46:38,316
Yes, absolutely.

1148
00:46:38,383 --> 00:46:40,833
Hunting rabbits and eating whatever they can find.

1149
00:46:40,849 --> 00:46:43,849
Trusting that what these 144,000 have

1150
00:46:43,849 --> 00:46:46,849
 preached and what these angels have preached, that this is the truth

1151
00:46:46,849 --> 00:46:50,683
 and that it's worth it to die from my faith.

1152
00:46:50,750 --> 00:46:51,216
Yeah.

1153
00:46:51,349 --> 00:46:54,349
And what's funny, I think there will be a ton of them.

1154
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,066
I think there will be a bunch.

1155
00:46:56,150 --> 00:46:59,266
You look at, look, where the, where Christians are persecuted most

1156
00:46:59,266 --> 00:47:00,699
 is where the church grows the fastest.

1157
00:47:00,766 --> 00:47:01,366
Oh, yeah.

1158
00:47:01,433 --> 00:47:01,733
Oh, yeah.

1159
00:47:01,849 --> 00:47:02,800
Oh yeah.

1160
00:47:02,866 --> 00:47:03,816
Yeah, going.

1161
00:47:03,883 --> 00:47:05,849
I think it's what, is it 8.13?

1162
00:47:05,933 --> 00:47:07,900
We looked, let's see.

1163
00:47:08,033 --> 00:47:10,900
Let me go back and see if I can find it here.

1164
00:47:11,033 --> 00:47:15,349
Yeah, eight.

1165
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,416
And behold,

1166
00:47:18,683 --> 00:47:21,466
 I heard angel fly through the midst of heaven, same with a loud voice.

1167
00:47:21,533 --> 00:47:25,133
Whoa, whoa, whoa, into the habitators of the earth, the voices of the trumpets of the three.

1168
00:47:25,183 --> 00:47:26,800
And I was sitting, that's not the one I was looking for.

1169
00:47:26,866 --> 00:47:30,416
I'm looking for the one that said the other one that says that

1170
00:47:30,883 --> 00:47:33,883
 they look in, there's every tribe, every tongue, every

1171
00:47:33,883 --> 00:47:34,949
 kindred, every nation.

1172
00:47:35,033 --> 00:47:38,383
I mean, we know that there's going to be a...

1173
00:47:38,449 --> 00:47:40,366
Seven, I think, is where it's at.

1174
00:47:40,433 --> 00:47:40,933
Okay, okay.

1175
00:47:41,433 --> 00:47:42,466
Verse nine.

1176
00:47:42,533 --> 00:47:45,583
After these things, I looked and behold, a great multitude, which no one could

1177
00:47:45,583 --> 00:47:48,633
 count from every nation in all tribes and peoples and tongues standing

1178
00:47:48,650 --> 00:47:51,816
 before the throne and before the lamb, clothed in white robes

1179
00:47:51,833 --> 00:47:53,333
 and palm branches were in their hands.

1180
00:47:55,300 --> 00:47:58,300
Yeah, so I think I think, like

1181
00:47:58,300 --> 00:48:01,300
 I said, is it going to be hard to trust Christ in this?

1182
00:48:01,366 --> 00:48:02,566
Of course it is.

1183
00:48:02,633 --> 00:48:06,650
And I don't want to give anybody the indication that like, hey, if I don't accept him now,

1184
00:48:06,699 --> 00:48:07,900
It's just going to be great.

1185
00:48:07,966 --> 00:48:09,166
I'll just do it then, you know.

1186
00:48:09,233 --> 00:48:12,883
Number one, you don't know if you're going to live until tribulation, right?

1187
00:48:12,949 --> 00:48:16,183
And number two, you don't

1188
00:48:16,183 --> 00:48:19,183
 understand what it's going to be like, time to make the choice of, hey, I'm going

1189
00:48:19,183 --> 00:48:22,416
 to let my three-year-old starve to death and the rest of my family or

1190
00:48:22,433 --> 00:48:26,150
 I'm going to take the mark of the beast and live and then I'll

1191
00:48:26,150 --> 00:48:27,949
 spend hell spend hell in eternity.

1192
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:28,766
Yeah, yeah.

1193
00:48:28,849 --> 00:48:31,366
It's not going to be, it's not going to be easy.

1194
00:48:31,433 --> 00:48:32,266
No, be easy.

1195
00:48:32,333 --> 00:48:35,750
No, but I do want to say that accepting this mark,

1196
00:48:35,750 --> 00:48:37,416
 I believe, will be 100% voluntary.

1197
00:48:37,483 --> 00:48:40,416
I think there are people that think, oh, what if I get tricked into it?

1198
00:48:40,483 --> 00:48:44,383
What if I just, I don't want to get a debit card because that might be the mark of the beast, right?

1199
00:48:44,449 --> 00:48:45,166
I don't want to get this.

1200
00:48:45,233 --> 00:48:46,900
I don't get the vaccine for COVID.

1201
00:48:46,966 --> 00:48:47,800
to get this or that.

1202
00:48:47,866 --> 00:48:49,416
They're tricking me.

1203
00:48:49,483 --> 00:48:50,983
Well, that's not going to be the case.

1204
00:48:51,050 --> 00:48:52,483
No, they'll be without excuse.

1205
00:48:52,550 --> 00:48:55,550
I think it's like Tyler was saying before that it's going to be, it's

1206
00:48:55,550 --> 00:48:56,916
 going to be, they're hearing this over here.

1207
00:48:56,983 --> 00:49:00,033
Like, you need to take the mark of the beast, you know, or that's not what they're

1208
00:49:00,050 --> 00:49:03,216
 going to call it, but you need to take this and this is going to work.

1209
00:49:03,283 --> 00:49:04,416
Hey, they might just call it that.

1210
00:49:04,483 --> 00:49:05,083
Who knows?

1211
00:49:05,083 --> 00:49:06,099
Make it pretty bold.

1212
00:49:06,166 --> 00:49:06,883
yeah.

1213
00:49:07,183 --> 00:49:10,733
But, you know, if you want to eat, this is what you're going to have to do if you want

1214
00:49:10,733 --> 00:49:13,066
 to have food, if you want to have shelter.

1215
00:49:13,133 --> 00:49:15,233
If you want your kids to live, it's what you're going to have to do.

1216
00:49:15,283 --> 00:49:18,400
And then you know, you're going to have these 144,000

1217
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,250
 going, no, no, you don't want to do this.

1218
00:49:20,333 --> 00:49:22,666
So we've already, we've already read about this.

1219
00:49:22,733 --> 00:49:25,066
We've already been told what's going to happen here.

1220
00:49:25,133 --> 00:49:27,283
This is what's going to happen if you do this.

1221
00:49:27,349 --> 00:49:30,400
And so I think, I think they're going to, they're going to have

1222
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,633
 all the information that they need to make the choice that they need to make.

1223
00:49:33,699 --> 00:49:35,616
just like we do today, right?

1224
00:49:35,683 --> 00:49:38,683
We know that we can choose heaven or we can choose hell.

1225
00:49:38,750 --> 00:49:41,983
He's given us the free gift of salvation, and

1226
00:49:41,983 --> 00:49:44,983
 we hear the gospel, and we know that what that entails and

1227
00:49:44,983 --> 00:49:48,099
 what that means, or that we can choose to live the life that

1228
00:49:48,099 --> 00:49:50,500
 we want to live and spend eternity in hell.

1229
00:49:50,566 --> 00:49:53,916
Right, and I think the Holy Spirit will really open those tribulation

1230
00:49:53,933 --> 00:49:55,483
 saints eyes to the revelation too.

1231
00:49:55,599 --> 00:49:56,733
Oh, yeah.

1232
00:49:56,750 --> 00:50:00,099
You know, like Daniel has just, it was sealed until the end times.

1233
00:50:00,166 --> 00:50:03,166
And I think in the last 100 years, it has really been

1234
00:50:03,166 --> 00:50:05,500
 opened up, especially in the last 50.

1235
00:50:05,683 --> 00:50:07,599
What's been since now been revealed?

1236
00:50:07,666 --> 00:50:08,683
Yeah, yeah.

1237
00:50:08,750 --> 00:50:11,800
And I think I think the folks living through this stuff will

1238
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,199
 be able to read the Revelation in a whole different line than we do.

1239
00:50:14,266 --> 00:50:14,733
Yeah.

1240
00:50:14,750 --> 00:50:15,283
Yeah.

1241
00:50:15,349 --> 00:50:15,699
Amen.

1242
00:50:15,766 --> 00:50:17,083
They're living it.

1243
00:50:17,150 --> 00:50:18,166
Yeah absolutely.

1244
00:50:18,233 --> 00:50:19,133
Absolutely.

1245
00:50:19,183 --> 00:50:19,416
Absolutely

1246
00:50:20,566 --> 00:50:23,733
What we got?

1247
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:24,816
14?

1248
00:50:24,833 --> 00:50:25,300
14?

1249
00:50:25,366 --> 00:50:29,733
14, we're

1250
00:50:29,750 --> 00:50:30,816
 going to do through 16?

1251
00:50:30,883 --> 00:50:31,183
Sure.

1252
00:50:31,250 --> 00:50:34,300
Then I looked and behold, a white cloud and sitting on

1253
00:50:34,300 --> 00:50:37,599
 the cloud is one like a son of a man, having a golden

1254
00:50:37,599 --> 00:50:41,133
 crown in his head and a sharp sickle in his hand, and another

1255
00:50:41,150 --> 00:50:44,266
 angel came out of the temple, crying out with a loud voice to him who

1256
00:50:44,266 --> 00:50:47,433
 sat on the cloud, put in your sickle and reap for the hour to

1257
00:50:47,449 --> 00:50:50,266
 reap is come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe.

1258
00:50:50,383 --> 00:50:53,683
Then he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle

1259
00:50:53,683 --> 00:50:55,949
 over the earth and the earth was reaped.

1260
00:50:56,033 --> 00:50:57,166
You know what?

1261
00:50:57,233 --> 00:51:02,449
The 1st thing I thought about when I read that is Jesus walked on water.

1262
00:51:02,500 --> 00:51:04,116
He can ride a cloud.

1263
00:51:04,183 --> 00:51:04,916
Yeah.

1264
00:51:05,933 --> 00:51:06,183
Yeah.

1265
00:51:06,949 --> 00:51:10,599
That's exactly right.

1266
00:51:10,666 --> 00:51:11,199
Yeah.

1267
00:51:11,266 --> 00:51:13,300
He can do anything he wants to do.

1268
00:51:13,366 --> 00:51:13,783
right.

1269
00:51:13,849 --> 00:51:14,150
Yeah.

1270
00:51:14,199 --> 00:51:17,849
So this is the Lord Jesus Christ in glory and power.

1271
00:51:17,933 --> 00:51:21,050
We need to understand that this

1272
00:51:21,050 --> 00:51:24,166
 is a glimpse of, it's kind of a glimpse of his 2nd

1273
00:51:24,166 --> 00:51:26,199
 coming and he's coming in judgment.

1274
00:51:26,266 --> 00:51:28,300
This is this is judgment here.

1275
00:51:28,366 --> 00:51:29,316
Matthew 2430.

1276
00:51:29,633 --> 00:51:32,633
And then shall appear the son of the sign of the

1277
00:51:32,633 --> 00:51:33,766
 son of man in heaven.

1278
00:51:33,833 --> 00:51:36,833
And then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,

1279
00:51:36,833 --> 00:51:39,833
 and they shall see the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven

1280
00:51:39,833 --> 00:51:41,150
 with power and with great glory.

1281
00:51:41,266 --> 00:51:44,266
So there's going to be judgment

1282
00:51:44,266 --> 00:51:47,983
 against those who will not turn to Christ and who

1283
00:51:47,983 --> 00:51:51,333
 persecuted, who persecuted the church.

1284
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,166
I mean, or persecuted the saints.

1285
00:51:53,433 --> 00:51:56,633
And again, Matthew's gospel gives us a picture

1286
00:51:56,633 --> 00:51:59,983
 of that in chapter 13, verse 40 and 42, is

1287
00:51:59,983 --> 00:52:03,216
 therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire,

1288
00:52:03,233 --> 00:52:05,566
 so shall it be in the end of this world.

1289
00:52:05,633 --> 00:52:08,750
The Son of Man shall send forth his angels, and they

1290
00:52:08,750 --> 00:52:12,349
 shall gather out of his kingdom all the things that offend,

1291
00:52:12,349 --> 00:52:15,466
 and them which do iniquity and shall cast them

1292
00:52:15,466 --> 00:52:19,416
 into the furnace of fire, there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

1293
00:52:19,483 --> 00:52:22,599
So we see we see

1294
00:52:22,599 --> 00:52:26,066
 some pictures here in Matthew 13, uh, that,

1295
00:52:26,083 --> 00:52:29,616
 uh, we, we're sowers, not reapers.

1296
00:52:29,933 --> 00:52:33,466
The reaping will come and Christ will he

1297
00:52:33,466 --> 00:52:35,266
 will do that with his angels.

1298
00:52:35,333 --> 00:52:38,333
But Matthew 1339,

1299
00:52:38,333 --> 00:52:41,866
 the enemy that showed them is the devil, the harvest is the end.

1300
00:52:41,933 --> 00:52:45,533
The harvest is the end of the world and the reapers are the angels.

1301
00:52:45,583 --> 00:52:48,633
I was looking at Matthew

1302
00:52:48,650 --> 00:52:51,699
 13 back in 30 in the original parable, you

1303
00:52:51,699 --> 00:52:53,800
 know, you read the explanation where he explains it.

1304
00:52:53,866 --> 00:52:56,266
But in the original parable when he 1st says it.

1305
00:52:56,333 --> 00:52:59,383
He says, uh, uh, talking about the tears and the wheat

1306
00:52:59,383 --> 00:53:02,433
 that somebody poisoned his wheat with, allow both to grow

1307
00:53:02,449 --> 00:53:05,449
 together until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest, I will say to

1308
00:53:05,449 --> 00:53:08,566
 the reapers, 1st gather up the tears and bind

1309
00:53:08,566 --> 00:53:11,683
 them in bundles to burn them up, but gather the wheat into my barn.

1310
00:53:11,750 --> 00:53:12,516
Yeah, yeah.

1311
00:53:12,583 --> 00:53:15,633
So the tears go 1st and that's where I

1312
00:53:15,650 --> 00:53:19,000
 get a little confused on this too, because you just

1313
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,000
 read this just at a distance and it looks like this

1314
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,166
 looks like the rapture.

1315
00:53:23,433 --> 00:53:24,533
Yeah, right.

1316
00:53:24,583 --> 00:53:25,233
Yeah, yeah.

1317
00:53:25,300 --> 00:53:28,949
But I think, you know, when we look at it, we look at thrust

1318
00:53:28,966 --> 00:53:32,016
 it in the sickle and we look at, uh, you know,

1319
00:53:32,033 --> 00:53:35,083
 kind of what that what that means there, uh, joy chapter

1320
00:53:35,083 --> 00:53:38,133
 3, uh, verse 13 and 14, put you

1321
00:53:38,150 --> 00:53:39,883
 in the sickle for the harvest is right.

1322
00:53:39,949 --> 00:53:42,216
Come, get you down for the press is full.

1323
00:53:42,283 --> 00:53:46,116
The fats overflow for their wickedness is great.

1324
00:53:46,183 --> 00:53:49,233
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley decision for the day of the

1325
00:53:49,250 --> 00:53:50,983
 Lord is nearing the valley of decision.

1326
00:53:51,050 --> 00:53:54,283
So again, you've got this place where they're

1327
00:53:54,283 --> 00:53:58,833
 thrusting in a sickle and there's

1328
00:53:58,849 --> 00:54:00,349
 great wickedness going on.

1329
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:01,349
Yeah.

1330
00:54:01,366 --> 00:54:02,683
Yeah.

1331
00:54:02,750 --> 00:54:05,800
So, but I guess Matthew 13 helps

1332
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,150
 me to understand the order of this because...

1333
00:54:10,933 --> 00:54:12,583
It gets it gets confusing.

1334
00:54:12,650 --> 00:54:13,783
It does, you know?

1335
00:54:13,849 --> 00:54:16,900
And I can see where, you know, there are people out there who

1336
00:54:16,900 --> 00:54:20,016
 are post-tribulation rapture people.

1337
00:54:20,683 --> 00:54:21,750
And this is probably where they get it from.

1338
00:54:21,833 --> 00:54:22,666
Yeah, yeah.

1339
00:54:22,733 --> 00:54:26,333
is what I'm thinking, is they read that as the rapture at the end of the tribulation.

1340
00:54:26,383 --> 00:54:27,099
Exactly.

1341
00:54:27,166 --> 00:54:27,583
Yeah.

1342
00:54:27,650 --> 00:54:28,000
Yeah.

1343
00:54:28,066 --> 00:54:28,783
Absolutely.

1344
00:54:28,849 --> 00:54:29,166
Absolutely

1345
00:54:29,983 --> 00:54:33,816
Kind of goes on here, verse

1346
00:54:33,833 --> 00:54:36,883
 17 and 18, and another

1347
00:54:36,883 --> 00:54:39,216
 angel came out of the temple, which is in heaven.

1348
00:54:39,283 --> 00:54:42,333
He also having a sharp sickle, and another angel

1349
00:54:42,349 --> 00:54:45,466
 came out from the altar, which had power over fire and

1350
00:54:45,466 --> 00:54:48,466
 cried with a loud voice to him that had the

1351
00:54:48,466 --> 00:54:51,766
 sharp sickle saying, thrust in thy sickle and gather

1352
00:54:51,766 --> 00:54:54,883
 the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are

1353
00:54:54,883 --> 00:54:55,949
 fully ripe.

1354
00:54:56,083 --> 00:54:59,199
So he came 1st the

1355
00:54:59,199 --> 00:55:02,316
 1st time to shed his blood and the 2nd time he will

1356
00:55:02,333 --> 00:55:03,533
 shed the blood of the wicked.

1357
00:55:03,583 --> 00:55:06,633
Isaiah 63, one through six.

1358
00:55:06,699 --> 00:55:10,000
Who is this that cometh from Eden with dyed

1359
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:11,500
 garments from Basra?

1360
00:55:11,566 --> 00:55:14,616
This that is glorious in

1361
00:55:14,633 --> 00:55:18,283
 his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength.

1362
00:55:18,349 --> 00:55:22,300
I that speak in righteousness mighty to save.

1363
00:55:22,366 --> 00:55:25,666
Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel and thy garments

1364
00:55:25,666 --> 00:55:28,366
 like him that treadeth in the wine fat.

1365
00:55:28,433 --> 00:55:31,783
I have trodden down the wine press alone with the people there,

1366
00:55:31,783 --> 00:55:32,983
 was none for me.

1367
00:55:33,050 --> 00:55:36,216
For I will tread them in my anger, and

1368
00:55:36,233 --> 00:55:39,233
 trample them in my fury, and their blood shall be

1369
00:55:39,233 --> 00:55:42,766
 sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment,

1370
00:55:42,766 --> 00:55:45,583
 for the day of vengeance is in my heart.

1371
00:55:45,699 --> 00:55:48,816
And the year of my redeemed is come.

1372
00:55:48,883 --> 00:55:51,400
And I looked, and there was none to help.

1373
00:55:51,466 --> 00:55:54,766
And I wondered that there was none to uphold.

1374
00:55:54,833 --> 00:55:57,883
Therefore, mine own arm brought salvation unto

1375
00:55:57,883 --> 00:56:01,000
 me and my fury, it upheld me, and I

1376
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,233
 will tread down the people in mine anger and make them drunk

1377
00:56:04,250 --> 00:56:07,666
 in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.

1378
00:56:07,733 --> 00:56:10,733
So the Lord's precious

1379
00:56:10,733 --> 00:56:14,033
 garments are going to be staying with blood

1380
00:56:14,033 --> 00:56:15,099
 during this time.

1381
00:56:15,166 --> 00:56:15,416
Yeah.

1382
00:56:16,250 --> 00:56:19,666
We'll see a great picture of that in a few chapters.

1383
00:56:19,733 --> 00:56:20,449
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1384
00:56:20,500 --> 00:56:22,766
Again, in Isaiah 34.

1385
00:56:22,966 --> 00:56:26,016
Uh, uh, come near you

1386
00:56:26,033 --> 00:56:28,066
 nations to here and hearken you people.

1387
00:56:28,133 --> 00:56:31,366
Let the earth hear and all that is there in

1388
00:56:31,366 --> 00:56:35,316
 and the world and all the things that come forth of it.

1389
00:56:35,383 --> 00:56:38,383
For the indignation of the Lord is upon all

1390
00:56:38,383 --> 00:56:40,716
 nations, and his fury upon all their armies.

1391
00:56:40,783 --> 00:56:43,300
He hath utterly destroyed them.

1392
00:56:43,366 --> 00:56:46,366
He hath delivered them to the slaughter, their slain also

1393
00:56:46,366 --> 00:56:49,716
 shall be cast out, their stink shall come

1394
00:56:49,733 --> 00:56:52,733
 out of all their carcasses, and the mountains shall be

1395
00:56:52,733 --> 00:56:54,283
 melted with their blood.

1396
00:56:54,349 --> 00:56:57,050
The sword of the Lord is filled with blood.

1397
00:56:57,099 --> 00:57:00,099
It is made fat with fatness, and with the

1398
00:57:00,099 --> 00:57:03,099
 blood of lambs of goats, and the fat of kidneys

1399
00:57:03,099 --> 00:57:06,566
 around, for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Basra,

1400
00:57:06,583 --> 00:57:09,516
 and a great slaughter in the land of Eden.

1401
00:57:09,650 --> 00:57:09,666
So...

1402
00:57:12,183 --> 00:57:15,400
Just Jesus is coming

1403
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,216
 back not as a lamb, but as a warrior.

1404
00:57:18,283 --> 00:57:18,750
right.

1405
00:57:18,833 --> 00:57:22,783
Well, those last 2 verses there in 14 actually

1406
00:57:22,783 --> 00:57:24,283
 tie into the stuff that you just read.

1407
00:57:24,283 --> 00:57:28,300
Do y'all want to read that real quick?

1408
00:57:28,366 --> 00:57:30,633
You want me to hit that real quick?

1409
00:57:30,699 --> 00:57:32,016
19 and 20?

1410
00:57:32,083 --> 00:57:33,449
Because we kind of skipped over those two.

1411
00:57:33,533 --> 00:57:36,650
But so the angels swung his sickle

1412
00:57:36,650 --> 00:57:39,650
 over the earth and gathered the grapes from the vineyard of

1413
00:57:39,650 --> 00:57:43,300
 the earth and tossed them into the great wine press of the wrath of God.

1414
00:57:43,366 --> 00:57:46,416
Then the wine press was stomped outside the city,

1415
00:57:46,433 --> 00:57:49,433
 and blood poured out of the wine press up to the height of

1416
00:57:49,433 --> 00:57:52,599
 a horse's bridle for a distance of almost 200 miles.

1417
00:57:52,666 --> 00:57:54,166
Can you imagine that?

1418
00:57:54,166 --> 00:57:57,766
I mean, blood up to the horse's bridle.

1419
00:57:57,766 --> 00:57:59,083
For 200 miles.

1420
00:57:59,199 --> 00:58:00,266
For 200 miles.

1421
00:58:00,349 --> 00:58:03,516
I mean, without the city means

1422
00:58:03,533 --> 00:58:04,550
 without Jerusalem.

1423
00:58:04,599 --> 00:58:05,250
Right.

1424
00:58:05,333 --> 00:58:09,766
Under the bridles of the horses means about 4 feet deep.

1425
00:58:09,833 --> 00:58:13,066
And a 1006

1426
00:58:13,066 --> 00:58:16,366
 furlongs, like you said, 200 miles, 185

1427
00:58:16,366 --> 00:58:19,966
 miles, whatever you want to say it, but it's close to close to 200 miles.

1428
00:58:20,033 --> 00:58:24,166
Psalm 45 is another prediction of this versus

1429
00:58:24,166 --> 00:58:25,233
 3 through five.

1430
00:58:25,300 --> 00:58:27,266
Gird thy sword upon thy thigh.

1431
00:58:27,349 --> 00:58:30,466
Oh, most mighty, with thy glory and

1432
00:58:30,466 --> 00:58:34,666
 with thy majesty, and the majesty ride prosperously,

1433
00:58:34,666 --> 00:58:38,016
 because of the truth and meekness and righteousness,

1434
00:58:38,033 --> 00:58:40,900
 and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

1435
00:58:40,966 --> 00:58:44,083
Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies,

1436
00:58:44,083 --> 00:58:46,300
 whereby the people fall under thee.

1437
00:58:46,433 --> 00:58:49,666
So, again, this

1438
00:58:49,666 --> 00:58:52,783
 judgment is coming and no

1439
00:58:52,783 --> 00:58:54,333
 one will escape it.

1440
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:54,666
Yeah.

1441
00:58:55,250 --> 00:58:56,083
No one listen.

1442
00:58:56,150 --> 00:58:57,699
And this is Armageddon.

1443
00:58:57,766 --> 00:58:58,300
It is.

1444
00:58:58,366 --> 00:58:58,599
Yeah.

1445
00:58:58,666 --> 00:58:59,133
Yeah.

1446
00:58:59,199 --> 00:59:01,900
Valley of Megiddo, right?

1447
00:59:01,966 --> 00:59:03,466
Right, yeah, I know.

1448
00:59:03,533 --> 00:59:06,833
I get I get a little sideways on that.

1449
00:59:06,883 --> 00:59:10,233
We can talk about it later, but that's another one I get a little bit sideways

1450
00:59:10,250 --> 00:59:11,983
 on is Gog of Magog.

1451
00:59:12,050 --> 00:59:14,983
where God's drawing them in for destruction.

1452
00:59:15,050 --> 00:59:17,983
This Armageddon thing's going to happen at the end of the tribulation.

1453
00:59:18,050 --> 00:59:21,883
There's going to be something really, really similar happens at the end of the millennium.

1454
00:59:21,949 --> 00:59:22,716
Yes, yeah.

1455
00:59:22,783 --> 00:59:23,433
That's right.

1456
00:59:23,500 --> 00:59:24,033
Absolutely.

1457
00:59:24,099 --> 00:59:24,566
Yeah.

1458
00:59:24,650 --> 00:59:28,550
Another another fight, another time, yeah, like you said.

1459
00:59:28,666 --> 00:59:31,716
And it could be a possibility that this Gog of Magog war,

1460
00:59:31,733 --> 00:59:35,199
 I think it's from Ezekiel, could happen like at the beginning of the tribulation.

1461
00:59:35,266 --> 00:59:38,199
maybe slightly before the beginning of the triple H.

1462
00:59:38,266 --> 00:59:39,699
And you look at the Middle East.

1463
00:59:39,766 --> 00:59:42,400
I mean, that's Iran, Russia, Turkey.

1464
00:59:42,466 --> 00:59:43,116
Absolutely.

1465
00:59:43,133 --> 00:59:43,733
Yeah.

1466
00:59:43,783 --> 00:59:44,016
Yeah.

1467
00:59:44,083 --> 00:59:47,433
If we look at that, I look, let me see if I still got it.

1468
00:59:47,500 --> 00:59:49,300
I was looking the other day.

1469
00:59:49,366 --> 00:59:52,483
at some statistics here,

1470
00:59:52,483 --> 00:59:54,449
 if I can find it.

1471
00:59:54,533 --> 00:59:57,699
You know, too, I think, while he's

1472
00:59:57,699 --> 01:00:00,750
 looking those statistics up, I think part of this, the reason

1473
01:00:00,766 --> 01:00:01,900
 it gets so confusing.

1474
01:00:02,033 --> 01:00:03,466
And I honestly believe this.

1475
01:00:03,533 --> 01:00:06,583
I think John is because I believe

1476
01:00:06,583 --> 01:00:10,116
 John is writing this from the view from eternity.

1477
01:00:10,183 --> 01:00:15,699
And time doesn't factor into this.

1478
01:00:15,766 --> 01:00:18,883
He's seeing all of this happen all at once, but it's 1000s

1479
01:00:18,883 --> 01:00:21,883
 of years, and some of it's happening in the course of days, and some of it's

1480
01:00:21,883 --> 01:00:25,116
 happening in the course of a couple of years, and it's all just this, and he's

1481
01:00:25,133 --> 01:00:28,066
 distilling it in a way to describe.

1482
01:00:28,133 --> 01:00:31,133
So I think part of the reason some of it gets a little bit confusing is it

1483
01:00:31,133 --> 01:00:35,033
 may actually be describing the same event a couple of times in

1484
01:00:35,033 --> 01:00:37,849
 a row in a couple of these verses right here, a couple of these chapters.

1485
01:00:37,900 --> 01:00:41,433
But others, I think, are actually like one

1486
01:00:41,449 --> 01:00:45,166
 event that looks real similar to another event because, I mean, what does history do?

1487
01:00:45,233 --> 01:00:47,199
It doesn't necessarily repeat itself, but it rhymes.

1488
01:00:47,266 --> 01:00:50,199
Well, I mean, so you have things happen that are...

1489
01:00:50,199 --> 01:00:53,966
Some season Old Testament of Jesus 1st come to are really easy to mingle with a second.

1490
01:00:54,050 --> 01:00:54,699
Right.

1491
01:00:54,699 --> 01:00:56,916
It's easy to mingle those together.

1492
01:00:56,983 --> 01:00:59,983
But I believe I, there is a chronological

1493
01:00:59,983 --> 01:01:01,900
 effect to, to, to, absolutely.

1494
01:01:01,966 --> 01:01:03,516
I don't believe it's jumble.

1495
01:01:03,583 --> 01:01:06,699
No, no, no, not jumbled in that sense, but honestly, I believe that chapter

1496
01:01:06,699 --> 01:01:08,316
 14 is a little bit jumbled.

1497
01:01:08,383 --> 01:01:09,099
Yeah, right.

1498
01:01:09,166 --> 01:01:09,633
Yeah, yeah.

1499
01:01:09,699 --> 01:01:13,349
I think it's a, I think it may be a repetition of,

1500
01:01:13,366 --> 01:01:16,599
 it's showing that repetition of, okay, you have these things that happen and

1501
01:01:16,599 --> 01:01:18,216
 then, but they're also happening again.

1502
01:01:18,283 --> 01:01:19,183
They're going to be a little different.

1503
01:01:19,250 --> 01:01:20,916
They're also happening again and they're going to be a little different.

1504
01:01:20,983 --> 01:01:22,116
And it's that repetition in that.

1505
01:01:22,183 --> 01:01:25,900
And Revelation does go, I mean, in certain chapters, it goes, oh, flashback.

1506
01:01:25,966 --> 01:01:26,616
Right.

1507
01:01:26,633 --> 01:01:27,949
Yeah, John, right.

1508
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:31,533
Yeah, he's taking us back here to remember this and to tie in with this.

1509
01:01:31,599 --> 01:01:32,066
Yeah.

1510
01:01:32,083 --> 01:01:35,199
And I think that's why it's trying to put all of

1511
01:01:35,199 --> 01:01:38,199
 this so that we can read it and soak

1512
01:01:38,199 --> 01:01:41,616
 it in and understand it because it's a view that we just can't comprehend right now.

1513
01:01:41,683 --> 01:01:44,733
When all this stuff started happening a couple weeks ago,

1514
01:01:44,750 --> 01:01:48,050
 I started looking at this and we know, but we

1515
01:01:48,050 --> 01:01:50,383
 know where Israel is on the map or if you look at it.

1516
01:01:50,449 --> 01:01:53,800
I wish I could, I wish we could bring this up for people that are watching, but,

1517
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,250
 uh, but, but anyway...

1518
01:01:56,333 --> 01:01:59,383
Yeah, yeah, you've got you've got this, you got this

1519
01:01:59,383 --> 01:02:02,016
 little strip of land, you know, that's Israel right now.

1520
01:02:02,083 --> 01:02:06,033
And, of course, you got the Gazza strip that's one

1521
01:02:06,050 --> 01:02:07,300
 of the sources of argument.

1522
01:02:07,366 --> 01:02:11,983
But Israel comprises just 0.one%

1523
01:02:11,983 --> 01:02:14,916
 of the landmass of the Middle East.

1524
01:02:15,183 --> 01:02:19,550
yet it's asked to give up territory right now.

1525
01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:21,633
Yeah, yeah.

1526
01:02:21,699 --> 01:02:24,750
And everybody around them wants them to give up territory, but

1527
01:02:24,766 --> 01:02:28,483
 they only they only comprise of that 0.one%.

1528
01:02:28,550 --> 01:02:32,316
Israel surrounded by 22 Arab nations

1529
01:02:32,333 --> 01:02:34,133
 and or Muslim nations.

1530
01:02:34,183 --> 01:02:34,916
22.

1531
01:02:35,983 --> 01:02:39,283
Everything around them, everything around them.

1532
01:02:39,349 --> 01:02:42,650
Uh, you've got Saudi Arabia and Yemen

1533
01:02:42,650 --> 01:02:45,699
 and Omen and Iraq and Iran and Turkey and

1534
01:02:45,699 --> 01:02:49,416
 Sedan and Egypt and Libya and Algeria,

1535
01:02:49,433 --> 01:02:53,150
 uh, all these, all these different places that,

1536
01:02:53,150 --> 01:02:56,316
 that are just, they're completely surrounding Israel

1537
01:02:56,333 --> 01:02:58,666
 and they're saying, no, we want you to give up more land.

1538
01:02:58,733 --> 01:03:02,033
You've already given up most of it.

1539
01:03:02,083 --> 01:03:05,133
We need you to go up just a little bit more and then we'll be happy except for that more that we're

1540
01:03:05,150 --> 01:03:06,216
 going to ask after you give up this.

1541
01:03:06,283 --> 01:03:06,816
Right.

1542
01:03:06,883 --> 01:03:10,116
You know, most of the people that surround them have the Old Testament

1543
01:03:10,133 --> 01:03:12,466
 mentality that the Gentiles that the Old Testament had.

1544
01:03:12,533 --> 01:03:13,300
They did, yeah.

1545
01:03:13,366 --> 01:03:13,716
Oh, yeah.

1546
01:03:13,733 --> 01:03:14,333
Kill them.

1547
01:03:14,383 --> 01:03:15,216
Yeah, that's right.

1548
01:03:15,283 --> 01:03:15,633
Killer.

1549
01:03:15,650 --> 01:03:16,000
Absolutely.

1550
01:03:16,066 --> 01:03:17,266
Wrap them off the face of the earth.

1551
01:03:17,333 --> 01:03:21,466
But, you know, like I said, you got one way out of this thing.

1552
01:03:21,533 --> 01:03:25,366
And it's going to be it's going to be having a relationship with Jesus Christ.

1553
01:03:25,433 --> 01:03:28,550
Hebrews 2.3, how shall we escape if we neglect

1554
01:03:28,550 --> 01:03:31,599
 so great a salvation, which at the 1st began to be spoken

1555
01:03:31,599 --> 01:03:34,716
 by the Lord and was confirmed in us by them

1556
01:03:34,733 --> 01:03:35,800
 that heard him.

1557
01:03:35,866 --> 01:03:36,883
Revelation 3.10

1558
01:03:37,550 --> 01:03:39,583
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience.

1559
01:03:39,650 --> 01:03:42,650
I will I'll also keep thee from the hour of

1560
01:03:42,650 --> 01:03:45,883
 temptation, which shall come upon all the world to

1561
01:03:45,883 --> 01:03:47,800
 try them that dwell upon the search.

1562
01:03:47,866 --> 01:03:50,916
So I want you to know that, you know, if you if you don't want to say blood up

1563
01:03:50,933 --> 01:03:53,983
 to the horse's bridle, if you don't want to be here during that or should be a part of

1564
01:03:53,983 --> 01:03:57,216
 that, then accept Jesus now, right?

1565
01:03:57,233 --> 01:03:58,849
believe it and trust in him now.

1566
01:03:58,900 --> 01:04:01,900
If the church was going to go

1567
01:04:01,900 --> 01:04:05,066
 through this, then the church includes the

1568
01:04:05,083 --> 01:04:08,383
 saints of all ages since the beginning of the church in Acts.

1569
01:04:08,683 --> 01:04:11,866
I do not believe that Christ will bring them

1570
01:04:11,866 --> 01:04:14,433
 back to earth to suffer tribulation, right?

1571
01:04:14,500 --> 01:04:17,500
He's not going to, the church that's already gone is not

1572
01:04:17,500 --> 01:04:19,349
 coming back to, he's already took them.

1573
01:04:19,433 --> 01:04:23,266
He's already, he's already protecting them and he's going to protect us.

1574
01:04:23,333 --> 01:04:26,933
The church is more than just us here tonight, right?

1575
01:04:27,050 --> 01:04:29,750
There's just us believers that we're talking to.

1576
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,849
There's one way to escape this time and it's

1577
01:04:32,866 --> 01:04:34,300
 going to be through the blood of the lamb.

1578
01:04:34,366 --> 01:04:34,966
That's it.

1579
01:04:35,033 --> 01:04:35,683
Exactly.

1580
01:04:35,750 --> 01:04:36,766
Amen.

1581
01:04:36,833 --> 01:04:39,949
And if somebody's listening to this, I hope

1582
01:04:39,949 --> 01:04:41,750
 they're scared if they're not a believer.

1583
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:46,116
But a believer, man, this is our hope.

1584
01:04:46,183 --> 01:04:47,849
you know, and we're not going to be hearing this.

1585
01:04:47,933 --> 01:04:50,633
but your loved ones might be.

1586
01:04:50,683 --> 01:04:53,800
We need to be praying for the lost.

1587
01:04:53,866 --> 01:04:54,699
Absolutely.

1588
01:04:54,699 --> 01:04:56,433
That's the best thing you can do.

1589
01:04:56,500 --> 01:04:59,550
I mean, that's the top thing we ought to be doing for people we know who

1590
01:04:59,566 --> 01:05:02,500
 aren't saved is praying for them before we say a word to them.

1591
01:05:02,566 --> 01:05:03,583
Pray for them.

1592
01:05:03,650 --> 01:05:04,250
That's right

1593
01:05:04,433 --> 01:05:04,783
Amen.

1594
01:05:04,849 --> 01:05:06,583
that we know that's the will of God.

1595
01:05:06,699 --> 01:05:07,766
Yeah, that's right.

1596
01:05:07,849 --> 01:05:08,500
Amen.

1597
01:05:08,566 --> 01:05:09,333
Amen.

1598
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:12,866
It is his will that none should perish, but all should come to repentance.

1599
01:05:12,949 --> 01:05:13,300
right.

1600
01:05:13,683 --> 01:05:14,633
That was right.

1601
01:05:14,683 --> 01:05:17,133
And all of this, all of this coming up.

1602
01:05:17,199 --> 01:05:19,766
All of this that we're studying and all of this that we're seeing.

1603
01:05:19,849 --> 01:05:22,000
We have the foundation is all there.

1604
01:05:22,066 --> 01:05:22,966
It's all laid out.

1605
01:05:23,083 --> 01:05:26,133
It's all right ready to go, and I mean, like you say, you look

1606
01:05:26,150 --> 01:05:29,199
 at you look at the Middle East today, and I mean, that place has been a powder

1607
01:05:29,199 --> 01:05:30,516
 keg for 100s of years.

1608
01:05:30,583 --> 01:05:33,583
Um, not even going back thousands, just going

1609
01:05:33,583 --> 01:05:36,583
 back a couple 100 years, and that place has been a powder keg ready to

1610
01:05:36,583 --> 01:05:39,699
 blow uh, before even World War 2

1611
01:05:39,699 --> 01:05:42,750
 hit, and then World War 2 and afterward, and, and a bunch of nations

1612
01:05:42,766 --> 01:05:45,883
 stepped in and gave, you know, gave Israel back to

1613
01:05:45,883 --> 01:05:48,933
 the, the Jews, gave, took, you know, said, okay, y'all

1614
01:05:48,949 --> 01:05:52,066
 need a place to live, and we're going to give it to you, and we're going to go back to your traditional

1615
01:05:52,066 --> 01:05:56,199
 land, and that just made some people mad, and now they want to kill them again.

1616
01:05:56,333 --> 01:05:57,833
And I mean, goodness.

1617
01:05:57,883 --> 01:06:01,166
And for a people who have

1618
01:06:01,666 --> 01:06:04,716
 given and given and been as nice as

1619
01:06:04,733 --> 01:06:05,750
 humanly possible.

1620
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,916
And people, and,

1621
01:06:08,933 --> 01:06:12,466
 you know, I've listened to people that are, you know, Jordanian

1622
01:06:12,466 --> 01:06:15,699
 or Lebanese and people that are from that part of the world talk about it.

1623
01:06:15,766 --> 01:06:18,333
And I mean, you would just think they just, oh, well, they took everything.

1624
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:19,233
They refuse to give any.

1625
01:06:19,300 --> 01:06:22,650
It's like, and they gave you like, like several,

1626
01:06:22,666 --> 01:06:25,966
 you know, 1000 acres at one point.

1627
01:06:26,033 --> 01:06:29,566
I mean, you know, 100s of square miles of, of,

1628
01:06:29,566 --> 01:06:31,366
 the land, they just give up.

1629
01:06:31,433 --> 01:06:31,966
Give up.

1630
01:06:32,033 --> 01:06:32,800
And they do it.

1631
01:06:32,866 --> 01:06:34,783
Well, I'm just talking incrementally.

1632
01:06:34,849 --> 01:06:36,516
They would give 200 square miles here.

1633
01:06:36,583 --> 01:06:37,833
They give 200 square miles here.

1634
01:06:37,900 --> 01:06:40,466
They give 200 and they just kept doing it and kept doing it and kept doing it.

1635
01:06:40,550 --> 01:06:43,599
It's like, at some point, you've got to realize

1636
01:06:43,599 --> 01:06:45,699
 that it's not about getting your land.

1637
01:06:45,833 --> 01:06:48,533
And when you've already got more room than you could you can use.

1638
01:06:48,583 --> 01:06:51,583
When they stepped into the promised land, they only they only

1639
01:06:51,583 --> 01:06:54,583
 got like a 3rd of what God

1640
01:06:54,583 --> 01:06:56,199
 had already told them they could have then.

1641
01:06:56,266 --> 01:06:59,383
I mean, you know, they never, they never possessed everything

1642
01:06:59,383 --> 01:07:02,616
 that, that they, that they uh, had promised to them.

1643
01:07:02,683 --> 01:07:03,750
Absolutely.

1644
01:07:03,833 --> 01:07:05,083
And it's crazy.

1645
01:07:05,150 --> 01:07:08,166
And so that place is a powder keg and it is just these

1646
01:07:08,933 --> 01:07:11,983
 things that we're seeing here is that ultimately coming

1647
01:07:11,983 --> 01:07:13,533
 to its ultimate head.

1648
01:07:13,599 --> 01:07:16,650
And ultimately, that is, that's where all that's leading.

1649
01:07:16,733 --> 01:07:19,900
And, you know, yeah, I don't necessarily think that,

1650
01:07:19,900 --> 01:07:22,900
 uh, you know, everybody thinks, oh, well, well, we may get some

1651
01:07:22,900 --> 01:07:25,949
 peace and and, uh, as Brother Greg said Sunday, there are

1652
01:07:25,966 --> 01:07:27,283
 seasons of peace.

1653
01:07:27,349 --> 01:07:30,699
There's times of peace, but it's not gonna be a lasting one until the end.

1654
01:07:30,766 --> 01:07:34,066
And furthermore than that, we're

1655
01:07:34,066 --> 01:07:37,066
 not going to see a full on, you know, everything

1656
01:07:37,066 --> 01:07:39,699
 just blow up completely over there between now and this.

1657
01:07:39,766 --> 01:07:41,383
I mean, this is where it blows up.

1658
01:07:41,449 --> 01:07:42,816
We're not going to be here for that.

1659
01:07:42,883 --> 01:07:45,933
And it's like we've talked about before, and I think Dennis mentioned it last

1660
01:07:45,949 --> 01:07:48,949
 week, maybe or the week before, one week that we were in here that.

1661
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:52,050
I mean, this is, we're

1662
01:07:52,066 --> 01:07:55,233
 talking about wars and rumors of wars and you need to look and know

1663
01:07:55,250 --> 01:07:57,166
 that the end is not yet.

1664
01:07:57,233 --> 01:08:00,650
So just because these things are going on over there doesn't

1665
01:08:00,650 --> 01:08:02,383
 mean that's all of a sudden it's going to be the end.

1666
01:08:02,449 --> 01:08:05,266
Now, I do believe we're closer than we've ever been before.

1667
01:08:05,333 --> 01:08:05,866
Oh, yeah.

1668
01:08:05,866 --> 01:08:09,883
And, and there's, there's a, um, there's a climax.

1669
01:08:09,949 --> 01:08:10,966
It's going to take place, right?

1670
01:08:11,033 --> 01:08:12,400
There's a point.

1671
01:08:12,466 --> 01:08:16,000
There was somebody said that Jesus 2nd

1672
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:17,016
 coming is like Christmas.

1673
01:08:17,083 --> 01:08:17,733
Yeah.

1674
01:08:17,750 --> 01:08:19,899
And the rapture is like Thanksgiving.

1675
01:08:19,966 --> 01:08:22,116
Christmas notes sneak up on you.

1676
01:08:22,183 --> 01:08:23,733
There's all kinds of signs for Christmas.

1677
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:25,533
Everywhere you look, lights are out.

1678
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:27,216
Walmart's going crazy, all this stuff.

1679
01:08:27,283 --> 01:08:28,183
Thanksgiving.

1680
01:08:28,250 --> 01:08:29,199
Oh, Thanksgiving came.

1681
01:08:29,266 --> 01:08:30,466
Yeah, yeah, here it is.

1682
01:08:30,533 --> 01:08:31,183
Thanksgiving week?

1683
01:08:31,250 --> 01:08:31,716
Right.

1684
01:08:31,783 --> 01:08:32,133
Yeah.

1685
01:08:32,199 --> 01:08:33,333
Nice right.

1686
01:08:33,350 --> 01:08:34,250
Yeah, good exploration.

1687
01:08:34,300 --> 01:08:34,649
We're there.

1688
01:08:34,733 --> 01:08:35,199
We're there.

1689
01:08:35,266 --> 01:08:35,683
We are.

1690
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:36,333
We are.

1691
01:08:36,399 --> 01:08:37,416
There's signs everywhere.

1692
01:08:37,483 --> 01:08:38,016
Amen.

1693
01:08:38,083 --> 01:08:38,683
Absolutely

1694
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,133
And uh...

1695
01:08:41,149 --> 01:08:42,216
Sang it.

1696
01:08:42,283 --> 01:08:43,116
There you go.

1697
01:08:43,183 --> 01:08:46,183
And so next week we pick

1698
01:08:46,183 --> 01:08:48,699
 up with Revelation 15, one.

1699
01:08:48,766 --> 01:08:51,166
Another great sign in heaven.

1700
01:08:51,233 --> 01:08:54,166
That's how that one kicks off.

1701
01:08:54,233 --> 01:08:58,300
And, you know, it is.

1702
01:08:58,366 --> 01:09:01,899
It's, it's, We're so close.

1703
01:09:01,966 --> 01:09:03,216
We're so close.

1704
01:09:03,283 --> 01:09:04,050
We're so close.

1705
01:09:04,133 --> 01:09:07,250
And, you know, the thing for for us as believers

1706
01:09:07,250 --> 01:09:09,216
 is I'm just ready to go home.

1707
01:09:09,283 --> 01:09:12,583
Yeah, I feel like traveling.

1708
01:09:12,649 --> 01:09:13,416
Yep.

1709
01:09:14,633 --> 01:09:16,183
That's it.

1710
01:09:16,250 --> 01:09:19,116
And, uh, that's that's where we need to be is.

1711
01:09:19,183 --> 01:09:21,699
we need to be ready and make sure the people you love.

1712
01:09:21,766 --> 01:09:23,500
Make sure you've told them.

1713
01:09:23,566 --> 01:09:24,583
You can't make them ready.

1714
01:09:24,649 --> 01:09:26,016
You can't make them ready.

1715
01:09:26,083 --> 01:09:27,216
But you can tell them.

1716
01:09:27,283 --> 01:09:28,483
You can mourn them.

1717
01:09:28,550 --> 01:09:29,383
You can give them a heads up.

1718
01:09:29,449 --> 01:09:31,966
We can shout it from rooftops, can't we?

1719
01:09:32,083 --> 01:09:33,750
And tell the people you love.

1720
01:09:33,816 --> 01:09:36,449
Tell them, you know, number one, tell the people you love that you love them.

1721
01:09:36,533 --> 01:09:37,433
Start there.

1722
01:09:37,483 --> 01:09:41,083
And then tell them, say, hey, if you haven't accepted, there

1723
01:09:41,083 --> 01:09:42,399
 is something so much better.

1724
01:09:42,466 --> 01:09:45,033
And that's the truth.

1725
01:09:45,100 --> 01:09:47,500
That's the truth of a gospel, and it's a beautiful, beautiful thing.

1726
01:09:47,566 --> 01:09:51,033
So next week, Revelation 151,

1727
01:09:51,050 --> 01:09:55,066
 and we will be picking up from there, Brother Dennis.

1728
01:09:55,133 --> 01:09:56,266
Why don't you pray us out tonight?

1729
01:09:56,383 --> 01:09:59,616
Father in heaven, thank you so much for this time to study your

1730
01:09:59,633 --> 01:10:03,466
 word, Father, and to share what we know and honestly,

1731
01:10:03,466 --> 01:10:05,316
 from my case, what I don't know.

1732
01:10:05,383 --> 01:10:07,833
And Father, I love my brothers.

1733
01:10:07,899 --> 01:10:10,949
bless them, Father, bless brother Tyler and brother

1734
01:10:10,966 --> 01:10:14,016
 Brian, Father, and give us wisdom to go through

1735
01:10:14,016 --> 01:10:17,166
 this world and to learn more, to teach, to get

1736
01:10:18,350 --> 01:10:21,766
 to know you more, Father, and to see the beautiful, beautiful person

1737
01:10:21,766 --> 01:10:25,716
 that you are, how good you are to us and how kind you are to us.

1738
01:10:25,783 --> 01:10:29,550
And Father, I pray for everyone listening, whether they would see the same thing.

1739
01:10:29,633 --> 01:10:30,883
Lord bless them.

1740
01:10:30,949 --> 01:10:33,516
And open our eyes to who you are.

1741
01:10:33,583 --> 01:10:36,699
And Father, stir us, stir us

1742
01:10:36,699 --> 01:10:39,866
 to know that the storm clouds are here, the

1743
01:10:39,883 --> 01:10:42,883
 lightning's popping all around us that you're coming soon,

1744
01:10:42,883 --> 01:10:45,883
 and you're throwing out warnings everywhere, and you've given us

1745
01:10:45,883 --> 01:10:49,300
 this book of revelation of Daniel, of all these prophecies

1746
01:10:49,300 --> 01:10:52,716
 as our hope, to know that we're not destined

1747
01:10:52,733 --> 01:10:55,483
 for wrath, that you're not going to punish your bride.

1748
01:10:55,550 --> 01:10:59,683
You're not going to pour your wrath out on your bride because you've already done that on your son.

1749
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:02,250
Father, thank you for your son.

1750
01:11:02,316 --> 01:11:03,566
Thank you for salvation.

1751
01:11:03,649 --> 01:11:06,516
Thank you for all the mercies that you give us every day.

1752
01:11:06,583 --> 01:11:09,583
And Father, I pray for your protection and blessings

1753
01:11:09,583 --> 01:11:12,033
 until we come here again in Jesus' name.

1754
01:11:12,100 --> 01:11:12,699
Amen.

1755
01:11:12,766 --> 01:11:13,366
Amen.

1756
01:11:13,683 --> 01:11:13,966
Amen.
