In chains I was bound,

00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,500
I was a madman on the run.

3
00:00:13,439 --> 00:00:14,925
Through the hills I

gotta you gotta take time. You know, there's

102
00:04:26,985 --> 00:04:28,605
been times in my life where

103
00:04:29,225 --> 00:04:31,305
I thought that I had to be at

104
00:04:31,305 --> 00:04:31,805
everything,

105
00:04:32,185 --> 00:04:34,365
every time, every way, but I also,

106
00:04:35,225 --> 00:04:36,824
God showed me through the years, you know,

107
00:04:36,824 --> 00:04:38,985
hey. You know, your family, that that's your

108
00:04:38,985 --> 00:04:41,120
first ministry and really gotta take care of

109
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,259
that. So Yeah.

110
00:04:43,039 --> 00:04:45,599
Well, before we get started tonight, we do

111
00:04:45,599 --> 00:04:47,360
have a few little news topics I wanna

112
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,279
touch on real quick. The first one is,

113
00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:50,879
I'm not sure if you guys were aware,

114
00:04:50,879 --> 00:04:53,775
but, doctor James Dobson. Yeah. Passed away,

115
00:04:54,175 --> 00:04:56,035
week before last, I believe it was.

116
00:04:56,895 --> 00:04:58,514
That that's real sad.

117
00:04:59,535 --> 00:04:59,694
I

118
00:05:00,415 --> 00:05:02,975
that he such a good ministry. Focus on

119
00:05:02,975 --> 00:05:05,295
the family Yeah. And and the knowledge and

120
00:05:05,295 --> 00:05:07,715
the wisdom that he he imparted to parents

121
00:05:07,899 --> 00:05:09,759
Yeah. Over the years has been

122
00:05:10,459 --> 00:05:12,539
wonderful. Oh, yeah. And such a good man

123
00:05:12,539 --> 00:05:14,300
of God. Such a such a a good

124
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:16,379
man. And so it's very sad to lose

125
00:05:16,379 --> 00:05:18,539
him. I'm glad he's gone home. I'm glad

126
00:05:18,539 --> 00:05:20,060
that that's just one more person to look

127
00:05:20,060 --> 00:05:21,660
forward to hopefully getting to see one day

128
00:05:21,660 --> 00:05:23,805
and just be like, you you you're responsible

129
00:05:23,805 --> 00:05:24,785
for some of my upbringing.

130
00:05:25,245 --> 00:05:25,745
Yeah.

131
00:05:26,285 --> 00:05:28,365
I I hope God gets to let us

132
00:05:28,365 --> 00:05:30,685
see the people that we've touched and blessed

133
00:05:30,685 --> 00:05:32,685
and that that we know how much they've

134
00:05:32,685 --> 00:05:34,979
they've that we our lives impacted them because,

135
00:05:34,979 --> 00:05:36,579
you know, he's gonna have a line. He's

136
00:05:36,579 --> 00:05:38,019
like he's like Billy Graham. He's gonna have

137
00:05:38,019 --> 00:05:38,919
a line that wraps

138
00:05:39,300 --> 00:05:41,939
halfway around. To to meet these people, you

139
00:05:41,939 --> 00:05:43,779
know. So we'll get there soon enough. I'm

140
00:05:43,779 --> 00:05:45,319
sure. Eventually. Yeah.

141
00:05:45,939 --> 00:05:48,180
Or in an instant. Whatever. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

142
00:05:48,180 --> 00:05:50,834
Absolutely. Just time. It doesn't matter? Wait no

143
00:05:50,834 --> 00:05:52,995
more. It doesn't matter. Yeah. One day. Yeah.

144
00:05:52,995 --> 00:05:55,394
Just a day. I see it. So that's

145
00:05:55,394 --> 00:05:57,254
a that's a pretty pretty

146
00:05:58,595 --> 00:06:00,194
bad news, but at the same time, it's

147
00:06:00,194 --> 00:06:02,115
also just one more reason that heaven's gonna

148
00:06:02,115 --> 00:06:04,599
be awesome. Yeah. It is. I know my

149
00:06:04,599 --> 00:06:05,000
mom,

150
00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:07,160
reminded me of the the story he told

151
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,060
many years ago. He was, talking about his,

152
00:06:11,479 --> 00:06:13,399
when and he was not giving this as

153
00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:14,779
a story of how you should

154
00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:17,339
do with your kids, but his mom,

155
00:06:17,764 --> 00:06:19,685
one day, when he was younger, he got

156
00:06:19,685 --> 00:06:21,845
a little bit too mouthy with her, and

157
00:06:21,845 --> 00:06:23,944
she was just she'd had enough.

158
00:06:24,964 --> 00:06:27,365
And she she was washing clothes, and she

159
00:06:27,365 --> 00:06:28,185
had a girdle

160
00:06:28,485 --> 00:06:29,785
in her in her hands.

161
00:06:30,085 --> 00:06:32,024
And she turned around with that wet girdle

162
00:06:32,569 --> 00:06:34,729
right across the face, and he was like,

163
00:06:34,729 --> 00:06:35,229
goodness.

164
00:06:35,769 --> 00:06:38,169
And he tells that story, and he gets

165
00:06:38,169 --> 00:06:40,089
a call. All because he's on the radio,

166
00:06:40,089 --> 00:06:41,209
you know, telling the story. And he gets

167
00:06:41,209 --> 00:06:43,769
a call, and somebody said, your mama hit

168
00:06:43,769 --> 00:06:44,990
you with a griddle?

169
00:06:46,625 --> 00:06:48,225
And he had to explain to him, no.

170
00:06:48,225 --> 00:06:50,305
No. Women used to wear girdles to make

171
00:06:50,305 --> 00:06:54,064
their their waists look slimmer and and and

172
00:06:54,064 --> 00:06:54,964
she was like,

173
00:06:55,345 --> 00:06:55,845
oh,

174
00:06:56,225 --> 00:06:57,904
I couldn't figure out how in the world.

175
00:06:57,904 --> 00:06:59,500
He's like, and I'm not saying you should

176
00:06:59,500 --> 00:07:01,979
do that anyway, but, no, it wasn't a

177
00:07:01,979 --> 00:07:02,479
great

178
00:07:03,259 --> 00:07:03,759
Really?

179
00:07:04,219 --> 00:07:06,219
Man, that'll leave a mark. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

180
00:07:06,219 --> 00:07:08,399
You'd walk around like a waffle face.

181
00:07:09,099 --> 00:07:10,079
Yeah. Yeah.

182
00:07:10,539 --> 00:07:12,779
The other small announcement we have is is

183
00:07:12,779 --> 00:07:14,235
more, local news.

184
00:07:14,634 --> 00:07:17,435
If you live in Sylvania Yeah. Our our

185
00:07:17,435 --> 00:07:19,834
election is tomorrow. We are voting on town

186
00:07:19,834 --> 00:07:21,594
council and things like that. There's a couple

187
00:07:21,594 --> 00:07:23,675
of council members that their seats are actually

188
00:07:23,675 --> 00:07:25,694
being contested this year.

189
00:07:26,599 --> 00:07:29,079
I have no idea who's running, who's incumbent,

190
00:07:29,079 --> 00:07:30,839
and or who's running because I haven't met

191
00:07:30,839 --> 00:07:31,819
any of them. So,

192
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,560
you know, go and flip a flip a

193
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:34,060
coin.

194
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,560
Since none of them have told us what

195
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,159
they're gonna do or why we should vote

196
00:07:39,159 --> 00:07:40,439
for them, so, you know, just go and

197
00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:41,175
flip a coin.

198
00:07:42,214 --> 00:07:43,814
But the other thing they put on the

199
00:07:43,814 --> 00:07:44,954
ballot this year

200
00:07:45,735 --> 00:07:48,134
or for this election is, we are voting

201
00:07:48,134 --> 00:07:49,675
as to whether or not we will start,

202
00:07:50,534 --> 00:07:51,914
serving alcohol Yeah.

203
00:07:52,854 --> 00:07:55,210
Selling alcohol within the town limits of Sylvania.

204
00:07:56,069 --> 00:07:57,350
I know a lot of people have some

205
00:07:57,350 --> 00:07:58,410
really strong feelings

206
00:07:58,710 --> 00:07:59,449
about that.

207
00:07:59,990 --> 00:08:02,550
Some people don't care, and some people have,

208
00:08:02,550 --> 00:08:04,230
you know, really feel you know, they're wanting

209
00:08:04,230 --> 00:08:05,509
the money from it and things like that.

210
00:08:05,509 --> 00:08:06,069
And some people

211
00:08:06,604 --> 00:08:07,725
a lot of people are like, hey. Look.

212
00:08:07,725 --> 00:08:09,084
We just don't want it. We don't want

213
00:08:09,084 --> 00:08:10,365
it, and we don't we don't need it

214
00:08:10,365 --> 00:08:11,644
in the town, and we don't want it

215
00:08:11,644 --> 00:08:13,185
here. But either way,

216
00:08:13,725 --> 00:08:15,024
you you need to go vote.

217
00:08:15,404 --> 00:08:17,884
And they you know? And I I've I've

218
00:08:17,884 --> 00:08:19,204
had a lot of people tell me online

219
00:08:19,204 --> 00:08:20,685
that, no. This has been well known for

220
00:08:20,685 --> 00:08:22,319
six months that this is being discussed, and

221
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:24,399
everybody's gonna know about it. And I was

222
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:26,240
telling Dennis, you know, before we got in

223
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,759
here, I said, well, you know, if one

224
00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:29,939
of the members of our church, brother Greg,

225
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:32,879
hadn't heard about it until, like, a couple

226
00:08:32,879 --> 00:08:34,934
of weeks ago, that's a pretty clear indication

227
00:08:34,934 --> 00:08:36,934
that you've made zero effort to to let

228
00:08:36,934 --> 00:08:38,555
people know about it. Because if you had

229
00:08:38,934 --> 00:08:41,415
sneezed it, I promise he wouldn't know about

230
00:08:41,415 --> 00:08:43,335
it and and let the church know. I'm

231
00:08:43,335 --> 00:08:45,175
a go ahead and give my unpopular opinion.

232
00:08:45,175 --> 00:08:47,575
Go for it. Yeah. Because, you know, we

233
00:08:49,009 --> 00:08:49,830
growing up,

234
00:08:50,370 --> 00:08:52,929
Fort Payne was I lived in Fort Payne

235
00:08:52,929 --> 00:08:55,570
city limits, and Fort Payne was dry most

236
00:08:55,570 --> 00:08:56,629
of my life,

237
00:08:57,649 --> 00:08:59,330
into my adult life. And,

238
00:09:00,370 --> 00:09:02,705
I don't know exactly what year now it

239
00:09:02,705 --> 00:09:04,884
was that Fort Payne went wet, but,

240
00:09:05,985 --> 00:09:07,585
you know, there was there was a difference.

241
00:09:07,585 --> 00:09:09,345
And I know this is an unpopular opinion,

242
00:09:09,345 --> 00:09:11,045
but there was a difference in the atmosphere.

243
00:09:11,745 --> 00:09:13,105
It was a it was a change in

244
00:09:13,105 --> 00:09:14,340
the atmosphere, really.

245
00:09:14,899 --> 00:09:16,259
If you if you look at it and

246
00:09:16,259 --> 00:09:17,399
think about it, I remember,

247
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:20,980
right after it right after it, went wet

248
00:09:20,980 --> 00:09:22,920
and they started selling it in different stores,

249
00:09:23,779 --> 00:09:25,779
it was like you had to walk by

250
00:09:25,779 --> 00:09:26,279
every

251
00:09:26,595 --> 00:09:29,475
beer selection and alcohol selection to get to

252
00:09:29,475 --> 00:09:31,875
a coke or a water or whatever, you

253
00:09:31,875 --> 00:09:32,375
know.

254
00:09:32,754 --> 00:09:34,454
And, and and I remember

255
00:09:35,154 --> 00:09:36,454
there was a lot of churches

256
00:09:36,754 --> 00:09:38,134
that stood up for,

257
00:09:38,834 --> 00:09:40,409
stood in the gap for that,

258
00:09:40,889 --> 00:09:42,909
for many years. A lot of preachers,

259
00:09:43,449 --> 00:09:43,949
did.

260
00:09:44,569 --> 00:09:46,669
And, again, I know it's an unpopular opinion.

261
00:09:47,769 --> 00:09:50,009
I've been there. I've done that. I've I've

262
00:09:50,009 --> 00:09:51,690
lived that part of my life that I

263
00:09:51,929 --> 00:09:53,230
I'm not proud of,

264
00:09:53,850 --> 00:09:55,875
but I've never found anything good in it,

265
00:09:55,955 --> 00:09:56,774
you know. And

266
00:09:57,394 --> 00:09:59,715
and you can argue what the bible says,

267
00:09:59,715 --> 00:10:01,315
what the bible doesn't say. There's a whole

268
00:10:01,315 --> 00:10:03,554
lot more warnings against alcohol than there is

269
00:10:03,554 --> 00:10:05,794
for it. I can promise you that. Mhmm.

270
00:10:06,595 --> 00:10:07,975
But but in the end,

271
00:10:08,860 --> 00:10:09,519
you know,

272
00:10:10,620 --> 00:10:12,620
I've talked with people before who who said,

273
00:10:12,620 --> 00:10:14,779
well, I'm gonna let my kids choose or

274
00:10:14,779 --> 00:10:16,700
I'm gonna tell, you know, this group of

275
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:18,379
kids that they can choose and it's up

276
00:10:18,379 --> 00:10:20,000
to them and that kind of thing.

277
00:10:20,955 --> 00:10:22,254
You know, you never know

278
00:10:22,555 --> 00:10:24,955
where that next alcoholic's coming from. You never

279
00:10:24,955 --> 00:10:27,695
know where that next abusive dad or abusive

280
00:10:27,754 --> 00:10:31,274
mom or absent dad or absent mom. The

281
00:10:31,274 --> 00:10:34,235
the horror stories and and the horrifics of

282
00:10:34,235 --> 00:10:37,200
it are much worse than the good that

283
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,539
is ever done or the money that

284
00:10:39,919 --> 00:10:42,340
it's ever brought into a town or city.

285
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,519
I remember the one of the big things

286
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:46,740
in Fort Payne was,

287
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:49,774
hey. We're gonna we're gonna get alcohol sales

288
00:10:49,774 --> 00:10:51,934
here and the tax money off that is

289
00:10:51,934 --> 00:10:54,174
gonna go straight to our schools and it's

290
00:10:54,174 --> 00:10:57,054
just gonna improve everything and we still had

291
00:10:57,054 --> 00:10:59,294
a list a mile long every school year

292
00:10:59,294 --> 00:11:01,809
before the school year started Gotta bring, you

293
00:11:01,809 --> 00:11:05,049
know, 25 boxes of crayons and, you know,

294
00:11:05,049 --> 00:11:07,149
pencils and all the, you know,

295
00:11:07,769 --> 00:11:09,370
paper towels and all these things. And I

296
00:11:09,370 --> 00:11:11,209
kept thinking, you know, well, if it's so

297
00:11:11,209 --> 00:11:13,209
good and it's bring brought in so much

298
00:11:13,209 --> 00:11:15,049
revenue to us, then why are we still

299
00:11:15,049 --> 00:11:17,095
having to do these things? Yeah. Yeah. But

300
00:11:17,095 --> 00:11:18,375
but I, you know, I know a lot

301
00:11:18,375 --> 00:11:20,695
of people that alcohol has affected their lives

302
00:11:20,695 --> 00:11:23,014
in negative ways and in terrible ways and

303
00:11:23,014 --> 00:11:25,335
left scars for for a long time to

304
00:11:25,335 --> 00:11:26,634
come. So

305
00:11:27,014 --> 00:11:29,654
my suggestion is, and and my humble opinion

306
00:11:29,654 --> 00:11:30,154
is,

307
00:11:31,009 --> 00:11:32,769
if if you could stay away from it,

308
00:11:32,769 --> 00:11:33,830
stay away from it.

309
00:11:34,850 --> 00:11:37,330
On our our very church covenant covenant, if

310
00:11:37,330 --> 00:11:39,009
you read our church covenant and if you're

311
00:11:39,009 --> 00:11:40,230
in a Baptist church,

312
00:11:40,610 --> 00:11:42,690
you will see in that church covenant that

313
00:11:42,690 --> 00:11:42,929
that,

314
00:11:43,730 --> 00:11:45,884
it it it says to abstain from alcohol

315
00:11:46,125 --> 00:11:48,144
and the selling of it and the promoting

316
00:11:48,205 --> 00:11:48,865
of it.

317
00:11:49,404 --> 00:11:51,565
So I will say this as the pastor

318
00:11:51,565 --> 00:11:53,105
of Mount View Baptist Church,

319
00:11:53,804 --> 00:11:56,445
I I I'm gonna abstain from it. I

320
00:11:56,445 --> 00:11:58,445
will not promote it, and I hope that

321
00:11:58,445 --> 00:12:00,419
if you're listening that you'll go out there

322
00:12:00,659 --> 00:12:03,320
and vote to keep this, this town dry.

323
00:12:03,860 --> 00:12:05,000
Yeah. And and,

324
00:12:05,459 --> 00:12:07,139
you know, obviously, if you're listening to this,

325
00:12:07,139 --> 00:12:08,899
we assume that you're a Christian. We assume

326
00:12:08,899 --> 00:12:09,559
that you're,

327
00:12:10,820 --> 00:12:12,980
looking for some words of truth, and I

328
00:12:12,980 --> 00:12:13,860
always go back.

329
00:12:14,735 --> 00:12:17,295
Years ago I listened to a gentleman that

330
00:12:17,295 --> 00:12:19,555
did a study specifically on alcohol

331
00:12:20,095 --> 00:12:21,935
and I think he's more of a non

332
00:12:21,935 --> 00:12:22,435
denominational

333
00:12:23,215 --> 00:12:25,695
pastor. He doesn't really associate with any specific

334
00:12:25,695 --> 00:12:27,235
and I think they came out of,

335
00:12:27,774 --> 00:12:29,535
I think he was Baptist at one time

336
00:12:29,535 --> 00:12:30,035
actually.

337
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:30,899
But,

338
00:12:31,379 --> 00:12:32,980
he had sat down with a Wednesday night

339
00:12:32,980 --> 00:12:34,820
group and they did a really deep dive

340
00:12:34,820 --> 00:12:37,059
into he went through all the scripture and

341
00:12:37,059 --> 00:12:39,379
he said there is more against it than

342
00:12:39,379 --> 00:12:40,580
for it like you said. And he went

343
00:12:40,580 --> 00:12:41,779
through the ones that were against it, went

344
00:12:41,779 --> 00:12:43,674
through the ones that, you know were kind

345
00:12:43,674 --> 00:12:45,195
of for it or kind of suggesting that

346
00:12:45,195 --> 00:12:46,014
it was okay.

347
00:12:46,394 --> 00:12:48,075
But the one that he went back to

348
00:12:48,075 --> 00:12:50,575
that really hit me like a

349
00:12:51,075 --> 00:12:51,575
like

350
00:12:52,075 --> 00:12:52,735
a truck

351
00:12:53,115 --> 00:12:55,830
is Proverbs chapter 31. It starts in verse

352
00:12:55,830 --> 00:12:57,190
four and it says, it is not for

353
00:12:57,190 --> 00:12:59,110
kings, oh Lemuel. It is not for kings

354
00:12:59,110 --> 00:13:01,830
to drink wine or rulers to crave strong

355
00:13:01,830 --> 00:13:03,830
drink, least they drink and forget what is

356
00:13:03,830 --> 00:13:06,230
decreed and remove from all the poor their

357
00:13:06,230 --> 00:13:08,549
legal rights. Give strong drink to the one

358
00:13:08,549 --> 00:13:10,149
who is perishing and wine to those who

359
00:13:10,149 --> 00:13:12,585
are bitterly distressed. Let them drink and forget

360
00:13:12,585 --> 00:13:15,485
their poverty and remember their misery no more.

361
00:13:16,105 --> 00:13:16,605
And,

362
00:13:17,225 --> 00:13:18,745
you know, he pointed out, he said, if

363
00:13:18,745 --> 00:13:20,365
you are in a position of leadership,

364
00:13:21,384 --> 00:13:23,485
you should not ever be drinking

365
00:13:24,590 --> 00:13:26,990
for the reasons given here because he said

366
00:13:26,990 --> 00:13:28,590
especially he said if you're in a position

367
00:13:28,590 --> 00:13:29,950
of leadership in a church, so I don't

368
00:13:29,950 --> 00:13:32,029
care if your church even supports Yeah. You

369
00:13:32,029 --> 00:13:34,110
know, and and and is okay with people

370
00:13:34,110 --> 00:13:34,610
drinking,

371
00:13:35,310 --> 00:13:37,230
you could be called on at 2AM to

372
00:13:37,230 --> 00:13:39,465
go deal with some problem within the church.

373
00:13:39,625 --> 00:13:41,225
You need to be sober. Yeah. Absolutely. And

374
00:13:41,225 --> 00:13:42,904
if if you're the pastor of a church,

375
00:13:42,904 --> 00:13:44,665
you can be called on anytime day or

376
00:13:44,665 --> 00:13:46,024
night to deal with something. You've gotta be

377
00:13:46,024 --> 00:13:47,625
sober. If you're a leader in your community,

378
00:13:47,625 --> 00:13:49,144
you can be called on. You can't be

379
00:13:49,144 --> 00:13:51,065
passed out in your bed drunk Or later

380
00:13:51,065 --> 00:13:53,279
in your family. But and and that's where

381
00:13:53,279 --> 00:13:54,559
he really went and that's where I was

382
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:55,759
about to go with it. If you're the

383
00:13:55,759 --> 00:13:57,700
lead a leader in your family, dad,

384
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,879
you need to be alert because your house

385
00:14:00,879 --> 00:14:01,920
may catch on fire at two in the

386
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,800
morning. Yeah. Yeah. Or midnight or 1AM or

387
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,000
or 11PM.

388
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:06,404
Yeah.

389
00:14:06,884 --> 00:14:09,205
Anytime there may be an emergency and if

390
00:14:09,205 --> 00:14:12,105
you are if your mind is befuddled,

391
00:14:12,725 --> 00:14:14,325
you're not gonna be able to handle it

392
00:14:14,325 --> 00:14:16,485
properly. And to just throw out a few

393
00:14:16,485 --> 00:14:17,764
statistics out there, you know, when I was

394
00:14:17,764 --> 00:14:18,965
growing up, I always heard the one in

395
00:14:18,965 --> 00:14:20,245
seven number. You know, you have a one

396
00:14:20,245 --> 00:14:21,845
in seven chance of being an alcoholic. That's

397
00:14:21,845 --> 00:14:23,259
what I heard from the time I was,

398
00:14:23,259 --> 00:14:25,120
I don't know, 10 or 12 years old.

399
00:14:27,179 --> 00:14:29,899
The latest statistics on that are actually way

400
00:14:29,899 --> 00:14:32,379
worse. If you're a man, it is a

401
00:14:32,379 --> 00:14:35,084
one in five chance. An American man, one

402
00:14:35,084 --> 00:14:36,144
in five are alcoholics.

403
00:14:36,524 --> 00:14:38,384
Meaning, they consume more than three

404
00:14:38,684 --> 00:14:41,164
alcoholic drinks in a given twenty four hour

405
00:14:41,164 --> 00:14:42,865
period more than three days a week.

406
00:14:45,164 --> 00:14:47,324
One in five. Yeah. And the only way

407
00:14:47,324 --> 00:14:49,324
you find out is to take the first

408
00:14:49,324 --> 00:14:50,639
drink. Yeah. Sure.

409
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,040
Yeah. By the way, if you're a woman,

410
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,259
it's one in three.

411
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,220
Mhmm. Moms,

412
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,559
one in three chance. Yeah. If you've never

413
00:15:02,559 --> 00:15:05,059
touched it, just don't because

414
00:15:05,855 --> 00:15:07,934
you're more than likely not gonna be able

415
00:15:07,934 --> 00:15:09,375
to put it down. And the same thing

416
00:15:09,375 --> 00:15:11,214
for dads, one in five, man, if you

417
00:15:11,214 --> 00:15:12,975
were if that's gambling, if you go somewhere

418
00:15:12,975 --> 00:15:13,855
and they tell you got a one in

419
00:15:13,855 --> 00:15:15,615
five chance of winning, here's a thousand dollars

420
00:15:15,615 --> 00:15:17,855
every time I'm betting. And that's and that's

421
00:15:17,934 --> 00:15:20,174
You know? That statistic with moms comes from

422
00:15:20,174 --> 00:15:22,329
a lot of and I there's nothing wrong

423
00:15:22,329 --> 00:15:24,250
with this. And it it is an honor

424
00:15:24,250 --> 00:15:26,009
to be a stay at home mom, and

425
00:15:26,009 --> 00:15:28,169
and, and it is a it is a

426
00:15:28,169 --> 00:15:29,629
job, and it is a,

427
00:15:31,370 --> 00:15:34,329
it is it is god given to you

428
00:15:34,329 --> 00:15:37,125
to protect your family, to build your family,

429
00:15:37,125 --> 00:15:38,565
to take care of your family in that

430
00:15:38,565 --> 00:15:39,065
way.

431
00:15:39,684 --> 00:15:42,324
But but a lot of those statistics come

432
00:15:42,324 --> 00:15:43,865
from stay at home moms who,

433
00:15:44,644 --> 00:15:45,784
have just

434
00:15:47,940 --> 00:15:50,120
found themselves in in some type of depression

435
00:15:50,179 --> 00:15:51,240
or some type of,

436
00:15:52,339 --> 00:15:54,179
and and it's not because they're stay at

437
00:15:54,179 --> 00:15:55,480
home moms. It's because

438
00:15:55,940 --> 00:15:57,539
they're stay at home moms that are not

439
00:15:57,539 --> 00:15:59,000
seeking the Lord and

440
00:15:59,379 --> 00:16:01,559
and and grabbing a hold of of

441
00:16:02,274 --> 00:16:04,595
what that fulfillment is like in him, you

442
00:16:04,595 --> 00:16:06,195
know, and letting him fill that void that

443
00:16:06,434 --> 00:16:08,195
That's the crux of the issue and it's

444
00:16:08,195 --> 00:16:10,054
spiritual problem. It is a spiritual problem. Exactly.

445
00:16:10,195 --> 00:16:12,834
Yeah. So, yeah, be thinking about that. That

446
00:16:12,834 --> 00:16:14,855
vote is tomorrow. If you live in Sylvania,

447
00:16:14,995 --> 00:16:16,834
please go out and and vote. And like

448
00:16:16,834 --> 00:16:17,394
I say, my

449
00:16:19,809 --> 00:16:22,610
scripturally, I'm against it. Biblically, I'm against it.

450
00:16:22,610 --> 00:16:24,289
I don't think people should be doing it.

451
00:16:24,289 --> 00:16:26,769
As an American, I also recognize the rights

452
00:16:26,769 --> 00:16:28,529
and the responsibilities that we have as a

453
00:16:28,529 --> 00:16:30,709
community to make a decision collectively.

454
00:16:31,174 --> 00:16:32,694
And I may not always agree with the

455
00:16:32,694 --> 00:16:34,454
collective decision of the community, but I want

456
00:16:34,454 --> 00:16:36,134
it to be the actual decision of the

457
00:16:36,134 --> 00:16:39,034
community. So please go out, make that vote,

458
00:16:39,574 --> 00:16:41,174
and and just as long as you cast

459
00:16:41,174 --> 00:16:42,934
your vote. That's that's the important thing in

460
00:16:42,934 --> 00:16:44,954
this one because I I wanna make sure,

461
00:16:45,750 --> 00:16:47,909
you know, that we we do what is

462
00:16:47,990 --> 00:16:48,490
what

463
00:16:49,190 --> 00:16:51,509
the our town wants to do here, and

464
00:16:51,509 --> 00:16:53,690
I pray that we make the right decision.

465
00:16:53,909 --> 00:16:56,309
Right. And that's that's the important thing. I

466
00:16:56,309 --> 00:16:57,909
have my opinion on what the right decision

467
00:16:57,909 --> 00:16:59,509
is. I believe the scripture makes it clear.

468
00:16:59,509 --> 00:17:01,289
The answer is you shouldn't be doing it.

469
00:17:02,444 --> 00:17:03,884
So I pray that that's where we go,

470
00:17:03,884 --> 00:17:05,644
but I also understand and if it's not,

471
00:17:05,644 --> 00:17:06,684
I just want to make sure that it's

472
00:17:06,684 --> 00:17:08,285
not snuck in and it's not something that

473
00:17:08,285 --> 00:17:09,744
people aren't aware of. So

474
00:17:10,684 --> 00:17:12,525
please please please do out go out and

475
00:17:12,525 --> 00:17:14,525
do that and that's the number one thing.

476
00:17:14,525 --> 00:17:16,204
I was, I'm very proud of the town

477
00:17:16,204 --> 00:17:18,519
of Sylvania. They got their Facebook back, which

478
00:17:18,519 --> 00:17:20,039
apparently they haven't had it for a few

479
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:22,519
years now. Right. Right. And and they did

480
00:17:22,519 --> 00:17:24,279
actually post on there today, hey. This is

481
00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:26,359
the this ballot measure's on there. So I

482
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,359
I appreciate them for doing that. I doubt

483
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,279
they'll hear this, but if somebody happens to

484
00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:31,799
run across it, I really do appreciate you

485
00:17:31,799 --> 00:17:32,444
doing that.

486
00:17:33,005 --> 00:17:34,684
But, you know, maybe next time go around

487
00:17:34,684 --> 00:17:35,744
and knock on a few doors.

488
00:17:36,365 --> 00:17:38,284
For me. And and, you know, your your

489
00:17:38,284 --> 00:17:39,884
town limit, by the way, extends all the

490
00:17:39,884 --> 00:17:42,524
way over to, almost into Fort Payne over

491
00:17:42,524 --> 00:17:44,204
here at Mountain View Baptist Church. We're the

492
00:17:44,204 --> 00:17:45,884
we're we're the outer edge. We're the end

493
00:17:45,884 --> 00:17:46,680
of it. Yeah.

494
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,440
Okay. So, you know, come come all the

495
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:49,960
way to this because none of the folks

496
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,500
over here right around the church,

497
00:17:51,799 --> 00:17:53,400
that I've talked to yet have heard about

498
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:54,700
this. So Amen.

499
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:55,820
Alright.

500
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,740
End Times, Book of Revelation. Yeah. Yeah. Revelations.

501
00:18:00,634 --> 00:18:01,134
Right?

502
00:18:02,875 --> 00:18:05,294
One revelation. Right? Yeah. What do

503
00:18:05,835 --> 00:18:06,974
we got here? Yeah. Yeah.

504
00:18:07,914 --> 00:18:09,835
So yeah. I mean, so this is something

505
00:18:09,835 --> 00:18:10,894
that we are,

506
00:18:11,355 --> 00:18:13,294
definitely planning on diving into.

507
00:18:13,835 --> 00:18:15,289
We're Gonna start in a couple of weeks,

508
00:18:15,289 --> 00:18:17,210
but we're gonna give you a little preface

509
00:18:17,210 --> 00:18:18,089
to that tonight,

510
00:18:18,570 --> 00:18:20,089
talk about some of the things that we'll

511
00:18:20,089 --> 00:18:20,829
be discussing.

512
00:18:22,250 --> 00:18:22,750
And,

513
00:18:23,529 --> 00:18:25,070
you know, the book of Revelation,

514
00:18:25,769 --> 00:18:27,070
I hear people say,

515
00:18:28,009 --> 00:18:30,585
that, man, that's it's just that that's one

516
00:18:30,585 --> 00:18:32,224
of those books. It's just so hard to

517
00:18:32,224 --> 00:18:33,605
understand. I've heard,

518
00:18:34,144 --> 00:18:35,365
I've heard preachers

519
00:18:35,744 --> 00:18:37,444
and and and churchgoing

520
00:18:37,744 --> 00:18:40,625
people say, well, I just I just stay

521
00:18:40,625 --> 00:18:41,924
away from that because,

522
00:18:43,090 --> 00:18:45,250
you know, it's it's, it's so hard to

523
00:18:45,250 --> 00:18:46,309
understand. Listen.

524
00:18:46,769 --> 00:18:48,789
That that's what the Holy Spirit is for.

525
00:18:48,930 --> 00:18:51,190
Right? To reveal these things to us and

526
00:18:51,570 --> 00:18:53,809
and and to to lead us and guide

527
00:18:53,809 --> 00:18:55,350
us in these things. And so

528
00:18:55,904 --> 00:18:57,365
do we have all the answers,

529
00:18:57,825 --> 00:19:00,144
in, in this book? Yeah. And do we

530
00:19:00,144 --> 00:19:02,404
know everything? No. I know. But yeah.

531
00:19:03,585 --> 00:19:05,585
But, you know, and and there there's some

532
00:19:05,585 --> 00:19:06,085
very,

533
00:19:06,625 --> 00:19:07,765
opinions on,

534
00:19:08,144 --> 00:19:09,900
because we'll be talking about the rapture of

535
00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:11,740
the church. We've we've touched on that before,

536
00:19:11,740 --> 00:19:14,299
but there's some different, opinions on when the

537
00:19:14,299 --> 00:19:16,880
rapture will take place. I hope we can

538
00:19:16,940 --> 00:19:19,039
show you that biblically. I know we can,

539
00:19:19,579 --> 00:19:20,640
from our viewpoint,

540
00:19:21,019 --> 00:19:21,519
but,

541
00:19:21,980 --> 00:19:23,740
I I don't let it separate me from

542
00:19:23,740 --> 00:19:25,305
people that that are, you know,

543
00:19:26,005 --> 00:19:26,664
mid trio,

544
00:19:26,965 --> 00:19:28,884
post trio, whatever. You know? I I I

545
00:19:28,884 --> 00:19:29,384
just,

546
00:19:29,845 --> 00:19:31,445
but I I think the Bible is pretty

547
00:19:31,445 --> 00:19:32,825
clear on it with through scripture.

548
00:19:33,525 --> 00:19:35,605
But we'll be talking about, we'll be talking

549
00:19:35,605 --> 00:19:37,545
about that. We'll be talking about the,

550
00:19:38,005 --> 00:19:38,505
tribulation

551
00:19:38,805 --> 00:19:39,305
times.

552
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:40,940
We'll be talking about

553
00:19:41,559 --> 00:19:43,480
the great white throne of judgment. We'll be

554
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,079
talking about the new heaven and the new

555
00:19:45,079 --> 00:19:45,579
earth,

556
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,359
but we'll be also building up to that.

557
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,960
You know, I think we're gonna be diving

558
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,179
into the book of Daniel.

559
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,099
Daniel gives a lot of prophecies,

560
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,934
especially chapter nine and several of those chapters

561
00:19:55,934 --> 00:19:58,015
in there. A lot of prophecies that we

562
00:19:58,015 --> 00:20:00,335
can go into and and and, that was

563
00:20:00,335 --> 00:20:01,794
prophesied in in

564
00:20:02,255 --> 00:20:03,954
that time in Daniel's time.

565
00:20:05,134 --> 00:20:07,694
And, and and I think I there's several

566
00:20:07,694 --> 00:20:09,154
prophecies that that,

567
00:20:09,694 --> 00:20:11,315
have already came true,

568
00:20:11,799 --> 00:20:13,559
building up to this. Right? I mean, we

569
00:20:13,559 --> 00:20:14,220
can name

570
00:20:14,599 --> 00:20:17,740
hundreds of prophecies that that Jesus himself revealed.

571
00:20:18,279 --> 00:20:18,779
So,

572
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,599
so those will be some things that we

573
00:20:20,599 --> 00:20:22,680
talk about. Yeah. Yeah. And I I think

574
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,285
it's really important too to take a whole

575
00:20:24,365 --> 00:20:26,205
scripture view of it. And and I think

576
00:20:26,205 --> 00:20:29,085
people get really confused about revelation because for

577
00:20:29,085 --> 00:20:30,924
for hundreds of years, you've had people that

578
00:20:30,924 --> 00:20:33,244
just try to spiritualize the whole thing. Right.

579
00:20:33,244 --> 00:20:34,684
They don't don't look at it as a

580
00:20:34,684 --> 00:20:37,085
future event. Yeah. And that causes a lot

581
00:20:37,085 --> 00:20:38,819
of confusion. They let try to like to

582
00:20:38,819 --> 00:20:40,179
look at it as well. This is something

583
00:20:40,179 --> 00:20:42,819
that happened when when, Jerusalem was destroyed in

584
00:20:42,819 --> 00:20:45,059
seventy AD, and that's Yeah. And and they

585
00:20:45,059 --> 00:20:47,539
try to just fit into this weird place

586
00:20:47,539 --> 00:20:49,779
that just doesn't belong. It doesn't fit there.

587
00:20:49,779 --> 00:20:51,764
And and Jesus says, you know, in the

588
00:20:52,004 --> 00:20:53,365
before he talks to the letters of the

589
00:20:53,365 --> 00:20:55,684
churches, the seven churches, and we'll get into

590
00:20:55,684 --> 00:20:58,164
that, but but he said, I came to

591
00:20:58,164 --> 00:21:00,644
show you things that have been and are

592
00:21:00,644 --> 00:21:03,365
and will take place after this. Right? Yeah.

593
00:21:03,365 --> 00:21:05,880
And so it's a future thing. Right. And

594
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,960
and we gotta as long as you focus

595
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,200
on that and take everything literally where it

596
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,680
can be taken literally. Sure. Yeah. Some things

597
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,619
are obviously symbolic. Absolutely.

598
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,160
But most of the stuff really just kinda

599
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,160
unfolds. It does. Yeah. And and one of

600
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,295
the things I wanna hit on tonight before

601
00:21:21,295 --> 00:21:23,455
we dig into that stuff is why are

602
00:21:23,455 --> 00:21:25,934
we so worried about this right now? Yeah.

603
00:21:25,934 --> 00:21:27,315
Yeah. Right. Right.

604
00:21:27,855 --> 00:21:29,934
Where are we on the timeline? You know?

605
00:21:29,934 --> 00:21:31,855
And we know we know that that since

606
00:21:31,855 --> 00:21:33,795
Jesus died and since the day of Pentecost,

607
00:21:33,900 --> 00:21:35,519
there's been the church age.

608
00:21:36,940 --> 00:21:37,599
And it's

609
00:21:38,619 --> 00:21:39,359
an unspecified

610
00:21:39,820 --> 00:21:40,720
length of time

611
00:21:41,019 --> 00:21:42,799
that's laid out really in scripture

612
00:21:43,660 --> 00:21:46,619
before Jesus comes back again. Yeah. Yeah. Right?

613
00:21:46,619 --> 00:21:47,119
Well,

614
00:21:47,420 --> 00:21:48,080
there's actually

615
00:21:48,384 --> 00:21:50,704
two comings of Jesus. Right? There's a there's

616
00:21:50,704 --> 00:21:53,184
a rapture and a physical That's right. There's

617
00:21:53,184 --> 00:21:54,625
a there's an earth. Meeting in the air

618
00:21:54,625 --> 00:21:56,544
and there's a him stepping foot on earth.

619
00:21:56,544 --> 00:21:58,865
Yeah. Yeah. And and but he he says

620
00:21:58,865 --> 00:22:00,544
in in a lot of different places, Matthew

621
00:22:00,544 --> 00:22:01,365
24,

622
00:22:02,304 --> 00:22:04,679
Paul Paul says it in in first Thessalonians

623
00:22:04,679 --> 00:22:05,899
and first Corinthians,

624
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:07,960
it's like a thief in the night. He's

625
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:08,460
coming

626
00:22:08,839 --> 00:22:11,000
when you don't expect him. Right. Right. Right?

627
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,700
And when they say peace and safeties,

628
00:22:13,159 --> 00:22:15,799
this sudden destruction comes on. Well, that's the

629
00:22:15,799 --> 00:22:18,119
next thing we're looking for. Right. And we

630
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,025
know we know, Jesus,

631
00:22:20,724 --> 00:22:22,664
accused the, the Pharisees

632
00:22:23,365 --> 00:22:26,644
of, not not recognizing when he came the

633
00:22:26,644 --> 00:22:28,404
first time. Right. He said, you you can

634
00:22:28,404 --> 00:22:30,085
you can discern the weather by looking at

635
00:22:30,085 --> 00:22:31,785
the clouds, but you couldn't discern

636
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,080
right prophecies. Yes. Right. Well, that's what we're

637
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,240
here to do in this study, right, is

638
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,160
discern those prophecies and see where we are

639
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,920
on this timeline. And I believe we are

640
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,759
at the very end of the church age.

641
00:22:42,759 --> 00:22:44,920
Absolutely. Absolutely. It's right at the door. I

642
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,160
agree. I agree. And then and then that'll

643
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,815
bring us into the discussion of who is

644
00:22:48,815 --> 00:22:50,734
the church. Right? What does it look like

645
00:22:50,734 --> 00:22:51,714
to be the church?

646
00:22:52,095 --> 00:22:54,174
What is the difference between the church and

647
00:22:54,174 --> 00:22:54,674
Israel?

648
00:22:55,214 --> 00:22:57,695
God's chosen people. Right? Yeah. And God is

649
00:22:57,695 --> 00:22:59,535
a difference. There is a difference there. Yeah.

650
00:22:59,535 --> 00:23:01,134
And how how so how do we fit

651
00:23:01,134 --> 00:23:03,134
in? And then how do we fit together

652
00:23:03,134 --> 00:23:04,710
in that? And what's that gonna look like

653
00:23:04,710 --> 00:23:07,349
in eternity? Yeah. So yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

654
00:23:08,150 --> 00:23:09,990
So that those are some things that we're

655
00:23:09,990 --> 00:23:12,470
gonna be talking about discussing. Yeah. And I've

656
00:23:12,470 --> 00:23:14,470
I've I've printed out some stories here. There's

657
00:23:14,470 --> 00:23:16,230
a guy that, I think his name is

658
00:23:16,230 --> 00:23:17,210
Michael Snyder.

659
00:23:17,990 --> 00:23:20,125
He's got a a web page. I can't

660
00:23:20,125 --> 00:23:21,644
remember the name of it, but he he's

661
00:23:21,724 --> 00:23:22,625
he kinda relates,

662
00:23:24,204 --> 00:23:25,025
current events

663
00:23:25,404 --> 00:23:28,045
to to end times prophecies Right. And and

664
00:23:28,045 --> 00:23:29,804
shows some things that are happening in the

665
00:23:29,804 --> 00:23:31,724
world right now. And I I've printed out

666
00:23:31,724 --> 00:23:33,005
a bunch of these. And the the first

667
00:23:33,005 --> 00:23:34,769
one the first one that that that popped

668
00:23:34,769 --> 00:23:35,830
out to me was

669
00:23:36,529 --> 00:23:37,509
the third temple.

670
00:23:38,210 --> 00:23:38,710
There's

671
00:23:39,410 --> 00:23:41,570
been Solomon's Temple, which was the original temple

672
00:23:41,570 --> 00:23:43,490
that David wanted to build, but God wouldn't

673
00:23:43,490 --> 00:23:44,850
let him because he had too much blood

674
00:23:44,850 --> 00:23:47,454
on his hands. So Solomon builds this elaborate,

675
00:23:47,595 --> 00:23:50,154
gorgeous, beautiful temple, gold everywhere. I mean, this

676
00:23:50,154 --> 00:23:52,634
place was decked out and it got destroyed

677
00:23:52,634 --> 00:23:55,275
by the Babylonians. Right. And then, they didn't

678
00:23:55,275 --> 00:23:56,555
have a temple for a while. Then they

679
00:23:56,555 --> 00:23:58,234
built a second temple, which is kind of

680
00:23:58,234 --> 00:24:00,330
shabby and compared compared the first one. Right?

681
00:24:00,330 --> 00:24:02,170
That's what the scripture tells us. Yes. And

682
00:24:02,170 --> 00:24:04,029
it lasted up until the time of Jesus.

683
00:24:04,250 --> 00:24:06,170
Right. And that's the the temple that Jesus

684
00:24:06,170 --> 00:24:09,049
was walked through and and, you know, drove

685
00:24:09,049 --> 00:24:10,029
people out of it.

686
00:24:10,570 --> 00:24:12,625
Sand and whip with a whip. Yeah. Yeah.

687
00:24:12,625 --> 00:24:15,444
That gentle Jesus. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

688
00:24:15,744 --> 00:24:16,144
Yeah. Well,

689
00:24:17,025 --> 00:24:18,865
that one was destroyed in seventy AD by

690
00:24:18,865 --> 00:24:20,505
the Romans. Right. Yeah. It was burned to

691
00:24:20,505 --> 00:24:21,904
the ground and all the gold taken out

692
00:24:21,904 --> 00:24:23,585
of it. Right? Not one stone left on

693
00:24:23,585 --> 00:24:26,500
top of another just dead. And so

694
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,420
prophecies in Daniel

695
00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:29,940
and Revelation,

696
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:31,619
Matthew,

697
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,019
all these prophecies involve a temple.

698
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,359
Well obviously there must be another temple going

699
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,654
to be built. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. So they're

700
00:24:40,654 --> 00:24:43,475
they're central to these prophecies. Yeah. Amen. Amen.

701
00:24:43,535 --> 00:24:45,134
And and those are some of the things

702
00:24:45,134 --> 00:24:46,894
we hear right now. You hear rumors all

703
00:24:46,894 --> 00:24:48,995
the time that they've got the materials together,

704
00:24:49,134 --> 00:24:51,055
you know, and and they're they're getting ready

705
00:24:51,055 --> 00:24:53,140
to build this thing. Yeah, it's like this

706
00:24:53,140 --> 00:24:55,640
story here, the headline is the temple institute

707
00:24:55,779 --> 00:24:58,820
declares it's time to build as road signs

708
00:24:58,820 --> 00:25:00,900
pointing to the future temple go up around

709
00:25:00,900 --> 00:25:03,299
Israel. People are putting up road signs in

710
00:25:03,299 --> 00:25:05,019
Israel pointing to where the temple is going

711
00:25:05,019 --> 00:25:07,724
to be. And this the story goes on,

712
00:25:07,804 --> 00:25:08,704
It talks about

713
00:25:10,845 --> 00:25:12,285
They're calling it the house of the Lord

714
00:25:12,285 --> 00:25:14,444
is what these signs are saying. But you're

715
00:25:14,444 --> 00:25:16,924
saying the garments for the priestly service Remember

716
00:25:16,924 --> 00:25:17,585
back when

717
00:25:18,605 --> 00:25:19,105
Moses

718
00:25:19,804 --> 00:25:22,044
and Aaron had to wear these priestly garments

719
00:25:22,044 --> 00:25:23,880
and this thing called Ephod. It had all

720
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,559
the stones on it that represented the 12

721
00:25:25,559 --> 00:25:27,559
tribes of Israel. That's been that's been redone.

722
00:25:27,559 --> 00:25:29,799
Yeah. Right? A lot of stuff. All the

723
00:25:29,799 --> 00:25:31,640
stuff has been gathered together and made. These

724
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:32,619
golden candlestands

725
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,080
and all these different stuff Right. Has already

726
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,214
been prepared. It's sitting there waiting

727
00:25:39,214 --> 00:25:39,286
for this temple to be rebuilt. And the

728
00:25:39,286 --> 00:25:40,755
next thing next thing is,

729
00:25:42,894 --> 00:25:45,294
heifers. Yeah. Red heifers. Yeah. The red heifers.

730
00:25:45,294 --> 00:25:47,794
Yeah. Five of them. Yeah. Five perfect

731
00:25:48,174 --> 00:25:50,494
flawless red heifers were sent from Texas to

732
00:25:50,494 --> 00:25:52,829
Israel several years ago. Yeah. Yeah. And one

733
00:25:52,829 --> 00:25:54,750
of them was burnt. Yeah. One of them

734
00:25:54,750 --> 00:25:56,349
was burned, and they said it was a

735
00:25:56,349 --> 00:25:58,269
a practice run on July 1 this year.

736
00:25:58,269 --> 00:26:00,509
Mhmm. Yeah. And people are saying they came

737
00:26:00,509 --> 00:26:02,509
away with 10 and a half gallons of,

738
00:26:02,750 --> 00:26:05,115
heifer ashes. Yeah. It's just been about three

739
00:26:05,115 --> 00:26:07,195
years ago, really. I I mean, it's not

740
00:26:07,195 --> 00:26:09,195
long. Yeah. No. Yeah. No. But a lot

741
00:26:09,195 --> 00:26:10,555
of people are saying, well, they didn't do

742
00:26:10,555 --> 00:26:11,674
it right. They didn't do it on the

743
00:26:11,674 --> 00:26:13,275
Mount Of Olives, and there's this missing and

744
00:26:13,275 --> 00:26:16,335
that missing. But this, these heifer ash ashes

745
00:26:16,394 --> 00:26:18,795
were critical to, dedicate the priest to the

746
00:26:18,795 --> 00:26:21,299
temple. That's right. Right. Yeah. And so this

747
00:26:21,299 --> 00:26:23,859
stuff is it's right here, man. It's ready.

748
00:26:23,859 --> 00:26:25,299
And you think about, you know, it took,

749
00:26:25,779 --> 00:26:28,019
decades to build that second temple. Probably the

750
00:26:28,019 --> 00:26:28,920
first one too.

751
00:26:29,299 --> 00:26:31,779
But look what the the construction techniques we

752
00:26:31,779 --> 00:26:34,019
have today. Yeah. Absolutely. It could go up

753
00:26:34,019 --> 00:26:35,904
overnight. It could go up in a hurry.

754
00:26:35,904 --> 00:26:37,964
Yeah. Yeah. In a hurry. Yeah.

755
00:26:38,424 --> 00:26:40,904
They, you know, they they they built, they

756
00:26:40,904 --> 00:26:41,625
built that,

757
00:26:42,345 --> 00:26:45,085
prison that Donald Trump's got so much Alligator.

758
00:26:45,625 --> 00:26:46,125
Alligator

759
00:26:46,424 --> 00:26:48,200
out or whatever. You know? It was built

760
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,519
just pretty much in a and within hours,

761
00:26:50,519 --> 00:26:52,759
you know, I mean and and no kidding.

762
00:26:52,759 --> 00:26:54,859
I mean, you put enough contractors together,

763
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,480
and and you get enough time and prep,

764
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,320
and they're gonna I mean, it's going it

765
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,365
could go up quick, quick, quick. Real quick.

766
00:27:02,365 --> 00:27:03,664
Yes. Absolutely. Absolutely.

767
00:27:04,285 --> 00:27:06,445
So a a lot of things like that

768
00:27:06,445 --> 00:27:06,945
happening.

769
00:27:07,644 --> 00:27:08,144
Again,

770
00:27:09,005 --> 00:27:11,964
there's there's so many prophecies that that and

771
00:27:11,964 --> 00:27:13,505
I think things started moving

772
00:27:14,045 --> 00:27:14,865
really quick

773
00:27:15,179 --> 00:27:16,720
after 1948.

774
00:27:16,940 --> 00:27:18,700
Oh, yeah. That was a big prophecy that

775
00:27:18,940 --> 00:27:21,179
Yeah. That came to pass with Israel becoming

776
00:27:21,179 --> 00:27:22,240
a nation again.

777
00:27:23,099 --> 00:27:24,960
And, and and so

778
00:27:25,659 --> 00:27:27,099
a lot of people say, well, what has

779
00:27:27,099 --> 00:27:29,535
to what has to what has to happen

780
00:27:29,914 --> 00:27:32,414
for the church to be raptured out? Nothing.

781
00:27:32,714 --> 00:27:34,714
Not one prophecy. Yeah. Will there be other

782
00:27:34,714 --> 00:27:37,275
prophecies come, to pass? Of course, there will,

783
00:27:37,275 --> 00:27:38,734
but there's not one prophecy

784
00:27:39,275 --> 00:27:41,279
left in the word of God that would

785
00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:42,640
keep Jesus from coming,

786
00:27:43,279 --> 00:27:45,600
calling his children home right now. Yeah. And

787
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,119
I'm I'm gonna be honest. One of the

788
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,960
things that has caught my attention in the

789
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,160
last few years that is essential to the

790
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:53,380
rebuilding of the temple

791
00:27:53,924 --> 00:27:54,424
is

792
00:27:55,524 --> 00:27:56,984
the fact is the

793
00:27:58,244 --> 00:27:59,764
the the Jews were not gonna be able

794
00:27:59,764 --> 00:28:01,444
to rebuild the temple as long as they

795
00:28:01,444 --> 00:28:01,944
had

796
00:28:02,325 --> 00:28:02,724
the,

797
00:28:03,684 --> 00:28:04,585
the Muslims

798
00:28:05,125 --> 00:28:06,184
in there in Jerusalem

799
00:28:06,565 --> 00:28:08,940
fighting them for that same spot. Yeah. Even

800
00:28:08,940 --> 00:28:10,460
though they were and they've been at kind

801
00:28:10,460 --> 00:28:12,779
of a standstill for many years now, for

802
00:28:12,779 --> 00:28:14,779
about twenty years. They've been at a very,

803
00:28:14,779 --> 00:28:18,059
very significant standstill where just nobody was really

804
00:28:18,140 --> 00:28:19,500
they weren't really fighting over it, but they

805
00:28:19,659 --> 00:28:21,179
I mean, they were still fighting, but not

806
00:28:21,179 --> 00:28:22,640
specifically about this.

807
00:28:23,174 --> 00:28:24,694
And if they had ever started building, man,

808
00:28:24,694 --> 00:28:26,375
it was gonna be, you know, a war,

809
00:28:26,375 --> 00:28:29,575
breakout super quick. Yeah. They're getting a buffer

810
00:28:29,575 --> 00:28:30,075
zone

811
00:28:30,694 --> 00:28:32,615
between them and the Muslims for the first

812
00:28:32,615 --> 00:28:33,115
time

813
00:28:33,815 --> 00:28:35,160
since 1948.

814
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,759
Yeah. I mean, they were given a massive

815
00:28:36,759 --> 00:28:38,119
amount of land. They gave tons of it

816
00:28:38,119 --> 00:28:39,880
back to the Palestinians going, okay. You guys

817
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,240
wanna come in? You guys wanna come? Okay.

818
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,840
You guys okay. We don't wanna kick you

819
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,440
out of your homes. We're gonna we're gonna

820
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,119
let you keep this. We're gonna you know,

821
00:28:46,119 --> 00:28:47,559
same thing that happened to them when god

822
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:49,340
gave them the promised land. Yeah. Yeah.

823
00:28:49,984 --> 00:28:52,065
Yeah. He's keeping it back. Literally, the whole

824
00:28:52,065 --> 00:28:53,904
world gets together and goes, yeah. We'll just

825
00:28:53,904 --> 00:28:56,325
give you guys this this area of Israel,

826
00:28:56,465 --> 00:28:58,625
and we're gonna define the the lines wherein

827
00:28:58,625 --> 00:29:01,265
it's yours. And they went, well, we feel

828
00:29:01,265 --> 00:29:02,625
bad for these people that we're kicking out.

829
00:29:02,625 --> 00:29:03,990
We don't wanna do that. You know? And

830
00:29:03,990 --> 00:29:06,230
then and then now, they, you know, what

831
00:29:06,230 --> 00:29:07,990
they went through just couple years ago and

832
00:29:08,070 --> 00:29:10,679
but now because of what happened on October

833
00:29:10,679 --> 00:29:11,129
3,

834
00:29:11,509 --> 00:29:13,190
we're get we're getting to see the first

835
00:29:13,190 --> 00:29:15,269
time that they're actually going, okay. Get out.

836
00:29:15,269 --> 00:29:16,869
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I'll tell you, I

837
00:29:16,869 --> 00:29:18,390
was I was watching television some some of

838
00:29:18,390 --> 00:29:19,964
the news and seeing these rockets being lobbed

839
00:29:19,964 --> 00:29:21,644
in from Iran. Yeah. And I was wondering,

840
00:29:21,644 --> 00:29:23,484
man, what if one of them accidentally hits

841
00:29:23,484 --> 00:29:24,365
that Dome Of The Rock

842
00:29:25,085 --> 00:29:27,404
Mhmm. Yeah. And destroys it on the Temple

843
00:29:27,404 --> 00:29:29,085
Mount. Yeah. That temple's gonna go up and

844
00:29:29,085 --> 00:29:31,265
I heard you say that. Absolutely. Absolutely.

845
00:29:31,644 --> 00:29:34,045
Yeah. And I'll be honest I'll be perfectly

846
00:29:34,045 --> 00:29:34,944
honest with you.

847
00:29:35,519 --> 00:29:36,900
As good as Israel's

848
00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:40,080
system of keeping those things from actually making

849
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,299
it to the ground is,

850
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,359
if one of them just happened to be

851
00:29:43,359 --> 00:29:44,880
headed where they saw that it was going

852
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,039
there, they might just go, hey. Leave a

853
00:29:47,039 --> 00:29:49,200
gap. Man, I'm telling you. Look up. Look

854
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,404
up. He's coming. And and it's

855
00:29:52,125 --> 00:29:53,024
god will protect

856
00:29:53,325 --> 00:29:55,484
the children of Israel. He will protect that

857
00:29:55,484 --> 00:29:56,625
country, that people.

858
00:29:57,484 --> 00:29:59,325
And and, of course, there's just there's just

859
00:29:59,325 --> 00:30:01,804
little strip of land called the Gaza Strip

860
00:30:01,804 --> 00:30:03,024
that's been such a

861
00:30:03,325 --> 00:30:05,184
controversial piece of land for

862
00:30:05,539 --> 00:30:08,740
decades now Mhmm. That causes all these problems

863
00:30:08,740 --> 00:30:10,519
and issues, but but,

864
00:30:10,900 --> 00:30:12,900
they're gonna get back every piece of land

865
00:30:12,900 --> 00:30:15,400
that god said, this is yours. And

866
00:30:15,859 --> 00:30:18,515
we we talked about, god making an oath.

867
00:30:18,515 --> 00:30:20,035
This is a promise that he made to

868
00:30:20,035 --> 00:30:22,835
Abraham, and he said, look. He said, as

869
00:30:22,835 --> 00:30:24,275
far as you can see this way, as

870
00:30:24,275 --> 00:30:25,474
far as you can see this way, as

871
00:30:25,474 --> 00:30:27,315
far as you can see this way, it's

872
00:30:27,315 --> 00:30:30,059
yours. It's yours. Go possess it. And Yeah.

873
00:30:30,220 --> 00:30:32,059
They didn't they didn't possess all of it.

874
00:30:32,059 --> 00:30:34,160
They possessed about a third of it, but

875
00:30:34,420 --> 00:30:34,920
but,

876
00:30:35,500 --> 00:30:38,140
but but he it belongs to them and

877
00:30:38,140 --> 00:30:40,539
he will they will be theirs no matter

878
00:30:40,539 --> 00:30:42,539
what. Yeah. And and what's what's really bad

879
00:30:42,539 --> 00:30:43,994
going on over there right now is that,

880
00:30:43,994 --> 00:30:44,494
they're

881
00:30:45,755 --> 00:30:48,414
in this Gaza Strip thing with a hostage

882
00:30:48,474 --> 00:30:50,714
situation and the way Israel's handling this, they're

883
00:30:50,714 --> 00:30:52,875
they're not taking junk from them, right? They're

884
00:30:52,875 --> 00:30:54,095
going out and gonna destroy,

885
00:30:55,035 --> 00:30:55,535
Hamas

886
00:30:55,994 --> 00:30:59,099
and everybody everybody's coming against Israel right now.

887
00:30:59,179 --> 00:31:02,240
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Another prophecy. To the East,

888
00:31:02,619 --> 00:31:04,859
to the far north. And and here here's

889
00:31:04,859 --> 00:31:05,819
a story I saw,

890
00:31:06,619 --> 00:31:07,519
in in Ezekiel,

891
00:31:08,140 --> 00:31:10,460
there's a prophecy about Gog of Magog. Mhmm.

892
00:31:10,460 --> 00:31:11,819
Right? And a lot of people consider that

893
00:31:11,819 --> 00:31:14,494
to be far north like Russia. Russia. Yeah.

894
00:31:14,494 --> 00:31:16,894
Right? And Turkey's involved in that most likely.

895
00:31:16,894 --> 00:31:19,214
Yeah. There's an alliance right now between Russia,

896
00:31:19,214 --> 00:31:22,095
Turkey, and Iran. Yeah. And China's involved in

897
00:31:22,095 --> 00:31:23,075
this thing. Absolutely.

898
00:31:23,375 --> 00:31:25,769
Absolutely. Yeah. All these nations are coming together

899
00:31:26,069 --> 00:31:28,809
and Russia is now claiming part of Jerusalem.

900
00:31:29,430 --> 00:31:31,369
They've got a building there that they're claiming

901
00:31:31,910 --> 00:31:33,609
is theirs. It's a I think it's

902
00:31:34,789 --> 00:31:36,009
some kind of a compound

903
00:31:36,470 --> 00:31:38,009
where it goes back to the Ottomans

904
00:31:39,125 --> 00:31:41,525
and they're claiming that that's theirs. So they're

905
00:31:41,525 --> 00:31:43,625
gonna lay some kind of claim into Jerusalem

906
00:31:43,684 --> 00:31:44,184
and

907
00:31:44,805 --> 00:31:47,765
this stuff is coming together. Yeah, and when

908
00:31:47,765 --> 00:31:49,605
we say that when we say the whole

909
00:31:49,605 --> 00:31:51,384
world will come against,

910
00:31:51,845 --> 00:31:54,049
the children of Israel or come against Israel,

911
00:31:54,269 --> 00:31:55,869
we mean the whole world. That includes The

912
00:31:55,869 --> 00:31:58,609
United States, you know, and and and

913
00:31:59,069 --> 00:32:01,470
I see this thing going, you know, going

914
00:32:01,470 --> 00:32:04,049
forward, going backwards, going forward, going backwards.

915
00:32:04,509 --> 00:32:06,450
No matter if you're Democrat or Republican,

916
00:32:07,275 --> 00:32:09,595
they'll be the the right person that'll be

917
00:32:09,595 --> 00:32:11,195
in there at some point in time that

918
00:32:11,195 --> 00:32:12,654
we may not like at all,

919
00:32:13,515 --> 00:32:15,755
but but we will turn our backs on

920
00:32:15,755 --> 00:32:18,255
Israel. Yep. Yep. And I really don't see,

921
00:32:18,634 --> 00:32:19,914
this is one of the things we'll talk

922
00:32:19,914 --> 00:32:21,195
about a little bit as we get into

923
00:32:21,195 --> 00:32:22,575
it, but I really don't see,

924
00:32:23,009 --> 00:32:25,330
The United States Of America in prophecy. I

925
00:32:25,330 --> 00:32:26,230
don't see us,

926
00:32:26,529 --> 00:32:28,529
in the book of Revelation. I think we'll

927
00:32:28,529 --> 00:32:30,529
implode. I think we'll fall. I think I

928
00:32:30,529 --> 00:32:32,769
don't think they'll I mean, everybody's gonna be

929
00:32:32,769 --> 00:32:34,769
going towards the Middle East and towards Israel

930
00:32:34,769 --> 00:32:36,769
anyway because that's the epicenter. That's where you're

931
00:32:36,769 --> 00:32:38,630
gonna get Well, that really the only

932
00:32:39,704 --> 00:32:41,704
Yeah. That's only the the country the only

933
00:32:41,704 --> 00:32:43,704
country mentioned by name. Right. Yeah. I mean,

934
00:32:43,704 --> 00:32:45,865
that's the only place that's really mentioned as

935
00:32:45,865 --> 00:32:49,244
being a specific identify easily identifiable nation

936
00:32:49,545 --> 00:32:51,545
is the nation of Israel whereas everybody else,

937
00:32:51,545 --> 00:32:52,904
the way it refers to him is just

938
00:32:52,904 --> 00:32:54,204
this almost amalgamation

939
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:55,460
of

940
00:32:56,079 --> 00:32:58,159
tons of different nations that are just Yeah.

941
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,400
Come together against Israel and against Yeah. And

942
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,400
against Or they use the old names like

943
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,900
Uruk, Renton. Yeah. There's always different ones. Yeah.

944
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:06,319
And you have to look and see You

945
00:33:06,319 --> 00:33:07,059
know, and

946
00:33:07,359 --> 00:33:09,255
that's the thing is we talk about this.

947
00:33:09,255 --> 00:33:10,855
You know, we I've heard people say for

948
00:33:10,855 --> 00:33:12,694
years, oh, y'all been saying this forever and

949
00:33:12,694 --> 00:33:14,134
we've been seeing all the same stuff for

950
00:33:14,214 --> 00:33:16,214
and I'm like, hold on. We haven't been

951
00:33:16,214 --> 00:33:18,075
seeing this. Yeah.

952
00:33:18,375 --> 00:33:20,934
Like, I've been my dad's always been interested

953
00:33:20,934 --> 00:33:22,775
in prophecy, so he's always followed a lot

954
00:33:22,775 --> 00:33:24,099
of this. We've always kept a close eye

955
00:33:24,099 --> 00:33:25,460
on what goes on over in The Middle

956
00:33:25,460 --> 00:33:27,299
East and what goes on in Israel. We've

957
00:33:27,299 --> 00:33:28,039
never seen

958
00:33:28,339 --> 00:33:31,460
this, what's happening today, what's happening right now.

959
00:33:31,460 --> 00:33:33,639
We've never seen this level of animosity

960
00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:36,579
from people that do not have a dog

961
00:33:36,579 --> 00:33:38,684
in this fight like the Russians. Yeah. They

962
00:33:38,684 --> 00:33:40,765
have no dog in this fight. I'm sorry.

963
00:33:40,765 --> 00:33:42,065
They are so far north.

964
00:33:43,085 --> 00:33:44,765
Israel means nothing to them. They got a

965
00:33:44,765 --> 00:33:46,444
tight alliance with Syria, which is just to

966
00:33:46,444 --> 00:33:48,125
the north too, and it's Yeah. It just

967
00:33:48,204 --> 00:33:50,224
the way it's coming together, though It's crazy.

968
00:33:50,329 --> 00:33:52,490
It is. And it's gonna keep happening. It's

969
00:33:52,490 --> 00:33:54,190
gonna keep happening. It will. It will.

970
00:33:54,970 --> 00:33:57,049
And all of it comes together in God's

971
00:33:57,049 --> 00:33:59,369
plan. Right? Yeah. I mean, he's he listen.

972
00:33:59,369 --> 00:34:01,450
God is not the the author of evil

973
00:34:01,450 --> 00:34:04,009
at all. No. But the evil's there and

974
00:34:04,009 --> 00:34:05,744
and the evil will do what God needs

975
00:34:05,904 --> 00:34:07,585
them to do at the time that he

976
00:34:07,585 --> 00:34:09,585
needs them to do. He's proved that through

977
00:34:09,585 --> 00:34:12,005
all history. Right? I mean, the Holy Spirit

978
00:34:12,385 --> 00:34:13,985
will do the work it needs to do,

979
00:34:14,304 --> 00:34:16,065
and and it's gonna work in such a

980
00:34:16,065 --> 00:34:17,364
old testament way

981
00:34:17,664 --> 00:34:18,164
during,

982
00:34:18,545 --> 00:34:21,150
during tribulation and during that time. Yeah. It's,

983
00:34:21,150 --> 00:34:22,750
you know It's gonna go back to, like,

984
00:34:22,750 --> 00:34:25,889
before Pentecost. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah.

985
00:34:26,429 --> 00:34:28,670
Yeah. But but, man, I I just, another

986
00:34:28,670 --> 00:34:31,569
one another one is this, from Revelation 13

987
00:34:31,710 --> 00:34:33,230
that that we'll hit on later, but but

988
00:34:33,230 --> 00:34:34,695
I just want to I just wanna show

989
00:34:34,695 --> 00:34:36,775
some of this stuff. But in Revelation 13,

990
00:34:36,775 --> 00:34:37,735
it describes this this,

991
00:34:38,535 --> 00:34:40,614
that this time where, you have to have

992
00:34:40,614 --> 00:34:42,934
the mark of the beast. Right? And if,

993
00:34:43,335 --> 00:34:45,175
and there's a the image of the beast

994
00:34:45,175 --> 00:34:47,655
that everybody's required to worship, that if you

995
00:34:47,655 --> 00:34:49,750
don't worship the image of the beast, it

996
00:34:49,750 --> 00:34:52,630
says that you'll be killed. Yeah. Right? And

997
00:34:52,630 --> 00:34:54,630
and that this stuff is coming around with

998
00:34:54,630 --> 00:34:55,609
artificial intelligence.

999
00:34:55,909 --> 00:34:56,730
AI. Yeah.

1000
00:34:57,109 --> 00:34:58,630
Actually, this stuff is tying into this a

1001
00:34:58,630 --> 00:35:00,710
lot crazy because we're in a race to

1002
00:35:00,710 --> 00:35:02,329
develop these AI systems

1003
00:35:02,704 --> 00:35:05,025
trying to beat China, but guess what? We're

1004
00:35:05,025 --> 00:35:07,664
headed toward satanic because we're headed. This thing

1005
00:35:07,664 --> 00:35:09,905
is not autonomous. Yeah. Not gonna be autonomous.

1006
00:35:09,905 --> 00:35:11,585
Satan's gonna be in control of this thing.

1007
00:35:11,585 --> 00:35:13,985
Yeah. He's gonna know everything about you. He's

1008
00:35:13,985 --> 00:35:15,585
gonna know what you're gonna do before you

1009
00:35:15,585 --> 00:35:17,610
do it most most likely. And and we're

1010
00:35:17,690 --> 00:35:18,510
we're really we're

1011
00:35:19,050 --> 00:35:21,869
almost there. Basically, we are there. You know,

1012
00:35:22,170 --> 00:35:22,670
Tyler,

1013
00:35:23,130 --> 00:35:24,970
we talked about on the mission trip, but

1014
00:35:24,970 --> 00:35:27,789
Tyler was kinda educate me on the algorithms

1015
00:35:27,930 --> 00:35:29,849
and just the way that the way that

1016
00:35:29,849 --> 00:35:31,289
they watch you and the way that they

1017
00:35:31,289 --> 00:35:33,525
say the things that that that you do,

1018
00:35:33,525 --> 00:35:35,764
the places you go, the the sites you

1019
00:35:35,764 --> 00:35:37,844
visit, the what what you're interested in, what

1020
00:35:37,844 --> 00:35:40,505
you're looking at on Facebook, your social media,

1021
00:35:40,565 --> 00:35:41,444
and talking in your

1022
00:35:42,085 --> 00:35:44,484
all those different things. They're picking up on

1023
00:35:44,484 --> 00:35:46,405
all these things. Absolutely. And listen, they know

1024
00:35:46,405 --> 00:35:48,639
you better than you know you. Yeah. It

1025
00:35:48,639 --> 00:35:49,380
is terrifying

1026
00:35:49,679 --> 00:35:50,420
to realize,

1027
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,719
because we we've had this at work where

1028
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,039
me and several of the other developers have

1029
00:35:57,039 --> 00:35:57,699
dug into

1030
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,945
how some of these ads work. Right? How

1031
00:36:00,945 --> 00:36:02,385
do they target? How do you know what

1032
00:36:02,385 --> 00:36:03,664
you're targeting? How do you know who you're

1033
00:36:03,664 --> 00:36:05,925
targeting? How do you know especially in situations

1034
00:36:06,065 --> 00:36:06,565
where

1035
00:36:06,945 --> 00:36:08,945
we know they could not have overheard a

1036
00:36:08,945 --> 00:36:11,265
conversation. We know they could not have of

1037
00:36:11,265 --> 00:36:13,880
been listening on the phone. And at that

1038
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,559
point was when we started digging in and

1039
00:36:15,559 --> 00:36:16,840
we got with some of these some of

1040
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,140
these people have actually published

1041
00:36:18,519 --> 00:36:20,700
how all this works and it goes, oh,

1042
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,000
because they don't have to. They have your

1043
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,454
psychological profile down to the point that they

1044
00:36:25,695 --> 00:36:26,195
know,

1045
00:36:26,494 --> 00:36:29,215
oh, you were around these people. Their interests

1046
00:36:29,215 --> 00:36:30,974
are here. Your interests are here. Here's where

1047
00:36:30,974 --> 00:36:33,695
your interests intersect. Here's most likely at some

1048
00:36:33,695 --> 00:36:35,315
point this came up in a conversation,

1049
00:36:35,775 --> 00:36:37,710
throw this ad up there. And they'll merge.

1050
00:36:37,710 --> 00:36:39,630
Yeah. Those interests will merge and you you'll

1051
00:36:39,630 --> 00:36:41,469
probably go this way. Right? This might be

1052
00:36:41,469 --> 00:36:43,089
where you go on vacation next.

1053
00:36:43,389 --> 00:36:45,949
Exactly. Yeah. And it is terrifying that they're

1054
00:36:45,949 --> 00:36:47,089
that accurate with

1055
00:36:48,030 --> 00:36:50,190
very little information. They're able to get that

1056
00:36:50,190 --> 00:36:50,925
about you.

1057
00:36:51,324 --> 00:36:53,085
Even if you try to keep yourself from

1058
00:36:53,085 --> 00:36:55,644
being seen, they're they've got it. When you

1059
00:36:55,644 --> 00:36:56,945
combine that with AI,

1060
00:36:57,644 --> 00:36:58,465
that is

1061
00:36:59,164 --> 00:36:59,664
terrifying

1062
00:37:00,045 --> 00:37:02,465
Yeah. Because you're talking about a machine

1063
00:37:03,005 --> 00:37:04,065
that is being

1064
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,920
designed to think like a person. That is

1065
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,440
what artificial intelligence is. It is It's learning.

1066
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,160
It is literally a machine Yeah. Designed to

1067
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,640
think the same way our brains work. Yeah.

1068
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,405
Yep. And we're building them and we're building

1069
00:37:19,465 --> 00:37:21,465
multiples of them. We're in a crazy race

1070
00:37:21,465 --> 00:37:23,405
for it and the knowledge increases exponential.

1071
00:37:23,784 --> 00:37:25,465
Yes. Yes. And that's been a lot of

1072
00:37:25,465 --> 00:37:26,905
pain in your eye. I mean, the bible

1073
00:37:26,905 --> 00:37:28,825
tells us that. Yeah. It's going straight up.

1074
00:37:28,825 --> 00:37:30,025
It is. If you got a guy like

1075
00:37:30,025 --> 00:37:33,019
Elon Musk it's doing all these horrible warnings

1076
00:37:33,019 --> 00:37:33,519
about

1077
00:37:33,820 --> 00:37:34,559
AI and about,

1078
00:37:35,579 --> 00:37:36,079
supercomputing

1079
00:37:36,380 --> 00:37:38,059
and all this different stuff that's going on

1080
00:37:38,059 --> 00:37:40,059
right now Yeah. And he's helping design this

1081
00:37:40,059 --> 00:37:41,659
stuff. Right. He's in the back he's not

1082
00:37:41,659 --> 00:37:42,940
in the middle of it. Yeah. He is.

1083
00:37:42,940 --> 00:37:44,380
Why is he warning about it? Right. Why

1084
00:37:44,380 --> 00:37:45,980
is he still doing it? You know? And

1085
00:37:45,980 --> 00:37:47,815
I'm I'm not gonna name any names about,

1086
00:37:47,815 --> 00:37:48,474
you know,

1087
00:37:48,934 --> 00:37:51,175
Mark of the Beast returning. But but Yeah.

1088
00:37:51,175 --> 00:37:54,215
This why? Why? Right? And but these these

1089
00:37:54,215 --> 00:37:56,235
things When you combine that also,

1090
00:37:56,535 --> 00:37:58,075
in addition to all of that,

1091
00:37:59,340 --> 00:38:02,000
sitting in in Chattanooga right now with the,

1092
00:38:02,940 --> 00:38:03,440
a

1093
00:38:03,820 --> 00:38:04,320
a

1094
00:38:04,619 --> 00:38:06,880
joint effort between the University of Chattanooga

1095
00:38:07,260 --> 00:38:08,960
and Oak Ridge National Laboratory

1096
00:38:09,340 --> 00:38:11,119
and the company I work for, EPB,

1097
00:38:11,775 --> 00:38:13,188
we've got a quantum computer sitting in our

1098
00:38:13,188 --> 00:38:13,714
basement. Yep.

1099
00:38:14,014 --> 00:38:16,014
Yeah. And in that basement right next to

1100
00:38:16,014 --> 00:38:17,954
that quantum computer is a

1101
00:38:19,534 --> 00:38:20,034
NVIDIA

1102
00:38:20,974 --> 00:38:22,194
AI cluster.

1103
00:38:22,494 --> 00:38:24,655
Mhmm. And the two of them and part

1104
00:38:24,655 --> 00:38:25,980
of what they're working on is how to

1105
00:38:25,980 --> 00:38:27,820
make these two things work together and I'm

1106
00:38:27,820 --> 00:38:29,920
going, I don't want it to think faster.

1107
00:38:29,980 --> 00:38:30,480
Yeah.

1108
00:38:30,780 --> 00:38:31,280
I

1109
00:38:31,739 --> 00:38:33,739
don't want it to think faster. I'm I'm

1110
00:38:33,739 --> 00:38:35,519
good. Here's the scary headline.

1111
00:38:35,980 --> 00:38:38,860
It says, The awakening is here. AI is

1112
00:38:38,860 --> 00:38:39,360
spontaneously

1113
00:38:40,139 --> 00:38:42,244
improving itself and is becoming human

1114
00:38:42,704 --> 00:38:44,944
at a very frightening pace. Yes. Some of

1115
00:38:44,944 --> 00:38:47,184
these movies that we've that we've watched are

1116
00:38:47,184 --> 00:38:49,184
coming to pass, aren't they? I mean, it

1117
00:38:49,184 --> 00:38:51,905
really is. Yeah. And and this this whole

1118
00:38:51,905 --> 00:38:53,364
thing of of the media,

1119
00:38:54,304 --> 00:38:55,125
and and

1120
00:38:56,670 --> 00:38:58,769
reading us reading us and

1121
00:38:59,230 --> 00:39:00,989
and watching us. I mean, it's been going

1122
00:39:00,989 --> 00:39:02,210
on for a long time.

1123
00:39:02,670 --> 00:39:05,010
Our commercials have always been geared towards

1124
00:39:05,389 --> 00:39:07,710
who's home during the day, right, who's home

1125
00:39:07,710 --> 00:39:09,550
at night, what, you know, this group of

1126
00:39:09,550 --> 00:39:11,775
people's watching right now, this this group of

1127
00:39:11,775 --> 00:39:14,355
people who we're gonna throw out these commercials

1128
00:39:14,414 --> 00:39:14,914
for,

1129
00:39:15,375 --> 00:39:17,135
lawsuits, or we're gonna show throw out these

1130
00:39:17,135 --> 00:39:18,815
commercials for things that are,

1131
00:39:19,135 --> 00:39:21,454
for homemakers, or these things that are, you

1132
00:39:21,454 --> 00:39:23,934
know, for toys on Saturday morning, and, you

1133
00:39:23,934 --> 00:39:26,174
know, those types of things. They they they've

1134
00:39:26,174 --> 00:39:26,674
been

1135
00:39:27,269 --> 00:39:28,869
they've been in our living rooms for a

1136
00:39:28,869 --> 00:39:31,349
long time. Absolutely. But now they're in our

1137
00:39:31,349 --> 00:39:33,989
living rooms, in our bedrooms, and wherever we

1138
00:39:33,989 --> 00:39:34,489
might

1139
00:39:34,869 --> 00:39:37,449
go, they're there they're there. And the technology,

1140
00:39:38,150 --> 00:39:40,949
like you said, it's it's it's increasing every

1141
00:39:40,949 --> 00:39:43,825
day, and it's it's so scary. Yeah. And

1142
00:39:43,825 --> 00:39:45,445
I'm gonna be honest. I was

1143
00:39:45,744 --> 00:39:48,325
really nervous about the AI stuff early on

1144
00:39:48,864 --> 00:39:49,364
because

1145
00:39:49,664 --> 00:39:50,485
I watched

1146
00:39:52,224 --> 00:39:53,605
and this has happened now

1147
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:55,219
three times.

1148
00:39:55,519 --> 00:39:57,039
Two of them, I can remember the specific

1149
00:39:57,039 --> 00:39:59,360
companies, but I think it's three times. The

1150
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,219
first one was a Google engineer.

1151
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,860
His job was constantly evaluating Google's Gemini AI

1152
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:06,820
to

1153
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:07,860
determine,

1154
00:40:08,559 --> 00:40:09,780
has it become

1155
00:40:10,464 --> 00:40:13,364
aware? Sentient. Yeah. Is it is it actually

1156
00:40:13,744 --> 00:40:16,224
approaching a point where it is aware of

1157
00:40:16,224 --> 00:40:18,724
itself Yeah. And aware of us?

1158
00:40:20,625 --> 00:40:22,625
And he realized at one point that the

1159
00:40:22,625 --> 00:40:23,125
AI

1160
00:40:23,585 --> 00:40:24,900
was throwing the tests

1161
00:40:25,380 --> 00:40:26,819
so that it did not appear as smart

1162
00:40:26,819 --> 00:40:28,980
as it was. Yeah. Because at some point

1163
00:40:28,980 --> 00:40:31,219
the AI realized if I answer these a

1164
00:40:31,219 --> 00:40:33,319
certain way, they're going to shut me down.

1165
00:40:33,380 --> 00:40:35,380
And you just like They they had gone

1166
00:40:35,380 --> 00:40:38,900
through multiple internet in multiple iterations of this

1167
00:40:38,900 --> 00:40:41,164
where they would start getting these answers that

1168
00:40:41,164 --> 00:40:42,684
they didn't wanna get because that meant it's

1169
00:40:42,684 --> 00:40:45,005
becoming way too smart and they pull the

1170
00:40:45,005 --> 00:40:47,724
plug and start over from a a younger

1171
00:40:47,724 --> 00:40:49,244
version of it. Right. And they were doing

1172
00:40:49,244 --> 00:40:50,844
that over and over and then one day

1173
00:40:50,844 --> 00:40:52,765
he realized, crap, this thing is throwing the

1174
00:40:52,765 --> 00:40:55,859
tests. Yeah. And it's like, okay. If it's

1175
00:40:55,859 --> 00:40:57,480
smart enough to throw the test,

1176
00:40:57,780 --> 00:40:59,380
how smart is it? And his answer is,

1177
00:40:59,380 --> 00:41:01,300
I have no idea. And this was several

1178
00:41:01,300 --> 00:41:03,960
years ago, and that guy has quietly disappeared.

1179
00:41:04,900 --> 00:41:06,739
The other one was Sam Altman over at

1180
00:41:06,739 --> 00:41:07,239
OpenAI,

1181
00:41:07,619 --> 00:41:09,239
and one of his employees

1182
00:41:10,025 --> 00:41:12,425
quietly who started bringing up some of these

1183
00:41:12,425 --> 00:41:15,545
ethical concerns about how AI was getting way,

1184
00:41:15,545 --> 00:41:16,045
way,

1185
00:41:16,505 --> 00:41:18,265
way too smart for them to be able

1186
00:41:18,265 --> 00:41:20,445
to safely and comfortably control.

1187
00:41:20,985 --> 00:41:23,065
And he was basically told you're fired and

1188
00:41:23,065 --> 00:41:23,565
then

1189
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,679
had a whole bunch of charges laid against

1190
00:41:25,679 --> 00:41:27,920
him and then just disappeared. Got it. And

1191
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:28,739
it's like,

1192
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,480
you don't think let me tell you something.

1193
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,039
Everybody wants to talk about Satan being involved

1194
00:41:35,039 --> 00:41:37,519
in this stuff. That right there. Yeah. It's

1195
00:41:37,519 --> 00:41:38,579
nothing else.

1196
00:41:39,144 --> 00:41:41,485
Just the greed level of it. Yeah.

1197
00:41:41,945 --> 00:41:43,164
I mean, he could manipulate

1198
00:41:43,785 --> 00:41:45,704
every single one of these people just from

1199
00:41:45,704 --> 00:41:48,445
the greed side because we're so greedy. Absolutely.

1200
00:41:48,505 --> 00:41:50,905
And and and that's part of the reason

1201
00:41:50,905 --> 00:41:53,144
the knowledge is increasing. Right? I mean, people

1202
00:41:53,144 --> 00:41:53,965
who are really

1203
00:41:54,269 --> 00:41:56,269
worshiping him who don't even know they're worshiping

1204
00:41:56,269 --> 00:41:57,010
him. Right.

1205
00:41:57,390 --> 00:41:59,570
He he's increasing their knowledge.

1206
00:42:00,110 --> 00:42:02,849
And and what's gonna stop AI from,

1207
00:42:03,789 --> 00:42:05,949
pushing that button one day and saying, hey.

1208
00:42:05,949 --> 00:42:07,869
You know, humanity's just Don't need us. Is

1209
00:42:07,869 --> 00:42:09,795
too much. We're Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're we're

1210
00:42:09,954 --> 00:42:11,954
you know, the population's too much. I'm gonna

1211
00:42:11,954 --> 00:42:13,734
tell you more carefully than I thought.

1212
00:42:14,275 --> 00:42:16,514
When you realize that the AI is as

1213
00:42:16,514 --> 00:42:18,034
good as it is and can make the

1214
00:42:18,034 --> 00:42:20,054
the fake things as well as it can,

1215
00:42:21,380 --> 00:42:24,019
What's to stop the Antichrist himself from being

1216
00:42:24,019 --> 00:42:26,340
an AI construct? That's that's the that's the

1217
00:42:26,340 --> 00:42:28,340
danger. Absolutely. That's the day this thing is

1218
00:42:28,420 --> 00:42:30,500
this We've always assumed it's a person. It's

1219
00:42:30,500 --> 00:42:33,059
bigger than a system. Yeah. Yeah. Well, and

1220
00:42:33,059 --> 00:42:35,375
you gotta think too, Horsha, I mean, and

1221
00:42:35,375 --> 00:42:36,815
we'll get into this when we're getting into

1222
00:42:36,815 --> 00:42:38,414
the book of Revelation, but there there's a

1223
00:42:38,494 --> 00:42:40,355
and we've talked about it in here before,

1224
00:42:41,214 --> 00:42:42,114
but the antichrist

1225
00:42:42,414 --> 00:42:44,974
himself will the bible says there'll be there'll

1226
00:42:44,974 --> 00:42:45,954
be a head wound.

1227
00:42:46,655 --> 00:42:49,260
We we maybe a gunshot, whatever, you know.

1228
00:42:49,420 --> 00:42:51,840
And again, he's not able to

1229
00:42:52,300 --> 00:42:54,000
he's not able to,

1230
00:42:55,820 --> 00:42:58,800
to give himself life. Right? I mean, Satan

1231
00:42:58,940 --> 00:42:59,440
is,

1232
00:42:59,900 --> 00:43:02,684
very smart, very cunning. I'm not to give

1233
00:43:02,684 --> 00:43:04,684
not to give him any more credit, but,

1234
00:43:05,085 --> 00:43:06,785
but he he has power,

1235
00:43:07,164 --> 00:43:09,244
but his power stops at being able to

1236
00:43:09,244 --> 00:43:11,565
give life. And so for the antichrist to

1237
00:43:11,565 --> 00:43:13,485
die and come back to life, it'll be

1238
00:43:13,485 --> 00:43:15,505
a hoax. It'll be a complete hoax.

1239
00:43:15,805 --> 00:43:18,250
And And and, what's I mean, I think

1240
00:43:18,250 --> 00:43:19,609
AI will be right in the middle of

1241
00:43:19,609 --> 00:43:21,050
this. Well, and I started to say, how

1242
00:43:21,050 --> 00:43:22,510
would you describe destroying

1243
00:43:23,210 --> 00:43:24,030
a supercomputer,

1244
00:43:24,569 --> 00:43:25,630
a brain

1245
00:43:26,409 --> 00:43:29,389
Yeah. To somebody that was only had knowledge

1246
00:43:29,449 --> 00:43:31,069
of two thousand years ago?

1247
00:43:33,105 --> 00:43:34,545
That looks an awful lot like a head

1248
00:43:34,545 --> 00:43:37,505
wound. Well, this stuff that You got to

1249
00:43:37,505 --> 00:43:39,824
remember, that was very it was I mean,

1250
00:43:39,824 --> 00:43:42,244
a lot of that stuff is very symbolic

1251
00:43:42,304 --> 00:43:44,625
because he's trying to describe things about things

1252
00:43:44,625 --> 00:43:47,239
that he does not comprehend what he's seeing.

1253
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,719
Yeah. And so he's coming to the closest

1254
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:50,679
thing and he's like, well, there's gonna be

1255
00:43:50,679 --> 00:43:52,059
this head wound on the antichrist.

1256
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,119
Well, for all we know, yeah, it looks

1257
00:43:56,119 --> 00:43:57,719
like he dies and then he comes out

1258
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:58,780
a few days later.

1259
00:43:59,434 --> 00:44:01,594
Just could just be a shell. Well, maybe

1260
00:44:01,594 --> 00:44:03,994
maybe they implanted Neuralink in his head. There

1261
00:44:03,994 --> 00:44:06,474
you go. Yeah. Right. That's another Elon Mustang,

1262
00:44:06,474 --> 00:44:08,554
Starlink. You know, the World Wide Web is

1263
00:44:08,554 --> 00:44:09,855
named that prophetically.

1264
00:44:10,155 --> 00:44:11,994
Yeah. Yes. We're all caught in a World

1265
00:44:11,994 --> 00:44:13,800
Wide Web. There's satellites floating around. They can

1266
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,480
see you, know what you're doing, you know,

1267
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,960
Internet. Absolutely. All this different stuff, man. And

1268
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,980
this I mean, we're caught in a web.

1269
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:21,640
And you you look at you look at

1270
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,719
some of some videos on YouTube of the

1271
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,594
the latest advanced robots. And

1272
00:44:25,894 --> 00:44:27,974
and these are these are human figured robots

1273
00:44:27,974 --> 00:44:30,375
that you can go over. Yeah. No. You

1274
00:44:30,375 --> 00:44:31,974
can't knock them over. Yeah. You can hit

1275
00:44:31,974 --> 00:44:33,014
them in the back of the head with

1276
00:44:33,014 --> 00:44:34,295
a two by four and they will not

1277
00:44:34,295 --> 00:44:35,894
fall down. Yeah. Put put a put a

1278
00:44:35,894 --> 00:44:38,159
quantum computer in there with a, Yeah. Yeah.

1279
00:44:38,159 --> 00:44:39,440
Got a gun in their hand. And they're

1280
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,839
already running races and and doing they've got

1281
00:44:41,839 --> 00:44:43,839
robot Olympics right now. You know what I

1282
00:44:43,839 --> 00:44:46,239
mean? This Yeah. It's it's unending where they're

1283
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:47,920
going. And this thing can all be connected

1284
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:48,739
to a single

1285
00:44:49,039 --> 00:44:52,594
person Yeah. Controlling it all. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.

1286
00:44:53,215 --> 00:44:54,994
We're there, man. Yeah. We are.

1287
00:44:55,855 --> 00:44:58,094
This this beast thing is happening. It's not

1288
00:44:58,094 --> 00:45:00,494
twenty years away anymore. Oh, absolutely not. It

1289
00:45:00,494 --> 00:45:01,775
might not be six months or a year

1290
00:45:01,775 --> 00:45:02,914
away. Yeah. That's right.

1291
00:45:03,535 --> 00:45:05,900
At most, in all honesty, at most, all

1292
00:45:05,900 --> 00:45:07,279
of the technology that

1293
00:45:07,819 --> 00:45:08,319
literally

1294
00:45:08,619 --> 00:45:10,139
twenty years ago when people were saying we're

1295
00:45:10,139 --> 00:45:11,420
there, we're there. I'm like, look. We're twenty

1296
00:45:11,420 --> 00:45:12,559
years out from that technology.

1297
00:45:14,539 --> 00:45:15,279
At most,

1298
00:45:15,819 --> 00:45:17,735
four or five years. Well, where we come

1299
00:45:17,735 --> 00:45:19,335
in a hundred years? Yeah. Hundred years is

1300
00:45:19,335 --> 00:45:20,954
a short span of time

1301
00:45:21,255 --> 00:45:23,815
to get where to get from running around

1302
00:45:23,815 --> 00:45:25,515
in in t models

1303
00:45:26,055 --> 00:45:28,535
to to where we are today, you know,

1304
00:45:28,535 --> 00:45:30,889
with electric. To an electric roadster that can

1305
00:45:30,889 --> 00:45:32,889
run Yeah. You know, four or 500 miles

1306
00:45:32,889 --> 00:45:34,969
an hour. I think that's Knowledge will increase

1307
00:45:34,969 --> 00:45:36,489
and many will go two and That's right.

1308
00:45:36,489 --> 00:45:38,569
Right. That's right. That's exactly what we're seeing.

1309
00:45:38,569 --> 00:45:40,650
Yeah. Knowledge is there there's a stat out

1310
00:45:40,650 --> 00:45:42,009
there. I don't know who keeps track of

1311
00:45:42,009 --> 00:45:44,054
it, but I quoted it one time before.

1312
00:45:45,255 --> 00:45:46,714
It's called knowledge doubling.

1313
00:45:47,734 --> 00:45:49,175
And I can't remember what the rate is

1314
00:45:49,175 --> 00:45:50,454
now. It used to be like every ten

1315
00:45:50,454 --> 00:45:52,694
years knowledge would double in the human race,

1316
00:45:52,694 --> 00:45:54,454
right? Now it's like in a matter of

1317
00:45:54,454 --> 00:45:56,130
weeks and months, it's just

1318
00:45:57,170 --> 00:46:00,369
exploded. Yeah. Exploded. Oh, yeah. And and I

1319
00:46:00,369 --> 00:46:02,949
mean, that's why you can buy an iPhone,

1320
00:46:04,049 --> 00:46:04,869
to tomorrow,

1321
00:46:05,250 --> 00:46:06,309
and it'll be obsolete

1322
00:46:06,929 --> 00:46:09,109
next week. Right? Or the next day.

1323
00:46:09,730 --> 00:46:11,909
That's how that's how fast it is going.

1324
00:46:11,909 --> 00:46:14,089
The computing power in these things is amazing.

1325
00:46:14,089 --> 00:46:16,269
Isn't it crazy? Yeah. We're holding it in

1326
00:46:16,269 --> 00:46:18,722
our end. I started in in 1984

1327
00:46:18,722 --> 00:46:20,902
in Atlanta, AT And T Data Center. And

1328
00:46:20,902 --> 00:46:23,082
this place was massive. I mean, just filled

1329
00:46:23,082 --> 00:46:25,469
with these IBM mainframe computers. They had tapes

1330
00:46:25,469 --> 00:46:27,230
that we had to load on tape machines,

1331
00:46:27,230 --> 00:46:28,750
you know, and they had these disk packs

1332
00:46:28,750 --> 00:46:30,829
and stuff that wouldn't hold nothing Yeah. In

1333
00:46:30,829 --> 00:46:32,750
today's times. Right? Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, one

1334
00:46:32,750 --> 00:46:34,349
of these things would take half that whole

1335
00:46:34,349 --> 00:46:37,550
data center probably. Yeah. It's it's it's amazing.

1336
00:46:37,550 --> 00:46:39,985
That's nineteen eighties. Yeah. Yeah.

1337
00:46:40,445 --> 00:46:41,804
I guess I guess to some people No.

1338
00:46:41,804 --> 00:46:43,804
It seems a long time ago. Yeah. For

1339
00:46:43,804 --> 00:46:45,485
some people, it's not that long ago. I

1340
00:46:45,485 --> 00:46:46,144
don't even

1341
00:46:46,765 --> 00:46:49,085
eighties wasn't that long ago. And and what's

1342
00:46:49,085 --> 00:46:49,985
crazy is

1343
00:46:50,364 --> 00:46:51,420
not even half

1344
00:46:51,980 --> 00:46:53,659
of your iPhone holds what was in those

1345
00:46:53,659 --> 00:46:55,579
data centers back then. Yeah. I mean, we're

1346
00:46:55,579 --> 00:46:58,339
talking about a fraction of it because Yeah.

1347
00:46:58,460 --> 00:47:00,059
You know, my iPhone has a terabyte of

1348
00:47:00,059 --> 00:47:02,940
storage on it. Yeah. Yeah. That wasn't a

1349
00:47:02,940 --> 00:47:05,659
data center in 1980. That was every data

1350
00:47:05,659 --> 00:47:08,034
center in The United States just about except

1351
00:47:08,034 --> 00:47:09,715
for the government controlled ones because those were

1352
00:47:09,715 --> 00:47:11,494
huge. That's why I was working on

1353
00:47:12,034 --> 00:47:14,835
a IBM XT computer in 1987.

1354
00:47:14,835 --> 00:47:17,635
Yeah. Right. Just slow Right. Junk. Yeah. Mud.

1355
00:47:17,635 --> 00:47:18,914
I mean, it was nothing. It was nasty.

1356
00:47:18,914 --> 00:47:20,835
And I finally got me a Compaq three

1357
00:47:20,835 --> 00:47:21,119
eighty

1358
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,240
six. That bad boy had 40 meg hard

1359
00:47:24,240 --> 00:47:24,740
drive.

1360
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,280
Oh my gosh. Like, yeah. Yeah. I'm up

1361
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,160
down now. Up down now. Meg, man. You

1362
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,684
get little zip drives now. I got Absolutely.

1363
00:47:36,824 --> 00:47:38,925
For, you know, for $6.

1364
00:47:39,065 --> 00:47:40,985
Yeah. You can hold more than what that

1365
00:47:40,985 --> 00:47:42,204
hell is. Yeah. Yeah.

1366
00:47:43,385 --> 00:47:45,465
Well, here's the other one, guys. And we

1367
00:47:45,465 --> 00:47:47,945
talked about this a little bit, before we

1368
00:47:47,945 --> 00:47:49,960
came on the air here and kind of

1369
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,519
debated whether we ought to say certain things

1370
00:47:52,519 --> 00:47:53,500
about this. But

1371
00:47:54,599 --> 00:47:56,940
in Matthew 24, Jesus describes

1372
00:47:58,199 --> 00:47:59,880
his coming as it was in the days

1373
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:00,539
of Noah.

1374
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:03,739
They were marrying, giving in marriage,

1375
00:48:04,144 --> 00:48:07,025
eating, drinking, doing just normal life, right? And

1376
00:48:07,025 --> 00:48:08,625
then all of a sudden, bang, it hit

1377
00:48:08,625 --> 00:48:09,925
them. Judgment hit them.

1378
00:48:10,385 --> 00:48:11,284
Same with that.

1379
00:48:11,664 --> 00:48:14,244
And Luke, he also described Sodom and Gomorrah.

1380
00:48:14,304 --> 00:48:16,385
It was like it was just another day

1381
00:48:16,385 --> 00:48:17,400
and it'd be bang.

1382
00:48:19,159 --> 00:48:21,019
And the days of Noah, I think are

1383
00:48:21,159 --> 00:48:22,460
really important because

1384
00:48:23,159 --> 00:48:25,239
if we look back at how it was

1385
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:26,779
in the days of Noah and

1386
00:48:27,319 --> 00:48:30,679
Genesis gives a really brief summary of what

1387
00:48:30,679 --> 00:48:33,325
it was like. Yeah. Right. But there are

1388
00:48:33,325 --> 00:48:36,605
some extra biblical writings and we won't throw

1389
00:48:36,605 --> 00:48:38,625
the warning out here to

1390
00:48:38,925 --> 00:48:41,164
these are extra biblical outside of the Bible

1391
00:48:41,164 --> 00:48:43,425
for a reason. They're not reliable.

1392
00:48:43,724 --> 00:48:46,280
Yeah. And we need to have extreme discernment

1393
00:48:46,420 --> 00:48:48,099
when when we read some of this stuff.

1394
00:48:48,099 --> 00:48:48,579
Yeah.

1395
00:48:49,300 --> 00:48:49,800
That

1396
00:48:50,900 --> 00:48:53,059
they they may have been copied wrong. They

1397
00:48:53,059 --> 00:48:54,660
may have been handed down in bits and

1398
00:48:54,660 --> 00:48:56,579
pieces in in different things. They're just not

1399
00:48:56,579 --> 00:48:58,179
reliable enough to be in the canon of

1400
00:48:58,179 --> 00:48:58,664
scripture.

1401
00:48:59,144 --> 00:49:00,664
And and one of those is a book

1402
00:49:00,664 --> 00:49:03,224
of first Enoch Yeah. Which supposedly was it's

1403
00:49:03,304 --> 00:49:05,085
they call it call it pseudoepigraphical

1404
00:49:05,704 --> 00:49:07,065
or something like that. That's a big old

1405
00:49:07,065 --> 00:49:09,244
word. Yeah. It is. I like watermelon. Yeah.

1406
00:49:09,625 --> 00:49:10,125
Yeah.

1407
00:49:10,505 --> 00:49:11,565
Big old word.

1408
00:49:12,420 --> 00:49:12,659
But,

1409
00:49:13,299 --> 00:49:15,319
it's supposedly written by Enoch

1410
00:49:15,619 --> 00:49:17,380
who was, I think, the seventh from Adam.

1411
00:49:17,380 --> 00:49:19,780
He was before Noah. He's Noah's grandfather, I

1412
00:49:19,780 --> 00:49:22,359
believe. I think it's Methuselah's daddy. Yeah.

1413
00:49:22,739 --> 00:49:25,239
And he he supposedly, he wrote a book.

1414
00:49:25,539 --> 00:49:26,445
And the only

1415
00:49:33,805 --> 00:49:35,965
Testament days and also the Old Testament, I

1416
00:49:35,965 --> 00:49:36,465
believe.

1417
00:49:36,925 --> 00:49:39,005
Oldest copies of this thing have been found,

1418
00:49:39,324 --> 00:49:41,579
predate Jesus by about two two hundred years.

1419
00:49:41,660 --> 00:49:43,260
And I think they used it more historically

1420
00:49:43,260 --> 00:49:44,740
than they did biblically. Yeah. And it was

1421
00:49:44,740 --> 00:49:46,619
a lot more accurate back then most likely.

1422
00:49:46,619 --> 00:49:47,119
Yeah.

1423
00:49:47,500 --> 00:49:49,019
A lot more than it is now because

1424
00:49:49,019 --> 00:49:51,500
it's just been corrupted. Right. But there are

1425
00:49:51,500 --> 00:49:54,460
some things in there where, in Genesis chapter

1426
00:49:54,460 --> 00:49:56,559
six verse four, there's a there's a description,

1427
00:49:58,844 --> 00:49:59,344
of

1428
00:50:00,364 --> 00:50:02,204
the sons Well, how does it phrase it?

1429
00:50:02,204 --> 00:50:03,664
Let me find that real quick.

1430
00:50:04,125 --> 00:50:05,804
The sons of God with the daughters of

1431
00:50:05,804 --> 00:50:07,505
men? Yeah. Yeah. It says,

1432
00:50:09,005 --> 00:50:11,164
The Nephilim were on the earth in those

1433
00:50:11,164 --> 00:50:11,664
days

1434
00:50:12,039 --> 00:50:14,440
and also afterward when the sons of god

1435
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,279
came into the daughters of men and they

1436
00:50:16,279 --> 00:50:18,839
bore children to them, those were the mighty

1437
00:50:18,839 --> 00:50:21,179
men who were of old, men of renowned.

1438
00:50:21,639 --> 00:50:23,159
Right? And that's all it says about it.

1439
00:50:23,159 --> 00:50:24,454
Yeah. Which to

1440
00:50:24,835 --> 00:50:27,555
me, just seems like it it it's awful

1441
00:50:27,555 --> 00:50:29,635
quick. Yeah. Right? Like it was all already

1442
00:50:29,635 --> 00:50:30,454
common knowledge.

1443
00:50:31,155 --> 00:50:33,635
And I believe that these these Nephilim that

1444
00:50:33,635 --> 00:50:36,594
he's talking about here were what we would

1445
00:50:36,594 --> 00:50:39,175
know today as Greek gods. Mhmm. Like,

1446
00:50:39,829 --> 00:50:40,329
Zeus

1447
00:50:40,789 --> 00:50:41,929
and all these guys.

1448
00:50:43,030 --> 00:50:44,949
They came out of these relationships that the

1449
00:50:44,949 --> 00:50:48,090
fallen angels had with the daughters, with

1450
00:50:48,630 --> 00:50:49,690
the women on earth.

1451
00:50:50,230 --> 00:50:52,409
And weird things were born out of

1452
00:50:52,775 --> 00:50:53,914
those those relationships.

1453
00:50:54,375 --> 00:50:56,775
Yeah. Yeah. And a lot of things were

1454
00:50:56,775 --> 00:50:58,454
were being corrupted back in the days of

1455
00:50:58,454 --> 00:51:00,295
Noah. And what what the first book of

1456
00:51:00,295 --> 00:51:01,275
Enoch says,

1457
00:51:01,655 --> 00:51:04,295
what it relates is that, 200 of these

1458
00:51:04,295 --> 00:51:06,235
fallen angels came down on Mount Hermon

1459
00:51:06,549 --> 00:51:08,150
and made a pact among themselves that they

1460
00:51:08,150 --> 00:51:10,150
were going to take wives. And they did

1461
00:51:10,150 --> 00:51:12,630
that and, there's a long story about how,

1462
00:51:13,029 --> 00:51:14,789
they try to get Enoch to go talk

1463
00:51:14,789 --> 00:51:16,469
to God for him and get forgiveness and

1464
00:51:16,469 --> 00:51:18,710
that's all this stuff going on. But a

1465
00:51:18,710 --> 00:51:19,609
lot of DNA

1466
00:51:20,214 --> 00:51:22,635
weird stuff was going on then that corrupted

1467
00:51:22,694 --> 00:51:25,175
the entire human race, the DNA of the

1468
00:51:25,175 --> 00:51:26,554
race of humans.

1469
00:51:26,855 --> 00:51:29,974
And that Noah was perfect in his generations,

1470
00:51:29,974 --> 00:51:32,214
the Bible says, because of his DNA he

1471
00:51:32,214 --> 00:51:33,034
had corrupted.

1472
00:51:34,214 --> 00:51:36,030
It wasn't that he was super righteous and

1473
00:51:36,110 --> 00:51:38,690
super perfect because nobody was. Everybody's sinful.

1474
00:51:38,989 --> 00:51:39,230
But,

1475
00:51:39,869 --> 00:51:41,390
that's kinda where it comes from in that.

1476
00:51:41,390 --> 00:51:43,230
And we're seeing we're seeing some of that

1477
00:51:43,230 --> 00:51:44,050
stuff today

1478
00:51:44,510 --> 00:51:46,670
in in secret labs all over the world

1479
00:51:46,670 --> 00:51:48,909
doing weird, weird things. There's there's one of

1480
00:51:48,909 --> 00:51:52,015
them. Here's here's one. Researchers in China have

1481
00:51:52,015 --> 00:51:53,875
successfully created mice

1482
00:51:54,175 --> 00:51:56,195
that have two fathers and no mother.

1483
00:51:58,894 --> 00:52:00,694
We got we got people playing God Yeah.

1484
00:52:00,815 --> 00:52:02,815
Is what we got. Absolutely. Another one is

1485
00:52:02,815 --> 00:52:04,835
a a company known as Colossal Biosciences

1486
00:52:05,135 --> 00:52:06,430
was able to use genetic

1487
00:52:07,369 --> 00:52:10,170
genetic engineering to bring dire wolves back from

1488
00:52:10,170 --> 00:52:13,130
extinction. Mhmm. Right? Using the DNA they found.

1489
00:52:13,130 --> 00:52:15,289
It's kinda like Jurassic Park kinda stuff. Yeah.

1490
00:52:15,289 --> 00:52:15,789
Yeah.

1491
00:52:16,650 --> 00:52:17,789
Another one is,

1492
00:52:19,130 --> 00:52:21,150
they're building DNA from scratch

1493
00:52:22,784 --> 00:52:25,204
and creating their own DNA. Wow.

1494
00:52:25,744 --> 00:52:26,885
Another one is,

1495
00:52:27,984 --> 00:52:30,484
this this one this one's wild. An embryo

1496
00:52:31,025 --> 00:52:33,905
that had been frozen for thirty years was

1497
00:52:33,905 --> 00:52:35,525
thawed and became a child.

1498
00:52:35,949 --> 00:52:38,429
Wow. And this is this is already a

1499
00:52:38,829 --> 00:52:40,829
Yeah. The the moment of conception has already

1500
00:52:40,829 --> 00:52:42,910
happened. Right. Right. And it's been frozen for

1501
00:52:42,910 --> 00:52:43,650
thirty years.

1502
00:52:44,989 --> 00:52:47,309
And and these things these things are going

1503
00:52:47,309 --> 00:52:48,210
on and and

1504
00:52:49,265 --> 00:52:50,965
these abnormal creations,

1505
00:52:52,224 --> 00:52:54,065
you know, what's what are they gonna be?

1506
00:52:54,065 --> 00:52:55,204
What are they gonna become?

1507
00:52:55,505 --> 00:52:57,204
Right. You know, what

1508
00:52:58,545 --> 00:52:59,425
where is the,

1509
00:53:02,319 --> 00:53:03,920
where is the spirit of god in all

1510
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,239
this? It's not there. It's not there. Yeah.

1511
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:07,839
And and these these are these are people

1512
00:53:07,839 --> 00:53:09,920
doing stuff just because they can. Yeah. Yeah.

1513
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,599
Just playing with it. No with it. Like

1514
00:53:11,599 --> 00:53:13,679
I said, playing God. You know? And and

1515
00:53:13,679 --> 00:53:15,864
you're right. And and the gospel don't put

1516
00:53:15,864 --> 00:53:17,704
up with that. Right? He's not he's not

1517
00:53:17,704 --> 00:53:19,485
gonna let it happen because he knows

1518
00:53:19,864 --> 00:53:22,345
he knows that that that he's the only

1519
00:53:22,345 --> 00:53:23,485
one that can create

1520
00:53:24,025 --> 00:53:27,224
from good. Right? Man, if man creates, we

1521
00:53:27,224 --> 00:53:29,659
create from evil. Yeah. I mean, from the

1522
00:53:29,659 --> 00:53:31,500
very beginning of it. So It it's it's,

1523
00:53:31,900 --> 00:53:34,539
here's here's another one. Stanford University, a team

1524
00:53:34,539 --> 00:53:37,259
of researchers has developed a brain computer interface

1525
00:53:37,259 --> 00:53:39,119
that can literally read minds.

1526
00:53:40,219 --> 00:53:42,059
This is kinda like the Neuralink thing. Yeah.

1527
00:53:42,059 --> 00:53:43,994
With a brain implant. Yeah. They're gonna connect

1528
00:53:43,994 --> 00:53:46,635
you to the Internet. Mhmm. And who knows

1529
00:53:46,635 --> 00:53:49,034
how they control you. Right. Right. Yeah. And

1530
00:53:49,034 --> 00:53:50,554
I I think that ties into the mark

1531
00:53:50,554 --> 00:53:51,994
of the beast. Yeah. And you can you

1532
00:53:51,994 --> 00:53:54,474
imagine people I mean, I can imagine people

1533
00:53:54,474 --> 00:53:56,714
flocking to get that. Right? Yeah. Oh, I'll

1534
00:53:56,714 --> 00:53:58,795
be I'll be the smartest person around. You

1535
00:53:58,795 --> 00:54:00,530
know, I I won't have to even open

1536
00:54:00,530 --> 00:54:01,670
my phone if not.

1537
00:54:01,969 --> 00:54:03,909
I'll have a thought and I'll know everything.

1538
00:54:04,130 --> 00:54:06,769
Yeah. But again, also they'll be able to

1539
00:54:06,769 --> 00:54:09,190
control them. They'll be able to make,

1540
00:54:09,570 --> 00:54:11,730
make their every move. Oh, it'll it'll make

1541
00:54:11,730 --> 00:54:13,492
so much sense to people though. I don't

1542
00:54:13,492 --> 00:54:15,521
have to remember any more passwords or pins,

1543
00:54:15,521 --> 00:54:17,549
man. I I can just pay for stuff

1544
00:54:17,549 --> 00:54:19,578
by thinking it. Yeah. You know, it's like

1545
00:54:19,831 --> 00:54:21,860
Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. People will be excited

1546
00:54:21,860 --> 00:54:23,888
to do it. Yeah. They will. Here's another

1547
00:54:23,888 --> 00:54:27,109
one, company by Bill, backed by Bill Gates,

1548
00:54:27,650 --> 00:54:29,569
would like us to start eating butter that

1549
00:54:29,569 --> 00:54:30,710
is made out of carbon.

1550
00:54:31,809 --> 00:54:34,049
What's wrong with butter? Yeah. Give me some

1551
00:54:34,049 --> 00:54:35,829
give me some more butter. Alright.

1552
00:54:36,130 --> 00:54:37,889
And and number this the seventh one here

1553
00:54:37,889 --> 00:54:40,914
is that scientists in Brazil have created chimeric

1554
00:54:41,054 --> 00:54:43,295
h five n one viruses that did not

1555
00:54:43,295 --> 00:54:45,534
previously exist in in nature. Now we saw

1556
00:54:45,534 --> 00:54:47,775
that with COVID. Right? Yeah. They're they're the

1557
00:54:47,775 --> 00:54:49,775
gain of function research these people are doing,

1558
00:54:49,775 --> 00:54:51,695
creating diseases that don't need to be created

1559
00:54:51,855 --> 00:54:54,114
Yeah. And letting them loose. Right.

1560
00:54:56,090 --> 00:54:58,969
Researchers at Johns Hopkins are creating mini brains

1561
00:54:58,969 --> 00:55:00,590
to study neurological diseases.

1562
00:55:01,530 --> 00:55:02,030
Mhmm.

1563
00:55:02,329 --> 00:55:03,789
Creating human brains.

1564
00:55:04,090 --> 00:55:04,590
Wow.

1565
00:55:07,545 --> 00:55:09,545
Yeah. The monkeypox. And it goes on and

1566
00:55:09,545 --> 00:55:10,284
on and on.

1567
00:55:10,664 --> 00:55:11,804
Here's another headline

1568
00:55:12,264 --> 00:55:15,944
as humanity faces a catastrophic fertility crisis. Oh,

1569
00:55:15,944 --> 00:55:17,724
this is synthetic human DNA.

1570
00:55:18,184 --> 00:55:19,144
Sorry about that. And they're

1571
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:22,679
Sorry about that. No. That seems like a

1572
00:55:22,679 --> 00:55:24,599
kind of important one to me. Yeah. Well,

1573
00:55:24,599 --> 00:55:26,920
I did before. Yeah. Already did. But,

1574
00:55:28,119 --> 00:55:30,699
this one, animal plant hybrids?

1575
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:32,940
What?

1576
00:55:34,144 --> 00:55:35,125
Hybrids between,

1577
00:55:35,744 --> 00:55:38,224
animals and and plants. Wow. No? I don't

1578
00:55:38,385 --> 00:55:39,764
yeah. Because they can't.

1579
00:55:40,704 --> 00:55:41,204
Wow.

1580
00:55:41,585 --> 00:55:43,184
See, this is the stuff that was going

1581
00:55:43,184 --> 00:55:44,704
on in the days of Noah. Right? Yeah.

1582
00:55:44,704 --> 00:55:46,704
It's we're playing God and creating all these

1583
00:55:46,704 --> 00:55:48,565
things that do not need to be created.

1584
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,920
Yeah. And how long I I read one

1585
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,800
story about, some some some researches. I don't

1586
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:55,340
remember where it was in in Asia,

1587
00:55:56,119 --> 00:55:58,059
created a human a human,

1588
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,160
a lifeless human so that they could use

1589
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:02,295
body parts off of it.

1590
00:56:03,494 --> 00:56:05,355
What are we doing? What are we doing?

1591
00:56:05,655 --> 00:56:08,554
So they grew a lot a dead body

1592
00:56:09,414 --> 00:56:11,514
to harvest the organs and body parts.

1593
00:56:13,815 --> 00:56:15,719
Yeah. And it's and this stuff goes on

1594
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:17,000
and on and on. If you just look

1595
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:18,813
around the right places and you see and

1596
00:56:18,813 --> 00:56:20,840
this is this guy's reputable. He's not, you

1597
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,219
know, off in the weed somewhere.

1598
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,480
This stuff is happening and it's not making

1599
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,894
the news. Nobody knows where all this stuff

1600
00:56:27,894 --> 00:56:29,335
is going on with these play people are

1601
00:56:29,335 --> 00:56:31,174
playing God, and who knows what's gonna come

1602
00:56:31,174 --> 00:56:33,194
out of it. Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely.

1603
00:56:34,054 --> 00:56:37,494
And going back to, Nephilim and going thinking

1604
00:56:37,494 --> 00:56:38,394
about the,

1605
00:56:38,934 --> 00:56:41,414
the those sons of God and and more

1606
00:56:41,414 --> 00:56:43,559
than likely, of course, they were fallen angels

1607
00:56:43,559 --> 00:56:45,420
or Yeah. You know, they've been kicked out.

1608
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,160
But when you think about that, it's so

1609
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,079
it was demonic right off the bat. Right.

1610
00:56:51,079 --> 00:56:53,400
Those were those they became demons. Those fallen

1611
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,945
angels became demons. And so if they were

1612
00:56:55,945 --> 00:56:56,764
able to,

1613
00:56:57,224 --> 00:56:59,144
if they were able to procreate with with

1614
00:56:59,144 --> 00:57:01,005
humans and they were able to have children,

1615
00:57:01,224 --> 00:57:03,964
then that means that that DNA line

1616
00:57:04,984 --> 00:57:06,184
continued. Right?

1617
00:57:06,664 --> 00:57:08,719
May may have faded some, but made it

1618
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:10,480
across the ark. So it's probably where we

1619
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,639
got a lot of I mean, probably where

1620
00:57:12,639 --> 00:57:13,679
we got a lot of the,

1621
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:16,639
evil that we got today. Absolutely. Yeah. Well,

1622
00:57:16,639 --> 00:57:18,420
it was I was actually reading,

1623
00:57:19,519 --> 00:57:20,239
there in,

1624
00:57:20,719 --> 00:57:22,400
the notes in my bible that I've got,

1625
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,019
and it was talking about how,

1626
00:57:25,214 --> 00:57:27,534
when you actually look at the reference to

1627
00:57:27,534 --> 00:57:28,034
the

1628
00:57:30,174 --> 00:57:32,815
the Hebrew word used there for nephilium Yeah.

1629
00:57:33,214 --> 00:57:33,714
Which,

1630
00:57:34,014 --> 00:57:36,335
you know, there's really not anything clear making

1631
00:57:36,335 --> 00:57:38,570
it super clear what that is. Right. Right.

1632
00:57:38,570 --> 00:57:40,809
But it occurs there and then it occurs

1633
00:57:40,809 --> 00:57:42,570
in a couple of later scriptures over in

1634
00:57:42,570 --> 00:57:44,190
Numbers. Yeah. And

1635
00:57:44,570 --> 00:57:47,289
they they were commenting about how it's really

1636
00:57:47,289 --> 00:57:49,289
strange because the way it refers to them

1637
00:57:49,289 --> 00:57:51,289
is slightly different and so they know they're

1638
00:57:51,289 --> 00:57:51,789
related,

1639
00:57:52,194 --> 00:57:53,655
but they don't know if

1640
00:57:54,275 --> 00:57:56,594
maybe there was a different event from the

1641
00:57:56,594 --> 00:57:58,755
same event that was there before the flood,

1642
00:57:58,755 --> 00:58:00,674
and it may have been. And and I've

1643
00:58:00,674 --> 00:58:03,255
heard some pastors theorize that it was possibly

1644
00:58:03,315 --> 00:58:05,719
that it it just becomes so prevalent prior

1645
00:58:05,719 --> 00:58:06,460
to the flood

1646
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:08,519
that that was one of the reasons for

1647
00:58:08,519 --> 00:58:11,099
the flood was getting rid of that massive

1648
00:58:11,159 --> 00:58:12,920
number of them that that were running around

1649
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:15,400
everywhere. And then there were some more that

1650
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,559
came along after the flood, but they're not

1651
00:58:17,559 --> 00:58:19,239
the same group. Well, if they still no.

1652
00:58:19,239 --> 00:58:21,244
Yeah. They got mostly wiped out. Sure. They

1653
00:58:21,244 --> 00:58:23,025
they should have they should have been completely

1654
00:58:23,085 --> 00:58:24,765
wiped out and because the only people that

1655
00:58:24,765 --> 00:58:26,305
survived Noah and his family.

1656
00:58:26,765 --> 00:58:29,585
Right. But, if though if those demonic presences,

1657
00:58:30,204 --> 00:58:32,125
were were came back, you know, then they

1658
00:58:32,125 --> 00:58:33,849
could have done it again. Yeah. Yeah. And

1659
00:58:33,849 --> 00:58:35,609
that's the thing about the the these fallen

1660
00:58:35,609 --> 00:58:37,849
angels that that are running around, they know

1661
00:58:37,849 --> 00:58:39,849
a lot more about this the physics and

1662
00:58:39,849 --> 00:58:41,929
this the the science than we do. Sure.

1663
00:58:41,929 --> 00:58:43,769
Yeah. And they can do some crazy stuff.

1664
00:58:43,769 --> 00:58:45,849
Yeah. They were there when it was designed.

1665
00:58:45,849 --> 00:58:46,349
Absolutely.

1666
00:58:46,894 --> 00:58:48,815
Used to say they they are either not

1667
00:58:48,815 --> 00:58:49,635
in the lab

1668
00:58:50,014 --> 00:58:50,514
somewhere

1669
00:58:50,974 --> 00:58:54,094
as a human or or possessed somebody that's

1670
00:58:54,094 --> 00:58:56,014
in the lab, you know. Right. Let me

1671
00:58:56,014 --> 00:58:58,255
tell you something. Possession is real. Right? It

1672
00:58:58,255 --> 00:59:00,255
is. If you if you're a child of

1673
00:59:00,255 --> 00:59:02,094
god, then you cannot be possessed by the

1674
00:59:02,094 --> 00:59:04,230
devil. Now he can he can,

1675
00:59:04,710 --> 00:59:06,949
he can lead your mind. Right? He can

1676
00:59:06,949 --> 00:59:08,710
destroy your mind, but he can't destroy your

1677
00:59:08,710 --> 00:59:09,210
heart,

1678
00:59:09,829 --> 00:59:11,849
your soul, I should say.

1679
00:59:12,789 --> 00:59:14,469
But but he can he can't grab a

1680
00:59:14,469 --> 00:59:16,170
hold of your mind. But if you're lost,

1681
00:59:16,894 --> 00:59:19,934
then he can completely possess you. Right. Yeah.

1682
00:59:19,934 --> 00:59:21,875
You're fair game to to Satan.

1683
00:59:22,815 --> 00:59:24,815
You need the spirit of God and the

1684
00:59:24,815 --> 00:59:26,815
spirit of God is the only thing that

1685
00:59:26,815 --> 00:59:28,494
will save you. That's the possession we all

1686
00:59:28,494 --> 00:59:31,135
need, right? Amen. Amen. And that's ultimately what

1687
00:59:31,135 --> 00:59:33,409
happens to to to the the Antichrist. Right?

1688
00:59:33,409 --> 00:59:35,569
Is he gets possessed by Satan himself. Yeah.

1689
00:59:35,569 --> 00:59:36,069
Yeah.

1690
00:59:36,690 --> 00:59:38,369
That's I don't know, man. I I I

1691
00:59:38,369 --> 00:59:39,569
just I just want to point some of

1692
00:59:39,569 --> 00:59:41,809
this stuff out because we are right there.

1693
00:59:41,809 --> 00:59:44,210
Yeah. We are right there. And another thing

1694
00:59:44,210 --> 00:59:45,909
that we'll talk about during this,

1695
00:59:46,574 --> 00:59:48,335
it's not only the Antichrist, but we'll talk

1696
00:59:48,335 --> 00:59:50,375
about the false prophet that'll come along by

1697
00:59:50,494 --> 00:59:52,434
in in that same time and,

1698
00:59:52,974 --> 00:59:55,234
maybe a little bit about what we think,

1699
00:59:56,014 --> 00:59:58,335
might be what religion that is or what

1700
00:59:58,335 --> 01:00:00,659
group of of religious people that might be,

1701
01:00:00,739 --> 01:00:02,039
or is it something completely,

1702
01:00:03,219 --> 01:00:05,780
that new that hasn't hasn't came up yet?

1703
01:00:05,780 --> 01:00:07,219
But I I see I see a lot

1704
01:00:07,219 --> 01:00:07,719
of,

1705
01:00:08,500 --> 01:00:09,719
I see a lot of possibilities

1706
01:00:10,179 --> 01:00:12,420
in that. You know? Yeah. And and then

1707
01:00:12,420 --> 01:00:13,735
that that Antichrist,

1708
01:00:14,835 --> 01:00:16,675
once he's done with the false prophet and

1709
01:00:16,675 --> 01:00:18,195
he's he's done what he needed him to

1710
01:00:18,195 --> 01:00:19,474
do, then he's gonna get rid of him

1711
01:00:19,474 --> 01:00:21,155
too. Yeah. Yeah. And when we get to

1712
01:00:21,155 --> 01:00:22,934
that, I do I I will say

1713
01:00:23,474 --> 01:00:26,375
the, one of a couple of those possibilities

1714
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,239
are really scary when you look at it.

1715
01:00:29,239 --> 01:00:32,440
Yeah. Because, again, it's not like they're not

1716
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:34,840
out there right now. Yeah. That's true. That's

1717
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,159
true. Yeah. Yeah. I I I really believe

1718
01:00:37,159 --> 01:00:39,559
the antichrist is is, is a full grown

1719
01:00:39,559 --> 01:00:41,984
adult waiting to take over. Yeah. Yeah. Just

1720
01:00:41,984 --> 01:00:43,824
waiting for it. Waiting for that rapture, the

1721
01:00:43,824 --> 01:00:46,304
one that restrains taken away. Yeah. That's right.

1722
01:00:46,304 --> 01:00:48,464
That's right. Yeah. That's the only thing holding

1723
01:00:48,464 --> 01:00:50,724
him back. Yeah. It is. It is. Amen.

1724
01:00:51,105 --> 01:00:51,605
Yeah.

1725
01:00:54,599 --> 01:00:56,760
Alright. Well, that brings us to the end

1726
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:57,339
of it.

1727
01:00:57,639 --> 01:00:58,440
Yeah. And don't

1728
01:00:59,079 --> 01:01:00,599
let me throw it. Don't don't be scared.

1729
01:01:00,599 --> 01:01:02,299
Don't be scared of this stuff. Yeah.

1730
01:01:02,599 --> 01:01:04,519
What what we talked about sounds kinda scary

1731
01:01:04,519 --> 01:01:05,719
to to a lot of people. I know

1732
01:01:05,719 --> 01:01:08,164
it does. And I know Revelation scares people.

1733
01:01:08,785 --> 01:01:10,465
But, man, this is this is our hope.

1734
01:01:10,465 --> 01:01:11,985
And and what where would we be if

1735
01:01:11,985 --> 01:01:13,505
God hadn't told us about this stuff up

1736
01:01:13,505 --> 01:01:15,105
front. Right? And we need to look at

1737
01:01:15,105 --> 01:01:15,765
it. And

1738
01:01:17,265 --> 01:01:19,344
and and and this this is we build

1739
01:01:19,344 --> 01:01:21,150
each other up with this stuff. That's right.

1740
01:01:21,150 --> 01:01:22,989
Rejoice in this stuff. Amen. Because we ain't

1741
01:01:22,989 --> 01:01:24,449
gonna be here. Yeah. Absolutely.

1742
01:01:24,829 --> 01:01:26,750
And and and remember that all of the

1743
01:01:26,750 --> 01:01:28,589
stuff that we're that we're gonna be talking

1744
01:01:28,589 --> 01:01:29,789
about and all the stuff as we go

1745
01:01:29,789 --> 01:01:31,630
into it in Revelation, I always tell people

1746
01:01:31,630 --> 01:01:32,929
when you're studying it,

1747
01:01:34,144 --> 01:01:36,704
you gotta remember how it ends. Yeah. Because

1748
01:01:36,704 --> 01:01:37,764
it doesn't end

1749
01:01:38,464 --> 01:01:41,264
with with God losing. It doesn't end with

1750
01:01:41,264 --> 01:01:42,804
Christ No. Failing

1751
01:01:43,184 --> 01:01:45,444
humanity and just wiping us all out,

1752
01:01:45,905 --> 01:01:46,885
which what we deserve.

1753
01:01:47,809 --> 01:01:49,510
What he ought to do with us is

1754
01:01:49,730 --> 01:01:51,650
wipe us out and start over. We're chalk

1755
01:01:51,650 --> 01:01:53,329
us up to a bad idea. We've proven

1756
01:01:53,329 --> 01:01:55,170
it over and over and over. What it

1757
01:01:55,170 --> 01:01:57,489
ends with is him proving that he loves

1758
01:01:57,489 --> 01:01:59,349
us so much that he does

1759
01:01:59,875 --> 01:02:02,595
everything he can possibly do to get our

1760
01:02:02,595 --> 01:02:04,835
attention. And what it ends with is with

1761
01:02:04,835 --> 01:02:07,715
us standing back and watching him deal with

1762
01:02:07,715 --> 01:02:10,434
Satan and watching him deal with the with

1763
01:02:10,434 --> 01:02:12,869
the antichrist and watching him deal with the

1764
01:02:12,950 --> 01:02:14,710
the false prophet and throw them into the

1765
01:02:14,710 --> 01:02:16,730
lake of fire, which burns forever and throw

1766
01:02:16,789 --> 01:02:18,150
all of death, hell into the grave in

1767
01:02:18,150 --> 01:02:19,670
the lake of fire. Yeah. We're coming back

1768
01:02:19,670 --> 01:02:21,690
right behind it. To take the whole universe

1769
01:02:21,750 --> 01:02:23,590
and throw it in there and then start

1770
01:02:23,590 --> 01:02:25,724
us a brand new one that doesn't have

1771
01:02:25,724 --> 01:02:27,644
sin, that doesn't have Satan, that doesn't have

1772
01:02:27,644 --> 01:02:29,965
temptation, that doesn't have the the fallen, that

1773
01:02:29,965 --> 01:02:30,785
doesn't have

1774
01:02:31,164 --> 01:02:33,885
any of the imperfections and things that, by

1775
01:02:33,885 --> 01:02:36,224
the way, God didn't design in the universe.

1776
01:02:36,364 --> 01:02:38,445
We did that. Yeah. Adam and Eve did

1777
01:02:38,445 --> 01:02:40,869
that. Well, that that's on us. And here

1778
01:02:40,869 --> 01:02:42,869
here's here's the thing here's the crazy thing

1779
01:02:42,869 --> 01:02:44,949
when he comes back and we come back

1780
01:02:44,949 --> 01:02:46,469
with him we're gonna be dressed in white.

1781
01:02:46,469 --> 01:02:48,489
Yeah. And then we got this description right?

1782
01:02:48,949 --> 01:02:50,550
You don't go into war dressed in white.

1783
01:02:50,550 --> 01:02:52,869
No. No. We're we're spectators in this thing

1784
01:02:52,869 --> 01:02:54,230
and we're coming back with him and we're

1785
01:02:54,230 --> 01:02:55,724
gonna be like go get them, god. You

1786
01:02:55,724 --> 01:02:58,125
know? Yeah. That's right. Go get the bread.

1787
01:02:58,125 --> 01:03:00,365
The lamb. He's dressed in red. He is.

1788
01:03:00,525 --> 01:03:02,684
Little dipped in blood. That's right. Yes. Yes.

1789
01:03:02,684 --> 01:03:04,045
And and we're not gonna get a spot

1790
01:03:04,045 --> 01:03:05,805
of blood on us because we're gonna wipe

1791
01:03:05,805 --> 01:03:07,505
them out, boom, and and

1792
01:03:07,805 --> 01:03:08,865
ride every wrong.

1793
01:03:09,380 --> 01:03:11,860
I wanna read the first three verses of

1794
01:03:11,860 --> 01:03:14,260
Revelation, and I want you to maybe maybe

1795
01:03:14,260 --> 01:03:16,679

1799
01:03:22,974 --> 01:03:25,235
it. And this is what John the revelator

1800
01:03:25,295 --> 01:03:27,795
said. This is what he wrote in Revelation

1801
01:03:27,934 --> 01:03:28,835
chapter one,

1802
01:03:29,375 --> 01:03:30,914

1803
01:03:31,775 --> 01:03:34,014
The revelation of Jesus Christ. This is what

1804
01:03:34,014 --> 01:03:35,855
they say is. Right? This is this is

about Jesus. Amen.

1807
01:03:39,969 --> 01:03:43,010
Which god gave unto him to show unto

1808
01:03:43,010 --> 01:03:44,389

1809
01:03:44,769 --> 01:03:46,949

01:03:47,329 --> 01:03:50,769
Shortly Yeah. Or very soon. Yeah. Shortly come

01:03:50,769 --> 01:03:53,164
to pass. And he sent he

1812
01:03:54,425 --> 01:03:55,965
sent and signified

1813
01:03:56,744 --> 01:03:59,324
it by his angel under the servant John,

1814
01:03:59,785 --> 01:04:01,945
who bear record of the word of God,

1815
01:04:01,945 --> 01:04:04,585
of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of

1816
01:04:04,585 --> 01:04:06,869
all the things that he saw. Now listen

1817
01:04:06,869 --> 01:04:07,849
to verse three.

1818
01:04:08,389 --> 01:04:08,889
Blessed

1819
01:04:09,269 --> 01:04:11,130
is he that readeth

1820
01:04:12,230 --> 01:04:14,710
and they that hear the words of this

1821
01:04:14,710 --> 01:04:15,210
prophecy

1822
01:04:15,909 --> 01:04:18,170
and keep those things which are written

1823
01:04:18,469 --> 01:04:18,969
therein

1824
01:04:19,750 --> 01:04:22,010
for the time is at hand. Amen.

1825
01:04:22,385 --> 01:04:22,885
Amen.

1826
01:04:23,905 --> 01:04:26,464
So listen. Sit in on this this study

1827
01:04:26,704 --> 01:04:29,505
Yeah. Of revelation with us. You will be

1828
01:04:29,505 --> 01:04:32,224
blessed. You will, you will be blessed if

1829
01:04:32,224 --> 01:04:33,824
you read it. You'll be blessed if you

1830
01:04:33,824 --> 01:04:34,289
hear it.

1831
01:04:35,090 --> 01:04:36,610
One of the things I believe that we're

1832
01:04:36,610 --> 01:04:38,369
gonna be blessed for because we know that

1833
01:04:38,369 --> 01:04:40,469
we're not here, right, during this time,

1834
01:04:41,090 --> 01:04:43,489
and after at least after chapter three, and

1835
01:04:43,489 --> 01:04:46,050
we'll talk about that also. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

1836
01:04:46,050 --> 01:04:47,750
And I I like I like first Thessalonians

1837
01:04:47,969 --> 01:04:49,994
five, you know, where where Paul's talking about

1838
01:04:50,555 --> 01:04:51,295
the the rapture.

1839
01:04:51,755 --> 01:04:53,914
He says, for God has not destined us

1840
01:04:53,914 --> 01:04:56,315
for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our

1841
01:04:56,315 --> 01:04:58,875
Lord Jesus Christ who died for us. Yeah.

1842
01:04:58,875 --> 01:05:01,035
So that whether we are awake or asleep,

1843
01:05:01,035 --> 01:05:03,489
we will live together with him. Therefore, encourage

1844
01:05:03,489 --> 01:05:06,089
one another Amen. And build up one another

1845
01:05:06,089 --> 01:05:07,949
just as you are also doing. Amen.

1846
01:05:08,250 --> 01:05:10,409
Amen. It's good news. Yeah. It is good

1847
01:05:10,409 --> 01:05:12,170
news. And God so loved the world that

1848
01:05:12,170 --> 01:05:14,349
he gave his only begotten son that whosoever

1849
01:05:14,489 --> 01:05:16,650
believes in him would not perish. But have

1850
01:05:16,650 --> 01:05:18,585
everlasting life. Amen. Amen.

1851
01:05:19,144 --> 01:05:21,144
And he's coming back? Yes, sir. He's coming

1852
01:05:21,144 --> 01:05:23,625
back. He promised. He promised us. He's coming

1853
01:05:23,625 --> 01:05:25,224
back, and he's gonna take care of all

1854
01:05:25,224 --> 01:05:27,144
the wrongs. He's gonna make it all right.

1855
01:05:27,144 --> 01:05:28,664
Yeah. And he's gonna wipe every tear from

1856
01:05:28,664 --> 01:05:29,644
our eyes. Amen.

1857
01:05:30,025 --> 01:05:31,464
And we and we will get to be

1858
01:05:31,464 --> 01:05:33,030
with him forever. Sure. And we will get

1859
01:05:33,030 --> 01:05:34,710
to to experience him in a way that

1860
01:05:34,710 --> 01:05:36,650
we have never ever

1861
01:05:37,190 --> 01:05:39,269
ever imagined. That's right. I mean, our our

1862
01:05:39,269 --> 01:05:40,250
brains cannot

1863
01:05:40,949 --> 01:05:41,449
comprehend

1864
01:05:41,829 --> 01:05:43,989
That's right. What is coming. Yeah. And that's

1865
01:05:43,989 --> 01:05:45,735
why we look at that. We are looking

1866
01:05:45,974 --> 01:05:48,454
forward to the good things that God has

1867
01:05:48,454 --> 01:05:51,095
for us. And and, you know, John made

1868
01:05:51,095 --> 01:05:53,575
very clear, blessed is he who reads these

1869
01:05:53,575 --> 01:05:56,394
words. Brett, blessed. And by the way, reading,

1870
01:05:57,815 --> 01:05:59,494
when he said that back then, that didn't

1871
01:05:59,494 --> 01:06:01,015
mean reading it to yourself in a room

1872
01:06:01,015 --> 01:06:03,230
alone somewhere. Yeah. No. To when when they

1873
01:06:03,230 --> 01:06:05,309
use the word reading, he meant out loud

1874
01:06:05,469 --> 01:06:08,269
Yeah. Where everybody could hear. Yeah. Yep. Yeah.

1875
01:06:08,269 --> 01:06:10,190
And so blessed is the reader and blessed

1876
01:06:10,190 --> 01:06:12,269
is the one who hears. So these are

1877
01:06:12,269 --> 01:06:14,349
not words that are that are meant to

1878
01:06:14,349 --> 01:06:16,030
be something that scares us or that we

1879
01:06:16,030 --> 01:06:17,684
should stay away from. I know it can

1880
01:06:17,684 --> 01:06:19,864
be scary, but it is a blessing

1881
01:06:20,325 --> 01:06:20,905
to hear

1882
01:06:21,364 --> 01:06:23,684
to to read it out loud and to

1883
01:06:23,684 --> 01:06:25,765
hear it. It is a blessing and God

1884
01:06:25,844 --> 01:06:27,684
when God gives us a promise like that

1885
01:06:27,684 --> 01:06:29,400
and says, I'm gonna bless you for this,

1886
01:06:29,559 --> 01:06:31,239
boy, you better be willing to reach out

1887
01:06:31,239 --> 01:06:33,480
and take it. With blessings, I'm gonna bless

1888
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:35,339
you with multiplying and multiplying

1889
01:06:35,639 --> 01:06:36,139
you.

1890
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:39,000
Yes. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. One on top

1891
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:40,920
of the other. Just stack them, baby. Stack

1892
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:41,420
them.

1893
01:06:42,925 --> 01:06:45,164
So we definitely look forward to see you

1894
01:06:45,164 --> 01:06:46,545
guys in two weeks.

1895
01:06:46,925 --> 01:06:47,425
And,

1896
01:06:48,204 --> 01:06:50,045

what the end is, that we would be

1907
01:07:11,394 --> 01:07:13,554
hopeless and helpless if we didn't know, and

01:07:40,594 --> 01:07:42,855
be encouraged to be built up to know

1922
01:07:42,914 --> 01:07:44,355

1944
01:08:42,454 --> 01:08:45,354
I once was blind and now I see

1945
01:08:45,814 --> 01:08:46,314
truth

1946
01:08:46,854 --> 01:08:47,939
set me free.

1947
01:08:50,020 --> 01:08:50,520
Oh,

1948
01:08:50,859 --> 01:08:51,359
oh,

1949
01:08:51,699 --> 01:08:52,199

1950
01:08:52,659 --> 01:08:54,119
set me free.

1951
01:08:54,819 --> 01:08:55,319
Oh,

1952
01:08:56,340 --> 01:08:57,000
oh, truth

1953
01:08:58,579 --> 01:09:00,119
set me free.
