1
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,019
And change I was bound,

2
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:12,980
I was a madman on the run.

3
00:00:13,839 --> 00:00:15,974
Through the hills I wandered,

4
00:01:00,289 --> 00:01:02,710
Welcome to Tell the Truth, a weekly podcast

5
00:01:02,770 --> 00:01:05,510
about faith, current events, and life in general,

6
00:01:05,729 --> 00:01:07,989
brought to you from Mountain View Baptist Church

7
00:01:08,129 --> 00:01:10,950
live every Monday night at 6PM

8
00:01:11,250 --> 00:01:12,150
central time.

9
00:01:12,555 --> 00:01:13,055
And

10
00:01:14,075 --> 00:01:15,295
welcome back, everybody.

11
00:01:15,754 --> 00:01:17,594
Boy, it's good to be back this week.

12
00:01:17,594 --> 00:01:18,254
Had a

13
00:01:18,635 --> 00:01:20,015
great Sunday yesterday.

14
00:01:21,034 --> 00:01:22,635
That that was really good. We had a

15
00:01:22,635 --> 00:01:23,355
pastor from,

16
00:01:23,995 --> 00:01:25,109
Uganda. Uh-huh.

17
00:01:25,510 --> 00:01:27,590
Came over and he he preached for us

18
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:29,590
yesterday morning, and that was that was something

19
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:31,189
else. That was something else, getting to hear

20
00:01:31,189 --> 00:01:33,189
the ministry he does and all of that.

21
00:01:33,189 --> 00:01:34,629
So that was a good way to start

22
00:01:34,629 --> 00:01:35,849
the week off. Amen.

23
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:38,469
And, and also a nice question to ask

24
00:01:38,469 --> 00:01:40,010
everybody, hey. What are you doing?

25
00:01:41,245 --> 00:01:42,924
Yeah. You're waiting on God, but what are

26
00:01:42,924 --> 00:01:44,765
you doing while you're waiting? It was like,

27
00:01:44,765 --> 00:01:45,825
oh. That's what I mean.

28
00:01:47,084 --> 00:01:48,844
And boy, I tell you that that hits

29
00:01:48,844 --> 00:01:50,924
different when it's somebody from a pastor out

30
00:01:50,924 --> 00:01:52,604
of a place like that. Yeah. It really

31
00:01:52,604 --> 00:01:54,989
does. It hits very different. It's like, oh,

32
00:01:55,069 --> 00:01:56,909
he he means it. Because because you're saying

33
00:01:56,909 --> 00:01:59,229
something all the time. Yeah. Yeah. There's something

34
00:01:59,229 --> 00:02:01,229
you don't think of to a bicycle ministry.

35
00:02:01,229 --> 00:02:02,530
Yeah. That crazy? Yeah.

36
00:02:02,989 --> 00:02:04,670
Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, they don't have

37
00:02:04,670 --> 00:02:06,989
cars. Yeah. And it's either that or walking.

38
00:02:06,989 --> 00:02:09,550
Yeah. Goodness. He said someone go 15 miles

39
00:02:09,550 --> 00:02:11,514
to church. And that's just I mean, that's

40
00:02:11,514 --> 00:02:14,395
just his third ministry. It's like the bicycle

41
00:02:14,395 --> 00:02:15,455
ministry, the orphanage

42
00:02:15,754 --> 00:02:17,694
Yeah. And and church

43
00:02:17,995 --> 00:02:20,254
that he pastors. So Yeah. Yeah. That's amazing.

44
00:02:20,314 --> 00:02:21,935
A lot a lot going on there.

45
00:02:23,275 --> 00:02:25,115
I I've I've seen some pictures of of

46
00:02:25,115 --> 00:02:26,459
the the bicycles.

47
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:28,840
He had shown me before he showed us

48
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,319
a little slide up there, and and they

49
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:31,800
had,

50
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,060
they had cropped.

51
00:02:35,239 --> 00:02:37,080
They they were also working in the field

52
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,400
for those bikes, and they were cropped hanging

53
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,620
off both sides

54
00:02:41,425 --> 00:02:42,805
of that bike. It was

55
00:02:43,264 --> 00:02:44,784
I I couldn't believe I I don't even

56
00:02:44,784 --> 00:02:47,185
know how they how they Yeah. Rode the

57
00:02:47,185 --> 00:02:49,584
bicycle with with I mean, it was piled

58
00:02:49,584 --> 00:02:50,944
on there like you'd pile up in a

59
00:02:50,944 --> 00:02:53,264
truck or something. And one of them had

60
00:02:53,264 --> 00:02:55,025
hay on both sides of it. You know?

61
00:02:55,025 --> 00:02:56,979
I mean, they make really good use out

62
00:02:56,979 --> 00:02:58,900
of it. They tied in there. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Man, I hope it's dull.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, one big event today. But

78
00:03:32,650 --> 00:03:34,349
Well, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

79
00:03:34,650 --> 00:03:35,150
Yeah.

80
00:03:36,010 --> 00:03:38,409
Diane's grandmother passed away today, and I hated

81
00:03:38,409 --> 00:03:40,990
hated that, but she was she was ready.

82
00:03:41,210 --> 00:03:41,625
She's

83
00:03:42,025 --> 00:03:44,425
96 years old. Wow. What a blessing and

84
00:03:44,425 --> 00:03:46,504
served the Lord all these years. Yeah. And

85
00:03:46,504 --> 00:03:48,504
and didn't didn't suffer a long time, you

86
00:03:48,504 --> 00:03:49,865
know. And and so it was it was

87
00:03:49,865 --> 00:03:52,585
merciful. It was it was time. That's awesome.

88
00:03:52,585 --> 00:03:54,284
She's worked out in her garden,

89
00:03:54,689 --> 00:03:57,729
people just recently. Yeah. A great day this

90
00:03:57,729 --> 00:03:58,789
past summer. Yeah.

91
00:03:59,090 --> 00:03:59,590
Yeah.

92
00:04:00,769 --> 00:04:02,129
You said she was saved when she was

93
00:04:02,129 --> 00:04:04,150
15 years old? 15 years old. Wow.

94
00:04:04,530 --> 00:04:07,650
Good. Yes. Yeah. Pretty awesome. That that's an

95
00:04:07,650 --> 00:04:09,430
awesome testimony right there. Yeah.

96
00:04:10,064 --> 00:04:12,064
Yeah. Brother Brian, how are you doing today?

97
00:04:12,064 --> 00:04:14,485
I'm great. I'm doing good. Yeah. Absolutely.

98
00:04:14,864 --> 00:04:15,844
Good. Absolutely.

99
00:04:16,544 --> 00:04:17,605
Alright. Well,

100
00:04:18,544 --> 00:04:20,785
one little housekeeping note before we get started

101
00:04:20,785 --> 00:04:21,185
in that.

102
00:04:21,745 --> 00:04:24,084
I I very much enjoyed not

103
00:04:26,939 --> 00:04:28,879
sacrificing sleep last week.

104
00:04:30,459 --> 00:04:32,139
So, from now on, I think I'm gonna

105
00:04:32,139 --> 00:04:33,660
do the same thing I kinda did. Though

106
00:04:33,660 --> 00:04:35,259
the timeline hopefully will be a little bit

107
00:04:35,259 --> 00:04:36,639
cleaner where the

108
00:04:37,180 --> 00:04:37,680
episode,

109
00:04:38,414 --> 00:04:41,214
the recording of tonight and the live stream

110
00:04:41,214 --> 00:04:43,235
itself is gonna stay out there on Rumble

111
00:04:43,294 --> 00:04:43,794
until

112
00:04:44,254 --> 00:04:44,754
I,

113
00:04:45,694 --> 00:04:47,555
until I get around to actually,

114
00:04:49,694 --> 00:04:52,599
converting it and I'll do my processing and

115
00:04:52,599 --> 00:04:54,519
post conversion and all that stuff on it,

116
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,120
like, tomorrow or something. Or I'll do part

117
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,399
of it tonight and part of it tomorrow

118
00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:01,159
and things like that. Don't get yourself over

119
00:05:01,159 --> 00:05:03,879
it. Yeah. So, it'll it'll go out. If

120
00:05:03,879 --> 00:05:06,039
somebody happens to watch the live or catches

121
00:05:06,039 --> 00:05:07,214
us in the middle of

122
00:05:07,514 --> 00:05:10,894
it, but or watches the the recording later,

123
00:05:11,355 --> 00:05:12,875
it will go out on all the other

124
00:05:12,875 --> 00:05:13,375
platforms,

125
00:05:13,915 --> 00:05:15,134
tomorrow or Wednesday,

126
00:05:15,834 --> 00:05:17,675
just just because that that was kind of

127
00:05:17,675 --> 00:05:20,240
nice because usually I'll end up starting stuff

128
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,000
and I'm I'm falling asleep in the middle

129
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,379
of it. So, yeah.

130
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,919
I've gotten lazy as a as a. Put

131
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:28,240
your overtime pay for that. You know? Yeah.

132
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,660
Well, I think I'll sacrifice it.

133
00:05:32,535 --> 00:05:34,294
If you go from zero to zero. That's

134
00:05:34,294 --> 00:05:36,214
right. Time and a half of zero is,

135
00:05:36,454 --> 00:05:39,595
still zero. So Sorry. This is true.

136
00:05:39,975 --> 00:05:40,634
Oh, man.

137
00:05:41,574 --> 00:05:43,834
Well, tonight, we are, starting

138
00:05:44,214 --> 00:05:44,714
in

139
00:05:45,250 --> 00:05:47,730
to before we get into the real meat

140
00:05:47,730 --> 00:05:49,250
of Revelation, we're gonna go and we're gonna

141
00:05:49,250 --> 00:05:51,009
touch on some in Daniel, I believe is

142
00:05:51,009 --> 00:05:52,389
what we've decided to do.

143
00:05:53,089 --> 00:05:54,709
So we're gonna go and

144
00:05:55,089 --> 00:05:56,930
talk about that to kind of put things

145
00:05:56,930 --> 00:05:57,829
in context.

146
00:05:58,529 --> 00:06:00,209
And, you know, one of the things I

147
00:06:00,209 --> 00:06:00,709
realized

148
00:06:01,625 --> 00:06:03,644
actually today as I was thinking over it,

149
00:06:03,785 --> 00:06:06,185
I I finally realized that I or at

150
00:06:06,185 --> 00:06:08,185
least partially I think part of the reason

151
00:06:08,185 --> 00:06:10,425
that people have a tendency to stay away

152
00:06:10,425 --> 00:06:11,245
from revelation,

153
00:06:11,785 --> 00:06:12,285
and

154
00:06:12,745 --> 00:06:15,384
not take the time to understand it is,

155
00:06:16,209 --> 00:06:17,509
you know, that

156
00:06:18,289 --> 00:06:20,289
that view of Jesus as being just our

157
00:06:20,289 --> 00:06:21,829
buddy and our friend and,

158
00:06:22,209 --> 00:06:24,129
you know, it's all about the love and

159
00:06:24,129 --> 00:06:24,629
the

160
00:06:25,250 --> 00:06:27,169
the camaraderie and all of that and it's

161
00:06:27,169 --> 00:06:29,649
like, you know, I think you forget I

162
00:06:29,649 --> 00:06:31,509
think a lot of modern Christians forget,

163
00:06:32,104 --> 00:06:33,485
he's our king first.

164
00:06:34,024 --> 00:06:35,785
Yeah. He is. He called his friend. He

165
00:06:35,785 --> 00:06:37,384
he said, you know, there's no greater love

166
00:06:37,384 --> 00:06:39,064
than this that a man get lay down

167
00:06:39,064 --> 00:06:40,664
his life for his friends, and we're the

168
00:06:40,664 --> 00:06:42,104
ones he laid his life down for. So

169
00:06:42,104 --> 00:06:44,425
he was calling us friend, but first and

170
00:06:44,425 --> 00:06:46,529
foremost, he's our king. Yeah. Yeah. And he

171
00:06:46,529 --> 00:06:50,370
is holy, holy, holy. Holy, holy, holy and

172
00:06:50,370 --> 00:06:51,509
everything that happens

173
00:06:52,050 --> 00:06:54,370
that Daniel's talking about, the Revelation is talking

174
00:06:54,370 --> 00:06:55,669
about, all of these things

175
00:06:56,290 --> 00:06:58,389
is the judgment of the king

176
00:06:59,089 --> 00:07:00,149
on his creation.

177
00:07:00,529 --> 00:07:02,605
Yeah. And so he has the right to

178
00:07:02,605 --> 00:07:04,524
judge it. He has the ability to judge

179
00:07:04,524 --> 00:07:06,845
it. And like I say, first and foremost,

180
00:07:06,845 --> 00:07:07,745
he's our king,

181
00:07:08,125 --> 00:07:09,504
then he's our savior.

182
00:07:09,884 --> 00:07:12,605
Yeah. And then he's our friend. Amen. But

183
00:07:12,605 --> 00:07:14,845
it's king, savior, friend. And we always I

184
00:07:14,845 --> 00:07:16,459
think sometimes we get that a little out

185
00:07:16,459 --> 00:07:17,839
of order sometimes because

186
00:07:18,220 --> 00:07:19,740
as great as it is as he's our

187
00:07:19,740 --> 00:07:21,740
savior, he's not our savior if he's not

188
00:07:21,740 --> 00:07:22,959
our king. That's right.

189
00:07:23,259 --> 00:07:25,180
And so, you know, it's it's that order.

190
00:07:25,180 --> 00:07:26,779
He is king of the universe, he is

191
00:07:26,779 --> 00:07:28,995
our personal savior, and then he's our friend.

192
00:07:28,995 --> 00:07:30,274
So when you go to him, yes, we

193
00:07:30,274 --> 00:07:31,175
can go boldly,

194
00:07:31,475 --> 00:07:33,334
but you better go boldly on your knees.

195
00:07:33,555 --> 00:07:34,995
Yeah. You're gonna be going on your knees

196
00:07:34,995 --> 00:07:37,495
before a holy, righteous God. That's right. Exactly.

197
00:07:37,714 --> 00:07:40,115
That's that's what that's the standing. Yeah. Daniel.

198
00:07:40,115 --> 00:07:41,794
Daniel is, one of my favorite books of

199
00:07:41,794 --> 00:07:43,014
the bible, man. It's,

200
00:07:43,410 --> 00:07:44,850
and I think it I think this is

201
00:07:44,850 --> 00:07:47,490
really important for us to cover because, there's

202
00:07:47,490 --> 00:07:48,790
so much in common

203
00:07:49,250 --> 00:07:49,650
between,

204
00:07:50,050 --> 00:07:51,029
Daniel and Revelation.

205
00:07:52,610 --> 00:07:54,610
A lot of the same symbology is there.

206
00:07:54,770 --> 00:07:56,210
A lot of a lot of things that

207
00:07:56,210 --> 00:07:59,274
we know about Revelation come from Daniel. A

208
00:07:59,274 --> 00:08:01,834
lot more details about the antichrist. It's got

209
00:08:01,834 --> 00:08:04,074
details about the whole timeline. And I like

210
00:08:04,074 --> 00:08:05,595
I like to look at Daniel as kind

211
00:08:05,595 --> 00:08:07,834
of the old testament revelation. Yeah. But it

212
00:08:07,834 --> 00:08:10,334
gives, like, the big picture. Sure. And revelation

213
00:08:10,475 --> 00:08:11,375
is a

214
00:08:12,110 --> 00:08:14,670
a more specific piece of Daniel, of the

215
00:08:14,670 --> 00:08:16,750
prophecies from Daniel. Yeah. And and the book

216
00:08:16,750 --> 00:08:17,889
of Daniel is just

217
00:08:18,269 --> 00:08:20,750
flat out amazing. And and the accuracy and

218
00:08:20,750 --> 00:08:22,990
and and the prophecies of it. A lot

219
00:08:22,990 --> 00:08:25,115
of this stuff has already already been fulfilled.

220
00:08:25,335 --> 00:08:27,335
Yeah. Tons of it have already been fulfilled.

221
00:08:27,335 --> 00:08:28,855
That's right. Just right down to the to

222
00:08:28,855 --> 00:08:30,694
the To the teeth. To the letter. Yeah.

223
00:08:30,694 --> 00:08:33,014
Just perfectly. Yeah. And I I I just

224
00:08:33,095 --> 00:08:34,475
I I think it would be helpful,

225
00:08:34,855 --> 00:08:36,870
before we jump into revelation to to cover

226
00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:38,629
this stuff and and because it it does.

227
00:08:38,629 --> 00:08:40,309
It gives a lot of background of of

228
00:08:40,309 --> 00:08:43,590
what Revelation's about. Amen. Amen. Yeah. Brother Dan

229
00:08:43,590 --> 00:08:44,649
has done a great,

230
00:08:45,029 --> 00:08:47,269
study on most of it come from Revelation

231
00:08:47,509 --> 00:08:49,370
I mean, from Daniel chapter nine,

232
00:08:49,830 --> 00:08:51,269
with us on Wednesday night,

233
00:08:51,815 --> 00:08:53,815
just a few months ago. I guess, last

234
00:08:53,815 --> 00:08:55,975
year or sometime. I could never know. Time

235
00:08:55,975 --> 00:08:57,495
gets away from me, but but done a

236
00:08:57,495 --> 00:08:58,315
great job last week.

237
00:08:59,254 --> 00:09:01,174
So so a lot of that will come

238
00:09:01,174 --> 00:09:02,855
from that tonight, but we yeah. So we

239
00:09:03,014 --> 00:09:04,695
let's dig into it. Yeah. Let's do it.

240
00:09:04,695 --> 00:09:06,454
And and I I again, I don't wanna

241
00:09:06,454 --> 00:09:08,429
do any any kind of in-depth on Daniel.

242
00:09:08,429 --> 00:09:09,949
That's that's not what we're shooting for here.

243
00:09:09,949 --> 00:09:12,429
We're we're focused on Revelation. But but I

244
00:09:12,429 --> 00:09:13,070
do wanna hit,

245
00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:15,709
kinda quickly on on on some of the

246
00:09:15,709 --> 00:09:17,549
key parts. Daniel is an awesome book. It's

247
00:09:17,549 --> 00:09:20,125
got some, got some really neat stories in

248
00:09:20,125 --> 00:09:21,644
it, you know, like Daniel in the lion's

249
00:09:21,644 --> 00:09:22,445
den. Yeah.

250
00:09:22,924 --> 00:09:25,245
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. The three guys in

251
00:09:25,245 --> 00:09:27,004
the fire, but there's four men there. That's

252
00:09:27,004 --> 00:09:29,004
right. That story's in here. There's a lot

253
00:09:29,004 --> 00:09:30,605
of really good stuff, but I just wanna

254
00:09:30,605 --> 00:09:32,044
hit on the prophecy parts of it and

255
00:09:32,044 --> 00:09:34,705
maybe hit quickly on on some of it.

256
00:09:34,940 --> 00:09:37,179
But, really the first part of it starts

257
00:09:37,179 --> 00:09:38,559
in Daniel chapter two.

258
00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:40,399
And, King Nebuchadnezzar,

259
00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:41,919
a guy that

260
00:09:42,459 --> 00:09:43,679
we may have heard of,

261
00:09:44,139 --> 00:09:46,159
has a dream. Yeah. And

262
00:09:46,620 --> 00:09:48,835
he goes to his, his they call him

263
00:09:48,835 --> 00:09:51,654
the Chaldeans. They're they're like his magicians and

264
00:09:51,955 --> 00:09:52,455
prophet,

265
00:09:53,075 --> 00:09:55,315
pagan prophet kind of guys. And and and,

266
00:09:55,475 --> 00:09:57,235
he don't trust them. That's right. And he

267
00:09:57,235 --> 00:09:57,554
says,

268
00:09:58,195 --> 00:10:00,195
tell me what the dream was and the

269
00:10:00,195 --> 00:10:02,434
interpretation. That's right. And they struggled and couldn't

270
00:10:02,434 --> 00:10:04,589
do it. So they started killing them. Yeah.

271
00:10:04,809 --> 00:10:07,610
Absolutely. And Daniel speaks up. Daniel prays and

272
00:10:07,610 --> 00:10:09,710
speaks up and says, I have the interpretation.

273
00:10:09,929 --> 00:10:11,929
They stop it. May not be the one

274
00:10:11,929 --> 00:10:13,450
you like, but here it is. Yeah. He

275
00:10:13,450 --> 00:10:14,889
said, God has given this to me. So

276
00:10:14,889 --> 00:10:16,970
they take him before king Nebuchadnezzar and he

277
00:10:16,970 --> 00:10:19,335
tells him the dream and just impresses the

278
00:10:19,335 --> 00:10:21,975
breeches off of Nebuchadnezzar. Right? It's like, wow.

279
00:10:21,975 --> 00:10:24,054
That's exactly what I dreamed. Absolutely. And if

280
00:10:24,054 --> 00:10:24,554
I

281
00:10:24,934 --> 00:10:28,154
remember correctly, now, Nebuchadnezzar at this time,

282
00:10:28,855 --> 00:10:29,595
he was

283
00:10:30,535 --> 00:10:31,035
basically

284
00:10:31,709 --> 00:10:33,709
constantly going in and out of just almost

285
00:10:33,709 --> 00:10:35,870
being crazy. Every time he turned around with

286
00:10:35,870 --> 00:10:37,889
Nebuchadnezzar, there's no time. He's like, he's

287
00:10:39,470 --> 00:10:41,629
kind of losing it. He's so he's that

288
00:10:41,629 --> 00:10:43,250
paranoia and stuff was

289
00:10:43,725 --> 00:10:45,565
a very, very real thing that was just

290
00:10:45,565 --> 00:10:47,904
constantly with him. God. Everybody knew

291
00:10:48,365 --> 00:10:50,204
that if you if you did something that

292
00:10:50,204 --> 00:10:52,865
Nebuchadnezzar was offended by or anything like that,

293
00:10:53,325 --> 00:10:55,245
you you weren't gonna last very long. Throw

294
00:10:55,245 --> 00:10:56,605
you an oven. Right? Yeah. I mean, he

295
00:10:56,605 --> 00:10:58,365
just he didn't think twice about it. He

296
00:10:58,365 --> 00:11:00,629
was just like, oh. And so everybody everything

297
00:11:00,629 --> 00:11:02,470
was a conspiracy to him almost. And then,

298
00:11:02,470 --> 00:11:03,929
of course, you know, like I say, God

299
00:11:03,990 --> 00:11:05,590
God does do that to him later. Yeah.

300
00:11:05,590 --> 00:11:06,870
Was he the one that God made run

301
00:11:06,870 --> 00:11:08,710
out? Yeah. He lived over this beast. Oh,

302
00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:10,710
yeah. Okay. Yeah. He lived like an animal

303
00:11:10,710 --> 00:11:12,524
for a while. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean,

304
00:11:12,605 --> 00:11:14,205
he he had really he was about to

305
00:11:14,205 --> 00:11:16,045
go through some stuff and had already been

306
00:11:16,045 --> 00:11:18,045
through things. I mean, even up until this,

307
00:11:18,045 --> 00:11:19,404
you know, up until this point. So it's

308
00:11:19,404 --> 00:11:21,725
kind of interesting that Daniel was willing to

309
00:11:21,725 --> 00:11:22,705
step up and go,

310
00:11:23,644 --> 00:11:25,884
yeah. God gave me the the dream and

311
00:11:25,884 --> 00:11:27,679
it's like, oh, you wanna go tell him

312
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:28,179
that?

313
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,399
Yeah. Good luck to you, bud. Yeah, that's

314
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:32,500
right. But he does it. Daniel's bold, man.

315
00:11:32,639 --> 00:11:33,220
He's a

316
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,120
young guy at this point too. And that's

317
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,120
something about Daniel too is the book of

318
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,644
Daniel, the chapters aren't necessarily in chronological order.

319
00:11:39,725 --> 00:11:41,485
Right. They bounce around a little bit. Yeah.

320
00:11:41,485 --> 00:11:43,565
Yeah. Because he'll flip between the Babylon and

321
00:11:43,565 --> 00:11:45,644
the Medes and Persians and stuff. But in

322
00:11:45,644 --> 00:11:48,365
chapter two, it's it's Nebuchadnezzar who's the king

323
00:11:48,365 --> 00:11:50,445
and this is during the Babylonian captivity. All

324
00:11:50,445 --> 00:11:52,365
the Israelites have been taken to Babylon or

325
00:11:52,365 --> 00:11:53,665
destroyed, you know, and

326
00:11:54,259 --> 00:11:56,500
they've ransacked the whole town and destroyed the

327
00:11:56,500 --> 00:11:57,000
temple.

328
00:11:57,539 --> 00:11:59,620
They've done all this stuff. But he has

329
00:11:59,620 --> 00:12:01,940
this dream and this dream was of a

330
00:12:01,940 --> 00:12:02,440
statue.

331
00:12:02,980 --> 00:12:04,820
And I won't go read all this stuff,

332
00:12:04,820 --> 00:12:06,659
I just want to hit it quickly. But

333
00:12:06,659 --> 00:12:07,399
this statue

334
00:12:07,779 --> 00:12:08,440
is interpreted

335
00:12:09,325 --> 00:12:10,384
in chapter two

336
00:12:11,485 --> 00:12:13,424
beginning at verse 36. And he says,

337
00:12:13,804 --> 00:12:15,404
this was the dream, now we will tell

338
00:12:15,404 --> 00:12:17,184
its interpretation before the king.

339
00:12:18,205 --> 00:12:19,664
I'll skip some of that

340
00:12:20,445 --> 00:12:23,404
crazy stuff says in 37, 38. And let's

341
00:12:23,404 --> 00:12:23,820
see,

342
00:12:24,700 --> 00:12:26,940
He's given them just like like, really building

343
00:12:26,940 --> 00:12:28,940
him up. Anyway, I'll just tell it. The

344
00:12:28,940 --> 00:12:31,419
the he's got this big statue that he

345
00:12:31,419 --> 00:12:33,100
sees and the head is made of gold.

346
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:35,019
Right. The head's made of gold and then

347
00:12:35,019 --> 00:12:36,720
it goes further down the statue

348
00:12:37,184 --> 00:12:39,424
and and the the breast and arms are

349
00:12:39,424 --> 00:12:40,325
made of silver.

350
00:12:41,105 --> 00:12:43,904
And and, it goes further down and and

351
00:12:43,904 --> 00:12:44,804
the the

352
00:12:45,345 --> 00:12:47,605
the belly and thighs are made of bronze.

353
00:12:48,225 --> 00:12:49,985
And further down, the legs are made of

354
00:12:49,985 --> 00:12:50,485
iron.

355
00:12:50,929 --> 00:12:53,490
And even further down, there's,

356
00:12:54,049 --> 00:12:56,769
in that same iron is an iron mixed

357
00:12:56,769 --> 00:12:58,230
with clay on the toes,

358
00:12:58,929 --> 00:13:01,190
right? So, and all this stuff is

359
00:13:01,730 --> 00:13:04,549
symbolically really important for understanding revelation

360
00:13:04,985 --> 00:13:06,985
because there's four world kingdoms is what it's

361
00:13:06,985 --> 00:13:09,065
gonna say. But there's a fifth kingdom that

362
00:13:09,065 --> 00:13:11,705
Daniel talks about too, a stone cut without

363
00:13:11,705 --> 00:13:14,264
hands that falls and crushes the whole thing.

364
00:13:14,264 --> 00:13:15,004
That's right.

365
00:13:15,384 --> 00:13:18,125
Destroys it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So

366
00:13:18,504 --> 00:13:20,125
Daniel lays this thing out

367
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,600
and says that the first kingdom is this

368
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,840
head of gold. And actually, let me back

369
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,679
up a little. There were more than four

370
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:28,580
world kingdoms.

371
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,200
We need to understand that Egypt was one

372
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,539
of them. These are four kingdoms that were

373
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,660
important to God's plan. Right. In other words,

374
00:13:36,985 --> 00:13:39,004
So this head of gold was Babylon

375
00:13:40,024 --> 00:13:40,845
and that's

376
00:13:41,465 --> 00:13:43,465
in, I guess around verse 36 where he

377
00:13:43,465 --> 00:13:45,945
says, that, you know, it's telling that's you,

378
00:13:45,945 --> 00:13:46,445
Nebuchadnezzar.

379
00:13:46,985 --> 00:13:47,804
That's Babylon.

380
00:13:48,105 --> 00:13:50,580
The next one was a silver and that's,

381
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,720
the Medes and Persians and it's represented by

382
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,120
two arms, right? But notice how the value

383
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,639
of these things kind of decrease as you

384
00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:59,460
go down, gold and then silver. Then bronze

385
00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:01,059
lower is Greece,

386
00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:03,884
the kingdom of Greece. And then below that,

387
00:14:03,884 --> 00:14:05,745
the legs of iron are Rome.

388
00:14:06,284 --> 00:14:08,764
And then even below further below that, we

389
00:14:08,764 --> 00:14:11,004
see those toes mixed with clay and iron,

390
00:14:11,004 --> 00:14:12,705
which don't bond well together

391
00:14:13,245 --> 00:14:15,105
is a future Rome.

392
00:14:15,429 --> 00:14:17,190
It's a revived Rome. And that's where we

393
00:14:17,190 --> 00:14:19,450
get this idea of a revived Roman empire

394
00:14:19,830 --> 00:14:21,830
and 10 kingdoms. And we'll see we'll see

395
00:14:21,830 --> 00:14:23,910
10 kingdoms coming in different forms through this

396
00:14:23,910 --> 00:14:26,269
thing too. Yeah. I mean But it's a

397
00:14:26,269 --> 00:14:28,445
it's a really neat thing. And and, of

398
00:14:28,445 --> 00:14:30,205
course, that fifth kingdom is the kingdom of

399
00:14:30,205 --> 00:14:32,205
God that comes down. That's right. And and

400
00:14:32,205 --> 00:14:34,144
it makes me think, I don't

401
00:14:35,245 --> 00:14:37,264
I'm I'm maybe speculating a little bit here,

402
00:14:38,205 --> 00:14:40,285
but that all of these kingdoms in the

403
00:14:40,285 --> 00:14:42,509
statue are gonna be at full and and

404
00:14:42,669 --> 00:14:44,350
present in some form or another in the

405
00:14:44,350 --> 00:14:46,629
end times when when God's kingdom comes down

406
00:14:46,629 --> 00:14:48,669
to pulverize them. And and yeah, and destroys

407
00:14:48,669 --> 00:14:50,110
them all. Yeah. Yeah. Because when you think

408
00:14:50,110 --> 00:14:52,350
there's a spirit of Babylon that's kinda in

409
00:14:52,350 --> 00:14:54,290
the world today, maybe the Medes and Persians,

410
00:14:54,509 --> 00:14:55,649
Rome is still

411
00:14:56,144 --> 00:14:58,004
kind of has its influence. I mean,

412
00:14:59,105 --> 00:15:01,024
you look at the United States government and

413
00:15:01,024 --> 00:15:02,705
I'm not saying we're revived Roman Empire or

414
00:15:02,705 --> 00:15:03,605
anything, but

415
00:15:04,384 --> 00:15:06,384
Rome was set up with a Caesar, which

416
00:15:06,384 --> 00:15:08,305
is kind of like our president originally. He

417
00:15:08,305 --> 00:15:11,445
ended up taking control like a king eventually.

418
00:15:11,820 --> 00:15:13,340
But it was set up with a Caesar

419
00:15:13,340 --> 00:15:14,639
and then a senate.

420
00:15:15,580 --> 00:15:17,820
And and, but what The United States added

421
00:15:17,820 --> 00:15:20,000
was a house of representatives that puts democracy

422
00:15:20,139 --> 00:15:22,540
into the republic. Sure. But their national symbol

423
00:15:22,540 --> 00:15:24,399
was an eagle. Yeah. Yeah.

424
00:15:25,315 --> 00:15:27,075
Yeah. You know? Right. Yeah. What does that

425
00:15:27,075 --> 00:15:28,375
say for us? Yeah. Yeah.

426
00:15:29,235 --> 00:15:31,174
I I I'll throw out real quick,

427
00:15:32,195 --> 00:15:34,115
starting with verse 40 there. That's where it's

428
00:15:34,115 --> 00:15:36,115
simply talks about this last kingdom, that fourth

429
00:15:36,115 --> 00:15:37,875
kingdom. Yeah. Because there'll be a fourth kingdom,

430
00:15:37,875 --> 00:15:39,539
one strong like iron, just as iron breaks

431
00:15:39,620 --> 00:15:42,100
in pieces and shatters everything and as iron

432
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:44,019
breaks in pieces all of these metals, so

433
00:15:44,019 --> 00:15:45,699
it will break in pieces and crush the

434
00:15:45,699 --> 00:15:46,199
others.

435
00:15:46,659 --> 00:15:48,659
In that, you are seeing the feet and

436
00:15:48,659 --> 00:15:50,820
toes partly of wet clay and partly of

437
00:15:50,820 --> 00:15:52,625
iron so that this will be a divided

438
00:15:52,684 --> 00:15:53,184
kingdom,

439
00:15:53,565 --> 00:15:55,245
some of the strength of iron will be

440
00:15:55,245 --> 00:15:57,404
in it for you saw iron mixed with

441
00:15:57,404 --> 00:15:59,325
wet clay, in that the toes of the

442
00:15:59,325 --> 00:16:01,644
feet were partly of iron and partly of

443
00:16:01,644 --> 00:16:04,045
clay, the latter stages of the kingdom will

444
00:16:04,045 --> 00:16:06,465
be partly strong and partly fragile.

445
00:16:07,610 --> 00:16:10,330
And in that you saw the iron mixed

446
00:16:10,330 --> 00:16:12,090
with wet clay so people will be mixed

447
00:16:12,090 --> 00:16:13,470
with one another without

448
00:16:13,850 --> 00:16:16,809
adhering to one another just as iron does

449
00:16:16,809 --> 00:16:17,950
not mix with clay.

450
00:16:18,490 --> 00:16:19,389
And you know,

451
00:16:20,345 --> 00:16:20,845
it's

452
00:16:21,225 --> 00:16:23,325
incredible when you think about the way

453
00:16:23,945 --> 00:16:26,125
the earthly kingdoms are set up today.

454
00:16:26,825 --> 00:16:29,465
We're seeing that. Oh, yeah. Right now, people

455
00:16:29,465 --> 00:16:32,045
from all different areas coming together and mixing,

456
00:16:32,184 --> 00:16:34,660
but they're not actually mixing. Yeah. You you

457
00:16:34,660 --> 00:16:36,820
have them all living in the same area

458
00:16:36,820 --> 00:16:38,660
as though what used to be you would

459
00:16:38,660 --> 00:16:40,519
have people move from one area

460
00:16:40,899 --> 00:16:42,580
and come in and they would kinda merge

461
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:44,660
together and you would have something new come

462
00:16:44,660 --> 00:16:46,899
out of that. We're not seeing that today.

463
00:16:46,899 --> 00:16:48,919
We're seeing these people coming from wherever

464
00:16:49,264 --> 00:16:51,024
they go in and then they just keep

465
00:16:51,024 --> 00:16:52,705
doing their thing and pretend like any of

466
00:16:52,705 --> 00:16:54,144
the stuff that was there before they got

467
00:16:54,144 --> 00:16:57,184
there wasn't there. Yeah. Yeah. And and we're

468
00:16:57,184 --> 00:16:59,825
seeing this exact description day. I sorry. I

469
00:16:59,825 --> 00:17:01,904
had to point that out. I mean, that's

470
00:17:01,904 --> 00:17:03,664
literally what we see in the world today

471
00:17:03,904 --> 00:17:06,169
Yeah. Just in general. And when you think

472
00:17:07,349 --> 00:17:09,029
about the kingdom that he's talking about that's

473
00:17:09,029 --> 00:17:10,549
gonna be like that, you know, at that

474
00:17:10,549 --> 00:17:12,549
point, you know, you're talking about essentially the

475
00:17:12,549 --> 00:17:14,869
world, but it's being under a single kingdom

476
00:17:14,869 --> 00:17:16,869
that is completely divided. That's right. Yeah. And

477
00:17:16,869 --> 00:17:18,734
and the key part of this is 10

478
00:17:18,734 --> 00:17:20,654
toast. Hang on to that number 10. Mhmm.

479
00:17:20,654 --> 00:17:22,654
Because that that number 10 shows up in

480
00:17:22,654 --> 00:17:24,755
in other parts of Daniel and in Revelation

481
00:17:25,535 --> 00:17:27,875
with 10 horns and ten ten

482
00:17:28,335 --> 00:17:30,674
ten shows up a lot. Yes. Yes.

483
00:17:31,299 --> 00:17:34,099
Absolutely. So really that that's that that's, kinda

484
00:17:34,099 --> 00:17:36,500
gives an overview of of, the the this

485
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:37,859
is a big picture, and he starts out

486
00:17:37,859 --> 00:17:39,480
with this big picture of the statue.

487
00:17:39,779 --> 00:17:41,240
Right? And then we skip over

488
00:17:41,539 --> 00:17:42,599
to, to

489
00:17:43,054 --> 00:17:44,335
brother, do you have anything you wanna add

490
00:17:44,335 --> 00:17:45,934
on that? No, no. Go ahead. Go ahead.

491
00:17:45,934 --> 00:17:47,794
You're good. Chapter seven,

492
00:17:48,654 --> 00:17:50,654
chapter seven is right after the lion's den

493
00:17:50,654 --> 00:17:51,934
story, which is really cool. I'd like to

494
00:17:51,934 --> 00:17:53,634
go into that, but we won't. But

495
00:17:54,095 --> 00:17:55,794
it's kind of hard to resist sometimes.

496
00:17:56,174 --> 00:17:56,674
But

497
00:17:57,694 --> 00:17:58,194
so

498
00:17:59,349 --> 00:18:02,470
here, Daniel sees It skips forward to where

499
00:18:02,470 --> 00:18:04,710
Belshazzar is king and every chapter kind of

500
00:18:04,710 --> 00:18:06,789
starts out with that, who was king when

501
00:18:06,789 --> 00:18:09,190
he wrote it. And it's really neat for

502
00:18:09,190 --> 00:18:11,750
the chronology of it. But he says, he

503
00:18:11,750 --> 00:18:14,105
was looking, he saw four great beasts, four

504
00:18:14,105 --> 00:18:15,945
great beasts rising up out of the sea.

505
00:18:15,945 --> 00:18:17,785
Now the sea is always kind of a

506
00:18:17,785 --> 00:18:19,625
constant thing in these in these things too.

507
00:18:19,625 --> 00:18:21,305
You'll see that in Revelation when you see

508
00:18:21,305 --> 00:18:23,705
it here. Yeah. Yeah. Which usually has to

509
00:18:23,705 --> 00:18:26,585
do with people. Yeah. Yeah. Like masses. Masses

510
00:18:26,585 --> 00:18:28,919
of people. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so the

511
00:18:28,919 --> 00:18:30,380
first one, let's

512
00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:32,679
see, in verse four was like a lion

513
00:18:32,679 --> 00:18:34,460
and had the wings of an eagle. And

514
00:18:37,079 --> 00:18:38,599
check this out. See, we were just talking

515
00:18:38,599 --> 00:18:40,759
about this. I kept looking up until its

516
00:18:40,759 --> 00:18:41,954
wings were plucked and it

517
00:18:42,994 --> 00:18:44,934
was lifted up from the ground and made

518
00:18:44,934 --> 00:18:45,507
to stand on two feet like a man.

519
00:18:45,507 --> 00:18:47,075
A human mind was also given to it.

520
00:18:47,075 --> 00:18:50,034
So this dude, he's prophesying that Nebuchadnezzar is

521
00:18:50,034 --> 00:18:51,875
about to go well, actually, this is after

522
00:18:51,875 --> 00:18:54,329
Nebuchadnezzar. So never mind. Yeah. That's not right.

523
00:18:54,409 --> 00:18:55,069
So but

524
00:18:55,369 --> 00:18:57,210
this is Babylon that he's talking about. Yeah.

525
00:18:57,210 --> 00:18:58,890
Lying like the wings of an eagle. And

526
00:18:58,890 --> 00:19:01,130
then another beast in verse five, a second

527
00:19:01,130 --> 00:19:02,589
one resembling a bear.

528
00:19:02,970 --> 00:19:04,750
It was raised up on one side

529
00:19:05,130 --> 00:19:07,369
and three ribs were in its mouth between

530
00:19:07,369 --> 00:19:08,970
its teeth and thus they said to it,

531
00:19:08,970 --> 00:19:11,714
arise, devour much meat. So this bear represents

532
00:19:11,714 --> 00:19:13,714
the Medes and Persians. And it's raised up

533
00:19:13,714 --> 00:19:15,315
on one side because I believe it was

534
00:19:15,315 --> 00:19:17,254
the Medes that were stronger than the Persians.

535
00:19:17,394 --> 00:19:19,554
But it was two nations that had kinda

536
00:19:19,554 --> 00:19:21,095
joined forces and they conquered,

537
00:19:21,875 --> 00:19:22,375
Babylon.

538
00:19:23,250 --> 00:19:25,650
Remember the story in Daniel of the handwriting

539
00:19:25,650 --> 00:19:27,490
on the walls. Oh, yeah. Mhmm. That very

540
00:19:27,490 --> 00:19:29,890
night, the Medes and Persians destroyed Babylon and

541
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:30,950
took over Babylon.

542
00:19:31,410 --> 00:19:34,450
So that prophecy happened pretty quickly. Right. Right?

543
00:19:34,450 --> 00:19:36,445
And he's telling about these coming kingdoms. And

544
00:19:36,445 --> 00:19:38,305
then another one like a leopard,

545
00:19:38,765 --> 00:19:40,605
which had on its back four wings of

546
00:19:40,605 --> 00:19:42,684
a bird, the beast also had foreheads and

547
00:19:42,684 --> 00:19:44,845
dominion was given to it. We know from

548
00:19:44,845 --> 00:19:47,884
history that whoever conquered Medes and Persians, that

549
00:19:47,884 --> 00:19:50,650
was the Greeks. Yes. Alexander the Great conquered

550
00:19:50,650 --> 00:19:52,650
them and he conquered the known world at

551
00:19:52,650 --> 00:19:54,750
a record speed. Yeah. The guy was

552
00:19:55,130 --> 00:19:58,009
30, 32 when he died and had conquered

553
00:19:58,009 --> 00:20:00,330
the known world. And when he died, his

554
00:20:00,330 --> 00:20:00,825
four generals

555
00:20:01,304 --> 00:20:03,224
So there's the four that comes in there

556
00:20:03,224 --> 00:20:04,984
with the four heads. And then the next

557
00:20:04,984 --> 00:20:07,304
one is is, is awful, and it doesn't

558
00:20:07,304 --> 00:20:09,565
have a comparison to an animal at all.

559
00:20:09,625 --> 00:20:11,625
And it says in verse seven, after this,

560
00:20:11,625 --> 00:20:13,384
I kept looking in the night visions and

561
00:20:13,384 --> 00:20:16,460
behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrifying and

562
00:20:16,460 --> 00:20:19,039
extremely strong and it had large iron teeth.

563
00:20:19,259 --> 00:20:21,339
It devoured and crushed and trampled down the

564
00:20:21,339 --> 00:20:23,099
remainder with its feet and it was different

565
00:20:23,099 --> 00:20:24,779
from all the beasts that were before it

566
00:20:24,779 --> 00:20:26,319
and it had 10 horns.

567
00:20:26,619 --> 00:20:27,679
There's 10 again.

568
00:20:28,184 --> 00:20:30,585
Yeah. Right? 10 toes, 10 horns. And this

569
00:20:30,585 --> 00:20:32,365
is Rome. We know that Rome conquered

570
00:20:32,825 --> 00:20:33,964
Greece. Yes.

571
00:20:34,744 --> 00:20:36,424
So we know this stuff from history and

572
00:20:36,424 --> 00:20:38,345
it's all been fulfilled. And this stuff was

573
00:20:38,345 --> 00:20:39,005
all written

574
00:20:39,544 --> 00:20:41,544
way before any of these events happened. It's

575
00:20:41,544 --> 00:20:42,444
somewhere between,

576
00:20:42,779 --> 00:20:43,599
I think it's

577
00:20:44,619 --> 00:20:47,440
around 500 BC was when it was written,

578
00:20:48,140 --> 00:20:49,820
way, way back. And this is some of

579
00:20:49,820 --> 00:20:51,660
the stuff that causes a lot of liberal

580
00:20:51,660 --> 00:20:54,240
scholars to say, Wow, this stuff was written

581
00:20:54,940 --> 00:20:56,805
a couple of hundred years before Christ. It

582
00:20:56,805 --> 00:20:58,724
was written way after all these events. But

583
00:20:58,724 --> 00:21:00,244
it's not true. No. It's not true at

584
00:21:00,244 --> 00:21:02,164
all. We have the evidence. The history shows

585
00:21:02,164 --> 00:21:03,785
that. Absolutely. Absolutely.

586
00:21:04,164 --> 00:21:06,404
You know, in Daniel, when it's going to

587
00:21:06,404 --> 00:21:08,345
the to the end of chapter seven,

588
00:21:08,884 --> 00:21:10,825
what he's saying troubled him.

589
00:21:11,429 --> 00:21:13,589
I mean, he was he was, like, sick.

590
00:21:13,589 --> 00:21:14,409
He's like,

591
00:21:15,349 --> 00:21:17,509
this this is his whole countenance. He said,

592
00:21:17,509 --> 00:21:19,750
my whole countenance changed Yeah. When I seen

593
00:21:19,750 --> 00:21:21,529
these things, and he began to understand

594
00:21:21,909 --> 00:21:23,589
what the meaning of it was and what

595
00:21:23,589 --> 00:21:25,134
was what was about to happen. He does

596
00:21:25,134 --> 00:21:26,734
it again later, I think. And that that

597
00:21:26,734 --> 00:21:28,855
makes you wonder about these modern day Yes.

598
00:21:29,055 --> 00:21:31,934
Prophets. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They How bad does

599
00:21:31,934 --> 00:21:34,015
it shake them? Yeah. It doesn't seem to

600
00:21:34,015 --> 00:21:35,134
shake them. It seems to,

601
00:21:35,869 --> 00:21:38,190
it seems to bring them fame. That's what

602
00:21:38,190 --> 00:21:40,350
they're that's what they're looking for. You know?

603
00:21:40,350 --> 00:21:42,690
Daniel wasn't looking for fame. Daniel was,

604
00:21:43,390 --> 00:21:45,549
Daniel was interpreting the dreams of a king

605
00:21:45,549 --> 00:21:46,049
to,

606
00:21:46,910 --> 00:21:47,730
to live.

607
00:21:48,509 --> 00:21:49,869
You know? I mean Yeah. That's what he

608
00:21:49,869 --> 00:21:51,674
started this whole thing out with and and

609
00:21:51,674 --> 00:21:54,394
what he and god and god allowed him

610
00:21:54,394 --> 00:21:56,955
to interpret these things, not only to interpret

611
00:21:56,955 --> 00:21:59,115
the king's dreams, but to give us a

612
00:21:59,115 --> 00:22:00,955
a vision of what was gonna happen in

613
00:22:00,955 --> 00:22:02,795
the future. Right. Right. And and what's interesting

614
00:22:02,795 --> 00:22:04,154
too is that we'll we'll see at the

615
00:22:04,154 --> 00:22:05,355
end of this thing that they told him

616
00:22:05,355 --> 00:22:06,875
to seal this up until the end times.

617
00:22:06,875 --> 00:22:09,220
Yeah. And and I've I've just I don't

618
00:22:09,220 --> 00:22:11,059
know. I I haven't studied a whole lot

619
00:22:11,059 --> 00:22:13,660
about people writing about Daniel a 100 over

620
00:22:13,660 --> 00:22:15,779
a hundred years ago. Yeah. People just didn't

621
00:22:15,940 --> 00:22:17,380
Yeah. Talk about it much other than the

622
00:22:17,380 --> 00:22:19,460
lion's den and that stuff. Right? Right. Right.

623
00:22:19,460 --> 00:22:21,059
But the prophecies out of Daniel seemed to

624
00:22:21,059 --> 00:22:23,164
have just really come alive lately. They they

625
00:22:23,164 --> 00:22:24,924
they have. And and, you know, you got

626
00:22:24,924 --> 00:22:26,365
a lot of people out there that,

627
00:22:26,845 --> 00:22:28,144
that are against the whole,

628
00:22:28,765 --> 00:22:29,265
the,

629
00:22:30,365 --> 00:22:32,605
the rapture of the church and Yeah. They're

630
00:22:32,605 --> 00:22:34,125
saying that that just came about in the

631
00:22:34,125 --> 00:22:35,664
last few hundred years or whatever.

632
00:22:36,210 --> 00:22:37,410
That's not true either.

633
00:22:37,730 --> 00:22:39,730
It it it just it just began to

634
00:22:39,730 --> 00:22:42,289
be more more studied and more brought out

635
00:22:42,450 --> 00:22:43,990
Yeah. More more

636
00:22:44,289 --> 00:22:46,769
looked looked into in-depth, you know, because I

637
00:22:46,769 --> 00:22:48,255
know a lot of these churches. There's a

638
00:22:48,255 --> 00:22:50,015
lot of churches not to to,

639
00:22:50,414 --> 00:22:52,255
to tear any church down around here, but

640
00:22:52,255 --> 00:22:54,015
but there's a lot of churches that that

641
00:22:54,015 --> 00:22:55,855
will not go into the book of Revelation

642
00:22:55,855 --> 00:22:58,355
or will not study prophecy like Daniel and,

643
00:22:59,134 --> 00:23:01,474
and Ezekiel and different things like that because,

644
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:05,140
because it it they they look at it

645
00:23:05,140 --> 00:23:06,759
as so hard to understand. Yeah.

646
00:23:07,140 --> 00:23:09,380
Yeah. But, but but people have dug deep

647
00:23:09,380 --> 00:23:11,059
into it and looked into it, and and

648
00:23:11,059 --> 00:23:13,299
it's and it's it's put together the puzzle

649
00:23:13,299 --> 00:23:14,954
pieces, and that makes sense. That's something that

650
00:23:14,954 --> 00:23:16,315
something confuses me. You know, a lot of

651
00:23:16,315 --> 00:23:18,974
people take Revelation as just a giant allegory.

652
00:23:19,194 --> 00:23:21,035
Neither. No. It's just some story that you're

653
00:23:21,035 --> 00:23:22,794
supposed to try to make sense of. Yeah.

654
00:23:22,794 --> 00:23:25,515
But Daniel kinda squashes that idea, doesn't it?

655
00:23:25,515 --> 00:23:28,070
All that stuff's happened literally. Literally. Yeah. And

656
00:23:28,070 --> 00:23:29,590
nothing in here I mean, there are there's

657
00:23:29,590 --> 00:23:31,769
figurative language. I mean, we've we've hit it

658
00:23:31,910 --> 00:23:33,990
already because it represents stuff. That's right. But

659
00:23:33,990 --> 00:23:36,309
it's common. It's common between Daniel and a

660
00:23:36,309 --> 00:23:38,710
relation. That's right. And it it he lays

661
00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:40,890
out timelines. And we'll see in chapter nine

662
00:23:41,284 --> 00:23:43,284
that he lays it out to the dadgum

663
00:23:43,284 --> 00:23:45,765
year. Yeah. I mean, it lays it down.

664
00:23:45,765 --> 00:23:47,605
If we didn't have such messed up calendars

665
00:23:47,605 --> 00:23:50,005
between us and the old Israeli system Yeah.

666
00:23:50,085 --> 00:23:51,444
We we would have known. We'd have known.

667
00:23:51,444 --> 00:23:53,765
Absolutely. Absolutely. But but he goes on in

668
00:23:53,765 --> 00:23:55,044
verse eight and he says, while I was

669
00:23:55,044 --> 00:23:57,830
contemplating the horns, behold, another horn, a little

670
00:23:57,830 --> 00:23:58,330
one

671
00:23:58,789 --> 00:24:00,630
came up among them and three of the

672
00:24:00,630 --> 00:24:02,390
first horns were pulled out by the roots

673
00:24:02,390 --> 00:24:04,390
before it and behold, this horn possessed eyes

674
00:24:04,390 --> 00:24:05,590
like the eyes of a man and a

675
00:24:05,590 --> 00:24:07,130
mouth uttering great boasts.

676
00:24:07,430 --> 00:24:09,210
So this is a picture of the antichrist.

677
00:24:09,350 --> 00:24:11,384
That's right. This is this is where we

678
00:24:11,384 --> 00:24:13,164
see the first reference to the antichrist

679
00:24:13,865 --> 00:24:16,264
or the beast of Revelation. Yes. Right. And

680
00:24:16,264 --> 00:24:18,184
then and then, here comes the ancient of

681
00:24:18,184 --> 00:24:20,105
days. The ancient of days is coming. Right.

682
00:24:20,105 --> 00:24:22,264
It's gonna squash you. And then, who's the

683
00:24:22,264 --> 00:24:23,784
first guy thrown into the lake of fire

684
00:24:23,784 --> 00:24:24,444
in Revelation?

685
00:24:25,369 --> 00:24:27,529
This guy. This guy. Right? Yeah. That's a

686
00:24:27,529 --> 00:24:31,369
leader. He is. Yeah. Yeah. And, and later

687
00:24:31,369 --> 00:24:32,430
to join him,

688
00:24:32,809 --> 00:24:33,769
we know that the,

689
00:24:34,809 --> 00:24:35,549
the antichrist,

690
00:24:36,410 --> 00:24:37,930
and then, of course, there's gonna be a

691
00:24:37,930 --> 00:24:40,295
spiritual leader that will rise up. He'll be

692
00:24:40,295 --> 00:24:42,295
thrown into there and then Satan himself will

693
00:24:42,295 --> 00:24:43,575
be thrown in there and then Yeah. Then

694
00:24:43,575 --> 00:24:46,295
everybody else will follow. Yeah. Yeah. That has

695
00:24:46,295 --> 00:24:49,015
not accepted Christ as savior. Yeah. So

696
00:24:49,815 --> 00:24:52,720
So he goes on and, the the angel

697
00:24:53,339 --> 00:24:54,960
interprets the dream for him

698
00:24:55,740 --> 00:24:58,480
in chapter seven, talking about the 10 horns.

699
00:24:59,740 --> 00:25:00,559
Let's see.

700
00:25:02,539 --> 00:25:03,599
You're on nine.

701
00:25:04,565 --> 00:25:08,144
Chapter chapter seven verse 20. Oh, seven the

702
00:25:08,144 --> 00:25:09,605
meaning of the 10 horns that were on

703
00:25:09,605 --> 00:25:11,365
its head. Oh, before well, before you go

704
00:25:11,365 --> 00:25:12,805
over that, hey, we need to read that

705
00:25:12,805 --> 00:25:14,724
description of the ancient of days real quick.

706
00:25:14,724 --> 00:25:16,565
Okay. Just because we've been through that in

707
00:25:16,565 --> 00:25:19,289
Revelation. And while I was watching in, Daniel

708
00:25:19,289 --> 00:25:20,750
seven nine, while I was watching,

709
00:25:21,130 --> 00:25:22,730
thrones were set up and the ancient of

710
00:25:22,730 --> 00:25:25,049
days took his seat. His attire was white

711
00:25:25,049 --> 00:25:26,829
like snow. His hair

712
00:25:27,210 --> 00:25:29,450
the hair of his head was like lamb's

713
00:25:29,450 --> 00:25:32,684
wool. His throne was ablaze with fire, and

714
00:25:32,684 --> 00:25:34,384
its wheels were all aflame.

715
00:25:35,005 --> 00:25:37,085
And he goes on to say a river

716
00:25:37,085 --> 00:25:39,565
of fire was streaming forth and proceeding from

717
00:25:39,565 --> 00:25:40,305
his presence.

718
00:25:40,765 --> 00:25:43,085
Many thousands were ministering to him, many tens

719
00:25:43,085 --> 00:25:45,404
of thousands stood ready to serve him. The

720
00:25:45,404 --> 00:25:46,384
court convened,

721
00:25:46,730 --> 00:25:48,830
and the books were opened.

722
00:25:49,369 --> 00:25:51,070
It's a picture of the great white throne.

723
00:25:51,609 --> 00:25:53,849
It sure is. And more and more and

724
00:25:53,849 --> 00:25:56,009
what I wanted to point out was, hey,

725
00:25:56,009 --> 00:25:58,089
that description ought to sound kind of familiar

726
00:25:58,089 --> 00:25:58,589
because

727
00:25:58,904 --> 00:26:00,825
we just read in chapter one of Revelation

728
00:26:00,825 --> 00:26:01,805
where John described

729
00:26:02,505 --> 00:26:04,664
somebody that looks an awful lot like that.

730
00:26:04,664 --> 00:26:06,845
Yeah. Jesus shows up a lot in here.

731
00:26:06,984 --> 00:26:07,644
He does.

732
00:26:07,945 --> 00:26:10,265
I believe that the pre incarnate Jesus is

733
00:26:10,265 --> 00:26:12,059
appearing to him in several places, especially in

734
00:26:12,059 --> 00:26:14,299
chapter 12. Yeah. I agree. I asked Jesus.

735
00:26:14,299 --> 00:26:14,960
Yeah. Absolutely.

736
00:26:15,339 --> 00:26:17,980
Absolutely. And, but, yeah, it's, it's,

737
00:26:18,460 --> 00:26:20,380
it's awesome stuff. But he interprets the dream.

738
00:26:20,380 --> 00:26:21,740
He goes on it. But but but just,

739
00:26:21,980 --> 00:26:24,480
just to press forward to chapter nine,

740
00:26:25,099 --> 00:26:26,954
he sees another vision in chapter eight.

741
00:26:27,755 --> 00:26:29,194
And and it's also in the reign of

742
00:26:29,194 --> 00:26:29,694
Belshazzar.

743
00:26:30,634 --> 00:26:32,154
And he sees a goat a goat and

744
00:26:32,154 --> 00:26:35,034
a ram fighting. Mhmm. And just to sum

745
00:26:35,034 --> 00:26:37,054
it up kinda, he sees a ram,

746
00:26:38,075 --> 00:26:40,075
fighting goat. He kinda gives a description of

747
00:26:40,075 --> 00:26:42,234
it over this canal and different things. But

748
00:26:42,234 --> 00:26:44,660
you skip down and the exact interpretation is

749
00:26:44,660 --> 00:26:45,160
given.

750
00:26:45,700 --> 00:26:46,980
The angel tells him in,

751
00:26:47,859 --> 00:26:48,599
let's see,

752
00:26:50,180 --> 00:26:51,080
in verse 20.

753
00:26:51,460 --> 00:26:52,900
The angels talked to him and said, the

754
00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:54,500
ram which you saw with the two horns

755
00:26:54,500 --> 00:26:56,840
represents the kings of Media and Persia.

756
00:26:58,025 --> 00:26:59,724
There's no confusion there, right?

757
00:27:00,345 --> 00:27:01,565
It was Medes and Persians.

758
00:27:02,025 --> 00:27:03,464
And then he goes on to verse 21,

759
00:27:03,464 --> 00:27:05,724
the shaggy goat represents the kingdom of Greece

760
00:27:05,785 --> 00:27:07,384
and the large horn that is between his

761
00:27:07,384 --> 00:27:09,304
eyes is the first king, that's Alexander the

762
00:27:09,304 --> 00:27:09,804
Great.

763
00:27:10,105 --> 00:27:12,480
And this is a hundred years a hundred

764
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,539
years before. Yeah. It's just amazing stuff.

765
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,759
Amazing stuff. And he said and then he

766
00:27:17,759 --> 00:27:19,839
goes on to verse 22, the broken horn

767
00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:21,759
and the four horns that arose in its

768
00:27:21,759 --> 00:27:24,319
place represent four kingdoms which will arise from

769
00:27:24,319 --> 00:27:27,595
his nation, although not with his power. So

770
00:27:27,595 --> 00:27:30,075
Alexander the Great of Greece dies at like

771
00:27:30,075 --> 00:27:32,875
30, 32, some really young age and four

772
00:27:32,875 --> 00:27:34,875
of his generals take his place. And they

773
00:27:34,875 --> 00:27:37,194
have a section of the known world that

774
00:27:37,194 --> 00:27:39,674
he's conquered. One goes north, south, east, and

775
00:27:39,674 --> 00:27:42,039
west. Well, the north and south end up

776
00:27:42,259 --> 00:27:42,759
the

777
00:27:43,059 --> 00:27:44,200
two mightiest ones.

778
00:27:44,500 --> 00:27:46,740
The Seleucids and the I can't remember the

779
00:27:46,740 --> 00:27:48,740
other name. But, some of them are down

780
00:27:48,740 --> 00:27:51,460
toward Egypt and we see others up more

781
00:27:51,460 --> 00:27:52,680
toward Greece

782
00:27:53,059 --> 00:27:53,559
proper.

783
00:27:53,865 --> 00:27:54,365
And

784
00:27:54,744 --> 00:27:56,845
they end up as fighting a lot

785
00:27:57,144 --> 00:27:58,664
back and forth. And we'll see some stuff

786
00:27:58,664 --> 00:28:00,365
here in chapter eight

787
00:28:01,224 --> 00:28:02,125
where we see

788
00:28:03,865 --> 00:28:04,365
in

789
00:28:04,744 --> 00:28:07,224
the verse 23. This is really important because

790
00:28:07,224 --> 00:28:07,884
this is

791
00:28:09,759 --> 00:28:12,000
a top and likeness of the antichrist is

792
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,559
what he's going to describe here. He says,

793
00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:16,740
in in the latter period of their rule,

794
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,880
when the transgressors have run their course, a

795
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,539
king will arise insolent and skilled in intrigue.

796
00:28:22,275 --> 00:28:24,195
His power will be mighty but not by

797
00:28:24,195 --> 00:28:26,195
his own power, and he will destroy to

798
00:28:26,195 --> 00:28:28,755
an extraordinary degree and prosper and perform his

799
00:28:28,755 --> 00:28:30,595
will. He will destroy mighty men and the

800
00:28:30,595 --> 00:28:32,775
holy people. And through his shrewdness,

801
00:28:33,634 --> 00:28:35,875
he will cause deceit to succeed by his

802
00:28:35,875 --> 00:28:38,420
influence. He will magnify himself in his heart

803
00:28:38,420 --> 00:28:40,420
and he will destroy many while they are

804
00:28:40,420 --> 00:28:42,500
at ease. He will even oppose the prince

805
00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:45,140
of princes. He will be broken without human

806
00:28:45,140 --> 00:28:45,640
agency.

807
00:28:46,340 --> 00:28:48,580
The visions Okay. So he goes on. But

808
00:28:48,580 --> 00:28:49,559
what this is

809
00:28:50,464 --> 00:28:52,945
is there is a guy who existed in

810
00:28:52,945 --> 00:28:54,945
the Grecian empire, I think it was the

811
00:28:54,945 --> 00:28:55,445
Seleucids,

812
00:28:55,825 --> 00:28:56,565
who was

813
00:28:57,265 --> 00:28:59,505
the top and likeness of the antichrist in

814
00:28:59,505 --> 00:29:00,005
Revelation.

815
00:29:00,464 --> 00:29:01,684
He's the guy that

816
00:29:02,144 --> 00:29:03,605
Jesus mentions in

817
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:05,980
Matthew chapter 24

818
00:29:06,279 --> 00:29:07,659
when he when Jesus says,

819
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,779
when you see the abomination that makes desolate.

820
00:29:10,919 --> 00:29:13,079
Mhmm. This was the guy who did that.

821
00:29:13,079 --> 00:29:16,039
Yeah. And it's gonna happen again because Jesus

822
00:29:16,039 --> 00:29:18,044
wouldn't have mentioned it a few hundred years

823
00:29:18,044 --> 00:29:20,365
after the fact and they knew exactly from

824
00:29:20,365 --> 00:29:22,365
their history who this guy was. And this

825
00:29:22,365 --> 00:29:24,924
guy existed during the Maccabean period. Yeah. Now

826
00:29:24,924 --> 00:29:27,484
the Catholics have a, the book of first

827
00:29:27,484 --> 00:29:29,804
and second, third Maccabees are, I think, stuck

828
00:29:29,804 --> 00:29:32,009
between Malachi and Matthew, which we don't have.

829
00:29:32,009 --> 00:29:34,250
They're really just history books. Right. Yeah. There's

830
00:29:34,250 --> 00:29:34,570
no

831
00:29:35,210 --> 00:29:37,049
There's no biblical canon to

832
00:29:37,450 --> 00:29:39,289
yeah. Yeah. No. There's no like word of

833
00:29:39,289 --> 00:29:41,210
God to them. They're just history. Yeah. Right.

834
00:29:41,210 --> 00:29:42,970
But this is they describe some of this

835
00:29:42,970 --> 00:29:45,049
guy's actions and some of the despicable things

836
00:29:45,049 --> 00:29:47,715
he did. And and and then, you know,

837
00:29:47,715 --> 00:29:49,894
later, there was a there was another monarch

838
00:29:49,955 --> 00:29:51,795
over the kingdom that was split from the

839
00:29:51,795 --> 00:29:53,815
goats and the horn in Daniel's vision,

840
00:29:54,674 --> 00:29:56,134
who who would understand

841
00:29:56,835 --> 00:29:57,335
riddles,

842
00:29:58,195 --> 00:29:58,695
but

843
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:00,680
commonly believed to be,

844
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,759
Antiochus. Antiochus. Yeah. Antiochus. The of Epiphanies. Yeah.

845
00:30:04,759 --> 00:30:07,080
Yeah. He called himself Epiphanies. Yeah. Yeah. To

846
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,000
say I'm God. To say I'm yeah. He

847
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,080
can see things. Right? Yeah. This yeah. This

848
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,160
was the Antichrist of the Old Testament Yeah.

849
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,224
Kinda guy. Right? That's right. Yeah. And Antiochus

850
00:30:15,224 --> 00:30:17,144
four, I think was his name. But he

851
00:30:17,144 --> 00:30:18,744
got in these battles back and forth. He

852
00:30:18,744 --> 00:30:20,664
went down to Egypt and this is where

853
00:30:20,664 --> 00:30:22,424
he first ran into the Romans as ships

854
00:30:22,424 --> 00:30:24,904
from Kittim disturbed him. And he got his

855
00:30:24,904 --> 00:30:26,125
tail whipped in

856
00:30:26,825 --> 00:30:29,340
Egypt. And on his way back, he decided

857
00:30:29,340 --> 00:30:31,259
to take it out on Israel. Yeah. He

858
00:30:31,259 --> 00:30:32,960
decided to take it out on the Jews.

859
00:30:33,019 --> 00:30:35,100
And Maccabees describes some of the stuff that

860
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:36,559
he did was just horrific

861
00:30:37,580 --> 00:30:39,820
to people there and killing women and children.

862
00:30:39,820 --> 00:30:42,115
Just, I mean, the guy was awful. But

863
00:30:42,115 --> 00:30:43,954
one of the things he did was he

864
00:30:43,954 --> 00:30:45,474
set up a statue of Zeus in the

865
00:30:45,474 --> 00:30:47,154
Holy of Holies and slaughtered a pig on

866
00:30:47,154 --> 00:30:49,894
the altar. Yeah. And desecrated the temple. And

867
00:30:50,835 --> 00:30:53,075
this is gonna happen again according to Jesus

868
00:30:53,075 --> 00:30:56,240
in Matthew 24. Yeah. That that's the abomination

869
00:30:56,380 --> 00:30:59,440
that makes desolate. Yeah. The abomination of desolation.

870
00:31:00,059 --> 00:31:02,080
And then Jesus said, when you see that,

871
00:31:02,140 --> 00:31:03,980
run. Yeah. And I believe that's when the

872
00:31:03,980 --> 00:31:06,619
great tribulation began. Yeah. Yeah. There'll be the

873
00:31:06,619 --> 00:31:08,535
first three years and then the last three

874
00:31:08,535 --> 00:31:10,535
years. Yeah. I agree. I agree with that.

875
00:31:10,535 --> 00:31:13,654
Yeah. So everything's bad the first three three

876
00:31:13,654 --> 00:31:14,855
and a half and and then

877
00:31:16,134 --> 00:31:18,295
Well, you know, to Unreal. Yeah. The first

878
00:31:18,295 --> 00:31:20,134
three and a half years, you've got,

879
00:31:20,990 --> 00:31:22,750
got a lot of terrible things that are

880
00:31:22,750 --> 00:31:25,230
taking place. But what what the but the

881
00:31:25,230 --> 00:31:27,470
antichrist doesn't look to be behind them to

882
00:31:27,470 --> 00:31:29,549
start with. Yeah. He's got everybody fooled, and

883
00:31:29,549 --> 00:31:31,549
he's he's he's got all the answers. You

884
00:31:31,549 --> 00:31:33,704
know? Right. Hey. You know, I can, yeah,

885
00:31:33,704 --> 00:31:35,304
this is happening, but I can fix this.

886
00:31:35,304 --> 00:31:37,144
Yes. There's food shortage, but I can fix

887
00:31:37,144 --> 00:31:39,384
this. Yes. There's, there's there's And he does.

888
00:31:39,544 --> 00:31:41,784
Dying. And he does. He does. So everybody

889
00:31:41,784 --> 00:31:43,944
flocks to him. This is why the this

890
00:31:43,944 --> 00:31:45,724
is why the Middle East, Jerusalem

891
00:31:46,090 --> 00:31:47,690
is gonna be the epicenter of the world.

892
00:31:47,690 --> 00:31:49,610
Right. Everyone's gonna flock to there because if

893
00:31:49,610 --> 00:31:51,450
they wanna eat, if they wanna drink, if

894
00:31:51,450 --> 00:31:53,610
they want food, if they want clothing, you

895
00:31:53,610 --> 00:31:55,369
know, that's when the mark of the beast

896
00:31:55,369 --> 00:31:57,570
is gonna come about and and, you know,

897
00:31:57,850 --> 00:31:59,690
he's he's gonna fix it all. He's gonna

898
00:31:59,690 --> 00:32:01,434
make it sound great. Yeah. And he's a

899
00:32:01,595 --> 00:32:04,154
his, his false prophet. Right? The Yeah. The

900
00:32:04,154 --> 00:32:06,315
the fake religious guy is gonna cause fire

901
00:32:06,315 --> 00:32:07,755
to come down from heaven, all kinds of

902
00:32:07,755 --> 00:32:09,755
miracles and stuff. Yeah. Absolutely. He's got hell.

903
00:32:09,755 --> 00:32:11,434
Yeah. Right? He's trying to he's trying to

904
00:32:11,434 --> 00:32:12,955
duplicate the trinity. That's right. What he's trying

905
00:32:12,955 --> 00:32:14,174
to do. Right? That's right. Yeah.

906
00:32:14,634 --> 00:32:15,134
Yeah.

907
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,400
Yeah. This is ugly stuff, man. But but

908
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:18,839
this guy this guy, we can go back

909
00:32:18,839 --> 00:32:20,599
and look at Maccabees and see some of

910
00:32:20,599 --> 00:32:22,119
the things that he did. And then he

911
00:32:22,119 --> 00:32:24,440
did die kinda like Herod did where, you

912
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,920
know, Herod in Acts was was eaten alive

913
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,839
from inside out or something by the arms

914
00:32:28,839 --> 00:32:30,615
or whatever. Yeah. That's kinda how this guy

915
00:32:30,615 --> 00:32:33,434
died without human agency. Yeah. And it's like,

916
00:32:33,494 --> 00:32:35,815
oh, man. It's just nasty. And we see,

917
00:32:35,815 --> 00:32:37,815
you know, verse 23 that you're on, we

918
00:32:37,815 --> 00:32:40,455
see that kinda all being accomplished in in

919
00:32:40,535 --> 00:32:42,775
when we get to chapter nine verse 24.

920
00:32:42,775 --> 00:32:45,009
Yeah. So it's kinda coming together. Yeah.

921
00:32:45,710 --> 00:32:46,990
Yeah. And we see well, we get up

922
00:32:46,990 --> 00:32:49,169
to chapter nine. I guess we're there. Alright.

923
00:32:49,869 --> 00:32:51,950
Chapter nine has got just a beautiful prayer

924
00:32:51,950 --> 00:32:54,509
in it. We'll skip that. And we go

925
00:32:54,509 --> 00:32:56,269
down to the last four verses of chapter

926
00:32:56,269 --> 00:32:58,234
nine and they are so packed

927
00:32:58,615 --> 00:33:00,615
full of stuff that it it you gotta

928
00:33:00,615 --> 00:33:02,134
get your math hat on a little bit

929
00:33:02,134 --> 00:33:02,634
too.

930
00:33:03,095 --> 00:33:04,315
But, it's a

931
00:33:04,855 --> 00:33:06,535
I know when I was doing when I

932
00:33:06,535 --> 00:33:09,255
was doing the study here on Wednesday night

933
00:33:09,255 --> 00:33:09,575
that,

934
00:33:10,375 --> 00:33:12,535
it was pretty challenging to lay that out.

935
00:33:12,535 --> 00:33:14,500
But but but it it makes sense if

936
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:16,900
you think of it, and, well, let's just

937
00:33:16,900 --> 00:33:19,480
read it. We'll start with with verse 24.

938
00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:21,160
It says,

939
00:33:21,940 --> 00:33:24,660
seventy weeks have been decreed for your people

940
00:33:24,660 --> 00:33:26,820
in your holy city. And and we'll let's

941
00:33:26,820 --> 00:33:28,039
stop right there because

942
00:33:28,414 --> 00:33:30,494
seventy weeks, what what does that really mean?

943
00:33:30,494 --> 00:33:32,674
And and what he's saying is seventy sevens.

944
00:33:32,734 --> 00:33:34,575
Yeah. Because a week is seven days. That's

945
00:33:34,575 --> 00:33:36,654
right. And he's saying seven sets of seven

946
00:33:36,654 --> 00:33:38,815
have been decreed for your for your people.

947
00:33:38,815 --> 00:33:41,154
And what this really is is seven seventy

948
00:33:42,279 --> 00:33:44,220
seventy weeks of years. Mhmm.

949
00:33:44,599 --> 00:33:46,440
So it ends up being 70 times seven

950
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,359
is four hundred and ninety years. That's right.

951
00:33:48,359 --> 00:33:50,440
And and if I'm not mistaken, that is

952
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,000
the exact 70 is the exact number of

953
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,320
jubilees that they didn't observe. Yes. Yes. And

954
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:56,299
this that's where

955
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,305
that's where this whole false prophecy came in,

956
00:33:59,924 --> 00:34:02,805
with this, this this guy to Africa, this

957
00:34:02,805 --> 00:34:05,545
prophet out of Africa just recently that was,

958
00:34:06,724 --> 00:34:08,164
that was saying that we're basically

959
00:34:09,125 --> 00:34:11,050
and and what some of what he was

960
00:34:11,050 --> 00:34:13,130
saying could be true, but but his prediction

961
00:34:13,130 --> 00:34:15,609
of of the rapture was terrible. You know?

962
00:34:15,609 --> 00:34:17,050
And and Yeah. And we don't need to

963
00:34:17,050 --> 00:34:18,489
do that. We don't need to we don't

964
00:34:18,489 --> 00:34:20,409
need to predict that. But but, yeah, that

965
00:34:20,489 --> 00:34:22,925
that's right. We're we're we're we're in those

966
00:34:22,985 --> 00:34:24,824
sixty nine weeks and about to come up

967
00:34:24,824 --> 00:34:26,905
on that seventh week. You know? That that's

968
00:34:26,905 --> 00:34:28,985
where we are. So yeah. Yeah. And he

969
00:34:28,985 --> 00:34:30,824
he he goes on and he, he lays

970
00:34:30,824 --> 00:34:33,385
out God's whole plan for for for everything

971
00:34:33,545 --> 00:34:35,670
Yeah. About what the seventy weeks is about.

972
00:34:35,750 --> 00:34:37,210
He's gonna finish the transgression,

973
00:34:37,989 --> 00:34:39,289
make an end of sin,

974
00:34:39,670 --> 00:34:41,989
make atonement for iniquity, which had happened on

975
00:34:41,989 --> 00:34:43,750
the cross, right? Yeah. Yeah. And then to

976
00:34:43,750 --> 00:34:45,369
bring in everlasting righteousness,

977
00:34:45,829 --> 00:34:47,530
to seal up vision and prophecy,

978
00:34:47,844 --> 00:34:50,244
and to anoint the most holy place. Yeah.

979
00:34:50,244 --> 00:34:52,244
So this is God's plan. This is this

980
00:34:52,244 --> 00:34:54,905
is what he's doing. Yeah. Yeah. Which

981
00:34:55,525 --> 00:34:57,285
that's pretty cool. That that just lays it

982
00:34:57,285 --> 00:34:58,805
all out and says, here's what I'm doing.

983
00:34:58,805 --> 00:35:00,949
Yeah. So so, again,

984
00:35:01,809 --> 00:35:03,570
just for everybody listening, I mean, because I

985
00:35:03,570 --> 00:35:05,969
know it is I remember Nicole saying, okay.

986
00:35:05,969 --> 00:35:07,969
Let's let's go over this again. You know?

987
00:35:07,969 --> 00:35:10,210
Well, that's the next verse. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

988
00:35:10,210 --> 00:35:12,885
But but one week equals seven years. Yeah.

989
00:35:13,364 --> 00:35:14,324
Seventy week

990
00:35:14,885 --> 00:35:17,045
seventy weeks of Daniel is four hundred ninety

991
00:35:17,045 --> 00:35:20,164
years. Yeah. Seventy weeks are divided into three

992
00:35:20,164 --> 00:35:21,385
periods, basically.

993
00:35:21,684 --> 00:35:22,184
Yeah.

994
00:35:22,485 --> 00:35:25,605
Seven weeks, sixty two weeks, and one week.

995
00:35:25,605 --> 00:35:27,445
Right. That'd be in the last week. Yeah.

996
00:35:27,445 --> 00:35:30,309
So yeah. Yep. Yep. That's actually

997
00:35:31,410 --> 00:35:33,090
I think it's Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It says

998
00:35:33,090 --> 00:35:35,090
in verse 25, so you're to know and

999
00:35:35,090 --> 00:35:37,349
discern that from the issuing of a decree

1000
00:35:37,410 --> 00:35:40,690
to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the

1001
00:35:40,690 --> 00:35:43,184
Prince, there'll be seven weeks and sixty two

1002
00:35:43,184 --> 00:35:45,505
weeks. So so the the this is where

1003
00:35:45,505 --> 00:35:48,565
we see in, Nehemiah. Mhmm. Nehemiah, Artaxerxes

1004
00:35:48,945 --> 00:35:50,625
of of the Medes and Persians, he gave

1005
00:35:50,625 --> 00:35:51,364
the command

1006
00:35:51,664 --> 00:35:53,744
to go rebuild the city. No. It's not

1007
00:35:53,744 --> 00:35:55,125
the temple. It's pity.

1008
00:35:55,599 --> 00:35:56,339
And if you remember

1009
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,199
in Nehemiah where they were building these walls

1010
00:35:59,199 --> 00:36:00,880
and they built them in record time Yeah.

1011
00:36:01,039 --> 00:36:02,800
But they had all kinds of pressure from

1012
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,480
outside. Right? They were putting rocks up with

1013
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:05,839
one hand and a sword to the other.

1014
00:36:05,839 --> 00:36:07,695
Yeah. They were they were in danger the

1015
00:36:07,695 --> 00:36:09,934
whole time. Yeah. Washing their backs. But it

1016
00:36:09,934 --> 00:36:12,094
was completed in forty nine years. That it

1017
00:36:12,094 --> 00:36:12,835
was like,

1018
00:36:13,215 --> 00:36:15,454
I'm sorry, seven weeks. Seven is that right?

1019
00:36:15,454 --> 00:36:17,855
Seven times? Yes. Forty nine. Forty nine. Forty

1020
00:36:17,855 --> 00:36:19,855
nine years. And then there's a sixty two

1021
00:36:19,855 --> 00:36:24,389
week period or '62, there was just 04/1934

1022
00:36:24,389 --> 00:36:27,030
or no yeah, yeah. There was forty nine

1023
00:36:27,030 --> 00:36:28,809
years and they rebuilt the city.

1024
00:36:29,269 --> 00:36:32,069
And then four thirty four years there's till

1025
00:36:32,069 --> 00:36:33,530
Messiah the Prince came.

1026
00:36:34,230 --> 00:36:36,714
Now the interesting thing is that and David

1027
00:36:36,714 --> 00:36:38,474
Jeremiah did a study on this in in

1028
00:36:38,474 --> 00:36:39,135
his book

1029
00:36:40,074 --> 00:36:40,815
about Babylon

1030
00:36:42,074 --> 00:36:43,914
and and and referenced some others people that

1031
00:36:43,914 --> 00:36:46,974
have done studies on this that the priests

1032
00:36:47,355 --> 00:36:49,295
and and all the people of of Israel,

1033
00:36:49,434 --> 00:36:51,809
the religious people should have known the day

1034
00:36:51,969 --> 00:36:53,890
that Jesus was gonna ride into town on

1035
00:36:53,890 --> 00:36:55,510
a donkey. Yeah. Yeah.

1036
00:36:55,890 --> 00:36:58,210
They should have known that day Yeah. Because

1037
00:36:58,210 --> 00:37:00,550
they had that same calendar. Yeah. Absolutely.

1038
00:37:00,849 --> 00:37:01,349
Absolutely.

1039
00:37:01,650 --> 00:37:03,269
But their eyes were closed. Yeah.

1040
00:37:03,570 --> 00:37:05,329
Their eyes were closed. And this book was

1041
00:37:05,329 --> 00:37:07,335
honestly kinda sealed up too, but

1042
00:37:07,734 --> 00:37:09,494
they didn't have the spirit either. You know,

1043
00:37:09,494 --> 00:37:12,054
these guys aren't gonna interpret things right anyway.

1044
00:37:12,054 --> 00:37:14,534
They didn't they didn't recognize it. Yeah. That

1045
00:37:14,534 --> 00:37:17,175
that first seven the seventy weeks begins in,

1046
00:37:17,175 --> 00:37:18,795
like, April

1047
00:37:19,494 --> 00:37:21,835
all the way to March.

1048
00:37:21,980 --> 00:37:23,359
So that's kind of a

1049
00:37:23,659 --> 00:37:25,900
timeline after that. Then after that, it goes

1050
00:37:25,900 --> 00:37:29,339
into where verse 26 is, the sixty two

1051
00:37:29,339 --> 00:37:31,420
weeks, which is four hundred and thirty four

1052
00:37:31,420 --> 00:37:33,819
years Yeah. Which he ends right before the

1053
00:37:33,819 --> 00:37:34,304
cross

1054
00:37:34,625 --> 00:37:37,025
right to the sixty ninth. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

1055
00:37:37,025 --> 00:37:39,105
When he's cut off. Yeah. But it's it's

1056
00:37:39,105 --> 00:37:41,425
just amazing. And and something else that's interesting

1057
00:37:41,425 --> 00:37:43,664
about this too is the a a prophetic

1058
00:37:43,664 --> 00:37:45,764
year is different than our year. Right.

1059
00:37:46,144 --> 00:37:48,644
A prophetic year, if if we go by

1060
00:37:49,449 --> 00:37:50,750
the account of Noah

1061
00:37:51,369 --> 00:37:53,849
where he was on he was in the

1062
00:37:53,849 --> 00:37:55,530
boat this month and that was thirty days.

1063
00:37:55,530 --> 00:37:57,769
He was in the boat, another month is

1064
00:37:57,769 --> 00:38:00,170
thirty days. Every month was thirty days. So

1065
00:38:00,170 --> 00:38:02,510
a prophetic year is three sixty days.

1066
00:38:02,925 --> 00:38:05,164
And that lines up perfectly with what we'll

1067
00:38:05,164 --> 00:38:07,244
see in Revelation and other places about twelve

1068
00:38:07,244 --> 00:38:09,085
hundred and sixty days, which is three and

1069
00:38:09,085 --> 00:38:09,905
a half years.

1070
00:38:10,204 --> 00:38:12,364
All these things line up mathematically to a

1071
00:38:12,364 --> 00:38:13,905
three hundred and sixty day year.

1072
00:38:14,285 --> 00:38:16,125
And and it's you can go back and

1073
00:38:16,125 --> 00:38:16,945
do the math.

1074
00:38:17,324 --> 00:38:17,824
It's

1075
00:38:18,380 --> 00:38:20,219
it's pretty deep and other people have done

1076
00:38:20,219 --> 00:38:21,519
it, but it's really impressive

1077
00:38:21,820 --> 00:38:23,039
that the problem

1078
00:38:23,500 --> 00:38:24,380
with it is that,

1079
00:38:25,340 --> 00:38:27,739
there's a gap. Yeah. There's a gap. So

1080
00:38:27,739 --> 00:38:29,900
we've got we've got sixty nine weeks of

1081
00:38:29,900 --> 00:38:31,739
years, like you said, that have been completed

1082
00:38:31,739 --> 00:38:34,255
because the Messiah was cut off after that

1083
00:38:34,255 --> 00:38:34,755
sixty

1084
00:38:35,375 --> 00:38:36,914
ninth, there's one week left.

1085
00:38:37,775 --> 00:38:39,954
Yeah. So that seven year period is revelation.

1086
00:38:40,014 --> 00:38:41,934
That's right. That's right. It's the tribulation. That's

1087
00:38:41,934 --> 00:38:44,175
right. And that that that's where it just

1088
00:38:44,175 --> 00:38:46,434
kicks this allegory theory in the teeth.

1089
00:38:47,159 --> 00:38:49,239
Right. It's a literal seven year thing just

1090
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,000
like it was a literal thing back then.

1091
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:51,819
Yes. Absolutely.

1092
00:38:52,119 --> 00:38:52,619
Absolutely.

1093
00:38:54,679 --> 00:38:56,359
J Vernon McGee talks about,

1094
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,179
he when he's talking about the seventy weeks,

1095
00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:01,179
of of Daniel,

1096
00:39:02,275 --> 00:39:02,994
he says that,

1097
00:39:03,394 --> 00:39:05,974
and they concern the holy city, which,

1098
00:39:06,675 --> 00:39:09,255
which can be none other than Jerusalem. Six

1099
00:39:09,315 --> 00:39:11,175
six things are to be accomplished

1100
00:39:11,554 --> 00:39:13,795
in those seventy weeks or those four hundred

1101
00:39:13,795 --> 00:39:14,614
ninety years.

1102
00:39:15,170 --> 00:39:17,430
And he said, we'll see as we progress

1103
00:39:17,650 --> 00:39:19,829
in our study that sixty nine

1104
00:39:20,130 --> 00:39:22,530
of those weeks have already passed and one

1105
00:39:22,530 --> 00:39:24,610
week is yet to be fulfilled. Yeah. And

1106
00:39:24,610 --> 00:39:26,289
here are six things that are to be

1107
00:39:26,289 --> 00:39:26,789
accomplished.

1108
00:39:27,565 --> 00:39:29,724
To finish the transgression, that refers to the

1109
00:39:29,724 --> 00:39:31,425
transgression of Israel, the cross,

1110
00:39:32,125 --> 00:39:34,605
provided the redemption for sin, the sin of

1111
00:39:34,605 --> 00:39:35,184
the nation,

1112
00:39:35,565 --> 00:39:37,505
but not all accept it.

1113
00:39:38,844 --> 00:39:40,364
There's more in that, but I won't go

1114
00:39:40,605 --> 00:39:42,204
Yeah. I see. Into it. Verse 24, I

1115
00:39:42,204 --> 00:39:44,570
think, was good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. And,

1116
00:39:46,730 --> 00:39:48,329
the second thing to make a end of

1117
00:39:48,329 --> 00:39:49,469
sins, the national

1118
00:39:49,849 --> 00:39:52,489
sins of of Israel and, again, it's Israel

1119
00:39:52,489 --> 00:39:54,010
is a nation. We gotta keep we gotta

1120
00:39:54,010 --> 00:39:55,369
keep that in mind that this is Israel

1121
00:39:55,369 --> 00:39:56,730
is a nation that is that have turned

1122
00:39:56,730 --> 00:39:58,605
against god. We'll come at the end of

1123
00:39:58,605 --> 00:40:01,244
the second coming of Christ. They are just

1124
00:40:01,244 --> 00:40:03,324
like any other people in any other nation.

1125
00:40:03,324 --> 00:40:04,625
They're sinners as individuals

1126
00:40:05,244 --> 00:40:06,224
and as a nation.

1127
00:40:06,605 --> 00:40:08,684
They they have made many mistakes as a

1128
00:40:08,684 --> 00:40:10,765
nation, so have we. But God will make

1129
00:40:10,765 --> 00:40:12,445
an end to that. He will make an

1130
00:40:12,445 --> 00:40:13,110
end to that.

1131
00:40:13,630 --> 00:40:15,829
The third thing, to make a reconciliation for

1132
00:40:15,829 --> 00:40:18,650
the iniquity. During the period of seventy weeks,

1133
00:40:18,789 --> 00:40:21,110
God has provided redemption through the death and

1134
00:40:21,110 --> 00:40:23,430
resurrection of Jesus Christ. Yes. This is, of

1135
00:40:23,430 --> 00:40:26,570
course, is for Jews and Gentiles alike.

1136
00:40:27,215 --> 00:40:29,554
And then number four, to bring an everlasting

1137
00:40:29,775 --> 00:40:30,275
righteousness.

1138
00:40:30,815 --> 00:40:32,735
It refers to the return of Christ at

1139
00:40:32,735 --> 00:40:34,414
the end of the four hundred ninety years,

1140
00:40:34,414 --> 00:40:36,175
at the end of that at that that

1141
00:40:36,175 --> 00:40:39,309
last week Yeah. To establish his kingdom. And

1142
00:40:39,309 --> 00:40:40,829
then the fifth thing, to seal up the

1143
00:40:40,829 --> 00:40:43,309
vision of prophecy means that all will be

1144
00:40:43,309 --> 00:40:45,710
fulfilled. Don't let's let's wrap this thing up

1145
00:40:45,710 --> 00:40:48,529
because it's done now. Yeah. And it'll vindicate

1146
00:40:48,589 --> 00:40:49,329
this prophecy

1147
00:40:50,269 --> 00:40:52,614
as well as other prophecies in scripture. The

1148
00:40:52,614 --> 00:40:55,275
sixth thing is to anoint the most holy,

1149
00:40:56,055 --> 00:40:58,695
has reference to the to the, anointment of

1150
00:40:58,695 --> 00:41:01,094
the Holy of Holies in the millennial temple

1151
00:41:01,494 --> 00:41:04,775
Yeah. After which Ezekiel spoke in Ezekiel 41

1152
00:41:04,775 --> 00:41:07,460
through 46 in in those chapters there. That's

1153
00:41:07,460 --> 00:41:09,059
his plan. That's his plan. He laid it

1154
00:41:09,059 --> 00:41:10,659
all out for us, didn't he? He did.

1155
00:41:10,659 --> 00:41:12,579
Yeah. Yeah. And he's he's doing it. He's

1156
00:41:12,579 --> 00:41:14,900
doing it. He's doing it. It's I I

1157
00:41:14,900 --> 00:41:16,420
just I just love this, man. And and

1158
00:41:16,420 --> 00:41:18,739
these four verses are just like, golly, man.

1159
00:41:18,739 --> 00:41:20,804
I've been going forever and it's just just

1160
00:41:20,804 --> 00:41:22,804
packed full. They are. Yeah. And and he

1161
00:41:22,804 --> 00:41:23,304
goes,

1162
00:41:24,324 --> 00:41:27,445
it says, verse 26, I guess, is, then

1163
00:41:27,445 --> 00:41:29,764
after the sixty two weeks, the messiah will

1164
00:41:29,764 --> 00:41:31,284
be cut off and have nothing and the

1165
00:41:31,284 --> 00:41:32,964
people of the prince who is to come

1166
00:41:32,964 --> 00:41:34,664
will destroy the city in the sanctuary.

1167
00:41:35,789 --> 00:41:37,250
So this is really interesting

1168
00:41:37,789 --> 00:41:39,489
because this goes back to our statue.

1169
00:41:40,590 --> 00:41:42,369
The legs of iron were Rome

1170
00:41:42,989 --> 00:41:45,230
and the prince of the people who is

1171
00:41:45,230 --> 00:41:46,670
to come will destroy the city in the

1172
00:41:46,670 --> 00:41:48,050
sanctuary. Well, who destroyed

1173
00:41:48,510 --> 00:41:50,804
Jerusalem and the temple in seventy AD?

1174
00:41:51,764 --> 00:41:53,525
It was Rome. Rome was, yeah. It was

1175
00:41:53,525 --> 00:41:55,764
Rome. So we know the prince who is

1176
00:41:55,764 --> 00:41:58,505
to come, this Antichrist figure who's to come

1177
00:41:58,724 --> 00:42:01,525
is of this revived Roman Empire, this ten

1178
00:42:01,525 --> 00:42:02,425
toe Confederacy,

1179
00:42:02,885 --> 00:42:04,505
right? This 10 nation,

1180
00:42:05,045 --> 00:42:05,864
10 kingdom,

1181
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,680
or however you wanna say it. Right. Amen.

1182
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,260
Yeah. So so he goes, they'll destroy

1183
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,320
the city and sanctuary. At its end will

1184
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:14,840
come a flood. Even to the end, there

1185
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,880
will be war. Desolations are determined. And we

1186
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,880
see that all around us. To the end,

1187
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:20,860
there will be war.

1188
00:42:21,344 --> 00:42:24,164
There'll be war. Yeah. Yeah. Amen. Amen.

1189
00:42:24,945 --> 00:42:27,184
Another thing that that I had read here

1190
00:42:27,184 --> 00:42:28,885
that, the starting point

1191
00:42:29,264 --> 00:42:31,184
for this period of four hundred and ninety

1192
00:42:31,184 --> 00:42:32,965
years is essential to the correct

1193
00:42:35,219 --> 00:42:36,842
understanding of the Yeah. It is. Yeah. Since

1194
00:42:36,842 --> 00:42:38,039
this period is projected into the

1195
00:42:38,340 --> 00:42:40,019
times of the Gentiles, it must fit into

1196
00:42:40,019 --> 00:42:41,079
secular history

1197
00:42:41,460 --> 00:42:43,800
and originate from some date

1198
00:42:44,099 --> 00:42:46,099
connected with the times of the Gentiles. Of

1199
00:42:46,099 --> 00:42:49,094
course, there have been many suggestions for the

1200
00:42:49,094 --> 00:42:50,875
starting point, the decree of Cyrus

1201
00:42:51,335 --> 00:42:53,574
in Ezra chapter one verse one through four,

1202
00:42:53,574 --> 00:42:55,815
the decree of Darius in Ezra chapter six

1203
00:42:55,815 --> 00:42:56,954
verse one through 12,

1204
00:42:57,335 --> 00:42:58,795
the decree of Artaxerxes,

1205
00:42:59,734 --> 00:43:01,914
at the seventh year of his reign, Ezra

1206
00:43:02,135 --> 00:43:03,914
seven eleven through 26.

1207
00:43:04,269 --> 00:43:06,269
But this is what he says here. He

1208
00:43:06,269 --> 00:43:07,950
said, but I feel that the decree of

1209
00:43:07,950 --> 00:43:10,610
Artaxerxes is the twentieth year of his reign.

1210
00:43:10,910 --> 00:43:11,410
Nehemiah's,

1211
00:43:11,950 --> 00:43:14,110
two one through eight. Yeah. And it it

1212
00:43:14,110 --> 00:43:16,510
meets those requirements of verse 25.

1213
00:43:16,829 --> 00:43:19,394
So Yeah. Who that then the commandment to

1214
00:43:19,394 --> 00:43:21,974
to rebuild the city of Jerusalem was issued

1215
00:43:22,355 --> 00:43:24,055
in the month of Nissan,

1216
00:43:24,914 --> 00:43:26,434
in April.

1217
00:43:26,434 --> 00:43:29,315
Yep. That then will be our starting that

1218
00:43:29,315 --> 00:43:30,914
will be our starting point Yeah. Of that

1219
00:43:30,914 --> 00:43:32,675
of that whole thing. And the clock started

1220
00:43:32,675 --> 00:43:33,449
ticking. It did.

1221
00:43:34,010 --> 00:43:35,849
And that that's why it's just it's just

1222
00:43:35,849 --> 00:43:38,570
amazing to know, you know, David Jeremiah's mothers

1223
00:43:38,570 --> 00:43:40,489
came up with around they came up around

1224
00:43:40,489 --> 00:43:42,329
thirty AD just trying to just trying to

1225
00:43:42,329 --> 00:43:44,089
cipher out, you know, between the two different

1226
00:43:44,089 --> 00:43:45,049
calendars Right.

1227
00:43:45,449 --> 00:43:47,130
Where where that might have landed, but they

1228
00:43:47,130 --> 00:43:49,324
landed right around thirty, thirty three AD. Yeah.

1229
00:43:49,324 --> 00:43:50,844
They were all they were all in the

1230
00:43:50,844 --> 00:43:53,405
same Yeah. Just just counting it off like

1231
00:43:53,405 --> 00:43:54,545
that. But but,

1232
00:43:56,284 --> 00:43:59,085
that that's just kinda interesting. Yeah. You know,

1233
00:43:59,085 --> 00:44:00,844
I guess, but but we it doesn't tell

1234
00:44:00,844 --> 00:44:02,924
us when the last week's coming. Yeah. That's

1235
00:44:02,924 --> 00:44:05,300
right. No. It doesn't. Yeah. We don't know

1236
00:44:05,300 --> 00:44:07,300
that. No. We don't know that exactly. And

1237
00:44:07,300 --> 00:44:08,280
and Nothing's given.

1238
00:44:09,619 --> 00:44:12,019
So and we can't again, we can't predict

1239
00:44:12,019 --> 00:44:12,519
that.

1240
00:44:12,900 --> 00:44:13,800
Be so careful,

1241
00:44:14,260 --> 00:44:16,599
folks, when you when you listen to these,

1242
00:44:17,335 --> 00:44:19,195
people who call themselves prophets,

1243
00:44:19,894 --> 00:44:21,275
modern day prophets. Again,

1244
00:44:22,934 --> 00:44:25,114
a prophet in our time, in our our

1245
00:44:25,175 --> 00:44:27,494
day is just some is just someone who

1246
00:44:27,494 --> 00:44:29,335
proclaims the truth of the gospel. And if

1247
00:44:29,335 --> 00:44:31,255
they're doing anything other than that or adding

1248
00:44:31,255 --> 00:44:33,289
anything to it, then turn them off. Don't

1249
00:44:33,289 --> 00:44:34,889
listen to them. Don't get caught up in

1250
00:44:34,889 --> 00:44:37,369
it. Yeah. All we need is the rightly

1251
00:44:37,369 --> 00:44:39,289
divided word in it. Yeah. Just we don't

1252
00:44:39,289 --> 00:44:42,250
need Internet fluff. No. No. It just and

1253
00:44:42,250 --> 00:44:44,409
it can crush people's faith. They can. It

1254
00:44:44,409 --> 00:44:46,385
really can. I mean, you think about

1255
00:44:47,244 --> 00:44:49,965
and listen, a lot of very intelligent people,

1256
00:44:50,284 --> 00:44:52,684
bought into this Yeah. Bought into this,

1257
00:44:53,965 --> 00:44:56,525
this last prophecy that went on. Because if

1258
00:44:56,525 --> 00:44:57,804
you sat and listened to it, and I

1259
00:44:57,804 --> 00:44:59,324
did, because I wanted to be able to

1260
00:44:59,324 --> 00:45:00,144
defend it,

1261
00:45:00,549 --> 00:45:02,150
to defend the truth with it. And so

1262
00:45:02,150 --> 00:45:04,230
I listened to it, and and and they

1263
00:45:04,230 --> 00:45:06,250
took a lot of time to go through

1264
00:45:06,710 --> 00:45:09,029
and and line everything up with the feast

1265
00:45:09,029 --> 00:45:11,670
of trumpets and and the sixty nine, you

1266
00:45:11,670 --> 00:45:13,269
know, the sixty nine weeks and,

1267
00:45:14,244 --> 00:45:16,244
before the seventieth week and how this was

1268
00:45:16,244 --> 00:45:18,405
gonna enter into this. And, I mean, they

1269
00:45:18,405 --> 00:45:20,644
had everything just down to a t, it

1270
00:45:20,644 --> 00:45:23,204
sounded like, but it was it all went

1271
00:45:23,204 --> 00:45:24,804
against the word of God. Yeah. It's wrong.

1272
00:45:24,804 --> 00:45:25,465
And and

1273
00:45:25,844 --> 00:45:27,525
the the thing that that gets me about

1274
00:45:27,525 --> 00:45:29,224
it, it can be very convincing

1275
00:45:29,630 --> 00:45:32,030
cause those four spring festivals were all fulfilled

1276
00:45:32,030 --> 00:45:34,849
to the day. Yeah, absolutely. Passover and Pentecost,

1277
00:45:34,910 --> 00:45:37,309
all those feast of first fruits. The last

1278
00:45:37,309 --> 00:45:38,449
three fall festivals

1279
00:45:38,989 --> 00:45:41,309
will probably be the same, I would think,

1280
00:45:41,309 --> 00:45:43,284
maybe. Yeah. But the the what they were

1281
00:45:43,284 --> 00:45:45,864
missing is that the first four festivals

1282
00:45:46,244 --> 00:45:48,244
were were fulfilled to the day in the

1283
00:45:48,244 --> 00:45:51,204
same year. Yeah. Yeah. Right? If if feast

1284
00:45:51,204 --> 00:45:54,005
of trumpets is is, is the rapture, then

1285
00:45:54,005 --> 00:45:55,525
you got seven more years to go to

1286
00:45:55,525 --> 00:45:57,389
the next one at least. Right? Right. Yeah.

1287
00:45:57,389 --> 00:45:59,809
So that's not the same year. No. No.

1288
00:46:01,069 --> 00:46:02,909
We we just we do gotta be careful.

1289
00:46:02,909 --> 00:46:05,069
Yeah. And then and then you had people

1290
00:46:05,069 --> 00:46:07,389
still hanging on to it after that was

1291
00:46:07,389 --> 00:46:09,309
predicted saying, well, because they got into the

1292
00:46:09,309 --> 00:46:11,230
whole calendar thing, you know, well, they're looking

1293
00:46:11,230 --> 00:46:12,269
at their own calendar. They're

1294
00:46:12,965 --> 00:46:13,465
okay.

1295
00:46:13,925 --> 00:46:15,925
Okay. Yeah. And It's not been given. That's

1296
00:46:15,925 --> 00:46:18,005
the problem. Here's the here's the thing. If

1297
00:46:18,005 --> 00:46:19,605
God came to you and told you it's

1298
00:46:19,605 --> 00:46:21,445
gonna happen on this date, he's gonna speak

1299
00:46:21,445 --> 00:46:23,364
in your language and your time. So if

1300
00:46:23,364 --> 00:46:25,045
you missed it, you missed it. You know,

1301
00:46:25,045 --> 00:46:26,804
it's it's not there. Well, we were reading

1302
00:46:26,804 --> 00:46:29,150
in in in Sunday school in second Peter

1303
00:46:29,150 --> 00:46:31,469
chapter three about scoffers in the last days.

1304
00:46:31,469 --> 00:46:33,469
These scoffers will come. Absolutely. Right. And this

1305
00:46:33,469 --> 00:46:35,630
does it contributes a lot to that. Absolutely.

1306
00:46:35,630 --> 00:46:37,170
Absolutely. You know, we,

1307
00:46:37,630 --> 00:46:39,069
I I sent you a thing the other

1308
00:46:39,069 --> 00:46:40,934
day on we've we've got we've got so

1309
00:46:41,015 --> 00:46:43,175
many false prophets around us right now. You

1310
00:46:43,175 --> 00:46:45,175
know? People people teaching that,

1311
00:46:45,735 --> 00:46:46,474
that that,

1312
00:46:47,175 --> 00:46:48,775
if you go to hell, that Jesus can

1313
00:46:48,775 --> 00:46:50,375
actually go into hell and get you and

1314
00:46:50,375 --> 00:46:52,055
bring you home. You know? I mean Yeah.

1315
00:46:52,135 --> 00:46:54,089
Not oh, man. That's going way too far

1316
00:46:54,089 --> 00:46:55,289
that yeah. You know, I think of of

1317
00:46:55,289 --> 00:46:57,469
Jesus snatching somebody out of hell. It's

1318
00:46:57,849 --> 00:47:00,409
like me. Right? I was living stupid and

1319
00:47:00,569 --> 00:47:02,489
I go. Yeah. Yeah. Not after, I guess.

1320
00:47:02,489 --> 00:47:04,269
Right. Not go actually going to Figuratively.

1321
00:47:04,569 --> 00:47:07,195
Yeah. Figuratively. Yeah. And and he did go

1322
00:47:07,195 --> 00:47:10,234
into paradise, and he emptied out paradise. Right?

1323
00:47:10,234 --> 00:47:12,155
He took the old testament saints with him.

1324
00:47:12,155 --> 00:47:15,114
Yeah. But but he he he once you

1325
00:47:15,114 --> 00:47:16,574
once you die

1326
00:47:17,114 --> 00:47:18,494
and leave this world,

1327
00:47:19,514 --> 00:47:22,014
there there's no coming back. No. There's no

1328
00:47:22,210 --> 00:47:25,010
there's nothing left. That that is that is

1329
00:47:25,010 --> 00:47:27,090
the sin that can't be forgiven. Right? That's

1330
00:47:27,250 --> 00:47:28,369
that that is that is,

1331
00:47:29,050 --> 00:47:30,230
that is,

1332
00:47:31,090 --> 00:47:32,769
that's it. That's the end. Yeah. We've got

1333
00:47:32,769 --> 00:47:34,530
our choice in this life. That's right. And,

1334
00:47:34,690 --> 00:47:36,704
just like the angels had their choice. Yeah.

1335
00:47:36,704 --> 00:47:38,224
And they don't have another choice, do they?

1336
00:47:38,224 --> 00:47:39,985
Never get another choice. They'll never get another

1337
00:47:39,985 --> 00:47:41,285
choice. Those who chose

1338
00:47:42,144 --> 00:47:44,625
they they've almost lived the the angels have

1339
00:47:44,625 --> 00:47:46,945
lived what we're living almost, you know, in

1340
00:47:46,945 --> 00:47:49,230
in a in a roundabout way. With no

1341
00:47:49,230 --> 00:47:51,670
redemption. With no yeah. That's right. That's right.

1342
00:47:51,670 --> 00:47:53,609
Those who chose to stay with Jesus

1343
00:47:54,630 --> 00:47:56,469
stayed with him and and and he has

1344
00:47:56,469 --> 00:47:58,230
give them, I believe, the mind of Christ

1345
00:47:58,230 --> 00:47:59,829
forever. I don't think they have to choose

1346
00:47:59,829 --> 00:48:01,509
again. You know what I'm saying? So we

1347
00:48:01,509 --> 00:48:03,734
won't either. Yeah. Right. And we won't either.

1348
00:48:03,734 --> 00:48:05,734
No. I've had a lot of people ask

1349
00:48:05,734 --> 00:48:07,815
me, well, okay. So we get to heaven

1350
00:48:07,815 --> 00:48:10,054
and all things are made new and and

1351
00:48:10,054 --> 00:48:11,655
and, you know, what what about what if

1352
00:48:11,655 --> 00:48:13,255
we make our own choice then? You're not.

1353
00:48:13,255 --> 00:48:15,030
You're gonna have the mind to cry. Right.

1354
00:48:15,269 --> 00:48:17,269
The former things are passed away, behold all

1355
00:48:17,269 --> 00:48:19,989
things become new and and we're gonna be,

1356
00:48:19,989 --> 00:48:22,949
we're gonna again the angels now that that

1357
00:48:22,949 --> 00:48:24,010
stayed with him

1358
00:48:24,309 --> 00:48:26,949
have the mindset of Christ that that that

1359
00:48:26,949 --> 00:48:28,710
they're not gonna choose anything else. They know

1360
00:48:28,710 --> 00:48:30,554
they've chosen the best Yep. And so they're

1361
00:48:30,554 --> 00:48:32,474
not going back. And the same with those

1362
00:48:32,474 --> 00:48:35,295
fallen angels who are now demonic spirits who

1363
00:48:35,355 --> 00:48:36,734
who who went with Satan,

1364
00:48:37,114 --> 00:48:38,635
they don't have a choice to be redeemed.

1365
00:48:38,635 --> 00:48:39,114
No.

1366
00:48:39,594 --> 00:48:42,074
There's no place in scripture that gives us

1367
00:48:42,074 --> 00:48:42,894
any indication

1368
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,920
that they're redeemed or anybody else who's in

1369
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:47,679
in hell has redeemed. Yeah. And for for

1370
00:48:47,679 --> 00:48:49,839
anybody listening that thinks that may sound harsh,

1371
00:48:49,839 --> 00:48:51,780
how many chances have you had to choose?

1372
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,559
Sure. Yeah. You don't just get once usually.

1373
00:48:54,559 --> 00:48:55,920
I mean, you go through a lifetime of

1374
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,359
saying, I don't want that. I don't want

1375
00:48:57,359 --> 00:48:58,655
that. I don't want that. I want I

1376
00:48:58,655 --> 00:49:00,914
want what I want. That's right. That's right.

1377
00:49:01,454 --> 00:49:03,135
And and it can be harsh. And and

1378
00:49:03,135 --> 00:49:05,135
and the reality of of hell is that

1379
00:49:05,135 --> 00:49:07,954
you're gonna regret that for eternity. Yeah. Absolutely.

1380
00:49:08,255 --> 00:49:10,815
Right. And and with no presence of joy,

1381
00:49:10,815 --> 00:49:12,574
no presence of peace or love or a

1382
00:49:12,574 --> 00:49:15,050
kindness, none of that because God's a source

1383
00:49:15,050 --> 00:49:16,570
of love. No fruits of the spirit are

1384
00:49:16,570 --> 00:49:19,550
gonna be there. No. No. That's just emptiness

1385
00:49:19,610 --> 00:49:20,269
and regret.

1386
00:49:20,570 --> 00:49:22,890
Yeah. Awful. Yeah. It is. It is. Not

1387
00:49:22,890 --> 00:49:24,890
to mention the fire. The fire might I

1388
00:49:24,890 --> 00:49:26,304
mean, that might even be the worst thing,

1389
00:49:26,304 --> 00:49:28,224
you know, to be to be absent of

1390
00:49:28,224 --> 00:49:30,704
of any presence of God to to, you

1391
00:49:30,704 --> 00:49:32,625
know, I don't care who you are now.

1392
00:49:32,625 --> 00:49:35,344
The Holy Spirit is is moving among us

1393
00:49:35,344 --> 00:49:37,204
and Christians are here,

1394
00:49:37,985 --> 00:49:40,150
with the Holy Spirit living in them. And

1395
00:49:40,150 --> 00:49:42,070
that's why that's how the anti Christ is

1396
00:49:42,070 --> 00:49:43,829
gonna come on the scene. Amen. That's why

1397
00:49:43,829 --> 00:49:45,590
the Bible says until he who now lets

1398
00:49:45,590 --> 00:49:47,269
is taken out of the way. And what

1399
00:49:47,269 --> 00:49:49,349
he's talking about is is the Holy Spirit

1400
00:49:49,349 --> 00:49:50,570
is holding back,

1401
00:49:51,909 --> 00:49:54,255
the anti Christ from just coming out and

1402
00:49:54,255 --> 00:49:56,815
destroying everything right now for going straight into

1403
00:49:56,815 --> 00:50:00,094
this tribulation period time. And until the Holy

1404
00:50:00,094 --> 00:50:01,875
Spirit is gone with the church,

1405
00:50:02,255 --> 00:50:03,614
that won't be able to take place. And

1406
00:50:03,614 --> 00:50:05,199
he comes in with his false light. He

1407
00:50:05,199 --> 00:50:06,640
does. Yeah. False lie. And that and that's

1408
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,320
what he says here in in in verse

1409
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,559
27 is he's gonna make a firm covenant

1410
00:50:10,559 --> 00:50:12,160
with the many for one week. Yeah. And

1411
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:13,599
this is where we get the idea too

1412
00:50:13,599 --> 00:50:15,679
that that of the antichrist making a covenant

1413
00:50:15,679 --> 00:50:18,375
with Israel or or with maybe the whole

1414
00:50:18,375 --> 00:50:20,054
world. But in the middle of the week,

1415
00:50:20,054 --> 00:50:21,494
so that's that three and a half year

1416
00:50:21,574 --> 00:50:23,175
two, three and a half year period thing

1417
00:50:23,175 --> 00:50:24,695
again. In the middle of the week, he

1418
00:50:24,695 --> 00:50:26,535
will put a stop to sacrifice and grain

1419
00:50:26,535 --> 00:50:28,535
offering. And on the wing of abominations will

1420
00:50:28,535 --> 00:50:30,989
come one who makes desolate even until a

1421
00:50:30,989 --> 00:50:33,309
complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured

1422
00:50:33,309 --> 00:50:35,390
out on the one who makes desolate. So

1423
00:50:35,390 --> 00:50:37,789
he puts puts a stop to the grain

1424
00:50:37,789 --> 00:50:39,409
offering and to the sacrifices.

1425
00:50:39,949 --> 00:50:42,590
So that implies or infers, whichever word it

1426
00:50:42,590 --> 00:50:43,065
is,

1427
00:50:43,625 --> 00:50:46,105
that there's a temple. Yeah. There's gotta be

1428
00:50:46,105 --> 00:50:47,625
a temple in the end days. And this

1429
00:50:47,625 --> 00:50:49,065
is where we get that idea. If you've

1430
00:50:49,065 --> 00:50:50,905
heard of well, they're working on a third

1431
00:50:50,905 --> 00:50:53,065
temple and wonder what the importance of that

1432
00:50:53,065 --> 00:50:55,385
is. Well, it's right here. That temple has

1433
00:50:55,385 --> 00:50:56,880
to be there for him to put a

1434
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,280
stop to the sacrifice Yeah. And for him

1435
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,519
to desecrate it Yeah. Like he's gonna do,

1436
00:51:01,519 --> 00:51:04,159
like he'd like Antiochus Ford did way back

1437
00:51:04,159 --> 00:51:04,659
when.

1438
00:51:05,839 --> 00:51:06,159
He,

1439
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:07,440
he ends up

1440
00:51:08,175 --> 00:51:10,574
this is this is interesting here. Sixty two

1441
00:51:10,574 --> 00:51:12,515
weeks or four hundred and thirty four years,

1442
00:51:13,054 --> 00:51:14,515
brings us to the messiah.

1443
00:51:15,535 --> 00:51:17,934
Sir Robert Anderson in his book, The Coming

1444
00:51:17,934 --> 00:51:21,315
Prince, was, has worked out the time schedule

1445
00:51:21,375 --> 00:51:23,795
from the first of the month of Nissans

1446
00:51:24,230 --> 00:51:25,769
to the tenth of Nissan,

1447
00:51:26,230 --> 00:51:28,869
April 6 is he he kinda narrows that

1448
00:51:28,869 --> 00:51:31,750
down to eighty thirty two or or one

1449
00:51:31,750 --> 00:51:33,909
thousand excuse me, one hundred and seventy three

1450
00:51:33,909 --> 00:51:36,469
thousand eight hundred and eighty days. Dividing them

1451
00:51:36,469 --> 00:51:38,309
according to the Jewish year of three hundred

1452
00:51:38,309 --> 00:51:40,525
and sixty days, he arrives in, like, four

1453
00:51:40,844 --> 00:51:42,144
I think it's April,

1454
00:51:43,164 --> 00:51:44,144
something there.

1455
00:51:44,925 --> 00:51:47,644
Anyway, it's sixty nine sixty nine years of

1456
00:51:47,644 --> 00:51:48,144
sevens.

1457
00:51:48,844 --> 00:51:51,184
And on this day, Jesus rode in Jerusalem

1458
00:51:51,405 --> 00:51:54,349
offering himself for the first time publicly and

1459
00:51:54,349 --> 00:51:56,849
officially as as Messiah. That's mind blowing.

1460
00:51:57,150 --> 00:51:59,150
It's mind blowing. Yeah. That's how accurate these

1461
00:51:59,150 --> 00:52:01,710
prophecies are, man. Yeah. But but this book

1462
00:52:01,710 --> 00:52:02,910
was sealed up to him and they couldn't

1463
00:52:02,910 --> 00:52:04,635
see. That's right. It was. It was.

1464
00:52:05,114 --> 00:52:06,875
So it's just mind blowing. And and how

1465
00:52:06,875 --> 00:52:08,474
good is God to to reveal it all

1466
00:52:08,474 --> 00:52:10,635
to us? Yeah. Right. Yeah. And he's he's

1467
00:52:10,795 --> 00:52:12,554
that's a confidence builder, ain't it? It's like,

1468
00:52:12,554 --> 00:52:14,474
look what look what I did before. Yeah.

1469
00:52:14,474 --> 00:52:16,574
Yeah. It's happening again. This ain't an allegory.

1470
00:52:16,715 --> 00:52:18,619
No. No. This is this stuff is gonna

1471
00:52:18,619 --> 00:52:20,860
happen. And some of it has and and

1472
00:52:20,860 --> 00:52:22,700
the rest of it will. Absolutely. That's that's

1473
00:52:22,700 --> 00:52:24,780
amen. Absolutely. Amen. We can trust in that.

1474
00:52:24,780 --> 00:52:26,619
We can take comfort in that. Encourage one

1475
00:52:26,619 --> 00:52:28,380
another in that, Paul says, and purpose on

1476
00:52:28,380 --> 00:52:30,059
him. He does, doesn't he? He does. Yeah.

1477
00:52:30,059 --> 00:52:32,815
Encourage one another. Amen. Amen. We can find

1478
00:52:32,815 --> 00:52:34,974
joy in the fact that we don't have

1479
00:52:34,974 --> 00:52:37,775
to suffer that time of, tribulation. That he's

1480
00:52:37,775 --> 00:52:39,614
gonna take us out. And I I don't

1481
00:52:39,614 --> 00:52:41,055
I don't see how anybody could believe any

1482
00:52:41,055 --> 00:52:42,735
different when you put the scriptures together. Do

1483
00:52:42,735 --> 00:52:44,909
you know? Destined for wrath. No. No. No.

1484
00:52:44,909 --> 00:52:46,909
No. It's there. It's clear. Yeah. It's clear.

1485
00:52:46,909 --> 00:52:49,710
Awesome. Awesome stuff, man. Awesome. Well, he gets

1486
00:52:49,710 --> 00:52:52,609
he gets another vision in, in chapter 10,

1487
00:52:53,710 --> 00:52:56,414
and and chapters ten and eleven, really.

1488
00:52:56,815 --> 00:52:58,974
And what this is, man, is that if

1489
00:52:58,974 --> 00:53:01,295
you're a big history buff, go back and

1490
00:53:01,295 --> 00:53:02,515
look at chapter 11.

1491
00:53:02,894 --> 00:53:05,855
And chapter 10 is basically Daniel saying, I'm

1492
00:53:05,855 --> 00:53:07,295
sick as a dog. I have face planted

1493
00:53:07,295 --> 00:53:09,339
on the ground. I can't stand up. You

1494
00:53:09,339 --> 00:53:10,940
know? All that stuff because he's had an

1495
00:53:10,940 --> 00:53:13,280
encounter with Jesus, the preincarnate Jesus.

1496
00:53:13,900 --> 00:53:14,559
But in,

1497
00:53:15,260 --> 00:53:17,019
he he skips forward in in '11 in

1498
00:53:17,019 --> 00:53:18,460
the first year of Darius the Medes. So

1499
00:53:18,460 --> 00:53:20,059
he's out of Babylon now and he's with

1500
00:53:20,059 --> 00:53:21,704
the Medes in Persia. Right. With

1501
00:53:22,184 --> 00:53:24,425
but, but, he gives just an overview of

1502
00:53:24,425 --> 00:53:26,265
history down through here all the way from

1503
00:53:26,265 --> 00:53:28,425
chapter 11 verse one all the way down

1504
00:53:28,425 --> 00:53:30,844
to about verse 35. And he's describing

1505
00:53:31,144 --> 00:53:33,545
there was Antiochus two. There was all these

1506
00:53:33,545 --> 00:53:35,890
different people. Even lays out what some people

1507
00:53:35,890 --> 00:53:37,030
may think is Cleopatra

1508
00:53:37,410 --> 00:53:39,090
because the wife was given from Egypt to

1509
00:53:39,090 --> 00:53:41,250
these different empires and all this stuff. It's

1510
00:53:41,250 --> 00:53:43,750
crazy how accurate this stuff is been fulfilled.

1511
00:53:44,050 --> 00:53:45,730
So he goes back into the future in

1512
00:53:45,730 --> 00:53:46,789
verse 36

1513
00:53:47,094 --> 00:53:49,414
and starts talking about the antichrist again. And

1514
00:53:49,414 --> 00:53:51,094
here's some of the things. I'll just I

1515
00:53:51,094 --> 00:53:52,454
won't read it all because it's quite a

1516
00:53:52,454 --> 00:53:54,295
bit. But here's some of the things he

1517
00:53:54,295 --> 00:53:56,215
says that this thing this guy will do

1518
00:53:56,215 --> 00:53:59,255
as he pleases, will exalt and magnify himself

1519
00:53:59,255 --> 00:54:01,974
above every god and speak monstrous things against

1520
00:54:01,974 --> 00:54:02,880
the God of gods.

1521
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,859
He will prosper until the indignation is finished

1522
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,920
for that which is decreed will be done.

1523
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:09,839
He will show no regard for the gods

1524
00:54:09,839 --> 00:54:11,679
of his fathers or for the desire of

1525
00:54:11,679 --> 00:54:12,179
women

1526
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:14,799
nor will he show regard for any other

1527
00:54:14,799 --> 00:54:17,175
god. He will instead honor a god of

1528
00:54:17,175 --> 00:54:19,974
fortresses. Verse 39, he'll take action against the

1529
00:54:19,974 --> 00:54:21,035
strongest of fortresses.

1530
00:54:21,575 --> 00:54:23,735
And then in 40, he starts talking about

1531
00:54:23,735 --> 00:54:25,414
how the north and south are gonna collide

1532
00:54:25,414 --> 00:54:27,255
and he talks about the antichrist has got

1533
00:54:27,255 --> 00:54:29,095
people mad at him and armies coming against

1534
00:54:29,095 --> 00:54:29,595
him.

1535
00:54:29,969 --> 00:54:31,409
And I think this is where we get

1536
00:54:31,409 --> 00:54:34,449
into Armageddon. Yes. Right? Because all these armies

1537
00:54:34,449 --> 00:54:36,849
are coming together against him and Israel Right.

1538
00:54:37,010 --> 00:54:38,230
In the Valley Of Megiddo.

1539
00:54:39,329 --> 00:54:41,650
So so this stuff is just it's just

1540
00:54:41,650 --> 00:54:42,469
mind blowing

1541
00:54:42,769 --> 00:54:44,369
how accurate this stuff if you go back

1542
00:54:44,369 --> 00:54:45,525
and look at the history of it.

1543
00:54:47,364 --> 00:54:50,244
It. And I just, I don't understand how

1544
00:54:50,244 --> 00:54:51,264
anybody can

1545
00:54:51,764 --> 00:54:53,684
it still just blows me away that, oh,

1546
00:54:53,684 --> 00:54:56,085
well, Revelation is just an allegory. We just

1547
00:54:56,085 --> 00:54:57,464
blah, blah, blah, blah,

1548
00:54:59,204 --> 00:55:01,789
blah, blah, blah, blah. It blew view and

1549
00:55:01,789 --> 00:55:02,929
so forth and so on.

1550
00:55:03,710 --> 00:55:05,869
No, man. This stuff is gonna happen. It's

1551
00:55:05,869 --> 00:55:07,789
real. God laid it out. Real force in

1552
00:55:07,789 --> 00:55:09,630
Daniel. He did it again in Revelation. Well,

1553
00:55:09,630 --> 00:55:11,309
these are the same people that tried to

1554
00:55:11,309 --> 00:55:12,289
explain away,

1555
00:55:13,070 --> 00:55:15,150
the crossing in the Jordan, the crossing of

1556
00:55:15,150 --> 00:55:16,050
the Red Sea,

1557
00:55:16,474 --> 00:55:18,315
all the miracles of God. That's I mean,

1558
00:55:18,315 --> 00:55:20,155
that's what that's what they're doing. They're basically

1559
00:55:20,155 --> 00:55:22,795
explaining the way miracles, right, that happen. Okay.

1560
00:55:22,795 --> 00:55:24,255
So, you know,

1561
00:55:24,795 --> 00:55:26,094
I've I've heard it said before,

1562
00:55:26,474 --> 00:55:28,715
the whole Red Sea thing. Well, it was

1563
00:55:28,715 --> 00:55:30,155
a it was a dry time of year

1564
00:55:30,155 --> 00:55:31,779
for a sea. Yeah. It was a dry

1565
00:55:31,779 --> 00:55:32,980
time of year and they were able to

1566
00:55:32,980 --> 00:55:35,779
walk across on, you know. I said, okay.

1567
00:55:35,779 --> 00:55:37,779
So yeah. And and the water was only

1568
00:55:37,779 --> 00:55:39,699
just like a, you know, couple of feet

1569
00:55:39,699 --> 00:55:41,139
high. I said, okay. So he drowned the

1570
00:55:41,139 --> 00:55:42,739
whole Egyptian army in a couple of feet

1571
00:55:42,739 --> 00:55:44,594
of water. Right? Yeah. You know, I mean,

1572
00:55:44,594 --> 00:55:46,994
come on. These things come losing. Those YouTube

1573
00:55:46,994 --> 00:55:47,494
videos,

1574
00:55:47,954 --> 00:55:49,474
they found chariot wheels at the bottom of

1575
00:55:49,474 --> 00:55:51,474
the Red Sea. Absolutely. Absolutely. I found that

1576
00:55:51,474 --> 00:55:53,394
beach, that Yeah. Landing area. Yeah. And and

1577
00:55:53,394 --> 00:55:54,929
it may be a little shallower out there,

1578
00:55:55,010 --> 00:55:56,690
but it will drown you. It will drown

1579
00:55:56,690 --> 00:55:59,010
you. Yeah. It will. And, million people ain't

1580
00:55:59,010 --> 00:56:00,849
going across right there without it being folded

1581
00:56:00,849 --> 00:56:02,690
back. That's right. They found all kinds of

1582
00:56:02,690 --> 00:56:04,309
stuff down there, man. Yeah. Yeah.

1583
00:56:05,250 --> 00:56:06,630
Yeah. It's it's Ridiculous.

1584
00:56:07,250 --> 00:56:10,125
Ridiculous. They do. It's like, well, god's god,

1585
00:56:10,125 --> 00:56:12,445
but he's not god. They these are these

1586
00:56:12,445 --> 00:56:14,445
are people who are supposed to be Christian

1587
00:56:14,445 --> 00:56:14,945
people,

1588
00:56:15,324 --> 00:56:17,565
religious people, you know, and and and want

1589
00:56:17,565 --> 00:56:19,885
to explain away these things. I I just

1590
00:56:20,045 --> 00:56:22,045
I can't understand it. I I honestly don't.

1591
00:56:22,045 --> 00:56:25,269
Listen. Oxymoron like an atheist Christian. How can

1592
00:56:25,269 --> 00:56:27,510
how can this is this is how we've

1593
00:56:27,510 --> 00:56:29,530
got to the place where where,

1594
00:56:30,630 --> 00:56:32,309
well, well, we're not going to a place.

1595
00:56:32,309 --> 00:56:33,989
We're not gonna be raptured out of here.

1596
00:56:33,989 --> 00:56:36,150
We're not going to another place. We're gonna

1597
00:56:36,150 --> 00:56:37,210
make heaven here.

1598
00:56:38,364 --> 00:56:40,045
The reason we've You don't want us to

1599
00:56:40,045 --> 00:56:40,785
be here. No. And

1600
00:56:41,805 --> 00:56:43,805
the reason we've we've got to that place

1601
00:56:43,805 --> 00:56:45,885
is because we've explained away all these miracles

1602
00:56:45,885 --> 00:56:47,485
to the point of people are going, oh,

1603
00:56:47,485 --> 00:56:49,325
okay. Well, you know, yeah, there's gotta be

1604
00:56:49,325 --> 00:56:52,239
an explanation for everything. And so maybe we're

1605
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,559
not going anywhere because because you how could

1606
00:56:54,559 --> 00:56:56,559
you believe that if you if you do

1607
00:56:56,559 --> 00:56:58,480
believe that he drowned the Egyptian army in

1608
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,500
the Red Sea, if you do believe that

1609
00:57:00,559 --> 00:57:02,400
Daniel went up in a whirlwind, if you

1610
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:03,255
do believe that,

1611
00:57:04,214 --> 00:57:06,614
that that, that people were raised from the

1612
00:57:06,614 --> 00:57:08,775
dead, that water was turned into wine, that

1613
00:57:08,775 --> 00:57:10,295
that the that the dumb was made to

1614
00:57:10,295 --> 00:57:12,454
speak and the blind made to see, if

1615
00:57:12,454 --> 00:57:15,194
you really believe these things, if your heart,

1616
00:57:15,349 --> 00:57:17,429
if your if your Christian heart is is

1617
00:57:17,429 --> 00:57:19,590
is wrapped in that and and intertwined in

1618
00:57:19,590 --> 00:57:21,429
the word of God, then how can you

1619
00:57:21,429 --> 00:57:23,349
not believe that God's gonna take us to

1620
00:57:23,349 --> 00:57:25,750
a better place? Amen. We're getting out of

1621
00:57:25,750 --> 00:57:27,590
here, brother. We're getting out of here. Amen.

1622
00:57:27,590 --> 00:57:29,510
And and until he makes this whole thing,

1623
00:57:29,510 --> 00:57:31,485
till we come back with him and and

1624
00:57:31,485 --> 00:57:33,805
destroy this whole thing for that thousand years.

1625
00:57:33,805 --> 00:57:35,965
And then after that, he's gonna make everything's

1626
00:57:35,965 --> 00:57:37,505
gonna be made new. Yeah.

1627
00:57:38,204 --> 00:57:39,965
Then what then we don't mind coming back.

1628
00:57:39,965 --> 00:57:42,285
We're gonna be I think that we'll we'll

1629
00:57:42,285 --> 00:57:43,885
get to that when we get into revelations,

1630
00:57:43,885 --> 00:57:45,885
but it it's gonna be amazing what we're

1631
00:57:45,885 --> 00:57:47,619
gonna be able to do. Amen. Our our

1632
00:57:47,619 --> 00:57:49,059
home is gonna be in the place that

1633
00:57:49,059 --> 00:57:51,140
he made us. Right? Amen. In Jerusalem. Where

1634
00:57:51,219 --> 00:57:53,559
that's where we will live for eternity. But

1635
00:57:53,780 --> 00:57:55,380
but I believe we'll be able to go

1636
00:57:55,380 --> 00:57:57,380
wherever God is. Right? I mean, there'll be

1637
00:57:57,380 --> 00:57:59,235
there'll be there'll be those here on earth.

1638
00:57:59,235 --> 00:58:00,914
I mean, we're gonna have a, we're gonna

1639
00:58:00,914 --> 00:58:02,114
have a body will say, hey. I wanna

1640
00:58:02,114 --> 00:58:04,114
I wanna be over here and then boom.

1641
00:58:04,114 --> 00:58:05,555
I'm over there. You know? I wanna be

1642
00:58:05,555 --> 00:58:07,715
down there. Okay. I'm down there. Yeah. It's

1643
00:58:07,715 --> 00:58:09,255
it's amazing. The

1644
00:58:09,954 --> 00:58:12,835
time, space, matter, none of those things are

1645
00:58:12,835 --> 00:58:15,469
gonna matter. Right? Yeah. And he he's master

1646
00:58:15,469 --> 00:58:17,069
of them all. He's creator of them all.

1647
00:58:17,069 --> 00:58:18,829
Right? Yeah. Yeah. And it to me, it

1648
00:58:18,829 --> 00:58:19,969
all comes down to

1649
00:58:20,349 --> 00:58:22,829
Jesus' question to to his disciples. Who do

1650
00:58:22,829 --> 00:58:24,589
you say that I am? Yeah. Amen. Who

1651
00:58:24,589 --> 00:58:26,109
do you say that I am? Amen. Right?

1652
00:58:26,109 --> 00:58:27,735
And that's the question of the ages. Yeah.

1653
00:58:27,815 --> 00:58:29,575
If if you answer that wrong, you're you

1654
00:58:29,575 --> 00:58:31,494
you messed up. That's right. You messed up.

1655
00:58:31,494 --> 00:58:33,655
Your gods may be science. Yes. Your god

1656
00:58:33,655 --> 00:58:35,655
may be some other thing or yourself. Yeah.

1657
00:58:35,655 --> 00:58:37,255
But, buddy, you better put your trust in

1658
00:58:37,255 --> 00:58:39,175
Jesus. That's right. Because he's the creator. All

1659
00:58:39,175 --> 00:58:41,595
things are created by him and for him

1660
00:58:41,735 --> 00:58:43,710
and the through him. All things have been

1661
00:58:43,710 --> 00:58:45,170
made. Yeah. Ever everything.

1662
00:58:45,469 --> 00:58:45,969
Everything.

1663
00:58:46,989 --> 00:58:49,070
Man, man, I I just I don't get

1664
00:58:49,070 --> 00:58:49,969

00:58:52,269 --> 00:58:55,230
ministers or bishops or pastors or whatever they

1667
00:58:55,230 --> 00:58:55,969
call themselves

1668
00:58:56,269 --> 00:58:58,484
that just deny all this stuff. No. I

1669
00:58:58,484 --> 00:59:00,164
don't need that. I don't need anything. If

1670
00:59:00,164 --> 00:59:01,844
if Jesus I I found a meme on

1671
00:59:01,844 --> 00:59:04,164
Facebook and put reposted it today or yesterday

1672
00:59:04,164 --> 00:59:04,904
and it says,

1673
00:59:05,204 --> 00:59:07,364
if Jesus has the power to forgive sins,

1674
00:59:07,364 --> 00:59:08,585
who does that make him?

1675
00:59:08,885 --> 00:59:11,204
Yeah. It makes him God. Makes him God.

1676
00:59:11,204 --> 00:59:13,650
Yeah. Yeah. He's God the son. He is.

1677
00:59:13,650 --> 00:59:15,730
He's God. He was God in human form,

1678
00:59:15,730 --> 00:59:17,250
wasn't he? And it's why they killed him.

1679
00:59:17,250 --> 00:59:18,630
Amen. From blasphemy,

1680
00:59:18,929 --> 00:59:21,269
proclaiming to be God. Yeah. Yeah.

1681
00:59:22,130 --> 00:59:24,869
Amen. Believe. Amen. Just believe. Yeah.

1682
00:59:25,764 --> 00:59:26,425
Amen. Yeah.

1683
00:59:26,965 --> 00:59:29,284
Well, chapter 12 goes on at just a

1684
00:59:29,284 --> 00:59:31,764
short ways longer and and, of course, Jesus

1685
00:59:31,764 --> 00:59:33,764
shows up again and Yes. You know? And

1686
00:59:33,764 --> 00:59:35,065
it's it's just awesome.

1687
00:59:35,925 --> 00:59:36,425
It's,

1688
00:59:37,364 --> 00:59:39,125
at at verse one, now at that time,

1689
00:59:39,125 --> 00:59:41,099
Michael, the great prince who stands guard over

1690
00:59:41,099 --> 00:59:42,860
the sons of your people will arise and

1691
00:59:42,860 --> 00:59:44,400
there will be a time of distress

1692
00:59:45,019 --> 00:59:47,099
such as never occurred since there was a

1693
00:59:47,099 --> 00:59:49,099
nation until that time and at that time

1694
00:59:49,099 --> 00:59:51,820
your people, everyone who is found written in

1695
00:59:51,820 --> 00:59:52,480
the book

1696
00:59:52,780 --> 00:59:54,619
will be rescued in the book of life.

1697
00:59:54,619 --> 00:59:56,574
Amen. We talked about that. That's right. That's

1698
00:59:56,574 --> 00:59:59,215
right. Yeah. Yeah. So and he goes further

1699
00:59:59,215 --> 01:00:00,035
further down,

1700
01:00:01,855 --> 01:00:02,355
verse

1701
01:00:02,655 --> 01:00:04,735
verse seven. I heard the man dressed in

1702
01:00:04,735 --> 01:00:06,655
linen who was above the waters of the

1703
01:00:06,655 --> 01:00:08,894
river as he raised his right hand and

1704
01:00:08,894 --> 01:00:10,894
his left toward heaven and swore by him

1705
01:00:10,894 --> 01:00:12,739
who lives forever that it would be for

1706
01:00:12,739 --> 01:00:13,480
a time,

1707
01:00:13,780 --> 01:00:16,019
times, and half a time. Mhmm. We'll see

1708
01:00:16,019 --> 01:00:17,539
that a lot in here too. Right? That's

1709
01:00:17,539 --> 01:00:19,619
right. That's a year, two years, and a

1710
01:00:19,619 --> 01:00:20,926
half a year. That's right. It's three and

1711
01:00:20,926 --> 01:00:21,480
a half years.

1712
01:00:22,019 --> 01:00:23,480
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

1713
01:00:24,594 --> 01:00:26,755
So this this stuff all ties together. And

1714
01:00:26,755 --> 01:00:28,515
I think I think this stuff just really

1715
01:00:28,515 --> 01:00:30,914
opens up Revelation to to to and it

1716
01:00:30,914 --> 01:00:32,994
gives a lot of background for it. And

1717
01:00:32,994 --> 01:00:34,195
and I just wanted to go over this

1718
01:00:34,195 --> 01:00:35,735
stuff to just to say that

1719
01:00:36,355 --> 01:00:38,789
that that just to say that really because

1720
01:00:39,030 --> 01:00:40,150
I I don't think we can get a

1721
01:00:40,150 --> 01:00:41,989
proper understanding of a lot of the details

1722
01:00:41,989 --> 01:00:43,910
of Revelation. Absolutely. Because this is the overview

1723
01:00:43,910 --> 01:00:45,989
and then Revelation is the details. I see.

1724
01:00:45,989 --> 01:00:47,530
It is. It is. And and

1725
01:00:47,910 --> 01:00:49,829
what what was hidden has been made known

1726
01:00:49,829 --> 01:00:51,510
now. Right? He's revealed it to us. And

1727
01:00:51,510 --> 01:00:52,969
that's what the revelation is.

1728
01:00:53,694 --> 01:00:56,214
It is the revealing of Jesus Yeah. And

1729
01:00:56,214 --> 01:00:58,275
of all that he is, all his power,

1730
01:00:58,574 --> 01:00:59,474
all his glory,

1731
01:00:59,775 --> 01:01:01,775
no more baby in a manger. That's right.

1732
01:01:01,775 --> 01:01:03,234
No more no more

1733
01:01:03,534 --> 01:01:06,909
lamb, little No. Helpless lamb. No. King of

1734
01:01:06,909 --> 01:01:08,750
kings and lord of lords. That's who he

1735
01:01:08,750 --> 01:01:11,230
is and he will fulfill himself. And I

1736
01:01:11,230 --> 01:01:12,829
will tell you right now, if you do

1737
01:01:12,829 --> 01:01:14,909
not know him, get to know him. Amen.

1738
01:01:14,909 --> 01:01:17,250
Let the holy spirit penetrate your heart

1739
01:01:17,550 --> 01:01:20,085
right now as we as you listen to

1740
01:01:20,085 --> 01:01:22,164
our voices and you hear this, let the

1741
01:01:22,164 --> 01:01:24,905
holy spirit penetrate your heart and change you

1742
01:01:25,125 --> 01:01:27,284
and and make you new again so that

1743
01:01:27,364 --> 01:01:29,464
so that the things that we read about

1744
01:01:29,525 --> 01:01:31,224
and the things that are to come,

1745
01:01:31,605 --> 01:01:32,964
you won't have to go through them. You

1746
01:01:32,964 --> 01:01:35,070
won't have to face them, but you can

1747
01:01:35,070 --> 01:01:36,989
be saved to the uttermost. You could be

1748
01:01:36,989 --> 01:01:38,829
a child of the king. I love what

1749
01:01:38,829 --> 01:01:41,090
I love what, chapter 12 says.

1750
01:01:41,630 --> 01:01:43,090
I think it it in verse,

1751
01:01:43,869 --> 01:01:45,789
verse number four, you may have already already

1752
01:01:45,789 --> 01:01:47,565
read that. No. I didn't know. You see,

1753
01:01:49,356 --> 01:01:50,764
and and verse three says, and they they

1754
01:01:50,764 --> 01:01:53,585
that be wise shall shine as the brightness

1755
01:01:53,644 --> 01:01:55,804
of the firmament, and they that turn many

1756
01:01:55,804 --> 01:01:57,964
to righteousness are as the stars forever and

1757
01:01:57,964 --> 01:02:00,525
ever. But thou, oh, Daniel, shut up thy

1758
01:02:00,525 --> 01:02:02,364
words and seal the book even to the

1759
01:02:02,364 --> 01:02:04,789
time of the end. Many shall run to

1760
01:02:04,789 --> 01:02:07,429
and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Yeah.

1761
01:02:07,429 --> 01:02:09,269
Yeah. So Well, we see that, don't we?

1762
01:02:09,269 --> 01:02:11,510
We do. Yeah. Yeah. We do. Shine like

1763
01:02:11,510 --> 01:02:13,269
the stars of the heaven one day, but

1764
01:02:13,269 --> 01:02:15,429
but, man, the knowledge increase is is is

1765
01:02:15,429 --> 01:02:17,744
dramatic. Crazy. I mean, it went from,

1766
01:02:18,625 --> 01:02:20,625
the first computer to when was the first

1767
01:02:20,625 --> 01:02:23,825
computer built? Sixties. Yeah. Well, the first one

1768
01:02:23,825 --> 01:02:25,105
was actually all the way back in the

1769
01:02:25,105 --> 01:02:27,664
forties, but Yeah. I mean, it was Yeah.

1770
01:02:27,825 --> 01:02:29,184
I mean, that was because that's how they

1771
01:02:29,184 --> 01:02:31,025
cracked Enigma in the world war two. So

1772
01:02:31,025 --> 01:02:32,644
the first computer was in the forties,

1773
01:02:33,019 --> 01:02:34,460
but it still took up you know, it's

1774
01:02:34,460 --> 01:02:36,699
a city block. Yeah. Yeah. So and and

1775
01:02:36,699 --> 01:02:38,699
look at where we are today. We're trouble

1776
01:02:38,699 --> 01:02:40,859
that. Yeah. We're holding all that information I

1777
01:02:40,859 --> 01:02:41,339
have.

1778
01:02:41,820 --> 01:02:43,820
Again. Yeah. I mean, we can drive down

1779
01:02:43,820 --> 01:02:45,260
the road and hook it to our car

1780
01:02:45,260 --> 01:02:47,505
and, you know, our car can drive you

1781
01:02:47,505 --> 01:02:49,445
anywhere you wanna go. You know? I mean,

1782
01:02:49,505 --> 01:02:51,984
that technology is here. We're we're living in

1783
01:02:51,984 --> 01:02:53,984
the jet scenario. You know what I mean?

1784
01:02:53,984 --> 01:02:56,464
Really? We all Amen. Hey. There's this there's

1785
01:02:56,464 --> 01:02:58,710
this thing, a stat about knowledge doubling. I

1786
01:02:58,789 --> 01:02:59,909
don't know how they keep up with this

1787
01:02:59,909 --> 01:03:01,510
stuff, but but it used to be like

1788
01:03:01,510 --> 01:03:03,829
knowledge would double. Human knowledge would double like

1789
01:03:03,829 --> 01:03:06,309
like every few years Mhmm. Or something like

1790
01:03:06,309 --> 01:03:07,589
that. And I think it's down to like

1791
01:03:07,589 --> 01:03:10,389
weeks now. Yeah. It's just like Yeah. Because

1792
01:03:10,389 --> 01:03:12,730
of the information that we have, it's just

1793
01:03:13,055 --> 01:03:15,375
so vast now. And And with AI coming

1794
01:03:15,375 --> 01:03:17,535
on and and maybe and maybe what what

1795
01:03:17,535 --> 01:03:19,614
are these what are these new computers? I'm

1796
01:03:19,614 --> 01:03:21,055
I'm 60 now. I can't I can't think

1797
01:03:21,055 --> 01:03:21,875
of this stuff.

1798
01:03:22,815 --> 01:03:24,750
The the new new computer of Quantum.

1799
01:03:25,230 --> 01:03:27,630
Quantum. Yes. Computers, the high high processing speeds

1800
01:03:27,630 --> 01:03:29,710
and power. Yeah. I mean, this stuff and

1801
01:03:29,710 --> 01:03:31,389
and all this stuff we'll see too in

1802
01:03:31,389 --> 01:03:33,949
Revelation 13 is feeding right into that, man.

1803
01:03:33,949 --> 01:03:35,710
Yeah. It's right at the door. It's here.

1804
01:03:35,710 --> 01:03:37,469
Ain't it crazy? I mean, we've went from

1805
01:03:37,469 --> 01:03:40,210
from megabytes to to gigabytes to

1806
01:03:40,514 --> 01:03:42,674
terabytes to I mean, it just boom. But

1807
01:03:42,674 --> 01:03:44,594
the information that you can hold in just

1808
01:03:44,594 --> 01:03:45,174
a little,

1809
01:03:45,875 --> 01:03:48,434
zip drive or whatever, you know, or Yes.

1810
01:03:48,434 --> 01:03:49,714
And now with now with that, yeah, you

1811
01:03:49,714 --> 01:03:51,954
just ask ask your phone. They what how

1812
01:03:51,954 --> 01:03:53,234
do I do this or that? Up in

1813
01:03:53,234 --> 01:03:55,440
seconds. Right? Yeah. I mean, they'll write songs

1814
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,079
in seconds and Yeah. All these different things.

1815
01:03:58,079 --> 01:03:59,380
Crazy. Yeah. Yeah.

1816
01:03:59,679 --> 01:04:01,199
Yeah. Man, I I but it this stuff

1817
01:04:01,199 --> 01:04:03,280
is it's here. And I I can't stress

1818
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,839
that enough that that this stuff is right

1819
01:04:05,839 --> 01:04:07,039
at the door. You know, I always I

1820
01:04:07,039 --> 01:04:08,880
always use the weather analogy. You know, we

1821
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:10,480
we know when it's about to rain. That's

1822
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:12,934
right. And and it's here. It is. All

1823
01:04:12,934 --> 01:04:14,135
this stuff is here. It's right at the

1824
01:04:14,135 --> 01:04:16,394
door. It is. Amen. Amen.

1825
01:04:18,295 --> 01:04:20,215
Alright. Well, I think that brings us to

1826
01:04:20,215 --> 01:04:22,155
the end of, this week.

1827
01:04:23,710 --> 01:04:26,190
So we will, we will wrap up there

1828
01:04:26,190 --> 01:04:26,690
and

1829
01:04:26,989 --> 01:04:28,110
goodness, that is a

1830
01:04:28,670 --> 01:04:30,449
yeah. Not a deep dive, but

1831
01:04:30,750 --> 01:04:32,510
it's amazing how deep it goes just trying

1832
01:04:32,510 --> 01:04:34,590
to be shallow. I know. I know. It's

1833
01:04:34,590 --> 01:04:36,269
hard not to. It's hard not to dive

1834
01:04:36,269 --> 01:04:38,464
in. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's it's one

1835
01:04:38,464 --> 01:04:39,664
of those things, you know, when we we

1836
01:04:39,664 --> 01:04:41,344
joke we we say that kinda tongue in

1837
01:04:41,344 --> 01:04:42,945
cheek there, you know, that we're avoiding doing

1838
01:04:42,945 --> 01:04:44,465
a deep dive, but it's really hard to

1839
01:04:44,465 --> 01:04:45,364
avoid that

1840
01:04:45,664 --> 01:04:47,985
because of just how deep Daniel goes and

1841
01:04:47,985 --> 01:04:49,905
just how deep these things leading up to

1842
01:04:49,905 --> 01:04:52,199
revelation. And you don't leave anything out that

1843
01:04:52,199 --> 01:04:54,119
that will Right. You know, connect the dots

1844
01:04:54,119 --> 01:04:55,559
for everybody. Yep. And that's why we're gonna

1845
01:04:55,559 --> 01:04:57,800
go into Matthew 24 next week and probably

1846
01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:59,420
cover twenty four twenty five,

1847
01:04:59,960 --> 01:05:02,119
for the most part anyway and and kinda

1848
01:05:02,119 --> 01:05:03,639
get into that. So yeah. So join us

1849
01:05:03,639 --> 01:05:05,639
next week for Matthew 24, and we'll do

1850
01:05:05,639 --> 01:05:07,125
twenty four twenty five. We'll do some of

1851
01:05:07,125 --> 01:05:09,445
that going into Revelation before we get into

1852
01:05:09,445 --> 01:05:10,265
chapter four,

1853
01:05:10,885 --> 01:05:12,724
because, again, you know, that that is where

1854
01:05:12,724 --> 01:05:14,885
we start getting to see what's coming and

1855
01:05:14,885 --> 01:05:16,804
what's going to happen to those that are

1856
01:05:16,804 --> 01:05:18,505
left. Yeah. And,

1857
01:05:19,525 --> 01:05:21,339
you really need context for that. You just

1858
01:05:21,460 --> 01:05:24,199
you gotta have the context. Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely.

1859
01:05:24,260 --> 01:05:26,119
I agree. So alright. Well,

1860
01:05:27,860 --> 01:05:29,619
brother Brian, if you will,

1861
01:05:30,340 --> 01:05:32,900
say a prayer tonight and dismiss us. And

1862
01:05:32,900 --> 01:05:34,739
we thank everybody for joining us, and we

1863
01:05:34,739 --> 01:05:36,735
really hope you'll join us again next week

1864
01:05:37,295 --> 01:05:39,295
as we dive deeper into this and get

1865
01:05:39,295 --> 01:05:41,155
ready to start diving in chapter four.

1866
01:05:41,855 --> 01:05:43,775
Lord, we thank you, for all that you

1867
01:05:43,775 --> 01:05:45,715
do. We thank you for this time together.

1868
01:05:45,934 --> 01:05:47,535
I thank you for these men and the

1869
01:05:47,535 --> 01:05:49,535
time that they take away from their families

1870
01:05:49,535 --> 01:05:49,920
and

1871
01:05:50,719 --> 01:05:52,639
God, just, just to come in and break

1872
01:05:52,639 --> 01:05:54,480
your word, break the bread of life, lord

1873
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,920
god, open and and and, lord, just to

1874
01:05:57,920 --> 01:05:59,280
to break it down in a way that,

1875
01:05:59,519 --> 01:06:01,380
that we all might understand it.

1876
01:06:02,079 --> 01:06:03,920
Lord, that we all might grow from it,

1877
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:04,815
that we all might,

1878
01:06:05,694 --> 01:06:07,694
just gain the wisdom and knowledge, not of

1879
01:06:07,694 --> 01:06:08,994
this world, but of god.

1880
01:06:09,534 --> 01:06:11,295
Lord, so that we might be prepared and

1881
01:06:11,295 --> 01:06:12,574
so that most of all, so that we

1882
01:06:12,574 --> 01:06:14,734
may might go out and evangelize, that we

1883
01:06:14,734 --> 01:06:16,734
might tell the world about this precious Jesus

1884
01:06:16,734 --> 01:06:18,690
who died on a cross to save us

1885
01:06:18,690 --> 01:06:20,309
from our sins, that God

1886
01:06:20,690 --> 01:06:21,750
left heaven,

1887
01:06:22,130 --> 01:06:23,109
became a baby,

1888
01:06:23,489 --> 01:06:25,889
lived and died, paid the price for the

1889
01:06:25,889 --> 01:06:28,130
sins that we couldn't pay, and, lord, has

1890
01:06:28,130 --> 01:06:30,449
prepared us a place in heaven right now.

1891
01:06:30,449 --> 01:06:32,785
Thank you for that. Bless this time. Bless

1892
01:06:32,785 --> 01:06:35,265
our church. Bless bless your people. And, Lord,

1893
01:06:35,265 --> 01:06:37,684
we ask this in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen.

1894
01:06:39,265 --> 01:06:41,204
Special thank you to Carter Pridmore,

1895
01:06:41,585 --> 01:06:43,605
Brian Harris, Waverly Henderson,

1896
01:06:44,065 --> 01:06:46,244
Tatum Harris Spears, and Josie

1897
01:06:46,779 --> 01:06:49,119
for our theme song, truth set me free.

1898
01:06:49,420 --> 01:06:51,839
I've been Tyler Goza on production and audio.

1899
01:06:52,219 --> 01:06:54,219
We hope you can join us live next

1900
01:06:54,219 --> 01:06:55,920
Monday at 6PM central.

1901
01:06:56,219 --> 01:06:58,965
Thank you for listening. But truth found me

1902
01:06:58,965 --> 01:06:59,465
there.

1903
01:07:00,325 --> 01:07:03,605
It was in my darkest hour. I traded

1904
01:07:03,605 --> 01:07:06,744
my black heart for joy, for something real,

1905
01:07:06,885 --> 01:07:07,385
something

1906
01:07:07,684 --> 01:07:08,345
with power.

1907
01:07:10,325 --> 01:07:10,559
True

1908
01:07:22,574 --> 01:07:23,074
Oh,

1909
01:07:24,094 --> 01:07:24,594
oh.

1910
01:07:25,295 --> 01:07:25,795
Truth

1911
01:07:26,175 --> 01:07:27,714
set me free.

1912
01:07:28,574 --> 01:07:29,074
Oh,

1913
01:07:30,014 --> 01:07:30,514
oh.

1914
01:07:31,695 --> 01:07:33,714
Truth set me free.
