Man, good to be back.

3
00:01:16,460 --> 00:01:18,640
Me sitting in here without a hat for a change.

4
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,120
I look like I got a billboard here on my head.

5
00:01:22,140 --> 00:01:24,200
Normally cut that thing in half of my little cap.

8
00:01:36,780 --> 00:01:40,000

11
00:01:52,180 --> 00:01:59,860
of the works of Dr. King. He was a good man. Not a perfect man, but a good man. And he did a lot

Yeah, well, Diane was off, so, you know, we just hung out.

20
00:02:50,140 --> 00:02:50,320
Yeah.

21
00:02:50,620 --> 00:02:51,080
It's a good day.

22
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,040
That's good.

23
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:52,940
That's always good.

24
00:02:53,220 --> 00:02:53,280
Yeah.

25
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:53,820
Oh, yeah.

26
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:54,220
Yeah.

27
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:57,520
She gets off for the federal holidays.

28
00:02:57,910 --> 00:03:00,080
You know, they get a number of days and everything.

29
00:03:00,260 --> 00:03:01,060
Everything, yeah.

30
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,480
And how about the hunter over here?

31
00:03:03,580 --> 00:03:04,620
How's Brother Brian doing tonight?

32
00:03:04,740 --> 00:03:05,300
He's doing great.

33
00:03:05,820 --> 00:03:06,580
He's doing good.

34
00:03:06,940 --> 00:03:07,040
Yeah.

35
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,320
I was off today also.

36
00:03:09,540 --> 00:03:10,500
My wife was off.

37
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:15,580
My oldest daughter was off, so she brought the grandbaby over, so it was a good day.

38
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:16,180
We hung out.

39
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:16,640
Awesome.

40
00:03:17,140 --> 00:03:17,540
Yeah.

41
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,340
Oh, that's fantastic.

42
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,400
She's not too far from walking, is she?

43
00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:22,180
No, no.

44
00:03:22,180 --> 00:03:22,940
She's right there.

45
00:03:23,220 --> 00:03:23,860
She's right there.

46
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:24,100
Yeah.

47
00:03:25,020 --> 00:03:29,480
Pulling up some, and she's standing up a little bit, as long as she's holding on to something.

48
00:03:29,780 --> 00:03:29,880
Uh-huh.

49
00:03:30,260 --> 00:03:34,360
Yeah, I think about another month or so, she'll be walking.

50
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:35,060
Oh, man.

51
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,240
Lock the doors, the cabinet doors.

52
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,400
We got this little, we got this little Walker.

53
00:03:42,730 --> 00:03:44,520
I couldn't know the name left me for a minute.

54
00:03:44,620 --> 00:03:45,580
Little Walker at the house.

55
00:03:45,690 --> 00:03:46,640
It looks like a Bronco.

56
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:49,860
Brenna had actually bought it for her for Christmas,

57
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,440
and she's kept it at the house to use.

58
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,880
And she goes crazy in that thing.

59
00:03:55,980 --> 00:03:57,220
I mean, she's all over the place.

60
00:03:57,390 --> 00:03:59,520
You know, she's flying in it.

61
00:03:59,870 --> 00:04:02,600
But she's also, she likes to get into cabinets.

62
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,200
She'll get over there and start trying to open cabinet doors,

63
00:04:05,590 --> 00:04:06,300
that kind of thing.

64
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:06,780
So, yeah.

65
00:04:06,980 --> 00:04:11,340
Yeah, so you're coming quick to having to do a little bit of baby proofing

66
00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:15,340
and making sure you don't have anything in the cabinets you can get to.

67
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,260
Yeah, I'll be honest.

68
00:04:18,459 --> 00:04:21,519
It was funny because back when my kids were little, I put all that stuff up,

69
00:04:21,609 --> 00:04:25,860
and everybody always talks about, man, I loved it when my kids got big enough

70
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,460
that I didn't have to worry about it and took all that down.

71
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,240
I'm like, took it down?

72
00:04:29,060 --> 00:04:30,140
Keeps me out of stuff.

73
00:04:31,580 --> 00:04:32,920
I'm a little baby drool.

74
00:04:33,180 --> 00:04:33,600
That's right.

75
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:34,820
It makes me have to think about it.

76
00:04:34,940 --> 00:04:37,560
Do I really want to fight with that thing before open that cabinet?

77
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,860
I'm not walking in a little Debbie in your horse.

78
00:04:41,380 --> 00:04:41,600
I don't know.

79
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,300
I don't have a chance on her getting in there.

80
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,120
Oh, man.

81
00:04:47,310 --> 00:04:53,060
Well, this weekend I got to Friday night, I got to take the kids to watch a movie,

82
00:04:53,570 --> 00:04:54,900
and I don't get to do that with them very often.

83
00:04:54,910 --> 00:04:57,580
We went and watched David, Angel Studios.

84
00:04:57,930 --> 00:04:59,460
It came out back in December, apparently.

85
00:04:59,470 --> 00:05:00,560
It's been out for almost a month,

86
00:05:00,590 --> 00:05:02,660
so it's probably not going to be in the theaters a whole lot longer.

87
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,620
But if you haven't had a chance to go watch it, it's animated.

88
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,840
It's a musical, which I think is very appropriate for David.

89
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:13,940
But, oh, man, it literally, it is 1 Samuel.

90
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:17,760
It is from the anointing of David in 1 Samuel all the way to the end of the book,

91
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:18,880
and it just follows right along.

92
00:05:19,220 --> 00:05:20,940
It doesn't get into David's wives,

93
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,340
and it leaves off the story of the witch of Endor and stuff like that

94
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,080
and some of the really nasty stuff that Saul did.

95
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:30,600
But outside of that, I mean, you can literally go down through there,

96
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,580
And every few scenes you can look, and the scene matches up with the title of a chapter.

97
00:05:36,220 --> 00:05:38,440
Yeah, I had to say done really well with that.

98
00:05:38,470 --> 00:05:40,680
I hadn't had an opportunity to watch it.

99
00:05:41,060 --> 00:05:43,980
Man, and what was so great about it, well, I'm sitting there in the theater, right,

100
00:05:44,140 --> 00:05:45,980
and there's almost nobody else in the theater.

101
00:05:46,010 --> 00:05:47,880
There were like, I think two other families came in.

102
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,420
One more came in right as the movie was starting.

103
00:05:51,540 --> 00:05:53,660
So there may have been three families in there watching it,

104
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,760
and it gets to the David and Goliath scene, and David's out there.

105
00:05:56,820 --> 00:05:59,380
You know, he's getting his stones out of the river, and I hear my son.

106
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,820
I think, you know, my kid half the time, I think he's not paying a lick of attention to me.

107
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,760
And I hear him in the seat next to me go, five smooth stones.

108
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,720
And I went, you've got to be kidding me.

109
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:11,440
Just came out of nowhere.

110
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,060
He's like, oh yeah, he's getting his five smooth stones.

111
00:06:13,220 --> 00:06:15,280
And I'm like, you remember that?

112
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:16,100
Goodness.

113
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,700
So that was, that was a nice, nice little shock there.

114
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,920
But yeah, I highly recommend that one.

115
00:06:22,020 --> 00:06:23,200
Have to brag on that a little bit.

116
00:06:23,260 --> 00:06:26,420
Cause it's not often I get to see something that I can brag on like that in the theaters.

117
00:06:26,620 --> 00:06:27,680
And boy, it was good.

118
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,740
yeah that's something that kind of bothers me about a lot of the productions about jesus life

119
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:37,320
you know it's like they could make this stuff a lot more literal and old to the bible a lot better

120
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,580
yeah and they just don't for whatever reason they just take this artistic license and run with

121
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,820
weird stuff and yeah and even though even the ones that start off really really that's why i was

122
00:06:47,860 --> 00:06:51,480
fixing to say sometimes they'll start off great and you think oh this is gonna be so good and then

123
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:57,300
throw some kind of curveball in there it's like that didn't happen where did that come from how

124
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,080
How did they put that in there?

125
00:06:59,500 --> 00:07:01,300
I was a little nervous.

126
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,580
I went and actually checked the Focus on the Family's review of it

127
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,840
when I found out the kids were going to be home this weekend,

128
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,780
snow and ice and stuff over in the other direction.

129
00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:13,900
So I found out they weren't going anywhere,

130
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,700
and I was like, oh, I need to find something for us to do.

131
00:07:16,380 --> 00:07:18,980
And so I go and Focus on the Family's plugged-in website,

132
00:07:19,220 --> 00:07:20,420
and they gave the review and everything.

133
00:07:20,540 --> 00:07:22,380
And it was interesting because the very first line was,

134
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,860
this is a fairly accurate retelling of the story of David.

135
00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:26,520
And I'm like, wow, really?

136
00:07:26,820 --> 00:07:30,600
Nobody does an accurate retelling of it because some of that stuff's a little bit crazy sounding.

137
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:31,060
Yeah.

138
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:32,940
Let it be.

139
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:33,700
You know, it's so weird.

140
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:34,840
And they did.

141
00:07:35,060 --> 00:07:37,500
I mean, it was spot on.

142
00:07:37,900 --> 00:07:41,560
And even stories I told mom and dad, even some stories I'd forgotten about,

143
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:48,820
David going off right before Saul and Jonathan die in a battle with the Philistines.

144
00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:53,260
And they didn't show the part where David actually teamed up with the Philistines.

145
00:07:53,260 --> 00:07:54,180
He was actually on their side.

146
00:07:54,420 --> 00:07:56,620
I had to go back, and I was rereading it this weekend.

147
00:07:56,740 --> 00:07:57,820
And I'm like, oh, yeah, I forgot.

148
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,880
He actually had a whole thing with the king of the Philistines where they were actually good friends.

149
00:08:03,220 --> 00:08:09,820
I mean, they became friends for a bit there where David and him got along really well, even after the whole thing with the Goliath.

150
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,760
And he was just like, oh, yeah, you're a good guy, and I don't see any problem with you.

151
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,260
And, you know, Saul's the problem, and I'll gladly help you take him down.

152
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,460
And then right before they go into fight, he's like, you know what?

153
00:08:20,460 --> 00:08:22,740
You and your guys, I really don't want y'all at my back.

154
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:24,560
Yeah.

155
00:08:25,259 --> 00:08:26,420
And he kicks them out.

156
00:08:26,940 --> 00:08:32,440
And then all the folks that were following David get abducted by these Amicalites.

157
00:08:33,659 --> 00:08:36,320
And I had completely forgotten about this story.

158
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,120
David comes back.

159
00:08:38,539 --> 00:08:42,840
This battle's going on over here with Saul and his army and the Philistines.

160
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,740
And then David and all of his followers, all the able-bodied men went with him.

161
00:08:48,340 --> 00:08:50,940
And when they come back, the town is just in ruins.

162
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,800
And these Amicalites had come in and abducted everybody.

163
00:08:53,940 --> 00:08:54,620
They were slavers.

164
00:08:54,780 --> 00:08:57,140
They were just scavengers, and they took them off.

165
00:08:57,900 --> 00:09:01,120
And David heads off, and half of his soldiers are like,

166
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:03,520
we can't fight them.

167
00:09:03,580 --> 00:09:06,360
And he's like, God delivered me out of the hands of the bear,

168
00:09:06,380 --> 00:09:07,280
the lion, and Goliath.

169
00:09:07,340 --> 00:09:08,340
Why am I afraid?

170
00:09:09,500 --> 00:09:10,620
And off they go.

171
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:11,640
And I'm like, no.

172
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,060
And I'm watching it in the movie.

173
00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:14,120
I'm like, that didn't happen.

174
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:15,280
Yeah, it did.

175
00:09:15,540 --> 00:09:16,420
It actually did.

176
00:09:16,460 --> 00:09:18,300
He takes off with like 600 men.

177
00:09:18,620 --> 00:09:20,200
Half of them end up staying in the desert.

178
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:22,940
Another half of them drop off before they get there,

179
00:09:23,020 --> 00:09:29,120
and he ends up taking that whole army with like a hundred people and then comes back with the rest

180
00:09:29,140 --> 00:09:33,480
of their families and stuff and everybody's like what happened here and he's just like god's good

181
00:09:35,079 --> 00:09:40,220
so when i talk about david being like god's on heart man that was that is amazing to me to read

182
00:09:40,380 --> 00:09:45,240
that and see and see it played out on screen so i thought that was awesome so if you get a chance

183
00:09:45,260 --> 00:09:50,080
to see it in theaters go see it if you don't buy it when it comes out on dvd i'm hoping they do an

184
00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:55,660
actual DVD release instead of making you subscribe to their stuff to watch it because that's one that

185
00:09:55,820 --> 00:10:01,000
needs to have a little cash thrown at it and support it because it was good. Very, very good.

186
00:10:01,900 --> 00:10:08,380
All right. Well, here we are, Revelation chapter eight. And I think we might have some comments.

187
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:15,800
I'll make sure the chat's not going too hard tonight. So I'll let you guys get started here.

188
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:25,800
all right yeah so chapter eight uh we um we had this little pause um in uh chapter seven and and

189
00:10:25,830 --> 00:10:34,080
we see some um god taking care of some things uh taking care of sealing the 144 000 and um and and

190
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:40,760
just uh a little pause in the in the breaking of the seals there and uh and now in chapter eight

191
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,920
We're about to jump back into it pretty hard, right?

192
00:10:43,180 --> 00:10:43,740
Oh, big time.

193
00:10:43,900 --> 00:10:44,020
Yeah.

194
00:10:44,260 --> 00:10:44,560
Yeah.

195
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,300
This is the seventh seal.

196
00:10:47,020 --> 00:10:47,160
Yeah.

197
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:48,820
This is where it's going to get hairy.

198
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:49,640
Seventh seal.

199
00:10:49,690 --> 00:10:52,900
And this is where I think it gets a little confusing,

200
00:10:53,810 --> 00:10:58,080
is that the seventh seal contains seven trumpets and seven bowls.

201
00:10:58,220 --> 00:10:58,500
Yes.

202
00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:58,980
Yes.

203
00:11:00,220 --> 00:11:03,780
And the whole last trump thing gets, like we were talking about last week,

204
00:11:03,860 --> 00:11:04,800
gets a little bit confusing.

205
00:11:04,980 --> 00:11:05,100
Yeah.

206
00:11:05,190 --> 00:11:07,140
So the seventh seal is the finale.

207
00:11:07,460 --> 00:11:07,600
Yeah.

208
00:11:07,820 --> 00:11:10,120
But it contains seven trumpets.

209
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:10,560
That's right.

210
00:11:10,700 --> 00:11:16,960
That's right. So, yeah, so it's it's it's it's God revealing from revealing from.

211
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,100
He's he's. Yeah. You open it up and there's more here and there's more here.

212
00:11:21,260 --> 00:11:25,120
So, yeah. Yeah. Peel back the layers and watch it go.

213
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:38,040
But it's fixing to happen. And and we also find out that, you know, this is the place where where the ladies we find out that there's no females in heaven to start with.

214
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,200
the men

215
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:41,560
the men go first

216
00:11:42,780 --> 00:11:44,840
so we see that in verse 1

217
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:45,560
because it says

218
00:11:45,900 --> 00:11:47,440
and when he had opened the seventh seal

219
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,440
it said there was silence

220
00:11:50,020 --> 00:11:52,520
in heaven about the space of a half hour

221
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:54,520
so y'all were only a half hour

222
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:55,140
behind us

223
00:11:55,580 --> 00:11:55,700
but

224
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,160
where's the drum roll at

225
00:12:00,380 --> 00:12:00,480
alright

226
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:04,660
Dennis doesn't have his drums

227
00:12:04,820 --> 00:12:07,159
I should have brought him

228
00:12:07,180 --> 00:12:10,820
We just went from 10 viewers to four.

229
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,860
But no, anyway, just a bad joke.

230
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,480
But the seventh seal is open,

231
00:12:24,020 --> 00:12:26,540
and there's silence in heaven for a span of about a half an hour.

232
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,720
And when the other judgments took place,

233
00:12:30,020 --> 00:12:33,080
there were people who repented during those judgments, right?

234
00:12:34,340 --> 00:12:36,860
But as we see with most people today,

235
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:43,000
The knee wears off, and they're right back to the old cells again.

236
00:12:44,140 --> 00:12:47,260
They go back to their same lifestyles and the way they were.

237
00:12:48,580 --> 00:12:54,540
God's grace has been lifted on sinful man here in chapter 8.

238
00:12:54,820 --> 00:12:57,380
And now he's going to unleash his judgment.

239
00:12:57,530 --> 00:12:58,720
Isaiah 28, 21.

240
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,860
For the Lord shall rise up as in Mount Parism.

241
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:06,980
He shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon.

242
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:12,140
and that he may do his work, his strange work,

243
00:13:12,550 --> 00:13:16,500
and bring to pass his act, his strange act, Isaiah 28, 21.

244
00:13:16,900 --> 00:13:22,300
So a little bit of Isaiah's prophecy there.

245
00:13:23,540 --> 00:13:27,440
He does not enjoy, I want us to understand this,

246
00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:30,780
God doesn't enjoy or take pleasure in destroying his creation.

247
00:13:30,940 --> 00:13:32,140
No, no, no.

248
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,320
He's holding back from it for a long, long time.

249
00:13:35,540 --> 00:13:35,980
Yeah, yeah.

250
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:41,600
But he is a just God, and he will execute just judgment.

251
00:13:41,780 --> 00:13:43,000
Ezekiel 18, 32,

252
00:13:43,180 --> 00:13:46,380
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dith, saith the Lord,

253
00:13:47,220 --> 00:13:49,640
wherefore turn yourselves and live ye.

254
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,700
He's like, hey, please, you know, I don't want to do this.

255
00:13:54,140 --> 00:13:55,200
Don't make me do this.

256
00:13:55,420 --> 00:14:00,820
But I think God's desire for all of us is for us to turn from our sins

257
00:14:01,940 --> 00:14:03,400
and to turn to him and live forever.

258
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,060
but the storm of God's wrath is coming.

259
00:14:09,010 --> 00:14:09,160
Amen.

260
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,040
Let us warn you tonight that the storm of God's wrath is coming.

261
00:14:13,450 --> 00:14:13,600
Amen.

262
00:14:13,860 --> 00:14:17,760
Just like the calm before the storm, we've seen that in chapter 7,

263
00:14:18,270 --> 00:14:19,360
and we see it today.

264
00:14:19,870 --> 00:14:24,040
When the silence is over and God's wrath is unleashed,

265
00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:28,220
that 30 minutes, that half hour of silence, and God's wrath is unleashed,

266
00:14:29,060 --> 00:14:33,060
man has never, nor will he ever, seen anything like it before.

267
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:33,700
Right.

268
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:33,760
Right.

269
00:14:34,340 --> 00:14:35,000
Or to cut.

270
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,220
He just promised that, didn't he?

271
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:36,540
Yes.

272
00:14:36,860 --> 00:14:37,100
Yeah.

273
00:14:37,220 --> 00:14:39,380
And that reminds me of 2 Peter 3, too.

274
00:14:39,420 --> 00:14:42,620
It says, but do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved,

275
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,500
that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day.

276
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,100
The Lord is not slow about his promises.

277
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,720
Some count slowness, but is patient toward you,

278
00:14:52,260 --> 00:14:54,900
not wishing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance.

279
00:14:55,140 --> 00:14:55,280
Amen.

280
00:14:55,540 --> 00:14:57,900
He's been holding back on this for a long time,

281
00:14:57,940 --> 00:15:01,900
and only he can know who, you know, the last person that might get saved, right?

282
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:02,460
Yeah.

283
00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:07,160
And, man, when that happens, it's going to get ugly.

284
00:15:07,710 --> 00:15:10,780
And we see, we've seen a bunch of ugly already,

285
00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:12,920
and it's about to get a whole lot worse.

286
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:13,520
Yes, it is.

287
00:15:13,820 --> 00:15:16,220
Especially when going to Chapter 9, it's just, oh, yeah.

288
00:15:16,380 --> 00:15:16,660
Oh, yeah.

289
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:17,200
Ugh.

290
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:22,640
And one of the things here that's always struck me is, you know,

291
00:15:22,660 --> 00:15:25,160
it doesn't really tell us where the silence came from,

292
00:15:25,310 --> 00:15:26,300
what the silence was about.

293
00:15:26,590 --> 00:15:28,800
It just says that he opened the seal, and all of a sudden, boom,

294
00:15:29,180 --> 00:15:30,700
it's silent for half an hour.

295
00:15:30,730 --> 00:15:31,500
I think it's an awe.

296
00:15:31,540 --> 00:15:33,920
And I think I started to say in all.

297
00:15:34,980 --> 00:15:43,160
And every single being in heaven knows that God has this thing that he does where everything is grouped in sevens.

298
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,440
Everything is, yeah.

299
00:15:45,660 --> 00:15:48,500
And when he's doing a work, he groups it in seven.

300
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:49,260
He does six.

301
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:49,960
And then seven.

302
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:51,820
And on number seven, he's done.

303
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:52,520
He's stopped.

304
00:15:52,540 --> 00:15:53,040
Not pick seven.

305
00:15:53,460 --> 00:15:54,420
No, not that.

306
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:55,160
No, no, no.

307
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,100
Seven, eight, nine.

308
00:15:56,780 --> 00:15:57,100
Yeah, yeah.

309
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,120
He worked for six days and rested on the seventh day.

310
00:16:01,220 --> 00:16:05,800
And you have the same thing here where that seventh seal, it's the final seal on this book.

311
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,300
The book itself is about to be open.

312
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,580
And so you have that seal releasing and everybody's like, oh, what's about to happen?

313
00:16:13,580 --> 00:16:23,860
Well, and I think there's probably, you know, here we are, we're the bride of Christ and we're with him.

314
00:16:24,300 --> 00:16:24,740
We're there.

315
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,840
And we talked about before, it says we don't yet know what we're going to be like, but we know we're going to be like him.

316
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:38,920
So I think we know that something, we may not know the totality of it or the full effect of what he's about to do.

317
00:16:39,010 --> 00:16:41,460
But, boy, we've got an idea that this ain't going to be good.

318
00:16:41,620 --> 00:16:41,740
No.

319
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:45,020
He's already gave him a chance, and he's already told him.

320
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:48,960
And it's like, oh, man, people, please.

321
00:16:50,279 --> 00:16:53,020
And like you said, it's an awe moment.

322
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,100
Like the power of God's fixing to be unleashed.

323
00:16:56,340 --> 00:17:00,480
I mean, he's already, what we've already read has been monstrous, right?

324
00:17:00,610 --> 00:17:03,600
I mean, especially what was it, the sixth seal or the fifth seal?

325
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,520
The sixth seal, and it just shakes everything.

326
00:17:05,699 --> 00:17:05,839
Yeah.

327
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:06,459
Everything.

328
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:07,660
And then there's that silence.

329
00:17:08,020 --> 00:17:08,260
Right.

330
00:17:08,810 --> 00:17:08,920
Yeah.

331
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:12,079
Not a good silence.

332
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:17,180
It's like when you go home and you know you're already in trouble before you get home.

333
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:20,439
You know, you find out your parents found out something you've done wrong,

334
00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:25,280
and then you get to the house and nobody says anything to you.

335
00:17:26,260 --> 00:17:31,060
and and you walk in your room and you just or your dad says hey go in there and wait

336
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,620
i'll be in there in a minute yeah i'm about to come have a conversation with you

337
00:17:35,820 --> 00:17:41,860
uh-oh and you're in there like oh boy come on in here and get it over with dad please yeah

338
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:47,360
yeah yeah the worst one's waiting though oh god i need time to think about it yes

339
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:55,380
all right so we want to do uh i was thinking maybe verses two through six sure um

340
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:01,000
And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

341
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,240
Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer, and much incense was given to him,

342
00:18:07,300 --> 00:18:12,640
so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar, which was before the throne.

343
00:18:13,460 --> 00:18:18,260
And the smoke of the incense with the prayers of the saints went up before God out of the angel's hand.

344
00:18:19,100 --> 00:18:23,100
Then the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar and threw it to the earth,

345
00:18:23,580 --> 00:18:27,380
and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning in an earthquake.

346
00:18:28,110 --> 00:18:31,680
And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.

347
00:18:32,900 --> 00:18:36,700
So one thing I noticed here that this is, it's seven angels,

348
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,980
but this is not to be confused with the seven spirits of God.

349
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,000
How about seven Spanish?

350
00:18:41,250 --> 00:18:41,880
Seven Spanish.

351
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,780
Oh, man, Willie Nelson's here.

352
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:46,140
Attaboy, Willie.

353
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:48,580
Sorry.

354
00:18:48,990 --> 00:18:51,120
But this is not the seven spirits of God, right?

355
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:58,620
This is seven literal angels that are there with seven trumpets given to them.

356
00:18:59,100 --> 00:18:59,940
Yeah, yeah.

357
00:19:01,860 --> 00:19:05,460
So, I mean, this is a special group of angels, isn't it?

358
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:10,420
Possibly maybe including Gabriel since he stands before God.

359
00:19:10,660 --> 00:19:14,260
He tells us this in Luke 119.

360
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,360
He announced the birth of John the Baptist to Zacharias.

361
00:19:18,220 --> 00:19:19,120
Luke 119 says,

362
00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:23,740
And the angel answering him said unto him, I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God,

363
00:19:23,780 --> 00:19:28,200
and I am sent to speak unto thee and to show thee these glad tidings.

364
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:30,480
So, you know, it could be.

365
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:31,560
It could be him.

366
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:38,060
Sound of trumpets have a special meaning to the children of Israel.

367
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,200
And I think we talked a little bit about that last week.

368
00:19:41,780 --> 00:19:44,420
In the book of Numbers, trumpets were used in two ways.

369
00:19:44,700 --> 00:19:47,680
God told Moses to make two trumpets of silver.

370
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,980
They were used to call the assembly together and begin the procession

371
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,200
that would lead the children of Israel into their wilderness march.

372
00:19:57,620 --> 00:20:00,960
He said, this was in Numbers 10 too,

373
00:20:01,460 --> 00:20:03,860
Make these two trumpets of silver and a whole piece,

374
00:20:04,210 --> 00:20:11,120
thou mayest use them and call us to the assembly

375
00:20:11,550 --> 00:20:13,840
and for the journeying of the camps.

376
00:20:14,980 --> 00:20:17,700
And then the second thing, the way that they used them,

377
00:20:17,860 --> 00:20:22,700
when they entered into the land, the trumpets had two other purposes.

378
00:20:23,100 --> 00:20:26,580
So Numbers 10 goes on and describes that.

379
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:26,960
It says,

380
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:38,500
If you go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresses you, then you shall blow an alarm with the trumpets, and you shall be remembered before the Lord your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies.

381
00:20:39,180 --> 00:20:53,300
Also in the day of your gladness and your solemn days and in the beginning of your months you shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings, that they may be to you for a memorial before your God.

382
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,060
I am the Lord your God.

383
00:20:56,360 --> 00:21:00,540
So, yeah, it always marks something big.

384
00:21:00,780 --> 00:21:00,940
Yeah.

385
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:01,300
Yeah.

386
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:01,820
Big coming.

387
00:21:01,870 --> 00:21:01,960
Right.

388
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,240
And there was even a fall feast, the Feast of Trumpets.

389
00:21:06,420 --> 00:21:06,560
Yeah.

390
00:21:06,980 --> 00:21:07,080
Yeah.

391
00:21:07,220 --> 00:21:14,140
And I just, it just struck me now, you know, a lot of people connect the, it's the first

392
00:21:14,170 --> 00:21:16,860
of the fall festivals and it's one that hasn't been fulfilled yet.

393
00:21:17,140 --> 00:21:17,240
Right.

394
00:21:17,340 --> 00:21:17,620
Prophecy.

395
00:21:17,820 --> 00:21:17,900
Yeah.

396
00:21:18,230 --> 00:21:18,340
Yeah.

397
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,780
And a lot of people connect that with Rapture.

398
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:21,200
Yeah.

399
00:21:21,380 --> 00:21:22,920
And I kind of get that.

400
00:21:22,980 --> 00:21:25,180
I kind of see that, but what if it's connected with this,

401
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,500
with the beginning of the great tribulation?

402
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:27,820
Yeah.

403
00:21:28,060 --> 00:21:31,080
Because what we've read so far has been like the first three and a half years,

404
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,380
the tribulation.

405
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:32,800
Yeah.

406
00:21:33,140 --> 00:21:36,360
What's coming is the great tribulation, the last three and a half years,

407
00:21:36,780 --> 00:21:37,980
which is going to be awful.

408
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,740
And the trumpets signify the start of that.

409
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:41,060
Yeah.

410
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:41,680
Yeah.

411
00:21:41,780 --> 00:21:44,760
And I wonder if maybe that's the prophetic trumpet, feast of trumpets.

412
00:21:44,940 --> 00:21:45,940
Absolutely could be.

413
00:21:48,340 --> 00:21:51,300
And on that road, I think it absolutely could be.

414
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,080
But now you've got all these people that are trying to tie that in,

415
00:21:55,300 --> 00:21:56,400
and maybe they're on to something.

416
00:21:56,620 --> 00:21:57,140
You know what I'm saying?

417
00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:00,320
But then they want to try to predict when it's going to happen.

418
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:01,960
Yeah, it's going to be on the same day.

419
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:06,340
Yeah, that's where they get off somewhere in the weeds trying to do that.

420
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,360
But, yeah, absolutely, I think it could be.

421
00:22:10,980 --> 00:22:14,540
The trumpet, it talks about 10-4 numbers.

422
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,400
It says, and they blow, but with one trumpet, then the princes,

423
00:22:18,060 --> 00:22:19,740
which are the heads of the thousands of Israel,

424
00:22:19,860 --> 00:22:21,300
shall gather themselves together.

425
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:26,840
So this is a trumpet that probably corresponds to the last trumpet in 1 Corinthians 15.

426
00:22:27,660 --> 00:22:31,540
This trumpet in Numbers was to bring a certain group of people out of Israel.

427
00:22:31,620 --> 00:22:36,520
The last trump we'll hear will be to bring the redeemed out of the earth, right?

428
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,920
When he says in 1 Corinthians 15,

429
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,340
Behold, I show you a mystery.

430
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:43,400
We shall not all sleep, but shall all be changed.

431
00:22:43,900 --> 00:22:47,360
In the moment in the twinkling of an eye, the last trump for the trumpet shall sound,

432
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,600
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

433
00:22:51,220 --> 00:22:54,600
There's a lot of people who like to relate the seventh trumpet in Revelation

434
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,520
to the last trumpet in that verse, but they're not the same thing.

435
00:22:57,900 --> 00:22:58,800
Not the same thing.

436
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,720
Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 4.16,

437
00:23:02,100 --> 00:23:05,780
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,

438
00:23:05,860 --> 00:23:07,660
with the voice of an archangel, with the trumpet of God,

439
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,220
and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

440
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,520
This shout is the voice of Jesus, isn't it?

441
00:23:13,820 --> 00:23:20,160
So what we hear at the rapture is the voice of Jesus that is like a trumpet,

442
00:23:20,380 --> 00:23:26,240
The voice of an archangel means that his voice is like that of an archangel.

443
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,520
So the trump of God is still his voice, but it's not an actual trumpet.

444
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,020
We look at Revelation 1.10.

445
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,140
I was in the spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet.

446
00:23:38,820 --> 00:23:39,100
Yeah.

447
00:23:40,540 --> 00:23:41,940
I've always wondered, too.

448
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,260
We talk about that trumpet sound.

449
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:46,520
It's a spiritual trumpet.

450
00:23:46,740 --> 00:23:46,860
Yeah.

451
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,560
We need to understand it's a spiritual trumpet.

452
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:54,780
practically you look at it practically that there are people who are deaf yeah not hear a trumpet

453
00:23:55,160 --> 00:24:00,680
in the clouds yeah right or people working in a submarine yeah right and they're gonna get raptured

454
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,400
right right you may not hear that but you'll hear your heart that's it you'll hear in your mind or

455
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:11,240
your heart or some spiritual way still small voice but it alarms right yeah yeah well probably booming

456
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:16,040
loud yeah i started to say it's that spiritual thing it's that supernatural thing and i think

457
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:21,300
it's going to be something that when he when he comes and we all go everyone is going to hear it

458
00:24:21,860 --> 00:24:25,780
whether you're going or not the only difference is some people are going to go what was that

459
00:24:26,350 --> 00:24:30,220
and the rest of us are going to and they're going to look around and go hey whoa where'd they go oh

460
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:35,580
kind of like uh kind of like when uh what was it uh was it saul on the road to damascus where the

461
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,180
guys that were with him just they just heard something they didn't know what it was said

462
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,640
right yeah they were just hearing noise and they were like what is going on here and some of them

463
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:48,980
saw the light but they didn't hear anything yeah and it was it was confusing and i think that i've

464
00:24:49,340 --> 00:24:52,900
always just in my mind thought that's how the rapture was going to be christ was going to come

465
00:24:53,020 --> 00:24:58,900
back and be whatever it is that he's saying come with me get up follow me time to go whatever it

466
00:24:58,980 --> 00:25:04,840
is he says come here yeah come on but the only ones that will really speak to is like what you said

467
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:10,100
is is is those who are saved and we will know what it means and we will know what it says yeah it's

468
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,340
It's like when he called Lazarus out of the grave, right?

469
00:25:12,900 --> 00:25:14,180
I mean, Lazarus come forth.

470
00:25:14,310 --> 00:25:15,740
He had no, he had.

471
00:25:16,620 --> 00:25:17,600
Everybody heard it.

472
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:18,200
Yeah.

473
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,640
But only Lazarus responded.

474
00:25:19,740 --> 00:25:21,360
Only Lazarus responded.

475
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,800
And listen, he was able to, I think he floated out of there.

476
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,120
You know, we've talked about that before because he was wrapped up mummified.

477
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,380
But yeah, there was no way he could stay in the grave.

478
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,920
There's no way he could stay dead when that happened.

479
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:36,480
Yeah.

480
00:25:40,460 --> 00:25:43,280
The next part of that was the smoke of the incense.

481
00:25:43,980 --> 00:25:45,240
That's an interesting thing to me,

482
00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:50,560
that the prayers of the saints are represented as incense before the Lord.

483
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,440
And that's symbolic of the Old Testament.

484
00:25:52,700 --> 00:25:55,360
In the tabernacle and temple, that incense was used like that.

485
00:25:55,500 --> 00:25:57,040
It's the prayers of the saints.

486
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:58,720
And it's not just the prayers.

487
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,820
I believe it's the worship of the saints, the lives of the saints.

488
00:26:02,500 --> 00:26:07,900
It's just the sweet aroma of the things that we do that honor and glorify Him.

489
00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:11,680
Yeah, and we heard the prayers of the saints back in chapter 6, didn't we?

490
00:26:11,780 --> 00:26:11,920
Yeah.

491
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:18,840
And in Revelation 6 and in verse 9 through 11, if you want to go back and look at that.

492
00:26:20,260 --> 00:26:22,460
But we heard that in chapter 6.

493
00:26:22,530 --> 00:26:24,300
It was when he had opened the fifth seal.

494
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:25,100
And he said,

495
00:26:25,150 --> 00:26:28,060
He saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God

496
00:26:28,070 --> 00:26:30,140
and the testimony that they held.

497
00:26:30,610 --> 00:26:32,700
And they cried with a loud voice, saying,

498
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:33,880
How long, O Lord?

499
00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:35,040
holy and true,

500
00:26:35,220 --> 00:26:38,180
as thou judge and avenge our blood and them that dwell on the earth.

501
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,340
And white roads were given unto every one of them.

502
00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:42,520
And it was said unto them,

503
00:26:42,570 --> 00:26:47,560
they should rest yet for a little season unto their fellow servants also,

504
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,780
and their brethren that should be killed as they were,

505
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:51,900
should be fulfilled.

506
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,180
So now these prayers are being answered,

507
00:26:55,620 --> 00:26:58,820
and Christ is moving in great judgment.

508
00:27:00,540 --> 00:27:02,360
Psalms 141, this is what David said.

509
00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:03,620
He said, Lord, I cry unto thee.

510
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,100
Make haste unto me.

511
00:27:05,420 --> 00:27:06,580
Give ear unto my voice.

512
00:27:06,710 --> 00:27:10,580
When I cry unto thee, let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense,

513
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,220
and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

514
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,600
And he does.

515
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,300
And here's the prayers of his people.

516
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,540
Because of Christ's victory on the cross, that's why he can hear us, right?

517
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:25,880
Yeah.

518
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:26,260
Yeah.

519
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,420
We've got a connection with him.

520
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:29,280
Yeah.

521
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:29,780
Yeah.

522
00:27:30,420 --> 00:27:30,500
Yeah.

523
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,680
And what's the response to those prayers?

524
00:27:33,820 --> 00:27:34,520
It's verse five.

525
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:35,940
Angel takes that censer.

526
00:27:36,260 --> 00:27:36,340
Yeah.

527
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,280
Fills it with fire from the altar.

528
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:38,740
Yeah.

529
00:27:39,020 --> 00:27:39,700
Throws it to the earth.

530
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:40,180
Yeah.

531
00:27:40,580 --> 00:27:40,680
Yeah.

532
00:27:41,020 --> 00:27:43,160
And that's a response to the prayers of the saints.

533
00:27:43,420 --> 00:27:43,780
That's right.

534
00:27:44,020 --> 00:27:44,380
That's right.

535
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,420
And judgment's coming.

536
00:27:45,580 --> 00:27:46,020
It is.

537
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,420
Prayers are going up and judgment's coming down.

538
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:49,620
Yeah.

539
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,740
You know, prayers went up, judgment comes down.

540
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,300
And here's, you know, four things here that we see.

541
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:55,660
Thunder.

542
00:27:56,820 --> 00:28:00,220
It denotes the approach of God's judgment.

543
00:28:00,420 --> 00:28:00,820
The storm.

544
00:28:01,020 --> 00:28:02,120
There's a storm that's coming.

545
00:28:02,300 --> 00:28:02,420
Yeah.

546
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,320
There's voices, the voice of God's judgment so that no one mistakes.

547
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,200
This is just another storm.

548
00:28:09,420 --> 00:28:10,500
This is not just another storm.

549
00:28:10,660 --> 00:28:11,840
This is God himself.

550
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,700
Lightning, the power of an almighty God being unleashed.

551
00:28:18,060 --> 00:28:18,260
Amen.

552
00:28:18,660 --> 00:28:19,400
And then the earthquake.

553
00:28:19,750 --> 00:28:26,340
This will be the earth's response to the great pressure that's exerted from God's judgment upon man.

554
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,100
Like the earth won't be able to hold itself, right?

555
00:28:29,220 --> 00:28:31,060
It's just going to be, it's going to shake.

556
00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:35,480
You know, and I've always wondered if, from the perspective of the people on the Earth,

557
00:28:35,900 --> 00:28:39,800
they've had all this stuff going on that's already happened, and it's been rough,

558
00:28:40,460 --> 00:28:43,760
and then all of a sudden they look up and this sensor is coming down filled with fire.

559
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,680
They're going to see a meteor coming right towards the Earth just blazing.

560
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:48,360
You go, uh-oh.

561
00:28:49,020 --> 00:28:51,300
And then the whole planet starts shaking.

562
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,660
I mean, it's not that big.

563
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,500
It's big enough for the angel to pick it up and go, kunk.

564
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,580
I mean, you're talking about something the size of your fist.

565
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:58,880
And this is not a regional thing.

566
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,080
This is not like you only see this from Alabama.

567
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:01,760
Right.

568
00:29:01,900 --> 00:29:03,100
It is global.

569
00:29:03,340 --> 00:29:04,000
This is global.

570
00:29:04,140 --> 00:29:04,820
Yeah, absolutely.

571
00:29:04,980 --> 00:29:07,960
Everybody around the world is going to see flashes of lightning and hear thunder.

572
00:29:08,340 --> 00:29:09,960
Can you imagine what this is going to be like?

573
00:29:10,020 --> 00:29:11,020
I mean, good gracious.

574
00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:18,120
There's no movie that could actually capture the greatness of what this is.

575
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:19,180
The scale.

576
00:29:19,540 --> 00:29:20,600
The scale of it.

577
00:29:20,860 --> 00:29:23,640
Gosh, it's going to be off the scale.

578
00:29:23,940 --> 00:29:27,340
Yeah, I mean, this is going back to Noah's flood kind of stuff.

579
00:29:27,900 --> 00:29:28,000
Yeah.

580
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:56,260
I've watched some guys. There's this one guy I really like. I can't remember his name on YouTube. He's a physicist. And he starts going through all the evidence for Noah's flood. And he just goes into this super detail on this stuff and plates hit and all these things. And that the earth literally almost exploded when the fountain of the deep broke loose. He said it wasn't about the rain. It was about this. The earth's crust was sitting on a body of water way, way, way underneath the earth.

581
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,040
And when that cracked out, it put a baseball seam all the way around the world.

582
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,120
And he thinks that the meteorites, the meteorite belt out between us and Mars,

583
00:30:04,380 --> 00:30:06,080
it rocks that came out of the earth.

584
00:30:06,220 --> 00:30:06,640
Oh, wow.

585
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,500
And the earth actually shrank in diameter a little bit.

586
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:09,780
Yeah.

587
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:15,460
And that's why the prophetic day is 360 days because it goes back before the flood.

588
00:30:15,860 --> 00:30:16,060
Right.

589
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,000
And now it's 365 days and a quarter.

590
00:30:18,260 --> 00:30:18,400
Yeah.

591
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,880
It changed the way the earth rotates around the sun, too.

592
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,260
I mean, it just wrecked the world.

593
00:30:23,500 --> 00:30:23,660
Yeah.

594
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:23,880
Right.

595
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:24,360
Absolutely.

596
00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:29,760
And it's really interesting stuff to go back to that, but it's coming again, and it's coming worse.

597
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:30,320
It is.

598
00:30:30,500 --> 00:30:30,760
It is.

599
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:36,000
It's coming in a greater capacity than we've ever even thought about.

600
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,920
So the half hour of silence is broken.

601
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,560
The trumpets have been handed out.

602
00:30:41,700 --> 00:30:43,320
The prayers of the saints have been heard.

603
00:30:43,740 --> 00:30:50,600
And now the angels are about to blow these trumpets, and that's going to bring on the divine wrath of a sovereign God.

604
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,940
And what's funny is that these ain't the worst of it yet.

605
00:30:55,180 --> 00:30:55,480
No.

606
00:30:56,500 --> 00:30:58,740
These four are not the worst of it yet.

607
00:30:58,900 --> 00:30:59,640
Absolutely not.

608
00:31:00,030 --> 00:31:01,580
No, it keeps getting worse.

609
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:02,880
It keeps getting worse.

610
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,240
Do we want to look at seven?

611
00:31:06,420 --> 00:31:06,740
Sevens?

612
00:31:06,980 --> 00:31:07,060
Yeah.

613
00:31:07,220 --> 00:31:07,460
Okay.

614
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:17,220
And the first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire and mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth,

615
00:31:17,420 --> 00:31:19,680
and the third part of the trees was burned up

616
00:31:19,820 --> 00:31:22,860
and all green grass was burned up.

617
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:28,580
So these are plagues that are, let me be clear,

618
00:31:28,980 --> 00:31:30,060
they're not symbolic.

619
00:31:30,340 --> 00:31:30,420
Right.

620
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,060
Okay, this is not symbolic, but it's very literal.

621
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,560
Just as they were in Egypt.

622
00:31:37,580 --> 00:31:42,700
This is going to destroy one third of all plant life on earth.

623
00:31:43,740 --> 00:31:46,660
As in Noah's day, the earth was destroyed by flood.

624
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,760
Now it's going to be purified by fire.

625
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:51,720
Sounds like Sodom and Gomorrah.

626
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:52,260
It does.

627
00:31:52,540 --> 00:31:53,180
Yeah, it does.

628
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,880
Because it was so evil that God said, I'm going to burn this thing up.

629
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,140
So God began with plant life in Genesis 111.

630
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:10,320
And now it will be the first thing to be destroyed when this happens.

631
00:32:10,540 --> 00:32:15,940
So similar to what happened in Exodus chapter 9, if you go back and you look,

632
00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:17,600
It says,

633
00:32:46,540 --> 00:32:48,520
the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh

634
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,340
made his servants and his cattle flee into the house.

635
00:32:52,300 --> 00:32:54,860
And he that regarded not the word of the Lord

636
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,120
left his servant and the cattle in the field.

637
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:58,840
And the Lord said unto Moses,

638
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,620
Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven,

639
00:33:01,340 --> 00:33:04,100
that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt

640
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:05,820
upon man and upon beast

641
00:33:05,940 --> 00:33:07,180
and upon every herb of the field

642
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:08,280
throughout the land of Egypt.

643
00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:10,900
And Moses stretched forth his rod towards heaven,

644
00:33:10,900 --> 00:33:13,580
and the Lord sent thunder and hail and fire

645
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:14,740
along upon the ground.

646
00:33:15,140 --> 00:33:17,320
And the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

647
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,100
So there was hail and fire mingled with the hail,

648
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,820
very grievous, such as there was none like it

649
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,020
in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

650
00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:31,640
And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt

651
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,140
and that was in the field, both man and beast.

652
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,900
And the hail smote every herb of the field

653
00:33:38,180 --> 00:33:39,580
and break every tree of the field.

654
00:33:40,620 --> 00:33:42,160
Only in the land of Goshen,

655
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,020
where the children of Israel were,

656
00:33:44,460 --> 00:33:45,580
Was there no hell?

657
00:33:46,340 --> 00:33:49,460
Oh, you know, God's unleashing on them there.

658
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:49,940
Yeah.

659
00:33:50,460 --> 00:33:50,780
Crazy.

660
00:33:50,940 --> 00:33:51,340
It's awful.

661
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:52,780
Awful.

662
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,480
You know, one of the things you have to think about when reading that

663
00:33:56,500 --> 00:34:01,160
and just the level of ecological disaster from that there in Egypt,

664
00:34:02,460 --> 00:34:04,080
and then here we are in Revelation 8,

665
00:34:05,820 --> 00:34:09,139
and this is applied to the earth as a whole.

666
00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:13,060
A third of all trees gone.

667
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,100
all of the grass.

668
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:16,560
Yeah.

669
00:34:17,260 --> 00:34:19,419
And when it says all the green grass,

670
00:34:19,980 --> 00:34:21,780
it's not just talking about the grass in your yard,

671
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,659
all your wheat, your rye, your things like that.

672
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:25,800
It's just gone.

673
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,780
And then now you've got a third of the trees.

674
00:34:29,110 --> 00:34:30,340
Do you know what trees do?

675
00:34:31,399 --> 00:34:31,919
They help us.

676
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,240
Well, first of all, they give us food, right?

677
00:34:35,460 --> 00:34:37,320
You have fruit trees and things like that

678
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:38,419
that give us food to eat.

679
00:34:39,060 --> 00:34:40,139
They also let us breathe.

680
00:34:40,399 --> 00:34:40,580
Yeah.

681
00:34:40,860 --> 00:34:43,960
And we just lost a third of the thing on the planet

682
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,280
that's going to make us be able to breathe.

683
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:49,240
We'll take care of that so-called carbon problem we have.

684
00:34:49,300 --> 00:34:49,720
Oh, yeah.

685
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,620
You think it's bad now.

686
00:34:55,020 --> 00:34:57,960
Let's take a third of the carbon scrubbers out of the planet.

687
00:34:57,980 --> 00:34:59,660
Where's the oxygen going to come from, right?

688
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:00,880
It's going to be awful.

689
00:35:02,140 --> 00:35:04,760
And verse 8, the second angel sounded.

690
00:35:05,380 --> 00:35:08,120
And something like a great mountain burning with fire

691
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,000
was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood,

692
00:35:11,500 --> 00:35:13,940
and a third of the creatures which were in the sea

693
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:21,200
had life died and a third of the ships were destroyed so again we got to take this literally

694
00:35:21,540 --> 00:35:26,360
yeah we can't we can't put some kind of a metaphor around it it's it it looks like a great mountain

695
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:31,600
burning with fire it sounds a lot like a meteorite yeah yeah or a meteor yeah yeah it sounds like a

696
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:37,220
big one sounds like the big one but there's there's more of them coming but uh that's what it sounds

697
00:35:37,340 --> 00:35:42,020
like to me it's something it's something just destroys the ocean yeah yeah that's right yeah

698
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,940
And it does, it looks like a meteor.

699
00:35:45,020 --> 00:35:47,180
And it does say that, you know, as it were,

700
00:35:47,580 --> 00:35:50,000
but we know that something is destroying it here.

701
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,900
Something is, something literal is happening here

702
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,000
and it's unimaginable.

703
00:35:55,220 --> 00:35:57,340
Well, and you got to also take back,

704
00:35:57,580 --> 00:35:59,720
this is one of those places where I think we can look at it

705
00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:02,760
and say, okay, John had the words to express

706
00:36:03,260 --> 00:36:04,420
that he knew in those days.

707
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:05,720
They didn't have a word for meteor.

708
00:36:06,140 --> 00:36:08,300
So he just saw something the size of them

709
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,560
that looked like a mountain burning

710
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,580
like it was on fire, and it drops into the ocean,

711
00:36:13,720 --> 00:36:15,620
and then a third of the ocean is just gone.

712
00:36:15,700 --> 00:36:19,780
A third of the sea literally becomes blood.

713
00:36:20,220 --> 00:36:23,920
A third of all creatures in the sea literally die,

714
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,280
and because of the impact,

715
00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:30,480
one-third of the ships in the sea are literally destroyed.

716
00:36:30,820 --> 00:36:30,940
Exactly.

717
00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:32,020
Pacific.

718
00:36:32,380 --> 00:36:32,820
It is.

719
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:33,740
It's very specific.

720
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,540
And, hey, here's the thing.

721
00:36:36,700 --> 00:36:39,300
That one's not even a really difficult one to go,

722
00:36:39,500 --> 00:36:40,460
yeah, no, that makes sense.

723
00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:45,740
you drop something the size of a mountain that's flying at the earth from outer space into the

724
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:51,120
middle of the ocean it's called do you know what happens all that water goes up a bunch of it boils

725
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:56,200
off and all the critters there just suddenly get smashed and guess what they do they bleed yeah

726
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:01,720
yeah and and now you have the water going and this blood pouring out of these creatures so yeah i could

727
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:06,720
i'm like nope that makes perfect like this is not well you've got the plants in the in the ocean too

728
00:37:06,740 --> 00:37:08,320
that are giving oxygen to.

729
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:09,000
So, yeah.

730
00:37:09,180 --> 00:37:11,020
So it's destroying it all.

731
00:37:11,240 --> 00:37:11,380
Yeah.

732
00:37:13,140 --> 00:37:17,580
Everything that nature provides for us to survive

733
00:37:18,660 --> 00:37:20,440
is being systematically destroyed here.

734
00:37:21,140 --> 00:37:21,320
Yeah.

735
00:37:22,140 --> 00:37:22,360
Wow.

736
00:37:24,940 --> 00:37:25,320
Verse 10.

737
00:37:25,700 --> 00:37:26,360
Ready to go to that?

738
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:28,680
And the third of the angel,

739
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:30,780
and the third angel, excuse me,

740
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:32,580
I'm used to working with thirds now.

741
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,700
And the third angel sounded,

742
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,020
And there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp.

743
00:37:39,510 --> 00:37:44,320
And it fell upon the third part of the rivers and upon the fountains of the waters.

744
00:37:45,540 --> 00:37:48,600
And the name of the star is called Wormwood.

745
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:51,460
And the third part of the waters became Wormwood,

746
00:37:51,510 --> 00:37:56,140
and many men died of the waters because they were made bitter.

747
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:58,060
Wow.

748
00:37:59,359 --> 00:38:04,040
So you got a great, again, probably a meteor, right?

749
00:38:04,340 --> 00:38:08,720
looks like it sounds like here yeah you know and you think about from from the point of view and

750
00:38:08,900 --> 00:38:14,680
it's not a literal star you know we understand little stars are too far away there but something

751
00:38:14,780 --> 00:38:21,600
looks like a star yeah and they're made a gap right something in the sky right yeah but uh if

752
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:26,260
you look at it from that that thing's perspective it can see about a third of the world when it's

753
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:31,700
coming in yeah yeah right depending on what part of the world is turning at the time right let's

754
00:38:31,700 --> 00:38:33,200
We'll see about a third of it, and it's going to hit.

755
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:33,540
Yeah.

756
00:38:33,860 --> 00:38:35,000
And a third's destroyed.

757
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,960
And a third of the freshwater supply, not just saltwater, not just the ocean.

758
00:38:40,980 --> 00:38:42,400
And it's poisoned by this.

759
00:38:42,620 --> 00:38:43,000
Yeah, yeah.

760
00:38:43,300 --> 00:38:44,060
Yeah, it does.

761
00:38:44,220 --> 00:38:46,900
It poisons one-third of the Earth's freshwater supply.

762
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:54,280
The name Wormwood in the Old Testament stood for idolatry, calamity, and sorrow, and false judgment.

763
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,000
That's what Wormwood stood for in the Old Testament.

764
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,820
And it says a third part of the waters became wormwood.

765
00:39:02,890 --> 00:39:08,580
So whatever this thing is made of, it just leaches out into those freshwater streams.

766
00:39:08,980 --> 00:39:13,500
And people are dying just from drinking it and from being exposed to it and from being around.

767
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,560
I mean, I don't know if we're talking about something with radiation at this point

768
00:39:16,610 --> 00:39:20,940
or if you're talking about something that's just like some of the various heavy metals that exist out there.

769
00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:22,760
Because some of those things are real dangerous to drink.

770
00:39:22,850 --> 00:39:27,520
And they're just flying around us out in the space out there pretty crazy.

771
00:39:27,940 --> 00:39:29,420
And it's like, oh, yeah, you run into that stuff.

772
00:39:29,500 --> 00:39:30,060
It's dangerous.

773
00:39:31,380 --> 00:39:34,960
It could, I mean, this sounds, I'll be honest, going back with that scientific mind,

774
00:39:35,180 --> 00:39:36,960
this sounds a lot like radiation poisoning to me.

775
00:39:37,340 --> 00:39:37,600
Yeah.

776
00:39:38,180 --> 00:39:38,400
Yeah.

777
00:39:38,860 --> 00:39:40,980
And it's like, we just don't know.

778
00:39:41,340 --> 00:39:41,420
Yeah.

779
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:43,880
Yep.

780
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:44,800
Well, 12.

781
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:45,300
12.

782
00:39:45,580 --> 00:39:45,660
12.

783
00:39:46,540 --> 00:39:46,740
All right.

784
00:39:46,820 --> 00:39:47,460
12 and 13.

785
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:47,940
Let's see.

786
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,000
The fourth angel sounded.

787
00:39:49,700 --> 00:39:56,220
And a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck so that a third of them would be darkened

788
00:39:56,260 --> 00:40:01,560
and the day would not shine for a third of it and the night in the same way then i looked and i heard

789
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:07,420
an eagle flying in midheaven saying with loud voice woe woe woe to those who dwell on the earth

790
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,960
because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who were about to sound yeah

791
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:21,900
three woes yeah third here third there yeah three just keep showing up no yes yes yeah yeah yeah uh

792
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:28,380
this one i i man i got no explanation but i'm gonna take it literally uh you know and can you

793
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:35,600
imagine a third of the sun going dark um what the temperatures on earth do yeah yeah yeah it's gonna

794
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:40,060
be cold you're looking at either something between the earth and the sun blocking part of the light

795
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:45,300
or possibly the earth actually from all these things slamming into it it starts spinning faster

796
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,740
yeah and it's not out of the realm of possibility that god has hit the light switch yeah that's

797
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:55,440
that's possible too blocks yeah well i mean since we were created since man was created

798
00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:03,100
he's counted on sources of light right the moon the stars the the sun uh they are they are used

799
00:41:03,180 --> 00:41:09,840
for planet growth they're used for warmth they're used for direction uh and and the list goes on but

800
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:16,060
during this time one-third of them will be cut off and one-third of the earth will be darkened

801
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:23,360
We'll also see this revealed in Matthew 24 in verse 29.

802
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,800
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened

803
00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:32,540
and the moon shall not give her light and the stars shall fall from heaven

804
00:41:32,540 --> 00:41:34,760
and the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

805
00:41:35,900 --> 00:41:41,140
So we see that when light goes away, direction goes away.

806
00:41:43,220 --> 00:41:50,080
And the last three judgments, the woe judgments, the intensity of these last three judgments are unimaginable.

807
00:41:50,220 --> 00:42:00,580
I mean, if we have any care and love for fellow man, we will warn them with this woe right now.

808
00:42:01,780 --> 00:42:04,680
We're seeing people and things being destroyed in thirds.

809
00:42:05,420 --> 00:42:08,440
And I ask the question, what can we do about it now?

810
00:42:09,140 --> 00:42:10,620
What can we do about it right now?

811
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:16,760
And the only thing that I know that we can do about it is to reduce the population that's going to be here during this time.

812
00:42:17,260 --> 00:42:17,400
Right.

813
00:42:17,940 --> 00:42:19,360
We can have a hand in that.

814
00:42:19,900 --> 00:42:29,640
God does the saving, but we can reduce the population of the world right now by sharing the gospel.

815
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:30,120
Amen.

816
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:30,720
Yeah.

817
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:31,560
Amen.

818
00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:35,420
And something sticks out to me, too, in these first four trumpets,

819
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:41,700
that everything that God created that we take for granted is being taken away.

820
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,200
Look at Romans 1, verse 20.

821
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,440
For since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes,

822
00:42:48,730 --> 00:42:51,820
his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen,

823
00:42:52,300 --> 00:42:55,460
being understood through what has been made so that they are without excuse.

824
00:42:56,660 --> 00:42:56,720
Yeah.

825
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:58,300
And he's taking it all away.

826
00:42:58,400 --> 00:42:58,960
No excuses.

827
00:42:59,380 --> 00:42:59,940
No excuses.

828
00:42:59,940 --> 00:43:00,320
No excuses.

829
00:43:00,900 --> 00:43:01,100
Wow.

830
00:43:01,340 --> 00:43:05,260
Like I say, everything that humans depend on systematically taken away,

831
00:43:06,010 --> 00:43:10,060
the trees, the grass, the oceans, and the life in the oceans,

832
00:43:10,660 --> 00:43:12,700
the fresh water sources are being taken away.

833
00:43:12,860 --> 00:43:16,660
The very light in the sky, a third of it is taken away.

834
00:43:18,700 --> 00:43:18,960
Goodness.

835
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:25,680
And he's still doing these judgments just metered out, right?

836
00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:29,660
He's not putting it all at once and just wiping it all clean.

837
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,360
People still have a chance to repent.

838
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:32,860
They do.

839
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,180
And I think that's the reason he's doing it like this.

840
00:43:35,720 --> 00:43:45,300
I mean, when we look back at Pharaoh, when we look back at the children of Egypt or the people in Egypt, that's what he was doing with them.

841
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,140
He's like, look, let them go or this is going to happen.

842
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:48,580
Yep.

843
00:43:49,380 --> 00:43:50,300
No, we're not going to.

844
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:51,060
Okay.

845
00:43:51,540 --> 00:43:52,060
It happens.

846
00:43:52,700 --> 00:43:54,080
Let them go where this is going to happen.

847
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,060
He does it again and again and again.

848
00:43:56,380 --> 00:43:57,420
And it just keeps happening.

849
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,780
And he could have just wiped them out all at one time.

850
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:01,800
But he did.

851
00:44:01,860 --> 00:44:13,260
He gave them an opportunity to let them go, to let them walk out of Egypt and go towards the promised land.

852
00:44:13,420 --> 00:44:15,380
But they were too foolish.

853
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,140
Yeah, and it shows us mercy, don't it?

854
00:44:17,340 --> 00:44:17,400
Yeah.

855
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:19,420
And they get more and more intense.

856
00:44:19,660 --> 00:44:19,860
Yeah.

857
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:20,800
More and more intense.

858
00:44:21,140 --> 00:44:21,240
Yeah.

859
00:44:21,660 --> 00:44:24,240
And they let government, the people in Egypt,

860
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:28,000
they let the government sway them in a way that was evil

861
00:44:28,940 --> 00:44:31,740
to not let the children of Israel go.

862
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,440
And they got caught up in the crossfire, all that, right?

863
00:44:35,740 --> 00:44:36,260
Yeah, they did.

864
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,160
Well, and Pharaoh, I mean, you look back at that,

865
00:44:39,340 --> 00:44:41,880
he was getting fired up, he was ready to let them go,

866
00:44:41,950 --> 00:44:43,240
and then he kept getting talked out of it.

867
00:44:43,470 --> 00:44:43,560
Yeah.

868
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,140
Either his advisors or his wife or his family.

869
00:44:46,240 --> 00:44:48,020
I mean, there were people who kept coming to him talking about it.

870
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,620
It's like, guys, take a hint.

871
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,220
You always got somebody in your ears trying to talk you into not doing the right thing.

872
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,180
And that's the exact same thing you got here.

873
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:56,560
Yeah.

874
00:44:56,780 --> 00:44:57,940
It's the exact same thing.

875
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,700
You've been talked out of it enough times.

876
00:44:59,990 --> 00:45:01,060
I mean, goodness.

877
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:01,880
Yeah.

878
00:45:02,380 --> 00:45:02,480
Yeah.

879
00:45:02,790 --> 00:45:02,880
Amen.

880
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:09,120
Go back to that verse we had at Sunday, just yesterday, that Brother Jake brought for us,

881
00:45:10,159 --> 00:45:12,740
about the king talking to Paul.

882
00:45:12,810 --> 00:45:14,520
And he says, you know, just almost.

883
00:45:15,100 --> 00:45:16,620
You almost persuaded me.

884
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:17,720
Almost persuaded.

885
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:18,160
Yeah.

886
00:45:18,500 --> 00:45:19,300
It's like, what do you mean almost?

887
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:24,500
If you're convinced enough to say it's almost, just take the next step.

888
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,820
There's so many people that won't be persuaded no matter what happens.

889
00:45:28,340 --> 00:45:29,340
And we see that here.

890
00:45:29,700 --> 00:45:29,960
Oh, yeah.

891
00:45:30,420 --> 00:45:31,180
No matter what.

892
00:45:31,540 --> 00:45:35,000
And they're hiding in caves saying, oh, the wrath of the Lamb has come.

893
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:36,680
Protect us.

894
00:45:37,220 --> 00:45:38,280
Keep us from the wrath.

895
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:39,800
And we see it.

896
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:40,360
Right.

897
00:45:40,460 --> 00:45:40,580
Yeah.

898
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,080
Turn away from this stuff.

899
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,120
But they're so blinded.

900
00:45:44,180 --> 00:45:45,300
They're so blinded.

901
00:45:45,340 --> 00:45:52,140
And we know that, you know, the Bible's already told us that unless this time be shortened, right, it would destroy everybody.

902
00:45:53,800 --> 00:46:05,020
And we know that there's a great delusion that has came on them that says that if it were even possible, that the very elect would believe it.

903
00:46:05,260 --> 00:46:07,780
But it's just all the things that are going on here.

904
00:46:08,020 --> 00:46:12,880
And we see those things happening now, not to this category or level,

905
00:46:13,540 --> 00:46:16,780
but we see so much now that we didn't have before.

906
00:46:17,100 --> 00:46:19,980
Again, I know we've talked about this before, but, I mean, we see AI,

907
00:46:20,340 --> 00:46:24,080
so we see how a lot of things are probably going to transpire, take place with AI.

908
00:46:24,330 --> 00:46:30,320
I mean, again, I mean, somebody who's, you've got a 17-year-old kid sitting in his basement

909
00:46:31,900 --> 00:46:35,620
that's making AI videos that look so real that you can't even tell the difference.

910
00:46:36,060 --> 00:46:40,060
Think about what people with technology that the government has

911
00:46:40,660 --> 00:46:44,700
and all the money that somebody like that has to be able to create something

912
00:46:44,900 --> 00:46:47,520
that's going to be such a strong delusion to them,

913
00:46:47,700 --> 00:46:48,980
and people are getting fooled by it.

914
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:55,020
Just yesterday, the church, I mean, there's persecution going on.

915
00:46:56,300 --> 00:46:58,920
Here in our little part of the world, we're not seeing it yet.

916
00:46:59,100 --> 00:47:00,140
I had a shoe thrown at me.

917
00:47:01,050 --> 00:47:02,740
Yeah, you did. I forgot about that.

918
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:11,020
yeah all of us but dennis are not seeing a lot of parts but he did have a shoe and then a sock

919
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:17,780
so yeah kind of went the different direction yeah well he's he's older and have a good aim so yeah

920
00:47:18,020 --> 00:47:23,380
yeah he was trying to throw a stink bomb at you so

921
00:47:26,240 --> 00:47:32,760
but uh but but you know that's um that's that's the place we're in of course i know y'all

922
00:47:32,980 --> 00:47:38,440
Probably seen the news yesterday, church in Minnesota,

923
00:47:40,799 --> 00:47:45,560
that people come in there protesting because they had an ICE agent that went to church there.

924
00:47:46,140 --> 00:47:53,460
And they just interrupt the whole service and come in and start protesting inside during the service.

925
00:47:53,580 --> 00:47:57,460
And then Don Lemon comes in and starts badgering the preacher.

926
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:58,280
Yes, yeah.

927
00:47:59,620 --> 00:48:03,500
And makes the statement, it shows how smart this Don Lemon guy is.

928
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:08,420
He comes in and says, well, I mean, you know, he said it's freedom of speech.

929
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:09,460
No, it's not.

930
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,760
You've crossed the line on freedom of speech.

931
00:48:11,950 --> 00:48:16,180
These people were in here gathered in the freedom of being able to worship.

932
00:48:16,820 --> 00:48:17,560
That first amendment.

933
00:48:17,740 --> 00:48:19,640
That's the first part of it, actually.

934
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,660
You know, and these other people, they weren't standing up there on the sidewalk doing this.

935
00:48:24,670 --> 00:48:27,120
They weren't out there on public property doing this.

936
00:48:27,500 --> 00:48:31,900
They came into the church, disrupted the whole order of things,

937
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,180
and then you had this woman that was leading the whole thing

938
00:48:34,300 --> 00:48:39,160
that said that she was not only a lawyer and a lawyer,

939
00:48:41,500 --> 00:48:43,480
and then she said, I'm also a reverend.

940
00:48:43,740 --> 00:48:45,680
And I'm like, yeah, okay, here's our problem.

941
00:48:47,220 --> 00:48:48,620
Educated into oblivion.

942
00:48:48,620 --> 00:48:49,240
Yeah, yeah.

943
00:48:50,540 --> 00:48:56,740
And I will take that second to remind people that churches are actually private property.

944
00:48:56,980 --> 00:48:58,520
You can be asked to leave.

945
00:48:58,720 --> 00:48:59,240
That's exactly right.

946
00:48:59,260 --> 00:49:01,440
And that's what they were asking them to do, and they wouldn't leave.

947
00:49:02,140 --> 00:49:13,060
I mean, and one of the things I've seen, one of the articles I've seen on it is that any time a church service has been interrupted by someone like that, they've never been on the good side.

948
00:49:13,500 --> 00:49:15,960
It's never been good people come in and done that.

949
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:16,300
Right.

950
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:23,740
I saw where the DOJ might be charging them with, especially Don Lemon, with this rule that our law was created for the KKK.

951
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:24,440
Yeah.

952
00:49:24,740 --> 00:49:24,820
Yeah.

953
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:25,340
Wow.

954
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,040
That is hilarious and they should do it.

955
00:49:29,300 --> 00:49:30,800
Yeah, that'd be irony.

956
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:32,700
You know, it's one of those things.

957
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:43,780
If you're wanting to protest something like that, I promise every single state has right-of-way laws off the street where you can go stand out off the street and you can get off the street, not blocking the street.

958
00:49:44,140 --> 00:49:44,900
That is not legal.

959
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:50,060
You can stand out of the street and you can protest even in front of a church.

960
00:49:50,180 --> 00:49:50,980
And, hey, you know what?

961
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,080
It would be annoying and it would be frustrating for us.

962
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:58,260
But as long as they're out here doing it the right way, there's a reason these things exist the way they do.

963
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:07,580
I think these people, they have a sense of moral superiority, and it goes back to their religion of humanism, which is really the spirit of Babylon.

964
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:08,320
Yes, it is.

965
00:50:08,720 --> 00:50:09,120
Absolutely.

966
00:50:09,540 --> 00:50:11,020
It makes them feel good.

967
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:11,440
Right?

968
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:11,740
Yeah.

969
00:50:11,860 --> 00:50:17,640
And they're all bound together on this thing to protect people who are literally breaking the law by being here.

970
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:18,060
Absolutely.

971
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:29,700
We should have all the compassion on these people in the world, but don't let them keep breaking the law and just sucking taxpayers dry of funds.

972
00:50:31,180 --> 00:50:31,940
Get the bad guys.

973
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:32,780
Get the bad guys.

974
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,780
I understand there are different levels of bad in this thing that are illegal than others.

975
00:50:37,100 --> 00:50:41,000
We're not saying that every single one of them should be round up the scot.

976
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:43,980
Or have mercy.

977
00:50:43,980 --> 00:50:47,020
But they don't understand the freedom of speech.

978
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:48,760
They don't understand the freedom of religion.

979
00:50:50,100 --> 00:50:52,060
They overstep their bounds in this.

980
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:56,400
And you think about, I don't know, of course, who the ICE agent was,

981
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,160
but this guy's just a guy who's out there doing his job.

982
00:50:59,340 --> 00:51:00,720
He's doing what he's told to do.

983
00:51:00,820 --> 00:51:02,080
Trying not to get killed by him.

984
00:51:02,500 --> 00:51:02,780
Yeah.

985
00:51:05,060 --> 00:51:06,460
And he was being stalked.

986
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:07,980
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.

987
00:51:08,500 --> 00:51:14,080
They had a raid earlier this week where there was some people,

988
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:16,020
illegals that were arrested.

989
00:51:17,780 --> 00:51:24,300
and actually ended up knowing one family that a mom got taken

990
00:51:25,220 --> 00:51:28,860
and who had been working her way to become legal

991
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,140
but hadn't done it in a timely manner,

992
00:51:31,380 --> 00:51:33,320
hadn't done it in the space that she was supposed to.

993
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:35,760
And she got caught up in it.

994
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,300
It's like Nicole and I were talking about.

995
00:51:38,300 --> 00:51:41,200
Everybody was saying, well, they need to go after the bad guys.

996
00:51:41,240 --> 00:51:43,080
They need to go after the ones that are causing problems.

997
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:44,820
Well, that's what Nacosa said.

998
00:51:45,380 --> 00:51:46,000
That's what they're doing.

999
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:47,900
They are going after those guys.

1000
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,040
And some of these people are collateral damage.

1001
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,520
Not that they're innocent because they still are illegal.

1002
00:51:54,140 --> 00:51:54,720
You know what I'm saying?

1003
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:55,820
They still broke the law.

1004
00:51:55,900 --> 00:51:56,980
But they still broke the law.

1005
00:51:57,500 --> 00:52:02,240
It might be somebody that they wouldn't try to go after and say, oh, they're causing issues and problems.

1006
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:06,540
But when you're in the middle of it, in the area that they were in, they raided them.

1007
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:07,380
They stopped her.

1008
00:52:07,940 --> 00:52:09,040
She didn't have her paperwork.

1009
00:52:09,420 --> 00:52:10,840
She didn't have the proper stuff.

1010
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:12,160
And she got pulled out, too.

1011
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,020
And I don't think anybody would argue that the laws need to be changed.

1012
00:52:15,260 --> 00:52:22,820
I've known several people in my working career who immigrated here from either Finland or somewhere else in Europe, and it took forever.

1013
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,860
It was just a nightmare of paperwork to become a citizen.

1014
00:52:25,860 --> 00:52:26,800
Yeah, the time space.

1015
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:27,420
It's often.

1016
00:52:28,720 --> 00:52:29,360
It's expensive.

1017
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:29,880
It is.

1018
00:52:30,220 --> 00:52:32,820
And they need to find a way to fix that.

1019
00:52:33,180 --> 00:52:33,900
I get that.

1020
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,640
Goodness gracious, don't just flood the border with illegal people.

1021
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:39,640
And who knows who's come in here.

1022
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,460
Well, because we've got all these crime rate that's going up.

1023
00:52:43,460 --> 00:52:47,580
And again, there's as many good in them as there is good in us, right?

1024
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,440
There's bad that's good in all races.

1025
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:56,200
But the problem is we can't filter that at the border because they're all coming in.

1026
00:52:56,260 --> 00:52:59,200
And you've got cartel and all these people coming in.

1027
00:53:00,620 --> 00:53:03,260
And so the rapes are going up.

1028
00:53:03,820 --> 00:53:10,340
the stealing young girls and children, that's going through the roof.

1029
00:53:10,340 --> 00:53:15,800
They're abducting them left and right and putting them in these places for sex slaves

1030
00:53:15,890 --> 00:53:17,280
and all those kinds of things.

1031
00:53:17,820 --> 00:53:20,200
That's really where a lot of this got started at

1032
00:53:20,750 --> 00:53:24,000
and the reason that they started this whole thing.

1033
00:53:24,370 --> 00:53:27,240
And again, any time you have something like that happen,

1034
00:53:27,380 --> 00:53:29,220
there's going to be some collateral damage.

1035
00:53:29,450 --> 00:53:33,780
And I started to say the bad thing is when you're targeting people,

1036
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:54,760
When you're going out of your way to go after those kind of people that are doing those kind of horrible things, if you are crazy enough to put yourself in the middle of it while you are also breaking the law, even if you're not doing any of the other things these people are doing, but you're breaking the law and I see them going after somebody like that, I'm going to go, hey guys, good job.

1037
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:59,680
I'm going to go slowly walk my way over here so hopefully you don't notice me and I'm going to cheer you on while you do it.

1038
00:54:00,180 --> 00:54:07,920
I mean, these people have a problem with Christians like us that they want to sit on their moral high horse and say, well, love, love, love, love, love.

1039
00:54:08,260 --> 00:54:09,500
Well, God is holy.

1040
00:54:09,860 --> 00:54:10,260
He's just.

1041
00:54:10,700 --> 00:54:13,260
He's called us to be law-abiding citizens.

1042
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:14,200
Absolutely.

1043
00:54:14,500 --> 00:54:19,820
We all ought to be law-abiding citizens where possible where it doesn't interfere with his law.

1044
00:54:19,980 --> 00:54:20,080
Absolutely.

1045
00:54:20,380 --> 00:54:25,480
And the thing is, you know, that's one of the things that's the beauty of the United States is we have freedom of religion.

1046
00:54:25,540 --> 00:54:27,460
We have freedom of speech, freedom of the press.

1047
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:31,840
all the things that we're exercising right now, the ability to do things like this,

1048
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,600
that does not exist in most other countries.

1049
00:54:36,140 --> 00:54:37,380
It does not exist.

1050
00:54:37,620 --> 00:54:42,620
And the sad thing is we have people right here in this country that think it shouldn't exist here.

1051
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,680
And they want freedom of speech for their speech, but not for other speech.

1052
00:54:46,790 --> 00:54:47,980
And I'm like, come on, guys.

1053
00:54:48,130 --> 00:54:52,740
They want freedom of religion for Islam, but they don't want freedom of religion for Christianity.

1054
00:54:52,890 --> 00:54:55,980
And I'm like, no, freedom of religion is freedom of religion.

1055
00:54:56,160 --> 00:55:01,820
We all are free to worship and we are free and we maintain that freedom as long as we don't interfere with other people.

1056
00:55:02,420 --> 00:55:09,760
You will never hear me as a Christian argue that we should round up the Muslims and throw them in jail for their worship.

1057
00:55:10,860 --> 00:55:17,260
You will hear me say that if I see them walking down the street with a bomb strapped to their chest, we should make sure they go to jail and hopefully don't explode.

1058
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,600
But that has nothing to do with the fact that they happen to be Muslim.

1059
00:55:21,220 --> 00:55:27,640
I mean, it's not hard, and I don't understand why so many of these people are so caught up on it.

1060
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:33,240
Because, again, I was horrified to find out that in Texas they have entire communities out there

1061
00:55:33,290 --> 00:55:38,620
that are operating with, outside the law, Sharia courts operating in these neighborhoods,

1062
00:55:39,540 --> 00:55:43,740
and the courts are accepting the rulings.

1063
00:55:43,870 --> 00:55:46,140
And I'm like, I mean, look at New York City.

1064
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,400
We've got a new mayor in New York City that is Muslim.

1065
00:55:48,420 --> 00:55:48,840
He's Muslim.

1066
00:55:48,940 --> 00:55:50,880
And he is not only Muslim.

1067
00:55:51,180 --> 00:55:52,520
Openly said he wants to re-law.

1068
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:53,600
Yeah, absolutely.

1069
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:57,300
I mean, he is 100% Muslim, right?

1070
00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:59,960
And listen, I'll just be honest with you.

1071
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,240
I know that there's peacekeeping Muslims out there.

1072
00:56:02,340 --> 00:56:06,380
There's people who follow their religion, and they're not out there causing trouble.

1073
00:56:06,780 --> 00:56:12,920
But the religion itself is evil against every other man.

1074
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:13,860
It's true to it.

1075
00:56:14,140 --> 00:56:15,620
Kill the infidel, right?

1076
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,420
I mean, that's what the Muslim religion is like.

1077
00:56:18,780 --> 00:56:22,920
And when we open ourselves up to say, oh, you know, let's accept it.

1078
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,140
Look, and again, we've got freedom of religion.

1079
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:27,060
I get that.

1080
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,720
But when the line is stepped over and we start letting these people come in

1081
00:56:31,100 --> 00:56:33,540
and they take over government and they take over positions.

1082
00:56:33,580 --> 00:56:35,240
You have a problem.

1083
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,440
I mean, you think about how much power the mayor.

1084
00:56:38,380 --> 00:56:40,000
It's not like the mayor of Fort Payne.

1085
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:42,700
Forgive me, mayor of Fort Payne right now.

1086
00:56:43,820 --> 00:56:44,900
Brian, you do a good job.

1087
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:56,520
But when you think about the mayor of New York, I mean, that is a high political position with a lot of power and a lot of influence.

1088
00:56:56,720 --> 00:57:05,020
And then you've got people out there that are just like, you know, so heavily influenced that whatever he says is whatever they're going to do.

1089
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:06,420
I mean, that's a communist.

1090
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,020
Yes, he is a communist.

1091
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,740
These people, I worry about the city because these people elected that guy.

1092
00:57:12,060 --> 00:57:12,720
I know.

1093
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:13,900
They voted for that guy.

1094
00:57:13,900 --> 00:57:15,140
They had horrible choices.

1095
00:57:15,460 --> 00:57:16,460
Knowing these things.

1096
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:18,120
I mean, all this stuff was out there.

1097
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,520
I'm reading about it much before he even gets elected.

1098
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:26,480
And everything pointed to the fact that this guy was fixing to get elected.

1099
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:27,600
And they did.

1100
00:57:27,860 --> 00:57:28,200
They did.

1101
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,000
Yeah, and these people have no knowledge of history.

1102
00:57:31,070 --> 00:57:35,220
They don't see how communism and socialism wrecked the whole 20th century.

1103
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:35,720
Absolutely.

1104
00:57:35,790 --> 00:57:38,780
I mean, millions of people died out of this thing under Lenin and Stalin.

1105
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:43,140
And if this thing could work, Lenin and Stalin would have made it work because they had the power for it.

1106
00:57:43,380 --> 00:57:44,200
They don't look at Cuba.

1107
00:57:44,380 --> 00:57:45,340
They don't look at Venezuela.

1108
00:57:45,390 --> 00:57:50,600
They don't talk to people from Venezuela who have lived under that garbage and eaten out of dumpsters and landfills.

1109
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:51,120
That's right.

1110
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,180
Why don't these people understand this stuff and can't get this?

1111
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:57,740
It's universities that have brainwashed these people.

1112
00:57:57,870 --> 00:58:01,540
Because like we were talking about earlier, most of these people are very educated.

1113
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:02,060
Yes.

1114
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:03,780
Very educated, but they've been brainwashed.

1115
00:58:03,780 --> 00:58:04,220
Yeah, yeah.

1116
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:11,780
Have a conversation sometime with some of the Cuban and Colombian immigrants that we have here in the United States that have legally immigrated.

1117
00:58:11,980 --> 00:58:12,400
They're here.

1118
00:58:12,580 --> 00:58:13,540
They've become citizens.

1119
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:16,280
Ask some of them sometime if you ever get an opportunity.

1120
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:18,740
Hey, what are your thoughts on the country you came from?

1121
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:23,480
And they will almost universally, those two countries, Colombia and Cuba, are paradises.

1122
00:58:24,100 --> 00:58:26,040
Like where they're located, they can grow anything.

1123
00:58:26,260 --> 00:58:32,080
They can, well, not just for vacate, like for living there, like as far as like what the land is capable of providing.

1124
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:33,500
You can grow anything.

1125
00:58:33,820 --> 00:58:38,000
You can, you have, the wildlife is very mild.

1126
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:42,180
There's not like things that are trying to kill you every time you turn around, like the rest of South America.

1127
00:58:42,420 --> 00:58:49,360
Or you go out to Australia, those guys, like, you're careful walking down the street because there are spiders there that will cause your leg to fall off.

1128
00:58:49,660 --> 00:58:50,980
And they don't have stuff like that.

1129
00:58:51,140 --> 00:58:56,420
It's literally that little section of that part of the ocean is just paradise.

1130
00:58:57,820 --> 00:59:03,400
And yet people are fleeing it in droves and will tell you, I never want to go back.

1131
00:59:03,620 --> 00:59:05,960
Shark-infested waters in a homemade raft.

1132
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:06,340
Yes.

1133
00:59:06,500 --> 00:59:07,220
How bad is it?

1134
00:59:07,340 --> 00:59:09,500
They're taking that much of a chance.

1135
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:12,480
You're leaving paradise to come to Florida.

1136
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:12,900
Yeah.

1137
00:59:13,020 --> 00:59:16,600
And Venezuela was once one of the richest countries in the world.

1138
00:59:16,700 --> 00:59:18,820
They're sitting on the largest oil deposit in the world.

1139
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:19,320
Yes.

1140
00:59:19,540 --> 00:59:22,120
Bigger than any of the stuff in the Middle East.

1141
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:22,420
Right.

1142
00:59:22,630 --> 00:59:22,740
Yeah.

1143
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:24,640
And they just squandered it.

1144
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:28,720
You know, it goes back to that old communist, what was it, Animal Farm.

1145
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:30,260
We had to read that when we were kids.

1146
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:30,920
Oh, yes.

1147
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,920
And one of the leaders said, well, some are more equal than others.

1148
00:59:34,260 --> 00:59:34,540
Yeah.

1149
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:34,900
Yeah.

1150
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:35,300
Yeah.

1151
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:37,080
They're talking about equality and all those jokes.

1152
00:59:37,500 --> 00:59:37,660
Yeah.

1153
00:59:38,060 --> 00:59:41,000
The richest are the government employees at the very top.

1154
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:41,340
Absolutely.

1155
00:59:41,710 --> 00:59:43,260
And everybody else is eating out of the landfill.

1156
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:44,820
They're getting scavengers.

1157
00:59:45,670 --> 00:59:47,520
It starts out that all animals are equal.

1158
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,320
All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.

1159
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:54,540
Four legs good, two legs bad, four legs good, two legs better.

1160
00:59:54,820 --> 00:59:55,220
Wait a minute.

1161
00:59:55,290 --> 00:59:56,260
What just happened here?

1162
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:56,600
Yeah.

1163
00:59:56,810 --> 00:59:56,960
Yeah.

1164
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,420
And the sheep just keep chanting the slogans.

1165
00:59:59,660 --> 01:00:01,180
But we're going that way in this country.

1166
01:00:01,460 --> 01:00:04,140
And this all comes back, and I believe this with all my heart,

1167
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:08,500
that probably 20, 30 years ago, God took his hand of blessing off this country.

1168
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:09,020
I agree.

1169
01:00:09,260 --> 01:00:12,920
And I don't know if it's gone away slowly, but right now you see the division in this country

1170
01:00:13,500 --> 01:00:16,320
and how we've gone down that Romans 1 pathway.

1171
01:00:16,580 --> 01:00:16,880
Absolutely.

1172
01:00:17,700 --> 01:00:19,660
And that's the same path that the U.S. is on.

1173
01:00:19,780 --> 01:00:20,000
Absolutely.

1174
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:30,900
The things that we adhere to now, the things that we blindly obey and walk into now

1175
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:34,540
are so much different than they were even 50 years ago.

1176
01:00:35,590 --> 01:00:37,200
And it's dangerous.

1177
01:00:37,690 --> 01:00:38,700
It's very dangerous.

1178
01:00:39,620 --> 01:00:42,980
I've heard, you know, do we think that,

1179
01:00:43,350 --> 01:00:44,680
I may have mentioned this in here before,

1180
01:00:44,980 --> 01:00:46,300
but I heard somebody say,

1181
01:00:46,300 --> 01:00:52,720
do you think that AIDS was a punishment for, you know,

1182
01:00:52,740 --> 01:00:57,760
us turning away from God and people becoming homosexual?

1183
01:00:58,260 --> 01:01:05,140
I mean, I think everything that happened is, I mean, is God taking his hand off of us and just letting things go.

1184
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:10,220
Like, hey, if you want to live like this, then I'll turn you over to a reprobate mind and you can live like this.

1185
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,940
And whatever happens after that, you've brought your own punishment on yourself.

1186
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:15,520
Just live that life.

1187
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:15,840
Yeah.

1188
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:22,000
I truly believe that, yes, there are times that God sends a specific punishment for things.

1189
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:33,200
But the vast majority of things that are wrong on the earth today are because God designed the world to work a certain way.

1190
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:37,720
Adam and Eve made a decision, broke things, sent it into the world.

1191
01:01:37,860 --> 01:01:44,660
And from there on, God allows it to do what it does because he literally put the rules in place to work the way it works.

1192
01:01:45,300 --> 01:01:52,400
And when we reject him and when we reject everything, he just goes, okay, I've been blocking part of these rules.

1193
01:01:52,660 --> 01:01:54,460
I've been blocking part of these things that can happen.

1194
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:59,280
I've been blocking the degradation of the DNA so that you're not falling apart left and right.

1195
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:01,280
Okay, I'm going to take my hand off that because you ate of the fruit.

1196
01:02:01,460 --> 01:02:03,560
Now you're going to start falling apart and you're aging and dying.

1197
01:02:03,650 --> 01:02:08,960
And the telomeres of your DNA are going to break down every time they multiply and every time they replicate within your body.

1198
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,880
And you're just getting older and older, whereas you weren't doing that before.

1199
01:02:11,970 --> 01:02:13,160
And he removes his hand from it.

1200
01:02:13,700 --> 01:02:18,780
the process was already in place and God just went, I'm stopping it.

1201
01:02:19,540 --> 01:02:21,440
And now I'm not, and now I'm not.

1202
01:02:21,540 --> 01:02:24,200
And so I think a lot of these diseases and stuff are just where God's gone.

1203
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:24,400
Okay.

1204
01:02:24,540 --> 01:02:27,300
I'm going to stop blocking this thing from happening because you're making

1205
01:02:27,370 --> 01:02:28,460
some really bad decisions.

1206
01:02:30,579 --> 01:02:32,480
And at the end of the day, it's your choice.

1207
01:02:32,900 --> 01:02:33,000
Right.

1208
01:02:33,220 --> 01:02:33,340
Yeah.

1209
01:02:33,580 --> 01:02:36,380
And it's, it's clear from scripture that he not only judges individuals,

1210
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:37,520
but he judges nations.

1211
01:02:37,530 --> 01:02:37,820
He does.

1212
01:02:37,940 --> 01:02:38,160
Yes.

1213
01:02:38,230 --> 01:02:38,780
Yeah, absolutely.

1214
01:02:38,900 --> 01:02:39,080
Absolutely.

1215
01:02:39,859 --> 01:02:41,340
Nations can fall under his judgment.

1216
01:02:41,540 --> 01:02:42,300
I think it's here.

1217
01:02:42,620 --> 01:02:43,140
Judges nations.

1218
01:02:43,180 --> 01:02:48,360
blesses nations right yeah yeah as a whole i think he blessed us so much yeah you know world war ii

1219
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:52,260
and that period after that we became the richest country that's ever existed we still are

1220
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:58,200
but man it's scary considering how far in day we are and then we see the new testament that

1221
01:02:58,580 --> 01:03:03,460
he blinded a whole nation right yes israel itself is blinded now that doesn't mean

1222
01:03:04,180 --> 01:03:08,380
the thing is when he does that towards nations that there there are individuals that are good

1223
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:16,360
and right and you know in like there's individual um uh men and women of of israel uh yeah like the

1224
01:03:16,460 --> 01:03:22,540
guys who went to babylon yeah daniel right yeah yeah that uh that stood up and stood out and

1225
01:03:22,940 --> 01:03:30,080
and uh and were were men of god right and women of god so they and today right those individual

1226
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:38,340
people can be saved right but the nation as a whole is still blinded right and i yeah i'm

1227
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:42,760
right there with you. I think God's already taken his hand off and who Lord, when he takes his hand

1228
01:03:42,820 --> 01:03:47,920
off the whole world, it gets bad. It gets real bad, real fast. The stars are not going to stay in

1229
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:52,940
place or meteors or anything else when God doesn't, he's like, okay. Yep. You know, there it is.

1230
01:03:53,490 --> 01:03:59,140
I mean, yeah, the whole universe at some point is going to be, I mean, when we get to the end of

1231
01:03:59,260 --> 01:04:03,480
this, that's what's coming. And everybody talks about, you know, oh, well, you know, everything,

1232
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:05,020
this happened, that happened.

1233
01:04:05,180 --> 01:04:07,660
No, it tells us very explicitly how it all ends.

1234
01:04:08,180 --> 01:04:10,660
And it is with a great noise and it is with fire

1235
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,580
and it is with heat and noise.

1236
01:04:13,820 --> 01:04:15,360
And it is a very loud thing.

1237
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:18,320
You know, you're concerned about the Big Bang that started it.

1238
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:20,080
I'm more worried about the Big Bang coming at the end.

1239
01:04:20,740 --> 01:04:22,700
Because what do you reckon heat and great noise is?

1240
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:25,560
It's an explosion like nothing the universe has ever seen.

1241
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,080
And then on the other side of it is a whole new universe.

1242
01:04:28,380 --> 01:04:29,880
I'm going to be standing up there watching it.

1243
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:30,200
Yeah.

1244
01:04:31,140 --> 01:04:32,820
I mean, it's going to be, I mean, from, oh yeah,

1245
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,120
From our standpoint in heaven, we're going to see a firework.

1246
01:04:35,460 --> 01:04:35,600
Yeah.

1247
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:36,240
Boom.

1248
01:04:36,500 --> 01:04:36,700
Boom.

1249
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:37,720
It's all new.

1250
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:39,500
True.

1251
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:41,700
So we wrap up this week.

1252
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,240
We're on Revelation 9-1 for next week.

1253
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:45,820
We will pick back up there.

1254
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:48,920
And yeah, this is where it gets rough.

1255
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:54,560
The angel has just told us, whoa, whoa, whoa, because of these trumpets that are about to be blown.

1256
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,160
And yeah, it gets rough.

1257
01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:58,340
It gets rough really fast.

1258
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:03,960
So maybe if you happen to be with your kids, don't keep tuning in for a little bit.

1259
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:07,520
You might want to, if they're real young, keep them where you listen to this outside of earshot,

1260
01:05:07,620 --> 01:05:10,520
because this can get a little bit scary if you're really young.

1261
01:05:11,260 --> 01:05:15,680
But hey, if you've got older kids, we are blessed by hearing this.

1262
01:05:15,700 --> 01:05:17,760
We are blessed by understanding this and knowing what's coming.

1263
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,000
So God gave it to us, and we need to understand it.

1264
01:05:21,220 --> 01:05:28,860
So Revelation 9-1 next week, if you want to read ahead, I urge you to read ahead and be prepared for it.

1265
01:05:28,900 --> 01:05:35,180
it. Yeah. Buckle up. Buckle up. That's right. All right. And, uh, brother Dennis, I think I'll

1266
01:05:35,380 --> 01:05:39,860
turn it over and let you, uh, say the blessing to dismiss us tonight. All right. Father in heaven,

1267
01:05:40,100 --> 01:05:43,880
thank you so much for this time together here with my brothers and father. I pray for,

1268
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:48,720
for everyone listening father, that you would pour out your blessings on them, that they might

1269
01:05:49,060 --> 01:05:56,020
see you for who you are, that you are so awesome and so beautiful and so wonderful to us. Father,

1270
01:05:56,160 --> 01:06:00,540
Your love is unmatched, your peace, your joy that you give us.

1271
01:06:00,540 --> 01:06:04,200
And, Father, the promises that you've made to us for eternal life

1272
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:08,820
and that you've gone to prepare a place for us and you're going to bring us to you.

1273
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:11,180
Father, thank you for all these things.

1274
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:14,440
And, Father, I pray for everyone listening that they would hear these warnings

1275
01:06:14,740 --> 01:06:18,060
that are being put out out of your word.

1276
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:24,460
Father, that they might repent and turn toward you where life really is.

1277
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:26,040
Father, thank you.

1278
01:06:26,220 --> 01:06:27,920
And Father, I lift up this nation.

1279
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:29,500
This nation is divided.

1280
01:06:29,980 --> 01:06:31,940
And Father, we pray for a revival.

1281
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:34,900
The likes of which that has never been seen before,

1282
01:06:35,300 --> 01:06:38,180
that we would just, so many people would just turn to you

1283
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:40,700
and see your goodness and see your mercy,

1284
01:06:40,860 --> 01:06:42,780
experience your mercy in Christ Jesus.

1285
01:06:43,740 --> 01:06:46,040
Father, I pray for your protection and your blessings

1286
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:48,700
as we go about our way and come back here next week.

1287
01:06:48,820 --> 01:06:50,280
In Jesus' name, amen.

1288
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:50,680
Amen.

1289
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:50,840
Amen.
