1
00:01:11,988 --> 00:01:14,657
And welcome back this week.

2
00:01:14,741 --> 00:01:16,284
Starting a little bit late.

3
00:01:16,367 --> 00:01:18,286
Brother Brian's running a little late on us.

4
00:01:18,328 --> 00:01:20,330
We decided we're going to go ahead and get started without him.

5
00:01:20,413 --> 00:01:21,456
He'll be all right.

6
00:01:21,581 --> 00:01:22,540
He'll be all right.

7
00:01:22,582 --> 00:01:24,250
Got this, man.

8
00:01:24,334 --> 00:01:26,419
How you doing tonight, brother Dennis?

9
00:01:26,503 --> 00:01:27,378
I'm doing good.

10
00:01:27,462 --> 00:01:27,962
doing good, man.

11
00:01:28,046 --> 00:01:29,964
I'm a, man, it's cold.

12
00:01:30,048 --> 00:01:30,924
It's windy.

13
00:01:31,007 --> 00:01:32,383
Look who's coming there.

14
00:01:32,425 --> 00:01:32,884
Look at that.

15
00:01:32,967 --> 00:01:33,802
Look at that.

16
00:01:33,885 --> 00:01:34,594
Yeah.

17
00:01:34,636 --> 00:01:36,554
We were just saying we didn't need you, man.

18
00:01:36,638 --> 00:01:40,391
I agree. better off.

19
00:01:40,475 --> 00:01:42,143
No, man.

20
00:01:42,227 --> 00:01:43,520
No, man, I'm doing good.

21
00:01:43,603 --> 00:01:45,438
We were talking a little bit about walking stairs.

22
00:01:45,522 --> 00:01:48,483
I need to do that some more because, you know, that ski trip's coming up next week.

23
00:01:48,566 --> 00:01:51,528
And I'm a little afraid what's going

24
00:01:51,569 --> 00:01:55,198
 to happen there, but I hope I don't want to come back with a limp, you know.

25
00:01:55,281 --> 00:01:56,533
Definitely not.

26
00:01:56,658 --> 00:01:57,909
Pickleball with us this week.

27
00:01:57,992 --> 00:01:59,536
Hey, there you go.

28
00:01:59,619 --> 00:02:01,538
You got you got a setup out there?

29
00:02:01,579 --> 00:02:02,705
Oh, nice.

30
00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:03,540
Yeah, yeah.

31
00:02:03,623 --> 00:02:06,709
We got to take it down for Wednesday night, but we got it set up, yeah.

32
00:02:06,793 --> 00:02:07,210
Nice.

33
00:02:07,293 --> 00:02:10,672
We played Saturday and they played yesterday afternoon a little bit.

34
00:02:10,755 --> 00:02:11,339
Okay.

35
00:02:11,422 --> 00:02:12,382
All right.

36
00:02:12,465 --> 00:02:15,510
I told him, just come up here and he

37
00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:16,761
 can run up these stairs all he wants.

38
00:02:16,845 --> 00:02:17,804
Yeah, yeah.

39
00:02:17,846 --> 00:02:21,474
I'd get down them a lot faster, not get up them, probably.

40
00:02:21,558 --> 00:02:25,061
Hey, all you got all you got to do is just kind of, you know, tuck and roll.

41
00:02:25,186 --> 00:02:26,646
Yep, yep, yep.

42
00:02:26,729 --> 00:02:28,940
And how are you doing tonight, brother Brian?

43
00:02:29,065 --> 00:02:29,899
Well, I'm doing pretty good.

44
00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:32,485
I'm just, you know, just got that mess.

45
00:02:32,527 --> 00:02:35,613
I'm talking through my nose and stuffed

46
00:02:35,655 --> 00:02:37,073
 up and I feel good.

47
00:02:37,157 --> 00:02:38,700
Other than that.

48
00:02:38,867 --> 00:02:42,203
Going from 16 degrees to 70 degrees back to 16.

49
00:02:42,370 --> 00:02:43,663
Yeah, that's just back and forth.

50
00:02:43,705 --> 00:02:46,374
So I was like, well, flonays will help clear that up.

51
00:02:46,457 --> 00:02:49,502
Yeah, I've been hitting that and then I thought, you know,

52
00:02:49,544 --> 00:02:52,714
 I started having a coffin spell right before I was on my way up here.

53
00:02:52,755 --> 00:02:55,842
And I was like, I'm going to have to go get something.

54
00:02:55,967 --> 00:02:59,012
At least you didn't sleep over, you know?

55
00:02:59,053 --> 00:03:02,557
I wasn't asleep.

56
00:03:02,682 --> 00:03:04,100
I was doom scrolling.

57
00:03:04,183 --> 00:03:05,852
That's even water some, man.

58
00:03:05,894 --> 00:03:08,021
I agree.

59
00:03:08,146 --> 00:03:09,147
I agree.

60
00:03:09,188 --> 00:03:10,857
Of all the things to admit to.

61
00:03:10,940 --> 00:03:13,902
But you know, I tell you, I saw, I did see

62
00:03:13,943 --> 00:03:17,822
 a, uh, person was talking about a study that recently came out.

63
00:03:17,906 --> 00:03:21,242
Apparently, Gen Z is officially

64
00:03:21,284 --> 00:03:24,454
 the 1st generation that is less intelligent than the generation

65
00:03:24,454 --> 00:03:27,498
 prior to them, and they, the doctors and

66
00:03:27,498 --> 00:03:30,460
 everybody that did the study pretty much chalks it up to all the, all the

67
00:03:30,501 --> 00:03:32,879
 time they've spent on their tablets and phones.

68
00:03:32,962 --> 00:03:36,132
Yeah, like, and when I say that, I say that joke,

69
00:03:36,132 --> 00:03:39,177
 and I laugh at it when I say it, but literally like the IQ scores are

70
00:03:39,218 --> 00:03:42,263
 lower, the attention scores are lower, the ability

71
00:03:42,263 --> 00:03:43,806
 to remember things is lower.

72
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:45,683
It's like, that's not good.

73
00:03:45,767 --> 00:03:47,977
The ability to make an income.

74
00:03:48,019 --> 00:03:49,562
is lower.

75
00:03:49,646 --> 00:03:50,605
for some, definitely.

76
00:03:50,647 --> 00:03:53,316
Yeah, well, that's the funny thing about Gen Z.

77
00:03:53,441 --> 00:03:57,153
Some of them can't make an income and some of them just, you know, put stuff on YouTube and,

78
00:03:57,153 --> 00:04:00,114
 like, never have to worry about what, you know, where their next

79
00:04:00,156 --> 00:04:01,574
 paycheck's gonna come from.

80
00:04:01,658 --> 00:04:02,909
I'm like, what, how did that happen?

81
00:04:02,951 --> 00:04:04,118
Oh, yeah.

82
00:04:04,243 --> 00:04:06,663
Was it only fans or something?

83
00:04:06,746 --> 00:04:08,957
That's a different, that's a whole different kind of video.

84
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,668
That'll be a show for another day.

85
00:04:11,709 --> 00:04:14,921
Oh man.

86
00:04:15,046 --> 00:04:16,464
All right.

87
00:04:16,547 --> 00:04:18,800
Well, not that I know anything about it.

88
00:04:18,883 --> 00:04:20,551
It probably could tie into this.

89
00:04:20,593 --> 00:04:22,804
I start saying that.

90
00:04:22,887 --> 00:04:23,846
I'm betting it can.

91
00:04:23,888 --> 00:04:24,639
Correlation 13.

92
00:04:24,931 --> 00:04:25,098
Yeah.

93
00:04:25,181 --> 00:04:26,057
definitely can.

94
00:04:26,140 --> 00:04:27,976
Oh, man.

95
00:04:28,059 --> 00:04:31,020
Well, that brings us to we are doing Revelation

96
00:04:31,062 --> 00:04:32,063
 13 tonight.

97
00:04:32,146 --> 00:04:35,233
We starting with 131 again, which is nice to start on a

98
00:04:35,233 --> 00:04:37,193
 start at the start of a chapter.

99
00:04:37,276 --> 00:04:40,321
So, uh, I guess we'll just take it away,

100
00:04:40,363 --> 00:04:42,156
 whichever one of you won't start reading.

101
00:04:42,198 --> 00:04:43,366
Yeah.

102
00:04:43,408 --> 00:04:45,785
Hey, this one's got this one's a little goofy.

103
00:04:45,868 --> 00:04:49,205
Depends on which version of the Bible you're looking at.

104
00:04:49,288 --> 00:04:52,166
as to what the 1st 1st says.

105
00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:52,792
Yeah.

106
00:04:52,834 --> 00:04:56,004
Mine is a near American standard.

107
00:04:56,087 --> 00:04:58,881
Oh, I'm not even in the right one.

108
00:04:58,965 --> 00:05:02,593
I'm trying to look up a Bible here on my phone, a different version,

109
00:05:02,593 --> 00:05:05,555
 but mine is mine starts out with, and the dragon stood on

110
00:05:05,596 --> 00:05:06,764
 the sand of the seashore.

111
00:05:06,848 --> 00:05:10,184
Well, that's part of verse 17 of the previous chapter in some versions.

112
00:05:10,268 --> 00:05:11,686
Yes.

113
00:05:11,769 --> 00:05:12,895
Yeah.

114
00:05:12,979 --> 00:05:15,481
It's kind of weird how it's broken up like that.

115
00:05:15,565 --> 00:05:16,149
Right, right.

116
00:05:16,232 --> 00:05:19,694
Yeah, the uh, the new uh, new English translation

117
00:05:19,694 --> 00:05:23,156
 that I typically use, um, that one, the

118
00:05:23,197 --> 00:05:26,492
 previous verse ends with,

119
00:05:26,492 --> 00:05:31,080
 uh, or the previous chapter, uh, here it is.

120
00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:34,625
ends with, and the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore.

121
00:05:34,751 --> 00:05:37,837
And then, of course, like you say, the, the,

122
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:40,965
 I know the NIV is the other one I have up here says the dragon

123
00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:42,050
 stood on the shore of the sea.

124
00:05:42,133 --> 00:05:45,219
Now, the interesting thing is what the Kings

125
00:05:45,261 --> 00:05:46,387
 James version says.

126
00:05:46,471 --> 00:05:49,515
And I stood upon

127
00:05:49,515 --> 00:05:50,516
 the sand of the sea.

128
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,559
Yeah.

129
00:05:51,559 --> 00:05:54,228
So in that version, John did it.

130
00:05:54,270 --> 00:05:57,315
In other versions, it's the dragon that he sees

131
00:05:57,315 --> 00:05:58,441
 standing on the shore.

132
00:05:58,524 --> 00:05:59,233
Yeah.

133
00:05:59,233 --> 00:06:02,278
Well, I think I think the, the, the language here

134
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,823
 in the King James is that he was right there when

135
00:06:05,865 --> 00:06:09,035
 it happened and and he's seen the same,

136
00:06:09,035 --> 00:06:11,037
 the beast also was was standing there.

137
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,332
No,

138
00:06:14,374 --> 00:06:17,710
 the inner linear, which is the Greek,

139
00:06:17,710 --> 00:06:21,422
 does not have that, it has it as the end of chapter 12.

140
00:06:21,881 --> 00:06:24,550
So that would be the dragon on the seashore, right?

141
00:06:24,634 --> 00:06:26,719
That's the context of the last verse there.

142
00:06:26,803 --> 00:06:28,513
Anyway.

143
00:06:28,638 --> 00:06:31,599
Uh, and then, and then the,

144
00:06:31,641 --> 00:06:34,811
 the, uh, the Tree of Life version, which is the messianic

145
00:06:34,811 --> 00:06:37,772
 Jewish version, uh, says then I saw

146
00:06:37,814 --> 00:06:40,775
 a beast rising out of the sea and

147
00:06:40,817 --> 00:06:43,152
 had 10 horns and yeah, we'll get into that.

148
00:06:43,236 --> 00:06:44,529
So that starts, yeah.

149
00:06:44,612 --> 00:06:45,071
yeah, yeah.

150
00:06:45,154 --> 00:06:48,241
So it's really just, uh, who's, who's, who's this concerning?

151
00:06:48,324 --> 00:06:49,367
Is it John or the dragon?

152
00:06:49,450 --> 00:06:49,784
Yeah, right?

153
00:06:49,867 --> 00:06:53,746
So I'll take it to mean the dragon was on the sand of the seashore.

154
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:56,791
I've always

155
00:06:56,833 --> 00:06:58,751
 taken it to be that John was present.

156
00:06:58,835 --> 00:07:02,547
He was right there and the dragon was actually rising

157
00:07:02,547 --> 00:07:06,551
 out of the sea and it was putting its, you know, foot on the...

158
00:07:06,551 --> 00:07:10,471
Well, when we're dealing with a beast, too, because verse 2 says, and the beast, you know.

159
00:07:10,513 --> 00:07:11,556
Oh, well, that's true.

160
00:07:11,681 --> 00:07:13,599
It's a beast, dragon, and the beast.

161
00:07:13,641 --> 00:07:14,475
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

162
00:07:14,559 --> 00:07:15,685
So, yeah.

163
00:07:15,726 --> 00:07:18,479
Well let's read it.

164
00:07:18,563 --> 00:07:19,439
Let's read.

165
00:07:19,522 --> 00:07:20,982
But sorry, sorry for that.

166
00:07:21,107 --> 00:07:21,691
No, that's okay.

167
00:07:21,732 --> 00:07:22,567
That's true.

168
00:07:22,650 --> 00:07:26,362
And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore, wherever you want to put that.

169
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:29,407
Then I saw a beast coming up out of the

170
00:07:29,407 --> 00:07:32,869
 sea, having 10 horns and 7 heads,

171
00:07:32,910 --> 00:07:35,997
 and on his horns were 10 diadems,

172
00:07:36,038 --> 00:07:38,666
 and on his heads were blasphemous names.

173
00:07:38,708 --> 00:07:41,085
Now, visualize this in your head.

174
00:07:41,169 --> 00:07:42,879
It's kind of hard to do.

175
00:07:43,004 --> 00:07:44,589
It's kind of hard to do.

176
00:07:44,672 --> 00:07:47,425
So you got a dragon and you got a beast.

177
00:07:47,550 --> 00:07:48,509
Right, right.

178
00:07:48,551 --> 00:07:48,885
Yeah.

179
00:07:48,968 --> 00:07:52,597
And and and Satan brings this thing up out of the sea, right?

180
00:07:52,722 --> 00:07:55,892
This, uh, and it's,

181
00:07:55,892 --> 00:07:58,144
 you know, and when we look at the sea,

182
00:07:58,227 --> 00:08:01,189
See, in scripture is always a

183
00:08:01,230 --> 00:08:04,442
 picture of nations, like of nations of the world.

184
00:08:04,525 --> 00:08:07,570
The little horn of Daniel,

185
00:08:07,570 --> 00:08:11,574
 7 and the beast of Revelation 13 are really identical.

186
00:08:11,657 --> 00:08:12,909
Yeah, yeah.

187
00:08:12,992 --> 00:08:15,244
Daniel 7 gives a good description, right?

188
00:08:15,328 --> 00:08:18,623
And that C, I think, represents

189
00:08:18,623 --> 00:08:21,417
 just anything that's not Israel, right?

190
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:22,627
Gentile nations.

191
00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:23,294
Right.

192
00:08:23,377 --> 00:08:23,586
Yes.

193
00:08:23,669 --> 00:08:26,422
That's way I'm getting it anyway.

194
00:08:26,505 --> 00:08:29,800
And I understand, you know, listeners that

195
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,553
 are struggling with understanding this stuff, I get it.

196
00:08:32,595 --> 00:08:34,055
Yeah, who doesn't, right?

197
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:34,931
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

198
00:08:35,014 --> 00:08:38,059
There's some things in here that you're going, you may have a little bit of

199
00:08:38,059 --> 00:08:41,646
 different perspective on, you know, if you're listening tonight.

200
00:08:41,729 --> 00:08:44,690
But stay with us because the

201
00:08:44,732 --> 00:08:48,986
 main thing that this is who we're about, right?

202
00:08:49,028 --> 00:08:49,779
Yeah.

203
00:08:49,904 --> 00:08:53,115
Yeah, and we do have, we do have other things to look at, right?

204
00:08:53,199 --> 00:08:56,410
We got Daniel chapter 7 that describes

205
00:08:56,410 --> 00:08:59,622
 this beast, the same 7 heads and 10 horns.

206
00:08:59,747 --> 00:09:02,250
We've got Revelation, was it, 17?

207
00:09:02,291 --> 00:09:04,835
that describes it in more detail.

208
00:09:04,961 --> 00:09:08,172
And the 10 the 10 horns with crowns.

209
00:09:08,256 --> 00:09:11,425
From what I study would

210
00:09:11,425 --> 00:09:14,220
 represent a tenfold division of the realm of Empire.

211
00:09:14,303 --> 00:09:15,846
We talked a little bit about that yesterday.

212
00:09:15,930 --> 00:09:17,223
The horns.

213
00:09:17,306 --> 00:09:20,685
The horns are the 10 kings who

214
00:09:20,726 --> 00:09:22,645
 rule over this 10 fold division.

215
00:09:22,645 --> 00:09:25,982
And that's confirmed over in chapter 17 in

216
00:09:26,023 --> 00:09:27,191
 verse 12, right?

217
00:09:27,275 --> 00:09:30,486
So, so, uh, it says in the 10 horns which thou

218
00:09:30,528 --> 00:09:33,489
 sawest are 10 kings, which have

219
00:09:33,489 --> 00:09:36,826
 received no kingdom as yet, but received

220
00:09:36,867 --> 00:09:39,287
 power as kings one hour with the beast.

221
00:09:39,370 --> 00:09:39,829
Yeah.

222
00:09:39,870 --> 00:09:42,832
So, you know, the

223
00:09:42,873 --> 00:09:46,043
 little horn 1st comes to power by bringing

224
00:09:46,043 --> 00:09:48,546
 down 3 of these kings.

225
00:09:48,629 --> 00:09:51,132
He's going to take them out.

226
00:09:51,215 --> 00:09:54,385
Then afterwards, he dominates the other 7

227
00:09:54,385 --> 00:09:56,637
 and he becomes a world dictator.

228
00:09:56,721 --> 00:09:59,515
That's this beast that we're starting to see to start with, right?

229
00:09:59,599 --> 00:10:02,518
Yeah, and that's right out of Daniel 7, 24.

230
00:10:02,768 --> 00:10:05,521
It says, as for the 10 horns out of this kingdom,

231
00:10:05,605 --> 00:10:08,774
10 kings will arise, and another will arise

232
00:10:08,774 --> 00:10:12,528
 after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue 3 kings.

233
00:10:12,695 --> 00:10:13,029
Yeah.

234
00:10:13,029 --> 00:10:17,033
Or in one place it says, pluck those horns out, right?

235
00:10:17,116 --> 00:10:20,578
And this is this is the guy.

236
00:10:20,745 --> 00:10:23,497
This is the antichrist guy that we're referring to.

237
00:10:23,539 --> 00:10:24,498
Yes, it is.

238
00:10:24,582 --> 00:10:26,125
This is this is him.

239
00:10:26,167 --> 00:10:29,920
He's showing up and he's been around, right?

240
00:10:30,046 --> 00:10:33,382
He's already been around, but he's really showing up and showing out here.

241
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:36,510
and Satan is, you know,

242
00:10:36,510 --> 00:10:37,678
 in complete control of him.

243
00:10:37,762 --> 00:10:40,848
The 7 heads are.

244
00:10:40,931 --> 00:10:44,685
I'm going to be honest, they're not completely clear on almost 7 edge.

245
00:10:44,769 --> 00:10:45,061
Yeah.

246
00:10:45,102 --> 00:10:48,397
They could represent another 7 kings

247
00:10:48,397 --> 00:10:51,359
 or that are not necessarily

248
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,779
 contemporary at that time or

249
00:10:54,820 --> 00:10:58,115
 they could represent 7 forms of government in

250
00:10:58,115 --> 00:11:00,868
 Rome or they could represent great wisdom.

251
00:11:00,910 --> 00:11:03,871
Uh, there's, there's several theories out on that.

252
00:11:03,913 --> 00:11:05,873
Or even, even a physical mountains.

253
00:11:05,915 --> 00:11:06,749
Physical mountains.

254
00:11:06,791 --> 00:11:06,999
Yeah.

255
00:11:07,124 --> 00:11:10,294
And Revelation 17, and man, I hate to skip ahead

256
00:11:10,294 --> 00:11:13,464
 that far, but it says that in

257
00:11:13,464 --> 00:11:16,759
 verse nine, here is the mind which has wisdom, the 7th heads,

258
00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:19,428
 and he's talking about a different a different vision at that point.

259
00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:21,722
He's talking about the harlot that's sitting on the beast.

260
00:11:21,806 --> 00:11:24,767
And it says, the 7 heads are 7 mountains

261
00:11:24,809 --> 00:11:28,437
 on which the woman sits and they are 7 kings.

262
00:11:28,521 --> 00:11:31,982
So they're not severing literal mountains, like a lot of prophecy

263
00:11:32,024 --> 00:11:33,025
 folks will tell you.

264
00:11:33,692 --> 00:11:34,276
Well, that's Rome.

265
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,319
It sets on 7 hills.

266
00:11:35,361 --> 00:11:37,321
Well, they're also 7 kings.

267
00:11:37,405 --> 00:11:40,157
And he goes on and says 5 have fallen.

268
00:11:40,241 --> 00:11:43,327
One is, the other has not yet come, and

269
00:11:43,327 --> 00:11:45,579
 when he comes, he must remain a little while.

270
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:48,582
So there's 5 fallen kingdoms.

271
00:11:48,624 --> 00:11:52,378
So these heads must represent successive kingdoms that

272
00:11:52,420 --> 00:11:53,462
 have happened across history.

273
00:11:53,546 --> 00:11:55,798
And we see some of them out of Daniel chapter 2.

274
00:11:56,006 --> 00:11:57,425
Yes.

275
00:11:57,466 --> 00:11:57,800
Right?

276
00:11:57,883 --> 00:11:59,844
And but here's here's the thing gets me, brother.

277
00:11:59,927 --> 00:12:02,346
That confuses me.

278
00:12:02,430 --> 00:12:05,641
It feels like when the 1st time you read 1st chapter

279
00:12:05,683 --> 00:12:08,727
 13 that it's mixing metaphors somewhat, because

280
00:12:08,727 --> 00:12:13,190
 the beast starts out as a kingdom that comes up out of the sea, and later it becomes a person.

281
00:12:13,274 --> 00:12:14,525
Yeah, yeah.

282
00:12:14,608 --> 00:12:15,985
It becomes the Antichrist.

283
00:12:16,026 --> 00:12:16,735
the beast.

284
00:12:16,902 --> 00:12:19,864
And there's actually another beast that we're going to see later in 13.

285
00:12:20,072 --> 00:12:21,073
Yeah, a false prophet.

286
00:12:21,157 --> 00:12:22,324
Yes, false prophet, right.

287
00:12:22,408 --> 00:12:23,117
Absolutely.

288
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,953
So what it really represents is a kingdom and a ruler.

289
00:12:25,995 --> 00:12:27,413
Yes, absolutely.

290
00:12:27,496 --> 00:12:31,333
I start to say when I read that description.

291
00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:34,378
My mind immediately goes

292
00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:38,424
 to a representation of, um,

293
00:12:38,424 --> 00:12:40,759
 how do I word this?

294
00:12:40,843 --> 00:12:44,764
something that is more than one thing, right?

295
00:12:44,847 --> 00:12:47,641
It immediately goes to, this is a singular beast.

296
00:12:47,767 --> 00:12:51,604
It's the singular beast, but it has 10 horn, 7 heads.

297
00:12:51,687 --> 00:12:54,732
And those 7 heads, and then, of course, we'll see in the, you know, in a couple of

298
00:12:54,732 --> 00:12:58,027
 verses, what happens to one of the heads, which kind of to me seems

299
00:12:58,027 --> 00:13:01,071
 like it's like you have these different aspects

300
00:13:01,113 --> 00:13:03,532
 that all connect back to one thing.

301
00:13:03,616 --> 00:13:06,660
And, you know, because when you think of

302
00:13:06,702 --> 00:13:07,828
 a head, what's on a head of face?

303
00:13:07,870 --> 00:13:11,165
And so it's 7 different faces, several different aspects

304
00:13:11,207 --> 00:13:14,168
 of one singular thing, which in this case

305
00:13:14,168 --> 00:13:17,379
 would be the Antichrist and his

306
00:13:17,421 --> 00:13:19,965
 reign during the time of the tribulation.

307
00:13:20,049 --> 00:13:23,135
Well, something interesting that brings those heads together too,

308
00:13:23,177 --> 00:13:25,513
 is it's on his heads were blasphemous names.

309
00:13:25,596 --> 00:13:28,557
And that connects together with these 7 kingdoms

310
00:13:28,599 --> 00:13:32,061
 that have or will exist that

311
00:13:32,061 --> 00:13:33,354
 have persecuted Israel.

312
00:13:33,437 --> 00:13:33,854
That's right

313
00:13:34,063 --> 00:13:37,650
And we need to keep in mind that all 7 heads are guilty.

314
00:13:37,691 --> 00:13:40,611
All 7 heads are guilty of blasphemy.

315
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:43,781
And what that means is they're making oneself equal with God.

316
00:13:43,948 --> 00:13:46,992
Right. slandering or taking

317
00:13:46,992 --> 00:13:48,244
 the Lord's name in vain.

318
00:13:48,577 --> 00:13:50,120
That's what's going on here.

319
00:13:50,204 --> 00:13:54,917
And by persecuting Israel, of course, they're doing that, right?

320
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,211
They're ruling, they're trying to ruin reign.

321
00:13:57,253 --> 00:13:57,962
Yeah.

322
00:13:58,003 --> 00:13:58,837
Yeah.

323
00:13:58,879 --> 00:14:01,841
So this beast is a mysterious thing, man.

324
00:14:01,966 --> 00:14:03,926
there's a lot packed in that 1st verse.

325
00:14:03,968 --> 00:14:04,718
Yes, there is.

326
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:05,177
A lot.

327
00:14:05,261 --> 00:14:06,929
And you got to go to other places.

328
00:14:06,971 --> 00:14:09,098
You got to let the Bible interpret itself, don't you?

329
00:14:09,223 --> 00:14:09,640
Absolutely.

330
00:14:09,849 --> 00:14:13,060
And I will say, I will say one thing that is interesting here,

331
00:14:13,102 --> 00:14:16,063
 the King James version and the

332
00:14:16,105 --> 00:14:19,191
 net, both, that the end of that verse,

333
00:14:19,233 --> 00:14:22,444
 the King James says, and upon his heads, the

334
00:14:22,486 --> 00:14:25,698
 name singular of blasphemy, same

335
00:14:25,698 --> 00:14:28,784
 thing for New English, and on its heads,

336
00:14:28,826 --> 00:14:31,870
 a blasphemous name, whereas a lot of

337
00:14:31,870 --> 00:14:34,832
 the others say, and on each head, a blasphemous name,

338
00:14:34,874 --> 00:14:37,251
 or as though it's multiple.

339
00:14:37,334 --> 00:14:38,460
I think it's all one name.

340
00:14:38,544 --> 00:14:39,920
Yeah.

341
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:40,337
Yeah.

342
00:14:40,421 --> 00:14:43,507
And if you start digging it, if you get into chapter

343
00:14:43,507 --> 00:14:46,468
 17 again, you know, where you see the success of kingdoms, and

344
00:14:46,510 --> 00:14:49,597
 I saw a really good, a really good study

345
00:14:49,638 --> 00:14:52,600
 on that, it names them off as, you know,

346
00:14:52,641 --> 00:14:55,603
 the 4 kingdoms that are actually more like

347
00:14:55,644 --> 00:14:58,314
 5 kingdoms that are in Daniel chapter 2.

348
00:14:58,522 --> 00:15:02,526
It goes Babylon, Meads and Persians, Greece,

349
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:06,196
 Rome, and then Rome mixed with clay at the toes, right?

350
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,073
So that's to revive Roman Empire.

351
00:15:08,115 --> 00:15:11,076
But there's that's not all the kingdoms, world kingdoms that I've ever

352
00:15:11,118 --> 00:15:12,536
 been that persecuted Israel.

353
00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:16,665
There were 2 before those, which were Egypt and Assyria.

354
00:15:16,832 --> 00:15:17,124
Yeah.

355
00:15:17,124 --> 00:15:19,752
And we see we see some of that stuff.

356
00:15:19,835 --> 00:15:22,796
So what it's going to lay out in chapter 17 is that

357
00:15:22,838 --> 00:15:26,050
 of these 7 heads, there's 7 of them that are going to be there, and then there's

358
00:15:26,050 --> 00:15:28,844
 going to be like a 7th that's coming right now, the revived Roman.

359
00:15:28,927 --> 00:15:30,596
And then there's going to be an eighth.

360
00:15:30,679 --> 00:15:31,263
right.

361
00:15:31,347 --> 00:15:34,391
Where, and I believe in the midpoint of the tribulation,

362
00:15:34,391 --> 00:15:37,353
 that's when the Antichrist says, I'm done with that kingdom.

363
00:15:37,478 --> 00:15:38,228
This is my baby.

364
00:15:38,312 --> 00:15:39,146
That's right.

365
00:15:39,188 --> 00:15:43,067
And you'll see even, even when the Antichrist,

366
00:15:43,108 --> 00:15:46,195
 when the when the false prophet comes along, he'll only use that

367
00:15:46,236 --> 00:15:48,614
 false prophet until he's done with him, right?

368
00:15:48,697 --> 00:15:49,573
Yeah, yeah.

369
00:15:49,657 --> 00:15:53,160
And that false prophet, well, I don't want to get ahead of myself.

370
00:15:53,243 --> 00:15:55,496
Well, and it's hard not to, yeah.

371
00:15:55,579 --> 00:15:59,333
I start saying it's really hard not to in this because of how everything ties together.

372
00:15:59,416 --> 00:16:03,253
But that, what you just said, that is exactly the,

373
00:16:03,253 --> 00:16:04,922
 that's what you would expect to see from the world.

374
00:16:05,005 --> 00:16:07,091
But again, that description as a beast.

375
00:16:07,174 --> 00:16:08,300
What do beasts do?

376
00:16:08,384 --> 00:16:11,762
There is nothing that they want destroy the

377
00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:15,849
 moment it is no longer useful to them or the moment it becomes useful for food, what will it be?

378
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:16,392
Elite it.

379
00:16:16,475 --> 00:16:18,686
You know, it doesn't care that that was its best friend.

380
00:16:18,727 --> 00:16:20,187
I mean, animals don't care.

381
00:16:20,312 --> 00:16:22,523
They will destroy and devour.

382
00:16:22,523 --> 00:16:26,026
Hey, you take a you take a pet that loves

383
00:16:26,068 --> 00:16:29,154
 you and cares about you and

384
00:16:29,196 --> 00:16:32,491
 you die in your house and stay there for about 2 or 3 weeks and

385
00:16:32,491 --> 00:16:33,951
 see what that pet does to you, right?

386
00:16:34,034 --> 00:16:34,660
I hate you.

387
00:16:34,785 --> 00:16:38,247
Hey, on

388
00:16:38,247 --> 00:16:39,832
 the plus side, you're a lot lighter corpse.

389
00:16:39,915 --> 00:16:43,669
I have a harder time carrying you out, though.

390
00:16:43,752 --> 00:16:45,546
No open casket for that.

391
00:16:45,629 --> 00:16:47,548
All right, sorry about that.

392
00:16:47,589 --> 00:16:49,008
Some of you may have been.

393
00:16:49,091 --> 00:16:50,884
Some people were going, I didn't need that mental illness.

394
00:16:50,968 --> 00:16:54,179
Granny, but...

395
00:16:54,221 --> 00:16:55,806
But that's the thing.

396
00:16:55,889 --> 00:16:58,851
That's why the Antichrist is so quick to turn on the false

397
00:16:58,892 --> 00:17:01,812
 prophet once he is no longer useful to him because it is.

398
00:17:01,895 --> 00:17:04,940
And that's the thing that we're called not to be.

399
00:17:05,023 --> 00:17:06,984
That's what we're called out of.

400
00:17:07,067 --> 00:17:10,154
Yeah, he's anti- he's the antichrist, right?

401
00:17:10,237 --> 00:17:13,115
Everything.

402
00:17:13,115 --> 00:17:14,283
It's the opposite of everything.

403
00:17:14,366 --> 00:17:16,493
And that's what we'll see again.

404
00:17:16,577 --> 00:17:18,162
Hopefully we'll get there tonight.

405
00:17:18,287 --> 00:17:18,996
We might make it there.

406
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:19,747
We might.

407
00:17:19,747 --> 00:17:23,500
But that's what we'll see with the

408
00:17:23,542 --> 00:17:26,503
 false prophet is

409
00:17:26,545 --> 00:17:30,257
 that he, the Antichrist is everything Christ is not.

410
00:17:30,340 --> 00:17:31,633
He's the exact opposite.

411
00:17:31,717 --> 00:17:35,095
And what the, what the, the false prophet will do.

412
00:17:35,179 --> 00:17:37,181
He will try to to be like Christ.

413
00:17:37,306 --> 00:17:40,392
He will try to make people feel religious or

414
00:17:40,392 --> 00:17:43,353
 this is, you know, because because you're going to have so many people here

415
00:17:43,395 --> 00:17:46,690
 that are still like, I don't know, they don't seem like,

416
00:17:46,690 --> 00:17:50,319
 I've been hearing about this god stuff and they don't seem very godly.

417
00:17:50,444 --> 00:17:53,197
You know, I've heard it all my life and I didn't accept it.

418
00:17:53,238 --> 00:17:54,198
I believe it.

419
00:17:54,281 --> 00:17:54,907
Now here we are.

420
00:17:54,990 --> 00:17:56,408
And he's going to go, oh, yeah.

421
00:17:56,492 --> 00:17:57,743
Oh, yeah, this is the way it is.

422
00:17:57,826 --> 00:17:59,495
And it's going be a false religion.

423
00:17:59,536 --> 00:18:00,496
Yeah, exactly.

424
00:18:00,579 --> 00:18:03,624
You know, and I don't remember if it was, I can't remember if it was C.S.

425
00:18:03,624 --> 00:18:07,211
 Lewis or somebody more contemporary than him that

426
00:18:07,211 --> 00:18:10,255
 made the statement one time that, you know, evil is not the

427
00:18:10,297 --> 00:18:12,633
 opposite of good is the perversion of it.

428
00:18:12,674 --> 00:18:15,719
And so everything the Antichrist does, everything this

429
00:18:15,761 --> 00:18:18,555
 beast does is the perversion of that, which is good.

430
00:18:18,639 --> 00:18:21,058
Just like darkness is the absence of life.

431
00:18:21,141 --> 00:18:21,850
Right, yeah.

432
00:18:21,934 --> 00:18:22,893
heat and cold.

433
00:18:22,935 --> 00:18:23,393
Yeah, right.

434
00:18:23,477 --> 00:18:24,520
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

435
00:18:24,645 --> 00:18:25,354
Yeah.

436
00:18:25,395 --> 00:18:26,021
Yeah.

437
00:18:26,146 --> 00:18:27,564
So verse verse two.

438
00:18:27,648 --> 00:18:28,398
Verse two, yeah.

439
00:18:28,482 --> 00:18:31,819
Start, starts getting, getting little, little more clear, right?

440
00:18:31,902 --> 00:18:32,778
Yeah.

441
00:18:32,861 --> 00:18:35,823
And the beast, which I saw was like

442
00:18:35,864 --> 00:18:38,951
 unto a leopard and his feet, where his feet of a bear

443
00:18:38,951 --> 00:18:42,246
 and his mouth, the mouth of a lion, and the dragon

444
00:18:42,287 --> 00:18:45,874
 gave him his power and his seat and great authority.

445
00:18:45,916 --> 00:18:48,877
Again, we got

446
00:18:48,919 --> 00:18:50,462
 to go back to Daniel seven, right?

447
00:18:50,546 --> 00:18:52,631
Daniel 7, verse 6.

448
00:18:52,714 --> 00:18:56,093
After this, I beheld and lo, another like a leopard,

449
00:18:56,134 --> 00:18:59,638
 which had up on the back of it, 4 wings and a foul,

450
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,725
 the beast had also 4 heads, and dominion was given to it.

451
00:19:03,809 --> 00:19:07,020
So this represents the Greco

452
00:19:07,062 --> 00:19:11,108
 Macedonian Empire, probably,

453
00:19:11,108 --> 00:19:14,069
 it represents Greece and their advancements in arts and

454
00:19:14,111 --> 00:19:17,948
 science and philosophy and architecture and language.

455
00:19:17,948 --> 00:19:20,993
And this will probably, this will

456
00:19:21,034 --> 00:19:23,162
 be the empire of the beast.

457
00:19:23,245 --> 00:19:24,121
Yeah, yeah.

458
00:19:24,204 --> 00:19:27,833
And what's what's awesome too, is that he lists these out.

459
00:19:27,916 --> 00:19:30,252
And you remember the statue of Daniel chapter 2.

460
00:19:30,460 --> 00:19:32,254
He lists them in reverse order.

461
00:19:32,296 --> 00:19:32,713
Right.

462
00:19:32,713 --> 00:19:36,049
He lists the Greece and then the Medes and Persians and then Babylon.

463
00:19:36,216 --> 00:19:36,717
Yes, yes.

464
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:37,217
That's right.

465
00:19:37,301 --> 00:19:38,760
So he's looking back at it.

466
00:19:38,844 --> 00:19:39,178
Yes.

467
00:19:39,219 --> 00:19:39,636
Yes.

468
00:19:39,678 --> 00:19:40,429
Instead of looking forward.

469
00:19:40,512 --> 00:19:41,388
absolutely.

470
00:19:41,471 --> 00:19:41,930
Absolutely

471
00:19:42,097 --> 00:19:42,806
Pretty awesome.

472
00:19:42,848 --> 00:19:45,183
And a leopard, leopard is fast, right?

473
00:19:45,267 --> 00:19:46,643
It conquers quickly.

474
00:19:46,727 --> 00:19:48,854
And that's what...

475
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:49,730
Alexander of the Great.

476
00:19:49,813 --> 00:19:51,732
He conquered the known world in like record time.

477
00:19:51,815 --> 00:19:54,735
And then the bear, which is just strong and vicious.

478
00:19:54,735 --> 00:19:57,696
And then the mouth of the line was Babylon.

479
00:19:57,821 --> 00:19:58,780
That's right.

480
00:19:58,822 --> 00:20:02,701
Yeah, the, the, the bear reminds us of the 2nd beast in Daniel, right?

481
00:20:02,743 --> 00:20:05,829
Yeah, 75 talks about that, that beast

482
00:20:05,829 --> 00:20:06,830
 is like to a bear.

483
00:20:06,914 --> 00:20:07,539
Yep.

484
00:20:07,581 --> 00:20:09,666
And like you said, that's the made Persian.

485
00:20:09,750 --> 00:20:12,961
And it's noted for great wealth and splendor

486
00:20:13,003 --> 00:20:15,964
 and as it

487
00:20:16,006 --> 00:20:18,675
 moved over the earth like a monster, it really took over.

488
00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:23,430
Yeah, and you see, all these guys were people that persecuted Israel.

489
00:20:23,472 --> 00:20:26,433
Like Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, he ransacked

490
00:20:26,475 --> 00:20:29,645
 Jerusalem, and then you got the Medes and Persians,

491
00:20:29,686 --> 00:20:31,813
 where it's a little harder to find it.

492
00:20:31,897 --> 00:20:35,108
But Artaxerxes was king of the Medes and Persians

493
00:20:35,108 --> 00:20:38,153
 when a guy named Haman tried to have Israel wiped out.

494
00:20:38,237 --> 00:20:39,947
Remember us, who Esther went in?

495
00:20:40,030 --> 00:20:40,530
That's right.

496
00:20:40,572 --> 00:20:43,533
Israelites were about to be Israel.

497
00:20:43,659 --> 00:20:44,910
Yeah, if it hadn't been for her.

498
00:20:45,077 --> 00:20:46,203
And that was during the Medes and Persians.

499
00:20:46,286 --> 00:20:48,497
And then there's, you know, Alexander the Great.

500
00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:51,875
And that's where like the top and shadow of the Antichrist was

501
00:20:51,875 --> 00:20:55,504
 that Antiochus Epiphanies, dude, that did horrible.

502
00:20:55,587 --> 00:20:56,630
It was evil, evil.

503
00:20:57,214 --> 00:21:00,175
Man, if you read, if you read the Maccabees, the

504
00:21:00,217 --> 00:21:03,553
 Roman Romans have that in their scripture, but it's not really God

505
00:21:03,553 --> 00:21:06,306
 breed stuff, it's just a historical stuff.

506
00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:07,140
historically, yeah.

507
00:21:07,224 --> 00:21:10,602
But man, descriptions of the stuff that guy did in Jerusalem to those people.

508
00:21:10,769 --> 00:21:14,106
And the Maccabees rose up and conquered him and kicked him out.

509
00:21:14,189 --> 00:21:17,818
And the guy died this heinous death, kind of like Herod did, you know, in acts.

510
00:21:17,901 --> 00:21:20,570
Just this nasty death that God put him through.

511
00:21:20,654 --> 00:21:23,615
But all these are kingdoms are

512
00:21:23,657 --> 00:21:25,993
 empires that persecuted Israel.

513
00:21:26,076 --> 00:21:27,077
God's people.

514
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,539
Yeah, the mouth of the line reminds us of the 1st beast in Daniel.

515
00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:33,667
And it's

516
00:21:33,667 --> 00:21:35,085
 described in Daniel 74.

517
00:21:35,377 --> 00:21:38,422
And this is probably the

518
00:21:38,422 --> 00:21:41,383
 dictatorship of Nebuchadnezzar and his rule

519
00:21:41,425 --> 00:21:43,385
 of Babylon during that time.

520
00:21:43,468 --> 00:21:46,221
and the beach is going to rule as a dictator.

521
00:21:46,305 --> 00:21:49,933
I just thought, you know, you remember Nebuchadnezzar and the things he did.

522
00:21:50,684 --> 00:21:50,892
Right.

523
00:21:50,976 --> 00:21:52,102
He's just so...

524
00:21:52,227 --> 00:21:56,148
bragging about stuff and all of a sudden he's crawling on all 4s out in the field.

525
00:21:56,231 --> 00:21:56,857
Yeah, that's right.

526
00:21:56,982 --> 00:21:58,817
God took care of that too, didn't he?

527
00:21:58,900 --> 00:22:03,905
Well, you know, one of the one of the things you have to remember about Nebuchadnezzar,

528
00:22:03,947 --> 00:22:07,409
 especially, is that, um, he

529
00:22:07,409 --> 00:22:09,411
 was basically trying to be treated like God.

530
00:22:09,578 --> 00:22:11,371
And that's one of the things.

531
00:22:11,413 --> 00:22:15,000
He truly, I mean, they were building entire histories

532
00:22:15,042 --> 00:22:18,253
 of how he wasn't really a man and like,

533
00:22:18,253 --> 00:22:21,339
 I mean, it was crazy stuff that he was trying to convince

534
00:22:21,381 --> 00:22:24,843
 people of and I'm like, yeah, and God made you go crazy.

535
00:22:24,926 --> 00:22:26,386
Yeah, wow.

536
00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:28,805
Right right after he's standing out on the balcony.

537
00:22:28,889 --> 00:22:29,723
Look how great I am.

538
00:22:29,806 --> 00:22:31,725
We could all, uh, built. and just boom.

539
00:22:31,767 --> 00:22:34,186
And buddy, that's something that scares me to death about Donald Trump.

540
00:22:34,269 --> 00:22:35,437
Yeah, I'll be honest with you.

541
00:22:35,562 --> 00:22:36,313
Being so proud.

542
00:22:36,396 --> 00:22:38,065
Look at me, look at me.

543
00:22:38,148 --> 00:22:38,648
Yeah.

544
00:22:38,648 --> 00:22:39,524
Yeah, absolutely.

545
00:22:39,608 --> 00:22:40,901
That's a mouth of a line.

546
00:22:41,026 --> 00:22:42,444
We've got to be real, right?

547
00:22:42,527 --> 00:22:46,114
I mean, we got to be real with, and with truth because,

548
00:22:46,114 --> 00:22:49,201
 uh, guys, I mean, I'll

549
00:22:49,242 --> 00:22:52,996
 be the 1st one to tell you, I'm, I vote Republican because,

550
00:22:52,996 --> 00:22:56,333
 because it, I am an ultra conservative, uh,

551
00:22:56,375 --> 00:22:59,419
 and, uh, they are against

552
00:22:59,419 --> 00:23:02,381
 abortion, gay marriage, um, you

553
00:23:02,422 --> 00:23:06,343
 know, the things that we, as Christians, hold sacred, right?

554
00:23:06,468 --> 00:23:09,513
The sanctity of life and a marriage between

555
00:23:09,513 --> 00:23:10,680
 one man and one woman.

556
00:23:10,847 --> 00:23:14,017
And so that's the reason that I think most

557
00:23:14,017 --> 00:23:17,854
 of us would say, hey, we vote we vote conservative, right?

558
00:23:17,896 --> 00:23:21,108
But we also can't just say because we vote

559
00:23:21,149 --> 00:23:25,445
 conservative that this guy is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

560
00:23:25,529 --> 00:23:29,533
I mean, dude opens his mouth when he's sitting open his mouth.

561
00:23:29,616 --> 00:23:32,577
He, you know, is the church

562
00:23:32,619 --> 00:23:35,163
 okay under his rule right now?

563
00:23:35,247 --> 00:23:36,248
Yeah, yeah.

564
00:23:36,331 --> 00:23:41,128
But, but I mean, guys, he's, I hope the man,

565
00:23:41,503 --> 00:23:43,046
I hope the man's gets saved, you know?

566
00:23:43,422 --> 00:23:47,259
And I don't see any evidence of salvation in Donald Trump.

567
00:23:47,467 --> 00:23:50,679
He's surrounded himself with some shady...

568
00:23:50,804 --> 00:23:51,680
He sure has.

569
00:23:51,763 --> 00:23:52,931
Christian leaders, it ain't that good.

570
00:23:53,014 --> 00:23:53,432
That's right.

571
00:23:53,473 --> 00:23:53,807
right.

572
00:23:53,890 --> 00:23:56,935
I'd like to see him spend a lot more time with somebody like Franklin

573
00:23:56,977 --> 00:23:59,229
 Graham than that white girl, right?

574
00:23:59,312 --> 00:24:01,273
Not that she's white colored.

575
00:24:02,023 --> 00:24:03,024
Her last name is white.

576
00:24:03,108 --> 00:24:06,945
I can't remember her 1st name, but she's more of a prosperity type.

577
00:24:06,987 --> 00:24:08,113
Yeah, exactly.

578
00:24:08,196 --> 00:24:09,739
And it's, I don't know.

579
00:24:09,823 --> 00:24:12,576
Well, he needs some truth in his life.

580
00:24:12,617 --> 00:24:14,536
He needs some truth in his life.

581
00:24:14,619 --> 00:24:17,831
And so I, you know, my prayer has been the

582
00:24:17,831 --> 00:24:20,917
 entire time of his presidency this time around, is that he would

583
00:24:20,959 --> 00:24:24,254
 get people around him that are good advisors that

584
00:24:24,254 --> 00:24:27,174
 are godly people that will point him in the right direction.

585
00:24:27,257 --> 00:24:28,842
And I continue to pray that.

586
00:24:28,967 --> 00:24:32,012
I keep hoping like one day we're going to wake up and find out he's fired a bunch of people

587
00:24:32,012 --> 00:24:34,222
 and going, hey, we replaced him with these actual good people.

588
00:24:34,306 --> 00:24:35,599
I was like, oh well, that'd be nice.

589
00:24:35,682 --> 00:24:36,099
Yeah.

590
00:24:36,099 --> 00:24:36,933
Yeah.

591
00:24:36,975 --> 00:24:37,559
Yeah.

592
00:24:37,601 --> 00:24:40,562
But, you know, one

593
00:24:40,604 --> 00:24:43,565
 of the things I notice in this 2nd verse here is it says that,

594
00:24:43,607 --> 00:24:46,776
 you know, when he sees him, and he sees all of these these different

595
00:24:46,776 --> 00:24:50,530
 creatures of what he, again, it's one of those amalgamations.

596
00:24:50,614 --> 00:24:53,700
Do you notice that every single one of these creatures that you see

597
00:24:53,742 --> 00:24:56,161
 in Revelation, it's an amalgamation of multiple things.

598
00:24:56,244 --> 00:24:59,206
It's, you know, the locust had the head

599
00:24:59,247 --> 00:25:02,209
 of a person, but the teeth were different and the body was not

600
00:25:02,250 --> 00:25:03,376
 really like a locust.

601
00:25:03,460 --> 00:25:04,294
It was like a lion and

602
00:25:04,336 --> 00:25:07,923
And so you have a lot of the same symbology keeps cropping up over and over.

603
00:25:08,048 --> 00:25:11,801
And it represents all different kinds of evil coming together.

604
00:25:11,927 --> 00:25:13,178
You know, it really does.

605
00:25:13,220 --> 00:25:16,431
Yeah, or the qualities are characteristics that you

606
00:25:16,473 --> 00:25:19,768
 talked about earlier, right, from these different kingdoms are going to be merged into one.

607
00:25:19,809 --> 00:25:20,143
That's right

608
00:25:20,310 --> 00:25:23,647
But then where I was going with that is that it comes in right after all that.

609
00:25:23,730 --> 00:25:26,691
You see this amalgamation thing that then the dragon

610
00:25:26,733 --> 00:25:28,944
 gives him part of his power.

611
00:25:29,027 --> 00:25:32,197
Hey, that's that's something that's awesome about Daniel

612
00:25:32,197 --> 00:25:34,699
 and about Revelation is both of these books.

613
00:25:34,783 --> 00:25:36,993
ultimately are about God is sovereign.

614
00:25:37,035 --> 00:25:39,120
That power was given to him.

615
00:25:39,204 --> 00:25:40,038
That's right.

616
00:25:40,121 --> 00:25:40,830
Yeah, absolutely.

617
00:25:40,872 --> 00:25:42,707
He only has the power that was given to him.

618
00:25:42,791 --> 00:25:45,835
And this beast, this beast will be powered

619
00:25:45,877 --> 00:25:47,837
 and driven by Satan himself, right?

620
00:25:47,921 --> 00:25:51,007
But only the still only for the power that God

621
00:25:51,007 --> 00:25:52,008
 allows them to have.

622
00:25:52,092 --> 00:25:55,428
But 2nd Thessalonians too, 9 and 10.

623
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,682
Even him who is coming after the working of Satan with

624
00:25:58,723 --> 00:26:01,685
 all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all

625
00:26:01,726 --> 00:26:04,813
 deceivableness, of unrighteousness in them

626
00:26:04,813 --> 00:26:07,983
 that perish, because they receive not the love of

627
00:26:08,024 --> 00:26:09,818
 the truth, that they might be saved.

628
00:26:09,859 --> 00:26:13,488
That really,

629
00:26:13,530 --> 00:26:16,700
 again, a couple of things I want to point out in that verse

630
00:26:16,700 --> 00:26:17,993
 of 2nd Thessalonians.

631
00:26:18,076 --> 00:26:21,371
One, we see that power is given to

632
00:26:21,371 --> 00:26:23,748
 this antichrist by Satan.

633
00:26:23,832 --> 00:26:28,128
for him to do work wonders.

634
00:26:28,211 --> 00:26:30,422
which we'll see in this.

635
00:26:30,505 --> 00:26:34,092
And to do things that part

636
00:26:34,092 --> 00:26:37,053
 of it's going to be smoke and mirrors, of course, we talked about that a lot.

637
00:26:37,178 --> 00:26:40,390
There's going to be supernatural things happening too.

638
00:26:40,473 --> 00:26:41,224
Supernatural thing.

639
00:26:41,266 --> 00:26:43,101
At the end of the day, it's...

640
00:26:43,184 --> 00:26:46,688
And at the end of the day, it's still the power of an angel.

641
00:26:46,771 --> 00:26:48,148
Even if it's a fallen angel.

642
00:26:48,189 --> 00:26:48,815
Right, right.

643
00:26:48,940 --> 00:26:51,901
But, but it says, this, I wanted to put this out at

644
00:26:51,943 --> 00:26:55,405
 the end of 2nd Thessalonians in chapter, the verse 10.

645
00:26:55,697 --> 00:26:59,451
Because they receive not the love of the truth that they might be saved.

646
00:26:59,534 --> 00:27:02,996
In other words, the people that are

647
00:27:03,038 --> 00:27:05,957
 saved, right, it goes back to the church again, right?

648
00:27:06,041 --> 00:27:08,793
These people are here because they didn't trust Jesus.

649
00:27:08,835 --> 00:27:12,130
They're in this shape and they're in this place because

650
00:27:12,130 --> 00:27:15,425
 they didn't trust Jesus because they didn't accept Christ as Lord and say.

651
00:27:15,508 --> 00:27:16,634
That's right.

652
00:27:16,718 --> 00:27:17,469
That's right.

653
00:27:17,552 --> 00:27:20,513
And it's something else that stuck out to me about that too, is do you

654
00:27:20,555 --> 00:27:23,516
 remember when Jesus was tempted of Satan in the wilderness?

655
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,394
If you'll just bow down to me, I'll give you all this.

656
00:27:26,478 --> 00:27:28,813
He found somebody here, didn't he?

657
00:27:28,897 --> 00:27:29,606
That's right.

658
00:27:29,647 --> 00:27:29,939
He did.

659
00:27:30,023 --> 00:27:32,025
He found somebody to bow down to him.

660
00:27:32,067 --> 00:27:33,360
And he gave him that power.

661
00:27:33,443 --> 00:27:34,611
that he promised to Jesus.

662
00:27:34,694 --> 00:27:35,653
That's right.

663
00:27:35,737 --> 00:27:36,071
Yeah.

664
00:27:36,154 --> 00:27:36,613
Yeah.

665
00:27:36,696 --> 00:27:38,281
good stuff

666
00:27:38,490 --> 00:27:39,616
Not good stuff.

667
00:27:39,699 --> 00:27:41,368
Not good stuff, good stuff.

668
00:27:41,409 --> 00:27:41,910
Deep stuff.

669
00:27:42,035 --> 00:27:42,535
Big stuff, yeah.

670
00:27:42,619 --> 00:27:43,453
And I'm going to be honest.

671
00:27:43,536 --> 00:27:46,706
I, you know, it is,

672
00:27:46,706 --> 00:27:50,043
 it is, literally today I was listening to,

673
00:27:50,085 --> 00:27:53,296
 there's a guy that does a podcast about, uh, where he just kind of,

674
00:27:53,296 --> 00:27:56,508
 he does all kinds of crazy old theories

675
00:27:56,549 --> 00:27:59,594
 and conspiracy stuff and talks about things, but he actually did an interview

676
00:27:59,594 --> 00:28:01,554
 with a guy that's one of the Knights Templar.

677
00:28:01,638 --> 00:28:04,182
And I have never heard what those guys believe.

678
00:28:04,307 --> 00:28:05,850
Yeah, that's that Masonic stuff, right?

679
00:28:05,892 --> 00:28:08,853
Deeper. and worse.

680
00:28:08,978 --> 00:28:10,980
The Gnostics.

681
00:28:11,064 --> 00:28:14,526
They are the original Gnostics,

682
00:28:14,567 --> 00:28:15,819
 according to their history.

683
00:28:15,860 --> 00:28:20,699
Right here.

684
00:28:20,782 --> 00:28:24,077
You want to find somebody

685
00:28:24,077 --> 00:28:26,579
 that's the Antichrist that's a really good candidate?

686
00:28:26,663 --> 00:28:28,081
It's somebody coming out of that goal.

687
00:28:28,164 --> 00:28:28,623
Absolutely.

688
00:28:28,665 --> 00:28:32,377
Because they are literally saying stuff like, 0 no, we're all reincarnated.

689
00:28:32,419 --> 00:28:34,003
Jesus was teaching about reincarnation.

690
00:28:34,087 --> 00:28:35,505
That's what he meant by being born again.

691
00:28:35,588 --> 00:28:38,675
And he was, he wasn't saying that he was the way, the truth and

692
00:28:38,717 --> 00:28:40,510
 life and no man comes to the Father but by me.

693
00:28:40,593 --> 00:28:42,011
We were going to ignore that.

694
00:28:42,095 --> 00:28:44,514
These are the guys who wrote the false gospel.

695
00:28:44,597 --> 00:28:45,098
Yeah, exactly.

696
00:28:45,140 --> 00:28:48,977
The gospel of Mary, the gospel of Peter, who wrote all its lying stuff.

697
00:28:49,060 --> 00:28:50,061
Exactly.

698
00:28:50,145 --> 00:28:53,106
But I was listening to that and I was listening to the guy today. and normally I

699
00:28:53,148 --> 00:28:56,484
 listen to all, you know, I'll listen to what whoever he has if he does an interview or something.

700
00:28:56,568 --> 00:28:57,861
I couldn't even stand to listen to it.

701
00:28:57,944 --> 00:28:59,362
I was like, I just can't.

702
00:28:59,487 --> 00:29:02,449
this guy is so far out there and so crazy sounding.

703
00:29:02,532 --> 00:29:04,868
I didn't realize these guys were that level of evil.

704
00:29:04,951 --> 00:29:06,369
And that level of dark.

705
00:29:06,453 --> 00:29:09,414
And I'm like, as I'm looking at this and I'm going, oh, yeah, that's that's

706
00:29:09,456 --> 00:29:12,750
 a perfect candidate for Satan to just walk along and say, hey, you know, if you bow to me.

707
00:29:12,792 --> 00:29:15,753
All that power you've been searching for all these years that

708
00:29:15,795 --> 00:29:18,757
 your whole order's been searching for, you just bow down

709
00:29:18,798 --> 00:29:20,633
 to me and it's all yours.

710
00:29:20,717 --> 00:29:23,887
There are people already worshiping him a lot more than we realize.

711
00:29:24,512 --> 00:29:25,138
All over the place.

712
00:29:25,221 --> 00:29:28,558
I mean, I don't want to get into a bunch of conspiracy stuff,

713
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,686
 but a lot of this Epstein file stuff is

714
00:29:31,728 --> 00:29:34,814
 coming from some deep, dark, uh, things that

715
00:29:34,814 --> 00:29:37,776
 like, um, you know, voodoo and uh,

716
00:29:37,817 --> 00:29:40,862
 and, and, uh, satanic rituals and stuff that

717
00:29:40,904 --> 00:29:43,031
 they've done to to, to gain wealth.

718
00:29:43,114 --> 00:29:46,075
Well, and if you study, if you study any of

719
00:29:46,117 --> 00:29:49,162
 the old, the actual stuff that

720
00:29:49,162 --> 00:29:52,499
 was being taught by some of the people that were wiped out when

721
00:29:52,540 --> 00:29:55,752
 when Israel went into Canaan at the very beginning

722
00:29:55,752 --> 00:29:58,838
 of when they're going through and just wipe, it's the same stuff.

723
00:29:58,963 --> 00:30:00,215
Yeah, it is.

724
00:30:00,256 --> 00:30:01,716
It's the exact same.

725
00:30:01,841 --> 00:30:03,301
And I'm like, evil.

726
00:30:03,343 --> 00:30:03,843
Seriously?

727
00:30:03,927 --> 00:30:05,345
Evil, evil, evil.

728
00:30:05,428 --> 00:30:06,179
Yeah, yeah.

729
00:30:06,262 --> 00:30:07,722
All right, verse three.

730
00:30:07,847 --> 00:30:08,348
Verse three.

731
00:30:08,431 --> 00:30:11,726
I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain,

732
00:30:11,726 --> 00:30:15,104
 and his fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth was amazed

733
00:30:15,146 --> 00:30:16,523
 and followed after the beast.

734
00:30:16,606 --> 00:30:18,191
Now, notice this is one of his heads.

735
00:30:18,274 --> 00:30:21,319
This is not this is not a crown, right?

736
00:30:21,402 --> 00:30:22,445
What this is.

737
00:30:22,529 --> 00:30:25,865
And I, this is just me throwing this out here, that

738
00:30:25,907 --> 00:30:28,034
 these heads are kingdoms or empires.

739
00:30:28,034 --> 00:30:31,120
And, and Satan is a,

740
00:30:31,162 --> 00:30:32,330
 is a, is a copycat.

741
00:30:32,413 --> 00:30:33,248
Yeah.

742
00:30:33,248 --> 00:30:36,584
And he's going to revive the Roman Empire just like God revived

743
00:30:36,626 --> 00:30:37,877
 Israel in 1948.

744
00:30:38,086 --> 00:30:40,713
That's where that's coming from, I believe.

745
00:30:40,755 --> 00:30:44,050
Now, I believe later, we're going to see the individual

746
00:30:44,050 --> 00:30:47,220
 part where the beast gets his life taken and brought

747
00:30:47,262 --> 00:30:49,264
 back in some phony way, I believe.

748
00:30:49,347 --> 00:30:50,932
Yeah, 17 eight, right?

749
00:30:51,015 --> 00:30:54,102
I think chapter 17 because he's also going to try to mock the

750
00:30:54,143 --> 00:30:55,812
 resurrection of Jesus, right?

751
00:30:55,895 --> 00:30:57,063
Not just Israel, but Jesus.

752
00:30:57,146 --> 00:31:00,775
Yeah, I think this verse along with 178 have caused something

753
00:31:00,817 --> 00:31:04,028
 to believe that the Antichrist was actually raised from the dead.

754
00:31:04,112 --> 00:31:05,822
But that's not true.

755
00:31:05,905 --> 00:31:09,200
Well, it says he appeared to have been killed.

756
00:31:09,284 --> 00:31:13,580
So, I mean, I mean, well, and when you think about again,

757
00:31:13,580 --> 00:31:15,164
 this, I know this is a vision and everything.

758
00:31:15,248 --> 00:31:18,585
If it's a head wound, you ever seen a head wound, they

759
00:31:18,626 --> 00:31:22,130
 bleed like the dickens, it's real easy to make one of those look like it was fatal.

760
00:31:22,297 --> 00:31:25,466
And then just stitch it up and oh, look, I healed him.

761
00:31:25,508 --> 00:31:27,635
I brought him back to life.

762
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:32,348
And I mean, but in this case, if it is a kingdom.

763
00:31:32,432 --> 00:31:34,517
That I had never thought about that way.

764
00:31:34,601 --> 00:31:36,144
that's an interesting,

765
00:31:36,227 --> 00:31:37,812
Yeah, I think it's talking about...

766
00:31:37,895 --> 00:31:40,023
I think 17 tells it that the beast of the person.

767
00:31:40,106 --> 00:31:40,732
Right.

768
00:31:40,773 --> 00:31:41,232
It does.

769
00:31:41,316 --> 00:31:44,903
But the interesting thing here is what I mean is looking

770
00:31:44,903 --> 00:31:46,279
 at this from the view of a kingdom.

771
00:31:46,362 --> 00:31:48,906
It's like, yeah, so all you need is Italy to fall.

772
00:31:50,617 --> 00:31:54,078
The Roman Empire suddenly is coming back out of the ash.

773
00:31:54,162 --> 00:31:54,787
It wouldn't be that hard.

774
00:31:54,871 --> 00:31:58,583
Yeah, well, I mean, it's been gone for, I don't know, it kind of faded out.

775
00:31:58,666 --> 00:32:01,419
Yeah, the Roman Empire faded out, conquered.

776
00:32:01,461 --> 00:32:04,631
No, they just kind of, they just kind of, they dispersed and

777
00:32:04,631 --> 00:32:07,258
 it's what gave us...

778
00:32:07,300 --> 00:32:10,637
It's what gave us, um, the British, the British Empire

779
00:32:10,637 --> 00:32:13,681
 came out of the Roman Empire, the, um, the modern

780
00:32:13,723 --> 00:32:16,267
 day, Italy came out of the Roman Empire.

781
00:32:16,351 --> 00:32:19,687
Um, the Germans, uh,

782
00:32:19,687 --> 00:32:22,732
 Germans and Russians, all all of that was part of, and it

783
00:32:22,774 --> 00:32:24,359
 just it just divided up.

784
00:32:24,442 --> 00:32:25,026
Yeah.

785
00:32:25,109 --> 00:32:28,154
When it comes out down to this, this

786
00:32:28,154 --> 00:32:30,114
 beast, he's going to be a fake.

787
00:32:30,198 --> 00:32:32,617
I mean, that's why that's why he's anti-Christ.

788
00:32:32,742 --> 00:32:36,371
He'll fake his death and he'll

789
00:32:36,371 --> 00:32:37,413
 exist.

790
00:32:37,538 --> 00:32:41,292
He's going to exist to bring a false sense of peace to the world.

791
00:32:41,376 --> 00:32:45,254
But this will only be a lie, right?

792
00:32:45,338 --> 00:32:47,131
Just to draw the world into him.

793
00:32:47,131 --> 00:32:50,885
And for him to try to say, I can do anything that Christ can do.

794
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:51,844
Absolutely.

795
00:32:51,886 --> 00:32:54,847
And that's why 2nd Thessalonians 211 says, and for this

796
00:32:54,847 --> 00:32:58,059
 cause, God shall send them a strong delusion that

797
00:32:58,101 --> 00:32:59,143
 they should believe a lie.

798
00:32:59,227 --> 00:32:59,936
Right?

799
00:33:00,019 --> 00:33:01,187
They're going to believe a lie.

800
00:33:01,270 --> 00:33:04,065
The only one that can give life.

801
00:33:04,107 --> 00:33:06,192
John 5, 21, 29.

802
00:33:06,442 --> 00:33:09,404
I won't read all over, but before the father raises up

803
00:33:09,445 --> 00:33:13,449
 the dead and quick enough them, even so the son quickens whom he will.

804
00:33:13,533 --> 00:33:15,910
He's the only one that can give life.

805
00:33:15,993 --> 00:33:17,036
He's the life giver of life.

806
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:17,870
The giver of life.

807
00:33:17,954 --> 00:33:18,162
Yep.

808
00:33:18,287 --> 00:33:18,913
Amen.

809
00:33:18,997 --> 00:33:20,456
Amen.

810
00:33:20,540 --> 00:33:22,542
Verse four.

811
00:33:22,667 --> 00:33:25,878
And they worship the dragon, which gave power unto

812
00:33:25,878 --> 00:33:29,590
 the beast, and they worship the beast, say,

813
00:33:29,590 --> 00:33:32,635
 who is like unto the beast, who is able to make war with him?

814
00:33:32,719 --> 00:33:33,219
Yeah.

815
00:33:33,261 --> 00:33:35,346
That sounds familiar.

816
00:33:35,471 --> 00:33:36,097
Yeah, yeah.

817
00:33:36,222 --> 00:33:37,515
Yeah, does.

818
00:33:37,598 --> 00:33:40,935
So this world begins to believe that

819
00:33:40,935 --> 00:33:42,937
 the beast is as powerful as God.

820
00:33:43,062 --> 00:33:46,107
And if he were to show

821
00:33:46,107 --> 00:33:49,277
 up today, most of the world would follow

822
00:33:49,277 --> 00:33:50,820
 him probably with no resistance.

823
00:33:50,903 --> 00:33:51,529
absolutely.

824
00:33:51,612 --> 00:33:53,197
Let's just fall right in, wouldn't it?

825
00:33:53,322 --> 00:33:53,823
Absolutely.

826
00:33:53,906 --> 00:33:57,201
Jenna, it just reminds me of Daniel 11 gives

827
00:33:57,201 --> 00:33:59,829
 a description beginning at verse 36 of this guy.

828
00:33:59,912 --> 00:34:03,499
And it's one of the things he says about it in verse 38,

829
00:34:03,499 --> 00:34:06,544
 but instead, he will honor a guard of a god of fortresses,

830
00:34:06,586 --> 00:34:08,546
 a god of whom his fathers did not know.

831
00:34:08,546 --> 00:34:11,466
He will honor him with gold, silver cost, stones, and treasures.

832
00:34:11,549 --> 00:34:14,052
He'll take action against the strongest of fortresses.

833
00:34:14,177 --> 00:34:17,555
There's a lot in Daniel 11 that describes this guy and

834
00:34:17,597 --> 00:34:20,767
 more, and I think, general 8, maybe,

835
00:34:20,767 --> 00:34:23,811
 where it gives the example of Antiochus and all some

836
00:34:23,853 --> 00:34:27,023
 of the things he's going to do, but we know that he's already done

837
00:34:27,023 --> 00:34:29,984
 them because of what Jesus said, Matthew 24, that

838
00:34:30,026 --> 00:34:33,613
 what that guy did is going to happen again, the abomination of this life.

839
00:34:33,696 --> 00:34:34,155
That's right.

840
00:34:34,238 --> 00:34:34,572
right.

841
00:34:34,655 --> 00:34:38,034
So we see examples all throughout Daniel of this guy and what he's going to be like.

842
00:34:38,117 --> 00:34:39,243
Yeah, sure, absolutely.

843
00:34:39,327 --> 00:34:42,371
But the whole earth, man, the

844
00:34:42,371 --> 00:34:43,790
 whole earth is going to worship this guy.

845
00:34:43,873 --> 00:34:44,749
That's gotta be a delusion.

846
00:34:44,832 --> 00:34:45,875
It is, yeah, yeah.

847
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,376
Who are they the worst right now?

848
00:34:47,418 --> 00:34:48,961
Such a strong delusion.

849
00:34:49,045 --> 00:34:52,090
And the only people that you're going to have that really are not going to fall

850
00:34:52,090 --> 00:34:54,967
 for those 144,000, right, that are sealed.

851
00:34:55,051 --> 00:34:58,137
So, and the people that do not take the this mark that

852
00:34:58,179 --> 00:34:59,722
 we're going to look at.

853
00:34:59,806 --> 00:35:02,892
I will throw out, by the way, anybody that thinks that some random

854
00:35:02,892 --> 00:35:06,229
 ruler that's on the earth right now might be the Antichrist,

855
00:35:06,270 --> 00:35:09,357
 um, this verse pretty much, I can't

856
00:35:09,398 --> 00:35:14,362
 think of a single leader in the world today that everybody,

857
00:35:14,362 --> 00:35:17,448
 you have one group that hates one leader,

858
00:35:17,490 --> 00:35:19,200
 you got another group.

859
00:35:20,910 --> 00:35:24,956
Right now, we can't even agree on which group of leaders to agree.

860
00:35:25,039 --> 00:35:25,623
going to say this.

861
00:35:25,706 --> 00:35:29,460
We don't have a later in position

862
00:35:29,502 --> 00:35:33,089
 right now that has the intelligence to be.

863
00:35:34,340 --> 00:35:34,757
Not at all.

864
00:35:34,841 --> 00:35:36,759
I know one guy, but I'm not going to make predictions.

865
00:35:36,801 --> 00:35:39,137
Well, I know who you're going for.

866
00:35:39,220 --> 00:35:42,181
Yeah, yeah, that guy's just brilliant, but...

867
00:35:42,265 --> 00:35:45,309
But the thing is, like David Jeremiah said, if you think you know who

868
00:35:45,309 --> 00:35:46,978
 the Antichrist is, you got left behind.

869
00:35:47,144 --> 00:35:47,770
That's right.

870
00:35:47,770 --> 00:35:48,354
That's right.

871
00:35:48,437 --> 00:35:49,188
That's right.

872
00:35:49,272 --> 00:35:52,608
I mean, he won't be revealed until then.

873
00:35:52,692 --> 00:35:54,610
No, but he very much could be alive right now.

874
00:35:54,694 --> 00:35:56,153
Absolutely, yes.

875
00:35:56,237 --> 00:35:57,947
probably 40 something years old.

876
00:35:58,030 --> 00:35:58,614
Yeah, yeah.

877
00:35:58,698 --> 00:36:02,159
Which is going to put us really

878
00:36:02,201 --> 00:36:04,120
 close to being out of here, right?

879
00:36:04,245 --> 00:36:04,829
Oh, yeah.

880
00:36:04,871 --> 00:36:06,038
the false prophets walking around.

881
00:36:06,164 --> 00:36:07,039
Yeah, yeah.

882
00:36:07,123 --> 00:36:09,041
These guys are they're getting ready.

883
00:36:09,083 --> 00:36:10,084
They're getting ready.

884
00:36:10,168 --> 00:36:10,668
All right.

885
00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:11,669
All right.

886
00:36:11,711 --> 00:36:13,170
It'll do five.

887
00:36:13,337 --> 00:36:14,380
Let's do 5 and six.

888
00:36:14,505 --> 00:36:14,922
Okay.

889
00:36:14,922 --> 00:36:17,884
It says there was given to him a mouth speaking

890
00:36:17,925 --> 00:36:21,095
 arrogant words and blasphemies, an authority to act

891
00:36:21,095 --> 00:36:24,140
 for 42 months was given to him, and

892
00:36:24,140 --> 00:36:27,602
 he opened his mouth and blasphemies, blasphemies against God,

893
00:36:27,643 --> 00:36:30,688
 to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, that is those

894
00:36:30,688 --> 00:36:31,939
 who dwell in heaven.

895
00:36:32,023 --> 00:36:35,193
This dude's rough.

896
00:36:35,234 --> 00:36:35,943
Yes, he is.

897
00:36:35,985 --> 00:36:37,403
Yes, he is rough.

898
00:36:37,486 --> 00:36:39,155
He thinks he's invincible, don't he?

899
00:36:39,197 --> 00:36:40,865
He's going to be a smooth talker.

900
00:36:40,948 --> 00:36:44,327
He will seem to have the

901
00:36:44,368 --> 00:36:46,704
 solution to all the problems, right?

902
00:36:46,787 --> 00:36:48,623
They probably will for a little while.

903
00:36:48,748 --> 00:36:49,373
And will.

904
00:36:49,457 --> 00:36:49,874
Yeah, yeah.

905
00:36:49,957 --> 00:36:52,752
He'll solve some issues that they'll say, 0 man, thank you.

906
00:36:52,835 --> 00:36:55,922
But the good thing is that his power is

907
00:36:55,963 --> 00:36:57,506
 going to be limited to 3.5 years.

908
00:36:57,548 --> 00:36:58,299
Yeah.

909
00:36:58,341 --> 00:36:58,966
Yeah.

910
00:36:59,050 --> 00:37:01,594
And that's that's where that number comes in again, right?

911
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,764
42 months, which a prophetic year is 360

912
00:37:04,764 --> 00:37:06,432
 days and that's 3.5 years.

913
00:37:06,515 --> 00:37:10,102
years, 1260 days, it says in some place.

914
00:37:10,186 --> 00:37:14,023
Daniel 7, 25 kind of says the same thing.

915
00:37:14,065 --> 00:37:17,235
It says he will speak out against the most high and wear down

916
00:37:17,235 --> 00:37:20,321
 the saints of the highest one, and he will intend to make alterations

917
00:37:20,363 --> 00:37:23,449
 in times and in law, and that will be given into his

918
00:37:23,491 --> 00:37:25,993
 hand for a time, times, and half the time.

919
00:37:26,077 --> 00:37:26,953
Yeah, yeah.

920
00:37:27,036 --> 00:37:27,453
Yeah.

921
00:37:27,495 --> 00:37:28,788
3.5 years.

922
00:37:28,871 --> 00:37:31,832
His his blasphemies are just it's

923
00:37:31,874 --> 00:37:33,292
 too much to comprehend almost.

924
00:37:33,376 --> 00:37:36,545
I mean, I'm thankful the church is going to be gone.

925
00:37:36,671 --> 00:37:39,757
I'm thankful that we're going to be taken out and taken home

926
00:37:39,799 --> 00:37:41,592
 before this before this happens.

927
00:37:41,717 --> 00:37:42,343
Amen.

928
00:37:42,385 --> 00:37:45,554
These guys who are saying the

929
00:37:45,554 --> 00:37:48,724
 raptures not going to take place and won't

930
00:37:48,766 --> 00:37:51,852
 take place and that we're supposed to make heaven here, man,

931
00:37:51,852 --> 00:37:53,938
 you guys are, you've lost your minds.

932
00:37:54,021 --> 00:37:56,774
If you read this and you can't, you can't see it.

933
00:37:56,857 --> 00:37:57,858
you're delusional.

934
00:37:57,942 --> 00:38:00,027
You'll be part of the issue and the problem.

935
00:38:00,069 --> 00:38:03,572
You'll be the ones that'll be part of this false religion when it comes up.

936
00:38:03,739 --> 00:38:05,324
when that when that ugly head comes up.

937
00:38:05,408 --> 00:38:08,452
Right, when all that prosperity is given out for, you know, a few months.

938
00:38:08,536 --> 00:38:11,580
But I believe, you

939
00:38:11,622 --> 00:38:15,668
 know, he's got authority for 42 months and that's

940
00:38:15,668 --> 00:38:17,503
 that's the last half of the tribulation, right?

941
00:38:17,586 --> 00:38:20,006
But he starts at the 1st of the tribulation.

942
00:38:20,131 --> 00:38:20,715
Yeah.

943
00:38:20,715 --> 00:38:24,468
So he's he's, I believe he's in place for the whole 7 years.

944
00:38:24,552 --> 00:38:25,177
Right.

945
00:38:25,219 --> 00:38:28,389
And, of course, that 7 years comes out of Daniel's prophecy

946
00:38:28,389 --> 00:38:32,810
 in Daniel 9 and it's last week of a judgment against Israel.

947
00:38:33,519 --> 00:38:36,564
But, uh, it's, it can get a little

948
00:38:36,564 --> 00:38:39,066
 confused and figuring out where this stuff places too.

949
00:38:39,150 --> 00:38:42,236
But I believe his full authority comes when he

950
00:38:42,278 --> 00:38:46,115
 commits the idolatry,

951
00:38:46,115 --> 00:38:50,369
 puts up the idolatrous statue or whatever it's going to be that abomination

952
00:38:50,369 --> 00:38:53,414
 of desolation in the temple, I believe that kicks it off.

953
00:38:53,497 --> 00:38:56,709
That kicks off the great tribulation that kicks off his authority reign.

954
00:38:56,792 --> 00:38:59,336
His new kingdom that he's going to take over everything.

955
00:38:59,420 --> 00:39:02,506
They'd almost have to because that's where the tables will turn, right?

956
00:39:02,590 --> 00:39:06,635
That's where that's where the, okay, I'm going to help.

957
00:39:06,761 --> 00:39:09,930
I've got some good ideas and people are starting to

958
00:39:09,930 --> 00:39:12,975
 take notice and then the transition

959
00:39:12,975 --> 00:39:15,311
 of worship me look to me.

960
00:39:15,394 --> 00:39:17,188
I'm going to be Jesus for you.

961
00:39:17,229 --> 00:39:19,774
I'll bring you salvation.

962
00:39:19,899 --> 00:39:20,941
Yeah, right.

963
00:39:21,025 --> 00:39:24,653
And he's got that covenant at 7 year covenant out of Daniel, right?

964
00:39:24,737 --> 00:39:26,947
He's got that seven-year covenant and he breaks it in the middle.

965
00:39:27,031 --> 00:39:28,157
That's right

966
00:39:28,365 --> 00:39:31,118
You know, and the thing is, all of the foundation of this.

967
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,205
All of the things to allow this to happen are

968
00:39:34,246 --> 00:39:36,165
 being laid right now.

969
00:39:36,207 --> 00:39:39,251
Like you mentioned, the people, the people that think that, oh,

970
00:39:39,251 --> 00:39:42,296
 we're going to, we've got to bring the kingdom of heaven to earth and

971
00:39:42,338 --> 00:39:43,714
 we're going to make that happen.

972
00:39:43,756 --> 00:39:46,717
Y'all, that is a false teaching and a false

973
00:39:46,759 --> 00:39:49,845
 religion that falls right in line with what the Antichrist wants.

974
00:39:49,929 --> 00:39:50,888
The people that are teaching.

975
00:39:50,971 --> 00:39:52,890
There's no difference between all the religions.

976
00:39:52,932 --> 00:39:53,766
It's all the same thing.

977
00:39:53,849 --> 00:39:55,643
We're all just worshiping different aspects of God.

978
00:39:55,726 --> 00:39:59,480
That is a lie from the very pit of hell, that is going,

979
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,525
 it is exactly what he's going to stand up and say, oh, you're part of

980
00:40:02,566 --> 00:40:04,652
 this religion, you're part of this religion, you're part of this religion.

981
00:40:04,693 --> 00:40:06,112
No, no, no, no, that's all the same thing.

982
00:40:06,195 --> 00:40:08,114
We're all worshiping the same one.

983
00:40:08,197 --> 00:40:11,492
Come and worship me because I am the representative

984
00:40:11,492 --> 00:40:13,744
 and I am the embodiment of God on earth.

985
00:40:13,828 --> 00:40:16,914
And he's going to be able to say it and trick people because we have

986
00:40:16,956 --> 00:40:19,917
 been allowing it to be said and we're not speaking out against it enough.

987
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,045
And the people that are out there saying that, oh, no,

988
00:40:23,087 --> 00:40:25,840
 no, no, no, you want to, you want to worship everybody correctly.

989
00:40:25,965 --> 00:40:27,675
Just being just be a Muslim.

990
00:40:27,758 --> 00:40:28,801
Just be a Muslim.

991
00:40:28,884 --> 00:40:31,679
We accept all the prophets and Muhammad.

992
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:32,805
That's something there.

993
00:40:32,847 --> 00:40:35,933
That's how how is this guy going to reconcile all that

994
00:40:35,975 --> 00:40:37,977
 stuff without a monster delusion?

995
00:40:38,060 --> 00:40:41,021
How's it going to bring Christians or fake Christians

996
00:40:41,063 --> 00:40:44,108
 and Muslims and all these different groups,

997
00:40:44,108 --> 00:40:47,069
 Hindus and Buddhists and all these different people with all these

998
00:40:47,111 --> 00:40:48,112
 different beliefs together?

999
00:40:48,154 --> 00:40:51,198
And I believe there are things, and I've got a list of some

1000
00:40:51,198 --> 00:40:54,368
 stuff we can go over that are happening right now that

1001
00:40:54,368 --> 00:40:56,871
 would create that would contribute to that delusion.

1002
00:40:56,954 --> 00:41:00,458
Yeah. that's going to, that's going to change people down to their core.

1003
00:41:00,583 --> 00:41:04,336
Goodness, we have the Catholic Church actively trying to do that today.

1004
00:41:04,420 --> 00:41:05,796
And they have been for almost 30 years.

1005
00:41:05,921 --> 00:41:06,881
Yeah, yeah.

1006
00:41:06,922 --> 00:41:08,632
And here's here's the issue.

1007
00:41:08,716 --> 00:41:09,550
Here's what's going on.

1008
00:41:09,633 --> 00:41:11,635
That's going to cause this thing too.

1009
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,763
Even people who have who have heard

1010
00:41:14,805 --> 00:41:18,142
 some scripture and maybe been to church,

1011
00:41:18,142 --> 00:41:21,103
 some that didn't get saved and going to

1012
00:41:21,145 --> 00:41:22,146
 this tribulation thing.

1013
00:41:22,229 --> 00:41:25,858
And some of these people are going to be people that were in church every Sunday.

1014
00:41:25,941 --> 00:41:28,903
I want you to understand that because there's a lot of these false religions

1015
00:41:28,944 --> 00:41:32,156
 that are teaching this stuff and what they're doing, they're twisting the scripture

1016
00:41:32,198 --> 00:41:34,700
 in such a way that it's no longer truth.

1017
00:41:34,783 --> 00:41:37,828
And it doesn't hold, it doesn't hold the weight

1018
00:41:37,828 --> 00:41:38,996
 that it used to hold.

1019
00:41:39,079 --> 00:41:42,041
And so that you can't, we live in a world where you can't go

1020
00:41:42,082 --> 00:41:45,127
 back and you can't argue a subject like abortion

1021
00:41:45,127 --> 00:41:48,964
 with scripture because they don't believe scripture.

1022
00:41:49,048 --> 00:41:51,967
They've twisted scripture so much and so it's insane.

1023
00:41:52,051 --> 00:41:55,095
And I've seen this today and I've seen this

1024
00:41:55,095 --> 00:41:56,680
 today by somebody local.

1025
00:41:56,722 --> 00:42:00,434
And I mean, and this is just a, it's just a representation of,

1026
00:42:00,434 --> 00:42:02,645
 of, of how twisted it can get.

1027
00:42:02,728 --> 00:42:05,898
And this person put Romans 121 on there,

1028
00:42:05,898 --> 00:42:08,943
 I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present

1029
00:42:08,984 --> 00:42:12,071
 your bodies as a living sacrifice, wholly acceptable unto

1030
00:42:12,071 --> 00:42:13,489
 God, which is your reasonable service.

1031
00:42:13,572 --> 00:42:16,534
And he was taking the part about the living sacrifice.

1032
00:42:16,659 --> 00:42:18,202
And this is what he said.

1033
00:42:18,285 --> 00:42:19,161
This is what he said.

1034
00:42:19,245 --> 00:42:21,872
Sacrifice is not self effort.

1035
00:42:21,914 --> 00:42:25,793
Sacrifice is not God demanding pain to prove a point.

1036
00:42:25,876 --> 00:42:30,422
Sacrifice is the quiet surrender of your

1037
00:42:30,464 --> 00:42:33,509
 own quest for clutching control for the sake of

1038
00:42:33,509 --> 00:42:34,510
 love and trust.

1039
00:42:34,593 --> 00:42:37,554
And he goes

1040
00:42:37,596 --> 00:42:40,808
 on and he talks about a living sacrifice is not destroyed.

1041
00:42:40,891 --> 00:42:41,517
It's offered.

1042
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,062
And so he starts to twist

1043
00:42:45,104 --> 00:42:46,397
 what sacrifices.

1044
00:42:46,397 --> 00:42:50,234
When he tells us to become a living sacrifice,

1045
00:42:50,234 --> 00:42:54,780
 you can't say that there's no self-effort in that.

1046
00:42:54,863 --> 00:42:58,742
I mean, you have to be willing to submit yourself to God.

1047
00:42:58,826 --> 00:43:00,286
It's submission, right?

1048
00:43:00,869 --> 00:43:03,789
It is to even unto death, right?

1049
00:43:03,914 --> 00:43:06,125
And it may not be death for you, right?

1050
00:43:06,208 --> 00:43:09,295
It may for me, it may

1051
00:43:09,336 --> 00:43:12,298
 be death for you, it may be time for Tyler,

1052
00:43:12,339 --> 00:43:15,676
 it may be money, but it's willing to give

1053
00:43:15,676 --> 00:43:18,721
 everything over, which takes some, which again,

1054
00:43:18,762 --> 00:43:20,306
 it has to be controlled by the Holy Spirit.

1055
00:43:20,347 --> 00:43:21,348
I get that part of it.

1056
00:43:21,432 --> 00:43:24,643
But, but, but, it's, it's more than,

1057
00:43:24,685 --> 00:43:26,645
 it's not, it's not gentle, right?

1058
00:43:26,729 --> 00:43:28,731
It's not...

1059
00:43:28,814 --> 00:43:31,900
Yeah, and he's saying it doesn't demand

1060
00:43:31,942 --> 00:43:34,278
 pain or to prove a point.

1061
00:43:34,361 --> 00:43:35,112
Oh, sure it does.

1062
00:43:35,237 --> 00:43:38,282
It's showing the world that I'm willing as

1063
00:43:38,324 --> 00:43:41,285
 a man or woman of God to give up

1064
00:43:41,327 --> 00:43:43,829
 myself for what God wants, right?

1065
00:43:43,871 --> 00:43:47,041
And if that means dying for the effort, if

1066
00:43:47,082 --> 00:43:51,211
 that means dying and being beheaded for the cause of Christ, then so be it.

1067
00:43:51,253 --> 00:43:54,298
If that means losing everything I have, everything I

1068
00:43:54,340 --> 00:43:57,301
 own, the monetary value of what I have, I mean,

1069
00:43:57,343 --> 00:44:00,387
 go back and tell Joe this.

1070
00:44:00,429 --> 00:44:01,430
Yeah, right?

1071
00:44:01,513 --> 00:44:04,808
You go back and tell Job that lost everything

1072
00:44:04,808 --> 00:44:06,226
 that...

1073
00:44:06,310 --> 00:44:07,603
Joe would like a word.

1074
00:44:07,770 --> 00:44:09,980
This is not demanding pain and effort.

1075
00:44:10,064 --> 00:44:12,024
This is deny yourself.

1076
00:44:12,107 --> 00:44:14,068
Hiccup your cross and follow me.

1077
00:44:14,109 --> 00:44:15,527
I don't care to call a guy.

1078
00:44:15,611 --> 00:44:17,404
I mean, I go down, this is ridiculous.

1079
00:44:17,446 --> 00:44:19,573
I start saying, go look at what the apostles went through.

1080
00:44:19,657 --> 00:44:21,492
Go look at what the 12 disciples went through.

1081
00:44:21,492 --> 00:44:24,578
Every single one of them suffered

1082
00:44:24,620 --> 00:44:28,457
 beyond anything that we've ever even considered. upside

1083
00:44:28,457 --> 00:44:29,750
 down, bull and alive.

1084
00:44:29,833 --> 00:44:31,126
I mean, oh, man.

1085
00:44:31,210 --> 00:44:33,837
And then look at the sacrifices they're taking place.

1086
00:44:33,921 --> 00:44:37,508
Tell these people over in China and all

1087
00:44:37,508 --> 00:44:41,512
 these different remote places that are getting killed for their faith, right?

1088
00:44:41,595 --> 00:44:43,180
in the Middle East.

1089
00:44:43,305 --> 00:44:43,764
Come on.

1090
00:44:43,847 --> 00:44:45,015
No, don't, don't, no.

1091
00:44:45,099 --> 00:44:46,475
Yeah.

1092
00:44:46,475 --> 00:44:49,436
And I'm going to tell you because it's just on my mind

1093
00:44:49,478 --> 00:44:51,146
 after watching that show so much.

1094
00:44:51,188 --> 00:44:52,481
Stephen would like a word.

1095
00:44:52,606 --> 00:44:54,983
Sure, he would.

1096
00:44:55,067 --> 00:44:57,277
I mean, he was they lied about it.

1097
00:44:57,319 --> 00:44:58,612
They lied about what he said.

1098
00:44:58,695 --> 00:45:00,114
They said he was saying things that he wasn't.

1099
00:45:00,197 --> 00:45:02,574
and it's like he didn't do anything wrong.

1100
00:45:02,658 --> 00:45:05,869
And at the end of the day, his sacrifice

1101
00:45:05,911 --> 00:45:08,956
 was so that God could get through to one man that needed that he needed to

1102
00:45:08,956 --> 00:45:10,082
 go and spread the gospel.

1103
00:45:10,165 --> 00:45:11,166
Yeah.

1104
00:45:11,208 --> 00:45:14,169
I mean, goodness, it requires sacrifice

1105
00:45:14,169 --> 00:45:15,170
 requires sacrifice.

1106
00:45:15,254 --> 00:45:16,713
Otherwise, it wouldn't be a sacrifice.

1107
00:45:16,839 --> 00:45:19,800
Sacrifices, just 1st

1108
00:45:19,842 --> 00:45:22,386
 thing comes to mind if you read the Old Testament is a death.

1109
00:45:22,469 --> 00:45:23,846
Every single time.

1110
00:45:23,887 --> 00:45:26,557
You said deny yourself and take up your cross.

1111
00:45:26,682 --> 00:45:27,641
It is, isn't it?

1112
00:45:27,683 --> 00:45:27,975
Yes.

1113
00:45:28,100 --> 00:45:31,812
I mean, and Jesus uses some tough

1114
00:45:31,812 --> 00:45:32,980
 words there, right?

1115
00:45:33,105 --> 00:45:36,150
If you're not willing to leave father and mother and

1116
00:45:36,150 --> 00:45:37,568
 and go, right?

1117
00:45:37,651 --> 00:45:39,319
Yeah, then you're not worthy.

1118
00:45:39,445 --> 00:45:41,947
Whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

1119
00:45:42,030 --> 00:45:42,531
Find it.

1120
00:45:42,614 --> 00:45:43,740
Yes, come on.

1121
00:45:43,824 --> 00:45:45,284
To live is Christ, to die is game.

1122
00:45:45,367 --> 00:45:46,076
What did Paul say?

1123
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:47,411
That's exactly right.

1124
00:45:47,536 --> 00:45:48,662
That's exactly right.

1125
00:45:48,746 --> 00:45:52,332
So, and Paul went through,

1126
00:45:52,332 --> 00:45:53,625
 again, Paul would like a word.

1127
00:45:53,709 --> 00:45:56,670
He said, I suffered more than all

1128
00:45:56,712 --> 00:45:57,755
 of you did, right?

1129
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,339
I've been I've been beaten.

1130
00:45:59,423 --> 00:46:00,549
I've been shipwrecked.

1131
00:46:00,632 --> 00:46:02,718
I've been snaking, all those things.

1132
00:46:02,843 --> 00:46:04,303
You know, come on.

1133
00:46:04,428 --> 00:46:05,304
What did he say?

1134
00:46:05,387 --> 00:46:08,182
was it in a Galatians where he says, I, leave me alone.

1135
00:46:08,265 --> 00:46:10,768
I bear in my body the marks of Jesus Christ.

1136
00:46:10,893 --> 00:46:12,686
He's got stripes on his back.

1137
00:46:12,728 --> 00:46:13,896
Yes, yes.

1138
00:46:14,021 --> 00:46:14,605
That's right

1139
00:46:14,771 --> 00:46:18,108
No telling what his head looked like after he got stoned and left for dead.

1140
00:46:18,192 --> 00:46:18,692
No.

1141
00:46:18,734 --> 00:46:21,778
Yeah, there he is.

1142
00:46:21,862 --> 00:46:25,157
In verse 17, chapter chapter 6, from now on,

1143
00:46:25,157 --> 00:46:29,036
 let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand marks of Jesus.

1144
00:46:29,119 --> 00:46:30,078
Amen.

1145
00:46:30,162 --> 00:46:31,205
Amen.

1146
00:46:31,288 --> 00:46:31,997
Amen.

1147
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,208
Talk about being branded for Christ.

1148
00:46:34,291 --> 00:46:34,750
Goodness.

1149
00:46:34,833 --> 00:46:36,543
Yeah, yeah.

1150
00:46:36,627 --> 00:46:40,088
I mean, so so to live

1151
00:46:40,088 --> 00:46:43,425
 for Christ, again, in the words of Paul,

1152
00:46:43,467 --> 00:46:45,302
 it is it is gain, right?

1153
00:46:45,385 --> 00:46:48,597
It is game, but it's going to cost you something.

1154
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,766
It cost him everything, right?

1155
00:46:50,849 --> 00:46:54,144
We don't, it's not that we're paying for our salvation or

1156
00:46:54,144 --> 00:46:57,439
 paying for our eternity, that we get to spend with him, but

1157
00:46:57,439 --> 00:47:00,609
 it's that we are willing, and as Paul

1158
00:47:00,609 --> 00:47:03,654
 says, rather, he said, willing

1159
00:47:03,695 --> 00:47:05,781
 to suffer for the cause of Christ.

1160
00:47:05,864 --> 00:47:07,991
He said, he said, I'll lay down my life.

1161
00:47:08,075 --> 00:47:09,243
I'll do whatever it takes.

1162
00:47:09,326 --> 00:47:12,663
It is the recognition and acknowledgment that the heavens

1163
00:47:12,704 --> 00:47:16,166
 are his throne and the earth is his footstool and he built everything

1164
00:47:16,166 --> 00:47:17,876
 that is built with his own hands.

1165
00:47:18,043 --> 00:47:19,753
that this world is not our home.

1166
00:47:19,836 --> 00:47:21,088
Exactly.

1167
00:47:21,129 --> 00:47:21,630
This is nothing.

1168
00:47:21,755 --> 00:47:22,714
This is ephemeral.

1169
00:47:22,756 --> 00:47:26,510
He made all of this, and if he wants to take it, it's his to take.

1170
00:47:26,593 --> 00:47:27,594
It's not ours to begin with.

1171
00:47:27,761 --> 00:47:29,137
Our lives are not our own.

1172
00:47:29,179 --> 00:47:29,680
That's right.

1173
00:47:30,347 --> 00:47:32,432
And by the way, that's true whether you're saved or not.

1174
00:47:32,474 --> 00:47:34,476
Your soul is not yours.

1175
00:47:34,601 --> 00:47:35,602
That's right.

1176
00:47:35,686 --> 00:47:35,894
Yeah.

1177
00:47:35,978 --> 00:47:37,563
You've been bought the price.

1178
00:47:37,646 --> 00:47:38,272
Amen.

1179
00:47:38,355 --> 00:47:39,481
Thankful.

1180
00:47:39,565 --> 00:47:41,024
Yeah.

1181
00:47:41,066 --> 00:47:44,111
We on seven, seven, eight.

1182
00:47:44,194 --> 00:47:45,028
Yeah, seven.

1183
00:47:45,028 --> 00:47:47,823
Turned out to be a good segue to seven, didn't it?

1184
00:47:47,948 --> 00:47:48,991
Let's do 7 and 8 here.

1185
00:47:49,157 --> 00:47:52,244
And it was given unto him to make war with

1186
00:47:52,286 --> 00:47:55,330
 the saints and to overcome them and power

1187
00:47:55,330 --> 00:47:59,209
 was given him over all kindreds and tongues and nations.

1188
00:47:59,293 --> 00:48:02,921
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him,

1189
00:48:02,963 --> 00:48:06,049
 whose names are not written in the book of life

1190
00:48:06,091 --> 00:48:08,885
 of the lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

1191
00:48:08,969 --> 00:48:12,139
So we find here

1192
00:48:12,139 --> 00:48:15,225
 in these 2 verses, the tribulation saints

1193
00:48:15,267 --> 00:48:17,603
 are going to be overtaken during this time.

1194
00:48:17,686 --> 00:48:21,690
I mean, many or most of them will become martyrs.

1195
00:48:21,732 --> 00:48:23,150
That's the ones under the altar.

1196
00:48:23,317 --> 00:48:23,775
That's right.

1197
00:48:23,859 --> 00:48:25,110
Exactly.

1198
00:48:25,152 --> 00:48:25,360
Yeah.

1199
00:48:25,485 --> 00:48:28,447
And it's going to be a terrible time to be living here

1200
00:48:28,447 --> 00:48:30,449
 on this earth, isn't it?

1201
00:48:30,574 --> 00:48:32,409
I mean, it's gonna be...

1202
00:48:32,409 --> 00:48:33,160
You don't want to be here.

1203
00:48:33,285 --> 00:48:36,246
I mean, when we say that God is truly

1204
00:48:36,288 --> 00:48:40,208
 letting Satan just loose on the earth.

1205
00:48:40,292 --> 00:48:41,293
That's what we mean.

1206
00:48:41,418 --> 00:48:45,130
Permitted to him to make war against the saints and conquer them.

1207
00:48:45,213 --> 00:48:48,800
He was given ruling authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation.

1208
00:48:48,967 --> 00:48:51,929
The only person other than him that has

1209
00:48:51,970 --> 00:48:54,931
 that authority is Christ and Christ goes, I'm going to let it go for a bit.

1210
00:48:55,057 --> 00:48:55,557
Yeah.

1211
00:48:55,599 --> 00:48:57,392
For 42 months.

1212
00:48:57,434 --> 00:48:58,977
He's going to lay them low.

1213
00:48:59,061 --> 00:49:00,646
Everybody he can.

1214
00:49:00,729 --> 00:49:02,522
I mean, we can look at history.

1215
00:49:02,606 --> 00:49:04,399
We see Antiochus, how he laid them low.

1216
00:49:04,483 --> 00:49:07,027
We see Adolf Hitler, how he laid 6000000 of them low.

1217
00:49:07,110 --> 00:49:08,070
right?

1218
00:49:08,111 --> 00:49:09,363
that's pretty recent history.

1219
00:49:09,446 --> 00:49:10,197
Absolutely.

1220
00:49:10,238 --> 00:49:13,825
And it's going to get ugly and it ain't going to just be Jewish people.

1221
00:49:13,867 --> 00:49:16,954
It's going to be Christians that are saved after the rapture and

1222
00:49:16,995 --> 00:49:20,374
 he's going to come after the 144,000, but he's

1223
00:49:20,415 --> 00:49:22,626
 going to come after everybody that claims the name of Jesus.

1224
00:49:22,709 --> 00:49:23,752
Right?

1225
00:49:23,835 --> 00:49:27,422
And understand that this is not,

1226
00:49:27,464 --> 00:49:29,132
 again, this is not an allegory.

1227
00:49:29,174 --> 00:49:30,342
This is physical.

1228
00:49:30,467 --> 00:49:32,844
This is literal stuff, and this is global.

1229
00:49:32,928 --> 00:49:36,098
This is not something that's happened before, ever on

1230
00:49:36,098 --> 00:49:38,600
 a global scale from any of those kingdoms that we've looked at.

1231
00:49:38,684 --> 00:49:39,017
so far.

1232
00:49:39,101 --> 00:49:39,726
It's been regional.

1233
00:49:39,810 --> 00:49:40,936
Right.

1234
00:49:41,019 --> 00:49:41,728
This is global.

1235
00:49:41,770 --> 00:49:44,856
He's talking about every tribe, every nation, every people,

1236
00:49:44,898 --> 00:49:46,566
 around the world.

1237
00:49:46,650 --> 00:49:49,736
And while Peter, while John, Peter, while

1238
00:49:49,778 --> 00:49:52,739
 John is seeing this in a vision where he's seeing

1239
00:49:52,781 --> 00:49:57,160
 a beast, with all these things given to him, it

1240
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,705
 doesn't change the fact that these things are literally going to happen.

1241
00:49:59,830 --> 00:50:02,249
Again, you look at the way it's described.

1242
00:50:02,374 --> 00:50:04,501
The beast, yes, we have descriptions of things like that.

1243
00:50:04,584 --> 00:50:07,671
There is nowhere else in the scripture where you're described specific

1244
00:50:07,713 --> 00:50:12,384
 events like this that make it clear that this is to represent something else.

1245
00:50:12,467 --> 00:50:13,844
This is literal.

1246
00:50:13,885 --> 00:50:14,886
He is going to be given this power.

1247
00:50:14,970 --> 00:50:17,723
I mean, I mean, why would you take it any other way?

1248
00:50:17,806 --> 00:50:20,892
I mean, how many of the prophecies of Jesus 1st come and

1249
00:50:20,892 --> 00:50:23,145
 we're figurative, you know?

1250
00:50:23,228 --> 00:50:23,729
Right.

1251
00:50:23,770 --> 00:50:24,521
They were literal.

1252
00:50:24,646 --> 00:50:25,272
That's right.

1253
00:50:25,272 --> 00:50:26,440
They felt born virgin.

1254
00:50:26,565 --> 00:50:29,526
Well, and there's a great example because all

1255
00:50:29,568 --> 00:50:32,320
 of the priests, everybody that was there during Jesus time.

1256
00:50:32,362 --> 00:50:33,363
They thought it was all figurative.

1257
00:50:33,447 --> 00:50:36,241
They didn't think he was literally going to be born of a virgin.

1258
00:50:36,324 --> 00:50:39,119
Yeah, in an obscure part of the country.

1259
00:50:39,202 --> 00:50:40,078
You know, Bethlehem?

1260
00:50:40,162 --> 00:50:40,370
Really?

1261
00:50:40,454 --> 00:50:41,580
Okay, Bethlehem, Bethlehem.

1262
00:50:41,663 --> 00:50:44,958
Yeah, they, they, they, it never occurred to them.

1263
00:50:44,958 --> 00:50:46,334
He's going to fleet Egypt and, yeah.

1264
00:50:46,585 --> 00:50:47,169
All this stuff.

1265
00:50:47,252 --> 00:50:48,920
100s of these prophecies.

1266
00:50:49,004 --> 00:50:49,212
Yeah.

1267
00:50:49,296 --> 00:50:53,133
And they're looking at it thinking and they were looking for people who figuratively

1268
00:50:53,133 --> 00:50:55,761
 filled that out and figuratively did that.

1269
00:50:55,844 --> 00:50:59,056
And then the one that actually fulfilled every single

1270
00:50:59,056 --> 00:51:01,808
 one of the prophecies is standing in front and they go, kill him.

1271
00:51:01,892 --> 00:51:03,435
What?

1272
00:51:03,518 --> 00:51:06,063
You guys not paying attention?

1273
00:51:06,146 --> 00:51:09,191
You got to pay attention because at some

1274
00:51:09,191 --> 00:51:10,567
 point, these things are going to happen.

1275
00:51:10,567 --> 00:51:11,693
At some point, you're going to be here.

1276
00:51:11,777 --> 00:51:12,652
going to be undeniable.

1277
00:51:12,736 --> 00:51:13,612
And what are you going to do?

1278
00:51:13,695 --> 00:51:16,656
Just close your eyes, stick your eyes, stick your head in the sand and say,

1279
00:51:16,698 --> 00:51:18,366
 ah, I'll just do what he says.

1280
00:51:18,450 --> 00:51:19,326
Yeah, yeah.

1281
00:51:19,409 --> 00:51:21,536
And that's exactly what the world's gonna do.

1282
00:51:21,620 --> 00:51:22,454
Yeah.

1283
00:51:22,454 --> 00:51:23,622
Yeah.

1284
00:51:23,747 --> 00:51:27,334
And we got, we got the book, the

1285
00:51:27,334 --> 00:51:28,502
 book of life here.

1286
00:51:28,585 --> 00:51:29,169
Yes.

1287
00:51:29,169 --> 00:51:32,547
I guess this is the 1st mention of it in Revelation, and we're

1288
00:51:32,589 --> 00:51:33,840
 going to see that at the Great White Firm.

1289
00:51:33,924 --> 00:51:35,300
Yeah, we'll see it again.

1290
00:51:35,383 --> 00:51:38,345
He's not Santa Claus,

1291
00:51:38,386 --> 00:51:40,305
 but he's checking his names anymore.

1292
00:51:40,347 --> 00:51:42,140
He's recording everything.

1293
00:51:42,224 --> 00:51:45,185
Everything is the perfect judge, the righteous judge.

1294
00:51:45,268 --> 00:51:47,646
He knows the hearts, thoughts.

1295
00:51:47,729 --> 00:51:48,855
He knows intentions.

1296
00:51:48,939 --> 00:51:49,648
He knows everything.

1297
00:51:49,689 --> 00:51:50,190
That's right

1298
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,567
All right.

1299
00:51:52,651 --> 00:51:53,151
First nine?

1300
00:51:53,235 --> 00:51:56,196
Yeah, get those last 2 or get

1301
00:51:56,238 --> 00:51:59,449
 those 2 and then we could switch to uh,

1302
00:51:59,491 --> 00:52:02,869
 I think 11 starts the um, uh,

1303
00:52:02,911 --> 00:52:04,579
 the false profit.

1304
00:52:04,663 --> 00:52:08,041
and so we get it'd be a good place to do the false profit stock.

1305
00:52:08,125 --> 00:52:08,291
Yeah.

1306
00:52:08,375 --> 00:52:08,542
Yeah.

1307
00:52:08,542 --> 00:52:08,875
Okay.

1308
00:52:08,959 --> 00:52:09,960
All right.

1309
00:52:10,043 --> 00:52:12,712
So verse nine, if anyone has an ear, let him hear.

1310
00:52:12,796 --> 00:52:16,800
If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity, he goes.

1311
00:52:16,883 --> 00:52:20,262
If anyone kills with a sword, with a sword, he must be killed.

1312
00:52:20,387 --> 00:52:23,598
Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints.

1313
00:52:23,682 --> 00:52:25,517
Tell me what that means.

1314
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,562
I see

1315
00:52:28,603 --> 00:52:29,729
 it as divine retribution.

1316
00:52:29,771 --> 00:52:32,941
Yeah, yeah, I mean, it

1317
00:52:32,983 --> 00:52:34,359
 includes everyone, right?

1318
00:52:34,401 --> 00:52:37,904
But it's meant for the tribulation saints because

1319
00:52:37,946 --> 00:52:40,073
 we won't be here.

1320
00:52:40,157 --> 00:52:43,326
And what God is

1321
00:52:43,368 --> 00:52:46,329
 telling them through John is that there

1322
00:52:46,329 --> 00:52:49,499
 will be no use in resisting

1323
00:52:49,541 --> 00:52:52,711
 this beast at any time.

1324
00:52:52,752 --> 00:52:55,922
You'll be more likely to be killed and

1325
00:52:55,964 --> 00:52:58,758
 tortured than you will be to live during this time.

1326
00:52:58,842 --> 00:53:00,302
I mean, you're going to die.

1327
00:53:00,385 --> 00:53:03,430
And God's reign is going to

1328
00:53:03,430 --> 00:53:06,600
 be lifted from the earth during this time and he

1329
00:53:06,641 --> 00:53:10,145
 will allow Satan to seem to have control for

1330
00:53:10,186 --> 00:53:12,397
 a short time and have control for a short time.

1331
00:53:12,522 --> 00:53:16,026
I think this beast is going to be a political leader.

1332
00:53:16,109 --> 00:53:19,279
And probably,

1333
00:53:19,279 --> 00:53:21,948
 you know, he's going to be involved in politics somehow.

1334
00:53:22,032 --> 00:53:22,532
Oh, yeah.

1335
00:53:22,574 --> 00:53:26,161
Uh, and, and, uh, but, but he's going to have power.

1336
00:53:26,244 --> 00:53:27,787
He's going to have power politically.

1337
00:53:27,871 --> 00:53:31,333
He's going to have power influentially from

1338
00:53:31,333 --> 00:53:33,126
 money.

1339
00:53:33,210 --> 00:53:34,794
All the things.

1340
00:53:34,878 --> 00:53:38,048
He's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna have every angle covered

1341
00:53:38,048 --> 00:53:40,842
 to be able to draw people in, right?

1342
00:53:40,967 --> 00:53:43,094
To be able to say, I can relate to him.

1343
00:53:43,178 --> 00:53:45,555
Oh, and I can relate to him and I can relate to him.

1344
00:53:45,639 --> 00:53:47,182
And he's going to draw men.

1345
00:53:47,265 --> 00:53:48,516
But yeah.

1346
00:53:49,100 --> 00:53:52,562
He didn't kill us with a sword must

1347
00:53:52,604 --> 00:53:53,772
 be killed with a sword.

1348
00:53:53,855 --> 00:53:56,483
Here is the patience of the faith of the saints.

1349
00:53:56,566 --> 00:53:58,818
enduring to the end, right?

1350
00:53:58,902 --> 00:53:59,486
Yeah.

1351
00:53:59,527 --> 00:54:01,905
And probably the end won't last long.

1352
00:54:01,988 --> 00:54:05,033
I mean, again, the 144,000 are going to be the

1353
00:54:05,075 --> 00:54:06,493
 only ones sealed to the very end of this thing.

1354
00:54:06,576 --> 00:54:09,537
And it's a whole different 7 years than what we

1355
00:54:09,579 --> 00:54:10,705
 see in the church age in it.

1356
00:54:10,747 --> 00:54:14,125
And, you know, I was just thinking of Daniel chapter

1357
00:54:14,167 --> 00:54:17,629
 11 too, that his his little kingdom for

1358
00:54:17,671 --> 00:54:20,715
 the last 3.5 years where he's really in

1359
00:54:20,715 --> 00:54:23,677
 charge, I guess you could

1360
00:54:23,718 --> 00:54:26,763
 say, is he's going to have a lot of troubles.

1361
00:54:26,888 --> 00:54:29,933
Daniel chapter 11 says, uh, then he will

1362
00:54:29,975 --> 00:54:32,936
 stretch out his hand against other countries and the land of Egypt will not

1363
00:54:32,978 --> 00:54:35,313
 escape, but he will gain control of the hidden treasures.

1364
00:54:35,355 --> 00:54:38,400
And he says, but rumors from the east and from the north

1365
00:54:38,441 --> 00:54:42,278
 will disturb him and he will go forth with great wrath to destroy and annihilate many.

1366
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,656
So he's going to have uprisings coming against him.

1367
00:54:44,739 --> 00:54:45,365
He will.

1368
00:54:45,448 --> 00:54:45,615
Yeah.

1369
00:54:45,615 --> 00:54:45,949
Yeah.

1370
00:54:46,032 --> 00:54:49,494
And that's going to fragment before Jesus comes back.

1371
00:54:49,577 --> 00:54:53,456
And I think that's where, you know, all these armies gather together for Armageddon.

1372
00:54:53,540 --> 00:54:54,124
Absolutely.

1373
00:54:54,207 --> 00:54:54,624
Absolutely.

1374
00:54:54,749 --> 00:54:56,584
Do you think they're all there to fight?

1375
00:54:56,710 --> 00:55:00,463
Jesus, are they there to fight each other and then they see a common enemy?

1376
00:55:00,547 --> 00:55:01,131
Yes.

1377
00:55:01,214 --> 00:55:04,259
I think God's drawing

1378
00:55:04,300 --> 00:55:05,885
 them in.

1379
00:55:06,011 --> 00:55:08,888
Yeah, the way that the different pieces describe it.

1380
00:55:08,972 --> 00:55:12,058
I've always taken it as they show up because they they're they're gonna kind

1381
00:55:12,100 --> 00:55:14,227
 of take it out on each other.

1382
00:55:14,311 --> 00:55:16,438
Like, they're ready, they're ready to go ahead.

1383
00:55:16,521 --> 00:55:18,606
They don't really understand who they're coming against.

1384
00:55:18,732 --> 00:55:18,940
Right.

1385
00:55:18,982 --> 00:55:22,485
Like, who, you know, and then they say Jesus coming and it's like, oh, common enemy.

1386
00:55:22,569 --> 00:55:25,655
The enemy of my enemy is, you know, and

1387
00:55:25,697 --> 00:55:28,992
 they all turn and look at him and okay, we're going to go against him.

1388
00:55:29,075 --> 00:55:32,037
And then there's Jesus with an army behind him and they're

1389
00:55:32,078 --> 00:55:34,956
 all, you know, his blood to the horse's bridles instantly.

1390
00:55:34,998 --> 00:55:35,957
Yeah.

1391
00:55:35,957 --> 00:55:37,000
Man.

1392
00:55:37,167 --> 00:55:38,710
I mean, man.

1393
00:55:38,835 --> 00:55:39,419
Yeah.

1394
00:55:39,502 --> 00:55:41,880
What's coming there, it's...

1395
00:55:41,963 --> 00:55:43,673
I don't I don't want to be on the other side of that.

1396
00:55:43,757 --> 00:55:47,218
But I think a lot of it is, you know, armies coming against Antichrist.

1397
00:55:47,302 --> 00:55:48,011
Yeah, right.

1398
00:55:48,011 --> 00:55:49,971
And everybody's fighting each other.

1399
00:55:50,055 --> 00:55:52,932
Yeah, that's kind of how I've always taken that.

1400
00:55:53,016 --> 00:55:56,519
specifically that verse you read from Isaiah Whatner or Daniel.

1401
00:55:56,603 --> 00:55:59,564
The way I've always taken that was that they are

1402
00:55:59,606 --> 00:56:03,068
 coming there to fight each other and then Jesus just comes in and goes, I've had enough.

1403
00:56:03,151 --> 00:56:04,152
Yeah, it's done.

1404
00:56:04,235 --> 00:56:04,694
It's over

1405
00:56:04,903 --> 00:56:07,238
Hide us from, hide us from the lamb.

1406
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,241
The wrath of the lamb.

1407
00:56:10,367 --> 00:56:11,326
The wrath of the lamb.

1408
00:56:11,367 --> 00:56:13,203
Run, the lamb's angry, everybody.

1409
00:56:13,286 --> 00:56:13,870
Yeah.

1410
00:56:13,870 --> 00:56:16,122
Well, we're about to see another lamb next time we get together.

1411
00:56:16,247 --> 00:56:17,499
Oh, yes.

1412
00:56:17,540 --> 00:56:20,919
And it's another, you know, it's a copycat thing.

1413
00:56:21,044 --> 00:56:22,420
It is a copycat.

1414
00:56:22,462 --> 00:56:25,548
He's copycatting with a revived Roman Empire with a resurrection

1415
00:56:25,590 --> 00:56:28,676
 of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, the mark of the beast is

1416
00:56:28,718 --> 00:56:31,763
 kind of a markable Holy Spirit

1417
00:56:31,763 --> 00:56:32,889
 copy.

1418
00:56:32,972 --> 00:56:33,973
representation.

1419
00:56:34,057 --> 00:56:35,308
That's all copycats.

1420
00:56:35,350 --> 00:56:35,642
Yeah.

1421
00:56:35,683 --> 00:56:36,518
Yeah.

1422
00:56:36,559 --> 00:56:40,730
You know, and that, and that's the,

1423
00:56:40,772 --> 00:56:43,817
 the thing that's so that, to me is just so

1424
00:56:43,817 --> 00:56:46,903
 sad about all this is the fact that there is going to be a human being

1425
00:56:46,945 --> 00:56:50,407
 who is so utterly

1426
00:56:50,407 --> 00:56:53,576
 depraved and lost and

1427
00:56:53,618 --> 00:56:54,911
 evil and dark.

1428
00:56:55,036 --> 00:56:58,081
that they think this is the way to go.

1429
00:56:58,164 --> 00:57:01,251
And and the world,

1430
00:57:01,292 --> 00:57:05,130
 the world is going to suffer as

1431
00:57:05,130 --> 00:57:07,882
 a direct result of their actions.

1432
00:57:08,258 --> 00:57:11,886
That is mind boggling to me.

1433
00:57:11,970 --> 00:57:14,931
And but when you stop and

1434
00:57:14,973 --> 00:57:18,601
 think about it, the world suffers for the day today because

1435
00:57:18,643 --> 00:57:20,103
 of the choice of 2 people.

1436
00:57:20,186 --> 00:57:20,812
Sure.

1437
00:57:20,895 --> 00:57:22,605
Yeah, me too, though.

1438
00:57:23,231 --> 00:57:25,483
I mean, I mean, our choices too.

1439
00:57:25,567 --> 00:57:28,736
Yeah, absolutely not, not wiping away, but all

1440
00:57:28,778 --> 00:57:31,281
 of it started with the choice of people.

1441
00:57:31,364 --> 00:57:31,823
Yeah.

1442
00:57:31,823 --> 00:57:35,118
And it's all gonna end in pain

1443
00:57:35,118 --> 00:57:38,037
 and suffering because of the choice of 2 humans.

1444
00:57:38,121 --> 00:57:41,166
Antichrist and the false prophet that we're about to read about.

1445
00:57:41,249 --> 00:57:42,709
This is the culmination, man.

1446
00:57:42,792 --> 00:57:43,126
This is it.

1447
00:57:43,209 --> 00:57:46,296
You know, everybody's, wow, if I was God, I'd put an end to evil.

1448
00:57:46,421 --> 00:57:49,465
Well, Daniel chapter 9 said 70 weeks have been decreed

1449
00:57:49,465 --> 00:57:52,802
 for your people and your holy city to finish the transgression,

1450
00:57:52,844 --> 00:57:56,181
 to make an end of sin, to make atonement

1451
00:57:56,181 --> 00:57:59,225
 for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness,

1452
00:57:59,267 --> 00:58:03,313
 to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy place.

1453
00:58:03,396 --> 00:58:06,065
And we got one week of that 70 weeks left.

1454
00:58:06,149 --> 00:58:06,608
That's right.

1455
00:58:06,608 --> 00:58:07,442
And that's revelation.

1456
00:58:07,525 --> 00:58:08,526
Yes.

1457
00:58:08,568 --> 00:58:12,489
And, you know, and the thing is, God

1458
00:58:12,489 --> 00:58:13,531
 prepared away.

1459
00:58:13,698 --> 00:58:16,242
To make an end to evil.

1460
00:58:16,367 --> 00:58:18,703
All right?

1461
00:58:18,745 --> 00:58:19,746
We know how it ends.

1462
00:58:19,829 --> 00:58:22,874
He made a way to make an end to it, and he also made a way to

1463
00:58:22,874 --> 00:58:25,960
 get away from it, to escape it, to

1464
00:58:26,002 --> 00:58:28,963
 walk away from evil, to turn away because, and this is something

1465
00:58:29,005 --> 00:58:32,300
 I saw somebody posted on Facebook about this earlier this week, and

1466
00:58:32,300 --> 00:58:35,345
 they were saying, no, you know, Jesus never did this, and he never said that, and he

1467
00:58:35,386 --> 00:58:38,139
 never, and somebody, you know, oh, he just loved everybody, blah, blah, blah.

1468
00:58:38,181 --> 00:58:41,893
And somebody said, and somebody just popped in there and went, what about go and sin no more?

1469
00:58:41,976 --> 00:58:42,977
Yeah.

1470
00:58:42,977 --> 00:58:46,856
And, you know, and this person kind of got awful philosophical about what he meant.

1471
00:58:46,940 --> 00:58:48,858
Oh, he's saying you shouldn't feel guilty about it.

1472
00:58:48,942 --> 00:58:49,400
You're sin it.

1473
00:58:49,484 --> 00:58:52,445
I'm like, do you ever occur to any of you that he actually means

1474
00:58:52,487 --> 00:58:53,780
 go and stop sinning?

1475
00:58:53,863 --> 00:58:57,909
Meaning that it is entirely capable of you to walk away from sin?

1476
00:58:58,034 --> 00:58:59,953
through the Holy Spirit.

1477
00:59:00,078 --> 00:59:01,496
through the Holy Spirit.

1478
00:59:01,579 --> 00:59:04,874
But the point is, it's entirely possible to

1479
00:59:04,874 --> 00:59:06,793
 do that, or he wouldn't have commanded it.

1480
00:59:06,876 --> 00:59:09,212
And I went out.

1481
00:59:09,254 --> 00:59:09,879
That hurts.

1482
00:59:10,004 --> 00:59:13,591
My toes are kind of starting to get flattened out.

1483
00:59:13,633 --> 00:59:16,261
That's the thing.

1484
00:59:16,344 --> 00:59:17,762
He's provided a way out

1485
00:59:17,971 --> 00:59:19,764
He provided us a way out of all this.

1486
00:59:19,847 --> 00:59:23,434
He provided us a way to miss all of this is coming in revelation.

1487
00:59:23,476 --> 00:59:26,396
Just be a spectator because we're not in, here's the thing.

1488
00:59:26,479 --> 00:59:29,857
none of those other saints, none of the people in heaven are involved in any of this.

1489
00:59:29,983 --> 00:59:30,608
They're just watching.

1490
00:59:30,692 --> 00:59:33,361
They don't have to, they don't have to do anything.

1491
00:59:33,444 --> 00:59:35,238
They just watch and follow.

1492
00:59:35,321 --> 00:59:38,408
And he's given us a way to do that so

1493
00:59:38,408 --> 00:59:42,161
 that in the end, he can put an end to pain and suffering and sin.

1494
00:59:42,203 --> 00:59:45,123
And so that we can set back and go, that is justified.

1495
00:59:45,206 --> 00:59:48,376
That is truly just because unlike

1496
00:59:48,376 --> 00:59:49,419
 the angels.

1497
00:59:49,544 --> 00:59:53,423
Unlike the other things that God has created, we don't know what always created.

1498
00:59:53,506 --> 00:59:54,757
We know the angels and we know us.

1499
00:59:54,882 --> 00:59:58,344
That's all I'm going to say on that is we know those 2 things exist.

1500
00:59:58,428 --> 01:00:00,263
If anything else does, I don't know, don't care.

1501
01:00:00,346 --> 01:00:01,597
It's not for me to know or care about.

1502
01:00:01,639 --> 01:00:04,976
The fact is, we know the price of sin.

1503
01:00:05,059 --> 01:00:06,102
We know how much it hurts.

1504
01:00:06,227 --> 01:00:07,937
We know how much it damages us.

1505
01:00:08,021 --> 01:00:10,940
We know how much pain and suffering is a result of it.

1506
01:00:11,024 --> 01:00:14,110
And in the end, we can stand there and look and say, you are a

1507
01:00:14,110 --> 01:00:17,155
 truly just holy, righteous,

1508
01:00:17,196 --> 01:00:20,283
 and awesome and merciful and powerful God.

1509
01:00:20,366 --> 01:00:23,036
And he's provided that for us.

1510
01:00:23,119 --> 01:00:26,456
And So

1511
01:00:26,497 --> 01:00:27,874
 many people are turning away from it.

1512
01:00:27,915 --> 01:00:28,750
Don't don't turn away.

1513
01:00:28,833 --> 01:00:29,959
It's here.

1514
01:00:30,043 --> 01:00:30,460
It's here.

1515
01:00:30,501 --> 01:00:32,503
He is just and righteous.

1516
01:00:32,587 --> 01:00:33,630
He is holy.

1517
01:00:33,755 --> 01:00:36,924
He is merciful because you don't have to experience any

1518
01:00:36,924 --> 01:00:40,011
 of this because you don't have to experience hell because you don't

1519
01:00:40,053 --> 01:00:42,388
 have to experience the lake of fire because you don't have to.

1520
01:00:42,513 --> 01:00:43,806
You can miss all of that.

1521
01:00:43,890 --> 01:00:45,266
He's giving us a way of escape.

1522
01:00:45,308 --> 01:00:49,187
Jesus told us that we don't come to the light because their deeds are evil.

1523
01:00:49,270 --> 01:00:49,771
That's right.

1524
01:00:49,896 --> 01:00:50,313
Exactly.

1525
01:00:50,355 --> 01:00:51,105
Yeah.

1526
01:00:51,189 --> 01:00:51,773
Exactly.

1527
01:00:51,856 --> 01:00:53,650
Don't be exposed.

1528
01:00:53,733 --> 01:00:54,317
Yeah.

1529
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:55,777
Pray, pray this week.

1530
01:00:55,818 --> 01:00:57,653
Pray, there are so many people out there.

1531
01:00:57,737 --> 01:01:00,823
And like I say, I was I was stunned realizing

1532
01:01:00,865 --> 01:01:04,077
 just how how dark some of people today can get when

1533
01:01:04,118 --> 01:01:07,330
 I was looking at some of that, some of these interviews that I've seen recently.

1534
01:01:07,413 --> 01:01:09,415
I'm like, man, these people are just nuts.

1535
01:01:09,499 --> 01:01:10,625
Pray.

1536
01:01:10,708 --> 01:01:13,753
That's all we can do, Christians, is pray that they come

1537
01:01:13,753 --> 01:01:16,714
 to the light and tell them, tell people the

1538
01:01:16,756 --> 01:01:17,757
 good news.

1539
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:20,093
We are free from sin.

1540
01:01:20,176 --> 01:01:21,719
You don't have to be shackled by it.

1541
01:01:21,803 --> 01:01:22,845
You't have to be chained by it.

1542
01:01:22,929 --> 01:01:25,473
You don't have to be enslaved to it any longer.

1543
01:01:25,598 --> 01:01:26,224
Just just...

1544
01:01:26,307 --> 01:01:29,268
And if there's one thing that one prayer that you can make that is absolutely

1545
01:01:29,310 --> 01:01:32,605
 completely in God's will is a prey for salvation to somebody else.

1546
01:01:32,647 --> 01:01:33,398
Absolutely.

1547
01:01:33,439 --> 01:01:33,773
Absolutely.

1548
01:01:33,856 --> 01:01:34,732
That's exactly what he wants.

1549
01:01:34,816 --> 01:01:36,192
Yes, absolutely.

1550
01:01:36,275 --> 01:01:38,277
Across the board, across the board.

1551
01:01:38,361 --> 01:01:39,821
And pray for our leaders.

1552
01:01:39,946 --> 01:01:42,907
Pray for salvation, pray for truth, pray for healing, pray

1553
01:01:42,907 --> 01:01:45,952
 for opening of their eyes, and pray for the guidance

1554
01:01:45,993 --> 01:01:48,538
 of God to flow out to them.

1555
01:01:48,621 --> 01:01:51,582
That's the one thing we as Christians can do that

1556
01:01:51,624 --> 01:01:52,625
 is correct.

1557
01:01:52,708 --> 01:01:54,919
And like you say, just praying for the salvation of others.

1558
01:01:55,002 --> 01:01:56,379
Even if you don't like them.

1559
01:01:56,421 --> 01:01:58,506
Especially if you don't like them.

1560
01:01:58,589 --> 01:02:02,343
That's that's the time to pray for it, you know?

1561
01:02:02,427 --> 01:02:04,804
Pray that they become your brother or sister.

1562
01:02:04,887 --> 01:02:06,013
Amen.

1563
01:02:06,097 --> 01:02:06,973
Amen.

1564
01:02:06,973 --> 01:02:11,519
And next week, we'll pick back up with Revelation 1311,

1565
01:02:11,561 --> 01:02:14,772
 and Brother Dennis ain't going to be here next week because he's going to go falling

1566
01:02:14,772 --> 01:02:16,149
 off of a ski slope somewhere.

1567
01:02:16,232 --> 01:02:17,525
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1568
01:02:17,608 --> 01:02:19,861
You're going to look good in that ski safe.

1569
01:02:19,944 --> 01:02:20,570
I know, man.

1570
01:02:20,653 --> 01:02:22,655
I'm going to look good in my head down in the sand.

1571
01:02:22,905 --> 01:02:25,032
stretcher carrying me down the hill.

1572
01:02:25,116 --> 01:02:28,327
All I got to say is if you manage to start rolling and get rolled

1573
01:02:28,327 --> 01:02:30,997
 up in a snowball like a cartoon, please have somebody send us a picture.

1574
01:02:31,122 --> 01:02:32,498
Oh, there we are.

1575
01:02:32,498 --> 01:02:36,002
I hope you have some awesome fun.

1576
01:02:36,085 --> 01:02:39,464
Yeah, yeah, I'll be with my son, his wife, and Diane, of course.

1577
01:02:39,547 --> 01:02:42,633
Oh, I think we'll have a good time, even if I break my leg.

1578
01:02:42,759 --> 01:02:44,010
Yeah.

1579
01:02:44,010 --> 01:02:46,262
Well, we're going to be praying that you won't break anything.

1580
01:02:46,345 --> 01:02:47,764
I don't want to break my neck, you know?

1581
01:02:47,847 --> 01:02:50,391
Leg can heal, neck.

1582
01:02:50,475 --> 01:02:50,975
Yeah.

1583
01:02:51,017 --> 01:02:52,810
That's a little bit more injury there.

1584
01:02:52,894 --> 01:02:56,063
Well, it's one of the, you know, skiing is one of those things you

1585
01:02:56,063 --> 01:02:59,400
 don't want to break anything, but if you happen to sprain something or pull something.

1586
01:02:59,484 --> 01:03:00,526
That's all right.

1587
01:03:00,610 --> 01:03:01,569
That how you're having fun, right?

1588
01:03:01,652 --> 01:03:02,904
Yeah.

1589
01:03:02,904 --> 01:03:05,865
Well, we're going to be praying for you next week

1590
01:03:05,907 --> 01:03:08,659
 and I know we're going to miss you.

1591
01:03:08,743 --> 01:03:10,328
Yeah, absolutely.

1592
01:03:10,411 --> 01:03:11,037
absolutely.

1593
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:14,415
But, um, Brother Brian, if you would, pray for us to dismiss.

1594
01:03:14,499 --> 01:03:17,543
And yeah, next week, Revelation 1311 is

1595
01:03:17,543 --> 01:03:20,713
 where we'll pick back up and we will be starting in on the

1596
01:03:20,713 --> 01:03:24,550
 false prophet is, so if you want to read ahead,

1597
01:03:24,550 --> 01:03:27,595
 1311 and into 14 there, getting to find out

1598
01:03:27,637 --> 01:03:29,096
 about this false prophet.

1599
01:03:29,180 --> 01:03:32,475
It's a hard read, but it is interesting.

1600
01:03:32,558 --> 01:03:34,560
Yes, absolutely.

1601
01:03:34,644 --> 01:03:37,188
Father, we love you.

1602
01:03:37,271 --> 01:03:38,439
We thank you for this day.

1603
01:03:38,564 --> 01:03:40,900
We thank you for loving us when we were unlovable.

1604
01:03:40,942 --> 01:03:44,403
God, we thank you that, Lord, we do have a way out.

1605
01:03:44,529 --> 01:03:45,780
We do have a way of escape.

1606
01:03:45,863 --> 01:03:48,908
We do have salvation in

1607
01:03:48,908 --> 01:03:50,368
 the name of Jesus.

1608
01:03:50,493 --> 01:03:53,663
So, Lord, I just pray God that your salvation would go

1609
01:03:53,663 --> 01:03:56,707
 out to all the nations and all the people, and that they would hear

1610
01:03:56,707 --> 01:03:59,752
 the name of Jesus, and they would proclaim it and trust

1611
01:03:59,794 --> 01:04:03,005
 in it, believe in it, God, and that you died on Calvary's

1612
01:04:03,047 --> 01:04:06,384
 Cross, and that you rose again in 3 days, and

1613
01:04:06,384 --> 01:04:07,552
 God, that you sit.

1614
01:04:07,635 --> 01:04:10,930
Jesus, you sit at the right hand of the Father today,

1615
01:04:10,930 --> 01:04:12,515
 making intercession for us.

1616
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:13,057
Lord.

1617
01:04:13,099 --> 01:04:16,143
I pray that there's someone listening today that does not know

1618
01:04:16,185 --> 01:04:19,272
 you in the free partner sin, that they would ask

1619
01:04:19,272 --> 01:04:22,441
 you to forgive them of their sins right now and to become

1620
01:04:22,483 --> 01:04:26,320
 their Lord and Savior, and God just start living for you.

1621
01:04:26,362 --> 01:04:29,824
Lord, we thank you for this opportunity to spread your word.

1622
01:04:29,907 --> 01:04:33,744
And God, I pray that you would bless each person that hears it in Jesus' name.

1623
01:04:33,828 --> 01:04:34,161
Amen.

1624
01:04:34,245 --> 01:04:34,745
Amen.
