1
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,179
We did our,

2
00:00:04,719 --> 00:00:06,660
100 mile bike ride for missions.

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:08,099
It was very exciting.

4
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:09,779
It wasn't exciting.

5
00:00:13,214 --> 00:00:14,195
One guy rode

6
00:00:14,575 --> 00:00:17,135
by me one time and and, and at

7
00:00:17,135 --> 00:00:18,894
the I was kind of keeping I was

8
00:00:18,894 --> 00:00:20,414
in the rear, kind of keeping everybody, because

9
00:00:20,414 --> 00:00:21,475
people would have flats.

10
00:00:21,775 --> 00:00:24,335
As I'm saying that, there's 20 bicycles riding

11
00:00:24,335 --> 00:00:25,154
by outside.

12
00:00:26,050 --> 00:00:27,670
That is odd. So,

13
00:00:29,089 --> 00:00:30,609
kind of keeping up the rear and kind

14
00:00:30,609 --> 00:00:32,210
of, you know, if somebody has a flat

15
00:00:32,210 --> 00:00:33,969
and that happened, if somebody broke their chain,

16
00:00:33,969 --> 00:00:34,869
which was me.

17
00:00:36,850 --> 00:00:37,350
So

18
00:00:37,890 --> 00:00:39,809
this guy this one this guy was kind

19
00:00:39,809 --> 00:00:41,515
of dropping back. And as he was come

20
00:00:41,515 --> 00:00:43,274
back, I'm just riding beside him encouraging him.

21
00:00:43,274 --> 00:00:44,554
But when he first dropped back out, I

22
00:00:44,554 --> 00:00:46,795
could hear him saying, just keep pedaling. Just

23
00:00:46,795 --> 00:00:47,534
keep pedaling.

24
00:00:49,754 --> 00:00:52,074
I was like, that's a sad place to

25
00:00:52,074 --> 00:00:52,574
be.

26
00:00:53,674 --> 00:00:55,350
Because that was like mile 4.

27
00:00:56,629 --> 00:00:57,530
Yeah, it wasn't.

28
00:00:57,909 --> 00:00:59,189
One of the things I wanted to mention

29
00:00:59,189 --> 00:00:59,989
is that that,

30
00:01:00,629 --> 00:01:01,129
Liz,

31
00:01:03,109 --> 00:01:04,549
Josh and Liz and I were the 3

32
00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:06,069
from our church that were doing this, and

33
00:01:06,069 --> 00:01:07,689
Liz finished the entire

34
00:01:07,995 --> 00:01:08,814
100 miles.

35
00:01:13,915 --> 00:01:16,575
She's the first girl that has done this

36
00:01:16,635 --> 00:01:18,814
for, in all of our district rights.

37
00:01:19,275 --> 00:01:20,954
I think last year, she did like 80

38
00:01:20,954 --> 00:01:22,174
or something like that.

39
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:22,719
And,

40
00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:24,959
and some of the rest did 60 something.

41
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,439
100 ks is what they did instead of

42
00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:28,799
a 100 miles. And, but she finished and

43
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:31,280
and she wasn't like coming in drag and

44
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,959
praying that Lord would take her kind of

45
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,959
thing. And she was coming in she was

46
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,819
coming in okay. And so it was

47
00:01:37,744 --> 00:01:38,644
it was good.

48
00:01:40,144 --> 00:01:41,844
Also I want to continue to remind

49
00:01:42,465 --> 00:01:44,545
you, please pray for Israel. Guys, all the

50
00:01:44,545 --> 00:01:46,644
stuff that is happening just this week,

51
00:01:48,545 --> 00:01:50,484
the president of Turkey, Erdogan,

52
00:01:51,370 --> 00:01:52,750
or whatever you say his name,

53
00:01:53,370 --> 00:01:53,870
he

54
00:01:54,890 --> 00:01:56,989
he is building a coalition,

55
00:01:57,849 --> 00:01:59,689
trying to build a coalition with all the

56
00:01:59,689 --> 00:02:00,510
Arab States

57
00:02:01,209 --> 00:02:01,709
that,

58
00:02:02,170 --> 00:02:03,310
all the Arab countries

59
00:02:03,770 --> 00:02:05,709
to combine together

60
00:02:06,090 --> 00:02:06,590
against

61
00:02:07,474 --> 00:02:08,115
Israel. This is,

62
00:02:09,474 --> 00:02:11,074
this is like a whole another level, right?

63
00:02:11,794 --> 00:02:12,615
And and and

64
00:02:13,235 --> 00:02:15,314
here's part of the deal with this. There

65
00:02:15,314 --> 00:02:16,854
has you have to process that

66
00:02:19,169 --> 00:02:21,569
everything that is going on there, including this

67
00:02:21,569 --> 00:02:23,989
this week that that Turkey is doing now,

68
00:02:24,289 --> 00:02:26,449
all of this is looking a whole lot

69
00:02:26,449 --> 00:02:28,709
more like Ezekiel 38 every day.

70
00:02:29,169 --> 00:02:31,329
Okay? So you you gotta keep your eyes

71
00:02:31,329 --> 00:02:33,014
on that kind of stuff. When that goes

72
00:02:33,014 --> 00:02:34,455
down, and I'm gonna talk about that a

73
00:02:34,455 --> 00:02:36,235
little bit here, but when that goes down,

74
00:02:37,175 --> 00:02:38,074
guys, everything

75
00:02:38,615 --> 00:02:40,375
now that that to me, this is the

76
00:02:40,375 --> 00:02:42,455
way I see it. It's like the plug

77
00:02:42,455 --> 00:02:44,474
is pulled and everything is draining.

78
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,180
We're in the end times, like like tribulation

79
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,240
time frame kind of stuff. And I'll explain

80
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,240
that because I'm gonna be speaking about that

81
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,719
this morning. But but, but to really be

82
00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:57,439
praying, praying for Israel, guys, our responsibility is

83
00:02:57,439 --> 00:02:58,900
to pray for them. Now,

84
00:03:00,215 --> 00:03:01,552
get ahead of myself. So, you know, we've

85
00:03:01,552 --> 00:03:03,223
been we've been trying to build we're we're

86
00:03:03,223 --> 00:03:04,615
not going to be able to build this

87
00:03:04,615 --> 00:03:06,294
week. We just can't I mean, this this

88
00:03:06,294 --> 00:03:08,135
month this what is what year? We're not

89
00:03:08,135 --> 00:03:09,354
going to be able to build this year.

90
00:03:13,810 --> 00:03:15,569
We've been trying to get the financing. It

91
00:03:15,569 --> 00:03:17,889
just didn't work out again. Although, I did

92
00:03:17,889 --> 00:03:20,449
get an interesting call. Just throw this out

93
00:03:20,449 --> 00:03:22,629
here as a little teaser that probably

94
00:03:22,930 --> 00:03:24,069
won't happen. But

95
00:03:24,370 --> 00:03:26,955
I got a call from a group that

96
00:03:27,754 --> 00:03:30,415
is interested in financing our building.

97
00:03:31,675 --> 00:03:32,895
And it's interestingly,

98
00:03:33,194 --> 00:03:33,854
it is

99
00:03:35,675 --> 00:03:36,974
a group, a company

100
00:03:37,995 --> 00:03:39,694
that is being run by

101
00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:42,310
a guy I went to college with and

102
00:03:42,310 --> 00:03:44,250
have stayed very close friends with

103
00:03:44,629 --> 00:03:45,770
over the last 35

104
00:03:47,349 --> 00:03:47,849
years.

105
00:03:48,550 --> 00:03:50,710
And, it was just he just, out of

106
00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:52,230
the blue, said, hey, do you would you

107
00:03:52,230 --> 00:03:53,849
like us to finance your building?

108
00:03:55,155 --> 00:03:56,915
I was like, is this a joke? Because

109
00:03:56,915 --> 00:03:58,435
I've known you for a long time and,

110
00:03:58,435 --> 00:04:00,115
you know, I so I don't know. That

111
00:04:00,115 --> 00:04:01,955
may not play out. I'm not, you know,

112
00:04:01,955 --> 00:04:04,355
if it's God, it's God. If it's not,

113
00:04:04,355 --> 00:04:05,895
you know, that's fine too.

114
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,040
Rezone the property out here so that we

115
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:08,740
can sell it,

116
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:10,298
so that we can build. Right? We still

117
00:04:10,298 --> 00:04:11,040
need about 2,000,000, to do this and that

118
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:11,700
would potentially,

119
00:04:19,644 --> 00:04:21,964
give us that extra 2,000,000. Alright. Which is

120
00:04:21,964 --> 00:04:23,485
which is kind of what we're trying to

121
00:04:23,485 --> 00:04:25,504
borrow, but more and stuff like that. So,

122
00:04:27,404 --> 00:04:29,345
so with that, when you do the rezoning,

123
00:04:29,564 --> 00:04:31,805
they because there was a lot of emails

124
00:04:31,805 --> 00:04:33,245
and stuff sent to the city, the city

125
00:04:33,245 --> 00:04:35,629
set up a meeting here Thursday night

126
00:04:36,250 --> 00:04:36,750
for,

127
00:04:37,129 --> 00:04:38,910
us to hear from the community.

128
00:04:40,090 --> 00:04:42,430
Okay? I didn't tell you guys

129
00:04:42,810 --> 00:04:45,069
because I didn't necessarily want you here.

130
00:04:51,444 --> 00:04:53,205
Couple people that riled up a lot of

131
00:04:53,205 --> 00:04:54,884
the community, and they do not want us

132
00:04:54,884 --> 00:04:57,145
to do anything with the property out here.

133
00:04:57,524 --> 00:04:59,410
And I'm not making this up. This is

134
00:04:59,410 --> 00:05:01,170
the things they said. We they sent these

135
00:05:01,170 --> 00:05:03,170
to us in emails and then people said

136
00:05:03,170 --> 00:05:04,230
this in the meeting

137
00:05:04,930 --> 00:05:07,250
that they don't want us to put in

138
00:05:07,250 --> 00:05:08,310
a porn shop,

139
00:05:09,490 --> 00:05:09,990
a

140
00:05:10,370 --> 00:05:11,350
liquor store,

141
00:05:11,810 --> 00:05:12,550
a marijuana

142
00:05:12,930 --> 00:05:13,430
dispensary.

143
00:05:14,355 --> 00:05:15,574
So I finally said,

144
00:05:16,915 --> 00:05:18,595
do you have a clue who we are

145
00:05:18,595 --> 00:05:19,574
as a church?

146
00:05:20,595 --> 00:05:21,814
How does that benefit

147
00:05:22,355 --> 00:05:23,254
our children?

148
00:05:23,875 --> 00:05:25,314
You know, that kind of thing. And it

149
00:05:25,314 --> 00:05:27,154
and it was, it was a little spicy.

150
00:05:27,154 --> 00:05:28,995
They they came after us pretty good, came

151
00:05:28,995 --> 00:05:30,680
after me quite a bit.

152
00:05:31,779 --> 00:05:34,020
But for the most part, like, 98%, I

153
00:05:34,020 --> 00:05:34,840
kept my cool.

154
00:05:36,580 --> 00:05:38,900
I did snippet 1 person one time. Just

155
00:05:38,980 --> 00:05:41,240
you're just like, whatever. You know? But,

156
00:05:41,860 --> 00:05:43,540
so with that, we're gonna kinda go back

157
00:05:43,540 --> 00:05:45,254
to the drawing board and see if there's

158
00:05:45,254 --> 00:05:46,774
a way that we could still do what

159
00:05:46,774 --> 00:05:47,754
we wanna do and

160
00:05:48,455 --> 00:05:50,375
and the the zoning is what was bothering

161
00:05:50,375 --> 00:05:51,654
them. It's too wide of a zoning. You

162
00:05:51,654 --> 00:05:53,274
can put anything in there. We explained,

163
00:05:54,214 --> 00:05:55,975
we sell the property. We can put any

164
00:05:55,975 --> 00:05:57,600
covenant we want on that property.

165
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,699
They can only build

166
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,939
what we allow them to build,

167
00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:03,620
or we won't sell it.

168
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,720
And nobody was buying that. Nobody was, no.

169
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,160
That's not how it works. I'm like, but

170
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,680
it does work that way. And so that's

171
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,185
the law. But either way, we're gonna try

172
00:06:12,185 --> 00:06:14,584
to maybe change the zoning, make it something

173
00:06:14,584 --> 00:06:16,665
that'll the community would be more comfortable with.

174
00:06:16,665 --> 00:06:17,725
We're not really sure,

175
00:06:18,264 --> 00:06:19,785
but, man, there was just a lot of

176
00:06:19,785 --> 00:06:20,605
angry people,

177
00:06:21,305 --> 00:06:23,720
really going after us. Now since then, interestingly,

178
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,800
I've gotten a lot of messages, emails, got

179
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,800
a few last night I was answering. People

180
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,080
were saying, I was in the meeting, and

181
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,759
I I feel bad about how they treated

182
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:31,259
you.

183
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,720
And, this is a good church, and our

184
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,879
kids have gone to VBS and those kind

185
00:06:35,879 --> 00:06:37,925
of things. And so so it wasn't all

186
00:06:37,925 --> 00:06:39,444
bad, but it was all bad in the

187
00:06:39,444 --> 00:06:40,004
meeting. So

188
00:06:41,525 --> 00:06:43,444
but we'll just keep you posted on that.

189
00:06:43,444 --> 00:06:45,125
If if we do change the zoning, it

190
00:06:45,125 --> 00:06:46,725
won't be it won't be a long process.

191
00:06:46,725 --> 00:06:48,324
We're already right there. We could just change

192
00:06:48,324 --> 00:06:49,145
the the lettering

193
00:06:49,525 --> 00:06:52,699
and, and fix it. So, alright. I'm gonna

194
00:06:52,699 --> 00:06:53,279
be speaking

195
00:06:54,220 --> 00:06:55,199
this morning about

196
00:06:56,060 --> 00:06:56,800
the the tribulation

197
00:06:57,580 --> 00:06:58,480
and the rapture.

198
00:07:03,384 --> 00:07:05,324
I don't usually get that response, but

199
00:07:07,144 --> 00:07:09,464
but, and and here's the thing. There's a

200
00:07:09,464 --> 00:07:11,224
few things I I wanna do. Part of

201
00:07:11,224 --> 00:07:12,344
the reason I do it, I do it

202
00:07:12,344 --> 00:07:14,264
every time this year, this time of year.

203
00:07:14,264 --> 00:07:15,704
I do it every year this time of

204
00:07:15,704 --> 00:07:16,444
year because

205
00:07:17,009 --> 00:07:18,849
of, the fall feasts, and I'm gonna explain

206
00:07:18,849 --> 00:07:19,509
all that.

207
00:07:19,889 --> 00:07:21,810
But I I really do believe in a

208
00:07:21,810 --> 00:07:24,310
pre tribulation rapture, and I'm gonna explain why.

209
00:07:24,930 --> 00:07:27,089
But I know there's different people throughout our

210
00:07:27,089 --> 00:07:29,589
church, I would say, a good handful,

211
00:07:30,164 --> 00:07:31,064
that don't believe,

212
00:07:31,685 --> 00:07:34,024
in a pre tribulation. They believe mid

213
00:07:34,564 --> 00:07:35,784
or post tribulation.

214
00:07:36,404 --> 00:07:38,485
And so I am gonna try to convince

215
00:07:38,485 --> 00:07:41,125
you you're wrong and that I'm right this

216
00:07:41,125 --> 00:07:42,104
morning. But

217
00:07:42,964 --> 00:07:44,264
with that being said,

218
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:46,120
always say it so that we understand. Because

219
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,960
we don't we this is not a 100%.

220
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,879
You can't just say we know for sure

221
00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:52,040
exactly this way it goes because it hasn't

222
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:52,540
happened.

223
00:07:56,854 --> 00:07:58,254
Enough ambiguity within scripture for a couple of

224
00:07:58,254 --> 00:08:00,084
reasons that I'll explain, which makes it a

225
00:08:00,084 --> 00:08:00,636
little challenging to pinpoint exactly. So with that,

226
00:08:00,636 --> 00:08:01,894
my my stance is always I believe a

227
00:08:01,894 --> 00:08:02,394
100%

228
00:08:10,849 --> 00:08:13,750
in a pre tribulation rapture until the tribulation

229
00:08:14,050 --> 00:08:14,550
starts.

230
00:08:15,009 --> 00:08:16,069
And then I a 100%

231
00:08:16,370 --> 00:08:18,629
believe in a mid tribulation rapture

232
00:08:20,129 --> 00:08:22,449
until day 1 after the mid, and then

233
00:08:22,449 --> 00:08:23,110
I am

234
00:08:23,504 --> 00:08:25,585
completely and at that point, we're all on

235
00:08:25,585 --> 00:08:27,444
board with a post tribulation

236
00:08:28,064 --> 00:08:29,685
rapture. Right? Okay.

237
00:08:30,545 --> 00:08:32,225
Now with that being said, I do believe

238
00:08:32,225 --> 00:08:34,304
strongly in in pre tribulation rapture, and I

239
00:08:34,304 --> 00:08:35,940
think there's a lot of reasons. So usually,

240
00:08:35,940 --> 00:08:37,120
I go over the timelines.

241
00:08:37,580 --> 00:08:39,519
What I mean by the timelines is,

242
00:08:40,460 --> 00:08:42,379
the Lord said that once Israel becomes a

243
00:08:42,379 --> 00:08:44,460
nation again, that that generation will not pass

244
00:08:44,460 --> 00:08:45,840
away until he comes back.

245
00:08:46,299 --> 00:08:46,620
And,

246
00:08:47,420 --> 00:08:49,600
and Psalms says that,

247
00:08:50,894 --> 00:08:53,375
that that a generation, are we a full

248
00:08:53,375 --> 00:08:56,174
generation of of human being is 70 to

249
00:08:56,174 --> 00:08:58,274
80 years. Okay. 1948,

250
00:08:58,815 --> 00:09:00,274
we are in year 76

251
00:09:01,455 --> 00:09:01,955
of

252
00:09:02,334 --> 00:09:03,774
that time frame. And so

253
00:09:04,370 --> 00:09:06,209
and I do believe that that 70, 80

254
00:09:06,209 --> 00:09:08,129
years is given to us by God as

255
00:09:08,129 --> 00:09:09,809
one of the visuals that we're supposed to

256
00:09:09,809 --> 00:09:10,309
understand

257
00:09:10,690 --> 00:09:13,169
and recognize that, Jesus is going to come

258
00:09:13,169 --> 00:09:15,329
back during that 7 to 80 years. I

259
00:09:15,329 --> 00:09:17,485
believe that pretty strongly. I don't, you know,

260
00:09:17,485 --> 00:09:19,884
at at year 81, I'll relook at my

261
00:09:19,884 --> 00:09:20,384
numbers.

262
00:09:20,845 --> 00:09:22,605
But I do believe that. I do think

263
00:09:22,605 --> 00:09:24,684
that that's true. Now usually, I focus on

264
00:09:24,684 --> 00:09:26,045
some of that. I'm gonna focus on a

265
00:09:26,045 --> 00:09:27,425
little bit different things,

266
00:09:28,285 --> 00:09:29,725
this time looking at

267
00:09:30,524 --> 00:09:32,625
I always always look at the feasts

268
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:34,700
because that's the key to the whole thing.

269
00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:35,980
The feasts are the key. So I'm gonna

270
00:09:35,980 --> 00:09:38,799
go to Colossians chapter 2 verse 16.

271
00:09:39,419 --> 00:09:41,980
Says, don't let anyone condemn you for what

272
00:09:41,980 --> 00:09:44,159
you eat or drink or for not celebrating

273
00:09:44,220 --> 00:09:47,740
certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or

274
00:09:47,740 --> 00:09:48,240
Sabbaths.

275
00:09:49,455 --> 00:09:50,914
This scripture. 1 is that,

276
00:09:51,384 --> 00:09:51,884
when

277
00:10:01,250 --> 00:10:02,389
when this was said,

278
00:10:02,690 --> 00:10:04,370
most of the church at that time was

279
00:10:04,370 --> 00:10:07,169
Jewish. Like, overwhelmingly, most was Jewish. There were

280
00:10:07,169 --> 00:10:09,809
some Gentiles starting to come in because Luke

281
00:10:09,809 --> 00:10:11,169
had written the book of Acts, and the

282
00:10:11,169 --> 00:10:13,329
book of Acts is very much like a

283
00:10:13,329 --> 00:10:15,730
a white paper on why Gentiles could be

284
00:10:15,730 --> 00:10:17,495
a part of this thing. But but this

285
00:10:17,654 --> 00:10:19,735
but it was mostly Jewish. And so what

286
00:10:19,735 --> 00:10:21,035
he was trying to say

287
00:10:21,495 --> 00:10:23,174
here is they were picking on all the

288
00:10:23,174 --> 00:10:25,894
new kids coming in, and, and they they,

289
00:10:25,894 --> 00:10:27,174
you know, they weren't going by all the

290
00:10:27,174 --> 00:10:29,434
feasts or whatever. And Paul was explaining,

291
00:10:29,929 --> 00:10:31,769
as did Peter and a lot of other

292
00:10:31,769 --> 00:10:33,769
things, is you don't have to go by

293
00:10:33,769 --> 00:10:36,490
the feasts. The feasts have been fulfilled in

294
00:10:36,490 --> 00:10:36,990
Christ.

295
00:10:37,529 --> 00:10:39,690
As long as you understand Jesus, you don't

296
00:10:39,690 --> 00:10:41,949
have to fulfill the feasts. Okay?

297
00:10:42,345 --> 00:10:44,024
And so that and now and this is

298
00:10:44,024 --> 00:10:46,105
important too because there are some different groups.

299
00:10:46,105 --> 00:10:48,184
Now these are mostly what you would call

300
00:10:48,184 --> 00:10:49,404
Hebrewist today,

301
00:10:49,944 --> 00:10:52,924
but they are woven throughout the Messianic,

302
00:10:54,184 --> 00:10:55,164
Jewish church

303
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,799
to a detriment of the messianic Jewish church.

304
00:10:57,799 --> 00:10:59,580
And they are trying to pull,

305
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,700
the Jewish groups, specifically messianic Jews

306
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,360
back into old testament law just like just

307
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,324
like Peter did, telling them they have to

308
00:11:09,324 --> 00:11:09,911
be circumcised. You're the one who revealed to

309
00:11:09,911 --> 00:11:10,964
us through the vision that God gave you

310
00:11:10,964 --> 00:11:13,304
that they don't need to do that anymore.

311
00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:21,980
For a Christian. That that's the messianic part.

312
00:11:21,980 --> 00:11:23,940
Jesus fulfilled all that. There's no there's no

313
00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:26,019
restrictions of of how you have to fulfill

314
00:11:26,019 --> 00:11:27,779
the feast and all this stuff. And this

315
00:11:27,779 --> 00:11:28,600
is part of

316
00:11:33,195 --> 00:11:34,634
what Paul is saying here. You don't have

317
00:11:34,634 --> 00:11:35,835
to you don't have to do all of

318
00:11:35,835 --> 00:11:38,235
that stuff. Okay? And when somebody tells you

319
00:11:38,235 --> 00:11:40,554
that you do, go to this scripture, remind

320
00:11:40,554 --> 00:11:42,715
yourself that they are preaching something that is

321
00:11:42,715 --> 00:11:43,774
not with scripture.

322
00:11:44,634 --> 00:11:46,554
Okay? I pick on these things all the

323
00:11:46,554 --> 00:11:47,595
time. I every now and then I have

324
00:11:47,595 --> 00:11:49,509
somebody come along that tells me I can't

325
00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:52,149
eat bacon. And I'm like, the bible tells

326
00:11:52,149 --> 00:11:52,970
me I can.

327
00:11:54,629 --> 00:11:56,490
Specifically tells me I can.

328
00:11:57,110 --> 00:11:58,250
It shows it.

329
00:11:59,110 --> 00:12:00,789
Eat bacon. I mean, doesn't use the word

330
00:12:00,789 --> 00:12:01,610
bacon probably.

331
00:12:01,955 --> 00:12:03,017
So so here's the thing with this. There

332
00:12:03,017 --> 00:12:04,034
is another side to this and this is

333
00:12:04,034 --> 00:12:04,774
just as important.

334
00:12:05,315 --> 00:12:07,315
It says that these feasts and things are

335
00:12:07,315 --> 00:12:08,855
a shadow are shadows

336
00:12:09,315 --> 00:12:11,174
of the reality to come

337
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,839
and that Jesus Christ himself is that reality.

338
00:12:17,839 --> 00:12:19,440
Now, if you're not careful, what you do

339
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,759
is you say, okay, all these old testament

340
00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:23,699
feasts bring us up to Jesus,

341
00:12:24,959 --> 00:12:27,220
dying on the cross, he is the reality

342
00:12:27,759 --> 00:12:30,254
of that. He has fulfilled all of that

343
00:12:30,335 --> 00:12:32,174
theme of the Old Testament is Jesus is

344
00:12:32,174 --> 00:12:33,455
coming. That's the point of the whole thing.

345
00:12:33,455 --> 00:12:33,955
If

346
00:12:34,414 --> 00:12:37,475
you get that, you get the you get

347
00:12:37,615 --> 00:12:39,075
the Old Testament. You understand

348
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:46,620
Jesus is coming. The theme of the new

349
00:12:46,620 --> 00:12:47,120
testament

350
00:12:47,420 --> 00:12:50,460
is Jesus is coming again. He is still

351
00:12:50,460 --> 00:12:51,200
the reality

352
00:12:51,899 --> 00:12:54,220
that these feasts are talking about. And some

353
00:12:54,220 --> 00:12:56,639
of the stuff that has not happened yet,

354
00:12:56,835 --> 00:12:59,415
Old Testament first. Because why? Jesus is still

355
00:12:59,955 --> 00:13:00,705
the reality.

356
00:13:11,269 --> 00:13:13,529
So even though you don't have to

357
00:13:14,470 --> 00:13:16,809
go by all the feast and celebrate the

358
00:13:17,190 --> 00:13:19,429
the the festivals and all that stuff, it's

359
00:13:19,429 --> 00:13:20,970
very I think it's

360
00:13:21,669 --> 00:13:23,669
I think it's very naive to think you

361
00:13:23,669 --> 00:13:25,129
don't need to know the information.

362
00:13:26,615 --> 00:13:27,595
Because the information

363
00:13:28,294 --> 00:13:30,534
is still telling us about stuff that has

364
00:13:30,534 --> 00:13:31,754
not happened yet.

365
00:13:32,455 --> 00:13:33,434
This is important.

366
00:13:34,054 --> 00:13:34,554
Okay?

367
00:13:35,654 --> 00:13:38,154
So let me let me go through

368
00:13:38,779 --> 00:13:40,460
the feast. You have the spring feast, and

369
00:13:40,460 --> 00:13:41,500
I'm gonna show you a couple of things

370
00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:42,799
this year you probably haven't

371
00:13:43,179 --> 00:13:43,919
heard before.

372
00:13:45,660 --> 00:13:49,179
That you've got the the spring feasts. Okay.

373
00:13:49,179 --> 00:13:50,860
The the two names we'll focus on, but

374
00:13:50,860 --> 00:13:51,679
there's others,

375
00:13:51,995 --> 00:13:52,495
simple,

376
00:13:52,954 --> 00:13:55,544
understanding of Passover is, the Egyptians

377
00:14:05,389 --> 00:14:07,710
were had made slaves of the Israelites, and

378
00:14:07,710 --> 00:14:09,309
Israelites are calling out to God. And God

379
00:14:09,309 --> 00:14:11,490
says, okay, I'll deliver you. You've sent Moses.

380
00:14:11,790 --> 00:14:13,649
Moses comes in the 10 plagues.

381
00:14:14,750 --> 00:14:15,889
And the 10th plague

382
00:14:16,350 --> 00:14:16,850
is,

383
00:14:18,345 --> 00:14:20,284
I'm gonna kill all of the firstborn,

384
00:14:21,544 --> 00:14:22,445
in the families,

385
00:14:22,904 --> 00:14:24,985
of every family. It doesn't matter who Egyptian

386
00:14:24,985 --> 00:14:27,485
is, it doesn't matter. But here's how you,

387
00:14:28,345 --> 00:14:29,245
save yourself

388
00:14:29,784 --> 00:14:30,924
from this destruction.

389
00:14:32,319 --> 00:14:33,919
As you take a lamb, and there were

390
00:14:33,919 --> 00:14:35,919
some criteria on that, take a lamb and

391
00:14:35,919 --> 00:14:37,360
how they made bread, all of this stuff

392
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,199
is important in the story. And this is

393
00:14:39,199 --> 00:14:41,120
what we do every year at at our

394
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,019
spring seder

395
00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:44,480
dinner here at the church because it's a

396
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,735
celebration of Passover, but with all of the

397
00:14:46,735 --> 00:14:49,394
understanding of Jesus being fulfilled and explained.

398
00:14:49,855 --> 00:14:52,894
K? So you take the lamb, you kill

399
00:14:52,894 --> 00:14:54,495
the lamb, you take the blood of the

400
00:14:54,495 --> 00:14:56,014
lamb and you put it over your doorpost

401
00:14:56,014 --> 00:14:58,334
or you cover your house with the blood

402
00:14:58,334 --> 00:15:01,490
of the lamb, and that saves you from

403
00:15:02,110 --> 00:15:02,610
death.

404
00:15:03,549 --> 00:15:04,049
Okay?

405
00:15:05,709 --> 00:15:08,110
Then they all left after that. So when

406
00:15:08,110 --> 00:15:11,089
John the Baptist is is, baptizing Jesus

407
00:15:11,470 --> 00:15:13,870
and Jesus comes walking up, he says, behold

408
00:15:13,870 --> 00:15:15,409
the lamb of God

409
00:15:15,804 --> 00:15:18,065
that takes away the sins of the world.

410
00:15:18,285 --> 00:15:21,804
Every person there immediately knew and everybody that

411
00:15:21,804 --> 00:15:23,985
that's had any Jewish background

412
00:15:24,445 --> 00:15:26,925
knew immediately even when we write it and

413
00:15:26,925 --> 00:15:29,264
they read it now, that that meant

414
00:15:29,610 --> 00:15:30,350
that Jesus

415
00:15:30,730 --> 00:15:33,070
is that lamb in Exodus

416
00:15:33,610 --> 00:15:36,409
that is the Passover lamb. And this is

417
00:15:36,409 --> 00:15:38,350
a feast and a and a

418
00:15:38,649 --> 00:15:40,029
festival that is celebrated

419
00:15:40,730 --> 00:15:44,524
every single year at in the spring during

420
00:15:44,585 --> 00:15:45,085
Passover.

421
00:15:45,705 --> 00:15:48,684
We now have changed that a little bit

422
00:15:49,225 --> 00:15:50,924
and come up with something actually,

423
00:15:51,304 --> 00:15:52,605
it's a different thing.

424
00:15:52,985 --> 00:15:54,125
We call it Easter.

425
00:15:54,504 --> 00:15:57,225
K. It's not exactly because it's been changed

426
00:15:57,225 --> 00:15:58,940
enough that it doesn't put the focus on

427
00:15:58,940 --> 00:16:00,459
all this, but that's where Easter came from

428
00:16:00,459 --> 00:16:01,839
was the concept of Passover.

429
00:16:02,459 --> 00:16:04,539
And yes, it was changed and twisted by

430
00:16:04,539 --> 00:16:05,039
different,

431
00:16:06,059 --> 00:16:07,819
religious groups and things like that. And then

432
00:16:07,819 --> 00:16:09,500
a bunny got involved and a bunch of,

433
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:11,625
you know, chocolate eggs and stuff like that.

434
00:16:11,705 --> 00:16:12,904
Did the the that's where it came from.

435
00:16:12,904 --> 00:16:14,119
And so every year for for about 3000

436
00:16:14,119 --> 00:16:14,424
years, the Jews have celebrated passover. What is

437
00:16:14,424 --> 00:16:16,125
the point of passover?

438
00:16:24,019 --> 00:16:26,500
That they are looking forward to the Messiah

439
00:16:26,500 --> 00:16:29,639
coming. They're looking back and realizing that that

440
00:16:29,940 --> 00:16:31,720
that little animal lamb

441
00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:34,340
is going to be fulfilled someday in a

442
00:16:34,340 --> 00:16:36,980
Messiah. That's why at Passover, there is a

443
00:16:36,980 --> 00:16:39,894
Messiah's cup. Every single time you do Passover,

444
00:16:39,894 --> 00:16:41,894
you have a messiah's cup and nobody drinks

445
00:16:41,894 --> 00:16:42,794
out of that cup.

446
00:16:43,975 --> 00:16:45,514
Nobody drinks out of that cup

447
00:16:45,894 --> 00:16:49,034
because it's the messiah's cup. Now, Jesus,

448
00:16:49,654 --> 00:16:51,434
when he dies on the cross,

449
00:16:51,779 --> 00:16:52,519
he died

450
00:16:53,059 --> 00:16:54,120
on Passover.

451
00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:57,559
That is not coincidence.

452
00:16:58,820 --> 00:17:00,980
In fact, the Lord had planned for him

453
00:17:00,980 --> 00:17:02,199
to die on Passover

454
00:17:02,740 --> 00:17:03,240
before

455
00:17:04,259 --> 00:17:05,559
Passover happened.

456
00:17:07,484 --> 00:17:08,704
Jesus had been

457
00:17:09,085 --> 00:17:09,585
ordained,

458
00:17:09,964 --> 00:17:12,545
anointed to die on Passover.

459
00:17:14,204 --> 00:17:17,164
Okay? This is this is vitally important. That's

460
00:17:17,164 --> 00:17:19,325
why they did all that. They didn't do

461
00:17:19,325 --> 00:17:20,845
all of that and then, oh, by the

462
00:17:20,845 --> 00:17:22,710
way, that would be a great time for

463
00:17:22,710 --> 00:17:23,769
Jesus to die.

464
00:17:24,869 --> 00:17:27,369
They did all of that to set up

465
00:17:27,429 --> 00:17:29,769
that Jesus was going to die

466
00:17:30,309 --> 00:17:32,970
on that day. And so they've been practicing

467
00:17:33,029 --> 00:17:35,849
this and and celebrating this for 3000 years.

468
00:17:36,375 --> 00:17:37,115
Now then,

469
00:17:37,654 --> 00:17:39,275
50 days after Passover

470
00:17:39,894 --> 00:17:41,035
is a festival

471
00:17:41,414 --> 00:17:43,414
called Pentecost. They've been doing this a long

472
00:17:43,414 --> 00:17:45,515
time. If if you're only a New Testament

473
00:17:45,575 --> 00:17:47,974
reader, first that's a bad idea because you

474
00:17:47,974 --> 00:17:49,595
don't understand the big picture.

475
00:17:50,130 --> 00:17:52,529
But you think that Pentecost is what happens

476
00:17:52,529 --> 00:17:53,829
on acts chapter 2.

477
00:17:54,369 --> 00:17:56,369
It is not what happens on acts chapter

478
00:17:56,369 --> 00:17:58,070
2. It was fulfilled

479
00:17:58,769 --> 00:18:01,009
on acts chapter 2 of a festival that

480
00:18:01,009 --> 00:18:02,070
they had been celebrating

481
00:18:02,450 --> 00:18:04,549
for literally centuries upon centuries.

482
00:18:05,265 --> 00:18:07,585
Okay. These were all festivals and feasts that

483
00:18:07,585 --> 00:18:08,404
God established

484
00:18:08,705 --> 00:18:11,184
and said, practice these every year. And the

485
00:18:11,184 --> 00:18:11,684
the

486
00:18:12,144 --> 00:18:14,164
the feast or the festival of Pentecost

487
00:18:14,465 --> 00:18:16,625
the reason it was called Pentecost is 50

488
00:18:16,625 --> 00:18:17,445
days after

489
00:18:18,945 --> 00:18:19,445
Passover.

490
00:18:19,829 --> 00:18:20,329
Beginning

491
00:18:20,950 --> 00:18:21,450
of

492
00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:23,349
the harvest. This is when everybody started the

493
00:18:23,349 --> 00:18:24,970
the, the, planting and and

494
00:18:25,509 --> 00:18:26,250
harvesting season,

495
00:18:32,695 --> 00:18:36,394
okay, like springtime. That's what it is. Now,

496
00:18:37,015 --> 00:18:39,575
it is not coincidence that the Holy Spirit,

497
00:18:39,575 --> 00:18:41,174
when it says in acts 1 verse 8,

498
00:18:41,174 --> 00:18:43,095
and you will receive power after the Holy

499
00:18:43,095 --> 00:18:44,309
Spirit has come upon you,

500
00:18:49,670 --> 00:18:51,750
Jerusalem, Jadais, Samarian to the ends of the

501
00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:53,990
earth. That that is the day the Holy

502
00:18:53,990 --> 00:18:54,970
Spirit chooses

503
00:18:55,750 --> 00:18:57,370
to pour in

504
00:18:57,750 --> 00:18:59,910
for the first time in human history, to

505
00:18:59,910 --> 00:19:02,705
pour into people rather than using people

506
00:19:03,244 --> 00:19:05,664
by his power. This is what John says

507
00:19:05,724 --> 00:19:06,545
when he says,

508
00:19:07,085 --> 00:19:08,305
later he will be,

509
00:19:10,045 --> 00:19:12,605
in you. Right now he's with you. Later

510
00:19:12,605 --> 00:19:13,744
he will be in you.

511
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:15,960
For the first time, the Holy Spirit is

512
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:16,460
now

513
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,180
empowering or indwelling believers,

514
00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:21,420
right? They're already believers.

515
00:19:21,799 --> 00:19:24,539
They're already Christians. And now, he empowers

516
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:25,420
Christians.

517
00:19:25,799 --> 00:19:27,820
And he does it consistently, constantly,

518
00:19:28,493 --> 00:19:31,813
as a in our Christian life. That is

519
00:19:31,813 --> 00:19:35,133
the day the holy spirit, entered into human

520
00:19:35,133 --> 00:19:38,083
existence this way, the day that the harvest

521
00:19:38,083 --> 00:19:41,034
begins. This is part of the reason for

522
00:19:41,034 --> 00:19:43,470
the speaking in tongues, Right? What are we

523
00:19:43,470 --> 00:19:44,670
supposed to be doing? We're supposed to be

524
00:19:44,670 --> 00:19:46,049
going and telling people

525
00:19:46,430 --> 00:19:48,750
about Jesus. And speaking in tongues is not

526
00:19:48,750 --> 00:19:51,170
only a constant reminder, but it's the process

527
00:19:51,470 --> 00:19:53,710
of how we're being empowered and filled. And

528
00:19:53,710 --> 00:19:56,029
so we're we're speaking in tongues, we're praying

529
00:19:56,029 --> 00:19:58,565
in tongues, and that is the vehicle

530
00:19:58,865 --> 00:20:01,045
that takes the gospel to the world.

531
00:20:01,744 --> 00:20:04,305
None of that is coincidence. Every single element

532
00:20:04,305 --> 00:20:06,464
of this is is vitally important and it's

533
00:20:06,464 --> 00:20:08,305
and it's all part of the bigger story

534
00:20:08,305 --> 00:20:10,565
that started way back in the old testament.

535
00:20:11,220 --> 00:20:11,720
Alright?

536
00:20:12,900 --> 00:20:14,179
Now, those are the spring,

537
00:20:14,500 --> 00:20:17,319
festivals. Then you come through the summer,

538
00:20:17,779 --> 00:20:19,940
through the time frame of the,

539
00:20:20,660 --> 00:20:23,299
planting seeds, sowing seeds, those kind of things.

540
00:20:23,299 --> 00:20:25,299
And you come to the end of the

541
00:20:25,299 --> 00:20:25,799
harvest.

542
00:20:26,595 --> 00:20:27,095
Okay.

543
00:20:27,554 --> 00:20:28,535
This is where

544
00:20:28,994 --> 00:20:29,974
you have 3

545
00:20:30,595 --> 00:20:33,734
basic feasts. You have the feast of trumpets,

546
00:20:34,115 --> 00:20:35,875
which is the end of the harvest. They

547
00:20:35,875 --> 00:20:38,434
blow a bunch of trumpets and everybody comes

548
00:20:38,434 --> 00:20:40,454
in and the harvest is now over.

549
00:20:40,829 --> 00:20:41,329
Coincidence.

550
00:20:42,429 --> 00:20:43,679
Okay? Then you have the Feast of Tabernacles

551
00:20:43,679 --> 00:20:45,329
which is I'm sorry,

552
00:20:45,630 --> 00:20:47,630
the day of atonement which is today we

553
00:20:47,630 --> 00:20:48,130
call

554
00:20:48,829 --> 00:20:49,970
it Yom Yom Kippur

555
00:20:54,365 --> 00:20:54,865
is

556
00:20:55,325 --> 00:20:56,805
ready for the Lord to return. Okay? Then

557
00:20:56,805 --> 00:20:57,404
you have the feast of tabernacles which is

558
00:20:57,404 --> 00:20:58,045
everybody goes outside the city and camps in

559
00:20:58,045 --> 00:20:58,945
tents outside the city.

560
00:20:59,805 --> 00:21:01,585
So and it's called tabernacling.

561
00:21:11,339 --> 00:21:13,099
When they do that, it is to remind

562
00:21:13,099 --> 00:21:15,339
them that they are temporary residents on this

563
00:21:15,339 --> 00:21:15,839
earth.

564
00:21:16,380 --> 00:21:17,759
That's the point of this.

565
00:21:18,460 --> 00:21:19,920
None of this is coincidence.

566
00:21:21,019 --> 00:21:23,500
K? Those are the fall festivals. The reason

567
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:25,440
the reason I'm preaching the sermon today

568
00:21:25,765 --> 00:21:28,164
is because that starts this year in October

569
00:21:28,164 --> 00:21:31,044
3rd and goes those 3 feasts go through,

570
00:21:31,285 --> 00:21:34,744
October 24th, from October 3rd to October 24th.

571
00:21:34,964 --> 00:21:36,404
And why am I doing it now? Because

572
00:21:36,404 --> 00:21:38,184
I want you at least to be ready

573
00:21:38,244 --> 00:21:40,484
if the rapture happens this year. Because I

574
00:21:40,484 --> 00:21:40,984
believe

575
00:21:41,819 --> 00:21:44,779
that's the time frame of the year that

576
00:21:44,779 --> 00:21:46,399
the rapture is going to appear.

577
00:21:46,980 --> 00:21:47,480
Right?

578
00:21:48,059 --> 00:21:49,980
Not necessarily this year, but I will get

579
00:21:49,980 --> 00:21:50,640
back to you.

580
00:21:51,579 --> 00:21:54,299
The rapture I believe I believe that everything

581
00:21:54,299 --> 00:21:55,519
in scripture is showing

582
00:21:56,654 --> 00:21:58,575
dies on the cross on Passover, holy spirits

583
00:21:58,575 --> 00:22:00,335
poured out on Pentecost. In fact, when I

584
00:22:00,335 --> 00:22:02,115
was growing up, I heard this regularly.

585
00:22:02,575 --> 00:22:03,394
I would hear

586
00:22:04,414 --> 00:22:05,554
the poster, whatever.

587
00:22:08,349 --> 00:22:09,789
When it talks about in Acts chapter 2

588
00:22:09,789 --> 00:22:11,789
that everybody was in 1 quarter, everybody was

589
00:22:11,789 --> 00:22:13,089
unit in unity,

590
00:22:13,470 --> 00:22:15,470
then the Holy Spirit was poured out. That

591
00:22:15,470 --> 00:22:16,909
is not the right way to look at

592
00:22:16,909 --> 00:22:19,470
that scripture. Okay? It is not. But usually,

593
00:22:19,470 --> 00:22:21,329
the pastor is trying to preach a message

594
00:22:21,389 --> 00:22:23,069
because there's a lot of disunity in the

595
00:22:23,069 --> 00:22:24,865
church and he wants to bring unity and

596
00:22:24,865 --> 00:22:26,545
he's using the big one that's the empowerment

597
00:22:26,545 --> 00:22:28,464
of the holy spirit so that everybody will

598
00:22:28,464 --> 00:22:31,045
get along and specifically get along with him.

599
00:22:31,664 --> 00:22:33,505
That I really believe that's the reason that

600
00:22:33,505 --> 00:22:35,664
was preached because being in one accord had

601
00:22:35,664 --> 00:22:37,904
nothing to do with when the holy spirit

602
00:22:37,904 --> 00:22:38,805
was being poured.

603
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,339
Key ingredient to

604
00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:41,847
when the Holy Spirit's poured out? The day

605
00:22:41,847 --> 00:22:42,720
on the calendar called Pentecost. That was the

606
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,160
day that the Holy Spirit was going to

607
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,140
be poured out.

608
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,940
Whether people were unified or

609
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:48,900
not,

610
00:22:55,214 --> 00:22:56,914
it was gonna be on that day.

611
00:22:57,934 --> 00:22:59,775
Okay? Anybody that was in unity with the

612
00:22:59,775 --> 00:23:01,294
Lord were gonna be filled with the Holy

613
00:23:01,294 --> 00:23:03,554
Spirit. That's all you had to have. Alright?

614
00:23:03,615 --> 00:23:04,115
Now,

615
00:23:05,214 --> 00:23:06,734
let me back up just a little bit

616
00:23:06,734 --> 00:23:07,394
and mention

617
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,480
that the time frame now that that is

618
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,080
called the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of

619
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,640
Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles, that's all

620
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,180
kind of been included together.

621
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,200
And that has been called It's now being

622
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,420
called Rosh Hashanah.

623
00:23:20,974 --> 00:23:23,455
Now, that's a Jewish tradition that is not

624
00:23:23,455 --> 00:23:23,955
biblical.

625
00:23:25,055 --> 00:23:26,994
Okay? Jewish tradition is RashaShana.

626
00:23:27,455 --> 00:23:29,375
But there's some problems with this that I

627
00:23:29,375 --> 00:23:31,154
think has been a little bit of deception

628
00:23:32,255 --> 00:23:34,434
over over the cent over the millennial

629
00:23:34,819 --> 00:23:35,319
of

630
00:23:35,859 --> 00:23:37,002
deception here. And let me you'll get it

631
00:23:37,002 --> 00:23:38,519
when I explain this. Rasha,

632
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:40,519
shaana is the celebration

633
00:23:46,914 --> 00:23:49,075
of the new year, the Jewish new year.

634
00:23:49,075 --> 00:23:51,174
So that's the beginning of the year.

635
00:23:52,355 --> 00:23:54,454
They in fact, when they go around, they

636
00:23:54,674 --> 00:23:56,535
they shout out Shana Tova,

637
00:23:57,075 --> 00:23:57,815
and then

638
00:23:58,355 --> 00:23:59,174
they will,

639
00:24:00,434 --> 00:24:03,659
bless you. Happy new year. Okay? Now, this

640
00:24:03,659 --> 00:24:04,822
is the reason they do that is because

641
00:24:04,822 --> 00:24:05,869
they consider this new year.

642
00:24:18,215 --> 00:24:20,075
But there's some problems with that.

643
00:24:21,174 --> 00:24:21,994
One is,

644
00:24:22,775 --> 00:24:24,715
the biggest one is in scripture

645
00:24:25,494 --> 00:24:27,195
in Exodus chapter 12,

646
00:24:27,654 --> 00:24:28,394
it specifically

647
00:24:29,174 --> 00:24:31,974
says that passover is the beginning of the

648
00:24:31,974 --> 00:24:32,474
year,

649
00:24:34,299 --> 00:24:36,460
not the feast of trumpets. Rosh Hashanah is

650
00:24:36,460 --> 00:24:38,859
not a word in the bible. Okay. That's

651
00:24:38,859 --> 00:24:41,279
a Jewish creation. That's a Jewish tradition.

652
00:24:41,579 --> 00:24:43,740
They still celebrate the 3 feasts in the

653
00:24:43,740 --> 00:24:46,059
fall, but they've included them together to call

654
00:24:46,059 --> 00:24:46,799
Rosh Hashanah.

655
00:24:47,355 --> 00:24:49,515
But the the beginning of the year according

656
00:24:49,515 --> 00:24:52,394
to Exodus 12 is Passover. You say does

657
00:24:52,394 --> 00:24:53,855
that matter? Yes.

658
00:24:54,154 --> 00:24:56,095
Because 7 months later,

659
00:24:57,194 --> 00:24:58,494
the 7th month

660
00:24:59,115 --> 00:25:00,974
is the Feast of Tabernacles

661
00:25:01,339 --> 00:25:03,980
or the the, I'm sorry, the feast of

662
00:25:03,980 --> 00:25:07,019
trumpets begins this. That is the 7th month

663
00:25:07,019 --> 00:25:08,940
of the year. To me, there's there's not

664
00:25:08,940 --> 00:25:09,599
a coincidence

665
00:25:10,059 --> 00:25:12,160
that creation is 7 days.

666
00:25:12,700 --> 00:25:14,720
6 days God's God rests.

667
00:25:15,315 --> 00:25:17,474
The earth is I mean, people on the

668
00:25:17,474 --> 00:25:19,154
earth since Adam and Eve I don't want

669
00:25:19,154 --> 00:25:20,994
to explain all that. But just since Adam

670
00:25:20,994 --> 00:25:22,054
and Eve till now

671
00:25:22,514 --> 00:25:22,994
is,

672
00:25:23,315 --> 00:25:25,014
right at 6000 years.

673
00:25:26,115 --> 00:25:28,134
The 7th is God's,

674
00:25:28,514 --> 00:25:29,014
completion

675
00:25:30,109 --> 00:25:30,609
finality

676
00:25:30,910 --> 00:25:31,970
of these things,

677
00:25:32,350 --> 00:25:34,269
and that's the 7th month. Well that was

678
00:25:34,269 --> 00:25:37,330
changed. So so mentally people are not processing

679
00:25:37,390 --> 00:25:37,890
nowadays.

680
00:25:38,269 --> 00:25:40,130
The fact that the Feast of Trumpets

681
00:25:40,430 --> 00:25:42,590
is gonna be on the 7th month, they

682
00:25:42,590 --> 00:25:44,289
say that's the 1st month.

683
00:25:45,095 --> 00:25:47,494
But the 1st month is actually the beginning

684
00:25:47,494 --> 00:25:49,974
of the story, the day Jesus dies on

685
00:25:49,974 --> 00:25:50,634
the cross.

686
00:25:51,734 --> 00:25:54,715
That's the 1st month. That's their new year.

687
00:25:55,255 --> 00:25:56,555
But they changed this.

688
00:25:57,095 --> 00:25:57,595
Now

689
00:25:59,619 --> 00:26:00,259
here is,

690
00:26:02,420 --> 00:26:04,099
here's where we're gonna go with this. I

691
00:26:04,099 --> 00:26:06,340
wanna show you that Well, first, I I

692
00:26:06,340 --> 00:26:08,680
strongly believe So the feast of trumpets,

693
00:26:09,140 --> 00:26:11,080
they blow the trumpets, everybody comes in,

694
00:26:11,460 --> 00:26:13,240
from the from the harvest.

695
00:26:13,565 --> 00:26:14,065
Guys,

696
00:26:14,525 --> 00:26:15,664
that's that's the rapture.

697
00:26:16,845 --> 00:26:18,304
That's This thing is over.

698
00:26:18,765 --> 00:26:19,744
No more harvesting.

699
00:26:20,684 --> 00:26:22,845
We're done. We're in the we're in the

700
00:26:22,845 --> 00:26:25,325
season of planting and harvesting right now. This

701
00:26:25,325 --> 00:26:27,105
is when Jesus says, look on the fields

702
00:26:27,164 --> 00:26:27,664
now

703
00:26:28,079 --> 00:26:30,400
for their wide under harvest. That means go

704
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,960
now into the to the fields. Go now

705
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,640
to talk because he's talking about the lost

706
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,240
there. He's not talking about anything else. He's

707
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,559
talking about people that need him as their

708
00:26:38,559 --> 00:26:40,799
savior. Go into the fields now. Guys, that's

709
00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:42,845
in the time frame we're in. When Jesus

710
00:26:42,845 --> 00:26:45,085
blows the trumpets or he doesn't, but he

711
00:26:45,085 --> 00:26:47,805
has, Michael blow the trumpets. When Michael blows

712
00:26:47,805 --> 00:26:48,465
the trumpets,

713
00:26:49,085 --> 00:26:51,184
we're we're done. The harvest is over.

714
00:26:52,684 --> 00:26:55,570
The raptures happen. Harvest is over. And we're

715
00:26:55,570 --> 00:26:57,170
gonna go be with Jesus. And then we

716
00:26:57,170 --> 00:26:58,789
have day of atonement, the repentance,

717
00:26:59,250 --> 00:26:59,890
and then,

718
00:27:00,930 --> 00:27:01,410
the,

719
00:27:02,049 --> 00:27:04,549
piece of tabernacles reminding us that we're all

720
00:27:04,609 --> 00:27:05,910
that we're all temporarily

721
00:27:06,690 --> 00:27:08,070
here on this earth.

722
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,039
Verse 51. But let me reveal to you

723
00:27:25,039 --> 00:27:26,099
a wonderful secret.

724
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,039
We will not all die, but we will

725
00:27:29,039 --> 00:27:31,039
all be transformed. It will happen in a

726
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:31,539
moment.

727
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:32,819
That's important.

728
00:27:33,414 --> 00:27:36,315
An instantaneous moment is part of the description

729
00:27:36,375 --> 00:27:38,055
that the Lord gives us. Why? Because it's

730
00:27:38,055 --> 00:27:39,275
part of the importance

731
00:27:39,974 --> 00:27:41,974
of the story. It will happen in a

732
00:27:41,974 --> 00:27:43,414
moment in the blink of an eye when

733
00:27:43,414 --> 00:27:45,035
the last trumpet is blown.

734
00:27:46,159 --> 00:27:48,240
Soon as the last one is done, we're

735
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:48,740
gone.

736
00:27:49,279 --> 00:27:49,779
Okay.

737
00:27:50,079 --> 00:27:52,319
For when the trumpet sounds, those who have

738
00:27:52,319 --> 00:27:54,480
died will be raised to live forever. And

739
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,500
we who are living will also be transformed.

740
00:27:57,039 --> 00:27:59,519
For our dying bodies must be transformed into

741
00:27:59,519 --> 00:28:00,900
bodies that will never die.

742
00:28:01,414 --> 00:28:03,595
Our mortal bodies must be transformed

743
00:28:03,974 --> 00:28:05,434
into immortal bodies.

744
00:28:06,294 --> 00:28:06,794
Okay.

745
00:28:07,174 --> 00:28:08,075
1st Thessalonians

746
00:28:08,375 --> 00:28:09,194
chapter 4.

747
00:28:11,095 --> 00:28:12,634
And and by the way, that's

748
00:28:13,910 --> 00:28:15,190
how does that happen? When does that happen?

749
00:28:15,190 --> 00:28:17,429
We don't know how he transforms us, but

750
00:28:17,429 --> 00:28:19,990
when does that happen? When we're raptured and

751
00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:21,289
and and we're with Jesus

752
00:28:21,910 --> 00:28:23,509
and he takes us and presents us this

753
00:28:23,509 --> 00:28:25,829
is Ephesians 5. When he presents us to

754
00:28:25,829 --> 00:28:28,069
God the father as pure and spotless without

755
00:28:28,069 --> 00:28:29,914
any sin with no blemish,

756
00:28:30,454 --> 00:28:32,134
he presents us to God the father. This

757
00:28:32,134 --> 00:28:33,194
is when that happens.

758
00:28:33,734 --> 00:28:36,234
K. This is all important in time sequence.

759
00:28:36,454 --> 00:28:38,054
There is not a place that this is

760
00:28:38,054 --> 00:28:39,734
gonna happen later and I'm gonna show you

761
00:28:39,734 --> 00:28:40,634
that. K.

762
00:28:41,570 --> 00:28:42,230
And then

763
00:28:42,609 --> 00:28:45,269
verse 17. Then together with them,

764
00:28:45,890 --> 00:28:47,349
everybody that's being raptured,

765
00:28:47,809 --> 00:28:50,289
we who are still alive and remain on

766
00:28:50,289 --> 00:28:52,529
the earth will be caught up in the

767
00:28:52,529 --> 00:28:53,029
clouds

768
00:28:54,255 --> 00:28:55,154
in the clouds

769
00:28:55,615 --> 00:28:57,875
to meet the Lord in the air.

770
00:28:58,575 --> 00:29:00,015
This is important. I'm gonna show you the

771
00:29:00,015 --> 00:29:01,875
scripture in a second that

772
00:29:02,255 --> 00:29:04,894
the second coming, Jesus is not in the

773
00:29:04,894 --> 00:29:05,394
clouds.

774
00:29:06,140 --> 00:29:07,570
Unknown. It's going to be immediately at the

775
00:29:07,570 --> 00:29:08,940
end of the tribulation that Jesus comes down

776
00:29:08,940 --> 00:29:10,860
and he puts his feet on the earth.

777
00:29:10,860 --> 00:29:13,279
He's not taking us anywhere. He's not meeting

778
00:29:13,420 --> 00:29:14,320
us in the air.

779
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:22,325
None of these things are happening. It is

780
00:29:22,325 --> 00:29:23,465
a very succinctly

781
00:29:23,845 --> 00:29:27,225
described moment where Jesus comes to the earth

782
00:29:27,285 --> 00:29:29,065
and puts his feet on the earth.

783
00:29:29,765 --> 00:29:32,085
Okay? He's not he's not in the air

784
00:29:32,085 --> 00:29:34,025
at this point. But this right here says

785
00:29:34,349 --> 00:29:36,829
that we will meet him. We are caught

786
00:29:36,829 --> 00:29:38,509
up in the clouds to meet the Lord

787
00:29:38,509 --> 00:29:39,410
in the air.

788
00:29:39,789 --> 00:29:41,789
That does not happen at the end of

789
00:29:41,789 --> 00:29:42,450
the tribulation.

790
00:29:42,750 --> 00:29:44,690
There is nowhere of a description

791
00:29:44,990 --> 00:29:46,349
of this happening in the at the end

792
00:29:46,349 --> 00:29:47,089
of the tribulation.

793
00:29:47,470 --> 00:29:47,712
Nowhere does Jesus hang out in the clouds

794
00:29:47,712 --> 00:29:47,955
and wait for us. Nowhere does Jesus hang

795
00:29:47,955 --> 00:29:48,198
out in the clouds and wait for us.

796
00:29:48,198 --> 00:29:49,484
Nowhere does Jesus hang out in the hang

797
00:29:49,484 --> 00:29:51,664
out in the clouds and wait for us.

798
00:29:53,325 --> 00:29:56,224
This rapture is totally different. Now,

799
00:29:56,605 --> 00:29:58,525
there's also the mid tribulation thing, and I

800
00:29:58,525 --> 00:29:59,509
think that one has the least amount of

801
00:29:59,509 --> 00:29:59,573
scriptures to back it up. There's 2 kinds

802
00:29:59,573 --> 00:29:59,644
of mid tribulation thought. 1 is, there's 2

803
00:29:59,644 --> 00:30:00,464
kinds of

804
00:30:01,579 --> 00:30:03,820
There's 2 kinds of mid tribulation thought. One

805
00:30:03,820 --> 00:30:04,320
is,

806
00:30:05,660 --> 00:30:08,059
they don't call themselves mid tribulation. They call

807
00:30:08,059 --> 00:30:10,140
themselves pre tribulation, but it happens at the

808
00:30:10,140 --> 00:30:12,380
three and a half year mark because the

809
00:30:12,380 --> 00:30:13,200
great tribulation

810
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:15,500
is the second half of the 3 years.

811
00:30:15,500 --> 00:30:16,240
The tribulation

812
00:30:16,875 --> 00:30:18,315
is the first half. First three and a

813
00:30:18,315 --> 00:30:19,535
half years is called tribulation.

814
00:30:19,914 --> 00:30:22,075
2nd half is called the great tribulation. And

815
00:30:22,075 --> 00:30:23,595
so they say, well, Jesus is going to

816
00:30:23,595 --> 00:30:25,134
come back before the great tribulation.

817
00:30:25,835 --> 00:30:26,894
The problem is,

818
00:30:27,674 --> 00:30:30,255
the tribulation is 7 years long.

819
00:30:31,150 --> 00:30:34,109
You can't Even though scripture does differentiate between

820
00:30:34,109 --> 00:30:36,369
the two halves, it's all called the tribulation.

821
00:30:36,429 --> 00:30:38,929
So that argument to me has no legitimacy

822
00:30:38,990 --> 00:30:39,490
whatsoever.

823
00:30:39,950 --> 00:30:41,789
The other one is, we believe in the

824
00:30:41,789 --> 00:30:43,569
mid tribulation because Jesus,

825
00:30:45,095 --> 00:30:45,955
deceiving the people.

826
00:30:46,414 --> 00:30:47,985
He's he's he's literally filled with satan. That's

827
00:30:47,985 --> 00:30:49,545
when he desecrates the temple and that's when

828
00:30:49,545 --> 00:30:51,955
everybody is raptured. The problem with that is

829
00:30:57,259 --> 00:31:00,000
we know exactly the day once the tribulation

830
00:31:00,140 --> 00:31:01,820
starts. We know exactly to the day when

831
00:31:01,820 --> 00:31:02,799
that's gonna happen.

832
00:31:03,180 --> 00:31:05,500
It's exactly three and a half years. So

833
00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:06,400
this unexpectedly,

834
00:31:07,820 --> 00:31:09,500
you won't know what's happening. I'm gonna show

835
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:11,820
you some scripture more about this. That can't

836
00:31:11,820 --> 00:31:12,320
apply.

837
00:31:12,674 --> 00:31:14,355
So to me, the mid trib is not

838
00:31:14,355 --> 00:31:15,894
working really on any level.

839
00:31:16,275 --> 00:31:19,154
Okay? And I think the post tribulation rapture

840
00:31:19,154 --> 00:31:20,295
people are confusing,

841
00:31:21,235 --> 00:31:23,634
Jesus' second coming and things like the battle

842
00:31:23,634 --> 00:31:24,215
of Armageddon

843
00:31:24,835 --> 00:31:28,180
with the with Ezekiel 38. I'll explain some

844
00:31:28,180 --> 00:31:28,759
of that.

845
00:31:29,380 --> 00:31:31,220
K. So we will be caught up in

846
00:31:31,220 --> 00:31:32,580
the clouds to meet the Lord in the

847
00:31:32,580 --> 00:31:34,100
air. Then we will be with the Lord

848
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:34,600
forever.

849
00:31:35,140 --> 00:31:37,240
So encourage each other with these words.

850
00:31:37,700 --> 00:31:39,559
Encourage each other. Now,

851
00:31:39,860 --> 00:31:42,019
there was a mindset back when I was

852
00:31:42,019 --> 00:31:42,759
growing up.

853
00:31:43,684 --> 00:31:45,525
Well, it actually began to change around the

854
00:31:45,525 --> 00:31:47,065
late eighties, early nineties.

855
00:31:48,805 --> 00:31:51,285
When the church got this this big push,

856
00:31:51,285 --> 00:31:52,265
it happened for

857
00:31:52,644 --> 00:31:54,904
good well, it's still happening at some level.

858
00:31:55,039 --> 00:31:57,039
But there was this big push that we

859
00:31:57,039 --> 00:31:59,380
don't the church doesn't want to scare anybody

860
00:31:59,919 --> 00:32:01,220
into serving Jesus.

861
00:32:01,599 --> 00:32:04,259
Because when I grew up, nobody worried about.

862
00:32:05,519 --> 00:32:07,759
We didn't mind scaring you to death to

863
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:09,220
get you saved.

864
00:32:09,904 --> 00:32:11,590
The rapture is about to happen right now,

865
00:32:11,590 --> 00:32:13,040
you know. I'm not making this up. I

866
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,345
know different pastors that would literally, while they

867
00:32:15,345 --> 00:32:16,404
were preaching about the rapture,

868
00:32:17,424 --> 00:32:19,424
they would have somebody stand in the back

869
00:32:19,424 --> 00:32:20,964
and blow a horn real loud. Just

870
00:32:24,070 --> 00:32:25,830
Just to get a Oh, Jesus. I just

871
00:32:25,990 --> 00:32:26,650
You know,

872
00:32:27,049 --> 00:32:27,549
that

873
00:32:28,849 --> 00:32:29,349
So

874
00:32:29,750 --> 00:32:31,690
here's my thing with this. Okay, guys?

875
00:32:33,190 --> 00:32:34,809
Let me let me say it this way.

876
00:32:34,950 --> 00:32:37,269
If you have children, take your child. Pick

877
00:32:37,269 --> 00:32:39,004
a child I don't want them to be

878
00:32:39,004 --> 00:32:39,124
scared or have their feelings hurt. I'm not

879
00:32:39,124 --> 00:32:39,284
willing for that to happen to get them

880
00:32:39,284 --> 00:32:39,784
to

881
00:32:41,444 --> 00:32:41,944
heaven.

882
00:32:51,660 --> 00:32:53,180
A major contribution to me standing here right

883
00:32:53,180 --> 00:32:55,559
now is repenting many times over the years

884
00:32:55,606 --> 00:32:57,480
because I thought the rapture was about to

885
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:58,640
take place. The idea

886
00:33:03,180 --> 00:33:04,799
Do you know Paul,

887
00:33:07,454 --> 00:33:07,954
rapture

888
00:33:08,335 --> 00:33:09,270
was about to take place. The idea Do

889
00:33:09,270 --> 00:33:10,501
you know Paul thought the rapture was gonna

890
00:33:10,501 --> 00:33:10,944
take place during his time frame? Do you

891
00:33:10,944 --> 00:33:12,255
know every generation is supposed to think that

892
00:33:12,255 --> 00:33:13,934
way? Every single generation is supposed to think

893
00:33:13,934 --> 00:33:16,595
the rapture is gonna happen in my lifetime.

894
00:33:22,230 --> 00:33:24,069
This is part of the reason that the

895
00:33:24,069 --> 00:33:26,569
that the that the pre tribulation

896
00:33:27,029 --> 00:33:29,769
rapture makes so much sense in this arena

897
00:33:30,150 --> 00:33:31,829
is when people say to me, I don't

898
00:33:31,829 --> 00:33:34,970
believe in a pre tribulation rapture because even

899
00:33:35,029 --> 00:33:36,710
Paul thought it was going to happen in

900
00:33:36,710 --> 00:33:37,450
his lifetime.

901
00:33:38,875 --> 00:33:40,974
Do you realize those are opposite mindsets?

902
00:33:42,075 --> 00:33:43,835
If Paul thought it was gonna happen in

903
00:33:43,835 --> 00:33:44,734
his lifetime,

904
00:33:45,194 --> 00:33:46,015
but the tribulation

905
00:33:46,394 --> 00:33:49,194
had not happened and and Israel had not

906
00:33:49,194 --> 00:33:51,375
fallen to become a nation again,

907
00:33:51,769 --> 00:33:54,169
meaning in 78, Israel fell, but had not

908
00:33:54,169 --> 00:33:56,490
become a nation again, then how are those

909
00:33:56,490 --> 00:33:58,329
things supposed to be fulfilled for Paul to

910
00:33:58,329 --> 00:34:00,190
believe it was gonna happen in his lifetime?

911
00:34:01,049 --> 00:34:02,730
The reason Paul thought it was gonna happen

912
00:34:02,730 --> 00:34:04,809
in his lifetime is because the rapture was

913
00:34:04,809 --> 00:34:07,525
gonna happen before those other things happened. But

914
00:34:07,525 --> 00:34:09,525
the rapture was going to happen. And he

915
00:34:09,525 --> 00:34:10,717
thought this very strongly. You can see in

916
00:34:10,717 --> 00:34:12,105
scripture. Okay? Zechariah chapter 14 verse 4.

917
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,260
On that day,

918
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,559
his feet will stand on the Mount of

919
00:34:24,559 --> 00:34:26,400
Olives, East of Jerusalem. And the Mount of

920
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,880
Olives will split apart making a wide valley

921
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,039
running from east to west. Half the mountain

922
00:34:31,039 --> 00:34:33,184
will move toward the north and half toward

923
00:34:33,184 --> 00:34:35,425
the south. Guys, this is the second coming

924
00:34:35,425 --> 00:34:37,505
of Jesus and he is not waiting in

925
00:34:37,505 --> 00:34:39,744
the clouds. He comes and plants his feet

926
00:34:39,744 --> 00:34:42,005
on the earth and the mountain splits apart.

927
00:34:42,144 --> 00:34:44,144
And then we see where the right after

928
00:34:44,144 --> 00:34:46,340
this is where the millennial reign starts. There

929
00:34:46,340 --> 00:34:48,099
is no place that the Lord meets us

930
00:34:48,099 --> 00:34:50,099
in the air, takes a cigar, gives us

931
00:34:50,099 --> 00:34:51,780
our new bodies. None of those things are

932
00:34:51,780 --> 00:34:52,920
happening at this point.

933
00:34:53,539 --> 00:34:55,719
Those things have already happened.

934
00:34:57,380 --> 00:34:57,880
Okay?

935
00:34:58,724 --> 00:35:01,765
And first Thessalonians 5 also talks about the

936
00:35:01,765 --> 00:35:04,164
fact that whatever is holding the Antichrist back

937
00:35:04,164 --> 00:35:05,625
from taking over the earth

938
00:35:06,244 --> 00:35:08,244
is gonna be taken away. Guys, that's the

939
00:35:08,244 --> 00:35:08,744
church.

940
00:35:09,364 --> 00:35:11,285
In fact, somebody mentioned to me after, first

941
00:35:11,285 --> 00:35:12,819
serve I think it was cookie. Mentioned to

942
00:35:12,819 --> 00:35:15,619
me after first service, if the there's no

943
00:35:15,619 --> 00:35:17,299
way because you've heard me say this stuff.

944
00:35:17,299 --> 00:35:18,819
There's no way they're we're having an election.

945
00:35:18,819 --> 00:35:20,119
There's no way they're gonna let,

946
00:35:20,739 --> 00:35:22,739
even if we have an election, Trump's not

947
00:35:22,739 --> 00:35:24,500
gonna be allowed into the White House as

948
00:35:24,500 --> 00:35:26,659
the president. Here's something most people are not

949
00:35:26,659 --> 00:35:27,159
processing.

950
00:35:27,704 --> 00:35:29,864
The vice president is the one who ratifies

951
00:35:29,864 --> 00:35:30,525
the election.

952
00:35:34,105 --> 00:35:35,644
Process that for a second.

953
00:35:36,344 --> 00:35:38,125
She's the one running for president,

954
00:35:38,425 --> 00:35:40,364
but she ratifies the election.

955
00:35:40,744 --> 00:35:42,344
They're not letting that man in the White

956
00:35:42,344 --> 00:35:43,619
House. They are

957
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,760
not. If they don't kill him first, they're

958
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,480
not. And and Cookie said, well if the

959
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,500
whole church raptures this October,

960
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:53,619
she will win the election.

961
00:35:55,614 --> 00:35:57,454
That's legit right there. You should write that

962
00:35:57,454 --> 00:35:57,954
down.

963
00:36:01,535 --> 00:36:03,474
Jesus is coming and that's Kamala's.

964
00:36:03,855 --> 00:36:05,795
That that should be her platform, right?

965
00:36:06,494 --> 00:36:08,095
None of the Christians will be here. I'm

966
00:36:08,095 --> 00:36:09,635
winning. Alright. So

967
00:36:09,980 --> 00:36:11,307
same thing as the rapture. It is total

968
00:36:11,307 --> 00:36:12,299
different language. It's no one knows the day

969
00:36:12,299 --> 00:36:13,980
of their hour, but we know exactly when

970
00:36:13,980 --> 00:36:15,760
the second coming is going to

971
00:36:16,299 --> 00:36:18,139
happen. Once the tribulation starts, we know the

972
00:36:18,139 --> 00:36:18,639
day.

973
00:36:23,775 --> 00:36:24,275
Unexpected.

974
00:36:24,815 --> 00:36:25,855
Now, you explain to me how we've been

975
00:36:25,855 --> 00:36:26,514
living in the tribulation for 7 years, and

976
00:36:26,514 --> 00:36:28,434
it's unexpected. Are you

977
00:36:40,460 --> 00:36:41,679
Are you following me?

978
00:36:42,539 --> 00:36:45,260
Okay. And here's here's another big one. Let's

979
00:36:45,260 --> 00:36:46,559
let's go to this one.

980
00:36:46,940 --> 00:36:50,539
Okay. Matthew chapter 24 verse 30. And then

981
00:36:50,539 --> 00:36:51,359
at the last

982
00:36:51,804 --> 00:36:53,244
and then at last the sign of the

983
00:36:53,244 --> 00:36:54,765
Son of Man is coming will appear in

984
00:36:54,765 --> 00:36:56,445
the heavens. Now why is God tell us

985
00:36:56,445 --> 00:36:58,204
this stuff unless he wants us to study

986
00:36:58,204 --> 00:36:59,644
it? Try to figure it out. I don't

987
00:36:59,644 --> 00:37:01,244
think you're gonna get all the details. I

988
00:37:01,244 --> 00:37:03,724
don't think we're gonna, totally understand this until

989
00:37:03,724 --> 00:37:06,059
it's happening. Like the day the tribulation starts,

990
00:37:06,059 --> 00:37:08,059
we're gonna know that. If you're still here,

991
00:37:08,059 --> 00:37:09,500
I won't be with you. But if you're

992
00:37:09,500 --> 00:37:10,239
still here,

993
00:37:10,699 --> 00:37:11,920
you're gonna know because,

994
00:37:12,619 --> 00:37:14,779
Israel signs the peace treaty. You know the

995
00:37:14,779 --> 00:37:17,039
exact day the tribulation is gonna start.

996
00:37:17,579 --> 00:37:19,920
There's not gonna be any question on this.

997
00:37:20,264 --> 00:37:23,100
3a half and 3a half. There's no doubt

998
00:37:23,100 --> 00:37:25,086
about that. So we'll know exactly when the

999
00:37:25,086 --> 00:37:25,545
tribulation starts because he tells us it starts

1000
00:37:25,545 --> 00:37:28,284
with the signing of the peace treaty.

1001
00:37:36,639 --> 00:37:38,960
Sometime before that, the rapture is gonna take

1002
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,179
place. Look at this.

1003
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,280
The son of man of coming will appear

1004
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,119
in the heavens and there will be deep

1005
00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:46,880
mourning among all the peoples of the earth.

1006
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,400
And they will see the son of man

1007
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,505
coming on the clouds of heaven with great

1008
00:37:50,824 --> 00:37:52,664
with power and great glory. And he will

1009
00:37:52,664 --> 00:37:54,125
send out his angels

1010
00:37:55,304 --> 00:37:57,384
with a mighty blast of a trumpet and

1011
00:37:57,384 --> 00:37:59,384
they will gather his chosen ones from all

1012
00:37:59,384 --> 00:38:01,625
over the world. Where is Jesus at this

1013
00:38:01,625 --> 00:38:02,125
time?

1014
00:38:02,505 --> 00:38:03,804
The clouds of heaven.

1015
00:38:07,219 --> 00:38:09,300
That's second coming. He is in the clouds

1016
00:38:09,300 --> 00:38:11,460
of heaven. He sends out the angels to

1017
00:38:11,460 --> 00:38:14,099
gather everybody. That's called the rapture from the

1018
00:38:14,099 --> 00:38:16,920
farthest ends of heaven and earth. Verse 36,

1019
00:38:17,139 --> 00:38:17,228
this is this is amazing, cool this is

1020
00:38:17,228 --> 00:38:17,380
this is amazing, cool this is this is

1021
00:38:17,380 --> 00:38:17,880
key.

1022
00:38:26,454 --> 00:38:28,135
Right. You're not going to know the exact

1023
00:38:28,135 --> 00:38:29,815
day of the rapture. You're going to know

1024
00:38:29,815 --> 00:38:31,494
a time frame. You're going to He's saying,

1025
00:38:31,494 --> 00:38:33,410
look at all this stuff. Like when Jesus

1026
00:38:33,410 --> 00:38:33,809
says the

1027
00:38:35,170 --> 00:38:36,869
I think Cookie sends it to me.

1028
00:38:37,170 --> 00:38:37,670
If

1029
00:38:37,970 --> 00:38:39,650
you see the this is for sailors, and

1030
00:38:39,650 --> 00:38:41,269
I was one, but I forgot this.

1031
00:38:42,610 --> 00:38:44,450
If you see the red sky at night,

1032
00:38:44,450 --> 00:38:46,130
there's a storm coming. You know, when Jesus

1033
00:38:46,130 --> 00:38:47,994
says that, right? He says, this is how

1034
00:38:47,994 --> 00:38:49,755
you're going to know end time stuff. Pay

1035
00:38:49,755 --> 00:38:52,815
attention because I am giving you signs to

1036
00:38:52,875 --> 00:38:53,375
know.

1037
00:38:53,914 --> 00:38:55,534
Study this to know,

1038
00:38:56,074 --> 00:38:57,514
but you're not going to know the day

1039
00:38:57,514 --> 00:38:58,655
or the hour. Okay?

1040
00:38:59,594 --> 00:39:01,375
Now, here's here's important.

1041
00:39:02,550 --> 00:39:04,630
When the son of man returns, it will

1042
00:39:04,630 --> 00:39:06,809
be like it was in Noah's day.

1043
00:39:07,269 --> 00:39:09,750
In those days before the flood, people were

1044
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:11,450
enjoying banquets and parties

1045
00:39:11,829 --> 00:39:13,750
and weddings right up to the time Noah

1046
00:39:13,750 --> 00:39:14,809
entered his boat.

1047
00:39:16,864 --> 00:39:17,925
Now, here's a

1048
00:39:19,025 --> 00:39:19,525
thing.

1049
00:39:19,905 --> 00:39:22,885
If the rapture does not happen until after

1050
00:39:23,664 --> 00:39:24,405
the tribulation,

1051
00:39:25,905 --> 00:39:27,284
does that mean the tribulation

1052
00:39:27,585 --> 00:39:30,244
is enjoying banquets and parties and weddings?

1053
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,780
Think about what I'm saying.

1054
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,880
That's not the tribulation I read about in

1055
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:38,780
the bible. We're

1056
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,679
just living life as normal. That's part of

1057
00:39:42,679 --> 00:39:44,199
the reason it's saying that. We're just going

1058
00:39:44,199 --> 00:39:47,005
through life as normal. Everything's okay. Everything is

1059
00:39:47,005 --> 00:39:49,244
good. And people are not aware that the

1060
00:39:49,244 --> 00:39:50,784
end is about to happen.

1061
00:39:51,164 --> 00:39:52,704
That is not the tribulation.

1062
00:39:53,724 --> 00:39:55,585
That is before the tribulation.

1063
00:39:56,445 --> 00:39:58,989
Once the church is raptured, it starts all

1064
00:39:58,989 --> 00:40:00,670
this other stuff, the signing of the peace

1065
00:40:00,670 --> 00:40:03,309
treaty, all these other things. And that is

1066
00:40:03,309 --> 00:40:05,950
the tribulation. And there is nobody that's not

1067
00:40:05,950 --> 00:40:07,250
going to know we're in the tribulation

1068
00:40:07,550 --> 00:40:10,190
because it gets very, very bad. It is

1069
00:40:10,190 --> 00:40:12,590
not hanging out as life as usual and

1070
00:40:12,590 --> 00:40:14,105
having parties. Happen

1071
00:40:14,804 --> 00:40:15,988
till after the tribulation, what do you do

1072
00:40:15,988 --> 00:40:16,275
with all these scriptures? What do you do

1073
00:40:16,275 --> 00:40:17,925
with this one specifically? People didn't realize what

1074
00:40:17,925 --> 00:40:19,445
was going to happen until the flood came

1075
00:40:19,445 --> 00:40:20,984
and swept them all away.

1076
00:40:29,119 --> 00:40:30,719
People are not going to realize what is

1077
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,500
happening until the rapture happens.

1078
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:34,739
And then they're gonna know

1079
00:40:35,039 --> 00:40:36,800
the stuff that's going on. And that is

1080
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,480
what it would be when the son of

1081
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:38,719
man

1082
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,519
Now, I'm some time lines. I really

1083
00:40:51,335 --> 00:40:53,094
they all come up to the borders of

1084
00:40:53,094 --> 00:40:55,299
Israel and they're all threatening Israel. I keep

1085
00:40:55,299 --> 00:40:57,139
having people ask is is what's happening in

1086
00:40:57,139 --> 00:40:59,299
the Middle East right now Ezekiel 38? No.

1087
00:40:59,299 --> 00:41:00,980
It can't be because all of these people

1088
00:41:00,980 --> 00:41:02,819
are not come to the borders. Israel is

1089
00:41:02,819 --> 00:41:05,400
actually going and chasing Hamas and Hezbollah

1090
00:41:05,699 --> 00:41:08,760
into these countries. K? 2 total different stories.

1091
00:41:09,885 --> 00:41:11,885
Now, when all these countries come up, it

1092
00:41:11,885 --> 00:41:14,385
says that that that literally it's,

1093
00:41:15,005 --> 00:41:16,605
the way we see it described, it's got

1094
00:41:16,605 --> 00:41:18,605
to be millions of people that are coming

1095
00:41:18,605 --> 00:41:21,265
up from all these Arab countries and surrounding

1096
00:41:21,324 --> 00:41:23,860
Israel and about to attack Israel and God

1097
00:41:23,860 --> 00:41:26,840
destroys all of their armies and their military

1098
00:41:26,900 --> 00:41:27,400
leaders.

1099
00:41:28,260 --> 00:41:30,179
Israelites don't pick up a sword. They don't

1100
00:41:30,179 --> 00:41:32,119
do anything. God destroys them all.

1101
00:41:34,355 --> 00:41:37,474
That has not happened yet. But even with

1102
00:41:37,474 --> 00:41:38,454
everything that,

1103
00:41:38,914 --> 00:41:40,994
Turkey is doing right now, these countries are

1104
00:41:40,994 --> 00:41:41,815
setting up.

1105
00:41:42,194 --> 00:41:43,875
These countries are setting up. I do think

1106
00:41:43,875 --> 00:41:44,614
it's interesting

1107
00:41:44,994 --> 00:41:47,474
that the border between Gaza and Egypt right

1108
00:41:47,474 --> 00:41:48,934
now, the Philadelphia Corridor,

1109
00:41:50,349 --> 00:41:52,589
They're trying to make an agreement that maybe,

1110
00:41:52,909 --> 00:41:53,809
some of the

1111
00:41:54,589 --> 00:41:56,369
the soldiers of Saudi Arabia

1112
00:41:56,829 --> 00:41:59,250
may be policing that border instead because

1113
00:41:59,710 --> 00:42:01,570
Egypt actually has a pretty decent

1114
00:42:01,949 --> 00:42:02,449
alliance

1115
00:42:02,909 --> 00:42:05,570
with our friendship with Israel right now.

1116
00:42:06,635 --> 00:42:08,315
Not part of the group of all of

1117
00:42:08,315 --> 00:42:08,421
the countries around Israel that fight in Ezekiel

1118
00:42:08,421 --> 00:42:09,994
38. They're the only country that doesn't. K?

1119
00:42:09,994 --> 00:42:12,474
Now, why am I saying all this? I

1120
00:42:12,474 --> 00:42:12,974
think

1121
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:19,940
actually is all the

1122
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:20,893
countries come up to Israel, God kills all

1123
00:42:20,893 --> 00:42:21,308
of those soldiers and raptures the church in

1124
00:42:21,308 --> 00:42:22,420
the same day.

1125
00:42:32,954 --> 00:42:33,454
Deep

1126
00:42:34,555 --> 00:42:35,141
that God sent wild animals to eat them

1127
00:42:35,141 --> 00:42:36,015
or they would have been there

1128
00:42:47,500 --> 00:42:49,739
even longer than the many months that it

1129
00:42:49,739 --> 00:42:50,880
describes in scripture.

1130
00:42:51,579 --> 00:42:53,180
And then you have the whole world. And

1131
00:42:53,180 --> 00:42:54,719
this has always been the philosophy.

1132
00:42:55,099 --> 00:42:56,700
This is the normal thinking. Is the whole

1133
00:42:56,700 --> 00:42:59,739
world signs a peace treaty with Israel because

1134
00:42:59,900 --> 00:43:02,065
and this is the normal narrative. Is the

1135
00:43:02,065 --> 00:43:05,265
whole world is against Israel and Israel is

1136
00:43:05,265 --> 00:43:07,025
in a place of weakness. Guys, I don't

1137
00:43:07,025 --> 00:43:08,545
believe that. I've been saying this for the

1138
00:43:08,545 --> 00:43:10,304
last couple years. I don't think Israel will

1139
00:43:10,304 --> 00:43:12,704
be in a place of weakness. Why? Because

1140
00:43:12,704 --> 00:43:15,525
I think Ezekiel 38 happens before the tribulation.

1141
00:43:16,019 --> 00:43:18,420
Wiped out, and God sends animals to eat

1142
00:43:18,420 --> 00:43:19,219
them. They all of these,

1143
00:43:20,019 --> 00:43:23,059
Muslim countries, these Arab countries don't have military

1144
00:43:23,059 --> 00:43:23,880
anymore. Who's

1145
00:43:24,340 --> 00:43:25,079
in the driver's

1146
00:43:25,460 --> 00:43:25,960
seat?

1147
00:43:31,514 --> 00:43:33,454
Come to the table and say,

1148
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:45,739
moment. So

1149
00:43:46,679 --> 00:43:46,980
they come to Israel and say, we'd like

1150
00:43:46,980 --> 00:43:47,460
to make a peace treaty. And Israel, being

1151
00:43:47,460 --> 00:43:48,699
who Israel is, will make the peace

1152
00:43:49,159 --> 00:43:49,900
treaty with

1153
00:43:59,795 --> 00:44:00,755
Israel they

1154
00:44:01,394 --> 00:44:02,684
Egypt attacked and Syria attacked and e and

1155
00:44:02,684 --> 00:44:04,035
Israel went into, into Egypt and they could

1156
00:44:04,035 --> 00:44:05,954
have destroyed Egypt on that day. They could

1157
00:44:05,954 --> 00:44:08,434
have marched straight into Cairo. Look at your

1158
00:44:08,434 --> 00:44:09,175
history books.

1159
00:44:13,260 --> 00:44:14,940
They could have gone straight into Cairo and

1160
00:44:14,940 --> 00:44:17,739
taken Cairo out and destroyed Egypt, but they

1161
00:44:17,739 --> 00:44:18,239
didn't.

1162
00:44:18,860 --> 00:44:20,780
America was putting pressure on them and so

1163
00:44:20,780 --> 00:44:22,800
they backed off and Egypt,

1164
00:44:23,739 --> 00:44:25,260
and by the way, that's the last time

1165
00:44:25,260 --> 00:44:27,360
Egypt has really gone after Israel.

1166
00:44:28,529 --> 00:44:30,436
We're gonna we're we're sorry Israel. Let's sign

1167
00:44:30,436 --> 00:44:30,885
this peace treaty. I believe Israel says, yes.

1168
00:44:31,204 --> 00:44:33,045
Let's sign the peace treaty and we're gonna

1169
00:44:33,045 --> 00:44:34,264
be rebuilding our temple.

1170
00:44:34,724 --> 00:44:35,224
Okay?

1171
00:44:39,780 --> 00:44:40,820
So you're going to need to move the

1172
00:44:40,820 --> 00:44:41,719
Dome of the Rock

1173
00:44:42,420 --> 00:44:44,760
because that's where we're going to build it.

1174
00:44:46,019 --> 00:44:47,640
Who's going to stop them?

1175
00:44:48,739 --> 00:44:50,660
Right now, you've got all these armies going

1176
00:44:50,660 --> 00:44:52,605
to stop them. Dedicate the temple. That's the

1177
00:44:52,605 --> 00:44:54,113
three and a half year mark. He's filled

1178
00:44:54,113 --> 00:44:55,025
with Satan and he desecrates the temple.

1179
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:07,965
This? Guys, anytime we study this stuff, it

1180
00:45:07,965 --> 00:45:09,119
should bring you to one conclusion. Remember theme

1181
00:45:09,119 --> 00:45:11,119
of the old testament, Jesus is coming. Theme

1182
00:45:11,119 --> 00:45:13,359
of the new testament, Jesus is coming again.

1183
00:45:13,359 --> 00:45:14,880
As Jesus is coming and the church needs

1184
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:16,019
to take this very seriously.

1185
00:45:22,155 --> 00:45:24,235
The church needs to take the rapture very

1186
00:45:24,235 --> 00:45:24,735
seriously.

1187
00:45:25,914 --> 00:45:29,454
Anytime but except the pre tribulation rapture, everybody

1188
00:45:29,515 --> 00:45:31,755
knows. So if we don't get raptured and

1189
00:45:31,755 --> 00:45:34,199
the tribulation starts, everybody on the planet knows.

1190
00:45:34,679 --> 00:45:36,219
Okay. Now we gotta get serious.

1191
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:38,839
That's not what the days of Noah mentality

1192
00:45:38,839 --> 00:45:40,440
is. It says, you better be serious ahead

1193
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,119
of time. The the 10 virgins, you better

1194
00:45:42,119 --> 00:45:44,519
have your your lamps ready to go ahead

1195
00:45:44,519 --> 00:45:45,099
of time.

1196
00:45:46,295 --> 00:45:47,974
I think that there are people that are

1197
00:45:47,974 --> 00:45:49,894
waiting because they've been taught mid or post

1198
00:45:49,894 --> 00:45:51,755
trib. I think they're waiting for the tribulation

1199
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,175
to start because I don't have to serve

1200
00:45:53,175 --> 00:45:54,315
Jesus until then.

1201
00:45:55,974 --> 00:45:57,195
Think about that one.

1202
00:45:58,135 --> 00:45:59,815
All right. That's also why he says you'll

1203
00:45:59,815 --> 00:46:01,820
never know the day or the hour. I

1204
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:12,460
planned that.

1205
00:46:15,965 --> 00:46:16,704
I planned

1206
00:46:19,644 --> 00:46:20,144
that.

1207
00:46:21,101 --> 00:46:21,601
So

1208
00:46:22,557 --> 00:46:23,057
I'm

1209
00:46:24,012 --> 00:46:24,512
gonna

1210
00:46:26,925 --> 00:46:27,664
So guys,

1211
00:46:27,965 --> 00:46:29,664
here's here's the reality.

1212
00:46:30,300 --> 00:46:31,834
When? Right now. Somebody asked me, a few

1213
00:46:31,834 --> 00:46:32,960
months back, do you think that,

1214
00:46:34,059 --> 00:46:35,039
with everything happening,

1215
00:46:37,099 --> 00:46:37,840
the rapture

1216
00:46:38,140 --> 00:46:39,519
might actually take place this year?

1217
00:46:45,695 --> 00:46:47,135
I do believe it's gonna be before the

1218
00:46:47,135 --> 00:46:49,235
80 years is up. I do believe that.

1219
00:46:49,934 --> 00:46:51,454
I said, do you believe it'll take place

1220
00:46:51,454 --> 00:46:53,135
this year? Guys, for the first time in

1221
00:46:53,135 --> 00:46:56,114
my whole life, I've literally thought with everything

1222
00:46:56,255 --> 00:46:58,414
setting up the way that it is, this

1223
00:46:58,414 --> 00:46:59,760
actually could be the year.

1224
00:47:00,639 --> 00:47:02,159
But, yeah, I mean, that's not bad. Remember,

1225
00:47:02,159 --> 00:47:04,019
it says encourage each other with this.

1226
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:05,699
Encourage each other.

1227
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,159
But I I really believe that is a

1228
00:47:08,159 --> 00:47:10,079
doable thing. And and and you've never heard

1229
00:47:10,079 --> 00:47:11,519
me say that before. I always say it's

1230
00:47:11,519 --> 00:47:13,059
gonna be this time of year,

1231
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,224
but I don't know what. But for the

1232
00:47:15,224 --> 00:47:17,944
first time, I'm feeling like we're we're in

1233
00:47:17,944 --> 00:47:19,804
the we're in the downslide here.

1234
00:47:20,984 --> 00:47:23,304
And so I'm not saying that to scare

1235
00:47:23,304 --> 00:47:25,565
you, although if that happens, that's good too.

1236
00:47:26,025 --> 00:47:28,025
But here's the reason I'm saying it. It's

1237
00:47:28,025 --> 00:47:30,059
not even necessarily for all of us, but

1238
00:47:30,059 --> 00:47:31,279
we're gonna start here,

1239
00:47:32,380 --> 00:47:34,219
is to say, Jesus, we need you to

1240
00:47:34,219 --> 00:47:36,059
be our savior. That's the point. If you

1241
00:47:36,059 --> 00:47:37,279
study all this stuff

1242
00:47:37,579 --> 00:47:39,339
ad nauseam and you don't arrive at the

1243
00:47:39,339 --> 00:47:41,199
conclusion that you need Jesus

1244
00:47:41,525 --> 00:47:45,204
in your life controlling everything, protecting you, covering

1245
00:47:45,204 --> 00:47:47,065
you, you've missed the whole point.

1246
00:47:48,324 --> 00:47:49,785
That's the reason for this.

1247
00:47:50,324 --> 00:47:51,844
So what I'd like to do this morning

1248
00:47:51,844 --> 00:47:53,224
is I like us to pray.

1249
00:47:53,605 --> 00:47:54,905
I'd like us to get saved.

1250
00:47:55,844 --> 00:47:56,344
K?

1251
00:47:57,019 --> 00:47:58,699
I'd like us to to pray our sinners

1252
00:47:58,699 --> 00:47:59,519
prayer together.

1253
00:48:00,059 --> 00:48:01,519
So I'm already a Christian.

1254
00:48:02,139 --> 00:48:03,739
I guess you could just keep your mouth

1255
00:48:03,739 --> 00:48:04,880
shut then and don't.

1256
00:48:06,380 --> 00:48:08,079
I wouldn't think that's a good idea.

1257
00:48:09,664 --> 00:48:11,505
But let's just pray together and just ask

1258
00:48:11,505 --> 00:48:13,585
Jesus to be our God. Doesn't that make

1259
00:48:13,585 --> 00:48:14,085
sense?

1260
00:48:14,704 --> 00:48:16,885
Shouldn't these things propel us toward this?

1261
00:48:17,824 --> 00:48:19,664
Right? So repeat this with me if you'd

1262
00:48:19,664 --> 00:48:22,144
like to and let's just let's just pray.

1263
00:48:22,144 --> 00:48:22,965
Lord God,

1264
00:48:23,585 --> 00:48:24,510
we need you.

1265
00:48:25,389 --> 00:48:28,658
I need you as my savior as my

1266
00:48:28,658 --> 00:48:30,349
savior. I ask you to cover me with

1267
00:48:30,349 --> 00:48:31,329
the blood of Jesus

1268
00:48:33,309 --> 00:48:34,690
and make me right with you.

1269
00:48:35,789 --> 00:48:37,809
Forgive me of anything I've ever done

1270
00:48:39,094 --> 00:48:40,635
that's not pleasing to you.

1271
00:48:41,335 --> 00:48:42,855
