I will tell you as I am doing 31 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: this Bible study. We just finished Birmingham, God just continues 32 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: to teach us and to grow us. I've had men 33 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: that have attended all of the conferences that we have 34 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: done up to this one, and they said it was, 35 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: from beginning to end, the best one that we've ever done. 36 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: It was the messages. They were all really powerful. From 37 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: the speakers. There was a spirit in the room. This 38 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: is when you know that the conference is going well. 39 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: On the Saturday morning, the final sessions of the weekend, 40 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: we had seen so much power in Friday night and 41 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: so many men repent and decide to follow Jesus and 42 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: others that were, you know, correcting things and growing. This 43 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: is when you know that it's good. I get up 44 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: and I'm on the way to the venue that hosted us, 45 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: and I get a text from the team find an 46 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: alternate route. You will not believe this. There is a 47 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: major car crash. Of all the places on I sixty five, 48 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: the car crash was right at the exit where you 49 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: exit to go to the venue. And I thought, well, 50 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: today's going to be something. So we prayed for the 51 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: people involved in the crash. It was a bad crash. 52 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: We had men it in traffic for over an hour, 53 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: uh and we delayed the beginning. And so there were 54 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: two things going on there. If you want to see 55 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: God in all this, there's obviously, you know, an attack 56 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: from from the darkness on on on God's movement, especially 57 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: with men. But there's all there's also something else which 58 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: we'll see today. God completely in control. You know what 59 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: else was going on? God asking men in traffic a question, 60 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: are you willing to sit here as long as you 61 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: need to and still go to the conference? Are you 62 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: going to bail on me? So they were they were 63 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: there were two things in play, and I'm glad to 64 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: say that all the men passed the test and all 65 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: of them came onto the conference after what I know 66 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: was a frustrating morning, and we delayed it and we 67 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: saw God just move in an incredible way again. So 68 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: some of the emails I'm getting from men saying it 69 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: was it was one of the most powerful weekends they've 70 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: they've ever experienced. So if you didn't get to come, 71 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: we still have two more opportunities coming uh in Panama 72 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: City in Atlanta, and we hope they'll join us by 73 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: going to the Manchurch dot com. Let's open in a 74 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: word of prayer. We will be and Daniel eleven we're 75 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: almost done. Daniel eleven will be starting in verse thirty 76 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: six and we'll finish chapter eleven today. Lord, thank you 77 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,239 Speaker 1: for today. Thank you for what we saw last week 78 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: in Birmingham, Alabama. We saw much made of you, and 79 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: finally not a whole lot made of us, as your 80 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: majesty and your glory and your power was on full display. 81 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: You and you alone are worthy of our worship. And 82 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: just the sound of men singing praises to the one 83 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: and only Living God is a sound that is not 84 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: quite like anything else. And thank you today as we 85 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: unpack your holy word here in the room, and men 86 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: and women all over the country and around the world, 87 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: may you move in each individual person the takeaway today, 88 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: including me. We pray Amen. All right, So let's take 89 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: a look. So now Daniel is seeing the future. We 90 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: know this is a very long chapter of prophecy. That's 91 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: all it is is prophecy, prophecy, prophecy. So up to 92 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: this point we've seen for us where we are in time. 93 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: We see things that have already happened. But we're about 94 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: to see things that have not happened yet. And this 95 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: was part of what really troubled Daniel. He already saw 96 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: which really bothered him, that his people were in for 97 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: a lot of suffering, that God was going to refine 98 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: his people and frankly punish his people for their ongoing disobedience. 99 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: And he always used other nations and all kinds of 100 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: pestilence to get them to come back to him and repent, 101 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: and and Daniel has seen that that's gonna happen again. 102 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: But then there comes the final refinement of his people. 103 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: And that's when we get down to the end times, 104 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: when God's final push on the Hebrews and all who 105 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: have rejected him through allowing Satan to create the Antichrist 106 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: and the false prophet, and it really gets real ugly. 107 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: But the beautiful thing is God is in control of 108 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: all of it. And we talked about that a little 109 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: bit last week, but we'll see that on display again 110 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: this week, beginning in verse thirty six through thirty eight. 111 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: And what you're going to see here this is the 112 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: coming of Antichrist. This is the Antichrist that Daniel sees. Now, 113 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: if you were in our revelation study, we reference this 114 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: a lot because some of the things we're going to 115 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: talk about today are exactly what John saw. I mean, 116 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: not a little bit like it, exactly like it. So 117 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: for some of us you're going to say, yeah, I 118 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: remember us talking about that, But I want you to 119 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: see that not not only John saw the future, we 120 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: see Daniel seeing it even further back. So anti Christ 121 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: is going to come on the scene. And Daniel is 122 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: told about this in verse thirty six. And the King 123 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: shall do as he wills. He shall exalt himself and 124 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: magnify himself above every God, and shall speak astonishing things 125 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: against the God of gods. He shall prosper till the 126 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: ignodination is accomplished. Now when I want to talk you 127 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: about who God is indignant with, and it may surprise you, 128 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: for what is decreed shall be done. He shall pay 129 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: no attention to the gods of his fathers or to 130 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: the one beloved by women. He shall not pay attention 131 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: to any other god, for he shall magnify himself above all. 132 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: He shall honor the God of fortresses instead of these, 133 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: a god whom his fathers did not know. He shall 134 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: honor with gold and silver, with precious stone and costly gifts. So, 135 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: first of all, we're going to look at his blasphemies, 136 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: and we'll start with that in thirty six. Royal pride 137 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: will be part of this. The King or Antichrist. We 138 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: remember what we said about Antichus, the god. We said 139 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: he was a type of Antichrist. He was a foreshadow 140 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: of this. He too elevated himself to be worshiped, if 141 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: you remember last week. But this is a foreshadowing to 142 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:37,479 Speaker 1: the real Antichrist that we will see. And look, Anticus 143 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: is just a shadow. Now the Antichrist appears as himself, 144 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: all his pride and all his arrogance. And because it 145 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: will be the rise and when I say this, I 146 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: know there's some disagreement out there. Has the Roman Empire 147 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: really ever fully gone away? Well, everything it needs to 148 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: im back has not gone away. But they certainly are 149 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: not a superpower right now. But what you'll see here 150 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: is Anti Christ will be from the things we know 151 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: about the Romans, he will be, for lack of a 152 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: better term, the final Caesar. He will be. He's gonna 153 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: take over more than just the Roman Empire, but he 154 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: is going to rise up as the Roman Empire again. 155 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: And if you want to get a little more about that, 156 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 1: if you go to Second Thessalonians, Paul talks about this 157 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: quite a bit, and he's called the man of Sin, 158 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: he's called the son of tradition Revelation thirteen. Remember our study, 159 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: the Beast of the Sea, the Lord of the West, 160 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: the head of the revived Roman Empire. We've talked about this. 161 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: He will be incredibly gifted. He will be. That's the 162 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: reason why a lot of times when people will say 163 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: something to me, like you think so and so is 164 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: Anti Christ, and I will literally say this, I think 165 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: you're giving them too much credit. Uh uh. This person 166 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: is not going to be mildly brilliant and mildly attractive 167 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: and a pretty good orator. It's gonna be the best 168 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: the world has ever seen. I haven't seen that person yet. Okay. 169 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: I see some people that you go with. They got 170 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: a lot of power, but they're not fooling me. Uh 171 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: and and and and they don't seem to fool too 172 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 1: many people. But this is going to be a person 173 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: like we have never seen before. Uh, gifted, brilliant. But 174 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: you know the thing you always see. Remember we talked 175 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: about Antichus the god, and throughout time, all of these 176 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: type of anti Christ you always see the same thing there. 177 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: There is a brilliance to them, but there's also a 178 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: cruel a cruelty to them. Uh. They literally seem to 179 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: have no conscience. Uh. And they will kill and destroy 180 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: whomever they have to do. Just I mean with that, 181 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: with that, you remember ever see Hannibal, Remember that Hannibal Lecter 182 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: that uh uh, that that character. And he said that 183 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: when he actually ate somebody, that his pulse never even 184 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: went up. You know, it was like it was just 185 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: another day for him. Him killing somebody will be like us, 186 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: you know, throwing trash out. It meant nothing to them. 187 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: And and so you see that in all of these 188 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: type of anti Christ, and you will absolutely see that 189 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: in the anti Christ. Uh he he will be faithless. 190 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: Uh he will, he will blaspheme God. Uh he will 191 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: elevate himself. He will also have his evil twin the 192 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: false prophet. So in his arrogance and pride, the anti 193 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: Christ will will become fully in control of the West. 194 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: He will exalt himself, he will magnify himself against every God. 195 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: Now don't miss this. He's going to offend every religion 196 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: that ever existed, not just ours. See. I think a 197 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 1: lot of times we think, well, he'll be anti the 198 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: God we serve true, but he's going to be anti 199 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: anything but him. So even people that are worshiping false gods, 200 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna in their eyes blaspheme what they believe too. 201 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a Hindu, he's going to upset 202 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: you too. If you're a Muslim, he's going to upset 203 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: you too. So because he's going to go against every 204 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: religion that isn't worship of him, and of course included 205 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: in that will not just be false gods, it will 206 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: be the one and only living God that we know 207 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: to be the true God. But remember this. You cannot 208 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: forget this, and Daniel has told this, you cannot forget 209 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: that he is nothing but a puppet being controlled by God. 210 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: Now I know that's hard. We talked about that last week. 211 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: But instead of that bothering us, I wish we'd learned 212 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: to find peace in that. Okay, I mean I said this, 213 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: even talking about and complete peace, even the difficulties that 214 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: we've all been through. But I've gone through recent difficulties. 215 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: Not everybody likes the decisions that I've made concerning the 216 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: job that I did in the past for the past 217 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: thirty one years and starting this new job. Not everybody 218 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: is thrilled about that. And to the point that, because 219 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: we live in a time where I think mental illness 220 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: is completely through the roof, which I think is a darkness. 221 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: It's across our society, people can't seem to they don't. 222 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: They can't, they don't have a grasp on reality. And 223 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 1: you know, when I told you guys, when things were 224 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: happening and people were threatening me and all of this, 225 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying this to sound you know, I 226 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: don't like that. But I know for a fact, just 227 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: like I see here that if I am under the 228 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: authority of the one and only living God. Anyone who 229 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: wants to take my life, they have to check with 230 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: God first. So I rest in the fact that if 231 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: God is ready for me to go, then I'm gone. 232 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: But if God isn't, it doesn't matter how much they threaten, 233 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: they can't touch me. And so so don't always think 234 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: when you think, well, this is nothing but a puppet, 235 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: why is God allowing this that we want to obsess 236 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: on that. I think you need to find peace in 237 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: the fact that this, whoever it is or whatever it is, 238 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: can only go as far as God allows. I actually 239 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: find peace in that. Now. Sometimes God says, well, You're 240 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: not gonna like how far I go, because I've got 241 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: some refinement to do, and I don't find that enjoyable 242 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: Hebrews twelve. But I know that He disciplines those that 243 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: he loves. And every time my Daddy disciplined me or 244 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: my mama, I didn't like it, but I sure did 245 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: benefit from it, and they were in control of it 246 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: the whole time. Okay, So, so understand he's nothing but 247 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: a puppet to a scomplish the will of God. So 248 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: what is the will of God in all this? Who 249 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: is God so angry with his people? He's going to 250 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: use anti Christ and the false prophet and you're going 251 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: to see this. We study this in the Revelation. There 252 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: is going to be a revival among the Hebrew people 253 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: that God has been waiting on for a while, and 254 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: they were not going to come to him any other way. 255 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: I have been That's one of the first things I 256 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: was taught about the difficulties in my life from my pastor, 257 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: who said, there are things that are going to be 258 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: accomplished through this difficulty that God knows We're not going 259 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: to be accomplished any other way. He's not going to 260 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: have this Hebrew revival without this. And He is going 261 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: to take his anger against the people who have rejected him, 262 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: and he's going to use that anger to save many 263 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: of them their lives, because he loves them enough to 264 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: discipline them, and he'll use whatever he has in his 265 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: arsenal to do it. And Anti Christ and the false 266 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: Prophet will be used by God quite effectively. They will 267 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: also be used to punish those who reject him. So 268 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: there you go, And what is he mad about? What 269 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: is God so indignant about with the Hebrews? They rejected Jesus. 270 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: Remember what I said, and we've said this in here 271 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: a thousand times. Let me rephrase that. Remember what the 272 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: Bible said that I pointed to. When Jesus Christ said 273 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: on that cross in the New Covenant, it is finished. 274 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: You were either redeemed by that or you were condemned 275 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: by it. Because all the other things the sacrificial system 276 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: is over. There's the final lamb of God. So you 277 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: can go slaughter animals, you can jump up and down, 278 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: you can scream into woods, you can go to Mecca, 279 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: you can do all the things you want to do 280 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: to try to have forgiveness for your sin or find 281 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: some way to be right with God. When Jesus said 282 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: it is finished, he had fulfilled everything required for redemption, 283 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: which is good news. But if you reject that and 284 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: try some other way, you just got condemned by that. 285 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: So you're either right with God through Jesus are you 286 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: going to be condemned by Jesus. And that's what's going 287 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: on here. Okay, So in thirty seven you see that 288 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: now he's gonna have a religious policy. He shall pay 289 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: no attention to the gods of his fathers or to 290 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: the one beloved by women. He shall not pay attention 291 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: to any other God, for he shall magnify himself above 292 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: all of them. Most theologians believe when you look at Antichrist, 293 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: and this would not surprise me at all, because we 294 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 1: do hear that he's very effective in his deception. Well, 295 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: if he's going to be really effective in his deception, 296 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: A lot of people believe that he will rise up 297 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 1: out of some form of religion that is in the 298 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: category of Judaeo Christian. If he comes up as a 299 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: Hindu or or comes out of Islam, it won't have 300 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: near the effect if all of a sudden he were 301 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: to start to take Judaeo Christian principles and manipulate them. 302 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: And if you don't think that goes on. We don't 303 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: have the person anti Christ yet, we got the spirit 304 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: of the anti Christ. It's here right now, and he 305 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: may be walking around too. He just hasn't been revealed yet. 306 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: He may already be here. I don't know now what 307 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: does he mean about? And a lot of people have 308 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: made much of this line desired by women, that's over 309 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 1: in the pagan category. That's really all that's about. If 310 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: you go through a lot of the Greek goddesses, and 311 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: there is a spirit of the worship that women and 312 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: all these goddesses throughout the pagan history. And then there's 313 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 1: also if you look at it, even in the spirit 314 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: of sin, there's always this manipulation, this this this compromising truth. 315 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: See a lot of times we always talk about rightfully 316 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: so that there's toxic masculinity. Now, I don't like when 317 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: people call correct masculinity toxic. That's not just you know, 318 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: after the patriarch of the patriarch, the parch, the patriarchal 319 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: system of the man head of the house and all that, 320 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: that's not toxic masculinity. But there there is a version 321 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: of toxic masculinity when men abuse women, when men try 322 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: to abuse their power. Certainly, but you know, we forget 323 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: there's a toxic femininity too. Uh, And we've seen this 324 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: throughout time. There's a Jezebel spirit. And so but what 325 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: he's saying here is all these goddesses that they make 326 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: much of worshiping, you know, all these goddesses and these 327 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: women who do all these ritual and all this stuff. 328 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,959 Speaker 1: He's gonna raise himself above that too. These are mainly 329 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: worshiped by women throughout world history. He's gonna elevate himself 330 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: above that Revelation seventeen. Remember this, He tells us that 331 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: even you know, large Christian denominations are going to try 332 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: to use the beast for their own gain. You know, 333 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna look and say, you know what, maybe we 334 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: compromise a little here, a little there, so we can 335 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: be right with the beast, to be right with this 336 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: anti Christ, maybe he's one of us. And then when 337 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: they realize there's some things you gotta change about the 338 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: biblical truths, they'll change them. Paul talks about this to Timothy. 339 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: He said, the day's coming. Even within the church, you're 340 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: gonna find that people are just gonna say, don't really 341 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: like that message. I'm gonna go find a preacher. I'm 342 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: gonna go find a pastor. I'm gonna go find a 343 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: minister that tells me what I want to hear. And 344 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,959 Speaker 1: then you're gonna find ministers that say, if I tell 345 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: you what you want to hear, will you pack this 346 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: place out and give us a lot of money. And 347 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,719 Speaker 1: when people say, sure, will, Before you know it, you're 348 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: gonna have these gigantic denominations of Christianity that are not 349 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: very Christian at all, and they're going to try to 350 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: side with Antichrist and bring more confusion, but they're gonna 351 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: do it to try to protect themselves from his persecution. Right, 352 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: They're gonna cave on persecution. And you know, remember back 353 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: back early in Daniel interesting that we talked about, he 354 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,959 Speaker 1: had already resolved in his heart that even though he 355 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: lived in Babylon, knew was going to be there seventy 356 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: years knew that was going to happen. And he became 357 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: part of the society, and he became excellent and received 358 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 1: all these promotions. But he had already resolved in his 359 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: heart that then under no circumstance, no matter how much 360 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: danger awaited him, he would not compromise God. That's where 361 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: here draws the line. You see this in Acts. Remember 362 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: after after Pentecostalm they've received the Holy Spirit. Suddenly the 363 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: same two men that abandoned Jesus are telling the Sadducees 364 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: and then coming over there and telling the Pharisees. Look, 365 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: we're not going to shut up about Jesus. And what 366 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: did they say? We know now that it is better 367 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: for us to obey God than man. So if you 368 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: put us against God in order to be right with you. 369 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: We're gonna pick him. Now. They didn't do that before 370 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit, but after the Holy Spirit, which is 371 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: where we are, they had a boldness that was brand new. Okay, 372 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: but Daniel Daniel already taught that lesson long before the church. 373 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: And so what you're gonna find though, there's gonna be denominations. 374 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: They're gonna cut deals just like they do now. They 375 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: cut deals with governments, you know, they just they just 376 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: go along and get along, all under the guise of 377 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: well that this is it's better that we stay open. 378 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: Now you're back there at Babylon going, well, God's not 379 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: gonna punish us for saving our own lives. No, I 380 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: think Jesus said that we're supposed to deny ourselves, count 381 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: the costs, and pick up our cross. I think that's 382 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: actually what he said. So no, we will. We will 383 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: be killed before we would blaspheme God. But you're gonna 384 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: see a lot of the not nations that will not 385 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 1: do that, even within Christianity. So then at thirty eight, 386 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 1: he's going to show you his real purpose. He shall 387 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: honor the God of fortresses instead of these, a god 388 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: whom his fathers did not know. He shall honor with 389 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. So 390 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: who's his real god? Who is he really going to 391 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: serve Satan? Satan that he will accept what Christ rejected, 392 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: all the kingdoms of the world, the global power. Remember this, 393 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: Remember when Jesus was told by Satan that he could 394 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: have all these things, which always found so silly since 395 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: Jesus already has those things. But Satan is trying to 396 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: offer to Jesus less than he even has, acting like 397 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,719 Speaker 1: he can do something. But now, if you're a human being, 398 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: because remember anti Christ is a person until they become 399 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: completely in dwelt by Satan. So what this person will do, 400 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,479 Speaker 1: Unlike Jesus, he'll sit there and go, I'll take all 401 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: the kingdoms of the world, I'll take global power, I'll 402 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: take all these riches. Absolutely, I'll worship you. And so 403 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: that's what happens, you know, like many of our rock stars. No, 404 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: but you know there's always the rumors that a lot 405 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: of them made. I don't know this Keith Richards thing. 406 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: I've really got my eyes on. He should be long 407 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: dead by now. But anyway, so anyway, so, but Satan 408 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 1: is going to say, in return for worship of me. 409 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 1: I'll give you this throng. I'm going to make you 410 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: more powerful than any human has ever been. It is interesting, 411 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: that's the same thing you offer Jesus, but Antichrist will 412 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: actually take it. Okay, So he's going to go to 413 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: the throne. Now, I don't want you to think in 414 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: your mind this sounds a lot like a cult leader. 415 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: Cult leaders are warm up acts. This is not a 416 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: cult leader, Okay. This is going to be much more 417 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: than that. This is going to be a leader that 418 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: gets to the point that he is completely in dwelt 419 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: by Satan himself. That's the number two, Okay. Now that 420 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 1: it's a big gap between one and two. That's the highest, 421 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: most powerful ranking angel that God ever created. And that's 422 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 1: who's going to endwell, this person that's bigger than Jim 423 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: Jones in his island and his kool aid. Okay, so 424 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: it's much bigger than that. He's going to rise to 425 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: power in the wake of war. Of course, it's always 426 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: in the middle of chaos. He will glorify war. He 427 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 1: will say thank you to Satan by demanding once he 428 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 1: comes to power that he parentheses Satan be worshiped. Oh, 429 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: I'll make sure that they worship us. You don't worry 430 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: about that. You give me the power, I'll make sure 431 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: everybody worships you, Which is what what Satan's been wanting 432 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: the whole time. He's wanted that since he was thrown 433 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: out of heaven. He wants to be worshiped. He wants 434 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: to be where God is, and anti Christ is going 435 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: to be a tool to at least get him that 436 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: for just a little while. But it ain't gonna last 437 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: very long, is it. So now let's go to his battles. 438 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: Now here comes all the war. Remember Jesus is gonna 439 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: be wars and rumors of wars. Here we go in 440 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: verse thirty nine through forty five. This is all about battles. Now, okay, 441 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: he shall deal with the strongest fortresses, with the help 442 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: of a foreign God, those who acknowledge him. He shall 443 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: load with honor. He shall make them rulers over many, 444 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: and shall divide the land for a Christ. This is 445 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: the big payoff. Remember Antichust the god a foreshadowing a 446 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: type of Antichrist. Well, Antichrist does this too. What he's 447 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: gonna do, He's gonna have great power and there will 448 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: be no world power that we'll be able to go 449 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 1: against Antichrist. Now, likely the nations of the Western hemisphere 450 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,959 Speaker 1: will be forced in some sort of new Atlantic alliance 451 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 1: ruled by him the Beast, and everybody seems to think 452 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: he'll be sinned again in Rome, Russia and the Islamic 453 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: countries will be manipulated UH into striking Israel. UH. And 454 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 1: of course Israel, it will look like, okay, that they're 455 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna suffer a major loss. It's gonna look 456 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: like what happened. Israel is going to be destroyed. It's 457 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: going to be almost like wiped off the map uh. 458 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: And it will look like a great, great victory. UH. 459 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: And it's going to look like this has now given 460 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: him and all that are with him global power. Now, China, Japan, 461 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 1: the other countries of the East, they're gonna kind of 462 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: be faced with an ultimatum. Of the ultimatum for them 463 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: will be surrender. Are we gonn annhilate you too? And 464 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: they're going to see that. You know, it's gonna be 465 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: support me and I'll reward you like I have these 466 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: other countries with wealth, honor, position power. Now. The only 467 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: problem is I'm gonna be in charge, I'll give you 468 00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: all this stuff, but I'm running it, and that's gonna 469 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: be the agreement they're going to need to. So what 470 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 1: he's going to do then, since he has defeated Israel 471 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: it looks like he has, he's gonna carve it up 472 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: and divide it among his most trusted supporters. He's going 473 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: to be He's gonna probably hold Israel still of great importance, 474 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 1: almost like you know, a trophy. So he's going to 475 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: it's still the center of the earth, so he will 476 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: go there. This is in the Revelation too. He's going 477 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: to go there and still make that the center of 478 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: his false religion that he's going to create, better known 479 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: in the Revelation as the Harlot. That's that large false world, 480 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: false religion that John is shown in the Revelation the 481 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: Great Harlot. So it's going to be set up there 482 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,719 Speaker 1: in Israel. So he's going to divide it up, but 483 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: he's still going to keep a lot of it. So 484 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: it's going to look like everything is going his way. 485 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: But then he's going to start get getting some problems. 486 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: I mean, Godd is not going to allow this to 487 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: go on long. And here come the problems. Forty At 488 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: the time of the end, the king of the South 489 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: shall attack him. But the King of the North shall 490 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: rush upon him like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, 491 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: and with many ships. And he shall come into countries, 492 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: and shall he shall overflow and pass through. He shall 493 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,479 Speaker 1: come into the glorious land, and tens of thousands shall fall, 494 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: But these shall be delivered out of his hand. Edom 495 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: and Moab, and the main part of the Ammonites. He 496 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: shall stretch out his hand against the countries. The land 497 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,479 Speaker 1: of Egypt shall not escape. He shall become ruler of 498 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: the treasures of gold and silver and all the precious 499 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: things of Egypt. And the Libyans and the Kushites shall 500 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: follow in his train. But news from the east and 501 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: the North shall alarm him, and he shall go out 502 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: with great fury to destroy and devote many to destruction. 503 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: And he shall pitch his palatial tints between the sea 504 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: and the glorious holy Mountain. Yet he shall come to 505 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: his end with none to help him. All right, so 506 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: his rivals Egypt and Syria are going to try to 507 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: unite against him. Now this is going to be the 508 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: beginning of this great kingdom. He thinks he has beginning 509 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: to unravel. This is God's wrath. God's now starting to 510 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: bring his wrath against Antichrist, against the power structure of 511 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: the Beast. As a result, he'll begin to lose his 512 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: grip on as far as being a universal empire. And 513 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: the Eastern half is going to see the Eastern half, 514 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: Remember they came in reluctantly, they were given an ultimatum. 515 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: They weren't in a position to overthrow him. But when 516 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: he starts having to fight Egypt in Syria again because 517 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: people eventually get tired of being under an iron fist. 518 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: Now he's going to be all right with Egypt and Syria, 519 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: but what happens, He's got to devote his energy there. 520 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: So the people who never wanted to be in this 521 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: alliance anyway and under his authority, they say, here's our opportunity. 522 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: So now China in Japan, and they believe others will 523 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: join them that want to overthrow him, some of the 524 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: Islamic countries, and they're going to the Eastern Haf's going 525 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: to break away and they're going to mobilize against him. 526 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: So Islam is going to also have an issue. And 527 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: that's the reason why the East picks them up as 528 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: allies because remember he's blaspheming all religions, not just ours. 529 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: So now the devout Islamic people, they're not crazy about 530 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: the way he's treating Allah and treating Mohammed, and they 531 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: don't like it either. So the Buddhist and then just 532 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: the secular Japanese they're looking and saying to them, aren't 533 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: you all tired of him blaspheming everything we believe? And 534 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,959 Speaker 1: even though it's not us, God's still using them. And 535 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: now they think he's distracted, I think we can get him, 536 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: and so they go after him. Now he's he's going 537 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: to he's going to be upset about this and he's 538 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: going to try to bring his revenge. Antichrist seems to 539 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: be in Babylon at this time when the insurrection breaks out, 540 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: So Antichrist seized the problem. He's going to mobilize attack 541 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: against Egypt and Syria. First, he's going to defeat them. 542 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: They're not gonna be to pull it off. God will 543 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: actually use Now look at this, watch God, because Egypt 544 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: in Syria they haven't been good to the Hebrews either, right, 545 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: So God has two things going here. He's actually using 546 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: them to annoy Antichrist and distract him. But then he'll 547 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: use anti Christ to punish them. See, God's in charge 548 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: of all this. Y'all gonna pay a price for how 549 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: y'all treated my people. I can be mad with them, 550 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: I can do, but not you. You hadn't been good 551 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: to them, and I'm gonna get you back right now. 552 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: So they pay a price for what they've done by 553 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: being used by God to annoy Antichrist, but then ultimately 554 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: to be punished by Antichrist. But God's in charge of 555 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: all this. He will defeat them. God will actually use 556 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: anti Christ to punish them for their hate and onslaught 557 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: of the Hebrews. You know, it kind of goes back 558 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: to family, doesn't it. Now we can fight amongst ourselves 559 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,719 Speaker 1: and we have disagreements, but if you go gets one 560 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: of us, I'm coming after you, as my wife has 561 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: a shirt messed with me, mess with the whole trailer part. 562 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: So now we will have three peoples who escape his fury. Now, 563 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: this is very interesting, and it's a discussion of much 564 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: disagreement in the world of some of our most respected theologians. 565 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: Eat them and Moab, and this is the children and 566 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: the children of Amen. Now this is where we think 567 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: what today you'd call modern day Jordan. Now these are 568 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 1: bitter foes of the Hebrews too. Why are they escaping? 569 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: Why is God letting them escape? One of the theories 570 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: that God is doing the I'll deal with them myself. 571 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want them to be dealt with 572 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: right now. I'll get back to you. Do you remember, 573 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: like throughout Scripture sometimes when God would say, I'm wanna 574 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 1: take a note of that, I'll get you didn't give 575 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 1: my people passage, and I'm not gonna deal with you 576 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: right now. And then remember he goes all the way 577 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: to David and says, now I want to go back 578 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: and pay them back. Of course David didn't go, and 579 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: he send his own people. That all led to bad things. 580 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: And but the bottom line is God said, when you 581 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: look at scripture and it says, and I'm gonna use 582 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: my own you know, commentary Bible, Hey, I took note 583 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: of that, I'm gonna I'm gonna put that down and 584 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: I'll get back to you. You don't get away with it. 585 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: God may delay his punishment of you, but it's coming, okay, 586 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: So so so some people say it's just that simple. Uh, 587 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: because maybe maybe he's also saying that their loyalty to 588 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: Antichrist has not been like everybody else, and he is 589 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: showing them some mercy, you know, that they never really 590 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 1: went along with it. Nobody really knows. But but the 591 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: bottom line is Scripture tells us that Daniel sees that 592 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: God is not going to let Antichrist deal with him. 593 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean they're not dealt with. He's just not gonna 594 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: let Antichrist deal with him. And you know what, that's 595 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: God's call. And if he doesn't want to explain that 596 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: to me, I'm sure he's gonna be just fine with that. 597 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: So but but there's a lot of a lot of 598 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: theories about what's going on here, but no one truly knows. 599 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: But I tend to lean in the they they had 600 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: such a direct, ongoing problem with his people that God 601 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: may just be dealing with them himself. So he shall 602 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,399 Speaker 1: stretch out his hand against the countries in the land 603 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 1: of Egypt. Shall not escape. Now we see that they 604 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:07,720 Speaker 1: don't escape, So he'll finally conquer, and he'll finally plunder Egypt, Libya, 605 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 1: and Ethiopia. Uh, they they are not you know, when 606 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 1: when you look at what happened to Egypt. Guess what 607 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,280 Speaker 1: Libya and Ethiopia do. They cut a deal with anti 608 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 1: Christ and they tell Egypt, we said, we're gonna stand 609 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 1: with you, but this looks bad, we're out. So they 610 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,399 Speaker 1: actually turn out to not be very good friends at all. 611 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: Have you ever been through that? You ever had some 612 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 1: people say, hey, we're in this together unless it gets 613 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: too bad? Uh? And uh, I still uh, well that's 614 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: an old story. But the but I actually had a 615 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: guy one time. I got myself in a bit of 616 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: a buy and now that was on me, it was 617 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: on me, and but but he he had I thought 618 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: he would help me. Uh, And he didn't think I 619 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 1: saw him. He kind of peeked around the corner of 620 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 1: a house when I was being surrounded and I saw him, 621 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: dude like this, and he kind of left me. And 622 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,919 Speaker 1: so many years later, I mean many many years later, 623 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:03,359 Speaker 1: I actually they saw him again. And and I mean 624 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: I'd been long married to Sherry and and it was 625 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: only a few years ago and I saw him and 626 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 1: we walked away, and she said, well, what's up with 627 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 1: you and him? I said, no, that's fine, And she says, 628 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: she says, I know, I could tell there was there 629 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 1: was there was a something, There was a disdain there 630 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: that frankly, you didn't hide very well. And I said no. 631 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: I said, no, it's fine, it's it's fine. And uh 632 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 1: and she said what what what is the deal with 633 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: you and this guy? I said, we just went to 634 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: college together. And uh. She said, oh, okay, it's just 635 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 1: old times. I said, well, I said he kind of 636 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 1: abandoned me one time when I was in the buying 637 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 1: and he didn't he didn't know I saw him, but 638 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: he abandoned me like that. And she goes, my goodness, 639 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 1: was that forty years ago? Like that? And I and 640 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,399 Speaker 1: so another buddy of mine, I said, watch this right here. 641 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: I said, this is how guys are. I texted my 642 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 1: but I headed up for guess who I just saw 643 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 1: like that. I said, watch this and you can see 644 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,359 Speaker 1: the little the little circles spinning like this. And one 645 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: of my old colleg his busy because the way he goes, 646 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 1: you remember by the time he left you and abandon you. 647 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: I never forgot that like that. And I looked at 648 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 1: her as she goes, men are unbelievable like that, and 649 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: I said, well, look, I don't hold any grudge against him, 650 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: and I'm glad that you know your nephew and apparently 651 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: his son playing on the same football team. But I 652 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 1: don't think I'm gonna sit by him int the bleachers, 653 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So so anyway, but yeah, 654 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 1: so they find out pretty quick that the loyalty right 655 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: now among thieves is not real good. So they actually 656 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,800 Speaker 1: cut a deal Libya and Ethiopia with Antichrists, and Egypt 657 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 1: gets plundered, which is something he had wanted for treasure. Anyway, 658 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: now his rage in forty four, but the news from 659 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 1: the east and the north shall alarm him, and he 660 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 1: shall go out with great fury to destroy and devote 661 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: many to destruction. So now this is the beginning of 662 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 1: the end. The worldwide Empire is rapidly falling apart. Far east. 663 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: They know he's in trouble, and they're going to march 664 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 1: across the Euphrates. Now look what's getting set up here. 665 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 1: You might recall this scene. They're gonna march across the 666 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:11,839 Speaker 1: Euphrates onto the plains of Armageddon, or they're gonna get 667 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: in the mountains of Meguedo, one of the two. You 668 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: see that in Revelation sixteen anybody here ever been to Miguedo. 669 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 1: My hand is up. Everybody looked out on the battlefield 670 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: of Armageddon. That's something, isn't it. You really can't believe 671 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: what you're seeing. I mean, you're there and you're looking 672 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,360 Speaker 1: out and you're like, this is where it all goes down. 673 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: This is it, and I am here. It's a crazy feeling. 674 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: And of course Mguedo, every empire ever tried to have 675 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,400 Speaker 1: that position, because that's where you need to be if 676 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: you're going to defend yourself. And you go up there 677 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 1: and you see where some of Solomon's old horse troughs are, 678 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,959 Speaker 1: and of course there's been multiple every time somebody would 679 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: defeat you know, Israel, they'd all go up and they 680 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,319 Speaker 1: take that spot. Everybody kept taking that spot. And as 681 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: I've told you before, Napoleon looked upon it and says, 682 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: this is the perfect battlefield. And so they think that 683 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 1: when the when the Eastern armies come, they'll either go 684 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: to Megido or they'll just get out there on the 685 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: battlefield and get ready to go. It'll be a combination 686 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 1: from the east. Most people believe it'll be this beautiful 687 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:19,799 Speaker 1: combination of Japanese technology and Chinese power. Uh. It will 688 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,359 Speaker 1: be a massive army uh and uh. And then it'll 689 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: be mobilized against what the west. So you're gonna have 690 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: the East and the West. Other nations will join the East. 691 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: Uh and the approaching hordes as we see in scripture. 692 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: And how about this, y'all realize right now it's nothing 693 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 1: for China to have a million man army, nothing and 694 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,320 Speaker 1: so uh and so the approaching hordes will be countless. 695 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 1: Anti Christ will be furious and mount an enormous military 696 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: and industrial mammoth from the west, ready for war. So 697 00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: here comes Anti Christ with everybody from the west. Here 698 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 1: comes the opposition from the east. They make their way 699 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 1: to Armageddon Megido, and they're standing there, and armageddon is 700 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:18,439 Speaker 1: set and it never gets to happen. So forty five 701 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 1: his ruin, and he shall pitch his palatial tints between 702 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 1: the sea and the glorious Holy Mountain. Yet he shall 703 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: come to his end with none to help him. Time 704 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 1: has run out on Anti Christ. The divine clock, that 705 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 1: the divine clock that has been ticking without anyone even knowing. 706 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: Remember what I said, God knows exactly when everything's gonna happen. 707 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 1: That clock. God's not sitting there going, well, now it's 708 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: not a good time. Maybe I'll do this. Let me 709 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,440 Speaker 1: tell you what you never get from God is delay. 710 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 1: Now you may think it's delay, but his clock has 711 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 1: been ticking and it's gonna hit right when he said 712 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna hit. So remember what's happened here if you 713 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: got to go to the revelation now because we talked 714 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,719 Speaker 1: about it, no more details, but what's happened here when 715 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 1: they hit the battlefield at Armageddon and you've got the 716 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: West versus the East, and you've got them coming onto 717 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: this battlefield all thinking they're going to take control of 718 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,839 Speaker 1: the world. What you don't realize is if they had 719 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 1: been paying attention like Daniel did. Daniel when he landed 720 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 1: in Babylon, he's like Jeremiah says, seventy years. Well, if 721 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 1: they've been paying attention, and they have been listening to 722 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 1: Jesus in the future in Matthew twenty four when he 723 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 1: told them this, because now this is after that. Okay, 724 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 1: remember we're after Jesus now because he's about to come 725 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 1: on the scene. But if they had been paying attention, 726 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: they should have looked up and says, oh, seven years 727 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:52,959 Speaker 1: is up? This this was only gonna last seven years. 728 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 1: And if they've been paying attention to the clock, God said, oh, 729 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 1: by the way, seven years is up, and they're like, 730 00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,040 Speaker 1: we hit the battlefield right at the clock went to zero. 731 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,719 Speaker 1: That is correct. I just thought I'd gather y'all right 732 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 1: here so I can now destroy all of you. Okay. 733 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 1: So this is all God the entire time. Okay. So 734 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,879 Speaker 1: he started the treaty with Israel that he broke Antichrist 735 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 1: seven years ago. It's been ticking and now when he 736 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,319 Speaker 1: steps on that battlefield, it's almost like I can hear 737 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:28,359 Speaker 1: the chimes going off. The bell is tolling for Antichrist. 738 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 1: And what's about to happen is the heavens are going 739 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 1: to open. The Lord Jesus Christ will come back by 740 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 1: the armies of Heaven and are you ready for this? 741 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 1: Accompanied by his blood vault ride. We're there and we 742 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 1: win here we come. Now he doesn't need us, but 743 00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:57,279 Speaker 1: we're still there, you know. And so and what's going 744 00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,800 Speaker 1: to happen is we're going to be Do you realize 745 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 1: it hit you? We covered this before, but I want 746 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 1: to go back to it again because it's been since 747 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,719 Speaker 1: the revelation. I want you to understand redeemed and out there. 748 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 1: If you're redeemed, do you understand that you're going to 749 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:17,280 Speaker 1: come back to Armageddon with the one and only Lord 750 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 1: of Lords, King of Kings, the Son of God and 751 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 1: his glorified state. And you're gonna look and you're not 752 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 1: just gonna look next to you and see Mike and 753 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 1: see Steve. You're gonna look to the next to you 754 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,240 Speaker 1: and see Michael. You're gonna see Gabriel, You're gonna see angels. 755 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna be in the military with them, and we're 756 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 1: gonna look out front and say, there he is the 757 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,720 Speaker 1: glorified Christ. I want you to understand. I'm not telling 758 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,360 Speaker 1: you that like some fairy tale. I'm not telling you 759 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,800 Speaker 1: that to help you get through the day. I'm telling 760 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 1: you because it's true. And man, if that doesn't get 761 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 1: you out of the bed tomorrow, if the Lord allows 762 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,160 Speaker 1: you to breathe, I don't know what will. Hey, we 763 00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,719 Speaker 1: got nothing ahead of us but hope for the redeem Now, 764 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:04,560 Speaker 1: if you're not redeemed, this is all really bad news 765 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,399 Speaker 1: because here's what's going to happen. The heavens will open. 766 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,760 Speaker 1: Here comes our Lord, Armies of Heaven, there's the angels 767 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:21,319 Speaker 1: accompanied by the blood bought bride. That's the Church invisible, omnipotent, sweeping, 768 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 1: sweeping all before him. He will descend, he will be invincible, 769 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 1: His sword will flash forth, and the battle of Armageddon 770 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 1: will be over in a moment, in the twinkling of 771 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:44,640 Speaker 1: an eye. Do you realize how much power? Remember back 772 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 1: when we studied the Revelation, and we studied Revelation eighteen, 773 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 1: do you remember when we kept talking about how all 774 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,120 Speaker 1: these kings and all these that had been doing business 775 00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 1: with the Great Babylon, the financial Empire. They weren't just 776 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:08,839 Speaker 1: they weren't just astounded by the defeat of Babylon. They 777 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:13,320 Speaker 1: were also equally astounded by how quick it happened. It 778 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 1: didn't It didn't take long at all. Can you imagine 779 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:21,400 Speaker 1: putting together millions and millions of people to be in 780 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:28,439 Speaker 1: these mighty armies, industrial, the technology, the weapons, and it's 781 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 1: meaningless against Jesus, his angels and his church. Meaningless. That's amazing. 782 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:44,840 Speaker 1: None shall help him. I love that, don't you. Here's 783 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 1: this guy, he manipulated so many But when you have 784 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:57,920 Speaker 1: to depend on manipulation, when the time comes, nobody is 785 00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:03,760 Speaker 1: there to help you Daniel's final words on the anti Christ. 786 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: He and the false prophet will be thrown into the 787 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:12,200 Speaker 1: lake of fire and that'll be the end of that. 788 00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 1: Who are these people? We don't know. I mean, we 789 00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:22,120 Speaker 1: kind of know what to look for as far as 790 00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:27,359 Speaker 1: the false prophet. All we know there and you can 791 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,200 Speaker 1: draw your own conclusions. But things may change before this 792 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,880 Speaker 1: gets here. I mean, we got all we can theorize 793 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,759 Speaker 1: on the things that we can see and field or 794 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 1: whatever the Bible tells us. But here's what we know. 795 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:43,919 Speaker 1: We do know this. The manipulation is going to come 796 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:48,880 Speaker 1: through some form of a church and a religion, and 797 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:54,400 Speaker 1: we do know that it's somebody that is trusted by 798 00:47:54,440 --> 00:48:00,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people, and that person will be trusted 799 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:07,440 Speaker 1: by people of faith, and that person will participate and 800 00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:12,880 Speaker 1: pretending that anti Christ is killed and then raises himself 801 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,840 Speaker 1: from the dead, just like Jesus. It will all be 802 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 1: a trick, but there will be a religious leader, you know, 803 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:28,319 Speaker 1: because Antichrist is cunning enough to know if I come 804 00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:33,360 Speaker 1: on the scene and start acting like I should be worshiped, 805 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 1: they don't really know me. I need somebody they trust 806 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 1: that will tell them it's okay to worship me, which 807 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:46,399 Speaker 1: you're smart. But what's sad is apparently he finds one 808 00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,720 Speaker 1: and then that person gets in dwelt by a powerful 809 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:55,920 Speaker 1: demon as well. But and that's why Jesus, when he 810 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 1: comes on the scene, says, let me show y'all how 811 00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,120 Speaker 1: quick this is over. The two y'all have given the 812 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:06,000 Speaker 1: most power to let me kill them first. How would 813 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 1: you feel It'd be like you coming on to a 814 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,440 Speaker 1: football field and you said, we got two players that 815 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 1: can't nobody stop. And on the first play of the game, 816 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 1: whoever you're playing hurt both of them, and they're carrying 817 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:17,759 Speaker 1: them away in an amulets. And then it look says, 818 00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 1: now let's continue to play, and they're gone. We took 819 00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 1: care of them with like nothing. Imagine how easy it's 820 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:24,400 Speaker 1: going to be for us to kill the rest of you. 821 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,080 Speaker 1: And that's the end of that. And as you know 822 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 1: in the Revelation, the birds and the scavengers begin to gather. 823 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,000 Speaker 1: Do you think that's intimidating when you look up and 824 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 1: see and you go, I know what these animals do? 825 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:42,600 Speaker 1: They eat dead things? And you look and go, I 826 00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 1: wonder why they're gathering over us. Yeah, And the angels 827 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:53,200 Speaker 1: are saying, prepare to gorge yourself. And then what happens 828 00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:56,400 Speaker 1: after this? If you know Revelation nineteen, what happens after this? 829 00:49:56,440 --> 00:50:01,799 Speaker 1: Remember this the Hallelujah chorus? And that's the thing that 830 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 1: I know that some of us, but you've got to 831 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,399 Speaker 1: understand the way you are right now and the way 832 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:10,000 Speaker 1: I am right now. We still have flesh, we still 833 00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 1: have a sin nature. We're not all in yet, but 834 00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:19,440 Speaker 1: see now will be glorified and that sin nature will 835 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:24,319 Speaker 1: be gone. And you do realize what the Hallelujah chorus. 836 00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,040 Speaker 1: It's not all that popular when it's played by an 837 00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,399 Speaker 1: orchestra because nobody likes to talk about it. The Hallelujah 838 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,360 Speaker 1: chorus is two things. The one that we all everybody's 839 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:37,440 Speaker 1: okay with, which is fine. We're worshiping God, the one 840 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,719 Speaker 1: who's worthy of worship. But I got news for you. 841 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:44,120 Speaker 1: What else we're saying hallelujah about that Jesus just killed 842 00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:50,520 Speaker 1: everybody who opposed him, supernatural and human. He killed them all, 843 00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 1: and we celebrate that. And some of you say, well, 844 00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:56,920 Speaker 1: what if I know some of the people that he 845 00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:03,839 Speaker 1: destroys comes so enamored with him because we have been 846 00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:07,239 Speaker 1: in his presence, and we are so ready for the 847 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,560 Speaker 1: new Heaven and the new Earth, and we are so 848 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,920 Speaker 1: ready for the new Jerusalem. And we are so enamored 849 00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:16,160 Speaker 1: with Jesus in his glorified state, while we too are 850 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 1: in our glorified state, that we also despise with a 851 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:27,880 Speaker 1: righteous anger, anyone who opposes him, even people we once knew, 852 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,719 Speaker 1: because they are now the enemies of the one who 853 00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:38,480 Speaker 1: redeemed us. He wipes away every tear, which means for 854 00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,560 Speaker 1: a moment, maybe there is a tear, but he wipes 855 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:46,920 Speaker 1: it away, and we're at full peace, and we stand 856 00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:51,799 Speaker 1: with him in solidarity, and we oppose all who oppose him, 857 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:58,359 Speaker 1: and we are grateful that they are gone. So where 858 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:04,879 Speaker 1: will you big, Where will you be? You don't want 859 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:09,040 Speaker 1: to be on the battlefield of armageddon? Some of you say, well, Rick, 860 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 1: what if I don't live to Armageddon. Well, if you've 861 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,319 Speaker 1: rejected Jesus right now and you die, then you're you're 862 00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,920 Speaker 1: against him at armageddon even though it hadn't happened yet, 863 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:24,480 Speaker 1: because you're still against him. As my brother has said 864 00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:29,759 Speaker 1: so straightforward, for people that are going to die today, 865 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,080 Speaker 1: it really doesn't matter when they rebuild the temple, does 866 00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:37,040 Speaker 1: it because you're going to be dealt with today. So 867 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,680 Speaker 1: what I would do is I get right with him 868 00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 1: now while there's still time, while the grace is still there, 869 00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,600 Speaker 1: and just say, Jesus, I repent. I don't I know 870 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,120 Speaker 1: that I oppose you. I don't want to oppose you. 871 00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,880 Speaker 1: I know that I can't stand before your father because 872 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,200 Speaker 1: your father is perfect, your father is holy. Your father 873 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 1: is holy, Your Father is holy. You are the beginning, 874 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,919 Speaker 1: you are the end. You are the great I am, 875 00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,879 Speaker 1: and nothing with a speck of sin can come into 876 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:10,280 Speaker 1: the presence of a holy God. That's why I need you, Jesus. 877 00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,239 Speaker 1: I need you to make me not partially righteous. I 878 00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,440 Speaker 1: need you to make me fully righteous, because that's the standard, 879 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,200 Speaker 1: and only you can do it. And I repent of 880 00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,680 Speaker 1: my sin today, and I turn from my sin, and 881 00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,840 Speaker 1: I turned to you, and I ask you to forgive me. 882 00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,640 Speaker 1: And I believe in my heart that only you can. 883 00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,880 Speaker 1: I leave faith in myself and I put my faith 884 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:35,319 Speaker 1: completely in you. I leave my own authority, and I 885 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:39,319 Speaker 1: confess you, Jesus, as my new authority. I confess you 886 00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,400 Speaker 1: as Lord because the scriptures tell me that in my 887 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 1: heart I believe by faith that only you can redeem me. 888 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:48,759 Speaker 1: And I've confessed with my mouth that you're a Lord, 889 00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:52,840 Speaker 1: and with the heart I have believed, and I am saved, 890 00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:57,160 Speaker 1: And with my mouth I have confessed and I'm justified. 891 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 1: Maybe today day you need to do that. And I've 892 00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,239 Speaker 1: said this a thousand times, and I had a chance 893 00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,600 Speaker 1: to say it this past weekend. I'll say it again. Please, please, please, 894 00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,680 Speaker 1: don't have your heart cut today and say I know 895 00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:16,240 Speaker 1: I need to repent, I know I need to be redeemed, 896 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:21,200 Speaker 1: and I'm going to, but just not today. Today's your day. 897 00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,440 Speaker 1: Today's the day. And if I can help you in 898 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,719 Speaker 1: any way, if you have finally did that for the 899 00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:30,440 Speaker 1: first time or the first time you meant it, just 900 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 1: reach out to me Rick at Burgessmanistries dot com and 901 00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:37,800 Speaker 1: I'll help you take the next step.
