1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Wednesday Bible Study. So good to be

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: together again with you, those of you that are in

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: the room. Hello, fellas, thanks for being back. For we're

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: wrapping up the Book of Daniel. Here we go the

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: final installment Daniel, chapter twelve. If you want to go

6
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: go ahead and turn there. What an incredible study this

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: has been. I have learned so much it has it

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: definitely has required a lot of work with that, but

9
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: that's good. I mean that we need to be just

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: diving in. And you'll find throughout your sanctification that sometimes

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: you go into a book of the Bible and maybe

12
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: you're not quite ready for it yet, and you struggle,

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: and then you come back a few years later and

14
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: also it just comes alive to you.

15
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: It's amazing how that takes place.

16
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: And obviously this was a book for me that God

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: planned the perfect time.

18
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: Didn't take me till I was sixty to be able

19
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: to run through it.

20
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: So so anyway, we will be in the final chapter today,

21
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 1: just a little bit of.

22
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: A few a little bit information.

23
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: This Bible study, if you're new to it, is brought

Speaker 1: of Job. There's a lot in that book about job,

36
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,720

Speaker 1: You can find those under events. We also do conferences.

45
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: We've had one of ours in twenty twenty five. We

Speaker 1: have two more that remain. You can find the details

47

Speaker 1: on those for Panama City, Florida, and Atlanta, Georgia, both

48
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: of those coming back to back the last two weeks

49
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: of February. So all of that is at the Maanchurch

50
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: dot com. Let's open up in a word of prayer

51
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: and then we'll jump right in. Lord, thank you for today,

52
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: thank you for the opportunity to study your Holy Word.

53
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: We're just so thankful for how good you've been to us.

54
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: We're so thankful Lord that you would love us enough

55
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: that you would speak to us in a personal way

56
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: as individuals.

57
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: It's a mind blowing thought. So thank you, Lord.

58
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: May we live in a way that brings glory to you,

59
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: never to abuse the grace that you've given us, but

60
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: for you to get a return on the grace, not

61
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: to earn anything, because we can't do that, but just

62
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: to say thank.

63
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: You, to be obedient because we love you. In your name,

64
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: we pray Amen.

65
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: So here we are. Daniel has seen a lot. He's

66
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: now looking ahead. When we left eleven eleven was all prophecy.

67
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: It was a lot of world history, things that in

68
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: our lifetime, not in Daniels, but in our lifetime have

69
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: already happened. But even Daniel was not seen just beyond

70
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: his own life. He saw beyond our current life. And

71
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: that's we're really going to stay there today because toward

72
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: the end we're dealing with anti Christ and we're dealing

73
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: with the time to come, even as we all sit

74
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: here today, a time to come to prepare for to

75
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: be about his business. So when you look jump into twelve,

76
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: you're going to see right out of the gate, we're

77
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: going to jump into the tribulation. A lot of this

78
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: is going to be about the tribulation. Now, does the

79
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: tribulation include gentiles who have not been redeemed?

80
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: Sure it does.

81
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: But the tribulation you have to remember when you're dealing

82
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: with the Hebrews and you're dealing with the Gentiles. It's yes,

83
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: we're all one church, no doubt about that. But the

84
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: relationship with God is very unique between the two groups.

85
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: And what you're going to find is the tribulation is

86
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: designed for the Hebrews. It was design for God to

87
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: use difficulty, as he did throughout his entire relationship with

88
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: the hebrew people even to today, to bring them to repentance.

89
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: But because of the opportunity afforded the Gentiles, thank you.

90
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: You know, also some Gentiles will also go through the

91
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: tribulation as well. But what Daniel is seeing is how

92
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: it affects his people. And remember all the Old Testament prophets,

93
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: as we've said, and I know there's been a debate

94
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: on whether Daniel is a prophet or not. Jesus says

95
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: he's a prophet, so that's the end of that.

96
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: So but.

97
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: He is a prophet, and in the Church Age, they

98
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: just they don't they don't fully understand it at all.

99
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: And you're going to see that again here. So we're

100
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: going to talk about Michael. Now, Michael is the archangel.

101
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: He has a distinctive relationship to the nation of Israel.

102
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: We know that, so Adam lost his member.

103
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: We talked about this in the study of Genesis, okay,

104
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: and we talked about this in the study.

105
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 2: Of the Revelation.

106
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: There's a lot we've already studied in twelve, okay, but

107
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: all of you may not have been here here for that.

108
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: But just for a little bit of review, what happened

109
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: in the Garden of Eden is that dominion or sovereignty

110
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: over the earth was given to man, to human beings,

111
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: uh And and an opportunity was afforded for us to

112
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: live in harmony with God, enjoying this dominion as long

113
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: as we were willing to trust that he knew right

114
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: from wrong. And we just did what he said. And

115
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: then he said, I'll provide everything that you need, and

116
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: I'll give you dominion over the earth. And Lucifer comes

117
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: into the garden convinces mankind that we should have to

118
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: say in what is right and wrong? We portray God.

119
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: And guess who takes dominion over the earth?

120
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: Satan?

121
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: Okay, and he currently still has dominion over this fallen earth.

122
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: Now I'll get to it later. I had someone question

123
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: me on something I said in one of the Bible studies,

124
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: and they are right, and I explained to them what

125
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: I meant, and they said, I understand that you might

126
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: just want to clarify that, and I will today on

127
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 1: something I said concerning the temptation of Jesus. But anyway,

128
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: so at the fall it went to Satan. You know

129
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: John in chapter twelve, verse thirty one, and we shall

130
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: also studied the Gospel of John. He calls him the

131
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: Prince of the world, and that's legitimate, okay. Then, and

132
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: then we also see that his principalities and his powers

133
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: over the nations of the world, and there's examples of

134
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: that everywhere. We've got to understand on spiritual warfare. And

135
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: I fear that so many times we in the Western Church,

136
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: we're acting like that a spiritual battle isn't going on,

137
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: But it is. Whether you're prepared for it or not,

138
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: it's still going on, and we got to do a

139
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: better job of understanding it. So when you look around

140
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: and you see, for instance, you know, some of the

141
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: depravity of mankind, and you see human beings and nations

142
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: doing things that you're like, how can this be so wicked? Well,

143
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: I'll tell you how. They're under the dominion of demonic

144
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: forces who are ultimately under the dominion of Lucifer. Okay,

145
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: when you see evil dictators, they are inhabited by demon

146
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: When you see somebody just randomly kill people just because

147
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: they were home, that you remember that that we tried

148
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: to find the reason this person murdered all these people

149
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: in cold blood, and we can't find a reason. It

150
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: really is they just wanted to kill people. Well, yeah,

151
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: because they are demonic. It's a spiritual world. We live

152
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: in a falling creation that is currently under the dominion

153
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: of satanic forces. Now because of the Church and God's

154
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: grace through the Church, the salt and light, it's not

155
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: completely out of hand. But in the tribulation, Jesus himself said,

156
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: if my Father allowed this to go on any longer,

157
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: no one would survive. Okay, it had to be limited

158
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: by God because it is so severe and it's not

159
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: anything that any of us have ever experienced on.

160
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 2: Our worst day. I'm sorry, it's worse. Okay.

161
00:08:54,880 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: So you see, Michael is here, and he's and Satan

162
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: wrestled this from Adam. He did not get it from God.

163
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: That's important. Do not think that Satan took dominion away

164
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: from God. That has never happened. It's not gonna happen.

165
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: That was the point I was making about the temptation.

166
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: But anyway, however, he did take it away from man.

167
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: He did take it away from Adam. Okay, So what

168
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: was given to Adam Satan took. Now, who's gonna give

169
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: it back? Jesus Okay, But that we're not finished with

170
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: that yet. He's already done what needs to be done

171
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: to give it back into the Redeemed. He's giving it back,

172
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: but ultimately we will completely have this reign with Christ again.

173
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: But that's in the future. Okay, So we're going to

174
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: talk about that. So God called Abraham. Remember this that

175
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: Satan wrestled this from Adam. He didn't get it from God.

176
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: The world is in his lap, Okay, the wicked one,

177
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: as we see in Luke four five through seven, when

178
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: Jesus was tempted. And here's the clarification, because I mentioned

179
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: this before, somebody did say when I rick, you're acting

180
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: like that Satan didn't have this dominion to give to Jesus.

181
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: He actually did. I got it, And you're right about that.

182
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: When he's tempting Jesus. What I meant was he's trying

183
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: to give something to Jesus that the God side of

184
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: Jesus has never lost and will be. It's guaranteed that

185
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: that's going to be resolved. That's what I meant by that.

186
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: But you are legalistically correct that Satan was offering something

187
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: that at the time he does have. He does have

188
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: dominion over the world, but Jesus doesn't quite need that,

189
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: since the God's side of him has never lost dominion

190
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: over anything. But I understand your point. So anyway, God

191
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: called Abraham, and as soon as you have this fall,

192
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: God goes to Abraham and he begins basically to start

193
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: all over again. And that's why the Hebrews are so

194
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: special to God. He is now going to take a

195
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: single individual, just like Adam. He saved Abraham, he separated Abraham,

196
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: he sanctified Abraham, and then he gave him a new nation, Israel.

197
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: God then entered into a covenant, creating a nation. Now

198
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: this is important. Israel is not under control of any demon.

199
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: All the other nations are to some degree under control

200
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: of demons. Israel has a protector, the archangel Michael. Now

201
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: is God disciplining them?

202
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: Yes? Does God allow them to struggle? Yes? Do they

203
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: have demonic forces over them?

204
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: No? Have they been blinded to a degree because of

205
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: the rejection of Jesus? Yes, But God did that too.

206
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: So remember that he started over with a nation that

207
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: he made his own, and he has a covenant with

208
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: them that is unique. Okay, And their enemies need to

209
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: learn that he can discipline them, and he'll allow their

210
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: enemies to be part of discipline. But ultimately, God is

211
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: going to protect Israel until he is done with him.

212
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: And in the tribulation.

213
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: We've talked about last week, we kind of see that

214
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: finally happen. But anyway, so God appointed Michael, the Archangel,

215
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: the field Marshal of all of the armies of Heaven,

216
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: to be this nation's representative of their protector in the

217
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: spiritual rem in the spiritual rem So this has of

218
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: course infuriated Lucifer because this is something he can't have,

219
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: and it infuriates him. And he hates Israel, he hates

220
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: the Hebrews, and through the ages he has done everything

221
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: he can do to destroy them, to corrupt them, to

222
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 1: persecute them. And Daniel was now being told that Michael,

223
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: Israel's guardian angel, will be especially active in the end

224
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: times when Antichrist will launch against the Jewish people the

225
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: worst period of persecution in all of their troubled history.

226
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: And you're thinking, worse than Hitler. Worse than Hitler, okay, so, which,

227
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: by the way, Hitler just a demonic person under the

228
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: influence of Satan himself, trying his best to eradicate.

229
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 2: The Jewish people.

230
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: Okay, so because he hates them. So anyway, this time

231
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: that is coming. Jesus talked to us about this in

232
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: Matthew twenty four. I've said this a lot. He talks

233
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: all about this Jeremiah in chapter thirty, verse seven, called

234
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: this the time of Jacob's troubles. Talking about the tribulation

235
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: Revelation seven, We study it, studied it the one hundred

236
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: and forty four thousand witnesses. Will you know. They will

237
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: consecrate gentiles by the millions who will be martyred. But

238
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: the tribulation is in Jewish focus more than gentiles. Even

239
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: though the Hebrews are used to even bring gentiles to faith,

240
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: it is a Jewish focused moment. Satan's wrath will know

241
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: no bounds, worse than anything that the planet has ever known.

242
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: And God will make sure this is the part you

243
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: can't miss. And we'll go more into this in our

244
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: next study. God will make sure that the tribulation itself,

245
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: like all suffering, will serve its purpose.

246
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: Remember that. So Michael shows up on the scene.

247
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: He says, at that time shall arise Michael, the great Prince,

248
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: who has charge of your people. And there will be

249
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: a time of trouble such as never has been been

250
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: since there was a nation till that time. But at

251
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: that time your people shall be delivered everyone whose name

252
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: shall be found written.

253
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: In the book. I noticed this.

254
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: This is book singular So when we say books singular,

255
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: that's the Book of Life. That's where all the redeemed

256
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: the names are written. Now, some have said that everybody's

257
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: name is there, it's just some get blotted out. Either way,

258
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: it's the same thing. The names that stay there are

259
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: the names of the redeemed. So now we know that

260
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: that's exactly what just happened. Everything we just said. That

261
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: first verse says, now look at two and many of

262
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,

263
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt.

264
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: Now we're talking about the resurrection of the dead here

265
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: with a great white throne Judgment Revelation twenty. Okay, so

266
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: Daniel is seeing that now and he's being told this,

267
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: this will be. This is a reminder to Daniel because

268
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: he needs to hear this right now. Daniel's getting toward

269
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: the end of his life and he's being reminded again

270
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: by God through the Angel sometimes even the preincarnate Jesus himself.

271
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 2: Death is not the end. The resurrection will be shared

272
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: by all, but it'll be.

273
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: A much different experience for the redeemed versus those that

274
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,359
Speaker 1: are lost. And here's the difference. Look this word contempt

275
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: we have in English here. If you look at the

276
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: original text, this word means thrusting away. These will be

277
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: pushed away from God. They'll be thrown into the Lake

278
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: of Fire. Revelation twenty, the White Throne Judgment. Okay, so

279
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: Daniel is seeing this, so he's being reminded that there

280
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: will be a resurrection of the dead. And I think

281
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: sometimes we forget that. Let me give a heads up

282
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: to you, because I love you enough to give you

283
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: a heads up in here and out there. Okay, everybody, listen.

284
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: Everybody's eternal. I know sometimes you get in your mind, well,

285
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: if I'm not redeemed, I don't get heaven. But but

286
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: I'll just be nothing. No, everybody's gonna live in eternity somewhere.

287
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: It's just where you're gonna live. Everybody's eternal. You're either

288
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: gonna be in eternal perfection. Are you going to be

289
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: an eternal damnation. You're either gonna live forever? Are you

290
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 1: going to die forever? There is no in between, okay,

291
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: And that's all quite clear at the White Throne Judgment.

292
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: So here come the one hundred and forty four thousand

293
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: witnesses that we studied in our study of the Revelation

294
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: in verse three, and those who are wise shall shine

295
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: like the brightness of the sky above, and those who

296
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: turn many to righteousness.

297
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: This is the one hundred and forty four thousand in scripture.

298
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: You see many times sun and stars are used symbolically

299
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: in scripture to depict high position and great power. So

300
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: there's going to be one hundred and forty four thousand

301
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: Hebrews that are the greatest evangelists of all time. And

302
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: they get the job done, protected by God because His

303
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: mark is on them. Everybody who comes against them, they're protected,

304
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: and they draw many to redemption. Now the ones they

305
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: draw to redemption, and almost all of those are martyred,

306
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: but they're redeemed, okay. And so Daniel is seeing that

307
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: his people, some of them will be wise, some of

308
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: them will see the light of Jesus, they will repent,

309
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,719
Speaker 1: they will turn to Christ, they will accept him as Messiah.

310
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: And he says, and know this, they'll bring many to righteousness. Amen, again,

311
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: showing how gracious God is. He even is still giving

312
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: a final call. We just finished the Revelation again at

313
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: Sunday School Slash Life Group. But anyway, so we just

314
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: finished the Revelation again, and I was able to finish

315
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: twenty two again.

316
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: And I'm reading Revelation.

317
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: Twenty two and I see the final words of the

318
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: Holy Scripture is still God saying repent. The last thing

319
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: John says to everybody to finish the Revelation is grace

320
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: to you from our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus himself is

321
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: making the plea repent come to me.

322
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: Okay.

323
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: So it like like I had the chance to talk

324
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 1: to the atheist. He's really an agnostic. He thinks he's

325
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: an atheist, but he really isn't. There really are no atheists,

326
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: because that means you can prove there is no God,

327
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: and you can't. You're agnostic, is what you are. You

328
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: don't know, you don't believe, but you can't prove it.

329
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: So anyway, so we're I'm having this discussion with him

330
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: in Nicaragua, and and this is that moment I just

331
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: ga't wordship of God hell, And like, that's the first

332
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: person that's ever said that. I was like, surely you

333
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: don't think the only person ever said that? Do you

334
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: honestly think that's some unique thought that you just came

335
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: up with.

336
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 2: Uh? And and you.

337
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: Know, and the interpreter kind of looked at me, like,

338
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: do you want me to continue with this? But anyway,

339
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: so the I said to him, that's not God at all.

340
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: I said, the God that I have been redeemed by,

341
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: he is trying to deliver people from him. We're sending

342
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: ourselves to hell because we have to look at Jesus

343
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 1: on the cross and saying, eh, I'm out. I reject

344
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: you and your plead to me to repent, even though

345
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: if I will, you'll totally forgive me make me fully righteous.

346
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: So I have looked at the price paid by God himself,

347
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: the literal son of God in the Trinity, the try

348
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: You and God, and I've said no, thank you. At

349
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: that point, I've sent myself to hell because I have

350
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: to be made fully righteous in order to come into

351
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: the presence of a holy God. And I've said no,

352
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: thank you. But it was provided. I just rejected it.

353
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: So the God that we're serving is trying to deliver

354
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,239
Speaker 1: us from hell. We brought hell on ourselves and our

355
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: own rebellion. So anyway, so the one hundred and forty

356
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: four thousand, we'll get that done. So now we look

357
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: at the Times of Verses four through seven. Let's say

358
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: at verse four, but you shut up the words and

359
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: seal the book until the time of the end, many

360
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: shall run to and Fro and knowledge shall increase. Now

361
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: this is this is a Dandie here verse four. You

362
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: think this has been much debated by theologians.

363
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 2: What is this? To and Fro? What is all this?

364
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: A lot of discussion about this, But let's see if

365
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: we can't Calhoun County this for you.

366
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: Okay.

367
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: Now, remember John and the Revelation was told not to

368
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: seal up his visions because their time of fulfillment was

369
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: at hand.

370
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 2: This is different.

371
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: Daniel was told to seal up the book. Daniel's prophecy

372
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: dealt with events so remote in the future that their

373
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: meaning would be so obscure until a time that would

374
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: be closer to the actual events. God says, let's seal

375
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: it up right now. Nobody can handle it. Nobody's gonna

376
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: understand it down. You seal this up a time's coming

377
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: that I'll allow to be discovered, and then I will

378
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: allow them to begin to debate it. That's this to

379
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 1: and Fro stuff Daniel's prophecy. You have been attacked to

380
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: and Fro. But he says, they're not. They're going to

381
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 1: find it, they're going to debate it, they're not going

382
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: to understand it. But as knowledge is made more and

383
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: more available, you're going to see what you said, what

384
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: I'm showing you to become more accepted. However, it will

385
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: be much debated. People will go out and try to

386
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: increase knowledge at seminaries and all these different places. There's

387
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: going to be all kinds of chaos around what you

388
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: have seen and what you have written. That time is

389
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: coming and it will be debated. It will be discussed.

390
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: People will attack the authenticity of it. But but people

391
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: will be able. As we move toward these events, people

392
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: will be able to more accurately translate this in a

393
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: later time. Another another interpretation of what we've written here

394
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 1: is to and you do see this phrase throughout scripture

395
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: more than just here, is that the to and fro

396
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: means this will also mean some people will get this,

397
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: and there'll be apostates will They will go out and say,

398
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: you didn't see this, You really aren't a prophet. There's

399
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: no way you could have known this. This is fake.

400
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: He's telling Daniel, look, all this is going to happen.

401
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: Set it up for right, now this will come out later.

402
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: This is for you right now, it'll be for others later.

403
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: And that's really what he's talking about. And now let's

404
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 1: look at five through seven. Then I Daniel looked and

405
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: behold two others stood, one on this bank of the

406
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: stream and one on that bank of the stream.

407
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 2: And you start looking.

408
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: Now he realizes when he looks around he is seeing

409
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: other spiritual beings. Now let's look at six. And someone

410
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: said to the man clothed in Lennon, who was above

411
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: the waters of the stream, how long shall it be

412
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: to the end of these wonders? And I heard the

413
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: man clothed in Lenen, who was above the waters of

414
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: the stream, he raised his right hand and in his

415
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: left hand toward Heaven, and swore by him who lives forever,

416
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: that it would be for a time times and half

417
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: of time, and that when the shattering of the power

418
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: of the Holy People comes to an end, all these

419
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: things would be finished. So what in the world is

420
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: he talking about here? Well, he's seeing angels. One of

421
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: them we think, because of the beginning of twelve, we

422
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: think one of them is likely Michael.

423
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 2: That Michael is there. Remember this, and this is one

424
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 2: of the things.

425
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: We talked about this before and here, But if you

426
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: haven't been with us, one of my dearest friends and

427
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: I we went out in the woods last Thursday, and

428
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: this is when the thing that we just were blown.

429
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: Really we've gotten to the point now, he and I,

430
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: as we've gotten in our sixties. I'm glad my dad

431
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: is already in heaven so we wouldn't have to see this.

432
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: I find myself going out into the woods when I

433
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: was supposed to be hunting, and I find myself spending

434
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: more time discussing scripture than actually ever hunting.

435
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 2: I don't even know.

436
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: At one time, we seemed inconvenienced by the deer that

437
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: started showing up. We were kind of like and we

438
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: just kept talking and they were looking at us like

439
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: I was like, just keep eating.

440
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 2: So but anyway, we got into this.

441
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: The angels, you got to understand, they are their own creation, Okay,

442
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: the angels, as we know in scripture and Bible studies

443
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: we have, they're very intrigued by this redemption thing. It's

444
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: extremely intriguing to them. They always are interested when they

445
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: see what God's doing with human beings, and they're always

446
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: wanting to know what's going on and scripture tells us like.

447
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 2: A couple of weeks ago when we did.

448
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: The last conference, I always now think in my mind

449
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: and it really gives me chills when we get down

450
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: to the end and it's the time of response. And

451
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: the reason why if I go out anywhere, I always

452
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: have a response is because, frankly, brothers, the Gospel demands

453
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: a response. I've never seen in scripture that the Gospel

454
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: wasn't preached, that they didn't have demand people responded. Now

455
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: respond to this, And but I'm getting to the point

456
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: now when I get down, I say, no, right now,

457
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: we're going to get down to the time of response.

458
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: When when I think about that, there's a guy that's

459
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: been going through his day.

460
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 2: We talked about this, remember a couple of weeks ago,

461
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 2: and he doesn't.

462
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: Even know this is his day. He doesn't know it.

463
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: Somebody has made him come to this thing. They don't

464
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: even know, or even maybe he's delusional like I was,

465
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: that he's already redeemed. Whatever it is. He's about to

466
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: hear the truth. He's about to be be moved by

467
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. His heart is about to be pricked,

468
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: and he's gonna cry out, what am I supposed to do.

469
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you we have a responsibility to tell them.

470
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: We have a responsibility to tell them. And so when

471
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: we get to this moment, though, I know by studying

472
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: and here it is again, I know, the angels begin

473
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: to move in and say, here we go again, Here

474
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: we go again. We've got we've got people condemned to hell,

475
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: and now we have some that are about to say

476
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: to our Lord and to the savior of the world.

477
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 2: They're about to say, I'm in.

478
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: And the angels love it because they don't. They're not

479
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: in on this. This is something of great intrigue to them.

480
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: God allows these humans who've rebelled against him. He didn't

481
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: do that for the third that left us. There were

482
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: a third of our angels that went with the Lucifer.

483
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,719
Speaker 1: He didn't offer it to them. But for some reason

484
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: he's offering it to these rebellious, frustrating people, and they're

485
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: intrigued by it. And so right now they see all this,

486
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: you know what, they start saying, how long? How long

487
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: is this going to go on? And they start asking

488
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: God how long? And so and so Daniel is seeing this,

489
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: and the answer comes to the question, how long is

490
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: angels are watching every event. I want you to remember this,

491
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: write this down, because I want you to think about this.

492
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: The angels in heaven and the ones that are all

493
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: around us, they watch every single event that's tied to redemption,

494
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: and this event is tied to redemption, and they're into it.

495
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: How long? How long are they going to go be

496
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: in this tribulation? How long is this going to go on?

497
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: And the answer comes quickly, swiftly, A time times and

498
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: then time and a half. Now what does this mean?

499
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: It means three and a half years, That's what it means.

500
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 2: So how does that tie to the tribulation.

501
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: We should know this by now, so we know the

502
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: tribulation is seven years. We know the front half bad,

503
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: not the worst, but we know in the front half

504
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: Israel thinks Anti Christ is good. He's made a peace

505
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: covenant with us, he's entered into a pact. He's a treaty.

506
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: It's all good. He's with us against the rest of

507
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: the world. He's our guy, he's brought peace, we got

508
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: the temple built back.

509
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 2: It's all good.

510
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: And three and a half years into this treaty, what

511
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: does Anti Christ do? He tears it up and throws

512
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: it away, he will not keep it, and then all

513
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: hell on earth breaks loose. Okay, he turns on the Hebrews.

514
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: So that's what Daniel is seeing now. For three and

515
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: a half years, this is going to be ugly. Jesus

516
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: and Matthew twenty four. If it was any longer, none

517
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: of my people would survive it. Okay, three and a

518
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: half years. Uh, the Antichrist is gonna take this pack

519
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: that he has with Israel and it's gonna he's gonna

520
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: he's guaranteeing israel security for seven years. But then the

521
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: treaty marks the beginning of the final week. Remember the

522
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: weeks out of the seventy weeks. We talked about that

523
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: in Daniel nine. Halfway through, he's going to tear up

524
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: the treaty, seize the rebuilt temple in Jerusalem desecrated with

525
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: his image, and we talked about you know, you see

526
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: that in twelve verse one and the Oath of the

527
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: Shining One. Most people believe that when he sees the

528
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 1: one that's above the water, that that's Christ himself preincarnate.

529
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: Three and a half years is all it will take

530
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: to accomplish God's purpose and bring these things to an end,

531
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: And what purpose are we talking about? Scattering of the

532
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: power of the Holy People. We're told now who the

533
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: Holy People, that's the Hebrews in spy of their rebellion.

534
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: God still costs them his people even today. I don't

535
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: want you to think about today. They're small and they're

536
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: scattered today, but they're very powerful. They're still very powerful. Small,

537
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: scattered but powerful. They have rejected Christ. The great tribulation

538
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: will break them, The anti Christ will deceive them. They

539
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: will be brought to the end of themselves. Everything they

540
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: trusted will be taken away. And then, and not until then,

541
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: the Lord will act. So this whole process they're in

542
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: right now is discipline. Okay, it's but ultimately that last

543
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: part of the discipline and.

544
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 2: The tribulation is going to really really crank it up.

545
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: Now.

546
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 2: I want you to think about this. How does that

547
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 2: apply to me? Rick?

548
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you how, and I've been there, and I

549
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,239
Speaker 1: wish it for every one of you. It's not an

550
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: easy process. But the Lord God Almighty, just as he

551
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: does with his people, He'll take every single individual who

552
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: desires to be redeemed, and he will bring us to

553
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: the end of ourselves.

554
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 2: And it can be ugly. It can be ugly, but

555
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 2: it works. It works.

556
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: What do we even find in Jesus talking about the prodigal?

557
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: When did the prodigal finally decide to come home? When

558
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: he came to the end of himself, he went out,

559
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: he was certain taking daddy's money, which, by the way,

560
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: and that culture was basically wishing your daddy was dead.

561
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 2: He should have been killed for it, for disrespecting his

562
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 2: father like that.

563
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: In those times, that was a death sentence to go

564
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: to your dad and say, I want what I would

565
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: get from you when you die, I want it now.

566
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: And his daddy gave it to him, and he went

567
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: out and he spent it, and every everybody who he

568
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: thought loved him, as soon as that money ran out,

569
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: they were nowhere. The Bible tells us they were nowhere

570
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: to be found. He finds himself eating pig slop with

571
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: the pigs, and what does he say, I'd be better

572
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: off to be a servant in my father's house than

573
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: to be where I am right now. And he came

574
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: to the end of himself. He came to himself, and

575
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: nobody repents.

576
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: Until they do.

577
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: Let's just be honest, okay, until we finally look around

578
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: and realize the decisions I've made that you sin over God,

579
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: that's been a mistake because you know, sin starts out

580
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: and you think isn't so bad. I'm sure the prodigal

581
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: son the first few parties, I bet they were great.

582
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: I didn't have a bad experience with sin the first

583
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: time I went down that road. But it's just what's

584
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: the great statement takes you further than you ever want

585
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: to go, leaves you there longer than you ever want

586
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: to stay, and cost you more than you ever want

587
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: to pay. And Satan just love it when we're dumb

588
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: enough to do that, and he just eases us to

589
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: our own destruction. But then God, who always outwits our adversary, says,

590
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna I'm gonna allow you to bring them to

591
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: themselves and then they're gonna repent and you're gonna lose them. Well,

592
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: that's what's going on right here with his own people.

593
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 1: So eight through thirteen is the truth. Okay, look at Daniel.

594
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: Don't you just love Daniel? I heard, but I did

595
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: not understand. Just think about that? Does that make you feel?

596
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: Those are those moments where you go, Okay, So Daniel's

597
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: just a man, do you, Because sometimes I think these

598
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: biblical heroes, we start thinking, well, they have something we

599
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: don't have. They got they got a little something, you know,

600
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: like John the Baptist. I mean, no man born of

601
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: a woman is greater than John, but just the smallest

602
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: in the Kingdom of Heaven can be greater than John.

603
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: And you go, well, John just had something I don't have.

604
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 1: Why did John send his followers to ask Jesus if

605
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: he was still the if he.

606
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 2: Was the one.

607
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: He'd already told everybody that Jesus was the one. He

608
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: was certain that Jesus was the one. But then he

609
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: finds himself in jail about to get his head cut off,

610
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: and Jesus doesn't go get it. Anybody thinks Jesus couldn't

611
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: take John the Baptist out of jail. We know that

612
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: an angel win got Peter one time because why God

613
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: said not this time.

614
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 2: Now you're gonna die later, but not today. James is dead,

615
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 2: You're not, let's go.

616
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: So he's in control of all of it, and John,

617
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: showing that he's just the man, sends some of his

618
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: former followers to ask.

619
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 2: Jesus, what I did get this right? Didn't I?

620
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: See, he's just a man. Hey, my cousin's not coming

621
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: to get me, and John knows that he can. So

622
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: even the great John the Baptist had to say in

623
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: a moment, I don't understand why you just come get me?

624
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: Do you ever feel that way? Have you ever been

625
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: Daniel and say, I just don't understand all this, And

626
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: God just says, you just gotta have faith that I'm

627
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 1: telling you the truth. Right, But what did Jesus wouldn't

628
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: even speak to anybody about John the Baptist. When Harry

629
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: tried to tell me more about I'm intrigued about John,

630
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: he wouldn't even speak to him. Jesus was infuriated that

631
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: John had to be slaughtered because of sin and the

632
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: falling creation, but he knew that John had done his

633
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 1: job and his reward was in heaven. John never looked

634
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: for a reward on earth. He never asked for anything

635
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: except to be true to being the voice that cries

636
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: in the wilderness and here comes Messiah. He did his job,

637
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: but at the end of it all, he was still

638
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 1: a human like we all would be going, Oh no,

639
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: the next thing for me is being a martyr. I

640
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: want to be sure I got this right, And he said,

641
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: you go back and tell John that everything that's supposed

642
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: to happen is happening. He did his job, and there's

643
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,919
Speaker 1: no man born of a woman this greater than John.

644
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: And then they cut his head off. You okay with that?

645
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: Are you okay to be completely obedient to Jesus? And

646
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: Jesus even say, well done. You are going to receive

647
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: incredible rewards. You did everything I asked you to do.

648
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,479
Speaker 1: So what happens now they're going to cut.

649
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 2: Your head off.

650
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 1: They didn't cut his head off because he did anything wrong.

651
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: They cut his head off because he did everything right.

652
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 2: Right.

653
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: Anybody, everybody ever had a hard time because you did

654
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: everything right. And I've also had a hard time because

655
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: did everything wrong. But I mean, but anyway, all right,

656
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: So here's Daniel, and Daniel just says, I don't understand this.

657
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: Then I said, oh lord, oh my lord, what shall

658
00:37:58,680 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: be the outcome.

659
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 2: Of these things?

660
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: That shows you we have the Jesus preincardinate Jesus, go

661
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: your way, Daniel for the words, or shut up and

662
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: sealed until the time of the end, many shall purify

663
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: themselves and make themselves white and be refined. But the

664
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: wicked shall act wickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand,

665
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: but those who are wise shall understand. And from the

666
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and

667
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: the abomination that makes desolateness set up, there shall be

668
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: one thousand, two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he

669
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: who waits and arrives at the one thousand, three hundred

670
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: and thirty five days. And I'll save the last verse

671
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: because it'll be a great ending for us. So Daniel,

672
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: which God is not afraid of. Okay, guys, God's not

673
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: afraid of our questions. Daniel says, Lord, I don't understand

674
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: any of this. How's all this going to work out?

675
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 1: I don't follow this. I don't understand the church. I

676
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: don't understand the tribulation. I don't understand this, these empires.

677
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: I can understand that. I've seen some of that. I

678
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 1: can see how that's going to happen. This I don't understand.

679
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: And he's told that he should not fear the future,

680
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: that he should just trust God. Somebody write that down.

681
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: Don't fear the future, just trust me, So he says.

682
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 1: Many will think that this, you know, they'll think themselves wise,

683
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: But Daniel, they're only going to turn out to be fools.

684
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 2: They're wicked. And this is the.

685
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: Beauty of the tribulation, and is the beauty of all difficulty.

686
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: The tribulation is going to separate the wise from the wicked.

687
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: You're going to see wise people who will finally repent

688
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: and acknowledge the Messiah that I'm sending. But you're also

689
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: going to see people that just will not repent. Does

690
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: it ever blow your mind when we study the revelation,

691
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: how much has happened and people just dig in and

692
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: they will not repent, he says, And you'll find out

693
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: that those people are wicked, but you'll see some people

694
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: that'll be wise. And then he says, this is gonna

695
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: happen when verse eleven and twelve. These are going to

696
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: be in the future. Now, what is this one thy

697
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty days. It's going to begin when

698
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: Anti Christ seizes the temple. It will end the ceremonial

699
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: worship you see that mentioned. That'll all be over when

700
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: Anti Christ takes that over, and it will end this

701
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: one two hundred and sixty days with the return of Christ.

702
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: Now we don't know about these extra two and a

703
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: half months that follow thirty dayish.

704
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 2: Here's some of the theories on this.

705
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: Will after Jesus gets everything done, will it take about

706
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,439
Speaker 1: a month to clean everything up, get everything in order?

707
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: You know, before we get to the millennial Kingdom. Is

708
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: there some just some work we got to get done.

709
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:00,439
Speaker 1: It's gonna take about their days.

710
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 2: Nobody really knows. They go back and forth. But here's

711
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 2: the deal.

712
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: The reason why it says blessed are those that get

713
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: to the one thousand, three hundred and thirty five that's

714
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: the millennial rain. And what Daniel's being told is it

715
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: would really be blessed if somehow you could just skip

716
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: that tribulation and skip that one than two hundred ninety

717
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: days and just get to the one thousand, three hundred

718
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: thirty five day day, which will be the millennial Kingdom.

719
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 1: And then, of course, as we know now, the millennial

720
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: Kingdom is very, very interesting. It's a time called blessed.

721
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: But it is an interesting time because we remember our

722
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: study of the Revelation, the false Prophet and the Antichrist,

723
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: they've gone into the lake of fire, but not Satan.

724
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: Satan is put in the abyss, he is he's put

725
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: in a holding pattern for a thousand years.

726
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 2: He's not gone yet.

727
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 1: So what we have there in all this mess, which

728
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: could be the thirty days, Jesus will now rule on

729
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: the post tribulation earth. We're not to the new Heaven

730
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: and the new Earth yet, and he will rule that

731
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 1: this particular world, this one right here, for a thousand years,

732
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: to show everybody what it could have been like if

733
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 1: we simply had not rebelled against God. This is how

734
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: it could have been for a thousand years. Now we

735
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: know in that thousand years some people walked out of

736
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: the tribulation because they repented during the tribulation, they weren't martyred,

737
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: they survived it. So they now walk into the millennial

738
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: kingdom still with their human bodies. Okay, now they're redeemed,

739
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: so they're not going to lose their justification. But we

740
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: know it tells us for a thousand years, they're going

741
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: to produce generations of children who are born with a

742
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: sin nature who haven't been redeemed.

743
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 2: So then that's why.

744
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: You see where Satan gets released again and people go

745
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: with him. I want you to know that there are

746
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: people in the future. This may not surprise you. I

747
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: found myself to be quite rebellious against God in my

748
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: sin nature. There are people in the future that will

749
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 1: live in perfection with the benevolent King and will still

750
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: reject him as Messiah when Satan comes out and deceives

751
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: them again. Now, don't ever look at the Millennial Kingdom

752
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 1: and think people lose their redemption. No, these are people

753
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: never been redeemed. They have to make a choice. They

754
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: were born of the people who still have a sin nature,

755
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: and there's generations of them. And of course when they

756
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: reject Jesus for the second time, he just gathers everybody

757
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: together and brings fire down from heaven and destroys them.

758
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: And then from there we enter into the new Heaven

759
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: and the New Earth, and no more rebellious people are around.

760
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: And you know, there's been many time I've go why

761
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 1: in the world would Jesus just put Satan? Why didn't

762
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: he throw him in the lake of fire before the

763
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: Millennial Kingdom. Well, because we have this issue of these

764
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: people that are being born to these people that still

765
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: have a sin nature. And you know what God has

766
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: learned from the Guard of Eden. I'm not doing this

767
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 1: again with people I can't trust, So I'm gonna test

768
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: him one more time, and the ones that don't pass

769
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: the test, I'm not gonna put up with him for

770
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: the rest of my life, for the rest of the time,

771
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: for eternity. I'm only bringing people in that I can trust,

772
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: those that have been fully redeemed and fully.

773
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:38,919
Speaker 2: Righteous in my son.

774
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: So that's what Daniel has has looked at, and he

775
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: has seen all that he doesn't fully understand it. But

776
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: then to wrap up our study of Daniel, I think

777
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: verse thirteen is just beautiful.

778
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 2: I just love it.

779
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: So here's the last words to Daniel who's been through

780
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: so much.

781
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 2: He's just been through so much. But you.

782
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:12,240
Speaker 1: But go your way to the end, and you shall

783
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: rest and shall stand in your allotted place.

784
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 2: At the end of the days. And then Daniel just ends.

785
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 2: So what's going on here? Rest for the prophet?

786
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: I love the fact that this God, who is the

787
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: God of the universe, you know, these people that are

788
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: so difficult to tolerate, who are obsessed with life and

789
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: other places.

790
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 2: I don't understand why the universe is so vast. Why

791
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 2: would it be so vast.

792
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:49,760
Speaker 1: Maybe God just needs the room, maybe he's just that big.

793
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: But in this moment, the beginning in the end is

794
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: talking one on one with one man.

795
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 2: He's just talking to Daniel.

796
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: It'll be for others, but right now this is just

797
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 1: for you. I want to assure you. Your people are

798
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: going to be refined. We'll get to the end of it.

799
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:14,919
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something, Daniel. You may think

800
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 1: all this is falling apart. You just continue on your way. Hey, Daniel,

801
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: empires are going to rise and fall. Christ is going

802
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 1: to come, only.

803
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 2: To be crucified.

804
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 1: The ages will pass, anti Christ will come, the Messiah

805
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,760
Speaker 1: will come again, and you know what he's being told.

806
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 2: Daniel.

807
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: You're going to rest in death, but you will stand

808
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 1: at the resurrection. You'll rest in death, You've done your job.

809
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 1: It's very similar John the Baptist, before we ever had

810
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: John the Baptist. But you'll stand in the resurrection. You'll

811
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: receive your lot, your inheritance, you will enter into your reward,

812
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: You'll have your share of glories.

813
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 2: But that is yet to come. Just go on your

814
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 2: way and trust me.

815
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: Let's all enjoy that a minute, because he could say

816
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: the same thing to.

817
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 2: Any of us. I know you get weary. I do too.

818
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 2: I get weary. Sometimes I'm decided let's just let's take

819
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 2: this thing now.

820
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: But I trust in the Lord that these things will happen.

821
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: These things are to come. It is going to be resolved.

822
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: Will I see it, I don't know. But here's what

823
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: I know. If this body dies, I'll rest and I

824
00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: will be raised in the resurrection, and I will receive

825
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 1: my reward, and I will be in this glory, and

826
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: I will be part of the new heaven and the

827
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: new Earth, and I will be in the presence of

828
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 1: the Lord forever. That I know, whenever it happens. But

829
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: I he hasn't told me when it's going to happen.

830
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what's next. You know, some of us didn't.

831
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: I mean you have you have to when you look

832
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: at I think about our study of the New Testament,

833
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,879
Speaker 1: and I think that all the apostles except one didn't

834
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: know when they were going to die, so they thought

835
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,760
Speaker 1: they may see the return of Christ in their lifetime.

836
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 2: Peter knew you wouldn't. Jesus told him he wouldn't.

837
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 1: You remember when he pulls them off by himself and says, now, look,

838
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: there's them to come a day for you where people

839
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: are going to take you where you don't want to go,

840
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: but I'll be with you. And when Peter wrote second

841
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: Peter would he say, the Lord has to me that

842
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: my time is near, But I don't know about any

843
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: of you. I haven't been told that, so I don't

844
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 1: know what my time is. God loves me enough not

845
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: to tell me what my time is, because I know

846
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 1: that I still have a sin nature, and if I

847
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: knew what my time is, i'd probably manage it a

848
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: certain way.

849
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,919
Speaker 2: But see what I know now is that he looks

850
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 2: at me and he.

851
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: Just says his words. Don't be irresponsible. He's not saying

852
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 1: being irresponsible, he said, but be real careful talking about

853
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,439
Speaker 1: all the things. You're gonna do what you should say

854
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 1: if the Lord allows, because you're not promised tomorrow. Rick

855
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: and I love when Jesus says, this today has all

856
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 1: the trouble you need concentrate on now, but always knowing

857
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: that it all will be resolved. And then Jesus says

858
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: to us today, but until then, just go on your

859
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: way and keep doing and saying what I told you.

860
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: What is the disciple? One who says what Jesus says

861
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: to say, and one who does what Jesus says to do.

862
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:19,479
Speaker 1: And that's our assignment until it ends. Let's pray, Lord,

863
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: thank you for today, thank you for just the power

864
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: of this message. I know I'm probably like the people

865
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: that are with us right now, the men in the room.

866
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 2: For sure.

867
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: I look forward to meeting Daniel. I can't imagine that

868
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: this day is coming where I can walk over to

869
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: Daniel and say, we studied about you. It's nice to

870
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 1: meet you. Walking over to John and saying we talked

871
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 1: about when you were in prison. Tell me what that

872
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: was like. Walking over to Peter and saying, so you

873
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 1: knew that you were going to die your earthly death

874
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: before Christ returned?

875
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 2: How was it to hear that?

876
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,919
Speaker 1: And knowing that even if somebody said to us, any

877
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: of these people and all the others, what's a long story?

878
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 2: We can confidently say we got time. All we have

879
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 2: is time. We no longer answer to time. We're in

880
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 2: the presence of the Lord, and everything is perfection. On

881
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 2: our tough days, many people right now having a tough day.

882
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 2: May that give us peace. In your holy name, we

883
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 2: pray Amen, thanks for being with us.
