It changed my life. It was over thirty 35 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: years ago and there's still a third part of it 36 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: yet to be fulfilled. And this thing affects every single 37 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: one of us. Hello, friends, I'm Troy Brewer and I'm 38 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: the senior pastor here at Open Door Church in burs Some, Texas. 39 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: And on today's episode, guys, we're going to be looking 40 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: at something from the past, the present, and also the future, 41 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: something prophetic you're gonna love this. This is the open 42 00:02:32,480 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: door experience. I'll stand in well, welcome my friends, call 43 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: you guys blessed. I'm gonna be talking about a very 44 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: serious subject to nine, but I'm gonna get into it. 45 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you something biblically that's really, really, really serious, 46 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: because there are times when God shows up and says 47 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: the party is over. And this is a big deal 48 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: when you know it. Now, I prefer you know, not Moses. 49 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: He shows up, touches the water, it turns into blood, 50 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: and that is the party is over. I prefer Jesus, 51 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,119 Speaker 1: and he shows up, touches the water, turns into wine. 52 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: It says a party is own. Right, There's a big 53 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: difference between Moses and Jesus, and it's the difference between 54 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: the ministry of law and grace. Until you get all that, 55 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: but I also want to say, even in the midst 56 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: of this great day of grace that you and I 57 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: live in, and guys, we need to understand grace. We 58 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: need to love grace, We need to know how grace 59 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: is all about. People are critical of that, and I 60 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: do not care. I really truly don't. People you seem 61 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: like to me you got like a mega grace message. Well, 62 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: I don't know a minimal grace message. There's nothing minimal 63 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: about what King Jesus has done for me. Nothing, absolutely nothing. 64 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: And either I'm in or I'm out. And if you're in, 65 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: but you say I'm in until I can't control you, 66 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: and then I'm out, go away. Amen. And that's why 67 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: people who hate grace are all about. They tend to 68 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: be fifty pound heads who are like you know, I 69 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: know a better way for you to live, and they're 70 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: just going to control you. And that's what they want. 71 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: Try and control this, brother, it ain't gonna happen. And 72 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: that's why I don't control anybody else. I'm not a 73 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: control freak. I'm a Jesus freak. Amen. There's only one 74 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: place in the body of King Jesus for control, and 75 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: it's called self control. It's a fruit of the Holy Spirit. 76 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: And the devil has none whatsoever. He has no self control, 77 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: which makes me so happy. That means if he don't 78 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: want to get mad, he still has to get mad. 79 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: If he doesn't want to get frustrated, he still gotta 80 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: get frustrated. Dude. I like that, I do. It makes 81 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: me happy to think I could make the devil upset, 82 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: like man, I hope I get on his nerves. Man, 83 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: you do know the hell I'll talk about you, right, 84 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: you know you're actually supposed to be famous in hell. 85 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: Everybody like, no, I want to stay if Hell's radar. 86 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: Oh no, I don't, no, no, no. Bible says that 87 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to these guys, this guy by the 88 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: name of Skeeva. Skeeva had him seven brothers, he had 89 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: him seven sons, and they decided, hey, man, they're gonna 90 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: learn the magic words, and they got fifty pound heads, 91 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: and they're gonna come in and control the environment and 92 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: control the situation because they're religious, and that's what religious 93 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: people do, is they control and everything. So they thought 94 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: that would work on the devil. And they showed up 95 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: to this brother who is possessed with the devil, and 96 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: they say, okay, now, in the name of this extra 97 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: gold Cross, and in all of my doctorates and all 98 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: of the letters that followed my name, in the name 99 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: of Jesus, and in the name of Jesus that Paul preachers, 100 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: you gotta do what we tell you. And that devil 101 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: looked at those seven boys and said, I've heard all 102 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: about Jesus. I've heard all about Paul, but I've never 103 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: heard about you. In other words, Jesus is famous in Hell, 104 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: Paul is famous, and Hell, we never heard of you. 105 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: And then the Bible says not long after that, see 106 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: we get a biblical version of what happened, and it 107 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: just cuts to the chase and gives us the g 108 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: rated version that says, and they left their neked and wounded. Yeah, yikes. 109 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: He's like, oh, no, no, no, you don't have any 110 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: control here. It's always shocking to religious people when they 111 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: find out they cannot control something. Man, I don't know 112 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: if you guys are in a good mood tonight, Like, 113 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: if I'm talking to a bunch of religious people, I'm 114 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: sorry to hurt your feelings, but if you know what 115 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: I'm talking about, just say that's what I'm talking about, right, 116 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: because it's the truth. It is absolutely the truth. And guys, 117 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: we just don't have time for it anymore, we really don't. 118 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: So I'm a grace guy, and I am a non 119 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: controlling guy. I am let's go, let's go, let's go guy. 120 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: I really and truly believe that in the New Testament 121 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: you have a green light until God gives you a 122 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: red light. In the Old Testament, you have a red 123 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: light until God gives you a green light. That's illustrated 124 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: in the wilderness. You can't move unless you see God move. 125 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: But once they went into the Promised Land, he said 126 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: go until I tell you to stop. And God defied 127 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: those borders. But man, you got a big green light 128 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: until God gives you a red light when it comes 129 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: to your new covenant in Jesus. Now that I've said 130 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: all that, let me just tell you that there are 131 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: times in the midst of you walking with God and 132 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: in the midst of things, and you're just going about 133 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: your business, doing your things. God shows up and says, 134 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: I'm not fooling you have crossed the line and he 135 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: will do that. And you're like, well, I don't even 136 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: recognize this Lord, I don't even know what the heck 137 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: is going on. I'm going to tell you what's going on, 138 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: and I'm not playing with you. You've crossed this line 139 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: and you better not crossed it again. You'd better heed 140 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: the warning of the Lord. When the Father shows up 141 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: like that, like, well that's just too hard for me, 142 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: that's crazy, that that's too hard for anybody. You know why, man, 143 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: I've I've got seven grandkids, and my seven grandkids are 144 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: intentionally I've intentionally made them all spoiled brats because I 145 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: want to torment their parents, which are my kids, and 146 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: in righteous retribution for the hell that they put me through. Hallelujah, 147 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus, I will tell you this though, Man, 148 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: when my kids are growing up, I actually I actually 149 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: felt like men, my kids have got to be somebody. 150 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: They have to accomplish certain goals, certain things have to happen, 151 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: certain things can never happen with my grandkids. I just 152 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: feel like I've got to be somebody. And I like 153 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: that transition because my grandkids only know me as this guy. 154 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: You know, they only know me as the papa that 155 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: so many other people know. You know, they didn't know 156 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: us the way they didn't. They don't know me the 157 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: way that my kids knew me growing up. You know, 158 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: they didn't. They didn't know me in my twenties. You know, 159 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: Megan knew me in my teams. My oldest daughter did. 160 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: So It's like, man, they have known me like that, 161 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: they know me like this, and I just want to 162 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: be that cool guy to them. It's really good. But 163 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: I want to tell you this. Recently, I was in 164 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: a swimming pool with several of my grandkids and we 165 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: were all planning and we were having a good time, 166 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: and one of my grand boys clocked me with a 167 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: ball bat in the face. And I'm talking about clocked me, okay, 168 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: just because he's little and we were having fun and 169 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: he just thought it'd be funny to not me unconscious. 170 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: And that's how you think when you're a little Okay. 171 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: I didn't get mad and didn't get upset. I was 172 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: already being rough with them, and it was like, oh, 173 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: game on Pyle. You know. It's like, oh, I didn't 174 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: even see it coming. And someone nose was bleeding, and 175 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, look, here's the deal. We don't hit 176 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: Papa in the face with a ball bat. And this 177 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: is a papa rule. Okay, let's I'll talk about papa rules. 178 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: We don't hit Papa in the face with a ball bat. 179 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: And then I'm gonna tell you. He laughed, and then 180 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: he clocked me again. And then we came to a 181 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: Daniel chapter five moment where the writing began on the 182 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: wall and I was like, okay, I'm not playing. Now 183 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: you're about to see a different side of me that 184 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: you have ever ever seen before. If you hit me 185 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: with that ball bat again, I've given you two and 186 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: it ain't gonna happen. And he's like started crying because 187 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: I had to bring my wrath down and say, Okay, 188 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: now this is serious business. We ain't doing this anymore. 189 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: God Almighty is a good father, and he will still 190 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: do that with you. I mean, it doesn't matter. It 191 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: doesn't matter how old you are, it doesn't matter how 192 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: good your walk is. Man, you need to allow listen. 193 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 1: You are a child of God, and he chasens his children, 194 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: and he will step in and just go, okay, you 195 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: cross the line here. And I'm not playing that. I'm 196 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: not playing with you on that anymore. And I think 197 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: a lot of people that are new to the Grace 198 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: message don't understand this. And I think that a lot 199 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: of people that understand this do not understand the Grace message. 200 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: And all of it is part of knowing God as 201 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: a daddy. And it's because we have a daddy generation 202 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: that people don't understand this. So we got to help 203 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: each other and we got to teach each other. Right. 204 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: So I was just I was just mentioned in Daniel 205 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: chapter five, and Daniel chapter five is such a great place. 206 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: I love Daniel chapter five. If you guys have your Bible, 207 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: please open it up to Daniel chapter five, and Daniel, 208 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: who is absolutely amazing. He's walking with God, He's done 209 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: incredible things. And there's actually a great transition of power 210 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: from the Meads to the Persians, and it's actually taking 211 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: place here. I want you to know that not very long, 212 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: at about four hundred BC, the Prince of Greece showed 213 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: up by the name of Alexander the Great. It happened 214 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: a long time after this book was actually written, and 215 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: he did show up exactly as I mean, Gabriel knewall 216 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: was next in line. It was already in the experience, says, Okay, 217 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: now that we've dealt with this Persian and by the way, 218 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: they're falling. Now, okay, this whole empire, the me right, 219 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: this whole thing. You know, you got the Babylonians, you 220 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: got the Meads, and you got the Persians, and then 221 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 1: you have the Greeks come in, and then from the 222 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: Greeks you have the Romans. Right, it's good, guys, just 223 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: to learn the succession of these empires and how God 224 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: moves in the midst of all those things. I actually 225 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: liked the progression of things. I like understanding seasonal things 226 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: and moadems. So this guy is in there, and you 227 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: need to know that while Daniel is there, he's going 228 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: through this transition of power. In Daniel, Chapter five shows 229 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: the night that it went from one kingdom to another kingdom, 230 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: and it has to do with the grandson of Nebuchadnezzar, 231 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: and he's in there. Now. These Babylonian jokers, they were 232 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: no joke. They were into human zoos, the very first 233 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: zoo that there ever was. So let me let me 234 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: back up. If you've ever heard about one of the 235 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: great ancient wonders, the hanging gardens, Nebuchadnezzar's hanging gardens was 236 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: because they were so into they were so into collecting 237 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: things that they literally had this incredible place of plants 238 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: from all of the world and they figured out how 239 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: to make them live in the Iraqi desert and it's 240 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: like you could go there and like, yeah, you see 241 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: this plan here that comes from Texas and we wiped 242 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: them out. You see that plan right there that comes 243 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: from Mexico and by the way we've wiped them out. 244 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: We just collected their finest plants and flowers, and that's 245 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: called the hanging gardens. Right on. We also had a 246 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: human zoo, and the Bible describes the human zoo as 247 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: whenever Nebuchadnezzar would actually conquer another nation, he would collect 248 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: people from royalty. But they had to be good looking, 249 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 1: they had to be bright, they had to be smart, 250 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: they had to be super educated. Then he would kill 251 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: everybody else and the people didn't kill, haul them off 252 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: into slavery, and then he would move thills captured people 253 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: from the royalty of the nation that he had actually conquered. 254 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: He would move them into his palace as part of 255 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: a human zoo, so that when you showed up to 256 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: his house, he'd say, hey, man, you see this guy Daniel. 257 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: Come hereybody, and he's like, yes, he'd come and he said, Daniel, 258 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: see this is Daniel, and his family was royalty of 259 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: a group of people that's called Hebrews. These these are 260 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: the Hebrew species, and I'm God over all them and 261 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: look at how beautiful they are, and look how cool 262 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: they are, and then they were super smart. Hang around 263 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: these cats per Fetek dude, they're awesome to have. And 264 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: they made Daniel a part of a human zoo. Do 265 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: you know that. I can just imagine the stories that 266 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: that he must have told in front of Daniel to 267 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: other kings that he was threatening him. Hey, your kids 268 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: will end up in my zoo if you don't do 269 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: what I tell you to do. Hey man, you guys 270 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: tracking with me, and I can hear one of those stories. 271 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: Oh man, I gotta tell you about I gotta tell 272 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: you about this dude's uncle or whatever he was to Daniel, 273 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: which I don't know. But this guy by the name 274 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: of Hazekaia, it's not the famous Hazekai. It's just another 275 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: guy by the name of Hezekiah. And here's the deal. 276 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: I caught him and I drug him out here and 277 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: his two sons, and I tell him, hey man, you 278 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: better give every kingdom. He wouldn't do it. He decided 279 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: to you know. Oh, he thought he was tough. Oh 280 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: I went in here. Here's the lesson. I'll tell him. 281 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: I brought him by the way here and it was 282 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: a good day. I walked out there, told him I 283 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: was God, and then I said, take a good look 284 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: at your boys. And then I slid his boy's throat 285 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: in front of him, and then I poked out his 286 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: eyes so that the last thing he would ever see 287 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: was his boys being murdered. That is in the Bible. 288 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: I want to tell You're like, well, I don't okay. 289 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: God only shows up like that in the Old Testament. 290 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, even though I'm a grace guy, and 291 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: I am a Jesus guy, and i am a lover 292 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: of Jesus guy, and I'm a passionate father God guy, 293 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm telling you God will show up sometimes with a 294 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: word of judgment, and the proverbial riding on the wall 295 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: takes place. Some people see the writing, but some people 296 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: see the hand amen. And so this principle is so real. 297 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: This thing is so real. I'm gonna tell you I 298 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: saw something one time back in the nineteen eighties that 299 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: was the equivalent of this. For me. I've seen some 300 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: scary things in the Lord, and I've seen some scary 301 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: things in the world. And there've been some times where 302 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: I've really been scared. And I don't like to be scared. 303 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: I don't enjoy being scared. I don't entertain myself, and 304 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: things that scare me I do stuff that exhilarate me. 305 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: That's what I do, and I don't like to be scared. 306 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: Some people do. Some people think it's a lot of 307 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: fun to be scared. I don't. Now, I don't mind 308 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: scaring other people. I think that's funny, but I don't 309 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: want to be scared. So I'm gonna tell you the 310 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: story and tell you that this is a prophetic story. 311 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: It's a vision. And whenever you say it, whenever you 312 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: tell somebody you saw a vision or God told you something, 313 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: you run the risk of people thinking that you think 314 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,239 Speaker 1: that you're hyper spiritual. And I do not think this 315 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,360 Speaker 1: as a matter of fact. When I'm about to tell 316 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: you is I wasn't looking for this. Just like that 317 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: night that Belshazzar was in there, they were having a party, 318 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: they were doing their own thing, and God showed up 319 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,239 Speaker 1: out of nowhere and this amazing prophetic thing happened and 320 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: one thing shifted to another. I actually had that happen 321 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 1: to me, and it was a tremendous word of judgment. 322 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: It was not a word of judgment against me, Praise God, 323 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 1: but it was something that God wanted me to see, 324 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: knowing that I was going to have years later, a worldwide, 325 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: global platform to speak. And at the time that this happened, 326 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: I was barely not a teenager. I was in my 327 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: lower twenties. I'm fifty five years old now, so I've 328 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: been carrying this word for a long long time. And 329 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: I can also tell you that whenever this event was 330 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: over with, I went and told my pastor, Pastor Jim Maxwell, 331 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: who is still my pastor to this day. One of 332 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: the finest examples of a human being I've ever come 333 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: across in my whole life. It just loved him so much, 334 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: and he said, you gotta get up and you got 335 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: to preach that. And I stood up behind his pulpit 336 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: on Sunday morning, and it was the very first message 337 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: I ever preached that I didn't have a guitar in 338 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: my hand. I had led worship and done stuff all 339 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: over the place and preached a lot with a guitar. 340 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: But it's the very first time I turned, the very 341 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 1: first time in my life that I got up and 342 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: looked at a live, thriving congregation and went the Lord 343 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: God spoke to me, and I have to tell you 344 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: what he told me. Now. Yeah, I've thought about that 345 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: recently and haven't ever thought about it before recently that 346 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: that's kind of like if it's my first message, then 347 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: it's a big deal, and it's still a big theme 348 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: in my life. Amos chapter three, verse seven, a real 349 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: famous scripture says, surely the Lord God will do nothing 350 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: unless he reveals his secrets to his servants, the prophet, 351 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: the prophets, so the prophetic realm and all of us 352 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: in here can operate in the prophetic realm. You do 353 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: not have to be a prophet to operate in the 354 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: prophetic anymore than you have to be a pastor to 355 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: be able to teach somebody or lead and feed somebody. 356 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: So there's the operation in these kinds of gifts, and 357 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: then there's the actual office of it. But God, I 358 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: want to just tell you this God of money reveals 359 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: secrets prophetically. Y'all know that. Do you believe that? Okay, 360 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: there's another famous scripture and I want to just tell you, 361 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: like like like prophetically, when nine to eleven happened, and 362 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: it's tie actually tied into all this, there's a scripture 363 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 1: that is Amos nine to eleven. And as soon as 364 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: that happened, as soon as all that happened, I went, Okay, 365 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: I know that this is actually a nine to eleven thing. 366 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: It has to do with Amos nine eleven, and I'll 367 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: revisit that in a little bit. I'm just gonna get 368 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: past all these scriptures here, and I'm just going to 369 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: get right off into it for the sake of time 370 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: and just tell you that this is what happened. And 371 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: I want to tell you, I really hope that you'll 372 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: believe what I told you. Also will tell you I 373 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: don't blame you if you don't believe me what I 374 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: told you, if this is not in your realm of 375 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: how you hear God speak. But I would also like 376 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: to state this, up until this time happened, Up until 377 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: this happened, I didn't know that God spoke like this. 378 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: Have you ever had God show up in a way 379 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: in your life where you went I didn't know you 380 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: did that. Is there anybody here that's ever done that 381 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: before that God has showed up and really surprised you 382 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: with how He interacted with you and something he said 383 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: or some cool way he said it or something. Go, dude, 384 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: I didn't even know that you did that. Right on, 385 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: I want to tell you if if God has been 386 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: completely predictable to you your entire life. I would encourage 387 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: you to go after him in a different way. And 388 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: like why I'm kind of scared to do that. I 389 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: totally get it, Like, Okay, if you're gonna ask God 390 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: to show up in a radical way, guess what's going 391 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: to happen? Like Okay, well, I don't want any trouble 392 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 1: with God. That's not trouble with God. That's knowing your daddy. 393 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: What amen. If you seek him in a radical way, 394 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: you'll find him in a radical way. And I would 395 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: encourage you guys to continue to go after the Lord. 396 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: So I was going to Fort Worth and I don't 397 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: know what for. I was driving down I thirty five. 398 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: I was heading north mine in my own business. I'm 399 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: probably doing seventy eighty miles an hour like I typically due. 400 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: I'm cruising down the road and I'm doing d to do. 401 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: I had a nineteen seventy four Ford pickup truck that 402 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: I had named Ned Pepper, and Ned Pepper was driving 403 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: me down the road and he's the bad guy in 404 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: true grit. I don't know if y'all know this was 405 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: very helpful information for everybody here watching. I know, and 406 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: I'm driving down the road, mine of my own business. 407 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: Everything is cool. And I went underneath the bridge, and 408 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 1: the bridge is on I thirty five. And from the 409 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: moment that I went underneath this bridge, all of a 410 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 1: sudden everything shifted for me and I had an encounter 411 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: with the Lord, not one I was seeking after, not 412 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: one I was looking for. I was just driving, and 413 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: all of a sudden this thing happened that I'm about 414 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: to tell you, And then I can tell you that 415 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 1: as soon as I came out from underneath the bridge, 416 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: which took him maybe less than a second for me 417 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: to drive underneath the shadow of that bridge, I had 418 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: about a three to four minute encounter with God that 419 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: in real time only took place in probably a second. 420 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: So I had three or four minutes of information given 421 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: to me in a very short amount of time. Am 422 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 1: I still in a safe place? Okay? I'm not hyper spiritual. 423 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: This is not how I mean. I don't know what 424 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: to tell you except for to say this happened. So 425 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: what happened? As soon as I went into the spirit 426 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 1: just driving a boom, I'm no longer aware of me 427 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: driving the car. I am aware of this place, and 428 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: there is a dude standing in front of me that 429 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: kind of like has a hoodie on, and I can't 430 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: really see his face. I'm aware he is an angel. 431 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: He and he never looked me in the eye. He 432 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: was simply looking down at this thing that he was 433 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: holding in his hand. And it was a stick that 434 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: was about this long. It was square. It was a 435 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: square stick, and he was holding it out like this 436 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: right here, this black stick that had four different sides 437 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: on it. And I knew as soon as I saw it, 438 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: I knew it was a measure. It was specifically measured, 439 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: and I also knew that it was a measure of judgment. 440 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: And then then while I was watching he did this, 441 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: he literally grabbed it by the end and he pulled 442 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: it up so that it became twice as long. Guy. 443 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: As he did this, he's like this, and then it 444 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: was twice as long. And then he grabbed it one 445 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: more time and pulled it over again, and it added 446 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 1: an additional third to it. So as soon as I 447 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: saw that, I saw him do this, this prophetic act, 448 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: and I saw it it was like there was hinges 449 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: in the sticks somehow, and he pulled out two other 450 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 1: parts of it, and it was something that was going 451 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: to happen in three different stages, and I knew. I 452 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: just knew all this information, even though nobody had ever 453 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: told me so. As soon as he showed this to me. 454 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: As as this was happening simultaneously, I saw something that 455 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: looked like New York City and New York City. You know, 456 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: this was a dream I had in the eighties. And 457 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: at that time, you know, computer graphics were, you know, 458 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: kind of space invaders. They were. They were just silhouettes 459 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: of things that you could see all the way through, 460 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: do you guys know what I mean? And I saw 461 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: New York City that actually looked like that. You could 462 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: see directly through it. But I could also see a 463 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: line that represented the ground, and I could see below 464 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: the ground, and I could see above the ground, and 465 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: I could see a ground level. I could see what 466 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: was going on below the ground. I see what was 467 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: going on, and I could look at it like this, 468 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: just like you could with a computer. I could go 469 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: around and I could look like that. And then it 470 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: settled in front of me, and all that happened in 471 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: the instant and I knew it was Manhattan. I knew 472 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: it was New York City. And then he's holding this 473 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: thing in front of me, and whenever he held it 474 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: in front of me and I looked at it and 475 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: realized it was a measure of judgment. I saw a 476 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: bomb go off below the ground and none of the 477 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 1: buildings fell. Oh well. Then I saw him take this 478 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: stick and opened it up twice as much. And as 479 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,479 Speaker 1: soon as he did that, I saw above the ground 480 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: a bomb go off in some of the buildings fell. 481 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: And then when he opened up the third different way, 482 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: I saw a bomb go off at ground level and 483 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: all the buildings fell. Well, it got my attention. Now, 484 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: as soon as I'd seen all that and understood that, 485 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: and there was some other information that was with it, 486 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: I came out of it as fast as I had 487 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: gone into it. And I was aware I was driving 488 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 1: and boom. I was out of the shadow of that bridge, 489 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: and I looked in the rear view mirror to go. 490 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: I was just thinking, what's going on? Was happening? And 491 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: I saw it, says Seminary. It was the shadow of 492 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: a place called Seminary. God, it's like I'm taking you 493 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: to schoolboy.
