HE ASKED. 20:29 'I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, NOT ONE STONE HERE WILL BE LEFT ON 20:33 ANOTHER; EVERY ONE WILL BE THROWN DOWN.' 20:36 AS JESUS WAS SITTING ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, THE DISCIPLES 20:41 CAME TO HIM PRIVATELY. 20:43 'TELL US,' THEY SAID, 'WHEN WILL THIS HAPPEN, AND WHAT WILL BE 20:47 THE SIGN OF YOUR COMING AND OF THE END OF THE AGE?'" 20:51 NOW LISTEN CAREFULLY, EVERY PERSON WATCHING ON TELEVISION. 20:52 THIS IS NOT THE WORD OF 20:56 JOHN CARTER. 20:57 THAT DOESN'T MATTER. 20:58 THIS IS THE WORD OF THE CHRIST. 21:02 JESUS SAID JERUSALEM WAS GOING TO BE DESTROYED, AND WHEN JESUS 21:08 GAVE THE PROPHECY OF MATTHEW 24, THE THEOLOGIANS CALL THE LITTLE 21:14 APOCALYPSE, JESUS WAS NOT ONLY DESCRIBING THE END OF JERUSALEM, 21:20 HE WAS DESCRIBING THE END OF THE WORLD, AND OUR DAY, AND OUR AGE. 21:27 JESUS SPOKE TO A CERTAIN GENERATION, AND JESUS SAID 21:32 IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. 21:35 AND THE YEARS WENT BY, AND THE SCOFFERS CAME, AND THEY LAUGHED 21:39 AT THE WORDS OF CHRIST, BUT THE PROPHECY CAME TO PASS. 21:44 WOULD YOU PLEASE NOTICE VERSES 21 AND 31, 21 AND 31, 21:45 DESCRIBING THE OVERTHROW OF 21:53 JERUSALEM, WHICH WAS A TYPE OF THE END OF THE WORLD. 21:57 JESUS SAID, "FOR THEN THERE WILL BE GREAT DISTRESS, UNEQUALED 22:03 FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD UNTIL NOW--AND NEVER TO BE 22:09 EQUALED AGAIN." 22:10 SO BAD. 22:12 "IF THOSE DAYS HAD NOT BEEN CUT SHORT, NO ONE WOULD SURVIVE, 22:17 BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE ELECT THOSE DAYS WILL BE SHORTENED. 22:22 AT THAT TIME IF ANYONE SAYS TO YOU, LOOK, HERE IS THE CHRIST! 22:25 OR, THERE HE IS! 22:27 DO NOT BELIEVE IT. 22:29 FOR FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS WILL APPEAR AND PERFORM 22:35 GREAT SIGNS AND MIRACLES TO DECEIVE EVEN THE ELECT." 22:41 TREMENDOUS MIRACLES ARE GOING TO HAPPEN, DONE BY THE ANTICHRIST, 22:45 "TO DECEIVE, IF POSSIBLE, EVEN THE ELECT. 22:48 SEE, I HAVE TOLD YOU AHEAD OF TIME. 22:52 'SO IF ANYONE TELLS YOU, THERE HE IS, OUT IN THE DESERT, DO NOT 22:57 GO OUT; OR, HERE HE IS, IN THE INNER ROOMS, DO NOT BELIEVE IT. 23:03 FOR AS LIGHTNING THAT COMES FROM THE EAST IS VISIBLE EVEN IN 23:06 THE WEST, SO WILL BE THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN." 23:11 THAT'S JESUS. 23:12 "WHEREVER THERE IS A CARCASS, THERE THE VULTURES WILL GATHER." 23:19 JUST STOP FOR A MOMENT. 23:21 HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A CARCASS? 23:25 I'VE SEEN THE CARCASSES IN AFRICA OUT ON THE PLAIN, AND 23:30 I'VE SEEN THE VULTURES GATHER AROUND THE ROTTING CARCASS. 23:36 JESUS OUR LORD SAID THE WORLD IN THE LAST DAYS, AS IT WAS IN 23:43 THE TIME OF THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM, WILL BECOME A ROTTING 23:49 CARCASS, AND THE BIRDS OF PREY WILL CIRCLE. 23:54 I WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS TODAY. 23:57 I KNOW SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THIS PREACHING, BUT IT'S 24:00 THE TRUTH OF THE BIBLE. 24:04 THE WORLD IS RIGHT NOW BECOMING THE CARCASS, AND THE VULTURES 24:12 ARE CIRCLING OVERHEAD. 24:16 PLEASE READ WITH ME. 24:19 "IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE DISTRESS OF THOSE DAYS THE SUN WILL BE 24:22 DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT; THE STARS WILL 24:26 FALL FROM THE SKY, AND THE HEAVENLY BODIES WILL BE SHAKEN." 24:31 THAT HAPPENS, THE HEAVENLY BODIES BEING SHAKEN. 24:34 THAT'S WHEN JESUS COMES. 24:35 "AT THAT TIME, THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN WILL APPEAR IN 24:39 THE SKY, AND ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH WILL MOURN," 24:43 INCLUDING AMERICA. 24:44 "THEY WILL SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY, 24:49 WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY. 24:53 AND HE WILL SEND HIS ANGELS WITH A LOUD TRUMPET CALL, AND THEY 24:58 WILL GATHER HIS ELECT FROM THE FOUR WINDS, FROM ONE END OF 25:01 THE HEAVENS TO THE OTHER.'" LET ME TALK JUST FOR A BIT 25:07 TODAY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN 70 AD. 25:10 IN 66 AD, 4 YEARS BEFORE THE 25:17 GREAT DISASTER THAT CAME UPON THE JEWISH PEOPLE, 25:21 CESTIUS GALLUS CAME DOWN TO SYRIA TO PUT DOWN AN UPRISING. 25:28 THE JEWS REBELLED AGAINST THEIR CRUEL MASTERS, THE ROMANS. 25:34 IT APPEARED AS THOUGH CESTIUS GALLUS WAS GOING TO 25:38 DESTROY JERUSALEM. 25:40 BUT FOR SOME INEXPLICABLE REASON, THE ARMIES OF ROME 25:47 WITHDREW AND WENT DOWN THE BETH HORON ROAD 25:50 TO THE COAST. 25:51 THE CHRISTIANS LEFT THE SINKING SHIP. 25:56 JESUS TOLD THEM, "WHEN YOU SEE JERUSALEM SURROUNDED BY 26:00 THE ARMIES, THEN FLEE." 26:03 BUT THE ROMANS CAME BACK. 26:06 IN 70 AD, THE ROMANS, UNDER GENERAL--DO YOU KNOW HIS NAME? 26:14 TITUS, HE BUILT A WALL AROUND JERUSALEM-- 26:21 THERE WERE MORE THAN A MILLION JEWISH PEOPLE INSIDE THE CITY OF 26:25 JERUSALEM, BUT NOT A SINGLE CHRISTIAN, BECAUSE THEY HAD 26:30 OBEYED THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY. 26:33 DID YOU KNOW THAT? 26:35 AND THEN THE FIGHTING STARTED INSIDE THE CITY. 26:39 THERE WERE DIFFERENT FACTIONS OF JEWISH LEADERS. 26:42 JOHN OF GISCALA, SIMON BAR GIORA, 26:45 AND THEY FOUGHT AMONG EACH OTHER, AND THEY DESTROYED 26:49 THE WHEAT AND ALL THE FOOD RESOURCES. 26:52 THEY COULD'VE STAYED THERE AND LIVED FOR YEARS ON THE FOOD, BUT 26:56 THEY DESTROYED IT ALL, AND THEN THEY STARTED TO FIGHT EACH 27:01 OTHER, AND THE BODIES WERE SO THICK IN THE STREETS OF 27:06 JERUSALEM, YOU COULD HARDLY WALK DOWN THE STREETS, AND THE 27:11 SOLDIERS, THE JEWISH SOLDIERS TESTED THE SHARPNESS OF THEIR 27:15 SPEARS BY PRODDING THE CORPSES. 27:22 PEOPLE DECIDED, SOME OF THEM, THAT THEY WOULD SURRENDER TO 27:26 THE ROMANS, BUT THEN THE ROMANS DISCOVERED THAT SOME OF THESE 27:30 PEOPLE WERE TAKING THEIR GOLD, AND THEY WERE SWALLOWING THEIR 27:34 GOLD, SO THEY'D HAVE SOME MONEY, SO THEY'D HAVE FINANCIAL 27:38 SECURITY. 27:39 WHEN THE ROMANS DISCOVERED THIS, IN ONE DAY, THEY DISEMBOWELED 27:43 THOUSANDS OF JEWISH PRISONERS, CUT THEIR BOWELS OPEN 27:49 AND FOUGHT FOR THE GOLD. 27:55 IT WAS HELL. 27:59 IN THE SPOT WHERE OUR BLESSED LORD WAS CRUCIFIED--"HIS BLOOD 28:04 BE ON US AND ON OUR CHILDREN," THE PRIESTS HAD CRIED--IN THAT 28:08 VERY SPOT, THE CROSSES WERE SO THICK THAT YOU COULDN'T WALK 28:14 BETWEEN THE CROSSES, THOUSANDS OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO CALLED 28:18 THEMSELVES THE PEOPLE OF GOD WERE CRUCIFIED. 28:23 THE BIBLE SAYS IT WAS A TIME OF TROUBLE SUCH AS THE WORLD HAD 28:28 NEVER SEEN, UP TO THAT TIME, WHEN TITUS ACTUALLY BROKE 28:32 THROUGH INTO THE CITY, AT THE END OF 70 AD, THE RELIGIOUS 28:37 PEOPLE, BY THE THOUSANDS, FLED INTO THE TEMPLE. 28:44 A ROMAN SOLDIER, FILLED WITH RAGE, WENT DOWN TO THE TEMPLE 28:50 WITH A BUNCH OF OTHER ROMAN SOLDIERS, AND HE TOOK A FLAMING 28:54 TORCH, AND HE TOOK THE TORCH, AND HE FLUNG IT INTO THE TEMPLE, 28:59 AND THE CURTAINS WERE ON FIRE. 29:01 TITUS CAME DOWN, AND TITUS HELD UP HIS STAFF, REPRESENTING 29:06 CAESAR. 29:07 HE SAID, "IN THE NAME OF CAESAR, I FORBID YOU TO DESTROY 29:13 THE TEMPLE OF JEHOVAH." 29:19 BUT THE BIBLE SAID JESUS SAID THE TEMPLE WAS GOING TO BE 29:24 DESTROYED, AND THE WORD OF CAESAR IS IMPOTENT WHEN IT COMES 29:29 UP AGAINST THE WORD OF GOD. 29:32 THEN THE ROMANS WENT INTO THE TEMPLE, AND THE GOLD 29:39 WAS MELTING AND RUNNING DOWN THE STEPS LIKE WATER. 29:43 THE ROMANS TOOK OUT THEIR SWORDS AND WADED INTO THE MOB 29:50 AND CUT THEM DOWN. 29:52 THEY DIED BY THE THOUSANDS IN THE SANCTUARY. 29:56 THE BIBLE SAYS NOTHING COULD SPARE THE CITY OF THE PEOPLE OF 30:03 GOD, BECAUSE THEY HAD FORSAKEN THEIR SAVIOR, THE CHRIST 30:09 OF THE CROSS. 30:11 THIS PROPHECY TEACHES THAT WHAT HAPPENED IN JERUSALEM IN 30:18 70 AD--A MILLION JEWS DIED IN THE SIEGE, A MILLION. 30:24 CAN YOU COMPREHEND IT? 30:25 A MILLION PRESSED INTO THAT SMALL CITY. 30:29 JESUS SAID WHAT HAPPENED IN JERUSALEM IN 70 AD IS GOING 30:35 TO BE REPEATED ON A WORLDWIDE SCALE. 30:39 ALLEN WHITE SAID IT'S GOING TO BE WORSE THAN WHAT HAPPENED 30:44 IN 70 AD. 30:47 IT'S GOING TO BE SHORT. 30:49 THANK GOD, IT'S GOING TO BE SHORT. 30:51 JESUS SAID IF THOSE DAYS WERE NOT SHORTENED, NO ONE WOULD BE 30:55 SAVED, BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE ELECT, THOSE DAYS 30:58 WILL BE SHORTENED. 30:59 NOBODY WILL SURVIVE, IF GOD DOESN'T SHOW UP IN A DAY. 31:03 I BELIEVE--AND I KNOW I'M SOMEWHAT A VOICE CRYING IN THE 31:08 WILDERNESS OF THESE MODERN DAYS. 31:10 I BELIEVE WITH ALL MY SOUL THAT WE ARE IN THE TIME WHEN 31:17 THE VULTURES HAVE GATHERED OVER THE ROTTING CORPSE. 31:24 MY MESSAGE IS THIS. 31:26 IT'S GOING TO GET A LOT WORSE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER, 31:30 BUT IT WILL GET BETTER WHEN JESUS COMES. 31:33 IT'S GOING TO GET BETTER, AND GOD'S PEOPLE ARE GOING 31:35 TO BE SAVED. 31:36 GOD'S PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LIVE FOR ETERNITY. 31:39 DO YOU THINK THE DOWNGRADING OF AMERICA'S FAMED CREDIT RATING IS 31:45 A BIG DEAL? 31:47 MY FRIEND, IT IS NOTHING; THEREFORE, WHY WORRY? 31:51 BECAUSE JESUS IS COMING. 31:53 YOU SEE? 31:56 WE WILL NOT FEAR! 32:07 YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED, BUT WE WILL NOT 32:12 FEAR, BECAUSE THE LORD OF HOSTS IS WITH US. 32:17 THE GOD OF JACOB IS OUR REFUGE. 32:19 I WANT YOU TO COME OVER HERE TO LUKE 21, LUKE 21. 32:23 I HAD AN OLD FRIEND BACK IN AUSTRALIA. 32:26 LUKE 21. 32:27 I'VE STILL GOT A FEW FRIENDS THERE. 32:29 LUKE 21:34-36. 32:31 AND HE TOLD ABOUT GOING ALONG TO A CHURCH, AND IN THIS DAY AND 32:35 AGE, THIS TREMENDOUS HOUR, WHAT DID THE PREACHER PREACH ON? 32:39 HE SAID HE PREACHED ON THE BIRDS OF THE BIBLE, TALKED ABOUT 32:44 THE BIRDS OF THE BIBLE. 32:46 IT MADE MY FRIEND SAY--HE SAID, "IF I'D HAD A GUN, I WOULD'VE 32:50 SHOT EVERY ONE OF THEM." 32:53 THIS IS NO TIME TO PREACH ON THE BIRDS OF THE BIBLE, WHEN WE 32:56 STAND ON THE EDGE OF THE 33:00 GREATEST CRISIS IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, YOU SEE. 33:05 AND LOOK AT THESE WORDS OF OUR BLESSED LORD. 33:10 "BE CAREFUL," VERSE 34. 33:13 "SO BE CAREFUL, OR YOUR HEARTS WILL BE WEIGHTED DOWN WITH 33:16 DISSIPATION, DRUNKENNESS AND THE ANXIETIES OF LIFE, AND THAT DAY 33:22 WILL CLOSE ON YOU UNEXPECTEDLY LIKE A TRAP. 33:25 FOR IT WILL COME UPON ALL THOSE THAT LIVE ON THE FACE OF 33:28 THE WHOLE EARTH. 33:29 BE ALWAYS ON THE WATCH, AND PRAY THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ESCAPE 33:34 ALL THAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN, AND THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO 33:37 STAND BEFORE THE SON OF MAN." 33:42 BUT--THANK GOD FOR THE BUTS--IN SPITE OF IMPENDING DISASTER, 33:49 WE WILL NOT FEAR, WE WILL NOT WORRY, BECAUSE GOD IS GOOD 33:55 ALL THE TIME. 33:56 GOD IS FAITHFUL. 33:58 I WANT YOU TO COME HERE TO LAMENTATIONS 3:19 AND ONWARDS, 34:02 LAMENTATIONS 3. 34:04 THAT'S A LITTLE BOOK WRITTEN DURING THE SIEGE OF JERUSALEM, 34:08 THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. 34:10 AND LAMENTATIONS 3:19, I BELIEVE IT IS. 34:17 FROM THIS BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS THAT DESCRIBES THE TERRIBLE 34:21 FAMINE AND THE DEATHS IN JERUSALEM. 34:27 LAMENTATIONS 3:19, "I REMEMBER MY AFFLICTION AND MY WANDERING, 34:31 THE BITTERNESS AND THE GALL. 34:34 I WILL REMEMBER THEM, AND MY SOUL IS DOWNCAST WITHIN ME. 34:39 YET THIS I CALL TO MIND AND THEREFORE I HAVE HOPE: BECAUSE 34:45 OF THE LORD'S GREAT LOVE WE ARE NOT CONSUMED, FOR HIS 34:49 COMPASSIONS NEVER FAIL. 34:52 THEY ARE NEW EVERY MORNING: GREAT IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS." 35:02 WHATEVER HAPPENS, WE WILL NOT BE AFRAID, WE WILL NOT BE 35:06 TERRIFIED, WE WILL NOT WORRY, BECAUSE OF THE FAITHFULNESS 35:10 OF GOD. 35:13 I'M HERE TODAY TO TELL YOU THAT I'VE SEEN THE FAITHFULNESS 35:16 OF GOD. 35:20 I REMEMBER ON ONE OCCASION I WAS IN THE SOUTH OF IRAN, 35:26 AND I HAD TO CROSS OVER THE RIVER EUPHRATES IN 35:29 A LITTLE DINGY, A LITTLE BOAT. 35:33 I WENT DOWN TO THE PORT AT ABADDON, AND I HIRED A LITTLE 35:40 BOAT, WHERE THEY HAD TWO FLAGS: THE IRAQI FLAG 35:43 AND THE IRANIAN FLAG. 35:45 WHEN WE GOT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RIVER EUPHRATES, 35:48 THEY CHANGED THE FLAG. 35:50 THEN WHEN I CAME TO THE SIDE OF THE RIVER, THE IRAQ SIDE, 35:56 I CLIMBED UP THIS MUDDY BANK, AND THERE WAS A LITTLE CUSTOMS 36:00 OFFICE AND AN OLD BROKEN DOWN TAXI, AND I GOT IN THIS TAXI 36:07 AND DROVE FOR HOURS THROUGH THE DESERT. 36:10 THE TAXI BROKE DOWN. 36:13 WE HAD NO WATER. 36:14 IT SEEMED TO TAKE 1,000 YEARS. 36:16 IT PROBABLY ONLY TOOK AN HOUR OR SO. 36:19 WE CAME TO THE CITY OF BASRA, THAT HAS BEEN IN THE NEWS 36:22 BECAUSE OF THE FIGHTING THERE. 36:25 WE FOUND OURSELVES, THREE OF US, THOUSANDS OF MILES FROM HOME IN 36:31 THE MIDST OF A CITY, ALIENATED, CAMELS COMING UP AND DOWN 36:36 THE STREETS, WILD BEDOUIN WITH KNIVES AND GUNS. 36:43 WE STOPPED, AND I SAID, "WE'D BETTER HAVE A PRAYER TOGETHER." 36:47 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSTLE OF BASRA, WE HAD A PRAYER MEETING 36:52 ON THE STREET OF THIS CITY AND SAID, "GOD, HELP US. 36:56 WE'VE GOT NO FRIENDS HERE. 36:58 WE'RE THOUSANDS OF MILES FROM HOME." 37:00 IMMEDIATELY, A MAN DRESSED IN WHITE--NO, I DON'T THINK HE WAS 37:04 AN ANGEL. 37:07 HE WAS A SHEIK, AN ARAB SHEIK. 37:09 HE CAME UP TO US, BEAUTIFULLY DRESSED, LONG, FLOWING WHITE 37:13 ROBES. 37:13 HE SAID, "GENTLEMEN, HOW CAN I BE OF SERVICE TO YOU?" 37:16 HE TOOK US TO A HOTEL, THE ONLY SAFE PLACE IN TOWN. 37:21 I KNOW THAT GOD IS FAITHFUL; THEREFORE, WE WILL NOT FEAR. 37:28 WHY WORRY?
