YOU KNOW, OUR PRESENTATION 06:27 TONIGHT WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THE LESSON EARTH'S 06:32 LAST EMPIRE. AND YES THE BIBLE PROPHECIES DO 06:35 ADDRESS THIS SUBJECT, BUT, YOU KNOW, BEFORE I GET INTO THE 06:38 SUBJECT, WE WOULD LIKE TO GET OUT ON THE STREETS AND WE HAVE 06:41 HAD OUR MEDIA TEAM GO OUT TO SOME MAJOR CITIES AND ASK SOME 06:46 RELEVANT QUESTIONS TO KIND OF GET A TEAL OF WHAT IS THE 06:48 THINKING OUT THERE IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC REGARDING 06:51 PROPHECY AND DREAMS AND ARMAGEDDON AND WELL I WILL LET 06:54 YOU HEAR FOR YOURSELF. ALL THE WAY TRUE. 07:00 THERE ARE 2,000 PROPHECIES THAT CAME TRUE, THE WHOLE COVID 07:05 EPIDEMIC AND SOME OF THE WEATHER SITUATIONS, I THINK WEATHER WITH 07:11 IS AN INDICATOR THAT GOD IS ANGRY. 07:13 >> I THINK NO ONE CAN PREDICT ANYTHING IN FUTURE BECAUSE 07:17 EVERYTHING IS SO RANDOM AND EVERYTHING IS SO LIKE, IT IS 07:21 LIKE IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE WHERE THINGS ARE HEADED TO. 07:23 >> I THINK ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE,S, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, 07:26 IS IT POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE, TO MOVE SOMETHING WITH THEIR MIND? 07:32 POSSIBLY, I CAN'T -- I AM AN AGNOSTIC AND I CAN'T SAY ONE WAY 07:35 OR THE OTHER WHO IS RIGHT OR WRONG BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE 07:38 ANSWERS MYSELF. >> YES. 07:39 IT IS POSSIBLE. LIKE YOU MEAN, COME ON LOOKS 07:42 LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, IF I SAY I AM A -- I AM A DUDE AND -- IN THE 07:50 NEXT MINUTE THAT'S KNOWING THE FUTURE, CORRECT, RIGHT? 07:53 >> ARMAGEDDON OTHER THAN THE MOVIE WILL PROBABLY BE THE END 07:56 OF THE WORLD, ANGELS WILL COME DOWN, THE DEVIL WILL RISE AND IT 08:00 WILL BE THE ANTI-CHRIST VERSUS THE ANGELS. 08:05 >> ARMAGEDDON, LAST DAY, EVERYTHING IS DESTROYED. 08:11 EVERYONE DIES. >> WELL, ARMAGEDDON IS SUPPOSED 08:14 TO BE THE FINAL BATTLE ON THE A PLAINS OF MEGEDDO. 08:21 >> THERE YOU HAVE IT, FRIENDS, YOU SEE THAT THERE IS QUITE A 08:26 DIFFERENCE OF OPINION ON SOME OF THESE BIBLICAL IMPROVE CITY, 08:30 ARMAGEDDON THEMES, AND TONIGHT WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT 08:33 EARTH'S LAST EMPIRE. NOW, IF YOU READ THE BOOK OF 08:37 REVELATION, YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A BATTLE 08:40 BETWEEN TWO CITIES TAKING PLACE IN REVELATION THAT GOES ALL THE 08:43 WAY BACK TO THE BOOK OF GENESIS, IN THE VERY BEGINNING IT TALKS 08:48 ABOUT BABYLON, HAS TALKED ABOUT BABEL BACK THEM AND ALSO TALKS 08:54 ABOUT JERUSALEM BUT IT WAS CALLED SALEM AND THE WORD 08:58 BABYLON IS ACTUALLY MENTIONED, BY THE WAY BABYLON MEANS 09:00 CONFUSION AND YOU CAN TELL FROM SOME OF THE INTERVIEWS OUT THERE 09:03 IS A LOT OF CONFUSION ABOUT BIBLE PROPHECY AND THE END OF 09:06 THE WORLD. BUT THE WORD BABYLON REALLY, IS 09:11 FOUND SEVEN TIMES IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION, JERUSALEM IS ONLY 09:14 FOUND THREE TIMES, KINGDOM IS FOUND SEVEN TIMES ALSO. 09:18 BUT ORDER TO UNDERSTAND HOW BABYLON FITS INTO REVELATION, AS 09:22 I MENTIONED, OUT OF THE 404 VERSES IN REVELATION, TWO78 ARE 09:28 FOUND ALMOST WORD FOR WORD SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE BIBLE. 09:31 SO GOING BACK IN REVELATION, WE CAN SEE, WELL, READING IN 09:35 REVELATION I SHOULD SAY, WE CAN SEE REVELATION 18:21 THUS WITH 09:40 VIOLENCE SHALL THAT GREAT CITY-BABYLON BE THROWN DOWN AND SHALL NOT BE FOUND ANYMORE. 09:46 SEVERAL TIMES NEAR REVELATION IT TALKS ABOUT THE FALL OF BABYLON, 09:49 WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WHO IS BABYLON? 09:51 IT TALKS ABOUT MYSTERY BABYLON IN REVELATION. 09:55 WELL, IF YOU GO BACK IN THE BEGINNING, YOU FIND THE FIRST 09:58 REFERENCE TO BABYLON IN REVELATION -- I AM SORRY, IN 10:01 GENESIS, CHAPTER 10, NIMROD WAS THE ONE WHO FOUNDED THE CITY, 10:05 BUT THEN WE READ IN CHAPTER 11 ABOUT FOLLOWING THE FLOOD, 10:09 THEN WANTED TO MAKE A NAME FOR THEMSELVES, GOD TOLD THEM TO GO 10:14 SCATTER, DISPERSE, BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY BUT THEY 10:19 CONGREGATED INSTEAD THEY WOULDN'T BE DESTROYED WITH 10:21 ANOTHER THE FLOOD THEY SAID A LET'S MAKE A TOWER AND SAVE 10:26 OURSELVES IN CASE WE CAN'T SAVE GOD, SO BABYLON, AND THAT WHOLE 10:30 TOWER BEING CONFUSED AND CONFOUNDED, IT BECAME A SYMBOL 10:34 FOR CONFUSION IN THE BIBLE. IT SAYS THERE ARE ITS NAME IS 10:39 CALLED BABEL BECAUSE THERE THE LORD CONFUSED THE LANGUAGE OF 10:42 ALL ALL THE EARTH AND I TELL YOU THERE IS A LOT OF SPIRITUAL 10:46 CONFUSION IN THE WORLD TODAY. THOUSAND WHEN YOU JUMP AHEAD IN 10:48 THE BIBLE TO THE BACH OF DANIEL, THAT IS WHEN, THAT IS WHEN BACK 10:53 ON REALLY REACHED ITS ZENITH BECAUSE YOU SEE, VERSE WAS 0 10:57 CONQUERED BY NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE SECOND, THIS GREAT KING OF AGE 11:01 SHUNTED BABYLON AND THE PEOPLE WERE CARRIED OFF TO BACK RON, 11:04 AND THEY WERE HELD CAPTIVE THERE, AND SO WHEN IT TALKS 11:08 ABOUT BABYLON CONQUERING GOD'S PEOPLE AND TAKING THEM AWAY, 11:12 THERE IS THIS BATTLE BETWEEN THE PEOPLE OF GOD AND THE KINGDOM OF 11:16 BABYLON WE SEE PLAYING OUT THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES. 11:20 SO MEMBER CAD CZAR'S KINGDOM RAN FROM SIX 12-B C TO 539 BC IF 11:26 YOU, BUT IF YOU GO TO DANIEL CHAPTER 2 IT DESCRIBES THE KING 11:30 HAVING A DREAM, AFTER HIS KINGDOM WAS ESTABLISHED AND 11:35 SETTLED, HE BEGAN TO REALIZE, YOU KNOW, I BUILT THIS UP, BUT 11:39 HOW LONG WILL IT LAST .. AND HE, WHILE HE WAS THINKING ABOUT THE 11:44 FUTURE AND HOW LONG HIS KINGDOM WOULD LAST, THE LORD GAVE THIS 11:49 POWERFUL MONARCH AN INCREDIBLE VIVID DREAM. 11:52 NOW SOME DREAMS ARE JUST THE RESULT OF, YOU KNOW, THE STRANGE 11:54 THINGS THAT HAPPEN DURING THE DAY. 11:57 I KNOW I USED TO PLAY A LOT OF RACQUETBALL BEFORE COVID, I 12:00 PLAYED MORE RACQUETBALL, AND I PLAYED SO MUCH THAT SOMETIMES I 12:04 WOULD BE LAYING IN BED KAREN LAYING NEXT TO ME AND TAKE MY 12:07 ARM AND SWING IT, SHE WOULD SAY, ARE YOU OKAY? 12:10 I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A SHOT IN MY DREAM. 12:13 AND SO, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES DREAMS COME THROUGH THE 12:15 MULTITUDE OF BUSINESS SOLOMON TELLS US BUT SOMETIMES WE HAVE 12:19 DREAMS THAT WERE EXTREMELY REAL AND VIVID. 12:22 MORE LIKE A VISION. THE KING KNEW THERE WAS 12:25 SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS DREAM. 12:28 AND WE ARE GOING TO SHOW YOU WHERE YOU FIND IN THE BIBLE THIS 12:30 DREAM, IT IS FOUND IN DANIEL CHAPTER 2, AND I AM GOING TO 12:33 READ VERSES -- I AM GOING TO READ DANIEL 231-35 THAT 12:40 DESCRIBES WHAT THE KING SAW AND THEN GO BACK AND TALK ABOUT THAT 12:44 STORY. DANIEL CHAPTER 2:31. 12:47 YOU OH KING WERE WATCHING AND BEHOLD A GREAT IMAGE, AND THIS 12:52 GREAT IMAGE ITS SPLENDOR WAS EXCELLENT STOOD BEFORE YOU AND 12:55 ITS FORM WAS AWESOME, THIS IMAGE'S HEAD WAS OF FINEGOLD, 13:00 ITS CHEST AND ARMS WERE SILVER, ITS BELLY AND THIGHS WERE BRONZE 13:05 AND LEGS OF IRON, ITS FEET PARTLY IRON AND PARTLY CLAY, HE 13:10 WATCHED WHILE A STONE WAS CUT WITHOUT HANDS WHICH INSTRUCTS 13:13 STRUCK THE IMAGE ON ITS FEET OF IRON AND CLAY AND BROKE THEM IN 13:17 PIECES. THEN THE IRON AND THE CLAY, THE 13:19 BRONZE AND THE SILVER AND THE GOLD WERE CRUSHED TOGETHER AND 13:22 BECAME LIKE THE CHAFF OF THE SUMMER THRESHING FLOOR AND THE 13:26 WIND CARRIED THEM AWAY SO THAT NO TRACE OF THEM WAS FOUND, AND 13:29 THE STONE THAT STRUCK THE IMAGE BECAME A GREAT MOUNTAIN AND 13:33 FILLED THE WHOLE EARTH. >> THIS RECREATES THAT VISION SO 13:40 YOU CAN SEE IT AND GET IT PICTURED IN YOUR MIND, IN FACT, 13:44 ON THE SHELF BEHIND ME YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING IF YOU HAVE SEEN A 13:48 WIDE SHOT OF THE SET WE HAVE THIS ARTIFACT, NO, I WANT TO 13:52 MAKE SURE NO ONE THINGS AT OUR AMAZING FACTS WE ARE BURNING 13:59 INNOCENCE BEFORE AN IDOL, THIS IS A REPRODUCTION OF WHAT THE 14:03 KING SAW IN HIS DREAM, WE CALL HIM MELVIN, I HOPE NOBODY HERE 14:08 IS CALLED MELVIN, BUT ANYWAY, SO THIS DREAM OUTLINES THE HISTORY 14:14 OF THE WORLD .. SO WITH THIS BACKGROUND LET'S GO AHEAD AND 14:16 GET INTO OUR STUDY FOR TONIGHT, GOING AGAIN TO THESE STUDIES 14:21 WITH A QUESTION ANSWER FORMAT THAT HELPS US TO PASS THE RIGHT 14:28 QUESTIONS AND GIVES I GIVE YOU TO ANSWERSLY GIVE YOU A LOT OF 14:31 BIBLE SCRIPTURES TONIGHT SO YOU CAN TAKE NOTES, OF COURSE YOU 14:34 CAN PLAY THESE BACK LATER AND YOU REQUEST THE LESSONS AND 14:37 DOWNLOAD THEM THAT WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THIS. 14:39 QUESTION NUMBER 1. WHY DID GOD GIVE THE BABYLONIAN 14:43 KING THIS DREAM? YOU READ IN DANIEL 2:28 HE SAID 14:48 THERE IS A GOD IN HEAVEN THAT REVEALS SECRETS AND MAKES KNOWN 14:51 TO THE KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR CZAR WHAT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS? 14:57 WHAT DOES HIS DREAM ARE HAVE TO BE WITH? 14:59 WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE LAST DAYS. 15:01 I AM TELLING YOU SECRET. THIS DREAM IS REVEALING 15:03 SOMETHING ABOUT THE FUTURE. NOW, WHEN NEBUCHADNEZZAR HE, 15:09 WHEN HE HAS THE DREAM HE DID WHAT RULERS DID BACK THEN THEM, 15:16 WHEN PHAROAH HAD THE DREAM OF THE SEVEN FAT AND SKINNY COWS 15:20 AND CALLED IN HIS WISE MEN AND SAYS WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? 15:22 AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO TELL HIM. 15:24 THESE GREAT MONARCHS OFTEN HAD -- THEY HAD MAGICIANS AND 15:30 SORCERERS AND ADVISORS THAT WENT THROUGH ALL OF THEIR DIFFERENT 15:33 INCANTATIONS TO SUPPOSEDLY GUIDE THE KING WITH THEIR WISDOM. 15:36 AND THIS WAS FAIRLY COMMON THROUGH CHINESE AND BABYLON AND 15:41 EGYPT AND MANY OF THE EMPIRES SO HE CALLED IN HIS WISE MEN AND 15:45 MAGICIANS AND SORCERERS AND SAYS I HAD THIS DREAM, I KNOW IT IS A 15:49 DIVINE DREAM. IT IS DIFFERENT. 15:50 GOD WAS TELLING ME SOMETHING. I THE DEALT INTENSITY OF IT, 15:54 TELL ME WHAT THE DREAM MEANS. AND THEY SAID, OKAY, THAT'S WHY 15:58 WE ARE ON THE KING'S PAYROLL. TELL US THE DREAM AND WE WILL 16:01 MANUFACTURE -- I MEAN WE WILL TELL THE KING THE DREAM, WHAT IT 16:05 MEANS. THEY ARE REALLY GOOD AT 16:08 CONCOCTING THINGS BUT THE KING SAID YOU KNOW, IT ALREADY IS 16:12 BECOMING FUZZY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU EVER HAD A DREAM BEFORE THAT 16:14 YOU THINK, WOW, AND THEN YOU TRY AND TELL IT TO SOMEONE A LITTLE 16:18 LATER AND YOU SAY, AH, IT IS GETTING HARD TO REMEMBER BECAUSE 16:21 THE PART OF YOR BRAIN THAT DOES DREAMING IN YOUR BRAIN LEVELS, 16:25 IT IS NOT THE SAME LUCID PART OF YOUR BRAIN YOU THINK WITH, THE 16:30 CONSCIOUS BRAIN. AND SO THEY ARE OFTEN SEPARATED 16:33 BY A VEIL AND IT IS HARD TO RECALL. 16:35 SO THE KING SAID LOOK I WANT TO FIND OUT IF YOU GUYS ARE 16:38 AUTHENTIC. IF YOU REALLY HAVE DIVINE 16:40 INSIGHT, TELL ME THE DREAM, THEN I WILL KNOW YOU CAN TELL ME 16:43 INTERPRETATION AND YOU ARE NOT JUST MAKING SOMETHING UP. 16:46 WELL, THEY BEGAN TO STALL AND THEY SAID, WELL, THAT IS A 16:50 LITTLE UNREASONABLE, THERE IS NO KING THAT WOULD EVER ASK HIS 16:53 MAGICIANS OR HIS WISE MEN SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 16:55 YOU TELL US THE DREAM AND WE WILL TELL YOU THE 16:59 INTERPRETATION. AND HE WAS GETTING MORE AND MORE 17:02 FRUSTRATED WITH THEM UNTIL FINALLY THE KING KNOWING THE 17:04 IMPORTANCE OF THIS AND BEGINNING TO DOUBT THE AUTHENTICITY OF HIS 17:09 WISE MEN, HE ISSUED A DECREE THEY SHOULD ALL BE GATHERED AND 17:13 EXECUTED IF THEY COULDN'T TELL HIM WHAT HIS DREAM WAS AND WHAT 17:15 THE INTERPRETATION WAS. WHEN THE KING'S COUNSELORS 17:19 FAILED TO REVEAL AND INTERPRET THE DREAM WHAT WAS 17:23 NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S COMMAND? HE ACTUALLY BEGAN TO GET HIS 17:26 LEGAL COUNSEL TOGETHER AND SAID WE ARE GOING GET A DECREE 17:29 BECAUSE IF YOU GOING TO WIPE OUT ALL OF THE WISE MEN IN YOUR 17:33 KINGDOM YOU NEED TO MAKE IT OFFICIAL, HE WAS ASSEMBLING AND 17:36 GETTING THE PAPERWORK DONE AND IF YOU CAN'T TELL ME DREAM I 17:39 WILL HAVE YOU ALL EXECUTED. THE KING COMMANDED TO DESTROY 17:42 ALL OF THE WISE MEN OF BABYLON. NOW, PART OF THE PROBLEM IN THIS 17:48 STORY IS THAT IN THE KINGDOM OF BABYLON THERE WERE FOUR HEBREWS 17:52 THAT WERE SERVING IN THE KING'S CABINET AND THEY WERE SORT OF 17:56 INTERN WISE MEN. THEY WERE JUNIOR WISE MEN, SO TO 18:01 SPEAK. YOU READ IN CHAPTER 1 HOW THE 18:03 KING HAD TESTED THEM AND POUND THEM TEN TIMES WISER THAN ALL OF 18:07 HIS MAGICIANS AND AS VOLUME VS., THEY WERE NOT INCITED TO THIS 18:10 FIRST GATHERING WHERE THE KING SAID TELL ME MY DREAM .. SO 18:14 DANIEL CONSEQUENT TO THE GUARD THAT WAS GATHERING THE WISE MEN 18:17 AND TALKING ABOUT EXTERMINATING THEM AND HE SAID WHY IS THE 18:21 KING'S DECREE SO HASTY? ASK THE KING IF HE WANT TO KNOW 18:24 THE DREAM TO GIVE ME SOME TIME AND I WILL TELL HIM. 18:27 SO WHEN DANIEL LEARNED ABOUT THE DECREE WHAT DID HE ASK OF THE 18:31 KING AND WHAT DID HE TELL HIS FRIENDS? 18:35 DANIEL WENT IN AND HE TOLD THE KING HE WOULD GIVE HIM TIME AND 18:42 HE WOULD SHOW THE KING THE INTERPRETATION. 18:44 NOW HE WASN'T STALLING, HE IS BASICALLY SAYING, GIVE ME A 18:46 COUPLE OF DAYS AND I WILL TELL THE KING WHAT THE INTERPRETATION 18:50 IS. HOW COULD DANIEL SAY SOMETHING 18:53 THAT OUTRAGEOUS AND AUDACIOUS? HOW WOULD HE KNOW HE COULD DO 18:56 THAT? THAT WAS A PRETTY RISKY THING TO 18:58 SAY. WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU READ IN 19:00 DANIEL CHAPTER 2, IT SAYS DANIEL THEN GOES TO HIS HOUSE, HE MAKES 19:04 THE THING KNOWN TO HANANIAH, AND -- THOSE ARE THE JEWISH NAMES 19:10 FOR SHADRACH, MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO THEY WOULD DESIRE 19:14 MERCIES OF THE GOD OF HEAVEN CONCERNING THE SECRET AND THESE 19:17 FOUR YOUNG MEN GAVE -- AND NOW LOOK IN DANIEL CHAPTER 1, VERSE 19:22 SEVEN, WHY DID DANIEL HAVE THIS CONFIDENCE? 19:25 AS FOR THE FOUR YOUNG MEN GOD GAVE THEM KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL IN 19:28 ALL LITERATURE AND WISDOM AND DANIEL HAD UNDERSTANDING AND ALL 19:32 VISIONS IN DREAMS, IT SAYS THAT IN CHAPTER 1. 19:35 THAT'S WHY DANIEL HAD CONFIDENCE IN CHAPTER 2 THAT HE COULD TELL 19:38 THE KING WHAT HIS MESSAGE WAS OR WHAT HIS VISION WAS. 19:42 BUT THEY PRAYED. THEY KNEW THAT THESE SECRETS 19:45 ONLY BELONG TO GOD. IF YOU KNEW THAT YOUR LIFE 19:49 DEPENDED ON HAVING AN ANSWER YOU HAD TO DREAM SOMEONE ELSE'S 19:52 DREAM. YOU HAVE A PRETTY HEALTHY PRAYER 19:55 MEETING. AND I AM SURE THOSE FOUR YOUNG 19:56 MEN WERE PRAYING THEIR HEARTS OUT THAT NIGHT, BUT EVENTUALLY 19:59 THEY HAD PEACE AND THEY DRIFTED OFF TO SLEEP AND WHAT DO YOU 20:02 KNOW? DANIEL ENDED UP HAVING THIS 20:04 VIVID DREAM AND HE KNEW IT WAS THE DREAM OF THE KING. 20:08 AND THE NEXT DAY HE THEN RELATED THIS QUESTION, GHEN LORD 20:13 REVEALED THE DREAM DANIEL, TO WHOM DID HE GIVE PRAISE AND 20:17 CREDIT? HE DIDN'T TAKE IT FOR HIMSELF. 20:20 HE KNEW THAT GLORY BELONGED TO GOD, IT SAYS THAT THEY GATHERED 20:24 AND THEY THANKED LORD, I THINK A THEE AND PRAISE THEY THEE OH THE 20:29 GOD OF MY FATHERS THERE IS A GOD IN HEAVEN THAT REVEALS SECRETS 20:32 AND HE HAS MADE KNOWN TO KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR WHAT WILL BE IN 20:37 THE LAST DAYS, HE IS EMPHASIZING THE CONTEXT OF WHAT THIS DREAM 20:41 CAN IS ABOUT AND HOW IT RELATES TO YOU TODAY, LISTEN CAREFULLY 20:45 AND WE WILL FIND OUT WHERE WE ARE IN THE SCOPE OF HISTORY. 20:47 WE HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION TONIGHT. 20:50 THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GOD AND GOD ONLY CAN SEE THE BEGINNING FROM 20:54 THE END. ISAIAH CHAPTER 48, NINE AND 10, 20:58 REMEMBER THE FORMER THINGS OF OLD FOR I AM GOD AND THERE IS NO 21:02 OTHER. I AM GOD AND THERE IS FAWN LIKE 21:04 ME. DECLARING THE END FROM THE 21:07 BEGINNING AND FROM ACHE SHUNT TIMES THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT 21:10 YET DONE. GOD CAN DECLARE FROM ANCIENT 21:13 TIMES THINGS THAT HAVEN'T YET HAPPENED. 21:16 SO IN THE DREAM, AND WE READ IT, YOU SAW IT ON THE SCREEN, WHAT 21:20 ARE THE TWO OBJECTS THAT KING SAW IN THAT DREAM THAT 21:23 ESPECIALLY STOOD OUT? FIRST OF ALL, HE SAYS THOU OH 21:29 KING SAW A GREAT IMAGE. THIS ITSELF IS SOMETHING THAT IS 21:32 VERY TELLING. IN THE BIBLE, YOU KNOW WHAT THE 21:36 SECOND COMMANDMENT IS? DO NOT MAKE THE LIKENESS OF 21:39 ANYTHING IN THE HEAVEN ABOVE OR THE EARTH BENEATH OR THE WATER 21:42 UNDER THE EARTH, A DO NOT MAKE IMAGES, DO NOT BOW DOWN TO 21:46 IMAGES BUT THE BABYLON THEY WERE FAMOUS FOR IDOL TRIAS, IDOL 21:51 TRIAS THEY WERE IN MANY .. PAGAN CULTURES OF THE WORLD, SO THE 21:55 FACT THIS IS OF A GREAT IMAGE, EVIDENTLY AN IMAGE OF A MAN, 21:59 LOOKING IN DANIEL CHAPTER SEVEN, DANIEL CHAPTER 8 IT TALKS ABOUT 22:04 THE VISION OFFICE BEASTS AND IT TELLS YOU THEY ARE BEASTS BUT 22:07 THIS BECAUSE IT HAS CHEST AND ARMS AND LEGS AND TOES IT IS 22:11 PRETTY SURE THE IMAGE OF A MAN, IT REPRESENTS REPRESENT MAN'S KINGDOM ON 22:15 EARTH. WHEN YOU GET TO DANIEL CHAPTER 22:18 3, NEBUCHADNEZZAR, MAKES A HUGE IMAGE, PROBABLY SIX CUBITS WIDE, 22:25 60 TALL, SIX, SIX, SIX, YOU FIND THAT IMAGE IN REVELATION ALSO, 22:31 AND SO THIS IMAGE REPRESENTED THE RELIGION, THE KINGDOMS OF 22:36 MAN IN THE WORLD THAT WERE AT ODDS OR OPPOSING THE KINGDOM OF 22:40 GOD. NOTICE THE KING'S WISE MEN DID 22:43 NOT HAVE REAL POWER, WHO WAS IT THAT COULD FINALLY TELL THE KING 22:46 WHAT THE ANSWER WAS? IT WAS THE JEW IN THE COURT. 22:50 IN THE DAYS OF PHAROAH, THE WISE MEN COULD NOT TELL PHAROAH ABOUT 22:53 THE DREAM, WHO HAS THE -- WHO HAD THE ANSWER? 22:56 IT WAS JOSEPH THE JEW IN THE COURT. 22:58 AND YOU WILL SEE THIS HAPPENING MANY TIMES THROUGH HISTORY THAT 23:02 GOD GAVE HIS PEOPLE THAT WISDOM, THAT'S WHY THIS BOOK, THE BIBLE 23:06 IS A BOOK, PAUL SAYS GOD CREATED THE HOLY ORACLE TO THE JEWISH 23:11 NATION SO YOU HAVE GOT THIS TWO POLAR OPPOSITES. 23:15 THIS IDOL, THIS IMAGE IS A BIG IDOL THAT REPRESENTS COUNTERFEIT 23:20 WORSHIP. THOSE ARE THE BATTLES YOU ARE 23:22 GOING TO SEE IN THE LAST DAYS BETWEEN THOSE WHO WORSHIP GOD 23:25 AND THOSE WHO WORSHIP THE BEAST AND HIS IMAGE. 23:28 SO ONE THING YOU SEE IS THIS GREAT IMAGE. 23:30 THE OTHER THING YOU SEE IS THERE IS A STONE CUT WITHOUT HANDS, 23:35 NOW THAT IS GOING TO COME UP A LITTLE LATER, YOU SEE, WITH TEN 23:38 JEWS MADE AN ALTAR, THEY WERE TOLD, DO POT LIFT UP YOUR TOOL 23:43 UPON IT, IF YOU LIFT UP YOUR TOOL UPON IT YOU HAVE POLLUTED 23:47 IT AND PROFANED IT, I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE TEMPTED TO CARVE THAT 23:50 STONE, EVEN IF IT IS AN ALTAR INTO ANYTHING ORNATE, BECAUSE I 23:53 DON'T WANT YOU TO BE TEMPTED TO WORSHIP IDOLS. 23:56 I WANT YOU TO SIMPLY TAKE RAW STONE, SO WHEN IT SAYS THIS 23:58 STONE IS CUT WITHOUT MAN'S HANDS IT IS TALKING ABOUT GOD'S TRUTH. 24:03 JESUS IS THE ROCK OF AGES, CHRIST SAID HE THAT HEARS THESE 24:07 WORDS OF MINE IS THE WISE MAN WHO BUILT ON THE ROCK. 24:10 DAVID BROUGHT DOWN GOLIATH WITH A STONE, AND SO THIS REPRESENTS 24:15 THE WORD OF GOD, AND SO YOU HAVE THESE TWO CONTRASTING SYMBOLS, 24:20 SOMEONE GOLD AND SILVER AND ALL THE EARTHLY TREASURER, BUT THE 24:24 OTHER ONE IS IS A ZONE, TEN COMMAND IT IS WORD OF GOD 24:28 WRITTEN ON STONE. AND SO SCRIEGHT AWAY A JEW 24:32 READING THIS WOULD UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE TWO OPPOSING ELEMENTS 24:35 THAT ARE HERE. NUMBER 6, WHAT DOES THE HEAD OF 24:38 GOLD REPRESENT? NOW WE ARE GOING TO START GOING 24:41 THROUGH THESE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS IN THE VISION TO FIND OUT POINT 24:44 BY POINT WHAT DO THEY MEAN? WELL, DANIEL TOLD THE KING CAN 24:47 VERY PLAINLY WHEN HE INTERPRETED IT JUST READ CHAPTER 2 OF DAN 24:52 JOEL YOU WILL HAVE ALL AFTER THIS HERE, YOU THIS HEAD OF GOLD 24:56 NOW GOLD OF COURSE IS THE MOST PRECIOUS OF THE MEDALS YOU, 24:59 METALS YOU FIND IN THE VISION AND NEBUCHADNEZZAR WAS THE KING 25:03 OF ONE OF THE MOST MAJESTIC EMPIRES IN THE WORLD. 25:05 I HAVE GOT A FEW NOTES HERE FROM AN AGE SHUNT HISTORIAN BY THE 25:09 NAME OF HEROD US THE, AND HE .. GIVES A DESCRIPTION OF WHAT 25:14 ANCIENT BABYLON WAS LIKE. LET ME READ SOME OF THIS TO YOU. 25:19 BABYLON REACHED ITS GLORY DURING THE REIGN OF KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR 25:24 SECOND, WAS PROBABLY THE LARGEST CITY OF ANTIQUITY, THE ENTIRE 25:28 CITY OF BABYLON WAS AN IMMENSE SQUARE TOTALING 15 MILES ON EACH 25:33 SIDE, 60 MILES AROUND, BABYLON EACH SIDE WITH A MAR DUKES 25:39 TEMPLE AND THE TOWER OF BABYLON AT THE CENTER .. THE CITY WAS 25:42 DIVIDED INTO INTO EQUAL PARTS WITH A RIVER EUPHRATES RUNNING 25:47 UNDER THE WALLS, NOTICE THAT LATER, IT COMES UP LATER 25:50 TONIGHT, RIVER EUPHRATES RUNNING UNDER THE WALL THAT HELPED 25:54 IRRIGATE THE ENTIRE METROPOLIS, 25 AVENUES 150 FEET WIDE, I WISH 25:59 OUR STREETS WERE THAT WIDE WHICH RAN INTRODUCES CITY THERE NORTH 26:02 TO SOUTH. THE SAME NUMBER CROSSED AT RIGHT 26:05 AGE ALSO FROM EAST TO WEST MAKING A TOTAL OF 676 GREAT 26:10 BLOCKS, THREE QUARTERS OF A MILE EACH. 26:12 WITH SMALLER STREETS OF COURSE INTERSECTING THOSE. 26:15 KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR ALSO BUILT MASSIVE FORTIFICATIONS WITH 26:19 IMMENSE IMMENSELY THICK WALLS THAT 26:22 MEASURED BETWEEN 67 FEAT AT THE BASE TO 54 FEET AT THE TOP, AND 26:27 HISTORIANS STRUGGLED WITH THIS BUZZ HEROD US THE SAID 320 FEET 26:34 HIGH, 600 FEET HIGH, YOU THINK, WHO KNOWS? 26:36 A LOT OF THOSE BRICKS WERE TAKEN AFTER THE FALL OF BABYLON AND 26:38 USED TO REBUILD OTHER THINGS, AND THEY JUST ALL DISAPPEARED. 26:42 .. AND ITS AT THE US THAT ONE HISTORIAN SAID FOUR CHARIOTS 26:46 COULD RACE ON OF THE WALLS OF BABYLON, NOT 26:50 ONLY WAS BABYLON BIG BUT BUILDING, THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS 26:53 WERE LAID WITH BRIGHT GLAZED BRICKS HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE 26:57 ISSUE TAR GATE THAT HAS BEEN .. CAREFULLY EXCAVATED IN BABYLON 27:02 AND REBUILT, REASSEMBLED, IN BERLIN IN A MUSEUM, AND JUST TO 27:07 TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THE BEAUTY OF THE CITY DURING THIS 27:10 TIME AND SAYS THE OUTER WALLS WERE YELLOW, THE GATES WERE 27:13 BLUE, THE PALACES WERE ROSE RED, AND THE TIMPLES WERE WHITE. 27:17 ALL THIS PLUS THE THEME IS HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON ONE 27:20 OF THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD, BY THE WAY WHAT 27:23 HAPPENED IS NEBUCHADNEZZAR MARRIED A GIRL FROM THE 27:25 MOUNTAINS AND SHE WENT TO THE PLAINS OF MESOPOTAMIA AND GOT 27:31 HOME STICK BECAUSE IT WAS FLAT EVERYWHERE, HE SAYSLY BUILD YOU 27:34 A MOUNTAIN, HE BUILT A MINUTE AND PLANTED IT WITH TREES AND 27:37 GARDENS FROM ALL OVER THE KNOWN WORLD AND THEN HE HAD VERY 27:41 CLEVER PUMPS THAT WERE PUMPING WATER UP TO THE TOP AND CREATING 27:44 WATERFALLS AS IT WENT DOWN AND THE NUMBER OF HISTORIANS SAID IT 27:47 WAS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL, ONE OF THE WON WONDERS OF THE WORLD, MADE 27:51 HIS WIFE A MOUNTAIN, YOU BACHELOR'S DON'T GET ANY IDEAS 27:54 ABOUT THAT. ALL OF THIS SPLENDOR WAS UNEQUAL 27:58 TO ANY CITY. YOU UNDERSTAND WHY 28:00 NEBUCHADNEZZAR AT ONE POINT CAME SO PROUD HE STOOD UPON THE 28:03 BALCONY OVERLOOKING BABYLON AS THE SUN WAS GOING DOWN, ISN'T 28:08 THIS THE GREAT BABYLON I BUILT? THERE WAS GOLD EVERYWHERE AND 28:12 THEY HAD TONS AND TONS OF GOLD, NEBUCHADNEZZAR CONQUERED VERSE 28:15 AND HE CARRIED ALL OF THE GOLD FROM SOLOMON'S TEMPLE, WHICH HAD 28:19 TONS OF GOAD, CARRIED IT OFF TO BABYLON AND CONQUERED A LOT OF 28:22 OTHER NATIONS AND ALL THE REVENUE FROM TAXES AND IT WAS 28:26 IMMENSELY RICH, IT WAS THE HEAD OF GOLD WHERE BABYLON'S KING 28:30 DOWELED LAST FOREVER? úWELL WE HEARD IT, THE GOLD 28:34 TRANSITIONED INTO ANOTHER METAL REPRESENTING ANOTHER KINGDOM, 28:38 NOW BIBLE GOES INTO A LOT OF DETAIL TO TELL US ABOUT THIS 28:42 CHEST AND ARMS OF SILVER. SO AFTER YOU WILL ARISE ANOTHER 28:49 KINGDOM INFERIOR TO THEE, STILL MIGHTY AND POWERFUL BUT NOT 28:53 NEARLY AS POWERFUL OR STRONG AS THAT GLORIOUS HEAD OF GOLD AND 28:58 THE BIBLE TELLS US HOW THIS ALL HAPPENED. 29:01 YOU KNOW, THEY WERE DOING SOME EXCAVATING AROUND BABYLON AND 29:04 FOUND A TABLET THAT WAS INSCRIBED BY NEBUCHADNEZZAR AND 29:08 IN ALGEA AND THE BABYLONIAN TABLET IT SAYS I HAVE 29:15 STRENGTHENED AND ESTABLISHED BY REIGN FOREVER, HE WANTED HIS 29:18 KINGDOM TO LAST FOREVER. WE WILL FIND OUT IN ANOTHER 29:21 PRESENTATION ABOUT HOW HE MADE AN EFFORT FOR IT TO LAST 29:24 FOREVER. BUT AS WE ALL KNOW, BABYLON DID 29:26 NOT LAST FOREVER. AND IN THE BIBLE, IF YOU FLEAD 29:29 DANIEL CHAPTER 5, IT TELLS YOU ABOUT THE FALL OF BABYLON. 29:32 I THINK MOST OF US HAVE HEARD THE EXPRESSION BEFORE, 29:35 HANDWRITING ON THE WALL. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANT 29:37 MOST OF MY LIFE UNTIL I PICKED UP THE BIBLE AND I FOUND OUT 29:40 THAT CAME FROM A STORY YOU FIND IN THE BIBLE. 29:46 BABYLON FINALLY NEBUCHADNEZZAR PASSED AWAY, HIS SON, EVIL 29:51 MURDOCH REIGNED FOR A LITTLE WHILE, ASSASSINATED AND PARDON 29:55 MISS REIGNED .. AND THE SON OF NAB DONIS .. WAS BELSHAZZAR AND 30:01 WHILE HIS FATHER WAS OUT DOING ARCHAEOLOGY IN OTHER PARTS OF 30:04 THE KINGDOM HE DECIDED TO HAVE A WILD PARTY AND HE WASN'T AT ALL 30:07 CONCERNED THAT THE NEEDS NEEDS AND PERSIANS WERE THREATENING TO 30:10 ATTACKS .. AND SAYS THEY WILL NEVER GET THROUGH THE WALLS, WE 30:15 DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE NEEDS AND PERKS TO HE HAD A 30:21 BARACK OBAMA BIG PARTIES WE HAVE ENOUGH FOOD THE CITY TO LAST 20 30:24 YEARS .. AND THEY DID, THEY HAD QUITE A BIT, SOME OF THESE 30:28 SIEGES, WHERE ONE KINGDOM WOULD SURROUND ANOTHER WOULD LAST FOR 30:32 YEARS, NEBUCHADNEZZAR TOOK IN TWO YEARS AND CAMPED OUTSIDE OF 30:36 JERUSALEM TO CONQUER THE CITY, THE ROMANS CAMPED OUTSIDE OF 30:40 MASADA FOR THREE YEARS .. AND UNTIL BELSHAZZAR SAID THE 30:45 PERSIANS TO CITY THEY ARE NEVER GOING CONQUER US, THEY DON'T 30:48 HAVE THE DICHOTOMY TO OUTLAST US, ECONOMY TO OUT LAST US, THEY 30:53 HAD A BIG FEAST AND THROWING FOOD OVER THE WALLS TO SHOW THEY 30:56 WEREN'T AFRAID BUT THEN THEY MADE A FATAL MISTAKE, DURING 31:00 THAT FEAST, THE KING HAD HEARD THAT DANIEL HAD FORETOLD THE 31:06 BABYLONIAN KINGDOM WOULD NOT LAST FOREVER WE WILL SHOW YOU 31:09 WHOSE GOD IS THE MOST POWERFUL, THE GOD OF BABYLON OR THE GOD 31:14 JEHOVAH, AND THEY BROUGHT THESE GOLDEN VESSELS IN FROM SOLOMON'S 31:18 TEMPLE, AND THEY BEGAN TO FILL THEM WITH FERMENTED DRINK AND 31:21 THEY BEGAN TO TOAST AND PRAISE THEIR GODS OF GOLD AND SILVER 31:26 AND WOOD AND STONE AND WHILE HE WAS CARRYING ON IN BLASPHEMING 31:30 THE GOD OF HEAVEN, SUDDENLY A BLOODLESS HAND WAS ILLUMINATED 31:36 AND BAN TO WRITE ON THE PLASTER OF THE WALLS IN THIS PASSIVE 31:40 HALL OF BABYLON AND THEY SAID THEY HAD A BANQUET HALL A 31:43 QUARTER OF A MILE LONG, THERE WERE PEACOCKS CARRYING GOLDEN 31:47 CHAR CROTTS WITH DRINK WALKING AROUND IT WAS SO MAJESTIC AND 31:51 THERE ON THAT BANQUET HALL, WORDS BEGAN TO WRITE AND THE 31:56 BIBLE SAYS THE KING'S KNEES BEGAN TO KNOCK TOGETHER AND HIS 31:59 LINES WERE LOOSE, NOW THAT PHRASE LINES LOOSE CAN BE 32:02 TRANSLATED HE WET HIS PANTS, THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS HE BECAME 32:05 SO FREQUENT TEND HIS KNEES BAN TO SHAKE, HE, WE DIDN'T GET A 32:09 SHOT OF THAT, AND, YEAH, HE JUST, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? 32:15 ED HE LOOKED UP AND HE SEES THESE WORDS, WRITING ON THE 32:20 WALL, AND THE BLOOD LEFT HIS FACE AND THEN HE SAYS, BRING IN 32:23 THE WISE MEN, YOU THINK HE WOULD HAVE LEARNED FROM NEBUCHADNEZZAR 32:28 BUT, THAT THEY CAN TELL ME, THEY NAME AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT 32:31 MEANT BUT JUST AS SCARED. AND FINALLY THE 32:38 , HIS GRANDFATHER KNEW AND EVEN THE WISE MEN ASKED LIKE HE WAS 32:42 THE WISEST OF THE WISE AND HE IS STILL ALIVE AND FINALLY CALLS IN 32:46 DANIEL AND SAYSLY TELL YOU WHAT THE WRITING IS, THE KING SAYS I 32:49 WILL GIVE YOU A REWARD AND MAKE YOU THE THIRD RULE NEVER THE 32:52 KING CAN.COM AND GIVE YOU A GOLDEN CHAIN. 32:53 >> KEEP YOUR REWARDS BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT THE VISION SAYS AND 32:56 YOU REALLY HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER ME. 32:58 >> AND SO HE INTERPRETED IT FOR HIM, YO HEARD THE EXPRESSION, 33:01 HANDWRITING ON THE WALL, THE WORDS -- IT MEANT GOD HAS 33:06 NUMBERED YOUR KINGDOM AND FINISHED IT 33:14 . YOU ARE WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE 33:16 AND FOUND WANTING. YOUR KINGDOM IS DIVIDED AND 33:20 GIVENS TO THE MEDES AND PERSIANS. 33:24 THAT VERY NIGHT WHEN THE KING WAS DOING THAT, BABYLON HAD 33:27 ALREADY BE G UNTO FALL. AND THE FALL OF BABYLON HAD BEEN 33:31 FORETOLD IN THE BIBLE OVER 150 YEARS EARLIER. 33:35 YOU READ IN JEREMIAH 25:12, I WILL PUNISH THE KING OF BABYLON 33:40 AND THAT NATION SAYTH THE LORD FOR THEIR INIQUITY AND THE LAND 33:45 OF THE CHALDEANS AND I WILL MAKE IT A PERPETUAL DESOLATION, JUST 33:50 A LITTLE INTERESTING FOOTNOTE I THOUGHT YOU WOULD FIND 33:54 FASCINATING, YOU KNOW WHEN SADDAM HUSSEIN WHO WAS OF COURSE 33:57 RULING IN IRAQ FOR YEARS AND THAT'S WHERE THE ANCIENT CITY OF 34:01 BABYLON S HE FANCIED HIMSELF THE REINCARNATION OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR, 34:04 IN FACT HE TOLD PEOPLE, I AM NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE THIRD, HE 34:12 USED ALL OF THIS PROPAGANDA AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO 34:16 DOCUMENTATION HE WAS RELATED AND TRIED -- HE HAD NEBUCHADNEZZAR 34:19 CHARIOT RECONSTRUCTED AND TOOK PICTURES OF HIMSELF, AND HE HAD 34:23 COINS STAMPED WITH HIS IMAGE AND HE HAD THE ARTISTS MAKE SURE HIS 34:26 FACE AND PORTRAIT LOOKED LIKE NEBUCHADNEZZAR SO PEOPLE WOULD 34:29 THINK THAT HE WAS SOME REINCARNATION OF THIS ANCIENT 34:33 KING AND ONE REASON IS BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT THE YOU SAID YOU 34:36 ARE NEVER GOING TO UNITE THE ARAB WORLD, BABYLON, IRAQ IS 34:40 NEVER GOING TO BE A WORLD EMPIRE, BECAUSE GOD SAID THAT 34:43 THAT HEAD OF GOLD IS GOING TO PASS AWAY AND IN THE IMPROVE 34:46 CITIES OF ISAIAH IT SAYS IT WILL NEVER BE REBUILT, LOOK AT SOME 34:50 OF THESE, FIRST OF ALL, SADDAM HUSSEIN I SHOULD SAY, HE TRIED 34:53 TO REBUILD BABYLON, HE SPENT UP TO $500 MILLION TRY TRYING TO 34:58 RESTORE THE RUINS OF THE ANCIENT CITY. 35:01 HE WAS INTERRUPTED TWICE BECAUSE OF THE TWO PHASES OF THE GULF 35:05 WAR, THE FINAL TIME OF COURSE DIDN'T END VERY WELL FOR HIM. 35:07 HE WAS ARRESTED AND ULTIMATELY EXECUTED AND THIS VERY DAY RUINS 35:12 ARE JUST THAT, THEY ARE RUINS AS THE BIBLE FOR TOLD. 35:14 HE TRIED TO OVER THROW AND CONFOUND THE BIBLE PROPHECY AND 35:18 YOU CAN'T DO THAT. HE HERE IS WHAT ISAIAH SAID 35:21 ABOUT BABYLON, SOME PEOPLE THINK BABYLON IS GOING TO BE REBUILT 35:25 YOU ARE NOT READING YOUR BIBLE, ISAIAH, BABYLON, THE GLORY OF 35:30 THE KINGDOMS, THE BEAUTY OF THE CHALDEANS PRIDE WILL BE AS WHEN 35:34 GOD OVER THREW SODOM AND GOMORRAH, JUST GO TO THE SOUTH 35:38 END OF THE DEAD SEA AND YOU WILL SEE THERE IS NOTHING THERE. 35:40 IT WILL NEVER BE INHABITED NOR WILL IT BE SETTLED FROM 35:44 GENERATION TO GENERATION, NOR WILL THE ARABIAN PITCH HIS TENT 35:49 THERE, IT WILL BE FULL OF NOTHING BUT DOLEFUL CREATURES. 35:52 YOU KNOW, IT IS INTERESTING THAT IT WAS SITUATED WHERE YOU WOULD 35:55 THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO REBUILD A CITY, MANY CITIES 35:58 HAVE BEEN DESTROYED IN WAR AND REBUILD THEM, JERUSALEM HAS BEEN 36:01 DESTROYED AND REBUILT 27 TIMES AND IT IS STILL THERE. 36:05 THAT IS, AND IT IS UP ON A MOUNTAIN, BABYLON WAS BY THE 36:09 EUPHRATES RIVER AND DESTROYED AND NEVER REBUILT. 36:11 HERE IS ANOTHER PROPHECY, JEREMIAH 50:30 HE EIGHT, A 36:16 DROUGHT IS AGAINST HER WATERS AND THEY WILL BE DRIED UP, NOW 36:19 WHY DOES JEREMIAH SAY THAT, THE BIBLE EVEN TELLS THE WHO AND THE 36:23 HOW BABYLON WOULD FALL, YOU KNOW, I MENTIONED THE EUPHRATES 36:28 RIVER RAN UNDER THE WALL AND WHILE CYRUS THE GENERAL WOULD 36:31 SOON BE KING AND HIS FATHER IN LAW DARIUS THE MEDE THE FIRST 36:36 KING WERE IN CAMP, STARTED OUT THE MEADOW PERSIAN KINGDOM, 36:40 EVENTUALLY THE PERSIANS SORT OF ABSORBED THE MEDES AND KNOWN 36:44 BASICALLY AS THE PERSIAN KINGDOM .., BUCYRUS, HE WANTED TO 36:50 CONQUER THE CITY AND HE KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE ALMOST 36:52 IMPOSSIBLE TO GO OVER THE WALLS, SO HE THOUGHT, WELL BUT THERE IS 36:55 A WEAKNESS IN IN THAT THE RIVER RUNS UNDER THE WALLS, THEY 36:59 DIDN'T HAVE SCUBA GEAR BACK THEN BUT HE GOT A BRILLIANT IDEA OR 37:02 SOMEONE GAVE IT TO HIM. THERE WAS A VERY LARGE DRY LAKE 37:06 BED NOT FAR FROM THE EUPHRATES AND IT WAS LOWER THAN THE RIVER 37:11 LEVEL, AND HE HAD HIS SOLDIERS DIG THIS MASS IF TRENCH THAT 37:15 WOULD DIVERT THE WATER OF THE EUPHRATES OVER TO THIS DRY LAKE 37:19 BED AND ONE DAY JUST AS THE SUN WAS GOING DOWN HE HAD THEM BREAK 37:23 THE FINAL SCOOP OF DIRT OUT THAT SENT THE EUPHRATES RUSHING OFF 37:28 INTO THIS DRY AREA, THIS CHANNEL HE REPRESENTED, LOWERED THE 37:31 WATER LEVEL, HE HAD SOME SOLDIERS GO UNDERNEATH THE WALL 37:35 AND THERE WAS THE INNER GATES AND OUTER GATES, THE SOLDIERS 37:38 HAD BEEN DRUNK FROM BELL CHAZZ STAR'S PARTY AND LEFT THE OUTER 37:43 GATES UNLOCKED, THE ARMY CAME POURING IN AND KILLED THE GUARDS 37:48 .. AND THE CITY WAS TAKEN IN ONE NIGHT. 37:51 JUST AS THE BIBLE FORETOLD, NOTICE THAT JEREMIAH SAID THE 37:55 WATERS WILL BE DRIED UP AND THE WATERS OF THE EUPHRATES ARE 37:59 DRYING UP ALSO NOW, FRIENDS AND IT MENTIONS THIS IN REVELATION 38:02 IT TALKS ABOUT THE SIX PLAGUES, THE EUPHRATES DRYING UP AND THAT 38:08 WILL COME UP LATER, WHERE IT IS THE LAND OF CARVED IMAGES AND 38:11 THEY ARE INSANE WITH THEIR IDOLS, WHAT DID WE SAY ABOUT A 38:15 IDOL TRIAS BEING ONE OF THE PRINCIPLE PROBLEMS OF BABYLON? 38:28 >> HE LIVED LONG BEFORE NEBUCHADNEZZAR, LONG BEFORE 38:32 CYRUS, GOD NAMES THE ONE WHO WOULD CONQUER BABYLON AND 38:36 LIBERATE HIS PEOPLE BY NAME, 150 YEARS BEFORE HE IS BORN. 38:41 SCHOLARS THAT READ THE BIBLE ARE SO MYSTIFIED BY ALL OF THE OF 38:44 THIS BECAUSE THEY THINK HOW COULD THIS BE THAT YOU CAN KNOW 38:47 SOMEONES NAME, THAT THEY WOULD BE THE RULER WITH SUCH 38:51 PRECISION? THUS SAYS THE LORD, HE IS 38:54 ANOINTED THAT MEANS CHOSEN ONE, CYRUS WHOSE RIGHT HAND I HAVE 38:58 HELD TO SUBDUE NATIONS BEFORE HIM, TO LOSE THE ARMOR OF KINGS, 39:02 AND TO OPEN BEFORE HIM THE DOUBLE DOORS, THE INNER GATES TO 39:06 THE SEA, SO THE GATES WILL NOT BE SHUT. 39:08 AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED HISTORICALLY. 39:12 INDEED YOU GO TO THE BRITISH MUSEUM AND ONE OF GREAT 39:15 ARTIFACTS THERE, I HAVE BEEN THERE AND SEEN THIS, IS THE 39:18 CYRUS CYLINDER, AND IN THIS CYLINDER, IN THE CUNEIFORM THEY 39:22 WRITE THERE HE SAYS HOW EASILY BABYLON WAS TAKEN AND THAT WHEN 39:27 HE CAME INTO POWER HE LET THE CAPTIVES OF THE BABYLONIANS GO 39:31 FREE, THAT OF COURSE INCLUDED THE JEWISH PEOPLE. 39:33 THIS ALL HAPPENED. AND I JUST GET EXCITED THINKING 39:35 ABOUT IT. HOW PEOPLE WOULD DOUBT THE WORD 39:38 OF GOD IN THESE PROPHECIES. SO THAT THEN TRANSITIONS US SWIEWS 39:43 THIS NEXT KINGDOM, THE KINGDOM OF PERSIA WHICH WAS ALSO A 39:47 MIGHTY KINGDOM, NOTICE SOMETHING AS WE MOVE ALONG HERE. 39:51 EACH EMPIRE YOU GO FROM GLD TO SILVER, IT IS DIMINISHING IN 39:58 VALUE, INCREASING IN STRENGTH, SILVER IS HARDER THAN GOLD, 40:01 BRONZE IS HARDER THAN SILVER, SEE WHAT I AM SAYING? 40:05 THE PERSIAN EMPIRE HAS BIGGER BORDERS THAN NEBUCHADNEZZAR, AND 40:13 THE EMPIRE LASTS LONGER THAN THE ONE BEFORE IT SO THERE ARE VERY 40:16 INTERESTING SEQUENCES HAPPENING IN THIS VISION THAT ARE REALLY 40:19 UNCANNY. AND HERE IS A PICTURE OF SOME OF 40:21 THE AGE SHUNT RUINS OF PER SYPHILIS WHICH I THINK IS A 40:25 GREEK WORD, MEANING CITY, I THINK CITY OF THE PERSIANS AND 40:28 IT WAS THEIR CAPITAL CITY .. AND ALSO VERY MAGNIFICENT AND THERE 40:32 ARE A NUMBER OF RULERS, THAT LAST ADD LITTLE LONGER THAN 40:36 GREEK -- OR THAN THE BACK 0 LONIAN KINGDOM, BABYLONIAN THE 40:44 KINGDOM, TO 331 BC AND THEN WE GO ON TO THE NEXT EMPIRE. 40:49 QUESTION 8. WHAT METAL WOULD BE REPRESENTED 40:51 IN THE KINGDOM THAT FOLLOWED MEADOW PERSIA? 40:54 >> YOU READ IN DANIEL CHAPTER 2, VERSE 29 .. ANOTHER THIRD 40:59 KINGDOM OF BRASS SHALL BEAR RULE OVER ALL THE EARTH. 41:05 AND EVERY SCHOOL CHILD KNOWS ABOUT ALEXANDER THE GREAT. 41:08 AND THIS IS -- WAS A GREAT STRETCH OF THE GREEK INFLUENCE 41:15 AND HELENATION THAT WENT THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST .. 41:18 AND PARTS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN BACK THEN. 41:22 GREEK HISTORIAN SAID I WAS PERSUADED THERE WAS NO NATION, 41:26 CITY OR PEOPLE IN BEING WHERE HIS NAME DID NOT REACH. 41:30 THE EXPLOITS AND THE MILITARY GENIUS OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT 41:36 HAVE BEEN NOTED BY MANY IN HISTORY AND HE WAS SO INCREDIBLY 41:40 BRAVE, HIS SOLDIERS WERE SO LOYAL THAT IF HE ORDERED SOME OF 41:43 THEM TO MARCH OFF A CLIFF THEY WOULD NOT QUESTION HIM, THEY 41:47 WOULD MARCH OFF A CLIFF. AND HE WAS VERY GOOD TO THEM 41:50 BECAUSE HE WOULD LEAD THEM INTO BATTLE, HE DIDN'T JUST SAY GO 41:54 FIGHT, HE WOULD OFTEN BE ON HIS HORSE CHARGING A COUPLE OF TIMES 41:56 ALEXANDER WAS THE FIRST ONE OVER THE WALL, THEY WERE SO INSPIRED 41:59 BY HIS COUNSEL, ONCE HE NEARLY GOT KILLED AND WOUNDED BADLY, 42:03 BUT HE WAS EXTREMELY COURAGEOUS, HE ALMOST FELT. 42:06 FELT LIKE HE WASIN VINCIBLE AND STRANGE HE NEVER DID GUY BATTLE. 42:13 0 DIE IN BATTLE, I AM PERSUADED THE WHOLE WORLD HEARD ABOUT HIM. 42:16 THERE SEEMS TO ME TO BE SOME DIVINE HAND PRESIDING OVER HIS 42:20 BIRTH AND ANSWERS. THIS IS INTERESTING, HISTORICAL 42:24 LIBRARY EVEN HISTORIANS LOOKING AT THE LIFE OF ALEXANDER THE 42:27 GREAT IT SEEMS LIKE THERE WAS SOME DIVINE HAND, SOME SAY IT 42:30 WAS THE GREEK GODS AND SOME SAY MAYBE IT WAS THE GOD OF THE 42:33 BIBLE, THEY ALL DISAGREE BUT THEY SAYINGS THERE ARE SO MANY 42:36 REMARKABLE EVENTS IN HIS LIFE THAT LOOKED LIKE THERE WAS SOME 42:40 DIVINE HAND THAT WAS GIVING HIM VICTORY OVER A MUCH BIGGER ARMY 42:44 THAN THE PERSIANS HAD, YOU PROBABLY HEARD THE STORY ABOUT 42:48 THE BRAVE GREEKS THAT FOUGHT THERE, THE SPARTANS AGAINST A 42:52 MASSIVE GROUP OF PERSIANS, NOW THERE IS AN INTERESTING STORY 42:55 FROM HISTORY THAT YOU CAN READ THIS IN THE WRITINGS OF JO 42:59 SEPHUS WHICH YOU CAN FIND ONLINE, THAT WHEN ALEXANDER THE 43:02 GREAT FINISHED CONQUERING TYRE, IT IS INTERESTING ALL OF THE 43:08 OTHER KINGS TRIED TO CONQUER TYRE, BECAUSE THE CAPITAL WAS 43:12 OFF THE COAST THERE, NORTH OF ISRAEL, AND IT WAS ON AN ISLAND, 43:17 AND THEY WERE THE PHOENICIANS WERE REALLY THE MASTERS OF THE 43:21 SEE, ALEXANDER SAID IF WE CAN'T CONQUER IT BY SEA, WE WILL 43:26 CONQUER BY LAND AND THE SOLDIERS SAYS HOW WILL YOU DO THAT? 43:28 WE WILL TAKE THE RUINS OF THE ANCIENT CITY OF TYRE AND PUSHED 43:32 THEM OFF INTO THE CITY AND BUILD A BRIDGE AND WE WILL CONNECT IT 43:35 WITH LAND. AND THEY DID THAT. 43:38 HE WAS COMMITTED. IF SOMEONE WOULDN'T SURRENDER HE 43:41 WENT AFTER THEM AND THEY BASICALLY BUILT UNDER CONSTANT 43:44 FIRE FROM THE PEOPLE IN THE CITY, THEY BUILT A CAUSEWAY AND 43:47 HE CONQUERED THE CITY OF TYRE. AT THAT TIME HE SAID JERUSALEM 43:51 IS NEXT. BUT WHEN HE WAS ON HIS WAY DOWN 43:53 TO JERUSALEM,, TO CONQUER THE JEWISH NATION, THE PRIESTS, THE 44:00 HIGH PRIESTS WENT OUT OF THE CITY, THEY CAME FORWARD TO THEM 44:02 DRESSED IN THEIR HOLY VESTMENTS AND THEY WERE BRINGING A SCROLL 44:08 WITH THEM AND THE KING WAS SO IMPRESSED WHEN HE SAW THEM HE 44:11 GOT OFF HIS HORSE, HE WALKED UP TO THE HIGH PRIEST AND HIS 44:15 SOLDIERS WERE AMAZED, THE SOLDIERS THOUGHT THEY WOULD 44:17 ATTACK HIM, HE GOT OFF HIS HORSE AND WALKED TO UP TO THE PRIESTS 44:20 AND HE BOWED AND WORSHIPPED GOD. AND HIS GENERAL LATER ASKED HIM 44:24 WHAT WERE YOU DOING? WHY WOULD YOU BOW? 44:26 I WASN'T WORSHIPPING THE PRIEST, I WAS WORSHIPPING HIS GOD AND 44:29 THE PRIESTS HAD THESE VEST.S ON AND WEARING THE MITRE AND LITTLE 44:35 GOLD PLAQUE THAT SAID HOLINESS TO THE LORD ABOVE HIS HEAD. 44:39 ALEXANDER SAID WHEN I WAS IN MACEDONIA, I HAD A DREAM, WE 44:43 TALKED ABOUT GREAT MONARCHS HAVING THESE PROPHETIC DREAMS, 44:47 SAID I HAVE A DREAM, AND A MAN DRESSED IN THESE VESTMENTS TOLD 44:50 ME YOU MUST GO FORTH AND CONQUER THE PERSIANS. 44:53 SO I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE IN THESE VESTMENTS UNTIL NOW. 44:56 THEN THE PERSIANS THROUGH A TRANSLATOR SHOWED HIM THE SCROLL 45:00 OF DANIEL, WHERE IN THE SCROLL OF DANIEL, WE VONT GET TEN THERE 45:04 YET BUT IT ACTUALLY MENTIONS GREEK, BREES AS THE KINGDOM THAT 45:08 WOULD RULE AND CONQUER THE PERSIANS. 45:10 HE SAW THAT AND HE DID NOT ATTACK JERUSALEM. 45:14 HE LET THEM GO ON IN PEACE. AND SO A VERY INTERESTING BIT OF 45:18 HISTORY. WELL HE WENT ON FROM THERE AND 45:20 HE EVENTUALLY MADE HIS WAY TO BABYLON AND HE WENT ALL THE WAY 45:23 TO THE BORDERS OF INDIA, I THINK I READ SOMEWHERE THAT ALEXANDER 45:26 IN 11TH YEARS MARCHED HIS ARMY 22,000 MILES. 45:31 AND BRILLIANT -- YOU PROBABLY HEARD THE STORY THAT SAYS THAT 45:35 HE REALIZED THERE WERE NO MORE WORLDS TO CONQUER SO HE JUST SAT 45:38 DOWN AND CRIED AND THEN HE DIED. THAT'S NOT EXACTLY WHAT 45:42 HAPPENED. BUT HE DID WANT TO KEEP FIGHTING 45:43 AND HIS SOLDIERS HAD BEEN AWAY FROM HOME FOR YEARS, THEY SAID 45:46 ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. AND SO HE SETTLED IN BABYLON AND 45:50 HE HAD A DRUNKEN FEAST AND HE EITHER DIED FROM ALCOHOL 45:55 POISONING, POISONING, SOMEONE MAY HAVE TRIED TO POISON HIM OR 45:58 FROM MA LAYER, I CAN'T THEY ARE NOT SURE. 46:00 AND AS HE WAS DYING, HIS GENERALS AROUND AROUND HIM ASKED 46:07 WHO WOULD RULE IN YOUR PLACE, HE HAD ONE YOUNG THAT WAS VERY 46:09 YOUNG AND ALEXANDER SAID THE STRONGEST. 46:14 THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED HIS KINGDOM WAS DIVIDED INTO FOUR PARTS, IT 46:17 IS INTERESTING THE PERSIANS, THEIR MONETARY SYSTEM WAS 46:20 SILVER, THE GREEKS, THEIR ARMOR WAS BRONZE, AND SO AS YOU GO 46:24 FROM THE GOLD, WHICH WAS A PRIMARY CURRENCY THERE IN BACK 46:28 LON TO THE STILL VERY, PRIMARY CURRENCY FOR THE PEREZS, THE 46:32 GREEKS ALSO DID USE COPPER, IN THEIR CURRENCY BUT THEY USED 46:39 BRONZE IN THEIR MAIL, IN THEIR ARMOR AND THE KINGDOM OF 46:44 ALEXANDER EVEN BIGGER LASTED LONGER THAN THE PERSIANS, AND 46:47 AGAIN BRONZE IS HARDER THAN SILVER, BUT IT DID NOT LAST 46:51 FOREVER, YOU CAN CONQUER THE WORLD BUT HE COULDN'T CONQUER 46:55 HIMSELF. 331 TO BC TO 168 BC WHEN CAME 47:02 THE NEXT WORLD EMPIRE THAT IS QUESTION NUMBER NINE, WHAT METAL 47:07 REPRESENTS THE FOURTH KINGDOM, YOU READ IN DANIEL 2:40, THE 47:11 FOURTH KINGDOM WILL BE AS STRONG AS IRON. 47:14 I THINK THAT EVERY SCHOOLBOY KNOWS THAT IS DOING.COM THAT 47:20 FOLLOWED GREECE WAS THE KINGDOM OF ROME. 47:22 IN FACT, YOU READ EDWARD GIBBONS WHO WROTE THE CLASSIC, I AM SURE 47:26 NOBODY HAS READ THE WHOLE THING, A FEW HISTORIANS BUT IT IS 47:29 VOLUMES AND SPENT HIS LIFE WRITING, THE DECLINE AND FALL OF 47:32 THE ROMAN EMPIRE. HE EVEN SAID IN THERE, THE 47:34 IMAGES, LOOK AT THE LANGUAGE HE USED, THE IMAGES OF GOLD OR 47:38 SILVER OR BRASS THAT MIGHT SERVE TO REPRESENT THE NATIONS AND 47:41 THEIR KINGS WERE EXCESSIVELY BROKEN BY THE IRON MONARCHY OF 47:48 ROME, ROME HAD MASTERED IRON WEAPON BRING AND LEARNED HOW TO 47:51 QUICKLY PRODUCE IRON, AND IF YOU HAD AN IRON SWORD THE BIBLE 47:56 TIMES YOU COULD FIGHT AGAINST SOMEBODY REQUEST A BRONZE SWORD 47:58 AND ACTUALLY CUT THEIR SWORD AND BREAK IT, IT WAS SO MUCH 48:02 STRONGER AND WE KNOW IT WAS THE IRON WEAPONS OF THE ROMANS THAT 48:07 WENT INTO BETHLEHEM AND KILLED THE BABIES UNDER THE ORDER OF 48:11 HEROD. IT WAS THE ROMAN GOVERNOR 48:14 PONTIUS PILATE THAT HAD JESUS WHIPPED WITH A IRON CAT OF NINE 48:19 TAILS AND ROMAN SOLDIERS THAT WERE THERE DRIVING THE NAILS 48:22 INTO HIS HANDS AND FEET, IRON NAILS, THERE WAS A ROMAN SOLDIER 48:27 THAT TOOK A SPEAR AND PUT IT IN THE SIDE AND ANOTHER ROMAN 48:32 CENTURION THAT STOOD AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS AND SAID, TRULY 48:34 THERE WAS THE SON OF GOD, THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT WHO WAS 48:37 RULING THE WORLD DURING THIS TIME. 48:40 THE IRON MONARCHY OF ROASM, AND THERE WERE ROMANS THAT WERE 48:45 GUARDING THE TUNE WHEN JESUS ROWS FROM THE DEAD, PRAISE GOD 48:49 BUT THEY COULDN'T KEEP HIM IN THE GRAVE EVEN THOUGH THEY PUT A 48:52 ROMAN STEEL ON HIS TOMBSTONE, THE ANGEL BROKE THE STEEL AND 48:57 JESUS CAME OUT AND I WANT TO, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE LOOK ON 49:02 PILATE'S FACE WHEN HE GOT THE NEWS. 49:06 ROAMS ONE, A VERY POWERFUL KINGDOM, NOW ONE REASON I THINK 49:09 THEY GOT, GOD WAITED UNTIL THE TIME OF THE ROMANS BEFORE HE 49:12 SENT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD, DURING THE REIGN OF AUGUST GUS 49:17 DISCUSS CAESAR THEY HAD PACKS ROMA NAAH, THE ROMAN PARTLY 49:21 SUNNY, PEACE .. THERE WAS A PERIOD BECAUSE OF THE IRON FIST 49:24 ROME RULED WITH OF RELATIVE PEACE AND DURING THAT TIME, THE 49:27 ROADS, YOU HEARD TO THE ROMAN ROADS, ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME, 49:31 THEY DEVELOPED THE BEST COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, WHERE NEWS 49:34 COULD TRAVEL THE FASTEST BECAUSE OF THE ROADS AND TRADE AND THAT 49:37 WAS THE BEST TIME TO POUR OUT THE HOLY SPIRIT BECAUSE THE JEWS 49:42 AT PENTECOST CAME FROM ALL OVER THE ROMAN EM FIRE WORSHIP, AND 49:46 THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS POURED OUT THEY QUICKLY SCATTERED WITH THE 49:50 GOSPEL MESSAGE THROUGH THE ROMAN ROADS ALL OVER THE WORLD. 49:53 0 THRSTLESZ OF COURSE SOME BRILLIANT DESIGN IN JESUS COMING 49:56 DURING THAT TIME. BUT THE ROMAN EMPIRE, IT ALSO 50:00 WOULD NOT LAST, NOT THE ROME RULED BY THE CAESAR'S, WHAT 50:04 WOULD HAPPEN AFTER THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE? 50:08 IT SAYS THE KINGDOM WILL BE DIVIDED AS THE TOES, FEET WERE 50:11 PARTLY OF IRON AND PARTLY OF CLAY SO THE KINGDOM WILL BE 50:16 PARTLY STRONG AND PARTLY BROKEN. ROME WAS NOT REALLY CONQUERED BY 50:22 ANY ONE EMPIRE, IT IS TRUE THE BARBARIANS AND THE HUNDREDTHS 50:26 LIKE ATTILA THE HUN CAME AND THEY WREAKED HAVOC ON THE ROMAN 50:30 EMPIRE BUT IF YOU READ .. IN THE PHILIP MYERS, ACTUALLY IN EDWARD 50:35 GIBBONS BOOK FIRST HE DESCRIBES THE FIVE THINGS THAT BROUGHT 50:38 DOWN THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE AND I THIS -- I THINK YOU 50:41 WILL FIND THIS INTERESTING. BECAUSE SOME OF IT THINK WE SEE 50:44 IN THE WORLD TODAY. FIVE THINGS THAT LED TO ROME'S 50:50 DOWNFALL. THE UNDERMINING OF THE DIGNITY 50:52 AND SANCTITY OF THE HOME. THE INCREASING IN TAXES AND 50:56 SPENDING OF PUBLIC MONEY FOR BREAD AND CIRCUSES. 51:02 THE MAD PLEASURE, SPORTS BECOMING MORE EXCITING AND MORE 51:05 BRUTAL. THE BUILDING OF ARMAMENTS WHEN 51:07 THE REAL ENEMY WAS THE DECADENCE OF THE PEOPLE. 51:11 THE DECAY OF RELIGION, WITH FAITH FADING INTO MERE FORM. 51:17 PHILIP MIRE IN HIS BOOK ROME, THE RISE AND FALL, HE MADE THIS 51:21 OBSERVATION ABOUT THE ROMANS, ALMOST FROM THE BEGINNING THE 51:24 ROMANS STAGE WAS GROSS AND IMMORAL, IT WAS ONE OF THE MAIN 51:28 AGENCIES THROUGH WHICH MUST BE ATTRIBUTED THE UNDERMINING OF 51:30 WHAT ORIGINALLY HAD BEEN A SOUND MORAL LIVE OF THE ROMAN SOCIETY, 51:37 DURING OCTAVIAN AUGUSTUS CAESAR HE WAS A STRONG GENERAL BUT 51:40 BELIEVED IN THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FAMILY AND THE HOME AND THE 51:42 MARRIAGE, BUT IT IS A SUCCEEDING CAESARS CAME ALONG SO MANY WERE 51:48 SO DEBAUCHED LIKE NERO THEY BEGAN TO CRUMBLE, ROME WAS NOT 51:51 DESTROYED FROM THE OUTSIDE, IT WE 51:53 ERODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. IT SAID, SO ABSORBED DID THE 51:58 PEOPLE BECOME IN THE END DECENT REPRESENTATIONS OF THE STAGE 52:03 THEY THOUGHT ALL LOST AND AFFAIRS FOR THE AFFAIRS OF REAL 52:06 LIFE AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE HDTV BACK THEN, BUT THEY BECAME 52:10 SO DISTRACTED WITH ENTERTAINMENT, YOU WONDER WHAT 52:16 THAT, WHAT THEY WOULD SAY ABOUT THE WORLD TODAY, YOU WONDER HOW 52:18 MUCH LONGER ANY EMPIRE CAN LAST WITH WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE 52:22 WORLD AND THE IMMORALITY. SO ROME SORT OF DISINTEGRATED 52:26 AND IT FELL INTO REALLY TEN DIFFERENT KINGDOMS. 52:30 AND JUST LIKE THE FEET OF THE NONE, STATE USE GET THE TEN TOES 52:33 AND THE FEET WERE IRON MIXED WITH CLAY, STILL HAD THE ROMAN 52:36 INFLUENCE, THE IRON, BUT IT WAS MIXED WITH CLAY, AND, YOU KNOW, 52:40 THE AGE SUBJECT NAMES WERE THE VANDALS IN NORTH AFRICA, LOCAL 52:44 BARDS IN I ITALY, OS EXTRA GATS, THE BURGUNDIANS, THE FRANK, 52:50 WHAT, ALEMANS WOULD BE THE GERMAN, ANGLO SAXONS, THE SWEDES 52:55 AND THE SPANISH AND THOSE ARE OF COURSE THE MORE MODERN NAMES BUT 52:59 THAT BRINGS US DOWN TO WE ARE IN THE LAST ELEMENT HERE WHICH IS 53:02 THE FEET. OF IRON AND CLAY. 53:06 NOW I THINK IT IS VERY INTERESTING THE FEET OF IRN AND 53:08 CLAY HERE IS A LITTLE AMAZING FACT THIS IS THE PANTHEON. 53:14 IT IS ONE TOSTLEDDEST CONCRETE BUILDINGS IN THE WORLD. 53:17 THIS WAS BUILT FROM ANCIENT ROMAN CEMENT BUT IT WAS NOT 53:23 REINFORCED. 2000 YEARS OLD, I GUESS SEA STAR 53:26 BUILT IT AND INCREDIBLY IT SURVIVED SEVERAL EARTHQUAKES AND 53:29 STILL THERE TODAY, AND REALLY MAKES YOU WONDER, IT WASN'T 53:33 UNTIL ABOUT 1867 THAT REREINFORCED CONCRETE WAS 53:38 DEVELOPED. LET ME SHARE WITH YOU A LITTLE 53:39 AMAZING FACT ABOUT THAT. HERE CONCRETE IS USED MORE THAN 53:46 ANY OTHER MAN-MADE MATERIAL IN THE WORLD. 53:49 WHY AM I SAYING THIS? WHAT IS CONCRETE. 53:51 >> WHAT DID DANIEL SEE? THE FEET ARE MADE OF IRON AND 53:56 MIRE CLAY, I WONDER HOW A PROPHET WOULD DESCRIBE THE 53:59 WORLD'S NUMBER ONE BUILDING MATERIAL TODAY? 54:03 CONCRETE IS USED MORE THAN ANY OTHER MAN-MADE MATERIAL IN THE 54:06 WORLD, ADMISSION CONCRETE IS THE SECOND MOST CONSUMED SUBSTANCE 54:08 IN THE WORLD, THAT DOESN'T MEAN PEOPLE EAT IT, BEHIND WATER. 54:13 THE INDUSTRY ALONE IS WORTH OVER 37 BILLION, AND EMPLOYEES MORE 54:18 THAN 2 MILLION EMPLOYEES IN THE UNITED STATES. 54:21 10 BILLION TONS OF CON CONCRETE ARE PRODUCED EVERY YEAR, IT IS THE 54:25 NUMBER ONE BUILDING MATERIAL IN THE WORLD, AND ALL AROUND THE 54:30 WORLD NOW THE EMPIRES ARE BUILT OUT OF IRON AND MIRE CLAY, VERY 54:35 INTERESTING .. SO THESE KINGDOMS LET ME GO BACK AND READ 54:39 QUESTION 10 AGAIN, WOULD ANY OF THESE KINGDOMS SUCCEED IN 54:43 UNITING AGAIN? THE PROPHET SAYS THEY WILL 54:45 MINGLE THEMSELVES WITH THE FEET OF MEN, THAT MEANS THEY 54:48 INTERMARRY WITH THE DESCENDANT BUT NOT CHIEF ONE TO ANOTHER 54:52 JUST AS IRON IS NOT MIXED WITH MIRE CLAY, WITH CONCRETE YOU 54:56 WILL STILL FIND IRON AND STILL FIND CLAY AND THEY DON'T BLEND 55:01 LIKE OIL AND WATER. JUST ONE LITTLE FOOTNOTE FROM 55:04 HISTORY QUEEN VICTORIA, UNTIL QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND, SHE 55:08 WAS THE LONGEST REIGNING QUEEN IN HISTORY, I THINK 63 YEARS WAS 55:12 HER REIGN, HER DESCENDANTS INCLUDING 40 GRANDCHILDREN TO 55:17 MARRIED INTO ALMOST EVERY ROYAL FAMILY IN EUROPE, THEY WERE 55:20 TRYING DESPERATELY TO REUNITE EUROPE AND SO TIRED OF WAR, IF 55:25 WE JUST ALL INTERMARRY WE CAN HAVE A LASTING PEACE BUT IT 55:30 DIDN'T WORK, THEY TRIED TO ENTER MINGLE WITH THE SEED OF MEN, 55:34 THAT'S WHAT THEY TRIED TO DO IN THIS TIME AND ALL OF THESE 55:37 ARRANGED MARRIAGE WHETHER THEY LIKED OR SAW EACH OTHER OR NOT 55:40 BETWEEN THE SPANISH AND ENGLISH AND THE GERMANS AND THE SWISS 55:43 AND ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT EMPIRES TRYING TO FORGE THROUGH 55:46 MARRIAGE SOME ALLIANCE BUT IT KEPT EVOLVING INTO WAR. 55:50 AND YOU CAN JUST LOOK AT THE HISTORY BOOKS, EVERYBODY FROM 55:54 ATTILA THE HUN, THE CHARLEMAGNE, NAAH POPIAN, HITLER, KEYSER 56:00 WILHELM. >> KIEGZER IS GERMAN FOR CAESAR. 56:02 YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORD CZAR MEANS? 56:05 IT IS RUSSIAN FOR CESAR. THEY ALL WANTED TO REFORGE THAT 56:10 ROMAN EMPIRE. AND THE ROMAN INFLUENCE, THE 56:12 IRON WAS STILL MIXED THROUGH IT ALL. 56:14 THE CALENDAR, MANY OF THE GOVERNMENTS WERE BASED ON THE 56:18 ROMAN FOUNDATIONS. SO NOW THAT BRINGS US DOWN TO 56:21 THE VERY ENDS OF TIME. WHO WILL SET UP THE FINAL 56:26 KINGDOM. IT SAYS THE DAYS OF THESE KINGS 56:29 SHALL THE GOD OF HEAVEN SET UP A KINGDOM WHICH SHALL NEVER BE 56:33 DESTROYED. NOW THIS IS TALKING ABOUT THAT 56:36 STONE, THAT COMES FROM THE HEAVENS, CUT WITHOUT MAN'S HANDS 56:40 THAT WILL DESTROY THE IDOL, NOW OUT OF HIS MOUTH GOES A SHARP 56:45 SWORD WITH IT HE SHOULD STRIKE THE NATIONS AND HE HIMSELF WE 56:48 ARE BACK IN REVELATION WHERE WE STARTED HE HIMSELF WILL RULE 56:51 THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, SHE GOING TO DESTROY, THE ONLY THING 56:55 YOU CAN DESTROY WITH IS MORE IRON, AND JESUS' KINGDOM IS ONE 56:59 THAT WILL LAST FOREVER. WHAT DOES THE STONE DO TO THE 57:02 OTHER WORLD KINGDOMS? IT SAYS THE STONE THAT WAS CUT 57:05 WITHOUT HANDS, NOTICE THAT WITHOUT HANDS AGAIN, WHICH SMOKE 57:12 THE IMAGE UPON THE FEET MEANS IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE LAST 57:15 DAYS, THIS IS NOT TALKING ABOUT THE FEET, WHEN CHRIST COMES THE 57:18 SECOND TIME. SMIEGHT THEM ON THE FEET OF IRON 57:23 AND CLAY AND BROKE THEM TO PIECES. 57:25 NOTICE IT SAYS WITHOUT -- I WANT YOU TO NOTICE WHAT JESUS SAID. 57:29 IT SAYS WE HEARD HIM SAY, I WILL DESTROY THIS TEMPLE THAT IS MADE 57:33 WITH HANDS AND WITHIN THREE DAYS I WILL BUILD ANOTHER ONE WITHOUT 57:36 WHAT? WITHOUT HANDS. 57:38 IT IS TALKING ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 57:39 THE KINGDOM OF CHRIST. AND HE IS GOING TO COME AND HE 57:43 WILL THEN WIPE TOUT KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD AND HIS KINGDOM WILL 57:46 BE ETERNAL AND IT FILLS THE WHOLE EARTH. 57:49 THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT HE CREATES A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW 57:54 EARTH WHERE IN DWELLS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THE STONE THAT 57:57 SMOLT THE IMAGE BECAME A GREAT MOUNTAIN, MOUNTAINS WERE OFTEN 58:01 SYMBOLS OF KINGDOMS AND FILLS THE WHOLE EARTH, THERE IS NO 58:04 COMPETITION NOT MOUNTAINS .. THERE IS ONE MOUNTAIN, ONE 58:06 PEOPLE, AND IF YOU WANT TO BE IN THE KINGDOM YOU NEED TO BE A 58:09 PART OF THAT PEOPLE. SO LET'S QUICKLY REVIEW WHAT WE 58:13 SAW HERE IN HISTORY. THE VISION SAID YOU WOULD HAVE 58:17 GOLD WHICH IS WHAT KINGDOM? BABYLON. 58:21 SILVER IS MEADOW PERSIAN. BRONZE IS GREECE, IRON IS ROME, 58:25 THE IRON AND CLAY? DIVIDED KINGDOM OF EUROPE AND 58:29 THE GREAT STONE IS CHRIST'S KINGDOM. 58:33 EVERYTHING HAPPENED IN ORDER, AGAIN .. DON'T MISS THIS, EACH 58:38 KINGDOM LASTS LONGER THAN THE ONE BEFORE. 58:39 EACH KINGDOM IS HARDER THAN THE ONE BEFORE. 58:45 AND ALSO YOU ARE REALIZING THAT THE VALUE OF THE EARTHLY 58:50 KINGDOMS, THE GOLD, THE SILVER, THE BRONZE, THE IRON, THEY ARE 58:55 DIMINISHING IN VALUE. AND THE FINALE THE ONE THAT IS 58:58 OF ETERNAL VALUE IS THE STONE, CHRIST, THE ROCK OF AGES. 59:03 FRIENDS, AFTER HEARING DANIEL'S CLEAR INTERPRETATION, THIS IS 59:06 QUESTION 14, IT IS REALLY AN APPEAL, WHAT DID THE DREAM OF -- 59:11 AFTER HE HEARD THE DREAM, WHAT DID NEBUCHADNEZZAR SAY ABOUT THE 59:14 LORD? THE KING ANSWERED AND SIDE 59:18 DANIEL, OF A TRUTH IT IS YOUR GOD IS A GOOD OF GODS AND A LORD 59:21 OF KINGS AND A REVEALER OF SECRETS. 59:25 YOU KNOW,, CAN YOU IMAGINE THE EXPRESSION ON THE KING'S FACE 59:30 WHEN DANIEL NOT ONLY SAID WELL HERE LET ME TELL YOU WHAT DREAM 59:33 WAS, AND THEN HE SAID NOW I WILL TELL YOU THE INTERPRETATION. 59:36 AS DANIEL WAS RELATING THE DREAM I AM SURE THAT THE GLINT OF 59:40 RECOGNITION WAS IN NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S EYE, YES, YES, 59:44 THAT'S IT. AND HE WAS PROBABLY JUST 59:46 MYSTIFIED HE WANTED TO WORSHIP DANIEL AND BURN INNOCENCE WHEN 59:50 HE SAW THIS MAN HAD THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GODS .. 59:53 REVEALED TO HIM, THIS DREAM HAS PLAYED OUT PERFECTLY IN HISTORY. 59:57 DANIEL GOES ON TO SAY THE DREAM IS CERTAIN AND THE 01:00:01 INTERPRETATION IS SURE. IT IS LIKE JOHN WHEN HE CLOSES 01:00:03 THE BOOK O REVELATION, HE SAID, I JOHN HAVE SEEN THESE THINGS 01:00:07 AND THESE WORDS ARE TRUE. FRIENDS, YOU CAN BELIEVE THIS 01:00:10 WORD OF GOD, NOTHING HAPPENING IN THE WORLD TODAY HAS SURPRISED 01:00:13 THE LORD, EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING RIGHT ON SCHEDULE, AND 01:00:16 I HOPE THAT YOU WILL REALIZE THE NEXT THING ON THE AGENDA, 01:00:19 ACCORDING TO THIS VISION, IS CHRIST IS COMING VERY SOON. 01:00:23 NOW THERE ARE A FEW OTHER THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE HAPPENING 01:00:25 THAT ARE OME SPECIFICS, AND WE WILL BE STUDYING DURING THE 01:00:28 SEMINAR BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT IT IS NOT GOING TO 01:00:31 FAIL, NOW LET ME ILLUSTRATE REAL QUICK IN CLOSING. 01:00:35 SUPPOSE I SAY I WANT YOU TO COME VISIT MRS. BAXTER UP AND I OUT 01:00:39 IN THE HILLS I WON'T GIVE THE EXACT ADDRESS HERE SO STAY WITH 01:00:43 ME. I AND I SAY WELL OKAY YOU GET 01:00:45 OUT ON INTERSTATE FIVE AND YOU DRIVE NORTH UNTIL YOU GET TO THE 01:00:48 TOWN OF WILLOWS AND THERE IN WILLOWS YOU WILL SEE A 90-FOOT 01:00:52 TALL STATUE MADE OF GOLD AND IT WILL SAY HIGHWAY 162, BABYLON. 01:00:57 AND YOU TURN LEFT THERE. SO YOU DRIVE UP THE ROAD AND 01:01:01 SURE ENOUGH THERE IS WILLOWS AND YOU DON'T SEE TOO MANY 90 FEET 01:01:04 TALL STATUES THAT ARE GOLD THAT SAY BABYLON AND YOU SAY THIS IS 01:01:07 IT, TURN LEFT. YOU TURN LEFT AND THEN SAY YOU 01:01:09 DRIVE FOR AN HOUR AND YOU ARE GOING TO COME TO A 90-FOOT 01:01:12 STATUE THAT SAYS PERSIAN ROAD AND YOU TURN RIGHT THERE, YOU 01:01:16 DRIVE AN HOUR AND IN YOU ARE, 90-FOOT STATUE OF SILVER, 01:01:20 PERSIAN ROAD, SO MUST BE -- CAN'T BE ON THE WRONG TRACK 01:01:25 KENTUCKY I, YOU DON'T SEE THAT EVERY DAY, TURN RIGHT AND I SAY 01:01:28 ANOTHER HOUR, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SAY? 01:01:30 YOU ARE GOING TO END UP SEEING A 90-FOOT STATUE OF BRONZE AND IT 01:01:34 SAYS GREEK ROAD, AND YOU TURN THERE. 01:01:37 AND THEN I SAY YOU GO ANOTHER HOUR ANN THEN YOU WILL SEE A 01:01:41 STATUE OF IRON AND THE ROMAN ROAD TURN LEFT HERE, AND THEN 01:01:44 YOU GO ANOTHER HOUR AND YOU ARE GOING TO SEE A STATUE OF IRON 01:01:47 AND CLAY, 90 FEET TALL, AND YOU TURN RIGHT HERE AND IT IS GOING 01:01:51 TO SAY IRON AND CLAY -- AND AT THE END OF THAT ROAD YOU CAN 01:01:56 FIND MY HOME. WHO WOULD DOUBT AFTER EVERYTHING 01:02:02 ALONG THE DIRECTIONS HAS PLAYED OUT EXACTLY AS I SAID THAT THE 01:02:06 LAST PART WOULD FAIL? FRIENDS, GOD HAS PERFECTLY 01:02:10 OUTLINED WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD FROM THE DAYS OF 01:02:12 DANIEL TO OUR FROM PRESENT-DAY AND I SHOULD MENTION RIGHT HERE 01:02:15 ONE IS GOING TO SAY, WELL, PASTOR DOUG, HOW COME THIS 01:02:18 VISION DOESN'T TALK ABOUT THE OTHER GREAT EMPIRES? 01:02:20 WASN'T THERE A GREAT EMPIRE IN THE INCAS AND AZTECS AND IN 01:02:25 CHINA AND THERE WERE OTHER EM FIRES/FLYERS THE WORLD AND 01:02:28 INDIA, THAT'S TRUE, THIS IS DEALING WITH THE EMPIRES THAT 01:02:31 HAD POWER OVER GOD'S PEOPLE. AND SO THAT'S WHY THEY WERE 01:02:36 EMPHASIZING THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED IN HISTORY, FRIENDS. 01:02:40 WHY WOULD HE DOUBT THE LAST PART THAT JESUS IS COMING AGAIN. 01:02:43 THE NEXT THING ON THE LIST, IS JESUS IS GOING TO RETURN, AND 01:02:47 THEN THE GOOD NEWS, THE GOOD NEWS IF YOU PART OF HIS KINGDOM, 01:02:51 WHEN JESUS OLD HIS MOUTH AND STARTED PREACHING HE SAID REPENT 01:02:55 FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND, PO 2,000 YEARS AGO YOU 01:02:58 COULD CHOOSE TO BECOME A CITIZEN OF THAT KINGDOM AND RIGHT NOW WE 01:03:02 ARE AMBASSADORS IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY BUT SOON JESUS IS GOING 01:03:05 TO COME AND HE IS GOING TO CONQUER ALL OF THE KINGDOMS OF 01:03:08 THIS WORLD, AND HE WILL ULTIMATELY CREATE A NEW HEAVEN 01:03:11 AND A NEW EARTH, YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF THAT KINGDOM. 01:03:14 ONLY WAY THAT HAPPENS, FRIENDS IS YOU COME THE CHRIST AND YOU 01:03:18 ASK HIM TO BE YOUR SAVIOR, TO FOR FIVE YOUR SINS AND TO FILL 01:03:22 YOU WITH HIS SPIRIT. HE PROMISES THAT YOU CAN BE BORN 01:03:25 AGAIN. HE WANTS YOU TO BE IN THAT 01:03:27 KINGDOM AND DIED TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE. 01:03:28 I HOPE THAT YOU WILL ASK HI RIGHT NOW. 01:03:30 LET ME PRAY WITH YOU BEFORE WE CLOSE THIS SEGMENT AND DON'T GO 01:03:34 ANYWHERE, PASTOR ROSS AND I WILL BE BACK AFTERWARD WITH BIBLE 01:03:37 QUESTIONS. FATHER IN HEAVEN, WE ARE VERY 01:03:40 THANKFUL THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN US THE TRUTH IN YOUR WORD, AND 01:03:43 THESE POWERFUL IMPROVE CITIES THAT ARE SO EXCEEDINGLY CLEAR, 01:03:46 LORD WE KNOW THE NEXT THING TO HAPPEN IS YOUR KINGDOM IS GOING 01:03:49 TO COME, THAT ALL OF THE IDOLS AND THE FALSE RELIGIONS AND THE 01:03:53 CONFUSION OF THE WORLD IS GOING TO BE GROUND TO POWDER AND 01:03:56 BROKEN AWAY, BUT YOUR KINGDOM WILL BE THAT ONE WHICH LASTS 01:03:59 FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING, I PRAY THAT WE CAN CHOOSE NOW TO 01:04:04 BE DIGITTED INTO THAT INDUCTED INTO THAT KINGDOM IN THE NAME OF 01:04:09 YOUR SON JESUS, AND WE PRAISE HIS NAME, AMEN, WE WILL BE RIGHT 01:04:14 BACK, DON'T GO ANYWHERE, BIBLE QUESTIONS IN JUST A MOMENT. 01:04:19 >> THE LONGEST RIVER IN THE NILE, OVER 4,250 MILES LONG AND 01:04:39 THE AMAZING THING IS, EVEN THE KINGDOM OF EGYPT DID NOT KNOW 01:04:42 WHAT WAS THE SOURCE OF THE NILE. FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, PEOPLE 01:04:46 AROUND THE MEDITERRANEAN, EUROPE, THEY ALL WONDERED WHERE 01:04:48 THE NILE RIVER ACTUALLY CAME FROM. 01:04:52 THERE WERE SOME AMAZING CRAZY THEORIES, SOME THOUGHT IT WENT 01:04:55 UNDERGROUND FOR HUNDREDS OF MILES AND CAME UP AGAIN AND EVEN 01:04:58 SENT ARMIES TO FIND THE SOURCE BUT THEY COULD NEVER FIND SOURCE 01:05:01 OF THE MAIN TRIBUTARY. IT WASN'T UNTIL 1863 WHEN JOHN 01:05:07 WENT ON AN EXPEDITION FROM ENGLAND AND HE DISCOVERED THE 01:05:11 LARGEST LAKE IN AFRICA AND THE SECOND LARGEST FRESHWATER LAKE 01:05:14 IN THE WORLD, NEXT TO LAKE SUPERIOR IN AMERICA HE NAMED IT 01:05:19 AFTER THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND, LAKE VICTORIA AND WHAT IS REALLY 01:05:24 IMPORTANT IS WHEN THE WATER RAIN OUT OF LAKE VICTORIA, THE SOURCE 01:05:28 OF THE NILE, PEOPLE HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR IT FOR THOUSANDS OF 01:05:32 YEARS. SO A FEW YEARS LATER IN 1872, 01:05:35 WHEN HENRY MORTON STANLEY THE ONE FOUND DAVID LIVINGSTON WHEN 01:05:41 HE WAS EXPLORING HE EXPLORED THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE LAKE 01:05:45 CONFIRMING IT WAS THE SOURCE OF THE NILE. 01:05:47 YOU KNOW, THE GOSPEL OF JOHN CHAPTER 4 TELLS ABOUT A WOMAN 01:05:50 WHO CAME TO A WELL TO JUST GET A DRINK OF AVERAGE WATER BUT THERE 01:05:54 SHE MET JESUS WHO IS THE LIVING WATER, HE SAID THE WATER THAT 01:05:57 YOU ARE DRINKING NOW IT IS GOING TO LEAVE YOU THIRSTY AGAIN, AND 01:06:01 YOU WILL NEED TO JUST KEEP COMING AND NEVER BE SATISFIED, 01:06:03 BUT I AM THE SOURCE OF LIVING WATER THAT WILL BE AN ARTESIAN 01:06:08 WELL OF LIFE SPRINGING UP IN YOUR HEART AND HE OFFERED HER 01:06:11 THIS LIVING WATER, FRIENDS HE IS OFFERING ALL OF US LIVING WATER 01:06:14 THAT COMES FROM ACCEPTING JESUS. HAVE YOU DISCOVERED THE SOURCE? 01:06:25 I WANT TO WELCOME YOU ALL BACK, FRIENDS. 01:06:31 HELLO FRIENDS, WE WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME YOU ALL BACK TO 01:06:34 REVELATION NOW, AND PASTOR DOUG HAS DONE A GREAT STUDY OF 01:06:37 LOOKING AT DANIEL CHAPTER 2 AND NOW GETTING INTO OUR BIBLE 01:06:41 QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT. 01:07:21 PASTOR DOUG, ARE WE READY FOR OUR BIBLE QUESTIONS. 01:07:24 >> JUST GIVE ME A SECOND. >> HE GAVE ME A COUGH DROP 01:07:30 BETWEEN PROGRAMS AND I DON'T WANT TO SWALLOW IT, I MIGHT 01:07:33 CHOKE ON IT BUT I DON'T WANT TO CHEW IT UP. 01:07:35 YOU ONLY DO THIS TO YOUR WIFE. >> OKAY. 01:07:38 WE ARE GOOD NOW, I AM READY. >> IT IS PROOF THIS IS LIVE SO, 01:07:43 YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS THAT -- WE HAVE TO 01:07:47 START PUTTING UP ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT HAS COME IN AND 01:07:49 YOU CAN DO THAT AT THIS TIME. THE QUESTION IS, WHEN WILL 01:07:55 CHRIST SET UP HIS KINGDOM ON THE EARTH? 01:07:58 WELL THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, BECAUSE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE 01:08:01 KINGDOM OF JESUS, THERE ARE REALLY TWO ASPECTS OF IT. 01:08:04 YOU HAVE THE SPIRITUAL KINGDOM THAT TECHNICALLY HAS BEEN AROUND 01:08:07 EVER SINCE THE GARDEN OF EDEN, WHEN ADAM AND EVE OFFERED THE 01:08:11 LAMB THEY OFFERED THE SACRIFICE OF GOD'S SON THAT WOULD COME, 01:08:14 THEY WOULD BE FOR GIVEN BASED ON FAITH, YOU KNOW, ABRAHAM WAS 01:08:17 PART OF THAT KINGDOM, IT CAME MORE VIVIDLY WHEN JESUS DAME 01:08:21 FIRST TIME AND HE SAID THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND. 01:08:24 AND HE WAS PREACHING THAT AS WAS JOHN THE BAPTIST, WITHIN WEEKS 01:08:29 THE SPIRITUAL KINGDOM. THE LITERAL KINGDOM WHERE JESUS 01:08:33 ACTUALLY CREATES A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH THAT IS GOING TO 01:08:36 HAPPEN, WELL, GOD'S PEOPLE ARE TAKEN TO THE MANSIONS HE 01:08:39 PREPARED OF THE SECOND COMING AND NEW JERUSALEM SAYS THAT 01:08:43 KINGDOM COMES DOWN THIS CAMPAIGN 21 FOLLOWING THE MILLENNIUM. 01:08:47 SO THERE ARE THESE PHASES OF REALITY IN THE KINGDOM. 01:08:50 WE BECOME CITIZENS NOW IN THE KINGDOM WHEN WE ACCEPT JESUS, 01:08:54 BUT THERE ARE STILL WARS THIS THIS LIFE. 01:08:55 >> I BELIEVE WE HAVE A WHOLE PRESENTATION COMING THAT IS 01:08:58 GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THAT 1,000 YEARS, THE MILLENNIUM SO 01:09:03 STAY TUNED FOR THAT. >> THE NEXT QUESTION WE HAVE FO 01:09:05 THIS EVENING, IT SAYS WHAT KIND OF BODIES WILL PEOPLE HAVE IN 01:09:09 GOD'S NEW KING CAN.COM? >> AND AGAIN WE HAVE GOT A 01:09:12 LESSON THAT WILL GO INTO MORE DETAIL TALKING ABOUT WHAT 01:09:15 REVELATION SAYS ABOUT THE RESURRECTION AND ETERNAL LIFE, 01:09:20 BUT WE ARE NOT GHOSTS, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE OFTEN THINK I AM NOT SO 01:09:24 SURE I WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN AND BE A BABY NAKED FAT CHERUB ON A 01:09:29 CLOUD INSTRUMENT AGO HANDWRITTEN OR, A HARP, THAT IS NOT WHAT IT 01:09:36 IS LIKE, PHILIPPIANS SAYS WE WILL HAVE BODIES LIKENED TO HIS 01:09:41 GLORIOUS BODY AND WHEN HE APPEARED TO THE DISSIGN UNLESS 01:09:43 THE UPPER ROOM HE SAID TOUCH ME, FEEL ME. 01:09:46 A SPIRIT DOESN'T HAVE FLESH AND BONE AS YOU SEE THAT I HAVE. 01:09:49 AND THEN HE SAID I AM HUNGRY. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO EAT? 01:09:51 AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, TWO OR THREE TIMES WHEN HE APPEARED TO 01:09:53 THE DISCIPLES, HE ATE, HE SHOWED THEM HE WAS VERY REAL. 01:09:58 AND SO AS WHEN GOT CREATED ADAM AND EVE THEY HAD REAL BODIES AND 01:10:02 TO THE WORLD MADE NEW WE HAVE REAL BODIES BUT THEY HAVE THE 01:10:05 ADDED SPIRITUAL DIMENSION YES LOST BECAUSE OF SIN. 01:10:08 >> OKAY. AND WE HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION 01:10:10 BEFORE WE GO TO THE QUESTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SENT IN THROUGH 01:10:13 FACEBOOK. THE QUESTION IS, WHAT PART DOES 01:10:15 FREE CHOICE HAVE IN DETERMINING WHO WILL BE SAVED AND WHO WILL 01:10:19 BE LOST? >> YES, I SAW THAT QUESTION AND 01:10:20 I THOUGHT WELL THIS HAS BEEN A BIG DEBATE OF CHRISTIANITY FOR 01:10:25 MILLENNIA RIGHT NOW LAST 2,000 YEARS THE SUBJECT OF GOD'S 01:10:29 SOVEREIGN POWER AND FREE WILL. AND THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT 01:10:34 GOD IS SOVEREIGN BUT IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT GOD DOES GIVE PEOPLE 01:10:39 CHOICE AND THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ARE SAVED BY HAZE BRACE AND HIS 01:10:44 -- GOD IS VERY CLEAR THAT HIS PROVIDENCE DOES INTERVENE THE 01:10:48 OUR LIVES AS HE DID WITH THE APOSTLE PAUL AND UP ON THE CROSS 01:10:52 BUT THEN WE MAKE CHOICES, THAT'S WHY JOSHUA SAID CHOOSY E TODAY 01:10:57 WHO YOU WILL SERVE AND CHRIST SAID SAYS WHOEVER WILL, HE HAS 01:11:01 GIVEN US A WILL, WE CAN CHOOSE, NOW GOD KNOWS WHAT PEOPLE WILL 01:11:04 CHOOSE BECAUSE HE KNOWS EVERYTHING, BUT BECAUSE HE KNOWS 01:11:08 IT, DOESN'T MEAN HE HAS TAKEN AWAY THEIR ABILITY TO CHOOSE. 01:11:12 AND SOS SO IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO PEOPLE, 01:11:15 SOME PEOPLE SAY WELL GOD IS GOING TO SAVE WHO HE SAVES AND 01:11:20 IF I HAVE NO CHOICELY WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. 01:11:22 YOU DO NEED TO MAKE A CHOICE AND YOU DO NEED TO CHOOSE TO COME 01:11:26 CAN THAT'S PART IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND. 01:11:28 >> WE HAVE A BOOK THAT FOLKS CAN READ ONLINE, CAN A SAVED MAN 01:11:33 DECIDE TO BE LOST. YOU CAN CLICK ON THE FREE 01:11:35 LIBRARY RESOURCE AND YOU READ THE BOOK. 01:11:37 >> ABSOLUTELY. >> ALL RIGHT GOING INTO SOME OFOF 01:11:41 REQUEST ALTERNATES ARE COMING THROUGH FACEBOOK. 01:11:43 THIS IS A QUESTION, TIED IN A LITTLE BIT WITH LAST NIGHT'S 01:11:47 PRESENTATION, IT SAYS I HAVE A QUESTION IS THE SECOND COMING 01:11:49 AND THE RAPTURE THE SAME EVENT? >> WELL, YES. 01:11:55 WELL, WHEN JESUS COMES, FIRST OF ALL, THE FIRST IS WHEN CHRIST 01:11:58 CAME AS OUR SACRIFICE, HE CAME AS A LAMB. 01:12:01 HE CAME QUIETLY AND MEEKLY. AND -- BUT THE JEWISH LEADERS, 01:12:05 MANY OF THEM, TEACH APOSTLES THEY THOUGHT HE WAS COMING LIKE 01:12:09 A CONQUERING KING THE FIRST TIME BUZZ THERE ARE PROPHECIES IN THE 01:12:12 BIBLE AMOUNT THAT TALK ABOUT CHRIST COMING AS A CONQUERING 01:12:17 KING, THAT'S THE SECOND COMING. SO HE CAME AS A LAMB BUT THEY 01:12:22 GOT THE LAMB AND THE LION MIXED-UP. 01:12:24 AND NOW JESUS IS COMING LIKE A LION NEXT TIME AND MANY PEOPLE 01:12:28 THINK SHE COMING QUIETLY, A SECRET RAPTURE, BUT WHEN HE 01:12:31 COMES NEXT TIME, YOU CAN READ IT IN FIRST THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 01:12:35 4 THE LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT, THE 01:12:38 VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL THE TRUMPET OF GOD AND THE DEAD WILL 01:12:42 RISE AND WE WHO ARE ALIVE WILL BE CAUGHT UP, THAT'S RAPTURE, SO 01:12:47 WHEN JESUS COMES WITH THAT TRUMP, THE SHOUT, THE LOUD 01:12:52 NOISE, THE ROAR, THAT'S WHEN WE ARE CAUGHT UP TO MEET HIM IN THE 01:12:55 AIR, WE ARE TRANSFORMED AND GIVEN GLORIFIED BODIES AND THAT 01:12:59 IS THE AM RAPTURE AND FOLLOWING THE TRIP POPULATION. 01:13:02 THAT'S WHY HE SAID HE THAT ENDURES TO THE END WILL BE 01:13:05 SAVED. ALL RIGHT WE HAVE A QUESTION 01:13:06 COMING FROM PAUL WHO IS IN MEXICO, HE IS NINE YEARS OLD, 01:13:11 AND HERE IS HIS QUESTION. IT SAYS ARE GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT 01:13:15 SPIRIT AND JESUS THREE PERSONS OR ONE PERSON? 01:13:17 I AM CONFUSED. >> AND DON'T FEEL BADLY A LOT OF 01:13:22 PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH THIS ISSUE, BUT I THINK THE BIBLE IS VERY 01:13:24 CLEAR THAT THERE ARE THREE DISTINCT PERSONS IN WHAT WE 01:13:28 WOULD CALL THE GODHEAD. FOLKS SOMETIMES ARE THROWN 01:13:32 BECAUSE JESUS AND MOSES, YOU KNOW, THEY SAY HERE OUR LORD IS 01:13:37 GOD IS ONE AND LOVE THE HEART ALL OF THY HEART AND STRENGTH. 01:13:41 >> THAT DIFFICULT NOD, THAT DID NOT MEAN NUMERICAL QUANTITY, A 01:13:45 MAN LEAVES HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND CHIEFS TO HIS WIFE AND THEY 01:13:49 TWO BECOME ONE. AND I DON'T KNOW 17, JESUS 01:13:51 PRAYED FOR THE APOSTLES, FATHER THAT THEY MIGHT BE ONE AS WE ARE 01:13:55 ONE. WELL WE KNOW APOSTLES THERE ARE 01:13:57 12 OF THEM AFTER JUDAS WAS REPLACED. 01:14:01 AND THAT MEANS THAT JESUS IS .. SEPARATE, THE FATHER IS SEPARATE 01:14:05 BUT THEY ARE ONE, AT THE BAPTISM WE SEE GOD THE FATHER SAYING 01:14:08 THIS IS MY SON, WE ARE IN TO DIFFERENT PLACES AND GOD SPIRIT 01:14:11 COMING DOWN LIKE A DOVE. AND SO WE BELIEVE THERE ARE 01:14:15 THREE DISTINCT PERSONS IN WHAT WE WOULD CALL THE GODHEAD, THE 01:14:18 FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, PERFECTLY ONE AND 01:14:21 UNITED, BUT THEY ARE THREE DISTINCT PERSONS WITH DISTINCT 01:14:24 OFFICES, I THINK WE GOD A BOOK ON THAT TOO IF PEOPLE WANT. 01:14:26 >> THAT'S RIGHT. IT IS CALLED THE TRINITY, IS IT 01:14:29 BIBLICAL? A. 01:14:30 >> YES AND GO TO THE AMAZING FACTS 01:14:33 WEBSITE AND YOU READ THE BOOK. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY I 01:14:34 BELIEVE THAT IN THE HEBREW LANGUAGE THERE ARE ACTUALLY 01:14:38 DIFFERENT WORDS USED THAT ARE TRANSLATED AS ONE. 01:14:41 IN THE HEBREW THERE IS A PLURAL FORM OF THE WORD ONE. 01:14:45 >> UH-HUH. >> THIS IS A SINGULAR FORM BUT 01:14:47 ALSO PLEURAL, AS YOU SAID, ONE CAN MEAN ONE IN PURPOSE, UNITED, 01:14:51 NOT NECESSARILY NUMERICAL ONENESS. 01:14:53 >> GOOD POINT IN GENESIS WHEN GOD CREATES, LET US, THERE IS A 01:14:57 PLURAL FORM OF GOD THERE. >> YES. 01:14:58 >> LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE AND HE SAYS THAT AGAIN IN 01:15:02 GENESIS 11, THE MAN HAS BECOME LIKE US. 01:15:04 SO YES, I THINK THERE IS ALL THE WAY FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION 01:15:06 YOU CAN SEE THE THREE PERSONS OF THE GODHEAD. 01:15:09 >> ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE GOT SOMEBODY ASKING, WHY 01:15:12 DO THINGS COME IN THREES IN REVELATION? 01:15:15 >> SPEAKING OF THREES, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE MAY AS WELL JUST 01:15:19 UNPACK, TALK ABOUT BIBLE NUMBERS FOR A MINUTE AND THIS MAY COME 01:15:21 UP AGAIN, SO I HOPE YOU CAN BEAR WITH US IF WE DO SOME 01:15:26 REPETITION. BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN NUMBERS 01:15:27 THAT HAVE MEANINGS IN REVELATION THE NUMBER 12 COMES UP QUITE A 01:15:33 BIT, AND IT IS OFTEN THE NUMBER FOR THE CHURCH, YOU HAVE GOT THE 01:15:36 LEADERSHIP OF THE CHURCH, 12 APOSTLES, 12 JUDGES, 12 TRIBES, 01:15:40 THE CHURCH LIVES IN A CITY THAT IS 12,000 FURLONGS WITH 12 GATES 01:15:44 AND TREE OF LIFE WITH 12 KINDS OF FRUIT, 12 TIMES A YEAR, 144, 01:15:49 SO YOU HAVE GOT 12 AS THE CHURCH, SEVEN IS REPRESENTING 01:15:53 GOD'S PERFECTION, PERFECT CYCLE, THE WEEK, AND THEN REVELATION 01:15:57 YOU WILL HAVE TO PASS ME, SEVEN TRUMPETS, SEVEN CHURCHES, SEVEN 01:16:02 PLAGUES, SEVEN SEALS, SEVEN EYES, SEVEN HORNS, I KNOW I AM 01:16:07 FOR GETTING SOME. >> SEVEN THUNDERS. 01:16:08 >> YES. >> JUST GET -- YES, YOU GET YOUR 01:16:12 COMPUTER OUT AND SEE A LOT OF SEVENS. 01:16:14 >> I DON'T KNOW IF YOU MENTIONED PLAGUES. 01:16:16 >> YES A LOT OF SEVENS. >> AND THEN YOU HAVE THREE, SEE 01:16:18 A NUMBER THAT IS SORT OF LIKE -- IT IS A NUMBER TALKING ABOUT 01:16:23 GOD, YOU HAVE GOT, YOU KNOW, GOD THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT 01:16:27 BUT IN REVELATION EVERY TIME YOU SEE THREE DOESN'T MEAN GOD, IT 01:16:31 MEANS YOU A COUNTERFEIT TRINI REVELATION OF THE BEAST, THE 01:16:34 DRAGON AND THE FALSE PROPHET AND WHEN THE JUDGMENT COMES, THE 01:16:37 CITY IS DIVIDED IN THREE PARTS, YOU SEE THREE ALL THE WAY 01:16:42 THROUGH THE BECOME OF REVELATION. 01:16:44 AND LATER WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE NUMBER 666 AND SOME OF THE OTHER 01:16:47 NUMBERS. >> MAYBE WE WILL JUST MENTION 01:16:49 ONE NUMBER, PASTOR YOU BROUGHT IT UP, NUMBER 2 IN THE BIBLE, 01:16:53 SIGNIFICANT YOU HAVE THE TWO WITNESSES. 01:16:54 >> YES. >> ACTUALLY IN REVELATION 01:16:56 CHAPTER 11, WE A ADD QUESTION ABOUT THAT, YOU HAVE THE NUMBER 01:16:58 FOUR WHICH REPRESENTS THE FOUR POINTS OF THE COMPASS, THE 01:17:01 REASON THAT IS SIGNIFICANT IS BECAUSE REVELATION CHAPTER 01:17:04 7 TALKS ABOUT ANGELS HOLDING THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH. 01:17:06 >> YES. >> AND THERE ARE OTHERS. 01:17:08 >> AND TWO IS THE WORD OF GOD. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 01:17:10 >> THE WORD OF GOD IS SHARPER THAN A TWO-EDGED SWORD, TEN 01:17:13 COMMANDMENTS ON TWO TABLES OF STONE, AND IN THE MOUTH OF TWO 01:17:16 OR THREE WITNESSES, SO, YES. >> FIVE IS TEACHING BUT WE WILL 01:17:21 GET TO ALL OF THAT LATER ON. >> THIS QUESTION IS, THIS PERSON 01:17:26 IS ASKING HOW DO WE KNOW IF A TREATMENT IS IMPORTANT OR IS 01:17:32 SIGNIFICANT? >> WELL, THAT IS A GOOD 01:17:35 QUESTION. AND I GET A LOT OF CALLS EVERY 01:17:38 NOW AND THEN PEOPLE SAY PASTOR DOUG I HAVE A DREAM CAN YOU TELL 01:17:40 ME WHAT IT MEANS AND I WILL TELL YOU FRIENDS I DON'T KNOW IF I 01:17:43 HAVE EVER ACCUSED OF HAVING THE GIFT OF INTERPRETATION AND, YOU 01:17:46 KNOW, SOMETIMES I THINK GOD DOES SPEAK TO PEOPLE THROUGH DREAMS 01:17:49 AND I THINK THAT IF HE GIVES YOU A DREAM THAT IS FROM HIM, HE 01:17:52 WILL BE VERY VIVID AND VERY CLEAR, VERY REAL AND GOD WILL 01:17:56 EITHER GIVE YOU SOMEONE TO UNDERSTAND THE DREAM OR HE WILL 01:18:00 GIVE YOU THE UNDERSTANDING, SOMETIMES GOD WILL GIVE US A 01:18:02 DREAM THAT IS FRIGHTENING, AND IT IS A WARNING AND YOU KNOW 01:18:05 THAT GOD IS TELLING YOU SOMETHING IN A DREAM. 01:18:09 AND, YOU KNOW, I KNOW SOME PEOPLE THAT DREAM THAT THEY WERE 01:18:11 LOST AND JESUS CAME AND THEY WOKE UP AND SO THANKFUL THAT IT 01:18:15 WAS JUST A DREAM. AND THEY HAD A CHANCE. 01:18:18 AFTER I QUIT SMOKING I WAS REALLY TENNED FOR A LONG TIME TO 01:18:21 START AGAIN, IT WAS A BIG BATTLE FOR ME, AND I DREAMED THAT I HAD 01:18:24 STARTED SMOKING AGAIN AND I WAS SO ASHAMED, AND I WOKE UP AND I 01:18:29 WAS SO GRAD IT WAS A DREAM. I NEVER DID SMOKE AGAIN. 01:18:33 SO GOD LIKE HE TOLD ME, YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THIS. 01:18:36 THINK ABOUT THE SHAME THAT YOU WILL FEEL. 01:18:37 SO IT MIGHT BE PERSONAL. AND SO IF GOD GIVES YOU A DREAM 01:18:40 HE WILL EITHER LET YOU KNOW OR HE WILL SEND SOMEBODY, HE WON'T 01:18:43 GIVE YOU A MESSAGE TO, TO NOT HAVE YOU ABLE TO UNDERSTAND IT. 01:18:48 >> ANOTHER QUESTION THAT IS COMING, PASTOR, WHAT ABOUT 01:18:52 PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS AS IT RELATES TO 01:18:55 THEIR SALVATION? >> WELL GOD IS GOOD. 01:18:59 TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN MUCH IS REQUIRED AND IF WE HAVE, YOU 01:19:02 KNOW, GREAT UNDERSTANDING WE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT. 01:19:05 PEOPLE WHO ARE YOUNG OR THEY ARE HANDICAPPED AND JUST COMPREHEND 01:19:09 THE ISSUES OF RIGHT AND WRONG AND WHAT IS AT STAKE IN THOSE 01:19:13 DECISIONS GOD IS VERY MERCIFUL SO I DON'T THINK WE EVER HAVE TO 01:19:16 WORRY ABOUT HIM JUDGING PEOPLE THAT WAY. 01:19:19 AND, YOU KNOW, EVEN -- I KNOW SOME GOOD CHRISTIANS THEY GET 01:19:22 OLD AND STRUGGLE WITH DEMENTIA AND IT IS CLEARLY A PHYSICAL 01:19:25 PROBLEM AND THEIR BRAIN HAS BEEN AFFECTED AND THEIR BEHAVIOR MAY 01:19:28 CHANGE AND THE CEREBRUM, THE CEREBELLUM IS THE FRONT, 01:19:34 CEREBRUM IS NO LONGER CONTROLLING THEIR RATIONAL 01:19:36 THINGS ARE BEING CONTROLLED BY LOWER NATURE AND GOD KNOWS THAT 01:19:39 AND HE WILL JUDGE THEM BASED ON THE TENOR OF TEAR LIFE, DON'T 01:19:43 WORRY, GOD IS HER CIVIL. >> HE IS JUST. 01:19:45 >> WE HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS THAT HAVE COME IN ABOUT 01:19:48 REVELATION. AND THE QUESTION IS, CAN YOU YOU 01:19:50 TELL US MORE ABOUT THE TWO WITNESSES IN REVELATION CHAPTER 01:19:54 11? >> YES, AND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T 01:19:55 THINK WE HAVE A SPECIFIC LESSON ON THAT SO WE WILL TAKE A 01:19:59 MOMENT. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. 01:20:01 SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT TWO WITNESSES ARE MOSES AND ELIJAH 01:20:04 AND IN A SENSE, THEY ARE, NOW STAY WITH ME. 01:20:07 LAST PROPHETS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, MALACHI CHAPTER 01:20:10 4 SAYS REMEMBER THE LAW OF MOSES, BEHOLD I SEND YOU A 01:20:15 ELIJAH THE PROPHET AND TRENT WORD OF GOD. 01:20:17 MOSES IS THE LAW, ELIJAH IS THE PROPHETS THEY APPEAR TO JESUS ON 01:20:22 THIS MOUNT OF TRANSFIGURATION IN MARK CHAPTER 9, AND SO WHEN IT 01:20:26 TALKS ABOUT THE TO WITNESSES IN REVELATION 11 IT SAYS THEY GOT 01:20:29 POWER TO PROCLAIM PLAGUES TO SET UP THE HEAVENS SO IT DOESN'T 01:20:32 RAIN, AND BOTH MOSES AND ELIJAH THEY SEND FIRE, FIRE CAME DOWN 01:20:37 FOR BOTH OF THEM AND THERE WERE PLAGUES, ELIJAH PRAYED AND IT 01:20:42 DIDN'T RAIN AND HE PRAYED AGAIN AND IT DID RAIN YOU SEE POWER OF 01:20:46 GOD IN THEIR TEACHINGS, HE SAID THESE 22 WITNESSES THEY ARE 01:20:50 SLAIN AND THEIR BODIES LIE IN THE STREET, SOME PEOPLE THINK 01:20:52 THAT MOSES AND ELIJAH WILL COME BACK DOWN-TO-EARTH AND BE KILLED 01:20:56 AND FLY THE STREET, NO THEY HAVE GOT A GLORIFIED BODIES AND IN 01:20:59 HEAVEN NOW AND WON'T DIE AGAIN. IT IS TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY 01:21:04 REPRESENT THE WORD OF GOD WILL BE UNDER ATTACK IN THE LAST 01:21:07 DAYS. AND MANY SCHOLARS THAT BELIEVE 01:21:11 IN THE HISTORIC VIEW OF PROPHECY THEY INTERPRET THAT REVELATION 01:21:15 11 IS TALKING ABOUT THE BIRTH OF ATHEISM, WHEN IT GAME FIRST 01:21:18 NATION THAT OFFICIAL RIO DE JANEIRO CLAIRD THERE IS NO GOD, 01:21:22 THEY BURNED BIBLES, THE WORD OF GOD IN THE STREETS, 0 FOR 3 AND 01:21:25 A HALF YEARS THEY OUTLAWED THE WORD OF GOD AND SAYS THEIR 01:21:28 BODIES LIE IN THE STREETS FOR THREE AND A HALF DAYS, DAY AND 01:21:32 IMPROVE IN A YEAR IS A AND SO THAT IS A SHORT ANSWER. 01:21:36 I COULD SAY MORE, BUT. >> WE DO HAVE A BOOK ON THAT 01:21:39 PASS A SORRY, THINK I IT IS CALLED THE TWO WITNESSES, AGAIN, 01:21:41 IT IS FREE GO TO THE AMAZING FACTS WEBSITE AND READ IT THERE, 01:21:45 JUST CLICK ON THE FREE LIBRARY. >> AND DOWNLOAD IT, YES. 01:21:47 >> ANOTHER REVELATION QUESTION, IT SAYS WHO ARE THE BEASTS OF 01:21:52 REVELATION CHAPTER 4? >> ALL RIGHT. 01:21:54 >> REFERRING TO THE FOUR LIVING CREATURES AROUND THE -- 01:21:56 >> YES, AND YOU WILL ALSO FIND THEM MENTIONED IN EZEKIEL I 01:22:00 THINK CHAPTER 1 IT TALKS ABOUT THESE CREATURES, REMEMBER I SAID 01:22:04 REVELATION YOU CAN ALSO FIND IT IS SORT OF LIKE A REFLECTION OF 01:22:08 THE OLD TEST. AND YOU HAVE GOT A LION AN 01:22:12 EAGLE, A CALF AND A MAN, I AM LOOKING AT PASTOR ROSS TO MAKE 01:22:16 SURE I GET MY BEASTS RIGHT AND THEY HAVE THESE FACES, NOW IN 01:22:21 REVELATION KEEP IN MIND THESE ARE SYMBOLS, DOESN'T MEAN GOD IN 01:22:25 HEAVEN IS STATE YOUR NAME PAID BARNYARD OF ANIMALS. 01:22:28 EACH OF THOSE ANIMALS HAVE SYMBOLISM IN THE BIBLE, EAGLES 01:22:33 FOR TEAR VISION, THEIR POWER AND FLIGHT THEY COULD GO HIGHER THAN 01:22:36 ANY CREATURE AND SEE FARTHER. THE CALF WAS A SACRIFICE, IT WAS 01:22:40 ALSO A BEAST OF STRENGTH AND SERVANT AND THE MAN-MADE IN 01:22:44 GOD'S IMAGE AND THE LIE RON WAS, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE MAJESTIC 01:22:49 BEASTS AND EVEN A TYPE OF CHRIST IN THE BIBLE YOU HAVE AN 01:22:52 INTERESTING. >> YES IF YOU LOOK AT THE ORDER 01:22:54 THAT THE BIBLE GIVES US IN REVELATION CHAPTER 4, THE 01:22:57 FOLLOWING CREATURES THE FIRST IS LIKEN TO A LION, SOME ARE SEEING 01:23:00 THAT CHRIST PRIOR TO THE INCAR FACE, SHE THE KING OF KINGS, HE 01:23:04 IS IN HEAVEN, AND THEN IT SAYS THAT THE NEXT EAGLE IS A CALF OR 01:23:08 AN OX, AND SO WHEN JESUS CAME TO THIS EARTH HE CAME TO BEAR OUR 01:23:12 SINS AND DIE A SACRIFICE FOR US, THE THIRD LIVING CREATURE HAS 01:23:16 THE FACE LIKENED TO A MAN, AND A SOME SEEING THAT CHRIST 01:23:20 RESURRECTED NOW IS A HIGH PRIEST MINISTERING FOR US IN HEMP AND 01:23:24 THE FOURTH LIVING CREATURE IS LIKE AN EAGLE, SIMILAR SYMBOLIZING JESUS 01:23:29 COMING AS KING OF KINGS TO EXECUTE THE WICKED SO HE HAS 01:23:34 SEEN THE PLAN OF REDEMPTION PLAYED OUT. 01:23:36 >> YES. >> IT IS KIND OF AN INTERESTING 01:23:38 STUDY, REVELATION IS FILLED WITH SYMBOLS. 01:23:39 >> AND LAYERS AND LAYERS TO THIS. 01:23:41 >> I HEARD ONE PERSON SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE FOUR 01:23:44 GOSPELS, FOUR GIVES YOU ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE, WE JUST MENTIONED 01:23:47 THE FOUR ANGELS, FOR DIRECTIONS REPRESENT SOMETHING THAT IS 01:23:50 UNIVERSAL, AND IT IS ALSO TELLING US ABOUT THE UNIVERSAL 01:23:53 DOMINION OF GOD IN THE FOUR GOSPELS OF MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE 01:23:56 AND JOHN, MATTHEW JESUS AS YOU SAID IS THE LION, THE KING, MARK 01:24:01 SHOWS JESUS IS THE QUICKEST GOSPEL, THE EAGLE, LUKE SHOWS 01:24:05 JESUS WHO IS THE MAN, LUKE IS THE PHYSICIANS, TALKS ABOUT 01:24:10 HUMANITY AND I DON'T KNOW SHOWS JESUS AS THE LAMB, THE SACRIFICE, 01:24:12 THE CALF OF GOD. >> SO, YEAH, YOU SEE THE WHOLE 01:24:16 GOSPEL IN THERE. >> OKAY. 01:24:18 WE HAVE ANOTHER QUESTIONS COMING, PASTOR DOUG, HOW LONG 01:24:20 WILL BE THE TRIP POPULATION, TRIBULATION PERIOD? 01:24:23 >> GOOD QUESTION, NOW ALL CHURCHES AGREE AND MOST 01:24:27 CHRISTIAN CHURCHES AGREE THERE IS GOING TO BE A GREAT 01:24:30 TRIBULATION, JESUS SAYS THIS IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 24 IN MARK 01:24:34 CHAPTER 13, AND LUKE CHAPTER 21, LUKE 17, AND IF YOU READ IN 01:24:38 DANIEL CHAPTER 12, MICHAEL STANDS UP AND A A TIME OF TROUBLE 01:24:43 AS THERE NEVER HAS BEEN THERE IS GOING TO BE A VERY SERIOUS TIME 01:24:45 OF TROUBLE IN THE FUTURE. I DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT. 01:24:48 I JUST WORRY ABOUT BEING FAITHFUL, YOU DON'T FIND A VERSE 01:24:51 ANYWHERE THAT SAID AND IT WILL BE SEVEN YEARS BUT PEOPLE TALK 01:24:54 ABOUT THE SEVEN YEARS OF TRIBULATION, IT COULD BE, WE 01:24:57 DON'T KNOW, I SERIOUSLY DOUBT GREAT TIME OF TROUBLE AND I 01:25:00 SHOULD ADD THAT TWO TIMES OF, TWO KINDS OF TROUBLE, ONE TIME 01:25:02 OF TROUBLE WHICH IS SORT OF THE PRELIMINARY WHERE GOD'S PEOPLE 01:25:06 ARE PREACHING THERE IS ARE GOING TO BE LAWS RESTRICTING WORSHIP 01:25:09 WHERE YOU CANNOT BUY OR SELL, BUT FINALLY WHEN IT GETS TO A 01:25:13 DEATH DECREE IS WHEN THE GREAT TIME OF TROUBLE COMES AND WHEN 01:25:16 THE SEVEN PLAGUES FALL, NOW, I DON'T THINK SEVEN YEARS ARE 01:25:19 GOING ON DURING THE SEVEN PLAGUES BECAUSE YOU WILL BE AT 01:25:21 THE INTENSITY -- NOTHING TO DRINK, AND THE PLAYINGS THAT 01:25:27 FELL ON THE EGYPT WHICH WERE LIKE THE SEVEN PLAGUES THEY 01:25:30 HAPPENED IN A MATTER OF MONTHS, SEVERAL WEEKS. 01:25:33 THOSE TEN PLAGUES, THESE SEVEN PLAYINGS, IT IS PROBABLY A 01:25:37 MATTER OF WEEKS, THE PLAYINGS THAT CAME TO JOB, A MATTER OF 01:25:40 WEEKS BUT TO THE SMALL-TIME OF TROUBLE, IT IS GOING TO BE MAYBE 01:25:43 A FEW YEARS AND GIVES US A CHANCE TO STILL PREACH, PEOPLE 01:25:46 WILL COME INTO THE CHURCH, SOME WILL GET DISCOURAGED AND LOSE 01:25:49 THEIR FAITH AND FALL OUT OF THE CHURCH, THAT MAY BE A PERIOD OF 01:25:52 A FEW YEARS, WE DON'T KNOW. >> REVELATION TALKS ABOUT 01:25:56 JUDGMENTS OR PLAGUES COMING UPON BABYLON, IT SAYS A PLAGUE SHALL 01:26:02 COME ONE DAY, SO THAT'S WHY SOME ARE THINKING IT IS WITHIN A 01:26:06 YEAR. >> ANOTHER QUESTION THAT IS 01:26:08 COMING DO WE KNOW HOW OR DO WE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HOW JESUS 01:26:11 LOOKED WHEN HE WAS ON THE EARTH? >> YES. 01:26:15 HE LOOKED VERY NORMAL. AND THE REASON I SAY THAT IS, 01:26:19 YOU KNOW, EVEN WHEN THEY WANTED TO ARREST HIM THEY SAID JUDAS 01:26:23 WHICH ONE IS HE? JESUS SEEMED TO MELT INTO THE 01:26:26 CROWD AND HE WENT QUIETLY TO THE FEAST, SOMETIMES THEY TOOK UP 01:26:30 STONES TO STONE JESUS AND HE WOULD JUST SORT OF METAL IN ET 01:26:32 IN THE CROWD, HE WASN'T AROUND WEARING SOME FABULOUS ROBES AS 01:26:37 HE SOMETIMES IS PORTRAYED. THE BIBLE SAYS THERE IS NO 01:26:39 OUTWARD BEAUTY THAT WE DESIRE HIM. 01:26:42 HE DID HAVE A BEARD. THE BIBLE SAYS THEY PLUCKED OUT 01:26:44 HIS BEARD, SO WE KNOW THAT DOESN'T TELL US WHAT COLOR HIS 01:26:47 HAIR WAS, HE HAD EVIDENTLY LOOKED LIKE A GALILEAN, AND SO 01:26:54 HE LOOKED LIKE THE TYPICAL YOU OF THE DAY, BECAUSE HE SEEMED TO 01:26:58 MELT IN RIGHT WITH HIS FOLLOWERS. 01:27:00 >> OKAY. NEXT PERSON, HE IS ASKING, ARE 01:27:02 WE ENTERING INTO THE TIME OF TROUBLE? 01:27:06 >> OH, I THINK WE HAVE ALL BEEN ASKING OURSELVES THAT QUESTION. 01:27:12 WELL, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT,, I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE MORE 01:27:16 SEVERE THAN THIS? BUT ARE WE ENTERING INTO IT? 01:27:17 IT SEEMS THAT WAY TO ME. I HAVE BEEN PERSONALLY A VERY 01:27:25 TROUBLED AT HOW QUICKLY WE HAVE LOST FREEDOMS, AND BUT, YOU 01:27:29 KNOW, NOBODY, NOBODY WANTS TO SAY THAT SOME OF THESE THINGS 01:27:33 AREN'T JUSTIFIABLE, NOBODY WANTS TO BE GUILTY OF EXACERBATING A 01:27:37 PANDEMIC, AND BEING A ONE-MAN PATHOGEN AND GOING AROUND AND 01:27:40 SAYING WELL I WANT MY FREEDOM SO I AM GOING TO INFECT EVERYBODY, 01:27:44 BUT WHAT WE SEE WHEN IT IS BROADCAST IN A CERTAIN WAY, 01:27:47 PEOPLE WILL SAY, I AM WILLING TO SURRENDER CERTAIN FREEDOMS, AND 01:27:50 THAT ALWAYS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN. 01:27:53 I THINK IT WAS, I DON'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS JEFFERSON OR FRANKLIN 01:27:56 THAT SAID, IF WE ARE WILLING TO SACK ICE FREEDOMS FOR A SENSE OF 01:28:00 SECURITY, WE WILL END UP WITH NEITHER FREEDOM OR SECURITY. 01:28:05 AND SO THAT IS ONE OF MY BIG CONCERNS. 01:28:09 YOU KNOW, IN SOME WAYS, THIS TIME OF TROUBLE FOR SOME PEOPLE 01:28:12 IT HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT, AND, YOU KNOW, I WAS CONCERNED WHEN 01:28:17 WHAT I SAW THAT THERE WAS A TOILET PAPER SHORTAGE IN NORTH 01:28:20 AMERICA, I WASN'T CONCERNED ABOUT THAT BUT I WAS CONCERNED, 01:28:23 WILL BE AT THE PANIC. PEOPLE STRIPPING SHELVES OF 01:28:27 SPAGHETTI, RICE AND TOILET PAPER AND I THOUGHT, AND THERE WAS NO 01:28:31 SHORTAGE. I MEAN, THEY WERE STILL MAKING 01:28:33 TOILET PAPER AND STILL FARMING RICE AND ALL OF THAT STUFF WAS 01:28:36 STILL AVAILABLE BUT PEOPLE PANICKED AND STRIPPED THE SHE 01:28:38 SHELVES AND I THOUGHT WHAT HAPPENS IF HEAVEN FORBID THERE 01:28:42 IS SOME KIND OF A FUEL SHORTAGE OR HIGHWAYS, IF TRUCKS CAN'T 01:28:47 DELIVER AND IN SOME OF THESE CITIES WE HAVE SEEN RIOTING AND 01:28:50 GREAT UNREST, AND I THOUGHT, BOY, IT SHOWS YOU HOW QUICKLY 01:28:54 THINGS CAN IMPLODE. AND SO I THINK THAT THIS IS A 01:28:59 GREAT TIME TO SAY I WANT TO GET RIGHT WITH GOD, BECAUSE YOU 01:29:02 DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME ANYBODY HAS. 01:29:04 >> OKAY. WELL AGAIN, WE WANT TO THANK 01:29:06 THOSE WHO ARE JOINING US ON THE VARIOUS OUTLETS PARTICIPATING IN 01:29:10 OUR STUDY AND I WANT TO REMIND YOU WE WILL BE BACK TOMORROW 01:29:13 EVENING AT 7:00 P.M. PACIFIC TIME FOR ANOTHER STUDY THE GOD'S 01:29:18 WORD, UNTIL THEN, GOD PRESS.
