00:31 James: Did you say Daniel 11 Part 5? 00:34 Jason: Part 5. James: Part 5... Yvonne: Oooooh! 00:37 James: See, this is... this is a long chapter... 00:40 Yvonne: It's meaty. 00:41 James: And there's a lot here, it's very meaty, 00:42 yeah, good thing we have our vegetables in Daniel 10. 00:45 Yvonne: That's right. All: Laughter. 00:47 James: So that we can get into the meat, 00:50 so, we left off in verse 40, we didn't finish verse 40 00:54 and we're going to really kind of 00:56 spend a little bit of time here, 00:58 we want to kind of nuance these verses 01:00 because these verses parallel 01:03 what's taking place in Revelation chapter 13. 01:06 There's a really good parallel between Daniel 11 verses 40 01:10 to 12:3... wanted to reemphasize that, 01:12 12:1, 2 and 3 are really part of the Daniel 11 vision. 01:16 He doesn't come out of vision, 01:18 Daniel doesn't come out of vision till verse 4 of Daniel 12 01:21 and then Revelation 13:1 all the way through 01:24 to the end of chapter verse 18, 01:25 these two sections of prophetic eschatological Scripture 01:29 parallel in so many ways, 01:31 I've got at least a dozen connections between them 01:33 and we'll look at a few of those 01:35 but first we want to start with a word of prayer, 01:37 Ivor, would you like to lead us out in prayer? 01:39 Ivor: Yeah, let's do that, "Heavenly Father, 01:41 bless us as we continue to study the book of Daniel 01:46 particularly Daniel 11 verses 40 onward, Lord, 01:50 give us wisdom, Lord, give us insight 01:52 and, Lord, help us to make this clear for our Viewers, 01:56 we pray this in Jesus' name, amen. " 01:57 All: Amen. 01:59 James: So, let's just go back to verse 40, Jason, 02:02 can we just go back to verse 40 and just read that verse 02:03 and then we'll talk about it. 02:05 Jason: Sure, "At the time of the end 02:07 the king of the South shall attack him; 02:09 and the king of the North shall come against him 02:11 like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, 02:14 and with many ships; 02:15 and he shall enter the countries, 02:18 overwhelm them, and pass through. " 02:21 James: Okay, so, we have a lot of, 02:25 you know, symbolic language here to be honest 02:29 because even the South represents Egypt or Atheism... 02:33 Marxism... Communism... 02:34 whatever we want to call it right now, Secularism... 02:37 what does the king of the North represent? 02:39 Well, we've already identified that power 02:42 in the previous verses because the same king in verse 40 02:45 that the king of the South comes against, 02:47 is the one that was identified in verse 36 02:49 and that's a key pivotal point... 02:51 the king in verse 36 is obviously the same king 02:55 in verse 40... 02:56 the question is, who is the king in verse 36... 02:58 we go to 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2:3 and 4... 03:01 we do some, you know, comparing 03:03 and we see that this is none other than the Antichrist 03:06 or this false religious system that has risen up 03:10 in the seat of pagan Rome or the Papal Roman System 03:13 and then we look at all the verses following... 03:16 we see... it meets all those characteristics 03:18 and we looked at some of that 03:19 so, what it's saying here is that in 1798... 03:22 the time of the end, 03:24 this Atheistic power would rise up in the country of France 03:27 and would wound... would inflict... would gore... 03:30 the word "push" means to gore... 03:32 war against the king of the North 03:33 but then it says there's going to be a turnaround in conflict, 03:36 that the king of the North is going to come against him 03:38 like a whirlwind with chariots and with horsemen 03:41 and with many ships and enter into the countries 03:43 and overflow and pass over 03:45 and you don't have to go very far 03:47 to see the application of this history in our world today. 03:50 I was raised in the umbrella of Communism... 03:57 I was born in '62 03:59 when the conflict between the United States and USSR 04:04 was at an intense level, Kennedy was President, you know, 04:08 in those... in those early years 04:09 and the Cuba Mission Crisis... Missile Crisis had taken place 04:13 and I remember as a teenager I was always thinking... 04:16 it could happen any time, it could happen any time... 04:18 it was just party and live for today 04:20 because we don't even know if we have tomorrow 04:22 and the idea was nuclear buildup 04:24 and I remember when I became a Seventh-day Adventist, 04:28 now, I wasn't an Adventist in... in my childhood... 04:32 I was raised Catholic... 04:33 "Roman Catholic" my Mom would say 04:35 but as a young man, I was Born Again 04:37 and I accepted Christ as my Savior... 04:39 still wasn't an Adventist... 04:41 I was going to Calvary Chapel, 04:42 I was going to a Pentecostal Church 04:44 and I was studying with the Adventists to get my sister out, 04:47 I thought it was a cult... they went to church on Saturday, 04:50 what's that all about? 04:51 And I remember going to this Prophecy Seminar 04:54 as I was studying about Adventism to get my sister out 04:57 and I remember becoming more and more convicted 05:00 through Bible Studies... through this Prophecy Seminar 05:02 and then I remember the Adventist teaching 05:04 about how the whole world... 05:05 the whole world was going to follow this Power 05:08 who was wounded and its deadly wound was healed 05:10 and they identified this Power as the Papacy, you know, 05:13 the church that I used to belong to... 05:14 and I thought that's crazy, look at the USSR... 05:18 that's an Atheistic Power... 05:19 that's... that's the Octopus of the world, 05:21 they've got control... way more submarines and missiles 05:25 and tanks and are in countries than the US, 05:27 that will... like, how could that happen? 05:29 But, I thought about Daniel 2... Daniel 7... Daniel 8... 05:34 didn't understand Daniel 11... 05:35 thought about Revelation's, you know, history 05:39 and how it had all been fulfilled 05:41 and I stepped out in 1984 by faith 05:43 and I accepted the Adventist interpretation... 05:46 even though I couldn't see it. 05:47 Yvonne: Hmmm... 05:48 James: Five years later in 1989 05:50 when Communism fell like a whirlwind... 05:53 that's how Time Magazine described it... 05:55 it was like the days of a whirlwind... 05:56 it just happened overnight, you remember that, don't you? 05:58 Yvonne: Hmmm... James: Overnight... 06:00 my faith soared... 06:02 it went out of orbit... it was in space... 06:05 I was like, "Whoa, the Adventists are... " 06:08 I mean, "We're right!" 06:10 All: Laughter. 06:11 James: "We have an understanding of prophecy that's correct... 06:12 look at this!" 06:14 And that's what we see here, 06:15 right here in this verse... 06:17 see, chariots and horsemen represent military might. 06:19 Yvonne: Hmmm... hmmm... 06:21 James: When Communism fell in 1989, 06:22 we found out ten years later... 06:25 1992 is when the article came out 06:28 but it was ten years after 1982 06:31 when in 1982, Reagan and the Pope had met together 06:36 in Alaska to conspire against the Soviet Union 06:40 and one of their aims... 06:42 one of the aims of Ronald Reagan was to build up missiles... 06:47 nuclear missiles in Western Europe 06:50 and to try to make it too costly for the Soviets 06:53 to keep up with... with America 06:54 so, he started building up all these missiles, 06:56 you remember that? 06:57 Chariots and Horsemen, you know, 06:58 and the ships represent economic pressure... 07:00 they were putting economic pressure on the Soviet Union 07:04 and we're told that when the Miners went on strike in Poland, 07:06 that's where Solidarity started, that's were the... 07:08 the fall started... 07:09 their demands were soap and toilet paper and sugar... 07:12 they just wanted the basics... 07:13 the Soviet Union had become bankrupt economically 07:16 because they've been trying to keep up 07:17 with the military might of the United States. 07:19 This is the symbolism that we're seeing here 07:22 and then when the Soviet Union fell, 07:24 Catholicism entered into the countries 07:26 because it had been banned. 07:27 It had been actually illegal in some countries 07:30 for the Catholic Church to exist even in Poland 07:33 which was mostly a Catholic Nation, 07:34 Pope John Paul the 2nd had... 07:37 because he was the Bishop there before... 07:39 he became the Pope. 07:41 He had outdoor Masses 07:43 because they couldn't build churches there 07:45 and he would just erect a cross 07:46 and the Communists would tear it down... 07:48 he would erect again and they would tear it down, 07:49 finally they gave up 07:50 and that began this whole process of Communism falling... 07:55 he stood up to Communism 07:56 and the people started standing up to Communism 08:00 and eventually, it just crumbled 08:01 but it was in harmony with what we're reading in this very verse 08:04 the same thing... Revelation 13:3... one verse, 08:07 he gets the deadly wound and the wound is healed 08:09 and then he enters into the countries. 08:12 So, we're seeing this prophecy now... from the time of the end, 08:15 1798 onward... we're seeing this prophecy... 08:18 see, when... when Atheism rose in France, 08:21 that wasn't the end of it, 08:22 that was just the beginning of it... 08:24 that principle spread throughout Europe 08:26 to all these different nations 08:27 and, of course, it's still in the world today 08:28 and we're going to see that in a verse further down 08:31 because even though we saw Atheism fall... 08:34 Communism fall in the USSR, in verse, I think it's verse... 08:38 yeah, it's verse 42, 08:42 it talks about this king stretching forth his hand 08:46 also upon the countries: 08:47 and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 08:49 Well, we also already identified Egypt as Atheism 08:53 so, we would have to then say, 08:55 "Well, if this prophecy is talking about our time, 08:57 and USSR already fell in verse 40, 09:00 is there another Communist Power in the world today 09:03 other than the USSR 09:05 and we'd have to say... well yeah, there is... China 09:08 yeah, and some other satellite nations like North Korea, etc., 09:13 so, God's Word is right on track... right on track. 09:16 Yvonne: Hmmm... 09:17 Ivor: Yeah, I want to add some things in here 09:20 because what we see in these events, I think, 09:24 are like markers, right, 09:26 because what's happening in Daniel 11: 40 09:28 is an ongoing battle 09:30 right, and we can see that battle 09:33 even unfolding just in America today. 09:35 James: Yes. 09:37 Ivor: Right, because we have the philosophies of Secularism 09:39 and Atheism in America today. James: Marxism. 09:42 Ivor: Marxism. James: Yeah. 09:44 Ivor: You see all these things at war 09:46 and then you have this king of the North Power. 09:49 James: Hmmm... hmmm... 09:50 Ivor: And it's very interesting because if you... 09:53 I'm going to ask someone to turn to Ezekiel 26 verse 7... 09:57 Ezekiel 26 verse 7 and you could read that text 10:01 and I'm going to comment on it and then show some things here 10:05 so, Ezekiel 26 verse 7. 10:07 Yvonne: "For thus says the Lord God: 10:09 'Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north 10:12 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, 10:15 with horses, with chariots, and with horsemen, 10:18 and an army with many people. '" 10:20 Ivor: All right now, I need... 10:21 I need us to read that in the KJV 10:23 because something very important is missing there. 10:25 Yvonne: Okay. 10:26 James: "For thus saith the Lord God; 10:28 'Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus 10:30 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, 10:32 a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, 10:36 and with horsemen, and companies, 10:38 and much people. '" 10:40 Ivor: All right, so notice how Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, 10:43 is called: the king from the North. 10:46 Yvonne: Hmmm... James: Yes. 10:48 Ivor: Right, what's happening in 11 verse 40 10:51 is a parallel to the identity of literal Babylon. 10:58 James: Hmmm... hmmm... 11:00 Ivor: We know in Revelation chapter 18 that... 11:02 that... and Revelation 18 and Revelation 14 11:04 that Babylon is a symbolic power. 11:07 James: Hmmm... hmmm... 11:08 Ivor: Right, and this symbolic power... 11:10 Babylon represents specifically a religious power. 11:14 James: Hmmm... hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm... hmmm... 11:18 Ivor: So, what you have is, you know, 11:20 this counterfeit Christianity 11:23 versus Atheism, Secularism, etc. 11:25 James: Okay. 11:26 Ivor: Even though we have the... 11:30 the... the... the events of the USSR falling in 1989, 11:35 and even the Papacy being reestablished 11:39 as a Church/State Entity in 1929, 11:42 just historical markers... 11:44 James: Hmmm... hmmm... 11:46 Ivor: Ultimately, this battle is still going on 11:49 and in Daniel 11 verse 40, the king... 11:54 the ultimate king of the North... anyone remember 11:59 what Isaiah chapter 14 verses 12 through 14 say? 12:03 James: Hmmm... hmmm... 12:05 Ivor: Isaiah 14:12 through 14... 12:07 it... let's... let's just read that. 12:08 James: Hmmm... hmmm... 12:10 Ivor: Isaiah 14:12 through 14, 12:11 this is speaking about Lucifer himself and watch what it says. 12:13 Jason: "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, 12:17 son of the morning! 12:18 How you are cut down to the ground, 12:20 you who weakened the nations! 12:22 For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, 12:25 I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; 12:28 I will also sit on the mount of the congregation 12:30 on the farthest sides of the north; 12:32 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, 12:35 I will be like the Most High. '" 12:37 He's lost his mind. 12:39 James: Hmmm... Yvonne: Laughter. 12:41 Ivor: Listen. James: Yes. 12:42 Ivor: Check this out guys, in... you know... 12:45 this war between Christian religion... 12:48 counterfeit-religion Babylon and Atheism... 12:51 it's been going back and forth and even in America today, 12:56 you see the conflict, right? 12:58 James: Hmmm... hmmm... 12:59 Ivor: It's not going to stop... 13:01 it's not going to stop... 13:04 it is going to stop 13:06 but it's not going to stop by human power. 13:08 James: Hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm... 13:10 Ivor: Right, the only way this battle ends... 13:13 the only way the king of the North 13:15 ultimately defeats and wipes out Atheism worldwide 13:21 is when Satan himself 13:24 as the ultimate "king of the North" 13:28 comes like Jesus. 13:30 James: Hmmm... 13:33 Ivor: So, let me show you that. 13:34 I want you to go to Isaiah... Isaiah 66 verse 15. 13:39 James: Okay. 13:41 Jason: All right, "For behold, the Lord will come with fire 13:45 and with His chariots, like a whirlwind, 13:48 to render His anger with fury, 13:50 and His rebuke with flames of fire. " 13:53 Ivor: This verse is describing the second coming of Jesus. 13:59 James: Okay. 14:00 Ivor: And so, what we have happening 14:02 in Daniel 11:40 is a counterfeit... 14:05 an imitation of what's happening in Isaiah 66 verse 15, right, 14:13 Satan will come and appear as an angel of light... 14:18 he is going to come and try to be like the Most High. 14:22 He is going to... and by the way, 14:25 this is what wipes out the king of the South. 14:28 James: Hmmm... Ivor: Right... Yvonne: Hmmm... 14:32 Ivor: For an Atheist, seeing is believing... 14:34 for those people who are like, "Oh, we're Secular... 14:36 oh we're Atheist... we don't believe in God... " 14:38 when this happens, they have no... 14:42 there's nothing that they can argue, right, 14:45 they are seeing this counterfeit 14:47 and this is why it's interesting because this Power... 14:51 when this event happens, 14:53 the Bible says that he comes like whirlwind... 14:55 with chariots... with horsemen 14:57 and with many ships. 14:58 I want you to notice this, 14:59 the whirlwind represents air power... 15:03 chariots and horsemen represent land power... 15:08 ships represent sea power. 15:12 We know that in Revelation chapter 13 15:15 and Revelation chapter... yeah, Revelation chapter 13... 15:18 Revelation chapter 12... 15:19 we have the dragon who's a prince of the air... 15:21 we have the beast from the sea... 15:24 we have the beast from the earth 15:28 and so, in other words, 15:30 this Satanic combination of dragon, beast, false prophet 15:38 are ultimately going to surround the people of God. 15:43 Yvonne: Hmmm... James: Hmmm... 15:44 Ivor: That's what we're going find happen... 15:46 they're going to surround the people of God 15:47 which is very interesting 15:49 because in Daniel 11 verse 41 the very next verse... 15:52 "He shall enter also into the glorious land, 15:55 reminds us of when Jesus says, 15:58 "When you see the abomination of desolation, 16:00 standing in the holy place... " 16:02 James: Hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm... 16:04 Ivor: Then let them which be in Judaea... etc... flee... 16:08 in other words, he's giving this as the sign... 16:10 the symbol... 16:11 when this happens, know that... what? 16:14 Michael is about to stand up. 16:18 James: Hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm... hmmm... 16:19 Ivor: Right, so, what we're seeing unfold before us 16:24 right now... this... 16:25 this play and counter-play between Secularism and Communism 16:29 and even China was mentioned... 16:31 look, the only way China is going to stop being China... 16:34 that will take a miracle. 16:36 James: Hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm... hmmm... 16:38 Ivor: And the miracle is exactly what Revelation chapter 13... 16:43 Revelation chapter 13 verse 13, "He doeth great wonders, 16:48 so that he make fire come down on earth in the sight of men" 16:50 this is Satan himself appearing as the ultimate counterfeit 16:57 of Jesus Christ. 16:59 This is what causes all the nations... 17:03 when we talk about, you know, the One World Order 17:05 and everyone is going to follow this king of the North... 17:08 this is how that happens 17:11 because I want you to think about this right now, 17:14 like, you know, just think of the Papacy... 17:16 the head of the Papacy which is... you know... 17:17 which is the Pope... 17:19 there are people who are like, "The Pope... whatever... 17:21 the Papacy... whatever... " 17:22 like, "Nothing you do or say 17:24 is going to make me ever, ever... 17:26 what? like, observe a holy day, are you crazy, I'm Atheist... 17:31 you... you could kill me. " 17:33 When Satan himself appears... all doubt... 17:38 all antagonism is done away with. 17:42 James: Hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm... 17:44 Ivor: Because the Bible says, 17:47 "The whole world is going to wonder after the beast... 17:51 except those who know their God. " 17:56 James: Hmmm... hmmm... 17:57 Ivor: Right, except those who have a relationship with God... 17:59 except those who keep the commandments of God 18:03 and have the testimony of Jesus. 18:05 So, what you see happening in verse 40 onward 18:09 is... it's a buildup, right, 18:11 all the events we've mentioned before... 18:13 but it culminates with Satan appearing 18:17 as the king of the North himself 18:19 and remember what we said, 18:21 "When you see Michael in the Scriptures, 18:24 it is because he is about to have face-to-face conflict 18:28 with Satan himself. 18:30 James: Hmmm... Jason: Hmmm... 18:31 Yvonne: Hmmm... 18:33 James: And that's what we see in... in Daniel chapter 12 18:35 and verse 1 when Michael stands up, 18:37 so, yeah, going back to verse 41 then... 18:40 so, he enters into the glorious land, 18:42 and many countries... King James... 18:44 many shall be overthrown: 18:47 but these shall escape out of his hand, 18:50 even Edom, and Moab, 18:51 and the chief of the children of Ammon. 18:54 I want us to look at a couple of verses 18:56 that really bring this out. 18:58 The word "escape" by the way 19:00 is the same word that's used in Daniel 12 verse 1 where is says, 19:04 "At that time shall Michael stand up, that great Prince 19:06 which stands for the children of thy people: 19:08 and there shall be a time of trouble, 19:09 such as never was since there was a nation 19:11 even to that same time: 19:13 and thy people shall be delivered, 19:14 every one that's found written in the book. " 19:17 That word "delivered" in the Hebrews 19:18 is the same word "escape. " 19:19 Yvonne: Hmmm... Jason: Hmmm... 19:21 James: So, the people that are symbolized by Edom, Moab, 19:24 and Ammon, are God's people 19:27 because they are delivered just like God's people are delivered 19:30 but I want us to go back now to Isaiah chapter 11. 19:33 Isaiah chapter 11 is a powerful chapter 19:36 that describes the first coming of Jesus 19:39 and also talks about the last day events 19:44 and it really... the way you connect these two 19:46 is with these three tribes. 19:48 If you look up these three tribes, 19:49 you're not going to find them anywhere in the Bible 19:50 except... mentioned together... except right here 19:52 in Isaiah chapter 11, 19:54 as far as eschatological prophecy goes. 19:56 Yvonne: Hmmm... 19:58 James: Now, just... let's just read these verses, 19:59 Yvonne, could you start in verse 11 20:02 and let's just read through the whole chapter 20:04 the whole rest of the chapter. 20:06 Yvonne: Sure, "It shall come to pass in that day 20:08 that the Lord shall set His hand again the second time 20:12 to recover the remnant of His people who are left, 20:15 from Assyria and Egypt, from Pathros and Cush, 20:18 from Elam and Shinar, 20:20 from Hamath and the islands of the sea. 20:22 He will set up a banner for the nations, 20:24 and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, 20:27 and gather together the dispersed of Judah 20:30 from the four corners of the earth. 20:33 Also the envy of Ephraim shall depart, 20:35 and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off; 20:38 Ephraim shall not envy Judah, 20:41 and Judah shall not harass Ephraim. 20:43 But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines 20:46 toward the west; 20:48 together they shall plunder the people of the East; 20:51 they shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab; 20:54 and the people of Amon shall obey them. 20:57 The Lord will utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt; 21:01 with His mighty wind He will shake His fist over the River, 21:04 and strike it in the seven streams, 21:07 and make men cross over dry-shod. 21:09 There will be a highway for the remnant of His people 21:12 who will be left from Assyria, 21:14 as it was for Israel 21:16 in the day that he came up from the land of Egypt. " 21:20 James: Now, if you just think about this in end-time events, 21:24 you're talking about the Loud Cry... 21:26 you're talking about an ensign to the nations... 21:28 you're talking about God recovering His people 21:30 from all over the world even from the islands of the sea 21:34 and the outcasts of Israel... and the dispersed of Judah 21:38 being brought back... 21:39 we're talking about backslidden Adventists... 21:41 we're talking about our children... 21:42 we're talking about God gathering people 21:46 and the envy and the jealousy between God's people 21:51 coming to an end. 21:52 They're presenting to the world the united front 21:54 under persecution... 21:56 they're going forth together 21:58 and they're laying their hand upon Edom, Moab, 22:01 and the chief of the children of Ammon. 22:03 Same three tribes that escaped out of the hand of this Power 22:05 when it begins to... to take the whole world captive 22:09 with this miracles and deception, 22:11 people are going to be delivered 22:13 and the people are these specific tribes 22:15 which are connected to God's people 22:18 but in the Bible were enemies to God's people. 22:19 Yvonne: Hmmm... 22:21 James: That they're connected to Edom... 22:22 they are connected to Lot 22:23 so, there are a lot of people 22:25 that are connected to God's people 22:27 but that they're enemies of God's people... 22:29 what I might want to say is, 22:30 the majority of God's people 22:31 are in all these different denominations and churches 22:34 in all walks of life 22:36 and the Bible is indicating here in Isaiah 11 22:38 that they are going to come in when this... this... 22:42 this effort goes forth from God to collect them 22:47 in the end of time 22:48 that when this message goes to all these different countries 22:51 Ivor... what? 22:52 Ivor: And remember, James, that in Isaiah 11, 22:56 Isaiah is talking about the children of Israel 22:59 coming back from Babylon. 23:00 James: Yes. 23:01 Ivor: Because he's prophesying that they're going into Babylon 23:04 but he's saying, "Listen, there is going to be a re-gathering, 23:07 you've going to come back into your own land... " 23:09 and so, this is what we see here, 23:11 God has people, as you were just pointing out, 23:14 in Babylon. 23:16 James: Hmmm... hmmm... four corners of the earth. 23:18 Ivor: That's Revelation 14... Revelation 18... 23:20 "Come out of her my people... " 23:22 so, they're coming out of Babylon 23:24 which is not a literal land but a spiritual entity, 23:30 then they're coming into God's place... 23:34 into Jerusalem, if you will, 23:36 or spiritual Israel... 23:37 out of Babylon... into spiritual Israel 23:41 just as they literally came out of Babylon 23:44 to go back into literal Israel. 23:45 James: There is so much here... 23:47 talks about the Egyptian sea the tongue... 23:49 the speaking... the communication of Atheism, 23:51 Marxism... Communism... 23:53 God's going to do away with that... 23:54 it's not going to have its effect... 23:56 it's not going to have its impact on these people. 23:57 Yvonne: Hmmm... 23:58 James: There are going to be people out there 24:00 that are not going to buy into all of this stuff... 24:01 there's a lot of symbolism here 24:02 but this is end-time prophetic truth 24:06 and... and then it's followed by chapter 12 24:09 which basically is like a victory song. 24:12 Isaiah Chapter 12, "In that day, I will praise Thee O Lord... " 24:16 you know, "cry out and shout for the inhabitants of Zion: 24:18 for great is the Lord, the Holy One, 24:20 in the midst of thee. " 24:22 This is a parallel, if you will, 24:23 to Revelation 14 and Revelation 15. 24:26 Revelation 14... the loud cry goes to all the world... 24:29 the gospel goes to every nation... 24:30 brings in all these peoples, multitudes and tongues 24:33 and Revelation 15... they sing the song of Moses and the Lamb. 24:35 So, we have a mini repeat right there. 24:38 The way this connects with Daniel 11 24:40 is through those three tribes. 24:42 God is interested in rescuing His people 24:45 who are out there in the world. 24:47 Isaiah 11 is making that very clear. 24:50 God is interested in rescuing the outcasts of Israel 24:55 and the dispersed of Judah. 24:57 Yvonne: Hmmm... 24:58 James: There are a lot of people who have been 25:00 cast out of the church 25:01 because they simply weren't able to live up to the light 25:06 that we gave them 25:07 because we didn't emphasize relationship with Jesus Christ. 25:10 There's a lot of people that have been dispersed of Judah 25:13 simply because they have certain standards or beliefs or truths 25:17 that they're holding to... 25:19 a lot of people are like, "Man, that's legalism, 25:20 that's too much... you shouldn't be doing that... " 25:22 or whatever... 25:23 there's a lot of division taking place 25:24 among God's people right now, 25:26 it's going to come to an end when we get into the Loud Cry. 25:29 When we get into a time where persecution comes upon us, 25:32 we're going to lay aside these minor differences 25:34 and we're going to present to the world a united front. 25:37 So, while we see in Daniel 11, we see this power coming in 25:41 and taking control of, you know, Egypt and the Libyans 25:46 and the Ethiopians follow in his step, verse 43, 25:48 having control of the treasures of gold and silver and... 25:52 and the precious things... verse 43... 25:54 we also see God's people escaping... 25:57 we also see people in the world escaping... 25:59 we also see God's people being delivered 26:01 and then we see something really significant. 26:05 In... in... in Daniel chapter 11 and verse 44, 26:08 we see tidings out of the east and out of the north 26:13 that trouble him. 26:14 Yvonne: Hmmm... Hmmm... 26:16 James: Tidings out of the east and out of the north 26:17 that are troubling him. 26:18 What could be troubling this Power 26:20 in a time when it's controlling the world economically? 26:22 In a time when it's entering into all the countries... 26:25 in a time when it's causing miracles to deceive multitudes, 26:28 what could trouble this Power? Tidings... 26:32 Tidings is a word that we connect with 26:34 Revelation chapter 14 and verse 6? 26:37 The everlasting gospel... 26:38 "I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, 26:39 having the everlasting gospel... " 26:41 the tidings... the good news... the everlasting gospel 26:44 out of the east... what does that mean? 26:46 Well, in Revelation 7, 26:49 the Sealing Angel has the Seal of God... 26:51 the Sabbath Seal comes out of the East. 26:53 "I saw another angel ascending from the east... " 26:55 So, there's tidings that are being proclaimed to the world 26:58 in this time of miracle-working time of deception, 27:01 these tidings that are proclaimed to the world 27:03 about the Sabbath 27:06 and in the North... 27:08 Jesus is the true King of the North, 27:10 He's the true king that's going to deliver us, 27:13 so, the Advent of Christ... the Sabbath and the Advent... 27:16 hmmm... 27:18 I wonder if these people might be called: 27:20 Seventh-day Adventists... 27:23 see, this is where our name comes from, 27:25 it comes from Daniel 11 verse 44. 27:26 Yvonne: Hmmm... 27:28 James: We are the people that... that herald tidings... 27:30 the gospel out of the East... Seventh-day Sabbath message 27:32 Seventh-day message and the North... 27:34 the second coming of the true King of the North... 27:35 Jesus Christ. 27:36 Our name is etched right here in symbolic language 27:39 and we need to really open this up... 27:41 we've jumped ahead a little bit because I got excited about, 27:44 you know, what God is doing in this time when Satan is working, 27:47 we'll come back and we'll... 27:48 we'll open this up just a little bit more 27:50 and define some of these terms and some of this symbolism 27:54 in our next... in our next episode. |
