1
00:00:00,070 --> 00:00:01,650
What I'm going to do though, I don't

2
00:00:01,650 --> 00:00:03,570
know how many of you listened to part

3
00:00:03,570 --> 00:00:05,090
one, it's good that you listened to part

4
00:00:05,090 --> 00:00:07,910
one as well, and this will be kind

5
00:00:07,910 --> 00:00:08,990
of the twin to that.

6
00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:10,350
But let me just tell you up front,

7
00:00:10,430 --> 00:00:12,590
in case you didn't hear that, I'm going

8
00:00:12,590 --> 00:00:16,270
to let Scripture speak for itself, because great

9
00:00:16,270 --> 00:00:21,330
men of God, far smarter than me, theologians,

10
00:00:21,330 --> 00:00:23,470
doctorate degrees, they are divided.

11
00:00:23,570 --> 00:00:25,590
They are divided on the millennial reign, they

12
00:00:25,590 --> 00:00:27,890
are divided on the rapture, even though we

13
00:00:27,890 --> 00:00:29,990
know it's going to happen, they are divided

14
00:00:29,990 --> 00:00:31,610
on all these different things.

15
00:00:31,810 --> 00:00:32,090
Why?

16
00:00:32,590 --> 00:00:36,670
Because the Bible is not crystal clear on

17
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:42,230
how, what, when, why, where in many areas.

18
00:00:42,310 --> 00:00:43,650
So we kind of have to fill in

19
00:00:43,650 --> 00:00:44,270
the blanks.

20
00:00:44,350 --> 00:00:47,610
So if you gravitate towards Calvary Chapel style,

21
00:00:47,790 --> 00:00:49,710
you'll embrace that view.

22
00:00:49,870 --> 00:00:52,890
If you graduated from or listened to pastors

23
00:00:52,890 --> 00:00:56,910
from Dallas Theological Seminary, you will gravitate towards

24
00:00:56,910 --> 00:00:57,470
that view.

25
00:00:57,470 --> 00:01:00,310
If you are more of the Reformed faith,

26
00:01:00,710 --> 00:01:03,989
you're going to gravitate towards that view.

27
00:01:04,770 --> 00:01:06,570
So some people believe we are living in

28
00:01:06,570 --> 00:01:09,090
the millennial reign now because of some of

29
00:01:09,090 --> 00:01:12,890
the allegories in Revelation, and I'm not against

30
00:01:12,890 --> 00:01:16,770
allegory or metaphors or similes, those types of

31
00:01:16,770 --> 00:01:17,050
things.

32
00:01:17,310 --> 00:01:20,190
For example, sometimes we say, boy, those people

33
00:01:20,190 --> 00:01:22,510
are really locking horns on this issue.

34
00:01:23,430 --> 00:01:25,130
Well, are they really locking horns?

35
00:01:26,790 --> 00:01:28,010
No, of course not.

36
00:01:28,150 --> 00:01:31,090
They are arguing, debating.

37
00:01:31,250 --> 00:01:34,310
So we have things that we talk about.

38
00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:36,470
The Bible has things that it talks about

39
00:01:36,470 --> 00:01:39,890
that aren't really what the thing is, but

40
00:01:39,890 --> 00:01:42,630
it's using this thing to convey a message.

41
00:01:42,770 --> 00:01:44,430
When Jesus said, I am the bread of

42
00:01:44,430 --> 00:01:46,410
life, He's not bread.

43
00:01:46,810 --> 00:01:48,330
I am living water.

44
00:01:48,490 --> 00:01:51,790
Well, He's not water like in the baptismal

45
00:01:51,790 --> 00:01:52,010
here.

46
00:01:52,310 --> 00:01:54,210
So the Bible does use imagery.

47
00:01:54,210 --> 00:01:57,050
It does use analogies and different things.

48
00:01:57,170 --> 00:01:59,770
So that's a whole different topic on itself.

49
00:01:59,910 --> 00:02:02,030
You'd have to look at Old Testament imagery.

50
00:02:02,390 --> 00:02:05,030
If you listen to Idleman Unplugged, I would

51
00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:07,110
encourage you to scroll down in the Facebook

52
00:02:07,110 --> 00:02:10,490
feed or YouTube, and myself and Luke talked

53
00:02:10,490 --> 00:02:16,730
about different ways to interpret Scripture on looking

54
00:02:16,730 --> 00:02:19,290
at the law of first mention, how was

55
00:02:19,290 --> 00:02:21,470
the word used in the Bible when it

56
00:02:21,470 --> 00:02:23,870
was first mentioned, and that will give you

57
00:02:23,870 --> 00:02:26,590
some type of consistency throughout the Bible to

58
00:02:26,590 --> 00:02:28,210
see how that word is used in the

59
00:02:28,210 --> 00:02:32,830
context, historically, grammar, and according to grammar rules

60
00:02:32,830 --> 00:02:33,790
and all these different things.

61
00:02:33,930 --> 00:02:36,110
So what I'm going to do, though, is

62
00:02:36,110 --> 00:02:38,570
I'm just going to read Scripture.

63
00:02:38,730 --> 00:02:40,890
I'm going to let Scripture speak for itself

64
00:02:40,890 --> 00:02:43,970
because there are two groups listening, no doubt.

65
00:02:44,310 --> 00:02:46,350
One group has already made up their mind.

66
00:02:46,470 --> 00:02:49,270
They've got their eschatology down, their end times

67
00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:50,250
theology down.

68
00:02:50,570 --> 00:02:52,050
Here's what they believe, and they just want

69
00:02:52,050 --> 00:02:53,930
to see if I line up with what

70
00:02:53,930 --> 00:02:54,610
they believe.

71
00:02:55,250 --> 00:02:57,410
And then the other group that I would

72
00:02:57,410 --> 00:02:59,610
say the majority of people are in, they

73
00:02:59,610 --> 00:03:00,370
are confused.

74
00:03:01,270 --> 00:03:02,670
They don't know what to believe.

75
00:03:02,870 --> 00:03:04,130
They've heard the mark of the beast.

76
00:03:04,650 --> 00:03:06,090
They've heard one world government.

77
00:03:06,330 --> 00:03:07,630
They've heard antichrist.

78
00:03:07,810 --> 00:03:10,070
They've heard the tribulation.

79
00:03:10,330 --> 00:03:12,270
They've heard the millennial reign of Christ and

80
00:03:12,270 --> 00:03:15,030
pre-trib and post-trib and all these

81
00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:15,610
different things.

82
00:03:15,890 --> 00:03:19,010
So I'm just going to allow Scripture to

83
00:03:19,010 --> 00:03:21,350
speak for itself because, again, I can't say

84
00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:24,450
this is exactly what's going to happen.

85
00:03:24,870 --> 00:03:26,910
I don't want to tell people, hey, before

86
00:03:26,910 --> 00:03:28,590
it gets really difficult, you're going to be

87
00:03:28,590 --> 00:03:30,490
raptured out of here, so don't worry about

88
00:03:30,490 --> 00:03:30,630
it.

89
00:03:30,670 --> 00:03:33,710
To me, you could be really hurting people

90
00:03:33,710 --> 00:03:34,850
later on down the line.

91
00:03:34,990 --> 00:03:36,590
But we do know when God, I believe

92
00:03:36,590 --> 00:03:39,570
God pours out His wrath, His judgment, that

93
00:03:39,570 --> 00:03:41,210
believers are spared.

94
00:03:41,370 --> 00:03:44,150
We are not to experience the wrath of

95
00:03:44,150 --> 00:03:44,450
God.

96
00:03:44,750 --> 00:03:47,350
But we will experience the wrath of evil

97
00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:49,930
rulers here on the planet earth.

98
00:03:49,930 --> 00:03:52,570
So that's where it's hard to find that

99
00:03:52,570 --> 00:03:55,110
line of demarcation.

100
00:03:55,230 --> 00:03:58,170
Where is that line from God's judgment and

101
00:03:58,170 --> 00:03:59,890
tribulation and different things?

102
00:04:00,050 --> 00:04:02,190
But I do know this, we will know

103
00:04:02,190 --> 00:04:04,910
at some point how it all pans out.

104
00:04:05,690 --> 00:04:08,510
And during that season of waiting, it can

105
00:04:08,510 --> 00:04:09,590
become a little difficult.

106
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:10,650
It can be confusing.

107
00:04:11,230 --> 00:04:13,630
So I just like to read what the

108
00:04:13,630 --> 00:04:14,330
Scriptures say.

109
00:04:14,430 --> 00:04:16,390
So let's look first at the rapture.

110
00:04:17,070 --> 00:04:20,649
1 Thessalonians 4 Beginning in verse 13.

111
00:04:21,170 --> 00:04:23,910
I'm going to actually read from the NIV

112
00:04:23,910 --> 00:04:25,950
version of the Bible.

113
00:04:27,390 --> 00:04:29,710
Paul is talking to the church and he's

114
00:04:29,710 --> 00:04:30,290
comforting them.

115
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:32,770
He says, Brothers and sisters, we do not

116
00:04:32,770 --> 00:04:35,930
want you to be uninformed about those who

117
00:04:35,930 --> 00:04:38,790
sleep in death so that you do not

118
00:04:38,790 --> 00:04:41,210
grieve like the rest of mankind who have

119
00:04:41,210 --> 00:04:42,310
no hope.

120
00:04:42,470 --> 00:04:45,770
So, these people are grieving, I believe number

121
00:04:45,770 --> 00:04:49,570
one, because people have died and they don't

122
00:04:49,570 --> 00:04:51,650
know, did Jesus already return?

123
00:04:51,910 --> 00:04:53,310
Are we left here?

124
00:04:53,630 --> 00:04:54,430
What's going on?

125
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:57,130
So there was a lot of uncertainty about

126
00:04:57,130 --> 00:04:57,990
what was happening.

127
00:04:58,090 --> 00:05:00,310
So Paul said, Listen, you have hope.

128
00:05:00,510 --> 00:05:03,710
You have hope in Jesus Christ for eternity.

129
00:05:04,130 --> 00:05:06,350
These people have no hope that don't know

130
00:05:06,350 --> 00:05:06,750
Christ.

131
00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:10,830
So, when a person dies, do not grieve

132
00:05:10,830 --> 00:05:12,510
because you will see them again.

133
00:05:13,450 --> 00:05:16,210
For we believe that Jesus died and rose

134
00:05:16,210 --> 00:05:19,650
again, and so we believe that God will

135
00:05:19,650 --> 00:05:24,110
bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep

136
00:05:24,110 --> 00:05:24,630
in Him.

137
00:05:24,770 --> 00:05:26,630
Now, this is not soul sleep.

138
00:05:27,030 --> 00:05:29,390
Some denominations, I wouldn't say denominations, I would

139
00:05:29,390 --> 00:05:32,590
say some cults, teach soul sleep.

140
00:05:32,690 --> 00:05:35,890
In other words, when you die, you're just

141
00:05:35,890 --> 00:05:36,370
asleep.

142
00:05:37,010 --> 00:05:39,150
And we know from Scripture that to be

143
00:05:39,150 --> 00:05:41,270
absent in this body is to be present

144
00:05:41,270 --> 00:05:41,850
with Christ.

145
00:05:41,990 --> 00:05:44,850
And we do know that unbelievers go somewhere

146
00:05:44,850 --> 00:05:46,150
awaiting their judgment.

147
00:05:46,350 --> 00:05:47,670
So there is no sleeping.

148
00:05:48,130 --> 00:05:52,150
The soul cannot sleep because the soul of

149
00:05:52,150 --> 00:05:53,350
man is eternal.

150
00:05:53,830 --> 00:05:55,870
That being the spirit of man, however you

151
00:05:55,870 --> 00:05:56,790
want to define that.

152
00:05:57,490 --> 00:05:59,550
So according to the Lord's Word, we tell

153
00:05:59,550 --> 00:06:02,110
you that those who are still alive, so

154
00:06:02,110 --> 00:06:04,490
that would be talking to us now, those

155
00:06:04,490 --> 00:06:07,510
who are still alive who are left until

156
00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:09,870
the coming of the Lord, so let's highlight

157
00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:12,330
that, the Lord is coming again.

158
00:06:13,370 --> 00:06:17,170
They will certainly not precede those who have

159
00:06:17,170 --> 00:06:17,930
fallen asleep.

160
00:06:18,030 --> 00:06:18,730
Those who are dead.

161
00:06:19,130 --> 00:06:21,210
So those of us who live now will

162
00:06:21,210 --> 00:06:24,230
not proceed, which is go first to be

163
00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:27,590
with Jesus or Jesus coming down to take

164
00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:28,110
us up.

165
00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:30,070
We will not precede those.

166
00:06:30,210 --> 00:06:31,470
We will not go before those.

167
00:06:31,730 --> 00:06:34,330
The picture is all people.

168
00:06:35,570 --> 00:06:37,330
Revelation, I think I can read this later,

169
00:06:37,470 --> 00:06:39,650
where the sea gave up its dead and

170
00:06:39,650 --> 00:06:41,730
the land gave up its dead, and we

171
00:06:41,730 --> 00:06:44,690
see that those who have died and those

172
00:06:44,690 --> 00:06:46,790
who are still alive when the Lord comes

173
00:06:46,790 --> 00:06:48,510
will be caught up together.

174
00:06:48,650 --> 00:06:50,490
That's where the word rapture comes from.

175
00:06:50,610 --> 00:06:51,890
There's a catching up.

176
00:06:52,170 --> 00:06:54,310
There's a departing from the earth.

177
00:06:54,810 --> 00:06:56,770
For the Lord Himself will come down from

178
00:06:56,770 --> 00:06:57,190
Heaven.

179
00:06:58,230 --> 00:07:00,870
So the Lord Himself will come down from

180
00:07:00,870 --> 00:07:01,270
Heaven.

181
00:07:01,490 --> 00:07:03,570
He is coming down to Heaven.

182
00:07:04,210 --> 00:07:06,950
I'm sorry, from Heaven with a loud command

183
00:07:07,370 --> 00:07:09,630
with the voice of the archangel and with

184
00:07:09,630 --> 00:07:12,130
the trumpet call of God.

185
00:07:12,410 --> 00:07:14,450
That's why some people when they read Revelation,

186
00:07:14,670 --> 00:07:17,170
they think that that trumpet, the call of

187
00:07:17,170 --> 00:07:19,790
God, in some of those cases is Jesus

188
00:07:19,790 --> 00:07:22,090
coming for His church.

189
00:07:22,930 --> 00:07:25,250
And the dead in Christ will rise first.

190
00:07:25,930 --> 00:07:28,470
After that, we are still alive and who

191
00:07:28,470 --> 00:07:31,350
are left will be caught up together with

192
00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:33,310
them in the clouds to meet the Lord

193
00:07:33,310 --> 00:07:33,950
in the air.

194
00:07:34,330 --> 00:07:36,270
And so, we will be with the Lord

195
00:07:36,270 --> 00:07:36,690
forever.

196
00:07:36,690 --> 00:07:39,410
So we see this in Scripture here.

197
00:07:39,750 --> 00:07:43,270
The Lord Himself coming down from Heaven and

198
00:07:43,270 --> 00:07:46,030
then others here and those who have died

199
00:07:46,030 --> 00:07:48,630
coming up and there's a catching up.

200
00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:50,550
There's a being caught up with Jesus Christ.

201
00:07:50,670 --> 00:07:51,870
That's what is clearly taught.

202
00:07:52,450 --> 00:07:54,850
Now here's where it gets interesting because when

203
00:07:54,850 --> 00:07:57,470
the Bible says the Lord will come back,

204
00:07:57,790 --> 00:08:00,870
many people say that that is His second

205
00:08:00,870 --> 00:08:01,370
coming.

206
00:08:01,930 --> 00:08:04,990
They don't see that Jesus comes back for

207
00:08:04,990 --> 00:08:07,450
the rapture of the church and then later,

208
00:08:07,850 --> 00:08:08,830
He comes again.

209
00:08:09,250 --> 00:08:10,870
They are synonymous.

210
00:08:11,190 --> 00:08:12,650
They are together.

211
00:08:12,870 --> 00:08:14,330
Many great teachers teach this.

212
00:08:14,390 --> 00:08:16,930
Good teachers, I should say, teach that the

213
00:08:16,930 --> 00:08:19,110
rapture here we're reading and His second coming

214
00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:20,990
are all one event.

215
00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:24,170
However, most of us, including myself, who have

216
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:27,450
been taught over the years that there is

217
00:08:27,450 --> 00:08:32,929
a rapture of the church and then, after

218
00:08:32,929 --> 00:08:36,490
the tribulation, after the millennial reign, then Jesus

219
00:08:36,490 --> 00:08:39,130
comes back at His second coming.

220
00:08:39,970 --> 00:08:41,730
But what I want to do then is

221
00:08:41,730 --> 00:08:43,130
read Scripture in context.

222
00:08:43,930 --> 00:08:47,270
I just read 1 Thessalonians 4 and you

223
00:08:47,270 --> 00:08:47,950
can do this tonight.

224
00:08:48,050 --> 00:08:51,410
Read 1 Thessalonians 4 and remove the chapter

225
00:08:51,410 --> 00:08:51,970
and the verses.

226
00:08:52,190 --> 00:08:53,370
Just let the Scripture flow.

227
00:08:53,470 --> 00:08:54,310
Here's what it says.

228
00:08:55,150 --> 00:08:57,450
So the dead will be caught up together

229
00:08:57,450 --> 00:09:00,050
with those of us who are alive and

230
00:09:00,050 --> 00:09:02,090
so we will be with the Lord forever,

231
00:09:02,090 --> 00:09:06,770
but concerning the times and the seasons, brethren,

232
00:09:06,970 --> 00:09:09,470
you have no need that I should write

233
00:09:09,470 --> 00:09:09,650
you.

234
00:09:09,690 --> 00:09:11,350
In other words, you know, you can see

235
00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:13,210
the handwriting on the wall which many of

236
00:09:13,210 --> 00:09:14,190
us even can see now.

237
00:09:14,570 --> 00:09:17,490
For you yourselves know perfectly that the day

238
00:09:17,490 --> 00:09:19,510
of the Lord so comes as a thief

239
00:09:19,510 --> 00:09:20,510
in the night.

240
00:09:20,810 --> 00:09:23,010
For when they say, peace, peace, and safety,

241
00:09:23,170 --> 00:09:25,490
then sudden destruction comes upon them.

242
00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:28,030
And for me, that can only mean when

243
00:09:28,030 --> 00:09:31,990
Jesus is coming, what people say is the

244
00:09:31,990 --> 00:09:35,470
rapture is actually His second coming because like

245
00:09:35,470 --> 00:09:37,530
a thief in the night, He comes.

246
00:09:37,650 --> 00:09:39,970
And people, there is terror, there is great

247
00:09:39,970 --> 00:09:42,890
fear and anxiety because like a thief in

248
00:09:42,890 --> 00:09:45,210
the night with sudden destruction, He comes.

249
00:09:45,370 --> 00:09:48,250
So personally, just reading the Scripture.

250
00:09:49,030 --> 00:09:52,950
That's why it says, as a pregnant woman

251
00:09:52,950 --> 00:09:55,690
has labor pains, they shall not escape, but

252
00:09:55,690 --> 00:09:57,950
you, brethren, are not in darkness so that

253
00:09:57,950 --> 00:10:00,090
this day should not overtake you as a

254
00:10:00,090 --> 00:10:00,490
thief.

255
00:10:00,870 --> 00:10:04,130
Therefore, comfort one another and edify each other.

256
00:10:04,410 --> 00:10:07,110
And in doing so, you please God.

257
00:10:07,970 --> 00:10:10,270
So if you read all of chapter 4

258
00:10:10,270 --> 00:10:13,290
and chapter 5 in 1 Thessalonians in context,

259
00:10:13,510 --> 00:10:16,050
again, to me, this is just my opinion

260
00:10:16,050 --> 00:10:17,970
how I read it, it appears that when

261
00:10:17,970 --> 00:10:22,250
Jesus comes back in chapter 4, this is

262
00:10:22,250 --> 00:10:23,590
not just a nice coming.

263
00:10:23,870 --> 00:10:25,830
This is a coming where He is going

264
00:10:25,830 --> 00:10:27,430
to be like a thief in the night

265
00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:30,110
and sudden destruction will come upon the earth.

266
00:10:30,310 --> 00:10:32,950
So personally, where I'm at right now, I

267
00:10:32,950 --> 00:10:35,310
see the rapture of the church and Jesus'

268
00:10:35,550 --> 00:10:39,250
second coming as one event, one fulfillment where

269
00:10:39,250 --> 00:10:39,850
I'm at.

270
00:10:39,970 --> 00:10:42,190
So you don't have to email me, all

271
00:10:42,190 --> 00:10:42,610
these things.

272
00:10:42,710 --> 00:10:44,010
I've read tons of things.

273
00:10:44,110 --> 00:10:45,350
I've seen all different sides.

274
00:10:45,630 --> 00:10:47,990
But just reading Scripture, that's where I'm at

275
00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:50,170
right now in my position on eschatology.

276
00:10:51,230 --> 00:10:52,950
You ask 20 different people their views, you'll

277
00:10:52,950 --> 00:10:54,270
probably get 20 different opinions.

278
00:10:54,270 --> 00:10:56,890
So that's what the rapture is.

279
00:10:57,570 --> 00:11:00,450
There's a Jesus, whether you believe it's separate

280
00:11:00,890 --> 00:11:03,810
from a second coming, whatever you believe, the

281
00:11:03,810 --> 00:11:06,230
dead in Christ are going to rise and

282
00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:07,690
those who are alive are going to rise

283
00:11:07,690 --> 00:11:08,890
and be caught up with Jesus.

284
00:11:09,050 --> 00:11:09,830
That is coming.

285
00:11:10,150 --> 00:11:10,930
That is certain.

286
00:11:11,330 --> 00:11:13,490
That is a non-negotiable that Jesus is

287
00:11:13,490 --> 00:11:14,650
coming for His church.

288
00:11:15,090 --> 00:11:16,630
And then we have something that's called the

289
00:11:16,630 --> 00:11:17,310
millennium.

290
00:11:17,870 --> 00:11:20,770
Revelation 20, and He laid hold of the

291
00:11:20,770 --> 00:11:23,290
dragon, that serpent of old, who is the

292
00:11:23,290 --> 00:11:25,250
devil and Satan, and bound him for a

293
00:11:25,250 --> 00:11:26,110
thousand years.

294
00:11:26,310 --> 00:11:28,570
And He threw him into the abyss and

295
00:11:28,570 --> 00:11:31,150
shut it and sealed it over so that

296
00:11:31,150 --> 00:11:34,810
he would not deceive the nations any longer.

297
00:11:35,390 --> 00:11:37,330
I wish it ended there, but it doesn't.

298
00:11:37,970 --> 00:11:41,350
Until the thousand years were completed, after these

299
00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:43,690
things, he must be released again for a

300
00:11:43,690 --> 00:11:44,190
short time.

301
00:11:44,390 --> 00:11:46,310
Why couldn't this joker just go to the

302
00:11:46,310 --> 00:11:47,690
lake of fire and be done with?

303
00:11:47,870 --> 00:11:49,250
Why is he released again?

304
00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:49,350
Millennium.

305
00:11:49,490 --> 00:11:51,870
So, here's where it gets interesting.

306
00:11:53,050 --> 00:11:57,730
I looked up the eight times that a

307
00:11:57,730 --> 00:11:59,950
thousand years is mentioned in the Bible.

308
00:12:00,750 --> 00:12:04,210
And every single time, it's not a literal

309
00:12:04,210 --> 00:12:05,490
thousand years.

310
00:12:05,650 --> 00:12:08,530
So again, just my opinion, my own study

311
00:12:08,530 --> 00:12:09,390
in this.

312
00:12:09,470 --> 00:12:10,450
I'll give you two examples.

313
00:12:10,670 --> 00:12:14,330
Psalm 94, chapter 90, verse 4.

314
00:12:14,450 --> 00:12:16,690
For a thousand years in your sight are

315
00:12:16,690 --> 00:12:19,650
like yesterday when it passes by, or as

316
00:12:19,650 --> 00:12:20,770
a watch in the night.

317
00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:25,410
And then Ecclesiastes 6, chapter 6, verse 6.

318
00:12:25,550 --> 00:12:28,710
Even if the other man lives a thousand

319
00:12:28,710 --> 00:12:31,850
years twice and does not enjoy good things,

320
00:12:32,150 --> 00:12:34,270
do not all go to one place.

321
00:12:34,290 --> 00:12:35,310
And there's other examples.

322
00:12:35,430 --> 00:12:37,590
It's not a thousand years, but one day

323
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:38,090
to the Lord.

324
00:12:38,210 --> 00:12:40,890
So, that's why people don't take this thousand

325
00:12:40,890 --> 00:12:44,270
year reign as a literal thousand years.

326
00:12:44,650 --> 00:12:46,790
They also know that the devil is not

327
00:12:46,790 --> 00:12:49,050
bound by a big chain.

328
00:12:49,130 --> 00:12:50,810
Like you see those big chains that hold

329
00:12:50,810 --> 00:12:53,250
a battleship in place on the dock.

330
00:12:53,370 --> 00:12:54,890
I mean, he's not bound by a physical

331
00:12:54,890 --> 00:12:55,310
chain.

332
00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:57,330
So we do see some of these things

333
00:12:57,330 --> 00:12:57,570
here.

334
00:12:57,870 --> 00:13:00,310
If you're wanting to know my opinion, what

335
00:13:00,310 --> 00:13:03,230
I read into this, to me it looks

336
00:13:03,230 --> 00:13:06,710
like the millennial reign, this period here, is

337
00:13:06,710 --> 00:13:08,530
an actual thousand years.

338
00:13:08,930 --> 00:13:10,790
If you're just asking my opinion.

339
00:13:10,950 --> 00:13:11,730
And why do I say that?

340
00:13:11,750 --> 00:13:13,170
Because I'm going to read Scripture.

341
00:13:14,050 --> 00:13:16,110
Then I saw thrones, and they sat on

342
00:13:16,110 --> 00:13:17,870
them, and judgment was given to them.

343
00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:20,250
So people are going to sit on thrones

344
00:13:20,250 --> 00:13:21,570
and judge during this period.

345
00:13:21,690 --> 00:13:23,510
So that's why again, I'm thinking it could

346
00:13:23,510 --> 00:13:27,450
be a legitimate thousand year period because he's

347
00:13:27,450 --> 00:13:30,870
giving a synopsis of what is happening during

348
00:13:30,870 --> 00:13:31,410
this period.

349
00:13:31,810 --> 00:13:33,550
And I saw the souls of those who

350
00:13:33,550 --> 00:13:36,390
have been beheaded because of their testimony during

351
00:13:36,390 --> 00:13:38,790
this time of Jesus and because of the

352
00:13:38,790 --> 00:13:39,490
Word of God.

353
00:13:39,810 --> 00:13:42,350
And those who had not worshipped the beast

354
00:13:42,350 --> 00:13:45,990
or his image and had not received the

355
00:13:45,990 --> 00:13:46,370
mark.

356
00:13:46,590 --> 00:13:50,570
It's interesting, Revelation never talks about the Antichrist.

357
00:13:50,850 --> 00:13:52,290
That word is not in Revelation.

358
00:13:52,730 --> 00:13:55,190
The Revelation talks about the beast and the

359
00:13:55,190 --> 00:13:55,930
false prophet.

360
00:13:56,290 --> 00:14:00,490
These massive deceivers that come into our world

361
00:14:00,490 --> 00:14:01,710
and deceive many.

362
00:14:02,370 --> 00:14:03,710
That's just a side note by the way.

363
00:14:05,070 --> 00:14:08,070
So whoever takes the mark of the beast,

364
00:14:08,190 --> 00:14:11,450
whoever worships the beast, on their forehead and

365
00:14:11,450 --> 00:14:16,790
on their hand, what happens to these people?

366
00:14:18,090 --> 00:14:19,750
It says right here, those who have not

367
00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:22,770
worshipped the beast and have taken his mark.

368
00:14:23,270 --> 00:14:25,850
So those who reject the mark of the

369
00:14:25,850 --> 00:14:28,670
beast, whatever that mark is, we'll talk about

370
00:14:28,670 --> 00:14:29,110
that in a minute.

371
00:14:29,450 --> 00:14:32,350
Those who reject that are beheaded and they

372
00:14:32,350 --> 00:14:32,830
are killed.

373
00:14:33,070 --> 00:14:35,970
So again, he's talking about this millennial period.

374
00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:39,770
Now I should clarify, last week I mentioned

375
00:14:39,770 --> 00:14:42,150
that John MacArthur caught a lot of heat

376
00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:44,650
because he said that after a person gets

377
00:14:44,650 --> 00:14:47,670
the mark of the beast, they can repent

378
00:14:47,670 --> 00:14:48,330
later on.

379
00:14:48,490 --> 00:14:51,870
Now, some of you should listen to that

380
00:14:51,870 --> 00:14:54,650
sermon again because I did not say that's

381
00:14:54,650 --> 00:14:55,570
what I'm saying.

382
00:14:55,650 --> 00:14:57,670
I actually said I wouldn't say that.

383
00:14:57,770 --> 00:14:59,050
I wouldn't word it that way.

384
00:14:59,430 --> 00:15:00,870
I said you have to be careful.

385
00:15:01,290 --> 00:15:03,190
We don't want to offer people that type

386
00:15:03,190 --> 00:15:04,390
of false hope.

387
00:15:04,810 --> 00:15:08,510
However, I can see where, because Scripture is

388
00:15:08,510 --> 00:15:10,650
not crystal clear on this issue, but it

389
00:15:10,650 --> 00:15:13,030
does give hints that once you take that

390
00:15:13,030 --> 00:15:15,910
mark, once you deny Jesus in this area,

391
00:15:16,250 --> 00:15:18,310
there is a sealing that could take place.

392
00:15:18,390 --> 00:15:20,670
It doesn't say that, but there are hints

393
00:15:20,670 --> 00:15:21,070
here and there.

394
00:15:21,130 --> 00:15:22,050
I'm going to read in just a minute.

395
00:15:22,570 --> 00:15:25,370
So my thought is, I don't know if

396
00:15:25,370 --> 00:15:27,050
a person can repent and believe after they

397
00:15:27,050 --> 00:15:27,610
take the mark.

398
00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:29,230
I would lean towards saying no.

399
00:15:29,550 --> 00:15:32,030
Once they make that decision, their conscience has

400
00:15:32,030 --> 00:15:34,810
been seared and they have rejected Jesus Christ

401
00:15:34,810 --> 00:15:36,770
right then and there and they take this

402
00:15:36,770 --> 00:15:39,970
mark of identification with the antichrist system.

403
00:15:39,970 --> 00:15:42,090
So, it's a very serious matter.

404
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,840
So, it says, those who did not accept

405
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,520
the mark on their forehead or on their

406
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:51,900
hand.

407
00:15:52,380 --> 00:15:54,300
Oh, it actually says on their forehead and

408
00:15:54,300 --> 00:15:55,340
on their hand.

409
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,400
So this is interesting because some people say

410
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:58,100
it's one or the other.

411
00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:59,820
It could be both and it might not

412
00:15:59,820 --> 00:16:01,240
even be a mark on a forehead or

413
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:01,520
a hand.

414
00:16:01,660 --> 00:16:02,880
I'll talk about that in a minute.

415
00:16:03,820 --> 00:16:06,340
And these people who rejected the antichrist, they

416
00:16:06,340 --> 00:16:09,520
came to life and they reigned with Christ

417
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,400
for a thousand years.

418
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,160
So again, the wording of this, if you

419
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,000
actually look up the Greek and it takes

420
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,040
a little bit of time and you look

421
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,200
at the sentence structure of it, it could

422
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,500
mean an actual period of a thousand years.

423
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,200
However, if it doesn't, no skin off my

424
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:27,480
back.

425
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,100
Jesus conquers this joker and Jesus prevails in

426
00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:32,440
the end.

427
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:33,980
How that all unfolds, I'm going to let

428
00:16:33,980 --> 00:16:35,080
God worry about that.

429
00:16:35,420 --> 00:16:36,700
And some of you, I think, you get

430
00:16:36,700 --> 00:16:38,160
too caught up in eschatology.

431
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:40,920
You call people false prophets that don't agree

432
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,460
with you on the non-essentials.

433
00:16:42,460 --> 00:16:45,080
That's wrong and that's prideful and that's arrogant

434
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,520
and it needs to be repented of.

435
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,080
It's a rebellious, critical spirit that you have.

436
00:16:52,970 --> 00:16:54,590
The rest of the dead did not come

437
00:16:54,590 --> 00:16:57,730
to life until the thousand years were complete.

438
00:16:57,850 --> 00:17:00,210
So see, the picture he's painting is an

439
00:17:00,210 --> 00:17:02,650
actual thousand year period in my mind reading

440
00:17:02,650 --> 00:17:03,190
the text.

441
00:17:04,109 --> 00:17:05,550
So the rest of the dead did not

442
00:17:05,550 --> 00:17:08,010
come to life until the thousand years were

443
00:17:08,010 --> 00:17:08,349
complete.

444
00:17:08,490 --> 00:17:11,050
So there's this thousand year of millennial reign.

445
00:17:11,050 --> 00:17:14,270
Another reason people would think that there needs

446
00:17:14,270 --> 00:17:16,010
to be a millennial reign is because some

447
00:17:16,010 --> 00:17:18,369
of the fulfillments of Christ on His throne,

448
00:17:19,230 --> 00:17:20,990
in the Old Testament, would come to fulfillment

449
00:17:20,990 --> 00:17:24,069
here in the words of John the Revelator.

450
00:17:26,910 --> 00:17:28,870
This is the first resurrection.

451
00:17:29,970 --> 00:17:31,630
This is the first resurrection.

452
00:17:32,370 --> 00:17:34,370
Blessed and holy is the one who has

453
00:17:34,370 --> 00:17:36,290
a part in the first resurrection.

454
00:17:36,790 --> 00:17:39,990
Over these, the second death has no power.

455
00:17:40,410 --> 00:17:42,870
So the first resurrection is those who believe

456
00:17:42,870 --> 00:17:43,710
in Jesus Christ.

457
00:17:43,870 --> 00:17:44,990
They are saved.

458
00:17:45,090 --> 00:17:46,710
They are sealed by the Holy Spirit.

459
00:17:46,930 --> 00:17:48,510
That is the first resurrection.

460
00:17:48,750 --> 00:17:50,470
They are brought to life, the newness in

461
00:17:50,470 --> 00:17:50,790
Christ.

462
00:17:51,050 --> 00:17:51,870
They are sealed.

463
00:17:52,190 --> 00:17:55,950
But the second death, the second resurrection is

464
00:17:55,950 --> 00:17:59,190
very, very alarming to many people and it

465
00:17:59,190 --> 00:18:01,610
should be because the Bible says man is

466
00:18:01,610 --> 00:18:03,450
appointed once to death.

467
00:18:03,790 --> 00:18:04,930
Once, once.

468
00:18:05,170 --> 00:18:06,870
And then after that, the judgment.

469
00:18:07,090 --> 00:18:08,430
There's a judgment after that.

470
00:18:08,490 --> 00:18:11,090
And it's often called the second death.

471
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:12,290
Isn't that interesting?

472
00:18:12,670 --> 00:18:15,970
The first death is a physical sensation of

473
00:18:15,970 --> 00:18:16,190
life.

474
00:18:16,290 --> 00:18:18,330
The body dies physically.

475
00:18:18,770 --> 00:18:19,550
The first death.

476
00:18:19,750 --> 00:18:22,610
But then there's the judgment and the soul

477
00:18:22,610 --> 00:18:24,790
or the spirit, whatever you want to call

478
00:18:24,790 --> 00:18:28,090
that aspect that lives on in eternity, that

479
00:18:28,090 --> 00:18:30,710
person is judged.

480
00:18:31,250 --> 00:18:33,470
And that becomes the second death.

481
00:18:34,490 --> 00:18:37,050
Because death is separation from God.

482
00:18:37,350 --> 00:18:39,210
So the first death is the body is

483
00:18:39,210 --> 00:18:39,690
separated.

484
00:18:39,690 --> 00:18:42,190
The second death is the spirit is separated

485
00:18:42,190 --> 00:18:43,250
from God.

486
00:18:43,550 --> 00:18:44,710
The second death.

487
00:18:44,810 --> 00:18:47,890
And let me reassure you that that death

488
00:18:47,890 --> 00:18:50,070
is far greater than the first death.

489
00:18:50,210 --> 00:18:52,330
We should actually not fear the first death.

490
00:18:52,650 --> 00:18:53,950
Nobody should fear death.

491
00:18:54,390 --> 00:18:56,110
Granted, I'm not looking forward to it.

492
00:18:56,390 --> 00:18:57,850
I don't want to know how it happens.

493
00:18:58,670 --> 00:18:59,870
I've got things to do.

494
00:18:59,970 --> 00:19:01,350
God has called me here for a season.

495
00:19:01,790 --> 00:19:04,090
But ultimately, and then fear comes in our

496
00:19:04,090 --> 00:19:06,650
mind sometimes and we don't want to, you

497
00:19:06,650 --> 00:19:08,270
know, people say, you know, do you want

498
00:19:08,270 --> 00:19:09,310
to burn to death or do you want

499
00:19:09,310 --> 00:19:09,730
to drown?

500
00:19:09,870 --> 00:19:10,590
I don't want to do either.

501
00:19:10,710 --> 00:19:12,110
I just want to go to sleep and

502
00:19:12,110 --> 00:19:13,030
I want God to take me.

503
00:19:13,490 --> 00:19:16,290
But there's a hope.

504
00:19:16,710 --> 00:19:17,630
And our hope isn't here.

505
00:19:17,710 --> 00:19:20,370
Our hope is in Jesus Christ because we

506
00:19:20,370 --> 00:19:23,210
will not experience the second death which is

507
00:19:23,210 --> 00:19:23,630
judgment.

508
00:19:24,090 --> 00:19:25,910
So he says, blessed and holy is the

509
00:19:25,910 --> 00:19:27,090
one who has a part in the first

510
00:19:27,090 --> 00:19:27,610
resurrection.

511
00:19:28,070 --> 00:19:30,150
The second death has no power over you.

512
00:19:30,330 --> 00:19:32,350
But you'll be priests of God and of

513
00:19:32,350 --> 00:19:34,530
Christ and will reign with Him for a

514
00:19:34,530 --> 00:19:35,690
thousand years.

515
00:19:36,290 --> 00:19:38,350
So this is, I believe, when we are

516
00:19:38,350 --> 00:19:41,850
reigning with Christ and it's a literal thousand

517
00:19:41,850 --> 00:19:45,030
years because of the context of this, in

518
00:19:45,030 --> 00:19:45,610
my opinion.

519
00:19:45,990 --> 00:19:48,770
I know people like Sam Storm, a person

520
00:19:48,770 --> 00:19:52,530
I highly respect, would probably disagree with me

521
00:19:52,530 --> 00:19:53,450
on this and others.

522
00:19:55,130 --> 00:19:56,610
And that says, when the thousand years are

523
00:19:56,610 --> 00:20:00,250
completed, Satan will be released from his prison.

524
00:20:00,710 --> 00:20:01,990
Now there's a lot of speculation.

525
00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:05,090
He is bound, which means his influence is

526
00:20:05,090 --> 00:20:05,430
bound.

527
00:20:05,650 --> 00:20:08,770
But then there's a short time where he's

528
00:20:08,770 --> 00:20:09,450
released again.

529
00:20:09,550 --> 00:20:12,450
And I personally don't know the exact purpose

530
00:20:12,450 --> 00:20:13,190
of that.

531
00:20:14,210 --> 00:20:15,550
So that is the millennium.

532
00:20:15,610 --> 00:20:17,250
That's the millennial reign of Christ.

533
00:20:17,370 --> 00:20:20,770
So when people say, are you premillennial or

534
00:20:20,770 --> 00:20:21,970
postmillennial?

535
00:20:23,230 --> 00:20:25,890
I don't know if midmillennial is probably not

536
00:20:25,890 --> 00:20:26,370
a belief.

537
00:20:28,130 --> 00:20:29,950
Midtribulation is and different things.

538
00:20:30,570 --> 00:20:33,850
But premillennial, a person believes that Jesus is

539
00:20:33,850 --> 00:20:36,730
coming back before the millennial reign.

540
00:20:37,150 --> 00:20:40,670
Second, postmillennial believes differently in that.

541
00:20:40,750 --> 00:20:41,550
And you can Google it.

542
00:20:41,610 --> 00:20:42,010
Study it.

543
00:20:42,030 --> 00:20:43,390
There's a lot of information out there.

544
00:20:43,470 --> 00:20:45,170
It would take me many, many months to

545
00:20:45,170 --> 00:20:46,670
fully unpack this topic.

546
00:20:47,470 --> 00:20:49,630
And then we want to talk about the

547
00:20:49,630 --> 00:20:50,910
Antichrist.

548
00:20:53,220 --> 00:20:54,180
The Antichrist.

549
00:20:54,300 --> 00:20:55,940
He is mentioned in Revelation.

550
00:20:57,580 --> 00:20:59,620
I'm sorry, he's not mentioned in Revelation.

551
00:20:59,980 --> 00:21:02,120
Just the beast is, what I said earlier.

552
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:04,140
And I like what Sam Storm said.

553
00:21:04,340 --> 00:21:04,780
Sam Storm.

554
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,780
I'm open, but I'm not entirely convinced.

555
00:21:08,340 --> 00:21:10,080
So that's where I'm at in this journey

556
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,560
of eschatology over 20 years where I haven't

557
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,840
really taught on it in a firm way

558
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,320
because it's kind of fluid.

559
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,500
I don't know.

560
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:22,960
I don't want to say, thus saith the

561
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,980
Lord on things that are not really clear.

562
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:27,200
But I'm open.

563
00:21:27,300 --> 00:21:29,340
I'm open to the current understanding, but I'm

564
00:21:29,340 --> 00:21:30,920
not yet entirely convinced.

565
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:31,840
Let me read to you.

566
00:21:31,980 --> 00:21:36,380
Daniel 9.24 Seventy weeks are decreed for

567
00:21:36,380 --> 00:21:39,040
your people and your holy city to stop

568
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,920
their transgressions, to put an end to sin,

569
00:21:42,180 --> 00:21:44,760
and to make atonement for the iniquity, to

570
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,060
bring everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and

571
00:21:48,060 --> 00:21:51,800
prophecy, and to anoint the most holy place.

572
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,220
Now, most agree that this is talking about

573
00:21:55,220 --> 00:21:58,460
Jesus and Him coming and that fulfillment.

574
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,380
And then verse 25, Know and understand this

575
00:22:01,380 --> 00:22:04,780
from the issuance of the decree to restore

576
00:22:04,780 --> 00:22:08,480
and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince.

577
00:22:08,740 --> 00:22:11,000
There will be seven weeks and sixty-two

578
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:11,340
weeks.

579
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,980
It will be rebuilt with streets and a

580
00:22:13,980 --> 00:22:16,320
trench, but in times of distress.

581
00:22:16,900 --> 00:22:19,520
Most would agree this is referring, especially if

582
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,360
I could put up a big calendar here

583
00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:25,000
of the exact time when the decree went

584
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,760
out and Cyrus is involved and there's a

585
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,160
decree and Daniel wrote about it and then

586
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,240
you have Ezra and Nehemiah.

587
00:22:33,380 --> 00:22:36,800
Ezra going first, then Nehemiah rebuilding Jerusalem.

588
00:22:36,980 --> 00:22:38,980
Ezra the temple, Nehemiah the wall.

589
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,380
And you see this fulfillment is happening.

590
00:22:41,500 --> 00:22:43,500
It's actually amazing to look at the dates.

591
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,300
Then after the sixty-two weeks, the Messiah

592
00:22:46,300 --> 00:22:49,280
will be cut off and will have nothing.

593
00:22:49,860 --> 00:22:52,060
Many would say this is the crucifixion on

594
00:22:52,060 --> 00:22:53,600
the cross if you look at the dates

595
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,280
of this prophecy.

596
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,100
Now here's where it gets interesting.

597
00:22:58,580 --> 00:23:01,260
Then the people of the Prince who is

598
00:23:01,260 --> 00:23:04,840
to come will destroy the city and the

599
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:05,360
sanctuary.

600
00:23:06,580 --> 00:23:08,680
Then the end will come like a flood

601
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,920
and until the end there will be war.

602
00:23:12,140 --> 00:23:13,960
Desolations have been decreed.

603
00:23:14,740 --> 00:23:18,600
And then verse 27, and He will confirm

604
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,920
a covenant with many for one week.

605
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,260
So some people, I don't know how the

606
00:23:23,260 --> 00:23:26,040
word He becomes the Antichrist.

607
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,760
Because it doesn't really say that.

608
00:23:28,820 --> 00:23:30,460
Now you can say the Prince who is

609
00:23:30,460 --> 00:23:31,440
to come is this.

610
00:23:31,780 --> 00:23:33,660
Some people say it was Titus who conquered

611
00:23:33,660 --> 00:23:36,020
Jerusalem in 70 A.D. But for me,

612
00:23:36,100 --> 00:23:39,280
just reading this, especially when it goes on

613
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,140
to say He will put an end to

614
00:23:41,140 --> 00:23:42,520
sacrifice and offering.

615
00:23:42,620 --> 00:23:44,800
That's why some people believe that this is

616
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,720
referring to Jesus Christ putting an end to

617
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,740
sacrifice and offering by His ultimate sacrifice on

618
00:23:51,740 --> 00:23:52,320
the cross.

619
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,420
And on the wing of the temple will

620
00:23:54,420 --> 00:23:57,900
come the abomination that causes desolation until the

621
00:23:57,900 --> 00:24:01,660
decree destruction is poured out upon Him.

622
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,540
So many would see that the wrath of

623
00:24:03,540 --> 00:24:05,700
God is being poured out on Jesus Christ.

624
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,340
Now, again, like I said earlier, I'm going

625
00:24:08,340 --> 00:24:08,960
to read it to you.

626
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,680
I'm open, but I'm not entirely convinced.

627
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,620
I'm open that this passage could be talking

628
00:24:15,620 --> 00:24:17,640
about an Antichrist.

629
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,500
A leader that will make a covenant with

630
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:22,920
Israel and break that covenant.

631
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,320
Personally, I've read Revelation many times.

632
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,200
I've read it all in one day.

633
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:29,900
I've studied both sides.

634
00:24:30,420 --> 00:24:34,640
I can't make that connection unequivocally.

635
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,160
Without a shadow of a doubt, this is

636
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:37,800
what's going to happen.

637
00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:40,000
I just think there's too many loose ends.

638
00:24:40,380 --> 00:24:41,600
There's too many what-ifs.

639
00:24:41,820 --> 00:24:45,100
There's too much speculation to know and wonder

640
00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:47,320
how did this He, this Prince who is

641
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,360
to come, He will confirm a covenant.

642
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,700
How did this He become the Antichrist when

643
00:24:51,700 --> 00:24:54,760
actually the context of that whole passage is

644
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:55,680
talking about Jesus?

645
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,640
So, that's where I'm at right now.

646
00:24:58,420 --> 00:25:00,180
Going forward in 10 years, you can ask

647
00:25:00,180 --> 00:25:02,500
me again, and we will probably know more.

648
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,040
But I do see the nation of Israel

649
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:06,000
when it was rebuilt.

650
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:07,760
And I see the focus there.

651
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,880
I see that many of the blessings given

652
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,960
to Abram in the nation of Israel have

653
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,160
been fulfilled by the church.

654
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,360
I do see that, but I do see

655
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:18,720
also running parallel, just to me there appears

656
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,060
to be a plan for Israel and a

657
00:25:21,060 --> 00:25:21,840
plan for the church.

658
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:24,540
I don't embrace covenant theology.

659
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,860
I don't embrace replacement theology where the church

660
00:25:27,860 --> 00:25:30,000
has replaced Israel completely.

661
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:33,280
I'm open on both issues, but I think

662
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,320
there's a plan for Israel based on the...

663
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,800
Look at this little speck of land over

664
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,420
there and all the turmoil about it.

665
00:25:39,420 --> 00:25:46,040
It was rebuilt in the 1948 war and

666
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:46,500
different things.

667
00:25:46,940 --> 00:25:49,420
And Jerusalem is now...

668
00:25:49,940 --> 00:25:52,080
The embassy has been moved.

669
00:25:52,380 --> 00:25:54,260
And the attacks against Israel.

670
00:25:54,460 --> 00:25:56,420
And you see a lot of reports out

671
00:25:56,420 --> 00:25:58,720
there that they're wanting to build another temple.

672
00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:00,740
And that's where I have another problem with

673
00:26:00,740 --> 00:26:01,820
the millennial reign as well.

674
00:26:01,940 --> 00:26:05,860
Why would God want a temple and sacrifices?

675
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:07,860
And people say, well, it's just a memorial.

676
00:26:07,860 --> 00:26:09,580
No, that's not a good memorial.

677
00:26:09,700 --> 00:26:11,040
That's a blasphemous memorial.

678
00:26:11,620 --> 00:26:14,420
So is Ezekiel talking about something different?

679
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,380
That's why I'm saying there's so much speculation

680
00:26:17,380 --> 00:26:17,800
out there.

681
00:26:17,900 --> 00:26:20,000
But I do see that there could be

682
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,000
a plan for Israel.

683
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,720
And I do see that God is still

684
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,160
concerned about that area of property in my

685
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:25,520
opinion.

686
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,600
And how he said, David, I will bless

687
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:27,760
it.

688
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,100
I will bless you down through all generations.

689
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,900
All nations will be blessed because of you.

690
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,360
So I can't make that separation even though

691
00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:35,880
I do see some of the promises.

692
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,060
The Gentiles have been grafted in, so to

693
00:26:39,060 --> 00:26:41,560
speak, and we receive many of the blessings

694
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,720
of Israel in that covenant relationship.

695
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,560
So, that's why many people see it running

696
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:48,680
two different ways.

697
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,040
The church and Israel.

698
00:26:50,460 --> 00:26:51,820
And we will know in the end how

699
00:26:51,820 --> 00:26:52,660
that all plays out.

700
00:26:52,740 --> 00:26:54,380
You can also see how they could be

701
00:26:54,380 --> 00:26:56,840
the epicenter of what is taking place here

702
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,760
in the future with a one world government.

703
00:26:59,180 --> 00:27:01,020
And the reason I lean towards a lot

704
00:27:01,020 --> 00:27:02,880
of what is taught with one world government

705
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,000
and the one world leader and the mark

706
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,220
is because that's where it looks like everything

707
00:27:10,220 --> 00:27:10,780
is going.

708
00:27:11,780 --> 00:27:15,260
With this coronavirus that has completely gotten out

709
00:27:15,260 --> 00:27:17,740
of control politically, and they are using it

710
00:27:17,740 --> 00:27:18,460
as a weapon.

711
00:27:18,620 --> 00:27:20,780
You can see how they could bring fear

712
00:27:20,780 --> 00:27:24,060
into the lives of millions if not billions

713
00:27:24,060 --> 00:27:24,560
of people.

714
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,240
People crying out for a one world system.

715
00:27:27,460 --> 00:27:28,880
A one world leader.

716
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,420
And then you have to have allegiance to

717
00:27:31,420 --> 00:27:33,000
that leader and you can't buy or sell

718
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,740
or do anything without your allegiance to that

719
00:27:35,740 --> 00:27:36,000
leader.

720
00:27:36,180 --> 00:27:38,200
We're seeing that unfold in China right now.

721
00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:41,400
So, I can definitely see how we are

722
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:42,460
moving in that direction.

723
00:27:43,140 --> 00:27:45,580
So, with that said the mark of the

724
00:27:45,580 --> 00:27:48,340
beast well that comes from Revelation 13.

725
00:27:49,540 --> 00:27:52,020
Revelation 13 you can begin reading in verse

726
00:27:52,020 --> 00:27:52,460
11.

727
00:27:53,060 --> 00:27:55,360
Then I saw another beast rising out of

728
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:55,760
the earth.

729
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,600
It had two horns like a lamb and

730
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,320
it spoke like a dragon.

731
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,520
Don't try to guess what this is.

732
00:28:01,660 --> 00:28:03,780
I've seen many people have different views on

733
00:28:03,780 --> 00:28:04,060
this.

734
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,620
All we know is that John saw this

735
00:28:06,620 --> 00:28:07,000
image.

736
00:28:07,540 --> 00:28:10,980
And it exercises all the authority of the

737
00:28:10,980 --> 00:28:14,180
first beast and in its presence and makes

738
00:28:14,180 --> 00:28:17,660
the earth and its inhabitants worship the first

739
00:28:17,660 --> 00:28:18,040
beast.

740
00:28:18,140 --> 00:28:19,540
So here we see a hierarchy.

741
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,460
A trinity if you will of the antichrist

742
00:28:22,460 --> 00:28:24,640
spirit of the false prophet, the beast.

743
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,380
They are working in unison here.

744
00:28:27,380 --> 00:28:28,440
Two different people.

745
00:28:29,620 --> 00:28:32,020
And they even have fire come down from

746
00:28:32,020 --> 00:28:32,360
heaven.

747
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,600
They perform great signs.

748
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:35,560
So this is interesting.

749
00:28:35,700 --> 00:28:37,120
I don't know how that is going to

750
00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:37,420
happen.

751
00:28:38,300 --> 00:28:40,820
That's going to be a miraculous working of

752
00:28:40,820 --> 00:28:41,220
evil.

753
00:28:42,020 --> 00:28:45,160
And by the signs they are allowed to

754
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,880
work in the presence of the beast.

755
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,020
It deceives those who dwell on the earth.

756
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:52,760
So this is why we have to be

757
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:53,100
careful.

758
00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:56,800
Signs and wonders and these amazing things aren't

759
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,580
necessarily an indication that God is in it.

760
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,360
False prophets can do false things.

761
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,280
We don't really see that to the magnitude

762
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:07,460
that Moses saw it.

763
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,280
Or that we read about here.

764
00:29:09,460 --> 00:29:11,880
But it can and it will happen.

765
00:29:12,780 --> 00:29:14,400
Jesus said many will come to me in

766
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,840
that day and say we did all these

767
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:16,980
things in your name.

768
00:29:17,100 --> 00:29:18,940
Casting out demons and doing great things.

769
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,340
And he says depart from me.

770
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,620
I don't know you those who practice lawlessness.

771
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,200
So picking up.

772
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,520
The beast deceives those who dwell on the

773
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:32,800
earth.

774
00:29:33,540 --> 00:29:36,100
Telling them to make an image for the

775
00:29:36,100 --> 00:29:38,320
beast that was wounded by the sword and

776
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:38,900
yet lived.

777
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,020
So we see this false system.

778
00:29:41,180 --> 00:29:43,280
There will be something, an image that is

779
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:44,000
worshipped.

780
00:29:44,300 --> 00:29:45,680
And if somebody tries to tell you exactly

781
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:46,700
what it is, be careful.

782
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,120
Because we do not know.

783
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,220
It's fun to speculate, but we do not

784
00:29:50,220 --> 00:29:50,480
know.

785
00:29:50,980 --> 00:29:52,900
And it was allowed to give breath to

786
00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:54,380
the image of the beast so that the

787
00:29:54,380 --> 00:29:57,160
image of the beast might even speak and

788
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,120
might cause those who would not worship the

789
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,920
image of the beast to be slain.

790
00:30:01,220 --> 00:30:03,060
They would kill those who don't worship him.

791
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,860
Also it causes all, both small and great,

792
00:30:08,340 --> 00:30:11,320
rich and poor, slave and free to be

793
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,060
marked on the right hand or the forehead.

794
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,860
So that no one can buy or sell

795
00:30:16,860 --> 00:30:19,720
unless he has the mark that is the

796
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,060
name of the beast or the number of

797
00:30:22,060 --> 00:30:23,140
it's name.

798
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:24,900
So that's where the mark of the beast

799
00:30:24,900 --> 00:30:25,480
comes from.

800
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,700
There's a clear warning that there's going to

801
00:30:27,700 --> 00:30:29,580
be some type of system that you have

802
00:30:29,580 --> 00:30:31,380
to have a mark on you.

803
00:30:33,180 --> 00:30:35,360
There's something that indicates you.

804
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,160
That gives an indication what side are you

805
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:39,540
on.

806
00:30:39,700 --> 00:30:42,820
And that's why personally I think this November

807
00:30:42,820 --> 00:30:47,040
election and political issues are so important.

808
00:30:47,580 --> 00:30:49,420
This is why many don't want to talk

809
00:30:49,420 --> 00:30:49,840
about it.

810
00:30:49,940 --> 00:30:51,540
This is why the other party doesn't like

811
00:30:51,540 --> 00:30:52,700
me talking about it.

812
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,660
Because it upsets things and it ignites things.

813
00:30:55,860 --> 00:30:59,280
And leaders are going to play a huge

814
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,420
role in the direction of our nation.

815
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,500
If you see the wrong person in office

816
00:31:03,500 --> 00:31:06,540
in November, you can kiss your Christian liberties

817
00:31:06,540 --> 00:31:06,900
goodbye.

818
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,500
I think that things like this could be

819
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:13,480
magnified and multiplied much sooner if the wrong

820
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,520
people are in positions of leadership.

821
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,320
So no one could buy or sell.

822
00:31:23,580 --> 00:31:24,700
This calls for wisdom.

823
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,340
Let the one who has understanding calculate the

824
00:31:29,340 --> 00:31:30,600
number of the beast.

825
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,100
For its number is that number of a

826
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:33,480
man.

827
00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:36,480
And that number is 666.

828
00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:38,300
Isn't it interesting?

829
00:31:38,420 --> 00:31:41,340
God's numbers of completion and perfection 777.

830
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,560
This takes on 666.

831
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,520
And as I talked about last week, you

832
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:47,400
want to listen to that message.

833
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:52,200
If you look at the Hebrew numerical value

834
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,960
of the letters for Nero, Caesar, Caesar, Nero,

835
00:31:55,460 --> 00:31:56,820
it comes out to 666.

836
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,420
Was John writing this letter to warn the

837
00:32:00,420 --> 00:32:02,680
early church about Caesar, Nero?

838
00:32:02,900 --> 00:32:04,520
And I explained that last week.

839
00:32:04,620 --> 00:32:06,160
I'm not convinced of that.

840
00:32:06,380 --> 00:32:08,080
But that is one idea out there.

841
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,280
But my thoughts on this are a few.

842
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,400
And I want to share them with you.

843
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,820
It's a symbol of who you will follow.

844
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:17,920
It may not be a mark.

845
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,740
An actual mark.

846
00:32:21,380 --> 00:32:23,620
The Bible talks about being marked by God.

847
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:24,840
You are a child of God.

848
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,240
You are marked with His spirit.

849
00:32:26,380 --> 00:32:28,680
So Christians will have the spirit of God.

850
00:32:29,140 --> 00:32:30,840
Others will not.

851
00:32:30,980 --> 00:32:31,720
There will be a mark.

852
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,420
So it could be physical.

853
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,240
It could be something on forehead or on

854
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:36,680
your hand.

855
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,960
Or the big thing right now is vaccines

856
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:39,900
and having a chip.

857
00:32:39,980 --> 00:32:41,480
There could be a chip implanted.

858
00:32:42,100 --> 00:32:45,040
Now, let me just encourage you a little

859
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:45,300
bit.

860
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,440
Nobody is going to sneak something into you.

861
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:49,840
Like, I got this vaccine.

862
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,020
Oh no, I took the mark of the

863
00:32:51,020 --> 00:32:51,140
beast.

864
00:32:51,420 --> 00:32:52,600
No, it's going to be clear.

865
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,040
It's going to be so clear that people

866
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,280
will lose their life over it.

867
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,580
So you will have to make a decision.

868
00:32:58,100 --> 00:32:58,940
Those who are here.

869
00:32:59,540 --> 00:33:01,100
Depending on your rapture eschatology.

870
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:02,260
See where this gets interesting.

871
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,280
So, you're going to have to make a

872
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:05,560
decision.

873
00:33:05,980 --> 00:33:08,800
Accept the false system.

874
00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:10,040
The godless system.

875
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,840
And be identified with them.

876
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,560
And then you can buy and sell and

877
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:14,020
different things.

878
00:33:14,420 --> 00:33:16,080
Or be marked by God.

879
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,080
And be cast off from this world system.

880
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,860
And Kanye West is in the news again.

881
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,760
I don't know if you can be surprised

882
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:24,220
by that.

883
00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:27,300
But he said that COVID-19 vaccine is

884
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:28,760
a mark of the beast.

885
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,420
And Hank Hanegraaff responded.

886
00:33:31,660 --> 00:33:32,620
You can read that article.

887
00:33:32,780 --> 00:33:35,800
I think if you just Google Kanye West

888
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,860
says COVID-19 vaccine is a mark of

889
00:33:37,860 --> 00:33:38,200
the beast.

890
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:39,840
Hank Hanegraaff responds.

891
00:33:39,980 --> 00:33:42,080
Actually, Hank Hanegraaff a while ago.

892
00:33:42,260 --> 00:33:43,420
Probably over a decade ago.

893
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,080
Came out and he said he embraced the

894
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:50,200
all millennial view that revelation was fulfilled when

895
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,160
Titus conquered the city of Jerusalem in 70

896
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:53,460
AD.

897
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:54,320
Very interesting.

898
00:33:55,140 --> 00:33:56,660
He caught a lot of flack for that.

899
00:33:57,500 --> 00:33:58,420
And I'm not sure why.

900
00:33:58,500 --> 00:34:00,320
Because people should have different views on this.

901
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,280
But it really ruffles people's feathers if you

902
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:03,620
don't gravitate towards their view.

903
00:34:03,740 --> 00:34:04,180
Trust me.

904
00:34:04,820 --> 00:34:07,000
So, the forehead and the hands.

905
00:34:08,060 --> 00:34:10,219
Here's what's interesting about the forehead and the

906
00:34:10,219 --> 00:34:10,480
hands.

907
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:12,260
What I talked about.

908
00:34:12,380 --> 00:34:14,179
Look at Old Testament imagery.

909
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:15,860
Old Testament imagery.

910
00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:17,980
When they would talk about writing things on

911
00:34:17,980 --> 00:34:21,020
their forehead or things on their hands, it

912
00:34:21,020 --> 00:34:24,260
was always a symbol of their belief and

913
00:34:24,260 --> 00:34:24,940
their behavior.

914
00:34:25,380 --> 00:34:27,900
They would not take some charcoal from a

915
00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:30,420
fire and when God said write something on

916
00:34:30,420 --> 00:34:32,580
your hand or write something on your forehead,

917
00:34:32,780 --> 00:34:35,320
it was always in relation to their behavior

918
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:36,480
and to their actions.

919
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,040
So this mark might be more aligned with

920
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,800
how we behave and how we act.

921
00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:42,600
Who we identify with.

922
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:45,980
Now, I do find it interesting.

923
00:34:46,179 --> 00:34:49,440
The Federal Reserve is working on digital currency

924
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,000
as we speak.

925
00:34:51,540 --> 00:34:53,300
They want to replace the dollar.

926
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:54,780
So you can see a lot of this

927
00:34:54,780 --> 00:34:56,000
is coming to be fulfilled.

928
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,560
That's why I don't put an early date

929
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:00,480
on the book of Revelation.

930
00:35:00,660 --> 00:35:02,960
I don't think it was necessarily pertaining to

931
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,020
AD 70, even though there are some interesting

932
00:35:05,020 --> 00:35:05,480
connections.

933
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,340
I see a lot of this being fulfilled

934
00:35:07,340 --> 00:35:07,760
now.

935
00:35:08,300 --> 00:35:09,860
So they want to get rid of the

936
00:35:09,860 --> 00:35:13,680
dollar and move to digital currency based on

937
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:18,160
something called block chain technology.

938
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:19,700
Block chain technology.

939
00:35:19,940 --> 00:35:23,420
Now, I'm not an expert on explaining this,

940
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:23,920
but let me try.

941
00:35:24,540 --> 00:35:28,100
If you take a Google document and you

942
00:35:28,100 --> 00:35:28,480
share it.

943
00:35:28,500 --> 00:35:29,900
I just did this today for this sermon

944
00:35:29,900 --> 00:35:30,380
actually.

945
00:35:31,220 --> 00:35:33,060
Sent it to the office here to have

946
00:35:33,060 --> 00:35:34,080
it be printed.

947
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,700
I didn't give them something and exchange something

948
00:35:37,700 --> 00:35:38,640
or lose something.

949
00:35:38,940 --> 00:35:42,060
We actually gave a document that we can

950
00:35:42,060 --> 00:35:44,780
now all share and now all access at

951
00:35:44,780 --> 00:35:45,860
the same time.

952
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,280
So it's different than printed money going from

953
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:49,440
one person to the next.

954
00:35:49,780 --> 00:35:51,420
It's a shared resource.

955
00:35:52,460 --> 00:35:55,520
And you can all look at it at

956
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:56,280
the same time.

957
00:35:56,420 --> 00:35:59,060
Now, there's some pros and cons to this.

958
00:35:59,980 --> 00:36:02,300
I don't like it because the Bible seems

959
00:36:02,300 --> 00:36:03,300
to speak ill of it.

960
00:36:03,620 --> 00:36:05,360
But they are going to present it as

961
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,240
this wonderful thing and it might have benefits.

962
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,600
I don't think it won't have benefits.

963
00:36:10,020 --> 00:36:14,900
But you should be strategic on how you

964
00:36:14,900 --> 00:36:18,960
plan ahead, having cash on hand, little gold

965
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:19,660
or silver.

966
00:36:20,060 --> 00:36:21,240
You want to be strategic.

967
00:36:22,140 --> 00:36:23,880
And there was something out there on Facebook

968
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,620
that Dave Ramsey said.

969
00:36:26,020 --> 00:36:28,040
Here's why we don't want to go cashless.

970
00:36:28,140 --> 00:36:30,540
This is what a cashless society will do.

971
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,080
But you have to fact check these.

972
00:36:32,180 --> 00:36:34,740
He actually put on Twitter, he said, this

973
00:36:34,740 --> 00:36:35,480
is not me.

974
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,020
I did not say that.

975
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,720
And that article has some good points on

976
00:36:39,720 --> 00:36:41,580
what cashless society means.

977
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,160
But I looked at some of those points

978
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:45,740
and I didn't agree with some of that.

979
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,100
Well, no, you can still do this.

980
00:36:47,140 --> 00:36:48,900
You can still take an odd job and

981
00:36:48,900 --> 00:36:49,360
get paid.

982
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,820
So, you know, I'm not looking forward to

983
00:36:51,820 --> 00:36:52,040
this.

984
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,260
I want to hold on to the cash

985
00:36:54,260 --> 00:36:56,000
as long as we can and not move

986
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,820
into Revelation chapter 13 too quick.

987
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,280
But these things are coming.

988
00:37:03,020 --> 00:37:05,260
Now, the mark of the beast, a chip

989
00:37:05,260 --> 00:37:06,160
in the vaccine.

990
00:37:07,060 --> 00:37:08,620
I get a question about that every day.

991
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,300
So, I don't know how long should I

992
00:37:12,300 --> 00:37:12,900
stay here, Luke.

993
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:14,400
Camp out for a minute.

994
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,120
Yes, they can implant a chip.

995
00:37:18,260 --> 00:37:19,800
You can see Bill Gates has talked about

996
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:20,400
it before.

997
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,620
And yes, I know about Big Pharma, Bill

998
00:37:23,620 --> 00:37:24,620
Gates, Fauci.

999
00:37:25,180 --> 00:37:28,580
You know, there's an agenda to push a

1000
00:37:28,580 --> 00:37:29,500
lot of these things.

1001
00:37:30,340 --> 00:37:32,440
And a chip can go into the vaccine.

1002
00:37:33,060 --> 00:37:35,880
But if they did that for tracking purposes,

1003
00:37:36,020 --> 00:37:38,440
you would still have to clearly reject God.

1004
00:37:38,540 --> 00:37:40,880
It's not like you get this vaccine and

1005
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,980
then now you're walking around like a robot

1006
00:37:42,980 --> 00:37:44,080
who took the mark of the beast.

1007
00:37:44,220 --> 00:37:45,460
It'll be so clear.

1008
00:37:45,700 --> 00:37:49,300
So clear that people will die because of

1009
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:49,400
it.

1010
00:37:49,460 --> 00:37:50,880
So, don't worry about that.

1011
00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:52,820
But I should probably give you, let's call

1012
00:37:52,820 --> 00:37:56,220
this Pastor Shane's vaccine rant, okay?

1013
00:37:56,340 --> 00:37:58,540
Give me just a minute because people say

1014
00:37:58,540 --> 00:37:59,540
all the time, what do you think about

1015
00:37:59,540 --> 00:37:59,900
vaccines?

1016
00:38:00,020 --> 00:38:00,800
What are your thoughts?

1017
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,380
I have a history, I have a background

1018
00:38:03,380 --> 00:38:04,260
of health and fitness.

1019
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,260
I'm not an expert in any one area.

1020
00:38:06,380 --> 00:38:07,740
I'm a jack of all trades, but an

1021
00:38:07,740 --> 00:38:09,140
expert in none is what I would say.

1022
00:38:09,820 --> 00:38:11,940
But I'm just wondering why is there such

1023
00:38:11,940 --> 00:38:15,320
a big push for vaccines but not healthy

1024
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:15,860
alternatives?

1025
00:38:16,660 --> 00:38:18,880
That's my big beef really because, well, just

1026
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:19,580
get the vaccine.

1027
00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:21,320
People are like, if we would just get

1028
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:22,880
the vaccine, I want to tell them, no,

1029
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,800
you need to stop driving through McDonald's and

1030
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,040
Panda Express and Baskin Robbins and 31 Flavors

1031
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:30,420
and get off the couch and exercise.

1032
00:38:30,780 --> 00:38:32,860
You need to eat God-given foods that

1033
00:38:32,860 --> 00:38:34,200
will build up your immune system.

1034
00:38:34,300 --> 00:38:36,500
You need to get on high dosages of

1035
00:38:36,500 --> 00:38:37,500
vitamin C.

1036
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,580
You need to get on clodial silver, elderberry,

1037
00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:43,720
echinacea, all these different things that actually build

1038
00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:46,300
up what they're called the immune support.

1039
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:46,560
Why?

1040
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,680
Because they encourage the immune system to build

1041
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,060
up and strengthen itself.

1042
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,880
Why are there no natural remedies being promoted?

1043
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:54,420
Why?

1044
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,580
Because it does not pay the bills.

1045
00:38:58,700 --> 00:39:00,480
It does not bring in the big dollars.

1046
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:01,620
And you can just research.

1047
00:39:01,740 --> 00:39:05,420
Look at what they've tried with intravenous use

1048
00:39:05,420 --> 00:39:06,840
of vitamin C for cancer.

1049
00:39:07,260 --> 00:39:10,100
Vitamin C is a wonderful tool.

1050
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,060
You can look at vitamin E, Q enzyme

1051
00:39:13,060 --> 00:39:19,180
ubiquinol, and vitamin K and D combination and

1052
00:39:19,180 --> 00:39:20,880
B complex vitamins.

1053
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,740
All these things are wonderful for actually helping

1054
00:39:24,740 --> 00:39:26,320
to prevent the virus.

1055
00:39:27,060 --> 00:39:28,420
And so that's why I get a little

1056
00:39:28,420 --> 00:39:31,400
worked up because a vaccine is not going

1057
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,100
to fix your poor health problem.

1058
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:35,660
That has to be fixed from the inside

1059
00:39:35,660 --> 00:39:36,000
out.

1060
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,360
If people would strengthen their immune system, if

1061
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,480
we would start losing weight and strengthening our

1062
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,460
immune system, that's how you're going to fix

1063
00:39:42,460 --> 00:39:43,860
the healthcare problem.

1064
00:39:43,860 --> 00:39:44,600
Healthcare.

1065
00:39:44,780 --> 00:39:45,500
Everyone's sick.

1066
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:46,100
What's going on?

1067
00:39:46,260 --> 00:39:48,340
We've got to get off the junk food

1068
00:39:48,340 --> 00:39:50,440
that's made in a factory and get back

1069
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,060
to eating God-given food.

1070
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,160
And you might even fast for a season.

1071
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,080
Give your body a chance to rest.

1072
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,700
Let autophagy take place and begin to consume

1073
00:39:58,700 --> 00:40:01,200
the dead cells and the cancerous cells of

1074
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:01,640
the body.

1075
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,060
You have to allow the body to heal

1076
00:40:04,060 --> 00:40:04,560
itself.

1077
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,500
So many realize that there is a big

1078
00:40:07,500 --> 00:40:11,120
push for vaccines because there is ulterior motives

1079
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,980
driven by revenue.

1080
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,260
So, people ask, well, are you an anti

1081
00:40:16,260 --> 00:40:17,480
-vaccine person?

1082
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,060
Anti-vax is what they call it.

1083
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,420
I'm for anything that works well.

1084
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:25,380
So, I don't take that label because if

1085
00:40:25,380 --> 00:40:29,160
something works, it works well, then I would

1086
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:29,980
be for it.

1087
00:40:30,540 --> 00:40:31,900
But we have to be careful.

1088
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,500
For example, they throw out amoxicillin.

1089
00:40:34,580 --> 00:40:35,740
Oh, if you're sick, take amoxicillin.

1090
00:40:35,820 --> 00:40:36,940
If you're sick, take amoxicillin.

1091
00:40:37,260 --> 00:40:44,220
Well, antibiotics actually that word antibiotic against life.

1092
00:40:44,340 --> 00:40:46,680
They kill all your good microbiome.

1093
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,220
So, by putting all of our kids always

1094
00:40:49,220 --> 00:40:53,300
on antibiotics, we're actually doing a lot of

1095
00:40:53,300 --> 00:40:55,760
damage to their gut bacteria, to their immune

1096
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:56,080
system.

1097
00:40:56,180 --> 00:40:57,560
It kills everything good as well.

1098
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,640
However, I believe that there can be a

1099
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,420
time and a place for these things.

1100
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,240
But what they do is they just throw

1101
00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:04,640
the baby out with the bath water.

1102
00:41:04,740 --> 00:41:05,220
Think about this.

1103
00:41:05,260 --> 00:41:06,200
You go to a physician.

1104
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,920
Doctor, I've got high cholesterol.

1105
00:41:09,900 --> 00:41:10,720
High cholesterol.

1106
00:41:11,260 --> 00:41:13,240
Well, you better get on this statin drug

1107
00:41:13,240 --> 00:41:15,700
that tells your liver to stop producing cholesterol.

1108
00:41:16,060 --> 00:41:17,040
Not a good idea.

1109
00:41:17,420 --> 00:41:18,240
Not a good idea.

1110
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,120
It might be for some very few people.

1111
00:41:20,580 --> 00:41:22,860
The best idea is to change your diet

1112
00:41:22,860 --> 00:41:25,800
completely around and get out, start working, lose

1113
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,120
some of that weight, and let your cholesterol

1114
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:29,740
level get to a normal level.

1115
00:41:30,180 --> 00:41:31,860
And I'm a fan that I don't think

1116
00:41:31,860 --> 00:41:34,540
the big problem is cholesterol, HDL, LDL levels

1117
00:41:34,540 --> 00:41:35,280
and all those things.

1118
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:36,760
I believe we're missing it.

1119
00:41:36,860 --> 00:41:39,260
I believe we're eating poisonous food that is

1120
00:41:39,260 --> 00:41:41,840
causing trouble in our body.

1121
00:41:41,940 --> 00:41:42,720
That's the real issue.

1122
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,420
And if you're interested, I talk more about

1123
00:41:44,420 --> 00:41:47,040
that in my book, Feasting and Fasting at

1124
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,660
shaneidleman.com Feasting and Fasting.

1125
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,500
You can download it for free.

1126
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,040
Some of those links charge, but some of

1127
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,020
those links are free.

1128
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:56,860
I'm not trying to sell anything.

1129
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,320
I'm trying to give you a free resource

1130
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,580
that will help you understand a lot of

1131
00:42:00,580 --> 00:42:02,320
these dynamics on how the body works.

1132
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,140
And a friend of mine, Dr. Daniel Pompa,

1133
00:42:05,180 --> 00:42:06,420
said this about vaccines.

1134
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:08,100
And it's right on the money.

1135
00:42:08,620 --> 00:42:12,320
Vaccines actually stimulate the wrong immune system.

1136
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:17,440
The Th1, capital T, lowercase h1, the Th1

1137
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,380
response is a lifetime immunity.

1138
00:42:20,620 --> 00:42:23,280
So, when I'm attacked by a virus, my

1139
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:28,200
body responds by producing antibodies that fight the

1140
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:28,520
virus.

1141
00:42:28,620 --> 00:42:31,020
And that type of response is, that immune

1142
00:42:31,020 --> 00:42:32,560
response is lifetime.

1143
00:42:33,020 --> 00:42:35,500
But when a vaccine, when the foreign substance

1144
00:42:35,500 --> 00:42:40,620
enters in, then it is called the T2

1145
00:42:40,620 --> 00:42:45,620
response, and that's temporary immunity, which is what

1146
00:42:45,620 --> 00:42:47,500
the vaccine stimulates.

1147
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,000
And that's why you need, have you ever

1148
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,320
heard the term booster shots?

1149
00:42:51,860 --> 00:42:53,260
Well, I just had a shot a year

1150
00:42:53,260 --> 00:42:53,740
ago, too.

1151
00:42:53,860 --> 00:42:55,580
Why do I need a booster shot?

1152
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,740
Because it's a temporary fix.

1153
00:42:57,780 --> 00:43:00,400
And we all know, just research it, the

1154
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:01,200
flu vaccine.

1155
00:43:01,740 --> 00:43:03,020
People still get sick.

1156
00:43:03,100 --> 00:43:03,880
They still get the flu.

1157
00:43:04,420 --> 00:43:06,320
I like what Dr. Fauci said.

1158
00:43:06,380 --> 00:43:08,720
He told Congress a few months ago, there's

1159
00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:11,760
no guarantee that the vaccine is actually going

1160
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:12,480
to be effective.

1161
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:14,840
There's no guarantee.

1162
00:43:15,660 --> 00:43:16,620
So why are we doing it?

1163
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:18,720
Because there is an ulterior motives and there

1164
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:19,360
is an agenda.

1165
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:20,860
It's profit driven.

1166
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,220
I'm going to talk briefly about, I'm going

1167
00:43:25,220 --> 00:43:26,600
to close, not close, but I'm going to

1168
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,040
get off this topic of vaccines by quoting

1169
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,680
Dr. Lawrence Palavisky, MD.

1170
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,640
He reported that two of the known major

1171
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:40,060
ingredients in the HPV vaccine are aluminum and

1172
00:43:41,060 --> 00:43:44,380
polysorbate 80, also known as tween 80.

1173
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,640
Aluminum is a neurotoxin and a cellular toxin.

1174
00:43:49,420 --> 00:43:53,080
Neurotoxin means it's toxic to the neurological system.

1175
00:43:53,500 --> 00:43:56,160
A cellular toxin means it's toxic to your

1176
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:56,580
cells.

1177
00:43:56,940 --> 00:43:58,760
These are known toxins.

1178
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,240
Aluminum is, and we're putting it in the

1179
00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:01,660
vaccine.

1180
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,140
Not only that, it breaks a BBB barrier.

1181
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:04,920
Do you know what that is?

1182
00:44:05,180 --> 00:44:08,720
The blood brain barrier, I'm sorry, too many

1183
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:10,980
B's, blood brain barrier.

1184
00:44:11,460 --> 00:44:13,280
So in your brain, you have a barrier

1185
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,800
that the blood does not allow certain things

1186
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:16,540
into the brain.

1187
00:44:16,860 --> 00:44:18,880
It'll allow ketone bodies for fuel.

1188
00:44:19,020 --> 00:44:20,440
It'll allow glucose for fuel.

1189
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,920
It'll allow amino acids into the brain.

1190
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,000
But it blocks the blood brain barrier, blocks

1191
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,720
toxins from going into the brain.

1192
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,580
But some of these things, the way they're

1193
00:44:29,580 --> 00:44:33,040
developing them, will break the blood brain barrier

1194
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,840
and then you have aluminum in your brain.

1195
00:44:36,140 --> 00:44:37,580
And that's what I believe is leading to

1196
00:44:37,580 --> 00:44:39,020
a lot of the Alzheimer's, a lot of

1197
00:44:39,020 --> 00:44:42,660
the deficiencies, neuromuscular diseases that we're seeing are

1198
00:44:42,660 --> 00:44:45,580
because of these toxins getting into the brain.

1199
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,500
And they're very hard to remove once they

1200
00:44:48,500 --> 00:44:49,000
do that.

1201
00:44:50,580 --> 00:44:54,880
So he said aluminum, the neurotoxin, binds pretty

1202
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,080
tightly to the polysorbate 80.

1203
00:44:57,260 --> 00:44:59,320
That's why they put the stuff in the

1204
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,580
vaccine because it's the delivery system.

1205
00:45:01,860 --> 00:45:07,020
It's a mechanism to get the virus into

1206
00:45:07,020 --> 00:45:09,380
the cell so the cell can produce immunity.

1207
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,340
I know I'm taking a rabbit trail, trust

1208
00:45:11,340 --> 00:45:12,180
me, I'm going somewhere.

1209
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:13,760
Some of you will like this, some of

1210
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:14,640
you won't, that's okay.

1211
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:20,000
Pharmaceutical companies utilize polysorbate 80 in their drug

1212
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,420
manufacturing to help with the transmission of the

1213
00:45:23,420 --> 00:45:26,560
pharmaceuticals across the blood brain barrier.

1214
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:28,660
And I don't know if I mentioned this,

1215
00:45:28,780 --> 00:45:32,340
but the polysorbate 80 is actually an emulsifier.

1216
00:45:32,500 --> 00:45:35,660
Emulsifier is a thickening agent and it binds

1217
00:45:35,660 --> 00:45:36,480
with the aluminum.

1218
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,440
So that's why there's danger.

1219
00:45:38,700 --> 00:45:40,840
And he records here how this leads to

1220
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:45,920
fainting, to seizures, and to neurological problems that

1221
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,080
are reported by teenage girls.

1222
00:45:49,380 --> 00:45:49,800
Why?

1223
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,640
It's because of these vaccines that they're taking.

1224
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:54,760
And so we have to be very careful.

1225
00:45:54,940 --> 00:45:58,160
Do your own research from a non bias

1226
00:45:58,160 --> 00:45:59,460
party, okay?

1227
00:45:59,780 --> 00:46:03,640
Don't look at what the producer of the

1228
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,480
vaccines say about this.

1229
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:06,720
This is what cracks me up about people.

1230
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:08,240
They say to me, look, look, look what

1231
00:46:08,240 --> 00:46:10,520
the CDC says, it's good, the vaccine's great,

1232
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:11,600
look what Dr. Fauci says.

1233
00:46:11,940 --> 00:46:14,480
Yeah, but look at a non biased person.

1234
00:46:15,060 --> 00:46:17,000
You have to ask someone who doesn't have

1235
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,200
a vested interest in what they're promoting.

1236
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,840
It would be like asking a real estate

1237
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,900
agent if you should sell your house.

1238
00:46:25,780 --> 00:46:26,180
Okay?

1239
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:27,220
You get the picture here?

1240
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,660
All real estate agents will say, yes, time

1241
00:46:30,660 --> 00:46:31,340
to sell your house.

1242
00:46:31,420 --> 00:46:31,540
Why?

1243
00:46:31,660 --> 00:46:32,820
There's a vested interest.

1244
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:34,380
Same thing in this area.

1245
00:46:34,540 --> 00:46:36,020
So that was my rant.

1246
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:37,380
It was probably, I don't know, a 10

1247
00:46:37,380 --> 00:46:38,700
minute rant on that, but I think it

1248
00:46:38,700 --> 00:46:40,080
answers a lot of those questions out there.

1249
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,200
And then the next topic, so watch out

1250
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:42,800
for vaccines.

1251
00:46:42,940 --> 00:46:43,540
Be prepared.

1252
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,040
Don't get crazy about it.

1253
00:46:45,100 --> 00:46:45,540
Don't worry.

1254
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:46,720
It's not like if you take a vaccine

1255
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:48,240
for work, oh no, now I have the

1256
00:46:48,240 --> 00:46:48,840
mark of the beast.

1257
00:46:49,100 --> 00:46:50,420
No, that's not going to happen.

1258
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:53,400
The great tribulation.

1259
00:46:54,420 --> 00:46:55,820
Matthew 24, 15.

1260
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,380
Therefore, when you see the abomination of desolation

1261
00:46:58,380 --> 00:47:01,320
spoken by the Daniel, the prophet, standing in

1262
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,720
the holy place, reader, whoever reads this, let

1263
00:47:04,720 --> 00:47:05,420
him understand.

1264
00:47:05,540 --> 00:47:07,240
Let those who are in Judea flee to

1265
00:47:07,240 --> 00:47:07,640
the mountains.

1266
00:47:07,720 --> 00:47:09,660
Let those on the housetops do not go

1267
00:47:09,660 --> 00:47:10,760
down and take anything.

1268
00:47:11,620 --> 00:47:12,880
And those who are in the field, do

1269
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,900
not go back for their clothes, but woe

1270
00:47:14,900 --> 00:47:16,680
to those who are pregnant and those who

1271
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,920
are nursing babies in those days.

1272
00:47:19,060 --> 00:47:21,820
So the great tribulation, we could spend a

1273
00:47:21,820 --> 00:47:24,400
month here looking at Revelation and Matthew 24

1274
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:24,720
here.

1275
00:47:25,180 --> 00:47:27,800
Some people say this is when Titus conquered

1276
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,920
Jerusalem in 70 AD because some of this

1277
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,160
does fit here, talking about the Sabbath.

1278
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,480
He's talking about Judea specifically, not the whole

1279
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:35,880
world.

1280
00:47:36,300 --> 00:47:37,960
And so there's some interesting things there.

1281
00:47:40,020 --> 00:47:41,860
Verse 21, For then there will be great

1282
00:47:41,860 --> 00:47:45,280
tribulation such as not been since the beginning

1283
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:49,000
of the world until this time, no, nor

1284
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:50,720
ever shall there be.

1285
00:47:50,860 --> 00:47:52,580
So that's why it's hard for me because

1286
00:47:52,580 --> 00:47:54,720
of that wording to think this happened in

1287
00:47:54,720 --> 00:47:57,660
AD 70 because what he's describing and going

1288
00:47:57,660 --> 00:48:00,000
to go on to describe and what Revelation

1289
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,600
describes is cataclysmic.

1290
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,060
It is massive on a massive scale.

1291
00:48:05,260 --> 00:48:07,880
He actually says, unless those days were shortened,

1292
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:09,420
no flesh would be saved.

1293
00:48:09,540 --> 00:48:12,760
But for the elect's sake, those days will

1294
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:13,520
be shortened.

1295
00:48:13,940 --> 00:48:15,740
Then if anyone says to you, look, here's

1296
00:48:15,740 --> 00:48:18,700
the Christ or there, do not believe it.

1297
00:48:18,860 --> 00:48:20,700
Jesus said, hey, there's Jesus over there.

1298
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:21,800
Jesus is over here.

1299
00:48:22,060 --> 00:48:22,960
He's over in Florida.

1300
00:48:23,300 --> 00:48:24,440
He's over in Texas.

1301
00:48:24,620 --> 00:48:26,860
He's breaking out revival in northern California.

1302
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:27,660
Jesus has come.

1303
00:48:27,780 --> 00:48:29,400
Jesus says, no, don't believe any of them.

1304
00:48:29,540 --> 00:48:32,580
He said, as the lightning shoots across the

1305
00:48:32,580 --> 00:48:34,900
sky, so you will know the Son of

1306
00:48:34,900 --> 00:48:35,480
Man is coming.

1307
00:48:35,740 --> 00:48:39,000
The thunder, the lightning, the presence, the power,

1308
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,860
the trumpet of Christ coming.

1309
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,560
There will be no mistake that He is

1310
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:44,040
returning.

1311
00:48:46,540 --> 00:48:48,240
And He says, see, I've told you beforehand.

1312
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,020
So, the great tribulation in Matthew 24 and

1313
00:48:52,020 --> 00:48:57,960
in Revelation is a time of God pouring

1314
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:02,480
out His wrath on a rejected world who

1315
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:03,400
has rejected Him.

1316
00:49:03,780 --> 00:49:06,780
Like in the days of Noah, that when

1317
00:49:06,780 --> 00:49:09,080
Noah was sealed up and it rained and

1318
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,900
God judges people, you see this wrath of

1319
00:49:11,900 --> 00:49:13,100
God being poured out.

1320
00:49:13,500 --> 00:49:14,800
I don't quite understand it.

1321
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:15,740
I don't understand.

1322
00:49:16,060 --> 00:49:17,840
I have a lot of questions, but I

1323
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:19,660
do know that God is good and God

1324
00:49:19,660 --> 00:49:22,840
is just and that God will judge those

1325
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:23,780
who reject Him.

1326
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,880
So if you're listening today, make that decision

1327
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,540
today to no longer keep rejecting Him.

1328
00:49:29,820 --> 00:49:32,120
To repent and believe in the Gospel and

1329
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:33,800
avoid the wrath that is to come.

1330
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:34,700
That's biblical.

1331
00:49:35,340 --> 00:49:35,880
That's biblical.

1332
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,260
I wonder if God is shutting down.

1333
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:39,920
I wonder if God is shutting down a

1334
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:41,800
lot of these churches because they won't tell

1335
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:42,800
people the truth.

1336
00:49:43,020 --> 00:49:44,520
That there is a judgment coming.

1337
00:49:44,860 --> 00:49:47,280
They won't mention the cross and repentance and

1338
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:47,960
the hard things.

1339
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:49,080
I wonder if God says, you know what,

1340
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:50,100
enough is enough.

1341
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,260
My word needs to go out and it

1342
00:49:52,260 --> 00:49:54,180
needs to be preached in its totality.

1343
00:49:56,370 --> 00:49:57,730
So I'm going to leave you with some

1344
00:49:57,730 --> 00:49:58,750
encouraging things.

1345
00:49:59,850 --> 00:50:01,390
This is how we get grounded.

1346
00:50:01,870 --> 00:50:03,330
So if you're like, well, Shane, I don't

1347
00:50:03,330 --> 00:50:03,950
know what to do.

1348
00:50:04,010 --> 00:50:04,990
What do I do with all this?

1349
00:50:05,050 --> 00:50:05,950
Well, here's what we do know.

1350
00:50:06,030 --> 00:50:07,670
Number one, God is sovereign.

1351
00:50:08,130 --> 00:50:08,990
God is sovereign.

1352
00:50:09,110 --> 00:50:11,870
Romans 8.28 And we know that all

1353
00:50:11,870 --> 00:50:14,350
things work together for good to those who

1354
00:50:14,350 --> 00:50:17,210
love God and those who are called according

1355
00:50:17,210 --> 00:50:17,890
to His purpose.

1356
00:50:18,270 --> 00:50:20,010
So when you lay down your head tonight,

1357
00:50:20,290 --> 00:50:23,670
lay down your head on knowing that God

1358
00:50:23,670 --> 00:50:24,270
is sovereign.

1359
00:50:24,650 --> 00:50:26,170
Look to His Word before you go to

1360
00:50:26,170 --> 00:50:26,310
bed.

1361
00:50:26,370 --> 00:50:27,010
Not the media.

1362
00:50:27,110 --> 00:50:30,230
If you read the media, a thousand deaths

1363
00:50:30,230 --> 00:50:31,010
in one day.

1364
00:50:31,750 --> 00:50:33,150
Texas is closing down.

1365
00:50:33,770 --> 00:50:35,710
Maine and Massachusetts and California.

1366
00:50:36,350 --> 00:50:38,710
It's all this doom and gloom and no

1367
00:50:38,710 --> 00:50:40,310
wonder there's fear and anxiety.

1368
00:50:40,390 --> 00:50:41,170
Don't look to that.

1369
00:50:41,270 --> 00:50:43,010
Look to God's Word and know that God

1370
00:50:43,010 --> 00:50:43,570
is sovereign.

1371
00:50:43,970 --> 00:50:44,950
God is on the throne.

1372
00:50:45,170 --> 00:50:46,990
And then we also, number two, we get

1373
00:50:46,990 --> 00:50:49,750
grounded by realizing that the second coming of

1374
00:50:49,750 --> 00:50:51,750
Jesus Christ is coming.

1375
00:50:51,910 --> 00:50:53,730
The day of the Lord, Peter said, will

1376
00:50:53,730 --> 00:50:55,470
come like a thief in the night.

1377
00:50:55,810 --> 00:50:59,630
The heavens will pass away and the heavens

1378
00:50:59,630 --> 00:51:01,190
will pass away with a roar.

1379
00:51:01,590 --> 00:51:03,250
And the heavenly bodies will be burned up

1380
00:51:03,250 --> 00:51:05,250
and dissolved in the earth and the works

1381
00:51:05,250 --> 00:51:07,070
that are done will be exposed.

1382
00:51:07,690 --> 00:51:09,230
So Jesus is coming.

1383
00:51:09,390 --> 00:51:11,110
King Jesus is returning.

1384
00:51:11,390 --> 00:51:12,710
He is still on the throne.

1385
00:51:12,990 --> 00:51:14,530
He has not relinquished power.

1386
00:51:14,630 --> 00:51:16,070
He has not relinquished control.

1387
00:51:17,250 --> 00:51:20,290
And number three, there is a resurrection from

1388
00:51:20,290 --> 00:51:22,070
the dead and a future judgment.

1389
00:51:22,210 --> 00:51:23,690
Revelation talks about this.

1390
00:51:24,730 --> 00:51:27,710
Revelation 20, then I saw a great white

1391
00:51:27,710 --> 00:51:30,170
throne and Him who seated on it.

1392
00:51:30,490 --> 00:51:32,250
And I saw the dead, great and small,

1393
00:51:32,410 --> 00:51:34,450
standing before the throne and the books were

1394
00:51:34,450 --> 00:51:36,870
open and they were judged by what was

1395
00:51:36,870 --> 00:51:40,450
written in the books according to what they

1396
00:51:40,450 --> 00:51:41,850
had done.

1397
00:51:42,070 --> 00:51:43,770
And the sea gave up the dead.

1398
00:51:44,970 --> 00:51:46,710
Death and Hades gave up the dead.

1399
00:51:47,630 --> 00:51:49,670
And they were judged, each one of them,

1400
00:51:49,810 --> 00:51:52,830
according to what they had done.

1401
00:51:53,070 --> 00:51:56,530
Now, we don't teach a works-based religion.

1402
00:51:56,750 --> 00:51:58,790
God is not going to say look at

1403
00:51:58,790 --> 00:52:01,490
all these things you did that were evil.

1404
00:52:02,010 --> 00:52:03,290
And look at all these things that you

1405
00:52:03,290 --> 00:52:04,770
did that were good.

1406
00:52:05,030 --> 00:52:06,830
And I guess you can go in because

1407
00:52:06,830 --> 00:52:08,210
the good outweighs the bad.

1408
00:52:08,290 --> 00:52:09,510
That's what many people believe.

1409
00:52:09,830 --> 00:52:12,950
What He's saying here, their deeds will be

1410
00:52:12,950 --> 00:52:15,510
judged, meaning if you have the fire of

1411
00:52:15,510 --> 00:52:17,750
God in you and Jesus Christ has changed

1412
00:52:17,750 --> 00:52:19,590
you and there's fruit in your life, your

1413
00:52:19,590 --> 00:52:21,050
deeds will bear that out.

1414
00:52:21,210 --> 00:52:23,190
Show me your faith by your works.

1415
00:52:23,270 --> 00:52:23,950
They go together.

1416
00:52:24,230 --> 00:52:26,730
We're not saved because of good works, but

1417
00:52:26,730 --> 00:52:28,710
good works are an outflow of a heart

1418
00:52:28,710 --> 00:52:29,450
that's been changed.

1419
00:52:29,670 --> 00:52:31,730
So our works that we have done in

1420
00:52:31,730 --> 00:52:34,750
Jesus Christ will reveal who is our Master.

1421
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,160
And I like what John said in 3

1422
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,660
.18. Whoever believes in Him, you need to

1423
00:52:41,660 --> 00:52:44,500
understand this, whoever believes in Him is not

1424
00:52:44,500 --> 00:52:45,100
condemned.

1425
00:52:45,860 --> 00:52:49,300
But whoever does not believe is condemned already.

1426
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,020
If you're listening now, some of you have

1427
00:52:52,020 --> 00:52:53,320
a death sentence.

1428
00:52:53,980 --> 00:52:55,360
You are on death row.

1429
00:52:55,700 --> 00:52:56,900
Dead man walking.

1430
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:58,100
Dead man living.

1431
00:52:58,440 --> 00:52:59,320
You are condemned.

1432
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,960
You are under the wrath and judgment of

1433
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:03,580
God right there where you sit.

1434
00:53:03,820 --> 00:53:05,600
But thank God for the cross of Jesus

1435
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,500
Christ because He said, whoever believes in Me

1436
00:53:08,500 --> 00:53:09,340
is not condemned.

1437
00:53:09,900 --> 00:53:11,860
Whoever believes on the cross that I died

1438
00:53:11,860 --> 00:53:13,600
for your sin, you are not condemned.

1439
00:53:13,780 --> 00:53:15,920
You will have eternal life, but whoever does

1440
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:17,780
not believe is condemned already.

1441
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:19,940
The judgment has already been sent.

1442
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,180
The fate has already been sealed.

1443
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,980
If you continue to walk in that deadness,

1444
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:27,460
there is a judgment coming.

1445
00:53:27,940 --> 00:53:29,120
So the Bible says, turn.

1446
00:53:29,300 --> 00:53:31,020
Turn to God with all your heart.

1447
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,600
Repent of your sin and embrace what Jesus

1448
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,480
Christ has done for you.

1449
00:53:38,860 --> 00:53:40,220
And I want to ask, how long will

1450
00:53:40,220 --> 00:53:41,540
you hold on to your pride?

1451
00:53:42,740 --> 00:53:44,900
How long will you hold on to your

1452
00:53:44,900 --> 00:53:45,160
pride?

1453
00:53:46,340 --> 00:53:48,240
If God is working in your heart, if

1454
00:53:48,240 --> 00:53:50,500
God is convicting you, how long will you

1455
00:53:50,500 --> 00:53:51,620
hold on to your pride?

1456
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:53,620
And challenge God.

1457
00:53:54,100 --> 00:53:55,660
Challenge the inerrancy of Scripture.

1458
00:53:56,240 --> 00:54:00,700
Challenge that Jesus was an actual historical figure

1459
00:54:00,700 --> 00:54:02,960
that came, died on a cross, lived a

1460
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,360
sinless life for your life and my life,

1461
00:54:05,420 --> 00:54:06,640
my eternal life and your life.

1462
00:54:07,020 --> 00:54:09,100
How long will you allow pride?

1463
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:11,440
How long will you allow pride to keep

1464
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:12,440
you from heaven?

1465
00:54:13,620 --> 00:54:15,480
That's the one thing that keeps man out

1466
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:15,820
of heaven.

1467
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:16,500
It's pride.

1468
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,780
Pride and arrogance saying, I want my own

1469
00:54:19,780 --> 00:54:20,260
way.

1470
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,940
And I just ask you, I pray, I

1471
00:54:22,940 --> 00:54:26,080
plead with you, repent and accept Jesus Christ

1472
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:26,840
into your life.
