1
00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:14,200
Good morning. 
Let's pray. 

2
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,000
One more time and I slow to help
us as we open up his word 

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,200
together. 
Father, we thank you. 

4
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:26,900
That we have victory in your 
son. 

5
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,700
And Lord in this place, we want 
to sense that Victory not just 

6
00:00:31,700 --> 00:00:37,900
in the emotions, the Lord in the
spirit, in the fruit of Our 

7
00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:40,600
Lives. 
Lord, thank you. 

8
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,600
That you have been faithful to 
us. 

9
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,000
You have been good to each of us
in this place. 

10
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,900
Regardless of what we are facing
today, we can look back and 

11
00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:54,600
realize what you have done, we 
will conclude you are good 

12
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,900
always and if you've been good 
to us up to this point, you will

13
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:01,800
be good to us now. 
And until we see you face to 

14
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,600
face. 
Thank you. 

15
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,200
Lord. 
That in this house. 

16
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,400
There is no Famine of the word 
but a feast That we can eat 

17
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,900
together and that you are 
faithful. 

18
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:15,900
Providing bread from heaven. 
We ask Lord that. 

19
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:20,600
This word would come in power, 
in the power of the Holy Spirit.

20
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:23,000
Lord. 
We know that power does not come

21
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
from volume power. 
Does not come from your 

22
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,800
intellect or eloquence it comes 
from your spirit. 

23
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:33,400
And we ask that the Holy Spirit 
would glorify Christ through 

24
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,600
this message and that glorify 
Christ through our obedience We 

25
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,000
come to you now with submissive 
Hearts, inattentive Minds in 

26
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,300
Jesus name, we pray. 
Amen. 

27
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:48,600
And I'm in, I'm sure you would 
agree that the events of 2020 

28
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,200
Has taught the church, the 
capital c Church. 

29
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,300
Many lessons about many things. 
An interesting observation that 

30
00:01:57,300 --> 00:02:00,200
I've made about many local 
churches and response to this 

31
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:06,700
Unforgettable year was this 
launched into many conversations

32
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:10,400
and even sermon series around 
the end times. 

33
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:14,700
Calmly from The Book of 
Revelation and you have 

34
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:17,200
different Ministries and 
congregations that did not 

35
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,900
hesitate to investigate the word
of God to try to make sense of 

36
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:25,400
what's happening on the Earth. 
Today things that we have been 

37
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:29,500
facing things that we are still 
facing and from time to time I 

38
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:33,400
believe that it is good for the 
soul to be able to see what's 

39
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,400
happening especially on a global
scale. 

40
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,000
And then come to the word of God
to try to find a way to 

41
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,900
interpret it from his 
perspective. 

42
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:45,500
Now, I'm not talking about 
cracking hidden codes, and every

43
00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:48,100
news headline, you try to find a
prophetic, passage that it 

44
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:51,900
fulfills, that's dangerous. 
But what I am saying is about 

45
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:55,900
being open. 
And actually having a reflex to 

46
00:02:55,900 --> 00:03:00,200
come to the scriptures and to 
allow what we witness before us 

47
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,700
to nudge us and remind us what 
God has to say concerning 

48
00:03:04,700 --> 00:03:08,500
certain themes and truths found 
in the scriptures for what 

49
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:11,800
purpose to sanctify us to 
sanctify us. 

50
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,700
Let me give you an example the 
world coming together in 2022. 

51
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,600
Battle against this covid thing.
Raise the antennas of many 

52
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,600
Believers to point to the coming
reality of the Book of 

53
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,200
Revelation, that speaks of a new
world order that's in the Bible.

54
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,000
That's not conspiracy theory 
that the world will come 

55
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,900
together. 
There will be a new system, 

56
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,500
there will be a new leader that 
will guide the world into false 

57
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:42,400
peace and what we've seen in 
2020, we've never seen in world 

58
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,800
history before and that's the 
world collaborating and working 

59
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,900
together for fulfilling specific
goals. 

60
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:52,300
Or The Masks. 
That's another thing to write 

61
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,200
the mass mandates, were you have
to do something? 

62
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,000
You have to wear something in 
order to be a candidate for 

63
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,700
business basic services and 
society, that that points to 

64
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:06,900
that pulls us towards what will 
be a reality under the universal

65
00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:09,200
Mandate of the mark of the 
beast? 

66
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,600
I'm not saying the mask or the 
vaccine have anything to do with

67
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,400
what we see in Revelation, but I
will say this confidently, we 

68
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,700
have been in a dress rehearsal. 
We have been. 

69
00:04:21,100 --> 00:04:26,700
And 2020 didn't stop with 20 21,
because as we've leaked into 

70
00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:29,100
this year, there have been many 
other Global events that have 

71
00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:31,900
immersed that have captivated 
the world's attention and 

72
00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:34,900
stirred emotions of fresh. 
And one of those things is the 

73
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:38,200
ever sensitive subject of the 
israeli-palestinian conflict. 

74
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,100
And throughout the years, 
whenever breaking news of a 

75
00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:48,200
fresh scrimmage between Israel 
and Palestine erupts, you have 

76
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,500
many that will point to it. 
As a sign that this is the red 

77
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:53,100
carpet that will usher in the 
tribulation period. 

78
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,300
And I don't think that's 
necessary because the only issue

79
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,800
with that is that there's always
been conflict ever since Israel 

80
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,000
has been a nation from the Bible
and even in modern history. 

81
00:05:07,300 --> 00:05:11,300
Nevertheless I believe that it 
is crucial that the believing 

82
00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:16,000
Community, understands the 
spiritual implications of the 

83
00:05:16,008 --> 00:05:19,600
reality of Israel's existence 
today. 

84
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,600
And I think that what's been 
happening lately provides a good

85
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,700
opportunity for us to get 
clarity on an important subject 

86
00:05:27,700 --> 00:05:30,400
in the word of God. 
And I want us to turn there in 

87
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:40,400
Romans 11:25, please. 
And if you're scared that, I'm 

88
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,600
going to be preaching politics, 
don't be scared. 

89
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,800
It's going to be Bible and then 
you can do with the Bible, what 

90
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,800
you want. 
I just advise that you obey it. 

91
00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:56,700
Romans 11 chapter, 25, read with
me, hear what Paul says to this 

92
00:05:56,700 --> 00:05:58,500
church and to all churches for 
all ages. 

93
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:03,400
Lest you be wise in your own 
site. 

94
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:08,100
I do not want you to be unaware 
of this mystery Brothers. 

95
00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:13,900
A partial hardening has come 
upon Israel until the fullness 

96
00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:18,800
of the Gentiles has come in. 
And in this way, all Israel will

97
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,400
be saved as it is written. 
The deliverer will come from 

98
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,800
Zion, he will banish ungodliness
from Jacob, and this will be my 

99
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,900
Covenant with them. 
When I take away their sins, did

100
00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:33,900
you notice the first two phrases
of this verse and chapter 11 

101
00:06:33,900 --> 00:06:37,700
verse 25? 
He says lest you be wise in your

102
00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:41,200
own site. 
I do not want you to be unaware 

103
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,000
of this mystery. 
You know what the holy spirit is

104
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,500
saying, I don't want the 
believing Community to be in the

105
00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:54,400
dark about a certain subject and
the subject that the Holy Spirit

106
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,400
has in mind that this portion of
the word of God is the mystery. 

107
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,700
God's dealing, his Sovereign 
work with the ethnic people of 

108
00:07:02,700 --> 00:07:06,400
Israel. 
You have to do origami with the 

109
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,600
Bible to think that this is 
speaking about a spiritual 

110
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,400
Israel. 
We're talking about the actual 

111
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,100
people, the race. 
And you know what, the holy 

112
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:17,100
spirit is saying. 
I don't want you to be unaware 

113
00:07:17,900 --> 00:07:20,200
and the, the mystery that God 
has in mind, you're 

114
00:07:20,207 --> 00:07:25,200
specifically, is that due to the
rejection of the Messiah, when 

115
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,400
he entered into this world to 
come as their King. 

116
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,900
The Gentiles have received the 
gospel, their rejection became 

117
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:34,700
the open door for the world to 
receive the Gospel. 

118
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:40,700
And then, once the last Gentile 
gives his life to Christ, In 

119
00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:43,700
God's mind, he will seal that 
deal. 

120
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,400
And then his work will return 
back to Israel as a people to do

121
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,900
a saving work in them as a 
nation. 

122
00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:56,400
That's the mystery that's the 
mystery but we can broaden this 

123
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,200
verse to ask ourselves a very 
important question. 

124
00:07:59,900 --> 00:08:04,900
How many Christians today are 
unaware of how Israel relates to

125
00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:08,500
our faith? 
Because he says, I don't want 

126
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:12,200
you to be unaware. 
And he says that into other 

127
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,800
places in the Bible and it's 
quite interesting where he says 

128
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,400
in well, that's for another 
message for another time. 

129
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,300
But here in this place, he says,
I don't want you to be unaware 

130
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,100
misinformed, and then he goes on
to say, lest you be wise in your

131
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:26,300
own site, meaning less. 
You have your own opinion about 

132
00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:28,300
it. 
There are a lot of people have a

133
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:31,600
lot of opinions, What he's 
saying here is I'm pulling you 

134
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,200
into what God has to say about 
this matter. 

135
00:08:34,700 --> 00:08:37,600
And it's important for us to 
understand it because we must 

136
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,900
have a Biblical perspective on 
God's relationship with this 

137
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:43,000
people group not for political 
purposes, but for theological 

138
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,300
ones, The main purpose of this 
message this morning, is not to 

139
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:50,600
answer every question about this
topic because it is too vast, 

140
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,300
but to get a grasp that God's 
word speaks of the future as 

141
00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:59,800
much as it does the past. 
In other words, the Bible is 

142
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,100
very bold to make predictions 
about things. 

143
00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:05,200
Not yet. 
Come to pass very bold. 

144
00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:09,200
And what's amazing is that and 
when you study the Bible 

145
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,400
carefully, you will realize that
much of the prophecies about the

146
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,000
future beyond our day have to do
with Israel. 

147
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,600
You can't deny it. 
And as my pray that through a 

148
00:09:20,608 --> 00:09:25,100
message like this, we will be 
stirred to worship God that God 

149
00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:27,100
would doesn't just tell us what 
has happened in the past. 

150
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:32,400
But what will happen in the days
to come so let us turn to a 

151
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:38,900
prophecy in the Book of Ezekiel,
please and what I want is to do,

152
00:09:38,900 --> 00:09:44,400
here is to just see And use this
recent battle that we've been 

153
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,500
seeing on the news that has 
ceased for some time. 

154
00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:51,800
Now, few days to turn us to 
another battle that the Lord God

155
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,300
will prophesy about in these 
chapters. 

156
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,400
And let me tell you. 
This is Eco 38 and 39. 

157
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,300
I encourage you to read these 
chapters on your own time. 

158
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:04,800
It doesn't take much time and 
you will be greatly encouraged 

159
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,900
to see the details and the 
significance of what is being 

160
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:15,900
said here. 
Ezekiel 38, let's read together 

161
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,600
and I want us to break down this
message. 

162
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,600
And, and three ways who is 
involved, who is involved, when 

163
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,100
will this happen and why will it
happen? 

164
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,500
Very simple, right. 
Let's read a little bit. 

165
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:31,200
First few verses, the word of 
the Lord came to me verse 1. 

166
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,100
Son of man, set your face toward
gog.com land of Magog. 

167
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:40,400
The chief Prince of meshech and 
tubal and prophesy against him 

168
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,000
and say thus says the Lord God, 
behold I am against you Gog, 

169
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,500
Chief Prince of meshech and 
tubal. 

170
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,800
And I will turn you about and 
put hooks into your jaws. 

171
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,400
And I will bring you out and all
your army horses and Horsemen, 

172
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,100
all of them clothes and full 
armor, a great host, all of them

173
00:10:57,100 --> 00:11:02,400
with Buckler and shield wielding
swords Persia cush, and put our 

174
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,300
with them. 
If you have a different 

175
00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:06,600
translation, it would say 
Ethiopia and Libya are with 

176
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,000
them. 
All of them would shield and 

177
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,600
helmet Gomer and all his hordes 
Beth togarmah from the uttermost

178
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,800
parts of the north. 
With all his hordes. 

179
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,700
Many peoples are with you be 
ready. 

180
00:11:18,700 --> 00:11:21,600
And keep ready, you and all your
host that are assembled about 

181
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,200
you and be a guard for them. 
After many days, you will be 

182
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:31,000
mustered in the latter years. 
That's an important phrase in 

183
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,300
the latter years. 
You will go against the land 

184
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,400
that is restored from war. 
The land whose people were 

185
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,800
gathered from many people's upon
the mountains of Israel, which 

186
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,400
has been a continual waste. 
Its people were brought out from

187
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,500
the peoples and now dwell 
securely all of them. 

188
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,300
All of them. 
The Lord tells Ezekiel hundreds 

189
00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:01,800
of years before our time to 
prophesy against an individual 

190
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,000
named GOG. 
He is according to these verses,

191
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,900
the chief Prince and one, who 
rules the land of Magog and 

192
00:12:09,900 --> 00:12:12,700
different regions around that 
area called Michigan to bomb. 

193
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,500
Now, we learned that other 
nations are in partnership with 

194
00:12:16,500 --> 00:12:19,800
GOG. 
And the list is more 

195
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:24,200
identifiable than him and his 
region again some transition 

196
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,800
Persia, right? 
That's modern-day what Iran you 

197
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,800
have Libya, you have Ethiopia, 
some would say, that's 

198
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,900
modern-day Sudan. 
And so we see that there is an 

199
00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:36,800
alliance being made here and 
what's important is that the 

200
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,300
alliance the nation's that are 
aligned with him are Islamic 

201
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:42,500
background. 
They are Muslim countries mainly

202
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,400
and they're in partnership with 
this mysterious figure named Gog

203
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,900
from Magog. 
And you can imagine that over 

204
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:53,600
the centuries how God and Magog 
has caused much a debate between

205
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,800
Scholars to try to identify him.
But this may surprise you that 

206
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,800
one clue that has left many 
people to identify Gog and Magog

207
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,000
as modern day Russia. 
Comes from what we see in verse 

208
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,700
15. 
In Ezekiel 38, you will come 

209
00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:13,100
from your place out of the 
uttermost parts of the North. 

210
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:17,600
You and many peoples with you. 
All of them riding on horses, a 

211
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,400
great horse, a mighty Army. 
So they would say, well if 

212
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,900
Israel as we know it today is 
the central point of Direction. 

213
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,600
Then if you, if you go, north 
directly, check it out on Google

214
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,000
Maps where you going to land 
Russia. 

215
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:35,200
That's why many people hold to 
that view, and they would also 

216
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,700
include Southern parts of Russia
and even turkey itself. 

217
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,000
Now, we can't be safe with that 
because the Bible is not clear 

218
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,600
and that's just speculation. 
Son little clues that we can't 

219
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,200
be dogmatic about, but I think 
the idea the fact that God and 

220
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,400
Magog are mysterious. 
People actually is to our 

221
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,700
benefit to the authenticity of 
this prophecy. 

222
00:13:58,300 --> 00:14:01,400
Why? 
What are some of the ancient 

223
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:06,300
enemies to Israel is known in 
the word of God Egypt Assyria? 

224
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,100
Babylon, right? 
The amalekites the Canaanites. 

225
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,100
But there is no record. 
There is no history. 

226
00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:17,100
I mean, just look it up in your 
word and you'll see that there 

227
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:20,200
is no correlation. 
There's no relationship between 

228
00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:23,000
God and may God ever up to this 
point. 

229
00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:28,600
There's no type of friction, 
there's no type of record of a 

230
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,500
battle between them. 
And that is quite interesting. 

231
00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:35,000
The only place mentioned may God
is in Genesis 10, and that has 

232
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,100
to do with an individual, which 
means something quite 

233
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:42,200
fascinating, doesn't it that 
this prophecy speaks of a battle

234
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:47,100
led by a new previously, unknown
people that will become an enemy

235
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:54,100
to Israel from the distant North
And the players of this war, 

236
00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:56,900
don't end there, come down with 
me here to verse 13. 

237
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:02,100
Sheba and dedan and the 
merchants of tarshish and all 

238
00:15:02,100 --> 00:15:06,400
its leaders will say to you. 
So say to God, these other 

239
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,500
nations will say, have you come 
to cease spoil? 

240
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,900
Have you assembled your host to 
carry off plunder to carry away,

241
00:15:14,900 --> 00:15:19,400
silver and gold to take away 
livestock and goods to see these

242
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,800
great spoil. 
So now you have different people

243
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,000
groups. 
That are not in participation 

244
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,600
with this war. 
But what are they doing? 

245
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:31,000
They are realizing, what's about
to take place and they are in 

246
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,700
favor of it? 
And they're wondering that this 

247
00:15:34,700 --> 00:15:38,300
battle will actually be to their
personal gain as Leaders of 

248
00:15:38,300 --> 00:15:41,500
Nations that they will profit 
from this plunder themselves. 

249
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,300
And so what you have is beyond 
this Alliance, you have people 

250
00:15:45,300 --> 00:15:48,500
outside of that nation's beyond 
that that are cheering this 

251
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:52,100
Invasion on and they're saying 
go for it. 

252
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:59,200
Rent, suck them. 
Take over you saying, what's so 

253
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,300
significant about that? 
Because it's becoming very clear

254
00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:06,100
in this prophecy that at this 
point in history you will have 

255
00:16:06,100 --> 00:16:09,300
Nations that will not be 
hesitant to speak against this 

256
00:16:09,300 --> 00:16:12,900
people and even come against 
this people while nobody seems 

257
00:16:12,900 --> 00:16:17,500
to be standing with them. you 
read this prophecy in your 

258
00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:20,700
realize that nobody comes to 
their defense, nobody comes to 

259
00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:24,200
back them up and it's describing
a hopeless scene for Israel, 

260
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:30,500
really Nations will not be 
hesitant There will be plans and

261
00:16:30,500 --> 00:16:35,000
there will be a partnership 
amongst many to say, let's come 

262
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,600
against them. 
And how will it look at verse 9?

263
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,000
You will advance coming on. 
Like a storm. 

264
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,500
You will be like a cloud 
covering the land, you and all 

265
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:48,200
your hordes and many people with
you. 

266
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,600
This confederation of armies 
will come like a storm. 

267
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:55,700
It will be quick, it will be 
executed fast. 

268
00:16:55,700 --> 00:16:59,300
It will be an invasion that will
catch the World by surprise 

269
00:16:59,300 --> 00:17:00,700
almost. 
That's why they're asking like 

270
00:17:00,708 --> 00:17:02,100
what are you guys doing? 
Are you guys going live? 

271
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,400
Go for it. 
And they will be so 

272
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,099
overwhelming. 
This is not a small thing, it 

273
00:17:08,099 --> 00:17:12,000
will be so overwhelming that it 
will cause all the witnesses of 

274
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,400
the Earth at this time to say 
they're finished. 

275
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:20,700
They're finished. 
And so realize that this is 

276
00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:24,599
speaking about an event that has
not taken place yet. 

277
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:29,100
It hasn't taken place in the 
history books yet it's yet to 

278
00:17:29,100 --> 00:17:32,700
come. 
It's yet to happen which brings 

279
00:17:32,700 --> 00:17:35,100
us to our next point. 
When will this happen? 

280
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,000
I'm sure that's what most people
are curious about when it comes 

281
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,700
to Prophecy in the Bible when 
when when and there are some 

282
00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:44,800
elements that are disputed and 
some that are undeniable and the

283
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,600
undeniable element here is found
in verse 8. 

284
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:54,600
After many days, you will be 
mustard, In the latter years in 

285
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,200
the latter years. 
Now, go to verse 16 of the same 

286
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,400
chapter, you will come against 
up against my People, Israel, 

287
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,900
like, a cloud covering a land in
the latter. 

288
00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:09,900
What days? 
Now, if you interpret the Bible 

289
00:18:09,900 --> 00:18:14,200
with the Bible, you will know 
that that phrase is exclusively 

290
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,900
used to speak about the end 
times. 

291
00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:19,800
The culmination of all human 
history. 

292
00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:24,300
It speaks about the last 
chapters before God rolls up, 

293
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:27,200
the scroll of the earth and 
ushers in his Reign and the 

294
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,200
Eternal age. 
And so this is undoubtedly about

295
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:37,700
things to happen, still And it's
talking about the end times, 

296
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,400
which some may object and say 
well Hebrews 1 tells us that the

297
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,000
end days the last days have 
begun since Jesus walked on the 

298
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,600
earth in his Earthly ministry, 
right Hebrews 12 so what he's 

299
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,800
talking about the last days it's
been 2000 years. 

300
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,300
But there is something in this 
verse verse 8 of chapter 38, 

301
00:18:54,500 --> 00:18:57,500
that tightens the tight 
timeframe for us to help us 

302
00:18:57,508 --> 00:18:59,900
understand what point in 
history. 

303
00:18:59,900 --> 00:19:02,800
This will happen. 
Look what it says. 

304
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:05,300
After many days you will be 
mustard in the latter years. 

305
00:19:05,300 --> 00:19:07,600
You will go against the land 
that is restored for more the 

306
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,700
land whose people were gathered 
from many people's upon the 

307
00:19:10,700 --> 00:19:16,000
mountains of Israel. 
This future battle will take 

308
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,800
place in the end times. 
After the Jewish, people have 

309
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,800
been gathered from all around 
the world. 

310
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:28,200
To occupy their ancient land. 
and we know that there was a 

311
00:19:28,208 --> 00:19:32,600
Babylonian exile and then they 
came back and then once Jesus 

312
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,500
came on the scene after they 
occupy that land and rejected 

313
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:40,300
their Messiah, They punished, 
they were punished for that. 

314
00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:42,400
They were dispersed throughout 
the whole earth. 

315
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:46,200
And would, you know it in 1948, 
a miracle took place? 

316
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,400
That these Jews were gathered 
and became an independent state.

317
00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:57,600
and if that doesn't Peak your 
interest, nothing in Bible 

318
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:02,600
prophecy will You saying, what's
the significance of land? 

319
00:20:02,700 --> 00:20:04,900
Because when you talk about 
land, especially especially 

320
00:20:04,900 --> 00:20:07,600
amongst those from Middle 
Eastern culture, people get 

321
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,700
tight. 
Because they're thinking 

322
00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:13,800
politically put your politics 
aside and come to the Bible. 

323
00:20:14,500 --> 00:20:17,500
What does the Bible say? 
Not your opinion, not what 

324
00:20:17,500 --> 00:20:19,000
people say, not what the news 
says. 

325
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:22,900
What does the Bible say? 
Your Christian right? 

326
00:20:23,100 --> 00:20:27,400
What does the Bible say? 
And this is what the Bible says.

327
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,200
That the physical restoration of
Israel in the land proceeds, the

328
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,000
spiritual Revival of that 
people. 

329
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:39,800
The physical restoration of that
land proceeds, the spiritual 

330
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,800
Revival of that people. 
In other words, you can't have 

331
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,600
Romans 11:25 and 26. 
All Israel shall be saved until 

332
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,700
Israel has a land. 
Opinion Bible. 

333
00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:55,100
Let's go together. 
Ezekiel 36. 

334
00:20:58,900 --> 00:21:04,700
Verse 24 and look what God says.
Now, this is where the ESV does 

335
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:07,400
this service? 
Who here has a new King James 

336
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,400
lift. 
Your hand who here has the King 

337
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,700
James King, James? 
Okay, who here has the nasb? 

338
00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:19,200
Who here has ESV? 
Okay, this is where the ESV does

339
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,000
a disservice. 
And I'll show you how, let's 

340
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,400
read verse 24. 
I'm going to read it from the 

341
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,300
King James and you're going to 
notice a difference in your ESV 

342
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,900
Ezekiel 36:24 for. 
I will take you from among the 

343
00:21:29,900 --> 00:21:31,800
Heathen. 
He speaking to the Jews and 

344
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:37,200
gather you out of all countries.
All countries and will bring you

345
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,300
into your own land. 
Now, what is verse 25 cent ESP I

346
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:43,900
will take you right? 
My King James people, what does 

347
00:21:43,900 --> 00:21:48,500
the word say before? 
for and other places would say, 

348
00:21:48,500 --> 00:21:55,900
then, Then I will sprinkle clean
water upon you and verse 25. 

349
00:21:56,900 --> 00:22:00,800
Then I will sprinkle clean water
on you and ye shall be clean 

350
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,700
from all your filthiness. 
And from all your Idols will, I 

351
00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:06,200
cleanse you? 
You see that word then is that 

352
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,200
they're in the ESV? 
No. 

353
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:13,500
But it's an important word. 
It's a crucial word because it 

354
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,200
describes a series of events, 
there's a knot. 

355
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,800
He says I'm going to bring you 
into this place from all 

356
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,100
countries. 
When was this fulfilled 

357
00:22:21,100 --> 00:22:22,600
partially with the Babylonian 
exile? 

358
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,900
Because Ezekiel here speaking to
those who are in Babylonian 

359
00:22:25,900 --> 00:22:28,800
Exiles but the greater prophetic
fulfillment is from all 

360
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,600
countries, all the four corners 
of the earth, isn't that what 

361
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,200
they say all countries? 
And will bring you to this place

362
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,700
and when they're brought to this
place, then the holy spirit 

363
00:22:39,700 --> 00:22:44,000
says, then I will do a spiritual
work in you guys. 

364
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,300
So this is why it's important 
because the spiritually revived 

365
00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:55,700
people that will experience the 
power of the New Covenant is 

366
00:22:55,700 --> 00:23:00,200
something that comes much later 
after the land is restored. 

367
00:23:00,300 --> 00:23:03,400
So what's the connection between
Israel's salvation and 

368
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,700
recognizing the Messiah and the 
land one, simple fact that God 

369
00:23:07,700 --> 00:23:11,400
is just fulfilling his promises 
And he wants to fulfill every 

370
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:12,900
promise that he's made to this 
people. 

371
00:23:14,500 --> 00:23:17,000
And one, promise that he made to
this people, is what? 

372
00:23:17,900 --> 00:23:20,100
That you will have this land 
forever. 

373
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,000
The abrahamic Covenant. 
Now this is where people again, 

374
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,200
to be getting tight, man, 
they're getting sweaty and 

375
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:34,400
uncomfortable. 
Because it's giving the idea 

376
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,400
that you favor a people. 
And that you were as steaming a 

377
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,400
nation. 
That sins that creates 

378
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:48,000
Injustice. 
So is God showing favoritism is 

379
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,100
God calling one people greater 
than all other people's I'll let

380
00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:57,300
God answer it for himself. 
Look at verse 22 of chapter 36. 

381
00:23:57,300 --> 00:23:58,800
Therefore say to the house of 
Israel. 

382
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,100
Thus says the Lord God it is not
for your sake o House of Israel.

383
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:09,400
that I'm about to act, but for 
the sake of my holy name, Which 

384
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,300
you have profaned among the 
nation's to which you came, you 

385
00:24:12,300 --> 00:24:14,300
know, when you start talking 
about, like this people call you

386
00:24:14,300 --> 00:24:18,800
all these names Zionist this, 
and that you favor them. 

387
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,400
Look at all the things that 
they're doing to them. 

388
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:21,900
And look at all the things 
they're doing to them. 

389
00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:25,000
Listen, God is not approving any
Behavior. 

390
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,200
God is not celebrating anything.
God is Not on the side of 

391
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,700
unrighteousness, whether your 
Jew or Gentile, why is God doing

392
00:24:31,700 --> 00:24:38,100
this for his namesake His name's
sake, he's doing it because he 

393
00:24:38,100 --> 00:24:40,900
declared a Word of Promise and 
he's not going to break that 

394
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:45,300
promise you say, well, we're in 
a different Covenant and where 

395
00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:49,000
the church absolutely. 
But let me shatter something. 

396
00:24:49,100 --> 00:24:52,000
That is a great misconception. 
Amongst many, if God is willing 

397
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,100
to break his promise with 
Israel, what makes you think 

398
00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:55,000
that? 
He's not willing to break his 

399
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:00,800
promise with the church? 
Get out of the political realm 

400
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,300
brothers and sisters as tempting
as it is. 

401
00:25:03,700 --> 00:25:06,200
And let's look at God's reason 
for this. 

402
00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:11,200
This is much more about the 
character of God than about 

403
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:20,100
boundaries and real estate. 
And so, this is significant. as 

404
00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:23,500
I said, because it deals with 
the nature of God, and that's 

405
00:25:23,500 --> 00:25:29,000
why Paul wrote Romans 9 10 and 
11, by the way, Because let's 

406
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,500
turn there. 
He goes on to describe the 

407
00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:35,600
wonderful relationship that God 
has with this people, from the 

408
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,200
old Covenant and we know that in
the New Covenant that wall of 

409
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,400
hostility was brought down and 
there is neither no Jew or 

410
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,400
Gentile. 
We Are All One in Christ. 

411
00:25:46,100 --> 00:25:50,300
But then, after describing how 
this, people have the adoption, 

412
00:25:50,300 --> 00:25:53,000
the glory, the covenants, the 
giving of the law, the worship. 

413
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,800
And the promises. 
Look what he says here in Romans

414
00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:01,800
9 Verse 6 but it is not as 
though the word of God has 

415
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:06,000
failed for not all who are 
descended from Israel, belong to

416
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,800
Israel. 
What is he trying to say he's 

417
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,600
getting into the mind of the 
reader and is assuming that they

418
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,400
will bring up this protest? 
Well, you're describing how 

419
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,100
wonderful God is in relating to 
this people, but our question 

420
00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:24,400
is, did he fail? 
Did his word not come to pass? 

421
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:27,500
Why would they say that? 
Because the Messiah comes the 

422
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:29,700
Messiah that these Gentiles 
believed in, but who didn't 

423
00:26:29,700 --> 00:26:34,700
believe in him Israel? 
And so Paul is trying to defend 

424
00:26:34,700 --> 00:26:40,000
the case, Romans 9 10 11, the 
centrality, the thesis is about 

425
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,800
Israel and God's dealing with 
them. 

426
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,500
And what is he saying here? 
In Romans 9 6? 

427
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,800
I'm about to prove to you that 
God's word didn't fail. 

428
00:26:49,100 --> 00:26:51,900
Just because they rejected 
Christ doesn't mean God's 

429
00:26:51,900 --> 00:26:56,400
finished with them, and then he 
goes on to explain why? 

430
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,800
And then it culminates in Romans
11, where he says, do you 

431
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,500
realize that a hardening? 
Because they rejected the 

432
00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:04,600
Messiah, a hardening comes upon 
them, where they're still 

433
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,600
rejecting the Messiah, and in 
that hardening, I'm softening 

434
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,000
the hearts of the Gentiles and 
I'm winning them one by one and 

435
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,600
there it's going to the nation's
and the moment in God's calendar

436
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,100
and in God's mind he has a 
number of mine where he says 

437
00:27:17,100 --> 00:27:20,000
that's it, he seals the Work 
with the Gentiles. 

438
00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:23,400
And then he returns in the Book 
of Revelation to work with the 

439
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,500
Jews to win their hearts, to the
Messiah. 

440
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,600
So, you see, right? 
Do you see that Paul in himself,

441
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,900
is realizing that, this whole 
deal is about the character of 

442
00:27:34,900 --> 00:27:40,100
God, the faithfulness of God, 
the authenticity of his word, 

443
00:27:40,100 --> 00:27:45,200
the never changing God. 
If we get that, a lot of tension

444
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,700
will be eased. 
So he says here you have to 

445
00:27:48,700 --> 00:27:53,600
understand that God did not fail
but God has plans. 

446
00:27:54,700 --> 00:27:59,700
And they will be fulfilled. 
Now, we might think. 

447
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,000
Well, do we have more specifics?
I mean, you're saying the latter

448
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,400
times but give me some dates, 
man. 

449
00:28:07,500 --> 00:28:10,800
Which I'm not if anybody does 
kick them out the door. 

450
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,700
But you have people who hold 
different views on when this 

451
00:28:14,700 --> 00:28:17,000
will take place within the 
latter times. 

452
00:28:17,100 --> 00:28:19,100
And would you know it? 
Do we have people with different

453
00:28:19,100 --> 00:28:22,300
opinions on this and guess what?
If you're on either one of those

454
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:25,000
sides, you're not a heretic. 
So you can take a deep breath. 

455
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,900
You have some people. 
If we come back to Ezekiel, 38, 

456
00:28:28,900 --> 00:28:33,000
that would say this battle of 
Gog and Magog will take place 

457
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,700
before the tribulation period. 
Now, this is a different sermon,

458
00:28:36,700 --> 00:28:38,500
doesn't it feels like it's more 
Bible study? 

459
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,100
That's okay, so let's pull back.
Here's here's a timeline for us 

460
00:28:42,100 --> 00:28:45,000
here. 
We're in the church age. 

461
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:48,900
When the church age is complete,
you have what the tribulation 

462
00:28:48,900 --> 00:28:52,500
period, which lasts what seven 
years and then you have at the 

463
00:28:52,500 --> 00:28:55,400
end of that seven years, the 
second coming of Jesus Christ. 

464
00:28:55,700 --> 00:28:58,500
And after the second coming of 
Jesus Christ, what do you have 

465
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,100
1000 year? 
Millennial Reign where Jesus 

466
00:29:01,100 --> 00:29:02,600
Christ physically rains on the 
earth. 

467
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,500
And after that thousand years, 
what do you have? 

468
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,300
The Eternal age, the new heavens
and the new Earth come in and 

469
00:29:08,300 --> 00:29:10,600
then we are where God wants us 
to be. 

470
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,100
You have people that would say 
well, where'd this is Gog and 

471
00:29:15,100 --> 00:29:18,600
Magog thing take place and 
they'll say look at verse 9 of 

472
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:26,100
chapter 38, excuse me of chapter
39 which is the same sequence of

473
00:29:26,100 --> 00:29:32,500
the prophecy. 
Then those who dwell in the 

474
00:29:32,500 --> 00:29:35,800
cities of Israel will go out and
make fires of the weapons and 

475
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,100
burned them Shields, and 
Buckler's bow, and arrows clubs 

476
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:41,200
and Spears. 
And they will make fires of them

477
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,000
for 7 years. 
See see what's happening after 

478
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,500
God intervenes, and he wipes out
the enemies that are coming 

479
00:29:48,500 --> 00:29:51,800
against this people. 
There will be so much weaponry 

480
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:55,600
and ezekiel's using his language
of understanding weapons for his

481
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,100
days for his people to 
understand. 

482
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,700
But we have no fear to think 
that this is speaking about an 

483
00:29:59,700 --> 00:30:01,800
ancient battle because there's 
bows and arrows know it's just a

484
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,100
way of interpreting what he is 
seeing for his people. 

485
00:30:04,700 --> 00:30:06,600
There's going to be so much 
weaponry. 

486
00:30:07,700 --> 00:30:09,800
That this people are going to 
say, what are we going to do 

487
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,400
with it? 
And they begin to recycle it and

488
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,400
they use it for different 
purposes and they make fires out

489
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,800
of and they turn the material 
for something else and you know 

490
00:30:17,808 --> 00:30:20,600
how long that's going to take 
seven years, that's how much is 

491
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:25,000
going to be seven years now, 
does that ring a bell? 

492
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,400
It does because that's the 
period of the tribulation seven 

493
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,800
years. 
And so people will say that this

494
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,300
battle will have some kind of 
part in tribute and triggering 

495
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:38,400
the tribulation period. 
And they would go on to say Well

496
00:30:38,500 --> 00:30:42,200
it fits really well because if 
you have this war in a 

497
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,600
humiliating defeat towards the 
enemies which many of them are 

498
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,900
neighboring Nations that it 
would make sense for Israel to 

499
00:30:48,900 --> 00:30:52,300
have the confidence now to do 
what build the temple. 

500
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,500
Now's our chance, let's build 
the house of God so that we can 

501
00:30:58,500 --> 00:31:03,300
worship God. 
It also makes sense for the 

502
00:31:03,300 --> 00:31:08,400
Antichrist to enter into the 
scene and to offer what a peace 

503
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,300
treaty. 
After this war is said and done 

504
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,700
and the smoke Rises the 
Antichrist can stop and say, 

505
00:31:14,700 --> 00:31:17,100
listen, this is getting too 
messy, guys, we have to, we have

506
00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:20,400
to finish this once and for all 
and he shows up into the world 

507
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,300
as a false Messiah. 
And he writes any offers a 

508
00:31:24,300 --> 00:31:27,500
seven-year peace treaty that he 
will break halfway through. 

509
00:31:28,500 --> 00:31:31,900
which causes people to believe 
that this can't happen before 

510
00:31:31,900 --> 00:31:36,200
the tribulation, but in the 
middle of the tribulation, why 

511
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,200
would people say that will come 
here to verse 11 of chapter 38 

512
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:45,500
Ezekiel 38 verse 11 and look at 
the description of Israel before

513
00:31:45,500 --> 00:31:51,400
this war And say he's speaking 
about what God, this Prince 

514
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,300
rulers thinking and say I will 
go up against the land of 

515
00:31:55,300 --> 00:31:59,000
unwalled villages. 
I will fall upon the quiet 

516
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,300
people who dwell securely, all 
of them dwelling Without Walls 

517
00:32:03,300 --> 00:32:08,900
and having no bars or Gates. so 
whatever point of History, 

518
00:32:08,900 --> 00:32:13,700
Israel's out of here, we know 
one thing, they feel secure They

519
00:32:13,700 --> 00:32:15,300
feel safe. 
They feel like there is no need 

520
00:32:15,300 --> 00:32:19,300
to put up a shield to have walls
have a defense system, they feel

521
00:32:19,300 --> 00:32:22,100
so confident. 
Even with all the threats that 

522
00:32:22,100 --> 00:32:26,900
they've known throughout history
to actually be at a place where 

523
00:32:26,900 --> 00:32:30,600
they don't need to have weapons 
or any kind of thing to guard 

524
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,600
them. 
And here's what you and I know 

525
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,500
that's never happened. 
Nor will it ever happen for 

526
00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:38,800
Israel? 
They will never come to a place 

527
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,400
where they feel this secure and 
less and less. 

528
00:32:42,900 --> 00:32:45,900
There is one slot in history 
that would give him that kind of

529
00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:49,300
confidence and when would it be 
when the Antichrist comes? 

530
00:32:50,100 --> 00:32:53,300
And he makes a peace treaty with
them and he makes sure that he 

531
00:32:53,300 --> 00:32:56,200
will protect Israel in the 
beginning of the tribulation 

532
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,800
will those say okay we're secure
and they let their guard down 

533
00:33:01,100 --> 00:33:04,000
and what's your what? 
The happen is near the midpoint,

534
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,800
you're going to see nations rise
up when they see them like a 

535
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,200
Sitting Duck and say let's go 
after them. 

536
00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:14,300
Because when you read Revelation
at the halfway point of the 

537
00:33:14,300 --> 00:33:18,000
tribulation, there is a war that
breaks out against this people. 

538
00:33:18,300 --> 00:33:21,300
And some would say this is part 
of it and then there are others 

539
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:25,900
who say, no, no, it's not going 
to be before the tribulation, 

540
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,600
it's not going to be in the 
middle of the tribulation. 

541
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,300
It's gonna be at the end, none 
of the tribulation. 

542
00:33:32,300 --> 00:33:36,800
But when the millennium Say, 
where are they getting that idea

543
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,000
from? 
Well, let's go to Revelation. 

544
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:46,800
Chapter 20 and see So remember 
there are some who would say no 

545
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,300
no no this is not happening even
during the tribulation, this is 

546
00:33:50,308 --> 00:33:52,700
going to happen. 
After Jesus comes back rules for

547
00:33:52,700 --> 00:33:55,800
a thousand years and sets up his
kingdom. 

548
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,500
And the idea is not from thin 
air. 

549
00:33:58,500 --> 00:34:01,700
It comes from attacks and 
Revelation 20 verse 7 and when 

550
00:34:01,700 --> 00:34:05,200
the thousand years are ended, 
Satan will be released from his 

551
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,900
prison. 
Now, hold on for a second. 

552
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:13,500
Verse 8 says and will come out 
to deceive the Nations that are 

553
00:34:13,500 --> 00:34:16,800
at the Four Corners of the 
earth, Gog and Magog. 

554
00:34:19,100 --> 00:34:23,300
To gather them for battle, the 
number like the sand of the sea.

555
00:34:24,900 --> 00:34:27,199
See see where they're drawing 
the connection from, right. 

556
00:34:27,300 --> 00:34:30,100
But before we even go there, I 
can't help but look at this and 

557
00:34:30,100 --> 00:34:36,000
realize how stupid Satan is. 
I'll tell you why think about 

558
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,800
this? 
All it took is one Angel to bind

559
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,500
this Beast. 
Into an abyss for a thousand 

560
00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:44,300
years. 
One, Angel read the verses prior

561
00:34:44,300 --> 00:34:46,800
to this. 
And after that thousand years, 

562
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:51,100
he has the confidence to arise 
deceive the Nations and try to 

563
00:34:51,100 --> 00:34:55,100
Dethrone Christ. 
What do you need to learn before

564
00:34:55,100 --> 00:34:57,000
you realize that you're not 
going to win? 

565
00:34:58,900 --> 00:35:01,400
What's motivating this Fallen 
Angel. 

566
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:04,700
I'll tell you what it is. 
A combination of deep pride and 

567
00:35:04,700 --> 00:35:08,600
deep hate. 
And when you have such a level 

568
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:13,000
of demonic, hatred residing in a
heart, there is no telling to 

569
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,600
the degrees in the campaigns 
that you will make to make sure 

570
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,500
you get what you want in your 
hatred. 

571
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,000
This hatred is so powerful. 
It is blinding to his own 

572
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,600
weakness and his failed attempts
in the past where he is foaming 

573
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,000
at the mouth and he will do 
everything. 

574
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,300
He can with every bit of 
strength, he has left to make 

575
00:35:29,300 --> 00:35:32,700
sure that he has Christ 
underneath his feet. 

576
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:36,900
And I can't help. 
When I read that, I thought to 

577
00:35:36,900 --> 00:35:39,500
myself if hatred looks like 
this. 

578
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,500
It looks outrageous. 
It looks Reckless. 

579
00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:46,700
It looks like Faith to believe 
the impossible. 

580
00:35:47,700 --> 00:35:54,400
What can love do? 
If hatred made Satan crawl out 

581
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,500
of the abyss and try to war 
against Christ again. 

582
00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:00,500
Do you want to know what perfect
love looks like? 

583
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:06,000
Christ leaving his throne and 
coming to the world to be slain 

584
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,500
by Sinners, so that he can save 
those same sinners. 

585
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,700
Satan crawls out of a pit and 
hatred Christ comes down from 

586
00:36:14,700 --> 00:36:19,300
glory and serves. 
That's love, that's love. 

587
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,500
You know what's amazing reading 
this. 

588
00:36:21,900 --> 00:36:26,100
I can't help but think Satan and
his hatred wants to deceive 

589
00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:29,300
Nations while Christ and his 
love wants to win Nations and 

590
00:36:29,300 --> 00:36:32,600
that same love that Jesus had in
his heart can be in our hearts, 

591
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,700
as well. 
I saw this and I contrasted it 

592
00:36:36,700 --> 00:36:41,000
with with God's love and I 
thought to myself where can love

593
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,900
take us if we allow Christ to 
dominate our hearts you know 

594
00:36:45,900 --> 00:36:50,500
what Paul said in second 
Corinthians 5:14 For the Love of

595
00:36:50,500 --> 00:36:56,300
Christ controls us For the Love 
of Christ, controls us. 

596
00:36:57,100 --> 00:36:58,000
And, you know what he says 
after. 

597
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,800
He knows that Christ's love, 
controlled him and verse 15. 

598
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:07,000
He died for all that those who 
live might no longer live for 

599
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,800
themselves. 
But for him who for the sake 

600
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,500
died wasn't raised when you 
allow the love of Christ. 

601
00:37:15,500 --> 00:37:17,800
I mean, you and I look into this
world and we see this perversion

602
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:22,500
we live in a city where there's 
murderers, Every weekend. 

603
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,800
And we think what kind of hatred
can possess people to do such a 

604
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,800
thing? 
Well, the reflect reflecting the

605
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:32,000
Father, the devil, If hatred can
take people so far, what can 

606
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,600
Christ's love due to his people.
And Paul says it controls, me 

607
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,000
and it controls you to the 
point. 

608
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,300
You know, you know, when 
Christ's love controls you, when

609
00:37:40,300 --> 00:37:42,400
you can say here, I don't live 
for myself. 

610
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,900
That's what the love of Christ 
does in you, and makes you 

611
00:37:45,900 --> 00:37:48,300
sacrificial, makes you look 
outward you steam others, 

612
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:51,200
people's feelings and needs and 
wants above yours. 

613
00:37:53,500 --> 00:37:57,700
So you and I have an opportunity
to show the world, the opposite 

614
00:37:57,700 --> 00:38:00,500
of what Satan shows. 
The world that we can win people

615
00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:04,600
to Christ, by example, by love. 
If we allow it to control us 

616
00:38:05,700 --> 00:38:09,600
Coming back to the main point, 
Gog and Magog are mentioned 

617
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,200
here. 
And for many people that's it 

618
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:13,800
that's a case closed right 
there. 

619
00:38:13,900 --> 00:38:16,400
It's there's no there's no 
argument there. 

620
00:38:16,500 --> 00:38:19,900
These are the main two places in
all of scripture that God and 

621
00:38:19,900 --> 00:38:24,100
Magog are mentioned. 
But here's why if you make a 

622
00:38:24,107 --> 00:38:26,800
careful study, you can challenge
that thought even which is not 

623
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,700
making it easier for you. 
I'm sure to know where you're 

624
00:38:28,700 --> 00:38:33,000
going to land on this. 
Firstly, in Ezekiel 38 we have a

625
00:38:33,008 --> 00:38:35,600
description of mainly in enemy 
from the north. 

626
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,100
That is coming down with an 
alliance of other nations here. 

627
00:38:39,100 --> 00:38:42,700
We read that it's going to be 
the nation's from the four 

628
00:38:42,700 --> 00:38:46,500
corners of the Earth. 
Secondly, as we come in Ezekiel 

629
00:38:46,500 --> 00:38:49,800
38, we're told that it's going 
to take seven years to burn 

630
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,600
these weapons. 
And listen seven months to bury 

631
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,300
the bodies. 
Now, here's the question, if 

632
00:38:56,300 --> 00:38:58,600
this is happening at the end of 
the Millennium and after the end

633
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,400
of the Millennium, what do you 
have the Judgment, the great 

634
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,300
white Throne. 
Judgment regard, judges, those 

635
00:39:05,300 --> 00:39:07,500
whose names are not written in 
the Lamb's Book of Life. 

636
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,600
If you have that coming right 
after this, what's the point of 

637
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,300
taking seven years to burn 
weapons? 

638
00:39:13,900 --> 00:39:16,400
And what's the point of taking 
seven months to bury bodies? 

639
00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:20,400
God is going to raise everybody 
up, anyway, and then judge those

640
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,800
into Eternal damnation. 
And lastly, we come here, and we

641
00:39:24,808 --> 00:39:29,600
realize that one of the purposes
of Gog and Magog and Ezekiel 38.

642
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,300
One of the purposes is to get 
Israel's attention. 

643
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,300
But in Revelation, 20 already 
has their attention crisis 

644
00:39:37,300 --> 00:39:38,600
ruling and reigning from 
Jerusalem. 

645
00:39:39,300 --> 00:39:43,400
There's no need for that. 
So then why Gog & Magog 

646
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,100
mentioned then, there are 
mentioned by name and I think 

647
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,400
the way to explain it is that 
the Bible is trying to make a 

648
00:39:50,408 --> 00:39:53,900
connection between the 
rebellious spirit that operated 

649
00:39:53,900 --> 00:39:57,400
in God in Revelation. 
I'm rather in Ezekiel, 38 is 

650
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,600
duplicated. 
Now, in this final battle before

651
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,400
the Eternal age, it's the same 
spirit. 

652
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,700
It's the same Rebellion, it's 
the same hatred for Christ, 

653
00:40:05,700 --> 00:40:08,600
that's operating then and now 
it's operating here. 

654
00:40:08,900 --> 00:40:10,800
So you see that in the Bible 
with the use of the word 

655
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,000
Babylon, Babylon? 
Is a physical place in the 

656
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Bible, but it's also a word used
to describe a spirit and 

657
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,200
ideology that is anti-god. 
A system that is raised in 

658
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,300
society that profanes and 
blasphemes Christ. 

659
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,800
So, Gog and Magog here is not 
perhaps the literal Gog and 

660
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,200
Magog we've seen Ezekiel 38, but
the same operation of the spirit

661
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,900
behind it. 
So enjoy picking a position. 

662
00:40:39,900 --> 00:40:41,400
What's more important is that it
will happen. 

663
00:40:42,700 --> 00:40:45,800
It will happen. 
And the question is, why will 

664
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,800
this happen? 
Why is this war that's been 

665
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,900
prophesied? 
Thousands of years ago. 

666
00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:55,000
Why is this going to take place 
in the answer is there's two 

667
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,300
reasons, a natural reason, and a
spiritual reason, when you come 

668
00:40:58,300 --> 00:41:01,900
back to Ezekiel 38 you see the 
natural reason behind it. 

669
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:09,100
The natural reason is in the 
thoughts of Gog. 

670
00:41:11,100 --> 00:41:14,100
Verse 10 of Ezekiel 38. 
Thus says, the Lord God on that 

671
00:41:14,100 --> 00:41:15,700
day. 
Thoughts will come into your 

672
00:41:15,700 --> 00:41:19,500
mind. 
Annual device, an evil scheme, 

673
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:25,700
verse 12 to see spoil and carry 
off, plunder to turn your hand 

674
00:41:25,700 --> 00:41:29,300
against the waste places that 
are now inhabited and the people

675
00:41:29,300 --> 00:41:31,800
who are gathered from the 
Nations who have acquired 

676
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,800
livestock and goods who dwell at
the center of the earth, it's a 

677
00:41:35,808 --> 00:41:37,800
political move. 
I'm into your mind. 

678
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:45,500
Will see them in a secure place.
Defenseless without arms and 

679
00:41:45,500 --> 00:41:49,500
they will say this is our chance
to use our power for greater 

680
00:41:49,500 --> 00:41:52,100
prosperity. 
It's just a political move. 

681
00:41:52,900 --> 00:41:54,900
So they're operating here. 
Like how Nations operate today 

682
00:41:54,900 --> 00:41:58,000
you go to war for greater power 
and greater Prosperity. 

683
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,100
That's what they're, that's what
they're attempting here. 

684
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,100
But verse 4 shows us the 
spiritual reason. 

685
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,800
Look What God Says and I will 
turn you about and put hooks 

686
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:13,500
into your jaws and I will bring 
you out and all your horses and 

687
00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:16,800
Horsemen all of them, clothed in
full armor, a great host, all of

688
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:22,500
them, with the Buckler and 
shield wielding swords, And so 

689
00:42:22,500 --> 00:42:25,400
in God's mind, and the Nations 
that are in partnership with 

690
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,300
them, they're saying we got 
this. 

691
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,500
We're taking it to the bank 
easy-peasy. 

692
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,200
This will be effortless. 
And they think they're in 

693
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,500
control, and you just read who's
really in control. 

694
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,000
God, is orchestrating. 
This God, is Sovereign over 

695
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,700
this. 
God is the one who is moving the

696
00:42:45,700 --> 00:42:48,200
pieces. 
And he's saying, I'm going to 

697
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:54,000
put a hook in your jaw and pull 
you towards this in violation to

698
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,600
the free will of God. 
No. 

699
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,700
But in partnership with it. 
God, God was determined to do 

700
00:42:59,700 --> 00:43:03,000
this and God says, you want to 
do this I will raise you up so I

701
00:43:03,008 --> 00:43:07,600
can show my power and he draws 
him to his own judgement because

702
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,600
of his own evil scheme in evil 
desires. 

703
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,200
He did that with pharaoh. 
And so we see here that there is

704
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:18,300
a spiritual element to this. 
And now what you see here in the

705
00:43:18,300 --> 00:43:22,900
natural reason seems political 
It seems like just Warfare but 

706
00:43:22,900 --> 00:43:26,000
behind the scenes, there's 
something else going on. 

707
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,500
God is the Lord of hosts who 
Reigns over every nation. 

708
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,400
He's the one who has the story 
Pain. 

709
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,300
Doubt, already of how all of 
this is going to turn out and he

710
00:43:39,300 --> 00:43:41,400
knows how it's going to end, and
we know how it's going to end. 

711
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:46,100
God is the one who is in control
over the Affairs that you. 

712
00:43:46,100 --> 00:43:48,700
And I, and many people are 
witnessing. 

713
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,700
Here's why that's important, 
because this proves that God is 

714
00:43:52,700 --> 00:43:56,000
in control, not just of our 
world, but of the Unseen World, 

715
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,300
you want proof of that. 
So this is Gog and Magog. 

716
00:43:58,300 --> 00:44:01,000
I know there's a lot of Bible. 
Today's Bible study, it's okay. 

717
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,600
When you realize that there's 
another battle and it's not Gog 

718
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:05,900
& Magog. 
There's another battle in 

719
00:44:05,900 --> 00:44:08,000
Revelation. 
Tell me the name of it Battle of

720
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,100
what you're right. 
Good, good students. 

721
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,100
Battle of Armageddon. 
It's a different fight than this

722
00:44:15,100 --> 00:44:18,200
one. 
Now in preparation for that war,

723
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:22,200
just listen to what the holy 
spirit says about the battle of 

724
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:27,000
Armageddon. 
And 16:14 of Revelation for, 

725
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:32,000
they are demonic spirits. 
They are demonic spirits 

726
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,100
performing signs, who go abroad 
to the kings of the whole world 

727
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:36,500
to assemble them. 
For battle. 

728
00:44:36,500 --> 00:44:38,300
On the great day of God the 
almighty. 

729
00:44:38,900 --> 00:44:41,800
Who's behind it? 
Demonic spirits. 

730
00:44:43,500 --> 00:44:46,400
You have demons that will 
deceive people on that day 

731
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,700
because the demons know what is 
coming down the pipe. 

732
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,000
What's coming down. 
The pipe, in Revelation Christ 

733
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,200
is going to split the sky open 
plant his feet on the Mount of 

734
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,400
Olives and established his 
throne in Jerusalem and the 

735
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,500
demons. 
Feel it, the demons know, their 

736
00:45:00,500 --> 00:45:02,400
Bibles and they realize it's 
coming. 

737
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,000
Let's gather the Kings and they 
gather all the nations to come 

738
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:10,000
to Armageddon in Israel to fight
against Christ. 

739
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,800
Who's the one energizing? 
These leaders demonic spirits. 

740
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,900
But who's really behind it? 
Go to Zechariah. 

741
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:27,200
I hope this was Stir you to see 
how exciting the Bible is in 

742
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,600
Zechariah Chapter 14. 
Another Prophecy of the end 

743
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,600
times. 
God speaks about the same 

744
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,000
battle. 
The battle of Armageddon. 

745
00:45:37,700 --> 00:45:40,400
Verse 1 behold. 
The day is coming for the Lord 

746
00:45:40,500 --> 00:45:43,400
when the spoil taken from you 
will be divided in your midst. 

747
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:47,400
Now look at this verse 24. 
I will gather all the nations 

748
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:51,000
against Jerusalem to battle and 
the city shall be taken, in the 

749
00:45:51,008 --> 00:45:53,900
house has plundered. 
And the woman raped who is 

750
00:45:53,900 --> 00:45:59,300
gathering the nation's I I will 
gather them but I just thought 

751
00:45:59,300 --> 00:46:01,200
in Revelation, it was the 
demonic spirits. 

752
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,500
It's God giving the demonic 
spirits permission and these 

753
00:46:05,500 --> 00:46:10,800
demons have leashes on them. 
Go go, tempt him and who's 

754
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,000
behind it? 
The same God behind the Battle 

755
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,100
of Gog, and Magog. 
He is. 

756
00:46:15,100 --> 00:46:19,300
Sovereign, he's in control and 
the world is gonna be watching 

757
00:46:19,300 --> 00:46:21,400
news headlines. 
And think this is crazy, this is

758
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,500
out of control. 
And there is someone occupying a

759
00:46:23,500 --> 00:46:25,600
throne, that knows what's going 
to happen. 

760
00:46:28,900 --> 00:46:31,200
So we realize that there's a 
spiritual element to this. 

761
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,700
You might be wondering, well, 
can you give me reasons why this

762
00:46:33,700 --> 00:46:35,100
is significant. 
I'll give you reasons. 

763
00:46:35,100 --> 00:46:38,600
Number one. 
This battle is important because

764
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,500
it proves that Satan wants to 
overthrow God's promises and 

765
00:46:41,500 --> 00:46:47,000
plans you heard in Revelation 
20, he is a tenacious fake 

766
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,300
confidence that he can actually 
obstruct an obscure. 

767
00:46:51,300 --> 00:46:55,100
What God had said would happen. 
He did it with Egypt with Moses.

768
00:46:55,300 --> 00:46:57,500
A deliverer was going to be 
raised because Satan knew the 

769
00:46:57,500 --> 00:47:00,600
years that were counting down 
before God took Israel out of 

770
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,300
Egypt and brought him into this 
land. 

771
00:47:02,300 --> 00:47:04,100
And what did he do? 
You try to cause a massacre 

772
00:47:04,100 --> 00:47:07,400
amongst the children, Then you 
have the greater Moses, the 

773
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:11,200
greater deliver, not from a 
place, but from our sins who is 

774
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,400
born in Bethlehem under the 
rule, and reign of who Herod, 

775
00:47:14,500 --> 00:47:16,300
and what happens there? 
Another Massacre. 

776
00:47:17,300 --> 00:47:19,900
Trying to do what eliminate the 
seed of the Messiah. 

777
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,700
Now that dispensation is over 
and we're in the church age and 

778
00:47:24,700 --> 00:47:27,200
the gospel is being proclaimed 
to All Nations and that's 

779
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:31,800
Satan's men ambition to restrict
to Halt to fight against the 

780
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,900
spreading of the Gospel but he 
has different purposes as well. 

781
00:47:35,900 --> 00:47:39,200
And one of them is this if Jesus
Christ said he would Rule and 

782
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,700
Reign physically in that land, 
do you think he's gonna have a 

783
00:47:42,707 --> 00:47:48,800
problem with that land? 
I'll leave that for you to 

784
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,900
figure out. 
There's no wonder that. 

785
00:47:52,900 --> 00:47:55,600
It's the hottest piece of real 
estate in the world. 

786
00:47:55,600 --> 00:48:00,300
Today, there is no question why,
there are so many and the four 

787
00:48:00,300 --> 00:48:03,400
corners of the earth that have 
an opinion about this land. 

788
00:48:05,500 --> 00:48:09,700
Because there's somebody else 
that realizes something that 

789
00:48:09,700 --> 00:48:12,900
some professing Christians don't
even believe that Christ will 

790
00:48:12,900 --> 00:48:17,400
come and plant his feet and Rule
with a rod of iron From that 

791
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:18,900
place. 
And guess what? 

792
00:48:18,900 --> 00:48:21,600
Satan doesn't want. 
I want to rule and Reign this 

793
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,300
world. 
What is first, John 5, tell us 

794
00:48:24,300 --> 00:48:26,500
that the world lies in the power
of the evil one. 

795
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,800
And when Jesus comes, yes, he 
defeated him on the cross, but 

796
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,900
he's going to come and stick his
rod in his face and say, I'm now

797
00:48:33,900 --> 00:48:40,600
ruling and reigning this world 
and Satan doesn't want that And 

798
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,200
he wants to make God look like a
liar. 

799
00:48:44,700 --> 00:48:47,000
And you had a lot of people had 
a different opinions about this 

800
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,400
whole subject that I'm 
presenting to you today before. 

801
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:54,100
1948. 
When 1948 happen, some people 

802
00:48:54,100 --> 00:48:59,300
went what? 
Be careful of using every 

803
00:48:59,300 --> 00:49:01,600
headline to try to find it in in
the Bible. 

804
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,800
Just stick with the word of God,
and you'll be safe. 

805
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:11,900
But there's a second reason, God
will use this war and 38, and 39

806
00:49:12,100 --> 00:49:15,200
of Ezekiel to display his glory 
to the world. 

807
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,000
Go to chapter 39 and look with 
me here in verse 21. 

808
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,200
After all is said, and done 
after this war is complete. 

809
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:27,600
Look What the Lord says. 
And 39:21, and I will set my 

810
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:32,700
glory among the Nations and all 
the nations shall see, my 

811
00:49:32,700 --> 00:49:36,600
judgment, that I've executed and
my hand that I have laid on 

812
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:41,300
them. 
For lunch, fill your belly. 

813
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:43,800
You probably skip breakfast 
today, I'm assuming most of you 

814
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,200
fill your belly. 
Take the time to read, Ezekiel, 

815
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:49,500
38, and 39, especially 38. 
When you read 38, you will 

816
00:49:49,500 --> 00:49:51,900
realize that when God 
intervenes, it is a supernatural

817
00:49:51,900 --> 00:49:53,900
intervention. 
You will read that. 

818
00:49:53,900 --> 00:49:57,000
He will use natural sources and 
Supernatural sources to. 

819
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,500
Actually, even bring this 
people, these enemies that are 

820
00:49:59,500 --> 00:50:02,400
surrounding this land to such 
confusion where they actually 

821
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,900
now, commit Friendly Fire and 
start killing each other. 

822
00:50:07,100 --> 00:50:09,300
And read carefully. 
You'll notice that Israel in 

823
00:50:09,300 --> 00:50:14,900
this Ward does not lift one 
finger, And here this nation and

824
00:50:14,900 --> 00:50:19,000
the world will be watching and 
obvious intervention from 

825
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,300
heaven. 
And God declares when this 

826
00:50:22,300 --> 00:50:25,800
happens and when it is all said 
and done, the Nations will not 

827
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,600
be able to debate that this was 
something apart from the 

828
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,600
natural. 
How did this happen? 

829
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:36,000
He'll fire these. 
These people that came together 

830
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,700
and I'm shooting each other. 
People are committing suicide on

831
00:50:38,700 --> 00:50:41,200
the hills of Israel. 
Wow. 

832
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,300
And God says, I'm going to 
display my glory through this 

833
00:50:45,300 --> 00:50:47,000
judgment. 
Why? 

834
00:50:47,700 --> 00:50:50,300
Because when you read Revelation
you realize every catastrophe 

835
00:50:50,900 --> 00:50:54,000
every super natural disaster, 
everything that has taken place 

836
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:58,600
is to cause the people to repent
before it's too late to have one

837
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,000
final chance before that 
Millennial Reign comes and 

838
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,300
before the Eternal judgment 
comes one chance and he'll use 

839
00:51:03,300 --> 00:51:05,600
disasters and Supernatural 
intervention to get people's 

840
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,900
attention. 
He will display his glory and 

841
00:51:07,900 --> 00:51:11,600
the world will have a choice to 
either say this book is true or 

842
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:12,900
I hate this. 
God. 

843
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,500
Read Revelation, you'll realize 
that even after all the signs, 

844
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,800
it says that the people will 
bite their tongues and Na and 

845
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,900
refuse to repent as they curse 
God. 

846
00:51:25,100 --> 00:51:28,500
That's how Wicked we are. 
Apart from Christ. 

847
00:51:29,700 --> 00:51:32,700
God will use this to display his
glory to the world, but lastly 

848
00:51:32,700 --> 00:51:37,400
and thirdly, God will use what 
Ezekiel prophesize here to get 

849
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:42,200
the attention of his people. 
Ezekiel 39, 21. 

850
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,500
Look at Ezekiel 39. 22 the house
of Israel shall know that I am 

851
00:51:45,508 --> 00:51:48,900
the Lord their God. 
From that day forward. 

852
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:55,200
From that day forward. 
Meaning what that after this 

853
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:59,900
takes place, God, moves on their
behalf, they're going to look at

854
00:51:59,900 --> 00:52:04,300
one another and their hearts 
will begin to be stirred and 

855
00:52:04,300 --> 00:52:07,100
then they're going to look up. 
And I believe this is the 

856
00:52:07,100 --> 00:52:10,500
beginning of that work, that 
Paul speaks of in Romans 11, 

857
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:15,300
where they're going to realize 
that there is a God and maybe we

858
00:52:15,300 --> 00:52:19,800
miss this Messiah. 
They're going to recognize God, 

859
00:52:20,700 --> 00:52:22,800
and that's interesting, right? 
Because between the period of 

860
00:52:22,808 --> 00:52:25,200
the restoration of their land. 
And this moment many years have 

861
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:31,100
passed by many years have passed
by But there is going to come a 

862
00:52:31,107 --> 00:52:34,500
time with there will be a 
stirring in the spirit and God 

863
00:52:34,500 --> 00:52:38,600
will use this to get their 
attention and say do you realize

864
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:42,100
who I am now? 
Do you realize that despite your

865
00:52:42,100 --> 00:52:47,900
wickedness and your sin that I'm
still keeping my promise to you?

866
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:53,000
And then somehow the connections
going to be made and Christ will

867
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,800
be recognized. 
And Paul says, all Israel shall 

868
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,700
be saved. 
Not that, every Jew will be 

869
00:52:57,700 --> 00:53:00,200
saved but that the nation of 
Israel as a whole, will 

870
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,000
recognize Jesus Christ as the 
anointed one. 

871
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:06,600
Why do I bring this message to 
you today? 

872
00:53:08,900 --> 00:53:12,000
Because, for many reasons, one, 
I want you to look at things 

873
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,700
like Ezekiel, 38 and 39, not be 
intimidated by it. 

874
00:53:15,300 --> 00:53:16,900
I want you to see the glory 
behind it. 

875
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,100
I want you to realize that the 
Bible has much to say about 

876
00:53:19,100 --> 00:53:22,200
prophecy, things to come to pass
and just whet your appetite, 

877
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:23,800
what? 
Your appetite not to be 

878
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,700
conspiracy theories or to again,
look at every news blog and 

879
00:53:26,700 --> 00:53:28,200
breaking news and say, ah, it's 
here. 

880
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:32,800
It's in this verse know not to 
do that, but to be encouraged by

881
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:37,000
a reality of who we serve. 
And here's the reality, Isaiah, 

882
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,400
46:9, and 10. 
Remember the former things of 

883
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:43,000
old for? 
I am God and there is no other. 

884
00:53:43,100 --> 00:53:46,200
I am God and there is none like 
me declaring the end from the 

885
00:53:46,207 --> 00:53:49,200
beginning. 
And from ancient times things 

886
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:53,300
not yet done saying my counsel 
shall stand and I will 

887
00:53:53,300 --> 00:54:00,000
accomplish all my purpose. 
You have a book that doesn't 

888
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,200
just tell you what has happened 
and what you're supposed to do 

889
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,800
today, but tells you what will 
happen? 

890
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,600
And Isaiah says that should be a
reason for you to worship. 

891
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:16,700
Let me put it this way. if 
you're not right with God, you 

892
00:54:16,700 --> 00:54:21,900
better get right with God. 
You better get right with God 

893
00:54:21,900 --> 00:54:25,700
man. 
Because he has things planned in

894
00:54:25,700 --> 00:54:28,100
the future and they're already 
set. 

895
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,500
And the thing that you need to 
worry about more than whether 

896
00:54:30,500 --> 00:54:33,000
this is going to happen before 
the tribulation mid-tribulation 

897
00:54:33,300 --> 00:54:36,200
post tribulation and a 
millennium is, if you're on his 

898
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:45,300
side, So, are you? 
Let me encourage you everything 

899
00:54:45,300 --> 00:54:47,700
that the prophet said about the 
first coming of Christ was that 

900
00:54:47,700 --> 00:54:49,300
on? 
Do you think is going to mess up

901
00:54:49,300 --> 00:54:54,400
on the second one? 
You better get right with God. 

902
00:54:55,500 --> 00:54:56,900
And I'll tell you how you get 
right with God. 

903
00:54:59,100 --> 00:55:03,300
You received the Messiah. 
And I'll tell you about the 

904
00:55:03,300 --> 00:55:09,600
Messiah. 
Whether your Jew or Gentile, you

905
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:15,800
need him. 
The cross provides a level 

906
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,100
ground, we're all equal at the 
foot of it. 

907
00:55:19,700 --> 00:55:21,800
Just because you are from a 
Jewish race, doesn't mean that 

908
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:23,800
you're more favored by God than 
anybody else. 

909
00:55:24,500 --> 00:55:28,800
You need Christ, you need his 
saving work, don't be like the 

910
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:30,800
Pharisees and say Abraham is my 
father. 

911
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:32,300
You know how Jesus respond to 
that? 

912
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,600
He says, you know, you think so 
right now, actually, your father

913
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:39,800
is the devil and whether your 
Jew or Gentile, if you put any 

914
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,000
other confidence in anything 
else except Christ, your father 

915
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,700
is the devil. 
You need to receive the Lord 

916
00:55:45,700 --> 00:55:48,700
Jesus Christ, and I bring this 
word to you, from Ezekiel, to 

917
00:55:48,700 --> 00:55:51,700
stir your heart, and realize 
things are coming to pass. 

918
00:55:52,700 --> 00:55:56,500
Prophecy will be fulfilled. 
And the way things are looking. 

919
00:55:56,500 --> 00:55:58,500
I'm out here setting day. 
So don't throw stones at me at 

920
00:55:58,500 --> 00:56:02,400
lunch. 
You can see the budding of the 

921
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:06,800
Fig leaves. 
The platform, the stage is being

922
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,100
set. 
It's no wonder that local 

923
00:56:09,100 --> 00:56:11,200
churches of every denomination 
almost. 

924
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,900
It's going to the Book of 
Revelation, good for them. 

925
00:56:14,100 --> 00:56:19,200
The preparing the people brother
isn't the Rapture going to take 

926
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:20,700
place and we're going to escape 
all this. 

927
00:56:26,700 --> 00:56:29,700
I hope for a pre-trib Rapture 
but I'm preparing for a mid one.

928
00:56:34,500 --> 00:56:36,400
Whatever. 
Hold of the Rapture you have, 

929
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,600
you still need to get right with
Christ. 

930
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:42,300
Because there's nothing in the 
Bible that says that just 

931
00:56:42,300 --> 00:56:44,300
because you hold to a pre-trib, 
Rapture view that you won't 

932
00:56:44,300 --> 00:56:52,400
suffer before then, And so I 
make a call from this text for 

933
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,900
you to repent and believe on the
Lord, Jesus Christ, because he 

934
00:56:55,900 --> 00:56:59,200
is set history, and his 
prophetic calendar and nobody 

935
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,400
will change it. 
In fact, when you read Ezekiel, 

936
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:05,000
38 at lunch, with your friends, 
you're going to see that even 

937
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:08,900
through the prophet. 
The God calls the people to 

938
00:57:08,900 --> 00:57:10,300
remember that. 
He said this prophetic word. 

939
00:57:10,300 --> 00:57:13,500
He's like, don't you realize 
that I said this, don't you 

940
00:57:13,500 --> 00:57:16,300
realize that I already declared 
this from a bold, don't you 

941
00:57:16,308 --> 00:57:18,700
realize that God was the one 
that I spoke about many years 

942
00:57:18,700 --> 00:57:20,300
ago? 
He says that in the text. 

943
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,300
Why is prophecy given just to 
piqued our interest? 

944
00:57:24,300 --> 00:57:26,800
Just so we can hide in our 
basements just so we can have 

945
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,400
some conversation and some 
debate. 

946
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,900
No, I'll tell you one reason why
we understand prophecy and it's 

947
00:57:31,900 --> 00:57:33,500
found in the book of First. 
John, you don't have to turn 

948
00:57:33,500 --> 00:57:38,100
there but listen to John 3:2. 
Beloved we are God's children 

949
00:57:38,100 --> 00:57:41,200
now and what will it be? 
Has not yet appeared. 

950
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,900
But we know that when he appears
we shall be like him because we 

951
00:57:44,900 --> 00:57:48,700
shall see him as he is now look 
and everyone who thus hopes in 

952
00:57:48,700 --> 00:57:51,000
him purifies himself as he is 
pure. 

953
00:57:51,900 --> 00:57:55,000
If you hope, if you believe that
he's going to return, there's a 

954
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:59,700
purifying work in that belief, a
purifying work and understand 

955
00:57:59,700 --> 00:58:02,800
that I'm going to see him 
face-to-face, he's going to come

956
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:04,700
and he's going to deal with 
Israel and he's gonna deal with 

957
00:58:04,700 --> 00:58:07,600
the Gentiles and it's not about 
him having this political view 

958
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:09,600
and he believes that Israel 
should have these neighborhoods 

959
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:14,000
and Palace. 
I know it's about his character,

960
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,400
his faithfulness. 
What he has said and it's all 

961
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,700
about the gospel underneath. 
It's all about the Gospel of 

962
00:58:20,700 --> 00:58:24,000
Jesus Christ. 
It's all about even a text, like

963
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,500
this to draw your heart to him, 
and to realize that things are 

964
00:58:27,500 --> 00:58:30,000
going to happen. 
And you need to get ready. 

965
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:32,500
So, how do you Pur your purify 
yourself? 

966
00:58:32,500 --> 00:58:35,200
Well, if you're a Christian, you
sanctify Yourself by the spirit,

967
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,600
but if you're not a Christian, 
the only way you can be pure in 

968
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:40,700
the side of Christ is receiving 
his blood. 

969
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:45,600
Being washed by his blood. 
See you coming to Christ is not 

970
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:48,600
you doing something to impress 
him Christ. 

971
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:53,000
Took your place and he impressed
the father on your behalf and he

972
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:56,400
took your judgment and he took 
your wrath and he took your hell

973
00:58:57,300 --> 00:59:00,800
and he made the payment for your
iniquities and he calls you to 

974
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:04,100
embrace him and believe that you
have nothing within yourself to 

975
00:59:04,100 --> 00:59:09,200
offer God to have eternal life. 
But Christ himself, your gift of

976
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:13,300
Salvation is all that God. 
There's so you receive that 

977
00:59:13,300 --> 00:59:16,800
gift, you Embrace that gift. 
And as you embrace it, the right

978
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,400
attitude is I don't want the sin
that put him on the cross. 

979
00:59:20,100 --> 00:59:22,200
I don't want the sin that 
Grieves him to be a part of my 

980
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,700
life. 
So you repent of your sin and 

981
00:59:24,700 --> 00:59:26,800
you walk with Jesus from a place
of approval. 

982
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,900
Not for approval. 
Have you done that yet? 

983
00:59:30,900 --> 00:59:33,000
Have you done that yet? 
What are you waiting for another

984
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:37,100
pandemic? 
What are you waiting for another

985
00:59:37,100 --> 00:59:39,300
lockdown? 
What are you waiting for the 

986
00:59:39,300 --> 00:59:42,600
mark of the beast? 
if we're going to be there for 

987
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:50,600
that, What are we waiting for? 
Today is the day of salvation. 

988
00:59:52,300 --> 00:59:53,600
Yeah, many people say ridiculous
things. 

989
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:54,900
Well, if the Rapture happens, I 
don't know. 

990
00:59:54,900 --> 00:59:56,900
This whole thing is real and 
then I'll accept Christ really. 

991
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:02,500
That's your plan. 
You clearly haven't read the 

992
01:00:02,500 --> 01:00:06,500
book of Revelation to realize, 
you have trouble going into a 

993
01:00:06,500 --> 01:00:08,500
store without your mask and 
people yelling at you to put it 

994
01:00:08,500 --> 01:00:09,500
over your nose. 
Huh? 

995
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:13,100
What happens when you can't buy 
food or drink unless you have 

996
01:00:13,100 --> 01:00:15,000
the mark of the beast on your 
hand or your forehead? 

997
01:00:17,100 --> 01:00:19,600
What happens when you can't get 
even your supply of food? 

998
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:23,600
Because you have not made your 
allegiance to the Antichrist? 

999
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:26,500
You know, you're gonna have 
people on that day in their 

1000
01:00:26,500 --> 01:00:28,700
living rooms, looking at their 
Starving Children. 

1001
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,600
The ribs are starting to show, 
it's been three days, four days 

1002
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,500
three weeks now without food, 
just water and pieces of bread. 

1003
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:37,000
And they're going to make a 
decision honey. 

1004
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:40,400
Let's just take the mark. 
Our kids are dying here. 

1005
01:00:42,300 --> 01:00:44,900
Let's just do this and get it 
over with we're dying. 

1006
01:00:46,700 --> 01:00:50,400
See, the Antichrist is so 
pathetic that he can't win the 

1007
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,300
hearts of the People. 
Like Jesus Does that he has to 

1008
01:00:53,300 --> 01:00:56,000
coerce them and pressure them 
and use an incentive like food 

1009
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,300
and water. 
He's so desperate for worship 

1010
01:00:59,300 --> 01:01:02,700
the devil. 
He's so that's why we see him 

1011
01:01:02,900 --> 01:01:05,500
with such intensity wanted to 
restrict Christ from coming in, 

1012
01:01:05,508 --> 01:01:08,700
fulfilling his plan. 
Jesus Christ is coming. 

1013
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:11,100
Let's pray and prepare our 
hearts. 

1014
01:01:25,500 --> 01:01:29,600
Father, thank you for stirring 
our hearts through a text that 

1015
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,300
perhaps would have intimidated 
us or hold no significance or 

1016
01:01:32,300 --> 01:01:36,100
value to our present-day life. 
Lord, thank you that in the 

1017
01:01:36,100 --> 01:01:38,800
cross. 
There is no Jew or Gentile. 

1018
01:01:42,700 --> 01:01:44,000
Thank you. 
That in the New Covenant. 

1019
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:47,500
We Are All One. 
And we are equal in your sight. 

1020
01:01:48,500 --> 01:01:50,500
Thank you that according to 
Roman's 11. 

1021
01:01:50,500 --> 01:01:53,700
We are grafted into the Olive 
Tree as Gentiles. 

1022
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:57,400
Thank you that you've used what 
seemed to look like a failure 

1023
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:02,500
when the Messiah came to his own
and they did not receive him to 

1024
01:02:02,508 --> 01:02:04,900
actually give us a chance to be 
a part of your family. 

1025
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:07,600
Lord, we pray that in this 
place. 

1026
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:09,500
We would realize that we serve 
the God. 

1027
01:02:09,500 --> 01:02:11,200
Who knows the end from the 
beginning. 

1028
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,800
Who is declared the end from the
start? 

1029
01:02:15,100 --> 01:02:17,000
Who knows what will happen 
before it even happens? 

1030
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:20,800
And has told us about it. 
Lord, we rejoice in you, we 

1031
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:24,500
rejoice in you, God, and we pray
for the present crisis and 

1032
01:02:24,500 --> 01:02:27,300
Israel with Palestine. 
And we ask for one thing souls 

1033
01:02:27,300 --> 01:02:29,900
to be saved. 
People to come to the knowledge 

1034
01:02:29,900 --> 01:02:33,400
of Jesus Christ. 
People to realize that apart 

1035
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:36,500
from Christ, there is no peace 
whether in land or in their 

1036
01:02:36,500 --> 01:02:38,900
hearts. 
And so, both Jew. 

1037
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:45,000
Gentile israeli-palestinian and 
everybody be on. 

1038
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:48,100
That may they see the need for 
Christ, The Prince of Peace, 

1039
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:50,500
Lord. 
In this place together, we 

1040
01:02:50,500 --> 01:02:53,900
rejoice in knowing that we are 
on your side by faith. 

1041
01:02:53,900 --> 01:02:57,300
Through Grace. 
We will be on the side of 

1042
01:02:57,300 --> 01:03:00,900
victory at the end of it all. 
Thank you, Lord, that you are 

1043
01:03:00,900 --> 01:03:02,600
the all-knowing. 
God and Lord. 

1044
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:05,600
If you know, what will take 
place in the Middle East many 

1045
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:07,700
years from now, you know, what 
will take place in our own 

1046
01:03:07,700 --> 01:03:10,500
lives? 
You have a plan for each of us 

1047
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:12,900
and Lord. 
We pray that we would not be 

1048
01:03:12,900 --> 01:03:16,700
like the foolish virgins and not
take up all you'll especially in

1049
01:03:16,707 --> 01:03:19,400
these days where it is getting 
dark and help us. 

1050
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:21,300
Lord be Faithful Servants with 
all. 

1051
01:03:21,300 --> 01:03:24,500
That is happening in the world. 
Lord, we come to you and rejoice

1052
01:03:24,500 --> 01:03:28,000
in your presence for you are the
God who speaks and Jesus name, 

1053
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:29,400
we pray. 
Amen. 

1054
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,300
And amen. 
Let's stand and Worship the Lord

1055
01:03:31,300 --> 01:03:35,700
together with with a sense of 
rejoicing knowing that even in a

1056
01:03:35,900 --> 01:03:39,700
short prophecy like this, we 
know so much about who God is.
