TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION IS GOING
TO BE ONE THAT I'M ACTUALLY
00:01:51.21\00:01:54.94
COMBINING A COUPLE OF STUDIES
INTO ONE PRESENTATION DEALING
00:01:54.94\00:01:58.65
WITH THE SUBJECT OF THE LONGEST
TIME PROPHECY AND THE SANCTUARY.
00:01:58.65\00:02:04.89
THE LESSON TODAY IS LESSON
#11, DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT OF
00:02:04.89\00:02:07.79
CLEANSING THE SANCTUARY.
NOW, WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO
00:02:07.79\00:02:11.73
QUESTION #1 AND I'VE GOT A LOT
TO COVER, SO YOU PRAY FOR ME -
00:02:11.73\00:02:16.06
I'LL PRAY FOR YOU
BECAUSE I'M GOING TO TALK FAST.
00:02:16.06\00:02:18.10
I'LL PRAY YOU CAN LISTEN FAST.
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STUDY.
00:02:18.10\00:02:21.30
ALRIGHT, QUESTION #1 - WE'RE
GOING TO - THIS IS BASED ON A
00:02:21.30\00:02:23.57
PROPHECY IN DANIEL CHAPTER 8 AND
IT TELLS US - MATTER OF FACT,
00:02:23.57\00:02:27.91
OPEN YOUR BIBLES.
WE REALLY NEED TO LOOK.
00:02:27.91\00:02:29.61
IF YOU'VE GOT YOUR BIBLES
WITH YOU OPEN YOUR BIBLES TO
00:02:29.61\00:02:31.21
DANIEL 8. YOU NEED
TO AT LEAST INTRODUCE
00:02:31.21\00:02:33.15
THIS BEFORE WE
DIVE INTO THE QUESTION.
00:02:33.15\00:02:35.88
DANIEL 8, VERSE 1, "IN THE
THIRD YEAR OF THE REIGN OF KING
00:02:35.88\00:02:40.09
BELSHAZZAR A VISION APPEARED TO
ME - TO ME, DANIEL - AFTER THE
00:02:40.09\00:02:44.89
ONE THAT APPEARED
TO ME THE FIRST TIME.
00:02:44.89\00:02:46.63
I SAW IN THE VISION, AND IT
SO HAPPENED WHILE I WAS LOOKING,
00:02:46.63\00:02:49.76
THAT I WAS IN SHUSHAN,
THE CITADEL, WHICH IS IN THE
00:02:49.76\00:02:52.70
PROVINCE OF ELAM; AND I SAW
IN THE VISION THAT I WAS BY THE
00:02:52.70\00:02:56.40
RIVER ULAI. THEN I
LIFTED MY EYES AND SAW,
00:02:56.40\00:02:58.87
AND THERE, STANDING BESIDE THE
RIVER, WAS A RAM WHICH HAD TWO
00:02:58.87\00:03:02.71
HORNS," - NOW HE STARTS TO
HAVE THIS VISION, HE'S ABOVE THE
00:03:02.71\00:03:07.08
RIVER AND HE SEES THIS RAM AND
HE'S WONDERING 'WHAT DOES THIS
00:03:07.08\00:03:10.05
MEAN?' AND THEN
LATER THERE'S A GOAT.
00:03:10.05\00:03:11.85
IF YOU READ THE PREVIOUS
CHAPTER, HE SAYS, 'I WAS IN
00:03:11.85\00:03:15.09
VISION AND I SAW A LION,
THEN I SAW A BEAR, THEN I SAW A
00:03:15.09\00:03:18.26
LEOPARD.' AND WHILE HE'S
WONDERING WHAT THESE THINGS
00:03:18.26\00:03:20.53
MEAN, THE ANGEL COMES AND
EXPLAINS THAT THESE ANIMALS
00:03:20.53\00:03:25.37
REPRESENT DIFFERENT KINGDOMS
AND EMPIRES THAT WILL HAVE SOME
00:03:25.37\00:03:30.54
DOMINATING INFLUENCE OVER
GOD'S PEOPLE DURING THEIR REIGN.
00:03:30.54\00:03:35.64
HE FORETELLS THE HISTORY.
YOU KNOW, IN DANIEL 2, YOU
00:03:35.64\00:03:39.05
REMEMBER WE STUDIED
THAT? HE GAVE A PANORAMA OF THE
00:03:39.05\00:03:41.48
WORLD'S HISTORY AND THEIR
KINGDOMS THROUGH THAT GIANT
00:03:41.48\00:03:44.62
METAL IMAGE. GOD
OFTEN REPEATS THESE THINGS
00:03:44.62\00:03:47.62
AND USES DIFFERENT PARABLES
AND DREAMS TO GIVE PERSPECTIVE.
00:03:47.62\00:03:53.09
SO NOW IN DANIEL
8, LET'S GO INTO THIS.
00:03:53.09\00:03:55.70
FIRST HE SEES A RAM BY THE RIVER
- TWO HORNS - AND ONE OF THEM
00:03:55.70\00:04:00.87
WAS HIGHER THAN THE OTHER "AND
THE HIGHER ONE CAME UP LAST.
00:04:00.87\00:04:04.37
I SAW THE RAM PUSHING WESTWARD,
NORTHWARD, AND SOUTHWARD, SO
00:04:04.37\00:04:08.14
THAT NO ANIMAL COULD WITHSTAND
HIM; NOR WAS THERE ANY THAT
00:04:08.14\00:04:10.55
COULD DELIVER FROM HIS HAND, BUT
HE DID ACCORDING TO HIS WILL AND
00:04:10.55\00:04:13.68
BECAME GREAT. AND
AS I WAS CONSIDERING,
00:04:13.68\00:04:16.28
SUDDENLY A MALE GOAT CAME FROM
THE WEST, ACROSS THE SURFACE OF
00:04:16.28\00:04:21.26
THE WHOLE EARTH, WITHOUT
TOUCHING THE GROUND; AND THE
00:04:21.26\00:04:24.03
GOAT HAD A NOTABLE HORN BETWEEN
HIS EYES." - ONE NOTABLE HORN -
00:04:24.03\00:04:27.66
"THEN HE CAME TO THE RAM THAT
HAD TWO HORNS, WHICH I HAD SEEN
00:04:27.66\00:04:31.67
STANDING BESIDE THE RIVER, AND
RAN AT HIM WITH FURIOUS POWER.
00:04:31.67\00:04:34.77
AND I SAW HIM CONFRONTING
THE RAM; HE WAS MOVED WITH RAGE
00:04:34.77\00:04:37.84
AGAINST HIM, ATTACKED THE
RAM, AND BROKE HIS TWO HORNS.
00:04:37.84\00:04:41.74
THERE WAS NO POWER IN THE RAM TO
WITHSTAND HIM, BUT HE CAST HIM
00:04:41.74\00:04:45.08
DOWN TO THE GROUND AND TRAMPLED
HIM; AND THERE WAS NO ONE THAT
00:04:45.08\00:04:48.45
COULD DELIVER THE
RAM FROM HIS HAND.
00:04:48.45\00:04:50.25
THEREFORE THE MALE GOAT GREW
VERY GREAT; BUT WHEN HE BECAME
00:04:50.25\00:04:54.56
STRONG, THE LARGE HORN WAS
BROKEN, AND IN PLACE OF IT FOUR
00:04:54.56\00:04:59.53
NOTABLE ONES CAME UP TOWARD
THE FOUR WINDS OF HEAVEN."
00:04:59.53\00:05:03.13
ALRIGHT, WE'VE
GOT TO PAUSE THERE.
00:05:03.13\00:05:04.67
WE'LL COME BACK TO THIS CHAPTER,
BUT I JUST WANTED TO READ IT
00:05:04.67\00:05:06.47
RIGHT FROM THE BIBLE AND
NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO IN AND
00:05:06.47\00:05:08.67
INTERPRET/STUDY WHAT
DOES THIS DREAM MEAN.
00:05:08.67\00:05:11.87
ALRIGHT, QUESTION #1: DANIEL HAS
THIS AMAZING VISION - CHAPTER 8
00:05:11.87\00:05:17.18
- IN WHICH HE SEES
A RAM WITH TWO HORNS.
00:05:17.18\00:05:20.35
WHOM DOES THIS RAM REPRESENT?
LATER IN THE CHAPTER THE ANGEL
00:05:20.35\00:05:24.15
COMES TO DANIEL AND TELLS HIM
- YOU CAN READ IN VERSE 20, "THE
00:05:24.15\00:05:28.52
RAM WHICH YOU SAW, HAVING THE
TWO HORNS - THEY ARE THE KINGS
00:05:28.52\00:05:32.43
OF MEDIA AND PERSIA."
LATER IT SAYS ONE WAS - ONE OF
00:05:32.43\00:05:38.20
THOSE HORNS WAS BIGGER THAN THE
OTHER - IT STARTED OUT WITH THE
00:05:38.20\00:05:40.54
MEDIAN ONE, BUT THEN THE
PERSIAN KINGDOM BECAME GREATER.
00:05:40.54\00:05:44.77
LATER, THAT EMPIRE WAS
JUST CALLED THE PERSIAN EMPIRE
00:05:44.77\00:05:47.24
BECAUSE OF THAT OTHER
HORN. NOW THIS SHOULD ALSO BE
00:05:47.24\00:05:51.11
REMEMBERED THAT IF YOU'RE A JEW,
WHAT DO THEY DO GOING THROUGH
00:05:51.11\00:05:54.25
THE WILDERNESS? WHAT
WAS THEIR OCCUPATION?
00:05:54.25\00:05:56.28
ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB,
JOSEPH, DAVID? SHEPHERDS.
00:05:56.28\00:05:59.39
THEY WERE VERY
FAMILIAR WITH SHEEPS AND GOATS.
00:05:59.39\00:06:02.66
JESUS COMPARED THE JUDGMENT
TO SHEEP AND GOATS AND SO HERE,
00:06:02.66\00:06:07.10
WITH THESE TWO CREATURES,
HE ILLUSTRATES THESE TWO GREAT
00:06:07.10\00:06:10.27
EMPIRES. ALRIGHT,
WE'RE GOING TO JUMP
00:06:10.27\00:06:12.83
RIGHT TO QUESTION #2.
NEXT DANIEL SAW THE GOAT WITH A
00:06:12.83\00:06:16.60
GREAT HORN BETWEEN HIS
EYES. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
00:06:16.60\00:06:20.41
THAT'S TALKING ABOUT THIS GOAT
IS REPRESENTING THE NEXT KING
00:06:20.41\00:06:25.11
AND HE ATTACKS THE RAM. IT
SAYS HE COMES FROM THE WEST.
00:06:25.11\00:06:29.82
THIS IS THE KINGDOM OF
GREECE COMING FROM THE WEST.
00:06:29.82\00:06:33.92
IT SAYS HE COMES VERY QUICKLY,
VERY FIERCELY - THERE IS NO
00:06:33.92\00:06:37.49
HISTORIAN THAT WILL DENY
THAT AMONG THE EMPIRES - ANCIENT
00:06:37.49\00:06:41.30
EMPIRES - NOBODY DID IT QUICKER
THAN ALEXANDER THE GREAT.
00:06:41.30\00:06:44.73
HE WAS 32 WHEN HE DIED.
FROM THE TIME HE WAS 19 UNTIL
00:06:44.73\00:06:48.64
ABOUT 24 HE WAS CONQUERING THE
WORLD. VERY RAPID - HIS SOLDIERS
00:06:48.64\00:06:53.07
MARCHED FASTER AND FARTHER
THAN JUST ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE.
00:06:53.07\00:06:57.05
AND SO THERE'S THIS BATTLE
BETWEEN THE TWO AND THE GOAT
00:06:57.05\00:07:01.08
DESTROYS THE RAM.
ALEXANDER DEFEATED DARIUS AND HE
00:07:01.08\00:07:06.45
CONQUERED THE PERSIAN EMPIRE
AND OVERTOOK THEIR TERRITORY.
00:07:06.45\00:07:10.03
DANIEL 8, VERSE 21 AND 22, "THE
ROUGH GOAT" - THE ANGEL TELLS US
00:07:10.03\00:07:15.00
- DO WE HAVE TO
GUESS WHAT IT IS?
00:07:15.00\00:07:16.43
- "THE ROUGH GOAT IS THE KING OF
(GREECE) GRECIA:" - IS HOW THEY
00:07:16.43\00:07:20.34
SAID IT IN THE KING JAMES - "AND
THE GREAT HORN THAT IS BETWEEN
00:07:20.34\00:07:23.30
HIS EYES IS THE FIRST
KING." NOW THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT
00:07:23.30\00:07:27.21
HAPPENED WITH
ALEXANDER THE GREAT.
00:07:27.21\00:07:30.11
IT SAYS HE CAME FROM THE WEST -
THAT'S WHERE HE CAME FROM, WHEN
00:07:30.11\00:07:32.15
YOU'RE GOING TO FIGHT PERSIA
- AND HE DID IT WITH FEROCITY.
00:07:32.15\00:07:35.42
HE DID IT WITH GREAT SPEED.
IN THE PRIOR CHAPTER - CHAPTER 7
00:07:35.42\00:07:39.22
OF DANIEL, GREECE IS COMPARED
TO A LEOPARD WITH FOUR WINGS
00:07:39.22\00:07:41.99
BECAUSE HIS FEET
DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH THE GROUND.
00:07:41.99\00:07:44.19
HE WENT SO QUICKLY
WITH HIS CONQUERING.
00:07:44.19\00:07:47.83
CONSIDERING THEY DID NOT HAVE
MECHANIZED ARMIES BACK THEN, NO
00:07:47.83\00:07:50.43
ARMY MOVED FASTER IN HISTORY
THAN ALEXANDER THE GREAT'S ARMY.
00:07:50.43\00:07:54.04
IT WAS JUST INCREDIBLE.
00:07:54.04\00:07:55.27
AND THEN IT SAYS THAT AT
THE HEIGHT OF ITS POWER, IN ITS
00:07:55.27\00:07:59.74
PRIME, THE HORN - THE MAIN,
PRINCIPLE HORN IS BROKEN OFF.
00:07:59.74\00:08:05.05
IT DOESN'T WEAR DOWN, IT
SNAPS. ALEXANDER DIED SUDDENLY.
00:08:05.05\00:08:10.19
THOUGH HE COULD CONQUER THE
WORLD, HE DIDN'T DO VERY WELL
00:08:10.19\00:08:12.79
CONQUERING HIMSELF.
AND THEY'RE STILL NOT SURE.
00:08:12.79\00:08:14.66
THEY DON'T - IT WAS AFTER A
NIGHT OF PRETTY ROWDY DRINKING
00:08:14.66\00:08:17.63
HE FELL ILL. THEY
DON'T KNOW IF SOMEONE TRIED
00:08:17.63\00:08:19.86
TO POISON HIM.
THEY'RE STILL NOT SURE AND WE
00:08:19.86\00:08:22.03
MAY NEVER KNOW UNTIL
HEAVEN WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED.
00:08:22.03\00:08:24.53
THEY DON'T KNOW IF IT
WAS MALARIA. IT WAS A FEVER.
00:08:24.53\00:08:28.14
THEY DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS
ALCOHOL POISONING, BUT VERY
00:08:28.14\00:08:32.01
YOUNG HE DIED. AND ON
HIS DEATH BED, I THINK I
00:08:32.01\00:08:35.08
TOLD YOU, HIS WIFE ASKED HIM
'WHO WILL RULE IN YOUR PLACE?'
00:08:35.08\00:08:38.21
AND HE SAID, 'THE STRONGEST.'
AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
00:08:38.21\00:08:42.48
IT SAYS OUT OF THE PLACE OF THAT
- YOU CAN READ HERE IN THIS NEXT
00:08:42.48\00:08:45.65
SECTION - "NOW THAT BEING
BROKEN, WHEREAS FOUR STOOD UP
00:08:45.65\00:08:49.79
FOR IT, FOUR KINGDOMS SHALL
STAND UP OUT OF THE NATION."
00:08:49.79\00:08:54.93
THE FOUR PRINCIPLE GENERALS OF
ALEXANDER THE GREAT THEN DIVIDED
00:08:54.93\00:08:58.77
HIS EMPIRE AMONG
THEM INTO FOUR REGIONS.
00:08:58.77\00:09:02.50
AND THEN THEY EVENTUALLY
BEGAN TO FIGHT AMONG THEMSELVES.
00:09:02.50\00:09:06.14
BUT THE KINGDOM OF GREECE
THEN LASTED LONGER EVEN THAN THE
00:09:06.14\00:09:10.11
KINGDOM OF PERSIA.
QUESTION #3: THEN, AS YOU READ
00:09:10.11\00:09:14.62
ON IT SAYS OUT OF ONE OF THOSE
FOUR HORNS A LITTLE HORN BEGINS
00:09:14.62\00:09:20.36
TO SPROUT AND IT ENDS UP
BECOMING A VERY BIG POWER.
00:09:20.36\00:09:25.76
WHAT POWER DID THIS
LITTLE HORN REPRESENT?
00:09:25.76\00:09:28.83
YOU CAN SEE THE FULFILLMENT OF
THIS DURING THE TIME OF CHRIST.
00:09:28.83\00:09:31.43
WHAT EMPIRE
FOLLOWED THE GREEK EMPIRE?
00:09:31.43\00:09:34.37
>>ROME. >>ROME.
00:09:34.37\00:09:35.70
ACTS 2 - 18:2, RATHER -
"...CLAUDIUS (CAESAR) HAD
00:09:35.70\00:09:39.81
COMMANDED ALL JEWS
TO DEPART FROM ROME."
00:09:39.81\00:09:42.58
HE HAD CONTROL OVER THE WHOLE
EMPIRE AND AT THAT POINT HE WAS
00:09:42.58\00:09:45.55
SUSPICIOUS OF THE JEWS AND
TOLD THEM THEY HAD TO LEAVE.
00:09:45.55\00:09:48.75
SO YOU'VE GOT THIS GOAT
- JUST TO REVIEW - AND THE
00:09:48.75\00:09:52.49
PRINCIPLE POWER IS
ALEXANDER THE GREAT.
00:09:52.49\00:09:54.72
IT'S BROKEN OFF AND, FROM IT,
FOUR COME UP - FOUR OTHER HORNS
00:09:54.72\00:09:58.19
- FOUR DIVISIONS - FOUR GENERALS
OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT AND ONE
00:09:58.19\00:10:03.43
LITTLE HORN BEGINS TO
COME UP FROM AMONG THESE.
00:10:03.43\00:10:06.67
BUT NOW THERE'S SOMETHING
DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS POWER.
00:10:06.67\00:10:09.07
THIS POWER IS ONE WE WANT TO
NOTICE BECAUSE YOU READ ON, IT
00:10:09.07\00:10:12.21
GROWS INTO WHAT WE LATER
KNOW AS THE ANTICHRIST POWER.
00:10:12.21\00:10:16.34
YOU READ IN DANIEL 7, VERSE 8,
"...IN THE HORN WERE EYES LIKE
00:10:16.34\00:10:21.38
THE EYES OF MAN, AND A
MOUTH SPEAKING GREAT THINGS."
00:10:21.38\00:10:26.69
THERE'S SOMETHING
DIFFERENT ABOUT IT.
00:10:26.69\00:10:29.32
IT - LATER IT SAYS IT'S GUILTY
OF BLASPHEMY - POMPOUS WORDS.
00:10:29.32\00:10:35.66
AND IT TALKS ABOUT THIS ALSO
IN REVELATION CHAPTER 17 - WHAT
00:10:35.66\00:10:39.73
THIS POWER DOES.
DANIEL CHAPTER 7, VERSE 24
00:10:39.73\00:10:43.27
"HE IS DIVERSE, OR
DIFFERENT FROM, THE FIRST."
00:10:43.27\00:10:47.78
THE FIRST KINGDOMS THAT WE
SAW, WHETHER IT'S BABYLON, OR
00:10:47.78\00:10:52.61
MEDO-PERSIA, AND GREECE - THEY
WERE YOUR TYPICAL MONARCHIES LED
00:10:52.61\00:10:56.32
BY A GOVERNMENT. BUT
WHAT HAPPENED WITH ROME,
00:10:56.32\00:10:58.62
ROME NOT ONLY WAS THE IRON
MONARCHY, AS THE ROMAN EMPIRE
00:10:58.62\00:11:02.42
LED BY CAESARS BEGAN TO FALL, IN
ITS PLACE, THE ROMAN POWER WAS
00:11:02.42\00:11:08.43
SUBSTITUTED WITH A RELIGIOUS
POWER. GRADUALLY, AS THE ROMAN
00:11:08.43\00:11:13.37
POWER BEGAN TO CRUMBLE,
THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH GREW.
00:11:13.37\00:11:15.44
BUT IT DIDN'T JUST STAY A
RELIGION, IT BECAME A POLITICAL
00:11:15.44\00:11:19.11
RELIGIOUS POWER AS WELL.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
00:11:19.11\00:11:23.18
QUESTION #4: DANIEL WAS
TOLD THAT THIS LITTLE HORN WOULD
00:11:23.18\00:11:26.95
DEFILE THE SANCTUARY. HOW
LONG WOULD IT BE UNTIL THE
00:11:26.95\00:11:31.32
SANCTUARY WAS CLEANSED?
NOW WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO THE
00:11:31.32\00:11:34.36
LONGEST TIME
PROPHECY IN THE BIBLE.
00:11:34.36\00:11:36.52
AND YOU READ IN DANIEL 8, VERSE
14, "UNTO" - SAY IT WITH ME -
00:11:36.52\00:11:40.50
"TWO THOUSAND AND THREE HUNDRED
DAYS; THEN SHALL THE SANCTUARY
00:11:40.50\00:11:45.50
BE CLEANSED." NOW GO - GO BACK
TO YOUR BIBLES FOR A SECOND.
00:11:45.50\00:11:48.70
IF YOU LOOK IN DANIEL CHAPTER 8
AND IF WE READ DOWN HERE - VERSE
00:11:48.70\00:11:54.41
12 - "BECAUSE OF TRANSGRESSION,
AN ARMY WAS GIVEN OVER TO THE
00:11:54.41\00:11:58.95
HORN TO OPPOSE THE DAILY
SACRIFICES; AND HE CAST TRUTH
00:11:58.95\00:12:02.88
DOWN TO THE GROUND. HE
DID ALL THIS AND PROSPERED."
00:12:02.88\00:12:09.69
SO WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THE TRUTH
OF GOD AND THE TRUTH OF THE
00:12:09.69\00:12:13.76
BIBLE AND THE TRUTH
OF JESUS DURING THIS TIME
00:12:13.76\00:12:15.73
BECOMES COMPROMISED
AND YET IT PROSPERS.
00:12:15.73\00:12:19.37
WELL, I'M GOING TO GIVE
YOU A LITTLE QUICK HISTORY.
00:12:19.37\00:12:22.07
I WON'T DIVERGE ON THIS, BUT
I THINK MOST OF US KNOW THAT,
00:12:22.07\00:12:27.18
DURING THIS PERIOD OF TIME,
YOU KNOW, ABOUT THREE OR FOUR
00:12:27.18\00:12:31.25
HUNDRED YEARS AFTER CHRIST,
ORIGINALLY CHRISTIANS WERE
00:12:31.25\00:12:34.38
PERSECUTED IN ROME.
THEY FED THEM TO THE LIONS,
00:12:34.38\00:12:37.39
RIGHT? I USED TO WONDER AS A
KID. I'D HEAR HOW THEY BURNED
00:12:37.39\00:12:39.99
CHRISTIANS AT THE STAKE AND
THEY FED THEM TO THE LIONS - YOU
00:12:39.99\00:12:43.96
KNOW, THEY MADE JOKES
ABOUT THAT ALL THE TIME.
00:12:43.96\00:12:46.29
AND THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN,
ROME BECOMES THE CENTER OF
00:12:46.29\00:12:49.00
CHRISTIANITY. AND
YOU GO, 'WHAT HAPPENED?
00:12:49.00\00:12:51.03
I THOUGHT THAT THEY WEREN'T
ALLOWED THERE AND THEN ALL OF
00:12:51.03\00:12:52.77
A SUDDEN IT
BECOMES HEADQUARTERS.
00:12:52.77\00:12:54.54
SOMETHING
OBVIOUSLY CHANGED, RIGHT?
00:12:54.54\00:12:56.77
AND REALLY, WHAT HAPPENED
WAS, WITH THE CONVERSION OF
00:12:56.77\00:13:00.78
CONSTANTINE - I'LL SAY MORE
ABOUT THIS LATER, WHAT WAS ONCE
00:13:00.78\00:13:04.41
CONSIDERED RELIGIO-ILLICITA
- FORBIDDEN RELIGION - WAS
00:13:04.41\00:13:07.92
PERSECUTED, OUTLAWED - THEY WERE
KILLED. THEY BUILT CATACOMBS.
00:13:07.92\00:13:11.22
THEY WENT UNDERGROUND -
IT SUDDENLY BECAME THE STATE
00:13:11.22\00:13:14.36
RELIGION AND IT ALMOST OVERNIGHT
BECAME FASHIONABLE, WITH THE
00:13:14.36\00:13:17.53
CONVERSION OF CONSTANTINE,
TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN.
00:13:17.53\00:13:20.66
BUT WHAT HAPPENED IS A LOT OF
PEOPLE STARTED COMING INTO THE
00:13:20.66\00:13:23.67
CHURCH FROM THE DIFFERENT
GRECO-ROMAN RELIGIONS THAT
00:13:23.67\00:13:26.40
WEREN'T TOTALLY CONVERTED -
DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE TEACHINGS
00:13:26.40\00:13:29.57
OF JESUS - AND THEY TRIED TO
BRING SOME OF THEIR PAGAN IDEAS
00:13:29.57\00:13:31.94
WITH THEM. WE
STUDIED THE OTHER NIGHT ABOUT
00:13:31.94\00:13:35.14
THE TRUTH ABOUT HELL - THAT
PEOPLE DO NOT GO RIGHT AT DEATH
00:13:35.14\00:13:40.58
TO - BEFORE JUDGMENT OR
RESURRECTION - A PLACE OF
00:13:40.58\00:13:43.39
BURNING WHERE THEY BURN THROUGH
ALL ETERNITY. DID WE - WE
00:13:43.39\00:13:45.65
LEARNED THERE IS A LAKE OF
FIRE, THERE IS A PUNISHMENT, BUT
00:13:45.65\00:13:47.92
THERE'S MISUNDERSTANDING THAT
CAME IN FROM GREEK MYTHOLOGY,
00:13:47.92\00:13:51.33
RIGHT? CAST THE TRUTH
TO THE GROUND IN PRACTICE.
00:13:51.33\00:13:54.83
THE IDEA OF PURGATORY, THIS
HALFWAY BURNING PLACE, WE FOUND
00:13:54.83\00:13:58.07
OUT THAT THAT'S BEEN
RENOUNCED. IT'S NOT BIBLICAL.
00:13:58.07\00:14:00.80
THERE'S NOTHING IN
THE BIBLE ABOUT THAT.
00:14:00.80\00:14:02.30
THE IDEA THAT THE DEAD GO
IMMEDIATELY TO HEAVEN AS SOON AS
00:14:02.30\00:14:05.71
THEY DIE AND THEN THEY COME BACK
FOR THEIR BODIES OR THEY'RE IN
00:14:05.71\00:14:08.88
ABRAHAM'S BOSOM WAITING.
WE FOUND OUT THAT'S NOT IN THE
00:14:08.88\00:14:11.88
BIBLE AND A LOT OF OTHER THINGS
- THE TRUTH WAS CAST TO THE
00:14:11.88\00:14:16.08
GROUND. THE IDEA
THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO
00:14:16.08\00:14:18.65
KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
ANYMORE BECAUSE ONCE YOU BELIEVE
00:14:18.65\00:14:21.36
IN JESUS YOU CAN SOMEHOW IGNORE
HIS LAW, THAT'S ANOTHER ONE OF
00:14:21.36\00:14:25.76
THE TRUTHS THAT
WAS CAST TO THE GROUND.
00:14:25.76\00:14:27.76
ALL KINDS OF THINGS BEGAN TO
GET CORRUPTED DURING THIS TIME.
00:14:27.76\00:14:30.70
SO, WHEN WOULD THERE BE A
CLEANSING OF THE SANCTUARY?
00:14:30.70\00:14:35.57
ALRIGHT, QUESTION #5: HOW DID
DANIEL RESPOND WHEN HE SAW THIS
00:14:35.57\00:14:39.37
LITTLE HORN POWER PERSECUTE
GOD'S PEOPLE AND OBSCURE THE
00:14:39.37\00:14:43.01
TRUTH? WHEN
DANIEL WAS GETTING THIS
00:14:43.01\00:14:45.91
INFORMATION ABOUT THIS VISION
FROM THE ANGEL, HE JUST - HE
00:14:45.91\00:14:50.49
SEES WHAT'S HAPPENING TO HIS
OWN PEOPLE AND HE'S HEARTBROKEN.
00:14:50.49\00:14:52.95
AND IT SAYS IN DANIEL 8:27, "AND
I, DANIEL, FAINTED AND WAS SICK
00:14:52.95\00:14:58.76
FOR DAYS;" - HE'S AN OLDER
MAN NOW, YOU KNOW, HE CAME TO
00:14:58.76\00:15:03.23
BABYLON PROBABLY 15 - 16 YEARS
OLD - SEVENTY YEARS HAVE GONE
00:15:03.23\00:15:06.07
BY. HE'S IN HIS 80S, MAYBE EVEN
00:15:06.07\00:15:08.60
LONGER, AND HE HAS THIS VERY
HEAVY VISION OF GOD'S PEOPLE
00:15:08.60\00:15:12.87
BEING PERSECUTED BY THIS
ANTICHRIST POWER AND IT - HE
00:15:12.87\00:15:17.68
ACTUALLY SWOONS, PRACTICALLY.
HE'S SICK AND HE CAN'T
00:15:17.68\00:15:20.82
UNDERSTAND IT AND THE ANGEL
KNOWS HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO
00:15:20.82\00:15:23.25
COME BACK AND FINISH
EXPLAINING THIS PROPHECY.
00:15:23.25\00:15:25.22
IT'S FINISHED IN
DANIEL CHAPTER 9.
00:15:25.22\00:15:28.56
NOW YOU CAN UNDERSTAND,
DANIEL IS A YOUNG MAN.
00:15:28.56\00:15:32.26
BEFORE HE IS CARRIED OFF CAPTIVE
TO BABYLON, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
00:15:32.26\00:15:38.47
BUILDING IN THE WORLD WAS NOT
THE TAJ MAHAL BACK THEN, IT WAS
00:15:38.47\00:15:42.10
NOT EVEN THE HANGING GARDENS.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BUILDING IN
00:15:42.10\00:15:45.01
THE WORLD WAS A MULTI-BILLION
DOLLAR BUILDING BUILT BY DAVID,
00:15:45.01\00:15:49.04
WHO GATHERED THE MONEY
AND HIS SON SOLOMON DID THE
00:15:49.04\00:15:52.18
CONSTRUCTION. IT
HAD GOLDEN ROOMS.
00:15:52.18\00:15:56.22
IT HAD BRONZE PILLARS
BIGGER THAN ANY IN THE WORLD.
00:15:56.22\00:15:58.95
THEY EVEN NAMED THEM - TWO
PILLARS THEY WERE SO BIG - AND
00:15:58.95\00:16:02.46
DANIEL GREW UP AS A BOY
SEEING THIS MAJESTIC TEMPLE.
00:16:02.46\00:16:06.83
IT WAS ONE OF THE
WONDERS OF THE WORLD.
00:16:06.83\00:16:09.20
BUT HE LIVED LONG ENOUGH
TO KNOW THAT IT WAS DESTROYED.
00:16:09.20\00:16:12.73
HE WATCHED - DANIEL WATCHED
AS HIS PEOPLE WERE CONQUERED.
00:16:12.73\00:16:15.24
THE CITY WAS DESTROYED -
JERUSALEM - THE PLACE THAT GOD
00:16:15.24\00:16:18.07
HAD CHOSEN, DAVID HAD RULED.
THEY WERE SCATTERED AS SLAVES -
00:16:18.07\00:16:22.31
MANY WERE SLAIN - AND THE
YEARNING OF DANIEL'S HEART FOR
00:16:22.31\00:16:25.68
THE SEVENTY YEARS HE WAS IN
BABYLON: 'WHEN WILL THE MESSIAH
00:16:25.68\00:16:29.08
COME? WHEN WILL
THE SON OF DAVID COME?
00:16:29.08\00:16:31.02
WHEN WILL WE GET TO GO BACK TO
JERUSALEM?' AT THE BEGINNING OF
00:16:31.02\00:16:34.96
DANIEL 9 IT ACTUALLY SAYS
DANIEL IS READING THE BIBLE.
00:16:34.96\00:16:39.23
NOW HE DIDN'T HAVE THE SAME
BIBLE WE HAVE, BUT HE HAD THE
00:16:39.23\00:16:41.46
PROPHECIES OF JEREMIAH, ISAIAH,
DAVID - ALL THE PRIOR PROPHETS.
00:16:41.46\00:16:47.24
DANIEL IS READING THE PROPHECY
OF JEREMIAH - HE TELLS YOU IN
00:16:47.24\00:16:50.61
CHAPTER 9 - AND HE REALIZES
THERE JEREMIAH SAYS SEVENTY
00:16:50.61\00:16:53.74
YEARS AND GOD'S PEOPLE WILL COME
BACK AND DANIEL SAYS, 'LORD,
00:16:53.74\00:16:56.51
SEVENTY YEARS IS UP. THE
KING OF PERSIA IS NOW HERE.
00:16:56.51\00:16:58.98
WHEN ARE WE GOING HOME?'
00:16:58.98\00:17:00.58
WHILE HE'S PRAYING, THE ANGEL
GABRIEL COMES TO HIM AND HE
00:17:00.58\00:17:06.09
SAYS, 'DANIEL, I'VE COME TO
GIVE YOU UNDERSTANDING IN THE
00:17:06.09\00:17:09.16
VISION.' AND HERE
- HERE YOU HAVE THAT.
00:17:09.16\00:17:11.16
HE SAYS, "AT THE BEGINNING OF
YOUR SUPPLICATIONS THE COMMAND
00:17:11.16\00:17:14.76
WENT OUT, AND I HAVE COME
TO TELL YOU," - SO ANGEL - THE
00:17:14.76\00:17:17.20
ANGEL GABRIEL HAS COME TO
EXPLAIN THE VISION. WHAT VISION?
00:17:17.20\00:17:20.14
THE ONE HE STARTED HAVING
IN CHAPTER 8 BUT HE FAINTED.
00:17:20.14\00:17:23.34
SO THIS IS THE ONE THAT'S
ACTUALLY INTRODUCING THE COMING
00:17:23.34\00:17:27.11
OF THE MESSIAH - THE
FIRST COMING OF JESUS.
00:17:27.11\00:17:30.71
QUESTION #6: IN THE NEXT CHAPTER
THE ANGEL EXPLAINS THE PROPHECY
00:17:30.71\00:17:35.95
IN GREATER DETAIL. HOW
LONG WAS THE TIME PERIOD NOT
00:17:35.95\00:17:39.75
PREVIOUSLY
DESCRIBED IN THE VISION?
00:17:39.75\00:17:42.96
NOW GET YOUR BIBLES,
TURN WITH ME TO DANIEL 9:23.
00:17:42.96\00:17:48.20
"AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR
SUPPLICATIONS THE COMMAND WENT
00:17:48.20\00:17:51.37
OUT, AND I HAVE COME TO
TELL YOU, FOR YOU ARE GREATLY
00:17:51.37\00:17:54.77
BELOVED;" - WHY ANGELS ARE FAST.
AT THE BEGINNING OF DANIEL'S
00:17:54.77\00:17:58.41
PRAYER, GABRIEL IS SENT.
ANGEL'S DON'T TRAVEL THE SPEED
00:17:58.41\00:18:01.64
OF SOUND OR THE SPEED OF LIGHT,
THEY TRAVEL THE SPEED OF ANGELS
00:18:01.64\00:18:07.02
- THE SPEED OF THOUGHT,
ANYWAY, THEY'RE GOING FAST.
00:18:07.02\00:18:09.25
HE'S GOING THROUGH THE COSMOS
- "AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR
00:18:09.25\00:18:12.59
SUPPLICATIONS THE COMMAND WENT
OUT, AND I HAVE COME TO TELL
00:18:12.59\00:18:15.02
YOU, FOR YOU ARE GREATLY
BELOVED; THEREFORE CONSIDER THE
00:18:15.02\00:18:16.93
MATTER AND UNDERSTAND THE
VISION:" NOW THERE'S NO VISION
00:18:16.93\00:18:19.83
IN CHAPTER 9 SO WHAT VISION
IS THE ANGEL TALKING ABOUT?
00:18:19.83\00:18:23.10
THE ONE IN CHAPTER 8 HE DIDN'T
GET TO FINISH EXPLAINING BECAUSE
00:18:23.10\00:18:26.50
DANIEL FAINTED, RIGHT?
"SEVENTY WEEKS" - HERE WE GO,
00:18:26.50\00:18:30.71
VERSE 24 - DANIEL 9:24 -
"SEVENTY WEEKS ARE DETERMINED
00:18:30.71\00:18:34.51
FOR YOUR PEOPLE" -
WHO ARE DANIEL'S PEOPLE?
00:18:34.51\00:18:36.78
JEWISH NATION - "SEVENTY WEEKS"
- THE WORD DETERMINED THERE
00:18:36.78\00:18:40.98
MEANS 'CUT OFF' OR 'ALLOTTED' OR
'REMAIN' - "FOR YOUR PEOPLE" -
00:18:40.98\00:18:44.29
FOR WHAT? TO
INTRODUCE THE MESSIAH TO THE
00:18:44.29\00:18:46.86
WORLD - "FOR YOUR HOLY CITY,
TO FINISH THE TRANSGRESSION, TO
00:18:46.86\00:18:52.59
MAKE AN END OF SINS," - THE
FINAL SACRIFICE FOR SIN WOULD BE
00:18:52.59\00:18:55.63
OFFERED - "TO MAKE
RECONCILIATION FOR INIQUITY, TO
00:18:55.63\00:18:59.37
BRING IN EVERLASTING
RIGHTEOUSNESS" - THAT'S CHRIST
00:18:59.37\00:19:02.70
WHO BRINGS THAT EVERLASTING
RIGHTEOUSNESS - "TO SEAL UP
00:19:02.70\00:19:05.14
VISION AND PROPHECY, AND
TO ANOINT THE MOST HOLY."
00:19:05.14\00:19:11.15
YOU KNOW WHAT THE
WORD CHRIST MEANS?
00:19:11.15\00:19:13.31
ANOINTED. YOU KNOW
WHAT THE WORD MESSIAH
00:19:13.31\00:19:16.28
MEANS? IT'S HEBREW FOR ANOINTED.
00:19:16.28\00:19:19.42
WHEN THE PROPHET SAMUEL POURED
OIL ON DAVID'S HEAD, HE WAS
00:19:19.42\00:19:24.06
ANOINTED WITH OIL - JESUS WAS
ANOINTED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:19:24.06\00:19:27.86
HE WAS THE ANOINTED OF GOD
WHEN GOD BECAME A MAN, OKAY?
00:19:27.86\00:19:31.93
SO HE SAID SEVENTY WEEKS ARE
DETERMINED FOR ALL THESE THINGS
00:19:31.93\00:19:33.90
TO BE ACCOMPLISHED.
KNOW AND UNDERSTAND.
00:19:33.90\00:19:36.50
NOW HERE'S THE STARTING POINT
FOR ALL THESE PROPHECIES - VERSE
00:19:36.50\00:19:39.84
25 - "KNOW THEREFORE AND
UNDERSTAND, THAT FROM THE GOING
00:19:39.84\00:19:42.41
FORTH OF THE COMMAND TO RESTORE
AND BUILD JERUSALEM UNTIL
00:19:42.41\00:19:45.98
MESSIAH THE PRINCE, THERE SHALL
BE SEVEN WEEKS AND SIXTY-TWO
00:19:45.98\00:19:52.62
WEEKS;" THAT'S A TOTAL OF
69 - "THE STREET SHALL BE BUILT
00:19:52.62\00:19:56.62
AGAIN, AND THE WALL,
EVEN IN TROUBLESOME TIMES."
00:19:56.62\00:19:59.13
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED
DURING THE TIME OF NEHEMIAH.
00:19:59.13\00:20:00.90
THEY REBUILT THE STREET AND
THE WALL DURING TROUBLOUS TIMES.
00:20:00.90\00:20:03.23
"AND AFTER THE SIXTY-TWO WEEKS
MESSIAH SHALL BE CUT OFF, BUT
00:20:03.23\00:20:09.04
NOT FOR HIMSELF; AND THE PEOPLE
OF THE PRINCE WHO IS TO COME
00:20:09.04\00:20:12.74
SHALL DESTROY THE
CITY AND THE SANCTUARY.
00:20:12.74\00:20:15.64
THE END OF IT SHALL BE WITH
A FLOOD, AND TILL THE END OF
00:20:15.64\00:20:18.98
THE WAR
DESOLATIONS ARE DETERMINED."
00:20:18.98\00:20:21.15
JESUS TALKS ABOUT THE
ABOMINATION THAT MAKES DESOLATE.
00:20:21.15\00:20:24.05
"THEN HE SHALL CONFIRM A
COVENANT WITH MANY FOR ONE
00:20:24.05\00:20:27.46
WEEK;" - NOW THE 'HE' THAT
CONFIRMS THE COVENANT - THERE'S
00:20:27.46\00:20:31.43
TWO PEOPLE HERE - ONE YOU'VE GOT
MESSIAH THE PRINCE COMING, THE
00:20:31.43\00:20:33.86
OTHER YOU'VE GOT A PRINCE
THAT COMES TO DESTROY. 27 - HE'S
00:20:33.86\00:20:36.80
GOING BACK TO THE MESSIAH
THE PRINCE. HE WILL "CONFIRM A
00:20:36.80\00:20:40.30
COVENANT WITH MANY FOR ONE WEEK;
BUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK
00:20:40.30\00:20:43.14
HE SHALL BRING AN END
TO SACRIFICE AND OFFERING.
00:20:43.14\00:20:46.01
AND ON THE WING OF ABOMINATION
SHALL BE ONE WHO MAKES DESOLATE,
00:20:46.01\00:20:48.88
EVEN UNTIL THE CONSUMMATION,
WHICH IS DETERMINED, IS POURED
00:20:48.88\00:20:52.25
OUT ON THE DESOLATE." SO
WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS.
00:20:52.25\00:20:55.15
JESUS SAID, IN MATTHEW 24
- SECOND COMING - JESUS TALKS
00:20:55.15\00:20:59.35
ABOUT THE ABOMINATION OF
DESOLATION. HE SAYS 'WRITTEN OF
00:20:59.35\00:21:01.86
BY DANIEL THE
PROPHET. WHOEVER READS, LET HIM
00:21:01.86\00:21:04.86
UNDERSTAND.' JESUS IS TELLING
YOU AND ME TONIGHT, 'I WANT YOU
00:21:04.86\00:21:07.83
TO READ AND
UNDERSTAND THIS.' OKAY?
00:21:07.83\00:21:09.83
SO THIS IS THE PROPHECIES HE WAS
REFERRING TO IN MATTHEW 24 THAT
00:21:09.83\00:21:14.07
HE SAYS WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND.
ALRIGHT, WE JUST READ IT.
00:21:14.07\00:21:16.64
NOW LET'S GO BACK
TO OUR SCREEN HERE.
00:21:16.64\00:21:18.74
IN THE NEXT CHAPTER, CHAPTER
9, THE ANGEL EXPLAINS THAT THE
00:21:18.74\00:21:23.41
PROPHECY - FROM
CHAPTER 8 - IN GREATER DETAIL.
00:21:23.41\00:21:26.95
HOW LONG WAS THE TIME PERIOD
NOT PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED IN THE
00:21:26.95\00:21:30.95
VISION? YOU CAN READ THAT IN
DANIEL 9:24. HE SAYS, HOW MUCH?
00:21:30.95\00:21:35.72
"SEVENTY WEEKS ARE DETERMINED
UPON THY PEOPLE AND UPON THE
00:21:35.72\00:21:40.86
HOLY CITY TO SEAL UP THE
VISION AND THE PROPHECY."
00:21:40.86\00:21:42.70
NOW HOW MANY DAYS
IN A WEEK? >>SEVEN.
00:21:42.70\00:21:46.74
>>SEVEN IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THAT
WAY. HOW MANY DAYS IS SEVENTY
00:21:46.74\00:21:51.01
WEEKS THEN?
SEVEN TIMES SEVEN IS?
00:21:51.01\00:21:53.68
>>SEVENTY-NINE.
>>FORTY-NINE? THAT IS FOUR
00:21:53.68\00:21:57.11
HUNDRED AND NINETY, RIGHT? BUT
IN PROPHECY A DAY EQUALS A YEAR.
00:21:57.11\00:22:04.25
I'LL SHOW YOU SOME SCRIPTURES
ON THAT IN JUST A MINUTE.
00:22:04.25\00:22:06.59
SO GOD IS TELLING DANIEL THERE
ARE FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY
00:22:06.59\00:22:10.39
PROPHETIC YEARS THAT ARE GOING
TO BE ALLOTTED TO YOUR PEOPLE TO
00:22:10.39\00:22:13.23
FULFILL THEIR MAIN VISION - THE
MAIN MISSION OF THE JEWS WAS TO
00:22:13.23\00:22:16.33
INTRODUCE THE MESSIAH.
GOD SAID TO ABRAHAM, THROUGH
00:22:16.33\00:22:19.40
YOUR SEED ALL THE
WORLD WOULD BE BLESSED.
00:22:19.40\00:22:22.04
HOW IS THE WHOLE WORLD
BLESSED THROUGH HIS SEED?
00:22:22.04\00:22:24.34
PRINCIPALLY
THROUGH JESUS, RIGHT?
00:22:24.34\00:22:26.14
ALRIGHT, SO QUESTION #7: WHAT
IS THE STARTING POINT FOR THE
00:22:26.14\00:22:31.18
2,300-DAY AND
SEVENTY-WEEK TIME PROPHECIES?
00:22:31.18\00:22:35.88
HE TELLS YOU RIGHT THERE
IN DANIEL CHAPTER 9, VERSE 25,
00:22:35.88\00:22:39.29
"KNOW THEREFORE AND UNDERSTAND,
THAT FROM THE GOING FORTH OF THE
00:22:39.29\00:22:42.92
COMMANDMENT TO RESTORE AND BUILD
JERUSALEM UNTIL MESSIAH THE
00:22:42.92\00:22:48.06
PRINCE" - FROM THIS POINT
TO THIS POINT - "THERE SHALL BE
00:22:48.06\00:22:51.40
SEVEN WEEKS AND THREE-SCORE AND
TWO WEEKS" - THREE SCORE AND TWO
00:22:51.40\00:22:55.37
IS SIXTY-TWO,
RIGHT? A SCORE IS TWENTY.
00:22:55.37\00:22:57.74
SIXTY-TWO PLUS
SEVEN IS HOW MUCH?
00:22:57.74\00:23:01.38
SIXTY-NINE. SO
YOU'VE GOT ONE WEEK MISSING.
00:23:01.38\00:23:04.28
HE TELLS US WHAT HAPPENS IN
THE MIDST OF THAT LAST WEEK - HE
00:23:04.28\00:23:07.62
MAKES THE SACRIFICE CEASE.
SO HE BREAKS IT UP LIKE THAT
00:23:07.62\00:23:10.52
BECAUSE THERE'S
THE FIRST SEVEN WEEKS.
00:23:10.52\00:23:12.92
THEY'RE BUILDING
THE WALL AND THE STREET.
00:23:12.92\00:23:14.46
THEN YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER
SIXTY-NINE WEEKS AND AT THE END
00:23:14.46\00:23:17.09
OF THAT SIXTY-NINE WEEK PERIOD
IT SAYS THAT THE MESSIAH IS
00:23:17.09\00:23:21.33
GOING TO BE ANOINTED
AND BEGIN HIS MINISTRY.
00:23:21.33\00:23:26.37
SO UNTIL MESSIAH THE PRINCE,
SEVEN WEEKS - THREE SCORE AND
00:23:26.37\00:23:30.47
TWO WEEKS. THE
STARTING POINT IS FROM THE
00:23:30.47\00:23:32.37
GOING FORTH OF THE COMMAND
TO RESTORE AND BUILD JERUSALEM.
00:23:32.37\00:23:35.51
CAN WE KNOW, FROM ALL THE DUSTY,
MUSTY RECORDS OF HISTORY, WHEN
00:23:35.51\00:23:38.95
DID THAT HAPPEN? GOOD NEWS.
00:23:38.95\00:23:41.52
IT'S GIVEN IN YOUR
BIBLE. IT'S IN EZRA 7:7.
00:23:41.52\00:23:45.45
YOU CAN REMEMBER
THAT. GOOD NUMBER.
00:23:45.45\00:23:47.56
EZRA 7:7 - THE DECREE OF KING
ARTAXERXES - THAT KING GAVE A
00:23:47.56\00:23:53.56
DECREE THAT
ALLOWED THEM TO GO BACK.
00:23:53.56\00:23:55.40
IT WAS THE MOST PROMINENT
VARIETY OF DECREES THAT CAME
00:23:55.40\00:23:59.83
SAYING THAT THEY COULD
REBUILD THE CITY AND THE WALLS
00:23:59.83\00:24:03.00
AND THE TEMPLE
AND THAT IS 457 B.C.
00:24:03.00\00:24:07.18
IT IS A VERY CLEARLY
ESTABLISHED DATE IN HISTORY.
00:24:07.18\00:24:09.94
SO YOU'VE GOT THE STARTING POINT
- 457 - AND HE SAYS NOW IT'LL BE
00:24:09.94\00:24:14.35
SIXTY-NINE WEEKS UNTIL THE
MESSIAH BEGINS HIS MINISTRY.
00:24:14.35\00:24:18.39
FIRST THERE'D BE THE SEVEN WEEKS
- FORTY-NINE YEARS WHILE THEY'RE
00:24:18.39\00:24:21.39
BUILDING THE STREET AND THE WALL
IN TROUBLOUS TIMES, THEN THERE'D
00:24:21.39\00:24:23.96
BE ANOTHER SIXTY-TWO WEEKS -
A TOTAL OF SIXTY-NINE, RIGHT?
00:24:23.96\00:24:28.10
NOW WHEN YOU'RE INTERPRETING
BIBLE PROPHECY, WHAT IS THE
00:24:28.10\00:24:30.67
PRINCIPLE THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO USE? A DAY EQUALS A YEAR.
00:24:30.67\00:24:36.54
>>A YEAR. >>YOU
CAN READ THIS - THERE'S
00:24:36.54\00:24:38.44
SEVERAL VERSES IN EZEKIEL 4:6,
"I HAVE APPOINTED THEE EACH DAY
00:24:38.44\00:24:41.44
FOR A YEAR." YOU CAN READ
NUMBERS 14:34 "EACH DAY FOR A
00:24:41.44\00:24:46.72
YEAR" - EVEN
JESUS ESTABLISHED THIS.
00:24:46.72\00:24:51.05
ONE TIME THEY CAME TO CHRIST
- I THINK IT'S LUKE 13 AND THEY
00:24:51.05\00:24:53.25
SAID, 'YOU BETTER BE CAREFUL,
JESUS, JOHN THE BAPTIST HAS BEEN
00:24:53.25\00:24:56.62
ARRESTED.' THIS WAS ABOUT SIX
MONTHS INTO JESUS' MINISTRY AND
00:24:56.62\00:25:00.63
JESUS SAID, "GO TELL THAT FOX I
TEACH, DO CURES, CAST OUT DEVILS
00:25:00.63\00:25:05.43
TODAY, TOMORROW, AND THE THIRD
DAY I WILL BE PERFECTED" - OR
00:25:05.43\00:25:10.67
COMPLETED. JESUS
DIDN'T TEACH THREE MORE
00:25:10.67\00:25:12.71
DAYS; HE TAUGHT
THREE MORE YEARS.
00:25:12.71\00:25:14.81
BUT HE MADE A PROPHECY
AND HE USED THE DAY FOR A YEAR
00:25:14.81\00:25:17.81
PRINCIPLE. SO WHEN
YOU INTERPRET THESE
00:25:17.81\00:25:20.15
PROPHECIES, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY
IT EVEN COMES CLOSE TO ADDING
00:25:20.15\00:25:23.12
UP. SO NOW DID IT HAPPEN?
IF YOU GO - A DAY EQUALS A YEAR
00:25:23.12\00:25:28.89
IN PROPHECY - IF YOU
GO 483 YEARS FROM 457 B.C.
00:25:28.89\00:25:34.23
IT COMES TO THE
BAPTISM OF JESUS IN 27 A.D.
00:25:34.23\00:25:38.67
WHEN I - WHEN I WAS UP IN THE
CAVE AND I READ THIS, I WAS SO
00:25:38.67\00:25:41.90
EXCITED WHEN I REALIZED HOW TRUE
PROPHECY IS, I LITERALLY GOT UP
00:25:41.90\00:25:46.88
- I COULDN'T SIT DOWN ANYMORE
BECAUSE I WAS SO EXCITED.
00:25:46.88\00:25:49.54
I'M ALL BY MYSELF AND I JUST
STARTED JUMPING UP AND DOWN AND
00:25:49.54\00:25:52.01
PRAISING GOD. I SAID,
'WOW, CHRIST CAME RIGHT
00:25:52.01\00:25:54.98
ON TIME THE FIRST TIME
JUST LIKE HE SAID HE WOULD.
00:25:54.98\00:25:56.82
WHY DON'T MORE
PEOPLE BELIEVE THE BIBLE?'
00:25:56.82\00:25:59.19
SO WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF CHARTS
HERE THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT UP
00:25:59.19\00:26:02.99
JUST TO REVIEW
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
00:26:02.99\00:26:05.33
FIRST WE KNOW, FROM 457, YOU'VE
GOT SIXTY-NINE WEEKS - THAT
00:26:05.33\00:26:10.27
WOULD GO 483 YEARS TO
THE POINT OF HIS BAPTISM.
00:26:10.27\00:26:14.97
THAT WOULD BE 27 A.D. AND
IT HAPPENED RIGHT ON TIME.
00:26:14.97\00:26:19.51
AND THEN IT TELLS US, "AFTER
THREE SCORE AND TWO WEEKS SHALL
00:26:19.51\00:26:24.28
MESSIAH BE" - WHAT? >>CUT OFF.
00:26:24.28\00:26:27.15
>>"CUT OFF. BUT
NOT FOR HIMSELF."
00:26:27.15\00:26:30.02
WHO WAS HE CUT OFF FOR? >>US.
00:26:30.02\00:26:33.22
>>FOR YOU, FOR ME, HE WAS CUT
OFF FROM THE LAND OF THE LIVING.
00:26:33.22\00:26:37.56
JESUS LAID DOWN HIS LIFE.
IN HIS PRIME HE DIED FOR US.
00:26:37.56\00:26:45.87
>>HI FRIENDS, YOU KNOW, I
UNDERSTAND THAT EVERY MONTH ON
00:26:45.87\00:26:48.97
GOOGLE ABOUT 20 MILLION PEOPLE
DO A SEARCH ASKING HOW WILL THE
00:26:48.97\00:26:53.48
WORLD END? PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW.
00:26:53.48\00:26:56.04
THE ANSWERS TO THOSE QUESTIONS
ARE REALLY FOUND IN THE BIBLE
00:26:56.04\00:26:59.58

PROPHECIES IN PARTICULAR.
