00:01:50.61\00:01:53.61
WE'VE BEEN LOOKING
FORWARD TO THIS SERIES.
00:01:53.61\00:01:55.21
WE'VE PUT TOGETHER A SET OF
NEW PRESENTATIONS BASED ON BIBLE
00:01:55.21\00:01:59.41
PROPHECY AND - ESPECIALLY
IN LIGHT OF EVERYTHING THAT IS
00:01:59.41\00:02:02.65
GOING ON THE IN THE WORLD TODAY
- THE LAST DAY OF PROPHECY .
00:02:02.65\00:02:06.49
AND OUR PRESENTATION TONIGHT IS
DEALING WITH THE SECRET CODE IN
00:02:06.49\00:02:11.49
PROPHECY. YOU KNOW,
I REMEMBER, YEARS AGO,
00:02:11.49\00:02:14.30
HEARING ABOUT
THE ENIGMA MACHINE.
00:02:14.30\00:02:17.20
YOU'VE PROBABLY
HEARD OF THAT AS WELL.
00:02:17.20\00:02:19.83
AND THIS MACHINE WAS ACTUALLY
BUILT BACK DURING WORLD WAR I -
00:02:19.83\00:02:26.34
THEY USED IT FOR BUSINESS - BUT
WHEN WORLD WAR II BROKE OUT, THE
00:02:26.34\00:02:30.61
NAZIS FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS
SUCH AN INCREDIBLY SOPHISTICATED
00:02:30.61\00:02:33.88
MACHINE WITH THE WHEELS, GEARS,
BUTTONS, AND WIRES SO THEY WOULD
00:02:33.88\00:02:38.59
TRANSFER A MESSAGE THROUGH THIS
MACHINE AND ONLY THOSE WITH A
00:02:38.59\00:02:42.22
CODE BOOK AND A MACHINE AT THE
OTHER END COULD UNDERSTAND THAT
00:02:42.22\00:02:45.39
MESSAGE. THEY FIGURED
IT WAS AN UNBREAKABLE CODE.
00:02:45.39\00:02:49.40
BUT WHAT THEY DIDN'T COUNT ON IS
THERE WAS A GROUP OF BRILLIANT
00:02:49.40\00:02:53.37
POLISH MATHEMATICIANS
WHO, WORKING WITH SOME BRITISH
00:02:53.37\00:02:56.71
AGENTS, THEY WERE ABLE
TO CRACK THE ENIGMA CODE.
00:02:56.71\00:03:01.54
AND THAT, ALONG WITH THEIR
CAPTURING A CODE BOOK FROM A
00:03:01.54\00:03:05.65
RUSSIAN U-BOAT THAT THEY ENDED
UP SINKING SO THAT THE GERMANS
00:03:05.65\00:03:09.18
WOULDN'T KNOW THAT THE
CODE BOOK WAS CAPTURED.
00:03:09.18\00:03:11.49
THEY WERE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND
CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE
00:03:11.49\00:03:15.46
GERMAN MILITARY FOR THE
LAST HALF OF WORLD WAR II.
00:03:15.46\00:03:19.13
THE U.S. EVEN BUILT A COMPUTER -
SEE, ONCE THEY GOT THE MESSAGE,
00:03:19.13\00:03:21.93
THEN THEY HAD TO
DECIPHER IT VERY QUICKLY.
00:03:21.93\00:03:23.80
IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST SUPER
COMPUTERS - AS BIG AS A TRUCK -
00:03:23.80\00:03:27.20
NOW IT WOULD FIT IN YOUR WATCH.
AND ALL THAT COMPUTER DID WAS
00:03:27.20\00:03:31.21
DECIPHER ENIGMA MESSAGES.
THE U.S. BUILT THAT MACHINE FOR
00:03:31.21\00:03:34.38
THEM. SO, THROUGH THE COMBINED
WORK OF THE ALLIES, THEY FIGURE
00:03:34.38\00:03:37.71
THEY TOOK TWO YEARS OFF OF WORLD
WAR II BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTOOD
00:03:37.71\00:03:42.85
THE CODE OF THAT MACHINE.
WELL, YOU KNOW, IN NATURE AND IN
00:03:42.85\00:03:47.52
THE BIBLE, WE SEE
THAT THERE ARE CYCLES.
00:03:47.52\00:03:50.39
EVEN IN THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL
CHAPTER 1 IT TALKS ABOUT A WHEEL
00:03:50.39\00:03:53.93
WITHIN A WHEEL AND YOU CAN SEE
THESE WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS THAT
00:03:53.93\00:03:59.80
ARE TAKING PLACE
IN BIBLE PROPHECY.
00:03:59.80\00:04:02.04
WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT SOME OF THOSE UNUSUAL
00:04:02.04\00:04:04.84
CYCLES IN OUR
PRESENTATION TONIGHT.
00:04:04.84\00:04:07.18
NOW - FIRST QUESTION - WE'RE
GOING TO DO THIS IN A SERIES OF
00:04:07.18\00:04:10.91
QUESTIONS AND THE FIRST QUESTION
I'M GOING TO ASK - I LIKE KIND
00:04:10.91\00:04:13.75
OF USING THIS QUESTION
AND ANSWER TEACHING METHOD.
00:04:13.75\00:04:17.02
DID JESUS GIVE US SOME SIGNS SO
THAT WE COULD KNOW THAT - THEY
00:04:17.02\00:04:20.56
WOULD INDICATE THAT HIS
COMING WAS NEAR? I'M NOT
00:04:20.56\00:04:24.49
TALKING ABOUT THE DAY OR
HOUR. NEAR. WHAT DID HE SAY?
00:04:24.49\00:04:28.03
'THERE'LL BE SIGNS' - JESUS SAID
- 'IN THE SUN AND IN THE MOON
00:04:28.03\00:04:31.20
AND IN THE STARS AND ON THE
EARTH, THE STRESS OF NATIONS,' -
00:04:31.20\00:04:34.20
THINGS ABOVE, THINGS IN
HUMANITY, THINGS IN NATURE THERE
00:04:34.20\00:04:38.37
WILL BE SIGNS THAT WILL
INTENSIFY IN FREQUENCY AND THEIR
00:04:38.37\00:04:42.98
OCCURRENCE AND THIS WILL
INDICATE HIS COMING IS NEAR.
00:04:42.98\00:04:46.65
JESUS SAID, 'WHEN YOU SEE THESE
THINGS, LIFT UP YOUR HEADS.' I
00:04:46.65\00:04:49.75
COULD STOP RIGHT HERE AND GO
INTO A PRESENTATION OF ABOUT 50
00:04:49.75\00:04:53.79
DIFFERENT THINGS THAT I THINK
ARE SIGNS THAT TELL US THAT WE
00:04:53.79\00:04:56.83
ARE LIVING IN WHAT, I
BELIEVE, IS THE LAST GENERATION.
00:04:56.83\00:05:00.56
BUT I'M JUST GOING TO LIST A FEW
THAT REALLY STAND OUT FOR ME.
00:05:00.56\00:05:03.26
ONE IS FOUND IN THE BOOK OF
DANIEL CHAPTER 12, VERSE 4 WHERE
00:05:03.26\00:05:06.60
HE SAYS, "BUT YOU, DANIEL, SHUT
UP THE WORDS, AND SEAL THE BOOK
00:05:06.60\00:05:10.51
UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END;
MANY SHALL RUN TO AND FRO, AND
00:05:10.51\00:05:15.28
KNOWLEDGE SHALL INCREASE."
YOU JUST HEARD PASTOR ROSS AND I
00:05:15.28\00:05:19.48
ALLUDE TO - WE WERE ON THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE PLANET A COUPLE OF
00:05:19.48\00:05:22.65
WEEKS AGO, IN SOUTH AFRICA.
AND KAREN AND I, THIS YEAR -
00:05:22.65\00:05:26.22
WITHIN THE LAST YEAR, ANYWAY -
WERE IN FIJI AND NEW ZEALAND AND
00:05:26.22\00:05:29.92
- JUST PEOPLE GOING AROUND THE
GLOBE. THEY NEVER DID THAT BACK
00:05:29.92\00:05:32.49
IN CHRIST'S DAY. HE
NEVER WENT MORE THAN A
00:05:32.49\00:05:35.36
HUNDRED MILES FROM
THE PLACE OF HIS BIRTH.
00:05:35.36\00:05:37.73
HOW MANY OF YOU KNEW SOMEBODY
THAT GREW UP AND SPENT THEIR
00:05:37.73\00:05:40.90
WHOLE LIFE AND THEY
NEVER TRAVELED A HUNDRED MILES?
00:05:40.90\00:05:43.67
I KNEW A GUY THAT LIVED
SEVENTY MILES FROM THE OCEAN.
00:05:43.67\00:05:45.94
AT 80 YEARS OLD HE
HAD NEVER SEEN THE OCEAN.
00:05:45.94\00:05:48.74
SOMEONE FINALLY TOOK
HIM AND HE WAS AMAZED.
00:05:48.74\00:05:51.55
HE SAID, 'WOW, THAT'S A LOT
OF WATER.' (LAUGHTER) BUT PEOPLE
00:05:51.55\00:05:55.65
WILL RUN TO AND FRO AND
KNOWLEDGE WILL BE INCREASED.
00:05:55.65\00:05:58.95
HOW MANY OF YOU
HAVE A SMART PHONE?
00:05:58.95\00:06:01.16
U CAN ACCESS ALL OF THE WISDOM
OF THE AGES NOW BY JUST TALKING
00:06:01.16\00:06:04.63
TO IT AND ASK IT A QUESTION.
I'VE JUST DISCOVERED THIS
00:06:04.63\00:06:08.50
FEATURE ON MY PHONE BUT IT'S
BEEN ON PHONES FOR A LONG TIME.
00:06:08.50\00:06:11.43
AND IT'S AMAZING.
MY SMART PHONE MAKES
00:06:11.43\00:06:14.37
ME FEEL DUMB, ACTUALLY.
BUT IF YOU HAD SHOWED SOMETHING
00:06:14.37\00:06:18.17
LIKE THAT TO THE APOSTLE
PAUL, HE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
00:06:18.17\00:06:20.28
YOU WERE POSSESSED. SO
KNOWLEDGE HAS INCREASED MORE
00:06:20.28\00:06:24.58
IN THE LAST 50 YEARS THAN ALL
OF THE HISTORY OF MAN COMBINED.
00:06:24.58\00:06:28.88
SO THAT'S ONE OF THE
SIGNS. HERE'S ANOTHER ONE.
00:06:28.88\00:06:31.52
JESUS SAID, 'THIS GOSPEL OF THE
KINGDOM WILL BE PREACHED IN ALL
00:06:31.52\00:06:34.86
THE WORLD AS A WITNESS TO THE
NATIONS AND THEN THE END WILL
00:06:34.86\00:06:40.00
COME.' HE DIDN'T SAY, 'MIGHT
COME', HE SAYS, 'THEN THE END
00:06:40.00\00:06:43.33
WILL COME'. AND,
YOU KNOW, EVEN NOW, THIS
00:06:43.33\00:06:46.70
BROADCAST, THROUGH THE MEDIUM
OF TELEVISION, IT IS BOUNCING
00:06:46.70\00:06:50.07
IN ABOUT HALF A SECOND OFF
SATELLITES 23,000 MILES UP IN
00:06:50.07\00:06:53.71
SPACE AND RICOCHETING THROUGH
THE INTERNET ALL OVER THE WORLD.
00:06:53.71\00:06:59.25
AND THIS IS JUST ONE
PRESENTATION ONE MINISTRY -
00:06:59.25\00:07:02.55
ACTUALLY A GROUP OF MINISTRIES -
THAT ARE PREACHING THE GOSPEL -
00:07:02.55\00:07:06.52
AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS. I HAD
THE PRIVILEGE OF CONDUCTING ONE
00:07:06.52\00:07:11.39
OF THE FIRST PUBLIC EVANGELISTIC
PROGRAMS IN MAINLAND CHINA ABOUT
00:07:11.39\00:07:16.87
A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, PREACHING
TO A GROUP LIKE THIS - FULL
00:07:16.87\00:07:20.57
AUDITORIUM - FREE - 15
PRESENTATIONS. THEY TOLD ME THAT
00:07:20.57\00:07:25.34
IS THE FIRST TIME THAT
HAS BEEN ALLOWED IN 59 YEARS.
00:07:25.34\00:07:28.38
AND SO, WE'VE SEEN IT HAPPENING
AND THROUGH THE DVDS AND THE
00:07:28.38\00:07:32.81
INTERNET THE GOSPEL
IS GOING EVERYWHERE NOW.
00:07:32.81\00:07:35.02
JESUS DIDN'T SAY EVERYBODY WOULD
BELIEVE, BUT HE SAID IT WOULD GO
00:07:35.02\00:07:38.12
TO ALL THE NATIONS
THEN THE END WILL COME.
00:07:38.12\00:07:40.89
I THINK WE'RE LIVING IN THAT
GENERATION THAT WILL SEE THIS.
00:07:40.89\00:07:43.76
NOW THIS IS A PART I NEED TO
EMPHASIZE RIGHT AT THE FRONT END
00:07:43.76\00:07:46.96
OF OUR STUDY TONIGHT.
NEXT QUESTION: CAN ANYONE KNOW
00:07:46.96\00:07:50.53
THE EXACT DATE OF
JESUS' RETURN? >>NO.
00:07:50.53\00:07:53.70
>>I'M GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT
SOME SIGNS, BUT WE'VE GOT TO BE
00:07:53.70\00:07:56.84
CAREFUL. JESUS WAS
VERY CLEAR, 'BUT OF
00:07:56.84\00:08:00.18
THAT DAY AND THAT HOUR NO
ONE KNOWS, NOT EVEN THE GELS OF
00:08:00.18\00:08:04.98
HEAVEN, NOR THE SON, BUT ONLY
THE FATHER.' SOME PEOPLE THOUGHT
00:08:04.98\00:08:09.92
JESUS WAS COMING
2,000 YEARS AFTER HIS BIRTH.
00:08:09.92\00:08:12.99
I ACTUALLY AM ON RECORD IN 1999
TELLING PEOPLE I DON'T THINK
00:08:12.99\00:08:18.36
THAT'S TRUE. YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE EVERYBODY THOUGHT SO.
00:08:18.36\00:08:22.73
YOU REMEMBER THOSE - BIG FURY
IN 1999 - ANY OF YOU ALIVE BACK
00:08:22.73\00:08:25.13
THEN? ANY OF YOU -
IF YOU REMEMBER - Y2K?
00:08:25.13\00:08:28.40
THE WORLD WAS GOING TO END AND
ALL PLANES WERE GOING TO FALL
00:08:28.40\00:08:30.21
OUT OF THE SKY? AND I
SAID, 'NO, I DON'T THINK
00:08:30.21\00:08:31.91
JESUS IS COMING DECEMBER
31, 1999.' 'REALLY? WHY NOT?'
00:08:31.91\00:08:35.81
'BECAUSE ALL OF YOU THINK SO AND
JESUS SAID, 'AT SUCH AN HOUR YOU
00:08:35.81\00:08:39.35
THINK NOT, THE SON OF MAN
IS COMING.' NOW THE CHURCH HAS
00:08:39.35\00:08:44.22
PRETTY MUCH GONE TO
SLEEP. IT COULD BE ANY TIME.
00:08:44.22\00:08:47.89
SOME PEOPLE ARE THEN SETTING
DATES AND SAYING, 'WELL, JESUS
00:08:47.89\00:08:49.96
IS GOING TO COME 2,000 YEARS -
NOT FROM HIS BIRTH, BUT FROM HIS
00:08:49.96\00:08:53.40
MINISTRY - HIS BAPTISM -
HIS ANOINTING.' OTHERS SAY, 'NO,
00:08:53.40\00:08:56.56
IT'S 2,000 YEARS FROM HIS
DEATH.' DON'T EVEN GO THERE,
00:08:56.56\00:08:58.80
FRIENDS. I'LL TELL YOU
WHY. IT COULD BE SOONER
00:08:58.80\00:09:02.17
THAN YOU THINK. >>AMEN.
00:09:02.17\00:09:04.14
>>BECAUSE JESUS SAID, 'EXCEPT
THOSE DAYS BE SHORTENED, NO
00:09:04.14\00:09:06.41
FLESH WOULD BE SAVED.' IT COULD
BE LATER THAN YOU THINK BECAUSE
00:09:06.41\00:09:11.31
THE LORD IS LONGSUFFERING
TO US. WE'RE NOT WILLING THAT
00:09:11.31\00:09:14.45
ANY SHOULD PERISH.
HE'S WAITING TILL THE LAST
00:09:14.45\00:09:15.98
MINUTE TO SAVE AS MANY AS
HE CAN. SO WE'VE GOT TO BE VERY
00:09:15.98\00:09:18.42
CAREFUL TO START TRYING TO
PINPOINT DATES. AND SOME OF YOU,
00:09:18.42\00:09:22.52
IF YOU KNEW THE DATE, IT
WOULD BE LIKE FILING YOUR TAXES.
00:09:22.52\00:09:24.69
YOU'D WAIT UNTIL THE
LAST MINUTE TO GET READY.
00:09:24.69\00:09:26.56
(LAUGHTER) SO THE LORD
WANTS YOU TO JUST BE READY.
00:09:26.56\00:09:29.36
>>AMEN. >>JESUS WAS VERY CLEAR.
00:09:29.36\00:09:31.27
BUT WE CAN KNOW WHEN IT'S NEAR
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO
00:09:31.27\00:09:33.90
BE TALKING ABOUT.
JESUS SAID, 'YOU KNOW HOW TO
00:09:33.90\00:09:36.50
TELL THE WEATHER' - I MEAN, THE
WEATHERMEN CAN TRY AND PREDICT
00:09:36.50\00:09:40.24
THE WEATHER WITH SOME
ACCURACY - BY SATELLITES - AND
00:09:40.24\00:09:43.88
THEY HAVE A PERSPECTIVE.
AND JESUS SAID, 'HOW COME YOU
00:09:43.88\00:09:46.75
CAN'T SEE THE
SIGNS OF THE TIMES?
00:09:46.75\00:09:48.28
SO THE LORD HAS GIVEN US SIGNS
OF THE TIMES, BUT NO MAN KNOWS
00:09:48.28\00:09:52.59
THE DAY OR THE
HOUR OF HIS COMING.
00:09:52.59\00:09:55.62
AND I WANT YOU TO MAKE - I WANT
TO MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR IN THIS
00:09:55.62\00:09:59.03
PRESENTATION, BECAUSE I'M GOING
TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE SIGNS
00:09:59.03\00:10:02.20
AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
SOME TIMES, BUT NOT DATES, FOR
00:10:02.20\00:10:04.60
THE LORD'S COMING.
ALRIGHT, QUESTION #3: WHAT
00:10:04.60\00:10:08.40
NUMBER APPEARS MOST
FREQUENTLY IN PROPHECY?
00:10:08.40\00:10:13.81
>>SEVEN. >>YOU KNEW
IT - THE NUMBER SEVEN
00:10:13.81\00:10:16.71
- AND HERE'S JUST ONE
VERSE IN THE BIBLE IN THE
00:10:16.71\00:10:18.85
BOOK OF REVELATION.
REVELATION CHAPTER 1, VERSE 20,
00:10:18.85\00:10:22.02
IT TALKS ABOUT "THE MYSTERY OF
THE SEVEN STARS WHICH HE SAW ON
00:10:22.02\00:10:25.72
MY RIGHT HAND, AND THE SEVEN
GOLDEN LAMPSTANDS: THE SEVEN
00:10:25.72\00:10:30.26
STARS ARE THE ANGELS OF THE
SEVEN CHURCHES, AND THE SEVEN
00:10:30.26\00:10:33.19
LAMPSTANDS WHICH YOU
SAW ARE THE SEVEN CHURCHES."
00:10:33.19\00:10:35.80
IT'S PRETTY CLEAR ABOUT THE
NUMBER SEVEN. I'VE JUST GOT A
00:10:35.80\00:10:38.73
SMALL LIST HERE IN MY BIBLE,
THAT I ASSEMBLED, OF SOME OF THE
00:10:38.73\00:10:42.64
SEVENS THAT YOU FIND IN
SCRIPTURE. "SIX THINGS THE LORD
00:10:42.64\00:10:46.81
HATES, YES SEVEN ARE
AN ABOMINATION TO HIM."
00:10:46.81\00:10:49.61
YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT
THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS?
00:10:49.61\00:10:52.31
JUDGMENT - THAT'S KIND OF
FRIGHTENING - BUT BECAUSE IT'S
00:10:52.31\00:10:55.25
CONNECTED WITH JUDGMENT, SEVEN'S
ALSO CONNECTED WITH FORGIVENESS.
00:10:55.25\00:10:59.69
FOR INSTANCE, PETER SAID, 'LORD,
HOW OFTEN SHALL I FORGIVE MY
00:10:59.69\00:11:02.89
BROTHER,' -
MATTHEW 18 - 'SEVEN TIMES?'
00:11:02.89\00:11:05.66
AND JESUS SAID, 'SEVENTY TIMES
SEVEN.' HE SAID, 'NOT SEVEN
00:11:05.66\00:11:09.50
TIMES, BUT SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN.'
AGAIN, FORGIVENESS - WHEN THE
00:11:09.50\00:11:14.47
PRIEST WENT BEFORE THE LORD HE
TOOK THE BLOOD OF THE SACRIFICE
00:11:14.47\00:11:17.24
AND HE SPRINKLED IT
SEVEN TIMES BEFORE THE LORD.
00:11:17.24\00:11:21.91
AND SO SEVEN -
CONNECTED WITH FORGIVENESS.
00:11:21.91\00:11:24.51
YOU MAY REMEMBER THE STORY IN
2 KINGS CHAPTER 5, ABOUT NAAMAN
00:11:24.51\00:11:28.35
THE GENERAL WHO WAS A LEPER.
HE WAS TOLD TO WASH IN THE
00:11:28.35\00:11:31.69
JORDAN - JORDAN IS A SYMBOL
OF - WHERE JESUS WAS BAPTIZED -
00:11:31.69\00:11:35.72
DEATH, BURIAL, AND RESURRECTION
- BAPTISM - SEVEN TIMES AND HE
00:11:35.72\00:11:39.26
WAS CLEANSED FROM HIS LEPROSY.
MIRIAM SPENT SEVEN DAYS OUTSIDE
00:11:39.26\00:11:43.30
OF THE TABERNACLE WITH HER
LEPROSY AND THEN SHE WAS HEALED.
00:11:43.30\00:11:47.27
AND SO SEVEN IS SOMETIMES LIKE A
CYCLE OF TIME THAT TALKS ABOUT A
00:11:47.27\00:11:51.41
JUDGMENT. SO WHAT
ARE SOME OF THE OTHER
00:11:51.41\00:11:53.94
BIBLE STORIES THAT
REFERENCED THIS CYCLE OF SEVEN?
00:11:53.94\00:11:58.48
HOW LONG WAS MOSES ON
MOUNT SINAI GETTING THE TEN
00:11:58.48\00:12:00.82
COMMANDMENTS? FORTY
DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS.
00:12:00.82\00:12:03.52
BUT YOU REMEMBER, THERE WAS
ANOTHER TIME PERIOD BEFORE HE
00:12:03.52\00:12:05.79
WENT UP. 'NOW THE GLORY OF THE
LORD RESTED ON MOUNT SINAI AND
00:12:05.79\00:12:10.13
THE CLOUD COVERED
IT FOR' - HOW LONG?
00:12:10.13\00:12:12.39
- 'SIX DAYS AND ON THE SEVENTH
DAY THE LORD CALLED TO MOSES OUT
00:12:12.39\00:12:18.80
OF THE CLOUD AND MOSES WENT UP.'
ANOTHER LAW THEY HAD - JUST SOME
00:12:18.80\00:12:23.67
OF THE OTHER STORIES - "IF YOU
BUY A HEBREW SERVANT," - EXODUS
00:12:23.67\00:12:26.88
CHAPTER 21:2 - "HE SHALL SERVE
SIX YEARS; AND IN THE SEVENTH"
00:12:26.88\00:12:32.45
YEAR HE'LL GO FREE. NOW,
IS JESUS GOING TO SET THE
00:12:32.45\00:12:36.18
CAPTIVES FREE WHEN
HE COMES? >>YES, AMEN.
00:12:36.18\00:12:38.49
>>SO SIX YEARS THE PEOPLE IN THE
WORLD HAVE BEEN ENSLAVED TO THE
00:12:38.49\00:12:41.39
DEVIL. HE'S A HARD
TASK MASTER, BUT THE
00:12:41.39\00:12:44.53
LORD'S GOING TO COME AND HE'S
GOING TO SET THE CAPTIVES FREE.
00:12:44.53\00:12:46.76
>>AMEN. >>AND
THOSE WHO'VE TRUSTED IN
00:12:46.76\00:12:48.36
CHRIST WILL BE
LIBERATED AT THAT TIME.
00:12:48.36\00:12:51.53
JERICHO - YOU KNOW, WHEN THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL - THE FIRST
00:12:51.53\00:12:54.60
BATTLE TO TAKE THE PROMISED
LAND WAS A CITY CALLED JERICHO.
00:12:54.60\00:12:57.54
HOW MANY TIMES DID THEY MARCH
AROUND THE CITY OF JERICHO?
00:12:57.54\00:12:59.81
>>SIX. >>SEVEN.
00:12:59.81\00:13:01.81
>>THIRTEEN TIMES.
EVERYONE GETS THAT WRONG.
00:13:01.81\00:13:04.38
YOU ALL REMEMBER HOW MANY TIMES
THEY MARCHED AROUND THE CITY THE
00:13:04.38\00:13:07.35
LAST DAY, BUT IT SAYS THEY
MARCHED AROUND THE CITY ONCE FOR
00:13:07.35\00:13:12.12
SIX DAYS, THEN ON THE SEVENTH
DAY THEY MARCHED AROUND THE CITY
00:13:12.12\00:13:15.92
SEVEN TIMES.
THAT'S A TOTAL OF 13.
00:13:15.92\00:13:19.39
HOW MANY WERE
AT THE LAST SUPPER?
00:13:19.39\00:13:20.60
>>THIRTEEN.
>>THIRTEEN. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:13:20.60\00:13:23.06
I DON'T KNOW, BUT I JUST THINK
- I ALWAYS THINK ABOUT THESE
00:13:23.06\00:13:24.73
NUMBERS. (LAUGHTER) JUST STIR
00:13:24.73\00:13:27.87
UP YOUR PURE MINDS. YOU
MIGHT GIVE ME YOUR IDEAS.
00:13:27.87\00:13:30.11
ANYWAY, BUT NOTICE, SIX DAYS
THEY MARCHED AROUND THE CITY,
00:13:30.11\00:13:33.01
THEN THE SEVENTH DAY
THEY TOOK THE PROMISED LAND.
00:13:33.01\00:13:37.28
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OTHER
PATTERNS OF SEVEN IN SCRIPTURE?
00:13:37.28\00:13:40.32
WE'VE GOT A LOT FRIENDS.
ENOCH - YOU CAN READ IN THE BOOK
00:13:40.32\00:13:43.52
OF JUDE - ENOCH IS
THE SEVENTH FROM ADAM.
00:13:43.52\00:13:47.19
HE PROPHESIED ABOUT THESE MEN
SAYING, 'BEHOLD, THE LORD COMES
00:13:47.19\00:13:51.16
WITH TEN THOUSAND OF HIS
SAINTS.' NOW, WE JUST TALKED
00:13:51.16\00:13:53.46
ABOUT ENOCH, THE FATHER OF
METHUSELAH - WHAT DIRECTION DID
00:13:53.46\00:13:56.36
ENOCH GO? HE WENT UP.
WHAT GENERATION WAS HE?
00:13:56.36\00:14:00.80
HE WASHE SEVENTH. SO IF
YOU COUNT FROM ADAM, SETH,
00:14:00.80\00:14:05.31
ENOS - YOU MAKE YOUR WAY UP
TO ENOCH - YOU'VE GOT SIX BEFORE
00:14:05.31\00:14:08.28
HIM - THE SEVENTH GOES
UP. AND THE SEVEN, JUDE SAYS,
00:14:08.28\00:14:13.58
TALKS ABOUT THE LORD'S
COMING. VERY INTERESTING.
00:14:13.58\00:14:16.75
I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE I'M SEEING
STUFF THAT ISN'T REALLY THERE.
00:14:16.75\00:14:19.79
BUT TO ME, I JUST SEE A PATTERN.
YOU CAN READ IN JOB, "IN SIX
00:14:19.79\00:14:24.99
TROUBLES HE WILL DELIVER
YOU, YES IN SEVEN NO EVIL
00:14:24.99\00:14:27.86
WILL TOUCH
YOU." WHY DOES NO EVIL
00:14:27.86\00:14:29.23
TOUCH US IN SEVEN?
BECAUSE WE'RE CAUGHT UP.
00:14:29.23\00:14:32.23
YOU REMEMBER, THERE WAS A FAMINE
IN THE LAND AND ELIJAH PRAYED
00:14:32.23\00:14:34.74
FOR RAIN AND HE SENT HIS SERVANT
TO THE OCEAN, HE SAID, 'ANY RAIN
00:14:34.74\00:14:38.04
YET?' HE SAID,
'IT HASN'T RAINED FOR
00:14:38.04\00:14:39.41
THREE AND A HALF
YEARS.' THERE'S NOTHING.
00:14:39.41\00:14:40.48
HE PRAYED AGAIN. HE
PRAYED AGAIN. HE PRAYED AGAIN.
00:14:40.48\00:14:44.75
IT CAME TO PASS.
AFTER SIX TIMES THE SERVANT
00:14:44.75\00:14:46.51
CAME BACK AND
SAID, 'NOTHING. NOTHING.
00:14:46.51\00:14:47.88
NOTHING.'
SEVENTH TIME HE PRAYED.
00:14:47.88\00:14:50.39
HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW, THERE'S A
CLOUD COMING UP OUT OF THE SEA.'
00:14:50.39\00:14:55.66
AND THAT CLOUD GREW AND IT
FILLED THE SKY AND IT POURED AND
00:14:55.66\00:14:58.66
THERE WAS A STORM. BY
THE WAY, THERE'S GOING TO BE
00:14:58.66\00:15:01.56
A STORM, FRIENDS, IN THE
FUTURE JUST BEFORE JESUS COMES.
00:15:01.56\00:15:04.93
CHRIST SAID THERE'S GOING TO BE
A TIME OF TROUBLE SUCH AS THERE
00:15:04.93\00:15:07.00
NEVER HAS BEEN SINCE THERE
WAS A NATION, EVEN UNTO THAT
00:15:07.00\00:15:10.07
SAME TIME. YOU'VE
HEARD OF THE TRIBULATION?
00:15:10.07\00:15:12.57
THIS IS WHY JESUS SAID, 'HE
THAT ENDURES TO THE END WILL BE
00:15:12.57\00:15:15.68
SAVED.' WE'VE GOT TO HAVE A
FAITH NOW, WHERE WE BELIEVE HIS
00:15:15.68\00:15:18.58
WORD AND WE LOVE THE LORD.
DID JESUS FORETELL THERE MIGHT
00:15:18.58\00:15:21.75
BE AN APPEARANCE OF DELAY
CONNECTED WITH HIS RETURN?
00:15:21.75\00:15:27.06
>>YES. >>I MEAN, HERE 6,000
00:15:27.06\00:15:28.52
YEARS HAVE GONE BY.
IT'S BEEN 2,000 YEARS SINCE
00:15:28.52\00:15:30.33
CHRIST WAS BORN, HOW
COME HE HASN'T COME BACK YET?
00:15:30.33\00:15:33.90
DON'T FORGET, WHEN JESUS CAME
THE FIRST TIME, WAS THE CHURCH
00:15:33.90\00:15:37.03
READY FOR HIS
FIRST COMING? >>NO.
00:15:37.03\00:15:39.30
>>DID HIS OWN PEOPLE, WITH THE
BIBLE, GROW TIRED OF WAITING FOR
00:15:39.30\00:15:42.14
THE MESSIAH? WHY
WOULD WE THINK THE DEVIL
00:15:42.14\00:15:45.07
IS GOING TO BE ANY DIFFERENT?
IT'S GOING TO BE THE SAME WAY -
00:15:45.07\00:15:48.78
THE SECOND COMING -
AS IT WAS THE FIRST.
00:15:48.78\00:15:50.48
AND THEY WEREN'T READING THE
BIBLE - THERE WERE A FEW WISE
00:15:50.48\00:15:52.28
MEN IN THE EAST, A COUPLE OF
PEOPLE IN THE TEMPLE: ANA AND
00:15:52.28\00:15:55.15
SIMEON, SOME SHEPHERDS IN THE
FIELD - BUT MOST PEOPLE WERE NOT
00:15:55.15\00:15:58.79
READY FOR THE FIRST COMING.
THE DEVIL HASN'T CHANGED.
00:15:58.79\00:16:03.39
SO WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES JESUS
GAVE US SO WE CAN KNOW THAT HE
00:16:03.39\00:16:06.73
TOLD US 'PREPARE FOR A TIME OF
DELAY THAT WILL TEST YOUR FAITH
00:16:06.73\00:16:11.20
- OR AT LEAST THE
APPEARANCE OF DELAY.
00:16:11.20\00:16:13.47
AFTER JESUS GIVES THE SIGNS
IN MATTHEW 24, TALKING ABOUT THE
00:16:13.47\00:16:17.04
SECOND COMING, HE TELLS THE
DISCIPLES, 'IF THAT EVIL SERVANT
00:16:17.04\00:16:21.08
SAYS IN HIS HEART, 'MY LORD
IS DELAYING HIS COMING' AND HE
00:16:21.08\00:16:25.81
BEGINS TO EAT AND DRINK WITH THE
DRUNKARDS, WHY WOULD HE MENTION
00:16:25.81\00:16:27.88
IF THAT SERVANT SAYS, 'MY LORD
DELAYS'? YOU KNOW, IT SOUNDS
00:16:27.88\00:16:32.62
LIKE CHRIST IS QUOTING WHAT
HAPPENED WHEN THE CHILDREN OF
00:16:32.62\00:16:35.56
ISRAEL GOT TIRED OF
WAITING FOR MOSES TO COME BACK.
00:16:35.56\00:16:39.23
MOSES WENT UP THE MOUNTAIN TO
GET THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, BUT HE
00:16:39.23\00:16:42.20
WAS, YOU KNOW, OVER 80 YEARS OLD
AND HE WENT UP THERE AND THERE'S
00:16:42.20\00:16:45.80
THUNDER AND SMOKE COMING OUT OF
THE MOUNTAIN AND THE MOUNTAIN'S
00:16:45.80\00:16:48.77
SHAKING AND AFTER A FEW
WEEKS YOU'D START TO WORRY.
00:16:48.77\00:16:52.34
YOU KNOW, AN OLD GUY UP THERE,
HE COULD HAVE TRIPPED, HE'S BY
00:16:52.34\00:16:54.04
HIMSELF. HE'S
PROBABLY NOT COMING BACK.
00:16:54.04\00:16:57.68
AFTER THREE WEEKS, FOUR WEEKS
- AFTER 40 DAYS THEY SAID, 'OH,
00:16:57.68\00:17:02.55
THIS IS IT.
HE'S NOT COMING BACK.
00:17:02.55\00:17:03.99
WE CAN'T GO UP THE MOUNTAIN -
WE'RE FORBIDDEN - WE'VE GOT TO
00:17:03.99\00:17:06.05
GET SOMEONE ELSE.' IT SAYS,
'WHILE MOSES DELAYED' - WHEN THE
00:17:06.05\00:17:09.82
PEOPLE SAW THAT MOSES DELAYED
COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN, THEY
00:17:09.82\00:17:14.30
WERE BEING
TESTED. WHAT DID THEY DO?
00:17:14.30\00:17:17.33
MANY OF THEM FAILED THE TEST.
THEY MADE A GOLDEN CALF, THEY
00:17:17.33\00:17:21.27
COMPROMISED THEIR WORSHIP.
COULD THE CHURCH BE FACED WITH
00:17:21.27\00:17:24.14
THE SAME KIND OF TEST TODAY?
WE'RE IN A TIME OF WAITING RIGHT
00:17:24.14\00:17:27.31
NOW, WHEN OUR FAITH SHOULD
BE GROWING STRONGER AND SOME ARE
00:17:27.31\00:17:29.84
COMPROMISING, TRYING TO BE LIKE
THE WORLD. ANOTHER EXAMPLE IN
00:17:29.84\00:17:35.35
THE BIBLE, YOU'VE
HEARD OF SAMUEL THE PROPHET?
00:17:35.35\00:17:39.99
SAMUEL ANOINTED KING TO BE -
SAUL TO BE KING - AND HE SAID,
00:17:39.99\00:17:44.26
'YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN EPIC
BATTLE WITH THE PHILISTINES.
00:17:44.26\00:17:46.96
DON'T GO INTO BATTLE UNTIL
I OFFER SACRIFICES FOR YOU.'
00:17:46.96\00:17:49.73
SAMUEL WAS THE
PROPHET. HE WAS THE PRIEST.
00:17:49.73\00:17:51.73
HE WAS THE JUDGE OF ISRAEL.
WELL, HE SAID - NOTICE WHAT HE
00:17:51.73\00:17:55.67
SAYS - 'YOU SHALL GO DOWN BEFORE
ME TO GILGAL AND SURELY I WILL
00:17:55.67\00:18:00.91
CO.' DID JESUS TELL YOU
THAT - 'I WILL COME AGAIN'?
00:18:00.91\00:18:03.85
DOES HE LIE? -
'SURELY I WILL COME DOWN TO
00:18:03.85\00:18:07.42
YOU TO OFFER BURNT OFFERING AND
SACRIFICES OF PEACE OFFERINGS.
00:18:07.42\00:18:10.95
SEVEN DAYS YOU'LL WAIT - WAIT
TILL I COME - WAIT TILL I COME
00:18:10.95\00:18:15.29
TO YOU.' VERY
CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS.
00:18:15.29\00:18:17.16
BUT THEN THE BIBLE SAYS SAUL -
THE PHILISTINES WERE GATHERING,
00:18:17.16\00:18:21.63
HIS MEN WERE GETTING
AFRAID. MANY WERE DESERTING.
00:18:21.63\00:18:25.73
SIX DAYS WENT BY AND SAMUEL WAS
NOT EVEN THERE. AND THE BIBLE
00:18:25.73\00:18:29.30
SAYS HE WAITED SEVEN
DAYS BUT SAMUEL DIDN'T COME.
00:18:29.30\00:18:33.91
SAUL FINALLY SAID, 'LOOK, WE'VE
GOT TO OFFER SACRIFICE.' WHEN
00:18:33.91\00:18:36.75
THE SEVENTH DAY CAME - HE WAS
BEING TESTED - HE DID SOMETHING
00:18:36.75\00:18:40.15
THAT HE WAS FORBIDDEN TO
DO. THE KING WAS NOT THE PRIEST.
00:18:40.15\00:18:43.32
HE WAS NOT SUPPOSED
TO OFFER THE SACRIFICE.
00:18:43.32\00:18:45.69
AND HE WENT AND HE DID IT
BECAUSE THE OTHER NATIONS DID IT
00:18:45.69\00:18:48.09
SO HE THOUGHT, 'IT DOESN'T
MATTER IF I DO IT.' HE OFFERED
00:18:48.09\00:18:50.49
SACRIFICE AND AS SOON AS HE
WAS DONE, GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?
00:18:50.49\00:18:53.19
>>SAMUEL CAME. >>SAMUEL CAME.
00:18:53.19\00:18:54.63
SAME THING THAT HAPPENED.
AS SOON AS THEY MADE THE
00:18:54.63\00:18:56.03
GOLDEN CALF, MOSES CAME.
THERE'S GOING TO BE A BIG TEST,
00:18:56.03\00:19:02.00
IN THE LAST
DAYS, OF GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:19:02.00\00:19:03.51
THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID, 'MANY
WILL COME TO ME IN THAT DAY
00:19:03.51\00:19:06.37
SAYING, 'LORD, LORD.'
HE'LL SAY, 'I DON'T KNOW YOU.
00:19:06.37\00:19:08.18
DEPART FROM ME YE WHO WORK
INIQUITY.' THEY LOST PATIENCE
00:19:08.18\00:19:10.95
WAITING. TIME OF
TESTING - WHY DO YOU
00:19:10.95\00:19:14.82
THINK JESUS SAID - IN MATTHEW
25 - MATTHEW 24, SIGNS OF THE
00:19:14.82\00:19:17.79
SECOND COMING - MATTHEW 25,
WHILE THE BRIDEGROOM DELAYED.
00:19:17.79\00:19:22.02
WHO'S THE
BRIDEGROOM IN THAT PARABLE?
00:19:22.02\00:19:24.29
HE'S THE SYMBOL FOR
JESUS. DO WE ALL AGREE?
00:19:24.29\00:19:27.23
DID CHRIST - IS HE
TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING?
00:19:27.23\00:19:29.80
THAT THERE WAS A PERIOD OF
TESTING FOR THOSE - THERE WERE
00:19:29.80\00:19:33.00
TEN VIRGINS, FIVE
WISE, FIVE FOOLISH - RIGHT?
00:19:33.00\00:19:37.47
YOU KNOW THE PARABLE?
THERE'S A TIME OF TESTING.
00:19:37.47\00:19:40.28
HALF OF THEM FAILED THE TEST
BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT, 'WELL,
00:19:40.28\00:19:43.85
HE'S NOT COMING BACK.' THE
LORD SOMETIMES TESTS OUR FAITH.
00:19:43.85\00:19:48.32
WILL JESUS ACTUALLY
BE LATE FOR HIS RETURN?
00:19:48.32\00:19:51.92
>>NO. >>WHAT DO YOU THINK?
00:19:51.92\00:19:53.12
LET'S READ SOME
PROPHECIES ON THIS.
00:19:53.12\00:19:54.89
IT SAYS IN HABUKKUK, "THE VISION
IS YET FOR AN APPOINTED TIME,
00:19:54.89\00:19:58.93
BUT AT THE END IT WILL SPEAK
AND NOT LIE" - NOTICE - IT SAYS,
00:19:58.93\00:20:03.67
"THOUGH IT TARRIES WAIT FOR
IT, BECAUSE IT WILL SURELY COME.
00:20:03.67\00:20:09.54
IT WILL NOT TARRY.' IN OTHER
WORDS - HE SAYS, 'THOUGH IT
00:20:09.54\00:20:12.21
TARRIES, IT WILL NOT TARRY.'
THOUGH IT APPEARS AND MANY OF
00:20:12.21\00:20:16.24
THE WORLD ARE SAYING, 'I GUESS
THE LORD'S NOT COMING BACK.' YOU
00:20:16.24\00:20:19.68
CAN READ HERE IN HEBREWS 10:37,
"FOR YET A LITTLE WHILE AND HE
00:20:19.68\00:20:23.62
WHO IS COMING WILL COME AND WILL
NOT TARRY AND THE JUST WILL LIVE
00:20:23.62\00:20:29.29
BY FAITH." FRIENDS,
IS YOUR FAITH HANGING ON?
00:20:29.29\00:20:32.83
JESUS SAID, 'I'M COMING AGAIN.'
THIS OUGHT TO BE THE - THE GREAT
00:20:32.83\00:20:36.30
HOPE - THE BLESSED HOPE OF
BELIEVERS THAT WILL MOBILIZE US.
00:20:36.30\00:20:41.60
HOW WOULD YOU LIVE IF YOU
THOUGHT THE LORD WAS COMING IN A
00:20:41.60\00:20:43.47
WEEK? WE OUGHT TO BE
LIVING THAT WAY EVERY DAY.
00:20:43.47\00:20:47.78
HE SAID, 'I WILL COME AGAIN.'
AND HE WILL REWARD EVERYBODY.
00:20:47.78\00:20:51.51
YOU CAN READ IN HEBREWS CHAPTER
10, VERSE 37, "BUT IF ANYONE
00:20:51.51\00:20:55.68
DRAWS BACK, MY SOUL
HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM."
00:20:55.68\00:20:58.69
THAT'S THE REST OF THAT VERSE.
HERE'S ONE FROM 2 PETER 3,
00:20:58.69\00:21:01.69
VERSES 3 AND 4, "KNOWING THIS
FIRST: THAT SCOFFERS WILL COME
00:21:01.69\00:21:05.66
IN THE LAST DAYS," - THAT'S IN
THE WORDS OF OUR SONG - MOCKERS
00:21:05.66\00:21:10.10
AND SCOFFERS - "WALKING
ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN LUSTS,
00:21:10.10\00:21:13.64
AND SAYING, 'WHERE IS
THE PROMISE OF HIS COMING?
00:21:13.64\00:21:17.44
FOR SINCE THE FATHERS FELL
ASLEEP, ALL THINGS CONTINUE AS
00:21:17.44\00:21:20.41
THEY WERE FROM THE BEGINNING
OF CREATION." UNTIL NOW.
00:21:20.41\00:21:23.61
WHAT IS PETER TALKING
ABOUT, SCOFFERS IN THE WORLD?
00:21:23.61\00:21:26.48
THERE HAVE ALWAYS
BEEN SCOFFERS IN THE WORLD.
00:21:26.48\00:21:28.38
MAYBE HE'S TALKING ABOUT
SCOFFERS IN THE CHURCH IN THE
00:21:28.38\00:21:31.89
LAST DAYS, WALKING
AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS.
00:21:31.89\00:21:34.36
THEY'RE NOT WALKING GODLY LIVES,
SAYING, 'AW, HE'S NEVER GOING TO
00:21:34.36\00:21:36.86
COME. YEAH WE'VE HEARD IT. JESUS
IS COMING. JESUS IS COMING.
00:21:36.86\00:21:40.00
YOU PREACHERS HAVE BEEN SAYING
THAT FOR YEARS.' THAT'S RIGHT.
00:21:40.00\00:21:42.46
AND ONE OF THESE DAYS
WE'RE GOING TO BE RIGHT.
00:21:42.46\00:21:43.73
(LAUGHTER) HE IS GOING TO COME.
HE TOLD US TO LET PEOPLE KNOW.
00:21:43.73\00:21:48.80
HOW DOES THE BIBLE END?
'EVEN SO, COME LORD JESUS.'
00:21:48.80\00:21:52.61
>>AMEN. >>WE CAN'T
LOSE FAITH IN THAT,
00:21:52.61\00:21:54.71
FRIENDS. IT SAYS -
PETER SAYS, 'BUT THE
00:21:54.71\00:21:57.28
DAY OF THE LORD WILL COME AS A
THIEF IN THE NIGHT, IN WHICH THE
00:21:57.28\00:22:00.92
HEAVENS LL PASS AWAY WITH A
GREAT NOISE AND THE ELEMENTS
00:22:00.92\00:22:04.32
WILL MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT AND
THE EARTH ALSO AND THE THINGS
00:22:04.32\00:22:07.56
THAT ARE IN IT WILL BE
BURNED UP.' HE'S GOING TO COME.
00:22:07.56\00:22:10.59
ROMANS CHAPTER 13, VERSE 11,
"AND...KNOWING THE TIME, THAT
00:22:10.59\00:22:16.46
NOW IT IS HIGH TIME TO AWAKE OUT
OF SLEEP; FOR NOW OUR SALVATION
00:22:16.46\00:22:22.07
IS NEARER THAN
WHEN WE FIRST BELIEVED."
00:22:22.07\00:22:24.51
WHAT WERE THOSE - HOW MANY
OF THE TEN VIRGINS WERE WISE?
00:22:24.51\00:22:28.71
>>FIVE. >>HOW MANY WERE FOOLISH?
00:22:28.71\00:22:31.08
>>FIVE. >>HOW
MANY WERE SLEEPING?
00:22:31.08\00:22:33.01
>>ALL TEN. I WONDER
IF THE LORD'S TELLING
00:22:33.01\00:22:35.58
US SOMETHING ABOUT THE CONDITION
BEFORE THE BRIDEGROOM COMES.
00:22:35.58\00:22:39.65
WE NEED TO WAKE
UP. THE BIBLE SAYS THE
00:22:39.65\00:22:41.62
NIGHT IS FAR
SPENT. THE DAY IS AT HAND.
00:22:41.62\00:22:45.13
LET US, THEREFORE, CAST OFF THE
WORKS OF DARKNESS AND LET US PUT
00:22:45.13\00:22:48.43
ON THE ARMOR OF LIGHT.
FRIENDS, I BELIEVE WE'RE LIVING
00:22:48.43\00:22:51.87
IN THE MOST EXCITING
TIME IN THE EARTH'S HISTORY.
00:22:51.87\00:22:54.50
I BELIEVE THE LORD HAS TOLD
US IN HIS WORD AND THROUGH THE
00:22:54.50\00:22:57.77
SIGNS OF THE TIMES, THROUGH THE
STORIES OF THE BIBLE, THROUGH
00:22:57.77\00:23:01.64
THE CYCLES THAT
WE SEE IN PROPHECY -
00:23:01.64\00:23:04.05
AND WE'LL BE SHARING A LOT MORE.
00:23:04.05\00:23:05.25
YOU NEED TO STICK WITH THIS
PROGRAM BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO
00:23:05.25\00:23:07.42
BE SHARING THINGS THAT YOU'VE
MAYBE NEVER HEARD BEFORE, BUT I
00:23:07.42\00:23:10.02
PROMISE YOU IT'LL BE FROM THE
WORD OF GOD AND IT'S ALL GOING
00:23:10.02\00:23:12.89
TO TELL YOU THAT
CHRIST IS COMING SOON.
00:23:12.89\00:23:15.02
WHAT'S HAPPENING BEHIND THE
SCENES IN PROPHECY RIGHT NOW,
00:23:15.02\00:23:18.03
MUCH OF THE WORLD
IS CONFUSED ABOUT.
00:23:18.03\00:23:20.26
AND HOW WE CAN BE READY -
THE LORD HAS NOT FORGOTTEN US.
00:23:20.26\00:23:24.13
HE IS GOING TO COME AGAIN.
I REMEMBER BACK IN 1995, WHEN
00:23:24.13\00:23:28.54
ALL THIS UNFOLDED DURING THE
BOSNIAN WAR, ONE OF OUR FIGHTER
00:23:28.54\00:23:33.04
PILOTS, CAPTAIN SCOTT O'GRADY,
WAS FLYING OVER WAR-TORN BOSNIA
00:23:33.04\00:23:37.38
WHEN HIS F-16 WITH A SAM MISSILE
TORE THROUGH HIS AIRCRAFT.
00:23:37.38\00:23:43.28
AND AS HE PUMMELED TOWARDS THE
GROUND, HE PULLED THE EJECTION
00:23:43.28\00:23:46.45
LEVER AND HE EXPLODED OUT OF
WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE COCKPIT -
00:23:46.45\00:23:50.39
BURNED HIS FACE, INJURED HIS EYE
A LITTLE BIT, AND HE PARACHUTED
00:23:50.39\00:23:54.46
DOWN AND THEY SAW - THE ENEMY ON
THE GROUND SAW THAT THEY HIT HIM
00:23:54.46\00:23:58.13
AND THEY SAW HIM PARACHUTE DOWN.
THEY COULDN'T GET TO THE SPOT
00:23:58.13\00:24:00.80
QUICK ENOUGH AND HDROPPED HIS
'CHUTE AND WENT AND HID - LIKE A
00:24:00.80\00:24:04.17
SCARED ANIMAL - IN
THE BRUSH AND THE WOODS.
00:24:04.17\00:24:06.68
AND FOR SIX DAYS HE WAS TRYING
TO EVADE THE ENEMY IN STRANGE
00:24:06.68\00:24:12.31
TERRITORY AND HE
WAS HIDING UNDER BUSHES.
00:24:12.31\00:24:15.68
HE SAID SOMETIMES HE SAW THE
BOOTS GOING JUST RIGHT NEAR HIM
00:24:15.68\00:24:19.55
- OF THE ENEMY LOOKING FOR HIM.
THEY KNEW IF THEY COULD GET THAT
00:24:19.55\00:24:22.16
AMERICAN PILOT, IT
WOULD BE QUITE A TROPHY.
00:24:22.16\00:24:24.59
HE HAD A RADIO AND HE
KEPT CALLING FOR HELP.
00:24:24.59\00:24:26.86
HE SAW THAT THE BATTERY WAS
SLOWLY FADING ON HIS RADIO AND
00:24:26.86\00:24:29.43
HE WONDERED IF
ANYBODY WAS HEARING HIM.
00:24:29.43\00:24:32.30
AND HE SAID THE ONLY THING THAT
SUSTAINED HIM DURING THAT TIME
00:24:32.30\00:24:35.74
WAS HIS LOVE FOR GOD, HIS LOVE
FOR HIS FAMILY, AND HIS LOVE FOR
00:24:35.74\00:24:41.38
HIS COUNTRY. FOR
SIX DAYS CAPTAIN O'GRADY
00:24:41.38\00:24:45.95
HID, DRANK DIRTY WATER,
AND HE ATE BUGS AND DID ALL
00:24:45.95\00:24:50.95
HE COULD TO SURVIVE.
HE KEPT CALLING FOR HELP.
00:24:50.95\00:24:53.29
THEN FINALLY HE HEARD
SOMEBODY CALL BACK ON HIS RADIO.
00:24:53.29\00:24:57.66
THEY WERE AFRAID TO CALL HIM FOR
FEAR THAT OTHERS WOULD PICK UP
00:24:57.66\00:25:00.46
THE TRANSMISSION.AND
HE WAS GIVEN SOME
00:25:00.46\00:25:02.66
INSTRUCTIONS AND AFTER SIX
DAYS - THERE WAS A CLEARING.
00:25:02.66\00:25:06.20
HE SET OFF A FLARE AND A
HELICOPTER DESCENDED WITH 20
00:25:06.20\00:25:10.04
MARINES JUMPING OUT
TO CREATE A PERIMETER.
00:25:10.04\00:25:12.74
HE RAN TO THAT CHOPPER AND
JUMPED IN AS FAST AS HE COULD.
00:25:12.74\00:25:15.58
THE WHOLE THING
TOOK SEVEN MINUTES.
00:25:15.58\00:25:17.95
AND HE GOT BACK AND,
YOU KNOW, IT WAS AMAZING.
00:25:17.95\00:25:23.12
WHENEVER I HEAR THIS STORY - I
DON'T KNOW, I'M GETTING OLD AND
00:25:23.12\00:25:24.69
EMOTIONAL OR SOMETHING - JUST IT
WAS AMAZING TO ME THAT WHILE HE
00:25:24.69\00:25:29.62
WAS GOING THROUGH THAT ORDEAL
HE WONDERED 'HAS MY COUNTRY
00:25:29.62\00:25:32.33
FORGOTTEN ABOUT
ME? IS ANYBODY DOING
00:25:32.33\00:25:35.43
ANYTHING FOR ME? ARE
THEY GOING TO COME BACK?
00:25:35.43\00:25:37.93
MAYBE I'M JUST ONE SOLDIER
AND THEY DON'T CARE.' AND IF HE
00:25:37.93\00:25:41.07
COULD ONLY KNOW WHAT WAS
GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES.
00:25:41.07\00:25:44.41
THE WHOLE UNITED STATES
MILITARY, PLUS THE MILITARY OF
00:25:44.41\00:25:48.84
ALLIES, HAD BEEN
MOBILIZED TO SAVE ONE SOLDIER.
00:25:48.84\00:25:53.28
NOW, IF FAULTY MAN CAN DO THAT
FOR THEIR FELLOW MAN, WILL GOD
00:25:53.28\00:25:57.55
FORGET ABOUT US? >>NO.
00:25:57.55\00:25:59.39
>>IS HE GOING TO
COME AGAIN? >>YES.
00:25:59.39\00:26:01.62
>>FRIENDS, YOU CAN
COUNT ON IT. AND I THINK THE
00:26:01.62\00:26:03.39
TIME IS COMING SOON.
HE WANTS YOU TO BE READY.
00:26:03.39\00:26:06.43
AND ONCE YOU ARE READY, HE WANTS
YOU TO HELP GET OTHER PEOPLE
00:26:06.43\00:26:09.36
READY. BECAUSE
FRIENDS, CAN YOU TELL
00:26:09.36\00:26:11.20

MYSELF. >>MY
QUESTION WAS, 'WHY DID
00:27:16.30\00:27:19.20
THAT HAPPEN TO ME, GOD?'
THE LORD WAS ABLE TO REACH OUT
00:27:19.20\00:27:22.44
AND - AND I
ACTUALLY SAW HIM AS A FATHER.
00:27:22.44\00:27:24.97

WHEN I REALIZED THAT IT WAS GOD
00:27:24.97\00:27:29.31
