We are racing towards the
global crisis at the close.
00:00:04.47\00:00:09.57
God is going to set
up His kingdom on earth.
00:00:09.60\00:00:13.91
Preparation for the
tribulation and the translation
00:00:13.94\00:00:18.01
is to develop a
character like Jesus Christ
00:00:18.05\00:00:21.18
to reach every hamlet,
every village, every man,
00:00:21.22\00:00:24.79
every child,
every person in India,
00:00:24.82\00:00:27.16
every person in South America
00:00:27.19\00:00:28.66
must hear these
Three Angles' Messages.
00:00:28.69\00:00:34.36
These are
stories that illustrate
00:00:34.40\00:00:36.93
the kind of fabric of
character and perseverance
00:00:36.97\00:00:39.67
that we need to go
through the tribulation
00:00:39.70\00:00:42.24
just as certainly as they did.
00:00:42.27\00:00:44.14
The Bible makes it very clear,
00:00:44.17\00:00:45.57
we are living
in an unusual hour.
00:00:45.61\00:00:48.01
The last grains of sand
00:00:48.04\00:00:49.61
are trickling
through the hourglass of time
00:00:49.64\00:00:52.21
and the door probation
is about the swing shut.
00:00:52.25\00:00:55.38
Daniel 12:1, if
you have it say amen.
00:01:00.92\00:01:04.96
"At that time..."
fill in some blanks.
00:01:04.99\00:01:06.80
"At that time
Michael shall stand up,
00:01:06.83\00:01:08.36
the great prince who stands
00:01:08.40\00:01:10.13
watch over the sons of your
people, and there shall be..."
00:01:10.17\00:01:13.87
what everyone?
00:01:13.90\00:01:15.67
There shall be what?
00:01:15.70\00:01:17.34
"A time." Everybody say a time.
00:01:17.37\00:01:20.04
"A time of trouble."
00:01:20.08\00:01:23.88
A period of
time, a window of time
00:01:23.91\00:01:28.55
that is characterized
and dubbed trouble.
00:01:28.58\00:01:33.05
And the word trouble
could be rendered crisis.
00:01:33.09\00:01:39.03
Now the Bible
makes it very clear
00:01:39.06\00:01:41.83
the nature of this
trouble or should I say
00:01:41.86\00:01:44.57
the magnitude
and the scope of it.
00:01:44.60\00:01:47.14
Are you ready to read
the rest of the lines here?
00:01:47.17\00:01:50.94
And notice here, "And there
shall be a time of trouble..."
00:01:50.97\00:01:54.04
and it qualifies it
00:01:54.08\00:01:55.71
"such as never was
since there was a nation."
00:01:55.74\00:01:58.61
That's the magnitude of
it. That's the extent of it.
00:01:58.65\00:02:02.78
And so I want you to notice
00:02:02.82\00:02:04.15
"At that time your
people shall be delivered."
00:02:04.19\00:02:06.05
That sounds like
the favor of God.
00:02:06.09\00:02:08.56
You see in this seminar,
you're gonna see two things.
00:02:08.59\00:02:13.70
You're gonna see prophecies
that make your hair stand up,
00:02:13.73\00:02:18.20
if you have any.
00:02:18.23\00:02:19.80
Chilling prophecies,
00:02:19.83\00:02:23.14
but you're also gonna
see hope for tomorrow.
00:02:23.17\00:02:26.27
I tease people.
My wife is Esperanza.
00:02:26.31\00:02:29.94
My wife is Hispanic
and Esperanza means hope
00:02:29.98\00:02:33.08
and she goes by that name hope.
00:02:33.11\00:02:34.58
And so I tell
people don't worry,
00:02:34.62\00:02:35.95
I always have
hope, but anyway, right.
00:02:35.98\00:02:37.85
Daniel 12:1 makes it very
clear that we will be living
00:02:37.89\00:02:43.59
in the last
moments of earth's history
00:02:43.63\00:02:45.93
that is characterized
as a time of trouble
00:02:45.96\00:02:48.76
but Michael is gonna stand
up who watches over his people.
00:02:48.80\00:02:54.24
And so the Bible says,
"They will be delivered,
00:02:54.27\00:02:56.84
every one who is
found written in the book."
00:02:56.87\00:03:00.18
When you give
your name to the Lamb,
00:03:00.21\00:03:02.41
your name is written in
the Lamb's Book of Life.
00:03:02.44\00:03:05.38
A name is written
down in glory, amen.
00:03:05.41\00:03:08.08
And so the Bible makes it clear,
00:03:08.12\00:03:09.58
"The final crisis is
looming in the horizon
00:03:09.62\00:03:13.22
according to Bible Prophecy."
00:03:13.25\00:03:15.92
And so "What amazing prophecy
is given in the Book of Daniel
00:03:15.96\00:03:21.06
that is being
dramatically fulfilled
00:03:21.10\00:03:24.13
in this prophecy seminar?"
00:03:24.17\00:03:26.74
You walked in here tonight
00:03:26.77\00:03:28.70
perhaps not really knowing
just how special you are.
00:03:28.74\00:03:32.94
Now I mean it.
00:03:32.97\00:03:34.34
How many knew you
are a child of God
00:03:34.38\00:03:35.71
before you came in here tonight?
00:03:35.74\00:03:37.08
If you didn't, well, you are.
But I'm gonna tell you more.
00:03:37.11\00:03:40.62
How many would like to discover
00:03:40.65\00:03:42.02
how you can walk
more in the favor of God?
00:03:42.05\00:03:45.29
Take your Bible and turn
with me to Daniel Chapter 12.
00:03:45.32\00:03:48.06
Do you want to walk in
the favor of God, yes or no?
00:03:48.09\00:03:50.76
Daniel Chapter 12,
00:03:50.79\00:03:52.29
this is absolutely
thrilling in the extreme.
00:03:52.33\00:03:56.30
Daniel 12:4,
"But you, Daniel..."
00:03:56.33\00:04:02.60
notice here
"shut up the words..."
00:04:02.64\00:04:06.17
of the
prophecies "seal the book."
00:04:06.21\00:04:11.15
Seal it.
00:04:11.18\00:04:12.95
When you seal an
envelope you have contents,
00:04:12.98\00:04:16.55
they have been closed
00:04:16.58\00:04:17.92
until it reaches
its proper designation.
00:04:17.95\00:04:22.76
That address, that
name you put on the envelope
00:04:22.79\00:04:25.66
and that person is
intended to open it up
00:04:25.69\00:04:29.53
and read your letter.
00:04:29.56\00:04:31.17
God has special
letters, special--
00:04:31.20\00:04:34.84
how many agree
these are His letters.
00:04:34.87\00:04:37.41
These are His
letters, His scroll
00:04:37.44\00:04:40.08
and the Bible
makes it very clear
00:04:40.11\00:04:41.94
that in the last days,
00:04:41.98\00:04:43.48
do you believe we're
living in the last days,
00:04:43.51\00:04:44.95
if you don't hang
in there, you will.
00:04:44.98\00:04:46.95
I want to notice
here, "Shut up the words,
00:04:46.98\00:04:49.35
and seal the book
until the time of the end."
00:04:49.38\00:04:54.79
Right, so
there's a time of trouble
00:04:54.82\00:04:56.83
and there's a time of the end.
00:04:56.86\00:04:58.19
How will the world end?
00:04:58.23\00:04:59.56
We'll get to that in a moment,
00:04:59.59\00:05:00.93
but it will end but it
obviously hasn't ended yet.
00:05:00.96\00:05:03.80
So we must be living
in the time of the end.
00:05:03.83\00:05:09.30
This is a special time, a
set time for God's people.
00:05:09.34\00:05:13.68
I want to notice
here the Bible says,
00:05:13.71\00:05:15.88
"Shut up the
words, and seal the book
00:05:15.91\00:05:18.68
until the time of the end."
00:05:18.71\00:05:21.05
So in other words by inference,
00:05:21.08\00:05:23.28
in the last days
during the time of the end,
00:05:23.32\00:05:26.99
the prophecies
that are tucked away
00:05:27.02\00:05:29.22
in an ancient book called
Daniel would be unsealed...
00:05:29.26\00:05:33.86
revealed... unfolded,
00:05:33.90\00:05:38.53
disclosed, understood.
00:05:38.57\00:05:42.40
Prior to the time of the end,
00:05:42.44\00:05:44.24
you could probe
the Book of Daniel
00:05:44.27\00:05:46.34
but you
couldn't fully understand
00:05:46.37\00:05:47.84
specifically the
time prophecies of Daniel.
00:05:47.88\00:05:50.38
You know there are
some time prophecies.
00:05:50.41\00:05:52.88
We don't know
the day or the hour
00:05:52.91\00:05:54.25
when Jesus will come,
00:05:54.28\00:05:55.62
but there have been
some time prophecies
00:05:55.65\00:05:58.05
specified in Scripture.
00:05:58.09\00:05:59.85
Now I want to notice
here, "But you, Daniel,"
00:05:59.89\00:06:03.16
you Daniel "shut up the words,
00:06:03.19\00:06:04.53
and seal the book
until the time of the end."
00:06:04.56\00:06:06.76
And the time of the
end it's gonna be unsealed.
00:06:06.80\00:06:10.13
The prophecies of
Daniel will be unsealed
00:06:10.17\00:06:12.87
and as a result
what's gonna happen?
00:06:12.90\00:06:15.64
"Many shall run to and fro,
and knowledge shall increase."
00:06:15.67\00:06:23.35
What knowledge?
00:06:23.38\00:06:25.18
Knowledge in general
and prophetic knowledge.
00:06:25.21\00:06:29.25
I believe both are implied here
00:06:29.28\00:06:32.32
and I will
explain that in a moment
00:06:32.35\00:06:34.22
but I want to notice here,
00:06:34.26\00:06:35.59
what does it mean
running to and fro?
00:06:35.62\00:06:37.86
Well, you can apply it to
00:06:37.89\00:06:39.23
letting your eyes run to and fro
00:06:39.26\00:06:41.46
over the scrolls of
the prophecies of Daniel.
00:06:41.50\00:06:44.33
And as you run to and fro--
00:06:44.37\00:06:46.37
how many agree when you read,
your eyes are going to and fro.
00:06:46.40\00:06:50.11
To understand the Bible
talks about the eyes of the Lord
00:06:50.14\00:06:53.48
run to and fro
throughout the whole earth.
00:06:53.51\00:06:55.71
How many agree, His eyes
are bigger than our eyes?
00:06:55.74\00:06:58.65
But I want to notice here,
00:06:58.68\00:07:00.52
the Bible says that
they would run to and fro.
00:07:00.55\00:07:03.32
How many had to run
to and fro to get here
00:07:03.35\00:07:05.49
in order to have
your eyes run to and fro?
00:07:05.52\00:07:07.19
And so the Bible
makes it very clear
00:07:09.99\00:07:12.76
that as a result you
will be able to run to and fro
00:07:12.79\00:07:17.90
come to a seminar like
this and you can be part
00:07:17.93\00:07:21.07
of the dramatic
fulfillment of this utterance.
00:07:21.10\00:07:24.61
Right here
tonight pinch yourself,
00:07:24.64\00:07:26.51
you are favored by God.
00:07:26.54\00:07:28.54
"Many are called, few
are chosen." Matthew 22.
00:07:28.58\00:07:31.88
You have been
chosen to run to and fro
00:07:31.91\00:07:35.02
and have your
knowledge increase.
00:07:35.05\00:07:36.72
Would you agree
understanding our day
00:07:36.75\00:07:39.35
in the light of Bible prophecy
00:07:39.39\00:07:41.02
sounds like the
favor of God to me?
00:07:41.06\00:07:43.96
And so the Bible
makes it very clear
00:07:43.99\00:07:45.63
because it's not
favorable to be ignorant
00:07:45.66\00:07:48.80
about what's
happening in the world
00:07:48.83\00:07:50.17
and what's about to happen.
00:07:50.20\00:07:51.77
And so I want to notice here,
the Bible makes it very clear
00:07:51.80\00:07:54.34
"Shut up the
words, and seal the book
00:07:54.37\00:07:56.81
until the time of the
end, many shall run to and fro,
00:07:56.84\00:07:59.51
and knowledge shall increase."
00:07:59.54\00:08:02.71
Would you agree, we've gone from
00:08:02.74\00:08:04.75
the industrial age
and the, the space age
00:08:04.78\00:08:10.85
and the nuclear
age to information age
00:08:10.89\00:08:15.62
or you might just
say in the last 100 years
00:08:15.66\00:08:19.16
in particular
although not exclusively
00:08:19.19\00:08:22.36
there has been an
incredible, unprecedented,
00:08:22.40\00:08:25.53
highly concentrated
explosion of information?
00:08:25.57\00:08:29.84
Can you say
information overload?
00:08:29.87\00:08:33.17
How many agree, okay, I
don't want any information
00:08:33.21\00:08:36.01
for a while, I
just want to wedge out.
00:08:36.04\00:08:40.85
Information explosion,
00:08:40.88\00:08:43.99
sudden staggering
increase in medical
00:08:44.02\00:08:47.72
and scientific
breakthroughs, mind-boggling.
00:08:47.76\00:08:51.89
Would you agree
knowledge has been growing
00:08:51.93\00:08:55.06
by leaps and
bounds exponentially?
00:08:55.10\00:08:59.03
How many think about it in
terms of telecommunications?
00:08:59.07\00:09:04.44
You know, it used to be,
00:09:04.47\00:09:05.81
you want to get
somebody's attention,
00:09:05.84\00:09:07.18
you better have a loud voice.
00:09:07.21\00:09:09.74
Now you can whisper
00:09:09.78\00:09:11.55
to somebody over in
Tokyo from your cell phone.
00:09:11.58\00:09:14.58
This little
gadget, you just open it up
00:09:14.62\00:09:16.32
and talk to Tokyo
there just whisper.
00:09:16.35\00:09:18.32
You don't have to
talk loud. Amazing.
00:09:18.35\00:09:21.92
We have gone for example
"These amazing technological
00:09:21.96\00:09:26.13
breakthroughs enable the
gospel and Bible Prophecy
00:09:26.16\00:09:29.66
to be rapidly
proclaimed around the world."
00:09:29.70\00:09:31.57
Now do you see the connection
between general knowledge
00:09:31.60\00:09:34.24
and Bible Prophecy knowledge?
00:09:34.27\00:09:35.70
How many agree we got
some technology going on here
00:09:35.74\00:09:38.47
and we'll be
live streaming as well
00:09:38.51\00:09:40.78
and planning to get
this on television as well?
00:09:40.81\00:09:43.04
Would you agree
general knowledge
00:09:43.08\00:09:44.78
has helped
people to run to and fro
00:09:44.81\00:09:46.65
and get their knowledge
of Bible Prophecy increase?
00:09:46.68\00:09:48.78
Can you say amen?
00:09:48.82\00:09:51.12
It's amazing,
absolutely breathtaking.
00:09:51.15\00:09:54.66
By the way when prophets
00:09:54.69\00:09:56.99
would receive visions in Daniel,
00:09:57.03\00:09:58.96
Daniel Chapter 10, it says that,
00:09:58.99\00:10:01.16
when Daniel received visions,
00:10:01.20\00:10:04.17
the Bible says that
he had no breath in him.
00:10:04.20\00:10:07.20
He was supernaturally sustained.
00:10:07.24\00:10:09.44
So don't be surprised
if we're studying visions
00:10:09.47\00:10:12.54
that he received
and it's breathtaking.
00:10:12.57\00:10:15.08
All right, here we go.
00:10:15.11\00:10:16.98
I want to notice here, beloved.
00:10:17.01\00:10:19.41
Think about how we've
gone from the horse and buggy
00:10:19.45\00:10:23.15
to getting in
a, in a, in a plane
00:10:23.18\00:10:27.12
and traveling 200, 300,
00:10:27.16\00:10:30.43
400, 500 miles per hour.
00:10:30.46\00:10:35.66
Can you imagine?
00:10:35.70\00:10:37.23
Can you imagine
telecommunications
00:10:37.27\00:10:39.40
increase of
prophetic knowledge as well?
00:10:39.43\00:10:42.37
And so Books of
Daniel and Revelation
00:10:42.40\00:10:46.04
would be taken around the world.
00:10:46.07\00:10:48.44
We can go to the moon.
00:10:48.48\00:10:50.88
Now, we are probing
even Mars and so forth.
00:10:50.91\00:10:53.85
We are living in an
unusual hour of history.
00:10:53.88\00:10:57.75
Now, does God want to favor you
00:10:57.79\00:10:59.89
with an understanding
of end time prophecies
00:10:59.92\00:11:03.32
while there's all this
exciting new developments?
00:11:03.36\00:11:06.43
Would you agree
the most exciting thing
00:11:06.46\00:11:08.30
is to understand our day in
the light of Bible prophecy?
00:11:08.33\00:11:12.80
Would you agree
now that's exciting?
00:11:12.83\00:11:15.77
And so, beloved,
we cannot keep up
00:11:15.80\00:11:19.51
with all the rapid
startling changes in the world.
00:11:19.54\00:11:22.68
I mean, can you keep up
with the news or you can do--
00:11:22.71\00:11:25.48
how many agree
if you're like me,
00:11:25.51\00:11:27.68
you like to watch the
news to see what's going.
00:11:27.72\00:11:29.58
I didn't say it's good news,
00:11:29.62\00:11:31.42
I just said you want
to know what's going on.
00:11:31.45\00:11:33.15
But how many agree that
00:11:33.19\00:11:34.52
now you have to kind of
get a little smidgen here
00:11:34.56\00:11:36.19
and a little smidgen there,
that's about all you can do.
00:11:36.22\00:11:38.49
You and I, number one,
00:11:38.53\00:11:40.53
cannot keep up
with all the news.
00:11:40.56\00:11:42.66
Number two, our world is a world
00:11:42.70\00:11:46.53
in constant
agitation, influx and change.
00:11:46.57\00:11:51.67
Would you agree
our world is changing?
00:11:51.71\00:11:53.27
Go to sleep
tonight, you may wake up
00:11:53.31\00:11:55.54
to an entirely
different landscape tomorrow.
00:11:55.58\00:12:01.05
And so the Bible
makes it very clear
00:12:01.08\00:12:03.99
that in the last days indeed
our world is spinning faster
00:12:04.02\00:12:07.56
than ever before
with stupendous changes.
00:12:07.59\00:12:11.13
The Bible predicted
it and it's happening
00:12:11.16\00:12:14.83
from rock throwing
to nuclear weapons.
00:12:14.86\00:12:19.17
Will there be a
nuclear war in the near future?
00:12:19.20\00:12:21.87
Would you agree this is
not a good breakthrough?
00:12:21.90\00:12:25.54
Oh, we had an
information and we misused it.
00:12:25.57\00:12:29.51
How many agree with
breakthrough in medical
00:12:29.54\00:12:33.68
and scientific
achievements and successes,
00:12:33.72\00:12:37.92
would you agree there
needs to be some morality
00:12:37.95\00:12:39.82
to handle all of this stuff.
00:12:39.85\00:12:43.46
So will there be a
nuclear war in the near future?
00:12:43.49\00:12:48.06
Will the world be destroyed
by a nuclear holocaust?
00:12:48.10\00:12:51.63
The Bible says in the last days,
00:12:51.67\00:12:54.44
men's hearts would be
failing them from fear.
00:12:54.47\00:12:58.37
Is there still an
ominous threat of a nuclear war?
00:12:58.41\00:13:03.45
Are there plenty of
weapons of mass destruction
00:13:03.48\00:13:07.95
to cause the
strongest of us to tremble?
00:13:07.98\00:13:11.99
The US and Russia still have
thousands of nuclear weapons
00:13:12.02\00:13:15.66
ready to be
launched within 15 minutes.
00:13:15.69\00:13:20.43
Furthermore,
00:13:20.46\00:13:21.96
we have the power to destroy
civilization as we know it.
00:13:22.00\00:13:29.57
The potential is
there and my Bible tells me
00:13:29.60\00:13:34.48
in Revelation
Chapter 11, go there with me.
00:13:34.51\00:13:38.51
You want to know the
news behind the news.
00:13:38.55\00:13:40.68
Go to Revelation Chapter
11, Revelation Chapter 11.
00:13:40.72\00:13:44.55
Are we learning
something tonight?
00:13:44.59\00:13:46.35
Verse 18 says, verse 18,
00:13:46.39\00:13:49.06
"The nations were angry,
and Your wrath is come..."
00:13:49.09\00:13:56.20
Last part of that verse.
00:13:56.23\00:13:58.07
"And should destroy
those who destroy the earth."
00:13:58.10\00:14:03.81
The Bible says
the Lord is gonna come
00:14:03.84\00:14:05.74
and destroy those
who destroyed the earth.
00:14:05.77\00:14:09.04
Mankind now has the
unprecedented ability,
00:14:09.08\00:14:13.21
capability, wherewithal
to destroy civilization
00:14:13.25\00:14:17.85
in a blink of an
eye, vaporized in seconds.
00:14:17.89\00:14:23.73
But is God going to
allow this world to become
00:14:23.76\00:14:27.43
and be reduced to a
spinning globe of ash?
00:14:27.46\00:14:29.90
Hang in there, listen to me.
00:14:29.93\00:14:32.03
The bomb of Hiroshima
killed 100,000 people.
00:14:32.07\00:14:37.94
And you remember
it was August 6, 1945,
00:14:37.97\00:14:45.45
and three
aircraft flew over Japan
00:14:45.48\00:14:51.62
and it barely had enough time
00:14:51.65\00:14:53.46
to send out an
emergency bulletin,
00:14:53.49\00:14:55.92
an emergency announcement
00:14:55.96\00:14:59.63
that there were
spotted three aircraft
00:14:59.66\00:15:02.90
flying over there in Japan
in retaliation to the attack,
00:15:02.93\00:15:09.57
the merciless
attack on Pearl Harbor
00:15:09.60\00:15:12.31
just prior to this.
00:15:12.34\00:15:14.14
And you remember,
bombs were dropped
00:15:14.18\00:15:17.71
Nagasaki and also Hiroshima.
00:15:17.75\00:15:21.55
And you remember at
first all of a sudden
00:15:21.58\00:15:23.15
there was the blue
flash across the sky,
00:15:23.18\00:15:26.76
then followed by that
00:15:26.79\00:15:29.76
was a blinding blue
flash over Hiroshima,
00:15:29.79\00:15:33.33
then there was an
unearthly silence,
00:15:33.36\00:15:37.37
then there was a
mind-boggling eruption,
00:15:37.40\00:15:41.34
then there was this
ominous mushroom cloud,
00:15:41.37\00:15:45.91
this orange
cloud of boiling gases
00:15:45.94\00:15:51.75
and then utter decimation.
00:15:51.78\00:15:57.12
And then the world
changed its course.
00:16:00.46\00:16:06.93
World would never be the same.
00:16:06.96\00:16:10.33
The Bible says, "When
they say, 'Peace and safety!'
00:16:10.37\00:16:14.87
Then sudden
destruction comes upon them,
00:16:14.90\00:16:19.64
as labor pains
upon a pregnant woman."
00:16:19.67\00:16:23.14
1 Thessalonians 5:1-3.
00:16:23.18\00:16:27.25
And so the Bible
makes it very clear
00:16:27.28\00:16:29.92
that in the last days
mankind would be fearful
00:16:29.95\00:16:33.89
about what's gonna happen next.
00:16:33.92\00:16:37.86
The bomb of
Hiroshima killed 100,000 people
00:16:37.89\00:16:41.70
and the nuclear
weapons we have today
00:16:41.73\00:16:44.03
is the equivalent of
80,000 Hiroshima bombs.
00:16:44.07\00:16:48.04
Oh, yeah, we talk
about destroying them,
00:16:48.07\00:16:49.84
we talk about, you know,
deescalating and so forth.
00:16:49.87\00:16:54.11
John F. Kennedy said,
00:16:54.14\00:16:56.31
"Mankind must put an end to war
00:16:56.34\00:16:58.38
or war will put
an end to mankind."
00:16:58.41\00:17:01.78
And so what could set
off a nuclear exchange
00:17:01.82\00:17:04.85
between the nations?
00:17:04.89\00:17:06.29
The most likely way a
nuclear war could start
00:17:09.16\00:17:13.09
is by accident or
by an unwarranted,
00:17:13.13\00:17:20.10
unnecessary panic
attack or overreaction.
00:17:20.14\00:17:25.47
How many agree,
mankind, the smarter they get,
00:17:25.51\00:17:29.21
the more foolish they are?
00:17:29.24\00:17:32.68
The ferocious winds
have changed, beloved,
00:17:32.71\00:17:35.65
are blowing from
every corner of the globe.
00:17:35.68\00:17:40.06
What is happening
in our world right now
00:17:40.09\00:17:42.59
are breathtaking changes.
00:17:42.62\00:17:45.46
But come with me now,
00:17:45.49\00:17:47.23
come with me now to
the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s.
00:17:47.26\00:17:51.70
You remember "Who Has the Bomb,
00:17:51.73\00:17:54.00
The Nuclear Threat is
Spreading." Time Magazine.
00:17:54.04\00:17:56.67
"Arms Control,
Making the Wrong Moves."
00:17:56.71\00:17:59.57
Time Magazine,
"Defusing the Nuclear Threat."
00:17:59.61\00:18:02.31
"The Doomsday Plan."
00:18:02.34\00:18:04.25
And we remember
there were Star Wars
00:18:04.28\00:18:06.48
and building up
weapons of mass destruction.
00:18:06.51\00:18:09.45
Then we talk about, you
know, dismantling and so forth,
00:18:09.48\00:18:11.95
talk about a new wave
of peace and so forth.
00:18:11.99\00:18:14.42
Well, you remember,
how many remember in 1987
00:18:14.46\00:18:18.56
and an unforgettable
speech by president,
00:18:18.59\00:18:21.03
former President
Ronald Reagan made a speech
00:18:21.06\00:18:24.90
in which he told
Gorbachev tear down this wall
00:18:24.93\00:18:29.04
referring to the Berlin
Wall which about 100 miles
00:18:29.07\00:18:32.34
was about 100
miles there in Germany.
00:18:32.37\00:18:35.44
And you
remember that they would,
00:18:35.48\00:18:37.91
you know, there were guard posts
00:18:37.95\00:18:39.88
and they would machine gun down
00:18:39.91\00:18:41.75
any perpetrators who
would try to go free.
00:18:41.78\00:18:44.82
I mean, the
Berlin Wall was iconic.
00:18:44.85\00:18:46.86
It was a grim metaphor of two
different competing ideologies
00:18:46.89\00:18:52.63
and in between
freedom and oppression,
00:18:52.66\00:18:55.90
between
communism and Christianity.
00:18:55.93\00:18:58.93
But I'm here to tell you
that God is on the throne.
00:18:58.97\00:19:01.87
God is in control.
00:19:01.90\00:19:03.41
God is in rule.
00:19:03.44\00:19:05.04
And so communism
was losing its hold.
00:19:05.07\00:19:08.61
Virtually overnight,
00:19:08.64\00:19:12.61
overnight the
Eastern Bloc countries
00:19:12.65\00:19:15.72
of Europe expunged communism.
00:19:15.75\00:19:19.35
In virtually a
bloodless revolution
00:19:19.39\00:19:21.56
that swept through Europe
00:19:21.59\00:19:25.79
and that result the
wall would come down.
00:19:25.83\00:19:29.80
The suddenness
of these monumental,
00:19:29.83\00:19:33.20
game changing events
took the world by surprise!
00:19:33.23\00:19:36.14
Don't just see that change can
happen that is big and quick.
00:19:36.17\00:19:42.94
The diplomats were surprised.
00:19:42.98\00:19:46.15
Even CIA was surprised.
00:19:46.18\00:19:49.12
The encyclopedias they
would have to be redone.
00:19:49.15\00:19:52.99
The maps, well, they
would have to be reconfigured.
00:19:53.02\00:19:57.46
Total change. Total change.
00:19:57.49\00:20:01.76
Beloved, tonight
something big could happen
00:20:01.80\00:20:07.84
that would change
the course of our world.
00:20:07.87\00:20:10.57
And do you know
the Bible tells us
00:20:10.61\00:20:12.67
about some of those paradigm
shifter events that are coming.
00:20:12.71\00:20:17.58
How many would like
to know the big changes
00:20:17.61\00:20:19.88
that are coming
before they come?
00:20:19.91\00:20:22.35
You will know. You will know.
00:20:22.38\00:20:25.35
Overnight the fall
of the Soviet Union,
00:20:25.39\00:20:28.62
the once all-powerful
Soviet Union collapsed.
00:20:28.66\00:20:32.79
And then how many
remembered Gorbachev
00:20:32.83\00:20:36.63
and President
Reagan meeting together.
00:20:36.67\00:20:40.94
Unforgettable, overnight
Gorbachev even became a hero.
00:20:40.97\00:20:44.71
He's like now
that's my kind of Russian.
00:20:44.74\00:20:47.94
How many
remember him going there,
00:20:47.98\00:20:49.31
he was like a rock star there
00:20:49.34\00:20:50.91
going his limousine
Downtown New York City
00:20:50.95\00:20:53.38
were like this is
the guy that we like.
00:20:53.42\00:20:57.09
Then came 1991,
couple years after 1989
00:20:57.12\00:21:02.32
when the Berlin Wall
came down communism fell.
00:21:02.36\00:21:05.59
1991 the resolve
of the United States
00:21:05.63\00:21:09.76
would be tested
along with our allies,
00:21:09.80\00:21:12.23
when Saddam Hussein attempted
to annex Kuwait to Iraq.
00:21:12.27\00:21:18.27
And you remember
we responded swiftly.
00:21:18.31\00:21:21.91
And how many remember how
CNN really became powerful CNN.
00:21:21.94\00:21:27.22
How many remember
seeing the fireworks over Iraq?
00:21:27.25\00:21:31.05
Let me tell you something.
00:21:31.09\00:21:32.99
Now, for the first
time, you were able to see war
00:21:33.02\00:21:37.86
as it happens not
getting photos weeks later.
00:21:37.89\00:21:42.20
Oh, beloved,
00:21:42.23\00:21:43.83
we are living in the
last days of earth's history.
00:21:43.87\00:21:48.77
You remember we
kicked Saddam Hussein out.
00:21:48.80\00:21:51.44
We took-- should've
taken him out then, right.
00:21:51.47\00:21:54.68
But I'm here to tell
you that what happened,
00:21:54.71\00:21:56.71
what happened on
the heels of that?
00:21:56.75\00:21:58.75
Then the United
States of America
00:21:58.78\00:22:01.18
was being touted as
00:22:01.22\00:22:02.72
and we still are the
sole remaining superpower.
00:22:02.75\00:22:07.62
Head and shoulders
above all the others,
00:22:07.66\00:22:11.09
king of the
road, king of the hill,
00:22:11.13\00:22:15.23
but who is the
next global superpower.
00:22:15.26\00:22:18.50
Is there gonna be China?
00:22:18.53\00:22:20.60
One eminent military
officer recently said
00:22:20.64\00:22:25.97
China is not a rising power,
00:22:26.01\00:22:30.21
it is a global power.
00:22:30.25\00:22:34.18
And indeed China is
growing stronger and bigger
00:22:34.22\00:22:40.79
almost a billion
strong day by day.
00:22:40.82\00:22:44.29
Changes are happening.
00:22:44.33\00:22:45.83
Will China be the
next global superpower?
00:22:45.86\00:22:48.10
Will Russia...?
00:22:48.13\00:22:49.46
Will Russia have a comeback?
00:22:49.50\00:22:51.33
Will Russia be the
next global superpower?
00:22:51.37\00:22:53.97
How about the European Union
00:22:54.00\00:22:55.54
that is really
having its woes of late
00:22:55.57\00:22:57.87
and financial
troubles and so forth.
00:22:57.91\00:22:59.97
Will there be a European Union
00:23:00.01\00:23:01.78
that will rule the
world as a superpower?
00:23:01.81\00:23:04.41
Will Europe ever become a
united political superpower?
00:23:04.45\00:23:09.02
Right now we shall see
the march of the nations
00:23:09.05\00:23:13.36
and what
everything is leading up to.
00:23:13.39\00:23:15.49
How many agree everything
is leading up to something
00:23:15.52\00:23:17.96
and the Bible
tells us that something.
00:23:17.99\00:23:20.20
We want to discover our day
in the light of Bible Prophecy.
00:23:20.23\00:23:24.33
Come with me to
the Book of Daniel.
00:23:24.37\00:23:26.90
Actually we're gonna look first,
00:23:26.94\00:23:28.70
that we're looking
at ancient prophecy
00:23:28.74\00:23:30.67
and ancient king's dream,
00:23:30.71\00:23:34.08
the dream of
King Nebuchadnezzar.
00:23:34.11\00:23:37.05
Spell Nebuchadnezzar.
00:23:37.08\00:23:38.81
All right, we
will skip that for now.
00:23:38.85\00:23:41.18
King Nebuchadnezzar's dream.
00:23:41.22\00:23:43.72
He went to sleep, he must
have been entertaining thoughts
00:23:43.75\00:23:47.42
about the future of
his empire, how you figure,
00:23:47.46\00:23:50.79
and he went to sleep and
he had a remarkable dream.
00:23:50.83\00:23:55.20
And when he awoke
he couldn't recall it.
00:23:55.23\00:23:58.23
He couldn't retrieve it.
00:23:58.27\00:23:59.60
It wasn't there in
the computer screen
00:23:59.63\00:24:03.07
and he was troubled and worried.
00:24:03.10\00:24:06.21
He knew it had importance.
00:24:06.24\00:24:08.08
This was an ancient king's dream
00:24:08.11\00:24:11.31
and this dream
would give us 20--
00:24:11.35\00:24:14.35
give him and us 2,500
years of history in advance.
00:24:14.38\00:24:22.16
And furthermore what
does the future whole
00:24:22.19\00:24:25.83
based on this panorama prophecy.
00:24:25.86\00:24:30.07
Isaiah 46, let's first
go to Isaiah 46, right.
00:24:30.10\00:24:33.64
We got to put our
foot on the accelerator.
00:24:33.67\00:24:35.40
Is that okay? Here we go.
00:24:35.44\00:24:36.77
Isaiah 46:9, 10,
00:24:36.81\00:24:39.34
"Remember the former things old,
00:24:39.37\00:24:40.98
for I am God, and
there is no other,
00:24:41.01\00:24:42.71
I am God, and
there is none like Me..."
00:24:42.74\00:24:44.41
What can God do?
What does He say?
00:24:44.45\00:24:46.78
"Declaring the end
from the beginning,
00:24:46.82\00:24:49.35
And from ancient times
00:24:49.38\00:24:50.72
the things that
are not yet done,
00:24:50.75\00:24:52.32
Saying My counsel shall stand,
and I will do all My pleasure."
00:24:52.35\00:24:57.36
God is in control, amen.
00:24:57.39\00:24:59.19
And so the Bible
makes it very clear
00:24:59.23\00:25:01.36
that God can tell you
the end from the beginning
00:25:01.40\00:25:04.53
and this dream is a classic
example of what God is saying.
00:25:04.57\00:25:10.41
And so Amos
Chapter 3, Amos Chapter 3.
00:25:10.44\00:25:13.71
Let's go there
after the Book of Daniel,
00:25:13.74\00:25:15.94
we're going to
the Book of Amos 3:7.
00:25:15.98\00:25:19.88
Bring your Bible tomorrow night.
00:25:19.91\00:25:21.72
"Surely the Lord
God does nothing,
00:25:21.75\00:25:24.55
unless He reveals His secrets,
00:25:24.59\00:25:27.76
His secrets to His
servants, the prophets."
00:25:27.79\00:25:31.29
Would you agree God
giving His secrets of the future
00:25:31.33\00:25:35.26
and what God is about to do,
00:25:35.30\00:25:36.93
what's gonna
happen among the nation's
00:25:36.97\00:25:38.43
giving His
secrets to the prophets.
00:25:38.47\00:25:40.34
Would you agree, they were
receiving the favor of God.
00:25:40.37\00:25:43.34
And if you and I
understand the secrets
00:25:43.37\00:25:45.54
that God gave to them,
00:25:45.57\00:25:46.91
would you agree you are
walking in the favor of God
00:25:46.94\00:25:49.94
in the last days.
00:25:49.98\00:25:51.31
Amen. Because
ignorance is not bliss.
00:25:51.35\00:25:54.55
Because the
truth is the only thing
00:25:54.58\00:25:57.12
that can set you free John 8:32.
00:25:57.15\00:26:01.22
So does God want us to know
00:26:01.26\00:26:03.06
the secrets of
end time prophecy?
00:26:03.09\00:26:05.26
"And now I have told
you before it comes..."
00:26:05.29\00:26:07.56
Before, before, before
00:26:07.60\00:26:10.83
"That when it
does come to pass..."
00:26:10.87\00:26:12.43
What will that
help you to do? Believe.
00:26:12.47\00:26:15.00
"That you may
believe." John 14:29.
00:26:15.04\00:26:17.94
So why study Bible prophecy?
00:26:17.97\00:26:19.81
Why should you break
away from your routine
00:26:19.84\00:26:22.51
and come out
here night by night?
00:26:22.54\00:26:24.31
Because you can have more faith.
00:26:24.35\00:26:25.88
How many could use a little
more faith in your life, amen.
00:26:25.91\00:26:28.85
And so I'm here to tell
you why study Bible prophecy,
00:26:28.88\00:26:31.99
I repeat it because God gives
you the news behind the news
00:26:32.02\00:26:36.86
and might I add this a bad news
is reminder of the good news
00:26:36.89\00:26:42.63
that Jesus
Christ is really coming
00:26:42.66\00:26:44.63
and He is coming soon.
00:26:44.67\00:26:46.00
And so prophecy
reveals three things.
00:26:46.03\00:26:48.74
Prophecy reveals three things.
00:26:48.77\00:26:50.51
Number one, God is in control.
00:26:50.54\00:26:53.48
Number two, you
can believe the Bible.
00:26:53.51\00:26:56.11
Number three, we are
living in the time of the end.
00:26:56.14\00:26:59.15
Those three things are paramount
00:26:59.18\00:27:01.32
when you study Bible prophecy.
00:27:01.35\00:27:03.45
So prophecy is
history in advance.
00:27:03.49\00:27:06.25
Can you say that with me?
00:27:06.29\00:27:07.62
Prophecy is history in advance.
00:27:07.66\00:27:11.09
History confirms Bible prophecy.
00:27:11.13\00:27:14.13
So you could say it this way.
00:27:14.16\00:27:16.13
Well, then if
prophecy is history in advance
00:27:16.16\00:27:19.77
and God knows the
end from the beginning,
00:27:19.80\00:27:21.70
then history is His story, amen.
00:27:21.74\00:27:25.61
So King Nebuchadnezzar,
now you can spell it.
00:27:25.64\00:27:27.64
King Nebuchadnezzar
could not remember the dream.
00:27:27.68\00:27:30.68
Couldn't recall it, vanished
00:27:30.71\00:27:33.85
and so he rang
his royal kingly bell
00:27:33.88\00:27:37.75
and ushered in,
rushing in all blurry eyed
00:27:37.79\00:27:43.99
or his presidential cabinet,
00:27:44.03\00:27:47.63
his trusted
presidential advisers
00:27:47.66\00:27:53.50
and they were known as wise men.
00:27:53.54\00:27:56.17
They were astrologers,
00:27:56.20\00:27:58.41
not to be confused
with good science astronomy.
00:27:58.44\00:28:00.98
They were astrologers,
they were soothsayers,
00:28:01.01\00:28:05.11
they were
magicians and there were some
00:28:05.15\00:28:08.75
intellectually
elite mathematicians
00:28:08.78\00:28:11.39
and so forth of the empire.
00:28:11.42\00:28:14.72
But most have it
was bankrupt knowledge.
00:28:14.76\00:28:19.56
And so you remember
Nebuchadnezzar said look guys,
00:28:19.59\00:28:22.63
I didn't sleep good last night.
00:28:22.66\00:28:24.00
I had a dream
and I need to know it
00:28:24.03\00:28:27.17
and I can't remember it.
00:28:27.20\00:28:28.60
You guys need to help me out.
00:28:28.64\00:28:29.97
I pay you good,
now I'll pay your more.
00:28:30.01\00:28:31.34
I'll give you bonus
but please help me out.
00:28:31.37\00:28:33.78
You've got to
give this dream to me.
00:28:33.81\00:28:35.48
I can't have a no, I must
have and I must have it now.
00:28:35.51\00:28:41.25
The wise men could not
help the frustrated king.
00:28:41.28\00:28:43.45
They said, king, you
know, no, no, we can't help you.
00:28:43.49\00:28:47.32
And so you remember, all
right, off with your heads.
00:28:47.36\00:28:51.19
You all bunch of
fools. I mean, he was mad.
00:28:51.23\00:28:55.43
And King Nebuchadnezzar
usually got his way
00:28:55.46\00:28:58.33
but he couldn't,
he couldn't come up
00:28:58.37\00:29:00.17
with the dream
and said that's it.
00:29:00.20\00:29:02.00
He issued a swift
harsh death decree.
00:29:02.04\00:29:06.84
Sudden changes are about to
catch the world by surprise.
00:29:06.88\00:29:10.65
Amazing Bible

00:30:03.87\00:30:09.60
Now the swift harsh
death decree included Daniel,
00:30:09.64\00:30:14.21
Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego, the four Hebrews.
00:30:14.24\00:30:17.35
Why?
00:30:17.38\00:30:18.71
Because they were some trusted
advisors to the king as well.
00:30:18.75\00:30:24.19
They were not astronomers,
they were not soothsayers,
00:30:24.22\00:30:26.62
they were not magicians
00:30:26.65\00:30:28.09
but the Bible
makes it very clear
00:30:28.12\00:30:29.56
they had superior intellect,
superior wisdom from God.
00:30:29.59\00:30:33.29
Would you agree they
were highly favored, amen.
00:30:33.33\00:30:37.23
They were favored by God
00:30:37.27\00:30:38.60
with knowledge and
insight and understanding.
00:30:38.63\00:30:42.04
They understood prophecy.
00:30:42.07\00:30:44.34
And so but they weren't there
on that night, they were not,
00:30:44.37\00:30:47.04
they were not backend
into the royal bed chambers
00:30:47.08\00:30:50.55
on that unforgettable night.
00:30:50.58\00:30:52.95
And so the death
decree included them
00:30:52.98\00:30:54.68
and when they
came to their abode,
00:30:54.72\00:30:57.19
when they came to their,
00:30:57.22\00:30:58.55
to their house
Daniel and his friend said,
00:30:58.59\00:31:02.06
wait a minute
give our God a chance
00:31:02.09\00:31:06.53
and He will give us the
dream and its interpretation.
00:31:06.56\00:31:10.83
See King Nebuchadnezzar
asked his advisors, he said,
00:31:10.87\00:31:15.17
can you come up with the dream?
00:31:15.20\00:31:17.14
No, I need you to
come up with a dream
00:31:17.17\00:31:19.57
and an interpretation
and they said well, king,
00:31:19.61\00:31:21.94
you come up with a dream
00:31:21.98\00:31:23.41
and we'll give you
the interpretation.
00:31:23.45\00:31:26.82
And he called they are bluff.
00:31:26.85\00:31:28.18
He said look guys, if
you come up with the dream
00:31:28.22\00:31:31.85
then I'll believe
your interpretation.
00:31:31.89\00:31:35.52
So they were bankrupt.
00:31:35.56\00:31:37.53
And by the way
astrology is bankrupt.
00:31:37.56\00:31:41.33
But I want you to notice here
00:31:41.36\00:31:43.60
what were Daniel and his
Hebrew friends doing in Babylon.
00:31:43.63\00:31:47.14
Oh, Jerusalem was destroyed
in 605 BC before Christ
00:31:47.17\00:31:51.07
and then these young people
were transported into Babylon
00:31:51.11\00:31:54.54
where they would be enrolled
into Babylonian university
00:31:54.58\00:31:58.55
would be
reprogrammed, they're reeducated
00:31:58.58\00:32:01.38
and some of them would be set up
00:32:01.42\00:32:03.42
as governmental officials
and leaders in Babylon.
00:32:03.45\00:32:07.79
And Daniel and his
friends like I say,
00:32:07.82\00:32:09.62
they were among the
intellectually elite,
00:32:09.66\00:32:11.26
they were among
comprising this brain trust.
00:32:11.29\00:32:13.76
But now they said give God time.
00:32:13.80\00:32:16.67
Give God time.
00:32:16.70\00:32:18.77
And what do you think they did
with the little window of time
00:32:18.80\00:32:20.87
that was granted
by Nebuchadnezzar.
00:32:20.90\00:32:23.07
They prayed.
00:32:23.10\00:32:25.44
They prayed.
00:32:25.47\00:32:26.81
The Bible makes it very clear
00:32:26.84\00:32:28.94
that they knew only God
could help them in this jam.
00:32:28.98\00:32:32.75
Have you ever been in a jam?
00:32:32.78\00:32:36.89
And they prayed.
00:32:36.92\00:32:38.92
And I bet you not one of
those four Hebrews fell asleep
00:32:38.95\00:32:43.26
during that prayer
meeting, what do you think?
00:32:43.29\00:32:46.26
It's amazing how
you can stay alert
00:32:46.29\00:32:48.26
and awake in pray when
your life is on the line.
00:32:48.30\00:32:50.90
And so they prayed.
00:32:50.93\00:32:53.00
There is power in prayer.
00:32:53.03\00:32:56.47
I'm here to tell you
that my parents prayed for me.
00:32:56.50\00:33:00.51
I almost died in the near
fatal motorcycle accident.
00:33:00.54\00:33:03.98
I was a high school
dropout after ninth grade
00:33:04.01\00:33:08.28
and at the age of
17, I almost lost my life
00:33:08.32\00:33:11.25
in that near-fatal
motorcycle accident
00:33:11.29\00:33:13.39
but my parents prayed.
00:33:13.42\00:33:16.12
I was raised in
a Christian home.
00:33:16.16\00:33:18.29
My father a Christian pastor,
00:33:18.33\00:33:20.43
but I was the PPK,
the pastor's prodigal kid.
00:33:20.46\00:33:23.37
I wanted nothing
to do with church,
00:33:23.40\00:33:24.93
nothing to do with God
and almost lost my life,
00:33:24.97\00:33:28.24
but my parents prayed.
00:33:28.27\00:33:29.74
Almost lost my mind in
drugs, but my parents prayed.
00:33:29.77\00:33:34.11
Almost lost up my freedom,
00:33:34.14\00:33:37.58
almost went to jail
for three to five years,
00:33:37.61\00:33:39.38
but my parents and
their church members prayed.
00:33:39.41\00:33:43.65
I know there is power in prayer.
00:33:43.69\00:33:47.96
My fast-forward
my relatives said
00:33:47.99\00:33:51.29
Mark, wake up
you're gonna have to adopt
00:33:51.33\00:33:55.13
after we had Caleb 10 years ago
00:33:55.16\00:33:58.87
we knew we wanted
to have another child
00:33:58.90\00:34:01.60
but because my wife
and I were up there in age
00:34:01.64\00:34:06.24
and my wife had two
miscarriages after Caleb,
00:34:06.27\00:34:09.81
they said Mark,
00:34:09.84\00:34:11.21
come on now you need
to have another child.
00:34:11.25\00:34:14.95
You need to adopt.
Nothing wrong with adopting.
00:34:14.98\00:34:17.72
I think adoption
is a very good thing
00:34:17.75\00:34:20.52
but God made it clear to me
00:34:20.56\00:34:22.69
and He put it in my
spirit, in my faith.
00:34:22.72\00:34:24.39
How many agree God will
put things in your heart?
00:34:24.43\00:34:27.53
He puts it there and
I knew He put in there
00:34:27.56\00:34:30.17
that we will have a child.
00:34:30.20\00:34:32.07
And so Bible says if you
have faith you can prophesy,
00:34:32.10\00:34:35.64
you can say something that's
gonna happen if you believe.
00:34:35.67\00:34:37.87
How many agree
out of the abundance
00:34:37.91\00:34:40.78
of the heart the mouth says
00:34:40.81\00:34:42.28
things that are gonna happen
00:34:42.31\00:34:43.65
when everybody
thinks around you like,
00:34:43.68\00:34:45.65
you know, yeah, right.
00:34:45.68\00:34:47.85
But I give all the glory
to Jesus just as Daniel said,
00:34:47.88\00:34:50.45
God will give us the dream.
00:34:50.49\00:34:53.09
I knew that God would
give me my dream come true.
00:34:53.12\00:34:56.89
And when my wife became pregnant
00:34:56.93\00:34:59.83
I don't remember them saying,
oh, Mark, we are so sorry.
00:34:59.86\00:35:04.93
But God answers prayer.
00:35:04.97\00:35:07.10
God answers prayer.
00:35:07.14\00:35:09.00
"Weeping may
tarry for the night,
00:35:09.04\00:35:11.57
but joy comes in the
morning." Psalms 30:5.
00:35:11.61\00:35:15.54
There's power in
prayer so they prayed
00:35:15.58\00:35:18.48
but, you know,
it's not enough to pray.
00:35:18.51\00:35:22.68
You can't get a
dream while you're awake.
00:35:22.72\00:35:30.16
They prayed and
then they went to sleep.
00:35:30.19\00:35:32.06
See sometimes what we do we pray
00:35:36.03\00:35:37.43
and then we go back to worrying,
00:35:37.47\00:35:38.80
all right now
what am I gonna do.
00:35:38.83\00:35:41.07
They went to sleep
00:35:41.10\00:35:43.07
because they trusted
that God heard their prayer.
00:35:43.10\00:35:46.21
How many agree what
things so ever you desire
00:35:46.24\00:35:48.01
"When you pray,
believe that you receive them,
00:35:48.04\00:35:49.48
and you shall
have them" Mark 11:24.
00:35:49.51\00:35:51.71
So they believed
and they went to sleep
00:35:51.75\00:35:53.95
and that's when God
gave Daniel the same dream
00:35:53.98\00:35:57.55
that Nebuchadnezzar had
that he couldn't recall.
00:35:57.59\00:35:59.95
Daniel have the exact same dream
00:35:59.99\00:36:02.72
and we go now to
Daniel Chapter 2,
00:36:02.76\00:36:05.93
Daniel Chapter 2.
00:36:05.96\00:36:08.46
All right, we're
going there very quickly.
00:36:08.50\00:36:10.20
Are we learning
something tonight?
00:36:10.23\00:36:12.03
Daniel Chapter 2,
00:36:12.07\00:36:13.60
we're looking
there, Daniel Chapter 2.
00:36:13.64\00:36:18.14
If we're gonna
understand prophecy.
00:36:18.17\00:36:20.94
Let's read the prophecy.
00:36:20.98\00:36:22.58
Daniel 2:31 the
Bible says "You, O king,"
00:36:22.61\00:36:27.95
you see Daniel was ushered in
00:36:27.98\00:36:29.72
to the presence of
the Babylonian monarch.
00:36:29.75\00:36:34.12
Daniel wants to speak to you.
00:36:34.16\00:36:35.92
Daniel, do you have the dream?
00:36:35.96\00:36:39.79
Give God the glory,
He gave me the dream.
00:36:39.83\00:36:43.37
Daniel, I'm listening.
00:36:43.40\00:36:44.73
I can see King Nebuchadnezzar
with his eyes widened
00:36:44.77\00:36:48.90
and his mouth
dropped and perspiring
00:36:48.94\00:36:51.67
and he is sitting on
the edge of his throne,
00:36:51.71\00:36:53.68
I can see him
listening every syllable
00:36:53.71\00:36:55.91
that would come
from the lips of Daniel,
00:36:55.94\00:36:59.11
the Hebrew captive.
00:36:59.15\00:37:02.48
Bible says, "You, O
king, were watching;
00:37:02.52\00:37:06.86
and behold, a great image!"
00:37:06.89\00:37:08.22
Great image.
00:37:08.26\00:37:09.59
You know, up her on the
stage we have that image,
00:37:09.62\00:37:12.63
the picture, painting of Him.
00:37:12.66\00:37:15.96
"You, O king, were watching,
and behold, a great image!
00:37:16.00\00:37:19.33
This great image,
whose splendor was excellent,
00:37:19.37\00:37:21.64
stood before you,
and its form was awesome.
00:37:21.67\00:37:25.44
Okay, young people there's
00:37:25.47\00:37:26.81
where we get that
word awesome there
00:37:26.84\00:37:28.84
and now ever since
young people started this
00:37:28.88\00:37:30.98
now we're all
saying, awesome, awesome.
00:37:31.01\00:37:33.48
Guess what, it
wasn't new Daniel said.
00:37:33.52\00:37:35.38
All right, anyway, verse 32
00:37:35.42\00:37:38.15
"This image's
head was of fine gold,
00:37:38.19\00:37:40.76
its chest and arms of silver,
00:37:40.79\00:37:42.72
its belly and thighs of
bronze, its legs of iron,
00:37:42.76\00:37:46.23
its feet partly of
iron and partly of clay.
00:37:46.26\00:37:48.80
You watched while a stone
was cut out without hands..."
00:37:48.83\00:37:52.17
Divine origin.
00:37:52.20\00:37:53.64
"Which struck the
image on its..." What?
00:37:53.67\00:37:55.57
"On its feet of iron and
clay, and broke them in pieces.
00:37:55.60\00:37:57.91
Then the iron, the
clay, the bronze, the silver,
00:37:57.94\00:37:59.94
and the gold
were crushed together,
00:37:59.97\00:38:01.64
and became like chaff from
the summer threshing floors,
00:38:01.68\00:38:04.35
the wind carried them away
00:38:04.38\00:38:05.71
so that no trace
of them was found.
00:38:05.75\00:38:08.25
And the stone
that struck the image
00:38:08.28\00:38:09.78
became a great mountain
and filled the whole earth."
00:38:09.82\00:38:12.62
That's the next
coming global superpower.
00:38:12.65\00:38:17.56
The rock that will not roll.
00:38:17.59\00:38:20.06
And so I want you to notice
00:38:20.10\00:38:21.43
in Daniel's
smashing prophecy panorama.
00:38:21.46\00:38:24.33
I want you to notice
here, beloved as we continue.
00:38:24.37\00:38:27.87
Daniel said to
him, Nebuchadnezzar,
00:38:27.90\00:38:31.91
you see this image,
"You are the head of gold."
00:38:31.94\00:38:37.45
Nebuchadnezzar's heart swelled.
00:38:37.48\00:38:40.85
He was proud of
his achievements.
00:38:40.88\00:38:45.25
You know there at Babylon
00:38:45.29\00:38:46.65
there was the temple
of Marduk 300 feet high.
00:38:46.69\00:38:50.49
Outside it was covered
with blue glazed brick,
00:38:50.53\00:38:53.03
overlaid with gold.
00:38:53.06\00:38:54.40
The altar and
throne were made of
00:38:54.43\00:38:56.93
eight and half
tons of solid gold.
00:38:56.97\00:39:00.10
How many have heard of the
Hanging Gardens of Babylon,
00:39:00.14\00:39:02.60
one of the wonders of the world?
00:39:02.64\00:39:04.37
It was known as the Golden City,
00:39:04.41\00:39:06.21
200 temples,
twice the size of Rome,
00:39:06.24\00:39:08.84
enough food to
last for 40 years.
00:39:08.88\00:39:11.61
And you thought you had
enough beans in your cabin.
00:39:11.65\00:39:14.92
I want to notice
here then Daniel said,
00:39:14.95\00:39:21.42
"After you another
kingdom is gonna come
00:39:21.46\00:39:26.43
under the stage of history,
is gonna overtake your empire."
00:39:26.46\00:39:31.47
There will be another kingdom
and its inferior to yours.
00:39:31.50\00:39:34.74
Oh, boy, that part of the puzzle
00:39:34.77\00:39:39.51
did not go over
well but it was the truth
00:39:39.54\00:39:42.98
because God knows the
end from the beginning.
00:39:43.01\00:39:46.11
"He removes kings
and raises up kings."
00:39:46.15\00:39:50.55
Daniel 2:21.
00:39:50.59\00:39:52.29
Everybody say it with
me, God is in control.
00:39:52.32\00:39:56.42
The Bible predicted how Babylon
would fall and who would do it.
00:39:56.46\00:40:01.10
The Bible predicted that Cyrus,
00:40:01.13\00:40:04.70
Cyrus would march his
troops down the dry riverbed
00:40:04.73\00:40:08.80
of the Euphrates because he
diverted the River Euphrates
00:40:08.84\00:40:12.97
and the water level came down
00:40:13.01\00:40:15.54
and enabled his troops to
go down the River Euphrates
00:40:15.58\00:40:19.71
that was the
lifeblood of Babylon,
00:40:19.75\00:40:22.52
dissected the city.
00:40:22.55\00:40:24.85
And there were two walls
there that surrounded the city
00:40:24.89\00:40:29.62
and the outer wall and
the inner wall had gates.
00:40:29.66\00:40:33.80
How many have ever
heard of Ishtar Gate?
00:40:33.83\00:40:36.16
And what happened
is they marched down
00:40:36.20\00:40:39.93
through dry riverbed and
under through the outer gates
00:40:39.97\00:40:46.04
and the inner gate was
carelessly left unlocked
00:40:46.07\00:40:51.18
because that night there
was a drunken debauchery,
00:40:51.21\00:40:54.85
there was a
drunken orgy going on,
00:40:54.88\00:40:56.95
there was a drunken festivity,
00:40:56.99\00:40:59.15
there was a party
in Babylon going on
00:40:59.19\00:41:02.69
and the men and women
were mingling and dancing
00:41:02.72\00:41:06.03
and the music was
playing and their senses
00:41:06.06\00:41:09.16
were going to
sleep, they were drunk.
00:41:09.20\00:41:12.47
And that night while the
troops were moving in Cyrus
00:41:12.50\00:41:19.21
the Bible names Cyrus
150 years before his birth,
00:41:19.24\00:41:23.01
Isaiah 45:1.
00:41:23.04\00:41:25.08
The man Cyrus
would overtake Babylon
00:41:25.11\00:41:28.12
and it would
happen suddenly, swiftly.
00:41:28.15\00:41:31.65
Oh, Babylon looked impregnable,
00:41:31.69\00:41:34.26
looked impregnable.
00:41:37.19\00:41:39.39
Belshazzar,
grandson of Nebuchadnezzar
00:41:39.43\00:41:43.33
threw this party for his lords.
00:41:43.37\00:41:47.64
And in a defiant moment
00:41:47.67\00:41:51.81
he told his
servants go to the storage
00:41:51.84\00:41:56.28
where we have the sacred vessels
00:41:56.31\00:41:58.65
that were taken
from the Hebrew sanctuary
00:41:58.68\00:42:02.42
and bring some of those vessels
00:42:02.45\00:42:03.95
and bring the seven branch
candlestick bring them in here.
00:42:03.99\00:42:06.72
They lit the
seven branch candlestick
00:42:06.76\00:42:08.82
and they begin to
fill Babylonian wine
00:42:08.86\00:42:11.29
in these sacred vessels
00:42:11.33\00:42:13.09
and he began to toast to
the gods of silver and gold.
00:42:13.13\00:42:16.46
All of a sudden a
bloodless hand emerged
00:42:16.50\00:42:19.13
amidst the murky
shadows of the night
00:42:19.17\00:42:20.94
and edge the
judgment fiery letters
00:42:20.97\00:42:23.81
many, many tickle you parson.
00:42:23.84\00:42:26.94
The Bible says the
king's face turned pale.
00:42:26.98\00:42:30.91
Usually if you drink
too much it turns red.
00:42:30.95\00:42:32.88
Well, his face turned pale.
Very sobering writing there.
00:42:32.91\00:42:37.75
And the Bible says
his knees knocked together
00:42:37.79\00:42:41.46
and nobody could--
00:42:41.49\00:42:43.06
I can see him there,
00:42:43.09\00:42:44.43
is anybody know what that means?
00:42:44.46\00:42:46.43
No, no, no, no, no.
00:42:46.46\00:42:47.96
Let me tell you
the music stopped,
00:42:48.00\00:42:51.33
the goblets fell to the
floor, the laughter stopped.
00:42:51.37\00:42:57.27
He asked Daniel to come in.
00:42:57.31\00:42:58.91
You see, Daniel
wasn't at the party.
00:42:58.94\00:43:00.64
How many agree if
you want to be ready
00:43:00.68\00:43:02.04
when Jesus comes,
don't go to the party.
00:43:02.08\00:43:05.91
But don't worry there's
going to be a big party.
00:43:05.95\00:43:07.98
Can you say, amen?
00:43:08.02\00:43:09.95
But you know what
happened that night?
00:43:09.98\00:43:12.82
That night Daniel said,
I'll tell you what it means,
00:43:12.85\00:43:19.06
"Thou art
weighed in the balances,
00:43:19.09\00:43:21.66
and found wanting."
00:43:21.70\00:43:23.57
Your kingdom is given
00:43:23.60\00:43:24.93
to the Medes and the Persians
and that night Babylon fell.
00:43:24.97\00:43:31.11
The king his kings--
00:43:31.14\00:43:33.38
the king's life was
taken that very moment.
00:43:33.41\00:43:36.98
"Arise, O Lord, do
not let man prevail,
00:43:37.01\00:43:39.85
let the nations be
judged in your sight."
00:43:39.88\00:43:42.05
Psalms 9:19.
00:43:42.08\00:43:43.72
Is America being
weighed in the balances?
00:43:43.75\00:43:47.29
I think about what
Thomas Jefferson said.
00:43:47.32\00:43:50.16
How many agree there are
parallels between the nations
00:43:50.19\00:43:52.53
that have risen and fallen
00:43:52.56\00:43:54.43
and the United
States of America.
00:43:54.46\00:43:56.87
"I tremble for my country
00:43:56.90\00:43:59.47
when I reflect that God is just,
00:43:59.50\00:44:02.10
that His justice
cannot sleep forever."
00:44:02.14\00:44:06.88
And so, beloved, is
America drunk with sin?
00:44:06.91\00:44:09.98
Are we toasting to the
gods of silver and gold
00:44:10.01\00:44:12.78
while we do it in sacred vessels
00:44:12.81\00:44:15.48
in God we trust.
00:44:15.52\00:44:17.59
Is America mixing the
world in Christianity?
00:44:20.49\00:44:24.63
Is that what's
happening, beloved.
00:44:24.66\00:44:26.56
"And another angel
followed them, saying,
00:44:26.59\00:44:28.23
'Babylon is fallen, is
fallen, that great city,
00:44:28.26\00:44:31.23
because she has made
all nations drink..."
00:44:31.27\00:44:32.97
including America
00:44:33.00\00:44:34.34
"drink of the wine of the
wrath of her fornication."
00:44:34.37\00:44:36.40
So the Bible
makes it crystal clear
00:44:36.44\00:44:38.17
that in the last days,
00:44:38.21\00:44:39.71
mystery Babylon
would fall suddenly,
00:44:39.74\00:44:42.91
sudden change just
like literal Babylon fell.
00:44:42.94\00:44:47.08
You say what is mystery Babylon,
00:44:47.12\00:44:48.72
we got that message coming.
00:44:48.75\00:44:51.79

"If the Son sets you

00:45:13.51\00:45:16.85
John 8:36.
00:45:16.88\00:45:19.01
What is the future
of many of our cities?
00:45:23.85\00:45:25.92
Will many of our cities
suddenly fall by nuclear attack
00:45:25.95\00:45:30.93
flood, fire, famine,
nuclear war, suitcase bomb,
00:45:30.96\00:45:36.26
chemical,
biological weapon unleashed,
00:45:36.30\00:45:41.37
earthquake, tsunami, hurricane?
00:45:41.40\00:45:46.01
I'm here to tell
you, it's gonna happen,
00:45:46.04\00:45:49.14
it's gonna happen.
00:45:49.18\00:45:50.68
"When we get piled upon
one another in large cities,
00:45:50.71\00:45:53.42
as in Europe, we shall
become is corrupt as Europe."
00:45:53.45\00:45:56.45
Thomas Jefferson.
00:45:56.48\00:45:58.29
Then came the
Medes and the Persians
00:45:58.32\00:46:00.42
represented by the two
arms of silver Medes Persians,
00:46:00.46\00:46:04.63
they were dual dynasty at first,
00:46:04.66\00:46:06.73
then came the brass of Greece,
00:46:06.76\00:46:10.37
the brass of Greece
reigning 331 BC to 168 BC.
00:46:10.40\00:46:14.54
Alexander the Great came
in like a shooting meteor
00:46:14.57\00:46:17.21
and conquered
that then known world.
00:46:17.24\00:46:19.54
What world empire ruled next?
00:46:19.57\00:46:21.21
By the way they had
bronze shields, bronze helmets,
00:46:21.24\00:46:25.31
bronze spears and so forth.
00:46:25.35\00:46:26.92
Hence you have
here bronze for Greece.
00:46:26.95\00:46:30.09
What world
empire will next rule?
00:46:30.12\00:46:31.79
The Rome. The Roman Empire.
00:46:31.82\00:46:34.12
It was the greatest
empire the world has ever known.
00:46:34.16\00:46:36.56
For four centuries Rome ruled
00:46:36.59\00:46:38.03
over a quarter of
the people on the planet.
00:46:38.06\00:46:40.03
The rise and fall of an empire.
00:46:40.06\00:46:42.86
Let me tell you something
there are the emperor's
00:46:42.90\00:46:45.70
the mad, the
brutal, and the brilliant.
00:46:45.73\00:46:47.97
And you remember the
most famous of them all
00:46:48.00\00:46:49.74
was what, Julius Caesar.
00:46:49.77\00:46:52.21
He overthrew the
government he served
00:46:52.24\00:46:54.94
and brought revolution to Rome.
00:46:54.98\00:46:57.58
You remember the
cruel entertainment of Rome.
00:46:57.61\00:46:59.48
You say, Mark, what's
the point here about Rome?
00:46:59.51\00:47:01.48
We're walking in
the footsteps of Rome
00:47:01.52\00:47:03.39
tonight in America.
00:47:03.42\00:47:05.69
There were 50,000 spectators,
00:47:05.72\00:47:07.49
are we not being entertained
to death by death, violence.
00:47:07.52\00:47:12.99
Guess what?
00:47:13.03\00:47:14.36
They love their
violent entertainment in Rome
00:47:14.40\00:47:16.36
and they fell.
00:47:16.40\00:47:18.63
Fifty thousand spectators
went to the Roman Coliseum
00:47:18.67\00:47:23.41
gladiatorial contest or
games, public spectacles,
00:47:23.44\00:47:26.98
mock sea battles,
animal hunts, executions,
00:47:27.01\00:47:29.34
re-enactments of
famous battles, and dramas.
00:47:29.38\00:47:31.68
Oh, yeah, they had it all there.
00:47:31.71\00:47:33.48
Estimated that
about 500,000 people,
00:47:33.52\00:47:35.52
over a million wild animals
died in the Coliseum games.
00:47:35.55\00:47:39.75
How many remember
watching Ben-Hur for example?
00:47:39.79\00:47:42.42
The Caesars demanded
worship and those who refuse,
00:47:42.46\00:47:46.16
well, thousands and
thousands spectators watched
00:47:46.19\00:47:50.73
as Christians were
lit as human torch's
00:47:50.77\00:47:54.24
and torn from limb to
limb and eaten alive by lions.
00:47:54.27\00:47:57.87
The more Christians
were martyred though
00:47:57.91\00:47:59.77
and persecuted for
their faith in Jesus,
00:47:59.81\00:48:01.61
the more they multiplied.
00:48:01.64\00:48:03.65
And so is America following
in the footsteps of Rome?
00:48:03.68\00:48:08.02
Are we following the
footsteps of Babylon? We are.
00:48:08.05\00:48:10.29
Are we following
the footsteps of Rome?
00:48:10.32\00:48:13.09
You see, we can
understand stay with me.
00:48:13.12\00:48:15.69
"We can
understand signs of the times
00:48:15.72\00:48:17.36
or the judgments of God
00:48:17.39\00:48:18.73
as we review His
dealings with man,
00:48:18.76\00:48:20.10
cities and
nations in time past."
00:48:20.13\00:48:21.93
Because what happens
history repeats itself.
00:48:21.96\00:48:26.60
History repeats itself.
00:48:26.63\00:48:29.37
"The average age of the
world's great civilizations
00:48:29.40\00:48:31.84
has been 200 years."
00:48:31.87\00:48:33.71
And nations
follow this progress.
00:48:33.74\00:48:36.28
Listen, listen
"Nation's progress
00:48:36.31\00:48:37.91
through the following
sequence" and see where we are.
00:48:37.95\00:48:40.42
You with me yes or no?
00:48:40.45\00:48:42.58
"From bondage
to spiritual faith,
00:48:42.62\00:48:46.12
from spiritual
faith to great courage,
00:48:46.15\00:48:47.89
from courage to liberty,
from liberty to abundance,
00:48:47.92\00:48:50.26
from abundance to selfishness,
from selfishness to complacency
00:48:50.29\00:48:53.40
from complacency to apathy,
00:48:53.43\00:48:55.46
from apathy to dependence,
from dependence to bondage."
00:48:55.50\00:48:57.90
Where are we? I
leave you to judge.
00:48:57.93\00:49:01.70
The United States of America
was 200 years old in 1976.
00:49:01.74\00:49:04.87
I think we're on borrowed time.
00:49:04.91\00:49:07.91
Rome ruled until 476 AD
00:49:07.94\00:49:10.35
along iron
monarchy rule of Rome there,
00:49:10.38\00:49:14.18
the iron rule of Rome.
00:49:14.22\00:49:16.52
Then came the ten
divisions of Rome or Europe.
00:49:16.55\00:49:19.92
Initially there were
ten divisions represented
00:49:19.95\00:49:22.06
fittingly by the ten toes
that part and these toes were,
00:49:22.09\00:49:26.80
and these feet were
part clay and part iron.
00:49:26.83\00:49:29.83
Some of the nations of
Europe were and are strong
00:49:29.86\00:49:32.73
some were weak militarily,
economically, and so forth,
00:49:32.77\00:49:36.10
it is true today.
00:49:36.14\00:49:37.54
Originally these ten divisions
were the Alamanni with us
00:49:37.57\00:49:40.21
in the form of Germans.
00:49:40.24\00:49:41.58
Frank's,
French. Saxons, English.
00:49:41.61\00:49:43.11
Visigoths,
Spanish. Burgundians, Swiss.
00:49:43.14\00:49:45.15
Lombards,
Italians, Suvi, Portuguese.
00:49:45.18\00:49:48.02
And these ten
original tribes or Kingdoms
00:49:48.05\00:49:51.69
find their modern counterparts
00:49:51.72\00:49:53.05
in the modern
nations of Europe today,
00:49:53.09\00:49:54.82
with the exception of three,
00:49:54.86\00:49:56.46
the Vandals,
Heruli and Ostrogoths.
00:49:56.49\00:49:58.39
Now watch this, watch this.
00:49:58.43\00:50:00.03
How did notable rulers
attempt to unite Europe?
00:50:00.06\00:50:03.30
The Bible says here
look at Daniel Chapter 2.
00:50:03.33\00:50:06.53
Our time is running out.
00:50:06.57\00:50:08.10
Look here at Daniel Chapter 2,
00:50:08.14\00:50:10.31
Daniel 2:43
00:50:10.34\00:50:17.25
"And as you saw iron
mixed with ceramic clay,
00:50:17.28\00:50:19.91
they "Europe, divided Rome"
00:50:19.95\00:50:23.22
will mingle with
the seed of men...
00:50:23.25\00:50:25.15
Intermarriage among nobility.
00:50:25.19\00:50:28.02
"But they will not
adhere to one another,
00:50:28.06\00:50:30.16
just as iron does not
mix with iron and clay."
00:50:30.19\00:50:33.40
Listen, how many
remember, how many remember
00:50:33.43\00:50:36.77
how the heads of
nobility in Europe
00:50:36.80\00:50:41.90
years ago they decided,
00:50:41.94\00:50:45.04
let's try to weld
together histories
00:50:45.07\00:50:46.88
Humpty Dumpty
back together again
00:50:46.91\00:50:48.54
but you know the riddle,
00:50:48.58\00:50:51.21
"Humpty Dumpty sat on
a wall. Had a great fall.
00:50:51.25\00:50:54.15
All the king's horses
and all the king's men
00:50:54.18\00:50:56.22
couldn't put Humpty
Dumpty back together again."
00:50:56.25\00:50:58.95
They tried to
employ the methodology,
00:50:58.99\00:51:01.32
the strategy of
intermarriage among nobility
00:51:01.36\00:51:04.09
but God's word does not
break and cannot be shaken.
00:51:04.13\00:51:07.90
The Bible says here that
they would try to weld together
00:51:07.93\00:51:11.73
unite Europe but the Bible
said it would miserably fail.
00:51:11.77\00:51:15.84
Oh, yes, seven words
tucked away in an ancient book
00:51:15.87\00:51:18.61
that come ringing
down the quarters of time,
00:51:18.64\00:51:20.58
they will not cling
or cleave one to another.
00:51:20.61\00:51:24.28
And so you remember
Napoleon, what did he do?
00:51:24.31\00:51:26.82
Napoleon divorced Josephine
and married Louisa of France.
00:51:26.85\00:51:32.09
Why? To further
his Napoleonic order.
00:51:32.12\00:51:34.89
But what happened to
Napoleon divine intervention,
00:51:34.92\00:51:38.99
God is on the throne.
00:51:39.03\00:51:40.40
There was Waterloo synonymous
with defeat to this day.
00:51:40.43\00:51:44.07
Artillery bogged down on
the torrential in the mud
00:51:44.10\00:51:46.97
from the torrential rains.
00:51:47.00\00:51:48.70
Generals
misunderstood the commands.
00:51:48.74\00:51:51.14
How many agree this
was not a coincidence?
00:51:51.17\00:51:53.17
God told
Napoleon not gonna happen.
00:51:53.21\00:51:57.01
Oh, yes, then there
was Hitler and many others
00:51:57.05\00:51:59.01
Kaiser Wilhelm and
Louis XIV and a host of others
00:51:59.05\00:52:02.55
but I think about Hitler.
00:52:02.58\00:52:04.19
In the 1930's a
mad dictator arose,
00:52:04.22\00:52:06.55
you remember,
it look like Europe
00:52:06.59\00:52:08.16
may be controlled by
Hitler and his Nazi regime.
00:52:08.19\00:52:12.83
And you remember the
British you remember this
00:52:12.86\00:52:15.23
that the British were about
to lose their army at Dunkirk.
00:52:15.26\00:52:19.57
There were a number of key
turning points in that world,
00:52:19.60\00:52:23.67
in that World War, World War II
00:52:23.71\00:52:26.37
and a turning point
was the Battle of Dunkirk.
00:52:26.41\00:52:29.38
That was one of the
pivotal turns in the war.
00:52:29.41\00:52:33.18
There was the
invasion of Normandy
00:52:33.21\00:52:34.92
another special, special
turning point in that war.
00:52:34.95\00:52:40.32
God's word cannot fail.
00:52:40.36\00:52:42.06
They will try to
bring together the nations
00:52:42.09\00:52:45.89
and make one
Europe, but the Bible says
00:52:45.93\00:52:48.56
and the Bible
proves true always,
00:52:48.60\00:52:50.70
let man be a liar
God is not a liar.
00:52:50.73\00:52:53.34
He says, they will
not cleave one to another.
00:52:53.37\00:52:56.47
I go to the bank on
God's word, can you say, amen.
00:52:56.50\00:52:59.27
And so through God's providence,
00:52:59.31\00:53:00.94
through God's providence
00:53:00.98\00:53:03.24
all these would
be notable rulers
00:53:03.28\00:53:06.55
came against
the wall of prophecy
00:53:06.58\00:53:09.78
and the prophecy did not
budge because God intervene
00:53:09.82\00:53:14.52
and the turning points came.
00:53:14.56\00:53:16.26
Will Europe ever
be politically united?
00:53:16.29\00:53:18.99
It may look like it.
00:53:19.03\00:53:20.53
It may seem like it.
00:53:20.56\00:53:22.73
There may be a
short-lived period
00:53:22.76\00:53:24.93
in which there seems
to be political unity
00:53:24.97\00:53:27.17
and so forth but my Bible
tells me it will not last,
00:53:27.20\00:53:30.84
it will not
work because God says
00:53:30.87\00:53:33.27
there will not be
another ruling empire
00:53:33.31\00:53:37.48
in the world only.
00:53:37.51\00:53:39.28
What's gonna
happen? What's gonna happen?
00:53:39.31\00:53:42.32
"They shall not
cleave one to another."
00:53:42.35\00:53:45.12
They shall not
cleave one to another.
00:53:45.15\00:53:47.59
There will be
efforts to unite Europe.
00:53:47.62\00:53:49.52
There will be efforts to be sure
00:53:49.56\00:53:51.36
but what is the
next world kingdom,
00:53:51.39\00:53:53.46
the next global superpower?
00:53:53.50\00:53:55.66
"You watched while a
stone was cut out without hands,
00:53:55.70\00:54:01.67
which struck the image on
its feet of iron and clay,
00:54:01.70\00:54:04.77
and broke them in pieces."
00:54:04.81\00:54:08.01
What does the rock
represent, everyone?
00:54:08.04\00:54:10.41
The rock represents the
coming of Jesus' Kingdom.
00:54:10.45\00:54:14.58
And let me tell
you when He comes,
00:54:14.62\00:54:16.45
it's gonna be a smashing event.
00:54:16.48\00:54:18.65
The Bible makes it very clear,
can you say, I go to the rock,
00:54:18.69\00:54:22.49
oh, in this time of
hostility among the nations,
00:54:22.52\00:54:25.16
in this time of instability,
in this time of trouble
00:54:25.19\00:54:29.40
and turmoil and turbulence
you need to go to the rock,
00:54:29.43\00:54:33.07
you need the
rock, you need Jesus,
00:54:33.10\00:54:35.47
you need Him more
than you ever have before.
00:54:35.50\00:54:38.17
"And all the
kingdoms of the world
00:54:38.21\00:54:40.01
would become like chaff
00:54:40.04\00:54:42.34
from the summer threshing floors
00:54:42.38\00:54:44.35
the wind carried them away
so that no trace was found.'"
00:54:44.38\00:54:47.28
How many agree all
these kingdoms in the world
00:54:47.32\00:54:49.48
they're gonna be passed,
00:54:49.52\00:54:51.25
they're gonna be
gone, they're gonna vanish.
00:54:51.29\00:54:53.05
And the stone, the
stone of Christ's kingdom,
00:54:53.09\00:54:56.76
The stone that struck the
image became a great mountain.
00:54:56.79\00:55:00.20
That's the next coming
global new world order, beloved.
00:55:00.23\00:55:04.20
It will fill the whole earth.
00:55:04.23\00:55:06.00
The meek will one
day inherit the earth.
00:55:06.03\00:55:09.20
Will your faith hold up?
00:55:09.24\00:55:11.67
Oh, let it not be on anything
00:55:11.71\00:55:14.84
other than the rock
of Christ Jesus because
00:55:14.88\00:55:17.25
"Heaven and
earth will pass away,
00:55:17.28\00:55:19.38
but my words
will not pass away."
00:55:19.41\00:55:22.32
"In the days of these kings
00:55:22.35\00:55:23.79
the God of heaven
will set up a kingdom
00:55:23.82\00:55:25.65
which shall
never be destroyed..."
00:55:25.69\00:55:27.79
Do you recognize
good news tonight?
00:55:27.82\00:55:29.66
"And the kingdom shall
not be left to other people,
00:55:29.69\00:55:32.03
it shall break in pieces
00:55:32.06\00:55:33.40
and consume all
these kingdoms..."
00:55:33.43\00:55:34.93
And everybody together
and "It shall stand forever."
00:55:34.96\00:55:38.00
Oh, beloved, I
say this in closing.
00:55:38.03\00:55:40.10
"The kingdoms of this world
00:55:40.14\00:55:41.94
have become the kingdoms
of our Lord and His Christ,
00:55:41.97\00:55:44.41
and He shall
reign forever and ever."
00:55:44.44\00:55:48.41
If he rules in your
heart, you will rule with Him.
00:55:48.44\00:55:52.48
If you give your heart to Jesus,
00:55:52.51\00:55:55.35
you'll be saved.
00:55:55.38\00:55:56.72
Jesus said it this way.
00:55:56.75\00:55:59.35
He said when they asked Him,
00:55:59.39\00:56:03.96
don't you know that we
have power over you Pilate said.
00:56:03.99\00:56:09.80
And they said prophesy,
00:56:09.83\00:56:11.17
you remember the
soldiers hit him,
00:56:11.20\00:56:12.53
prophesy who hits you?
00:56:12.57\00:56:14.40
And you remember ultimately
he spoke out and he said,
00:56:14.44\00:56:19.31
"You will see the Son of Man
00:56:19.34\00:56:21.84
coming on the clouds of
heaven in power and glory."
00:56:21.88\00:56:28.48
The man that wore the
crown of thorns for you,
00:56:28.52\00:56:32.29
my friends, He is not
coming with the crown of thorns.
00:56:32.32\00:56:34.89
He's coming
crowned King of Kings
00:56:34.92\00:56:37.26
and Lord of lords
and is coming soon.
00:56:37.29\00:56:39.93
Do you want to
be ready, yes or no?
00:56:39.96\00:56:41.56
If you want to be
ready stand with me,
00:56:41.60\00:56:43.20
stand with me and let's
make that commitment tonight.
00:56:43.23\00:56:46.00
The Bible makes it very
clear that kingdom is coming.
00:56:46.03\00:56:49.57
Nothing is more important
00:56:49.60\00:56:52.04
than being ready for that stone.
00:56:52.07\00:56:54.48
Jesus said this as I pray.
00:56:54.51\00:56:57.65
Jesus said,
whoever falls on the rock
00:56:57.68\00:57:01.45
shall be broken,
00:57:01.48\00:57:03.62
but whomever the rock holds upon
00:57:03.65\00:57:05.85
will be grind to powder...
00:57:05.89\00:57:07.56
Matthew 21:43.
00:57:07.59\00:57:09.22
So we have a
choice tonight as we pray.
00:57:09.26\00:57:12.39
Either fall on the rock
00:57:12.43\00:57:13.80
and let yourself be
completely broken up
00:57:13.83\00:57:16.97
where He takes hold.
00:57:17.00\00:57:18.93
Just fall on the rock,
00:57:18.97\00:57:20.30
fall upon Jesus
Christ, fall upon Him.
00:57:20.34\00:57:23.07
Cast your helpless
soul upon Him tonight.
00:57:23.10\00:57:26.64

and alarming changes
