01:02 For, God, now, take us, put our minds in the frame to receive 01:08 your Word tonight. 01:11 Now, God, like last night, it won't be a cotton-candy 01:13 word, it's going to be a word that cuts. 01:17 But, God, we pray that we would receive through our hearts 01:21 tonight what you have for us. 01:23 And when we leave here, we'll be able to say 01:26 it was good to have been here. 01:27 Hide me behind your cross, forgive us of our sins. 01:29 In the name of Jesus, we pray. 01:31 Let everyone say Amen. 01:33 And Amen. 01:36 As we shared last night, we've come to study the Word 01:38 of God. 01:39 Come on, say Amen. 01:40 Talk to me. 01:41 We've come to study the Word of God. 01:43 Come on, say Amen. 01:44 Now, I told you last night, there's a famine in the land 01:46 and it's not bread and water, but the Word of God. 01:52 Told you last night, too many people come to church and they 01:54 don't know the Word of God. 01:57 That is a ploy of the devil. 01:59 The devil wants us to come to church, get excited, jump up 02:03 and down and shout, and then when church is all over 02:06 and someone asks, what did you shout about? 02:08 And you don't know. 02:10 I tell people all the time, preaching is not decibel level. 02:16 If you're going to holler, say something worth 02:18 hollering about. 02:19 Know what you believe, know why you believe it, and know 02:25 where it's found. 02:27 Now, we discover when we study the Word of God, people want to 02:31 pick and choose from Scripture. 02:34 They want to make the Bible like a smorgasbord. 02:36 A buffet. 02:37 I'm going to pick and choose what I want to follow. 02:40 But, as we said last night, the Word of God, all of it, 02:44 is inspired by God. 02:46 And people want to pick and choose what they study 02:49 and so some folk say, I don't want to study 02:51 Daniel and the Revelation, that's too hard. 02:54 Just give me grace, give me love, and I'll be all right. 02:57 But Jesus said, if you love me, keep my commandments. 03:02 I don't want to study Daniel, I don't want to study 03:05 Revelation, I don't want to study prophecy. 03:07 It's too hard. 03:08 I don't know what the symbols represent. 03:11 Daniel and the Revelation, those books make me scared. 03:14 But God tonight, remember, has not given you 03:17 a spirit of fear, but a spirit of love, 03:21 a spirt of power, a spirit of a sound mind 03:24 and understanding, and the devil doesn't want 03:27 you to understand Daniel and the Revelation because 03:29 it exposes him. 03:32 But when you understand what all these symbols 03:35 and all these beasts, and all these animals, 03:38 what they mean, and you will understand 03:41 that Revelation is a book about God's love revealed 03:45 in Jesus Christ. 03:46 And the fact is, tonight, Jesus wants to save us. 03:50 Jesus wants to do what, everybody? 03:52 Jesus wants to save us. 03:53 Now, I'll say this again because I want it to sink in 03:56 to your spirit, Revelation, Daniel, these books are all 04:02 about who we're going to give our worship to. 04:05 Are we going to give our worship to God or are we going 04:08 to give our worship to the devil? 04:11 Now, let's stop and review. 04:13 Let's go to Word. 04:14 Go to the book of Revelation. 04:15 What book did I say, everybody? 04:16 And we're going to go to Revelation, Chapter 1. 04:19 Let's review on how we got Revelation, how it got to us. 04:25 Revelation 1:1, if you have it let me hear you say Amen. 04:31 If you don't have it say, hold on. 04:33 Well, hurry up. 04:35 Revelation 1:1. 04:37 The Word of God says: "The revelation" 04:42 of whom, everybody? 04:44 Come on, the revelation of whom, everybody? 04:46 (Aud: Jesus Christ) "Which God gave unto him, to show unto his 04:49 servants things which must shortly come to" what? 04:52 (Aud: Pass) "And he sent and signified it by his" what? 04:55 (Aud: Angel) "Unto his servant" whom, everybody? 04:58 (Aud: John) "Who bare record of the word of the God, 05:00 and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all 05:02 things that he saw. 05:03 Blessed is he that" what? 05:05 Come on, blessed is he that what, everybody? 05:07 (Aud: Readeth) "And they that hear the words of this 05:09 prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein 05:12 for the time is at" what, everybody? 05:14 (Aud: Hand) Verse 4, "John to the seven churches 05:17 which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, 05:22 from him which is, and which was, and which is to 05:25 come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his 05:27 throne; and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, 05:30 and the first begotten of the dead, 05:32 and the prince of the kings of the earth. 05:34 Unto him that" what, everybody? 05:35 "Loved us, and" did what else? 05:36 "Washed us from our" what? 05:37 (Aud: Sins) "In his own" what, everybody? 05:40 (Aud: Blood) All right, so quickly review. 05:42 How did we get Revelation? 05:43 God gave Revelation to whom, everybody? 05:45 Jesus. 05:46 Jesus gave it to-- (Aud: Angel) The angel gave it to-- 05:51 (Aud: John) John write it down and gave it the seven what, 05:54 everybody? 05:55 Again, God gave Revelation to whom? 05:57 Jesus Christ. 05:58 Jesus gave it to-- The angel gave it to-- And John 06:02 wrote it down and gave it to the seven what? 06:04 (Aud: Churches) The Word of God says blessed is he that what? 06:07 Readeth and he that what? 06:08 (Aud: Hear) And he that what? 06:10 Keep the things in this book. 06:12 Which means then, Revelation is more than just reading it. 06:14 Revelation is more than just hearing it. 06:17 But Revelation is also keeping it. 06:21 We must understand that God has not called us just to be 06:24 hearers of the Word, but we must be doers of the Word. 06:27 Are you hearing what I'm saying? 06:29 There are too many people that want to live any old kind of 06:31 way. 06:32 They read the Word, they hear the Word, but they don't want 06:34 to keep the Word. 06:35 They want to live any old kind of way during the week and then 06:38 when they go to church they want to pray for a crop failure. 06:41 But God has called us to read, hear, and keep the things that 06:44 are written in the book. 06:45 Now, let's go on just a little bit further. 06:48 Understand with that in mind, because we must read, hear, 06:50 and keep the things of Revelation, 06:52 Satan does not want us to read it, Satan does not want us to 06:55 study it, Satan does not want us to keep it, but forget 07:00 Satan, bump Satan, Revelation is God's Word. 07:03 Now, we discovered last night, quickly, go with me 07:05 to Revelation 17. 07:06 Revelation what, everybody? 07:07 Got to move quickly tonight. 07:10 Revelation 17:15. 07:11 Now, we discover in Bible prophecy there are certain 07:17 symbols that mean certain things. 07:20 Certain symbols mean certain things. 07:23 Revelation 17:15. 07:25 The Word of God says: "And he saith unto me, The waters--" 07:30 The what, everybody? 07:32 "Which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are" what? 07:35 (Aud: People) "And multitudes, and nations, and" what else, 07:37 everybody? 07:38 (Aud: Tongues) Now, understand, in Bible prophecy, water means 07:42 what? 07:43 Come on, water means what, everybody? 07:45 When we're talking about Bible prophecy make sure that we 07:48 understand water represents people. 07:51 So when we read Revelation 17:14, he saith 07:54 unto me, the water or the people which thou 07:57 sawest, where the whore sitteth, and we're going to 07:59 talk about what a whore means, are people, multitudes, nations 08:03 and tongues. 08:04 Go with me to the book of Daniel. 08:06 What book did I say, everybody? 08:07 And go with me to Daniel, Chapter 7 and we're going 08:14 to verse 23. Daniel 7:23. 08:22 The Word of God says: "Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be 08:26 the fourth" what? 08:27 (Aud: Kingdom) "Upon the earth, which shall be diverse from all 08:29 kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, 08:32 and shall tread it down, and break it in" 08:34 what, everybody? 08:35 (Aud: Pieces) The fourth beast shall be a fourth what? 08:39 Kingdom. 08:40 Which means then when we study Bible prophecy, a beast 08:42 represents a what? 08:43 (Aud: Kingdom) Now, we also study from the Word of God 08:46 when we look at Ezekiel, Chapter 4, verse 6. 08:50 In Bible prophecy a day represents a what? 08:53 (Aud: Year) So, if we're clear on this, all of these symbols, 08:57 and you should have received your sheet, 08:59 all of these symbols represent a literal meaning 09:02 for something. 09:03 We recognize water represents what? People. 09:06 We recognize then that a beast represents a kingdom. 09:10 We recognize a day represents a what? 09:13 (Aud: Year) God gave Revelation to Jesus. 09:16 Jesus gave Revelation to the-- (Aud: Angel) The angel gave 09:20 Revelation to-- (Aud: John) John gave Revelation 09:22 to the seven what? 09:23 (Aud: Churches) God said, blessed is he that what? 09:26 Readeth. 09:27 And then what? 09:28 Heareth. 09:29 And then what? 09:30 Keepeth the things that are in this book. 09:32 The Word of God lets us know a day represents a-- 09:34 (Aud: Year) A beast represents a-- 09:36 (Aud: Kingdom) And water represents-- 09:38 (Aud: People) Now we go on further. 09:45 The Bible prophesied when Jesus would be born. 09:49 We read last night from Isaiah 7 09:51 where it was prophesied that a virgin would conceive 09:54 and bear a son. 09:55 The fruition of that came in Matthew, Chapter 1, verse 23. 09:58 We study when Jesus would be baptized. 10:02 It was prophesied when he would be baptized. 10:05 It was prophesied when Jesus would die. 10:07 It was prophesied when the Gospel message 10:10 would not just be taken to the Jews, but to 10:12 the entire world. 10:13 We studied that last night from Daniel, Chapter 9, 10:16 in what is known as the 70-week prophesy. 10:18 We recognize there are how many days in a week? 10:23 Seven. 10:24 So we're talking about 70-week prophecy, 70 weeks, there are 10:27 seven days in a week, 70 times 7 is what, everybody? 10:31 490 days. 10:32 But because it's a day for a year, we recognize it is 490 10:36 what, everybody? 10:38 It is 490 years. 10:39 We studied that. 10:40 The Bible also prophesied by telling us of the signs that we 10:45 would see and experience just before Jesus returns. 10:48 Take your Bible and go to the book of Matthew. 10:50 What book, everybody? 10:51 Come on, we've got to move quick. 10:54 Matthew, Chapter 24, and we discover the signs that will 10:58 take place on this earth just before Jesus comes. 11:02 The Word of God says in Matthew 24:3. 11:05 If you have it, let me hear you say Amen. 11:10 The Word says: "And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, 11:13 the disciples came unto him" how? 11:15 (Aud: Privately) "Saying, Tell us, when shall 11:17 these things be? 11:18 And what shall be the sign of thy coming, 11:20 and of the end of the world? 11:22 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that 11:24 no man" do what, everybody? 11:26 Come on, take heed that no man what, everybody? 11:28 (Aud: Deceive you) That's why you come here to the revival 11:30 and everything we preach, everything we teach must come 11:33 straight from the Word of God. 11:35 Not my opinion, not your opinion, 11:37 but let the Word of God speak for itself. 11:40 Going on. Verse 5: "For many shall come 11:42 in my name, saying, I am" what? 11:44 (Aud: Christ) "And shall deceive" what, everybody? 11:47 (Aud: Many) Understand, if somebody's walking up 11:49 and down Huntsville, walking up and down Madison, 11:51 talking about their Jesus Christ, you know that's a lie 11:53 from the pits of hell. 11:54 Many will come trying to say they are Jesus Christ. 11:57 Let me be clear, I'm not Jesus, but I'm trying to be like him. 12:00 Come on, say Amen. 12:01 Verse 6: "And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of" what? 12:04 (Aud: Wars) "See that ye be not troubled: for all these things 12:07 must come to" what? 12:08 (Aud: Pass) "But the end is not" what? 12:10 (Aud: Yet) "For nation shall rise against" what? 12:12 (Aud: Nation) "Kingdom against" what? 12:14 (Aud: Kingdom) "There shall be famines, and pestilences, 12:16 and earthquakes, in divers places. 12:18 All these are the beginning of" what, everybody? 12:20 (Aud: Sorrows) Verse 9: "Then shall they deliver you 12:22 up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: 12:24 and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake." 12:26 Verse 10: "And then shall many be" what? 12:29 (Aud: Offended) Many shall be what, everybody? 12:32 I recognize when you preach the Word of God and it cuts 12:34 at folks, because folks just want to come to church 12:36 and feel good. 12:39 And I recognizing this walk, when you have to call sin 12:42 by its right name. 12:43 When you have to cry aloud and spare not, 12:46 folk get offended, but that's all right. 12:48 I've been lied on, I've been cheated on, 12:53 I've been mistreated, I've been up, I've been down, 12:56 I've been almost to the ground, but somebody knows, 13:01 as long as I've got King Jesus, I don't need anybody else. 13:06 Are you hearing what I'm saying? 13:08 "Then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, 13:10 and shall hate one another. 13:12 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall 13:15 deceive many. 13:16 And because iniquity," which is sin, 13:18 "shall abound," sin abound, "the love of many 13:21 shall wax cold. 13:22 But he that shall endure unto the end," 13:26 thank you, Jesus, "the same shall be saved. 13:29 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all 13:33 the world for a witness unto all nations; 13:37 and then shall the end come." 13:39 That's why we've got to preach what the Word of God says, 13:42 we've got to call it like it is, and let the chips fall 13:46 where they may. 13:47 If I'm going to be wrong, tell me I'm wrong now. 13:51 But I don't want to get up the pearly gates 13:53 thinking I'm right and I'm wrong. 13:56 Tell me what the Word of God says. 13:58 Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin 14:02 against thee. 14:04 Now, in our world today you hear a lot about fighting 14:07 and wars. 14:09 This is clearly signs of the end, 14:11 and it's not going to get better. 14:13 Listen to me carefully. 14:14 It's going to get worse. 14:16 Understand that more wars have been fought and more blood 14:22 has been shed in the name of religion 14:25 than any other cause. 14:26 More blood shed, more wars have been fought, 14:34 all because it's tied into something religious. 14:37 That's why there's a difference between being religious 14:39 and spiritual. 14:40 (Aud: Ah) There are some people that are religious, 14:44 but they're not spiritual. 14:45 I wish I had a witness in this place. 14:47 Everybody talking about heaven, ain't going. 14:50 Are you hearing what I'm saying? 14:52 There's a difference between being religious 14:54 and being spiritual. 14:55 All these wars that we see today have been fought 14:58 with a religious foundation. 15:00 You don't believe me. 15:01 Four thousand years of fighting have taken place between 15:04 Iran and Iraq, all rooted in religion. 15:08 Because Abraham, the father of many nations, 15:12 he laid with Hagar, his handmaid, his concubine, 15:16 instead of having faith and trust in God, he lay 15:19 with her, had a son, Ishmael, then God did bless him, 15:23 because you've got to understand, with God 15:25 he may not come when you want him, but he's 15:27 right on time. 15:28 He went on and lay with Sarah, had another child, Isaac, 15:32 and Isaac and Ishmael have been fighting 15:35 ever since. 15:38 All rooted in religion. 15:40 But we can go a step further. 15:41 Syria. 15:43 Still fighting. 15:45 We can go a step further. 15:46 Africa. 15:47 The motherland. 15:48 In Rwanda, fighting between the Shiites and the Sunni. 15:53 All religious. 15:54 And even now, the threat of North Korea. 15:57 It will not end. 15:59 That's why when Jesus says wars and rumor of wars, when he says 16:03 nation against nation, if you don't believe it, 16:06 friends of mine, you better understand 16:08 Jesus is soon to come. 16:10 You've got to stop playing church, 16:12 stop playing with this thing. 16:14 Make sure that you all is on the alter 16:16 with Jesus Christ. 16:17 All of this fighting is supposedly to rid the world 16:21 of evil men and make room for peace. 16:25 And for some folk, influential folk, 16:28 I might add, their solution for peace, listen to me 16:33 carefully, is what you've heard as a new world order. 16:37 And I tell you, I don't preach cotton candy. 16:40 We're going to give it to you straight. 16:42 There is a desire in this world for a new world order. 16:48 Because with a new world order they think that will bring 16:50 about peace. 16:51 With this new world order they want to make 16:54 one authoritarian government, because they think it 16:57 will be peace. 16:58 But somewhere I read in 1 Thessalonians 5:3, 17:02 that when you hear the world peace and safety 17:06 you better be careful for sudden destruction. 17:09 But many people want to create a utopia where they feel it 17:14 will bring about peace. 17:15 So you hear about all this new world order and rumored 17:20 rumblings of this coming into fruition with the signing 17:23 of the North American Free Trade Agreement. 17:27 Where the United States, Canada, Mexico, they have 17:32 lessened all of the rhetoric relative to trade. 17:38 You hear rumored rumblings about this new world order 17:43 when people start talking about a unified 17:46 monetary currency. 17:48 When there in Europe you can go now from country to country 17:53 and there's a same or similar form 17:55 of currency known as the Euro. 17:57 But don't think we're too far behind in North America, 18:00 because in case you didn't know, 18:02 there are rumblings and discussions relative to 18:05 an Amero. 18:06 An Amero is a unified form of currency 18:09 that would take place between the United States, Canada 18:12 and Mexico. 18:13 But will there, the question is asked, will there 18:17 ever be one kingdom? 18:20 Will there ever be one authoritarian government 18:23 on earth? 18:24 Now, you need to understand. 18:26 History always says there's nothing new under the sun. 18:30 So when you talk about will there be one government 18:33 order? 18:34 Will there be one unified, new world order? 18:37 One authoritarian government? 18:39 History has a way of repeating itself. 18:41 The great statesman, Winston Churchill, said, 18:43 the further backward you can look, the further forward 18:47 you can see. Now, it was in Daniel, Chapter 2 18:54 where the king at the time, Nebuchadnezzar, had a dream. 18:59 He had a dream that he couldn't understand. 19:03 And so because he couldn't understand this dream, he said, 19:06 let me call for all of the wise men in the land, all of the 19:11 astrologers in the land, and let them come tell me 19:14 what this dream is about. 19:15 Now, don't forget, we're talking about just one, 19:17 unified government. 19:19 He said, let them come tell me what this dream is about. 19:23 So, think of all these astrologers, 19:25 all these wise men, all these magicians 19:27 and they cannot tell him what this dream is all about. 19:33 He then says, if you can't tell me what this dream is all 19:36 about, I'm going to kill you. 19:37 So they get scared. 19:39 So somebody goes and finds the man of God. 19:43 Somebody goes and finds brother Daniel. 19:47 Brother Daniel, read it in Chapter 2, 19:49 don't have time to read it tonight. 19:51 But in Daniel, Chapter 2, Daniel goes to him and says, 19:54 listen, just give me some time and I will be able to interpret 19:59 the dream that you saw, and with that you won't have to 20:04 kill anyone. 20:05 Sure enough, Nebuchadnezzar grants his wish. 20:07 Nebuchadnezzar says, all right, got some time. 20:10 Next day, Daniel comes. 20:11 He comes to brother Nebuchadnezzar 20:14 and he says, brother Nebuchadnezzar, last night 20:16 I had a dream and in the dream I had, God revealed to me 20:22 what he told you in your dream. 20:24 That's just like God, always right on time. 20:27 God revealed to Daniel to reveal to Nebuchadnezzar 20:30 what took in his dream, which brings us here tonight. 20:34 Daniel, Chapter 2, verse 31. 20:36 Go there quickly. 20:38 The Word of God, this is the interpretation of 20:40 the dream, Daniel 2:31: "Thou, O king, 20:46 sawest, and behold a great" what, everybody? 20:50 Come on, a great what? 20:51 (Aud: Image) "This great image, whose brightness was excellent, 20:54 stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible." 20:56 Verse 32: "The image's head was 20:59 of fine" what? 21:01 Come on, head of fine what? 21:02 (Aud: Gold) "His breast and his arms of" what? 21:05 (Aud: Silver) "His belly, and his thighs of" what? 21:07 (Aud: Brass) "His legs of" what? 21:10 (Aud: Iron) His feet part of iron and part of what? 21:12 (Aud: Clay) Now, let's visualize what we just read. 21:15 Nebuchadnezzar has a dream. 21:20 He sees an image. 21:22 The image is a grand image and the image is the head 21:27 of what? 21:28 Come on, the head of what? 21:30 Gold. 21:31 The chest is a chest of what? 21:33 (Aud: Silver) The hips are hips of what? 21:36 (Aud: Brass) The legs are legs of what? 21:40 They're legs of what, everybody? 21:42 They are legs of iron. 21:43 Then we go on and we recognize the feet. 21:46 The toes, they are a mixture of part iron and part what, 21:50 everybody? 21:51 (Aud: Clay) Go to verse 34: "Thou sawest till that a stone 21:55 was cut out without hands," which means without hands, 22:00 I wish I had time, we're talking about 22:02 a superhuman, supernatural being 22:08 without hands. 22:10 "Which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and" 22:14 what? 22:15 (Aud: Clay) "Break them to" what? 22:18 (Aud: Pieces) Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, 22:20 the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces 22:23 together, and became like the chaff of the summer 22:25 threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no 22:29 place was found for them: and the stone that smote 22:32 the image became a great" what, everybody? 22:35 Come on, became a great what, everybody? 22:37 (Aud: Mountain) And filled the what? 22:40 Filled the whole earth. 22:41 Stop here. 22:42 Nebuchadnezzar has this dream. 22:43 Nobody can interpret it. 22:45 They call for Daniel. 22:46 Daniel goes to sleep that night. 22:49 God gives Daniel what Nebuchadnezzar saw. 22:51 Daniel goes to Nebuchadnezzar. 22:53 No need to kill anybody, King. 22:55 I can tell you what you saw. 22:57 You saw an image, the head was of what? 23:02 Come on, the head was of what? 23:03 (Aud: Gold) The chest was of what? 23:05 (Aud: Silver) The waist was of what? 23:08 (Aud: Brass) The legs were of what? 23:10 (Aud: Iron) The feet were part what? 23:12 (Aud: Iron) And part what? 23:14 (Aud: Clay) A stone came, hit this image, and when the stone 23:21 hits this image, the entire image crumbles away. 23:27 Let's read some more. 23:28 Verse 36. "This is the dream; and we will tell 23:33 the interpretation thereof before the king." Verse 37: 23:37 "Thou, O king, are a king of" what? 23:40 (Aud: Kings) "For the God of heaven hath given thee 23:42 a" what? 23:43 (Aud: Kingdom) Power and what? 23:44 And what else, everybody? 23:45 (Strength and glory) Now here's Nebuchadnezzar, you know, 23:48 he's the king and so Daniel is going to tell him 23:51 the interpretation, but he has to soften him up 23:53 and tell him how great he is. 23:55 Verse 38: "And wheresoever the children of men swell, 23:58 the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven 24:00 hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler 24:03 over them all." 24:05 He says, "Thou art this head of" what, everybody? 24:09 (Aud: Gold) "And after thee shall arise another" what? 24:13 (Aud: Kingdom) So he's telling Nebuchadnezzar, you're the head 24:16 of gold. 24:17 After you there will arise another kingdom. 24:20 But the Word says this kingdom will be inferior to thee. 24:24 And then another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule 24:30 over all the earth. 24:31 So, here, understand what's going on. 24:33 He's telling him this first kingdom, head of gold, is you. 24:37 Then there will come another kingdom after you that is 24:40 inferior to you, which makes sense now because it's saying 24:43 head and we're moving to chest and we're now talking about 24:46 a chest of silver, and silver is inferior to gold. 24:50 Are you staying with me? 24:51 Then he says, a third kingdom which is inferior which is 24:56 of brass, which makes sense now because we had first 24:59 said head of what? 25:00 Gold. 25:01 We said chest of what? 25:02 Silver. 25:03 And then we said now a what? 25:04 Waist of what? 25:05 (Aud: Brass) Which means there's another kingdom. 25:07 So we're recognizing there are kingdoms 25:09 that represent these different metals. 25:12 The Word goes on, which shall bear and rule over 25:14 all the earth. 25:15 And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, 25:18 representing those legs. 25:19 "Forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth 25:21 all things: and as iron that breaketh 25:23 all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. 25:26 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, 25:29 part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom 25:31 shall be divided; but there shall be 25:33 in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch, as 25:36 thou sawest the iron mixed with miry" what? 25:40 (Aud: Clay) "And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, 25:43 and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly 25:46 strong, and partly" what? 25:49 (Aud: Broken) Which means part strong, part weak. 25:52 PB: Thank you very much for tuning in and watching 25:55 Breath of Life today. 25:57 We do hope that you were blessed by our ministry 25:59 and that we gave a healing word in 26:02 a hurting world. 26:04 In order for Breath of Life to continue ministry, 26:07 we need you. 26:08 We need your prayers, we need your support. 26:11 We want you to know that any and all donations, 26:13 small or great, they are sincerely welcomed 26:16 and appreciated. 26:18 To contact us or to make your donation, 26:20 please feel free to give us a call at: 26:23 877-BOL-OFFER. 26:27 That's 877-BOL-OFFER. 26:32 Or you may write to us at: Breath of Life, P.O.
