The Carter Report
presents Living Victoriously,
00:00:01.56\00:00:05.90
Secrets of Success
from Prime Minister Daniel
00:00:05.93\00:00:08.70
of Babylon city
00:00:08.74\00:00:10.34
with your host John Carter.
00:00:10.37\00:00:12.51
Welcome back.
00:00:25.62\00:00:26.96
This is part nine.
00:00:26.99\00:00:28.56
This is really
part B of part nine,
00:00:28.59\00:00:32.33
Living Victoriously.
00:00:32.36\00:00:34.40
We're talking about
the fate of Jerusalem,
00:00:34.43\00:00:36.36
what is going to
happen to the Middle East.
00:00:36.40\00:00:38.93
Who is the true Messiah?
00:00:38.97\00:00:42.37
Is Jesus Christ
the true Messiah?
00:00:42.40\00:00:45.64
Or is He simply an imposter?
00:00:45.67\00:00:50.81
I love atheists
to hear this program
00:00:50.85\00:00:52.68
because it's
overwhelming in its proof.
00:00:52.71\00:00:56.05
I want you to
come now to Daniel 9,
00:00:56.08\00:00:58.22
this is a pick up,
Daniel 9:20 and 21.
00:00:58.25\00:01:03.06
"Now while I was speaking,
00:01:03.09\00:01:05.63
praying, and confessing my sin
00:01:05.66\00:01:07.33
and the sin of my people Israel,
00:01:07.36\00:01:09.96
and presenting my supplication
before the Lord my God
00:01:10.00\00:01:13.87
for the holy
mountain of my God..."
00:01:13.90\00:01:15.40
That's Jerusalem.
00:01:15.44\00:01:16.77
"Yes, while I was
speaking in prayer,
00:01:16.81\00:01:19.44
man Gabriel,
00:01:19.47\00:01:21.18
whom I had seen in the
vision at the beginning,
00:01:21.21\00:01:23.91
being caused to fly swiftly,
00:01:23.95\00:01:26.75
reached me about the
time of the evening offering."
00:01:26.78\00:01:29.78
That's 3:00 in the afternoon.
00:01:29.82\00:01:31.55
Daniel starts to pray,
00:01:31.59\00:01:33.36
his prayer takes
a couple of minutes.
00:01:33.39\00:01:36.26
From the other
side of the universe,
00:01:36.29\00:01:37.86
I think from the
outside the universe,
00:01:37.89\00:01:40.46
this mighty angelic being
travels trillions of miles,
00:01:40.50\00:01:47.27
He comes down
00:01:47.30\00:01:49.17
and He's got an answer for him.
00:01:49.20\00:01:52.57
This tells me something.
00:01:52.61\00:01:53.98
It tells me that God
sees, He sees us, God hears us,
00:01:54.01\00:01:59.95
God acts, Daniel is praying.
00:01:59.98\00:02:02.88
God sees him.
00:02:02.92\00:02:04.29
The prayer of faith
moves the hand of almighty God.
00:02:04.32\00:02:09.56
You may just feel all alone
that nobody cares about you,
00:02:09.59\00:02:13.06
but the Bible tells me
00:02:13.09\00:02:14.73
that the prayer of faith
00:02:14.76\00:02:16.93
moves the hand
of the almighty God.
00:02:16.97\00:02:21.84
Sort of amazing, isn't it?
00:02:21.87\00:02:23.91
You're never,
never, never alone.
00:02:23.94\00:02:26.88
Now look at Daniel
9:22-23, Daniel 9:22-23.
00:02:26.91\00:02:32.95
"He informed me,
and talked with me,
00:02:32.98\00:02:34.65
and said, 'O, Daniel...'"
00:02:34.68\00:02:36.28
He knows his name.
00:02:36.32\00:02:37.65
He doesn't say,
"Hey, you there?"
00:02:37.69\00:02:39.39
"O, Daniel, I
have now come forth
00:02:39.42\00:02:41.42
to give you skill to understand.
00:02:41.46\00:02:44.76
At the beginning
of your supplications
00:02:44.79\00:02:47.10
the command went out,
00:02:47.13\00:02:48.50
and I have come to tell you,
for you are greatly beloved,
00:02:48.53\00:02:53.03
therefore consider the matter,
and understand the vision."
00:02:53.07\00:02:56.91
What's the vision about?
00:02:56.94\00:02:58.27
It's about Jerusalem.
00:02:58.31\00:03:00.08
Yeah.
00:03:00.11\00:03:01.44
About the
desolation of Jerusalem.
00:03:01.48\00:03:03.01
It's also about the
prophecy of the 2300 days.
00:03:03.04\00:03:09.25
Now look at
verse 24, Daniel 9:24,
00:03:09.28\00:03:14.06
dear hearts and gentle people.
00:03:14.09\00:03:16.83
Here is the explanation,
you got to listen hard.
00:03:16.86\00:03:20.83
This is amazing.
00:03:20.86\00:03:22.20
"Seventy weeks," 490 days,"
00:03:22.23\00:03:24.83
are determined for
your people," the Jews.
00:03:24.87\00:03:29.77
"For your people and
your holy city," Jerusalem.
00:03:29.80\00:03:35.01
And notice these mighty acts.
00:03:35.04\00:03:37.45
"To finish the transgression,
to make an end of sins,
00:03:37.48\00:03:41.48
to make
reconciliation for iniquity,
00:03:41.52\00:03:43.99
to bring in
everlasting righteousness,
00:03:44.02\00:03:47.46
to seal up vision and prophecy,
00:03:47.49\00:03:50.09
and to anoint the Most Holy,"
00:03:50.13\00:03:52.93
or the Most Holy place.
00:03:52.96\00:03:57.20
Now you got to concentrate here
00:03:57.23\00:03:59.73
because God gives a period
00:03:59.77\00:04:02.84
of 490 years
00:04:02.87\00:04:08.64
for the Jewish people.
00:04:08.68\00:04:11.68
I want you to think about this.
00:04:11.71\00:04:14.75
He says 70 x 7, these are years,
00:04:14.78\00:04:20.06
490 years are set aside
00:04:20.09\00:04:23.96
for your people.
00:04:23.99\00:04:28.26
And when it says
70 weeks of years,
00:04:28.30\00:04:32.23
490 years are appointed,
00:04:32.27\00:04:35.77
the word is the Hebrew
word that means cut off
00:04:35.80\00:04:40.61
and cut off from the 2300 years.
00:04:40.64\00:04:43.61
Not going to go into that today,
00:04:43.65\00:04:45.01
we just don't have time.
00:04:45.05\00:04:47.32
I wanna talk about
God's mighty acts in history.
00:04:47.35\00:04:52.39
Number one, there
is a line in the sand
00:04:52.42\00:04:56.12
that God draws,
00:04:56.16\00:04:58.26
490 years.
00:04:58.29\00:05:02.06
In the Book of Genesis,
00:05:02.10\00:05:03.50
it said, "The
sin of the Amorites
00:05:03.53\00:05:06.03
has not yet
reached its full measure."
00:05:06.07\00:05:10.11
This tells me
00:05:10.14\00:05:12.07
that God is keeping an account
00:05:12.11\00:05:16.81
of the sins
00:05:16.85\00:05:19.61
of the nation.
00:05:19.65\00:05:21.08
God keeps an
account with the nations.
00:05:24.55\00:05:26.59
He gives to the Jewish
people a period 490 years.
00:05:26.62\00:05:32.39
And then it
talks about something
00:05:32.43\00:05:34.03
which is quite incredible
00:05:34.06\00:05:36.60
because this is talking here
00:05:36.63\00:05:39.80
about salvation
through the Jewish Messiah
00:05:39.83\00:05:43.37
and certain great
acts are going to happen.
00:05:43.41\00:05:46.57
You got to try to
get this into your mind.
00:05:46.61\00:05:49.91
Within the 490 years,
00:05:49.94\00:05:53.21
I'm going to finish
transgression, God says.
00:05:53.25\00:05:55.88
I'm going to put an end to sin,
00:05:55.92\00:05:58.49
I'm going to make
reconciliation for iniquity.
00:05:58.52\00:06:02.36
I'm going to bring in
everlasting righteousness,
00:06:02.39\00:06:07.00
I'm going to
seal up the prophecy,
00:06:07.03\00:06:09.20
and I'm going to
anoint the Most Holy place.
00:06:09.23\00:06:14.30
This is the most
astounding prophecy
00:06:14.34\00:06:19.11
in the Old Testament
00:06:19.14\00:06:22.91
because here you have the
presentation of the gospel.
00:06:22.94\00:06:29.15
Because the New Testament
which was written by Jews
00:06:29.18\00:06:32.49
tells me this
00:06:32.52\00:06:33.86
that when Christ
died on the cross
00:06:33.89\00:06:38.26
and became the bearer
of the sin of the world,
00:06:38.29\00:06:43.06
He brought an end to sin,
00:06:43.10\00:06:46.60
He put an end to iniquity,
00:06:46.63\00:06:49.74
and He brought in
everlasting righteousness,
00:06:49.77\00:06:53.78
and He made an
atoning sacrifice.
00:06:53.81\00:06:58.41
Now this is what
we call the gospel
00:06:58.45\00:07:02.55
because it's
about the good news.
00:07:02.58\00:07:06.89
I want you to try
to think about this,
00:07:06.92\00:07:08.92
how does this actually work?
00:07:08.96\00:07:10.53
People say, I don't want any,
you know, difficult theology,
00:07:10.56\00:07:16.06
I just wanna make
it as simple as I can.
00:07:16.10\00:07:20.54
You know about the dying thief.
00:07:20.57\00:07:24.11
He turned to Jesus and
he said, "Lord, remember me
00:07:24.14\00:07:28.44
when you come
into Your kingdom."
00:07:28.48\00:07:30.15
He repented of his sin and
he put his trust in Christ.
00:07:30.18\00:07:34.85
And Christ said to
him, "I'm telling you today,
00:07:34.88\00:07:37.72
you're going to be
with me in paradise."
00:07:37.75\00:07:41.19
And so this dying
thief, dying next to Christ
00:07:41.22\00:07:45.79
received
everlasting righteousness.
00:07:45.83\00:07:49.90
God put an end
00:07:49.93\00:07:51.43
to the power of sin in his life.
00:07:51.47\00:07:55.20
Can you believe
this, if I come to Christ,
00:07:55.24\00:07:59.41
if I believe in Christ,
00:07:59.44\00:08:02.11
God will give me not
because I've earned it
00:08:02.14\00:08:07.35
but simply by His
merit, by His grace,
00:08:07.38\00:08:11.12
He will give me
everlasting righteousness.
00:08:11.15\00:08:14.26
Amen.
00:08:14.29\00:08:15.62
He puts an end to the
power of sin in my life
00:08:15.66\00:08:20.36
and I'm ready to go to paradise.
00:08:20.40\00:08:23.43
I don't need
purgatory, any of those things.
00:08:23.47\00:08:26.90
You see, I'm saved, I'm
right with God right now.
00:08:26.94\00:08:33.17
Now look at Daniel 9:25,
00:08:33.21\00:08:35.41
there is only one
person who could do this
00:08:35.44\00:08:37.25
and that was the Jewish Messiah.
00:08:37.28\00:08:38.91
Daniel 9:25.
00:08:38.95\00:08:41.38
Now you got to
really concentrate.
00:08:41.42\00:08:44.69
"Know therefore and understand,
00:08:44.72\00:08:46.65
that from the going
forth of the command
00:08:46.69\00:08:48.76
to restore and build Jerusalem.
00:08:48.79\00:08:51.76
Until the Messiah the Prince,
00:08:51.79\00:08:54.26
there shall be seven
weeks and sixty-two weeks,"
00:08:54.30\00:08:58.73
69 weeks, 483 years.
00:08:58.77\00:09:01.84
"The streets
shall be built again,
00:09:01.87\00:09:03.81
and the wall, even
in troublesome times."
00:09:03.84\00:09:06.81
This prophecy is
given about 2500 years ago.
00:09:06.84\00:09:11.55
Now please listen carefully.
00:09:11.58\00:09:15.48
Start the
molecules of your minds,
00:09:15.52\00:09:19.35
the prophet writing 550 BC said,
00:09:19.39\00:09:22.96
there would be a decree to
restore and build Jerusalem.
00:09:22.99\00:09:28.76
That decree went forth
under Artaxerxes Longimanus
00:09:28.80\00:09:33.44
in the year 457 BC.
00:09:33.47\00:09:37.51
In our last program, we told you
00:09:37.54\00:09:38.94
how Jerusalem had been
destroyed by the Babylonians.
00:09:38.97\00:09:42.08
This Persian king said,
00:09:42.11\00:09:43.65
"Build it, build it again," 457.
00:09:43.68\00:09:46.68
Then it says,
you add on 483 years,
00:09:46.72\00:09:50.72
the 49, the 434 years,
00:09:50.75\00:09:54.72
you add that on to the 457 BC
00:09:54.76\00:09:58.13
and it brings you
through to the year 27 AD,
00:09:58.16\00:10:02.16
please look at it.
00:10:02.20\00:10:06.80
500 BC, a Jewish
prophet in Babylon
00:10:06.84\00:10:11.24
predicted that the true Messiah
00:10:11.27\00:10:13.54
would appear in 27 AD.
00:10:13.58\00:10:18.68
And the question is,
00:10:18.71\00:10:20.58
did the Messiah
appear in the 27 AD?
00:10:20.62\00:10:24.19
We turn to Luke
3:1, Luke 3:1 it says,
00:10:24.22\00:10:29.12
"Now in the fifth..."
This is the New Testament.
00:10:29.16\00:10:30.96
"In the fifteenth year of
the reign of Tiberius Caesar,
00:10:30.99\00:10:33.90
Pontius Pilate
being governor of Judaea,
00:10:33.93\00:10:36.16
Herod being tetrarch of Galilee,
00:10:36.20\00:10:38.10
his brother Philip
tetrarch of Ituraea
00:10:38.13\00:10:40.50
and of the
region of Trachonitis,
00:10:40.54\00:10:42.60
and Lysanias
tetrarch of Abilene.
00:10:42.64\00:10:44.97
When all the
people were baptized,
00:10:45.01\00:10:46.94
it came to pass that
Jesus also was baptized.
00:10:46.98\00:10:50.45
And while He prayed,
the heaven was opened,
00:10:50.48\00:10:53.58
and the Holy Spirit descended
00:10:53.62\00:10:55.18
in a bodily form
like a dove upon him,
00:10:55.22\00:10:57.09
and a voice came
from heaven which said,
00:10:57.12\00:10:59.19
'You are my beloved Son,
in whom I'm well pleased.'
00:10:59.22\00:11:01.82
Now Jesus himself
began His ministry
00:11:01.86\00:11:05.99
at about 30 years of age
00:11:06.03\00:11:08.06
being as was
supposed, the son of Joseph,
00:11:08.10\00:11:10.63
the son of Heli."
00:11:10.67\00:11:12.00
Now listen, this is
a terrible old stuff,
00:11:12.03\00:11:16.14
but if you're an
unbeliever, I beseech you.
00:11:16.17\00:11:19.07
Just listen for a moment.
00:11:19.11\00:11:20.84
Lay aside your
preconceived ideas.
00:11:20.88\00:11:24.85
Then Prophet Daniel said,
00:11:24.88\00:11:27.12
"The Messiah,
00:11:27.15\00:11:28.48
the true Messiah
would appear in 27 AD.
00:11:28.52\00:11:34.42
And the Bible says,
00:11:34.46\00:11:35.79
the Messiah appeared in Israel
00:11:35.82\00:11:39.19
in the 15th year of the
reign of Tiberius Caesar.
00:11:39.23\00:11:44.83
And according to
Jewish reckoning,
00:11:44.87\00:11:48.10
the 15th year of the reign
of Tiberius Caesar is 27 AD.
00:11:48.14\00:11:54.94
What are you
gonna say about that?
00:11:54.98\00:11:57.01
What are you
gonna say about this?
00:11:57.05\00:11:59.18
The atheist says that
Jesus is just a carpenter
00:11:59.21\00:12:03.39
but if He is just a carpenter,
00:12:03.42\00:12:05.55
every atheist is defeated
by this carpenter's baptism.
00:12:05.59\00:12:11.69
See, He came on
time, lived on time,
00:12:11.73\00:12:14.90
and as prophecy
says, He would die on time.
00:12:14.93\00:12:20.10
Look at verse 26, Daniel 9:26,
00:12:20.14\00:12:24.64
"And after the 62 weeks
Messiah shall be cut off,"
00:12:24.67\00:12:29.04
he would be murdered,
00:12:29.08\00:12:31.25
"not for himself."
00:12:31.28\00:12:32.61
He would not die for Himself,
but for sins of the world.
00:12:32.65\00:12:35.45
"And the people of
the prince who is to come
00:12:35.48\00:12:38.15
shall destroy the
city and the sanctuary."
00:12:38.19\00:12:40.56
Don't forget it.
00:12:40.59\00:12:41.96
"The end of it
shall be with a flood
00:12:41.99\00:12:44.36
until the end of the war
desolations are determined."
00:12:44.39\00:12:49.46
Now listen carefully to me,
00:12:49.50\00:12:53.94
most people
thought when Messiah came,
00:12:53.97\00:12:56.57
he would be the conquering hero
00:12:56.60\00:12:58.97
and would drive
out the hated Romans.
00:12:59.01\00:13:03.51
The Bible says, he would
come to establish righteousness,
00:13:03.55\00:13:09.72
to do away with sin
in the hearts of men,
00:13:09.75\00:13:14.56
and He would be cut off.
00:13:14.59\00:13:18.26
Now the Hebrew word means
00:13:18.29\00:13:20.46
he would be
murdered not for Himself.
00:13:20.50\00:13:25.10
Many years ago I heard of...
00:13:25.13\00:13:28.97
a wonderful thing that
people saw in Washington,
00:13:29.00\00:13:32.17
walking down the
beautiful streets.
00:13:32.21\00:13:34.28
There was a man
terribly deformed
00:13:34.31\00:13:37.15
walking arm in arm with
a beautiful young woman,
00:13:37.18\00:13:39.68
she was
somewhat younger than he.
00:13:39.71\00:13:42.08
And people would say,
00:13:42.12\00:13:43.49
"Why is this beautiful woman
00:13:43.52\00:13:46.02
walking with this
man who is so defiled?
00:13:46.05\00:13:50.23
He was so hideous.
00:13:50.26\00:13:53.40
She was a little
girl, her house got on fire.
00:13:53.43\00:13:58.67
And her brother
ran in, picked her up,
00:13:58.70\00:14:02.44
and held her to his chest,
00:14:02.47\00:14:04.64
covered her with a blanket,
00:14:04.67\00:14:06.44
and plunged out
through the heaving flames,
00:14:06.47\00:14:12.11
saved her life,
00:14:12.15\00:14:15.62
blind and disfigured for life.
00:14:15.65\00:14:19.92
You think she's ashamed of him?
00:14:19.95\00:14:24.33
There was a Jewish
man who was cut off
00:14:24.36\00:14:28.16
but for not for Himself,
00:14:28.20\00:14:32.47
He is cut off for us.
00:14:32.50\00:14:33.84
Are we ashamed of Him?
00:14:33.87\00:14:35.80
I say, never, never, never,
00:14:35.84\00:14:39.54
this Christ, the son of God,
00:14:39.57\00:14:43.38
the hope of the world.
00:14:43.41\00:14:46.68
Daniel 9:27 goes on to say...
00:14:46.72\00:14:49.32
"Then he shall
confirm a covenant
00:14:53.15\00:14:55.99
with many for one week..."
00:14:56.02\00:14:57.89
This is the Messiah.
00:14:57.93\00:15:00.10
"But in the middle of the week
00:15:00.13\00:15:01.73
He shall bring an end
to sacrifice and offering.
00:15:01.76\00:15:05.90
And on the wing of abominations
00:15:05.93\00:15:08.37
shall be one who makes desolate,
00:15:08.40\00:15:10.97
even until the consummation,
which is determined,
00:15:11.01\00:15:15.04
is poured out on the desolate."
00:15:15.08\00:15:17.48
Now if you will remember
00:15:17.51\00:15:19.11
when we put up that graph
or that chart on the screen,
00:15:19.15\00:15:24.29
we used up 483 years
00:15:24.32\00:15:28.92
of the 490 years
00:15:28.96\00:15:31.23
which means that we had
00:15:31.26\00:15:33.50
right at the very
end of that time period,
00:15:33.53\00:15:36.53
one week of
years or seven years.
00:15:36.56\00:15:40.44
This time period commenced
when the Messiah was baptized,
00:15:40.47\00:15:45.84
27 AD, that is a fact.
00:15:45.87\00:15:51.28
What are you
going to do, my friend?
00:15:51.31\00:15:54.12
Who is a skeptic,
you're an unbeliever
00:15:54.15\00:15:57.59
and you say, I do not believe.
00:15:57.62\00:15:59.89
It is one thing to say this,
00:15:59.92\00:16:01.59
how are you going to answer
these arguments, I ask you.
00:16:01.62\00:16:05.96
The prophecy written 550 years
00:16:05.99\00:16:09.50
before Christ was born.
00:16:09.53\00:16:13.64
From the going forth
00:16:13.67\00:16:15.00
of the decree to
restore and to build Jerusalem,
00:16:15.04\00:16:19.14
and we started at 457
00:16:19.17\00:16:21.34
and it brought us through to 27.
00:16:21.38\00:16:23.91
And the Bible says,
in the midst of this week
00:16:23.95\00:16:29.35
and that would
be the year 31 AD.
00:16:29.38\00:16:33.72
And the Bible says in 31 AD,
00:16:33.76\00:16:38.16
the person who was cut off
00:16:38.19\00:16:41.40
would bring an end to
the Jewish sacrifices.
00:16:41.43\00:16:47.67
And only he could
do this, my friend,
00:16:47.70\00:16:50.21
because he was the Lamb of God.
00:16:50.24\00:16:53.88
You see, when
Christ died on the cross,
00:16:53.91\00:16:58.88
He brought an end
00:16:58.91\00:17:00.25
to all the sacrifices
of the Jewish sanctuary.
00:17:00.28\00:17:05.45
And at the very moment
00:17:05.49\00:17:07.29
when our Christ
was dying on the cross,
00:17:07.32\00:17:11.23
the high priest was about
to offer up the sacrifice.
00:17:11.26\00:17:17.53
And the Bible
says that as he died,
00:17:17.57\00:17:20.67
the veil in the temple was
torn from the top to the bottom
00:17:20.70\00:17:26.71
by an unseen hand
00:17:26.74\00:17:28.14
to show that this
whole system of sacrifices
00:17:28.18\00:17:34.08
had been fulfilled.
00:17:34.12\00:17:38.25
And all those
sacrifices were fulfilled
00:17:38.29\00:17:42.16
in Jesus Christ, the Jew,
00:17:42.19\00:17:45.99
the Jewish Messiah.
00:17:46.03\00:17:48.46
This is great evidence for
an earnest seek of a truth,
00:17:48.50\00:17:52.07
I tell you.
00:17:52.10\00:17:53.44
Now please notice verse
26, which is astounding.
00:17:53.47\00:17:59.84
"Now after the 62 weeks..."
00:17:59.87\00:18:01.61
Don't worry about
that, we don't have time.
00:18:01.64\00:18:03.78
"Messiah shall be cut off."
00:18:03.81\00:18:06.21
All the priests
thought He was going to come
00:18:06.25\00:18:08.45
as the conquering
lion of the tribe of Judah.
00:18:08.48\00:18:14.92
But now the Bible says,
00:18:14.96\00:18:16.46
He would be cut off
and He was crucified
00:18:16.49\00:18:19.83
by the religious
people of His own day,
00:18:19.86\00:18:22.30
the politicians.
00:18:22.33\00:18:23.97
"Not for himself,"
He was cut off for us.
00:18:24.00\00:18:26.74
Now look at this.
00:18:26.77\00:18:28.10
"And the people of
the prince who is to come
00:18:28.14\00:18:32.91
shall destroy the
city and the sanctuary."
00:18:32.94\00:18:36.85
Look at those
words written 550 BC,
00:18:36.88\00:18:41.95
the people of the
prince who shall come,
00:18:41.98\00:18:44.65
it doesn't say
the prince will do it,
00:18:44.69\00:18:47.76
but the people of the prince
00:18:47.79\00:18:50.99
shall destroy the
city and the sanctuary.
00:18:51.03\00:18:53.13
"The end of it
shall be with a flood
00:18:53.16\00:18:55.40
and till the end of the war
desolations are determined."
00:18:55.43\00:19:00.87
A few years later in 70 AD,
00:19:00.90\00:19:03.77
the Romans came
against Jerusalem.
00:19:03.81\00:19:07.51
They came
firstly under Vespasian,
00:19:07.54\00:19:10.48
he became the emperor
but Vespasian came in 60 AD.
00:19:10.51\00:19:16.79
And the world
went on around Judea.
00:19:16.82\00:19:20.12
But then Titus came in 70 AD.
00:19:20.16\00:19:24.66
This is the very arch of Titus
00:19:24.69\00:19:26.76
that I took pictures of in Rome.
00:19:26.80\00:19:28.90
There are the
seven golden candlesticks
00:19:28.93\00:19:31.63
being carried away
00:19:31.67\00:19:33.00
according to Bible prophecy.
00:19:33.03\00:19:36.10
Now I meet some
people and they say,
00:19:36.14\00:19:37.91
this Christianity
junk is all about faith.
00:19:37.94\00:19:43.75
Now I don't believe
because of blind faith,
00:19:43.78\00:19:46.28
I believe because of
overwhelming evidence.
00:19:46.31\00:19:50.15
My faith rests upon
the evidence of history
00:19:50.19\00:19:55.09
and Bible prophecy.
00:19:55.12\00:19:56.59
And Bible prophecy predicted
the overthrow of Jerusalem
00:19:56.62\00:20:00.63
and it says the people
of the prince would do it.
00:20:00.66\00:20:05.73
When the Romans broke
into Jerusalem in 70 AD,
00:20:05.77\00:20:10.94
Titus said to the soldiers,
00:20:10.97\00:20:13.14
"I command you in
the name of Caesar,
00:20:13.17\00:20:15.98
spare the temple, it
is the temple of Yahweh."
00:20:16.01\00:20:22.38
Titus said, "Spare the temple."
00:20:22.42\00:20:25.59
The Roman soldiers got
down there into the temple
00:20:25.62\00:20:28.96
and filled with rage
00:20:28.99\00:20:30.76
at the ferocious ferocity
00:20:30.79\00:20:35.66
of the Jewish soldiers.
00:20:35.70\00:20:38.17
They waded into the mob
00:20:38.20\00:20:41.24
and the blood ran down the
steps of the Jewish temple,
00:20:41.27\00:20:45.74
the blood and the gold together.
00:20:45.77\00:20:48.54
According to the Bible prophecy,
00:20:48.58\00:20:52.41
the people of the
prince, the prince didn't do it,
00:20:52.45\00:20:56.38
the soldiers pushed him aside.
00:20:56.42\00:20:59.62
That's astounding.
00:20:59.65\00:21:02.99
That they should
treat Caesar like this,
00:21:03.02\00:21:05.86
he held up the staff of Caesar.
00:21:05.89\00:21:07.83
He said in the name of
Caesar, they pushed him aside,
00:21:07.86\00:21:11.27
and the people of the prince,
00:21:11.30\00:21:14.40
the Roman soldiers
burned the city to the ground
00:21:14.44\00:21:18.91
and the
surviving Jews cried out,
00:21:18.94\00:21:21.08
"Ichabod, Ichabod
the glory is to pardon."
00:21:21.11\00:21:25.58
Every word of the
prophecy came to pass.
00:21:25.61\00:21:31.02
Christ came on
time, He lived on time,
00:21:31.05\00:21:34.96
He died on time,
00:21:34.99\00:21:37.49
and He will come back on time.
00:21:37.53\00:21:40.40
Now listen to this carefully.
00:21:40.43\00:21:42.23
People say, "Will there be peace
00:21:45.43\00:21:47.07
in the Middle East,
peace in the world?"
00:21:47.10\00:21:49.40
My friend,
Jesus Christ is called
00:21:49.44\00:21:52.27
in the Hebrew
scriptures, the Prince of Peace.
00:21:52.31\00:21:55.74
There is no peace
until He is accepted.
00:21:55.78\00:22:00.38
But there is peace, forgiveness,
00:22:00.42\00:22:02.18
salvation to everyone
00:22:02.22\00:22:03.82
who comes in repentance
00:22:03.85\00:22:06.42
to this Jewish Jesus, you see.
00:22:06.45\00:22:12.13
Look at verse 24
again, Daniel 9:24,
00:22:12.16\00:22:18.03
"Seventy weeks are
determined for your people
00:22:18.07\00:22:20.34
and for your holy city..."
00:22:20.37\00:22:21.70
Look at these words.
00:22:21.74\00:22:23.07
"To finish the transgression,
to make an end of sins,
00:22:23.10\00:22:26.47
to make
reconciliation for iniquity,
00:22:26.51\00:22:28.81
to bring in
everlasting righteousness,
00:22:28.84\00:22:31.01
to seal up the
vision and prophecy,
00:22:31.05\00:22:32.85
and to anoint the Most Holy."
00:22:32.88\00:22:37.85
That was fulfilled in 31 AD
00:22:37.89\00:22:41.92
when Christ died on the cross.
00:22:41.96\00:22:46.03
It will be filled full
00:22:46.06\00:22:51.07
when He comes again.
00:22:51.10\00:22:53.80
Then we will have
00:22:53.84\00:22:56.37
our reign of
everlasting righteousness.
00:22:56.40\00:23:00.84
That will be the end of sin.
00:23:00.88\00:23:05.08
God will seal up the vision
00:23:05.11\00:23:07.72
and anoint the most
holy, the New Jerusalem.
00:23:07.75\00:23:12.82
There are good times
ahead for the people of God
00:23:12.85\00:23:16.86
who will be promoted to glory.
00:23:16.89\00:23:20.16
But the Bible
says, listen to this,
00:23:20.20\00:23:23.70
there will be no peace
in the streets of America,
00:23:23.73\00:23:29.24
no peace in the Middle East
00:23:29.27\00:23:32.24
until Jesus Christ is accepted
00:23:32.27\00:23:36.85
as the Prince of Peace.
00:23:36.88\00:23:40.02
Now I wanna tell
you folk something else.
00:23:40.05\00:23:42.78
Look at this great
picture, my team put together.
00:23:42.82\00:23:45.35
God today has got a new nation.
00:23:49.86\00:23:52.93
People say, "That's us."
00:23:52.96\00:23:54.80
Wait on.
00:23:54.83\00:23:56.77
God has got a new
nation, a new Israel.
00:23:56.80\00:24:02.67
In the Old Testament
it's all based upon race.
00:24:02.70\00:24:06.14
You had to be of this race,
00:24:06.17\00:24:10.71
but in the New Testament
00:24:10.75\00:24:12.75
God has got a new nation,
00:24:12.78\00:24:14.35
it isn't based on racism,
00:24:14.38\00:24:16.45
it is composed of true believers
00:24:16.48\00:24:20.09
who worship Jesus Christ
00:24:20.12\00:24:22.09
whether they are Jews,
whether they are gentiles,
00:24:22.12\00:24:26.29
whether they are Arabs,
whether they are Americans,
00:24:26.33\00:24:30.53
whether they are Australians,
whether they are Russians,
00:24:30.57\00:24:35.80
that's Gods nation, you see,
00:24:35.84\00:24:39.87
because those people
00:24:39.91\00:24:43.35
constitute spiritual Israel.
00:24:43.38\00:24:47.62
And the Bible
says, "You're not a Jew
00:24:47.65\00:24:49.78
if you are won outwardly,
00:24:49.82\00:24:51.82
you're a Jew if
you are won inwardly.
00:24:51.85\00:24:56.32
And those people
who believe in Christ
00:24:56.36\00:25:00.36
and who repent of their sins
00:25:00.40\00:25:03.87
are grafted into
the tree of Israel.
00:25:03.90\00:25:09.57
They become the true Israelite
00:25:09.60\00:25:12.71
and whether they are
black or they are brown,
00:25:12.74\00:25:16.04
whether they are yellow,
whether they are Chinese,
00:25:16.08\00:25:19.75
whether they come from Mongolia,
00:25:19.78\00:25:22.35
whether they are
English or Australian like me,
00:25:22.38\00:25:26.25
if they trust in Christ,
00:25:26.29\00:25:29.12
the Jewish Messiah
and repent of their sins,
00:25:29.16\00:25:34.26
God gives to them
everlasting righteousness.
00:25:34.30\00:25:38.77
He does away with sin
in their lives, hallelujah!
00:25:38.80\00:25:44.21
And they are promoted to glory,
00:25:44.24\00:25:49.98
and they will live
00:25:50.01\00:25:52.25
for millions, and
millions, and billions of years.
00:25:52.28\00:25:58.69
And all the people say...
00:25:58.72\00:26:00.86
Amen. Amen and amen.
00:26:00.89\00:26:04.39
Today we're starting
the Washington DC Project.
00:26:07.76\00:26:12.23
We are going by the grace of God
00:26:12.27\00:26:14.94
to buy time on
Washington television.
00:26:14.97\00:26:18.57
And we're going to
have messages for our people
00:26:18.61\00:26:21.64
in the White House
and on Capitol Hill.
00:26:21.68\00:26:25.61
There's a reason
we're doing this.
00:26:25.65\00:26:27.92
And Time Magazine
has been the reason
00:26:27.95\00:26:30.92
that we thought of doing this.
00:26:30.95\00:26:32.99
Notice this Time Magazine,
00:26:33.02\00:26:35.52
it says, "Is Truth dead?"
00:26:35.56\00:26:40.56
Apparently, many people
in Washington would say,
00:26:40.60\00:26:43.37
"Yes, truth is dead."
00:26:43.40\00:26:45.97
And we can say anything we
like because truth is dead.
00:26:46.00\00:26:52.04
That's why we
have so much fake news
00:26:52.07\00:26:55.54
today in Washington.
00:26:55.58\00:26:58.18
We're going to be
talking truth to power.
00:26:58.21\00:27:01.02
We're going to be
talking about the great truths
00:27:01.05\00:27:03.45
that founded this great country.
00:27:03.49\00:27:05.69
We're going to be talking about
00:27:05.72\00:27:07.62
the great undergirding realities
00:27:07.66\00:27:10.96
that were the foundation stones
of the great American Republic.
00:27:10.99\00:27:16.00
And we want you to
support this project.
00:27:16.03\00:27:18.43
If you believe that
we should bring a message
00:27:18.47\00:27:20.70
to the leadership in Washington,
00:27:20.74\00:27:23.10
please support us.
00:27:23.14\00:27:24.47
We have no money to
do this at this moment.
00:27:24.51\00:27:27.91
We're asking you
to send your offerings
00:27:27.94\00:27:31.35
and your money to
the Washington Project.
