THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL. 08:57 ALWAYS - THEY'VE BARELY PUT AWAY THE HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS 09:01 THOUGH, FOR THOSE OF US HERE IN SACRAMENTO. 09:06 GREETINGS FRIENDS, I WANT TO WELCOME THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE 09:09 PART OF OUR REGULAR CLASS HERE. WE HAVE SOME VISITORS HERE AND 09:14 ANYWAY, NOW TO OUR LESSON. WE'RE CONTINUING WITH OUR STUDY 09:18 ON THE SANCTUARY AND TODAY WE'RE IN LESSON #10 AND THIS LESSON 09:23 TODAY IS DEALING WITH THE ESCHATOLOGICAL DAY OF ATONEMENT. 09:28 NOW, ESCHATOLOGY IS THE STUDY, IN PARTICULAR, OF LAST-DAY 09:33 EVENTS AND AS WE TALK ABOUT THE DAY OF ATONEMENT THERE IS A 09:37 SPIRITUAL DAY OF ATONEMENT. WE KNOW JESUS IS OUR HIGH PRIEST 09:41 AND HE IS MINISTERING IN THAT HEAVENLY SANCTUARY ON OUR BEHALF 09:45 RIGHT NOW AND WE ARE ENTERING - WE'RE IN THE SYMBOLIC DAY OF 09:52 ATONEMENT OR THE SPIRITUAL DAY OF ATONEMENT WHERE CHRIST IS 09:54 DOING HIS FINAL WORK AS OUR HEAVENLY HIGH PRIEST. 09:58 NOW WE KNOW, ON EARTH - WELL, I'M GETTING INTO THE LESSON - WE 10:01 HAVE A MEMORY VERSE - BETTER DO THAT FIRST. 10:03 MEMORY VERSE COMES FROM DANIEL CHAPTER 8, VERSE 14. 10:07 I'LL BET A LOT OF YOU WHO ARE REGULAR LONG-TIME SEVENTH DAY 10:11 ADVENTISTS KNOW THAT VERSE, BUT LET'S SAY IT TOGETHER. 10:13 DANIEL 8, VERSE 14 - ARE YOU READY? 10:17 I THINK THIS IS COMING FROM THE KING JAMES VERSION. 10:19 "AND HE SAID UNTO ME, UNTO TWO THOUSAND AND THREE HUNDRED DAYS; 10:24 THEN SHALL THE SANCTUARY BE CLEANSED." 10:28 ALRIGHT, SO THE CLEANSING OF THE SANCTUARY - WE STUDIED EARLIER 10:32 IN OUR LESSON THAT PART OF THE REGULAR JEWISH ECONOMY, ON A 10:37 DAILY BASIS - THE PRIESTS WOULD GO IN AND THEY OFFERED 10:39 SACRIFICES AND THE DIFFERENT PEOPLE WOULD BRING THEIR 10:42 SACRIFICES, BUT ONCE A YEAR AT THE END OF THE YEAR, THEY HAD A 10:46 SPECIAL SERVICE CALLED 'THE CLEANSING OF THE SANCTUARY'. 10:49 IT HAPPENED ON A SPECIFIC DAY. THEY PREPARED FOR IT TEN DAYS IN 10:55 ADVANCE. THE TRUMPETS WOULD BLOW, THE PEOPLE WOULD HUMBLE 10:58 THEMSELVES, THEY WOULD CONFESS AND REPENT OF THEIR SINS BECAUSE 11:02 THIS WAS THE TIME WHEN GOD WOULD SYMBOLICALLY IN ANY EVENT, 11:07 SEPARATE THE PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS THAT HAD BEEN STORED IN THE 11:11 SANCTUARY THROUGH THE SPRINKLING OF BLOOD. 11:13 NOW TURN IN YOUR BIBLES, IF YOU WILL, TO THE BOOK OF DANIEL. 11:18 LET'S JUST GO THERE. OH, YOU KNOW WHAT I FORGOT? 11:20 I KNEW I WAS FORGETTING SOMETHING. 11:22 WE HAVE A FREE OFFER AND OUR OFFER FOR THOSE WHO ARE STUDYING 11:27 WITH US TODAY - AND YOU JUST CALL AND ASK FOR IT, IT'S OFFER 11:29 #803 AND JUST CALL THAT NUMBER 866-STUDY-MORE - 866-788-3966. 11:37 WE'LL SEND YOU 'CLEANSING THE TEMPLE' AND THAT WILL - 11:41 ALSO, IT'S GOT A CHART WE'RE GOING TO BE SHOWING YOU IN OUR 11:43 STUDY TODAY. WE WANT YOU TO HAVE THAT IN YOUR 11:45 HANDS. YOU'LL HAVE THE CHART IN THIS 11:47 LESSON THAT EXPLAINS THE SPIRITUAL DAY OF ATONEMENT. 11:51 OKAY, DANIEL CHAPTER 8 IN YOUR BIBLES. THIS IS ONE OF THE 11:56 LONGEST TIME PROPHECIES IN THE BIBLE, DANIEL 8. 12:00 DANIEL CHAPTER 12 HAS THE MOST TIME PROPHECIES IN ONE CHAPTER. 12:05 THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT TIME PROPHECIES IN DANIEL CHAPTER 12. 12:08 IN DANIEL 8 HERE YOU'VE GOT - SOME HAVE ARGUED WHETHER THIS IS 12:12 THE LONGEST, BUT I WON'T GET INTO THAT RIGHT NOW. 12:14 AND I WANT YOU TO BEGIN WITH - IT'S TALKING ABOUT - TO GET THE 12:18 CONTEXT FOR WHAT THIS PROPHECY IS DEALING WITH YOU'VE GOT TO 12:21 GET A LITTLE BACKGROUND. THE BOOK OF DANIEL IS TALKING 12:25 ABOUT THE HISTORY OF GOD'S PEOPLE FROM THE TIME OF DANIEL 12:30 UNTIL GOD'S KINGDOM IS ESTABLISHED IN THE WORLD JUST 12:33 LIKE REVELATION GOES FROM THE TIME OF JOHN UNTIL THE COMING OF 12:36 CHRIST AND GOD'S KINGDOM IS ESTABLISHED. 12:38 GOD TEACHES THE EVENTS OF WHAT HIS PEOPLE WILL GO THROUGH, 12:43 THROUGH A VARIETY OF PROPHECIES. REVELATION HAS SEVERAL 12:47 PROPHECIES THAT SAY THE SAME THING FROM DIFFERENT 12:49 PERSPECTIVES. DANIEL HAS SEVERAL PROPHECIES 12:52 THAT TEACH THE SAME TRUTH FROM DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES. 12:55 IT'S LIKE YOU COULD GET THIS PROFILE OF ME AND YOU COULD GET 12:58 THAT PROFILE OF ME AND YOU COULD GET THAT PROFILE OF ME - 13:02 IT'S ALL ME FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES. 13:05 THEY ALL LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT. 13:07 AND SO, FOR INSTANCE, IN DANIEL CHAPTER 2 IT'S TEACHING THE 13:12 HISTORY OF GOD'S PEOPLE AND THE COMING KINGDOM OF JESUS THROUGH 13:15 THIS GREAT IDOL THAT IS DESTROYED BY A ROCK. 13:19 AND THE DIFFERENT METALS OR MATERIALS IN THE IDOL REPRESENT 13:22 THE DIFFERENT KINGDOMS. AND YOU'VE GOT THE HEAD OF GOLD, 13:25 WHICH IS WHAT KINGDOM? IT'S BABYLON. 13:28 AND YOU'VE GOT THE CHEST OF SILVER, WHICH IS - TWO ARMS - 13:32 MEDO PERSIA. AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE BELLY 13:34 AND THE THIGHS OF BRONZE OR BRASS, WHICH REPRESENTS GREECE 13:38 AND THE LEGS ARE IRON AND THEY REPRESENT ROME. 13:41 FEET - IRON MIXED WITH CLAY - REPRESENTING THE TRANSITION OF 13:45 THE ROMAN EMPIRE WHERE IT WAS SPLIT INTO TEN PARTS - THE TEN 13:48 TOES - AND THE MIXTURE OF RELIGION AND GOVERNMENT 13:51 THAT YOU HAD IN THE FINAL KINGDOM. 13:53 THEN YOU GO AND YOU'VE GOT THE LION, YOU KNOW, IN DANIEL 13:56 CHAPTER 7 YOU'VE GOT THE LION AND YOU'VE GOT THE BEAR AND 14:01 YOU'VE GOT THE LEOPARD WITH FOUR HEADS, OKAY, AND THE BEAR'S 14:04 RAISED UP ON ONE SIDE - MEDO PERSIA - LION, BABYLON - AND 14:08 THEN YOU'VE GOT THE LEOPARD - FOUR HEADS - GREECE, OKAY? 14:11 AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE STRANGE BEAST WITH IRON TEETH - AGAIN 14:13 IT'S ROME AND YOU'VE GOT THE TEN HORNS THERE. 14:17 THAT ALSO PLAYS IN WHEN YOU GET A BEAST WITH SEVEN HEADS AND TEN 14:19 HORNS IN REVELATION. NOW WHEN YOU GO TO DANIEL 14:22 CHAPTER 8 YOU'VE GOT A RAM AND A GOAT. ONE IS A MALE GOAT AND 14:30 ONE IS A MALE SHEEP AND THEY GET INTO A BATTLE. 14:33 AND THE RAM HAS GOT TWO HORNS - ONE LARGER THAN THE OTHER AND 14:37 THE SECOND ONE COMES UP AND IT'S BIGGER THAN THE OTHER AND THAT 14:40 REPRESENTS AGAIN THE MEDO-PERSIAN KINGDOM. 14:42 NOW WHY IS HE LEAVING OUT BABYLON IN THIS VISION? 14:45 DANIEL CHAPTER 8? BECAUSE BABYLON'S PASSED OFF THE SCENE. 14:49 NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD DIED AND BELSHAZAR HAD BEEN DESTROYED AND 14:54 NOW DARIUS THE MEDE WAS IN POWER AND SO HE BEGINS WHERE HE IS AND 15:00 SO HE'S STARTING OUT WITH THE PERSIAN KINGDOM AND HE'S GIVING 15:02 THE KINGDOMS. AND IT SAYS THAT THE GOAT THAT 15:04 HAS ONE NOTABLE POWERFUL HORN BETWEEN HIS EYES, HE FIGHTS WITH 15:07 THE RAM AND HE BREAKS THE HORNS OF THE RAM AND HE KILLS IT AND 15:11 HE WAS IN GREAT POWER AND MIGHT - THE NOTABLE ONE SINGLE HORN 15:17 BREAKS OFF AND IN ITS PLACE FOUR HORNS COME UP. 15:19 VIRTUALLY ALL BIBLE COMMENTATORS AGREE UP TO THIS POINT. 15:23 THE FOUR HEADS OF THE LEOPARD? ALEXANDER THE GREAT DIES, HIS 15:26 KINGDOM IS DIVIDED AMONG HIS FOUR GENERALS - SPLIT INTO FOUR 15:28 PARTS. THE ONE NOTABLE HORN? ALEXANDER THE GREAT. 15:31 THE HORN IS BROKEN, HE DIES AFTER HAVING CONQUERED MUCH OF 15:34 THE WORLD - FOUR HORNS COME UP IN ITS PLACE. 15:37 NOW HERE'S WHERE OUR VISION COMES IN. 15:40 IT SAYS ONE OF THOSE FOUR HORNS - ONE OF THOSE DIVISIONS OF THE 15:45 REGIONS OF ALEXANDER'S KINGDOM - OR THE JEWS OFTEN THOUGHT OF 15:50 FOUR AS REPRESENTING THE FOUR DIRECTIONS OF THE POLES - NORTH, 15:54 SOUTH, EAST AND WEST. 'HE WILL SEND HIS ANGELS TO THE 15:57 FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH.' SO FOUR ALSO REPRESENTS 16:01 SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE GOT THESE DIFFERENT QUADRANTS - TALKING 16:05 ABOUT THE DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE KINGDOM. 16:08 THE AREA OF THE GREEK KINGDOM THAT WOULD BE IN THE NORTHWEST 16:13 QUADRANT, THAT WAS THE ONE HORN, IT SAYS FROM THAT HORN A LITTLE 16:20 HORN COMES UP. AND THAT'S WHERE WE TAKE UP HERE 16:24 WHEN WE READ IN DANIEL CHAPTER 8. 16:26 SO IF YOU GO IN DANIEL CHAPTER 8 AND VERSE 9, "AND OUT OF ONE OF 16:30 THEM" - ONE OF THOSE FOUR HORNS - "CAME A LITTLE HORN, WHICH 16:34 GREW EXCEEDINGLY GREAT" - I'M IN DANIEL 8, VERSE 9 - "GREW 16:38 EXCEEDINGLY GREAT TOWARD THE SOUTH, TOWARD THE EAST," - IT 16:42 DID, GOING INTO MACEDONIA - THIS IS THE ROMAN POWER - "AND TOWARD 16:46 THE GLORIOUS LAND." - THE PROMISED LAND - "AND IT 16:49 GREW UP TO THE HOST OF HEAVEN; AND IT CAST DOWN SOME OF THE 16:53 HOST AND SOME OF THE STARS TO THE GROUND," - THE WORD 'HOST' 16:56 THERE MEANS THE ARMY - "AND TRAMPLED THEM. 16:59 HE EVEN EXALTED HIMSELF AS HIGH AS THE PRINCE OF THE HOST;" - 17:03 NOW LET'S IDENTIFY SOME CHARACTERS HERE. 17:05 WHO IS THE LITTLE HORN THAT COMES OUT OF ONE OF THOSE 17:09 QUADRANTS OF THE FORMER GREEK EMPIRE? ROME. 17:12 MATTER OF FACT, ALL OVER THE WORLD WE SAY GRECO-ROMAN BECAUSE 17:17 ROME WAS SO HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY GREECE. 17:20 YOU HAVE THE GRECO-ROMAN ARCHITECTURE - AMERICA'S GOT, IN 17:23 WASHINGTON, GRECO-ROMAN ARCHITECTURE. 17:25 THE GRECO-ROMAN LAWS - MANY OF THE ROMAN LAWS THEY DREW FROM 17:29 THE GREEK LAWS WITH THE SENATE AND SO FORTH. 17:31 AND YOU'VE GOT THE GRECO-ROMAN GODS - THEY ACTUALLY CO-MINGLED 17:37 AND AMALGAMATED SEVERAL OF THEIR GODS. 17:40 WHEN THE ROMANS WERE CONQUERING THE FORMER GREEK TERRITORIES 17:42 THEY THOUGHT, 'WE WON'T MAKE THEM MAD IF WE SORT OF ADOPT 17:44 AND, YOU KNOW, CHRISTEN SOME OF THEIR GODS, SO TO SPEAK. 17:47 CHRISTEN'S THE WRONG WORD. 17:49 AND SO FROM THIS GREEK QUADRANT - ONE OF THOSE HORNS OF THE 17:54 FORMER GREEK EMPIRE, THE ROMAN POWER CAME UP. 17:57 BEGINNING AS A POLITICAL POWER RULED BY CAESARS, LATER TURNING 18:04 INTO A RELIGIOUS POWER RULED BY THE CHURCH AND IT BECAME A VERY 18:10 POWERFUL POWER. AND IT SAYS THIS LITTLE HORN, IT 18:15 WOULD BEGIN TO PERSECUTE GOD'S PEOPLE. 18:17 NOW UNDER THE POLITICAL POWER OF ROME, WERE GOD'S PEOPLE - THE 18:22 JEWS - PERSECUTED? THEY WERE. AND THEN LATER EVEN THE 18:27 CHRISTIANS WERE PERSECUTED. THEY THREW THEM TO THE LIONS. 18:30 GRADUALLY, CHRISTIANITY WENT THROUGH A CORRUPTION AND A 18:36 COUNTERFEIT FORM OF CHRISTIANITY MINGLED WITH THE ROMAN EMPIRE, 18:40 CAME INTO POWER, AND BEGAN TO PERSECUTE GENUINE CHRISTIANS, 18:44 AND TO DISTORT THE TRUTH. 'FIGHTING AGAINST THE HOST OF 18:48 GOD - THE ARMY OF GOD - AND THE TRUTH OF GOD.' 18:51 WELL, IT BECOMES CLEAR AS YOU READ THIS. 18:54 "HE EVEN EXALTED HIMSELF AS HIGH AS THE PRINCE OF THE HOST." 18:57 - NOW WHO IS THE PRINCE OF THE HOST? IF YOU LOOK IN THE BIBLE - 19:02 GO TO JOSHUA CHAPTER 5 - AND THIS IS IN YOUR LESSON - 19:05 YOU WILL NOT HEAR ME GOING THROUGH THE DAYS AND BREAKING UP 19:08 THE LESSON THE WAY IT IS BECAUSE I'VE GOT SO MUCH TO COVER I'M 19:10 JUST GOING TO TRY AND BLEND IT ALL TOGETHER HERE. 19:13 JOSHUA 5:13, "AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN JOSHUA" - THE GENERAL 19:18 THERE - "WAS BY JERICHO, THAT HE LIFTED UP HIS EYES AND LOOKED 19:21 AND BEHOLD, THERE STOOD A MAN OVER AGAINST HIM WITH HIS SWORD 19:25 DRAWN IN HIS HAND: AND JOSHUA WENT UNTO HIM AND SAID UNTO HIM, 19:29 'ART THOU FOR US, OR FOR OUR ADVERSARIES?'" - 19:31 THERE'S THIS MAJESTIC-LOOKING PERSONAGE THERE 19:35 - "AND HE SAID, 'NAY; BUT AS CAPTAIN OF THE HOST OF THE LORD 19:38 AM I NOW COME.'" JESUS IS CALLED THE PRINCE OF 19:41 PRINCES. JESUS IS OUR GENERAL. 19:45 HE IS THE CAPTAIN OF THE LORD'S ARMY. AND SO, 19:47 THE CAPTAIN OF THE HOST IS THE LEADER OF THE LORD'S ARMY. 19:50 WHEN IT SAYS, IN DANIEL, THIS LITTLE HORN POWER WOULD EXALT 19:54 HIMSELF EVEN AGAINST THE PRINCE OF THE HOST - THE CAPTAIN OF THE 19:58 LORD'S ARMY - WHO IS THAT? 20:01 EVEN AGAINST CHRIST, THE PRINCE OF PRINCES. 20:04 AND I JUST WANTED TO READ THIS BUT I'M GETTING DRAWN INTO IT 20:08 HERE, AND "HE EVEN EXALTED HIMSELF AS HIGH AS THE PRINCE OF 20:11 THE HOST; AND BY HIM THE DAILY SACRIFICES WERE TAKEN AWAY, AND 20:16 THE PLACE OF HIS SANCTUARY WAS CAST DOWN." 20:20 - NOW I'M JUST GOING TO READ THIS AND WE'LL BACK UP AND 20:21 EXPLAIN IT - "BECAUSE OF TRANSGRESSION, AN ARMY WAS GIVEN 20:25 OVER TO THE HORN TO OPPOSE THE DAILY SACRIFICES; AND HE CAST 20:35 NOW, FOR ME, THE OPERATIVE VERSE OR PHRASE IN THIS BATTLE OF THE 20:41 LITTLE HORN AGAINST THE LORD IS 'HE CAST THE TRUTH TO THE 20:47 GROUND'. 'THY WORD IS TRUTH.' JESUS SAID, 'I AM THE TRUTH'. 20:54 'THE TRUTH WILL MAKE YOU FREE.' IF YOU DON'T HAVE TRUTH, 20:56 WHAT DO YOU HAVE? YOU'VE GOT AIR - YOU'VE GOT NOTHING. 20:59 AND SO, THIS WAS A BATTLE AGAINST THE TRUTH OF GOD THAT 21:03 WOULD BE ECLIPSED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. 21:07 THE TRUTH PROPHESIED UNDER SACKCLOTH. 21:11 THE TRUTH FLED INTO THE WILDERNESS. 21:14 THE TRUTH THAT GOD'S PEOPLE HAD ENJOYED IN FREEDOM AT ONE POINT 21:18 WHEN THEY WERE THEIR OWN POWER, WOULD NOW BE OPPRESSED AND 21:20 HIDDEN AND FOUGHT AGAINST IN AN ORGANIZED, ORCHESTRATED WAY. 21:24 THIS IS WHAT THIS LITTLE HORN POWER DID - AND PERSECUTED. 21:27 BIBLES WERE LOCKED UP IN MONASTERIES - PERSECUTED GOD'S 21:31 PEOPLE - THEY WERE BURNT AT THE STAKE. 21:33 AND HE DOES THIS AND HE PRACTICED AND HE PROSPERED. 21:36 AND IT'S THROUGH AN ORGANIZATION IT'S DONE. 21:39 "THEN I HEARD A HOLY ONE" - ONE OF THESE ANGELIC BEINGS THAT'S 21:41 TOURING JOHN - DANIEL RATHER - IN VISION - "SPEAKING; AND 21:45 ANOTHER HOLY ONE SAID TO THAT CERTAIN ONE WHO WAS SPEAKING, 21:49 'HOW LONG WILL THE VISION BE, CONCERNING THE DAILY SACRIFICES 21:54 AND THE TRANSGRESSION OF DESOLATION, THE GIVING OF BOTH 21:57 THE SANCTUARY AND THE HOST TO BE TRAMPLED UNDERFOOT?' 22:00 AND HE SAID TO ME, 'FOR TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DAYS; 22:04 THEN THE SANCTUARY SHALL BE CLEANSED.'" 22:07 ALRIGHT, BOY WE'VE GOT A LOT TO TALK ABOUT HERE. 22:09 LET ME SEE, WHERE SHALL I BEGIN? I'M GOING TO JUMP AROUND 22:11 A LITTLE BIT. HOW MANY SANCTUARIES WERE THERE 22:17 IN BIBLE TIMES - LIKE IN THE DAYS OF MOSES? 22:20 WHEN MOSES BUILT THE TABERNACLE ON EARTH, WAS IT THE ONLY 22:23 SANCTUARY OR WAS IT MODELED AFTER A SANCTUARY IN HEAVEN? 22:29 HOW MANY SANCTUARIES ARE THERE IN THE WORLD TODAY? 22:36 WELL, THERE ARE TWO SANCTUARIES THAT EXIST: ONE ON EARTH AND ONE 22:40 IN HEAVEN. 'BUT PASTOR DOUG, THE JEWISH TEMPLE WAS DESTROYED BACK 22:45 IN THE TIMES OF THE APOSTLES - ABOUT 70 A.D. - 22:50 THERE'S NO SANCTUARY ON EARTH NOW.' OH REALLY? 22:54 ALRIGHT, SOMEONE LOOK UP FOR ME 1 PETER 2, VERSE 5. 22:58 TO KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO CLEANSE THE SANCTUARY WE'VE GOT TO KNOW 23:00 WHERE THE SANCTUARY OR SANCTUARIES ARE. 23:04 1 PETER 2:5 - DID WE GIVE THAT TO SOMEBODY? 23:07 YOU GOT SOMEONE THERE? ALRIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU 23:09 A SECOND TO - THEY'RE GOING TO GET YOU ON CAMERA HERE. 23:12 WHILE HE'S GETTING FOCUSED, I'M GOING TO READ EPHESIANS 2, VERSE 23:16 19, "NOW, THEREFORE, YOU ARE NO LONGER STRANGERS AND FOREIGNERS, 23:20 BUT FELLOW CITIZENS WITH THE SAINTS AND MEMBERS OF THE 23:23 HOUSEHOLD OF GOD, HAVING BEEN BUILT ON THE FOUNDATION OF THE 23:27 APOSTLES AND PROPHETS, JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF BEING THE CHIEF 23:30 CORNERSTONE, IN WHOM THE WHOLE BUILDING, BEING FITTED TOGETHER, 23:35 GROWS INTO A HOLY TEMPLE IN THE LORD, IN WHOM YOU ALSO ARE BEING 23:40 BUILT TOGETHER FOR A DWELLING PLACE OF GOD IN THE SPIRIT." 23:44 'WHAT, KNOW YE NOT THAT YE ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD?' 23:47 THERE'S A TEMPLE STILL ON EARTH, RIGHT? 23:49 ARE WE READY FOR THAT? YEAH, GO AHEAD. 23:51 YOU'RE GOING TO READ FOR US 1 PETER 2:5. 23:54 >>"YOU ALSO, AS LIVING STONES, ARE BEING BUILT UP A SPIRITUAL 23:59 HOUSE, A HOLY PRIESTHOOD, TO OFFER UP SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES 24:04 ACCEPTABLE TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST." 24:07 >>ALRIGHT, LET ME GIVE YOU ANOTHER ONE: MARK 14, VERSE 58. 24:12 YOU KNOW, THE ONLY TWO WITNESSES THEY COULD GET TO AGREE AT THE 24:14 TRIAL OF CHRIST ARE THESE TWO AND HERE'S WHAT THEY SAID, "WE 24:18 HEARD HIM SAY, 'I WILL DESTROY THIS TEMPLE MADE WITH HANDS, AND 24:21 WITHIN THREE DAYS I WILL BUILD ANOTHER MADE WITHOUT HANDS.'" 24:25 THAT WAS PRETTY CLOSE TO WHAT JESUS SAID - NOT EXACTLY - 24:29 CHRIST SAID, 'DESTROY THIS TEMPLE AND IN THREE DAYS I'LL 24:31 RAISE IT UP.' AND HE WAS SPEAKING OF HIS BODY, 24:33 RIGHT? WHAT IS THE CHURCH CALLED? 24:35 THE BODY OF CHRIST. JESUS CALLED IT A TEMPLE. 24:40 HEBREWS 9, VERSE 11, "BUT CHRIST BEING COME AN HIGH PRIEST OF 24:44 GOOD THINGS TO COME, BY A GREATER AND MORE PERFECT 24:47 TABERNACLE, NOT MADE WITH HANDS, THAT IS TO SAY, NOT OF THIS 24:52 BUILDING." SO WE'VE GOT TWO TABERNACLES THE 24:55 BIBLE IS SPEAKING OF. LET ME GIVE YOU ONE MORE VERSE. 24:57 OH, I THINK IT'S IN - IS IT 1 CHRONICLES 17? 25:01 WHERE DAVID IS IN HIS HOUSE AND HE'S PRAYING - HE'S THINKING 25:04 ABOUT BUILDING THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD AND NATHAN THE PROPHET 25:06 COMES AND HE SAYS, 'YOU WILL NOT BUILD ME A TEMPLE BECAUSE YOU'RE 25:10 A BLOODY MAN, BUT YOUR SON WHO WILL COME AFTER YOU, HE WILL 25:12 BUILD ME A HOUSE THAT WILL LAST FOREVER.' 25:15 WHAT WAS THE TEMPLE THAT THE SON OF DAVID WAS GOING TO BUILD? 25:19 WELL, DAVID'S SON SOLOMON DID BUILD AN EARTHLY TEMPLE. 25:22 DAVID'S SON JESUS BUILT A HEAVENLY TEMPLE - A SPIRITUAL 25:26 TEMPLE I SHOULD SAY - ON EARTH. AND HE ALSO BUILD THE ONE IN 25:29 HEAVEN NOT MADE WITH MAN'S HANDS, RIGHT? 25:31 SO YOU'VE KIND OF GOT A DUAL FULFILLMENT OF THAT PROPHECY. 25:34 SO, I SAID ALL THAT TO SAY THIS: WHEN WE READ ABOUT TWO THOUSAND 25:39 THREE HUNDRED DAYS THEN THE SANCTUARY WILL BE CLEANSED, WHAT 25:43 SANCTUARIES ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? 25:46 SANCTUARY IN HEAVEN AND THE SANCTUARY ON EARTH. 25:50 LET ME SHARE SOMETHING WITH YOU. ALRIGHT, THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT 25:54 THERE IS A JUDGMENT THAT HAPPENS BEFORE JESUS COMES. 25:57 WE ALL BELIEVE IN THE GREAT JUDGMENT DAY? 26:00 NOW JUDGMENT IS SORT OF BROKEN UP INTO TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT 26:04 PHASES. THERE'S A JUDGMENT THAT HAPPENS 26:06 BEFORE JESUS COMES. SOMEONE LOOK UP FOR ME 26:09 1 PETER 4:17. DOES SOMEBODY HAVE THAT? 26:14 OKAY, RIGHT UP FRONT HERE. HOLD YOUR HAND UP. 26:17 AND WHILE YOU'RE DOING THAT, I WANT TO READ THIS - REVELATION 26:19 14:7 - IN THE THREE ANGELS' MESSAGES THIS ANGEL - THE FIRST 26:25 ANGEL SAYS, "FEAR GOD AND GIVE GLORY TO HIM FOR THE HOUR OF HIS 26:29 JUDGMENT IS COME." IT HAS COME. 26:32 SO HERE IN THE LAST DAYS IT'S TELLING US A JUDGMENT HAS BEGUN 26:37 - A JUDGMENT HAS COME. NOW WHERE DOES THIS FIRST PHASE 26:42 OF THE JUDGMENT BEGIN? ALRIGHT, ARE WE READY FOR YOU? 26:45 WE ARE. GO AHEAD MIKE. 26:46 >>OKAY, 1 PETER 4:17, "FOR THE TIME HAS COME FOR JUDGMENT TO 26:50 BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD; AND IF IT BEGINS WITH US FIRST, WHAT 26:56 WILL BE THE END OF THOSE WHO DO NOT OBEY THE GOSPEL OF GOD?" 27:01 >>SO THE FIRST PHASE OF THE JUDGMENT, DOES IT BEGIN WITH THE 27:03 LOST OR DOES IT BEGIN WITH THOSE WHO PROFESS TO KNOW THE LORD? 27:08 IT'S THOSE WHO PROFESS TO KNOW THE LORD. 27:10 HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER READING IN EZEKIEL 9:6 - EZEKIEL HAD A 27:14 VISION ABOUT A JUDGMENT WHERE EVERYBODY GETS A MARK? 27:18 NOW IN EZEKIEL'S JUDGMENT - EZEKIEL 9 - THOSE THAT GET THE 27:23 MARK ARE SAVED - LIKE THOSE WHO GET THE SEAL OF GOD IN 27:25 REVELATION. IT'S NOT A BAD MARK IT'S A GOOD MARK. 27:28 AND YOU CAN READ THIS, IT SAYS, 'UTTERLY SLAY OLD AND YOUNG MEN, 27:33 MAIDENS AND LITTLE CHILDREN, AND WOMEN, BUT DO NOT COME NEAR 27:36 ANYONE ON WHOM IS THE MARK AND BEGIN AT MY SANCTUARY.' 27:41 BEGIN AT MY HOUSE. THIS IS WHAT PETER IS REFERRING 27:43 TO WHEN HE SAYS, 'JUDGMENT MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD.' 27:46 SO THEY BEGAN WITH THE ELDERS WHO WERE BEFORE THE TEMPLE. 27:50 NOT ONLY DO THEY BEGIN WITH THE PEOPLE OF GOD, BUT THEY BEGIN 27:51 WITH THE OLDEST WHO SHOULD KNOW THE BEST. 27:54 HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER ANOTHER JUDGMENT THAT TOOK PLACE IN THE 27:57 HOUSE OF GOD WHEN, IN JOHN CHAPTER 8, THIS WOMAN, WHO MAY 28:01 HAVE BEEN MARY MAGDALENE, IS BROUGHT IN - CAUGHT IN THE ACT 28:03 OF ADULTERY? YOU REMEMBER THAT? 28:05 THEY SAID, 'THE LAW SAYS SHE'S GUILTY. SHE WAS CAUGHT IN 28:08 THE ACT. SHE SHOULD BE DESTROYED.' THERE'S A JUDGMENT 28:10 THAT'S HAPPENING IN THE TEMPLE. IT SAYS JESUS IS TEACHING IN THE 28:13 TEMPLE WHEN THEY BRING THIS WOMAN, RIGHT? 28:16 THROW HER AT THE FEET - THEY'RE READY TO STONE HER AND JESUS 28:20 WRITES IN THE DUST ON THE TEMPLE FLOOR - HE'S PROBABLY WRITING 28:23 OUT THE SINS OF HER ACCUSERS OR THE LAWS THAT THEY HAVE BROKEN, 28:26 AND THEN HE STANDS UP AND HE SAYS, 'HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN 28:30 AMONG YOU, LET HIM CAST THE FIRST STONE AT HER.' 28:32 THEN HE STOOPS DOWN AND KEEPS WRITING OUT THEIR SINS. 28:35 WELL, THEY'RE OVERWHELMED WITH GUILT AND IT SAYS, 'BEGINNING AT 28:38 THE ELDEST, EVEN UNTO THE LEAST, THEY WENT OUT ONE BY ONE.' 28:43 A JUDGMENT IN THE HOUSE OF GOD. AND HERE YOU'VE GOT A WOMAN - 28:47 A TYPE OF THE CHURCH IN THIS JUDGMENT AS WELL. 28:51 SO THERE MAY BE SOME SPIRITUAL CONNECTION THERE. 28:55 SO JUST TO MAKE THIS CLEAR, I STILL BELIEVE THAT 28:59 A JUDGMENT TAKES PLACE BEFORE JESUS COMES. 29:02 IT'S CALLED THE PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT. 29:04 I'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THAT. 29:05 IT'S ALWAYS MADE SENSE TO ME. SEE IF YOU DON'T AGREE. 29:09 DOES THE BIBLE SAY, 'BEHOLD I COME AND MY REWARD IS WITH ME TO 29:13 GIVE TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS'? 29:15 IS JESUS DISPENSING HIS REWARDS WHEN HE COMES? 29:19 DOES IT STAND TO REASON TO YOU THEN THAT SOME JUDGMENT TAKES 29:22 PLACE BEFORE HE COMES? OR IS HE GOING TO REWARD 29:26 EVERYBODY AND THEN HE SAYS, 'NOW LET'S HAVE A JUDGMENT'? 29:29 IT'S LIKE HAVING THE EXECUTION AND THEN HAVING THE TRIAL. 29:32 THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY - OR GIVING A PERSON, YOU KNOW, THEIR 29:34 HEAVENLY REWARD AND SAYING, 'NOW LET'S JUDGE THEM.' 29:36 SO SOME JUDGMENT HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE JESUS COMES. 29:39 DON'T ANYONE EVER - LET ANYONE INTIMIDATE YOU ABOUT THE 29:42 PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT. IT'S COMMON SENSE IN THE BIBLE. 29:45 IT'S ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE. AND SO, BACK TO THIS SANCTUARY - 29:51 EXCUSE ME - IT TELLS US THAT THERE'S - THERE'S AN ATTACK ON 29:56 THE DAILY SACRIFICE. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WHAT IS THIS DAILY? 30:01 IF YOU LOOK IN THE BIBLE, YOU CAN SEE THAT, FOR INSTANCE, 30:05 SOMEBODY LOOK UP FOR ME EXODUS 29:38 - DID SOMEBODY GET THAT 30:10 VERSE? HOLD UP YOUR HAND IF YOU DID. 30:12 RIGHT OVER HERE. WE'LL HAVE YOU LOOK THAT UP. 30:15 AND WHEN WE STUDY PROPHECY - WHILE YOU'RE LOOKING THAT UP - 30:23 I WANT TO RE-CAP SOMETHING I THINK MOST OF US KNOW. 30:25 WHEN WE STUDY PROPHECY, IS THERE A PRINCIPLE THAT WE APPLY? 30:29 IT SAYS 'UNTO TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DAYS, THEN THE SANCTUARY 30:32 WILL BE CLEANSED.' SOME OF YOUR BIBLES SAY 30:35 'TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DAYS'. 30:37 IF YOU HAVE A NEW KING JAMES VERSION OR IF YOU HAVE A KING 30:39 JAMES VERSION, YOUR BIBLE PROBABLY SAYS 30:41 'TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DAYS'. 30:43 IF YOU HAVE A NEW AMERICAN STANDARD VERSION OR AN NIV BIBLE 30:46 YOUR BIBLE SAYS 'TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED EVENINGS AND 30:49 MORNINGS' IS THAT RIGHT? 30:51 SO, DO WE APPLY THE DAY-FOR-THE-YEAR PRINCIPLE HERE? 30:58 I SAY YES AND THE REASON IS HOW MANY DAYS - HOW MANY TIMES OF 31:06 THE YEAR DID THEY HAVE A CLEANSING OF THE SANCTUARY? 31:10 ONCE ANNUALLY, IS THAT RIGHT? 31:14 YOM KIPPUR - COMES ONCE A YEAR - DAY OF ATONEMENT. 31:17 THE CONTEXT OF DANIEL CHAPTER 8 IS TALKING ABOUT THE CLEANSING 31:21 OF THE SANCTUARY. THIS WAS A ONCE-A-YEAR EVENT. 31:25 ON THE DAY OF ATONEMENT THEY HAD 31:27 A MORNING AND AN EVENING SACRIFICE. 31:30 SO IF THEY'RE SAYING TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DAYS, A 31:33 DAY AND A YEAR - IN A PROPHECY A DAY REPRESENTS A YEAR, RIGHT? 31:39 IF THEY'RE SAYING TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DAYS OF ATONEMENT, 31:43 HOW MANY TIMES DID THAT COME? ONCE A YEAR. 31:46 IT'S STILL TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED YEARS EITHER WAY. 31:48 YOU'RE SAYING TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED PROPHETIC DAYS OR TWO 31:51 THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DAYS OF ATONEMENT - THEY'RE BOTH A YEAR. 31:54 AND SO YOU HAVE TO APPLY A YEAR FOR 31:56 THE TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DAYS. 31:58 IT'S NOT TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED LITERAL DAYS. 32:00 ANOTHER REASON YOU KNOW THAT IS NOTHING SIGNIFICANT HAPPENED 32:03 TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DAYS - LITERAL DAYS - 32:06 AFTER THE PROPHECY AND SO YOU'VE GOT TO APPLY THE YEAR PRINCIPLE 32:10 TO UNDERSTAND. ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD, READ FOR US 32:15 >>EXODUS 29, VERSES 38 AND 39, "NOW THIS IS WHAT YOU SHALL 32:20 OFFER ON THE ALTAR: TWO LAMBS OF THE FIRST YEAR, DAY BY DAY 32:25 CONTINUALLY. ONE LAMB YOU SHALL OFFER IN THE 32:28 MORNING, AND THE OTHER LAMB YOU SHALL OFFER AT TWILIGHT." 32:32 >>ALRIGHT, THANK YOU. 32:34 ON A DAILY BASIS WERE THERE OFFERINGS MADE FOR SIN? 32:39 AT ITS VERY RUDIMENTARY FOUNDATIONAL LEVEL, THE DAILY 32:44 THAT IS UNDER ATTACK IS THE OFFERING OF THE LAMB FOR THE 32:47 SINS OF THE PEOPLE. IT IS THE GOSPEL. 32:50 IT IS THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL. IT IS SALVATION BY FAITH IN THE 32:53 BLOOD OF THE LAMB THAT IS UNDER ATTACK. 32:55 AND ALL COUNTERFEIT RELIGIONS, INCLUDING THIS LITTLE HORN 32:59 POWER, THEY LAUNCHED AN ATTACK ON SALVATION BY FAITH AND 33:05 RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH. THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS WHEN IT 33:08 SAYS THEY'RE ATTACKING THE DAILY - IT'S THE DAILY SACRIFICE. 33:11 LIKE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL OFFERED THAT LAMB AND THEN THEY 33:13 STARTED THEIR JOURNEY TO THE PROMISED LAND. 33:14 IT BEGAN WITH THE SACRIFICE OF A LAMB. 33:17 THE SANCTUARY WAS ALL BUILT AROUND A SACRIFICE. 33:20 THE FIRST THING YOU SAW WHEN YOU WENT THROUGH THE DOOR WAS AN 33:22 ALTAR. FOR WHAT? FOR A SACRIFICE. 33:25 BECAUSE 'WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD THERE'S NO FORGIVENESS.' 33:27 THIS LITTLE HORN POWER - THIS ROMAN POWER LAUNCHED ITSELF 33:32 AGAINST THE FREEDOM OF THE GOSPEL. 33:34 FOR ONE THING, THE COMMUNION SERVICE, INSTEAD OF IT BEING A 33:40 SIMPLE REPRESENTATION TO REMIND THEM OF THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS 33:44 GIVING HIS BODY AND HIS BLOOD - SYMBOLIZED BY UNLEAVENED BREAD 33:49 AND UNFERMENTED GRAPE JUICE - IT WAS UNFERMENTED GRAPE JUICE. 33:52 JESUS SAID RIGHT THERE AT THE LAST SUPPER, 'I WILL NOT DRINK 33:55 IT AGAIN UNTIL I DO IT WITH YOU NEW IN THE FATHER'S KINGDOM.' 33:58 NEW WINE, OKAY? THEY BEGAN TO USE OTHER KINDS OF 34:02 BREAD AND FERMENTED GRAPE JUICE AND INSTEAD OF THE PEOPLE 34:05 PARTICIPATING, ONLY THE PRIESTS PARTICIPATED IN DRINKING IT. 34:09 SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES A DAY - FERMENTED - SO IT'S CORRUPTING 34:13 THE VERY SYMBOL OF THE PURE BLOOD OF CHRIST. 34:16 AND THEN THEY BROUGHT IN SOMETHING CALLED 34:18 TRANSUBSTANTIATION, MEANING THAT THE PRIEST DECLARED THROUGH - 34:22 YOU KNOW WHERE YOU GET THE WORDS 'HOCUS POCUS'? 34:25 IT COMES FROM THE RITUAL THAT THE PRIESTS WOULD DECLARE THESE 34:28 LATIN WORDS OVER THE EMBLEMS AND HE SAID HE HAD TRANSFORMED THAT 34:32 BREAD AND THAT GRAPE JUICE INTO THE LITERAL BODY OF JESUS AND 34:37 JESUS' LITERAL BLOOD. AND THIS WAS A BIG BATTLE DURING 34:42 THE WHOLE PROTESTANT REFORMATION. 34:43 THEY SAID, 'NO, MAN CANNOT CREATE GOD.' IT IS A SYMBOL. 34:48 JESUS OBVIOUSLY TAUGHT IT WAS A SYMBOL BECAUSE THE FIRST LORD'S 34:51 SUPPER JESUS IS SITTING THERE - THEY'RE LOOKING AT HIM WITH HIS 34:54 BODY INTACT AND HIS BLOOD STILL IN HIS VEINS. 34:56 HE SAID, 'THIS IS MY BLOOD AND THIS IS MY BODY.' 34:58 THEY KNEW IT WAS A SYMBOL, RIGHT? 35:01 AND - BUT THEY BEGAN TO SAY - THE PRIESTS NOW - 'IF YOU WANT 35:04 FORGIVENESS YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT THROUGH THE PRIESTHOOD. 35:06 YOU WANT FORGIVENESS YOU HAVE TO ASK THE PRIEST. 35:07 CONFESS YOUR SINS TO THE PRIESTS. 35:09 AND YOU'VE GOT TO DO THESE PRAYERS AND DO THESE WORKS. 35:12 AND THE WHOLE GOSPEL - THE WHOLE TRUTH WAS CORRUPTED. 35:17 'HE WILL CAST THE TRUTH TO THE GROUND AND PRACTICE AND 35:21 PROSPER.' BEGAN TO SAY, 'YOU DON'T DIE AND 35:23 SLEEP IN THE GRAVE UNTIL THE RESURRECTION, YOU GO RIGHT TO 35:26 HEAVEN OR HELL OR PURGATORY WHERE YOU BURN FOREVER AND EVER 35:30 BEFORE THE JUDGMENT - BEFORE THE RESURRECTION. 35:34 AND THE PRIESTS HAVE THE POWER, THROUGH YOUR PRAYERS AND YOUR 35:37 OFFERINGS - 'WE CAN TAKE A PERSON OUT OF PURGATORY AND WE 35:41 CAN BYPASS EVERYTHING AND JUST SEND THEM TO HEAVEN.' 35:44 AND 'YOU CAN PRAY FOR PEOPLE AFTER THEY'RE DEAD.' 35:46 AND 'YOU CAN, BY YOUR WORKS, DETERMINE THEIR SALVATION.' 35:50 'IT IS APPOINTED UNTO MAN ONCE TO DIE. 35:52 AFTER THAT, THE JUDGMENT.' AND BAPTISM, INSTEAD OF IT BEING 35:55 IMMERSION, IT TURNED INTO SPRINKLING. 35:58 AND I COULD JUST GO DOWN A LITANY OF THINGS THAT CHANGED. 36:04 INSTEAD OF GOD'S TEN COMMANDMENTS, 36:05 THEY WERE ADJUSTED. THE COMMANDMENT ABOUT IDOLATRY 36:08 WAS TAKEN OUT AND IT WAS SUBSTITUTED - THEY SPLIT THE 36:12 TENTH COMMANDMENT ABOUT COVETOUSNESS AND THEY MADE IT 36:14 TWO DIFFERENT COMMANDMENTS: DON'T COVET YOUR NEIGHBOR'S WIFE 36:17 AND YOUR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE AND THEN HIS THINGS. 36:20 SO THEY SPLIT THAT AND YOU CAN GO LOOK AT - I CAN THINK OF TWO 36:26 OR THREE CATHOLIC CHURCHES RIGHT HERE IN TOWN - I TOOK PICTURES 36:28 OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS THEY'VE GOT OUTSIDE AND THEY CHANGED 36:30 THEM. 'HE WILL THINK TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS.' 36:33 DANIEL SAYS, IN CHAPTER 7, VERSE 25, ABOUT THE LITTLE HORN POWER, 36:37 THIS IS A POWER THAT WILL THINK TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS. 36:40 THERE'S ONLY ONE OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS THAT IS BOTH A TIME 36:43 AND A LAW. WHICH ONE? SABBATH COMMANDMENT. 36:47 'HE CASTS THE TRUTH TO THE GROUND AND HE PRACTICED AND 36:49 PROSPERED.' AND DANIEL'S GOING, 'HOW LONG, LORD? 36:52 HOW LONG IS YOUR TRUTH GOING TO BE OBSCURED? 36:55 HOW LONG UNTIL YOUR PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO PROCLAIM IT IN FREEDOM 36:59 AGAIN?' MATTER OF FACT YOU'VE GOT - 37:01 SOMEONE LOOK UP FOR ME 1 KINGS 18:21. DID I GIVE THAT OUT? 37:07 RIGHT HERE? LET'S GET YOU A MICROPHONE. 37:10 1 KINGS 18:21 AND WHILE WE'RE SETTING UP FOR THAT I'M GOING TO 37:15 READ PSALM 94. WHERE DOES DANIEL'S QUESTION 37:19 COME FROM WHEN HE SAYS TO THE ANGEL, 'HOW LONG?' 37:21 YOU CAN READ IN PSALM 94, VERSE 3, "LORD, HOW LONG WILL THE 37:27 WICKED, HOW LONG WILL THE WICKED TRIUMPH? 37:31 THEY UTTER SPEECH, AND SPEAK INSOLENT THINGS; ALL THE WORKERS 37:35 OF INIQUITY BOAST IN THEMSELVES." 37:37 THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT'S DESCRIBED THERE THAT THE LITTLE HORN POWER 37:41 WOULD BE DOING. AND SO WHEN HE SAYS, 'HOW LONG?' IT MEANS 37:43 HOW LONG WILL IT APPEAR THAT GOD'S TRUTH IS SUPPRESSED. 37:48 I THINK WE'RE READY. GO AHEAD. 37:50 YOU'RE GOING TO READ 1 KINGS FOR US - 18:21? 37:53 >>RIGHT. 1 KINGS 18:21, "AND ELIJAH CAME TO ALL THE PEOPLE, 37:57 AND SAID, 'HOW LONG WILL YOU FALTER BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS? 38:01 IF THE LORD IS GOD, FOLLOW HIM; BUT IF BAAL, FOLLOW HIM.' 38:07 BUT THE PEOPLE ANSWERED HIM NOT A WORD." 38:10 >>THAT SHOWDOWN OF THE FIRST ELIJAH, WHEN THEY STARTING 38:13 GETTING INTO BAAL WORSHIP IS AN ALLEGORY OF WHAT HAPPENED DURING 38:17 THE DARK AGES - WHEN PEOPLE GOT INTO BABYLONIAN WORSHIP - IT WAS 38:20 THE SAME THING. THE CHURCH WAS CORRUPTED DURING 38:24 THE DAYS OF ELIJAH. THE KING, AHAB, MARRIED A PAGAN 38:29 QUEEN, JEZEBEL. WHAT'S A WOMAN REPRESENT? 38:32 YOU'VE GOT A PAGAN QUEEN AND SHE PERSECUTED THE PROPHETS AND 38:36 THERE WAS A FAMINE FOR ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY 38:39 DAYS WHEN JEZEBEL WAS QUEEN. DURING THE DARK AGES YOU'VE GOT 38:43 THIS WOMAN IN REVELATION 17, DRUNK WITH THE BLOOD OF THE 38:46 PROPHETS FOR ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY DAYS. 38:50 THE CHURCH HAS TO RUN INTO THE WILDERNESS WHERE GOD FEEDS HER. 38:52 ELIJAH HAD TO GO INTO THE WILDERNESS WHERE GOD FED HIM, 38:54 RIGHT? IT'S AN ALLEGORY FOR WHAT 38:56 HAPPENED HISTORICALLY. IT'S A PERFECT ALLEGORY. 39:00 AND SO, DANIEL'S SAYING, 'HOW LONG WILL THIS PERSECUTION GO ON 39:05 UNTIL YOUR PEOPLE ARE ONCE AGAIN FREE, WITH THE TRUTH IN HAND, TO 39:10 BE SPIRITUAL ISRAEL AND SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD?' 39:13 'UNTO TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DAYS, THEN THE SANCTUARY WILL BE 39:16 CLEANSED.' ALRIGHT, SO WE NEED TO LOOK AT 39:18 WHAT IS THE STARTING POINT FOR THIS PROPHECY? 39:20 IF YOU GO TO THE END OF DANIEL CHAPTER 8, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT 39:25 DANIEL, VERSE 27, HE HEARS THIS TERRIBLE PERSECUTION THAT THE 39:30 LITTLE HORN POWER BRINGS TO GOD'S PEOPLE AND IT BREAKS HIS 39:33 HEART. HE'S ALREADY SEEN WHAT THEY WENT 39:34 THROUGH IN BABYLON FOR 70 YEARS AND HE'S AN OLD MAN WHEN HE HAS 39:38 THIS PROPHECY. IT'S MORE THAN HE CAN HANDLE. 39:41 "AND I, DANIEL, FAINTED AND WAS SICK FOR DAYS; AFTERWARD I AROSE 39:46 AND WENT ABOUT THE KING'S BUSINESS. 39:48 I WAS ASTONISHED BY THE VISION, BUT NO ONE UNDERSTOOD IT." 39:52 HE MAY HAVE SHARED IT WITH, WHO KNOWS, SHADRACH, MESHACH OR 39:55 ABEDNEGO COULD HAVE STILL BEEN ALIVE AND HE RELATED IT TO THEM 39:57 OR OTHERS THAT HE TRUSTED AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANT. 40:01 IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT MEANS YOU TURN THE PAGE. 40:04 DANIEL CHAPTER 9 - DANIEL IS PRAYING, THE ANGEL COMES BACK TO 40:08 HIM AND HE RETURNS TO COMPLETE THE VISION HE STARTED IN CHAPTER 40:12 8 BUT HE COULDN'T COMPLETE BECAUSE DANIEL PHYSICALLY PASSED 40:16 OUT. HE COULDN'T TAKE IT. 40:18 ANGEL GABRIEL COMES - GO TO VERSE 24 - DANIEL 9, VERSE 24. 40:24 BY THE WAY, THE ANGEL COMES AND HE SAYS, 'I HAVE COME TO GIVE 40:28 YOU UNDERSTANDING BECAUSE YOU'RE GREATLY BELOVED. 40:31 VERSE 24, "SEVENTY WEEKS ARE DETERMINED FOR YOUR PEOPLE AND 40:35 FOR YOUR HOLY CITY, TO FINISH THE TRANSGRESSION, TO MAKE AN 40:38 END OF SINS, TO MAKE RECONCILIATION FOR INIQUITY, TO 40:42 BRING IN EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS, TO SEAL UP VISION 40:44 AND PROPHECY, AND TO ANOINT THE MOST HOLY." 40:47 THAT WAS THE CHERRY ON THE SCRIPTURE FOR DANIEL. 40:51 THEY'D ALL BEEN WAITING FOR THE MESSIAH. 40:53 THE BIG CRY OF THEIR HEART WAS 'WHEN WILL THE SON OF DAVID' - 40:55 THE MESSIAH - 'COME AND SAVE US FROM OUR ENEMIES?' 41:03 SO HE'S TSEVENTY WEEKS. IF A DAY IS A YEAR IN PROPHECY, 41:06 HOW LONG IS 70 WEEKS? THERE'S 490 DAYS IN SEVENTY 41:12 WEEKS - 490 YEARS. SO WHY DON'T YOU PUT THE CHART 41:16 UP ON THE SCREEN? SO YOU SEE IN THE MIDDLE OF 41:19 THAT GRAPH THERE'S A 490-YEAR PROPHECY. 41:23 THE WHOLE GRAPH COVERS THE TWENTY THREE HUNDRED YEARS. 41:25 WHAT IS THE STARTING POINT OF THIS? 41:28 VERSE 25 - DANIEL 9:25, "KNOW THEREFORE AND UNDERSTAND," - 41:33 MAKE IT CLEAR, SIT UP, PAY ATTENTION DANIEL - "THAT FROM 41:36 THE GOING FORTH OF THE COMMAND TO RESTORE AND BUILD JERUSALEM 41:40 UNTIL MESSIAH THE PRINCE," - SO HE'S TELLING US THE STARTING 41:44 POINT FOR THIS FIRST PART OF THE PROPHECY - 490 YEARS - "GOING 41:49 FORTH OF THE COMMAND TO RESTORE AND BUILD JERUSALEM." 41:52 YOU KNOW, THAT CAN GET A LITTLE MESSY SOMETIMES BECAUSE YOU LOOK 41:54 AT HISTORY AND SEVERAL KINGS GAVE DIFFERENT COMMANDS ALLOWING 41:58 THE JEWS TO REBUILD AND DIFFERENT DECREES AND YOU SAY, 42:01 'WELL, WHICH COMMAND IS IT?' GOD MADE IT EASY FOR US. 42:04 HE PUT THE COMMAND IN THE BIBLE. IT'S IN EZRA CHAPTER 7 - 42:07 IT'S THE COMMAND OF ARTEXERXES THAT WAS GIVEN IN 457 B.C. 42:12 SO THE VERY FACT THAT EZRA SAID, 'THIS IS THE COMMAND.' 42:15 ARTEXERXES - WE KNOW WHICH COMMAND IT IS AND IT WAS THE 42:19 FINAL OR THE FULLEST AND MOST COMPLETE OF THE COMMANDS. 42:22 VERY CLEAR DATE IN HISTORY - 457 B.C. 42:26 SO YOU'VE GOT THAT ON THE CHART THAT JUST DISAPPEARED. 42:29 THERE YOU GO. SO THAT'S THE STARTING POINT FOR 42:32 BOTH THE 490-YEAR PROPHECY - THE 70-WEEK PROPHECY, SAME THING - 42:36 AND THE 2300-DAY OR YEAR PROPHECY. 42:40 THERE'S ONLY ONE STARTING POINT AND IT'S GOT TO BE THE SAME. 42:43 AND THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE. IF YOU'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A 42:46 PROPHECY FOR CLEANSING OF THE SANCTUARY, AND YOU'RE A JEW, 42:50 YOU'RE GOING, 'HOW COULD YOU START THAT PROPHECY BEFORE WE 42:53 EVEN HAVE A SANCTUARY?' THEY HAD NO SANCTUARY. 42:55 SO THEY NEEDED TO HAVE IT REBUILT AND THAT WOULD GIVE THEM 42:57 A LAUNCHING POINT. BUT PARTWAY THROUGH THIS 43:01 PROPHECY IT WENT FROM THEIR PHYSICAL SANCTUARY TO THE 43:05 HEAVENLY SANCTUARY AND THE SPIRITUAL SANCTUARY ON EARTH. 43:10 THEY WERE DOING DAYS OF ATONEMENT FROM THE TIME THEY 43:13 REBUILT THE TEMPLE WHEN THEY CAME BACK FROM THEIR CAPTIVITY. 43:16 BUT WHEN JESUS CAME, HE WALKED OUT OF THE SANCTUARY THE LAST 43:20 TIME, WHEN THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS REJECTED THE TRUTH - HE SAID, 43:23 'YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATE.' 43:26 AND WHEN HE DIED ON THE CROSS WHAT HAPPENED? 43:31 A VEIL WAS RENT IN THE SANCTUARY, SYMBOLIZING SOMETHING 43:34 WAS GOING TO BE TRANSITIONING. 43:37 GOD WAS GOING TO GIVE THEM A FEW MORE YEARS BUT JESUS PREACHED IN 43:41 PERSON TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE THREE AND A HALF YEARS, RIGHT? 43:45 SO THAT REPRESENTS - IT TELLS US - WELL, I BETTER BACK UP HERE. 43:50 FROM THE GOING FORTH OF THE COMMAND, UNTO MESSIAH THE 43:53 PRINCE' IT BEGINS TELLING US ABOUT 483 WEEKS - YEARS - 43:58 69 WEEKS - 483 YEARS. THERE'S A LAST WEEK THAT GOD 44:03 KIND OF BREAKS UP AND EXPLAINS. LET ME READ THIS TO YOU. 44:06 "AND AFTER THE SIXTY-TWO WEEKS MESSIAH SHALL BE CUT OFF, BUT 44:09 NOT FOR HIMSELF;" - WHO WAS THE MESSIAH CUT OFF FOR? FOR US. - 44:15 "AND THE PEOPLE OF THE PRINCE WHO IS TO COME SHALL DESTROY THE 44:18 CITY AND THE SANCTUARY." THE PRINCE WHO WAS TO COME - 44:21 YOU'VE GOT A BATTLE OF TWO PRINCES. 44:22 YOU'VE GOT THE LITTLE HORN PRINCE - THE ROMAN POWER. 44:24 YOU'VE GOT JESUS THE PRINCE OF THE HOST - THE SON OF DAVID. 44:27 THE ROMAN POWER CAME LATER AND DESTROYED THE SANCTUARY. 44:31 NOW IT'S GOING BACK TO THE MESSIAH - VERSE 27, "THEN HE 44:35 SHALL CONFIRM THE COVENANT WITH MANY FOR ONE WEEK;" - 44:39 WHAT IS A DAY IN PROPHECY? IT'S A YEAR. 44:42 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK HE'LL BRING AN END TO THE SACRIFICE." 44:46 ALRIGHT, FROM 457 UNTO THE MESSIAH BEING ANOINTED, IT TELLS 44:50 US THERE WOULD BE 483 YEARS. JESUS WAS BAPTIZED IN A.D. 27. 44:56 THE BIBLE SAYS HE WAS ANOINTED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HE WENT 44:59 ABOUT DOING GOOD. THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME DOWN LIKE A 45:01 DOVE, HE BEGAN HIS EARTHLY MINISTRY, HE THEN TAUGHT FOR 45:05 THREE AND A HALF YEARS. AFTER THREE AND A HALF YEARS - 45:08 WHAT'S HALF OF SEVEN? THREE AND A HALF. 45:11 'IN THE MIDST OF THE WEEK' - IN THE MIDST OF THAT LAST SEVEN 45:14 YEARS 'HE WILL CAUSE THE SACRIFICE TO CEASE.' 45:18 JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS IN THE MIDST OF THAT LAST SEVEN YEARS. 45:22 THE TEMPLE VEIL WAS RIPPED. NO LONGER A NEED FOR LAMB 45:28 SACRIFICES AND GOATS AND BLOOD OF OXEN - IT WAS NOW THE BLOOD 45:32 OF JESUS. HE MADE THAT WHOLE SACRIFICIAL 45:35 SYSTEM NO LONGER NECESSARY. JESUS IS NOW OUR PASSOVER, AMEN? 45:40 SO HE CAUSED IT TO CEASE RIGHT ON SCHEDULE - BAPTIZED 27 A.D., 45:44 THREE AND A HALF YEARS LATER - 31 A.D. 45:46 HE DIES ON THE CROSS, SAYS 'IT IS FINISHED' - AMONG THE THINGS 45:49 THAT WERE FINISHED WAS THE SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM. 45:51 BUT THERE'S STILL ANOTHER THREE AND A HALF YEARS. 45:54 IT SAYS HE'LL CONFIRM THE COVENANT FOR ONE WEEK. 45:57 HOW DO WE EXPLAIN THAT? IF YOU LOOK IN YOUR BIBLE IN THE 46:01 BOOK OF HEBREWS CHAPTER 2, VERSE 3 - THIS IS A POWERFUL VERSE. 46:11 HEBREWS 2, VERSE 3, "HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE IF WE NEGLECT SO GREAT 46:16 A SALVATION, WHICH AT THE FIRST" - FIRST THREE AND A HALF YEARS - 46:20 "BEGAN TO BE SPOKEN BY THE LORD, AND WAS CONFIRMED" - HE WILL 46:26 CONFIRM THE COVENANT - PARDON ME - HE WILL CONFIRM THE COVENANT 46:31 WITH MANY FOR ONE WEEK. IT WAS CONFIRMED BY THEM THAT 46:36 HEARD HIM. WHO? THE APOSTLES. 46:39 SO THREE AND A HALF YEARS IN PERSON JESUS CONFIRMED THE 46:42 COVENANT THEN LATER IT WAS CONFIRMED FOR ANOTHER THREE AND 46:45 A HALF YEARS THROUGH THE APOSTLES - THOSE THAT HEARD HIM. 46:48 JESUS SAID, 'AS THE FATHER SENT ME, NOW SO I SEND YOU.' 46:52 WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS POURED OUT AT PENTECOST, JESUS TOLD THE 46:54 APOSTLES, 'DO NOT GO IN THE WAY OF THE GENTILES' - NOT YET - 46:58 'GO, RATHER, TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. 47:01 BEGIN IN JERUSALEM THEN GO TO JUDEA, THEN SAMARIA, THEN THE 47:06 UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE EARTH.' WHEN DID THEY START GOING TO THE 47:09 UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE EARTH? WHEN STEPHEN WAS STONED IN 34 47:13 A.D., THE JEWISH LEADERS, CALLED THE SANHEDRIN - THE SUPREME 47:17 COURT - REPRESENTING THE NATION - THEY HEARD THE MOST POWERFUL 47:21 SPIRIT-FILLED PRESENTATION OF THE GOSPEL AND THEIR WHOLE 47:23 HISTORY WAS TRACED BY STEPHEN, BRINGING THEM TO JESUS. 47:26 HE DID A MASTERFUL, INCREDIBLE JOB OF TRACING THEM RIGHT DOWN 47:30 AND SAYING, 'YOU KILLED YOUR MESSIAH BUT THERE'S STILL HOPE. 47:33 YOU CAN ACCEPT HIM.' AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID? 47:37 THEY PUT THEIR FINGERS IN THEIR EARS. 47:39 WHAT DOES IT, SORT OF, DEMONSTRATE WHEN YOU TALK TO THE 47:41 JUDGES AND THEY PUT THEIR FINGERS IN THEIR EARS? 47:44 AND IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH, THEY TOOK HIM OUT AND THEY DID 47:46 EXACTLY WITH HIM WHAT THEY DID TO JESUS. THEY LAID DOWN THEIR 47:51 CLOTHES AT THE FEET OF SOMEONE NAMED SAUL - WERE THERE CLOTHES 47:54 AT THE CROSS OF CHRIST THAT WERE TAKEN AND LAYED DOWN? 47:58 THEY EXECUTED HIM OUTSIDE THE CITY - KANGAROO COURT - HE ASKED 48:04 FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF THOSE THAT WERE KILLING HIM - AS JESUS 48:07 SAID, 'FATHER FORGIVE THEM' STEPHEN PARALLELS THE SAME THING 48:10 JESUS DID THREE AND A HALF YEARS EARLIER. 48:12 THAT REPRESENTED THE END OF THE 490-YEAR PROPHECY. 48:16 SEE THAT THERE? 34 A.D. YOU CAN CHECK IT - MANY BIBLES 48:18 EVEN HAVE THAT DATE IF YOU'VE GOT DATES IN YOUR BIBLES. 48:21 BUT WAIT, WE'VE EXPLAINED THE 490-YEAR PROPHECY - JESUS IS THE 48:26 ONE WHO CONFIRMED THE COVENANT WITH MANY FOR ONE WEEK - 48:29 BOY I'VE GOT SO MUCH TO SAY. 48:31 YOU KNOW, THIS IS IMPORTANT YOU UNDERSTAND THIS BECAUSE A LOT OF 48:34 MY EVANGELICAL FRIENDS, THEY THINK THE ONE WHO CONFIRMS THE 48:39 COVENANT FOR ONE WEEK IS THE ANTICHRIST. 48:43 NOW PEOPLE SOMETIMES MAKE MISTAKES IN THE BIBLE, BUT IF 48:45 YOU GET JESUS AND THE ANTICHRIST MIXED UP, THAT'S PRETTY SERIOUS. 48:49 YOU CANNOT SHOW ME ANYWHERE IN THE BIBLE WHERE THE ANTICHRIST 48:51 MAKES A COVENANT WITH ANYBODY THAT NEEDS CONFIRMATION. 48:55 JESUS MADE A COVENANT TO SAVE HIS PEOPLE - YOU'VE GOT THE NEW 48:59 COVENANT AND THE OLD COVENANT. THE NEW TESTAMENT, 49:01 THE OLD TESTAMENT. ANTICHRIST DOESN'T MAKE 49:02 A COVENANT. AND SO, THEY SAY THE 'HE' IN 49:06 DANIEL CHAPTER 9, THAT CONFIRMS THE COVENANT, THEY CONTINUE 49:09 TALKING ABOUT THE ONE WHO DESTROYED THE TEMPLE. 49:11 THEY GET THEM MIXED UP. IT'S RETURNING TO THE SUBJECT OF 49:14 THE CHAPTER, WHICH IS THE MESSIAH - CONFIRMS THE COVENANT. 49:17 ANTICHRIST DOESN'T MAKE THE COVENANT CEASE IN THE MIDST OF 49:20 THE WEEK, JESUS DID. THREE AND A HALF YEARS LATER HE 49:23 CAUSED THE SACRIFICE TO CEASE. IT'S A TERRIBLE 49:26 MISUNDERSTANDING. THE DEVIL LOVES SPINNING THINGS 49:28 AROUND, RIGHT? HE JUST GETS PEOPLE - THE DEVIL 49:31 MIXED UP THE FIRST COMING AND THE SECOND COMING. 49:35 BACK WHEN JESUS CAME THE FIRST TIME GOD'S PEOPLE THOUGHT, 'HE'S 49:38 COMING WITH A TRUMPET AND HE'S GOING TO DESTROY OUR ENEMIES'. 49:41 ONE OF THE COMINGS OF JESUS WAS GOING TO BE LIKE A LION AND ONE 49:45 WAS GOING TO BE LIKE A LAMB AND THE DEVIL GOT THE CHURCH WHERE 49:48 THEY GOT THE LION AND THE LAMB MIXED UP. 49:50 THEY THOUGHT HE WAS COMING LIKE A LION THE FIRST TIME AND HE'S 49:52 COMING SECRETLY THE SECOND TIME. IT'S THE OPPOSITE. 49:56 HE'S COMING THE SECOND TIME LIKE A LION. 49:58 HE CAME THE FIRST TIME MEEKLY - LIKE A LAMB. BUT THE DEVIL, 50:01 HE REVERSES IT AND HE DID IT HERE. HE'S GETTING THE MESSIAH 50:05 AND THE ANTICHRIST MIXED UP. IT'S TERRIBLE. 50:08 THAT'S WHY IT SAYS - THIS ANTICHRIST POWER - 50:10 CASTS THE TRUTH TO THE GROUND. NOW, HOW WAS THE SANCTUARY 50:16 CLEANSED? YOU GO FROM 457 B.C. 50:19 TO 1844 - THAT'S WHERE IT ENDS. WHAT HAPPENED - 1844? 50:25 WHAT HAPPENED IN 1844? I WOULD THINK THAT GOD WOULD 50:28 PICK A DATE LIKE 1800 - 1850 - OR AT LEAST PICK AN EVEN DECADE. 50:34 GET SOMETHING CLEAR IN YOUR MIND: GOD DOES NOT USE ROMAN 50:37 NUMBERS. JESUS WAS NOT BORN IN THE YEAR 50:39 ZERO, HE WAS BORN ABOUT 4 B.C. - SO THE WHOLE DATING - EVERYONE 50:43 THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, THE WORLD WAS GOING TO END IN THE YEAR 2000. 50:46 DON'T USE YOUR CALENDAR, THAT HAS REALLY BEEN ESTABLISHED BY 50:50 THE ROMANS, TO TRY AND DATE THINGS. 50:54 1844 WAS A VERY INTERESTING, PIVOTAL TIME IN HISTORY. 50:59 A LOT WAS HAPPENING. I'VE GOT A LITTLE - I'VE GOT TO 51:02 POST THIS WITH MY NOTES, IF YOU WANT IT - I JUST ASSEMBLED A 51:05 LITTLE LIST OF SOME OF THE THINGS HAPPENING IN 1844. 51:09 FIRST ELECTRONIC MESSAGE EVER SENT - BEGINNING OF COMPUTER 51:14 E-MAIL, 1844 - SAMUEL MORSE SENT AN ELECTRONIC MESSAGE CALLED 51:20 MORSE CODE. AND YOU KNOW WHAT HIS MESSAGE WAS? 51:23 HE SENT THE MESSAGE FROM WASHINGTON D.C. TO BALTIMORE - 51:26 THAT'S INTERESTING TOO - AND IT SAID, 'WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT?' 51:31 TEXAS BECOMES A U.S. TERRITORY. 51:34 SPAIN GRANTS THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC INDEPENDENCE. 51:37 ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANA - REMEMBER THE ALAMO? - HE RESIGNS 51:41 AS PRESIDENT OF MEXICO. THE FIRST DIPLOMATIC AGREEMENT 51:45 BETWEEN CHINA AND THE UNITED STATES IN HISTORY IS SIGNED. 51:49 FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE IS BORN - FAMOUS GERMAN 51:51 PHILOSOPHER WHO TAUGHT THE DEATH OF GOD. 51:52 SO YOU'VE GOT BIRTH OF SOMEONE WHO TEACHES ATHEISM. 51:57 NOW THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT MATTER - A LOT OF WHAT I SHARED 51:58 WAS TRIVIA - CHARLES DARWIN BEGINS HIS MANUSCRIPT ON NATURAL 52:04 SELECTION IN 1844 WHILE SAILING AROUND THE WORLD ON THE 52:07 HMS BEAGLE. IT'S THE BIRTH OF EVOLUTION. 52:10 KARL MARX WRITES HIS ECONOMIC AND PHILOSOPHICAL MANUSCRIPTS 52:14 THAT FORM THE FOUNDATION FOR HIS COMMUNIST MANIFESTO AND 52:17 COMMUNISM. ATHEISM, COMMUNISM AND EVOLUTION 52:25 - AND IT WAS A LEAP YEAR, IF THAT MEANS ANYTHING. 52:29 IT WAS THE END OF THE LAST - OF THE SIXTH AGE OF THE CHURCH AND 52:34 THE BEGINNING OF THE AGE OF LAODICEA - JUDGING OF GOD'S 52:37 PEOPLE. AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED 52:38 IN 1844: CHRISTIANS ALL AROUND THE WORLD THOUGHT JESUS WAS 52:44 ABOUT WHAT THE SANCTUARY MEANT. DID GOD'S PEOPLE MISUNDERSTAND 52:49 THE PROPHECIES ABOUT HIS FIRST COMING? THEY DID. 52:54 AND THEY WERE SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED. GOD'S PEOPLE, 52:57 NEARING THE END, MISUNDERSTOOD THE PROPHECIES ABOUT HIS SECOND 53:00 COMING AND THE MESSAGE - IT WAS CALLED THE MILLERITE MOVEMENT. 53:04 NO, THEY WERE NOT SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS - THERE WERE NO 53:05 SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS UNTIL 1863, FORMALLY - ORGANIZED AS A 53:09 CHURCH - THEY WERE LARGELY BAPTISTS AND METHODISTS, BUT 53:13 THEY WERE CALLED 'MILLERITES'. THEY CALLED THEMSELVES 53:15 ADVENTISTS BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED IN THE IMMINENT ADVENT OF JESUS. 53:18 ANYONE WHO BELIEVES IN THE SECOND COMING IS AN ADVENTIST, 53:21 TECHNICALLY, IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE LITERAL ADVENT OF JESUS. 53:24 ALL AROUND THE WORLD THEY STUDIED THE PROPHECIES OF 53:28 DANIEL. THEY THOUGHT THE SANCTUARY WAS 53:29 THE EARTH THAT WOULD BE CLEANSED FROM FIRE. 53:32 THEY HADN'T STUDIED THE SANCTUARY. 53:34 THEY JUST ASSUMED JESUS WAS COMING IN 1844 AND JESUS DIDN'T 53:37 COME. IT WAS CALLED 'THE GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT' AND THEY WERE 53:40 DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED - HEARTBROKEN. 53:42 THEY WERE LIVING HOLY, GODLY LIVES - THEY REALLY BELIEVED 53:45 JESUS WAS COMING. WHAT HAPPENED THEN? 53:49 IN THAT YEAR, 1844, FROM THE FRAGMENTS OF PEOPLE WHO WERE 53:54 BROKENHEARTED BY MISUNDERSTANDING - WERE THE 53:56 DISCIPLES BROKENHEARTED? JESUS SAID, 'WHAT IS THIS SAD 54:00 COMMUNICATION YOU HAVE WITH ONE ANOTHER?' FROM THEIR DEVASTATION 54:06 THEY SUDDENLY DISCOVERED, IN STUDYING THE BIBLE, THEY'D BEEN 54:09 WRONG NOT ONLY ABOUT THE SANCTUARY, THEY'D 54:10 BEEN WRONG ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS. 54:12 IN THE YEAR 1844 THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE FROM ALL DIFFERENT 54:16 CHRISTIAN BACKGROUNDS CAME TOGETHER AND THEY LEARNED THE 54:19 TRUTH ABOUT THE SABBATH. THEY LEARNED THE TRUTH ABOUT THE 54:22 SANCTUARY. THEY LEARNED THE TRUTH ABOUT 54:24 YOUR BODY BEING THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 54:26 THEY LEARNED THE TRUTH ABOUT THE STATE OF THE DEAD. 54:29 NOW THEY DIDN'T ALL EMBRACE IT ALL AT ONCE, BUT THESE THINGS 54:31 ALL CAME TOGETHER AT ONE TIME. THEY LEARNED ABOUT BAPTISM BY 54:35 IMMERSION AND SALVATION BY FAITH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH. 54:39 ALL THESE COMPONENTS OF THE TRUTH THAT HAD BEEN CAST TO THE 54:42 GROUND WERE RESTORED. IN 1844 GOD NOT ONLY ENTERED HIS 54:48 - JESUS ENTERED HIS FINAL WORK AS OUR HIGH PRIEST IN HEAVEN. 54:51 IT'S HARD TO TAKE PICTURES OF THAT AND SHOW PEOPLE, BUT YOU 54:54 CAN SHOW WHAT HAPPENED HERE ON EARTH. 54:57 A MOVEMENT BEGAN THAT TURNED INTO ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING 55:01 PROTESTANT GROUPS IN THE WORLD IN 1844, WITH HOSPITALS AND 55:06 PUBLISHING HOUSES AND PEOPLE SPREADING AND GROWING ALL AROUND 55:10 THE WORLD. GOD BEGAN TO CLEANSE HIS 55:12 SANCTUARY ON EARTH FROM THE DEFILING DOCTRINES OF THE DARK 55:16 AGES AND HE IS CLEANSING HIS SANCTUARY IN HEAVEN. 55:19 HE IS NOT DONE DOWN HERE CLEANSING. 55:21 HE IS NOT DONE UP THERE CLEANSING. 55:23 WHEN HE IS DONE, HE'S COMING BACK. HE'LL STAND UP. 55:26 THE QUESTION IS: ARE YOU LETTING HIM CLEANSE YOU? 55:29 SO, WE'VE RUN OUT OF TIME. I HOPE I COVERED THE BIG PIECES 55:34 OF THE ESCHATOLOGICAL DAY OF ATONEMENT AND DON'T FORGET, WE 55:39 DO HAVE A FREE OFFER AND THE OFFER IS CALLED 55:42 'CLEANSING THE TEMPLE'. A LOT OF THE MATERIAL I SHARED 55:44 WITH YOU IS IN HERE AND JUST ASK FOR OFFER #803 - 55:48 WE'LL SEND IT TO YOU. PLEASE STUDY IT IF YOU DO. 55:50 CALL 866-STUDY-MORE. THAT'S 866-788-3966 AND I LOOK 55:57 FORWARD TO STUDYING GOD'S WORD WITH YOU AGAIN NEXT WEEK. 56:02 >>IN 3 - 2 - 1 - ACTION. (MUSIC) 56:15 >>THIS DOCUMENTARY COVERS A SPAN FROM THE FIRST 56:18 COMING OF JESUS AND WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE CHURCH UP UNTIL 56:22 JUST BEFORE THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS. 56:25 IT SHOWS THE GREAT APOSTASY THAT CREPT INTO THE CHURCH AND THEN, 56:31 ULTIMATELY, THE GREAT REVIVAL THROUGH THE GREAT REFORMATION. 56:37 THIS IS A LIFE AND DEATH BATTLE. 56:39 IT'S NOT JUST SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING IN HALLUCINATIONS OF A 56:44 PROPHET, THOSE THINGS ARE PLAYED OUT IN REAL HISTORY. (MUSIC) 56:58 >>THIS SCENE THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO SHOOT IS 'THE MASSACRE 57:01 OF THE INNOCENTS'. IT IS A BETHLEHEM LOCATION AND, 57:05 AS YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME, WE HAVE THE FAUX WALLS THAT ARE UP. 57:09 WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME GREEN SCREEN THAT GIVES THE EXTENSION 57:12 OR THE ILLUSION THAT BETHLEHEM GOES ON FOR A GOOD DISTANCE, SO 57:16 IT'S A BIGGER CITY THAN WHAT YOU SEE BEHIND ME. 57:18 THE HISTORIC EVENT IS CALLED 'THE MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENTS' 57:20 AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SHOOTING TONIGHT SO WE'RE HOPING THAT 57:22 WE'RE ABLE TO PULL IT OFF IN A WAY THAT BRINGS TO LIFE THE 57:26 EVENT BUT ALSO DOES IT IN A TASTEFUL WAY BECAUSE THAT EVENT, 57:29 OBVIOUSLY WAS - IT WAS PRETTY GRUESOME AND WE'RE HOPING TO 57:32 KEEP THAT OUT OF THE SHOT BUT AT THE SAME TIME GIVE THE ILLUSION 57:37 THAT WE'RE HERE IN BETHLEHEM AND WE ARE AT THIS HORRIFIC EVENT. 57:42 (MUSIC) |
