Heavenly Father
00:00:07.90\00:00:11.81
We are gathered here on what
seems like a cold wintery night
00:00:11.81\00:00:15.78
but Father we believe
there is ablessing here for us
00:00:15.78\00:00:19.78
not just because it is a church
building but you have promised
00:00:19.78\00:00:23.79
that where 2 or 3
people gathered in your name
00:00:23.79\00:00:27.82
that there your presence would
be. Lord you have said that if
00:00:27.82\00:00:31.83
any one lacks wisdom that we
should ask and you would give
00:00:31.83\00:00:35.80
liberally so tonight we come
to you with a surrendered heart
00:00:35.80\00:00:39.80
We're to give us wisdom to know
what these prophecies saying
00:00:39.80\00:00:43.87
saying to use today we
would ask you to give a heart
00:00:43.87\00:00:47.88
and a mind that is open to
the voice of the Holy Spirit
00:00:47.88\00:00:51.88
these thing we ask in Jesus name
00:00:51.88\00:00:55.88
Amen. For years
00:00:55.88\00:00:59.89
Mr. Smith had
neglected to pay his taxes
00:00:59.89\00:01:03.89
year after year when the
forms would come in the mail
00:01:03.89\00:01:07.93
he would just connveniently
set them aside and forget about
00:01:07.93\00:01:11.90
them. He figured he had
better things to do than
00:01:11.90\00:01:15.87
fill out forms
besides the government already
00:01:15.87\00:01:19.91
had enough of hs money so he
thought they didnt need any more
00:01:19.91\00:01:23.88
so as each year went
by he would buy new cars
00:01:23.88\00:01:27.92
take expensive vacations and
add to his material possessions
00:01:27.92\00:01:31.92
but he never paid his taxes.
00:01:31.92\00:01:35.89
well one day
the bomb was dropped
00:01:35.89\00:01:39.93
they received a notice in
the mail from the IRS that their
00:01:39.93\00:01:43.90
back taxes of ten
years were long overdue
00:01:43.90\00:01:47.90
and payment was
expected to be made in 60 days
00:01:47.90\00:01:51.94
well Mr. Smith's
wife was frantic and she
00:01:51.94\00:01:55.91
went to her husband and begged
him to please go to the IRS and
00:01:55.91\00:02:00.05
confess his
neglegance and work things out
00:02:00.05\00:02:03.99
but he wuldn't do it. He said
honey its just a form letter
00:02:03.99\00:02:07.99
they have no intentions
of following through besides
00:02:07.99\00:02:11.99
they don't even
know where we live
00:02:11.99\00:02:15.93
Mr. Smith was a bit naive.
at the end of the 60 days Mrs.
00:02:15.93\00:02:19.97
Smith took it upon herself
to call the IRS and to ask
00:02:19.97\00:02:23.97
for an extension and they
graciously agreed to do so
00:02:23.97\00:02:27.98
they gave them another 60 days
00:02:27.98\00:02:31.98
during that time she
begged, pleaded with her husband
00:02:31.98\00:02:35.98
to go take care of this business
to make things right before
00:02:35.98\00:02:39.99
they lost everything they
had but he just wouldn't do it.
00:02:39.99\00:02:43.99
At the end of the
second set of 60 days
00:02:43.99\00:02:48.00
she again called the IRS
00:02:48.00\00:02:52.00
and asked for another one and
believe it or not they glacially
00:02:52.00\00:02:56.00
agreed to do
so.They were given another
00:02:56.00\00:03:00.08
change of 60 days
during this time she
00:03:00.08\00:03:04.01
tried everything she cold
she with he husband pleaded,
00:03:04.01\00:03:08.02
screamed at him, she even
threatened him with divorce if
00:03:08.02\00:03:12.02
so he doesn't take care of
it but he absolutely refused.
00:03:12.02\00:03:16.02
and at the end of that
third set of 60 days She again
00:03:16.02\00:03:20.06
called the IRS and
ask for another extension
00:03:20.06\00:03:24.07
but this time they refused
00:03:24.07\00:03:28.07
they explained to Mrs
Smith that her husband had
00:03:28.07\00:03:32.07
evaded taxes for over 10
years and they had been given
00:03:32.07\00:03:36.08
two extensions on the
deadline but now it was time
00:03:36.08\00:03:40.08
for the taxes to
be paid the next day
00:03:40.08\00:03:44.05
when he came home from work
he walked in the door to see
00:03:44.05\00:03:48.09
three men in black suits
waiting as they approached
00:03:48.09\00:03:52.09
him one man read him his
rights while the other two
00:03:52.09\00:03:56.10
took him by the hands
placed them behind his back
00:03:56.10\00:04:00.14
and put on the handcuffs
and Mr Smith wasled out the door
00:04:00.14\00:04:04.07
to face charge of tax evasion
00:04:04.07\00:04:08.11
as her husband was led out the
door she sobbed uncontrolably
00:04:08.11\00:04:12.11
and officers felt
bad about the situation
00:04:12.11\00:04:16.12
they hadn't meant to
hurt the wife but what could
00:04:16.12\00:04:20.12
Mr Smith had
plenty of Opportunities
00:04:20.12\00:04:24.13
to do what was right he just ran
00:04:24.13\00:04:28.13
out of time
00:04:28.13\00:04:32.17
tonight's prophecy is a lot
like that story it is a prophecy
00:04:32.17\00:04:36.17
in the Bible that actually talks
about this world running out of
00:04:36.17\00:04:40.14
time it is known as the 2300
00:04:40.14\00:04:44.15
day prophecy and is
found in Daniel Chapter 8
00:04:44.15\00:04:48.18
now this is meant to be a
wake up call for chrsitians
00:04:48.18\00:04:52.22
who are living at the end of
time it is really meant to be
00:04:52.22\00:04:56.22
a prophecy warning us that
we are living in God's hour of
00:04:56.22\00:05:00.30
judgement and above all things
it is a prphecy that is telling
00:05:00.30\00:05:03.77
us that it is
time to turn our eyes
00:05:03.77\00:05:07.80
upon Jesus so I want to
invite you to take your Bibles
00:05:07.80\00:05:11.87
and we're gonna go to the
main part of this prophecy which
00:05:11.87\00:05:15.84
in Daniel chapter 8 and verse 14
00:05:15.84\00:05:19.88
What chapter? 8 We are
going to start in verse
00:05:19.88\00:05:23.18
14 now it is interesting
this was a prophecy studied
00:05:23.18\00:05:27.92
by a group of
people about 200 years ago
00:05:27.92\00:05:31.93
but they misinterpreted part
of it because they thought they
00:05:31.93\00:05:35.96
found the date when Jesus would
come and of course thye were
disappointed becasue
00:05:35.96\00:05:39.97
no man knows the day or the hour
but just because some people
00:05:39.97\00:05:43.97
made an innocent mistake 200
years ago does that mean that we
00:05:43.97\00:05:48.01
should ignore this prophecy put
in God's word for a reason what
00:05:48.01\00:05:52.08
do you think? we need to
continue to study it and you
will fimd that the word
00:05:52.08\00:05:56.12
of God makes this very
clear and very understandable
00:05:56.12\00:06:00.22
Daniel chapter 8 and in a
minute we want to read verse
00:06:00.22\00:06:04.19
14 but this what
Daniel is seeing vision
00:06:04.19\00:06:08.16
He is seeing a picture of
the major nations of the world
00:06:08.16\00:06:12.13
fighting against each He see
00:06:12.13\00:06:16.17
a vision of a goat
and a ram in conflict
00:06:16.17\00:06:20.18
they represent the superpowers
of the day. Persia and Greece
00:06:20.18\00:06:24.21
empire but what I want us to
focus on is something the angels
00:06:24.21\00:06:28.18
says at the end of
this vision that got
00:06:28.18\00:06:32.19
Daniel's attention. Daniel 8
00:06:32.19\00:06:36.22
and verse 14 the The Bible
says and the angel is speaking
00:06:36.22\00:06:40.23
And he said to me for
00:06:40.23\00:06:44.20
For two thousand three
hundred days; then the sanctuary
00:06:44.20\00:06:48.20
shall be What.
cleansed Is't that awesome
00:06:48.20\00:06:52.21
isnt that a wonderfull
prphecy and you're looking at me
00:06:52.21\00:06:56.21
thinking yeah except for one
thing what in the world does it
00:06:56.21\00:07:00.28
mean because so far
we see two things in that
00:07:00.28\00:07:04.22
sentence that make no
sense to us at this point
00:07:04.22\00:07:08.22
What is this
2300 day business and
00:07:08.22\00:07:12.23
and Question number 2 What
does it mean that the sanctuary
00:07:12.23\00:07:16.20
shall be cleansed?
What is it takling about
00:07:16.20\00:07:20.20
Here is what we need to so since
we see something in the book of
00:07:20.20\00:07:24.24
Daniel that we don't understand,
a phrase we dont have a
00:07:24.24\00:07:28.28
definition for instead of
guessing or Speculating or
00:07:28.28\00:07:32.28
making somthing up you know
what we have to do? You go to a
00:07:32.28\00:07:36.28
another part of the Bible
to find the answer see that
00:07:36.28\00:07:40.29
is the proper way to study God's
word when you see something
00:07:40.29\00:07:44.29
not quite making sense don't
just make something up go to
00:07:44.29\00:07:48.26
other portions of the Bible
that talk about the same subject
00:07:48.26\00:07:52.27
and God will begin to
make it clearer to you and
00:07:52.27\00:07:56.27
one phrase we need to
focus on is this term that is
00:07:56.27\00:08:00.34
called the
cleansing of the sanctuary
00:08:00.34\00:08:04.28
because what we need to
go to another part of the Old
00:08:04.28\00:08:08.32
Testament because all the
way back in Exodus and Leviticus
00:08:08.32\00:08:12.29
there was something that
was called the cleansing of the
00:08:12.29\00:08:16.29
sanctuary something
that God had instructed
00:08:16.29\00:08:20.33
Moses and the Israelites to
do so we want to understand what
00:08:20.33\00:08:24.30
Daniel is talking about here the
first thing we are going to have
00:08:24.30\00:08:28.30
to do just keep our finder here
in Daniel but for fifteen or
00:08:28.30\00:08:32.31
twenties minuties we're going to
have to go another part of the
00:08:32.31\00:08:36.31
Bible and let it explain it to
us what is this cleansing of the
00:08:36.31\00:08:40.32
sanctuary to do that we
are going to have to study Old
00:08:40.32\00:08:44.32
Testament sanctuary, so I would
like you to take your Bibles and
00:08:44.32\00:08:48.32
we're going to go now to Exodus
chapter 25, now you can keep
00:08:48.32\00:08:52.39
your finder in Danile 8 because
we are go to go back there but
00:08:52.39\00:08:56.33
first we have to
understand some other things
00:08:56.33\00:09:00.44
Exodus chapter 25 amd I'm
going to be reading verses
00:09:00.44\00:09:04.37
8 and 9 Now this is
00:09:04.37\00:09:08.38
God speaking to Moses and
the Israelites and you remember
00:09:08.38\00:09:12.35
that as soon as God delivered
them from slavery in Egypt
00:09:12.35\00:09:16.35
one of the first
things God told them to do
00:09:16.35\00:09:20.42
is to build him a
What? sanctuary so
00:09:20.42\00:09:24.39
let'spick this up,
Exodus 25 and verse 8
00:09:24.39\00:09:28.40
The Bible says
00:09:28.40\00:09:32.40
and let them make me a
sanctuary that I may dwell
00:09:32.40\00:09:36.37
among them
according to all I show you
00:09:36.37\00:09:40.38
that is the pattern
of the tabernacle and
00:09:40.38\00:09:44.38
the patter of all furnishings
just so you shall make it
00:09:44.38\00:09:48.42
Now we got to stop there.
Clearly God has just given
00:09:48.42\00:09:52.42
Moses and the
Israelites a command he said
00:09:52.42\00:09:56.42
I want you to build a
sanctuary where my presence
00:09:56.42\00:10:00.43
shall dwell and he
says they need to make it
00:10:00.43\00:10:04.33
after the specific
pattern that He gave them
00:10:04.33\00:10:12.37
through Exodus and
Leviticus you will find that God
00:10:12.37\00:10:16.41
went into
excruciating detail as to how
00:10:16.41\00:10:20.45
that sanctuary should be built.
he told them what kind of wood
00:10:20.45\00:10:24.42
to use what color the
cloth and tapestry should be
00:10:24.42\00:10:28.42
He told them what kind of
symbols and pictures ought to be
00:10:28.42\00:10:32.43
on that cloth I mean he went
into so much detail about it
00:10:32.43\00:10:36.40
and you might say why?
because everything in that
00:10:36.40\00:10:40.40
sanctuary was to
represent something about
00:10:40.40\00:10:44.47
the plan of salvation
everything that went on in that
00:10:44.47\00:10:48.48
sanctuary all these sacrifices
of all these animals were to
00:10:48.48\00:10:52.48
point foward to the time when
Jesus would coming the Messiah
00:10:52.48\00:10:56.48
and he would shed his
blood for the sin of the world
00:10:56.48\00:11:00.56
that is why it was so important
so what I would like to do right
00:11:00.56\00:11:04.46
now for a moment I'm going
to put a little diagram of the
00:11:04.46\00:11:08.46
sanctuary on the screen and we
are study this for just a moment
00:11:08.46\00:11:12.50
you will find that many churches
and christians dont pay a lot
00:11:12.50\00:11:16.47
of attention to the old
testament becasue they feel it
00:11:16.47\00:11:20.48
is not relevant to our world
today but the truth is so many
00:11:20.48\00:11:24.48
lessons about Jesus and there
are so many lessons salvation
00:11:24.48\00:11:28.52
even in the Old Testament
because there because there is
00:11:28.52\00:11:32.49
no way to have a new testament
if you don't have a What? an old
00:11:32.49\00:11:36.52
testament so everything in that
sanctuary will tell us someting
00:11:36.52\00:11:40.53
about our Savior now you
see the diagram just above me
00:11:40.53\00:11:44.50
The Old Testament sanctuary
was basically divided into two
00:11:44.50\00:11:48.50
compartments. How
many did I says? Two
00:11:48.50\00:11:52.51
In the holy place you
see three pieces of furniture
00:11:52.51\00:11:56.51
now it is a little small for me
to see there you notice have the
00:11:56.51\00:12:00.58
lampstand that what brought
and shed light enter part of
00:12:00.58\00:12:04.59
sanctuary there that
lampstand was meant to represent
00:12:04.59\00:12:08.59
Jesus Christ who would
be the light of the world
00:12:08.59\00:12:12.56
on the other side you
see the table of shew bread
00:12:12.56\00:12:16.56
where bread was placed
that also represent Jesus Crist
00:12:16.56\00:12:20.54
as Jesus himself said I'm the
bread that came down from where?
00:12:20.54\00:12:24.57
Heaven then
right next to the vail
00:12:24.57\00:12:28.58
that separated the holy place
from the most holy place you see
00:12:28.58\00:12:32.58
the altar of burnt incense
and what would happen incense
00:12:32.58\00:12:36.62
would be continually burned and
when the smoke of that incense
00:12:36.62\00:12:40.59
walk up into the air it would
go into the Most Holy Place
00:12:40.59\00:12:44.59
and that
represented God actively
00:12:44.59\00:12:48.60
hears the prayers
of His people. Then
00:12:48.60\00:12:52.60
you go in the most
holy place an in there
00:12:52.60\00:12:56.60
is a very special
peace of furniture
00:12:56.60\00:13:00.68
it was known as
Ark of the Covenant
00:13:00.68\00:13:04.61
the Ark Covenant was
like a chest overlaid
00:13:04.61\00:13:08.68
in pure gold on
top on either side
00:13:08.68\00:13:12.69
were two golden
cherubim or golden statues
00:13:12.69\00:13:16.66
of angels and
In-between angels in the midst
00:13:16.66\00:13:20.70
that's that where dwelt, what
was called the Shekinah Glory
00:13:20.70\00:13:24.67
of God inside the Ark
of the Covenant were three
00:13:24.67\00:13:28.67
things Now I'm going to quiz
you, do you know what they were?
00:13:28.67\00:13:32.71
one was the origianl 10
commandments, the second was a
00:13:32.71\00:13:36.71
pot of manna, to
remind them how God
00:13:36.71\00:13:40.68
had constantly delivered them in
the wilderness and the third was
00:13:40.68\00:13:44.69
was Aarons rod that budded that
showed he and his family would
00:13:44.69\00:13:48.72
be the lioneage of the
high priests so now that we
00:13:48.72\00:13:52.69
understand and see what his
sanctuary's was made of here is
00:13:52.69\00:13:56.70
what would happen every
single day and you will notice
00:13:56.70\00:14:00.77
there is a reason why I have
stuffed lamb it is right here
00:14:00.77\00:14:04.71
buy the podium everyday
00:14:04.71\00:14:08.78
people of Israel
would bring a lamb
00:14:08.78\00:14:12.75
to the courtyard of
the sanctuary the person
00:14:12.75\00:14:16.79
on the head of the lamb
as you see in the picture
00:14:16.79\00:14:20.79
and he would confessed his sins
00:14:20.79\00:14:24.79
the sins of that perosn
would then be transferred to
00:14:24.79\00:14:28.73
innocent little
lamb the would then be
00:14:28.73\00:14:32.80
slain and the blood of the Lamb
00:14:32.80\00:14:36.77
was taken into the
holy place and sprinkled
00:14:36.77\00:14:40.81
on the horns of the
altar of burnt incense
00:14:40.81\00:14:44.78
and so the sin of that person
would be transferred to the lamb
00:14:44.78\00:14:48.82
and then would be
transferred to the sanctuary
00:14:48.82\00:14:52.82
sanctuary which also represented
Jesus so want you to picture
00:14:52.82\00:14:56.83
this in your mind everyday
people were bring lambs to the
00:14:56.83\00:15:00.90
sanctuary everyday they are
confess their sins on the lamb
00:15:00.90\00:15:04.80
the lamb slain which represetns
Jesus on the cross of Calvary
00:15:04.80\00:15:08.84
the blood of that lamb
is taken into the sanctuary
00:15:08.84\00:15:12.87
where God accepts the blood of
the lamb in place of the blood
00:15:12.87\00:15:16.85
of the sinner and so as the
quote sin is being transferred
00:15:16.85\00:15:20.88
into the sanctuary
that means single everyday
00:15:20.88\00:15:24.92
the sanctuary is
filling up with sin so to speak
00:15:24.92\00:15:28.89
becasue the people are
confessing on the lamb and the
00:15:28.89\00:15:32.93
blood of lamb it is going
inside the sanctuary but then
00:15:32.93\00:15:36.90
so then one day out
of the year on a day
00:15:36.90\00:15:40.90
known as the Day of Atonement
there would be something called
00:15:40.90\00:15:44.91
the cleansing of the sanctuary
00:15:44.91\00:15:48.94
and it happen like
this in the cleansing of
00:15:48.94\00:15:52.98
the sanctuary once a
year the high priest, and only
00:15:52.98\00:15:56.99
the high priest would
bring a goat to the sanctuary
00:15:56.99\00:16:01.06
he would lay his hands on
it, and confess the sins of the
00:16:01.06\00:16:04.99
of all Israel for
that year. The sins
00:16:04.99\00:16:08.96
would be transferred to the
goat, The goat would be slain
00:16:08.96\00:16:12.97
and the blood was taken
into not to the holy place
00:16:12.97\00:16:16.97
this time but into
the Most Holy place
00:16:16.97\00:16:21.01
and sprinkled before the
presence of God at the ark of
00:16:21.01\00:16:25.05
the covenant and when that
happened God would accept the
00:16:25.05\00:16:29.02
blood of the goat in place of
the blood of the sins of Israel
00:16:29.02\00:16:33.09
and what would happen is that
Israel was cleansed of their
00:16:33.09\00:16:37.09
sins for the entire year
and the sanctuary was cleansed
00:16:37.09\00:16:41.06
of all sin building
up inside of it everyday
00:16:41.06\00:16:45.10
of the year. You can
ready about in Leviticus 16
00:16:45.10\00:16:49.10
So I want to summarize this
again because it is important
00:16:49.10\00:16:53.11
everyday the people of
Israel would bring a lamb
00:16:53.11\00:16:57.18
to the sanctuary confess their
sins on it the blood would be
taken into the sancturay
00:16:57.18\00:17:01.15
sin would be
transferred into the sanctuary
00:17:01.15\00:17:05.19
every single day the sanctuary
would build up and build with
00:17:05.19\00:17:09.19
sin but on the day of Atonement
00:17:09.19\00:17:13.23
the sanctuary was cleansed
when the High Priest would take
00:17:13.23\00:17:17.20
the blood of the goat into
the present of God at Ark of the
00:17:17.20\00:17:21.20
Covenant and the
entire sanctuary would be
00:17:21.20\00:17:25.24
cleansed, when that
happen on the day of Atonement
00:17:25.24\00:17:29.28
it signified a very serious
00:17:29.28\00:17:33.28
time of judgement see
the cleaning of the sanctuary
00:17:33.28\00:17:37.29
was a time when people
really examine their lives
00:17:37.29\00:17:41.32
and get right with God. Becasue
the people knew God was going to
00:17:41.32\00:17:45.33
blot out their sins
for that entire year see 10
00:17:45.33\00:17:49.30
days before the
priest would blow trumpets
00:17:49.30\00:17:53.37
and that signified to Israel
the day of Atonement is coming
00:17:53.37\00:17:57.37
the cleansing of the
sanctuary is almost here and it
00:17:57.37\00:18:01.41
was signal to they had to
be sure to be right with God
00:18:01.41\00:18:05.41
because He was going to blot out
those sins is was a time when
00:18:05.41\00:18:09.42
they prepare for the coming
of the Messiah the first time
00:18:09.42\00:18:13.49
So if that is the term
cleansing of the sanctuary
00:18:13.49\00:18:17.49
means then then we
can go to back to Daniel
00:18:17.49\00:18:21.46
because apparently
Daniel is telling us
00:18:21.46\00:18:25.47
about sometime in the future
there is going to be a timne of
00:18:25.47\00:18:29.50
judgement when God look to
blot out the sins of the world
00:18:29.50\00:18:33.58
and Jesus is coming
that is what the cleansing
00:18:33.58\00:18:37.58
of the sanctuary
representing. So back in Daniel
00:18:37.58\00:18:41.58
8:14 Daniel said,
00:18:41.58\00:18:45.65
we'll stop there for second,
if you were here last night we
00:18:49.69\00:18:53.70
learned a prophetic principle
of interruption that was
00:18:53.70\00:18:57.70
known as the day
for a year principle
00:18:57.70\00:19:01.70
can I see your hand scholars
of all denominations agree upon
00:19:01.70\00:19:05.74
that so when the angel is
saying Daniel, in 2300 years
00:19:05.74\00:19:09.78
the sanctuary will be cleansed
and it is going represent a time
00:19:09.78\00:19:13.82
of judgement what the angel
really saying that in 2300 years
00:19:13.82\00:19:17.72
far into the
future now that leads to
00:19:17.72\00:19:21.89
a question a couple
of questions number one
00:19:21.89\00:19:25.89
when is this serious
time in earth history? and
00:19:25.89\00:19:29.86
numebr two what sanctuary
is supposed to be cleansed
00:19:29.86\00:19:33.97
does this mean some sanctuary
that will be rebuild in
00:19:33.97\00:19:37.97
Jerusalem or does it mean
something else so here is where
00:19:37.97\00:19:42.11
we have to go to another part
of the bible to get the answer
00:19:42.11\00:19:46.38
because do you realizet The
Bible talks about a heavenly
00:19:46.38\00:19:49.98
sanctuary heavenly
sanctuary did you know that?
00:19:49.98\00:19:53.99
See that is why God told Moses
I want you to build it after the
00:19:53.99\00:19:57.99
pattern I give you becasue the
earthly sanctuary in Israel's
00:19:57.99\00:20:02.00
time was pattern after
God's heavenly sanctuary
00:20:02.00\00:20:06.00
I want you to notice
what John wrote in revelation
00:20:06.00\00:20:10.01
Revelation 11:19 in vision
00:20:10.01\00:20:14.14
John actually
sees a picture of God's
00:20:14.14\00:20:18.01
heavenly
scanctuary and he writes this
00:20:18.01\00:20:22.02
The bible Says
00:20:22.02\00:20:26.02
So very clearly John
in vision is telling us
00:20:34.00\00:20:38.07
that there is a
heavenly sanctuary
00:20:38.07\00:20:42.07
now before we go farther
I got to share a beautiful
00:20:42.07\00:20:46.07
truth with you that is
not always well known did you
00:20:46.07\00:20:50.05
know after Jesus died
on the cross, and rose
00:20:50.05\00:20:54.05
from the grave and 40 days
latter ascended back to heaven
00:20:54.05\00:20:57.89
did you know he ascended
into the heavenly sanctuary
00:20:57.89\00:21:01.92
to be in the
presence of the Father before
00:21:01.92\00:21:05.89
we go back to Daniel I want to
show you a couple verses in the
00:21:05.89\00:21:09.90
book of Hebrews that is
just fantastic take your bibles
00:21:09.90\00:21:14.34
go to Hebrews
chatper 9 and verse 24
00:21:14.34\00:21:18.34
24 Hebrews chapter 9 verse 24
00:21:18.34\00:21:22.34
and we would to go to verse 24
00:21:22.34\00:21:26.35
and I want you to notice
something that Paul writes and
00:21:26.35\00:21:30.39
if you listen this verse very
clearly you hear him talking
00:21:30.39\00:21:34.39
about a heavenly
sanctury Hebrews chapter 9
00:21:34.39\00:21:38.39
verse 24
00:21:38.39\00:21:42.36
The bible says, for Christ
00:21:42.36\00:21:46.37
has not entered the
holy places made with hands
00:21:46.37\00:21:50.41
which are copies
of the true but into
00:21:50.41\00:21:54.41
heaven itself now to
appear in the presence of God
00:21:54.41\00:21:58.41
for us. that is
what Paul wrote there
00:21:58.41\00:22:02.42
he said that Jesus
Christ has ascended into
00:22:02.42\00:22:05.55
heaven it self to
appear in the presence of God
00:22:05.55\00:22:10.43
That means right
now Jesus is not sitting
00:22:10.43\00:22:14.46
on a cloud twittling his
thumbs waiting for the Father
00:22:14.46\00:22:18.43
to tell him when he can
go back and rescue his people
00:22:18.43\00:22:22.44
Jesus is not sitting up in
heaven saying great I died on
00:22:22.44\00:22:26.44
the cross I'm just set
here bored until I can come back
00:22:26.44\00:22:30.25
rescue my people The bible
says Jesus Christ is actively
00:22:30.25\00:22:34.45
interceding for you and I
in the presence of the Father
00:22:34.45\00:22:37.95
in what is called the
heavenly sanctuary we ought
00:22:37.95\00:22:42.46
to says amen to that. Do
you realize that means that I
00:22:42.46\00:22:46.49
have a living savior who brings
all my needs all my requests
00:22:46.49\00:22:50.47
into the very presence of God.
00:22:50.47\00:22:54.47
Hebrews chaspter 8
talks about this you know
00:22:54.47\00:22:58.47
we may ask what does it
mean to intercede for me
00:22:58.47\00:23:02.51
since we are already in Hebrews
let's go back one chapter
00:23:02.51\00:23:06.51
and let's read
chapter 8 verses 1 through 2
00:23:06.51\00:23:10.52
Notice what the Bibke says here
00:23:10.52\00:23:14.52
Now this is the
main point of the things
00:23:14.52\00:23:18.53
we are saying. We
have such a high priest
00:23:18.53\00:23:22.53
who is seated at the
right hand of the throne of
00:23:22.53\00:23:26.53
the majesty (where)
in heaven a minister
00:23:26.53\00:23:30.54
of the (what)
sanctuary and of the true
00:23:30.54\00:23:34.54
tabernacle that the
Lord erected and not man
00:23:34.54\00:23:38.55
now let me ask you, when it
says we have such a high priest
00:23:38.55\00:23:42.55
in the heavenly scanctuary not
the one man erected in Jerusalem
00:23:42.55\00:23:46.59
the one God built,who is it
is it talking about that is are
00:23:46.59\00:23:50.59
high Priest? it is Jesus Christ!
00:23:50.59\00:23:54.56
I really want you to
think about this that means
00:23:54.56\00:23:58.57
that when I pray that means
00:23:58.57\00:24:01.94
When you are on your
knees beside your bed
00:24:01.94\00:24:06.61
or maybe you're silently pray
when you are ride in the car
00:24:06.61\00:24:10.61
that means Jesus Christ
takes my pray that means
00:24:10.61\00:24:14.62
Jesus Christ knows
what I need intercedes
00:24:14.62\00:24:18.62
for me in the
presence of the Father that he
00:24:18.62\00:24:22.66
opens up all the resources
of heaven for His people
00:24:22.66\00:24:26.66
and for His church
when they need it. It is
00:24:26.66\00:24:30.63
and confess my sins telling me
I don't need to go to an earthly
00:24:30.63\00:24:34.64
religious leader and confess my
sins I can go directly to Jesus
00:24:34.64\00:24:38.67
to the one who
laid his live on Calvary
00:24:38.67\00:24:42.68
to the one who shed His
blood for me becasue when I pray
00:24:42.68\00:24:46.68
Jesus Christ
hears. Can you say Amen?
00:24:46.68\00:24:50.72
Now I may not feel like
my paryers go higher that the
00:24:50.72\00:24:54.72
ceiling but praise God it is not
based on feelings. Can you say
00:24:54.72\00:24:58.43
Amen it is based on the promise
that Hebrews says Jesus is my
00:24:58.43\00:25:02.43
High Priest he is in a heavenly
scanctuary the presence of the
00:25:02.43\00:25:06.47
Father and He talks to
the Father about me and
00:25:06.47\00:25:10.47
about you because it tell
me I don't have to be unsure
00:25:10.47\00:25:14.51
about my salvation I dont
have to doubt whether I am
00:25:14.51\00:25:18.55
truly forgiven I
have a living Savior who
00:25:18.55\00:25:22.58
shed his blood and
he says I am forgiven
00:25:22.58\00:25:26.59
and you see just
as in the earthly
00:25:26.59\00:25:31.59
sanctuary God
accepted the blood of the lamb
00:25:31.59\00:25:35.56
in place of the
blood of the sinner
00:25:35.56\00:25:39.57
when Jesus stands before the
presence of the Father and the
00:25:39.57\00:25:43.57
Father see the nail prints
in His hand and in His feet
00:25:43.57\00:25:47.58
the wound in His side the Father
00:25:47.58\00:25:51.58
accepts the
blood of Jesus in place
00:25:51.58\00:25:55.62
of the blood of the
siner in place of you and I
00:25:55.62\00:25:59.79
he says that Jesus
sacrifice is perfect
00:25:59.79\00:26:05.13
that Jessus sacrifice
paid the price and because
00:26:05.13\00:26:09.66
he is our high priest you and I
have the opportunity to be saved
everybody ought to say amen on
00:26:09.66\00:26:13.47
that if you leave here tonight
not understanding everything
anything except the fact
00:26:13.47\00:26:17.47
that Jesus is your high priest
it is worth being here tonight
00:26:17.47\00:26:21.48
now that we understand that
00:26:21.48\00:26:25.48
we can go back to Daniel becasue
here is what we've learned so
00:26:25.48\00:26:29.48
far now follow me here the bible
told us there was an earthly
00:26:29.48\00:26:33.49
sanctuary in Moses time
and when that scanctuary
00:26:33.49\00:26:37.56
when that scanctuary was
cleansed it represented a time
of judgement for the people
00:26:37.56\00:26:41.66
of Israel it signified
they show examine their lives
00:26:41.66\00:26:45.80
to get right with God because
God was preparing to blot out
00:26:45.80\00:26:49.87
their sins and the
Messiah was going to come
00:26:49.87\00:26:53.88
so if Daniel is talking
about a cleaning of the Heavenly
00:26:53.88\00:26:58.28
Sanctuary that will be
far in the future at the
00:26:58.28\00:27:02.25
end of time that must mean
that there is going be a time
00:27:02.25\00:27:06.62
judgement for this world
a time when people should
00:27:06.62\00:27:10.53
examine their lives a
time when God is preparing
00:27:10.53\00:27:14.50
to blot out the sin
of the world forever
00:27:14.50\00:27:18.40
a time when people
need to prepare for Jesus
00:27:18.40\00:27:22.40
to come and so the question is
00:27:22.40\00:27:26.41
when is the Heavenly Sanctuary
cleaned, now you realize that is
00:27:26.41\00:27:30.78
symbolic that doesnt actually
mean there is sin Heavenly
Sanctuary but when is
00:27:30.78\00:27:34.82
this time of judgement for
the world when is this time
00:27:34.82\00:27:38.82
when we should examine our lives
and God is getting read to blot
00:27:38.82\00:27:42.82
out sin becasue Jesus is going
to come this is where we now
00:27:42.82\00:27:46.86
need go back to the prophecy
in Daniel 8:14 and we will begin
00:27:46.86\00:27:51.47
to understand so if you
kept your finger in Daniel 8
00:27:51.47\00:27:55.50
you might as well flip
back there now. We now have all
00:27:55.50\00:27:59.51
the neccesary
information we need to start put
00:27:59.51\00:28:03.55
the pieces of the puzzle
together do you see how we went
00:28:03.55\00:28:08.18
from one part of the Bible to
the other how we saw a term in
00:28:08.18\00:28:12.22
Daniel we did not understand the
cleaning of the Sanctuary so we
00:28:12.22\00:28:16.22
went back to Exodus and other
parts of the old testament it
00:28:16.22\00:28:20.23
begin to fill in the blanks and
tell us what us what that
represent in time of judgement
00:28:20.23\00:28:24.23
so now we go back
to Daniel 8:14 let's
00:28:24.23\00:28:28.27
read again. Daniel
8:14 the bible says,
00:28:28.27\00:28:32.24
And he said to me, for
00:28:32.24\00:28:37.01
2300 days then the
sanctuary shall be cleansed
00:28:37.01\00:28:41.22
well if you apply the
day for a year principle
00:28:41.22\00:28:45.29
that means 2300 years
00:28:45.29\00:28:49.29
the sanctuary would be cleansed
there would be a time of
00:28:49.29\00:28:56.03
judgement Daniel
is realizing woah
00:28:56.03\00:29:00.14
this is way near the end of
time in his mind he is thinking
00:29:00.14\00:29:04.11
well Sanctuary
Jerusalem is destroyed the
00:29:04.11\00:29:08.08
wall of Jerusalem are broken
down Daniel doesn't understand
00:29:08.08\00:29:12.11
what the Angel is trying to say
so now we pick it up in verse 15
00:29:12.11\00:29:16.69
because the angle explains even
more and there is something very
00:29:16.69\00:29:20.66
very key in verses 15 through 17
00:29:20.66\00:29:24.69
verse 15 the Bible
says Then it happened,
00:29:24.69\00:29:28.70
when I Daniel,
had seen the vision
00:29:28.70\00:29:33.27
and was seeking (that means
that He didn't understand it at
00:29:33.27\00:29:37.31
first) that suddenly
there stood before me one
00:29:37.31\00:29:41.34
having the appearance of a
man And I heard a man's voice
00:29:41.34\00:29:45.38
between the banks of the
Ulai, who called, and said,
00:29:45.38\00:29:49.38
"Gabriel, make this
man understand the vision."
00:29:49.38\00:29:53.39
verse 17 so he came near
00:29:53.39\00:29:57.43
where I stood and
when he came I was afraid
00:29:57.43\00:30:02.46
and fell on my face but
he said to me understand
00:30:02.46\00:30:06.97
son of man that
the vision refers to
00:30:06.97\00:30:11.01
(What?) the time of the end
00:30:11.01\00:30:15.01
now we got to stop there
00:30:15.01\00:30:19.08
Daniel is wondering what
is this 2300 day and year
00:30:19.08\00:30:23.08
business all about and
the angel Gabriel is sent
00:30:23.08\00:30:27.12
to him and of course Daneil
a little bit afraid now I have
00:30:27.12\00:30:31.16
never seen an angel but I
imagine if you saw the glory of
an angel you would probably
00:30:31.16\00:30:35.13
be bit afraid too and
the angel says to Daniel
00:30:35.13\00:30:39.13
Daneil this vison refers not
00:30:39.13\00:30:43.14
to your time (but to what?
00:30:43.14\00:30:47.18
the time of the end
notice not my opinion not
00:30:47.18\00:30:51.18
a commentary interpretation.
The Bible itself tells us
00:30:51.18\00:30:55.18
that the end of the 2300
years the end of the 2300
00:30:55.18\00:30:59.19
years is going to be in
the future, in the time of
00:30:59.19\00:31:03.19
the end. Wow.
00:31:03.19\00:31:07.20
Daniel was so astonished
00:31:07.20\00:31:11.17
you know that he actualy
faints in this vison go to verse
00:31:11.17\00:31:15.17
27 it actual
describes Danial fainting
00:31:15.17\00:31:19.21
and I Daniel
fainted and was sick for
00:31:19.21\00:31:23.21
(how Long?) days
afterward I arose and I
00:31:23.21\00:31:27.22
went about the kings business
I was astonished by the vision
00:31:27.22\00:31:31.22
but no one understood it
00:31:31.22\00:31:35.22
chapter 8 then
ends becasue obviously
00:31:35.22\00:31:39.23
when daniel faints the vision
is over the angel goes away
00:31:39.23\00:31:43.23
but the angel hadn't
explained everything yet so
00:31:43.23\00:31:47.20
chapter 9 opens up with
Daniel praying a very sincere
00:31:47.20\00:31:51.24
prayer He startes
paraying for his people
00:31:51.24\00:31:55.24
Israel but in
verse 21 of chapter 9
00:31:55.24\00:31:59.25
the same angel
Gabriel comes back
00:31:59.25\00:32:03.25
and begins to explain
what this vision means
00:32:03.25\00:32:07.26
so now I want you to
follow me skip over chapter 9
00:32:07.26\00:32:11.26
and I'm going to
read verse 21 to 23
00:32:11.26\00:32:15.26
Daniel 9: verse 21
00:32:15.26\00:32:19.27
The Bible says, and
this is Daniel speaking
00:32:19.27\00:32:23.27
yes, while I was
speaking in prayer the man
00:32:23.27\00:32:27.28
(who?) Gabriel whom I had seen
00:32:27.28\00:32:31.28
in the vision at the
beginning being caused to fly
00:32:31.28\00:32:35.28
swiftly reached me about
the time of the evening offering
00:32:35.28\00:32:39.29
and he informed me and
talked with me and said
00:32:39.29\00:32:43.29
oh Daniel, I have now
come forth to give you
00:32:43.29\00:32:47.30
skill to understand. at the
beginning of your supplications
00:32:47.30\00:32:51.30
the command went out
and I have come to tell you
00:32:51.30\00:32:55.30
you are greatly beloved
therefore consider the matter
00:32:55.30\00:32:59.31
and understand
the vision now let's
00:32:59.31\00:33:03.31
pause there for a
second Notice what angel
00:33:03.31\00:33:07.32
come to Daniel in
chapter 9 who was Gabriel
00:33:07.32\00:33:11.32
he was the same angel that led
00:33:11.32\00:33:15.32
Daniel at
beginning all the way back in
00:33:15.32\00:33:19.33
chapter 8 when it
talks about the 2300 days
00:33:19.33\00:33:23.33
so clearly chapter 9 and
chapter 8 are integrally link
00:33:23.33\00:33:27.34
together then the angel goes on
00:33:27.34\00:33:31.34
to explain things here is
what he does here is where we
00:33:31.34\00:33:35.34
actually studied last night.
I will not review the 70 weeks
00:33:35.34\00:33:39.35
from last night here is
what hapens the whole prophey
00:33:39.35\00:33:43.35
is 2300 days but
the angel knows that
00:33:43.35\00:33:47.36
the 2300 days is irrelevant
to Daniel so he actually
00:33:47.36\00:33:51.39
breaks this prophecy
into 2 and takes the first
00:33:51.39\00:33:55.36
70 weeks and in verses 24 to 27
00:33:55.36\00:33:59.37
he explains it to daniel
because the first 70 weeks
00:33:59.37\00:34:03.37
are relevant to
Daniel and the Jewish people
00:34:03.37\00:34:07.38
and the city of
Jerusalem but the whole 2300 day
00:34:07.38\00:34:11.38
prophecy that's for the
people living near the time
00:34:11.38\00:34:15.38
of the end and so here
is what we are going to
00:34:15.38\00:34:19.39
verses 24-27 start go
through the 70 week prophecy
00:34:19.39\00:34:23.43
now I'm not going to go though
that again becuase that took an
00:34:23.43\00:34:27.40
hour last night so I can't do
that for an hour right now. if
you weren't here last night
00:34:27.40\00:34:31.37
I'm going to go really fast
so make sure that you get the
00:34:31.37\00:34:35.40
handout to fill in the blanks.
but when the 70 weeks prophecy
00:34:35.40\00:34:39.41
began it the same
begining date as the 2300
00:34:39.41\00:34:43.41
day prophecy and in verse 25 the
00:34:43.41\00:34:47.42
angel told daniel when
this prophecy would begin
00:34:47.42\00:34:51.42
whenever there was
a command put forth to
00:34:51.42\00:34:55.46
restore and build Jerusalem
that is when the 2300 day
00:34:55.46\00:34:59.46
and the 70 week
prophecy would begin keep in
00:34:59.46\00:35:03.43
mind israel is in captivity at
the time to the persian empire
00:35:03.43\00:35:07.44
but Artaxerxes
made a decree that in
00:35:07.44\00:35:11.44
457 BC any Jew who
wanted to go to Jerusalem
00:35:11.44\00:35:15.44
and rebuild the city
could and 457 is the beginning
00:35:15.44\00:35:19.48
date of this
prophecy so if I add
00:35:19.48\00:35:23.49
2300 years because remember
00:35:23.49\00:35:27.49
A day repersents
what in Bible prophecy one
00:35:27.49\00:35:31.49
year if I add 2300 year to
00:35:31.49\00:35:35.46
457 BC what year
00:35:35.46\00:35:39.47
do we come to?
00:35:39.47\00:35:43.47
1844 now I really
00:35:43.47\00:35:47.51
want to let this sink in so that
we understand what this prophecy
00:35:47.51\00:35:51.51
is saying 200
years ago there was
00:35:51.51\00:35:55.52
a group that thought well
1844 Oh that must the year Jesus
00:35:55.52\00:35:59.52
will come that is not
what the prophecy is saying
00:35:59.52\00:36:03.53
what the prophecy is
saying that 1844 marks
00:36:03.53\00:36:07.50
the period when the Heavenly
Sanctuary would be cleansed
00:36:07.50\00:36:11.53
and that marks a time
of beginning of judgment
00:36:11.53\00:36:15.54
it marks a begining of
a period which the bible
00:36:15.54\00:36:19.54
call the time of
the end it tells us
00:36:19.54\00:36:23.55
it is time when Jesus is
getting ready to blot out sin
00:36:23.55\00:36:27.58
forever that Jesus is
preparing to come so the world
00:36:27.58\00:36:31.59
needs to turn
thier eyes upon Jesus
00:36:31.59\00:36:35.59
1844 is the beginning
of the time of the end
00:36:35.59\00:36:39.59
we are now living in a period
of earth's history that prophecy
00:36:39.59\00:36:43.57
identifiesas the time
of the end when Jesus is
00:36:43.57\00:36:47.57
soon to come what
this is telling us
00:36:47.57\00:36:52.01
is that for 170 years now
00:36:52.01\00:36:56.01
we have been
living a period of history
00:36:56.01\00:37:00.08
that Daniel calls
the time of the end and
00:37:00.08\00:37:04.02
ever since 1844 many
00:37:04.02\00:37:07.39
of the prophecies and
end time signs of the Bible
00:37:07.39\00:37:11.36
have been
steadily being fulfilled
00:37:11.36\00:37:15.36
what it is telling me?
this prophecy is simply
00:37:15.36\00:37:19.37
saying it is time for
us to wake up it is time
00:37:19.37\00:37:23.37
for us to realize that
Jesus is closer than we think
00:37:23.37\00:37:27.38
it's time to turn our eyes
00:37:27.38\00:37:31.41
upon the Cross of Calvary
00:37:31.41\00:37:35.42
I wanna end with this story
00:37:35.42\00:37:40.42
there was a woman who got
off of work rather late on night
00:37:40.42\00:37:44.43
and she hopped in her
car and she started driving
00:37:44.43\00:37:49.06
down the highway she
looked in her rearview mirror
00:37:49.06\00:37:52.90
and she noticed that there was a
large truck far in the distance
00:37:52.90\00:37:57.71
she didn't think much of it
becasue truckers drive a lot
00:37:57.71\00:38:01.71
during the night on the
interstate but this trucker
seemed to be going rather fast
00:38:01.71\00:38:05.71
and after a few minutes
he came up right behind her
00:38:05.71\00:38:09.75
he was within inches of her
bumper and all of a sudden he
00:38:09.75\00:38:13.76
started honking his horn
flashing his lights and waving
00:38:13.76\00:38:17.79
his hands the women wondered
what in the world he is doing
00:38:17.79\00:38:21.66
she at first though maybe I'm
going fast enough for him so she
00:38:21.66\00:38:25.77
sped up when she sped up he
sped up and he remained inches
00:38:25.77\00:38:29.80
behind her bumper honking
his horn flashing his lights
00:38:29.80\00:38:33.81
waving his hands well the women
thought maybe I'll slow down
00:38:33.81\00:38:37.85
so he can pass me, when
she slowed down he slowed down
00:38:37.85\00:38:41.85
and he continued to honk his
horn and flash his lights and
00:38:41.85\00:38:45.89
wave his hands she thought
I'm going get in the left lane
00:38:45.89\00:38:49.89
so he can pass me in
the right he followed her
00:38:49.89\00:38:53.93
he followed her to the right
when she switch to the left lane
00:38:53.93\00:38:57.90
he switch to the left lane and
he continued remaining inches
00:38:57.90\00:39:01.94
behind her bumper honking
his horn flashing his lights and
00:39:01.94\00:39:05.94
waving his hands finally
the women became terrified
00:39:05.94\00:39:09.98
and she was convinced that this
trucker must be evil that is up
00:39:09.98\00:39:13.98
to no good he is gonna runher
off the road so she put the
pedal to the metal and
00:39:13.98\00:39:18.02
sped down the highway and
got off at the erery first exit
00:39:18.02\00:39:22.02
she turn on to a local road, and
00:39:22.02\00:39:26.06
turned left and came to a
screeching halt inside of a gas
00:39:26.06\00:39:30.03
statiom she opened the door and
ran screaming into the station
00:39:30.03\00:39:34.07
yelling for help
this same truck got off
00:39:34.07\00:39:38.07
at the same exit
careened around the same corner
00:39:38.07\00:39:42.11
came to a screeching hult in the
parking lot of the gas station
00:39:42.11\00:39:46.11
and trucker jumped out
of his cab, ran up to the
00:39:46.11\00:39:50.15
back door of the
car opened it up,
00:39:50.15\00:39:54.19
and he pulled out
of the back seat a man
00:39:54.19\00:39:58.19
with a knife in his hand
00:39:58.19\00:40:02.20
see the trucker from
his high vantage point
00:40:02.20\00:40:06.23
was able to look down into the
window and he could see there
00:40:06.23\00:40:10.27
was the enemy in the
back seat the women was
00:40:10.27\00:40:14.31
in danger and she
didn't even know it
00:40:14.31\00:40:18.31
and all this time it turned out
00:40:18.31\00:40:22.35
she was running
from the wrong person
00:40:22.35\00:40:26.39
she was running from
the only one who could
00:40:26.39\00:40:30.43
save her Jesus
00:40:30.43\00:40:34.46
is a lot like that
trucker from His high
00:40:34.46\00:40:38.47
vantage point he can
look down into our lives
00:40:38.47\00:40:42.50
He see the temptations
that Satan bombards us with
00:40:42.50\00:40:46.84
the deceptions He see
the trials and suffering
00:40:46.84\00:40:50.88
that we go through but because
of his unconditional love
00:40:50.88\00:40:54.88
Jesus unrelentlessly pursues
us just like that trucker
00:40:54.88\00:40:58.89
when we speed up Jesus speeds up
00:40:58.89\00:41:02.92
when we slow down Jesus
slows down when we switch lanes
00:41:02.92\00:41:06.93
and try to lose Him Jesus
switch lanes with us because
00:41:06.93\00:41:10.90
He does not
want let us go but at
00:41:10.90\00:41:14.90
some point in our
life we have got to
00:41:14.90\00:41:18.94
realize it is time
00:41:18.94\00:41:22.94
to stop running
from the wrong person
00:41:22.94\00:41:26.98
it is to stop
running from the only
00:41:26.98\00:41:30.99
one who can save us
00:41:30.99\00:41:35.02
that is why revelation
says in revelation 3:20
00:41:35.02\00:41:39.43
Revelation says Jesus is
waiting to enter our lives
00:41:51.47\00:41:55.51
it pretty much
pictures him standing at the
00:41:55.51\00:41:59.55
door of our heart
and we basically have two
00:41:59.55\00:42:03.59
choices. I can choose to
00:42:03.59\00:42:07.62
open the door and let him in
00:42:07.62\00:42:11.66
or I can keep
the door closed and
00:42:11.66\00:42:15.66
I can keep running
00:42:15.66\00:42:19.73
from the the wrong
person the bible question
00:42:19.73\00:42:23.74
to you tonight is this, When
00:42:23.74\00:42:28.08
will you open the door?
When will you stop running?
00:42:28.08\00:42:32.98
When will you
stop making excuses?
00:42:32.98\00:42:37.39
When will we chose to turn
00:42:37.39\00:42:41.39
our eves upon
Jesus and follow him
00:42:41.39\00:42:46.39

our minds and all of our souls
