The harvest truly is plenteous,
but the laborers are few.
00:00:01.98\00:00:03.30
Pray ye therefore
the Lord of the harvest,
00:00:03.96\00:00:06.21
that he will, he will send
forth laborers into his harvest.
00:00:06.44\00:00:10.37
Also, I heard the
voice of the Lord saying,
00:00:10.38\00:00:12.97
"Whom shall I send?
And who will go for us?"
00:00:13.64\00:00:17.44
Then said I, "Here
am I, send me, send me."
00:00:18.05\00:00:22.87
Life on the Edge will enable you
00:00:22.88\00:00:25.24
to be an effective
harvester for the Lord.
00:00:25.25\00:00:27.35
We now invite you
into our classroom
00:00:27.93\00:00:30.12
to come, experience Life.
00:00:30.13\00:00:33.82
Welcome again to the
Lay Institute for Evangelism
00:00:43.37\00:00:46.26
here in Groveland, Florida.
00:00:46.27\00:00:47.86
We are getting
ready to begin right now
00:00:48.19\00:00:49.77
the second half of
our judgment study.
00:00:50.10\00:00:51.95
Judgment Part 2 and I guess
00:00:52.27\00:00:53.91
you could say to
Judgment part 2, part 1.
00:00:53.92\00:00:56.74
Because it's gonna
be a two part series
00:00:57.35\00:00:58.65
to get judgment part 2 done.
00:00:58.66\00:00:59.89
And so it sounds
a little confusing,
00:01:00.18\00:01:01.71
but I know it's not that bad.
00:01:01.72\00:01:02.85
And so, I wanna
welcome you at home as well.
00:01:03.14\00:01:05.04
I'm glad you're
joining us again,
00:01:05.05\00:01:06.46
this is gonna be a,
I've read a long study.
00:01:06.47\00:01:08.31
Well, actually it gonna be a
little hard press to get two,
00:01:08.32\00:01:09.31
this one study in on,
on two one hour sessions.
00:01:11.42\00:01:14.06
But if you'll listen
fast and have your hands
00:01:14.07\00:01:16.50
ready to go and turn your Bible.
00:01:16.51\00:01:17.48
Well, I think
we'll get it done within,
00:01:17.49\00:01:18.82
within a two hour span.
And with all of us here,
00:01:18.83\00:01:21.58
stand a little late
today just to finish up
00:01:22.62\00:01:24.77
on this one
here Judgment Part 2.
00:01:24.78\00:01:26.57
And we're gonna
begin by; as we always do,
00:01:26.88\00:01:30.65
on the screen over
here, the name of the study is
00:01:30.66\00:01:32.60
the 2300 Days or
the Judgment Part 2.
00:01:32.61\00:01:36.06
And that's the title
of the study the 2300 Days
00:01:36.07\00:01:38.78
or you can call it
the Judgment Part 2.
00:01:39.08\00:01:41.11
And the abbreviation
for Judgment Part 2 is J2
00:01:41.45\00:01:45.62
and you'll see it on the next
slide I think when we get there.
00:01:45.63\00:01:47.52
I might just look
at all Judgment 2,
00:01:47.53\00:01:49.24
but the abbreviation is J2,
00:01:49.58\00:01:51.01
when we get the
marking you'll see that J2.
00:01:51.29\00:01:53.73
And the purpose of the
study look on the screen,
00:01:54.06\00:01:55.88
now see the purpose of
the study and the purpose is:
00:01:55.89\00:01:58.74
That the end-time that
the pre-advent judgment
00:01:58.75\00:02:01.60
commenced in 1844AD
when Jesus Christ entered
00:02:01.91\00:02:05.22
into the Most Holy Place
of the Heavenly Sanctuary.
00:02:05.23\00:02:07.31
That's what the purpose
of the study is to show that
00:02:07.32\00:02:09.85
in the end of time here
that, or there was sometime
00:02:09.86\00:02:12.38
toward the end
there was a judgment
00:02:12.39\00:02:14.24
that begin what we
call pre-advent judgment.
00:02:14.25\00:02:16.75
Now, that sounds like
kind of strange terminology
00:02:16.76\00:02:19.10
doesn't it? The
pre-advent judgment.
00:02:19.11\00:02:20.54
And it simply means
that the judgment takes place
00:02:20.83\00:02:22.68
before the advent of Christ
or the second advent of Christ,
00:02:22.69\00:02:25.02
that's what
we're gonna show here.
00:02:25.03\00:02:26.10
And if you think about
it, it only make sense,
00:02:26.39\00:02:27.68
that you have a
judgment that were take place
00:02:28.50\00:02:30.25
before Jesus comes
back with his reward
00:02:30.53\00:02:32.21
to give to every one, right?
00:02:32.49\00:02:33.46
And so that's
what we're gonna be.
00:02:33.47\00:02:34.57
That the purpose of
the study is to show that,
00:02:34.84\00:02:36.38
you know that
begin in the year 1844,
00:02:36.39\00:02:38.38
that might be new to some folks,
00:02:38.64\00:02:39.99
but that's okay by the
end of the study Lord willing.
00:02:40.22\00:02:42.89
And if you pay attention
00:02:43.37\00:02:44.34
you understand why
that it is in 1844.
00:02:44.35\00:02:46.79
Now, the center, we're
gonna center the study here,
00:02:47.40\00:02:49.99
the 2300 day
study is: Jesus is fair,
00:02:50.00\00:02:52.77
therefore He judges us
before He gives us our reward.
00:02:53.76\00:02:56.35
Now, that doesn't make sense,
wouldn't be unfair for Jesus
00:02:57.00\00:02:59.71
to say okay your judged
whether you're saved or lost
00:02:59.72\00:03:02.21
without first
judging right, to pronounce,
00:03:02.22\00:03:05.63
I'm sorry may I put it
another way to do that,
00:03:05.64\00:03:07.20
to do the last
phase of the judgment
00:03:07.21\00:03:08.71
actually
pronounce sentence on you.
00:03:08.72\00:03:10.38
Without first
judging, of whether or not
00:03:10.59\00:03:11.83
you should be in
heaven or be lost, right.
00:03:11.84\00:03:13.96
So, He's gonna do that before,
00:03:14.22\00:03:16.32
before He actually
comes and gives us our reward
00:03:16.56\00:03:18.78
and you know the
Bible is complete,
00:03:19.08\00:03:20.24
has a lot of examples
00:03:21.18\00:03:22.58
in the Bible of that
very thing happening.
00:03:22.59\00:03:24.75
You remember when
Adam and Eve sinned?
00:03:24.76\00:03:26.05
Right, you remember the
story Adam and Eve sinned,
00:03:27.05\00:03:28.56
what did God do? Did He
just come down in the garden
00:03:28.79\00:03:30.38
and say, okay, you've
sinned, get out of here.
00:03:30.39\00:03:31.97
Is that how He did it? Did
God know that they had sinned?
00:03:32.18\00:03:34.83
Absolutely He did,
but that He perform
00:03:35.52\00:03:36.81
an act of judgment
before He kicked them out.
00:03:37.43\00:03:39.50
He sure did, He
comes down and He says,
00:03:39.86\00:03:41.45
hey what are you guys doing?
00:03:41.46\00:03:43.24
Who told you,
you were naked Adam?
00:03:44.07\00:03:45.20
Adam have you
eaten from the tree?
00:03:45.21\00:03:46.19
Why is he
asking those questions,
00:03:46.47\00:03:47.44
did He know the answer?
00:03:47.45\00:03:48.42
But God comes down
and He asks questions.
00:03:48.87\00:03:50.20
Adam, have you
eaten from the tree?
00:03:50.21\00:03:51.32
Adam, who told
you, you were naked?
00:03:51.63\00:03:53.29
And then Adam answers
and blames the woman right,
00:03:54.61\00:03:56.24
then he asks
the woman questions,
00:03:56.25\00:03:57.90
woman you know what
is that, you have done?
00:03:57.91\00:03:59.79
And she confesses out of her
own mouth what she's done right.
00:03:59.80\00:04:02.00
And after he does the judgment,
00:04:02.19\00:04:03.55
after he judges them
what does he then do?
00:04:03.56\00:04:05.55
He pronounces sentence.
But now it's funny because
00:04:06.07\00:04:08.87
people wonder why is it that
God has to spend time judging.
00:04:08.88\00:04:11.65
After all doesn't he
already know everything,
00:04:11.97\00:04:13.75
but isn't it interesting
that he does the judgment
00:04:14.80\00:04:16.48
and not in order so that
00:04:16.49\00:04:17.48
he can know
everything because he does.
00:04:17.49\00:04:19.23
But so that you and I
can't say that's unfair,
00:04:19.45\00:04:21.29
he actually spends
time looking over things
00:04:22.23\00:04:23.76
and to make sure
that Adam and Eve
00:04:23.77\00:04:24.93
actually end up
confessing themselves,
00:04:24.94\00:04:26.26
Oh! We've done wrong.
00:04:26.27\00:04:27.46
Even though God
knew before He came.
00:04:27.55\00:04:28.89
So they couldn't
say, it was unfair,
00:04:29.54\00:04:30.56
he kicked us out unjustly.
00:04:30.57\00:04:31.70
And then you go
just a little bit further
00:04:31.98\00:04:33.56
into the Bible right there to
00:04:33.57\00:04:34.56
Genesis chapter 4,
when Cain and Abel.
00:04:34.57\00:04:36.81
You know, remember the
story of the Cain and Abel?
00:04:37.77\00:04:39.02
Cain slew his brother Abel.
00:04:39.34\00:04:40.66
And then God comes
down and He says to Cain,
00:04:41.18\00:04:42.71
What have you done?
Where is your brother?
00:04:43.50\00:04:44.87
And Cain says, am
I brother's keeper?
00:04:45.47\00:04:47.76
And the Lord says to him,
00:04:48.04\00:04:49.24
that his blood
is crying out to me,
00:04:50.21\00:04:51.62
I know you've killed him right.
00:04:51.63\00:04:52.65
And then Cain
confesses it for himself,
00:04:52.66\00:04:54.54
he's like well yeah
I killed him, whatever.
00:04:54.55\00:04:56.46
And then Cain, after God
makes Cain realize his sin,
00:04:56.73\00:05:00.38
what happens to
Cain? He has to leave,
00:05:00.39\00:05:02.47
he has to go away as well.
00:05:02.97\00:05:03.98
And so you find that time
and again in the Bible that
00:05:04.42\00:05:06.22
before God ever pronounces
sentence on something.
00:05:06.23\00:05:08.91
He actually comes down
and does an investigation.
00:05:08.92\00:05:11.14
I can go to another story.
00:05:11.15\00:05:12.31
We got the story
of Sodom and Gomorrah.
00:05:12.32\00:05:14.16
Do you remember the
story of Sodom and Gomorrah?
00:05:15.01\00:05:16.36
God sends the angels down
to into Sodom and Gomorrah.
00:05:16.62\00:05:18.98
And he says I'm gonna go
see if this thing is really,
00:05:18.99\00:05:20.79
how, what's going on
here, any the angels went in.
00:05:20.80\00:05:22.85
They found out the
city was just that bad
00:05:22.86\00:05:24.37
and then after
the investigation,
00:05:24.65\00:05:26.17
the angels got
everybody out there was
00:05:26.18\00:05:28.07
"saved" at that time, right?
00:05:28.37\00:05:29.83
And then the city was
destroyed, The Tower of Babel,
00:05:29.84\00:05:32.00
the men are
building the Tower of Babel.
00:05:33.23\00:05:34.34
And God says, let us go
down and see what's going on.
00:05:34.35\00:05:36.31
In Genesis chapter 11 there,
if you wanna read Genesis 11
00:05:36.89\00:05:39.12
and after they go down
and look what's going on,
00:05:39.41\00:05:40.99
then what happens?
He pronounces sentence
00:05:41.60\00:05:43.76
and they had a
confuse languages.
00:05:43.77\00:05:45.08
So, time and again in
the Bible, you find God
00:05:45.09\00:05:46.86
doing an investigation
and then pronouncing sentence
00:05:47.09\00:05:49.73
after the investigation,
so is that makes any sense?
00:05:49.74\00:05:51.69
So, it only makes
sense if he's gonna do
00:05:51.93\00:05:53.20
the greatest investigation
ever, whether or not,
00:05:53.21\00:05:55.00
you and I actually gonna
be in the kingdom or not.
00:05:55.48\00:05:57.58
That before he'd
pronounce sentence on us,
00:05:57.82\00:05:59.94
he will investigate.
00:06:00.21\00:06:01.43
And so we call
that investigation
00:06:01.78\00:06:03.47
that the pre-advent judgment
or the pre-advent investigation.
00:06:03.48\00:06:06.77
And so let us go on
and look at slide number
00:06:07.06\00:06:09.04
or slide you're gonna have,
there you go The 2300 Days J2,
00:06:09.05\00:06:12.09
and there are gonna be
14 slides in this study.
00:06:12.33\00:06:14.33
14 texts I should
say in this study.
00:06:15.29\00:06:17.02
And we're gonna
start in Romans 2:16
00:06:17.36\00:06:19.04
and we're gonna
end in the last book
00:06:19.05\00:06:20.36
of the Old Testament,
Malachi 3:1 through 6.
00:06:20.37\00:06:23.25
So, as we get
into the study today,
00:06:23.26\00:06:24.93
before we open up the Bible
and get into the studying part
00:06:25.22\00:06:27.40
and opening up God's word.
Let's once again bow our heads
00:06:27.41\00:06:29.36
and ask God to be
with us as we study.
00:06:29.37\00:06:31.70
Father in heaven, I
wanna thank you that
00:06:32.82\00:06:34.73
you have so abundantly
blessed us with another day,
00:06:34.74\00:06:37.14
here at LIFE and of
life. And I pray Lord that
00:06:37.15\00:06:40.74
as we study the judgment seeing
here that you will give us
00:06:40.75\00:06:43.25
clear minds and
you'll help us to understand
00:06:43.26\00:06:44.95
what it is that you
want us to know here.
00:06:44.96\00:06:46.45
That the Judgment
2 is also good news.
00:06:47.29\00:06:48.99
Father, for many people, they
dread the idea of a Judgment,
00:06:49.51\00:06:52.09
but when we know the judge,
when we know our attorney,
00:06:52.39\00:06:55.45
and it being the
same person Lord,
00:06:55.73\00:06:57.06
we know that we have
a good... a good chance.
00:06:57.07\00:06:59.96
As matter of fact
we had, we can't lose.
00:07:00.20\00:07:01.84
So, Lord, I pray that through
this we'll see your goodness
00:07:02.45\00:07:04.89
and your mercy and your
love in Jesus name, amen.
00:07:04.90\00:07:07.57
All right, before we
get to the first text part.
00:07:08.58\00:07:12.61
Well, now let's just
go in and get into this,
00:07:13.15\00:07:14.63
what we're gonna show right now?
00:07:14.64\00:07:15.63
Sometimes people will
say that, you know judgment,
00:07:15.64\00:07:17.77
it be like took
place at the cross,
00:07:18.37\00:07:19.73
have you heard
that? And they have right,
00:07:19.74\00:07:21.53
a pretty good
reason for saying that,
00:07:21.54\00:07:22.92
there is a text
in John chapter 12
00:07:22.93\00:07:25.00
and verse 30 through
31, 32 around in there.
00:07:25.01\00:07:27.58
When Jesus says: Now is
the judgment of this world:
00:07:27.93\00:07:30.61
now is the Prince of
this world be cast out.
00:07:30.62\00:07:32.19
And I, if I be
lifted up from the earth,
00:07:32.20\00:07:33.52
will draw all men
unto me Jesus says.
00:07:33.53\00:07:35.19
I see there it says: Now
is the judgment of this world.
00:07:35.81\00:07:37.74
But, were there judgments all
throughout the Old Testament?
00:07:38.21\00:07:41.20
Yeah, there were
judgments that took place
00:07:42.36\00:07:43.37
all through the Old Testament.
The children of Israel mess up
00:07:43.38\00:07:45.21
and God will
pass judgment on them,
00:07:45.22\00:07:46.55
and also when you look at
just Adam and Eve and others,
00:07:46.90\00:07:49.66
those were
judgments that were passed.
00:07:49.67\00:07:51.13
But they were not the judgment
00:07:51.47\00:07:52.66
of what we called the
investigated judgment,
00:07:52.89\00:07:54.64
where Christ
pronounces saved and lost.
00:07:54.65\00:07:56.94
And what we find the
judgment of this world,
00:07:57.63\00:07:59.07
the Prince of this
world being cast out.
00:07:59.08\00:08:00.39
What happened when
Jesus died on the cross?
00:08:00.40\00:08:01.93
Was there a, was
there a sort of a,
00:08:02.79\00:08:04.28
a sort of judgment
that took place right there?
00:08:05.01\00:08:06.63
Surely there was. At that point,
00:08:07.31\00:08:08.91
it showed God's
love and His goodness
00:08:08.92\00:08:10.41
and it show the devil
for the scoundrel he was.
00:08:10.68\00:08:12.70
And at that time,
there was no longer
00:08:13.35\00:08:14.83
any questions in
anybody's minds, as far as,
00:08:14.84\00:08:16.90
the other worlds and
the angels in other places,
00:08:16.91\00:08:18.92
how bad the devil
was, right? Prior to that,
00:08:18.93\00:08:21.06
they might have
said, well maybe,
00:08:21.07\00:08:22.04
Lucifer could be
right here or maybe he's,
00:08:22.05\00:08:23.60
he's wrong, we
can't really be sure.
00:08:23.61\00:08:24.74
But when he really
showed himself for who He was?
00:08:24.75\00:08:26.43
And had Christ
crucified on the cross, he was,
00:08:26.44\00:08:29.07
he was instigating the
people to do those things.
00:08:29.31\00:08:30.92
At that time, you
could probably imagine that,
00:08:31.34\00:08:34.29
the only people who haven't
really made up their mind
00:08:34.30\00:08:36.09
as who they want to
follow yet is you and me.
00:08:36.10\00:08:37.85
And we know that it was
not the investigative judgment
00:08:38.49\00:08:40.73
that took place right
there, how do we know that?
00:08:41.06\00:08:42.71
Look at our first text,
Romans 2:16, Romans chapter 2,
00:08:43.13\00:08:46.19
in your Bibles it's
after the Book of Acts,
00:08:47.20\00:08:49.02
it's in the New Testament.
00:08:49.03\00:08:50.12
Romans Chapter 2,
we're gonna go through
00:08:50.77\00:08:52.37
a few texts here that all
basically say the same thing.
00:08:52.38\00:08:55.43
Romans chapter 2 and
we're gonna look at verse 16.
00:08:55.73\00:08:59.31
I think I'll read this
one myself, Romans 2:16.
00:09:00.07\00:09:02.67
It says, "In the day when
God shall judge the secrets
00:09:03.03\00:09:06.41
of men by Jesus Christ
according to my gospel."
00:09:06.42\00:09:09.86
So, so he's
looking here, writing here,
00:09:10.18\00:09:12.45
Paul's writing
the Book of Romans
00:09:12.46\00:09:13.48
there is a slide on
the screen, Romans 2:16.
00:09:13.49\00:09:15.50
Paul is writing
here to the Romans
00:09:16.00\00:09:17.57
and you look what
he says here. He says,
00:09:17.84\00:09:19.12
"In the day when God
shall judge the secrets of men
00:09:19.43\00:09:22.99
by Jesus Christ
according to my gospel."
00:09:23.25\00:09:24.62
According to Paul at this time,
00:09:24.91\00:09:26.24
had the
judgment taken place yet?
00:09:26.85\00:09:28.16
No, because, how
do you know that?
00:09:28.49\00:09:29.76
Because the word
shall put it into the,
00:09:29.77\00:09:31.72
to the future, right? And
so, a future tense judgment
00:09:32.08\00:09:34.95
from the time Paul's
talking about right here.
00:09:34.96\00:09:36.33
He says, he says, and he,
00:09:36.34\00:09:37.60
that God shall
judge the secrets of men.
00:09:37.61\00:09:40.14
So, right now we're
finding it's yet future.
00:09:40.78\00:09:42.93
Now, we also, we're having
00:09:43.89\00:09:44.99
the Acts chapter 17 and
verse 31 the same thing,
00:09:45.00\00:09:47.44
we'll look on the screen here,
00:09:47.45\00:09:48.64
if someone wants to get that one
00:09:48.65\00:09:49.62
ready to read,
Acts 17 and verse 31.
00:09:49.63\00:09:50.62
We go right here to Mike Mudd,
00:09:53.15\00:09:55.93
you can read that
when we get to it,
00:09:55.94\00:09:57.19
I'm gonna get there
myself. Acts chapter 17.
00:09:57.20\00:09:59.37
I know they call
everybody by their first name,
00:10:02.42\00:10:03.66
but Mike Mudd always
calls me Phillip Sizemore,
00:10:03.67\00:10:05.32
so I'm gonna have the calling
by his first and last name.
00:10:05.33\00:10:07.53
And so, he's
getting ready to read
00:10:07.84\00:10:09.12
Acts chapter 17 and verse 31.
00:10:09.13\00:10:10.88
I really, I really
appreciate Acts chapter 17:31,
00:10:11.42\00:10:13.73
where it says, "In the times
of ignorance God blinked at,
00:10:13.74\00:10:15.64
but now he commands all
men everywhere to repent."
00:10:15.65\00:10:17.48
But then the next verse there,
00:10:18.20\00:10:19.17
the one we're coming in
on here is also another text
00:10:19.18\00:10:21.51
that's showing us
that God is yet putting
00:10:21.52\00:10:23.42
the judgment at a
future place, a future time.
00:10:23.43\00:10:26.12
And this is Paul
preaching once again
00:10:26.13\00:10:27.52
and he's
preaching to a bunch of,
00:10:27.98\00:10:30.00
of heathens, right,
and they are Athens.
00:10:30.01\00:10:32.26
And he gives them
a, he gives them a
00:10:32.56\00:10:34.16
a pretty pointed message here.
00:10:34.17\00:10:36.06
Mike, you wanna read that
for me? Acts 17 and verse 31.
00:10:36.07\00:10:39.01
"Because he
hath appointed a day,
00:10:39.68\00:10:41.25
in which he will judge
the world in righteousness,
00:10:41.58\00:10:43.86
by that man whom
he hath ordained;
00:10:44.19\00:10:46.37
whereof he hath given
assurance unto all men,
00:10:46.65\00:10:49.45
in that he hath
raised him from the dead."
00:10:49.65\00:10:51.70
So, you found in
verse 31 there once again
00:10:51.71\00:10:53.47
Paul preaching, preaching
to these heathen people
00:10:53.48\00:10:55.32
and he says, because
he has appointed a day,
00:10:55.33\00:10:57.12
in which he will
judge. In other words,
00:10:57.45\00:11:00.81
has it happened yet? No.
00:11:00.82\00:11:02.42
No, so it kind of does
away with the whole idea
00:11:02.43\00:11:04.25
that the judgment took
place at the cross, doesn't it?
00:11:04.26\00:11:05.98
Because had it
taken place at the cross,
00:11:06.27\00:11:07.74
then it wouldn't
make any sense for Paul
00:11:08.39\00:11:10.28
here in two
different places to say,
00:11:10.29\00:11:11.46
hey the judgment is yet down,
00:11:11.47\00:11:13.24
down the road in the
future, it's going to take place
00:11:13.25\00:11:14.80
a little further down the road,
are you following what we're,
00:11:14.81\00:11:16.82
are you following what
we're talking about so far?
00:11:16.83\00:11:18.36
Now, not only do
we find that there
00:11:18.66\00:11:19.79
we also find in
the Book of Revelation.
00:11:19.80\00:11:21.51
Revelation chapter 22,
Revelation 22nd chapter,
00:11:21.52\00:11:24.82
we're gonna find
out this judgment
00:11:24.83\00:11:25.91
one day will actually end.
Revelation 22 verse 11 and 12.
00:11:25.92\00:11:30.47
Jesus speaking
here, actually some Bibles
00:11:34.13\00:11:37.11
actually have it in
red there and who has it,
00:11:37.12\00:11:40.92
and it has it ready?
Shelida, do you have it ready?
00:11:40.93\00:11:42.92
Yes. Would you like to read it?
00:11:42.93\00:11:44.35
Revelation chapter
22 and verse 11 and 12.
00:11:45.00\00:11:47.83
"He that is unjust,
let him be unjust still:
00:11:50.58\00:11:52.96
and he which is filthy,
let him be filthy still:
00:11:53.64\00:11:56.55
and he that is righteous,
let him be righteous still:
00:11:57.21\00:12:00.14
and he that is holy,
let him be holy still.
00:12:00.76\00:12:03.45
And, behold, I come quickly;
and my reward is with me,
00:12:04.14\00:12:07.09
to give every man
according as his work shall be."
00:12:07.43\00:12:10.29
Isn't that interesting?
So, there's a statement made
00:12:10.30\00:12:12.56
here in Revelation chapter 22
where Jesus actually stands up
00:12:12.57\00:12:15.08
at one point and says, okay
00:12:15.09\00:12:16.70
the filthy is
gonna remain filthy,
00:12:16.71\00:12:17.88
the righteous is
gonna be remain righteous,
00:12:18.17\00:12:19.83
the holy is
gonna be remain holy.
00:12:20.14\00:12:21.16
And then what's he do next,
what's the next thing he does?
00:12:21.48\00:12:23.30
He comes and what's he
do? He brings the reward.
00:12:23.64\00:12:26.63
Now, doesn't it
only make sense that
00:12:26.64\00:12:27.94
Jesus would finish the judgment,
He would finish His judgment
00:12:27.95\00:12:30.38
seen as you find clearly
here in Revelation chapter 22
00:12:30.39\00:12:32.70
he makes the, he
makes the statement
00:12:33.00\00:12:34.25
or the announcement
that everything is gonna stay
00:12:34.26\00:12:36.04
as it is, if
you're holy, you're holy,
00:12:36.05\00:12:37.75
if you're, if you're
righteous you're righteous,
00:12:37.76\00:12:38.91
if you're filthy you're filthy,
no changing it this point.
00:12:38.92\00:12:41.19
Probation you can
say is closed, right?
00:12:41.45\00:12:42.89
There is a close of probation.
And then the very next thing
00:12:42.90\00:12:44.88
you read about, he
comes to give the rewards.
00:12:44.89\00:12:47.18
Now, it wouldn't make sense for
him to come and give rewards,
00:12:47.45\00:12:49.40
and then once he
gets here and say, oh, oh
00:12:49.41\00:12:50.62
I'm sorry Tim, you know,
00:12:50.63\00:12:52.24
I thought you was
ready and, but you're not.
00:12:52.25\00:12:54.43
And so, you have to sorry,
I'm sorry you have to go back
00:12:54.44\00:12:56.26
and, and get that
second death thing on you,
00:12:56.27\00:12:57.92
I really hate
that for your brother.
00:12:57.93\00:12:59.67
Wouldn't make sense, would it?
00:12:59.68\00:13:00.79
But if he does all the judging
00:13:01.12\00:13:02.24
and everything
prior to him coming,
00:13:02.25\00:13:03.95
then when he
comes to give reward,
00:13:04.24\00:13:05.59
he doesn't make
any mistakes. Amen.
00:13:05.60\00:13:07.21
So, and everyone is
gonna say, hey you know, what?
00:13:07.46\00:13:08.99
He is right, he done
everything just right.
00:13:09.00\00:13:10.54
And so, that's what
we're looking at here in
00:13:10.81\00:13:12.32
and 12, that's where the
00:13:12.33\00:13:13.97
in that judgment
seems takes place.
00:13:13.98\00:13:15.67
Now, prior to
going to Acts chapter 24,
00:13:16.21\00:13:19.26
Acts 24:24 and
25 is just another,
00:13:19.27\00:13:21.41
another one of those
statements that shows
00:13:21.81\00:13:24.16
that the judgment is
yet future from Paul's day.
00:13:24.39\00:13:26.85
But I wanna go
there and you know,
00:13:27.52\00:13:29.11
one of the
reasons I wanna go here is
00:13:29.12\00:13:30.36
we're gonna make a stop of in
00:13:30.37\00:13:31.34
Revelation chapter 14
on the way over there.
00:13:31.35\00:13:33.19
Revelation 14, I
often hear this when I'm,
00:13:34.39\00:13:36.52
when I'm preaching
about the judgment,
00:13:36.53\00:13:37.77
or when I'm
preaching about certain truths
00:13:38.05\00:13:40.11
from God's word or
how people say this?
00:13:40.12\00:13:41.98
You know, you
Seventh-day Adventists
00:13:42.55\00:13:45.34
and this is what
I've heard you know.
00:13:45.70\00:13:46.72
You Seventh-day Adventists,
all you talk about is
00:13:46.96\00:13:48.79
like the Judgment and the Law
00:13:48.80\00:13:50.30
and the Sabbath and
your, your doctrine.
00:13:50.31\00:13:53.08
That's all you
talked about, but what,
00:13:53.09\00:13:54.35
why don't you just like Paul,
00:13:54.36\00:13:55.50
Paul what was the
Paul preached according,
00:13:55.51\00:13:57.05
according what we
find in the Bible,
00:13:57.06\00:13:58.19
Paul just preached
Christ and him crucified, right?
00:13:58.20\00:14:00.63
And you don't do that;
you don't preach Christ
00:14:00.64\00:14:02.19
and him crucified. Why
don't you preach the gospel?
00:14:02.20\00:14:04.78
Have you heard that before?
00:14:04.79\00:14:06.05
Have you ever
struggled with like given
00:14:06.17\00:14:07.43
a good answer
back to somebody there,
00:14:07.44\00:14:08.82
because they
almost like pin you down
00:14:08.83\00:14:10.01
like you're not
really preaching the gospel.
00:14:10.02\00:14:11.22
Let me show you
something here about Paul,
00:14:11.78\00:14:13.19
the way he preached
the gospel, you know,
00:14:13.20\00:14:14.51
sometimes we fall
into things like this
00:14:14.81\00:14:17.00
and we don't understand
what's, what, how to answer?
00:14:17.01\00:14:18.94
But if you spent a
little time studying,
00:14:19.42\00:14:20.64
you may find some,
some new interesting things.
00:14:20.65\00:14:22.20
What is the everlasting
gospel? What is the gospel?
00:14:22.44\00:14:24.28
That's a good
question, isn't that?
00:14:24.80\00:14:25.77
When someone accuses you
of not preaching the gospel
00:14:25.78\00:14:27.49
and that you goes like
you're preaching a sermon here
00:14:28.12\00:14:30.34
about the judgment and that
doesn't sound like the gospel
00:14:30.35\00:14:32.47
to a lot of people,
you know that right?
00:14:32.48\00:14:33.67
The judgment doesn't
sound like a gospel, but is it?
00:14:34.59\00:14:37.14
Look at this,
Revelation chapter 14
00:14:37.94\00:14:39.80
starting in verse 6.
"I saw another angel fly
00:14:39.81\00:14:42.80
in the midst of
heaven, having what?
00:14:42.81\00:14:44.29
Everlasting gospel. They
had the everlasting gospel.
00:14:45.02\00:14:46.86
So, this angel has
the everlasting gospel.
00:14:46.87\00:14:48.91
"To preach to them
that dwell upon the earth,
00:14:49.65\00:14:51.58
to every nation,
kindred, and tongue and people."
00:14:51.59\00:14:53.27
So, where is the
everlasting gospel gonna go to?
00:14:53.28\00:14:55.06
The whole world. The
whole world, isn't it?
00:14:55.61\00:14:57.01
It's going to the
whole world, but now look,
00:14:57.02\00:14:59.06
saying in other words,
this angel is preaching
00:14:59.34\00:15:01.74
the everlasting gospel saying.
So, here is what he is saying,
00:15:01.75\00:15:04.20
what's he is saying? The
everlasting gospel, yeah,
00:15:04.21\00:15:07.44
you're understand what
I'm going with this, right?
00:15:07.45\00:15:08.72
He's going to getting
the everlasting gospel,
00:15:08.73\00:15:10.04
and now look what it is?
Saying with a loud voice,
00:15:10.05\00:15:12.69
Fear God, and give glory to him;
00:15:12.94\00:15:15.02
for the hour of
his judgment has come:
00:15:16.05\00:15:19.43
and worship him that
made heaven, and the earth,
00:15:20.43\00:15:23.11
and the sea, and
the fountain of waters."
00:15:23.68\00:15:25.28
So, according to the Bible,
00:15:25.47\00:15:26.79
when it says the
everlasting gospel,
00:15:27.01\00:15:28.59
preaching the
everlasting gospel,
00:15:28.60\00:15:29.62
what's part of the
everlasting gospel message?
00:15:29.63\00:15:31.29
The judgment has
come. Now, you know,
00:15:31.78\00:15:33.91
Paul didn't preach
about the judgment, did he?
00:15:33.92\00:15:36.38
Go with me go Acts
chapter 24 our next text,
00:15:37.06\00:15:39.28
Acts chapter 24, now
I usually go to Acts 24
00:15:39.60\00:15:42.43
first and come back
here, it doesn't matter
00:15:42.44\00:15:43.81
you can do it either way.
Acts chapter 24 and verse 24,
00:15:43.82\00:15:47.64
you can remember
that one 24:24, right.
00:15:47.65\00:15:49.94
Acts 24:24 and you
preach the everlasting gospel
00:15:49.95\00:15:52.41
24 hours a day, right?
Twenty-four, twenty-four.
00:15:52.42\00:15:54.75
So, Acts chapter 24
starting in verse 24.
00:15:55.37\00:15:57.39
"And after certain
days when Felix came
00:15:58.44\00:16:00.45
with his wife
Drusilla, which was a Jewish,"
00:16:00.46\00:16:03.07
so this, this
Roman governor Felix
00:16:03.08\00:16:05.19
he had a wife who was a Jew.
00:16:05.20\00:16:06.41
And he sent for
Paul and heard him,
00:16:06.95\00:16:09.21
what did he hear him about?
Concerning the faith of Christ.
00:16:09.22\00:16:12.22
So, so Paul was
coming to preach to,
00:16:13.04\00:16:15.53
to Felix here about
the faith of Christ.
00:16:15.54\00:16:17.29
Look, what Paul
preaches? And he being Paul, "
00:16:17.54\00:16:19.99
As he reasoned of
righteousness, temperance,
00:16:20.74\00:16:23.94
and the judgment to
come, Felix trembled,
00:16:24.50\00:16:28.03
and answered and he
say, Go way for this time,
00:16:28.04\00:16:29.87
when I have a convenient
season I'll call for you."
00:16:29.88\00:16:31.64
What was it?
Now, think about it,
00:16:31.65\00:16:33.07
Paul has an opportunity here to
preach to this Roman governor,
00:16:33.08\00:16:35.66
this gentile,
this heathen basically
00:16:35.67\00:16:39.19
and preach the gospel to
him, what does he preach to him?
00:16:39.43\00:16:41.32
Righteousness, temperance
and a judgment to come.
00:16:42.04\00:16:45.86
Now, I can
picture like this, Felix,
00:16:46.44\00:16:49.21
because of your unrighteousness,
your wickedness,
00:16:49.22\00:16:51.37
you're gonna,
you're doomed to be lost.
00:16:52.31\00:16:54.29
Felix, because
of what you've done
00:16:54.30\00:16:56.20
you hung Christ on the Cross.
00:16:56.21\00:16:57.31
Felix, it was your intemperance,
00:16:57.75\00:16:58.91
it was the things
you're doing in the body,
00:16:58.92\00:17:00.36
that's causing you to be lost
because you're not serving God,
00:17:00.54\00:17:02.61
you're serving
yourself. And Felix, guess what?
00:17:02.62\00:17:04.77
That same Christ who
your sins have put on the tree
00:17:05.08\00:17:07.75
is gonna be the one
that judge you as well.
00:17:08.06\00:17:09.51
He, he's gonna be
judge you in the future,
00:17:09.52\00:17:11.09
so he reasons with him
with him about righteousness,
00:17:11.10\00:17:13.35
temperance and a
judgment to come.
00:17:13.84\00:17:15.68
Paul won't preach that today.
00:17:15.94\00:17:16.99
Paul would not
preach that today,
00:17:18.26\00:17:19.31
you want to know why?
00:17:19.93\00:17:21.10
Because Paul would
preach about righteousness
00:17:21.59\00:17:23.16
and temperance and
the judgment has come.
00:17:23.17\00:17:25.72
You notice in
Revelation chapter 14
00:17:27.10\00:17:28.54
when we look at
that a while ago,
00:17:28.55\00:17:29.52
it was putting a
judgment hour message,
00:17:29.53\00:17:31.11
sometime after the cross,
00:17:31.42\00:17:32.95
but prior to the
second coming of Christ.
00:17:33.48\00:17:34.65
There's gonna be a judgment
hour message preached, right?
00:17:35.28\00:17:37.06
After the cross, but prior
to the second coming of Christ.
00:17:37.39\00:17:39.18
Paul's preaching
about a future judgment,
00:17:39.47\00:17:40.91
he's preaching the
Felix and said the judgments
00:17:40.92\00:17:42.30
in the future. So,
apparently sometimes,
00:17:42.31\00:17:44.95
sometime after the time of Paul
00:17:44.96\00:17:46.70
and before the
second coming of Christ,
00:17:46.97\00:17:48.30
there's gonna be
a message go out,
00:17:48.31\00:17:49.41
that's a judgment hour message,
00:17:49.42\00:17:50.98
in other words,
the judgment has begun.
00:17:50.99\00:17:52.40
And what we're gonna
do through this study
00:17:53.62\00:17:54.69
is find out when that time was?
00:17:54.70\00:17:56.13
How can we know, when
the judgment was gonna begin?
00:17:56.69\00:17:59.21
Does it, is this making
sense? Everybody following? Yes.
00:17:59.22\00:18:02.83
Okay, because I know
that this I can kind of get a
00:18:02.84\00:18:04.52
little fast sometimes
and I'm gonna try to stay
00:18:04.53\00:18:07.16
slow enough that
everybody can keep up.
00:18:07.17\00:18:08.78
Now, I wanna show you something
from the Book of Daniel.
00:18:09.66\00:18:11.66
We're gonna go to
Book of Daniel chapter 7
00:18:11.67\00:18:13.24
and we're going to start
setting down a time frame
00:18:13.76\00:18:15.42
as to when the judgment begins.
00:18:15.43\00:18:16.69
Now, just for the sake of,
of people that might not be
00:18:17.30\00:18:19.85
listening clearly when you start
talking about a time frame,
00:18:19.86\00:18:21.88
they may think
that you're actually
00:18:22.16\00:18:23.13
setting the time
for the Christ coming.
00:18:23.14\00:18:24.80
We're not setting the
time for Christ coming,
00:18:24.81\00:18:26.44
we're setting a time
for the judgment, judgment,
00:18:26.71\00:18:29.56
when it's going to
begin? And we know that
00:18:29.85\00:18:31.33
sometime after
the judgment begins,
00:18:31.34\00:18:33.21
what do we learn in
Revelation 22 verses 11 and 12
00:18:33.22\00:18:36.23
there, what do we learn?
Sometime after the judgment
00:18:36.24\00:18:38.12
and verse 11
what's going to happen?
00:18:38.13\00:18:39.26
He's going to
make the pronouncement
00:18:39.80\00:18:40.86
and then Christ
is going to come.
00:18:40.87\00:18:42.00
So, we can kind
have an idea Jesus says,
00:18:42.24\00:18:44.75
you should know the,
the seasons you know,
00:18:44.76\00:18:46.74
you don't know
the day or the hour,
00:18:46.75\00:18:47.81
but you're a
hypocrite, if you don't,
00:18:47.82\00:18:49.08
if you can't discern
the signs of the times
00:18:49.09\00:18:50.84
and those kind of
things. So you put
00:18:50.85\00:18:52.31
all these things
together, we're gonna come to
00:18:52.32\00:18:53.38
the conclusion that the
judgment is coming in soon.
00:18:53.39\00:18:55.65
If the judgment
has begun right now,
00:18:56.73\00:18:58.38
if it has begin if we sure that,
00:18:58.95\00:19:00.27
but it and not
begin in Paul's day.
00:19:00.79\00:19:03.76
Then we're gonna understand that
00:19:04.41\00:19:05.49
there's gonna be
a certain time now,
00:19:05.50\00:19:07.16
if the judgment has begun
that we're in the last part,
00:19:07.17\00:19:09.26
last days, where the
judgment will soon end?
00:19:09.27\00:19:11.21
So, you get the
idea of how you're gonna
00:19:11.63\00:19:12.68
present this to people.
And I love this next part,
00:19:12.69\00:19:15.22
as we go to the Book of Daniel,
it will be on the screen here.
00:19:15.23\00:19:17.72
Daniel chapter 7
and we're gonna review
00:19:17.73\00:19:20.42
just a little bit of
what we've seen in the past,
00:19:20.43\00:19:22.34
but you'll understand why as
we get to it. Daniel chapter 7,
00:19:22.89\00:19:25.62
you remember what
happened in Daniel 7, right?
00:19:28.47\00:19:29.90
What do we discover in Daniel 7,
00:19:29.91\00:19:31.30
does anybody
remember? Antichrist.
00:19:31.31\00:19:32.61
The antichrist,
right? And we started off
00:19:32.62\00:19:34.83
and we found out
that Daniel chapter 7
00:19:34.84\00:19:37.10
starts off with this
beast, and the first beast,
00:19:37.11\00:19:39.60
does anybody remember
what the first beast was even?
00:19:39.61\00:19:41.14
It was a lion with
eagles' wings, right?
00:19:41.65\00:19:44.09
And that represented
who? Babylon. Babylon,
00:19:44.10\00:19:46.45
and then you had
underneath that bear raised up
00:19:46.64\00:19:48.66
at one side, the
Medo-Persia, right?
00:19:48.67\00:19:50.84
And then you had the
leopard with the four heads
00:19:50.85\00:19:52.93
and the four
wings whereas Greece
00:19:52.94\00:19:54.92
and then you had the
non-descriptive beast was who?
00:19:55.11\00:19:56.76
Rome. Rome, okay now go
to Daniel Chapter 7 with me,
00:19:57.05\00:19:59.36
and you remember
after Rome rose up
00:20:01.35\00:20:02.71
it became divided
right into the ten horns
00:20:02.72\00:20:04.69
and that after the
division what happened,
00:20:05.11\00:20:06.48
a little horn came up
and who was that little horn?
00:20:06.49\00:20:08.38
Antichrist, now
and we done that study
00:20:08.88\00:20:10.61
we're kind of stop right there,
00:20:10.62\00:20:11.75
I mean we just, we just
find out who the antichrist was?
00:20:12.16\00:20:14.37
But you know, the Bible
continues on into the scripture
00:20:14.38\00:20:16.34
after that and it
gives us a time frame from
00:20:16.35\00:20:18.47
when the judgment will begin?
00:20:18.48\00:20:19.63
And let us look
at how we know that?
00:20:20.90\00:20:22.23
Daniel chapter 7, now when did
the little horn come to power?
00:20:22.84\00:20:25.06
Five-thirty-eight,
do you remember that?
00:20:25.59\00:20:28.74
And then receives a
deadly wound when in 1798,
00:20:28.90\00:20:32.18
1,260 years later
remember we studied that study.
00:20:32.19\00:20:35.03
And for those you at home,
if you're just picking it up
00:20:35.04\00:20:36.64
right now, you have to go
back and get the prior studies
00:20:36.65\00:20:39.06
to this and you want to
get the one on antichrist,
00:20:39.07\00:20:41.01
part one, antichrist part
two and you understand where
00:20:41.02\00:20:43.42
we're coming from with this
and where we get those dates?
00:20:43.43\00:20:45.03
We don't have time to study
those out in detail right now
00:20:45.04\00:20:47.19
and you can find out on
www.comeexperiencelife.com.
00:20:47.20\00:20:51.81
So, comeexperiencelife.com
is where you can find
00:20:51.82\00:20:55.12
the Bible studies
on the previous one.
00:20:55.13\00:20:57.42
So, if you hear me alluding
to the some of the previous ones
00:20:57.43\00:21:00.95
that's where you can
find that at our website.
00:21:00.96\00:21:03.07
Anyway, so now
let's look at it again,
00:21:03.08\00:21:04.68
I'm gonna pick it
up in verse, verse 8,
00:21:04.69\00:21:06.41
it says verse 9 up there
and you can do it from verse 9,
00:21:06.42\00:21:08.64
but remember in verse 8
it said, I consider the horns
00:21:08.65\00:21:10.76
and there come up a
little horn among them
00:21:10.77\00:21:12.58
and that was the antichrist,
remember we found that.
00:21:12.59\00:21:14.91
When did the
antichrist come to power?
00:21:15.13\00:21:16.66
Five-thirty-eight and so,
now notice what happens next?
00:21:17.53\00:21:19.89
Because we know
from what we know,
00:21:19.90\00:21:21.78
from what we know,
what we discussed so far,
00:21:21.79\00:21:22.89
what we've studied so
far is the fact that the,
00:21:22.90\00:21:24.54
the judgment is gonna be
begin sometime after the cross,
00:21:24.55\00:21:28.16
remember that 'cause it
didn't happened at the cross,
00:21:28.58\00:21:30.62
we know that because Paul
writing in the New Testament
00:21:30.63\00:21:32.85
and the other gospel
writers writing said,
00:21:32.86\00:21:35.13
that the judgment is
yet, future tense for them.
00:21:35.14\00:21:37.17
But then we read Revelation
chapter 14 just now and it says,
00:21:37.58\00:21:40.65
at some point this angel.
The first angel comes down,
00:21:40.66\00:21:43.34
preaching at the everlasting
gospel and that gospel message
00:21:43.35\00:21:46.10
has a, has a part of
the message that says,
00:21:46.11\00:21:47.95
the judgment has come.
Right, it's part of that.
00:21:47.96\00:21:51.45
So, sometime after the
cross, and sometime before
00:21:51.46\00:21:54.25
the second coming of Christ
the judgment is gonna begin.
00:21:54.26\00:21:56.25
What we find here
in Daniel chapter 7,
00:21:56.26\00:21:58.02
we actually get
that time frame laid out,
00:21:58.31\00:22:01.20
the time frame
laid out as to when
00:22:01.21\00:22:02.72
the judgment is gonna begin.
00:22:02.73\00:22:03.72
And let us look
at how we know that?
00:22:04.17\00:22:05.48
So, you find in verse 8 the
little horn coming to power,
00:22:05.65\00:22:08.34
but now look at verse 9
00:22:08.35\00:22:09.44
something very
interesting happens.
00:22:09.45\00:22:10.54
Does anybody have
another translation
00:22:10.55\00:22:12.40
besides the King James in here?
00:22:12.41\00:22:14.49
If you don't
that's perfectly fine.
00:22:14.50\00:22:15.89
And New King James, anybody?
00:22:16.74\00:22:18.19
Oh! Yeah, the New
King James Tom. Okay,
00:22:18.60\00:22:20.25
I want you to read
this when you get to here,
00:22:20.26\00:22:22.57
we're gonna, you're wanna read
Daniel chapter 7 and verse 9,
00:22:22.58\00:22:25.77
just read verse 9
because it says something very,
00:22:25.78\00:22:28.34
little different
in the New King James
00:22:28.35\00:22:29.95
and the King James, which
is translated actually better,
00:22:29.96\00:22:32.05
explain it as we go long.
00:22:32.06\00:22:33.27
So, Daniel 7:9
just read that part.
00:22:33.28\00:22:34.99
"I watched until
thrones were put in place."
00:22:35.57\00:22:37.75
Ah! That's it. Hold on
right there for second.
00:22:37.76\00:22:40.26
He watched until
thrones were put in place.
00:22:41.14\00:22:44.21
Now, in the King James
says, it's a little different,
00:22:44.22\00:22:45.38
because it says, "I beheld till
the thrones were cast down."
00:22:45.39\00:22:47.56
And it almost sounds like
there was kingdoms throw down
00:22:47.57\00:22:49.39
or something
like that, doesn't it?
00:22:49.40\00:22:50.70
But this is
talking about a judgment
00:22:50.71\00:22:51.96
seen that's taking place
in heaven and so, he looks
00:22:51.97\00:22:53.95
and he beholds, he looks
and thrones were put in place.
00:22:53.96\00:22:57.49
Or as the King
James says, cast down.
00:22:57.96\00:22:59.34
Now, how do I know that
he's looking into heaven?
00:22:59.35\00:23:01.16
Read the rest of it.
00:23:01.17\00:23:02.35
"And the Ancient
of Days was seated."
00:23:03.27\00:23:05.15
Who is that? God
the Father, keep going.
00:23:05.16\00:23:08.70
"His garment was white as snow.
00:23:08.84\00:23:11.38
And the hair of his
head was like pure wool.
00:23:11.39\00:23:14.22
His throne was
like the fiery flame,
00:23:14.23\00:23:16.74
his wheels a burning fire.
00:23:16.75\00:23:19.30
A fiery stream issued and
came forth from before him:
00:23:19.31\00:23:23.79
a thousand
thousands ministered unto him,
00:23:24.80\00:23:27.16
ten thousand times ten
thousand stood before him:
00:23:27.17\00:23:30.64
the court were seated,
and the books were opened."
00:23:30.65\00:23:33.07
Okay, stop right
there just for a second.
00:23:33.08\00:23:34.38
What we found just
now? You have Babylon,
00:23:34.39\00:23:36.73
Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome.
00:23:36.74\00:23:38.32
Rome is divided; the little
horn, antichrist power comes up.
00:23:38.33\00:23:41.03
The next thing you see is a
judgment scene taking place,
00:23:41.04\00:23:43.72
right? The
Ancient of Days comes,
00:23:44.23\00:23:45.65
he takes a seat, he
sets down right on the throne
00:23:45.66\00:23:48.11
and it says that
there are 10,000 times,
00:23:48.12\00:23:49.99
10,000 stood before him
and the judgment was set.
00:23:50.00\00:23:53.20
And the books were
open. So, you know,
00:23:53.46\00:23:55.69
you just set up at
least somewhat of a timeline.
00:23:55.70\00:23:57.73
According to the timeline
00:23:57.74\00:23:58.71
we looked at right
here in Daniel 7 so far,
00:23:58.72\00:24:00.50
you know that the judgment
has to begin sometime after 538.
00:24:00.51\00:24:04.18
You understand that,
right? If it's given a,
00:24:04.72\00:24:06.71
if it's given a order
of events here it says,
00:24:06.72\00:24:08.45
Babylon
Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome.
00:24:08.46\00:24:10.07
Rome divided and
little horns comes to power,
00:24:10.08\00:24:11.73
then the judgment begins,
00:24:11.74\00:24:13.08
but now as we, in case
you're notlike following that
00:24:13.70\00:24:16.48
you say, well how do
you know that's the case?
00:24:16.49\00:24:18.45
We're gonna go
through this actually God,
00:24:18.46\00:24:19.88
God says it three times in
the Book of Daniel chapter 7,
00:24:19.89\00:24:22.36
and in the Book of Daniel
and Chapter 7 three times,
00:24:22.37\00:24:24.81
he gives that
same order of events,
00:24:24.82\00:24:26.90
he gives the little
horn and then the judgment
00:24:26.91\00:24:29.43
and then the
second coming of Christ.
00:24:29.63\00:24:31.14
The little horn, judgment,
second coming of Christ,
00:24:31.15\00:24:33.30
three times and all
in the same Chapter.
00:24:33.31\00:24:35.28
Sometimes people will say,
you know, like if I ask you.
00:24:35.29\00:24:38.48
What do you get
the most information
00:24:38.62\00:24:40.19
about finding the
investigative judgment
00:24:40.20\00:24:42.00
sometimes you know, in
closer to our time familiar
00:24:42.01\00:24:44.64
in this earth's history,
they will go to Daniel chapter 8
00:24:44.65\00:24:47.08
and that we're gonna
go to Daniel chapter 8,
00:24:47.09\00:24:48.31
Daniel 8:14 where you find
the, the famous quote that,
00:24:48.32\00:24:51.17
Unto two thousand
and three hundred days;
00:24:51.18\00:24:52.52
then shall the sanctuary
be cleansed and we go there
00:24:52.53\00:24:54.66
and we show the
beginning of the 2300 years
00:24:54.67\00:24:56.41
and when it ends we'll
do that in the study. Okay,
00:24:56.42\00:24:58.95
that would be
part two of this study,
00:24:58.96\00:25:01.07
but what's
interesting is right now?
00:25:01.08\00:25:02.99
We've just have shown as
the judgment from Daniel 7
00:25:03.00\00:25:05.61
is going to begin
sometime after 538.
00:25:05.62\00:25:08.03
Say, are you sure about that?
00:25:08.04\00:25:09.46
Let me read the rest of
this text on out for you there.
00:25:09.47\00:25:11.52
"I beheld then
because of the voice
00:25:11.53\00:25:13.90
of the great words
which the horn spake:
00:25:13.91\00:25:15.45
And I beheld even
till the beast was slain,
00:25:15.46\00:25:16.95
and his body destroyed,
and given to the burning flame.
00:25:16.96\00:25:19.07
And concerning the
rest of the beasts,
00:25:19.08\00:25:20.58
they had their
dominion taken away:
00:25:20.59\00:25:21.97
yet their lives
prolonged for a season and time.
00:25:21.98\00:25:24.16
I saw in the night
visions, and, behold,
00:25:24.17\00:25:25.75
one like the Son of man
came with the clouds of heaven,
00:25:25.76\00:25:28.43
and came to the Ancient of Days,
00:25:28.44\00:25:29.95
and they brought
near before him."
00:25:29.96\00:25:31.09
So, so that part
there is speaking
00:25:31.10\00:25:32.25
about this
judgment scenes begin.
00:25:32.26\00:25:33.86
And Jesus the Son of man, Jesus
comes to the ancient of days
00:25:33.87\00:25:38.29
and something
takes place there, right?
00:25:38.57\00:25:39.72
The judgment was
taking place. Verse 14, "
00:25:39.73\00:25:41.88
And then there was
given him dominion, and glory,
00:25:42.31\00:25:45.13
and a kingdom, that all people,
and nations, and languages,
00:25:45.14\00:25:47.61
should serve him: His dominion
is an everlasting dominion,
00:25:47.62\00:25:50.39
which shall not pass
away, and his kingdom is that
00:25:50.40\00:25:52.84
which shall not be destroyed.
00:25:52.85\00:25:54.44
So, you know what just
took place here, right?
00:25:54.45\00:25:56.07
You have the judgment
scene then what happened
00:25:56.47\00:25:57.70
immediately after
the judgment scene ends?
00:25:57.71\00:26:00.31
Jesus receives His kingdom.
Have you seen that in the text?
00:26:00.32\00:26:04.23
Is everybody okay
with that? Any questions?
00:26:04.24\00:26:06.35
All right, now look
I'm glad you understood it.
00:26:06.36\00:26:09.01
Because, because
Daniel really didn't get it.
00:26:09.02\00:26:11.75
Daniel and Daniel
read and followed he says,
00:26:12.02\00:26:13.99
I got to know more
about this and we find out
00:26:14.00\00:26:15.73
in Daniel
chapter 7 and verse 19,
00:26:15.74\00:26:17.41
the slide is on
the screen Daniel 7
00:26:17.66\00:26:19.20
and verse 19 through
22 Daniel 7:19 through 22.
00:26:19.21\00:26:23.17
And Dosung, do you have that,
would you like to read that?
00:26:23.77\00:26:28.25
Daniel 7:19 through
verse 22. "Then I would know
00:26:28.26\00:26:32.09
the truth of the fourth beast,
00:26:32.10\00:26:33.78
which was diverse
from all the others,
00:26:34.37\00:26:36.97
exceeding dreadful,
whose teeth were of iron."
00:26:37.28\00:26:40.65
Okay, real quick,
who was the fourth beast?
00:26:40.66\00:26:42.19
Rome. And he says,
look I wanted to know
00:26:43.47\00:26:45.46
the truth of the fourth beast.
00:26:45.47\00:26:46.49
I want to know
something about him, carry on.
00:26:46.97\00:26:48.24
"And teeth of iron and his
nails of brass; which devoured,
00:26:49.11\00:26:52.53
brake in pieces, and stamped
the residue with his feet;
00:26:52.54\00:26:56.54
And of the ten horns
that were in his head,
00:26:56.55\00:26:59.27
and of the other which came
up, and before whom three fell."
00:26:59.28\00:27:02.81
Who is the other that came up?
00:27:02.82\00:27:04.06
It was the antichrist,
the little horn right?
00:27:05.46\00:27:06.99
And so, and what
he is saying here,
00:27:07.00\00:27:08.12
Daniel is like I want to
know more about these things
00:27:08.13\00:27:10.21
because I'm not really
understanding it all the way.
00:27:10.22\00:27:11.85
Are you following?
That's what it said in the text,
00:27:11.86\00:27:13.85
why don't you first start
reading in verse 19 it says,
00:27:13.86\00:27:16.36
I want to know the
truth of these things
00:27:16.37\00:27:17.84
'cause I'm not really
understanding, right carry on.
00:27:18.18\00:27:20.26
Even of that
horn. Even of that horn.
00:27:21.96\00:27:23.75
that had eyes and a mouth
that spake very great things,
00:27:23.76\00:27:27.36
whose look was more
stout than his fellows."
00:27:27.37\00:27:29.97
Okay, now after
he this little horn,
00:27:29.98\00:27:31.32
and what he see
verse 21. "I beheld,
00:27:31.33\00:27:33.91
and the same horn
made war with the saints,
00:27:33.92\00:27:37.08
and prevailed against them.
Until. The Ancient of Days came,
00:27:37.09\00:27:41.89
and judgment was given to
the saints of the Most High;
00:27:42.51\00:27:45.79
and the time came that the
saints possessed the kingdom."
00:27:45.80\00:27:48.36
So, did you follow
what just took place there?
00:27:48.37\00:27:50.03
Okay, first he says, I
want to know more about this.
00:27:50.54\00:27:52.73
So God says, okay what is
you want to know more about?
00:27:52.74\00:27:55.09
And he says, well that fourth
beast and then that little horn
00:27:55.10\00:27:56.75
that come up until the way
three and he said, I beheld,
00:27:56.76\00:27:59.28
I think once no more about that,
he says I beheld that same horn,
00:27:59.29\00:28:02.69
the same horn made
war with the saints.
00:28:02.70\00:28:04.45
Now, who's the saint?
00:28:04.46\00:28:05.44
The saints are
the people of God.
00:28:06.64\00:28:07.61
And we're look
at the antichrist,
00:28:07.62\00:28:08.59
what happened from
the year 538 to 1798,
00:28:08.60\00:28:11.06
we called that the
Dark Ages, because,
00:28:11.07\00:28:13.41
because if just owning a
Bible you'll be persecuting
00:28:13.42\00:28:15.33
like God's people are persecuted
00:28:15.34\00:28:16.57
just for owning and studying
the Bible, right? And so,
00:28:16.58\00:28:18.66
he persecutes the
saints, he persecutes the saints
00:28:18.67\00:28:21.15
and then what happens;
he says he's done that,
00:28:21.16\00:28:23.82
he persecuted the saints
and preveled against them until.
00:28:23.83\00:28:28.19
"Until the Ancient of days came,
00:28:28.20\00:28:30.80
and the judgment was given
to the saints the Most High;
00:28:30.81\00:28:33.29
and the time came that the
saints possessed the kingdom."
00:28:33.30\00:28:35.08
So, you follow
what's going on here.
00:28:35.09\00:28:36.19
He sees and vision here he sees
the, he sees the fourth beast
00:28:36.20\00:28:40.50
then he sees the antichrist
came up, and he sees him
00:28:40.89\00:28:43.28
persecuting the saints and then
00:28:43.29\00:28:45.23
he see the
judgment take place, right?
00:28:45.24\00:28:47.37
And then what happens after
the judgment the next verse
00:28:47.38\00:28:49.29
you read in verse
20, still in verse 22.
00:28:49.30\00:28:51.04
The judgment was given
to the saints the Most High;
00:28:51.05\00:28:53.29
and then the time
came that the saints
00:28:53.30\00:28:54.81
possessed the
kingdom. Isn't that good?
00:28:54.82\00:28:57.35
I mean its two time so
far in the same chapter,
00:28:57.36\00:28:59.04
he gives that explanation
that order of events.
00:28:59.05\00:29:01.40
You know, it does
it the third time.
00:29:01.41\00:29:02.93
Just in case you haven't
got it yet, because you know,
00:29:03.37\00:29:05.56
some of us from
different parts of the country,
00:29:05.57\00:29:07.38
a little slower then
others, I'm from Kentucky
00:29:07.39\00:29:09.09
it took me while to get this.
00:29:09.10\00:29:10.55
And I don't think
anything do with my raising,
00:29:10.56\00:29:13.03
other than I
was raised a heathen
00:29:13.04\00:29:14.22
And it just took me a
while to understand so,
00:29:14.23\00:29:15.90
so God's says,
I'll tell what I've do,
00:29:15.91\00:29:16.89
I'll give it to you third time.
00:29:16.90\00:29:18.42
You recommend he can
get that for third time,
00:29:19.01\00:29:20.33
let's look and find out.
00:29:21.26\00:29:22.38
We're gonna down to
from chapter 7 and verse 22
00:29:22.65\00:29:26.19
where it's going to the
next verse, here verse 23 to 27
00:29:26.20\00:29:28.80
and I'm gonna, I'm
gonna read this one
00:29:28.81\00:29:30.14
because here it is again.
Twenty-three to twenty-seven
00:29:30.15\00:29:32.57
look what it
says. "Thus he said,
00:29:32.58\00:29:34.45
The fourth beast shall be the
fourth kingdom upon the earth.
00:29:34.46\00:29:36.65
" Who was that
fourth beast? Rome. Rome.
00:29:36.66\00:29:38.61
"Which shall be different
from the other kingdoms,
00:29:38.62\00:29:40.52
and it shall devour the
whole earth, and tread it down,
00:29:40.53\00:29:42.56
and break into
pieces. And the ten horns,
00:29:42.57\00:29:44.76
that's the
divisions of Rome, right?
00:29:44.77\00:29:46.15
Out of this
kingdom about ten Kings,
00:29:46.16\00:29:47.57
when where the horns divided
the Rome, when it was divided?
00:29:47.58\00:29:51.25
Four-seventy-six
AD you remember?
00:29:51.26\00:29:53.61
That when we find
divided up and that shall rise
00:29:53.62\00:29:56.84
and another shall rise
after them that little one
00:29:56.85\00:29:58.48
that rises after them that
is, that will be different from
00:29:58.49\00:30:01.76
the first and he
will subdue three kings.
00:30:01.77\00:30:03.42
Who is that? The
antichrist so we called
00:30:03.60\00:30:05.61
the papacy right.
So, he will subdue
00:30:05.62\00:30:07.69
the three kings and then
look what it says in verse 25.
00:30:07.70\00:30:09.82
And He shall speak great
words against the Most High.
00:30:09.83\00:30:12.10
And Revelation 13 tells
us that, that's blasphemy,
00:30:12.38\00:30:14.46
he speaks blasphemy against God.
00:30:14.47\00:30:15.81
And we're out the
saints of the Most High.
00:30:16.39\00:30:18.14
He's gonna prosecute the saints.
00:30:18.15\00:30:19.22
He will think to change times
and laws and they shall be given
00:30:19.23\00:30:22.50
into his hand for a
time and times and dividing
00:30:22.51\00:30:26.12
a time of one thousand
two hundred and sixty years.
00:30:26.13\00:30:28.40
Remember, we looked that
already in a previous study.
00:30:28.41\00:30:30.50
So, for one thousand
two hundred and sixty years,
00:30:30.51\00:30:32.25
he's gonna be
prosecuting the saints.
00:30:32.26\00:30:33.91
And look what it
says next, after this:
00:30:33.92\00:30:36.46
"But the judgment shall
sit and they shall take away
00:30:36.75\00:30:39.95
his dominion to consume it
and destroy it under the end."
00:30:39.96\00:30:42.44
And the kingdom
and the dominion,
00:30:43.89\00:30:45.52
and the
greatness of the kingdoms
00:30:45.53\00:30:46.60
under the whole
heaven, shall be given
00:30:46.61\00:30:48.58
to the people of the
saints of the Most High.
00:30:49.72\00:30:52.09
Whose kingdom is
an everlasting kingdom
00:30:52.10\00:30:53.88
and all dominion
shall serve and obey him.
00:30:53.89\00:30:55.90
Three times in a
row in Daniel Chapter 7,
00:30:56.89\00:30:58.91
three times you find
the same order of events
00:30:58.92\00:31:01.03
and you know what's the
good news about this is?
00:31:01.04\00:31:02.56
Where we are at
in this scenario?
00:31:03.39\00:31:04.66
Are we backup in Babylon?
Some times I wonder right?
00:31:04.67\00:31:08.09
No, we're not up at
that timeframe though are we?
00:31:08.64\00:31:10.29
And then you go to
Medo-Persian, Greece, Rome.
00:31:10.30\00:31:12.32
Rome is divided right
and then little horn power
00:31:12.33\00:31:15.22
comes up 538 and it says here.
They'll we given into his hands
00:31:15.23\00:31:18.50
until time and
time dividing up times.
00:31:18.51\00:31:19.97
We know that
ended in the year 1798,
00:31:19.98\00:31:22.81
then the judgment
begins. Do you see that?
00:31:22.82\00:31:25.51
So, according to
the text in Daniel 7
00:31:26.26\00:31:27.78
without going
anywhere else in the Bible,
00:31:27.79\00:31:29.09
just looking at Daniel
7, the judgment must begin
00:31:29.18\00:31:31.49
sometime after 1798.
Are you following that?
00:31:31.50\00:31:36.67
So, look I haven't went
to Daniel Chapter 8 yet,
00:31:36.68\00:31:38.80
we haven't gone
to Daniel Chapter 8
00:31:39.37\00:31:40.69
and note down
the exact timeframe.
00:31:40.70\00:31:42.27
But just using Daniel
7 you show from Daniel 7
00:31:42.28\00:31:45.24
that God gives a
time line, the timeframe
00:31:45.25\00:31:47.13
of the Judgment to begin
and it sometime after 1798.
00:31:47.14\00:31:50.13
Is there any
questions regarding this?
00:31:51.45\00:31:53.02
Is it making
sense? Shake your head,
00:31:53.73\00:31:55.10
yes if it's
making sense. All right,
00:31:55.11\00:31:56.62
okay, no problem all right
we're gonna continue on then.
00:31:56.63\00:31:59.61
Now we're gonna go
to Daniel Chapter 8
00:31:59.62\00:32:01.10
and we're gonna look
into the timeline probably
00:32:01.11\00:32:04.15
we found in Daniel Chapter
8. which is actually just
00:32:04.16\00:32:06.19
a parallel of Daniel
7. It's gonna enlarge just
00:32:06.20\00:32:08.87
a little bit
more; I want to get this
00:32:08.88\00:32:10.47
from Daniel 8.
Now, I mean Daniel,
00:32:10.48\00:32:13.85
Daniel 7 enlarged on
Daniel 2 and Daniel 8 enlarging
00:32:13.86\00:32:17.01
on Daniel 7 and its just kind
of gives more detail each time.
00:32:17.04\00:32:19.74
Are you following that?
00:32:19.75\00:32:20.72
All right Daniel
Chapter 8 verse 1 through 14,
00:32:21.37\00:32:24.00
I think since, that's
a long read and honestly
00:32:24.64\00:32:27.60
when I give a Bible
study and if its more than
00:32:27.61\00:32:29.46
just like two or three
verses I read it myself.
00:32:29.47\00:32:31.24
People will tend to be
nervous reading out loud;
00:32:32.46\00:32:34.85
you know you're not because
you're doing a lot right,
00:32:34.86\00:32:36.87
you're not nervous anymore.
00:32:36.88\00:32:37.85
The people do tend
to get little nervous
00:32:38.14\00:32:39.58
when they got to
read out loud in front
00:32:39.59\00:32:41.82
of somebody even if
it's just in their home.
00:32:41.83\00:32:43.07
And so there is a long read
like this for a bunch of verses
00:32:43.73\00:32:45.86
and I am gonna
comment to be stopping them.
00:32:45.87\00:32:47.37
It's okay just to
take it for yourself here.
00:32:48.20\00:32:49.90
And some of your
studies will do that,
00:32:49.91\00:32:51.38
but you prefer to
give them the shorter text
00:32:51.39\00:32:53.60
if you have a choice right.
00:32:53.61\00:32:54.81
So Daniel Chapter 8 in
verse 1, now let's pick it up
00:32:54.82\00:32:58.71
right here Daniel has a
vision and it says this,
00:32:58.72\00:33:00.82
Daniel Chapter 8
verse 1 through 14.
00:33:00.83\00:33:04.16
In the third year of
the reign of King Belshazzar
00:33:05.32\00:33:07.58
a vision appeared unto
me, even unto me Daniel,
00:33:07.59\00:33:10.66
after that which
appeared unto me at the first.
00:33:10.67\00:33:12.63
And I saw a vision;
and it came to pass,
00:33:14.42\00:33:16.87
when I saw,
that I was in Shushan
00:33:16.88\00:33:18.75
in the place, in
the palace rather
00:33:18.76\00:33:21.77
which is a province of
Elam; and I saw in a vision,
00:33:21.78\00:33:25.14
and that I was by
the river of Ulai.
00:33:25.90\00:33:27.61
Now, it's very interesting
here this word vision,
00:33:28.08\00:33:29.87
that you find. There's two words
00:33:29.88\00:33:32.84
in Daniel Chapter 8
that's translated vision.
00:33:32.85\00:33:35.92
Two different words.
This word we find here
00:33:36.91\00:33:39.04
and I am gonna
have it on the screen,
00:33:39.05\00:33:40.16
we will have to up here.
The word vision when you look
00:33:40.17\00:33:42.42
at it there on the screen it,
let me hit this button there.
00:33:42.43\00:33:45.20
You find Hazon you see
how it got written up there.
00:33:45.23\00:33:48.53
Basically means the
word Hazon means vision
00:33:48.54\00:33:52.28
you know it just what it
means so translate it correctly
00:33:52.29\00:33:54.58
no problems
with the translation.
00:33:54.59\00:33:55.56
But later on when
Daniel starts talking about
00:33:55.57\00:33:58.85
a certain part of the vision,
he uses a different word.
00:33:58.86\00:34:01.47
Like he is
focusing in on that term,
00:34:02.50\00:34:04.36
on what that
part of the vision is
00:34:04.90\00:34:06.71
and we're gonna look
at that in just a minute.
00:34:06.72\00:34:07.69
So, is it important
that we understand this
00:34:07.70\00:34:09.30
and the word Hazon is used in
00:34:09.31\00:34:11.57
Daniel 8 verse
1,2,13 and 15, 16 and 17
00:34:11.58\00:34:15.12
So, when you see the
word vision in those verses
00:34:15.94\00:34:17.77
that's the Hebrew
word that is coming from.
00:34:19.64\00:34:22.85
Okay, is
everybody okay with that?
00:34:23.58\00:34:24.73
So, what was the Hebrew
word that we find there?
00:34:25.42\00:34:27.13
What's the word we have?
00:34:27.16\00:34:28.13
Hazon, and that
means just a vision.
00:34:28.33\00:34:29.80
Now, you notice
here when you look,
00:34:29.81\00:34:31.02
read Daniel
Chapter 8 verse 1 and 2,
00:34:31.03\00:34:32.43
he is talking
about the whole vision.
00:34:32.89\00:34:33.95
Right, he is
talking about everything,
00:34:35.06\00:34:36.03
the third year of
the reign of Belshazzar,
00:34:36.04\00:34:37.01
King, the vision
appeared unto me,
00:34:37.02\00:34:38.89
even unto me Daniel,
and he goes on and says,
00:34:38.90\00:34:40.98
and I saw a
vision; and it came to pass
00:34:40.99\00:34:42.81
when I saw, that, that I
was who he was in the palace,
00:34:42.82\00:34:46.99
in the province and he
says, still in verse 2 now.
00:34:47.00\00:34:48.42
And I saw the
vision of the Hazon
00:34:48.43\00:34:50.42
and I was at a river
of Ulai. Now I got to stop
00:34:50.43\00:34:53.26
for just a second. I am
probably saying that wrong,
00:34:53.27\00:34:55.23
and if I am saying it
wrong and this is aired
00:34:55.24\00:34:57.51
and I am gonna get a
lot of these scholars
00:34:57.52\00:34:58.91
that's gonna write me letters.
Well, you don't say Hazon,
00:34:58.92\00:35:00.82
its Haazon or who cares.
Right, that you guys understand
00:35:00.83\00:35:05.04
what we're saying
right? We know that there's
00:35:05.05\00:35:06.36
a word there and that
word is you know we just write
00:35:06.37\00:35:08.87
it out in the English Hazon.
00:35:08.88\00:35:10.66
So, you said however you
want to and write me a letter
00:35:10.67\00:35:12.55
if you want to straight
me up I am okay with that.
00:35:12.56\00:35:13.93
You better make good,
00:35:13.94\00:35:15.38
you making good
grammatical memory recorded.
00:35:15.39\00:35:18.23
And if you send it to me later,
00:35:18.24\00:35:19.21
I won't be able to
understand what you're saying.
00:35:19.22\00:35:20.19
So, you may able to
like speak into a microphone
00:35:20.20\00:35:21.89
and then send it to me if
you want to straight me up.
00:35:21.90\00:35:23.69
So, anyway we
know that in Daniel 8
00:35:24.17\00:35:26.60
and then it also
Daniel 9:21 it still uses
00:35:26.61\00:35:28.84
the same term you know it's
the same word translated vision.
00:35:28.85\00:35:31.36
So, let's continue on
as we read through here,
00:35:32.22\00:35:33.65
he says. "Then I
lifted up my eyes,
00:35:33.66\00:35:36.00
and I saw, and,
behold, there stood before
00:35:36.01\00:35:37.14
the river a ram,
which had two horns:
00:35:37.15\00:35:40.04
and the horns were
high; but one was higher
00:35:40.05\00:35:42.49
than the other, and
the higher came up last.
00:35:42.50\00:35:44.56
Now, we know who
this is and then simply
00:35:45.63\00:35:48.11
which told us in the
later part in Daniel Chapter 8.
00:35:48.12\00:35:50.71
Its Medo-Persian empire
and we don't have to get
00:35:50.72\00:35:53.13
into the details
of that right now.
00:35:53.14\00:35:54.59
But I want to ask you something,
00:35:54.87\00:35:55.84
where do the
other reasons begin,
00:35:56.62\00:35:57.64
they begin with who? I
wonder why this one doesn't
00:35:59.19\00:36:01.47
become a Babylon.
Well, know actually it says
00:36:01.48\00:36:04.83
right here that, in
the third year of the reign
00:36:04.84\00:36:06.43
of Belshazzar that
was still Babylon ruling
00:36:06.44\00:36:08.45
when he is there and it's
a better answer than that.
00:36:08.46\00:36:10.19
I think, I think it's we
find this pretty interesting.
00:36:10.20\00:36:12.07
When we look at the,
at a 2300 Day of Prophecy,
00:36:12.70\00:36:14.80
we're gonna look
at here just a minute
00:36:14.81\00:36:16.68
we get to that actually
get into that more tomorrow.
00:36:16.69\00:36:18.69
But something is
interesting that Prophecy begins
00:36:18.70\00:36:21.48
in the year 457
BC. By the year 457BC,
00:36:21.49\00:36:25.82
guess who was
ruling the Medo-Persians.
00:36:25.83\00:36:28.92
Isn't that a good
reason to begin the Prophecy
00:36:29.88\00:36:31.58
with the Medo-Persian Empire?
Because when the prophecy
00:36:31.59\00:36:34.19
Because when the prophecy
timeline part of it begins
00:36:34.20\00:36:35.31
the Medo-Persians
are the ones ruling.
00:36:35.32\00:36:36.86
So, it makes sense to begin with
00:36:37.76\00:36:39.16
who was gonna be ruling
when ever that one start.
00:36:39.17\00:36:40.70
And another answer
that people give often times
00:36:40.71\00:36:43.29
is Babylon was on their way out
00:36:43.30\00:36:44.55
there was you know
Belshazzar was a last ruler,
00:36:44.56\00:36:46.19
it's on a way out
that kind of thing.
00:36:46.20\00:36:47.33
But I think the better
answer if you think about
00:36:47.34\00:36:49.40
it is the timeline
part of this prophecy
00:36:49.41\00:36:51.35
begins with the
Medo-Persian Empire in 457 BC.
00:36:51.36\00:36:54.29
So, are you following that?
Okay, it's pretty neat huh?
00:36:55.54\00:36:58.31
So I lifted up my eyes and I saw
00:36:58.32\00:36:59.98
and behold there
stood before the river a ram
00:36:59.99\00:37:02.28
which had two horns
and the horns were high
00:37:02.29\00:37:03.88
but one was
higher than the other
00:37:03.89\00:37:05.06
and we know that one was higher
00:37:05.07\00:37:06.35
and one was
stronger than the other.
00:37:06.36\00:37:07.36
Which one was the stronger one?
00:37:07.37\00:37:08.57
All right and
how do you know that?
00:37:09.92\00:37:10.94
The Persian gulf, all right,
00:37:10.95\00:37:12.22
now lets carry on verse 4.
00:37:12.23\00:37:13.53
I saw the ram
pushing westward, northward,
00:37:13.54\00:37:16.32
and southward and the
bear in Daniel chapter 7
00:37:16.33\00:37:18.62
had three ribs so it's perfectly
00:37:18.63\00:37:20.72
this guy is conquering
in three directions as well.
00:37:20.73\00:37:22.80
West, the Babylon
and then you go the
00:37:22.81\00:37:25.76
North to Lydia
and South to Egypt.
00:37:25.77\00:37:27.20
And so that no beasts
might stand before him,
00:37:28.12\00:37:29.91
neither was there any that could
be delivered out of his hand;
00:37:29.92\00:37:32.37
but he did
according to his will,
00:37:32.38\00:37:34.23
and look what it
says he became how?
00:37:34.24\00:37:35.37
He became great, now
just if you want to make
00:37:36.18\00:37:38.54
a note or highlight your
Bible right there underline
00:37:38.55\00:37:40.44
the word great. That
he became great because
00:37:40.45\00:37:42.96
as it moves along through here
the next kingdom will become
00:37:42.97\00:37:45.48
like little
greater, the next kingdom
00:37:45.49\00:37:47.32
a little greater.
And it is important
00:37:47.33\00:37:48.93
to understanding
that especially with the,
00:37:48.94\00:37:50.21
with what's going
on in the world today
00:37:50.22\00:37:51.76
in Christianity
and misunderstanding
00:37:51.77\00:37:53.74
and
misapplication of this prophecy.
00:37:53.75\00:37:55.28
It's very important to
understand that each one
00:37:55.29\00:37:56.92
become more
powerful than the other.
00:37:56.93\00:37:58.37
And you'll get
that as we go along,
00:37:58.83\00:38:00.01
so let's continue on.
And I consider verse 5,
00:38:00.02\00:38:03.88
I consider, and behold,
that he-goat came from the West
00:38:03.89\00:38:07.66
on the face of the whole earth,
and did not touched the ground.
00:38:07.67\00:38:10.33
Now, if you think about
it, something moving so fast
00:38:10.93\00:38:12.84
as not touching the
ground you think its something
00:38:12.85\00:38:14.48
moving pretty quick right
and so you know who the King,
00:38:14.49\00:38:16.99
what kingdom ruled
after Medo-Persia, Greece.
00:38:17.00\00:38:19.80
And actually we're gonna look
at that right here as we get
00:38:20.19\00:38:22.35
into the second half of this,
but since Greece ruled after
00:38:22.36\00:38:24.75
Medo-Persia who was
the first King of Greece?
00:38:24.76\00:38:26.64
Alexander the Great that
he conquered pretty quickly.
00:38:27.49\00:38:29.27
Yeah, just like
the four wing leopard.
00:38:29.28\00:38:30.89
That you find in
Daniel 7 it went quick.
00:38:30.90\00:38:32.87
And so this one is going so
fascinating touched the ground
00:38:32.88\00:38:34.87
and the goat had a
notable horn between his eyes.
00:38:34.88\00:38:37.31
And we will find out
that was the first King in
00:38:37.32\00:38:39.95
Daniel chapter 8 verse
21, we look at that later
00:38:39.96\00:38:42.05
as well And he came to
the ram that had two horns,
00:38:42.06\00:38:45.55
which I had seen
standing before the river,
00:38:46.67\00:38:48.33
and ran unto him in
the fury of his power.
00:38:48.34\00:38:50.17
And I saw him come
close unto the ram,
00:38:51.29\00:38:53.23
and he was moved with choler.
In other words indignation
00:38:53.24\00:38:55.95
or anger he was just
furious with him against him,
00:38:55.96\00:38:58.16
and he smote the ram,
and brake his two horns:
00:38:58.17\00:39:00.95
and there was no power in
the ram to stand before him,
00:39:00.96\00:39:03.03
but he cast him
down to the ground,
00:39:03.04\00:39:04.84
and stamped upon him:
and there was none that could
00:39:04.85\00:39:07.36
deliver the ram out of his hand.
00:39:07.37\00:39:08.62
Verse 8: Therefore
the he-goat became,
00:39:08.63\00:39:14.10
when he was strong,
the great horn was broken
00:39:15.08\00:39:17.78
that he goat was
waxed very great:
00:39:17.79\00:39:19.70
and when he was strong,
the great horn was broken;
00:39:19.71\00:39:22.02
and for it came up
four notable horns toward
00:39:22.03\00:39:24.72
the four winds of
heaven. And now in verse 9,
00:39:24.73\00:39:29.42
still in the same
chapter here and verse 9,
00:39:29.43\00:39:31.63
I am gonna turn my notes
over here so I don't lose
00:39:31.64\00:39:32.93
my place verse 9. And
out of one of them the winds
00:39:32.94\00:39:37.63
came forth a little horn,
which was exceeding great,
00:39:37.64\00:39:40.55
so notice how things
went here first of all you had
00:39:40.56\00:39:43.35
Medo-Persia who was great,
then you had the next kingdom
00:39:43.36\00:39:46.75
which was Greece and it said
in verse 8 they were very great.
00:39:46.76\00:39:50.47
And then you got
this little horn,
00:39:50.48\00:39:52.04
this little horn who
became how exceeding great.
00:39:52.05\00:39:54.40
So, we're looking
for something in history
00:39:54.41\00:39:55.81
here this little
horn is what we call Rome
00:39:55.82\00:39:58.41
and you'll notice that
Rome here starts off conquering
00:39:58.42\00:40:01.74
vertically or horizontally
rather on a horizontal plain,
00:40:02.02\00:40:04.15
he like conquers on the earth.
00:40:04.93\00:40:06.20
And then he turns
his attention toward God.
00:40:06.52\00:40:07.94
When he turns, when that little
horn turns into the papacy,
00:40:08.14\00:40:11.68
In Rome actually turn,
converted over into and become
00:40:11.98\00:40:14.35
what we call today the
Roman Catholic Church right.
00:40:14.36\00:40:16.63
And so first of all, look
what happens in verse 9 it says
00:40:16.84\00:40:18.72
Out of one of them
came forth a little horn,
00:40:19.05\00:40:20.44
which waxed exceeding
great, toward which direction?
00:40:20.69\00:40:23.21
South, East and
the Pleasant land.
00:40:23.98\00:40:26.26
All on a horizontal plain
field you understand that,
00:40:26.50\00:40:28.38
but look what happens to him.
00:40:28.39\00:40:29.54
And it waxed great,
even to the host of heaven
00:40:30.08\00:40:32.30
do you see the change there?
00:40:32.31\00:40:33.38
Do you see how
away from conquering
00:40:33.86\00:40:34.83
all on a horizontal
plain to starting to conquer
00:40:34.84\00:40:36.75
a try to conquer a
vertical plain right?
00:40:36.76\00:40:38.59
Try to conquer heaven.
00:40:38.60\00:40:39.81
And it cast down
some of the hosts
00:40:41.58\00:40:43.74
and the stars to the
ground, and stamped upon them.
00:40:44.21\00:40:47.32
So, now he's going up
and he is no longer just
00:40:47.33\00:40:49.73
attacking on a horizontal
plane. Now, you think about
00:40:49.74\00:40:52.43
Pagan Rome or the
Roman Empire in Daniel 2,
00:40:52.65\00:40:55.25
it was a legs of iron remember
and then iron went all the way
00:40:55.26\00:40:58.39
down into the
feet remember that.
00:40:58.42\00:40:59.75
So, it's still existed
but it was mixed with clay.
00:40:59.94\00:41:03.26
And it was like a,
you think about clay being
00:41:04.14\00:41:06.03
you think of a mankind.
00:41:06.04\00:41:07.01
Man was made out of
clay, made out of dirt right?
00:41:07.17\00:41:08.84
So, you have a mixture of
basically religion and state
00:41:09.00\00:41:12.04
and then you find here
that we went next to Daniel 7
00:41:13.04\00:41:16.62
and the
non-descript beast being Rome
00:41:17.09\00:41:19.61
had horns coming up out
of it and then a little horn
00:41:20.03\00:41:21.80
come up out of that non-descript
beast right up here three.
00:41:21.81\00:41:24.16
So, think about it the
little horn was still part
00:41:24.17\00:41:26.49
of the Roman Empire. He
came up out of the same head.
00:41:26.50\00:41:30.23
Now we're
looking here once again
00:41:31.15\00:41:32.33
and we find this
little horn rises up
00:41:32.71\00:41:34.64
and when it first rises to power
00:41:34.99\00:41:36.22
it starts conquering
horizontally on the earth.
00:41:36.42\00:41:38.94
But then it goes through a
change as well and that change
00:41:39.52\00:41:41.82
it goes through and
starts conquer how vertically
00:41:41.85\00:41:44.37
The host of Heaven he starts
attacking God in his throne.
00:41:44.77\00:41:47.06
Do you see the parallels?
00:41:47.92\00:41:48.98
Alright, let's continue
to carry on here verse 11.
00:41:49.94\00:41:51.99
Yea, he magnified himself
even to the Prince of the host,
00:41:52.84\00:41:57.10
and by him the daily
sacrifice was taken away,
00:41:57.66\00:41:59.68
and the place of the
sanctuary was cast down.
00:41:59.88\00:42:02.57
Now, we might want to
part there just for a minute
00:42:03.69\00:42:06.05
and let them kind of
think this through a little bit.
00:42:06.06\00:42:07.67
How is it that he
can magnify himself
00:42:07.97\00:42:09.74
to the prince of the host,
who is the price of the host?
00:42:09.75\00:42:11.68
Who do you think that
would be? Jesus right,
00:42:11.90\00:42:13.81
he magnifies himself to
be in the place of Jesus.
00:42:14.05\00:42:15.90
Now, remember when we
studied about the antichrist,
00:42:16.30\00:42:17.99
what would will do? He
sits in the temple of God,
00:42:18.36\00:42:20.80
showing himself that he is God.
00:42:20.81\00:42:22.82
Second Thessalonians
chapter 2 and verse 4
00:42:22.92\00:42:25.86
there I believe
that's where you find that.
00:42:25.87\00:42:26.84
If he magnifies himself he puts
himself in the place of God.
00:42:27.02\00:42:29.54
And so it says
he magnified himself
00:42:30.42\00:42:31.46
to the prince of the host,
and by him the daily sacrifice
00:42:31.64\00:42:34.81
was taken away, now
what was the daily sacrifice,
00:42:34.82\00:42:37.23
you have already studied the
sanctuary service at this point.
00:42:37.24\00:42:39.86
You've studied that
in the daily sacrifice
00:42:40.30\00:42:41.43
what took place on daily
you guys; your sins forgiven
00:42:41.44\00:42:44.03
everyday right daily
you've had your sins forgiven.
00:42:44.04\00:42:46.01
How is that he can
attack now after Christ
00:42:46.23\00:42:48.46
was on the cross what
takes place when you pray
00:42:48.47\00:42:50.27
and ask forgiven for your sins.
00:42:50.28\00:42:51.33
They go to the sanctuary right
and who does the forgiving up
00:42:52.36\00:42:55.73
there? Jesus, but now
how can he takeaway his place
00:42:55.74\00:42:58.29
as the high
priest in the sanctuary.
00:42:58.30\00:42:59.78
How can he do that?
00:42:59.98\00:43:00.95
You got to come to immediate
forgiveness you are right,
00:43:01.99\00:43:03.42
you got to come to
immediate forgiveness of sins.
00:43:03.80\00:43:05.17
So, you can kind of
see what's going on here
00:43:05.38\00:43:06.90
Daniel is seeing in vision
exactly what we're taking place
00:43:06.91\00:43:09.63
prior to the
second coming of Christ.
00:43:10.02\00:43:11.30
This is order that
how things are going,
00:43:12.39\00:43:13.82
so he is attacking the
sanctuary and verse 12 says.
00:43:13.83\00:43:16.41
And a host was given him
against the daily sacrifice
00:43:16.58\00:43:18.42
by reason of transgression,
cast the truth to the ground;
00:43:18.43\00:43:21.30
and practiced and prospered.
00:43:21.79\00:43:22.89
Now without getting too
much into detail and going back
00:43:23.63\00:43:26.31
and rehashing
old, old heart feelings
00:43:26.32\00:43:28.18
you guess might
say with some folk.
00:43:28.19\00:43:29.47
How was it that the papacy
done just those very things?
00:43:29.67\00:43:32.19
Just think about
it, does he practice
00:43:33.55\00:43:35.51
truth or error, is
truth cast to the ground?
00:43:35.52\00:43:38.84
Sure, and then it
goes on and he says
00:43:40.11\00:43:41.58
he practiced and prospered.
How they practiced and prospered
00:43:41.59\00:43:43.94
it's like the
largest Christian religion
00:43:44.44\00:43:46.38
in the whole world
with over a billion people.
00:43:46.60\00:43:48.07
So, you understand how
this is like all parallel,
00:43:49.14\00:43:50.99
how it is all fitting
what he's seeing there?
00:43:51.00\00:43:52.39
It's not an attack on anybody.
00:43:53.07\00:43:54.35
Just say oh wow!
Look what's going on
00:43:54.60\00:43:56.38
and he just sees
into the future like
00:43:56.39\00:43:58.10
this, this
antichrist power having his way.
00:43:58.11\00:44:01.11
And he is frustrated,
when you be frustrated
00:44:02.09\00:44:03.52
like if you're
one of God's people
00:44:03.56\00:44:04.68
you're living back
in the Daniel's day.
00:44:04.69\00:44:05.78
And you see this
antichrist power attacking God's
00:44:06.00\00:44:08.19
people and
attacking the sanctuary
00:44:08.20\00:44:09.82
and attacking all these things.
00:44:09.83\00:44:11.03
What will be
question you're gonna ask?
00:44:11.21\00:44:12.45
How long O Lord you
gonna let this go on
00:44:13.39\00:44:15.06
and look what happens verse12.
00:44:16.03\00:44:18.04
You know, I need to
change my slides here maybe.
00:44:19.01\00:44:20.62
They were still in the right
place don't put them up yet.
00:44:22.05\00:44:24.05
Verse 12: And a
host was given him
00:44:24.06\00:44:26.16
against the daily sacrifice
by reason of transgression,
00:44:26.37\00:44:29.70
and it cast the
truth to the ground;
00:44:30.58\00:44:31.60
and it practiced some prospered.
00:44:31.61\00:44:32.58
And Daniel says, I
heard one saint speaking,
00:44:32.77\00:44:35.10
and another saint said unto
that certain saint which spake,
00:44:35.11\00:44:38.06
How long shall be the
vision, the Hazon, this vision
00:44:38.40\00:44:40.99
I am looking at,
how long will it be,
00:44:41.00\00:44:42.86
how long shall be the vision
concerning the daily sacrifice,
00:44:42.87\00:44:45.43
the transgression of desolation,
to give both the sanctuary
00:44:45.64\00:44:48.19
and the host to be
trodden under foot?
00:44:48.20\00:44:49.41
It's like he sees all
his persecution going on.
00:44:49.61\00:44:51.70
He sees him attacking God,
00:44:51.72\00:44:52.69
he sees all
these things going on.
00:44:52.83\00:44:53.92
It's like how long
is this going to last
00:44:53.93\00:44:56.31
and look at the
answer. And he said unto me,
00:44:56.78\00:44:59.80
until 2300 Days;
then shall the sanctuary
00:45:00.37\00:45:03.95
be cleansed. Does anybody have
00:45:03.96\00:45:04.93
another translation.
Tom, what's your say
00:45:04.94\00:45:06.65
on Daniel 8:14.
It says same thing.
00:45:06.66\00:45:08.90
Days, okay because a
literal translation had,
00:45:08.91\00:45:12.79
a better literal translation
that is unto 2300 mornings
00:45:12.98\00:45:15.11
and evenings. You
have any reference?
00:45:15.12\00:45:17.52
Everybody has that? They have
00:45:17.53\00:45:18.50
a center-column
reference you'll see it's says
00:45:18.51\00:45:20.05
that actually and
2300 mornings and evenings.
00:45:20.06\00:45:22.44
Those of you at
home, if you got your Bible
00:45:22.45\00:45:24.29
and you can open it
up there to Daniel 8:14.
00:45:24.30\00:45:26.61
If you've any other translation
you may have it correctly.
00:45:26.62\00:45:28.65
But it should say, if
it's say unto 2300 days
00:45:28.87\00:45:32.00
you can look in the
center-column reference
00:45:32.16\00:45:33.51
or another place and you
can find it actually referencing
00:45:33.61\00:45:36.65
and saying unto 2300
morning and evenings.
00:45:36.66\00:45:39.15
All right and
it's very important,
00:45:39.73\00:45:41.61
we understand that
now let's get verse 15
00:45:41.82\00:45:43.70
that's where we're go to next.
00:45:43.71\00:45:44.68
So, we've got this question and
we've got a sort of an answer.
00:45:44.78\00:45:47.75
The question was?
How long are you gonna
00:45:48.26\00:45:49.96
let this go on?
And the answer comes,
00:45:49.97\00:45:53.18
until 2300 days
then the sanctuary
00:45:53.19\00:45:56.16
will be cleansed.
Now, do you remember
00:45:56.17\00:45:57.31
what happened on the
cleansing of the sanctuary,
00:45:57.32\00:45:58.83
when you done
your sanctuary study.
00:45:58.84\00:45:59.89
Do you remember
what takes place?
00:45:59.90\00:46:00.87
The day of Atonement,
it's the day of Atonement.
00:46:02.07\00:46:03.30
That word neatly divides
up into act one that right.
00:46:03.93\00:46:06.43
But at that time all the sins
of the people were cleansed.
00:46:06.59\00:46:11.28
Everything is cleansed,
everything is made right.
00:46:11.45\00:46:12.79
And everybody got
a fresh start right.
00:46:13.70\00:46:14.85
And so as he is
looking at this year.
00:46:15.77\00:46:17.61
Daniel is looking at this and
sees all this stuff happening
00:46:17.97\00:46:19.89
and he says unto 2300 days then
the sanctuary will be cleansed.
00:46:19.90\00:46:22.45
You know in Daniel's mind
what automatically drawn to,
00:46:22.46\00:46:24.41
which sanctuary do you
think his mind to be drawn to?
00:46:24.42\00:46:26.44
The one in
heaven or one on earth.
00:46:26.45\00:46:27.69
The one on earth
actually right that's obviously
00:46:28.80\00:46:31.48
you can read that
in the Old Testament,
00:46:31.64\00:46:33.30
Mosses is
making one of the copy,
00:46:33.31\00:46:34.87
the one in heaven.
Does the one on earth
00:46:35.94\00:46:36.91
and Daniel's mind
probably this time be cleansed?
00:46:36.92\00:46:38.32
Not his mind right so,
he's gonna thank it must
00:46:39.55\00:46:41.08
be the one on earth. And
so he gets a little confused
00:46:41.09\00:46:43.14
and when we'll look at
that as we go on a little bit
00:46:43.77\00:46:45.46
as we get to Daniel chapter 9.
00:46:45.47\00:46:46.53
So, we're gonna
pick it up in verse 15
00:46:46.89\00:46:48.88
and what we're gonna
find starting in verse 15.
00:46:49.24\00:46:52.09
We're gonna find that God
gives a detail explanation
00:46:52.48\00:46:54.91
of the entire vision, except
the 2300 mornings and evenings.
00:46:55.28\00:47:00.19
So, he gets the detailed
explanation of everything
00:47:01.29\00:47:02.86
except the 2300 mornings and
evenings and Daniel is confused.
00:47:02.87\00:47:05.66
Let's look at
it, it came to pass
00:47:05.86\00:47:07.98
when I, even I
Daniel, had seen the Hazon,
00:47:08.19\00:47:11.57
the vision, and
sought for the meaning.
00:47:11.58\00:47:14.01
Then behold, there stood before
me as the appearance of a man.
00:47:14.39\00:47:17.30
And I heard the man's
voice between the banks of Ulai,
00:47:18.92\00:47:21.10
which called and said, Gabriel
00:47:21.11\00:47:23.06
make this man to
understand the vision.
00:47:23.25\00:47:24.84
Gabriel helped Daniel to
understand what he's seen here.
00:47:25.64\00:47:27.31
So, he came near where I stood:
00:47:28.06\00:47:29.34
and when he came, I was afraid,
00:47:29.93\00:47:30.98
and fell on my
face, I imagine you would
00:47:30.99\00:47:32.36
be too if an
angel come near to you,
00:47:32.37\00:47:33.67
may be in all of his
glory, I would fall on my face.
00:47:33.68\00:47:35.40
Makes perfect sense to
me, so Daniel fell on his face
00:47:37.28\00:47:38.25
and he was afraid.
But he said unto me,
00:47:38.26\00:47:41.15
Understand, O son of
man: for the time of the end
00:47:41.16\00:47:44.87
shall be the vision. So,
according to what we have
00:47:44.88\00:47:46.68
looked at so far.
This vision that Daniel
00:47:46.69\00:47:47.95
just had in Daniel chapter
8, what is it specifically
00:47:47.96\00:47:51.10
referring to?
The time of the end.
00:47:51.11\00:47:53.71
Are you okay with that?
00:47:53.72\00:47:54.96
So, it could have fit all
the way back in Daniel's days.
00:47:54.99\00:47:58.02
Is that when his
vision is applying to?
00:47:58.05\00:47:59.09
No, it's applying
to the time of the end.
00:47:59.70\00:48:00.77
The time you
and I are living in,
00:48:00.78\00:48:02.00
so this vision is
for the time of the end.
00:48:02.58\00:48:04.02
Now, he was speaking with me,
00:48:04.81\00:48:06.40
and I was in a deep sleep
on my face toward the ground;
00:48:06.74\00:48:08.69
but he touched me
and he set me upright.
00:48:09.04\00:48:10.66
Gave him strength and he said,
00:48:11.59\00:48:12.83
Behold, I will
make you know what shall
00:48:13.06\00:48:16.46
be in the last end
of the indignation.
00:48:16.47\00:48:19.49
I am gonna let you
know what's at the very end
00:48:19.82\00:48:20.85
of this whole
mess, isn't that good?
00:48:21.02\00:48:22.72
I am gonna let you know
how is all gonna wrap up.
00:48:23.83\00:48:25.12
For the time appointed,
00:48:26.26\00:48:27.69
at the time
appointed the end shall be.
00:48:28.11\00:48:30.17
So, is there
appointed time for the end.
00:48:30.56\00:48:32.06
Sure, as a time
appointed, the way they end.
00:48:32.85\00:48:34.43
Now, look at verse 20,
how would I know while I go
00:48:34.80\00:48:36.48
that the ram, that
the ram I was looking at
00:48:36.49\00:48:38.43
how did I know that,
that represented Medo-Persian.
00:48:38.44\00:48:40.16
Because I looked
ahead in the book,
00:48:40.54\00:48:41.51
because it says, the
ram which you saw having
00:48:41.72\00:48:43.49
two horns are the
Kings of Media and Persia.
00:48:43.50\00:48:46.06
So, do we have that,
does Daniel probably not
00:48:46.47\00:48:48.23
understands that
part of the vision?
00:48:48.40\00:48:49.38
Of course he
understands it right,
00:48:50.34\00:48:51.34
he understands that the
ram represent Medo-Persia,
00:48:51.35\00:48:53.12
right, no
problem with that, right?
00:48:53.13\00:48:54.98
Now, let's go to the next verse
00:48:54.99\00:48:55.96
and the rough goat
is the king of Greece,
00:48:56.27\00:48:58.23
I wonder what the rough goat is.
00:48:59.07\00:49:00.87
The King of Greece
right and the great horn
00:49:01.89\00:49:03.82
between his eyes
is the first King.
00:49:03.83\00:49:05.37
And who was the first King?
00:49:05.55\00:49:06.52
Alexander the Great now
did Daniel understand this part
00:49:06.53\00:49:09.50
of the vision so far is suppose.
00:49:09.51\00:49:10.90
Absolutely, I
mean without a doubt
00:49:11.56\00:49:12.95
if I come up to you and
said this is what it represents
00:49:13.13\00:49:14.80
and this is from God.
Daniel probably says okay
00:49:14.81\00:49:16.39
God I understand perfectly.
00:49:16.40\00:49:17.80
Now, the next part of
it, now that being broken,
00:49:18.18\00:49:20.78
whereas four stood up for it,
four kingdoms shall arise out
00:49:20.92\00:49:24.42
of that nation, but
not in his own power,
00:49:24.43\00:49:26.08
four kingdoms shall
arise out of that nation,
00:49:27.08\00:49:28.66
but not in his own power.
00:49:28.67\00:49:29.64
Do you think that Daniel
understand that the four kings
00:49:29.65\00:49:32.49
will arise out of that
nation? Sure, he did, simple.
00:49:32.50\00:49:36.20
And in the latter time,
much latter of their kingdom,
00:49:37.17\00:49:40.33
when the transgressors
are come to the full,
00:49:40.91\00:49:42.66
a King of fierce
countenance, and understanding
00:49:43.04\00:49:44.84
dark sentences, shall stand up.
00:49:45.03\00:49:47.27
So somebody
understanding like mysteries
00:49:47.93\00:49:49.48
and things like that right.
And his power shall be mighty,
00:49:49.49\00:49:52.95
but not by his own
power: isn't that fascinating,
00:49:53.51\00:49:56.25
but not by his own
power whose power will be by.
00:49:56.26\00:49:57.91
Revelation Chapter 13
and verse 2 when it says:
00:50:01.15\00:50:02.82
The dragon gave his
power to the beast right.
00:50:02.83\00:50:06.64
And so parallels
were looking at here,
00:50:06.65\00:50:08.22
when it says that he will have
power but it won't be his own,
00:50:08.23\00:50:11.89
he will get it from the devil.
00:50:11.90\00:50:13.29
So, you're gonna have
this power rise from the devil.
00:50:13.30\00:50:16.14
He shall destroy wonderfully,
00:50:16.15\00:50:17.79
and I took a little
liberty there to find out
00:50:17.80\00:50:20.81
what wonderfully was
there, what's he talking about?
00:50:20.82\00:50:22.64
He will destroy good things,
00:50:22.65\00:50:24.85
he will be
destroying good things.
00:50:24.86\00:50:27.09
And shall prosper, and practice,
00:50:27.10\00:50:29.52
and destroy the
mighty and holy people.
00:50:29.53\00:50:31.49
Now, who are the
mighty and holy people?
00:50:31.50\00:50:33.50
God's people, he is
gonna war against the saints,
00:50:33.51\00:50:35.47
you understand that right.
00:50:35.48\00:50:36.60
Parallels Daniel
7, Parallels Daniel 2
00:50:36.61\00:50:39.27
And through his policy
also he shall cause craft
00:50:39.28\00:50:43.19
to prosper in his hand;
and he will magnify himself.
00:50:43.20\00:50:47.58
Now, again it kind
of goes long before
00:50:47.59\00:50:51.08
we already looked at in
the, when the prophecy was given
00:50:51.09\00:50:53.30
in Daniel chapter 8
back a little earlier,
00:50:53.31\00:50:54.80
when it says that in
verse 11. He magnified himself,
00:50:54.81\00:50:57.83
remember that and
then we read over here
00:50:57.84\00:50:59.21
and it says in
explanation of that,
00:50:59.22\00:51:01.19
it says: He shall destroy
the mighty people and the holy
00:51:01.20\00:51:03.71
and through his policy, he
shall cause craft to prosper
00:51:03.72\00:51:06.57
in his hand and he
shall magnify himself.
00:51:06.58\00:51:08.88
What was the devils problem?
What was he wanting him to do?
00:51:08.89\00:51:11.55
Magnify himself right
and because he couldn't do it
00:51:11.56\00:51:14.72
and he couldn't come to
earth and magnify himself here,
00:51:14.73\00:51:16.53
because we know we're
not going to openly worship
00:51:16.54\00:51:18.15
the devil when
its openly him right.
00:51:18.16\00:51:19.53
He puts the front man up
in his place remember that.
00:51:19.54\00:51:21.57
Devil puts the
front man in his place
00:51:21.58\00:51:23.17
and he gets that
guy to magnify himself,
00:51:23.18\00:51:24.98
because the devil
knows if we're worshiping
00:51:24.99\00:51:26.81
anything other than God,
we're worshiping the devil,
00:51:26.82\00:51:29.41
right? Anything other
than him you're not worshiping,
00:51:29.42\00:51:32.18
you're not worshiping God,
you're worshiping the devil.
00:51:32.19\00:51:33.78
And so he puts this guy
up and he magnifies himself.
00:51:33.79\00:51:36.19
And everybody says oh!
Look, holy people follow them
00:51:36.20\00:51:39.68
and God says no
don't follow them,
00:51:39.69\00:51:41.71
he says follow me. And so,
this guy is gonna be successful.
00:51:41.72\00:51:46.11
He's gonna calls
his stuff to prosper,
00:51:46.12\00:51:47.36
he's gonna magnify
himself in his heart.
00:51:47.37\00:51:49.12
I am still in verse 25. And
by peace shall destroy many,
00:51:49.13\00:51:53.90
interesting statement isn't
it? By peace shall destroy many,
00:51:53.91\00:51:57.07
you understand
that what that's saying.
00:51:57.08\00:52:00.38
Well, now think
about it in a minute,
00:52:00.39\00:52:01.57
when we think of the papacy
00:52:01.58\00:52:02.62
and I know this is
gonna be sound little harsh,
00:52:02.63\00:52:04.29
when we think of
the papacy most people
00:52:04.30\00:52:05.52
in the world
think of what peace.
00:52:05.53\00:52:08.08
Through that
peace he gains power
00:52:08.09\00:52:09.94
and what happens
when he gains power?
00:52:09.95\00:52:11.86
He destroys,
isn't it interesting
00:52:11.87\00:52:14.27
how this plays out here?
00:52:14.28\00:52:15.73
Now you see, I
mean, the Dark Ages
00:52:15.74\00:52:16.87
that's basically
what happen wasn't it?
00:52:16.88\00:52:18.19
I mean, if you
think of the church
00:52:18.20\00:52:19.31
even in the Dark Ages
and you think of the church
00:52:19.32\00:52:21.07
of Christ in the Dark
Ages. What do you thinking of
00:52:21.08\00:52:23.44
and if you're living then?
Well, he's the peaceful guy;
00:52:23.45\00:52:25.82
he is like the
leader of the church.
00:52:25.83\00:52:27.18
The one representing Christ,
00:52:27.19\00:52:28.67
but by means of him using that
00:52:28.68\00:52:31.82
as a platform to
destroy God's people.
00:52:31.83\00:52:34.96
Daniel was seeing this in
his vision can you imagine
00:52:34.97\00:52:36.80
how tore up he probably was.
00:52:36.81\00:52:38.12
But he think he understood
kind of what he was saying here.
00:52:38.13\00:52:40.33
I mean, the descriptions
are pretty clear aren't they?
00:52:40.34\00:52:41.85
This guy is
going to be conquering,
00:52:41.86\00:52:42.93
he's going to
be slamming people,
00:52:42.94\00:52:43.91
he's gonna be doing
lot of harm isn't he?
00:52:43.92\00:52:45.63
So, through his policy, he
shall cause craft to prosper,
00:52:45.64\00:52:48.14
he'll magnify
himself in his heart;
00:52:48.15\00:52:50.36
he shall by peace
shall destroy many
00:52:50.37\00:52:53.30
he will also stand up
against the Prince of Princes
00:52:53.31\00:52:56.84
stand up against
who? Jesus himself,
00:52:56.85\00:52:59.95
and we know how it took place
00:52:59.96\00:53:01.72
But he shall be
broken without hand.
00:53:01.73\00:53:04.27
Showing a
supernatural intervention right?
00:53:04.28\00:53:06.51
Supernatural intervention
broken without hand,
00:53:06.52\00:53:08.47
just like when
a stone comes back
00:53:08.48\00:53:09.95
and destroys the
image in Daniel chapter 2,
00:53:09.96\00:53:11.71
if that stone was cut
of mouth without hand.
00:53:11.72\00:53:14.31
Right, now look at the
next part of the verse.
00:53:14.32\00:53:17.13
And the Mareh, the
Mareh, he's actually using a
00:53:17.14\00:53:22.87
different term for vision
here. Look at upon the screen,
00:53:22.88\00:53:26.49
the term for vision used here.
00:53:26.50\00:53:28.07
We saw the
vision was Hazon there
00:53:28.08\00:53:30.44
but now he's using a
different term for vision
00:53:30.45\00:53:32.09
in Daniel
chapter 8 verse 26 and 27
00:53:32.10\00:53:34.24
and the term he is
using here is Mareh
00:53:34.25\00:53:36.76
and look how's it's worded.
In the Mareh or the vision
00:53:36.77\00:53:39.87
of the evening and the
morning which was told is true.
00:53:39.88\00:53:42.38
The vision of what?
Evening and the morning
00:53:42.39\00:53:45.18
what's that referring
to? Yeah, to Daniel 8:14
00:53:45.19\00:53:48.80
because it was to the
2300 evenings and mornings.
00:53:48.81\00:53:51.07
Now, notice here, he
says the vision of the Mareh.
00:53:51.08\00:53:53.82
He sets it apart different.
00:53:53.83\00:53:57.18
He is not talking
about now the whole Hazon,
00:53:57.19\00:53:59.91
the whole entire vision.
He is focusing in on 2300 days
00:53:59.92\00:54:03.41
the vision of
Mareh, the 2300 days
00:54:03.42\00:54:06.08
the evening and the
morning which was told is true:
00:54:06.09\00:54:08.21
Wherefore shut up the Mareh
for it shall be for many days.
00:54:08.22\00:54:13.34
Actually, I believe
there, let me make sure that
00:54:13.35\00:54:15.37
I got that one
correct. With a vision there,
00:54:15.38\00:54:18.97
let me look in the
Bible. Yeah still Mareh
00:54:18.98\00:54:21.66
and I Daniel fainted,
and was sick certain days;
00:54:21.67\00:54:24.61
afterward I rose up,
and did the King's business;
00:54:24.62\00:54:27.36
and I was
astonished at the Mareh,
00:54:27.37\00:54:30.65
but none understood it.
00:54:30.66\00:54:32.04
What is it that
nobody understood?
00:54:32.05\00:54:33.70
The 2300 days, he actually
makes it plain right there
00:54:33.71\00:54:37.83
when he says I was astonished,
if he would have said Hazon,
00:54:37.84\00:54:40.85
he'd been talking
about the whole vision.
00:54:40.86\00:54:42.09
I really don't,
astonish I don't understand it.
00:54:42.10\00:54:43.81
But when you look at it
there the actual word used there
00:54:43.82\00:54:46.57
is a different word then
when he was talking about
00:54:46.58\00:54:48.19
the whole vision.
When he narrowed it down
00:54:48.20\00:54:50.24
to just the 2300 days,
he used a different term,
00:54:50.25\00:54:53.74
Mareh and he said
but nobody understood it.
00:54:53.75\00:54:55.81
Nobody understood the Mareh?
00:54:55.82\00:54:58.39
And so Daniel here
is confused isn't he?
00:54:58.40\00:55:00.64
He's like Oh! Man, I
wonder what's going on,
00:55:00.65\00:55:04.04
I don't understand
the 2300 day part of it,
00:55:04.05\00:55:05.95
I don't understand that part.
And then you know what happens?
00:55:05.96\00:55:10.35
He got sick and he fainted.
And because he done that
00:55:10.36\00:55:15.66
we have to wait to
get part 2 of the study
00:55:15.67\00:55:18.82
and find out what happens
at the end of the 2300 days
00:55:18.83\00:55:22.93
or the Mareh that
Daniel didn't understand.
00:55:22.94\00:55:25.24
So, he had tough time
to understanding that part
00:55:25.25\00:55:27.42
and because he did we had to
go into the whole new chapter.
00:55:27.43\00:55:30.13
Daniel chapter 9 and he
is gonna get the explanation
00:55:30.14\00:55:32.68
in Daniel chapter
9 of what happened
00:55:32.69\00:55:34.59
at the end of 2300
days. So is there any question
00:55:34.60\00:55:37.57
so far regarding
what we looked at?
00:55:37.58\00:55:40.04
Is it making sense?
As we went through that,
00:55:40.05\00:55:42.17
you understand that the
Mareh, the 2300 day part of it.
00:55:42.18\00:55:44.84
The evening and morning
that part of the vision,
00:55:44.85\00:55:46.68
even though it's right
in the center of the Hazon
00:55:46.69\00:55:49.27
the entire vision
Daniel specifies that out
00:55:49.28\00:55:51.17
and he calls it out
separately right there.
00:55:51.18\00:55:53.49
And so what we'll do
tomorrow is actually find out
00:55:53.50\00:55:56.29
what that is,
what it is that happens
00:55:56.30\00:55:58.86
at the end of 2300
days, how it begins,
00:55:58.87\00:56:00.81
when it begins and
what God has to say
00:56:00.82\00:56:03.31
about all that.
All right and so for
00:56:03.32\00:56:05.62
those of you at home
if you want to make sure,
00:56:05.63\00:56:07.27

that you come back tomorrow
00:56:07.28\00:56:08.89

by this time you can go
to the website and download
00:56:10.35\00:56:12.67
tomorrow's presentation. I
think that kind of prophetic
00:56:12.68\00:56:14.74
it doesn't it?
That they can go to,
00:56:14.75\00:56:16.00
I can tell them
right now they can go
00:56:16.01\00:56:17.11
to website and get it
and it is not there yet.
00:56:17.12\00:56:19.93
Because we're gonna
be doing it tomorrow.
00:56:19.94\00:56:21.30
Better to be there by
the time you get there
00:56:21.31\00:56:23.21

second half of this presentation
00:56:23.22\00:56:24.90

the rest of 2300 days
00:56:24.91\00:56:26.70
we'll do a quick review.
00:56:26.71\00:56:27.74
And then we'll find
out exactly when this ends,
00:56:27.75\00:56:29.97

00:56:29.98\00:56:31.22
