Harvest truly is plenteous,
00:00:01.98\00:00:02.95
but the laborers are
few. Pray ye therefore,
00:00:02.96\00:00:05.03
the Lord of the
harvest, that he will,
00:00:05.04\00:00:07.20
he will send forth
laborers into his harvest.
00:00:07.21\00:00:10.27
Also, I heard the
voice of the Lord saying,
00:00:10.28\00:00:13.04
"Whom shall I send?
And who will go for us?"
00:00:13.67\00:00:17.51
Then said I, "Here
am I, send me, send me".
00:00:17.98\00:00:22.85
Life on the Edge
will enable you to be an
00:00:23.33\00:00:25.76
effective
harvester for the Lord.
00:00:25.77\00:00:27.37
We now invite you into our
00:00:27.95\00:00:29.39
classroom to
come, experience Life.
00:00:29.40\00:00:33.84
Welcome back to
Pine Lake Retreat
00:00:43.59\00:00:44.89
in sunny Groveland, Florida.
00:00:44.90\00:00:47.28
I'm glad
everybody is able to get up
00:00:47.29\00:00:48.59
this morning
and be here on time.
00:00:48.60\00:00:51.18
And I want to
welcome you at home for being
00:00:51.19\00:00:52.94
here with us that,
that you are with us today.
00:00:52.95\00:00:54.77
We're glad that you
was able to make it.
00:00:54.78\00:00:57.43
Today, we gonna be going over
00:00:57.44\00:00:58.88
the second part of
the Judgment, Judgment 2,
00:00:58.89\00:01:02.20
actually the Judgment 2, part 2.
00:01:02.21\00:01:03.98
Yesterday, went over
the Judgment 2, part 1
00:01:03.99\00:01:05.97
and you can find
that on our website,
00:01:05.98\00:01:08.33
if you are tuning in
right now for the first time.
00:01:08.34\00:01:10.19
And we're going to pick
up in the middle of a study
00:01:10.20\00:01:12.35
and it seems confusing to you.
00:01:12.36\00:01:14.44
You can...you can actually
go on to the website or...
00:01:14.45\00:01:16.32
or maybe you can
actually order the DVD.
00:01:16.33\00:01:18.22
You will be able
to do that as well
00:01:18.23\00:01:19.20
if you want to have
your own hard copy of it,
00:01:19.21\00:01:20.84
you can do that at
www.comeexperiencelife.com.
00:01:20.85\00:01:24.94
And you can also
download the study guide
00:01:24.95\00:01:26.70
that goes along with
what we are doing here,
00:01:26.71\00:01:28.33
you can download
that at the same place.
00:01:28.34\00:01:30.89
And so what we are
going to be doing right now
00:01:30.90\00:01:32.30
is going into the
second half of that study.
00:01:32.31\00:01:35.22
Yesterday, we covered
all the details about how
00:01:35.23\00:01:38.77
we get up to the point
of an investigative judgment
00:01:38.78\00:01:41.24
is going to begin sometime
after what year according
00:01:41.25\00:01:44.48
what we just...
if we, let's stop,
00:01:44.49\00:01:46.17
let's go this way, let's
just stop at Daniel chapter 7.
00:01:46.18\00:01:48.50
We were at Daniel
chapter 7, you remember that?
00:01:48.51\00:01:50.40
And we actually set a date,
00:01:50.41\00:01:51.52
that the judgment
has to begin sometime
00:01:51.53\00:01:53.34
after what year,
does anybody remember?
00:01:53.35\00:01:54.81
1798, yes, when he receives
the deadly wounded there,
00:01:54.82\00:01:57.94
the antichrist
receives a deadly wound.
00:01:57.95\00:01:59.63
After that according to Daniel
7 the judgment will begin,
00:01:59.64\00:02:02.24
we went through
three times in Daniel 7.
00:02:02.25\00:02:05.01
It shows three times in
there the order of events,
00:02:05.02\00:02:07.37
Babylon, Medo
Persia, Greece, Rome.
00:02:07.38\00:02:09.98
Rome is divided, then
the little horn power rises
00:02:09.99\00:02:12.69
and then the little horn
makes war with the saints
00:02:12.70\00:02:14.44
and wars against the saints.
00:02:14.45\00:02:15.58
And then after he
wars with the saints,
00:02:15.59\00:02:17.23
the Bible says, it ought
to go for a certain time,
00:02:17.82\00:02:20.18
and then the judgment begins.
00:02:20.19\00:02:21.23
And then what
happens after the judgment?
00:02:21.24\00:02:22.74
The coming of the Christ,
right, we got to go back,
00:02:24.46\00:02:25.99
we get to go to heaven,
00:02:26.00\00:02:26.97
it's all over this
world just ends, right.
00:02:26.98\00:02:28.67
And so, he laid that out three
times in a row in Daniel 7,
00:02:28.68\00:02:32.40
and then we went to
the Daniel chapter 8,
00:02:32.41\00:02:34.33
and we showed that
Daniel chapter 8 started,
00:02:34.34\00:02:36.26
instead with Babylon like
Daniel 2, and Daniel 7 did.
00:02:36.27\00:02:39.88
What did Daniel chapter
8 start with, what kingdom?
00:02:39.89\00:02:41.94
Medo Persia, and then I made
the statement there yesterday.
00:02:42.46\00:02:45.50
And this where we're
gonna get to the proving
00:02:45.51\00:02:46.76
point out of this today.
00:02:46.77\00:02:47.74
But the Medo-Persian Empire,
00:02:47.75\00:02:49.29
whenever, the reason
the Bible starts right there
00:02:49.92\00:02:52.69
is because it was
during their reign,
00:02:52.70\00:02:54.48
the Medo Persia was reigning,
00:02:54.49\00:02:55.60
whenever the time line
part of prophecy of Daniel 8.
00:02:55.61\00:02:58.71
Whenever that
timeline prophecy starts,
00:02:58.72\00:03:00.12
the Medo
Persians would be ruling.
00:03:00.13\00:03:02.22
So the reason I
didn't start with Babylon,
00:03:02.23\00:03:03.61
even though
Babylon was still ruling
00:03:03.62\00:03:04.67
when Daniel was
having this vision.
00:03:04.68\00:03:05.94
It begins with the
Medo-Persian Empire
00:03:05.95\00:03:07.83
and the reason is so is
because the whole beginning
00:03:07.84\00:03:10.88
of the timeline
prophecy began at 457 BC.
00:03:10.89\00:03:13.80
In the 457 BC
during that timeframe
00:03:14.65\00:03:17.02
when the
Medo-Persian Empire was ruling.
00:03:17.03\00:03:18.80
So that's kind gives us
a little bit of overview
00:03:18.81\00:03:20.54
of what we were at yesterday,
00:03:20.55\00:03:22.03
and we'll touch
on that again today,
00:03:22.04\00:03:23.87
we're going in more
detail with it today.
00:03:23.88\00:03:25.23
Right now, we'll
go the screen here,
00:03:26.49\00:03:27.56
you see we're at the 2300
day, the Judgment 2 study.
00:03:27.57\00:03:30.07
And...and when you
label that in your Bible,
00:03:30.08\00:03:33.19
as you're marking your Bible,
you would be labeled with J2,
00:03:33.20\00:03:35.58
you won't write Judgment 2,
that will take a lot of space.
00:03:35.59\00:03:37.63
So, you just write J2, you know,
00:03:37.64\00:03:39.58
when you're
marking through your Bible.
00:03:40.31\00:03:41.71
And we looked yesterday,
the purpose of this study,
00:03:41.72\00:03:43.77
the purpose is, the end time,
pre-advent judgment commenced
00:03:43.78\00:03:47.47
in 1844 AD when
Jesus Christ entered
00:03:47.48\00:03:50.53
into the Most Holy Place
of the Heavenly Sanctuary.
00:03:50.54\00:03:52.77
So the purpose of the
study is to show that,
00:03:52.78\00:03:55.07
to show that from the Bible.
00:03:55.08\00:03:56.71
And some people are
saying how in the world
00:03:56.72\00:03:58.75
can you get that
out of the Bible?
00:03:58.76\00:03:59.76
Stick around and
you'll see. You'll find out.
00:03:59.77\00:04:02.35
And then let's go on
to the next slide here.
00:04:02.36\00:04:04.52
Center it, we're
centering it on the very fact,
00:04:05.29\00:04:07.78
the center of the
study, what it's showing,
00:04:07.79\00:04:09.01
what we are
trying to show, it says,
00:04:09.02\00:04:10.28
Jesus is fair, Jesus is fair,
00:04:10.29\00:04:12.63
therefore He judges us
before He gives us our reward.
00:04:12.64\00:04:15.53
And you remember yesterday,
we went through all the times,
00:04:15.54\00:04:18.02
not all the times obviously but
quite a few times in the Bible.
00:04:18.03\00:04:20.78
Where...where before
Jesus before God would ever pass
00:04:20.79\00:04:24.05
judgment on somebody,
what would He first do?
00:04:24.06\00:04:26.20
He would investigate, right?
He would give them opportunity.
00:04:27.81\00:04:30.08
When Adam and Eve
sinned, He came down
00:04:30.09\00:04:31.36
and He questioned them.
00:04:31.37\00:04:32.34
He didn't just come
down and pass judgment
00:04:32.35\00:04:33.74
because that would
give somebody an opportunity
00:04:33.75\00:04:36.16
possibly to say, I'm not
sure He was fair with that.
00:04:36.17\00:04:38.68
But when He comes
down and He investigates,
00:04:38.69\00:04:40.77
they actually confess
out of their own mouth,
00:04:40.78\00:04:42.48
yeah, you're
right. And you know,
00:04:42.49\00:04:44.18
what the Bible teaches,
at the end of the Judgment,
00:04:44.19\00:04:46.17
at the end when Christ comes,
00:04:46.18\00:04:47.17
what's the Bible
says is going to happen,
00:04:47.18\00:04:48.39
every knee will bow,
everyone's gonna say,
00:04:48.40\00:04:50.75
hey, He was fair and
just. But how can they say
00:04:50.76\00:04:53.36
that unless He's
first and they know,
00:04:53.37\00:04:55.27
they understand that what He
has done has been fair and just.
00:04:55.28\00:04:57.65
He actually spends
time to investigate,
00:04:57.66\00:04:59.27
and He, and its
proved, it just proved positive
00:04:59.28\00:05:01.63
that God is a God of love,
00:05:01.64\00:05:03.24
a God of fairness
and a God of Justice.
00:05:03.25\00:05:04.72
So, you know, there...
there's a lot of forces out
00:05:05.34\00:05:07.59
there right now in the
world that...that try to teach
00:05:07.60\00:05:09.29
that God is
none of those things.
00:05:09.30\00:05:10.34
They try to teach that
God is not fair, not just,
00:05:11.34\00:05:14.04
and as we went
through these studies,
00:05:14.05\00:05:15.33
we've seen some of those
points brought about like,
00:05:15.34\00:05:17.02
like the devil
what have you believe
00:05:17.03\00:05:18.83
that whenever a
sinner that's lost,
00:05:18.84\00:05:21.70
whenever they get their reward,
00:05:22.14\00:05:23.53
that their reward is actually
eternity in the flames of hell.
00:05:23.54\00:05:26.43
And as it paints
God like as a tyrant,
00:05:26.81\00:05:28.48
remember we studied that,
00:05:28.49\00:05:29.46
makes Him look like a
scoundrel, doesn't it?
00:05:29.47\00:05:31.17
because we would
never do that to our kids.
00:05:31.18\00:05:33.24
But yet God would do that to His
creative beings whom He loves.
00:05:33.76\00:05:36.49
It didn't make sense,
we went through the Bible,
00:05:36.50\00:05:38.33
and we showed, we done
the... or the hell study there.
00:05:38.34\00:05:40.73
The very fact that
God is God of love,
00:05:40.74\00:05:42.56
and He's not going
to burn sinners forever.
00:05:42.57\00:05:44.09
So you have the
force in the world teaching
00:05:44.10\00:05:45.99
that God is a tyrant
and then God comes along,
00:05:46.00\00:05:47.99
he wants us to
show that as His people,
00:05:48.00\00:05:49.97
He wants us to
present from His word
00:05:49.98\00:05:52.07
and in our lives that God
is not a tyrant like that.
00:05:52.08\00:05:54.60
And He goes through
each of the studies,
00:05:54.61\00:05:56.00
you'll find out God
has a day of rest for us.
00:05:56.01\00:05:57.78
And the devil is
trying to take that away.
00:05:58.28\00:06:00.14
He wants us
working 24 hours a day,
00:06:00.15\00:06:01.54
seven days a week, and
never spend that time with Him.
00:06:01.55\00:06:03.58
And so as we're
going through this study,
00:06:04.45\00:06:06.69
now we are finding
out in the 2300 day,
00:06:06.70\00:06:08.69
the judgment
scene. Some people want
00:06:08.70\00:06:10.28
to reject that altogether,
that is not a judgment,
00:06:10.29\00:06:12.24
but you think about it.
If it was not a judgment,
00:06:12.25\00:06:14.28
if God doesn't take
time to do the judging
00:06:14.29\00:06:17.01
and make sure that He's fair
and just in all that He does.
00:06:17.02\00:06:20.10
Then that would
say, someone could say,
00:06:20.11\00:06:21.51
you know, what?
00:06:21.52\00:06:22.49
I was lost but God
was unfair with me.
00:06:22.50\00:06:24.01
But if God took time
to look at your case.
00:06:25.00\00:06:26.96
If God took the
time to make sure that...
00:06:27.68\00:06:29.40
that the people who
are going to be in heaven
00:06:29.41\00:06:31.07
are going to be safe out there
00:06:31.08\00:06:32.31
for at least the
ages of eternity?
00:06:32.32\00:06:33.62
And...and the
people that were lost,
00:06:34.09\00:06:35.81
deserved to be lost, and
He took the time to do that,
00:06:35.82\00:06:37.72
then you can say that
God is fair, and God is just.
00:06:37.73\00:06:40.28
We'd all be able to
confess that wouldn't we.
00:06:40.29\00:06:41.73
You know, in the book of
Nahum chapter 1 and verse 9,
00:06:41.74\00:06:44.04
it says that,
"Affliction and sin,
00:06:44.05\00:06:45.55
it will not rise its
ugly head up a second time."
00:06:45.56\00:06:47.68
And so after Jesus
comes, how could He be sure
00:06:48.37\00:06:50.54
that this stuff is
not going to happen again?
00:06:50.55\00:06:52.16
He's first done a Judgment
and He has looked at the hearts,
00:06:52.87\00:06:55.50
He has looked at the
case of each one of us,
00:06:55.51\00:06:56.89
and He said, you know what?
I can trust Darlene, right,
00:06:56.90\00:06:59.67
I can trust Shalida
here, I can trust Thausen,
00:06:59.68\00:07:01.95
He's making a point
that I know I can trust Him
00:07:01.96\00:07:04.02
for eternity because I
have looked at their case.
00:07:04.03\00:07:05.82
And so heaven is
going to be a safe place.
00:07:06.31\00:07:07.95
You know, I have
heard people say,
00:07:08.87\00:07:09.84
you're not going to
lock your doors in heaven,
00:07:09.85\00:07:10.82
my house ain't
gonna have a door.
00:07:10.83\00:07:11.80
You know, why?
00:07:12.49\00:07:13.46
Here we go now, we
left off that yesterday
00:07:15.15\00:07:16.75
in Daniel chapter 2,
Daniel chapter 8 rather,
00:07:16.76\00:07:18.91
Daniel chapter
8, we went through
00:07:18.92\00:07:20.00
all the way down
through verse 27.
00:07:20.01\00:07:22.27
Now I'm just
gonna pick up right now,
00:07:22.28\00:07:23.90
with a little short review here,
00:07:23.91\00:07:25.45
just so we can kind of
fill in the blank here.
00:07:25.46\00:07:27.90
Remember we looked at two words
for vision in Daniel chapter 8.
00:07:27.91\00:07:33.64
Yeah, Daniel chapter 8,
we looked at the two words
00:07:34.33\00:07:36.05
for the vision like the
word was translated vision.
00:07:36.06\00:07:37.82
Two different
ways, two different words
00:07:37.83\00:07:40.31
that are translated
vision in Daniel chapter 8,
00:07:40.32\00:07:42.26
one is we look in the
verses 1, 2, 3, 15 to 17
00:07:42.27\00:07:46.02
all those
verses and Daniel 9:21,
00:07:46.03\00:07:48.29
Hazon, speaking
of the entire vision.
00:07:48.30\00:07:50.53
And then, but
then when it gets down
00:07:50.54\00:07:51.98
to the very end
of Daniel chapter 8
00:07:51.99\00:07:53.61
verse, we would look
at the verse 26 and 27,
00:07:53.62\00:07:56.15
He uses a different word,
and the word used there is Mareh
00:07:56.16\00:07:59.41
And we started showing
that it is going to be a link.
00:07:59.99\00:08:01.69
Now, we're refreshing
here because excuse me,
00:08:01.70\00:08:04.36
this is going to tie
right in to where we're going to
00:08:04.37\00:08:06.31
when we go to Daniel chapter 9.
00:08:06.32\00:08:07.63
But look what he says here
00:08:07.64\00:08:08.68
in Daniel chapter 8
verse 26 and 27 once again,
00:08:08.69\00:08:11.25
"And the Mareh, of the
evenings and the mornings
00:08:11.26\00:08:13.85
which was told is true,
00:08:13.86\00:08:14.91
that word vision
there is translated
00:08:14.92\00:08:16.45
from the word Mareh.
Therefore, wherefore,
00:08:16.46\00:08:19.78
shut up the vision or the Mareh,
00:08:19.79\00:08:21.64
for it shall be
there for many days."
00:08:21.65\00:08:23.17
So the vision is
still here for many days,
00:08:23.18\00:08:24.79
"And I Daniel fainted
in was sick certain days;
00:08:25.25\00:08:27.65
afterward I rose up,
and did the king's business;
00:08:27.66\00:08:29.92
and I was
astonished at the Mareh,
00:08:29.93\00:08:31.89
but none understood it."
00:08:31.90\00:08:33.61
None understood
what part of the vision,
00:08:33.62\00:08:35.38
you know again,
it's very interesting
00:08:36.22\00:08:37.90
that when he
talks about the Mareh
00:08:37.91\00:08:39.21
the vision the
2300 days, he says,
00:08:39.22\00:08:41.01
that's the part
that was not understood.
00:08:41.02\00:08:42.52
And you know
that... that's the part
00:08:43.17\00:08:44.30
that was not understood
because all the first parts,
00:08:44.31\00:08:46.01
he explained it pretty clearly.
00:08:46.02\00:08:47.27
I mean we might not
understand all little details
00:08:47.28\00:08:49.57
and everything, a
little horn as you are going
00:08:49.58\00:08:50.84
through reading
that, but you do understand
00:08:50.85\00:08:52.54
that Daniel likely understood
it was another kingdom
00:08:52.55\00:08:54.47
that was
persecuting God's people.
00:08:54.48\00:08:55.51
There was an
understanding there,
00:08:55.52\00:08:56.72
there was, it wasn't
like, I wonder what in the world
00:08:56.73\00:08:58.37
this is even talking about?
00:08:58.38\00:08:59.39
And so...and so God
actually explains in verse 20,
00:09:00.13\00:09:02.28
that that ram was
the Medo-Persians,
00:09:02.29\00:09:03.68
and in verse 21 that
the rough goat was Greece.
00:09:03.69\00:09:06.76
And then after that he explains
that about his other kingdoms,
00:09:06.77\00:09:09.07
this little horn,
after these four divide up.
00:09:09.08\00:09:11.22
This little horn rises up,
00:09:11.23\00:09:12.20
and he's
persecuting God's people.
00:09:12.21\00:09:13.51
Just like Daniel 7, so
it's likely that Daniel
00:09:13.52\00:09:16.30
understood that, right?
00:09:16.31\00:09:18.32
It's likely he
understood all that.
00:09:18.33\00:09:19.57
But then he gets down
to the last part once again
00:09:19.58\00:09:21.75
in verse 26 and 27. And
he uses a different word
00:09:21.76\00:09:24.44
for vision there than
he did on the rest of it.
00:09:24.45\00:09:26.40
And when he uses
that word for vision,
00:09:26.41\00:09:28.04
he says, I
didn't understand this,
00:09:28.05\00:09:29.49
and neither did anybody else.
00:09:29.50\00:09:30.53
So that's the last
time as we leave off
00:09:31.06\00:09:33.14
in Daniel chapter
8 at the end of it,
00:09:33.15\00:09:34.99
it's the last
point you find Daniel
00:09:35.00\00:09:36.56
not understanding something.
00:09:36.57\00:09:37.71
Because if you go to
Daniel chapter 9 now,
00:09:37.72\00:09:39.62
we're going to go
to Daniel chapter 9
00:09:39.63\00:09:41.08
and I am going to do something
a little bit different here.
00:09:41.09\00:09:42.86
You look up, you
look on the slide,
00:09:42.87\00:09:44.04
and when you give the study
00:09:44.05\00:09:45.12
in Daniel
chapter 9 verse 20 to 24
00:09:45.13\00:09:47.83
where you go to and study,
00:09:47.84\00:09:48.86
just generally you
just jump right into it.
00:09:48.87\00:09:50.62
But since we're
teaching a class here,
00:09:50.63\00:09:52.33
and we're spending a little more
time on some of the details,
00:09:52.34\00:09:55.19
I want to help you to
understand what happened
00:09:55.20\00:09:58.02
in the prayer.
Because it's very interesting,
00:09:58.03\00:10:00.11
Daniel begins, Daniel 9,
and he says this, verse 1,
00:10:00.12\00:10:04.93
"In the first year of
Darius, the son of Ahasuerus,
00:10:05.40\00:10:07.58
the seed of the
Medes, which was made King
00:10:07.59\00:10:10.30
over the realm of the Chaldeans;
00:10:10.31\00:10:11.47
In the first year of his reign
I Daniel did not understand,
00:10:11.48\00:10:14.51
is that what it says?
00:10:14.52\00:10:15.49
Verse 2 what it
says? I Daniel understood,
00:10:15.81\00:10:19.40
so he says, so he's not asking
for an understanding here,
00:10:19.41\00:10:21.74
is he? He says, I understood
00:10:21.75\00:10:23.33
by books the number of
the years whereof the word
00:10:23.34\00:10:25.99
of the LORD came to
Jeremiah the prophet,
00:10:26.00\00:10:27.66
that he would
accomplish 70 years
00:10:27.67\00:10:29.81
in desolation of Jerusalem."
00:10:29.82\00:10:30.99
Now, as I've read about this,
00:10:31.00\00:10:32.76
I've thought a few
things that you can just kind
00:10:32.77\00:10:35.36
of follow along
here a little bit.
00:10:35.37\00:10:36.61
Daniel sees this
vision, in Daniel chapter 8,
00:10:37.03\00:10:39.81
he sees this vision
and he understands that,
00:10:39.82\00:10:41.93
that it says in 2300
more, unless he says,
00:10:41.94\00:10:44.76
it literal days,
that's like six and half years
00:10:44.77\00:10:46.50
or something like that.
00:10:46.51\00:10:47.48
Then the
sanctuary will be cleansed,
00:10:47.49\00:10:49.05
but he's reading
Jeremiah, the prophet.
00:10:49.06\00:10:50.83
And Jeremiah says that
at the end of 70 years ago
00:10:50.84\00:10:53.67
and he delivered. Well,
Daniel looks and it's like,
00:10:53.68\00:10:56.11
the 70 years is almost up.
00:10:56.12\00:10:57.48
What's this 2300
more year thing gonna be?
00:10:58.84\00:11:01.04
What this all about?
You mean, I got to wait
00:11:01.05\00:11:02.37
that much longer before
the sanctuary is restored
00:11:02.38\00:11:04.56
and cleansed here,
right? Because Daniel is looking
00:11:04.57\00:11:07.07
to the earthly sanctuary.
He is like, I got to wait
00:11:07.08\00:11:09.88
all this time before
everything works out.
00:11:09.89\00:11:12.05
And you can imagine,
he's stressful right?
00:11:12.44\00:11:14.04
So, he begins this
prayer, under stress he begins
00:11:14.05\00:11:16.55
a prayer he says, Lord, he turns
00:11:16.56\00:11:18.12
to the only
thing he has for help,
00:11:18.13\00:11:19.49
and he starts
confessing his sins.
00:11:19.50\00:11:21.25
He says, "I set my
face to the Lord to look
00:11:21.26\00:11:23.72
and seek in
prayer and supplications
00:11:23.73\00:11:25.50
and fasting in
sackcloth, and ashes."
00:11:25.51\00:11:27.10
That's a good way to pray.
00:11:27.11\00:11:28.08
Right, fasting, and
you know with sackcloth,
00:11:29.82\00:11:32.91
and ashes, that what
they put dead people in,
00:11:32.92\00:11:34.31
dead people
wrapped in sackcloth,
00:11:34.32\00:11:35.64
and the ashes
that's what you turn back
00:11:35.65\00:11:37.16
to ashes right when you're dead.
00:11:37.17\00:11:38.20
Basically, he's thinking himself
00:11:38.21\00:11:39.36
as the dead person before God.
00:11:39.37\00:11:40.50
He is so humbles so...
so humiliating himself,
00:11:40.51\00:11:43.06
you know, what he
say, I'm nothing, Lord.
00:11:43.07\00:11:44.19
But I want to
answer to prayer here,
00:11:44.20\00:11:46.10
fasting dead
people don't eat, right?
00:11:46.11\00:11:48.45
So it's just
simply just like admitting
00:11:48.46\00:11:50.37
that he's a nobody,
he's nothing and that he...
00:11:50.38\00:11:53.64
that he cannot depend
on himself for anything
00:11:53.65\00:11:56.06
that he's gonna do, he's
going to be depending on...
00:11:56.07\00:11:57.74
depending upon God, that's
his confession here, right?
00:11:57.75\00:11:59.59
And then he goes through
these little confession thing,
00:11:59.60\00:12:01.60
and again I normally
don't do this in this study
00:12:01.61\00:12:04.19
when I give the study.
00:12:04.20\00:12:05.17
But for the sake
of us right here,
00:12:05.69\00:12:07.16
I want you to understand
where Daniel is coming from?
00:12:07.17\00:12:08.86
As we go into the explanation,
you know, he was struggling
00:12:08.87\00:12:12.11
with something
here, he didn't understand
00:12:12.12\00:12:13.48
how could be 2300
more years or 2300 days
00:12:13.49\00:12:15.87
before the
sanctuary is cleansed,
00:12:15.88\00:12:16.95
when it should be
time to cleanse it now.
00:12:17.42\00:12:18.86
So there's a struggle going on.
00:12:19.40\00:12:21.18
"And I prayed
unto the LORD my God,
00:12:22.35\00:12:24.12
and made my
confession, and said, O Lord,
00:12:24.13\00:12:26.81
the great and dreadful
God, keeping the covenant
00:12:26.82\00:12:29.36
and mercy to them that love him,
00:12:29.37\00:12:31.24
and to them that
keep his commandments."
00:12:31.25\00:12:32.22
Now, I'm going to go
just out of Bible study
00:12:32.23\00:12:34.37
and then I'm going to
do little preaching, okay.
00:12:34.38\00:12:35.78
It says, that God
keeps the covenant with who?
00:12:36.88\00:12:39.54
Those who love Him and do
what? Keep His commandments,
00:12:41.83\00:12:44.58
isn't that interesting?
Daniel himself says,
00:12:44.59\00:12:46.77
hey, you know God
keeps his covenant
00:12:46.78\00:12:48.06
with those who love Him
and keep His commandments.
00:12:48.07\00:12:49.44
So therefore, if
those don't love,
00:12:49.45\00:12:51.21
the people don't love Him,
and don't keep His commandments,
00:12:51.22\00:12:53.02
does God keeps His
covenant with them?
00:12:53.03\00:12:54.57
No, no, it's the point, so
God's covenant is made with who?
00:12:55.75\00:12:58.10
Those who love Him
and keep His commandments,
00:12:58.54\00:12:59.88
He keeps it with
them. We have sinned,
00:12:59.89\00:13:01.93
he says, you know, I
have heard it said many times
00:13:01.94\00:13:04.30
you know that, you never see
anything recorded for Daniel,
00:13:04.31\00:13:07.26
ever done anything wrong?
00:13:07.27\00:13:08.31
There are just a
few people in the Bible,
00:13:08.32\00:13:09.76
you find that
about and Daniel being
00:13:09.77\00:13:10.91
is one of those like he
never, not that he ever sinned,
00:13:10.92\00:13:13.54
we know that all
sinned and fallen
00:13:13.55\00:13:14.62
short of the glory of God,
except Jesus Christ, right?
00:13:14.63\00:13:16.77
But you never
find anything recorded
00:13:17.20\00:13:18.51
that Daniel done anything wrong.
00:13:18.52\00:13:19.49
Right here, Daniel
is confessing his sins.
00:13:19.50\00:13:21.23
And look what he says, he says,
00:13:22.47\00:13:24.30
"We have sinned,
we committed iniquity,
00:13:24.31\00:13:25.78
he's putting
himself right with him,
00:13:25.79\00:13:27.01
we've done
wickedly, we've rebelled,
00:13:27.02\00:13:28.99
in departing from your
precepts and your judgments."
00:13:29.00\00:13:31.11
Look what he says in verse 6,
00:13:31.12\00:13:32.47
"Neither have we listened
unto your servants the prophets,
00:13:32.48\00:13:35.44
which spoke in thy name
to our kings, our princes,
00:13:37.89\00:13:40.84
our fathers, and to all
the people of the land."
00:13:40.85\00:13:42.56
Now I wanna ask
you something here.
00:13:42.57\00:13:43.87
What prophet was a
contemporary of Daniel
00:13:45.08\00:13:47.57
while Daniel was in
Jerusalem doing his preaching,
00:13:47.58\00:13:49.94
or when Daniel
in Jerusalem right
00:13:49.95\00:13:51.43
before they got taken captive
and moved away to Babylon,
00:13:51.44\00:13:55.21
right before that
happened, there was a prophet,
00:13:55.22\00:13:56.84
he's in the
Bible, and he was saying,
00:13:56.85\00:13:58.67
that all the stuff
was going to happen,
00:13:58.68\00:13:59.84
but nobody was
believing him, who was that?
00:13:59.85\00:14:01.69
He was Jeremiah, exactly right,
00:14:02.13\00:14:03.56
and you know what something
interesting about Jeremiah
00:14:03.57\00:14:05.29
when you read
Jeremiah chapter 1.
00:14:05.30\00:14:06.48
Jeremiah was just a
young kid, he was young guy,
00:14:06.49\00:14:09.17
and he's like Lord I can't
go and speak to these people,
00:14:09.18\00:14:11.04
they are not
going to listen to me.
00:14:11.05\00:14:12.02
And Daniel would have
been one of the young people
00:14:12.51\00:14:14.36
in Babylon in that time
that likely wasn't listening
00:14:14.37\00:14:17.08
to the thing that
Jeremiah had to say.
00:14:17.09\00:14:18.37
And you can't
slam Daniel for that,
00:14:18.38\00:14:20.69
because it would've been
just about like any of us here
00:14:20.70\00:14:23.36
that you have
some guy come along.
00:14:23.37\00:14:25.03
And he's preaching a
message that's contrary
00:14:25.04\00:14:27.38
what all the leaders in
the church and the pastors
00:14:27.39\00:14:29.11
in church and things
like that are saying,
00:14:29.12\00:14:30.42
although he is sent from God,
00:14:30.43\00:14:31.78
Jeremiah was
sent from God, right?
00:14:31.79\00:14:33.23
But they were all
rejecting him and probably
00:14:33.24\00:14:34.89
all the young people
in town said, you know,
00:14:34.90\00:14:36.42
Jeremiah can't be
right, let me look at him,
00:14:37.01\00:14:39.25
he hasn't been through, he
hasn't been through seminary,
00:14:39.26\00:14:41.45
he hasn't done
anything, he's just a young guy.
00:14:41.46\00:14:42.85
And then all the professors
of theology over here,
00:14:42.86\00:14:45.23
they are saying he's wrong
that God's gonna protect us
00:14:45.24\00:14:47.30
and we're gonna be kept safe.
00:14:47.31\00:14:48.28
You understand what
maybe went on Daniel's heart,
00:14:48.29\00:14:50.09
and the other people around?
But who ended up being right?
00:14:50.10\00:14:52.53
Jeremiah, and so
Daniel then he thinks,
00:14:53.15\00:14:54.94
can you imagine,
he's like the old man now
00:14:54.95\00:14:56.67
he's thinking
back? You know Jeremiah,
00:14:56.68\00:14:58.32
was saying that
this would happen,
00:14:58.33\00:14:59.62
but seems like in his
book he wrote something about
00:14:59.63\00:15:01.61
the time we would be in bondage.
00:15:01.62\00:15:02.79
So, he's studying
the book of Jeremiah
00:15:03.59\00:15:05.79
the prophet he
says, and lo and behold,
00:15:05.80\00:15:07.95
he realizes that
Jeremiah was right.
00:15:07.96\00:15:09.80
All the things
that he said was right.
00:15:11.11\00:15:12.63
And also God is
getting ready to deliver us
00:15:12.64\00:15:14.79
because we are at
the end of 70 years.
00:15:14.80\00:15:16.40
And so he starts
praying, God, forgive me,
00:15:16.41\00:15:19.78
I never listened to
the prophets before,
00:15:19.79\00:15:21.02
can you imagine?
It...it's hard to be humble
00:15:21.03\00:15:24.20
yourself and admit that
maybe the prophets were right
00:15:24.21\00:15:27.76
and I was wrong,
isn't it? If you reject it,
00:15:27.77\00:15:30.32
it's hard to turn
back around and say,
00:15:30.33\00:15:31.46
you know I was
actually the one who was wrong,
00:15:31.47\00:15:33.03
man of God there,
right? And so Daniel begins to
00:15:33.04\00:15:35.55
and keeps going
through his prayer.
00:15:35.56\00:15:36.84
Now we're going to get into the,
00:15:36.85\00:15:37.82
back to the
study portion of this.
00:15:37.83\00:15:39.18
That was just a little extra,
00:15:39.19\00:15:40.28
and we don't
charge extra for that.
00:15:40.29\00:15:41.65
You know, and we're going to
get into the study portion now,
00:15:42.37\00:15:45.40
we're going to Daniel
Chapter 9 and verse 20.
00:15:45.41\00:15:47.89
Daniel 9 and verse 20,
00:15:47.90\00:15:49.33
this is like the
end of the thought,
00:15:49.34\00:15:50.39
the end of the prayer.
00:15:50.40\00:15:51.37
You can read
through this prayer,
00:15:52.68\00:15:53.65
it takes about, I mean, if
you read at the normal pace,
00:15:53.66\00:15:56.02
and you don't go really fast,
probably just couple of minutes
00:15:56.03\00:15:57.87
to read through this prayer.
00:15:57.88\00:15:58.85
And just keep that in
mind as we go through this
00:15:58.86\00:16:00.41
as I think it's
very interesting.
00:16:00.42\00:16:01.74
"While I was yes,
speaking, and praying,
00:16:01.75\00:16:03.67
and confessing my sins,
and the sin of the people,
00:16:03.68\00:16:07.48
Israel, and presenting my
supplication before the LORD
00:16:07.49\00:16:11.84
my God for the
holy mountain of my God;
00:16:12.34\00:16:14.89
While I was yet
speaking in prayer,
00:16:15.32\00:16:16.82
even the man Gabriel,
whom I had seen in the vision.
00:16:16.83\00:16:21.59
Now...now just...
just what word you suppose
00:16:21.60\00:16:23.96
he's used there when he uses it?
00:16:23.97\00:16:25.15
Hazon, yeah, right
because he's talking
00:16:25.33\00:16:26.79
about the whole entire vision,
I saw him in the entire vision,
00:16:26.80\00:16:29.86
all the way back
to the beginning,
00:16:29.87\00:16:30.84
the man that I saw when I saw
that big vision hazon, right.
00:16:30.85\00:16:33.29
The man I saw on the
vision at the beginning,
00:16:33.30\00:16:35.45
being caused to fly swiftly,
touched me about the time
00:16:36.26\00:16:39.29
of the evening
oblation." The evening offering,
00:16:39.30\00:16:41.91
that's what the
oblation, the evening offering,
00:16:41.92\00:16:43.76
you know they
have.... they would spend Jews
00:16:43.77\00:16:46.84
especially those who worship
and he should be doing now,
00:16:46.85\00:16:49.21
you know
morning, and in afternoon
00:16:49.22\00:16:51.49
and the evening they
would be worshiping God,
00:16:51.50\00:16:52.80
special times
they would spend there.
00:16:52.81\00:16:54.25
And so this is the
time of the evening.
00:16:54.26\00:16:55.68
"And he informed
me, and talked with me,
00:16:56.33\00:16:58.82
and said, O
Daniel, I've not come forth
00:16:58.83\00:17:01.66
to give you skill
and understanding."
00:17:01.67\00:17:03.90
Let me ask you,
when is the last time
00:17:04.29\00:17:06.24
that Daniel needed any
skill of understanding?
00:17:06.25\00:17:08.17
When was it? Back in
Daniel chapter...chapter 8,
00:17:10.21\00:17:14.29
the last two verses 26 and 27,
26 and 27, the last two verses.
00:17:14.30\00:17:18.64
And when you get
to verse 27 he says,
00:17:18.65\00:17:20.41
"No one understood the Mareh,
00:17:20.42\00:17:23.04
the vision, and
no one understood it,
00:17:23.05\00:17:25.21
and so therefore he
fainted, he was sick
00:17:25.22\00:17:27.68
and that was the
end of it, right?
00:17:27.69\00:17:28.89
He didn't
understanding any of that.
00:17:28.90\00:17:30.12
But then you get
to Daniel chapter 9,
00:17:30.13\00:17:31.79
just one chapter later,
Daniel can still hear you,
00:17:31.80\00:17:35.11
I've no place for his
asking for any understanding
00:17:35.12\00:17:37.50
in Daniel chapter 9. He
never comes to Daniel Chapter 9,
00:17:37.51\00:17:39.89
and says, Lord please
give me understanding of this
00:17:39.90\00:17:41.82
or give me
understanding of that.
00:17:41.83\00:17:42.83
He as a matter of fact
says, hey, I understood
00:17:42.84\00:17:45.10
that Jeremiah said
we be here 70 years,
00:17:45.86\00:17:47.61
it wasn't a need
for understanding,
00:17:47.62\00:17:49.44
it was that he did understand
what the Bible is saying.
00:17:49.45\00:17:51.80
The last time we find him
not understanding something
00:17:51.81\00:17:54.45
is at the end of the
vision of Daniel chapter 8.
00:17:54.46\00:17:57.73
And so Gabriel
comes here and he says,
00:17:57.74\00:17:59.74
it's the same
Gabriel, the same man
00:17:59.75\00:18:01.62
that I saw on the
Hazon, the entire vision.
00:18:01.63\00:18:04.11
Now when was the last
time that he had a vision?
00:18:04.12\00:18:05.62
In Daniel chapter 8, and
the word uses Hazon there,
00:18:06.85\00:18:09.56
so basically the
last I had a vision
00:18:09.57\00:18:11.85
that man Gabriel
was there, and now,
00:18:11.86\00:18:13.48
he's the same one back now,
00:18:13.49\00:18:14.54
and he's gonna
give me understanding.
00:18:14.55\00:18:16.13
And look what he
gives an understanding off.
00:18:16.14\00:18:17.59
Verse 23, at the
beginning of your supplications,
00:18:17.99\00:18:20.97
did you pick that up?
00:18:20.98\00:18:21.95
I am sorry, at the
beginning of your prayer Daniel
00:18:21.96\00:18:25.64
and at the
beginning of your supplication
00:18:26.07\00:18:27.33
at that time the
commandment came forth,
00:18:28.03\00:18:30.36
and I am come to show you;
for you are greatly beloved:
00:18:30.37\00:18:33.03
therefore understand the
matter, and consider the vision.
00:18:33.04\00:18:35.09
So Daniel soon as
he started praying,
00:18:35.10\00:18:36.33
God says, okay, Gabriel,
go give him understanding.
00:18:36.34\00:18:38.57
So...so, Gabriel standing
there before Jesus Christ,
00:18:39.06\00:18:41.93
he's standing
there in heaven, right?
00:18:41.94\00:18:43.33
And God says, okay, go
give Daniel understanding,
00:18:43.34\00:18:45.71
and Daniel travels from...
from where God's presence is,
00:18:45.72\00:18:48.87
to where Daniel is.
00:18:49.56\00:18:51.00
In a matter of
just a few minutes,
00:18:51.44\00:18:52.87
how long that prayer was,
00:18:52.88\00:18:54.06
interrupting in the
middle of his prayer,
00:18:54.07\00:18:55.21
that's moving fast, isn't it?
00:18:55.22\00:18:56.62
That's like the
speed of thought,
00:18:57.37\00:18:58.68
and so I don't
know how God does that,
00:18:59.42\00:19:01.56
I can't wait to find
out, you know, I can't wait
00:19:01.57\00:19:03.42
to maybe be able
to do that myself,
00:19:03.43\00:19:04.62
be able to
travel that fast maybe,
00:19:04.63\00:19:05.86
maybe the angels have
some kind of advantage
00:19:05.87\00:19:07.53
when we get to heaven
and where we got to hang over
00:19:07.54\00:19:09.28
on their coat on something
in order to go that fast.
00:19:09.29\00:19:10.97
I don't know how
it's going to workout?
00:19:10.98\00:19:12.32
But I just think that's
beautiful and interesting
00:19:12.33\00:19:14.06
the fact that he went
from where God was to Daniel
00:19:14.07\00:19:16.24
was in like two minutes.
00:19:16.25\00:19:17.61
And he maybe
there before that listen
00:19:17.62\00:19:19.20
to the rest of his
prayer, we don't know.
00:19:19.21\00:19:20.49
You know, maybe traveling
at the speed of thought,
00:19:21.42\00:19:23.09
beautiful, isn't it?
00:19:23.10\00:19:24.20
So he goes on, he says,
"Daniel, you are greatly beloved
00:19:24.90\00:19:28.34
therefore understand the
matter and consider the vision."
00:19:28.35\00:19:33.89
What word do you suppose is
being used there for vision?
00:19:34.37\00:19:36.68
The Mareh, and it makes a
perfect sense, doesn't it?
00:19:37.17\00:19:39.43
Because it was the Mareh,
00:19:39.44\00:19:40.57
that Daniel didn't
understand, it was Mareh,
00:19:40.58\00:19:42.67
that word there that
Daniel did not understand,
00:19:42.68\00:19:45.09
that was the part he
was having trouble with.
00:19:45.10\00:19:47.07
And so he says,
"Therefore, I want you now
00:19:47.08\00:19:49.52
to understand the
Mareh, the vision,
00:19:49.53\00:19:52.28
the part of the 2300 days.
00:19:52.84\00:19:54.26
Do you see...
so you see the tie,
00:19:54.27\00:19:56.24
they were ties two together.
00:19:56.25\00:19:57.40
Because the
reason I am bringing...
00:19:57.98\00:19:59.43
bringing that point out
because many people reject that.
00:19:59.44\00:20:01.76
He says, oh, no, no,
no, he's not talking about
00:20:02.31\00:20:03.66
the 2300 days, he's
not leading back to that.
00:20:03.67\00:20:05.46
Brothers and
sisters, it's obvious
00:20:05.92\00:20:07.65
he is leading back to that.
00:20:07.66\00:20:08.63
He's using the word, the
word used there is completely
00:20:08.64\00:20:10.87
different word than what
he was using all the rest
00:20:10.88\00:20:12.73
of time when he was
using the word term Hazon,
00:20:12.74\00:20:14.84
it was like He purposely,
God purposely had Daniel tied
00:20:14.85\00:20:17.79
those together so that
you and I standing here,
00:20:17.80\00:20:20.12
in the time we
are standing in...
00:20:20.13\00:20:21.58
in the year 2000... I
think I shouldn't date us
00:20:21.59\00:20:24.28
for the video uh.. I'll do
it anyway this is done in 2009,
00:20:24.29\00:20:26.81
Now I'll say 2010,
and then we'll think
00:20:28.19\00:20:29.80
we done it ahead of time.
00:20:29.81\00:20:30.78
Now how did they
done, done yesterday?
00:20:30.79\00:20:32.12
Anyway, but the God knew
that we would be sitting here,
00:20:32.13\00:20:36.07
at this time and
there will be all kinds
00:20:36.48\00:20:38.34
of deceptions out
there in the world,
00:20:38.35\00:20:39.53
you know that.
And things and people
00:20:39.54\00:20:41.36
trying to say,
hey, this doesn't fit,
00:20:41.37\00:20:42.84
this isn't right,
to destroying the faith
00:20:42.85\00:20:44.66
of the people who
are trusting in the Lord,
00:20:44.67\00:20:46.19
and realizing that hey,
what God has said is true.
00:20:46.20\00:20:48.68
And so he ties it
directly here with the wording,
00:20:49.06\00:20:51.40
he ties it to the 2300 days,
00:20:51.41\00:20:53.26
he says, I want to
consider the vision
00:20:53.27\00:20:55.44
and understand the matter,
00:20:55.81\00:20:57.40
and consider the
vision or the Mareh,
00:20:57.41\00:20:59.22
give you understanding of that.
00:20:59.23\00:21:00.35
Then look at verse 24,
"70 weeks are determined
00:21:00.36\00:21:04.72
upon thy people
and upon thy holy city,
00:21:04.73\00:21:07.03
to finish the transgression,
to make an end of sins,
00:21:07.04\00:21:09.41
to make
reconciliation for iniquity,
00:21:09.42\00:21:10.93
and to bring in
everlasting righteousness,
00:21:10.94\00:21:12.65
and to seal up the
vision and prophecy,
00:21:12.66\00:21:14.60
and to anoint the most Holy."
00:21:14.61\00:21:16.57
So all these things are going
to happen within this 70...
00:21:16.58\00:21:19.98
70 week time frame. But
now, I want you to notice
00:21:19.99\00:21:23.07
something here
again in verse 24.
00:21:23.08\00:21:25.03
Because there is word here,
00:21:25.04\00:21:26.65
that it is not really
well in the King James
00:21:26.66\00:21:30.21
as far as translate go,
and that's the word determined,
00:21:30.22\00:21:32.82
where it says, 70 weeks are
determined up on thy people.
00:21:32.83\00:21:35.27
Now the word that you
find there in the Hebrew,
00:21:35.71\00:21:38.44
is one, that word is Chatak,
00:21:38.45\00:21:40.72
I don't know if
I am saying right
00:21:40.73\00:21:41.71
or not but I just put up there,
00:21:41.72\00:21:42.83
and somebody can
let you know about it,
00:21:42.84\00:21:44.02
striking up,
Chatak, who said that?
00:21:44.03\00:21:46.23
somebody said that? All right,
Scot back there straight me
00:21:46.70\00:21:48.88
on that and so you don't
have to write me a letter,
00:21:48.89\00:21:50.98
if I said it right,
write Scott a letter
00:21:50.99\00:21:52.74
and if Scott said
right, you can write me one.
00:21:53.20\00:21:54.98
Okay, Chatak whatever
it is there but in mean
00:21:54.99\00:21:57.24
now here's what's interesting,
nowhere else in the Bible,
00:21:57.25\00:21:59.85
do we have that word. So
we can't go to another place
00:22:00.30\00:22:02.99
in the Bible and
say, let's compare
00:22:03.00\00:22:04.40
and see, what does
this word means, right?
00:22:04.41\00:22:05.84
You can't do it that
way, but there is something,
00:22:06.31\00:22:08.28
something about that
word that you do find
00:22:09.00\00:22:10.74
in other places in
Jewish, in Jewish writings.
00:22:10.75\00:22:12.71
The missioner or
which is like the,
00:22:13.49\00:22:14.95
it was written in a
second, third century AD,
00:22:15.50\00:22:17.48
it was a Bible commentary,
00:22:17.49\00:22:20.06
written on the
Jewish Bible commentary,
00:22:20.07\00:22:22.41
uses that same word
Chatak several times.
00:22:22.42\00:22:25.10
Right, it uses
several times in there.
00:22:25.77\00:22:27.54
And when it uses it, in
tenth, it's like 18 times,
00:22:27.55\00:22:30.31
in ten of the 18 times, it's
referring to cutting off the,
00:22:30.32\00:22:33.23
the in part of a
animal, in an animal sacrifice.
00:22:33.24\00:22:36.76
You know, it talk
about the cutting off
00:22:37.30\00:22:38.27
the leg or cutting
off, you know, cutting off
00:22:38.28\00:22:40.48
some part of the
animal sacrifice.
00:22:40.49\00:22:41.69
So when the word is used
in context in other places,
00:22:41.70\00:22:44.13
it's actually talking
about cutting something off.
00:22:44.67\00:22:46.41
And when you look at the...
00:22:47.10\00:22:48.92
if you look at maybe in some
of the concordances like the...
00:22:48.93\00:22:50.87
oh, strongs or one
of those like that,
00:22:53.14\00:22:54.98
it does also define
that as one way of saying
00:22:54.99\00:22:58.28
that word, it
means to be cut off.
00:22:58.29\00:23:00.14
Are you
following? So when he says,
00:23:00.96\00:23:03.30
70 weeks are cut
off upon thy people,
00:23:03.31\00:23:06.43
maybe one of your Bibles
has that written in translation,
00:23:07.12\00:23:09.43
does anybody have a
Bible instead of saying,
00:23:09.44\00:23:11.31
determined it says
something like cut off
00:23:11.32\00:23:12.99
in that same version
here because everybody
00:23:13.64\00:23:14.86
has a King James version
just about in here, right?
00:23:14.87\00:23:16.89
Hey, you are? Decreed, okay.
00:23:18.06\00:23:20.38
70 weeks are
decreed upon thy people.
00:23:20.39\00:23:22.01
So there are
different translations there,
00:23:22.02\00:23:24.58
and however it is. But the word
00:23:24.59\00:23:26.06
that fits best
there, the word that makes
00:23:26.07\00:23:28.42
most sense is 70
weeks are cut off,
00:23:28.43\00:23:30.29
upon thy people
and upon the Holy city.
00:23:30.30\00:23:31.93
In other words,
there's a 70 week span or 70,
00:23:31.94\00:23:35.91
or 70 weeks and you take a
day from your Bible prophecy,
00:23:35.92\00:23:38.81
how long is that?
Yes, 70 times 7 is 49 ,
00:23:38.82\00:23:42.14
or 490 rather, and so
you have got 490 years,
00:23:42.15\00:23:44.57
this decreed, or cut off,
or determined upon your people.
00:23:44.58\00:23:48.43
Right, 70 weeks are
determined upon the people,
00:23:48.91\00:23:51.29
and that's the starting
point for the 70 week prophecy,
00:23:51.30\00:23:53.90
and that's what you
find for a starting point.
00:23:53.91\00:23:55.08
So here, let's look at
this 70 weeks cut off from what?
00:23:55.09\00:23:58.31
And they are cut off from
the Mareh of the 2300 days.
00:23:58.32\00:24:02.25
Are you following that?
00:24:03.56\00:24:04.53
Now listen, the
2300 prophecy the Mareh,
00:24:04.54\00:24:07.31
when you look at
that, you have 23, 2300 days
00:24:07.32\00:24:11.22
that the Bible is talking about.
00:24:11.23\00:24:12.29
And then here it says, that...
00:24:12.30\00:24:14.32
that what kind of
prophecy is that by the way?
00:24:14.33\00:24:15.97
It's a time, what we
call time prophecy, right?
00:24:15.98\00:24:18.18
So the last thing
Daniel did not understand
00:24:18.19\00:24:20.19
was the time
prophecy and he used
00:24:20.20\00:24:21.88
the term Mareh about right?
00:24:21.89\00:24:23.16
And then you come
here in Daniel chapter 9,
00:24:23.17\00:24:25.28
and it says, 70 weeks are
determined upon your people
00:24:25.29\00:24:28.17
and speaking just after verse 23
00:24:28.18\00:24:29.93
consider the
vision or the Mareh.
00:24:29.94\00:24:31.83
He says, I want you
to consider the vision,
00:24:31.84\00:24:33.43
70 weeks are
determined upon your people.
00:24:34.11\00:24:35.70
What is a 70 week prophecy?
00:24:36.51\00:24:37.79
What would you call that?
00:24:37.80\00:24:38.77
A time prophecy, so the
last time he didn't have
00:24:39.16\00:24:41.70
the understanding speaking of...
00:24:41.71\00:24:42.93
of a vision was a 2300
day prophecy, a time prophecy.
00:24:42.94\00:24:45.81
And then he comes and
gives him an explanation
00:24:45.82\00:24:47.44
and he gives him an explanation
using a time prophecy.
00:24:47.45\00:24:50.49
And he says, this
time prophecy is cut off,
00:24:51.01\00:24:53.07
cut off from what?
00:24:53.08\00:24:54.12
It has to be cut
off from 2300 days,
00:24:55.74\00:24:57.29
what else what it
would it be cut off from?
00:24:57.30\00:24:58.37
You can't cut 2300 days
off from the little horn.
00:24:58.38\00:25:00.65
Or 70 weeks rather you can't
cut 70 weeks off the little horn
00:25:02.61\00:25:05.00
You can't cut 70 weeks off
the Medo-Persian Empire can you?
00:25:05.01\00:25:07.63
It makes no sense, does it?
00:25:07.64\00:25:08.80
But can you cut 70
weeks off from 2300 days,
00:25:08.81\00:25:13.22
yeah, absolutely you can
00:25:13.75\00:25:14.72
and it could be
cut off from that.
00:25:14.73\00:25:15.70
And so he says, this
cut off for your people,
00:25:15.71\00:25:18.14
and for the Holy city.
And now let's just keep around
00:25:18.15\00:25:20.46
and going to the
slides here, and look at this.
00:25:20.47\00:25:21.82
So, you find a 70
weeks, it goes 490 years.
00:25:21.83\00:25:24.39
In 2300 year total and
you're cutting off 490.
00:25:24.40\00:25:28.07
So apparently at the end of 490
00:25:28.08\00:25:30.20
how much time do you have left?
00:25:30.21\00:25:31.18
1810 days or
years, so you can do
00:25:31.59\00:25:35.53
in two different ways or you
can take 1810 years from 34 AD.
00:25:35.54\00:25:38.47
When you do that...
that's the end of the 70 weeks.
00:25:38.48\00:25:41.09
Or you can take
2300 years from 457 BC
00:25:41.10\00:25:45.20
and you come with the year 1844.
00:25:45.21\00:25:47.28
Now you've
already studied with Scott
00:25:47.29\00:25:48.57
that the 70 weeks begins when?
00:25:48.58\00:25:49.78
457 BC, you studied
that one when Scott done...
00:25:51.36\00:25:53.48
done the whole thing
there on Daniel 9, right.
00:25:53.49\00:25:56.67
He already
studied Daniel 9 with you,
00:25:56.68\00:25:58.14
and so, it showed
when you done Daniel 9,
00:25:58.52\00:26:02.10
you found the
457 BC, what happened
00:26:02.11\00:26:04.55
at the end of these 70 weeks?
00:26:04.56\00:26:07.22
Or actually at the end of
the 69 weeks in that time frame,
00:26:07.23\00:26:09.16
what was it that happened?
00:26:09.17\00:26:10.37
The Christ was
here right on time,
00:26:10.97\00:26:12.67
there was here, He came on time,
00:26:12.68\00:26:13.74
He's crucified on time, and
then the Gospel went to Gentiles
00:26:13.75\00:26:16.48
in 34 AD, you
remember all that happening?
00:26:16.49\00:26:18.16
Now, here just assure as
the 457 BC point to Christ,
00:26:18.17\00:26:22.68
right, that time frame has
to the beginning time frame
00:26:23.63\00:26:25.79
because it comes
and points to Christ.
00:26:25.80\00:26:27.14
This assure that is
you have to also apply it
00:26:27.15\00:26:29.68
to the coming or
the judgment scene
00:26:29.69\00:26:31.87
at the end of that time frame
00:26:31.88\00:26:32.93
or the cleansing of sanctuary
at the end of 2300 days.
00:26:32.94\00:26:35.06
In other words, if the beginning
time prophecy doesn't fit,
00:26:35.79\00:26:39.05
do we have the
2300 day time prophecy?
00:26:39.06\00:26:41.33
It also doesn't
fit for the Messiah.
00:26:41.87\00:26:43.36
Are you understanding?
Let's go on, it maybe,
00:26:45.55\00:26:47.64
it will clear up a little bit.
00:26:47.65\00:26:48.62
Here we go bring that
out, bring that up, okay.
00:26:50.53\00:26:53.36
In 457 BC, the
decree went out to restore
00:26:54.01\00:26:57.34
and build Jerusalem just
like the Bible say what happened
00:26:57.35\00:26:59.31
at the
beginning of the 70 weeks,
00:26:59.32\00:27:00.51
you remember that?
And then after 483 years
00:27:00.52\00:27:03.92
or the 69 weeks what happened?
00:27:03.93\00:27:05.49
Jesus was baptized,
this is just a review,
00:27:06.17\00:27:08.19
when we looked... Scott
already looked over this,
00:27:08.20\00:27:09.63
didn't he? You might
remember this, right?
00:27:09.64\00:27:11.60
Everybody, okay,
and then there in 31 AD
00:27:12.47\00:27:14.71
Jesus was crucified in the
midst of the week the Messiah
00:27:14.72\00:27:16.87
was cut off but not
for Himself, you know,
00:27:16.88\00:27:18.88
who is He cut off
for? For us, right.
00:27:18.89\00:27:21.03
And then in 34 AD you
find the stoning of Steven
00:27:21.04\00:27:24.04
and the Gospel
goes to the Gentiles,
00:27:24.05\00:27:25.36
and that's the
end of the 490 years.
00:27:25.37\00:27:27.47
So you got the 70
weeks prophecy ends there.
00:27:27.48\00:27:30.30
But if it's cut off
from the rest of 2300 days
00:27:30.83\00:27:33.24
then that means
you take 2300, right?
00:27:33.25\00:27:36.94
You minus the other part
of the time there you minus
00:27:36.95\00:27:40.16
the 490 years there
leads you 1810 years.
00:27:40.17\00:27:46.27
Its cut off from the 2300 days,
00:27:46.88\00:27:48.77
if you take 490
from 2300 becomes 1810.
00:27:48.78\00:27:52.14
Now, what happened
at the end of 1000,
00:27:52.63\00:27:54.82
at the year 1844 actually
1810 years later what happened?
00:27:54.83\00:27:59.55
Some very
interesting things happened.
00:28:01.19\00:28:02.57
We're going to
look at that when we do
00:28:03.15\00:28:04.33
the spirit of
prophecy study but...
00:28:04.34\00:28:05.83
but I want to...
but notice up there
00:28:05.84\00:28:06.96
that something happened in 1844
00:28:06.97\00:28:08.64
and the Bible tells
us what that would be,
00:28:08.65\00:28:09.76
what was it? The
cleansing of the sanctuary.
00:28:09.77\00:28:12.42
Now here's a question, the
cleansing of what sanctuary?
00:28:12.43\00:28:15.85
How do we know it
was a heavenly sanctuary?
00:28:17.67\00:28:18.99
Because there was no sanctuary
on earth in that time, right.
00:28:21.43\00:28:23.65
In the year 1844 there
was no sanctuary on earth,
00:28:23.66\00:28:25.85
but now even in
the day of Daniel,
00:28:25.86\00:28:27.64
you think what Daniel was doing?
00:28:27.65\00:28:28.83
When Daniel sees that 2300 years
00:28:28.84\00:28:31.35
and the sanctuary will
be cleansed in his mind,
00:28:31.36\00:28:33.48
he's thinking of what sanctuary?
00:28:33.49\00:28:34.73
The one on earth, which
one he was referring to?
00:28:35.19\00:28:37.28
The one in
heaven, can you understand
00:28:37.78\00:28:38.94
why he was distressed.
even himself had made
00:28:38.95\00:28:42.09
a mistake right
there that he was thinking
00:28:42.10\00:28:43.58
of earthly sanctuary not
the one in heaven being cleansed
00:28:43.59\00:28:46.02
And so what
actually takes place,
00:28:46.03\00:28:48.46
what is this all about cleansing
of the heavenly sanctuary
00:28:48.47\00:28:51.23
and all this kind of stuff?
00:28:51.24\00:28:52.21
And you remember as you studied
with Scott on Judgment Part 1,
00:28:52.22\00:28:56.34
when he does Judgment Part 1,
00:28:56.35\00:28:59.25
you remember that he showed
how a sanctuary worked, right.
00:28:59.74\00:29:02.39
And you had the
outside there in the courtyard
00:29:03.13\00:29:06.44
they will make the sacrifice,
they'll take the blood
00:29:06.45\00:29:08.12
and remember they
would go where into with it,
00:29:08.13\00:29:09.79
the holy place, right,
and sprinkle the blood there.
00:29:09.80\00:29:11.78
And all through the year
the sins of the people will be
00:29:11.79\00:29:14.28
piling up there in
that holy place, right?
00:29:14.29\00:29:16.04
And then one time a
year, on the day of atonement,
00:29:16.05\00:29:18.89
the high priest
that this time would go
00:29:20.26\00:29:22.71
into the most holy place,
00:29:22.72\00:29:23.69
and then the
sanctuary would be cleansed.
00:29:23.70\00:29:25.89
I just won't get into details
00:29:25.90\00:29:26.89
that the
sanctuary would be cleansed,
00:29:26.90\00:29:28.32
and everybody be
right, everything be okay
00:29:28.33\00:29:29.87
at that point, right?
00:29:29.88\00:29:31.08
And so, what's
being going on in heaven
00:29:31.61\00:29:33.49
since Christ ascended to
heaven, let's go and find out.
00:29:34.11\00:29:37.03
I think that's
our next slide here,
00:29:38.11\00:29:39.40
in Mark chapter 16 and verse 19,
00:29:39.41\00:29:41.39
and who'd like to
read Mark 16 verse 19.
00:29:41.40\00:29:43.16
Do we have any volunteers?
00:29:43.17\00:29:44.55
As we are turning there,
00:29:44.56\00:29:45.74
give everybody time
to get there. Mark 16.
00:29:45.75\00:29:49.45
You know these
studies here are a little
00:29:53.47\00:29:54.82
more laborious
than others, you know,
00:29:54.83\00:29:57.02
as far as this kind
of plowing through it.
00:29:57.03\00:29:58.75
But once you get a
understanding of this,
00:29:58.76\00:30:00.70
it helps solidify the fact that
you know what your high priest
00:30:00.88\00:30:03.23
is doing for you. You
have confidence in him.
00:30:03.24\00:30:05.29
It's not so much
of the details here,
00:30:05.30\00:30:07.36
it's not so much worrying
about the dates, you know,
00:30:07.37\00:30:09.61
all though they are important.
As it is to what's going on?
00:30:09.62\00:30:12.45
And to understand
also that we have entered
00:30:12.90\00:30:15.13
into the last days,
and how that off hits.
00:30:15.14\00:30:18.09
You remember Daniel prophecy
said this is going to apply
00:30:18.10\00:30:19.86
to the last days.
Tom, do you want to read
00:30:19.87\00:30:23.04
that for us, Mark
chapter 16 and verse 19?
00:30:23.05\00:30:26.04
I am sorry 16:19
yeah. So then after the Lord
00:30:27.46\00:30:32.01
had spoken to them, he
was received up into heaven,
00:30:32.02\00:30:35.65
and sat down at
the right hand of God.
00:30:36.11\00:30:38.09
So...so Jesus here
so that we find here,
00:30:38.72\00:30:40.88
Jesus went out and
sat, where did He go to sit
00:30:40.89\00:30:42.57
when He ascended to
heaven? The right hand of God.
00:30:42.58\00:30:44.98
Now remember when you
studied the sanctuary,
00:30:44.99\00:30:46.54
where was God's throne
symbolized in the sanctuary
00:30:46.55\00:30:50.05
do you remember?
In the holy place,
00:30:50.06\00:30:52.05
you had the table of show
bread, you had the two stags
00:30:52.53\00:30:54.82
right there right, and you
had one that's representing
00:30:54.83\00:30:58.02
God's throne there and
when you studied the sanctuary
00:30:58.03\00:31:00.72
you saw that. That
you have God's throne
00:31:00.73\00:31:03.65
represented in the holy
place, out in the holy place.
00:31:03.66\00:31:06.02
But know God's throne
is portable, it's movable?
00:31:06.40\00:31:08.78
That actually when
it does different scenes
00:31:10.16\00:31:11.82
in the Judgment scene that
He would go to different places,
00:31:11.83\00:31:14.36
so it was a symbol out there
in the holy place of Christ
00:31:14.37\00:31:17.60
and going sitting
down by his father,
00:31:17.61\00:31:19.22
the two loaves of
bread, there sitting
00:31:19.23\00:31:21.65
in the holy place out there...on
the table of show bread,
00:31:21.66\00:31:24.84
are you following me there?
Let's us go on and look as we
00:31:24.85\00:31:28.57
continue down the
Revelation chapter 1.
00:31:28.58\00:31:30.11
Revelation chapter 1,
now, as you go to the book
00:31:30.12\00:31:32.79
of Revelation,
you'll notice some things.
00:31:32.80\00:31:33.96
As you go to Revelation,
it progresses through
00:31:34.24\00:31:37.11
the sanctuary. All the
book of Revelation does,
00:31:37.12\00:31:39.99
it progresses as Christ
going through the sanctuary.
00:31:40.00\00:31:42.97
Now according to what we
just read, where did Christ go
00:31:42.98\00:31:45.60
when He ascended?
To sit at right hand
00:31:45.61\00:31:47.35
of the Father, where is
He in Revelation Chapter 1,
00:31:47.36\00:31:49.72
is He in the most holy
place? Or the holy place?
00:31:49.73\00:31:51.63
Revelation chapter 1
verse 12 and 13, Shalida,
00:31:52.05\00:31:54.98
do you want to read that
for us? Revelation Chapter 1
00:31:54.99\00:31:58.57
verse 12 and 13, we
gonna find out, is Christ,
00:31:58.58\00:32:01.23
when He ascended that He
go to the most holy place
00:32:01.24\00:32:03.14
or the holy place according
to the book of Revelation.
00:32:03.45\00:32:05.56
Go ahead and read that for us.
00:32:05.57\00:32:06.59
"And I turned to see the
voice that spake with me.
00:32:07.08\00:32:09.51
And being turned, I saw
seven golden candlesticks;
00:32:09.98\00:32:13.11
And in the midst of the
seven candlesticks one like unto
00:32:13.12\00:32:17.20
the Son of man, clothe
with a garment down to the foot,
00:32:17.21\00:32:21.00
and girt about the
paps with a golden girdle."
00:32:21.01\00:32:25.04
Okay where's he
showing Jesus being?
00:32:26.03\00:32:27.53
Where the candlestick
and the all the stuff are?
00:32:28.85\00:32:30.34
It's in the holy place,
right, so Revelation opens
00:32:30.86\00:32:32.89
up with Jesus still in
the holy place, and He's doing
00:32:32.90\00:32:35.63
His work there
in the holy place.
00:32:35.64\00:32:36.77
Now what does the
high priest do each day
00:32:36.78\00:32:38.39
in a holy place?
What would he be doing?
00:32:38.40\00:32:40.60
The blood would be brought
in, and here the people sins
00:32:42.15\00:32:45.41
would be
transferred to the sanctuary
00:32:45.42\00:32:46.62
from the people to
the sacrificed animals
00:32:46.63\00:32:48.84
the blood going into the
holy place, right, daily.
00:32:48.85\00:32:50.96
This would be going on
everyday and that's what
00:32:50.97\00:32:52.58
the high priest would be
doing. And we see Jesus here in
00:32:52.59\00:32:54.51
Revelation chapter
1, doing just that.
00:32:54.52\00:32:56.49
He's in the holy
place, he's doing the job
00:32:57.06\00:32:59.37
of the priest. But
now we're gonna see
00:32:59.38\00:33:01.40
as we go the book of
Daniel, we're gonna back
00:33:01.41\00:33:03.46
to the book of Daniel
chapter 7 when we look at
00:33:03.47\00:33:05.53
a little earlier,
chapter 7 verse 9 to 14,
00:33:05.54\00:33:07.48
and we're gonna see in
progress from the holy place
00:33:07.81\00:33:10.32
to the most holy place.
We're gonna see the progress
00:33:11.26\00:33:15.11
from the holy place
unto the most holy place.
00:33:15.12\00:33:17.71
And that's found
in Daniel chapter 7,
00:33:17.72\00:33:19.50
starting in verse 9 to
14, let me get there myself.
00:33:19.94\00:33:22.60
Ezekiel, Daniel,
please be patient with me,
00:33:25.15\00:33:29.11
Daniel chapter 7 verse 9 to 14.
00:33:31.24\00:33:33.79
And we'll probably
get Darlene to read that,
00:33:34.29\00:33:38.14
will that be all
right Darlene? All right,
00:33:38.15\00:33:39.74
Daniel chapter 7
and verse 9 to 14.
00:33:40.17\00:33:43.79
"I watched till
thrones were put in place,
00:33:44.95\00:33:47.31
and the Ancient
of days was seated,
00:33:47.32\00:33:49.63
his garment was white as
snow, and the hair of his head
00:33:50.07\00:33:53.06
was like pure wool: his
throne was a fiery flame,
00:33:53.07\00:33:56.61
its wheels are burning
fire. A fiery stream issued
00:33:58.43\00:34:02.08
and came forth from
before him: a thousand thousands
00:34:02.09\00:34:05.93
ministered to Him,
and ten thousand times
00:34:05.94\00:34:09.23
ten thousand stood before
him: the court was seated,
00:34:09.24\00:34:11.93
and the books were
opened. I watched then because
00:34:11.94\00:34:15.31
of the sound of
the pompous words
00:34:15.32\00:34:17.69
which the horn was speaking:
I watched till the beast
00:34:17.70\00:34:20.50
was slain, and
its body destroyed,
00:34:20.51\00:34:22.95
and given to the burning flame.
As for the rest of the beasts,
00:34:22.96\00:34:28.73
they had their
dominion taken away:
00:34:28.76\00:34:31.12
yet their lives were
prolonged for a season and time.
00:34:31.52\00:34:34.66
I was watching in the
night visions, and, behold,
00:34:35.62\00:34:39.55
one like the Son of man coming
with the clouds of heaven,
00:34:39.56\00:34:44.15
and He came to the Ancient
of days, and they brought Him
00:34:44.16\00:34:46.75
near before him. Then
to him was given dominion,
00:34:46.76\00:34:50.90
and glory, and a kingdom,
that all peoples, nations,
00:34:50.91\00:34:54.29
and languages, should serve him.
00:34:54.30\00:34:56.24
His dominion is an
everlasting dominion,
00:34:56.69\00:34:59.36
which shall not pass
away, and his kingdom
00:34:59.37\00:35:02.19
the one which
shall not be destroyed."
00:35:02.20\00:35:05.18
Okay, can you see there in
the texts when he starts off
00:35:05.19\00:35:07.75
in Daniel chapter 9, and it
says, that I'll be held with
00:35:07.76\00:35:10.35
thrones were set in
place, they were set up,
00:35:10.36\00:35:12.04
and the ancient of
days took his seat,
00:35:12.05\00:35:13.52
it's the beginning and
then he goes on talking about
00:35:13.53\00:35:15.67
this beginning of the
Judgment scene taking place,
00:35:15.68\00:35:17.26
you understand that
right? Now, where....where
00:35:17.27\00:35:19.73
would this whenever this
judgment would take place?
00:35:19.74\00:35:21.43
It would be in
heaven but specifically now,
00:35:22.35\00:35:24.83
we're going into
the most holy place.
00:35:24.84\00:35:26.48
The whole thing has moved
because on the day of atonement
00:35:27.88\00:35:30.32
as you learned the
Bible teaches, you know,
00:35:30.33\00:35:32.60
the thy Lord is found
in this sanctuary, right,
00:35:32.61\00:35:34.74
in the book of Psalms,
right? And you learned that
00:35:34.75\00:35:36.95
they day of atonement,
or the day of judgment,
00:35:36.96\00:35:38.74
the word
atonement is the same thing,
00:35:38.75\00:35:40.11
you know like the day of
the judgment would take place,
00:35:40.12\00:35:42.15
where at? In
the most holy place,
00:35:42.16\00:35:44.41
so you find God here
in the sanctuary in heaven
00:35:44.42\00:35:46.18
and you notice here
that it says, it says,
00:35:46.19\00:35:47.99
let me get down to
it. Oh, yeah, verse 9,
00:35:49.21\00:35:51.55
and where it talks about
toward the later part of that,
00:35:52.21\00:35:54.36
it says, his hair was
like pure wool, His throne
00:35:54.37\00:35:56.32
was like a fiery flame
and wheels as burning fire.
00:35:56.33\00:35:59.76
God's throne has what?
Wheels. So, if you have wheels,
00:36:00.24\00:36:03.29
what that make
you? Portable, movable,
00:36:03.30\00:36:05.49
right it moves, so
it moves, it moves now,
00:36:05.50\00:36:07.07
the whole thing, the
whole proceeding here moves
00:36:07.08\00:36:09.14
now from the
holy place to where?
00:36:09.15\00:36:10.43
The most holy place because
what begins the judgment.
00:36:10.44\00:36:13.66
And according what we
look that out in Daniel 7
00:36:13.67\00:36:15.88
when does this judgment begin
and just looking at Daniel 7
00:36:15.89\00:36:18.22
sometime after 1798.
And so he's looking here
00:36:18.23\00:36:22.62
and he sees this whole thing,
this whole process of things
00:36:22.63\00:36:24.89
taking place. Now
I want to understand
00:36:24.90\00:36:26.40
something.
Because, it's pretty common
00:36:26.41\00:36:29.54
knowledge that in the year
1844 that many people thought
00:36:29.55\00:36:33.16
that Jesus was
going to come back,
00:36:33.17\00:36:34.40
and the whole cleansing of
the sanctuary with God cleansing
00:36:34.41\00:36:37.76
the earth with fire,
you know that's the common
00:36:37.77\00:36:39.26
teaching out there.
William Miller, he would read
00:36:39.27\00:36:41.08
this and others him
being the Baptist minister,
00:36:41.09\00:36:43.83
and the other
who is reading this,
00:36:43.84\00:36:45.11
they would read
these stories in the Bible
00:36:45.12\00:36:46.61
or actually these
prophecies in the Bible.
00:36:46.62\00:36:48.61
And he takes a look
at this and he says,
00:36:48.62\00:36:49.95
huh, so you have
the little mouth,
00:36:49.96\00:36:52.66
the little horn speaking
great things and the throne,
00:36:52.67\00:36:55.40
the judgment, and Jesus
comes, and that's the whole
00:36:55.41\00:36:58.14
thing about....about what's
going on there because you,
00:36:58.15\00:36:59.88
that's why I let you
read down verse 13 and 14,
00:36:59.89\00:37:02.05
he says, hey Jesus is
coming. When He comes,
00:37:02.06\00:37:04.53
Jesus is going to come,
whenever, all that takes place.
00:37:04.54\00:37:06.76
But what he did not understand,
what he didn't understand
00:37:06.77\00:37:09.64
was the sanctuary
that he was talking about,
00:37:09.65\00:37:11.08
wasn't the earth.
You don't find anything
00:37:11.09\00:37:13.20
in the Bible referring to the
earth as the sanctuary, right?
00:37:13.21\00:37:15.43
You find, where God's
people refer to the sanctuary.
00:37:15.94\00:37:18.37
What you not know that
you are the temple of God?
00:37:18.38\00:37:20.42
The Bible teaches
that. So he thought that this
00:37:20.88\00:37:23.21
was the whole process of
Jesus coming and cleansing
00:37:23.22\00:37:25.61
the earth with fire.
And many others did too,
00:37:25.62\00:37:27.64
and they portrayed
Jesus is gonna come in 1844.
00:37:27.65\00:37:29.74
They had the time frame
right as we've already seen.
00:37:30.21\00:37:32.18
1844 fits perfectly with
everything else doesn't it?
00:37:32.70\00:37:35.44
But they had the event wrong.
Jesus begins the judgment scene
00:37:35.98\00:37:40.77
in 1844. Now
here's the question,
00:37:40.78\00:37:43.19
how long should it take
God to cleanse the sanctuary?
00:37:44.35\00:37:48.43
I mean how quickly can He do it?
00:37:50.07\00:37:51.33
He calls worlds
into existence, right?
00:37:51.34\00:37:53.76
So He begins the
Judgment scene with the dead
00:37:54.29\00:37:56.52
and He moves on into the living,
00:37:56.53\00:37:57.68
this whole
judgment scene takes place,
00:37:57.69\00:37:58.84
but couldn't God just
do the judgment like that
00:37:58.85\00:38:00.59
and be done? So
what's taking Him so long?
00:38:00.60\00:38:03.54
He should be able
finish, shouldn't He, Robert?
00:38:08.49\00:38:10.48
He should be able to
say, okay, guilty, innocent,
00:38:11.35\00:38:14.49
guilty, innocent,
innocent, innocent,
00:38:14.50\00:38:15.91
innocent, innocent, innocent,
00:38:15.92\00:38:16.90
we're all
innocent in here right?
00:38:17.09\00:38:18.20
And we all gonna be in
heaven, right nobody's guilty;
00:38:18.24\00:38:20.14
we are all going to
be in heaven, is it?
00:38:20.18\00:38:21.24
Shouldn't He able to
do that...that quick?
00:38:21.28\00:38:22.25
But now remember, as
we go through our lives,
00:38:23.06\00:38:26.10
is everybody here
sinless? So what you doing
00:38:26.11\00:38:28.35
when you...each day,
each moment you know,
00:38:28.36\00:38:30.96
you are confessing,
right. What happens to that sin
00:38:30.97\00:38:32.81
when you confess
it? Where does it go,
00:38:32.82\00:38:35.64
does it go away and nothing,
you know when sin takes place,
00:38:35.65\00:38:39.16
it's like something,
something tangible happens.
00:38:39.17\00:38:41.29
You know, there
is something there,
00:38:41.30\00:38:43.47
it has to be got rid
of, that's why you have
00:38:43.48\00:38:44.84
to have the shedding of
blood to get rid of something
00:38:45.04\00:38:46.27
that's intangible. You
know, sin is not really
00:38:46.28\00:38:48.11
something, you
can't see like look,
00:38:48.12\00:38:49.96
I got this jar sin
here. Now we have to,
00:38:49.97\00:38:51.66
we have to blood
sacrifice to get rid of it.
00:38:52.16\00:38:54.45
Doesn't work like that, does it?
00:38:54.46\00:38:55.64
But it is like
something tangible takes place
00:38:55.65\00:38:57.49
so when you confess your
sins, it has to go somewhere,
00:38:57.50\00:39:00.14
so where are they
going? To the holy place right,
00:39:00.68\00:39:04.32
they are going
to the holy place.
00:39:04.33\00:39:05.30
Right now, Jesus says,
our high priest is doing
00:39:05.31\00:39:07.27
his work.
Now...but then after 1844
00:39:07.28\00:39:10.11
where does He move to?
In the most holy place.
00:39:10.12\00:39:12.66
And so the sin is still
piling up, during this time
00:39:12.67\00:39:15.48
while He is in
there. You know during
00:39:15.49\00:39:17.33
the Day of
Atonement what were the people
00:39:17.34\00:39:18.79
had to be doing on
the Day of Atonement?
00:39:18.80\00:39:19.84
They are afflicting themselves,
you know they would humbling
00:39:21.23\00:39:23.04
themselves, praying
and afflicting themselves.
00:39:23.05\00:39:24.17
And by the way, if
they weren't doing that,
00:39:24.18\00:39:25.51
in the Old
Testament, Day of Atonement.
00:39:25.52\00:39:27.53
When the high priest
would drop that sensor,
00:39:27.54\00:39:30.42
and he would come out
of the most holy place.
00:39:30.43\00:39:32.38
And no one knew when
he was going to do that?
00:39:32.39\00:39:34.09
No one knew and the high
priest is going to come out
00:39:34.63\00:39:36.46
of the most holy place
on the Day of Atonement.
00:39:36.47\00:39:38.13
He'd be there sometimes
like last year He was in it
00:39:38.14\00:39:39.75
for like three
hours year before that,
00:39:39.76\00:39:41.08
I don't know how
it worked exactly.
00:39:41.09\00:39:42.09
You know, as far as
how long he had been there,
00:39:42.10\00:39:43.62
but he wasn't always in
there for same amount of time.
00:39:43.63\00:39:46.43
And the people never
knew when He was going
00:39:46.83\00:39:48.05
to come out at
the most holy place.
00:39:48.06\00:39:49.27
So they'd be outside
afflicting their souls
00:39:49.28\00:39:51.29
praying asking
God for forgiveness,
00:39:51.30\00:39:52.89
making sure
they're right with him.
00:39:52.90\00:39:54.09
Because if they didn't
and the high priest come out
00:39:54.57\00:39:56.99
of the most holy
place, you know what happened?
00:39:57.00\00:39:58.37
They were cut
off, they were lost,
00:39:58.38\00:40:00.81
they couldn't
be saved, you know,
00:40:00.82\00:40:02.29
they were cut
off from the people.
00:40:02.30\00:40:03.27
And so when you apply
that to the actual real thing
00:40:04.00\00:40:06.74
taking place with Jesus
now in the most holy place
00:40:06.75\00:40:09.49
in heaven and what
should we would be doing?
00:40:09.50\00:40:10.94
afflicting our
souls, The Day of Atonement
00:40:11.61\00:40:13.81
is taking place,
The Day of Atonement,
00:40:13.82\00:40:15.30
the typical part of it right,
the actual fulfillment of this.
00:40:15.31\00:40:18.24
Jesus is now in
the most holy place
00:40:18.68\00:40:19.87
and as we confess our sins,
they are still piling up there,
00:40:19.88\00:40:22.58
He is still forgiving them.
But if we're not afflicting
00:40:22.59\00:40:26.50
our self, we're not
confessing our sins,
00:40:26.51\00:40:27.85
they are not going
there. And you know what's gonna
00:40:27.86\00:40:29.58
happen very soon.
He's gonna come out,
00:40:29.59\00:40:32.65
he's gonna come out
of the most holy place.
00:40:33.56\00:40:34.94
So it would take Jesus
no time to actually cleanse
00:40:34.95\00:40:38.81
the sanctuary right?
He can do it real quick,
00:40:38.82\00:40:40.96
what's taking him
so long? You and me,
00:40:41.34\00:40:43.57
you know your
sanctuary... you know,
00:40:44.66\00:40:46.21
your body is a temple of God.
All, all of us collectively,
00:40:46.22\00:40:48.80
God is waiting
for to cleanse us;
00:40:49.62\00:40:51.53
He's pouring His
spirit out upon His people,
00:40:51.54\00:40:53.55
He's doing the
cleansing process,
00:40:53.56\00:40:55.48
if we'll let
him, if we'll let him.
00:40:55.49\00:40:58.68
He's getting a people
ready for translation.
00:40:59.82\00:41:02.38
He's getting a people
ready to go to heaven.
00:41:02.83\00:41:04.31
He's waiting on us, He
can cleanse the sanctuary
00:41:04.32\00:41:06.82
there in no time. I
like it in John chapter 14
00:41:06.83\00:41:10.22
when it says: In my Father's
house are many mansions:
00:41:10.23\00:41:12.91
if it were not so,
I would have told you.
00:41:12.92\00:41:14.07
I go to prepare a place for
you. Many people will say oh!
00:41:14.08\00:41:16.30
Yeah, he's up there right
now like with his contractors
00:41:16.31\00:41:18.75
up there working
and they are building,
00:41:18.76\00:41:20.62
buildings and building
mansions, so we can all have
00:41:20.63\00:41:22.11
some place to live.
People actually believe that.
00:41:22.12\00:41:24.66
We're talking about
the God who spoke the words
00:41:25.65\00:41:27.23
into existence. How
long would it take Jesus
00:41:27.24\00:41:29.09
to prepare a place for
us? You know what place
00:41:29.10\00:41:31.20
He's trying to
prepare? He's trying to prepare
00:41:31.21\00:41:34.86
our hearts. He's
preparing us to be able
00:41:34.87\00:41:37.40
to go there.
You and I right now,
00:41:37.41\00:41:39.38
if an angel would
have pop in here right now
00:41:39.39\00:41:40.80
with all of his glory, you
know, what will happen to us?
00:41:40.81\00:41:42.31
We all fall down on
our face and we've just be
00:41:42.32\00:41:44.29
like past out like dead,
I mean like what happened
00:41:44.30\00:41:45.91
to the Roman
soldiers at Christ's tomb?
00:41:45.92\00:41:47.43
Do you know what would
happen if God would appear here
00:41:47.44\00:41:49.57
right here right now?
Everyone one of us would be
00:41:49.58\00:41:51.99
immediately evaporated, be gone.
00:41:52.00\00:41:53.96
He's preparing a people
to stand in his presence,
00:41:54.35\00:41:56.95
that's the cleansing,
the cleansing is taking place
00:41:57.80\00:42:00.30
right now, He is cleansing us.
00:42:00.31\00:42:01.28
How is he doing
it? Malachi chapter 3,
00:42:02.48\00:42:04.17
that's our next text, I
put it on the screen here
00:42:04.18\00:42:06.15
for a moment.
Malachi chapter 3 and I would
00:42:06.16\00:42:08.20
like to get Tim to
read that one, if you would.
00:42:08.21\00:42:10.34
It's the last book
of the Old Testament.
00:42:10.35\00:42:11.46
Malachi chapter 3,
the book before Matthew.
00:42:11.98\00:42:14.79
You notice most
people in their Bibles,
00:42:18.86\00:42:20.45
you have a blank
page here before Matthew,
00:42:21.13\00:42:22.60
right, you see that blank
page, just as a little note
00:42:23.22\00:42:25.39
that's a good
place to make notes.
00:42:25.40\00:42:26.54
You can get a lot of
notes here and right here
00:42:27.92\00:42:29.40
in that blank page.
But Malachi chapter 3,
00:42:29.41\00:42:31.45
Tim I want you to
read verses 1 through 6
00:42:32.42\00:42:35.16
when you get there,
Malachi 3, 1 through 6.
00:42:35.17\00:42:37.29
It says: "Behold, I
will send my messenger,
00:42:38.11\00:42:40.66
and he shall
prepare the way before me:
00:42:40.67\00:42:42.82
and the Lord, whom ye
seek, shall suddenly come
00:42:44.53\00:42:47.45
to his temple, even the
messenger of the covenant,
00:42:47.98\00:42:50.73
whom ye delight in:
behold, he shall come,
00:42:50.74\00:42:53.45
saith the Lord of
hosts. But who may abide
00:42:53.46\00:42:56.92
the day of his
coming? And who shall stand
00:42:56.93\00:42:59.66
when he appeareth? For
he is like a refiner's fire,
00:42:59.67\00:43:03.16
and like fullers'
soap: And he shall sit
00:43:03.17\00:43:07.38
as a refiner and
purifier of silver:
00:43:07.39\00:43:09.73
and he shall purify the
sons of Levi, and purge them
00:43:10.24\00:43:13.25
as gold and silver,
that they may offer unto
00:43:13.85\00:43:16.46
the Lord an
offering in righteousness.
00:43:16.47\00:43:18.34
Then shall the
offering of Judah and Jerusalem
00:43:19.08\00:43:21.13
be pleasant unto the
Lord, as in the days of old,
00:43:21.14\00:43:24.14
and as in former
years. And I will come near
00:43:24.79\00:43:28.34
to you to judgment; and
I will be a swift witness
00:43:28.35\00:43:33.41
against the sorcerers,
and against the adulterers,
00:43:33.42\00:43:36.14
and against false
swearers, and against those
00:43:36.15\00:43:39.21
that oppress the hireling
in his wages, the widow,
00:43:39.22\00:43:42.83
and the fatherless, and
that turn aside the stranger
00:43:43.44\00:43:47.23
from his right, and fear
not me, saith the Lord of hosts.
00:43:47.24\00:43:50.74
For I am the Lord, I
change not; therefore ye sons
00:43:51.12\00:43:54.57
of Jacob are not
consumed. I am the Lord,
00:43:54.58\00:43:57.85
I change not
therefore you are not consumed
00:43:57.86\00:43:59.79
at the end of that,
think about that what
00:43:59.80\00:44:01.38
they are saying. Is
it God of love and mercy?
00:44:01.39\00:44:04.07
that's why you are not consumed,
00:44:04.08\00:44:05.20
I don't changed,
I'm still merciful and,
00:44:05.21\00:44:07.29
and how do we know? Why
is he, or how do we know
00:44:07.30\00:44:09.63
he saying that?
Because just above that
00:44:09.64\00:44:10.94
He says: all the
people doing sorcery
00:44:10.95\00:44:12.18
and all these
kind of things right.
00:44:12.19\00:44:13.27
If he just like
done quick justice,
00:44:13.65\00:44:15.59
we would all
immediately be wiped out.
00:44:15.60\00:44:17.14
But notice what he says,
what's he doing right now?
00:44:17.60\00:44:19.34
He's purifying his people.
Let me, let me just pick it up
00:44:19.80\00:44:23.95
on it again, it says: "Behold,
I will send my messenger,
00:44:23.96\00:44:26.08
and he shall prepare
the way before the Lord.
00:44:26.09\00:44:27.35
Verse 2: But who may
abide the day of his coming?
00:44:27.75\00:44:31.71
Or who shall
stand when he appeareth?
00:44:31.72\00:44:33.35
For he is like a refiner's
fire, and like fullers' soap.
00:44:33.36\00:44:36.01
He's doing a
refining, in another words
00:44:36.50\00:44:38.99
the only people that
can stand in His coming,
00:44:39.00\00:44:40.51
are those people that
allow Him to refine them
00:44:40.98\00:44:43.54
and make them pure and
white with the fuller' soap,
00:44:43.55\00:44:46.53
you know, he's
working on us right now.
00:44:46.54\00:44:48.29
He's working on our
hearts, he's purifying us.
00:44:48.84\00:44:50.42
I remember, I got
this friend Sergio
00:44:50.43\00:44:52.15
and he makes teeth for a living.
00:44:52.55\00:44:54.02
And one of the things
he makes, people something
00:44:54.83\00:44:58.00
want gold teeth
another things like that
00:44:58.01\00:44:59.33
and he got his crucibles in
their place where do the teeth
00:44:59.34\00:45:03.51
and they heat up
the metal. And you know,
00:45:03.52\00:45:05.44
and they got to keep
getting the drossy stuff off,
00:45:05.45\00:45:06.78
because you want to just
the best metal they can get
00:45:06.79\00:45:08.73
when they make these
different silver teeth or gold
00:45:08.74\00:45:10.62
or copper teeth.
And he brought some
00:45:10.63\00:45:11.97
pictures in of these
crucibles and things like
00:45:11.98\00:45:13.62
that and showed us
what they were like
00:45:13.63\00:45:14.60
and how it work
like, one time at church,
00:45:14.61\00:45:16.35
when we've
studying this very thing.
00:45:16.36\00:45:17.95
In another words, what Jesus
is doing? What a crucible is?
00:45:17.96\00:45:20.83
Its where you put the
precious metal in there
00:45:20.84\00:45:22.81
and to be heated it up and
it melts and gets hot under
00:45:23.23\00:45:25.23
that heat, under that
fire right, that would being us
00:45:25.24\00:45:27.98
getting hot
under the persecution
00:45:27.99\00:45:29.56
and things like that,
the trials of this world.
00:45:29.59\00:45:31.38
And he looks at it,
and it's all drossy on top.
00:45:32.41\00:45:35.02
You can't see
anything but drossy stuff,
00:45:35.03\00:45:36.34
because all that
nastiness rises to the top
00:45:36.35\00:45:38.82
and the impurities do
rise at the top under the heat.
00:45:38.83\00:45:41.03
So, you know what, you
know what the refiner does?
00:45:41.04\00:45:42.80
He scrapes off the top
of that. And then he keeps
00:45:42.81\00:45:46.50
heating up and it gets
more of the drossy stuff
00:45:46.51\00:45:48.88
on top like that, the
impurities just keep coming
00:45:48.89\00:45:51.14
to the top and he's
scraping off the top until
00:45:51.15\00:45:52.58
you know eventually
does happen? He looks into it
00:45:52.59\00:45:55.97
and the person refining it,
we'll see his reflection in it.
00:45:56.14\00:45:58.82
And when see his
reflection in it, you know
00:45:59.49\00:46:01.65
what he has to do it
immediately at that time,
00:46:01.66\00:46:03.18
take it off the
heat, because if he leaves
00:46:03.19\00:46:05.25
it in the heat, you
know what will happen?
00:46:05.26\00:46:06.66
It will ruin the metal.
What's God doing right now?
00:46:06.67\00:46:09.63
What symbolism is
given here that God is doing
00:46:10.16\00:46:12.33
with the crucible and
with the refiner' fire,
00:46:12.34\00:46:15.12
what's he doing?
He's waiting till He sees
00:46:15.13\00:46:18.74
His reflection in us,
and when that time comes.
00:46:18.75\00:46:20.80
Now, think about
it during the judgment
00:46:20.81\00:46:22.78
and while He's cleansing
us. When that time comes,
00:46:22.79\00:46:25.57
when He sees His
reflection in you, Vanessa.
00:46:25.58\00:46:28.47
When He sees the
reflection in me and His people,
00:46:29.01\00:46:31.56
when he sees his reflection,
he can't wait any longer.
00:46:31.57\00:46:33.67
He can't let it go
any longer, then He comes.
00:46:35.05\00:46:36.59
The good news of
this whole judgment scene
00:46:36.60\00:46:40.08
that we've looked
here, the good news about it,
00:46:40.09\00:46:41.43
is God is doing
the judging right now,
00:46:41.88\00:46:43.40
He's looking in His
people, He's finding His people.
00:46:43.41\00:46:45.19
You know, the
Bible says that God,
00:46:45.20\00:46:46.79
the God eyes run to
and fro in the earth,
00:46:46.80\00:46:49.15
looking for those people that
whose heart is right with them.
00:46:49.16\00:46:52.07
And to show himself
mighty in their behalf,
00:46:52.47\00:46:55.16
I think it's in
2nd Chronicle 16.
00:46:55.63\00:46:57.47
I'm not a 100 percent
sure, hold on I can tell you.
00:46:57.48\00:46:59.27
It's interesting
statement to have isn't it?
00:47:00.26\00:47:02.13
Let's see it's in, 2nd
Chronicle 69, 2nd Chronicle 69
00:47:02.14\00:47:09.16
where you find
that, where His eye's run
00:47:09.17\00:47:10.51
to and fro in the
earth. God even now,
00:47:10.64\00:47:12.68
He's wanting to
prepare a people through
00:47:13.70\00:47:15.83
this judgment process who
will be ready when He comes.
00:47:15.84\00:47:18.57
And when His people are ready,
00:47:19.49\00:47:21.04
when that temple is cleansed,
when everything is done,
00:47:21.48\00:47:23.81
Jesus is gonna come
and He's gonna take us home
00:47:23.82\00:47:27.93
to be with Him.
Amen. I'm looking forward
00:47:27.94\00:47:30.00
to that time. Amen.
When this judgment scene is.
00:47:30.01\00:47:32.09
Now, we have just
a few more minutes
00:47:32.10\00:47:34.33
and what I want
to do here in just
00:47:34.34\00:47:35.31
a few more minutes,
just because the time part
00:47:35.32\00:47:37.76
of this thing is a little
sketchy in some people's minds
00:47:37.77\00:47:40.09
you know, I remember
when I first learned this,
00:47:40.10\00:47:42.72
I went through the
study, the first time
00:47:42.73\00:47:44.34
as I was looking at this. I
was really in pretty trouble
00:47:44.35\00:47:47.09
because it's like
man I'm not getting this.
00:47:47.10\00:47:48.67
This is so hard to understand
and if you're going through
00:47:49.25\00:47:52.34
about four or five, six
times, it didn't make sense,
00:47:52.35\00:47:54.81
but I still couldn't
explain to somebody else,
00:47:54.82\00:47:56.12
you know. And
even now, I feel like
00:47:56.83\00:47:59.05
I can't explain to
somebody else, so I have
00:47:59.06\00:48:00.37
people come to me and
said that make no sense at all.
00:48:00.38\00:48:02.01
I'm like well, it didn't
to me either the first time
00:48:02.02\00:48:04.08
you know, but after
I went over and over
00:48:04.09\00:48:05.75
and over and
over and the guy that
00:48:05.76\00:48:06.86
I was hearing it from,
I believe if I'm mistaking
00:48:06.87\00:48:08.89
the first time I heard
this was from Doug Batchelor.
00:48:08.90\00:48:10.94
And so did you think
he can make it clear?
00:48:11.46\00:48:13.22
You know, I love that
guy, he makes it awful clear,
00:48:13.45\00:48:14.95
makes things very clear,
but I still didn't get it.
00:48:15.02\00:48:16.45
It seems like he was
just talking in tongues,
00:48:16.54\00:48:19.55
you know he was
speaking in another language.
00:48:19.56\00:48:21.66
But after I heard it
several times then I started
00:48:21.82\00:48:24.08
tying things
together and understanding it.
00:48:24.09\00:48:25.60
And I said, Oh! I
get it and I understood
00:48:25.61\00:48:28.30
why it was
important? Because this assures
00:48:28.31\00:48:31.02
that judgment
begins in 1844 to let to us
00:48:31.03\00:48:33.46
we're in the last days
as sure as that time is,
00:48:33.47\00:48:35.76
is as sure as
Jesus coming on time.
00:48:35.77\00:48:37.64
And so when you start
tying these things together,
00:48:38.04\00:48:39.64
you know, that just
assure as Christ came,
00:48:39.65\00:48:41.13
the judgment happen
too. So, what I want to do,
00:48:41.88\00:48:43.85
I just want to
backup just a little bit
00:48:43.86\00:48:45.39
and do a little
bit of review with you,
00:48:45.40\00:48:46.82
all we have a few
minutes. So, let's go back to
00:48:46.83\00:48:48.30
Daniel chapter 8
rather, Daniel chapter 8.
00:48:48.31\00:48:52.32
And we look in Daniel
chapter 8, we find out
00:48:53.70\00:48:56.52
and once again that the
word, two words of vision
00:48:56.53\00:48:59.52
were Mareh and Hazon,
right. And in Daniel chapter 8
00:48:59.53\00:49:03.84
verse 26 it says: The Mareh,
00:49:03.85\00:49:05.47
the vision of the
evening and the morning
00:49:05.48\00:49:06.76
which was told is true:
therefore shut up the vision;
00:49:06.77\00:49:09.79
for it shall be for
many days. So, he tells them
00:49:09.80\00:49:12.36
to shut the vision up, it
is true, shut up were to be
00:49:12.37\00:49:14.93
for when? Many
days, so it's gonna be
00:49:14.94\00:49:17.31
applying to, still
yet into the future.
00:49:17.32\00:49:19.51
And then Daniel fainted,
and was sick certain days;
00:49:20.32\00:49:22.36
and after that he rose up,
and did the king's business;
00:49:22.37\00:49:24.49
and he says, he was
astonished at the vision,
00:49:24.50\00:49:25.88
but nobody
understood it. Now I had trouble
00:49:25.89\00:49:27.58
with this sometimes,
Daniel didn't understand it,
00:49:27.59\00:49:30.94
but Daniel writes himself
even he is very uncertain,
00:49:31.55\00:49:34.04
he write something that
may give you some encouragement
00:49:34.05\00:49:36.13
right now. Did Daniel understand
00:49:36.14\00:49:37.12
the vision at this time?
No, but did God eventually
00:49:37.13\00:49:39.81
get him understanding.
Okay, look at Daniel chapter 12,
00:49:39.82\00:49:44.02
Daniel chapter 12, we're
gonna tie these two statements
00:49:44.03\00:49:48.35
together to give
us encouragement,
00:49:48.36\00:49:49.49
because some people
might not understand it,
00:49:49.50\00:49:50.94
and become discouraged.
But notice that Daniel
00:49:50.95\00:49:53.30
didn't understand at
the beginning either,
00:49:53.31\00:49:54.47
but he
understood later, all right.
00:49:54.48\00:49:56.74
Look at Daniel
chapter 12, it says:
00:49:56.75\00:49:58.38
"And many of them
that sleep in the dust,
00:49:59.18\00:50:00.50
verse 2, I'm in
verse 2: "And many of them
00:50:00.51\00:50:01.96
that sleep in the dust
of the earth shall awake,
00:50:01.97\00:50:03.15
some to everlasting
life, and some to shame
00:50:03.16\00:50:04.76
and everlasting
contempt. And they that be wise,
00:50:04.77\00:50:07.69
verse 3: They that be
what? Wise shall shine
00:50:07.70\00:50:11.41
as the
brightness of the firmament;
00:50:11.42\00:50:13.51
and they shall turn
many to righteousness
00:50:13.52\00:50:15.20
and shall be as
stars forever and ever.
00:50:15.21\00:50:17.78
So, the wise,
what's wise gonna do?
00:50:18.15\00:50:20.50
They gonna turn many
people to righteousness.
00:50:20.51\00:50:21.68
So, the wise
people are people that are
00:50:21.69\00:50:23.38
preaching God's
message aren't they?
00:50:23.59\00:50:25.42
Look now in verse
9: Daniel 12 verse 9:
00:50:25.46\00:50:28.28
He said, Go your way, Daniel;
for the words are closed up
00:50:29.34\00:50:31.76
and sealed to when,
the time of the end.
00:50:31.77\00:50:33.94
So, there are
people gonna understand it
00:50:33.95\00:50:35.32
before the time of
the end comes along?
00:50:35.33\00:50:36.36
No...not before the
time of the end comes along.
00:50:36.87\00:50:38.92
I'm sorry, I'll
pick you out on that,
00:50:38.93\00:50:40.85
no one heard you on
the recording anyway there,
00:50:40.86\00:50:43.03
Anita. But no one, what he says?
00:50:43.04\00:50:48.08
it say it would
be for time being.
00:50:48.09\00:50:49.06
In another words, it won't
be understood till you reach
00:50:49.07\00:50:50.64
the time of the end.
And so many people wonder
00:50:50.65\00:50:52.39
what all these stuff meant,
until like the time of the end
00:50:52.40\00:50:54.88
begin run about
1844 timeframe right?
00:50:54.89\00:50:56.55
But look what it
says in verse 10:
00:50:56.56\00:50:57.90
Many shall be purified,
and made white, and tried,
00:50:58.22\00:51:00.22
many shall be purified,
made and made white and tried,
00:51:00.23\00:51:03.99
what do we learn
at the end of Daniel?
00:51:04.00\00:51:05.23
At the end of our
study. The crucible right,
00:51:05.75\00:51:07.86
the purification process,
many people gonna go through
00:51:07.87\00:51:10.42
these purification
process, are you following this?
00:51:10.43\00:51:12.94
But the wicked
shall do wickedly.
00:51:13.54\00:51:15.44
So during the
purification process
00:51:15.88\00:51:17.63
what's gonna happen the
wicked, what are the wicked
00:51:17.64\00:51:19.45
are gonna be doing?
They're gonna be doing
00:51:19.46\00:51:20.95
wickedly and none of
the wicked will understand.
00:51:20.96\00:51:23.41
None of the
wicked will understand.
00:51:24.70\00:51:25.97
Now, you're thinking oh!
Look I'm not getting this,
00:51:25.98\00:51:28.20
does that mean
you're wicked? Carry on.
00:51:28.21\00:51:30.65
But the wise shall understand,
the wise shall understand.
00:51:31.61\00:51:35.56
Now did Daniel understand
when he first heard it?
00:51:35.57\00:51:37.63
No, but did he eventually after,
after sometime did he get,
00:51:38.18\00:51:41.18
get what was going
on taking place? Yeah,
00:51:41.19\00:51:42.83
because Gabriel came
back and explained it to him,
00:51:42.84\00:51:44.67
the spirit of God
was working with him
00:51:44.68\00:51:45.77
and explain it to
him what was going on.
00:51:45.78\00:51:47.65
So, and I love how is
here, because how do you know
00:51:47.66\00:51:50.45
who's the wise is? Do
you know who's the wise
00:51:50.46\00:51:52.49
is based on their understanding.
No, back in verse 3,
00:51:52.50\00:51:56.04
it tells us how you
know who the wise is?
00:51:56.05\00:51:57.37
Who are the wise?
Those who turn people
00:51:57.99\00:52:00.21
to righteousness.
So if you gonna to have
00:52:00.22\00:52:02.46
an understanding of
what God, what's spirit
00:52:02.47\00:52:04.27
to God is teaching to
like any of these prophesies
00:52:04.28\00:52:06.55
and things like that,
you are struggling with it.
00:52:06.56\00:52:07.81
One of the things
you may need to be doing
00:52:08.33\00:52:10.08
is sharing what you
know. You're turning people
00:52:10.09\00:52:12.90
to righteousness.
You're teaching people
00:52:12.91\00:52:14.16
about Jesus.
You're teaching them
00:52:14.17\00:52:15.23
that he wants them
to ready for His coming.
00:52:15.24\00:52:16.52
And even though you
might not understand
00:52:16.53\00:52:18.11
all the details as
you share your faith,
00:52:18.12\00:52:20.25
you know God's gonna do for you.
00:52:20.26\00:52:21.25
What's He gonna do for
you? He's gonna give you
00:52:21.81\00:52:23.94
understanding,
you're gonna be wise,
00:52:23.95\00:52:25.54
because it's the wise that
turn people to righteousness.
00:52:26.28\00:52:28.13
So it says many of
purified made white,
00:52:28.14\00:52:30.23
the wicked will do wickedly,
but the wise will understand.
00:52:30.24\00:52:32.46
You want a
understanding of this?
00:52:33.57\00:52:34.58
Come to Life, we'll
teach you how to share
00:52:35.83\00:52:38.82
your faith with others
and you will be wise, right?
00:52:38.83\00:52:41.83
You will be turning
people to righteousness,
00:52:42.91\00:52:44.27
that's what that's about.
Now back to this again okay.
00:52:44.28\00:52:47.07
So, Daniel then, he didn't
not understand the vision,
00:52:47.60\00:52:50.31
the Mareh and then we
go to Daniel chapter 9
00:52:50.32\00:52:53.51
and there was a link
between 2300 Day Prophecy,
00:52:53.52\00:52:57.65
there was a link between
2300 days in Daniel chapter 8
00:52:58.14\00:53:01.02
and a link between
that the 70 week prophecy
00:53:01.03\00:53:03.78
in Daniel chapter 9? You
remember what that link was?
00:53:03.79\00:53:05.33
How we link them
together? The word, the word,
00:53:05.34\00:53:07.72
what was the word?
Mareh, Mareh or vision, right?
00:53:07.73\00:53:10.47
the two words
use for vision there,
00:53:10.48\00:53:12.17
that's only time you find
it using in those two chapters,
00:53:12.18\00:53:14.38
is the link in the
2300 days with the 70 weeks.
00:53:14.39\00:53:17.63
And it says, the
70 weeks are cut off,
00:53:18.07\00:53:19.75
remember what did that
cut off, cut off from what?
00:53:19.76\00:53:21.99
From that 2300 day timeframe
has to be cut off from that.
00:53:22.75\00:53:26.49
Are you
following, every body okay?
00:53:27.08\00:53:29.07
Now, some people say,
now why can the 2300 days
00:53:29.08\00:53:31.75
be cut off from the end
of it? Why is that be cut off
00:53:31.76\00:53:33.34
from the beginning?
That's a good question isn't it?
00:53:33.35\00:53:35.21
How do you know the 2300
day and the 70 weeks is cut off
00:53:35.22\00:53:38.44
from the
beginning and not the end?
00:53:38.45\00:53:39.53
How do you now that?
Because of Christ, right?
00:53:40.08\00:53:45.46
if you cut it off from
the end of the 2300 days
00:53:45.47\00:53:47.83
and so you pick
something out at the end 457 BC
00:53:47.84\00:53:50.57
and you go to the end and
then you back up in 457 BC
00:53:50.58\00:53:53.64
and go to the other
way right, is that taking
00:53:53.65\00:53:55.64
to the time of the end?
No, if you go 457 BC backwards
00:53:55.65\00:54:00.08
you know, you know you
can't, that takes nowhere
00:54:00.48\00:54:03.01
near the time of the
end. And then the whole Christ
00:54:03.02\00:54:05.14
prophecy wouldn't fit
either, so God's give us a dual
00:54:05.15\00:54:06.98
prophecy here; He gives
us a 70 weeks and 2300 days.
00:54:06.99\00:54:10.14
So it can both show you
that Christ came on time
00:54:10.15\00:54:12.27
and that the 2300 Days
Prophecy ended on time in 1844.
00:54:12.62\00:54:16.66
And remember, this
prophecy according to Daniel
00:54:17.12\00:54:18.93
and this in Daniel chapter
8, verse 19 this prophecy
00:54:19.47\00:54:23.21
is for the
appointed time at the end.
00:54:23.22\00:54:25.68
This is gonna, so the
time of the end according
00:54:26.75\00:54:29.24
to the Bible what end
sometime toward the later part
00:54:29.25\00:54:32.95
of this earth's history,
the time we're living in now,
00:54:33.45\00:54:35.18
around the year 1844.
So, it's taking us down
00:54:35.19\00:54:38.65
to the end of time.
Now, if the end time
00:54:38.66\00:54:42.44
or the time of the end
begins around that time
00:54:42.45\00:54:44.19
the 1844 timeframe,
what's that saying about
00:54:44.20\00:54:47.04
our time right
now? Do you understand
00:54:47.05\00:54:51.00
the importance of this prophecy?
00:54:51.01\00:54:52.12
Time is gonna about to be
no more, it's about to run out.
00:54:52.92\00:54:56.09
Aren't you looking forward
to the time you don't have stop,
00:54:56.57\00:54:58.13
you don't have a
clock. Amen. Like right now
00:54:58.14\00:55:00.04
they're holding our
hands up and things like
00:55:00.05\00:55:01.29
that on the camera and
say he's got like a minute
00:55:01.30\00:55:02.81
or two minutes how you
know, want to wrap this up
00:55:02.82\00:55:04.61
or whatever. One
day we can be in heaven
00:55:04.62\00:55:06.74
and we can all talk for
like 10 years nobody will get
00:55:06.75\00:55:09.29
tired of it. No stop watches
00:55:09.30\00:55:12.61
anything like that, because
you don't get tired, right?
00:55:12.62\00:55:14.31
You may say okay look,
I'll come back and listen
00:55:14.32\00:55:16.00
to you another in
next year but I'm gonna go
00:55:16.01\00:55:17.88
and take a year
off here is sabbatical.
00:55:17.89\00:55:19.83
Anyway, time one
day will run out,
00:55:19.84\00:55:23.08
now let us finish here,
we're gonna just finish up here.
00:55:23.49\00:55:26.80
I'll just add another text
in it, this is a little extra.
00:55:27.25\00:55:30.10
Now, when I give this
study in somebody's home,
00:55:30.11\00:55:31.95
this is another one, I
usually spend extra time with.
00:55:32.25\00:55:33.92
Like, I try to get done with
it. A lot of time I will go back
00:55:34.39\00:55:37.91
and study just a part I
just start with you again over.
00:55:38.55\00:55:41.01
I'll get my
little chart back out,
00:55:41.04\00:55:42.98
now I don't have
the chart on the slides,
00:55:42.99\00:55:44.08
so I can't go to my side
and show it to you again.
00:55:44.12\00:55:45.66
But I'll get my chart back out
this is just some good advice
00:55:46.09\00:55:47.79
I think and I just go
over one more with them.
00:55:47.84\00:55:50.09
Now, Pastor Scott
goes, goes crazy with me
00:55:50.50\00:55:52.11
if I do things like
that, because I end up being
00:55:52.12\00:55:53.74
in the home like an
hour and half and he says
00:55:53.75\00:55:54.92
they won't invite you
back, look I'm persistent.
00:55:54.93\00:55:56.86
You know, I
though invite you back,
00:55:57.33\00:55:59.36
but it puts you in
your home a lot longer,
00:56:01.17\00:56:03.54
but I'll try my best to
make sure... because normally,
00:56:03.55\00:56:06.37
unless somebody is a
really intelligent person,
00:56:06.38\00:56:07.89
really up there, they
don't get it the first time
00:56:07.90\00:56:10.55
or even the second time through,
but it's an important study.
00:56:10.56\00:56:13.11
Do you know, you know that
the 1844 investigative judgment
00:56:14.54\00:56:17.49
study is what
makes you particular
00:56:17.50\00:56:18.70
Seventh-day Adventist Christian?
00:56:18.71\00:56:19.75
It's the only truth
that's taught out there,
00:56:20.66\00:56:22.02
that this church holds
that no one else holds.
00:56:22.37\00:56:24.79
And those one of
the things that makes
00:56:26.28\00:56:27.56
this part of
God's remnant church.
00:56:27.57\00:56:28.91
And we're gonna study, a
study on the remnant later on
00:56:28.92\00:56:31.50
and who's God
remnant is? But, this is one
00:56:31.51\00:56:33.74
of those things. And
so, when this is eventually
00:56:33.75\00:56:36.88
finally said and
done, whether people
00:56:36.89\00:56:38.46
believe it or not,
Jesus one day is gonna make
00:56:38.47\00:56:40.71
the pronouncement at the
end of these judgment scene
00:56:40.72\00:56:43.19
in Revelation chapter 22
verse11: He that is unjust,
00:56:43.20\00:56:46.12
let him be unjust still, we
look at this at the beginning,
00:56:46.23\00:56:48.74
and he which is filthy,
let him be filthy still:
00:56:48.75\00:56:51.24
and he that is righteous,
let him be righteous still:
00:56:51.70\00:56:54.23
and he that is holy,
let him be holy still.
00:56:54.24\00:56:56.72
Now, what does that say,
what kind of language does
00:56:57.08\00:56:59.19
that sound like? Its
sound like finalization
00:56:59.20\00:57:02.56
of the Judgment scene
doesn't it? It's over that's it.
00:57:02.57\00:57:05.13
you are gonna remain holy
or you gonna remain filthy.
00:57:05.83\00:57:07.55
And then what's the
next line that takes place?
00:57:07.56\00:57:09.03
And behold I come
quickly. The judgment ends,
00:57:09.93\00:57:13.05
I'll be come quickly, you know
that ties in perfectly with,
00:57:13.06\00:57:14.77
Daniel 7 we look at that
three times there as well.
00:57:15.12\00:57:17.28
The Bible is replete with
this, with this whole theme,
00:57:17.88\00:57:19.64
judgment then the Second
Coming. And so I would like
00:57:19.65\00:57:23.44
to invite the people
or you guys here of course
00:57:23.45\00:57:25.65
but the people at home,
