Music...
00:00:01.36\00:00:31.16
James: This is it!
00:00:31.19\00:00:32.59
We are closing up
the book of Daniel.
00:00:32.66\00:00:35.23
Yvonne: Wow!
00:00:35.26\00:00:36.60
James: We are in
Daniel chapter 12...
00:00:36.63\00:00:38.53
we've really spent a
lot of time on verse 1
00:00:38.57\00:00:41.67
because it's an important verse.
00:00:41.70\00:00:43.27
It... it gives
us the escape route.
00:00:43.30\00:00:44.81
It shows us how
we're going to be delivered
00:00:44.84\00:00:47.08
and I think we've
really nailed that
00:00:47.11\00:00:48.91
at least from a
Biblical perspective.
00:00:48.94\00:00:50.71
You know, there's
always more in the Bible
00:00:50.75\00:00:52.55
and especially Bible prophecy
00:00:52.58\00:00:53.92
and we're going to
just touch on verses 2 and 3
00:00:53.95\00:00:56.38
because that
closes out the vision
00:00:56.45\00:00:57.82
and then we're going to
look at verses 4 through 13
00:00:57.85\00:01:00.66
which is kind of a
special instruction to Daniel
00:01:00.69\00:01:03.39
as he seeks to try to wrap his
mind around everything he's seen
00:01:03.43\00:01:08.90
and doesn't quite
comprehend all of it
00:01:08.96\00:01:11.10
and that's primarily
because it was written...
00:01:11.13\00:01:13.64
at least the parts
he's struggling with
00:01:13.67\00:01:15.57
were written for our
time... for the end of time,
00:01:15.60\00:01:18.97
so, Ivor, would you like to
pray for us as we get started?
00:01:19.01\00:01:22.94
Ivor: Yeah, let's
pray, "Heavenly Father,
00:01:22.98\00:01:26.18
we have come to the last
chapter of the book of Daniel.
00:01:26.21\00:01:31.09
We pray, Lord, that
You would just guide us
00:01:31.12\00:01:34.82
as we address
these final verses Lord,
00:01:34.86\00:01:38.99
help us to pull it all together
00:01:39.03\00:01:41.36
and we pray that our audience...
00:01:41.40\00:01:43.63
as they watch...
they will be blessed
00:01:43.67\00:01:45.70
and that they will be encouraged
00:01:45.73\00:01:48.07
to go and seek these
things out for themselves,
00:01:48.10\00:01:50.51
we pray this in
Jesus' name, amen. "
00:01:50.54\00:01:52.64
All: Amen.
00:01:52.67\00:01:54.01
James: So, these two verses...
00:01:54.04\00:01:55.94
I just want to... to
hold off on for a second,
00:01:56.01\00:01:59.25
put brackets around
because I want to...
00:01:59.28\00:02:01.78
I want to actually close
out with these two verses...
00:02:01.82\00:02:03.89
they're so powerful.
00:02:03.92\00:02:05.25
I want us to start with
verse 4 of Daniel chapter 12
00:02:05.29\00:02:09.92
where it... it gives
instruction to Daniel
00:02:09.96\00:02:14.20
and he's told that basically
this book needs to be sealed up
00:02:14.23\00:02:19.07
so, if we can read from
verse 4 through verse 8...
00:02:19.10\00:02:24.67
or 4 to 8 of Daniel 12.
00:02:24.71\00:02:27.31
Jason: Okay, "But you,
Daniel, shut up the words,
00:02:27.34\00:02:31.91
and seal the book
until the time of the end;
00:02:31.95\00:02:34.08
many shall run to and fro,
and knowledge shall increase. "
00:02:34.12\00:02:37.72
Then I, Daniel, looked;
and there stood two others,
00:02:37.75\00:02:42.19
one on this riverbank
00:02:42.22\00:02:44.03
and the other on that riverbank.
00:02:44.06\00:02:45.79
And one said to the
man clothed in linen,
00:02:45.83\00:02:48.46
who was above the
waters of the river,
00:02:48.50\00:02:51.07
"How long shall the fulfillment
of these wonders be?"
00:02:51.10\00:02:54.64
Then I heard the
man clothed in linen,
00:02:54.67\00:02:57.44
who was above the
waters of the river,
00:02:57.47\00:03:00.18
when he held up his right hand
and his left hand to heaven,
00:03:00.21\00:03:05.68
and swore by Him
who lives forever,
00:03:05.71\00:03:07.88
that it shall be for a
time, times, and half a time;
00:03:07.95\00:03:12.15
and when the
power of the holy people
00:03:12.19\00:03:15.06
has been completely shattered,
00:03:15.09\00:03:16.99
all these things
shall be finished.
00:03:17.03\00:03:19.79
Although I heard,
I did not understand.
00:03:19.86\00:03:22.63
Then I said,
00:03:22.66\00:03:24.00
"My lord, what shall be
the end of these things?"
00:03:24.03\00:03:27.84
James: Okay, let's keep reading,
00:03:27.87\00:03:29.20
let's read all the way through
verse... through the end.
00:03:29.24\00:03:31.87
Jason: Okay. "And he
said, 'Go your way, Daniel,
00:03:31.91\00:03:34.84
for the words are
closed up and sealed
00:03:34.91\00:03:37.35
till the time of the end.
00:03:37.38\00:03:38.71
Many shall be purified,
made white, and refined,
00:03:38.75\00:03:41.82
but the wicked
shall do wickedly;
00:03:41.85\00:03:44.15
and none of the
wicked shall understand,
00:03:44.19\00:03:46.49
but the wise shall understand.
00:03:46.52\00:03:48.02
And from the time that the
daily sacrifice is taken away,
00:03:48.06\00:03:51.89
and the abomination
of desolation is set up,
00:03:51.93\00:03:54.36
there shall be one thousand
two hundred and ninety days.
00:03:54.40\00:03:58.57
Blessed is he who waits,
00:03:58.60\00:04:00.84
and comes to the one thousand
00:04:00.87\00:04:02.90
three hundred
and thirty-five days.
00:04:02.94\00:04:05.57
But you, go your
way till the end;
00:04:05.61\00:04:08.21
for you shall rest,
00:04:08.24\00:04:09.84
and will arise
to your inheritance
00:04:09.88\00:04:12.21
at the end of the days. '"
00:04:12.25\00:04:13.58
James: The King James says,
00:04:13.62\00:04:14.95
"stand in your lot at
the end of the days. "
00:04:14.98\00:04:16.82
So, these verses
close up the book of Daniel
00:04:16.85\00:04:18.92
with special instruction,
"Daniel, seal up the words...
00:04:18.95\00:04:21.09
the book is sealed up. "
00:04:21.12\00:04:22.46
and then, Daniel's looking
and he's sees a certain man.
00:04:22.49\00:04:26.23
Now, that phrase is
lifted out of Daniel 10.
00:04:26.26\00:04:29.00
Do you remember the
certain man that he saw there?
00:04:29.03\00:04:30.90
Yvonne: Yes.
00:04:30.93\00:04:32.27
James: Ah...
ah... face like fire...
00:04:32.30\00:04:33.77
that was Jesus glorified,
you remember that picture?
00:04:33.80\00:04:36.77
We went to Revelation chapter
1 and Revelation chapter 2
00:04:36.81\00:04:39.67
and we alluded that that picture
was also found in Revelation
00:04:39.71\00:04:42.78
chapter 10. Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:04:42.84\00:04:44.51
James: Let's go to
Revelation chapter 10 right now
00:04:44.58\00:04:46.65
and Yvonne, would you read
for us in Revelation chapter 10
00:04:46.68\00:04:49.72
beginning with verse 1
00:04:49.75\00:04:51.22
and I want you to
read verses 1... 2...
00:04:51.25\00:04:55.42
and then I want you to
skip over verses 3 and 4
00:04:55.46\00:05:00.36
and then I want you to
read verses 5 through 7.
00:05:00.40\00:05:05.23
One, two, five through seven.
00:05:05.30\00:05:08.50
Yvonne: "I saw
still another mighty angel
00:05:08.57\00:05:12.07
coming down from heaven,
00:05:12.11\00:05:13.44
clothed with a cloud.
00:05:13.48\00:05:14.81
And a rainbow was on his head,
00:05:14.84\00:05:16.81
his face was like the sun,
00:05:16.85\00:05:18.95
and his feet
like pillars of fire.
00:05:18.98\00:05:21.22
He had a little
book open in his hand.
00:05:21.25\00:05:23.69
And he set his
right foot on the sea
00:05:23.72\00:05:26.15
and his left foot on the land.
00:05:26.19\00:05:27.82
The angel whom I saw standing
on the sea and on the land
00:05:27.86\00:05:31.69
raised up his hand to heaven
00:05:31.73\00:05:33.80
and swore by Him who
lives forever and ever,
00:05:33.83\00:05:36.70
who created heaven and
the things that are in it,
00:05:36.73\00:05:39.80
the earth and the
things that are in it,
00:05:39.83\00:05:42.40
and the sea and the
things that are in it,
00:05:42.44\00:05:44.91
that there should
be delay no longer... "
00:05:44.94\00:05:47.51
James: Okay, and the King
James says, "time no longer. "
00:05:47.54\00:05:50.01
Yvonne: Ah...
00:05:50.05\00:05:51.38
James: So, I want you
just to keep your hand there
00:05:51.41\00:05:54.15
keep your hand in Daniel 12
00:05:54.18\00:05:55.55
and notice the parallels
that are taking place here
00:05:55.58\00:05:58.32
because there are two places
that the book of Daniel connects
00:05:58.35\00:06:00.86
with the book of Revelation.
00:06:00.89\00:06:02.26
One of them we
noted in Revelation 13
00:06:02.29\00:06:04.89
that has those beasts and
those horns with crowns...
00:06:04.93\00:06:08.13
connects with the beasts in
Daniel and the horns in Daniel.
00:06:08.16\00:06:11.80
The second place is
Daniel 12 and Revelation 10.
00:06:11.83\00:06:15.50
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:06:15.54\00:06:16.87
James: Because you
remember this certain man
00:06:16.91\00:06:18.24
is Christ glorified.
00:06:18.27\00:06:19.61
In Revelation 10, we
have this angel or messenger
00:06:19.64\00:06:23.01
that's glorified.
00:06:23.04\00:06:24.38
Remember his sun is like the...
face is like the sun, etc...
00:06:24.41\00:06:27.05
Yvonne: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:06:27.08\00:06:28.42
James: And then in Daniel 12,
the book of Daniel is sealed...
00:06:28.45\00:06:31.72
in Revelation 10, a
little book is opened.
00:06:31.75\00:06:34.96
Yvonne: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:06:34.99\00:06:36.32
James: In Daniel 12, he stands
on the waters of the river...
00:06:36.36\00:06:40.73
in Revelation 10, he
stands on the land and the sea
00:06:40.76\00:06:44.20
which means a larger
proclamation of this...
00:06:44.23\00:06:47.60
of this message that's in
this little book of Daniel.
00:06:47.64\00:06:49.90
In Daniel 12, he lifts
up his hands to heaven...
00:06:49.94\00:06:53.58
in Revelation 10, he
lifts up his hand to heaven...
00:06:53.61\00:06:57.15
in Daniel 12, he swears by Him
that lives forever and ever...
00:06:57.21\00:06:59.68
in Revelation 10, he swears
by Him that lives forever...
00:06:59.71\00:07:02.58
in Daniel 12, he says,
"there's going to be...
00:07:02.62\00:07:04.35
it's going to be sealed up for
time, times and a half a time,
00:07:04.42\00:07:06.39
and for 1290 and 1335...
00:07:06.42\00:07:08.32
in Revelation chapter 10,
he says, "time no longer. "
00:07:08.36\00:07:10.56
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:07:10.59\00:07:11.93
James: It's not sealed
up anymore... it's done.
00:07:11.96\00:07:14.30
Yvonne: Wow!
00:07:14.33\00:07:15.70
James: Now, what
are we waiting for?
00:07:15.73\00:07:17.07
Now, we're waiting for the
mystery of God to be finished.
00:07:17.10\00:07:20.04
We're not waiting
for a time prophecy,
00:07:20.07\00:07:21.87
we're waiting for
the mystery of God
00:07:21.90\00:07:23.94
which according
to Colossians 1:26
00:07:23.97\00:07:25.94
is... "Christ in us
the hope of glory. "
00:07:25.97\00:07:27.91
We're waiting for
the character of Christ
00:07:27.94\00:07:29.84
to be revealed in His people,
00:07:29.88\00:07:31.25
we're waiting for the
gospel to go to the world
00:07:31.28\00:07:33.21
as a witness to all nations
00:07:33.25\00:07:34.58
and then the end
is going to come.
00:07:34.62\00:07:35.95
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:07:35.98\00:07:37.32
James: We're not
waiting for time.
00:07:37.35\00:07:38.69
The time
prophecies of Daniel 11 or 12,
00:07:38.72\00:07:40.06
are like an envelope
that contains a message.
00:07:40.09\00:07:44.06
That envelope has an
address from where it came
00:07:44.09\00:07:48.10
and an address to
where it's going, right,
00:07:48.16\00:07:50.63
and it's sealed up.
00:07:50.67\00:07:52.00
Yvonne: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:07:52.03\00:07:53.37
James: It's got
a message inside.
00:07:53.40\00:07:54.74
When it gets to its destination,
00:07:54.77\00:07:56.10
you open the envelope...
the time prophecies...
00:07:56.14\00:07:57.87
you put them to the side...
00:07:57.91\00:07:59.47
they tell you where
these prophecies came from
00:07:59.54\00:08:00.88
and where they're going to
00:08:00.91\00:08:02.24
so, they came from Daniel's day
00:08:02.28\00:08:04.28
and they're going to
the time of the end...
00:08:04.31\00:08:06.21
you open up and you read
the prophecies themselves.
00:08:06.25\00:08:09.48
Right? Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:08:09.52\00:08:10.92
James: Those time
prophecies were just an envelope
00:08:10.95\00:08:13.56
to carry the content...
00:08:13.59\00:08:14.92
the message to our time...
00:08:14.96\00:08:16.29
so, that time... that
envelope is no longer...
00:08:16.32\00:08:19.19
that time prophecy is no longer,
00:08:19.23\00:08:20.66
now, what are we looking for?
00:08:20.70\00:08:22.03
we're looking for the
mystery of God to be finished.
00:08:22.06\00:08:24.43
How does that take place?
00:08:24.47\00:08:25.80
Well, we just read about it
in Daniel chapter 12 verse 1.
00:08:25.83\00:08:27.94
Yvonne: Ah...
00:08:27.97\00:08:29.67
James: Getting into
the Word of God, right?
00:08:29.70\00:08:31.77
Meditating upon Jesus...
00:08:31.81\00:08:34.04
Daniel 12:1 in comparison with
00:08:34.08\00:08:37.15
Malachi chapter
3 verses 15 and 16,
00:08:37.18\00:08:40.98
you know, "those who fear
me will think upon my name...
00:08:41.02\00:08:43.69
those who fear me will
talk often one to another. "
00:08:43.72\00:08:45.92
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:08:45.95\00:08:47.29
James: So, what we're seeing
here is a connection between
00:08:47.32\00:08:49.79
Daniel chapter 12 and
Revelation chapter 10.
00:08:49.82\00:08:52.63
Now, the reason this
is significant is because
00:08:52.66\00:08:55.40
in Revelation chapter
10... we've studied this in our
00:08:55.43\00:08:59.13
Salvation in Symbols
and Signs in Revelation,
00:08:59.17\00:09:00.84
in Revelation chapter 10,
00:09:00.87\00:09:03.07
we have the bitter
disappointment of 1844.
00:09:03.10\00:09:07.28
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:09:07.31\00:09:08.64
James: Okay, let's just
read just a few more verses here
00:09:08.68\00:09:10.18
in Revelation chapter 10
00:09:10.25\00:09:11.58
because I know you
guys kept your hands here
00:09:11.61\00:09:12.95
so we could easily do that...
00:09:12.98\00:09:14.32
I didn't... I failed
to follow my instruction.
00:09:14.35\00:09:16.18
All: Laughter.
00:09:16.22\00:09:17.55
James: Let's read
now, Revelation chapter 10
00:09:17.59\00:09:20.06
and verses 8 through 10.
00:09:20.09\00:09:23.53
Jason: "Then the voice
which I heard from heaven
00:09:23.56\00:09:26.43
spoke to me again and said,
00:09:26.46\00:09:27.96
'Go, take the little book which
is open in the hand of the angel
00:09:28.00\00:09:31.13
who stands on the
sea and on the earth. '
00:09:31.17\00:09:33.44
So I went to the
angel and said to him,
00:09:33.47\00:09:35.67
'Give me the little book. '
00:09:35.70\00:09:37.04
And he said to
me, 'Take and eat it;
00:09:37.07\00:09:39.17
and it will make
your stomach bitter,
00:09:39.21\00:09:41.51
but it will be as sweet
as honey in your mouth. '
00:09:41.54\00:09:43.95
Then I took the little book out
of the angel's hand and ate it,
00:09:43.98\00:09:47.68
and it was as sweet
as honey in my mouth.
00:09:47.72\00:09:49.58
But when I had eaten it,
my stomach became bitter. "
00:09:49.62\00:09:52.69
James: So, we see here
00:09:52.72\00:09:54.06
that Daniel 12 is connecting
with Revelation chapter 10.
00:09:54.09\00:09:57.59
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:09:57.63\00:09:58.96
James: The angel in Daniel 12,
00:09:58.99\00:10:00.33
the certain man in Daniel 12
goes through the same motions
00:10:00.36\00:10:02.93
when he seals up
the book of Daniel
00:10:02.96\00:10:04.93
as he does... when the
book of Daniel is opened
00:10:04.97\00:10:07.84
and that leads us
to this movement...
00:10:07.87\00:10:10.57
we call it the
Millerite Movement historically
00:10:10.61\00:10:12.67
that went through a
bitter-sweet disappointment.
00:10:12.71\00:10:14.71
We've talked about this
00:10:14.74\00:10:16.08
in relationship to
the 2300-day prophecy.
00:10:16.11\00:10:18.15
The disciples were
bitterly disappointed
00:10:18.18\00:10:20.42
on the first end that prophecy
00:10:20.45\00:10:22.12
and the
Millerites were disappointed
00:10:22.15\00:10:23.99
on the second
end of that prophecy
00:10:24.02\00:10:25.82
but here's the key point,
00:10:25.85\00:10:27.19
the Millerite disappointment
led them to realize
00:10:27.22\00:10:29.86
that the sanctuary that
was going to be cleansed
00:10:29.89\00:10:32.53
in Daniel 8:14 was not
the earth as they had thought
00:10:32.56\00:10:35.50
and Jesus coming to
cleanse the earth with fire.
00:10:35.53\00:10:38.53
The sanctuary... as
they went back to investigate
00:10:38.57\00:10:41.50
was in heaven.
00:10:41.54\00:10:43.41
They discovered
the heavenly sanctuary
00:10:43.44\00:10:45.54
and what they discovered
there in the heavenly sanctuary
00:10:45.57\00:10:48.18
was the mediation of
Christ and the Law of God.
00:10:48.21\00:10:50.88
The things that
had been attacked
00:10:50.91\00:10:52.48
by the Little Horn in Daniel 7
00:10:52.51\00:10:53.95
and the Little Horn in Daniel 8
00:10:53.98\00:10:55.35
and so, when it says
there in Daniel chapter 12...
00:10:55.38\00:10:58.52
Unto 1260
days... and then 1290...
00:10:58.55\00:11:02.26
and 1335...
00:11:02.29\00:11:03.63
those extra dates
are taking us past 1798
00:11:03.66\00:11:08.13
all the way to 1843 and 1844.
00:11:08.16\00:11:09.96
Let me explain how that works.
00:11:10.00\00:11:11.80
In Daniel we've learned
00:11:11.83\00:11:14.37
that the Papal Power is a Civil
Power and a Religious Power.
00:11:14.40\00:11:19.47
The 1260 is a time-frame of
the Civil Power... 538 to 1798.
00:11:19.51\00:11:24.51
That's where we see the
Civil Power of the Papacy
00:11:24.55\00:11:27.55
rise and end.
00:11:27.58\00:11:29.12
The 508... or, excuse
me... the 1290 and the 1335
00:11:29.15\00:11:33.72
are time
prophecies relating to the
00:11:33.76\00:11:36.39
Religious Power of the Papacy.
00:11:36.42\00:11:38.39
They begin in 508...
00:11:38.43\00:11:40.46
with the decree that the
Pope was judge of all men
00:11:40.50\00:11:42.63
who could be judged by no man.
00:11:42.66\00:11:44.03
That decree began the work
of priestly mediation by men...
00:11:44.07\00:11:50.11
by the Pope and Priest
00:11:50.14\00:11:51.97
which obscured the
administration of Christ
00:11:52.01\00:11:54.24
in the heavenly sanctuary.
00:11:54.28\00:11:55.61
Now, I was raised a Catholic.
00:11:55.64\00:11:56.98
I went to church every week,
I went to Catholic school...
00:11:57.01\00:11:58.88
I went to
Confession every week...
00:11:58.91\00:12:00.88
I confessed my sins to a priest
00:12:00.92\00:12:02.78
and I never got relief from my
guilt... not through the gospel
00:12:02.82\00:12:06.96
because I didn't
understand the gospel.
00:12:06.99\00:12:08.79
I was 18... I
was 19... I was 20...
00:12:08.82\00:12:10.63
I was still going to a priest
00:12:10.66\00:12:11.99
but when I accepted
Christ as my personal Savior,
00:12:12.03\00:12:15.80
I accepted that Christ
was in the heavenly sanctuary.
00:12:15.86\00:12:17.97
What the Millerites went through
00:12:18.03\00:12:19.77
and how they discovered
00:12:19.80\00:12:21.14
or re-discovered
the heavenly sanctuary
00:12:21.17\00:12:23.41
caused me to be
liberated from my sins.
00:12:23.44\00:12:25.71
It's caused millions of people
to be liberated from their sins,
00:12:25.74\00:12:28.81
you see, they went
through this disappointment
00:12:28.84\00:12:31.05
but led them to the sanctuary
00:12:31.08\00:12:32.41
and that sanctuary truth became
part of the Advent Movement
00:12:32.45\00:12:34.98
and that Advent Movement
knocked on my door one day...
00:12:35.02\00:12:37.69
that Advent Movement
00:12:37.72\00:12:39.05
opened my heart to the
mediation of Jesus Christ.
00:12:39.09\00:12:41.42
"Then shall the
sanctuary be cleansed... "
00:12:41.46\00:12:43.32
became my reality.
00:12:43.36\00:12:44.69
The sanctuary was made right
00:12:44.73\00:12:46.70
and now that I see the sanctuary
and I understand the sanctuary,
00:12:46.73\00:12:49.43
I understand that we
are in the Day of Atonement.
00:12:49.46\00:12:51.07
I understand that in 1844,
00:12:51.10\00:12:53.27
Jesus went from the Holy
Place to the Most Holy Place.
00:12:53.34\00:12:56.40
All of that fits together
like a jigsaw puzzle in my brain
00:12:56.44\00:12:59.47
and I realize what it
says here in Daniel chapter 12
00:12:59.51\00:13:03.45
that in the end of time,
00:13:03.48\00:13:05.15
this is what he's told in
verse 9... verses 9 and 10
00:13:05.18\00:13:09.05
"And he said,
'Go thy way Daniel:
00:13:09.08\00:13:11.42
for the words are closed up and
sealed till the time of the end.
00:13:11.45\00:13:13.76
Many shall be purified,
and made white, and tried... '"
00:13:13.82\00:13:17.19
When I accepted Christ, I
got purified and made white
00:13:17.23\00:13:20.56
and tried...
00:13:20.60\00:13:21.93
it was a great trial to
receive the Sabbath truth
00:13:21.96\00:13:23.97
and to follow the Lord
00:13:24.00\00:13:25.33
because I lost
friends... I lost family...
00:13:25.37\00:13:26.77
and the wicked shall do wickedly
00:13:26.80\00:13:28.94
but none of the
wicked shall understand
00:13:28.97\00:13:30.64
but the wise shall
understand. Jason: Hmmm...
00:13:30.67\00:13:32.37
So, the prophetic time
prophecy here is talking about
00:13:32.41\00:13:35.68
the time when the "Daily"
00:13:35.71\00:13:38.28
the focus of Christ
was taken away... 508...
00:13:38.31\00:13:40.82
from 508 to 1798 is 1290
prophetic days or literal years
00:13:40.85\00:13:48.59
but notice it says,
00:13:48.62\00:13:49.96
"Blessed is he that
comes to the 1335... "
00:13:49.99\00:13:52.09
because even though the
Papacy received the deadly wound
00:13:52.13\00:13:55.30
in 1798, the
sanctuary wasn't discovered yet.
00:13:55.33\00:13:59.20
it wasn't till
1843... the Millerite Movement
00:13:59.23\00:14:03.07
made their first prediction
which led to the 1844 prediction
00:14:03.10\00:14:05.97
which led to the disappointment
which led to the sanctuary.
00:14:06.01\00:14:08.81
You see that?
Yvonne: Okay, yeah... okay.
00:14:08.84\00:14:10.45
James: So, the religious
obscuring by the Papacy
00:14:10.48\00:14:13.98
of the sanctuary gives
us two time prophecies.
00:14:14.02\00:14:17.69
One leads to the end
of Papal dominance in 1798
00:14:17.72\00:14:20.82
but the other leads to
the Millerite Disappointment
00:14:20.86\00:14:23.93
in 1843 and 1844.
00:14:23.96\00:14:25.79
"Blessed is he that
comes to the 1335... "
00:14:25.83\00:14:27.76
that's why it says
that. Yvonne: Wow...
00:14:27.80\00:14:30.03
James: Because it's
not until 1843 and 1844
00:14:30.07\00:14:32.23
that we received the
blessing of realizing
00:14:32.30\00:14:34.40
that the sanctuary is in heaven
and we have a Mediator there.
00:14:34.44\00:14:36.07
Jason: Hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:14:36.10\00:14:37.44
James: Till the
sanctuary truth is recovered
00:14:37.47\00:14:38.94
and the Day of
Atonement is discovered
00:14:38.97\00:14:41.28
and the cleansing of
the sanctuary can take place
00:14:41.34\00:14:44.08
in earnest... and Christ
can go to the final phase
00:14:44.11\00:14:46.82
of closing out
this earth's history.
00:14:46.88\00:14:48.38
Yvonne: Wow! James:
Does that make sense?
00:14:48.42\00:14:49.75
Yvonne: It does... wow!
00:14:49.78\00:14:51.25
James: This is how
the book of Daniel ends.
00:14:51.32\00:14:53.25
It directs us... and Daniel...
00:14:53.29\00:14:54.99
"Daniel, you're
going to stand in your lot
00:14:55.02\00:14:56.39
at the end of the days. "
00:14:56.42\00:14:57.76
You're going to
stand in your lot because
00:14:57.79\00:14:59.13
Daniel himself is
going to be judged
00:14:59.16\00:15:01.46
in this Investigative Judgment.
00:15:01.50\00:15:02.83
It starts with the dead
and then it goes to the living
00:15:02.86\00:15:04.60
and he's going to
be found righteous
00:15:04.63\00:15:06.57
because he trusted in the
righteousness of Jesus Christ.
00:15:06.60\00:15:08.40
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:15:08.44\00:15:09.77
James: And
every single person...
00:15:09.80\00:15:11.14
see, a lot of people are scared
of the Investigative Judgment.
00:15:11.17\00:15:13.24
There's nothing to be scared of
in the Investigative Judgment.
00:15:13.27\00:15:15.71
It takes place
before Probation closes
00:15:15.74\00:15:18.21
because we need a Mediator
in the Investigative Judgment
00:15:18.25\00:15:22.22
and we have
one... Jesus Christ...
00:15:22.25\00:15:23.89
and everything
that's brought up...
00:15:23.92\00:15:25.49
everything
that's recorded there...
00:15:25.52\00:15:27.02
every accusation that
Satan brings against us...
00:15:27.06\00:15:29.62
because he's the
Accuser in Revelation 12:10...
00:15:29.66\00:15:31.73
the Accuser...
00:15:31.76\00:15:33.09
he accuses us
before God day and night...
00:15:33.13\00:15:35.03
every... all of it is
going to be vanquished
00:15:35.06\00:15:36.90
by our Mediator... as long
as we put our trust in Him.
00:15:36.97\00:15:39.90
If we put our
trust in ourselves...
00:15:39.93\00:15:41.27
if we put our
trust in our works...
00:15:41.30\00:15:42.64
if we say, well,
you know, "Lord, Lord,
00:15:42.67\00:15:44.01
I've done many
wonderful works in Your name
00:15:44.04\00:15:45.41
and I've cast out
devils in Your name
00:15:45.44\00:15:47.04
and I've done
all... " then we're lost.
00:15:47.08\00:15:48.64
Yvonne: Right.
James: We are lost
00:15:48.68\00:15:50.01
but if we put
our trust in Jesus...
00:15:50.05\00:15:51.38
if we are accepting
Christ as our righteousness,
00:15:51.41\00:15:54.38
then, our adversary...
00:15:54.42\00:15:56.92
our enemy will be
vanquished by Jesus.
00:15:56.95\00:15:59.75
In Zechariah chapter 3 it has
a picture where the Lord says,
00:15:59.79\00:16:03.16
"The Lord rebuke you
Satan; even the Lord...
00:16:03.19\00:16:05.09
isn't this a firebrand
plucked out of the fire?"
00:16:05.13\00:16:06.49
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:16:06.53\00:16:07.86
James: That's our
experience by faith
00:16:07.90\00:16:10.50
as we enter into the sanctuary,
into this Day of Atonement...
00:16:10.53\00:16:14.00
this day of cleansing...
00:16:14.04\00:16:15.37
trusting in our
Mediator, Jesus Christ.
00:16:15.40\00:16:17.14
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:16:17.17\00:16:18.77
James: Beautiful
picture, isn't it?
00:16:18.81\00:16:20.14
Ivor: Yeah, I think it's... yeah
00:16:20.18\00:16:21.74
and I think what... we're
in the last chapter of Daniel
00:16:21.78\00:16:24.71
and there's... some of
that I hope that everyone sees
00:16:24.75\00:16:28.45
as we have gone
through these two books...
00:16:28.48\00:16:30.99
Revelation... Daniel...
00:16:31.02\00:16:32.35
the storyline in
both books are consistent.
00:16:32.39\00:16:38.09
James: Amen.
00:16:38.13\00:16:39.79
Ivor: Right, there's a
consistent storyline...
00:16:39.86\00:16:42.30
we've just seen Daniel...
00:16:42.33\00:16:44.17
from Daniel 1 all
the way up to Daniel 12,
00:16:44.20\00:16:46.74
it's... it's not...
00:16:46.77\00:16:48.10
Daniel 1 is
talking about this thing
00:16:48.14\00:16:50.54
and Daniel 5
will be talking about,
00:16:50.57\00:16:52.91
you know, this
time period or that...
00:16:52.94\00:16:55.28
everything is following a...
00:16:55.31\00:16:57.31
a single theme of the
great controversy, right,
00:16:57.35\00:17:01.92
I always like to say that
truth is a beautiful system
00:17:01.95\00:17:06.19
and it makes sense
00:17:06.22\00:17:08.26
and I tell you,
I've looked at, you know,
00:17:08.29\00:17:11.43
different interpretations
of the book of Revelation
00:17:11.46\00:17:14.93
and of Daniel and
it's all over the place.
00:17:14.96\00:17:17.53
James: Hmmm... Ivor: Right...
00:17:17.57\00:17:19.03
nothing is... this means this
00:17:19.07\00:17:20.44
and this is talking
about that nation over there
00:17:20.47\00:17:22.20
and this is
talking about that country
00:17:22.24\00:17:24.17
and this deal that
happened in 1555...
00:17:24.21\00:17:26.07
and it's just kind
of all over the place
00:17:26.11\00:17:27.88
with no theme through it,
00:17:27.94\00:17:29.31
what we have just done
with the book of Daniel
00:17:29.34\00:17:31.38
is shown how
consistent God is...
00:17:31.41\00:17:34.75
shown how consistent truth is
00:17:34.78\00:17:38.02
and as you follow that theme
through the book of Daniel,
00:17:38.05\00:17:41.39
you know you're
on the right track
00:17:41.42\00:17:43.73
because truth
is not coincidence.
00:17:43.79\00:17:46.06
James: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:17:46.09\00:17:47.43
Ivor: Right, all of these
numbers and all of these dates
00:17:47.46\00:17:49.63
you know, you might
be like 1290 and 1335 and
00:17:49.66\00:17:53.10
I can't remember
all those numbers
00:17:53.13\00:17:54.50
but if you can remember...
00:17:54.54\00:17:55.87
I mean, that's
going to take study
00:17:55.90\00:17:57.24
you've got to go over
this again and again and again
00:17:57.27\00:17:59.84
until it becomes like,
you know, second nature to you
00:17:59.87\00:18:02.88
but... if you have seen like,
00:18:02.91\00:18:05.91
all right, it's
not a coincidence
00:18:05.95\00:18:08.22
that we keep
coming to these numbers,
00:18:08.25\00:18:10.42
you know, 1798 and
1844 and the Little Horn
00:18:10.49\00:18:15.09
and the changing
of the Law of God,
00:18:15.12\00:18:17.33
we have been consistent in theme
00:18:17.36\00:18:19.49
throughout our
entire Revelation Series
00:18:19.53\00:18:23.06
and now our entire
Daniel Series and...
00:18:23.10\00:18:26.57
and this, again, I
think... is the power of truth.
00:18:26.60\00:18:30.24
James: Amen.
Yvonne: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:18:30.27\00:18:31.61
Ivor: Right? That...
that I hope our audience,
00:18:31.67\00:18:35.14
as you're viewing will see
this consistent theme of truth
00:18:35.18\00:18:36.91
will see this
consistent theme of truth
00:18:36.95\00:18:39.41
throughout these presentations.
00:18:39.45\00:18:41.12
James: Okay, now,
remember there's two verses
00:18:41.15\00:18:43.45
that we left behind.
00:18:43.49\00:18:44.82
Ivor: No, no, no, no, no...
00:18:44.85\00:18:46.19
I know... that was just
my... let's... let's get to it.
00:18:46.22\00:18:49.26
James: Let's get to it.
00:18:49.32\00:18:50.66
Ivor: But I just had
to drop that in there.
00:18:50.69\00:18:52.09
James: Amen, there's two
verses that we left behind
00:18:52.13\00:18:54.20
and we want to look at
those two verses right now,
00:18:54.23\00:18:56.23
those are the last two verses of
the vision of Daniel 11 and 12
00:18:56.26\00:19:00.44
and they are Daniel
chapter 12 verses 2 and 3.
00:19:00.50\00:19:04.74
So, look at these verses
00:19:04.77\00:19:06.31
because we want to
close out with these verses,
00:19:06.34\00:19:08.24
these verses are powerful.
00:19:08.28\00:19:09.84
There's two points here that
are really important for us.
00:19:09.88\00:19:13.55
The first one in verse 2,
Jason, can you read that for us,
00:19:13.58\00:19:17.42
Daniel 12 verse 2?
00:19:17.45\00:19:18.79
Jason: "And many of those who
sleep in the dust of the earth
00:19:18.82\00:19:21.76
shall awake, some
to everlasting life,
00:19:21.82\00:19:24.76
some to shame and
everlasting contempt. "
00:19:24.79\00:19:27.66
James: Okay, this is
talking about the resurrection.
00:19:27.70\00:19:29.93
Yvonne: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:19:29.96\00:19:31.30
James: It's talking about
the resurrection of the just
00:19:31.33\00:19:32.67
and of the unjust and...
00:19:32.70\00:19:34.04
and even might imply
the Special Resurrection
00:19:34.07\00:19:35.94
that we talked
about in Revelation 1:7
00:19:35.97\00:19:37.71
but there's something
here that's really significant
00:19:37.77\00:19:40.84
and that's the word "awake".
00:19:40.88\00:19:42.64
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:19:42.68\00:19:44.51
James: When you awake, it
implies that you are asleep.
00:19:44.58\00:19:48.22
See, God has turned death into
a sleep for those who believe.
00:19:48.28\00:19:52.99
That's why Jesus
says in John chapter 11,
00:19:53.02\00:19:55.42
"Whoever believes in
Me shall never die... "
00:19:55.49\00:19:57.83
and then He asked the
question, "Do you believe that?"
00:19:57.86\00:20:01.46
Jason: Hmmm...
Yvonne: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:20:01.53\00:20:03.06
James: Do you believe
that? Yvonne: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:20:03.10\00:20:04.87
James: You may
sleep but you won't die
00:20:04.90\00:20:06.57
and this is really
important when we understand
00:20:06.60\00:20:09.74
where we're headed
before Jesus comes.
00:20:09.77\00:20:11.87
We're headed to a time
of trouble such as never was
00:20:11.91\00:20:14.31
and there's going to be a little
time of trouble before that...
00:20:14.34\00:20:16.41
there's going to
be persecution...
00:20:16.44\00:20:17.85
there's going to be
martyrdom before that.
00:20:17.88\00:20:19.21
Even now, we're
in a lot of trouble
00:20:19.25\00:20:21.85
and yet, death is a sleep.
00:20:21.88\00:20:25.65
Death is
something we awaken from.
00:20:25.69\00:20:28.02
Death has been completely
eradicated for the believer.
00:20:28.06\00:20:33.23
The sting has been removed.
00:20:33.26\00:20:34.93
Death is an enemy of God
00:20:34.96\00:20:36.60
and God has removed
it from us by faith...
00:20:36.63\00:20:39.47
that's the first thing.
00:20:39.50\00:20:40.84
Paul says... if
there's no resurrection,
00:20:40.87\00:20:42.57
we're... most
men most miserable.
00:20:42.60\00:20:43.97
Yvonne: Right.
00:20:44.01\00:20:45.34
James: He said... our
life... we live and breathe
00:20:45.37\00:20:47.38
because of the resurrection
00:20:47.41\00:20:48.74
because we have...
we have boldness...
00:20:48.78\00:20:50.48
we have
freedom... we have liberty...
00:20:50.51\00:20:52.25
we live the life that
is completely different
00:20:52.28\00:20:54.15
because we look
forward to that resurrection.
00:20:54.18\00:20:56.52
Then the second
verse we want to look at...
00:20:56.58\00:20:58.69
we want to close out with,
00:20:58.72\00:21:00.06
I think we want to
really emphasize something here.
00:21:00.09\00:21:01.62
Yvonne, could you read
that verse for us... verse 3?
00:21:01.66\00:21:03.53
Yvonne: Sure, "Those
who are wise shall shine
00:21:03.56\00:21:06.63
like the
brightness of the firmament,
00:21:06.66\00:21:08.96
and those who turn
many to righteousness
00:21:09.00\00:21:11.23
like the stars
forever and ever. "
00:21:11.30\00:21:13.03
James: Hmmm...
00:21:13.07\00:21:14.40
James: "Those who turn
many to righteousness... "
00:21:14.44\00:21:16.77
this is the last verse
of the prophetic visions
00:21:16.81\00:21:19.34
in the book of
Daniel. Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:21:19.37\00:21:21.14
James: Four through
13 is an explanation.
00:21:21.18\00:21:22.84
The very last verse
reminds us of one thing...
00:21:22.88\00:21:24.98
God is calling
us to shine for Him
00:21:25.01\00:21:27.75
and to turn many
to righteousness.
00:21:27.78\00:21:30.15
Yvonne: Yes.
00:21:30.19\00:21:31.52
James: And you know
what it means to turn people
00:21:31.55\00:21:32.89
to righteousness?
00:21:32.92\00:21:34.26
Jesus Christ is
our righteousness.
00:21:34.29\00:21:36.56
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:21:36.59\00:21:37.93
James:
Righteousness is right doing
00:21:37.96\00:21:39.29
and Jesus Christ is
the only One that lived
00:21:39.33\00:21:41.96
a perfect sinless
life... He never sinned
00:21:42.00\00:21:44.73
and that's what you need
to get through the judgment,
00:21:44.77\00:21:46.94
that's what you
need to be in heaven...
00:21:46.97\00:21:48.30
you need a
perfect, sinless life.
00:21:48.34\00:21:49.67
None of us have that
to offer but Jesus has it
00:21:49.70\00:21:52.37
and He gives it to us as a gift
00:21:52.41\00:21:53.74
and then, He died...
00:21:53.78\00:21:56.08
our penalty satisfied
substitutionary death...
00:21:56.14\00:21:59.51
He died in our place to
satisfy the consequences...
00:21:59.55\00:22:03.42
the penalty of transgressing
the law... which is death.
00:22:03.45\00:22:06.99
Yvonne: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:22:07.02\00:22:08.36
James: So, Jesus
lived this perfect life...
00:22:08.39\00:22:09.72
then He died our death
00:22:09.76\00:22:11.76
and therefore he
becomes our righteousness
00:22:11.79\00:22:15.30
and our job is to
turn people to Him...
00:22:15.33\00:22:18.80
not to turn people to ourself...
00:22:18.83\00:22:20.30
not to turn
people to other men...
00:22:20.34\00:22:21.80
to turn people to
Jesus. Yvonne: Right.
00:22:21.84\00:22:23.64
James: Those that turn
people to righteousness...
00:22:23.67\00:22:26.24
those that turn people to Jesus
00:22:26.27\00:22:28.31
will shine as the
stars forever and ever.
00:22:28.34\00:22:31.75
Jason: Hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:22:31.78\00:22:33.11
James: So, Daniel
closes out with this call...
00:22:33.15\00:22:35.02
this clarion call that is...
00:22:35.05\00:22:36.69
that is synonymous
with the everlasting gospel
00:22:36.72\00:22:39.32
in Revelation chapter 14...
00:22:39.35\00:22:40.76
the three angels'
message to all the world...
00:22:40.79\00:22:43.19
"Turn people to Jesus...
turn people to righteousness,
00:22:43.22\00:22:45.96
don't turn to the mediators...
00:22:45.99\00:22:47.33
don't turn unto traditions...
00:22:47.36\00:22:48.70
don't turn to the
human institutions...
00:22:48.73\00:22:50.07
turn people to Jesus...
00:22:50.10\00:22:51.43
don't turn unto the
abomination of desolation...
00:22:51.47\00:22:53.84
turn people to Jesus...
the Lord our righteousness. "
00:22:53.90\00:22:56.37
Isn't that a beautiful...
00:22:56.40\00:22:57.77
beautiful close of
this gospel message?
00:22:57.81\00:23:00.88
All: Amen.
00:23:00.91\00:23:02.24
Ivor: Yeah, I mean,
that time with Revelation 14
00:23:02.28\00:23:05.58
is... is powerful
because that is what...
00:23:05.61\00:23:10.32
this gospel shall be
preached in all the world...
00:23:10.35\00:23:16.32
and then the end shall come
00:23:16.36\00:23:19.36
and it's... it's
crucial to understand
00:23:19.39\00:23:23.00
that what has been...
00:23:23.03\00:23:24.37
what had been being
preached during the Dark Ages
00:23:24.40\00:23:26.60
was not this gospel.
00:23:26.63\00:23:28.20
James: Hmmm...
hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:23:28.24\00:23:29.80
Ivor: It was another gospel...
00:23:29.84\00:23:31.47
it was a counterfeit gospel
00:23:31.51\00:23:33.04
and, therefore, what
was going into the world
00:23:33.07\00:23:38.31
was something that was
getting people drunk, right,
00:23:38.35\00:23:42.25
something that was
turning people away from God...
00:23:42.28\00:23:45.92
away from truth...
00:23:45.95\00:23:47.29
James: And making them desolate.
00:23:47.32\00:23:48.69
Ivor: And making them desolate
00:23:48.72\00:23:50.16
and so, this process
of restoring the truth
00:23:50.19\00:23:53.43
of the sanctuary...
00:23:53.46\00:23:54.80
it restores the
truth of the gospel and...
00:23:54.83\00:23:59.03
and since 1844...
00:23:59.07\00:24:01.50
since the beginning of the
cleansing of the sanctuary...
00:24:01.57\00:24:03.54
the
unadulterated message of truth
00:24:03.57\00:24:05.87
has been going
into all the world.
00:24:05.91\00:24:08.21
This is what we're
doing right now, right,
00:24:08.24\00:24:10.01
right, what we have been sharing
is part of that unadulterated
00:24:10.05\00:24:13.92
message of
truth... the pure gospel.
00:24:13.95\00:24:18.45
When this gospel
goes into all the world,
00:24:18.49\00:24:22.49
then shall the end come
00:24:22.52\00:24:25.06
and so that's why
we do this Program...
00:24:25.09\00:24:27.46
that's why we're out
there preaching and teaching.
00:24:27.50\00:24:29.63
That's why millions
of others are out there
00:24:29.66\00:24:32.57
sharing this same message
00:24:32.63\00:24:33.97
because this is the
message that liberates people
00:24:34.00\00:24:38.21
and this is the message
00:24:38.24\00:24:39.64
that will usher in the
second coming of Jesus.
00:24:39.67\00:24:42.48
James: Amen... this gospel going
as a witness to all nations
00:24:42.51\00:24:45.31
and so, Daniel closes
out with the same theme
00:24:45.35\00:24:48.22
that Revelation closes out
with and it's the same theme
00:24:48.25\00:24:51.42
that we see in Matthew...
in Matthew 24 and Mark 13...
00:24:51.45\00:24:54.69
Luke 21 which, by the
way, are all end-time chapters
00:24:54.72\00:24:57.93
in the gospels.
00:24:57.96\00:24:59.29
John doesn't have
an end-time chapter
00:24:59.33\00:25:01.06
because John was...
00:25:01.10\00:25:02.43
was able or gifted to write
the whole book of Revelation
00:25:02.46\00:25:06.10
but all of it comes
together and let's remember
00:25:06.13\00:25:09.10
the Bible is the interpreter
of these prophetic books.
00:25:09.17\00:25:12.64
All we've been doing is,
00:25:12.67\00:25:14.11
we've been borrowing
from the rest of the Bible
00:25:14.14\00:25:16.11
to understand these prophetic
books... and there's more here,
00:25:16.14\00:25:18.65
we haven't covered it all...
00:25:18.68\00:25:20.02
we haven't gone
through all the details.
00:25:20.05\00:25:21.92
I was eager to go
through Daniel chapter 11
00:25:21.95\00:25:23.99
and parallel verses 40 to 12:3
00:25:24.02\00:25:26.39
with Revelation 13
and show how, yeah,
00:25:26.45\00:25:28.69
they both take place
at the time of the end
00:25:28.72\00:25:30.43
and in they both... there's
a deadly wound in both...
00:25:30.46\00:25:32.39
there's a healing of
the deadly wound in both
00:25:32.43\00:25:34.16
and there's
persecution preceding both
00:25:34.20\00:25:35.76
and there's a
persecution following both
00:25:35.80\00:25:37.53
and there's
economic control in both
00:25:37.57\00:25:39.23
and there's... you
know, all of the...
00:25:39.27\00:25:41.00
the... the deliverance in both
00:25:41.04\00:25:42.60
and God's people are
written in the book in both.
00:25:42.64\00:25:44.77
Revelation 13 says...
everyone follows the beast
00:25:44.81\00:25:47.31
except those whose names
are written in the Lamb...
00:25:47.34\00:25:49.28
in the book of the Lamb
00:25:49.31\00:25:50.65
slain from the
foundation of the world.
00:25:50.68\00:25:52.38
Now, I'm getting
excited but, you know...
00:25:52.41\00:25:55.48
All: Laughter.
Yvonne: You covered it.
00:25:55.52\00:25:56.99
James: There's so much
here... there's so much here
00:25:57.02\00:25:59.35
and God wants you... the
Viewers every single person
00:25:59.39\00:26:03.69
to have that
relationship with Him
00:26:03.73\00:26:05.06
to talk about Him
00:26:05.09\00:26:06.59
and find themselves
meditating upon Him.
00:26:06.63\00:26:09.43
I wake up in the
morning... I got to bed at night
00:26:09.46\00:26:11.20
and I'm just thinking
about these things, you know,
00:26:11.23\00:26:12.90
and I don't want anything
else obscuring those thoughts
00:26:12.93\00:26:15.60
and those
opportunities of meditation
00:26:15.67\00:26:17.47
where we're thinking
about spiritual truths
00:26:17.51\00:26:19.81
and God says, "I'm
going to remember that...
00:26:19.84\00:26:21.61
I'm going to remember that,
00:26:21.64\00:26:22.98
I'm going to remember that
00:26:23.01\00:26:24.35
your name is going to be written
and I'm going to deliver you"
00:26:24.38\00:26:26.95
because our deliverance is 100%
in Christ... zero percent in us.
00:26:26.98\00:26:30.25
Christ is the One
that empowers us...
00:26:30.29\00:26:32.15
Christ is the
One that takes away
00:26:32.19\00:26:34.09
all of the faults and failures
00:26:34.12\00:26:35.96
and helps us when we fall
upon our face to get back up...
00:26:35.99\00:26:39.79
remember Daniel, "I
have no goodness in me,
00:26:39.83\00:26:41.70
my comeliness was
turned into corruption...
00:26:41.73\00:26:43.57
I fell on my face
00:26:43.60\00:26:44.93
and He lifted me up on
my hands and my knees. "
00:26:44.97\00:26:46.57
Yvonne: Hmmm... Jason: Hmmm...
00:26:46.60\00:26:47.94
James: "And he
lifted me up on my feet
00:26:47.97\00:26:49.30
and I still felt overwhelmed,
I said, 'I can't talk... '
00:26:49.34\00:26:51.11
and He said, 'You
are greatly beloved...
00:26:51.14\00:26:52.77
you are greatly beloved...
00:26:52.84\00:26:54.18
I'm going to give
you a voice to talk. '"
00:26:54.21\00:26:55.61
You know, some of us think
we can't speak for Jesus...
00:26:55.64\00:26:57.55
we can't... you can
share your testimony...
00:26:57.58\00:26:59.91
you can share how God
has worked in your life.
00:26:59.95\00:27:02.58
You don't have to
know the 2300-day prophecy.
00:27:02.62\00:27:04.55
You don't have to be able
to go from Daniel chapter 12
00:27:04.59\00:27:07.09
to Revelation chapter 10 and
explain how it all fits together
00:27:07.12\00:27:09.62
well, they don't, you
guys do... they don't...
00:27:09.69\00:27:11.33
All: Laughter.
00:27:11.36\00:27:12.99
James: But you can
give a testimony...
00:27:13.03\00:27:15.16
you can share what
God has done in your life
00:27:15.20\00:27:16.73
and how you've been blessed.
00:27:16.77\00:27:18.17
You may not have all the
Scriptures that you can memorize
00:27:18.20\00:27:19.97
and throw out there
00:27:20.24\00:27:21.64
but you certainly have a
testimony that God has given you
00:27:21.70\00:27:25.17
of His favor in
your life... Yvonne: Yes.
00:27:25.21\00:27:26.68
James: Of the way He's worked
00:27:26.71\00:27:28.04
and brought you
comfort and hope.
00:27:28.08\00:27:29.41
Yvonne: Yes.
00:27:29.44\00:27:30.78
James: And that's what we want
all of our Viewers to... to have
00:27:30.81\00:27:32.65
and to share with
anyone and everyone
00:27:32.68\00:27:35.02
in their sphere of
influence so that...
00:27:35.05\00:27:37.32
so that indeed Jesus
Christ can be lifted up...
00:27:37.35\00:27:40.39
that we can be witnesses
for Him through all of the world
00:27:40.42\00:27:44.46
and that the end can come
00:27:44.49\00:27:46.13
and God can close up His work...
00:27:46.16\00:27:47.73
that we can find
ourselves cleansed...
00:27:47.76\00:27:49.73
we can find
ourselves in that Book
00:27:49.76\00:27:51.63
and we can find ourselves
standing on that Sea of Glass
00:27:51.67\00:27:54.17
on Mount Zion with the Lamb
following Him wherever He goes.
00:27:54.20\00:27:56.67
That's the
experience that we want to have.
00:27:56.71\00:27:58.24
Yvonne: Amen. James: Amen.
00:27:58.27\00:27:59.87
