BUT DANIEL'S PROPHECIES AREN'T 02:58 AS DIFFICULT, BECAUSE THEY ARE BROKEN UP WITH CHARACTER 03:03 STORIES. REVELATION GOES FROM ONE 03:07 PROPHETIC VISION TO THE NEXT, AND ONE SYMBOL TO ANOTHER. 03:13 AND I WANT US TO ORGANIZE THE BOOK SO WE KNOW WHERE WE ARE AS 03:17 WE'RE MOVING THROUGH THE PROPHECY. 03:20 >> I WAS TELLING JAMES A LITTLE EARLIER, I HAVE HEARD MANY 03:24 TEACHINGS ON REVELATION AND DANIEL, AND I STILL HAVE 03:27 QUESTIONS.

SO THIS OUTLINE THAT WE HAVE IS 04:42 A BASIC ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE BOOK, THE VERSES, THE 04:48 INTRODUCTION, THE PROLOGUE, THE CLOSE, THE EPILOGUE, AND THEN 04:52 WHERE EACH SECTION OF THE BOOK BEGINS AND ENDS. 04:55 AND WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO THE DETAILS OF WHY IT BEGINS AT A 05:00 CERTAIN PART AND ENDS AT A CERTAIN PART. 05:04 IT IS BROKEN UP INTO SECTIONS. AND THAT IS THE CHART ON THE 05:08 LEFT, AND ON THE RIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN OUTLINE 05:13 INTERPRETING REVELATIONS, AND WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT 05:16 THAT IN RELATION TO HIS -- HIS -- HISTORYISM. 05:31 >> VERY GOOD.

IN AUSTRALIA. 13:36 WE WERE THERE IN 1988, AND SANDRA SAG SPECIAL MUSIC FOR 13:41 MYSELF AND TY AS WE WENT AROUND DOING MEETINGS. 13:46 SO PRAISE THE LORD, AND THIS IS SO PROVIDENTIAL THAT SHE IS HERE 13:52 TONIGHT. >> WELL, YOU ARE GOING TO OPEN 13:55 UP FOR US PROPHETIC CYCLES, AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. 14:00 SO BRIAN AND I WANT TO TELL YOU GO FOR IT. 14:03 >> OKAY. LET'S START IN DANIEL, AND THEN 14:06 WE'LL GET TO OUR CHART IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION. 14:09 I'M JUST GOING TO EXPLAIN THE BOOK OF DANIEL, AND IT WILL HELP 14:14 US AS WE MOVE TO THE BOOK OF REVELATION. 14:16 THE BOOK OF DANIEL IS ORGANIZED INTO FOUR MAJOR PROPHETIC 14:23 VISIONS. THERE'S DANIEL 4, EVEN DANIEL 5 14:27 HAS A PROPHETIC VISION. BUT THE ONES THAT PARALLEL ARE 14:31 DANIEL 2, 7, 8, AND 11. THESE PARTICULAR VISIONS BEGIN 14:37 WITH BABYLON AND PERSIA AND TAKE US ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE NEW 14:42 HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH. I'M SAYING THAT DELIBERATELY. 14:45 BECAUSE MANY TIMES WHEN WE STUDY THE PROPHECY OF REVELATION, WE 14:50 STOP AT THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS. 14:53 AND VISIONS OF REVELATION AND DANIEL DO NOT STOP AT THE SECOND 14:58 COMING OF JESUS, THEY GO ALL THE WAY TO GOD'S KINGDOM BEING 15:03 ESTABLISHED. WE SEE THIS PRIMARILY IN DANIEL 15:06 2. DANIEL 2 IS LIKE THE ANCHR, THE 15:09 FOUNDATION OF THE REST OF THE VISIONS WE'RE GOING TO BE 15:12 LOOKING AT. DANIEL 2 BEGINS WITH THIS 15:15 STATUTE THAT HAS A HEAD OF GOAL, AND THAT'S BABYLON, IT GOES 15:20 THROUGH PERSIA, GREECE, ROME, AND THEN THERE IS THIS ROCK THAT 15:27 IS HEWN OUT OF THE MOUNTAIN. IT GRINDS IT TO POWDER, AND THIS 15:34 ROCK ROSE UP AND FILLS THE WHOLE EARTH. 15:37 THAT ROCK EVENTS CHRIST AND HIS KINGDOM. 15:40 THE NEW HEAVEN AND THE NEW EARTH. 15:43 IN DANIEL 2, WE HAVE A PROPHETIC VISION THAT BRINGS US FROM THE 15:47 HISTORY, HUMAN HISTORY OF BABYLON ALL THE WAY DOWN TO OUR 15:51 TIME, AND BEYOND OUR TIME, AND THE SECOND COMING, ALL THE WAY 15:55 DOWN PAST WHAT WE UNDERSTAND TO BE THE MILLENNIUM, AND THE 16:01 ESTABLISHMENT OF GOD'S KINGDOM ON THIS EARTH. 16:04 THAT IS THE SEQUENCE WE SEE IN DANIEL 2. 16:09 THEN YOU HAV DANIEL 3, AND THAT IS BASICALLY THE FIERY FURNACE 16:17 EXPERIENCE. IT'S AN EXPERIENCE IN THE LIVES 16:19 OF DAN YEELS FRIENDS. THEN GO TO DANIEL CHAPTER 4, AND 16:25 THAT'S ANOTHER EXPERIENCE OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR, AND A PROPHECY 16:30 THAT DEALT WITH HIM GOING CRAZY FOR SEVEN YEARS. 16:33 THESE ARE CHARACTER STORIES MORE THAN PROPHETIC VISIONS. 16:37 IT'S NOT UNTIL WE GET TO DANIEL 7 THAT WE HAVE ANOTHER PROPHETIC 16:42 VISION. IT BEGINS AGAIN WITH BABYLON. 16:45 THIS TIME BABYLON IS LIKENED TO A LION WITH EAGLE'S WINGS. 16:51 A LEOPARD, A BEAR, A TERRIBLE BEAST WITH A LITTLE HORN, AND 16:57 THEN THE SAINTS INHERIT THE KINGDOM. 17:00 AND YOU KNOW WHAT KINGDOM THAT IS? 17:02 THE KINGDOM OF THE NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH. 17:05 SO YOU HAVE THE SAME SEQUENCE AGAIN. 17:07 I HOPE I'M MAKING THIS REALLY SIMPLE. 17:10 YOU ARE GOING FROM BABYLON ALL THE WAY DOWN THROUGH THE 17:14 JUDGMENT, TO THE SECOND COMING, TO THE SETTING UP OF GOD'S 17:20 KINGDOM ON EARTH. THEN DANIEL 8 DOESN'T BEGIN WITH 17:25 BABYLON. AND THAT IS BECAUSE BY THE TIME 17:26 YOU GET TO DANIEL 8, BABYLON HAS VANISHED FROM THE SCENE. 17:32 IT IS NOW PERSIA THAT IS PROMINENT EARTHLY POWER. 17:36 IT BEGINS WITH PERSIA, GREECE, ROME, MOVES INTO THE LITTLE HORN 17:42 POWER, PAPAL ROME, AND RIGHT ON THROUGH TO THE TIME WHEN HE 17:47 SHALL BE BROKEN WITHOUT HAND. AND THAT BROKEN WITHOUT HAND 17:52 AGAIN, IS THE PRINCE OF HEAVEN, JESUS CHRIST, ESTABLISHING HIS 17:57 KINGDOM AND TAKING DOWN ALL OF THE KINGDOMS OF THIS EARTH. 18:00 YOU HAVE THE SAME SEQUENCE, TAKING US ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 18:09 SET UP OF GOD'S KINGDOM. THEN AN INTERRUPTION IN DANIEL 18:14 9, DANIEL 10, DANIEL BEING VISITED BY THE ANGEL, AND THEN 18:18 YOU HAVE DANIEL 11. AND THAT BEGINS OUR FOURTH AND 18:23 FINAL PROPHETIC VISION. IT BEGINS AGAIN WITH MEETA 18:29 PERSIA, THEN GREECE, ROME, THE PAPACY AND MOST OF THE LAST PART 18:34 OF DANIEL 11, I WOULD SAY EVEN TO CHAPTER 12 VERSES 1 AND 2, 18:46 INCORPORATE THE FINAL SCENES OF THE DARK AGES DOWN TO THE TIME 18:50 OF THE END, AND ALL THE WAY THROUGH UNTIL THE JUDGMENT, 18:55 MICHAEL STANDS UP, GOD'S PEOPLE ARE DELIVERED, AND THEN IT SAYS, 19:01 THE DUST ARRIVES, AND THEY SIGN THE AFFIRMENT FOREVER. 19:07 AND YOU HAVE GOD'S KINGDOM BEING SET UP AGAIN. 19:11 NEW HEAVEN, NEW EARTH. THAT IS THE SEQUENCE OF THE FOUR 19:15 MAJOR VISIONS OF THE BOOK OF DANIEL. 19:19 IT TAKES US THROUGH ALL OF THESE EARTHLY KINGDOMS, ALL THE WAY 19:24 THROUGH TO THE VERY END OF TIME, THE ESTABLISH OF THE KINGDOM ON 19:29 THIS EARTH FILLING THE WHOLE WORLD, AND JUDGMENT GIVEN, AND 19:34 THE SAINT'S INHERITING THE KINGDOM. 19:37 HAVE YOU GOT THAT SO FAR? PRETTY BASIC? 19:40 >> YEAH, VERY GOOD. >> SO WE'RE NOT GOING INTO THE 19:43 DETAILS OF THE BOOK OF DANIEL, WE'RE JUST GIVING A BASIC 19:49 OUTLINE DOWN TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NEW HEAVENS 19:52 AND NEW EARTH. THAT WILL EDUCATE US FOR THE 19:55 BOOK OF REVELATION BECAUSE THE BOOK OF REVELATION IS VERY 19:58 SIMILAR TO THE BOOK OF DANIEL IN A COUPLE OF WAYS. 20:02 NUMBER 1, IT HAS FOUR MAJOR PROPHETIC VISIONS. 20:06 NUMBER 2, EACH OF THOSE VISIONS BEGIN AT A CERTAIN PLACE, JUST 20:10 LIKE DANIEL'S DID, AND THEY END AT THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW 20:14 EARTH, AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO SHARE WITH OUR AUDIENCE 20:17 TODAY. THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO STUDY AS 20:19 WE GET INTO THE BOOK OF REVELATION. 20:22 WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH THE PROPHETIC CYCLES OF REVELATION. 20:26 THE REASON I CALL IT THAT IS BECAUSE I THOUGHT OF A GOOD 20:32 ILLUSTRATION, AND THAT IS A WASHING MACHINE. 20:34 A WASHING MACHINE HAS YOUR WHITE CYCLE, IT HAS YOUR COLOR CYCLE. 20:40 IT HAS YOUR SHORT CYCLE. IT HAS YOUR DELICATE CYCLE. 20:44 AND EACH CYCLE BEGINS AT A CERTAIN PLACE AND ENDS AT A 20:48 CERTAIN PLACE. BUT ADDS OR TAKES AWAY CERTAIN 20:53 EMPHASIS DEPENDING ON THE CLOTHES THAT ARE BEING WASHED. 20:58 THE PROPHETIC CYCLES OF REVELATION, BEGIN AT A CERTAIN 21:02 PLACE, AND END AT A CERTAIN PLACE, AND THEY GO THROUGH THE 21:06 CYCLE, YOU HAVE YOUR WASH, RINSE, SPIN, AND THE INTENSITY 21:12 OF THAT DEPENDS ON WHAT CYCLE YOU ARE ON. 21:15 THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS IS WRITTEN THE SAME WAY. 21:19 IT'S A PROPHETIC CYCLE FROM ONE POINT TO THE NEXT. 21:25 SO THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS BEGINS WITH A PROLOGUE OR 21:31 INTRODUCTION. REVELATION 1, 1 THROUGH 9 ON OUR 21:36 OUTLINE IS WHERE THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS IS INTRODUCED. 21:40 AND THEN IN VERSE 10 JOHN BEGINS TO GO INTO VISION. 21:47 SO JOHN NOW IS IN THE SPIRIT. IT'S THE LORD'S DAY. 21:50 YOU KNOW WHAT DAY THAT IS? ANYONE WANT TO GUESS? 21:54 >> THAT HAS TO BE THE SABBATH. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 21:59 REVELATION IS VERY CLEAR ON THIS, AS IS EXODUS CHAPTER 20. 22:05 AND JESUS SAYS IN MARK 2,:27, 28 THAT HE WAS ON THE SABBATH. 22:16 SO WHAT JOHN IS GOING TO WRITE AND SEE NOW IS NOT FROM HIS -IMAGINATION AND HIS MIND, THIS 22:23 IS THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE SAME HOLY SPIRIT THAT HAS INSPIRED 22:27 ALL OF THE BIBLE IS NOW INSPIRING JOHN. 22:30 AND WE KNOW THIS, BECAUSE THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS IS PRIMARILY 22:35 BASED ON THE REST OF THE BIBLE. THE REST OF THE BIBLE IS THE KEY 22:40 TO UNLOCKING REVELATION. THE KEYS, TERMINOLOGY, THE 22:44 IMAGERY IS BORROWED FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW TESTAMENT. 22:48 AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS BORROWED IS THIS IDEA OF THE 22:53 PROPHETIC CYCLES. FOUR PROPHETIC CYCLES JUST LIKE 22:57 THE BOOK OF DANIEL. THE FOUR PROPHETIC CYCLES IS 23:01 SOMETHING WE SEE IN OTHER PLACES TOO. 23:04 WHAT I MEAN BY CYCLES IS THIS IDEA OF REPEATING, AND THEN 23:08 GOING BACK AGAIN, AND REPEATING THE SAME SEQUENCE, AND GOING 23:12 BACK AND REPEATING THE SAME SEQUENCE, FOUR TIMES. 23:16 WE ALSO FIND THAT IN THE GOSPELS. 23:19 HOW MANY GOSPELS ARE THERE? >> MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, AND 23:24 JOHN. >> FOUR. 23:25 AND WHERE DO THEY START IN HISTORY? 23:28 THEY START WITH THE BIRTH OF JESUS, AND THEN THEY TAKE US 23:31 THROUGH THIS CYCLE THAT LEADS TO THE CRUCIFIXION AND RESURRECTION 23:42 OF JESUS. REVELATION DOES THE SAME THING. 23:45 IT STARTS AT A CERTAIN POINT AND ENDS AT A CERTAIN POINT. 23:48 AND IT STARTS WITH JESUS. JUST LIKE THE GOSPELS START WITH 23:54 JESUS. BOOK OF REVELATIONS STARTS WITH 23:58 JESUS. TO ME THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS IS 24:00 LIKE THE FIFTH GOSPEL OF THE BIBLE BECAUSE IT IS REALLY ALL 24:03 ABOUT CHRIST. THAT'S WHAT WE SEE IN REVELATION 24:07 1. IN VERSE 10, JOHN SAYS I TURNED 24:10 TO SEE THE VOICE THAT SPOKE WITH ME, AND AS I TURNED I SAW ONE 24:14 LIKE THE SON OF MAN. WHO IS THAT? 24:16 >> JESUS. >> JESUS. 24:20 SO THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS FIRST VISION STARTS WITH JESUS, AND 24:24 WE'RE GOING TO FIND THIS TO BE TRUE FOR EVERY VISION IN 24:29 REVELATION. FOUR OF THEM, THEY ARE ALL GOING 24:33 TO START WITH THE VISION OF CHRIST. 24:35 THEY ALL START WITH THE FOCUS ON JESUS IN THE APOSTOLIC AGE. 24:41 WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT? THAT IS THE AGE OF THE EARLY 24:45 CHURCH. IT IS THE AGE WHEN JESUS LIVED, 24:49 DIED, RESURRECTED AND THEN SENT HIS SPIRIT. 25:00 EVERY VISION BEGINS IN THAT AGE OF THE APOSTOLIC CHURCH. 25:05 SO THE FIRST VISION OF COURSE STARTS IN THE APOSTOLIC AGE, 25:09 BECAUSE IT STARTS WITH JOHN [ INAUDIBLE ] IN THE APOSTOLIC. 25:15 JESUS SAYS I HAVE A MESSAGE I WANT TO GIVE YOU JOHN. 25:20 I KNOW YOU ARE OLD. NOBODY REALLY CARES ABOUT YOU 25:23 ANYMORE. ALL OF THE CHURCHES ARE GOING IN 25:27 THEIR PROGRESSIVE WAYS, BUT I HAVE A MESSAGE I WANT TO GIVE 25:30 YOU THAT NEEDS TO GO TO THESE -pCHURCHES TO KEEP THEM STEADY FROM THE TIME THAT IS LEFT 25:35 BEFORE I RETURN A SECOND TIME AND SET UP MY KINGDOM. 25:39 AND JOHN IS JUST MAZED. WHEN HE SEES JESUS HE FALLS DOWN 25:45 AS THOUGH HE WERE DEAD. HE IS JUST OVERWHELMED. 25:48 AND JESUS TOUCHES HIM AND SAYS JOHN BE STRONG, LISTEN TO WHAT 25:53 THE SPIRIT SAYS. I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU THESE 25:57 POWERFUL MESSAGES. AND THE MESSAGES BEGIN WITH THE 26:01 SEVEN CHURCHES. THE FIRST PROPHETIC CYCLES, 26:06 WE'LL CALL IT THE WHITE CYCLE. THIS FIRST CYCLE, HOT WATER. 26:13 OKAY? WE NEED TO GET THE CHURCH CLEAN 26:16 BASICALLY IS WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE. 26:18 GOD WANTS TO GET THE CHURCH CLEAN. 26:24 1:10, ALL THE WAY THROUGH REVELATION CHAPTER 2:22 IS THE 26:33 FIRST PROPHETIC CYCLES. AS WE MOVE FROM JESUS'S TIME 26:38 FROM THE APOSTOLIC AGE, AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE CHURCHES, WE 26:45 MOVE FROM THE APOSTOLIC TO THE TIME OF JUDGMENT, THE LAST 26:49 CHURCH BEFORE JESUS RETURNS. BUT WHAT IS REALLY INTERESTING 26:52 IS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE CHURCHES ARE GIVEN PROMISES THAT 26:56 RELATE TO THE NEW HEAVEN AND THE NEW EARTH. 26:58 LOOK AT THIS WITH ME. THE FIRST CHURCH IN REVELATION 27:02 CHAPTER 2, YOU COME TO THE VERY END OF THIS CHURCH, IT'S VERSE 27:10 7, AND IT SAYS HE WHO HAVE AN EAR LET HIM HEAR, FOR HE WHO 27:18 COMES I WILL GIVE TO EAT FROM THE TREE OF GOD. 27:22 THAT'S NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH LANGUAGE. 27:25 WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT TREE OF LIFE. 27:28 >> YEAH. >> YES. 27:30 NOW LOOK AT THE NEXT CHURCH -- BRIAN IF YOU COULD 27:35 READ FOR US VERSE 11. >> OKAY. 27:38 HE WHO HAS AN EAR LET THEM HEAR, HE WHO OVERCOMES SHALL NOT BE 27:44 HURT BY THE SECOND DEATH. >> YOU KNOW WHEN THE SECOND 27:47 DEATH TAKES PLACE? >> AT THE END OF THE MILLENNIUM. 27:52 >> YES, WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THIS EARTH, AN ALL OF GOD'S 27:55 PEOPLE ARE INSIDE, AND THE WICKED COME, AND GOD BRINGS DOWN 27:59 FIRE AND DESTROYS THE WICKED. SO AGAIN, WE HAVE THIS PROMISE 28:07 TAKING US PAST THE SECOND COMING TO THE NEW HEAVEN AND THE NEW 28:11 EARTH. AND MOLLIE GOING TO THE NEXT 28:15 CHURCH WOULD YOU READ VERSE 17. >> HE WHO HAS AN EAR LET HIM 28:19 HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAYS TO THE CHURCHES TO HIM WHO OVERCOMES I 28:24 WILL GIVE SOME OF THE HIDDEN MANNA TO ATE, AND I WILL GIVE 28:29 HIM A WHITE STONE, AND WHAT IS WRITTEN NO ONE KNOWS EXCEPT HIM 28:34 WHO HE RECEIVES IT. >> THAT ALL RELATES TO THE NEW 28:38 HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH. LET'S GO TO THE LAST CHURCH. 28:44 REVELATION CHAPTER 3 AND VERSE 21. 28:47 BRIAN CAN YOU READ THAT FOR US. >> TO HIM WHO OVERCOMES, I WILL 28:51 GRANT TO SIT WITH ME ON MY THROWN AS I ALSO HAVE OVERCOME 28:57 AND SAT DOWN WITH MY FATHER ON HIS THROWN. 28:59 THAT'S THE NEW KINGDOM. >> NEW KINGDOM. 29:02 YOU SEE THAT? >> YEAH. 29:04 >> SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO FIND HERE IS THAT EVERY SINGLE 29:10 PROPHETIC CYCLES IN REVELATION BEGINS WITH THE APOSTOLIC AGE, 29:16 BEGINS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON CHRIST, AND ENDS WITH A NEW 29:21 HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH. THE SEVEN CHURCHES HAVE LAID THE 29:25 GROUND WORK FOR US. HE GIVES HIM THESE VISIONS, 29:29 WE'RE ON THE WHITE CYCLE, BECAUSE WE WANT TO GET THE 29:32 CHURCHES CLEAN. THERE IS LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT 29:34 INDICATES THAT. YOUR WHITE ROBES, ET CETERA, AND 29:37 THEN WE MOVE ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE END OF REVELATION CHAPTER 29:44 3, AND THE PROPHETIC CYCLE IS OVER. 29:48 NOW THE NEXT CYCLE BEGINS IN REVELATION 4:1, AND ENDS IN 29:56 REVELATION 8:1. AND THAT'S THE SEVEN SEALS. 29:59 THAT'S THE BEGINNING OF ANOTHER PROPHETIC CYCLE. 30:04 WHERE IS THE SECOND PROPHETIC CYCLE GOING TO BEGIN IN 30:10 REVELATIONS 4 AND 5 TELL US. IT INTRODUCES US TO THIS VISION 30:16 IN THE THROWN OF GOD. CHAPTER 4 THERE IS A THROWN SET 30:20 IN HEAVEN, THERE IS SOMEONE SITTING ON THE THROWN, AND WHO 30:25 HE SAT UPON IT IS LIKE A JASPER, THERE IS A RAINBOW AROUND THE 30:31 THROWN, THERE ARE ELDERS SITTING. 30:39 AND THEY ARE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE REDEEMED. 30:42 THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO WAS RESURRECTED WITH CHRIST. 30:47 AND THE REASON WE KNOW THAT -- THERE IS A NUMBER OF 30:51 REASONS, BUT ONE OF THE REASONS IS BECAUSE THE 24 EARLIES ARE IN 30:55 THE THROWN ROOM IN REVELATION CHAPTER 4. 30:58 A THROWN ROOM THAT HAS BEEN PICTURED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT IN 31:04 ISAIAH CHAPTER 6 THERE IS A THROWN ROOM. 31:09 BUT YOU KNOW WHAT IS MISSING? >> ELLERS. 31:12 >> THERE'S NO 24 ELDERS THERE. THERE'S THE SAR FIM, THE ANGELS, 31:23 GOD, THERE'S EVERYONE PRAISING, BUT THERE'S NO 24 ELDERS. 31:27 THE 24 ELDERS SHOW UP BECAUSE OF JESUS. 31:32 AND REVELATION CHAPTER 5 EXPLAIN WHY THE ELDERS ARE THERE, HOW 31:38 THEY GOT THERE. BECAUSE IT INTRODUCES US TO THE 31:42 LAND THAT WAS SLAIN. WHEN WAS JESUS SLAIN? 31:47 HE WAS SLAIN ON CALL VARY. SO THAT TAKES US BACK TO THE 31:54 APOSTOLIC AGE. JESUS WASN'T SLAIN WHEN JOHN WAS 31:57 WRITING THE BOOK OF REVELATION, BECAUSE THAT WAS QUITE A FEW 32:01 YEARS LATER. JESUS, SO JOHN IS BEING SHOWN A 32:04 VISION THAT GOES BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF THE APOSTOLIC AGE. 32:09 IN REVELATION 4 AND 5 WE HAVE THESE 24 ELLERS WHO WAS RAISED 32:15 WITH CHRIST WHEN HE WAS RESURRECTED. 32:17 THEY ARE THERE BECAUSE OF THE SLAIN LAMB. 32:22 THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN PRESENT IN ANY OF FLEFOUS VISIONS, BUT THEY 32:26 ARE NOW. THEY HAVE CROWNS OF GOLD, THAT 32:28 WAS PROMISED. THEY ARE SITTING ON THRONES. 32:31 THAT WAS PROMISED TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES WHO WERE OVERCOME. 32:36 SO THESE ELDERS ARE REPRESENTATIVE.-AND IN A SENSE, 12, AND 12, 24. 32:46 YOU HAVE A PERFECT NUMBER THERE. SO THERE IS A LOT OF SYMBOLISM 32:51 HERE. BUT THE POINT IS THIS, THIS 32:54 VISION OF THE SEVEN SEALS BEGINS IN THE SAME PLACE THAT TH SEVEN 32:59 CHURCHES BEGAN, IN THE APOSTOLIC AGE. 33:02 SO IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR OUTLINE HERE, WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO 33:05 FIND -- AND I'M LOOKING HERE UNDER THE CHURCHES AND THE 33:08 SEALS, IN THE CHURCHES WE HAVE THE INCLINATION OF CHRIST. 33:15 HE CAME TO THIS EARTH. ON THE SEALS WE HAVE AN EMPHASIS 33:20 ON THE CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST. EACH ONE OF THESE PROPHETIC 33:25 CYCLES BEGINS WITH JESUS. THE POINT I WANT TO MAKE ABOUT 33:29 THIS IS, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION 33:34 BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF SCARY IMAGES. 33:37 IT HAS BEASTS AND DRAGONS AND JUDGMENTS AND PLAGUES AND THE 33:42 MARK AND THE ANTICHRIST. BUT THE THING WE NEED TO 33:45 REMEMBER IS, EVERY VISION IN REVELATION BEGINS WITH JESUS 33:51 CHRIST. EVERY VISION IN REVELATION 33:53 BEGINS WITH THE SAVIOR, AND THE MESSAGE OF HOPE AND THE 33:58 EVER-LASTING GOSPEL. AND IT REMINDS ME OF THE HYMN, 34:04 ANYWHERE WITH JESUS I CAN -- ANYWHERE? 34:08 ANYWHERE. HERE I CANNOT KNOW. 34:12 AMEN. SO IF WE START WITH 34:13 CHRIST -- THAT'S WHAT REVELATION DOES, IT STARTS WITH CHRIST, 34:16 THEN WE CAN VENTURE IN TO THE [ INAUDIBLE ] BECAUSE WE'RE 34:21 BEGINNING WITH JESUS. THE BOOK OF REVELATION BEGINS 34:24 WITH CHRIST AND THE APOSTOLIC CHURCH. 34:26 YOU SEE THAT SO FAR? >> YES. 34:28 >> YES. >> WHAT IS THE DESTINY? 34:31 WHERE ARE WE HEADED TO? WHERE ARE WE HEADED WITH THE 34:38 SEVEN SEALS, SAME PLACE? >> YOU WOULD THINK SO. 34:41 >> ABSOLUTELY WE ARE GOING TO DEVELOP THE SAME PATTERN IN THE 34:45 SEVEN SEALS. BEFORE WE GO HERE, I WANT TO 34:48 NOTE ONE THING, AND THAT IS THAT THE APOSTOLIC AGE WAS 34:52 SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE OF THE OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 34:56 IN REVELATION CHAPTER 4, WE HAVE THIS PICTURE, IN 4:5 OF THE 35:04 SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD. COULD YOU READ THAT FOR US, 35:08 BRIAN. >> SURE. 35:09 AND FROM THE THROWN PROCEEDED LIGHTNING, THUNDERING, AND 35:14 VOICES, SEVEN LAMPS OF FIRE WERE BURNING BEFORE THE THROWN, WHICH 35:18 ARE THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD. >> I WANT YOU TO PICTURE THIS 35:22 JUST FOR A SECOND. WHEN JOHN FIRST SEES THE VISION 35:26 IN REVELATION 4, HE HAS SEEN THE THROWN ROOM AND THE 24 ELDERS. 35:32 THEN HE SEES THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD OR THE HOLY SPIRIT, SEVEN 35:38 SENTING PERFECT AND COMPLETE AND ALL-POWERFUL. 35:42 THEN IN REVELATION 5, THE SLAIN LAMB IS INTRODUCED. 35:47 JESUS SAID I'M GOING TO BE SLAIN, AND IF I GO TO HEAVEN, 35:52 WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? >> COME AGAIN. 35:55 >> YES. BUT WHEN I GO TO HEAVEN, I'M 35:59 GOING TO SEND YOU SOMETHING. >> THE HOLY SPIRIT. 36:02 >> THE HOLY SPIRIT. AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL BE WITH 36:06 YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE. MOLLIE READ 5:6. 36:13 >> AND I LOOKED AND BEHOLD IN THE MIDST OF THE THROWN AND AT 36:17 THE FOUR LIVING CREATURES, AND IN THE MIDST OF THE ELLERS STOOD 36:22 A LAMB, AS THOUGH IT HAD BEEN SLAIN, HAVING SEVEN 36:31 [ INAUDIBLE ]. >> DID YOU CATCH THAT? 36:34 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> REVELATION 5 WHEN THE LAMB IS 36:39 INTRODUCED, WHEN JESUS CHRIST GOES TO HEAVEN AND PRESENTS THE 36:45 SACRIFICE, [ INAUDIBLE ].-pTHIS ALSO CONFIRMS THIS IS THE APOSTOLIC AGE. 36:49 AND THE REASON THI IS IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THE 36:52 BOOK OF REVELATION AS WE INTERPRET IT TO BE DECIPHERED 36:57 THROUGH HISTORYISM, AND THAT SAYS THAT REVELATION'S PAST, 37:02 PRESENT AND FUTURE. THE PROPHETIC CYCLES BEGIN IN 37:06 THE PAST, TAKE US THROUGH THE PRESENT AND INTO THE FUTURE. 37:10 AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN REVELATIONS 4 AND 5. 37:15 THE SAME CYCLE IS REPEATED HERE. YOU HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT BEING 37:21 PRESENTED BEFORE TH THROWN AND JESUS PRESENTING HIS HANDS AND 37:25 FEET, THE SLAIN LAMB, AND THEN THE HOLY SPIRIT SENT OUT TO ALL 37:30 OF THE EARTH. THEN YOU HAVE THE UNSEALED BOOK, 37:33 AND THAT TAKES US THROUGH THE FOUR HORSES. 37:36 WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THE DETAILS OF THIS PROPHECY 37:40 RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE A NEW PROGRAM CALLED 37:44 SALVATION IN SYMBOLS AND SIGNS. AND IT'S A 30-MINUTE PROGRAM 37:48 THAT WE'RE DOING WITH YVONNE AND JASON. 37:52 >> WE'RE AIRING IT ON 3ABN ENGLISH AS WELL, SO MANY OF OUR 37:57 VIEWERS AND LISTENERS -- >> AND WE'RE DOING DARE TO DREAM 38:01 ENGLISH. >> YES. 38:02 >> THEY ARE BOTH ENGLISH. BUT IT IS BEING AIRED EVERY 38:06 SINGLE DAY. WE HAVE DONE 33 SO FAR. 38:09 WE HAVE GOTTEN TO ABOUT REVELATION 8, I BELIEVE. 38:12 AND THAT'S WHERE WE GET INTO THE DETAILS. 38:15 HERE WE'RE DOING A TWO-HOUR PRESENTATION. 38:19 WE'RE GOING TO TAKE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. 38:22 THERE'S NO WAY WE'LL GET INTO THE DETAILS. 38:25 BUT I'M HOPING OUR VIEWERS WILL SEND IN FOR THIS FREE OFFER AND 38:30 GET AN OUTLINE OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN THE BOOK OF 38:34 REVELATION. >> I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE 38:36 PEOPLE TO CALL AND GET THE OUTLINE. 38:38 IT'S THE FREE OFFER TONIGHT. BUT YOU SAID EARLIER, YOU WERE 38:42 TALKING ABOUT THIS, AND THEN GOING ON TO EXPLAIN, WHAT I ALSO 38:45 WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO IS CALL AND GET THIS PROGRAM. 38:48 IT IS SO SIMPLE TO DO. WHEN YOU CALL TO ORDER YOUR FREE 38:53 OFFER, TELL THEM YOU ALSO WANT THE PROGRAM. 38:56 I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THEY COST. I KNOW THEY ARE VERY 39:00 INEXPENSIVE, OUR PROGRAMS ARE, AND WE WOULD -- I BELIEVE THAT 39:04 YOU WOULD FIND IT TO BE SO EDUCATIONAL AND SO INFORMATIVE 39:08 TO BE ABLE TO WATCH THE PROGRAM OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND DO IT 39:11 ALONG WITH THE OUTLINE. >> THAT'S A GOOD IDEA, MOLLIE 39:15 AND MAYBE EVEN SHARE IT IN A CHURCH OR BIBLE STUDY SETTING, 39:19 WHERE YOU CAN HAVE INTERACTION WITH OTHER PEOPLE, AND DO SOME 39:24 BIBLE STUDY WITH YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS OR FRIENDS, AND 39:28 GIVE THEM THE OUTLINE OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION. 39:30 >> SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GET INTO DETAIL, YOU LOSE TRACK OF WHERE 39:37 YOU ARE. >> YES. 39:40 >> SO THIS IS -- I APPRECIATE THIS, DOING BROOD SWEEPS. 39:44 >> YES, GET THE BIG PICTURE. >> GET THE BIG PICTURE. 39:48 >> I LIKE TO LOOK DOWN AND SAY THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. 39:53 I DID THAT COMING INTO ST. LOUIS. 39:56 [ LAUGHTER ] >> SO WE'RE MOVING NOW THROUGH 39:59 HISTORY AGAIN IN REVELATIONS 4 AND 5. 40:02 WE HAVE THE FOUR HORSES IN CHAPTER 6. 40:06 THAT MOVES US DOWN TO THE LAST VERSES, WHICH ARE A DENOTATION 40:11 OF THE SECOND COMING, WHERE EVERYONE IS HIDING THEMSELVES IN 40:15 ROCKS IN THE MOUNTAINS, AND THEN THERE IS THIS PAUSE, AND IT GOES 40:19 BACK AND EXPLAINS THE CEILING OF GOD'S PEOPLE IN SYMBOLIC 40:27 LANGUAGE. AND JOHN SAID A GREAT MULTITUDE 40:31 WHICH NO MA [ INAUDIBLE ] AND THEY STOOD BEFORE THE THROWN AND 40:35 THE LAMB, AND DO YOU KNOW WHEN THIS IS TAKING PLACE? 40:39 THIS VISION BEING SHOWN RIGHT HERE IN IT'S TAKING PLACE IN THE 40:43 NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH. AND WE'RE GOING TO GO DOWN A 40:48 LITTLE BIT BRIAN. I THINK IT'S YOUR TURN TO 40:53 READ -- >> VERSE 10. 40:54 >> LET'S START WITH VERSE 13, 13, 14, 15, ALL OF THE LAST FIVE 41:01 VERSES. >> THEN ONE OF THE ELDERS 41:03 ANSWERED SAYING TO ME WHO ARE THOSE ARRAYED IN WHITE ROBES, 41:07 AND WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? AND I SAID TO HIM, SIR, YOU 41:10 KNOW. SO HE SAID TO ME, THESE ARE THE 41:14 ONES WHO COME OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION, AND WASH THEIR 41:18 ROBES AND MADE THEM WHITE IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, THEREFORE, 41:22 THEY ARE BEFORE THE THROWN OF GOD AND SERVE HIM DAY AND NIGHT 41:27 IN HIS TEMPLE, AND HE WHO SITS ON THE THROWN WILL DWELL AMONG 41:32 THEM. THAT'S THE NEW HEAVEN, NEW 41:34 EARTH. >> YES, YOU HAVE GOT IT. 41:36 KEEP READING. >> AND WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? 41:40 THEY CAME OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION. 41:43 THEY SHALL NEITHER HUNGER ANYMORE, FOR THRUST ANYMORE, THE 41:49 SUN SHALL NOT STRIKE THEM -- THIS SOUNDS LIKE SOME OF 41:52 THE PLAGUES. >> RIGHT. 41:55 >> OR ANY HEAT, FOR THE LAMB WHO IS IN THE MIDST OF THE THROWN 42:02 WILL SHEPPARD THEM, AND LEAD THEM TO LIVING WATER, AND WIPE 42:08 EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYE. >> DOESN'T THAT SOUND LIKE 42:11 REVELATION 21, AND 22? >> YES, IT DOES. 42:15 >> SO WE ENDED ANOTHER APOSTOLIC CYCLE. 42:20 IT TAKES US ALL THE WAY THROUGH HISTORY TO THE NEW HEAVEN AND 42:23 NEW EARTH. IT'S EASY TO UNDERSTAND THAT 42:26 RIGHT HERE, BECAUSE THIS CYCLE IS CALLED THE SEVEN SEALS, AND 42:30 THE SEVEN SEAL IS OPENED, AND THEN BOOM, WE'RE DONE. 42:37 BUT IT'S GOING TO BE HARDER FOR US TO IDENTIFY THE FOURTH 42:44 PROPHETIC CYCLES WHEN WE GET TO REVELATION CHAPTER 12 AND 42:48 ONWARD, THAT'S WHY SETTING OURSELVES UP NOW WITH THESE 42:52 PROPHETIC CYCLES, IDENTIFYING WHEN THEY BEGIN AND END WILL 42:57 HELP US WHEN WE GET TO THE FOURTH PROPHETIC CYCLE. 43:01 BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR THE SAME MARKERS. 43:05 AND THE MARKER THAT STARTS THE CYCLE IS NOT REPEATED ANYWHERE 43:11 ELSE IN HE CYCLE, AND THE MARKER THAT ENDS THE CYCLE IS 43:17 NOT ANYWHERE ELSE BUT THEN OF THE CYCLE. 43:19 AND I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE FOR YOU AND ME, AND WHEN 43:23 I WAS SHARING THIS IN MY CHURCHES, ONE OF HEL-- ELDERS SAID 43:34 TO ME, THIS MAKES THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS A LOT EASIER TO 43:38 UNDERSTAND. AND ALL OF THE MIDDLE OF THE 43:41 SANDWICH IS PART OF THIS ONE PROPHETIC CYCLE, SOMEWHERE IN 43:47 THE HISTORY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO OFF IN THE DIRECTION, BOOM, 43:50 YOU STOP, AND NOW WE START THE CYCLE AGAIN. 43:55 FOLLOWING ME SO FAR? >> YES. 43:56 >> YES. >> ALL RIGHT. 43:58 THE THIRD PROPHETIC CYCLE, A LITTLE BIT MORE CHALLENGING TO 44:02 BEGIN WITH, BUT NOT AS CHALLENGING AS OUR LAST ONE. 44:05 IT'S THE CYCLE OF THE SEVEN TRUMPETS. 44:09 HERE IS WHERE IT GETS A LITTLE TRICKY. 44:12 A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO BEGIN THIS THIRD CYCLE OR THE SEVEN 44:18 TRUMPETS OF REVELATION 8:1, BECAUSE OF THE CHAPTER DIVISION. 44:22 CHAPTER DIVISION IS NOT INSPIRED. 44:24 IT WAS ADDED LATER. THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS IS 44:29 DIVIDED BY TOPIC AND THIS EMPHASIS THAT WE'RE TALKING 44:32 ABOUT BEGINNING IN THE APOSTOLIC AGE. 44:35 THE CHAPTER DIVISION AT REVELATION 8:1, THAT VERSE 44:39 REALLY BELONGS TO THE 7TH SEAL CYCLE, BECAUSE IT'S THE 7TH 44:44 SEAL. AND WHEN THAT IS OPENED JESUS IS 44:48 RETURNING, AND THERE IS SILENCE. WHEN WE GET INTO 8:2, WE START 44:54 WITH THIS MUCH REPEATED PHRASE BY JOHN, AND I SAW, AND I SAW, 44:58 AND I SAW, I SAW SEVEN ANGELS WHICHED TOO BEFORE GOD, AND THEY 45:05 WERE GIVEN SEVEN TRUMPETS. AND ANOTHER ANGEL CAME AND STOOD 45:11 AT THE ALTER, HAVING A GOLDEN SENSOR, AND IT WAS GIVEN UNTO 45:17 HIM MUCH INCENSE THAT HE SHOULD OFFER IT WITH THE PRAYERS OF ALL 45:21 OF THE SAINTS UPON THE GOLDEN ALTER WHICH IS ON THE THROWN. 45:26 AND THE SMOKE OF THE INCENSE [ INAUDIBLE ] BEFORE GOD OUT OF 45:32 THE AN INGEELS HAND, AND THE ANGEL TOOK THE SENSOR, CAST IT 45:36 INTO THE EARTH, AND THERE WERE VOICES AND LIGHTNING, AND 45:40 THUNDER, AND EARTHQUAKE, AND THEN THE FIRST ANGEL SOUNDS, 45:45 SECOND ANGEL SOUNDS, THIRD ANGEL SOUNDS. 45:48 OKAY. WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A PRELUDE. 45:54 THOSE TRUMPETS REPRESENT ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT ARE COMING 45:58 ON THE EARTH. BEFORE THAT HAPPENS WE HAVE THIS 46:02 PRELUDE, THIS PICTURE OF THIS ANGEL AT AN ALTER, GETTING 46:06 INCENSE, AND THEN TAKING IT TO A GOLDEN ALTER, WHICH IS BEFORE 46:09 GOD, AND MINGLING THE INCENSE WITH PRAYERS, AND AS HE MINGLES 46:14 THE INCENSE WITH PRAYERS, HE TAKES FIRE FROM THE ALTER AND 46:19 CASTS IT INTO THE EARTH, AND THEN THERE'S VOICES, AND 46:22 LIGHTNING, AND THUNDER, AND EARTHQUAKES IN THE EARTH. 46:28 WHAT DOES THIS REPRESENT IN FIRST THING I WANT US TO LOOK AT 46:31 IS THE SANCTUARY. WE HAVE IDENTIFIED SANCTUARY 46:36 SYMBOLISM. IN REVELATION 5 WE NOTED THE 46:39 LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN. AND WHO DID HE SAY THAT WAS? 46:42 >> JESUS. >> JESUS. 46:44 >> BUT THE LAMB COMES RIGHT OUT OF THE OLD TESTAMENT. 46:48 THE LAMB WAS A SYMBOL OF JESUS, BECAUSE IT WAS THE ANIMAL THAT 46:53 WAS CHOSEN TO BE SACRIFICED FOR OUR SINS. 46:58 THAT'S WHY HE SAID BEHOLD THE GOD THAT TAKES AWAY THE SINS OF 47:02 THE WORLD. SO THAT UNLOCKS REVELATIONS 47:07 SEVEN TRUMPETS. IN THE BIBLE SANCTUARY THERE 47:10 WERE TWO ALTERS. AN ALTER IN THE COURTYARD, AND 47:14 THEN A GOLDEN ALTER, WHICH WAS IN THE HOLY PLACE. 47:19 THE FIRST ALTER IS SIMPLY CALLED THE ALTER. 47:24 IN REVELATION 8:3, ANOTHER ANGEL CAME AND STOOD AT THE ALTER, AND 47:29 WAS GIVEN A GOLDEN SENSOR, AND MUCH INCENSE. 47:35 WE KNOW THE GOLDEN ALTER WAS IN THE HOLY PLACE. 47:40 SO THIS IS TELLING US -- OR INFORMING US ABOUT WHAT JESUS IS 47:46 DOING AT HIS ASCENSION. HE IS GOING INTO THE HOLY PLACE 47:52 OR THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY. BUT WHAT IS HE -- WHAT IS IT 47:57 THAT HE IS MINISTERING THERE? ACCORDING TO THIS FIRST, HE IS 48:01 MINISTERING INCENSE FROM ANOTHER ALTER, AND HE IS MINGLING THAT 48:04 WITH THE PRAYERS OF GOD'S PEOPLE. 48:07 WELL, WHAT DOES THE INCENSE VENN? 48:13 WE KNOW IN REVELATION 5 INCENSE MEANS PRAYER. 48:16 BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE HERE. 48:21 IN EPHESIANS 5:2, WE'RE TOLD THAT INCENSE REPRESENTS THE 48:28 SACRIFICE OF JESUS. >> AND IT MIXES WITH THE 48:31 PRAYERS. >> YEAH, PERFECT. 48:32 >> YEAH. >> MANY TIMES IN REVELATION 48:35 SYMBOLS CAN BE IDENTIFIED IN DIFFERENT WAYS. 48:39 A DAY CAN EQUAL A YEAR, A 24-HOUR PERIOD, OR END OF TIME. 48:52 IN REVELATION 5 INCENSE REPRESENTS GOD PEOPLE, BUT IN 48:58 REVELATION 8 IT MAKES THE SACRIFICE. 49:01 THAT ALTER IN THE COURTYARD IS WHERE THE LAMB WAS SLAIN. 49:09 WELL, HEBREWS 13 TELLS US THAT JESUS WAS SLAIN AT THAT ALTER. 49:14 WE HAVE AN ALTER, AND THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE CHRIST WAS 49:22 SLAIN. SO THE ALTER IN THE COURTYARD 49:27 REPRESENTS CAVALRY. HE IS TAKING THE BLOOD, AND THE 49:32 SWEET SMELLING SAVOR INTO HEAVEN, AND MINGLING IT THERE 49:35 WITH THE PRAYERS OF HIS PEOPLE.-THAT'S WHAT IS TAKING PLACE IN THIS SYMBOL. 49:41 NOW WE KNOW THAT THIS IS APOSTOLIC AGE, BECAUSE THE 49:45 GOLDEN ALTER WAS IN THE HOLY PLACE, AND WHEN JESUS WENT TO 49:50 HEAVEN, HE WENT TO THE HOLY PLACE. 49:52 WE DIDN'T GO TO THE MOST HOLY PLACE UNTIL 1844. 49:59 THAT'S WHERE HE WENT WHEN HE FIRST WENT TO HEAVEN FOR THE 50:02 HOLY PLACE. IN THE HOLY PLAC HE HAS PRAYERS 50:06 COMING UP. NOW I WANT US TO GO BACK IN TIME 50:09 TO CHRIST DAY. I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE TIME 50:12 WHEN CHRIST WENT INTO THE HOLY PLACE IN HEAVEN, AND PROMISES 50:17 HIS DISCIPLES. THEY WERE GATHERED TOGETHER AND 50:21 THEY WERE TERRIFIED. THEY WERE IN THAT UPPER ROOM, 50:24 AND THEY WERE TERRIFIED. DO YOU REMEMBER THAT? 50:26 >> UH-HUH. >> AND THE DISCIPLES BEGAN TO DO 50:30 WHAT? WHAT DID THEY BEGIN TO DO 50:33 TOGETHER? >> PRAYER. 50:34 >> THEY BEGAN TO PRAY. >> YEAH. 50:38 >> AND WHAT DO YOU THINK THEIR PRAYERS ARE? 50:41 >> WELL, I THINK JESUS HAS PROMISED THEM A BLESSING THAT 50:46 WOULD COME THEIR WAY. >> SO THEY ARE PRAYING FOR THE 50:50 HOLY SPIRIT FOR SURE. WHAT ELSE DO YOU THINK? 50:53 THEY WERE IN ONE PLACE AND OF ONE ACCORD. 50:57 YOU KNOW HOW YOU GET TO BE OF ONE ACCORD WITH PEOPLE, CAN 51:01 FALLEN HUMAN BEINGS. >> YOU HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON. 51:05 YOU ARE UNITED. YOU ARE SEEKING ONE THING. 51:07 >> YES, AND YOU ARE HUMBLING YOURSELF AND CONFESSING YOUR 51:12 FAULTS TO EACH OTHER. ASKING FOR, FORGIVENESS. 51:18 PETER IS SAYING, I NEVER SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT. 51:22 PLEASE FORGIVE ME. AND THAT PRAYER GOES TO HEAVEN, 51:27 RIGHT? THEY START SAYING THESE PRAYERS 51:29 AND THESE PRAYERS ARE ASCENDING TO HEAVEN, AND JESUS IS MINGLING 51:34 THOSE PRAYERS WITH HIS SACRIFICE. 51:38 AND THEN JESUS TAKES FIRE OFF OF THE ALTER AND CASTS IT INTO THE 51:42 EARTH. YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THEY 51:46 WERE PRAYING FOR THE -- >> FIRE. 51:50 >> FIRE CAME DOWN UPON THEM. ALL OF HEAVEN WAS POURED OUT, 51:55 AND THEY HAD THESE CLOVEREN TONGUES. 51:58 MOLLIE READ FOR ME AGAIN REVELATION CHAPTER 8:5. 52:03 >> REVELATION 8:5. THEN THE ANGEL TOOK THE SENSOR 52:08 FILLED IT WITH FIRE FROM THE ALTER AND THREW IT TO THE EARTH, 52:13 AND THERE WAS NOISES, THUNDERINGS, LIGHTNING, AND 52:22 EARTHQUAKE. >> MY KING JAMES VERSE SAYS 52:24 VOICES. AND I WANT YOU TO GO BACK TO 52:30 CHAPTER 4:5. >> AND FROM THE THROWN PROCEEDED 52:35 LIGHTNINGS, THUNDERINGS AND VOICES, SEVEN LAMPS OF FIRE WERE 52:40 BURNING BEFORE THE THROWN, WHICH ARE THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD. 52:44 >> REVELATION 4, JOHN IS TAKEN INTO THE HEAVENLY PRESENCE OF 52:48 GOD'S THROWN ROOM, AND HE SAYS BEFORE THE THROWN -- OUT OF THE 52:52 THROWN PROCEEDINGS LIGHTNINGS AND THUNDERINGS AND VOICES AND 52:57 THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD. NOW REVELATION CHAPTER 8, THE 53:03 ANGEL CASTS FIRE INTO THE EARTH AND IN THE EARTH YOU HAVE VOICES 53:07 AND THUNDERINGS, AND LIGHTNINGS, AND AN EARTHQUAKE. 53:13 THE VERY SAME THINGS THAT WERE IN HEAVEN IN CHAPTER 4 ARE NOW 53:17 TAKING PLACE ON EARTH. IN OTHER WORS FIRE IS APPEARING 53:21 ON THE HEADS OF ALL OF THE DISCIPLES. 53:25 >> ACTS CHAPTER 2:2, AND SUDDENLY THERE CAME A SOUND FROM 53:29 HEAVEN. SO IT IS NOT QUIET, AS OF A 53:33 RUSHING MIGHTY WIND, AND IT FILLED THE WHOLE HOUSE WHERE 53:35 THEY WERE SITTING, AND IT APPEARED TO THEM DIVIDED TONGUES 53:40 OF FIRE, THEY WERE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND BEGAN 53:44 TO SPEAK -- >> VOICES. 53:45 >> -- WITH OTHER TONGUES AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE. 53:51 AND VERSE 6, AND WHEN THIS SOUND OCCURRED, THE MULTITUDES CAME 53:57 TOGETHER. SO IT WASN'T JUST A SOUND WITHIN 53:59 THE ROOM. >> RIGHT. 54:00 >> I MEAN THE WHOLE CITY GOT THE -- THE SOUND OF WHATEVER WAS 54:07 HAPPENING. AND WERE CON FUSED, BECAUSE 54:12 EVERYONE SPOKE IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE. 54:14 >> I WANT DO YOU READ ACTS CHAPTER 4:31. 54:19 >> WHEN THEY HAD PRAYED THE PLACE WHERE THEY WERE ASSEMBLED 54:25 TOGETHER WAS SHAKEN -- >> WAS WHAT? 54:27 >> SHAKEN. >> REMEMBER THE EARTHQUAKE? 54:30 >> AND THEY WERE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THEY SPOKE 54:35 WE WORD OF GOD WITH BOLD VOICES. >> THIS REVELATION CHAPTER 8, 54:40 WE'RE BEGINNING THE APOSTOLIC AGE. 54:43 CHRIST HAS TAKEN HIS GIFT TO HEAVEN. 54:46 THE DISCIPLES ARE PRAYING AND ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS, AND AS 54:51 THE PRAYERS COME UP, CHRIST MINGLES THEM WITHIN THE HOLY 54:57 PLACE, AND THEN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS POURED OUT OVER THE EARTH, 55:02 AND THE THUNDER, LIGHTNING, THAT WERE IN HEAVEN ARE NOW ON THE 55:08 EARTH. AND THE PLACE IS SHAKEN UP, AND 55:11 THE THUNDER AND LIGHTNING WHICH ALSO IS SYMBOLS. 55:16 THE ANGELS WERE THERE DELIVERING THEM FROM PRISON, AND LEADING 55:20 THEM TO DIFFERENT PLACES TO DO MINISTRY. 55:23 ALL OF THE POWER OF HEAVEN POURED OUT ON THE EARTH. 55:27 SO AGAIN, IN REVELATION CHAPTER 8, BEFORE WE TRUMPETS BEGIN TO 55:36 SOUND, WE HAVE OUR APOSTOLIC AGE. 55:38 AND WE STARTED WITH THE OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 55:44 DID WE START WITH THAT WITH THE SEALS? 55:48 YES. WITH THE CHURCHES? 55:50 IN A SENSE. REMEMBER EVERY SINGLE CHURCH 55:52 WHAT THE MESSAGE WAS, HE WHO HAS AN EAR LET HIM HEAR THE SPIRIT. 55:58 >> I'M THINKING HOW MUCH MORE WILL GOD GIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO 56:03 HIS CHILDREN IF THEY ASK? THIS IS FOR US TODAY. 56:06 THIS IS FOR US TODAY. AND OUR FIRST HOUR IS RAPIDLY 56:10 COMING TO A CLOSE. >> OKAY. 56:13 >> AND YOU ARE NOWHERE NEAR THROUGH WITH THIS, AND I JUST 56:17 WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU, CALL IN AND GET THE FREE OFFER, AND AS 56:22 WELL AS THIS TEACHING. GET -- GET THE DVD OR CD, 56:28 WHATEVER WILL WORK BEST FOR YOU, AND REMEMBER WE'RE TAKING 56:33 QUESTIONS, AND I KNOW BY NOW YOU HAVE GOT SO MANY QUESTIONS YOU 56:36 WANT TO ASK JAMES.
