00:12 ♪ >> WE SURE WELCOME YOU BACK.
00:18 AND BOY DID THAT FIRST HOUR FLY BY. 00:21 >> YEAH, BOY, WE HAD TO REALLY HANG ON TO OUR CHAIRS. 00:25 WE COVERED A LOT OF TERRITORY. >> AND WE HAVE GOT MORE 00:29 TERRITORY TO COVER. WE RECEIVED SOME QUESTIONS, BUT 00:32 JAMES HAS OTHER AREAS THAT HE NEEDS TO COVER BEFORE WE START 00:37 ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, CALL THEM 00:41 IN, EMAIL THEM IN, AND BY THE END OF THIS HOUR, WE WILL BE 00:44 ABLE TO ANSWER SEVERAL OF YOUR QUESTIONS, SO BE SURE AND DO 00:48 THAT, AND JAMES ONCE AGAIN, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU, JUST TAKE IT 00:52 AND RUN WITH IT. >> OKAY. 00:54 SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE NOTICED HERE AND I THINK IT'S 00:57 REALLY SIGNIFICANT IS EACH ONE OF THESE PROPHETIC CYCLES BEGINS 01:01 WITH THE APOSTOLIC AGE, AND PRIMARILY FOCUSES ON CHRIST. 01:04 WHEN JOHN FIRST SEES CHRIST, IT'S A REMINDER OF HIS 01:09 INCARNATION. HE SEES ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN. 01:12 THE SON OF MAN IS THE TITLE OF CHRIST BECOMING A HUMAN BEING. 01:19 AND THEN HE SEES CHRIST AS A LAMB WHO HAS BEEN SLAIN. 01:23 WHICH REMINDS US OF THE CRUCIFIXION. 01:27 AND THEN WHEN WE GO TO SEVEN TRUMPETS, THEN YOU HAVE AN 01:35 EMPHASIS ON MEDIATION. SO YOU HAVE GOT THE INCARNATION, 01:39 THE CRUCIFIX, AND THE MEDIATION OF JESUS. 01:43 AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? IT'S A THE GOSPEL. 01:46 >> PRAISE GOD. >> IT'S THE FOUNDATIONAL TRUTH 01:49 OF THE EVER-LASTING GOSPEL. UNIQUE PHRASE FOUND IN 01:55 REVELATION 14, IT DIDN'T JUT COME UP AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, 02:00 WE'RE IN REVELATION 14, TALKING ABOUT THE EVER-LASTING GOSPEL. 02:05 NO. IT'S A CAPSTONE OF THE WHOLE 02:07 BOOK OF REVELATIONS SO FAR. THEY HAVE ALL BEEN HIGHLIGHTING 02:15 THE EVER-LASTING GOSPEL. SO REVELATION 14 IS NO SURPRISE. 02:20 THE EVER-LASTING GOSPEL ISN'T SOMETHING THAT JUST APPEARED OUT 02:23 OF NOWHERE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ALL OF THESE 02:28 SYMBOLS AND BAD STUFF, AND THEN WE HAVE THE EVER-LASTING GOSPEL, 02:35 NO. IT THAT'S INCORONATION, CRUCIFIX 02:43 AND -- IN FACT THINK FIRST PROPHECY TAKES US ALL THE WAY 02:52 BACK TO GENESIS. YOU KNOW THE PROPHECY? 02:57 >> YEAH. >> READ THAT ONE FOR US, BRIAN. 03:00 AND THIS IS WHERE PROPHECY IS ESTABLISHED. 03:03 THIS IS WHERE PROPHECY IS SET UP. 03:05 >> YEAH, AND I'LL PUT 'EM THATTY BETWEEN YOU AND THE WOMAN. 03:11 HE IS SPEAKING TO THO THE SERPENT AT THIS POINT. 03:20 HE SHALL BRUISE YOUR HEAD, AND I THINK IT WAS PAUL USED THE WORD 03:24 CRUSH -- >> YES. 03:26 >> IN HERE IT SAYS BRUISE YOUR HEAD, AND YOU SHALL BRUISE HIS 03:32 HEEL. >> YES. 03:33 YOU SEE THIS FIRST -- THIS FIRST PROPHETIC DECLARATION INVOLVES 03:39 CHRIST AND THE SERPENT. YOU GET TO THE BOOK OF 03:47 REVELATIONS, CHRIST AND THE SERPENT. 03:49 AND IT'S ABOUT WHAT CHRIST IS GOING TO DO TO CRUSH THE 03:53 SERPENT, TO DESTROY SATAN, AND TO REESTABLISH HIS KINGDOM ON 03:58 PLANET EARTH. THAT'S WHAT PROPHECY IS ALL 04:01 ABOUT, FROM THE BEGINNING, THE BOOK OF GENESIS. 04:04 THE BOOK OF GENESIS INFORMS US OF OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE 04:11 PROCESS OF REVELATION. ALL RIGHT. 04:14 SHALL WE GET INTO OUR FOURTH PROPHETIC CYCLE? 04:19 >> OKAY. >> OH, WE HAVEN'T FINISHED OUR 04:22 THIRD ONE YET. SO WE STARTED THE THIR ONE 04:25 AT -- WITH THE PRELUDE TO THE SEVEN TRUMPETS THN WE MOVED 04:32 THROUGH THE TRUMPETS. 10 TALKS ABOUT THE LITTLE BOOK, 04:39 THE DISAPPOINTMENT, THE BITTERSWEET. 04:43 REVELATION 11 TALKS ABOUT THE TWO WITNESSES AND THE BEAST 04:46 COMING OUT OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT. 04:51 AND THEN LET'S START IN REVELATION 14, AND READ ALL THE 04:56 WAY THROUGH TO VERSE 18 -- EXCUSE ME, REVELATION 05:05 11:14-18. >> OKAY. 05:06 THE SECOND WOE IS PASSED. BEHOLD THE THIRD WOE IS COMING 05:12 QUICKLY. THEN THE SEVENTH ANGEL SOUNDED, 05:16 AND THERE WERE LOUD VOICES IN HEAVEN SAYING THE KINGDOM OF 05:19 THIS WORLD HAVE BECOME THE KINGDOM OF OUR WORLD, AND CHRIST 05:25 SHALL REIGN FOREVER AND FOREVER. >> WHERE HAVE WE GONE TO? 05:29 >> TO THE NEW EARTH. >> YEAH. 05:31 ALL RIGHT. LET'S KEEP GOING. 05:33 >> AND THE 24 ELDERS WHO SAT BEFORE GOD ON THEIR THRONES, 05:38 FELL ON THEIR FACES AND WORSHIPPED GOD SAYING WE GIVE 05:44 YOU THANKS OH LORD GOD ALL MIGHTY, YOU HAVE TAKEN YOUR 05:48 GREAT POWER AND REIGNED THE NATIONS WERE ANGRY, AND YOUR 05:52 WRATH HAS COME, AND THE TIME OF THE DEAD THAT THEY SHOULD BE 05:56 JUDGED, AND THAT YOU SHOULD REWARD YOUR SERVANTS, THE 06:00 PROFITS AND THE SAINTS, AND THOSE WHO FEAR YOUR NAME SMALL 06:05 AND GREAT, AND SHALL DESTROY THOSE WHO DESTROY THE EARTH. 06:09 >> OKAY. THIS VERSE HAS TAKEN US ALL THE 06:11 WAY TO THE END. THE REWARD, THE DESTRUCTION OF 06:15 THE WICKED, THROUGH THE THOUSAND YEARS TO THE NEW EVEN AND NEW 06:20 EARTH. SO WE FINISHED OUR THIRD 06:23 PROPHETIC CYCLE. WE STARTED IN THE APOSTOLIC AGE, 06:27 ALL THE WAY DOWN TO DESTROYING THOSE TWO DESTROY THE EARTH. 06:32 BOOM WE'RE FINISHED. AND NOW WE START OUR NEXT 06:39 PROPHETIC CYCLE. AND AGAIN, I'M NOT GETTING INTO 06:43 DETAILS, BUT OUR MAIN GOAL IS TO GIVE THE BASIC OUTLINE. 06:48 THE NEXT PROPHETIC CYCLE IS THE LONGEST. 06:51 WE HAVE DONE THREE PROPHETIC CYCLE IN 11 CHAPTERS. 06:54 WE HAVE 11 CHAPTERS LEFT. REVELATION CHAPTER 12 IS WHERE 06:58 IT BEGINS. AND THE REASON WHY IT IS SO 07:02 DIFFICULT TO SORT OUT AT LEAST THE SECOND HALF OF THE BOOK, 07:05 BECAUSE YOU WOULD THINK THERE WOULD BE AT LEAST TWO OR THREE 07:08 PROPHETIC CYCLE IN THE REST OF THE BOOK, BECAUSE YOU HAVE A 07:12 WHOLE HALF LEFT, BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE. 07:15 THE LAST HALF OF THE BOOK IS ONE PROPHETIC CYCLE. 07:18 AND I CALL IT THE CYCLE OF THE SEVEN BULLS, OR THE SEVEN 07:24 [ INAUDIBLE ] OR THE SEVEN PLAGUES. 07:26 SEVEN BULLS WHAT WE HAVE BIB LICKLY. 07:38 IT'S GOD'S ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN WHY HE IS ENDING EVERYTHING. 07:46 REVELATION 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, ALL ABOUT JUDGMENT. 07:52 12, 13, AND 14 BASICALLY SUMMARIZES WHY GOD IS JUDGING. 07:59 HE CAST SATAN OUT, BUT HE DIN'T DESTROY HIM. 08:03 WE'RE THINKING WHY? WHY? 08:07 AND THEN YOU HAVE THE SEA BEAT AND THE LAND BEAST, AND WHY? 08:11 COME ON, LET'S END THIS. AND THEN THE EVER-LASTING 08:16 GOSPEL, AND WE WANTS EVERYONE TO HAVE A CHANCE TO BE SAVED, AND 08:20 FINALLY HE IS GOING TO END IT. THIS LAST SECTION ABOUT ENDING 08:24 IT. AND HE IS NOT GOING TO BRING IT 08:27 TO AN END UNTIL THE EVER-LASTING GOSPEL IS GIVEN TO THE WHOLE 08:37 WORLD. >> MUCH OF THE GOSPELS DEAL WITH 08:40 THE REPRESENTS SURROUNDING THE CRUCI 08:48 CRUCIFIXION, SO THAT'S THE BIG EMPHASIS IN THE GOSPEL. 08:50 >> ESPECIALLY IN JOHN'S GOSPEL. >> YEAH, BUT HERE YOU ARE RUN 08:55 THROUGH HUMAN HISTORY FROM APOSTOLIC SOMETIME AND THEN ALL 09:01 OF A SUDDEN THE FOCUS IS THE BIG JUDGMENT TO COME. 09:03 >> YEAH, IT'S HUGE. IS GOD JUST? 09:07 WHY HASN'T GOD BEEN EXERCISING THIS JUDGMENT ON EVIL? 09:12 SATAN ALL THE WAY DOWN? WHY NOT? 09:15 REVELATION CHAPTERS 15 THROUGH 20 ARE THE ONES THAT ANSWER THAT 09:20 QUESTION. AND THEY BRING US -- AND -- AND 09:22 THE REASON WHY THIS IS SO SIGNIFICANT IS BECAUSE THEY 09:24 BRING US SUCH A PICTURE OF JUDGMENT THAT WE HAVE GOT TO BE 09:28 SURE AND UNDERSTAND GOD'S HARD AND GOD'S CHARACTER BEFORE ALL 09:32 OF THESE JUDGMENTS ARE LET LOSE. AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE IN 09:38 REVELATION AND IN 12, 13, AND 14, WE HAVE, IF YOU WILL, A 09:44 SUMMARY OF GOD'S POSITION TOWARDS EARTH OF THE WAY HE HAS 09:48 DEALT WITH SIN. YOU HAVE A SUMMARY OF REBELLION, 09:54 AND WHAT IT IS CAPABLEABLE OF. EVIL IS CAPABLE OF FORCING EVERY 10:01 SINGLE HUMAN BEING ON EARTH TO RECEIVE A SIGN, AND THEY WILL BE 10:07 KILLED. AND GOD IS SAYING I DESPISE 10:10 THAT. EVERYONE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO 10:13 SAY YES OR NO. AND I WILL JUDGE THAT. 10:15 I WILL JUDGE THAT KIND OF OPPRESSION AND JUDGE IT HARSHLY 10:19 BECAUSE THAT IS TOTALLY OUT OF HARMONY WITH THE WAY I CREATED 10:24 HUMAN BEINGS, AND WITH THE REALITY THAT I ALLOWED SIN AND 10:28 SUFFERING TO CONTINUE FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS WITHOUT 10:31 ENDING IT IN ORDER TO UPHOLD AND RECOGNIZE INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM AND 10:36 LIBERTY. SO REVELATION 12. 10:37 LET'S START AGAIN, WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR, IF WE'RE STARTING A 10:42 NEW PROPHETIC CYCLE. >> SOME TYPE OF APOSTOLIC OR 10:45 CHRIST TIME. >> YES, THE APOSTOLIC OR CHRIST 10:49 TIME. MOLLIE LET'S READ HERE -- MAYBE 10:52 IT'S BRIAN'S TURN TO READ. WHO WANTS TO READ. 10:56 >> I'LL TAKE IT. >> ALL RIGHT. 11:02 12:1-5. >> A GREAT SIGN APPEARED IN 11:04 HEAVEN A WOMAN WITH THE SUN AND THE MOON UNDER HER FEET AND ON 11:09 HER HEAD A GARLAND OF 12 STARS. AND BEING WITH CHILD SHE CRIED 11:16 OUT IN PAIN TO GIVE LABOR AND BIRTH. 11:19 >> WHO IS THE CHILD? >> JESUS. 11:22 >> YEAH. >> AND BEHOLD A GREAT FIERY RED 11:27 DRAGON, HAVING SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS AND SEVEN 11:32 [ INAUDIBLE ] ON HIS HEADS, AND HIS TAIL DREW A THIRD OF THE 11:36 STARS OF HEAVEN AND THROUGH THEM TO THE EARTH AND THE DRAGON 11:41 STOOD BEFORE THE WOMAN WHO WAS READY TO GIVE BIRTH TO DEVOUR 11:46 HER CHILD AS SOON AS IT WAS BORN. 11:48 >> WHEN DID THAT TAKE PLACE? >> IT'S SATAN WORKING THROUGH 11:52 HUMAN INSTRUMENTALITIES TO DESTROY THE CHILD. 11:56 >> YES, THAT'S WHY WE HAVE HIM WITH DIFFERENT MANIFESTATIONS, 12:02 AND WHEN CHRIST WAS BORN HE WORKED THROUGH HEROD. 12:05 HE TRIED TO DESTROY CHRIST. HE PROFESSED TO BE INTERESTED IN 12:10 THE BIRTH OF THIS MESSIAH, BUT REALLY HE WANTED TO KNOW WHERE 12:14 HE WAS, SO HE WOULD KILL THEM. AND THE ANGELS CAME AND WARNED 12:21 JOSEPH AND HARRY, AND HE SEND HIS SOLDIERS TO KILL ALL OF THE 12:25 CHILDREN THREE YEARS AND YOUNGER. 12:29 >> THIS DRAGON'S ATTACK, GOES BACK ALL THE WAY THROUGH 12:35 HISTORY. HE IS TRYING TO DESTROY ANY 12:39 LINAGE THAT THE CHILD MIGHT COME THROUGH. 12:42 SO ANYWAY, SHE BORE A MALE CHILD WHO WAS TO RULE ALL NATIONS WITH 12:47 THE ROD OF IRON. >> AH-HA. 12:50 >> SO THAT REALLY IDENTIFIES WHO THAT CHILD WAS. 12:52 >> YES. >> AND HER CHILD WAS CAUGHT UP 12:57 TO GOD AND TO HIS THROWN. >> THERE IT IS RIGHT THERE. 13:04 BEGINNING THIS LAST PROPHETIC CYCLE. 13:06 WE DON'T HAVE TO BE CONFUSED. OH, YES, AND THE SEVEN CHURCHES, 13:10 THE NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH, THEN WE STARTED AGAIN, AND IN THE 13:13 SEALS WE COME ALL THE WAY DOWN, BUT WE GO -- SEVEN TRUMPETS WE 13:20 GO ALL THE WAY BACK, GOD'S K KINGDOM IS ESTABLISHED -- BUT 13:27 THEN WITH THE WOMAN WE GO BACK NOW AND BEGIN AGAIN, AND THIS 13:31 CLEARLY HELPS US TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO STUDY THE BOOK OF 13:37 REVELATION. BECAUSE EVERY ONE OF THESE 13:39 CYCLES GO BAK, MARCH THROUGH HISTORY, AND GO ALL THE WAY TO 13:45 THE NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH. WE BEGAN WITH THE BIRTH AND THE 13:52 RESURRECTION OF JESUS. AND THEN WE GO INTO THE HISTORY 13:54 OF THE WOMAN. THERE IS A TRANSITION THAT TAKES 13:58 PLACE, THE WOMAN GOES INTO THE WILDERNESS. 14:00 WE KNOW THE WOMAN IN REVELATION 12:1 REPRESENTS THE LITERAL 14:06 JEWISH CHURCH. WE KNOW THAT BECAUSE JESUS WAS 14:09 BORN A JEW. BUT IN REVEATION 12:6, THE 14:13 WOMAN FLEES INTO THE WILLERNESS, WE KNOW THAT REPRESENTS THE 14:18 CHRISTIAN CHURCH. AND SO YOU HAVE A TRANSITION 14:22 HERE TAKING PLACE. THIS WOMAN -- THIS WOMAN THAT 14:25 GIVES BIRTH TO CHRIST IS THE EARLY LITERAL JEWISH CHURCH AND 14:30 THEN TRANSITIONS TO THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN ONE VERSE. 14:37 SO MANY PEOPLE ARE FOCUSED IN BIBLE PROPHECY ON THE MIDDLE 14:45 EAST. AND THEY DON'T REALIZE THE 14:47 TRANSITION THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE HERE. 14:50 ALL OF THOSE PROPHETIC CHAPTERS SHOW THIS TRANSITION THAT TAKES 14:54 PLACE FROM LITERAL JEWISH NATION, WHICH IS DESTROYED, THE 14:58 TEMPLE IS DESTROYED, JERUSALEM IS DESTROYED AND THEN THE 15:04 DISCIPLES ARE SCATTERED EVERYWHERE. 15:06 THEY ALL FLEE. JESUS SAID TAKE OFF. 15:09 AND THE CHURCH BECOMES WORLDWIDE INSTEAD OF CENTERED IN THE 15:13 MIDDLE EAST. A LOT OF PROPHETIC MISDIRECTION 15:18 TAKES PLACE WHEN WE TRY TO INTERPRET PROPHECY REGARDING 15:26 LITERAL ISRAEL. SO WE GO THROUGH THE HISTORY, 15:29 AND WE HAVE GOT THE DARK AGES THE WOMAN BEING NOURISHED IN THE 15:34 WILDERNESS, AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER BEAST COMING UP OUT OF 15:37 THE EARTH -- OUT OF THE SEA, EXCUSE ME, AND THIS BEAST 15:41 RECEIVES A DEADLY WOUND IN VERSE 3. 15:45 I'M NOT GOING THROUGH THE DETAILS, BUT AS THE WOUND IS 15:49 BEING INFLICTED, ANOTHER BEAST RISES UP OUT OF THE EARTH. 15:58 THE SECOND BEAST IS LAMB LIKE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT TO BE THE 16:03 UNITED STATES. IT SPEAKS LIKE A DRAGON. 16:05 WE SEE THAT TAKING PLACE RIGHT NOW IN THE UNITED STATES. 16:08 >> YES. >> AND AS IT DOES THAT, IT 16:11 COMBINES WITH THE FIRST BEAST, THE SEA BEAST, AND BEGINS TO 16:14 MAKE AN IMAGE OF THAT BEAST AND MARK THE IMAGE OF THAT BEAST, 16:20 AND THAT'S WHEN WE START CLOSING OUT THE PROPHECIES OF 16:26 REVELATION. ESCATOLOGICAL MEANING END TIME. 16:36 WHEN WE LOOK AT REVELATION, WE'RE GOING FROM CHRIST DAY, THE 16:41 BIRTH OF CHRIST, THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST, FROM THE 16:46 TRANSITION OF LITERAL ISRAEL, TO THE CHURCH IN THE WILDERNESS, 16:49 THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, AND WE'RE GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE 16:54 END OF TIME. SO EVENTS BEFORE US THAT HAVEN'T 16:57 EVEN HAPPENED YET. REVELATION CHAPTERS 12 THROUGH 17:05 22 ARE PRIMARILIEST TOE LOGICAL. REVELATION 12, AND -- THROUGH 22 17:16 ARE PRIMARILY FUTURE. MOST ARE DEALING WITH THE MARKS 17:19 OF THE BEAST, AND THE JUDGMENTS OF GOD -- 17:22 >> REAPING OF THE HARVEST. >> REAPING OF THE HARVEST. 17:26 SO JOHN'S VISION IS RECAPPING A LITTLE BIT OF THE HISTORY, BUT 17:32 HE IS PRIMARILY TAKING US TO THE FUTURE. 17:36 AND THAT'S WHEN WE'RE INTRODUCED TO THE THREE ANGELS MESSAGES, 17:40 AND THIS BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF THE EVER-LASTING GOSPEL GOING TO 17:44 ALL OF THE WORLD, AND WHEN THAT GOES TO ALL OF THE WORLD, THEN 17:49 YOU HAVE THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES. REVELATION 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 17:58 20, THE THOUSAND YEARS, AND THEN THE RESURRECTION OF THE WICKED 18:02 AFTER THE THOUSAND YEARS WHEN THE JUDGMENT FINALLY TAKES 18:06 PLACE. AND THEN WE GET TO REVELATION 18:11 21, AND GUESS WHERE WE LAND? TWO HEAVEN. 18:16 WE BEGIN WITH THE INCARNATION, BIRTH, RECK RECOLLECTION OF 18:20 JESUS, AND WE GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE END OF TIME AND 18:25 THE NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH. SO THERE THEY ARE, THE FOUR 18:33 PROPHETIC CYCLES OF REVELATION. YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT OUTLINE, 18:36 AND OF COURSE WE HAVE GOT THIS ON OUR OUTLINE RIGHT HERE. 18:39 WE HAVE GOT THIS WRITTEN DOWN. THE INTRODUCTION, THE SEVEN 18:48 CHURCHES, THEN THE SEVEN SEALS, AND THEN THE SEVEN TRUMPETS, AND 18:58 THE SEVEN BULLS, AND TAKE US TO REVELATION 22:7. 19:06 22:8 IS THE EPILOGUE, THE CLOSE AND THAT TAKES US TO VERSE 21. 19:17 AND ONCE YOU ORGANIZE THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS LIKE THAT, YOU 19:23 CAN FIT EACH OF THESE PROPHETIC CYCLES OVER THE OTHER ONE, AND A 19:29 LOT OF THE EVENTS CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER, AND HELP TO EXPLAIN 19:33 EACH OTHER. SO I'M HOPING THAT YOU FOLLOWED 19:35 ME ON THIS. >> YEAH. 19:37 >> I DID. >> IT IS LIKE THE DIFFERENT 19:39 SICKLES ON THE WASHING MACHINE. WE WENT THROUGH EACH ONE, THEY 19:43 ALL COVER THE SAME TERRITORY, BUT HAVE DIFFERENT EMPHASIS 19:48 AV AVENUE -- NUANCES. 19:53 >> I HAVE GOT TO GET THIS PROGRAM AND WATCH IT OVER AND 19:56 OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

GET THE PROGRAM, GET THE FREE 20:34 OFFER, BUT, AGAIN, I JUST GOT A NOTE, TO MY KNOWLEDGE THIS HAS 20:38 NEVER HAPPENED IN THE HISTORY OF 3ABN, WHERE THE CALL CENTER HAD 20:43 TO CALL OVER AND SAY WE ARE SO BACKED UP, WE CAN'T TAKE MORE 20:48 CALLS. >> WE'RE NEARING THE END OF 20:50 TIME. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WORKING. 20:53 >> PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED. THEY NEED THIS. 20:55 >> YES, WE WANT TO SEE -- LIKE YOU SAID, MOLLIE, AND I LOVE 20:59 THIS. WE WANT TO SEE TODAY THE SAME 21:01 THINGS WE'RE SEEING IN REVELATION, THE OUTPOURING OF 21:04 THE HOLY SPIRIT. AND ALL OF THAT HISTORY WAS 21:08 THERE. NOT JUST SO WE CAN SAY IT'S FINE 21:10 AND DANDY FOR THEM, BUT IT'S THERE FOR US. 21:14 >> I'M CONVINCED THAT THE GREATEST HOUR OF THE CHURCH IS 21:18 STILL AHEAD OF US. REPEATEDLY THE SCRIPTURE TELLS 21:22 US THAT IN THAT DAY ALL NATIONS WILL FLOW INTO THE LORDS HOUSE. 21:27 WHAT IS THAT DAY? IT HAS TO BE THE END TIME FOR 21:30 THAT GREAT OUTPOURING AND END TIME OF GOD, AND I JUST HOPE I'M 21:35 AROUND FOR THAT GREAT OUTPOURING. 21:37 >> AMEN. AMEN. 21:39 >> AND AGAIN, OUR GREATEST HOUR IS AHEAD OF US. 21:42 >> AMEN. I WANT US TO PRAY RIGHT NOW. 21:44 I JUST FEEL IMPRESSED. SO MANY TIMES WHEN WE SHARE ON 21:49 THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS, AND SHARE THESE PICTURES OF BIBLE 21:58 PROPHECY, SATAN TRIES TO HINDER, AND HE COULD BE DOING THAT 22:03 THROUGH THE PHONE LINES SO PEOPLE CAN'T GET THROUGH. 22:07 SO CAN WE PRAY? >> YES. 22:09 >> FATHER WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR THE 22:13 OUTPOURING OF YOUR HOLY SPIRIT TO GUIDE AND LEAD, HUNDREDS, 22:17 MAYBE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THE BOOK OF 22:21 REVELATIONS.

WE HAVE PLENTY OF THE FREE 23:14 OFFER. SO YOU JUST CALL US, AND WE'LL 23:17 SEE THAT YOU GET IT. EVEN IF IT IS NEXT WEEK, AND YOU 23:21 CAN ALSO EMAIL US AT FREEOFFER@3ABN.TV. 23:27 SO THERE IS ANOTHER WAY TO GET THIS FREE OFFER. 23:30 >> AMEN. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. 23:32 >> YES, I DO. IN DANIEL, THE ANTI-CHRIST WILL 23:36 DWELL IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY ON EARTH, THIS LADY 23:40 SAYS -- JOSHUA SAYS. WHICH CITY, COUNTRY, WILL THAT 23:46 BE? WILL IT BE ISRAEL OR AMERICA? 23:48 HE IS ASKING. >> THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT -pQUESTION, AND WHAT THE BIBLE 23:53 ACTUALLY SAYS, AND I THINK HE MAY BE QUOTING DANIEL CHAPTER 23:58 11. AND DANIEL CHAPTER 11 IT IS 24:01 TALKING ABOUT THIS KING OF THE NORTH POWER, WHICH IS -- IF YOU 24:05 FOLLOW THE SEQUENCE OF DANIEL'S PROPHECIES IS THE FINAL POWER TO 24:09 SEEKS TO SIT IN THE PLACE OF GOD, AND IT SAYS IN DANIEL 24:14 11:41, IT SAYS THAT HE IS GOING TO ENTER INTO THE GLORIOUS LAND. 24:19 I THINK THAT'S WHAT JOSHUA IS REFERRING TO HERE. 24:23 DANIEL 11:41, AND HE WILL ENTER THE GLORIOUS LAND. 24:28 NOW, WHAT IS THE GLORIOUS LAND? WE KNOW BEYOND A SHADOW OF A 24:32 DOUBT FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT, THAT THE GLORIOUS LAND IS 24:38 DESIGNATED FOR THE LAND THAT WAS GIVEN TO ISRAEL. 24:41 GOD PROMISED THEM THIS LAND, AND THIS PHRASE WAS USED TO 24:46 DESIGNATE THAT LAND, THE GLORIOUS LAND. 24:48 SO FROM THAT, WE WOULD ASSUME THAT THE GLORIOUS LAND IS THE 24:54 MIDDLE EAST, ISRAEL. HOWEVER, WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THE 25:02 TRANSITION IN REVELATION 12. IT PICKS OFF WHERE DANIEL LEAVES 25:08 OFF. REVELATION 12 IS REHEARSING A 25:10 LITTLE BIT OF THE HISTORY OF THE APOSTOLIC AGE, THE WOMAN GIVING 25:14 BIRTH TO THE MAN CHILD, HE IS BEING CALLED UP TO HEAVEN. 25:17 BUT THEN IT TAKES US FURTHER. DANIEL TAKES US INTO THE DARK 25:23 AGES, BUT REVELATION 12, 13, 14 GIVES US MORE DETAIL AS THE 25:27 CHURCH COMES OUT OF THE DARK AGES. 25:30 IT SAYS THE WOMAN FLED INTO THE WILDERNESS WHERE SHE HAD A 25:34 PLACE. IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, GOD GAVE 25:37 HIS PEOPLE A PLACE. IT WAS THE GLORIOUS LAND. 25:40 AND IT WAS A PLACE WHERE THEY COULD WORSHIP GOD IN FREEDOM, 25:45 AND IT WAS A PLACE THAT WAS FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY. 25:49 YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? >> PROSPEROUS. 25:52 >> IT WAS ECONOMICALLY PROSPEROUS. 25:55 IT WAS ECONOMICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY BLESSED. 25:58 THOSE ARE THE TWO BIBLICAL DESIGNATIONS FOR THE GLORIOUS 26:03 LAND. WE CAN'T JUST SAY THE GLORIOUS 26:07 LAND IS ISRAEL. BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN A PLACE 26:10 FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY FOR MANY YEARS, AND IT HAS NOT BEEN 26:14 A PLACE OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM FOR MANY YEARS, GOD'S PEOPLE. 26:20 BUT IF WE FOLLOW PROPHECY CAREFULLY, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO 26:25 FIND IS THAT GOD HAS ANOTHER PLACE FOR THE WOMAN, AND THIS 26:28 PLACE IS DESIGNATED IN VERSE 6 AS THE WILDERNESS, BUT IF YOU GO 26:34 TO VERSE 14, IT SAYS -- IT'S START WITH VERSE 13. 26:38 BRIAN YOU READ FOR US. CHAPTER 12:13, 14, 15, 16. 26:48 >> WHEN THE GRAG R DRAGON SAW HE HAS BEEN CAST TO THE EARTH, HE 26:57 PERSECUTED THE WOMAN WHO GAVE BIRTH TO THE CHILD. 26:59 AND THE WOMAN WAS GIVEN TWO GREAT WINGS WHERE SHE MIGHT FLY 27:03 INTO THE WILDERNESS FOR A PLACE, WHERE SHE IS NOURISHED. 27:08 >> LET'S STOP RIGHT THERE. AGAIN, THE WORD PLACE IS USED. 27:12 INTO HER PLACE. INTO HER PLACE. 27:14 GOD A PLACE FOR THE WOMAN, AND -- AND AGAIN, IT'S 27:18 IDENTIFIED HERE AS THE WILD ORENESS, WHERE SHE IS GOING TO 27:23 BE NOURISHED, SO -- BUT WHAT IS SIGNIFI 27:29 SIGNIFICANT IS THIS, THE TERMINOLOGY BEING USED IS BARRED 27:32 FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT. THIS HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME. 27:37 BUT THE TERMINOLOGY IS BARRED SPECIFICALLY IN REVELATION 13, 27:43 THE WOMAN WAS GIVEN TWO WINGS OF A GREAT EAGLE. 27:48 YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS BARRED FROM? 27:50 THE BOOK OF EXODUS. AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT PHRASE 27:54 WAS USED TO DESCRIBE THE BOOK OF EXODUS, GOD TAKING HIS PEOPLE 27:58 FROM EGYPT INTO THE PLACE WHERE THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO WORSHIP 28:02 GOT IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH AND WHERE THEY WOULD BE ECONOMICALLY 28:07 BLESSED, INTO THE GLORIOUS LAND. HE IS BORING THESE SAME 28:16 TERMINOLOGY AND APPLYING IT TO THE WOMAN, THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. 28:21 INTO HER PLACE WHERE SHE IS NOURISHED. 28:24 LET'S READ VERSE 15. >> SO THE SERPENT SPEWED WATER 28:31 OUT OF HIS MOUTH LIKE A FLOOD AFTER THE WOMAN, BUT THE EARTH 28:37 HELPED THE WOMAN, AND THE EARTH OPENED ITS MOUTH AND SWALLOWED 28:45 UP THE FLOOD. >> IN VERSE 14 IT WAS CALLED THE 28:51 WILDERNESS, BUT IN VERSE 16 IT IS THE EARTH. 28:53 NOW JUST TURN OVER THE PAGE AND READ 13:11. 28:59 >> YEAH. MOLLIE WHY DON'T YOU DO THAT. 29:01 >> THEN I SAW ANOTHER BEAST COMING UP OUT OF THE EARTH AND 29:05 HE HAD TWO HORNS LIKE A LAMB AND SPOKE LIKE A DRAGON. 29:10 >> WHERE DID HE COME FROM? >> OUT OF THE EARTH. 29:13 >> THE EARTH IS A PLACE GIVEN TO GOD'S PEOPLE BY GOD. 29:19 IT IS THE PLACE THAT IS DESIGNATED FIRST AS THE 29:23 WILDERNESS, BUT THEN AS THE EARTH. 29:25 IT'S THE PLACE WHERE GOD'S PEOPLE FOUND REFUGE FROM THE 29:32 SERPENT CASTING OUT THE WATER. IN THAT EARTH IS THE SAME PLACE 29:37 WHERE THIS NEW EARTHLY POWER RISES. 29:41 YOU KNOW WHAT THAT EARTH IS IN IT IS THE UNITED STATES OF 29:44 AMERICA. >> OF AMERICA. 29:45 >> DOES IT MEET THE SPECIFICATIONS OF BIBLE 29:49 PROPHECY? WAS IT A PLACE OF RELIGIOUS 29:54 FREEDOM? YES. 29:55 WAS IT A PLACE OF MILK AND HONEY? 29:59 >> YES. >> THE GLORIOUS LAND IS THE 30:07 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THEY WANT TO DESTROY THE 30:12 FOUNDATION OF THIS GOVERNMENT -- OF THE NATION, AND 30:16 CAUSE THIS NATION TO FORCE WORSHIP UPON EVERYONE ON THE 30:19 PAIN OF DEATH, AND THAT'S WHAT WE SEE PREDICTED IN THE 30:26 PROPHECIES OF REVELATION. >> I WONDER IF IT WILL ALWAYS 30:31 LOSE ITS ECONOMIC PROSPERITY. >> JUST LIKE ISRAEL DID, 30:35 ABSOLUTELY. >> YEAH. 30:36 >> YOU LOSE THE LAMB-LIKE HORN, THE LAMB-LIKE QUALITIES THAT 30:42 WERE GIVEN TO THIS NATION. >> AND ARE WE SEEING THE 30:46 SHAKINGS OF THAT? >> YES, WE ARE IN A VERY 30:50 INTERESTING WAY. WHAT IS TAKING PLACE RIGHT NOW 30:52 IS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE FOCUSING ON ISLAM. 30:55 AND PEOPLE ARE A LITTLE BIT TERRIFIED ABOUT ISLAM. 30:58 BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT ISLAM WHEN IT COMES TO 31:01 BIBLE PROPHECY. ISLAM IS NOT MENTIONED IN 31:07 BIBLICAL PROPHECY. THEY ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN 31:12 REVELATION CHAPTER 9 BIG TIME. BUT ACCORDING TO THE SEQUENCE, 31:17 REVELATION CHAPTER 9 IS OVER, IT'S PAST, IT'S PRE1844, AND WE 31:24 CAN GO INTO A LOT OF STU ON THAT. 31:26 WHEN YOU GET TO REVELATION CHAPTER 12, AND GO INTO THE RISE 31:35 OF THE SEA BEAST LAND BEAST, ALL OF THAT HISTORY, ISLAM IS NOT 31:39 THERE. THERE IS NO SYMBOLISM 31:42 REPRESENTATION FOR ISLAM THERE. SO JUS LIKE -- I REMEMBER 31:46 JOHNNY CASH WROTE A SONG ABOUT MATTHEW 24, AND WE TALKED ABOUT 31:54 THE BEAR, RUSSIA GETTING READY TO COME DOWN FOR ARMAGEDDON. 32:02 WHERE DID THAT TAKE US? WELL, IT TOOK US TO WHERE WE ARE 32:06 TODAY, A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT IF YOU ARE TRYING TO PUT RUSSIA IN 32:11 AS THE ANTICHRIST. BECAUSE IT'S NOT THERE. 32:15 YOU SEE? AND NEITHER IS ISLAM. 32:18 WE HAVE GOT TO STICK TO BIBLE PROPHECY. 32:22 DON'T LET NEWS INFORM US. LET THE BIBLE INFORM US. 32:25 BACK IN WORLD WAR II, ANTICHRIST WAS HITER. 32:28 THEY WERE GOING TO BE THE ONES, AND THIS WAS GOING TO BE 32:34 ARMAGEDDON. AND WE DO THAT WITH THE NEWS. 32:37 WE CAN'T DO THAT. SO WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH ISLAM? 32:41 WELL, ISLAM -- AND I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT IN THIS 32:45 SENSE -- JUST GIVE IT TWO MINUTES. 32:48 ISLAM IN THE SENSE OF RADICAL ISLAM, IN THE SENSE OF 32:53 TERRORISM. BECAUSE TODAY WE HAVE TO ADMIT 32:55 MOST OF ISAM IS WORKING WITH THE WEST TO FIGHT ISLAMIC 32:59 TERRORISM, YOU UNDERSTAND. ALL OF THE EVENTS THAT WE HAVE 33:03 SEEN IN KUWAIT, IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, AND NOW IN SYRIA 33:07 AND THOSE AREAS, IT'S SAUDI ARABIA, AND KUWAIT, AND ALL OF 33:13 THESE MODERATE MUSLIMS ARE WORKING WITH THE UNITED STATES. 33:17 HELPING US TO FIGHT ISLAMIC ISLAM -- RADICAL ISLAM. 33:24 AND RADICAL ISLAM IS NOT FIGHTING AGAINST THE WEST PER 33:29 SE. THEY ARE KILLING MUSLIMS MORE 33:31 THAN CHRISTIANS -- >> THEY ARE FIGHTING EVERYBODY. 33:34 >> THEY ARE FIGHTING EVERYBODY, WHICH IS A FULFILLMENT ABOUT THE 33:40 PROPHECY IN GENESIS. HOWEVER, HERE IS THE POINT. 33:44 COULD IT BE OUR FEAR OF RADICAL ISLAM IS CAUSING US AS AMERICANS 33:50 TO GIVE UP OUR LIBERTY. >> TO MAKE CONCESSIONS THAT WE 33:57 WOULD NEVER HAVE MADE OTHERWISE? >> YES. 34:00 >> SO IF EVER THERE WAS A CALL FOR A NATION TO HUMBLE 34:05 THEMSELVES AND PRAY, TODAY IS THE DAY. 34:08 >> TODAY IS THE DAY. AND WE NEED TO SEE WHAT IS GOING 34:11 ON BEHIND THE SCREENS. BECAUSE I SEE A SMOKE SCREEN 34:17 OVER HERE, AND ALL OF US GIVING UP OUR LIBERTIES, AND THAT 34:26 TRANSITION, TO SPEAKING LIKE A DRAGON. 34:30 CONTROL, ENFORCEMENT, POLICE STATE, IF YOU WILL. 34:33 THAT'S WHAT IS TAKING PLACE. AND THAT'S PREDICTED IN BIBLE 34:38 PROPHECY. LONG ANSWER FOR JOSHUA. 34:39 I HOPE IT ALL MAKES SENSE. >> BUT WHAT GOOD INFORMATION, 34:44 JAMES. THANK YOU. 34:46 GOING TO ANOTHER QUESTION. THIS IS DANIEL 12:12. 34:51 IT SAYS BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO WAIT FOR THE 1335 DAYS. 34:57 WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WHEN DOES THIS START? 35:00 AND WHEN WAS THIS END? >> VERY GOOD QUESTION. 35:03 I HOPE WE CAN COVER THIS IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. 35:09 THE BOOK OF DANIEL IN THE PROPHETIC VISION HAS INTROS AND 35:14 CLOSES. AND IT'S DIFFERENT FROM 35:15 REVELATION, BECAUSE REVELATION IS ONEN TROY AND ONE CLOSE. 35:19 DANIEL HAS FOUR DIFFERENT SEPARATE VISIONS OR PROPHECIES. 35:23 WHEN YOU GET TO DANIEL 11 AND 12, YOU HAVE THE FOURTH VISION. 35:28 IT HAS AN INTRO WHICH IS DANIEL 10 WHERE HE SEES THIS CERTAIN 35:33 MAN AND IS PRAYING, AND THEN THE VISION BEGINS, AND THEN YOU GET 35:38 TO DANIEL CHAPTER 12 -- IF I SAY THAT CATCH ME -- DANIEL CHAPTER 35:46 12:4. DANIEL 12:1 THROUGH 3 REALLY 35:48 BELONGS TO THE VISION. IT'S KIND OF AN INSTRUCTION THAT 35:51 IS GIVEN TO DANIEL IN CHAPTER 11. 35:55 BECAUSE 12:1, 2, AND 3 IS PART OF THAT VISION. 36:01 BUT VERSE 4 IS WHERE THE VISION ENDS AND INSTRUCTION IS GIVEN TO 36:08 DANIEL. I SAW THIS CERTAIN MAN, AND ONE 36:10 SAID HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO BE SEALED UP, AND THE ONE SAID FOR 36:15 1260 DAYS -- OR 1260 -- AND FROM THE TIME THE [ INAUDIBLE ] IS 36:20 TAKEN AWAY, AND THE ABOMINATION IS SET UP, THERE IS THE 1335. 36:29 BY THE WAY THE BOOK OF DANIEL IS NO LONGER SEALED. 36:33 IT'S OPENED. SO THOSE TIME PROPHECIES HAVE 36:36 ENDED. IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND WHERE 36:38 THEY BELONG, WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO A PREVIOUS VISION IN DANIEL 36:45 8. IT WAS THERE WE WERE FIRST 36:47 INTRODUCED TO THE TAKING AWAY OF THE DAILY, AND SETTING UP 36:51 THE -- AND TAKING AWAY THE DAILY REFERS TO THE MEDIATION OF 36:58 CHRIST BEING ECLIPSED BY THE LITTLE HORN WHO HAS SET UP A 37:04 COUNTERFEIT SYSTEM, CAST THE SANCTUARY TO THE GROUND. 37:09 HOW LONG WOULD THAT CONTINUE? THE 1260 APPLIES TO THE CIVIL 37:15 STRENGTH OF THIS COUNTERFEIT SYSTEM. 37:19 FROM 538 TO 1798. IT WAS A CIVIL POWER THAT 37:24 ENFORCED ITS RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS THAT WERE A COUNTERFEIT OF 37:29 CHRIST, COUNTERFEIT ON THE EARTH. 37:32 BUT THE TAKING AWAY OF THE DAILY AND SETTING UP THE -- REFERS TO 37:41 THE ECCLESIASTICAL POWER. THAT POWER BEGAN BEFORE THE 37:47 CIVIL POWERS ENACTED. THE STRENGTH OF THI COUNTERFEIT 37:54 SYSTEM BEGAN BEFORE THAT. IN THAT BEGAN IN 508. 37:57 THAT'S WHEN THE POPE WAS ESTABLISHED AS THE JUDGE OF ALL 38:01 MEN WHO COULD BE JUDGED BY NO MAN. 38:04 FROM 508 WE HAVE 1290 YEARS THAT TAKES US TO 1798 WHEN THE POPE 38:12 RECEIVED A DEADLY WOUND, THEN YOU HAVE ANNENING OF THIS 38:15 AUTHORITY, BUT BLESSED IS HE THAT COMES TO THE END OF 1335, 38:21 THAT TAKES US TO 1843. 1843 IS WHEN YOU HAD THE FIRST 38:26 DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE MILLERITE MOVEMENT. 38:30 THE SECOND DISAPPOINTMENT TOOK US INTO A CORN FEEL. 38:35 AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE MILLERITE'S SAW IN THAT CORN 38:42 FIELD? THEY SAW THE SANCTUARY. 38:45 AND SAW THE TRUTH. BLESSED IS HE THAT COMES TO THE 38:48 END OF THE 1335, BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN THEY BEGAN TO REALIZE THE 38:53 SANCTUARY IS IN HEAVEN. THEY BEGAN TO REALIZE THE WORK 38:57 OF THE PRINCE IN HEAVEN HAD BEEN TAKEN AWARE FOR ALL OF THESE 39:01 YEARS, AND IT ALL BEGAN TO FALL APART, AND THEY BEGAN TO SEE 39:05 TRULY, AND THAT'S WHEN THEY WERE TOLD THOU MUST PROPHESIZE AGAIN. 39:10 YOU NEED TO TELL THE WORLD THE EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE GONE 39:15 THROUGH. SO THESE PROPHETIC TIME PERIODS 39:21 APPLY. THEY APPLY TO THE TAKING AWAY OF 39:22 THE DAILY BY THIS COUNTERFEIT SYSTEM AND THE CASTING DOWN OF 39:26 THE TRUTH TO THE GROWN UNTIL THE TIME IT WAS RECOVERED BY THE 39:32 MILLERITS, AND THAT'S WAS WHERE THIS BLESSING WAS FULFILLED. 39:37 WHEN THEY WENT THROUGH THIS BLESSED EXPERIENCE AND THEY SAW 39:40 THE SANCTUARY AND BEGAN TO PROCLAIM, EVERYTHING THAT HAD TO 39:45 DO WITH THE TRANSITION FROM THE HOLY PLACE TO THE MOST HOLY 39:49 PLACE. >> OKAY. 39:50 BRIAN HAVE YOU GOT ANYTHING TO ADD OR ANY QUESTIONS? 39:52 >> YEAH, I HAVE ONE THAT HAS PUZZLED ME THAT I HAVE NEVER 40:00 QUITE PUT TOGETHER. BUT WITHIN THE TRUMPETS, THERE 40:05 IS THREE WOES. HOW DOES THAT FIT INTO THE 40:08 STRUCTURE OF BEGINNING WITH APOSTOLIC AND WORKING -- WHAT IS 40:12 THAT -- HOW DO YOU? >> THE THREE LAST TRUMPETS ARE 40:16 CALLED WOES THIS THAT'S IT. >> OH, OKAY. 40:24 >> WHY ARE THEY CALLED WOES? AND THAT'S THE QUESTION YOU WANT 40:29 TO ASK, AND IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE SPECIFICALLY DEALING WITH 40:34 JUDGMENTS, PLAGUES -- THEY ARE CALLED PLAYINGS IN REVELATION 40:38 CHAPTER 9 COMING ON THE INHABITANTS OF THE FIRST. 40:42 AND THE SECOND ONE DEALS WITH THE ON SLOT OF ISLAM IN THE 40:47 MIDDLEAGES, DARK AGES, THAT BROUGHT GREAT JUDGMENTS AGAINST 40:52 THIS PAPALSY. SHE'LL REPENT, BUT SHE WON'T 41:06 REPENT, TALKING ABOUT JEZEBEL. >> SO THE LORD USED THAT 41:11 MOVEMENT AS A JUDGMENT?-p>> YES. AND THE FINAL WOE IS T 41:20 THE -- SECOND COMING OF JESUS. HE'LL COME QUICKLY. 41:24 AND WHEN HE COMES THAT IS A WOE TO ALL OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE 41:29 EARTH WHO HAVE NOT MADE CHRIST THE CENTER OF THEIR LIVES AND 41:33 HEARTS. >> OKAY. 41:33 LET'S GO TO OUR NEXT QUESTION. LANG WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IN 41:38 CHAPTER 4 OF REVELATION, IS THAT NOT WHEN THE RAPTURE OF THE 41:42 CHURCH HAPPENS? >> REALLY GOOD QUESTION, WAYNE. 41:46 REVELATION 4. NOW IT IS TAUGHT AND BELIEVED IN 41:49 A LOT OF CIRCLES THAT REVELATION 4 TO THE END IS ALL FUTURE, AND 41:56 THAT IS THE POSITION WE CALL FUTURISM. 41:59 WE HAVEN'T LOOKED IN DETAIL AT THE PRINCIPLES OF INTERPRETING 42:04 REVELATION, BUT ON THE FREE OUTLINE THAT WE HAVE, WE HAVE 42:08 FOUR BASIC APPROACHES TO THE BOOK OF REVELATION. 42:18 ONE IS HISTORYISM, FUTURISM, ANOTHER IS EXPRESSIONISM, AND 42:24 THEN THE THIRD ONE -- EXCUSE ME, THE FOURTH ONE IS FUTURISM, AND 42:28 THAT IS THAT PROPHECY IS PRIMARILY FULFILLED IN THE 42:33 FUTURE. AND THERE IS ANOTHER ONE THAT IS 42:36 PRIVATE INTERPRETATIONS. BUT THE ONE THAT WAYNE IS 42:39 REFERRING TO IS ONE THAT TAKES REVELATION CHAPTER 4 ALL THE WAY 42:43 TO THE END OF THE BOOK AND APPLIES IT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF 42:47 THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH. THE IDEA IS THE SEVEN 42:51 CHURCHES -- YES, THEY APPLY THROUGH HISTORY. 42:54 BUT THEN LOOK BEHOLD A DOOR WAS OPEN IN HEAVEN. 42:57 AND A VOICE SAID COME UP HITHER. THE CHURCH IS BEING RAPTURED UP 43:03 NOW. AND ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IT IS 43:05 REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US IN OUR STUDY OF REVELATION TO LAY OUT 43:09 THESE PRINCIPALS, THESE PROPHETIC PRINCIPALS OF 43:14 INTERPRETATION IS BECAUSE WHAT WE SEE HERE IS THAT IN APPLYING 43:18 THIS TO THE RAPTURE IS WE CAN GO ANYWHERE IN REVELATION, AND THAT 43:23 IS WHAT HAPPENS MANY TIMES, WE TAKE THIS LITTLE PHRASE CALLED 43:27 UP TO HEVEN AND WE SAY THAT IS THE CHURCH -- OR IT SAYS HERE A 43:31 VOICE SAYS COME UP HITHER AND I WILL SHOW YOU THINGS. 43:34 AND IMMEDIATELY I WAS IN THE SPIRIT. 43:38 NOW VERSE 2 IS IDENTIFYING NOT THAT JON WAS CAUGHT UP, BUT HE 43:41 WAS IN THE SPIRIT. HE WAS SEEING THE VISION. 43:44 AND THIS ISN'T THE CHURCH. THIS IS JOHN. 43:46 AND OF COURSE WE HAVE LOOKED AT A LOT OF SYMBOLISM THAT TAKES US 43:51 BACK TO THE APOSTOLIC AGE. WE HAVE LOOKED AT THE PRIN 43:58 PRINCIPAL -- PRINCIPLES OF INTERPRETATION, BUT WE WANT TO 44:03 TAKE AT A COUPLE OF VERSUS. BRIAN I WANT YOU TO READ 44:09 REVELATION 1:4, AND THEN REVELATION 1:8, MOLLIE, AND THEN 44:15 REVELATION 1:19. SO REVELATION 1:4. 44:19 >> JOHN TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES, GRACE TO YOU AND PEACE FROM HIM 44:25 WHO IS AND WHO WAS AND WHO IS TO COME, AND FROM THE SEVEN SPIRITS 44:30 WHO ARE BEFORE HIS THROWN. >> ALL RIGH. 44:32 SO I JUST WANT TO ESTABLISH THE POINT HERE. 44:36 REVELATION 1:4. GOD IS, GOD WAS, AND GOD IS TO 44:39 COME. ALL RIGHT. 44:41 WE HAVE GOT THAT SO FAR. NOW VERSE 8. 44:46 >> I AM TH ALPHA, THE OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END. 44:54 >> THESE TWO VERSES ARE DESCRIBING GOD'S CHARACTER. 44:57 HE IS, HE WAS, AND HE IS TO COME. 44:59 IN THAT IS PREFERRING TO PRESENT, PAST, AND FUTURE. 45:04 IT INTERDOESES A GOD WHO IS, -WAS, AND IS TO COME. THAT IS HISTORYISM. 45:13 THAT IS THE APPROACH WE TAKE TO THE BOOK OF REVELATION. 45:18 THE KEY VERSE IS 1:19. >> RIGHT. 45:24 THE THINGS WHICH YOU HAVE SEEN, AND THE THINGS WHICH ARE, AND 45:28 THE THINGS WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE AFTER THIS. 45:30 >> ALL RIGHT. WHAT IS THAT? 45:35 RIGHT THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE SEEN, PAST, THE THINGS YOU SEE. 45:43 PRESENT, AND THE THINGS YOU WILL SEE, FUTURE. 45:49 NOW, JOHN SEES THE LAMB SLAIN IN THE MIDST OF THE THROWN. 45:54 WAS JESUS SLAIN IN 1890? NO. 46:00 WHEN WAS HE SLAIN? A TIME TO COME. 46:05 IN REVELATION 5 WE'RE IN THE PAST. 46:09 IN ORDER FOR THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH TO TAKE PLACE IN 4, 1, 46:15 AND 2. EVERYTHING FROM THAT POINT ON 46:18 HAS TO BE FUTURE, AND IT ISN'T. IN CHAPTER 13 YOU HAVE THE SEA 46:23 BEAST AND THE WOUND AND ALL OF THAT IS PAST HISTORY. 46:27 SO BASICALLY WHEN YOU READ THE BOOK OF REVELATION, THE BEST WAY 46:30 FOR US TO INTERPRET THE BOOK OF REVELATION IS TO LOOK AT IT IN 46:36 RELATION TO HISTORYISM. AND THAT WILL KEEP US FROM 46:43 JUMPING AHEAD AND PLACING ALL OF THESE CHAPTERS INTO THE FUTURE, 46:47 WHEN THERE IS A LOT OF HISTORY -HERE THAT OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T APPLY TO THE FUTURE. 46:53 >> OKAY. SO WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE THEN 46:55 HAVE A STRUGGLE WITH, IS THEY HAVE BEEN TAUGHT A DIFFERENT 47:00 OUTLINE -- >> YES, FUTURISM. 47:05 OR PREDATORISM. >> YES, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE TODAY 47:11 IT'S MORE EMPHASIS, AT LEAST ON THE COMMON LEVEL, PEOPLE AT THE 47:19 UNIVERSITY LEVEL WILL BE IN THE PREDATORIST VIEW, BUT MOST 47:24 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT THE FUTURISM -- 47:29 >> YES. >> AND THIS FITS THE BOOK 47:31 BETTER. >> YES, AND THAT'S BECAUSE THE 47:33 BOOK OF REVELATION IS A REVELATION OF JESUS AND GOD. 47:37 AND GOD IDENTIFIES HIMSELF AS ONE WHO IS PAST, PRESENT AND 47:41 FUTURE. THAT'S HOW HE IDENTIFIES HIMSELF 47:45 IN 1:4 AND 1:8. HISTORYISM IS THE WAY THE BOOK 47:54 IS INTRODUCED. AND IT'S ABOUT GOD AND GOD'S 47:58 CHARACTER. THE BOOK OF REVELATION 48:00 INTRODUCES US TO A GOD WHO IS WITH HIS PEOPLE, WHO HAS BEEN 48:04 WITH HIS PEOPLE, AND WHO WILL BE WITH HIS PEOPLE.-IF YOU ARE GOING TO APPLY 48:11 REVELATION 4 THROUGH 22 FOR THE FUTURE, GOD HAS WRITTEN ALL OF 48:17 THE PROPHECIES FOR PEOPLE OF THE FUTURE, NOT FOR NOW. 48:22 IF YOU ARE PUTTING THEM IN THE PAST, YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A 48:27 GOD WHO IS NOT HERE TODAY. IN THAT IS NOT THE CHARACTER OF 48:30 GOD. HE REVEALS HIS SECRETS THROUGH 48:33 HIS PROFITS, AND THAT'S WHAT WE SEE IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION 48:38 PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. GOD HAS A MESSAGE OF EVERY 48:42 GENERATION OF PEOPLE ALL THE WAY TO THE END. 48:45 IT'S A BEAUTIFUL WAY TO UNDERSTAND THE BOOK OF 48:47 REVELATION, AND IT BEGINS TO MAKE SENSE WHEN YOU APPROACH IT 48:52 FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE. >> THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS VIEWS 48:58 THE CHURCH AS WORLDWIDE, RATHER THAN FOCUSING -- 49:02 >> ONE TIME, ONE NATION. I DO A WHOLE SERIES ON 49:14 REVELATION 12. JESUS IS BORN OF THE WOMAN. 49:17 THAT WOMAN EVENTS GOD'S CHURCH IN THE TIME OF CHRIST, BUT THEN 49:21 YOU HAVE A TRANSITION THAT TAKES PLACE, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T 49:28 WANT TO MAKE THAT TRANSITION, SO THE WAY THEY INTERPRET 49:33 REVELATION IS [ INAUDIBLE ] THEN IT IS ALL LITERAL, SO THE 49:37 144,000 ARE LITERAL JEWISH MALES THAT ARE VIRGINS, AND THEY ARE 49:41 GOING TO BE THE ONES TO PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL TO THE REST OF THE 49:46 WORLD AND REST OF TIME, AND THAT IS NOT THE WAY THE BOOK OF 49:51 REVELATIONS IS WRITTEN. ALL OF THE BOOK SHOWS US THE 49:56 144,000 ARE ACTUALLY CHRISTIANS. HEBREWS 1:1 IS IDENTIFYING THE 50:02 CHRISTIAN CHURCH. THE FIRST ROOTS, THAT IDENTIFIES 50:04 THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN JAMES -- JAMES 1:1, AND JAMES 17 50:12 AND 18. AND WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT 50:15 REVELATION CHAPTER 14 THAT THEY ARE VIRGIN, THAT'S THE CHRISTIAN 50:19 CHURCH. I WANT TO PRESENT YOU TO CHRIST 50:24 AS CHASTE VIRGINS, BUT I'M AFRAID YOU WILL BELIEVE IN OTHER 50:29 GOSPEL AND OTHER SPIRIT AND THAT YOU WILL BE DECEIVED BY SATAN 50:33 THE WAY THAT EVE WAS IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN. 50:36 SO ALL OF THE SYMBOLISM THAT WE APPLY TO LITERAL JEWS IS 50:41 ACTUALLY APPLIES TO THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN THE NEW 50:45 TESTAMENT. >> AND IT FITS THE PATTERN OF 50:47 ALL OF SCRIPTURE, YOU HAVE START OUT WITH A SMALL UNIT LIKE 50:52 ABRAHAM AND THEN HIS FAMILY GROWS, AND THEN IT IS A NATION, 50:58 AND THAT NATION IS SUPPOSED TO GO TO THE WORLD, AND IT DIDN'T 51:01 GO TO THE WORLD, SO GOD PLANNED IT SO THAT ANOTHER NATION WHO 51:06 WOULD BEAR THE FRUITS THEREOF WOULD TAKE IT TO THE WORLD. 51:09 >> YES. >> SO CAN JEWISH PEOPLE BE A 51:12 PART OF THAT? ABSOLUTELY. 51:15 >> ARE THEY THE FOUNDATION OF IT? 51:16 >> YEAH. OKAY. 51:18 >> OKAY?-BECAUSE WE SEE THEM AS THE JEWISH LEADERS THAT REPRESENTED 51:24 THE JEWISH CHURCH. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE 12 APOSTLES, 51:30 ALL OF THEM ARE JEWS. SO IT'S NOT THAT THE JEWISH 51:34 NATION WAS ABANDONED. THOUSANDS OF JEWS LAID THE 51:38 FOUNDATION OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. 51:40 ALL OF THE DISCIPLES WERE JEWS.-JESUS WAS A JEW. SO ALL OF THAT IS THERE, WE DO 51:47 NOT DISPARAGE THE JEWISH NATION. WE SIMPLY SAY THINK PURPOSE OF 51:55 GOD WAS TO REACH EVERYONE. THE JEWS WERE CHOSEN NOT BECAUSE 51:58 THEY WERE ANYTHING SPECIAL, BUT BECAUSE GOD CHOSE HIM BECAUSE 52:04 GOD IS LOVE. HE COULD HAVE CHOSEN ANY 52:07 SPECIFIC NATION OR PEOPLE. HE CHOSE ABRAHAM, AND ABRAHAM 52:16 BEGAN AS A GENTILE. >> I'M THINKING OF THE MANY 52:30 PHONE CALLS, EMAILS AND LETTERS THAT WE GET FROM OUR VIEWERS AND 52:34 LISTENERS THAT -- THAT LISTEN TO THE PROPHECY -- THE BIBLE 52:39 PROPHECIES THAT WE HAVE ON 3ABN, THAT TEACH WHAT YOU ARE TEACHING 52:43 TONIGHT -- >> IN MORE DETAIL. 52:45 >> YEAH, YOU HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLE TONIGHT. 52:48 AND THEY SAY, FINALLY IT MAKES SENSE. 52:52 IT JUST NEVER MADE SENSE BEFORE, BUT WHEN THEY -- 52:57 >> SEE THE BIG PICTURE. >> AND GET TRUE BIBLICAL 53:03 TEACHING, THEN THINGS FALL INTO PLACE FOR THEM. 53:05 >> LIKE YOU SAID, BRIAN, A LOT OF PREDATORISM IN OUR 53:11 EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS, A LOT OF FUTURISM IN JUST THE LAY PEOPLE. 53:17 I CAME OUT OF KATHLEEN SEB SEBELIUS -- CATHOLICISM. 53:26 AND I WAS LIKE THESE GUYS ARE CRAZY, THEY GO TO CHURCH ON 53:31 SATURDAY, WHAT IS THAT? AND WHEN I REALIZED, WHAT THIS 53:36 IS WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. 53:39 >> JAMES I ANTICIPATE THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WATCHING 53:43 THAT WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU COME TO THEIR CHURCH, THAT WOULD LOVE 53:46 TO KNOW HOW TO GET IN CONTACT WITH YOU. 53:49 SO I WANT US TO GIVE THE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR YOU NOW. 53:53 IF YOU WILL ROLL THE ROLE, PLEASE. 53:55 ♪ >> IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT 53:59 MORE ABOUT LIGHT BEARERS MINISTRY, YOU CAN DO SO IN A 54:04 VARIETY OF WAYS, YOU CAN WRITE TO LIGHT BEARERS MINISTRY, 37457 54:13 JASPER LOWELL RODE, JASPER, OREGON 97438. 54:20 YOU CAN CALL 541-988-3333.

WE HAVE GOT TWO MINUTES AND 10 54:55 SECONDS, I THINK NOW. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GIVE US 54:58 SOME NUGGET TO HOLD ON TO. >> AGAIN, I REALLY WANT TO TAKE 55:02 US BACK TO THE PICTURE IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION. 55:05 BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH WE TALKED ABOUT ISRAEL AND THE RAPTURE, 55:09 AND PREDATORISM, AND FUTURISM, THE MAIN VISION OF REVELATION IS 55:16 JESUS. MAYBE WE DISAGREE ON A FEW 55:18 POINTS, BUT LET'S NOT DISAGREE ON THIS. 55:21 JESUS IS THE CENTRAL FIGURE OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION. 55:24 THE LAMB IS THE STERN OF THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS, AND HE IS 55:29 INTRODUCED AS THE LAMB SLAIN, WHICH IS THE CROSS, CALVARY. 55:35 THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS INTRODUCES THAT CALVARY. 55:37 AND THAT SYMBOL IS USED 29 TIMES. 55:40 IT'S MENTIONED -- LAMB OF LAMBS IS MENTIONED IN THE BOOK OF 55:45 REVELATION. SO OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WE WANT 55:48 TO GO BACK TO JESUS CHRIST. IN REVELATION CHAPTER 14 IT 55:52 DESCRIBES THE 144,000. WE HAVE HAD A LITTLE TALK ABOUT 55:56 THAT. WHAT DO THEY REPRESENT? 55:57 I BELIEVE THEY REPRESENT GOD'S PEOPLE. 56:01 OLD TESTAMENT, NEW TESTAMENT, WHOEVER THEY ARE. 56:05 WHAT IS THE ONE THING THAT THEY DO? 56:07 IT SAYS IN REVELATION CHAPTER 14, 14:5, IT SAYS HERE -- VERSE 56:17 4. THESE ARE THEY WHICH ARE NOT 56:21 DEFILED WITH WOMEN FOR THEY HAVE VIRGINS. 56:24 THESE ARE THEY WHICH FOLLOW THE LAMB WHETHER SO EVER HE GOES. 56:31 WHEREVER HE GOES THEY FOLLOW JESUS. 56:34 >> AMEN. >> IF THERE IS ONE THOUGHT I 56:37 WANT TO LEAVE ALL OF OUR VIEWERS WITH TONIGHT, THAT'S THE 56:41 THOUGHT. IF YOU WANT SAFETY THROUGH THE 56:43 LAST DAYS, FOLLOW JESUS WHEREVER HE GOES. 56:46 KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE LAMB. >> AMEN. 56:49 BEAUTIFUL CLOSING THOUGHT. AND I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU 56:52 TO CALL NEXT WEEK, GET THE FREE OFFER, AND FAITH COMES BY 56:56 HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORLD. 56:59 BE SURE AND GET THE DVD, LISTEN TO IT OVER AND OVER. 57:04 SO WE WISH YOU A GOOD EVENING, AND WE PRAY GOD WILL CONTINUE TO 57:10 GREATLY BLESS YOU. ♪ |
