And Dona Klein at the
organ is one of those people
00:00:14.81\00:00:18.61
that God has
just given her a gift.
00:00:19.11\00:00:22.58
And over the last two years
00:00:28.12\00:00:32.29
Dona has written now
about ten different songs.
00:00:33.09\00:00:37.67
Beautiful songs. And
Maddy Couperus is going to
00:00:38.57\00:00:41.87
sing one of those
tonight for you. It's entitled
00:00:42.07\00:00:44.87
It Doesn't Matter.
00:00:45.07\00:00:46.68
I had no hope for tomorrow;
00:00:59.29\00:01:05.29
yesterday was dead and gone.
00:01:06.09\00:01:11.43
All my life was
filled with sorrow...
00:01:12.37\00:01:17.64
I had no reason to go on.
00:01:18.04\00:01:23.65
Then I found Jesus
00:01:24.18\00:01:29.95
and He changed
my life completely.
00:01:30.45\00:01:36.36
Feely forgave me
00:01:37.73\00:01:43.53
and in my heart put a song.
00:01:43.83\00:01:49.54
And it doesn't matter
00:01:50.84\00:01:56.81
where I have been.
00:01:58.01\00:02:03.39
When I gave my heart to Jesus
00:02:03.79\00:02:09.79
then the good life began.
00:02:10.53\00:02:16.46
Has someone left
you sad and lonely?
00:02:17.57\00:02:23.54
Alone to face
life's raging storm?
00:02:24.54\00:02:30.48
Have you sometimes ever wondered
00:02:30.88\00:02:36.85
why you even were born?
00:02:37.35\00:02:43.26
Come meet my Jesus...
00:02:43.93\00:02:49.83
He will heal
your every heartache.
00:02:50.33\00:02:56.30
Tenderly hold you
00:02:57.77\00:03:03.45
in His arms safe and warm.
00:03:03.85\00:03:09.65
And it doesn't matter
00:03:10.92\00:03:16.89
where you have been.
00:03:17.99\00:03:23.67
Come and give
Him all your burdens;
00:03:24.07\00:03:29.97
let the good life begin.
00:03:30.67\00:03:36.58
No, it really doesn't matter
00:03:37.08\00:03:43.05
where we have been.
00:03:45.05\00:03:50.63
Casting all our cares upon Him:
00:03:51.49\00:03:57.40
now the good life
00:03:58.47\00:04:01.84
begins.
00:04:02.24\00:04:08.14
Heavenly Father,
00:04:24.03\00:04:25.56
tonight as we look
at this great prophecy
00:04:27.53\00:04:32.07
we would like to
invite the Holy Spirit
00:04:33.60\00:04:36.10
to be in our presence.
00:04:36.94\00:04:38.77
Lord, may it
enlighten our minds.
00:04:39.67\00:04:43.85
We pray, Lord, that
our hearts may be open.
00:04:45.08\00:04:49.22
That they may be soft.
00:04:51.02\00:04:54.66
That the Holy Spirit may
be able to show us and lead us
00:04:55.06\00:04:58.93
and direct us that we might see
00:04:59.13\00:05:02.30
that Jesus Christ is
everything that He claims to be.
00:05:03.50\00:05:09.14
And that each one
of us here tonight
00:05:09.80\00:05:12.44
may reach out,
00:05:13.24\00:05:16.51
claim the things
that He has done for us.
00:05:17.05\00:05:19.78
For this we ask in
Christ's name, Amen.
00:05:20.18\00:05:23.49
I was holding a meeting in
the southern part of the US.
00:05:31.43\00:05:35.46
And to this meeting
came a couple young ladies.
00:05:37.00\00:05:41.20
One 17 years old...
the other 19 years old.
00:05:42.27\00:05:45.74
And after they had been
coming to the meeting for about
00:05:46.31\00:05:49.48
two weeks they came up
to me after the meeting
00:05:50.65\00:05:54.28
one night and
said: "Would you consider
00:05:54.48\00:05:57.69
being a witness for us? "
00:05:57.89\00:06:00.79
And I said: "I
don't know what you mean.
00:06:01.52\00:06:04.03
What are you talking about? "
00:06:04.23\00:06:05.56
And they said:
"Well, we've got to appear
00:06:05.63\00:06:09.66
before a judge and we
would like for you to be
00:06:09.86\00:06:13.20
a character witness for us. "
00:06:13.40\00:06:15.04
And I said: "I still don't
understand what's going on. "
00:06:15.87\00:06:19.17
And they said:
"Well, we were arrested
00:06:19.67\00:06:23.88
and we need a
character witness. "
00:06:24.08\00:06:27.68
And I said: "What
were you arrested for? "
00:06:27.88\00:06:29.52
And they said:
"Oh, we were arrested
00:06:29.92\00:06:31.75
for dealing drugs. "
00:06:31.95\00:06:33.29
And said: "We would like for
you to be a character witness
00:06:33.66\00:06:38.29
for us. " And I said:
"Well, I'll tell you what:
00:06:38.49\00:06:40.63
I'll be happy to go
to the court with you
00:06:40.83\00:06:43.43
and I'll be happy to tell
the judge you've been coming
00:06:43.63\00:06:45.97
to the meetings each
night. I'll be more than happy
00:06:46.17\00:06:47.84
to do that. " And they
said: "OK...if you'll do that. "
00:06:48.04\00:06:50.87
I said: "I'll be
happy to do that. "
00:06:51.07\00:06:52.54
So we went to court.
00:06:52.94\00:06:55.24
A little bit and the
judge talked to the girls.
00:06:55.44\00:06:58.05
He said: "I understand you
have a character witness. "
00:06:58.51\00:07:00.92
And so called me up
00:07:01.12\00:07:02.72
and I told him that these girls
had been coming every night
00:07:02.92\00:07:05.42
to the meetings
for about two weeks
00:07:05.62\00:07:07.06
and they have shown an interest
in God's Word and all that.
00:07:07.26\00:07:11.36
And the judge said: "Thank
you" and he turned to the girls
00:07:11.56\00:07:14.36
and he said: "I'll
tell you what. " He said:
00:07:14.56\00:07:16.13
"I'll make it easy on you. "
00:07:16.97\00:07:18.80
He said: "I'll
make it easy on you. "
00:07:19.80\00:07:21.64
"You tell me who's
selling you the drugs
00:07:22.04\00:07:26.34
and I'll drop everything. "
00:07:26.64\00:07:29.88
And these girls said:
"We're not going to tell you
00:07:31.81\00:07:34.68
who's selling us the drugs. "
00:07:34.88\00:07:36.22
And the judge said:
"Let me tell you something:
00:07:36.82\00:07:40.32
"If you don't tell me
who's selling you the drugs,
00:07:41.09\00:07:43.53
I'm going to
throw the book at you. "
00:07:43.73\00:07:45.06
And the girls said:
"Well we're not telling you
00:07:46.63\00:07:48.63
who sold... who we
bought the drugs from. "
00:07:48.83\00:07:50.97
The judge said:
"I'll tell you what:
00:07:52.17\00:07:53.50
I'm going to give you 3
days to think it over. "
00:07:53.64\00:07:55.44
And he said: "In three
days I want you back here
00:07:56.37\00:07:58.51
in court and you
can decide whether
00:07:58.71\00:08:00.71
you're going to tell me
or whether you're not. "
00:08:00.91\00:08:02.28
So we left, and when the
girls came to the meeting
00:08:03.28\00:08:05.85
that night I said: "Have you
decided what you're going to do?
00:08:06.05\00:08:09.48
" And they said: "Oh,
we're not going to tell him. "
00:08:09.72\00:08:11.19
And I said: "That judge is
going to let you have it. "
00:08:11.49\00:08:15.02
And they said: "Nah,
he's not going to do it. "
00:08:15.42\00:08:17.73
Said: "He's not
going to do it. "
00:08:18.13\00:08:19.49
I said: "Let me
tell you something:
00:08:19.69\00:08:21.13
that judge is not
playing around with you.
00:08:21.53\00:08:23.50
He's going to
throw the book at you. "
00:08:23.70\00:08:25.37
They said: "No, he's not
going to do anything like that
00:08:26.27\00:08:28.97
and we're not going to tell
who we've been buying the drugs
00:08:29.17\00:08:32.04
from. " So in three
days we went back to court.
00:08:32.24\00:08:35.51
I went with the girls.
00:08:35.71\00:08:37.05
Judge called them up and said:
00:08:37.18\00:08:39.11
"Who... who have you
been buying the drugs from? "
00:08:40.05\00:08:43.02
"Oh, " they said: "Judge,
we're not going to tell you. "
00:08:43.42\00:08:45.42
And the judge
said: "I'm asking you...
00:08:46.39\00:08:48.86
you tell me who you're
buying the drugs from. "
00:08:49.06\00:08:51.79
And they said: "No judge,
we're not going to tell you. "
00:08:52.19\00:08:54.33
And I watched...
00:08:54.53\00:08:56.16
I watched as that judge
00:08:56.77\00:08:59.20
sentenced one girl
to 17 years in prison
00:08:59.60\00:09:03.14
and the other girl to 25 years.
00:09:03.74\00:09:06.37
I watched the blood
drain out of their faces.
00:09:06.78\00:09:11.48
Sobbing, I watched the
guards carry them off to prison.
00:09:12.18\00:09:16.75
And I turned to the
judge and I said: "Judge,
00:09:18.92\00:09:21.09
do you understand
what you've done? "
00:09:21.29\00:09:23.02
And he said:
"What do you mean? "
00:09:23.96\00:09:25.29
And I said: "These girls
were coming to my meetings!
00:09:25.33\00:09:28.06
There was some chance
that maybe they might give
00:09:28.26\00:09:31.23
their heart to the Lord
and He could change their life
00:09:31.43\00:09:33.84
and make them different.
And now look what you've done!
00:09:34.04\00:09:36.20
You've put them in prison
and I can't even get to them. "
00:09:36.40\00:09:38.84
He said: "Oh, I'll solve that. "
00:09:39.04\00:09:40.44
He just wrote out a note and
he said: "All you've gotta do
00:09:40.84\00:09:42.44
is show this and
they'll let you in any time. "
00:09:42.64\00:09:44.38
So I went in to see the girls.
00:09:47.65\00:09:51.39
To say that they were shook
up is to put it mildly, folks.
00:09:51.59\00:09:56.52
And I said: "I told you
he was going to do this. "
00:09:57.46\00:10:00.40
I said: "You wouldn't
believe me; I told you he was
00:10:00.90\00:10:02.93
going to do this. " I
said: "Why don't you tell him? "
00:10:03.13\00:10:06.67
And I don't know where I
got the crazy idea, folks,
00:10:08.80\00:10:12.71
but I said: "If these people
that are selling you the drugs -
00:10:13.11\00:10:16.98
selling the drugs to
you - told you to tell him
00:10:17.18\00:10:19.48
would you tell him? "
00:10:19.88\00:10:21.22
They said: "Ah, they
would never do that. "
00:10:21.78\00:10:24.35
And I said: "Let
me talk to them. "
00:10:25.05\00:10:27.22
"Let me talk to them. "
00:10:28.12\00:10:29.46
So after this they said: "OK"
00:10:31.53\00:10:33.50
and they wrote out a note.
00:10:33.90\00:10:36.03
Told me where to take
that note and who to contact
00:10:36.43\00:10:39.10
and arrangements would be made.
00:10:39.30\00:10:41.37
Well, I took the note
and arrangements were made.
00:10:42.44\00:10:45.81
They sent me back a note
and said: "We'll meet you
00:10:46.21\00:10:48.58
Tuesday night at
Pier 11 at 11 o'clock. "
00:10:48.78\00:10:51.85
I've got to admit one of the
scaredist I think I've ever been
00:10:54.38\00:10:58.09
in my life 'cause I
waked down Pier 9 there.
00:10:58.29\00:11:03.83
There wasn't a light
on... it was pitch dark.
00:11:04.03\00:11:07.66
11 o'clock at night
standing there by myself
00:11:08.06\00:11:11.40
scared to death.
00:11:11.80\00:11:13.34
And finally down the
pier came these two men
00:11:14.17\00:11:17.81
dressed in business suits.
00:11:18.01\00:11:20.28
I mean nice
looking... neat, clean...
00:11:21.31\00:11:26.01
regular businessmen.
00:11:26.58\00:11:28.75
And we had quite a conversation.
00:11:30.45\00:11:33.36
And I finally said to
them: "You know, how can you...
00:11:34.59\00:11:37.53
how can you let two girls:
one go to prison for 17 years,
00:11:38.09\00:11:41.73
another one go to
prison for 25 years.
00:11:41.93\00:11:43.53
How can you do that? "
00:11:43.73\00:11:45.07
So after we talked a
while they said: "OK, "
00:11:45.93\00:11:48.10
they said, "You tell
the girls they can tell them
00:11:49.34\00:11:52.27
but you can't take this note
to the girls for 24 hours. "
00:11:53.38\00:11:57.41
And so I
assured them I wouldn't.
00:11:58.55\00:12:00.65
They wrote the note
telling the girls to tell them.
00:12:01.55\00:12:03.75
And 24 hours later I
took it to the girls.
00:12:04.75\00:12:08.46
The girls told the
judge. I'll never forget it.
00:12:08.66\00:12:11.13
Of course, I'm sure those
men were gone long by then.
00:12:11.53\00:12:15.63
But what I'm trying to
tell you, dear friends,
00:12:15.83\00:12:18.13
is every one of
us here tonight -
00:12:18.33\00:12:20.40
I don't care who you are -
00:12:20.70\00:12:22.50
every last one of us here
00:12:22.70\00:12:25.41
are going to have to stand
before the judgment bar of God
00:12:25.61\00:12:28.64
for the Scripture tells us that.
00:12:29.61\00:12:31.48
Ecclesiastes 12:14:
00:12:33.05\00:12:36.12
Going to bring it
all into judgment.
00:12:48.16\00:12:50.33
It doesn't make any difference.
00:12:50.53\00:12:52.97
And dear friend, let
me tell you something:
00:12:53.17\00:12:55.57
it's here!
00:12:55.97\00:12:57.57
It's here during this
life. There's not such a thing
00:12:57.77\00:13:00.68
as a second chance.
00:13:00.88\00:13:03.14
That doesn't exist... it's now.
00:13:03.55\00:13:05.88
Take it or leave
it... it's your last chance.
00:13:06.08\00:13:08.98
There's not another opportunity.
00:13:09.18\00:13:11.62
For the Scripture makes that
clear in the book of Hebrews...
00:13:11.82\00:13:14.52
Hebrews 9:27:
00:13:14.72\00:13:16.22
Scripture is absolutely clear.
It says: "It's appointed unto
00:13:25.53\00:13:28.50
men to die once.
After that the judgment. "
00:13:28.70\00:13:31.67
What's going to happen then?
00:13:31.87\00:13:33.24
It says very clear
man's going to die;
00:13:46.32\00:13:49.16
after that's going
to be the judgment.
00:13:49.36\00:13:51.39
Jesus is going to come!
00:13:51.59\00:13:53.90
That's clear;
that's what it says.
00:13:54.60\00:13:56.70
So you and I have this time now.
00:13:57.37\00:14:00.74
You don't have
some future time...
00:14:01.14\00:14:04.64
you have today. And it
says God is going to bring
00:14:04.84\00:14:08.78
EVERY work into judgment.
00:14:08.98\00:14:10.95
Now I've told you. We
studied Bible prophecy.
00:14:11.71\00:14:16.15
I've tried to lay a
foundation to help you.
00:14:17.39\00:14:19.89
Now you can begin to apply
00:14:20.39\00:14:23.09
some of the things
that you have learned.
00:14:23.29\00:14:25.09
Notice what it says here
in Daniel the 7th chapter
00:14:25.29\00:14:28.66
and verse 21, OK?
00:14:28.86\00:14:31.27
Did you put
some things together?
00:15:06.37\00:15:08.40
It talked about the little horn.
00:15:09.27\00:15:11.54
We studied that little horn. OK?
00:15:11.94\00:15:14.28
And it says that when the
little horn came down to an end
00:15:14.68\00:15:18.55
that the judgment would begin.
00:15:18.75\00:15:20.82
That's what it's saying here.
00:15:21.02\00:15:22.62
And in our study of
Daniel the 7th chapter
00:15:22.82\00:15:25.69
we identified that
little horn as? Papal Rome.
00:15:25.89\00:15:30.93
So it said that as Papal
Rome would come to an end
00:15:31.79\00:15:37.17
the judgment would begin.
00:15:37.37\00:15:39.73
And when the
judgment came to an end
00:15:39.93\00:15:42.77
the saints would
possess the? Kingdom!
00:15:42.97\00:15:46.47
Are you putting it together?
00:15:46.68\00:15:48.01
Step by step that's
what the Scripture is saying.
00:15:48.18\00:15:50.45
Well you remember in our study
00:15:50.65\00:15:52.45
Daniel 7:25... listen carefully:
00:15:52.65\00:15:55.28
So it says that little horn,
the saints were going to be
00:16:01.82\00:16:05.16
given into his hand for a time,
times, and a dividing of time.
00:16:05.36\00:16:10.10
Listen carefully:
00:16:10.30\00:16:11.63
Saints are going to
be given into his hand
00:16:15.47\00:16:17.77
for a time,
times, and a half a time
00:16:17.97\00:16:20.94
then the court is going to
be seated. That means judgment.
00:16:21.14\00:16:25.01
All right?
00:16:25.21\00:16:26.75
When did they take
away his dominion, folks?
00:16:30.72\00:16:34.09
Napoleon came in
and overthrew it when?
00:16:36.12\00:16:39.89
February 15, 1798.
00:16:40.30\00:16:43.90
Are you putting it together?
00:16:44.10\00:16:45.43
All right... that's
when his dominion ended.
00:16:45.63\00:16:48.10
"They shall take away
his dominion to consume
00:16:48.30\00:16:51.37
and destroy it forever. "
00:16:51.57\00:16:53.34
Now as we have studied
the Scriptures God said
00:16:53.74\00:16:56.64
that He gave us how
much? A day for each year.
00:16:56.85\00:17:00.72
That's what He's
told us it represents.
00:17:00.92\00:17:02.88
OK.
00:17:03.08\00:17:04.52
Said the saints would be
given into his hand for a time,
00:17:04.72\00:17:09.56
times, and a half a time.
00:17:09.76\00:17:11.79
We found out
that in Bible prophecy
00:17:11.99\00:17:14.10
a time represented one year. OK?
00:17:14.30\00:17:18.47
That would be 360 days.
00:17:18.67\00:17:21.10
Times would represent 2
years which would be 720.
00:17:21.30\00:17:25.27
And a half a time would be 180.
00:17:25.47\00:17:28.84
If you add those together
it gives you 1,260 days...
00:17:29.04\00:17:35.02
each day representing a year.
00:17:35.22\00:17:37.19
We found out in our
study that the papal power
00:17:37.39\00:17:40.39
came to power in the
year of 538 AD. Right?
00:17:40.59\00:17:45.76
And it says that it was
going to be given into his hand
00:17:45.96\00:17:48.96
for 1,260 years.
00:17:49.16\00:17:51.30
If I add 1,260 years to 538 AD
00:17:51.70\00:17:56.17
it takes me to 1798 AD.
00:17:56.37\00:17:59.81
OK... that is the period.
00:18:00.41\00:18:02.58
And it says when
that period ended
00:18:02.78\00:18:05.05
the court would be seated.
00:18:05.25\00:18:07.88
Are you with me?
00:18:08.72\00:18:10.05
Now, folks, watch very carefully
00:18:10.29\00:18:12.92
'cause that's Daniel 7.
00:18:13.12\00:18:15.19
We're moving into Daniel 8.
00:18:15.39\00:18:17.66
Watch what begins to happen.
00:18:17.86\00:18:19.76
So it says that this
power, this little horn,
00:18:39.91\00:18:42.45
it prospered
during the 1,260 years.
00:18:42.65\00:18:46.12
That's what it's saying.
00:18:46.52\00:18:47.86
Now watch... we're Daniel 8.
00:18:47.89\00:18:49.62
He's saying: "How long
is this going to go on? "
00:19:05.77\00:19:09.01
Because it said that
little horn would prosper,
00:19:09.21\00:19:11.28
it would cast the
truth to the ground,
00:19:11.48\00:19:13.08
it would do these
things. He said: "How long
00:19:13.28\00:19:15.52
is this going to go on? " Watch:
00:19:15.72\00:19:17.79
All right... now
let's put it together.
00:19:32.73\00:19:35.47
He's saying: "How long
is this going to go on? "
00:19:36.77\00:19:38.87
It was going to go
on for 1,260 years.
00:19:39.07\00:19:42.18
All right? Then he said
when that's going to be over
00:19:42.38\00:19:46.21
and then he said
there would be 2,300 days
00:19:46.41\00:19:51.02
or 2,300 years.
00:19:51.22\00:19:53.69
When Daniel had this vision
in the 8th chapter, folks,
00:19:54.39\00:19:57.13
he didn't understand it.
00:19:57.53\00:19:59.03
Couldn't put it together.
00:20:00.60\00:20:02.00
And you come to the last verse
00:20:02.20\00:20:04.67
of the 8th chapter of Daniel
00:20:04.87\00:20:06.63
and it reads like this:
00:20:06.84\00:20:08.24
Couldn't put it together.
00:20:25.29\00:20:26.86
So in the 9th chapter of
Daniel Daniel begins to pray
00:20:27.52\00:20:31.76
that God will help him
understand this vision.
00:20:31.96\00:20:35.03
And as Daniel is praying
00:20:35.46\00:20:37.67
asking God to
reveal this vision to him
00:20:37.87\00:20:40.44
all of a sudden
God sends an angel
00:20:40.64\00:20:43.97
by the name of Gabriel.
00:20:44.17\00:20:46.27
So that angel Gabriel, folks,
00:21:17.91\00:21:20.04
is come to explain
this vision to Daniel.
00:21:20.24\00:21:23.48
What vision is he explaining?
00:21:23.88\00:21:25.38
He's explaining this 2,300 days.
00:21:25.58\00:21:29.45
That's what he's explaining.
00:21:29.65\00:21:30.99
So watch, now, as
Daniel takes it through.
00:21:31.15\00:21:34.09
And those of you that are here
00:21:34.29\00:21:36.29
who have some
questions about Jesus Christ
00:21:36.49\00:21:39.19
being all that He claimed to be
00:21:39.39\00:21:41.20
then I'd like to invite you to
follow me very very carefully.
00:21:41.60\00:21:47.00
Daniel 9:24... angel
Gabriel speaking to Daniel.
00:21:49.60\00:21:53.58
He says: "Daniel... "
00:21:53.78\00:21:55.11
Who is Daniel's people?
00:22:00.02\00:22:02.08
The Jewish people...
that's Daniel's people.
00:22:04.52\00:22:07.16
So he said: "Seventy weeks
are determined for your people,
00:22:07.56\00:22:11.89
Daniel. " Now watch:
00:22:12.09\00:22:13.83
How can I know when
the prophecy starts?
00:22:25.07\00:22:27.34
The angel Gabriel does
not leave you in any doubt
00:22:27.54\00:22:30.88
whatsoever.
Listen to these words:
00:22:31.08\00:22:33.05
Daniel 9:25:
00:22:33.25\00:22:35.48
Until what? Messiah. OK.
00:22:43.36\00:22:46.70
Here we go.
00:22:46.90\00:22:48.36
Those of you that
are having questions
00:22:48.86\00:22:50.47
about Jesus
Christ watch clearly:
00:22:50.67\00:22:52.73
The Jewish
people are in captivity.
00:22:59.54\00:23:02.01
They've been in
captivity in Babylon;
00:23:02.64\00:23:04.75
they're now in
captivity to Medo-Persia.
00:23:04.95\00:23:07.32
And he's told him
"When the decree goes forth"
00:23:07.52\00:23:11.25
OK? "for them to go
back and rebuild Jerusalem
00:23:11.45\00:23:15.72
unto the Messiah... "
00:23:15.92\00:23:18.29
So he's told him here clearly.
00:23:28.34\00:23:30.11
Said: "Daniel, 70 weeks
are determined on your people.
00:23:30.31\00:23:33.34
Understand, Daniel, from the
going forth of the commandment
00:23:33.74\00:23:37.91
to restore and build Jerusalem
00:23:38.11\00:23:39.61
unto the Messiah, the Prince,
00:23:39.81\00:23:42.38
will be 69 weeks. "
00:23:42.58\00:23:45.52
That's what the angel
Gabriel has just told him.
00:23:46.55\00:23:48.99
OK. When was the decree given
00:23:49.76\00:23:53.40
to restore and build Jerusalem?
00:23:53.60\00:23:55.13
Well, there were three
decrees that were given.
00:23:55.33\00:23:57.10
Cyrus gave a decree
00:23:57.93\00:23:59.57
sending them back
to re-build the temple.
00:23:59.77\00:24:01.80
Later Darius gave a decree
00:24:02.00\00:24:05.34
which helped them
finish building the temple.
00:24:05.54\00:24:07.98
A little later than that a king
by the name of Artaxerxes...
00:24:08.18\00:24:12.15
Artaxerxes sent Nehemiah back
00:24:12.45\00:24:15.42
and he re-built the
walls and the gates.
00:24:15.62\00:24:18.55
But it wasn't until
Artaxerxes made a decree
00:24:18.95\00:24:22.76
that gave to Ezra
the right to go back
00:24:22.96\00:24:26.63
and to elect
judges and magistrates
00:24:26.83\00:24:30.73
and set Israel back as a nation
00:24:30.93\00:24:35.37
that that decree
really went into effect.
00:24:35.57\00:24:38.07
This decree is
recorded in Ezra the 7th chapter
00:24:38.27\00:24:41.04
and verse 12. And it says:
00:24:41.24\00:24:43.91
That decree was given
by King Artaxerxes, folks,
00:25:06.23\00:25:10.24
in the year 457 BC.
00:25:10.64\00:25:15.31
So you have a starting date.
00:25:15.81\00:25:18.38
That was a decree that
was given for them to go back
00:25:18.88\00:25:22.08
and re-build Jerusalem: 457 BC.
00:25:22.28\00:25:26.69
He said from there
it would be 69 weeks
00:25:26.89\00:25:30.69
unto the what? Messiah.
00:25:30.89\00:25:36.03
OK... we have a little
key that we keep referring to.
00:25:38.07\00:25:41.40
I don't want you to forget it.
00:25:41.80\00:25:43.27
'Cause if we're
dealing with 2,300 days
00:25:43.47\00:25:46.34
in Bible prophecy
that would be? 2,300 years.
00:25:46.54\00:25:51.31
So that's a principle
that's there in Scripture
00:26:02.32\00:26:04.53
telling you that a
day represents a year.
00:26:04.73\00:26:06.53
Now let's watch as we see
how the Bible puts it together.
00:26:06.73\00:26:10.67
In prophetic Bible
prophecy, a prophetic day equals
00:26:11.07\00:26:14.80
one literal year. All right:
00:26:15.00\00:26:18.67
So if I've got 69 weeks
00:26:35.79\00:26:38.69
my starting date is 457 BC.
00:26:38.89\00:26:44.00
OK... here we go.
00:26:44.20\00:26:46.43
457 BC - starting date -
so I'm going to put them down.
00:26:47.44\00:26:52.61
Now if I've got 69 weeks...
00:26:53.01\00:26:55.54
right? And how many
days are there in a week?
00:26:55.74\00:26:59.78
Seven days in a week.
00:27:01.35\00:27:02.92
So I have to
multiply 7 times 69... right?
00:27:03.12\00:27:09.12
If I multiply 7 times 69
00:27:09.96\00:27:14.33
that equals 483.
00:27:14.53\00:27:19.17
Now in BC dates, folks,
00:27:19.57\00:27:22.00
BC dates you subtract.
00:27:22.20\00:27:24.47
AD dates we add, we know,
but BC dates you must subtract.
00:27:24.67\00:27:28.24
So I have to subtract
00:27:28.44\00:27:30.41
483 from 457.
00:27:30.61\00:27:34.98
Are you with me?
00:27:36.18\00:27:37.52
If I subtract 483 from 457
00:27:37.82\00:27:43.73
that will take me to the date
00:27:43.93\00:27:47.63
of 27 AD.
00:27:47.83\00:27:52.50
OK? There it is.
00:27:52.70\00:27:54.64
If I subtract 457 from 483
00:27:54.84\00:28:00.18
takes me to 27 AD.
00:28:00.38\00:28:02.48
Now folks,
something has to happen.
00:28:02.68\00:28:06.15
Something has to take place.
00:28:06.35\00:28:08.35
Because Daniel has said
back here... way back in 500 BC
00:28:08.55\00:28:12.95
he said it's 69
weeks or 483 years
00:28:13.15\00:28:17.56
unto the Messiah the Prince.
00:28:17.76\00:28:21.13
Watch what happens, folks.
00:28:21.53\00:28:24.83
Luke the third chapter verse 1:
00:28:27.14\00:28:30.41
OK... that's Luke
the third chapter.
00:28:38.25\00:28:40.42
Watch the third
chapter verse 21:
00:28:40.62\00:28:42.68
Are you getting the picture?
00:29:05.27\00:29:06.61
Right there Jesus was
baptized; He began His ministry.
00:29:07.18\00:29:12.48
You want to see
an interesting fact?
00:29:12.68\00:29:14.28
Dear friend, tonight if
you don't believe this Book,
00:29:25.49\00:29:28.43
if you don't believe that
Jesus Christ was the Messiah,
00:29:28.63\00:29:31.27
answer that for me.
00:29:31.47\00:29:33.03
Answer it for me...
tell me how that can be.
00:29:34.10\00:29:36.44
Tell me anybody else -
00:29:37.51\00:29:39.84
anybody else in
the whole wide world -
00:29:40.04\00:29:42.81
that fits that time sequence.
00:29:43.01\00:29:45.41
Jesus Christ alone is the only
one that fits that time sequence
00:29:46.41\00:29:51.35
and He was born
exactly right on time
00:29:51.55\00:29:55.12
and He began His
ministry exactly on time!
00:29:55.32\00:29:59.49
There's nobody
else. Jesus Christ alone
00:30:01.73\00:30:06.30
is the One that fits that.
00:30:06.50\00:30:08.94
If you're intellectually honest,
00:30:10.14\00:30:12.24
if you're intellectually honest,
00:30:13.38\00:30:14.81
you've got to do
something with that.
00:30:15.21\00:30:17.28
You can't see that
00:30:18.18\00:30:20.32
and look at that
square in the face
00:30:20.52\00:30:22.12
and say: "Well, all these
prophecies about Him being
00:30:23.12\00:30:26.99
the Messiah... "
There's over 300 of them
00:30:27.19\00:30:28.62
in the Old Testament...
"they don't have any meaning. "
00:30:28.82\00:30:31.73
Indeed they do
have meaning, friends.
00:30:33.36\00:30:35.43
He is the Savior of
mankind. But let's go on.
00:30:36.03\00:30:39.23
The angel Gabriel
has said to Daniel
00:30:41.70\00:30:43.54
how many weeks was
determined upon his people?
00:30:43.74\00:30:45.67
Seventy weeks.
00:30:46.07\00:30:47.51
Well, we have looked at 69.
00:30:49.48\00:30:53.85
That's how many we've looked at.
00:30:54.05\00:30:55.45
So if we've looked at 69 weeks
00:30:55.85\00:30:58.52
69 weeks brought
us down to 27 AD.
00:30:58.72\00:31:02.49
So I still have one week left.
00:31:03.19\00:31:05.86
Right? You with me?
00:31:07.03\00:31:08.36
"Seventy weeks are
determined on your people. "
00:31:08.66\00:31:10.77
We've looked at 69 so
that leaves me one week.
00:31:10.97\00:31:14.90
This last week, folks,
is extremely important.
00:31:15.30\00:31:19.07
Look at it very very carefully.
00:31:19.47\00:31:22.81
"And he... " Daniel 9:27...
00:31:23.21\00:31:25.81
Now he's speaking
of the Messiah here.
00:31:39.39\00:31:41.53
And it says that He
would confirm the covenant.
00:31:41.93\00:31:47.74
And by the way, I run onto some
people that want to apply that
00:31:47.94\00:31:50.87
to the antichrist
rather than Jesus Christ.
00:31:51.07\00:31:54.64
Let me tell you something:
there is nowhere in this Book,
00:31:54.84\00:31:58.28
absolutely nowhere in this Book,
00:31:58.48\00:32:00.38
does it ever refer to the
antichrist and the covenant.
00:32:00.58\00:32:03.75
The covenant always
refers to Jesus Christ.
00:32:04.55\00:32:07.99
Never, never does it
ever refer to an antichrist.
00:32:08.39\00:32:12.03
Just does not do that.
00:32:12.23\00:32:13.60
When it says He would
confirm the covenant with many
00:32:13.80\00:32:16.16
for one week that can't be
talking about anything other
00:32:16.36\00:32:19.50
than Jesus Christ.
00:32:19.70\00:32:21.14
"And He shall bring an end
to sacrifices and offerings. "
00:32:21.34\00:32:25.97
Well, let's see
what we're going to do.
00:32:26.27\00:32:28.48
We have this seventh
week right here... 27 AD.
00:32:28.88\00:32:34.08
Said in the middle of the week
00:32:34.48\00:32:37.22
going to cause the sacrifices
and oblations to cease.
00:32:37.42\00:32:40.32
Well, if I've got 7
and I go to half of it
00:32:40.72\00:32:44.26
that's how much?
Three and a half.
00:32:44.46\00:32:47.06
So if I go 3-1/2...
00:32:47.26\00:32:49.50
if I go 3-1/2 from 27 AD
00:32:49.90\00:32:53.94
it says that Jesus would bring
the sacrifices and oblations
00:32:54.14\00:32:59.21
to an end. Let's
see what happens.
00:32:59.41\00:33:02.74
They've taken Christ... they've
taken Him out to Golgotha
00:33:04.05\00:33:09.48
and they've hung Him on a cross.
00:33:10.69\00:33:12.39
While He's
hanging there on the cross
00:33:13.96\00:33:16.02
down in
Jerusalem the high priest -
00:33:16.22\00:33:20.70
or a priest I should say
- is about ready to offer
00:33:20.90\00:33:24.33
a sacrificial
lamb. Has his hand raised
00:33:24.53\00:33:30.04
to take the life of that
lamb when all of a sudden
00:33:30.34\00:33:32.77
this veil, this huge
veil that separated the Holy
00:33:32.97\00:33:36.75
and the Most Holy
Place, began to tear at the top
00:33:36.95\00:33:40.02
and it tore all
the way to the bottom.
00:33:40.42\00:33:42.78
It's recorded here in
Mark the 15th chapter verse 38.
00:33:42.98\00:33:47.36
Now dear friends, the
famous historian Josephus
00:33:54.43\00:33:58.77
describes that event.
And he says when that veil
00:33:58.97\00:34:02.20
tore from top to
bottom that that priest
00:34:02.60\00:34:05.97
dropped his knife. And
he said he went running out
00:34:06.17\00:34:08.68
of the temple
yelling "Ichabod! Ichabod! "
00:34:08.88\00:34:11.51
Which meant
that the glory of God
00:34:11.91\00:34:14.32
had departed from the temple.
00:34:14.52\00:34:16.69
Why? Because the
Lamb of God had died.
00:34:17.19\00:34:20.99
The sacrifices,
oblations, offerings:
00:34:21.79\00:34:25.56
they came to an end.
The sacrifice had been paid
00:34:25.76\00:34:29.46
for all mankind.
00:34:29.66\00:34:32.37
No longer... no
longer, dear friend,
00:34:32.77\00:34:36.20
do we need to bring a sacrifice.
00:34:36.40\00:34:38.44
He was the sacrifice.
00:34:39.44\00:34:41.91
The whole sacrificial system
00:34:42.31\00:34:46.01
came to an end just exactly as
the Scripture declared it would.
00:34:46.21\00:34:51.75
31 AD is when that took place.
00:34:52.49\00:34:56.56
31 AD.
00:34:56.76\00:34:59.16
OK... if I have three and a half
00:34:59.36\00:35:05.13
brought me to 31 AD,
00:35:05.33\00:35:07.60
I still have how much left?
00:35:07.80\00:35:09.54
Three and a half
cause we divided seven.
00:35:10.74\00:35:12.84
So I've got 3-1/2.
00:35:13.04\00:35:14.38
So if I add 3-1/2 to 31 AD
00:35:14.51\00:35:18.11
that's going to
take me to 34 AD.
00:35:18.31\00:35:22.95
34 AD.
00:35:23.75\00:35:25.32
Do you still have
doubts about this Book?
00:35:29.56\00:35:31.46
Do you still have
questions about it?
00:35:32.53\00:35:34.36
Are you not convinced
yet that you can trust it?
00:35:35.23\00:35:39.77
Not far along
enough to say: "Well,
00:35:41.40\00:35:45.74
God will do what He says? "
00:35:45.94\00:35:48.08
If you're that way, then listen.
00:35:49.38\00:35:52.88
He said: "Daniel, seventy weeks
00:35:53.08\00:35:56.25
are determined
upon thy people. "
00:35:56.45\00:35:58.65
That seventy weeks,
dear friend, came to an end
00:35:58.85\00:36:02.32
in 34 AD.
00:36:02.52\00:36:05.03
Daniel's people were
the Jewish people. OK?
00:36:05.99\00:36:10.03
It's going to
come to an end 34 AD.
00:36:10.23\00:36:13.97
Now let's watch...
watch what happens.
00:36:15.80\00:36:19.07
There's a young man.
00:36:21.81\00:36:23.58
Very articulate.
00:36:24.71\00:36:26.41
Great powers of reasoning.
00:36:26.82\00:36:28.98
And he has gone throughout
all of Israel preaching...
00:36:29.38\00:36:32.99
preaching that Jesus
Christ IS the Messiah.
00:36:33.19\00:36:37.39
And not only just preaching,
folks. He's taking this very
00:36:37.79\00:36:40.40
prophecy... this very prophecy
we're talking about tonight...
00:36:40.60\00:36:43.83
and he has
explained that with detail
00:36:44.03\00:36:46.80
and showed how that
Jesus met every point exactly
00:36:47.00\00:36:50.81
as Scripture said. And
his reasoning was so strong
00:36:51.01\00:36:55.08
that they couldn't
find anything wrong with it.
00:36:55.28\00:36:57.48
And hundreds and hundreds - a
multitude the Scripture says -
00:36:57.68\00:37:01.62
of priests even believed.
00:37:01.82\00:37:04.05
They were
accepting Jesus Christ.
00:37:04.45\00:37:06.59
So many were giving
their hearts to Christ
00:37:07.26\00:37:10.19
that the
Sanhedrin had him arrested.
00:37:11.09\00:37:14.50
They brought this
young man in before them
00:37:15.56\00:37:17.93
and they gave him an
opportunity to defend himself.
00:37:18.33\00:37:23.41
And he picked up the Scripture
00:37:24.54\00:37:26.47
and he began to take
these prophecies and he began to
00:37:26.78\00:37:30.61
explain how Christ
fulfilled every one of them.
00:37:30.81\00:37:33.55
And his arguments were so sound,
00:37:34.52\00:37:37.02
his reasoning so right,
00:37:37.22\00:37:39.45
that they couldn't take it.
00:37:39.65\00:37:41.36
In fact, the Scripture says
00:37:41.86\00:37:43.36
that they got to the place
that they couldn't stand it
00:37:43.56\00:37:45.73
and they stuck their
fingers in their ears.
00:37:45.93\00:37:48.36
And he said to them: "Oh,
you uncircumcised of heart!
00:37:49.23\00:37:52.97
How long will you
cease to believe? "
00:37:53.17\00:37:55.54
And they grabbed him, and
they drug him outside the city.
00:37:55.94\00:38:00.28
They took off their coats
00:38:01.78\00:38:03.51
and they laid them at
the feet of a young man
00:38:04.65\00:38:07.12
by the name of Saul of Tarsus
00:38:07.32\00:38:10.52
and they stoned
Stephen to death.
00:38:10.72\00:38:14.16
Saul of Tarsus a few days later
00:38:16.66\00:38:20.63
has been called by
the high priest Ananias.
00:38:21.03\00:38:24.83
Asked to go down to Damascus
00:38:25.83\00:38:27.74
and to arrest
the Christians there.
00:38:27.94\00:38:29.70
He's been given
a group of soldiers
00:38:29.90\00:38:31.87
and they've headed for Damascus.
00:38:32.91\00:38:34.81
And as they get within
sight of the city of Damascus
00:38:35.84\00:38:39.35
all of a sudden a bright
light shines out of heaven
00:38:39.75\00:38:43.08
and it's so bright that
it knocks Saul to the ground.
00:38:43.28\00:38:45.99
And a voice speaks
and says: "Saul, Saul,
00:38:46.59\00:38:49.22
why persecutest thou Me? "
00:38:49.42\00:38:51.13
And he said:
"Who are you, Lord? "
00:38:52.03\00:38:53.70
And He said: "I am Jesus
whom you're persecuting. "
00:38:54.63\00:38:58.23
And he said: "What
will You have me do? "
00:38:58.73\00:39:01.40
And He said: "Go on to Damascus
and it will be shown you
00:39:02.54\00:39:05.57
what you shall do. "
00:39:05.77\00:39:07.11
And they led Saul by the
hand - blind - to Damascus.
00:39:07.38\00:39:12.81
God spoke to a man
by the name of Ananias
00:39:13.31\00:39:16.72
in Damascus and
said: "Go pray for Saul
00:39:17.12\00:39:20.29
that he may receive his sight. "
00:39:20.49\00:39:22.09
He prayed with him and
he was given his sight.
00:39:22.79\00:39:25.69
I want you to listen to what
it says about Saul of Tarsus.
00:39:25.89\00:39:29.60
You want the date for that?
00:39:43.08\00:39:44.88
34 AD.
00:39:45.28\00:39:48.98
Just exactly as
the Scripture said:
00:39:49.18\00:39:51.39
"Seventy weeks are
determined upon your people. "
00:39:51.59\00:39:54.09
And when that 70 weeks
came to an end in 34 AD
00:39:54.49\00:39:57.39
the gospel went to the Gentiles
00:39:57.59\00:39:59.89
just as God said
it would. Dear friend,
00:40:00.40\00:40:03.60
I don't care who you are,
00:40:03.80\00:40:05.43
I don't care tonight
if you're an atheist.
00:40:05.83\00:40:08.37
If you're an
agnostic, if you're an infidel,
00:40:08.77\00:40:11.97
then all I
ask... all I ask of you
00:40:14.01\00:40:17.68
is are you honest?
00:40:17.88\00:40:19.81
Are you intellectually honest?
00:40:20.02\00:40:22.22
If you are, answer
those prophecies for me.
00:40:22.62\00:40:26.42
Show me where
they don't hold up.
00:40:27.42\00:40:29.82
Tell me how anybody else
00:40:31.09\00:40:33.33
could be the
Messiah except Jesus Christ.
00:40:33.73\00:40:36.36
He fulfilled it in every detail.
00:40:37.90\00:40:41.04
But the prophecy
doesn't stop there, folks.
00:40:41.24\00:40:43.87
Gabriel's explaining how much?
00:40:46.27\00:40:48.41
You remember...
that's what he's explaining.
00:40:52.55\00:40:54.55
So he's not just
explaining the seventy weeks.
00:40:54.75\00:40:56.85
He's explaining the
2300. That seventy weeks
00:40:57.05\00:41:00.32
was just part of the 2300.
00:41:00.52\00:41:02.62
So he's explaining more
than just seventy weeks.
00:41:10.20\00:41:14.70
OK, if we've got 70 weeks
00:41:16.67\00:41:19.64
and 70 weeks brought us to 34 AD
00:41:19.84\00:41:22.98
then if I
subtract... if I subtract
00:41:23.38\00:41:28.72
457 from 2300
00:41:30.39\00:41:34.32
it takes me to 1844 AD.
00:41:34.52\00:41:39.26
That's what I've got left.
00:41:40.63\00:41:42.20
Takes me to the date 1844 AD.
00:41:43.10\00:41:46.94
The cleansing of the sanctuary
was known to the Jewish people
00:41:53.68\00:41:58.48
as the day of judgment.
00:41:58.68\00:42:00.78
Also known as the
cleansing of the sanctuary.
00:42:01.28\00:42:04.49
Also known as
the Day of Atonement.
00:42:04.69\00:42:08.29
OK?
00:42:08.79\00:42:10.23
On this day the high priest
00:42:10.43\00:42:13.96
is going to go into
the Most Holy Place.
00:42:14.36\00:42:17.17
He's going to appear
into the presence of God...
00:42:17.57\00:42:20.57
before God and the mercy seat...
00:42:21.07\00:42:23.51
to plead and bear the
sins of the children of Israel.
00:42:23.71\00:42:28.68
OK. That was known
as the day of judgment.
00:42:29.64\00:42:34.88
OK? Known as
the day of judgment.
00:42:35.45\00:42:38.39
Listen very carefully to what
the book of Revelation says.
00:42:39.32\00:42:42.26
Now folks, it does not say
00:42:53.40\00:42:55.60
is coming.
00:42:55.80\00:42:57.47
It doesn't say that... it
says the hour of God's judgment
00:42:58.47\00:43:02.08
"has come. "
00:43:02.28\00:43:04.08
OK? That's present tense.
00:43:04.28\00:43:06.72
HAS come. Let's
look at another text.
00:43:06.92\00:43:10.25
Revelation 22 verse 10:
00:43:10.45\00:43:12.42
Follow very carefully now:
00:43:21.20\00:43:23.43
What do you think
that's talking about?
00:43:45.72\00:43:47.42
That's judgment!
00:43:48.56\00:43:49.99
That's what it's
talking about: judgment.
00:43:50.59\00:43:53.06
"He who is righteous
let him be righteous still;
00:43:53.46\00:43:56.06
he who is holy let
him be holy still. "
00:43:56.26\00:43:57.93
That's judgment.
Listen... it doesn't stop here:
00:43:58.13\00:44:01.04
Now dear friend, let
me ask you something:
00:44:13.21\00:44:15.55
If Jesus brings
His reward with Him,
00:44:15.75\00:44:19.02
then doesn't man
have to have been judged?
00:44:19.42\00:44:22.02
You see, you can't
very well pass out reward
00:44:22.99\00:44:27.06
and have the judgment later.
00:44:27.26\00:44:29.23
That wouldn't work!
00:44:30.03\00:44:31.37
So judgment has
to have taken place.
00:44:31.63\00:44:35.27
So what the
Scripture is trying to tell you
00:44:35.77\00:44:38.74
is judgment began in 1844 AD.
00:44:38.94\00:44:42.84
Did you put it
together? I hope so.
00:44:44.31\00:44:46.45
Speaking of the little horn.
00:44:48.15\00:44:50.02
It says his dominion
would be taken away from him.
00:44:50.99\00:44:53.82
It was taken away from him when?
00:44:54.02\00:44:56.22
1798 AD.
00:44:56.62\00:44:58.63
And it says that after
his dominion was taken away
00:44:58.83\00:45:01.60
from him the
court would be seated.
00:45:01.80\00:45:05.00
That means judgment
would begin. Judgment began in?
00:45:05.40\00:45:08.67
1844 AD. Are you
putting it together?
00:45:09.07\00:45:11.27
See how those
prophecies all fit?
00:45:11.47\00:45:13.21
They dovetail
together, dear friends.
00:45:13.41\00:45:15.61
Now I don't know... I
don't know where you are,
00:45:36.87\00:45:40.50
dear friend. I
don't know spiritually
00:45:40.70\00:45:43.20
where you are, but
let me tell you something:
00:45:43.41\00:45:45.87
the little horn, it's
dominion was taken away from it.
00:45:47.38\00:45:51.25
That's past.
00:45:51.71\00:45:53.05
1844 AD the judgment started.
00:45:53.78\00:45:56.32
It's been going
on all this time.
00:45:57.22\00:45:59.12
Do you know what's next?
00:45:59.32\00:46:00.66
The saints are going
to possess the kingdom.
00:46:01.82\00:46:05.79
Are you beginning
to see where you are?
00:46:06.26\00:46:08.06
Beginning to understand where
we are in the stream of time?
00:46:08.26\00:46:10.90
That's what it's telling you.
00:46:11.70\00:46:14.07
That's the time
you are living in:
00:46:23.21\00:46:26.61
God's judgment
hour. When that judgment
00:46:26.82\00:46:29.72
in heaven ends Jesus
Christ is coming back.
00:46:29.92\00:46:33.12
That's what's happening.
00:46:34.22\00:46:35.76
That's what's going on.
00:46:35.96\00:46:37.29
So you've got 2,300 years.
00:46:37.33\00:46:39.39
That 2,300 years is
broken into different parts
00:46:40.30\00:46:44.17
that began in 457 BC...
00:46:44.33\00:46:48.10
457 BC is when
Artaxerxes gave a decree
00:46:48.30\00:46:51.97
that the Jewish
people should go back
00:46:52.17\00:46:53.84
and they became
a nation. 457 BC.
00:46:54.04\00:46:56.18
And he said from that point
70 weeks were determined upon
00:46:56.38\00:47:00.28
Daniel's people which
was the Jewish people.
00:47:00.48\00:47:02.42
If you went 70
weeks or 490 years
00:47:02.62\00:47:05.99
from 457 BC it'll
take you to 34 AD.
00:47:06.19\00:47:09.52
But he said: "Know
therefore and understand
00:47:11.33\00:47:13.96
that from the going
forth of the command to restore
00:47:14.16\00:47:16.00
and build Jerusalem
unto Messiah the Prince
00:47:16.20\00:47:18.33
shall be seven weeks
three score and two weeks. "
00:47:18.53\00:47:20.94
So he broke up that 70 weeks
00:47:21.14\00:47:23.07
and he gave the 69 weeks
unto the Messiah the Prince.
00:47:23.47\00:47:26.71
So if you come 69
weeks or 483 years
00:47:26.91\00:47:31.21
from 457 BC it
will take you to 27 AD
00:47:31.41\00:47:35.48
at which time Jesus was
baptized, began His ministry.
00:47:35.68\00:47:39.75
Then it said He would
"confirm the covenant with many
00:47:40.19\00:47:43.29
for one week and in
the midst of the week
00:47:43.49\00:47:46.36
He would cause the sacrifice
and oblations to cease. "
00:47:46.56\00:47:49.30
So that 70th week
00:47:49.80\00:47:51.60
is broken up into two parts.
00:47:52.10\00:47:54.34
Three and a half... that was
the time of Christ's ministry
00:47:54.54\00:47:58.97
from 27 AD to 31 AD.
00:47:59.17\00:48:01.61
Christ dies in 31 AD.
00:48:02.01\00:48:04.25
The sacrifices and
oblations came to an end.
00:48:04.45\00:48:07.55
The Lamb of God died.
00:48:07.75\00:48:09.35
The last 3-1/2 weeks
was from 31 AD to 34 AD
00:48:09.55\00:48:14.22
at which time the
gospel went to the Gentiles.
00:48:14.42\00:48:19.03
That brings us to 34 AD.
00:48:19.43\00:48:21.40
If I subtract 490 from 2300
00:48:21.70\00:48:27.64
that leaves me 1810.
00:48:27.84\00:48:30.61
If I add 1810 to 34AD
00:48:30.81\00:48:35.61
that takes me to 1844 AD...
at which time the Scripture says
00:48:35.81\00:48:40.25
judgment would begin.
00:48:40.45\00:48:42.12
Now I want to share some
good news with you tonight
00:48:43.05\00:48:45.62
about the judgment.
00:48:45.82\00:48:47.16
Dear friend, if you
don't understand this,
00:48:48.59\00:48:51.23
if you can just get
hold of this one fact...
00:48:52.36\00:48:54.76
if you can just
believe this one fact
00:48:55.16\00:48:57.93
what a difference
it'll make. Listen:
00:48:58.33\00:49:00.67
Marvelous!
00:49:14.62\00:49:16.65
What more can you ask?
00:49:16.85\00:49:18.22
I mean, Jesus is the Judge.
00:49:19.29\00:49:22.59
But dear friends, more than that
00:49:23.73\00:49:25.53
He's not just the Judge...
00:49:25.73\00:49:27.70
He is also your representative.
00:49:27.90\00:49:30.43
And He came and took
upon Himself humanity.
00:49:31.30\00:49:34.97
He lived like you; He
understands our weaknesses.
00:49:35.17\00:49:38.07
Marvelous!
00:49:38.74\00:49:40.08
Tonight do you
want everlasting life?
00:49:52.65\00:49:55.66
Or maybe you're... maybe you're
happy with this old world?
00:49:58.66\00:50:03.06
But if you'd like to
have everlasting life,
00:50:05.17\00:50:08.94
all you have to do
tonight is to believe...
00:50:10.14\00:50:14.31
believe in Jesus Christ.
00:50:14.71\00:50:17.35
Accept Him; give
your heart to Him.
00:50:17.65\00:50:20.92
Surrender your life to Him.
00:50:21.32\00:50:23.25
He'll give you eternal life,
and listen to this now, folks...
00:50:23.65\00:50:27.99
listen to this:
00:50:28.19\00:50:29.52
Marvelous!
00:50:36.56\00:50:37.90
You know what that's saying?
00:50:38.07\00:50:40.00
That's saying that judgment's
going on up in heaven tonight.
00:50:40.80\00:50:44.47
That started in 1844
AD; it's been going on.
00:50:45.87\00:50:48.14
And it says that if you've
given your heart to Jesus Christ
00:50:48.78\00:50:51.78
and your name
comes up in the judgment
00:50:52.18\00:50:53.95
do you know what happens?
00:50:54.15\00:50:55.58
Jesus stands up and
says: "Father, I will represent
00:50:56.15\00:51:00.26
this person. " Amen!
00:51:00.46\00:51:02.46
"You see, Father, this
person has accepted Me...
00:51:02.66\00:51:05.99
therefore I
will represent him. "
00:51:07.10\00:51:09.40
Now let me tell you something:
00:51:10.17\00:51:11.63
if Jesus Christ
accepts your case,
00:51:12.97\00:51:17.07
you can't lose. Amen!
00:51:17.47\00:51:21.14
See? Marvelous!
00:51:21.34\00:51:23.45
Said: "I will plead My blood on
behalf of this person, Father. "
00:51:24.05\00:51:28.52
"I died for that individual. "
00:51:29.82\00:51:32.32
"I lived a
perfect life for him. "
00:51:32.52\00:51:34.62
"Father... accept him. " And you
know what the Scripture says?
00:51:35.12\00:51:38.76
It says in
Ephesians that God accepts you
00:51:39.89\00:51:43.57
because of His Son. Amen!
00:51:43.77\00:51:45.63
Now He doesn't accept you
'cause you're good looking.
00:51:45.83\00:51:47.87
Or He doesn't accept
you because you're smart.
00:51:49.90\00:51:52.71
See? He accepts you
because of His Son Jesus Christ.
00:51:53.64\00:51:58.15
Says: "Father, accept
him. " And the Father says:
00:51:58.81\00:52:01.28
"Because You died for
him I'll accept him. "
00:52:01.48\00:52:04.35
That's what He
does for you and for me.
00:52:05.49\00:52:08.12
The Bible says there's
several books that are used
00:52:09.32\00:52:11.39
in the judgment.
00:52:11.59\00:52:12.99
One of the books
that's used in the judgment
00:52:13.63\00:52:15.36
is called the Book of Life.
00:52:15.56\00:52:16.90
Marvelous book: Book of Life.
00:52:17.83\00:52:20.54
Do you know what you've
gotta do to get your name
00:52:22.00\00:52:23.61
in the Book of Life?
00:52:23.81\00:52:25.14
Huh?
00:52:25.97\00:52:27.31
Oh... just be good?
00:52:30.31\00:52:32.38
Will that get your
name in the Book of Life?
00:52:32.78\00:52:34.78
No... you've gotta
accept Jesus Christ.
00:52:35.18\00:52:38.55
This is what the
Scripture says about it:
00:52:38.75\00:52:40.69
So when a person
accepts Jesus Christ
00:52:52.93\00:52:56.54
as his personal
Savior your name is entered
00:52:56.74\00:53:00.64
in the Book of Life.
00:53:00.84\00:53:02.18
That's what gives Jesus
the right to represent you.
00:53:03.08\00:53:07.38
When your name
comes up in the judgment
00:53:07.78\00:53:09.75
they look in the Book of
Life and they say: "Oh, there's
00:53:09.95\00:53:11.49
a name right here. " And
Christ can step up and say:
00:53:11.69\00:53:13.66
"Father, I plead My blood
on behalf of this person. "
00:53:13.86\00:53:18.53
OK... there's two other books.
00:53:27.37\00:53:29.37
Another book called
the Book of Remembrance.
00:53:29.77\00:53:32.24
You may not have
known about that book.
00:53:33.17\00:53:34.81
You see, the Book of Remembrance
00:53:35.94\00:53:38.08
all the good things that you do
00:53:38.48\00:53:40.98
are recorded in the
Book of Remembrance.
00:53:41.18\00:53:43.62
Listen:
00:53:43.82\00:53:45.15
So it says all the good
things that you and I do
00:54:02.77\00:54:06.14
are written down in
the Book of Remembrance.
00:54:06.64\00:54:09.38
That's nice to know, isn't it?
00:54:10.25\00:54:11.85
Every good deed you do.
00:54:12.78\00:54:15.08
Every good word you say.
00:54:15.48\00:54:17.22
Every person you help.
00:54:17.62\00:54:19.55
That's all recorded
in the books of heaven.
00:54:19.95\00:54:22.39
I don't have time
to get into it tonight
00:54:22.59\00:54:24.89
but do you know that
every last one of you here -
00:54:25.09\00:54:28.60
I mean every last one of you -
00:54:28.80\00:54:31.00
whether you like it
or whether you don't
00:54:31.20\00:54:33.23
do you know that every
one of you have an angel?
00:54:33.64\00:54:35.90
And that angel keeps records.
00:54:37.04\00:54:39.47
That's what he does, OK?
00:54:39.77\00:54:42.68
There's another
book that's used.
00:54:42.88\00:54:46.08
That book is called
the Book of Iniquity.
00:54:46.28\00:54:48.48
That's where all the
sins, all the bad things
00:54:49.95\00:54:54.82
that you and I do, are recorded.
00:54:55.02\00:54:57.36
This is what it says:
00:54:57.76\00:54:59.19
So all the bad... all
the bad things that we do...
00:55:12.04\00:55:17.05
written down... recorded.
00:55:17.25\00:55:20.38
You see, I used to believe
00:55:21.65\00:55:23.89
that when you
got to the judgment
00:55:24.39\00:55:26.55
they opened up the
Book of Remembrance
00:55:26.96\00:55:29.49
and they opened up
the Book of Iniquity
00:55:29.69\00:55:31.39
and if your good
outweighed your bad you made it.
00:55:31.59\00:55:34.26
But that's not the way it is.
00:55:35.40\00:55:37.27
That's not the way it is.
00:55:37.67\00:55:39.00
You see, there's
something in the Bible called
00:55:39.27\00:55:42.84
justification.
00:55:43.24\00:55:45.67
That when you
accept Jesus Christ
00:55:46.07\00:55:48.54
it says that He
"remembers your sins no more. "
00:55:48.94\00:55:53.98
See? And all the things
that you and I have in the Book
00:55:55.05\00:55:59.29
of Iniquity... wiped out!
00:55:59.49\00:56:02.26
Remembered no more!
00:56:03.36\00:56:05.16
Now, if there's
some of you here tonight
00:56:07.10\00:56:09.06
who like the fellow said
to me, we were talking about
00:56:10.13\00:56:12.80
the judgment and he
said: "Well... " he said,
00:56:13.00\00:56:15.20
when I get to heaven
and to the judgment, "
00:56:15.40\00:56:17.54
he said, "I'm going
to ask for justice. "
00:56:17.74\00:56:20.14
Not me.
00:56:21.51\00:56:23.04
I don't want
justice... I want mercy.
00:56:23.24\00:56:25.98
Amen! See... I
don't want justice.
00:56:26.18\00:56:28.62
I want mercy.
00:56:29.02\00:56:30.35
And so I want
Jesus Christ's blood
00:56:30.72\00:56:34.59
to be in my place.
00:56:34.79\00:56:36.46
I want Him to cover all my sins.
00:56:36.66\00:56:38.89
I don't wanta have to face
it 'cause I KNOW what I deserve.
00:56:39.09\00:56:42.46
Don't have any
question about that.
00:56:42.86\00:56:45.13
This is what
God will do for you:
00:56:45.53\00:56:48.44
So it says: "If you sin,
you can come to Christ. "
00:57:06.42\00:57:09.96
He's your Advocate...
He'll plead your case.
00:57:10.16\00:57:12.29
Let me tell you quickly
00:57:21.57\00:57:23.57
what your responsibility
and my responsibility is.
00:57:23.77\00:57:27.94
Your
responsibility, dear friend,
00:57:29.21\00:57:31.81
is to accept Jesus Christ.
00:57:32.11\00:57:34.22
That's your part
is to accept Him.
00:57:35.18\00:57:37.95
And every
morning when you get up
00:57:38.35\00:57:41.59
to commit your
life to Jesus Christ.
00:57:41.79\00:57:44.73
Then He will do
His work in your life.
00:57:45.36\00:57:48.20
See? But I must every day
commit my life to Jesus Christ.
00:57:49.10\00:57:54.17
If I do that,
He'll work in my life.
00:57:54.67\00:57:57.94
So tonight Jesus Christ is
willing to confess your name
00:58:07.02\00:58:11.75
before His Father
and the holy angels.
00:58:11.95\00:58:14.79
