[Music] 00:00:00.46\00:00:10.51 [Music] 00:00:10.51\00:00:20.95 >>TY: So, the book of Revelation, we're discovering, 00:00:20.95\00:00:23.22 has certain features, certain patterns, and one of the 00:00:23.22\00:00:26.32 patterns that we've mentioned before that we need to 00:00:26.32\00:00:28.72 highlight now is that it moves through a repeat and enlarge 00:00:28.72\00:00:32.83 process. 00:00:32.83\00:00:34.03 We saw that the seven churches prophecy begins first century 00:00:34.03\00:00:38.57 and moves to the end of time to the second coming and 00:00:38.57\00:00:41.80 beyond. 00:00:41.80\00:00:42.87 Final judgment and the establishment of the kingdom 00:00:42.87\00:00:44.84 of God, new heavens, new earth. 00:00:44.84\00:00:47.88 Now, we've come to that part of the book of Revelation that 00:00:47.88\00:00:51.71 probably anybody who's read the book or studied or tried 00:00:51.71\00:00:55.35 to understand it would regard as the most complex part of 00:00:55.35\00:01:00.36 the book, the seals and the trumpets. 00:01:00.36\00:01:02.59 Now, we, on this journey through Revelation can't get 00:01:02.59\00:01:06.03 into the details in a mere 13 programs of every single 00:01:06.03\00:01:10.40 aspect of the book of Revelation, but we should at 00:01:10.40\00:01:13.54 least pause to mention what's going on with the seals and 00:01:13.54\00:01:17.71 trumpets because, in our last session, we talked about the 00:01:17.71\00:01:21.21 fact that, in Revelation 4 and 5, there is a scroll with 7 00:01:21.21\00:01:25.95 seals in the hand of the one who sits on the throne. 00:01:25.95\00:01:29.75 We identified that seal with the aid of the book of Ezekiel 00:01:29.75\00:01:33.05 as basically, human history with all its horrors and woes, 00:01:33.05\00:01:36.93 that scroll, and then Jesus alone, by virtue of his 00:01:36.93\00:01:41.23 solidarity with the human race, as the one who is worthy 00:01:41.23\00:01:45.70 to resolve the human predicament, to look into, to 00:01:45.70\00:01:49.44 understand and sympathize with... 00:01:49.44\00:01:51.44 >>JAMES: Which has already been resolved in heaven, which 00:01:51.44\00:01:53.44 needs to be resolved on earth. 00:01:53.44\00:01:54.58 >>TY: It's been resolved in heaven, but it needs to be 00:01:54.58\00:01:56.44 resolved in earth. 00:01:56.44\00:01:57.65 So, now we have the seals that are actually open before us. 00:01:57.65\00:02:00.48 So, James... 00:02:00.48\00:02:01.48 >>DAVID: Which is chapters 6, 7... 00:02:01.48\00:02:03.49 >>JAMES: And 8:1. 00:02:03.49\00:02:04.49 >>DAVID: The very first part of 8. 00:02:04.49\00:02:06.49 >>JAMES: Yeah. 00:02:06.49\00:02:07.52 >>TY: So, James, give us the flyby of the seals. 00:02:07.52\00:02:09.49 >>JAMES: Well, the seals flyby is another prophetic cycle. 00:02:09.49\00:02:12.39 So, we know it began in the apostolic age. 00:02:12.39\00:02:15.50 >>TY: First century. 00:02:15.50\00:02:16.50 >>JAMES: First century. 00:02:16.50\00:02:17.53 We see the inauguration of Christ in Revelation 5. 00:02:17.53\00:02:19.67 We see the fact that the 24 elders were there because of 00:02:19.67\00:02:23.07 the Lamb that's slain. 00:02:23.07\00:02:24.57 And then, the Lamb takes the scroll. 00:02:24.57\00:02:26.57 The history of the human race and he begins to unseal it, he 00:02:26.57\00:02:30.45 begins to open up the mysteries. 00:02:30.45\00:02:32.45 And the main mystery that he's opening up to us is, if God is 00:02:32.45\00:02:34.95 love, why sin and suffering? 00:02:34.95\00:02:36.62 And so, what we see is, we see a proclamation of the gospel 00:02:36.62\00:02:39.35 in contrast with, we're gonna look at red horse, we're not 00:02:39.35\00:02:42.99 gonna look at red horse, but red horse, black horse, pale 00:02:42.99\00:02:45.66 horse. 00:02:45.66\00:02:46.86 Those 3 horses, combined with the white horse, represent, 00:02:46.86\00:02:49.63 the four, again. 00:02:49.63\00:02:51.30 >>TY: In chapter 6. 00:02:51.30\00:02:52.37 >>JAMES: Chapter 6, the four again, all humanity is 00:02:52.37\00:02:55.60 included in these four horses. 00:02:55.60\00:02:57.44 And basically, if you wanna understand the four horses, 00:02:57.44\00:02:59.64 just go to Matthew 13, the parable of the sower and the 00:02:59.64\00:03:03.08 seed. 00:03:03.08\00:03:04.31 Jesus sowed the seed, it was a parable of the kingdom of God, 00:03:04.31\00:03:07.25 it fell upon four types of ground. 00:03:07.25\00:03:09.25 One ground was good, three were bad. 00:03:09.25\00:03:11.25 Four horses. 00:03:11.25\00:03:12.25 One horse is good, three were bad. 00:03:12.25\00:03:14.26 Four corners of the earth, four types of ground, four 00:03:14.26\00:03:16.39 horses, it's the history of humanity and each one of those 00:03:16.39\00:03:19.06 horses represents either Christ and his kingdom or 00:03:19.06\00:03:22.46 those that work against. 00:03:22.46\00:03:24.03 The red horse, persecution, the black horse, compromise, 00:03:24.03\00:03:26.50 the pale horse, death and destruction. 00:03:26.50\00:03:28.50 >>TY: And it parallels the seven churches. 00:03:28.50\00:03:31.01 >>JAMES: It parallels the same history, takes us all the way 00:03:31.01\00:03:33.21 down and then, finally, you come to this place where we 00:03:33.21\00:03:35.44 see this second coming of Christ and we have this 00:03:35.44\00:03:37.51 question asked in Revelation 7, who's gonna be able to 00:03:37.51\00:03:39.61 stand when Jesus comes and the answer is kind of an interlude 00:03:39.61\00:03:42.95 that's given, there's gonna be a great interlude of sealed 00:03:42.95\00:03:46.05 ones that no man can number that's gonna stand before the 00:03:46.05\00:03:48.89 throne and before the lamb. 00:03:48.89\00:03:50.49 And that brings us all the way into the new heaven and the 00:03:50.49\00:03:52.56 new earth where they worship him day and night, they walk 00:03:52.56\00:03:55.33 beside the river of life, they don't cry, the sun doesn't 00:03:55.33\00:03:58.47 light them anymore, no more tears, no more pain, no more 00:03:58.47\00:04:00.60 sorrow. 00:04:00.60\00:04:01.77 So, we've come all the way from the apostolic age through 00:04:01.77\00:04:03.94 this revelation of history, the gospel being proclaimed, 00:04:03.94\00:04:07.14 opposed by persecution, darkness, and death, and 00:04:07.14\00:04:10.31 coming out on the other side, we see this great multitude, 00:04:10.31\00:04:12.45 the second coming of Christ, and then, in the new heaven 00:04:12.45\00:04:14.58 and the new earth, the redeemed ones who stand before 00:04:14.58\00:04:17.15 the throne and no more crying and no more pain, boom, that's 00:04:17.15\00:04:20.06 the end of the second... 00:04:20.06\00:04:21.02 >>TY: Okay, so that's a snapshot of the seals. 00:04:21.02\00:04:23.06 >>DAVID: Can I ask you a question about that? 00:04:23.06\00:04:25.06 >>JAMES: Yeah. 00:04:25.06\00:04:26.19 >>DAVID: So, tell me if this illustration works, James. 00:04:26.19\00:04:28.03 You know a lot more about the seals and the trumpets than I 00:04:28.03\00:04:30.03 do, personally, so, tell me if you like this or if it works. 00:04:30.03\00:04:32.40 So, rather than moving through space in the book of 00:04:32.40\00:04:35.44 Revelation, we're moving through time. 00:04:35.44\00:04:37.44 That's what we've been talking about, the one who was, who 00:04:37.44\00:04:39.44 is, and who is to come. 00:04:39.44\00:04:40.51 From the time of John, a little bit back, but mostly 00:04:40.51\00:04:42.88 forward. 00:04:42.88\00:04:43.88 Right, moving forward. 00:04:43.88\00:04:45.45 So, imagine that we're gonna traverse now, not time, but 00:04:45.45\00:04:49.75 space, we're gonna cover, say, from New York to San 00:04:49.75\00:04:53.76 Francisco, so we're gonna traverse the United States. 00:04:53.76\00:04:56.09 That's a significant piece of real estate. 00:04:56.09\00:04:58.93 And the first time we drive it. 00:04:58.93\00:05:00.30 And when we drive it, okay, we saw that and there was a, and 00:05:02.46\00:05:03.53 we saw this, and there was a stop here and there was, 00:05:03.53\00:05:07.74 whatever. 00:05:07.74\00:05:08.97 And then, the second time, we walk it, just using different, 00:05:08.97\00:05:12.27 now we see different things, we're on different kinds of 00:05:12.27\00:05:15.11 roads, we're seeing different things, we're traversing, and 00:05:15.11\00:05:17.48 the next time, we fly it. 00:05:17.48\00:05:19.18 So, always, we're passing over the same ground, but we see, 00:05:19.18\00:05:24.39 like this, you see this. 00:05:24.39\00:05:26.15 Okay, now here's my question, get your picture. 00:05:26.15\00:05:28.42 So, would this be safe to say, and just totally shut me down 00:05:28.42\00:05:32.59 if it's now. 00:05:32.59\00:05:33.53 So, in the churches, we get the pastoral. 00:05:33.53\00:05:35.80 This is, church history from the church's perspective. 00:05:35.80\00:05:38.20 Seven churches. 00:05:38.20\00:05:39.27 The seals is the, like, the history of earth, moving 00:05:39.27\00:05:46.74 through the various phases, the unfolding of human history 00:05:46.74\00:05:50.58 with all of its pain, lamentation, mourning, woe, as 00:05:50.58\00:05:53.15 we talked about. 00:05:53.15\00:05:54.32 And then, the trumpets is primarily from the perspective 00:05:54.32\00:05:57.99 of conflict and not just, military conflict and even 00:05:57.99\00:06:02.16 judgement, which of course, announce judgement. 00:06:02.16\00:06:05.46 So, is that, yes, no. 00:06:05.46\00:06:07.50 >>JAMES: That's fantastic. 00:06:07.50\00:06:08.50 >>TY: I resonate with that. 00:06:08.50\00:06:09.66 >>DAVID: And there's gonna be unique things that you see 00:06:09.66\00:06:12.03 that'll be unique to driving, unique to flying and unique to 00:06:12.03\00:06:15.30 walking. 00:06:15.30\00:06:16.30 Just as you're gonna see. 00:06:16.30\00:06:18.17 >>TY: You're covering the same ground, territory. 00:06:18.17\00:06:21.51 They're not prophecies that run end to end, seven churches 00:06:21.51\00:06:25.95 followed by seven seals, followed by seven trumpets. 00:06:25.95\00:06:29.48 They are repeat and enlarge, they're all running 00:06:29.48\00:06:32.45 concurrent, all these three sevens. 00:06:32.45\00:06:35.06 >>JAMES: And what would really help is to just look at the 00:06:35.06\00:06:37.59 book of Daniel. 00:06:37.59\00:06:38.79 The book of Daniel does this in Daniel 2, Daniel 7, Daniel 00:06:38.79\00:06:41.70 8, Daniel 11. 00:06:41.70\00:06:42.90 Now, notice, Daniel 2 is an image, Daniel 7 is these four 00:06:42.90\00:06:46.63 beasts. 00:06:46.63\00:06:47.47 There's the image of Daniel 2. 00:06:47.47\00:06:48.77 Then you've got Daniel 7 being these four beasts, ending up 00:06:48.77\00:06:50.54 with this terrible beast in Daniel chapter 7, and then, in 00:06:50.54\00:06:53.21 Daniel 8, you've got other animals. 00:06:53.21\00:06:55.21 Not the same animals that were in Daniel chapter 7, but other 00:06:55.21\00:06:57.61 animals, and then, in Daniel 11, you've got the king of the 00:06:57.61\00:06:59.88 north and the king of the south, the king of the north 00:06:59.88\00:07:01.88 and the king of the south. 00:07:01.88\00:07:02.85 So, you've got your air travel, you've got your 00:07:02.85\00:07:04.89 walking, you've got your car travel, you've got those 00:07:04.89\00:07:06.89 different modes of travelling the same road and this is 00:07:06.89\00:07:09.86 really powerful, because here's the thing, here's the 00:07:09.86\00:07:12.43 underlying theme. 00:07:12.43\00:07:13.63 God's character has been vindicated in heaven. 00:07:13.63\00:07:15.73 His throne is surrounded by lightning and thunder and 00:07:15.73\00:07:17.87 earthquakes, all this power has been vindicated in heaven, 00:07:17.87\00:07:20.34 but it has to come down to this earth. 00:07:20.34\00:07:22.70 His character has to be seen on earth. 00:07:22.70\00:07:24.71 So, when you begin the third cycle, I just want us to move 00:07:24.71\00:07:26.98 to Revelation chapter 8, I want you to notice something 00:07:26.98\00:07:29.18 here. 00:07:29.18\00:07:30.35 When we begin the third cycle, third prophetic cycle, we 00:07:30.35\00:07:33.68 won't get into the details of this, but we'll just open it 00:07:33.68\00:07:35.82 in this way so that people can see this is where we're 00:07:35.82\00:07:37.82 starting, in the apostolic age, you have an angel that 00:07:37.82\00:07:41.22 stands before God in verse 2, excuse me, in verse 3, you 00:07:41.22\00:07:44.69 have an angel that stands before an altar, having a 00:07:44.69\00:07:47.00 golden sensor and there's given unto him much incense. 00:07:47.00\00:07:49.90 He offers it with the prayers of all the saints upon the 00:07:49.90\00:07:51.90 golden altar, which was before the throne. 00:07:51.90\00:07:54.00 All of this is sanctuary language. 00:07:54.00\00:07:56.00 It's indicating altar, cross, golden altar, sanctuary, the 00:07:56.00\00:08:00.68 cross and the sacrifice of Christ has been taken to the 00:08:00.68\00:08:03.24 heavenly sanctuary. 00:08:03.24\00:08:04.68 Prayers are coming up. 00:08:04.68\00:08:05.91 Now, if this is apostolic age, the prayers that are coming up 00:08:05.91\00:08:08.52 are the prayers of Christ's disciples. 00:08:08.52\00:08:11.65 They're praying together in Jerusalem for the outpouring 00:08:11.65\00:08:13.72 of the Holy Spirit. 00:08:13.72\00:08:15.26 That's the apostolic age. 00:08:15.26\00:08:16.49 We haven't verified that here yet, we've just said, if this 00:08:16.49\00:08:19.96 is the apostolic age, that's what's happening in the 00:08:19.96\00:08:22.86 apostles' world right now, okay? 00:08:22.86\00:08:25.27 Then it goes on to say, the smoke of the incense, verse 4. 00:08:25.27\00:08:29.07 >>TY: Where are you? 00:08:29.07\00:08:30.07 Oh, verse 4, okay. 00:08:30.07\00:08:31.04 >>JAMES: Comes with the prayers of the saints. 00:08:31.04\00:08:33.07 It sends up before God out of the angel's hand and the angel 00:08:33.07\00:08:35.08 took the sensor and filled it with fire off the altar and 00:08:35.08\00:08:37.58 cast it into the earth. 00:08:37.58\00:08:38.98 >>TY: Oh, Acts 2. 00:08:38.98\00:08:39.98 >>JAMES: Acts chapter 2. 00:08:39.98\00:08:41.38 >>DAVID: That sounds very Acts 2. 00:08:41.38\00:08:42.28 >>JAMES: Now, notice what happens here. 00:08:42.28\00:08:43.18 >>DAVID: Tongues of fire on their heads. 00:08:43.18\00:08:44.35 >>JAMES: Yes. 00:08:44.35\00:08:45.52 And notice what happens in verse 5, and there were voices 00:08:45.52\00:08:48.89 and thundering's and lightning's and an earthquake. 00:08:48.89\00:08:51.99 And that, the implication is, in the earth. 00:08:51.99\00:08:54.00 All of these things that we've just read, the voices, the 00:08:54.00\00:08:56.10 thundering's, the lightning's, all of those are around the 00:08:56.10\00:08:58.33 throne in Revelation chapter 4. 00:08:58.33\00:08:59.93 But after the death of Christ, after the lamb slain, it's 00:08:59.93\00:09:03.27 presented, in Revelation chapter 8, starting the same 00:09:03.27\00:09:06.04 cycle again, all of these things are now poured out into 00:09:06.04\00:09:09.08 the earth. 00:09:09.08\00:09:10.08 For what purpose? 00:09:10.08\00:09:11.31 To vindicate the character of God, to take the establishment 00:09:11.31\00:09:15.05 of God's throne that's been set in heaven, to now bring 00:09:15.05\00:09:17.59 that Revelation to planet earth. 00:09:17.59\00:09:19.59 How's it gonna be taken to planet earth? 00:09:19.59\00:09:22.12 Through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. 00:09:22.12\00:09:23.09 >>TY: Through the proclamation of the gospel. 00:09:23.09\00:09:24.13 >>JAMES: Yes, what were they doing? 00:09:24.13\00:09:25.29 They were preaching Christ, they were lifting up Jesus, 00:09:25.29\00:09:27.10 they wouldn't stop preaching about Christ. 00:09:27.10\00:09:28.63 That's where the trumpets began. 00:09:28.63\00:09:30.87 Then, we go through the same cycle. 00:09:30.87\00:09:32.20 Through these trumpets, we go through the same cycle of the 00:09:32.20\00:09:34.87 black horse, the red horse, excuse me, the black horse, 00:09:34.87\00:09:37.44 the pale horse, the same basic history that we found with the 00:09:37.44\00:09:40.58 persecution of the church and then we had the compromise of 00:09:40.58\00:09:44.01 the church, then we had the reformation, we go through 00:09:44.01\00:09:46.21 that whole history, and then we come to Revelation chapter 00:09:46.21\00:09:49.65 10 and we land right here where God decides that he 00:09:49.65\00:09:53.86 wants us to stop, put on the brakes, hold it right here, 00:09:53.86\00:09:57.93 God didn't decide that, we decided that, but God has kind 00:09:57.93\00:10:00.10 of an interlude here where he spends a lot more time on an 00:10:00.10\00:10:05.00 event that takes place in Revelation chapter 10, that 00:10:05.00\00:10:07.20 Jeffrey's gonna unpack for us, I'm volunteering you because 00:10:07.20\00:10:10.37 you're so quiet over there, that we didn't spend a lot of 00:10:10.37\00:10:13.04 time on in the seven churches, we didn't spend a lot of time 00:10:13.04\00:10:14.81 on the seven seals. 00:10:14.81\00:10:16.21 But God has a whole chapter on it now in the seven trumpets. 00:10:16.21\00:10:19.41 >>TY: Okay, so to summarize, because we're talking about 00:10:19.41\00:10:22.32 complex stuff here, just to make sure we're all tracking 00:10:22.32\00:10:26.39 in the same direction, we have three prophetic lines, seven 00:10:26.39\00:10:31.89 churches, seven seals, seven trumpets, all of them are 00:10:31.89\00:10:34.36 beginning with first church, first seal, first trumpet, 00:10:34.36\00:10:38.97 first century... 00:10:38.97\00:10:40.57 >>JAMES: Apostolic age. 00:10:40.57\00:10:41.80 >>TY: ...apostolic age. 00:10:41.80\00:10:42.97 All of them run concurrent, but are revealing different 00:10:42.97\00:10:46.41 aspects of that unfolding history but all concluding at 00:10:46.41\00:10:51.51 the same period in history, the end of time, straight up 00:10:51.51\00:10:55.62 to the second coming and beyond. 00:10:55.62\00:10:57.82 And what you're suggesting is that, in the middle of these 00:10:57.82\00:11:00.86 three cycles of sevens, when we come to the seven trumpets, 00:11:00.86\00:11:07.36 we encounter what you just called an interlude, and I 00:11:07.36\00:11:11.20 think that's good language because, yeah, parenthetical 00:11:11.20\00:11:13.37 statement, because what's happening is you come to the 00:11:13.37\00:11:17.37 sixth trumpet in chapter 9, verses 13-21, and then, 00:11:17.37\00:11:24.35 chapters 10 and 11 unfold before you get to the seventh 00:11:24.35\00:11:28.65 trumpet, which again, kicks back in, in chapter 11, yeah. 00:11:28.65\00:11:33.56 And verse 15. 00:11:33.56\00:11:35.02 So, that's why you're calling it an interlude. 00:11:35.02\00:11:38.16 The reason I'm repeating is because, again, this is 00:11:38.16\00:11:40.33 complex, and so, we wanna understand that now, what 00:11:40.33\00:11:44.37 we're gonna spend the remainder of our time talking 00:11:44.37\00:11:46.37 about, really, is this interlude, in this session, is 00:11:46.37\00:11:50.31 this interlude. 00:11:50.31\00:11:52.21 So, basically, chapters 10 and 11. 00:11:52.21\00:11:53.81 >>JAMES: And one reason we're gonna do that is because, if 00:11:53.81\00:11:55.81 we spend a lot of our time on the trumpets, we'd simply be 00:11:55.81\00:11:58.78 repeating what we've already covered in the churches, 00:11:58.78\00:12:02.48 which, we've already covered in detail, but it's the same 00:12:02.48\00:12:03.99 history, but here's something new, here's something that's 00:12:03.99\00:12:06.09 intriguing, here's something that's significant. 00:12:06.09\00:12:08.32 >>TY: So, let's crack into this interlude, this 00:12:08.32\00:12:10.69 parenthetical statement where things are revealed, I guess 00:12:10.69\00:12:14.00 we could say these things are revealed between the sixth and 00:12:14.00\00:12:18.40 the seventh trumpet, so just picture, there's two bookends, 00:12:18.40\00:12:24.04 so to speak, sixth trumpet unfolds, and then, it's as if 00:12:24.04\00:12:27.34 John is saying, wait a minute, but then God showed me this. 00:12:27.34\00:12:32.25 And he unfolds, starting with chapter 10, what's going on 00:12:32.25\00:12:36.89 here? 00:12:36.89\00:12:37.99 >>DAVID: And we, just a question, for James, actually, 00:12:37.99\00:12:39.79 just a yes or no answer, I'm just curious. 00:12:39.79\00:12:42.12 So, it says there in Revelation, I'll come right 00:12:42.12\00:12:44.56 back to your question, Ty, I'm just very curious about this. 00:12:44.56\00:12:46.16 It says there, and you had us read Revelation 8:5, when the 00:12:46.16\00:12:49.63 incense is thrown, there are thundering's, lightning's, and 00:12:49.63\00:12:51.77 an earthquake, and it got me thinking about this text in 00:12:51.77\00:12:55.24 Acts, maybe you've made this connection before, but the 00:12:55.24\00:12:56.67 Holy Spirit's been poured out, the gospel's going with 00:12:56.67\00:12:58.84 power... 00:12:58.84\00:12:59.91 >>JAMES: And the earth is shaken. 00:12:59.91\00:13:01.14 >>DAVID: Yeah, Acts 4:31, when they had prayed, the place 00:13:01.14\00:13:03.21 where they were assembled together was shaken and they 00:13:03.21\00:13:05.91 were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they spoke the word 00:13:05.91\00:13:08.52 of God with boldness. 00:13:08.52\00:13:10.09 >>JAMES: Voices, thundering's, lightning's, yeah. 00:13:10.09\00:13:11.89 >>DAVID: Yeah, that's not just saying, oh, and by the way, 00:13:11.89\00:13:13.79 there was seismic activity. 00:13:13.79\00:13:15.36 That's saying, something that's happening in heaven is 00:13:15.36\00:13:17.23 reverberating. 00:13:17.23\00:13:19.33 >>JAMES: All of the power that's around the throne in 00:13:19.33\00:13:20.93 Revelation 4 is now coming down to planet earth. 00:13:20.93\00:13:23.57 >>DAVID: Wow. 00:13:23.57\00:13:24.70 >>JAMES: All of that power that's around the throne is 00:13:24.70\00:13:26.10 now coming. 00:13:26.10\00:13:27.27 See, it settled there and now, we've gotta settle it down 00:13:27.27\00:13:28.80 here. 00:13:28.80\00:13:29.90 >>DAVID: Okay, so, then, here's the second thing that I 00:13:29.90\00:13:31.61 wanna sort of put to you. 00:13:31.61\00:13:33.01 When we, by the time we get to Revelation chapter 10, we've 00:13:33.01\00:13:36.98 traversed over the seals, same ground, as Ty's made clear, 00:13:36.98\00:13:40.08 over the trumpets, same ground, which Ty's made clear. 00:13:40.08\00:13:43.52 That's not easy stuff. 00:13:43.52\00:13:46.19 Like, you know it pretty well. 00:13:46.19\00:13:47.96 >>JAMES: It's challenging. 00:13:47.96\00:13:49.09 >>DAVID: Okay, so, just so we're conceding that to our 00:13:49.09\00:13:50.29 people, it's not like, anybody can just open up the book of 00:13:50.29\00:13:52.86 Revelation and oh, it's just a piece of cake. 00:13:52.86\00:13:54.73 I mean, there is some stuff... 00:13:54.73\00:13:56.20 >>JAMES: Revelation 8, 9, and even through 11 is probably 00:13:56.20\00:13:59.10 the hardest part of Revelation, the seven trumpets 00:13:59.10\00:14:01.90 are the hardest part of Revelation. 00:14:01.90\00:14:03.51 Well, Daniel 11 has been, they're vying for it. 00:14:03.51\00:14:09.44 >>DAVID: So, one other thing that I wanna say here is we 00:14:09.44\00:14:11.85 see this, when we get to Revelation chapter 10 verse 1, 00:14:11.85\00:14:13.92 for example, we're beginning this parenthetical statement, 00:14:13.92\00:14:16.28 I saw. 00:14:16.28\00:14:17.39 And we've made this point again and again, that you 00:14:17.39\00:14:20.26 know, I think it's some 45 times John says, I saw and 00:14:20.26\00:14:23.59 another 25 times or whatever, he says, I heard. 00:14:23.59\00:14:26.29 So, the picture that I have in my mind here is almost like an 00:14:26.29\00:14:29.50 IMAX film. 00:14:29.50\00:14:30.83 You ever been to an IMAX, you know, where you sit in the 00:14:30.83\00:14:32.60 theater and it surrounds you and it's, you know, even 00:14:32.60\00:14:34.64 sometimes, the chairs shake. 00:14:34.64\00:14:36.10 What God showed John was this surround sound movie like 00:14:36.10\00:14:42.28 thing, and then, he's sitting down and describing it to us, 00:14:42.28\00:14:45.51 so because of that, the book of Revelation is not like 00:14:45.51\00:14:49.42 Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, which you can just read. 00:14:49.42\00:14:53.32 You can just read, Jesus walked here, he went here, he 00:14:53.32\00:14:55.39 did this. 00:14:55.39\00:14:56.59 >>JAMES: ...and then all the way through the end of Christ. 00:14:56.59\00:14:57.63 No, it's not like that. 00:14:57.63\00:14:58.83 >>DAVID: The book of, and not just only in the chronology, 00:14:58.83\00:15:00.10 the book of Revelation demands interpretation. 00:15:00.10\00:15:03.13 >>TY: Oh, absolutely. 00:15:03.13\00:15:04.20 >>DAVID: It just has to be interpreted. 00:15:04.20\00:15:05.80 You can't leisurely read this and say, oh, yeah, there was a 00:15:05.80\00:15:07.77 dragon with seven heads, that's not what's happening. 00:15:07.77\00:15:10.21 >>TY: Because there wasn't. 00:15:10.21\00:15:11.17 >>DAVID: Right. 00:15:11.17\00:15:12.41 >>TY: It doesn't mean what it says, it means what it means. 00:15:12.41\00:15:15.18 >>DAVID: I just was gonna say that, I just read this great 00:15:15.18\00:15:17.31 quotation where it says, the book of Revelation does not 00:15:17.31\00:15:19.41 mean what it says, it means what it means, and so, we're 00:15:19.41\00:15:23.59 being exposed to John's recollections, or his 00:15:23.59\00:15:27.42 writings, about this movie, or movies that he saw, yeah? 00:15:27.42\00:15:31.83 >>TY: Yeah, because it's symbolic. 00:15:31.83\00:15:33.33 The book is filled with symbols that don't, the images 00:15:33.33\00:15:37.93 he sees don't exist in real life. 00:15:37.93\00:15:41.37 It's just symbols in his vision. 00:15:41.37\00:15:43.81 >>JAMES: He takes a picture, then, he takes another 00:15:43.81\00:15:46.01 picture, and another picture, and says, look at these 00:15:46.01\00:15:47.41 images. 00:15:47.41\00:15:48.58 Here's the first one I saw, after that, look what else I 00:15:48.58\00:15:51.25 saw. 00:15:51.25\00:15:52.15 >>DAVID: And then I heard this. 00:15:52.15\00:15:53.31 >>JAMES: Oh, and look what else I saw, and he just keeps 00:15:53.31\00:15:54.65 showing us in the book, he keeps showing us all these 00:15:54.65\00:15:56.55 images that he sees and we gotta put it all together. 00:15:56.55\00:15:59.39 >>DAVID: The thing that I love about, even this first 00:15:59.39\00:16:02.16 session, that's super helpful to me, is that this thing is 00:16:02.16\00:16:04.49 happening in heaven, Revelation 4 and 5, and that 00:16:04.49\00:16:07.60 enthronement, that celebration, that worthy, 00:16:07.60\00:16:10.43 worthy, is now like, it's like having reverberations, 00:16:10.43\00:16:14.40 resonance, on earth with the apostolic church. 00:16:14.40\00:16:17.24 >>TY: Powerful. 00:16:17.24\00:16:18.47 >>DAVID: But then, the wheels come off, which we saw in the 00:16:18.47\00:16:19.81 churches, it goes, well, and then, mmm, do we see that in 00:16:19.81\00:16:24.75 the seals as well? 00:16:24.75\00:16:25.91 Like, mmm, and you come back up, and then trumpets, mmm, 00:16:25.91\00:16:27.92 okay. 00:16:27.92\00:16:29.68 >>JAMES: That's what those horses are doing, those horses 00:16:29.68\00:16:31.19 are impacting, impacting, the white horse and then, they're 00:16:31.19\00:16:33.72 impacting, trying to bring compromise, persecution, 00:16:33.72\00:16:35.29 trying to bring down the gospel, compromise the gospel. 00:16:35.29\00:16:39.06 >>DAVID: Except for that first horse is the white, the one 00:16:39.06\00:16:40.93 good. 00:16:40.93\00:16:41.83 >>JAMES: Yes, that white horse. 00:16:41.83\00:16:43.13 >>DAVID: Okay, that was, for me, as much as anything, maybe 00:16:43.13\00:16:44.73 our viewers probably benefitted from that as well. 00:16:44.73\00:16:46.70 So, now, we're in the parenthetical statement that 00:16:46.70\00:16:48.87 is Revelation 10 and 11. 00:16:48.87\00:16:50.41 The interlude. 00:16:50.41\00:16:51.64 >>TY: But before we jump right into that, since that's a good 00:16:51.64\00:16:54.31 place to pause, with all those clarifications and we're kind 00:16:54.31\00:16:57.58 of primed now to actually dig into chapters 10 and 11, this 00:16:57.58\00:17:01.48 would be a good time to take our break, then we'll come 00:17:01.48\00:17:04.02 right back and we'll launch into chapters 10 and 11. 00:17:04.02\00:17:06.49 [Music] 00:17:06.49\00:17:17.73 >>The bible is a big book. 00:17:17.73\00:17:19.67 It's composed of 66 smaller books, written by more than 40 00:17:19.67\00:17:24.44 different authors. 00:17:24.44\00:17:26.14 It's easy to get bogged down in all the genealogies, 00:17:26.14\00:17:29.61 ancient history and intersecting characters with 00:17:29.61\00:17:32.81 unpronounceable names. 00:17:32.81\00:17:34.85 And yet, the bible is full of rich and powerful truths that 00:17:34.85\00:17:39.22 all of us need to understand. 00:17:39.22\00:17:42.26 Wouldn't you love to have an experienced tour guide take 00:17:42.26\00:17:45.43 you on a step-by-step journey through some of the most vital

00:19:08.08\00:19:11.05 especially the seals and the trumpets, so well, that you 00:19:11.05\00:19:14.05 can just explain it like, yeah, and so, I felt the need 00:19:14.05\00:19:17.69 to recapitulate and say, well, wait a minute, it's kinda like 00:19:17.69\00:19:22.19 you're on the phone with somebody getting service for a 00:19:22.19\00:19:25.63 flight or something, what's your phone number? 00:19:25.63\00:19:27.60 And you rattle off your phone number real fast and they say, 00:19:27.60\00:19:29.60 wait a minute, back up. 00:19:29.60\00:19:31.27 Or your credit card number or something like that, you know 00:19:31.27\00:19:35.80 it, but they're unfamiliar with it, and so, that's what 00:19:35.80\00:19:39.51 necessitates backing up and I think that's really embedded 00:19:39.51\00:19:43.28 in the text. 00:19:43.28\00:19:44.51 >>JEFFREY: I was just about to say, that's what God is doing 00:19:44.51\00:19:45.78 with us. 00:19:45.78\00:19:46.95 He can, but we're so slow, that's why he has to parallel, 00:19:46.95\00:19:50.79 the three parallel cycles. 00:19:50.79\00:19:53.32 >>TY: So, God is doing the same thing, he's slowing down 00:19:53.32\00:19:55.06 for us and saying, hey, let me say my number slow and clear 00:19:55.06\00:20:00.16 so that you can get what I'm talking about. 00:20:00.16\00:20:01.96 >>JAMES: But you know what's really interesting about this? 00:20:01.96\00:20:03.43 Just to get a little bit more on this. 00:20:03.43\00:20:05.17 That's how the entire bible is written, from Genesis to 00:20:05.17\00:20:08.20 Revelation. 00:20:08.20\00:20:09.30 So, when you start in Genesis 1, you have the creation 00:20:09.30\00:20:10.77 story, which, Genesis 2 is a repeat and an enlargement of 00:20:10.77\00:20:12.71 the Genesis story. 00:20:12.71\00:20:14.24 When you look at Exodus, the beginning of the law of God, 00:20:14.24\00:20:17.38 and then, you go to Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Numbers, it's all 00:20:17.38\00:20:19.68 repeating. 00:20:19.68\00:20:20.45 >>TY: It's all repeat and enlarge. 00:20:20.45\00:20:21.68 >>JAMES: Yeah, and then you go to the New Testament, what do 00:20:21.68\00:20:23.12 you start the New Testament with? 00:20:23.12\00:20:24.22 Matthew. 00:20:24.22\00:20:25.42 What's that about? 00:20:25.42\00:20:26.39 What comes next? 00:20:26.39\00:20:27.56 Mark. 00:20:27.56\00:20:28.19 What's that about. 00:20:28.19\00:20:28.79 >>DAVID: Luke, John, yeah. 00:20:28.79\00:20:29.62 >>JAMES: Yeah, so. 00:20:29.62\00:20:30.89 >>JEFFREY: We needed it really repeated. 00:20:30.89\00:20:34.93 >>TY: It's not complimentary to us. 00:20:34.93\00:20:36.83 >>JAMES: Four times. 00:20:36.83\00:20:38.40 >>TY: For it to be repeated over and over. 00:20:38.40\00:20:42.00 Okay, so we've come to chapter 10 now. 00:20:42.00\00:20:44.91 This chapter is super significant and the language 00:20:44.91\00:20:48.71 is important and we can unpack it but, I think it would be 00:20:48.71\00:20:51.85 good to read the chapter through, just all 11 verses. 00:20:51.85\00:20:55.02 David, could you just. 00:20:55.02\00:20:57.02 Yeah, just read the whole chapter through and let's just 00:20:57.02\00:20:59.62 listen, underline, circle, and back up and find out what 00:20:59.62\00:21:03.36 we're encountering now. 00:21:03.36\00:21:04.69 >>DAVID: I'll read through it pretty quick 'cause we all 00:21:04.69\00:21:05.76 have our bibles in front of us. 00:21:05.76\00:21:06.93 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, 00:21:06.93\00:21:10.47 enclothed with a cloud, and a rainbow was on his head and 00:21:10.47\00:21:12.80 his face was like the sun and his feet like pillars of fire. 00:21:12.80\00:21:15.07 He had a little book open in his hand and he set his right 00:21:15.07\00:21:17.47 foot on the sea and his left foot on the land and he cried 00:21:17.47\00:21:19.57 with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. 00:21:19.57\00:21:21.51 When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices. 00:21:21.51\00:21:24.25 Now, when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was 00:21:24.25\00:21:25.98 about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying to 00:21:25.98\00:21:27.98 me, seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, 00:21:27.98\00:21:30.65 and do not write them. 00:21:30.65\00:21:31.82 The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land 00:21:31.82\00:21:34.49 raised up his hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives 00:21:34.49\00:21:36.49 forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are 00:21:36.49\00:21:38.76 in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the 00:21:38.76\00:21:40.76 sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay 00:21:40.76\00:21:42.73 no longer, but in the days of the sounding of the seventh 00:21:42.73\00:21:45.57 angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God 00:21:45.57\00:21:48.00 would be finished, as he declared to his servants the 00:21:48.00\00:21:50.41 prophets. 00:21:50.41\00:21:51.61 Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again 00:21:51.61\00:21:53.84 and said, go, take the little book which is open in the hand 00:21:53.84\00:21:57.01 of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth. 00:21:57.01\00:21:59.45 So I went to the angel and said to him, give me the 00:21:59.45\00:22:01.72 little book. 00:22:01.72\00:22:02.92 And he said to me, take and eat it, and it will make your 00:22:02.92\00:22:04.72 stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your 00:22:04.72\00:22:06.72 mouth. 00:22:06.72\00:22:07.89 Then I took the little book out of the angel's hand and 00:22:07.89\00:22:09.72 ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. 00:22:09.72\00:22:11.93 But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter. 00:22:11.93\00:22:13.93 And he said to me, you must prophesy again about many 00:22:13.93\00:22:17.33 peoples, nations, tongues, and kings. 00:22:17.33\00:22:20.10 >>TY: Okay, so this is quite a vision that John has here. 00:22:20.10\00:22:25.17 And I think it's important for us to acknowledge the fact 00:22:25.17\00:22:29.04 that, again, as is the case over and over again in 00:22:29.04\00:22:31.31 Revelation, John has his source material in the Old 00:22:31.31\00:22:36.08 Testament. 00:22:36.08\00:22:37.29 He is drawing upon passages that have been written before 00:22:37.29\00:22:42.89 that he's obviously familiar with and where he's quoting 00:22:42.89\00:22:45.63 from is the book of Daniel. 00:22:45.63\00:22:46.96 What you have here is you have John encountering a glorious 00:22:46.96\00:22:53.37 being, with one foot on the sea, one foot on the land, the 00:22:53.37\00:22:57.31 glorious being has a book in his hand that is sealed and he 00:22:57.31\00:23:01.28 hands it to John and he tells John, eat it, and it's going 00:23:01.28\00:23:05.78 to be sweet in your mouth, bitter in your belly. 00:23:05.78\00:23:08.32 So, what's going on here? 00:23:08.32\00:23:11.22 What is the Daniel allusion, because I think, personally, I 00:23:11.22\00:23:15.22 don't know if you've spent any time with this, but I went 00:23:15.22\00:23:19.33 back and forth, actually, comparing the language, and 00:23:19.33\00:23:22.53 it's the same being that is encountered in both instances, 00:23:22.53\00:23:28.04 but there are differences. 00:23:28.04\00:23:29.84 The main difference is that the being that Daniel 00:23:29.84\00:23:33.38 encounters, that being tells him the book, the prophecies 00:23:33.38\00:23:39.05 which you just received, which is equivalent to the book, is 00:23:39.05\00:23:41.55 sealed. 00:23:41.55\00:23:42.68 The difference is... 00:23:42.68\00:23:43.92 >>DAVID: This is Daniel 12. 00:23:43.92\00:23:44.99 >>TY: Yeah, the difference is, when you come to the 00:23:44.99\00:23:46.39 Revelation vision that John receives, the book is now 00:23:46.39\00:23:49.29 unsealed, it's open, it's in his hand, open, and he tells 00:23:49.29\00:23:53.40 John to eat it, to take in and to process the content of the 00:23:53.40\00:23:58.13 book and the brilliant thing about making that comparison, 00:23:58.13\00:24:00.94 and I'm giving the short version, I hope we can flesh 00:24:00.94\00:24:03.04 it out, but the brilliant thing about noticing that 00:24:03.04\00:24:06.07 comparison is that the book, in chapter 10, that John eats 00:24:06.07\00:24:12.95 and processes is, in fact, the book of Daniel. 00:24:12.95\00:24:16.08 It is, in fact, the prophecies of the book of Daniel that 00:24:16.08\00:24:19.82 were sealed to human understanding for the time of 00:24:19.82\00:24:22.86 the end. 00:24:22.86\00:24:24.09 >>JAMES: Which, by the way, is verified by the fact that when 00:24:24.09\00:24:25.66 the seven thunders are heard by John, that come out of the 00:24:25.66\00:24:29.53 book and he starts to write, the voice says, don't write 00:24:29.53\00:24:31.73 them. 00:24:31.73\00:24:32.73 Well, why not? 00:24:32.73\00:24:33.74 Well, 'cause they're already written. 00:24:33.74\00:24:35.74 >>TY: In Daniel. 00:24:35.74\00:24:37.11 >>JAMES: What you need to do is you need to go and eat the 00:24:37.11\00:24:38.24 book. 00:24:38.24\00:24:39.41 They've already been written out, you don't need to write 00:24:39.41\00:24:40.54 them out again, you need to eat, you need to actually 00:24:40.54\00:24:43.71 assimilate what's already been written, because Daniel 00:24:43.71\00:24:45.71 didn't. 00:24:45.71\00:24:46.85 Daniel couldn't get it, he couldn't understand it, and 00:24:46.85\00:24:48.45 so, that's why the certain man, the glorious being, 00:24:48.45\00:24:51.25 actually told Daniel, listen, your prophecies are gonna be 00:24:51.25\00:24:53.62 sealed for a time, a time, and half of a time, but in the 00:24:53.62\00:24:55.46 end, you're gonna stand in your lot and your book is 00:24:55.46\00:24:57.46 gonna be understood. 00:24:57.46\00:24:58.66 It's gonna be understood by people who don't write it out 00:24:58.66\00:25:00.46 again, doesn't need to be written again, but by people 00:25:00.46\00:25:02.43 who go and take your book, by words that were found, and eat 00:25:02.43\00:25:04.93 them. 00:25:04.93\00:25:06.07 >>JEFFREY: So, Revelation 10 is pointing to a period in 00:25:06.07\00:25:07.94 history where something, some development would take place 00:25:07.94\00:25:11.07 in an understanding of the words of Daniel. 00:25:11.07\00:25:14.58 >>DAVID: And we should say that the reason Daniel doesn't 00:25:14.58\00:25:17.65 understand it is not that he's imbecile or dumb, it's because 00:25:17.65\00:25:21.38 he lacked the historical scope. 00:25:21.38\00:25:22.75 >>JEFFREY: Of the nature of the words themselves. 00:25:22.75\00:25:25.19 >>DAVID: 'Cause he's describing the events that 00:25:25.19\00:25:27.19 will take place, like John, after him, the events being 00:25:27.19\00:25:30.79 described here, with historical perspective looking 00:25:30.79\00:25:33.46 back, maybe that's where you were going. 00:25:33.46\00:25:34.83 >>JEFFREY: So, they were sealed because they haven't 00:25:34.83\00:25:36.36 happened yet. 00:25:36.36\00:25:37.17 >>DAVID: They haven't happened yet. 00:25:37.17\00:25:38.13 >>JEFFREY: The words have not been fulfilled. 00:25:38.13\00:25:38.80 Should we read from Daniel 12? 00:25:38.80\00:25:39.83 I think we should. 00:25:39.83\00:25:41.04 >>TY: I was giving the brief overview, hoping that we would 00:25:41.04\00:25:42.87 go back and actually look at the passages. 00:25:42.87\00:25:45.24 >>JEFFREY: Can I jump into the fourth verse? 00:25:45.24\00:25:48.08 Daniel chapter 12 and verse 4, but you, Daniel, shut up the 00:25:48.08\00:25:52.95 words, seal the book until the time of the end. 00:25:52.95\00:25:57.32 Many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall increase, and 00:25:57.32\00:26:01.19 I think that's the relation we were just pointing to. 00:26:01.19\00:26:03.43 Seal up the book until the time of the end. 00:26:03.43\00:26:07.46 In other words, what seals the book is this frame of time, 00:26:07.46\00:26:13.03 it's time. 00:26:13.03\00:26:14.20 It needs to be fulfilled in order for those things to be 00:26:14.20\00:26:16.87 opened. 00:26:16.87\00:26:18.27 >>DAVID: But by the time we get to the book of Revelation, 00:26:18.27\00:26:19.47 looking back, the events that are described here, it's now 00:26:19.47\00:26:21.98 history. 00:26:21.98\00:26:23.08 >>TY: It's like, I can't tell you what's on this page 00:26:23.08\00:26:26.55 because the page hasn't been written yet. 00:26:26.55\00:26:28.98 >>JEFFREY: That's it. 00:26:28.98\00:26:30.05 >>JAMES: But the ink of history is dry, as they say. 00:26:30.05\00:26:32.05 >>TY: Yeah, so, so, what does it mean here in verse 4, 00:26:32.05\00:26:37.53 Jeffrey, when it says, many shall run to and fro and 00:26:37.53\00:26:40.90 knowledge shall be increased? 00:26:40.90\00:26:42.06 Isn't that essentially, I mean, in the context, it's 00:26:42.06\00:26:45.87 telling us that the running to and fro and the increase of 00:26:45.87\00:26:49.07 knowledge is going to be regarding the prophecies of 00:26:49.07\00:26:53.41 Daniel that were closed. 00:26:53.41\00:26:55.18 >>JEFFREY: I think so because, in verse 10, there's another 00:26:55.18\00:26:58.18 emphasis, whatever is unfolding, some will not 00:26:58.18\00:27:03.25 understand, some will understand. 00:27:03.25\00:27:05.25 >>TY: So, understanding is the issue. 00:27:05.25\00:27:06.72 >>JEFFREY: I think understanding certain things 00:27:06.72\00:27:08.76 that pertain to the book of Daniel and that are in the 00:27:08.76\00:27:12.23 context of time and the fulfillment of time, that's 00:27:12.23\00:27:16.13 what it's talking about. 00:27:16.13\00:27:17.53 >>TY: Daniel himself didn't understand. 00:27:17.53\00:27:18.83 >>JEFFREY: Right. 00:27:18.83\00:27:20.00 >>TY: He was in, just meltdown over the fact that you've 00:27:20.00\00:27:24.14 revealed all these things to me in chapters, mainly 00:27:24.14\00:27:28.54 chapters 7 and 8, and chapter 9, he said, I didn't 00:27:28.54\00:27:32.48 understand it and the angel Gabriel basically came to him 00:27:32.48\00:27:36.45 with the bad news that, you're not gonna understand it, it's 00:27:36.45\00:27:39.59 closed to your understanding, you don't live in that period 00:27:39.59\00:27:42.36 of time that this pertains to. 00:27:42.36\00:27:44.46 It's for the time of the end, but when that time comes, many 00:27:44.46\00:27:49.73 will run to and fro would be equivalent to eat the little 00:27:49.73\00:27:53.60 book in Revelation. 00:27:53.60\00:27:56.00 Running to and fro, for, a Hebrew audience, conjures up 00:27:56.00\00:28:00.98 the image, 'cause they didn't have books where you turn 00:28:00.98\00:28:03.45 pages, they had scrolls that you unroll on tables and 00:28:03.45\00:28:06.61 you're running back and forth, comparing scripture to 00:28:06.61\00:28:09.95 scripture to understand, you're running to and fro and 00:28:09.95\00:28:13.62 your knowledge of the prophecies is increasing. 00:28:13.62\00:28:16.83 >>JEFFREY: Yeah, go ahead. 00:28:16.83\00:28:18.03 >>JAMES: I was just gonna say, which is incredible because 00:28:18.03\00:28:19.43 Daniel is set up in Ezekiel 28 as one of the wisest, you 00:28:19.43\00:28:23.53 know, are you wiser than Daniel? 00:28:23.53\00:28:25.93 I mean, Daniel was wise. 00:28:25.93\00:28:27.14 And it tells us that prophecy isn't about how much wisdom 00:28:27.14\00:28:29.20 you have, prophecy is about this connection with God... 00:28:29.20\00:28:33.48 >>JEFFREY: What God has revealed. 00:28:33.48\00:28:34.68 >>JAMES: Yeah, understanding and living in a time when that 00:28:34.68\00:28:36.71 thing is revealed, because even in Daniel 12, the certain 00:28:36.71\00:28:39.75 man stands on the rivers of the water and on the land, but 00:28:39.75\00:28:44.02 in Revelation 10, he stands on the earth and on the sea. 00:28:44.02\00:28:47.69 >>TY: It's global. 00:28:47.69\00:28:48.52 >>JAMES: It's a global, so God is... 00:28:48.52\00:28:49.79 >>TY: Wait, repeat that, what, the comparison? 00:28:49.79\00:28:52.73 >>JAMES: In Daniel chapter 12, this certain man is standing, 00:28:52.73\00:28:56.16 it says here, verse 5, this heavenly being is standing, 00:28:56.16\00:29:00.27 he's called a certain man, but this heavenly being is 00:29:00.27\00:29:02.40 standing on the river, one side of the river of the bank 00:29:02.40\00:29:04.67 and the other side of the river of the bank. 00:29:04.67\00:29:06.24 But when you get to Revelation chapter... 00:29:06.24\00:29:07.64 >>DAVID: That's local. 00:29:07.64\00:29:08.64 >>JAMES: That's local, that's limited. 00:29:08.64\00:29:09.94 But when you get to Revelation 10, he has one foot on the 00:29:09.94\00:29:13.52 land and the other foot on the sea. 00:29:13.52\00:29:15.45 >>TY: The whole world. 00:29:15.45\00:29:16.35 >>JAMES: That's global. 00:29:16.35\00:29:17.29 It's global. 00:29:17.29\00:29:18.35 >>JEFFREY: So, the book that was open in his hand in 00:29:18.35\00:29:21.59 Revelation 10:2 is the same book that was sealed in Daniel 00:29:21.59\00:29:24.86 chapter 12, and so, therefore, we would just conclude that if 00:29:24.86\00:29:28.63 it's now open, then the events taking place in the 10th 00:29:28.63\00:29:32.33 chapter of Revelation are the events predicted, related to 00:29:32.33\00:29:36.04 the... 00:29:36.04\00:29:37.17 >>JAMES: One more thing, one more thing, no more delay. 00:29:37.17\00:29:40.24 So, Daniel wants to know, no, it's delayed, it's delayed, 00:29:40.24\00:29:43.45 this time's gonna, so you come here, there's no more delay, 00:29:43.45\00:29:46.05 there's no more time now that your book is gonna be sealed. 00:29:46.05\00:29:49.08 You don't have to wait anymore. 00:29:49.08\00:29:50.25 >>DAVID: Your number has come up. 00:29:50.25\00:29:51.45 >>TY: So, let's identify the exact prophecy that was closed 00:29:51.45\00:29:54.99 to Daniel's understanding that was opened at the end time 00:29:54.99\00:30:00.40 segment of history, symbolized by John eating the little 00:30:00.40\00:30:02.90 book. 00:30:02.90\00:30:03.73 So, see if you guys agree with this. 00:30:03.73\00:30:05.60 We're kind of working backwards here, again, to 00:30:05.60\00:30:08.14 achieve clarity for those who are sitting with us in this 00:30:08.14\00:30:11.67 discussion. 00:30:11.67\00:30:13.07 We began in Revelation 10 and we read about John having an 00:30:13.07\00:30:18.11 experience, and then, we identified the language as 00:30:18.11\00:30:21.45 coming from the book of Daniel, and we've said, in 00:30:21.45\00:30:25.32 chapter 12 of Daniel, Daniel is told, your book is shut up, 00:30:25.32\00:30:30.13 it's sealed, but it will be opened in the time of the end. 00:30:30.13\00:30:32.83 We're in Daniel 12 now, so, now we're going back further, 00:30:32.83\00:30:35.53 we're rewinding. 00:30:35.53\00:30:36.73 We're saying, okay, Daniel, in chapter 12 and verse 4, what 00:30:36.73\00:30:39.87 is it that was sealed? 00:30:39.87\00:30:43.07 What did Daniel not understand and that's back in chapter 8, 00:30:43.07\00:30:46.34 isn't it? 00:30:46.34\00:30:47.54 >>JEFFREY: I think that we're retracing, but it's natural 00:30:47.54\00:30:49.71 because it's based on the key word. 00:30:49.71\00:30:51.68 So, in chapter 12, it says, seal up this vision, seal up 00:30:51.68\00:30:55.32 these words, but in Daniel 8 and verse 26, there's 00:30:55.32\00:31:00.29 reference to a vision in regard to evenings and 00:31:00.29\00:31:04.76 mornings, a time frame, it says, seal up the vision 00:31:04.76\00:31:09.86 because it refers to many days in the future. 00:31:09.86\00:31:12.47 The language... 00:31:12.47\00:31:13.64 >>TY: So, then, we're working backwards. 00:31:13.64\00:31:14.87 >>JEFFREY: So, the language is almost exact, verbatim to what 00:31:14.87\00:31:18.17 we read in chapter 12. 00:31:18.17\00:31:19.77 >>TY: Yeah, 12:4 traces back to 8:26 and 8:26 traces back 00:31:19.77\00:31:24.31 to 8:14. 00:31:24.31\00:31:27.02 >>DAVID: 8:13 and 14. 00:31:27.02\00:31:28.15 Because 8:14, this goes back to how we began our whole 00:31:28.15\00:31:31.42 study of Revelation, which is that two word question that's 00:31:31.42\00:31:34.42 pregnant with pathos and frustration, even, and 00:31:34.42\00:31:38.29 incredulity. 00:31:38.29\00:31:40.13 How long? 00:31:40.13\00:31:41.46 How long? 00:31:41.46\00:31:43.10 There's this rampaging, anti-Christian power that's 00:31:43.10\00:31:47.70 having its way with God, with his people, with his truth, 00:31:47.70\00:31:50.61 with his sanctuary, and it's like, how long? 00:31:50.61\00:31:54.81 >>TY: Take us there, David. 00:31:54.81\00:31:55.98 Those are the verses that we've traced back, we've come 00:31:55.98\00:31:59.85 from, just to make it clear again, we've come from 00:31:59.85\00:32:03.62 Revelation 10, which we traced back, the language, to Daniel 00:32:03.62\00:32:09.72 12, verse 4, which refers back to chapter 8, verse 26, which 00:32:09.72\00:32:15.33 refers back to chapter 8, verse 14. 00:32:15.33\00:32:17.70 So... 00:32:17.70\00:32:19.60 >>JAMES: And the same characters are mentioned in 13 00:32:19.60\00:32:21.60 and 14, are mentioned in Revelation 12. 00:32:21.60\00:32:23.94 The certain man, and the two, one asking the other. 00:32:23.94\00:32:26.57 >>DAVID: Yeah. 00:32:26.57\00:32:27.78 So, the question is, Daniel overhears this conversation, I 00:32:27.78\00:32:30.55 heard a certain one speaking to the other, how long, verse 00:32:30.55\00:32:36.08 13, will the vision be, concerning the daily 00:32:36.08\00:32:38.15 sacrifices and the transgression of desolation to 00:32:38.15\00:32:40.46 give both the sanctuary and the host, that is to say, 00:32:40.46\00:32:44.56 God's people, to be trampled underfoot. 00:32:44.56\00:32:47.00 That doesn't sound good at all. 00:32:47.00\00:32:48.66 >>TY: So, there's persecution going on. 00:32:48.66\00:32:50.23 >>DAVID: Persecution, there's a war being waged against 00:32:50.23\00:32:52.33 truth, against God, against the sanctuary. 00:32:52.33\00:32:54.40 Then, the answer is, and he said to me, verse 14, unto 00:32:54.40\00:32:59.11 2,300 days, then the sanctuary will be cleansed. 00:32:59.11\00:33:02.54 >>TY: This is incredible. 00:33:02.54\00:33:03.61 >>DAVID: It's really incredible. 00:33:03.61\00:33:04.98 That's a long period of time, which is why he says, in verse 00:33:04.98\00:33:06.82 26, hey, this is for the distant future. 00:33:06.82\00:33:10.02 2300 literal days is like, what, 7 years or something, 8 00:33:10.02\00:33:12.79 years. 00:33:12.79\00:33:14.12 But 2300 days as years, because this is prophecy and 00:33:14.12\00:33:18.59 we find in this scatological or end time prophecy, a day is 00:33:18.59\00:33:22.36 a year. 00:33:22.36\00:33:23.53 Well, that's a very long time. 00:33:23.53\00:33:25.60 That's two millennia and then some which, guess what, brings 00:33:25.60\00:33:28.94 us down to a period in Revelation 10 where the 00:33:28.94\00:33:32.57 prophecies of Daniel were being studied, they were being 00:33:32.57\00:33:34.78 studied vigorously, running to and fro, a period, an actual 00:33:34.78\00:33:37.41 period in earth's history that was built around an 00:33:37.41\00:33:40.52 understanding of this prophecy. 00:33:40.52\00:33:43.02 >>JAMES: And that lines up with seven churches. 00:33:43.02\00:33:44.65 It lines up perfectly with the seven churches. 00:33:44.65\00:33:45.89 It lines up with the church of Philadelphia. 00:33:45.89\00:33:47.16 So, again, we're confirming that prophetic cycle. 00:33:47.16\00:33:49.16 >>TY: But it's grounded in actual historic events that 00:33:49.16\00:33:52.46 happened right here in the United States of America, 00:33:52.46\00:33:56.13 there was an actual awakening of spiritual interest. 00:33:56.13\00:34:00.57 Sometimes, ministry referred to in the history books. 00:34:00.57\00:34:03.30 I mean, you can look it up on Wikipedia. 00:34:03.30\00:34:05.77 I mean, this is just history unfolded where there was an 00:34:05.77\00:34:10.48 awakening of worldwide interest, specifically in the 00:34:10.48\00:34:16.15 book of Daniel. 00:34:16.15\00:34:17.05 Just think of that. 00:34:17.05\00:34:17.99 Think about, think about it moving forward. 00:34:17.99\00:34:21.39 Daniel receives a vision about a 2300 day prophecy. 00:34:21.39\00:34:24.86 The angel tells him, Daniel, it's not for your time, it's 00:34:24.86\00:34:27.50 sealed up, you'll never understand it in your 00:34:27.50\00:34:28.93 lifetime. 00:34:28.93\00:34:30.00 This is for many days in the future, the end of time. 00:34:30.00\00:34:32.20 Many will run to and fro studying the scriptures and 00:34:32.20\00:34:36.40 they're gonna understand it, chapter 12, verse 4. 00:34:36.40\00:34:39.04 Come to Revelation chapter 10, and John is told, eat the 00:34:39.04\00:34:44.31 little book, it's gonna be sweet in your mouth, bitter in 00:34:44.31\00:34:46.61 your belly, and in real time history, that actually 00:34:46.61\00:34:51.29 happened. 00:34:51.29\00:34:52.35 There was a revival of interest where people began, 00:34:52.35\00:34:57.43 globally, to study the book of Daniel, specifically chapter 8 00:34:57.43\00:35:02.13 to figure out the meaning of this 2300 day prophecy. 00:35:02.13\00:35:05.63 >>JAMES: And the sanctuary and the cleansing. 00:35:05.63\00:35:07.64 >>TY: So, what happened in that awakening is, they began 00:35:07.64\00:35:13.01 to understand, first of all, just what David pointed out 00:35:13.01\00:35:16.91 that, wait a minute, this couldn't be day for day, 2300 00:35:16.91\00:35:20.05 days, it couldn't be, because in fact, if you do the math, 00:35:20.05\00:35:23.39 the angel specifically told Daniel, Daniel, you're not 00:35:23.39\00:35:26.42 gonna understand it in your lifetime, but from chapter 8 00:35:26.42\00:35:29.92 to chapter 12, more than 7 years has gone by in Daniel's 00:35:29.92\00:35:32.93 experience, and he never understood it. 00:35:32.93\00:35:34.93 He died not understanding his own prophecy. 00:35:34.93\00:35:38.17 So, it's not day for day, it's day for year, and it's 2300 00:35:38.17\00:35:42.64 years into the future. 00:35:42.64\00:35:45.21 So, what is that period of time and how does it break 00:35:45.21\00:35:50.41 down? 00:35:50.41\00:35:51.58 What is the beginning point, what is the ending point of 00:35:51.58\00:35:55.35 this large swath of history? 00:35:55.35\00:35:57.59 Is there somebody who has it in them to break down exactly, 00:35:57.59\00:36:03.16 well, actually, you know what we should do? 00:36:03.16\00:36:05.16 We should take our break because we're gonna have to 00:36:05.16\00:36:07.40 really do some work here, we're gonna have to do some 00:36:07.40\00:36:10.13 serious bible study. 00:36:10.13\00:36:11.13 >>JAMES: Easy peasy lemon squeezey.

>>DAVID: Not even James can do it in 36 seconds. 00:36:17.61\00:36:19.61 >>TY: Let's take our break and when we come back, we're going 00:36:19.61\00:36:22.44 to, we're gonna devote our time to understanding this 00:36:22.44\00:36:25.25 2300 year period of time, when it starts, when it ends, and 00:36:25.25\00:36:31.19 realize where we are in history. 00:36:31.19\00:36:33.76 >>JAMES: Amen.

00:37:34.78\00:37:37.55 difficult parts of scripture, but I think that we've set 00:37:37.55\00:37:42.02 ourselves up to understand this difficult and amazing 00:37:42.02\00:37:44.89 passage. 00:37:44.89\00:37:46.09 It's Daniel 8:14, unto 2,300 days, then shall the sanctuary 00:37:46.09\00:37:50.43 be cleansed. 00:37:50.43\00:37:51.50 Now, I just wanna pause because we went by very fast 00:37:51.50\00:37:55.84 and said that a day equals a year. 00:37:55.84\00:37:58.47 We need to point out the fact that Daniel and Revelation are 00:37:58.47\00:38:02.01 highly symbolic books, and because they're symbolic, it 00:38:02.01\00:38:05.15 shouldn't come as a surprise to us that a day equals a year 00:38:05.15\00:38:09.15 in bible prophecy. 00:38:09.15\00:38:10.29 There are actual verses that just straight up say a day 00:38:10.29\00:38:13.46 equals a year. 00:38:13.46\00:38:14.56 >>JAMES: Ezekiel 4:6, Numbers 14:34. 00:38:14.56\00:38:17.39 >>TY: Those two verses just straight out tell us, a day 00:38:17.39\00:38:20.00 equals a year in prophecy. 00:38:20.00\00:38:21.96 Not all prophecy, but we know that this is one of the 00:38:21.96\00:38:24.80 instances where a day equals a year because the angel 00:38:24.80\00:38:28.37 specifically tells Daniel, your prophecy is for the end 00:38:28.37\00:38:34.14 of time. 00:38:34.14\00:38:35.48 So, we know that it's a day for a year because it's 00:38:35.48\00:38:36.48 extending all the way out. 00:38:36.48\00:38:37.91 >>JEFFREY: And unless the end of time took place 7 or 8 00:38:37.91\00:38:39.31 years after Daniel. 00:38:39.31\00:38:40.55 >>TY: That's right, that's the point. 00:38:40.55\00:38:42.05 That's the point. 00:38:42.05\00:38:43.18 Okay, so Daniel 8:14, he's told, Daniel is told, well, 00:38:43.18\00:38:47.72 let's just back up. 00:38:47.72\00:38:48.82 There's a conversation between two angels in 13 and 14. 00:38:48.82\00:38:52.16 >>DAVID: And anti-Christian powers waging war against God, 00:38:52.16\00:38:55.50 his sanctuary, truth, his Messiah, how long? 00:38:55.50\00:38:58.57 >>TY: An angel is asking, how long? 00:38:58.57\00:39:00.57 And another angle answers and says, well, I'll tell you how 00:39:00.57\00:39:02.57 long. 00:39:02.57\00:39:03.67 It's gonna extend all the way down 2300 years into the 00:39:03.67\00:39:06.74 future from some starting date to some ending date. 00:39:06.74\00:39:10.65 Then, the thing kinda goes dark. 00:39:10.65\00:39:13.01 Daniel's freaked out, he doesn't understand what's 00:39:13.01\00:39:15.48 being told him. 00:39:15.48\00:39:16.92 There are reasons for that that we've pointed out, 00:39:16.92\00:39:18.95 because it doesn't pertain to his time. 00:39:18.95\00:39:20.49 But he's still, he didn't have the historical perspective. 00:39:20.49\00:39:22.59 He wanted to understand it. 00:39:22.59\00:39:24.19 He goes into this prayer for his own people because he's 00:39:24.19\00:39:28.83 interceding on behalf of Israel. 00:39:28.83\00:39:31.57 He's a captive slave in Babylon and he wants so badly 00:39:31.57\00:39:36.34 for what the angel is showing him to pertain to him and his 00:39:36.34\00:39:39.47 people right now. 00:39:39.47\00:39:40.91 But it doesn't. 00:39:40.91\00:39:42.24 And so, after his prayer, this is fascinating, the angel 00:39:42.24\00:39:45.85 returns and says, okay, Daniel, now, now, I've come to 00:39:45.85\00:39:52.29 break this down for you. 00:39:52.29\00:39:53.96 This is in chapter 9, starting with verse, where would you 00:39:53.96\00:39:59.89 guys start? 00:39:59.89\00:40:00.96 The man Gabriel comes to him in chapter 9, verse 21. 00:40:00.96\00:40:04.63 And then, in chapter 9, verse 23. 00:40:04.63\00:40:08.14 >>DAVID: At the beginning of your prayer. 00:40:08.14\00:40:09.87 >>TY: At the beginning of your prayer and supplication, the 00:40:09.87\00:40:12.51 command went out and I have now come, I have come to tell 00:40:12.51\00:40:17.28 you, for you are greatly beloved. 00:40:17.28\00:40:20.92 Therefore, consider the matter and understand the vision. 00:40:20.92\00:40:24.89 The vision that Gabriel the angel has now come to explain 00:40:24.89\00:40:29.72 to Daniel, very clearly, is the vision of chapter 8, 00:40:29.72\00:40:34.13 specifically, verse 14. 00:40:34.13\00:40:35.60 So, there are two reasons why we know this, because it is 00:40:35.60\00:40:38.90 the immediately antecedent vision. 00:40:38.90\00:40:42.10 There's a second reason we know that that's what he's 00:40:42.10\00:40:44.11 come to explain, because what he breaks down from verse 24 00:40:44.11\00:40:48.61 onward has to do with time, the breaking down of time and 00:40:48.61\00:40:53.82 the only time element previous to this point is Daniel 8:14. 00:40:53.82\00:40:59.65 >>DAVID: That was unexplained, or not understood. 00:40:59.65\00:41:02.89 >>JEFFREY: And the third reason is because, in verse 00:41:02.89\00:41:04.96 24, when he begins, he uses the phrase, this chunk of time 00:41:04.96\00:41:09.16 is taken out of a bigger chunk of time. 00:41:09.16\00:41:13.77 >>TY: So, there's a bigger chunk of time, that's the 2300 00:41:13.77\00:41:16.50 years and now, verse 24. 00:41:16.50\00:41:20.31 >>JEFFREY: Seventy weeks are cut off, determined for your 00:41:20.31\00:41:22.91 people, for your holy city to finish the transgression to 00:41:22.91\00:41:26.21 make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity to 00:41:26.21\00:41:30.69 bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up 00:41:30.69\00:41:33.82 vision and prophecy. 00:41:33.82\00:41:35.66 >>TY: Okay, push the pause button right there. 00:41:35.66\00:41:37.03 So, we have, first of all, the angel is just saying, and 00:41:37.03\00:41:38.93 people need to visualize this, draw a picture if necessary. 00:41:38.93\00:41:43.30 You've got 2300 days, 2300 years and the angel come and 00:41:43.30\00:41:48.07 says, well, the first segment here is 70 weeks of that 2300 00:41:48.07\00:41:54.98 day period of time, day equals a year, so that's 70 weeks. 00:41:54.98\00:42:00.52 >>DAVID: 490 days or years. 00:42:00.52\00:42:02.82 >>TY: 490 days or years would be 70 weeks. 00:42:02.82\00:42:07.79 Then, verse 25. 00:42:07.79\00:42:09.49 >>JEFFREY: Yeah, then we're given the starting point. 00:42:09.49\00:42:12.03 Know, therefore, and understand that, from the 00:42:12.03\00:42:15.90 going forth of the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, 00:42:15.90\00:42:20.20 until Messiah the prince, there shall be 7 weeks and 62 00:42:20.20\00:42:24.21 weeks, the streets shall be built again and the wall, even 00:42:24.21\00:42:27.48 in troublesome times. 00:42:27.48\00:42:29.24 >>DAVID: So, 69 weeks. 00:42:29.24\00:42:31.21 But from this starting point, from the going forth of the 00:42:31.21\00:42:36.52 command to the restoring to build Jerusalem, remember, 00:42:36.52\00:42:38.29 Daniel's a captive, Jerusalem is destroyed, the temple is 00:42:38.29\00:42:40.49 destroyed, so, there's gonna be a command to go rebuild the 00:42:40.49\00:42:42.72 temple, and the angel's saying, when that command goes 00:42:42.72\00:42:46.46 forth, there will be 69 weeks out of the, remember, we're 00:42:46.46\00:42:49.63 dealing with 70 here, there'll be 69, and when you get there 00:42:49.63\00:42:52.70 to that 69, that's Messiah. 00:42:52.70\00:42:55.60 Messiah the prince. 00:42:55.60\00:42:56.81 >>TY: Messiah is there at that point, which out of the 490 00:42:56.81\00:42:59.31 years would be 483 years. 00:42:59.31\00:43:02.54 >>DAVID: So, you just had that last little week left. 00:43:02.54\00:43:04.08 Okay, so Messiah comes, there's a week left, 00:43:04.08\00:43:07.68 continuing on, and after the 62 weeks, Messiah will be cut 00:43:07.68\00:43:11.39 off but not for himself. 00:43:11.39\00:43:12.82 Let's just pause there. 00:43:12.82\00:43:14.02 Jesus died. 00:43:14.02\00:43:15.12 >>TY: He will be crucified. 00:43:15.12\00:43:15.99 Not for himself. 00:43:15.99\00:43:17.23 >>DAVID: No, he didn't die for his own sins, he died for our 00:43:17.23\00:43:18.69 sins. 00:43:18.69\00:43:19.83 Right, he, for God so loved the world, right? 00:43:19.83\00:43:22.93 So, he dies there, he's cut off, and then, what happens in 00:43:22.93\00:43:24.53 the wake of that, the rest of verse 26, the people of the 00:43:24.53\00:43:29.50 prince who is to come will destroy the city. 00:43:29.50\00:43:31.31 This is Jerusalem, and the sanctuary, the end of it will 00:43:31.31\00:43:33.88 be with a flood until the end of the world, desolations are 00:43:33.88\00:43:35.78 determined. 00:43:35.78\00:43:36.68 >>TY: That's an instruction of Jerusalem. 00:43:36.68\00:43:37.81 >>DAVID: Yeah, it's a little complicated, but it's the 00:43:37.81\00:43:39.08 destruction of Jerusalem by Rome in AD 70. 00:43:39.08\00:43:42.15 Okay, so far, so good, we're onto it here. 00:43:42.15\00:43:44.39 Then, he, this is Jesus Messiah, will confirm a 00:43:44.39\00:43:49.49 covenant with many for one week. 00:43:49.49\00:43:51.53 That's that 70th week. 00:43:51.53\00:43:52.99 He's confirming this covenant, but in the middle of the week, 00:43:52.99\00:43:56.06 he will bring an end to sacrifice an offering. 00:43:56.06\00:43:57.87 When Jesus died on the cross, the sacrificial system came to 00:43:57.87\00:44:01.64 an end, which was symbolized by the tearing of the veil, 00:44:01.64\00:44:03.87 and I love this little detail, not from the bottom to the 00:44:03.87\00:44:06.78 top, this was a huge veil, if a man would've torn that, he 00:44:06.78\00:44:10.88 would've cut it at the bottom and they would've tried to 00:44:10.88\00:44:12.38 tear it, but it's torn from the top to the bottom, 00:44:12.38\00:44:14.98 symbolizing that God says, okay, we're done with this. 00:44:14.98\00:44:17.09 No more lambs, no more bullocks, no more ox, we're 00:44:17.09\00:44:19.52 not doing that anymore. 00:44:19.52\00:44:20.69 >>TY: They entire symbolic system has now been fulfilled 00:44:20.69\00:44:21.92 in Christ. 00:44:21.92\00:44:23.12 >>DAVID: Exactly. 00:44:23.12\00:44:24.09 And that's the confirmation of the covenant. 00:44:24.09\00:44:26.33 Jesus perfectly loved the Lord his God with all his heart, 00:44:26.33\00:44:28.80 mind, and soul, and his neighbor as himself, did not 00:44:28.80\00:44:30.70 sin, fulfilled the Abrahamic covenant, and so, when he 00:44:30.70\00:44:33.40 died, it's like, okay, the Lamb of God that takes away 00:44:33.40\00:44:36.74 the sin of the world has come, which is why we now don't 00:44:36.74\00:44:40.04 bring lambs and other animals for the purposes of sacrifice 00:44:40.04\00:44:43.01 to church, because that happened, that's historical. 00:44:43.01\00:44:45.91 But Daniel's looking forward to it. 00:44:45.91\00:44:47.78 >>TY: It's fascinating that even the Jewish nation, Israel 00:44:47.78\00:44:51.45 itself, ceased the sacrificial system at that point. 00:44:51.45\00:44:55.36 >>DAVID: Well, not at that point, but in the wake after 00:44:55.36\00:44:57.53 the destruction of Jerusalem. 00:44:57.53\00:44:58.76 After the destruction of their temple, the sacrificial system 00:44:58.76\00:45:02.63 is never yet had been reinstituted, which I think 00:45:02.63\00:45:05.27 personally, is a dramatic fulfillment of this prophecy. 00:45:05.27\00:45:08.80 >>TY: It's incredible. 00:45:08.80\00:45:10.21 >>JAMES: It says, it'll lay desolate even to the 00:45:10.21\00:45:12.17 consummation of the very end of time. 00:45:12.17\00:45:13.88 >>TY: What does that mean? 00:45:13.88\00:45:14.98 >>JAMES: The temple, the temple will desolate 'til the 00:45:14.98\00:45:16.38 very end of time, means that that temple will not be 00:45:16.38\00:45:18.28 rebuilt, and right now, of course, there's a mosque on 00:45:18.28\00:45:21.28 the temple site, so it can't be rebuilt. 00:45:21.28\00:45:23.18 >>DAVID: There aren't a lot of people we should say that we 00:45:23.18\00:45:24.75 think that that's the big story, that there's gonna be a 00:45:24.75\00:45:27.49 temple, it's gonna be rebuilt in literal Jerusalem. 00:45:27.49\00:45:29.59 Scripture says, no. 00:45:29.59\00:45:31.69 >>TY: That's not the big story. 00:45:31.69\00:45:32.93 >>DAVID: The real big story is not the temple on earth, it's 00:45:32.93\00:45:34.93 already been destroyed. 00:45:34.93\00:45:35.93 Solomon's temple was destroyed, the second temple 00:45:35.93\00:45:37.27 was destroyed. 00:45:37.27\00:45:38.33 The real temple is a temple that cannot, will not be 00:45:38.33\00:45:41.34 destroyed. 00:45:41.34\00:45:42.10 >>TY: That Jesus himself... 00:45:42.10\00:45:43.27 >>DAVID: ...is the high priest of. 00:45:43.27\00:45:44.84 >>JEFFREY: This goes back to our initial point about the 00:45:44.84\00:45:46.94 three approaches for interpreting prophecy. 00:45:46.94\00:45:49.41 That, depending on your approach. 00:45:49.41\00:45:51.38 So, there's futuristic, you know, approach, we'll see that 00:45:51.38\00:45:55.15 as something in the future, something that took place in 00:45:55.15\00:45:58.12 the middle east, and it gets all political and so forth. 00:45:58.12\00:46:01.39 So, the historicist position kind of spares you that 00:46:01.39\00:46:05.16 confusion, right? 00:46:05.16\00:46:06.59 And allows you to anchor this in history. 00:46:06.59\00:46:08.86 >>TY: So, somebody summarize, though, because we just said a 00:46:08.86\00:46:11.67 lot. 00:46:11.67\00:46:12.70 Somebody summarize what we just discovered. 00:46:12.70\00:46:15.54 >>DAVID: Well, I don't know if I'm gonna say, I'll say what 00:46:15.54\00:46:17.24 I'm gonna say and if I miss anything, you pick up the 00:46:17.24\00:46:19.47 pace. 00:46:19.47\00:46:20.58 >>TY: Well, say what you were gonna say and summarize. 00:46:20.58\00:46:21.78 >>DAVID: Okay, I'll do my best. 00:46:21.78\00:46:23.18 So, Ty said to draw a line. 00:46:23.18\00:46:24.98 So, you've got this line of this lengthy period, 2300 00:46:24.98\00:46:27.38 days. 00:46:27.38\00:46:28.12 Right? 00:46:28.12\00:46:28.92 Of which that 70 weeks was cut off. 00:46:28.92\00:46:31.09 So, we go from the start point here, which is in and around 00:46:31.09\00:46:34.69 the time of Daniel. 00:46:34.69\00:46:35.82 We can attach a period to that, 457, we can write that 00:46:35.82\00:46:38.49 down, you can go to the book of Ester, this was a decree 00:46:38.49\00:46:40.53 from, to rebuild Jerusalem from a Persian king named 00:46:40.53\00:46:43.87 Xerxes. 00:46:43.87\00:46:45.70 Our point is that, that brings you right down to about the 00:46:45.70\00:46:48.67 point of Jesus. 00:46:48.67\00:46:49.84 So, even if you didn't know this, this AD 457, you would 00:46:49.84\00:46:52.14 just go from about the time of Jesus's crucifixion and work 00:46:52.14\00:46:55.38 back and say, hey, was there a decree back there that sent 00:46:55.38\00:46:58.91 God, oh, there was. 00:46:58.91\00:47:00.12 Okay, great. 00:47:00.12\00:47:01.12 This is hugely convenient. 00:47:01.12\00:47:02.15 >>TY: [Laughter] 00:47:02.15\00:47:03.18 >>JEFFREY: I love that you simulate how would, oh. 00:47:03.18\00:47:05.15 >>DAVID: So, now, what you end up with is you've got your 00:47:05.15\00:47:07.92 2300 timeframe, your long period, of which you have the 00:47:07.92\00:47:12.13 smaller 490 that's cut off. 00:47:12.13\00:47:14.20 Well, you still have this whole period out here. 00:47:14.20\00:47:16.26 >>TY: 1810 years. 00:47:16.26\00:47:17.30 >>DAVID: Yeah, exactly, 1,810 years that remain. 00:47:17.30\00:47:21.77 So, we follow that and it brings us to the very period 00:47:21.77\00:47:26.91 described that you were talking about earlier, Ty, of 00:47:26.91\00:47:29.98 an awakening of a revival, largely under the preaching of 00:47:29.98\00:47:33.05 a Baptist preacher named William Miller, sometimes 00:47:33.05\00:47:36.05 called Millerism, sometimes called Adventism, it was an 00:47:36.05\00:47:38.75 anticipation of Jesus. 00:47:38.75\00:47:40.29 Jesus is coming again, he's returning, he's gonna be here 00:47:40.29\00:47:42.96 in 1844. 00:47:42.96\00:47:44.33 They preached this, they believed this. 00:47:44.33\00:47:46.33 They were passionate, based on the prophecy of Daniel 8 and 00:47:46.33\00:47:50.43 9. 00:47:50.43\00:47:51.63 They were passionate, and as we know here, we're sitting in 00:47:51.63\00:47:54.50 2016, Jesus didn't come, they were wrong. 00:47:54.50\00:47:56.77 >>TY: They were short and wrong. 00:47:56.77\00:47:59.34 >>DAVID: Right about the time, wrong about the events. 00:47:59.34\00:48:02.18 I don't know if that's a good summary. 00:48:02.18\00:48:04.55 >>TY: That is a very good summary because that, now that 00:48:04.55\00:48:07.75 we've done that work in Daniel, we can go back, 00:48:07.75\00:48:10.79 forward now to Revelation 10, and we can crack the code 00:48:10.79\00:48:14.99 there, we can understand what is that is being revealed. 00:48:14.99\00:48:18.43 >>JEFFREY: I was just gonna say that what you've just 00:48:18.43\00:48:20.43 described, that sort of anticipation and that letdown 00:48:20.43\00:48:23.23 fits perfectly with the way this is described in chapter 00:48:23.23\00:48:27.70 10, where John was to take the book and eat it, initially, it 00:48:27.70\00:48:32.94 would be sweet, and then, it would lead to a bitter 00:48:32.94\00:48:37.88 experience. 00:48:37.88\00:48:39.21 >>TY: Emphasize that, though, because this is a crucial part 00:48:39.21\00:48:42.65 of history, where sweet, bitter is a comparison. 00:48:42.65\00:48:47.96 Sweet in your mouth, we know for an absolute fact by the 00:48:47.96\00:48:51.03 internal evidence of the text that the book that is being 00:48:51.03\00:48:54.76 ingested, eaten, masticated, processed, is the prophecies 00:48:54.76\00:48:58.83 of the book of Daniel, specifically Daniel 8:14. 00:48:58.83\00:49:02.97 What would be sweet about that? 00:49:02.97\00:49:04.71 Well, they believed Jesus was coming. 00:49:04.71\00:49:06.94 >>DAVID: Amen, hallelujah, thank you Jesus. 00:49:06.94\00:49:09.88 >>TY: But then, why is it bitter in the belly? 00:49:09.88\00:49:12.28 Why would it be, well, he didn't come. 00:49:12.28\00:49:14.92 Can you imagine a more traumatic experience for human 00:49:14.92\00:49:18.75 beings than to be crying out from your inmost soul, as 00:49:18.75\00:49:24.03 Revelation points out, how long? 00:49:24.03\00:49:27.03 And finally, you begin to understand, we know how long. 00:49:27.03\00:49:31.07 Jesus is coming. 00:49:31.07\00:49:32.73 Sin, suffering. 00:49:32.73\00:49:34.04 >>JEFFREY: Imagine what the night before was like. 00:49:34.04\00:49:36.30 >>TY: Oh, just amazing. 00:49:36.30\00:49:38.04 >>JEFFREY: Imagine what that night was, yeah, that 00:49:38.04\00:49:40.01 anticipation and then, you're watching the sun and it goes 00:49:40.01\00:49:42.91 down and it comes back up. 00:49:42.91\00:49:45.05 And then it settles on you. 00:49:45.05\00:49:49.05 >>TY: We know exactly what it was like because we have 00:49:49.05\00:49:51.45 firsthand testimony from people who were so devastated 00:49:51.45\00:49:57.73 that they threw in the towel completely and decided they 00:49:57.73\00:50:00.90 didn't believe in God anymore at all and then, we have 00:50:00.90\00:50:03.63 testimony of people who said, but it was just too clear. 00:50:03.63\00:50:09.34 Daniel 8:14. 00:50:09.34\00:50:11.37 Something's going on here, but we don't know what it is, we 00:50:11.37\00:50:14.84 don't know what it was, something must've happened 00:50:14.84\00:50:17.68 because, let's rehearse again, let's go back over it again, 00:50:17.68\00:50:21.78 over it again. 00:50:21.78\00:50:23.08 The date is solid. 00:50:23.08\00:50:24.75 The date is solid, but it's not the second coming of 00:50:24.75\00:50:27.59 Jesus, what in the world is it that is taking place when we 00:50:27.59\00:50:33.63 come to that period of the end of the 2300 day prophecy, 00:50:33.63\00:50:36.90 which, by the way, did you say the time? 00:50:36.90\00:50:38.70 The time, if we begin with 457 BC as the starting point of 00:50:38.70\00:50:43.24 the 2300 day prophecy, we come to the time of Christ with 27 00:50:43.24\00:50:48.04 AD, 31, 34, that period, the final week, and we go 1810 00:50:48.04\00:50:52.21 years forward, we come to the year 1844. 00:50:52.21\00:50:55.82 It is not at all in the realm of possibility that it could 00:50:55.82\00:51:00.96 be coincidental that, that prophecy comes out to 1844 and 00:51:00.96\00:51:04.93 that there just happened to be a group of people who, at that 00:51:04.93\00:51:07.00 time, studied the book of Daniel and thought he was 00:51:07.00\00:51:09.13 coming in 1844. 00:51:09.13\00:51:10.47 >>DAVID: And let's remind ourselves of something that 00:51:10.47\00:51:13.94 you already said, Ty, and this was not, like, a group of 12 00:51:13.94\00:51:16.71 people sitting in a room. 00:51:16.71\00:51:17.91 This was a massive movement, particularly in the northeast 00:51:17.91\00:51:20.21 United States, but it was worldwide. 00:51:20.21\00:51:22.21 There were people that were, had scriptures, in Christian 00:51:22.21\00:51:25.01 situations, they really, genuinely believed, many of 00:51:25.01\00:51:28.78 them, tens of thousands and tens of thousands, going to 00:51:28.78\00:51:31.72 camp meetings and listening to preaching. 00:51:31.72\00:51:33.79 They really believed, it was called Millerism, it was 00:51:33.79\00:51:35.79 called Adventism, there are political cartoons about. 00:51:35.79\00:51:38.23 >>JEFFREY: I was just about to say, I have actually seen the 00:51:38.23\00:51:40.23 newspaper clippings of just the public, just ridiculing 00:51:40.23\00:51:43.90 these people. 00:51:43.90\00:51:45.10 >>TY: Everybody at that point who was a Baptist wanted to 00:51:45.10\00:51:48.24 run and hide because William Miller was a Baptist preacher 00:51:48.24\00:51:52.11 and Christianity in general was ashamed of the fact that a 00:51:52.11\00:51:57.45 time was set for the second coming and it failed. 00:51:57.45\00:52:00.22 It made Christianity look bad, to say the least, but this is 00:52:00.22\00:52:04.65 amazing to me, as the people continued studying scripture, 00:52:04.65\00:52:10.16 it began to open to their understanding that wow, wait a 00:52:10.16\00:52:13.56 minute, right date, wrong event, and here's the amazing 00:52:13.56\00:52:17.47 thing, some people have said, historically, that movement 00:52:17.47\00:52:20.74 could not have been of God, that movement could not have 00:52:20.74\00:52:24.04 been of God because they were wrong about the event, but 00:52:24.04\00:52:27.41 what about the disciples? 00:52:27.41\00:52:29.24 Are we prepared to say that the disciples of Jesus and 00:52:29.24\00:52:34.88 Jesus himself, that that whole thing was a false movement 00:52:34.88\00:52:38.35 because they thought that he was gonna set up his kingdom 00:52:38.35\00:52:41.09 on earth and he didn't? 00:52:41.09\00:52:42.32 >>JEFFREY: What about the fact that, the point that you love 00:52:42.32\00:52:45.36 to make, the fact that both the disciples in the early 00:52:45.36\00:52:49.90 church and this antimovement we're talking about, both of 00:52:49.90\00:52:53.57 their disappointments were based on a misunderstanding of 00:52:53.57\00:52:56.24 the writings of the same prophecy, of Daniel. 00:52:56.24\00:52:59.61 First, the Messiah. 00:52:59.61\00:53:00.74 Why would he confuse us to the Messiah dying? 00:53:00.74\00:53:04.45 When Daniel had foretold that? 00:53:04.45\00:53:06.65 It was a misunderstanding of what God was up to in his 00:53:06.65\00:53:09.98 Messianic activity. 00:53:09.98\00:53:11.25 And then, you have the same thing happening in the 19th 00:53:11.25\00:53:13.56 century. 00:53:13.56\00:53:14.96 >>JAMES: They thought that he was coming, the Messiah was 00:53:14.96\00:53:16.19 coming to wipe out the Romans and establish God's kingdom on 00:53:16.19\00:53:18.23 earth. 00:53:18.23\00:53:19.46 But he didn't come to do that, he came to die and then to go 00:53:19.46\00:53:21.33 into the heavenly sanctuary. 00:53:21.33\00:53:23.16 Then, the Millerites thought that he was coming to wipe out 00:53:23.16\00:53:26.80 the wicked and establish his kingdom. 00:53:26.80\00:53:29.07 The sanctuary was the earth, the earth was gonna be 00:53:29.07\00:53:30.57 cleansed. 00:53:30.57\00:53:31.81 But he didn't, he went into the second phase of the 00:53:31.81\00:53:35.61 heavenly sanctuary. 00:53:35.61\00:53:36.78 So, both of them involve the sanctuary in heaven, both of 00:53:36.78\00:53:39.71 them involve a misconception of God's kingdom on earth and 00:53:39.71\00:53:42.32 both of them involve the misunderstanding of what he 00:53:42.32\00:53:44.02 was coming to do. 00:53:44.02\00:53:45.59 And both of them were based on the same time frame. 00:53:45.59\00:53:48.12 >>JEFFREY: For anybody who wants to read about the bitter 00:53:48.12\00:53:50.16 experience about the early, Luke 24, is it? 00:53:50.16\00:53:54.73 Luke 24. 00:53:54.73\00:53:55.73 That's their bitterness experience. 00:53:55.73\00:53:59.07 >>TY: We thought he was the one, I guess he wasn't. 00:53:59.07\00:54:02.24 Well, no, he was, you understood the time, you 00:54:02.24\00:54:06.31 encountered the true Messiah, but you didn't understand the 00:54:06.31\00:54:09.08 nature of his work. 00:54:09.08\00:54:11.18 You didn't see what he was really up to, what he was 00:54:11.18\00:54:13.48 doing, it's the same thing with this experience. 00:54:13.48\00:54:17.49 >>DAVID: As Revelation 10 closes, in the context of our 00:54:17.49\00:54:19.75 study here in this Revelation series, there is this 00:54:19.75\00:54:24.13 anticipation of, well, wait a minute, we have to revisit 00:54:24.13\00:54:27.36 this. 00:54:27.36\00:54:28.10 That was a mistake. 00:54:28.10\00:54:29.23 There's unfinished business here because the very last 00:54:29.23\00:54:31.43 verse of verse 10 says, and he said to me, this is when the 00:54:31.43\00:54:34.34 bitter experience has happened, you must prophecy, 00:54:34.34\00:54:37.01 again, about or to many peoples, nations, tongues, and 00:54:37.01\00:54:41.84 kings. 00:54:41.84\00:54:43.01 In other words, this message of the 2300 day prophecy, of 00:54:43.01\00:54:45.15 the prophecies of Daniel, will go to the world again. 00:54:45.15\00:54:49.05 So, we're sort of left there. 00:54:49.05\00:54:51.95 >>TY: Yeah, it feels like this great disappointment they 00:54:51.95\00:54:54.72 experienced, this bitter experience, it feels like it's 00:54:54.72\00:54:57.13 the end of something, just close up shop, go home. 00:54:57.13\00:55:00.63 >>JEFFREY: It's the beginning of something. 00:55:00.63\00:55:02.00 >>TY: But it's actually the beginning of something. 00:55:02.00\00:55:03.33 You must prophecy again on a global scale. 00:55:03.33\00:55:07.17 There's a message to be given that is grounded in the book 00:55:07.17\00:55:11.77 of Daniel and the book of Revelation is going to be the 00:55:11.77\00:55:16.51 key to understanding those prophecies. 00:55:16.51\00:55:19.81 There's a sense in which any human being on planet earth 00:55:19.81\00:55:23.52 who begins to understand the prophecies of Daniel in 00:55:23.52\00:55:26.52 Revelation, those human beings themselves are prophecy in 00:55:26.52\00:55:30.66 fulfillment. 00:55:30.66\00:55:32.06 They're experiencing the fulfillment of prophecy in 00:55:32.06\00:55:36.80 their very hearts and lives and in their witness regarding 00:55:36.80\00:55:41.20 these prophecies. 00:55:41.20\00:55:43.14 It's amazing. 00:55:43.14\00:55:44.81 So, we've covered a lot, but what we've come to understand 00:55:44.81\00:55:49.38 is that the book of Revelation is understood in the light of 00:55:49.38\00:55:54.08 the prophecies in the book of Daniel. 00:55:54.08\00:55:56.08 Now, as we launch forward further into our study, we're 00:55:56.08\00:55:59.95 gonna discover that there are more gems of truth that are 00:55:59.95\00:56:03.96 revealed when we compare these two books. 00:56:03.96\00:56:07.23 [Music] 00:56:07.23\00:56:17.27 [Music] 00:56:17.27\00:56:29.55 00:56:29.55\00:56:44.53
