00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:25.639
Firstly,<00:03:21.479><c> it</c><00:03:21.520><c> says</c><00:03:21.780><c> in</c><00:03:22.000><c> verse</c><00:03:22.259><c> 20,</c><00:03:23.199><c> when</c><00:03:23.419><c> he</c><00:03:23.620><c> looked</c><00:03:23.860><c> on</c><00:03:24.300><c> Amalek,</c><00:03:24.939><c> he</c><00:03:25.180><c> took</c><00:03:25.460><c> up</c>

his<00:03:25.879><c> parable</c><00:03:26.199><c> and</c><00:03:26.419><c> said,</c>

00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.340

00:03:34.219 --> 00:03:35.900
Now,<00:03:34.460><c> what</c><00:03:34.580><c> do</c><00:03:34.719><c> you</c><00:03:34.719><c> think</c><00:03:34.800><c> it</c><00:03:34.979><c> means</c><00:03:35.159><c> when</c><00:03:35.319><c> it</c><00:03:35.460><c> says</c><00:03:35.560><c> Amalek</c>

00:03:37.539 --> 00:03:40.479
Because<00:03:37.780><c> Amalek</c><00:03:38.180><c> wasn't</c><00:03:38.479><c> the</c><00:03:38.719><c> first</c><00:03:38.979><c> of</c><00:03:39.159><c> the</c><00:03:39.400><c> nations</c><00:03:39.680><c> in</c><00:03:39.840><c> terms</c><00:03:40.120><c> of</c>

00:03:42.659 --> 00:03:44.740
He<00:03:42.800><c> wasn't</c><00:03:43.039><c> the</c><00:03:43.259><c> first</c><00:03:43.439><c> of</c><00:03:43.599><c> the</c><00:03:43.719><c> nations</c><00:03:43.939><c> in</c><00:03:44.139><c> terms</c><00:03:44.360><c> of</c><00:03:44.520><c> order</c>

00:03:47.139 --> 00:03:53.879
But<00:03:47.919><c> the</c><00:03:48.340><c> margin</c><00:03:48.819><c> says</c><00:03:49.599><c> he</c><00:03:51.319><c> was</c><00:03:51.639><c> the</c><00:03:51.860><c> first</c><00:03:52.479><c> of</c><00:03:53.039><c> the</c><00:03:53.219><c> nations</c>

00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.780
that<00:03:54.819><c> warred</c><00:03:55.520><c> against</c><00:03:56.039><c> Israel.</c>

00:03:57.139 --> 00:03:58.759
I'm<00:03:57.280><c> not</c><00:03:57.439><c> sure</c><00:03:57.599><c> whether</c><00:03:57.800><c> that's</c><00:03:57.979><c> what</c><00:03:58.099><c> you're</c><00:03:58.259><c> going</c><00:03:58.419><c> to</c><00:03:58.539><c> say,</c>

Ben,<00:03:59.219><c> but</c><00:03:59.400><c> of</c><00:03:59.520><c> course</c><00:03:59.620><c> the</c><00:03:59.740><c> Amalekites</c><00:04:00.319><c> became</c><00:04:00.699><c> famous,</c>

00:04:01.219 --> 00:04:01.699
didn't<00:04:01.400><c> they?</c>

00:04:01.900 --> 00:04:04.840
As<00:04:02.099><c> Israel</c><00:04:02.479><c> journeyed</c><00:04:03.000><c> towards</c><00:04:03.319><c> the</c><00:04:03.580><c> land,</c><00:04:04.159><c> the</c><00:04:04.300><c> Amalekites</c>

00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:06.900
would<00:04:05.020><c> come</c><00:04:05.219><c> and</c><00:04:05.400><c> pick</c><00:04:05.500><c> off</c><00:04:05.699><c> the</c><00:04:06.000><c> stragglers</c><00:04:06.259><c> at</c><00:04:06.460><c> the</c><00:04:06.599><c> end,</c>

00:04:06.979 --> 00:04:07.319
wouldn't<00:04:07.139><c> they?</c>

00:04:07.340 --> 00:04:09.340
Those<00:04:07.580><c> that</c><00:04:07.699><c> were</c><00:04:07.879><c> not</c><00:04:08.360><c> following</c><00:04:08.620><c> in</c><00:04:08.840><c> the</c><00:04:08.979><c> way.</c>

00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.639
And<00:04:10.060><c> they</c><00:04:10.500><c> exhibited</c><00:04:10.900><c> hostility</c><00:04:11.939><c> towards</c><00:04:12.520><c> the</c><00:04:12.840><c> children</c><00:04:13.099><c> of</c><00:04:13.400><c> Israel.</c>

00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.639
So<00:04:14.039><c> they</c><00:04:14.240><c> become</c><00:04:14.520><c> an</c><00:04:14.759><c> early</c><00:04:15.080><c> prototype</c><00:04:15.639><c> of</c><00:04:15.800><c> those</c><00:04:16.300><c> who</c><00:04:16.519><c> are</c><00:04:16.800><c> hostile</c><00:04:17.399><c> to</c>

00:04:20.500 --> 00:04:23.480
Now,<00:04:21.120><c> concerning</c><00:04:21.160><c> the</c><00:04:21.519><c> king,</c><00:04:21.860><c> both</c><00:04:22.019><c> of</c><00:04:22.220><c> Israel</c><00:04:22.680><c> and</c><00:04:23.120><c> the</c><00:04:23.300><c> king</c>

00:05:05.420 --> 00:05:07.339
Now,<00:05:05.899><c> let</c><00:05:06.040><c> me</c><00:05:06.100><c> tell</c><00:05:06.199><c> you</c><00:05:06.259><c> something</c><00:05:06.439><c> interesting</c><00:05:06.800><c> about</c><00:05:07.040><c> that.</c>

And<00:05:12.620><c> the</c><00:05:12.800><c> answer</c><00:05:13.079><c> is</c><00:05:13.439><c> Saul.</c>

00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.639
Now,<00:05:14.779><c> Saul</c><00:05:14.959><c> was</c><00:05:15.339><c> the</c><00:05:15.800><c> first</c><00:05:16.379><c> king</c><00:05:16.839><c> of</c><00:05:17.100><c> Israel.</c>

00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.139
And<00:05:18.160><c> it's</c><00:05:18.560><c> Saul,</c><00:05:19.259><c> the</c><00:05:19.439><c> first</c><00:05:19.779><c> king</c><00:05:19.959><c> of</c><00:05:20.100><c> Israel,</c><00:05:20.680><c> that</c><00:05:20.759><c> comes</c>

00:08:23.379 --> 00:08:26.899
are<00:08:23.980><c> much</c><00:08:24.300><c> more</c><00:08:24.759><c> accurately</c><00:08:25.279><c> aligned</c><00:08:25.740><c> with</c><00:08:26.040><c> the</c><00:08:26.319><c> Greek</c><00:08:26.579><c> of</c>

00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:36.419

00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:38.460
What's<00:13:37.360><c> that?</c>

00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:47.980
We've<00:13:43.600><c> got</c><00:13:43.720><c> some</c><00:13:44.179><c> wonderful</c><00:13:44.639><c> mathematicians</c><00:13:45.399><c> here.</c><00:13:45.940><c> 40</c><00:13:46.240><c> years</c><00:13:46.559><c> off</c><00:13:46.820><c> 710.</c>

00:14:03.820 --> 00:14:07.840

00:14:17.500 --> 00:14:20.399
So<00:14:17.720><c> I</c><00:14:17.779><c> think</c><00:14:17.960><c> they</c><00:14:18.159><c> would</c><00:14:18.320><c> be</c><00:14:18.779><c> highly</c><00:14:19.059><c> likely</c><00:14:19.419><c> to</c><00:14:19.600><c> be</c><00:14:19.740><c> the</c><00:14:19.919><c> leaders</c><00:14:20.120><c> in</c>

00:14:21.019 --> 00:14:23.840
This<00:14:21.059><c> is</c><00:14:21.159><c> what</c><00:14:21.200><c> the</c><00:14:21.559><c> cylinder</c><00:14:21.879><c> of</c><00:14:22.320><c> Ashurbanipel</c><00:14:22.899><c> says.</c>

00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:02.180
The<00:17:56.579><c> Assyrians</c><00:17:57.359><c> were</c><00:17:58.819><c> absolutely</c><00:17:59.579><c> terrified</c><00:18:00.660><c> of</c><00:18:00.980><c> the</c><00:18:01.140><c> Scythians.</c>

00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:51.539
be,<00:18:48.579><c> well,</c><00:18:49.359><c> there</c><00:18:49.519><c> was</c><00:18:49.700><c> an</c><00:18:49.940><c> invasion</c><00:18:50.420><c> of</c><00:18:50.700><c> the</c><00:18:50.839><c> Middle</c><00:18:51.039><c> East</c><00:18:51.299><c> by</c>

00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:27.259

00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:31.240
I<00:19:29.500><c> don't</c><00:19:29.619><c> know</c><00:19:29.700><c> if</c><00:19:29.700><c> you</c><00:19:29.819><c> know</c><00:19:29.920><c> much</c><00:19:30.099><c> about</c><00:19:30.299><c> the</c><00:19:30.480><c> Caucasus</c><00:19:30.940><c> Mountains.</c>

00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:34.660
I've<00:19:31.420><c> just</c><00:19:31.539><c> got</c><00:19:31.640><c> a</c><00:19:31.880><c> little</c><00:19:31.880><c> sort</c><00:19:31.960><c> of,</c><00:19:32.140><c> you</c><00:19:32.240><c> know,</c><00:19:33.519><c> a</c><00:19:34.660><c> little</c>

And<00:20:01.380><c> everyone</c><00:20:01.519><c> was</c><00:20:01.660><c> very</c><00:20:01.960><c> thankful</c><00:20:02.200><c> that</c><00:20:02.319><c> they</c><00:20:02.500><c> did</c><00:20:02.619><c> because</c>

00:20:02.740 --> 00:20:04.500
they<00:20:02.880><c> didn't</c><00:20:03.000><c> really</c><00:20:03.180><c> want</c><00:20:03.279><c> to</c><00:20:03.400><c> see</c><00:20:03.519><c> them.</c>

00:21:45.980 --> 00:21:49.000
And<00:21:46.380><c> they</c><00:21:46.779><c> came</c><00:21:47.359><c> into</c><00:21:48.359><c> the</c><00:21:48.519><c> Middle</c><00:21:48.759><c> East.</c>

00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:06.059
suggested<00:22:03.160><c> that</c><00:22:03.339><c> it</c><00:22:03.400><c> would</c><00:22:03.640><c> be</c><00:22:04.339><c> a</c><00:22:04.539><c> good</c><00:22:04.660><c> idea</c><00:22:04.960><c> to</c><00:22:05.480><c> turn</c><00:22:05.720><c> around</c>

00:22:07.660 --> 00:22:10.599
But<00:22:07.920><c> he</c><00:22:08.019><c> had</c><00:22:08.200><c> to</c><00:22:08.319><c> give</c><00:22:08.420><c> them</c><00:22:08.619><c> a</c><00:22:08.779><c> fairly</c><00:22:09.019><c> substantial</c><00:22:09.740><c> bribe</c><00:22:10.400><c> to</c>

00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.539
He<00:22:12.380><c> paid</c><00:22:12.500><c> them</c><00:22:12.759><c> a</c><00:22:12.900><c> vast</c><00:22:13.240><c> sum</c><00:22:13.460><c> of</c><00:22:13.700><c> silver</c><00:22:14.000><c> and</c><00:22:14.259><c> gold</c><00:22:14.740><c> in</c><00:22:15.299><c> order</c>

Mountains,<00:22:29.440><c> sweeping</c><00:22:29.619><c> down</c><00:22:30.039><c> through</c><00:22:30.299><c> Palestine,</c><00:22:31.279><c> advancing</c>

00:22:32.220 --> 00:22:32.519
Ben?

00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:36.819
Just<00:22:33.400><c> a</c><00:22:33.680><c> question.</c><00:22:34.720><c> You</c><00:22:34.720><c> know,</c><00:22:34.980><c> like</c><00:22:35.099><c> on</c><00:22:35.980><c> tests</c><00:22:36.400><c> and</c><00:22:36.660><c> stuff,</c>

00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:40.900
you<00:22:36.960><c> have</c><00:22:37.200><c> to</c><00:22:37.380><c> write</c><00:22:37.819><c> your</c><00:22:38.400><c> ethnicity</c><00:22:39.039><c> in</c><00:22:39.880><c> Caucasian?</c>

00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:41.140
Yes.

00:22:41.140 --> 00:22:42.119
Is<00:22:41.140><c> that</c><00:22:41.220><c> where</c><00:22:41.359><c> that</c><00:22:41.579><c> comes</c><00:22:41.839><c> from?</c>

00:22:42.539 --> 00:22:45.960
That's<00:22:42.859><c> where</c><00:22:43.019><c> the</c><00:22:43.119><c> word</c><00:22:43.200><c> comes</c><00:22:43.460><c> from,</c><00:22:43.859><c> I</c><00:22:44.039><c> would</c><00:22:44.220><c> guess.</c><00:22:45.000><c> Yep.</c><00:22:45.960><c> Yep.</c>

00:22:45.980 --> 00:22:47.359

00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:49.900
Nice<00:22:47.839><c> thought,</c><00:22:48.059><c> isn't</c><00:22:48.180><c> it?</c><00:22:48.420><c> Japhethite.</c><00:22:48.799><c> You're</c><00:22:48.980><c> of</c><00:22:49.119><c> Japhethite</c><00:22:49.599><c> origin,</c>

00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:52.400
you<00:22:50.119><c> see.</c><00:22:50.680><c> So</c><00:22:51.000><c> somewhere</c><00:22:51.220><c> in</c><00:22:51.380><c> the</c><00:22:51.500><c> background.</c>

00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:02.420
Well,<00:23:00.220><c> it</c><00:23:00.680><c> was</c><00:23:00.900><c> both,</c><00:23:01.140><c> actually.</c><00:23:01.579><c> What</c><00:23:01.700><c> I'm</c><00:23:01.900><c> suggesting</c><00:23:02.220><c> is</c>

that<00:23:02.700><c> Gogh</c><00:23:02.859><c> was</c><00:23:03.180><c> the</c><00:23:03.380><c> real</c><00:23:03.619><c> person,</c><00:23:04.079><c> the</c><00:23:04.160><c> leader</c><00:23:04.259><c> of</c><00:23:04.480><c> the</c><00:23:04.579><c> Scythians.</c>

00:26:26.700 --> 00:26:30.980
So<00:26:27.140><c> Barbarians</c><00:26:27.579><c> and</c><00:26:27.799><c> Scythians,</c><00:26:28.380><c> Colossians</c><00:26:28.720><c> chapter</c><00:26:29.000><c> 3</c><00:26:29.940><c> is</c>

00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:34.779
Now<00:26:32.119><c> why</c><00:26:32.359><c> that's</c><00:26:32.640><c> all</c><00:26:32.819><c> interesting</c><00:26:33.200><c> is</c><00:26:33.559><c> that</c><00:26:34.019><c> when</c><00:26:34.400><c> you</c><00:26:34.539><c> come</c>

00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:41.059

00:26:43.980 --> 00:26:52.559
So<00:26:45.819><c> Ezekiel</c><00:26:46.619><c> 38</c><00:26:47.359><c> says</c><00:26:49.119><c> verse</c><00:26:51.579><c> 1,</c>

00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:13.000

when<00:29:11.160><c> he</c><00:29:11.460><c> talked</c><00:29:11.680><c> about</c><00:29:12.200><c> Gog</c><00:29:12.640><c> of</c><00:29:13.079><c> the</c><00:29:13.299><c> land</c><00:29:13.759><c> of</c><00:29:14.099><c> the</c><00:29:14.240><c> Magog.</c>

00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:16.980
I'm<00:29:15.339><c> not</c><00:29:15.519><c> talking</c><00:29:15.680><c> about</c><00:29:15.859><c> the</c><00:29:16.019><c> Prince</c><00:29:16.240><c> of</c><00:29:16.400><c> Rosh,</c><00:29:16.680><c> Meshach</c><00:29:16.859><c> and</c>

00:29:16.980 --> 00:29:18.539
Tubal<00:29:17.220><c> but</c><00:29:17.420><c> Gog</c><00:29:17.640><c> of</c><00:29:17.740><c> the</c><00:29:17.839><c> land</c><00:29:17.960><c> of</c><00:29:18.039><c> the</c><00:29:18.140><c> Magog</c>

00:29:18.539 --> 00:29:20.339
they<00:29:18.920><c> would</c><00:29:19.059><c> have</c><00:29:19.160><c> known</c><00:29:19.279><c> exactly</c><00:29:19.660><c> what</c><00:29:19.839><c> Ezekiel</c><00:29:20.180><c> meant.</c>

00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:22.799
As<00:29:20.539><c> far</c><00:29:20.680><c> as</c><00:29:20.759><c> they</c><00:29:20.960><c> were</c><00:29:21.079><c> concerned</c><00:29:21.500><c> that</c><00:29:21.980><c> would</c><00:29:22.119><c> have</c><00:29:22.279><c> meant</c><00:29:22.480><c> a</c>

00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:25.480
promise<00:29:23.039><c> that</c><00:29:23.400><c> the</c><00:29:23.640><c> Scythians</c><00:29:24.079><c> are</c><00:29:24.339><c> coming</c><00:29:24.539><c> again.</c>

00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:28.420
That's<00:29:25.940><c> exactly</c><00:29:26.240><c> what</c><00:29:26.359><c> they</c><00:29:26.500><c> would</c><00:29:26.599><c> have</c><00:29:26.759><c> seen</c><00:29:26.839><c> it</c><00:29:27.000><c> to</c><00:29:27.140><c> be,</c><00:29:27.759><c> considered</c><00:29:28.220><c> it</c>

00:29:28.420 --> 00:29:28.740
to<00:29:28.539><c> mean.</c>

00:29:28.980 --> 00:29:32.059
The<00:29:29.299><c> Scythians</c><00:29:29.900><c> are</c><00:29:30.440><c> coming</c><00:29:30.779><c> again.</c>

00:29:32.819 --> 00:29:35.359
Now<00:29:33.380><c> let</c><00:29:33.880><c> me</c><00:29:34.000><c> just</c><00:29:34.180><c> finish</c><00:29:34.339><c> that</c><00:29:34.640><c> slide</c><00:29:34.940><c> off.</c>

00:29:35.660 --> 00:29:38.480
Rosh<00:29:35.660><c> is</c><00:29:35.819><c> the</c><00:29:35.920><c> most</c><00:29:36.299><c> ancient</c><00:29:36.680><c> form</c><00:29:36.880><c> under</c><00:29:37.059><c> which</c><00:29:37.240><c> history</c><00:29:37.460><c> makes</c><00:29:37.740><c> mention</c><00:29:38.000><c> of</c><00:29:38.160><c> Russia.</c>

00:29:38.819 --> 00:29:43.059
The<00:29:38.960><c> Rosh</c><00:29:39.220><c> Rus</c><00:29:39.440><c> were</c><00:29:39.700><c> a</c><00:29:39.980><c> Scythian</c><00:29:40.480><c> nation</c><00:29:41.180><c> bordering</c><00:29:42.079><c> on</c><00:29:42.359><c> the</c><00:29:42.619><c> Taurus</c>

00:29:43.059 --> 00:29:45.579
answering<00:29:43.619><c> initially</c><00:29:43.940><c> to</c><00:29:44.140><c> the</c><00:29:44.380><c> Ukraine</c><00:29:44.599><c> and</c><00:29:44.819><c> northwards</c><00:29:45.140><c> beyond</c><00:29:45.420><c> to</c>

the<00:29:45.799><c> steppes.</c>

00:29:46.380 --> 00:29:49.599
So<00:29:46.640><c> the</c><00:29:46.920><c> Rosh</c><00:29:47.440><c> which</c><00:29:47.819><c> is</c><00:29:48.000><c> going</c><00:29:48.079><c> to</c><00:29:48.319><c> become</c><00:29:48.660><c> the</c><00:29:49.220><c> burden</c><00:29:49.440><c> of</c>

00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:50.900
our<00:29:49.859><c> study</c><00:29:50.039><c> tomorrow</c><00:29:50.400><c> morning</c>

00:29:50.900 --> 00:29:54.279
was<00:29:51.359><c> in</c><00:29:51.619><c> fact</c><00:29:51.859><c> a</c><00:29:52.220><c> Scythian</c><00:29:52.740><c> nation</c><00:29:53.140><c> themselves,</c><00:29:53.759><c> one</c><00:29:53.880><c> of</c><00:29:54.000><c> the</c>

00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:01.440
So<00:29:57.940><c> actually</c><00:29:59.079><c> although</c><00:29:59.559><c> you</c><00:29:59.680><c> didn't</c><00:29:59.880><c> realize</c><00:30:00.259><c> it</c><00:30:00.559><c> perhaps</c>

00:30:02.059 --> 00:30:06.660
Ezekiel<00:30:02.799><c> 38</c><00:30:03.440><c> had</c><00:30:04.019><c> a</c><00:30:04.259><c> complete</c><00:30:04.859><c> historical</c><00:30:05.640><c> background</c><00:30:06.180><c> just</c>

00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:29.960
Now<00:30:25.839><c> let</c><00:30:26.039><c> me</c><00:30:26.119><c> tell</c><00:30:26.259><c> you</c><00:30:26.359><c> the</c><00:30:26.460><c> really</c><00:30:26.700><c> interesting</c><00:30:27.180><c> thing</c><00:30:27.720><c> about</c><00:30:28.640><c> that</c><00:30:29.000><c> story.</c>

So<00:30:30.339><c> you</c><00:30:30.440><c> see</c><00:30:30.519><c> what</c><00:30:30.660><c> happens</c><00:30:30.940><c> is</c><00:30:31.119><c> the</c><00:30:31.279><c> Scythians</c><00:30:31.640><c> came</c><00:30:31.960><c> down,</c>

00:30:32.859 --> 00:30:36.519
they<00:30:33.059><c> came</c><00:30:33.279><c> into</c><00:30:33.460><c> the</c><00:30:33.660><c> land</c><00:30:34.119><c> of</c><00:30:34.539><c> Israel,</c><00:30:35.279><c> they</c><00:30:35.539><c> invaded</c><00:30:35.960><c> that</c><00:30:36.220><c> area,</c>

00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:39.220
they<00:30:37.099><c> terrorized</c><00:30:37.619><c> the</c><00:30:37.799><c> neighborhood</c><00:30:38.160><c> and</c><00:30:38.539><c> then</c><00:30:38.660><c> all</c><00:30:38.759><c> of</c><00:30:38.880><c> a</c><00:30:38.920><c> sudden</c><00:30:39.039><c> as</c>

00:30:39.220 --> 00:30:39.740

00:30:39.740 --> 00:30:44.099
they<00:30:39.859><c> went</c><00:30:40.119><c> straight</c><00:30:41.160><c> back</c><00:30:41.539><c> up</c><00:30:41.740><c> over</c><00:30:41.900><c> the</c><00:30:41.960><c> top</c><00:30:42.079><c> of</c><00:30:42.220><c> the</c><00:30:42.259><c> Caucasus</c><00:30:42.700><c> and</c><00:30:42.859><c> disappeared.</c>

00:30:51.900 --> 00:30:54.319
So<00:30:52.279><c> when</c><00:30:52.500><c> Ezekiel</c><00:30:52.880><c> said</c><00:30:53.119><c> they're</c><00:30:53.400><c> coming,</c><00:30:53.680><c> they're</c><00:30:53.859><c> coming</c>

00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:59.200
Ezekiel<00:30:55.039><c> chapter</c><00:30:55.220><c> 38,</c><00:30:57.259><c> Gog</c><00:30:57.339><c> is</c><00:30:57.420><c> going</c><00:30:57.579><c> to</c><00:30:57.660><c> come</c><00:30:57.740><c> into</c><00:30:57.880><c> the</c><00:30:58.039><c> land.</c>

00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:02.740
You<00:31:00.079><c> can</c><00:31:00.240><c> imagine</c><00:31:00.519><c> all</c><00:31:00.740><c> of</c><00:31:00.880><c> those</c><00:31:01.299><c> in</c><00:31:01.559><c> Ezekiel's</c><00:31:02.019><c> time</c><00:31:02.200><c> were</c><00:31:02.420><c> waiting,</c>

00:31:03.019 --> 00:31:06.079
waiting<00:31:03.019><c> in</c><00:31:03.359><c> fear</c><00:31:03.660><c> and</c><00:31:03.900><c> trepidation</c><00:31:04.539><c> of</c><00:31:05.019><c> the</c><00:31:05.519><c> re</c><00:31:05.700><c>-emergence</c>

00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:07.480

00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:09.319
but<00:31:07.920><c> they</c><00:31:08.220><c> never</c><00:31:08.420><c> came.</c>

00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:14.259
Never<00:31:10.380><c> ever</c><00:31:10.900><c> again</c><00:31:11.619><c> did</c><00:31:11.960><c> the</c><00:31:12.220><c> Scythians</c><00:31:12.819><c> ever</c><00:31:13.440><c> appear</c><00:31:13.859><c> in</c><00:31:14.140><c> the</c>

Middle<00:31:14.440><c> East.</c>

00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:20.440
So<00:31:17.539><c> the</c><00:31:17.799><c> strange</c><00:31:18.119><c> thing</c><00:31:18.339><c> about</c><00:31:18.559><c> Ezekiel</c><00:31:18.960><c> 38</c><00:31:19.460><c> is</c><00:31:19.799><c> that</c><00:31:19.960><c> although</c><00:31:20.160><c> it</c><00:31:20.359><c> had</c>

00:34:17.460 --> 00:34:19.599
Now,<00:34:17.579><c> I'm</c><00:34:17.659><c> just</c><00:34:17.820><c> going</c><00:34:17.920><c> to</c><00:34:18.019><c> move</c><00:34:18.179><c> on</c><00:34:18.500><c> because</c><00:34:18.780><c> I'm</c><00:34:19.360><c> not</c><00:34:19.500><c> going</c>

00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:20.659
to<00:34:19.659><c> use</c><00:34:19.780><c> that</c><00:34:20.000><c> slide</c><00:34:20.300><c> tonight.</c>

00:34:20.739 --> 00:34:22.320
I<00:34:20.820><c> just</c><00:34:21.000><c> want</c><00:34:21.079><c> to</c><00:34:21.199><c> come</c><00:34:21.340><c> to</c><00:34:21.599><c> this</c><00:34:21.800><c> one</c><00:34:22.000><c> here.</c>

00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:24.300
I<00:34:22.760><c> was</c><00:34:22.940><c> going</c><00:34:23.039><c> to</c><00:34:23.199><c> take</c><00:34:23.340><c> this</c><00:34:23.519><c> out,</c><00:34:23.739><c> actually,</c>

00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:26.440
and<00:34:24.699><c> then</c><00:34:24.840><c> I</c><00:34:24.980><c> thought</c><00:34:25.139><c> I</c><00:34:25.340><c> might</c><00:34:25.480><c> just</c><00:34:25.760><c> leave</c><00:34:25.880><c> it</c><00:34:26.079><c> in.</c>

00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:28.820
It's<00:34:27.019><c> not</c><00:34:27.239><c> actually</c><00:34:27.780><c> related</c><00:34:28.079><c> to</c><00:34:28.280><c> the</c><00:34:28.480><c> Scythians,</c>

00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:30.920

00:34:31.059 --> 00:34:33.760
It's<00:34:31.159><c> just</c><00:34:31.340><c> an</c><00:34:31.460><c> illustration</c><00:34:31.940><c> of</c><00:34:32.059><c> what</c><00:34:32.179><c> we</c><00:34:32.320><c> did</c><00:34:32.440><c> this</c><00:34:32.699><c> afternoon</c><00:34:33.219><c> in</c><00:34:33.659><c> a</c>

00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:41.099
So<00:34:35.760><c> what</c><00:34:35.920><c> this</c><00:34:36.099><c> really</c><00:34:36.300><c> gives</c><00:34:36.519><c> us</c><00:34:37.019><c> is</c><00:34:37.440><c> an</c><00:34:37.860><c> imperative</c><00:34:38.500><c> of</c><00:34:39.579><c> two</c><00:34:40.019><c> things.</c>

00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:43.440

00:34:48.599 --> 00:34:50.519

00:34:50.659 --> 00:34:52.039
not<00:34:50.719><c> only</c><00:34:50.900><c> did</c><00:34:51.039><c> they</c><00:34:51.260><c> invade</c><00:34:51.500><c> Palestine,</c>

00:34:52.099 --> 00:34:54.199

00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:58.079
They<00:34:54.820><c> brought</c><00:34:55.179><c> the</c><00:34:55.500><c> area</c><00:34:55.880><c> of</c><00:34:56.360><c> Iran</c><00:34:56.880><c> under</c><00:34:57.360><c> control.</c>

00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:04.699

00:35:11.860 --> 00:35:17.019

00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:19.219
Here's<00:35:17.760><c> another</c><00:35:17.980><c> completely</c><00:35:18.320><c> different</c><00:35:18.579><c> line</c><00:35:18.800><c> of</c><00:35:19.000><c> evidence.</c>

00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:21.599

00:35:23.059 --> 00:35:25.179
Who<00:35:23.420><c> do</c><00:35:23.780><c> you</c><00:35:23.780><c> think</c><00:35:23.860><c> the</c><00:35:23.980><c> latter</c><00:35:24.139><c>-day</c><00:35:24.300><c> king</c><00:35:24.480><c> of</c><00:35:24.559><c> the</c><00:35:24.679><c> north</c><00:35:24.860><c> is</c>

00:35:42.179 --> 00:35:43.179
probably<00:35:42.539><c> the</c><00:35:42.760><c> king</c>

00:35:53.340 --> 00:35:55.039
You<00:35:53.480><c> want</c><00:35:53.519><c> to</c><00:35:53.599><c> see</c><00:35:53.719><c> what</c><00:35:53.880><c> the</c><00:35:54.059><c> Seleucid</c><00:35:54.400><c> power</c><00:35:54.599><c> looked</c><00:35:54.800><c> like</c>

includes<00:36:08.480><c> part</c><00:36:08.840><c> of</c><00:36:09.059><c> Turkey</c><00:36:09.579><c> and</c><00:36:10.059><c> essentially</c><00:36:10.480><c> all</c><00:36:10.679><c> of</c><00:36:10.860><c> Syria,</c>

00:36:11.719 --> 00:36:16.460
Iraq,<00:36:12.400><c> and,</c><00:36:12.760><c> surprise,</c><00:36:13.639><c> surprise,</c><00:36:15.400><c> Iran.</c>

00:36:17.179 --> 00:36:19.780
The<00:36:17.639><c> power</c><00:36:18.099><c> controlling</c><00:36:18.579><c> this</c><00:36:18.880><c> entire</c><00:36:19.300><c> region</c>

00:36:19.780 --> 00:36:22.719
becomes<00:36:20.360><c> the</c><00:36:20.599><c> king</c><00:36:20.719><c> of</c><00:36:20.880><c> the</c><00:36:20.940><c> north</c><00:36:21.179><c> at</c><00:36:21.559><c> the</c><00:36:21.739><c> time</c><00:36:21.920><c> of</c><00:36:22.119><c> the</c><00:36:22.260><c> end.</c>

00:36:23.159 --> 00:36:25.699
So<00:36:23.219><c> what</c><00:36:23.340><c> we've</c><00:36:23.500><c> now</c><00:36:23.679><c> got</c><00:36:23.780><c> is</c><00:36:23.920><c> two</c><00:36:24.139><c> separate</c><00:36:24.519><c> prophecies</c><00:36:25.099><c> that</c><00:36:25.300><c> indicate</c>

00:36:25.699 --> 00:36:29.619
that<00:36:26.320><c> if</c><00:36:26.519><c> the</c><00:36:26.659><c> king</c><00:36:26.760><c> of</c><00:36:26.900><c> the</c><00:36:26.960><c> north</c><00:36:27.099><c> is</c><00:36:27.280><c> Russia</c><00:36:27.639><c> and</c><00:36:27.900><c> it</c><00:36:28.079><c> controls</c><00:36:28.420><c> Iran,</c>

00:36:30.019 --> 00:36:32.519
and<00:36:30.139><c> Gogh</c><00:36:30.519><c> is</c><00:36:30.900><c> coming</c><00:36:31.119><c> from</c><00:36:31.340><c> the</c><00:36:31.460><c> uppermost</c><00:36:31.760><c> parts</c><00:36:32.000><c> of</c><00:36:32.159><c> the</c><00:36:32.260><c> earth</c>

00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:35.280
and<00:36:32.880><c> has</c><00:36:33.199><c> Persia</c><00:36:33.840><c> in</c><00:36:34.380><c> collaboration</c><00:36:34.860><c> with</c><00:36:35.059><c> it,</c>

00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:37.599
then<00:36:35.519><c> we've</c><00:36:35.679><c> got</c><00:36:35.820><c> two</c><00:36:36.059><c> independent</c><00:36:36.539><c> Bible</c><00:36:36.860><c> prophecies</c><00:36:37.280><c> that</c><00:36:37.500><c> say</c>

00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:41.420
that<00:36:37.780><c> when</c><00:36:37.980><c> Russia</c><00:36:38.260><c> comes</c><00:36:38.599><c> down,</c><00:36:39.380><c> Iran</c><00:36:39.659><c> will</c><00:36:39.840><c> be</c><00:36:39.940><c> one</c><00:36:40.099><c> of</c><00:36:40.199><c> its</c><00:36:40.380><c> associates.</c>

00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:45.719
Daniel<00:36:42.659><c> 11</c><00:36:43.239><c> and</c><00:36:43.940><c> Ezekiel</c><00:36:44.239><c> 38</c><00:36:44.619><c> both</c><00:36:44.880><c> imply</c><00:36:45.159><c> the</c><00:36:45.360><c> same</c><00:36:45.559><c> thing,</c>

00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:45.940
don't<00:36:45.940><c> they?</c>

00:36:45.940 --> 00:36:51.159
A<00:36:46.480><c> Russian</c><00:36:46.980><c> drive,</c><00:36:47.719><c> but</c><00:36:47.900><c> with</c><00:36:48.139><c> Iran</c><00:36:48.639><c> as</c><00:36:48.980><c> one</c><00:36:49.139><c> of</c><00:36:49.280><c> their</c><00:36:49.500><c> main</c><00:36:50.019><c> accomplices.</c>

00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:54.440
Of<00:36:51.500><c> course,</c><00:36:51.699><c> in</c><00:36:51.780><c> order</c><00:36:52.039><c> to</c><00:36:52.880><c> make</c><00:36:53.039><c> any</c><00:36:53.280><c> point</c><00:36:53.539><c> about</c><00:36:53.800><c> that,</c><00:36:54.019><c> what</c><00:36:54.119><c> would</c><00:36:54.280><c> we</c>

00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:55.719
need<00:36:54.599><c> to</c><00:36:54.760><c> do?</c>

00:36:56.820 --> 00:37:02.780
We'd<00:36:57.280><c> need</c><00:36:57.380><c> to</c><00:36:57.599><c> show</c><00:36:57.760><c> that</c><00:36:58.239><c> Daniel</c><00:36:58.599><c> 11</c><00:36:59.079><c> and</c><00:36:59.619><c> Ezekiel</c><00:36:59.900><c> 38</c><00:37:00.699><c> are</c><00:37:01.880><c> connected,</c>

00:37:03.340 --> 00:37:04.659
which<00:37:03.619><c> is</c><00:37:03.699><c> what</c><00:37:03.780><c> we</c><00:37:03.860><c> did</c><00:37:03.940><c> this</c><00:37:04.139><c> afternoon.</c>

00:37:05.019 --> 00:37:08.179
So<00:37:05.139><c> here's</c><00:37:05.280><c> the</c><00:37:05.440><c> same</c><00:37:05.619><c> thing,</c><00:37:06.280><c> but</c><00:37:06.599><c> in</c><00:37:06.920><c> a</c><00:37:06.980><c> little</c><00:37:07.079><c> more</c><00:37:07.280><c> detail.</c>

00:37:08.260 --> 00:37:10.260
Their<00:37:08.480><c> time</c><00:37:08.679><c> for</c><00:37:08.840><c> invasion</c><00:37:09.219><c> and</c><00:37:09.400><c> their</c><00:37:09.559><c> place</c><00:37:09.699><c> of</c><00:37:09.900><c> origin</c><00:37:10.079><c> are</c>

00:37:10.260 --> 00:37:10.920
the<00:37:10.380><c> same</c>

00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:14.559
in<00:37:11.079><c> Ezekiel</c><00:37:11.420><c> 38,</c><00:37:12.320><c> 39,</c><00:37:12.900><c> and</c><00:37:13.019><c> Daniel</c><00:37:13.260><c> 11,</c><00:37:13.500><c> 12.</c>

00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:17.059
Their<00:37:15.119><c> vassal</c><00:37:15.539><c> allies</c><00:37:15.800><c> and</c><00:37:16.000><c> battle</c><00:37:16.239><c> sequence</c><00:37:16.500><c> are</c><00:37:16.639><c> the</c><00:37:16.780><c> same.</c>

00:37:17.380 --> 00:37:19.440
Their<00:37:17.480><c> devastating</c><00:37:17.920><c> speed</c><00:37:18.280><c> and</c><00:37:18.500><c> overwhelming</c><00:37:18.940><c> attack</c><00:37:19.320><c> are</c>

00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:19.719
the<00:37:19.579><c> same.</c>

00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:22.019
Their<00:37:19.880><c> intention</c><00:37:20.239><c> to</c><00:37:20.440><c> plunder</c><00:37:20.639><c> and</c><00:37:20.940><c> spoil</c><00:37:21.099><c> en</c><00:37:21.340><c> route</c><00:37:21.440><c> are</c><00:37:21.579><c> the</c><00:37:21.760><c> same.</c>

00:37:22.380 --> 00:37:25.119
And<00:37:22.480><c> their</c><00:37:22.659><c> exact</c><00:37:22.880><c> position</c><00:37:23.320><c> and</c><00:37:23.679><c> dramatic</c><00:37:24.000><c> end</c><00:37:24.219><c> are</c><00:37:24.400><c> the</c><00:37:24.559><c> same.</c>

00:37:25.539 --> 00:37:28.679
And<00:37:25.780><c> therefore</c><00:37:26.099><c> we</c><00:37:26.380><c> postulate</c><00:37:27.019><c> with</c><00:37:27.300><c> reasonable</c><00:37:27.760><c> biblical</c><00:37:28.199><c> evidence</c>

00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:31.840
this<00:37:29.039><c> time</c><00:37:29.340><c> that</c><00:37:30.239><c> the</c><00:37:30.500><c> Gogh,</c><00:37:30.840><c> who's</c><00:37:31.039><c> the</c><00:37:31.179><c> prince</c><00:37:31.380><c> of</c><00:37:31.539><c> Ross</c><00:37:31.699><c> of</c>

00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:32.559
Ezekiel<00:37:32.059><c> 38,</c>

00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:35.420
has<00:37:32.900><c> got</c><00:37:33.000><c> to</c><00:37:33.079><c> be</c><00:37:33.179><c> the</c><00:37:33.300><c> king</c><00:37:33.400><c> of</c><00:37:33.519><c> the</c><00:37:33.539><c> north</c><00:37:33.659><c> of</c><00:37:33.960><c> Daniel</c><00:37:34.300><c> chapter</c><00:37:34.760><c> 11.</c>

00:37:35.860 --> 00:37:37.760
What<00:37:36.000><c> we've</c><00:37:36.199><c> done</c><00:37:36.280><c> is</c><00:37:36.440><c> brought</c><00:37:36.639><c> two</c><00:37:36.920><c> Armageddon</c><00:37:37.320><c> prophecies</c>

00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:38.460
side<00:37:38.039><c> by</c><00:37:38.239><c> side</c>

00:37:38.460 --> 00:37:40.780
and<00:37:38.679><c> matched</c><00:37:38.820><c> them</c><00:37:38.980><c> up</c><00:37:39.139><c> and</c><00:37:39.199><c> said</c><00:37:39.260><c> all</c><00:37:39.420><c> the</c><00:37:39.599><c> details</c><00:37:39.860><c> match.</c>

00:37:41.079 --> 00:37:43.539
So<00:37:41.260><c> we</c><00:37:41.340><c> can</c><00:37:41.559><c> accept</c><00:37:41.880><c> these</c><00:37:42.139><c> as</c><00:37:42.480><c> parallel</c><00:37:42.820><c> prophecies.</c>

00:37:43.539 --> 00:37:47.079
They<00:37:43.880><c> both</c><00:37:44.219><c> prophesy</c><00:37:45.119><c> a</c><00:37:45.500><c> power</c><00:37:45.719><c> out</c><00:37:45.900><c> of</c><00:37:46.000><c> the</c><00:37:46.139><c> north</c><00:37:46.380><c> that</c><00:37:46.619><c> comes</c>

00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:51.099
and<00:37:47.639><c> advances</c><00:37:48.079><c> with</c><00:37:49.039><c> Iran</c><00:37:49.380><c> as</c><00:37:49.559><c> one</c><00:37:49.760><c> of</c><00:37:49.900><c> their</c><00:37:50.320><c> accomplices.</c>

00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:54.380
Interesting,<00:37:53.900><c> isn't</c><00:37:54.019><c> it?</c>

00:37:54.619 --> 00:37:57.659
So<00:37:54.780><c> just</c><00:37:55.179><c> leading</c><00:37:55.340><c> on</c><00:37:55.579><c> from</c><00:37:55.699><c> that,</c><00:37:55.940><c> what's</c><00:37:56.239><c> our</c><00:37:56.500><c> anticipation?</c>

00:37:57.820 --> 00:37:59.820
And<00:37:57.900><c> the</c><00:37:58.019><c> answer</c><00:37:58.300><c> is,</c><00:37:58.639><c> well,</c><00:37:59.539><c> in</c><00:37:59.659><c> fact,</c>

00:37:59.860 --> 00:38:02.800
history<00:38:00.119><c> is</c><00:38:00.320><c> probably</c><00:38:00.460><c> going</c><00:38:00.599><c> to</c><00:38:00.760><c> repeat</c><00:38:00.900><c> itself</c><00:38:01.340><c> in</c><00:38:01.539><c> this</c><00:38:01.760><c> case.</c>

00:38:03.019 --> 00:38:06.760
We<00:38:03.380><c> expect</c><00:38:03.760><c> to</c><00:38:03.940><c> see</c><00:38:04.079><c> a</c><00:38:04.280><c> buildup</c><00:38:04.639><c> of</c><00:38:04.920><c> things</c><00:38:05.440><c> that</c><00:38:06.059><c> will</c><00:38:06.360><c> bring</c>

00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:08.219
Russia<00:38:07.199><c> and</c><00:38:07.440><c> Iran</c><00:38:07.719><c> together,</c>

00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:12.619
if<00:38:08.500><c> Ezekiel</c><00:38:08.840><c> 38</c><00:38:09.219><c> be</c><00:38:09.500><c> true,</c><00:38:09.960><c> as</c><00:38:10.199><c> well</c><00:38:10.460><c> as</c><00:38:11.420><c> Daniel</c><00:38:11.840><c> chapter</c><00:38:12.199><c> 11.</c>

00:38:12.619 --> 00:38:16.340

00:38:16.340 --> 00:38:17.099
biblical<00:38:16.719><c> evidence</c>

00:38:22.380 --> 00:38:25.780
And<00:38:22.639><c> we</c><00:38:23.099><c> wouldn't</c><00:38:23.280><c> be</c><00:38:23.619><c> surprised</c><00:38:23.900><c> as</c><00:38:24.159><c> Christadelphians,</c><00:38:24.840><c> therefore,</c>

00:38:26.099 --> 00:38:30.039
to<00:38:26.219><c> see</c><00:38:26.539><c> that</c><00:38:28.139><c> state</c><00:38:28.420><c> of</c><00:38:28.639><c> affairs</c><00:38:28.920><c> developing.</c>

00:38:31.059 --> 00:38:33.179
And<00:38:31.380><c> in</c><00:38:31.559><c> fact,</c><00:38:31.719><c> I</c><00:38:31.840><c> think</c><00:38:31.920><c> that's</c><00:38:32.320><c> exactly</c><00:38:32.579><c> what</c><00:38:32.739><c> is</c><00:38:32.940><c> happening.</c>

00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:36.000
Here's<00:38:33.460><c> just</c><00:38:33.659><c> a</c><00:38:33.800><c> couple</c><00:38:33.980><c> of</c><00:38:34.719><c> pieces</c><00:38:34.900><c> of</c><00:38:35.159><c> historical</c><00:38:35.480><c> information</c>

00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:38.880
from<00:38:36.480><c> a</c><00:38:36.800><c> signs</c><00:38:36.960><c> of</c><00:38:37.139><c> the</c><00:38:37.280><c> times</c><00:38:37.539><c> point</c><00:38:37.840><c> of</c><00:38:37.980><c> view.</c>

00:38:40.059 --> 00:38:45.500
In<00:38:40.659><c> 2007,</c><00:38:42.599><c> the</c><00:38:42.659><c> nations</c><00:38:43.099><c> that</c><00:38:43.539><c> surround</c><00:38:43.860><c> the</c><00:38:44.099><c> Caspian</c><00:38:44.619><c> Sea</c><00:38:44.920><c> decided</c><00:38:45.340><c> to</c>

00:38:48.900 --> 00:38:51.300
Guess<00:38:49.500><c> who</c><00:38:50.099><c> called</c><00:38:50.340><c> the</c><00:38:50.539><c> meeting?</c>

00:38:51.619 --> 00:38:55.480
The<00:38:51.639><c> answer</c><00:38:51.940><c> is</c><00:38:53.039><c> actually</c><00:38:53.739><c> the</c><00:38:54.239><c> Iranians</c><00:38:54.880><c> down</c><00:38:55.179><c> here.</c>

00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:56.940
So<00:38:55.619><c> here's</c><00:38:55.739><c> the</c><00:38:55.960><c> nations.</c>

00:38:57.159 --> 00:38:58.980
These<00:38:57.320><c> are</c><00:38:57.440><c> the</c><00:38:57.619><c> nations</c><00:38:57.800><c> that</c><00:38:58.079><c> surround</c><00:38:58.280><c> the</c><00:38:58.519><c> Caspian.</c>

Russia,<00:39:00.800><c> Kazakhstan,</c><00:39:02.000><c> Turkmenistan,</c><00:39:03.440><c> Azerbaijan</c><00:39:04.039><c> and</c><00:39:04.639><c> Iran.</c>

00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:07.699
Now,<00:39:05.679><c> you</c><00:39:05.800><c> probably</c><00:39:06.039><c> can't</c><00:39:06.239><c> think</c><00:39:06.440><c> back</c><00:39:06.599><c> as</c><00:39:06.760><c> far</c><00:39:06.900><c> as</c><00:39:07.059><c> 2007,</c>

00:39:07.699 --> 00:39:09.840
but<00:39:07.820><c> what</c><00:39:07.980><c> was</c><00:39:08.159><c> going</c><00:39:08.360><c> on</c><00:39:08.460><c> at</c><00:39:08.599><c> that</c><00:39:08.780><c> stage</c><00:39:09.079><c> is</c><00:39:09.340><c> that</c><00:39:09.579><c> America</c>

00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:11.960
was<00:39:10.099><c> rattling</c><00:39:10.380><c> its</c><00:39:10.739><c> sabres</c>

00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:14.619
and<00:39:12.340><c> suggesting</c><00:39:12.739><c> they</c><00:39:13.000><c> wanted</c><00:39:13.219><c> to</c><00:39:13.400><c> put</c><00:39:13.559><c> some</c><00:39:13.800><c> degree</c><00:39:14.099><c> of</c>

00:39:15.619 --> 00:39:17.780
in<00:39:16.099><c> one</c><00:39:16.280><c> of</c><00:39:16.400><c> those</c><00:39:16.679><c> territories.</c>

00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:20.260
I<00:39:18.079><c> can't</c><00:39:18.340><c> remember</c><00:39:18.480><c> whether</c><00:39:18.599><c> it</c><00:39:18.639><c> was</c><00:39:18.860><c> Azerbaijan</c><00:39:19.380><c> or</c><00:39:19.719><c> Kazakhstan,</c>

00:39:20.699 --> 00:39:22.260
but<00:39:20.860><c> the</c><00:39:21.019><c> Americans</c><00:39:21.300><c> wanted</c><00:39:21.519><c> to</c><00:39:21.659><c> put</c><00:39:21.760><c> a</c><00:39:21.900><c> base</c><00:39:22.059><c> there.</c>

00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:24.440
Russia<00:39:22.440><c> said,</c><00:39:22.739><c> I</c><00:39:22.880><c> think</c><00:39:23.099><c> it's</c><00:39:23.260><c> time</c><00:39:23.380><c> we</c><00:39:23.500><c> had</c><00:39:23.639><c> a</c><00:39:24.099><c> summit</c><00:39:24.219><c> with</c>

00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:26.039
the<00:39:24.639><c> Caspian</c><00:39:25.059><c> leaders.</c>

00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:28.719
So<00:39:26.960><c> Iran</c><00:39:27.340><c> said,</c><00:39:27.619><c> actually,</c><00:39:27.820><c> we'd</c><00:39:28.099><c> like</c><00:39:28.179><c> to</c><00:39:28.380><c> host</c><00:39:28.579><c> it.</c>

00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:30.599
Let's<00:39:29.219><c> meet</c><00:39:29.460><c> in</c><00:39:29.639><c> Tehran,</c><00:39:30.179><c> shall</c><00:39:30.320><c> we?</c>

00:39:30.900 --> 00:39:33.860
And<00:39:31.219><c> so</c><00:39:31.420><c> they</c><00:39:31.719><c> set</c><00:39:31.940><c> the</c><00:39:32.239><c> summit</c><00:39:32.420><c> up,</c><00:39:32.940><c> which</c><00:39:33.300><c> brought</c><00:39:33.559><c> together</c>

00:39:33.860 --> 00:39:36.300
these<00:39:34.559><c> two</c><00:39:35.019><c> powers</c><00:39:35.440><c> in</c><00:39:35.860><c> particular.</c>

00:39:36.300 --> 00:39:39.239
And<00:39:36.780><c> as</c><00:39:37.000><c> a</c><00:39:37.119><c> result</c><00:39:37.320><c> of</c><00:39:37.460><c> that,</c><00:39:37.539><c> they</c><00:39:37.760><c> signed</c><00:39:38.039><c> some</c><00:39:38.300><c> agreements.</c>

00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:41.460
There<00:39:39.480><c> was</c><00:39:39.679><c> a</c><00:39:39.800><c> joint</c><00:39:39.920><c> agreement</c><00:39:40.260><c> of</c><00:39:40.440><c> all</c><00:39:40.599><c> the</c><00:39:40.980><c> littoral,</c><00:39:41.280><c> that</c>

00:39:41.460 --> 00:39:42.860
means<00:39:41.699><c> the</c><00:39:41.980><c> coastal</c><00:39:42.400><c> states,</c>

00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:46.619
that<00:39:43.559><c> said</c><00:39:43.739><c> that</c><00:39:44.079><c> no</c><00:39:44.280><c> one</c><00:39:44.559><c> of</c><00:39:44.800><c> these</c><00:39:45.219><c> four</c><00:39:45.659><c> or</c><00:39:45.659><c> five</c><00:39:46.059><c> places</c>

00:39:46.619 --> 00:39:49.320
will<00:39:47.119><c> allow</c><00:39:47.380><c> their</c><00:39:47.739><c> territory</c><00:39:48.179><c> to</c><00:39:48.360><c> be</c><00:39:48.539><c> used</c><00:39:48.780><c> for</c><00:39:49.000><c> aggression</c>

00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:53.820
So<00:39:51.460><c> they</c><00:39:51.639><c> ruled</c><00:39:51.860><c> America</c><00:39:52.320><c> out</c><00:39:52.539><c> of</c><00:39:52.659><c> being</c><00:39:52.820><c> able</c><00:39:52.980><c> to</c><00:39:53.159><c> put</c><00:39:53.280><c> anything</c><00:39:53.579><c> there</c>

against<00:39:54.159><c> Russia.</c>

00:39:55.260 --> 00:39:57.639
So<00:39:55.380><c> that</c><00:39:55.460><c> was</c><00:39:55.619><c> one</c><00:39:55.760><c> of</c><00:39:55.860><c> the</c><00:39:56.019><c> objectives</c><00:39:56.420><c> of</c><00:39:56.760><c> the</c><00:39:56.900><c> meeting.</c>

00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:01.300
They<00:39:58.619><c> had</c><00:39:58.760><c> a</c><00:39:58.920><c> joint</c><00:39:59.119><c> agreement</c><00:39:59.480><c> to</c><00:39:59.739><c> advance</c><00:40:00.099><c> their</c><00:40:00.320><c> regional</c><00:40:00.719><c> cooperation</c>

00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:07.340
And<00:40:04.820><c> so</c><00:40:05.139><c> those</c><00:40:05.900><c> agreements</c><00:40:06.260><c> were</c><00:40:06.579><c> quite</c><00:40:06.840><c> significant,</c>

00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:09.960

And<00:40:39.400><c> we</c><00:40:39.500><c> know</c><00:40:39.679><c> that</c><00:40:39.940><c> because</c><00:40:40.960><c> that's</c><00:40:41.780><c> the</c><00:40:41.960><c> Caspian</c><00:40:42.400><c> summit</c><00:40:42.679><c> in</c>

October<00:40:43.480><c> 2007,</c>

00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:48.920
but<00:40:45.239><c> they</c><00:40:45.820><c> decided</c><00:40:46.059><c> to</c><00:40:46.199><c> have</c><00:40:46.340><c> a</c><00:40:46.500><c> get</c><00:40:46.659><c>-together</c><00:40:46.840><c> in</c><00:40:47.199><c> July</c><00:40:47.500><c> 2009.</c>

00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:56.920
I<00:40:54.280><c> think</c><00:40:54.400><c> we</c><00:40:54.519><c> need</c><00:40:54.679><c> to</c><00:40:54.920><c> have</c><00:40:55.019><c> a</c><00:40:55.079><c> bit</c><00:40:55.199><c> of</c><00:40:55.300><c> work</c><00:40:55.460><c> together</c><00:40:55.800><c> to</c><00:40:56.260><c> make</c><00:40:56.420><c> sure</c><00:40:56.599><c> that</c><00:40:56.719><c> our</c>

00:40:57.519 --> 00:40:59.000
and<00:40:57.619><c> that</c><00:40:57.719><c> they</c><00:40:57.860><c> all</c><00:40:58.039><c> communicate</c><00:40:58.400><c> with</c><00:40:58.599><c> one</c><00:40:58.739><c> another.</c>

00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:02.079
So<00:40:59.400><c> they</c><00:40:59.539><c> did.</c><00:40:59.739><c> They</c><00:40:59.820><c> had</c><00:41:00.099><c> a</c><00:41:00.300><c> joint</c><00:41:00.599><c> military</c><00:41:00.960><c> exercise.</c>

00:41:02.460 --> 00:41:04.079
So<00:41:02.559><c> how</c><00:41:02.699><c> many</c><00:41:02.920><c> states</c><00:41:03.199><c> were</c><00:41:03.380><c> there</c><00:41:03.480><c> around</c><00:41:03.639><c> the</c><00:41:03.900><c> Caspian?</c>

00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:04.760
Can<00:41:04.219><c> you</c><00:41:04.219><c> remember</c><00:41:04.320><c> them</c><00:41:04.480><c> again?</c>

00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:12.659

00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:20.079

00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:27.559
In<00:41:23.900><c> fact,</c><00:41:24.619><c> strangely,</c><00:41:24.860><c> it</c><00:41:25.039><c> turned</c><00:41:25.179><c> out</c><00:41:25.440><c> that</c><00:41:25.679><c> the</c><00:41:25.860><c> joint</c><00:41:26.139><c> military</c><00:41:26.699><c> exercises</c><00:41:27.340><c> of</c>

the<00:41:27.760><c> Caspian,</c>

00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:31.099

00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:35.719
You'd<00:41:31.699><c> never</c><00:41:31.840><c> guess</c><00:41:32.059><c> which</c><00:41:32.420><c> two</c><00:41:32.699><c> nations</c><00:41:33.079><c> decided</c><00:41:33.539><c> to</c><00:41:34.039><c> collaborate</c><00:41:34.300><c> together,</c><00:41:34.639><c> would</c><00:41:34.800><c> you?</c>

00:41:36.219 --> 00:41:41.099

00:41:41.400 --> 00:41:45.539
So<00:41:41.539><c> they</c><00:41:41.579><c> had</c><00:41:41.719><c> a</c><00:41:41.880><c> joint</c><00:41:42.239><c> military</c><00:41:42.679><c> exercise</c><00:41:43.159><c> called</c><00:41:43.719><c> the</c><00:41:44.219><c> Regional</c><00:41:44.659><c> Collaboration</c><00:41:45.340><c> for</c>

00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:53.559
Why<00:41:51.179><c> running</c><00:41:51.420><c> around</c><00:41:51.639><c> in</c><00:41:51.800><c> your</c><00:41:52.119><c> military</c><00:41:52.460><c> vessels</c><00:41:52.800><c> is</c><00:41:53.079><c> something</c><00:41:53.300><c> to</c><00:41:53.440><c> do</c>

00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:54.480

00:41:54.519 --> 00:41:56.380
I'm<00:41:54.599><c> not</c><00:41:54.800><c> sure,</c><00:41:55.019><c> but</c><00:41:55.199><c> it</c><00:41:55.340><c> sounded</c><00:41:55.380><c> like</c><00:41:55.679><c> a</c><00:41:55.780><c> jolly</c><00:41:55.960><c> good</c><00:41:56.099><c> title</c>

00:41:57.400 --> 00:42:00.599
And<00:41:58.380><c> so</c><00:41:58.619><c> they</c><00:41:58.760><c> did.</c><00:41:59.360><c> But</c><00:41:59.519><c> they</c><00:41:59.619><c> were</c><00:41:59.820><c> all</c><00:42:00.019><c> Iranian</c><00:42:00.400><c> and</c>

00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:04.179

00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:41.059

What<00:42:56.460><c> we</c><00:42:56.659><c> expect</c><00:42:57.099><c> is</c><00:42:57.920><c> that</c><00:42:58.179><c> Ezekiel</c><00:42:58.559><c> 38</c><00:42:58.980><c> is</c><00:42:59.159><c> really</c><00:42:59.820><c> a</c><00:43:00.199><c> prophecy</c><00:43:00.519><c> of</c><00:43:01.519><c> the</c>

00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:05.699
Scythian<00:43:02.519><c> invasion</c><00:43:03.300><c> of</c><00:43:04.400><c> the</c><00:43:04.559><c> latter</c><00:43:04.780><c> days.</c>

00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:09.579
So<00:43:06.340><c> that's</c><00:43:06.639><c> another</c><00:43:06.920><c> title</c><00:43:07.380><c> for</c><00:43:07.699><c> you</c><00:43:07.820><c> for</c><00:43:07.980><c> Ezekiel</c><00:43:08.380><c> 38.</c>

00:43:10.139 --> 00:43:12.099
The<00:43:10.360><c> Scythian</c><00:43:10.739><c> invasion</c><00:43:11.199><c> of</c><00:43:11.400><c> the</c><00:43:11.500><c> latter</c><00:43:11.659><c> days.</c>

00:43:12.300 --> 00:43:16.380
Because<00:43:12.340><c> that</c><00:43:12.500><c> was</c><00:43:14.139><c> its</c><00:43:14.480><c> historical</c><00:43:15.079><c> background.</c>

00:43:16.619 --> 00:43:20.320
And<00:43:16.820><c> the</c><00:43:17.039><c> mysterious</c><00:43:17.639><c> Gog</c><00:43:18.079><c> of</c><00:43:18.440><c> the</c><00:43:18.559><c> land</c><00:43:18.880><c> of</c><00:43:19.179><c> Magog</c><00:43:19.739><c> has</c><00:43:20.019><c> got</c>

00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:22.260
Scythian<00:43:20.880><c> origins.</c>

00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:27.300
And<00:43:23.760><c> it</c><00:43:23.840><c> was</c><00:43:23.940><c> his</c><00:43:24.139><c> grandson</c><00:43:24.559><c> that</c><00:43:24.880><c> led</c><00:43:25.099><c> that</c><00:43:25.800><c> previous</c><00:43:26.260><c> campaign.</c>

00:43:27.340 --> 00:43:29.500
And<00:43:27.400><c> the</c><00:43:27.559><c> interesting</c><00:43:27.739><c> thing</c><00:43:27.940><c> is</c><00:43:28.179><c> that</c><00:43:28.320><c> when</c><00:43:28.440><c> you</c><00:43:28.579><c> actually</c><00:43:29.079><c> have</c><00:43:29.400><c> a</c>

00:43:29.500 --> 00:43:30.380
look<00:43:29.599><c> at</c><00:43:29.739><c> Ezekiel</c><00:43:30.039><c> 38,</c>

00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:32.860
do<00:43:30.559><c> you</c><00:43:30.559><c> know</c><00:43:30.659><c> what</c><00:43:30.760><c> Ezekiel</c><00:43:31.079><c> 38</c><00:43:31.440><c> says</c><00:43:31.599><c> is</c><00:43:31.780><c> going</c><00:43:31.900><c> to</c><00:43:32.059><c> happen?</c>

00:43:32.940 --> 00:43:37.340
Well,<00:43:33.860><c> not</c><00:43:34.039><c> just</c><00:43:34.199><c> Ezekiel</c><00:43:34.519><c> 38,</c><00:43:35.860><c> but</c><00:43:36.039><c> Daniel</c><00:43:36.360><c> chapter</c><00:43:36.599><c> 11,</c>

00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:41.219
says<00:43:37.780><c> there's</c><00:43:37.880><c> going</c><00:43:38.039><c> to</c><00:43:38.139><c> be</c><00:43:39.119><c> a</c><00:43:39.400><c> sudden</c><00:43:39.880><c> dramatic</c><00:43:40.840><c> appearance</c>

00:43:41.219 --> 00:43:41.940
out<00:43:41.400><c> of</c><00:43:41.519><c> the</c><00:43:41.639><c> north</c>

00:43:41.940 --> 00:43:44.219
and<00:43:42.280><c> a</c><00:43:42.539><c> lightning</c><00:43:42.880><c> thrust</c><00:43:43.159><c> down</c><00:43:43.400><c> through</c><00:43:43.559><c> the</c><00:43:43.699><c> coastal</c><00:43:43.940><c> plain.</c>

00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:46.599
Where<00:43:44.980><c> have</c><00:43:45.059><c> you</c><00:43:45.139><c> seen</c><00:43:45.260><c> that</c><00:43:45.480><c> before?</c>

00:43:47.500 --> 00:43:50.699
Straight<00:43:47.900><c> down</c><00:43:48.159><c> through</c><00:43:48.360><c> the</c><00:43:48.440><c> middle</c><00:43:48.579><c> of</c><00:43:48.780><c> Palestine</c><00:43:49.260><c> from</c><00:43:50.179><c> over</c><00:43:50.360><c> the</c><00:43:50.460><c> top</c><00:43:50.559><c> of</c>

00:43:50.699 --> 00:43:52.500
the<00:43:50.780><c> Caucasian</c><00:43:51.219><c> mountains.</c>

00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:56.480
Ezekiel<00:43:55.159><c> 38</c><00:43:55.500><c> says</c><00:43:55.719><c> that.</c>

00:43:56.840 --> 00:43:58.500
So<00:43:57.059><c> does</c><00:43:57.179><c> Daniel</c><00:43:57.519><c> 11.</c>

00:43:59.019 --> 00:44:01.420
It<00:43:59.300><c> also</c><00:43:59.500><c> says</c><00:43:59.780><c> that</c><00:44:00.000><c> there</c><00:44:00.119><c> will</c><00:44:00.280><c> be</c><00:44:00.539><c> a</c><00:44:00.659><c> swift</c><00:44:00.840><c> advance</c><00:44:01.219><c> into</c>

00:44:01.420 --> 00:44:03.280
the<00:44:01.500><c> land</c><00:44:01.599><c> of</c><00:44:01.780><c> Egypt</c><00:44:02.019><c> for</c><00:44:02.199><c> plunder.</c>

00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:06.500
Then<00:44:04.380><c> if</c><00:44:04.519><c> they're</c><00:44:04.519><c> not</c><00:44:04.639><c> in</c><00:44:04.719><c> the</c><00:44:04.719><c> land</c><00:44:04.840><c> of</c><00:44:05.039><c> Egypt,</c><00:44:05.219><c> what</c><00:44:05.340><c> are</c><00:44:05.360><c> they</c><00:44:05.460><c> going</c><00:44:05.579><c> to</c><00:44:05.699><c> do?</c>

00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:08.619
They're<00:44:07.059><c> going</c><00:44:07.159><c> to</c><00:44:07.280><c> turn</c><00:44:07.440><c> around</c><00:44:07.619><c> again</c><00:44:08.059><c> and</c><00:44:08.420><c> they're</c><00:44:08.559><c> going</c>

00:44:08.619 --> 00:44:09.900
to<00:44:08.679><c> come</c><00:44:08.880><c> back.</c>

00:44:10.179 --> 00:44:13.320
And<00:44:10.420><c> there'll</c><00:44:10.579><c> be</c><00:44:10.699><c> a</c><00:44:10.800><c> return</c><00:44:11.019><c> through</c><00:44:11.199><c> Palestine</c><00:44:11.940><c> for</c><00:44:12.940><c> spoil</c>

00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:14.099
and<00:44:13.699><c> conquest,</c>

00:44:14.099 --> 00:44:18.380
just<00:44:14.320><c> like</c><00:44:15.500><c> it</c><00:44:15.719><c> was</c><00:44:16.079><c> in</c><00:44:16.420><c> the</c><00:44:16.579><c> days</c><00:44:16.760><c> of</c><00:44:16.980><c> the</c><00:44:17.099><c> Scythian</c><00:44:17.760><c> invasion</c>

00:44:18.380 --> 00:44:19.820
of<00:44:18.739><c> old.</c>

00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:22.300
And<00:44:20.460><c> who's</c><00:44:20.860><c> going</c><00:44:20.960><c> to</c><00:44:21.039><c> lead</c><00:44:21.139><c> it?</c>

00:44:23.139 --> 00:44:24.739
Russia<00:44:23.440><c> and</c><00:44:23.739><c> Iran.</c>

00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:29.239
It's<00:44:25.280><c> the</c><00:44:25.480><c> Scythian</c><00:44:26.260><c> invasion</c><00:44:27.000><c> of</c><00:44:27.820><c> the</c><00:44:27.960><c> latter</c><00:44:28.179><c> days.</c>

00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:33.619
So<00:44:30.099><c> the</c><00:44:30.519><c> suggestion</c><00:44:31.139><c> behind</c><00:44:31.739><c> this</c><00:44:32.099><c> study,</c><00:44:32.539><c> therefore,</c>

00:44:33.639 --> 00:44:42.360
is<00:44:33.820><c> that</c><00:44:34.000><c> there</c><00:44:34.340><c> was</c><00:44:35.199><c> a</c><00:44:36.239><c> specific</c><00:44:37.320><c> historical</c><00:44:38.760><c> context</c><00:44:40.300><c> to</c><00:44:41.059><c> the</c><00:44:41.280><c> prophecy</c><00:44:41.940><c> of</c>

00:44:42.360 --> 00:44:43.639
Ezekiel<00:44:42.659><c> 38.</c>

00:44:43.780 --> 00:44:47.199
It's<00:44:44.360><c> so</c><00:44:44.539><c> turned</c><00:44:44.760><c> out</c><00:44:45.360><c> that</c><00:44:45.739><c> Ezekiel's</c><00:44:46.300><c> prophecy</c><00:44:46.539><c> was</c><00:44:46.920><c> never</c>

00:44:47.199 --> 00:44:49.679
fulfilled<00:44:47.880><c> and</c><00:44:48.440><c> yet</c><00:44:48.639><c> awaits</c><00:44:49.039><c> fulfillment.</c>

00:44:50.139 --> 00:44:53.820
But<00:44:50.360><c> when</c><00:44:50.619><c> it</c><00:44:50.880><c> does,</c><00:44:51.820><c> there</c><00:44:51.940><c> are</c><00:44:52.300><c> clear</c><00:44:52.679><c> Scythian</c><00:44:53.260><c> overtones</c>

00:44:53.820 --> 00:44:55.659
to<00:44:54.059><c> the</c><00:44:54.340><c> story</c><00:44:54.659><c> aren't</c><00:44:55.059><c> there</c>

00:44:55.659 --> 00:45:00.019
because<00:44:56.300><c> it's</c><00:44:56.739><c> already</c><00:44:57.679><c> happened</c><00:44:58.440><c> in</c><00:44:58.739><c> the</c><00:44:58.960><c> past.</c>

00:45:00.380 --> 00:45:03.179

00:45:03.559 --> 00:45:06.519
he<00:45:03.900><c> already</c><00:45:04.159><c> knows</c><00:45:04.400><c> what's</c><00:45:04.739><c> going</c><00:45:04.840><c> to</c><00:45:04.960><c> happen</c><00:45:05.099><c> in</c><00:45:05.260><c> the</c><00:45:05.400><c> future.</c>

00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:10.599

00:45:11.239 --> 00:45:13.280
because<00:45:11.679><c> that</c><00:45:12.079><c> power</c><00:45:12.360><c> is</c><00:45:12.579><c> going</c><00:45:12.679><c> to</c><00:45:12.840><c> be...</c>

00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:15.039
They'll<00:45:13.460><c> never</c><00:45:13.599><c> get</c><00:45:13.780><c> back</c><00:45:13.960><c> over</c><00:45:14.159><c> the</c><00:45:14.300><c> Caucasian</c><00:45:14.719><c> mountains</c>

00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:16.179
this<00:45:15.340><c> time.</c>

00:45:16.579 --> 00:45:19.260
They're<00:45:16.900><c> going</c><00:45:16.980><c> to</c><00:45:17.139><c> fall</c><00:45:17.260><c> on</c><00:45:17.440><c> another</c><00:45:17.639><c> set</c><00:45:17.800><c> of</c><00:45:18.000><c> mountains</c><00:45:18.199><c> altogether</c>

00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:22.500

Your<00:45:23.760><c> hand,</c><00:45:24.079><c> sir.</c>

00:45:26.460 --> 00:45:34.940
It<00:45:26.619><c> seems</c><00:45:27.000><c> like</c><00:45:28.400><c> this</c><00:45:29.539><c> invasion</c><00:45:29.940><c> happened</c><00:45:30.260><c> before</c><00:45:30.719><c> is</c><00:45:31.099><c> critical</c><00:45:32.219><c> in</c><00:45:32.699><c> understanding</c><00:45:33.219><c> what's</c><00:45:33.820><c> going</c><00:45:33.960><c> to</c><00:45:34.239><c> happen.</c>

00:45:35.059 --> 00:45:37.840
Why<00:45:35.480><c> do</c><00:45:35.679><c> you</c><00:45:35.820><c> think</c><00:45:35.920><c> it's</c><00:45:36.280><c> absent</c><00:45:36.460><c> in</c><00:45:36.780><c> my</c><00:45:36.980><c> work?</c>

00:45:41.340 --> 00:45:43.199
I've<00:45:41.760><c> got</c><00:45:41.920><c> no</c><00:45:42.079><c> idea.</c>

00:45:44.820 --> 00:45:47.400
The<00:45:44.940><c> trouble</c><00:45:45.139><c> is</c><00:45:45.340><c> that</c><00:45:45.440><c> because</c><00:45:45.659><c> it's</c><00:45:45.920><c> absent,</c><00:45:46.280><c> I</c><00:45:46.400><c> can</c><00:45:46.599><c> only</c><00:45:46.860><c> postulate</c>

00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:49.820
and<00:45:47.599><c> because</c><00:45:47.920><c> postulation</c><00:45:48.480><c> is</c><00:45:48.679><c> just</c><00:45:48.900><c> that,</c><00:45:49.139><c> it's</c><00:45:49.340><c> probably</c><00:45:49.519><c> worthless.</c>

00:45:49.980 --> 00:45:51.460
Really,<00:45:50.079><c> it's</c><00:45:50.280><c> my</c><00:45:50.400><c> opinion.</c>

00:45:51.940 --> 00:45:53.940
It<00:45:52.159><c> might</c><00:45:52.300><c> be</c><00:45:52.539><c> intriguing.</c><00:45:52.980><c> It</c><00:45:53.019><c> might</c><00:45:53.179><c> be</c><00:45:53.360><c> even</c><00:45:53.539><c> interesting.</c>

00:45:54.239 --> 00:45:57.300
It<00:45:54.280><c> might</c><00:45:54.440><c> be</c><00:45:54.599><c> even</c><00:45:54.820><c> courageous,</c><00:45:55.320><c> but</c><00:45:55.699><c> it's</c><00:45:56.139><c> probably</c><00:45:56.340><c> useless.</c>

00:45:58.099 --> 00:45:59.619
So<00:45:58.400><c> I</c><00:45:58.780><c> honestly</c><00:45:59.099><c> don't</c><00:45:59.300><c> know.</c>

00:46:00.019 --> 00:46:03.019
It<00:46:00.139><c> is</c><00:46:00.420><c> strange</c><00:46:00.980><c> that</c><00:46:01.639><c> such</c><00:46:01.940><c> a</c><00:46:02.079><c> thing</c><00:46:02.159><c> is</c><00:46:02.360><c> not</c><00:46:02.539><c> reported,</c>

00:46:03.019 --> 00:46:07.420
but<00:46:03.099><c> there's</c><00:46:04.219><c> no</c><00:46:04.440><c> biblical</c><00:46:05.460><c> record</c><00:46:05.920><c> of</c><00:46:06.099><c> it.</c>

00:46:07.860 --> 00:46:12.059
Whereas<00:46:08.219><c> it</c><00:46:08.480><c> is</c><00:46:09.079><c> extremely</c><00:46:09.659><c> exciting</c><00:46:10.440><c> to</c><00:46:11.420><c> see</c><00:46:11.599><c> that,</c>

00:46:12.340 --> 00:46:14.320
it's<00:46:12.440><c> not</c><00:46:12.559><c> as</c><00:46:12.719><c> if</c><00:46:12.800><c> we</c><00:46:12.960><c> are</c><00:46:13.119><c> not</c><00:46:13.300><c> able</c><00:46:13.500><c> to</c><00:46:13.739><c> piece</c><00:46:13.900><c> that</c><00:46:14.119><c> very</c>

00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:15.219
puzzle<00:46:14.659><c> together</c><00:46:15.019><c> though,</c>

00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:19.760
so<00:46:16.079><c> what</c><00:46:16.320><c> it</c><00:46:16.519><c> does</c><00:46:16.880><c> is</c><00:46:17.380><c> to</c><00:46:17.559><c> find</c><00:46:17.760><c> it</c><00:46:18.139><c> in</c><00:46:18.440><c> the</c><00:46:18.940><c> secular</c><00:46:19.239><c> history</c>

00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:22.820
is<00:46:20.320><c> just</c><00:46:20.559><c> to</c><00:46:20.739><c> reinforce</c><00:46:21.460><c> the</c><00:46:22.420><c> scriptures</c>

00:46:22.820 --> 00:46:25.920
and<00:46:23.159><c> put</c><00:46:23.380><c> together</c><00:46:23.739><c> these</c><00:46:23.960><c> prophecies</c><00:46:24.679><c> to</c><00:46:25.159><c> come</c><00:46:25.420><c> to</c><00:46:25.519><c> that</c><00:46:25.699><c> conclusion.</c>

00:46:26.119 --> 00:46:28.519
Because<00:46:26.500><c> even</c><00:46:26.739><c> if</c><00:46:26.880><c> you'd</c><00:46:27.059><c> never</c><00:46:27.260><c> heard</c><00:46:27.480><c> of</c><00:46:27.619><c> that</c><00:46:28.079><c> Scythian</c>

00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:29.599
background<00:46:29.039><c> before,</c>

00:46:29.599 --> 00:46:32.119
we<00:46:29.860><c> all</c><00:46:30.039><c> have</c><00:46:30.219><c> a</c><00:46:30.320><c> fair</c><00:46:30.480><c> view</c><00:46:30.639><c> of</c><00:46:30.820><c> what</c><00:46:31.159><c> Zika</c><00:46:31.340><c> 38</c><00:46:31.679><c> is</c><00:46:31.780><c> all</c><00:46:31.960><c> about</c>

00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:33.099
and<00:46:32.239><c> how</c><00:46:32.320><c> it's</c><00:46:32.460><c> going</c><00:46:32.619><c> to</c><00:46:32.719><c> outwork.</c>

00:46:33.360 --> 00:46:35.800
This<00:46:33.539><c> just</c><00:46:33.800><c> adds</c><00:46:34.019><c> another</c><00:46:34.300><c> layer</c><00:46:34.639><c> of,</c><00:46:34.940><c> as</c><00:46:35.059><c> you</c><00:46:35.199><c> say,</c><00:46:35.539><c> interest</c>

00:46:35.800 --> 00:46:36.400
to<00:46:35.980><c> it,</c><00:46:36.199><c> Tim,</c>

00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:39.500
but<00:46:36.900><c> it's</c><00:46:37.099><c> not</c><00:46:37.320><c> essential</c><00:46:37.679><c> to</c><00:46:37.920><c> our</c><00:46:38.440><c> proper</c><00:46:38.719><c> interpretation</c>

00:46:39.500 --> 00:46:40.139
of<00:46:39.679><c> the</c><00:46:39.860><c> prophecy.</c>

00:46:40.420 --> 00:46:43.079
But<00:46:40.559><c> I</c><00:46:40.699><c> do</c><00:46:40.900><c> think</c><00:46:41.000><c> it's</c><00:46:41.360><c> a</c><00:46:41.420><c> really</c><00:46:42.000><c> valuable</c><00:46:42.519><c> background.</c>

00:46:43.300 --> 00:46:44.880
And<00:46:43.559><c> why</c><00:46:43.800><c> is</c><00:46:43.980><c> it</c><00:46:44.179><c> a</c><00:46:44.280><c> valuable</c><00:46:44.460><c> background?</c>

00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:48.980
Because<00:46:45.599><c> when</c><00:46:45.960><c> you</c><00:46:46.059><c> have</c><00:46:46.239><c> all</c><00:46:46.380><c> this</c><00:46:46.579><c> debate</c><00:46:46.880><c> about</c><00:46:47.260><c> where</c><00:46:48.000><c> the</c>

00:46:48.980 --> 00:46:50.619
invading<00:46:49.480><c> power</c><00:46:49.820><c> comes</c><00:46:50.199><c> from,</c>

00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:53.780
I<00:46:50.940><c> think</c><00:46:51.079><c> the</c><00:46:51.480><c> proof</c><00:46:51.639><c> of</c><00:46:51.840><c> the</c><00:46:52.039><c> context</c><00:46:52.480><c> is</c><00:46:52.739><c> it's</c><00:46:53.340><c> got</c><00:46:53.460><c> to</c><00:46:53.619><c> come</c>

00:46:53.780 --> 00:46:55.579
from<00:46:53.940><c> over</c><00:46:54.179><c> the</c><00:46:54.320><c> top</c><00:46:54.400><c> of</c><00:46:54.559><c> the</c><00:46:54.659><c> Caucasian</c><00:46:55.099><c> mountains,</c>

00:46:55.699 --> 00:46:57.139
because<00:46:55.880><c> that's</c><00:46:56.059><c> where</c><00:46:56.179><c> it</c><00:46:56.260><c> came</c><00:46:56.420><c> from</c><00:46:56.619><c> last</c><00:46:56.920><c> time.</c>

00:46:57.139 --> 00:47:00.219
That's<00:46:57.659><c> where</c><00:46:57.860><c> Go</c><00:46:58.119><c> came</c><00:46:58.380><c> from</c><00:46:58.860><c> last</c><00:46:59.179><c> time.</c>

00:47:01.019 --> 00:47:02.920
That's<00:47:01.239><c> where</c><00:47:01.360><c> he</c><00:47:01.539><c> was.</c>

00:47:03.960 --> 00:47:07.059
Whatever<00:47:04.320><c> those</c><00:47:04.739><c> powers</c><00:47:05.099><c> were</c><00:47:05.719><c> in</c><00:47:06.280><c> Ezekiel's</c><00:47:06.920><c> time,</c>

00:47:07.099 --> 00:47:10.699
they'd<00:47:07.440><c> already</c><00:47:07.820><c> moved</c><00:47:08.260><c> up</c><00:47:08.599><c> and</c><00:47:08.860><c> over</c><00:47:09.619><c> northwards</c><00:47:10.320><c> of</c><00:47:10.539><c> that</c>

00:47:10.699 --> 00:47:13.139
area<00:47:11.119><c> by</c><00:47:11.780><c> the</c><00:47:11.980><c> time</c><00:47:12.139><c> of</c><00:47:12.340><c> Ezekiel's</c><00:47:12.900><c> prophecy.</c>

00:47:13.360 --> 00:47:15.920
I<00:47:13.460><c> think</c><00:47:13.599><c> that</c><00:47:13.940><c> forms</c><00:47:14.280><c> the</c><00:47:14.539><c> backdrop</c><00:47:14.840><c> for</c><00:47:15.159><c> our</c><00:47:15.480><c> expectations</c>

00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:16.960
for<00:47:16.119><c> the</c><00:47:16.219><c> future.</c>

00:47:17.880 --> 00:47:21.599
Where<00:47:18.079><c> does</c><00:47:18.500><c> Ethiopia,</c><00:47:18.980><c> Libya,</c><00:47:19.940><c> Goa,</c><00:47:20.239><c> and</c><00:47:20.340><c> New</c><00:47:20.539><c> York</c><00:47:20.719><c> come</c><00:47:20.800><c> from?</c>

00:47:21.639 --> 00:47:24.099
That<00:47:22.260><c> is</c><00:47:22.719><c> tomorrow's</c><00:47:23.380><c> study.</c>

00:47:27.139 --> 00:47:29.619
So<00:47:27.539><c> we</c><00:47:27.800><c> finished</c><00:47:28.039><c> a</c><00:47:28.199><c> little</c><00:47:28.320><c> bit</c><00:47:28.460><c> early,</c><00:47:28.699><c> but</c><00:47:28.780><c> I</c><00:47:28.840><c> think</c><00:47:28.960><c> that's</c><00:47:29.400><c> great.</c>

00:47:29.699 --> 00:47:32.179
So<00:47:29.800><c> we'll</c><00:47:29.920><c> have</c><00:47:30.019><c> a</c><00:47:30.159><c> break</c><00:47:30.280><c> now</c><00:47:30.559><c> for</c><00:47:31.059><c> 10</c><00:47:31.239><c> minutes,</c>

00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:36.059
and<00:47:32.739><c> then</c><00:47:32.920><c> we'll</c><00:47:33.179><c> reconvene</c><00:47:33.659><c> for</c><00:47:34.500><c> another</c><00:47:35.400><c> session</c><00:47:35.679><c> on</c><00:47:35.880><c> the</c>
