00:22:19.740 --> 00:22:22.680
We<00:22:20.519><c> can</c><00:22:20.759><c> look</c><00:22:21.000><c> then</c><00:22:21.299><c> for</c><00:22:21.900><c> developments</c>

00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:25.619
which<00:22:23.259><c> will</c><00:22:23.500><c> result</c><00:22:23.940><c> in</c><00:22:24.319><c> Israel's</c><00:22:24.960><c> getting</c><00:22:25.140><c> possession</c>

00:22:29.980 --> 00:22:33.019

00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:37.279
So<00:22:33.279><c> he</c><00:22:33.539><c> said</c><00:22:33.740><c> in</c><00:22:34.000><c> 1955</c><00:22:34.960><c> that</c><00:22:35.740><c> we</c><00:22:35.880><c> could</c><00:22:36.119><c> look</c><00:22:36.440><c> for</c><00:22:36.740><c> events</c>

00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:41.200
based<00:22:38.059><c> on</c><00:22:38.319><c> the</c><00:22:38.539><c> prophecies</c><00:22:39.039><c> of</c><00:22:39.539><c> Daniel</c><00:22:40.099><c> and</c><00:22:40.299><c> of</c><00:22:40.559><c> Zechariah</c>

00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:43.579
that<00:22:41.660><c> would</c><00:22:41.880><c> see</c><00:22:42.039><c> a</c><00:22:42.339><c> change</c><00:22:42.599><c> in</c><00:22:42.740><c> what</c><00:22:42.900><c> took</c><00:22:43.119><c> place.</c>

00:22:43.859 --> 00:22:46.819
Not<00:22:44.140><c> just</c><00:22:44.420><c> would</c><00:22:44.640><c> Israel</c><00:22:45.119><c> be</c><00:22:45.740><c> sort</c><00:22:45.960><c> of</c><00:22:46.079><c> down</c><00:22:46.220><c> the</c><00:22:46.500><c> coast,</c>

00:22:46.819 --> 00:22:49.880
but<00:22:46.940><c> they</c><00:22:47.099><c> would</c><00:22:47.400><c> have</c><00:22:47.619><c> the</c><00:22:47.819><c> area</c><00:22:48.339><c> of</c><00:22:48.779><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:22:49.980 --> 00:22:54.339
And<00:22:50.059><c> of</c><00:22:50.259><c> course</c><00:22:50.460><c> in</c><00:22:50.599><c> 1967,</c><00:22:52.720><c> in</c><00:22:52.839><c> fulfillment</c><00:22:53.380><c> of</c><00:22:53.660><c> those</c><00:22:53.900><c> words,</c>

00:22:54.700 --> 00:22:57.940
the<00:22:54.859><c> times</c><00:22:55.099><c> of</c><00:22:55.299><c> the</c><00:22:55.440><c> Gentiles</c><00:22:55.900><c> basically</c><00:22:56.299><c> came</c><00:22:56.680><c> to</c><00:22:56.940><c> a</c><00:22:57.099><c> close.</c>

00:22:57.980 --> 00:22:59.980
Certainly<00:22:58.299><c> it's</c><00:22:58.480><c> when</c><00:22:58.640><c> the</c><00:22:58.759><c> Lord</c><00:22:58.940><c> Jesus</c><00:22:59.299><c> Christ</c><00:22:59.640><c> comes</c>

00:22:59.980 --> 00:23:03.240

00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:05.279
in<00:23:03.559><c> the</c><00:23:03.740><c> hands</c><00:23:04.019><c> of</c><00:23:04.220><c> the</c><00:23:04.400><c> Jews</c><00:23:04.579><c> once</c><00:23:04.920><c> again.</c>

00:23:05.700 --> 00:23:08.940
One<00:23:06.059><c> step</c><00:23:06.339><c> closer</c><00:23:06.940><c> to</c><00:23:07.420><c> the</c><00:23:07.720><c> fulfillment</c><00:23:08.079><c> of</c><00:23:08.380><c> the</c><00:23:08.680><c> stage</c>

00:23:08.940 --> 00:23:11.859
that's<00:23:09.119><c> been</c><00:23:09.420><c> set,</c><00:23:10.000><c> Ezekiel</c><00:23:10.339><c> chapter</c><00:23:10.720><c> 38.</c>

00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.359
So<00:23:12.279><c> we</c><00:23:12.480><c> have</c><00:23:12.599><c> the</c><00:23:12.799><c> Jews</c><00:23:13.000><c> returned,</c><00:23:14.220><c> 1908</c><00:23:14.740><c> and</c><00:23:15.000><c> onwards.</c>

00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:19.160
The<00:23:16.039><c> state</c><00:23:16.339><c> of</c><00:23:16.480><c> Israel</c><00:23:16.920><c> proclaimed,</c><00:23:17.720><c> 1948.</c>

00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:26.079
And<00:23:24.339><c> then</c><00:23:24.500><c> we</c><00:23:24.619><c> had</c><00:23:24.859><c> the</c><00:23:25.119><c> next</c><00:23:25.460><c> ingredient</c>

00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:27.740

00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:32.579
followed<00:23:31.119><c> by</c><00:23:31.460><c> prosperity.</c>

00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:35.359
And<00:23:32.920><c> that</c><00:23:33.119><c> has</c><00:23:33.319><c> been</c><00:23:33.619><c> missing</c><00:23:33.940><c> from</c><00:23:34.220><c> the</c><00:23:34.480><c> equation</c><00:23:34.839><c> really</c>

00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:42.420
It's<00:23:38.839><c> been</c><00:23:39.000><c> one</c><00:23:39.220><c> of</c><00:23:39.440><c> war,</c><00:23:40.480><c> war</c><00:23:40.920><c> and</c><00:23:41.539><c> war.</c>

00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:59.319
That<00:23:56.140><c> there</c><00:23:56.380><c> would</c><00:23:56.579><c> be</c><00:23:56.779><c> a</c><00:23:56.960><c> time</c><00:23:57.359><c> when</c><00:23:57.980><c> they</c><00:23:58.200><c> would</c><00:23:58.480><c> dwell</c><00:23:58.680><c> safely</c>

00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.920
It<00:24:02.279><c> would</c><00:24:02.460><c> be</c><00:24:02.640><c> a</c><00:24:02.779><c> land</c><00:24:02.980><c> of</c><00:24:03.339><c> unwalled</c><00:24:03.900><c> villages.</c>

00:24:05.180 --> 00:24:07.960
He<00:24:05.339><c> would</c><00:24:05.480><c> go</c><00:24:05.680><c> up</c><00:24:05.880><c> to</c><00:24:05.960><c> them</c><00:24:06.160><c> that</c><00:24:06.339><c> are</c><00:24:06.559><c> at</c><00:24:06.700><c> rest,</c><00:24:07.099><c> that</c><00:24:07.240><c> dwell</c><00:24:07.420><c> safely.</c>

00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:10.140
All<00:24:08.559><c> of</c><00:24:08.680><c> them</c><00:24:08.880><c> dwelling</c><00:24:09.240><c> without</c><00:24:09.779><c> walls</c>

00:24:11.900 --> 00:24:15.640
That<00:24:12.200><c> is</c><00:24:12.559><c> the</c><00:24:12.819><c> state</c><00:24:13.119><c> of</c><00:24:13.400><c> affairs</c><00:24:13.859><c> that</c><00:24:14.440><c> must</c><00:24:14.859><c> exist.</c>

00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:19.099
And<00:24:15.839><c> although</c><00:24:16.160><c> it</c><00:24:16.460><c> certainly</c><00:24:16.799><c> doesn't</c><00:24:17.180><c> seem</c><00:24:17.539><c> that</c><00:24:17.819><c> way</c><00:24:18.019><c> today,</c>

00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:22.140
just<00:24:20.140><c> as</c><00:24:20.359><c> it</c><00:24:20.480><c> didn't</c><00:24:20.740><c> seem</c><00:24:21.079><c> that</c><00:24:21.259><c> the</c><00:24:21.460><c> Ottoman</c><00:24:21.660><c> Empire</c>

00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:27.079
That's<00:24:25.480><c> what</c><00:24:25.599><c> the</c><00:24:25.819><c> Scripture</c><00:24:26.059><c> says.</c>

That<00:24:27.440><c> is</c><00:24:27.680><c> what</c><00:24:27.839><c> ultimately</c><00:24:28.240><c> has</c><00:24:28.519><c> to</c><00:24:28.720><c> take</c><00:24:28.900><c> place.</c>

00:24:30.859 --> 00:24:32.680

The<00:27:00.460><c> question</c><00:27:00.779><c> is</c><00:27:01.079><c> then,</c><00:27:01.519><c> well,</c><00:27:01.559><c> would</c><00:27:01.900><c> Israel</c><00:27:02.440><c> have</c><00:27:02.759><c> to</c><00:27:02.980><c> withdraw</c>

00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:08.640
Would<00:27:06.680><c> they</c><00:27:06.940><c> have</c><00:27:07.220><c> to</c><00:27:07.380><c> pull</c><00:27:07.619><c> out</c><00:27:07.960><c> of</c><00:27:08.140><c> these</c><00:27:08.359><c> areas?</c>

00:27:08.819 --> 00:27:11.460

00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:13.799
Well,<00:27:11.980><c> the</c><00:27:12.079><c> Bible</c><00:27:12.339><c> would</c><00:27:12.599><c> indicate</c><00:27:12.940><c> that</c><00:27:13.160><c> no,</c><00:27:13.400><c> it's</c><00:27:13.519><c> not,</c>

00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:17.619

00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:27.740

00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.079
See<00:28:15.740><c> if</c><00:28:15.819><c> I</c><00:28:15.859><c> can</c><00:28:15.960><c> get</c><00:28:16.039><c> this</c><00:28:16.240><c> little</c><00:28:16.579><c> thing</c><00:28:16.759><c> to</c><00:28:16.980><c> work</c><00:28:17.119><c> here.</c>

00:28:38.859 --> 00:28:43.240
That's<00:28:39.279><c> the</c><00:28:39.480><c> area</c><00:28:39.880><c> where</c><00:28:40.119><c> the</c><00:28:40.319><c> mountains</c><00:28:40.779><c> of</c><00:28:41.220><c> Israel</c><00:28:42.339><c> are.</c>

00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:51.460
But<00:28:49.640><c> we</c><00:28:49.779><c> have</c><00:28:49.980><c> to</c><00:28:50.039><c> ask</c><00:28:50.299><c> the</c><00:28:50.460><c> question,</c>

00:28:51.980 --> 00:28:54.099

00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:55.940
And<00:28:54.299><c> I</c><00:28:54.480><c> owe</c><00:28:54.619><c> this</c><00:28:54.819><c> to</c><00:28:54.940><c> Brother</c><00:28:55.160><c> Roger</c><00:28:55.500><c> Lewis,</c>

00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:04.220

The<00:41:25.300><c> Jews</c><00:41:25.719><c> and</c><00:41:25.900><c> the</c><00:41:26.159><c> Palestinians</c><00:41:26.659><c> were</c><00:41:27.199><c> backwards</c><00:41:27.619><c> and</c><00:41:27.940><c> forwards,</c>

00:41:28.300 --> 00:41:29.840
one<00:41:28.500><c> after</c><00:41:28.760><c> the</c><00:41:28.960><c> other,</c>

00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:32.719
and<00:41:30.199><c> highly</c><00:41:30.739><c> criticized</c><00:41:31.500><c> by</c><00:41:31.719><c> America</c><00:41:32.139><c> was</c><00:41:32.340><c> Israel</c>

00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:34.739
for<00:41:32.900><c> its</c><00:41:33.139><c> treatment</c><00:41:33.380><c> of</c><00:41:33.719><c> the</c><00:41:33.739><c> Palestinians.</c>

00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:35.840
And<00:41:35.300><c> then</c><00:41:35.400><c> all</c><00:41:35.559><c> of</c><00:41:35.719><c> a</c><00:41:35.719><c> sudden,</c>

00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:38.760
America<00:41:36.199><c> got</c><00:41:36.380><c> its</c><00:41:36.619><c> own</c><00:41:37.000><c> taste</c><00:41:37.519><c> of</c><00:41:38.099><c> the</c><00:41:38.340><c> violence</c>

00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:41.119

00:41:41.420 --> 00:41:43.699
It's<00:41:41.659><c> interesting</c><00:41:42.000><c> to</c><00:41:42.219><c> note</c><00:41:42.340><c> that</c><00:41:42.500><c> there</c><00:41:42.679><c> is</c><00:41:42.920><c> one</c>

00:41:50.179 --> 00:41:51.519
The<00:41:50.440><c> only</c><00:41:50.699><c> one.</c>

00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:53.380
The<00:41:52.099><c> rest</c><00:41:52.360><c> have</c><00:41:52.579><c> different</c><00:41:52.940><c> forms,</c>

00:41:53.400 --> 00:41:55.019
and<00:41:53.559><c> most</c><00:41:53.760><c> of</c><00:41:53.900><c> them</c><00:41:53.980><c> are</c><00:41:54.440><c> somewhat</c><00:41:54.719><c> dictatorships.</c>

00:41:55.460 --> 00:41:57.519
It's<00:41:55.699><c> the</c><00:41:55.960><c> only</c><00:41:56.559><c> one.</c>

00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:01.440
And<00:41:58.579><c> its</c><00:41:59.099><c> ally,</c><00:41:59.760><c> the</c><00:41:59.960><c> United</c><00:42:00.300><c> States,</c>

00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:04.320
as<00:42:01.860><c> critical</c><00:42:02.340><c> as</c><00:42:02.480><c> it</c><00:42:02.679><c> was</c><00:42:02.860><c> over</c><00:42:03.159><c> much</c><00:42:03.500><c> time,</c>

00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:09.019

00:42:09.420 --> 00:42:12.219
and<00:42:09.539><c> yet</c><00:42:09.880><c> God</c><00:42:10.420><c> brought</c><00:42:11.119><c> them</c><00:42:11.300><c> into</c><00:42:11.539><c> the</c><00:42:11.760><c> equation.</c>

00:42:12.699 --> 00:42:14.059
Whether<00:42:13.039><c> they</c><00:42:13.380><c> liked</c><00:42:13.539><c> it</c><00:42:13.780><c> or</c><00:42:13.900><c> not,</c>

00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:16.079
they<00:42:14.179><c> are</c><00:42:14.380><c> fighting</c><00:42:14.719><c> Israel's</c><00:42:15.320><c> battles</c><00:42:15.579><c> for</c><00:42:15.840><c> them.</c>

00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:18.079
They<00:42:16.699><c> are</c><00:42:16.900><c> dealing</c><00:42:17.139><c> with</c><00:42:17.340><c> the</c><00:42:17.579><c> terrorists</c>

00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:19.920
that<00:42:18.579><c> they</c><00:42:18.940><c> basically</c><00:42:19.320><c> tell</c><00:42:19.559><c> Israel,</c>

00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:22.920
you<00:42:20.280><c> cannot</c><00:42:20.900><c> retaliate</c><00:42:21.980><c> for</c><00:42:22.199><c> these</c><00:42:22.420><c> things</c>

00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:25.639
until,<00:42:23.619><c> of</c><00:42:23.800><c> course,</c><00:42:24.059><c> God</c><00:42:24.280><c> gets</c><00:42:24.579><c> involved.</c>

00:42:26.059 --> 00:42:28.019
And<00:42:26.300><c> those</c><00:42:26.619><c> who</c><00:42:26.840><c> bless</c><00:42:27.079><c> Israel</c><00:42:27.440><c> will</c><00:42:27.599><c> be</c><00:42:27.760><c> blessed,</c>

00:42:28.099 --> 00:42:29.960

00:42:30.460 --> 00:42:31.960
It's<00:42:30.579><c> the</c><00:42:30.699><c> promise</c><00:42:30.980><c> made</c><00:42:31.280><c> to</c><00:42:31.500><c> Abraham.</c>

00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:35.199
And<00:42:32.599><c> when</c><00:42:32.800><c> America</c><00:42:33.199><c> stood</c><00:42:33.500><c> aside</c><00:42:33.940><c> from</c><00:42:34.119><c> Israel,</c>

00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:37.920
as<00:42:35.380><c> Britain</c><00:42:35.739><c> did</c><00:42:36.239><c> after</c><00:42:36.679><c> the</c><00:42:36.820><c> Second</c><00:42:37.079><c> World</c><00:42:37.440><c> War,</c>

00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:41.079
America<00:42:38.500><c> has</c><00:42:38.800><c> paid</c><00:42:38.980><c> heavily</c><00:42:39.460><c> for</c><00:42:39.920><c> that</c><00:42:40.139><c> price.</c>

00:42:41.659 --> 00:42:42.480
And<00:42:41.760><c> so,</c><00:42:42.039><c> brothers</c><00:42:42.119><c> and</c><00:42:42.340><c> sisters,</c>

00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:44.739

00:42:44.739 --> 00:42:47.079
peace<00:42:45.159><c> will</c><00:42:45.360><c> come</c><00:42:45.539><c> about</c><00:42:45.800><c> in</c><00:42:45.940><c> the</c><00:42:46.039><c> Middle</c><00:42:46.239><c> East.</c>

00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:49.980
We<00:42:47.599><c> don't</c><00:42:48.099><c> really</c><00:42:48.559><c> know</c><00:42:49.039><c> how</c><00:42:49.400><c> these</c><00:42:49.639><c> events</c>

00:42:51.579 --> 00:42:53.659
But<00:42:51.820><c> we</c><00:42:52.000><c> do</c><00:42:52.239><c> know</c><00:42:52.380><c> the</c><00:42:52.579><c> end</c><00:42:52.739><c> result.</c>

00:42:53.940 --> 00:42:56.639

00:43:47.619 --> 00:43:49.739
and<00:43:48.159><c> will</c><00:43:48.440><c> plead</c><00:43:48.599><c> with</c><00:43:48.760><c> them</c><00:43:48.920><c> there</c><00:43:49.079><c> for</c><00:43:49.219><c> my</c><00:43:49.440><c> people</c>

00:43:49.739 --> 00:43:51.320

00:43:51.780 --> 00:43:53.760
whom<00:43:51.880><c> they</c><00:43:52.139><c> again</c><00:43:52.480><c> scatter</c><00:43:52.800><c> amongst</c><00:43:53.079><c> the</c><00:43:53.400><c> nations.</c>

00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:58.480
And<00:43:54.960><c> he</c><00:43:55.139><c> says</c><00:43:55.340><c> there</c><00:43:55.519><c> that</c><00:43:55.639><c> they</c><00:43:55.940><c> parted</c><00:43:56.980><c> my</c><00:43:57.440><c> land.</c>

00:43:59.059 --> 00:44:02.360
And<00:43:59.219><c> the</c><00:43:59.320><c> word</c><00:43:59.480><c> there,</c><00:43:59.780><c> parted,</c><00:44:00.219><c> is</c><00:44:00.380><c> the</c><00:44:00.440><c> word</c><00:44:01.199><c> kalach,</c><00:44:01.800><c> basically.</c>

00:44:02.460 --> 00:44:05.219
To<00:44:02.699><c> divide,</c><00:44:03.659><c> especially</c><00:44:04.039><c> by</c><00:44:04.420><c> lot.</c>

00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:08.599
It's<00:44:05.800><c> used</c><00:44:06.099><c> basically</c><00:44:06.559><c> when</c><00:44:06.760><c> Israel</c><00:44:07.219><c> went</c><00:44:07.519><c> into</c><00:44:07.860><c> the</c><00:44:08.159><c> land</c>

00:44:08.599 --> 00:44:11.539
and<00:44:09.239><c> they</c><00:44:09.619><c> divided</c><00:44:09.940><c> the</c><00:44:10.199><c> land</c><00:44:10.380><c> up</c><00:44:10.619><c> by</c><00:44:11.039><c> tribes.</c>

00:44:11.920 --> 00:44:13.920
They<00:44:12.219><c> partitioned</c><00:44:12.980><c> it</c><00:44:13.119><c> by</c><00:44:13.420><c> tribes.</c>

00:44:14.360 --> 00:44:17.300
That's<00:44:14.980><c> what</c><00:44:15.199><c> the</c><00:44:15.519><c> northern</c><00:44:15.900><c> host</c><00:44:16.300><c> that</c><00:44:16.480><c> comes</c><00:44:16.780><c> down</c>

00:44:17.300 --> 00:44:19.500
is<00:44:17.780><c> chastised</c><00:44:18.559><c> for.</c>

00:44:20.059 --> 00:44:21.300
Interesting,<00:44:20.820><c> isn't</c><00:44:21.019><c> it,</c>

00:44:21.300 --> 00:44:24.340
when<00:44:21.559><c> we</c><00:44:21.719><c> look</c><00:44:21.920><c> at</c><00:44:21.980><c> what's</c><00:44:22.260><c> going</c><00:44:22.519><c> on</c><00:44:22.760><c> there</c><00:44:22.960><c> right</c><00:44:23.260><c> now.</c>

00:44:24.380 --> 00:44:25.840
That<00:44:24.519><c> one</c><00:44:24.659><c> of</c><00:44:24.840><c> the</c><00:44:24.960><c> things</c><00:44:25.159><c> spoken</c><00:44:25.579><c> about</c>

00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:27.539
would<00:44:26.000><c> be</c><00:44:26.159><c> the</c><00:44:26.380><c> division</c><00:44:26.800><c> of</c><00:44:27.079><c> the</c><00:44:27.260><c> land.</c>

00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:29.960
Not<00:44:28.039><c> just</c><00:44:28.340><c> the</c><00:44:28.659><c> spoil,</c><00:44:28.940><c> not</c><00:44:29.199><c> just</c><00:44:29.460><c> the</c><00:44:29.679><c> fray,</c>

00:44:30.139 --> 00:44:33.280
not<00:44:30.460><c> just</c><00:44:30.760><c> against</c><00:44:31.099><c> Israel,</c><00:44:31.920><c> against</c><00:44:32.039><c> the</c><00:44:32.300><c> people,</c><00:44:32.800><c> the</c><00:44:32.840><c> Jews,</c>

00:44:33.719 --> 00:44:37.780
but<00:44:34.019><c> also</c><00:44:34.500><c> that</c><00:44:34.659><c> they</c><00:44:34.860><c> would</c><00:44:35.219><c> part</c><00:44:35.559><c> my</c><00:44:37.139><c> land.</c>

00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:41.059
And<00:44:38.440><c> that's</c><00:44:38.699><c> the</c><00:44:38.920><c> focus.</c><00:44:39.440><c> It's</c><00:44:39.760><c> God's</c><00:44:40.280><c> land.</c>

00:44:41.219 --> 00:44:43.880
So<00:44:41.320><c> as</c><00:44:41.400><c> we</c><00:44:41.599><c> continue</c><00:44:42.119><c> to</c><00:44:42.340><c> go</c><00:44:42.519><c> through</c><00:44:42.739><c> and</c><00:44:42.880><c> to</c><00:44:43.019><c> look</c><00:44:43.139><c> at</c><00:44:43.300><c> these</c><00:44:43.440><c> things,</c>

00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:45.679
we're<00:44:44.460><c> going</c><00:44:44.460><c> to</c><00:44:44.659><c> spend</c><00:44:44.820><c> some</c><00:44:45.099><c> time</c><00:44:45.260><c> to</c><00:44:45.460><c> look</c><00:44:45.599><c> at</c>

00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:47.159
what's<00:44:46.000><c> going</c><00:44:46.219><c> on</c><00:44:46.360><c> in</c><00:44:46.480><c> the</c><00:44:46.579><c> Middle</c><00:44:46.780><c> East.</c>

00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:49.099
We're<00:44:47.760><c> going</c><00:44:47.780><c> to</c><00:44:47.800><c> look</c><00:44:47.940><c> at</c><00:44:48.000><c> what's</c><00:44:48.280><c> going</c><00:44:48.460><c> on</c><00:44:48.559><c> in</c><00:44:48.699><c> Russia.</c>

00:44:49.099 --> 00:44:51.420
We're<00:44:49.719><c> going</c><00:44:49.940><c> to</c><00:44:50.119><c> try</c><00:44:50.360><c> and</c><00:44:50.480><c> put</c><00:44:50.679><c> some</c><00:44:50.860><c> of</c><00:44:50.920><c> the</c><00:44:51.019><c> other</c><00:44:51.139><c> pieces</c>

00:44:51.420 --> 00:44:52.960
of<00:44:51.579><c> the</c><00:44:51.699><c> puzzle</c><00:44:51.940><c> together.</c>

00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:55.380
As<00:44:53.679><c> we</c><00:44:53.920><c> go</c><00:44:54.239><c> through</c><00:44:54.420><c> and</c><00:44:54.599><c> we</c><00:44:54.679><c> look</c><00:44:54.800><c> at</c><00:44:54.940><c> these</c><00:44:55.139><c> things,</c>

00:44:55.400 --> 00:45:00.059
we<00:44:55.659><c> see</c><00:44:56.159><c> that</c><00:44:57.480><c> these</c><00:44:57.760><c> things</c><00:44:57.980><c> are</c><00:44:58.219><c> beginning</c><00:44:58.559><c> to</c><00:44:58.820><c> come</c><00:44:58.960><c> to</c><00:44:59.199><c> pass.</c>

00:45:00.380 --> 00:45:03.780
That<00:45:00.500><c> the</c><00:45:00.699><c> criteria</c><00:45:01.320><c> for</c><00:45:01.539><c> the</c><00:45:01.699><c> invasion</c><00:45:02.039><c> of</c><00:45:02.199><c> Ezekiel</c><00:45:02.539><c> 38,</c>

00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:06.000
all<00:45:04.260><c> the</c><00:45:04.500><c> blocks</c><00:45:04.780><c> are</c><00:45:05.039><c> falling</c><00:45:05.280><c> into</c><00:45:05.639><c> place.</c>

00:45:06.360 --> 00:45:09.099
How<00:45:06.739><c> exactly</c><00:45:07.239><c> some</c><00:45:07.440><c> of</c><00:45:07.559><c> it</c><00:45:07.639><c> will</c><00:45:07.800><c> be</c><00:45:08.039><c> achieved,</c><00:45:08.239><c> we</c><00:45:08.380><c> don't</c><00:45:08.679><c> know.</c>

00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:10.679
But<00:45:09.480><c> we</c><00:45:09.619><c> do</c><00:45:09.840><c> know</c><00:45:09.960><c> the</c><00:45:10.159><c> end</c><00:45:10.300><c> result.</c>

00:45:11.159 --> 00:45:12.739
And,<00:45:11.400><c> brothers</c><00:45:11.400><c> and</c><00:45:11.460><c> sisters,</c><00:45:11.719><c> it's</c><00:45:11.940><c> up</c><00:45:12.119><c> to</c><00:45:12.280><c> us</c>

00:45:12.739 --> 00:45:14.699
to<00:45:13.159><c> prepare</c><00:45:13.500><c> ourselves</c><00:45:13.980><c> in</c><00:45:14.159><c> the</c><00:45:14.280><c> meantime</c>

00:45:14.699 --> 00:45:16.940
for<00:45:15.139><c> when</c><00:45:15.340><c> this</c><00:45:15.679><c> time</c><00:45:16.139><c> does</c><00:45:16.579><c> come.</c>

00:45:16.940 --> 00:45:20.519
I'd<00:45:17.760><c> just</c><00:45:17.780><c> like</c><00:45:17.940><c> you</c><00:45:18.079><c> to</c><00:45:18.219><c> turn</c><00:45:18.440><c> to</c><00:45:19.099><c> Psalm</c><00:45:19.340><c> 102.</c>

00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:23.280
Because<00:45:21.440><c> here</c><00:45:21.739><c> is</c><00:45:21.880><c> really</c><00:45:22.179><c> the</c><00:45:22.360><c> exhortation</c><00:45:22.900><c> for</c><00:45:23.159><c> us.</c>

00:45:23.420 --> 00:45:25.219
As<00:45:23.420><c> we</c><00:45:23.820><c> watch</c><00:45:24.059><c> these</c><00:45:24.300><c> things</c><00:45:24.519><c> go</c><00:45:24.800><c> on,</c>

00:45:25.460 --> 00:45:27.519

00:45:29.780 --> 00:45:32.519

00:45:35.500 --> 00:45:37.659
We<00:45:35.739><c> can't</c><00:45:35.980><c> just</c><00:45:36.260><c> sit</c><00:45:36.480><c> back</c><00:45:36.760><c> and</c><00:45:36.920><c> look</c><00:45:37.099><c> at</c><00:45:37.280><c> them</c>

00:45:44.420 --> 00:45:47.679
But<00:45:44.980><c> we</c><00:45:45.159><c> have</c><00:45:45.400><c> to</c><00:45:45.519><c> do</c><00:45:45.760><c> something</c><00:45:46.079><c> about</c><00:45:46.380><c> it</c><00:45:46.519><c> in</c><00:45:46.619><c> our</c><00:45:46.780><c> lives.</c>
