00:00:46.939 --> 00:00:50.100
I<00:00:47.100><c> think</c><00:00:47.259><c> it</c><00:00:47.380><c> was</c><00:00:47.579><c> like</c><00:00:47.759><c> in</c><00:00:47.920><c> February,</c><00:00:49.039><c> I</c><00:00:49.340><c> picked</c><00:00:49.520><c> this</c><00:00:49.899><c> title,</c>

Now<00:07:11.300><c> we</c><00:07:11.399><c> know</c><00:07:11.639><c> in</c><00:07:11.800><c> the</c><00:07:11.959><c> law</c><00:07:12.079><c> of</c><00:07:12.339><c> Moses</c>

00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:17.000
that<00:07:13.459><c> before</c><00:07:13.819><c> two</c><00:07:14.100><c> or</c><00:07:14.220><c> three</c><00:07:14.480><c> witnesses</c><00:07:15.019><c> everything</c><00:07:15.560><c> was</c><00:07:15.879><c> established.</c>

00:07:17.860 --> 00:07:21.480
Here<00:07:18.100><c> we</c><00:07:18.360><c> have</c><00:07:18.600><c> a</c><00:07:18.800><c> whole</c><00:07:19.060><c> history,</c><00:07:20.019><c> thousands</c><00:07:20.379><c> of</c><00:07:20.639><c> years</c><00:07:20.839><c> of</c><00:07:21.060><c> people,</c>

00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:25.160
where<00:07:22.139><c> God</c><00:07:22.680><c> through</c><00:07:23.279><c> the</c><00:07:23.500><c> words</c><00:07:23.720><c> of</c><00:07:24.079><c> prophecy</c><00:07:24.360><c> has</c><00:07:24.680><c> over</c><00:07:24.980><c> and</c>

00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:26.180
over<00:07:25.379><c> again</c>

00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:30.319
demonstrated<00:07:26.839><c> in</c><00:07:27.399><c> the</c><00:07:27.500><c> history</c><00:07:27.800><c> of</c><00:07:28.019><c> that</c><00:07:28.199><c> nation</c><00:07:28.519><c> His</c><00:07:28.839><c> presence</c><00:07:29.199><c> on</c><00:07:29.480><c> earth.</c>

00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:34.079
And<00:07:30.519><c> I</c><00:07:30.759><c> think</c><00:07:31.040><c> sometimes</c><00:07:31.540><c> it's</c><00:07:31.819><c> hard</c><00:07:32.300><c> to</c><00:07:33.279><c> imagine</c><00:07:33.759><c> that</c><00:07:33.980><c> and</c>

00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:34.699
have<00:07:34.220><c> great</c><00:07:34.519><c> faith</c>

00:07:34.699 --> 00:07:38.519
because<00:07:35.100><c> God's</c><00:07:35.680><c> time</c><00:07:35.920><c> scale</c><00:07:36.120><c> is</c><00:07:36.300><c> so</c><00:07:36.600><c> different</c><00:07:37.000><c> to</c><00:07:38.060><c> those</c><00:07:38.339><c> of</c>

00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.079
us<00:07:38.740><c> who</c><00:07:39.079><c> are</c><00:07:39.420><c> a</c><00:07:39.519><c> little</c><00:07:39.639><c> bit</c><00:07:39.839><c> older.</c>

00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.839
We<00:07:40.779><c> remember</c><00:07:41.180><c> when</c><00:07:41.800><c> Israel</c><00:07:42.180><c> became</c><00:07:42.519><c> a</c><00:07:42.680><c> nation</c><00:07:42.879><c> in</c><00:07:43.199><c> 1948.</c>

00:07:43.899 --> 00:07:49.100
That<00:07:44.019><c> was</c><00:07:44.199><c> a</c><00:07:44.379><c> remarkable</c><00:07:44.959><c> prophecy</c><00:07:45.620><c> that</c><00:07:46.879><c> the</c><00:07:47.240><c> Brotherhood</c><00:07:47.540><c> had</c><00:07:47.699><c> looked</c><00:07:47.879><c> forward</c><00:07:48.139><c> to</c><00:07:48.319><c> for</c><00:07:48.540><c> a</c><00:07:48.699><c> century.</c>

00:07:49.100 --> 00:07:53.600
From<00:07:50.300><c> the</c><00:07:50.519><c> time</c><00:07:50.779><c> that</c><00:07:51.040><c> John</c><00:07:51.240><c> Thomas</c><00:07:51.519><c> wrote</c><00:07:51.779><c> Elpis</c><00:07:52.079><c> Israel</c><00:07:52.379><c> in</c><00:07:52.579><c> 1848,</c>

00:07:54.180 --> 00:07:58.980
Christadelphians<00:07:54.779><c> had</c><00:07:55.019><c> looked</c><00:07:55.259><c> forward</c><00:07:55.819><c> to</c><00:07:56.319><c> Israel</c><00:07:56.819><c> becoming</c><00:07:57.319><c> a</c><00:07:57.600><c> nation</c><00:07:58.100><c> on</c>

00:07:58.980 --> 00:08:00.139
their<00:07:59.259><c> own.</c>

00:08:00.500 --> 00:08:02.720
And,<00:08:00.620><c> you</c><00:08:00.720><c> know,</c><00:08:00.920><c> when</c><00:08:01.100><c> it</c><00:08:01.300><c> happened,</c><00:08:02.040><c> everybody</c><00:08:02.439><c> said,</c>

00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:06.839
well,<00:08:03.279><c> you</c><00:08:04.019><c> know,</c><00:08:04.240><c> it's</c><00:08:04.439><c> just</c><00:08:05.360><c> circumstance.</c>

00:08:07.420 --> 00:08:11.160
But<00:08:07.639><c> actually</c><00:08:08.259><c> it</c><00:08:08.379><c> was</c><00:08:08.620><c> 50</c><00:08:09.000><c> years</c><00:08:09.560><c> later</c><00:08:10.000><c> after</c><00:08:10.379><c> Elpis</c><00:08:10.740><c> Israel,</c>

00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:17.879
it<00:08:11.300><c> was</c><00:08:11.519><c> 50</c><00:08:11.839><c> years</c><00:08:12.480><c> till</c><00:08:13.240><c> 1897</c><00:08:14.639><c> that</c><00:08:15.220><c> the</c><00:08:15.439><c> Jews</c><00:08:15.639><c> themselves</c><00:08:16.319><c> even</c><00:08:16.819><c> formed</c><00:08:17.040><c> an</c><00:08:17.279><c> organization</c>

00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:20.519
called<00:08:18.379><c> Zionism</c><00:08:19.100><c> to</c><00:08:19.459><c> take</c><00:08:19.759><c> back</c><00:08:19.959><c> the</c><00:08:20.160><c> land.</c>

00:08:20.899 --> 00:08:24.379
So<00:08:21.040><c> we</c><00:08:21.160><c> were</c><00:08:21.339><c> way</c><00:08:21.579><c> ahead</c><00:08:21.839><c> of</c><00:08:22.220><c> that</c><00:08:22.759><c> in</c><00:08:22.959><c> that</c><00:08:23.220><c> whole</c><00:08:23.459><c> sense.</c>

00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.139
And<00:08:24.560><c> then</c><00:08:24.680><c> there</c><00:08:24.779><c> were</c><00:08:24.920><c> other</c><00:08:25.139><c> events</c><00:08:25.439><c> that</c><00:08:25.759><c> occurred,</c>

00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.480
the<00:08:26.680><c> establishment</c><00:08:27.100><c> of</c><00:08:27.420><c> Jerusalem</c><00:08:27.879><c> as</c><00:08:28.240><c> their</c><00:08:28.459><c> capital.</c>

00:08:30.180 --> 00:08:33.759
And<00:08:30.319><c> we</c><00:08:30.459><c> know</c><00:08:30.699><c> the</c><00:08:31.000><c> prophecy</c><00:08:31.540><c> in</c><00:08:32.259><c> Luke</c><00:08:32.539><c> about</c><00:08:33.059><c> the</c><00:08:33.279><c> times</c><00:08:33.519><c> that</c>

00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.519
the<00:08:33.860><c> Gentiles</c><00:08:34.360><c> would</c><00:08:34.679><c> end</c>

00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:37.500
when<00:08:36.100><c> Jerusalem</c><00:08:36.539><c> was</c><00:08:36.860><c> again</c><00:08:37.059><c> established.</c>

00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.860
So<00:08:37.700><c> we</c><00:08:37.840><c> are</c><00:08:38.200><c> sitting</c><00:08:38.500><c> literally</c><00:08:39.299><c> in</c><00:08:40.299><c> the</c><00:08:40.559><c> last</c><00:08:40.899><c> days</c>

00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:44.480
and<00:08:42.379><c> we</c><00:08:42.559><c> will</c><00:08:42.700><c> take</c><00:08:42.860><c> a</c><00:08:43.039><c> good</c><00:08:43.200><c> look</c><00:08:43.419><c> at</c><00:08:43.539><c> how</c><00:08:43.679><c> these</c><00:08:44.000><c> prophecies</c>

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:45.360
relate<00:08:44.779><c> to</c><00:08:44.960><c> Israel.</c>

00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.919
Now<00:08:45.759><c> I</c><00:08:45.820><c> want</c><00:08:46.039><c> to</c><00:08:46.100><c> point</c><00:08:46.360><c> out</c><00:08:46.580><c> a</c><00:08:46.679><c> few</c><00:08:46.860><c> things</c><00:08:47.179><c> about</c><00:08:47.539><c> prophecy</c><00:08:48.139><c> that</c><00:08:48.740><c> I</c>

00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:50.720
think<00:08:49.120><c> are</c><00:08:49.519><c> fundamental.</c>

00:08:54.220 --> 00:08:57.779
First,<00:08:56.039><c> when</c><00:08:56.139><c> we</c><00:08:56.279><c> open</c><00:08:56.460><c> up</c><00:08:56.659><c> the</c><00:08:56.740><c> Book</c><00:08:56.940><c> of</c><00:08:57.159><c> Revelations,</c>

00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.960
the<00:08:58.100><c> very</c><00:08:58.440><c> first</c><00:08:58.740><c> chapter,</c><00:08:59.240><c> he</c><00:08:59.379><c> says</c><00:08:59.779><c> in</c><00:09:00.059><c> the</c><00:09:00.139><c> verse,</c><00:09:00.960><c> verse,</c>

00:09:01.220 --> 00:09:03.740
that<00:09:01.240><c> it</c><00:09:01.320><c> is</c><00:09:01.539><c> the</c><00:09:01.639><c> revelation</c><00:09:02.139><c> of</c><00:09:02.340><c> Jesus</c><00:09:02.779><c> Christ</c><00:09:03.100><c> which</c><00:09:03.399><c> God</c>

00:09:03.740 --> 00:09:05.659
gave<00:09:04.080><c> unto</c><00:09:04.480><c> him.</c>

00:09:05.779 --> 00:09:09.299
Notice,<00:09:07.139><c> God</c><00:09:07.440><c> had</c><00:09:07.639><c> to</c><00:09:07.799><c> give</c><00:09:07.919><c> this</c><00:09:08.120><c> to</c><00:09:08.299><c> Jesus.</c>

00:09:09.539 --> 00:09:12.919
This<00:09:09.759><c> is</c><00:09:10.000><c> around</c><00:09:10.299><c> 90</c><00:09:11.059><c> to</c><00:09:11.440><c> 95</c><00:09:12.259><c> AD,</c>

00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.179
some<00:09:13.500><c> 60</c><00:09:13.879><c> years</c><00:09:14.220><c> or</c><00:09:14.419><c> so</c><00:09:14.580><c> after</c><00:09:14.820><c> the</c><00:09:15.019><c> crucifixion.</c>

00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:21.059
If<00:09:16.500><c> Jesus</c><00:09:17.039><c> were</c><00:09:18.220><c> God,</c><00:09:19.279><c> God</c><00:09:19.519><c> wouldn't</c><00:09:19.679><c> have</c><00:09:19.899><c> to</c><00:09:20.000><c> give</c><00:09:20.100><c> him</c><00:09:20.220><c> anything.</c>

00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.259
So<00:09:23.059><c> over</c><00:09:23.639><c> and</c><00:09:23.679><c> over</c><00:09:23.960><c> again</c><00:09:24.120><c> in</c><00:09:24.299><c> Scripture</c><00:09:24.500><c> you</c><00:09:24.639><c> see</c><00:09:24.879><c> little</c>

00:09:25.259 --> 00:09:27.580
things<00:09:25.620><c> that</c><00:09:25.799><c> you</c><00:09:25.899><c> can</c><00:09:26.059><c> just</c><00:09:26.399><c> pass</c><00:09:26.700><c> over.</c>

00:09:27.620 --> 00:09:30.539
But<00:09:27.799><c> here,</c><00:09:28.240><c> at</c><00:09:28.379><c> this</c><00:09:28.600><c> time,</c><00:09:29.059><c> Jesus</c><00:09:29.460><c> Christ</c><00:09:29.779><c> receives</c><00:09:30.320><c> from</c>

00:09:30.539 --> 00:09:31.340
the<00:09:30.759><c> Father</c>

00:09:31.340 --> 00:09:34.899
a<00:09:32.200><c> message</c><00:09:32.639><c> to</c><00:09:32.940><c> show</c><00:09:33.179><c> to</c><00:09:33.399><c> his</c><00:09:33.639><c> servants.</c>

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:40.000
And<00:09:36.120><c> you</c><00:09:36.440><c> realize</c><00:09:36.919><c> right</c><00:09:37.159><c> away</c><00:09:37.379><c> that</c><00:09:37.700><c> prophecy</c><00:09:38.240><c> is</c><00:09:39.259><c> aimed</c><00:09:39.659><c> at</c>

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.259
the<00:09:40.200><c> household</c><00:09:40.539><c> of</c><00:09:40.840><c> faith</c><00:09:41.059><c> primarily.</c>

00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:46.460
You<00:09:43.019><c> don't</c><00:09:43.340><c> convert</c><00:09:43.799><c> people</c><00:09:44.179><c> by</c><00:09:44.500><c> dazzling</c><00:09:44.960><c> them</c><00:09:45.159><c> with</c><00:09:45.539><c> prophecy.</c>

00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.120
In<00:09:47.000><c> fact,</c><00:09:47.159><c> I</c><00:09:47.259><c> think</c><00:09:47.379><c> it's</c><00:09:47.539><c> probably</c><00:09:47.840><c> a</c><00:09:47.980><c> mistake</c><00:09:48.419><c> to</c><00:09:48.679><c> do</c><00:09:48.879><c> that,</c>

00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.779
to<00:09:49.299><c> think</c><00:09:49.720><c> sometimes</c><00:09:50.480><c> you</c><00:09:50.679><c> attract</c><00:09:50.899><c> people</c><00:09:51.200><c> only</c><00:09:51.419><c> interested</c>

00:09:51.779 --> 00:09:53.259
in<00:09:51.960><c> the</c><00:09:52.259><c> politics</c><00:09:52.539><c> in</c><00:09:52.720><c> the</c><00:09:52.820><c> Middle</c><00:09:53.080><c> East</c>

00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.779
So<00:09:56.039><c> prophecy</c><00:09:56.419><c> is</c><00:09:56.879><c> aimed</c><00:09:57.080><c> at</c><00:09:57.340><c> us,</c><00:09:57.759><c> it's</c><00:09:57.899><c> aimed</c><00:09:58.080><c> at</c><00:09:58.259><c> the</c><00:09:58.440><c> household,</c>

00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:02.120
those<00:09:59.080><c> who</c><00:09:59.759><c> want</c><00:10:00.019><c> to</c><00:10:00.279><c> be</c><00:10:00.679><c> God's</c><00:10:01.080><c> servants</c><00:10:01.200><c> in</c><00:10:01.379><c> the</c><00:10:01.519><c> first</c><00:10:01.740><c> place,</c>

00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:05.299

00:10:05.620 --> 00:10:08.700
And<00:10:06.000><c> most</c><00:10:06.299><c> often</c><00:10:06.740><c> they</c><00:10:07.080><c> are</c><00:10:07.299><c> not</c><00:10:07.500><c> totally</c><00:10:07.919><c> clear</c><00:10:08.159><c> until</c><00:10:08.419><c> after</c>

00:10:08.700 --> 00:10:09.440
they've<00:10:09.059><c> occurred.</c>

00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:12.559
We<00:10:10.320><c> get</c><00:10:10.600><c> bogged</c><00:10:10.860><c> down</c><00:10:11.080><c> in</c><00:10:11.240><c> the</c><00:10:11.440><c> details,</c>

00:10:12.779 --> 00:10:15.799
and<00:10:12.779><c> we</c><00:10:13.679><c> assume</c><00:10:14.080><c> a</c><00:10:14.320><c> certain</c><00:10:14.600><c> sequence</c><00:10:15.080><c> of</c><00:10:15.299><c> events</c><00:10:15.460><c> is</c><00:10:15.639><c> going</c>

00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:19.679
and<00:10:17.019><c> yet</c><00:10:17.240><c> everything</c><00:10:17.539><c> happens,</c><00:10:18.720><c> maybe</c><00:10:18.899><c> a</c><00:10:19.019><c> little</c><00:10:19.159><c> bit</c><00:10:19.440><c> differently,</c>

00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:24.860
but<00:10:19.899><c> the</c><00:10:20.100><c> end</c><00:10:20.279><c> result</c><00:10:20.759><c> of</c><00:10:20.919><c> what</c><00:10:21.080><c> God</c><00:10:21.320><c> predicted</c><00:10:22.019><c> occurs</c><00:10:23.700><c> exactly</c><00:10:24.379><c> the</c>

00:10:27.139 --> 00:10:31.559
For<00:10:27.320><c> example,</c><00:10:28.679><c> most</c><00:10:29.320><c> brethren</c><00:10:29.759><c> believed</c><00:10:30.139><c> in</c><00:10:30.360><c> the</c><00:10:30.820><c> 19th</c><00:10:31.340><c> century</c>

00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.600
that<00:10:31.779><c> Britain</c><00:10:32.080><c> was</c><00:10:32.320><c> going</c><00:10:32.480><c> to</c><00:10:32.659><c> aid</c><00:10:33.899><c> Israel</c><00:10:34.580><c> in</c><00:10:34.779><c> becoming</c><00:10:35.059><c> a</c><00:10:35.259><c> nation,</c>

00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.559
that<00:10:36.259><c> Britain</c><00:10:36.559><c> was</c><00:10:36.840><c> going</c><00:10:37.100><c> to</c><00:10:37.360><c> aid</c><00:10:37.960><c> the</c><00:10:38.600><c> Jews</c><00:10:38.820><c> in</c><00:10:39.139><c> going</c><00:10:39.299><c> back</c>

00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:40.759
to<00:10:39.740><c> the</c><00:10:39.919><c> land,</c>

00:10:40.820 --> 00:10:43.320
and<00:10:40.820><c> that</c><00:10:40.940><c> it</c><00:10:41.039><c> would</c><00:10:41.259><c> strengthen</c><00:10:41.679><c> them</c><00:10:41.879><c> and</c><00:10:42.080><c> protect</c><00:10:42.460><c> them</c><00:10:42.679><c> and</c><00:10:42.879><c> plant</c><00:10:43.080><c> them</c><00:10:43.220><c> in</c>

00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:44.340
the<00:10:43.500><c> land.</c>

00:10:46.620 --> 00:10:50.759
Well,<00:10:46.860><c> they</c><00:10:47.100><c> did,</c><00:10:48.100><c> but</c><00:10:48.460><c> not</c><00:10:48.679><c> the</c><00:10:48.779><c> way</c><00:10:48.899><c> they</c><00:10:49.120><c> thought</c><00:10:49.340><c> at</c><00:10:49.580><c> all.</c>

00:10:51.779 --> 00:10:53.980
The<00:10:52.000><c> English</c><00:10:52.159><c> were</c><00:10:52.360><c> terribly</c><00:10:52.799><c> hostile</c><00:10:53.220><c> to</c><00:10:53.419><c> the</c><00:10:53.559><c> Jews</c><00:10:53.720><c> coming</c>

00:10:53.980 --> 00:10:54.419
in<00:10:54.139><c> the</c><00:10:54.279><c> land,</c>

00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.399
and<00:10:54.539><c> they</c><00:10:54.679><c> did</c><00:10:54.759><c> everything</c><00:10:55.039><c> to</c><00:10:55.279><c> stop</c><00:10:55.519><c> them.</c>

00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.480
And<00:10:56.659><c> the</c><00:10:56.820><c> Jews</c><00:10:57.039><c> became</c><00:10:57.399><c> strong</c><00:10:57.860><c> by</c><00:10:58.080><c> that,</c>

00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.000
developed<00:10:59.059><c> an</c><00:10:59.360><c> army</c><00:10:59.539><c> and</c><00:10:59.700><c> everything</c><00:10:59.919><c> to</c><00:11:00.039><c> get</c><00:11:00.159><c> the</c><00:11:00.360><c> British</c><00:11:00.580><c> out.</c>

00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.559
And<00:11:01.500><c> once</c><00:11:01.720><c> they</c><00:11:01.879><c> did</c><00:11:02.080><c> that,</c><00:11:02.399><c> they</c><00:11:02.419><c> were</c><00:11:02.639><c> strong</c><00:11:02.840><c> enough</c><00:11:03.039><c> to</c><00:11:03.200><c> take</c><00:11:03.379><c> on</c>

00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:04.659
the<00:11:03.840><c> Arabs.</c>

00:11:05.899 --> 00:11:08.100
So<00:11:06.019><c> it</c><00:11:06.120><c> came</c><00:11:06.360><c> exactly</c><00:11:06.860><c> as</c><00:11:07.000><c> they</c><00:11:07.240><c> thought,</c><00:11:07.480><c> but</c><00:11:07.639><c> not</c><00:11:07.820><c> in</c><00:11:07.980><c> the</c>

00:11:08.100 --> 00:11:09.279
way<00:11:08.240><c> they</c><00:11:08.500><c> thought.</c>

00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:12.320
And<00:11:09.779><c> then</c><00:11:09.980><c> he</c><00:11:09.980><c> says</c><00:11:10.240><c> in</c><00:11:10.580><c> the</c><00:11:10.899><c> 22nd</c><00:11:11.799><c> chapter,</c><00:11:12.120><c> he</c><00:11:12.120><c> says,</c>

00:11:12.340 --> 00:11:14.620
Surely<00:11:12.860><c> I</c><00:11:13.179><c> come</c><00:11:13.580><c> quickly.</c>

00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:17.000
And<00:11:15.000><c> this</c><00:11:15.159><c> is</c><00:11:15.340><c> written</c><00:11:15.539><c> 2</c><00:11:15.860><c>,000</c><00:11:16.200><c> years</c><00:11:16.539><c> ago,</c>

00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:20.759
and<00:11:17.559><c> we</c><00:11:17.720><c> know</c><00:11:17.940><c> it</c><00:11:18.139><c> says</c><00:11:18.440><c> a</c><00:11:18.940><c> day</c><00:11:19.279><c> with</c><00:11:19.480><c> the</c><00:11:19.600><c> Lord</c><00:11:19.759><c> is</c><00:11:19.919><c> as</c><00:11:20.080><c> 1</c><00:11:20.279><c>,000</c><00:11:20.539><c> years.</c>

00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:23.059
So<00:11:20.919><c> we</c><00:11:20.980><c> should</c><00:11:21.120><c> be</c><00:11:21.360><c> patient</c><00:11:21.740><c> with</c><00:11:22.080><c> prophecy.</c>

00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.580
Everybody<00:11:24.440><c> wants</c><00:11:24.879><c> Christ</c><00:11:25.220><c> to</c><00:11:25.440><c> come</c><00:11:25.759><c> in</c><00:11:26.159><c> their</c><00:11:26.580><c> lifetime.</c>

00:11:29.820 --> 00:11:36.320
And<00:11:30.299><c> I</c><00:11:30.419><c> can</c><00:11:30.639><c> tell</c><00:11:30.879><c> you</c><00:11:31.639><c> that</c><00:11:32.179><c> that's</c><00:11:33.139><c> almost</c><00:11:33.820><c> a</c><00:11:34.799><c> certainty</c><00:11:35.139><c> for</c><00:11:35.519><c> everyone.</c>

00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:38.519
You<00:11:36.679><c> may</c><00:11:36.899><c> miss</c><00:11:37.100><c> it</c><00:11:37.240><c> by</c><00:11:37.440><c> a</c><00:11:37.580><c> minute.</c>

00:11:39.139 --> 00:11:40.720
You<00:11:39.620><c> may</c><00:11:39.899><c> die.</c>

00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:43.580
But<00:11:41.120><c> the</c><00:11:41.299><c> next</c><00:11:41.639><c> instant,</c><00:11:42.360><c> the</c><00:11:42.440><c> only</c><00:11:42.659><c> thing</c><00:11:42.840><c> you</c><00:11:42.960><c> will</c><00:11:43.179><c> know</c>

00:11:43.580 --> 00:11:46.220
is<00:11:44.419><c> the</c><00:11:44.600><c> coming</c><00:11:44.779><c> of</c><00:11:44.960><c> the</c><00:11:45.039><c> Lord</c><00:11:45.220><c> and</c><00:11:45.320><c> the</c><00:11:45.460><c> Kingdom.</c>

00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:50.639
So<00:11:46.679><c> the</c><00:11:47.080><c> longest</c><00:11:48.139><c> time</c><00:11:48.620><c> span</c><00:11:48.919><c> that</c><00:11:49.120><c> can</c><00:11:49.360><c> be</c><00:11:49.519><c> for</c><00:11:49.720><c> anyone</c><00:11:50.200><c> to</c>

00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:51.600
meet<00:11:50.919><c> their</c><00:11:51.159><c> Messiah</c>

00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:53.120
is<00:11:52.100><c> the</c><00:11:52.299><c> length</c><00:11:52.460><c> of</c><00:11:52.639><c> their</c><00:11:52.799><c> life.</c>

00:11:53.620 --> 00:11:55.240
That's<00:11:53.940><c> the</c><00:11:54.100><c> longest</c><00:11:54.360><c> any</c><00:11:54.600><c> of</c><00:11:54.700><c> us</c><00:11:54.879><c> will</c><00:11:55.080><c> wait.</c>

00:11:55.539 --> 00:11:57.059
It's<00:11:55.860><c> not</c><00:11:56.059><c> 2</c><00:11:56.320><c>,000</c><00:11:56.659><c> years.</c>

00:11:57.059 --> 00:12:00.919
The<00:11:57.799><c> day</c><00:11:58.059><c> that</c><00:11:58.240><c> Abraham</c><00:11:58.539><c> fell</c><00:11:58.840><c> asleep,</c><00:12:00.000><c> from</c><00:12:00.080><c> that</c><00:12:00.299><c> day</c><00:12:00.539><c> forward,</c>

00:12:10.779 --> 00:12:12.059
There's<00:12:11.000><c> no</c><00:12:11.220><c> delay</c><00:12:11.500><c> with</c><00:12:11.740><c> God.</c>

00:12:12.379 --> 00:12:15.340
There's<00:12:12.580><c> only</c><00:12:12.840><c> delay</c><00:12:13.120><c> in</c><00:12:13.279><c> our</c><00:12:13.519><c> minds</c><00:12:13.820><c> because</c><00:12:14.279><c> we</c><00:12:14.840><c> live</c><00:12:15.080><c> in</c><00:12:15.220><c> a</c>

00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.399
Another<00:12:31.659><c> thing</c><00:12:31.919><c> that</c><00:12:32.080><c> should</c><00:12:32.200><c> be</c><00:12:32.440><c> borne</c><00:12:32.659><c> in</c><00:12:32.840><c> mind</c><00:12:33.000><c> in</c><00:12:33.159><c> looking</c>

is<00:12:35.899><c> to</c><00:12:36.080><c> be</c><00:12:36.240><c> a</c><00:12:36.240><c> little</c><00:12:36.519><c> bit</c><00:12:37.259><c> careful</c><00:12:37.600><c> and</c><00:12:37.860><c> humble</c><00:12:38.159><c> about</c><00:12:38.500><c> interpreting</c><00:12:39.000><c> it.</c>

00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.720
Jesus<00:12:40.919><c> said</c><00:12:41.220><c> to</c><00:12:41.379><c> His</c><00:12:41.519><c> disciples,</c><00:12:42.700><c> speaking</c><00:12:43.000><c> of</c><00:12:43.220><c> the</c><00:12:43.379><c> time</c><00:12:43.580><c> of</c>

00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:44.440
His<00:12:43.899><c> coming,</c>

00:12:44.779 --> 00:12:49.100
but<00:12:44.940><c> of</c><00:12:45.059><c> that</c><00:12:45.360><c> day</c><00:12:45.620><c> and</c><00:12:45.820><c> hour,</c><00:12:47.480><c> knoweth</c><00:12:47.779><c> no</c><00:12:48.100><c> man.</c>

00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:51.559
No,<00:12:49.639><c> not</c><00:12:49.899><c> the</c><00:12:50.159><c> angels</c><00:12:50.539><c> of</c><00:12:50.799><c> heaven.</c>

00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:54.220
Now<00:12:51.980><c> that</c><00:12:52.179><c> is</c><00:12:52.419><c> just</c><00:12:52.700><c> terrible</c><00:12:53.159><c> English,</c><00:12:53.820><c> right?</c>

00:12:54.220 --> 00:12:58.240
It's<00:12:55.019><c> translated</c><00:12:55.460><c> from</c><00:12:55.820><c> the</c><00:12:55.980><c> Hebrew,</c><00:12:56.740><c> and</c><00:12:56.820><c> it's</c><00:12:57.039><c> no,</c><00:12:57.620><c> no,</c><00:12:58.059><c> not.</c>

00:12:58.340 --> 00:13:01.220
I<00:12:58.379><c> mean,</c><00:12:58.539><c> if</c><00:12:58.700><c> I</c><00:12:58.919><c> saw</c><00:12:59.059><c> a</c><00:12:59.200><c> sentence</c><00:12:59.480><c> like</c><00:12:59.799><c> that</c><00:13:00.460><c> from</c><00:13:00.759><c> a</c><00:13:00.980><c> student</c>

00:13:01.220 --> 00:13:01.960
at<00:13:01.399><c> the</c><00:13:01.539><c> university,</c>

00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:03.700
I<00:13:02.120><c> would</c><00:13:02.279><c> have</c><00:13:02.419><c> a</c><00:13:02.559><c> heart</c><00:13:02.740><c> attack.</c>

00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.720
But<00:13:04.559><c> here</c><00:13:04.960><c> it</c><00:13:05.159><c> is</c><00:13:05.379><c> not</c><00:13:05.600><c> actually</c><00:13:05.960><c> improper</c><00:13:06.779><c> Greek.</c>

00:13:08.539 --> 00:13:10.200
It's<00:13:08.940><c> emphatic</c><00:13:09.340><c> Greek.</c>

00:13:10.259 --> 00:13:11.960
It's<00:13:10.399><c> saying,</c><00:13:11.080><c> no,</c><00:13:11.139><c> no,</c><00:13:11.399><c> no,</c><00:13:11.740><c> no.</c>

00:13:12.100 --> 00:13:14.820
It's<00:13:12.220><c> like</c><00:13:12.679><c> when</c><00:13:13.139><c> your</c><00:13:13.500><c> child</c><00:13:13.799><c> wants</c><00:13:14.120><c> something,</c>

00:13:15.059 --> 00:13:15.940
you<00:13:15.159><c> don't</c><00:13:15.299><c> want</c><00:13:15.419><c> to</c><00:13:15.480><c> have</c><00:13:15.620><c> an</c><00:13:15.740><c> ice</c><00:13:15.879><c> cream.</c>

00:13:16.019 --> 00:13:18.639
You<00:13:16.080><c> say,</c><00:13:16.379><c> no,</c><00:13:16.600><c> no,</c><00:13:16.740><c> no,</c><00:13:16.960><c> you</c><00:13:16.960><c> can't</c><00:13:17.519><c> have</c><00:13:17.620><c> it.</c>

00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:20.200
The<00:13:19.039><c> first</c><00:13:19.220><c> no</c><00:13:19.360><c> would</c><00:13:19.519><c> have</c><00:13:19.639><c> been</c><00:13:19.779><c> sufficient.</c>

00:13:20.259 --> 00:13:22.500
The<00:13:20.419><c> next</c><00:13:20.659><c> three</c><00:13:20.860><c> or</c><00:13:21.019><c> four</c><00:13:21.120><c> are</c><00:13:21.220><c> just</c><00:13:21.480><c> to</c><00:13:21.720><c> make</c><00:13:21.779><c> us</c><00:13:22.000><c> feel</c><00:13:22.220><c> good.</c>

00:13:22.500 --> 00:13:24.639
This<00:13:23.399><c> is</c><00:13:23.659><c> the</c><00:13:23.820><c> emphatic.</c>

00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:27.480
He's<00:13:25.059><c> saying,</c><00:13:25.539><c> no,</c><00:13:25.919><c> no,</c><00:13:26.340><c> no,</c><00:13:26.659><c> it's</c><00:13:26.759><c> not</c><00:13:26.980><c> going</c><00:13:27.120><c> to</c><00:13:27.279><c> happen.</c>

00:13:27.779 --> 00:13:31.059
I<00:13:27.960><c> don't</c><00:13:28.200><c> know</c><00:13:28.399><c> the</c><00:13:28.539><c> day</c><00:13:28.700><c> or</c><00:13:28.799><c> the</c><00:13:28.980><c> hour,</c><00:13:29.379><c> only</c><00:13:29.799><c> my</c><00:13:30.200><c> father.</c>

00:13:31.139 --> 00:13:34.340
So<00:13:31.279><c> let's</c><00:13:31.480><c> be</c><00:13:31.899><c> careful</c><00:13:32.279><c> about</c><00:13:32.720><c> interpreting</c><00:13:33.220><c> prophecy</c>

00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:37.399
and<00:13:35.080><c> not</c><00:13:35.600><c> saying</c><00:13:35.899><c> that</c><00:13:36.059><c> Jesus</c><00:13:36.340><c> Christ</c><00:13:36.600><c> will</c><00:13:36.779><c> be</c><00:13:36.940><c> back</c><00:13:37.100><c> on</c><00:13:37.299><c> the</c>

00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:46.059
It's<00:13:44.919><c> not</c><00:13:45.039><c> going</c><00:13:45.200><c> to</c><00:13:45.259><c> happen</c><00:13:45.539><c> that</c><00:13:45.820><c> way.</c>

00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:49.720
We<00:13:46.659><c> can't</c><00:13:47.000><c> be</c><00:13:47.279><c> exactly</c><00:13:47.720><c> sure,</c><00:13:48.279><c> and</c><00:13:48.559><c> it's</c><00:13:49.019><c> wonderful</c><00:13:49.519><c> that</c>

00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:50.320
that's<00:13:50.019><c> true,</c>

00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.919
because<00:13:50.940><c> I'll</c><00:13:51.279><c> tell</c><00:13:51.379><c> you,</c><00:13:51.539><c> if</c><00:13:51.639><c> I</c><00:13:51.820><c> knew</c><00:13:52.080><c> exactly</c><00:13:52.519><c> the</c><00:13:52.639><c> day</c><00:13:52.840><c> or</c>

00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:54.639
Jesus<00:13:53.580><c> Christ</c><00:13:53.919><c> was</c><00:13:54.059><c> going</c><00:13:54.200><c> to</c><00:13:54.399><c> come,</c>

00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.139
I<00:13:55.259><c> wouldn't</c><00:13:55.740><c> do</c><00:13:55.980><c> very</c><00:13:56.279><c> much</c><00:13:56.460><c> until</c><00:13:56.700><c> about</c><00:13:56.940><c> a</c><00:13:57.039><c> day</c><00:13:57.220><c> before.</c>

00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:02.279
Maybe<00:13:59.000><c> a</c><00:13:59.259><c> week,</c><00:14:00.600><c> possibly</c><00:14:01.000><c> two</c><00:14:01.220><c> weeks.</c>

00:14:03.100 --> 00:14:05.440
But<00:14:03.279><c> I</c><00:14:03.419><c> know</c><00:14:03.519><c> that's</c><00:14:03.940><c> human</c><00:14:04.159><c> psychology,</c><00:14:05.019><c> and</c><00:14:05.139><c> the</c><00:14:05.259><c> Lord</c>

00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:06.419
knows<00:14:05.840><c> that.</c>

00:14:06.779 --> 00:14:10.879
And<00:14:07.000><c> so</c><00:14:07.120><c> He</c><00:14:07.259><c> has</c><00:14:07.519><c> deliberately</c><00:14:08.940><c> withheld</c><00:14:09.539><c> that</c><00:14:09.799><c> from</c><00:14:09.980><c> us</c><00:14:10.500><c> for</c>

our<00:14:11.259><c> benefit.</c>

00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:14.120
And<00:14:12.519><c> yet</c><00:14:12.639><c> sometimes</c><00:14:13.100><c> we</c><00:14:13.299><c> don't</c><00:14:13.519><c> appreciate</c><00:14:13.980><c> it,</c>

00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.480

00:14:17.139 --> 00:14:19.740
But<00:14:17.799><c> the</c><00:14:18.000><c> message</c><00:14:18.419><c> is</c><00:14:18.740><c> clear.</c>

00:14:20.700 --> 00:14:26.480
Watch<00:14:21.259><c> therefore,</c><00:14:23.179><c> for</c><00:14:23.320><c> ye</c><00:14:23.600><c> know</c><00:14:23.820><c> not</c><00:14:24.799><c> what</c><00:14:25.259><c> hour</c><00:14:25.820><c> your</c><00:14:26.139><c> Lord</c>

doth<00:14:26.639><c> come.</c>

00:14:27.500 --> 00:14:30.360

00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:34.700
So<00:14:30.919><c> if</c><00:14:31.059><c> Jesus</c><00:14:31.399><c> doesn't</c><00:14:31.740><c> even</c><00:14:32.039><c> know,</c><00:14:33.320><c> we</c><00:14:33.580><c> can't</c><00:14:33.840><c> be</c><00:14:34.019><c> totally</c><00:14:34.440><c> sure.</c>

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.559
But<00:14:35.379><c> we</c><00:14:36.039><c> can</c><00:14:36.279><c> be</c><00:14:36.539><c> prepared.</c>

00:14:37.860 --> 00:14:41.000
In<00:14:37.960><c> the</c><00:14:38.139><c> first</c><00:14:38.320><c> century,</c><00:14:39.360><c> when</c><00:14:39.539><c> the</c><00:14:39.700><c> Messiah</c><00:14:40.000><c> came</c><00:14:40.340><c> the</c><00:14:40.519><c> first</c><00:14:40.799><c> time,</c>

00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.399
At<00:14:46.039><c> the</c><00:14:46.259><c> time</c><00:14:46.460><c> when</c><00:14:46.600><c> they</c><00:14:46.720><c> were</c><00:14:46.899><c> taken</c><00:14:47.139><c> out</c><00:14:47.360><c> of</c><00:14:47.519><c> Egypt,</c>

00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.039
They<00:14:54.179><c> didn't</c><00:14:54.360><c> know</c><00:14:54.580><c> the</c><00:14:54.700><c> day</c><00:14:54.879><c> or</c><00:14:54.960><c> the</c><00:14:55.159><c> hour</c><00:14:55.419><c> would</c><00:14:55.639><c> have</c><00:14:55.799><c> come.</c>

00:14:56.259 --> 00:14:59.960
They<00:14:56.399><c> had</c><00:14:56.559><c> no</c><00:14:56.740><c> idea</c><00:14:57.059><c> what</c><00:14:57.279><c> day</c><00:14:57.419><c> they</c><00:14:57.600><c> were</c><00:14:57.700><c> to</c><00:14:57.879><c> get</c><00:14:58.299><c> and</c><00:14:58.860><c> cross</c><00:14:59.159><c> over,</c>

00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:05.539
They<00:15:02.740><c> weren't</c><00:15:02.980><c> sure</c><00:15:03.340><c> exactly</c><00:15:03.799><c> the</c><00:15:04.000><c> moment</c><00:15:04.279><c> that</c><00:15:04.500><c> Jesus</c><00:15:04.820><c> would</c><00:15:05.120><c> come.</c>

00:15:05.940 --> 00:15:08.360
But<00:15:06.240><c> they</c><00:15:06.500><c> knew,</c><00:15:06.840><c> and</c><00:15:06.980><c> there</c><00:15:07.139><c> was</c><00:15:07.360><c> a</c><00:15:07.440><c> general</c><00:15:07.820><c> feeling</c><00:15:08.179><c> in</c>

00:15:11.500 --> 00:15:14.960
And<00:15:11.659><c> I</c><00:15:11.720><c> think</c><00:15:11.899><c> the</c><00:15:12.120><c> same</c><00:15:12.379><c> thing</c><00:15:12.620><c> is</c><00:15:12.879><c> true</c><00:15:13.159><c> of</c><00:15:13.360><c> our</c><00:15:14.320><c> generation.</c>

00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.259
We've<00:15:15.399><c> been</c><00:15:15.539><c> very</c><00:15:15.940><c> blessed</c><00:15:16.279><c> in</c><00:15:16.860><c> that</c><00:15:17.299><c> sense.</c>

00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:23.100
And<00:15:19.179><c> remember</c><00:15:19.539><c> what</c><00:15:19.700><c> I</c><00:15:19.919><c> said</c><00:15:20.059><c> earlier</c><00:15:20.519><c> about</c><00:15:20.840><c> Peter,</c><00:15:21.779><c> Peter's</c><00:15:22.259><c> comment.</c>

00:15:23.500 --> 00:15:27.399
There's<00:15:23.700><c> another</c><00:15:23.980><c> reason</c><00:15:24.440><c> why</c><00:15:25.860><c> I</c><00:15:26.220><c> believe</c><00:15:26.559><c> prophecy</c><00:15:27.019><c> doesn't</c>

00:15:44.340 --> 00:15:49.200
He's<00:15:44.679><c> not</c><00:15:45.019><c> slow,</c><00:15:47.379><c> not</c><00:15:47.700><c> willing</c><00:15:47.960><c> that</c><00:15:48.179><c> any</c><00:15:48.360><c> should</c><00:15:48.600><c> perish,</c>

00:15:52.419 --> 00:15:55.299
And<00:15:52.620><c> remember</c><00:15:52.879><c> that,</c><00:15:53.659><c> that</c><00:15:53.799><c> when</c><00:15:54.120><c> we</c><00:15:54.519><c> pray</c><00:15:54.720><c> for</c><00:15:54.879><c> the</c><00:15:55.000><c> Lord's</c>

But<00:16:00.679><c> also,</c><00:16:01.179><c> God</c><00:16:01.580><c> knows</c><00:16:02.059><c> that</c><00:16:02.299><c> maybe</c><00:16:02.559><c> He</c><00:16:02.759><c> has</c><00:16:03.039><c> more</c><00:16:03.320><c> that</c><00:16:03.480><c> He</c><00:16:03.659><c> is</c>

00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:52.580
Things<00:16:51.080><c> will</c><00:16:51.320><c> change</c><00:16:51.600><c> very</c><00:16:52.019><c> dramatically.</c>

00:16:53.019 --> 00:16:55.519

00:16:58.659 --> 00:17:01.820
If<00:16:58.860><c> anyone</c><00:16:59.240><c> here</c><00:16:59.700><c> knew</c><00:17:00.139><c> that</c><00:17:00.600><c> the</c><00:17:00.759><c> Soviet</c><00:17:01.159><c> Union</c><00:17:01.460><c> was</c><00:17:01.679><c> going</c>

00:17:20.339 --> 00:17:21.640
Just<00:17:20.559><c> no</c><00:17:20.839><c> way.</c>

00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:23.720
It<00:17:22.119><c> was</c><00:17:22.660><c> tremendously</c><00:17:23.240><c> dramatic.</c>

00:17:23.740 --> 00:17:24.680
It<00:17:23.960><c> happened</c><00:17:24.220><c> overnight.</c>

00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:28.519
And<00:17:25.240><c> I</c><00:17:25.420><c> think,</c><00:17:25.720><c> again,</c><00:17:26.759><c> we</c><00:17:26.880><c> see</c><00:17:27.099><c> how</c><00:17:27.400><c> change</c><00:17:27.720><c> can</c><00:17:27.960><c> happen</c><00:17:28.180><c> very</c>

00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:29.579

00:17:29.579 --> 00:17:32.440
and<00:17:29.839><c> Russia</c><00:17:29.960><c> could</c><00:17:30.220><c> rise</c><00:17:30.480><c> to</c><00:17:30.640><c> a</c><00:17:30.779><c> different</c><00:17:31.000><c> situation</c>

00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:36.880
with<00:17:34.119><c> the</c><00:17:34.599><c> so</c><00:17:34.940><c>-called</c><00:17:35.099><c> democratic</c><00:17:35.660><c> regime</c><00:17:36.079><c> being</c><00:17:36.400><c> overturned</c>

00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:41.660
In<00:17:38.640><c> fact,</c><00:17:38.960><c> we've</c><00:17:39.140><c> already</c><00:17:39.380><c> in</c><00:17:39.519><c> the</c><00:17:39.660><c> last</c><00:17:39.839><c> few</c><00:17:40.000><c> days</c><00:17:40.720><c> even</c><00:17:41.400><c> seen</c>

that<00:17:41.940><c> possibility</c>

00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:47.500

00:17:50.980 --> 00:17:51.880
We've<00:17:51.259><c> seen</c><00:17:51.400><c> that</c><00:17:51.579><c> before.</c>

00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:54.180
Hitler<00:17:52.160><c> did</c><00:17:52.380><c> the</c><00:17:52.539><c> same</c><00:17:52.700><c> thing</c><00:17:52.859><c> with</c><00:17:53.000><c> the</c><00:17:53.180><c> Reichstag.</c>

00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:56.720
He<00:17:54.799><c> dissolved</c><00:17:55.220><c> the</c><00:17:55.400><c> Reichstag,</c><00:17:55.960><c> sent</c><00:17:56.140><c> them</c><00:17:56.319><c> home,</c>

00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.680
said<00:17:57.019><c> he</c><00:17:57.099><c> was</c><00:17:57.240><c> going</c><00:17:57.299><c> to</c><00:17:57.380><c> have</c><00:17:57.480><c> a</c><00:17:57.539><c> new</c><00:17:57.740><c> election,</c><00:17:58.140><c> and</c><00:17:58.220><c> he</c><00:17:58.299><c> never</c><00:17:58.559><c> had</c><00:17:58.819><c> one.</c>

I<00:19:06.079><c> always</c><00:19:06.339><c> thought</c><00:19:06.460><c> New</c><00:19:06.720><c> Jersey</c><00:19:07.000><c> was</c><00:19:07.200><c> a</c><00:19:07.400><c> turnpike</c><00:19:07.799><c> going</c><00:19:08.059><c> from</c>

00:19:18.180 --> 00:19:24.359
It's<00:19:18.880><c> something</c><00:19:19.259><c> like</c><00:19:19.660><c> 7</c><00:19:20.160><c>,849</c><00:19:21.599><c> square</c><00:19:22.119><c> miles,</c><00:19:23.799><c> just</c><00:19:23.799><c> slightly</c>

00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.160

For<00:33:17.119><c> yourselves</c><00:33:17.579><c> know</c><00:33:17.819><c> perfectly</c><00:33:18.299><c> that</c><00:33:18.559><c> the</c><00:33:18.720><c> day</c><00:33:18.900><c> of</c><00:33:19.000><c> the</c><00:33:19.119><c> Lord</c>

00:33:27.819 --> 00:33:31.279
Watch<00:33:28.079><c> ye</c><00:33:28.480><c> therefore,</c><00:33:29.440><c> for</c><00:33:29.579><c> ye</c><00:33:29.859><c> knoweth</c><00:33:30.559><c> not</c><00:33:30.700><c> what</c><00:33:30.900><c> hour</c><00:33:31.119><c> the</c>

00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:37.759
This<00:33:34.579><c> is</c><00:33:34.799><c> a</c><00:33:34.839><c> very</c><00:33:35.079><c> important</c><00:33:35.440><c> message</c><00:33:35.759><c> for</c><00:33:35.980><c> us</c><00:33:36.319><c> as</c><00:33:36.599><c> his</c><00:33:36.839><c> people.</c>

00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:40.799
We<00:33:38.259><c> must</c><00:33:38.579><c> maintain</c><00:33:39.119><c> a</c><00:33:39.359><c> state</c><00:33:39.480><c> of</c><00:33:39.759><c> watchfulness,</c>

00:33:40.940 --> 00:33:43.880

00:33:43.980 --> 00:33:48.220
because<00:33:44.180><c> if</c><00:33:45.400><c> peace</c><00:33:45.980><c> could</c><00:33:46.519><c> come</c><00:33:46.680><c> so</c><00:33:47.039><c> dramatically</c><00:33:47.680><c> in</c><00:33:47.880><c> a</c><00:33:48.019><c> way</c>

00:33:48.220 --> 00:33:49.000
so<00:33:48.559><c> quickly,</c>

00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:51.779
when<00:33:49.480><c> for</c><00:33:49.779><c> years</c><00:33:50.039><c> and</c><00:33:50.099><c> years</c><00:33:50.400><c> and</c><00:33:50.480><c> years</c><00:33:50.720><c> it</c><00:33:50.960><c> seemed</c><00:33:51.160><c> like</c><00:33:51.460><c> no</c>

00:33:51.779 --> 00:33:52.460

00:33:52.460 --> 00:33:54.559
would<00:33:52.599><c> these</c><00:33:52.779><c> people</c><00:33:53.019><c> talk</c><00:33:53.339><c> to</c><00:33:53.440><c> each</c><00:33:53.619><c> other,</c>

00:33:55.980 --> 00:33:59.420
the<00:33:56.119><c> Bible</c><00:33:56.500><c> prophecy</c><00:33:57.019><c> that</c><00:33:57.380><c> then</c><00:33:57.900><c> sudden</c><00:33:58.220><c> destruction</c><00:33:58.880><c> cometh</c>

00:33:59.420 --> 00:34:02.319
must<00:34:00.299><c> also</c><00:34:00.700><c> be</c><00:34:00.960><c> borne</c><00:34:01.220><c> in</c><00:34:01.400><c> mind.</c>

00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:05.660
When<00:34:02.619><c> they</c><00:34:03.440><c> say</c><00:34:03.839><c> peace</c><00:34:04.359><c> and</c><00:34:04.619><c> safety,</c>

00:34:06.500 --> 00:34:09.679
then<00:34:07.019><c> sudden</c><00:34:07.539><c> destruction</c><00:34:08.119><c> cometh</c><00:34:08.500><c> upon</c><00:34:08.880><c> them.</c>

00:34:09.980 --> 00:34:11.420
He<00:34:10.119><c> gives</c><00:34:10.320><c> us</c><00:34:10.539><c> a</c><00:34:10.659><c> little</c><00:34:10.860><c> bit</c><00:34:11.019><c> of</c><00:34:11.179><c> a</c><00:34:11.239><c> hint.</c>

00:34:11.539 --> 00:34:15.440
As<00:34:11.760><c> travail</c><00:34:12.179><c> upon</c><00:34:12.599><c> a</c><00:34:12.820><c> woman</c><00:34:13.059><c> with</c><00:34:13.360><c> child,</c><00:34:13.699><c> they</c><00:34:13.900><c> shall</c><00:34:14.119><c> not</c><00:34:14.380><c> escape.</c>

00:34:17.099 --> 00:34:24.260
So<00:34:17.579><c> it</c><00:34:17.719><c> may</c><00:34:17.880><c> very</c><00:34:18.219><c> well</c><00:34:18.480><c> occur</c><00:34:19.460><c> in</c><00:34:21.119><c> the</c><00:34:21.320><c> period</c><00:34:21.880><c> shortly</c><00:34:23.920><c> in</c>

00:34:24.260 --> 00:34:25.519
the<00:34:24.360><c> near</c><00:34:24.539><c> future.</c>

00:34:26.179 --> 00:34:30.039
And<00:34:26.300><c> I</c><00:34:26.400><c> think</c><00:34:26.559><c> we</c><00:34:26.699><c> ought</c><00:34:26.860><c> to</c><00:34:26.960><c> be</c><00:34:27.079><c> very</c><00:34:27.500><c> careful</c><00:34:28.000><c> to</c><00:34:28.980><c> be</c><00:34:29.239><c> watchful</c><00:34:29.679><c> now</c>

00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:33.360
and<00:34:30.239><c> not</c><00:34:30.480><c> let</c><00:34:30.679><c> down</c><00:34:30.980><c> our</c><00:34:31.280><c> guard</c><00:34:31.599><c> and</c><00:34:31.780><c> get</c><00:34:32.019><c> involved</c><00:34:32.480><c> in</c><00:34:32.639><c> all</c><00:34:32.900><c> kinds</c><00:34:33.199><c> of</c>

00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:34.900
things<00:34:33.539><c> in</c><00:34:33.719><c> the</c><00:34:33.900><c> world.</c>

00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:37.099
Now<00:34:35.539><c> is</c><00:34:35.739><c> the</c><00:34:35.980><c> time</c><00:34:36.239><c> to</c><00:34:36.440><c> stand</c><00:34:36.760><c> fast.</c>

00:34:37.179 --> 00:34:38.900
Now<00:34:37.440><c> is</c><00:34:37.659><c> the</c><00:34:37.820><c> time</c><00:34:38.079><c> to</c><00:34:38.320><c> make</c><00:34:38.480><c> peace.</c>

00:34:39.179 --> 00:34:41.119
Now<00:34:39.420><c> is</c><00:34:39.659><c> the</c><00:34:39.820><c> time</c><00:34:40.039><c> to</c><00:34:40.320><c> settle.</c>

00:34:41.300 --> 00:34:43.099
Now<00:34:41.539><c> is</c><00:34:41.739><c> the</c><00:34:41.900><c> time</c><00:34:42.079><c> to</c><00:34:42.320><c> remain</c><00:34:42.599><c> strong.</c>

00:34:43.099 --> 00:34:47.320
There's<00:34:43.980><c> no</c><00:34:44.199><c> doubt</c><00:34:44.400><c> in</c><00:34:44.440><c> my</c><00:34:44.719><c> mind</c><00:34:44.960><c> at</c><00:34:45.199><c> all</c><00:34:45.699><c> that</c><00:34:46.219><c> he</c><00:34:46.360><c> says</c><00:34:46.559><c> when</c><00:34:46.840><c> they...</c>

Who's<00:34:47.679><c> they?</c>

00:34:49.300 --> 00:34:50.619
Who's<00:34:49.639><c> the</c><00:34:49.820><c> they?</c>

00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:52.980
To<00:34:51.360><c> my</c><00:34:51.619><c> mind,</c><00:34:52.199><c> it's</c><00:34:52.400><c> not</c><00:34:52.619><c> us.</c>

00:34:53.139 --> 00:34:57.639
He's<00:34:53.360><c> not</c><00:34:53.539><c> talking</c><00:34:53.880><c> here</c><00:34:54.460><c> about</c><00:34:55.000><c> the</c><00:34:55.400><c> household</c><00:34:56.000><c> as</c><00:34:56.880><c> he</c><00:34:57.079><c> was</c><00:34:57.239><c> before</c>

00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:00.500
when<00:34:57.800><c> he</c><00:34:57.960><c> says</c><00:34:58.059><c> he</c><00:34:58.179><c> gave</c><00:34:58.380><c> this</c><00:34:58.639><c> prophecy</c><00:34:59.000><c> to</c><00:34:59.280><c> his</c><00:34:59.539><c> servants.</c>

00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:03.519
I<00:35:00.719><c> think</c><00:35:00.860><c> here</c><00:35:01.079><c> he's</c><00:35:01.300><c> talking</c><00:35:01.480><c> about</c><00:35:01.679><c> when</c><00:35:01.840><c> the</c><00:35:02.039><c> world</c><00:35:02.400><c> says</c><00:35:02.719><c> it.</c>

00:35:04.059 --> 00:35:07.059
I<00:35:04.199><c> think</c><00:35:04.280><c> when</c><00:35:04.400><c> he</c><00:35:04.539><c> says</c><00:35:04.659><c> when</c><00:35:04.920><c> they</c><00:35:05.300><c> say,</c><00:35:06.000><c> as</c><00:35:06.239><c> opposed</c><00:35:06.599><c> to</c><00:35:06.820><c> us</c>

00:35:07.059 --> 00:35:07.880
saying<00:35:07.380><c> it,</c>

00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:12.099
he's<00:35:08.460><c> talking</c><00:35:08.639><c> about</c><00:35:08.840><c> all</c><00:35:09.059><c> these</c><00:35:09.679><c> things</c><00:35:10.519><c> I</c><00:35:10.699><c> put</c><00:35:10.820><c> up</c><00:35:11.039><c> here.</c>

00:35:12.139 --> 00:35:15.340
And<00:35:12.639><c> this</c><00:35:12.800><c> is</c><00:35:13.079><c> exactly</c><00:35:13.539><c> what</c><00:35:13.780><c> the</c><00:35:13.960><c> world</c><00:35:14.199><c> is</c><00:35:14.460><c> saying,</c>

00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:18.400
that<00:35:15.860><c> peace</c><00:35:16.280><c> has</c><00:35:16.500><c> been</c><00:35:16.699><c> achieved</c><00:35:17.039><c> in</c><00:35:17.179><c> the</c><00:35:17.300><c> Middle</c><00:35:17.519><c> East.</c>

00:35:19.579 --> 00:35:22.360
One<00:35:19.739><c> more</c><00:35:20.000><c> part</c><00:35:20.219><c> of</c><00:35:20.360><c> the</c><00:35:20.500><c> world</c><00:35:20.719><c> which</c><00:35:20.900><c> we</c><00:35:21.119><c> worried</c><00:35:21.340><c> about</c><00:35:21.719><c> is</c><00:35:22.099><c> gone.</c>

00:35:22.420 --> 00:35:25.260
We<00:35:22.500><c> don't</c><00:35:22.639><c> have</c><00:35:22.820><c> to</c><00:35:23.320><c> concern</c><00:35:23.659><c> ourselves</c><00:35:24.059><c> with</c><00:35:24.219><c> it</c><00:35:24.400><c> anymore.</c>

00:35:25.659 --> 00:35:30.800
And<00:35:25.820><c> so</c><00:35:25.940><c> I</c><00:35:26.039><c> think</c><00:35:26.239><c> that</c><00:35:26.440><c> we</c><00:35:28.320><c> have</c><00:35:28.440><c> a</c><00:35:28.579><c> great</c><00:35:28.880><c> deal</c><00:35:29.159><c> to</c><00:35:29.179><c> look</c><00:35:29.440><c> forward</c><00:35:29.739><c> to.</c>

00:40:34.460 --> 00:40:38.260
Now,<00:40:35.179><c> most</c><00:40:35.460><c> of</c><00:40:35.639><c> the</c><00:40:35.860><c> small</c><00:40:36.139><c> diamonds</c><00:40:36.460><c> are</c><00:40:36.679><c> cut</c><00:40:36.860><c> in</c><00:40:37.320><c> Israel,</c>

00:42:13.239 --> 00:42:16.780
You<00:42:13.500><c> are</c><00:42:14.139><c> the</c><00:42:14.420><c> example</c><00:42:14.880><c> of</c><00:42:15.119><c> God</c><00:42:15.420><c> calling</c><00:42:15.780><c> out</c><00:42:16.039><c> of</c><00:42:16.199><c> every</c><00:42:16.460><c> nation,</c>

00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:21.619
So<00:42:19.219><c> I</c><00:42:19.440><c> think</c><00:42:20.079><c> this</c><00:42:20.400><c> has</c><00:42:20.659><c> not</c><00:42:20.840><c> only</c><00:42:21.019><c> been</c><00:42:21.260><c> done</c><00:42:21.340><c> now,</c>

00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:25.039
I<00:42:21.739><c> think</c><00:42:22.059><c> this</c><00:42:22.500><c> has</c><00:42:22.719><c> been</c><00:42:22.900><c> already</c><00:42:23.199><c> fulfilled</c><00:42:23.599><c> for</c><00:42:23.840><c> a</c><00:42:24.000><c> long</c><00:42:24.280><c> time.</c>

00:42:29.179 --> 00:42:31.179
Because<00:42:29.420><c> everyone</c><00:42:29.780><c> wants</c><00:42:30.119><c> specific</c><00:42:30.760><c> calling.</c>

00:42:31.179 --> 00:42:33.659
They<00:42:31.900><c> don't</c><00:42:32.079><c> want</c><00:42:32.280><c> to</c><00:42:32.420><c> believe</c><00:42:32.760><c> that</c><00:42:32.940><c> if</c><00:42:33.059><c> I'm</c><00:42:33.239><c> somewhere</c>

00:42:33.659 --> 00:42:35.579
and<00:42:33.900><c> I</c><00:42:34.059><c> really</c><00:42:34.659><c> have</c><00:42:35.159><c> a</c><00:42:35.360><c> wonder</c>

00:42:35.579 --> 00:42:37.460
about<00:42:35.900><c> the</c><00:42:36.059><c> nature</c><00:42:36.320><c> of</c><00:42:36.480><c> the</c><00:42:36.619><c> world</c><00:42:36.860><c> and</c><00:42:37.079><c> creation</c>

00:42:37.460 --> 00:42:38.440
and<00:42:37.619><c> I'm</c><00:42:37.760><c> looking</c><00:42:38.000><c> for</c><00:42:38.219><c> God,</c>

00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:40.380
that<00:42:38.679><c> somehow</c><00:42:39.000><c> I</c><00:42:39.440><c> may</c><00:42:39.639><c> be</c><00:42:39.860><c> drawn</c><00:42:40.000><c> to</c><00:42:40.179><c> that</c>

00:42:40.380 --> 00:42:43.159
by<00:42:40.579><c> being</c><00:42:40.800><c> called</c><00:42:41.099><c> to</c><00:42:41.300><c> immigrate</c><00:42:41.860><c> or</c><00:42:42.320><c> meeting</c><00:42:42.800><c> someone.</c>

00:42:43.420 --> 00:42:46.599
They<00:42:43.800><c> don't</c><00:42:44.000><c> believe</c><00:42:44.300><c> in</c><00:42:44.619><c> God's</c><00:42:45.000><c> part</c><00:42:45.159><c> of</c><00:42:45.320><c> this</c><00:42:45.500><c> at</c><00:42:45.659><c> all.</c>

00:42:48.699 --> 00:42:51.900
There's<00:42:49.139><c> too</c><00:42:49.380><c> many</c><00:42:49.579><c> examples</c><00:42:50.079><c> when,</c><00:42:50.880><c> to</c><00:42:51.000><c> me,</c><00:42:51.260><c> to</c><00:42:51.400><c> my</c><00:42:51.679><c> mind,</c>

00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:54.980
the<00:42:52.119><c> people</c><00:42:52.280><c> have</c><00:42:52.480><c> come</c><00:42:52.639><c> to</c><00:42:53.380><c> the</c><00:42:53.500><c> word</c><00:42:53.699><c> of</c><00:42:53.920><c> God</c><00:42:54.159><c> by</c><00:42:54.440><c> being</c><00:42:54.760><c> led</c>

00:42:54.980 --> 00:42:56.059
to<00:42:55.239><c> it.</c>

00:42:56.599 --> 00:42:58.159
We<00:42:56.840><c> always</c><00:42:57.019><c> like</c><00:42:57.199><c> to</c><00:42:57.340><c> think</c><00:42:57.460><c> it's</c><00:42:57.719><c> our</c><00:42:57.960><c> doing.</c>

00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:00.559
We<00:42:58.420><c> do</c><00:42:58.619><c> everything.</c><00:42:59.019><c> I</c><00:42:59.139><c> don't</c><00:42:59.280><c> think</c><00:42:59.400><c> that's</c><00:42:59.719><c> true.</c>

00:43:01.179 --> 00:43:07.099
I<00:43:01.179><c> was</c><00:43:01.679><c> just</c><00:43:01.679><c> thinking</c><00:43:02.099><c> about</c><00:43:04.300><c> our</c><00:43:04.699><c> acting</c><00:43:05.119><c> in</c><00:43:05.739><c> Washington</c>

00:43:15.739 --> 00:43:17.780

00:43:18.019 --> 00:43:19.460
he's<00:43:18.219><c> not</c><00:43:18.440><c> funny.</c>

00:43:19.940 --> 00:43:21.059
Of<00:43:20.179><c> course,</c><00:43:20.360><c> he</c><00:43:20.440><c> was</c><00:43:20.519><c> in</c><00:43:20.599><c> Washington.</c>

00:43:26.900 --> 00:43:27.940
That<00:43:27.059><c> was</c><00:43:27.340><c> interesting.</c>

He<00:43:28.559><c> felt</c><00:43:29.199><c> very</c><00:43:29.539><c> good</c><00:43:29.739><c> to</c><00:43:29.880><c> be</c><00:43:30.019><c> in</c><00:43:30.239><c> Washington,</c>
